Now the official residence of Kate and Wills, Kensington Palace was once the childhood home of Queen Victoria back in the 1820s
As one of central London's royal residences, Kensington Palace has been a home and refuge to the royal family since the 17th century. Now, it is the official residence to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge – otherwise known as our familiar Kate and Wills. Built in 1605, it has roots in Jacobean architecture and was first known as Nottingham House. Now it is one of London's most exquisite palaces and comes with acres of manicured gardens and the world famous Orangery.
- Queen Caroline's Cabinet of Curiosities, a collection of objects from around the world
- 16th century painted King's Staircase depicting frescoes of the court of King George I
- Queen Mary's State Apartments preserved over time
- Over 30 acres of lush Palace Gardens, a tranquil urban oasis
Did you know:
- The oldest reigning monarch of 63 years, Queen Victoria, spent her childhood in the palace
- A 1697 inventory documented that Mary II owned over 800 items of Chinese Porcelain
- To celebrate the arrival of the German King George I at Kensington he ordered a bonfire, six barrels of strong beer and over 300 bottles of wine
- Composer Handel was invited to the palace to perform for King George II, who was such a fan that he gave Handel British citizenship (originally he was from Germany, like the King himself)
- A book of original Leondardo da Vinci drawings were miraculously found in the palace in 1778 and sent to Windsor Castle
- Princess Louise allowed injured soldiers hurt in the Great War to rest and recover in her private apartments in 1914

Sports news from the Pollock, SD area.
Posted 2/04/13 (Mon)
By Wendy Thorstenson
Herreid-Selby Area came up short in the battle of the undefeated as the Lady Wolverines fell to Summit 62-38 in Aberdeen on Tuesday, Jan. 29. Ranked first in the state for Class B, Summit pulled away from a tied up game midway through the first quarter to outscore H-SA 33 to nine in the rest of the first half.
"Summit is the top rated team in the State B polls and they proved it Tuesday night," said Coach Dean Schwartz. "They made six threes in the second quarter alone and shot nine of 14 for the game. After the game, their coach commented that was their best performance so far this year."
Winners of the State B championship title last year, the Lady Eagles are known for their defensive skills and those skills caused the Lady Wolverines some challenges.
"We, on the other hand, did not play our best," Schwartz said. "We went one for 12 beyond the arc and could not get the ball inside because of their sagging man defense. We also had 21 turnovers to their nine. It was hard to match up with their two six-foot guards who could shoot the three and also penetrate and pass. We tried a 1-3-1 zone but they pass the ball well and find their outside shooters. We did play with them the second half but it was a little too late. "
The Lady Wolverines were up 6-4 in the first quarter before Summit hit five unanswered baskets. McKenzie Frank nailed a buzzer beater from beyond the arc to leave the score 9-14 at the quarter stop. Frank hit another basket early in the second quarter, but no other Wolverine connected until the final minute and a half of the quarter when Shauni Schwartz added a pair of baskets. Meanwhile, Summit added six treys, two field goals and a free throw to go ahead 15-37 at the half.
H-SA starting connecting in the third quarter, outscoring the Eagles 14 to 13 as five Lady Wolverines found the basket. Summit outscored H-SA 12 to nine in the final quarter. Kelsey Quaschnick led the Lady Wolverines in the fourth as she added all six of her points for the game.
Schwartz led H-SA with 10 points and 13 rebounds while Logan O'Farrell, 19, and Kalissa Pereboom, 16, paced Summit.
Others grabbing some of H-SA's 30 rebounds were Haylee Biel, six, Taylor Madden, five, and Frank, three. Summit had 32 rebounds.
Steals for H-SA added up to nine led by Frank and Madden, both with three, while the Eagles tallied 17 steals. Schwartz had four of H-SA's five blocks and Summit had nine blocks.
H-SA committed 14 fouls compared to 13 by Summit.
Biel 1 2
Frank 1/1 5
Fjeldheim 2 3/3 7
Quaschnick 3 6
Schwartz 4 2/5 10
J.Thorstenson 1 2
K. Thorstenson 3 6
Wolverines 15/1 5/8 38
Eagles 14/9 7/11 62
It was a good experience for the girls, and we know we need to work hard to get better," Schwartz added.

Oh oh....... another life potentially ruined by starting working with clay!
Unfortunately there are no easy answers to your real question there. So much is about the person, "match-up" of learning styles of teacher and student, eye hand coordination, and so on.
Check around your area for an adult education kind of ceramics class that is at least 12-15 weeks long. Craft centers, colleges, and even some local potters may offer these. From one session like that, you should have an answer to your core question.... as well as a greater understanding of teawares and ceramics in general. Then you can decide if you want to go further.
Welcome to the "addiction". Beware the "Dark Side" Powerful, it is, ummm.
toasterburn wrote:There are two local options:
1.) A $150 class that consists of 3 2-hour one-on-one sessions (so 6 hours total).
2.) A college course that involves 4 months of classes at 6 hours a week.
Obviously, as someone who supports a family by working full-time, the college class option would be a considerable strain to attend. Not impossible, but it would require quite a sacrifice of time. On the other-hand, I'm skeptical about how much I could accomplish in a 6 hour class. Is this possibly something I could learn on my own? That's how I've learned virtually everything I know how to do. And there is a local "clay-op" where I can rent studio time (complete with kilns).

