Hello Samba people !
Thanks to the great docs available, I was able to setup samba as a PDC in
a few hours. Everything works as I wish, except one thing. As security is
not really a matter in my case, I would like every domain user to be able
to install programs on every domain machine. As I understood, this can be
achieved by adding every domain user in the "Domain Admins" group. Am I
right ? Is there a better way to do this ?
Anyway, after reading groupmapping.html from the howto-collection, I did
net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=smbadm
eos:~# grep smbadm /etc/group
eos:~# net groupmap list
System Operators (S-1-5-32-549) -> -1
Replicators (S-1-5-32-552) -> -1
Guests (S-1-5-32-546) -> -1
Domain Admins (S-1-5-21-3749086184-651259868-1278831297-3007) -> smbadm
Domain Admins (S-1-5-21-3749086184-651259868-1278831297-512) -> -1
Domain Guests (S-1-5-21-3749086184-651259868-1278831297-514) -> -1
Domain Users (S-1-5-21-3749086184-651259868-1278831297-513) -> -1
Power Users (S-1-5-32-547) -> -1
Print Operators (S-1-5-32-550) -> -1
Administrators (S-1-5-32-544) -> -1
Account Operators (S-1-5-32-548) -> -1
Backup Operators (S-1-5-32-551) -> -1
Users (S-1-5-32-545) -> -1
But it doesn't seem to work. I notice I now have 2 "Domain Admins" groups.
Maybe that is wrong ? I am not using winbind, as I understood it shouldn't
be mandatory in my case.
By the way, not being very "fluent" in windows, how can I check if the
domain-user "toto" is member of one or another domain-group under winxp ?
Any help or advice greatly appreciated !
PS: here are the relevant parts on my smb.conf file:

CIMB Confirms Purchase of RBS's Asia Equity Arm
By Jason Ng
CIMB Group Holdings Bhd, Malaysia's second largest bank by assets, said Monday it has acquired most of Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC's cash equities and associated investment banking businesses in Asia Pacific for £173.9 million (US$279 million).
The acquisition will give CIMB Group new presence in Taiwan and Australia as well as enlarged operations in Hong Kong, India and China, CIMB Group said in a statement.
"This is an excellent opportunity to complete the build-up of our capabilities in Asia Pacific markets and to do it quicker and less expensive than if we grew organically," said CIMB Group Chief Executive Nazir Razak.

Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post
Update on using Chenille...
May the knitting gods strike me DEAD if I
pick this stuff up again!!!
I am in TOTAL FRUSTRATION MODE.
I made it through the first scarf semi-OK. Only a few (if I remember correctly...it was back in the summer yet!) frog pond episodes.
This one, however, is REALLY getting my goat. I think I've ripped about 6 or 8 times by now...varying inches...enough so that I've tried starting again with the second ball cause the first one's first couple yards are looking twisty.
Tried doing the technique of alternating size 13 & size 35 needle. Don't do it with this stuff...worked OK on a merino wool combined with Berrocco Softy, but NOT this. The edges were just too wonky. Now I'm trying a small tube and planned on doing the "magic scarf" routine. Actually swatched it & thought it'd work out. OK, so started out for real and it's lookin pretty good (having taught myself magic loop with the help of the video here) when about 6 or 8 inches into it, I notice 2 horrible worms at the bottom sticking out about 2" each. I cannot abide this (perfectionist that I am), so I frog AGAIN! Now I'm trying 2 circulars, I cast on, do one row & I've got to frog AGAIN. Woe is me. Making a lousy scarf SHOULD NOT be this frustrating!!!!!
P.S. I WILL make this work! I WILL
use chenille again.

Commenters, friends, and the Gawker.TV crew socialized the night away at The Blue Seats, a sports bar with huge flatscreen TVs in every direction. Here are the photos to prove it.
All photos were shot by the lovely and talented Diana Levine.
The well-dressed Cassie Seale, Sergio Hernandez, and Adam Estes.
Dodai Stewart and her friend smile pretty for the camera. It always begins innocently enough...
Happy, sober people discussing some fantastic ideas.
Lucky for us, The Cajun Boy dropped by!
Some people just can't distance themselves from technology.
Etan Berkowitz thinks that something's funny.
Stuck between two dapper gents: Anderson Evans and Chris Crowl.
Liz Boulduc and Tara Atkinson are up in arms about something!
Krutika Mallikarjuna and her friend will most definitely rough you up.
Richard Blakeley's telling Devon Irete and Nick Rizzo about something that's clearly epic.
Frank Cozzarelli is wondering the same thing we are... hands above the table, Toder!
It's nice to see Kirk Larsen not editing anything for once.
Hey everybody, Yoni's here!
All the attractive girls in the area made their way to our party.
These folks are just trying to not look out of place at a sports bar.
Lindsay Kaplan and Max Gross talk serious business.
Jill Lawson, Adrian Muniz, and Mike Jordan intently discuss the basketball games surrounding them.
A part of the waitstaff pretends like she doesn't hate us all and smiles alongside Yoni Lotan, Kirk Larsen, and David Matthews.
We don't know, either.
Then Katie Fahrenthold and Anna Edwards showed up and made all the girls in the bar envious of their adorable ensembles.
Let's just say there was a lot of clapping going on.
And slow dancing by Melissa Noble and "her gay."
This guy bought a "book" off a crazy dude on the street. As it turned out, it was probably the best two dollars he would ever spend.
And all of the cool kids stayed outside smoking cigarettes. The End.

