Released: Apr 01st, 2002
Running Time: 120
Director: Antonio Adamo
Company: Private Media Group Inc
Cast: Alyssa (I), Sydnee, Black Widow, Dora Venter, Sandra Key, Petra Short, Barbarella (I) (Hungarian), Veronica Carso, Laura Angel, George (V) (Czech), David Perry, Susanna, Nick Lang
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
Stock multiple copies in the Private section. The talent looks like runway material.
This superb mix of anal, oral and d.p. action is quite impressive, with seven sex scenes and 11 energetic starlets. But director Antonio Adamo supplies quality with his quantity, making an excellent addition to the high-end Private Gold collection.
A little, blue China box receives plenty of play in the set-ups, but it is what happens at the China Box nightclub that leaves an impression. The orgy at the end of movie unfolds at the club after some stage dancing, and it is worth the price of admission by itself.
Blonde beauties Alyssa, Dora Venter and Veronica Carso, along with a brunette named Sydnee, get down with Nick Lang, George and an actor who wears a mask. Venter blasts out of the gates with a strong doggie sequence with Lang before the others really get their groove on. The lovely Alyssa fingers herself while waiting for an approach, and the guy in the mask obliges. Adamo makes use of multiple wide angles, occasionally showing three simultaneous fucks in the same frame, while at least two other female extras masturbate. Venter ends up getting d.p.'d, stealing the scene, if that's possible. Slow motion and black-and-white effects give it a stylized theme.
But the finale does not even involve the headliner, Laura Angel, who delivers a pair of fiery performances. In one scene, Angel services Perry and another uncredited guy in the men's lounge, leading to a d.p. In another scenario, the leggy brunette engineers an anal with Lang on a table during which she flirts beautifully with the camera. Other highlights in this powerhouse include an outdoor session with Petra Short and George on the hood of an Audi TT, and a threeway with Black Widow, Melinda and Perry to kick off the picture.

Featured High-Rise Market: Dallas, TX
Like most Texas cities right now the Dallas housing market is on fire. New residents are moving into the city every day because of company relocations and the booming local economy, and a growing number of them want to live in the Uptown Dallas area. That has fueled a mid-rise and high-rise building boom that is showing no sign of slowing down. Many new lease buildings and some luxury high-rises like Museum Tower and Blue Ciel are going up to meet the demand.
We love the variety of building styles Dallas has to offer residents, and the fact that many of them have a view of the skyline which is one of the most interesting and colorful in the nation. From the very modern W Residences and One Arts Plaza to the traditional luxury of the Ritz-Carlton and Vendome, Dallas has something to fit every style. There are even loft-style high-rises like 1999 Mckinney, The Beat and SoCo Lofts for those who don't want a more traditional condo. High-Rises in Dallas are also found in a variety of locations including Downtown where there has been an urban living renaissance in recent years. Uptown and Turtle Creek are where you will find the largest concentration of high-rises in Dallas though, some like 3525 dating back to the 1950's. There are even high-rises in the North Dallas area and in the suburbs if you want the high-rise lifestyle but don't need to be in the middle of the city.
Dallas is also a very pet-friendly condo building town and some buildings like The Mayfair and 588 Lofts are right next to large parks offering dog owners an easy place for the whole family to get exercise, including the four-legged members. Take a look at the wide variety of Dallas condos currently available and we think you'll see why we made it our featured market for this month.

Beta 2 on OSX not a recognized SDK or app folder
I'm having issues with the SDK on OSX 10.7.3. I uninstalled the beta 1 version, but was still having issues. I then noticed the .bash_profile did not remove the path to beta 1. After removing that and verifying the path and system variable are in the .bash_profile to the correct beta 2 path. When inside the SDK beta 2 folder, 'sencha' returns:
[WARN] The current working directory (/Applications/SenchaSDKTools-2.0.0-beta2) is not a recognized Sencha SDK or application folder. Running in backwards compatible mode.
Sencha Command v2.0.0 Beta

I have un-installed and re-installed, restarted the mac, etc. with no success. Any ideas? Are there files outside the Application folder that I may still need to clear out from beta 1?

Hi there. I am having the same issue on OSX 10.6.8. Did anyone find a resolution? Thanks.
11 Apr 2012 3:34 AM #4
Still no word. Still an issue. I wonder if this is due to the recent java patches?
12 Apr 2012 12:07 AM #5
Still not working
Not sure. I have tried everything but can't get it to work. We had high hopes here, but after two weeks of trying to get this product to work my organization wants to move on and try something more robust ... Probably go back to the faithful Adobe suite

SOLVED on MAC
I solved this problem on my mac like this:
Identify the folder of the SDK. In my mac is \Developer\SDKs
Download the free Sencha Touch 2 SDK and SDK Tools from the Sencha website.
Start the installation of SDK Tools and when the installation asks for the install path, choose \Developer\SDKs .
Extract the Sencha Touch 2 SDK zip file in the folder \Developer\SDKs
Open a line commad and go to the path \Developer\SDKs
Try now the command "sencha" or "sencha generate app GS ../GS"
So the important things are two
Install sdk tools and Sencha Touch 2 SDK in the path \Developer\SDKs
Execute the command only from path \Developer\SDKs
In my mac works good.

