Cooking with Linux - Watching the Community Network
The program creates an initial directory for its configuration as well as for skins. That's right, the program is skinnable. Not only can you download skins, but GQradio comes with a built-in skin editor so you can unleash your creative spirit. Right-click on the GQradio GUI for a drop-down menu that lets you modify the program at will.
Next, we turn our attention to the world of video broadcasts and my own early community network brush with television reporting. François, perhaps you had better pour me a glass as well. After all your laughter, it occurs to me that I may need a little courage.
For the impatient among you, most Linux distributions come with a television viewing application called xawtv by Gerd Knorr (of ncurses radio fame). If you simply start up the xawtv program, you'll likely find that you get nothing but a blank screen, particularly if you are in North America. The program defaults to the PAL format among other things. To lock xawtv into some saner settings for your particular location, you need to edit the $HOME/.xawtv configuration file. Here's what mine looks like:
[global] freqtab = us-bcast [defaults] input = Television norm = NTSC [vcr] channel = 3 key = 3
The file is broken up into sections, denoted by a title inside square brackets (for all the possible settings, do a man xawtvrc). The global and defaults section are the most important ones, because they allow us to set our local transmission standards as well as the input device. The [vcr] section is one I added. Quite simply, it represents channel 3, the output from my VCR.
Many programs are available for watching TV. MPlayer (www.MPlayerHQ.hu) is a popular, do-it-all kind of player. Once again, check your distribution—you may already have a copy. Using codecs, it can play all those AVI or MPG files you have floating around. You may know this already, but MPlayer also can handle a TV tuner card. Here's how:
mplayer -tv \ on:driver=v4l:channel=3:input=0:norm=NTSC\ :width=640:height=480
The backslashes in the above command are there because I couldn't fit the entire command on one line. You can type it as one, unbroken line, if you prefer. To use the MPlayer GUI, use gmplayer instead. The driver parameter selects the video4linux driver (v4l). The channel setting is obvious, and the norm setting lets me choose the NTSC broadcast standard for North America. The final settings are for height and width.
These programs are great ways to watch TV on your Linux system, but if you are like me, you've looked with some amount of envy at the entertainment systems your friends with digital cable have a nasty habit of showing off. With their TiVos and their PVR (personal video recorder) units, they have access to on-screen displays of upcoming shows, which they can schedule and watch whenever the mood takes them. Well, envy no more, mes amis. To have an entire video entertainment system under the control of your Linux system, look no further than MythTV, a full-featured personal video recorder and television master control.
Imagine if you will, a digital video recorder that lets you view live TV, with instant replay so you can pause, rewind and fast-forward through the action. MythTV lets you program shows on a timer and view on-line television listings on which you can do string searches—looking for a particular episode of a Buffy rerun? Combine this with support for multiple TV tuner cards, multiple simultaneous recordings and a distributed system so you can set up different MythTV boxes on your network. Wrap it all up in a slick, themeable package and you are starting to get an idea of what I am talking about.
Does this sound like something you can't wait to get your hands on? Then, head on over to www.mythtv.org and pick up the packages. RPM packages are available for different distributions, as are Debian packages and Gentoo ebuild and digest files. Check out the "Software" section of www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-3.html for links to prebuilt packages. This fine package is also available in a source archive bundle.
MythTV is a very cool package, but making it run requires some work and that you install a few prerequisites. Most of these are development libraries comprising of freetype2-devel, XFree86-devel, qt-devel, lame and libexpat. MythTV recommends that you get the latest libexpat from sourceforge.net/projects/expat. Finally, to use MythTV's XMLTV channel information grabber and scheduling tool, you definitely need Perl and a handful of modules. It also is possible to use an infrared remote with MythTV (using lirc), but that is one nuance I did not sample.
You may find, as I did, that you need a few additional modules to get XMLTV actually working. These modules are XML::Twig, Date::Manip, LWP and XML::Writer. The easiest way to install them is with the perl -MCPAN -e shell command. Start the CPAN shell as root, and you'll see a cpan> prompt. If this is the first time you use CPAN, you'll encounter a question-and-answer session to help the software identify your local CPAN mirrors. Then, enter the following at the cpan> prompt:
cpan> install XML::Twig cpan> install Date::Manip cpan> install LWP cpan> install XML::Writer cpan> exit

