Zephaniah Chapter 1 - New American Standard Bible
Zephaniah Chapter 1 - New American Standard Bible
1. THE word of the LORD which came to Zephaniah son of Cushi, son of Gedaliah, son of Amariah, son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah:
2. �I will completely remove all things From the face of the [1] earth,� declares the LORD.
3. �I will remove man and beast; I will remove the birds of the sky And the fish of the sea, And the [3] ruins along with the wicked; And I will cut off man from the face of the [2] earth,� declares the LORD.
4. �So I will stretch out My hand against Judah And against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, And the names of the idolatrous priests along with the priests.
5. �And those who bow down on the housetops to the host of heaven, And those who bow down and swear to the LORD and yet swear by [4] Milcom,
6. And those who have turned back from following the LORD, And those who have not sought the LORD or inquired of Him.�
7. [6] Be silent before the Lord [5] GOD! For the day of the LORD is near, For the LORD has prepared a sacrifice, He has consecrated His guests.
8. �Then it will come about on the day of the LORD'S sacrifice That I will punish the princes, the king's sons And all who clothe themselves with foreign garments.
9. �And I will punish on that day all who leap on the temple threshold, Who fill the house of their [7] lord with violence and deceit.
10. �On that day,� declares the LORD, �There will be the sound of a cry from the Fish Gate, A wail from the [8] Second Quarter, And a loud crash from the hills.
11. �Wail, O inhabitants of the [10] Mortar, For all the [9] people of Canaan will be silenced; All who weigh out silver will be cut off.
12. �It will come about at that time That I will search Jerusalem with lamps, And I will punish the men Who are [11] stagnant in spirit, Who say in their hearts, "The LORD will not do good or evil!'
13. �Moreover, their wealth will become plunder And their houses desolate; Yes, they will build houses but not inhabit them, And plant vineyards but not drink their wine.�
14. Near is the great day of the LORD, Near and coming very quickly; Listen, the day of the LORD! [12] In it the warrior cries out bitterly.
15. A day of wrath is that day, A day of trouble and distress, A day of destruction and desolation, A day of darkness and gloom, A day of clouds and thick darkness,
16. A day of trumpet and battle cry Against the fortified cities And the high corner towers.
17. I will bring distress on men So that they will walk like the blind, Because they have sinned against the LORD; And their blood will be poured out like dust And their flesh like dung.
18. Neither their silver nor their gold Will be able to deliver them On the day of the LORD'S wrath; And all the earth will be devoured In the fire of His jealousy, For He will make a complete end, Indeed a terrifying one, Of all the inhabitants of the earth.[read chapter]

What say you, people of Cage Warriors Scotland Forum?
What say you, people of Cage Warriors Scotland Forum?
Not a fan of the twitter injokes making the rankings. It devalues them IMO.
Apart from that not much you can argue with except putting Stevie ahead of Delaney after 1 fight at the weight but the argument about his achievements at WW is valid.
Good to see you're back, cheers for opinions.
Seems weird that turner is below whiteford in Their division but is above him in the pound for pound.
Fuck no-gi
What are Bart and Dave Campbells records?
Lightweight - I think Bobby should be below Galbraith, Armstrong and possibly Stevenson just now. Galbraith is coming off a win, however controversial it may be. Graham Armstrong coming off a good win. Adam Stevenson in many peoples opinions won the fight with Galbraith and at the very least put in a solid performance against Turner. All 3 have positive records too.
Granted lightweight is a nightmare.
Some fights I'd like to see:
Reilly vs Goodall
Wright vs Ray
Henry vs McCauley
Armstrong vs Stevenson
Caldwell/Taylor vs Quinn/Hope
I would ban the triangle choke, the refuge of cowards everywhere.
Bobby's a tough one to rank, his recent losses are all to very good fighters (Lax, Downes, etc). Him vs Galbraith should clear things up a bit.
I think Wright's going to 66. Taylor's trained at the Grip and D-Unit so not sure if those fights would happen.
Caldwell vs Quinn would be awesome, hope that comes off at some stage. Henry vs McCauley would be a great fight.
Cheers for opinions.

How platforms are transforming building energy efficiencies
How platforms are transforming building energy efficiencies
Last week's, VERGE conference explored how innovation in energy, building and transportation technologies is transforming sustainability to generate "radical efficiencies."
Innovation was the buzzword as discussions throughout the conference showcased a transformative vision: "the future of sustainability is about data.
To that end, HackCity opened the conference on the theme "hacking to scale" showcasing how start-up ingenuity can be developed for commercialization. OnStar and Panoptix by Johnson Controls were sponsors for HackCity which offered participants prizes in total over $7,000.
At the event, Johnson Controls announced the official launch of the Panoptix App Marketplace as a avenue for commercializing third-party and JCI building efficiency applications, underscoring the growing interest in platforms for energy efficiency.
At the event, I moderated a panel on just that topic: "Platforms for Accelerating Energy Efficiency." I joined Dave Bartlett of IBM, Domenic Armano of First Fuel, Scott Harmon with Noesis Energy, Sonal Kemkar from the White House CEQ, and Michael Murray of Lucid to discuss how social platforms and data enable information-sharing and the tools and best practices needed to promote energy efficiency. In this context, platforms are online communities where information can be shared, products can be reviewed and in some circumstances there is a marketplace to commercialize smart building solutions.
One idea discussed is that the industry is heavily focused on new technologies, tools and applications to promote energy efficiency, but there is a lack of focus on the people who will ultimately use smart building technologies. There are two specific ways platforms can help the industry overcome the people challenge to advance the adoption of smart building technologies.
Authentication of tools: Peer-to-peer platforms provide an avenue for operators and other stakeholders to share information and perspectives on solutions in the market. The information exchange between building professionals can help a potential smart building technology customer determine which tools are most effective and/or best suited for their particular facility or portfolio. The ability to share information between end users rather than between vendors and end users provides objective assessment of new technologies and can promote the adoption of smart building solutions.
Demonstration of vendor credibility: VERGE highlighted the level and amount of innovation in smart building technologies coming from the startup community. Platforms can also play an important role in promoting the adoption of smart building technologies by providing a go-to-market channel that gives small startups the visibility and credibility necessary to scale.
The platform theme discussed highlighted a new enabler in the transformation of facilities to smart buildings. Looking at the momentum of several high profile social platforms for buildings featured at VERGE -- namely Panoptix, Noesis Energy and Honest Buildings -- showcases the value in providing tools and communities to accelerate adoption. Indeed, platforms have a significant role to play in the energy efficiency and smart buildings market as we are seeing in other segments of the economy.