Hi there,
I had the same problem with my MacBook Pro running Lion OSX 10.7.4 -- SDK wasn't recognised from any folder.
The fix was quite funny though:
I added file .senchasdk to the Sencha folder. The content of the file is one dot (".")
in the terminal it can be something like this:
sudo nano /path/to/sencha/.senchasdk
so, in a nutshell, the installation is as following :
1. Install Sencha Tools and Sencha Touch 2 SDK in the same folder (e.g. /Users/username/Developer/SDKs
2. add missing .senchasdk to /Users/username/Developer/SDKs
3. try to type sencha now (staying in /Users/username/Developer/SDKs folder)
I also configured OSX Lion's Finder to show hidden files, like so (in the terminal):
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES

In a split vote Tuesday, county lawmakers approved an $80,000 study on the impacts that Connecticut's Millstone Nuclear Power Plant has on water temperature of the Long Island Sound. (more…)
In a split vote Tuesday, county lawmakers approved an $80,000 study on the impacts that Connecticut's Millstone Nuclear Power Plant has on water temperature of the Long Island Sound. (more…)
You could be forgiven for thinking this February has been colder than usual. It has. But just how much colder — a staggering 10.8 degrees below normal — has surprised even meteorologists, who say the month is on track to become Long Island's coldest February on record.
The consistent cold snap has caused a rare phenomenon, one not seen for nearly 40 years: Long Island Sound is freezing over, so to speak.
"I've never seen it freeze over like this," said Dominick Mavellia of Southold, whose home overlooks the frozen waters. "It looks like Antarctica … it's quite beautiful." (more…)
Three clean water initiatives with North Fork ties have been granted some significant federal funding as part of a larger effort to protect the Long Island Sound, federal officials announced Wednesday.
Project proposals from the environmental advocacy groups Peconic Green Growth, the Azuero Earth Project and the American Farmland Trust were among 22 awarded to receive a total of $1.3 million. (more…)
Each day, some two billion gallons of water are pumped from Long Island Sound into the Millstone Power Station in Waterford, Conn. — that state's only nuclear power plant — and used to help cool systems and support the station's two operating reactors. After it heats up, about 90 percent of that water is discharged back into the Sound at about 20 degrees warmer than when it was taken in, said Ken Holt, a spokesman for Millstone.
Suffolk County Legislator Jay Schneiderman (I-Montauk) wants to better understand what, if any, impact that heated water is having on the ecology of the Sound and has reached out to researchers at Stony Brook University's School of Atmospheric Science, hoping they can determine whether Millstone might be "overheating" the Sound's waters. (more…)
On Oct. 11, 1814, local historian Richard Wines said, James Galloway, commander of the British ship the HMS Dispatch, recorded in his official log that weather conditions in Riverhead that day were "fair." (more…)
A kayaker was rescued about five miles off the coast of Riverhead in the Long Island Sound this morning, saved quickly due to a radio beacon she had on hand in the event of an emergency.
According to the U.S. Coast Guard, the female — identified as 60-year-old Martha Bailie of Cheshire, Conn. — sounded a distress signal around 10:30 a.m.
Kevin Brooks, first assistant chief with the Riverhead Fire Department, said his crew received a call, though the woman had already been saved before they could get their boats in the water.
The USCG said a Suffolk County Police Department helicopter was the first to respond, making contact with the woman at 11:08 a.m. through the use of her Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon, which gave off a signal of her approximate location.
Shortly after the Suffolk chopper arrived, a rescue boat crew sent from Coast Guard Station New Haven helped the woman out of the water.
The woman was evaluated and was not in need of medical assistance, according to the Coast Guard.
"Her preparedness was a major factor in us rescuing her today," said Chief Petty Officer Frank St. Pierre. "We hope that others who are looking to go out on the water take into consideration that they should be prepared for the worst, because being prepared could help save your life."
An initial federal investigation has revealed the home-built plane that crashed in Long Island Sound last week went down last Sunday night, roughly 14 hours before it was first discovered floating off Mattituck.
The cause of the fatal crash that killed 41-year-old pilot Zubair Khan has not yet been determined, investigators said. (more…)
A rescue by a Good Samaritan in the Long Island Sound near Wading River Saturday night led to confusion when the empty boat was recovered by emergency personnel who had no knowledge of the save Sunday morning, according to a press release issued by the U.S. Coast Guard Sector Long Island Sound.

Share the post "Blaine Gabbert will impress 49ers with his arm, says Lagerman"
Jacksonville Jaguars radio broadcaster and former NFL defensive end Jeff Lagerman believes that San Francisco 49ers quarterback Blaine Gabbert is going to impress the Niners team once training camp starts. Lagerman believes that Gabbert is going to make the Niners very happy that they got a player as talented as him for just a 6th round draft choice.
The Niners traded a 6th round pick to the Jaguars in the off season to get the 24-year-old Gabbert, who the Jaguars had drafted in the 1st round [No.10] in the 2011 NFL draft. Gabbert, however, played poorly in his three season with the Jaguars, and they eventually lost confidence in him.
"I think when he shows up with the 49ers, he's going to impress people with his arm and his accuracy," Lagerman said to Sports Illustrated. They're going to be watching him practice and they're going to go, 'Holy (bleep), we only gave up a sixth round pick for this guy?"
Gabbert completed 53.3 percent of his passes for the Jaguars with a passing rating of 66.4. However, he was constantly pressured by defenses due to the poor offensive line of the Jaguars. In going to the Niners, Gabbert will have a lot more time to get his passes off and that should lead to better results in his throwing.
Dion Banks of Sports Illustrated believes that it's possible for Gabbert to follow the same career path as former 49ers Alex Smith, whose career was floundering until the Niners added Jim Harbaugh as the team's head coach. Harbaugh was able to turn Smith's career around and bring him back to the player they thought he would be when they drafted him in the 1st round in 2005. if Harbaugh is able to turn Gabbert's career around, then the 49ers might not need to pay their current quarterback Colin Kaepernick $20 million per season.
Harbaugh originally wanted to draft Gabbert to the 49ers in 2011, but the Niners chose to pick defensive end Aldon Smith instead. With Gabbert now joining the 49ers, Harbaugh now has the quarterback that he wanted to draft in the 1st round in 2011. The 49ers selected Kaepernick in the 2nd round in the same year, and he's had mixed results as the team's starter. He played well in the half season he played in 2012, but in 2013 he was poor throughout the entire season.
Gabbert, 6'4″, has the same size as Alex Smith, but with a much stronger arm. He was very accurate in college at Missouri, and it's possible that Harbaugh could return him back to the form that he has back then with a little work.