Skip to comments.James Bond: heroic spy or womanizing killer?
Posted on 11/26/2012 8:06:12 PM PST by ReformationFan
Yes, there are far more pressing matters in the world than the escapades of the fictional 007, but, hey, if the Vatican's official newspaper can devote five articles to the latest James Bond flick, I don't feel too guilty devoting one measly column to it.
I've always had an aversion to the James Bond character, and I suppose it has more to do with the fact that he's a glorified womanizing/fornicating spy who will kill at the drop of a hat versus a chaste spy who will "merely injure" at the drop of a hat.
To me, the Bond movies' villains are only slightly less moral than the supposed protagonist: Bond...James Bond. Thus, I feel no sympathy for 007; I don't root for him. I don't care if he gets hurt. I know he's not going to die at the end; there is, after all, too much money invested in the Bond franchise for that to happen.
I haven't seen all the Bond movies; only four (I think) in their entirety, including the latest, Skyfall, plus scenes from a couple of others. Mostly forgettable for me. But L'Osservatore Romano, the Vatican's official newspaper, loves Skyfall.
From Reuters:
If anyone thinks the Vatican newspaper is still a staid broadsheet that publishes only religious news and harsh papal edicts, consider this ... it ran not one but five articles about the new James Bond film.
(Excerpt) Read more at renewamerica.com ...
What's wrong with being a womanizing killer?
Ted Kennedy didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"Obama," replied the dork. Then he added something about how McCain couldn't handle that macho role and Obama could.
You have to build your Presidential Library in Arkansas and make it look like a mobile home?
In the early books he was both but with a real conscience. For instance in "Dr. No" Bond tells Felix Leiter that you know me too well for that". In response to a question about if Bond had killed someone.
Of course if need be he definitely would kill.
Also in "From Russia With Love", Bond asks the Gypsies to stop the girl on girl fight.
The most immoral Bond to me was in "The Man With the Golden Gun" which had just about zero to do with the book's storyline. Bond simply murders the gunsmith who made Scaramanga's gun. I think Cubby Broccoli was pushing an anit-gun message in that movie.
Call in the crew..
"I haven't seen all the Bond movies; only four (I think) in their entirety, including the latest, Skyfall, plus scenes from a couple of others"
I remember when DR NO was released when I was in High school. The newspaper reviews and critics at that time were AGHAST at the rank sadism and womanizing in the film.
Cold blooded MURDER by the hero, 007! "That is a Smith & Wesson. You've had your six." Pop, pop, pop. pop.
Sadism by DR NO! Too much skin from Ursula Andres!
It is so mild by today's standards.
I really have never liked Bond for that very reason.
However, my husband says he does fall in love but those are the girls that die...
then at the end of the movie he is with someone and we are led to believe that he is in love...however by the next movie she is gone and you are then left to think, oh darn, didn't work out.
You know, i saw on tv, they have medicine for Low-Testosterone these days. Sounds like the writer needs a dose.
You know, i saw on tv, they have medicine for Low-Testosterone these days. Sounds like the writer needs a dose.
A "chaste spy"? lol
To some extent the womanizing smoking drinking gambling Bond was what Fleming was as well. Obviously not exactly but Fleming drew from his own experiences as well as those he knew from his own past. The movie Bond simply extended the character into a cartoon like fantasy. Not sure if Fleming would have approved of the direction the movies took Bond after he passed away or not. I think he was on the set for the first 3 movies.
To cut this short: It is not How you fight that matters. Reality dictates that (unless you want to lose). It is WHY you fight that matters.
There was even a Star Trek episode involving the Gorn and a gun made of bamboo that addressed this - under the auspices of uber-lib Roddenberry.
What an azz. Despite all of McLame's faults, he fought in real combat. Obama is a feminine wannabe thug. McLame would kick his - and that moron talk show host's - azz.
It wasn't the "moron talk show host" he was quoting a news item about someone closely associated with Bond movies making the comment. I do not remember the name of the individual and I did not know who he was. In fact the talk show host had the same opinion as your opinion.
'The most immoral Bond to me was in The Man With the Golden Gun which had just about zero to do with the books storyline. Bond simply murders the gunsmith who made Scaramangas gun. I think Cubby Broccoli was pushing an anit-gun message in that movie.'
Bond doesn't kill the gunsmith(Senhor Lazar, as they would say in Portuguese since this scene is set in Macau). He just threatens him to find out Scaramanga's whereabouts. In the very next scene, Lazar is alive and passing the gold bullets to Maud Adams' Andrea, Scaramanga's mistress.
You might like "The Living Daylights". That's the most romantic film in the series for me(even more so than "On Her Majesty's Secret Service"). Dalton's Bond and the innocent Kara have a sweet chemistry that's atypical for the series.
The article's last paragraph reveals all.
I think the writer is naive in the extreme. I can agree with the womanizing being a definite moral flaw in the Bond character, but on the other hand, although the "spy game" is fictionalized, there is some truth to the never ending deception that I'm sure plays a major role in clandestine warfare - and, warfare is what it is.
Often, the Bond character was after needed information from many of the women he "communed with". Of course, the most unbelievable part of the Bond mystique is the constant womanizing - but that's Hollywood, not reality.
However, I think people forget that "spying" is also warfare just as much as front line combat. The killing of other spies and their allies is on the same moral plain as killing in "special ops" or in open warfare with infantry and tanks.
But, the killing is just part of warfare. The spies are soldiers just like the other branches of the military. So, maybe it's "shame" on Bond for the fornication, but the killing? I don't think it's any different than the fighting and killing from that of the Navy Seals, or Army Rangers, or any Marine Infantry Division
I thought Abbott's point was pretty good:
"Could it be that Hollywood is actually becoming less politically correct? Will Hollywood start promoting positive portrayals of men and women who struggle with same-sex attraction but strive to live chaste lives; or who live as ex-gays?
"Nah...wishful thinking on my part."
it is the best song from a-ha i've run across so far.
Gotcha. My bad...
A real spy, as opposed to a fictional creation such as James Bond, does not attract attention to him/her self and his/her activities. That should include such things as not complicating their objectives with such things as extraneous sexual activities. So, unless it absolutely mission essential, a chaste spy would be preferred by real professionals rather than someone of "Bond's" ilk...
the infowarrior
1. Bond is not a spy, he does not work for MI6. There over 13 references in the novels to Bond working at the Ministry of Defence, MI6 is part Foreign Affairs not MoD. Therefore Bond could never have worked for MI6.
2. Bond is not a killer, yes he is licenced to kill, but in the novels he did not kill that often. Like Fleming, he disliked killing in cold blood.
3. Bond is not a womanizer per se. Yes he is a "warm blooded heterosexual man", but ithe novels he never manipulated woman except for only one time in Thunderball.
The Bond of the books has a conscience. He doesn't enjoy his vodka martinis as much as pound them in an effort to anesthetize himself. His frequent showers suggest, at least to this reader, an attempt to cleanse his guilt a la Lady Macbeth.
I had high hopes for the re-boot with Daniel Craig. I naively believed we'd get faithful adaptions of Fleming's excellent novellas. Silly me.
I didn't know that, (#1) I wonder why they made him MI6 in the movies.
Fleming got me to read in 1964. Voracious ever since.
The problem is the Bond personna was all about one man daring to confront evil, daring to fight corruption, daring to twart mad men and any goal of world wide domination.
Which is fine when you live in fantasy land, the reality is this, Bond should be addressing realty.
Make the next Bond movie about him removing a Manchurian candidate from Washington DC. About him finding real documentation of an usurper, the facts of who was behind him all along, the adventure of Bond fighting Acorn Agents.
This is realty, give Bond the ultimate mission much like going after SPECTRE or Dr. No.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (35 votes).
In short: A great race with unbelievable views of second runway at Manc AirportDate of review: July 8, 2009
In short: A cute little race, In full: A lovely course, well organised and friendly(yes ok,marshalls were quiet, but the one who wasnt made up for it).I was glad I'd read about the steep hill beforehand-on this forum- and well pleased that I forced myself to run up it.I did much better than i expected and my only suggestion is a half way marker, as i found it hard to guage the distance. Well done WRC.Date of review: May 29, 2009
In short: ExcellentIn full: 3rd year running that Wilmslow RC have arranged the sun for this race. Running alongside the runway while a plane takes off on one side and cows lounge around on the other in the summer sun takes some beating.Date of review: May 29, 2009
In short: Bit of a hidden gem this one with a bit of plane spotting thrown in!In full: Warm evening made this fairly low lying, undulating course seem hard. There's one hill in it after you pass through a tunnel, but a great downhill the otherside & alongside the runway.Marshalls were scarce and a little silent - (come on guys, give us a cheer), and I think some distance markers would have helped the more novice runners.Overall a great little race to raise funds for charity, and the prize I got was great, well worth the trip from the otherside of the pennines :-)Date of review: May 29, 2009
In short: A mixture of road and trail.In full: I love these smaller events, especially when all profits go to charity. Well done Wilmslow running club again. Great varied course around the southern perimeter of the airport. The river Bollin tunnel under the runway is spectacular and gets your spirits up for the short sharp hill straight after it. All good fun.Date of review: May 29, 2009
In short: Doesn't get much better than this.In full: Perfect evening, great route and scenery, very well organised. Can't fault it.Date of review: May 29, 2009
In short: Great course for great causeIn full: Great route round the airport on mixture of road, tracks and grass. Had to walk up THAT hill coming out of the tunnel but loved running down the hill into it. 1 stile and a cattle grid added to the fun and I wasn't last!!Date of review: May 28, 2009