Pharrell Williams explains why he looks so good at 40!
Listen to Pharrell on iHeartRadio
Pharrell Williams is NOT a vampire.
Funny as it sounds, that was all that folks tweeted and Facebooked about this weekend, after seeing the musician perform again and see just how dang-on youthful he looks. The whole vampire thing — it's actually a top google search, believe it or not! — bubbled up to be so big, that an interviewer at TimeOut magazine actually asked the 40-year-old to clear up any rumors about him actually being a vampire!
His response? Brace yourselves!
"No I am not. I'm willing to go on record as saying that I don't drink people's blood. How do I stay so young-looking for a 40-year-old? I wash my face," he said.
Boom. Wash your faces, y'all.

However, [Tim] "Berners-Lee and [Nigel] Shadbolt are hopeful that earlier statements and commitments by members of the new government to open government data indicate that support for open-linked data initiatives will continue, despite the cuts. They believe that the http://data.gov.uk website, a similar initiative to the U.S. government's www.data.gov portal, will continue to grow over the coming months. The U.S. service now has more than 270,000 data sets available for developers. The U.K. version is somewhat smaller with a little more than 3,000 data sets."

SANTA FE SPRINGS - A former employee of the Bumble Bee seafood processing plant where an employee died last week after he was cooked in an oven said Monday that only "a bad mistake" could have caused the fatal accident.
Ralph Contreras, 45, of Norwalk, who worked in that area of the plant more than a decade ago, said he was surprised to hear of the accident involving Jose Melena, 62, of Wilmington, a six-year employee of the business, 13100 Arctic Circle Drive.
The plant, which has 300 employees and has been at the site since February 1990, reopened Monday after being closed since the accident Thursday morning.
"Somebody must have made a bad mistake for that to happen," said Contreras, who was a temporary employee at the plant for a year. "If you do things right, that's not going to happen."
Erika Ulring, a spokeswoman for Bumble Bee, said company officials didn't want to comment on what Contreras said.
Contreras said he worked in the tuna-cooking area, where Melena must have been.
There always are supposed to be three people with three machines in that area, he said.
And when one leaves - even if just to go to the restroom - someone else comes in to take their place, Contreras said.
Each employee wears a hard hat, ear plugs, safety glasses, a belt to support the back and rubber boots, he said.
The cooking process starts after the tuna is canned and is dumped into a metal basket, Contreras said.
Once the basket is full, it is pushed into a tunnel, he said.
But it's so heavy that it takes three men to push into the tunnel where the oven is. The tuna is cooked there and the basket comes out on the other side, Contreras said.
The oven door is then shut and another basket prepared.
"It's teamwork all the way through because there are three machines," he said.
Contreras worked at the plant for a year, quitting when he was passed over for a permanent job, he said.
The state Division of Occupational Safety and Health has launched an investigation said Erika Monterroza, its spokeswoman.
On average, it will take 3 1/2 to four months, but it has to be complete within six months, Monterroza said.
Monterroza said she has no information on the accident other than that Melena died in an oven.
"We'll be looking at all of the facts in regards to the incident," she said.
Once that's done, a report will be made, including a determination of whether there was any violation of state health and safety regulations, Monterroza said.

I know someone who recently bought a high powered pellet riffle with a scope that shoots rounds comparable to .22mm bullets. This is why he bought the gun; He and his buddies set out bait for seagulls, then shoot and kill the birds from an upstairs window, for fun.
Do you guys and gals have any thoughts about that?

Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.

Today's Voting: More Los Angeles City election coverage
The parking lot was filling up this morning at Wilshire United Methodist Church in Hancock Park, which is serving as a city polling place.
But those pulling in weren't voters. They were actors and crew preparing to film the ABC show "Revenge."
This is L.A., after all, where entertainment doesn't stop for democracy.
Aaron Williams, a polling clerk, said the polls were off to the slowest start he'd ever seen. Unlike in past years, no one was waiting to get in when the doors opened at 7 a.m.
Outgoing Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa was the third voter of the morning and found himself nearly alone inside while filling out his ballot. Afterward, he encouraged people to vote, saying he was disappointed by reports of near-empty polling places.
It was the first time in 12 years Villaraigosa didn't vote for himself for mayor. He wasn't saying who he did pick, but revealed some of his other preferences.
The outgoing mayor said he supported M?nica Garcia, Kate Anderson and Antonio Sanchez for the Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education.
He also voted for the Measure A sales tax hike because it will beef up the city's reserves. That put him in opposition to a couple of other voters.
Rudolph Gintel, 65, who owns a retail business, called the tax increase "ludicrous."
"It's destroying the bricks-and-mortar businesses in the city," he said, adding his sales have already fallen 20 to 30 percent recently.
Larry Rosow, 58, called the tax "totally regressive."
"It hurts everybody," he said. "What a bad idea."
Both men said they voted for talk radio host and attorney Kevin James for mayor, with Gintel saying he wanted an outsider because insiders had created too many entitlements.
"I'm very dissatisfied with what's happening at City Hall for the last number of years," Gintel said.
Voters are not only casting ballots for mayor and the LAUSD board, but also for city attorney, city controller, City Council, the Los Angeles Community College District, the Measure A sales tax hike and the Measure B police/fire pension reform.
Local political watchers, however, have called this year's mayoral primary a lackluster election. Part of the reason could be that three of the five candidates are City Hall insiders.
In a poll released Sunday, half of all voters who have picked City Councilman Eric Garcetti and City Controller Wendy Greuel said they may change their minds. Overall, 14 percent of likely voters hadn't decided who to vote for. Besides James, the field also includes City Councilwoman Jan Perry and tech executive Emanuel Pleitez.
Garcetti and Greuel led in the USC/Los Angeles Times poll, but no single top candidate has emerged decisively as a favorite, making much of Election Day today all about voter turnout. With the exception of James, who has a core Republican base, none of the candidates has built up a solid base with specific groups, such as Latino voters, that could propel them to a clear victory.
While the city does not make official voter turnout predictions, the last two mayoral votes have had relatively low turnout.
When Villaraigosa first sought the post in 2005, nearly 29 percent of registered voters turned out. By 2009, when he sought re-election against an underfunded challenger, about 17 percent of the 1.6 million registered voters cast a ballot.
As he prepares to leave office, Villaraigosa said this morning people in L.A. should be more appreciative of the progress the city has made.
"This is a great city, and we need to start believing in it," he said. "There's a lot to celebrate in this town."
He pointed to the vibrancy of Hollywood and downtown and successes such as a huge reduction in the city's structural deficit and historic lows in crime.
Villaraigosa said he'll work hard until he leaves office July 1, but isn't disappointed he can't run for a third term.
Asked how he wants his time as mayor be remembered, he said he'll let history write that judgment.

