Featured Item of the Week = Gyros
Looking back on a great vacation!
Last year at this time, I had recently returned from a trip to Germany where I had the opportunity to see and taste my way from Frankfurt down to Munich. Along the way, we ate some wonderful meals... sausages, beef rouladen, cabbage, dumplings... some more sausages, spaetzle, wonderful breads and pastries... and yes, even more sausages!
Surprising Food Finds... more than just sausages
I was surprised to see one food that was extremely popular, not only in the larger cities, it was also making an appearance in many of the smaller towns. We learned that most businesses in Germany are closed on Sundays (even some of the major fast food chains close at 1:00pm)... but one restaurant was actually open Sunday night. They seemed to be the only one open in this major city, and the food they were offering was the same one I had been noticing as being very popular along our route.
What is everyone waiting in line for?
People were packed into this very busy café standing three deep at the counter waiting to order. So what was everyone waiting in line for?? Believe it or not, people were waiting to order Gyros (one of the most mispronounced words in the food world). The word Gyro is Greek and is pronounced (YEE-ros) and comes from the Greek, γύρος ("turn"). Growing up near Chicago, I was familiar with this food, but I was surprised to see it so popular in Germany.
Couldn't resist the smells
As we walked into the restaurant, there was a four foot spit of meat roasting behind the counter. The smell permeated into the street, and you could hardly resist not going in to sample a taste. We were very hungry, and there was no other place open in the whole city, so it was even more tempting. The carver sharpened his long knife across a steel and expertly cut off paper thin slices of the meat as it turned ever-so-slowly on the spit. This meat gets loaded into a freshly grilled piece of flatbread and is topped with lettuce, tomatoes, shredded cucumber, cucumber sauce, and feta cheese. I have had many Gyros before in my life, but this one was definatly the best. Walking around the whole city for 2 hours looking for a place that was open probably contributed to the satisfying taste of the hot sandwich.
Gyros are a combination of ground beef, ground lamb, breadcrumbs, water, oregano, and other spices fused together under great pressure. This mixture is frozen and sold to restaurants which cook the pressed ground meat on large vertical roasters. The top producers of Gyro meat in the United States are all located in the Chicago area, where the dish is said to have had its origin here in the late 1960's and early 1970's.
The first person to make Gyros in the US is often debated, but an interesting article from the NY Times (listed below) goes further into the debate and provides some history/origin of the dish here in the US. If you have a chance to read the article, you will see the writer chose Kronos as his main contact for the subject. Here at UNC, we use Kronos Gyro meat and pitas. Although we do not use the vertical spits, the meat is the same recipe used for the traditional gyro cones.
Try our GYROS in the dining rooms this week!
Gyros are wonderful with a pita that is hot off the grill and then topped with your choice of tomatoes, lettuce, black olives, feta cheese, cucumbers, onions, and cucumber sauce. Whether you have tried them before and love them or not, we hope you will join us in the dining rooms and have a taste of this quick and enjoyable food that is becoming a sensation across the globe.

FLORENCE, S.C. – Pee Dee Electric Cooperative presented two checks totaling $74,000 to Francis Marion University for scholarships on April 20.
The donations bring Pee Dee Electric's total FMU scholarship contributions to nearly $225,000 to date.
The first check, for $60,000, represents the company's commitment to the Pee Dee Electric Cooperative Scholars Program for 2000-01. The money will provide 17 full-time students with full-fee scholarships. The scholarships are renewable for up to four years of undergraduate study, based on availability of funds and subject to successful academic progress of the student. A student must maintain a minimum 2.75 grade point average to retain the scholarship.
The second check, for $14,000, establishes the Pee Dee Electric Cooperative/Thomas B. Cunningham Scholarship at Francis Marion. The full-fee, four-year scholarship is in memory of Cunningham, who served as a Pee Dee Electric Cooperative Board of Trustees member for 32 years and died in November 1999. He represented District 3, Darlington, on the board, and served as its secretary/treasurer from 1973 until his death.
The recipient of this scholarship must have an SAT score of 1100 or higher and demonstrate financial need. The award will be made to an incoming freshman and is renewable for up to four years if the recipient continues to meet the eligibility requirements and maintains a minimum 3.0 grade point average.
"We are deeply appreciative of Pee Dee Electric's gift," said FMU President Luther F. "Fred" Carter. "You can spend money on a great number of things, but no expenditure is more worthy or enduring than money spent on scholarships."
"We believe that getting a good education is one of the most important things young people can do for themselves as they enter adulthood and begin to make their way in the world," said Robert Williams, Pee Dee Electric CEO. "Their futures and the futures of our communities depend on the educational support the students receive now."
These scholarships are awarded to dependent children of Pee Dee Electric Cooperative members or dependent children of full-time employees within Chesterfield, Darlington, Dillon, Florence, Marion and Lee counties where the cooperative provides service.

(CNSNews.com) - When asked directly if it was definite that the Democratic presidential ticket would remain Obama/Biden, White House Spokesperson Jay Carney gave an emphatic "yes".
During Thursday's White House press briefing Carney was asked, "Is it still once and for all – all this speculation, this is the ticket - Obama/Biden?"
"Yes, and that was settled a long, long time ago and while I appreciate, I have great admiration for and respect for and a long relationship with Senator John McCain, but the one place I would not go to for advice on vice presidential running mates is to Senator McCain," Carney said in response.
There has been some speculation that Joe Biden's recent verbal gaffes on the campaign trail may lead to him being dropped from the ticket in favor of former presidential candidate and current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
During a Fox News interview on Wednesday, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said it would be "wise" for Vice President Joe Biden to be removed from the ticket.

