RightScale Adds Amazon EC2 Europe to List of Supported Clouds
RightScale Lets Businesses Migrate Deployments and Manage Multiple Clouds from a Single Management Platform
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. February 12, 2009 RightScale®, Inc., the leader in cloud computing management, today announced that it has added the new Amazon EC2 Europe cloud infrastructure to the growing list of clouds supported by the RightScale Cloud Management Platform. Announced in December, Amazon EC2 now provides European businesses the option to run their EC2 applications on a local cloud. Amazon Web Services global and European Amazon EC2 customers now have access to RightScale's automated cloud management platform to manage and scale cloud deployments as well as facilitate application migration and management across U.S. and EU clouds.
"Amazon EC2 in Europe has been long awaited by European customers as well as those in the U.S. with significant European customer bases," said Michael Crandell, RightScale CEO. "Support for both Amazon EC2 clouds underscores our commitment to meeting customers' needs to deploy applications on local clouds, manage across multiple clouds and select the cloud that best meets their application, regulatory and geographic requirements."
Amazon EC2 in Europe provides Amazon EC2 users with reduced latency and aids them in adhering to EU regulatory requirements for data storage and processing. For global companies, it supports an additional level of redundancy and disaster recovery. To help companies with the challenges of migrating and managing applications across multiple clouds, RightScale will now also support Amazon EC2 deployments in Europe.
RightScale protects EC2 users from this underlying complexity and reduces the administration burden of managing cloud deployments. The RightScale Cloud Management Platform enables Amazon EC2 customers to migrate their cloud applications between Amazon EC2 clouds in the U.S. and Europe easily, as well as maintain and manage all their cloud deployments through one powerful management platform. Now, all of RightScale's cloud management features, machine images and cloud-ready ServerTemplates are available for Amazon EC2 customers in the EU, and migration from Amazon EC2 U.S. requires only a few simple steps. Amazon EC2 deployments that span the U.S. and Europe also share a common user interface, so customers can see and manage all servers across all regions in one place.
In addition to Amazon EC2 in the U.S. and in Europe, the RightScale Cloud Management Platform also supports clouds from FlexiScale, GoGrid and the Eucalyptus project. RightScale also works with Rackspace to assure compatibility with their cloud offerings, including Slicehost, Mosso and CloudFS.

Off-duty cop electrocuted trying to help at crash scene
Daniel "JJ" Lomax, 55, came into contact with live wires as he approached an accident scene hoping to help
By Sarah Hofius Hall
The Times-Tribune, Scranton, Pa.
WAYNE COUNTY, Pa. — Daniel "JJ" Lomax was always willing to help.
So when the off-duty police officer and volunteer firefighter came across a car crash in Wayne County early Saturday morning, he stopped to assist. When he left his vehicle, he came into contact with downed power lines.
Officer Lomax was electrocuted and died at the scene. He was 55.
As news of his death spread through the communities where he worked as a part-time officer, and the fire departments where he volunteered, family, friends and colleagues said Officer Lomax died like he lived — by helping others.
"He always put others first in his book," said Matthew Pritchyk, first assistant chief for the Scott Twp. Hose Company. "He was always looking out for others."
Officer Lomax, of Factoryville, served as deputy chief for the fire department, and also volunteered in Factoryville and for the Meredith Hose Company in Childs. He worked as a part-time police officer for departments in Mayfield, Forest City and Great Bend.
On Saturday at about 3:10 a.m., Officer Lomax came upon the scene of the accident on Sawmill Road in Salem Twp., about 1 1/2 miles west of Route 191. Details on the crash Officer Lomax stopped for were unavailable Saturday. The Wayne County coroner's office has ruled Officer Lomax's death accidental.
Officer Lomax came to Factoryville from the Philadelphia area as a teenager to join a foster family, his adoptive brother Steve Brower said. He became a genuine part of the family, as generous to them and others as they were to him.
"My brother is a provider," Mr. Brower said. "He gives to everybody."
After serving on area police departments for many years, Officer Lomax left Northeast Pennsylvania about a decade ago and worked as a police officer in Maryland, colleagues said. He returned to the area about two years ago.
"He was dependable. Everybody liked him. Everybody knew him," Forest City Chief Paul Lukus said. "He'd go out of his way to help you. If I needed him here in two hours, and regardless of what he had going on, he would be there."
Officer Lomax started working in Great Bend in May 2012 and quickly became active on the police force and in the community, Chief Jon Record said.
"He would give his shirt to anybody," Chief Record said. "He died doing what he loved, and that was helping people."
A photo of Officer Lomax and news of his death, posted on the police department's Facebook page, quickly got several hundred comments and shares on Saturday.
Mayfield Chief Joseph Perechinsky said Officer Lomax was the "most dedicated officer I've ever seen."
After working in Mayfield a decade ago, he came back to the department a year ago after returning from Maryland.
"I can't say anything negative about the guy," Chief Perechinsky said. "He will be deeply missed by my department."