Mark Reynolds' 10th-inning RBI single helps Indians edge Tigers
DETROIT -- Pinch-hitter Mark Reynolds hit a tiebreaking single in the 10th inning, and the Cleveland Indians beat the Detroit Tigers 4-3 on Sunday.
Cleveland tied it in the ninth when Michael Brantley hit a two-out RBI single off Detroit closer Jose Valverde. Joe Smith (1-0) pitched the bottom of the inning, and the Indians took the lead in the 10th.
With men on first and third and one out in the 10th, Michael Bourn hit a slow grounder to shortstop Jhonny Peralta, who threw home in time to get Asdrubal Cabrera trying to score. But Reynolds followed with a single to left off Darin Downs(0-1).
Rich Hill got the first two outs of the Detroit 10th, and Cody Allen finished for his first career save.
The Indians took two of three from the defending AL champions. Cleveland has not lost any of its last seven series.
The Tigers were prepared to let Valverde leave via free agency in the offseason, but they ended up bringing him back on a minor league deal. He was back in Detroit as the closer by the end of April, and he hadn't allowed a run in five appearances before Sunday.
But he walked two in the ninth before Brantley's tying single.
Detroit threatened in the bottom half when Andy Dirks led off with a single, but Torii Hunter couldn't get a bunt down and ended up hitting into a 1-6-3 double play -- Cabrera had to spin awkwardly near second because of Smith's slightly inaccurate throw, but he made the turn successfully.
That meant Miguel Cabrera had to hit with the bases empty, and his flyout sent the game to extra innings.
Asdrubal Cabrera doubled leading off the 10th and went to third on Nick Swisher's tapper to the pitcher. After Carlos Santanawas intentionally walked, the Tigers got a big out when Asdrubal Cabrera was thrown out at home.
But Reynolds singled to left past a diving Miguel Cabrera, and Santana scored from second.
Brayan Pena homered for the Tigers, and Detroit starter Rick Porcello allowed two runs and four hits. He struck out six and walked two.
Zach McAllister allowed two earned runs and eight hits in six innings for the Indians.
Pena's two-run homer in the second opened the scoring. The Indians tied it the following inning on a two-run double by Jason Kipnis.
Detroit scored an unearned run in the fourth after Cleveland third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall threw wildly to first on Peralta's groundball for a two-base error. Pena's grounder up the middle hit second base for an infield single, and Omar Infante drove in Peralta with a sacrifice fly.
The Tigers had a chance to add to their lead that inning, but with the bases loaded, McAllister got Miguel Cabrera to hit a popup and then struck out Prince Fielder to end the threat.
The Indians wasted chances of their own. Asdrubal Cabrera came up with the bases loaded and one out in the fifth and grounded into a double play. Cleveland started the seventh with a walk and a single off reliever Jose Ortega. Drew Stubbs failed to get a bunt down and struck out, and left-hander Phil Coke came on and got Brantley to bounce into a double play.
McAllister has held opponents to three or fewer earned runs in nine consecutive starts dating to last season. He allowed eight hits, struck out five and walked three Sunday.

Former Korn drummer clarifies recent comments
Former Korn drummer David Silveria is clearing up recent comments he made about the band.
According to Loudwire.com, Silveria recently slammed current Korn drummer Ray Luzier, saying he's the reason the band will "never sound as unique as we used to."
In a Facebook post, Silveria now says he was "not bashing Korn at all." Instead, he explains that the group's "unique sound" actually ended when a "big name producer" started changing the way the recorded songs.
He says their sound was further eroded when they stopped writing music and vocals at the same time. He adds that he'd love to "get back in the rehearsal studio" with Korn to "resurrect the original passion" that made them famous.

FWC: Report Black Bear Sightings
While sightings of black bears may be rare in the Southeastern portion of the state, officials with the state's Wildlife Conservation Commission want you to be on the lookout.
They are seeking the public's help in figuring out where all of the estimated 3,000 Florida black bears are living.
According to the Palm Beach Post, the FWC has confirmed a sighting of a black bear West of Jupiter, near the Corbett Wildlife Management area. While wildlife officials admit that the bears primarily live in the state's preserves, such as Big Cypress near the Southwest coast, they say a male bear's home range can be anywhere from 50 to 120 miles.
Right now, the bears are out searching for food, as they look to pack on the pounds for the winter. The Fish and Wildlife Commission figures if you travel to areas where sightings happen more frequently, you might want to help out.

FONTANA - A Fontana Middle School student was arrested after bringing a cocktail full of explosive chemicals to school earlier this week.
Using a recipe he found on the Internet, the boy on Monday morning put a household cleanser and aluminum foil into a 12-oz. water bottle, resulting in a "minor explosion," Fontana Unified School District Police Chief Billy Green said.
After starting the chemical process, the boy reportedly sealed the bottle and dropped it into a plastic trash can in the the boys' locker room at the school.
The explosion was reported by students.
Witnesses identified one student as the culprit to school administrators.
Although Fontana Unified police and San Bernardino County Fire Department teams investigated the incident, Green said there was no serious risk to either students or property.
The student was arrested for possession of a destructive device and booked into juvenile hall.
Additional disciplinary measures were taken by the district as well.
"I can't give you the discipline," for the privacy of the minor student, "but I can tell you that it was handled appropriately," Fontana Unified Superintendent Cali Olsen-Binks
Although no one was hurt this time, Green warned that the explosion could have easily happened earlier than the boy had expected, injuring him or a witness.
"I don't want to minimize the potential for there being a serious injury," Green said.
"It's completely volatile in terms of there's no predictability in terms of when it'll go off."

