text: 0) Unpack the new update. 1) Examine each patchfile to determine if all or some patches may no longer be needed, or needs to be applied differently (see 2 below for special-case patch-configure.ac). Once patched are applied, update the patch files in the applied-patched directory. 2) The patch-configure.ac file only deals with libtool-style versioning. We had altered the version numbers so that the version number in the name of the dylib matched the libedit version number, but this was the wrong thing to do, and now we are stuck. For instance, original libtool-style version number for a past version was 0:27:0. It was changed to 1:11:0 so that libedit.2.11.dylib was created (1 is added to the major number, because the libtool major number can be zero, but not the Mac OS X major number). libedit 3.0 has a libtool version number of 0:35:0, meaning it is binary- compatible with the 2.11 version. Since we now build with Xcode, we don't care about the libtool versioning, *except* that it tells use the 3.0 version is binary compatible with libedit.2.dylib. So we can create a libedit.3.dylib, plus the usual symlinks libedit.dylib, and libedit.3.0.dylib, and also create a libedit.2.dylib symlink, *if* we remember to set the compatibility version of libedit.3.dylib to 2.0. 3) We need to create config.h, which means we need to run configure. New in libedit 3.0 is utf-8 support, which is enabled with the --enable-widec option. To determine what what this option changes, we create two copies of the patched directories, and run configure in both, one with the new option, and one without. 3a) We compare the config.h from the two directories. In this case, a new new #define is set (WIDECHAR). 3b) We compare the corresponding Makefiles, ignoring path differences due to having two different directory names. Again, in this case, we see that previously commented-out files are now enabled (this also tells us that if we didn't enable the utf-8 support, those files would be unused, and probably would have waste space if we blindly added those files to Xcode). There are 3 new .c files in this case: eln.c historyn.c tokenizern.c 4) Compare the files in the src directory, between the old libedit and the new. There are 3 new .c files and 1 new .h file: chartype.c chartype.h eln.c wcsdup.c So 1 of these new .c files (eln.c) is accounted for in 3b). 5) src/Makefile creates some of these new source files. These files (along with others) are stored in the "local" directory in the libedit project, so we will need to recreate them again: cd src echo 'my_local: $(BUILT_SOURCES)' >> Makefile # the "am__configure_deps=" prevents trying to autoreconf make my_local am__configure_deps= In this case, the files: vi.h emacs.h common.h fcns.h help.h fcns.c help.c tokenizern.c historyn.c are created. Two of these .c files were found in 3b) (tokenizern.c historyn.c). 6) From 4) and 5), the files from 3b) are accounted for. That leaves 2 .c files found in 4) (chartype.c wcsdup.c) that are new and build by default (which the Makefile confirms). 7) Copy the (unmodified) src directory to the src directory of the SVN copy. Add the new files found in 4): svn add chartype.c chartype.h eln.c wcsdup.c 8) Copy the files created in 5) to the local directory of the SVN copy, and add the new files: svn add tokenizern.c historyn.c 9) For completeness, copy libedit.pc (after running configure), to the local directory. 10) Go into Xcode and add the files from 4) to the libedit and libedit-static targets. When these files appear under the libedit group, move them into the Source folder (sorting alphabetically to be nice). 11) Add the new files from 5) to the libedit and libedit-static targets. When these files appear under the libedit group, move them into the local folder (sorting alphabetically to be nice). 12) Modify the "make lists" script to add the two new file creations (for historyn.c tokenizern.c). We also remove the "make list" build phase from each of the libedit and libedit-static targets, since we should not be modifying files (at build time) in SRCROOT. Besides, this would hide the fact that the files in the local directory are out of date from what actually gets built. 13) For the libedit target, change the "Current Library Version" from 2.11 to 3.0. Leave the "Compatibility Version" at 2. Change the "Product Name" from "edit.2" to "edit.3". 14) Under the all target, modify the "install misc" script. Replace: foreach l (libedit.2.11.dylib libedit.dylib libreadline.dylib) do ln -s libedit.2.dylib $DSTROOT/usr/lib/$l done with: foreach l (libedit.2.dylib libedit.3.0.dylib libedit.dylib libreadline.dylib) do ln -s libedit.3.dylib $DSTROOT/usr/lib/$l done 14) In the doc directory of the unpacked-and-configured copy, run: touch ../config.status echo 'my_man: $(EL_MANS)' >> Makefile make my_man am__configure_deps= Copy the two man pages (editline.3 editrc.5) to the doc subdirectory of the SVN copy. 15) Update the libedit.plist file (in the local directory), with the current information. 16) Add the tarball to SVN, so we have a copy of the original sources. 17) Because tokenizern.c and historyn.c are located in the local directory, and because they expect to include the tokenizer.c and history.c files, respectively, a new include directory needed to be added to Xcode (the "src" directory). The -fpascal-strings option was removed as extraneous. 18) Build libedit and if testing finds bugs, fix the code, and update/create the corresponding patch file.

My favourite part of the story is when she dresses up as a sleeping princess and takes a nap. My favourite costume is when she dresses up as a circus acrobat because she has pretty hair. I like the pictures in this book because they are cute and colourful.
I think boys and girls who like dressing up would enjoy this book because it's fun.

