Unless those data centers are powered by green energy, or someone finds a way to keep them from being built, their huge power demands will make a significant contribution to global warming. And given yet another new trend, "green fatigue," I'm not confident that we'll really see the widespread deployment of green data centers in time to make a difference.
The Internet of things is too big to manage or secure
Then there's the issue of managing so many devices. Although the industry is generally quite optimistic about IPv6, which in theory can supply an almost unlimited number of addresses, it still hasn't been widely deployed, and the transition could be tougher than anyone cares to admit.
Addressing issues aside, what about moving data to and fro among billions of devices? It's quite a challenge, and here's where Cisco has embraced another "year of" sort-of-thing: fog computing. Cisco defines that new buzzword as "the convergence of networking and compute at the edge of networks to create a more distributed intelligence that balances the need for centralized megascale data centers with more locally useful computing and decision making capabilities." Not exactly local, not exactly cloud -- fog.
Then, of course, there's the Sisyphean task of securing so many devices. Indeed, Symantec has already discovered a worm that targets the Internet of things. Security vendors are of course salivating about something new to portray as a threat, with the cries about mobile doom and gloom still not happening; Boxtone this week announced its Internet of things security management tools, for example.
In the Internet of things, every user becomes an admin -- oh, joy!
Closer to home, as in the user's home, there's this: "We're about to hit the ceiling of what people are willing to babysit," says Mark Rolston, chief creative officer at Frog Design. "How many devices do you want to try and keep alive and awake throughout the day?" What with linking devices, entering passwords, managing home Wi-Fi, and dealing with corporate IT departments at work, connected life is already hard for some users -- "They are network admins, by accident," Rolston said during a session at last month's Open Mobile Summit.
Still, that's not stopping developers for looking at new things to put on the Internet -- your garage door, for instance. Why your garage door? Suppose you just got to work and you have one of those Homer Simpson moments: "Doh! I didn't close the garage door. Or did I?" A company called Chamberlain showed off at a Broadcom event a device called MyQ that includes a rather ingenious sensor that detects the position of the door and it lets you know its status by virtue of a smartphone app. If it's open, you can tell it to close.
If you're unlucky enough to deal with the craziness of CES next month, you can be sure you'll see lots more gadgets like that garage door opener. (Broadcom, in case you wondered, makes the chips in the sensor.)
Actually, that MyQ gadget is kind of cool, but I'm not sure the world needs billions of devices like that.

WB interested in Casablanca 2, incites global facepalming
4:00 PM on 11.05.2012 // Xander Markham
The greatest love story ever told! Again!
A long-standing joke about creatively soulless Hollywood executives has a young buck standing up and proposing a sequel to the 1942 Humphrey Bogart/Ingrid Bergman classic, Casablanca. Inevitably, that joke is now threatening to come true, with perhaps the only surprise being that it has taken this long to happen. WB are reportedly circling a treatment by original co-writer Howard Koch, written back in 1980.
Titled Return To Casablanca (I'd have called it Super Casablanca myself, or Casablanca 64, but there you go), it follows Rick and Ilsa's son - so yeah, that happened - in 1961 as he tries to find out more about his father (watch the movie, maybe?) and team up with an Arab woman called Joan in a hunt for 'Nazi outlaws', or something. You can find further details at the linked New York Post article, but I warn you: it doesn't get any better. Even after seventy years, stupid is still stupid. At least it's not called Play It Again, Sam, but I bet someone considered it.

From space adventures like Rogue One: A Star Wars Story to the post-apocalyptic Man Down, there will be no shortage of action movies to watch this Christmas. Here's a look at five to watch.
There are very few men in Hollywood who have the respect of motorheads, motor enthusiasts and racers alike. Paul Walker built that respect. In his memory, we present his greatest movies.
Despite the general failure of of earlier films, the Fantastic Four are getting another chance. A reboot of the franchise has been announced for 2015, with relative newcomer Josh Trank set to direct the project in an attempt to get this one right.
As the titular star of 'Inside Llewyn Davis', Oscar Isaac plays one of the many forgotten struggling Greenwich Village folk artists left behind after the explosion of Bob Dylan. TORO spoke to the actor about the life-changing role.
TORO recently got chance to chat with Evangeline Lilly about her role, her personal Tolkien fandom, and how she copes with being a female icon for lonely nerds everywhere.
TORO caught up with Danny Trejo to talk Machete Kills, Mel Gibson, the Muppets, Ray Liotta and, of course, Sofia Vergara.
Miranda Calderon chats about her short film Alegra & Jim, a dark comedy inspired by run-ins with notoriously leacherous director/writer James Toback, which premieres at the Zero Film Festival.
The stars have packed up, the ticket lines have disappeared and we wrap up a pretty amazing festival with two movies that are finales themselves: Hayao Miyazaki's final film The Wind Rises and TIFF's closing gala Life Of Crime.
To combat the fatigue as TIFF13 nears the end, here are reviews of two of the best horror flicks of the festival: The Sacrament and Oculus, guaranteed to keep you awake whether you like it or not.
Another day, another batch of TIFF reviews. This time up: a look at the latest efforts by '90s Canuck art house darling Atom Egoyan and former music video maestro Jonathan Glazer's latest creation.
In case you were wondering what the Brits were up to this TIFF, don't worry, a couple of British comedy legends popped up for some classic dry wit.
Today, we return to TIFF's mini-Oscar race with two star-studded studio offerings vying for gold statues. This time, the difference is that both movies actually deserve all the attention coming their way.
Halfway through and TIFF is still going strong. Today, we'll take a look at 12 Years A Slave and the new Canadian horror flick Afflicted.
TIFF is still going and so is this column. Today, we sneak a peak at Jason Reitman's drama Labor Day and the movie geek bait doc Jodorowsky's Dune.
Today, TIFF's mini-Oscar bait race kicks off with the Wikileaks feature The Fifth Estate and Parkland, yet another film about the assassination of JFK.
Today, the TIFF journey rages on with an epic meeting of minds between Errol Morris and Donald Rumsfeld, along with a dirty little American indie filled with blood and spunk (No, not that kind).
The Toronto International Film Festival has rolled into town, bringing hundreds of new films to flicker before the eyes of giddy cinephiles young and old. Each day, we'll bring you reviews and news from the scene.
If you're going to make your feature film debut, sci-fi action hit Elysium is as good a vehicle as any. Vancouver-based actor Josh Blacker definitely made the most of it.
Big-time moviemaker and part-time Toronto resident (what?!) Guillermo Del Toro chats with Phil Brown about what it's like to make a post-modern, anti-war, monster movie.
TORO got a chance to chat with director Nicolas Winding Refn about his latest film, sleazy Thai karaoke and his unconventional approach to filmmaking.

