Record and controversies
Iraq War
Kennedy voted against the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq in Oct. 2002.
In 2003, during the debate over the FY2004 Defense Appropriation, Kennedy introduced an amendment (S.AMDT.1273) to require President Bush to report to Congress his strategy for reconstruction efforts in Iraq, humanitarian aid assistance to Iraqi citizens, and encouraging international support for the rebuilding efforts. Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska), who referred to other Democratic calls for presidential accountability in regards to Iraq "nitpicking," effectively motioned to table (kill) the amendment.
In debating the FY2005 defense appropriations bill the following year, Sen. Kennedy introduced an amendment (S.AMDT.3377) requiring that, no later than 30 days after the bill's enactment, the president submit a public report to Congress on the strategy of the United States regarding stabilization and rebuilding in Iraq, an estimate on the number of U.S. troops that will be serving in Iraq as of December 31, 2005, and the percentage of these forces that will be members of the National Guard and Army Reserves. Supporters argued that the bill would require accountability on the part of President Bush. Opponents, however, felt as though the measure was both too burdensome and unrealistic, for it would be impossible to predict troop levels far into the future. The amendment failed 48-50.
On January 9, 2007, Sen. Kennedy introduced legislation (S.233) prohibiting President Bush from committing more troops to Iraq without specific approval from Congress. Specifically, Sen. Kennedy stated, "Today I am introducing legislation to reclaim the rightful role of Congress and the people's right to a full voice in the President's plan to send more troops to Iraq. My bill will say that no additional troops can be sent and no additional dollars can be spent on such an escalation, unless and until Congress approves the President's plan."
Kennedy argued that the original mandate authorizing the Iraq War (passed by Congress in October 2002) had expired because "the mission of our armed forces today in Iraq bears no resemblance whatever to the mission authorized by Congress." He continued to explain that the Iraq War resolution "authorized a war to destroy weapons of mass destruction. But there were no WMDs to destroy. It authorized a war with Saddam Hussein. But today Saddam is no more. It authorized a war because Saddam was allied with al Qaeda. But there was no alliance."
Environmental record
For more information on environmental legislation, see the Energy and Environment Policy Portal
Alternative energy
Ted Kennedy has maintained a record in favor of alternative energy sources as seen in his voting record as a senator. [1] Some people see Kennedy's opposition to a proposed wind farm off Cape Cod, within sight of his home [2] as hypocritical or as an example of a NIMBY philosophy. Senator Kennedy did not support the interests of the American Coalition for Ethanol fuel in 2002. [3]
Executive power
In July 2006, Kennedy gave his support to a bill by Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) that would allow Congress to file a lawsuit to get presidential signing statements declared unconstitutional. [4]
- For further details see the Congresspedia article on presidential signing statements.
Seeks to block lending companies from accessing student information
On April 15, 2007, Kennedy urged the Bush administration to block student loan companies from accessing a national database that includes confidential information on tens of millions of college students. The request following a Washington Post report which exposed inappropriate searches of the database possibly in violation of federal rules. The database, called the National Student Loan Data System, contains Social Security numbers, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, birth dates and other financial information.[1]
In a letter to Education Secretary Margaret Spellings, he stated "Until the security of the database can be ensured, I urge you to block the use of the database by private lenders."[2]
Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act
In 2007, Kennedy sponsored the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act which would give the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) greater authority to regulate tobacco products in an effort to assist current smokers with quitting and prevent tobacco manufacturers from enticing youth to smoke.[3]
Kennedy was born February 22, 1932. He was the brother of assassinated President John F. Kennedy and former US Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. Because of Kennedy's personal prominence and his longtime advocacy of liberal principles, he was often regarded as a "lion" of the Democratic Party.
Family and youth
Kennedy was the youngest of nine children of Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. and Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, a prominent Irish-American family. He attended Harvard College in 1950. He was forced to withdraw for two years from Harvard in May 1951 after he was allegedly caught cheating on his final examination in a Spanish class. Kennedy then entered the U.S. Army for two years and was assigned to the SHAPE headquarters in Paris. He eventually re-entered Harvard, graduating in June 1956. In 1958, he attended the Hague Academy of International Law. He earned his law degree from the University of Virginia and was admitted to the Massachusetts bar in 1959. While he was in law school, he managed his brother John's 1958 Senate re-election campaign.
In 1962, Kennedy was elected to the Senate from Massachusetts in a special election to fill the seat left vacant by his oldest brother, John, upon the latter's election as president. He was elected to a full six-year term in 1964 and was reelected in 1970, 1976, 1982, 1988 and 2000.
Kennedy was the second-longest serving current senator, behind only Robert Byrd. In 2006, Kennedy was elected to an eighth full term (and ninth overall term). If he had served out his full six-year term, he would have served in the U.S. Senate for fifty years.
His son, Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy, is a seven-term congressman serving Rhode Island's 1st congressional district.
Early career
Kennedy's career in the Senate has frequently attracted national attention. During his 1962 campaign, he was accused by his opponents of riding on his family's name and fortune, and (having no previous experience in elected office) of not being sufficiently qualified to hold so high an office. Soon after entering office, he went through the trauma of the assassination of his brother John, an event that focused much attention on him.
In 1964, Kennedy was in a plane crash in which the pilot and one of Kennedy's aides were killed. He was pulled from the wreckage by fellow senator Birch Bayh (D-IN) and spent weeks in a hospital recovering from a severe back injury, a punctured lung, broken ribs, and internal bleeding.
In 1968, his last surviving brother, Robert, was assassinated during his bid to be nominated as Democratic candidate for the presidency.
In 1969, Kennedy defeated Louisiana Senator Russell B. Long to become Senate Majority Whip. He would serve as Whip until January 1971, when he was replaced by Senator Robert C. Byrd of West Virginia.
Kennedy was a founder of the Congressional Friends of Ireland, and a trustee of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.
On July 18, 1969, after a party on Chappaquiddick Island near the island of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, Kennedy, allegedly intoxicated, a claim which he denies, drove away with Mary Jo Kopechne as a passenger in his car. According to Kennedy, he made a wrong turn onto an unlit road that led to a wooden bridge that was angled obliquely to the road, and drove over its side, which had no guardrail. The car plunged into the water, landing upside-down. Kennedy claims he tried several times to swim down to reach her, but Kopechne died. Kennedy discussed the accident with several people, including his lawyer, before he contacted the police.
The incident quickly blossomed into a scandal. Kennedy was criticized for allegedly driving drunk, for failing to save Kopechne, for failing to summon help immediately and for contacting not the police but rather his lawyer first. Kennedy entered a plea of guilty to a charge of leaving the scene of an accident after causing injury. He received a sentence of two months in jail, which was suspended.
Presidential bid
A decade after the Chappaquiddick incident, Kennedy decided to throw his hat in the ring for the Democratic nomination in the 1980 presidential election. He launched an unusual, insurgent campaign against a sitting president, Democratic incumbent Jimmy Carter. Kennedy was unafraid of criticizing the president, who was mired in the Iran hostage crisis. He did, however, vow to support Carter if he were re-nominated. Despite much early support, his bid was ultimately unsuccessful, largely due to controversy surrounding the incident at Chappaquiddick. Kennedy won 10 presidential primaries against Carter who won 24. Eventually he bowed out of the race, but delivered a rousing speech before the 1980 Democratic National Convention that many consider to be one of his finest moments.[5]
Political views
This article is part of the Tobacco portal on Sourcewatch funded from 2006 - 2009 by the American Legacy Foundation.
Tobacco issues
Sen. Kennedy has long been a supporter of public health efforts to regulate tobacco products and tobacco industry behavior.
In March 1993, Sen. Kennedy introduced S.1883, the Tobacco Product Education and Health Protection Act of 1990. The Act was sweeping in its scope and aimed at aggressively reducing the toll of death and disease caused by tobacco. As written, the Act would have established a Center for Tobacco Products to make grants to public and private organizations to conduct anti-smoking campaigns directed at minors and those in groups of highest tobacco use. Target audiences included youth, school dropouts, minorities, blue collar workers and low and no-income individuals. The Center would also have been directed to regulate tobacco additives and to inform the public of such additives and harmful tobacco smoke constituents. The Center would have been directed to underwrite a broad range of anti-smoking initiatives by private entities and state and local authorities, including anti-smoking campaigns in schools and work places, and to coordinate with film makers, broadcast media managers and others regarding the impact of media on tobacco use behavior.[6]
On March 7, 1994, Senator Kennedy spoke on ABC's "Day One" program investigating nicotine manipulation. Kennedy called on the Government Accounting Office (GAO) to investigate the manipulation of nicotine in cigarettes. Sen. Kennedy likened the tobacco industry's power and influence to that of the National Rifle Association, saying this powerful lobby has cut off all attempts to regulate and investigate it. [7]
More recently, on February 7, 2007 Kennedy co-sponsored a controversial bill to give the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authority to regulate tobacco products.[8] In an odd twist from Kennedy's past legislation to regulate tobacco, this bill was strongly supported by Philip Morris,[9] which touts its position in support of the bill on its Website, and was opposed by the American Academy of Public Health Physicians.[10] This turnabout of positions has concerned public health advocates, who feel the bill contains many loopholes that will benefit Philip Morris while putting public health at a disadvantage.
No Child Left Behind
Kennedy was a major player in the bipartisan team that wrote the controversial No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, which according to both Kennedy and President Bush, was a compromise. He then worked to get it passed in a Republican-controlled Congress, despite the opposition of members from both parties.
Kennedy has since argued that the No Child Left Behind is an unfunded mandate because the President and Congress have mandated obligations upon the states without providing equivalent funds, forcing the states to spend money to comply with the federal law. Libertarians and Conservatives have had mixed reactions to the bill, on the one hand disliking the expansion of the federal government, but on the other hand favoring the school choice provisions that it sets forth.
Right to abortion
Although he has been a staunch advocate of abortion rights for the past 30 years, Kennedy only adopted this position after Roe v. Wade became the law of the land. In 1987, Kennedy delivered an impassioned speech condemning Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork as a right-wing extremist and warning that "Robert Bork's America" would be one marked by back alley abortions and other backward practices. Kennedy's strong opposition to Bork's nomination is commonly seen as a prominent factor in the Senate's rejection of Bork's candidacy. Similar concerns have been raised in more recent Supreme Court nominations, as well; it is possible that Kennedy's opposition to Bork set a precedent. In recent years, he has argued that much of the debate over abortion is a false dichotomy. Speaking at the National Press Club in 2005, he remarked, "Surely, we can all agree that abortion should be rare, and that we should do all we can to help women avoid the need to face that decision." [11]
Immigration policy
Ted Kennedy was a strong supporter of the 1965 Hart-Celler Act which dramatically changed US immigration policy. [12] "The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs." (U.S. Senate, Subcommittee on Immigration and Naturalization of the Committee on the Judiciary, Washington, D.C., Feb. 10, 1965. pp. 1-3.). Kennedy was the ranking Democrat on the Senate Committee on Immigration, and was a strong advocate for immigrants.
Many people feel that this legislation dramatically changed the face of America society by making it a multicultural nation. Prior to the Hart-Celler Act, immigration policy was very selective and geared towards European countries. Proponents of the bill argued that immigration laws and quotas were discriminatory, and that American immigration policy should accept people not on the basis of their nationality. This also abolished the Chinese Exclusion Act, 1882.
War On Terrorism
Though a supporter of the American-led 2001 overthrow of the Taliban government in Afghanistan, Senator Kennedy was a vocal critic of the American-led 2003 invasion and subsequent occupation of Iraq. He has also been a harsh critic of the way the war was planned and conducted by the Bush Administration.
Of particular concern to Sen. Kennedy was the United States' treatment of the prisoners taken in the War on Terrorism. Applying standards of human rights that are available to all Americans, he believes there should be no difference between the treatment of accused terrorists and the treatment of accused criminals in the USA, such as the right to a speedy trial (or the suspect should be released), and the right to legal representation.
On September 27, 2004, Sen. Kennedy made a speech on the Senate floor regarding the war in Iraq, just prior to the 2004 U.S. Presidential election. [13]
Minimum Wage
Kennedy along with Senators Hillary Clinton, Jim Jeffords, Patrick Leahy, Tom Harkin, and Barack Obama authored the Standing with Minimum Wage Earners Act of 2006. This bill would change the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1983 by keeping the wage increase for Congressional members at the same pace as the increase of the federal minimum wage. [14] [15]
Student financial aid legislation
On January 4, 2007, Senator Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) introduced a Senate version of a House financial aid bill (S.1642), which was co-sponsored by Senator Kennedy.
Specifically, the bill would gradually decreases the rate on subsidized federal loans until 2011, when it hits a temporary low of 3.4 percent for a six-month period. Once that period is up, the rate will revert to 6.8 percent unless future legislation dictates otherwise. "Subsidized" loans are those for which the federal government pays the interest until the student leaves school.[1] The bill would raise fees on and cut profit margins for student lenders to offset the proposed cut. An estimate by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) stated that the rate cut would cost $8.1 billion over a five year period. Increased loan fees would raise $2.7 billion and reducing guaranteed lender profit margins would raise another $2.5 billion over the same period, according to CBO. The remainder of the cost would be raised by reducing lender guarantees and retaining certain guaranty agency collections.[2]
Kennedy, however, announced plans to support a broader education bill which would halve interest rates on more than just Stafford loans, raise the Pell Grant limit to $5,100, cap federal student loan payments at 15 percent of a borrower's discretionary income, forgive the debt for those who stay in public service careers, and encourage schools to use the government's Direct Loan Program. [16]

