Great app. I specifically like the GUI. It is much better than the SID players available for Windows. The auto update feature is a great way to keep your hvsc collection up to date. I wish you'd port this for Windows :)
Pretty glad this is Leopard-only, as it'll apparently convince Bitnix to upgrade so (s)he can stop whining about every other Leopard-only app.
This app + 8bc satisfies my chip needs pretty damn well...
No 10.4 support in 4.0? It's a shame.
Looking awesome. Guess this will be the final reason for me to upgrade to Leopard after all...
Doesn't download the HVSC updates on Leopard? :(
No new Version since 2006. :(
Can't beat the old school sound of the SID chip. Download the entire HVSC and you're set.

MILWAUKEE -- Not even the polar vortex can cool off the Warriors.
Continuing to rack up historic achievements, the Warriors' Victory Tour swooped into sub-zero Wisconsin on Tuesday night and cruised to a 101-80 win over the lowly Milwaukee Bucks at BMO Harris Bradley Center.
It was close for a half and then the Warriors dropped the defensive hammer on the NBA's worst team (7-27) in the third quarter, outscoring the Bucks 27-9 over the first nine minutes, bumping the lead to 20 and coasting home.
Well, not quite home. One to go before it's finally back to Oakland. For now, settle for the staggering numbers and feats review in the wake of this latest win.
That last one literally rendered Warriors coach Mark Jackson with the lump in his throat and a tear in the corner of his eye as he contemplated the magnitude of it.
"We're this close, we're going to chase history," Jackson said. "Who would have thought we'd have an opportunity to do something that hasn't been done in the history of this league?
"A great preacher once said that greatness does not go on sale. I know my guys have paid the price, and I'm incredibly proud of them."
He should be. Over the past 10 games, the Warriors have thrust themselves out of the muck of mediocrity and placed themselves among the league's elite. They ran their record to 19-3 when they've had their optimum starting five of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Bogut, David Lee and Andre Iguodala. They held an opponent under 40 percent shooting (the Bucks shot 38.8) for the 15th time, tied for the league's best with Indiana.
And on this night, as it has been on several nights of late, Lee was the pace-setter. He made his first nine shots and ultimately finished with 22 points on 10-of-12 shooting. He added a season-high 18 rebounds, including six at the offensive end.
"I'm just trying to be more aggressive," Lee said. "I think the team needs me to be more aggressive in the paint because we have so many good jump shooters we need somebody who's going to be around the rim. That opens up our shooters as the game goes on."
Jackson mused about taking Lee out of the game when he saw the 9 for 9 stat.
"I wanted to try to leave him perfect, but he took a jump shot," the coach said. "I'll tell you what, though. Steph Curry is an All-Star and there is no doubt about that. But the way David Lee has played the last 15 ballgames or so, he is an All-Star also. He has separated himself."
What's remarkable is that the Warriors have been on this junket for 11 days now and they don't look tired. Because the bench played so well against the Bucks, nobody was overtaxed. Curry played 36 minutes and Lee 35, but no one else had over 30 heading into the second half of the back-to-back.
Bogut, in his Milwaukee homecoming, played only 24 minutes, scoring eight points with 12 rebounds, but he was beaming afterward about the Warriors' performance on this trip.
"It's been tough," he said. "Tough games, a lot of flights, bodies banged up, but we're pushing through it. It's enjoyable going to get on a flight to Brooklyn having won another game. There's no negativity, and that's what it's all about. These are the memories down the line you'll look back at and say, 'Wow, that was a really special season.' So we have to keep doing it." Jackson wasn't sure if this long road trip was just what the Warriors needed to bond tighter and kick it up a notch.
"It sounds good," he said. "I've seen it be good for teams and I've seen it be bad for teams. It helped us last year, and I think we came in with the right mindset. We've had a together group from day one, and we've gotten healthy with a first unit that can play with anyone. It's been an incredibly blessed year so far, and we just want to keep it going."
Curry and Thompson supported Lee's effort with 15 points apiece, although they were a combined 11 for 36 shooting, 3 for 17 from beyond the arc.
Ersan Ilyasova led Milwaukee with 20 points.

Post subject: Recommend a good iPhone app to keep track of your baby daily
Hello Mums & Dads,
Does anybody ever use iPhone app to keep track of your babies daily log such as milk, bath, sleep, nappy, sick, growth, journal, etc?
I was looking for such free app for long and recently I found one which is quite useful. It's called Baby Tracker +.
Check out this application on the App Store:
Free version already covered a lot of daily activity logs which are good enough to me.
Paid version contains some interesting things like Journals, Medicines, Chart and online/offline back and restore functions.
Try out the free version before you purchase the paid version.
They have a Facebook page to brief and show the demo of the app:
best regards,

Our Melbourne Web Course teacher Petr Tichy, has written a great guide for those looking to get their hands dirty with a bit animation on the web. He's cleverly broken it down into two parts. Part one focuses on animation you can achieve with CSS3, while part two ups the ante and covers some JavaScript approaches to web animation.

WASHINGTON (November 13, 2012)--Congress is back after a seven-week election break and looming large in the lame-duck session that started Tuesday is the urgent need for President Barack Obama and Congress to resolve how to avoid the double economic hit of tax increases and automatic spending cuts to defense and domestic programs kicking in Jan. 1.
Those negotiations could take weeks.
In the meantime, Democrats and Republicans are picking up where they left off on several bills while orienting their newest members, 12 in the Senate and some 70 in the House.
Both parties meet Wednesday morning in the Senate to decide leadership jobs, with Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, expected to move up to the GOP's No. 2 spot.

