The spellings Zeeland and Zeelandic are not the proper traditional English spellings. These should be Zealand and Zealandic. These misspellings, like Friesian for Frisian, which is also current in Wikipedia, arise from lack of knowledge of English orthographic tradition by Dutch speakers. That there exists a Zealand in Denmark is not relevent to this argument, because the country New Zealand is named after Zealand in The Netherlands, and using Zeeland for the Dutch province will only confuse people into thinking that New Zealand is named after a Danish island. Traditionally, both are spelt Zealand in English, but if one should have to choose which of the two has more right to the spelling Zealand, it would be the Dutch province. -AvL 15 January 2006
- Er... I started with the spelling "Zealandic" and I'm a Dutch speaker. But maybe I'm wrong but I thought Zee/aland was in the Netherlands, not in the UK, so the historical Zealand could as well be considered a misspelling in English. Caesarion 17:42, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
With all due respect: a ridiculous argument! Just as Dutch people historically refer to England as Engeland, so English people have referred to the Dutch Zeeland as Zealand. Not a misspelling, but the English name for a foreign place. Do you then also consider The Netherlands an incorrect rendition of Nederland, and should English speakers also use Nederland to refer to The Netherlands?! I am not a linguistic puritan, but please let's use the proper accepted (that is to say, traditional) English forms of place names! -AvL 16 january 2006
- For the second time: I did, at first, but someone else changed it to Zeelandic. When an exonym or specific spelling falls out of use, it is replaced, it's that simple. I will never refer to Canterbury as "Kantelberg", even though it was called so for centuries in the Netherlands. Likewise, the spelling Zeeland (pronounced in English in the very same way as "Zealand"!) seems to be more common these days than Zealand. If you really mind, look up in the history of this page who did this modification and address him/her on his talk page. Maybe s/he'll be able to tell you more about Wikipedia's policy in cases like this. Caesarion 15:19, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
This wasn't directed at you personally! I have previously changed names to their proper forms in Wikipedia, only to have them ruthlessly changed back by people who often don't understand why one spells the words as one does in English (like the person who thinks that we should spell "Friesian" because the name of the province in Dutch is "Friesland"! -Friesland in English is Frisia-). The only reason that the spelling Zeeland is more common, is because the only people writing about Zealand now are Dutch speakers. Several centuries ago, Zealand was still an important trading partner for England and Scotland as well as a more or less autonomous region, and therefore a well-known name in Britain. After its economic decline in the 18th century it has been all but forgotten abroad. Incidentally, I then wonder which spelling the British press used when covering the storm surge of 1953?! Anyway, what a bunch of to do about a single letter! I am no longer going to waste any energy on this though, because any corrections will be eradicated anyway! The bitter price of democracy! -AvL, 17 January 2006
- That's exactly what I thought when I saw the title of this article had been changed... Caesarion 10:15, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
Attencion Zealandic speakers![edit]
If you are fluent in Zealandic, please go to the following page: Talk:Dutch_language#Requested_help_from_Dutch_and_Flemish_people_from_all_Dutch_speaking_regions and help complete a project concerning all Dutch dialects. Rex 13:02, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Question on references[edit]
As a native speaker of one of the dialects (Zeeuws-Vlaams with Walcheren influences), I must take a minor issues with the 'dropped h' statement. As far as I know, the rule is that the 'h' coming before a vowel is not dropped, but becomes a weak glottal stop.
Another point that is missed is the fact that what would be a 'g' before a vowel in normal Dutch ortography becomes instead an aspirated vowel. For example, "Goed" (Good) becomes "'oed", sometimes almost "hoed" (pronounced 'hood' with a very weak 'h', or even an aspirated 'oo').
Now, the only reference I have is the direct experience of the dialect as spoken by my family (strong Zealandic-Flemish by my mother, whereas I myself have some Walcheren influences), so I have no links to studies confirming my observation. Is, however, an observation by a native speaker a valid reference to mention this in the article? Mvdwege 20:57, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Mvdwege. While they say that speakers are knowers, Wikipedia demands citeable sources, that is, references to written works. All material I ever came across does not mention the glottal stop as a phoneme, the h simply disappears. That's also what I have always observed: I never heard a native or near native speaker talk like that. You should not be mistaken either by the fact that the Dictionary of Zeelandic Dialects and many dialect authors do write an apostrophe at places where Standard Dutch has an h: 'uus "house". If your observation is right, however, there must be some literature that mentions this phaenomenon. When time permits, I will consult the Utrecht academic library on this topic; being a student does have some advantages indeed.
- Now the pronunciation of the g phoneme. Indeed it is pronounced weaker than in Standard Dutch in most dialects, but the extent to which this happens varies greatly from region to region, place to place and even from speaker to speaker. It can be very h-like indeed. However, both the Dictionary of Zeelandic Dialects and the Noe magazine prescribe a g in all cases. Individual authors often ignore these guidelines. Anyway, while this phaenomenon is not mentioned in the article - when I wrote it I thought it was relatively unimportant compared to other characteristics - it's certainly worth mentioning.