Intelligent Transport Systems and Services: initiative for accelerated deployment across Europe
The European Commission today took a major step towards the deployment and use of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in road transport. ITS can significantly contribute to a cleaner, safer and more efficient transport system. The action plan adopted today suggests a set of concrete measures and a Directive laying down the framework for their implementation.
"Making transport greener, reducing congestion and saving lifes on Europe's roads are high priorities for the Commission. Intelligent Transport Systems will help us make progress towards achieving these goals. Today's initiative will therefore foster a more efficient, safer and more sustainable mobility in Europe", said Antonio Tajani, Commission Vice-President responsible for transport.
"The Intelligent Transport System Action Plan proposed by the Commission today will provide much needed policy instruments to complement the work that the Intelligent Car initiative and the eSafety forum have been doing to make cars safer, cleaner and smarter," said Viviane Reding, EU Commissioner for Information Society and Media. "We are determined to drive Europe towards cleaner, safer and less congested road transport, and the early roll-out of life saving breakthroughs like ESC and eCall."
Intelligent Transport Systems apply information and communication technologies to various modes of transport, which can make European road users safer and less likely to get stuck in traffic, which in the long run can reduce their carbon footprint. The action plan, launched today as part of the Greening Transport[1] initiative, aims to accelerate the deployment of these systems in road transport, and their interfaces with other modes of transport.
From commuters to hauliers, everybody needs reliable, real-time traffic information for better routing planning and to avoid delays caused by traffic jams. Multi-modal travel planners will allow seamless travel in and between cities and towns and across borders. Relatively small investments in Intelligent Transport Systems can allow better use of existing infrastructure. The action plan proposes strong European coordination of ITS and services in various Member States to accelerate the deployment of these systems across Europe.
Intelligent Transport Systems can substantially reduce road sector CO2 emissions. The costs of traffic congestion – estimated at 1% of the European GDP – could be reduced by up to 10% through the deployment of ITS, and could prevent more than 5000 deaths in road accidents.
For more information, please see:

LISBON, Portugal -- Dakar Rally organizers have insisted that the event will be back in 2009, after it was called off this weekend because of terrorist threats.
Eally director Lavigne has promised "a great event in 2009."
"There will be a great event in 2009. We will start work on it from tomorrow. It could be another Dakar. It's a little complicated to imagine straightaway what will be The Dakar next year but we will work on it very quickly," said Etienne Lavigne, the rally director.
The 2008 Rally should have started in Lisbon on Saturday but the murder of four French tourists in Mauritania on December 24 led to the French government advising against any travel to the country.
Eight of the rally's stages were due to pass through the northern African country en route south for Dakar and the scheduled finish on January 20.
It was the first time the rally had been scrapped since its creation in 1979.
Portuguese officials were dismayed by the decision, which they estimate could cost them 15 million euros in lost revenue.
Joao Lagos, the head of the Portuguese organizing committee, insisted that they should have stood up to the terrorist threats.
"There are those who argue that the best method of thwarting, fighting terrorism is to stand up to it ... I totally agree," Lagos told the daily Diario de Noticias.
"Would similar threats have lead to the cancellation of the Olympic Games or the World Cup?" he asked.
Apart from the deaths of the four French tourists there have been concerns that an Al-Qaeda group is active in northern Africa and could target the high-profile race.
The Mauritanian government said the shooting of the French tourists and a separate attack on a military base that left three soldiers dead were isolated incidents and that claims of an Al-Qaeda plot had yet to be substantiated.
Niger, Algeria as well as the north of Mali had already been removed from the race calendar because of security risks.
The organizers are expected to devise a route which does not involve crossing deep into Saharan Africa.
"We are working on the hypotheses with sand and without sand," said Patrice Clerc, the director of the Amaury Sport Organization (ASO) which oversees the race.
Jean-Louis Schlesser, the winner in 1999 and 2000, believes that a new route might save the event.
In 2003, the Dakar started in Marseille and ended in the Egyptian resort of Sharm el Sheikh.

BBC review
The Lappetites was spawned from an evening Kaffe Matthews curated at Tonic, New York, April 2001 where o-blaat, Ikue Mori, Zeena Parkins, Marina Rosenfeld and herself played a 45 minute set. Matthews: "All electronics players, not only did we have this ridiculously new situation of improvising with a bunch of just girls, but the potential that evening inspired made it obvious that this format could be the start of this live electronics band idea. And so The Lappetites came into being." With other commitments, distance, travel costs and schedules, it was soon realised, that The Lappetites would be a forum within which to explore these ways of playing, and that members would come and go over time.

Greece Ready for 100G Internet
One of the most interesting aspects of the Cisco Visual Networking Index is how the explosion of Internet traffic is taking place everywhere. We've talked before about how countries such as Iceland and Bermuda are leveraging high speed connections to the world to grow their economies. This time let's look at Greece and competitive carrier hellas online (hol) on how they are preparing for the zettabyte era. (A zettabyte is 1021 bytes, in case you had forgotten).
Hol is one of the largest fixed-line telecommunications services providers in Greece offering a range of retail, business and wholesale services, and they also own the most extensive core backbone network in Greece. Their fiber optical network stretches over 4166 km nationwide and recently they've started offering an on-demand interactive video service called "hol video club" that has really taken off. Despite the challenges of the European economic situation, hol is continuing to see not just increases in bandwidth demand but also gains in the number of subscribers. Most recently they've seen increasing growth in cloud-based services as well.
Hol is also one of the most recent carriers to put Cisco's 100G coherent optical solution through its paces. For hol, 100G offers a solution to meet their need for as-needed, cost-effective bandwidth growth without the need to replace any fiber infrastructure. This is a common situation – carriers are finding the 10G links are no longer sufficient; yet running multiple 10Gs in parallel is not optimal. The challenge has been finding a solution which simply enables "plug in play" upgrades to 100G. This was one of the key objectives of the Cisco engineering team who developed the 100G DWDM solution. To make 100G widely deployable and commercially successful, it needed to have similar performance and engineering specifications as previously deployed 10G links.
Hol's successful trial of the dense wavelength division multiplexing solution was run between two locations in the Greek capital of using the Cisco ONS 15454 Multiservice Transport Platform (MSTP) system. The test involved 100G single carrier optical interfaces connected to hol's existing 10G optical infrastructure. Although we'd lab tested the solution to greater distances with the European Advanced Network Test Center(EANTC), what really counts is when it works in a real-world environment. This evaluation proved that hol can use its existing fiber infrastructure network while supporting new 100G services and ensuring that there will be no data bottleneck hampering the growth of services in Greece
Orestis Karadimitriou, Senior Manager, Network Engineering, hellas online, said:
"Successful 100 Gigabit trials are essential for hellas online to meet the challenges resulting from growing traffic and to ensure operational excellence for the end user. Achieving today a 100 Gigabit link on our transport network (based on the Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP) is a testament that our technology choices leveraging the data opportunity and secure that hellas online will continue delivering innovative products of the highest quality in Greece."

this sounds intereating to me…anybody can explain further on the trials and technology pls….
Got to figure that part of the benefit is not having to dig fiber in an area where everything is an archaeological site. Remember reading about how hard it was to build the Metropolitana in Rome, that they'd hit something interesting every time they dug. Assume that Athens is the similar.

