1)Comrade Obama Secretly Negotiates to Give Away SEVEN Alaskan (resource rich) Islands to Russia (April 8, 2012)
2) Obamas giveaway: Oil-rich islands to Russia
The Obama administration, despite the nations economic woes, effectively killed the job-producing Keystone Pipeline last month. The Arab Spring is turning the oil production of Libya and other Arab nations over to the Muslim Brotherhood. Iraq is distancing itself from the U.S. And everyone recognizes that Iran, whose crude supplies are critical to the European economy, will do anything it can to frustrate Americas strategic interests. In the face of all of this, Obama insists on cutting back U.S. oil potential with outrageous restrictions.
Part of Obamas apparent war against U.S. energy independence includes a foreign-aid program that directly threatens my states [Alaska] sovereign territory. Obamas State Department is giving away seven strategic, resource-laden Alaskan islands to the Russians. Yes, to the Putin regime in the Kremlin.
The seven endangered islands in the Arctic Ocean and Bering Sea include one the size of Rhode Island and Delaware combined. The Russians are also to get the tens of thousands of square miles of oil-rich seabeds surrounding the islands. The Department of Interior estimates billions of barrels of oil are at stake.
The State Department has undertaken the giveaway in the guise of a maritime boundary agreement between Alaska and Siberia. Astoundingly, our federal government itself drew the line to put these seven Alaskan islands on the Russian side. But as an executive agreement, it could be reversed with the stroke of a pen by President Obama or Secretary Clinton.The agreement was negotiated in total secrecy. The state of Alaska was not allowed to participate in the negotiations, nor was the public given any opportunity for comment. This is despite the fact the Alaska Legislature has passed resolutions of opposition but the State Department doesnt seem to care.
The imperiled Arctic Ocean islands include Wrangel, Bennett, Jeannette and Henrietta. Wrangel became American in 1881 with the landing of the U.S. Revenue Marine ship Thomas Corwin. The landing party included the famed naturalist John Muir. It is 3,000 square miles in size.
Northwest of Wrangel are the DeLong Islands, named for George Washington DeLong, the captain of USS Jeannette. Also in 1881, he discovered and claimed these three islands for the United States. He named them for the voyage co-sponsor, New York City newspaper publisher James Gordon Bennett. The ships crew received a heros welcome back in Washington, and Congress awarded them gold medals.
In the Bering Sea at the far west end of the Aleutian chain are Copper Island, Sea Lion Rock and Sea Otter Rock. They were ceded to the U.S. in Sewards 1867 treaty with Russia.
Now is the time for the Obama administration to stand up for U.S. and Alaskan rights and invaluable resources. The State Departments maritime agreement is a loser it gives us nothing in return for giving up Alaskas sovereign territory and invaluable resources. We won the Cold War and should start acting like it.
The Obama administration must stop the giveaway immediately.Authors addendum, Feb. 17, 2012: This is not a new issue. In fact the Bush and Clinton administrations are directly at fault for the same inaction. A maritime agreement negotiated by the U.S. State Department set the Russian boundary on the other side of the disputed islands, but no treaty has ratified this action. Consequently, it is within the presidents power to stop this giveaway. The Alaska delegations failure to put pressure on the administration is inexplicable. State Department Watch, an organization that assisted with this article, has confronted each administration and is currently confronting the Obama administration and has been met by silence. Im hoping this piece will help reinvigorate efforts to stop this handover

Progressive Care
The Progressive Care (Telemetry) units at Banner Boswell help ease a patient's transition from Intensive Care or Surgery to recovery.
If a patient is moved to a Progressive Care unit it means their physicians and other caregivers have decided they are progressing well.
Progressive-care patients require less additional oxygen, are usually eating and can increase their activity levels. They no longer need intensive bedside monitoring and one-on-one nursing (provided while in Intensive Care).
While in this unit, each patient will learn about medications, diet, physical activity limitations and instructions to follow at home. In most cases, when patients leave the Progressive Care Unit, they will be going home and may be referred to a rehabilitation center or an outpatient care program.

Okay, this isn't a SPAMing thread, it's where we can discuss Eevee.
Will we move onto the topics then?
So what Evolution of Eevee is your favourite?
If Eevee gets an evolution in the next generation, (assuming there will be one) what type do you want it to be?
What evolution of Eevee is my favourite? My favourite evolution would have to be Espeon, it just looks so glorius and magnificant, it has an alright movepool and decent stats. I also love Vaporeon, because it was from the original generation (along with Jolteon and Flareon, but I don't like them, so I'm not going to throw them in) and the amount of hit points it had was amazing. I'm also a fan of the shiny version of Umbreon, it's the best shiny ever created, in my opinion.
What Type do I want the evolution of Eevee to be in the next generation? That's saying there'll be an Eevee evolution introduced, which I doubt. I don't want a new Eevee evolution, as making one or two just aren't going to work out. Hell, Leafeon was bad enough, can you imagine a Ghost-Type Eevee evolution?

As Catherine of Aragon on The Tudors, Maria Doyle Kennedy (above) patiently endured being divorced by Henry VIII. In Downton Abbey, as Mrs. Bates, she's abandoned again, but this time avenges herself so diabolically that she's been labeled the most hated woman in Britain. The Irish actress is husband free at last in her new project, BBC America's 10-episode Orphan Black (debuting March 30). Kennedy says her character—Mrs. S., a foster mother—is "tough but fair and quite loving underneath it all." But more meanies may be in her future. "I like people who are complex," she says. "It's so much fun to be bad without the real-life consequences of your actions."

