Introducing LinuxCon - Our New Annual Technical Conference for All Matters Linux
The Linux Foundation is very excited to announce the launch of LinuxCon, a brand new annual North American technical conference. The 1st Annual LinuxCon is taking place September 21 – 25, 2009 in Portland, OR. Registration and Call for Papers are now open - details are below.
Linux is poised to become a 50 billion dollar ecosystem by 2011. While there are many point developer conferences for Linux today, there is not a comprehensive and high quality gathering for developers and users of Linux to come together and collaborate. LinuxCon will do just this – bringing together the best and brightest the Linux community has to offer, including core developers, administrators, end users, community managers and industry experts. It will also touch on those areas that revolve around Linux, including enterprise computing, the mobile/embedded arena, cloud computing and virtualization. LinuxCon will gather the best technical talent in the world with the decision makers and experts guiding the Linux ecosystem into the future.
Attend LinuxCon and be a part of this community!
LinuxCon will feature over 75 conference presentations divided among five tracks and three audience types (Developers, Operations and Business), tutorials, BoF sessions, keynotes, roundtables, a product & technology showcase and sponsored mini-summits, as well as countless networking opportunities in developer lounges and evening events. LinuxCon offers a unique conference experience that encourages collaboration, progress and interaction.
With top notch educational content and collaboration opportunities, those that attend LinuxCon will leave more knowledgeable and better positioned for success in the year to come.
CALL FOR PAPERS IS NOW OPEN - We encourage everyone in the community who is interested in speaking to apply.
There will be three different categories for submissions: Developer (kernel, core development, software engineering), Operations (sys admin and management, systems architecture, Linux migration and deployment), and Business (open source governance, enterprise, ecosystem)
Each of these groups plays a key role in the Linux community and we want to make sure that they are represented at LinuxCon. The deadline for paper submissions is April 15th.
REGISTER TO ATTEND BY APRIL 15TH FOR THE DISCOUNTED RATE OF $299! For information, to register or to submit a speaking proposal, please click here.

I have my glm, and loads my textures, but why doesn't it load the stormtrooper/caps.tga?
Because the file is in the assets pk3, it doesnt matter: they're just cap textures, if your skin file is correct then you will see them in-game.
In that case, I'm off to painting him a little more, and he's off to jk2files.com to see how successful he'll be. Thanks again Psyk0.
So you managed to get it in-game? good work! :)
I got it in-game, but there's a few deformations I need to fix.
Also, my arms are kinda funky, it might be the bones they're weighted to, you can see through the arms where the caps would be (torso_cap_arms_off). It's like the arm doesn't twist with the shoulder that well, hard to put into words.
He's done =P Thanks again psyk0 :D
Can we see it or get a link? :D
Actually, my friend is going to do a little skinning on him, so we're working on the model as a team. Finally he has my model, now he just needs to color him in. I'll give you a link when he's done ;)
For now, I want to do a few animations for him, somehow I need to change a few frames and keep the rest of the 17,000. In the game he's from, he has a weird way of standing, that I want to copy, and he doesn't run, he glides by using his wings on his back. His wings aren't normal Dragon wings, the ones that flap. See the pics to see what I mean, he flies as if he was a rocket burning fuel, heh. Here's what I'm trying to make.
*** To see the 3rd link, click on it's properties and copy and paste again. The post took a short cut on the link and doesn't work***
I'm also including a Boss Theme Duel music as a pk3 included with the skin. :D

Preparing for tomorrow's Concert-Goers: Are you ready for the next generation of ticket buyers? (and we're not talking about teenagers!)
Jun 242013
The LOS staff was stunned by this article earlier this month, so we thought it was worth sharing.
Brian Solis is a "media-theorist" and definitely on the cutting-edge of digital marketing. In this post he dramatically identifies the habits and online behavior of Gen Y and Z. He also helps us understand who these folks are and how we can reach them.
2013 Conference: A considerable amount of time and energy at this year's conference will be devoted to "taking the plunge" into a new decade of concert presentation. Adopting digital marketing and online commerce as tools to reaching younger ticket buyers will be at the center of our focus.
I am looking forward to your thoughts about this article as it relates to promoting live arts and entertainment in our communities.
"Blame it on the youth they say. Indeed, there's a great assumption that the future of technology falls in the hands of emergent generations. The youth of today will someday represent the majority of consumers, employees and citizens. That's always the case, but what we don't yet fully appreciate is just how different young adults think today. We don't yet understand what it is they value and why. We've not yet assimilated how they make decisions and what factors influence their daily activities and journeys……"

DRY stone waller Gary Helliwell hopes to show his handiwork to millions after creating a unique bike ahead of the Tour de France.
The 48-year-old, chairman of the South Yorkshire Dry Stone Walling Association, worked with fellow members to construct the ten tonne wall.
It will be displayed close to the finish line of the Yorkshire section of the cycle race in Sheffield on Sunday July 6.
"The Tour de France was going ahead and it just clicked that we should do something," said Gary, of Skinpit Lane, Hoylandswaine.
"It's just something completely different, I imagine on the day there will be quite a lot of interest."
The wall is made from Yorkshire sandstone, taken from Hillside Quarry in Thurlstone, with the bike constructed using recycled millstones and slate.