Using openmoko phone to control intelligent lighting

New page

 Not really sure that it should be here, but I am in the lighting industry. Among other things, we work with alot of intelligent (lol) lighting and programmable led lighting. I am aware of efforts in LLA and the Q lighting controller for dmx control on GNU/Linux, however I would think that a solution on the freerunner would be an awesome display of the capabilities of what you can do with open source software. Unless some Qlc interface could be written to accomidate the screen size and input capabilities of the freerunner, and the backends could be made to communicate with the computer that is actually connected to the dmx adaptor, the obvious solution would have to involve deeper work so far as a way to pipe communications to the device. That in itself would rely more on the way the current libs and modules are set up, and if they would allow reading of current values on the connection, thus allowing multiple interfaces/applications simultanious access to the universe. Otherwise, some middleware would be needed to allow remote access to the device. All of this would be far beyond my abilities, and help (read "someone to do it for me", lol) would be needed. It is, after all, just an idea on the idea page.

Is it unreasonable for a doctor to take out over 1100 grams of breast tissue in each breast leaving me an A and a B. He told me I would be a large B or small C and he was going to take out around 500 to 800 grams. My breasts are completely deformed and I feel worse about myself after the surgery. I've had numerous complications. Why was he so off in the amount he took out?
Why Would a Doctor Take out More Than Originally Stated in a Breast Reduction?
Doctor Answers 7
Breast Reduction and Tissue Removed?
Thank you for the question.
The amount of tissue removed during breast reduction surgery cannot be accurately predicted preoperatively; is likely that your surgeon gave you and estimate prior to surgery.
Assuming you are working with a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon, communicate your concerns in a call/non accusatory fashion. Hopefully, your surgeon will have recommendations on how to improve your outcomes.
Best wishes.

Breast reduction amount
When consulting with patients before surgery, the volume discussed that would be removed is only an estimate. Breasts can be more parenchymal than fat and therefore may way more. As for the final size, you should discuss that with your surgeon.

Taking out more than originally stated in a breast reduction
A photo would help. If you are "deformed" than I suspect you had a bad surgery or surgeon. Seek other in person opinions.
From MIAMI Dr. B

Breast reduction guestimate on how much to remove
The amount of tissue to be removed during a breast reduction is estimated prior to surgery, based on a surgeon's experience and his/her assesment of the breast tissue density. It is an educated guess but not set in stone.
Address your concerns with your doctor
This is an unfortunate situation for sure and one we can't really help you with as we are not your doctors. I would hope your doctor sit down with you, listen to your concerns, explain exactly what the discrepany is and why he did the surgery the way he did. Your only recourse would be to heal and do an augmentation to restore some of the size.
Breast reduction Tissue Removal - How Much To Take
Unfortunately, not seeing you prior to surgery, I cannot comment on why the amount removed was as much as it was. That is something you will need to discuss with your surgeon. The one thing I can say is that the amount removed is really just an estimate before surgery. Until you get in to surgery, and see where the tissue is and where it really needs to be removed from, it is just an educated guess. Sometimes there is alot more then appears from the outside, and sometimes there is less tissue that needs to be removed. This happens from one breast to the other as well, and it is not uncommon to be removing alot more from one side vs the other, depending on the sizes to start out with.
A question I can't answer
I'm sorry you are unhappy with the result. Sometimes we either under or over estimate the amount to remove while other times it is necessary to achieve the result we plan. Have you been back to the doctor, as this is the first step. Tell him/her why you are unhappy and ask what can be done to fix it. I would start there as almost all of us don't want unhappy patients and do everything we can to make them happy! Good luck.

Litter fine plan in doubt
A plan to issue litter louts in Birmingham with on-the-spot fines of £50 hangs in the balance.
The scheme is being discussed by councillors on Friday but demands by police for payment of up to £500 to enforce the fines could jeopardize the idea.
An experiment in May saw five people fined, with two more cautioned, for allegedly dropping litter in Victoria Square in Birmingham city centre.
At first the police provided back up free of charge but have now given notice they will charge £50 an hour for a minimum of five hours for the two officers required.
Crucial presence
David Lowe, an environmental health officer with the council, says the role of the police will be crucial in backing up the campaign.
"They managed to get the attention of the people, made them stop at the scene then get their name and address.
"This enabled us to served the fixed penalty notices.
"In future occasions it may cost the city council to have the police present."
Police powers
The maximum fine for dropping litter on the highway is £2,500.
Council officers have powers to issue fines under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
However, only the police can demand names and addresses of offenders, or arrest those refusing to co-operate.

Posted in TechnologyComments Off on Robot That Can Learn, Think And Act By Itself
Posted on 30 April 2012.
A round robot scurries in Milan's science laboratory, bumping furniture and people in an office. That would sound completely ordinary, a robot moving around an office causing annoyance perhaps in its small round shape; it's just that, the robot is being controlled by a paralyzed patient more than 50 miles away and not with the use of a remote control or joystick, but with electrical signals from the brain.
The robot was designed as part of an experiment that can help disabled patients use robotic devices with mental control in order to help them communicate and handle objects. The robot defines its action by merging the conscious controlling thoughts of the patient along with computer calculated algorithms for it to create action. Jose del R. Milan developed a software that greatly improves the robots usability and the control it receives from the user. for example the robot can calculate to find a door when it is about to jump off the stairs.