Political resurrection
In 1991, during the Clarence Thomas hearings, Kennedy's career reached what has been called a low ebb. Journalist Anna Quindlen wrote that he "let us down because he had to; he was muzzled by the facts of his life." The Boston Globe, editorialized that his "reputation as a womanizer made him an inappropriate and non-credible" critic of Thomas.
According to a 2002 article in The Nation by Jack Newfield, that year also appears to represent a turning point. His good friend, Republican Senator Orrin Hatch confronted him about his drinking and then he "met Vicki Reggie and ended his partying."
After his marriage in 1992, he faced a tough challenger, Mitt Romney, for re-election to the Senate in 1994. Some of Romney's supporters criticized Kennedy for statements he had made about the exclusionary policies of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in which Romney held a leadership role [17]. Kennedy defeated Romney with 58 percent of the vote. According to Newfield, Kennedy's family and friends believe that campaign "allowed him to reconnect with his reasons for believing in public service."
Newfield states that "In making the physical and emotional sacrifices necessary to win an exhausting campaign, Kennedy recovered his dedication to remain in the Senate, and he focused all his energies on the job"; he goes on to call him "the best and most effective senator of the past hundred years." "Because of his tragic experience", says Newfield, he is often found serving as "America's national grief counselor." Despite his liberal views, "The key to Kennedy's effectiveness has been his remarkable capacity to form warm, genuine friendships—more than mere working alliances—with GOP senators." [18]
2003 Winner of the George Bush Award. [19]
2006 elections
In 2006, Republicans nominated Ken Chase to face Kennedy in his November 2006 bid for reelection. (See U.S. congressional elections in 2006) [20] Kennedy retained his seat.
Health issues
On May 17, 2008, Kennedy was airlifted to a Cape Cod hospital after emergency responders first treated him at home following an apparent seizure. He spent several hours in the emergency room, before being transferred to Massachusetts General Hospital. Last year, the senator underwent surgery to unclog a partially closed artery in his neck.[3] Forty-eight hours following Kennedy's apparent seizure, doctors could not identify the cause. [4]
On May 20, doctors announced they had diagnosed Kennedy having a malignant brain tumor. A biopsy performed May 19 helped identify a glioma, which accounts for about half of the brain tumors diagnosed each year. Kennedy was released on May 21, and, accompanied by his family (including son Rep. Patrick Kennedy), left the hospital to return home. Kennedy's doctors said they would "determine his course of treatment after further testing and analysis."[5]

