Before someone points me toward the FAQ: I've already tried the method described therein. All the remuxing in the world does not get most of my MKVs to play. With "don't play" I mean: The Sony Bravia let's me select the file, I see a "Dolby Digital" popping up and that's about it. Black screen, no sound.
I even took the settings from the MKV that do play and tried to copy those on the ones that don't.
No dice. The debug.log does not show any error or any information indicative of a problem.
As a kind of last resort, I've tried transcoding using Handbrake (only the first minutes of one particular MKV, mind).
No dice, either.
Which means I'm fresh out of ideas where to look next. Could someone point me in the right direction? I might add that another DLNA-Server (Mezzmo, which also uses ffmpeg) seems to have a related problem (though in that case I'm getting sound and a corrupted first frame with the same MKVs).

Man survives being dragged 4 miles by car in Va.
Police say a car dragged a man for about 4 miles before another motorist alerted the driver that the victim was under the vehicle.
The accident occurred Saturday on Richmond Road in James City County.
Police tell media outlets that the 31-year-old victim and the driver were racing when the victim lost control of his car. The vehicle hydroplaned, spun several times and hit a tree. The victim was ejected.
The other car ran over the man and dragged him. The driver told police he thought he had run over debris from the wreck.
Police say the victim suffered serious injuries and was taken to a hospital. Two passengers in his car, an 8-year-old girl and an 8-year-old boy, suffered non-life threatening injuries.
No charges have been filed.

Something clicked inside Joseph Trapani.
"It was just a reaction," the 29-year-old Hercules resident said Monday. "I didn't think about it. I just started moving.
"I don't think it's that big a deal, to be honest."
An elderly man who was sleeping at the home in the 2200 block of Lupine Road would probably beg to differ. Trapani rescued the man from the blaze Saturday afternoon by rushing into the home, waking him and carrying him out the front door.
Fire investigators believe the blaze started in the engine compartment of a 1999 Honda sedan that was parked in the garage of the home. The heat from the fire ignited the eaves and roof of the house, Battalion Chief Brian Lowry said.
Trapani, a former wrestler at De La Salle High in Concord, his brother and two friends were driving through the neighborhood about 1:30 p.m. -- on their way to hit golf balls at a driving range -- when they saw the car on fire and flames shooting from the windows.
"The smoke was manageable," he said. "I just tried to keep my head down, and I was able to kneel down and move around the house.
"I went to each room and kicked in the doors, and when I came to the last one, there was an elderly man asleep in the bed. He thought I was an intruder when he heard me kicking the door."
The resident, whom authorities identified as Doan Do, suffered cuts on his knees, according to Trapani, but was otherwise OK.
Fire officials say they don't advise civilians to rush into burning homes, but they were hard-pressed to fault Trapani for his heroic actions.
"If somebody feels somebody else is in danger, they're gonna react," said Rodeo-Hercules Fire Chief Charles Hanley. "And I can't really say it's a wrong thing to do.
"Was there danger?" Hanley said. "Yes. Was the young man putting himself in a dangerous situation? Yes. But can I, in good consciousness, say that he was at fault for doing it? No.
"In the end, he was putting a stranger's life ahead of his (own). It's a reflection of his caring and his character."
Weighing in by email, Trapani's father agreed.
"I think all three of my kids are people of high integrity," Paul Trapani said. "I'm very proud of his compassion for others."
Joseph Trapani emerged unscathed -- he was working at his job as an aide to a physical therapist Monday -- save for some singe marks on his upper arms and on his back.
He said that after he pulled Do out of the burning house, he made a second dash inside to make sure nobody else was home. Only then, he said, did he realize the danger in which he'd put himself.
"I haven't tried to give that a whole lot of thought," he said.
Trapani said he worked as an emergency medical technician for a year, and that the job, along with his wrestling background, helped him remain composed as chaos was breaking out around him.
"One thing I've learned is that whoever stays calm in a crisis, that's the person who will be followed," he said. "I've stayed somewhat fit, too, so that helped."
Trapani also gave credit to three men who were with him, saying they remained in verbal contact with him as he searched the house.
The Red Cross is providing temporary housing for Do and another resident, Lowry said. Damage to the home was estimated at $100,000, and fire officials did not have an estimate of when it may be inhabitable again.
Trapani said he was overwhelmed by the media attention his actions have attracted, especially because he doesn't view himself as heroic.
"Since it happened, I've been pulled in every direction," he said. "And, to me, it doesn't seem like it's a big deal. I don't feel like a hero."