This is my first attempt at a script for XBMC. Originally I had set out to provide myself an Dharma version of CDArt Downloader, but then it grew and changed.
Main menu
Album List
Cover Art List
Fan Art List
ClearLOGO List
Viewing Images after Auto Download
Frodo Version available on the official XBMC repo
Latest test version
When updating from 2.7.4 or earlier, please follow these instructions
To fix the errors that may have been introduced by the change on MusicBrainz do the following
- Set 'Enable MusicBrainz ID update during Addon Database update' to on
- Set 'Check Database MBID's to be current during an Update' to on
- Then preform a database update. The script should fix the MBID's that have extra info.
Available through the Official repo

Files & Folders
Path to music library
This path represents the path skins use to access the ClearLOGOs(logo.png), fanart, extrafanart, Artist Thumbnails and Music banners on an artist level. This path does not need to point directly to your music library if you don't want to clutter up your music with ClearLOGOs or extrafanart. You can set up an 'Artwork' path which both your skins and the script will point to.
cdART Backup Folder
This is the path where you would like your cdARTs to be copied to if you use the backup feature from the Advanced menu in the script.
Enable saving of missing.txt file
If enabled, the script will save a missing.txt file at the closing of the script.
Path for missing.txt file - active only if above is turned on.
This is the path where you would like the missing.txt file to be stored. In this file shows the albums/artists that are missing artwork. An 'X' means the art work is there and empty box means there is no artwork on your system
Backup Saving Format
There are two choices here. Artist/Album.png or Artist - Album.png. This is used by the script to name the cdARTs when using one of the backup options from the Advanced menu. Since normally all the cdARTs are named cdart.png the script needs to rename them when storing them in the backup folder.
Custom Colours
This is where you get to select the colouring of the text labels you want displayed within the script.
Extra Settings
Overwrite Low-Res Existing cdARTs
If enabled, the script will look at the resolution of the local cdART and compare it to the one found on fanart.tv. If the local is smaller than 1000x1000 and the one on fanart.tv is 1000x1000 it will download from fanart.tv. This only is used for automatic download, as you can always overwrite when using the manual method. Also Cover Arts(folder.jpg) will always be overwritten as fanart.tv only has the resolution of 1000x1000 available.
Notify During Background Database Build
If enabled, the script will use the XBMC notification popup to show Artist & Album info while the background db is being built. This can be pretty noisy if you have skin sounds turned on.
Notify At End of Background Database Build
If enabled, the script will use the XBMC notification popup to show that the DB is finished being built(it is also displayed for 2 seconds)
Build Database in Background
Clicking on this will start the script building the Database in the Background. This allows you to continue on enjoying XBMC while the script does it's thing. To exit the settings, just click on the 'OK' button.
Update XBMC Thumbnails and Fanarts - Only works with Eden at this moment
This will trigger the script to find all your artwork files(except cdARTs) and overwrite the ones stored in the userdata/Thumbnails/Music folder
Add all artist to Database during Database build or update
If enabled, the script will add/update all the local artist(including those found on compilations) to/in the Database
Enable MusicBrainz ID update during Addon Database update(for missing IDs)
If enabled, the script will update any missing MusicBrainz IDs that may have been missed in the past during a Database Update(useful for those database created with version 2.5.1).
Check Database MBIDs to be current during an Update
If enabled, the script will check the MBIDs for the albums/artists contained in the scripts database against MusicBrainz then if necessary update them to the latest. This will add a lot of time to the update as it takes time to check MusicBrainz
Skins That Feature cdART: - See here for the most uptodate info
Night - all variations(Purity, Neon)
The Carmichael
Aeon MQ 2 & 3
Alaska Revisited MOD
Cirrus - all variations - though it spins too fast and not proportioned nicely to album cover
Aeon Nox
There may be other skins that can display cdART with mods. If you see one, please post the thread link and I'll have it posted here for all to see...

Steps for reporting problems/bugs
I'm not trying to be rude, or negative, but when reporting a bug or a problem you are having please follow the following....
Step 1: Put XBMC into Debug Mode - link
Step 2: Restart XBMC
Step 3: If you have addons that run automatically at start of XBMC(Sharethe.TV, Weather.com Plus, etc.) wait a few minutes for these scripts to run
Step 4: Run cdART Manager
Step 5: Upload your FULL xbmc.log file to pastebin.com
Method 1:
Use the XBMC Log Script
Method 2:
Manually locate your xbmc.log file - see Here for location
Copy and paste xbmc.log to pastebin.com
If you feel you have private information that you don't want the public be able to see, setup an account on pastebin.com and store it as a private paste.
Step 6: Create a new forum message on this thread, which contains steps to reproduce, your pastebin url
Using these steps will allow me to find the problem and repair it for the next release.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first you can also use XBMC Log Uploader Script.

For those who make their own cdARTs I thought I might give a little example of one of the reasons I created this script. I doubt I'm the only one that does this. When I sit down to make my missing cdARTs I do them in batches 40-50 at a time. So adding them to the album folders gets quite tedious(ok, I'm a bit lazy.. ) With this script, they can be added quite easily. Here's how.
When creating the cdARTs save them in a folder in one of the two following ways:
Artist/Album.png <- where the artist and the album matches the ID3tag info that xbmc builds the library off of.
ACDC/Live - CD 1.png (for us linux users)
ACDC\Live - CD 1.png (for the Windows users)
artist - album.png
acdc - live - cd 1.png
both these are case dependent. the first way the folder/filename needs to match the ID3Tag(beware of non-standard characters like the slash brothers(aka forward '/' and backward '\' slashes) this get interpreted as new folders when the files are written.) The second, everything needs to be in lower case. Both ways work correctly, though the second way probably is the easiest.
Now run the script. First go to the Settings option. While in the Settings screen, set the Backup folder to the one you created the cdARTs into. Next set the File format to the one you used, select OK to save the setting and leave the screen. Now select the cdART Backup option in the Advance menu. When your ready, click the Restore from Backup option.
The program then takes over and starts copying the files from the backup folder to the Album folders(as long as you have write permissions set so XBMC can write to those folders. Which you should otherwise the program will fail on any of the downloading options) If all goes well(it should - though spelling mistakes happen) The final dialog will show the total number of cdARTs copied.