my insitute thinks about purchasing Qcad for biomorpometrical measurement purposes.
Is it possible to output the coordinates (relative to relative zero) of points in the command line window with qcad3?
In version 2 it was at least possible to use the polygon measument tool to get the absolute coordinates.
But with version 3 this feature seams to be gone.
The optimal case for us would be:
- load image
- set relative zero
- measure 3-5 cooradinates relativ to relative zero
- output in commandline for copy&paste to excel-list.
Could this be done with scripting?
Should not be to hard, because the coordinates are allready displayed in the status-bar?
Perpaps you think about implementing such a feature in future versions?

Legally blind councilman trains to be EMT
March 11, 2013
MARIETTA — Steve Thomas has never been one to back down from a challenge, and living with a major vision impairment he's had his share, but that hasn't stopped Thomas from running for and winning......
Round 2: Mr. Thomas, did you ever notice there aren't many legally blind doctors or nurses, let alone first responders. This is not carving out new territroy for the disabled. This is creating risk for everyone else. Do you really understand that everyone you touch can sue you once you have that EMT certification? Take a First Aid class like everyone else and call 911. Yet another example of not well-thought out thinking by the Marietta City Council.
4 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Congratulations on having the determination to help your community. Now will an adult step up to get the semi-blind first responder out of the way before the city gets hit with a massive lawsuit? A legally blind person has absolutely no business being a member of an active response unit. Every person he touches automatically has a potential lawsuit against the city. A lawsuit they will win! First responders are not protected by the Good Samaritan Law so any action he takes to help someone makes the City responsible. Does the City's Insurance Underwriter know about this? I'm guessing they won't be impressed and will either drop the City or increase the rates significantly. I appreciate the motivation and intention as much as anyone, but, I don't want the City to send this person to help me or anyone else. As a Basic EMT he is more than worthless because during a transport, he is only allowed to drive the ambulance, not tend the patient. He is clearly a hazard behind the wheel.

(F) Use of unreliable testimony: two United States Strategic Bombing Survey interrogations.
1. In the published account Irving recounted that two German medical officers (Desaga and Hurd) were interrogated by the United States Strategic Bombing Survey on 19 July 1945. They had stated that '"the most badly damaged town in their opinion is Dresden, with an estimated death-roll of 250,000"'142 As usual Irving provided no exact reference and no information as to who these doctors even were. There is no indication that they were in a position to do anything more than repeat rumour and nothing to link their statements to TB 47, other than of course to confirm that it was an effective propaganda figure. It is probably in connection with this source that official USAF historian Joseph W. Angell wrote in a report formulated in 1952 - 1953 (but not declassified until 1970):
The most distorted account of the Dresden bombing - one that may have become the basis of Communist propaganda against the Allies, particularly the Americans, of recent years - was prepared by two former German general officers for the Historical Division, European Command (U.S.A.) in 1948. In this account, the number of dead from the bombings was declared to be 250,000.

3. A second USAF historian wrote an account of the bombing raids on Dresden in 1954, and did not even mention the original United States Strategic Bombing Survey report, preferring rather to approvingly to cite Rumpf's 60,000 figure as 'closer to the correct figure.'144 Irving's supporting source has thus been decisively described by official USAF historians as unreliable.