Red Hat shares fall on weak results
- Tweet
- Share this
(Reuters) - Shares of Red Hat Inc (RHT.N), the world's largest commercial distributor of the Linux operating system, fell 9 percent in early trade after the company's quarterly billings growth disappointed analysts.
On Wednesday, the company said a weak economy hurt billings in the first quarter and is likely to impact growth going forward.
Red Hat's first-quarter billings growth of 16 percent was below the 20 percent analysts had estimated, mainly due to foreign currency headwinds, Susquehanna Financial Group analyst J. Derrick Wood wrote in a note to clients.
Wood cut his price target on the stock to $65 from $67.
Red Hat's Linux operating system is a major competitor to Microsoft Corp's (MSFT.O) Windows in corporate markets, especially on servers.
"The business momentum of Red Hat moderated in the quarter ... This was slower than the growth rates in the previous five quarters," J.P. Morgan analyst John DiFucci said.
While the large deal metrics were positive and Southern Europe was surprisingly strong in the quarter, a slow down in global IT spending is still a matter of concern, he said.
Stifel Nicolaus analyst Brad Reback cut his price target on the stock by $5 to $65 and said the company's growing size seemed to be impacting order flows.
"As we have seen with other $1 billion-plus software vendors, Red Hat's billings appear to be getting a bit more seasonally skewed toward the back-half of the fiscal year due to growing contract complexity (more products) and expanding deal sizes," he said.
The strengthening dollar also led the company to trim its full-year revenue forecast to between $1.32 billion and $1.34 billion, from $1.34 billion to $1.36 billion. Red Hat gets about 40 percent of its revenue from outside the United States.
However, analysts remain confident of the company's long-term performance as they see demand trends remaining strong.
"While the stock may correct near term, we expect that the feedback from customer and vendor checks at Red Hat's annual customer event in Boston next week will show that demand in the core Red Hat Enterprise Linux business remains strong," BMO Capital Market's Karl Keirstead said.
Shares of the Raleigh, North Carolina-based company, which have gained 11.5 percent in the last three months, were trading down 6 percent at $53.25 in early trade on Thursday on the New York Stock Exchange.

IDC in December said it expects overall 2011 IT spending to grow 5.7 percent over 2010 to reach $1.6 trillion, with much of that growth coming in IT segments critical to the growth of data centers.
In that report, IDC said it estimates hardware spending to grow 7.8 percent, project-based services by 3.5 percent and outsourcing by 4.0 percent in 2011.
But the real growth will come from spending on public IT cloud services, which IDC expects to rise by 30 percent in 2011, and on social business software, which IDC said will grow by 38 percent annually through 2014.
Gartner in August estimated 2011 worldwide IT spending to rise by 3.5 percent over 2010 to reach about $2.5 billion, but warned IT suppliers to be prepared for the low but real possibility of no growth at all.