You'll need good walking shoes!
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Forget about wearing high heels in Toledo - the small cobblestone streets are very charming but slightly uneven, and as the entire portion of the city within the walls is built up on hill, you'll spend the entire day either going down or climbing up some more or less steep hills. And as there is no denying that this city is best seen on foot, if you want to make the most of your time there, I'd highly recommend bringing a pair of comfortable walking shoes.
- Hiking and Walking
Get A Good Map Before You Start
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Good shoes with strong arch supports are a must in this hilly cobblestone filled city.
Miscellaneous: Toledo must have been designed originally to confuse its enemies from successfully invading the City. There are a confusing series of streets with names of streets changing frequently.
Definitely it is important to get a good map. The one given out at the tourist information center is ok but there are much better sources. I recommend going to the site go-toledo.com which has two excellent maps. The first relies on Google earth technology and provides details on individual streets but not city landmarks. The second map, which can be printed out, is linked to four excellent series of walks through Toledo. The maps, along with the short walk texts, provide outstanding information on four great walks through this amazing City. There is a short description of the more than 30 sites they call out on their walks. Best part of it is that it is free!
Snacks and water
Miscellaneous: If you are coming from Madrid, on a budget and visiting Toledo on a day-trip, would be wise to buy your mineral water and little snacks before enterign the boundary of the old town. Toledo Old town is pricy.
keep cool
Miscellaneous: just around 60min from Madrid, one does not need much packing...but have good footwear, you are on your feet a lot, suncream and lip protection...this City is a hot place...right from May till oct. the narrow streets just keep the heat 'conserved' and throws it right into to face again, keep your fluids up!!
- Architecture
Free Town Map
Miscellaneous: Get a free copy of map from the Spanish tourist office near the bus stop. Though it could be difficult sometimes to find your way out into the old town which was built on hills.

I haven't been on here in ages. So I'm sure this has been discussed a million times. So sorry to bring it up again if it's an old topic.
But rather than going to another board that only focuses on toddlers, I thought I'd come here since your LO's are the same age as mine.
Our pedi told me we could start trying to poop potty train our son. She suggested this since has has terrible rashes constantly no matter what we do.
So far, we've had no luck! He's totally afraid of the potty. I think he thinks he's going to fall in. I ordered a cute little seat that should come soon. But until then, what are your tips?
He tells me after he's gone poop, but never before. Our doctor said most kids poop around 30 minutes after eating. For my son, it's more like 5!
But when we put him on there, if we can even get him to stay, he won't poop. He usually ends up pooping 2-10 minutes later in his diaper.
We leave him on for 5-10 minutes, depending what he lets us do.
Please let me know any of your tips or success stories. I'm so tired of having him cry when I change his red little bum.
I will be home from work the whole week of Thanksgiving, so I'm planning on tackling it then rather than sporadically now.
Than you in advance!

The Journal Sentinel's Craig Gilbert explores political trends in a purple state and beyond.
A longer GOP presidential race could make for a meaningful Wisconsin primary
By sidetracking Mitt Romney's march to the GOP nomination, Newt Gingrich's victory in South Carolina last week has opened the door for Wisconsin to play a role in the Republican race, something that didn't seem possible a few weeks ago.
Wisconsin's presidential primary is April 3. It comes after contests in 29 other states. A state so late in the calendar can only matter if the nominating fight turns into a drawn-out slog for delegates in which no contender can dominate long enough to put opponents away.
Thanks to South Carolina, we could be looking at such a race. The Gingrich victory punctured the sense of inevitability around Romney and squelched the prospect of a quick end to the GOP contest.
Even if Romney wins Florida Tuesday and reasserts himself as the front-runner, the contest is almost certain now to last through Super Tuesday March 6. Gingrich would just have to win a few southern primaries that day to soldier on into April.
"I think the Wisconsin primary is still going to be relevant. I can't see Newt or (Rick) Santorum giving up," says former governor and 2008 presidential candidate Tommy Thompson, who is running for US Senate now. He hasn't endorsed anyone in the race but sees Romney as the likely nominee.
If Gingrich somehow wins Florida (where he's now trailing in the polls), it would all but ensure a marathon fight and make a meaningful Wisconsin primary not just possible but probable.
"That would pretty much guarantee the race would go into April, May, even maybe early June. It would just propel it that far," says John Weaver, a longtime GOP strategist who worked for John McCain in 2000 and Jon Huntsman in this race before Huntsman withdrew.
Three factors are at play when it comes to the length of the Republican race.
One is the calendar. Even though Wisconsin's primary is more than two months away, there are big lulls in those two months, which could serve to extend the race. After the Nevada Caucuses Feb. 4, there's a three-week gap before Michigan and Arizona vote Feb. 28. Super Tuesday (which includes Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Virginia) is March 6. But the schedule is fairly light for the rest of March, with primaries in Illinois and Louisiana and scattered caucuses elsewhere. Wisconsin shares its April 3 date with Maryland, DC and at the moment, Texas, though the Texas date has shifted once and could change again because of a legal fight over redistricting there.
"March will determine just how important the Wisconsin primary is," says Steve King, a Republican National Committeeman from Wisconsin. "There could be a lot of flying (by candidates) between Dallas, Houston, Austin, Madison and Milwaukee."
The second factor is how delegates are divvied up. Party rules have shifted some states from winner-take-all to proportional allocation. Some states, including Florida, have lost half their delegates as a penalty for moving their primaries up in the calendar. For both reasons, it's going to take any front-runner longer to amass delegates, which gives others in the race (including Santorum and Ron Paul) added incentive to stay in.
The third factor, by far the most important, is the performance of the candidates, and whether anyone can stack enough victories to convince party leaders, activists, donors and voters to coalesce around one presumptive nominee before the process has run its course. Romney lost his best chance to do that when he lost South Carolina. He may have another opportunity if he wins Florida, especially since much of the GOP establishment and many influential conservatives think Gingrich is unelectable and are eager to stop him.
"The establishment is already in full panic mode," says Weaver. "If Gingrich wins Florida, their hair will be on fire and they'll be in complete despair."
Yet even if he regains the upper hand, it's going to take Romney more than two victories (including one in his political backyard of New Hampshire) to clinch the nomination.
"A win in Florida -- I don't know that it puts the inevitability argument back on the table" for Romney, says Josh Putnam, a political scientist and author of a blog on the nominating process, Frontloading HQ. "What the Gingrich win (in South Carolina) did is thrust this thing back into a gray area, an area of uncertainty."
Putnam thinks Romney still needs to show he can win in the party's core region of the South, an opportunity he won't have until Super Tuesday.
At this point, there's really only one scenario where the Wisconsin Primary is a complete irrelevancy, thought it's certainly a plausible one: Romney wins Florida, dominates the February states of Nevada, Arizona and Michigan, and dominates on Super Tuesday.
Short of that, Wisconsin could have a say in the Republican nomination, and another moment of many these days in the national spotlight.