8 Opinions
TrailRunner 2.1 is still beta and uses a new diary model. If you go back to TrailRunner 2.0 after you have migrated your diary it will be empty.
But this is a) documented in the release notes and b) no problem as I keep your old diary save in an Archive folder. Read more here: http://trailrunnerx.com/en_blog
The donation for TrailRunner is 25 Euro. No other value. As I develop this application in my spare-time, this is the model I am forced to use as I can't give professional grade guarantees on deadlines and quality.
TrailRunner is one of the first outdoor oriented apps for Mac OS X. And the application is public since 2005. And I do not intend to stop the project anytime soon as the user base is such a wonderful community that keeps me motivated to improve and evolve. And while I write this, thanks to everyone using the app since day one or even day 1505!
- berbie.
Kinda okay, but lacking in reliability and usability, and I therefore find it hard to trust in the long term. I've lost all my data during updates at least once. I'd make a small donation towards the development, but the currently requested "donation" of 29 Eur ($36) is too high, and the associated start-up nag window with time delay effectively makes the donation a purchase price.
I have used it for a while. Somehow it manages to lose all my diary or runs recently. Trying to re-create them reminded me how the usability of the track/route drawing is pretty poor. Shame because the application has a lot of features, just that I thought it could be made much easier to use.
This really needs multithreading or some kind of optimization....with a year's worth of workout data -- which doesn't slow down Ascent or Garmin Training Center noticeably -- TrailRunner is crawling, beachballing for 30-40 seconds at a time, making the app practically unusable. I tried it about 6 mos. ago & had lots of performance issues....trying it again, it doesn't seem anything has really improved.
Used to work perfectly with my iPod Nano and now with my new Garmin ForeRunner 305 GPS on my Mac OS X computer. Found that http://www.macgps.de also links to TrailRunner.
Great work Berbie, fast support. Please never stop making TrailRunner even betterâ¦
Awesome app. Couldn't imagina to live without it. I use it every day to track my running sessions and discover new routes in my area. Great support as well. Thank you Berbie!
Great app, looks real sharp--I'm using it solo without the nikeplus or forerunner--works great.
Helped Berbie translate this app to Swedish, and got a registration code as thanks. Every serious runner should take a long look at this fantastic program! (Now it works together with the Nike+iPod kit.)

Illegal Pharmacies Shut Down
1,700 Illegal Pharmacy Websites Shut Down
06.28.13 | By
More than 9,600 websites that illegally sell potentially dangerous, counterfeit drugs to patients were targeted this week by a partnership that included INTERPOL, the FDA, international regulatory and law enforcement bodies, as well as pharmaceutical companies. The partnership announced yesterday that 1,677 of the websites were seized and shut down. A total of $41 million worth of illegal counterfeit drugs worldwide were also seized as part of the effort.
The week-long crackdown – Operation Pangea VI – took place from June 18 to June 25, 2013. The dangerous, fake drugs that were seized included treatments for many different conditions, including diabetes, arthritis, and high cholesterol.
Our industry has long supported efforts to crack down on counterfeit drugs and illegal online pharmacies. Back in March, 29 of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies joined with INTERPOL to create a new public-private partnership to combat counterfeit medicines. We are also proud to support the Partnership for Safe Medicines, a group of not-for-profit organizations and individuals which seeks to protect consumers from counterfeit or contraband drugs. It's great to see these efforts bearing fruit for patient health and safety.
Fake medicines are not only ineffective treatments; they can sometimes even contain "chalk, brick dust, paint, and even pesticides," according to Pfizer Senior Scientist Amy Callanan. So where can one go to find a safe place to buy medicines online? Check out BeSafeRx, a resource from the FDA that allows patients to see if an online pharmacy is properly licensed.