Things To Know About The Game
East Carolina is playing its final home game of the season Saturday night. It'll be the final home game for seniors Shamarr Bowden, Corvonn Gaines, Miguel Paul and Maurice Kemp.
A win would give ECU its first winning record in league play since joining Conference USA. It would also give the Pirates their second 18-win season in three years under coach Jeff Lebo.
The Pirates are going after their 13th home victory of the season, which would be their most-ever at Minges Coliseum. ECU is 12-4 at home this season.
East Carolina trails the all-time series, 6-13. The Pirates are 4-4 against Marshall at home.
The game features the top assist distributors in the conference. Marshall junior DeAndre Kane is averaging 6.9 assists per game, while ECU senior Miguel Paul is averaging 6.7 per game. They rank 10th and 11th nationally.
The Pirates have won each of its last two "Senior Night" games. ECU defeated Marshall 69-68 in overtime last year and knocked off Memphis, 68-57 a year earlier.
East Carolina is second in the league in scoring offense (76.9), while Marshall is last in scoring defense (72.5). ECU is 10th in scoring defense (72.0).
Senior Maurice Kemp is 15 points shy of fifth-place on the school's single-season scoring list and 20 short of fourth-place. He has scored 514 points so far this season.
Paul is eight assists short of his 2011-12 total and seven shy of third-place on the school's all-time list. He has handed out 175 assists this year and 358 during his two-year career.
Notes, Streaks And Trends
East Carolina has won four straight games when holding its opponent to 69 points or less. The Pirates are 11-2 this year when limiting its foe to less than 70 points.
The Pirates have won 75.0 percent of their home games this season (12-4), its highest winning percentage at home since going 10-2 (.833) during the 1996-97 campaign.
The Pirates have won 12 of 14 games when leading at halftime this season. Losses were to UTEP and Southern Miss.
ECU has shot more free throws than its opponent six times in league play, winning all six of those games.
East Carolina has made 10 3-pointers in a game eight times this season and has compiled a 6-3 mark in those games. It has also accumulated a 9-6 record when making seven or more.
After yielding 50 percent shooting in consecutive games to UCF and Houston, the Pirates have held nine of their last 12 opponents under the mark.
Senior Maurice Kemp has scored over 20 points in six of the last eight games (33 at Rice, 24 at UCF, 23 vs. UAB, 23 at Tulsa, 23 at USM, 29 vs. Tulane). In the other two games he was held under double figures (9 vs. Southern Miss, 8 at SMU).
Senior Miguel Paul has handed out double digit assists in four of the last seven games. He is averaging a league-best 8.1 assists in conference games.
Junior Akeem Richmond has scored double figures in a season-long six straight games, averaging 20.3 points. He is 35-of-67 (.522) behind the arc in those games with an average of 5.8 made 3s.
Sophomore Paris Roberts-Campbell has scored double figures in two of the last three games.
Last Meeting
DeAndre Kane tallied 22 points and Dennis Tinnon added his fifth double-double of the season as Marshall defeated Conference USA rival East Carolina 77-56 at the Cam Henderon Center. Kane hit 7 of 14 from the field and made 3 of 6 from 3-point range, while Tinnon had 11 points and 12 boards for the Thundering Herd. Elijah Pittman added 19 points and D.D. Scarver 11, while Nigel Spikes grabbed 11 rebounds.
Robert Sampson collected his fifth double-double of the year with 10 points and 17 rebounds for East Carolina, which had its two-game winning streak snapped. Miguel Paul added 17 points and five assists, but committed seven of the Pirates' 18 turnovers. Akeem Richmond added 10 points off the bench.
The Herd rushed out to an 18-2 lead, scoring the game's first 12 points, as the Pirates connected on just 1 of their first 16 field goal attempts. ECU didn't scores its first basket until nearly six minutes had passed. Its second field goal came four minutes later.
While the Pirates were struggling to score, the Herd was not. They shot 50 percent (18-36) from the floor in the opening 20 minutes and built a 25-point cushion with 4:08 remaining before halftime.
ECU connected on just 9 of 31 first half field goal attempts for an underwhelming 29.0 percent. Although the Pirates started off 2 of 17 shooting, they did finish strong making 7 of their final 14 shots in the half and trailed by 20 at the break, 43-23.
At the outset of the second half the Pirates seemed poised to put together another one of its patented comebacks, scoring the first six points to get within 14 in just over two minutes.
Marshall coach Tom Herrion quickly called timeout.
The Thundering Herd scored nine unanswered points out of the timeout pushing its lead back to 25 with 15:14 to play and eventually swelled to 29 points.
ECU used a 16-2 run to trim its deficit to 17, 69-52, with 4:35 to play behind three consecutive 3s from Richmond. That was as close as they could get as the 29-point deficit proved too much to overcome.
Marshall scored 24 points off the giveaways, and also outscored East Carolina 52-30 in the paint and 20-4 on fast breaks.
Up Next
ECU will be action Thursday, March 14 in the quarterfinal round of the 2013 Conference USA Basketball Championship. The Pirates' opponent will be determined on Saturday and their game time will be announced late Saturday night.

FRESNO, Calif. - Fresno State head football coach Tim DeRuyter welcomed the Bulldog Foundation's Green V Society members with a hole-in-one Monday afternoon at Copper River Country Club during the BDF's annual Green V Golf Tournament.
DeRuyter was greeting all members who played in the tournament on the eighth hole at Copper River, a 132-yard par 3. As part of the tournament, DeRuyter hit one shot per group as they came through the eighth hole.
The third group that came through saw DeRuyter hit his pitching wedge the perfect number, recording the first ace of his life.
The hole-in-one was also witnessed by Director of Athletics Thomas Boeh, who greeted Green V members on the green at the eighth hole as the designated putter. Boeh didn't have any work to do as DeRuyter's ball landed two feet from the hole, bounced twice and went in.
"It was unbelievable," DeRuyter said. "It was a first for me; I was a little shocked and didn't know how to react. I saw Thomas throw his arms up and the group just went crazy."
DeRuyter's hole-in-one quickly spread throughout the tournament, which featured 120 golfers. Fresno State coaches also attended the tournament, playing and supporting the Bulldog Foundation.
"Monday's tournament was a great way to show our appreciation to such key supporters," head men's basketball coach Rodney Terry said. "It was an exciting day and DeRuyter definitely knows how to add to the fun with a hole-in-one."
The Bulldog Foundation and the Green V Society is a key component to the success of Fresno State Athletics. To learn how you can join the Green V Society, you can call the Bulldog Foundation at 278-7160.

Here's another cool project from Kyle Evans, creator of the electroacoustic didgeridoo.
The de/Rastra oscillographic synthesizer is a real-time audio/video instrument and computer-interfacing device that lets you generate visualizations intrinsic to cathode ray tube technology while simultaneously creating the acoustic analog of the displayed imagery.
Here's what Evans has to say about the de/Rastra oscillographic synthesizer:
Through hacking and exploiting the capabilities intrinsic to all CRT devices, the technology becomes repurposed as a performative interface, breaking down the device's 'consumption only' nature. The performer is given control over the technology by removing it from the intended application and forcing it into an active state through a combination of physical and mental effort.