A royal flop
Intriguing story carries too much dead weight
By Tim Pompey 03/14/2013
Directed by Peter Webber
Starring: Matthew Fox, Tommy Lee Jones, Eriko Hatsune
1 hr. 46 mins.
This is a film that should have been great. An intriguing story line, excellent cast and a good director. Funny how you can have all the odds in your favor and still manage to miss.
Part of the problem is that the story gets split into two parts: one involving diplomacy and the other about lost love. The first story offers a lot of talk but eventually becomes compelling. The second feels like that gear-grinding noise you get when you don't push the clutch in far enough.
I also think the film suffers from a Western attempt to explain the so-called mindset of the Japanese soldier. But even after a boatload of explanation, the story can't seem to get past its own stereotypical thinking about the devotion of the warrior and the demureness of the geisha.
The backdrop to all this is the time period immediately after the atomic bombs were dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, and the Japanese surrendered to Gen. Douglas MacArthur (Tommy Lee Jones). MacArthur is being pressured by Washington to bring Emperor Hirohito to trial, perhaps even put him to death.
It turns out that MacArthur has a different take. He wants to avoid sparking a revolt. He would also like to restore Japan; more to the point, he would like people to know that he was responsible for restoring Japan. But in order to navigate some perilous political waters, he has to answer one important question: Was the emperor in any way responsible for declaring war on the United States?
To get an answer, he assigns Gen. Bonner Fellers (Matthew Fox) to do the research. Fellers, who spent time in Japan before the war, is considered by MacArthur to be his top Japanese expert.
What MacArthur doesn't know is that Fellers is also in love with a Japanese woman named Aya Shimada (Eriko Hatsune), whom he met in college in the U.S. Fellers assumes his role with a double motive — to get as close as he can to Hirohito and to find Aya, hopefully alive.
If pulling these two tales together sounds like a stretch, it is. It needs to be handled as if both stories are part of a single whole. Instead, director Peter Webber (from Girl With the Pearl Earring) and his writers use the love story as a backdrop, and the political story as a diplomatic workshop. Only toward the end does the plot start to take on the tension it deserves throughout.
What's most disappointing is that Aya, the woman who pushed against her own culture and bravely came to the U.S. as a transfer student, is portrayed as a Suzy Milquetoast in need of protection. We've seen this before. Quiet Japanese woman. Tough American male. Somehow, her portrayal seems out of balance. Only toward the end, when Fellers reads the letters she left for him, do we get a sense of her real strength and courage.
Emperor does offer some interesting insights into Japanese culture, but they come slowly as Fox engages in lengthy conversations with the emperor's diplomats and learns about the complicated relationship in Japan among loyalty, politics and personal ambition.
This historical drama has its moments, particularly with Jones as the egotistical MacArthur. Credit as well an excellent cast of Japanese actors, including Masayoshi Haneda, Masatô Ibu and, even in his brief appearance, Takatarô Kataoka as the spitting image of the real Emperor.
If you're interested in an important slice of Japanese American history, you might want to catch this film. As a drama and love story, however, it only works in fits and starts. There is a much better story behind this waiting to be told, perhaps by a Japanese director. But unfortunately, in this film, what should have been a battleship; turns out to be a mere tugboat.

Back in my naive days of theming, I had to make it so the link inserted by
<!--more--> wouldn't dump the viewer at the anchor it produces.
I made a dinky plugin that consisted of:
function No_More_Link($buffer) {
$inHTML[0] = '/#more-\d+/';
$outHTML[0] = '';
return preg_replace($inHTML, $outHTML, $buffer);
Years later, I thought I could do much better, by using a filter in the theme's
functions.php file:
function no_more_link ( $input ) {
return preg_replace( '/#more-\d+/', '', $input );
add_filter( 'get_permalink', 'no_more_link' );
This doesn't work. I've tried bumping up the priority to ridiculous levels.
Am I applying the filter to the wrong thing? What am I missing here?

Tim Tebow to Orlando Predators? Yes. Sort of…
Tim Tebow is taking his talents to the Orlando Predators for one night. But don't worry Denver Broncos fans, he's only working out his thumbs for a coin toss.
Tim Tebow is scheduled to be the guest of honor at the Orlando Predators 2011 home opener March 26 at Amway Center. The Predators home opener also coincides with faith and family night.
The faith and family night program will include a relaxed Q&A style that features Tim Tebow, Predators QB Nick Hill, Predators LB/FB Marlon Moye-Moore and former Orlando Predator Herkie Walls according to the team's press release. If you'll recall, Herkie Walls is a pastor at Eastside Baptist Church and conducted the memorial service for Caylee Anthony, daughter of Casey Anthony.
Everyone with a Predators ticket can participate in the family and faith night. Doors to the Amway Center open at 5 p.m. and a portion of the proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the Tim Tebow Foundation, dedicated to bring faith, hope and love to those needing a brighter day in their darkest hour.
Maybe Tim Tebow could extend a little of that faith to the NFL labor negotiations? Seriously, though. Countless jobs — outside of NFL players — are relying on this negotiation to work.
I spoke briefly with Tim Tebow about his faith during ESPN the Weekend. Check out the video for his responses to how his faith is received in the locker room and his take on the BYU suspension of center Brandon Davies.