Rhubarb Oatmeal Muffins
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 20 mins
I couldn't find a muffin that quite fit the bill for me, and so fiddled, combined, etc. and came up with this one. I hope that you enjoy!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄4 cups quick-cooking oatmeal
- 1 1⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 egg
- 1⁄2 cup oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups rhubarb, chopped
- 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Mix the oatmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg well in a large bowl.
- Mix the brown sugar, sour cream, egg, oil, and vanilla well in a medium bowl.
- Pour the wet into the dry and fold until about halfway mixed.
- Add the rhubarb and fold until just combined.
- Portion into a greased muffin tin and sprinkle the tops with the sugar.
- Bake for about 20 minutes.
- Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
Most Helpful
Excellent, easy and will definitely make these again. I admit to adding a little extra nutmeg (personal preference) and omitting the turbinado sugar. So yummy. I was a little skeptical since I'd never cooked raw rhubarb before. The rhubarb cooked up so well, soft and tangy, balanced well against the sweetness of the brown sugar and the spice of the nutmeg & cinnamon. Saved it to my Favorites! I made some into muffins and the rest in a small cake pan, like a coffee cake.
Did them as is and they turned out awesome! Great balance of sweet and tart, rustic and homey. A definite keeper!
These were great muffins! Took them to work on a morning when we had to be in early and they were gobbled up in no time. Converted these to gluten free using my favorite gluten free flour mix. Also added 2 T of ground flax seed (my standard practice for converting recipes to gluten free). Made for New Kids on the Block Tag.

What's happening in the wireless world.
AT&T will be the first to offer a Surface 3 tablet with 4G LTE connectivity
FCC says AT&T misled customers about their unlimited data plans.
Google is nothing if not ambitious. Of course, not everything Google touches turns to gold the way search and Gmail did -- we're looking at you Google Plus. So, we'll have to wait and see what impact Google's newest venture, Project Fi, has on the industry it's competing in (wireless phone service). In the meantime, let's have a look at what Project Fi is and what it could be.
Competition between rival services might be bad for a business, but it usually ends up being good for the consumer. In the case of Google Fiber expanding, competition between Google and other ISPs tend to result in lower prices between rival gigabit services. AT&T, for example, has had to offer its own gigabit service at a matching price in areas that Google Fiber has entered.
In what might be the boldest move yet by a wireless carrier, Sprint today announced it will cut in half the monthly rate plan for Verizon and AT&T customers if they jump ship and swim to Sprint beginning Friday, December 5.
AT&T this week agreed to pay out $105 million in fines and refunds to settle "mobile cramming" charges against the company. According to the Federal Trade Commission, the settlement is the largest ever with a prominent mobile phone carrier.
Well, it's official -- Amazon today introduced Fire, its first smartphone. Fire also happens to be the only smartphone with "Dynamic Perspective" and "Firefly," a couple of new technologies Amazon is excited about.
On Sunday AT&T agreed to purchase the satellite television operator DirectTV for $48.5 billion. In a conference call to investors, the multinational telecommunications company revealed that it would purchase DirectTV in a stock-and-cash transaction for $95 per share, the stock's closing price for the satellite company this past Friday.
Forget about data caps, service fees, and other buzz kills of the broadband era. In regards to the high-speed infrastructure that can deliver blistering fast downloads, AT&T on Monday announced a major initiative to expand its fiber network to up to 100 candidate cities and municipalities nationwide, including 21 new major metropolitan areas.
At long last, users clamoring for 4G LTE broadband connectivity on a Surface 2 tablet are about to get their wish. Beginning tomorrow, Microsoft will begin offering a version of its Surface 2 slate with a built-in 4G LTE radio for $679.
AT&T has developed a Credits System for the purpose of limiting file-sharing bandwidth as reported by TorrentFreak.
All is fair in love and war, and even though AT&T once tried courting T-Mobile to the tune of $39 billion before regulators shot down the deal, these one-time wireless BFFs are back to being rivals.
AT&T seems to be at the front of the line a lot when it comes to mobile devices. For a period of time, it was the only carrier offering Apple's iPhone, and more recently, if you wanted a customized Moto X device from Motorola, you had to be an AT&T subscriber. Not anymore.
The thing about smartphones is that even though they're offered at a large discount when signing up for a two-year service agreement, if you don't opt for an accidental damage warranty, you could be looking at a costly replacement if something goes wrong. What happens if you're sitting by the pool and your Galaxy S4 decides to squirt out of your hand and go for a swim?