Living in a historical town ten miles from modern day brothels, and ten miles from Virginia City, Nevada, it is not uncommon to see our local "ladies" out shopping and either being driven in a limosine or driving a very expensive Mercedes Benz, and possibly living in a million dollar house somewhere close by. However it was not that lucrative to be a "girl" in Virginia city during the Gold and Silver Rushes of the 1800's. One was the famous was Julia Bulette who was a prostitute that was loved by the locals. Her dead body was found lying on her left side with her feet halfway off the bed. Sometime during the night she had been shot, strangled beaten and suffocated. It was written in the local paper that it was an "outrageous and cruel act". Several months after her funeral, John Millian was arrested. He was a French drifter. He claimed he did not murder her but knew that it was going to happen. It was hard to find a jury because he was so hated by the town folk. The officials could not find any men that were not unbiased and women were not allowed to vote. They eventually found a jury. He was tried, convicted and condemned to die by hanging. At dawn, April 27, 1868, John Millian was hanged and met his fate. Everyone wanted to catch a glimpse of a murderer, so folks came by stagecoach, horseback and on foot from the nearby towns. All the saloons were closed for the second time, the first when they had Julia's funeral. Forty deputies and the National Guard escorted the carriage carrying Milligan and Father Manogue, Priest of St. Mary's Catholic Church. Then there was the doctor's vehicle which followed the prisoner. then came the news media and a coffin draped in black accompanied by the undertaker and his assistants. Seveal thousand people were gathered and watching the gallows. The prisoner spoke a few words of french because he said he did not know enough english to defend himself. He kissed the priest, mounted the scaffold, and within two minutes he was declared dead. Julia's murder was avenged, and then the crowd returned to V.C to open the saloons and celebrate. Julia was never referred to as a woman of easy virtue. The people finally accepted the goodness in her, despite her profession. From "Women of the Sierra". The tombstone was moved at one point and so therefore no one knows exactly where she is buried now. They moved the fence and tombstone in the 1950"s because it was a tourist attraction. She was buried in the local cemetery., called the Flowery Cemetery. You will also notice she has a firemans hat next to her and is attired in a fireman's shield-front shirt. Belt and helmet are embossed with the ensignia of Virginia engine Company No. 1 of which she was their honorary member. As an addendum to this story after speaking to a local at a bookstore in Virginia City, there is a book being published with proof that John did not commit this murder. It is stated that it could have been a local fireman.

Experiment with video on your Arduino!
How does it work?The Video Experimenter uses an LM1881 video sync separator to detect the timing of the vertical and horizontal sync in a composite video signal. An enhanced version of the Arduino TVout library (available below) uses this sync timing information to overlay content onto the video signal. The ATmega328 microcontroller on the Arduino includes an analog comparator that can be used to detect the brightness of the video signal at any given point in time. Using this brightness information, low-res monochrome image capture into the TVout frame buffer is possible. The ability to capture image information in memory lets you implement simple computer vision experiments. It's important to note that this shield will not work on the Arduino Mega. Read this for more information (it's not my fault!). The Video Experimenter will work on the Seeeduino Mega with some jumper wires. Read this for more information.
Board Features
Enhanced TVout LibraryThe Video Experimenter requires using an enhanced version of the Arduino TVout library. The enhancements allow the capture of video signal information in the TVout frame buffer so that primitive frame capture can be accomplished. The enhancements also facilitate the retrieval of embedded data streams from broadcasts. Installation: The enhanced version of TVout has 3 folders to install in your Arduino libraries folder. The structure should look like this:
libraries | + TVout + TVoutfonts + pollserialAPI summary: capture() : captures a monochrome video frame in the frame buffer's memory. Stops display of frame after capture to allow processing of the data if required (for example in computer vision projects).
resume() : resumes display of the TVout frame buffer after performing a capture.
setDataCapture(int line, int dataCaptureStart, char *databuf) : set the line and pixel start for data capture into the provided array databuf
Arduino sketches that use the enhanced TVout library with the Video Experimenter shield also must perform some initialization of the ATmega registers. In the project examples you will find methods like initOverlay() and initInputProcessing() to enable certain features of the chip. All Video Experimenter projects also have an interrupt service routine (ISR) for the input capture on pin 2. This is required in your program and the examples demonstrate this.

Hello, friends!
After two weeks in Haiti, the team will return to the States next week. As you prepare to receive them, here are some things I hope you'll think about to help the team make the most of this trip.
For those of you meeting students at the airport, here's flight information:
Emily returns to San Francisco on July 21 at 11:30 PM on American Airlines #2004
Annie and Maddy return to Seattle on July 22 at 12:15 AM on American #563 (That's just after Midnight on July 21)
As the group returns, they'll continue to think through this experience and its implications for their lives. It's likely that this mental processing will involve at least some of these elements:
Relief upon returning to familiar surroundings,
Frustration with aspects of home culture that appear less desirable than the cultural values experienced during the SPRINT experience,
Sadness and joy over relationships and memories developed during the trip,
And hopefully, Resolve to incorporate the learning from this trip into daily life as life moves on.
It's our hope that SPRINT participants will return to "life as usual" with expanded worldviews and a clearer sense of God's work in their lives. The learning process continues after the trip experience; students will participate in a debriefing gathering in October, and will be encouraged to continue meeting with their SPRINT team to share the story of their host's work and encourage future generations of SPRINT participants to serve.
I encourage you to give your student time to catch up on sleep, then set aside an extended period of time to share pictures and stories. Don't expect completely-formed opinions immediately; the reflection process takes time. We remind returning SPRINTers that not everyone will have time to hear the whole story, but that they should find a few people with whom to share the longer, more in-depth account.
I've mailed team members some discussion questions and a copy of the Global Citizen Journal, published by the Krista Foundation for Global Citizenship (www.kristafoundation.org), to help them think through their experience as they move forward. If you've got time, I'd encourage you to talk though some of these materials with your student.
Thanks for your support of students on this team! Please let me know if you have questions.

