One of the ways that I think that OB could have been better, and that I think LW could be more helpful, is to put a greater emphasis on practice and practical techniques for improving rationality in the writings here and to give many more real-life examples than we do.
When making a post that hints at any kind of a practical technique, posters could really make an effort to clearly identify the practical implications and techniques, to put all the practical parts together in the essay rather than mixing them throughout 15 paragraphs of justification and reasoning, and to highlight that practical part of the post.
The practical parts could be extracted and placed together somewhere in order to have one single place that people can go to easily find them. Perhaps the LW software could provide some kind of support for distinguishing the practice sections of a post, and the extraction and aggregation of the practical howto sections could be automated.

Distributed generation: definition, benefits and issues
This paper starts from the observation that there is a renewed interest in small-scale electricity generation. The authors start with a survey of existing small-scale generation technologies and then move on with a discussion of the major benefits and issues of small-scale electricity generation. Different technologies are evaluated in terms of their possible contribution to the listed benefits and issues. Small-scale generation is also commonly called distributed generation, embedded generation or decentralised generation. In a final section, an attempt is made to define the latter concepts more precisely. It appears that there is no consensus on a precise definition as the concept encompasses many technologies and applications.

This is something hard to teach and hard to find for oneself. It's a reason even great writing teachers can't quite pin down what to do. You can take a story handed into a workshop and, in the case of how I approach it, make a few chiropractic adjustments, but that doesn't change the basic structure. That's something that comes up from a writer's depths--be they the depths of intellect or of feeling. Finding a structure is crucial. When an author always uses borrowed structures, a book often founders--not in the reading, but in the writing. The writer needs to feel held in place by her own skeleton.
One of my most sobering writing books is The Art of Criticism: Henry James on the Theory and Practice of Writing. It really makes you laugh and cry to dip into this volume. The guy is scary smart, and very moving. Included in the book are prefaces to some of his novels and stories, which read like very sophisticated versions of "Hey, did you get how the house is supposed to look like a face?" He wants you to see what he did, and get how great it is. Sweet! The intros are deeply brilliant and illuminating, and they do add to the work, but they also make me laugh. For example, here are a couple of sentences to his introduction to What Maisie Knew.
Okay! So it's not just me who finds this hard. That's a relief! I shouldn't settle for that first easy process--I knew it! Darn, back to the drawing board. I do want to find the best residiuum of truth--who doesn't? I'm tempted to copy out every word of this, because it's both wild and a great teaching tool, but because I can't type and for reasons of blog decency I'll skip down. Later in the essay James recalls his original idea for The Pupil.
...I perfectly recall...every aspect of the original vision, which struck me as abounding in aspects. It lives again for me, this vision, as it first alighted; though the prime inimitable flutter, the air as of an ineffable sign made by the immediate beat of the wings of the poised figure of fancy that has just settled, is one of the guarantees of value that can never be re-captured. The sign has been made to the seer only--it is his queer affair; of which any report to others, not as yet involved, has but the same effect of flatness as attends, amid a group fathered under the canopy of night, any stray allusion to a shooting star. The miracle, as miracle it seems, is all for the candid examiner.
This is why it's hard to teach. This vision of the whole, the structure, is queer and individual. Many people have the vision, but then there is the understanding of it, and its execution. Not for the faint of heart, this writing stuff.
But oh, this Henry James is so so lovable! Having picked this book up again to refer to for this post, I am drawn in. He's so serious. Reading these introductions makes me think of the wonderful bit in one of Virginia Woolf's diaries where she says the problem with Lord Byron was that his wife didn't laugh at him enough, so he became Byronic. I laugh when I read this stuff, even though I am completely enthralled. What a little pumpkin pie, that Henry James.
The point being, the bones. Every work of fiction must have them, and so they must be searched for, excavated from below the themes. Or spotted as a shooting star. Whatever. I finally found the bones for my book, and pretty clever they are. Or so I thought until I mentioned it to someone who said the fatal 'have you read such and such?' That doesn't scare me like it used to. It's the marriage of structure and material that becomes an original piece. As long as its queer, it's going to be okay.

Ibagué, city, central Colombia, on the eastern slopes of the Andean Cordillera Central (Central Mountains). Founded as San Bonifacio de Ibagué in 1550 on the site of an Indian village, it was moved to its present location, on a plain 4,216 feet (1,285 metres) above sea level, because of Indian attacks. It was the capital of the republic for a short time in 1854. The rapid expansion of coffee planting on the slopes above the city contributed to its growth, especially after 1890. The plain and the neighbouring valleys produce cacao, tobacco, rice, and sugarcane. Tolima University in Ibagué (founded in 1945) was given university status in 1954. The city is situated on the road that crosses the Boquerón del Quindío (Quindío Pass) into the Cauca Valley. This road connects Armenia and Bogotá, and Ibagué's location along this route has made the city an important commercial centre. Pop. (2003 est.) 412,820.

How Green The Bioplastics?
Department: Letters
Consumers are right to be skeptical of claims that bioplastics are "green" and "sustainable" when sourced from foodstocks (C&EN, July 15, page 18). The actual biobased content in some of these plastics, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), is relatively small. Note that under "cap and trade" laws, makers of some biobased plastics could credibly claim net credits for the carbon dioxide they have solidified.
Organizations with extensive intellectual property in this area stand to profit greatly under a legal system that allows them to sell the same products twice.

It is possible. It is also possible that you have a defense to a charge of DWI depending upon the evidence. If you are facing such a charge, you should hire the best attorney you can afford. If you are within one of the many jurisdictions in which I practice regularly, I might be able to offer my services to you for a reasonable fee.