Younger knows it's fun to watch Rafi and David cross lines of age, culture and religion. He also knows it's painful. That's what makes his movie hilarious and heartfelt.
There are some one-liners that zing not only with humor but truth. On the whole I was satisfied.
Prime serves as yet another showcase for Streep; to prove how expertly she plays a Jewish mother with a Ph.D. in psychology, just imagine Barbra Streisand in the role -- you'd have a farce only a step above slapstick. With Streep, you get a smartly observant comedy that never overplays its hand.
Yes, Younger has made an update of the ''shiksa who changed my life" story in ''Annie Hall." But Prime is missing the psychological acuity and scabrous cultural wit of Woody Allen at his best. These lovers meet standing in line to see Antonioni's ''Blow-Up" and never mention the movie.
Prime may have its unlikely moments, but overall its heart is winningly untraditional and in exactly the right place.
This may sound like Woody Allen - in fact, it often feels like Woody Allen (minus the expected helpings of angst) - but it's not. Prime is from writer/director Ben Younger and, while it's not up to the level of Allen's great romantic comedies ("Annie Hall," "Manhattan"), it's better than anything the acclaimed New York auteur has brought to the screen in recent years.
Despite the snappy brilliance of the setup, Prime doesn't entirely deliver on its promise -- something about the way it ends feels like a cop-out, and the opportunities for humor aren't exploited quite as well as they could be.
Prime is neither deep nor as shallow as it first threatens to be, but surprisingly good fun.
Sure, this romance, starring Meryl Streep, Uma Thurman and Bryan Greenberg, follows a familiar boy-meets-girl scenario, but Younger turns the routine into combustible fun.
The real revelation here is Streep, who spends every moment comically negotiating her conflicted impulses.
Frankly, the most disturbing thing about Prime is that Uma Thurman is now officially an Older Woman.
Despite its title, Prime is not a cut above. This romantic comedy's predictability and rather dull love story make it the cinematic equivalent of a slightly stale hamburger.
The sort of movie where all of the best jokes are in the trailer, but these days a romantic comedy with anything worth quoting at all is something of an accomplishment.
Despite a comic Yiddishe mama turn by Meryl Streep and a sensitively nuanced performance by Uma Thurman in a convincing changeup from her recent kickass action roles, Prime remains an oddly juiceless older woman-younger man romance, with a Freudian twist.
All of this makes the movie pleasant, but not very memorable - a pale mirror image of "Shopgirl," which touches on some similar themes.
Now that Woody Allen is no longer making acceptable Woody Allen movies, it's surprising we're not seeing more comedies like Prime, a slight but well-meaning picture that strives for the same kind of pleasurably neurotic sophistication that Allen, at his best, used to give us.
Not one bit of the story tracks. But with these women in these roles, you're asking for truth?
Unfortunately, this rich story about actual adults takes up maybe a third of Prime. The rest of the time, we're hanging with David and Rafi as they act out relationship cliches.
Greenberg and Thurman are both engaging, but they can't quite compensate for their characters' shallowness. Streep, on the other hand, just can't stop compensating. Her oy-vey-can-you-believe-the-kid-and-his-shiksa performance is all studied mannerisms with no real heart.
Younger, for whatever reason, simply can't abide their happiness, and so he destructs the relationship from time to time for no reason, using plot devices that wouldn't have been out of place in episodes of "Three's Company."
On and on drags this amour fou, with its one-liners, ripostes, elaborate misunderstandings and chastened reaction shots, all courtesy of writer-director Ben Younger, straining to let out his inner femme after the testosterone excesses of "Boiler Room."
I found nothing likable or funny about either of these characters, who both deserve a pie in the face. (One of them even gets it.)
The occasionally amusing, generally fatuous romantic comedy about a dazzling divorcee, a smitten Jewish boy and a controlling Jewish mom who also happens to be the divorcee's psychotherapist, is a high-concept movie with a Yiddish accent.
Prime seems aimed at prime-time television, with endless iterations on the same theme of "frustrated relationship" that will finally get resolved during sweeps week in the season before cancellation. Call it: My Mama, the Shrink.
The film's greatest asset, however, is its unusually authentic use of Manhattan locations: Younger clearly knows New York much better than the topography of the human heart.
Not quite a romance by numbers, Prime is nevertheless a movie we need like a hole in the head.
This has the raw material for a decent rom-com, but the aimless structure and ambiguous tone undermine both humour and romance.
The sheer absurdity of the presented relationship is redeemed by a sort of surprise ending, but by the time it arrives, you wish it had come sooner, as the pain of viewing has already been interminably long.
It has the low-budget look and feel of an indie dating comedy -- and not a very good one at that.