RICHMOND -- The Salesian High girls basketball program became relevant not long after Mariya Moore first suited up for the Pride.
The timing is no coincidence.
A 6-foot junior, Moore is regarded as one of the country's top underclassmen and has led Salesian in scoring, rebounding, assists and steals since her freshman season. But it's not just her constant double-doubles that have made the Pride one of the Bay Area's best programs.
"It's a tremendous (junior) class, but a lot of it has to do with Mariya because she makes everybody better," said Salesian coach Steve Pezzola. "I've said that a bunch of times, but it's just true. ... She makes other players focus and looks for them and what they're good at. It's just a remarkable skill that she has to make them better."
In the pre-Moore era, Salesian had gone 10 years without a single win in the North Coast Section playoffs. With her, the Pride needed just two seasons to win 31 games and reach the California Interscholastic Federation Division IV state final.
They ended up getting humbled on the big stage against La Jolla Country Day, but the attitude of the program has changed.
No longer are the Pride girls living in the shadow of the school's long-successful boys team. Now both programs are eyeing state championships as the postseason gets under way next week.
There's no question who will be leading the way for the girls.
The country's No. 19 ranked junior by Full Court (No. 33 by ESPN), Moore plays small forward for the Pride. Her versatility is what makes her so tough to slow down, though.
"I want to help wherever I can help. I wouldn't say I'm most valuable in a specific position," she said. "If I need to be a passer in a game, I can do that, if I need to be a scorer I can do that."
She certainly can score when necessary -- her career-high 37 points in a January overtime victory over St. Mary's included the game-winner. That win helped the Pride split the regular-season series with their top rival and capture a share of their first regular-season league crown.
Moore averages 17.9 points per game and is working on draining shots from beyond the arc at a more consistent rate, knowing many college coaches want to use her as a two-guard. She's getting attention from much of the Pac-12, as well as schools on the other side of the country, such as Louisville.
Moore also rebounds well (8.0 per game) and plays solid defense but takes the most pride in setting up her teammates.
"When I get home after a game, I always ask my mom about my assists first," said Moore, who averages seven per contest. "I'm more concerned with how many assists I got than points.
"I like when (my teammates) score, then they turn around and say, 'Thanks.' "
Moore can thank the father of another elite scorer and passer for getting her into the sport in the first place. She and Natalie Romeo were fourth-graders at St. Catherine's in Martinez, when Moore says Romeo's father convinced her to try out basketball.
Romeo is now a three-year starter at Carondelet and part of the East Bay's highly-regarded junior class. The group also includes the St. Mary's duo of Gabby Green, a top-10 national recruit, and Mikayla Cowling, who committed to Cal after her freshman season.
But not many have had the same impact at the high school level since day one as Moore.
"She was an amazing player when she came here," Pezzola said. "She had court vision like no one else did. ... She sees the floor better than anybody, and the rest of her skill sets, which she's humbly saying got better, were already very good.
"For Mariya, everything should be excellent, so if it's very good, Mariya's not happy."

Discussion in 'Fantasy / Horror' started by chris777, Aug 21, 2011.
Just to let people know that's NSFW. As in seriously NSFW.
Wasn't that funny either. CollegeHumo(u)r try way too hard.
I beg to differ. Very funny. And "seriously not safe for work" ? lol what are you allowed to watch at work if something that contains no nudity, cursing, or gore is not safe? The thrusting from a 4pixel anime character?
There's strong language in it, rather obvious sexual acts - Not Safe For Work, basically.
Depends where you work! OH!
I thought that was pretty funny. The clubbing you over the head aspect is right in tune with old school rpgs IMO
Reminds me so much of the yesterday of gaming
lol i love it now only if the did a fan reaction video to neds execution lol
There's also a deleted scenes video for the RPG
That's hilarious, I'd love to really play that game!
But on a more serious note, there are actually two Game of Thrones video games in the works. One is an RPG, the other is a real-time strategy game.
I wish that GRRM had sold the rights to Creative Assembly instead of Cyanide (who?). Westeros Total War would be an amazing game.
I think the rights will have been in a holding company which then 'hired' Cyanide. I don't think they own the rights any more than BioWare owned D&D.
As for who they are, Cyanide are a French developer, created by some people from Ubisoft, who've worked on licensed/inspired products. They did a game called Chaos League which was heavily inspired by Games Workshop's Blood Bowl, and then they got sued and made an actual Blood Bowl game. They've done some other stuff, too, but aside from Genesis, they're best known for Blood Bowl & Chaos League.
Good thing it's being worked on then
Though it's a fan mod for Medieval II and Kingdoms rather than something official, but given how lacklustre CA's official games have been for a while, that's not a bad thing.
I disagree Wert Shogun 2 was really good IMO. Usually mods don't have a campaign aspect though which would really be the main aspect of a Westeros: Total War I would want to be involved in.
Er, all Total War mods I'm aware of have campaigns. That's the main part of the game, multiplayer is only a minor facet of it. Certainly Westeros and Third Age (the fantastic LotR mod) have single-player campaigns.
Agreed, Shogun 2 has been reasonably good (and Napoleon was okay), but Empire was a monumental disaster, to the point where CA's reputation has been severely dented, particularly with regards to PR.
Oh yeah? I missed all that, I didn't have the hardware or the interest to even try Empire. How did they mangle themselves so badly on PR front? (imagining comments like F___ you, it is too good!)
The game was shipped in a virtually unfinished state, with very frequent crashes. The AI was abominably bad as well, even by normal TW standards. They also promised before the game came out that they would have 1) a multiplayer campaign mode and 2) be more moddable than any other TW title to date. In the event, 1) never happened and 2) was a blatant lie, as the Empire/Napoleon/Shogun 2 engine cannot be 'properly' modded (i.e. you can tweak unit stats and stuff, but you can't alter the campaign map and you can't create 'total conversion' mods like Westeros and Third Age). CA really didn't handle the PR very well at all.
Even worse, they did fix all the problems with the engine...but only in Napoleon, which they made a stand-alone game rather than an expansion to Empire (as it was originally intended). Which meant the bug fixes and patches they placed in Napoleon didn't retroactively fix the issues in Empire. All-told, not CA's finest hour.
Meanwhile, as a sign of what the mod team have been up to, here's a shot of the map depicting Dorne:
Very nice. Dorne looks to be very prone to seaborne invasion which I guess is appropriate lol.
Yup. In fact, we know now that's how Daeron I conquered Dorne. Whilst his land army drew the Dornish army into the Red Mountains and fought it there, his senior admiral, Oakenfist, sailed up the Greenblood, destroyed the Planky Town and landed a significant army behind the Dornish lines which simply marched up the coast and took Sunspear almost unopposed. A viable strategy in the game, anyway (if you're willing to risk storms in the Stepstones).
Separate names with a comma.