July 21, 2006
Back to school means back to the stores. Shopping for things like backpacks and calculators can get pretty expensive.
News 12's Stephanie Baker caught up with some shoppers today.
Everything kids need for school adds up...that's why the United Way School Tools Drive is collecting donations to help people who can't afford to buy supplies.
Notebooks, markers, backpacks...it all adds up. Especially for one father we met who has four school-age children.
"It will get expensive sooner or later...wait till we get to the end of it," he says.
For some, the list is a little shorter.
"Crayons...she only needed crayons and scissors, and that was it," said another parent.
But buying these things is harder for several thousand low-income families across our area.
"The United Way is collecting for underprivileged kids who can't afford school supplies," says Latrise Simpson, a United Way volunteer we ran into.
Volunteers with the United Way School Tools Drive are handing out supply lists, asking people to make a contribution.
News 12 went through and got everything on the list. The total came to over $50 dollars.
$50 a child adds up. US Census data shows thousands of American families live below the poverty level. Imagine trying to stretch $15,000 a year for a family of four.
Whether you're worried about prices or just fighting the crowds, one thing's for sure: school supplies are a must, and the first day is fast approaching.
The United Way will accept donations through August 11 at the North Augusta and Aiken Wal-Marts, the North Augusta Office Depot, and G Force Cable.
School is about to start, and the supplies fly off the shelf around this time of year.
Things are pretty well stocked right now, but it will all be tax-free the weekend of August 5, and the manager at Target says there won't be a whole lot left after that.

Ashland Police Chief Terry Holderness declined to say whether police found any evidence linked to the murder of David Grubbs while serving three search warrants in Ashland and Talent Wednesday.
"We're not arresting anybody that lives at any of those residences," Holderness said.
He said police have served about six similar warrants during the course of the Grubbs investigation.
No suspect has been named.
"My concern is that neighbors are going to be worried about whether the people that live in those houses were involved in something they weren't," he said.
Search teams have returned to the Rapp Road property today to continue their work.

text: What are your thoughts on this issue? It seems to me that most traditional publishers tend to favor a highly descriptive style which includes lots of detail about many things. However, I personally prefer to write in a more concise, fast-paced style, focused on what happens in the story - action, dialogue, and so forth. This is the type of pacing I prefer to read as well, and I also think it might be more true to many third or first person POVs. That is, would you or I really think about the type of fabric the jacket we put on every morning is made of? Probably not, most of the time, and IMO the same would likely hold true for most characters (who has been living in that world their whole life) interacting with things they use or see every day. Opinions?

Michael D. Lairmore, DVM, PhD, dean of the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, oversees all School of Veterinary Medicine activities, personnel, facilities and funding resources. He presides over the William R. Pritchard Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, the California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory System, the Veterinary Medicine Teaching and Research Center in Tulare, Veterinary Medicine Extension and other centers of excellence.
Lairmore came to the school from The Ohio State University. He served as a professor and associate dean for research and graduate studies at the College of Veterinary Medicine, where he led a successful sponsored research and commercialization program. He also served as associate director of the university's Comprehensive Cancer Center. While Chair for the Department of Veterinary Biosciences, he received unanimous praise for leading his department to new heights in research funding and scholarly achievement.
He is committed to finding new ways for the school and its faculty to contribute to the health of the animals and people while being good stewards of the environment and the economy of California. His goals include building mission-focused programs that will continue to provide outstanding education for society-ready veterinarians and that will produce innovative research findings to address important problems ranging from clinical veterinary medicine to public health.
Lairmore earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from the University of Missouri at Columbia. He is board certified in veterinary anatomic pathology as well as virology and immunology, and he holds a doctorate in experimental pathology. He is one of the few veterinarians elected as a member of the Institute of Medicine, the health arm of the National Academy of Sciences.

Lairmore is a scientist who bridges multiple disciplines to address basic questions related to viral causes of cancer. His research has provided significant breakthroughs in the biology of the human retroviruses and the understanding of viral-associated carcinogenesis. He developed one of the first models of AIDS-associated pediatric pneumonia. After developing a reference laboratory at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for Human T cell leukemia/lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1), he discovered the first HTLV-2 infection in native Indian populations in Central America, subsequently recognized as an endemic infection among American Indian populations throughout North and South America. Lairmore has authored or co-authored more than 175 scientific publications.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Catherine Lu (702) 486-6982 / 334-7953 firstname.lastname@example.com (Carson City, NV; September 24, 2012) – All Nevada military ballots and ballots to Nevadans covered by the federal Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) are in the mail and on their way to eligible Nevada voters. Under federal law, UOCAVA ballots must be mailed 45 days in advance of the election. All 17 county clerks and registrars of voters have confirmed that all valid requests are being transmitted pursuant to applicable state and federal laws. Reports based on rumors that the ballots would not be delivered on time were inaccurate according to the Nevada Secretary of State's office. "The timely mailing of these ballots is critical," said Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller. "Just more than a week ago I was honored to visit our troops in the Middle East, including the officers and enlisted personnel who manage and oversee the elections process among the troops. We assured them that they'd have the ballots on time so that their votes would count. As the people who are on the front lines of protecting democracy, we owe them that." In July of this year, Nevada was named one of just fifteen "all-star states" by the Military Voter Protection Project (MVPP). The MVPP cited Secretary Miller's proactive approach to military and absentee voting issues including his leadership in Nevada's passage of the Uniform Military and Overseas Voting Act, and the use of internet technology to allow members of the military to determine whether their ballot has been received and counted.