- I did not add any sources to the article because it hardly contains any "strong" claims. Most of what the article says can be easily checked in any work on Zeelandic, the information is undisputed and can be found in various sources. However, I can add as many sources as you wish, to make this article even more easily verifiable. This also requires an excursion to the library, by the way... Steinbach (fka Caesarion) 13:43, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
- Well, when I say that the 'h' before a vowel becomes a weak glottal stop, I may be fudging a bit, as I haven't boned up on correct linguistic terminology for ages. From what I personally use when dropping back into accent, and what I observed in my family around me, it is somewhere between a glottal stop and an aspiration. Perhaps linguistically speaking, that is merely aspirating the vowel. I have no clue, to be honest. I do know that Mom strictly refers to 'uus when she means home, and there is definitely no 'h' there.
- The 'g' is weird. In some cases it is a normal 'g', although slightly weaker than Standard, but the dialect I am familiar with (FYI: the family originates from the Terneuzen/Zaamslag region) does mangle the g almost down to an aspirated vowel. I am not able to ascertain though if there is any rule for when to do a 'normal' g and when to weaken it. Mvdwege 19:03, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
Unmotivated tag[edit]
As far as I can see, there is no contradiction whatsoever between the content of this article and that of nl:Nederlandse dialecten, let alone a serious one. Who is responsible for this tag and on what grounds could it have been assigned? I am very curious to hear which reservations on whose side there possibly could be here. It looks like some unexplicable mystery. -- Ad43 (talk) 15:08, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Building a Wireless Network with Linux
While being able to network two laptops wirelessly is a lot of fun and can be quite handy, I was still not satisfied. I have a local area network (LAN) in the house, spanning several computers hubbed together in the basement and up two levels to an upstairs office with another hub of three computers. Being a Linux user, I want more from my hardware and wanted to get much more functionality out of my wireless network. I wanted to be able to roam the house or sit by the pool with a wireless laptop, and also network with all computers on the LAN while browsing the Web, doing e-mail and so on. The cards are advertised as being able to communicate at least 500 feet through walls and 1000 feet within "line of sight".
Unfortunately, according to Webgear, the Aviator 2.4 cards are meant to be used only for peer-to-peer networking. If you purchase the Aviator Pro line of cards, you can then buy a piece of hardware called a wireless "access point" that hooks into your LAN via RJ45 to provide a bridge into your network or from another network. The access point costs several hundred dollars, even with diligent Internet shopping. A wireless access point is not offered for the Aviator 2.4 series.
This is where being a member of a Linux users group comes in handy. Thanks to friends in the Northern Virginia Linux Users Group, NOVALUG, I was able to create my wireless network. Following tips from messages on NOVALUG's mailing list, I installed one of the Aviator ISA PCMCIA slot adapters in my server in the basement. The server's first interface, eth0, has an assigned IP address of 192.168.2.XX. I installed the Aviator card as eth1 with an IP address of 192.168.1.1. After the wireless card was "started", I then used the route command to route wireless (eth1) traffic through eth0:
/sbin/route add 192.168.1.1 gw 191.168.2.
To complete the services, I then crafted a simple IP masquerading script (based on information courtesy of Greg Pryzby, NOVALUG's founder):
#!/bin/sh case "$1" in start) /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp /sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.2.0/24 -j MASQ /sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQ echo "NAT Started" ;; stop) /sbin/ipchains -F echo "NAT Stopped" ;; *) echo "Usage: ipmasq {start|stop}" ;; esacAfter enabling my PPP connection, wireless card, masquerading and routing on the server, then connecting to the rest of the LAN and using the Internet from my wireless laptop (with an assigned IP address of 192.168.1.2) was quite simple. Again, using the route command, but this time on the wireless laptop:
/sbin/route add default gw 192.168.1.1This configuration allowed me to communicate with all the other computers on the LAN (such as LaptopA and ComputerB), along with access to the Internet.
Then I ran into trouble. When I was down in the basement near the server, connection tests ran okay with the wireless laptop. However, when I ranged too far from the server, for some reason the cards would lose communication, or I could not "join" the "started" server connection. If you read more about wireless networking's coverage and reliability, you'll learn that the quality of a connection can be influenced by many factors. I later found out the equipment in the basement was located too close to an earthen wall, and for some reason, the signal was being blocked. I had to move the connection, but I still wanted full access to the LAN and the Internet.
I then removed the Aviator card from the server and reinstalled the card on an ancient spare laptop (LaptopA) upstairs with two Type II PCMCIA slots. Like the server, one laptop slot provided an eth0 interface to the LAN (with an IP of 192.168.2.32), while the other was configured as eth1 with the wireless card (and an IP of 192.168.1.1). IP masquerading on the server was forwarding packets from the PPP connection to the laptop, but in order to provide service to the wireless laptop, I had to use IP masquerading on LaptopA again:
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -s \ 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQ
Now everything worked fine! I could communicate with the rest of the LAN (such as from the Wireless to Computer B or the Server).
A simple route command on the server, using the wireless laptop's IP address along with the "hardwired" eth0's IP address (from LaptopA) also allowed the rest of the LAN to ping the wireless computer:
/sbin/route add 192.168.1.2 \
gw 192.168.2.XX
Believe me when I say it was somewhat of a learning experience—I never envisioned having to forward information from two computers.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

