Lockport-based Bollinger Shipyards Inc. announced its Bollinger Fourchon facility has gone 12 years without a lost-time accident.
"Our Fourchon personnel have withstood the test of time, as our shipyard in Port Fourchon has grown over the past 12 years. With the sustained effort of our employees, Bollinger continues to be one of the safest shipyards in America," said Ben Bordelon, Bollinger Shipyards executive vice president.

- For broken ag wheels- Used to reinforce wheels before a problem happens
How many ag wheels with oblong bolt holes or cracked center discs have you thrown away? For hard-to-find wheels or more expensive wheels, our reinforcing rings make a lot of sense. Fits standard 9-hole ag bolt patterns. Here's how they work: Tapers are already drilled for lug nuts. To use, dismount tire from wheel, straighten out old broken center, put broken wheels on hub, put ring on and tighten down, check to see if wheel runs true, then tack-weld the reinforcing ring to the wheel. Reinforcing ring details: 9 x 9-1/2" bolt pattern, 7-3/4" center hole; 5/16" thick. NOTE: For low-speed agricultural use only.

ALBION - The Albion Public Safety chief and another officer entered a burning building Saturday, not knowing whether a man reported to have a gun was still inside. It turns out no one was inside the burning house on Burr Oak Drive, and the two law enforcement officers got out of the house before getting hurt.
Albion police were called to the home at 9:45PM Saturday on a report of a domestic disturbance and a subject with a gun. When officers arrived they saw smoke coming from the home. The two Albion public safety officers donned bullet proof vests and entered the burning building, looking for anyone inside, while deputies kept watch outside. The officers were unable to locate anyone in the home. They left, and firefighters were eventually able to bring the blaze under control.
As the investigation was going on, dispatch advised there was a report of a suspicious person at a nearby gas station. A Calhoun County deputy went to investigate and located the suspect. Daniel Grace, 35, a resident of the house. Investigators determined that the house had purposely been set on fire in at least two locations. Grace was arrested and is charged with arson. Public Safety Chief Scott Kipp says that Grace was extremely intoxicated, but he did not have a gun, and that his wife had actually taken a shotgun from him, and left the home.

Dreaming of the most romantic city in the world? Traveling to Paris may be out of the budget, but you can certainly bring the City of Lights to you with a Paris-themed party. Save some money and take in all the sites that make this such a romantic destination. You don't need a long flight to admire the Eiffel Tower or Arc De Triomphe. Paris backgrounds will bring this beautiful city right to your doorstep and make your party guests feel like they've arrived in France – if only for a night.
Say Oui, oui to a night of sophisticated celebration. A Paris-themed party should have an elegant, sophisticated feel that transports guests to the much-adored French city. From the décor to the food, take a cue from the Parisians and keep it simple and romantic. As guests nosh on pastries and fondue, Parisian decorations will help set the atmosphere. Find arches, columns and lampposts to recreate the city streets. Maybe you'll create a little déjà vu among guests who have visited the city. If you can't make it to France, a Paris themed party outfitted by Shindigz is the next best thing.

This was an average Suzy to open up with as they get settled in to a new venue. Foam starts off fast but eventually smoothes out and gets very dynamic. Sparkle was good and Possum was rocking. I always love a Forbin's with great story, as usual. Mockingbird was a little weak at times. Chalk Dust rocked, Guelah was good, and then Caravan was kind of a surprise to hear again. Don't know what prompted that? Cavern was a little fast and loose to close up a pretty average set.
Trey gets on the acoustic for a good My Friend with a nice creepy ending. Rift's timing is still a little loose, but better. Sloth had some off spots. Pen was pretty solid and then FEFY seemed rusty. Then the Balls come out... Mike's was ok; nothing too great and the jam seemed really disjointed. Hydro was ok, just a few off spots. Weekapaug had a great jam. That was the highlight of the set. HYHU brings Fish out for a nice, funny Brain. Coil seemed rushed and Mike was weak in spots, but there was a great salsa style ending and of course Page brings it, until the recording was rudely cut! Sacrilege! Anyway, not a bad second set.
Mini bust-out with Page ripping into Bold as Love for a great encore. Then everyone gets shushed for an Adeline.
Just average to my ears tonight, Mike was weak and there were rusty parts here and there. Not to say that there aren't some good songs in there. I'm going with three stars to bring the average down a little.

Vida Loafman Driscoll, beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt and friend died in Viroqua, Wisconsin on Saturday, June 22, 2013. She was 98 years old and remained active, independent and alert up until the last few days of her life. Born on January 20, 1915 to Martin and Elfrieda Freeman Loafman at Reading, near Worthington, Nobles County, she was the third of four siblings: Milo, Cleo and younger brother Russell. The family lived for a time in Wheatland, North Dakota before moving to Sheldon, Iowa where "Vi" graduated high school in 1932, and soon after worked for the Northwestern Bell Telephone Company as a "number please" operator, when one, two and three digit phone numbers connected people and informed of emergency situations. Vi, herself, proved a crucial lifeline for several callers in dire emergency situations.
In 1939, Vi married her high school sweetheart Paul H. Driscoll. He was a beloved and respected high school coach and teacher in Iowa, South Dakota and Minnesota, and was later Mayor of Clarkfield. They shared 61 years of happy life together until Paul passed away in Viroqua in 2001. Together they raised three sons; Robert (Bob) Russell, Charles (Chuck) Loyd and John Paul. Also included in Vi and Paul's immediate family is niece Gladys Noack Duckson.
Vi was a loving wife, caring mother, glittering friend, intrepid entrepreneur, consummate political activist and ardent football fan. She owned and operated dry cleaning establishments in Marshall and Clarkfield, ran the popular Vi's Café in Clarkfield, and founded Vi's Uniform Shop in Brainerd, With her usual high energy and abundant good cheer, she redefined the uniform business with fashion merchandising, store decor and high level customer service. She set new industry standards and was recognized as a trendsetter by uniform manufacturers throughout the country.
As Chair of the Clarkfield Housing Authority, Vi successfully fought to obtain the necessary funding and city and federal support that resulted in the construction of Valhalla, a Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) apartment complex, which provided homes for low income seniors, and was dedicated September 19, 1971. Vice President Walter Mondale, spoke of Vi as "a futuristic thinker and one of the early activists to recognize the need for low cost housing for the elderly in the rural areas of America."
Vi was an avid fan of high school and professional sports. She thoroughly understood the game of football and was a long time Minnesota Vikings fan, and in recent years, after moving to Wisconsin, was also a devoted Green Bay Packers supporter. Vi organized "Packer Parties" among the residents of Park View Plaza and wore her favorite sequined Packers jersey every Saturday during the football season. She founded a Walking Club for exercise and conviviality at Park View, where she lived for the last 12 years. The club measured the length of the building's hallways and calculated walking distances to neighboring towns and beyond. Keeping track of steps and distance, Vi compiled enough steps to have "walked" to and from Minneapolis. Three days before her passing she tallied a mile of pedaling on a stationary bike.
Page 2 of 2 - Vi's earliest memory was of the Armistice Celebration marking the end of World War I. As an adult, she wrote to presidents, senators and representatives and supported military troops with care packages of baked and useful goods and letters of encouragement from World War II to Afghanistan. She maintained a lively and abiding interest in current events, enjoyed telling stories and commenting on politics, and making and cherishing friendships wherever she lived. She was a Past Matron of Eastern Star, of which she was a member for over fifty years, and she mischievously enjoyed being a long time member of the Ancient and Honorable Order of Turtles.
Vi is survived by and will be deeply missed by her three sons and daughters-in-law: Bob, of Granite Falls; Chuck and Jean of Viroqua, Wisconsin; John and Marylyn of New York City; and Gladys and Bob Duckson of Burnsville. Vi also leaves grandchildren: Daniel and Cindy of Los Angeles, Amy of Viroqua, Emily of New York City and Gillian of Austin, Texas; as well as great grandchildren Emilia, Isabel, Adeline, William and Owen Driscoll. Also surviving are nieces Mary Olive (Gary) Japenga of Sanborn, Iowa; Donna Plato of San Francisco; Mary Ann Driscoll of Corning, California; and nephews Chris Loafman of Cupertino, California; Steve Driscoll of Seattle, Washing-ton; and Tom Driscoll of San Francisco. Services will be announced at the convenience of the family.