SIKESTON -- The Child Development Center at Southeast Missouri State University-Sikeston is expected to receive a state grant to expand its services.
Gov. Matt Blunt recently announced 17 recipients of the 2008-2009 Missouri Preschool Project grants which totaled $1.6 million.
Of that, the Sikeston center is expected to receive $130,000 to add an additional classroom for 3- to 5-year-olds, which will increase its licensing by 20 students. Currently, the center is licensed for 36 children and has a registration waiting list.
"We were hoping to get the grant. We had been waiting and were excited to hear the news," said Tracie Smith, director of the Center in Sikeston.
Since the Center opened in February 2006 infants and toddlers have shared one classroom . With the grant funding, Smith said the hope is to have an infant class and a toddler class.
The SEMO-Sikeston center serves children ages 6 weeks to 5 years.
"Everything is hands-on. We don't sit at table," Smith said.
Besides Smith, the staff includes three lead teachers, an assistant teacher, a cook, an administrative assistant and college students working on their degrees.
"Our lead teachers have college degrees," Smith said. "We are also a school lab for SEMO students getting into child development and early childhood education so we have a higher teacher ratio because we have all those extra students in the classroom."
Most of the children who attend the center are from Sikeston, however, it's open to children who live in the surrounding communities, Smith said.
"We still get calls because people don't know we're here. But we are here, and it's for the community. It's a first-come, first-serve opportunity," Smith said.
Two other local preschools awarded grants were TLC Preschool in Chaffee for $90,300 and Kiddie Kountry Preschool and Childcare in Scott City for $95,000. Both of these Missouri-accredited centers will use the funds to expand their services.
"The grants are still subject to approval by our (state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education) commissioner," said Sheila Hirsch, supervisor of DESE's Early Childhood Education, adding paperwork was sent to the commissioner's office.
The Missouri Preschool Project, which is overseen by Early Childhood Education, is a competitively awarded program, Hirsch said, adding 55 applications were received.
"Usually the application process is opened in March, and we have a panel that reads the applications, and grants are awarded typically in July," Hirsch said.
Missouri Preschool Project grants are awarded to those centers serving children who are one or two years away from attending kindergarten, Hirsch said. There are specific requirements, she said.
Take for instance the teacher qualifications. Lead teachers must either be certified as a teacher in early childhood education or special education or have a four-year degree in child development, Hirsch said.
"If the center serves more than 10 children, they must have a teacher's assistant, and there are qualifications for that. They must use a specific curriculum. There are three research-based approved curriculums they can choose from," Hirsch said.
There's also a component to the grant where a portion of funds can be used for professional development in a center such as curriculum training, college coursework and for a center to become accredited, Hirsch said.
Since it was established in 1998, the MMP grant program has assisted more than 350 projects. More than 4,600 preschoolers are now being served by programs that receive support through these state grants.
Meanwhile, expansion work for the Sikeston center's classroom will begin soon, Smith said, adding currently, an outdoor nature classroom for the preschool students is being constructed through funding provided by another grant.
Both the outdoor nature classroom and 3- to 5-year-old classroom should be completed by Nov. 1, Smith said. Also staff members will begin the process for the Center to receive accreditation, she said.
"We just hope the Sikeston community knows the Center's not just for (children of SEMO students)," Smith said. "It's for the community."
For more information about SEMO-Sikeston's Child Care Center, call telephone number 481-9724.

the creativity of students, staff, faculty and alumni of Dalhousie
and King's College, in painting, graphic art, photography,
mixed media, video, sculpture and crafts welcomes your artwork for
this exhibition, which makes no distinction between amateurs and
professionals. Up to 3 entries per person will be accepted during
regular Gallery hours, between 4 and 23 November. Pick up your entry
form after mid-October at the Gallery's front desk. Let's

28 November to 21 December
Opening reception: Thursday, 27 November 8 pm
This small exhibition of works by Nova Scotian photographer Paul
Doucette has been selected as part of our 50th Anniversary celebratory
programming. Doucette's elegant black and white prints draw
attention to architectural features of the Dalhousie campus that
many of us pass by daily with hardly a glance. Through the subtle
use of light, close-ups and cropping, Doucette creates formally
beautiful images that encourage us to contemplate familiar views
as if for the first time.