The Top Twitter Trends of 2012
Twitter is out with its top trends for 2012 and, according to its data, the U.S. election was one of the most viral moments in the history of the social network.
The Twitter community, which now consists of more than 140 million active users worldwide, sent out more than 31 million election-related tweets on Election Day with the conversation hitting a peak of more than 327,000 tweets per minute as news organizations tallied the results that evening.
Another Twitter highlight was the Big Bird moment. Mitt Romney's announcement that he would cut funding for PBS – and Big Bird – caused a stir on the social network with 130,000 tweets per minute after the mention.
The biggest winner, though, is President Obama himself.
His tweet "Four more years," which he posted right before he took the stage in Chicago for his speech on Election Day made it to the top of the list of the most viral tweets of the year with more than 800,000 retweets.
Mr. Obama even out-tweeted Justin Bieber, whose tweet about a fan who had died was re-posted by more than 220,000 users.
Watch a video with WSJ's Monika Vosough with more Twitter trends from 2012 below.

A few French sugar cubes, a cafe cup and a glass. Your bottle of Vittel and you're set.
26, rue Saint-Benoit, 75006
Just don't go before noon-CLOSED!
I have a tin of coffee I bought from Venice. I only use it on days when I feel like a nice trip back is needed.
My parents bought me an adorable coffee mug from London with a pug dog and the British flag around it.
I have been thinking about filling my kitchen with my photography of food. Maybe one day I'll get around to it.
The Wanderfull Traveler
Yes, I have some cafe items.
I had Flore ship a coffee cup as I didn't want to carry it.
when I got home they had sent the demi. cup and saucer which I don't want.
Do you have a regular size cup and saucer you would like to swap?
A restaurant in Poland gave a couple of us their white cups with black writing around the band saying, "Coffee Cafe au lait, Cappuccino, Expresschoc, chocolate, chocomlk,".
cup made in Lubiana.
assorted match boxes.
All I have are a set of tiny fridge magnets - I have no idea why I bought these of all things.
I do have ONE Cafe de Flore precious glass.
C'est toute!
I always forget about sugar cubes! I remember the line in Le Divorce (the movie version, at least) when Naomi Watts' character says her mother-in-law is annoyed she doesn't have sugar cubes like a proper French girl!
I WISH we had a café culture in New York City. Such a civilized way to drink coffee and tea – no disposables headed to the landfill.
I loved this post. Not only have I been there, but I have the first CD and am thrilled there is another one out........We play it in the shop. There is a song on it by Bridgitte Bardot and she sounds like she is so TIRED... And Ertha Kitt Sings Je Cherche Un Homme, My favorite!!!!!!!Maryanne xoReplyDelete
WOW! I love today's painting, Carol, even more than usual.
Looks very "Cezannesque" to my eye.
I wonder if the master preferred coffee, or tea?
Maybe both.
.. great post ... yes a break from food we can't eat .. it's a very nice watercolor ... I have been back to that cafe shop a hundred times, am, pm, evening and never found it open. Love the keychain ..ReplyDelete
Speaking of Deux Magots...what is a magot? Surely not a maggot!ReplyDelete

Almost at the same time as this latest release, the LiVES team has started a fund raising drive, with a targe of US$6000. Further details of how the money will be spent can be found on the LiVES website.

You can make a difference
Published: Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 9:06 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 9:06 p.m.
With the arrival of a new year, many of us take the opportunity to make resolutions — about losing weight, working a little harder at our jobs or spending more time with family.
One resolution we should all make is to resist the urge to litter and to recycle when possible.
Yes, it's easier just to throw that trash in the back of the truck where it will blow out the next time you get on the highway.
And it's easier to throw away those plastic and glass containers rather than recycle them.
But it is something we could all do that, put together, could make a real difference for our state.
Louisiana spends an estimated $40 million per year to deal with litter.
With our state cutting higher education and health care to address a shrinking revenue stream, that $40 million could do a lot of good.
So I ask everyone in our community to make a simple resolution in 2013: Put litter in its place and recycle when possible.
It doesn't take much effort, could save our state millions of dollars, and would make our roadsides much more pleasant to travel.
You can also join your local Keep Louisiana Beautiful affiliate.
Let's work to keep Louisiana more beautiful in 2013.