FORT WORTH – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Men's Tennis team suffered another tough loss on Wednesday night, falling by a 4-0 final to No. 67 TCU in a closely contested match at the Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center on the Horned Frogs campus.
The Islanders (0-3) lost to yet another nationally ranked team as TCU (4-1) came into the meeting with a No. 67 ranking in the latest ITA polls released on Wednesday afternoon. The Islanders competed hard with their lineup of five freshman and two sophomores on the 10-man team, including Ricardo Mayagoitia, the newest Islander who made his collegiate debut on Wednesday night.
TCU has lost just one match, coming last week when they served for the match against No. 20 Michigan before falling to the Wolverines.
"We lost to a very good TCU team tonight, a Top 25 level team in my opinion," said Director of Tennis Steve Moore. ""Give them credit, they fought back very hard to turn around the doubles point, and then showed up with tremendous energy and got on top of us in the singles."
Things started off with tense battles throughout doubles, as two of the matches went to tiebreak and the final one finishing at 8-5. Guillaume Rauseo and Gergo Weidinger led 5-4 before they fell by an 8-5 final at No. 3 doubles to give TCU the early lead.
The next to finish was Andrew Maingot and Matt Westmoreland suffering an 8-7 (8-6) loss at the No. 2 position to clinch the doubles point for the Horned Frogs. The final doubles match finished at 8-7 (7-1) as Peter Nagy and Odon Barta came up just short at the No. 1 position after serving for the match at 7-5 before TCU rallied.
In singles action Westmoreland absorbed a 6-0, 6-1 defeat to make it a 2-0 TCU lead. Mayagoitia saw his first collegiate action, suffering a 6-2, 6-2 loss at No. 5 singles to put TCU up 3-0.The match was closed out at No. 4 singles when Rauseo fell by a 6-2, 6-2 score to finish play.
"We're improving, I thought we competed extremely hard," said Moore. "We played outstanding in the doubles. I felt we lost some momentum when we let the doubles point slip away, but that's not acceptable because that is something we can control."
With the match being played indoors, the match was stopped once a team reached the four-point threshold. Nagy's match went unfinished at No. 1, Weidinger's at No. 3 and Pietro Jordao at the No. 6 spot.
"They say you're either winning or you're learning," said Moore." Right now we're doing some learning. We'll be fine, we just have to get back and do some extreme hard work to get ready for the next match."
Next up for the Islanders will be a Feb. 5 match at Prairie View to end the season opening home stand. Both the men and women play the Panthers that day, with the men coming home following the match for the first home contest on Feb. 14 against Nevada at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center.