The phrase Search and Rescue conjures notions of salvage, of being
adrift or temporarily lost, of effort in the face of unknown difficulties.
These installations, video and performance works by (mostly) recent
graduates from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design reflect
an aesthetic attitude that rejects permanence and the heroic artistic
gesture in favour of the immediate, provisional and personal. Most
of the artists have claimed and altered the typically white, unadorned
spaces of the gallery using materials and methods associated with
movements such as Arte Povera and Fluxus - works may be constructed
out of found objects, scraps of paper or fabric, or everyday items
literally brought in from their homes. There is much gathering and
sorting (of materials, ideas, personae); there is marking and carving
of territory; there is also a certain yearning for the secret refuges
and daydreams of childhood; and, in the construction of identities,
histories, and relationships (fictional or true), there is both
audacity and vulnerability. Artists include Tashia Friesen, Andréa
Lalonde, Larissa Muzzy, Spencer Ramsay, Valerie Salez, and Grentak
(Greg Reynolds and C.A. Swintak). Curated by the basement collective.

In 1953, the year that the Dalhousie Art Gallery was officially
named, Abstract Expressionism was in full swing throughout North
America. 50 years later, despite perennial announcements of its
demise, painting has demonstrated the capacity to reinvent itself
again and again, and remains a force to be reckoned with in the
protean world of Post-Modernism. This exhibition presents paintings,
both figurative and abstract, produced by Canadian artists and acquired
for the Dalhousie Art Gallery's permanent collection during
the last 50 years. Works by artists of significance to this region,
in particular to Nova Scotia, take their place alongside artists
of national and international significance, among them paintings
by Jack Bush, John Clark, Cliff Eyland, Gerald Ferguson, Carol Fraser,
Alfred Pellan, William Perehudoff, Christopher Pratt, Susan Scott,
Ron Shuebrook, Monica Tap.
Animal and human spirits frequently intermingle in the Inuit world
view, where material appearance can dissolve and change in an instant
into the manifestation of a spiritual being. The Gallery's
small but well-focused Inuit art collection of sculptures and prints
has been acquired largely through gifts from Dalhousie alumni and
friends. Notable among these works are a delightful greenstone bear
by Pauta Saila (who is renowned for dancing bears), Towkee Maniapik's
Spirit, carved from a ale vertebra, Kenojouak's striking stonecut
print Blue Owl,and the rugged and monumental grey soapstone sculpture
Mother and Child by John Kavik.

Curator Jim McSwain writes that the late Wendy Geller's video
work "encompasses a voice and structure that strips away the
habits and politeness that shield us from the forces of nature,
and the hierarchies of power that suffuse western society. In her
humorous satire, her feminist sensibility revels in critiquing Freudian
psychoanalysis as well as the role(s) of actresses within the Hollywood
star system. However, Geller's voice finds its most multilayered
synthesis in her series Stories for the Garden. In these
pieces, her anxiety concerning the body is articulated through the
dread and ecstasy of nature's consuming cycle of birth and death,
as she constructs an allegorical journey that wins through to a
fragile wisdom. These themes, sometimes raw, at times lyrical, connect
the viewer to an artist whose creative energy sought to illuminate
the human condition. "
This exhibition is organized by the Centre for Art Tapes in collaboration
with Dalhousie Art Gallery; the catalogue includes an essay by Dr.
Jayne Wark. (New Media Gallery)

23 May to 6 July
opening reception: Thursday, 22 May, 8 pm.
The great, late-eighteenth-century Spanish artist Francisco de
Goya y Lucientes is famous for his court portraits and his monumental
print series The Disasters of War. Less well-known, and created
towards the end of the artist's turbulent life, Los Proverbios
is Goya's most ambiguous series of etchings and aquatints,
presenting the human condition as a series of "disparates"
or follies. No-one escapes the artist's ironic gaze —
not the church, the gentry, the military, the poor — victim
and victimizer alike are scrutinized in eighteen compelling vignettes.
The bold, highly contrasting pictorial structure of these prints
(often dark, massive figures looming in the foreground against minimal
background information) echoes and intensifies Goya's stark
view of his subject-matter. Yet, despite their clarity of form and
vision, these images are the most diffcult of all Goya's works
to interpret in a socio-political sense, and have prompted much
discussion as to their intended meanings. The works have been loaned
from the permanent collection of the Art Gallery of Ontario (gift
of the Robert Tanenbaum Family Trust 1999). The texts accompanying
the exhibition are in Spanish, French and English. (Scrymgeour Gallery)
Double entendres, contradictions, twins, paradoxes, mirrorings
— any instance of knowledge or expression can conjure a parallel
or opposite: on the one hand this, on the other that. Without contrast,
visual form loses much of its point and pleasure, and qualitative
measurements lose their meaning. While religious or socio-political
conflicts are seldom truly reconcilable, dialectical argument challenges
our deep convictions and refines our thinking. The works in this
exhibition represent dualities either in physical fact (they are
actual pairs) or in their dialectical content — or both.
Curator Susan Gibson Garvey has selected sculpture, painting, prints,
photography, fibre and mixed media works by Canadian artists Abraham
Anghik, Ned Bear, Bruce Campbell, Lyn Carter, John Clark, Marlene
Creates, Nancy Edell, Art Green, John Greer, Gerald Ferguson, Alex
Livingston, Guy Montpetit, Richard Mueller, and Marina Stewart from
the Gallery's permanent collection. Often in a state of oscillation
or tension, these works invite us to consider the idea of duality
on many levels, from the purely visual to the social and political.