for your third one, it is looking nice. will you do all rooms entrable? or only some pieces?
for your third one, it is looking nice. will you do all rooms entrable? or only some pieces?
My intention is to replicate it from the game as best as possible atleast in terms of rooms so everything will hopefully be accessible minus the entrance to the underground catacombs.
This would actually be my second structure, the first was the utility shed I posted a page earlier.
However it was an earlier version, the biggest difference was the "Cleanliness" of the mesh, the second would be the next upgraded version and this would be my third if you count the remake.
sweet looking Wolverine! you even got little dirt spots on the legs!
Nice house too, Arma needs all civilian and objects it can get to enhance the game.
YES!! Finally some buildings!!!
Will you be making some middle eastern houses too?
If I have any luck with the shed and Derceto then I suppose I could give it a try, I'd be willing to make them to contribute to your map. Do you by chance have any particular ones you'd ike me to try?Originally Posted by (Opteryx @ Oct. 14 2007,16:11)
And thanks for your comments on the Wolverine Commando84, I try to add in what details I can. The texture is only 1024x1024 so it shouldn't be much of a system hogger either.
Hmm not sure if I follow, what do you mean?Originally Posted by [b
Anyway, generic Arab/Iraqi houses is what I need, even better if they have rooftop access with high walls, think VBS buildings.
I would be EXTREMELY happy if you'd contribute with some buildings to my map.
Derceto is the name of the 'mansion' I modelled, from Alone in the Dark 1.
This is the shed or bunker if you prefer, not sure which way to go with it yet but it does have a version with some underground ways, the top part is on a modelled hill of land with the underground inside of it.
http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/8...d1dwirehb0.jpg only 626 polies or 1,206 tri's.
I'll do some looking into it and see what I might be able to do with the ME style structures and examine the images of VBS2's to get an idea of what I'm trying to go for.
Not a huge update but alittle somethin. I had some time to work on Decerto's interior today, I'v been constantly reviewing the games interiors and tried to match things up as best as possible, thus far mostly everything matches. I had to do some modifying to the exterior mesh to fit some things, currently the room that is the most innacurate is the kitchen, it shows a longer room but also a different window so either Decerto is not mirrored on both sides (unlikely) or the designers made a flaw (more likely), similar to comparing the intro image of the mansion to the ending sequence front image and the interior, the three don't match up as interior conforms to the ending image rather then the first, so I don't worry about that much.
And without the exterior mesh
The rooms adjacent the staircase as you can see, have nasty clipping errors, I'll resolve this by upping the stairway a bit or by lowering the ceiling height of either rooms.
The two sets of double doors at the entrace will have rooms adjacent to them as well, right leading to the ballroom and left leading to the cigarette room (ingame there is a ever burning cigarette that'll kill you if you don't put it out with water)
I'm in debate on wether or not to use the two sets of double doors in the small hallway before the foyer, they were not openable ingame but I might make use of them. The foyer has three doors and one free doorway.
The door infront of the staircase will NOT be openable, this led to the cellar, unless Derceto is modelled on a bit of a hillish landmass or something such as that it is doubtful the cellar will be 'unlocked'.
The door to the right of the foyer leads to the garden room, I'm going to have some fun with this as I have to model a female statue with a small deer next to her, a quiver on her back (You got the arrows from this location). Again the double door in this room was not used but it might be used.
The left door at the foyer leads to the kitchen, which will have two smaller rooms within it and another leading to the dining room. There is still plenty of work to do on the first floor and I have three more to go.
And an angled Perspective image of the current, hopefully final exterior mesh, the chimney's were raised and windows spaced from the front door, window added above the front door, entrance area mostly flush with the rest of the front now due to interior modelling misalignment, now fixed and the mansion made longer.
Yeah no kidding @.@ no I learned that with the refinery that you don't do UV map everything but instead, mirror
Since the house has a general pattern to the rooms I'm thinking I'll just made a simple texture for certain parts and mirror it on each part, for the floor I'll make a sort of small texture that I can tile.
For example, the entry hall all the way to the foyer uses the same tile pattern, and since I won't have to worry too much about dirt, I'll just make a 256x256 or 128x128 texture and tile it.
The cigarette room uses a wooden floor, similar to the floor leading to the ballroom and the third floor hallway, entry hall and foyer room use the same wall pattern, etc.
There are a few methods I can use to save myself time and performance.
For the doors I'm just going to use the full image of the full door since the front and back are the same minus the entrance. i'd use normal maps for the door but since Arma blots out normal maps in shadows (And I'm honestly worried about HDR) I'll just have to use the full model of the door, which isn't really all that complicated anyway, the doorknobs are a simple cylinder of eight with its center point dragged out just a bit.
All in all I'm doing this because I always wanted to model Derceto but also for the experience, incase a mod leader I'm working with wants me to work on structures, I'll have an idea of what to do without using many textures. I also want to experiment with specular maps to try to get a normal map feel since Arma doesn't show normal maps in shadows, and since no light other then the moon or sun effects them and how they show along with shadows, interior lights will do little to help me, thus its likely only the exterior mesh will have a shadow and only exterior textures will have normal maps while interiors have none.
At the moment the floors are all connected to doorway points and whatnot so I can make sure verything lines up, when the time comes I'll delete all of this and replace it with a simple 1 faces plane, should save a good amount of polies.
Aaand another somethin I tossed together in an hour or so, had a few breaks in between, trying to work on speed and what have ya. I'm not really sure where this will go and its very early WIP, the building has plenty of things to add onto it, its based off of the Abakh Hoja Mosque, polycount currently 1,243 (Do note I did NOT build it with as many optimization plans as Derceto) and yes the top does look like a certain female body part...workin on changing that...

How to Create a Visual Library of Images in HTML5 Canvasby David Catuhe As a user interface fan, I could not miss the opportunity to develop with HTML5 Canvas. It unlocks a whole new set of ways to visualize images and data on the web. In this tutorial, I'll walk you through how to create one for your site. Application overviewWe will produce an application that will let us display a Magic the Gathering © (courtesy of www.wizards.com/Magic) cards collection. Users will be able to scroll and zoom using the mouse (like Bing Maps, for example). Note: Image and data visualization is hardware intensive.