She can do it all. So her character and the plot weren't totally realistic. But who cares. It's a comedy. In fact I'd say it was somewhat in keeping with the screwball comedies of the 40's. Uma Thurman delivered a first rate performance. It was nice to see her in a non-Tarantino film. The woman can act.

No therapist alive would subject themselves to their offspring's sex life. That's just plain yucky (and vaguely incestuous), but at least Uma Thurman manages to deliver a truly quotable line which supplies "Prime" with its one gut-busting moment of humor. Had Rafi been written a little more shrewdly, putting a book in her hands would've made for a stronger contrast with David's Nintendo obsession (and therefore better accentuate the disparity of the couple's age and life experiences). Since Rafi works with models (who are thought to be stereotypically dumb), being the smartest girl in the room at her workplace amongst all those hairdressers, photographers and blondes, would've made for a lot of crowd-pleasing, albeit easy jokes. Unfortunately, nothing funny transpires at Rafi's job. As for David's "job", we need to see him at the canvas to better round out his character. He's obviously more than a shiftless slob who camps out all day on Rafi's couch, but that's all "Prime" wants us to see.… Full Review »

U of MN researchers set new standard of care for adult cord blood transplant patients
Trial results presented at the Annual American Society of Hematology Conference
University of Minnesota researchers will present the promising results from adult umbilical cord blood studies for patients with cancers of the blood and bone marrow. These studies' findings provide solutions to the problems outlined in recently published studies in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).
"The results of our studies are a triumph in a treatment that has been largely viewed as only possible in children and adolescents," said John Wagner, M.D., professor of pediatrics and scientific director of clinical research, Blood and Marrow Transplantation Program and Stem Cell Institute.
A major limitation of adult cord blood transplantation highlighted in the NEJM articles is the high likelihood of patients dying early after transplant. This likelihood is due to: poor recovery of the patient's blood cell counts as a result of the relatively low number of cells in cord blood compared to bone marrow, or toxicity from the high doses of chemotherapy and radiation used in conventional transplant regimens.
The University of Minnesota Blood and Marrow Transplant Program have addressed these issues in two separate studies. In the first study, the combined use of two cord blood units from different donors was investigated as a way to increase the number of cord blood cells given to the patient on transplant day. Thirty-one patients were given high-dose chemotherapy and radiation, in which all the patient's bone marrow is destroyed, and then transplanted with two partially matched umbilical cords. The matching criteria is less stringent in cord blood than bone marrow. All of the patients engrafted successfully with cord blood cells with a low incidence of serious transplant complications and very promising survival compared to the previous studies.
In the second study, a group of 59 patients who were not eligible for high doses of chemotherapy and radiation (due to their older age, extensive prior chemotherapy treatment, or other serious co-existing diseases) were treated with a "reduced intensity" regimen involving lower doses of chemotherapy and radiation. These patients were then transplanted with cord blood from either one or two donors. In this study, 89 percent of the patients engrafted successfully overall with 98 percent of patients engrafting if they had recent chemotherapy before the transplant or a prior transplant. Despite the high-risk nature of this patient group, the risk of life-threatening transplant complications was relatively low even in older patients or those with a prior transplant.
"These remarkable results represent a significant advance in the practice of adult cord blood transplantation. These approaches allow us to offer potentially life-saving transplant therapy to many patients who have previously been denied such treatment," said Juliet Barker, MBBS(Hons), assistant professor of medicine, Adult Blood and Marrow Transplant Program.

Here's a story for you. I sell a few bikes on Ebay mainly to finance other ongoing bike projects. I'm pretty careful about descriptions but I've recently made a sale thats causing a few issues.
I sold a 30 year old Falcon Eddy Merckx Golden Eagle, which was in excellent condition. Nice chrome and paint and bought from an elderly gentleman who had owned it from new. I didn't describe it as serviced, and I would expect any vintage bike buyer to expect an element of ongoing maintenance.
I listed it for collection, no returns, and it made a good price on Ebay £161, more than I was expecting. As it turned out the winning bidder was a long distance away. He said he had been watching several bikes and in his eagerness to place the winning bid, didn't realise it was listed for collection.
As it happened, I had a spare bike box and agreed to post it at cost. I heard nothing for 6 weeks after the sale, but then got a message saying he had been away, and had only just got round to sorting the bike out, but it needed some repairs, He had taken it to his local bike shop and been quoted £60 and therefore wanted £60 refunding.
This £60 is for rear wheel bearings, headset bearings and 2 innertubes. I'd stated the tyres were original and degrading, so he was happy to cover the cost of replacing those.
Now I have the typical Ebay situation of not wanting to get a negative rating, so I made him an offer of £30 to cover the cost of his replacement parts. However he's insisted he needs to cover his total bike shop repair costs.
So, I have a guy that buys a bike but can't collect, does nothing with it for 6 weeks, and then asks for a £60 refund. We've had very good communication, but I'm slightly suspicious. I've now asked him for the name and address of the Bike Shop that's quoted him £60. Just to verify everything is genuine before I refund £60.
He's given me a name and street in London, which despite endless googling, doesn't turn up any bike shop with that name. I've now told him I will agree to the £60 refund but have to confirm the Bike Shop's info.
This is the latest stage. Obviously, I don't want a disappointed buyer but I'm also thinking something doesn't add up. I'm aware that if I can't tie up the Bike Shop details, its probably going to turn a bit unpleasant.
What would you do in these circumstances?