In addition to advances in game mechanics and a new-gen engine, fans can expect to find improvements to the weaponry of Assassin's Creed Unity as the setting for the popular Ubisoft franchise continues to move throughout different ears of human history. On July 22, the developer revealed on their official blog that gamers will no longer be restricted to only performing up-close kills with the hidden blade since the iconic assassin's tool has been reworked in Assassin's Creed Unity to include a mini-crossbow mechanic letting fans fire deadly blades from a distance.
While previous Assassin's Creed titles have included a variety of ranged weaponry, this is the first time that the hidden blade itself has been redesigned to allow for silent, ranged attacks. To go along with the new feature, the device has been renamed in Assassin's Creed Unity to the Phantom Blade to properly differentiate the weapon from its previous models.
Ubisoft explained that the improvements to the basic assassin's toolsets aren't intended to be simply a gimmicky gadget. Instead, it is meant to represent an evolution of the series' gameplay mechanics to go along with updated systems for both combat and the franchise's signature parkour style free-running that will be introduced in Assassin's Creed Unity.
In addition to new gameplay features, the upcoming release will also feature graphical and engine improvements as a result of the new generation of hardware. Since Assassin's Creed Unity won't appear on last-gen platforms, the developer can focus entirely on utilizing the advanced power of the new consoles.
Assassin's Creed Unity will launch only on the Xbox One, Playstation 4, and PC later this year. The game won't feature the competitive multiplayer mode that has been in the past several installments of the franchise since Ubisoft is instead focusing on adding four-player cooperative missions for the first time.

Antioch College Section :: Page 23
On Friday, Antioch independent once again
"There's never been a story like this in higher ed."
College moves closer to achieving independence
Antioch College moved one step closer to independence last week, when a Greene County court approved the transfer of the college endowment from the university to the college.
Boots on the ground for Antioch
If you ask Matthew Derr how many hours per week he spends on his job, he's stumped. During a recent interview, he made an earnest attempt to answer the question before giving up.
Signed agreement prepares way for transfer of college
On Tuesday, June 30, the boards of Antioch University and the Antioch College Continuation Corporation, or ACCC, announced that each unanimously approved an agreement that paves the way for the creation of an independent Antioch College in Yellow Springs.
ACCC optimistic for college
Recent weeks have been like "the last leg of a relay race" that organizers hope will result in the creation of an independent Antioch College, leaders of the Antioch College Continuation Corporation, or ACCC, said last week.
Antioch Buddhist program is 30
The Buddhist Studies Program of Antioch Education Abroad, or AEA, offers something unique to young people, organizers believe. The young participants not only study Buddhism but live it, immersed in an exotic world as residents of a monastery among monks and nuns.
In uncertain times, Nonstop holds on to vision and ideals
Launched a year ago with a little cash, lots of moxie, and an abundance of passion, the Nonstop Liberal Arts Institute is wrapping up its first year soon. According to recent interviews with Nonstop faculty, staff and students, the Nonstop effort has been intense, exhausting and sometimes frustrating. But it's also been hugely rewarding.
Antioch deadline extended
The 90-day deadline that the boards of Antioch University and the Antioch College Continuation Corporation, or AC3, had set as a goal to reach an agreement on the transfer of Antioch College passed last week without a final agreement. However, principals of the negotiations met in Queens, New York, to extend their negotiations for another two months.
Antioch edges toward a deal
As the task force charged with negotiating the separation of Antioch University from the college passed the midway mark last week on its way toward finalizing an agreement, college alumni representatives were working furiously to raise the money to insure a successful independent college.
Large YS employers holding steady
While the turbulent economic climate has affected all regions of the country, some municipalities are faring better than others. So far, Yellow Springs seems to be one of the relatively fortunate towns, as most of the largest employers in Yellow Springs report overall stability, even as they face the coming year with caution.

Photographing peacebuilders in Sri Lanka
February 8 2013: Stephanie Rose Wood, a London-based photographer, travelled Sri Lanka photographing local peacebuilders. In the first part in a series of blog posts, Stephanie shares her work.
Stephanie Rose Wood is a photographer based in London who got in contact with Insight on Conflict last year to ask our advise concerning a project that she wanted to begin in Sri Lanka. Stephanie was interested in organisations that supported women who had been affected by the war and wanted to find out more about the possibility of working with these organisations whilst producing a photographic story.
Insight on Conflict put her in contact with a number of people. However, due to the political tensions at the time concerning NGO's working with foreigners, Stephanie decided that it was the wrong time to begin the project, as she was sympathetic to the potential problems that this would cause. Stephanie re-evaluated her plans and decided to travel to Sri Lanka in April 2012, treating it as a research trip. Whilst in Sri Lanka, Stephanie travelled to the Eastern, Northern and Central Provinces and met people that were involved in community-based organisations, photographing her travels and some of the people that she met. Stephanie explains her project:
The photographs were produced whilst on a research trip to Sri Lanka in April and May 2012. This explorative trip was initially focussed on the aftermath of a war that lasted nearly three decades. Once in Sri Lanka I realised I could not create a collection of images portraying the country's troubled past. Instead, I turned my attention to people's ideas for it's future and the positive movements that people at a grass roots level were making. Photographed are those who have committed themselves to providing support to others through community based organisations. The subjects are all of different backgrounds and experiences, they all wish for the same thing, peace and understanding.
The photographs were taken using a large format field camera. The camera, despite it's large size and peculiarity invokes an inquisitive reaction rather than an intimidated one. The slow and methodical process encourages the sitter to relax, giving me the opportunity to engage with my subject and encourage a much more mindful photograph.
Stephanie is currently raising funds so that she may to return to Sri Lanka to work with NGO's within photography and education whilst continuing with the photographic story. You can keep up to date on the project here. Featured below is a selection of her photographic work from the trip.