The Vosseteig-Larson Funeral Home of Viroqua is serving the family.

Scott Thompson was one of Silicon Valley's luminaries -- the highly regarded president of PayPal who ascended to the top spot at Yahoo (YHOO) earlier this year before it all came crashing down. A computer science degree on his resume turned out to be nonexistent, and Thompson was shown the door after only four months.
But Thompson didn't just take his $7 million in walking-away money and retire; he's now running a tiny startup called ShopRunner, and spends his time schlepping around the country lobbying online retailers to sign up for his Amazon-like shipping services.
In his first interview with this newspaper since being booted from Yahoo, Thompson said he's not trying to prove anything -- he's just "fascinated" by the challenge of whether he can grow a 60-person company into something big.
Two-year-old ShopRunner offers what Thompson called "Amazon Prime for everybody else." Users, who pay a $79 yearly membership fee, get perks like two-click shopping and free two-day delivery from dozens of online retailers, ranging from Toys R Us and Anne Klein to smaller merchants.
Thompson was well acquainted with ShopRunner before signing on: PayPal's parent, eBay (EBAY), owns a portion of the company after spinning it out from another e-commerce outfit the auction giant acquired in early 2011. An eBay executive sits on ShopRunner's board, although Thompson says his job doesn't necessitate close contact with his former employer.
Still, he said, "It's safe to say that I've known the companies and the individuals involved for a long time. The concept that became ShopRunner I saw early on, three-plus years ago." The startup is headquartered in Conshohocken, Pa., but a quarter of its employees -- including Thompson -- are based in San Mateo.
ShopRunner's founder told BusinessInsider in July that he'd tried to recruit Thompson when the latter was still running PayPal. After Thompson's stunning departure from Yahoo, the company tried again.
"They were at the point where they had some interesting traction and momentum," said Thompson. "They felt the right person could really turn this into a big business."
During Thompson's three years running PayPal, revenues more than doubled, surpassing $4 billion. That significantly fueled parent eBay's bottom line, and the day Thompson decamped for Yahoo, eBay's stock dipped nearly 4 percent.
"His set of experiences is second to none," said Eric Remer, CEO of a Denver startup called PaySimple that named Thompson to its board last month. "The opportunity to bring on a talent like Scott is an absolute no-brainer."
Thompson said PaySimple, which lets small businesses accept credit card, online and mobile payments and manage invoices and recurring payments electronically, is "trying to solve similar problems as PayPal, but they come at it differently. I know reasonably well how you can be helpful to small merchants that sell online."
Remer acknowledged having to weigh the Yahoo controversy as he considered adding Thompson to the board. "I talked to other people who know Scott really well," he said. "People who've worked with him and invested in him would do it again, without hesitation."
Thompson wouldn't discuss Yahoo, with which he signed a non-disparagement clause (and which paid him no severance, though he did receive compensation for unvested stock he left behind at eBay.) But in July, he told Bloomberg BusinessWeek that he's still "rooting" for Yahoo, and he praised the choice of former Google (GOOG) executive Marissa Mayer to succeed him.
Asked why he jumped back into the startup grind just two months after being forced from his last job, Thompson quipped that his wife asks the same question.
Martin Pyykkonen, an analyst with Wedge Partners who covers Yahoo, called Thompson "a very strong operational guy," though he also questioned whether Thompson's abilities as a visionary would have been sufficient to help the Internet pioneer discover new revenue streams. Now, in the resume scandal's wake, Pyykkonen said Thompson will have to rehabilitate his image before hoping to again take the reins of a large company.
"You have to kind of re-earn your stripes and your credibility and do something meaningful," Pyykkonen said. "If he can pull it off with a small company, maybe that leads to the next tier up."
But, Thompson said, "The only person I really need to prove anything to is myself. The jury's still out, but I'm having a great time."

SANTA CLARA — As the 49ers convened Wednesday for training camp, one of their defensive leaders has made sure to help quell a possible distraction, that involving Ahmad Brooks' alleged attack last month of teammate Lamar Divens.
"He's tremendously sorry for what he did," Donte Whitner said of Brooks. "Anybody would be embarrassed. He's just going to have to move on and make the right choices from this point on. He'll be OK."
Santa Clara County prosecutors recently opted not to press charges against Brooks for a June 8 incident, when Brooks allegedly hit Divens repeatedly in the face with a beer bottle upon returning to Brooks' home after drinking in local nightclubs.
Coach Jim Harbaugh and general manager Trent Baalke have declined to state whether Brooks is facing any team-issued discipline in the way of a suspension or fine.
"The bad choice he made outside of here, he's going to have to pay for that, and we don't know what it's going to be yet," Whitner said
"We're a good football team. A lot of eyes are on us now, even more than last year or the year before," Whitner added. "You have to make good decisions, hang out with the right people. He's going to do that from here on out."
Brooks was not made available for comment.