SANTA CLARA -- James Jones was just entering his teen years when he received another harsh reminder about how difficult life can be.
This time, he and his mother were being evicted from their San Jose apartment because his mother couldn't afford the rent.
Jones headed to a homeless shelter, not for the first time, either; bringing with him only a basketball and a backpack. Today, wide receiver Jones is a rising star for the Green Bay Packers and no longer worried about where his next meal is coming from.
"San Jose proud," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said of Jones, a graduate of Gunderson High School and San Jose State. "James has done a great job. It's just a real credit to him. He has a great work ethic. He has always put in his time and has always been ready for the opportunities. And now he has been given the last year the opportunity and he is taking full advantage of it.
Indeed. Jones caught 64 passes for 784 yards and a league-high 14 touchdowns this season. All three totals represented career-highs.
On Saturday night, Jones returns to the Bay Area as a key member of the Packers' high-octane passing attack for an NFC divisional playoff game against the 49ers at Candlestick Park.
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has no shortage of options each time he drops back to pass, be it Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, Jermichael Finley, Greg Jennings or Jones, among others.
In fact, Rodgers set an NFL-playoff record against the Minnesota Vikings last Saturday by completing passes to 10 receivers. Jones, 6-foot-1 and 208 pounds, caught four for 51 yards in the Packers 24-10 victory.
Seven times this season, Jones has caught at least five passes in a game. He played particularly well the latter part of the season.
So, why the breakout season? Rodgers has a theory.
"After he and his wife had their first child, I've just noticed a guy who's been more focused at work and a little more dialed in," Rodgers said in an interview with the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
Jones agreed that he is more focused now than earlier in his career, when he gained a reputation for dropping too many catchable passes.
"During the game, I'm out there talking to myself saying things like, 'Stay focused. Stay hungry. The ball's gonna come. Aaron's gonna throw it to the open guy,' " Jones told NFL Network. "A lot of the players think I'm crazy.
"I remember Jabari Greer of the Saints walked by me, and I was talking to myself saying, 'Stay open.' He was like, 'Hey, man, you all right?' I told him, 'Yeah, man, I'm good. Just staying focused.' "
A new workout regimen in California this past offseason that included "some new, crazy stuff," Jones said, also helped him elevate his game.
Fourteen of Jones' 34 touchdowns came this season. His 64 receptions are almost 27 more than what he averaged his first five seasons.
Free safety Dashon Goldson said Wednesday that Jones, 28, is very much on the minds of the 49ers defense.
"He's a weapon for 'em," Goldson said. "He's definitely a deep threat and gets a lot of yards after the catch. He's a playmaker with his feet and uses his speed to get around people."
What separates Jones, Rodgers said, are his ability to make the tough catch and win more than his share of battles on contested passes. Seeing that makes Rodgers more inclined to keep looking Jones' way.
"It gives you a lot of confidence as a quarterback when he's able to make plays like that," Rodgers said. "He's had a great season and should have gotten some Pro Bowl consideration."
Maybe so, but you're not going to hear Jones complain, not after growing up without a father — he first met him when he was 7 — and bouncing in and out of shelters through most of his childhood and formative years.
After all, it's about perspective. Jones once made money for his mother by buying $5 worth of candy, selling it door to door and delivering the $25 profit to his mother.
Money no longer is an issue for Jones. He earned $2.4 million on his rookie contract that expired after the 2010 season. In August of 2011, the Packers re-signed Jones for $9.4 million over three years.
More impressive, Rodgers lobbied that offseason for the Packers to make re-signing Jones their No. 1 priority at a time when it was believed the Packers were prepared to part ways.
"You have to always remember where you came from and remember that money didn't mean much to you that back then," Jones said in 2007, when he signed his first contract. "I can't see money changing me if I had $70 million in my pocket right now. I'm happy with $20 because for years that's all I had, that $20. Now the money is just a blessing; I can do things that I always wanted to do, but couldn't."
He also has a college degree in his possession, making him the first to accomplish that, and a spot on one of only eight teams left in the NFL playoffs.
Those are things that no one can take away from him this time.

Entering "Ireland-America: The Ties that Bind," housed in Lincoln Center, one of New York City's finest arenas for the arts, it is easy to get overwhelmed. We're dealing with more than two centuries of performing arts history, after all. A television screen is on the right; posters and display cabinets are straight ahead; a sign describing the exhibition is just to the left; a playing fiddle and the sounds of feet tapping in tune can be heard. Head to the television and sit on the bench. The next 18 or so minutes will be thrilling as a video reel plays a representative variety of clips, including Michael Flatley performing in Lord of the Dance, a short interview with Liam Neeson, and a clip of Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau in a 1974 production of Sean O'Casey's Juno and the Paycock at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles.
Past the television, the gallery opens into its first and largest section, "Performing Ireland, Becoming American." Showcasing Irish-American stage performances since the 1800s, the space is brimming with broadsides, lithographs, programs, posters and more. The best way to see the exhibits is to crisscross the room. The walls are adorned: a poster for a production of Dion Boucicault's The Shaughran, another for Da by Hugh Leonard. Between the framed posters hangs a QR ("Quick Response") code. Anyone with a smart phone can use a QR code reader to decode the information, including special messages from Irish actors. Dispersed throughout the gallery, the QR codes really show spectators (at least, the smart-phone-equiped spectators) a new way to experience an exhibition. Nearby, another television monitor shows a continuous video of scenes from Irish plays performed in America, including Brian Friel's Philadelphia, Here I Come (1994 New York production) and the Broadway production of The Beauty Queen of Leenane by Martin McDonagh.
Three display cases in the middle of the room contain important and delicate items, likc a record of the music of Victor Herbert, the famous composer born in Dublin and raised in Germany. A piano sits along the right wall, adorned with photographs, a tune book and a sign inviting the spectator to sit down at the bench and play one of the tunes – maybe "The Wearing of the Green," or Thomas Moore's "The Minstrel Boy."
Signaling the end of this portion of the exhibition is a banner of Kitty O'Neil, legendary Irish dancer primarily of the New York stage of the late 1800s. Entering the next area, the eye is drawn to a glass display case in the middle of the room, containing traditional Irish dance costumes and shoes, many donated to the exhibition. Maura Mulligan, an Irish language teacher and céilí dance instructor, told Irish America about donating her Irish dance outfit to the exhibition. "My McNiff [School of Irish Dance] dance costume from 1960 is the oldest one in the collection of dance dresses, and it's a great honor to donate it to the exhibit...The costume, beautiful in its simplicity was designed by Mrs. McNiff, the teacher's mother."
The right side of the room features a video compilation on Irish dance, with performances by Chicago's Trinity Irish Dance Company, Celtic Tiger Live, an instructional scene on Irish dancing, and a peek into one of Jean Butler's master classes. Beneath the video is a small stage where visitors can try a step. On the far right is a showcase of traditional Irish music instruments, including a tin whistle, harp and button accordion. Nearby, iconic costumes from Riverdance are on display.
The left side is dedicated to Irish music and verse, with a comprehensive listening station. With four sets of headphones, a group can listen to the music together. There's a traditional rendition of "The Black Rose," as well as nontraditional versions of "The Minstrel Boy" performed by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros. More contemporary performers, such as U2 and Flogging Molly, mingle with Bing Crosby. Versions of "Danny Boy/Londonderry Air" are performed by a diverse group of performers including Elvis, Mahalia Jackson and John McCormack. Fionnula Flanagan reads from Molly Bloom's soliloquy at the end of James Joyce's Ulysses – a prime example of spoken verse.
Against the back wall of the gallery, the St. Patrick's Day exhibit is in clear sight. Look up: hanging above are a variety of county association banners. In a huge vitrine stand manequins donning an assortment of St. Patrick's Day Parade outfits dating back to the 1960s. Another video reel showcases highlights from past parades. Played at a faster speed, the clips from the older parades make the men and women marchers look as though they're skittering triumphantly up 5th Avenue. It might take a while, but watch patiently for the highlight of the reel: Gene Kelly performing "The Hat My Dear Old Father Wore Upon St. Patrick's Day" from Take Me Out to the Ball Game (1949). Anytime you get to watch Gene Kelly dance it's a phenomenal experience.

