Build a MythTV Box without Breaking the Bank
At my wedding, I received an important piece of advice from a couple whose wedding we had attended a couple years earlier: get a second TV. The idea is that while she's watching America's Next Top Model, I can watch hockey or mud wrestling or something. However, a much better solution to that age-old problem (and many others) is to set up a DVR system using Isaac Richards' open-source MythTV software. That way, we can watch whatever shows we want at any time.
This article shows how to build a MythTV box on a budget and how to avoid some common pitfalls. The following is the hardware you'll need:
A computer: the first step is to get your hands on an old computer. You already may have one gathering dust in the basement. I bought one for $70 on Craigslist. I was cautious and chose one with a 1.6GHz AMD Athlon processor. You should be able to get by on much less by minimizing the load on your processor. Price: $0–$70.
Tuner card: you need a tuner card to take the digital or analog television signal and turn it into something your computer understands. The best ones for use with Linux are the Hauppauge WinTV-PVR series; the PVR-150 is a single tuner with a built-in MPEG encoder, the PVR-350 is a single tuner with built-in MPEG encoder and decoder, and the PVR-500 has two tuners with an MPEG encoder only. I bought my first PVR-150 for $85 (in Canada), including a remote and IR blaster (I'll explain what that is later). Regular prices in the US range to as low as $60. I bought my second one on sale for $25. I recommend starting with one PVR-150, and then buying another later if you feel the need. Price: $25–$85.
Hard drive: your computer likely already has a hard drive, but it's probably not larger than 8GB, and you'll need a bigger one. The size depends on how much of a library you plan to build. I bought a 250GB hard drive at first, then picked up a 500GB external drive later on. Price: $60–$80 for 250GB; $90–$150 for 500GB.
Video card: the choice of video card is very important, particularly if it's an older model. You may need to buy a new video card if your existing one doesn't have a TV-out connection. NVIDIA has the best Linux support, and you can run into a lot of problems with an older ATI card, as they haven't released proprietary drivers for them. Price: $0–$60.
DVD drive: if you want to watch DVDs or burn recorded programs to DVD, you need a DVD-ROM or DVD-RW drive. I definitely recommend this, as they are not too expensive these days. Price: $35.
I like Ubuntu and use it on my other computers as well, so I decided to install Mythbuntu—a MythTV-centered distribution based on Ubuntu. Unfortunately, I had trouble installing both Mythbuntu and Ubuntu itself—probably because of my RAM limitations—so I installed Xubuntu (a lightweight Ubuntu running the Xfce desktop manager) instead. The install was quite easy; however, one unexpected (but easily fixed) problem emerged. I couldn't boot after successfully installing the operating system. The GRUB bootloader would spit out "Error 18". The problem turned out to be that on older computers, the BIOS can't handle partitions larger than 8GB. So, you have to partition the disk and create a boot partition (or root partition) that is smaller than 8GB.
A word on filesystems: I used the ext3 filesystem in the initial install, but used XFS (which is better at deleting large files) on an external drive that I bought later. I wouldn't recommend doing this unless you're familiar with XFS. I've had some issues with it—for example, it tends to become unmounted pretty frequently, requiring me to remount it, which is pretty annoying when you're trying to watch TV. The ext3 filesystem works just fine, but you should enable slow delete in the back-end settings (under General).
The next issue is connecting your MythTV box to the TV. If you have a new TV (particularly an LCD TV), you may have a VGA port in the back. If so, great—simply connect it as you would a monitor. If not, you'll need to connect the TV-out port on your video card (or PVR-350 tuner card) to the TV using an S-cable. You also need to add an entry to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. You may become very familiar with this file, particularly if you get a new TV or video card. Following the install, I added the following Monitor entry:
Section "Monitor" Identifier "Samsung" DisplaySize 400 300 HorizSync 35 - 50 VertRefresh 60 - 60 Option "DPMS" EndSection
Your entry will depend on the make of TV you have. When I got an LCD TV, I changed it to the following:
Section "Monitor" Identifier "LG 32LC7D" UseModes "Modes[0]" DisplaySize 1360 768 HorizSync 31.0 - 60.0 VertRefresh 60.0 Option "DPMS" EndSection
I also had to add a new section:
Section "Modes" Identifier "Modes[0]" ModeLine "1360x768" 85.5 1360 1424 1536 1792 768 771 777 795 ↪+hsync +vsync ModeLine "1216x684" 74.2 1216 1356 1396 1650 684 704 709 750 ↪+hsync +vsync EndSection
If you installed Mythbuntu, you should be ready to go at this point. If not, use the Synaptic package manager to install MythTV and any plugins you want. Configuring MythTV the first time can be a daunting task, due to the large number of available options. You gradually will become familiar with many of them, but I'll walk you through the basic initial setup next.

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

As a junior at St. Joseph's Academy, Justin Taylor realized that running was in his future and he decided to make a plan. To make the plan successful, he had to track his progress against it, so he started a training blog that documented each run and what trends produced the best results. Surprisingly to him, his blog became a favorite read for many runners. He had a knack for being extremely candid about his concerns, his fears, his aspirations and his goals and it drew people in.

Many think of the Ancient City Road Runners as a running club, which it is, but it is equally a social club. Many members use the runs as their social outlet to get to know people with similar interests and this often spills over beyond running. The ACRR has monthly birthday parties away from its normally scheduled runs and although there is a great deal of discussion about who is running what on the upcoming weekend, most of the discussion is indiscernible from conversations at a non-running club.

With the second attack on athletes in a matter of two weeks, I thought I'd share a few safety tips to help runners avoid the run ins that our endurance cousins have had recently.
1) Run on the sidewalk if available and if not run against traffic.
2) Run with a friend or group.
3) Do not wear headphones.
4) Pay attention to your surroundings.
5) Remember that a car will always win, so don't challenge them.
6) Be polite! Your actions affect how motorists view all runners.
Group run tomorrow night at 6PM!