—San Francisco Chronicle
"Pirates Latitudes has the loot: Gore, sex, action….A lusty, rollicking 17th century adventure."
—USA Today
"Riveting….Great entertainment….The pages and minutes fly by."
—Cleveland Plain Dealer
#1 New York Times bestselling author, the incomparable Michael Crichton ("One of the great storytellers of our age" —Newsday) takes to the high Caribbean seas for an irresistible adventure of swashbuckling pirates, lost treasure, sword fights, duplicity, and hair-breadth escapes in the New World.
"A lusty, rollicking seventeenth-century adventure. . . .History as entertainment."—USA Today
The Caribbean, 1665. A remote colony of the English Crown, the island of Jamaica holds out against the vast supremacy of the Spanish empire. Port Royal, its capital, is a cutthroat town of taverns, grog shops, and bawdy houses. In this steamy climate there's a living to be made, a living that can end swiftly by disease—or by dagger. For Captain Charles Hunter, gold in Spanish hands is gold for the taking, and the law of the land rests with those ruthless enough to make it.
Pirate Latitudes is Michael Crichton at his best: a rollicking adventure tale pulsing with relentless action, crackling atmosphere, and heart-pounding suspense.
"Crichton's great talent was writing books that were virtually impossible to put down. . . . Pirate Latitudes is no exception."—Entertainment Weekly

MANY SEE PLOT TO ROB MORE TRIBAL WATER Dixon: What many see as a sinister CIA type intrigue to rob the remainder of the tribe's Mission Mountain water has been unfolding since early last fall. The drama,which appears to be aimed at siphoning the remaiag 60,000 acre feet of Mission water into non-Indian use, involves high ranking area BIA officials, Flathead Irrigation Project (FIP) management and irrigation districts, and a former government chief engineer who is working here as a consultant. Although it all started in October when it became known that FIP was studying the feasibility of expanding the storage capacity of the project, the alleged plot climaxed in Dec- ember when area engineers requested a look at a highly secret study on tribal water rights. Dave Walker, the Chief Engineer for the Billings area of the Bureau, asked the tribe for permission to examine the extremely sensative Clyde, Criddle and Woodard study of Water Rights on the Flathead Reservation. The study, which was contracted and paid for by the tribe, has been carefully guarded since it was completed in 1973. The $50-to-$80,000 analysis is said to contain valuable and unique information on the validity of claims to reservation waters.

IGNATIUS HEARING RESULTS: MEMO NIXES INDIAN WATER KEEP POWER LINES OFF RIGHTS THE RESERVATION Billings: A Department of Interior memorandum disclosing a plan to de-emphasize Indian water priorities was revealed during a meeting of the Native American Great Plains Resources Federation here last month. Flathead Reservation delegate Bill Morigeau, Poison, said the memo from a Department undersecretary would place Indian water needs in the Missouri River basin below five non-Indian uses. Morigeau said the non-Indian projected water use priorities were: private and state irrigation...Bureau of Reclamation units...other uses...coal cover-sion on non-Indian land...and main stream water quality control maintenance. The memo was from undersecretary Lyons to the bureau's of Indian Affairs and Reclamation. Both bureaus are under the Department of the Inter-MEMO (Cont. on page 11) St. Ignatius: Tribal Councilman Joe McDonald, Ronan, angerly lashed out at a corps of Montana Power employes who followed a circuit of public hearings on the proposed Colstrip generators and power lines to St.Ignatius, Jan. 3.

This is our area and it is us (local residents) that are going to have to live with these transmission lines and all that they bring with them. And, I, for one, don't see why we should have to live with them just because people on the west coast want more electricity and Montana Power wants more profits", he said. Most of the local people at the meeting agreed with McDonald. A stand up poll of persons opposed to the lines brought 47 of the 50 to 55 western Montanan's at the meeting to their feet. McDonald, who is principal of the Ronan High School, added that the giant electrical utility was asking the people of Montana to make "enormous sacrifices" in the things they love best for the sake of the "almighty dollar". He noted that if people want to see what living in a power-concentrated area is like, they should go down to the Four Corners area in northwestern New Mexico. "There they have already sacrificed a beautiful, productive area for west coast power."

Up on a hilltop in the Gràcia district of Barcelona, Spain sits Park Güell, an architectural garden complex built in the early 1900's that was originally designed for residential housing. With a lack of success, only two houses were built – one of which ended up being occupied by the artist himself, Antoni Gaudí.The park has since been transformed into a historical monument that peaks interest to tourists and locals alike. The main attraction is the terrace with tours of the garden and artist's home available to the public. Its original artwork directly reflects Gaudí's distinct style where walls are covered with unique designs created from ceramics and stained glass, and architecture includes exceptional sculptures, archways, and wrought ironwork.
Though some are captivated by the neo-Gothic influenced art, we love Park Güell because – let's face it – it looks like a real gingerbread house! The candy fortress is brought to life with its bright colors and full-sized mosaics. The gleam of the three-dimensional rooftops reflects that of a true candy castle. It is a masterpiece that has (literally) stood the test of time representing the century's history of nature, religion, and rich European culture.
As the season of sweets is right under our noses, there's no better time to appreciate nostalgic art like Gaudí's. While we make our gingerbread houses out of miniature milk cartons and colorful Christmas candies, we'll be envisioning how enchanted this house truly is…twinkle and all.

BERKELEY -- Cal quarterback Zach Maynard, who injured his left knee in the loss to Washington, was on crutches Sunday but did not suffer ligament damage, coach Jeff Tedford said.
Tedford said an MRI was negative and Maynard's status for Saturday's game against No. 2 Oregon is day to day. "It's an old-fashioned knee sprain," Tedford said.
Meanwhile, Tedford said he has had no recent conversations with Cal athletic director Sandy Barbour on his job status.
"Not at all. I guess there's written enough in the blogs and the papers and everybody keeping track enough of that outside, but we haven't (talked)," said Tedford, whose team is 3-7 and has lost three in a row.
Asked if he expects to have that discussion before the season ends on Nov. 17, Tedford said, "I wouldn't expect that. I would expect after the season we'll probably talk about everything."
Tedford said Maynard was better Sunday than he was the day before, and he's encouraged that there was no ligament damage. "But there's obviously something there," he said. "It's how he responds to treatment."
If Maynard cannot play, junior Allen Bridgford would start against the unbeaten Ducks.
Cal's starter the past two seasons, Maynard was injured with 4:01 left in the fourth quarter of Friday night's 21-13 loss. He was taken down by Washington's Danny Shelton with what Tedford called "a gator tackle."
"It was unfortunate, but it wasn't dirty," he said.
Tedford described the tackling technique as grabbing a leg and rolling to take down the ball carrier. Maynard's right leg was planted at the time, so the maneuver caused his left leg to torque.
Tedford said he expects defensive ends Kendrick Payne (broken finger) and Aaron Tipoti (knee) both to play against Oregon. Linebackers Jalen Jefferson and J.P. Hurrell and cornerback Marc Anthony, all sidelined Friday by concussions, will be evaluated through the week.
Among offensive starters, tackle Matt Summers-Gavin (knee) is questionable, freshman wide receiver Bryce Treggs (ankle) likely will be ready to play.

