Talking Points
Why should you eat local food? Ask three of Maine's food experts.
It was maine's most acclaimed chef, Sam Hayward, of Fore Street restaurant in Portland, who best articulated to the crowd at last fall's Maine Literary Festival precisely why Mainers need to buy and eat local food. "I say to everybody any chance I get that if you want to keep the state that you know and love — and want to keep it looking something like the landscape that we all worship — then you need to buy local food." Hayward and other experts, plus an audience of hundreds, had gathered in Camden for the three-day festival. After a special locally sourced "church supper," Hayward, chef Melissa Kelly of Primo in Rockland, and grower Polly Shyka of Village Farm, in Freedom, convened to discuss the ways in which they as food professionals take advantage of Maine's abundant natural and human resources — and how and why individual consumers can do the same.
On Thinking Like a Chef "At Primo we procure ingredients from farmer's markets and farmers and build relationships, while I think a lot of home cooks want to go to a supermarket because it's one-stop shopping and it's easy. We're just starting to see this resurgence in the United States of small butcher shops and bakeries. And to be able to support those small businesses as a home cook, you're going to end up with a much better product, and you're going to build your local economy all at the same time. Thinking like a chef in those ways — like procuring your ingredients from specialists — I think that would be a good way to start." —Melissa Kelly
On First Steps "Take small steps first. Russell Libby, who is the executive director of MOFGA, has been saying for years that Mainers should be spending just ten dollars a week on locally raised produce. If you think of the millions of dollars that would equate to over a year, it would be a real boost for Maine's agriculture economy. Think of buying local or sustainable produced apples to start. Then potatoes, and then tomatoes. Things that are staples within your diet that you know are at least seasonally available and very high quality." —Sam Hayward
On Restaurant Gardens "Primo sits on almost four acres and we have a little over two acres farmed organically. We have two greenhouses. One is 100 percent solar, and the second is heated with Maine-made biodiesel fuel — as is the whole restaurant. So we grow much of our own food. When you grow a garden you become very attached to the land. The land speaks to you: what it needs, what you give, what you take. It's a beautiful thing to be that connected to the food. I also work with farmers in the area. We buy our meat locally, we buy our dairy locally. We're really proud because the money comes back to our community. On Election Day people asked if I voted. I feel I vote every day with the choices that I make. I think we all do." —Melissa Kelly
On Local Assistance "In western Waldo County we had a pilot program called a community farm share where local towns were giving anywhere from one hundred to a thousand dollars to local farms. The towns were basically buying Consumer Supported Agriculture (CSA) shares for low-income families in our area. It was modeled after the Senior Share, where seniors can sign up for a free hundred dollars worth of produce for the season. It's a very exciting initiative in my mind. Quite a few of my CSA farmer friends often have shareholders who approach them who say, 'Can I buy an extra share and have you give it away to someone who needs it?' We've already had two families in our small CSA come to us and ask to provide that kind of direct farm support and low-income assistance to a local family. It's such an intelligent and hopeful direct connection." —Polly Shyka

Between edits like "Calling The Shots" on Crooked World BMX and keeping flatland alive, Catfish flies the M-claw logo globally with his FUEL TV show "Strangers in Danger," along with partner-in-crime Mike "Rooftop" Escamilla. From running on the roofs of trains in Bangladesh to pyro fights in El Salvador, Catfish did his best in 2012 to wreck himself – but always managed to bounce back behind the mic and pretty much every major BMX contest out there.

We have just aquired a 16m Bass strait crayboat built by Ted Bull at Metung around 1960.
Due to past neglect and lack of use her bows are beginning to open up and every dockside expert I speak to offers a different solution. I am not a huge fan of Sika and at the moment favour the idea of putting a garden sprinkler onto the deck hose and spraying daily. Then making up some red lead primer followed by red lead putty. which would be faired off once the wood has finished swelling.
Does anyone have a better idea ?
Also I plan to remove the brine tanks and create a saloon leaving the engine room bulkhead and the for'ard hydraulic and machinery room bulkhead intact. There is one central bulkhead which would have to be modified- how safe is this....?
Finally, once I have removed the niggerhead she will need rebalasting- with a 7 foot draft and 29 tons- She should carry a fair head of sail. I would love to gaff rig her - has anyone any experience with these magnificent vessels.
Many thanks guys

Village Hall fountain returning a year after being tipped over
LA GRANGE – The three-tiered fountain outside Village Hall is back and will be flowing soon almost a year after it was removed after being tipped over and cracked by a teenage boy.
The village received the new fountain from a contractor several weeks ago, but it had a cracked piece and had to be sent back. Now, the fountain is in place, and the village is in the process of connecting all pumps and mechanical parts, in addition to painting the inside of the water basin.
"The fountain serves as the center piece for a very popular destination point for people visiting downtown," Public Works Director Ryan Gillingham said. "We are just as anxious [as everyone] to get it back [running]."