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed whether the Air Force has an adequate basis for obligating the $60 million in fiscal year (FY) 1995 funding for research, development, test, and evaluation. GAO noted that: (1) the Air Force has an adequate basis for obligating FY 1995 funding for satellite control network upgrades; (2) the satellite control system will aid the Air Force in establishing and refining guiding principles, evaluation criteria, and functional requirements to improve existing sub-architectures, and addressing existing network deficiencies; and (3) as the Air Force proceeds with analyzing its satellite control network, it will need to ensure that the network can be integrated into the Department of Defense's overall satellite control network and upgraded in a manner that is compatible with DOD-wide interests.

LONDON/MUMBAI India-focused miner Vedanta Resources is close to a deal to buy a 51 percent stake in Cairn India for $8 billion to $8.5 billion, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Friday.
The deal would represent Vedanta's first foray into oil and gas, and help Edinburgh-based Cairn Energy fund an expensive drilling programme in Greenland.
The two companies said on Thursday they were in talks about Vedanta, controlled by chairman Anil Agarwal, buying a stake in Cairn India, which is 62.4 percent-owned by the British firm.
Two sources said a deal to give Vedanta control of Cairn India was at an advanced stage, and one said a deal would likely be announced on Monday.
Cairn Energy and Vedanta declined to comment about the talks.
The proposed sale price suggests an around 25 percent premium to the valuation of Cairn India before news of the planned acquisition was first reported.
The bid raised concerns that Vedanta may become overstretched, given its current debt position, investment commitments and recent agreement to buy Anglo American Plc's zinc assets for $1.34 billion, analysts at Credit Suisse said on Friday.
A huge oil find in Rajasthan helped propel Cairn Energy from a small company to a member of the FTSE 100 Index of Britain's largest companies.
It spun off the Indian operations in January 2007 and now its exploration efforts are focussed on Greenland, where it is drilling the first well in over a decade.
"(A) Cairn India share sale would make sense for funding Greenland," analysts at Collins Stewart said in a research note.
Shares in Cairn India, the country's fourth-largest oil and gas company, closed up 4.4 percent, valuing the company at around $14 billion.
Vedanta shares added to Thursday's losses, trading down 5.3 percent on the London Stock Exchange at 1204 GMT, while Cairn Energy traded up 1.6 percent.
Cairn Energy may sell a stake in Cairn India, but would not exit the business, the head of the the company's local unit said on Friday.
"I don't think they are exiting the business. They are just selling stake," Rahul Dhir, chief executive of Cairn India told reporters after meeting Indian Petroleum Secretary S. Sundareshan.
Sundareshan said a company that has signed a production sharing contract (PSC) with the government of India for an oil exploration block would need the government's approval if a stake in the field or the company were sold.
"All PSCs have provisions for appropriate government approvals before such changes in the ownership are made," said Sundareshan, the top official in the oil ministry. Dhir did not provide further details.
"What I do know is that they (Cairn Energy) remain a very strong supporter of our business. If a new strategic shareholder is coming, it only underscores the belief that they have in our business," Dhir said.
Cairn India's Rajasthan field should soon begin to throw off large quantities of cash, which could help fund Cairn Energy's ongoing drilling commitments - thus allowing it to return cash to shareholders via a special dividend, a tactic explorers often employ after exiting a big find.
A strong stream of dividends from Cairn India would also allow Vedanta to pay interest on any debts taken on to finance its acquisition of shares.

BANGALORE, India -- Richie Ramsay of Scotland maintained a narrow one-stroke lead as he returned a 1-under 70 in the third round for an 11-under 202 total at the Indian Open on Saturday.
Ramsay, a two-time European Tour winner who held a three-stroke lead after the second round, fired three birdies but also bogeyed two holes because of some mediocre putting.
Jaakko Makitalo of Finland, looking for a maiden Asian Tour title, was a stroke behind on 203 after a third-round score of 68.
The Thai pair of
Seven players were within three strokes of Ramsay, who has held the lead since the first round.
"I found it tough to play with the wind blowing all over the place," Ramsay said. "I needed to make some putts which I didn't. It is surprising to be leading in a tournament with the way I putted. If I can putt better, then I think there's a better score out there."
Ramsay said he was not worried about his scoring.
"I don't have a particular number in mind. I just want to play my own game. If I play well, I can pose a number that people are going to chase me. I can only control what I can do. If they are making lots of birdies, I won't worry about that. I'll just do my game plan," he added.
Makitalo said he was looking forward to the challenge of starting the final round within one shot of the lead.
"It is always nice to have people and the television crew following me. You don't get mad and do stupid things. The only way I can ruin my game is if I lose focus, get mad and do stupid errors. I think that's how golf is supposed to be played, with the crowd behind you," he said.
Wiratchant, a former champion here, added that he was happy with his 4-under 67 that kept him in contention.
"Everything in my game clicked," the 2005 Indian Open winner said. "I've been hitting it quite good and making the putts. It was a solid round out there. I've been consistent this year and it is the same this week."
Wiratchant also praised the course, which is hosting the tournament for the first time.
"On this golf course, you must hit it on the fairway to score. If you can do that, you will play well. I've played in India for many years and this is probably the best course I've played on. I want to win again but I can't control what the others shoot," he said.