TLC 2011 blew hot and cold.
Despite some excellent matches, such as Ryder's US Championship win, the surprisingly good Triple H-Kevin Nash encounter and the TLC main event, WWE threw in three completely unannounced matches that failed to deliver.
Even some of the booking decisions were baffling.
Nevertheless, let's have a look at where I ranked each match of the PPV.

Student-Run Farmers Markets
Chelsea CSA and P.S. 11, a local elementary school, are teaming up to sell local, organic produce from Stoneledge Farm (see their cabbages below). The market supports the schools effort to promote healthy eating by enticing local families to the market not only with affordable prices, but with bonus cooking demonstrations and recipes using each week's bounty. This market runs on Wednesdays from 8am - 12noon until November 28. It is located at 320 W. 21st Street (between 8th and 9th Avenues)

Another favorite student-run market in New York is the Lower East Side Girls Club market in the East Village. This market is a joint effort between the Girls Club and Angel Farms in Goshen, NY. This market runs Wednesdays from 12noon - 6pm through the end of September. It is located at Avenue C and 9th Street. Many colleges sponsor a farmers' market, like the one pictured at the top of the post at Northwestern University. Many universities are now jumping on the bandwagon: I was thrilled to recently hear that my own alma mater now has a has a farmers market, which suggests a huge shift in eating consciousness from the days when I was there. Do you have a student-run farmers market in your area? Tell us about it.

Purporting to be a series of critical essays on psychoanalysis, this collection quickly deteriorates into another argumentum ad hominem, with Freud, as usual, being the object of necrophiliac sniping. Many of the contributors are well known for their chronic vendettas against psychoanalysis, and in so doing, expose the pedestrian nature of somewhat collegiate resistances. The time-worn outcries, the dissillusioned hopes, and the polemical obsessionalism with psychoanalytical concepts are at least clearly stated.
Mr. Rachman's introduction, for example, states that, "Psychoanalysis...has managed to continue for a half of century without being noticeably influenced by the findings of conventional or academic psychology ..." It is inconceivable that even in the presence of such massive denial that the works of the late David Rapaport, the Hartmann-Kris-Lowenstein papers, or Waelder's book on theory could be ignored. Such distorted damnations continue with the expected begrudging praise of Freud at the end to

Players: Collin Klein (6-5/225/Sr) ... 192-for-328 for 2,252 yards, 16 TDs, and 6 INTs; 407 carries for 1,619 yards and 33 TD's
Strengths: Klein is one of the best running quarterbacks in all of college football. He's their short-yardage back and carved up Miami on the ground last season. He also takes good care of the football, tossing a pick just once every 57 throws in his career.
Weaknesses: Klein isn't a real strong downfield passer. He doesn't throw for too many yards often times and is more likely to run it than throw it.
Running Back:
Players: John Hubert (5-7/190/Jr) 224-1,150-4; 30 catches for 212 yards and 1 TD ... Angelo Pease (5-11/215/Sr) 44-182-2; 3-23-0
Strengths: Hubert has the ability to make people miss in the open field. He has some home run ability. He's also one of the top pass-catchers among running backs in the Big 12.
Weaknesses: They lack a short-yardage or goal line back. The two have combined for just six touchdowns in 268 career carries.
Wide Receiver:
Players: Chris Harper (6-1/225/Sr) 68-905-10 ... Tremaine Thompson (5-7/165/Jr) 45-648-2 ... Tyler Lockett (5-11/175/So) 20-252-3
Strengths: It's a proven, experienced group. Harper and Thompson are two of the leading career pass-catchers among active Big 12 receivers. Harper presents matchup problems with his size and is a very good red-zone target.
Weaknesses: It's not an explosive group. The three starters have averaged just over 13 yards per reception in their careers. Harper and Lockett are more like possession receivers.
Tight End:
Players: Travis Tannahill (6-3/255/Sr) 20-281-2 ... Zach Trujillo (6-4/250/So) none
Strengths: They're more of a blocking group than anything. They do a nice job in the running game and the two main guys average over 250 pounds.
Weaknesses: They won't catch a whole lot of passes. In four combined seasons at K-State, they've totaled 20 career receptions. They won't spread the field too much.
Offensive Line:
Players: LT Cornelius Lucas (6-8/330/Jr), LG Nick Puetz (6-3/305/Sr), C B.J. Finney (6-4/300/So), RG Keenan Taylor (6-4/290/Jr), RT Cody Whitehair (6-3/300/R-Fr)
Strengths: It's a big, strong, and physical group that averages over 300 per player. The strength is in the interior. Puetz is a returning starter and Finney was a Freshman All-American in 2011.
Weaknesses: They're an inexperienced group. Lucas, Taylor, and Whitehair are first year starters. Whitehair lacks ideal size at right tackle. They're not terribly athletic, which means they may struggle against a good pass rush.