ISLANDIA, N.Y., October 25, 2012 – CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) today reported financial results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2013, ended September 30, 2012.
"While we had anticipated that several areas of our business would be down in the second quarter, our new product and capacity sales fell short of our expectations," said Bill McCracken, chief executive officer, CA Technologies. "Our performance was also affected by the weakening global economy, which elongated sales cycles. Despite this difficult environment, we were able to meet our expectations for margin through disciplined expense management.
"We will continue to implement our customer market segmentation model, introduce new products and solutions throughout the second half, and build out our partner network. We also will manage carefully our expenses to drive healthy operating margins for the full year," said McCracken.
About 63 percent of the Company's revenue came from North America, while 37 percent came from International operations.
Revenue year-over-year:
Bookings year-over-year:
Year-over-year GAAP results:
Year-over-year non-GAAP results exclude purchased software and other intangibles amortization, share-based compensation, and certain other gains and losses. The results also include gains and losses on hedges that mature within the quarter, but exclude gains and losses of hedges that do not mature within the quarter.
For the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company's effective GAAP tax rate was 32.1 percent, compared with 27.8 percent in the prior year period. The Company's effective non-GAAP tax rate was 30.8 percent, compared with 31.5 percent in the prior year period.
GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012 were adversely affected by $44 million in costs, or about $0.06 per share, associated with a workforce reduction. GAAP and non-GAAP operating margin in last year's second quarter also were adversely affected by 3 percentage points each by the workforce reduction.
Cash flow from continuing operations in the second quarter was $89 million, compared with $190 million in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in cash collections as a result of lower billings.
During the second quarter the Company:
***IDC, Worldwide Cloud Systems Management Software 2011 Vendor Shares: Market Moves Beyond Self-Service, Doc #236556 August 2012.
The Company updated its revenue and GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations and cash flow from continuing operations guidance for fiscal year 2013. The following guidance consists of "forward-looking statements" (as defined below).
The Company expects the following:
This outlook also assumes no material acquisitions and a partial currency hedge of operating income. The Company expects a full-year GAAP operating margin of 30 percent, down from the previously stated 31 percent and continues to expect a non-GAAP operating margin of 36 percent. The Company also continues to expect an effective full-year GAAP and non-GAAP tax rate to come in closer to the high-end of the 30 to 31 percent provided at the outset of the fiscal year.
The Company anticipates approximately 449 million shares outstanding at fiscal year 2013 year-end and weighted average diluted shares outstanding of approximately 458 million for the fiscal year.
The Company also said it is modifying its long-term guidance. While the multi-year guidance previously provided is the proper set of long-term financial objectives for CA Technologies, the Company now expects the timeline to achieve these objectives will be extended beyond its original expectations.
This news release and the accompanying tables should be read in conjunction with additional content that is available on the Company's website, including a supplemental financial package, as well as a webcast that the Company will host at 5 p.m. ET today to discuss its unaudited second quarter results. The webcast will be archived on the website. Individuals can access the webcast, as well as this press release and supplemental financial information, at http://ca.com/invest or listen to the call at 1-877-561-2748. The international participant number is 1-720-545-0044.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release, the accompanying tables and the additional content that is available on the Company's website, including a supplemental financial package, includes certain financial measures that exclude the impact of certain items and therefore have not been calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Non-GAAP metrics for operating expenses, operating income, operating margin, income from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share exclude the following items: non-cash amortization of purchased software and other intangibles, share-based compensation, fiscal year 2007 restructuring costs and certain other gains and losses, which includes the gains and losses since inception of hedges that mature within the quarter, but exclude gains and losses of hedges that do not mature within the quarter. In fiscal year 2011, non-GAAP income also excludes recoveries and certain costs associated with derivative litigation matters. The effective tax rate on GAAP and non-GAAP income from operations is the Company's provision for income taxes expressed as a percentage of pre-tax GAAP and non-GAAP income from continuing operations, respectively. Such tax rates are determined based on an estimated effective full year tax rate, with the effective tax rate for GAAP generally including the impact of discrete items in the period such items arise and the effective tax rate for non-GAAP generally allocating the impact of discrete items pro rata to the fiscal year's remaining reporting periods. Adjusted cash flow from operations excludes restructuring and other payments. Free cash flow excludes purchases of property, equipment and capitalized software development costs. We present constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. To present this information, current and comparative prior period results for entities reporting in currencies other than US dollars are converted into US dollars at the exchange rate in effect on March 31, 2012, which was the last day of our prior fiscal year. Constant currency excludes the impacts from the Company's hedging program. The constant currency calculation for annualized subscription and maintenance bookings is calculated by dividing the subscription and maintenance bookings in constant currency by the weighted average subscription and maintenance duration in years. These non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. By excluding these items, non-GAAP financial measures facilitate management's internal comparisons to the Company's historical operating results and cash flows, to competitors' operating results and cash flows, and to estimates made by securities analysts. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate its performance and they are key variables in determining management incentive compensation. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency of supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. In addition, the Company has historically reported similar non-GAAP financial measures to its investors and believes that the inclusion of comparative numbers provides consistency in its financial reporting. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this news release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, which are attached to this news release.

