The Titans (15-9) took the early one-run lead on an RBI single in the top of the first inning.
The Sun Devils evened the score, 1-1, in the following frame on an RBI single by Nathaniel Causey, who scored Trever Allen from third.
Fullerton added three runs in the top of the fourth inning to retake the lead, 4-1. Young gave up a pair of singles with one out and was replaced by Alex Blackford, who conceded a pair of RBI singles and an RBI groundout.
Andrew Aplin scored Causey from second on an RBI double in the bottom of the fifth inning to bring the Devils within two, 4-2.
CSF extended their lead to four with an RBI groundout and an RBI single in the top of the seventh.
ASU answered with two runs in the bottom of the eighth pull within two, but Fullerton responded with three runs in the top of the ninth to stretch its advantage to five, 9-4.
The Sun Devils tacked on a run in the bottom of the ninth on an RBI double by Abe Ruiz.
Left-hander Tyler Peitzmeier earned his first win of the season after allowing one earned run on four hits in 3 1/3 innings. Right-hander Michael Lorenzen (9) got the save after pitching the final 1 1/3 innings.

In episode 7 of NBC's Dracula, "To Serve Two Masters," intoxicated by his new-found invulnerability to daylight, Grayson dares to deny his curse and regain his humanity. Renfield is dispatched to Budapest to acquire a mysterious and long sought after relic on his employer's behalf. Harker discovers Grayson manipulated him into slandering General Shaw. Grayson and Mina plan a "Lunatics Ball" at the Bethlem Asylum. Plans for a public demonstration of Grayson's technology are crushed by The Order when they stage a public health hazard.
One comment
I'll have to watch this one online having missed it. From what I see of this in the trailer, the parallels between Dark Shadows and Dracula continue. An interesting contrast between Barnabas and Dracula is that while Barnabas uses being a businessman as a cover for not being seen in the day, Dracula is actually taking care of business. I wonder what Barnabas might have been like had he not been situated in remote Collinwood compared to the teeming city of London?

Internationalizing Strings
By email@example.com on Oct 19, 2009
How should I set up my strings so that they can be translated to other languages? JDeveloper does a very nice job of automatically creating a resource bundle that contains your strings. Let's say you are creating a new button:
By default, "commandButton 1" is the name that this button will display. Now you can change this Text to be a value from your resource bundle and you can also define an AccessKey, something like "Close" with "C" will name your button "Close" with the "C" underlined as your accelerator. However, if someone later translates "Close" to a language where "C" is no longer part of the new word, then your "C" AccessKey won't work. What to do?
Use the TextAndAccessKey field instead. Click on the little down arrow next to the field and select "Select Text Resource..."
Then enter your desired value with the AccessKey directly in the string:
By using "&" before the letter "C", you are asking that "C" be the AccessKey. JDeveloper will automatically underline the "C" for you and provide accelerator functionality. Now if someone were to translate "Close" to another language, they would see that "C" is the AccessKey and they could pick a new AccessKey and not lose the accelerator functionality that JDeveloper provides.

text: This highly successful Mathematics and Computing Specialist School has 1255 pupils, a teaching staff of 77 and a support staff of 38.Originally built in 1959, the school has undergone extensive refurbishment in recent years. Its facilities now include a modern foreign language suite, 6 ICT rooms, a drama studio, 8 science laboratories, a music suite with practice rooms, and a brand new SEN department and RE/PSCHE block. The specialist school initiative will mean further building development in the near future.The catchment area comprises Holmfirth and the surrounding villages. These provide an intake which is well balanced socially and academically. The school is conveniently situated about seven miles from Huddersfield and has excellent communications by road, so that large centres of population are easily accessible.The school takes its community responsibilities seriously. It adopts an open policy towards parents, and pupils are encouraged to participate in the life of the school and locality in a positive and helpful manner. Many adult education classes take place on the school premises at night and a joint use arrangement will ensure full use of the sports accommodation by local community groups in the evenings.As a school, we aim to be sympathetic and understanding while being purposeful and demanding. We encourage all pupils to strive to achieve the highest academic level of which they are capable.High personal and disciplinary standards are regarded as important. We are aware of the difficulties that all pupils share as they pass through a large school during adolescence. We also recognise the special requirements of a small number of boys and girls who have personal or academic problems and provide as much support as we are able.The school is organised on a Year basis, with Heads of Years overseeing the job of Form Tutors. Pupils are taught in their mixed ability tutorial groups in Year 7, although setting is introduced in a number of subject areas in Year 8. In Years 10 and 11, all pupils now follow a course which enables them to study English; Mathematics; Science (either combined or three separate subjects); ICT; Religious, Personal and Social Education including Careers, and Physical Education. In addition most pupils study a Technology subject, a Modern Foreign Language and two other options.The school has an excellent record in public examinations; the great majority of our pupils achieve well at education or training beyond the age of sixteen. They are encouraged to make a considered choice from the various institutions available to them. Over the past 3 year period Holmfirth High School has been the top comprehensive school in the Authority in terms of the % of children obtaining 5 A*-Cs. In 2003 71% of the Y11 cohort achieved at least five A*-C passes.We attach great importance to the place of extra-curricular activities in the school programme. A wide variety of cultural, sporting, outdoor pursuits and other activities take place, with outstanding levels of success being achieved. It is hoped that applicants will give a clear indication of areas in which they are able and willing to participate.We hope that this outline has been useful. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to telphone the school. In normal circumstances, the appointment will be made within one month from the appearance of the advertisement. Unless applicants have been invited for interview within this period, it should be assumed that the post has been filled. It is regretted that expense makes it impossible to write personally to all unsuccessful candidates.