4 Generations of American Women: Great Progress, Persistent Challenges
Multiple generations of women play an active role in our society today. All age groups agree on the need for more female leadership—and yet for women of different cohorts, the word "leadership" can mean very different things. The differences in language, context, cultural references, and sense of history can impede collaboration across generations on gender-equity issues.
How do we speak differently about our goals and aspirations? What is the role that our different places in history plays in how we understand ourselves as women in the workplace and in society? To what extent does being women bring us together or push us apart? How can we better communicate and collaborate? What can the rising generation of aspiring female leaders learn from those further along in their career trajectories – and visa versa?
Please join the Center for American Progress and the National Education Association at noon on May 12 for a panel discussion that will explore these questions from a multi-generational perspective.
Fixing the ForceThe military compensation system urgently needs reforms. Military personnel costs are more than one-third of the Pentagon's total spending. Military retirement costs more than $100 billion each year, but more than four out of five enlisted service members will receive no retirement benefits at all. The military health care system needs modernization, while the current military compensation and career structure is too inflexible to meet the needs of the future force.
From Risk to Resilience: Fortifying U.S. Communities in the Face of Climate Change
Resilience is a concept that has appeared with growing urgency in the lexicon of governments, industry, and the public as climate change has brought sea-level rise, extreme weather events, drought, and flooding to increasingly populated communities. Nationally, these hazards have wrought damage to the tune of $227 billion over the past four years. As these cities and towns seek to maintain their social, economic, and ecological integrity, the science of resilience continues to evolve with the progression of data and innovation.
So how can municipalities manage the unavoidable and avoid the unmanageable? Join the Center for American Progress and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for a discussion about how new data sources, innovation, and risk management combine to make communities stronger and healthier in the long term.
Teacher Leadership: The Pathway to Common Core SuccessThe Common Core State Standards were formed in a state-led effort to set consistent, rigorous standards across states so that all students have the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in college and careers. While the Common Core started as a local, collaborative effort, the standards have become a hot topic of debate in political circles. Through the politicization of the Common Core, the voices of those tasked with the work of implementing the standards—teachers—have been muffled.
Examining U.S.-Israel Relations at a Time of Change in the Middle EastThe U.S.-Israel relationship has been a centerpiece of U.S. Middle East strategy and a main pillar of Israel's national security strategy for decades. But political relations between the two countries during the past six years have seen some turbulence, even as security cooperation deepens and they continue to share common interests and values at a time of change and uncertainty in the Middle East.
On April 22, please join the Center for American Progress, the Center for a New American Security, and the Israel Institute to take stock of where we are at this crucial stage in U.S.-Israel relations, featuring two expert panels. The first panel will discuss the management of U.S.-Israel relations, and the second will focus on the main issues under discussion between the two states.
Sec. Jewell and Sen. Wyden on America's Growing Outdoor Economy
America's national parks, national forests, rivers, oceans, and protected public lands are a powerful engine for growth in the U.S. economy. Outdoor recreation generates $646 billion in consumer spending each year and supports 6.1 million jobs across the country. Increasingly, communities are using outdoor amenities to draw entrepreneurs, recruit workers, attract visitors, and deliver an unmatched quality of life to their residents.
While local economies and business communities see open spaces and public lands as a competitive advantage, the economic benefits of America's outdoors are not always measured in government analyses or accounted for in decision making. As a result, policymakers may be overlooking opportunities to spur job creation and growth in the outdoor economy.
The Center for American is pleased to host a conversation to highlight the growing importance of public lands and waters to recreation and non-recreation businesses. After remarks from our keynote speakers and a moderated Q&A session, a panel of experts will discuss steps the federal government can take to better account for and encourage the growth of the outdoor economy.
Making Progress on Early Childhood Education in States and CommunitiesEarly childhood education is one of the best investments the United States can make in its future workforce. Around the country, states and communities are realizing its benefits and ramping up efforts to expand access to high-quality early childhood programs beginning at birth. Federal investments in Preschool Development Grants and Early Head Start-Child Care Partnerships have helped states make significant strides.
The Economic Impacts of the Affordable Care ActThe United States recently marked the fifth anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. Over the five years since the law passed, our health care system has seen considerable progress, including a dramatic expansion of health insurance coverage, historically slow growth in health care costs, and striking improvements in the quality of patient care.
Injustices: The Supreme Court's History of Comforting the Comfortable and Afflicting the Afflicted
Few American institutions have inflicted greater suffering on ordinary people than the Supreme Court of the United States. As Center for American Progress Senior Fellow Ian Millhiser explains in his new book, Injustices: The Supreme Court's History of Comforting the Comfortable and Afflicting the Afflicted, Supreme Court justices have shaped a nation where children could toil in coal mines, citizens could be forced into internment camps because of their race, and women could be sterilized against their wills by state law. The Court was the midwife of Jim Crow, the right hand of union busters, and the dead hand of the Confederacy. And the modern Court is not a vast improvement, with its incursions on voting rights and its willingness to place elections for sale.
Please join CAP for a conversation between Millhiser and Supreme Court journalist Jeffrey Toobin, as they discuss Injustices and its implications for how progressives should approach the judiciary.
Copies of Injustices will be available for purchase at the event.
Inside the Labyrinth: Undocumented Students in Higher Education
A distinguished panel will discuss the findings of a new report, In the Shadows of the Ivory Tower: Undocumented Undergraduates and the Liminal State of Immigration Reform, focused on the experiences of undocumented students navigating the stressful landscape of current immigration laws, uneven state and university policies, and few campus resources. The panel will present lessons learned from the experiences of students and a potential path forward amidst an uncertain political climate.
'Balancing Act in America's Playground' and 'Our Canyon Lands'Please join the Center for American Progress and the D.C. Environmental Film Festival for a screening of the films "Balancing Act in America's Playground" and "Our Canyon Lands."
Expanding Access to Solar Energy for All American Households
In recent years, electricity generation from renewable resources has surged. Rooftop solar, in particular, is experiencing exponential growth. And it is not just wealthy households that are reaping the benefits of rooftop solar. Research shows that increasing numbers of middle-class households are adopting solar energy, while several states have implemented policies to ensure that low-income communities have access to solar power.
Faced with this competition, some electric utilities and fossil-fuel interests are mounting state-based campaigns to slow or stop the development of renewable energy. These groups argue that solar energy only benefits wealthier Americans at the expense of the poor—a claim that runs counter to the facts. All Americans should be able to choose cleaner energy alternatives, both to protect their interests as consumers and to respond to the threat of climate change.
This event will explore state and federal policy options to ensure equitable access to renewable energy, including initiatives the California State Legislature is pursuing that could serve as a national model.
Expanding Opportunity in America's Urban AreasOur nation's urban centers are the engines of the U.S. economy, and in recent years, more Americans are moving to these communities. Despite the growing popularity of living in urban areas, these communities face a number of ongoing challenges, from housing and transportation to education and workforce accessibility.
Rescheduled: Time to Deliver on Global Commitments to Women and Girls
2015 is a milestone year for the global women's movement. Twenty years ago, the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women marked the beginning of a new era of activism. With her historic remarks, then-first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton helped galvanize a movement when she boldly declared that "human rights are women's rights and women's rights are human rights."
This International Women's Day, The Center for American Progress and Vital Voices Global Partnership are convening leaders from around the world and here at home to consider the progress we have made since 1995, the unfinished business that remains, and the significant opportunity that 2015 holds.
With the current Millennium Development Goals set to expire, major multilateral agreements are expected this year. This makes 2015 an exceptional opportunity to place bold and concrete actions to empower women and girls front and center.