I wandered down the hill to check on her and sure enough she was presenting all good signs of labor from a small leak of mucous to the telltale intermittent neck stretching, leg pointing, and lip curled grunting. She was eager for me to rub her face and neck and seemed calm and strong so I wandered back up to Jeff figuring that she was in early labor and we would have a long night of watching, waiting and possibly assisting. We talked a bit about the shelter construction and the flocks and I decided to head inside for a while to conserve energy for the events to come when I started hearing some funny noises from the direction of the laboring doe. I couldn't quite tell what I was hearing because it wasn't a sound I had heard before, so I took off to check on our girl. Since I approached from the back of the shelter I peeked in between the slats and saw her munching on the straw bedding. That's odd," I thought, "Why would she eat bedding when she has a bin full of sweet grass and alfalfa right there?"
I wandered around to the doorway and was met with her messy backside as she greedily chowed down near the back of the shelter. While I was taking in the scene she gave a grunty push and out came a stream of blood. I called to Jeff to join me because I was not expecting to see blood before baby. As he made his way down my eyes finally adjusted from the snow blindness to the dark stall, and I saw that she was not eating straw at all, but was happily cleaning a squirmy little goatling!
She looked around at me to give the air nosing greeting that she gives and went back to cleaning up her little one.
Because we adopted an already pregnant doe with signs of obvious neglect we needed to keep an eye on several things, not least of which being the muscle strength of the kids and their ability to nurse within the first hour. White Muscle Disease has been a concern we have carried since day one with our doe, so we pulled up a log and sat at the doorway so as to keep an eye without disturbing her.
There are a lot of goatherders who are very hands-on at kidding time, but as a homebirthing family that sought to avoid the delivery of our own babies being hands-on and overly assisted (in a world that screams DANGER at such practice), it was our natural desire to give our doe the space and chance to do well on her own. She took it and made us proud. She spent about 20 minutes actively attending to her new kid before her next set of contractions began. She gave a few standing pushes before deciding to lay down beside her new kid and switch between nudging him and riding her contractions. After about 10 minutes she stood to swiftly deliver baby number two. We watched to see that he presented with two little feet and a nose before plopping to the ground where our doe began cleaning him up beside baby number one.
At this point Baby One was on the ground for nearly 40 minutes so we began to encourage her to let him nurse. This is where the going began to be less smooth.
Our mama was patient and accommodating, but the two little bucklings simply couldn't find the right spot. Jeff crawled into the stall and helped them get a good latch for their first nursing and I headed in to find our three kids busy at cleaning the house. I told them that there was a surprise outside for them and Quinn set to helping me prepare the goat electrolyte drink, grain, black oil sunflower seeds and mineral gel for our doe.
When I came back out I found that Baby Two was up and walking about poking at mom and trying to figure out how to nurse, but Baby One was lying on the ground like an unblinking rag doll, getting trampled by his brother. So I asked Jeff to pull him out and rub him vigorously with the straw while I readied the the mineral gel and set my heart to accept losing our first kid. Because Jeff's paycheck was once again several weeks behind we had not been able to purchase the Bo-Se (vitamin K/Selenium) shots like we wanted in anticipation of this situation, so I asked Jeff to pick up the kids and I applied the concentrated vitamin/mineral gel to his finger so that he could rub it in their mouths and we set to the quiet process of watching and waiting.
Mama doe lost no interest in her kids and continued to dry and nudge them as she should and we sat on our hands and hearts waiting to see some signs of livening in Baby One. Finally he began to try to work his legs underneath him, and though he failed a full stand he made it up on four feet and we went ahead and put him on to nurse again. Over the next hour both babies were up on unsteady legs and poking (wrongly) at Mama's teats.
All prepratory reading that I had done stated that once the kids got a good taste of mama's milk that they would do the work to find their way back, but this simply wasn't the case for our little ones. Try as they might they could not figure out the process of having to lay down to locate the bottom rather than the top of her huge teats. We knew that we were not supposed to leave them until we had witnessed them nurse of their own accord, but it was not looking promising, so I left Jeff so that I might hit the goat forums and beg advice while googling the heck out of our problem.
Every reading indicated that we had done everything that was to be done and that the kids should have persistently sought out the nurse on their own. No such luck for our little herd. After some three hours (past sunset) we had to set to the evening chores of feedings, milking, etc. So, satisfied that we had provided them with several nursing sessions, we left them be in hopes that nature would follow course and all would be resolved.
We continued to check in and watch, but the kids seemed weakly, lacked persistence, and gave up easily on trying to find teats. We were worried. On top of it, Mama was presenting a rapidly engorging udder and fat teats. No amount of searching could provide us with any answer beyond the kids figuring it out on their own, and we were at a loss of what to do now as the evening progressed.
We plugged in the heat lamp, provided a nice thick layer of new bedding and left them be. Several other farmers had suggested that it was not uncommon to not witness the nursing in the first few days and that they would figure it out. We checked on them the last time just before 1:00 a.m. and Jeff said that he saw no evidence that they had nursed because our doe seemed very full and they still seemed confused, but they were both on their feet and walking about so we went to sleep for the night.
Early the next morning we were not pleased with the sight. Mama was crying, kids were crying, and Mama had gigantic purple torpedoes instead of teats, and I was done with waiting. She had lost patience with her kids and was rapidly jumping her legs about when they came near to bump and nudge her swollen, angry teats. I told Jeff to get her on the milking stand because I feared mastitis, not to mention kid starvation.
Mama goat was NOT pleased and refused to get on the stand which at some 140 lbs presented a real challenge for us, but Jeff managed to lift her and force her unwilling head into the stanchion. She proceeded to kick at us furiously while we tried to milk her. Her teats are some 10x the size of the other doe we had been milking, swollen to boot, and the fierce kicking was not making things easier.
Jeff's hands have been very painful for weeks and he had to stop from the pain so I (not the household milker) set to milking. I quickly found that I could not milk with one hand and had to use both hands on one teat at a time since she quite outsized them in circumfrence and length. Jeff held her kicking legs to protect my arms and chest while also steadying the milking bucket where we were trying to collect the milk for the starving kids.
After I had expressed about a half gallon of milk she finally started to settle down a bit and kicked only once every minute or so and I found that I could now milk with one hand per teat. They finally took the softer, darker form they should have. As we reached what looked to be almost a gallon of milk we decided to leave off what little remained and see if the kids might nurse more readily on these newly soft teats. I took the milk in to strain and bottle while Jeff put mama back with the kids and watched to see if they could manage now, but Mom was having none of it, and they were just as inept as before, poking some two inches too high of the sweet spot.
So we decided to leave them be for a half hour while we prepared to run to town for baby bottles and such. Before leaving Jeff helped the kids nurse and they spent much longer on her than they had before, and she had returned to being patient and still for them, so we headed out hoping (again) that things would work out, but came home to a full mama and sunken bellied kids again. They wanted none of the bottled milk and it looked to be a repeat of the previous night.
This morning then was a repeat of the previous morning, though it took two of us this time to get our ornery doe into the stanchion, and I wound up with some bruised fingers. We fought against furious kicking while we milked her again. This time she gave two quarts instead of three since we had been nursing the kids on her. The kids were still refusing the bottles with sunken bellies so I put them in my lap and shoved the rubber nipples into their mouths until they got the hang of it while Jeff let Mom exercise and browse.
I gave before and after photos on the homesteading forums, along with a complete rundown of the past 40+ hours, and asked for help and understanding. Is mom defective? Kids defective? Do we quit trying and get stuck with bottle babies? Do we keep trying and milk mom at the same time? Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
The consensus seems to be that Mom is formed normally for her breed, though possibly a little pendulous, she's behaving in good fashion, kids are achieving fat bellies with our help, so there is little to do except continue to help them nurse every two hours until they get the hang of it.
So here we are. Tired. Frustrated. Confused. Irritated. But, we have a healthy doe and two lively kids who are now able to empty mom for us.
Our next issue will be deciding what to do with the two bucklings. I won't lie. It was a big disappointment to wind up with two bucklings and no doelings. We have a wether that we are preparing to put down as he is no longer needed and is a fierce bully of our other milking doe. This leaves us with two does and none growing to replace the wether. So, do we castrate and disbud the kids to raise them for spring meat, or do we disbud and sell them as bucks? We are not yet sure.
The last of our chickens are in this week's stock pot, and the laying hens are providing a few dozen eggs each week, so meat is a need which must be met with the wether being too old to provide much but soup bones, stew meat and dog food, so this is where we are leaning.
Updated to add that as of this evening Buckling #2 is nursing unassisted! Woot!
Sorry, but I still can't get pics on my computer so they're here on Imgur:

The spring edition of "Binghamton Restaurant Week" didn't quite match the number of meals served in last fall's event, but that wasn't the major news released Thursday by Mayor Rich David and the event's organizers. The fact that it raised more than $10,000 for two local nonprofits was the key element.
Local diners ordered 21,000 meals for the event that ended April 10, compared to 22,000 served last fall, but netted higher proceeds, which will go to support of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Binghamton and Volunteers Improving Neighborhood Environments (VINES). The latter organization operates seven community gardens, the Binghamton Urban Farm and a community orchard on the city's North Side. The fall event raised $8,534 to the Community Hunger Outreach Warehouse.
"There couldn't be a better way to support a local organization that grows food in the City of Binghamton than by supporting local restaurants and enjoying all they have to offer," Binghamton Urban Farm manager Sean Cummings said in a prepared statement.
The spring and fall restaurant 10-day "weeks" began locally in 2010 as a downtown event, but have grown to include restaurants in the city's South Side and West Side neighborhoods. This year's fall edition will run from September 16 through 25. As in the just-completed event, participating restaurants will offer a three-course lunch for $12 or less, and/or a three-course dinner for $25.

All operations of the Soul Food Cafe Mission are conducted every Tuesday at Conway's Ministry Center, the former 2nd Baptist Church facility, where we've been since 2011.
You can keep up with the amazing work Jesus is doing at the mission on Facebook, just click here.
We were recently honored to receive the Community Service Award from Senator Jason Rapert!
Soul Food Cafe Mission Statement
To provide a place where people in our community or those passing through can receive, without hassle or precondition, free hot meals, food boxes and/or clothing without prejudice or regard to race, creed or religion.
To present the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a creative way to those who will hear, but is not forced on anyone in order to receive any help from the Mission.
To provide an opportunity for churches and people of faith in Jesus Christ from our community to help in distributing, feeding, clothing or ministering to those coming to the Mission for assistance.
To maintain the Mission grounds as denominationally neutral, so that all people of faith in Jesus Christ can work together for the Kingdom of God.
Our History
Sometime during October of 1994, Rick and Traci Harvey moved back into the Conway area, settling in Greenbrier. Rick had been in full-time Christian ministry, but the change in location included a change in vocation, and Rick began working in the insurance industry. The Harvey's sought a church where they could minister and be ministered to. They soon became members of Christ Church which at that time was on Bronnie Lane.
Through a series of unexpected changes, Rick was eventually asked if he would step into the pastoral role at Christ Church, at least in a part-time capacity. He became the pastor and ministered in that role for about six months. Under his leadership, the six or so families that attended began the study, Experiencing God, written by Henry Blackaby. The group's application of his seven realities would change their lives forever.
1. God is always at work around you.
2. God pursues a continuing love relationship with you that is real and personal.
3. God invites you to become involved with Him in His work.
4. God speaks by the Holy Spirit through the Bible, prayer, circumstances, and the church to reveal Himself, His purposes and His ways.
5. God's invitation for you to work with Him always leads you to a crisis of belief that requires faith and action.
6. You must make major adjustments in your life to join God in what He is doing.
7. You come to know God by experience as you obey Him and He accomplishes His work through you.
The families earnestly sought to "go where God is moving" as Blackaby taught. After prayerful consideration of what that meant to the group, and seeking the will of God, the members decided to disband as a traditional church and start an effort to reach out to those in need in the Conway area.
Their first opportunity was a Wednesday evening, 7 pm, free-meal ministry which began on July 11, 2001 in Brother T's restaurant. Main Street Mission in Russellville donated food for the meals. The volunteers prepared the meals at the church on Bronnie Lane and took it to Brother T's. Before everyone could go home, both locations had to be cleaned, and October, they decided to begin serving the meals at Christ Church.
In the meantime, the mission's dinner guests had begun inquiring about the possibility of food they could take home. The Main Street Mission donated those as well, in increasing numbers each week, and when the evening meal moved to Christ Church, the food box ministry had been born.
The way the mission got its name is an interesting story. The board members wrote down prospective names and put them in a hat. The name drawn was the "Soul Food Café Mission." It was Traci's idea. Rick wondered if the name indicated more "soul food" than "food for the body as well as food for the soul." Rick suggested they put the names back in the hat and draw again, saying, "If this is the name God wants for us, this will be the name we draw again."
And it was.
When a high rise retirement facility burned in Conway, Soul Food Café Mission was asked to be the recipient of the community's donations. This was when the mission expanded into furniture, small appliances, and clothing. However, the Christ Church facility and everything in it was destroyed by fire in July of 2006. Yet, the mission was unfazed, and concentrated their efforts on "regrouping, rebuilding and keeping up their extremely good work," as reported by the Log Cabin Democrat.
The Four Winds Church on Dave Ward Drive then offered the use of their gymnasium for the mission's storage and food box operation. In July of 2011, the mission celebrated their 10 year anniversary in that facility. It is estimated that during those ten years, the mission fed over 140,000 people, a number representing some citizens who repeatedly visit the site, and are dependent weekly upon the sustenance offered.
In August of 2011, this facility was also destroyed by fire. Three local churches immediately reached out to assist with a new location and the mission has been operating at Second Baptist Church in downtown Conway ever since.
Several years ago, as a result of multiple generous donations, the mission was able to build a structure on South Donaghey Avenue in Conway. That location has served primarily as a place for storage but will be the eventual central location for continued food box distribution, offering meals, health & beauty items and clothes, with the hope of expansion to include brief stays for homeless individuals, a Bible study room, a washeteria, and a furniture and small appliance showroom.
Funds for this operation are desperately needed to reach the goal of locating all of the mission's operations to the facility. Please click here to learn more about supporting the effort and joining God's work in the Soul Food Café Mission.