The meat of the Northeast Florida summer racing schedule ended last night at the Run for the Pies. This race wraps up the Jacksonville Grand Prix which is a series of 20 some races that starts in August and ends ten months later with a two race combo at the Pies.
The Pies starts with an "elite" invite 5K where all the runners had to have run sub 17 (20 for women) during the year. Anyone in this race who runs under 16:30 (20:00) gets a free pair of shoes. This creates one of the best fields for a 5K in the state and generally rivals the Matanzas 5K as the fastest results.

One of my favorite running events of the year is Memorial Day Monday at 7:30AM. This is an informal "sand lot" type race; no big entry fees, no prizes, just show up and race 1 mile in a straight line down Mickler from Pope to A Street.
The races begin at 7:30 with the women's heat going first and the men's heat immediately following.
Hope to see everyone there.

No matter if you are training for a 5K or a marathon, always running the same pace won't produce your best results. You will become very good at running that pace, but you won't reach your potential. Therefore, there are a few different types of runs that you can do in your normal routine to change the stimuli that you offer your system. To reap the benefits of these workouts, you should only do one or two of them each week built into your normal runs.

Now that the River Run is behind you, do not let your gained fitness go to waste. Use it to get a new 5K PR. This weekend is the perfect time and it will be a good way to keep you going into the summer.
The Lighthouse 5K is this Saturday at 4PM (at the Lighthouse). Get there early because with the festival going on, it can be hard to park.