Curator Stuart Horodner wrote that the exhibition Walk Ways
"brings together a selection of works by a diverse group of
artists who have focused on the theme of walking, a purposeful or
meandering activity that unites bodily and mental freedom. Walking
in cities may be understood in sociopolitical terms, with references
to tourism, commuting, surveillance or the Situationist dérive
(a mode of attentive city walking). In the rural environment, the
focus shifts to explorations of leisure, pilgrimage and interactions
with nature..." Among the 17 internationally exhibiting artists
in this exhibition were Hamish Fulton, Janet Cardiff and George
Bures Miller, Mowray Baden, Francis Alÿs and Nancy Spero. The
works reflected the artists' hybrid sensibilities, combining drawing,
painting, photography, installation, video, performance and documentation.
Informed by their own physical experience, as well as by rich examples
from literature and art history, they focused on "the walk" as a
means of commenting on human agency, politics, geography and history.
This unusual touring exhibition was organized by Independent Curators
International (ICI), New York.
In conjunction with the exhibition Walk Ways, the familiar but
elusive Halifax artist Michael Fernandes presented two small installations,
Hannah and Sinatra, and a live performance, Writing
anywhere on anything, which was ongoing for the duration of
the exhibition.
17 January to 2 March 2003
Organized by the National Gallery of Canada, this exhibition surveyed
the printmaking work of prominent Canadian artist Betty Goodwin,
from her early figurative etchings and wood block prints, through
her well-known iconic vest series, to her latest printmaking experiments.
Throughout her career Goodwin has mixed traditional printing techniques
and materials with a variety of unconventional methods, often combining
several processes in one print. The resultant works include traces
of embossed objects, transparent "x-rayed" garments, or notes with
stamped text, collage and scraps of tape. The discarded objects
that Goodwin uses (pop cans, bits of twine, various articles of
clothing such as unpaired work gloves, shirts and hats) are transformed
into provocative images of displacement and loss. In the accompanying
fully-illustrated exhibition publication, curator Rosemarie Tovell
traces Goodwin's formative influences and provides a valuable catalogue
raisonné of her printmaking oeuvre.
an installation by Shelley Miller
24 January to 2 March 2003
Montreal-based artist Shelley Miller transformed the ceiling of
the New Media Gallery using hand-carved aluminum cake pans. Reminiscent
of traditional tin ceilings, this installation took on the appearance
of an ornate vaulted ceiling more common to a Romanesque cathedral.
For the last few years, Miller has been transforming everyday domestic
materials (especially culinary items) into elegant and often monumental
forms. Her installation also referenced home decorating trends where
consumers substitute hand-crafted ornamental architectural fixtures
with mass-produced imitations easily purchased at local home improvement
stores. Miller presented a slide talk about her work at the opening
reception for this exhibition.

I'm suggesting a course history listing. Chronological by install date, including both current and pulled courses.
I think TJ(?) had a pretty good start on this at one time, but I can't find it on his domain.
I really find it a fascinating bit of history. But maybe I'm a dork.
It's really a simple spreadsheet to throw together, and to maintain. Doesn't have to be anything fancy. Getting/remembering the old data is the tricky part.
The longer you wait, the more difficult it will be.

I was wondering if there is a way/plugin that can add/create multiple categories (incl. subcategories and description) in one go. I mean the admin panel works fine, but if you wanna add 100+ categories, a plugin would be handy.
I searched the database but I couldn't find anything. Do you got any suggestinos.

Music Feeds conducted an interview with THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN on Sunday, February 23 at the Sydney stop of this year's Soundwave festival in Australia. You can now watch the chat below.THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN's fifth full-length album, "One Of Us Is The Killer", sold around 15,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 25 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD was released on May 14 through the band's own Party Smasher Inc., in partnership with Sumerian Records in North America. Party Smasher's partnership with BMG covers the rest of the world, including licensing deals with Grind House for Japan and Remote Control in Australia. "One Of Us Is The Killer" was recorded in Southern California with longtime producer Steve Evetts (GLASSJAW, THE CURE, SUICIDE SILENCE), with additional production at guitarist/co-founder Ben Weinman's studio. Mastering was handled by Tom Baker (DEFTONES, NINE INCH NAILS, BEASTIE BOYS). In an interview with Killer Tours, Weinman stated about "One Of Us Is The Killer": "A lot of the inspiration for this record has to do with codependency. This band has a huge impact on everyone in our lives. The conflicts that occur from both being around the same people constantly and also being away from some people constantly makes you evaluate things in a way most people never could. A lot of our lyrical and musical content is a vessel for dealing with that."