OAKLAND -- Smiles. Laughter. Energy. Those were the traits shared over and over by more than 300 people who gathered Thursday at Castlemont High School to remember four Oakland cousins killed when their rented SUV crashed southwest of Bakersfield earlier this week.
Grieving family and friends of David Moa, 19; George Moa, 19; Malia Moa, 17; and Rachel Fisi'iahi, 19, took to the football field at lunchtime to honor the memory of the four teenagers killed Monday. The enormous crowd also kept in their thoughts Hunter Halatoa, 17, who was injured in the crash but is expected to survive.
The cousins "lived to inspire and inspired (us) to live," said George Moa's sister, Siu Vave, of Oakland. "They shared joy. That is what they lived for."
The memorial, planned by Castlemont students and staff in just two days, was so well attended that sections of bleachers in the football stadium were practically full, said school principal John Lynch.
The ceremony included a traditional Polynesian dance as well as a presentation of David Moa's former jersey to his family -- Moa was a football player at the high school before he graduated in 2012. He loved the sport and was training with the Laney College football team in hopes of becoming one of their next tight ends.
"The families are all very touched at this unexpected tribute," Vave said, wiping at tears that trickled down her face. "The tears of the students lightened the family's burden."
The teens were driving home from a weekend spent watching a rugby match in Las Vegas when George Moa fell asleep at the wheel, crashing and flipping the vehicle on Highway 58 near Mojave. The cousins loved the sport and finally had won the privilege from their parents to make the solo trip to Vegas.
The teens' kindness and ebullient personalities were an oft-repeated refrain at the memorial. Dozens of students wore T-shirts with the faces of the four teens; some of the shirts read "Fantastic Four" to highlight their bright personalities.
Oakland High School student Pola Leka, 16, was friends with the cousins and briefly left class to attend the memorial.
She smiled as she talked about time spent with the Moas and how "there was never a dull moment" when she hung out with them, be it band practice or if she spotted them while she was driving down a street.
"They were good people; they were never negative and always friendly," Leka said. "They were always down to meet new people."
Castlemont student Moala Halatola, 16, echoed Leka's sentiments.
Her left hand was scribbled on in different colors of black, brown and a little blue, shortly but sweetly paying tributes to special memories she had of her cousins.
"Love Momo," "#8400 kisses," and "Miss you" were just some of the phrases adorning her hand.
"This is the first time I have had to deal with something like this, and I'm surprised it hit me as hard as it did," she said softly. "They were so full of life, so young. With them, there was always laughing, they were the life of the party."
Halatola looked down when she said one of the hardest parts of the grieving process was that the entire family was beginning to plan a family reunion.
Now, they were planning a funeral.
Although spirits remained relatively upbeat during the school memorial, dozens that gathered at Fuller Funerals on International Boulevard just hours later were far more somber.
Rather than smiles, there were tears, silence and little laughter.
While the parents of the teens sat with their children in backrooms, family and friends hugged, nodded to one another and then sat, waiting to pay their respects.
After the memorial, Vave said she hoped the young people who attended would be able to take something positive away from seeing how many lives the cousins had touched.
'The families are grateful for love, support and the kind words," Vave said after the memorial. "It's just so much love."

France, 1915: Lieutenant Tom Donald envies everything about fellow officer Frank Foden - his confidence, his easy manner with the men in the trenches, the affectionate letters from his wife. Frank shares these letters happily, drawing Tom into a vicarious friendship with a woman he's never met. Although the bonds of friendship forged under fire are strong, Tom can't be so open with Frank - he's attracted to men and could never confess that to anyone.
When Frank is killed in no-man's-land, he leaves behind a mysterious request for Tom: to deliver a sealed letter to a man named Palmer. Tom undertakes the commission while on leave - and discovers that almost everything he thought he knew about Frank is a lie....

"A Great Story..."
Charlie Cochrane's tale may have been set in WWI but the experience can be applied even to today's lives...at least mine. I related so much with Tom Donald and his experiences of never telling the one that you love...Kevin Stillwell's narration was fantastic and made the characters come to life. A great story...
"Sweet novella - very good narration"
This is a sweet romance. The author successfully casts you into the cadence of an epistolary relationship set in the years of World War I. Sufficiently self-contained but leaves you wanting (in a good way) to know more about the characters and their lives.
I don't understand why this book gets such good reviews. It took me ages to get through it, even though it is a short book. It only picked up for me at the very end. I found it quite dull, mostly because of the narration, I think. It seemed so very slow. Sorry, not for me.
I'm Married 25 years with 5 sons. I love romance anything to do with love, love and more love. I am officially a audible junkie :)
"very touching!"
I loved this story. i cried through it like a frigging baby lol Seriously it touched my heart. This was such a sweet full filling story, it was lovely.
He did excellent and I wouldn't hesitate to listen to him again.
"Wonderful Story"
A review for an audio book is slightly different to a review for a written book, they are the same story but for an audiobook to work, especially if the listener has not read the story first, the narrator has to be able to convey the right tone, inflection and pace for the story to resonate without the listener loosing track of what is going on. The narrator for Promises Under Fire is Kevin Stillwell, and his narration in a slow, dry, English voice is perfect. Even though I could have been doing anything while listening to the story I found myself absorbed in it.

Chronic hives can be caused by both allergic and non-allergic processes. Uncovering the source or types of chronic urticaria is of critical importance for effective management of this condition. Though not life-threatening in and of themselves, hives can be a serious, debilitating nuisance. Hives can also accompany anaphylaxis, which is a life-threatening condition. These are the two types of hives:
Allergic Hives (Urticaria): This is a hypersensitivity disease that results when the immune system mistakenly overreacts to something that is otherwise harmless, otherwise known as an allergen (such as a food or drug).
Physical Hives (Urticaria): In other cases, the cause of the hives is some physical stimulus such as cold, heat, sunlight, water, pressure, or vibration.

'Captain America: The Winter Soldier': Review Revue
This week at the multiplex, we've got just one new wide release: Review Revue: "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," starring Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson, and Scarlett Johansson in the latest Marvel superhero adventure. Find out what the critics have to say on Rotten Tomatoes.
"Captain America: The Winter Soldier"
It's become fashionable in some film-going circles to dismiss the recent spate of comic book adaptations as evidence that Hollywood is bereft of ideas. Critics say "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" offers a powerful rebuttal, delivering outstanding performances and a thoughtful political undercurrent to complement its visceral thrills.
This time out, Captain America (Chris Evans) is working undercover for S.H.I.EL.D., but quickly discovers that the organization is far more secretive than he suspected. Meanwhile, a mysterious assassin known as the Winter Soldier has carried out a series of killings — and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) seems to know more about his identity than she's telling. "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" is Certified Fresh at 88 percent on Rotten Tomatoes' Tomatometer; check out some of the reviews here:
Fresh: "What makes 'The Winter Soldier' so enjoyable… and what will make it so profitable, is its emotional bandwidth — all the vivid, nuanced life lived by its characters in between their frenzied escapades." — Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal.
Fresh: "'The Winter Soldier' is superbly made and well-acted, neatly setting up the next few installments with just the right enticing sense of ongoing mystery." – Ann Hornaday, Washington Post.
Fresh: "'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' is the first superhero film since the terrorist-inflected The Dark Knight that plugs you right into what's happening now." — Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten: "'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' has the usual overlong running time, the half-hearted feints in the direction of human feeling and the obligatory action sequences that are big without being either exciting or particularly legible." — Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle.