PICKUP AT San Diego Comic Con 2017 Only at toddland #4429, next to 20th Century Fox
All SDCC items MUST be picked up at San Diego Comic Con 7/19-23. Due to licensing, these items cannot ship, and must be picked up. Any items not picked up will not be refunded (as per most vendors standard pre-order convention/event policy) Someone can pick up for you, but they need to know your order number and their name needs to be listed in the notes section of your order. Again, SDCC items do not ship. If there are any "leftovers" they may be placed online at a later date.
Again,SDCC items are pickup at toddland #4429 ONLY. They will not ship and there are no refunds.
Our sorta famous $5 "LOOK I BOUGHT YOU SOMETHING" 5x7 notepad. We sell hundreds of these every show. We have a few left from NYCC and they have Gayle, and animal anus' (plural for anus? anyone? eh, whatever) on them.
PICKUP AT SDCC ONLY at toddland #4429, next to 20th Century Fox
shipping? yeah, we do that. basically after you enter your information at checkout you can pick shipping rates. they are generated directly through ups and usps and automated in our system. so if they looks expensive, blame Obama. (somebody told us that, we didn't know he even worked at the post office, HOW DOES HE FIND THE TIME!!? but somebody told us to do that, so... cannonball). anyway, you are the "choose your own adventure" decider of your shipping rates, and we don't make any money off that, so don't get mad at us when you choose the "$485 hand delivered by virgin handmaidens riding razor scooters down the alps" option. hey, you picked it. we would have just went with regular old first class mail option. If you email us, for $1,000 todd will probably personally deliver, let you stroke his beard, and cook you waffles. He has free time.

Just last week, Ke$ha premiered the video for her new single, "Die Young," in which the adventurously attired electro-pop star appears to form a cult devoted to black-leather vests and bearskin rugs.
But the pre-release publicity beast is one that must continually be fed, so Wednesday morning brought news that next month, Ke$ha would accompany her upcoming sophomore disc, "Warrior," with a so-called acoustic EP called "Deconstructed." Both are due Dec. 4, the latter exclusively through the singer's website.
Along with a stripped-down version of "Die Young" and another "Warrior" selection, the five-track set is to include new renditions of "Blow" and "The Harold Song," both from Ke$ha's 2010 "Cannibal" EP, as well as a cover of "Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle to You." Dolly Parton had a No. 1 country hit in 1980 with the last tune, which was cowritten by Ke$ha's mom, Pebe Sebert.
Listen to the fresh take on "Die Young" below and ponder the shifting definition of the word "acoustic." And stay tuned to Pop & Hiss in the coming weeks for a full profile of Ke$ha that will appear in Calendar.

Parents we have a problem! The state of the public school system has gone from bad to worse in recent months. The most recent incident of a student bringing a gun to school happened in the New York School System where three teens were busted for bringing loaded guns to school (source: New York Daily News ).
Parents send their children to school to get an education, not become gang bangers or gun toting thugs. As a parent, you need to question why guns and gangs run rampant in the Public School System. Who's to blame for this major problem with our schools?
Do parents blame the teachers or principals who cannot control the out of control student? Do you blame organizations such as the Southern Poverty Law Center who sued Birmingham Schools in December 2010 for using mace on hundreds of students? According to Ebony Glenn Howard, lead attorney on the case for the Center, "We must ask ourselves, what kind of school system allows armed officers to come in and use mace on its children?" (Source: AL.com) No Ms. Howard, we must ask ourselves why so many students are out of control.
Christian parents have enough to think about with their child being segregated into a secular school system without having to worry about guns and gangs. The problem went beyond control once God was taken out of the Public School System. A lot of parent's don't have the option of home schooling or sending their child to private school because the cost is too expensive. Some private schools charge as much as a two year college.
What are concerned parents supposed to do about this growing problem? Parent's need to make the teachers, principals, and administrators accountable, demand action and attend meetings to voice their concerns.
God needs to be back in the Public School System. Without Him, guns and gangs will become the education your children receive.