MOKB Presents Sun King Concert Series
John Reilly & Friends (feat Becky Stark & Tom Brosseau)
Andru Bemis
Radio Radio
1119 E. Prospect St.
Indianapolis, IN, 46203
Doors 8:00 PM / Show 9:00 PM
This event is 21 and over
Watch & Listen
A man who needs no introduction -- but who we'll introduce as John C. Reilly – has released not one, but TWO Third Man singles recently, John & Tom: "Gonna Lay Down My Old Guitar" b/w "Lonesome Yodel Blues #2" finds John's duet with Tom Brosseau sung in close harmony as they perform two songs originally by The Delmore Brothers.
Becky & John's "I'll Be There If You Ever Want" b/w "I'm Making Plans" sees John paired with Becky Stark (Lavender Diamond) and swerves more in the classic country vein taking in tunes originally performed by Ray Price and Dolly Parton/Porter Wagoner.
Andru Bemis
Since 2001, Andru Bemis has wandered the ends, edges and in-betweens of North America more times than he can count. His unmistakable voice, expressive self-taught styles on banjo and guitar (and occasional fiddle or banjo-ukulele), engaging stage presence, and exquisitely crafted tunes of travel and longing have earned Bemis rapid respect and a dedicated following throughout Mexico, Canada, the U.S., and beyond. Andru's preferred mode of transport is Amtrak passenger trains, on which he has spent many months, performing almost nightly in cities and towns along the way. When no train is available, Bemis wends his path by foot, thumb, bicycle, bus, subway, ski and occasional aeroplane.
The songs of Andru Bemis are spiritually descended from an era when music was made and played to express one's deepest emotions while entertaining the neighbors. Bemis is a "traditionalist with a fresh approach and a modern troubadour with deep respect for the roots of his craft. He is a gifted vocalist and instrumentalist. His music speaks to our present condition in language of a gentler past" (Wepecket Island Records). The Birmingham [Ala.] Weekly calls Bemis a "modern-folk, Midwestern miracle of music …. with a voice that is pretty and ravaged, sounding as though 50 Appalachian winters have run him ragged."
Bemis' performances traverse the boundaries of age and culture, drawing audiences young and old, gypsies, folksies, punksies, babies, crusties, hillbillies, grannies and more. Children are known to request songs from his albums by track number, punks and rockers ask for soft tunes of unrequited love, and normally staid adults throw inhibitions aside to sing, bark and dance with folks they've only just met.
Besides having performed or toured with a good number of highly regarded bands and artists, Andru has collaborated on recordings with world traveling gypsy-punk accordianist Jason Webley, and on Rachel Ries' critically acclaimed Waterbug Records debut, For You Only, among others. Andru's three self-produced solo albums receive regular airplay on radio stations throughout North America, Europe and Australia. Rail To Reel, was called the Best Folk Album of 2006 (KDVS-FM; UC-Davis) for its unique instrumentation - including pump organ, banjo-ukulele, and tuba - and for bringing new life to a collection of lesser-known traditional songs learned and adapted by Bemis in his travels.
When he's not wandering, Andru Bemis returns to his shell - a mid-sized town on an especially large lake in southwest Michigan, where he operates a community center and all-ages performance venue in a former piston factory and shares his life with several thousand dusty records, a Singer sewing machine, a creaky rocking chair, and few good books.

Smoked Ham, Cheddar Cheese and Pear Panini
Here, the flavors of salty ham and sweet pears are nicely balanced by pungent mustard and a full-flavored cheddar cheese. If you can't find a Bartlett pear, a Comice or Anjou is a good substitute. Accompany the sandwiches with a simple tossed green salad. If you have a panini press or a panini grill, use it as directed in the manufacturer's instructions.
- 8 thick slices multigrain bread
- 1/2 cup whole-grain mustard
- 1/2 lb. thinly sliced smoked ham
- 1 Bartlett pear, peeled, cored and cut into slices about 1/4 inch thick
- 1/2 lb. medium-sharp cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup olive oil
Brush the bread slices on one side with the mustard. Divide the ham evenly among 4 of the slices. Top with the pear slices and then with cheese. Top with the remaining bread slices, mustard side down.
Heat a grill pan or heavy fry pan over medium-high heat. Brush the outsides of the sandwiches with the olive oil.
When the pan is hot, place 2 sandwiches in the center. Set another heavy pan on top of the sandwiches and place 2 or 3 heavy cans in the pan to weight it down evenly. Cook the sandwiches until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Turn the sandwiches over, weight them again, and cook until browned on the other side and the cheese is melting, about 3 minutes more. Transfer the sandwiches to a plate. Repeat to cook the remaining 2 sandwiches. Cut the sandwiches in half, place on individual plates and serve immediately. Serves 4.

US Sen. Bennet touting energy efficiency benefit
U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., said last week that agriculture producers and small-business owners in Colorado's rural communities can benefit from potential federal funding for energy audits and renewable energy development assistance.
"There is a lot of potential cost savings in energy efficiency for small businesses, farmers, ranchers and rural communities," Bennet said in a news release. "Taking advantage of these energy audits is just one way Colorado's rural communities can help lead the way toward a clean energy economy. I encourage all eligible groups in Colorado to submit applications for funding to ensure that our small businesses and agriculture producers can take advantage of this program to save money, grow their businesses and continue to create jobs."
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is making $2.4 million available for energy audits in fiscal year 2010, the release stated. Grants of as much as $100,000 are awarded on a competitive basis. The funds are provided through the Rural Energy for America Program and authorized by the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008, known as the Farm Bill.
Recommended Stories For You
The Farm Bill allows agricultural producers or rural small businesses to recover as much as three-quarters of the cost of an energy audit. Recipients are required to pay 25 percent of the audit cost. Audit resources are not provided directly to an eligible producer but are allocated instead to an intermediary that works with the audit recipient. Eligible intermediaries for energy audit grants include state, tribal or local government entities; land-grant colleges and universities and other institutions of higher education; rural electric cooperatives; and public power entities.