IV Nurse Day 2014—Never Stop Celebrating
Celebrating IV Nurse Day
IV Nurses around the globe celebrate this special day. Below are just some of the celebrations taking place and we'd love to hear your story too. If you're planning on celebrating, tell us what you're doing and we'd be honored to publish it.
Photo Gallery
Lower Columbia Chapter
The Lower Columbia Chapter of INS had a moving celebration on January 28, 2014. The theme for the evening was "Celebrating Pearls of Wisdom." The 50 guests were seated at dinner tables decorated with pearls, shells, and candles and each place-setting had an agenda decorated with a pearl.
The highlight of the evening was a tribute to one of our very special nurses, Maryann Dutton, who is a genuine treasured gem. She is 76 years old and still works full time. She served as our treasurer for at least 20 years! Also there to honor her was her sister Fran and daughters Pam and Jenny, who flew in from South Carolina for this special event.
The dinner was sponsored in collaboration between 3M and J&J, which included vital information on how the new reimbursement process affects clinical practice and product selection.
Vascular Access & Infusion Services Team, Wheeling Hospital, Wheeling, WV
Under the guidance of our nurse manager, Susan Hunt, RN, OCN®, and INS member, we celebrated IV Nurse Day by displaying information on the five departments through which we provide services:
(right table): Kathleen Blackwood, Val Van Ostran, Miriam Hitchman, Fanya Tokwaulu, Diane Orme, Debra Garcia
Central Florida Chapter
The Central Florida chapter held an educational session at which we received a special proclamation from the mayor declaring it IV Nurse Day in all of Orange County. [Photo is Chapter President William Miller with the official proclamation]
Barnes-Jewish Hospita, St. Louis, Mo
The Vascular Access Service at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, Mo., begins the celebration of IV Nurse Day by decorating a display board in the lobby of the South campus at the beginning of the week. Each year we pick a theme that highlights what the team is doing and includes a picture of every IV nurse on the Vascular Access Team. This year we wanted to highlight ECG-guidance technology and chose the phrase "We've got rhythm" to bring attention to the display. We end the week with a dinner filled with good food and fun! This year our dinner was held on Thursday, January 23, 2014.
3M, B Braun, Aesculap Academy, and Malaysian Infusion Nurses Special Interest Group (MINSIG) celebrated IV Nurse Day onJanuary 25, 2014, by conducting a seminar for nurses.
Each year, we set up a kiosk in the cafeteria displaying the accomplishments of our team and teammates over the past year. This year we have so much to celebrate since the last IV Nurses Day, such as increasing our skill sets through ultrasound use and midline placements; renaming ourselves the "Vascular Access Team"; increasing the number of CRNI®s on the team; winning the "Shooting Star Award" for our role in patient safety excellence related to PIV insertions; celebrating Patty Eady, RN, CRNI®, for winning the "Spirit of Nursing Award"; celebrating Susan Pate, RN, CRNI®, for being named "CRNI of the Year" for 2013; as well as celebrating Marlene Stout, RN, CRNI®, for being named president-elect of the North Carolina Infusion Nurses Society. It's been an excellent year for the Carolinas Medical Center's Vascular Access Team, and we look forward to accomplishing more infusion therapy excellence in 2014!

JDK 7: Small Library Treats
By Darcy-Oracle on Aug 18, 2011
With JDK 7 out the door, many writeups of the release have naturally focused on its larger features like Project Coin, NIO.2, the fork/join framework, and
invokedynamic. However, there are a number of small but useful library conveniences in JDK 7 that shouldn't be overlooked.
Library changes I think are handy include:

Solar power has become a lot cheaper lately, at least where there's plenty of sunshine. A sharp long-term fall in the price of solar cells has led The Economist magazine and others to declare that in sunny areas with high electricity prices, solar power is now cheap enough to compete without government subsidies.
Rory McIlmoil, manager of the energy program at environmental consulting firm Downstream Strategies, says that applies to places such as California.
"In those areas, solar is competing with other sources of energy that have higher electricity prices, which makes it a lot more likely that solar can compete."
The comparison is more difficult in Colorado because rates here are about 30 percent lower than California's. Still, Colorado leads the nation in solar and renewable-energy production.
McIlmoil says the price of building a solar power plant is nearing where it would be competitive with a new coal plant of a similar size. He says both cost more than a natural gas plant, but solar has the advantage of free fuel.
"Natural gas peaker plants have other costs associated with their operation that solar power does not. High fuel and, depending on the size, high maintenance costs for your traditional power plants versus solar power plants."
Peaker plants are auxiliary generating stations meant to kick in when power demand is high.
The U.S. solar industry still depends generally on significant federal subsidies, although McIlmiol points out that overall, the much larger fossil-fuels industries actually receive more in tax breaks. Solar is also limited by the inconsistent nature of sunshine, although he says power storage and flexible use of the grid are easing some of those issues. He says thanks to cheap solar cells, 2010 saw what was then a record level of solar power installed.
"And just one year later, twice that much was installed. Roughly 80 percent of the solar power that currently exists in the United States was installed just over the last three years."
One central criticism of renewable energy sources such as solar power is that they are too expensive. McIlmoil says that's rapidly changing, as solar's explosive growth shows.
More from The Economist is at goo.gl/SIb0d. The magazine also says at current growth rates, wind-generated power will surpass nuclear in about ten years.