Ryan Dosier - Today on The Muppet Mindset we get an insider's look at the new documentary, Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey all about Kevin Clash. Our friend Chase Beecher was kind enough to stop by and give us some of the details about seeing the film, meeting Elmo and Kevin, and talking with some of the Being Elmo production team. It's a great, insightful look into this film. So, without further ado, here's Chase Beecher!
RYAN: First of all, Chase, welcome to The Muppet Mindset. Can I get you anything?
CHASE: No. Thanks for having me! I am good. Well, this couch sure is lumpy. Let me nestle in. That is better. Oh dear, a spring. Springs. Plural. Is this Pepsi in this mug? Blech. You can get me some fresh water, Ryan…
RYAN: Thanks so much for agreeing to talk to us a bit about your experience at this year's Sundance Film Festival. Can you talk to us about your Sundance experience as a whole?
CHASE: Being a resident here in Salt Lake City, UT, I hate to say this, but this is my first time really checking out the "world famous" Sundance film fest. Oh yeah, the residents here love to go stargaze and party and whatever, and I have never really gone. Never seen films up there. For some reason I thought they were all sad movies about tin cans, or little cats who wanted to dress up in their mother's socks. It's not like that at all! (Well, maybe a few films about kitties and socks.) There are some great films here with good, quality actors. It has a great independent spirit, of you can do anything you want if you put your mind to it. It's great. Around Thanksgiving,when it was announced that this project was going to be here I knew I had to go. I just had to. I was not going to let something like this get this close to home without me getting in on the action. It's Kevin Clash and Elmo for cryin' out loud! It also opened up Sundance to me, too. I will not miss it again. It sure is cold, though. I will wear a warmer coat next year. Maybe two coats. And Mittens.
RYAN: You got to see Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey while at the festival—something tons of Muppet fans should be jealous of. Tell us about this new Kevin Clash documentary.
CHASE: I feel like "The Golden Boy!" Muppet fans should be jealous, and if they are not, they are going to be after I tell you about this wonderful film. It tells the wonderful story of a young Kevin Clash and how he got to be where he is now--a brilliant performer, producer, director, and charitable guy. The filmmakers followed Kevin around for six years, so there is a lot in this 85 minutes! It starts by telling us about a young Kevin, who becomes passionate about puppetry and sticks with it, and chronicles his journey along the way. It shows us Kermit Love mentoring a young Kevin in archival footage and tells us his journey through meeting Jim Henson and working on Labyrinth, and finally stumbling across a little furry red monster named Elmo, after Richard Hunt didn't know what to do with him. The film shows us home movies with his family (Elmo on the way to the hospital on the day Kevin's daughter was born was priceless) and also takes us to France, where Kevin is training performers on the French version of "Sesame." The film ends with Kevin calling up a young boy, inviting him up to Sesame Workshop to learn the ways of a Muppet performer. Kevin is passing it on. It was perfectly bookended.
RYAN: What were some of your favorite parts of the documentary?
CHASE: Wow. This is going to be tough to narrow down. Can you give me a second to think? (15 min later) Okay Okay, I got a few. I think just the pure and simple fact that there is a documentary about a Muppeteer out there is fantastic. They are notoriously shy, quiet folk, so this is huge. I loved the few "Sesame" bloopers they had. Elmo yelling "You wanna piece a' me?" to everyone and then biting a talking piece of cheese is brilliant. Way better than the Katy Perry blooper. Kevin telling his story about meeting Jim Henson after a Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. He was introduced by Kermit Love, and then was not allowed to get a word in edge-wise by Kermit! It is a very funny story. We then get to see Kevin's audition tape for the Henson Company, which is priceless. A few of the Muppeteers are interviewed, Fran Brill, Bill Barretta, Marty Robinson, and Frank Oz. Frank gives Kevin one of the best compliments, I think anyone working in the Muppet company can receive. He says that Kevin is a one of a kind performer, and that he is now part of the brotherhood and sisterhood of the performers. Can it get better than that? I am sure I have more favorite parts, but I don't want to give away the whole movie, and bore the audience!
RYAN: Amazingly, you got to meet Elmo and Kevin Clash in person. Did you get to talk to Kevin at all? What was it like to meet him?
CHASE: I did get to meet Kevin very briefly. He is a very large man! I am 6'4 and it takes a lot to make me feel small. I accidentally stepped on his foot, which I felt terrible about. He was so mobbed he didn't notice. Elmo and Kevin are real rockstars! It was surreal to even see them let alone met them. Seeing your first real Muppet is... well, they haven't made words for it yet. Well, Muppetational. That's the word. Elmo was on my shoulder! I did get to talk to Kevin just for a second. The film was real emotional for him. I can tell you this. Clifford WILL be in the new Muppet movie. That is all I can say. I really don't want him to beat me up. That dude is built!
RYAN: You got a great picture with Elmo as well. How much fun was it to get to stand alongside Elmo and feel like a five year old?
RYAN: Did you have any other Elmo experiences at Sundance while you were there? Did you attend any of the Q&A sessions with Kevin and Elmo?
RYAN: Elmo got to live his dream and go skiing, did you?
RYAN: Based on what you saw at Sundance, what do you think the chances are of seeing Being Elmo released on DVD for the masses?
beingelmo.com. Thanks for having me Ryan! Can you help me out of this couch? It has sunk to the ground. You can check out all my videos at youtube.com/chasebeechershow and follow me at twitter.com/chasebeecher, chasebeechershow.blogspot.com or find me on Facebook! now, can I have money for a cab? (here is the link: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Chase-Beecher/278362726924)
Special thanks to our friend Chase Beecher for this great chat about a great film!

Great article and interview! Why thank you!ReplyDelete
i saw this documentary today and i loved it! i cried several times! his story is so inspirational! i love him!ReplyDelete
Hey, Chase, if you're out there, I've just been hearing that Clifford may have been cut from the new movie.ReplyDelete
If that's the case, can you please tell us what his scene would've been like and if he was going to talk?
Or is he just in the background and silent?

Nitrogen oxides, or NOx, is the generic term for a group of highly reactive gases, all of which contain nitrogen and oxygen in varying amounts. Many of the nitrogen oxides are colorless and odorless. However, one common pollutant, nitrogen dioxide (NO2) along with particles in the air can often be seen as a reddish-brown layer over many urban areas. Nitrogen oxides form when fuel is burned at high temperatures, as in a combustion process. The primary manmade sources of NOx are motor vehicles, electric utilities, and other industrial, commercial, and residential sources that burn fuels. NOx can also be formed naturally.
Nitrogen oxides are indirect greenhouse gases. They have been the target of environmental policies for their role in forming ozone (O3), as well for their direct acidification effects. Fuel combustion activities are the most significant anthropogenic source of NOx. Within fuel combustion, the most important sources are the energy industries and mobile sources.