The Natural Wonders Of American Art
The Sunday Times of London called "American Sublime" "one of the most exciting and revelatory exhibitions of recent years." The Financial Times gushed, "putting it in front of the British public does them a considerable favor." What got the jaded English press so excited? An exhibition of American 19th-century landscapes.
On view at Tate Britain earlier this spring, "American Sublime" was the first such exhibition organized entirely by Europeans, and the British public's first look at America's golden age of landscape painting (1820-1880). It was an unexpected blockbuster -- attracting audiences 40% above projections. Opening Sunday at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, and up through Nov. 17 after a summer showing in Philadelphia, "American Sublime" now should knock the socks off the American heartland as well.
It sounds like a hokey song lyric, but the Sublime is a concept that shaped the aesthetic output of much of the 19th century. An exploration of the human response to nature -- that involuntary frisson of "delightful horror" felt in the face of its sheer majesty and boundlessness -- the Sublime most often has been associated with the works of such early 19th-century European artists as Casper David Friedrich, John Constable and J.M.W. Turner. But Turner scholar Andrew Wilton, a keeper and senior research fellow at the Tate (now retired), and Tim Barringer, a fellow Brit and a Pre-Raphaelite specialist at Yale, see 19th-century American landscape painting as nothing less than the culmination of this great Western tradition. With the spectacular New World landscape before them, these scholars explain, American painters carried the Sublime to its apogee.
This international appreciation is unprecedented. American landscape painting is the Rodney Dangerfield of Western art history -- consistently dismissed by European scholars as derivative and provincial. American art historians have praised it, but as uniquely "American," making no claim for its place on the world stage. In 1980 they dubbed these painters "luminists" and touted them as members of a newly discovered, all-American movement in the exhibition "American Light: The Luminist Movement 1850-1874" at the National Gallery.
To Andrew Wilton, then curator of prints and drawings at Yale's British Art Center, the pictures in "American Light" were a revelation. The prejudices of a lifetime fell away as he found himself looking not at a jerry-rigged school of "painters of American light," but at great landscapes painted in the tradition of the Sublime, as powerful in their own way as those by Turner -- his own specialty. It took more than 20 years to organize, but in "American Sublime" this respected scholar is finally bringing these works to the attention of the wider public he believes they deserve.
Here are many of America's greatest landscape masterpieces -- 94 works doggedly culled from 49 collections, depicting locations from Maine to the Puget Sound. In each, light, air, color and form have been infused with existential awe.
Atmospheric conditions turn already breathtaking views into near-apocalyptic visions: In "Twilight in the Wilderness, 1860" by Frederic Church, thickly forested New England hills surround a shining lake and then stretch away as far as the eye can see. Yet even this infinite expanse is dwarfed by the drama on high -- a dramatic, roiling mass of clouds lit to crimson, pale yellow and purple by the setting sun. The huge scope of Albert Bierstadt's "Storm in the Rocky Mountains -- Mt. Rosalie, 1866" accommodates several different weather systems: A dramatic thunderstorm darkens some of its acres of craggy peaks and green valleys, while others remain serenely sunlit. Size, however, is not required to make magic, as a roomful of small, immediate oil sketches by Bierstadt, Church, Jasper Francis Cropsey and Sanford Robinson Gifford deftly proves.
"Delightful horror" can be evoked many ways. In Martin Johnson Heade's "York Harbor, Coast of Maine 1877," hazy, still air and the calm water of a coastal inlet merge seamlessly at the horizon, creating endless space. But the mood is less awe-struck than poignant, producing a heightened awareness of the brevity of that moment of almost spiritual perfection -- and ultimately, of life itself. Though less affecting, the theatrical "The Course of Empire, 1836" by Thomas Cole, an iconic series of five paintings chronicling the rise and fall of a great civilization, serves as the show's "philosophical primer," making its allegorical content -- man's insignificance in the face of nature -- dramatically explicit. Painted decades after the Cole, Thomas Moran's geological extravaganza, "Grand Canyon of the Colorado, 1892," still makes us shiver with the same realization.
It wasn't the chance to marvel at "natural wonders" that wowed the audiences in London and Philadelphia. Those viewers were thrilled by works of art -- created by painters who, like Turner or Constable, were able to imbue their subjects with an emotional power that transcends even an imposing reality. Messrs. Wilton and Barringer let these works speak for themselves -- eschewing the "cultural artifacts" (Civil War memorabilia, photographs of trains steaming west) that would have reduced them to illustrations for "the Great American Saga."
Not even post-9/11 boosterism could do that, but this is indeed a good time to enjoy a dazzling visual experience that is American in every way.
Though the Institute of Arts' permanent collections can't make the artistic connections that this show is all about -- there's not a Turner canvas in sight -- the show's thesis is transforming, deftly identifying the paintings' specific emotional clout and establishing their international context. Even blasé members of the American art community are reporting that "American Sublime" has opened their eyes.