One of the major software programs we should be using every day, is a virus scanner. This single piece of software can be found on almost every PC in the world.
It is also a major source of funding for companies like McAfee and Norton. So I was pleasantly surprised when I got a note about a new free software alternative to these costly proprietary anti-virus programs, ClamWin Free Antivirus.
I was pleasantly surprised when I got a note about a new free software alternative to these costly proprietary anti-virus programs, [ClamWin Free Antivirus ](http://clamwin.com)
ClamWin has gone so far as to win the "Project of the Month" award from SourceForge. This month, I'll happily guide you through ClamWin's strengths and weaknesses and guide you through some key features.
Installation and configuration
ClamWin has a nice, easy to browse website which quickly lead me to the download. At under 5MB it was a breeze, even for my poor old 56k modem.
The installation went without a hitch, taking only a few minutes to install the software with the default options. The installer also lead me though a simple update process, which went by quickly. This process gets the latest definitions from ClamAV.
The installation went without a hitch, taking only a few minutes to install the software with the default options
The program was installed fully configured, although many options are available for more advanced users. There's also an Outlook email scanner and context menu add-in for Windows Explorer.
All in all, I had the program set up in 5 minutes (minus the update process). After completing the setup process the application immediately started in my system tray.
Starting up
ClamWin provided a very user friendly interface and ample documentation.
The entire program was well laid out and all of the main features could easily be accessed from the main window.
It's important to note that ClamWin doesn't perform active scanning (e.g. Scanning files as you open them). ClamWin requires you to perform scanning manually or via preset scheduled scans.
ClamWin also allowed me to set up automatic updates. In my testing I didn't check the typical update time, but it should be rather short as only the definitions need to be updated.
I tested ClamAV by scanning a 221MB CD-ROM. In my tests it took 6 minutes (noting that the proprietary McAfee takes only 30 seconds). The scanning interface was very clean and uncluttered. I was unable to test with real viruses (for obvious reasons), however the ClamAV libraries are very trusted, and hence should pick up any nasties.
The context menu scanner also works very well, allowing you to quickly scan any files you might have any doubts about. The email scanner only works with Outlook, although files can be scanned individually outside the client.
The scheduler can be used to set scans and updates to occur when you're away from your computer. The scheduler was easy to use, and I was able to quickly set up a series of scans for my PC.
The scheduler was easy to use, and I was able to quickly set up a series of scans for my PC
It should also be noted that anti-virus technology is best paired with a good firewall for optimum security.
ClamWin provided everything that would be required by most anti-virus users and then some; the lack of active scanning being the only drawback. It's a good replacement to the proprietary software you might be using now.
My queries were answered in only a few short hours, making technical support easy for non-technical users
ClamWin also has an excellent community, with a good set of forums and very active developers. My queries were answered in only a few short hours, making technical support easy for non-technical users.
Organizations can look to ClamWin as a sign of things to come.
I hope this has inspired you to try out ClamWin for yourself, and perhaps to think twice when that "subscription fee" for your other scanner comes due. Or, if you've never used a virus scanner, hopefully this will give you new power to secure your digital life.

One problem could be your computer has a very slow processor and an extremely small amount of RAM. Running this on server 2003, RAID array size = 240GB and it takes about 90 minutes to scan that.

Subject: Clamwin
I read the review of Clamwin and there is only a hint of something people should know: this program takes a long time to do a scan. On my 40 mB drive, several hours are required and there is no progress bar to tell you how far along the process has gone. I find that the only practical way to scan is to start Clamwin and let it run overnight.

Subject: ClamWin
I noticed that my email provider was using Clam's serverside anti-virus and was pleased to find that Clam did the Clam Win Windows version.
I used to use Norton, but found it very heavy on system resources and was looking for an alternative, but I was prepared to pay if necessary.
ClamWin installed without a hitch and uses very few system resources, making it idea for older or low ram systems in my opinion. The fact that it is free is an added benefit, but does not detract from the functioning of the program in any way. Updates are frequent and download without problem, although my XP system causes a small problem when it wakes up from standby and ClamWin initiates the update process when Windows is still not fully 'awake'. A manual update sorts out the problem - and there is a warning message so you know when something is not right.
The only weaknesses are the absence of an on-demand scanner, although this is not a great problem seeing as I always scan any downloaded files before opening them. And the fact that it is a wee bit slow - but I guess this is the price you pay for low system resource usage and a low level of system integration. Leaving it running overnight is the answer, but I imagine newer versions will get faster in the future.
All in all it is an excellent utility and the Outlook integration and forthcoming Firefox plugins will add yet more value to it.
A replacement for proprietary AV software? Definitely!
The wonderful Open Source community yet again shows the market the way to go. Long may it continue.

Why Clamwin Cannot clean a virus??
avg 7.5 is free,avg can clean the virus. why clamin cannot clean viruses
no vivirus cleaner option
there is no virus cleaner & active scan option in your clamwin anti-virus software. So you can put that option in your clamwin anti-virus software &you can sell that software at the range of 4-6$.If you do like this then you & your software will be in great demand.
Quarantine option
Hi,Iam new to ClamWin does clamwin cleans the virus found.does it cleans or does it delete
i tried the eicar test it is able to fine the virus but does it take any action and another information i would like to know is is there any option to install this in a network so that i can push the updates to the client
*please help me ASAP*
My name is Suriya
Re: Quarantine option
I don't think it does clean infected files, it just quarantines them. (To be deleted later).
Action on Virus
When a virus file is found clamwin either remove or quarantine or just report based on the settings we have done on the general configure page of clamwin
en español?
es un buen anti virus pero me gustaria me enviaras el paquete o archivos para convertirlo a lenguaje castellano.
email: [email protected]
No one answered this, and maybe it's because they don't speak Spanish, or maybe it's because like me, they don't know the answer, but in case of the former, the question was:
"It's a good anti-virus [software], but I would like to get a package to convert it to Castillian." (which IIRC, just means the dialect of Spanish spoken in Spain or "es_ES" locale -- probably any Spanish would do, though).
Presumeably, like most free software apps, it will have been internationalized with Gnu gettext? So there should be a source for a Castillian .po locale file somewhere?
Virus action configuration
Right click clamwin tray icon and select "configure clamwin". A dialog box appears where u can select remove, report or quarantine the virus.
Boo on Norton's
I have been running Norton for the past year and updating my definitions on a regular basis. I have an older laptop with about 198 Mb Ram and an 800 MHZ Processor, It had really started to slowdown and drag especially when booting up. I did am "MSCONFIG" and removed many of the startup programs it helped a little but got worst over time. I downloaded clamwin and removed Norton from my startup, It was scary how fast it booted up. I scanned my computer with clamwin and found 5 infected items that Norton had not recognized and I had just done a full scan about a week ago. The only drawback I see with Clam win is that it does scan a little slow but Norton's was not extremely fast, as a write posted early I will just scan while I am sleep.
One up for ClamWin!
ClamWin found the following virus. avast! didn't.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\e1.dll: Worm.Stration.XL-6 FOUND
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ipv6rasm.dll: Worm.Stration.XL-5 FOUND
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ipv6rasm.exe: Worm.Stration.XL-4 FOUND