You can see the final result here: http://bolaslenses.catuhe.com The project source files can be downloaded here: http://www.catuhe.com/msdn/bolaslenses.zip Cards are stored on Windows Azure Storage and use the Azure Content Distribution Network ( CDN : a service that deploys data near the final users) in order to achieve maximum performances. An ASP.NET service is used to return cards list (using JSON format). ToolsTo write our application, we will use Visual Studio 2010 SP1 with Web Standards Update. This extension adds IntelliSense support in HTML5 page (which is a really important thing Description: Sourire). So, our solution will contain an HTML5 page side by side with .js files (these files will contain JavaScript scripts). About debug, it is possible to set a breakpoint directly in the .js files under Visual Studio. Try using the F12 Developer tools in Internet Explorer 9. Debug with Visual Studio 2010 Debug with Internet Explorer 9 (F12/Developer bar) So, we have a modern developer environment with IntelliSense and debug support. Therefore, we are ready to start and first of all, we will write the HTML5 page. The HTML5 pageOur page will be built around an HTML5 canvas which will be used to draw the cards: If we dissect this page, we can note that it is divided into two parts: The header part with the title, the logo and the special mentions The main part (section) holds the canvas and the tooltips that will display the status of the application. There is also a hidden image (backImage) used as source for not yet loaded cards. To build the layout of the page, a style sheet (full.css) is applied. Style sheets are a mechanism used to change the tags styles (in HTML, a style defines the entire display options for a tag): Thus, this sheet is responsible for setting up the following display: Style sheets are powerful tools that allow an infinite number of displays. However, they are sometimes complicated to setup (for example if a tag is affected by a class, an identifier and its container). To simplify this setup, the development bar of Internet Explorer 9 is particularly useful because we can use it to see styles hierarchy that is applied to a tag. Once the selection is done, we can see the styles hierarchy: Thus, we can see that our div received its styles from the body tag and the .tooltip entry of the style sheet.
slideToggle that hides (or shows) a tag by animating its height The listOfCards list contains objects whose format is:
Path: relative path of the card (without the extension) It should be noted that the URL of the server is called with the "?jsoncallback=?" suffix. Indeed, Ajax calls are constrained in terms of security to connect only to the same address as the calling script. However, there is a solution called JSONP that will allow us to make a concerted call to the server (which of course must be aware of the operation). And fortunately, jQuery can handle it all alone by just adding the right suffix. Once we have our cards list, we can set up the pictures loading and caching. Cards loading & cache handlingThe main trick of our application is to draw only the cards effectively visible on the screen. The display window is defined by a zoom level and an offset (x, y) in the overall system. The overall system is defined by 14819 cards that are spread over 200 columns and 75 rows. Also, we must be aware that each card is available in three versions: High definition: 480x680 without compression (.jpg suffix) Medium definition: 240x340 with standard compression (.50.jpg suffix) Low definition: 120x170 with strong compression (.25.jpg suffix) Thus, depending on the zoom level, we will load the correct version to optimize networks transfer. To do this we will develop a function that will give an image for a given card. This function will be configured to download a certain level of quality. In addition it will be linked with lower quality level to return it if the card for the current level is not yet uploaded: An ImageCache is built by giving the associated suffix and the underlying cache. Here you can see two important functions:
So to handle our 3 levels of caches, we have to declare three variables: Selecting the right cover is only depending on zoom: To give a feedback to the user, we will add a timer that will manage a tooltip that indicates the number of images currently loaded: Again we note the use of jQuery to simplify animations. Cards displayTo draw our cards, we need to actually fill the canvas using its 2D context (which exists only if the browser supports HTML5 canvas): The drawing will be made by processListOfCards function (called 60 times per second): This function is built around many key points: If the cards list is not yet loaded, we display a tooltip indicating that download is in progress: Subsequently, we define the position of the display window (in terms of cards and coordinates), then we proceed to clean the canvas: Then we browse the cards list and call the drawImage function of the canvas context. The current image is provided by the active cache (depending on the zoom):
And finally, we need to compute the number of frames per second: Drawing cards relies heavily on the browser's ability to speed up canvas rendering. For the record, here are the performances on my machine with the minimum zoom level (0.05):

Key strategies and documents
The PLACE Joint Committee have endorsed the Pennine Lancashire spatial guide which provides a framework for the authorities spatial planning activity
The Multi Area Agreement (MAA) reflects the ambitions for Pennine Lancashire. Its aim is to increase prosperity to enable everyone to enjoy a better quality of life. Pennine Lancashire has real growth potential and with the right support can make an important contribution to the productivity and competitiveness of the region.
The Pennine Lancashire Economic Strategy (PLES) underpins the MAA and details a number of strategic interventions.
The Pennine Lancashire Housing Strategy (PLHS) The strategy covers a 20 year period and provides a strong long term vision to transforming the housing market in the sub-region to meet the needs and aspirations of our residents
The Pennine Lancashire Cultural Plan and Cultural Action Plan have been endorsed by the PLACE Joint Committee and have been developed by the Pennine Lancashire Culture, Leisure and Sport Group. The Cultural Plan and Action Plan have been created to compliment the Local Authority existing culture plans/strategies and aims to encourage a Pennine Lancashire cultural offer for both local people and visitors.
The PLACE authorities and private sector, put forward a proposal to Government to form a Pennine Lancashire Local Enterprise Partnership. Whilst the proposal received positive feedback, it was felt that a Lancashire Local Enterprise Partnership, supported by the three sub-areas of Lancashire (Pennine, Fylde Coast and Mid-Lancs) would be better placed to kick-start the economic recovery.
The PLACE Strategy Unit provides evidence to the Governments' Select Committees when appropriate:
· Select Committee evidence – The New Local Enterprise Partnership
· Select Committee evidence – Inquiry into Regeneration
The PLACE Strategy Unit also provides a Intelligence Report which is available on this website.
There are a number of other key documents which form the evidence base for Pennine Lancashire and a number of strategy documents setting out our plans for the areas.
These include:
Addressing social inclusion in Pennine Lancashire
Economic Relationship between Pennine Lancashire and Greater Manchester (Ekosgen 2008)
Pennine Lancashire Digital Strategy
Pennine Lancashire Employment and Skills Board Position Statement (PLACE, 2010)
Pennine Lancashire MAA Economic Impact Assessment (Ekosgen, 2008)