Heart Failure: Tracking Your Weight
You have a condition called heart failure (also known as congestive heart failure, or CHF). When you have heart failure, a sudden weight gain or a steady rise in weight is a warning sign that your body is retaining too much water and salt. This could mean your heart failure is getting worse. Weighing yourself each day is the best way to know if you're retaining water. If your weight goes up quickly, call your doctor. You will be given instructions on how to get rid of the excess water. This will help your heart work better.
Call your doctor if you gain more than 2 pounds in 1 day, or more than 5 pounds in 1 week, or whatever weight gain you were told to report by your doctor. This is often a sign of worsening heart failure. Your doctor will tell you what to do next.
Tips for weighing yourself
Weigh yourself at the same time each morning, wearing the same clothes. Weigh yourself after urinating and before eating.
Use the same scale each day. Put it on a flat, hard surface — not on a rug or carpet.
Do not stop weighing yourself. If you forget one day, weigh again the next morning.
How to use your weight chart
Keep your weight chart near the scale. Write your weight on the chart as soon as you get off the scale.
Fill in the month and the start date on the chart. Then write down your weight each day. Your chart will look like this:
If you miss a day, leave the space blank. Weigh yourself the next day and write your weight in the next space.
Take your weight chart with you when you go to see your doctor.

Six Terrebonne oystermen arrested
Published: Tuesday, June 18, 2013 at 4:28 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 18, 2013 at 4:28 p.m.
Six Terrebonne Parish oystermen were arrested late last week for taking oysters during a closed season, according to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Enforcement Division.
Agents arrested Hunter Daisy, 19, of Theriot, Darren Billiot, 48, of Theriot, and Rocky Rel, 34, of Houma, on a charge of unlawfully taking oysters during a closed season from the Sister Lake seed ground, according to a Wildlife and Fisheries news release. They were booked into the Terrebonne Parish jail Friday.
On Saturday, agents said they arrested Santiago Martinez, 50, of Houma, Luis Carbajal, 22, of Chauvin, and Jose Catarino, 28, of Theriot, on a charge of taking oysters from an unapproved area in Bayou Sauveur. They were also being held in the Terrebonne Jail.
Agents arrested Daisy, Billiot and Rel after seeing them dredging in a boat in a closed area, Wildlife and Fisheries said. They returned eight sacks of oysters to the water, according to state officials.
Agents said they arrested Martinez, Carbajal and Catarino after seeing them taking oysters from an unapproved area. Agents were able to return four sacks of oysters to the water.
Taking oysters from an unapproved area carries a fine between $400 and $950 and up to 120 days in jail. Taking oysters during a closed season carries a fine between $100 and $350 and up to 60 days in jail.
If convicted, the men may be required to only harvest oysters with vessels tracked by Wildlife and Fisheries for up to a year.
Agents involved in the cases were Senior Agents Stephen Rhodes and Dean Aucoin, and Sgt. Bryan Marie.

text: More often than not, the subject of a horror film will tap into some outlandish, otherworldly, or supernatural elements, eschewing the fears of the real world for the more heightened terror of fantasy. There are the rare occasions (and rare filmmakers) who are resolutely planted in the world of real-life horror, frightening stories that may not have happened, but certainly could. Director David Cronenberg is the reigning king of this type of film.

I was previously using QCad 126.96.36.199 community edition packaged with Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04), which inter-operated with our machine shops just fine. Since I have moved to QCad Pro 22.214.171.124, all of our shops can't open or import our files to their CAM systems.
Arcs are not shown in Autocad 2004 - although endpoint and radius information seem to be available, the arc is not drawn on the screen, although full circles and lines are drawn. The OMAX CAM software gives a message about an unhandled setting and refuses to import the DXF file.
Anyone know where the differences lie between QCad community and Pro?