Hendersonville's Main Street falls short in online contest
Published: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 2:46 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 2:46 p.m.
RALEIGH - Union Street in downtown Concord has been named the People's Choice for "Great Main Street," and Clayton's Riverwood neighborhood has earned bragging rights as the People's Choice for "Great Neighborhood for Kids."
The awards are part of the second "Great Places in North Carolina" initiative sponsored by the North Carolina Chapter of the American Planning Association to celebrate great communities throughout the state.
Hendersonville's Main Street had been named as a finalist for the "People's Choice" award in the "Great Main Streets" category.
More than 2,000 votes were cast by North Carolinians during the online voting contest.
An expert panel selected five other North Carolina main streets, from the mountains to the coast, for recognition. From dozens of nominations submitted, the panel named Fayetteville's Hay Street, Raleigh's Fayetteville Street, Davidson's Main Street and Blowing Rock's Main Street as "Great Main Streets," and Elkin's Main Street as a "Great Place in the Making."
"All of these 'Great Main Streets' are vibrant town centers that help build community," said Ben Hitchings, president of APA-NC. "Through this program, we celebrate some of the great places in our state and the local partnerships that have made these streets a focal point for community life."
"As planners, we know the importance of public-private partnerships in ensuring great communities," said Emily Beddingfield, co-chair of the initiative. "We want to recognize the great places in our beautiful state and the teams of people who worked together to create places that people love and cherish."
A ceremony will be held in each community this spring to recognize local planning efforts. All of the communities will be featured on www.greatplacesnc.org.

Grant Abstract
Grant Number:
PI Name: GERWICK, WILLIAM H.
Project Title: Bioassay and Ecology Directed Drug Discovery in Panama
Abstract: DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a renewal application to continue our ICBG efforts in Panama which combine the goals of drug discovery from natural sources with host country infrastructure development, training, economic growth, biodiversity inventories, and conservation. The past 4.5 years have been highly productive in all of these areas, with the majority of effort occurring in the host country and at host country institutions. Panama possesses an extraordinary biodiversity of plants and algae owing to its unique juxtaposition between North and South America and between the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. As such, Panama is a "biodiversity hotspot" as well as a biological corridor between these major geographical features, thus providing unique opportunities for high impact regional and international conservation strategies. We have assembled a remarkable team from Panamanian and US academic institutions as well as leaders in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. We propose a team effort to explore the natural products of diverse terrestrial plants, marine algae and cyanobacteria for compounds active to several tropical diseases, (leishmaniasis, Chagas' disease, and malaria) cancer (cell- and mechanism-based) and agricultural pests. Our ecological approach to selecting plants for collection, as well as a processing strategy, which preserves biologically active materials, yields a higher rate of active extracts than otherwise expected. Our conservation efforts involve leading institutions such as the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Conservation International, and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Our program has very positive interactions with, and support from, host country institutions, and through our outreach efforts we continue to improve the perceived value of biodiversity by Panamanians. The two collaborating companies (Novartis and Dow AgroSciences), one focused on pharmaceuticals and the other on agrochemicals, provide additional biotesting, financial and training resources, as well as a mechanism for the development of promising materials. All collection and bioassay information is maintained on a web database, and this insures excellent access by all team members as well as host country and US government partners. A well-developed set of legal documents assures a highly beneficial plan for intellectual property and benefit sharing with Panama.

The perfect weather scenario for frogs based upon my observations: No rain for two to three days. Then, moderate to heavy rain that day, clear weather for a couple hours as the sun sets, and no rain to light drizzle at night. I often look at the leaves to tell me how many frogs will be out- do the leaves look dry and dusty or dewy and glistening? If it's the latter, you have a pretty good chance of spotting a frog- or dozens of frogs- that night.
If the rain is too heavy at night, there will be few frogs visible. The males come down closer to the ground at night and call to females to reproduce- what's the point in calling for a mate if they can't hear you through the rain? This also helps researchers- you can identify frogs and their activity based upon the amount of calling.

Also, many species of frogs are in decline due the chytrid fungus. Thus, the sad reality is that the frog extinction rate is much higher than many other animals, so you may not have long to photograph some of the more unique or rare species. Tambopata has been tested recently and no chytrid fungus was detected, so you'll be sure to encounter some spectacular hopping frogs during your visit.
That being said, it is starting to rain here, so let's hope for another night of frog weather. Happy frogging!