Airport seeking data from corporations
Published: Tuesday, January 8, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 7, 2013 at 4:11 p.m.
The Asheville Regional Airport is requesting assistance from corporations in the region to gather information so the airport can share that data with airliners for new, non-stop commercial air service.
"We want a realistic view of what corporation travel looks like in Western North Carolina," said Tina Kinsey, director of Air Service Development for the airport.
Airport officials are looking for recent travel patterns, including destination and budget information.
"It's important for airports to frequently monitor the travel needs of regional businesses, and make sure that air service is a reflection of their needs," said Andrew Tate, executive director of the Henderson County Partnership for Economic Development.
"Our job here at the airport is to advocate and be a liaison to help airlines know our market so they can make good use of their resources," Kinsey added.

- Seasonal (19)
Juice boxes are already waterproof, so they make terrific seed starters. Our cover-ups tie on to boxes like little garden aprons, and they include a ruler marked out in inches so junior gardeners can check to see how their plants are progressing.
Watch Ni Hao, Kai-lan only on Nick Jr.
Cut the top off each of the juice boxes. Rinse and let dry thoroughly. With the tips of scissors or a pen, punch three tiny holes in the bottom of each box for drainage.
Meanwhile, print the character cover-up images. Kids can use crayons, markers, or colored pencils to color them in. When they're finished, help kids cut them out.
Parents laminate each cover-up. Turn it over, and mark a ruler at 1-inch increments.
Use the hole punch to add one hole to each side of each cover-up. Snip a l0-inch pieces of jute. Pass one end through one hole from the back to the front of the cover-up. Repeat with the opposite end of the jute, passing it through the remaining hole. Set aside.
Have kids fill each box with potting soil. Then add 1 to 2 seeds, such as zinnias, to each box. (Follow the planting directions on the seed packet.)
Center one cover-up on the front of each box, tying the jute at the back, apron style. Place the boxes on a windowsill. When kids want to measure the growth, they can untie the cover-up to use the ruler on the back! Garden note: Make sure not to over-water because these planters are small. A tiny, tiny bit every two or three days is fine. And you may be able to go even longer.