Why Do Plants Need To Produce Carbon Dioxide?
The same way we breath in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, plants during the night, will do matching, but the process is reversed during the day, it takes in carbon dioxide and releases oxygen. Interesting how plants can switch over that style. It depends on what the plant needs during it's rest period, at night, and when it is surrounded by photosyntasism during the day, using sunlight to draw nourishment. I guess it's sort of like the means of access we eat food, take the nutrients we need, and expell the rest.

Ashton Kutcher 'vacationing with Mila'
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are enjoying a romantic holiday in Bali.
The Hollywood stars are believed to be dating and have been photographed kissing recently. They are yet to confirm the romance and Ashton has decided to escape the attention surrounding their relationship by whisking Mila away for some quality time together.
They are staying at a five-star resort on the southern peninsula of Bali, reports New York Post.
The lavish suites boast private swimming pools and impressive wooden four-poster beds.
It has been reported that Ashton doesn't want to hurt his estranged wife Demi Moore by going public too early with his new romance. However, those close to the hunk insist he is smitten with 28-year-old Mila and is struggling to keep their flourishing relationship under wraps.
"Ashton was Mila's first kiss while on That '70s Show, so they've always had a special bond. They started dating in the spring, and things have recently become more serious," a source told the publication.
Demi has also been moving on with her life after splitting from 34-year-old Ashton last year.
She is reported to be dating actor Martin Henderson, who is 12 years younger than her.
The 49-year-old actress kept a low profile as she attended a Bourne Legacy party on Monday night. Demi was seen happily chatting to the movie's star Rachel Weisz at the bash at the Four Seasons hotel in New York City.

Santa Barbara, Calif. (UPI) Apr 6, 2010
A U.S. geologist says she's discovered a pattern that connects regular changes in the Earth's orbital cycle to changes in the planet's climate.
University of California-Santa Barbara Assistant Professor Lorraine Lisiecki performed her analysis of climate by examining ocean sediment cores taken from 57 locations around the world and linking that climate record to the history of the Earth's orbit.
The researchers said it's known the Earth's orbit around the sun changes shape every 100,000 years, becoming either more round or more elliptical. The shape of the orbit is known as its "eccentricity" and a related aspect is the 41,000-year cycle in the tilt of the Earth's axis.
Glaciation of the Earth also occurs every 100,000 years and Lisiecki found the timing of changes in climate and eccentricity coincided.
"The clear correlation between the timing of the change in orbit and the change in the Earth's climate is strong evidence of a link between the two," Lisiecki said. She also said she discovered the largest glacial cycles occurred during the weakest changes in the eccentricity of Earth's orbit -- and vice versa, with the stronger changes in orbit correlating to weaker changes in climate.
"This may mean that the Earth's climate has internal instability in addition to sensitivity to changes in the orbit," she said.
The research is reported in the journal Nature Geoscience.

Mark Buehrle was thrown a curve ball when making plans this offseason to move his family and four dogs to South Florida.
Buehrle, who signed a four-year, $58 million deal with the Miami Marlins in December, had to make a few adjustments.
After learning that one of his dogs would be unable to move to Miami-Dade County due to breed-specific animal restrictions, he was forced to moved to neighboring Broward County.
Buehrle's 18-month old American Staffordshire terrier named Slater falls under the Miami-Dade County's pit bull breed ban established in 1989.
"It's kind of ridiculous that because of the way a dog looks, people will ban it," Buehrle told the Miami Herald. "Every kind of dog has good and bad, and that depends on the handlers. If you leave a dog outside all the time, it'll be crazy. Slater would never do anything harmful."
Buehrle and his wife Jamie launched a campaign on Change.org calling on Florida legislators to pass a bill to end the pit bull ban.
"Every day that I look at my sweet-natured, certified Canine Good Citizen pit bull, I can't imagine having to give him up, or even worse, having Slater taken from me based solely on the way he looks," said Jamie Buehrle.
The Buehrle's are animal lovers and supporters of Best Friends Animal Society, who rescued many of the pit bulls from Michael Vick's dog fighting operation, Bad Newz Kennels.
Last year, the left-handed pitcher was an outspoken critic of Vick, saying: "Everything you've done to these dogs, something bad needs to happen to these guys."
The four-time All-Star spent his entire 12-year career with the Chicago White Sox. He owns a 161-119 career record, including a no-hitter in 2007.