Arthritis & Rheumatism, Volume 63,
November 2011 Abstract Supplement
Abstracts of the American College of
Rheumatology/Association of Rheumatology Health Professionals
Annual Scientific Meeting
Chicago, Illinois November 4-9, 2011.
Muscle Area and Muscle Quality Relate to Physical Activity in Subjects with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Khoja, Samannaaz S., Almeida, Gustavo JM, Goodpaster, Bret H., Piva, Sara R.
People with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) experience a reduction in lean muscle mass and an increase in fat mass due to metabolic abnormalities caused by the disease. Low lean muscle mass associates with decreased muscle strength and physical function, and may play a role in the low levels of physical activity (PA) reported in this population. To our knowledge, direct associations between lean muscle mass and PA have not been established in RA. Investigating this relationship may help optimize strategies to improve PA participation. In addition to muscle mass, muscle quality may also affect PA. Muscle quality may be characterized by its muscle attenuation (MA) coefficient and provides information about amount of fatty tissue present within the muscle. Studies in other populations suggest that increased intramuscular fat affects overall muscle function. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of thigh muscle area and muscle quality and PA in subjects with RA
Cross-sectional study on 17 subjects with RA (age 61.5± 10.6 yrs; RA duration 17.2 ± 3 yrs; BMI 30.6 ± 7.6 kg/m2; 13 female). PA was measured at several low intensity levels by the Sense Wear armband, a multi-sensor portable activity monitor that provides data on energy expenditure (EE) of PA performed above 1 metabolic equivalent level (PAEE>=1MET), EE of PA performed above 2METs (PAEE>=2METs), and EE of PA performed above 3METs (PAEE>=3METs). Mid-thigh cross-sectional area (CSA) of each leg was measured by computed tomography (CT), and averaged for both sides. The mean MA of the mid-thigh CSA was calculated for each leg using the Slice-O-matic software, and averaged for both sides. MA coefficient ranges from 0 to 100 Hounsfield units (HU), higher numbers indicate lower intramuscular fat and better muscle quality. We calculated the correlations between mid-thigh CSA and MA with PAEE above 1, 2 and 3 METs. We accounted for body size in the analysis by controlling for BMI.
Total mid-thigh CSA and mean MA both showed positive associations of moderate strength with PAEE>=1MET, PAEE>=2METs and PAEE>=3METs after controlling for BMI. Results suggest that subjects with higher area of thigh muscle and lower amount of intramuscular fat have higher levels of PA. Variable descriptives and semi-partial correlation coefficients are depicted in the Table.
Table. Associations between Muscle Cross-sectional Area (CSA) and Mean Muscle Attenuation (MA) Coefficients with Physical Activity Energy Expenditure (PAEE)
The findings suggest that perhaps improving muscle mass and muscle quality may lead to an increase in PA participation in patients with RA. An increased participation in physical activities reduces cardiovascular risk, which is an important predictor of morbidity and mortality in RA. In order to optimize interventions to promote PA participation, future longitudinal trials should consider the effects of muscle mass and quality while investigating changes in PA.

anton at appsolutions.com responded to me: > Then here's a dumb question: I do this all the time: > > (let* ([x (first L)] > [p (first x)] > [q (second x)]) I think that's fine, although you can see an aspect of the issue I'm referring to in the above. [How about] (let ([x (first L)]) (let ([p (first x)] [q (second x)]) I guess that's fine, Anton! It looks nice, and the only cost is the extra indentation. Maybe what confused me is that I use a variable width font in DrScheme, Helvetica 24, which has just one indentation problem: To line up p & q indented, I need to skip a line: (let ([x (first L)]) (let ([p (first x)] [q (second x)]) ...)) Now I'll respond to you substantively, and then quit. But I solved my Math problem which DrScheme was aiding me on, and I feel wordy: You're making a good point, that there are advantages to unspecified order of evaluation. I'm surprised you were able to convince me of this. But surely these advantages are too small in this PLT context: 1) MF's crew of theorem provers must have a fixed order of evaluation, for otherwise, as you say, the semantics are ambiguous, i.e. the compiler is not a function/algorithm. 2) As you explained, the historical reason for unspecified eval order is C compiler speed. It's not even a Scheme idea! Again, MF's crew of theorem provers are sharp enough to overcome the disadvantage of fixed left->right eval order. So they do it. They can & they must. 3) Your let vs let* modification of my code looks better to me. It brings out your message: p and q both depend on x, but not on each other. But let has similar expressiveness problems! In the code (let ([x foo] [y goo] [z zoo]) ...) the order of evaluation of foo, goo & zoo may well matter! To us, it might look like it shouldn't, but all we know by not using let* is that x can't occur freely in goo or zoo, etc. Mzscheme is gonna evaluate foo, goo & zoo in order. 4) I feel that the real issue isn't expressiveness, but compatibility. Mzscheme is a fundamentally different language than R5RS Scheme. As John Clements explained, an R5RS Scheme isn't valid until the programmer proves to him or herself that their program does not depend on order of evaluation! In Mzscheme, you don't have to prove it, and as you say, the programmers won't prove it, and then their programs will misfire on other fine Scheme interpreters. (Actually I don't know: Do Larceny, Gambit & Trotsky do left->right eval order?) But I'm in favor of deviation myself. As Shriram posted a long time ago, we don't think of Python and Pearl as being dialects of the same language, so why Mzscheme & Guile? That's kinda like shooting fish in a barrel, but think big: why Mzscheme & anyscheme?