Everything that represents life is dying and stirring a palpable and rippling imbalance. How could these women and their families stay alive in an environment that has searing temperatures, noxious air and heavily tainted waters that result from gas flaring? This process is routinely employed to dispose of natural gas associated with crude oil, which takes place in Port Harcourt, Warri and Kaduna respectively. The reason it occurs there is because it is cheaper to process it at the expense of the host communities that live next door; than to invest in modern level technology that that will turn it into a valuable resource for common good. While the oil explorers and gas flarers are flourishing on their prized proceeds, host communities are lurching in ghettos that lack basic necessities and have shockingly high pollution levels. Women conspicuously epitomize the stark reality!
Women's stories have the power to stir change, so I took a peek into the lives of indigenous women in the oil producing and refining areas of Nigeria. My first stop was the village of Rido (Kaduna), a densely populated locality with mixed land uses: agricultural, residential, commercial and industrial. It is springtime and I could not ignore the immense but suspiciously thriving greenery around- farmlands, lush grasslands and sparsely distributed mature trees and shrubs. I also saw farmers plowing their green clothed fields. Within the inhabited areas, haphazardly built houses and shops competed for space with crisscrossing footpaths and unpaved narrow roads. Many of the structures were plastered with thin layers of cement that barely masked the mud walls underneath; and they appeared more awkward with their rusted roofs. In contrast, however, the standard and more secluded residence of the district head, an employee of the nearby refinery, displayed affluence.
The local market area was a beehive of activities as people, mostly women and girls, traded their wares; seemingly oblivious of the nearby flares that bellowed clouds of thick smoke into the very heart of, and around their unfortunate village. An elderly woman quickly caught my attention. She was carefully adjusting a set of green metal basins patterned with splashes of white polka dots arranged on two tables that created a brief and constricted aisle in the front of her shop. Each basin contained different types of grains: rice, wheat, beans, millet, and guinea corn.
Her name was Iye. She was illiterate, yet not ignorant of the health and safety hazards posed by the black fumes from the nearby refinery. "Every now and then the fumes spread, and we begin to inhale its repulsive smell as it infiltrates our homes and shops. It causes catarrh (influenza). A few days ago, as the fumes filtered into my shop, I became nauseated, and I felt like I was going to pass out. True to God!" she swore. By this time, three other women who had joined us nodded in agreement. "The obnoxious effect is nastiest whenever it rains" she concluded. Ebony black Grace, 31, also recounted how 'the smell of the fumes always made her feel ill and left her with a very funny sensation in her stomach, particularly in the mornings and at night time."
A few shops away, I met Vicky an observably young mother who said that she moved into the neighbourhood five years ago after she got married. She was sitting on a lowly built wooden bench in front of a hair dressing salon beside her own shop - a small spaced and poorly lit shop. It had one tired looking sewing machine and an overcrowded wooden table. Two cut up fabrics also hung over a short string of weak rope nailed across a part of the wall. Apparently stirred by my presence, her little daughter Elizabeth who crouched over the seat behind her suddenly raised her head revealing a frail look and a build-up of thick mucus in her nostrils. Vicky echoed the minds of her peers and also repainted the picture of her daughter when she said "the fumes is really affecting us, especially our children, many of whom are not feeling well. My daughter falls ill a lot and has catarrh all the time. I also experience headaches after inhaling the fumes when it rains or the wind changes direction."
Indigenous women are the most vulnerable to environmental hazards because the traditional responsibility of providing and managing natural resources required for the sustenance of the family rests on them. For example, they are the primary collectors of water (rain, wells, and rivers) from sources that are usually contaminated by oil spills and wastes, acid rain, mud etc. They harvest rain water through a gutter system or direct roof drips which means collecting water that falls through layers of thick fumes that are suspended in the air, and then runs down corroded soot covered roofs. A group of women complained that the water was usually blackish or contained traces of blackish particles. I was also told that "ordinarily, water sourced from their wells was good for consumption. However, whenever it rained, the taste of the water becomes objectionable, and they have to wait for at least a week before it becomes normal again."
In March 2013, there was a critical case of furfural (chemical substance that is soluble in water) spill into river Romi from the refinery which got down to Juji Bridge in the close by village and beyond. The runoff turned the normally clear blue river water black. Though the refinery ultimately commissioned an expert to clean the spill up in April, the cost to the community was high; since many of them relied on the water for fishing, irrigating their farms or for doing laundry. Claims are rife that the refinery often discharged its liquid wastes into river Romi at night.
I paid a visit to Mr. Gamaliel Stephen, an environmental expert, approached by people from the affected communities, and he told me that "furfural is harmful upon contact with skin, toxic by inhalation and if swallowed, irritating to eyes and respiratory system and has some degree of carcinogenic effect. He also expressed apprehension about the health repercussions on unsuspecting residents who consume or allow themselves to get drenched in the polluted, particularly farmers who rely on the polluted waterways for irrigation during the dry season, and consumers who purchase their produce. "I am directly affected, as more often than not, the water in the river appears black and whenever it overflowed its banks, the crops in the valley area starts drying up". Laraba Yakubu a resident farmer in Juji village complained. She also mentioned that "Juji was also not out of the danger of fumes from the flares, as their doors and windows cannot keep it out of their homes".
The human and environmental costs of flaring and other oil wastes in the communities highlighted above, which hosts only one oil refinery with two active flaring points is, however, the tip of the iceberg in comparison to that of communities in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria, where there are more than 1000 gas flaring points that release over 23 billion/m3 of gas per annum. Gas flaring in Nigeria continues to worsen the case of global warming. It "has contributed more greenhouse gas emissions than all other sources in sub-Saharan Africa combined" according to the World Bank. In the Niger Delta, it contributes about 13% to the global temperature rise. The combination of toxic substances emitted in some of these flares for over 40 years, pollute the clouds causing a black rain that poisons water sources; thus affecting livelihoods and exposing inhabitant to increased risks of premature deaths, child respiratory illnesses, asthma and cancer, as well as acid rain.
Conservative assumptions using World Bank information on the adverse effect of particulates, suggests that gas flaring from just one part of the Niger Delta (Bayelsa State) would likely cause annually 49 premature deaths, 4,960 respiratory illnesses among children and 120, asthma attacks. The study, however, did not provide estimates for premature death and miscarriage among pregnant women which are also linked to emissions from flares. The toxic substances expose host communities to health risks and property damage, in violation of their human rights because their right to health and to a safe and healthy environment is not respected. This flouts for example, the fundamental rights to life and to dignity guaranteed in Articles 33 and 34 respectively of the Nigerian Constitution. It also violates the rights guaranteed in the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights, for example, of every individual to enjoy the best attainable state of physical and mental health (Article 16) and of all peoples to a general satisfactory environment favorable to their development (Article 24).
Regional host communities are caught in the web of gas flaring, dumping of toxic wastes and oil spills. The women are being impoverished by the day through the destruction of the creeks, swamps, farmlands and forests that they depend on for their livelihood; and no one seems to care about their plight. The homes inhabited by these women and their families bear no semblance of the worth of the black gold taken from their ancestral lands and water bodies which now lay polluted. They have over and over again bemoaned the looting of resources in their communities and consequent devastation of their once pristine ancestral lands by insatiable oil merchants. The women are crying themselves hoarse in the face of the flagrant abuse of their rights and innumerable hazards faced by their communities. Some of them even went as far as staging nude protests in order to get the attention of the oil companies and the Nigerian Government.
At a recently held meeting of Host Oil and Gas Communities (Hostcom) Women's Wing, in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria, the National Coordinator Evangelist, Carina Gassidy said: "We women are not satisfied with the conditions of women in the oil producing areas because gas flaring is affecting our women. We are suffering breast cancer and many other diseases. And that is why we are sensitizing our women to take their rightful place in the communities. The woman is a major stakeholder in the family and when we suffer all kinds of disease such as breast cancer due to oil exploration and gas flaring and nobody is doing anything about it, it is certainly unfair. So, we want laws that will protect the health of women in oil producing communities".
For the most part of my childhood, I was intrigued by the sight of the stunning glow that stood out defying the darkness of the sky. It was most enchanting to watch it and fantasize about how it complemented the brilliance of the outlying zillion twinkling stars that decorated the sky with their radiance. By daytime, however, the glow appeared snowed under the brightness of the sun and the accompanying fumes that soared towards the clouds became conspicuous. That was several years ago. I have since learned that the glow is an offspring of a wild fiend known as gas flaring in the 'crude world'.
Today, as I gazed once again at the blaze from the flares, the now halted dances and euphoric ululations of indigenous women which greeted the discovery of crude oil- black gold in their native soil occupied my mind. In my years of working with grassroots women, I have experienced firsthand and also come across several testimonies that bear witness to the depressing injustice which is happening in the crude oil sector in Nigeria. As a woman, an advocate and concerned global citizen, I am joining in indigenous women's call for oil producing and or refining countries to enforce stringent environmental regulatory measures on oil companies that still practice gas flaring so as to eradicate gas flaring and the associated problems of crude oil exploration and production before long. I know too well that indigenous women don't want to just survive; they want to live and thrive!

I love the humanitarian aspect of your piece, green girl. You may find common points with Iryna's piece on Chernobyl: http://worldpulse.com/node/75914
lots of love,