June 1, 2014 LinkedIn Influencer post
Idealism and Pragmatism, as opposed but complementary and mutually beneficial visions of the World, are eloquently illustrated in Cervantes' masterpiece "Don Quixote,"acknowledged by many as the first modern novel. However, some literary scholars suggest that the novel should have been entitled "Don Quixote and Sancho Panza" for the two main protagonists of this book deserve equal merit and recognition and indeed represent two facets of the personality that, if combined into one, may achieve a perfect equilibrium.
Don Quixote is ethereal, idealistic (sometimes to lunatic extremes), detached from material goods, with a noble figure, tall but skinny, a low-level aristocrat who is victim of delusions of grandeur. "Honor" is the motto that drives him to afford risky, often foolish, actions since he has devoted the rest of his life to the old-fashioned enterprise of restoring chivalry customs.
Sancho Panza, working as Quixote's esquire for free, is short, has a distinguishable paunch but with his feet on the ground and a distinctive worldly vision. He incarnates the model of pragmatism and looks for chances to move up the social ladder, while taking care for the day-to-day basic needs of the couple, such as lodgings, food and other living arrangements. He even has capitalist instincts, rare in Spanish 16th Century: when he discovers the properties of the supposedly magic balsam of Fierabras that heals whomever drinks it, he wonders how to mass produce it (1).
The two protagonists represent respectively the "ying" and the "yang" and they are one of the most complementary and synergetic couples of world's literature. Since they represent opposed personalities, maybe living together is not just possible but enjoyable. Furthermore, they respect and profess profound affection for each other regardless their differences and what others may think. A quote from Sancho at the end of the novel is illustrative of this, when he takes upon his own shoulders his companion's mission after Don Quixote's death: "Let us take the field in shepherds' apparel, according to our agreement: who knows, but behind some bush we may find my Lady Dulcinea disenchanted, and a comely sight to see".
Quixote and Sancho may well characterize the personality poles that many companies need in their top management. In fact, idealism and pragmatism are not easily found together in a single person. Some managers are the embodiment of strategic vision and passion for innovation, whereas others have a marked orientation towards finance and performance. Some are risk-averse and conservative, and well suited for times of crisis, whereas others may drive successfully their organizations in times of growth.
There are many cases of companies where the actual governance was shared by an idealist and a pragmatist, in the Quixote-Sancho fashion. A paradigmatic example of this was the initial management at Philips, the Dutch electronics conglomerate, when during the first decades of expansion the company was co-driven by the two founding brothers; one embodying the innovative and production drive and the other the orientation to market. This synergetic polarity originally inspired the matrix structure that the corporation adopted and maintained operative until the 1980's.
Another example was Apple at the time when Steve Jobs hired John Sculley, then CEO of PepsiCo, to head the Cupertino-based company. Jobs intention of combining his idealism, strategic vision and perfectionism with Sculley's marketing talent and performance-oriented style was sound and potentially beneficial. However, we know that the tandem did not work together well, and that the power struggle between Jobs and Sculley ended with the exit of the former from the company he founded. Indeed, Job's quixotic traits, his erratic and temperamental attitude — some witnesses even referred to a sort of reality distortion (2) — came to the extreme at that time. Unfortunately, Sculley did not prove to be a supportive Sancho Panza either.
Given your past experience and the feedback that you get from your colleagues and coaches, do you consider yourself an idealist or a pragmatist manager, a Quixote or a Sancho? You probably combine elements of the two, but I guess that there is a useful piece of advice for managers if Cervantes' novel is interpreted from the perspective explained here. If you run a company and feel naturally inclined to one of the described poles, you should better counteract the undesirable effects of this inertia in your company and appoint a senior manager with a complementary profile to keep healthy dialectics. Steve Jobs, who acknowledged his past error, did this during his successful second mandate as CEO at Apple.
"Did not I assure you, they were no other than windmills? Indeed, nobody could mistake them for anything else, but one who has windmills in his own head?" tells Sancho to Don Quixote after the ludicrous attack the latter undertakes against the standing constructions, believing they were fierce giants. Was Sancho right or didn't he understand his master's vision? Well, we may stand before two conceptions of reality that are not put to the test until actions are performed and evaluated in the long term.

Ferro-cerium rod is made from Iron, Magnesium and mostly of an alloy of rare earth metals called mischmetal, which contains cerium, lanthanum and a small amounts of neodymium and praseodymium. The origin of its easy sparking is cerium's low temperature pyrophoricity, it's ignition temperature occurring between (150 to 180 degrees celsius). Since smaller scrapings become better sparks, the mechanical properties of rare earth metals must be adjusted to give a usable material;
Ferrocerium rod is widely used in flint lighter, outdoor firestarter(fire starter), survival kits(flint & steel kit) in scouting and camping, and sparking entertainment, clockwork toys and strikers for welding torches.
Ferrocerium is also known as Auermetall after its inventor Baron Carl Auer von Welsbach, it is sold under such trade names as Blastmatch, FireSteel, and Metal-Match.
While ferrocerium-and-steel function in a similar way to flint-and-steel in fire starting, ferrocerium actually takes on the role that steel played in traditional methods. When small shavings of it are removed quickly enough, the heat generated by friction is enough to ignite those shavings. The sparks generated are in fact tiny pieces of burning metal.
The required chemical composition:
Mischmetal(rare earth metal) : abt. 75%
Iron abt.18.1-19.3%
Magnesium 3-4%
Rare earth metal distribution :
Cerium 49-51%
Lanthanum 26-34%
Neodymium 0-10%
Praseodymium 4-7%
Pyrophoric percentage : 98%min.
Hardness : 70-90 HV
Dimension : 2.4mm up to 7.0mm Diameter x 5mm up to 1000mm Length.

In response to the increasing rates of hunger for children across our community, the St. Leo Food Connection is sponsoring the Simplified Summer Food Program for Children, which began June 20. The Food Connection is serving sack lunches and snacks at Summer Meals sites in Tacoma, Lakewood, Fife and Fircrest on weekdays throughout the summer.
Due to demand, several changes have been made in program sites and hours. See below for sites and meal service times.
"We know from the growth of our Backpack Program, which provides two days worth of food on Fridays to more than 600 children at numerous Tacoma and Clover Park Public Schools, that many children in our community are at risk of going hungry, and that this sad truth is only exacerbated during the summer when school breakfasts and lunches are not available for many of the children who rely on them during the school year," said St. Leo Food Connection Director Kevin Glackin-Coley. "Last year we served more than 700 children daily throughout the summer, but we know that the need is even greater. With the program expansions that we are putting into place we anticipate that we will be serving close to 800 children on weekdays throughout the summer."
Meals will be prepared daily at McCarver Elementary (2111 S. 'J' St., Tacoma) and then delivered to the various sites. The Food Connection is partnering with local agencies, including the Tacoma Housing Authority, Mercy Housing, Lakewood, Fife and Fircrest Parks and Recreation Departments, to maximize the number of children they are able to serve. In addition to funding from the USDA, this program is funded in part by the City of Lakewood.
Lunch and snacks will be made available at no charge to attending children 18 years of age and younger. All meals are available without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability. If you believe you have been treated unfairly, you may file a complaint of discrimination by writing, USDA, Director, Office of Adjudication, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, D.C. 20250-9410 or call toll free (866) 632-9992 (Voice). Individuals who are hearing impaired or have speech disabilities may contact USDA through the Federal Relay Service at (800) 877-8339; or (800) 845-6136 (Spanish). USDA and the St. Leo Food Connection are equal opportunity providers and employers.