Wigan take Robles on loan
Wigan have signed goalkeeper Joel Robles on loan from Atletico Madrid until the end of the season.
- Related Content
The Spanish club, second in the Primera Division and ahead of city rivals Real Madrid, had allowed Robles to spend a trial period at the DW Stadium, and boss Roberto Martinez was sufficiently impressed to bring the 22-year-old into his first-team squad.
Atletico confirmed the deal tonight in a statement on their website, which read: "Atletico Madrid and Wigan Athletic have reached an agreement so that Joel Robles, after a trial period with the English club, will play on loan until June 30 with the Premier League team.
"The goalkeeper will return to the 'rojiblanco' at the end of this loan period."
Robles has yet to break into the Atletico first team on a regular basis, with Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois currently on loan with the club and the established preferred choice of coach Diego Simeone.
The 6ft 5in shot-stopper had a loan spell with Rayo Vallecano last season before returning to the Vicente Calderon stadium.
At Wigan he will provide competition for number one Ali Al Habsi and reserve Mike Pollitt.

Wall Street is a Casino in the Clouds
I was more right than I realized. It's clear now that Wall Street is indeed obsolete, replaced by computers and software, and that the actual ownership of things is less important than the casinos of risk built on top of them.
The deal reported by Reuters between NYSE Euronext (NYX) and InterContinental Exchange (ICE) , along with the deal between Getco and Knight Capital Group (KCG) , reported at Sfgate.com both reflect this new reality.
Trading is moving to cloud computing platforms, traders becoming software algorithms. The instruments you see priced on the TV crawls, the equity in real companies, are no longer where the action is. The exchange owners are welcoming their new cloud overlords, taking stock in the acquirers as part of these deals.
ICE is based near my home in Atlanta -- actually the suburb of Sandy Springs -- but its computer center is in Chicago. It's a browser-based front-end that can run Java programs and looks, to my eyes, pretty compatible with Microsoft's (MSFT) Azure cloud. It is mainly a derivatives market, selling futures, options and swaps tied to oil, indexes, and commodities.
While ICE had been trying to get NYX for some time -- and was previously part of Nasdaq's (NDAQ) $11.3 billion bid for the exchange, I think the writing on the wall here was Hurricane Sandy. Sandy closed the exchange floor for days and, frankly, a global, cloud-based trading world can't have that.
ICE and NYX are about the same size in terms of revenue but ICE's business is much more profitable, and the multiple paid for its earnings dwarfs that of NYX, which is why it's able to do the deal.
The Getco-KCG deal is even more virtual. Getco is a privately held market maker, which is using this reverse merger to go public. Both companies are just running computerized trading systems, and Getco was able to move because, earlier this year, someone at Knight made a mistake, as Kiddynamitesworld.com said, executing a week's worth of trades in a matter of minutes.
Getco and ICE are computers. The don't sleep. They mainly trade esoteric instruments only dimly related to actual ownership of anything. The trades are usually pre-set by software algorithms, not by humans at all.
Despite the 2008 market crash, and despite Knight's own example of software failure, global trading keeps moving into this dimly regulated computerized netherworld, a virtual casino where fortunes are made and lost in a heartbeat, and where cops are almost guaranteed to be several steps behind the robbers.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (243 votes).
In short: First half marathon, and i picked the right one to start with!In full: This was my first half marathon and so i was there bright and early with my better half at just past 8am! so had a bit of a wait for the start, but better than being late, as i was stood there nervous as hell, the organizer rob came over and said hello and we had a quick chat which was great as it calmed my nerves and i apreciate it as he was very busy! the people on the run were friendly, and there was no chance of getting lost with all the marshalers, who did a great job and were very cheerful, (plus they had sweets! always a bonus) the route was good with some mud near the end making it more interesting. I dont have any other races of any distance to compair this to, but as far as i can see it was great. Thanks to eveyone involved in planning and running it!Date of review: February 21, 2010
In short: A good race, well organised and fun on the day.Date of review: February 21, 2010
In short: Great run, my first 13 miler, really enjoyed, thanks RobIn full: Interesting to mix road work with running along the beach,lots of rain made for challenging run over miles 11-12 so relief to get back on tarmac for final mile. lots of stewards offering sweets, drinks and encouragement, you did a great job guys well doneDate of review: February 21, 2010
In short: A nice flat course, well organised, friendly atmosphereIn full: My 1st half of the year, pleasantly surprised, well worth the hour & a bit drive to get there. Glad I wore road shoes as only the last bits were a tad muddy - I've run in worse mud at crocc country races so this was not too bad.Date of review: February 21, 2010
In short: Very pleasant, apart from thr weather,but you can't organise that.Date of review: February 21, 2010
In short: Excellent first running - will do it again - thanks for organisingIn full: Really enjoyable, but very muddy in parts - added to the fun but not to the chance of a good time - I think, if it's dry, this could be a fast race. Friendly marshalls, nice route, definite one to do again.Date of review: February 21, 2010
In short: First 8 miles a joy - then the mud kicked in but still a great race although appeared a bit short In full: Plus points - First 8 miles fantastic, even with a bit of head wind and rain. Loved the jelly beans/baby's on route at various points. Very friendly atmosphere.Minus points - Distance appeared to be approx 0.2 miles short. Route map showed a slightly different route on the way back at Southsea Castle, (approx mile 5) looked like we cut the corner off. From then on the mile markers were out of sync. This took the edge off an otherwise great day (unless it was my Garmin that threw a wobbly for the very first time?) I ran past the finish line to make up the shortfall and still got a PB so VERY happy. Will be back next year. Date of review: February 21, 2010
