More York streets could get 20mph limit
12:10pm Sunday 6th May 2012 in News By Mark Stead , email@example.com
RESIDENTS and motorists are to be asked to give their views on introducing a 20mph speed limit on more streets in York.
A survey carried out in the South Bank area by City of York Council in 2010 showed most people supported the move, and the authority is now looking to expand the number of roads it would cover through a three-week consultation, which starts on May 25.
If approved, the 20mph limit would include streets east of Bishopthorpe Road, Clementhorpe and the Scarcroft and St Benedict's area, the stretch of Bishopthorpe Road north of the former Terry's factory site, Scarcroft Road, and the traffic island at the junction of Price's Lane and Nunnery Lane, including part of Bishopgate Street.
Under the proposals, the limit could be enforced in residential streets through signs to avoid the need for speed humps , although additional lines could be introduced on Bishopthorpe Road. Depending on support, the new limit would be implemented in the summer and used as a pilot for a city-wide 20mph scheme.
South Bank residents will receive information leaflets in the next few days and the consultation will also be available at www.york.gov.uk/20mph

On this huge plot you have a fantastic seaview. The plot lies directly in the nature and has a building permission.
The owner just finished the street, all stonework like walls and fixed electricity so that you can start to built your own nice villa.
The building permissiojn is 5% an the costs for a villa is approx. 500 € for one m²
About 15 km south of Ölüdeniz (and 30 km south of Fethiye), Faralya was known simply as the "village on the cliffs of the Butterfly Valley" until recently, when travellers start to take a deeper look to the village. The village itself is quite a pleasant sight to see, with its houses and gardens cascading towards the cliffs of the Valley.
Faralya is officially named Hisar Mahallesi (quarter) of Uzunyurt (a "village" actually made up of 4-5 seperate hamlets as these hamlets don't have enough population to make them officially declared to be villages), though just "Uzunyurt" almost always refer to Faralya. However, almost nobody but the officials use this name and the village is always referred to by its ancient name of Faralya whether it be by the minibus signs or travel agencies.

Sigillum Luciferi
If ever there was a CD cover that encapsulated the sounds within, its Cough's full length debut; black embossed visage of upside down crosses, pot leaves and pentagrams indicating an unholy marriage of stoner/sludge/doom and black metal.
With nods to EyeHateGod, Iron Monkey, Thou, Highgate, Negative Reaction and such, Richmond's Cough deliver six long tracks of feedback filled, screeching, sludgy metal filled with some dark lyrics delivered with harsh, pained screams.
Fans of the above mentioned band have probably already heard the band's My Kingdom EP, from which "288 Days of Sin" is culled, along with five new tracks, and those fans will probably acknowledge Cough as one of sludge metal's rising, caustic stars and rightly so. Vocalist Davis Cisco has a tortured shriek littered with a few clean groans here and there while the Sanford Parker (Minsk, Rwake, Nachtmystium, Yakuza, etc) production delivers distorted, sickly, oozing riffs that rumble and slough with a low grumble and sneering menace.
The six tracks are each, scab picking, paranoid displays of death knell hacks and open wound seepage with Cisco's occasional groans being the only real issue I have (i.e. "Killing Fields", "288 Days of Sin", "Shallow Grave") as I prefer the more grating screams that fit the music as the likes of "Hole in the Infinite", "Northern Plague" and painful crawl of closer "Lyssavirus", that suck you into a blackened, bluesy, sludgy abyss.
This isn't playful, munchies and giggles stoner sludge, but a coked out, pick at your skin, teeth fall out, rotten gum and puss filled sores styled sludge that belongs in the gutters of hell.

Skype 4.0 – it's all yours
For those of you who are regular readers of this blog, this should come as no surprise – the gold version of Skype 4.0 for Windows is now ready to download. It's an exciting day at Skype – and not just because we've also just passed the 16 million online user milestone – as it marks the final stage in a process which has lasted over two years, and incorporated feedback from tens of thousands users like you.
I'm going to keep this brief, as much of the story of 4.0 has been covered in Peter's previous posts, but even if you stop reading now, this is the bit to remember: the gold version of Skype 4.0 for Windows is now ready, so download it now and share it with your friends, family and colleagues.
At Skype, we feel that we're really having an impact on the world when people love to use Skype – chat, make voice and video calls, have group conversations and send files – and in 4.0 we've focused on making these features better than ever. To meet that goal, we've made a number of dramatic improvements to video calling, ease-of-use and call quality:
- Improved video calling – With the changes we've made, video calling in Skype 4.0 for Windows is the next best thing to being there. A new built-in bandwidth manager ensures that you have the very best video calling experience possible, even on a low bandwidth connection. If you have a fast enough connection (recommended 400 Kb/s or higher) and a high quality webcam, Skype delivers up to 30-frames-per-second High Quality Video at full screen.
- Calls and instant messages are easier to manage – video and voice calls, as well as instant messaging, are all easy to reach in a single window. The new Conversations tab makes it easy to hold multiple conversations at once, and to switch quickly between video and voice calls, instant messages and SMS. This is particularly beneficial for the power users among you.
- Call quality is substantially improved thanks to a number of under-the-hood changes. Calls sound richer and clearer than ever thanks to support for Super Wideband Audio with compatible hardware. The bandwidth manager should ensure that you have crystal clear calls even when bandwidth is low.
4.0 also sports a radically overhauled user interface – a slicker, cleaner look with less clutter and easier-to-find core features. We've also included Compact View, which retains the structure of the Skype 3.8 interface for those of you who prefer to work that way.
We've also improved the History and search features, and have added abuse reporting – if you choose to block a new contact request you'll now be given the option of reporting the blocked user to Skype. This information will be used to help us detect and block the tiny minority abusive users.
It represents a fundamental change in the way we've thought about the software development process, and is the most distinctive new release in Skype's five year history. We've examined every aspect of the software, both inside and out, and taken on board your feedback at every stage. I'm very proud of the work our engineers and designers have put in to this version, and I hope you enjoy the results of their efforts.