You only need to open your inbox first thing in the morning to see that a crisis of e-mail overload is wreaking havoc with your time, attention, productivity and even peace of mind. Most people don't have a good system in place for processing incoming messages quickly and easily. Instead, e-mails languish, gathering dust (and guilt), waiting to be dealt with. To tame your inbox and save your sanity, try these four time management tips from the book E-Mail In An Instant: 60 Ways To Communicate With Style and Impact.
*Apply the five-minute rule: Some items that pop up in your inbox require or inspire you to take immediate action. If the message you see can be handled easily and quickly (say within five minutes), do it now. Once done, delete the item or move it to the appropriate folder for storage.
*Be daring and delete: If an e-mail sits in your inbox waiting to be worked on for days, weeks or even months, you may be putting off the completion of the item for several reasons, including: It is too big to handle as is and needs to be broken down into bite-size chunks; the item is not clearly defined enough for you to act on; it is something you don't really want, need or intend to do. If this last reason fits, there is no shame in hitting the delete button and saying so long to that message muddling up your inbox.
*Hand it over: Just because you received the e-mail message does not mean you have to be the one to execute it. A great strategy for clearing out your inbox is to transfer it to someone else's. Considerations, of course, need to be given to the other person's availability, ability and willingness, but the option of passing on a piece of the work to someone else is a real one. Ask yourself if you really need to be the one to handle an item.
*Put off today what you want to do tomorrow: Many items in your inbox are good ideas you would like to follow up on — just not now. Instead of letting the someday item sit in your active inbox file, create a "to-do," "pending" or "someday" folder where you can keep tabs on messages you may want to take action on at some point in the future.
The key is to immediately clear the item out of your inbox and move it to another file where you can easily retrieve it when you are ready to work on it. Ask yourself, is it essential or important that this be done today, or can it wait? Would there be any serious negative consequences if I delayed doing this item?
If all else fails and you're facing a case of e-mail overload emergency, use the seven-minute save. Open your e-mail inbox and then set your watch, alarm clock, computer or iPhone on a seven-minute timer. Now, starting from the top (the latest e-mail), go through and see how many items you can get completed and moved out of your mailbox using the four strategies above. You may not achieve e-mail management perfection in those seven minutes — but you're certain to make progress.

An Introduction to catalogUSMAI
Run time: 7:30 | Transcript | Last updated: 11/23/2013
Welcome to catalogUSMAI.
The University System of Maryland and Affiliated Institutions, U-S-M-A-I, consists of 16 institutions located in the state of Maryland.
Catalog USMAI is the online library catalog of the libraries of the U-S-M-A-I institutions.
Catalog USMAI contains records of items available in the U-S-M-A-I libraries, including books, journals, government documents, maps, videos, and more. There are links in the catalog to online materials such as government documents, as well as to "Find It", which will provide you with a list of helpful links such as e-books and full-text journals, and services such as book reviews and reference help.
A link to catalogUSMAI can be found on the Information and Library Services Web site.
A record in catalogUSMAI contains information such as author, title, location, and subject headings.
Common ways to search the catalog include keyword searches, title searches, and author searches. A keyword search allows you to search several parts of a record at once, including author, title and subject headings.
A keyword should be a word that is essential to what you are looking for. It can be a word from your research topic or in some cases a title word or even an author's name. In this example, we can select management and cross-cultural.
To do a keyword search, first select word/s anywhere . Next, enter a keyword or a phrase into the text box on the basic search page. If you have several keywords or keyword phrases, combine them using the word AND or the word OR. Next, click search.

- Achieves Improvements in Key Metrics -
WESTFIELD, New Jersey (May 14, 2013) – Digital Cinema Destinations Corp. (NasdaqCM: DCIN) (Digiplex), a fast-growing motion picture exhibitor dedicated to transforming movie theaters into digital entertainment centers, today reported its fiscal 2013 third quarter financial results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013.
DATE/TIME: Today, 5/14/13 at 4:30 p.m. ET
TELEPHONE:800/707-8454. Please call at least five minutes in advanceto be connected.
WEBCAST: live webcast is available through the Investor Relations section of Digiplex's website at www.digiplexdest.com. A webcast replay will be available and accessible for at least 30 days following the live event.
Theater level cash flow and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of these metrics to the net loss for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 are included in the supplementary tables accompanying this news announcement. These metrics as shown above are net of Start Media's share of these items.
Digiplex Chairman and CEO Bud Mayo stated, "Our organization's top priority continues to be achieving disciplined screen growth as we focus on ultimately expanding Digiplex's footprint to the 100 location/1000 screen goal we set as a corporate milestone. In fiscal Q3 we added two additional theaters with an aggregate of 19 screens in Solon, OH and Sparta, NJ, raising screen count 12% sequentially. It often takes a few quarters to get new locations up-and-running on Digiplex's comprehensive digital platform.
"Once fully integrated, we focus on further enhancing attendance and theater level cash flow through a disciplined strategy that encompasses offering a wide array of alternative content, including our own curated DigiNext titles. We also deploy a full complement of social media and targeted marketing in order to generate a two-way dialog with both existing and new patrons, driving additional traffic to our theaters.
"In early April, we hosted a ribbon-cutting for the Solon location, highlighting completion of the digital conversion and some additional cosmetic enhancements. Within the 16-plex, we rebranded four of the auditoriums as the Arts Center 4, which is a 'theater within the theater.' These auditoriums offer a unique blend of alternative programming, one of our key differentiators, as we stay on the cutting-edge of digital cinema presentation, offering our valued patrons a true 'peek at the future of theatrical exhibition,' "Looking ahead, we maintain a robust and active pipeline of potential theater acquisition candidates, and we have the capacity and liquidity to grow utilizing additional capital from our Start Media JV as well as the new shelf offering, which was filed subsequent to quarter-end," concluded Mr. Mayo.