C:\WINDOWS\system32\tlntqedw.dll: Worm.Stration.XL-1 FOUND
C:\WINDOWS\system32\vdieasyc.exe: Worm.Stration.XL FOUND
clamwin found this virus
but CA etrust cannot find it
Free For Commercial Use, As Well. Thank you!
One fellow made the comment that Avast for home use was free and had 7 scanners. That may be true, but ClamWin is the only anti-virus I've seen, so far, that is also free for commercial use. I need a free anti-virus for a very small business, and I am very thankful that ClamWin is available. Thank you very much!
Being a huge Open Source fan,I am pleased with calmwin.
Lacking realtime scanning is no problem cuz this is an O.S App.Developers all over the world are invited and compeled to help improve,fix,and add features all the time.
I think RTS is comming,just waiting a few months
Another convert
I used to have AVG Free 7.5 installed on my PC, but I was convinced that I had a trojan of some description on my PC; my processor utilisation did not add up to 100% and I could not boot off my recovery disk to do a fresh install of Windows. I tried to install Trend Micro's housecall, but the installation failed.
I eventually managed to install WinClam and found 67 viruses on my computer (most of them quarantined in my spam folder, but one in Windows/System32). I quarantined these and then scanned them with AVG. It missed them again.
While I appreciate that no antivirus is foolproof, I'll stick with WinClam for now.
Thinking of switching
My current antivirus software is mcafee and I am wondering if switching to clamwin would be a good idea. Oh and does clamwin also remove spyware? PLEASE TELL ME.
Yes but...
A warning for future queries you might make: many people on the net will not like being asked questions that have answers that are so easy to obtain using google. Ask google first. It would have taken less time to ask google than posting your comment. This search, for example, answers your question immediately.
Also, the clamwin website would have been a good place to start too.
Well done...!
Well done to the clamav team...i think we as users could make the software great by all making a small donation ($1) per user and we will find that the next release of clam will be far more superior to the current release. Thanks guys great product!!!
my clamwin
says its out of date and i have the latest version i use avast also and avast and norton and most antivirus software dont mix but it loves clamwin and microsoft says to use more than one antivirus program
The reason I use ClamWin and
The reason I use ClamWin and like it best now is because it does NOT have a realtime scanning component. I like max system performance, and use a safer web browser that prevents bad stuff already. So ClamWin is the best if not only free alternative that is ONLY an ondemand scanner. If they do add realtime someday, I hope it is a completely seperate version.
I'm more then a average computer user as I have been building
them for almost 25 years. Over the years I have used about every virus scanner available and too many to mention all of them here. Norton & McAfee are bloated resource HOGS. They will slow your system down on boot and if your on dial up downloaded updates take forever. If you think Clam win is
slow, count all your boot time and updates for just the two
main lines and you will find out you are way ahead. Disregarding how long you wait for other programs to load
because they have grabbed all your overhead available ram.
How many times have you also had to reboot because of a program lock up when trying to run it with Norton or McAfee
installed. I pick on just them as they are the most likely to be purchased (DUE TO NET & COMMERCIAL ADVERTISEMENT HYPE) but other background scanners that run with your system result in the same truth! My opinion is AVOID THEM & THE
HYPE! I use scan on demand for this very reason. I think
all virus scanners should be this way. Now, don't get me
wrong. They are GOOD products and work well for people who know NOTHING MUCH about computers. Reason being they don't have to worry about updating as its automatic and protection
is automatic. You just pay for non-ability to do the updates and scanning yourself. I have tested Clam win against the
top 10 scanners and have found that Clam rates as high or high then they do. Encryption, Root Kit Virus and Trojans are the new wave. They are very hard to detect by ANY virus scanner. Due to the encryption methods and placement used.
Something to remember however about Clam win even though
it's a better then average scanner. It says it has Outlook
integration. This is ONLY for the Outlook that comes with
Micro$oft Office. Outlook Express is NOT supported yet. I have written Clam to ask them why they decided to support
Outlook and not Outlook Express which most Windows users are going to only have Express as a mail client. (Didn't Understand That One. That's Like Building A Car That Only
People With Freckles Can Drive?) Anyway, best way to handle
mail virus is to NOT POP (download) messages from your ISP
or mail service. Go to the service and review your mail online. Don't download it to your computer when you have no idea whats in it. Thats like opening the door and invite
someone in before finding out who they are and the intent.
I've been using Clam win for years and it's proven to be a
brick wall.
This is the way to turn your system back to it's original
operation with no LAG and still have all the protection you
you would get with the HOG's! Hope this helps you recover
the pleasure of operation you deserve. Enjoy!

Marketplace: MIT Business Plan Competition
This lesson printed from:
Entrepreneurs must take many steps to start up their own businesses. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) sponsors a competition that takes two new entrepreneurs through these steps. In this lesson you will learn how entrepreneurs develop a business plan; you will also learn about potential risks and profits involved in starting a business.
In this lesson, you will listen to an audio file about MIT's Business Plan Competition. While listening, you will use an interactive note-taker to record supporting details about three of the story's main ideas. Then, using your notes, you will answer questions related to the story.
Activity 1
Listen to the Marketplace audio file about MIT's Business Plan Competition marketplace.publicradio.org/shows/2002/05/16_mpp.html. Play from 13:51 through 17:40.
While you are listening, use the Note-Taker to record supporting details about three main ideas. These are the three main ideas you will focus on today:
- Competition Structure
- Ancora Pharmaceuticals' Structure and Business Plan
- Questions Asked by Judges and Venture Capitalists
As you listen to the segment, record any words you don't know or words that may be important economic terms.
Then listen to the audio file (from 13:51 to 17:40) again to gather additional supporting details and possible definitions of the vocabulary words, using context clues, and record the details and definitions in your note-taker.
Finally, you will be asked a series of questions related to the story.
Activity 2
Visit the U.S. Small Business Administration's Teen Business Link to learn some of the key elements entrepreneurs must consider when planning to start a new business.
Make a list of the four core questions a business plan must answer; then listen to find out whether the MIT students were asked or were able to answer those questions.
By the conclusion of this lesson you should be able to identify at least three main elements of Ancora Pharmaceuticals' business plan that helped Ancora win the competition. You should also be able to identify risks and rewards that entrepreneurs face. Share your ideas with your classmates in a brief discussion.
1. Turn in your note-taker. Your work should reflect an understanding of the risks and benefits that entrepreneurs must consider when starting up a business.
2. Listen to the audio file (from 13:51 to 17:40) again and discuss the following questions with classmates:
- What are the main components that a business plan must address in order to be successful?
- What was it about the Ancora Pharmaceuticals' business plan that made it attractive?
- What risks will the entrepreneurs face when starting Ancora Pharmaceuticals?
- How do entrepreneurs contribute to a market system?
- Why are entrepreneurs vital in keeping innovation going?
THINK ABOUT IT: What do you think motivates entrepreneurs?
Learn more about what it's like to be an entrepreneur by completing the following two lessons:
'Business Ownership: How Sweet It Can Be!'
'The Entrepreneur In You'
Use the Internet to look for business information about Ancora Pharmaceuticals. The winners of the competition stated that they would open their business in the summer of 2002. Did they find investors? Have they continued the business successfully?