Sandvox is exactly what I needed. I came from an IWeb background and was extremely worried on hearing that IWeb was going to be discontinued. But Sandvox came to the rescue! Amazingly, each upgrade gives me something new I can use immediately. I'm determined to keep 100% control of my sites and Sandvox is allowing me to do this.
Working with Sandvox went very smoothly and quickly, absolutely perfect. I have my site ready now, I ran a demo version for some time, and your crew really helped me out well when I had questions or done something stupid;-).
What made me decide to buy Sandvox is that I expect Apple to discontinue iWeb in the near future and the way Sandvox works. It's ever so easy to build a good looking site with Sandvox, just like iWeb that I was used to, for the last 4 years. How I knew about Sandvox was through the Apple forum, iWeb thread. I also downloaded a demo version of another company, but I didn't like it as much as Sandvox. I feel at home with Sandvox, just like I did iWeb.
Thank you all your help, you have a great team ! And thank you for Sandvox.
Sandvox gives superb results and is so simple to use. What more could you want?
I used Sandvox to code my site at Watching Europa and couldn't be happier. I've coded sites by hand before, and also made a couple off Wordpress and I found Sandvox to be the fastest and most convenient system I've found to date. Plus, now that I have the site up, I can go in and tinker to my heart's content. Great stuff, highly recommend. Oh, also, great support!
Sandvox gets the job done easily and with simplicity. And you can get somebody to help when/if problems set in - the few times I've had problems, Karelia has always answered my emails in a day. I have a couple of sites to maintain in my spare time, and I've found that since I switched to Sandvox, the maintenance is no longer the chore it used to be. I think even the real experts would benefit by using Sandvox on all but the really complex sites
This is the software I settled on after coding sites manually for years and using iWeb. This for me was a perfect balance and most importantly supported nesting (collections) of pages as well as Google integration.
I've found Sandvox to be simple but not simplistic. It gives the average user the tools they need to get their content out while gaining confidence in Sandvox's capabilities. Under the intuitive interface and logical workflow, lie sufficient power and complexity to tackle most sites dreamed up by Joe Public. Sandvox gets you going without a steep learning curve or technical obstacles. I'm very happy and productive with Sandvox Pro.
I bought SandVox about five weeks ago. I was amazed at how easy SandVox was to use, once I got into it. I was even more amazed at how easy SandVox makes editing, adding to, and improving my web site. Most of all I was impressed with the wide variety of templates that SandVox offers. I chose Smooth Dark for a photography showcase website and the final effect is very nice, the photos just pop out on the screen. SandVox is well worth the price. Of course this program is not for those who develop web sites for a living. It is, however, an excellent program for the rest of us.
SandVox is what iWeb should have been and is an awesome tool to set up websites for novices and prosumers. I've used it to maintain my teaching site from the first release version of SV. The app has improved with every release, and makes great looking sites. Although RW has more functionality, you need to buy plugins to get that - which add up in cost.
I've found SV to be more than robust for my needs - give it a try.
I love Sandvox. I use it for all but one of my websites, I get great looking results that do exactly what I need the sites to do with the least amount of time and trouble. I've tried the rest, Sandvox is the best.

I'm working toward running a 13.1 in May. I'm building mileage slowly and understand that it's important to have rest days for muscle repair. I'm rather new at running (never run this distance before) and I'm wondering...
What do you do on "rest" days? Do you completely take the day off - no work out at all? Do you bike? Do elliptical? Weights? If weights, do you stay away from legs? I don't have the option of swimming.
My personal goals are: 1) general long-term health, 2) weight loss (also eathing carefully), and 3) finishing the half-marathon going as slowly as I need.
Any tips would be welcome.
~ Madra
My general schedule is broken down into lifting and runnign days. My rynning days vay between 3-4 and my liftiing 4-5. They kind of all depend on my schedule, weather, soreness, etc. But my usual week has 4 days of lifting and 3 days of running. If I feel I need a "day off" I usually only run 2 miler, enought ot say I did something but not enough activity to hinder me.
**Knocks on wood** I've never had an injury that has made me stop either running or lifting. I am in very good tune with my body and what I should (or should not) be doing. I do occassionly take a day off involoving NO structed physical activity. Usually these are the day after a big race because I push myself harder at race time than I do on my own. I know this won't work for everyone, but it works for me.
When I was training for my first half-marathon (exactly 1 year ago today!) I focused on my endurance and simply just getting my milage up. My training week usually saw 2 short runs (2-5 miles) and one long endurance run (6-11). Once every 3-4 weeks that long run day was used to as a new distance day. For example, 8 miles in August, 9 miles in September, 10 Miles in October (notice the trend ) It just happened the race feel in January.
Best advice I can offer you is to tune into you body and listen to what its telling you. I hope this or something this was helpful!

Upcoming Races
I rest. Usually I don't do any planned exercise, but if my everyday life calls for me to be out and about, I get out and about: a bike ride with the kids, a walk around town, whatever. Rest does not equal couch potato.
If you need to get weight lifting in, that would work, but I'd avoid the legs, especially the day after the long run.
I find active recovery is best, easy bike ride/yard work/weights/swimming. The active recovery helps remove the lactic acid and speeds recovery. A all out rest day some times is good!
Hi Madra,
Hopefully, you have some other races prior to the half and it would be a good idea to get in some 10k events, for example. I have lighter days, but really no periods without some sort of activity. I lift weights and do floor exercises for strength training, along with cycling, walking, hiking and so on. I try to avoid a day of doing nothing because it seems that the influence is mostly negative and counter-productive to future goals. I know that rest periods are recommended by the experts, but my viewpoint is that there is a greater recovery time from "resting" than staying in some sort of motion on a daily basis.
Best wishes on your half...focus on the 7 and 11 for your LR schedule and you will be fine.
I rest on rest days. No weights. No running. No biking. Walking to work, or to a store on a rest day is not exercise per se.
If you don't rest, you don't fully recover. I'm so drained after weightlifting or my long run, it's difficult to do much of anything well the next day.
If I want to build and see improvement on my next run, I make sure I am rested. I have at least one rest day per week. Mostly it's two days every 8 days or so.
If you don't rest, you can overtrain, and set yourself up for injury. Then you are forced to rest for many days.
Rather than work out every day, I change things around. Run-weights-rest. Repeat. Other weeks I'll run three or four days in a row, rest then lift, rest, then run, bike, lift.
If I've done my training properly (lifting and long run), I need to rest the next day, not because I want to, but because I don't really have a choice.
Rest days also make me want to get out and train the next day even more, because I'm not dog tired. I have much more energy.
I'll do squats and other movements for the legs. I like to do rowing exercises for my back and a limited amount of upper body maintenance-- benchpressing, bicep curls. I also will do more abdominal exercises, for 15 minutes, with a weight ball, lower, upper, and sides, but I do abs on running days also, but I'll spend more time on them on rest days. I don't do any endurance cross training involving the lower legs (no swimming or bike riding.)
I think a moderate leg regiment with weights is beneficial to someone training for a half. I'll do it on rest days. Lots of squats. I plan my schedule so the day after a rest is easy running.
My rest days are just that, resting. I usually walk my dog on those days, but I don't consider that a work out.
I've found that rest days are just as important as the other days because my muscles and legs have time to recover and rebuild the damage of previous workout sessions.
"The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep."

Complete rest (as in doing nothing that raises a sweat) seems to be counter-productive for me. Gardening, a walk, cycle, strength, or a few short sprint reps at three-quarter pace seem to make the return to running easier.
I run 5 days a week and have 2 "rest" days. One rest day I do nothing (this is usually the day after my long run). The other rest day I will typically do some core strength training or some elliptical/bike, something to change it up.