(1) TLCF is intended to be a measure of theater profitability. Therefore, our corporate general and administrative expenses have been excluded.
(2) Represents the fair value of shares of Class A common stock and restricted stock awards issued to employees and non-employees for services rendered. As these are non-cash charges, we believe that it is appropriate to show Adjusted EBITDA excluding this item. The increase from the prior year is due to the magnitude of the Lisbon and UltraStar acquisitions.
(3) Primarily represents professional fees incurred in connection with start-up activities, the creation of acquisition template documents that will be used by us for future transactions, and certain other costs related to our acquisition strategy. While we intend to acquire additional theaters, we have laid the groundwork for our acquisition program and we expect to incur reduced legal fees in connection with future acquisitions. We therefore believe that it is appropriate to exclude these items from Adjusted EBITDA.
(4) To add back management fees to Digiplex from JV.

Gastronomes of fine food and handcrafted beer are invited this Friday June 14, to The Snowpine Lodge in Little Cottonwood Canyon, as they host an Epic Beer Pairing Dinner.
Epic Brewing Company's Ty Eldridge will present offerings from the local award winning brewery, while Chef Nate Nagy prepares five courses of delectable seasonal faire. Pairings include oysters and belgian, braised pork and pale, monkfish and red, lamb and brown, with a chocolate and cheese fifth course.
Native New Hampshirite Chef Nagy has worked under renowned chef Todd English at his famous Olives Restaurant, and as head chef at English's Argentinian inspired steakhouse, Bonfire. He's also spent time at "Best of Boston" seafood restaurant, Neptune Oyster.
Nagy's passion for food is matched by his passion for skiing; he moved west in 2012 after several years of Alta ski vacations finally got under his skin. His timing was perfect- the lodge had just been purchased by an East Coast family, and new management was looking for a spectacular chef to augment the vacationer experience. Nagy has been considered to be the perfect choice by management, as their first ski season together ended to rave reviews.
"The inspiration for this event came from Nate's desire to become an active member of the exciting local food scene in Utah," says Robin Cohen, Director of Sales and Marketing at the Lodge. "Epic's award winning beers are a great match for Nate's food."
Event packages including the dinner and a nights stay in a charming lodge room are available. Room views overlook the majestic beauty of Alta.
Limited space is available for this event. Call 801-742-2000 for reservations. To see a complete menu, visit thesnowpinelodge.com.

You know the one where on the right side of Cinnabar if you surf on the coast the game programers forgot to put in the pokemon for that strip so the default is the place you where last. Well has any of you ever thought to do that for the SAFFARI ZONE. Yes you can just go to the saffari zone part where Chansey is and then ditch out and fly to Cinnabar and surf on the coast. Saffari zone pokemon will appear and they won't run away and shit its a real wild battle. That makes catching Chansey like 100 times easier when you see the motherfucker. Just status and bring down HP and its yours. Of course the motherfucking bitch still is rare but when you do find it you don't waste like 10 pokeballs on it and the things runs away anyway.

Lucky couples and singles alike packed the room at Town Hall in New York City Friday night for a triple threat of performers. Starting the show were up and coming local talents, Chris Turner and Jennah Bell who performed a spine-tingling bluesy/folk inspired set together. And the minute the incomparable Gregory Porter reached the stage, he was greeted with a standing ovation.
The jovial singer engaged the audience with jokes sprinkled throughout the set, stories about his mother, and mounds of praise and appreciation for all the love in the room that night. The vocals were no less than what you'd hope for – strong, deep, and steeped in emotion and vulnerability. The set spanned music from all three of his albums, including popular songs "1960 What?," "Liquid Spirit," and "Be Good (Lion's Song)."

i've been playing around with the 20 round thermelt and 30 round thermelt mags i got from SMG a while back.
the 20s seem to be OK in 5.56 with up to 20 rounds. but a little better feeling when they only have 17 rounds or so.
the 20 round thermelts seem to work perfectly well with 12-17 rounds of 5.45x39 depending on the mag. this is enough to make the 5.54x39 ar a practical all around firearm. as cheap as you can get these thermelts for --like $3.65 a mag -- even loaded to 10 rounds you can sure have a lot of loaded mags for cheap.
and another oddity is the 30 round thermelt mag that i had gave up on using in 5.56 --seems to work very well (so far)with 5.45x39 up to about 27 rounds.
i figure it will be as good as a c-mag 5.45 --maybe even better with 24-25 rounds of 5.45
this thermelt 30 has not worked worth a hoot with 5.56/223 that it is designed for--so go figure?--LOL
this thermelt does have a green USGI follower i put in there in an attempt to get it to run 5.56 rounds-- don't know if the USGI green follower helps or hurts the thermelt with 5.45 it does seem to run OK with 5.45 under 30 rounds.
so far--
if it continues to run of with 5.45 with no hiccups i'll report the results.