In short: fast, flat course with some tricky boggy/ wet sections!In full: This was a nice run and organisation was good. Friendly marshals and a good supportive crowd. Could have done with the first drink station being a little later or having an extra one in the middle as there was quite a gap between them. A few more toilets would have been nice but i have seen longer queues in other races! Date of review: February 21, 2010
In short: Boggy in places but very well marshalled and set up definately worth a go!Date of review: February 21, 2010
In short: muddy, but funIn full: I really enjoyed this run, wish i had worn trial shoes though!! even the rain held off for most of it. Great goody bag and this is the friendliest race that i have done. A plus for me was the toilets, as i need to go when i run!Marshalling was spot on, in fact it is difficult to find fault with any of it!!! well done to all, organizers, helpers and runners.Date of review: February 21, 2010

- Projector Global Home
- Product Line-up
- Excellent TCO and Flexible Installation
The new LED/Laser-combined light source in the SOLID SHINE Series projectors provides approximately 20,000 hours* of operation with no lamp or filter replacement needed. This dramatically lowers maintenance costs and labor.
A highly durable system has been achieved with an originally designed, efficient cooling system for the new light source, and a dust-proof structure. You get stable operation and solid reliability for a long period of time.
System capabilities such as a 2x zoom lens, an exceptionally wide lens shift range, and 360-degree installation support highly flexible installation. DIGITAL LINK also enables long-distance digital transmission with a single cable.
*A guideline for light source replacement. The maintenance-free period may be shortened due to environmental conditions.
2x Zoom Lens
The 2x optical zoom lens provides a wide throw range.
For a 120-inch-diagonal wide screen, the projection distance extends from approximately 3.9 m (12.8 ft) to approximately 7.8 m (25.7 ft).*
* For the PT-RZ370. PT-RW330 supports projection distance from 4.0 to 8.0 meters (13.1 to 26.2 feet) for a 120-inch screen (16:10 aspect ratio).
Horizontal / Vertical Lens Shift
The wide shift range accommodates various room sizes and shapes.
When lights or ventilation holes are located in the ceiling mounting site, you can simply relocate the projector to avoid them.
This illustration shows the vertical/horizontal lens shift (possible projector setting range) of the PT-RZ370 when mounted to the ceiling.
NOTE: This illustration shows the vertical/horizontal lens shift of the PT-RZ370 when placed on a desktop.
Flexible 360-Degree Installation
The projectors can be rotated vertically. This means you can install one at any up-and-down angle you want, to accommodate different installation conditions.
Lens-Centered Design
A lens-centered, symmetrical design provides ease of installation, eliminating the need for any special considerations when planning the installation site.
Equipped with a DIGITAL LINK terminal, the PT-RZ370/RW330 allows transmission of HDMI, uncompressed HD digital video, audio and control signals (Ethernet, RS-232C) for up to 100 meters (328 feet) through a single CAT5e (STP) cable or higher. This simplifies cabling and system upgrades, making it ideal for ceiling-mounted and other permanent installations.
Optional ET-YFB100G Digital Interface Box for Easy Setup
By combining the optional ET-YFB100G Digital Interface Box, with its HDMI and other input terminals, uncompressed HD digital video, audio and control signals can be transmitted up to 100 m (328 feet) over a single CAT5e (STP) cable or higher. It allows projector connection with only one cable, making it ideal for ceiling-mounted and other permanent installations.
Also, because control signals can be simultaneously transmitted, the ET-YFB100G input signal can easily be switched with the wireless remote control that is included with the projector. The projector can be controlled by either serial or LAN communication.
Also Supports Other Manufacturers' Peripheral Equipment
DIGITAL LINK is an original function added to HDBaseT™ technology. Signals from the ET-YFB100G can also be relayed to a non-DIGITAL LINK-ready projector by using another manufacturer's equipment based on the same technology.*
* Input selection and other ET-YFB100G operations can be performed only when connecting to a DIGITAL LINK compatible projector.
Note: HDBaseT™ is a trademark of the HDBaseT Alliance.
The ET-YFB100G includes a scaling/resizing function, and can be operated by the projector's remote control.
Interfaces include HDMI and DVI-I inputs. The serial terminal (RS-232C) has an Emulate function that lets you continue using existing control systems when replacing previous Panasonic models. It is also possible to output audio during STANDBY MODE.* This is convenient when connecting an external audio system through the projector.** A closed caption decoder is built in.
* Requires menu selection.
** Audio monitoring requires external speakers and an audio amplifier.
Note: HDMI, the HDMI Logo, and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing LLC in the United States and other countries.
Web browser on a computer connected through a wired LAN system lets you remotely operate projectors and check their status. An e-mail messaging function can also notify you the overall projector status.
In addition, Multi Projector Monitoring and Control Software is available for monitoring and controlling multiple Panasonic projectors from a single PC.
The wired LAN terminal is compatible with PJLink™ (class1), an open protocol that is used by many manufacturers, to enable integrated control of systems that contain different brands of projectors.
The LAN terminal allows a computer connected to the network to use Crestron Connected™ application software to manage and control system devices.
Besides, the AMX Device Discovery technology is built in the