All waterfowlers over 30 years of age remember the record prairie drought of the 1980s and early 1990s, when midcontinent mallard numbers declined to near-record lows. Older duck hunters may recall an equally severe drought during the 1960s that also ravaged the pothole country. During the dark days of the most recent duck depression, some members of the waterfowl-management community predicted that mallard populations would never recover to levels of the 1970s. Photo by Jon Huelskamp
But when wet weather returned to the prairies in 1994, mallards and most other prairie duck populations boomed. In 1999, the estimated mallard breeding population in the traditional survey area reached 10.8 million, the second-highest-recorded population since surveys were initiated in 1955. Photo by Robin Poole
DU and its partners in the North American Waterfowl Management Plan are working against the clock to permanently protect the most productive waterfowl habitat remaining on the prairies by purchasing cost-effective wetland and grassland easements and directly acquiring property from private landowners. Photo by Kim Taylor
Promoting wildlife-friendly public policies is another important component of DU's conservation strategy. In Washington, D.C., DU is working closely with the Administration and Congress to ensure that wetlands remain protected and that key conservation programs such as CRP, the Wetlands Reserve Program, and North American Wetlands Conservation Act are fully funded. In Canada, DU is working closely with federal officials to develop comparable conservation programs, which, if fully implemented, will have tremendous benefits for continental waterfowl populations. Photo by Michael McQuoid
Waterfowlers are fortunate that such a highly prized bird as the mallard is also so abundant and widely distributed. Mallards have proven time and again that, given sufficient habitat, they can flourish, even in ecosystems dramatically altered by man. Photo by Joshua Baklund
Ducks Unlimited is the only conservation organization working to conserve waterfowl habitat throughout the mallard's vast continental range, from Alaska to the Gulf Coast. And, with their habitats under siege like never before, DU and its partners in the North American Waterfowl Management Plan must strengthen their efforts to help ensure a bright future for the mallard and other waterfowl.

Andreessen Leads $10.3 Million Round for Web Cosmetics Purveyor Julep
Venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz said it led a $10.3 million investment in Julep Beauty Inc., a Web-based cosmetics retailer.
Seattle-based Julep and Andreessen Horowitz declined to give a valuation for the retailer based on the cash infusion. The funding round included Maveron LLC, a fund co-founded by Starbucks Chief Executive Howard Schultz.
Founded in August 2011, Julep has been adding users through its unusual subscription model, where customers get a box of nail polish, mascara or other cosmetics delivered monthly. The company, which also sells single makeup units, added more than 300,000 users online last year, said CEO and founder Jane Park.
"We're really bullish on e-commerce," said Jeff Jordan, who oversaw the Julep funding round, as a partner at Andreessen Horowitz, which counts ShoeDazzle Inc. and Fab Inc. among its investments. "The combination of a subscription and a la carte offering is very innovative."
Ms. Park said unlike other e-commerce sites Julep creates its own cosmetics, allowing it to more quickly develop colors or product types based upon the buying trends of its customers. Since launching, the site has created 52 new products and 186 different nail polish colors.
The subscription service costs $19.99 per month and customers get at least $40 worth of products, according to Julep's site. Subscribers also get a 20% discount on other cosmetics.
"Traditional beauty retailers are limited by shelf space," said Ms. Park, who also oversees four retail locations in the Seattle area. "We have the potential for unlimited inventory."

MARTINEZ, Ga. (WRDW) -- A traffic stop near mile marker 194 on I-20 ended in arrests on Wednesday.
After all three people had gotten out of the car, 23-year-old Deynae Monique Herring allegedly jumped back in and drove away.
Once a deputy chased and tracked Herring down, the deputy confiscated approximately 499 grams of cocaine and 15.5 ounces of marijuana. The drugs and over $5,000 were seized from the car.
Herring is charged with felony fleeing and attempting to elude an officer, trafficking in cocaine and felony possession of marijuana.
The other two people in the car, 34-year-old Tony Chevallier and 19-year-old Malcolm Lee Henry Jr., were charged with trafficking in cocaine and felony possession of marijuana.
All three suspects are from Clinton, N.C.

Whitewater Ramble will perform at Shakedown Bar in Vail tonight. The show is a release party for the band's second studio album, "Roots & Groove." The album was recorded more than eight days at Silo Sound in Denver.For the album, the band welcomed back Tim Carbone, of Railroad Earth, as producer for the second time. Carbone worked with the band on their genre-bending critically-acclaimed debut release "All Night Drive" in 2010.This is the second show the band will play on its Roots & Groove tour across Colorado, Idaho, Oregon, Montana, California and Wyoming."This release marks significant growth as a band from our debut album to our sophomore release," said Patrick Sites (mandolin, vocals). "Everything from songwriting to vocals and harmonies to instrumentation have taken major leaps ahead. 'All Night Drive' was a lot of jams, hype, fast tempos, but lacking on the song side of things. We've now settled into a blend of what we call 'Roots & Groove.' Our roots in bluegrass and Americana are still very strong and we really have some meaningful songs with messages and things we believe and feel. But the grooves are also a key element of these songs and necessary to keep feet moving and the dance party aspect. It's a great blend. 2013 will be the biggest and best year this band has seen, with a management team behind us and a new and mature record to put in people's hands. I think the band is poised and ready to make the leap into the national festival scene.""Roots & Groove" features an array of special guests such as Andy Hall on dobro (Infamous Stringdusters), Andy Thorn on banjo (Leftover Salmon), Grammy Award-winner John Macy on pedal steel, Bill McKay (Leftover Salmon, Derek Trucks Band) on piano and Tim Carone on electric guitar and vocals (Railroad Earth). The band has also released a new video for "Fast As Lightining" from the recording sessions for "Roots & Groove," plus a short album preview video.