The San Diego State women's basketball team secured the outright regular-season Mountain West championship earlier this week at Air Force. And if the Aztecs are to win the conference tournament next week in Las Vegas, they'll need to prevail over three consecutive grueling nights to do it.
Sounds like a good reason for head coach Beth Burns to give her top players a break in the home finale at 2 p.m. on Saturday against Boise State.
Except that wouldn't be a scenario Burns could even fathom.
"Did you know (former NFL coach) Herm Edwards is an SDSU graduate?" Burns asked no one in particular in a press conference. Then she added, speaking slowly to add emphasis, "Herm Edwards says you … play … to … win … the … game."
Burns gestured to the team's senior stars on each side of her, guards Courtney Clements and Chelsea Hopkins.
"To my right and to my left, they would take me out if we did not play to win the game," she said.
It will be Senior Day at Viejas Arena, and this is not going to be one of those for which they trot out a few bench warmers, families in tow, who already have one foot out the door toward life in the real world. Four of SDSU's five starters are seniors, so letting them cruise toward the beginning of postseason is not an option.
"I think you want to go into the (MW) tournament feeling good, playing well, feeling confident," Burns said. "Confidence and momentum is March. We'll manage our rest."
The Aztecs (23-5) could not have more momentum heading into the game against Boise State (11-17). They clinched their second straight outright regular-season title on Wednesday by beating Air Force for their 14th consecutive victory. SDSU is 14-1 in conference, including a remarkable 8-0 record on the road.
The seniors who will be celebrated before the game are Clements, Hopkins, forward Gabrielle Clark, center Malia Nahinu, and reserve guard Niki Novak. All but Novak, a Mira Mesa High grad who came from the SDSU track team, have averaged at least 21 minutes per game.
Clements tops the team by averaging 17.5 points per game, and Hopkins (13.8 ppg) leads in rebounds (7.6) and assists (179 overall).
Burns encouraged fans to arrive early on Saturday to catch the senior ceremony.
"These women have given their heart and soul to this university and the basketball program," the coach said. "They are all about the Aztecs, on and off the floor.
"… We're going to have a big 'ol party before the game, and I'd like to think we're going to have another big 'ol party afterward. Next week is to worry about the conference tournament. This week is all about finishing 15-1, hanging our banner and sending our seniors off right."

CARNEIRO, Fabiana Pirani et al. Condilomata acuminata with Schistosoma eggs in HIV-positive patient. Rev bras. colo-proctol. [online]. 2007, vol.27, n.2, pp.207-209. ISSN 0101-9880. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0101-98802007000200013.
Condilomata acuminata and Schistosoma eggs are frequently found in the anal region, but there is no report about the association of these diseases in this region. The association of HPV infection and Schistosoma eggs in an HIV-positive patient was found in uterine cervix and there is evidence suggesting that this association can alters the natural history of these diseases. Like in the cervix, it is possible that this interaction also occurs in the anal region. So, we report a case of anal Condilomata acuminata, in an HIV-positive patient, that was ressected and contained on histopathologic examination, multiple Schistosoma eggs.
Keywords : HIV; condilomata acuminata; Schistosoma eggs; anal region; HPV.

Contactins are a subgroup of molecules belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily that are expressed exclusively in the nervous system. The subgroup consists of six members: Contactin-1, Contactin-2 (TAG-1), Contactin-3 (BIG-1), BIG-2, Contactin-5 (NB-2) and NB-3. Since their identification in the late 1980s, Contactin-1 and Contactin-2 have been studied extensively. Axonal expression and the neurite extension activity of Contactin-1 and Contactin-2 attracted researchers to study the function of these molecules in axon guidance during development. Contactin-1 and Contactin-2 have come to be known as the principal molecules in the function and maintenance of myelinated neurons. In contrast, the function of the other four members of this subgroup remained unknown until recently. Contactin-1 is a cell surface adhesion molecule that is normally expressed by neurons and oligodendrocytes. Particularly high levels of Contactin-1 are present during brain development. Contactin-1 and Contactin-2 are differentially expressed in a number of neuronal tissues during development, and they interact with several ligands including Nr-CAM, L1, NCAM, neurocan, phosphacan, and tenascin. As a cell adhesion molecule, Contactin-1 plays a role in the formation of axon connections in the developing nervous system. It was demonstrated that Contactin-1 participates in signal pathways via its association with Contactin-associated protein (CNTNAP1), receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase beta (RPTPb) and NOTCH1. Contactin-1 is also involved in paranodal axo-glial junction formation and oligodendrocytes generation. Furthermore, studies indicated that Contactin-1 functions importantly in the invasion and metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma cells. Contactin-1 may also significantly influence the functional expression and distribution of Na+ channels in neurons.

Right to Life group to meet
This past month Washington County Right to Life participated in an event which took place across North America. This event was the annual Life Chain. Some people refer to the chain as a protest. However, in actuality, it is a time of prayer. Participants hold signs which on the back contain Scriptures, song lyrics and prayer suggestions for the individual to utilize during the hour. Instructions include to be quiet and courteous, not to obstruct pedestrian or vehicular traffic, and to spend the hour in prayer. Some suggested prayer items are: the nation, moms and pre-born babes, those who have been touched by abortion, and for the participant herself/himself to communicate the value and importance of life to those with whom they come in contact during the regular course of their lives.
The group's goal is to communicate with the community the value of life at all stages. Join Right to Life in speaking for those without a voice at 7 p.m. on the first Tuesday of the month in the Wolfe Conference Room at the Washington Public Library.