Hm, which to choose: a perfect, sweet, warm churro, or Christine?
There's an unmistakable look that any dastardly young man with a belle under his shoulder can attest to. Once the initial magic wears, once the fireworks wane, and once the reality of life sets in, amazingly it all gets better. Sure there are ways in which the plucky affection of two lovers garners both envy and admiration from the cynical and the wise, but as time goes on, two people learn from each other on a different level.
For Christine and I, it's this battle of what I eat. Nearly every day at about 1:26PM, after I've had a nice long lunch of something steaming hot, delicious, and probably unhealthy, I must report what I ate to Christine. Like clockwork she asks, not because she's annoying. Hardly - I ask her to be my accountability partner in this race to get me healthy once more. My BMI is scientifically, quantitatively within an unreasonable range. I will have to lose more pounds than my fingers and toes combined to get me close to where my doctor stops being concerned. After lunch, I sometimes resign to have eaten a cupcake or a cookie.
There's a problem with my palate, longing, an itch. After a slew of savory, tastes that whet the appetite, and settle it like a soothing hug, something very subtle clicks in my mind.
Sweet, luscious cake, cookie, yogurt, ice cream, nuts, candy, gum. No, I'm not Lamar Odom, whose sugary intermissions pepper every hour of the day (he purportedly wakes up in the middle of the night, downs some candy, and heads back to sleep). I just need something to tie it all together, to take off that last pucker and twinge that something salty affects upon your tongue. There's something so unsatisfactory about leaving a restaurant or finishing a meal without something so wonderfully sweet.
Italians and Koreans and Chinese know the drill, even at the most basic level. A tiny piece of cake, perhaps a biscotti, or a sugared shot of espresso. Asians love to end with a ripe, juicy piece of fruit whose bright complexion is as alluring as pretty gems. Then there's that hunch, that quest for even more sweet delight. I recall our meal at the French Laundry having a minimum of 15 different sweet devices to taper off the excellent meal. Even a substandard meal at the clubified Minx in Glendale (mere steps from my abode) afforded a trio of stellar desserts thanks to their pastry consultant (whose European name eludes me).
If any bakery that holds sweet pastries passes me after a meal, you will be sure that I will not only peer lustfully at the beautiful puffs of dough and glaze, I will follow my nose.
Then, the look. Near disappointment, I almost apologize. I most often fail.
I conceded today after our meal of burrito bowls at Fiona's apartment. She just HAD to remind us that she had pints of roasted corn and black truffle & maple from Scoops. Then, the look. I felt bad as I asked for simply one large spoonful of achingly delicious black truffle ice cream, containing a flavor that is too awesome for words. I savored it and let it quell the pangs of saccharine coming somewhere from inside.
It's so good, but is it worth continuing to disappoint the love of my life? They never said it was easy, or that there wasn't a cost to relationships. Of course, in retrospect it's all foolish. I'll just have to settle for the sweet toothpaste before heading to bed. At least I'll save on the dental bills, because in the end I still get the sweetest thing I could ask for: my love, my jujube.

I laughed out LOUD when I saw the first pic and nearly died by the end of the post. of course, u don't need to choose, dear.
u can have both but like u wrote, "A tiny piece of cake, perhaps a biscotti, or a sugared shot of espresso. Asians love to end with a ripe, juicy piece of fruit"...its just a little something to finish the meal. problem comes when dessert turns out to be all the above and a whole another food marathon on its own..lol
p.s. I love u

Matt, moderation is key man. That one scoop of Scoops ice cream was an example of that. I, on the other hand finished half a pint last night =X
You can't let your dessert brother down, so we will work out and share the dessert! Right Choisauce?? =P

Lamar Odom has the right idea. Then again. He's also a professional athlete and probably burns 3000 calories per day. Nice post.

- H. C. said...
everyone knows desserts are my pitfalls too; but on top of moderation, as others noted, I've learned to be picky about what sweets I eat too ~ I learned to pass on mass-produced, sysco-distributed desserts to make room for the truly unique and delicious.
But hey, you and your fam are definitely taking great positive steps, saw your tweets about the Rose Bowl lap. Keep it up!

- mattatouille said...
choisauce, i love you too!
danny, you know we'll always terrorize bakeries and dessert shops together :)
weezermonkey, no shame in gaining a bit. I lost track of mine..
tammy, i'm glad you like it :)
tricerapops, yes, definitely cute. I was feeling it last night for some reason.
Josh, i'm sure lamar odom burns like 8,000 calories on game days. i bet he'll gain weight during the summer though, especially after he lands another contract from the lakers
HC, moderation...it's a tough thing, you know.
- 4:41 PM, June 16, 2009
- Food, she thought. said...
Christine is a warm, sweet churro!
That said, food blogging has not done my figure any favors. And I do not even care for sweets. Working out regularly while bringing my lunch to work daily is my answer this summer. Hopefully I will end up feeling better than when the summer started.
However, I always think of you as tall and slim. Just saying.