We told you last month that Pamela Geller's wildly offensive pro-Israel ads, which paraphrase Ayn Rand to call Muslims "savages," were set to make their debut in New York City's subways sometime in September.
Well, 10 of those ads went up today, and it was only a few short minutes before several of them were vandalized by quick-on-their feet street artists out to remind everyone that, yes, it is racist to tacitly suggest that all Palestinians are monsters while Israelis are "civilized men." Good work, New York.

2012 Wild Horse GSM Central Coast
74% Syrah, 23% Grenache, & 3% Mourvèdre
This blend was very fun to make. Grenache and Mourvèdre both bring softness, red fruit, and spice, while the Syrah brings structure, color, and high-tone dark fruit. Aromatics are reminiscent of blueberry pie, with intense dark fruit, and subtle hints of vanilla and brown sugar. Blueberry, coupled with notes of ripe plum and vanilla, transfers to the palate and is carried through to the finish with soft tannins.
Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre are picked from our favorite cool climate vineyard sources. Cooler temperatures help to preserve spiciness and lend to darker fruit characters in Syrah. The Grenache is from Sweetwater Vineyard in Monterey County. Syrah is sourced from Rancho Sisquoc, located on a plateau tucked in Santa Barbara County, lending a hefty dollop of blueberry. Our Mourvèdre comes from two sites: Santa Barbara Highlands in Santa Barbara County and Derby Vineyard on the west side of Paso Robles.
Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre were all picked at optimal ripeness as determined by tasting. All varieties were punched down two to three times per day, and each lot spent at least 7-10 days on skins to maximize extraction and achieve softer tannins. After pressing, each lot was then racked once from tank into a mix of French and Hungarian new and neutral oak barrels for malolactic fermentation, followed by 14 months of aging. The Syrah was racked from barrel and returned to barrel once during aging.
Acidity brightens the mid-palate, and lends this wine to pair nicely with lamb chops and mint sauce, or pork tenderloin with blueberry balsamic reduction.

Needs may include clothing, school supplies, or other things, she said.
"We're just trying to be positive role models, as well as help them," Trammell said.
"I can't express enough how much we appreciate the community, and First Christian Church," Trammell added. "We are so, so grateful they thought of us."

Four more days to get that Christmas shopping done and four days for deputies to be on the lookout for criminals trying to steal the holidays. News 12 is on your side with what you can do to protect yourself.
Everyone is out doing their last minute holiday shopping and police say so are the thieves.
It's only six o'clock and so far for Deputy Bill Wood, it's been a relatively quiet night out on patrol.
"It's everybody getting out of work, last minute shoppers going around so things should be picking up," Deputy Wood said.
And by that, he means crime. So far for the month of December, he alone has seen about 25-30 of what police call "opportunity crimes."
"Where people leave their valuables in open and unlocked cars or where people leave things in open so they can easily smash windows to get what they're after," Wood said.
It's why Columbia County sheriffs have stepped up their patrol during the holidays.
"We move, we don't sit in one spot. We try to be as visible as we can and let everyone know we're around looking for anything that doesn't look right," Wood said.
So where are the most popular places crooks like to spend their time?
"The bigger shopping areas like Bobby Jones, Wal-Marts, Targets or the strip malls that draw a lot of attention. They'll go in stores, won't make any purchases, come out and go back in but still won't buy anything, so we'll check them out," Wood said.
He says the best thing you can do while you're out shopping is to be aware of your surroundings.
"If you're making eye contact with people they're gonna steer clear of you," Wood said.
Deputy Wood says most of the shopping centers like Target and Wal-Mart are safer than others because the areas are usually well lit and constantly being monitored. But if something does happen to you, he says the first thing you want to do is draw as much attention to yourself as you can.

Bote & Bock, GmbH
Founded on February 1st, 1838 by Eduard Bote and Gustav Bock (1813-1863) in Berlin with the purchase of the publisher C. W. Froehlich & Co. Expansion was rapid with the additional purchase of the Berlin firms Moritz Westphal (1840) and Thomas Brandenburg (1845). Eduard Bote withdrew from the business in 1847, and Bock's younger brother Emil (1816-1871) directed the company after its founder's death in 1863.
Gustav Bock's son Hugo (1848-1932) took over the reins next, acquiring the publisher Lauterbach & Kuhn in 1908. With the Lauterbach & Kuhn purchase came a substantial body of work from Max Reger. The company's headquarters in Berlin were completely destroyed in 1943.
The post-war period, under the leadership of Hugo Bock's son Gustav (1882-1953) and grandson Kurt Radecke (1901-1966), saw the establishment of a branch office in Wiesbaden (1948) and the reconstruction of the Berlin headquarters. From 1966 to 1995, the firm was a limited family partnership. It was sold to Boosey & Hawkes in 1995.