Peggy Boswell - Mebane, NC
Peggy traces her earliest musical inspiration to listening to rock and roll 45s in her Burlington, NC basement. She learned her first guitar chords from her Uncle Scott Lineberry when her musical interests ranged from the Four Tops to Ronnie Dove (who years later left her a $20 tip for his Monday night fish dinner at the Shoney's on the Blountville Highway in Johnson City, TN). As director of the Alamance County Historical Museum, she founded the Fiddlers' Picnic that treated audiences to the best in local and regional traditional musicians and artisans from 1976 – 1989. Previous performing responsibilities have included the Sail Away Ladies (1984 – 1986) and the Cane Creek Cloggers Travel Band (1980 – 1986).
Alice Brower, Hillsborough, NC
"Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent." Victor Hugo, 1802 - 1885
Bob Brower, Hillsborough, NC
Like so much else in his life, Bob began music in his Flatbush (Brooklyn) kitchen. Family sing-alongs mixed it up with the big-band-edged broadcasts of WNEW-AM and his Uncle John's and downstairs neighbor's hand-me-up 45s. Bob didn't try his own hand at music until late in his college days at St. John's University. Bob soon fell in on bass in the Joe Padula Orchestra, playing weddings and community dances. Bob honed his skills in the doo-wop and 60s pop cover bands, Just Friends, City Streets and the New York Bandstand, including these bands' back-up work for urban recording artists The Paragons and The Jesters. He met his life and musical partner, the former Alice Clark, when they were both students of Staten Island musician Peter Prisco. Alice and Bob arrived in North Carolina in 1999, where they co-founded The Jazztones and both perform in the Triangle Jazz Orchestra and Mebanesville. Bob fills out his time with various jazz, rock and blues combos.

Ira Diamant - Chapel Hill, NC
Ira Diamant has been playing R&B, blues and folk guitar for 30 years. He attended the NCCU jazz guitar studies program for 4 years, where he managed not to obtain a degree in music. A software engineer for 25 years, Ira now earns a paltry, but happy living as a guitar teacher. He also performs with fellow Mebanaires Alice and Bob Brower in the Triangle Jazz Orchestra.
Chuck Hodson - Mebane, NC
A native of Chapel Hill, NC, Chuck began playing music in middle school in his friends' garages and most Saturday afternoons demonstrates that he's hardly left either yet. Among his musical mentors and friends, he includes the late Lester Porter of Chapel Hill, NC, Carl Jones of Hillsborough, NC, and Lucius Wilson of Burlington, NC. Involved with the Mebanesville project since its genesis at a geo-position exactly two blocks north of his home on East Jackson Street, if it has a string attached, Chuck's willing to try to pull, bend or pluck it.
Nettie Lassiter - Hillsborough, NC
Stay tuned.
Sherry Lea - Haw River, NC
Sherry Lea is a founding member of Mebanesville. She sang informally with friends for many years, and then had the good fortune to meet Larry and Peggy Vellani and their extended family of musical friends. With Nettie Lassiter, Sarah Rubin and Jamey Tippens, they formed the original Mebanesville. With Mebanesville, in its many incarnations, she's had the opportunity to perform a wide range of music, which she loves. Thank you, fellow Mebanesvillains!"
Paul Mitchell - Hillsbrough, NC
Paul has been playing old-time music for more than 30 years. During this time he has had the good fortune to learn from and play with a variety of great old-time musicians, notably Mark Gunther of Chicago, IL, Jon Bekoff, currently of Greenfield, MA, Marvin Gaster of Sanford, NC, and Joe Thompson of Mebane, NC. Though residing in the North Carolina Piedmont, Paul has rekindled a love of Irish fiddle music.
Lori Oshrain, Efland, NC
Lori loves music of all kinds. She plays drums and sings with Mebanesville and also plays drums with The Jazztones. Mostly self-taught, she has had the opportunity to play for several American Dance Festival (ADF) musicians' concerts with Beverly Botsford and the group Shamama, focused on a blend of African, Afro-Cuban and Jazz music styles. She divides her time among music, a rich family and friend community, and a full-time private practice in Clinical Psychology.
Jamie Tippens - Hillsborough, NC
What can we say? Really. What can we say? Until he completes penning his bio, we will say Jamie earns a living as a home inspector. Check out Jamie the Inspector.
Larry Vellani - Mebane, NC
Growing up in an extended immigrant family in the Hilltop neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio, Larry sang in Latin before he could read in English, and performed in beer and coffee bars before he cared for most of the drinks on the menus. This fact has long since changed. Larry has had the privilege of performing with some of the last quarter century's most respected interpreters of songs of peace and struggle, including Guy and Candy Carawan, Barbara Dane, Mimi Fariňa, Beverly Grant, Si Kahn, Fran McKendree and Baldemar Velasquez. A founding Mebanaire, he sometimes is offered a chair in other performing units including Durham Rangers (old time country blues, ballads and hoedowns), The Jazztones (swing and American songbook) and Rogues of the Bog (thar cionn ceoil agus craic Gaelach). And if you are still awake, learn more about Larry.