The Ambitions of Modern Living
Blogged by James on 27th November 2013
Well, I don't know about modern living, but something has been keeping me busy these last few weeks and I'm not even sure what it was. Life just seems to have been a bit full lately and blogging is always at the bottom of the pile because, frankly, the wife and kiddies win evey time.
Meanwhile, Archbishop Vincent Nichols has been making some interesting comments..
"The Pope has led us to pay attention to the experiences of people," Archbishop Nichols told BBC Breakfast.
"On the one hand we must work to follow Christ, but on the other hand we have to face all of the ambitions of modern living."
On the one hand we must work to follow Christ, but on the other hand...
There is of course, nothing "modern" about ambition - in every age followers of Christ have had to choose between Christ and themselves.. Between the way of the cross and the way of personal ambition. The ambitions of the past might have been different but they were ambitions all the same.
It's like all the cartoons.. the little angel sits on one shoulder and somebody else sits on the other. On the one hand Christ, on the other hand... there is only one alternative. Anything opposed to Christ comes from the evil one.
There are people who will ignore the nose on their face and all it moderation. Look at James Preece getting carried away. What a nutter. Does he seriously think that an Archbishop could ever do anything.. wrong?
A couple of years ago when asked if the Church would change her teaching he said "Who knows what's down the road?" and now he's on BBC News telling us that his leadership of the Catholic Church in England and Wales is based around a compromise between Christ and ambition, between Christ and Satan.
You can write to Rome if you like but I think we're past that. The time has come to pray for the poor man's eternal soul. To quote James 3:1.. "Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, for you know that we who teach shall be judged with greater strictness."
Thank you Lord, that I do not have to be an Archbishop.

My father loved to smoke a pipe. He had some wonderful smelling tobacco he would put in it. My Mother did not like him to do this. This was long ago in another time.

Mark your calendars, Apple fans. The company will reveal its first expansion of the iPad line on October 23, as the long-rumored iPad Mini is set to be revealed.
Apple likes to keep its product lines simple, but it apparently saw too great of an opportunity in the smaller tablet form factor. After Amazon and Google have had success there with the Kindle Fire and Nexus 7, Cupertino is apparently ready to strike. This requires ignoring Steve Jobs' old quote that a 7-inch tablet would require sandpaper to sand users' fingers down.
As always, Apple teased journalists on the invitation artwork, using the phrase "We've got a little more to show you." The "little" apparently refers to a smaller iPad, but perhaps it could also allude to other products.
In addition to the iPad Mini (or iPad Air?), we may also see a 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro, a refreshed Mac Mini, and a variation of the 3rd gen. iPad with a lightning connector.
While waiting, you can recap our advice on what to expect from the iPad Mini. You can also check back at Gizmag for analysis of everything Apple announces next week.

Phil Spector Trial
Submitted by jim on Wed, 09/29/2004 - 10:03
Whatever happened to Phil Spector?
Whatever happened to Phil Spector?
AND so the trial of the year kicks off. "The actions of the Hitler-like DA and his storm trooper henchmen are reprehensible, unconscionable and despicable," Phil Spector told reporters on Monday night, after being charged with the murder of actress/bar hostess Lana Clarkson. Comparing your prosecuting district attorney to a mass-murdering dictator is quite an opening gambit. It is, one suspects, far from the most melodramatic thing we will hear before the verdict is reached.

A toothless woman from New Britain, Connecticut, has said that a new local medical facility that accepts patients without dental insurance has finally put a smile on her face.Brenda Lee Brown, who is employed at the Connecticut Veterinary Center in Berlin, told the Harford Courant, "I work with the public. I smile and they see I have no teeth, so I just laugh with them, because what else can you do?"However, because of the two full-time dentists who run the New Brite Plaza Family Dental, Brown expects to have new teeth in a matter of weeks.The dental center is unique in that it serves up to 350 patients per month, an unusually high number, and has treated almost 2,000 individuals in the 6 months since it opened, according to the news source."We opened our doors and the public embraced us," office manager Justin Marti told the Courant.Although the clinic aims to treat every patient that makes an appointment, the center is booked through February.Because facilities like New Brite are scarce, and many dentists elect to practice in small towns with private insurance, Americans in some underserved communities have turned to discount dental plans.For more information on discount dental plans call 1-888-632-5353

Where does nuclear waste go when nobody wants it anymore?
That's the perennial dilemma facing the folks at Savannah River Site who are spending decades - and billions of your dollars - to dispose of radioactive material generated by a half century of Cold War nuclear weapons production.
One of the newest options involves mammoth structures known as "saltstone disposal units," or SDUs. Each rectangular module holds two round containers with a joint capacity of about 5 million gallons.