Can you install Windows 7 on Microsoft Virtual PC 2007, VirtualBox on a mac, or on Windows 7's Virtual PC?
Using Virtual PC 2007 to install Win 7 is a bit weird... but in fact, it is just like installing Win 7 on an old machine... so if 10 years later, if there is Windows 9, you can still install it on a Virtual PC 2007 probably?
Did anyone try those and saw how big the .vhd or .vmdk was? Win 7 requires 16GB of hard disk space so maybe the .vhd file is close to 16GB too? In that case it is hard to burn to a DVD-R and store that image file for later use.

The sun has been shining VERY strongly in London atm.
I thought that after Kickstarter, Chris had to go on that research trip to Bermuda? Something about the Bermuda Triangle being central to the plot I imagine...
"...not having to believe in a thing to be interested in it and not having to explain a thing to appreciate the wonder of it."
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RuleOfFun <- The greatest rule of all
Haha. Yeah. Well, much like I (erroneously) assumed I could have a holiday as soon as I finished getting the Kickstarter set up, up until today I was thinking that next week would be relatively chilled out. Then it occurred to me I'm going to have to organise getting 4,000 people Desura keys and collecting the various items of personal information required to get them their rewards as well. No holiday for me obviously!
But from our point of view, the plan is to spend the next week or so finishing up the Kickstarter and working on the next build, which we hope to release in about a week. Once that is out, assuming no massive crashes, I think I'll take 2-3 days off.
Things are going relatively well on the development front. You'll probably get an update on that next week.
Chris England - Xenonauts Project Lead
Chris, you should know as the head man, lead developer, community manager and general point-of-contact for everything you're not allowed to be human!
we'll get a thank you video on Kickstarter and it will be a Scuttle Bot hovering there with a Chris Mask on...

Carbon Analysis
The Principle of Carbon Analysis
Heating Samples for Carbon Analysis
Ensuring Accuracy During Carbon Content Determination
How Carbon Content is Calculated
LSM Analytical Services offer a large and diverse range of modern analytical testing facilities that cater for a vast range of industry sectors. LSM's success has been achieved by building on a strong reputation for low cost, fast accurate turnaround. The laboratory activities are backed up by accreditation to the ISO 17025 (UKAS) and 9001:2000 laboratory and quality management standards. LSM is able to offer complete analytical solutions from its internationally recognised team of technical experts, with in depth knowledge, allowing its customers to benefit from impartial guidance.
LSM's range of analytical services includes:
• X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (XRF)
• X-Ray Diffraction (XRD)
• ICP Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES)
• Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS)
• Carbon, Sulphur, Nitrogen, Oxygen Analysers
• Boron analysis by the Neutron Transmission method
• Colorimetric and Volumetric Analysis
• Particle Size Analysis
LSM Analytical Services large range of analytical techniques includes instrumentation for Carbon analysis.
The principle of Carbon analysis is to oxidise the sample by heating in an Oxygen atmosphere to form CO2, which is then measured by infrared detector.
The heating is generally done in a high frequency induction furnace as this provides both speed and accuracy. The sample is placed in a ceramic crucible and an accelerator is often added to ignite the sample and can also act as a flux to dissolve any oxide skins to improve melt fluidity, which allows the carbon in the sample to be oxidised in a short time. It is imperative that complete combustion is achieved in order to gain accurate results.
There are a large range of accelerators used and the choice depends on the base material being analysed. One feature of any accelerator is a low carbon (and Sulphur as this is often analysed for in a similar way) content.
A key issue in carbon determination by this method is the purity of the Oxygen gas used. Typical impurities include CO2 and CH4. CH4 can be oxidised at the temperatures involved in the test to CO2 + H2O, so for accurate results the effects of these impurities have to be resolved in the test method. This can be done in a number of ways, for example by using high purity Oxygen or by employing an in line gas purifier.
In the test a signal will be obtained that is not attributable to the sample. The cause is a combination of impurities in the gas, crucible and accelerator. The average contribution to the carbon signal from these sources is determined to allow the sample contribution to be calculated. The inconsistency of impurity levels from these sources cannot be completely eliminated and this affects the ability to determine accurately to very low levels. As the method is relatively quick, repeat determinations are often requested to improve the accuracy of the determination (by taking the average of several results).