I feel honoured that you read the post and also reached out. Thank you so much too for referring me to Iryna's piece which I decided to read before responding to your comment. You are very right about finding common points with her post. Many thanks to you. I'll certainly take a peep into your journal .Haha!
Cheers, Greengirl
Olanike, I am so glad that you have actually gone to conduct research on this subject. I highly encourage you to continue speaking with strength and power. According to the UN, Niger-Delta petroleum pollution is the worst in history! It is affecting not only Nigeria, but the whole world by the greenhouse effect--I'd suggest that you emphasize this fact. Women and children are the most tragic victims there. Without doubt environmental disaster is the cause of many problems in Nigeria, not only illness, but poverty, witch-craft, ignorance and violence.
When government is not providing compensation for the indigene, how could the people make up so much loss in their lives? ' The women are being impoverished by the day through the destruction of the creeks, swamps, farmlands and forests that they depend on for their livelihood; and no one seems to care about their plight.' because they do not have genuine voice that represent them.
Thank you for sharing the important information. Please check and see our project site also. http://www.swacin.com Click on English and go to project. Let me know what you think about it. Love, Hideko N.
Nice to hear from you as always!
I am not surprised that you understand the spate of human rights abuse and environmental devastation going on in parts of Nigeria, particularly the Niger Delta region. It is a very sad and worrisome situation! There is an urgent need for intervention, which I hope will happen before long.
Thank you for sharing the swacin link. It is impressive that Environment is listed as one of SWACIN''s Project Focus. I noted with gladness that the First Semi-Annual Conference held as planned; but also felt bad that Judge Teresa had to step down from the Board . I sincerely apologise for having not inquired about the progress made with the conference, before now.
Please feel free to let me know how I can be of help.
Much love, Greengirl
Greengirl thank you for standing the test of time. i have seen your passion in addressing environmental issues and its impact on women. Thank you also for bring this story of the gases of crude oil and its impact. Keep up the good work.

God bless you for reading and reaching out to me.
Warmly, Greengirl
Dear Greengirl,Your writing is so evocative, visual, thought-provoking, strong and excellent, I feel as though I've just read a screen play/ film script. I feel as though I've stood beside you and watched what you once thought, as a child, was "stunning" and later discovered to be toxic and deadly. Thank Heaven you are so actively concerned and have such an intelligent, caring Voice. Your piece is gripping and I am particularly startled to learn from you that, 'Gas flaring in Nigeria continues to worsen the case of global warming. It "has contributed more greenhouse gas emissions than all other sources in sub-Saharan Africa combined" according to the World Bank.' Shocking. So often, a small group of greedy people with no thought for the future* -- *the children! they are the future -- profit, while others suffer terribly. May this piece get wide readership, and may you continue to make a positive difference to the care of our beloved planet. With Great Respect, Sarah
Sarah Whitten-Grigsby
I feel bubbly and stronger with your every word!
- the children! they are the future*. As I read this phrase, it reminded me of how as I wrote the piece, my mind questioned the seriousness of world leaders about the celebrated hope for and of "Sustainable Development". It appears that the 7th Millennium Development goal of ensuring environmental sustainability by 2015 needs to be scrutinized in the light of flagrant dehumanization and degradation of resource rich communities.
I really feel very perturbed that a group of helpless people are made to suffer while those who cause their pain keep smiling; and have no interest in changing the status quo. The level of devastation and deprivation, especially in the Niger Delta Region beats imagination. The injustice in the oil sector in Nigeria is GRAVE an I really hope that sanity and justice will prevail sooner than later.
It's gladdening that you think the piece deserves wide readership, and I hope too that it will make a difference.
In appreciation, Greengirl
Sis The article is such a wonderful piece. Keep up the good work and continue to make a big difference in your community.
I am really happy that you found the piece worth reading and even think of it as a 'wonderful piece'. To say the least, I am encouraged by your comment and grateful to you for reaching out.
Best Wishes, Greengirl
It really is. I read all your articles each and everyone of it was great. Keep up the great work.
Greengirl, you are speaking about so important and so urgent issue for the whole planet and first of all, of course, for Nigerian people. This method of gas flaring is awful, violent for people and environment. Many countries refuse from this technology because it harms incredibly and produces a lot of greenhouse gas. We really need to stop this! Another thing I noticed is that again women are the strongest fighters against anything that threatens safety of their families! And all together, I belive, we can make big changes! Your article is written with a very artistic style, I like so much the way you "paint" the images! Warmest greetings from Ukraine, Iryna
It's always nice to hear from you! I only did my best to echo my pains and concerns about a situation that is causing a lot of harm to a vast but helpless majority. It is really sad that the Nigerian authorities have not taken any decisive action against the polluting companies, in spite of the level of devastation and continued outcries from within and outside affected communities.
I very much agree with you that ' women are the strongest fighters against anything that threatens the safety of their families'. We must keep hope and faith alive that our seemingly little efforts aimed at calling local, national and global attention to these problems will go a long way to bring about the much desired change.
Iryna, I feel deeply touched that you read the piece and also reached out.
Together we can! Greengirl
Greengirl, I really felt inspired by this piece! Like Iryna said, you do a great job of painting the portraits and landscapes you describe. I feel connected to the people and communities in this piece. I also love your choice of topic, as environmental destruction and the need for safe sources of energy is something EVERYONE can understand and is affected by! My heart was aching when you talked about how the houses and standard of living of the families in the oil and gas host communities do not at all reflect the extremely high value of their land's resources.
Surely providing clean air and a healthy environment for children to grow up in -- or at least not worsening existing conditions -- is the MINIMUM standard to which corporations and governments can be held accountable.
Thank you so much for writing this!
I sincerely apreciate that you connected with the reality and very essence of the story. The blight of the people in affected comunities is one too many; and it beats my imagination that the government and international oil corporations are doing very little (amounting to nothing) to reverse the trends. I really wish I could wake up one day and hear or see that sanity prevailing.
Each day I wake up and go to bed in hope that change will happen. I don't know how but I'll keep hope alive.
Thank you so much Hana for giving credence to and also fueling that 'Hope' that burns within me.
With high regards, Greengirl
Dear Greengirl,
Thank you for this very thoughtful and enlightening piece about what it means to live at the frontlines of gas flares in Nigeria. And why is it not a surprise that women are the most affected by this practice and that indigenous women suffer from it at a high level as well. I wonder what it will take before governments realize that they are destructing the environment, the health of women and children when they could be investing in clean, renewable energy. Thanks again for your piece and the pictures. Thanks also for all you do in the region to raise awareness about this horrible practice.
Delphine Criscenzo
Thank you so much Delphine for finding time out of your busy schedule to read my post.
The level of devastation in the affected communities, particularly in the Niger Delta region is better seen than heard of. It is a rather pathetic case as the three tiers of government in Nigeria continue to treat the tragic human and environmental costs with kid's gloves. To learn more, or have a visual feel of the dangers that inhabitants are exposed to you may wish to search for videos about the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria on You Tube. I came across this video today, and would like to share the link with you. I am sure it would give you further insight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bq2TBOHWFRc
I would also like to thank you for the acknowledgement accorded me and my efforts, I only wish I could do more to ensure that change happens. Can you then imagine how inspired and motivated I am to make the most of the 2013 VOF Correspondents training programme? I am enjoying all the walking and talking that has been happening. Haha!
Hugs, Greengirl
Thank you so much Greengirl for sharing this video. It inspired me. It also reminded me that here, in the US, we break into the Earth to extract natural gas. What is wrong with this picture. I wrote a post about: https://worldpulse.com/node/76509 Maybe you can read it and let me know what you think! Thanks for the inspiration. Much love,
Delphine Criscenzo
Dear Greengirl, Thank you for lending your voice to what is a very important topic in Nigeria. I appreciated the interviews you did with some of the women who are most affected by this dangerous practice, and the pictures you posted. They are compelling and brought this piece to life. Keep up the great work. The world needs your voice! Deb
Deb Busser ENERGY SPRING Leadership Office: 978.649.1788 * Mobile: 978.790.3909 http://www.linkedin.com/in/debbusser
Yes, I agree with you that the issue of gas flaring is a very important topic. However, it remains under reported, may be because the Nigerian oil sector is a major contributor to the Nigerian economy. The oil sector provides 20% GDP, over 80% of foreign exchange earnings and about 65% of budgetary revenues. With an estimated average production of 2.5 metric barrels and an average price of $113 per barrel, Nigeria's total earnings from Crude Oil Sales is $101.7 billion, that is, N16.272 trillion per annum. It is worthy of note that the oil sector is the highest contributor to Nigeria's GDP, and crude oil continues to play a prominent role in the economy. .
I therefore find it very difficult to understand/reconcile how and or why the government continues to turn a blind eye to the sufferings of host communities while continuing to benefit from the natural endowments in their ancestral lands. To tell you the truth, I wish the oil will cease flowing so that sanity can prevail in affected communities.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the post. Your words of encouragement gives me strength and courage to keep speaking up about the positive change I envision for women, humanity and our ecosystem.
Appreciatively, Greengirl
Your article is passionate, well-articulated, and gives a detailed and interesting insight into the issue. The title names women and children as the victims, so maybe in the future consider elaborating on the consequences for children.
Your comments are always highly appreciated. Thank you so much for calling my attention to the issue of children victims which I did not elaborate on, as much as I did on women. Somehow, I guess I took out some of the information while trying to work within the word limit. I take full responsibility for the mix up. For the sake of those who will still read the post, I will just go ahead and edit the title.
The observation is well noted, and be assured that I have taken it to heart and account, and will do my best to avoid such oversight/ mix up in my future writings.