Police Beat - Dec. 26, 2011
- Written by Compiled by Maggie Inahara from City of Woodinville Police Reports
No Gas for YOU!
A man was finishing up pumping gas at a Kingsgate grocery/gas station, when another potential pumper pulled up in front of his vehicle, nose to nose.
When he had finished, he asked the female driver of the other car to back up a bit so that he could leave.
She refused, stating that he had parked on the "wrong" side of the pump, since his gas tank was on the far side.
Several more attempts at reasoning with her were met with the statement: "I'll stay here all night if I have to."
The man gave up, informed the station attendant and left on foot to continue shopping at the grocery store and pharmacy.
When he returned approximately 20 minutes later, the female driver had not budged.
At this point, he noticed that there was a baby in the back seat who had been sitting in the cold car the entire time.
He decided to back out of the spot for the sake of the baby, and left.
Police arrived, and by this time the female driver had pulled in front of another pump and still refused to leave.
She informed police that she was waiting for the man to return so that he could be issued a citation for illegal parking.
She advised the officer: "I'll stay here all night if I have to."
The officer gave her the option of leaving right then or being arrested and having her car impounded.
Reason finally prevailed, and our parking Nazi left with the baby on board.
It is unknown if her original mission of filling her gas tank was accomplished.
Auto Come Home
There are few worse ways to ring out the old year than having your car stolen.
Our hapless roisterer had parked his car in an apartment parking lot in the 17100 block of 131st Avenue NE only to find it had gone missing overnight. Here's hoping that the New Year brings suitable vehicular restoration for the injured party and righteous wretchedness to the evildoer.
Cover Up Caper
Cat owners out there are familiar with feline litter box routines, whereby the digestive byproducts are first inspected, then discreetly covered up.
A suspected cat burglar in the 12700 block of NE 178th must have forgotten where he left his specimen, as he was seen peering into various vehicles in the parking lot with a flashlight.
His explanation to a witness that he had been urinating backs this theory up.
Unable to locate his excretion and facing further questioning from the witness, our crafty tomcat decided to scat.
No Rest for the Wicked
You would think that burglars might give their craft a breather during the height of the holidays, but in a quest for that last perfect gift, a thief broke out the glass of a back door in the 19400 block of 132nd Ave NE and made off with an iPad and jewelry. Here's hoping those burgling ways go auld lang syne in the New Year.

How to Smoke DMTTuesday, December 27th, 2011
When I've first learned and taken interest in a drug, I always immediately begin research on how to most effectively administer it. It sucks going back later and finding out a large portion of valuable drugs went to waste. However, when I came across DMT (by making it myself), I could not manage to find a concrete source on how to use it. Some people suggested tossing it on a bowl of weed, a few claimed the trick was hitting with a torch lighter, others suggested making a crude device called "The Machine," or using a lightbulb vape/crackpipe to similar effect. I was even directed towards buying expensive bong attachments – or specially crafted, highly priced pieces – and vaporizers.
Believe me when I say I've tried every damn one of these suggestions. Now, with hundreds of dollars worth of DMT wasted, I know how to do it: vaporization.

I've been thinking - it seems like sometimes talk page discussions get forgotten or lost in the mix, given how active things are and how sometimes it can take a while to figure things out. The Muppet Wiki has a template where when you start a discussion, you add a tag saying that it's active and it gets added to a category and an area with a listing. Perhaps we should try something like that here? ProfessorTofty (talk) 23:36, November 9, 2012 (UTC)

SOUTH PORTLAND — Ten percent ethanol-based fuel has been harsh enough on some boats in Maine, but the 15 percent ethanol-based fuel approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in June could be "disastrous" to boat owners when it enters the market, a local marina owner said Thursday.
Other representatives of Maine marinas agreed.
Daniel Lilley, owner of Sunset Marina in South Portland, said he has seen numerous boats experience problems with 10 percent ethanol-based fuel, so he's worried about what will happen when the 15 percent solvent is introduced. In some boats, ethanol-based fuel can cause thousands of dollars in damage to engines, carburetors, fuel tanks and other parts, the marina owner said.
"It's a Catch-22. [Ethanol-based fuel] is more environmentally friendly but it creates the need for more repairs," Lilley said. That, he noted, can then lead to increased emissions from repair trucks that need to be on the road more often.
The marina owner said "thousands of dollars are being spent" to address ethanol-based fuel-related problems with boats. The issues range from engine corrosion to complete engine failure, Lilley said, and they're not just limited to boats.
"It includes anything with a smaller combustion engine," the marina owner said.
Other marina workers echoed Lilley's concerns, including Jim Petersen and Steve York of Port Harbor Marine, which has several locations in Maine.
"The problems are vast and widespread," said York, a boat sales representative at Port Harbor's Holden location.
Before oil companies were required by the U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005 to mix ethanol with gasoline, York said his company had to clean and dismantle only six to 12 boat carburetors a year. But after President George W. Bush signed the bill into law, York said the number increased to 150 a year on average.
"It's very frustrating," he said.
York and Petersen said moisture absorption in the fuel tank is one of the main issues boats face when using ethanol-based fuel. This happens because hydrogen bonds cause ethanol to attract water from the air. And once enough moisture collects inside the tank, the two said the engine can shut down.
"When you start to have issues with the moisture, it can leave you stranded" in the middle of the ocean, said Petersen, director of service at Port Harbor's South Portland location.
In order to educate boat owners about the dangers of using E15, the National Marine Manufacturers Association is distributing 100,000 E15 warning labels to its member boat manufacturers to place on their boats. The hope is that boat owners will take notice and avoid using the higher percentage ethanol-based fuel by mistake, according to a press release issued Tuesday.
"If it's at the same pump as E10, people have the risk of putting E15 into their boats," said Lauren Dunn, a spokeswoman for the marine group.
The National Marine Manufacturers Association opposes the introduction of E15 fuel into the marketplace, according to the press release, but Dunn said its main concern is to educate people about misfueling.
A representative from EPA was not immediately available for comment, but according to its website, retail gas stations will be required to have a warning label over any E15 pumps to inform people about what vehicles can and cannot accept the new fuel.

Richie, Thomas and I took a trip from Milarrochay Bay to the tiny island of Eilean Darroch this morning. Eilean Darroch is at the tip of Inchfad which is an inhabited island with a farm on it. The inhabitants of Inchfad regard it as a PRIVATE!! island and visitors are not encouraged.
I was absolutely shocked therefore when one of our party paddled ashore and relieved himself on the island.
There is a legend that Eilean Darroch once hosted an illicit still.
Today its just a wee island with plenty trees and wild flowers as well as some oyster catchers, sandpipers and other birds.
It was pretty choppy today and whilst we had enjoyed the benefit of that on the way out, on the way back it was a different story!
And just in case you haven't noticed a shot of Ben Lomond here for a while…..