Time to farm HYPE
Shitty picture I know! but we did it FINALLY, after many many many wipes! over 150 at least. Precise is unknown mostly due to Derp ninja pulling while I was setting up marks for the fight GG.
While not shown in video I would like to do a special shoutout to all the people in DarkStorm who believe they can fly and like to wallhack. It's some pretty neat abilities but I would prefer people staying on the platform so we can use our combat res's from time to time
Mythic Shadow-lord Iskar
Mythic Socrethar the Eternal
Mythic Gorefiend
Mythic Killrogg Deadeye
Mythic Hellfire High Council
Mythic Kormrok
Mythic Iron Reaver
Mythic Hellfire Assault
Heroic Archimonde
New tier is out and have started raiding new content again which feels nice!
We (kinda) easily killed the first few loot bosses on mythic, after clearing most of the tier in 2 groups on heroic, we almost got Archimonde aswell but not enough dps with alts, it's a very nice tuned fight and it was close even with "cheesing" the last phase by sacrificing tanks
We spent a night with an mixed run and got him to 10% which was kinda close but just not enough and we killed it in 2 attempts with full mains
Though on Archimonde, it seems one of our warlock had a need for speed....
Hellfire Assault
Was a good starting boss lot´s of stuff going on and need to manage which targets to DPS and when to use CDs
In general the fight gets boring but as an entry boss this was pretty good on mythic the fight is an absolute joke on Heroic and Normal
Iron Reaver
Pretty simple and straightforward, assign healer CDs and kill priority targets and collect loot
Buuuuuut this boss has a frontal long cast one shot mechanic and along with being kinda tight on DPS this early on this ability gave us some headaches.... see for yourselves..
Play it safe guys going forward!
Looking forward to the rest of the tier!
No Foundry lasts forever my son...
Moonkin POV
Tier is finally over, Blackhand was an impressive tightly tuned boss, sadly we didn't get to kill him before 2 nerfs, with a few ninja pulls ect he lasted 263 attempts which was far too long, especially with the nerfs!
Also if you watch the video you will notice we actually end up 3 healing the 2nd half of the fight due to DC bug, we had quite a few DC or Res bugs happen on this boss, not sure what causes them precisely but annoying! GJ from the healers keeping us alive long enough especially in phase 3
We could have done many things better but end of the day it's a mean boss in a short fight which means not many battle res´s personal mistakes and deaths really mean a lot on this boss and we suffered hard from that more or less right up till the end.
Our tactics weren't finely tuned as fast as they should have been but we aim to get better in the next tier Blizzard throws at us, but I must say Mythic raiding is good for World of Warcraft, we love the challenge!
Bring it on!
Blackhand awaits...
http://www.twitch.tv/aeristialds/c/6335912 Twitch Highlight Priest MC POV
Getting the hang of P1 took way too long but we adapted fast and got P2 under control and smooth pretty fast from the few times we got there.
The amounts of deaths in P1 due to people dying from blowing bombs on other people was getting a bit out of hand, while me and trallass was having the time of our life MCing and almost afking P1(actually wasn´t fun)
On our kill we did have some people trying to destroy the kill...
- Optimas trying to sabotage xD
Awaiting wowprogress update we are almost back 100% back to top 100 guild, which is nice

Xavier Nady wasn't ready for the big leagues, netting a single in his lone at bat before spending the next two seasons in the minor leagues. It was a Scott Boras contract that placed Nady in San Diego straight from the draft.
Mike Leake has proven up to the task through the first two months of the season. The right-hander out of Arizona State was taken eighth overall last season and has gone 4-0 with a 2.45 ERA across 10 starts (through June 1). Nine have been quality starts, allowing three runs or less while pitching at least six innings.
Eddie Bane, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim director of scouting and a first round pick of the Minnesota Twins that went straight to the majors in 1973, says it is harder today, especially for position players.
"I felt like I belonged," Bane said of his experience. "I don't have any regrets at all. I am better at scouting than I was at pitching.
"There are not many college kids who can do it, especially the position players who are using aluminum bats. They have a coach that is not letting them use a professional approach at the plate and there is so much to overcome as a position player. He almost has to get detoxified for the first year."
The majority, therefore, spend a significant amount of time honing their skills at the minor league level, advancing as warranted, in an effort to live the dream – playing in the major leagues.
Even Albert Pujols spent a year in the minors, playing for three different St. Louis Cardinals' affiliates, before setting the world afire in the National League.
Prospects come in all shapes and sizes and many need the extra nurturing to help them meet their potential. It all starts with how scouts view 'athleticism' and a body that can withstand a grueling 162-game season.
"Athleticism is the ability to make adjustments with your body and to control your body, having life to your body," Jaron Madison, the Padres' director of scouting, explained. "You can't be stiff. You have to be able to make adjustments."
To tap that athleticism, most, if not all, of the players who will be drafted during the 2010 MLB First-Year Amateur Draft will need seasoning.
Millions of dollars are poured into scouting amateur talent, as teams scramble to come up with the formula that produces success. Those teams that don't do well in the draft find it hard to replace talent with cheaper, productive options in the world of free agency.
The Padres know the hardship of drafting poorly, especially in the opening stanza of the draft. Tim Stauffer (2003) made a comeback this season to provide a return on investment. Khalil Greene (2002) played well during his tenure in San Diego. It has been tough in years since and years prior to find legitimate talent, although they have high hopes for Donavan Tate (2009).
"The draft is a wonderful opportunity to add an impact player to your system," Padres general manager Jed Hoyer said. "We have given up the opportunity a number of times over the last few years."
The fact is nearly every major leaguer begins as a prospect. Some will be better than others. Some won't pan out. Still others will surprise.
The draft does not have the now factor of the NFL. This is about building a philosophy with the types of players a team hopes will buoy the team three to six years down there line. There are few instant rewards.

About Freeport Running Boosters
In 2008 Coaches Brian Berkemeyer and Josh Zolla began the task of building a home cross-country course. Before then home meets were held at Pineland Trails. The 20 minute bus ride meant that Freeport had no advantage on their home course.
All of the labor and materials for the trail were donated by local runners and businesses. The construction includes two bridges - one spanning over 20 feet. Miscellaneous costs were all covered by the Freeport Running Boosters.
Today the trail is a great training facility for the team and a wonderful resource for community members. The proceeds of this race go toward maintenance of the trail.

The 2010 season brought a lot of excitement to the world of college football that concluded with Auburn defeating Oregon in the BCS National Championship.
There were plenty of surprises, expectations met, and disappointments throughout the season.
Looking ahead to 2011, there are certain teams, and head coaches, that need bounce-back seasons.
The following teams don't necessarily have coaches that are on the hot seat, but following a subpar season, they very well could be.
However, there is a coach or two on one of these teams, whose future rests in the balance of performing well in this upcoming season.
With that being said, who are the teams that desperately need a bounce-back season in 2011?