Flash Review 1, 9-7: Spring to Fall
Dance Now Wows in Opening
By Maura Nguyen Donohue
Copyright 2001 Maura Nguyen Donohue
If it's autumn in New York then it
must be Dance Now, the annual fall dance extravaganza, celebrating its 7th year.
Though last night's opening event at Dance Now's base camp, Joyce SoHo, was so
damned fresh I thought it was spring all over again. Once again, kudos to founding
directors Tamara Greenfield and Robin Staff, now joined by Kara Tatelbaum, Netta
Yerushalmy, Erin Reck and Romy Reading in keeping this ever growing celebration
alive and kicking.
Lisa Gonzales and Paul Matteson's
"Her Dream, His Waiting for Her to Arrive" begins in a whisper, immediately drawing
us into a riveting and intimate moment before it bursts into a delightful series
of playful near misses and word play. The ease between the two and their skillful
partnering and soft landings are just like dessert. An apple pie at a picnic --
an absolutely delicious mix of sweet comfort and refreshing tang.
Zvi Gotheiner's excerpted "Interiors"
is a different kind of co-ed duet, but equally as delightful. Ying-Ying Shiau
and Todd Allen execute this complex dance chock-full of intricate partnering without
an air of effort. Their execution of line and range of motion are lusciously enticing.
By the time Alexander Gish's "Pick
Up," danced with Trebian Pollard, begins I realize I'm getting loads of what I'm
always looking for at dance concerts: Fresh, fast and fearless partnering matched
with engaging performers. Gish and Pollard don't skimp on either; in fact they
draw audible gasps from the audience during a few seemingly impossible moments.
And while we're on engaging performers,
Amber Sloan, in Sara Hook's richly evocative "Rue" is a compelling mess. Hook's
penchant for awkward and vaguely discomforting heroines is well met by Sloan.
She's a discarded rag doll in hot pink hair and silver lashes whose violent falls
make me flinch while keeping me thoroughly enthralled.
Justin Jones and Christopher Yon
are immediately defined the moment the lights rise as part of the cavalry of young
artists Dance Now aids in a time of diminished opportunities. Yeah, "The Aorta
Stomp" is basically just another quirky-white-boys-in-ties dance but it's still
Johannes Wieland would seem a part
of the cavalry as well. Or at least so would his dancers, all probably students
at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, where Wieland's a second-year
MFA. The performers attacked his dance "Tomorrow" with true youthful abandon.
Wieland's tomorrow could be a yesterday from a few thousand years ago, or perhaps
an anticipated future. The dance begins with Neal Beasley, Sae La Chin and Amanda
Wells partially submerged in three raised and illuminated fish tanks and leaves
the stage and performers soaked. This 'Tomorrow' is a wet, dark and angry day.
Though PerksDanceMusicTheatre's "Fast
Dance" was indeed quickly paced, it wasn't what I'd expect from the usually innovative
choreogrpaher Rebecca Stenn. Stenn's solo moments in this duet with Michele de
la Reza do reveal Stenn as a noticeably individualistic and enthralling dancer
to watch. In fact both dancers' solo moments were most enjoyed because they broke
off from the very linear, strangely old fashioned and overused movement phrase
that makes up most of the dance. The music by Dave Eggar and Jay Weissman with
Tom Papadatos bursts, rips and slides.
Laura Gates Carlson is a sincere
and graceful dancer, but "Touch, Lips, Sing" is unfortunately reminiscent of too
many satirical imitations of modern dance I've witnessed from family & friends
over the years.

I'm often asked, "I hate my job. How can I work in the wine business?", so here's what I tell folks.
The first thing to realize is that entry level into the wine business is not typically a high paying position. If you are currently making a good paycheck, chances are that you are going to have to accept an initial pay cut. The simple reason is that there are far more people who want a job in the wine business than there are jobs in the wine business.
I'm going to generalize here because there are always exceptions. The majority of jobs in the wine business are filled rather quickly from within the local markets. Most of the job openings are at the wholesale level and the first line of "qualified" and available people are from the local Restaurants or Wine Shops. The higher-level jobs of Supplier or
Marketing Reps or Vineyard/Winery Reps are almost always filled from the local Wholesalers. Again, there are many exceptions. I know of people who jumped right into a high paying Supplier level positions and some from outside of the wine industry completely. Having said that, here is my suggestion.
In order to find out about the jobs that do come up, you need to tap into the wholesale side of the business. The best way to do that is to work either full or part-time in a fine wine shop. You get two key benefits. You should have an opportunity to taste wine samples brought in by the wholesale reps, some of which you may not otherwise have a chance to taste. And, you can develop connections into the wine business.
Along with that should also come opportunities to attend "trade-only" tastings put on by the Wholesalers and Suppliers in your market. Then just get out there and network furiously. Find out who the wine Managers are and contact them. Be persistent and aggressive in your pursuit of a job. Managers like to know that you really want the position, that you're "hungry" for it. Do not get annoying; just don't take "no" lightly. Be aware that the last three months of the year
are the biggest in this industry and Managers are hesitant to make major changes during this time if they can help it. It's a good time to establish contacts, but don't expect to be hired until after the first of the year.
Good luck, and wherever you are, please spread word about www.LocalWineEvents.com

Did his mom name him Bono?
Even at the tender age of 16, the Dublin boy born Paul Hewson had a flair for the post-modern. He and his friends were part of a self-styled "surrealistic street gang" called Lypton Village. One of their favorite past times was giving people nicknames, as it was considered strange to stick with the name you were born with. Hewson got tagged with the nickname Bonavox, which was taken from a local hearing aid shop and roughly translated to "good voice." He used the name Bono Vox at the beginning of the band's career, before eventually...