GSD Course Bulletin - Fall 2012
This term's information was last refreshed on 12 MAY 2015 14:54:06.
Courses taught by Charles Waldheim
09504: Thesis in Satisfaction of the Degree Doctor of Design (ADV 0950400)
Independent Study - 16 credits
Martin Bechthold, Jose Gomez-Ibanez, Spiro Pollalis, Peter Rowe, A. Hashim Sarkis, Charles Waldheim
Course Description
Under guidance of a faculty committee, the student conducts investigations and prepares a doctoral thesis.
09641: Proseminar in Landscape Architecture (ADV 0964100)
Landscape Architecture
Seminar - 4 credits
Tuesday 9:00 - 11:30 Gund 318
Charles Waldheim
Course Description
This course surveys multiple definitions of landscape architecture. Rather than seeking a singular understanding, the seminar postulates that landscape might be understood in relation to other terms across an expanded disciplinary and professional field. The course will pursue multiple provisional working definitions of landscape as a method to describe landscape architecture as a contemporary cultural form. The first of these definitions distinguishes between landscape as medium, secondly we will address landscape as discipline, and thirdly landscape as profession. Beginning with the course introduction and inquiry into the origins of the word itself, the seminar is organized into a series of weekly rhetorical questions. These questions are built upon Garrett Eckbo's 1983 essay entitled "Is Landscape Architecture?" Following from Eckbo's rhetorical questioning, we will ask similarly charged questions weekly in order to unpack landscape's luggage.
Over the semester members of the seminar will be introduced to a range of ideas, authors, agents, and actors shaping the contemporary field of landscape architecture. Members will also come to know the research and creative practice of many faculty members currently constituting the Department of Landscape Architecture at the GSD, as well as a range of leading figures nationally. Through a series of readings, seminar discussions, and presentations by visitors, members of the seminar will be introduced to the study of landscape architecture at Harvard and be invited to articulate their own academic experiences, intellectual commitments, and professional aspirations.
09661: Research Methods in Urbanism (ADV 0966100)
Landscape Architecture
Seminar - 4 credits
Tuesday 3:00 - 6:00 20 Sumner 1C
Charles Waldheim, Jason Rebillot
Course Description
This seminar traces a range of approaches to urban research across the disciplines represented at the GSD. It surveys the complex, and often contradictory ideological and methodological assumptions attendant to various forms of scholarly and disciplinary research. From historical and archival research on urbanism to more topical and action-oriented investigations, the seminar exposes students to divergent paradigms of urban research. These paradigms include the projective tendencies of the design disciplines, the empirical impulse drawn from urban geography, the narrative tradition of urban writing, the synthetic nature of interdisciplinary research collaborations, and many others.
The seminar invites all incoming MDesS students in the Urbanism, Landscape, Ecology (ULE) concentration area to identify a disciplinary basis and body of knowledge from which to articulate their own methodological agenda for research. Each participant in the course is expected to complete readings, participate in discussions, and complete a fully considered research proposal, with particular attention given to what the participant seeks to focus on during the course of their degree completion, and the trajectory it will set them on for subsequent career pursuits. This semester-long, multi-layered investigation will involve the production of verbal, visual, and textual components

Nice job though, and nice recovery. I had a segmented hollow form that caused me the same issue - a catch popped off the top ring. So the hole ended up a bit larger than was planned, but unless I were to tell you it wouldn't be noticeable. It's nice when an issue is able to be recovered from. Just another design opportunity :)
Thanks for sharing your work.