Hurricane Sandy saddened many here on the West Coast. But one caring girl decided to do something about it.
Sarah Stell, a seventh-grader at Edna Hill Middle, was shocked by the photos of the damage: homes washed away, sand-covered streets, flooded subways. Her mother, Chris, said after days of seeing the tragic images, Sarah decided, "I want to do something to help."
And help, she did.
There was talk of sending blankets and warm hats, but ultimately Sarah decided a money collection was the best option.
The Brentwood 12-year-old took her idea for the drive to Principal Kirsten Jobb.
Jobb thought, "What a generous idea, and what an amazing young lady.
"I stood in awe of a young person thinking of others, and beyond herself."
Sarah explained her idea during morning announcements, speaking "from her heart," Jobb said.
Within a week, Sarah was knee deep counting coins upon coins.
The grand total was $450, which was sent to the Rotary Club of Staten Island. Sarah felt that area had been neglected.
Sarah's drive started a bit of a chain reaction at the Brentwood school, with theater director Bart Schneider and the Edna Hill Parents' Club joining forces to donate concession proceeds from "The Little Mermaid" production. They gave more than $800 to the American Red Cross.
This isn't Sarah's first time in the giving arena. Mom Chris said as a member of the Brentwood 4-H, Sarah has been in charge of some food drives.
"However, she came up with this idea all on her own and ran with it."
Naturally, parents and principal are proud of Sarah's thoughtful efforts.
"She's always been very caring and willing to help others when needed," Chris Stell said.
Sarah was thrilled at the total, and grateful for her school's support.
"She is incredible," Jobb said about Sarah.
For more information, call 925-513-6440.
THE ROYAL TREATMENT: Nearly 100 people turned out for a recent audition for the next Heritage High stage production.
While the Brentwood school has earned a reputation for great theater, this round had a special vibe.
The spring musical is "We Will Rock You," which was written by the classic rock group Queen.
Heritage was selected by Queen's management team to be the "first (and, currently, only) high school in the U.S. granted the right to produce and perform the outstanding West End musical," teacher Hillary Pedrotti said. "This is an absolute thrill for us."
Chris Fallows, the school's director, said: "(The students) raised their game from last year. We had so many strong performers, we had to try to get as many as possible into the cast."
Nearly 60 cast members -- the most Heritage has ever had -- will hit the stage in spring. Leading the way will be Zinah Abraha as Scaramouche and Jaeda Smith as the Killer Queen. Folks lucky enough to have seen the award-winning show "Hairspray" last year will recognize this talented pair. They played Tracy Turnbald and Motormouth, respectively.
The other five "Rock" leads (making their musical debut) are Zach Elsasser (Galileo), Alex Finlez (Brit), Blake Jensen (Pop), Madeline Bustos (Meatloaf), and Ryan Stubo (Khashoggi).
With so many strong auditions, Fallows said it was "Exciting because we had so many people from which to choose," adding that it was taxing because they had to choose from among a large group of "really great performers."
"The end result is something of an all-star cast that I think will rock."
The director and cast are particularly excited about the music of Queen. "It will be amazing," Fallows said. "You can feel the buzz when the kids talk about it."
The show runs in early March; tickets go on sale in January. Like "Hairspray," "We Will Rock You" is expected to sell out, but perhaps even more quickly. For more information, call 925-634-0037.
SUPER STAGING: Deer Valley's Thespian Club recently took the challenge of only having one day to go from start to stage.
Aptly titled, the "24-Hour Play" had students split into groups and received a starter subject. Within 24 hours, the actors had to write, direct, gather props and costumes and perform in the Antioch school's theater.
This challenging event is held twice a year.
This time about 40 students jumped into the fray, offering drama and comedy with teacher Robert Richardson on hand for guidance. Criteria included a running time of 10- to 20-minutes while keeping their audience in mind.
"But, mostly, be creative and have fun with this," Richardson advised.
The topic starters were: "Ineloquently ice fishing at the end of the Universe," "Queen Elizabeth in a Freudian slip," "Michael Jackson dangling his child off the balcony," "How many opposing ideas can the human brain hold?" "Dancing in the moonlight reflected from a hubcap" and "How far East can you go before it is West?"
For more information on the 24-Hour Play, call 925-776-5555, ext. 7442.

Sorry that the site has been down for a few months. I lost my credit card while I was out for a run. Since my web host had my old email address, they were unable to notify me. I didn't find out about the problem until last week when I tried to visit the site and found that it was no longer working! My bad. At least I have it back up and running before high suummer hiking season.
I am still hoping to find time to get a major update to the site in place. In the mean time, please use the Disqus message boards on each trail page to send suggestions. Thank you for visiting!

Hi Guys,
I did post this massage in the other renderers forum, but I think it is better in this part of the forum, sorry for the double post.
I have a new Philips 47PFL-8404H (settings as described for Philips TV's in this viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3507&start=30#p18424,by carl123).
I installed the PMS 1.11.400, I could see the mediaserver on my TV
I was able to view a movie with the .iso extension (not in the folder #transcode#). Audio was out of sync, so I installed an update from the forum here that should fix the problem.
As off that moment I can't play any movies anymore (when I try the #transcode# folder also nothing).
I uninstalled PMS, deleted the folder, restarted my pc (winXP).
Re-installed PMS but that movie won't play anymore. The #trancode# buffer will not start to fill either.
I tried different versions of PMS, nothing will work anymore.
Anyone any idea, it did work!
Can anyone point me in the right direction , please help!

Three conservationists win McBride award
Published: Sunday, May 19, 2013 at 7:01 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, May 19, 2013 at 7:01 p.m.
Growing up, Owen Taylor and his two brothers spent countless hours exploring in the forested East Fork headwaters owned by their father, Charles Taylor.
"We learned to read animal tracks and how to avoid poison ivy," Taylor recalled this week. "We would often explore the logging roads and occasionally hunt and fish on the property. There is a waterfall named after the three boys, and it always felt like a wilderness area, with lots of wildlife and plants that you normally wouldn't see in the nearby Pisgah National Forest."
Taylor called the recent acquisition of 1,300 acres toward a future state forest in the East Fork headwaters "an important milestone," adding he looks forward to bringing his own son back from their home in Charlotte to see the progress as Headwaters State Forest comes together.
At its annual banquet Sunday, the Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy named the Taylor family, Dick Ludington of the Conservation Fund and N.C. Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler as winners of the group's 2013 Lela McBride Award for their efforts to protect the East Fork headwaters.
Owen Taylor accepted the award on behalf of his family. Ludington, the former state director of The Conservation Fund, was honored for his role in purchasing the first, 486-acre section of the property. Troxler was lauded for his efforts to direct about $800,000 in funding toward the project from a state legal settlement with the Tennessee Valley Authority.
The award's namesake, Lela McBride, was a community leader and conservationist who enabled the completion of Henderson County's first Natural Heritage inventory. McBride subsequently created the county's Natural Heritage Trust, which eventually grew to become CMLC.
CMLC conserves land and water resources that benefit the quality of life for residents and visitors in Henderson, Transylvania and surrounding counties. Since 1994, the land trust has protected more than 23,000 acres of mountain land. For more information, visit www.carolinamountains.org.