For Marine Sgt. Kirstie Ennis, nothing is 'too hard to overcome'
U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant Kirstie Ennis with Wounded Warrior West, from Milton, Fla., practice cycling during the 2013 All-Marine Warrior Games team training camp on Fort Carson, in Colorado Springs, Colo. She will compete at the 2013 Warrior Games presented by Deloitte, May 11-16.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — With the start of the Warrior Games presented by Deloitte one week from today, U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant Kirstie Ennis offers these words to her fellow competitors: "There is nothing in life that is too hard to overcome."
Ennis, a 6199 aerial gunner, was in a tragic helicopter crash in June 2012. "We were flying through Azad Afghanistan when we encountered a couple of complications and we ended up crashing," said Ennis.
She was eventually evacuated to Landsthul, Germany, then Walter Reed Army Medical Center, now Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, and finally Balboa Naval Medical Center in San Diego.
"Upon the crash I broke three of the cervical discs in my spine, broke bones in my face, lost all my teeth, my jaw, had a replaced shoulder and a left leg limb salvage," said Ennis.
To date Ennis has had over 15 surgeries to correct the injuries that she sustained in the crash, but none of that slows her down. She continues to tell herself and newly injured Marines, "your injuries or illness may be unfortunate; however, you can handle it. You have come this far and yet you are still here. There is nothing you can't handle."
She pays tribute to her doctors, family, and fellow wounded warriors for her swift recovery.
"We all know that we need each other, and we all are there to help each other and make sure that everyone progresses in their recovery," said Ennis on the support of her fellow Marines at the All-Marine Warrior Games training camp. The Marines arrived in Colorado two weeks prior to the Games in order to acclimate to the area.
Ennis will compete in cycling and swimming during the 2013 Warrior Games, which is May 11-16 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center and United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo.
"I am very competitive. I feed off of everybody else's emotions. To see everyone else working hard makes me want to work just as hard."
The Warrior Games is an annual event to elevate wounded, ill and injured service member and veteran's abilities through athletic competition. Deloitte is the presenting sponsor of the six-day event, which is also supported by the Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, USO, Fisher House Foundation, AT&T, BP, Budweiser and the Semper Fi Fund.
"It is a great way to raise awareness of the wounded warriors, instill healthy competition between the branches, empower all of us, instill teamwork and unit cohesion," said Ennis.
"It is absolutely amazing to be here. We all need each other. We all thrive, empower, and motivate each other. Without the guys on my left and right, female as well, I would not be here."

Western Digital on Tuesday announced the debut of WD Red NAS hard drives specifically designed for home and small office NAS (network attached storage) systems with one to five drive bays. Compatibility-tested with top NAS box manufacturers and optimized for power efficiency and high performance in NAS conditions.
"Until now, customers had to choose between using desktop or high-end server drives for their home or small office NAS systems – neither of which were both cost effective for consumer solutions and fully NAS compatible. WD saw this challenge as a perfect opportunity to design a better solution so we developed WD Red drives, an optimized product for this rapidly growing segment," said Melyssa Banda, senior director of product marketing for WD.
WD Red hard drives are now shipping in 3.5" form-factor with 1TB, 2TB and 3TB capacities.

The WD Red drives consume from 0.6W to 4.4W of power.
The WD Red line features NASware technology, designed to improve reliability and system performance, reduce customer downtime and to simplify the integration process. This new product line addresses the unique environment of NAS and the growing demand for affordable, reliable and compatible storage that reduces customer total cost of ownership. WD Red hard drives also feature 3D Active Balance Plus, an enhanced balance control technology, which significantly improves the overall drive performance and reliability. In an exclusive for WD Red customers, WD is offering free premium 24x7 dedicated support and a three-year limited warranty.
"The network attached entry level storage market is poised to grow at an 86.2% 2011-2016 CAGR. WD's new WD Red hard disk drives offer a unique combination of product features and customer support for users seeking to expand the capacity of their entry-level network attached storage solutions," said to John Rydning, IDC's research vice president for hard disk drives.
WD Red hard drives integrate seamlessly with WD NAS solutions and are qualified to work with a wide array of WD OEM partners. An updated list of WD Red-qualified products and manufacturers is available on the WD web-site.
WD Red hard drives are available now at select resellers and distributors. Manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for the WD Red 1TB drive is $109, the 2 TB drive is $139 and the 3 TB drive is $189.