SMBC Nikko Opens San Francisco Office for Japan Equity
SMBC Nikko Securities Inc., the brokerage arm of Japan's second-biggest bank by market value, said it opened an office in San Francisco this month to tap overseas investors' demand for the Asian nation's equities.
The unit of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc. will also double the size of its Hong Kong office by Dec. 31, adding a second floor in Citibank Tower, Tadataka Ishida, a Tokyo-based spokesman at SMBC Nikko, said in an interview.
SMBC Nikko Chief Executive Officer Tetsuya Kubo plans to raise overseas headcount in equity and bond sales, trading and investment banking by 25 percent within three years as Japan's stock rally attracts foreign investors and spurs domestic share sales. The firm's first San Francisco office since 1992 opened Oct. 1 and will house several sales staff, Ishida said.
The company is competing for equity business with brokerages including Nomura Holdings Inc. amid a 40 percent surge in the Nikkei 225 Stock Average that's made Japan the best performer among major markets. Stocks have gained since December when Prime Minister Shinzo Abe took office on pledges of fiscal spending and monetary easing to revive the economy.
Shares of Tokyo-based Sumitomo Mitsui rose or 0.4 percent, to 4,895 yen in Tokyo today. The stock has climbed 57 percent this year.
Trailing Rivals
SMBC Nikko is the fifth-ranked equity underwriter for Japan stocks in 2013, eclipsed by No. 1 Nomura and second-placed Daiwa Securities Group Inc., according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Japanese companies have raised 4.1 trillion yen ($42 billion) this year, already exceeding 2.1 trillion yen for all of 2012, the data show.
Expanding overseas will boost SMBC Nikko's relationships with foreign investors, helping it win more mandates from Japanese companies looking to sell shares globally, Ishida said.
SMBC Nikko's San Francisco office puts it closer to some of the biggest U.S. institutional investors, including the California Public Employees' Retirement System, the nation's largest pension fund with $270 billion of assets, and the California State Teachers' Retirement System.
The new branch will be SMBC Nikko's fifth to sell Japanese equities outside of the country, joining offices in New York, London, Singapore and Hong Kong, Ishida said.
To bolster trading, underwriting and merger advising, SMBC Nikko plans to add 100 equity and bond sales staff, traders and bankers overseas to total about 500 by March 2016, Kubo said in an interview in April. The brokerage increased its headcount abroad by 30 people to about 450 from April to September, Ishida said.

On the summit I changed film, and it wasn't until several weeks later on a backpacking trip that I realized the film I inserted on Mt. Baker didn't catch the take-up sprocket. I hate it when that happens! Descended and packed out to the cars in an uneventful manner.

|Kevin LaFleur and I climbed the Coleman - Upper Deming Glacier route on Mt Baker in mid-June, 1999. The road to the trailhead was still partially snowed in, so we parked the car at 3,400 ft and began our ascent at 5:45pm with about a mile of road walking. There was a lot of snow obscuring the "Heliotrope Trail," and the footsteps of previous parties led in various random directions. This made routefinding very difficult. Somehow, after a couple hours of meandering through the woods, we arrived at a spot near the base of the Coleman Glacier and set up camp for the night.
After a short sleep, we awoke at 3:33am to a clear pre-dawn sky. The valleys below were blanketed with a thick fog that slowly rose throughout the day and transformed into billowy cumulus clouds. Kevin and I put on our gear, collapsed the tent, and started up the mountain. After a few minutes we reached the Coleman Glacier and roped up. We weaved around several menacing crevasses and made our way to the saddle between the summit of Baker and Colfax Peak. We then headed up the summit ridge on easy snow, reaching the summit at 8:30am. After snapping a few photos, we headed down.

State to start its work on deadly intersection
The intersection at Farm-to-Market Road 1912 and U.S. High-way 60 took another life Tuesday. That brings the death toll to 11 and the number of wrecks to 156 in the past 10 years. That's unacceptable.
James Darren Potts Gentry, 17, was killed. His twin brother, Joseph Warren Potts Gentry, was critically injured.
Presently, the intersection only has a flashing yellow light on Highway 60 and yield signs on 1912.
Fortunately, that will change soon when the intersection is reconstructed, said Martin Tomlinson, district engineer for the Texas Department of Transportation. Construction is planned for late summer and will include putting up signal lights in all four directions. That's Phase 1.
Phase 2 will be constructing an overpass for 1912. Highway 60 will run under the overpass. TxDOT has tentative approval for the project and expects the final word in August. The project would be let out for bids two to four months later. Construc-tion would take eight to 10 months, said Tomlinson.
Progress on making the intersection more safe has been accelerating in the past few months, said Tomlinson. Such progress is welcome. It is too late for two brothers.
Officials need to keep the pressure on to make sure these life-saving projects finally reach completion.
The traffic signal will be a vast improvement and the subsequent building of an overpass will be an even greater one.
Until the projects are completed, however, drivers must continue to approach this deadly intersection with extreme caution.