UPDATE, 4:02 p.m. ET: Hargrove, whose face was obstructed in the video, denied Tuesday that his voice was the one depicted by the clip.
The NFL has provided an audio/video clip -- it's not exactly crystal clear -- of former New Orleans Saints DL Anthony Hargrove in the NFC Championship Game following the 2009 season where he seems to demand payment for knocking Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre out of the game.
"Hey, Bobby, give me the money," Hargrove, who later received a $5,000 fine for an illegal hit on Favre, says to former teammate Bobby McCray after the quarterback limped from the field.
MORE: NFL doesn't differentiate payments in Saints bounty case
Favre, who was purportedly worth $35,000 that day as a target of the Saints' bounty program, actually never missed a snap despite taking a severe beating in Minnesota's loss.
Though there are no questions about Favre's toughness, does this piece of evidence convince you of premeditated bad intentions' on the part of the Saints?
Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State. Davis' succession of our esteemed colleague Sean Leahy at The Huddle is considered a Brady-for-Bledsoe swap by most "insiders."More about Nate

Sebastian makes the point that the development pages need cleanup:"Cleanup old discussions/comments (make them first order info if valuable otherwise remove them)"
And Andi agrees that these pages need "serious cleanup". In some of the worst cases the interspersed comments become an impediment, makung it hard to distinguish between the text and the commentary. It would also be nice to get rid of those FIXME's that scream out at the user. I don't know if this is a practical solution. But I just finished re-designing a site using DokuWiki as a CMS and adopted the Discussion plugin for user input. It's a great plugin. If a link to a discussion page could be placed at the bottom of each devel page, then the commentary could be kept temporarily separate, and then eventually any valuable comments could be integrated into the devel page. It shouldn't be too much work to write a plugin that creates the link to the Discussion and then creates the Discussion page itself, if one doesn't already exist. I've automated creation of Discussions on the above mentioned site, not as a plugin but via an ajax call from the browser; it shouldn't be too onerous to convert it to a syntax plugin.
Just a thought, Myron Andreas Gohr wrote:
Improving the documentation now finally brings me to the second thread. Sebastian made some suggestions at http://www.dokuwiki.org/devel:manual about improving the developers docs. His suggestions look very much like a book outline to me ;-) Sebastian, first: I like most of your suggestions but because it's easier and fits with what I want to say in general, I do some nitpicking here ;-)
I most certainly agree that the pages in the devel namespace need some serious clean up. Especially the plugin pages are a real mess right now. Adding simple and easy to understand examples to all devel pages is a must as well. +1 on that.

Mild-Medium flavor, hints of sweetness and chocolate. Good smooth draw, somewhat un-even burn had to stay one step ahead of this one. Occasional bite-y draw, a few poor flavor spots, only lasted one draw. Over-all very smooth and wonderful taste left in your mouth, very buttery. Overall a good smoke, but not for those who wouldn't give it a good chance.
I didn't particularly like Macanudo until after the hurricane. When the back of the boxes was stamped Dominican Republic, I loved them. Now that they've gone back to Jamaica, they once again are boring. Alas. Oh, well, pray for rain.
If cigars had a light designation like cigarettes do, Macanudos would definitely deserve that label. These cigars provide a wonderfully mild, smooth, classic cigar taste. The cedar-lined tubes make these great for travel, and the mildness makes these sticks great for handouts - especially for buddies who don t smoke cigars frequently. Without a doubt, this is one of my favorite cigars in the world.
I have been smoking cigars since 1980 and am one of those long-time medium- to full-bodied aficiniados who appreciates a mild cigar of excellent quality from time to time, always in the larger ring guages. This Macanudo, the 6x60 Gigante, is the perfect mild cigar, consistently tasty and friendly, start to stop, rich and creamy without ever being overpowering. It is a wonderful experience with impeccable draw and construction. It has a nutty, earthy, slightly leathery flavor, like top-grade coffee with a smidge of real cream. If you like the steadfastness of a legend, say a Lincoln, a Caddy, or a good old Imperial, if you like the Hoyo Excalibur Number One, or the Montecristo, you will fall in love right down to the nub.
When I'm in the mood for a mild cigar, the Macanudo courts are always winners.Great tasting cigar, mouth watering.
Ignore the mediocre reviews. This cigar is in the top 10 best cigars I've ever had; and I've had a lot of cigars!For me, the Macanudo Court is FLAVOR. When I smoke this, I taste the strong calm flavor of natural tobacco; on other cigars it's often the taste of someones personal attempt to make a special or cheap cigar. To me this cigar is the true taste of tobacco.
I've smoked a lot of cigars; these are my personal favorite!
very nice lil cigar easy draw great taste an a nice quick smoke
I find this cigar an excellent smoke at anytime. It is my favorite.
I've been smoking the Macanudo Duke of Windsors for the past 7-8 years and have never been disappointed my box purchases. These beautiful looking and well constructed cigars are mild to medium with a bit more complex flavor and aroma than most Macs (eg. Hyde Park). They improve immensely with aging (I take them out of the plastic sleeves and rest them in my cigar chest for 3 months or more). You will be rewarded with one of the finest mild smokes around.However, from time to time, like many belicoso type cigar shapes, occasional individual cigars get the hard draw issue. So I'm not sure if this is the issue with the lower than expected rating on this site. I'm surprised and puzzled as I have been smoking cigars for over 14 years and would rate this cigar a 90 at the very least, especially at around $5 a stick, it's a great value. The Duke of Windsor is still and always will be one of my favorite smokes in the morning and/or after lunch.