This week's rugby press has been dominated by discussions regarding the personnel for this summer's British Lions tour to Australia. I must say I've not been in total agreement with anyone's picks so far, so I decided to pick my own squad and Test XV.
Before I start my rundown, there are a few ground rules we need to observe, and a few false assumptions which require correction. Firstly, let's bust a couple of myths:
1. Australia have a weak scrum, so there's no point in taking strong scrummagers.
This is patent nonsense. Australia's scrum has improved immensely over the past decade. They wouldn't be one of the top 3 ranked teams in the world if they didn't have a decent scrum. The Lions will need to dominate this facet of play in order to win the Test series. With the rules and referees' interpretations the way they are now, the team with the dominant scrum wins the game. It's as simple as that. Furthermore, a prop's number one job is to scrummage well. You may be "deadly in the loose", but that is not your main job, so you're not getting picked. Sorry.
2. Australia's rugby pitches are "hard and fast."
Not in the winter they're not. Australian cricket pitches are hard and fast in the summer. Don't get these two things mixed up, and don't pick players on the basis of whether the grass is green and long, or brown and short.
3. Play to their strengths
Finally, before I move on to my selections, a word about picking people out of position. I'm not going to do this. OK, I am. But only once. Usually I'd avoid it, but circumstances dictate. In general I don't think it's a good idea to force someone to play somewhere other than their natural position. But if they want to, and they're very good at it, then that's OK.
4. The Gatland game plan
Warren Gatland is the Lions Head Coach, and he will dictate the team strategy and we need to consider this when selecting our squad. There is no point in picking players who can't play Gatlandball. That means big three-quarters to bash the gain line, a blitz defence and a monstrous scrum. It's crude, simple but effective.
Now we've laid the ground rules, let's cut to the chase. After last weekend's events at the Millennium Stadium, the selection of a Lions squad is always going to have a distinctly red hue. It is an inescapable fact that Wales blew England apart on Saturday. In a game that was being billed as a "Lions Trial", there were some casualties from the ranks of the men in white. So I'm not going to apologise for the fact that there are a lot of Welshmen in my squad. They say form is temporary and class is permanent, so if you've just won back-to-back Six Nations Championships then it's fair to say that class and form are both catered for.
Leigh Halfpenny (Test XV)
Rob Kearney
Stuart Hogg
Leigh Halfpenny has been peerless throughout Wales' last two winning championship seasons. He is the complete package in attack and defence. Kearney has been playing in an Irish team decimated by injury, but he cannot match Halfpenny's defensive qualities and lacks a few yards of pace. Hogg has impressed in the championship but he came off a distant second when he faced Halfpenny at Murrayfield.
George North (Test XV)
Alex Cuthbert (Test XV)
Tim Visser
Simon Zebo
Over the past two seasons Alex Cuthbert has proved to be one of the world's most clinical finishers. He may only get 2 or 3 chances per game, but he rarely fluffs them. George North can bust tackles and hand off at will. Add that to an ice-cold temperament and heroic defensive capabilities and you have the complete modern back-three player. Big things were expected of Visser but he hasn't set the world alight over the past couple of months. I've included a wild card in the form of Ireland's Zebo. He was injured for most of the championship but his dazzling display of footballing ability against Wales on the opening weekend makes him an outside chance of coming through on the rails over the course of the tour.
Brian O'Driscoll (Test XV)
Jamie Roberts (Test XV)
Manu Tuilagi
Jonathan Davies
In Roberts and O'Driscoll we re-unite the centre combination from the last Lions tour where the Springboks were pushed so close. If O'Driscoll can make it to the first Test unscathed then he should start. Roberts has grown in confidence over the Six Nations and looks to have hit top form. He is a defensive leader and this is often overlooked by those who think a modern centre's job is merely to run the right attacking lines. Gatland's game is all about defence, and Roberts fits the bill perfectly. Jonathan Davies has the ability to break the line and would prove a more than able substitute should O'Driscoll fail to make it. Tuilagi appears to have the ability to play Gatland's way, although his handling skills seem to let him down more often than they should.
Jonathan Sexton
Dan Biggar
Jonny Wilkinson (Test XV)
Another surprise selection here in the form of multiple Lion and World Cup winner Jonny Wilkinson. OK, so maybe not such a surprise. A couple of months ago Sexton was in the box seat for the Test starting position, but injury has robbed him of his chance to secure his place. Dan Biggar's performances have improved over the tournament, culminating in his masterful display against England. It's Biggar's dominance of his rival Owen Farrell which has cost the young Englishman his place on the tour. Wilkinson has been outstanding for Toulon again this season and has exactly the kind of composure needed to manage a game against the Australians.
Mike Phillips (Test XV)
Greig Laidlaw
Danny Care
Phillips is peerless in his position at the moment. He is the best scrum-half in the world and there is no need to say any more.
Adam Jones (Test XV)
Gethin Jenkins (Test XV)
Dan Cole
Paul James
Adam Jones has been the best tight head prop in world rugby for several years now, but it seems some pundits have only just worked this out. England threw two props at him on Saturday and he ate them both and spat them out. Wales had the luxury of choosing between the raw scrummaging power of Paul James and the super-human Gethin Jenkins. With Mike Phillips, Gethin Jenkins means that you have five back row players instead of three. His work rate and experience are unrivalled. Dan Cole will be glad to be on the same side as him for a change.
Richard Hibbard (Test XV)
Ken Owens
Rory Best
This is a position where a number of contenders have ruled themselves out due to their propensity for giving away penalties. Hibbard has transformed himself in the past few years and we hope that Gatland has been as impressed with his progress as everyone else has. Rory Best is still a favourite of many pundits but he lacks the bulk and scrummaging prowess to force his way into the Test XV.
Alun-Wyn Jones (Test XV, Captain)
Ian Evans
Richie Gray (Test XV)
Joe Launchbury
Jones has stormed back from injury and is in the form of his career. He's my choice as captain because he has the experience needed to secure his position in the side, he's a winner, and he's a leader. Evans, Gray and Launchbury have all worked their socks off in the championship and I expect they will run each other very close for the other second row Test spot.
Blindside flanker
Ryan Jones
Chris Robshaw
Dan Lydiate
Robshaw is considered in his natural position and is a strong candidate for the captaincy of the midweek side. Ryan Jones' ability to play at lock, blindside and number eight means he often gets put on the bench or has to cover for an injured colleague. He remains one of the best back row forwards in world rugby and it seems a shame to leave him out of the Test XV. He has forced his way into contention on a Lions tour before, however. Lydiate has missed most of the season with a broken ankle, but he may yet force his way back into contention for a starting place in the first Test.
Openside flanker
Sam Warburton (Test XV)
Justin Tipuric (Test XV)
Kelly Brown
Tipuric and Warburton starting a game together in the back row was a mouth-watering prospect, and what a sumptuous feast it proved. A perfect combination to give the aggressive Australian back row a run for their money. Warburton's guts with Tipuric's guile. I can't wait.
Number eight
Toby Faletau (Test XV)
John Beattie
Jamie Heaslip
Heaslip is another player who was talked up as a potential Lions captain before the Six Nations. Now he is lucky to be on the plane. Ireland have suffered a string of injuries and this has not helped his chances. Faletau's fortunes have moved in the opposite direction: upwards. A big ball carrier and heroic in defence.