Thirty years before Sacha Baron Cohen cat-walked the thin line between documentary and fiction in the name of comedy, the great radical filmmaker Robert Kramer — with co-director John Douglas — interwove the two modes to deliver his 1975 masterpiece Milestones, in the name of the revolutionary ideals of the late 1960′s. Showing as part of his eight-title retrospective this weekend at Anthology Film Archives (New York, NY), "Milestones is as carefully arranged as a piece of music. …[U]sing images, emotions and, most frequently, words as themes, it bursts with unexpected life." (Vincent Canby, New York Times).
"The Films of Robert Kramer" runs July 17–23 at Anthology Film Archives.

More than 2,500 people per year, about seven people every day, die from prescription painkiller abuse in the state of Florida.
The state has a national reputation for lax oversight of pain pill distribution. In an effort to turn that reputation around, state lawmakers enacted a prescription drugs law, creating tough regulations for doctors. So tough, some doctors have stopped prescribing narcotics all together.
The law took effect July 1st, mandating stricter rules for doctors who prescribe and dispense pain medication, requiring them to register and file a number of forms and obtain pain clinic credentials. Some doctors opted not to do that, leaving many patients who truly need the prescription medicine jumping through hoops to deal with their pain.
Mary Lou Lyles and her husband Stefan take prescribed controlled substances every day.
"If we can't get our prescriptions, we would end up in the hospital," said Mary Lou. She suffers from depression, anxiety disorder and PTSD. When she moved to Defuniak Springs from Oregon five years ago, she spent months searching for the right doctor.
"We finally found after numerous times, a great doctor, Niceville family practice, who was willing to prescribe our medications that me and my husband both need in order to stay healthy," said Mary Lou Lyles.
But a few months ago, the Lyles learned they'd have to begin that search again. Dr. Marianna Post at Niceville Clinic would no longer prescribe them their medication It was a choice Dr. Post made after learning about the new state regulations. She has referred more than one-hundred patients to clinics.
"Generally, it was kind of very vague what we need to do as a pain clinic, what would be the rules and so we decided not to go along as a pain clinic," said Dr. Post.
Under the new law, physicians who prescribe controlled substances for chronic, nonmalignant pain, have to label themselves as pain specialists.
"Why would I need to register for a pain clinic if I'm not a pain specialist?," said Dr. Post.
Post says it's a fear common amongst physicians.
"There are very few doctors who are actually willing to prescribe narcotics because it's been so hard on doctors. There have been a lot of doctors who have been accused and sued for prescribing narcotics so a lot of doctors are actually afraid to do so," said Post.
But in the end, it leaves patients struggling to deal with their pain.
"They're going from doctor to doctor to doctor and unable to get any help. And for us, it's been very frustrating because I need to tell those patients, I'm sorry I can't help. I can refer you to a pain specialist but I'm not sure pain specialist is going to give you your medication," said Dr. Post.
Many were caught off-guard by the transition and have gone long periods of time without their medicine. Mary Lou considers herself lucky; she went only four days without her medication. But she says lawmakers need to take a second look.
"The people that put this law into place, they might have had good intentions but they did not look into the whole picture. There are other people that take medications that are controlled substances that need them in order to survive and do well in this world," said Mary Lou Lyles.
Dr. Post can still prescribe narcotics to cancer and rheumatoid arthritis patients but must refer anyone else to a pain specialist.
We wanted to ask Attorney General Pam Bondi whether the law has gone too far, but she declined our request for an interview.

Is there any way to convert the hdmi signal from a vip reciever to rg6 coax?
If the answer is yes, will the signal still be HD when it gets to my LCD?
I have patio that has a RG6 cable drop. I would like to put an LCD out there. I would like to use the HDMI out on my vip211, convert it to RG6 and then hook to the LCD on the patio. Obviously it would be a mirrored image of the LCD that the 211 is currently hooked up too.

HDMI to coax baluns/extenders do exist - but be prepared to pay $400+. Just search Google. It might be cheaper to pay someone to fish an HDMI out there for your though.
Posted 05 August 2012 - 09:01 AM
If you think of what you're asking... what you are asking for is something to take the HDMI output and re-encode it to MPEG4, or MPEG2, or whatever so that the other device can re decode it... you basically need a mini-computer to do that... which is why such devices exist but are fairly expensive.

or just go buy a wireless hdmi sender
i use one that i got from best buy
cost me 249 bucks
and works great out side.
i run it from the second hdmi jack from my av receiver to the outside projector on a 70 inch black diamond screen works awesome

I forgot about those... still a chunk of change, but better than the coax converter and no need to run any new cable for wireless.

Posted 05 August 2012 - 12:23 PM
Wireless HDMI. Great idea! That will work and it's why I come here and ask questions.
Posted 08 August 2012 - 11:54 AM
Just be careful which one you purchase and make sure you can return it if it doesn't meet your expectations. Typically these run at 5 Ghz and some run at 60 Ghz. At 60 Ghz you will not be going through any walls and these are mainly for the connections in the same room. At 5 Ghz you can get through one wall but multiple walls could be a problem.

The other option would be to upgrade the 211 to a Hopper and Joey which can send an HD signal over RG6 coax and give you HDMI at the remote location.