From our plants to our partnerships, we strive to do all we can to enhance our sustainability performance and results. This includes ambitious goals for reducing water and energy use.
Ecolab Egypt
New Cairo, 5th Settlement, South 90th Street,
Building No. 67 – First floor Postal Code 11835, Cairo, Egypt
Customer Service: (+)20 2 25 37 1195
In 2017, we helped our customers save more than 171 billion gallons of water. By 2030, we aim to conserve 300 billion gallons of water annually by reducing water consumption within our own and our customers' operations. This equals the annual drinking water needs of more than 1 billion people.
In our own operations in 2017, water withdrawal reduction was flat and the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions was 4.3 percent, as compared to a 2015 baseline.* By 2020 we seek to reduce water withdrawal by 25 percent and greenhouse gas emissions by 10 percent.
Also in 2017, we moved to our new Ecolab Global Headquarters in St. Paul, Minnesota. Through capital upgrades, electricity use was reduced by nearly 40 percent, or almost 3 million kWh, as compared to the annualized use during the period from 2012–2016. In addition, recycling and upcycling during the renovation greatly minimized construction waste, leading to the diversion of more than 700 tons of material from landfills, equivalent to the yearly waste of 1,600 people.
But that is not all that we are doing. With an outcome-based approach to product design, we are moving beyond compliance. And through our partnerships and our support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals we are working to ensure access to safe and clean water for everyone. It's all part of our effort to drive continuous improvement inside and out.

Ready For Another Longshot?
How good has PawSox reliever Robert Manuel been this season?
His ERA is better than Ubaldo Jimenez's.
While the Colorado Rockies ace is 12-1 with a 1.16 ERA, Manuel is 3-1 with a 1.08 ERA and is 7-for-7 in save opportunities.
(photo courtesy of Kelly O'Connor)
Manuel rarely tops 88 mph on the radar gun, but he has a 4-to-1 strikeout to walk ratio (28 K, 7 BB) and has not allowed an earned run in his last 12 outings (15.2 IP).
"I'm throwing strikes and changing speeds," Manuel told me. "Some guys throw 97, but I have good control and I've used that to my advantage. Every time I go out to the mound I force the hitter to swing the bat early, so I get a lot of quick outs and 'cheap outs' so to speak."
"He forces you to beat him," manager Torey Lovullo said. "He can put that 86 to 88 mph fastball on each edge of the plate and that's one thing we talk about in baseball – velocity and movement are outstanding, but you have to have command of your pitches. When you play catch with him, or go behind home plate and watch him, the ball takes off right around the hitting zone and there's something to be said for that."
"It's not anything that I try to manipulate – the ball just naturally moves," Manuel said. "I don't throw very hard, but I get that late movement. I didn't even know I had it until a couple of years ago when a couple of the guys were telling me that the ball moved the last 3 or 4 feet. With a wood bat, the sweet spot is only a couple of inches, so it's hard for hitters to square the ball up."
Robert Manuel's story is not quite as unlikely as Daniel Nava's, but like the current darling of Red Sox Nation, the 26-year-old pitcher has been proving doubters wrong throughout his professional career. Manuel did not pitch in high school, before getting an opportunity to take the mound at San Jacinto North College. He transferred to Sam Houston State, but wasn't drafted after leading the Bearkats in saves in 2005.
The Mets eventually signed Robert as a non-drafted free agent, and after being traded to Cincinnati, he made it to the major leagues last year on his 26th birthday. On July 9th, Manuel debuted by throwing 1.1 scoreless innings against the Phillies.
"Those guys were defending champions and they were no slouches by any means – they're like the Red Sox or the Yankees of the National League," Manuel told me. "So going through those guys proved to me that I belonged and that I can stick if given the chance. That was a major confidence booster even coming into this year, because I know that I can get big league hitters out."
He doesn't have a 100 mph sinker like Ubaldo Jimenez, but Manuel has not allowed a run in three major league appearances (4.1 IP). Still, does Robert ever wonder what it be like to throw 100 mph?
"Yea, I wonder what it would be like, but I'm happy with what I'm doing," Manuel said. "Not everybody is blessed with an arm like that, but people are blessed in different ways. I'm happy with what God gave me and with what I've been able to do. I wouldn't trade location or control for velocity any day of the week."

Gene Norman to WIAT CBS42 Birmingham
The Houston Chronicle is reporting that KHOU 11 chief meteorologist Gene Norman is gone. In fact the man is nowhere to be found on KHOU's website either. Crazy because we are still in November sweeps.
What Gene Norman is doing now
I really should have seen it coming since someone just posted a YouTube link of Gene Norman's resume reel on my post about the big KHOU 11 weather department schedule change from last August (WATCH IT BELOW).
Here is where things get really interesting. The Houston Chronicle makes it appear that weather change could be a reason for Norman leaving. Here is more from the Chron:
On the day the change was announced, a message was posted to Norman's Twitter account reading that "blondie moves to morning, morning moves to 4, 5. I am reduced" to 6 and 10. Later in the day, another message on the account read, "It appears my twitter account was hacked today be careful on social media," and the tweets regarding the assignment changes were removed. Norman did not return a telephone call seeking details about the reported Twitter hacking.
So yeah, "blondie" would be Chita Johnson.
Now for the untold story (turn on Inside Edition music). That Norman tweet was how the Houston Chronicle and I found out about the KHOU 11 weather department schedule change.
Here is how things went on a different path at that point. Call me weak, too nice or sympathetic, but I called KHOU, said I had the news of the weather changes, they confirmed and I posted without the inclusion of Norman's wild tweet. Why did I do this? I thought it might cause Norman a lot of grief with Belo. The TV business is already bad enough for everyone in it - I figured he didn't need a guy with a stupid free account on blogger posting this. And KHOU certainly did not need to have anyone else leave them at this point (they might want to bolt the doors from the outside over at the Allen Parkway studios).
The newspaper business is pretty rough too, but the Houston Chronicle also saw Norman's tweet and ran with it on August 13th. The whole message was reprinted in the paper. Surprisingly the news did not go viral like I expected. Now it just might.
The lesson for young journalists here is don't be nice or sympathetic like me. I was nice and did not get the scoop of Norman's departure. The Chronicle posted the tweet, got the scoop and now I am linking to them for the news.
By the way, the Houston Chronicle says David Paul will be filling in on the 6pm and 10pm. Other folks are available to fill-in too. There is always Dr. Neil Frank and former Fox 26 KRIV's Matt Lavine.
Norman came to Houston in January 2008 from WGCL in Atlanta. Before that he was the weekend meteorologist at KTRK 13. Where Norman's resume really starts to differ is the fact he worked at NASA developing weather monitoring software for the space shuttle and did not get a degree from Mississippi State University (got his bachelor's from MIT and a master's in meteorology from the University of Maryland). He got into TV while at NASA by driving to Beaumont on the weekends and doing weather there.
As for the man with his own weather number, he has some powerful family connections and knows how to network.
When I interned at KTRK in the 90s, I found Norman to be a nice guy, and remember, I was an intern so that's saying something.
Good luck Gene.