first of all thank you for this good working script.
I have a suggestion wich would make this script much more efficient.
it would be much better to look up first %album% and if there are multiple results combine it with %album artist% instead of looking up every %artist% - %album% combination.
that could save much time, if there are many compilations in the music db.
keep going with your good work

redje - Try this link. I'll change it on the main topic page
vanMiez - glad to get comments.. I'm not sure about the area you are talking about. When the program is first run, it looks for any cdARTs you may have(ones that are located in the music path) based on XBMC's music library, it then builds a local database(which speeds the next use of the program up) This the only time it looks at everything(locally). When searching for cdARTs, it is probably easier to do it by Artist since there will be fewer Artist than Albums(as this script does). If you can give me a bit more detail, I'll look into it.

for me it looks like the script is going through the artist library of xbmc (or the one build by it's own) and connects this info with the album information. (on wich album is a track by this artist?)
an example: (thats what it looks for me how it is currently working)
step1: looking for %artist% in db -> found: 'david guetta'
step 2: looking for %album% on wich is a track of this artist -> found: 'one love', 'dream dance 40' ... (two online lookups)
step 3: looking for cdart -> found: 'one love' -> downloading
the other combination wouldn't be found cause such a combination isn't existing on xbmcstuff.com
the main problem is:
if you're looking for %artist% there are much more entries because of entries like: 'david guetta ft. akon' 'david guetta ft. kelly rowland' 'david guetta ft. kid cudi' ...wich will never find a cdart because in the xbmcstuff.com db its only the %album artist% wich is important. i know that xbmc has the option to hide %artist% wich is only on compilation, but that wouldn't solve the problem i think (probably it would).
so i think it would be better if the first lookup will be the %album% tag because there're much less %album% entries than %artist% entries because of compilations, soundtracks, and those feat. things.
naturally these %album% tags have to be combined with %album artist% (or %band% tag, don't know wich one is used by xbmc - i have both tagged) because of 'best of' albums or same named albums by different artists.
so thats what i guess is more efficient:
step 1: looking for %album% -> found: 'one love'
step 2: looking for %album artist% or %band% -> found: 'david guetta'
step 3: looking for cdart -> downloading
that will cause one lookup online and later one lookup for 'dream dance 40' by 'various artists' wich seems like being equal (in this case) to the procedure you're using BUT: you are causing about 12 lookups for the 'one love' album (because the're many featurings) and about 40 lookups for any compilation (with no result) compared to the other way around wich will still cause only two lookups.
hmmm after writing and thinking twice it would probably be enough to change the lookup in your script from %artist% to %album artist%
let me think about it :-)
but until now: what do you think?
hopefully i haven't missunderstood the way your script is working

The ultimate goal of the script is to search via Album Artist, since this is looking for cd art. Getting the right info from the music database(completely and properly.) I have found even with my own music is slightly improperly labeled(in the id3tags).

short request:
is this side scrapeable?
there are a lot cdart in good quality online - especially for compilations and european music
perhaps you could build in an option for the scraping source?
i think it could work because they are offering a browser search plugin
so what do you think?

The cd images on that site are not usable with out some work... the cdART images are somewhat special. On XBMCStuff.com's forum has a good tutorial for making cdARTs using free software(GIMP) - http://forum.xbmcstuff.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=44
Try to make a couple and submit them.. I would do them, but I still have about 400 to do for my own collection...

No problem... On XBMCSTUFF.com's forum, there is a cdART request area, have a visit, add a request of your cdARTs. I'm sure someone will help out.
Do you have anything that you want the program to also do?

WATCH: California Chrome's owner is more than a little ticked off about that loss
Steve Coburn is understandably miffed that his horse, California Chrome, was unable to lock up the triple crown. However, while most owners would just grumble to themselves and lament the loss behind closed doors, Coburn decided to shoot off about it — which he is now apologizing for.
Coburn, alongside his wife, apologized to Good Morning America for comments he made after the race. He said, "I'm very ashamed of myself, very ashamed. I need to apologize to a lot of people." He specifically apologized to the team behind Tonalist, the horse who won the Belmont Stakes.
Right after the race, Coburn was upset with the fact that Tonalist didn't run in either the Kentucky Derby or Preakness. He told the media that this was a cowardly way to win.