The Place Beyond The Pines
Drama / Crime
Director: Derek Cianfrance
Running time: 141 mins Released: 12th April 2013
About The Place Beyond The Pines
The director of Blue Valentine teams up with Ryan Gosling again in this gritty and violent tale of familial conflict. This time round it's the father-son bond rather than marital relations that take centre stage. Stunt rider Luke (Gosling) works at a travelling carnival. Seemingly suited to transient life, he changes his attitude when he has a son with Romina (Eva Mendes). He accepts a job with a shady mechanic (Ben Mendelsohn) and his desire to provide for his family pushes him into criminality, which attracts the attention of street cop Avery (Bradley Cooper). Separated by wealth and opportunity, Luke and Avery both have children to support and people they've let down. But their destinies are already mapped out by their differences.

Where is Deborah Dill?
That's what her daughter wants to know after her disappearance two months ago.
Richmond County investigators believe foul play is involved in the disappearance of 48-year-old Deborah Dill.
It's been two months since anyone has seen or heard her from Deborah.
And while investigators say Deborah's husband John Dill has stopped cooperating with them, John did talk to News 12 about his wife who seemed to vanish.
Family members say 48-year-old Deborah Dill would not stay gone this long.
It's been two months since daughter Amanda Daniels has heard from her mother.
"It's not like her to disappear like this," Amanda says.
No one seems to know where she is, not even her husband John.
Deborah and John married last December.
The two have had a rocky relationship. Investigators have taken family violence reports at their home on numerous occasions.
"The last thing she said is, 'If you leave I won't be here when you get back,' and I didn't believe her," John told News 12. "A lot of her stuff was gone; I just assumed that she left me."
Richmond County Sheriff's Lt. Scott Peebles says John Dill has not be eliminated as a suspect...in fact, Dill has stopped cooperating with police.
"The fact that she had been missing a month before she had been reported missing only from her family," Lt. Peebles says. "And that her husband never reported her missing at all."
"I have been as cooperative as I can, but there is a point where I'm not going to let them push me into something where I feel like I'm guilty of something," John Dill said.
In an incident report filed 6 months before the Dills were married, Deborah said her soon-to-be husband told her, "I will take care of you before I let my family suffer from this, and I might go to jail but you are going to hell."
We asked John if he remembered saying that to Deborah.
"Yes, I did," John said.
"Obviously we can't discount the things reported to us in the four plus incident reports that we have involving the disputes between the two of them," says Lt. Peebles.
John Dill is not a suspect in this case, but he has not been eliminated.
If you know anything about Deborah Dill's disappearance, call the Richmond County Sheriff's Office at 706-821-1080.

The state Game and Parks Commission is reminding Nebraskans that part of their tax refund can go toward wildlife and habitat conservation.
Commission members say the tax check-off on 2012 state income tax forms allows individuals to donate all or a part of their tax refund to the Wildlife Conservation Fund.
Kristal Stoner, the commission's wildlife diversity program manager, says the check-off is one of the main sources of state funding that protects and helps manage more than 95 percent of nongame fish and wildlife species in the state.
The check-off is on Line 42 of Nebraska state income tax forms. Donations can also be made online or by mail, to the Wildlife Conservation Fund in Lincoln.

PhRMA supports Secretary Burwell's goal of advancing affordable, high quality and patient centered health care, and today's announcement represents an important step forward.
The Catalyst
Most Recent Posts
Now that 2015 is underway, it's time to put our guiding principles into action. Our goal is to build on successes from 2014 to help patients live long, healthy lives. This week we started to put those plans into motion. We hope you'll take an active interest in what we're working on this year and share your thoughts with us.
Developing innovative, lifesaving medicines for patients is the sole focus of the biopharmaceutical industry. PhRMA member companies invested more than $50 billion in research and development (R&D) in 2013 and over half a trillion dollars since 2000. This represents the vast majority of all biopharmaceutical R&D spending – both private and government – in the United States.
When President Obama held his end-of-year press conference last month, he struck a clear and upbeat tone: "A new future is ready to be written. We've set the stage for this American moment. And I'm going to spend every minute of my last two years making sure that we seize it."
In 2014, the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) approved a record 41 new medicines, making it a particularly strong year of innovation for America's biopharmaceutical companies. This continues a trend in recent years towards a higher annual number of new medicines.
Why are medicines expensive? As we've noted previously, it's a good question that deserves a thorough, balanced discussion.
By all accounts, 2014 presented a number of opportunities and challenges that highlighted just how important it is to keep the patient at the center of our ongoing efforts. It's a notion that extends well beyond our industry, and should be a guiding principle as we head into 2015.
In 1989, while the world watched the Berlin Wall fall and history opened a new chapter, researchers in government and private labs half a world away were documenting a different beginning: the identification of the hepatitis C virus.
For the past 25 years, the resulting disease has remained largely incurable and often fatal for the world's 170 million patients with the disease. Until now.
What if the information you need to make the most informed decision is not available?
Today, I had the chance take part in a Google+ Hangout organized by TEDMED. A part of TEDMED's Great Challenges series, the Hangout, titled, "A Delicate Balance: How Can We Rightsize Treatment Costs,?" was a lively discussion among stakeholders from across the health care ecosystem.
Setting the record straight about participation in clinical trials.
"When compounded products are not made according to strict quality standards appropriate for their scale of production, the results can be deadly." Six public health organizations wrote this to FDA Commissioner Hamburg to voice strong support on FDA's robust enforcement of the federal law on compounding.
Biopharmaceutical Companies Reaffirm Commitment to Patients in Updated Principles on Conduct of Clinical Trials and Communication of Clinical Trial Results
Researchers in biopharmaceutical companies strive to discover and develop new medicines and vaccines that will help people to live longer, healthier lives. They go to work every day knowing that patients with life-threatening diseases live with the hope that tomorrow will bring a new medicine that will extend and improve lives.
Following several years of modest growth, a new study published in Health Affairs reports a record low health care spending increase of 3.6 percent in 2013. The last time the annual growth rate was any smaller, Dwight Eisenhower was President and a gallon of milk cost 49 cents. The year was 1960.
Today is World AIDS Day, and we're examining the tremendous progress we've made turning what was once considered a virtual death sentence into a chronic condition. The fact that the death rate for HIV/AIDS patients has decreased nearly 85 percent since its peak in the mid-1990s is a testament to the dedicated researchers who worked tirelessly to develop new medicines like those that make up highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) that transformed how we treated the disease.