Release Notes for Cisco SN 5428-2 Storage Router, Release 3.5.4
September 19, 2005
These release notes support Cisco SN 5428-2 Storage Router software release 3.5.4.
For a list of software caveats that apply to Release 3.5.4, see the "Caveats" section. The caveats are updated for every maintenance release and are located on Cisco.com and the Documentation CD-ROM.
These release notes describe the following topics:
•Limitations and Restrictions on SN 5428-2 Storage Router Clusters
•Cisco Product Security Overview
•Obtaining Technical Assistance
•Obtaining Additional Publications and Information
The Cisco SN 5428-2 Storage Router provides universal access to storage over IP networks. The storage router software controls the operation of the Cisco SN 5428-2 Storage Router. You can configure the software to provide the following types of access to storage over IP networks:
•SCSI routing only
•Transparent SCSI routing only
•FCIP only
•SCSI routing and FCIP
•Transparent SCSI routing and FCIP
SCSI routing provides IP hosts with access to Fibre Channel (FC) storage devices, using iSCSI protocol. The iSCSI protocol is an IETF-defined protocol for IP storage (ips).
Note For more information about the iSCSI protocol, refer to the IETF standards for IP storage at http://www.ietf.org.
With SCSI routing, storage device access is managed primarily in the SN 5428-2. (See Figure 1.)
Figure 1 SCSI Routing
Transparent SCSI routing provides IP hosts with transparent access to intelligent storage arrays using iSCSI protocol; that is, each IP host is presented as an FC host to an intelligent storage array. With transparent SCSI routing, availability of storage devices is managed primarily in the intelligent storage array. (See Figure 2.)
Figure 2 Transparent SCSI Routing
Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) enables SN 5428-2 Storage Routers to provide connectivity by tunneling through an IP network between storage area networks (SANs). (See Figure 3.)
Figure 3 FCIP
In addition to providing services for accessing storage over IP networks, the SN 5428-2 Storage Router software provides the following services:
•VLAN Access Control—provides IP access control to storage based on a VLAN identifier (VID) number (in addition to access control through access lists)
•Authentication—provides iSCSI, Enable and Login authentication using AAA authentication methods
•High Availability (HA)—provides the ability to group storage routers in a cluster for intelligent failover and other cluster-related functions (for SCSI routing only)
•E_Port with FC Fabric Zoning—provides the ability to connect FC ports to FC switches and participate in fabric zoning, manage zoning, and support zone mergers
•SNMP/MIB support—provides network management of the SN 5428-2 through SNMP using selected MIBs
•Gigabit Ethernet Interface features—provides the ability to assign a management IP address per Gigabit Ethernet interface, multiple IP addresses per SCSI routing instance, and an optional secondary Gigabit Ethernet interface per IP address used for SCSI routing or SN 5428-2 management. When the SN 5428-2 is deployed for FCIP, provides primary and optional secondary Gigabit Ethernet interfaces to the FCIP peer.
•FCIP data compression—enables the SN 5428-2 to dynamically compress FCIP data traffic for better channel bandwidth utilization
•FCIP SACK support—uses selective acknowledgement (SACK) to overcome the limitations of recovering from multiple lost packets during a TCP transmission for FCIP instances configured as TCP clients or servers
•Buffer credit extension—enables the SN 5428-2 to donate buffer credits from a donor port to selected FC ports
•Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) support—provides HTTPS connection for secure access through the web-based GUI
•Secure Shell (SSH) protocol version 2 support—provides high encryption and authentication for interactive management sessions, and is a common replacement for Telnet
•Routing Information Protocol (RIP) listening support—allows the SN 5428-2 to learn dynamic routing using RIP (version 1 or version 2) listening
•Service Location Protocol (SLP) support—provides the ability to advertise targets of specified SCSI routing instances to initiators or servers that use SLP
•Internet Storage Name Service (iSNS) support—provides the ability to register iSCSI targets with an iSNS server, allowing iSCSI initiators to dynamically discover available storage targets
•LUN Trespass feature—provides a LUN failover feature for selected storage arrays that operate on the active/passive port model. When enabled, the trespass feature provides a redundant path from the storage router to the storage array by allowing the storage router to detect a path failure to a storage array port and perform the necessary operations to fail LUNs over to the other port on the storage array without using any multi-path software. See the "LUN Trespass Feature" section for details about storage array interoperability.
•TCP Window Tuning—provides the ability to maximize bandwidth across the network by automatically setting the local TCP receive window size to the remote TCP receive window size without user intervention
•A command-line interface (CLI) and a web-based GUI—provides user interfaces for configuration and maintenance of an SN 5428-2
System Requirements
This section describes the system requirements for release 3.5.4 and includes the following information:
Network Equipment
•The Gigabit Ethernet interfaces on the SN 5428-2 Storage Router use a flow control mechanism for stopping and starting traffic that prevents the loss of data. Flow control should also be turned on at the router's Gigabit Ethernet interfaces where the SN 5428-2 Storage Router is connected.
•If the SN 5428-2 Storage Router is participating in a cluster (SCSI routing only), and the HA or management interfaces are plugged into a switch that has Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) enabled, the storage router should be considered as an end station and the affected ports on the switch should be configured appropriately. For example, set "portfast" on Cisco switches to cause the ports to immediately switch from blocking mode to forwarding mode. This helps prevent time-outs, which can cause unexpected behavior when storage routers join a cluster.
IP Hosts
To ensure the best performance for the SN 5428-2 Storage Router and the iSCSI drivers, the extended windowing feature of TCP and the receive and transmit flow control feature of the Gigabit Ethernet driver should be enabled on all IP hosts connecting to the SN 5428-2. On the SN 5428-2 Storage Router, you can use the CLI show scsirouter all connection tcp command to display the current and maximum TCP window size for each connected host.
Graphical User Interface
Browser Platform