Cesare Pietroiusti
2011, 2012, 2015, 2016
The work of Cesare Pietroiusti (b. 1955 Rome) is principally concerned with questioning ideas of art's perceived worth, the logics of economy and consumption, as well as problematic and paradoxical situations that are hidden in common relationships and in ordinary acts. Pietroiusti works mostly in film, video, and performance. Several of his projects can be seen by following this link to the Franco Soffiantino Gallery site.
Pietroiusti's practice often starts with assigning himself or others a task, or asking others to give him instructions. For a project at the Louisiana Museum, the artist spent seven days closed in a gallery space and lived each day with the food and the things selected by another person. His well known Pensieri Non Funzionali (Non-functional thoughts) (1978 – 2008), is a work comprising approximately one hundred useless, parasite or incongruous ideas to be realized as art projects by anyone. In Pietroiusti's words: "a 'non-functional thought' can be a way of observing fragments of reality, of creating connections among events, people, places, perceptions, or beliefs, an idea that is not directly determined by carrying out an activity, and therefore appears without a reason." Various artists and curators have taken up some of these ideas, including the exhibition Democracy! at the Royal College of Art, London in 2000.
Together with the collective Space (Bratislava), Pietroiusti founded Evolution de l'Art, the first contemporary art gallery to deal solely with immaterial artworks. He is one of the founders of the magazine Rivista di Psicologia dell'Arte, as well as the Jartrakor Study Center in Rome, an art gallery and an area of experimental aesthetic, and the international artist collective Nomads & Residents. Among other activities, N+R organizes and circulates the Traveling Magazine Table, a collection of independent publications by international artists, artists' collectives, alternative art spaces, and other collaboratives. From 1996-2000 Pietroiusti was the Editor of Aperture magazine before coordinating artistic projects at the Clocktower, New York, from 2000-2001. In addition, Pietroiusti works with the Oreste Project, a variable group of people, mainly visual artists, but also curators and others, who try to create free and operative spaces for developing ideas and projects, artworks and exhibitions, through meetings, communitary experiences and any other possibility of relations between persons.
Cesare Pietroiusti has participated in three Venice Biennale, including the 50th in 2003 where he presented Riserva Artificiale, a collective work with a group of students from the local Academy of Fine Arts. This project explored the narratives of people and places of Porto Marghera, the industrial area of Venice. He participated in the 2009 Tirana International Film Festival, Albania; Performa 07, New York; and has had solo projects at Galleria Franco Sofflantino, Torino (2009); MaMbo, Bologna (2008); the Ikon Gallery, Birmingham (2007); Palazzo Bricherasio, Turin (2003); Art in General, New York (2001); Serpentine Gallery, London (1992); and at the Louisiana Museum, Humlebæk (1996). He has had residencies at the Headlands Center for the Arts, San Francisco; at the Civitella Ranieri Center, Umbertid; and at the Rijksutstallningar Summer Academy (Ramnas, Sverige). He has taught at the Laboratorio delle Tecniche e delle Espressioni Artistiche, IUAV University, Venice and The Art Institute of Boston and has was invited to be a visiting artist at MIT CAVS program. Pietroiusti graduated with a degree in Psychiatry in 1979 with a dissertation on "Effects of suggestion in psychotherapy". He lives in Rome and New York.
Cesare Pietroiusti spent a cold and snowy month of February at the museum. Much of his time was devoted to the galleries. Pietroiusti was intrigued with the Tapestry Room preservation project, which will return the gallery to its 1926 appearance. Treatments to the floors, furniture, and objects, were well underway when he toured the galleries with textile conservator Tess Fredette and objects conservator Holly Salmon. Over the course of the month, Pietroiusti was able to closely observe Conservators' progress on the fireplace, a walnut Chest (Spanish, XVIc), and an iron Pulpit (Spanish or French, XIV – XVc) both from the East wall.
Pietroiusti also spent a great deal of time in the galleries and in the archives examining Isabella Stewart Gardner's book collection. Pietroiusti became fascinated in exploring time and the aging process of different materials; in particular, paper and vellum. Ann-Marie Eze, an Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Curatorial Fellow, opened the world of Italian manuscripts to him. His curiosity for the construction and the vulnerability of paper was fueled by looking at several commissioni, or presentation copies of contracts for Venetian noblemen, stipulated between the mid-1400s and the fall of the Republic in 1797. He was able to view several of these volumes with Eze as she prepared for the exhibition Illuminating the Serenissima: Books of the Republic of Venice.
Pietroiusti noticed small impurities and blemishes on some of the pages of the books he was examining and wanted to know more about how, and why, these occurred. Gianfranco Pocobene, Head of Conservation, introduced him to paper conservator and specialist T.K. McClintock, who schooled him in the history and properties of paper and vellum. They looked at several examples of "foxing" and water damage on wallpaper and two large globes at his Somerville studio. McClintock later visited the museum to discuss several of the books from the Collection with the artist.
Pietroiusti photographed pages from twelve books in the museum's Collection, which displayed noticeable effects of time – including impurities in the paper, mold, insects, use, the elements, tarnish. Several of the books were illuminated manuscripts and editions of Dante's Divine Comedy. One unusual book had been given to Mrs. Gardner by Francis Marion Crawford. Crawford commissioned Tiffany & Co. in New York to interleave their personal copies of The Divine Comedy inside an exquisite binding of leather and silver of his own design.
Although this particular book had been looked at on many occasions, it was the first time in many years that every page had been turned. In doing so, Pietroiusti discovered that the interleaving was not consistent and that the book's arrangement was "curated". Some portions of the book had been woven together page for page but in other portions, larger sections of each book remained intact. In addition, he found that Gardner had pressed flowers within the pages. A single-stemmed flower appears in the Inferno, Canto XIII, verses 50-60. Here Dante and Virgil speak to an entrapped soul in Forest of Suicides. The second appears in the Paradiso, Canto XXIV verses 148-154. Gardner placed a sprig of three small bell-shaped flowers at the point where St. Peter affirms Dante's belief in the Holy Trinity.
During the second week of January 2012, Pietroiusti returned to the Gardner for the opening of the new wing and created a special project in the Education Studio. Over several days, members of the public were invited to create drawings on paper using different media each day, including salt water, beer, coffee, tea and iron dust, extracts from flowers and iron gall ink. These drawings were signed and dated by the artist and the maker and distributed for free to the following day's participants. In this way, every person taking part in the workshop had the opportunity both to create a work and depart with one made by someone else. At the bottom of each drawing the artist included a caption that limits ownership so that the owner must give it to someone else within a certain time frame and under certain conditions. Cesare Pietroiusti has been producing drawings and distributing them for free since 2004. He has distributed approximately 100,000 of them to date.

text: For some reason this year, I have been watching Real Housewives OC and NYC more than I usually do. Probably because I have no life. Reports say that Heather and Terry's marriage is in trouble. I do know that it isn't as strained as RHNYC couple Kristin Taekman and her husband. As rude as that guy is to Kristin on air, can you imagine what it is like when the cameras are not rolling? It is worse. Way worse. Heather and Terry do look like they might need a break from each other. Terry says some really mean things about his kids and Heather definitely has treated him poorly this season, but I just don't see the two of them splitting because it would just be a really long and drawn out fight and it would probably just be easier sticking it out at this point and each have their own lives. To me, they don't even seem the most likely to divorce on the show. I think two other couples on the show seem to be more in distress. At this point, I don't even see what is holding Shannon and her husband together any longer and there also seems to be some drama between Tamra and her husband that she is good enough to keep from making the show. All I think about when I watch Heather and Terry is that I should have become a plastic surgeon, and what was so wrong about their last house that they needed to try and make something even bigger?

Rustic – One of our favorite ways to decorate a rustic ceremony venue is using an arch filled with natural elements such as branches, twigs and vines, but if you want more color, add a hanging floral backdrop to match your scheme.