College Hockey:Boston College Overcomes Adversity, Merrimack
Boyle, Rooney, and Ferriero Give Warriors All They Can Handle
NORTH ANDOVER, Mass — After a trying week for Boston College seniors Brian Boyle and Joe Rooney, the Eagles forwards came through with big games.
After both were stripped of their captaincy for what head coach Jerry York referred to as an "academic issue," Boyle, with a goal and four assists, and Rooney, with a goal and two helpers of his own, led Boston College to a 6-1 victory at Lawler Arena on Friday night.
"It felt good," Boyle said. "A couple of the assists were lucky. We worked hard. Ben and Joe have been making it easy."
Those good feelings were shared by Boston College head coach, Jerry York.
"I think they responded and are playing very well, I think," York said. "I think Brian's game is getting better. Joe has been arguably our best player game in, game out."
Benn Ferriero started the scoring on the evening, when Rooney raced the length of the ice and beat two Merrimack defenders. The rebound of his wrist shot came to Ferriero, who put the puck past a down-and-out Patrick Watson.
"It was a good night," Ferriero said. "All my line mates played well. We're all starting to play well. Finally, in the past couple of games, we're starting to click."
Watson withstood the Boston College onslaught for the rest of the period, and let the Eagles head to the locker room with only a 1-0 lead.
After the puck dropped to begin the second frame, the Eagles took it to Merrimack. Just 1:01 into the period, Brock Bradford slid a Nathan Gerbe give-and-go past Watson for a 2-0 lead.
J.C. Robataille gave the Warriors some hope when his shot from the goal line found the back of the net on a 5-on-3 power play.
From there, the Eagles showed no mercy, as Ferriero's second, and Rooney's wraparound closed out the second on a 4-1 Boston College lead. Boyle assisted on both tallies.
"The big piece for us was giving up odd-man rushes," Merrimack coach Mark Dennehy said. "I told my guys I'd chalk this up to 'growing pains,' if I thought we grew from this. I mean, I thought it was a huge step back for as. I expected out team to answer the bell after not playing well Wed. BC is not a team you want to trade chances with."
Dennehy did trade in his goaltender to start the third, with freshman Andrew Braithwaite getting in between the pips for mop-up duty and Ferriero didn't wait long to finish his hat trick. Just 3:42 in, he ripped a Rooney pass from point blank into the twine to go ahead, 5-1.
Just 2:21 later, Boyle put the game out of reach for the offensively anemic Warriors, as he sniped a wrist shot into the top corner of Braitwaite's net to cap the scoring.
"We didn't play well at all," Dennehy said. "I thought special teams were the only thing we did well tonight, which is ironic, because we didn't do a good job of it the other night."
With the win, Boston College completed a regular season series sweep of the Warriors, outscoring Merrimack 13-3 over three games. The Eagles improved to 12-6-1 (9-4-1, in Hockey East), and hope to continue their three game win streak next weekend, with two games at Vermont.
The Warriors, on the other hand, dropped to 3-16-3 (3-11-0) and look to grab four points with a home-and-home series with Boston University next weekend.

I have a vps, and have several site on it, usually these sites are rarely being visited except myself, thus i am shocked by one fact that is i visit the vps provider's portal and find i have used a huge amount of bandwidth that such a small site would never used.
so i run ntop and reset all statistics then refresh the ntop web portal through 3000 port and find the diagram is really shocking, that DNS traffic occupies nearly 99 percent of all traffics, and the DNS traffic is nearly 100MB in several minutes, you could see this fact through the picture i uploaded
My Question is as follows: 1. Why there is so huge DNS traffic on my VPS? 2. Is my VPS hacked by someone that my VPS is configured as a core of dns traffic?
Edit 1 @RSchulze why you said the reason is because of mis configuration of dns software such as named? which kind of mis configuration could result in such huge dns traffic? btw, i don't configure named manually, i configure it using kloxo, which is a Host management software and it's author just sucided for hack attack against kloxo:( i still think my server maybe hacked:( maybe i should learn wireshark and capture some packages in order to know the origin and target of this DNS traffic
Edit 2 After i kill the named process, there is seldom DNS traffic now:) but why there is still some DNS related traffic, but they are all received traffic, no send traffic:) does that mean my VPS send some DNS request to other hosts?