Maybe they just want to be liked...in the Facebook sense...not in the real world sense.
I wonder if any of the $16 Billion the Fed lent GE was tagged for buying those Volts. So government money is used to make the cars and then government money is used to buy them. Seems like the government is paying twice for the same thing.
You forgot some from the same wikipedia link:
According to Frank Lambert, Professor of History at Purdue University, the assurances in Article 11 were "intended to allay the fears of the Muslim state by insisting that religion would not govern how the treaty was interpreted and enforced. John Adams and the Senate made clear that the pact was between two sovereign states, not between two religious powers."[17] Article 11 has also been cited by 21st-century church/state separatists as one of several documents — including the Federalist Papers papers and the Declaration of Independence — that demonstrated, according to Author Brooke Allen, that the Founding Fathers "... were not religious men".[18]
What's convenient though is that the people who are promoting AGW are the same people who are questioning the credentials/intelligence of anyone who questions their conclusions. If it was such a serious issue you'd think they would have been much more transparent in their data and methodologies. Gaming the journals and the incestuous nature of the AGW cliques doesn't help their cause either. I may be naive but to me one of the responsibilities of being a scientist is to educate humanity on the nature of things...instead these scientists seem more interested in doing the journal/funding circle jerk then answering any questions that may impact their standing in their clique or their funding streams.
If they are wrong, partially wrong thats fine...it's the nature of science. But if you adamantly say you are correct you better be able to prove it...attacking anyone who raises concerns just demeans the profession.
Does it make you sick because you really believe it's wrong or because it calls into question the justification for government meddling you do agree with?
Actually you'll find plenty of those crappy toys in the third world and developing countries. The excess get shipped there and are sold as regular toys or given as gifts because they are cheap. Without that some kids there wouldn't have any toys at all...they don't know they are excess crap toys from the US or Europe. Kids where I live at the moment are still playing with Happy Meal toys from the 80's and it's nice to see the old toys again since now everything now is from cross marketing agreements with Disney or whoever.
I have the RZ67 and have rented the back for a day to play with it. It's pricey but pretty nice if you can justify it.
Dad? Is that you?
Yet another example of my point....why do you insist on bringing politics into every discussion. I never mentioned politics but you assumed that is what I was talking about. Some might think that you are one of the very people you seem so worried about.
The ideological master I was referring to was not a political one but an internal one based (fear, pride, desire, etc.) Moronic statements are on par with factual statements because there are no facts....just probabilities.
How many subjects throughout history have been considered facts only to considered moronic statements later? A political viewpoint is just that...a political view from a single point of observation. Based on your argument the world should still be flat with a burning disc of holy fire above it.
The problem you have with FOX is that same problem with all major media outlets....it's not news it's entertainment. Political debate in major media is just gladiator games for the intellectual class. You just choose FOX because it is the current meme within your peer/social group so it's safe and you get to bond with your playmates.
You my friend are a child...you are reacting on an emotional level and not a logical one. The only difference between you and the idiots portrayed in Idiocracy is that they knew they where idiots whereas you think you are smart...you are doing yourself a disservice.
Ummm, what does FOX news have to do with it? No one mentioned them in this thread.
Actually stupidity is a point of view as you so aptly demonstrate in your post. OED defines stupid as lacking intelligence or common sense both of which can be corrected/adjusted/modified via new experiences. Most of what people on
Your reference to FOX News is a perfect example of this. Your ideology is limiting your ability to see the world as it really is and and that FOX News is irrelevant. The existence of FOX News just allows you a lens through which you can focus your ideology. Don't worry though when you burn out that lens you will be given another from your ideological master.
People always referencing the movie Idiocracy make me afraid it is already true. Denigrating other people because of the choices they make seems to be the modern equivalent of racism. The smartest person today could be proven an idiot tomorrow and vice versa....thats life.
Are you by chance an Engineer?

Letters to the Editor
Regarding Phil Hughes' article in the December issue of LJ, please help push further development of Arena. Netscape is huge, slow, and our only option. I now use Lynx for almost all my browsing because Netscape is so slow on my system. Arena runs well, but cannot handle forms, one of the most functional features of a web browser. Like many people, I am not interested in background patterns and enhanced fonts. I want easy access to information, which I am unable to get with Netscape or the current Arena.

Linux Journal has a sister publication called WEBsmith™, and its editor, Jon Gross, was recently involved in a World Wide Web conference. We asked him to respond:
I (and many others) agree with your summation of the status of the browser selection available at this point. In December, I was at the 4th International World Wide Web conference in Boston, and a group of us started talking, and decided it was time to start a Free Browser project, modeled on the Linux community, to address exactly this problem. We are putting a mildly cohesive framework together before "going public" but your input is certainly appreciated. The Linux community has much to offer this project, and I think we can definitely build a better mousetrap. A mailing list has been set up. See www.base.com/gordoni/web/www4-bof.html for more information.

"The chmod Command" by Eric Goebelbecker (LJ #21) was an excellent introduction to the sometimes counterintuitive file and directory permissions of Unix-like operating systems. Near the end, however, there is a misstatement concerning the "sticky bit". This bit actually has a very important, though obscure, use on Linux systems.
The sticky bit got its name on early Unix systems in the days before demand-paged virtual memory. If the sticky bit of an executable file was set, after the program exited a copy of its text segment was saved in the system's swap area, i.e., it would "stick around" for the next use. This feature was used to make frequently-run programs load a little bit faster. This meaning of the sticky bit is no longer particularly relevant.
Although it is not a part of the POSIX specification, recent System V and Berkeley Unix systems defined a new meaning for the sticky bit. If a directory's sticky bit is set, a file in the directory may be deleted only by the file's owner, by the directory's owner, or by root. This provides an additional measure of security for directories such as /tmp. Linux, of course, supports this useful feature. For example, on my system:
$ ls -ld /tmp drwxrwxrwt 3 root root 1024 Jan 1 09:49 /tmp $ ls -l /tmp -rw------- 1 roman users 0 Jan 1 09:49 bar -rw------- 1 root root 0 Jan 1 09:47 foo $ rm /tmp/bar $ rm /tmp/foo rm: /tmp/foo: Operation not permitted
Without the sticky bit, I would have been able to remove root's file from /tmp.

Mea Culpa. Thank you for pointing out that mistake. It should never have passed through editing.
I read your article on LISP-Stat last August with much interest, and have just got around to trying it out. One inconsistency: the article claims that the "dld" library is essential. This is not true; if you build Lisp-Stat from scratch, it will use the now-standard "dlopen" method for dynamic loading (based on the ld.so library) if it is present. In fact, "dld" no longer seems to work with current "a.out" style static libraries, let alone ELF libraries.
I compiled the thing for ELF using gcc 2.7.0 and everything worked just great. The compile time is rather long (about an hour on a 486-33 with 20M memory), especially since a lot of the code is in LISP. All of the book examples worked perfectly. A marvellous way to review long-forgotten stats material.
You are doing an excellent job at presenting intriguing applications for Linux. Please keep up the great work!