Just when walls of waves and blue skies promise to draw thousands of sightseers, sunbathers and surfers alike, navigating the coast will prove challenging this weekend.
The biggest challenge? Driving and bicycling along Coast Highway 101, were the North Torrey Pines Bridge will be closed starting at 9 p.m. Friday through 6 a.m. on Monday. Demolition on the west half of the bridge requires it to be closed to all cars, bicyclists and pedestrians.
On a normal day, 20,000 vehicles cross the bridge.
The tracks below will be closed too: There will be no Coaster or Amtrak Pacific Surfliner service in San Diego County this weekend.
Amtrak construction crews will be working along portions of the rail line from Carlsbad Village Drive to just south of Cannon Road. Amtrak hopes to complete all construction between Carlsbad Village Drive and Palomar Airport Road in February.
North County Transit District will operate express shuttle buses between Oceanside and Santa Fe Station in Downtown San Diego for Coaster and Amtrak passengers.
There will be 13 buses running in each direction. Southbound buses leave Oceanside between 8:35 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., on both Saturday and Sunday. Northbound buses leave Santa Fe Station between 9:55 a.m. and 6:45 p.m.
The buses will make one stop -- in Encinitas -- during the 64 minute trip. Here's the NCTD website with the exact schedule.
North Torrey Pines Road will be closed to all vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle traffic from the Torrey Pines State Beach parking lot north to Carmel Valley Road.
Pedestrians and cyclists can use Carmel Valley Road and the Torrey Pines Beach parking lot to bypass the closure.
Southbound vehicles will be diverted to Carmel Valley Road and on to Interstate 5. Northbound traffic will be sent to Genesee Avenue then on to I-5 north.
The aging bridge which is the southern entry into Del Mar is undergoing an extensive seismic retrofit that includes replacing the entire top deck. Deteriorating concrete is also being repaired.

Written on: 13/12/2013
Booked a holiday with this company - was promised an upgrade to our hotel room if I booked on the day we made the initial inquiry. Once I arrived at the resort I was told that we where booked into the most basic room the resort offers. I paid a significant amount of money directly to the resort for the upgraded room and contacted Yourholidays.com on my return. Their response is entirely inadequate and they are refusing to compensate me in any way.
Upon doing further research, it appears I got off lightly. They seem to leave a string of unhappy customers, some of which have been stranded abroad, all of which say that they take no responsibility at all for their mistakes.
I am currently pursuing legal action against them.
Written on: 21/01/2014
I feel exactly like you, they promised me the same (an upgrade and the breakfast included) and when I got to the hotel I had NOTHING.
I also had to call them five times in order to get my plane tickets which I got just few hours before my flight!!
So, apart from the bad costumer service they are also CHEATERS, there is no other world to define them. Even in the website it is explicitly advertised the offer I took as a "Bed + Breakfast deal".
In summary; extremely disappointed with them. DO NOT book with this company
Written on: 27/01/2014
Yourholidays Response -
Thank you for your comments.
As advised to you whilst you were in resort. As a company we constantly strive to make every aspect of the holiday experience enjoyable and it disappoints us to hear of your concerns. We can assure you that we are committed to providing quality service to our customers and to making continuous improvements in meeting customer expectations.
Having investigated your complaint I would like to take this opportunity to clarify our findings.
When you make a holiday booking with us, the booking is made by phone, where all calls are recorded. They are recorded for your and our protection for cases such as this one.
By law, we can only go by the verbal contract you made with our sales advisor at the time of booking, the contract is formed when card details are given. Having listened to this call, we can confirm you have only paid for and agreed to book Room only.
If our sales advisor had confirmed to you she was booking you on a bed and breakfast board basis, we would rectify the situation for you to the best of our ability, however you have been provided with what you have paid for.
We then issue paperwork, again stating what has been booked, in your case; all paperwork we have issued you states Room Only as the board basis.
We can only apologise for the misunderstanding that has occurred.
The costs of the holiday was also agreed by you at the time of booking.
We have provided you with a copy of the call should you wish to refer to it.
Taking everything into account, we cannot agree that you have been mis-advised on this occasion.
In closing, we do hope that despite the points raised you still managed to derive some significant enjoyment and benefit from your holiday.

The FreeBSD x11@ and graphics team proudly presents
a zeising, kwm production, with help from dumbbell, bdrewery:
This update switches over to use the new xorg stack by default on FreeBSD 9
and 10 stable, on osversions where vt(9) is available.
It is still possible to use the old stack by specifying WITHOUT_NEW_XORG in
/etc/make.conf .
FreeBSD 8-STABLE and released versions of FreeBSD still use
the old version.
A package repository with binary packages for new xorg will
be available soon.
This patch also contains updates of libxcb and related ports, pixman, as well
Use setuptools for all Python ports.
Setuptools is the preferred method to manage Python distributions after
many changes to the packaging ecosystem over the past couple of years.
Only ports using USE_PYDISTUTILS= yes are affected by this commit, ports using
USE_PYDISTUTILS= easy_install remains the same however this usage is now
deprecated and should be converted to USE_PYDISTUTILS= yes.
Some Python distributions do not work with setuptools out of the box because
they extend the install command from distutils and not setuptools, and
so they need to be patched accordingly.
pip (which leverages setuptools) works around the issue by using eggs, however
we want to get rid of those as well, as support for "flat" installation is
New USES=twisted, to replace the old USE_TWISTED knob.
twisted can be configured with the arguments run or build to replace

components can be added as comma-separated arguments. If you previously
USE_TWISTED= yes
USE_TWISTED= conch names
USE_TWISTED_RUN= yes
you now would write
USES= twisted
USES= twisted:conch,names