Old classic tale 'Rapunzel' comes to Geyer with new meaning
It's always interesting to take a well-known classic and give it a bit of a twist, and that is exactly what the Geyer Performing Arts Center's production of the children's tale "Rapunzel" will do as it entertains audiences with its "new" story.
"One of the things that I like about it is that it's not a romance," said Kat Post, Geyer education director. "It has a new twist which is something that I really like about it."
The show will be staged as the theater's "Children's Show," which has been an annual fundraising event at the theater for many years.
Hundreds of children from the area will attend the show during the week, then it will be staged for the public at 11 a.m. Saturday.
"This is a great opportunity for us every year to bring children through the doors of the theater," said Kristen Tunney, Geyer manager. "It's a great way to expose these kids to live theater. They are our future and the future of theater."
The show is a musical version of the tale and features several strong performers who will be playing the roles.
"I am so blessed to have such a talented group of singers," Post said. "They are all college trained and they all possess great talent."
Mandy Onder of Scottdale will be playing the title role of "Rapunzel" and said she enjoys the depth of the character and the story that unfolds as the young character finds herself in the show.
"Rapunzel is a misguided character who must come to terms with the lies she's been told by her mother," Onder said. "I love getting to become this character because of the internal struggle she deals with throughout the play. In this show, we have a girl who was told lies her entire life so I had to find the line, literally and metaphorically, where she decides to take control of her fear and not only start discovering who she is but also discover what the world around her can offer and become if only she could go beyond her tower."
The show is filled with songs and lively interaction and is perfect for audiences of all ages, especially children.
"This is our opportunity to address the school-aged children of our area without having to take them to a big city to experience live drama," Post said. "Schools are pulling away from the arts and we feel it's our responsibility to do what we can to pick that up. We are going to lose the arts if we don't stand up as a community theater. Children need things such as live theater and drama and this is a great show with several wonderful messages. It's powerful and meaningful and very entertaining."
The show will be staged at 11 a.m. Saturday and tickets will be $6.
There also will be a magician and a performance by the students of GASP following the show.

September 9, 2011
State University of New York Empire State College has been named a top online college and a "Best Buy" for consumers in the online education sector by GetEducated, a consumer group that publishes online university rankings, for its affordable online bachelor's degree in business.
The group has justreleased its list of the Best Colleges Online.
The college's Bachelor of Science in Business, Management and Economics ranked No. 13 out of 136 options.
"This ranking just reinforces what we already know about our online degree programs," said Tom Mackey, interim dean of the college's Center for Distance Learning. "Because we are part of the State University of New York, our degree programs in business and in 10 other areas of study, are trusted by our students and the public at large, who expect quality, credibility as well as affordability, from our undergraduate and graduate programs.

You will assume the role of Christof. You are interested in doing a sequel to "The Truman Show," but you need some financial support. What points can be made in a speech regarding this situation?

1 Answer
The original question had to be edited. I think that one of the most important points that Christof would make is that reality television still works. Reality television sells. The fascination with "The Truman Show" would demonstrate that. Perhaps, part of the speech would contain a rephrase of the opening lines to the film in that we, as human beings, seem to reject "pyrotechnics" and elaborate design. Rather, we seem to be content with seeing the lives of others depicted on television in a "real" manner. This is why the show was such a success and why a reality sequel seems to make sense. Even though reality television has saturated the market, there does not seem to be enough of it. Given the success of the show, I think that this becomes one of Chrystof's most convincing arguments as to why a sequel should be funded.
Another reason that Chrystof might make in a speech would have to do with his use of product placement. Chrystof was ahead of his time in understanding the commercial and social power of product placement. It became part of the reality television landscape and such innovation can be persuasively used to make the case for funding a sequel. Chrystof's creative and commercial visions are strong enough cases to be made in a speech that would justify the financial backing for a sequel.