Even Celeb Moms Get the (Baby) Blues
Gwyneth Paltrow and Bryce Dallas Howard suffer like the rest of us.
-Shana Aborn
Celebrity moms' parenting adventures have become quite the open book – or open blog, if you prefer. We learn about their pregnancies almost from the moment sperm hits egg, and from there we're treated to all the juicy details about morning sickness, cravings, birthing rooms, nurseries and nursing schedules. Even when the news borders on TMI – please, no more poop stories! – it's reassuring to know that at heart, the mothering experience is similar for everyone.
Yet there's one topic that's still kept in the shadows by famous and non-famous mothers alike. According to experts, a full 80 percent of all new mothers feel sad, anxious or helpless after the birth. For 10 percent, those feelings are so persistent as to be considered postpartum depression. In other words, having a baby turns most women into stressed, weepy, overwhelmed messes in those first few weeks – and sometimes longer. So why do we have so much trouble admitting it?
Two weeks ago, Gwyneth Paltrow and Twilight: Eclipse's Bryce Dallas Howard both revealed their own agonizing experiences with PPD after the birth of their sons, now 4 and 3 ½. Paltrow said it was "one of the darkest and most painfully debilitating chapters of my life." Howard put up a good front for her friends, but behind closed doors she wept uncontrollably, cursed out her husband and felt like "a rotten mother – not a bad one, a rotten one." Thankfully, they both got the help they needed.
W hen my own son was born on a cold February morning seven years ago, I was giddy with joy. I cuddled the baby, welcomed visitors and put on makeup for the first pictures. Two days later, preparing to leave the hospital, it was as if someone had uncorked the stopper on that euphoria and let it drain out, leaving only the sludge at the bottom. Tears slid down my face on the ride home as I tried to shut out the terrifying thoughts: How am I going to take care of this little being? What do I know about being a mother? Look – he's fussing in his car seat already. I'd been laid off a few months earlier. How can I ever give him everything he needs – financially as well as emotionally?
Read Postpartum Depression and Dads
It didn't get any easier at home as my husband and I slept three hours a night and debated over whether the baby was soiling enough diapers. The weepiness wasn't constant, but it happened often enough to make me wonder if I'd ever start feeling like a blissful new mom. I fought tears when my relatives visited. I sniffled in my parents' living room. And those lullaby CDs I put on during bedtime feedings? Total waterworks. (I still tear up at some of those songs.)
Worse yet was the guilt. Make that Guilt with a capital G. It had taken us years of trying, frustration and specialists' visits to have a baby in the first place. I'd cried enough times over not being a mother – how dare I be anything less than ecstatic now that I was one? And wasn't this supposed to be the most delightful time of my life? Didn't I see enough cheery diaper ads and photos of well-rested moms smiling at cherubic infants? What was I doing wrong?

DOWNEY — About 13 full-time city employees are scheduled to lose their jobs June 30 because of a projected $11 million budget deficit for the coming fiscal year, a city official said.
The employees were notified Friday of the pending layoffs, City Manager Gilbert Livas said.
Some of the 13 jobs might be saved if any employees take advantage of an early retirement program. The incentive, available to all full-time workers 55 and older, is an annuity allowing an employee to collect 60 percent of one year's salary over five years, Gilbert said.
The proposed budget won't be presented to the City Council until sometime in June, but Livas said the city couldn't wait and needed to make cuts.
"We had to do something now," he said. "The longer we wait, the worse it gets."
The 13 positions aren't public safety positions: three are from the city library, one is from the Department of Parks and Recreation, one is the executive director of the Columbia Memorial Space Center, seven are in the finance department and one is internal technology in the Fire Department, Livas said.
In an effort to cut the projected $11 million deficit for 2012-2013, Downey also implemented a moratorium on non-essential purchases and a 5 percent operational cut in every department, he said.
Further layoffs aren't expected, and residents shouldn't see a cut in services, Livas said.
The budget deficit is a combination of loss of redevelopment funds and the city covering those expenses, a decrease in tax revenue and rising pension costs, Livas said.
Funds from the city's redevelopment agency were used to pay agency staffing and loans, but when the agency was dismantled earlier this year, the city's general fund picked up those costs, estimated at $2.5 million, Livas said.
For 2011-2012, Downey has a $4.2 million deficit, which will be paid by its $25 million reserve fund, Livas said. twitter.com/zonkelpt

Greenopia, by Green Media Group
There's a bunch of these green shopping guides by city. I think I already recommended the Los Angeles version (if I didn't, you know now) and it was rather enlightening. It ranked the "greenness" of the places (and explained how it did so) as well as splitting by category. Being green in an urban setting was never so easy.

Storify: 12th annual Acorn Festival at Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden in Claremont
CLAREMONT -- The sound of a Native American flute echoed through the trails at the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Gardens on Sunday.
The flute and the California native plants in the garden provided a peaceful backdrop to the 12th annual Acorn Festival.
"The Acorn Festival is a traditional festival we've had here for the past 12 years that focuses on native people's uses of plants," said Eric Garton, director of visitor services, "so as California's native plant garden, we focus on California native plant species."
The festival was canceled on Saturday due to the rain, but continued on Sunday as scheduled.
Attendees learned about the culture of the Tongva people, the original inhabitants of the Los Angeles Basin, as well as other local Native American cultures.
Volunteers spoke about the importance of the acorn as well as other native plants in the lives of Native Americans through crafts and performances.
The festival celebrates both the historical and traditional use of native plants, Garton said.
"This is an opportunity for people to come who may have never been to the garden before or had the chance to think about how we use our native plants," he said. "This is a great way to experience that through native stories, culture and demonstrations."
Barbara Drake said her role as culture keeper for the Tongva is a heavy responsibility.
"It's important that we're here to help the youth and let them know our people still exist," she said. "That's the main thing, that we're still here today. That we didn't used to be here. That we're still here."
The Acorn Festival is like a family reunion she said.
"We may not see each other until we come here," she said. "When you have a gathering like this it's a very happy time."

(As compared to software that probably no one minds any more who distributes it. There are some other good websites that cover abandonware.)
If you know of any more such software, please let me know.
update : I've lately begun hosting some selected software here, in the zipped disk image format that is convenient for use with Mini vMac. These entries are marked "(hosted)". Feel free to redistribute these repackaged versions, according to the terms of the original license. (For more software in disk image format, ready for use in Mini vMac, E-Maculation has a large collection of shareware and freeware Macintosh games.)
I've not tested these programs too thoroughly, but the nice thing about an emulator such as Mini vMac is that you can try out programs without risk. Software running within the emulated machine can only affect mounted disk images. So when trying out software, you can work with copies of your disk images, and then throw out these copies when you are done. No harm is possible (unless there is a serious bug in Mini vMac).
These pages only list software with an official web address of some sort, and don't include software that is only in freeware/shareware archives. This restriction is mainly to limit the task to a more manageable size. For the same reason these pages are restricted to 68k code such as applications, control panels, and extensions, and don't include hypercard stacks, applescripts, z-code adventures, and such. Another such restriction is that the software can be figured out by someone whose only language is english.