On 2 Nov 2007, the Free Software Foundation Europe held an event in London, UK called "Free Software as a Social Innovation" to which I was fortunate to be invited. Run jointly with M6-IT CIC and described as an event to "help people learn more about Free Software and provide opportunities for hands-on experience with the technology", it was aimed at those in the European not-for-profit[1] and non-governmental sectors (hereafter referred to as the third sector).
Hosted in a relaxed style, far removed from the larger corporate-style events that I have often been to, the event showed me something else. If we are to influence people into considering free software, particularly those in the third sector, then a steadier and more personal approach may be the way to go about it.
The venue helped a great deal. The top floor of a warehouse-type conversion project at the Angel, Islington there was none of your glass and plastic-covered metal here. Bare brick, plaster, huge solid tables and a monster staircase from street level were the order of the day.
The numbers helped as well—just 16 "delegates" (although I'm not sure anyone thought of themselves as that) and a handful of organisers. Instead of rows of theatre style seating we just grabbed a chair and sat where we could see the presentations. The event was also about allowing people to try out free software with, importantly, somebody of greater experience beside them. This process was enabled through the use of a number of thin clients running off an LTSP powered laptop. The hands-on area was in the same room as the talks so we could move straight from group conversations to hands-on testing and demonstration. Usually by sliding our chairs backwards.
There were two main speakers, Georg Greve (founder and president of FSFE) and Matthew Edmonson of M6-IT. Both spoke with depth and conviction on the power of free software as a social innovator and both talks generated significant discussion, often interrupting the main speaker. They also spoke on the apparent similarity between the processes and ethics of the third sector and the Free Software community (such as sharing, collaborative working, openness and public accountability etc.) and they gave a lot of food for thought.
Advocacy without the soap box
For me as a long term free software advocate, particularly within the third sector, the real benefit of the day was to talk to real people with real vision and associated issues and see if we could find a specific way that free software could help them. So much more effective than simply telling them it was a better option.
I spoke to people who worked in education in poorer nations where (to quote) "the only real threat to Microsoft is piracy" and where Internet connectivity is a rarity even in major cities so distribution and updates of free software is limited. We looked at how something along the lines of a Freedom Toaster could enable people to get hold of free software and this could enable them to use computers in their own language. I also spoke to people involved in environmental issues about how free software could assist them in producing quality and cost-effective social networking projects and to service providers looking at collaborative website projects. Along the way I was aware of others demonstrating how a certain free software application could address a specific need in the hands-on area. I noticed how few times the free speech part of free software came up - generally demonstrators focussed on how good this solution was and those listening seemed to respond well.
I often read statements on how the free software community needs to be marketed, get the hearts and minds of those at the top and generally create a big fuss in order to attract attention. I'm not convinced this is the best way to go about it. Has there been big advertising with regards to the use of GNU/Linux since 1991? IBM did some but that was an IBM advert not a GNU/Linux advert, and yet millions of people use it and the number is growing. Has there been a lot of marketing for OpenOffice.org? Yet again millions are downloading it. There was the advert in the New York Times for Firefox 1.0 but I cannot seem find any figures which indicate its influence on the number of downloads—good or bad and still hundreds of millions of downloads have taken place.
As for the traditional wine-and-dine way to the corporate C.E.O.s heart, I'm not sure how well that will work with the third sector (except for the larger organisations who seem to sometimes consider themselves on a level with big corporates) and I'm not sure it's as effective for the smaller corporations either.
Why and how
Let me ask a question: why do we want people to use free software? You can come up with your own answer but mine is along the lines of: Because it is better in many ways, better use of money, better security, better longevity, less vendor lock-in—better[2]. What I (re)learned at this event was that one of the best ways to show this is to:
- get alongside them
- listen to their vision, dreams,ideas, problems and needs
- address those needs and not your own desire to convert everyone
- show them, don't tell them
- help them help themselves. Don't replace dependency upon one vendor with another (you).
In short we need to do it a few organisations at a time. Grand shiny conferences with thousands of visitors will give them a carrier bag full of unread brochures and probably a lot of questions. Run a series of smaller, more intimate, events with similar numbers of geeks and non-geeks (okay, maybe I should say "professionals") and good hands-on areas and you could have a greater success. Yesm this involves investing time and effort, but people respond to that rather than rhetoric which sounds the same as the corporate sales people (no matter how much more truthful ours is). The end result is very satisfying and if you are talking to those in the third sector, it could be world-changing.
By the way, this is the first post in my Free Software Magazine blog—hope you enjoyed it!
- [1] Or for those like me in the UK the Voluntary and Community sector
- [2] I am aware there are some quite reasonable arguments against these which vary from application to application but in general those are my reasons.
Error: Third Sector is...
The third sector is wider than "not-for-profit and non-governmental" or the old "Voluntary and Community Sector". From the Office of the Third Sector's web site:
"What is the third sector?
[...] It encompasses voluntary and community organisations, charities, social enterprises, cooperatives and mutuals both large and small."
It's rather disappointing that many of us working in the third sector were only told about this event after it happened. Why wasn't it in FSFE's newsletters?
Is there also a small error in a subhead: should "sopa" be "soap" or have I missed a joke?
true... but
"Non-governmental" is fairly wide in it's scope. From Wikipedia:
"A non-governmental organization (NGO) is a legally constituted organization created by private persons or organizations with no participation or representation of any government. In the cases in which NGOs are funded totally or partially by governments, the NGO maintains its non governmental status as far as no government representatives are part of the organization."
It could be argued that social enterprises, cooperatives and mutuals fall into that description but that's just semantics really. :o) I was being a little liberal with my use of third sector but it was really to save me from writing "voluntary & community sector and non-governmental organisations" all the time.
As for notification, I received an advert on a mailing list I am a member of at least three weeks before the event. I guess you'll have to ask the FSFE why it wasn't on their newsletters. The day was well received and I know M6-IT and others (myself included) are looking to produce other such days. If/when I hear of anything I'll put either on here or on http://www.fsdaily.com .
Spotted the typo after submission - typically :o)

Roger ready to match Borg
Roger moved into the final in Halle today with a 6-4, 6-7 (4), 6-3 victory over sixth-seeded Tommy Haas.
It was already Roger's third consecutive match over three sets - he is now just on victory short to equaling Björn Borg's grass-court record of 41 victories from 1976 to 1981.
"I could've — should've — closed it out earlier," Roger said. "Over all, I played pretty solid, but I didn't serve as well as I wanted. He converted only 2 of 16 break-point chances against Haas. "I returned well on the deuce side and had some difficulty on the ad side. Tommy either served better or I couldn't get the ball in play."
Roger will play Tomas Berdych, who defeated Kristof Vliegen, 6-3, 6-2, aiming at his fourth title in Halle. Roger holds a 2-1 edge over Berdych in their head-to-head meetings. Berdych defeated him in the 2004 Olympics but lost the next two encounters at the 2005 Hamburg Masters and in the French Open this year.
Congratulations again. Stay healthy, be happy! All your fans are looking forward to watching every one of your matches at Wimbledon.
It's great! Fourth in a row in Gerry Weber!
Good Luck in Wimbledon!
Congratulations on another trophy and for equalling Borg's record.
Looking forward to Wimbledon, hope you feel rested by then