NEW YORK -- The third
New York Flamenco Festival began last Thursday night at City Center
with a cast of six singers, six guitarists, two percussionists (one
of whom also dances) and five dancers ranging in age from 14 to
58. Including the choreographed elegance and refinement of Manolete,
the instinctive improvisation of Farruquito, Juana Amaya, Antonio
Canales, 14-year-old Farruco and Manuel Soler, the Gala de Andalucia
benefit for the World Music Institute served up a feast of pure
unadulterated flamenco to the impassioned sold-out crowd of 2,700.
The dissident opening
chord on the guitar immediately set the serious tone of the "Martinete
por Seguirilla"and the cante (singing) began with the booming pure
flamenco voices of Enrique "El Extremeno," La Tana and Jose Valencia.
Farruquito, 20-year-old heir to the Montoya flamenco dynasty, his
14-year-old brother Farruco, long wavy hair half covering his young
face, and Juana Amaya enter, each first marking the rhythm and absorbing
the raw emotion of the cante, then responding with lightning speed
footwork. Her arms spread like an eagle soaring over the world below,
Amaya seems to be on the stage and at the same time looking down
on it from some higher plane. Her footwork is precise and insistent,
demanding attention. Farruquito enters gliding from one side of
the stage to the other as if skating, punctuated by outbursts of
rapid footwork. The three dancers join together for a "palo seco"
(percussion only) section, defining the martinete: a rhythm derived
from the banging of the blacksmith's hammer. To use martinete, one
of flamenco's oldest styles, to open the show is an appropriate
statement of the history and tradition represented by these Gypsy
Manuel Soler, percussionist,
dancer and guitarist, then gave an all percussion solo, dancing
with his cajon, accompanying and answering himself. More attention
should have been given to this multi-talented artist.
Next up was a guajira
from Farruco. Guajira is a lighter rhythm, what we call a "cancion
de ida y vuelta"(round trip song) because it didn't develop until
after the Spanish settled in Cuba. Farruco came out smiling in a
baby blue suit with white shirt and boots, this time with his long
hair slicked down. The playful and sweet romantic mood of this rhythm
and its cante are just the right fit for this child-artist. His
feet are just as powerful as his older brother's, but he uses his
arms above his head more than Farruquito, and in the resolution
"por tangos" he showed a growing sensuality and use of the body
that will only become more irresistible as he matures.
During the rondena,
danced by Farruquito and Amaya, it became evident that the singers
were not sufficiently miked. Many people are not aware that in flamenco
the compas (rhythm) is the motor that drives the dancer and the
cante (singing) is the inspiration. The cante is the base and the
beginning of flamenco, many flamencos say, the most important element.
Too often U.S. audiences are only interested in the footwork and
don't give the cante the attention it deserves. Several times during
this evening I saw the singers straining more than they should have
to in order to overcome the unbalanced sound system. "Las cosas
del querer no tienen explicacion" (the matters of love can't be
explained) began the letra, Amaya and Farruquito dancing for us
the melancholy of a misunderstanding between partners, each explaining
their own suffering and finally coming together, Farruquito gently
wrapping his coat around the shoulders of his partner.
For me, the highlight
of the gala came next, with the solea danced by Antonio Canales.
The solea is a serious rhythm, with letras (lyrics) usually relating
personal suffering; a true expression of self, followed by a cathartic
release in the lively rhythm of bulerias. The piece began with just
percussion and as the guitar came in, so did Canales, skulking from
offstage with his shoulders and head down. He turned to face the
audience and lifting one foot at a time in super-slow motion made
his way downstage. He slowly lifted his arms to the heavens as if
drawing some spirit out of the earth or pleading with God. He clapped
his hands together, the lights rose and he stood there, waiting
for the cante: "Mala sea la persona que me ha ensenado el querer"
(curse the person who taught me to love). Canales is a big man,
but is capable of incredibly delicate movement. Rather than paying
attention to his feet, my eyes were constantly drawn to his hands,
caressing the music. The soft roundness of his arms and gentle,
almost feminine use the hands makes a surprising contrast, with
his masculine appearance and fierce footwork. (Again, unfortunately,
the mood was disturbed by the unbalanced sound system. During the
second letra the singer had to keep gesturing offstage begging that
the guitars be turned down.)
So much attention has
been given to Canales's experiments with flamenco and grand theatrical
productions that many people have forgotten that under it all, the
Man Can Dance. It was absolutely thrilling to be reminded of how
Antonio Canales got to the position to be able to experiment. When
he threw down his jacket and let loose for bulerias, it was hard
to stay in my seat. It was also a nice touch to see young Farruco
accompanying Canales with palmas (clapping).
The second half opened
with Farruquito dancing an alegrias. He entered joyfully in a dashing
white suit, calling for the letra with his brilliant footwork. He
is so connected to the compas (rhythm) he appears to be in a trance;
nothing is staged, nothing is faked. The singers and guitarists
are hanging on to every nuance of his long lean body to find their
cues. It's electrifying. We dancers know what it means to be addicted
to dance, to NEED to dance, but imagine literally being born to
dance. While still a toddler, Farruquito was chosen by his grandfather
El Farruco to continue his legacy. Being a dancer is not a "choice"
Farruquito made, it is his vocation, his destined path. When I watch
him dance, I don't only see the 20-year-old in front of me, I see
the grandfather in his dignity, and in the way he clutches his jacket.
His face is beautiful and young, but it has an ancient quality,
his deep-set eyes carrying the whole history of his people. He is
definitely worthy of his task.
Juana Amaya gave us
a solea wearing a soft layered red dress. Amaya appears so internalized
when she dances, it almost seems we shouldn't be watching. I find
her a little scary. "Yo me meto por los rincones" (loosely translated,
I lose myself) began the letra. While some dancers languish in the
mood of the letra, or struggle against it, Amaya always appears
defiant. She expresses herself through her remarkable feet more
than most female dancers and her use of only one guitarist gave
the impression of a very personal conversation between her feet
and the guitar. She holds her body controlled in an attitude of
hyper-awareness, only softening slightly to deliver her very minimalist
bulerias, but even then the powerful letra sang by La Tana said
"my death is my cry of freedom." How strong a statement is that?!
The great maestro Manolete
danced the rhythm of alegrias. He began dancing in his chair, with
his masterful feet singing around him. Like all the artists in the
gala, he was exposing his soul through the "arte," but he expresses
himself using refined and intricate choreography. His 58-year-old
body is small and perfectly proportioned like a ballet dancer's.
Manolete's technique is elegance; he made several "cortes" (full
stops) so perfect it seemed the musicians even stopped breathing
for the time he held himself aloft. Even with the heavily miked
floor, his feet sounded light, like the tapping of fingernails on
a table. A counterpoint to the grand master dancing was the very
young singer who sang two classic letras of alegrias. The reverence
shown by the youngest artists for the older generation throughout
the show was a pleasure to see.
This inter-generational
respect continued in the fin de fiesta (grand finale), done traditionally
in the rhythm of bulerias. All the artists came out together, even
the singers and guitarists taking their turns with a "pataita,"
dancing for each other. This is always the funnest segment of any
flamenco show. Canales waved his polka-dot handkerchief, while singer
"El Extremeno" imitated the distinctive pose of Juana Amaya. I left
with a huge smile on my face, even before receiving the small bottle
of Spanish olive oil provided to every audience member by the Junta
de Andalucia as we filed out. Now if only WMI and Miguel Marin Productions,
producers of this event, would bring the festival to Philadelphia
and more U.S. cities next year!
Anna Arias Rubio began her training in dance and music at age
four. After training in ballet with Margarita DeSaa and John White
at the Pennsylvania Academy of Ballet, she started studying modern
dance in her early teens with Joan Kerr and Susan Hess. Anna moved
to San Francisco in 1982, continuing her modern training with several
teachers, including Lucas Hoving and Ed Mock, and began flamenco
with Rosa Montoya (of the important Montoya Gypsy clan) and with
the late Maestro Cruz Luna. By 1986 she was a member of Theatre
Flamenco of San Francisco under the direction of Miguel Santos and
Adela Clara, performing throughout the Bay Area. In 1991 she returned
to Philadelphia and became a member of the Flamenco Ole company
under the direction of Julia Lopez and Carlos Rubio (no relation),
performing, teaching and giving lecture demonstrations around the
country. After living in Spain for a couple years, Anna continues
to study in New York with Nelida Tirado and Olympia Estrella from
Sevilla, in Spain with La Chiqui de Jerez and recently with Inmaculada
Ortega. Anna and her husband Tito Rubio, a flamenco guitarist from
Spain, give classes and perform throughout the Philadelphia area
with their group Flamenco del Encuentro. Anna was awarded an Artistic
Fellowship for the year 2001 from the Independence Foundation.