As a busy graduate student at Northern Illinois University, Jeff Kirkton did not like being confined to a desk when using his laptop. So Kirkton and his roommate had a wireless computer network installed in their Hoffman Estates, Ill., apartment.
Now Kirkton can study and print documents from the couch, kitchen or bedroom and not worry about tangled wires. "I just pick it up and move, and with that I'm able to do anything I want," he said.
Kirkton is not alone. Home wireless equipment has become so popular over the last year that it is outpacing corporate sales of similar networking gear. And with many families using more than one computer at home, many are opting to connect their PCs, laptops and printers into one network.
According to a 2002 study by Phoenix-based Synergy Research Group, a firm that tracks emerging technologies, home wireless networks grew to 56 percent of the total wireless market in the second quarter of this year from 12 percent in the same period in 2000. Synergy is forecasting that the entire wireless market will reach $2.2 billion in sales by the end of the year.
"It's not sci-fi anymore, it is something you can actually do," said Aaron Vance, an analyst with Synergy.
Still, despite the growing popularity of home wireless networks, many consumers are intimidated about installing the products.
Noting the trend, an Addison, Ill., company has expanded its corporate networking business into the residential market. Over the last year, Supranova Inc. has had a steady flow of customers seeking to link home computers to consolidate Web access, share files and join computers to one printer and picture scanner, said owner Brian Costello.
The company charges $350 to $550 for installations, which take a couple of hours.
Supranova customizes networks based on what is best for the specific home, Costello said, but the most common option is wireless. It allows for free movement of computing gear throughout the home.
However, wireless does have some drawbacks, he said.
Distance can be a problem, for instance, because computers communicate better between floors than side to side. Supranova tests the strength of the connection to ensure that it is clear and can accommodate all the computers and peripheral products in the house.
Big-box electronic retailers like Best Buy also are planning to begin home installation of wireless gear in the coming weeks. Best Buy will charge about $500 for the service, said a spokesperson.
Prior to the heavy demand, Best Buy encouraged customers to install their own home networking gear. But Edgar Barreto, a Best Buy technician, said installation requires a bit of computer knowledge.
"If you know basic networking it's not that difficult, but it does require a bit of experience," he said.
All of Supranova's 55 engineers are corporate technicians who work with larger networks.
"What you end up getting in your home is an engineer that during the day might be maintaining 300 computers in an office and then coming into your home to set up your computer," Costello said.
Matt Swanston, a spokesman for the Consumer Electronics Association, said there is a shortage of people who install home networks. But, despite the efforts of companies like Best Buy, he doesn't think there will be a boom in firms offering home installation services.
That shouldn't deter wireless growth, Swanston said. If homeowners are willing to spend a weekend or two experimenting with the equipment and getting technical support from the Internet, it's not too difficult to self-install the gear, he said.
For Kirkton, who used Supranova to install the equipment, the biggest benefit of the home network is that his laptop accesses the Internet just as quickly as when it was wired.
"All it is, is a box that is smaller than a tissue box, and it only has one plug in it," said Kirkton, who will take the system with him if he switches apartments.
Swanston said the growing use of home wireless technology is following the general path of most consumer electronic goods: People first experiment with the new technology at work before finding a way to bring it into their home.
Furthermore, Swanston said, families have started to treat older computers the same way they view old TV sets: Instead of throwing them away, they are moved to another room and connected to a network.