Execution by robot?Posted Friday, January 4, 2008, at 6:59 AM
Haven't done a Friday Five in awhile, so five quick thoughts:
*An Associated Press story about unmanned aircraft being used to kill insurgents in Iraq made me wonder if executions in the United States could be carried out by robots.
How ironic that would be. A human being executed for an inhumane act by a non-human.
*The Tennessee Titans (and their fans) had better be glad kicker Rob Bironas is around. Without his foot, they'd be at home -- and off the field -- this weekend.
* What happened to radar detectors? While driving from Shelbyville to Tullahoma a few days ago I didn't see any in oncoming cars (yes, I was watching the road...)
During the 1980s and 1990s it seems like nearly every car -- including police officers' personal vehicles -- had radar detectors.
*On Christmas Eve we heard Chuck Berry's "Run, Rudolph, Run" (which is actually sung "run, run, Rudolph") on a newsroom radio.
Too bad we never hear Chuck's other songs the rest of the year. One of rock's early innovators, to whom today's guitarists owe a debut of gratitude, has been forgotten...
*Speaking of rock's innovators, remember former Moore County resident Little Richard?
On Fergie's new hit, "Clumsy," you'll hear a sample of Little Richard's song, "The Girl Can't Help It" from 1956.
Listen for the "hook" in the background: "Girl can't help it, the girl can't help it..." That's from his song -- but he's not heard, just some background singers. And I'd bet few people know it.
Recognizing uses of sampling is one of the advantages of listening to lots of new music (actually, I like my new rock a little harder-edged than Fergie) while still listening to the old stuff many people ignore. It's all good ... well, most of it, anyway...

Didn't know he had been a Moore County resident. Details please.

I was actually thinking Little Richard lived in Tullahoma. That's what I was told by his nephew who used to work at Crocket's.
-- Posted by LauraSFT on Fri, Jan 4, 2008, at 12:10 PM
Little Richard lived in Moore County with another family member for several years and was a regular visitor at KFC here. I've been told he's since moved to Nashville because too many people found out where he lived.

I didn't know Little Richard lived in Tennessee at all. I do remember hearing that James Brown had money in a bank in Manchester. Someone had seen him and some bodyguards go in the bank there.

I remember he came to town for a funeral a few years back.
As for the robots, "they" are saying OTHER things we can do with robots also. Gross!

Good read, regarding robots, by the year 2029 according to Moore's Law, robots will have the intelligence of humans, wonder if that means they can sin and make mistakes too?
And as a side twist, by the same year, our brains will have the capacity to interface with computers via a bio-tech connector.

Located on the first floor of the historic Broome County Courthouse, it houses approximately 7,000 titles in over 70,000 volumes including print and non-print formats (microform, CD-ROM, audio, and video)
In addition to its Federal and New York State primary materials, West's Regional Reporters, the law review collection, and a well-rounded collection of general practice treatises, the library maintains a small general Pennsylvania collection due to its proximity to the bordering state.
The staff provide service to the entire Sixth District judicial and non-judicial personnel as well as to libraries of all types across the State and the U.S.
Our collection, as well as those of the other court law libraries in New York State, is available online via the NYS Trial Court Libraries Catalog.
Any person who has registered at any of the New York State Court Law Libraries may borrow circulating materials from the Supreme Court Library at Binghamton subject to the circulation rules of this library.
Borrower registration forms may be obtained from the staff at any NYS Law Library. At least one form of identification (including but not limited to a valid NYS driver's license, Attorney Registration number, or student identification number) AND proof of current address must be presented in person. Proper identification must be presented in order to borrow any materials.
Most circulating items, unless otherwise specified, may be borrowed for a single two-week period (14 days) with one seven-day renewal.
The law library will attempt to obtain books and other library materials through interlibrary loan. Although the library staff will strive to obtain materials at no cost to the patron, any charges for the loan of materials are determined by the lending library and are passed on to the patron initiating the loan request. The patron will be notified as to any charges prior to finalization of the loan.
The Law Library staff can provide directional, bibliographic, and reference assistance. The law library staff may not select forms; explain civil or criminal procedures; interpret statutes, cases, or court rules; or assist in the preparation of documents to either bring or defend an action. The staff of the library is prohibited from rendering any advice, opinion, or interpretation of the law. Some library materials are available in microform. The library has two microform reader/printers in the A/V room. Copies made from microforms are free of charge.
There are two public access workstations located in the main library for accessing online legal resources. The library staff will provide instructional materials and/or basic instruction in using these materials but may not conduct research for the user. The library also has a wireless access point so patrons may use their own devices.
A vendor-owned copy machine is located in the library. This machine will accept cash or copy cards. Copies are 15¢ each (10¢ each with a copy card). Copy cards cost 50¢ each and are available in various denominations at the front desk.