Round the Clock Challenges for Marc VDS in 2014
Posted by: newsla on Mar 18, 2014 - 08:37 PM
Round the Clock Challenges for Marc VDS in 2014
For BMW Sports Trophy Team Marc VDS, the new season sees a focus on the two toughest events in GT racing â the 24 Hours of Nürburgring, and the 24 Hours of Spa. Both events will push the team, their BMW Z4 GT3 machinery and the drivers to the limit.
Their calendar also sees them take on the VLN, the endurance series based entirely on the Nürburgring Nordschleife and the new-for-2014 24 Hours of Nürburgring qualifying race. These offer a chance to get as much mileage as possible on the track, with endurance races up to six hours long.
Mileage is vital, as the Nordschleife truly deserves the term âuniqueâ â it is a 26km challenge, where most circuits are less than a quarter of that length. On the combined Grand Prix loop, there are 170 turns. It is fast, narrow and in several places, the cars are airborne, including at the famous âFlugplatzâ.
It is not just the track that is tough, either, as the VLN and 24 Hours of Nürburgring â where Marc VDS earned second place in 2013 â see around 200 cars on the track at anyone time, ranging from the top SP9 cars like the Marc VDS BMW Z4 GT3s, to family hatchbacks and old saloons. There is nothing else like it in motor racing.
The 24 Hours of Spa is a similar challenge in some ways â it, too, lasts for two revolutions of a standard clock, and features GT3 cars as its top class â but in many ways, it is extremely different. There are âonlyâ around 80 cars at the start, and all are GT3 specification. The entries are split into class by the grading of their drivers, so there are pro teams, pro-am teams and amateur teams. Marc VDS will compete in the pro class.
The circuit is one of the most daunting in motorsport, a fast and flowing challenge with famous turns like Eau Rouge and Blanchimont providing a huge thrill for drivers and fans. Though it is more modern in many ways than the Nordschleife, it still excites drivers throughout the world â most name it among their favourite tracks.
The team will count on support from BMW Motorsport both on the engineering and the driving side, with a number of BMW works drivers joining the squad. The line-ups for the 24 Hours of Nürburgring are as follows:
BMW Z4 GT3 #25: Maxime Martin (BEL), Uwe Alzen (DEU), Jörg Müller (DEU), Marco Wittmann (DEU)
BMW Z4 GT3 #26: Markus Palttala (FIN), Nick Catsburg (NED), Bas Leinders (BEL), Dirk Adorf (DEU)
Drivers for the 24 Hours of Spa will be announced in due course.
Sebastien Metz, Technical Director
âFrom my point of view Iâm hugely excited to once again be working closely with BMW Motorsport. Itâs a brand we all dream of racing with when we are young and so itâs great for us to continue our strong partnership. This calendar is not easy on the technical side, but that will only motivate us to work harder! Taking on two 24-hour endurance events, so close together, is extremely demanding for everyone involved. Many teams spend an entire year preparing for one race like this! But I believe we can do it. Iâm raring to go.â
Nick Catsburg, #26 BMW Z4 GT3
âAfter my first race at the Nordschleife last year, I knew I wanted to return. Iâm very pleased to return with Marc VDS and this strong line up. To win on my debut was great, but Iâm well aware that was something of a lucky shot! I want to use these VLN races as preparation for the team, but also for myself â I have to learn about all the different weather conditions. My race was totally dry! I know Bas and Markus well, and to have Dirk Adorf with me is great â heâs got so much experience on this track. Itâs awesome to come into my first 24 Hours of Nürburgring with a chance of winning, and especially with BMW Motorsport, who have such a huge reputation here. Iâm excited.â
Bas Leinders, Team Principal
âFor us, 2014 is all about doing the right preparation in order to be in the best possible position to win these huge races. 24-hour races are so difficult, so demanding, that no matter your preparation you can never be sure of anything. But we will do everything we can to ensure that we are in the best shape. We were very competitive in the last couple of years in both races, so we can be sure the pressure is on this time round! Weâve learned a lot in the last couple of years, and our knowledge of the car and each other as a team and now I think we are as ready as ever. Itâs fantastic to once again be able to count on BMW Motorsport as a partner.â
The 2014 calendar for BMW Sports Trophy Team Marc VDS is as follows:
21-22nd March 2014 â VLN Test
29th March 2014 â VLN1
5-6th April 2014 â ADAC Qualifying Race for 24 Hours of Nürburgring
12th April 2014 â VLN2
26th April 2014 â VLN3
17th May 2014 â VLN4
19-22nd June 2014 â ADAC Zürich 24 Hour Race, Nüburgring
23-27th July 2014 â Total 24 Hours of Spa

This Sunday night our very own little YouTube ninjas Joey Graceffa and Strawburry17 will set off on an "amazing" adventure around the world (okay, they've already gone on the adventure, but we finally get to see it). Needless to say, we're pretty pumped to finally see them in action.
We just know they're gonna kill it.
They trained extra hard to get in amazing shape.
So that they could do things like this.
And whatever is happening here.
We can't wait to see their journey. We love you Joey & Meghan!!!

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The room was excellent. The standard of food in the restaurant was high.
Brand new business hotel with very big room and bathroom. No mini bar
The decor, extreme comfort, courtesy of staff, cleanliness,food, view, bathroom. Everything! There was nothing we didn't like!
The staff were excellent from the very first welcome. The rooms are very spacious, spotlessly clean and well equipped. The restaurant was very good and the food first class. It would be a good idea to have a menu in English in the restaurant as Dutch is not a very commonly spoken language internationally. (French or German would also be acceptable but English remains most uiniversal.)
Superb accommodation and service,high quality cuisine and a very warm welcome from reception staff. I hope that there will be better directions identifying hotel from main road for overseas visitors.
Peaople had good landuage skills
The room was comfortable, the bathroom was excellent. The breakfast buffet was good. The surroundings aren't very nice.
We always have an enjoyable trip witht he Amicitia, the staff accomodated us well with my husbands bad back, the rooms are very comfortable as is the whole hotel, highly recommend it as a family hotel too. I am thinking about having my 50 birthday party there next year!
Quiet, comfortable with attentive staff. Regularly use this hotel when we are in Sneek
In general, reasonably ok for a 3 stars hotel but not for a 4 stars. Problem with the hot water, breakfast not that goog as expected
Very large free parking, free wireless internet, very large closets in the bedroom The whole sum was charged on the credit card when checking in (instead of just running the card for authorization, as usual). It was impossible to get an 'extended' (!) check out at 12:30 (after 4 nights). Variety at breakfast was poor: considering that this is 4- star hotel as many Hiltons are, E.G. Bremen, Mainz City, Innsbruck, Bonn, Florence.....and thinking of the difference of the breakfast buffet, one realizes how little stars mean without the hotel's name. If one has to stay in Sneek, then I recommend it
Warm greeting on arrival ease of use of facilities and knowing we can have our teenage daughter in the same room as ourselves
location absence of free internet access; absence of in-room air conditioning made it necessary to sleep with windows open, which led to mosquitos in room
Good location, adjacent to highway, yet quiet. Interesting room decor and spacious beds, unusual restaurant.
it was ok
Friendly staff, clean rooms
Helpful staff when we couldn't get an internet connection. Lots of TV channels Apparently internet only available in room 6 not throughout hotel as advertised. Poor lighting & not enough electrical outlets - you can either have the TV & digital box plugged in or a lamp. Breakfast was good the last time we stayed here but not so much this time.
Staff was friendly. Dinner excellent. Breakfast good Unable to get an internet connection in the room
Very friendly staff, good restaurant, rooms are a bit outdated but comfortoble enough compared to the price.
The hotel staff is very good.The reception is excellent. Breakfast very good. I will return as soon as the opportunity arises
Staff were very helpful and friendly. Service level was high. Could not fault them.
Environment; superb breakfast Very por lighting in bathroom
Nice place with a good view from the rooms. Good heating - room warmed up quickly. Free WiFi. Multi-channel telly. Excellent shower and flannels were provided. Breakfast lacked choice - but then, they weren't expecting us... No bath towels - made do with 2 hand towels.
Great personal interaction with owners. Difficult to find after dark due to lack of lighted signage.
The restaurant had a great ambiance. Nice wine selection. Beautifully decorated. Breakfast was not well organized. The room was not nicely decorated and the bathroom was almost clinical, would have fit better in a hospital than a hotel. The common areas of the hotel were nice, but the quality of the room definitiely didn't meet our expectations considering the "big city price" that was charged.
Centrally located in beautiful old town. Excellent service from all staff, very helpful. Great buffet breakfast. Clean and tidy.
Great location, clean and nice The very purple colour on the walls, the layout of toilet, sink and shower in different locations. (this was only in one of our two rooms)
Good location, helpful staff, reasonable breakfast arrangements including at anti-social hours Smell in the bathroom, lack of noise insulation from the street and the corridor outside of the room, lack of nearby parking, lack of safe for valuables in the room
nothing special, we stay only for one night to go to friends on their boat
The service in the restaurant was very slow but the food was good. The bathroom are basic with poor lighting. The bathtub leaked.
Perfect location in the town center. Nice restourant. Extra fee for Hotel parking 10 EUR/day
lot of TV channels cafe not open during daytime
I was very impressed that the hotel provided a full breakfast at 5 in the morning.
The location was excellent, I used to live in Sneek, so I knew this!
Helpful staff local noise at night - city nightlife location
Great staff, Hotel needs an overhaul, rooms are minute to say the least. Missed some amenities like shampoo and other bathroom accessories. Climbing the staircases with a large luggage was a challenge
Located in the city center of one of Fiesland´s great towns, this hotel is situated near historical buildings and some fine bars and restaurants
Location/ combination cafe restaurant hotel/Clean but functional rooms/ Friendly staff
Central position and friendly staff. Bedrooms need modernising and upgrading, noise from street and club.
Location and the prise
It was a great place for our stay. Good location for visiting the city. No parking at hotel. We had to leave our car at a public lot two blocks away.
Loved the location, and the warm feeling of the bar/restaurant. a slightly better grade of toilet paper would be nice :-)
Hotel has a lot of character and charm. The owner was friendly, hospitable, and gave a great personality to an already decent hotel. Truly felt welcome in a unique place. A little noisy.