The Telluride plane crash victims have all been identified as pilots, as the recovery of Sunday's crash continues Monday. The three people on board the small plane died on impact when the plane came down in southwestern Colorado, according to the Fox News on Feb. 17.
The crash killed the three Arizona residents, Sherry and Sherman Anderson along with Eric Durbin. Sherry Anderson, 57, and 64-year-old Sherman Anderson were both commercial airline pilots and Durbin, 48, was a former military pilot.
The plane, a single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza, was on a 75 mile journey to Cortez when it departed the Telluride Airport on Sunday. There was light snow at the time of takeoff at 11:20 a.m. The last communication that air traffic controllers had with the plane was when it was on the Telluride airport runway, when they cleared the plane for take off.
It is not known what caused the crash, which occurred not far from the Telluride Airport. The FAA is investigating the crash.

Looking to raid my hard disks but need all the important stuff out first, have not been very tidy with my file management, is there a program that will scan my computer and pull out all the video, music and pictures? Also placing it into some sort of file structure? I don't mind using multiple programs. Sam
The media player "Banshee" will find and put all your MUSIC and VIDEO files in folders. Just be sure to set the "Copy files to media folders when importing" checkbox under "Preferences" before importing. The application "Shotwell" will take care of your pictures and copy them into folders as well. Just look for a similar option before importing... I think i says "Copy to folder when importing" or something with that meaning at least.
!!! Be aware that that when Banshee and Shotwell are done importing your media this way, you will end up with TWO copies of every file. One in your old location and one in the new where these programs put it. This means that you have to be sure you have enough room on your disk. PS: YOU CAN CHOOSE AN EXTERNAL DISK AS YOUR IMPORT DESTINATION, THAT WAY YOU WILL BE ABLE TO FIND ALL YOUR FILES AND BACKUP AT THE SAME TIME !!!
You can try searching for file types.
Open the dash and type
The downside to this will be that you will need to find out what file types you have that you want to save, and that you will end up with a folder with everything mashed together (or one folder per file type if you copy to a new folder each time). To find which file types you have on your machine, I'd suggest looking around.
Sorting your files can afterwards be done using their metadata (depending on how much they have). For you music files, you can use Ex Falso (available in the software center) to create a folder structure.
For you're videos and pictures, I don't know.
For pictures and videos you can try shotwell. Shotwell will let you set an import folder and assist you with organizing them into a folder structure.

Ask anyone who's ever planned an event – whether live or virtual – and they'll tell you that the scariest thing about the experience is the thought of empty seats.
It's a nightmare scenario that sadly becomes reality in far too many events, and it doesn't matter if your event is…
- Well planned and professionally developed
- Much-needed by your audience
- Easy to attend
It can still fall victim to that curious sequence of events that leads good events down the path to oblivion.
But with the help of Facebook, arguably today's most popular social network, you can get more people interested in your event than ever before, and it's easier than you might imagine.
Just what types of events can you promote with Facebook? Really, the only limit is your imagination, but when it comes to business, some events are better suited than others.
Some of today's most popular event types include:
Private Retreats. Similar to a mastermind group, private retreats offer an opportunity for like-minded business owners to spend a few days "talking shop." It's a fantastic opportunity to get feedback on your business model, marketing plan, future products or any other aspect of business you struggle with.
Retreats are typically held in relaxing, luxurious surroundings, such as at the beach or other resort area. They are small and intimate, and generally quite costly to attend. The value of a retreat is in the relationships that are built and in the private one-on-one time available with the hosts.
Telesummits. Typically a large event, telesummits have become popular lead generating tools in recent years. Most telesummits feature multiple speakers and may span a week or more. One common format is to allow live attendance and a short replay period (just a few days, generally), then offering the entire package of recordings and transcripts along with bonus materials for a fee.
Telesummit guests are encouraged to present a special offer just for listeners, which often takes the form of a discount on a product or program. Unlike teleseminars, telesummits are most often pre-recorded.
Teleseminars. Similar to a telesummit, a teleseminar is generally a short event featuring one or possibly two speakers. They are most often live events in which listeners are encouraged to ask questions.
Seminars/Workshops. These can be live or virtual. Speakers encourage the attendees to take action on-site with information given, and time is typically set aside for working through the exercises. Q & A time is important for this type of event to succeed.
Mastermind Groups. No great business is created in a vacuum. In fact, many will tell you that success is dependent on seeking the counsel of other business owners. These mastermind groups meet either live or virtually to discuss new ideas, create plans of action, and arrange to promote one another.
Some mastermind groups are free, but most are paid (some highly so), and the best of them meet live at regular intervals. You can use Facebook events to solicit applications from prospective members, or to set up your own virtual mastermind.
Webinars. A webinar can be either a free or a paid event, depending on the depth of information offered. Many online business people are finding great success in hosting free webinars that act as a promo for a larger, paid event or product.
A word of caution if you plan to use this tactic, however: Be absolutely certain that your free event provides solid information that people can use, even if they don't opt to attend your paid event. No one will tolerate an hour-long sales pitch with no substance, and you'll lose credibility if your webinar comes across that way. A good rule of thumb is to keep your pitch to no more than 10 minutes at the end of your webinar.
Pro tip: If you're worried about losing the attention of your attendees once you start the "pitch," save one nugget of information for the very end. Drop hints about it throughout, then preface your pitch with a statement like, "I'm going to share [your golden nugget] with you in just a minute, but first I want to tell you about [your paid event]." That helps to keep listeners on the line during your offer.