A recent article caught my eye and turned it a nice shade of red. It discussed the -- hardly new -- idea that the future of software usage must involve a mixture of free and proprietary products -- something the writer refers to as "mixed source". The piece was entitled "Mixed source - the best of both worlds" which may give you a clue as to where I disagree with it.
The article was an opinion piece by Steve Harris, senior director for open source products at Novell in issue 78 of Linux User & Developer magazine. Sadly it's not yet available on-line and I don't honestly know if it will be. If it is I'll post a comment with a link here so you can read it for yourself.
Nothing new under the sun
As I said, the idea that software stacks will become a mixture of free and proprietary products is nothing new. Indeed lots of people are already using such stacks. Personally I believe that once freedom is introduced into a "market place" it will become harder to suppress until eventually it becomes the dominant licencing strategy. This is evident in the fact that a company like Novell not only bought a free software company (SuSE), but bought into the free software philosophy -- well partly anyway. So while proprietary software may not entirely die out (more's the pity) I feel (and hope) it will become the de-facto NON-standard way of licencing software.
"Mixed source" is a bad name for this -- er -- mix though. The source or openness of it is largely irrelevant if you ask me. When you mix free and proprietary systems in one application stack -- like it or not -- the entire stack has a proprietary effect. Obviously the degree of that proprietary effect will depend on how vital the proprietary software is to the stack. Use a free software database back-end with a proprietary front-end and your stack is largely subject to the whim of front-end's vendor.
The best of one world, the worst of the other
What particularly bugged me was a comment about where the split in this twin-licenced software stack would come. I quote:
"A mixed source approach enables customers to keep costs low with open source software while also minimising threats, protecting key corporate data, reducing network administration costs and complying with regulations with the help of steadfast proprietary solutions."
If you'll pardon the pun, that implies that open source/free software has one value -- cost. It also implies that issues like security, networking and regulatory compliance are only really met by proprietary software. Both of these implications are wrong, plain wrong. The (in)security of proprietary products is dependant upon secrets kept not by you but by your supplier. If you "protect" your corporate data with proprietary systems (and by implication proprietary protocols) your data belongs to your supplier, not you. By contrast if you use free software in your security, network administration and data protection you are as (if not more) secure as proprietary offerings but you are not reliant upon your supplier's ability to keep their product secure. He goes on...
"when adding additional security functionality to their open systems, many customers are actually reverting to a mixed Linux/proprietary solution."
This is the problem with the word "open": it mean openness and open windows
Again the implication here is that "open" means less secure. See this is the problem with the duality of the word "open": it can mean openness (in terms of sharing) and open windows (in terms of unwanted access).
Square plugs in round gaps
Elsewhere Mr Harris speaks about addressing the "gaps in the capabilities of open source" by further open source development or proprietary solutions. Yet again the message is that FOSS has gaps which can only really be plugged by proprietary software. Yes, he does mention further FOSS development, but the thrust of the piece is essentially that free software can't cut it and requires bailing out by proprietary systems.
What good does it do you to free your legs from the shackles of proprietary software only to voluntary tie one hand behind your back with a proprietary plug?
It's true that free software probably can't cut it in every fields (yet) but you know what? Neither can proprietary software; implying that an average business could not equip itself entirely with free software is misleading. The solution to any gaps in the free software stack is not to develop proprietary plugs. If the base software is free and the customer is enjoying the benefits of that, then why should they then rely upon a closed piece of glue? Would that plug grow with the main software? What if the base software went in a direction which was counter to the proprietary vendors aims? If the customer is going to be spending money on these plugs would they not be wiser to spend it getting free plugs, created so the whole community benefits. Perhaps they could jointly fund develop with other customers, making the whole thing more cost-effective for all. Honestly, what advantage is there is having a small piece of glue technology created just for you when the underlying system is free? What good does it do you to free your legs from the shackles of proprietary software only to voluntary tie one hand behind your back with a proprietary plug?
I'm speak from experience here. When we wanted some custom modules added on top of our free software CMS (ExponentCMS) I deliberately had the code written under a free licence by my third-party developers. We've not yet deployed the new features; however, once we're sure they're good to go we'll release the modules to the ExponentCMS community. Had we got it done it in a proprietary licence, the modules would have remained static -- we probably won't have the resources to fund future development other than in-house stuff. By freeing them up they can be further developed, learned from and built upon in a way that proprietary modules could not.
Not so hidden agendas
I should acknowledge that the real and, given the position Mr Harris holds, somewhat understandable goal of the piece seemed to be promoting the fact that if this "mixed source" world grows then end-users will "need support from vendors and service providers who understand how to connected(sic) open source and proprietary technologies". Hmm I can't think who he might have in mind there, can you?