Holy shit, it's serious now
It must be big. The BBC have got a bloody logo!
No more fucking about; if the BBC have wheeled out a new logo then you just know that we're all heading down shit creek in a wire canoe.
Markets have reacted badly to the Beeb wheeling out the new logo. One analyst said: "Yes, things were quite fucked up already, but when I went on the BBC website to read about Kerry Katona this morning, I noticed they had some shit about the economy at the top of the page. Not only that, but they had a new logo! That means they're in it for the long haul. We are truly fucked now..."
*edit* Oh bum, Justin got there first.

I thought it might be nice to start this weblog by introducing myself, but then I thought that since almost everything on this web site is about computers, and almost everyone who reads it is interested in computers, perhaps it would be better to introduce you to my computer instead.
Here's my desktop right now:
As you can see, it's a bit of a mess. Like most things in my life. I try (I try *so hard*) to keep things organised, but as my friends will tell you, I am a fundamentally lazy person and these efforts to stay on top of things soon fall by the wayside.
This machine is called flange, and it's a 600 MHz G3 dual-USB white iBook with 640MB RAM (the maximum it will take) and a 20GB hard disk. I bought it just over two years ago and it is still running very well, having had few problems during its life. Considering the amount of time I have spent using it, it's doing very well indeed.
It currently runs Mac OS X 10.3.2, and upgrades happen rarely because I still use a dial-up modem connection. This is going to change in coming weeks, when I get a super new wireless broadband network set up in my home (of which you will no doubt hear more on these pages).
I am *very* fussy about software, and something of a flitter. If my browser annoys me for some reason, I will switch in an instant to a different one, until it annoys me too. My current set-up includes Eudora 6.1 for email, Camino 0.8 for browsing (with Mozilla on stand-by for certain sites), BBEdit 7 for text (although I'm seriously considering the upgrade to version 8), Graphic Converter for image editing, X-Chat Aqua for IRC nattering, and lots of other little apps for the other little things that happen less often.
I'm a very text-oriented person. My todo list is a text file that I edit in BBEdit. I keep notes and snippets in Notational Velocity, which stores everything as text, but I've often wondered about putting them into one huge text file and just using BBEdit's search feature to find my way around. I download text editors for the hell of it.
It's a simple sort of setup, but my needs are pretty simple. I'm a writer and journalist, and text is how I earn a living. Luckily, few of the editors I work for ever require the words I produce to be formatted, and in most cases I can just send plain text in the body of an email message. I love being able to work that way.
There are some other computers in my house. A PowerBook G4 on loan, a NeXTStation that I bought for peanuts from a guy down the road, an X86 box that used to run Windows and currently runs the the Lycoris Linux distribution (it was free with a magazine), and a Hewlett Packard Jornada 820 laptop/PDA. Plenty to keep me occupied.
So … anyone round here like talking about computer stuff?
Feel free to say hi

Jennifer Lopez doesn't tour very often and that's caused speculation that she can't sing live, but she IS actually touring this summer.
It's her first full-on world tour. She's reportedly doing 60 dates with Enrique Iglesias beginning this June in South America.
They're also expected to hit up the U.S., Europe and Asia. A full itinerary hasn't been released yet.
She'll probably end up hooking upw tih him too!

Rep. Akin loses Senate bid, doubles office payroll
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Former Missouri Congressman Todd Akin roughly doubled his office payroll after losing a campaign for U.S. Senate.
Salary figures available through the online tracking site Legistorm.com show Akin paid his 14-person staff nearly $400,000 in the final quarter of 2012. That's twice as much as the $200,000 quarterly payroll that Akin averaged through the rest of the year.
Former Akin communications director Steve Taylor said Monday that the bonus essentially was a separation package for staffers who lost their jobs because of the Republican congressman's defeat by Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill.
Taylor said Akin's staff had a rough final few months. He said staffers were inundated with hateful messages by people upset by Akin's remark that women's bodies had ways of avoiding pregnancy in what Akin described as "legitimate rape."

Posted by Jack Howser on Tuesday, August 21st, 2012 @ 11:42 am.SALINE CO.—Thanks to the concerted efforts of Saline County Assistant State's Attorney Eva Walker, convicted sex offender Brian K. Bowlby will be spending the rest of his natural life behind bars.
According to a press release submitted this morning by Saline County State's Attorney Mike Henshaw's office, this is what went down in court today, August 21, 2012:
Brian K. Bowlby, 37, formerly of Eldorado, was sentenced this morning by Saline County Circuit Judge Todd Lambert to 270 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for multiple sexual assaults of a child under the age of 13 between 2001 and 2003. Bowlby was convicted by a Saline County jury in February of 18 counts of Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault and one count of Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse.
Bowlby must serve 85 percent of the 270-year sentence.
Assistant State's Attorney Eva Walker prosecuted the case for the state.
Bowlby's case turned up all the freaks in the area (at least those who were related to him), whining on our website and others about how he was falsely accused of HAVING SEX WITH HIS OWN DAUGHTER WHEN SHE WAS BARELY OUT OF TODDLER STAGE. These freaks have continued the attacks on not only Disclosure, but on the daughter, who recently was ticketed in Hamilton County on a basic traffic violation; to show how sick these people are, they ragged on the girl after the ticket as if she were as bad a criminal as her father. Such attacks are to be expected under some circumstances…but when a guy has sex with his own kid, ample evidence is provided to a jury of 12, that jury finds that the incidents occur, and they convict him…the best bet is to probably let the victim go on about her life, as she's only just now 16.
Good job, Eva….it's not often that sex offenders get the type of sentence they deserve, but in this case, justice has been served.