A big annoyance when chatting: often I copy & paste words/text from earlier pieces of the chat, and the auto quoting is infuriating. *perhaps* it might be useful when pasting an entire block of chat, but it jumps in even if I select a single word from the chat and try and embed it in a sentence.
You can disable quoting in the preferences. As it's currently implemented it's of no use having as an option (definitely shouldn't be default).

It it ain't broke don't fix it. Skype 4.0 broke the dial pad feature. Albeit you can dial a number – every input after the number is ignored. Try calling Continental airlines (or a million other phone prompted support linews) and try to enter your frequent fler number. Or for that matter enter a 1 for a new reservation – Nope it doesn't work anymore.
The new UI is cluttered and confusing. If Skype yearns to be a facebook or an iPhone then release these features as a new product or an add on. If Skype developers can't resist the temptation to create a solution in search of a problem – at least let the millions of 3.8 users have a "Classic Skype" look and feel selection in there "advanced" UI.
4.0 was not ready for prime time. Skpye needs some gray beards to ride heard on the "kids" doing the development and design.
Rule 1: If it ain't broke – don't fix it
Rule 2: Do not create a solution in search of a problem
Rule 3: Skype ain't Twitter, Facebook or an iPhonePROOF:
Note: The main dialpad is not functioning at the moment in the latest 4.0 version. We are aware that in some cases it is not possible to dial extension numbers using Skype. We are working to solve this issue.
Should you need more assistance, feel free to contact us again.
Best regards,

Yes, Skype is the best communication free software Pc to Pc. All my long distance calls are from PC to land phone no's, unlimited talks US and Canada cost $29/year. However, I am not happy with the latest version skype #4+ and have switched back to Skype 3+, luckily I had the earlier version still in my download file. The latest version calls are dropped, have to click 'view 'to get to contact or history. A display in Skype 3+ is simple, easy and fast, all I need to communicate. I am member of Skype for years and version 4 is worst rather than better.
assafile7771 said 5 years ago
I love Skype, but … I am absolutly sure that keeping the new interface will make Skype success deteriorate quickly. IT IS UNUSABLE.
This is my first ever product comment. The only reason I wrote it is to ask the Skype Product Management team not to dissmiss all the comments on this page. I recommend you quickly go back to the old interface so you can maintain your success and service.
Waiting too long will make people move to other tools.
dan.miller9080 said 5 years ago
Skype 4.0 does not recognize Outlook phone numbers. Like so many others, I will continue to use 3.8 until this dreadful problem is corrected. Clearly the developers of Skype have no idea how we are using skype out here in the RW.
kingschoirboy said 5 years ago
I foolishly clicked on the update notification, hey, you just assume it'll be a security update or a bit of improved look and feel, perhaps, even some extra functionality…
No, it is a completely new application. A huge dialogue appeared, taking up loads of space and I thought "here we go, programmers love to change things, like to make you do what they want, their way". After about an hour of trying to communicate with people (the whole point of Skype) I'd had enough.
Several people who I normally chat to resorted to video calling me (annoying when you don't need to do it) and wondered why I hadn't responded to their chat messages. Simple. The icon in the system tray had changed colour. Not much use if your taskbar is set to autohide.
I downgraded to 3.8 and when that is no longer supported, I'll probably stop using Skype altogether and move over to Google Talk.
johnrdougan said 5 years ago
Have been very happy on 3.8, installed 4.0 on a new machine and am going to take if off very quickly. Group chat management has lost features (kick, kick and ban, etc), I can't easily rejoin a chat I've left, etc. Once 3.8 is gone our project conferencing moves over to Gizmo or SIP or Jabber/Gtalk. 4.0 is plain unusable. We could live with a new interface, it it hadn't lost features in the "upgrade". That being said, I don't particularly like it either. It wastes a great deal of space….for example the list of users in a group IM is very space inefficient. I also have to use other teleconf servicee…and without the dial pad I can't…have started to use Gizmo for that. That's some of my money you're not getting…
jaymze_gazov said 5 years ago
You can revert back to Version 184.108.40.206 by going to the download page. Because 4.0 does not support accessibility options this previous version is offered as an alternative to the 4.0. Save the executable that you download in case Skype decides to "upgrade" you without your consent AND removes the link to the previous version. To Skype: The version 4 interface is a user turn-off. I was going to abandon Skype completely until I found the install for the 3.8 version…
mycspitta said 5 years ago
I hate the new interface. I hate having to flick back and forth between the contacts and comversation tab. It's ridiculous that the thing now bloats my entre desktop (and that compact mode has only half the funcionality. If someone messages me and I start chatting to them, the orange dot indicating a new messgage remains until I manually got to the stupid conversations tab and click on the event myself.
And numerous other things that make the interface SO much less intuitive. I wish I could give more detail on exectly what I mean, but I know my experience in using it always leaves me feeling frustrated… and I know so many of my other Skype friends also feel exactly the same.I've got v3 right here, ready to install, but I'm still weighing it up… If it wasn't for these mythical improvements in call quality I would have done it already. I'll just have to wait and see how ong I can't stand this inferface for…

QUOTE "@bettortrader we'll be reintroducing Send Contacts in a future version – keep your eyes peeled "
Thanks for the brief reply. May I ask then, what about my history only showing back 6mths since the upgrade and the all mysterious delays with group chats. I've been asking for an answer for 3yrs now.
We have clients who get the chats a week after they happen. We may have 150 people in the chats but even as low as 20 and still the same problem for some people.
I have emailed, I have sent smoke signals but no one ever seems to get back to me on that. Does anyone else have the same problem or does anyone else out there have an answer?
I understand that Skype uses technology similar to P2P programs. Does this mean some traffic could be blocked by AV, firewalls, the dreaded Nortons etc or even ISPs themselves?
I agree with rsktech_rask. Some of us are business users and the quality of service is extremely lacking. The amount of times I have sent emails not to have them responded to is unbleiveable.
With 20million plus users, I imagine it would be hard to respond to all emails of course but some of these problems have been around for years and there has been no change. I have not even been responded to regarding becoming an affiliate etc.
Even billing don't respond at times. One would think Skype is more than financially viable and capable in implementing a better system for responding to business and paid customers at least, especially when they are responsible for many of their users. Happy people always bring you more business.
Skype is in a great posistion to remain the industry leader and our favourite and 'sworn by' communication tool but watch out, someone may just see an opportunity here.