The Drifter Kite is specially designed for kitesurfing in waves and surf freestyle. The industry's number one surf kite is back with two new bridle tuning options. One tuning option optimizes performance for offshore wind conditions, and the other optimizes performance for onshore winds. Its standout characteristic, coined "Slack Line Drift", defines its exceptional ability to drift downwind and stay aloft when the lines are slackened. This has put the Drifter kite at the top of its class.
Dominating the podium with 2x World Kitesurfing Wave Championship titles in both the men's and women's divisions, it delivers a perfect blend of the best elements of surfing and kitesurfing. The Drifter's ability to get you up and going with a short depower travel allows you to drop in, accelerate, then dump the power completely to snap or carve turns.
2DRCabrinha's exclusive line of high-quality woven fabrics has been designed specifically for kitesurfing. Unlike many of the generic sailcloths available in today's kites, the Volae materials have been specially developed to our exact specifications. The development process has taken over 5 years to create this dedicated kite material, which delivers the lowest stretch and highest durability on the market.
FrameAll Cabrinha kites are designed and built on a Skeletal Frame foundation. They start by placing the most durable, 160 gsm Dacron material into a framework that locks in the intended shape. Cabrinha creates the canopy shape and profiles with a light weight yet highly durable 53 gsm polyester woven material. They build on the durability of the canopy material with a second layer of 53 gsm two-ply material over the high stress strut sections. Next, Cabrinha layers into the perimeter a 75 gsm, double ripstop reinforcement material to combat the extreme loads that are placed on the trailing edge and wing tip areas of the kite. Cabrinha completes the kite with details such as molded EVA chafe protectors, robust leading edge protectors, and triple row stitching at the high stress inter-segment seams near the center of the kite. In the end, they seal it all up with a woven nylon ribbon reinforcement on the leading edge closing seam.
ArcA dynamic arc allows the kite to have two distinct arc shapes. The kite takes on one shape while flying, and another shape while in resting mode on the water. The flying shape occurs as soon as the kite gets airborne and the front lines are under tension. The flying shape is the kite's intended shape which is optimized for the intended usage. The arc shape is held in place by a simple set of bridling. The dynamic arc shape occurs when the kite is not in flight, such as when the kite is resting on the water in relaunch mode. The dynamic arc allows the kite to open its span and orient the wingtips in a position to facilitate a super quick relaunch.
Inflation SystemThe Sprint Inflation System with Airlock is the most efficient and easy way to get your kite pumped up. The large one-way Airlock valve quickly feeds air into all of the struts from a single location. The Airlock connection to the Sprint pump now requires no special adapters. Once inflated, you can lock off each strut independently to keep your kite's rigid frame, and isolate any accidental strut deflation from the rest of the kite. When the session is over, the entire kite will deflate in seconds thanks to the Airlock valve's large dump feature.
Power ControlPower Control settings quickly adjust the power level of the kite. Each rear line "pig tail" connector has three power positions which you can connect to. The middle position is the factory recommended position. Create more power by connecting the knot closest to the kite or less power by connecting to the knot closest to the rider.
Slackline DriftWhile surfing it's sometimes important to depower the kite to the point where you can surf on your own wave generated power without the pull of the kite. It's here that the Drifter is able to stay aloft and drift downwind with you. When the time calls for it, you can immediately power up the kite and make the next section.
Wing TipCabrinha offer multiple tuning options this season which completely change the way a kite flies. These options allow you to customize the feedback and bar pressure, adjust where the kite sits in the window, and balance the power/ de-power range of the kite. Cabrinha highly recommends testing the different settings for yourself to find out what feels the best to you.
SecurityThe 1X is not a depower system, it is a full blown shut down system. The 1X relies on only one line to immediately shut down the power of the kite whether it be on land or water in all wind conditions.