Brief introduction:
The discovery of Zhu Ran's tomb is an important archaeological excavation concerning Three Kingdoms Period in the Middle and Lower Yangtze River. The tomb is also the largest, the earliest among all tombs of high status in Eastern Wu Kingdoms Period. The discovery is listed as the top ten in the 1980s. The excavation was made by archaeologists from Anhui Historical Relics and Archaeology Research Center and workers from Maanshan Historical Relics Census Team. According to materials from the excavation, the owner of the tomb was affirmed to be Zhu Ran, a leading marshal in Eastern Wu Kingdom. In spite of a previous robbery, some delicate lacquer wares in the tomb remained safe. Among all 140 pieces of relics, a part of it was listed as national first-rate treasures.
In 1986, the Zhuran tomb was put in the list of Major Historical and Cultural Sites under Anhui Provincial Protection, and a Historical Relics Exhibition Hall was built. The hall is a Han-style building with the tomb as the body. Just in the middle of the hall lies the tomb. Relics, materials and pictures concerning Zhuran were set out around the hall. While touring, tourists can have a view of life and society during Three Kingdoms Period.
Notes: Zhu Ran(182-249), born in a rich and powerful family. He was classmate of Sun Quan, King of Eastern Wu Kingdom. During Three Kingdoms Period, Zhuran headed an army to fight against enemy from Wei Kingdom in the north, and later resisted intrusion from Shu Kingdom in the west. He had won many battles and ranked as a leading general in Eastern Wu Kingdom.

San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge may be one of the most recognizable in the world, but the following bridges have their own awe-inspiring features.
I spent last Monday with New Orleans public works director Robert Mendoza, who delivered what must have been the most complete, short-term lesson possible on managing public expectations.
New Orleans' recovery is a tale of two cities where repair and rebuilding sit side-by-side with demise and despair. At times it seems that improvements aren't happening fast enough, but city officials say that--considering the damage it suffered--the recovery is just where it should be.
As New Orleans continues the slow journey on the road to recovery, the city's architects are aiding the effort by designing first-class parks, preservation of historic buildings, and other projects.

You need to push forward a little harder then one might think. The size of the ramp plays a large factor in determining the amount of force you need to apply. The ramp in the video looks large with a steep transition. Im sure there is a smaller ramp at the legendary Kona Skatepark this dad could have started his novice son on. Or maybe he should have taught his son by example, but it's very clear this guy doesn't skate given the way he was attempting to 'teach' his son to drop in!" - Jason Chapman The National Skateboarding Examiner

text: Dec 20, 2012 17:45 50 years after forming X-Men, Professor X dead 50 years after forming X-Men, Professor X dead This comic book cover released by Marvel shows the "Avengers VS. X-Men #11" issue. Marvel Comics is killing off Charles Xavier, the founder of its famed X-Men, with his killer none other than Scott Summers who, as Cyclops, was one of the original five mutants whom Xavier taught to use his powers to help man- and mutant kind with mixed results. The death comes in "Avengers Vx. X-Men" No. 11, which was released Wednesday, Sept. 12. (AP Photo/Marvel Comics) Associated Press Sept. 12, 2012; 2:29 p.m. Comments PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Fifty years after Charles Xavier banded his first class of mutants together as the X-Men, the telepath- turned-team builder has been killed by one of them. The erstwhile teacher, who trained mutants in Marvel Entertainment's X-Men comics through the years, was felled in the latest issue of "Avengers vs. X-Men" by none other than Scott Summers. The 11th issue of the limited-series was released Wednesday. Summers, aka Cyclops, was one of the team's founding members and was a near constant member through its various incarnations. In the current series, he's been taken over by the Phoenix force and is lashing out, violently. Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso said it was not writer Brian Michael Bendis' initial intent to kill the character off, but "as the story progressed it became obvious that this had to be the last stand of Charles Xavier." He says the mortal blow will have ramifications that will reach into new titles coming this fall, including "Uncanny Avengers" and "All New X-Men" later this fall. ——— Online: http://www.avx.marvel.com Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Tenor recorder in 442, considerable length, baroque fingering, double-keysBoxwood, Natural Finish
The Hotteterre-tenor has a powerful and warm sound in all registers. The instrument is most suitable for solo playing and its extended compass of 2 1/2 octaves gives access to the baroque flute literature. Because of their considerable length the instruments have keys for the lower notes.Three recorders branded with the anchor serve as models for the Hotteterre-tenor. The anchor sign belongs to Jean Hotteterre and his descendants: a very influential French family of woodwind instrument makers and composers in the 17th and 18th century with a widely spread family tree. It can not be proved with any certainty that the instruments were designed by Jean himself or by one of his descendants. Two of the three recorders are to be found in the Musée de la Musique in Paris, one belongs to the Frans Brüggen collection in Amsterdam.

Phoebe Tonkin Is My Newest Crush
I've never heard of Phoebe Tonkin before, but since she was invited to the CW, CBS and Showtime 2013 Summer TCA Party, I'm going to assume she's famous. Or at least on TV. And according to my research, she's on The Vampire Diaries, which I'm sure is great for her. But if Phoebe wants to take her career to the next level, she should really consider dating a blogger. And luckily, I know just the guy: me. Call my agent and we'll set something up.