So I just ordered my first Tama P's and it is the Aikatsu set one. I like to purchase things in bulk usually because it would be the best price on ebay, but should I get multiple P's? (Considering getting minimum 3 P's with a total of 11 pierces including the Aikatsu set for a total of $338 tracked shipping included). Should I go for this collection of P's and pierces or should I just be content with my one P's with Aikatsu pierce and just get a CIAO pierce? (Total: $80-$87) I really just want the CIAO pierce with a Tama P's but CDJapan had the best deal and the Aikatsu set P's is white and pink which is so adorable. *v* Opinions please? Am I just wasting money? //Am so conflicted Am also unsure if I really need all those pierces or is it worth it to get that many of them... o.0

Well it's up to you if you think it's worth it but keep in mine that you will need 3 P's in order to get all the secret characters
As far as the pierces go it would be best to just get the few that you like the most unless you really want to strive for having a complete set
Edited by Brittygotchi, 13 March 2014 - 04:21 PM.
Posted 13 March 2014 - 04:40 PM ( #3 )
Yeah.. I really like Harptchi but then buying two more P's hm.. lowest ones are about $50 if I buy the set I mentioned above each P's would come out to $40 with each pierce at $20. Still I would spend less.. only getting 3 P's and the CIAO pierce would be about $200 instead of $338 with the other 9 pierces o.o
Posted 13 March 2014 - 05:42 PM ( #4 )
There are 17 pierces released in all, the earlier ones are getting really harder to find --- so IMO just choose the ones you like best.
Posted 13 March 2014 - 05:44 PM ( #5 )
well id say go for it i own 7 tamagotchi p's devices and 15 deco pierces im still hunting for the last two that i need lol i LOVE the device and think its definitely worth it!

Giovanni Battista Ferrandini
BiographyGiovanni Battista Ferrandini (1710 – 25 October 1791), an Italian composer of the Baroque and Classical eras, was born in Venice, Italy and died in Munich, at the age of 81.
The newly constructed Bavarian Court Theatre (Residenztheater) in Munich opened on 12 October 1753 with Ferrandini's opera "Catone in Utica". A recording of the opera made 250 years later in the same theatre is available (Oehms Classics OC 901).
Other operas: Giordo 1727, Il Sacrifico Invalido 1729, Adriano in Siria 1737. Cantata "Il Pianto di Maria" 1739. Two recordings exist of his opera "Catone in Utica." Music for the crowning of emperor Karl. VII. in Frankfurt 1742.
In 1755, Ferrandini retired to Padua.
In 1771, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his father Leopold Mozart visited Ferrandini in Padua.

Wireless PCs can stay connected when router is removed?
Ok, here is an event that happened today. Unfortunately I did not thuroughly test everything after this occured but I plan to look into it further.
Here is a little background: I currently have 3 PCs all running win7. I have my main PC that is wired to the network running x86 7057. I have a laptop that was running 7000 and obviously connected wirelessly. I also have an HTPC running x64 7068 that connects wirelessly as well. All of them are part of the same homegroup.
Now, today I was watching a movie with the htpc that was being shared from the laptop. It was only maybe a third of the way through when I had to disconnect my router because I was installing a new one. After I powered off the router and disconneted everything I fully expected the buffer on the movie to run out shortly and it to cut out. However, it did not. In fact it kept playing for well over an hour until the movie was finished. Once the movie stopped, MCE did come back up saying it could not find any shared libraries.
So, my question is, did the HTPC really buffer the whole movie in the short amount of time that I had watched the first part of the movie? Otherwise it would seem that the HTPC and laptop had connected to each other wirelessly to continue playback once the router was removed.
I tried to find more information about this but it was kind of a vague search topic. Maybe I missed this in an article about win7 or homegroups.
Anyway, I just thought it was an odd event and figured someone here would know what was going on. Like I said before, I do plan to try to reproduce this an test further if someone does not have a simple answer.
|My System Specs
|04 Apr 2009
7600.20510 x86
It buffered the entire movie. You don't mention what file type or quality, but a typical .avi is only a cd size (~700 MB+), or two. A whole DVD is anywhere from 4 to 9 GB. I am guessing you don't mean BluRay.
Any typical home network could send any of that within watching a 1/3 of a movie, which is approximately a half hour.
This is my guess.
And no, one wireless connected pc will not connect to another wireless connected pc when the router they are connected to is removed, on their own.
|My System Specs
|04 Apr 2009
Yeah, that makes more sense. I just didnt realize it would buffer the whole thing. Yes, it was just an .avi so the file wasn't more than 1GB. It just seemed like an odd incident so I figured I would throw it out here to be sure.

Deeper Still
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 11/6/2007
|your cart is empty
Lenny Marcus hails from Washington, DC but worked for many years in New Orleans. He has studied, performed, and recorded with many jazz greats, including Ray Bryant, Alvin Batiste, Ellis Marsalis, David 'Fathead' Newman, Jane Powell, Brian Lynch, Charlie Byrd, Herb Ellis, and many others. Lenny's compositions has received acclaim as well, and his song, 'In the Middle of the Night,' was a finalist in ISC's International Song Competition in 2005. Jazz Times magazine wrote of Lenny's CD, 'Jazzaphrenia,' which featured Frank Foster and Sonny Fortune, that 'the way this group plays jazz is infectious!' 'Deeper, Still' is the 9th CD put out by the Lenny Marcus Trio, which features stellar guitarist Cyrus Pace on many of the tracks. Lenny writes, 'this new project is a bit different than our past CD's, as there is much meditative and contemplative feeling in the compositions and the performance.' The group can't help but swing on several tracks, as in Rhapsody in Blue, Wouldn't it be Loverly?, and Alvin Batiste's Little Star. However, the title track Deeper, Still, and Inner Journey, are deeply moving songs with beautiful interplay between grand piano and acoustic guitar. The CD opens with 'Turn on the Stars,' which sounds like a jazz classic upon the first listen. 'Meditations in Time' is an ultra cool 5/4 song with a blues feel. 'Deeper, Still' shows off the deep feeling of Marcus's compositions, complimented by the beautiful guitar work of Cyrus Pace, the lyrical acoustic bass playing of Scott Trayer, with Larry Scott adding subtle textures on the drums.