The closing argument of the piece is:
"Vendors who are well-connected with the open source community yet also able to provide and support proprietary solutions are the ones who are most likely to prevail."
Time will tell if that happens but I very much doubt it will, especially if those vendors promote the idea that you can't have the former without the latter.
online version of the column
The piece above seems to be the one you read on "Linux User & Developer" but the author is Rheinhardt Esau, not Steve Harris...
it is very similar
Certainly it is very similar, my cursory reading through both shoped up only a couple of words that were different. The article I refer to is definitely "written by" Steve Harris and was in the latest issues of Linux User & Developer which dropped on my mat about a week ago. That means it would have been submitted some months ago to LUD.
It doesn't really matter though. The pieces are almost identical and it looks like this is either a company line for Novell - which makes sense - or one of these two "authors" has been a little bit lazy.
thanks for finding it though.
One important exception (and not available)
Until they make an open source printer I think proprietary drivers will be needed. Oops! They don't make drivers for Linux, since you want to do it yourself when it comes to drivers. And since you want to do it yourself, they let (or should I say make) your do their work for them. Unfortunately, since I'm not about to spend my money on a more compatible printer, nor will I waste time playing around with barely working foss drivers, my Edubuntu is just is just a toy, not a viable option.
not true
Who is the "they" you refer to? And what do you mean by "open source printer"? Do you mean open hardware or just the drivers? I for one would welcome open hardware specs in a printer but I'm not holding my breath for it. However don't make the mistake of thinking that closed hardware requires closed drivers.
Free drivers are available and work well for a large number of printers. There are printer manufacturers who develop open source drivers. HP's hardware is by no means "open" yet their drivers are. The fact that high quality free software printer drivers exist for so many printers (see openprinting.org) undoes your argument that proprietary hardware requires proprietary drivers. I've personally used printers -- from inkjet to colour lasers -- from HP, Canon, Epson and Kyocera with free drivers and they worked beautifully, first time.
On a side note: I don't buy this argument that we should not have to choose our printer based on our choice of OS. If that were the case then printers would not come with Windows and Mac stickers on them. Yes, there should be better support out of the box and yes, I'd like to see "Works with Linux" on the box as well but right now I'd say printers enjoy one of the stronger levels of peripheral support within GNU/Linux (and by nature other free OS).
LU & D is not very reliable these days
As far as I can tell, LinuxUser & Developer is pretty much nothing but "corporate mouthpiece" articles nowadays.
That's probably because they have exhausted the supply of good writers who are gullible enough to be taken in by their fraudulent business practices.
LU&D has been staying afloat for years by exploiting a loophole in British bankruptcy law which allows them to back out of practically all of their obligations to pay writers and editors, while continuing to operate. The managing editor is meanwhile making a tidy profit off of this arrangement, despite her history of purposely driving companies into the ground.
The trick essentially is that "LinuxUser & Developer" itself is just a licensed trade name -- the licensor is always kept intact, while the official business entity has some nondescript name. That entity is driven bankrupt, avoiding all responsibilities to suppliers and employees, but the trade name, the advertisers, the managing editor, and all of the goodwill and income goes with the name.
Then, after the bankruptcy, they just pick up again, form a new shill company, and keep doing business -- with a new staff of gullible employees and free-lancers ready to be duped and fleeced.
This has gone through at least three cycles, according to my sources -- apparently right from the magazine's inception.
And yes, I know this, because I was among the duped myself. I lost something like four months full-time labor, accounting for approximately half of my expected annual income in 2005. Some others were hit harder than I was.
One would expect this sort of behavior to be criminal, as it is so blatantly unethical.
However, it's apparently not strictly illegal under British law, so they get away with it. This does not give me a very good impression of the British justice system, I can tell you!
In any case, though, the suppliers are apparently getting wise to the situation, which accounts for the reliance on freely-provided corporate shilling as a substitute for content. As a result, you aren't going to find many balanced articles in LU&D these days.
It's a very sad story, and an appalling example of exploitation.
Whilst that may be true
Whilst that may be true, the fact that this appeared in LU & D was not a concern for me. My concern was simply adjusting the balance somewhat -- or at least putting another view up against it.
My personal view is that the reliability of any article is down to the author and not the publication it appears in. True if I have not encountered the author then my experience of the publication will count for something. In the case of LU & D that dwindled some time back -- mostly through boredom. In this case I just wanted to address this fallacy that "mixed" licencing is the future.

I am so excited about this giveaway. I recently got one of these new towels and i am in love. Let me first start by saying is they are softer then any towel i own, so yes Rozie has the nicest towel in the house,lol.
The are made from 100% bamboo which is 3-4 times more absorbent than cotton, and it is naturally antibacterial so no yucky towel smell in between washes.Then to top it off it is embroidered with a cute immage and the saying "Clean for Shabbos."