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
On Demand
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

The Color of Magic (Mass Market Paperbound)
On Our Shelves Now
Imagine, if you will . . .
a flat world sitting on the backs of four elephants who hurtle through space balanced on a giant turtle. In truth, the Discworld is not so different from our own. Yet, at the same time, very different . . . but not so much.
In this, the maiden voyage through Terry Pratchett's divinely and recognizably twisted alternate dimension, the well-meaning but remarkably inept wizard Rincewind encounters something hitherto unknown in the Discworld: a tourist Twoflower has arrived, Luggage by his side, to take in the sights and, unfortunately, has cast his lot with a most inappropriate tour guide a decision that could result in Twoflower's becoming not only Discworld's first visitor from elsewhere . . . but quite possibly, portentously, its very last. And, of course, he's brought Luggage along, which has a mind of its own. And teeth.
About the Author

[0001]This invention claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application
No. 61/117,103 with the title, "Image Capture and Tracing System and
Method" filed on Nov. 22, 2008 and which is hereby incorporated by
reference. Applicant claims priority pursuant to 35 U.S.C. Par 119(e)(i).
The present invention relates to devices and methods used for capturing
three dimensional scenes or two dimensional images by means of tracing on
a transparent medium. It also relates to devices and methods used for
transferring also by means of tracing, images from a transparent medium
onto a sheet of paper.
[0002]Prior art describe several devices and methods that artists can use to capture images manually. In general this prior art falls into two groups. The first group includes methods and devices that employ a transparent sheet located between the artist and the scenery that he wants to capture. To capture the image the artist traces the image that he sees on the transparent sheet. In so doing it is essential that he maintains a fixed point of view to ensure that the image that he sees through the transparency remains stationary with respect the transparency. This prior art group includes U.S. Pat. No. 3,678,589 by R. Baker, U.S. Pat. No. 5,217,376 by Gosselin, U.S. Pat. No. 5,580,250 by McKewen, U.S. Pat. No. 6,785,972 by Goldberg, U.S. Pat. No. D379,371 by Nicholl, and U.S. Pat. No. 9,409 by Richter.
[0003]The second group of prior art inventions includes light boxes that allow the user to transfer by tracing an image from a transparent medium onto a sheet of paper. This prior art includes U.S. Pat. No. 2,701,838 by Loesch, U.S. Pat. No. 3,484,952 by Coldren, U.S. Pat. No. 5,217,293 by Kobzeff, U.S. Pat. No. 5,224,770 by Simmons et al, U.S. Pat. No. 7,073,913 by Wa, and U.S. Pat. No. D194,517 by Banks.
[0004]None of the prior art combines in an efficient, economical and reliable manner the device for and method of, capturing an image on a transparent sheet, with the device for, and method of, tracing the image from the transparent sheet onto a sheet of paper.
[0005]Further features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention over the prior art will be more fully understood when considered with respect to the following detailed description claims and accompanying drawings.
[0006]FIG. 1 illustrates the invention as it is used to trace a three dimensional scene on a transparent panel.
[0007]FIG. 2 shows the construction of the two-panel clipboard onto which images are traced.
[0008]FIG. 3 provides a view of the light box with which traced images are transferred onto paper.
[0009]FIG. 4 describes the method of use of the invention starting with the capture of the image by tracing it on a transparent panel, flipping the panel to protect the tracing, and then using the light box to trace from the transparent panel onto a sheet of paper.
[0010]FIG. 5 illustrates how the two-paneled clipboard can be used to capture a two dimensional image from a book.
[0011]FIG. 6 shows how the light box can be used to transfer an image from a transparent panel onto paper.
[0012]FIG. 7 illustrates a variation of the alignment sight in an erect and deployed position.
[0013]FIG. 7A shows the variation in the design of the alignment sight of FIG. 7 in a horizontal and stowed away position.
[0014]This invention is an image capture device for manually transferring an image from a three dimensional scene or from a two dimensional picture onto paper comprised of a two-paneled foldable transparent clipboard. The clip board comprises a first panel equipped with a paper clip and a second panel hinged to the first panel. The image capture device also includes a light box and an erasable pen.
[0015]This invention can capture images that prior art devices cannot trace because all previous devices require intense back-light. If light cannot traverse an object or if the surface of the object cannot be illuminated then its image cannot be captured. The invention allows the capture of images from walls, pictures, books, TV screens, computer images and more without having light go through the image or item.
[0016]Another advantage of this invention is that it allows the user to trace a mirror image of the object by flipping the panels after the image has been captured.
[0017]Yet one more advantage of this invention is that an image of an object can be captured and traced without touching the object.
[0018]This invented device and its operation are illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3. The device comprises the following elements:
[0019]a) a two-paneled transparent clipboard 11;
[0020]b) a light box 12;
[0021]c) an aligning sight 13;
[0022]d) an erasable pen 14;
[0023]Two-Paneled Transparent Clipboard 11
[0024]Unlike ordinary clipboards, the two-paneled transparent clipboard 11 shown in FIGS. 2 and 2A comprises two transparent rectangular panels 31 and 32 hinged together at one of their sides. FIG. 2 provides a view from one side and FIG. 2A provides a view from the reverse side. The panels 31 and 32 comprise a plastic frame 34 and 39 respectively which hold the transparent sheets 35 and 36 respectively. These sheets are made of transparent material such as glass or Plexiglas®. The frames 34 and 39 are hinged together along one of their sides, typically, but not necessarily, the smallest side. Both frames 34 and 39 and the hinge 33 can be manufactured as a single piece of plastic.
[0025]The clipboard 11 can have two folded configurations, each configurations being fully folded or partially folded as in the shape of a V. The first folded configuration is dubbed the image capture configuration because it is used to capture the image of an object by mans of an erasable pen, for example. The second folded configuration is dubbed the tracing configuration because it is used to trace the image onto a sheet of paper. For explanatory purposes, each side of each panel shall be labeled: the second side of the first panel 32 and the first side of the second panel 31 are defined as being nearest to each other when the clipboard is folded in the image capture configuration; the first side of the first panel 32 and the second side of the second panel 31 are defined as being nearest to each other when the clipboard is folded in the tracing configuration. The folded configuration can be fully folded such that each the panels are in contact with each other, or partially folded such that they form a V.
[0026]The hinge 33 could be manufactured as a living hinge. A living hinge is a thin flexible hinge made from plastic that joins two rigid plastic parts together, allowing them to bend along the line of the hinge. It is typically manufactured in an injection molding operation that creates all three parts at one time as a single part. Polyethylene and polypropylene are considered to be the best resins for living hinges, due to their excellent fatigue resistance. It is clearly obvious to anyone versed in the art that other kinds of hinges are possible and this invention is not limited to the living hinge configuration.
[0027]One of the panels 32 contains a large paper clip 37 along its hinge side. The other panel 31 is configured with an opening 38 along its hinge side to accommodate the passage of the paper clip 37 when the two panels 31 and 32 are folded together.
[0028]The frames 34 and 39 may also include an opening 40 on the side opposite the hinge side to facilitate the handling of the clipboard 11.
[0029]Light Box 12