Upgrading to a New Software Release
For information about upgrading to new storage router software using the CLI, see the section "Installing Updated Software" in Chapter 11, "Maintaining and Managing the SN 5428-2 Storage Router," of the Cisco SN 5428-2 Storage Router Software Configuration Guide, Release 3.5.
To upgrade to new storage router software using the web-based GUI, follow these instructions.
Step 1 In the web-based GUI, log in as "admin". To access the GUI, enter the URL for the storage router. (Point your browser to the storage router management interface IP address using the HTTP protocol.) For example, type http://10.1.10.244.
Step 2 Click Maintenance to view information about the software versions currently available to the storage router. If multiple versions of software are available, delete all versions except the currently running version.
Step 3 (Optional) Based on your storage router configuration, click the appropriate link in the Upgrade section of the Maintenance dynamic menu list in the left frame to download a list of currently available software versions. Use this list to determine the software version you want to download.
Step 4 Click the appropriate link in the Upgrade section of the Maintenance dynamic menu list to download the desired version of software.
Step 5 After you have downloaded the new version of software, click Reset in the System section of the Maintenance dynamic menu list.
Step 6 At Select next boot version, select the new software version. If you have made configuration changes to the storage router that have not been saved, click the Save unsaved changes? checkbox to save any configuration changes that have been made but not saved to the storage router's bootable configuration
Step 7 Click Reset System.
Step 8 After the storage router has rebooted, verify that it is running the new software. (See the "Determining the Storage Router Software Version" section.)
If the storage router is deployed for transparent SCSI routing, the upgrade to version 3.5.4 from any version prior to 3.3.1 places the storage router in dynamic mode. Dynamic mode resets iSCSI client-to-FC WWPN bindings upon reboots or iSCSI logouts, and requires an intelligent storage array that supports an extended iSCSI FC PLOGI frame. To change the mode of an existing transparent SCSI routing deployment, you must completely clear the storage router configuration. When the storage router reboots, follow the prompts from the initial configuration script to complete the new system configuration and select the desired mode for transparent SCSI routing.
For more information about clearing the storage router configuration, see the section "Resetting the System" in Chapter 11, "Maintaining and Managing the SN 5428-2 Storage Router," of the Cisco SN 5428-2 Storage Router Software Configuration Guide, Release 3.5.
For more information about static and dynamic modes for transparent SCSI routing, see the section "Summary of Configuration Process" in Chapter 7, "Configuring Transparent SCSI Routing," of the Cisco SN 5428-2 Storage Router Software Configuration Guide, Release.3.5.
Uninstalling an Upgrade
Note Software versions prior to 3.3.1 do not support the static mode for transparent SCSI routing.
To return to a previous SN 5428-2 software release, and remove the updated SN 5428-2 software using the CLI, follow these instructions:

Limitations and Restrictions on SN 5428-2 Storage Router Clusters
This release includes the following restrictions on storage router clusters:
•A cluster can be composed of up to two SN 5428-2 Storage Routers, or one SN 5428-2 and one SN 5428 Storage Router.
•A cluster can support up to 12 SCSI routing instances.
•A cluster can support up to 100 iSCSI targets.
Caveats describe unexpected behavior or defects in the specified SN 5428-2 software release. Severity 1 caveats are the most serious caveats; severity 2 caveats are less serious.
This document describes open and resolved severity 1 and 2 caveats and selected caveats of other severities, for release 3.5.4.
•The "Open Caveats" section lists caveats that are open in the current release and may be open in previous releases.
•The "Resolved Caveats" section lists caveats that are resolved in this release, but open in previous releases.
Within the sections, the caveats are sorted alphanumerically by caveat number.
Note If you have an account with Cisco.com, you can use Bug Navigator II to find caveats of any severity for any release. You can reach Bug Navigator II on Cisco.com at Service & Support:
Open Caveats
The caveats listed in this section are open in SN 5428-2 software release 3.5.4.
•A conflict in cluster operations could lead to an unsteady state in HA.
Workaround: Ensure that all configuration imports have finished before rebooting either node in a cluster. If the problem occurs, you must remove the conflicting configuration elements from the problematic node (for example, node A) by issuing the clear conf all command and then rebooting that node using the reboot command. Create the cluster again, using the setup cluster command. The configuration on the other node (for example, node B) should be unchanged. When node A becomes part of the cluster, it will relearn the configuration from node B and HA will be in working condition. All parts of the configuration that were changed should be inspected to make sure that the desired configuration changes have been preserved.
Resolved Caveats
The caveats listed in this section are resolved in SN 5428-2 software release 3.5.4.
If a firmware restart occurs during device discovery, device discovery fails to complete after the restart.
Workaround: None. This problem is resolved in release 3.5.4.
Compaq SecurePath Manager software does not work with iSCSI and an MSA1000. This configuration is not currently supported.
Workaround: None. This configuration will not be supported.
TCP is defined in RFC 793 as a means to provide reliable transmission between hosts in packet-switched computer networks. RFC 1323 introduces the TCP timestamps option to increase the performance of TCP. Some implementations of the TCP timestamps option are vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack from specifically crafted packets. The impact of a successful attack is a stall of a TCP connection until the TCP connection is reset. Only the TCP session that is explicitly targeted will be affected. All other active TCP sessions will be unaffected.
An attacker needs to determine the IP addresses and the TCP port numbers of both the source and the destination to exploit this vulnerability. Only the TCP sessions that are originating or terminating on a targeted system can be affected. All TCP sessions passing through a targeted system are unaffected.
A security notice regarding this issue is posted at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sn-20050518-tcpts.shtml.
Workaround: None. This problem is resolved in release 3.5.4.
Documentation Updates
This section describes changes or corrections to the SN 5400 Series Storage Router Command Reference, Release 3.5.
The following command has been added to the CLI:
•To enable the sending of LUN Change Async events for the specified SCSI routing instance and target combination, use the scsirouter target lunasyncevent enable command. To disable this function at the target level, use the no form of this command.