Are you looking for a stock?
Try one of these
General Motors Co (GM-N) posted a third-quarter profit that fell 15 percent after a loss in Europe and forecast that operating profit in the current quarter would be flat from a weak fourth quarter in 2010.
GM vowed to slash costs and complexity to shore up margins in a sputtering economy but its fourth-quarter outlook disappointed investors and sent shares tumbling 8 percent Wednesday morning on the New York Stock Exchange.
Chief Executive Dan Akerson said the top U.S. automaker was not performing well enough, almost a year after a record IPO that capped the automaker's return from a U.S. government bailout and bankruptcy.
"GM delivered a solid quarter ... but solid isn't good enough; even in a tough global economy," he said.
Chief Financial Officer Dan Ammann said GM needed to eliminate "cost and complexity" from its operations, suggesting the kind of campaign Ford Motor Co has run under CEO Alan Mulally for nearly five years.
Ford, GM's closest rival, last month posted third-quarter net earnings that were nearly as high as GM's, on revenue that was 10 percent lower than GM's sales.
The contrast in operating efficiency is even more striking because Ford, the only U.S. automaker to have avoided bankruptcy, ended the third quarter with almost $13 billion US in debt, excluding its finance arm.
GM, which boasts that its taxpayer-funded restructuring left it with a "fortress balance sheet," ended the third quarter with less than $3 billion in long-term debt.
GM's third-quarter profit in Asia fell 29 percent as growth in China slowed and results in South America swung to a loss of $44 million from a gain of $163 million last year as its market share shrank due to an aging lineup of vehicles.
"We're definitely worried about this situation in South America, the slowdown in China," said Citi analyst Itay Michaeli, who has a "buy" rating on GM's shares.
"The big story today is going to be what looks like a pretty disappointing fourth-quarter outlook," he added, saying he had been expecting an improved performance in the current quarter.
GM's net income in the third quarter fell to $1.7 billion, or $1.03 a share, compared with $2 billion or $1.20 a share in the year-earlier period. Analysts had expected 96 cents a share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Revenue rose to $36.7 billion from $34.1 billion last year. That was in line with analysts' expectations.
Jefferies analyst Peter Nesvold said GM's performance and outlook mirrored the increasing uncertainty for economic growth outside North America.
"To some degree, this feels a little symbolic with what we're seeing globally," said Nesvold, who has a "hold" rating on the stock. "
Akerson said GM needed to improve its profit margins, which were 6 percent in the third quarter, down from 6.7 percent last year.
GM emerged from bankruptcy in 2009 after a $52 billion taxpayer-funded bailout. The U.S. Treasury owns 32 percent of GM's common shares, and how it unwinds that stakes remains an unanswered question.
As GM's share price has slipped well below last fall's $33 initial public offering price, Treasury officials have maintained they will not rush to sell the government's remaining stake.
Coming out of bankruptcy, Akerson and other executives said the company stripped out enough costs to make the business recession proof so it could thrive even in a recessionary auto market.
On Wednesday, GM said it expects fourth-quarter adjusted earnings before interest and taxes to be similar to the same quarter last year.
It backed away from its full-year target for Europe, saying it no longer expected to break even in Europe before restructuring costs due to deteriorating conditions there. On Monday, GM announced it would change top executive in Europe.
"We obviously have significant macroeconomic challenges to address," Ammann told reporters. "We're not relying on the big pickup in volume in the industry to bail us out if you like and we're very much focused on getting the break even point down further so we can get to a point where we're sustainably profitable."
GM also said the underfunded status on its U.S. pensions stood at $8.7 billion at the end of September, down from $10.8 billion at the end of June. However, that was according to the valuation set at the end of 2010 and will be revalued at the end of this year.
GM said it would record a $800 million noncash accounting gain in the fourth quarter as a result of taking retiree healthcare liabilities of C$3 billion off its balance sheet.

Lookout Mountain Bike Ride and Hill Climb Race
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
The pillar's are your starting point (for the race)
Ride Details
Distance: Up and down--9.2 miles
Elevation gain: 1,219 ft
Difficultly: Medium to hard for most
Map Strava
Video: Youtube
Route Segments
How I'd describe it to a friend: "It's curvy, usually windy, steep/but short. And it's very pretty."
Think of breaking this climb into three parts.
- The Beginning: Front to the north side (1.42 mi)
- The Middle: north side to the Windy Saddle Parking Lot (1.22 mi)
- The End: Windy Saddle to the sign for the grave (where you are throwing up in your mouth) (1.86 mi)
Lookout Mountain Hill Climb Race
Lookout Mtn. in Golden, CO is not only a local's favorite, but it's one of those rides that people seek out when visiting from out of state (as is evident by tourists in jeans throwing up all over themselves in the summer, using a rental bike with a bottle of Fierce Grape Gatorade stuck in the water-bottle cage (bless their hearts). Kidding. I've only seen 2 tourists actually throwing up. And they were definitely from sea-level. Lookout was also part of the final stage of the inaugural US Pro Challenge in the summer of 2011, further boosting its National popularity.
There are many variations of "Lookout". For all intents and purposes, I'm holding tried and true to the most popular version dubbed "Pillar to Post". Meaning the actual timed portion, (the popular race portion), starts at the stone pillars at the base near the Beverly Heights Park and ends at the sign (or post) for Buffalo Bill's Grave at the top.
*We'll talk about variations later.
I personally like to start my ride at the Starbucks on 13th and Washington in Golden (also the meeting point for the 10 a.m. weekly "show and go" Sunday rides). This gives you a bit of time to warm up as you meander through the Colorado School of Mines Campus on 13th and Maple, working your way to 19th st. However, you can also park at the lot on the northern edge of Beverly Height's Park for a quick lunch/after-work ride. The "pillars" can be seen from the lot.
This is nice as well, since you avoid having to cross 6th Ave/19th...and the worst part of Lookout--which I consider to be the stretch from 6th Ave./19th to the Pillars. This makes me wheeze and cry every time. There is also a porta-potty at the park and in general, the only people parked in the lot and along the park are...cyclists doing Lookout.
The beginning is awful in my opinion. Especially if you parked downtown. This is when you are thinking, "Wow. If it's like this the whole time, I hate it already." Unless you're a climber. Then you're just getting warmed up. Jerks. But it's full of twists and turns in a fun "Oooh! What's around THIS corner?" type of way. The answer is...more corners, more climbing annnnnnnd more wind. However, there are tons of gorgeous scenic views to distract you. Many fantastic photo ops await-especially during sunrise. As well as hang-gliders somewhere hovering above you.
Early part of the climb
The middle. Once you hit this part, you almost feel like you are going downhill...for around 6 seconds. A great place to catch your breath and spin your legs and maybe enjoy a reprieve from the wind. Don't get too used to it. Soon you are back on the East side. And if you look up, you'll see the famous M (where the incoming freshmen from the School of Mines make an annual pilgrimage carrying large, white-washed rocks to this location). It's also lit up rather nicely in the dark for all to see. http://www.mines.edu/Traditions
Right around here you might start to see the cult of wickedly fast long-boarders. They are a true joy to watch and they are the Lookout Mtn. Cyclist's true ally (in that drivers of motor vehicles appear to hate them even slightly worse than they do us). Give them a wave and watch how they surf the pavement with effortless grace.
The last 1/3. Once you reach the Windy Saddle Parking lot, you are 2/3 of the way done (at least I like to tell myself this). There are roughly 6 more twists and turns. A few right past Windy Saddle that warrant standing.
If it's during the winter months, this is also when you should watch for gravel, ice and snow. Not such a big deal coming up...but down is a different story. This is about the time when you are ready to be done with the climb. But it's also the spot with some of the most gorgeous scenery. So at some point, don't be afraid to turn off your internal Strava-based clock and just enjoy it.
A few more corners and you're done. Wait. Not yet. Now...um...no. One more, pass the lake on your left and you'll see the sign to Buffalo Bill's Grave on your right. That's "the post", my friend.
Alternative Routes from the Top
You can turn and go back down from here OR you can "Gateway-drug-ride it" with any of the following:
- Boettcher Mansion Loop (a quick extra 15-20 minutes)
- Mt. Vernon Country Club Climb (30-45 extra minutes)
- Down Hwy 40/plus a jaunt up Mother Cabrini
- Grapevine/Hwy 74
- Evergreen
- Squaw Pass
- Kerr Gulch
- Deer Creek
The list really goes on and on.
Once you get back to Golden, if it's summer time, head on down to the creek near 10th and Washington to ice your legs in the creek. The Farmer's Market runs every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Not to mention there are multiple coffee shops, ice cream parlors, deli's etc., plus many choices for locally brewed beer to satisfy all your needs.