Williams' family response

Subject: Curtis Williams
Hi Ken
This is Dave Williams I'm the brother of Curtis. The story in the Times was very disturbing to me. Most of what was written came as a shock to me. I had never heard about most of the troubles my brother was in. I'm really not surprised that I wasn't told as I'm the strict one in the family and would not have put up with that type of behavior from my family members. Stories like these need to come out but they need to come out sooner rather than later. Especially for me in Curtis' case I would like to have had a opportunity to help change his behavior. Now that the Times has open this can of worms, what's going to be done to fix future problem with this brand College Athletes? I would hope these articles were geared at effecting change so in the future we would not have read about the ongoing misconduct of college athletes.
When colleges are out recruiting athletes they look for the" Biggest, Meanest and Toughest" player they can find. They then bring them to a place( College Football Programs) that teaches them that they have to be violent, physical and intimidating if they want to be a contributing member of the team. That's being taught to young minds 6-8 hours a day. Football teaches them when pushed, you push back, when you get hit in the mouth you hit back. Some of them are not going to know where the "Football Field" ends and normal behavior begins. At age 18 to 22 some kids are not going to be able to control there emotions when they are under pressure. They are going to do what they have been taught, "Fight" no matter who the opposition is. Unfortunately in most cases that turns out to be those closet to the Athletes or the Communities around them.
The NCAA and the Universities have to become more involved. The NCAA is supposed to be there to help the College Athletes. If the passed 3 chapter written by the Times is not a cry for help then we just can't hear. It should be mandatory that all College football, Basketball and other physical sport athletes attend 4 years + of Anger - Behavior management classes. As long as they are a part of the Teams they should be required to attend these classes. I think the Universities and the NCAA has an obligation to the Athletes and the Communities that support the sports programs. Someone has to teach these young men how to be good citizen. Who better than the people who are benefiting from there action on the fields or courts. Universities owe it to the Athletes to teach them with the same tenacity how to control themselves off the field as they do on the field.
I apologize to Michelle and the City of Seattle for my brothers action.

Dear Nick Perry,
Thank you. Thank you for coming all the way to Alaska to ask me in person what happened to me so many years ago. Thank you for having the integrity to be honest with me from the get-go about what you were writing this story about before it was published. Thank you for understanding my concerns as a mother, my love for my daughter, and my deceased husband, Curtis. Thank you for your kind-heartedness, and your willingness to get to know me for me. I know that many will probably vilify you for being inquisitive and investigative. I don't.
As I told you when you were here, you're just doing your job. I respect that. To those that question, Curt was a wonderful man, athlete, husband, and father...when he wanted to be. Other times he wasn't. So what, I've put all this in the past and I have not let one person degrate him to this day in the precsence of our beloved daughter. Not once. Not ever. Yes, We had problems, we went our separate ways. That is just that. Nothing more, nothing less. Let Curt rest in peace. Please do not disrespect his memory or his legacy. I dont, and I don't wish for anyone else to either. May he rest in Paradise...
with love,
Michelle Williams

My name is Jeremiah Fyffe. My family recently moved to Orlando, FL, in order to apprentice at CrossPointe Church for church planting. My family will be planting a church in Central Florida in the next year, and you can help us with that! I am selling over 100 books for significantly less than Amazon.com prices. Because I am moving into church planting I am moving toward building a portable office, i.e. ebooks. By buying these books you are helping rebuild my portable library. All of the books I am selling are in mint or unread condition with no markings. There is a small sticker that I put on the front of each book (or on the title page) with my name shortly after I bought each book. Here's how it works:

Tests and diagnosis
By Mayo Clinic staffMost cases of cleft lip and cleft palate are immediately apparent at birth and don't require special tests for diagnosis.
Ultrasound to diagnose cleft lip and cleft palate before birth
Increasingly, cleft lip and cleft palate are being diagnosed by ultrasound before the baby is born. An ultrasound is a test that uses sound waves to create pictures of the developing fetus. When analyzing the pictures, a doctor may detect an abnormality in the facial structures.
Cleft lip may be detected with ultrasound beginning around the 18th week of pregnancy. As the fetus continues developing, it may be easier to accurately diagnose a cleft lip. Cleft palate that occurs on its own is more difficult to diagnose using ultrasound, since it can be difficult to see inside the fetus' mouth.
If fetal ultrasound shows a cleft, your doctor may offer a procedure to take a sample of amniotic fluid from your uterus (amniocentesis). Analyzing the fluid may reveal abnormalities that indicate the fetus has inherited a genetic syndrome that can cause other birth defects. However, most often cleft lip and cleft palate occur on their own.