"By its nature, the metropolis provides what could otherwise be given only by traveling; namely, the strange."
– Jane Jacobs
Last week, I was visited by a peeping tom. I had just gotten out of the shower and walked over to my bed, where my laptop was sitting, so that I could turn on the next episode of Orphan Black. I just happened to look up at the window that was directly across from where I was standing — 'Why? Did you feel like someone was looking at you?' the police officer would later ask me — and I saw the silhouette of a man staring at me.
My first thought: that must be my reflection, right? I mean, why would anyone actually stare at anyone else through a window? And two, the person had short hair, and I have short hair, and obviously I am the only person on earth with short hair so that must be my own reflection, right?
I moved to the side to see if the silhouette would move with me. It didn't. I stood straight up. The man stood straight up. I stared for a second, suddenly became furious, considered grabbing something heavy as a weapon and running outside and yelling WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING INTRUDING ON MY BEAUTIFUL PERFECT APARTMENT WHERE UNTIL NOW I HAVE ALWAYS FELT COMPLETELY SAFE (or something more brilliant, terrifying, and full of swear words, ideally) — but then I turned and ran back into my bathroom and sat on my pink toilet, instead.
After about ten minutes and several pep talks, I forced myself to go back out into the apartment, cover the window with a massive picture frame, and call the police. When the police arrived they confirmed that they had seen the man looking in someone else's window on the way over and that he'd fled, so that was that — I hadn't imagined it. There had really been a peeping tom at my window.
When I was living in Chicago, there was this free daily newspaper that mostly covered pop culture, random news, horoscopes, trends — mostly mindless things. My favorite page, however, was what I called the "murder page." It listed all of the murders that had occurred in Chicago that week and it would tell you where they had happened, what kind of weapon had been used, and how long it had been since another murder had occurred in that same part of town.
I would always expect it to say something like, "This is the most amount of murders that has occurred in this part of the city since 1983," or some far off year like that, but the time frame was always more like, "This is the most amount of murders that has occurred in this part of the city since last Thursday." Visit Chicago, everyone!
In June I am moving to New York City. It will be the third major US city that I call home — Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, the three big ones. A few people have mentioned dangerous neighborhoods to avoid and others have told me to be careful on the subways, and it almost makes me want to laugh — as dangerous as big cities are, they are the places I feel safest.
I grew up in a big city and although I am introverted, shy, and love a quiet night in at home as much as a fun night out, loud massive cities are where I am most comfortable. In fact, I will go so far as to say that wide open rural spaces kind of scare me, particularly at night. I know the rhythms and noises of a big city, but I haven't spent enough time out in quiet towns or rural spaces to feel completely at ease there. Also, I've read In Cold Blood and NO THANKS, small town Kansas.
Every woman who's ever traveled anywhere by herself has probably had someone tell her to be careful as a woman traveling alone. While I do believe that anyone, male or female, should be careful when traveling solo, it baffles me to think that we can so easily ignore the dangers that come with staying at home, dangers that we are far more likely to experience at one point or another, especially if we live in a big city.
The peeping tom thing was scary. The murder page in Chicago was scary. The rents in New York are looking pretty scary. But the fear has never ruined the city for me and I don't plan to let it start now.
I love the noise of cars on the freeway at night and the view of the skyline from the top of the John Hancock building. I love the subway, or the El, or the metro, or whatever it's called in whatever city I'm in. I love tiny apartments and rooftop bars.
And I hope the peeping tom ends up on Chicago's murder page.
Well that ended on a high note! Just want to take a moment to say that everyone should look up the non-emergency police phone number for their city if they haven't already, and program it into your phone. I didn't have mine programmed so I had to look it up, and the police could have gotten to me even sooner if I'd had it ready. Also, if you call and they answer like "Hello, this is the police non-emergency line," and you yell "IS THIS THE POLICE?!" like I did, you will scare them. The more you know.

Microsoft was recently added to the list in a recent string of high profile cyber-attacks. Rogue hackers have also capitalized on Mandiant's report alleging that the Chinese are playing a major role in U.S. computer network infiltration.
Microsoft recently added themselves to the list of a string of high profile cyber-attacks. Facebook and Apple both admitted that hackers had infiltrated their servers as well in an attempt to spread computer viruses. Many computer experts believe the recent report from Mandiant, which is a computer security agency, gave many rogue hackers an excuse to engage in a heavy barrage of high profile website break-ins.
In a recent blog post from Microsoft, they wrote that a small number of their computers had become victim to some malicious software that was installed by online hackers. Microsoft put to rest any concerns from their customers saying they did not have any evidence that any malware had spread, or that any customer data was compromised, however, they did say that an investigation into the break-in was ongoing.
"During our investigation, we found a small number of computers, including some in our Mac business unit, that were infected by malicious software using techniques similar to those documented by other organizations. We have no evidence of customer data being affected and our investigation is ongoing, "writes Matt Thomlinson, General Manager of Microsoft's Computer Security. " This type of cyber-attacks is no surprise to Microsoft and other companies that must grapple with determined and persistent adversaries (see our prior analysis of emerging threat trends)."
On Tuesday, February 19th, Apple announced the same group of rogue hackers that hit Facebook attacked them. Facebook claimed that they sourced the attack out of China and had done so by using an exploit in the laptops of some of their employees.
In regards to the recent report from Mandiant on threats to U.S. computer networks, the report itself is now being used as a means to spread more malware and viruses. Tainted versions of their report began showing up online recently that would infect PCs with a virus that allowed a hacker to take control of an infected PC.
Symantec Corporation announced on their website blog that some versions of Mandiant's report also began showing up in Japanese based E-mails.
Brandon Dixon who serves as a security engineer for Mandiant wrote on February 21st, "This morning I identified a PDF with the name "Mandiant_APT2_Report.pdf" uploaded from India and was using a lure different than what Symantec just reported on. The file is password protected following the theme Xecure andmyself had seen last year."
Many security experts feel that the recent flood of cyber-attacks will only fuel other rogue hackers to cause more mischief online. These recent attacks also coincide with Anonymous' "Operation Last Resort", which is a direct response to the suicide of Aaron Swartz after the U.S. Justice department began targeting him. Anonymous has successfully hacked both the U.S. Department of State and USSC websites.