The oldest legislative activates in Colorado have primarily dealt with renewable energy deployment and permitting, such as solar wind and energy-efficiency access laws that prohibit residential covenants that restrict access. The solar portion dates back to 1979 and was expanded to other technologies in 2008. (HB 08-1270)
2008 saw the adoption of solar and wind permitting standards, primarily to prevent counties and municipalities from charging a prohibitively high a cost to permit. (SB 08-117) [3, 4]
In 2004 a renewable-energy ballot initiative was approved by Colorado voters to have the Public Utilities Commission adopt standards for net metering, since that time the house and senate have each made several changes in 2008 and 2009.
In 2007 smart grid deployment in Colorado became a key legislative issue. The Colorado legislature directed the Public Utilities Commission to direct all utilities to develop demand response programs and file a report describing their demand side management program yearly. (HB 07-1037) [5]
In 2007 Colorado enacted legislation to allow counties and municipalities to offer incentives to residential and commercial property owners for renewable energy. (SB 07-145) [2]
Colorado Public Utilities Commission started reviewing small scale distributed generators in 1982. This eventually grew to include net metering in 2005 after voters approved a renewable-energy ballot initiative in 2004. By 2009 the Commission approved Time of Use for industrials and approved demand side management cost adjustments for pilot projects involving demand side management but without their own rate schedule. [6, 7, 8]
"In March 2008, the Colorado Public Utilities Commission decided not to adopt PURPA Standard 14 ("Time-Based Metering and Communications") as enacted in EPACT 2005. The Commission stated that its decision is based in part on the fact that the Public Service Company of Colorado is building (with Xcel Energy) the Smart Grid City in Boulder, CO, and that Aquila Networks intends to deploy AMI in the City of Pueblo. Furthermore, the Commission said that it intends to consider "issues related to Smart Metering, among other issues, in an upcoming investigatory docket." As a result, the Commission determined "that implementation of the Smart Metering standard is not appropriate at this time."" [1]
Time-of-Use rates break the cost for electricity into periods with demand and energy priced on-peak or off-peak.
Demand side management rider is charged to all rate schedules approved to make up costs associated with pilot projects dealing with demand side management where a customer signs up to allowing specific electrical equipment to be interrupted.
Net metering is available for any customer's facility where energy production exceeds the energy supplied by the Company.
Distributed generators include qualifying cogeneration and small power production facilities where prices are based on the Company's avoided cost of energy.

Colorado has a state sales tax incentive that counties and municipalities can offer sales tax rebates or credits to residential and commercial property owners for renewable energy. The state also has a state rebate program on photovoltaics and wind for commercial and residential customers. Several local utilities also offer rebates for renewable energy installation.

Avoiding the winter blahs
The holidays are a great time of year, especially for children.
The lights, packages, parties, and new toys. Excitement is in the air.
January is a different story.
In January, children often feel let-down as life returns to a routine of school, homework, ordinary family life, and the winter blahs.
Fortunately, there are ways to help.
Parenting experts offer the following tips:
– Spend a few minutes discussing their feelings. Saying something like, "Wasn't it fun to have all your cousins over? You sure seemed to enjoy ice-skating, too. What's it feel like now that all the activities are over?" Sometimes simply letting your children verbalize their feelings helps put things in perspective.
– Plan a few low-cost special activities. Suggest the family have a game night every Tuesday or eat dinner by candlelight. One mother used leftover holiday candles at the breakfast table. Since it was still dark when her children ate breakfast, the candles created a warm cozy feeling to start the day.
– Encourage children to think about others. Food banks and homeless shelters experience a dramatic drop off in donations after the holidays. Look for ways that children can help by donating toys, serving meals or visiting with residents of a nursing home. Children can also help with a local fund-raising drive for needy families. Thinking of others is the best way to build a child's confidence by putting the emphasis on other people.
– Spend "floor time" with your child. This simply means you sit on the floor and let your child direct the activity. For parents it is difficult not to say, "Let's use the blocks to build a garage." Instead, keep quiet and simply respond to your child. Braid doll hair, race cars under the table or color in a traditional coloring book. The point is to give your child undivided attention doing what they want.
– Increase your child's physical activity. Here in the Upper Peninsula, we have a tendency to stay inside during cold winter weather. Put those snow clothes to good use and get outside. We've got some snow. Enjoy it. Take brisk walks around the neighborhood. The additional physical activity lessens the amount of time watching TV or on the computer. The entire family benefits from old-fashioned fresh air and exercise.
The winter blues can be a very real problem parents as well.
With their added stress and unwavering focus on their children, the winter doldrums may hit parents extra hard.
The winter blues can be worse for stay-at-home parents because of isolation from other adults.
Experts offer the following tips to help shake the blues:
– Get support from other adults. Spend time with your spouse, your neighbors, your family or your friends.
– Get some sleep. If you can't achieve eight hours of sleep, steal moments to nap during the day or early evening. Ignoring rest for too long can dramatically affect a parent's physical and mental well-being.
– Exercise. Exercise lowers risk of heart disease, colon cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity and stroke. In a survey of regular exercisers, 54 percent said exercise helped their stress levels and 60 percent said it boosted their self-esteem.
– Laugh. William James said, "We don't laugh because we're happy. We are happy because we laugh." It's true. A well-developed sense of humor can keep a person even-keel during stressful moments.
– Try something new. Volunteer, join a book club, see a play or start a journal. Partake in some adult activities.
Parents need to take a lesson in self-care.
In severe cases, parents should seek professional care if symptoms include exhaustion, hopelessness, agitation, depression or anxiety.