Is there any way to prevent backscatter email from inundating my inbox without renaming or otherwise deleting my email address?
Filtering Out Backscatter With MailWasher Free
Are you becoming familiar with e-mails stating "The following recipient(s) could not be reached" or "Delivery Status Notification (Failure)?" Have you seen multiple copies of such e-mails numbering in the tens, hundreds, maybe even thousands, flood your inbox with no idea as to how, or why, they are being sent to you? If you answered yes to these questions, then you are unfortunately the victim of what is commonly known as "backscatter."
Caused by spammers, but not always actual spam, backscatter is a term used to define many multiple delivery failure notices sent to e-mail addresses unrelated to those which they had actually originated from. Typically, these multiple failure notices are generated legitimately, by real servers across the internet, when a spammer sends e-mail out to a large list of random addresses, with an equally random e-mail address set as the "reply-to" address in the e-mail being sent. This leads to a large number of e-mails being sent to "dead," unknown, or simply non-existent e-mail addresses (i.e. ~!@#firstname.lastname@example.com or $#%email@example.com) which, in turn, produces a large number of delivery failure notices being sent by the host servers of these undeliverable e-mail addresses (i.e. yahoo.com / aol.com) to the randomly chosen e-mail address in the "reply-to" field. If you are seeing these large amounts of delivery failure notices arrive in your inbox, congratulations, your address is the not so lucky to be chosen random "reply-to" address of the moment.
When your inbox has been inundated with these delivery failure notices, you may be tempted to call your e-mail service provider and scream at them for not providing adequate anti-spam protection for your account. However, you will want to hold off on making that call, as what looks like spam, is not actually spam. While your e-mail address may have been picked up by a spammer for use in their fraudulent reply-to address field, the actual delivery failure notices being sent to you are completely legitimate automated e-mails from legitimate administrative accounts on legitimate e-mail servers. As such, attempting to automatically filter backscatter induced delivery failure notices without also filtering other important, mostly singular, delivery failure notices is nearly impossible for many e-mail service providers to do effectively. This unfortunate set of circumstances leaves the backscatter recipient with two choices: let this flood of legitimate but unwanted e-mails clog up your inbox until they eventually (hopefully) stop, or install a third party program to manually filter through your e-mails before they reach your e-mail programs' inbox. As having our inbox cluttered with a flood of useless messages is obviously not desirable, we'll discuss the latter option: Manual e-mail filtering with a third party application.
While using a program to manually filter e-mail can be an inconvenience, filtering out useless messages before they have a chance to reach your inbox is more than worth the extra minute or two it takes to go through and preemptively delete these unwanted e-mails. Performing this manual filtering is itself quite simple with the right program; in this case a little app called "MailWasher."
Available for free from Firetrust Software, MailWasher is a very handy tool which allows you to preview e-mails before they are downloaded into your inbox. MailWasher does this by first checking your e-mail before you check it with your e-mail program, then displaying all unchecked e-mails in a compact listing digest format which shows the sender, subject, size, and other essential stats of each message. Once you've gone over the message digest, you can select e-mails which you wish to delete individually or in bulk, hit a button to process them, and voila, all those backscatter e-mails will be deleted, making it safe to check your e-mail once again.
Where do you get this MailWasher program and how do you use it? Follow these easy steps:
Step 1. Visit MailWasher.net, click the Download Now button, and follow the instructions to download the MailWasher Install file.
Step 2. Once downloaded, double click the MailWasher install file and follow the installation instructions.
Step 3. Once installed, click on the MailWasher Free program icon to start MailWasher. You will be presented with a dialog box prompting you to enter your e-mail account settings. Enter your e-mail settings as you entered them when setting up your e-mail program. Click OK once all your e-mail account settings have been entered.
Step 4. You will now see the main MailWasher interface. Click the Check Mail button to have MailWasher initiate checking of your e-mail. Within seconds, you will begin to see a list of your e-mails in the main MailWasher e-mail digest window pane.
Step 5. Once checking of your e-mail is complete, click the Subject column button. Your e-mails will be displayed in order of similar subject lines. This will allow you to more easily distinguish between backscatter e-mails and regular e-mails as most backscatter e-mails will have similar subject lines ("Delivery Status Notification (Failure)" for example.
Step 6. CTRL+Left Click to select the backscatter e-mails in your list one by one, or select the top most message you would like to delete, hold the Shift key and Left Click the last same subject e-mail you would like to delete to select multiple messages, then click any check box under the Delete category. All selected e-mails will now be marked for deletion.
Step 7. Click the Process Mail button and your selected e-mails will disappear from the MailWasher digest window as they are deleted from the server.
Step 8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 until all your backscatter e-mails have been deleted.
Step 9. Check your e-mail in your e-mail program. You should now receive only the e-mails still displayed in the MailWasher e-mail digest window.
Continue to use MailWasher until backscatter e-mails are no longer being sent to your address, or keep using MailWasher to further filter spam and other messages before they reach your e-mail programs' inbox. While backscatter typically subsides within a day or so from the initial flood, it does occasionally return when another spammer or spam program happens to randomly place your e-mail address in its spam e-mails. For this reason, it is a good idea to keep MailWasher installed and ready to use, even if you cease to use it after your first backscatter incident.

Las Vegas and Reno, Nevada, Phoenix, Provo, Utah, and Greely, Colorado, round out the 20 most stressed housing markets.
Moreover, there was no considerable cache at the latter point, as Greely thought.
He stole again, whereupon, by orders of Greely, he was shot.
His most famous exploit was the rescue of the Greely Arctic expedition.
There was dissension in Greely's command almost from the start.
Another important expedition in his life was the rescue of Greely, to which three chapters are devoted.
It was fully two minutes after rising before Lieut. Greely could speak, so great was the outburst of enthusiasm which greeted him.
The cases of Greely's six fellow survivors, it is remarked, were very similar to his.
Lieut. Greely's disease is called by the surgeon asthenia, a diminution of the vital forces.
On the opposite side are the unmarked places where sixteen of Greely's ill-fated party died.