School tax vote recount continuing
Published: Monday, November 12, 2012 at 10:42 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 12, 2012 at 10:42 a.m.
DELAND —A recount of more than 234,000 ballots cast last week on a Volusia County school tax referendum went on well into the night Monday and may not be finished until Thursday.
"It's very slow; we're still doing absentees," Elections Supervisor Ann McFall said late Monday afternoon. Elections workers planned to stay late Monday night to get that part of the count finished.
The canvassing board ordered the recount Friday after unofficial results showed the tax being defeated by only 0.44 percent of the 234,662 ballots cast. State law requires a machine recount when the margin is less than 0.5 percent.
McFall said no major changes showed up in the early counting Monday and, based on the pace of Monday's work, it may be Thursday before the entire recount can be completed.
If the machine recount shows a manual recount is needed, it will start immediately after the machine tally is completed, McFall said.
She has said it's extremely unlikely the recount will change the vote outcome on the tax, which would have raised $26 million annually for Volusia schools for the next four years.

First brainstorming ideas
- Perl
Easy integration in existing systems
Source-Repositories consist of Packages / Releases / Versions / Files etc.
Each web-site has somewhere some code where the html is generated. This is the place where the following functions can be called:
Viewing a project (as it was + some tags)
- Display Project-Tags
- simple function with project-id as parameter that returns html
- Display Package-Tags
- simple function with "project-id:package-id" as parameter that returns html
- Display Package / Relases / File-Tags
- and so on
- any Identifier for what to tag is good here
- any delimiter is also fine (but has to be configured somewhere)
- depth may be configured or given as parameter (e.g. show only project-tags, but not the file-tags here)
- Possibility to submit a tag
- a) function that generates the code for tag-submission
- b) just write your own code as html-form (maybe even with javascript to pop-up if you like)
- Store tags
- As we don't want to go to some other page when a tag was submitted, we need a function that analyses the http-post/get variables for our information. This will also be a simple function-call that does just this and doesn't output anything (and of course won't do anything if no valid http-variables are found)
- If you like you can write your own AJAX-code that does a XMLHttpRequest to a different site where this function is located. Then we don't even have to redisplay the current page :)
whole projects, packages, releases, single files
For these each software repository already has unique identifiers. So no special work has do be done here. Just pass the identifier to the functions.
Could be done by adding the possibility to pass lists of above identifiers to the functions. We would then just associate the tag to each file in the list.
parts within a source-file
Could be done by passing line-number-ranges to files. But as files change, this would only work if we calculate hash-values of files and use those as identifiers.
A better solution might be to add tags into the code (e.g. for c):
//tagbegin:helloworld void main() //tag:function:myfirstmain { printf("Hello world!"); } // tagend:helloworld
- this will only work for developers with write-access to files
- any tag-classes could be added like:
//tag:package:mymain(But we wouldn't know what 'package' actually means, those classes are just like tags, but their intention should be to describe what is tagged here)
- This would need to run a script over the source-codes to extract the tags. I'm not sure yet if we really need to parse the files, probably just seeking for appropriate patterns with regular expressions should work fine here! (And would include a great language-independence :)
provide freely definable tagging-classes
As already described in tagging source-code directly, this sheme could be taken over to all tags by just saying, that a tag may consist of a description-tag of what kind/part of information is tagged, and then the tag itself:
background image:transparent animation
idea:displaying images with information in background while browsing the net
functionnames:fancy but cool
see also:http://somedomain.org
distinguish between tags from everybody to those from project-owners
This could be done by adding a tagger-group-id to each function-call.
For example the following id's could be used:
- 0 - anonymous
- 1 - project owner
- 2 - registered users
Each Repository-Site probably knows this information and should be able to pass this to my functions.
Well, this will be a simple web-interface for the project-owners. Here tags and class-tags can be corrected, removed and reassigned.
Access-Restriction to this interface should be done however the site does it anyway :) (No user-management will be implemented here!)
The Database-Structure could be as follows:
whatistagged < n --------- n > tag < n ---------- 1 > tag-class | | whoandwhen
I'm not yet sure if this is really neccessary here, maybe the following (even simpler) structure is better here:
whatistagged < 1 ----------- n > tags
Here the tags-table also contains the who, when and class attributes.
Attributes: (id is always the primary-key given from the db)
- whatistagged
- id, what-id (what-id is the id like 245:453:7 for project 245 package 453 release 7, we could also add like 10 columns or recursive table-structures for this, but as for now the what-id could be seen to be atomic for our needs, even if project, package and file are included. )
- tags
- id, tag-text, tag-class-text, tag-added-by-group, date-of-tag-submission, whatistagged_fk