I am trying to find an obit on Donald Day. SSDI shows that he died on 29 Mar 2007 and was last receiving benefits at Yantis TX. Please advise.
Leighton Kaloupek
McPherson, KS
HI: I will try to find it in our Obits, if possible, Yantis is in Wood Co, partially but it may be in Hopkins Co, TX. if it is a rural route west of town. Maybe Wednesday. 24th Dorothy H
Hello: After so long a time, I finally got to look up your query. I have not found an Obit for Donald Day. We have had some bad luck with
our ladies that keep the Obit up to date, they have passed on. We are in the process of looking up old obits that have been long neglected and plan to get more in our books ASAP. I will keep you in mind, tho.
However, I have found a Obit for Marjorie Ruth Day, husband was Donald D. Day, surviving her in 2005. Marjorie & Donald were married for 63 yrs. They were from Yantis, TX. Maybe yours and we will let you know if Donald's Obit does show up while searching.
We are a volunteer society and don't have a lot of time for research, but if we can help you, we will try as time permits.

Those wishing to enjoy the winter stars have longer nights to do so, but must trade off this benefit with what can be extreme cold- especially if you live in mid-northern latitudes (or further north). Not everyone can go to Florida where you can bask under Orion's glow in your short- sleeve shirt or at most a jacket!
From where this column originates in Hawley, Pennsylvania, the stars beckon through the window at home while the mercury (not the planet) dips below 20 degrees above zero (Fahrenheit) outside. Do I don- no, double-don - the coat(s), gloves, scarf and hat and step out of my relatively cozy abode? Dressed like Nanook from the North, do I defy the freeze as long as I can to look up at those lovely stars?
It's certainly worth it. The easy chair may be comfy and a good book may say, "stay inside"; the TV might even surprise me and have something on worth seeing. But can't that all be enjoyed on a cloudy night? We sure have enough cloudy nights. Clear nights at least in these parts are comparatively rare.
When that bank of nearly omnipresent cloud decides to part (at least it's not as bad as on forever-cloudy Venus), we can glimpse from our very door step or yard, multiple trillions upon trillions of miles beyond to the realm of the outer Universe. Stars of all sorts of magnitude and color, sprinkled so gingerly and in an endless variety of juxtapositions, spread across the heavenly vault.
Our eyes alone on a winter night can peer into the local galactic neighborhood and witness the grand Andromeda spiral galaxy, albeit as a dim and small, fuzzy oval. Without the benefit of even binoculars we may trace the amazing outline of bright stars making up the constellation Orion and detect one seeming star in Orion's "belt" that looks out of place. Like a very tiny patch of cloud, this "star" turns out to be the Great Nebula of Orion, unfolding like a majestic cosmic flower, more and more in telescopes of increasing aperture.
Darting across the field of stars is the occasional meteor, always startling, always wonderful. So fleeting, we ponder from whence it came and where it went. This rocky particle from space meets its glorious end, vaporizing in the upper atmosphere and seen by only very few if any at all.
Gleaming brilliantly in the evening western twilight is Venus, an amazing crescent as seen in a small telescope. Overpowering the already powerful lighthouses of winter's brightest stars is the planet Jupiter, seen in the east as night falls. It's squat disc and four large moons are ready to be inspected by anyone with a small telescope.
We mortals riding this planet we call Earth have all this to witness and more, some perhaps even through our window pane and all of it just outside our doors.

Kate Middleton left the hospital this morning after giving birth to a beautiful bouquet of yellow roses. According to an official statement, she will now travel to Kensington Palace "for a period of rest."
The Telegraph speculates she may not appear again in public until Christmas Day.
"Oh, I'm so sick, I can't possibly go to schoo—Oh, it's Christmas? Be down in 5, DON'T start opening presents without me."
As the Duchess stepped into her waiting Jaguar, a member of the press asked how she was feeling, and Kate responded with a quote from The Sixth Sense: "I'm feeling much better [now]."

UTG Tactical Shooters Bag
$ 22.99
UTG Tactical Shooters Bag - Quantity:
Registered User Login:
- shooters bagit's ok and like they said it's nice if you travel t play airsoft but i would say buy the digi camo crossdraw vest. it will hold every thing. gas, bb's, magazines, pistol, twinkys. everything. buy that instead because it's cooler and better.
ExPlOdInG WhAlE
- For those of you who like to be discreteThe explodingwhale is right, you are better off getting a vest--- For COMBAT. This is a range bag, it is used to carry firearms into the field without being noticed. It is a great bag for the price.
- Good for its price This bag is good for its price. Although it seems small, it can hold quite a bit. I can fit three pistols spare mags, a 10,000 case of cybergun .12 bb's, lube, two 2,000 round cases and six 3,000 round bottles. And I could fit a couple of targets in it too! That is a lot of stuff!!!. I would recomend this bag to anyone looking for something that can hold alot of stuff for a good price.
- Great BagThis is a great bag, there is alot of room in the pockets for various things, the magazine pockets which are slightly flexible and are fastened together by pretty strong buttons can hold a 2000bb jar, a can of gas, and pretty much anything near that size, they fit most magazines, although they will stick out if they curve too much like AK mags. The side pockets are held together by 3 velcro pieces, and can hold almost as much as the main compartment, you can easily fit a 1911 in each side pocket, even two compact pistols. The main compartment which is held together by a zipper has a rather rough spacer inside to seperate things, which im not too fond of and is very hard to get out.(havent yet, but will soon, even if i have to break it) It has enough room for maybe two medium pistols and a compact. It could hold a MAC-10, and any other SMG around that size, it can also hold many magazines. The sling that comes with it you can take off, and is nice quality, if you want you can even put on your own sling or whatever else may fit on there.
Overall its a nice buy, for a very nice price, not really for combat, although if you were playing a very long outdoor game this would be very useful for carrying extra supplies.(by the way, shorty doesnt say this, but this bag is made by UTG)
- Very Nice STORAGE.This is a great bag for storing things, or if you are on a team and travel to cities or states. It can hold most pistols, including my KWC Gold Cup pistol.
The main compartment could not hold a rifle even if you took it apart. It just is not meant to. You could hold something like an UZI I guess. It would be a tight fit thought. It would not be much use on the battlefield. At most it would hamper your movement, make you noisier, and help you hold pistols. It would take you a while to get them out to. Well you can make up your own mind about this one, but i would say don't get this, and just get a Delta Cross Draw Vest. I love that, and I'm sure you would too.
See you in the field
- very nicethis is water proof and it can hold your gun and targets
- shooters bagya, my cosin has this, alot of room and can (like shortys said) can fit most pistiols. good if u are traveling to play.
- niceGood range bag, not too useful on the battle feild though. I got one of these at the Army-Navy store for $35, kicked my self for it.
If you dont already have a bag/box/crate I would suggest one of these so that you can carry your gas chargers and BB loader bottles in to the woods. I would suggest investing in a hard pistol case for your gun instead. If you get a small Plano brand case it will fit right in the range bag as well as your ammunition and gas (thats how I carry my Ruger MK1 and Python 357)
- It's like an SUV!this thing is huge. i fit two spring pistols, my mac 11 with three mags, three other mags with the spring pistols, three cans of green gas, 4000 bbs, a speedloader bottle, my mac 11 holster, my shoulder holster, and more. its worth it, so freckin' buy it already!
- Shoorters BagFor $15 this is a great buy! I bought one 2 months ago and I love it! Its durable and somewhat water tight. I dropped it in a river and just one of the front magazine pouches was wet. Otherwise it was fine...all my guns were fine and everything. I carry two KWA M26Cs, 4 cans of gas, targets, 2 tubes on bbs, a bb claymore, and a holster and there is still room to spare. I recommend it to anyone who only uses pistols...if you carry, lets say, an mp5 aeg, then I would suggest(for more money, but better quality)an Oakley small structured duffle bag. But there both good!
P.S. I know this has nothing to do with the shooters bag but, the sharpshooter package is the best ever!