How You Doin'? Your Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice
Heading into the first week of June, we are at the quarter point of baseball's fantasy season. Now is as good a time as any to take a long look at your overall roster, and determine what players have been a bright spot and playing exactly how you expected them to play, and at those who have fallen far short of expectations, and whether or not there are viable alternatives out there, which there always are. Today, we are going to look at six player-three hitters and three pitchers who you probably need to move on from. Tomorrow we will look at alternatives readily available to replace the six I suggest you walk away from. So with that, it's my 1/4 mark roster review here on Pro Sports Extra's How You Doin'?
1. Mike Moustakas-This season's version of his teammate, Eric Hosmer, Moose came into 2013 with lofty expectations for both his owners and for the Kansas City Royals. Hitting right at .185 with very little power, he has been one of the biggest fantasy disappointments thus far. With the Royals scuffling as a team at the plate, Moustakas has been the poster boy for fantasy disappointment.
2. Ike Davis-The New York Mets and fantasy owners alike were hoping that 2012 was an aberration, and that the Ike of '11 would come back to the forefront. Davis showed plenty of plate discipline along being a nice source of power, on-base percentage, and runs driven in. He has been a fixture in the middle of the Mets order along with David Wright since his arrival in Queens. These days, Ike has been mentioned along with several of his underperforming teammates as candidates to be demoted back to Triple-A. Hitting .160 with next to no power, warrants consideration for mass dropping if you are one of his owners.
3. Andre Ethier-Probably the most disappointing player on a disappointing team in Los Angeles, the Dodgers' right fielder was rewarded for early career results with an $85 million dollar contract. I'm sure there are many in the L.A. front office that wish they hadn't committed so much money to someone that has become one-half of a platoon. Ethier and manager Don Mattingly are at odds, and the Dodgers' season is quickly going off the tracks. If you can find someone dumb enough to take him off your hands, by all means do so, and if not, find another option, as he holds very little fantasy value now, or any time in the near future.
4. R.A. Dickey-I predicted this one the day he was traded by the Mets to the Toronto Blue Jays. Dickey had been nothing more than a journeyman knuckleballer prior to his flash in the pan, Cy Young season of 2012. For those of you that drank the Kool-Aid, shame on you. His career numbers suggested a massive drop off in performance was in the cards, and his arrival into the best division in baseball hasn't been as smooth as Toronto or his owners would've liked to have seen.
5. Josh Johnson-Are you seeing a theme here with Blue Jays personnel? Johnson has been an injury problem his entire career and this season has been no different. Prior to his injuries, his earned run average was well above 5 and he was giving up the long ball at a disturbing rate. I will admit, I drafted him late in the hopes that he would be a cheap option for strikeouts and E.R.A., but in the league I play in, I have plenty of DL space, so I can afford to be patient. Most leagues aren't like that, so he is not worth holding on to if you only have one or two DL slots. There is no guarantee that he returns to form, and the season is quickly becoming a nightmare north of the border.
6. Roy Halladay-Time catches up to all of us, and major league pitchers are no different. Did anyone see the massive drop off coming for the good Doctor so rapidly? No. Injuries, and a ton of wear and tear on his pitching shoulder have finally taken their toll on the 2-time Cy Young winner and unquestioned ace of the Phillies staff. After undergoing surgery, his estimated return date is mid to late September. By that time, the Phils will be double digits out in the NL East, so I foresee the Phillies front office playing it safe, and shutting down Halladay for the remainder of the 2013 season.
As I said before, I will return tomorrow in a rare weekend column to share more nuggets of knowledge, and together, we will start rebuilding your car accident of a roster. If you own or have owned any of the aforementioned players, don't worry, there is still plenty of time to recover, rebuild your roster, and move ahead as a strong competitor in your league rather than being the stepping stone for someone else to achieve fantasy greatness. Enjoy your weekend!

The problem lies in the fact that it is using the Dynamic Content Gallery presently and when they add an image to a post, they copy the image url and post it in a custom field along with the DCG box. Perhaps this is why the WP Tiles plugin doesn't see the image for each post. Is there a way to tell the plugin to fetch the url for the image in a custom field?

Manganese silicate rocks, interbanded with manganese oxide orebodies, constitute an important stratigraphic horizon in the Mansar formation of the Sausar Group of Precambrian age in India. The manganese silicate rocks of Gowari Wadhona occupy the westernmost flank of the manganese belt of the Sausar Group. These rocks are constituted of spessartite, calcium-rich rhodonite, quartz, manganoan diopside, blanfordite (manganese bearing member of diopside-acmite series), brown manganese pyroxene (manganese bearing aegirine-augite), winchite (manganese bearing richterite-tremolite), juddite (manganese bearing amphibole with richterite, tremolite, magnesioriebeckite and glaucophane molecules), tirodite (manganese bearing amphibole with richterite, cummingtonite and glaucophane molecules), manganophyllite, alurgite, piedmontite, braunite, hollandite (and other lower oxides of manganese) with minor apatite, plagioclase, calcite, dolomite and microcline. A complete mineralogical account of the manganese-bearing phases has been given in the text. It has been shown that the juxtaposition of manganese silicate rocks with dolomitic marble, regional metamorphism to almandine-amphibolite facies and assimilation of pegmatite veins cutting across the manganese formation, were responsible for the development of these manganese silicate rocks and the unusual chemical composition of some of the constituent minerals. It has been concluded that the manganese silicate rocks of Gowari Wadhona were originally laid down as sediments comprising manganese oxides admixed with clay, silica etc. and were later regionally metamorphosed to almandine-amphibolite facies. All evidences indicate that rhodochrosite was not present in the original sediment and the bulk composition of the sediments was rich in manganese. These rocks agree entirely to the detailed nomenclature of the gondites enunciated by Fermor (1909) and amplified by Roy and Mitra (1964) and Roy (1966).