My Profile
Sweden's Amaranthe is a metalcore band known for its mix of melodic pop and death metal. Formed in 2008, Amaranthe features several vocalists, with Eliza Reed and Jake E handling most of the soaring, clean vocals and Andreas Solveström taking care of the harsher, throatier vocal parts. Amaranthe released their debut self-titled album in 2011. In 2013, the band returned with The Nexus. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi
Selected Discography
How about all of them. Everyone of their songs is amazing. Glad I found them as well.
I just now found this band, but I've only heard one of their songs, can anyone tell me if their other songs are as good?
Simonsonite, Henrik Englund is taking Andy's place in the band.
It's a shame Andy is stepping down, I can respect his decision though. I wonder who the replacement is though...?
Amazing.... the bio should be longer though, way to good to be called metalcore in the first place in my opinion.
ksweetbug200 0
I got I signed poster from them!
^_^ <33
Can we get a much better bio written? Amaranthe came through with their first North American Headline tour this summer and it was well received. The band is very nice and I was able to walk right up to them after every show I've been to. In Munich I was able to buy a couple drinks for Andy (growler) and just chill talking about whatever. And surprisingly he recognized me in Toronto. I believe Chicago's radio station did an interview with them and just maybe we could get a better bio up here?
Elize is one of the sweetest most beautiful women in music ever, especially metal, and the rest of the band are genuinely great people & musicians... they're on tour in the US right now.
Elize Ryd is the hottest woman in all of metal today. I don't know who this Eliza Reed is. It's called fact checking
They're pretty great!!! \m/

This is a great blend of singers. The melody is a little repetitive, but not too annoying.
I love them so much!!! <333
I need möre Amaranthe ön my stätions!! They're pretty awesome!!!!! \m/ <333333
I like Amaranthe but I do admit I find some of their songs repetitive and they have similar melodies. If it weren't for the chicks vocals and the heaviness I probably wouldn't give them another listen.
It's bands like this that make me love Pandora- and for once I don't find a band that's been broken up for like 6 years!
Calms me down this one makes me feel alive I love this song n also awesome guitar solo
kylejoellewi s
All three vocalists work together beautifully. So unique and so good
I have never even heard of this band until now, I have been missing out. When did this awesome band come along?!
Not bad. This band rocks, a new favorite band! \m/ <3
Someone needs to tell the screaming dude he can't sing. The other 2 are good, he just brings the songs down.
Beautiful song with beautiful vocals by Elize
Awe inspiring--- e v e r y t h i n g about them is AWESOME

OTOH if you need support for how one application behaves with another, or with the OS itself, which the app producer may have little or no knowledge of, then that's where you need the support from the package distributer. This is frequently the case in my experience. Also there's nothing keeping you from submitting a bug to the product's bug tracking system. Add this to the fact that many people are actually paying for support from the distributer and not the producer, then it also makes more sense to contact the distributer. In the same way that I don't have to hunt down the producer of the of the battery in my laptop when it's faulty.. I contact the the laptop's manufacturer because that's where I got the battery.
> And for users it's quite disruptive to update everything 6 months to > get a new version of say... chrome and rhythmbox.
That's pretty distro-specific. Some distros don't have arbitrary time spans on package updates. :) Or you could always roll your own.

Jamie Chung wore head-to-toe American Eagle #AEOStyle while ice skating, tossing snowballs and going on a hot chocolate run with her friend's daughter in New York City recently. We're loving this classic sweater, snug-fitting jeans, and the pop of color in he beanie hat.
The trendsetting star looked cool and casual in her Fair Isle Crew Sweater and red Ribbed Beanie—both holiday pieces from the brand's "Legendary Gift" collection—completing the laidback look with a pair of the brand's signature destroyed Skinny Jeans. Below are additional details on her outfit as well as a link to download hi-res imagery of the individual pieces.

There's a new brand of denim in town, and they're talking big. AYR features brand director Maggie Winter (formerly of J.Crew) and design director Jacqueline Cameron (of Calvin Klein/Madewell), which already has the DT team's collective eyebrow raised. These ladies have worked with brands whose reputations for good looking, well-fitting jeans have many women salivating for each release, so they must be cooking up something good.
Aside from their denim offerings, the brand is committed to delivering on must-have wardrobe essentials year-round: the building blocks that ensure you always have a favorite go-to piece at hand. They're launching in spring 2014, and we'll be waiting.

Question:� What are the differences between Windows 32-Bit and 64-Bit operating systems?
Answer: Software and hardware developers create drivers and software solutions based on specific versions of operating systems and whether the OS is 32-Bit or 64-Bit. 32-Bit versions of Windows XP/Vista/7 can utilize up to 3.5 GB of memory (RAM). 64-Bit versions of Windows can utilize 4+ GB of memory.
The consumer and POS markets have been built around 32-Bit versions of Windows since the 32-Bit version has been the predominant OS on the market for over a decade. With the release of Microsoft�s newest operating system, Windows 7 (has 32-Bit and 64-Bit versions), more computer manufacturers are loading Windows 7 with the 64-Bit version of the operating system.