Listen… I've never commented in a Skype blog about Skype. Never. I have better things to do. However, I can no longer stay silent about this new Skype UI (4.0).
It wastes my screen real estate. It continues to nag me about missed calls even after I've viewed the event in the history list (or whatever it's called). How unintuitive. It is more complex than the previous UI which means I have to sit down and explain the whole thing to my wife as she ATTEMPTS to video conference with her family in Morocco. It's becoming hard for me to continue justifying this silly upgrade to her. She doesn't understand it and I'm feeling the same way.
When something isn't broken, perhaps it shouldn't be "fixed." Fine, you want to upgrade the video quality. That's great. Then do it. But there is NO WAY you can rationalize the other changes that have been made to what previously was a fine interface. Change this. Please. For the love of Christ.

godbehere said 5 years ago
I have been with Skype since day one. I have used it and converted friends to it and others. Lets be positive first. Its a great program and saves me heaps of $$. The new version 4 is a total sham. Poor interface. Cant see who is online etc etc. I have tried to persevere along with many friends. We have all decided to return to version 3.8 today.
Keep working on it.

briansentrio said 5 years ago
Ok – I think there's a general consensus on here that Skype 4.0 sucks, there's no need for me to repeat what everyone else has said.
Me, I've gone back to 3.8 because my Logitech USB Speakerphone doesn't work with 4.0 – and everyone else has their own pet reason – but the basic question to Skype is, ARE you working to fix all the bugs in 4.0 and make a 4.1, or are we wasting our time discussing this?
And more importantly, if you are, what is the planned release date for 4.1?
bloodhunter13 said 5 years ago
ok, maybe i'm a bit too late to comment, but whatever! i just installed skype 4 and that's when the whole confusion begins. i was using 3.8, my bf uses 4.0. we wanted to play some game together and he asked me where to access the menu. i told him step-by-step based on the 3.8 interface and he went "where is it? i can't find that thing" for like tens of times. and i went "oh, is that the vista version?" coz my skype check update says i have the latest version. i regret the decision of going to the website and downloading 4.0. yup. vista alright. glossy memory hogging program with pre-installed confusion. i've been with skype since 0.98 beta (with red logo, not sure of the x.xx.xxx.xxxx version number format) and 4.0 is the worst i've tried so far.
i can't effectively temporarily hide my video call (on tab) by switching the tabs or covering it with some other window while still typing at the same time. or just switch the webcam on and not typing (i surf the web and resize the browser to 75% of the screen).
i didn't know how to switch to multiple windows until just now i read one of the comments above. and that's more than halfway to the bottom of this page (i usually skip comments after i read a few, i could've simply missed that very helpful comment). you call the multiple windows "compact" and the one-window-for-all "default" when skype from the earliest beta to 3.8 had been implementing the multiple window format.
the file transfer box is gone and i was asked why i didn't accept the file transfer just because i missed that line (it got lost after some 20-30 lines of typing i had to scroll up to accept the file). and i can't see the progress. and i just found out by hovering the mouse over the file icon i can see the transfer speed and size of the transferred file. isn't that convenient?
i am bugged by the messages with the orange dot, and that's how i came across this page. the orange notification showed 20 messages with orange dot on the side right when i'm online and chatting! i replied to my bf's message and he replied back. all his messages was marked with the orange dot. and the BIGGEST problem is i had to scroll down everytime i wanted to type something because the idiot program kept on scrolling back to the first message with the orange dot (i answered to questions he didn't ask. to be more accurate: the questions he asked hours/days ago, probably will be asking again later. it's either i'm a psychic or i'm a psycho. or skype is just plain stupid). i clicked on the orange notification like some mouse-click addict to get rid of the notification but everything failed. had to scroll down for the latest message every single time. it's frustrating. until i accidentally right-clicked the name on the left tab and found 'mark as read'. huh? the whole frustrating session can be ended with a couple of clicks? (btw i hate the left tab. contact list has always been on the right side no matter what IM i'm using. i even have my googlemail chat on the right)
i'm not done exploring the new "improved" skype. i don't even know if i want to know more. the new skype is like vista of the microsoft os, and office 2007 of the ms office suite. like "look, now i can put glossy glass reflection effects on the pictures, but i don't know how to insert page breaks" kind of stuff. and for those who say "you can always learn the way around new stuff" sheesh… don't you guys ever have the situation where you have deadline to catch where you're in the middle of something important and time critical and you're stuck with "new and improved" upgrades that requires you to learn from scratch just to use the basics
maybe these skype people should put 'getting started' video and 'no thanks' checkbox so we users can skip the video once we're accustomed to the new interface.
oh… can you please add something the opposite of skypeme mode? i hate getting strangers sending me messages when i'm not even in skypeme mode (in previous version) and some people just don't understand 'do not disturb' even when i put the red sign on. please put something like 'exclude me from skypeme search' (when people in skype me mode searching for another user) and prompt me if the searcher is not in skypeme mode. i hate missing alerts when i'm in DND mode and i also hate the stupid 'hi' messages popping up when i'm in online mode (i never put mine in skypeme mode) but those people never understand
dcasciato said 5 years ago
Skype forced me to update to v4.0… this version is horrible. When I choose a contact imported from outlook a new separate window opens. When I choose to call a number a 3rd independent window opens… why do I need 3 windows when the old version just had one?
This will cause me to scale way back my use of Skype…

Question about a green vertical bar on incoming video.
I am using video calls with two friends, not very frequently but from time to time. Earlier I had no problem but now a broad green vertical bar is disturbing the incoming video. The vertical bar takes about 25% of the video screen and appears in the middle – about the same apperance as a test bar on old TV:s when setting new channels.
Has anyone out there experienced this problem? How can I solve this? Is the problem located to my computer or to the one I am talking to? The problem apperared some few months ago – could be at the time when I upgraded to the latest Skype release, but I am not sure.
I would appreciate a hint of what to do!