Tarot Spreads: Layouts & Techniques to Empower Your Readings teaches a great deal about how spreads work, how they are designed, and how to use them to best advantage. One of the key elements of this work is to know yourself as a reader and to understand what works for you and what doesn't. Some people have no interest in creating spreads from scratch. Some have a handful of spreads they love and use all the time. But just as we know that bespoke clothing fits, feels, and looks better than off-the-rack clothes, a spread that is modified to YOUR style will give you better results and/or make your readings flow more easily.

Hi. Can this plugin work with hover or does it have to be onclick?
Hi. Can this plugin work with hover or does it have to be onclick?
Hello Bob.
This plugin does not work with hover. We have created versions that dose, but you really need to think through how you will deal with touch devices that do not have a hover.
Also, when you hover over and item... how do you close it? Hover out is the easy answer, but then you can never select or click on anything in the target area.
In short, it can be done but it's a complex interaction that needs to be well planned out.
Here is an example of a plugin we custom built for a client: http://spacedonkey.de/941/hover-o-matic-0-4-test/
If you MUST deal with hover events, then shoot us an email at info [at] twinpictures [dot] de and we can explore some options.
Thanks Baden. That's a really great point. Although I design with touch devices in mind, I do frequently forget about the hover aspect of them.
No worries. Excited to see what the final outcome will be.

I realize that neither the 2.1.2 version nor the 2.1.3 (a recently published patch version) state that they are compatible with 2.8.6 (just released a couple days ago); however, many people have reported success with slightly older version. So I thought I would give this a try.
I tested both versions of this plug-in on a 2.8.6 version of WP and on a 2.8.5 version as well. In all cases the result was the same. The subscription parts worked fine. The subscription emails send out as well when tested; however, the Subscription Manager links made available to subscribers and to post authors do not work. When clicked they send all back to the homepage.
If I directly access this URL (http://www.hairextensionsreviews.com/?wp-subscription-manager) when logged in as the owner/administrator then I am able to successfully access the Subscription Manager. But if I use any of the provided links on the bottom of the post's comments I am put on the homepage, whether logged in as the post author, site administrator, or just a commenter.
I also feel like something else is missing. The plug-in does not seem to have an "options", "settings", or "configurations" panel. When I view it under "Manager Plugins" I see only links to Mark's and Scriptygoddess' websites. The documentation makes a reference to such an options page, but I can't find this:
"text can all be customized in the options (Options -> Subscribe to Comments)."
Since this has worked for so many, I tend to think that my minor version upgrade cannot be the problem. Please help me figure out what I am missing. I have not customized the plug-in at all. If you have a moment, please check out the results on my testing ground website. Thanks in advance for any feedback!

I read reviews online before my appointment and I was so anxious to go. Well let me tell you, my experience was the exact opposite of what everyone else described. The office staff was extremely nice! The nurse explained the entire procedure beforehand and really reassured me. Dr. Hirsch was extremely patient and told me exactly what he was going to do. The procedure was a little painful but he warned me every time before the pain came. The nurse held my hand through out the entire process! I would definitely recommend people to this place!
I have never written a bad review in my entire life but this experience was so bad I can't hold it in. Overall worst experience at a doctor's office that I have ever had. Ever. When I made my appointment they had me drink 24 oz of water an hour before my appointment which as it turnes out I didn't need to do. Apparently they tell everyone to do that. What if I were 9 months pregnant and holding that much pee was extremely difficult. From the standoffish lady in the first window (not the very pleasant woman who actually signed me in), to the facility itself, to the very forceful tech with zero bedside manner who inserted the instrument so quickly and forcefullyt it took my breath away to the doctor himself who rushed out of the room so quickly he didn't even offer me a towel to wipe the gel off of my lower abdomen. Neither did the tech. I had to walk down the old hallway holding my shirt up so the gel didn't get all over my clothes into an old room with a door that didn't shut all the way . There were no towels or wipes in the changing room either so I had to hold the door shut with one hand so no one could see me naked, take off the paper skirt with the other hand and use it to wipe the gel off my body. Don't even get me started on the dirty disgusting old bathroom with a broken garbage can, stained walls and puddles of leaked soap on the toilet. It was like using the bathroom in Penn Station. It was so horrifying I took pictures with my phone and would attach them to this post if I could. The whole experience was awful. I would NEVER recommend this office or this doctor to anyone.
Dr. Hirsch explains everything and is very gently. Nasty office staff.
One and done on Dr Hirsch and his office at 290 Madison in. morristown. It was a pig sty! I was referred to this office by Sherri Baglione of RMA of New Jersey (Reproductive Medicine Associates), and Dr Michael Drews. There were dust mites all over the waiting room and in hallways going back into exam room. The room I had my HSG test done was also filthy, and out dated. When I told Dr Drews and his staff about this, they were less than interested. As I later found out, Dr Drews and Dr Hirsch went to Cornell Medical SCHOOL and have networked and referred patients over the years, hence why Dr Drews was disinterested in taking any action.

I bought tickets to see this show for my husband as we had bought tickets to see MJ at the O2 before he died - I really wish I hadn't spent the money! The singers were good (as in they had good voices) but aside from that....awful! Horrific fake American accents were put on by most of the 'actors' (I say 'actors' because there is actually no story to act to) Where at some points their clear cockney accents came through? I don't understand the costumes at all, they neither related to the words of the songs nor the era they were produced in it was all very confusing and a bit pointless. My husband is an ultimate Michael Jackson fan, I was putting on a brave face for him but at the interval he asked me if we could leave so it's not just because I'm not a fan myself it was just a miserable experience for quite frankly a lot of money. The staging was awful and again, made absolutely no sense to either Michael Jackson, his songs or the era but to be fair it did cause a welcome distraction to look at that rather than watching and listening to the bad American accents, confusing costumes and weird dancing. All in all, if you live near London and it doesn't cost too much to get there and you can get a show ticket for less than a fiver then by all means go, if you need to spend more than £20 each getting there and seeing the show - don't bother