In Search Of...Adoption: Part 1
A West Salem Couples Life is Changed By Adoption
WEST SALEM, Wis. -- Clint and Kymberly West's adoption story actually starts as a love story. "He lived upstairs in a house and I lived in the downstairs apartment and we just kind of bumped in to each other one day. She couldn't resist me."
Kymberly was just 19 and Clint was 23 when their whirlwind romance began. "I think I fell for him because he's just so happy and positive and encouraging. I've just never been around anyone like that before. He was kind of a breath of fresh air." "When I met Kymberly I was like, 'That chick is smokin' hot.' And when she would listen to me she would turn her whole body around and it made me feel like, 'wow. I must have something really smart to say.' I felt like - that could be a great teammate right there."
One year later - they said 'I do.' "We got married the day after I turned 20. My mom was like, 'you cannot get until your 20.' So we waited until the day after!"
Kids were always on the horizon for Clint and Kymberly and they didn't wait long to start their family. On September 14th, 2004, little Ever West arrived to open all be it 'nervous' arms. "I wasn't the girl that babysat a lot. I just remember them saying, 'talk to your baby.' And I was like, uh....I don't know what to say!'" "It awakened a part of me that I didn't know was there."4447768
And two years later on January 9th, 2006, their son Boaz David joined the gang. "He was voted most unique name of 2006 at the Gundersen Lutheran Hospital. It was in the newspaper. He's pretty much famous. You've probably heard of him."
Now from the start, Clint and Kymberly talked about adopting someday. "There was somehow this hankering. There are 100 million orphans out there and we can't adopt them all...but we can make a dent."
And yet something was holding them back, until they watched their neighbors welcome home an adopted child. "It's a scary thing, 'am I going to feel the same? Our family's going to look so different.' It's a scary thing to think about until you see it and then you think, 'that is the most amazing thing I have ever seen.' It was such a cool thing to watch."
In January of 2008 they started the adoption process and just four months later, 'we got a call on Saturday morning. Hey we have a baby boy in Chicago. You can come pick him up.'
Onesimus Andrew West, named after a man in the bible was born May 30th, 2008. "It's a big name and I think he's gonna grow into it."
Holding Onesimus brought instant joy, but it also brought an added pressure they hadn't experienced with their other children. "The weight of, she thinks we're going to do a better job than her. That's a weight I still carry today. She's entrusted this life to us and she doesn't even know us." "From getting Onesemus on kind of changed my mothering because if he would cry in the middle of the night it was like, 'I get to go get you.' For some reason I get to be your mom. It was a privilege to get him when he was crying or to hold him or to take care of him."
Such a privilege that in 2009 Clint and Kymberly wanted to do it again. "So I go online and I find this ad for this baby that's due that same day. And I call Clint and I said - I think we're going to have to go to Texas by Sunday. This was on a Friday and we had to be there on a Sunday. We all hopped into a car - all of us and his mom and drove to Texas and snagged him up."
"We were negotiating to Dallas all the way about the name. But he always gets to pick the names..."
On December 4th, 2009, Rock William stole their hearts. "Seeing him for the first time I was like, 'he's mine.'"
Four children. Two biological, two adopted, all equally loved. But for Clint and Kim...something was still missing. And it turns out that 'something' was waiting for them on the other side of the world.
Tune in next Thursday at 6 p.m. to see the conclusion of the West adoption story!

When you install CUBRID for the first time and try to connect to it using CUBRID Manager (CM) client tool, the username and password to login are admin/admin. Right after the first connection, CM Server will require to change the password. Once you change it, CM will ask if you want to reconnect with the new credentials. You do so and continue.
When the admin's password has been changed, CM Server will store it on the host machine in $CUBRID/conf/cm.pass where $CUBRID is a directory where CUBRID is installed. Originally for admin user and admin password it contains the following information:
The password part in the above line will change when you change your admin password.
Sometimes it happens that you do not remember the admin password and want to reset it manually. In this case, open this cm.pass file and reset the password to admin by replacing the existing content of the file with the above line as it was when you tried to login for the first time. This way you can reset your administrator's password and can login with admin/admin. Once logged in, do not forget to change your password to something secure.
Also you should remember that all CUBRID files under $CUBRID directory must have proper file permissions so that no one except you could change the administrator's password. Otherwise, you may run into serious problems.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Bull Market, Better Economy
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Think the economy isn't getting better? Think again. That was Jim Cramer's lesson to his "Mad Money" TV show viewers Thursday.
Cramer said it's no coincidence that as the markets are hitting new five-year highs, unemployment in our country is hitting five-year lows.
Things are indeed getting better, said Cramer, and when things get better, investors are willing to pay up for corporate earnings. The logic is simple: More demand equals higher prices, which in turn means better gross margins and ultimately more earnings on the bottom line.
That's why investors are willing to pay up for Bristol Myers-Squibb (BMY) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) , said Cramer, and why they're willing to pay up for oil stocks like Schlumberger (SLB) and pretty much anything and everything that goes into a home, car or plane.
Cramer said the only confusing sector in this multiple expansion period is tech. What are investors willing to pay for Apple's (AAPL) slowing growth? Not as much as before, said Cramer, who owns Apple for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS. Cramer said the markets are now valuing Apple alongside Intel (INTC) and Microsoft (MSFT) .
But as Apple declines, investors are taking those profits and rolling into other tech names, stocks like Amazon.com (AMZN) , Facebook (FB) , Google (GOOG) and Netflix (NFLX) . Are these the new "four horsemen" of tech? Cramer said they might be.
When it comes to the market, Cramer said the current prices of stocks are just wrong. As things get better, stocks are worth more, he said, which is why the market continues to rally higher.
Executive Decision
In the "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer checked in with Jim Griffith, president and CEO of Timkin (TKR) , the steel maker that delivered an earnings beat of 16 cents a share earnings Thursday. Shares of Timkin are up 34% since Cramer last featured them on location in Ohio on Oct. 18.
Griffith said Timkin is a very different company than it was just a few years ago. He characterized the company not merely as a steel maker but as a technology company bringing knowledge and know-how to its customers.
Griffith said that 30% of the products his company makes didn't exist just a few years ago. With that level of innovation and execution, Timkin can deliver earnings power even at only 50% factory utilization.
Griffith was also bullish on Asia, particularly in China, where he said government stimulus is starting to translate into orders for Timkin. He said things are also picking up in India, another big market for the company. Here at home, Griffith noted that low U.S. energy prices are driving profitability for his company as well as for its customers.

quote harbin91If he's a student, I'd say he's probably gonna use this laptop primarily for school work, which would be ideal for a Chromebook because it saves documents to the cloud, meaning he could access his documents from any computer. Also, AFAIK, most colleges and universities have internet access throughout their campuses, so I doubt that connectivity would be an issue. Even so, Chromebooks can still function while offline (google docs WILL work, IIRC).That would largely depend on what he needs the laptop for. Chromebook is fine for largely browsing the internet and listening to music but since everything sits in the cloud he would require constant internet access. I know it uses a version of Linux but I'm not entirely sure how it works if you lose connectivity. If he was gonna use a Linux OS then I'd recommend something else than that TBH.
quote hiigaranIf I can make payments it doesn't really matter. I don't mind paying for something nice. But as far as cash in hand only a couple hundred bucks.so how much money are you willing to spend?