I am using Skype since last 3 years and never had any issues. But the day I have upgraded the Version 4.0, facing lot of issues. It is the worst Skype version. Did'nt expect such a bad upgrade (rather call downgrade) from skype.
I am going back to previous version.
alfredtchampion said 4 years ago
Skype 4.0? The version that COULD sink Skype and convince eBay to dump Skype which is a loser anyway!I have been a fanatical promoter of Skype since its inception and I lived with its early faults like address book happily. Skype 4.0 can only be described as a travesty. It is about as fast as Net2phone was in 1996! (And remember, AT&T paid a $1 billion for Net2phone and, they went under, not a good portent for poor old eBay who is still suffering Skype as a LOSER service) Version 4.0 is user unfriendly, unintuitive and the install actually took out my settings. Most of my friends have been unable to get video to work. The call quality using a 30meg FIOS connection and a brand new SONY laptop was dreadful, that is, for the few seconds before it dropped for the nth time! The vido expanded to a screen was so blocky it was worthless. Worthless unless one keeps the image at postage stamp size. Chat stuck on bottom of frame means one can not see prior conversation threads. Unless the developers who wrote Skype 4.0 fix it fast, many new users will find they are unable to use it and go back to AIM or Yahoo or something new! WAKE UP Skype developers! Fix this FAST or you may have sunk the best communicator there ever was! Maybe you are a new bunch hired by eBay and NOT the real Skype guys of old? I am seriously mad at you! Give me back my Skype that WORKED! Skype 4.0 is almost useless.

Please please please bring back all the Public Chat features of Skype 3 into Skype 4.0
Many gaming communities, clans, alliances etc rely on this feature and doing so has lead to me using it more in our business environment.
We did not use skype before using it in gaming, and now we're buying skype credits..

I agree. Bring back the Call Rates! Why drop them? Well I'll tell you one personal experience. I got a phone number and rang it, little did I know it was a UK mobile number – I assumed it was a UK landline. So I talk away and spend 10times the cost I thought I was going to.
This appears to me a subtle manner in which to marginally increase revenue. It stinks and is deceptive.

Skype's v4 interface is in a word… terrible. I'm not talking about the colors or little design elements, I am referring to usability. It is counter-intuitive. I would be happy to provide a list of comments and suggestions on where the GUI is really failing, but all Skype needs to do is use the darn thing everyday and it will become obvious what the problems are. Simple items such as:
- making calls
- making conference calls
- viewing history
- viewing contact details
- editing contact numbers (geez is this one bad)
- the list goes on and onIf Skype wants more details and promises to listen, I would be happy to talk. Just contact me.

Ever since upgrading to the latest version I have lost the ability to copy into the Instant Messaging window. Since my primary use of this tool is to share information this makes the tool useless for me.
Any chance this will be fixed?
fdoamerica said 4 years ago
I do not like the way Skype 4.0 functions … it is more difficult to use than the 3.x versions and basically looks crappy. This is a classic case of pinheads thinking that they know more than those who use the program do… Skype you screwed up. I want to go back to my old version.

I am retreating back to Skype 3.8 … going back where the grass was green and life was good. What a hassle 4.1 is… eck.

The UI really sucks! I've just been forced to update to version 4. I am getting all version 3.8 from oldapps.com
I agree with many posts above, the UI is not friendly, I don't know what to click on and even worst, how do I explain my parents how to use it?! -
edrewery said 4 years ago
Add me to the list of people that think the skype 4 redesign was a huge step backwards. The loss of speed dial is also really a big shafting for people that have bought your certified products from partners (although most of your partners seem to have abandoned support too). The UI is clumsy and overcomplicated, the unification of windows was implemented very poorly. I'm actually quite surprised that this iteration passed internal checks.
pcexpert2003 said 4 years ago
It looks like Skype is placing too much emphasis on instant messaging and video chat. Why not keep the core business of cheap telephone calls and leave the instant messaging and video chat to Microsoft and Yahoo?
Or, how about this: Provide two versions of Skype; one that only does telephony and another that has the bloated functionality including IM and video chat.
Speed dial is the most important feature to me. Sadly, this upgrade dropped it.
spaztastik said 4 years ago
I'm getting error messages when I sign in, which never happened before. And my call was still dropped.
Also, please add the remove history feature again.

In my first attempt to use Skype in video mode I called my sister who has Skype. Our only contacts are each other.
The problem: I could see and hear her, but she could only hear me, but not see me.
She could see me but not hear me!
We could not see and hear each other no matter what we tried to do.
Any suggestions ? Thank you

The Skype 4 interface sucks. 3.8 was much simpler and better made. You guys threw away gold.
neal_kernohan said 4 years ago
A few months ago you changed the user interface entirely, making it pretty much unusable for my needs, from which I had to rollback to 3.X. I've been quite happily running on 3.X since then. This morning, Skype says it wants to update some files, so I let it as usual. Transpires it is not simply an update, but that it installs the new version again. So, are you basically forcing people onto the new interface now? It's a very poor layout for people with multiple monitors who have been using Skype and other conf. services to work alongside other programs for years now.
The new version is also extremely COUNTER-INTUITIVE. Where is my chat icon when I click on a user? Where are my outlook contacts? Why are all the icons green, making them less distinguishable from each other? I cannot think of a single positive reason for the end-user for making all the icons so similar!? You've removed speed-dial also!? Really?
I actually cannot see how you've made the overall interface more intuitive. I know that sometimes new versions of software sometimes bring in a lot of complaints and that Skype, the creator, believes they will benefit the end user and hence will 'ride it out'. BUT I simply CAN NOT believe that the creators at Skype even believe it themselves, that this is a better interface. It's appalling, truly.
petedinham said 4 years ago
Sorry skype – have to agree with many of the other posts. This is a MUCH worse version than 3.x Not being able to have multiple chat windows open at once is a killer for me as I try to manage people remotely. I'm heading off to find a downgrade immediately.
saionjik said 4 years ago
I dont even want to be nice about it. I've been using skype for many many years and all I have to say is that some retards coded 4.x's features and interface.
3.8 seriously has the advantage. -
andyfives said 4 years ago
Both my wife and I dislike version 4.0 very much. After using 4.0 for over a month, we have lost patience with it and 'upgraded' back to version 3.8. We will stay on this version for as long as we can.
Just to add my 2 cents worth, I really do not know how anyone can find this better than the previous version. It should be simple and efficient with a good overview.
As it used to be was perfect. Please look to version 3 of your application when making your next upgrade. I hope it will be sooner rather than later!
law245 said 4 years ago
Recently I have noticed that I can no longer receive video from certain countries with the 3.8 version on PC.This is something that just "started happening"!I installed 4.0 update and,now I recieve video without a hitch?I do like ONE feature about 4.0,,that being better video calls.However the missing features like SKYPE MODE ,the "question mark" status which clearly indicated who was still on your list,and acsess to reading profile info.(now there is simply a name!?)
I don´t mind admitting I enjoy flirting on Skype(as so many do)and Skype mode made it clear as to who was open for a chat.
Why was Skype mode removed?Was it the onslaught of webcam solicitors?Plus, I notice that the links to the webcam sites are no longer visible,,this I DO like!! -
psiberlife said 4 years ago
Version 4 sucks.
In ver 3.8 the you just need to click on the persons name and you could see what time it was with them just under their name, ie local time.Now you can't do that and I have no easy way to tell what time it is with any of my contacts.
It seems they have removed this feature entirely. No matter what I do I can't find local time for a contact. I have already gone back to 3.8, and am looking at googles offering, part of their email service gmail.
I have to go outside the program to get the time of any contact and I have lots all around the world.
Why would skype wreck their program? -
psiberlife said 4 years ago
Also the program help sucks too. It should be easy to learn about all the new features of the software ver 4 and get any get explanations as to why old features are dropped, but NOOOOOOOOOO not in skype 4.
Why not have a screen dump of old and new screens (versions) and explain about each part? like why old great parts are gone. -
kevin.james1970 said 3 years ago
Skype update??? If I wanted the new version then I would install it!!!! I now have to re-install something that I did not want removed in the first place as I was quite happy with it!!!! I find the new version baffling…….!! Skype take note!!! Judging by previous comments it would appear that the new version is not very popular.. I. for one find it very difficult to use.
stuart.macdonald.cds said 3 years ago
Yep, "upgrading" to 3.8, turning off further updates to avoid 4.0. Skype had better not lose any of my history doing this.
Thanks to nik-nitro for the link to the old app.

Track 8 on SACDA67540
Super-Audio CD Deleted
The first movement is short and introductory, but it sets up all the essential elements: first a heroic, surging, questing bass proclamation answered by searing strings, then in the distance a group of harp and strings (offstage or in a balcony) answers with a gentle, lyrical gesture based on Nearer, My God, to Thee. This opening foreshadows the battle between march and hymn in the second movement, and meanwhile echoes the traditional heroic and lyrical themes of symphonic first movements. A chorus enters singing a hymn:
Watchman, tell us of the night,
What the signs of promise are:
Traveller, oer yon mountains height,
See that Glory-beaming star!
Watchman, aught of joy or hope?
Traveller yes; it brings the day,
Promised day of Israel.
Dost thou see its beauteous ray?
Traveller, see!
Here the music introduces the protagonist of the symphonythe Traveller, the Pilgrimand points to his destination, the glory-beaming star of the spirit.
The first answer that existence provides is what Ives calls the Comedy, standing in for the traditional symphonic scherzo. A kind of pandemonic battle in the form of contending hymns and marches, the Comedy is at once an evocation of the roiling modern cityscape Ives knew in Manhattan (which he called Hell Hole and Babylon, not without affection), and a retelling of Hawthornes cosmi-comic Bunyanesque story The Celestial Railroad, in which an impressively modern if clearly demonic railroad company is selling trips to the Celestial City in outstanding comfort, the passengers invited to laugh at the pilgrims struggling through the swamps along the route. After a charming stopover in Vanity Fair, the passengers catastrophically miss their connection. Ivess realization of the story is breathtaking and sui generis, a rip-roaring ride through masses of sound tumbling and crashing in air. At the end comes a gigantic eruption in six or seven keys of Yankee Doodle. On first acquaintance the Comedy is apt to leave you unsure whether to clutch your sides laughing or run for your life, or some combination of the two.
Ives was at heart a religious composer, no less in his uproarious moments than in his gentle ones. The third movement, based on a fugal movement for string quartet written at Yale, is set in the quiet of a New England church. He described its part in the symphonys programme as an expression of the reaction of life into formalism and ritualismthat applying both to the music and to organized religion. Based on the hymn From Greenlands icy mountains, it is a beautiful and finally soaring movement with an eloquent C major simplicity, as far from the Comedy as one could imagine. But like Vanity Fair, the church is not the destination this Pilgrim seeks.
The finale begins with a quiet patter of percussion that will continue throughout behind the music, perhaps suggesting the pulse of the universe. Then comes a distant recall of the symphonys opening bass line, now not heroic but hushed and searching. From there one of the most mystical movements in any work gathers in a growing stream of murmuring and singing voices, near and far away. The colours and textures are diaphanous, the gestures elusive. Yet one realizes that this teeming host is somehow moving in the same direction, on myriad paths. Over and over, woven into the texture, is the opening phrase of the hymn Bethany: Nearer, my God, to Thee. In those words we find the meaning of the symphony, intimated from its first moments.
A downstriding bass line begins and the music mounts in a slow wave to an ecstatic climax that subsides until it coalesces, as if out of mist, onto an old harmonic figure of the kind that introduces a hymn. Then the coda and arrival: a chorus wordlessly singing the whole of Nearer, my God, to Thee, which has been the secret theme and destination of the Fourth Symphony from the beginning. The hymn emerges like a revelation, like an innate spirit that has been with us all along, making itself manifest after a long journey. At the end the music seems to evanesce out of hearing, into the stars, still searching. The journey is not over, but we are Nearer.
There are far-reaching philosophies in this music. Ives intended the Fourth Symphony as a work of universal religion, rising out of his own Protestantism but reaching far beyond it. In impassioned lines he once imagined music becoming a late revelation of all gospels in one A conception unlimited by the narrow names of Christian, Pagan, Jew or Angel! A vision higher and deeper than art itself! Ives never expected to reach that revelation, or humanity to reach it for aeons, but he believed with all his heart that we would get there someday, and that musichis music, all true musicwould be a fundamental part of that great journey. Like few other works, the Fourth Symphony speaks to our highest selves, and leaves us looking upward and beyond.

Hello everyone,
I'm rather new to CA.org, but was told to go here by a member a long time ago. Finally decided to do it, as I'm now graduated from university and thought it was time for something new.
Small introduction is in order I think. I am first and foremost a digital artist. My favorite style is realism and I've learned to paint digitally mostly by recreating photographs as best I could. My first tablet I stole from my dad years and years ago, some tiny Wacom Classic that I still have laying around in a cupboard somewhere, and up to about last year, still used (it's about eight years old now, old lady).
I didn't start painting seriously until about three years ago, and since then have improved fast, according to some. I, however, think I lack a sense of originality, but I'm trying hard to improve by not only drawing photographs, but also just trying to paint and draw unreferenced.
My strongest subjects are portraits, because I do them so often, and even though I'd like to move on to getting the hang of full body anatomy and other stuff, I very often find myself in lack of time.
Currently, my tools of trade consist of a Wacom Graphire 4 and a Wacom Cintiq, along with a version of Photoshop.
Anyway... Recent drawings, lets have a look on my computer, shall we?

National gumdrop day
Published 10:06 AM CST Feb 15, 2013
Goody, goody! February 15 is National Gumdrop Day.
If your Valentine's Day wasn't sweet enough, today might be able to make up for that. Gumdrops are small, chewy, sugar-coated candies typically made with gelatin (that's where they get their wiggle from). They're often used to decorate gingerbread houses and even have a mountain, albeit fictitious, named after them.
While most gumdrops are fruit-flavored, some are spiced; cardamom and cinnamon are popular flavors of this version. If you're making gumdrops at home, you can experiment with whatever flavor you're hankering, like lemon, coconut or orange.

Kaufman County is on edge. Two prosecutors killed in two months, including the district attorney, gunned down in his home over the weekend.
What's going on? Is someone assassinating prosecutors?
As armed guards surround the Kaufman County Courthouse and police shrouded some public officials in around-the-clock protection, it seems there are as many questions as answers.
District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife, Cynthia, were shot to death, nearly two months after one of his assistants died in a brazen daytime shooting outside the north Texas county's courthouse.
A search warrant affidavit stated the couple was found dead Saturday evening by friends who had tried to reach them several times during the day. Each of them had been shot multiple times, the affidavit states.
McLelland talked to relatives on Friday night, the affidavit states. Investigators have asked a judge for records of mobile phone calls that were relayed through at least one nearby tower, the documents show.
The killings followed warnings that a white supremacist group might be preparing to take revenge on law enforcement officials who targeted them in 2012.
It's unclear whether the McLelland killings were linked to the January 31 shooting death of Kaufman County assistant prosecutor Mark Hasse, or to the March 19 death of the prisons chief in Colorado. Authorities say a suspect in that shooting was a onetime white supremacist gang member who died in a shootout with deputies -- in north Texas.
"This whole thing is shocking to all of us," said Kaufman County Judge Bruce Wood during a Monday news conference. "I would be less than honest if I told you I was not worried."
Michael Burns, McLelland's law school classmate, longtime friend and fellow district attorney, said that after Hasse's killing, McLelland told him, "They better come prepared because there'll be a fight."
Both Kaufman County prosecutors apparently started carrying guns, but it wasn't enough.
Brandi Fernandez, McLelland's first assistant district attorney, will take over the office on an interim basis until Gov. Rick Perry can appoint a successor, county officials announced.
Latest shooting
The McLellands' bodies were found Saturday at their home in the Dallas suburb of Forney.
A law enforcement source told CNN that investigators have recovered several shell casings from a .223-caliber rifle.
Mike Griffith, whose yard backs up to the McLellands', told CNN affiliate WFAA-TV he thinks he heard the attack unfolding early Saturday.
"It was five or six shots, one right after the other," WFAA quoted Griffith as saying.
The deaths came almost exactly two months after Hasse was shot dead and the day McLelland vowed to bring his killer -- he used the word "scum" -- to justice.
"We're going to pull you out of whatever hole you're in, we're going to bring you back and let the people of Kaufman County prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law," he said.
Hasse had feared for his life and carried a gun to work, said a Dallas attorney who described herself as his longtime friend.
Colleen Dunbar said she spoke with Hasse a week before he died and he told her he had begun carrying a gun at work.
"He told me he would use a different exit every day because he was fearful for his life," Dunbar told CNN.
She said that Hasse gave no specifics on why he felt threatened, only that he did.
A neighbor said Cynthia McLelland had been concerned that Hasse wouldn't be the only person killed, but she thought her husband would be OK.
"And I said, 'What about Mike? You think he's safe?' And she said, 'Yeah, I'm not worried about about Mike,' " David Crone told WFAA.

New Arc'teryx face fabric
A great deal of science goes into the research and development of every Arc'teryx garment. Featured on the 2012 redesigned Alpha SV Jacket, N80p-X is the result of years of effort and collaboration. In the performance of waterproof, breathable garments, the exterior face fabric is of primary importance. Preventing it from "wetting out" reduces heat loss, maintains breathability and consequently allows moisture to escape to the outer surface.
Five years in the making, developed in partnership with W.L. Gore, N80p-X is constructed from an 80 denier, false twist texture, high tenacity nylon 6,6 yarn, in plain weave, which is evenly balanced and extremely tight in both the warp and weft direction.
Translation: It has a flat surface, it's durable and it's engineered for longevity.
Loose fibres collect snow and break the surface tension of water droplets, which causes them to be absorbed. A high density thread count distributes load and increases fabric strength. Using false twisted yarns softens the texture plus adds durability as well as an elastic quality. Plain weave construction packs the false twisted yarns tightly to reduce movement, further reducing the possibility of snags and breaks.
With enough elasticity to resist fibre breakage, tightly packed for strength, and woven into a smooth water-shedding surface that puts minimal stress on the internal waterproof membrane, the science of high performance Arc'teryx weather protection considers all things, from the yarns to the finished surface.
N80p-X Arc'teryx face fabric —another dimension in athletic performance.

Is it possible to become a good programmer if you don't like math?
Do we have to learn Mathematics to be a good Programmer?
Do we have to learn Mathematics to be a good Programmer? |
This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
Math and programming are very closely related as math is really the universal language between humans and computers. You do not need to know a lot of math for high level programming as a lot of that is behind the scenes, but it will aid in comprehension for a lot of more advanced programming concepts. If you plan to do more low level programming (systems or device programming), then you will need to know a lot more math. | |||||||||||||
It depends on what you're programming. A 3D game engine, for example, would be extremely difficult (if not impossible) to pull off with any degree of coherency without knowledge of the appropriate mathematical concepts. | |||
To be honest, I was a horrible math student in school. Algebra was completely beyond me at the time, and I don't think I ever got higher than a D in it. However, a few years later, after having worked as a professional software developer, I went back to college and took a course in algebra. To my amazement, it was the easiest class I had, and I got an A in it. Truth was, programming taught me algebra, because virtually everything is just an algebraic expression. So no, you don't need it to start. It helps, but it isn't required. The beautiful thing about software development as a means to teach math is that the compiler, debugger, and executing program are wonderful ways to verify that you've got the answer correct. In this regard, debugging particularly is a huge boon to learning, because you can step through the code and watch each step of your algorithm's evaluation. | |||||
You have to either learn math, or create your own. Either way it is important to be good at it in some form or another. As long as you can work with values and understand what they are doing, why and what you can make them do, then traditional mathematics may not always be necessary. Occasionally it even gets in the way. There are alternative ways to visualize a byte's value other than numbers, but they are most definitely the most thought after method. It would be feasible to write a program thinking of all values as colors for instance. Today's programing derives much of it's value from being able to represent 1s and 0s as different types of data. Even though really those 1s and 0s aren't numbers at all, but electrical wavelength changes, math isn't so much at play as physics,... however,... it is very important in understanding a great great deal of what other programmers say and code. Still it would be possible to be a good programmer without math, however difficult. | |||||||||
I just finished an intro course to discrete math, and I found that I already knew almost everything about predicate logic thanks to programming; all that was new was the syntax--it was basically just working with booleans. In short: perhaps you do not have to learn math explicitly, but just by being a programmer you have probably learned some math without realizing. That is, by being a "good programmer", you are also really being a mathematician (to some extent). The Curry-Howard Correspondence illustrates what I mean: basically, it states that mathematical proofs and certain computer programs are "isomorphic", that is, they are different ways of writing the same thing. Of course, it is actually more complex than this, but I'm not a mathematician, so this is the best explanation I can give. Hopefully it isn't too far off the mark. In summary, not only do many fields in CS and programming involve a lot of math, but even basic programming ideas (e.g. booleans) are basically math in disguise. | |||
Maths is the ante-room of programming. Being able to work with layers upon layers of abstraction, models, "objectification" of functions, transformations and temporal concepts, maths is the perfect training ground for all that. It is possible to develop the right mindset to programming without maths but it's a lot harder. However, specialist areas aside, only understanding maths is important, knowing the name of everything and how a given theorem can be proved isn't. So even if you have good marks in maths because you learned it all without really understanding, you will still struggle with programming. | |||
Math knowledge is good for some applications (like gaming, artificial intelligence, computer graphics, etc), but math teach you something beyond just formulas or complex equations. Learning math is like learning a new programming language. In fact, programming is applied math. When you learn a new language, you learn a lot of things that make you a better programmer. It is not different with math, but if you really master math, you will be a better programmer forever, even you don't use advanced math in your job. The reason is simple: math teach you to see the world with other eyes. It teaches you to solve problems with different approaches without necessarily programming. This new way to think certainly leds you to a better way to do your job. Programming is an art. Math is an art. If you combine both of them you will be a better artist. | |||||
Depends on the math. Not all math is created equal. I'd say it's pretty hard to be good at programming if you don't understand some basic concepts in Discrete Mathematics like set theory and Boolean logic. Graph Theory and Networks has some pretty obvious applications. That said, there's a lot of math that is useful to programmers only if it is useful to the problem domain of what you are building software for. It's fairly dependant on the field you are working for, however. I can say I honestly have never cracked a stats book for my work. I'd say Calculus, Statistics, Numerical Analysis, and Linear Algebra all fit into this collection. And then there's a few caveats:
That said, I don't do that kind of analysis very often. There's too much chaos in the real world of integration and development to let me get that pure and mathematically perfect on the job. | |||||
Well I was having lessons at a math teacher several months ago and I can say that if you have some mathematical knowledge you can benefit from it. For example: I was writing some javascript code and I had to simulate acceleration and deceleration. I heard about the fibonacci sequence from my math teacher so I was able to simulate this behavior easily with it. If I haven't had lessions however I don't know what I would have done. I think the point is obvious from this example. | ||||
I use to say "No, you don't (necessarily) need to be strong in maths to program". Pro: As a programmer, I rarely do more math that incrementing variables, doing some operations you do on a desk calculator (+ - * /), sometime go as far as doing a modulus and a percentage... Con: Actually, you have to apply some branches of math, particularly logic... Some other maths can be useful: concepts around floating point numbers, Boole algebra, theory of sets, etc. | |||
The answer to this question is the same as if the question had been "Do we have to learn computer science to program?" Technically no, in that the ability to program doesn't require that you understand how caching works or how databases are fundamentally structured or even how the internet works. However, perhaps it limits what you're capable of programming. It's like thinking you can write poetry because you know english. Knowing how to formulate words to write poetry doesn't mean you can write poetry. In this sense, you can program without knowing mathematics, though perhaps your inability to perform mathematics would undermine an essentially important skill of a programmer not only for not being able to do the mathematics but also for the ability to logically proof your code which comes only from years of programming experience or having performed proofs in mathematics, for instance. | |||
From my experience I can tell that there is math and there is other math. If we take a birds eye view at math from the scientific point of view, we will discover that dealing with math requires a high potential of thinking "a logical" way - while following strict rules. This is diffenrent to some other siences - lets say at Arts. So this logical apporach is absolutley mandatory to be a programmer. | |||
No, no, and a side of no. Math courses help you to develop a method of thinking and problem solving that is useful as a programmer. The actual math however proves entirely unnecessary in most jobs in this industry. | |||
You can look through endless source on GITHUB or programming books/tutorials without encountering any maths. A lot of web programming has scarcely got anything to do with algorithms, never mind maths. To be a computer scientist? Perhaps. Just to be a good programmer? No way. | |||

Often the most memorable gifts are those that are homemade. Rather than go to an expensive chocolate shop, attempt these homemade white chocolate truffles. Sure, you may be thinking white chocolate is plain Jane, but these truffles are anything but. Whether you are making them for your love, your friends, or your mother this Sunday, any recipient of these chocolates will be amazed by the craftsmanship and flavor of these white chocolate truffles.
First, you'll need to make a ganache, which is an emulsified mixture of heavy cream and white chocolate. When it cools, it will set into a cloudy, more malleable mixture.
The ganache is rolled into balls before it is dipped in the melted, tempered chocolate.
The white chocolate shell snaps to reveal creamy white chocolate ganache centers.

NCompass Live: Tech Talk with Michael Sauers: An interview with Andrew Blum
In this month's Tech Talk Michael interviews Andrew Blum, author of Tubes: A Journey to the Center of the Internet our Nebraska Learns 2.0 BookThing for August.
A narrative tour behind the scenes of our everyday lives to see the heart of the Internet itself. When your Internet cable leaves your living room where does it go?
Almost everything about our day-to-day lives—and the broader scheme of human culture—can be found on the Internet. But what is it physically? And where is it really? Our mental map of the network is as blank as the map of the ocean that Columbus carried on his first voyages. The Internet, its material nuts and bolts, is an unexplored territory. Until now. In Tubes, journalist Andrew Blum goes inside the Internet's physical infrastructure and flips on the lights, revealing an utterly fresh look at the online world we think we know. Tubes combines on-the-ground reporting and lucid explanation into an engaging, mind-bending narrative to help us understand the physical world that underlies our digital lives.

Les Intouchables
Arc'athlete Alex Chabot recently climbed "Les Intouchables", a famous route at Trident du Tacul, Mont Blanc. Here's his first-person account of the expedition.
"Les Intouchables" is a route in Trident du Tacul that is just next to Grand Capucin. Piola made the first ascent in 1992. The climb is fantastic, leading up on the granite of Mont Blanc through lines of small cracks, with spectacular views of the mountain range. (Personally, I think this is one of the most beautiful routes in Mont Blanc).
We have an opening in the weather and I call Yves to ask if he wants to join me on the project. Next day we leave, carrying heavy loads with progression rope of 2x50m, 10 quick draws, a big set of Camalot and bivouac gear that we place below Grand Capucin.
We pass the rimaye without a problem, heading up the first pitches trying to save as much energy as possible for the last 7c+ pitch (graded 7b+ after the removal of the bolts!). The climb is steep and smooth following a logic line of great cracks and pass through a few overhanging roofs making sure we warm up for the upcoming difficulties.
We were eager to get to the most interesting pitch. After a last steep pitch of 7b, we reach two parallel cracks. The difficulty is obvious: we want to do this steep pitch on-sight while carrying many kilos of equipment, knowing that the lactic acid reaches the under arms fast being up 3,600 meters. It is a climb with fist-sized cracks where we quickly need to decide what protection to put on. Two hundred fifty meters of alpine paradise and the satisfaction to succeed the pitch on-sight! Thank you Yves for joining me on this adventure.
Alex sent us a lot more great photos from the climb and we've put them all in an album on our Facebook page. Have a look.

He asked not to indulge in a theater of flagging commits with useless (and probably misleading) comments. That is a very far cry from dishonesty.
The contention that such commit messages will make Linux look bad is nonsense, if somebody wants to get data on security problems there are lots of other sources, very much more accurate than self-selected comments on patches.

no, he didn't *ask* anything. he *declared* that he does *not* want to see greppable words that'd identify a commit as fixing a security bug. no ifs and buts there. in less euphemistic words it's also called a coverup. second, if identifying security fixes was 'useless (and probably misleading)' then 1. why does he still let through such commits sometimes, 2. why does the rest world do this? something doesn't add up here if you theory holds ;).

What public transport is available during the night?
Hey, I am travelling through Scotland at the moment to find the best place to live... At the moment I am in Oban. Who would like to go into a pub, a restaurant, cinema or ding some trips with me?Hope to hear from you soon!
how much is a ticket to the island of mull by airplane
HI there
I'll de doing a round trip from Glasgow to Edinburgh somewhere in the next Spring.
I've never been to any of both cities and It seems to me that I don't have any particulary strong reason to choose the train over the bus, and vice versa (time, money, location, etc).
What I'd like to know from you is if any of those itineraries is better than the other in terms of sightseeing.
I'll say it in a different way in case my English is too cryptic: Will I see a nicer Scotland landscape from the bus or from the train, neither or both?
Thanks :)