RPM New Features
A few RPM developers from Red Hat and Novell met at the openSUSE Conference 2009 in September. The results of the meeting are now online.
The idea for an RPM community meeting of Novell and Red Hat developers came up at LinuxTag 2009, where openSUSE community manager Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier invited Red Hat developer Florian Festi to Nuremberg. Novell's Pavol Rusnak has now publicized a detailed report on the meeting. Included as RPM experts from Novell were SUSE developers Michael Schroeder, Klaus Kaempf and Stanislav Wisnovsky, and Red Hat developers Festi, Panu Matilainen, Seth Vidal and James Antill, among others.
One result from the meeting is introducing soft dependencies in the new official version of RPM. Soft dependencies are keywords that recommend further packets for installation. If and how Red Hat is to implement them in
is still being discussed, but they will definitely go into RPM.
Another result is file triggers, which should make package builds easier by removing scriptlets in spec files (such as
%post/%postun -p /sbin/ldconfig
). Mandriva already uses this feature, so the RPM team wants to extend it to RPM. In the same breath, the team agreed to introduce two new scriptlets,
, to help in clean package updates.
Not part of the official RPM code is DeltaRPM, which creates a binary delta of two PRM packages. The source code for this feature will remain in Gitorious for the time being.
RPM developers also wanted a new payload format, because the current CPIO format has a file size limit of 8 GBytes. CPIO is good for most packages, but presents problems for distributing appliance images as RPMs, for example.
Aside from these feature changes, the RPM team has a few more on their "top 10" list. The complete report is in Pavol Rusnak's blog.
great postThanks a lot for sharing the article on cash. That's a awesome article. I enjoyed the article a lot while reading. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful article.I want to say very thank you for this great informations. now i understand about it. Thank you !
RPM New FeaturesA few RPM developers from Red Hat and Novell met at the openSUSE Conference 2009 in September. The results of the meeting are now online. Should you think that the title of this post is useful, odds are you are considering about using Linux as your primary or even just an alternative Os when you're just sick of your old system. However many think that Linux is too complicated that it appeals only to geeks, Linux-magazine.com can prove that this fantastic operating system is actually for everyone. It is often fascinating to read about RPM New Features.

Ha. I really like this.
If you're advertising a product like this you have to get a little edgy.
Great ad.

feed you; they want you to taste the countryside and to be
surrounded by pictures and artefacts that will help you enjoy the
food even more. It works: there are few places, anywhere, with as
much heart and soul as the Dartmoor Inn. Gastro Pub

The Sturbridge Board of Health (BoH), like all local Boards of Health in Massachusetts, is required by state statutes and regulations to perform many duties relative to the protection of public health including the control of disease, the promotion of sanitary living conditions and the protection of the environment from damage and pollution. This is accomplished through the inspection of food establishments, on-site wastewater systems, wells, public accommodations (hotels/motels/inns), housing, pools and beaches; the investigation of communicable diseases and nuisances; and the oversight of solid waste management and recycling. Many of the board's responsibilities are also coordinated with housing and plumbing inspections and the department of public works as well as other regional and state agencies.
The Board meets the first and third Mondays of each month, typically, at the Center Office Building 301 Main St., 2nd Floor at 5:30PM. The BoH agenda and meeting locations are posted on the town main page under town news in accordance with the Massachusetts Open Meeting Law.
Mosquito Awareness and Precautions
The Central Massachusetts Mosquito Control Project (CMMCP) is a regional effort whose goal is to reduce mosquito exposure to the public, and the potential for disease transmission by mosquitoes, by utilizing proven, sound mosquito control techniques.
CMMCP personnel will be in the community to investigate resident's complaints about mosquitoes in the Fall and Spring of each year.

Houston TX (SPX) Sep 17, 2008
The Texas National Guard has contracted with SkyPort Global Communications to provide satellite communications solutions throughout the state for ongoing operations, training exercises and in emergencies like recent Hurricane Ike.
As part of the agreement, the Guard will co-locate routers at SkyPort's secure teleport facility at the Ellington Field Joint Reserve Base in Houston and also provide connectivity to dedicated T-1 lines at the Guard's headquarters at Camp Mabry in Austin.
Under the contract, SkyPort will supply ongoing satellite access and up to 5 MHz of bandwidth, giving the Guard access to the world-wide communications network in the event of a loss of land-based network access.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Ike, the Texas National Guard is deploying terminals to have emergency communications in place of the terrestrial network for Guard units and other first responders.
The category 2 hurricane has left terrestrial networks inoperable, with power outages affecting most of the region. Thus, SkyPort's satellite communications solutions are critical to speeding recovery efforts.
In addition to the Texas National Guard, SkyPort is also supporting four Florida National Guard Emergency Communications trailers that were deployed into the area to aid the Guards efforts in keeping first responders connected during this trying time.
"We are proud to add the Texas National Guard to our growing list of Guard units that contract directly with SkyPort for satellite service," said Michael Polmar, Vice President of Sales for SkyPort.
"SkyPort has been the preferred supplier to the National Guard Bureau since 2004 and is now contracting directly with State Guards to increase their communications capabilities in times of emergency and for training. Our service will insure that the citizens of Texas can depend on the Guard throughout the hurricane season."
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, SkyPort won the prestigious Minuteman Award from the National Guard for providing a high-level of satellite communications support to units responding to the disaster throughout the Southeast.
"During the past four years I can honestly exclaim SkyPort's solutions have delivered excellent and exceptional service in times of calm and disaster to the National Guard of Texas. SkyPort is an agile, responsive and reliable industry partner," said Colonel Janice E. Bruno of the Texas National Guard.
"Our number one goal in the Texas National Guard communications directorate is to provide seamless, secure, and always available communications to our customers. SkyPort delivers exactly that, and this assurance gives us the satisfaction of knowing we can count on SkyPort anytime, anywhere."