Our Sunday story package on the Savannah River focused largely on the relationship between Georgia and South Carolina and how those states will jointly manage the 350-mile river and its resources.
As part of our reporting for that piece, we sent Gov. Nathan Deal a series of questions - and received detailed responses through his press secretary, Stephanie Mayfield.

Does history repeat itself?
A century and a half ago, South Carolina famously fired the first shots of the Civil War.
Earlier this week, the Palmetto State's Legislature launched what could become the opening salvo in a different sort of clash - over sharing the Savannah River with neighboring Georgia.

Ever wonder what happens to old nuclear bombs when no one needs them anymore?
It's way more complicated than parting out a '67 Chevy.
In the case of the B83, one of America's most potent thermonuclear weapons, some of those parts are coming to Savannah River Site.
We're just not sure how many. Or when. That's a tightly guarded secret.

Almost two decades ago, plans were made to carve a 110-acre fishing lake from the swampy wilderness on the low-lying portion of Yuchi Wildlife Management Area in Burke County.
The plan included docks, trails, parking areas and maintenance workers who would help manage the site just 20 miles south of Augusta. Surveyors marked the boundaries and timber was cut to accommodate the rising waters once the dam was built and sealed.

How likely are you to get a speeding ticket in Columbia County? It might depend on the time of year.
I wondered recently, after seeing several cars pulled over in a single day, whether our Sheriff's Office was ramping up enforcement and writing more citations - perhaps to generate needed revenues for cash-strapped government agencies.
I emailed Capt. Steve Morris up at the department's headquarters in Appling. He assured me there is no concerted crackdown. "Our efforts remain constant," he said.

Log on. Zoom in. Bang.
It sounds like something from a science fiction movie.
Creepy as the concept might be, someone actually built an Internet-controlled network of web-accessible cameras and shotguns aimed into a food plot on a Georgia Power Company right-of-way last fall.
A utility contractor encountered the setup, snapped a few photos and reported the odd apparatus to the Georgia Wildlife Resources Division, which in turn notified the U.S. Office of Homeland Security.

Does a massacre on Saturday equate to soaring gun sales on Monday?
If the FBI's figures on background checks for handgun buyers are any indication, it does - at least in some states.
In Arizona, where the Safeway shooting spree left six people dead and a Congresswoman and 11 others wounded, there were 263 such checks performed on Monday, showing a huge increase over the 164 checks a year earlier, on Monday, Jan. 11, 2010.

Dead birds are big news this week, from redwings raining down in Arkansas to whooping cranes in south Georgia to bald eagles at Thurmond Lake.
But is it a sign of the Apocalypse? Probably not.
If conspiracy theorists weren't fully abuzz after 5,000 blackbirds tumbled from the New Year's Eve skies over Beebe, Ark., they were in full frenzy when 500 more dropped dead a few days later near Baton Rouge, La.

The question we are asked most frequently is "What is Gestalt?" The German word gestalt means a complete pattern or configuration. A gestalt is a perceived whole. Gestalt theory is rooted in perceptual psychology, holism, and field and systems theory. Our faculty's approach to teaching and learning embodies key principles from these theoretical perspectives:
Growth. We believe that individuals or organizations can be healthy, adaptive, and conducive to growth. The Gestalt approach seeks to raise awareness of obstacles to growth and to find creative solutions which support harmony between the person or organization and the environment.
Experience. We work towards heightening the awareness of self, others, or the group through experiencing and experimenting with new behaviors.
Present. Attention to the present experience is often the starting point for discovering the self or organization and its blocks to growth. Past experience is honored; we believe history can be appreciated best as manifested in present behaviors, perceptions, interactions, and processes.
Person or Organization as a Whole. Our Gestalt model embraces the person, group, or organization as a dynamic integrated organism. As complex systems, the intellectual, emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of individuals are constantly working toward balance. Similarly, organizations are viewed as a whole entity with interactive parts. To focus on only one part of the individual or the organization lessens the potential for awareness, growth, and productivity.

A novel H.264/AVC watermarking method is proposed in this paper. By embedding the robust watermark into DCT domain and the fragile watermark into motion vectors respectively, the proposed method can jointly achieve both copyright protection and authentication. Our scheme outperforms other video watermarking schemes on higher watermarking capacity especially in lower compression bit-rates. Furthermore, being well aligned with Lagrangian optimization for mode choice featured in H.264/AVC, the proposed scheme only introduces small distortions into the video content. Experimental results also demonstrate that the proposed solution is very computationally efficient during watermark extraction.