[0030]This component is illustrated in FIG. 3. It is comprised essentially of a rectangular box 41, with an open top and equipped inside with a light generation device 42 such as a neon tube. This light generation device 42 can be powered by household current or by batteries to make this device portable outdoors. As shown in FIG. 1, the inside of the light box 12 is lined with a highly reflective coating 43 to maximize the illumination of the light generation device 42. One should note that whereas conventional light boxes are equipped with a fixed transparent cover 44 on their top to hold the original image document and the tracing paper onto which the image is transferred, in this invention, this cover 44 is not essential since the two-paneled transparent clipboard 11 can take its place as shall be described below in the paragraph discussing how the invention is utilized. However, such a fixed transparent cover 44 can be convenient and can be protective of the illumination device 42, and is therefore included as an option in this invention.
[0031]The light box 12 is equipped on its long edges with a number of notches 45 to hold the two-paneled clipboard 11. These notches 45 allow the user to select how far from his eyes he can mount the two paneled clipboard 11 as demonstrated in FIG. 1.
[0032]Alignment Sight
[0033]The light box 12 holds, rotatably and slidably mounted on its side, an alignment sight 13 that allows the user to maintain a fixed perspective with respect the scene which he wants to capture. The sight 13 is essentially a bar fastened at one end to the light box 12 by a butterfly nut 52, and having at the other end an aperture 51 through which the user can observe a scene from a fixed perspective. To utilize the sight 13 the user untightens the butterfly nut 52, slides the sight 13 to a desired position along the slot 53 visible in FIG. 1, and retightens the butterfly nut 52. If the user does not need the alignment sight 13, he can put it back in its original position as shown in FIG. 3. As is evident to those versed in the art, other options exist to fasten this aligning sight to the side of the light box such as VELCRO® strips and magnets. This aligning sight 13 is not absolutely essential to the invention since the user can always trace a landmark first and then use the trace of the landmark as an aligning sight. The aligning sight 13 is therefore included as an option in this invention.
[0034]A design variation of the alignment sight 13 is shown in FIG. 7. The sight 13 is a bar hinged to one of the bottom edges of the box 41 by mean of hinge 54. The sight can be deployed as shown in FIG. 7 or stowed away under the box 41 as shown in FIG. 7A. Persons versed in the art will recognize that several means are possible for keeping the sight erect as in FIG. 7. For example, one means is to rely on friction in the hinge. Another means is to use a magnet to latch the sight 13 to the box 41. The magnet can be embedded in the box 41 and the sight 13 can be made of a ferromagnetic metal or contain a ferromagnetic metal. Yet another possible means is to use VELCRO® strips between the sight 13 and the side of the box 41.
[0035]Rubber pad 55 mounted under the box 41 can provide enough space between the box 41 and its supporting surface to accommodate the stowed sight 13. Alternatively this space can be made available by shaping a groove in the bottom of the box in the shape of an inverted U slightly larger in size than the sight 13 and into which the sight can fit when it is stowed away.
[0036]Erasable Pen
[0037]Since the device is intended to be reusable, tracing could be performed by means of an erasable pen or marker 14. For example, a dry-erase type pen would be very convenient. In such a case, the panel on which the image of the object is captured should be made or coated with a material onto which the ink from an erasable pen can be applied and erased.
[0038]Utilization of the Invention
[0039]FIG. 4 illustrates the utilization of the invention. The first step 1 is to capture an image on the transparent clipboard 11. If the image to be captured is three dimensional he can use the configuration 1 illustrated in FIG. 4 also shown in FIG. 1 wherein the two-paneled clipboard 11 is erected as an inverted V, on the light box 12, wedged into the notches 45 on the edges of the light box 12. The user can, at his option, use the aligning sight 13 mounted on the side of the light box 12.
[0040]If the image to be captured is two dimensional, the user can use the configuration 2 shown in FIG. 4 as well as in FIG. 5. He positions the panel 31, the one without the clip on top of the image to be traced. The user then traces the image on the panel 31 using the erasable pen 14.
[0041]After having traced the image 71, the panel 31 holding the image is facing the user as shown FIG. 4 according to configuration 3.
[0042]As illustrated in configuration 4, the user then flips the two-panel clipboard such that the traced image 71 is protected between the two panels as shown in configuration 4 and he is now facing panel 32.
[0043]He can, then, as illustrated in FIG. 4 configuration 5 as well as in FIG. 6, place the two-panel clipboard 11 on top of the light box 12, insert a sheet of paper 61 inside the clip 37 and trace on the paper 61 the image drawn on the panel. It is clear that the light box cover 44 shown in FIG. 1 is not essential in this operation. However, as mentioned above, it is included in this invention as an option.
[0044]This method of transferring images can transfer images to any object translucent enough to be capable to be traced on such as, but not limited to, paper, fabric and translucent plastic. For example the method could be used to draw on T-shirts. This invention offers several unique ways to copy and trace images as explained in the examples below:
Example 1
[0045]Tracing a picture or image from a book or magazine: [0046]a) taking a photo or image and hold it in place on panel 32 using the provided clip; [0047]b) folding the panel 31 over the photo or image, as to protect it; [0048]c) using a dry-erase pen and trace the image onto panel 31; [0049]d) when your tracing is complete, removing the photo or image from the clip and fold panel 32 over panel 31 so that the traced image is now protected; [0050]e) placing a blank sheet of paper into the clip; [0051]f) placing both clear shields onto the light-box and turning on the light. The image can now be traced on paper or fabric such as a tee-shirt.
Example 2
[0052]Tracing a vertical image from a wall, TV, or hanging object: [0053]a) holding up the panels onto an image/photo on a wall; [0054]b) using the dry-erase pen to trace the image onto panel 31; [0055]c) after the image is traced, folding panel 32 on top of panel 31 to protect the traced image; [0056]d) inserting a sheet of paper into the clip and place the folded clipboard onto the light-box; [0057]e) tracing the captured image onto the paper.
Example 3
[0058]Making landscapes or portraits: [0059]a) Placing the two panels upright as an inverted V onto the light-box by separating them slightly at the unhinged end and using the notches on the edges of the light box to stand them up, thereby forming a transparent easel; [0060]b) maintaining a steady point of reference by using the sight attached to the end of the light-box; [0061]c) tracing an image of anything from a person to a mountain scene on panel 31 using the dry-erase pen; [0062]d) after the image is traced, folding panel 32 on top of panel 31 to protect the traced image; [0063]e) inserting a sheet of paper into the clip and place the folded clipboard onto the light-box;
Example 4
[0064]Creating mirror images or combining more than one picture to create beautiful collages: [0065]a) capturing an image as described in the previous examples; [0066]b) flipping the folded clipboard to provide a mirror image of the image captured on panel 31; [0067]c) clipping a sheet of paper on the back of panel 31. Since in this configuration, the clip 37 is on the wrong side of panel 31, the clip 37 has to be flipped from one side to the other side of panel 31, or an independent clip second clip may have to be used; [0068]d) tracing the image.
Example 5
[0069]Collages or mashups can be generated by capturing several images and tracing the combination on a single sheet of paper.
[0070]While the above description contains many specificities, the reader should not construe these as limitations on the scope of the invention, but merely as exemplifications of preferred embodiments thereof. Those skilled in the art will envision many other possible variations within its scope. Accordingly, the reader is requested to determine the scope of the invention by the appended claims and their legal equivalents, and not by the examples which have been given.