The boyfriend of the late singer launches a stinging attack on authorities after he is cleared of rape.
17:44, UK, Thursday 13 December 2012
Reg Traviss, the boyfriend of the late singer Amy Winehouse, has been cleared of two counts of raping a woman who was sleeping in his bed.
Mr Traviss, 35, was acquitted by a jury at Southwark Crown Court after less than three hours of deliberation.
The complainant alleged Mr Traviss raped her twice at his central London flat after they had got drunk together on December 30 last year.
The 27-year-old said despite waking to find him attacking her she went back to bed with him to sleep but found him doing it again.
Film director Mr Traviss said the pair had consensual sex after the night out.
Leaving the court, Mr Traviss hit out at the authorities for not stopping "the train" of a very weak prosecution.
He said the police should have dropped the investigation after looking at CCTV that contradicted her version of events.
She had told investigators she was so drunk she could not stand up.
Footage showed her walking freely and unaided with Mr Traviss to get in a taxi to his flat.
He said: "I am really relieved, really relieved it's all over. I never did it.
"The last nine months or however long has been crazy. It feels like anyone can make a complaint and end up having their day in court.
"Being impartial, that's fair enough and I think it is right.
"I can understand why it's like that but in reality a train starts running and in this case the person who made the complaint wasn't investigated, the police didn't know anything about her."
Mr Traviss said he did not think "for one minute" that the police or Crown Prosecution Service thought he was guilty.
"I don't think the judge thought I did it either," he said.

Nowadays we all carry photos anywhere and everywhere, digitally, whether it be on our smartphone, tablet, laptop, or somewhere in the imaginary world of The Cloud. But there's still something charming about physical photos, spotlighting the very best of your memories with a tactile, real world presence. This DIY project offers a wonderful way to spotlight the very best of those photographic memories, converting them from the realm of the digital to the real world to admire and appreciate each and every day.photo transfer project, inspired by Esther of Wholly Kao's DIY post, the photo-to-wood transfer (above), a holiday gift idea with a year-around appeal. described here) Scissors Bone folder (edge of a gift card works) Matte gel medium (found in the acrylic paints section of the art store) Mod Podge with your choice of finish (we went with matte) 2 different brushes (can be bristles or foam) Towel rag Scrap paper & towels to protect your work surface
The interesting detail is you'll be transferring a flipped image, face down, as a transfer (similar to those fun iron-on transfers from our childhood). Let your transfer sit overnight and the next morning you'll rub off the excess paper fibers to reveal a colorful transfer of your image right on the wood, sealing it up with some Mod Podge.craft and art shops, and one could easily collage cut out photos all onto one wood surface instead of being limited to just one image at a time!

New Look For Wonder Woman
The buzz around Gal Gadot as the new Wonder Woman (in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice) isn't so much about the fact that Gadot is playing her, but what she is wearing as Wonder Woman. The new look is more reminiscent of Xena Warrior Princess and less like the original Lynda Carter Wonder Woman. When we asked around, most Wonder Woman fans miss the old patriotic red, white, blue and gold suit that she usually struts around in. The new bronzed gladiator look does not seem very All-American to fans.
Is The New Wonder Woman Makeup Similar To Kim Kardashian's Look?
Fans mentioned another important point, which is that the new Wonder Woman's makeup is more like Kim Kardashian's makeup look. Not convinced? Check out the slide show and video tutorial and you will see a distinct resemblance. The neutral colors, facial contouring and nude lip are basically the same as Kim Kardashian's look (with a little less mascara). However, it does go well with the bronzed warrior outfit Gadot is rocking.
Fans Miss The Red Lipstick
While the neutral/bronzy look is very becoming, fans say they miss the patriotic red lipstick that matched her glorious super heroine costume. Wonder Woman stood proudly for the USA, with her blue, star-spangled undies and red and gold eagle top. Kicking butt with her red hot boots, gold lasso and bullet deflecting bracelets. If they are going take away the color in Wonder Woman's costume, what's the harm in at least leaving her with a little red lipstick, just for the fans?