I then found a few more streams, and achieved success in getting them playing in XBMC, so decided to share with you. Hopefully you can also share any live streaming URL's you're using with us.
The Generic Procedure
- Find the stream URL (see below for some links/help on this)
- Create a text file called "whatever.strm" and paste the stream URL (with any extra parameters) into the file (see below for some sample URLs)
- Save the file somewhere where XBMC can see it.
- In XBMC, go to Videos, make sure you are not in Library mode and browse to where your whatever.strm file is.
- Select your stream.
- Enjoy live streaming.
- Specific Examples
Here are some specific examples. These are the URL's (with paramaters) you'll want to put in your .strm file.
ISS Live Feed:
Al Jazeera English:
rtmp://livestfslivefs.fplive.net/livestfslive-live/ playpath=aljazeera_en_veryhigh?videoId=747084146001&lineUpId=&pubId=665003303001&playerId=751182905001&affiliateId= pageURL=http://english.aljazeera.net/watch_now/ app=aljazeeraflashlive-live?videoId=747084146001&lineUpId=&pubId=665003303001&playerId=751182905001&affiliateId= swfUrl=http://admin.brightcove.com/viewer/us1.24.04.08.2011-01-14072625/federatedVideoUI/BrightcovePlayer.swf swfVfy=true live=true
France 24 English:
rtmp://stream2.france24.yacast.net/france24_live/en playpath=f24_liveen app=france24_live/en pageURL=http://www.france24.com/en/aef_player_popup/france24_player swfUrl=http://www.france24.com/en/sites/all/modules/maison/aef_player/flash/player.swf live=true
RT.com English (I'm assuming RT stands for Russia Today or something similar?):
rtmp://fms5.visionip.tv/live app=live swfUrl=http://rt.com/s/swf/player5.4.viral.swf pageURL=http://rt.com/on-air/ playpath=RT_3 live=true
HOW-TO Find More Feeds
- Search the internet - http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/f...t?sort=hot has a list of more than a dozen, mostly news channels in various languages. See below for instructions on how to turn an rtmpdump command line into something XBMC recognizes.
- Use various tools to extract stream URLs. I don't know anything about how to do this, so I just search the internets instead. If someone has a great HOW-TO on doing this, please post!
- HOW-TO Turn that rtmpdump commandline you found into something XBMC recognizes
Ok, so you've found a great rtmpdump (as in the Reddit link above) that pipes the live stream into mplayer for viewing. That's great, but we're using XBMC. Here is how the rtmpdump command line options correspond to the parameters XBMC expects.
Let's take Al Jazeera as an example:
rtmpdump -v -r rtmp://livestfslivefs.fplive.net/livestfslive-live/ -y "aljazeera_en_veryhigh?videoId=747084146001&lineUpId=&pubId=665003303001&playerId=751182905001&affiliateId=" -W "http://admin.brightcove.com/viewer/us1.24.04.08.2011-01-14072625/federatedVideoUI/BrightcovePlayer.swf -p "http://english.aljazeera.net/watch_now/ -a "aljazeeraflashlive-live?videoId=747084146001&lineUpId=&pubId=665003303001&playerId=751182905001&affiliateId="
The -r argument is the actual rtmp stream url. You'll copy/paste only this URL into your .strm file first.
The -y argument corresponds to the playpath= parameter XBMC wants.
The -W argument corresponds to the swfUrl= parameter XBMC wants.
The -p argument corresponds to the pageURL= parameter XBMC wants.
The -a argument corresponds to the app= parameter XBMC wants.
The -v argument corresponds to the live=true parameter XBMC wants. If it's a live stream, make sure to include live=true, or it won't work.
And, I don't know if/when/what circumstances it's needed, but you might need to also include "swfVfy=true" in your .strm file.
If anyone else has any more streams to contribute, please do so! Or even links to some rtmpdump command lines, piping into mplayer (or VLC).
- HOW-TO Turn that rtmpdump commandline you found into something XBMC recognizes

A New Jersey developer who is one of the nation's top Democratic campaign contributors is scheduled to plead guilty to criminal charges on Wednesday morning in a case in which he is accused of hiring a prostitute to blackmail a witness in a federal investigation in an attempt to silence him, according to lawyers involved in the case.
The developer, Charles Kushner, has agreed to plead to one charge of witness retaliation in addition to campaign finance and tax charges in a deal that will result in a prison sentence of 18 to 24 months, the lawyers said.
Mr. Kushner became the subject of a federal investigation after his brother and former accountant reported what they said were accounting irregularities within his billion-dollar real estate empire and accused him of intentionally evading federal limits on campaign contributions.
On July 13, the United States attorney charged that Mr. Kushner tried to silence a witness in the case, his brother-in-law William Schulder, by hiring a prostitute to seduce him and videotape their sexual encounter. Mr. Kushner then sent a copy of the tape to his sister, Mr. Schulder's wife, Esther.
The plea deal reportedly will not require Mr. Kushner, who gave more than $1 million to James E. McGreevey's campaign for governor, to cooperate with any of the various corruption investigations involving Mr. McGreevey's aides.
Mr. McGreevey announced last week that he would resign on Nov 15, after revealing that he had had an extramarital affair with a man, but the United States attorney, Christopher J. Christie, has said that the governor is not involved in the inquiry involving Mr. Kushner.Continue reading the main story
Mr. Kushner's lawyer, Ben Brafman, declined to discuss the case.
Mr. Kushner, 50, is a well-known figure in New Jersey and in Democratic political circles. He has been a benefactor to a variety of Jewish causes, and has contributed generously to many prominent elected officials besides Governor McGreevey, including Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton, Charles E. Schumer and Jon S. Corzine; former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani and former Senators Bill Bradley and Robert G. Torricelli.
In June, Mr. Kushner agreed to pay a $508,900 fine to the Federal Election Commission to settle a complaint that he had used the names of employees in his 40 different partnerships to illegally funnel more than $500,000 to political candidates between 1997 and 2000.
In the plea agreement that will be entered before Judge Jose L. Linares in Federal District Court on Wednesday, Mr. Kushner will acknowledge that he misled the Federal Election Commission by filing letters claiming that those contributions were made by his employees. The plea deal also calls for Mr. Kushner to admit that he defrauded the Internal Revenue Service by listing charitable contributions as business expenses, and for him to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in back taxes.Continue reading the main story

The Guinea Pigs (original 1971; edition 2011)
by Ludvik Vaculik, Kaca Polackova (Translator)
Work details
The Guinea Pigs by Ludvik Vaculik (1971)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
When I was a kid I had a guinea pig. It lived in an enormous cage in my bedroom. We kept alfalfa as a treat for it in the hall closet, and whenever someone opened the closet door the guinea pig would start squealing in anticipation. It is hard to describe this sound to those unfamiliar with it, but I will say that it often provoked a double-take among the uninitiated. This behavior on the part of the guinea pig was probably its most interesting attribute. Guinea pigs are not particularly known for their intelligence, or even for their entertaining antics.
As Ludvík Vaculík illustrates with excruciating detail in this novel, what guinea pigs do a lot of is sitting still as if waiting. Waiting to see what will happen next. One does not observe much proactivity in the guinea pig. In this novel, guinea pigs are said by some critics to represent the Czech people in the wake of the 1969 Soviet invasion, an act provoked by the Soviet belief that the existing Czech government was straying too far from conservative waters. While Vaculík, a Communist (twice expelled) in favor of increasing liberalization at the time, does sometimes exhibit in his prose a not-very-thinly disguised frustration with his fellow citizens, to treat the book only as a fable about the evils of Soviet Communism does it a disservice.
The storyline follows a bank clerk named Vašek and his family who live a mundane middle-class existence in Prague. The action alternates between Vašek's incongruous dealings with his wife and two sons, and some vaguely sinister goings-on at the State Bank where Vašek works. Bank employees routinely attempt to walk out at the end of the day with a few notes secreted somewhere on their person, occasionally with success but just as often without it. This activity is obscurely linked to an increasing loss of bank notes from general circulation, prompting a shadowy old bank employee to propose the existence of a mysterious parallel circulation. Vašek becomes obsessed with figuring out who is masterminding this operation and why.
When not gumshoeing around in an erratic manner at work, Vašek wanders around his house with a guinea pig in his pocket, doing his computations and berating his sons in an equally erratic manner. Vašek has bought the first of the guinea pigs as a Christmas gift for his younger son Pavel, an event which stirs up the family's previously humdrum life. Suddenly many of their concerns revolve around the guinea pig, which is soon joined by another, and yet another. Of anyone, Vašek becomes the most preoccupied by the presence of guinea pigs in the family home, eventually carrying out a nightly series of arcane experiments on them while the rest of his family sleeps. Vašek is on one hand a delightfully random narrator prone to charming absurdism, while on the other hand he is an unreasonable father and husband and a cold, calculating torturer of guinea pigs. His long-suffering wife Eva, a schoolteacher, is perhaps the most grounded member of the family, though her role rarely rises above that of dispenser of well-placed non sequiturs.
Knowledge of everyday life for the average Czech citizen during Communist control is not required to enjoy this dark and ridiculous novel, though it may enhance one's reading of it. Vašek is a man whose aims and motivations are impossible to pin down, though it's clear he feels a desire to understand what is going on around him. While very little in his life makes sense, he is also an instigator of the nonsensical in his family's life. He is a simultaneous victim and executioner of his own 'normality', a state that is in constant flux. Being that there is some of the erratic in all of us, the contradictions in Vašek's story may seem familiar to anyone, not just those who experienced life under Soviet Communism.
Perhaps the closest Vaculík comes to revealing the true meaning behind his story is when early in the book Vašek shares this thought, following the Ministry of Education's rejection of the article he wrote about his guinea pig:
Writing is always some sort of expression of helplessness or the product of a case of messed-up nerves, disclosing complexes or a bad conscience. The greater the literature, the greater the hysteria, really; think it over.
The Guinea Pigs is a dark political allegory portraying the essence of life under Soviet rule during the Cold War in Czechoslovakia. The author, Ludvik Vaculik, speaks in riddles, metaphors and symbols to obscure the true meaning of his novel. Vaculik includes a bit of humor to reveal the absurdity inherent in such a regime. It is a daring piece that challenges one intellectually and philosophically. A profound literary work from a powerful Czech voice.
The nearest I can figure is that this novel is about the process of decay and loss of will caused by the tight controls placed on human beings under Communist regimes. The protagonist's experimentation seems to represent the playing with humanity by regimes and an uncaring God. The guinea pigs are the example of how paralyzed and unthinking, how devoid of wishes and dreams, people become when socially, economically, culturally, or otherwise confined. A powerful, thought provoking novel, by an author from the Czech Republic who himself was persecuted and ostracized for the expression of his independent thoughts.
Vaculik creates a main character that appears innocent and naive. Common in Czech literature in this time period, there is much more that appears on the surface. Our innocent family man's darker tendencies are revealed throughout the story. The story's lulls are worth getting through to enjoy the overall complexity of the novel.
Translated from Czech, this dark comedy sneaks up on the reader. The narration of begins as if a story is being told to a small child, which was sweetly humorous, but which later started to take on a darker tone as the political symbolism became clearer to the reader. One could make a comparison between the way Vasek studied the family pet guinea pigs and the state's close watch over the citizens of the Czech Republic.
If you like conspiracy theories, behavioral experiments, even if they become vicious, and psychological study, I'd recommend this

Lace Dress
you're to like the cream lace dress
cream lace dress
Whether you're spending time relaxing on a beach, touring a European city or reading outside in your own back yard, you'll want to be feeling fashionable. Check out these tips for creating the most beautiful and trendy summer wardrobe.
- This year invest in a classic Parisian striped top. It will go with everything in your wardrobe, from high waisted shorts to 50s style tapered trousers. Pop it on when you want to look elegant and expensive, and add a straw hat for a Venetian twist.
- Hair styles for summer 2010 are inspired by braids. Whether you do a large messy fishtail side braid in the style of Alexander Wang's New York show or create a vintage braided updo in the style of Rochas girls, keep experimenting with different plaits for different occasions.
- The crew neck is the neckline of the season, and thank goodness, because this means that gorgeous tanned legs can be shown off to their full advantage whilst you remain elegant and classy. Keep your t-shirts long sleeved as well as high necked, and for extra fashion points invest this season in a high-waisted skirt to mix and match with your multicoloured shirts.
- Learn the art of draping and wrapping, if you want to look super chic this summer. Donna Karan's runway was filled with artistic fabric movements and styles, which you can replicate at home by being a bit more experimental and maybe even creating your own chiffon wrapped bodycon dress. Keep the colours neutral for the most subtle effect.
- Blonde hair is the ultimate summery compliment to fresh glowing skin. Take a visit to your hairdresser to get some subtle highlights added that will catch the sun's rays on a hot day by the beach. And keep drinking lots of water so that your skin looks hydrated and fresh.
- Classic shapes mixed with modern prints make for a very pretty but edgy look. Combine lace and sharp tailoring for a similar effect or bright contemporary colours with feminine cuts, and look to Erdem's SS10 show for inspiration.
- Lace is definitely big for this season, as the 'underwear as outerwear' trend continues in high streets as well as on the catwalk. Lace edging on a vest top is a simple way to add it to your wardrobe, or look for a pretty 60s style cream lace dress with a silk slip underneath.
- Neutrals are set to be a big trend for the autumn/winter season, so if you want to start building a wearable wardrobe for the whole year, look to colours like camel, cream, beige, ivory, taupe, peach, nude and antique rose.

The Famous Spiegeltent, Hyde Park, January 22
From the cavernous Sydney Opera House Concert Hall one night to the sweaty intimacy of the Famous Spiegeltent the next, and with appearances in Parramatta and the Art Gallery of NSW lined up for the next few days, New York's yMusic have been making the most of their Australian debut.
It's an eclectic itinerary that says something about their can-do approach to music making. This sextet of musicians, playing predominantly classical instruments with amplification, have made themselves at home wherever they go, whether it be warm-up to a rock group or as incidental music for fine art.
The Spiegeltent is cosy enough to encourage close listening – and there is plenty to hear – without the need for the reverential formality of a concert stage. yMusic opened with their debut album's title track, Beautiful Mechanical by Son Lux. The chunky motor rhythms of the cello part provided all the rhythm and bass you could want, with hyperactive violin skittering over the top.
Proven Badlands by Annie Clark (aka St Vincent) developed from nothing but a simple line, with (superbly played) trumpet solo drifting over the layers of string figures, building to a punchy outburst. The intricate rhythms and sudden changes in mood confirmed what was becoming obvious: that this was a virtuoso band, a tight crew with talent to match their energy.
The two works from Shara Worden (of My Brightest Diamond) were exquisite miniatures, full of well-paced detail, a welcome break from the loud chaos of Andrew Norman's new work written for yMusic, Moving in Circles.
Contemporary classical poster boy Nico Muhly's new work for yMusic, Balance Problems, was a clever melange of chord progressions and instrumental timbres, baroquo-rock style. To finish, yMusic played one of their signature works, Clearing, Dance, Dawn by Judd Greenstein. Like most of their repertoire, it was a funky mix of minimalism meets folk meets found objects from a generation whose iPod playlist defies definition.
Whether this is the future of classical music is the wrong question. The real question is: yMusic? Answer: Why not?

Details & Highlights
Details from AudioQuest
The Definition of S: CinemaQuest "S" video cables include two identical maximum performance coaxial cables, one for the "Y" (black and white) signal and one for the "C" (color information) signal. In single-channel "composite" video, the Y and C signals are combined to run on a single cable. Using S-video avoids the degradation caused by the process of combining and separating the Y and C signals. When available, three-channel Component video (CQ YIQ cables) is better because the Pb and Pr color information is not combined into a single C signal.
The Ingredients: The Ingredients: S-A uses a large 24 awg Silver-Plated center conductor insulated with Hard Cell Foam (HCF). Silver-Plating greatly improves high frequency performance for a fraction of the cost of solid silver. Nitrogen Injected HCF reduces distortion caused by the insulating material, and helps maintain a stable 75W. The combination foil and Silver-Plated braid shield provides 100% protection coverage and lower distortion. Gold-Plated connectors are professionally attached with superior AudioQuest solder.

Selena Gomez Doesn't Want to Be Miley Cyrus
Just because Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus share the same Disney origins—and a common ex-boyfriend in Nick Jonas—doesn't mean that they're heading in the same direction.
During a recent interview with Now magazine, Wizards of Waverly Place star Gomez—who celebrated her 18th birthday last week—took pains to distance herself from the Hannah Montana star, or at least assert that she doesn't plan on following in Cyrus' footsteps:
"I'm flattered if people say I'm the new Miley, but I'm definitely not trying to be her. I'm just trying to be myself."
Would that be a prudent decision, given the recent waves of controversy that have engulfed Cyrus? Share your thoughts in the comments section.

FFL vs. A State Firearms License
Ok... When I was 17 I was charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana. So... I do NOT qualify for a GFL (Georgia Firearms License)! I found out that I DO qualify for a Utah Firearms License which apparently is BETTER than a GFL anyways! ( go figure ) I was talking about it with my bossman ( a fellow gun enthusiast ) and he suggested that I just go ahead and try to get my FFL ( which I believe I qualify for ). Other than being able to purchase firearms over the Internet and being a "dealer" and such what advantages, CC and OC wise, does the Federal Firearms License have over a state.
An FFL allows you to buy, sell and transfer firearms (nothing requiring special licenses sush as SBR, AOW, etc.) from out of state suppliers/ buyers. It is a business license and the requirements make that clear. It does nothing to circumvent concealed carry laws imposed by your home state.
An FFL is a whole different ballpark than a state issued owner's license. Not even the same game really.
OK COOL! Thats exactly what I thought I just wanted to clear that up!
Were you convicted or adjudicated as a minor? if you were adjudicated as being a minor that does not disqualify you from a gfl in georgia. you should check out georgiapacking.org to get all the info you will need on getting a gfl.

Aloe Blacc on How He Got His Name & Being Inspired by Dr. Dre
Photo: Getty Images
By Sierra Marquina
The man behind the hit song "The Man," Aloe Blacc, phoned in to On Air with Ryan Seacrest to share his journey to fame and how he got such a unique stage name.
After Ryan referred to him as Aloe B., the singer laughed, "It's been years since someone called me Aloe B.– thats my hip-hop name! My original name is Egbert Nathaniel Dawkins III."
So how'd he go from that to Aloe Blacc?
"As a hip-hop enthusiast starting really young, I wanted to choose a name that described my rhyme style and I'm a smooth rapper, so I chose Aloe to represent smooth, but it followed me into my singing career, which was sort of accidental," he explains.
What wasn't accidental though was his desire to impress Dr. Dre. Aloe reveals that he wrote "The Man" because of the rapper.
"I had a meeting with Dr.Dre and he had heard 'I Need A Dollar' and was a fan of my voice and was interested in possibly working together. But when we met, he told me that he'd liked to hear me come with some stronger themes. And I thought, 'Oh okay, Well I need to write a song that will make Dre sing while he's rolling down the street' … and I figured this is the right theme."
The triumphant jam also samples Elton John's "Your Song," which Aloe says he wanted to experiment with after realizing Elton's been open to other artists sampling his classics.
"I noticed in the past he's done songs that were used or alluded to, let's say like Mary J. Blige, I think she used 'Bennie and the Jets' in one of her songs, so I knew he wasn't too restrictive with things like this, so I figured I'd try it."

These were some of the voices in the news this week.
Shumlin Heads To Labrador To Discuss Hydro Power
(Shumlin) "Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador have extraordinary resources and we're fortunate to have them to deliver us green, cheap reliable power and we want to make sure that we're looking forward in the 21st century to ensure that we can grow jobs and economic opportunities by trying to get some of that power down to New England. As much of it as we can, as cheaply as we can."
(Leahy) "You're never going to get it until they realize that you've had 2 wars that have gone on now for a total of 20 years with the two of them and they were done on a credit card. Unless we're willing to say we're going to have to pay for those we're going to have to do probably retroactively what we should have done in the first place and have a special tax for those wars."