In this movie, we're going to see how to create a smooth animation using a technique known as double buffering. Double buffering is called that because all the drawing takes place on an offscreen canvas, or buffer, before it is copied to the onscreen canvas. The reason you do this is because if you have a lot of objects that are being animated, if you're just doing all the animation directly on the screen, the user might see things like flicker or other unwanted artifacts that don't happen when you draw everything offscreen first and then copy the finished frame onto the canvas.
So let's take a look at the example that we're going to build. I'm going to bring up my finished example, and you can see that what we have here is a nice nighttime sky with snowflakes of various sizes falling at various speeds and randomly drifting to the left at various rates. So this is the example that we're going to build. You can see that it's nice and smooth. There's no stuttering or anything like that. So this example is using double-buffering animation, so all the snowflakes are being animated on a canvas that you can't see off the screen, and then each frame, as it's completed, is copied onto the canvas.
So let's go ahead and build that. I'm going to open up my start point here in the editor and in the snippets and at my Double Buffer Animation, so let's copy things over. So this is just some initialization code. So here's the canvas and context that's in the page, and that's this canvas right here. But we also have variables for the buffercanvas, and this is a canvas that to we're going to create offscreen. We have an array to hold all the snowflakes, we have a timer that is used to animate each flake, and then we have a variable that keeps track of the maximum number of flakes we're going to have on the screen. So let's save.
Let's copy over the initialization function. So we copy that and we paste it. So the initialization function will get called when the document loads, and that's right here. So when the document loads, we're going to get a reference to the canvas in the context of the canvas that's in the page. And we're going to use that information to create a new buffer canvas. So you can see we're using the document's DOM right here to create a new canvas element, and then retrieve its context.
Now this canvas is not in the page; it's floating in space somewhere, but we can still use it to draw on. So once we've created the buffercanvas, we set its width and height to the same width and height of the canvas that's already in the page. Once we've initialized that, we set an interval timer that adds snowflakes to the scene over time. So every 200 milliseconds, or pretty much every fifth of a second, we'll be adding a new snowflake. Then we have a Draw function, which draws the initial setting, and then we have an animate timer which gets called every 30 milliseconds, or about every thirty-ish frames per second or so. So let's save.
Let's copy over the animation function, and the animation function is right here, paste. So the animation function follows a fairly standard pattern that you'll see throughout various animation techniques. Every time the animation function gets called which is about 30 times per second. The first thing it does is call Update function, then it calls Draw. Now Update is responsible for moving all of the animated objects on the screen.
So it's going to move each one of the snowflakes according to its speed and drift and so on. Once all the objects have been updated to their new locations, we then call the Draw function which updates the scene and copies the contents of the buffercanvas onto the onscreen canvas. So now that we have that in place, let's save, and let's copy over the supporting logic. So we have these two functions, addFlake and blank.
Let's copy that, and we'll put those in here. And let's copy over the Update and Draw functions as well, and we'll go through those and see what they do. So I'm going to put those guys down here. So as I mentioned earlier, we have Update and Draw, and now we copied over some supporting logic. The last thing we need to copy over is the logic that creates all the snowflakes.
So let's copy that over, and you can see that right here in addFlake, we have a call to a new Flake object. So I'm going to copy that because that's up here at the top, and we'll to paste that in. So here's how this works. So remember, we have a timer here that adds snowflakes to the screen gradually over time, and that's this function.
So we have an array; recall that we have an array of snowflakes. So each time this function gets called, we're going to create a new snowflake and put it in the array of snowflakes. And then once the length of the snowflake array has reached the maximum number of flakes we want, we then clear the snowflake timer so that no further flakes get added. So let's go back up and look at the initialization logic for each snowflake. So each snowflake on the screen is going to have some properties associated with it.
So each snowflake has an x and y position, and that's these two lines right here. So the snowflake is going to start out above the top of the canvas, so we initialize that to be -10 pixels so it appears off the canvas initially. Then we want to distribute each snowflake randomly along the X axis of the canvas so that it has a different starting position when it falls down. So we're going to use the built-in JavaScript's Math library to create a random number, and the random function gives us a random number between 0 and 1.
So we're going to multiply that by the width of the canvas. That will give us a random number that goes from zero up to the far right of the canvas, and then we'll just simply use the rounding function to round that to an n-digit number. So now we've initialized the x and y position of each snowflake, but we don't want each snowflake to just fall straight down--and that's kind of not very realistic. We want each snowflake to kind of drift a little bit. So we have a drift property, and again, we just have a little random number between 0 and 1, and we're going to add that to the x position each time to give it a little bit of a drift.
Then we have the speed at which each snowflake falls. So again, to be realistic, we want each snowflake to fall at a slightly different speed, so we have a random number between 0 and 1, times 5. That will give us a random number between 0 and 5. But we don't want zero because we don't want any snowflakes just sitting there out in space, not falling in defined gravity. So we add the number one to ensure that every snowflake at least has some speed, so this will now give us a random number between one and six.
Then we have to make the width and height of each snowflake. So we're going to give the width of the snowflake-- again, we want it to be realistic, and snowflakes are varying sizes-- so we'll have a random number between 0 and 1, times 3, so that'll give us a width between 0 and 3. But we can't have snowflakes of zero width, and we want to make sure that each snowflake is at least visible, so we'll add the number 2 to that. So now we have snowflakes of random width at least 2 and at most 5. And to make them square, we'll just set the height to be whatever the width is.
So now that we've created each snowflake, let's go back down and see what the Update function does. So remember, each time through the animate loop, we're going to update, then we're going to draw. So in the Update logic, for all of the snowflakes in the snowflake array, we need to update their position based upon their properties. So we check to see if this snowflake, if the y value is currently less than the height of the canvas; in other words, it still hasn't reached the bottom of the canvas yet. And if that's true, then we update the snowflake's position.
So we update its vertical position by adding the speed to whatever the y value is that will cause the snowflake to fall down a little bit more. If doing that has now caused the snowflake to fall off the bottom of the canvas-- in other words, the y value is now greater than the canvas height-- we reset the y value to be -5. That will reset it to be back up above the top of the canvas. So now we've updated the y position. Now we have to update the x position. Now remember, the x position gets updated because we don't want the snowflake to fall straight down; we want it to kind of drift a little bit randomly.
So each time through this animate loop, we're going to add the snowflake's drift amount to whatever its x position is. Then just like for the y position logic, we have to see if the x position is now greater than the canvas width, because it's drifted off the right side of the screen. If that's the case, we simply reset the x position of the snowflake to zero. So this is going to happen for all of the snowflakes in the array. So now when this function completes, all the snowflakes have been moved to their new position. So that means it's time for the Draw function to run.
So after Update, the Draw function is now responsible for drawing everything in its new location. So we have a save and a restore for the context--and these aren't mandatory, but it's a good practice to put them in. I just put them there in case any drawing comes before or after this particular function, if I have a complex animation that I'm working on. The first thing we do is call the blank function, and the blank function-- let's just scroll back up--all this does is draw our night sky. So we draw the background first with a nice deep purplish color, and we fill the rectangle on the buffercanvas, starting at the upper left down to the lower right.
And again, you can see that all the drawing is taking place on the offscreen buffercanvas, not on the onscreen one. So we just draw the background, and then we draw all the snowflakes. So once again, we have a loop that goes across the entire snowflake array, and for each one of the snowflakes, we set the fillStyle of the canvas on the buffercanvas to be white. And then again, on the buffercanvas, we just fill each rectangle represented by each snowflake.
So we have the x and y position and the width and the height of each snowflake. So we do that for all 200 flakes. Then when we've drawn everything to the buffercanvas, we copy the entire rendered image, this frame, from the buffercanvas onto the canvas that's on the screen. So we do that using the drawImage function that's on the onscreen canvas to copy the source, which is the buffercanvas. And again, we copy from the upper-left corner, all the way to the lower right.
So let's go ahead and save, and let's try it out. You can see now that we've got snowflakes beginning to fill the sky, and we've got a little drift going on, right? Some of them are drifting, some of them are falling at different a different speeds. So now let's get little bit fancy. Now let's add a clipping region, and remember, we learned about clipping regions earlier. So let's go back to the code. So what we're going to do now is scroll down here, and we're going to create a clipping region. I'm going to copy this and I'm going to paste it back in here.
So remember that clipping paths define an area outside of which drawing does not take place, and inside of which drawing shows through. So we're going to create a clipping region by calling the beginPath function, again, on the buffercanvas--all the drawing takes place in the buffercanvas. So we fill the entire buffercanvas with a black rectangle, starting at the upper left and going to the lower right. Then we draw an arc, and the arc is going to be drawn at the middle of the buffercanvas, so we divide the width by 2, the height by 2.
That gets at the center. We're going to give the arc a radius of 40% of whatever the canvas height is. So it's going to reach 40% in all directions. And since the radius is half the diameter, this will give us a circle of 80% of the canvas's height. And then finally we call clip which tells the canvas, only draw in the visible area which is represented by that circle. So let's save and let's see what this does. Let's refresh. Now we have a circle.
It's kind of like looking through a telescope, right? So now the snowflakes are only visible within the circular area. They're still being drawn out here. You just can't see it because the clipping region is precluding that from happening. But the effect that we've created is looking at a snowfall through say a telescope. That's our finished example. So in this movie, we've seen how to create smooth animation using a technique known as double buffering. And for good measure, we added a clipping region to clip the animation to a visible area, providing a nice nighttime snowfall effect.