Former Indian captain Kapil Dev feels that it should be left to Sachin Tendulkar to decide when he should retire from international cricket.
"A great player like Sachin knows when he should retire and it is not for me to comment about. The memory of great players lives for a long long time. For instance Sunil Gavaskar is still remembered for his great achievements," Kapil said while interacting with media persons in the Taj city on Tuesday night at the 166th Annual Sports Day of the prestigious St. Peter's College.
Kapil also said that the resumption of Indo-Pak cricket ties is a "a good development", adding: "Please dont bring politics in sports."
Kapil said the India will definitely miss V.V.S. Laxman, Rahul Dravid and Anil Kumble, who recently announced their retirement.
"It will be very difficult to fill the gaps," he said.

Flexible Spread-Spectrum Clock Generators Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is a major challenge for designers of electronic devices. Strict guidelines enforced by the FCC and European Union regulate the amount of EMI a system can generate. Frequency references, whether crystal oscillators or silicon-based PLLs, can be a major source of EMI on circuit boards. Spread spectrum is a technique where the output frequency is modulated slightly to lower the peak energy generated by a clock...

2015 Dogwood Parade Winners [Video]
Another Dogwood Festival is in the history books. We hope everyone had a great weekend, and had a great time at the parade and the festival, despite the slight rain delay for live music on Saturday night.
Another Dogwood Festival is in the history books. We hope everyone had a great weekend, and had a great time at the parade and the festival, despite the slight rain delay for live music on Saturday night.
Dogwoods, Cannibals, and Special Olympians top this weekend's calendar.
With the combination of it being Dogwood Festival weekend and the City of Quincy celebrating it's 175th Anniversary as a charter city, there will be plenty of music to enjoy. The music will be flowing at the Washington Theatre and on Maine Street in Quincy.
May I introduce to you the act I can't wait to see...The Britins, the Complete Beatles Experience!
Quincy's Dogwood Festival is going to be so much fun, with music, the parade and activities in Washington Park!
There was a rousing kickoff for The City of Quincy's 175th anniversary that even included the Quincy Senior High School's Drum Corps who paraded around the Oakley-Lindsay Center. To celebrate the city's 175th birthday, a committee, selected by Mayor Kyle Moore, has prepared a year long list of events.
Here are key dates for some of Quincy's favorite annual events and activities in 2015.
The 2014 Dogwood Festival Block Parties will be held around the City of Quincy on Friday, May 2. If your neighborhood will be holding a block party and would like to be in a drawing for a visit from Y101, make sure you sign up...
American Business Women's Association (ABWA) Dogwood Ball will be held this Saturday, at the Elk's Club in Quincy. The Dogwood Ball is part of this weekend's Dogwood Festival and has not been held since 2006.
As I write this, it's mostly sunny and 83 degrees on Wednesday afternoon.
Don't get used to it.
A drastic cold front will be sweeping across the area and some forecast models indicate the area could get upwards of four inches of rain over the next couple of days...