A Police Officer's Gift of Warm Boots on a Cold Night
A tourist's snapshot of a New York City police officer giving new boots and socks to a homeless man in Times Square earlier this month has sparked a social-media sensation.
The officer in the photograph, identified Thursday as Larry DePrimo, approached the bafefoot man with a pair of all-weather boots and thermal socks on the frigid night of Nov. 14. Jennifer Foster, a tourist from Arizona, recorded the generous act on her cellphone.
DePrimo, speaking to reporters, recalled that even wearing two pairs of socks, his feet were freezing that night. The homeless man "didn't even have a pair of socks on and I could only imagine how cold that pavement was," the 25-year-old said Thursday, clutching a box containing cuff-links given to him by Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly.
Foster's photo was posted Tuesday night to the NYPD's official Facebook page and became an hit, with more than a half-million users sharing or liking the post.
The photo shows the officer kneeling beside the man with the boots at his feet. A shoe store is seen in the background.
DePrimo said buying the boots "was something I had to do." He tried to persuade the man to get something to eat, but he declined and left.
"When I brought out the shoes, it was just a smile from ear to ear," the police officer said. "It was a great moment for both of us."

Navy's China Lake Solar Plant Begins Operations
SunPower Corp. on October 19 announced the completion of the U.S. Navy's largest solar system, a 13.78-megawatt solar photovoltaic (PV) power system at Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, California. The power plant is the first federal agency project to be financed through a 20-year term solar power purchase agreement. The plant, designed and operated by SunPower Corp., is generating the equivalent of more than 30% of China Lake's annual energy load, helping to reduce costs by an estimated $13 million over the next 20 years.
The 20-year power purchase agreement requires no upfront capital or maintenance obligations from the Navy, matches conventional project financing terms for solar power facilities, and allows the Navy to secure electricity at up to 30% below the rate available through shorter duration 10-year power purchase agreements.
SunPower has installed more than 50 megawatts (MW) of solar power systems at government facilities to date. The systems the company has delivered to the Navy and U.S. Air Force alone generate enough electricity to power about 9,000 homes. According to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates, the Navy and Air Force systems will reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere by almost 732,000 tons over the next 20 years. See the SunPower press release.
China Lake also has four geothermal power plants that produce up to 270 MW of electricity, or enough electricity for approximiately 378,000 households. The site has been in continuous operation since 1987, and was the Navy's first site to tap thermal energy. See the China Lake Natural Resources webpage.

I grew fond of it as soon as I used in on the mac... I hated the windows version though.
If you just need the Pro version for Full Screen viewing, save your money and see this quick article: http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/mac911/2005/08/fullscreen/index.php
This is the backbone of all of Apple's media applications. Apple is slow to adopt new decoding schemes, but as a whole can decode most formats. Windows users will find that a number of AVI codecs are not supported. This isn't a problem with QT, but rather a problem with the AVI specifications, which allows developers to create their own codecs. People that use pay-site video, my have problems with decodeing AVIs.
WMF,WMV is now supported though plug-ins, through Flip4Mac. So far, there is no decoding through QT of Windows formatted media with Windows DRM.
Users will find it beneficial to go to Apple's QT page and down load any and all plug-ins, as many codecs common on the web are supported, but not bundled with QT.
Apple has really got to throw Quicktime Pro in as part of the OS X operating system. As is, OS X already comes with the library to do everything, it's just the client that won't give access to it. Clever scripting with AppleScript can get you the additional features, like full screen playback, but most regular users aren't going to know how. Still, I've bought the Pro version for my machines just because it really is that handy.

For the past four years, one of the most popular Relay for Life fundraisers for cancer research has been Dancing with the Stars.
Organized by JoAnn Dehncke and her team, "The Bobbers" in honor of her late husband Bob, Dancing with the Stars was inspired by the popular TV show of the same name.
For the fifth year, The Bobbers bring local couples dancing up a storm for the entertainment of the community.
In addition to the couples featured rehearsing here, this year's event is scheduled to include:
• Several groups of Just for Kix children dancers.
• Elizabeth Smith and Bob Dehncke Jr. slow dancing to "You Are So Beautiful to Me".
• Joel and Amanda Mathiowetz doing a country swing to "Fishin' in the Dark".
• Josalyn and Kaylee Dehncke, performing a karate/dance mix to "Never Say Never".
• Tim Wetmore, singing "You Raise Me Up".
This year's Dancing with the Stars fundraiser is set for Sunday, Feb. 17, in the Estebo Performing Arts Center of Redwood Valley High School.
Previous years' shows have sold out, so seating is reserved. Tickets are available at Connie's Hallmark.
For more information, call JoAnn Dehncke at 507-697-6261.