How Can an ISP Merge With a CDN?
As delivering contents has become the dominant usage of Internet, the efficient content distribution is being one of the hottest research areas in network community. In future network, it is anticipated that network entities such as routers will be equipped with in-network storage due to the trend of ever-decreasing storage cost. In this paper, the authors propose a novel content delivery architecture called Internet Service Provider (ISP) centric COntent DElivery (iCODE) by which an ISP can provide content delivery services as well. iCODE can provide efficient content delivery services since an ISP can cache the contents in routers with storage modules considering traffic engineering and the locality of the content requests.

Functional Adaptations
Functional adaptation
The tissue structure of cricket footpads dampens the shock of jumping due to a flexible exocuticle and dense fibers.
"The fluid within the pad between the filaments contributes to the visco-elastic behaviour of the pad, because the fluid is able to flow through the gaps between the rods, when the pad deforms during contact formation and breakage (Gorb et al. 2000). The interconnecting filaments presumably prevent rod buckling, when these are bending during contact. The pad presumably works as a damper during jump or landing at high speed of the deformation, as well as a means of replicating a complex substratum profile at slow deformation speeds. Also, the rod-like organization of the pad architecture would allow an independent local load distribution over the area of contact between pad and substrate. This would aid in an enhancement of the adaptation of the pad to imperfections of natural substrata…The structural principle, based on branching rods, contributes to holding the shape of the pad. This principle, combined with the presence of a relatively stiff superficial layer, provides the adaptability of the attachment pad to unevenness of natural substrata." (Perez Goodwyn et al. 2006:1241)

Pads on bushcricket feet stick to vertical surfaces due to angled rods and a secreted viscous fluid.
"Like the gecko, the great green bushcricket (Tettigonia viridissima) is endowed with 'sticky' feet. It can walk on smooth vertical surfaces, and even upside down, with no trouble. Unlike the gecko, the bushcricket has smooth footpads. It relies not on van der Waals forces between the footpad and the substrate, but on design of the footpad itself. The cuticle of an insect's footpad is comprised of the soft material found just below the exoskeleton elsewhere in the body. In the bushcricket, this soft material covers another cuticle layer: a thicket of fine, branching rods that slope forwards at an angle of around 60 degrees. As the foot presses down, the rods bend and the pad molds itself around the irregular surface below, achieving the maximum contact. As a final adhesive measure, the bushcricket secretes a viscous fluid onto its pads. It actually leaves footprints when it walks. This design has an advantage over the hairy-sole system used by geckos in that the bushcricket can easily lift its legs. It does not need to 'peel' its feet off the substrate."

Tettigonia viridissima
|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (June 2013)
Tettigonia viridissima, the Great Green Bush-Cricket, is a large species of katydid or cricket belonging to the family Tettigoniidae, subfamily Tettigoniinae. This species can be encountered from Europe to Mongolia, especially in meadows, grasslands, prairies and occasionally in gardens.
The adult males grow up to 28–36 millimetres (1.1–1.4 in) long, while females reach 32–42 millimetres (1.3–1.7 in). This insect is most often completely green (but there are specimens completely yellowish or with yellow legs), excluding a rust-colored band on top of the body. The organ of the stridulation of the males is generally brown.
Tettigonia viridissima is distinguished by its very long and thin antennae, which can sometimes reach up to three times the length of the body, thus differentiating them from grasshoppers, which always carry short antennae. It could be confused with Tettigonia cantans, whose wings are a centimeter shorter than the ovipositor, or Tettigonia caudata whose hind femurs bear conspicuous black spines.
The morphology of both sexes is very similar, but the female has an egg-laying organ (ovipositor) that can reach a length of 23–32 millimetres (0.91–1.26 in). It reaches the end of the elytra and is slightly curved downward. The larvae are green and as the imago show on their back a thin brown longitudinal stripe. The ovipositor can be seen from the fifth stage; the wings appear in both genders from the sixth stage.
Tettigonia viridissima is carnivorous and arboreal. Its diet is mostly composed of flies, caterpillars and larvae. Unlike many grasshoppers, it is essentially active in day and night, as testified by its endless crepuscular and nocturnal singing.
The species can bite painfully but is not particularly aggressive. It is best to avoid holding the insect in the fist, as that almost guarantees a bite. They can fly, but they tend to avoid flying where possible. Most often they move "on foot" or jumps, which allow them to travel about in bushes and trees.