I've just found out that the Manchester Off Road bike ride event for The Christie Charitable Fund Manchester Off Road Charity Ride has been cancelled for September and replaced with the Manchester 100 mile road event instead, which is a bit of a disappointment.
I was going to do this with a couple of my colleagues and our employer was going to make a donation for taking part, but I really don't like the idea of 100 miles on my mountain bike. (Not a roadie, yet...)
Does anyone know about any other charity mountain bike rides in the north in the next couple of months that we could take part in instead?

Should the odd comment that I make on Twitter today affect my ability to find a job twenty years from now? Does it matter if I'm 10 years old today? 15 years old? 25 years old? 35 years old? 45 years old? Is our online identity and personal brand a compilation of everything that we post online or is it what we've most consistently said, most often said, most recently said? As a teacher, I think that development and progress is more about process over time. I don't hold the same beliefs today that I held when I was 13. (Hopefully) as I've gotten older, my actions have become more aligned with my beliefs. I think that we've all struggled at some point or another to do the actions that reflect the person that we want to be.
So I guess I have three questions about online identity/personal branding:
- Given the indelible nature of the web, should we really be living our lives online in the exact same way that we live our "real" lives? What's our responsibility to ourselves to be selective about who we are and what we share online?
- How should we be using the information about other people that is available online? What's our responsiblity as fellow world citizens?

Pidgin is hilarious when used purely as spoof.
You need heart to be truly dangerous and the Motor City underwent cardiac arrest years back. Chicago has an inferiority complex and may never see that it just wants to be New York, Boston, and Philly. You're not coastal in Middle America. I love Philly brah. It's the closest thing to another Boston and actually has a lot of differentiation from it too that we don't have up here but would be served well with. Two months from now though we will have Yuengling again so you're just gonna have to get more creative again.
Cracker please...I like that. I'm citing you as a reference material every time I use that term on way to overuse.
There are some hard sectors of the USA, but if you want hardness go visit some places abroad. Cultural relativism is astounding when you see it spread itself across societies. The SI faithful would be tarred and feathered and served to spirits in the jungle before lunchtime in certain places.
Enough about the world around us that we have little influence on. What are YOU doing for YOUR stoke today? We just came out of being nature's latest cryogenics experiment and today it's 52 and all the snow is gone. We've been frozen for 30 years. Are you charging today? We've got chest to shoulder windswell of the short period kind today. Are you charging? Does 52 and moist air negate the paralyzing effects of 40 degree ocean if you sport a 3/2 like GAgrommet? I'm willing to donate my body to science today. I could use a good ice cream headache and hypothermic buzz.
Are you guys stoked yet? It's 2014. This year is all about raising banners. And fun. Lots of fun.
btw, PB&J - after checking out the home break the other day we hit New Hammy and got pizza afterwards

So, a couple of those games just didn't go the way i wanted. Like last night too. I hate Kaepernick. He is an arrogant sh** talker. Such a d-bag in the post game interviews. Acting all coy. He was running his mouth after losing the Superbowl last year. He is just a punk. No Class. Don't want to see a guy like that win.
But back to "Matty Ice". He is a quality player. No doubt. Just never in fantasy. Not to cry over spilled milk, but in my family FFB league, I had Drew Brees as my keeper, and I swear to god, somehow when the draft started, CJ Spiller was my auo-keeper pick. Brees, Manning, Brady, Rodgers and everyone else was already taken by the keeper picks from the previous year. Knowing that the Falcons are always a solid squad, especially at home, I rolled the dice with Matt Ryan. Ryan has always been a solid, winning QB, but he is a Joe Flacco type. A winner and a baller, but not a FFB numbers guy.... And then it spiraled out of control. it was one of those things every week, where I was thinking, okay, this is the week for Ryan and the Falcons. They are at home. They can't keep playing this poorly. But they did. It was just a bad year all around for them. The go to NFL team is Atlanta in this whole region. Them and the Panthers. So, every damn game is televised. And if its not them, they will air Jags games. Yeah!