Definition of oration in English:
1A formal speech, especially one given on a ceremonial occasion.
Example sentences
- They've done mock interviews, funeral orations, series of imagined letters from the famous person to a grandchild, or from an invented friend to the famous person.
- Despite their differences, the two men did not become enemies; they respected each other's research, and in 1832 Geoffroy gave one of the orations at Cuvier's funeral.
- I want to suggest that in the case of his funeral orations, Derrida writes from within a rhetorical tradition that sometimes includes meaning or signification in its persuasive aims.
informal spiel
rare allocution
1.1The style or manner in which a formal speech is given.
Example sentences
- It spirals from crisp oration into stream-of-consciousness babble and finally into gibberish.
- They were enraptured by Mr Durai's fiery oration.
- Leo McIntire then took over her mantle but his eloquent oration and superlatives went over the head of Brendan Bradley, who had to ask me what some of the big words meant.

The Rs boss has spoken openly about his need to bring in reinforcements during the January transfer window if Rangers are going to stave off relegation.
QPR, bottom of the Barclays Premier League and five points adrift of safety, have so far this month brought in Marseille forward Loic Remy and defender Tal Ben Haim.
Redknapp is attending a work permit hearing in the hope of pushing through a deal for Chunnam Dragons left-back Yun Suk-young, while he has admitted an interest in Crouch and Anzhi defender Samba.
"These are two players whose names have been mentioned but at the moment we're not close to doing anything," he told BBC Sport.
"Crouch's name came up in a meeting with the chairman but I don't think Stoke want to sell him. On Samba, again the chairman is dealing with this. At this stage I don't think that's a goer.
"I like Christopher Samba and he is a very good player but at this stage I don't see him leaving Russia. Things can change but at this stage we're not close to doing anything."
Samba moved to Russian side Anzhi last February, while Crouch had a spell at Loftus Road earlier in his career and previously played for Redknapp at Southampton, Portsmouth and Tottenham.

Man in custody after fatally stabbing his roommate at north Oak Cliff apartment
A man is in custody after fatally stabbing his roommate at their north Oak Cliff apartment complex early Sunday morning.
Dallas police responded to a call around 3:30 a.m. in the common area of an apartment complex in the 900 block of North Marsalis Avenue where they found Kevin Williams, 46, had been stabbed.
He was transported to Methodist Dallas Medical Center where he died of his injury.
Police arrested Williams's roommate Kenneth Davis, 36, inside the apartment they shared.
According to a police report Davis was found hiding in a closet inside the apartment covered in blood.
Police spoke with with several witnesses who said Williams and Davis had been arguing just prior to the stabbing.
According to a police report Williams and Davis had been living on and off together for about two years.
Davis admitted to police he had "slashed" Williams during the fight and that they had been fighting over their relationship, the police report states.
Davis is currently being held at a Dallas County jail.

The Return of the King
by J.R.R. Tolkien
The Return of the King The Home Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Book.Chapter.Paragraph).
Quote #4
It was as [Denethor] said; and Pippin soon found himself arrayed in strange garments, all of black and silver. He had a small hauberk, its rings forged of steel, maybe, yet black as jet; and a high-crowned helm with small raven-wings on either side, set with a silver star at the centre of the circlet. Above the mail was a short surcoat of black, but broidered on the breast in silver with the token of the Tree. His old clothes were folded and put away, but he was permitted to keep the grey cloak of Lórien, though not to wear it when on duty. He looked now, had he known, verily Ernil i Pheriannath, the Prince of the Halflings, that folk had called him; but he felt uncomfortable. And the gloom began to weigh on his spirits. (5.4.18)
Pippin's new uniform for his Tower service with Lord Denethor is like a strange challenge. Up until now, he has mostly maintained his Shire habits and even manners, as when Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli come upon Merry and Pippin smoking calmly among the ruins of Isengard (see The Two Towers Book 3, Chapters 8). But now, Pippin has been separated from everything that means home to him, even Merry. Even his own clothes. Now, he's in an unfamiliar uniform in a new city. He feels uncomfortable because the time has come for Pippin to shake things up, to start growing into his new double role as hobbit and Guardsman of Gondor. Of course, Pippin doesn't change too much—as Gandalf says, "hobbits have amazing powers of recovery" (The Two Towers 3.11.63).
Quote #5
But Éomer said: "Already you have raised the banner of the Kings and displayed the tokens of Elendil's House. How will you suffer these to be challenged?"
"No," said Aragorn. "But I deem the time unripe; and I have no mind for strife except with our Enemy and his servants."
And the Prince Imrahil said: "Your words, lord, are wise, if one who is a kinsman of the Lord Denethor may counsel you in this matter. He is strong-willed and proud, but old; and his mood has been strange since his son was stricken down. Yet I would not have you remain like a beggar at the door."
"Not a beggar," said Aragorn. "Say a captain of the Rangers, who are unused to cities and houses of stone." And he commanded that his banner should be furled; and he did off the Star of the North Kingdom and gave it to the keeping of the sons of Elrond. (5.8.30-3)
Yes! Finally Aragorn is where he belongs—Minas Tirith, right? Not so fast. He's sitting at the gates, waiting to smooth things over with Denethor before going in and claiming the throne of Gondor. (Little does he know that Denethor is, right at this very moment, setting himself on fire — it'll be tough to smooth things over with that guy.) But Aragorn is really stretching out the suspense here. The "return of the king" can't happen too soon, or else it would spoil the build-up. Plus, the fact that Aragorn has the prudence to wait until the time is a little less unripe shows that when he does come home to take the throne, he'll make some great decisions.
Quote #6
"There is some good stone-work here," [Gimli] said as he looked at the walls; "but also some that is less good, and the streets could be better contrived. When Aragorn comes into his own, I shall offer him the service of stonewrights of the Mountain and we will make this a town to be proud of."
"They need more gardens," said Legolas. "The houses are dead, and there is too little here that grows and is glad. If Aragorn comes into his own, the people of the Wood shall bring him birds that sing and trees that do not die." (5.9.4-5)
Yeah, yeah, Legolas loves the forest, and Gimli loves the stones of the earth. We get it. But what's so great about this scene is that we actually see just how much these two have in common. Both of them feel a bit out of place in Minas Tirith, because both belong to cultures and traditions that are passing away. Later Legolas comments, "The deeds of Men will outlast us, Gimli" (5.9.14). It's as if the two of them are representatives of endangered species. The fact that their stories get so little focus in The Return of the King, while the negotiations of men such as Aragorn, Éomer, Faramir, and Imrahil become more and more important to the plot of the series, demonstrates that men are slowly taking over the story from the elves and the dwarves. Poor Legolas and Gimli get left behind.