Thunder in the Morning Calm
Thunder in the Morning Calm is a 2011 legal-thriller/political thriller written by Don Brown. Thunder in the Morning Calm, a novel that explores the question of whether American servicemen who were listed as MIAs may still be alive in North Korea from the Korean War, was released in the summer of 2011.Thunder in the Morning Calm [1] was the first novel released in Zondervan's Pacific Rim Series, and Brown has stated in interviews that he penned the novel in part to bring attention to the issue of Korean War POWs detained in North Korea, referring to Americans left behind in North Korean prison camps at the end of the Korean War.[2] Thunder in the Morning Calm is the first of three novels in Don Brown's Pacific Rim Series[3][4]
In 1996, the Eisenhower Presidential Library, also known as the Eisenhower Presidential Center released previously classified documents revealing that the United States left more than 900 men in North Korean prison camps at the end of the war in 1953. At the time, the United States, South Korea and North Korea all denied that Americans were still captured behind the borders. Those 900 Americans have never been accounted for. [5]
According to Brown, eyewitness accounts of elderly Americans in North Korea continued to leak out until 2005 or 2005. He has raised the question about the possibility of some Americans still being alive there, pointing out that some American veterans of the Civil War lived for as long as seventy five years after the Battle of Gettysburg. [6] Brown has cited reports of sightings of elderly Americans held in North Korea in the years after the war.[7][8]
The storyline in Thunder in the Morning Calm centers around a young naval intelligence officer, who, when discovering secret documents about Americans being left behind in North Korean, finances his own covert mission into North Korea to search for clues about his grandfather, who is Missing in Action from the Korean War.

FYI........ Buried below in todays' WSJ article "saddled with billions of dollars in hard-to-sell commercial real-estate assets and leveraged loans" THE MORNING BRIEFBy JOSEPH SCHUMANWSJ - June 3, 2008 The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Lehman Brothers, the smallest independent Wall Street firm still around after Bear Stearns collapse, will soon report its first quarterly loss since the firm went public and is looking at ways to raise perhaps $3 billion to $4 billion in new capital to strengthen its balance sheet. Lehman was the subject of apparently unfounded credibility doubts right after Bear Stearns was bailed out and essentially sold, and Lehman executives continue to say the firm's in good shape to handle the credit-market uncertainty. It has also already raised $6 billion in the past year, and has access to the Federal Reserve's new borrowing facilities for investment banks, as the Journal notes. "Nonetheless, some investors remain concerned that relative to its size, Lehman is holding more securities tied to both residential and commercial real estate than any other big Wall Street broker," the Journal says, citing Bernstein Research.Yesterday, Standard & Poor's said it had lost some confidence in the ability of Lehman, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley to meet their financial obligations, a change of heart that knocked 8.1% off Lehman's share price, 3% off Merrill's and 2.6% off Morgan Stanley's, the New York Times notes. But Lehman seems to be hurting the most among the three. The Journal says Lehman would probably announce the new capital infusion the week after next, when it is scheduled to report its quarterly results, and that its "fresh difficulties" will include the consequences of being "saddled with billions of dollars in hard-to-sell commercial real-estate assets and leveraged loans" as well as "further write-downs on these portfolios.".................Salty

Studying words with the WordNet lexical reference
The WordNet lexical reference maps connections between words. Check out this fascinating tool based on language data from two decades of research.
WordNet is a reference tool that lets you study the connections between words. In the words of its developers, WordNet is "… an online lexical reference system whose design is inspired by current psycholinguistic theories of human lexical memory. English nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are organized into synonym sets, each representing one underlying lexical concept. Different relations link the synonym sets." (http:// wordnet. princeton. edu/). In other words, since all the entries in WordNet are organized into synonym sets (synsets) and they contain definitions and examples, WordNet can be used both as a thesaurus and a conventional dictionary.
However, what makes WordNet a unique reference tool is that every synset is connected to other synsets via a number of relations. This means that for each word in WordNet, you can retrieve not only its synonyms, but also hypernyms, hyponyms, meronyms, and holonyms.

Back in 1803 the first deer were introduced to Australia.
We take our name from that date, because in a way that's when our story began.
My family has been sustainably and ethically farming red deer on rolling pastures near Orange, Central NSW for 34 years. Our father, Andrew was a big country vet and he loved his deer. Now my brother Tim continues dad's passion as he breeds, farms and processes red deer under the Mandagery Creek Venison brand.
The idea of 1803 began with a commitment to the nose-to-tail philosophy and a spirit of collaboration. 1803 works with talented Australian artisans to use our antlers and hides, which are the natural bi-products of deer farming. Our artisans are our heroes, they have developed rare and traditional skills, and they value the process of working with these beautiful natural materials. Their attention to detail and the care and time this takes mean we make our premium products in small runs.
In everything we make there's an integrity that we are really proud of.
Australian made local beauties, every single piece.