Jan 6, 2014, 03:32 PM #135
zach brah, Matty Ice is a Flacco type? They've got nearly identical regular season records (including this poor season by ATL) and Matty's done that not at all with an Iron Curtain like Flacco's D of recent. Compare the stats. I know stats aren't everything but those two guys are not the same. Flacco has a ring, yes, and was lights out in the postseason last year in one of the best playoff runs of all-time. He's not always come up big in big games, though. Matty is why the Falcons have even been in the hunt and as seen in the NFC Championship game last year, not even his best playoff performance can overshadow suspect D and special teams that Flacco has never had.
You guys can all chill about Kaepernick. The Niners aren't winning the NFC.
So you cooked food for the Chargers. Did they like fish tacos?
Are you charging today zach?
A few questions:
Why do I have to get, "more creative again." Didn't catch that one.
Also, why do you keep axing if I'm charging today?
My stokes been used up. I've been doing this a long time. Friday used to be typical in the winters here once upon a time.
Yeah, actually I am going out today. I'm not charging, though. I'm going to paddle out, sit around and nab a few.
And appreciate Boston. It's my favorite town in the country, but's it's no Philly when it comes to crack and guns.
Oh dude, just a pointer. Hit the points on the first day, not the leftover day.
I used to eat pizza in New Hampshire. New Hampshire's awesome. Great place. Lovely hamlet of coastal vibe. Too many surfers these days, heck there were too many in 1996.
You got parts of east side and west side that's rough. Philly's pretty much all rough except for the extreme NE and friggin Chestnuthill in the extreme, extreme NW. All of your shootings are in centralized areas on the east and west sides. So I assume the murder dots are HIGHLY concentrated in a few areas.
AND B-more's drug trade has hit it's strides in the past 5 or 10 years, and it's where Philly was 20 years ago. Philly has recorded over 500 murders in some years when they were at the height of their drug slanging. Your Baltimore dudes are at the height of their mayhem. Philly is becoming more sophisticated and peaceful. We had a record low number of homicides this year...like, since 1960 or something.
See, the Philly thug is learning that there is enough fiends to go around, and that the shooting only bring the heat. Some day they will teach Baltimore that.
And your dope comes from up here. Don't fall for the media BS. NYC supplies the Northeast. It doesn't come from May he go. It comes direct from Colombia(maybe a stop in Puerto Rico or The Dominican Republic) and to ports in NY & NJ.......and a lesser amount in Boston, Philly and Baltimore.
New York may have gone through social changes, but it's still the top dog of the country. It's still friggin New York.

But, in a quick bit of research, I was dissapointed to find that Detroit is in fact still at the top of the list of major cities. Flynt Michigan is #1 due to the per capita 100000 in which they gauge the stats. There is always some strange town that has 70 murders in a year that skews the statistics... But it said even though Detroit has lost 1/2 of its residents, they still had upwards of 500 murders last year, bringing the crown back to the Canadian border. Baltimore is now #5 of the "most deadly cities" rankings. Unfortunately, Philly didn't even make the top 20 over the past few years. St. Louis and New Orleans passed us both. Those bastards.
On a good note, it is nice to see that in the past 2 years, murders in baltimore dropped 10% from their 20 year average. Baltimore is a wonderful town and its a shame that it has gotten to where it is. I mean, aside from the Harbor, there is not one safe area in the entire city. Anyone that lives in that area can attest to that. Aside from little Italy, cause everybody is strapped out there.... Hampden is ghetto now. Highlandtown. Even the south side of Federal hill will get your ass shot. Canton, Fed Hill and downtown were to only "safe" areas to recreate back in my hay day, and they are all surrounded by projects on all 4 sides...
Anyway, I really do hope Baltimore can resurrect itself from the 60% home vacancies in the city and all the damn crime. I mean, you can walk down pretty any street in the city and within 2 blocks you are in an open air drug market getting solicited for any thing you can imagine. Sh**, the Greyhound station downtown on Fayette, Lexington Market. Right there in the tourist area. You can hop out of the car for 30 seconds and get "served" with cops sitting and watching. Of the chicken shop on Park Avenue.... They are everywhere....
Jan 6, 2014, 04:42 PM #139
But back to Ryan and Flacco. They were drafted in the same year. They have similar stats, but let me remind you why flacco got 120 million. He is the only QB in NFL History to make the playoffs his first 5 seasons. He is also the first player ever to enter 5 playoffs consecutively and win at least one game in every year. The ravens have NEVER been one and done in the playoofs with Flacco... He went to 3 AFC championship game and has one superbowl Win... He has set an astonishing amount of Rookie to present day stats. He has the most TDS of a 5 year rookie start ever in history....
The Ravens sold off the entire squad this year. We had no one. Brand new D. New Line. Pitta was out all year... It was a sh** year for us, but we blew so many games. And if we would have simply beat Cinci last week, we were in there again....
I like Matt Ryan, but when it counts, the Falcons just never make things happen in the post season. I thought in previous years, when the Falcons had home field in the dome, that they were going to the superbowl... Its not all on Matt Ryan, but I would have to say, it aint how you start, its how you finish... Ask the Bengals, they have been a solid team for 5 years. The Bengals havent won a SINGLE playoff game since 1990. So they can talk about Andy Dalton, and AJ Green and whoever else, but they are choke artists....
All that matters is tropheys and rings.... If ya aint first, your last as it were. Ya know?
My investor for my restaurants is from Atlanta, so I was really pissed that you guys didn't make a run last year, because he said if it was Baltimore and Atl in the superbowl, he was taking me... That would have been epic.
Jan 6, 2014, 04:45 PM #140
Ohh and when Julio Jones went out (Yes my WR1 in FFB), I knew the season was a bust. It took Roddy White 14 weeks to show up healthy. S Jax was hurt. Other than T gon, yall were all banged up. It is what it is. Your WR 3 stepped up for a few weeks, but you could tell that Matt Ryan didnt have his 2 security blankets. Roddy and Julio. Without them, you a re a whole different squad... I love Jackson too, but he needs to be healthy to be effective.

The Maryville High School Speech team competed in their district qualifier this past weekend.
As a result of their success, two students will compete in the National Speech and Debate League Tournament in June.