Up close, this work of art may seem like an ambiguous blob, but take a step back and you might just have a divine vision.
Self-described "artistic superstar" Rob Surette used 24,790 colored thumbtacks to create his pushpin portrait of Jesus.
Working one hour a day, seven days a week, Surette took six months to complete the 22-square foot mural, according to Oddity Central. The white, black, red, yellow, green, blue, magenta and purple pushpins blend together to create a vivid portrait of Jesus.
No stranger to the pointillism form, the 40-year-old artist also holds the record for the world's largest Lite-Brite creation, built from 513,000 tiny plastic light filters, the North Andover Patch reported in July 2011.
The portrait is valued at $250,000.

Peaches Geldof - a successful television presenter, writer and model - died at the age of 25. Geldof is the second daughter of famed-musician Bob Geldof and television presenter and writer Paula Yates. She is survived by her husband Thomas Cohen, who is the lead singer of the band SCUM, and two boys, according to a BBC report on Monday. She was briefly married to rock musician Max Drummey.
Her father said that the family is beyond pain as he confirmed her death. He said that Peaches was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and most bonkers of everyone in the family. He went on to say that she was a beautiful child. He said:
How is this possible that we will not see her again? How is that bearable?
Authorities were called to a location near Wrotham, Kent in England on Monday afternoon after a 'concern for the welfare' call was made. Police have said that Peaches Geldof's death is being treated as unexplained and sudden.
Born as Peaches Honeyblossom Geldof in 1989, she had a media career which began when she was only15 years old. At that time, she began writing for Elle magazine. After leaving home at the age of 16, she became a contributing writer for Telegraph and the Guardian – two very popular publications. She also had television shows during her short life. The shows included ITV2's OMG! with Peaches Geldof.

Album Summary

- Roman Sadnik (Tenor)
- Martin Ranalter (Organ)
- Martin Achrainer (Organ)
Notes & Reviews:
World premiere recording of a recently rediscovered mass, from a composer not usually known for sacred works.
"The operetta composer Franz von Suppé (Francesco Ezechiele Ermenegildo, Cavaliere Suppé-Demelli) was born in Croatia to Belgian parents in 1819, and died in Vienna, the scene of his long, successful career, in 1895. He had strong Italian connections - Donizetti was a distant relative - and, in his early years, Suppé often traveled to Milan where he became acquainted with the music of Rossini and Verdi, whose influences are heard in the Missa Dalmatica.
When, as a mature, middle-aged composer, Suppé came across a Kyrie for a Mass in F that he had composed at the age of 14, he tracked down other movements that had remained in Zadar, the capital of Dalmatia, and revised them substantially. It was performed with success, but was then lost again. In recent years, the musician Sergio Siccardi's discovery of separate parts of the Mass in archives in Zadar and Vienna resulted in the creation of an edition and the present recording.
It's an attractive, serene piece composed with enough contrapuntal skill, dramatic contrasts, and variety of tempos to avoid monotony. The title Petite Messe solonelle would fit Suppé's Mass better than Rossini's. While the Rossini work is 80 minutes long and unabashedly florid in its melodic style, Suppé's never dawdles, setting only the Ordinary Mass, and while its style owes much to Italian opera - the harmonic language is that of Rossini with touches of middle-period Verdi - it often achieves a genuinely devotional tone.
The Missa Dalmatica is scored for male choir, three male soloists, and organ. It's a measure of Suppe's skill and a credit to the performers and engineer of this recording that its all-male scoring works so well. The organ accompaniment doesn't sound like a substitute for an orchestra. The choir has the majority of the work's music, and the quality of the Concentus Choir Bruneck, prepared by chorus master Hubert Hopfgartner, is the main factor in this performance's success. The group sings with liveliness, accuracy, and a nicely blended sound, helped by a warmly live acoustic.
The soloists perform less consistently well than the choir. Roman Sadnik, a tenor with an affecting delivery and good enunciation, is the most extroverted of the three. In the Domine Deus, a nice solo aria, his voice sounds like the real thing: a ringing operatic voice that you'd want to hear in Verdi or Puccini, but elsewhere in his performance there are individual, unsupported notes that make me question his technique's solidity. Baritone Martin Achrainer sings well with a rather anonymous timbre, but the bass Bernhard Spingler often strains in a part that seems to lie too high for him.
I have been playing this CD repeatedly for the pleasure of the music's soothing, affirmative mood. Who would have thought that the composer of the Light Cavalry Overture would have produced this accomplished, sincere sounding sacred work?
Thanks to the Solovoce label for bringing a worthy rarity to light."-Fanfare

Google has just swallowed up another software maker; this one a canadian based mob known as BumpTop which is known for its 3D desktop environment for both Windows and Mac.
You may have noticed this software bundled with select Sapphire and HIS Radeon graphics cards. It allows the user to interact with their media in a new way, giving a 3D desk-like view that supports multi-touch as well.
If you think you could make good use of it you should be quick to head over to BumpTop's website and download it while it's still free and accessible; apparently only 'till the end of this week.
It is not known how much Google handed over for this acquisition.

The New Orleans Saints defeated the Carolina Panthers 30-27 in an NFC South showdown Sunday in Charlotte, N.C. The Times-Picayune breaks down how the team fared in all four phases of the game: offense, defense, special teams and coaching.
Defense: 2.5 fleurs-de-lis
Two gigantic roughing-the-passer penalties allowed Carolina to continue drives that turned into touchdowns. The calls may not have been good ones - the call against Turk McBride in the third quarter seemed particularly weak - but penalties hurt New Orleans badly. And while Carolina and Cam Newton have made many big plays this season, the Saints surrendered two in the first half that made the game much closer than it should have been. Patrick Robinson gets better each week.
What grade do you give the defense? Let us know in the comment thread below.