Male body type combining skinny, muscular and very low bodyfat with well defined abs. Used recently in fitness forums. Examples are Taylor Lautner, Brad Pitt. Suggested by many as the ideal male bodytype because it is not threatening to females like huge muscles.
I'm going to go ottermode this spring by working out and doing lots of cardio.

The Bouncing Souls
Eat punk rock, sleep punk rock - The Bouncing Souls walk it like they talk it. Officially starting out in 1987, when they started jamming at high school together, it was 1991 when things really began to take off for the New Jersey garage-punk four-piece. In the years since they have built up a massive and loyal fanbase and are now recognised as one of the biggest selling and longest running punk bands ever.

The Czochralski pulling process is the most valuable and cost efficient method for producing large oriented single crystals of the group IV and III-V semiconductors. However, there have been only a small number of reported attempts to use the Czochralski process for growing the wide bandgap compound semiconductors, needed for the room temperature operated gamma-ray detectors. The main difficulty is in the low chemical stability and high vapor pressure of the group II, V and VI elements, leading to off-stoichiometric composition, and various related defects. Among the heavy metal halides, indium iodide and indium bromide present an interesting exception. InI has a high molecular disassociation energy and a low vapor pressure, allowing for Czochralski pulling. We will describe the procedures used and the results obtained by Czochralski growth and characterization of indium iodide and the related ternary compounds that appear to be quite encouraging.

I study geomicrobiology, in particular the interactions between microbes and minerals. My research focuses on microbial mineralization, including characterizing mineral phase, morphology, and reactivity, as well as investigating the roles microbes play in precipitation and crystallization processes. I take a multidisciplinary approach, combining geochemical field characterization and sampling, molecular biology, biochemistry, culturing and a wide variety of microscopy and spectroscopy techniques.

|Two common infertility therapies have been branded "worthless" by a new study.
They may also cause unpleasant side-effects, the research by the department of obstetrics and gynaecology at the University of Aberdeen found.
The treatments in question are clomifene citrate, a drug which is supposed to correct ovary dysfunction, and intra-uterine insemination (IUI), where a semen sample is delivered straight into the womb.
Both are popular because they are recommended by the National Institute for Clinical Effectiveness (Nice) and are cheaper and less invasive than IVF, but neither has been tested in a major trial before now.

Definition of Damascus steel in English:
Damascus steel
noun[mass noun] historical
Steel given a wavy pattern by hammer-welding strips of steel and iron followed by repeated heating and forging, used chiefly for knife and sword blades. Such items were often marketed in Damascus during the medieval period.
Example sentences
- Forged from several types of steel including stainless, Damascus steel has been used to make superior knife blades for thousands of years.
- On the uptown models you're more likely to find the 3.5-inch blade done up in exquisitely patterned Damascus steel, and the knifemaker offers a wide range of exotic handle materials such as fossil mammoth ivory and pearl.
- While many of his peers buy their Damascus steel from artisans, Kirk forges his own and shapes it to perfection.

The "sword god" consists of a large sword blade, with for a handle a human torso. Instead of arms lion heads protrude at the shoulders. It is thought this is the god of the underworld, Nergal. This would tie in with a ritual text that has been found, referring to "the bronze swords of Nergal" and the "12 gods of the road junction". Indeed on the opposite side a group of gods is represented.