Daily Living – Drug Pumps
After the initial healing period (6 to 8 weeks), the drug pump will become a routine part of your day. In fact, clinical studies show that many people who did not get chronic pain relief from oral medications were able to improve their daily activities with a drug pump. (Results may vary.)1-5
- Seeing the Pump
- Doctor Visits
- Refilling and Adjusting the Pump
- Understanding Pump Alarms
- Caution with Activities
- Realistic Expectations
- Removing the Pump
Seeing the Pump
Your pump is placed near the surface of your skin for refill access. You may be able to see the pump under your skin when it is not covered with clothes, or if you are wearing fitted clothes. Depending on your size and shape, where the pump is implanted, and the size of your pump, the pump may not show at all.
Doctor Visits
You will need to return to your doctor's office periodically for checkups and to have your pump refilled. The medication in your pump needs to be refilled every 6 weeks to 6 months, depending on your dosage and the size of your pump. The frequency of refills depends on the drug concentration and the amount of pain medication you receive every day.
Refilling and Adjusting the Pump
The doctor fills the pump with pain medication using a needle. You and your doctor must work together to find the dose of medication that is most comfortable for you. Dosing can be customized to accommodate your needs at different times of the day/night or week.
Understanding Pump Alarms
Your pump is equipped with alarms that will sound when:
- The pump needs to be refilled
- The pump needs to be replaced
- There is a problem with the pump
The alarm signals a critical or noncritical event in your infusion system. A critical alarm is a 3-second, dual-tone alarm. A critical alarm means that therapy has stopped or will stop soon. A noncritical alarm is a single-tone alarm. A noncritical alarm requires a doctor or nurse's attention because it may mean therapy will stop at some point in the future.
If an alarm sounds, call your clinician as soon as possible.
Here is what the critical and non-critical alarms sound like:
Please note that the volume of the alarm heard from your computer may be louder than the volume of the alarm heard from your implanted pump.
After your implant, ask your doctor to temporarily program your pump to sound the alarm in his or her office so you will recognize the sound if an alarm goes off in the future.
Caution With Activities
Some movements may stretch or put strain on the catheter or on the stitches that hold your pump in place. Your doctor may give you guidelines for activities to avoid.
Although the catheter is made of flexible and durable materials, it is still subject to wear. Excessive or repetitive bending, twisting, bouncing, or stretching can move or stretch the catheter. This damage may require surgery to repair or possibly replace the catheter.
Realistic Expectations
Realistic expectations are key to satisfaction with any pain treatment. It is important to remember that your pump will not eliminate the source of your pain or cure any underlying disease, but may help you to better manage your pain.
Removing the Pump
If you no longer need the pump or change your mind about the pain treatment, your doctor can turn it off or surgically remove the system.

Metro Briefing | New York: Brooklyn: Bonanno Family Indictment
By William Glaberson (NYT) (Compiled by Anthony Ramirez)
Published: March 20, 2002
Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn unsealed a sweeping racketeering indictment yesterday of 13 people they said had ties to organized crime. The defendants included a man prosecutors identified as Anthony Graziano, the third-ranking member of the Bonanno crime family. The indictment was the culmination of the largest investigation of the Bonanno family since the infiltration of the organization more than 20 years ago by an undercover agent, Joseph D. Pistone, who wrote the book, ''Donnie Brasco: My Undercover Life in the Mafia.''

Benefiting Cardinals Care
The St. Louis Cardinals and our charitable arm, Cardinals Care, is dedicated to Caring for Kids! This mission statement is achieved through a variety of programs backed by our players, coaches and front office staff, allowing for cash grants to support organizations in and around St. Louis. Redbird Rookies, the flagship program of Cardinals Care, affords thousands of kids the opportunity to play ball and learn valuable life lessons in the process!


text: We've used many different ecommerce plugins for WordPress, and by far WooCommerce is the best we've seen. It's easy to use, easy to extend with new features and functionality, easy to integrate into themes, and is the most progressive in terms of ongoing development. As a result, we stopped developing add-ons for all other platforms and now focus exclusively on WooCommerce. Kudos to the WooCommerce development team.