Sofia Vergara doesn't only make the hombres drool—let's be honest. Although I adore this Colombian bombshell, she's come across a lot of criticism about how she represents Latinas: that super caliente, overly sexy chica. It's not her fault, it's just that sometimes we (OK, myself to be exact) feel like we have to live up to this hot ass Latina stereotype and all have really strong, sexy accents. Burn.
But what struck me by surprise was this: Sofia says she loves being portrayed this way, because us Latinas, well, that's just "how we are."
Vergara told The Daily Express that she loves her role on screen and it comes natural to her, since it mimics the person she is in real life. "It's fantastic. I don't have to do any research like, 'How am I gonna play her?' No! I just learn my lines and that's it." The 40-year-old hot mami says it's true that Latinas are portrayed a certain way all over Hollywood, but it doesn't make a difference, because that's how we all really do act. "We [Latinas] don't see it as a bad thing that the world sees us like that because it's how we are," she added. She also claims doctors and dentists in Colombia are just as sexy as she is. I need to meet these medical professionals. I swear I'd never miss a dentist appointment again if my dentist was as hot as Sofia.
I love Sophie—let me just make that clear before I go on with my rant. What upsets me about this comment is that it is seriously untrue. I'm a Latina (Brazilian to be exact) who comes from a culture where we are all portrayed as promiscuous with big booties and bronze skin and we have to associated with dangerously gorge women like Alessandra Ambrosio or Adriana Lima. I happen to be pretty fair skinned with straight hair and a butt that won't exactly be comparable to JLo's or Kim K's. I find it offensive that Sofia thinks we all act the way she does on screen. I never act sexy. Sexy is pretty damn awkward for me, to be honest.
Sofia, you are undoubtedly hot as hell and maybe your roles come naturally to you because you're a perfect 10, but I wouldn't say all Latinas act that way. We are more than our looks and "curves." I'm upset that you grouped us into the one category the rest of the world throws us into. I know so many other Latinas and not one of them is anything compared to Gloria in Modern Family. Your accomplishments make me proud, but I only wish you would have said something better to represent Latinas, like how we are the fastest growing business owners—anything but the obvious assumption the whole universe makes. I wish your statement was true in some ways, though. Because I'd be pretty freaking satisfied with being as sexy as you are!

More evidence that Abatacept IS effective in treating R.A.October 7, 2009 at 3:15 pm | Posted in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | Leave a comment
Tags: Abatacept, anti-TNF, arthritis, biologic, Cochrane Review, inflamation, inflamed joints, intranasal, NICE, nostrils, pain, recombinant Human Cartilage glycoprotein-39, rhematoid arthritis
Current NICE guidelines say that Abatacept (one of the many biologics, anti-TNFs) should not be used in R.A. patients who have not responded to other biologics. Now a Cochrane Review (a review designed to help policy makers and healthcare workers make decisions on what is and isn't effective) says that Abatacept IS effective in R.A. treatment. NICE are already in the process of reviewing their current guidance, but a decision is not expected until June 2010. The review strongly recommends that for the moment Abatacept is not used WITH other biologics – but says nothing about use if other biologics have been tried and have failed, which suggests that perhaps NICE should be recommending it for those with rheumatoid arthritis who have failed on other anti-TNFs.
Like all anti-TNFs, how safe it is in the long term has not yet been established – because none of them have been around long enough, but the Cochrane review (by Dr. Lisa Maxwell in Ottawa) showed that patients given Abatacept were twice as likely to achieve a 50% improvement in symptoms such as pain and the number of tender and swollen joints.
In the meantime a study on intranasal administration of recombinant Human Cartilage glycoprotein-39 for treatment of R.A. has failed. Personally I don't fancy a regular treatment via my nostrils … although if I had moderate to severe R.A. I guess I'd try anything once! However it didn't show any improvement over placebo, so I dare say I will never need to try that one. Phew.

Ejection fraction is a measurement of the percentage of blood leaving your heart each time it contracts.
During each heartbeat pumping cycle, the heart contracts and relaxes. When your heart contracts, it ejects blood from the two pumping chambers (ventricles). When your heart relaxes, the ventricles refill with blood. No matter how forceful the contraction, it never is able to pump all of the blood out of a ventricle. The term "ejection fraction" refers to the percentage of blood that's pumped out of a filled ventricle with each heartbeat.
The left ventricle is the heart's main pumping chamber that pumps oxygenated blood through the ascending (upward) aorta to the rest of the body, so ejection fraction is usually measured only in the left ventricle (LV). An LV ejection fraction of 55 percent or higher is considered normal. An LV ejection fraction of 50 percent or lower is considered reduced. Experts vary in their opinions about an ejection fraction between 50 and 55 percent, and some would consider this a "borderline" range.
Keep in mind that ejection fraction is just one measure of heart function. Even with a normal ejection fraction, overall heart function may not be normal. Talk with your doctor if you have concerns about your heart.
The ejection fraction may decrease if:
Ejection fraction can be measured with imaging techniques, including:
