Doom9 is a website featuring information on digital audio and video manipulation (mostly video) and digital copyrights. It is also the forum username of the author of the page, an Austrian who was a college student at the time of the creation of the site. The site's tagline is "The Definitive DVD Backup Resource".
Started in March 2000, the site has expanded to contain a wide range of information on the subject of digital video encoding and DVD backup (or ripping). The most popular sections of the site were the guides to DVD ripping and the annual codec comparisons, where popular digital video codecs were compared on the basis of quality, speed, and compression. The forum is frequented by many developers of the tools and codecs featured on the site, such as FairUse4WM. The site has been criticized, as the techniques described by it can be used for copyright infringement, but it maintains that its guides should only be used for fair use. In some cases, users suspected of illegally copying media are refused help on the forums.
The VirtualDubMod project began after many modifications to VirtualDub were posted on the Doom9 forums.
Doom9 gained notoriety as a result of its involvement in the AACS encryption key controversy. The utility BackupHDDVD was first posted by a Doom9 poster using the alias muslix64. The earliest information on how to find title and volume keys was also first revealed on Doom9 forums, by other users. The key that set off the controversy was also first posted by a user using the name arnezami.
Doom9 is also known for being the main discussion forum for many major video encoding tools, such as x264, AviSynth and MeGUI.
Due to the concentration of forum members who have technical backgrounds, there have been various software projects developed and maintained by forum members. These include:
- Media Player Classic Home Cinema, a lightweight media player using the DirectShow API
- ffdshow-tryouts, a collection of free software codecs, most notably libavcodec, provided as DirectShow filters
Doom9 members have also contributed significantly to various software projects, including:
- x264, a free software H.264 video encoder
- VirtualDubMod, a video capture and linear editing tool

For our open thread, we thought we'd take a walk down memory lane [h/t Hot Air's Allahpundit]. Below the page break we've attached a YouTube video of kids reacting to a Sony Walkman® audio cassette player.
It will both put a smile on your face and make you feel incredibly old.
P.S.: We just might have to try this trick on our crop of summer interns next month.

We've been but patient. We've ticked through the summer, faithfully buying tickets for flop after flop, in hopes that Hollywood would deliver—not an Oscar nominee, not a moving psychological drama, not even a complex thriller--just a solid, entertaining summer movie. I must admit I had high hopes for Elysium. The film boasts an Oscar-caliber cast and a trailer that seems to say, This is what you've been waiting for. Sadly, this too, is disappointing.
The year is 2154, Earth is an over-crowded ghetto and home to the 99 percent. The privileged few live on a Utopian space station known as Elysium, where everyone is white and healthy (and possibly French). When Max (Matt Damon), a reformed criminal trying to make an honest living, is exposed to a lethal dose of radiation, he is determined to get to Elysium in hopes of a cure. You see, citizens of Elysium have access to state of the art medical care—apparently in the form of an extremely high-tech tanning bed—that the impoverished on Earth don't. Are you sensing a theme yet? Meanwhile, on Elysium, the autocratic defense secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster) is at odds with her colleagues as to what actions are appropriate to keep illegal immigrants out.
On a positive note, this is an interesting, well-acted film that is just about the perfect length. Matt Damon is compelling as the unlikely hero of a revolution. The film strikes a perfect balance between sci-fi special effects and the human factor. On the flip side, the movie is beyond predictable and a tad preachy. The normally brilliant Foster phones in a robotic, paper-thin performance, adding little complexity to an already rudimentary plot. All in all, the movie's just pretty good. It's a 6.

Understanding the Dialogue around Lovelle Mixon
Last week, Lovelle Mixon allegedly shot 5 cops, killing 4 of them. This fact is tragic. It is not only tragic because 4 public servants who have families were killed, but also because the retaliation in the black community in Oakland by police will be severe. If you know what I know, angry cops are capable of anything.

I suppose you are thinking what many Americans are thinking. How could he do this? He deserves to die. Armed dangerous gunmen deserve to die. Why are black youth so violent? But I want to push your thinking on this situation.
As Kevin Weston points out in a really controversial piece at New American Media,
When police officers are found to have murdered young black men, they are almost always let off the hook, they do not face life in prison and they are not then hunted and killed. This is not to suggest that the murder of cops is justified, but to ask that we look at it within the context of police brutality and the damage it has wreaked on the black community.Read more

You say angry cops are capable of anything; what about angry Mixons?
Apparently your willing to excuse his bad behavior, because he "was trying to get out of going back to jail and this compounded with not finding work led him to desperate actions."
So, his shooting of the cops was the desperate action? His posession of a semi-auto assautlt rifle prior to that wasn't? Nor the illegal carrying of a handgun? The strong dna-linked likelihood that he raped a 12 year old girl, and may be connected with another half dozen rapes wasn't desperate? Nor was his previous conviction for assault with a deadly weapon?
All that gets a pass; his snapping is the cops fault cause it's a racist society and the po-po pushed him too hard?
Thanks for clarifying that. Next time I see someone raping, shooting, or abusing...I won't have to hold it against them; it's societies fault!
The bleeding heart justifications are astonishing to me. If this guy had been busted for those rapes, the same people who are seeking here to make him a hero would have villified him. If he'd of shot 4 members of Uhuru house, he'd be called a CIA plant. But since it was cops he killed, we HAVE to find a way to make it their fault and not his.
No thanks, I'm out.
Wednesday Mar 25th, 2009 6:47 PM
It shouldn't be astonishing to you, some people have rage over events that have happened in their own lives and they will never recover from that. They will take out their rage -- perhaps justifiable rage, as we've seen all too much of -- on incidents such as this, and that is their right.
It has nothing to do with "liberals" or any other affiliation, but with individuals and personal tragedies.
All of them were wrong, black or white, cop or not. If someone shoots cops in the face they are wrong. If someone corners someone who killed one of their own and kills him, they are wrong.
I think really, that's probably the majority sentiment on here, even if people who feel enraged over other things, personal things, are saying otherwise. We all know they were all wrong.
Wednesday Mar 25th, 2009 9:29 PM
YOU THINK DESPERATE COPS ARE CAPABLE OF ANYTHING? THEN REALLY LOOK AT THIS YOUNG MAN'S DESPERATE ACT. THERE WILL BE MORE, AND IT DOESEN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK. iT IS WHAT MATTERS TO YOUNG BLACK MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE AND HAVE BEEN HUNTED DOWN BY RACIST PIGS FOR YEARS.......
Wednesday Mar 25th, 2009 9:52 PM
I detest your picture of Lovelle Mixon, along with your depiction of how he "ALLEGEDLY" shot the pigs- then you go on to say "THIS IS A FACT". Glad to know where you stand on jury nullification. The only fact I see in your depiction of the so called facts is that you petti bourgeos fucking so called feminists always side with the very people who have always oppressed you. When did black people oppress you as an organized entity? When did black youth declare a war on you?. YOU, like me, had to fight so that women could become fire fighting people and fucking cops. Before all of us united to do this, you were down trotten and misunderstood. You need to shut the fuck up and see what black youth are going through trying to survive in this fucking war that we were never a part of, but that was declared on us as it has always been practiced on YOU. You do have a right to speak, But it is often those who cannot see the white eyes of their own oppressors who calibrate and put other people in the crosshairs of their oppressors.
It is not unlike the fucking white woman I tried to help once when she tripped. she pushed my hand away and said- "let go
or i'm going to call the police". This is what you've done with your article- CALLED THE POLICE..........
Wednesday Mar 25th, 2009 10:13 PM
HEAR ME GOOD- FUCK KEVIN WESTON. BACK ON BLACK CRIME HAPPENED BECAUSE YOUTH WERE NOT ONLY FRUSTRATED, BUT BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT SURE OF WHOM THEIR TRUE ENEMIES WERE- NOW THEY KNOW! -AND IT ONLY TOOK A DESPERATE ACT AND AN ACCURATE TRIGGER FINGER. iT ISN'T ONLY PERFECT TO DIE FOR THE PEOPLE IF YOU HAVE POLITICAL CONSCIOUSNESS, BUT IT IS COURAGEOUS TO DIE ON YOUR FEET BEFORE DYING ON YOUR KNEES. tHIS IS WHY YOUNG BLACK MEN ARE MOVED BY LOVELLE'S ACT. REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU AND kEVIN wESTON THINK AND SAY.
Thursday Mar 26th, 2009 8:59 AM
Why aren't you angry about black people killing (and raping) other black people? Is that ok? Are you saying black men are incapable mentally of restraining themselves from killing (and raping) other black people? The "killaz" (and rapists) should be held accountable for their actions, regardless of race!


text: My project this weekend was to fit my cruise control bits and fit the LED bulbs and resistors to my front fog lights. There is already a good guide for the cruise control (thanks to Sijones and Avus Sportback) so I thought I'd do one for the LED Resistors. I bought some 68 LED H7 bulbs from ebay for about £3 and after waiting for the slow boat from Hong Kong, they eventually arrived. I was fairly certain that they'd throw up a bulb out warning on the DIS, so I fitted them and then turned off the cold diagnosis on the front fogs using VCDS. For reasons I still don't understand, the bulbs worked fine, but still showed a bulb out warning. After a bit of searching on this, I came across a thread that Silky had done on the same subject. I also discovered that he bought his from T8UPS, so I thought he was the guy to contact. After a few messages, Trups sorted me out a couple of resistors and I was in business again. These are the resistors I bought from him: I removed the front fog grilles by levering the grille down from the top with one screwdriver and levering up from the bottom with another. There are little slots, so it'll be obvious when you look. Please keep in mind that mine is just a Sport bumper, so it will be different on the S-line and S3 bumpers. With the grilles out, I undid the 3 torx screws holding in the fog lamp and pulled it forward. I unplugged the plug in the back of the unit by putting a small flat screwdriver in the gap in the side of the plug and gently lifting up the tab. The plug easily slid out. With the lamp removed I unclipped the cover at the back of the plug on the harness to allow me to remove the plastic sheath around the two fog light wires. After I'd got to the wires I stripped a small section of the insulation off of both of them. (sorry for the blurry photo, it looked fine on the screen of my camera ) I then soldered the resistors wires to the exposed sections of wire and used heat-shrink tape. I hadn't used this stuff before, but it was amazing. Normally you need to be able to slide a tube of heat-shrink over the wire, but this isn't possible if you haven't cut the the wire and are only joining to it. The heat-shrink tape allowed me to waterproof the joint without having to actually cut any wires all the way through. After both wires were done, I replaced the plastic sheath and the cover at the back of the plug and tidied the wires with some insulating tape. You can see the cover at the back of the plug has been put back and also the sheath. I then had to find a mounting point that was away from anything plastic or flammable due to the resistors getting very hot. On both sides there is a horn, so I used the bolt at the back of each one. It was a T27 torx bolt and it was a bit fiddly to get to, but it was an ideal spot. The passenger side one had masses of space, but the drivers side one was a bit tighter. The only thing it gets near though is the washer bottle, but after a little bend of the bracket it had plenty of clearance. In the photos below you can see the back of the arrowhead shaped brackets that the resistors are mounted to. You can probably just see the gold resistors behind them. Drivers side: Passenger side: This is what it looks like with one done. They aren't at full brightness here. I've got my fogs set as DRL's and the setting that controls the dimming of them is turned down from 92 to 40. This means that they come on at 40% brightness as DRL's, but go off when you turn on your sidelights or headlights. If you then turn on the front fogs they operate at full brightness. Here are the finished articles (again running as DRL's) Brightness wise, they aren't as bright as the old H7 bulbs, but they are perfect as DRL's and look still pretty bright when running at full brightness. I can't imagine they'd be much use as a driving light and awful as a fog light, but that's not what I got them for. I never found my standard front fog lights to be much use in fog anyway to be honest. They even look OK with my headlights, which are halogens, but with Osram Nightbreaker Plus bulbs. If you've got xenons then they'd look even better. Check out Silky's thread for photo's of his. If you fancy doing this yourself then get in touch with Trups (T8UPS) and he'll sell you everything you need. He's extremely helpful and a real pleasure to deal with.

The Definitive Skip Hire Guide
Cleaning out the garden or constructing a new conservatory? Have to rent a skip but don't know where to search, or which institution to go for? Read on for hints and skip hire Harrow advice to ensure that you simply get the right skip in the correct cost.
What Sort Of Waste Are You Removing?
You cant just throw any thing into a Skip, whilst most things and waste varieties are great, there are specific hazardous materials that must definitely be disposed of correctly to comply with UK law. Electrical things, chemicals, machinery, asbestos, and other such substances aren't allowed in a "normal" Skip. Specific arrangements must be made for these products. Check that the skip hire company can eliminate them or if not can assistance you on the most appropriate course of thing to do.
How Long Do You Desire The Skip For?
As stated above some Skip companies have the very least period of rental, which if you're just doing a bit of garden landscaping may be a little to much to have the skip sat on your drive to get a week, when you realize that you're likely to fill it and be concluded in 1-2 times. Talk with the Skip hire business to see whether they offer price reduction for quick term employ.
Where The Skip Be Sited?
You must know before booking where you are going to put the Skip. This obviously depends on the size of skip you are reserving and how long you mean keeping it for. Occasionally you will be unable to place a skip in your drive. If this is actually the case then a council permit must be ordered to allow the skip to be put on your way. All the time the Skip hire company will sort this for you personally. Be sure the Skip is accurately equipped with lights and reflectors to ensure it is observable at nighttime.
Are You Experiencing Hazardous Waste?
Then verify that your picked Skip hire company can remove them accurately and whenever they can what extra costs may take place, as a result of specialist storage and managing these substances need, if you are planning to eliminate hazardous waste like asbestos or high volumes of substances.
99% of Skip companies have the ability to help you then if you're simply removing modest quantities waste. However if your project is on a bigger scale demanding plenty of combined waste types then you will need to verify some things using the Skip business. Firstly can they provide a single Skip big enough? Neglecting that do they have several smaller Skips available? Secondly how good is access to the property? If your web site has limited accessibility subsequently using a substantial Skip might be an issue. It may be more desirable to locate a business that offer grab lorry hire. In this way the waste may be loaded directly into the lorry and eliminated quite fast with nominal disruption to traffic or access to other qualities.
Not All Skip Hire Businesses Are Created Equivalent:
The purchase price of a Skip can vary wildly and so to can the stipulations of your hire. Some will have minimum hire times although some will even wait while you remove your garbage immediately and fill it. For those who have material which can be recycled then finding a skip hire business which is capable of ensuring your waste is reused accurately is a great notion. If you are uncertain what may be recycled give the Skip hire company a call and they'll be able to assist you.
Maintain Your Skip Protected:
This might seem a little odd, I suggest who snitches rubbish? Its not the larceny we are concerned about (even though if you set plenty of lead or copper wiring in the Skip you could find it vanishes over nighttime due to its high scrap worth) It is folks adding to your Skip. What lots of people do not comprehend is that you the customer are entirely accountable for the contents of your Skip. So for those who have stuffed it total of ground just to discover that in the morning an old deep freezer and a large stack of half-full paint cans are in your Skip, you are stuck with it.
Shop Around:
As stated over the price of employing a Skip can vary wildly based on your location and requirements. Get a quote from several companies and see the things they are offering for the cost. It could pay to appear on-line, many jump hire businesses finally own a web site letting you get an estimate as well as novel on line. With the level of rivalry in the Internet you might find that you can get better bargains.

On our most recent trip to Central Newfoundland, we decided to bring our golf clubs to check out the golf courses in Grand Falls and Gander. Over the past few years we have begun to make more trips to Central Newfoundland since we have realized it has much more to offer than you might think. Our first stop was the Grand Falls golf course which is conveniently located right on the Trans Canada Highway just outside of town.

Newfoundland and Labrador has an enduring Irish culture, which is why we go all out celebrating St. Patrick's day, but some of our Irish history is really quite mysterious, stretching back thousands of years...

There's one place I've always wanted to visit on St. Patrick's Day. Not because I expect to find a jolly little leprechaun with a bountiful pot of gold, but because it's the closest you can get to Ireland right here in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Cold. Exhilarating. Totally absurd. Perhaps that's the best way to describe the polar dip I took in Appleton as part of the town's annual Winterfest.

It's a balmy -7 degrees here in Grand Falls-Windsor at the moment. And the thought of the bitter cold seeping through my veins is not something I'm embracing today.

We recently were invited to Airport Nordic Ski Club located just outside of Gander, Newfoundland to do some ski clinics with some of their ski instructors and jackrabbit leaders. While we were there we also had a chance to view their scenic trail system with several of their members showing us the way.

To find such a fine restaurant tucked into a tiny, relatively remote village, is very unusual. It's why most of us who love food actually travel.

It was a day ripped straight from a Star Wars movie. There we were, heading into the wild unknown aboard our airship, all seemingly unaware of what may lay ahead.

An exclusive excerpt of the Prologue and Chapters 1 & 2 from Christina Brooke's The Wickedest Lord Alive (July 1, 2014) is available on Heroes and Heartbreakers to members. Please log in or register to read the full excerpt...
Eight years ago, a tall handsome stranger entered Lizzie Allbrightâ??s bedchamber and consummated a marriage of the utmost necessity. The Marquis of Steyne agreed to wed and bed Lord Buteâ??s admittedly lovely daughter to pay off his motherâ??s gambling debts. But once the deed was done, Steyneâ??s lawfully-wedded wife vanished into the London nightâ?¦
Years later, Steyne has nearly forgotten about his runaway bride. But when he suddenly finds himself in need of an heir, he has no choice but to track her down. Living happily in a small village under an assumed name, Lizzie is surprised to see her husbandâ??and to feel such a strong attraction to him. But she is downright shocked when he asks her to bear him a son. How can they possibly repeat the heated encounter of their ill-fated wedding night without falling hopelessly in love?
The young man who strode into her bedchamber that night was as darkly beautiful as sin itself, tall and elegantly proportioned, with an arrogant cast of countenance inherited from his patrician forebears. His hair held the obsidian luster of a pantherâ??s coat, worn a trifle longer than was the current fashion. His eyes, set beneath sleek, flyaway brows, were so deep and brilliant a blue as to appear unnatural in the chancy light.
Barely suppressed fury tautened his large frame. A flicker of panic passed through her. This situation was not of her making. He must know that. Would he punish her for it anyway?
From what sheâ??d heard and seen of this young nobleman, she suspected that if she showed fear, he would despise her. She didnâ??t want to begin that way.

QANTAS will take advantage of its alliance partner's woes by filling seats during the peak Christmas period with passengers left stranded by a 12-day British Airways strike.
Although the strike throws into chaos the holiday plans of BA passengers during the busiest time of the year for travelling, industry insiders say it will be a boost for Qantas because it will enable the Australian airline to fill its aircraft during the highest-yielding period.
The challenge for Qantas, however, will be to find sufficient room on its aircraft.
''I can't see it being a negative because they are pretty full anyway, so anything made to help BA is going to be icing on the cake,'' an insider said.
Qantas dismissed speculation yesterday that it would pull long-haul aircraft off either the Pacific route between Australia and the United States, or from services to South Africa, in response to the greater demand on the kangaroo route to Europe.
Shares in Qantas rose 2c to $2.69 yesterday in its third straight day of gains, spurred on by Merrill Lynch analysts raising their recommendation on the stock from "neutral" to a ''buy'' due to improving passenger yields.
''If Qantas has the capacity to carry all of the people on BA who cancel we will be more than happy,'' the divisional secretary of the Flight Attendants Association of Australia, Michael Mijatov, said yesterday. ''It provides extra revenue to the company.''
Yesterday Qantas sought to allay fears the strike from December 22 to January 2 will pose problems for Qantas passengers who are due to board BA connecting flights in London bound for other destinations in Europe.
The airline said it would provide ''alternative options, where possible, for other customers, such as those booked on BA services into Europe out of London''.
Qantas has a joint services agreement with BA on the kangaroo route, under which the two airlines agree on the number of flights to put on and make decisions on departure times and types of aircraft to use. But Qantas said the strike would not affect these operations.
The airline has faced mounting competition in recent years on the kangaroo route from Middle Eastern airlines such as Emirates, Etihad and Qatar Airways. The route represents about 30 per cent of Qantas's international passenger revenue.
Macquarie Equities analysts said yesterday that Qantas was susceptible to losing some market share if the Middle Eastern airlines' offering was perceived to be as good.
The Australian airline has been matching its rivals' fares at the back end of planes but ticket prices at the front were almost twice as expensive, they said.

Blackhawks beat Bruins, seize 3-2 series lead
CHICAGO — Patrick Kane and the Blackhawks have that look again, and another Stanley Cup is within reach.
Kane scored two goals, Corey Crawford made 24 saves, and the Blackhawks beat the Boston Bruins, 3-1, on Saturday night to take a 3-2 lead in the finals.
Kane had a terrific postseason when Chicago won it all in 2010, including the winning score in a 4-3 overtime victory in Philadelphia that secured the title. Now he's picking up steam as the Blackhawks move closer to another championship, collecting seven goals in the last seven games.
Dave Bolland added an empty-net score, and Jonathan Toews had two assists before leaving with an injury. The captain took a big hit in the second period and did not play in the third.
The Bruins also lost one of their key players when Patrice Bergeron was injured in the second. It was unclear what happened to the star center, but the team said he was taken to a hospital for observation.
Game 6 is Monday night in Boston.
Zdeno Chara scored in the third period for Boston, which lost consecutive games for the first time since the first round against Toronto. Tuukka Rask made 29 saves, keeping the Bruins close while they scrambled to generate quality chances.
Chara got a nice pass from David Krejci from behind the net and beat Crawford on the glove side to make it 2-1 at 3:40 in the third period. The whistling slap shot by the big defenseman came after he was on the ice for five of Chicago's goals in the Blackhawks' 6-5 overtime victory Wednesday night.
The location of Chara's third postseason goal brought to mind the glove-side difficulties for Crawford in Game 4. But he held up fine coming off the worst postseason game of his career.
He gloved Daniel Paille's slap shot early in the third, and the Blackhawks helped their embattled goaltender by turning up the pressure on Rask after the Bruins cut it to one. Kane forced Rask to make a couple of nice stops, and Michael Frolik also made a run to the net.
The Blackhawks survived one last push by the Bruins after they pulled Rask, and the crowd of 22,274 roared when the overhead videoboard showed the No. 1 and the Stanley Cup on the screen, signifying the team is one victory away from its fifth title.
Boston and Chicago returned to the ice three days after they played the highest-scoring game in this year's NHL playoffs. There were five goals in the second period alone, matching the total from the previous two games combined.

Every fall, dancers embark on a journey that they've been on time and time again: the story of the Nutcracker. The Nutcracker, an epic ballet in two parts, is an elaborate production filled with intricate detail — both in costume and emotions — so it's no wonder that it is one of the most performed ballets in the world. But why does it never get old?
According to Ballet Arizona choreographer of 12 years, Ib Andersen, it's not so much about the dancing as it is about the music, composer Tchaikovsky's score.
"It has an amazing score — just absolutely gorgeous music," Andersen says. "Without that, it would be very hard to do the show every year. It keeps it plausible."
Dancer Joseph Cavanaugh, one of few veterans of the company who has been with Ballet Arizona since 2000, agrees.
"When people think of the holidays, they think of the music of the Nutcracker," Cavanaugh says. "To hear it live is really beautiful, and the ballet itself is magical because it carries you through so many different emotions. It starts with a party, and then Clara has a dream that takes you to a scary place of rats and small soldiers; adults really enjoy the child's imagination that comes to life. Not to mention that the snow on stage takes you to a different world."
What's it like dancing with the snow? According to Cavanaugh, Dancers are constantly slipping and falling throughout rehearsals, and sometimes they'll even find snow in their clothing up to a year later.
The production itself is also new. While the dancing is the same, "new life was given to it with newer costumes and aesthetics," Cavanaugh says. "We also have better dancers now than 10 years ago."
In the world of ballet, your career ends in your 30's, and if you're lucky, when you're 40. Your career usually starts, however, around seven years of age. Andersen, a Denmark native, started attending a theater school at that age.
In fact, Andersen was one of two dancers left in the dance program when he graduated at the age of 16, due to the annual end-of-year auditions and exam. The class originally began with 60 people.
"There's nothing remotely equivalent to that in America," Andersen says. State-sponsored theater schools with more than 1,000 employees are very popular in Europe and remain so today.
For Cavanaugh, his transition into the dance world was a little different. He knew he wanted to dance when he saw MC Hammer perform, so he took a hip-hop and jazz class.
"I thought ballet was a ballerina dancing in a jewelry box," he adds. "But the connection my mind and body made was so fascinating to me." He was 16 when he began, and the rest is history.
While Cavanaugh is unusual in the fact that he started late, for the dancing world at least (Andersen says most dancers go professional at 18), Cavanaugh explains that the moves he learns are much like learning to ride a bike — you can stay away from the dance for a few years but once you start dancing again, you will remember how to move the body.
"You know that saying about 10 years or 10,000 hours?" Cavanaugh says. "It's true. It takes that long to finally feel like you understand a little of what you're doing, and I do believe it takes that to become better."
Although Arizona may not be a dance mecca, Cavanaugh stayed with Ballet Arizona to work with Andersen.
"He truly is an artistic director that is interested in all aspects of the company," Cavanaugh says. "Details matter to him and that matters to me. He taught me that more communication happens in the details, the way you arch your feet can make all the difference."
Andersen himself explains that he is a teacher of sorts for his dancers. While he himself has not taken stage in 22 years, he gives his talent to the dancers he directs. "I tell them what to do, what not to do," he says.
Andersen's love for the ballet does not go unnoticed. "Even if it is the same ballet, the ballet is like music; you can hear or see it more than once," Andersen says. "The more you see it, the more you appreciate it. Or the more you hate it," he laughs.
The Nutcracker runs from December 9th to December 24th. Tickets start at $17. For more information on the ballet and ticketing, visit Ballet Arizona's website.

Feminism | Posted by Erik C on 03/11/2014
Warning: This piece contains material about sexual assault that may be upsetting to some readers.
Sexual assault wasn't a problem on my radar until it happened to me. But two and a half years ago, I was assaulted over the course of two nights, in a foreign country, while involuntarily intoxicated. This led to chronic clinical insomnia, job loss, a suicide attempt, 16 months of severe clinical depression, and a year off from school with short stints of homelessness and alcoholism.
So, since then, I haven't really had a choice but to think a tremendous amount about sexual assault and its consequences. I can't, by any means, know what sexual assault is like from a woman's perspective, but I've talked to dozens, if not hundreds, of female survivors/victims (different people …

Collaborative approach to planning sporting facilities
Collaborative approach made to planning regional sporting facilities
Saturday 21 June 2014
Sport Waikato is providing regional leadership on planning and funding for sports in the Waikato, by planning for a collective approach when deciding what sporting and recreational facilities to build in the future.
In a consultation report released today (Wednesday June 18), Sport Waikato is recommending a more collaborative and co-operative approach to investing in regional sporting infrastructure. Chief Executive Matthew Cooper said "for the first time key information about the region's sporting facilities was in one place."
"This evidence-based report allows us to understand what facilities we currently have across the region and more importantly, what we will and won't need in the future," he said.
With over 70,000 registered sports enthusiasts across 60 sporting codes regularly engaged with sporting activity, and its close proximity to Auckland, the Waikato region is well positioned to be the sporting capital of New Zealand. It makes sense to optimise the funding and the use of facilities so that everyone benefits.
Sport Waikato and the Waikato mayoral forum have gathered evidence of sporting facilities in the region and their usage, to support provision of sport facilities to our current and future rising stars.
The Waikato has positioned itself as a centre for high performance sport, with many of our country's medal winning athletes choosing to live and train in the region.
Population drift and current and future trends in sport mean that we need to adapt our approach to providing facilities. The future is all about working together in a collaborative way to provide local, sub-regional, regional and national facilities.
Sport Waikato is keen to ensure that future decision making is made collectively between councils, charitable organisations and central government to ensure the regional sporting network is the best it can be for the Waikato communities.
The report identifies three high-priority projects for the region, which Sport Waikato would like to see completed within the next 1-3 years. They include:
· securing partners to build two 4-5 indoor court facilities in Hamilton, at least one in the north-east of the city,
· developing a partnership to build additional aquatic and court facilities in Hamilton,
· building an indoor 25 metre community pool in Cambridge, once the existing pool has reached the end of its useful life.
The report notes that these facilities are all "funding dependent," and identifies opportunities to rationalise and optimise existing facilities.
The Waikato Mayoral Forum, which funded the report alongside Sport NZ, said the report will be extremely useful in informing the spatial plan now being developed for the region.
The report is now out for consultation with organisations that have a vested interest in this area, with a view to developing robust policies and a clear plan for the next 10 years.
Mr Cooper paid tribute to the outstanding support his team has received from Sport NZ in producing the report. Copies are available on the Sport Waikato website www.sportwaikato.org.nz

(Eds: APNewsNow. Will be updated. With AP Photos.)
NEW YORK (AP) -- The Occupy Wall Street protests have become a phenomenon in just a month. But can the movement keep up its momentum without someone stepping up to take charge?
From its earliest days, the people at the heart of the New York encampment have worked to make it a movement without leaders.
They don't have a ruling council or lead negotiators. Big decisions are being made by assemblies of hundreds of people.
The lack of clear leaders in Manhattan and other protest camps has baffled some.
In Minneapolis, Sheriff Rich Stanek says the group of organizers he meets with every morning changes daily.
But some experts on dissent say that while being "leaderless" has drawbacks, it is one of the things that has allowed the movement to grow so quickly.

Stayed at location for one week while in town on vacation. Hotel was actually fairly decent, although we were eventually told by the sheriffs department that it wasn't the best place to stay.
Went to the beach after being in the hotel for a few days, and left a decent amount of money in purse, which was not exactly out in the open. No one else except hotel, i.e. room service, hotel personnel had access to room while we were gone. Didn't think anything about it due to no problems to this point.
Returned to find the money in the purse was gone, but everything else was still in place, and suspected due to cash not being able to be traced. Brought this to the attention of the front desk, and they acted like it was our problem, and if we wanted to call the police, it was on us.
After voicing our complaint with them, they got back to us, stating that the maids said that they had taken nothing, which was puzzling because they thought that someone would actually step up and confess to it. We did not actually expect a refund of the money because it would set a bad precedent for anyone that claimed they had money missing, but the lackodaisical attitude from the front desk/management was very discouraging.
Filed police report anyway, but don't expect anymore help from hotel.

Parents sue Wilson County Schools
Group claims Lakeview trying to ban God
By CONNIE ESHThe Wilson Post
A group of parents are suing Wilson County Schools claiming the schools are trying to take God out of the school.
The parents of one child sued the school system in 2006 for promoting religion when a group called Praying Parents was allowed to meet at the school.
In that case, U.S. District Judge Robert L. Echols ruled in 2007 the school, Lakeview Elementary, had given preferred treatment to the group, and ordered the board to pay $171,000, for the family's legal fees.
Now some of the Praying Parents are suing the system for banning religious references on posters for a student-led event, according to County Attorney Mike Jennings.
The four Lakeview Elementary families are being represented by the Alliance Defense Fund in a claim that the school board censored their children's posters.
Jennings said in an interview Thursday that school system was blindsided on the issue.
"We were surprised. No one had called the board, there had been no complaints," Jennings said.
He also pointed out that the information was released to Nashville media before the school system was informed of the lawsuit.
The latest dispute involves poster for a "See You At the Pole" event in September 2008 at Lakeview Elementary.
The poster included a statement that the event, which involves gathering at the school flag pole to pray, was student-led and not endorsed by the school.
The lawsuit says that before the posters were approved by the school for posting, all religious language had to be covered.

Qizzle is a word game, a mix between a quiz and a word search puzzle, the perfect entertainment and educational app for improving your vocabulary knowledge.
The objective in Qizzle is to clear the board by combining the given letters and creating the needed words. Of course, as you could imagine, the longer the words are, the higher your score will be.
First of all, you want to choose your favorite mode (Zen or Speed) and choose the grid size as well, depending on the difficulty you want. After that, select the topic and start the game by creating the words.
AppyHand is the developer of this Qizzle app and all of its versions with many topics to choose from. The game could use a little bit of enhancement regarding usability and design, though.

Pride of America 01/12/08: Pride of America Cruise Review by kg4pit
Overall Member Rating
Pride of America 01/12/08
Destination: Hawaii
Embarkation: Honolulu
ARRIVAL: We went 2 days pre-cruise. We had the NCL transfer from the airport to the hotel. One thing that was funny was there was a lady on our plane that fussed about not getting a lei. I told her that unless she arranged for it, she wouldn't get one. She fussed all the way to the hotel (DH and my hotel was the first stop, thank goodness!!) Thursday, it was late, we went to get something to eat and went to bed. Friday, we arranged an excursion to Pearl Harbor/city tour with Roberts Hawaii. That was great!!
Embarkation: Very easy. Shuttle picked us up at our hotel. No offense to anyone, but at first we thought we were on a "senior citizens" cruise! We were the youngest couple on the More bus and we are 43 and 44!! One nice little lady even said, "honey, are you sure you are on the right bus?" Everything went smoothly. We went to the Aloha cafe for lunch and by the time we were through eating, our cabin was ready. We had a balcony and it was great!!
Ship: We didn't do alot of stuff on the ship, we didn't go to any of the shows and we ate mostly at the buffet or the Cadillac Diner. We did eat at Little Italy the night we celebrated our anniversary. It was ok.
Itinerary: This is why we picked this cruise!! All of our excursions were through NCL. People say that Roberts Hawaii is cheaper and it is, but I like the peace of mind with NCL excursions. We had an excursion on every island. (2 on the day of the luau) All the excursions were great. I think my favorite was the Road to Hana. Our tour guide for that was very good.
For the most part, the crew was very nice. We talked to one young lady in the Aloha cafe for awhile. Our room steward was very good. the only thing that sort of bothered us was the way the crew would be walking down the hall and not say a word to you. Now, I didn't expect them to fall and kiss my feet or anything, but the curteous thing to do would be to say "good morning" or "hello".
Disembarkation: It went very smoothly. We did the EasyFly!! that was the best thing! We did the North Shore excursion and was dropped off at the airport at 2:00, our flight home was at 7:00
We got what we wanted to out of this cruise....we got to go to Hawaii...We met nice people. We would definitely go on this cruise again! Less

I use Tresemme Naturals moisturising now and really like it, but my hair is vastly different to yours (fine and thin, more's the pity). The balm from Sally's that Cubanwavy mentioned is (I believe) a knock off of a Matrix Biolage one that you can get in Hairhouse Warehouse and probably other places - I used it but it was too much for my hair on a regular basis and is pretty expensive. DeLorenzo do some cg friendly conditioners, I think the one I used to use was Allevi8 which was good but seemed to stop working for me after a while and I've heard other curlies liking Sukin's conditioner but I didn't like it much. Leave-ins are hopeless here (for me anyway) and I buy CJ's Beauticurls from Curlmart and try not to think about the postage!
I have psoriasis on my scalp which is why I tried Moogoo, so I get you on the irritation thing. I'm lucky in one respect that products don't seem to make it worse, sadly don't make it better either.

Penn State New Kensington hires former Burrell state champ to lead wrestling program
If Joe Makara has his way, Penn State New Kensington will become the college destination for Alle-Kiski wrestlers who want to grapple close to home.
"That's the goal," said Makara, a two-time state champion at Burrell and the new wrestling coach at PSNK. "We'll be looking to bring guys in who are 30 to 45 minutes away and still want to continue wrestling. We want them to be thinking about coming here first."
Makara, 29, has been an assistant at Burrell since 2004. Initially, the plan was for him to be a PSNK assistant under Derek Caldwell, but Caldwell left to become an assistant at Bucknell.
Makara was the next logical choice.
"We tried to get him to be the coach four years ago and failed," PSNK athletic director Dave Murray said. "We finally convinced him to be an assistant in May."
The wrestling program at PSNK was dormant for 35 years until it was revived in 2010. But the team has struggled and has lacked the numbers to fill out lineups.
Makara, who wrestled at Pitt-Johnstown, thinks he can change that and return the team to the respectability it forged in the 1970s. He'll have plenty of support.
"We're in the mecca of (high school) wrestling in the Lower Burrell, Kiski and New Kensington areas," Murray said. "We feel like we have the perfect guy to bring some of those guys to our program. He's well-connected in the wrestling community."

SYDNEY — A Cape Breton man has been fined after pleading guilty to a charge of failing to register as a sex offender.
Shane Michael MacLean, 37, of Northside East Bay, was ordered in March 2010 to register as a sex offender for 20 years after he was convicted of committing a sexual assault.
However, MacLean never registered and was subsequently charged.
He pleaded guilty to the charge and was fined $112.41 and given a one-day jail sentence served by his presence in court. He was also ordered to complete the registration.
MacLean's defence lawyer explained that his client suffers with medical issues which can sometimes result in forgetfulness.

Press Room
Smithsonian American Art Museum Acquires Significant Modern and Contemporary Works
Media only: Laura Baptiste (202) 275-1595
The Smithsonian American Art Museum continues a major acquisitions campaign focused on modern and contemporary artists. In the past year, the museum has purchased Oscar Bluemner's "Evening Tones" (1911–1917), Liz Larner's "Bird in Space" (1989) and H. C. Westermann's "Westermann's Table" (1966). David Hockney's "Snails Space with Vari-Lites, 'Painting as Performance' " (1995–1996) and Nam June Paik's "Electronic Superhighway: Continental U.S., Alaska, Hawaii" (1995) entered the collection as gifts.
"As we plan for reopening the museum July 4, 2006, one of the top priorities continues to be strengthening the modern and contemporary collections," said Elizabeth Broun, the museum's Margaret and Terry Stent Director. "We are thrilled to add these exceptional works by world-renowned artists to the collection, thanks to the generosity of museum supporters."
"Snails Space with Vari-Lites, 'Painting as Performance' " is the culmination of David Hockney's lifelong interest in the interaction of space, time, light and color. It builds on Hockney's experience as a theatrical set designer and is rooted in his conviction that space is relative, subjective and dynamic. This piece, a 22-foot wall painting with interlocking shapes that lie on the floor, is intended to be installed in a darkened gallery and illuminated by colored lights that change in a programmed sequence. As the lights change, the shapes appear to project and recede and the mood of the piece changes. "Snails Space with Vari-Lites," which was exhibited at the museum in 1997 to popular acclaim, is a gift of Nan Tucker McEvoy of San Francisco.
Nam June Paik's "Electronic Superhighway: Continental U.S., Alaska, Hawaii" features 343 television monitors showing state-related videos and classic films like "Oklahoma," "Showboat" and "The Wizard of Oz." Overlaid with a neon map outlining the 50 United States, this video wall celebrates the geographic and cultural richness of America and will be a signature piece when the museum reopens. This work complements two other video installations by Paik in the museum's collection, "Technology" (1991) and "Megatron/Matrix" (1995).
H. C. Westermann's place in modern American sculpture owes much to his tour-de-force craftsmanship and his ability to invent psychologically powerful images. His delight in puns is a hallmark of "Westermann's Table," in which a stack of antique books bolted to a table teases the viewer to read volumes that cannot be opened. "Westermann's Table" was featured in the recent nationally touring retrospective organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. This piece is a museum purchase through the Luisita L. and Franz H. Denghausen Endowment.
In Liz Larner's "Bird in Space," two intersecting arcs of nylon cord soar across 40 feet. One arc recalls Constantin Brancusi's classically modern sculpture of the same title from 1928. Larner's "Bird in Space" epitomizes her interest in sculptural work that uses the formal roots of modernism to question traditional notions of space, mass and volume. Larner, who is based in Los Angeles, was the 2002 recipient of the museum's Lucelia Artist Award, established to recognize annually an American artist who has produced a significant body of artwork that demonstrates exceptional creativity. "Bird in Space" is a gift of Susan and Leonard Nimoy and museum purchase in part through the Gene Davis Memorial Fund.
Oscar Bluemner's brilliance as a colorist and his mastery of modernist vocabulary coalesce in his painting "Evening Tones," a rare early masterpiece from 1911–1917 that joins Matisse's intense palette with Picasso's geometric forms. Bluemner's background as an architect is revealed in the carefully constructed space that is filled with brilliant blues, yellows, green, and reds. This painting is a gift of James F. Dicke II and museum purchase made possible by the American Art Forum, the Julia D. Strong Endowment and the Luisita L. and Franz H. Denghausen Endowment.
These acquisitions are the latest effort by the museum to strengthen its modern and contemporary collections and to support contemporary art and artists through acquisitions and awards. These works join other recent acquisitions including "Monekana" (2001) by Deborah Butterfield, "Honor Pythagoras, Per I–Per VI" (1964) by Alfred Jensen, "Sollie 17" (1979–1980) by Edward and Nancy Reddin Kienholz, "Bower" (1980) by Martin Puryear, a master set of prints (1982–2001) from Sean Scully and two box constructions and 40 collages (1932–1970) by Joseph Cornell.
The Smithsonian American Art Museum collection began with gifts of art donated to the federal government in 1829 and has evolved into the world's most important American art holdings with approximately 40,000 artworks in all media spanning more than three centuries.
While the renovation of the museum's historic building continues, American Art offers a full program of exhibitions at its Renwick Gallery (Pennsylvania Avenue at 17th Street N.W.). For information about Renwick Gallery activities, call (202) 357-2700 or visit the museum's award-winning Web site at AmericanArt.si.edu.
Note to Editors: For images, call (202) 275-1594.

Walmart Employee Fired for Telling Customer Not to Keep Dog in Hot Car
A Walmart employee's concern for animal rights has gotten her fired.
A Walmart employee's concern for animal rights has gotten her fired.
Wal-Mart has just about everything: I think it might be the only place you can get groceries while getting your oil changed, and then get a haircut as well as your taxes - all under one roof. Let's say you are in the market for an engagement ring and just can't afford a high-end jewelery store - Wal-Mart might be a great alternative, but that doesn't necessarily apply to everything.
We have four Wal-Mart stores in the immediate area. We have two in Evansville, one in Newburgh and one in Henderson. If you have ever had the misfortune to be in any local Wal-Mart on a Saturday, you know how crowded it is. The reason for the crowd is simply because Wal-Mart is cheaper than anyone else....until now.
The next time you hit Wal-Mart in Evansville, Newburgh or Henderson you might notice something missing...someone at the door saying hello and offering up a cart or smiley face stickers for the kids...
Unless you have been living under a rock, you have heard all of the hubub about stores opening on Thanksgiving night to get a jump on the 'Black Friday' surge. Target, Best Buy, Macy's and Kohl's all plan to open at midnight on Thanksgiving to get their piece of the retail pie. The stores will make money and the customers will no doubt get great deals, but store workers are not happy and are fighting back.
How would you like to walk into Wal-mart and see Luke Bryan, INSIDE, amongst the the chips, eggs, toothpaste, motor oil and dvds, peforming....

Most assuredly it is, if you weigh UT's No. 1 RPI (Ratings Percentage Index) rating and No. 1 strength of schedule ranking. After all this was a yardstick the NCAA selection committee designed and has religiously deployed over the years to help reduce the bias of perception and regional prejudice. In the past if a team had a complaint about where it is seeded, the selection committee merely had to refer it to the fairness formula aka the RPI. In a case of role reversal it's Bruce Pearl who is referring the NCAA to its own system and asking: what gives?
Adding insult to injury Tennessee not only didn't receive one of four top seeds, it was regarded as the fourth best No. 2 seed. It's the type of seed that could yield bitter fruit and leave a bad taste in the Vols' mouths. On the other hand such seeds might just produce a hardwood harvest.
Let's face it. Tennessee hasn't been the same team since its victory over Memphis and two-day stay in the No. 1 spot atop the major polls. Clearly the Vols had an arduous task playing what is arguably their four most heated rivals — Memphis, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Florida — in consecutive games. They won three of the four contests which were all decided by three points or less. Considering three of the four games were played on the road it was an unprecedented and proud achievement which netted the outright conference title and brought the glare of the national spotlight on the program.
Along with a glut of attention and recognition the Vols' long climb to the top rung also brought respect. In the process it took away a strong motivation. No longer could UT rally around the "No Respect" banner. Suddenly they were the hunted instead of the hunter. Higher expectations created greater pressure as a UT team that rose from ashes under Pearl was now feeling the heat.
The transformation was abrupt and nothing in the Vols' recent past could have prepared them for the difference. They continued to play hard but didn't seem to have the same energy level as they did before the upset at Memphis. They appeared to be pressing more on offense and were no longer dominating on defense. They may have also become accustomed to winning close games and therefore didn't feel the urgency to parlay advantages into quick knockouts.
The SEC Tournament reflected that reality as the Vols gave up an average of 90 points in two games and blew a nine-point lead in the second half against Arkansas as well as a double-digit cushion against South Carolina. They were getting beat down court and giving up more points on their press than they were generating. The Razorbacks dominate the boards, as the Vols repeatedly failed to do something as fundamental as boxing out despite playing man defense exclusively.
Tennessee's style of play depends on a high level of emotional intensity. Sometimes that's difficult to tap into when you're playing teams you've already beaten by double figures two and three times. (For instance: the Vols margin of victory over S.C. and Arkansas was 26 points in three games prior to the tournament.) Opponents also gain ground when playing UT multiple times because of the unique scramble man the Vols employ.
The NCAA represents a fresh start against teams they haven't played before. A season of high goals and amazing accomplishments is now reduced to a simple mantra of survive and advance. It's all been about reaching this point in the second season and now the focus is sharp.
In truth there's really not much of a difference between the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds in terms of subsequent success. However the NCAA has removed the yoke of expectations that has weighed UT down the last three weeks. The selection committee sowed the seed of discontent when it placed the Vols behind North Carolina in the east regional.
Now it may just reap the whirlwind.

The batteau was too cumbrous for use toward the head waters of the Missouri, and it was to be sent back to St. Louis.
Once or twice we passed the red wreck of a batteau which had been stove some spring.
Before placing in the batteau the coffin containing the body of the deceased, it is lawful for each one present to accuse him.
Take to your batteau and get you to Oswego as soon as may be.
We poled our batteau with outfit and camped where now stands the village of Franconia.
While one took the batteau by the bow, another kept hold of the stern to keep her from upsetting, or filling with water.
There was water enough to have swamped a batteau, but against a raft the comber had knocked its head off for nothing.
Well, said Capt. Peak as they beached the batteau and sprang ashore, I see you have the boat.
We happened to pass the bridge as a batteau was coming up to a store at the end of it, to discharge its cargo.
The portage was effected by placing the batteau on wheels and yoking it up to a string of oxen.

Transient means retrying the operation with the same state may succeed. It is a property of the exception regardless of context. Of course, caller code may ignore it or use additional information. Even network errors may be of both kinds. A network timeout error is transient. A DNS lookup error or malformed URL are not. > It seems to me that if an error is "transient", then the called function > might as well just always retry it in the first place, instead of > throwing an exception.

Yet it seems that you are > suggesting that it's more meaningful than FileNotFoundException? This is a misunderstanding. Transiency is a cross-cutting property. A FileNotFoundException is great (and non-transient btw). Andrei

How about a larger size?
The pure preparation of starting materials for further experiments can be really annoying. Why not try a new approach: outsource your plasmid preparation and order a scale that suits your experimental needs.
Plasmid DNA preparation services are required in research laboratories, biotech and pharmaceutical companies for applications such as:
Eurofins Genomics offers a variety of plasmid preparation services to cover individual needs:
1The actual yield will vary with the nature of the plasmid, bacterial hosts, and other factors.
Additional services
Together with the different plasmid preparation scales we offer a variety of services:
Our plasmid preparations come with the high quality standards and service options like all other products we offer:
Animal-product free preparation
Our plasmid preparations can be ordered endotoxin-free and sterile. As additional service we offer animal-product free preparations in Maxi-scale (100-500 µg).
We have developed an optimised protocol to offer a fully BSE- and TSE-free preparation. Certified "Animal-product free" material (e.g. Glycerol, LB agar, LB media, RNase) is used for the production and specially trained staff performs the preparation in a separate work area.
To the best of our knowledge, the prepared DNA is free of animal products.