I've searched on this topic but the only suitable threads I can find are dated 2008 hence my new question.
I'm looking at developing a program using C# .Net 4.0 language. The aim of my program will be to extract EXIF information from jpegs (Manufacturer, Model, Geolocation info etc...) and then populate this into a MySql / Sql server DB.
Can anybody recommend any good libraries that may be suitable for this project? I would be looking for camera serial numbers too (I know this varies from manufacturer to manufacturer) but if anybody knows of any existing libraries that address this, it'd be most helpful.
Thanks and enjoy the weekend

Orange Guard, Inc. was formed by Carmel Valley resident and inventor, Tor McPartland, who was looking for an alternative to conventional insecticides. The inspiration for Orange Guard came from McPartland's desire to find an alternative to these insecticides which have the potential of long-term health and environmental dangers. In 1984, McPartland read an article in Science News, where someone had taken citrus hand cleaner and poured it down a fire ant hill. Every ant was killed. "If you ever look at oranges, you'll notice that the peels are never bitten into by anything," says McPartland. "Orange peel is a natural repellent." Starting in 1985, McPartland spent the next 14 years in research and development efforts, including extensive testing and certification for safety and effectiveness. In May 1998, McPartland introduced his first product to consumers. That product was Orange Guard, a water based indoor/outdoor insecticide that may be used around food, humans and pets. Made from d-Limonene (orange peel extract) and inert ingredients, Orange Guard is EPA-registered and now available to consumers. Works naturally on ants, fire ants, roaches, fleas, silverfish, aphids, spider mites, leaf hoppers, scale insects, and other insect pests.
Active Ingredient: d-Limonene (orange peel extract) 5.8% Inert Ingredients: 94.2%
Indoor Use: Spray from 8" to 12" directly on ants, roaches, palmettos, fleas, silverfish, and other insect pests. Saturate area until visibly wet. Use stream setting on roaches, and for penetrating cracks and crevices.Spray in kitchens, pantries, and under cabinets and appliances - anywhere insects hide. Wait three minutes, then wipe excess with damp sponge or cloth. Apply to pet bedding to control. Outdoor Use: Spray perimeter of home generously to make a barrier of protection.

Best Coffeehouse (2012)
The Queens Kickshaw
Fighting with NYU students for a table at Think will do if you're desperate for a caffeine fix, but it's refreshing to enjoy a cup of something out of the ordinary in an unexpected place. Yes, you're going to have a bit of a trek to try our pick for best coffeehouse, but its rustic charm and the aficionados behind the bar are worth it. Husband-and-wife team Ben Sandler and Jennifer Lim opened the Queens Kickshaw in Astoria last year, an all-in-one café/restaurant/canteen. Early birds behind laptops sip brews made with beans from local outfit Coffee Labs Roasters. At noon, a lunch crowd files into the brick-walled space, and in the evening, locals gather around the bar for dinner and spend the rest of the night drinking craft beer. But back to the coffee: Lim suggests starting with an espresso drink, though if you're in an adventurous mood, they've been experimenting with their version of an espresso soda, a shot of espresso with seltzer water. Priciest—though actually a steal at $4.50—is the Mast Bros. mocha, with hints of honey and lemon. If you can't get enough of its brew, the Kickshaw sells iced coffee in 32- and 64-ounce growlers to go. 40-17 Broadway, Queens, 718-777-0913, thequeenskickshaw.com (11103)

So. . . anyone think that Mora is more into tentacle romance rather than tentacle rape?
That he's the sort to wine and dine before putting on the Barry White?
That he's the sort to wine and dine before putting on the Barry White?
and then there will be tentacle porn
I'm sad that there are only two volumes in Skyrim. I bet Mora took all the rest
This is great!
the creepiest thing about his realm is.....is eyes are EVERYWHERE. any where near the black water crap his eyes can come up and stare at you. they even come out of the sky if you are in a high up place.
"M-m-my lord Mora, why are you reading that?"
lol it would be great if you caught him reading that at one time or another.
the implication of oppening a black book after that scare me senseless. As his tentacles reach around your neck and drag you in his library to "curl up with a good book"
i searched one of the seekers, and it had one of those..
Wow, wonderful!
lol XD
Just. Perfect. But does he have LAM V2 and the Sultry Argonian Bard?