Wanted to give a quick update...on Sunday night I was diagnosed with severe preeclampsia. Monday, I was induced and delivered my baby girl at exactly 34 weeks. She is currently in the nicu and is doing well. We named her Bella. I will be discharged tomorrow. With my first pregnancy I developed preclampsia at 34 weeks and was induced then. I can't believe it happened again at the same exact time.
I will update more tomorrow after I get settled in at home.

Like the songs of John Lennon, the Imagine Series is the perfect harmonization of music with creativity to achieve an end result that is much greater than the sum of its parts. The Imagine Series Limited Edition is modeled after the white Steinway grand piano that John presented to Yoko Ono on her birthday in 1971. Each piano incorporates John's signature, music, and a medallion indicating its uniqueness.
Steinway Commemorates a Legend...
Seven Different Limited Edition Series
The music desk of each piano incorporates one of seven different John Lennon original drawings. Come Together, the title of the opening track on the Beatles' historic album, "Abbey Road," reflects John Lennon's desire to bring people together. Grand Piano (No Longer Available) is a drawing that captures the songwriting process — as musician and piano become one. Freda People exemplifies John Lennon's passion for using music for the benefit of mankind. Self Portrait (No Longer Available) is perhaps John Lennon's most famous drawing — despite the simplicity, it's unmistakably John. Borrowed Time includes a sketch of an upright piano, such as the legendary Steinway on which Lennon composed "Imagine." Frog Pondering perfectly demonstrates a blend of the creative and playful sides of Lennon. In Power to the People, we see a combination of Lennon's love for freedom, as well as of New York, with his rendition of the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor.
The soundboard of every Imagine piano is graced by a full color decal, also based on a drawing from John Lennon.
A portion of the proceeds from every Imagine piano sold by Steinway & Sons will be donated to The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus.
Each Imagine Series piano is a unique work of art, with a medallion including John Lennon's Japanese signature as well as the series name and number. Adorning the cast-iron plate, in the area of the piano where this melody can come to life, are the opening bars to "Imagine."
A portion of the lyrics that changed the world grace the bass side of the inner rim, in clear view when the piano lid is open. On the treble side of the fallboard, John Lennon's signature can inspire you to Imagine the possibilities—both in music and in life.
Owning a Part of Music History
Custom built at our Steinway & Sons New York and Hamburg factories, the Imagine Series is only available from your Steinway Dealer. Whether you're a musician, a fan of John Lennon, or an art collector, this Limited Edition is both a majestic musical instrument and a completely unique work of art.
The Imagine Series is available in the following Steinway & Sons piano models:
K-52 / K-132 Upright | Model M Grand: 5'7" (170 cm) | Model O Grand: 5'10¾" (180 cm) |
Model A Grand: 6'2" (188 cm) | Model B Grand: 6'10½" (211 cm) | Model D Grand: 8'11¾" (274 cm) |

By the way Memphis hammered Miami (basically the same team that leads the ACC @ "the U" last year)...beat Duke by 28 or something...
Memphis was not itself on the defensive intensity category (but probably didn't expect Marshmellow to show up) but the Tigers played their "C" game and "W" = NEXT whereas a team that talent wise or if JP coached them might have 1 or 2 losses couldn't have played better/ 42 combined from Kane & Scarber also beat the Tigers on the boards, and uniquely on points off TOs....
BUT, the U of M (with one of the nation's best 10 straight winninng streak) did go 7-16 from three and Black & Crawford hit 4 straight BIG FT's to win...
The Tigers do have some very tough road games @ USM, @ UTEP, @ Xavier and if they show up @ Marshmellow.
and CUSA tourney @ Tulsa.GC is right as some very good teams lost to a lot of bad ones all week.... so the miserables love to be wanabees and take out their frustrations on Tiger message boards= we understand:
Since 2005-06 (Pastner in year #4)
Most Wins NCAA
1) Kansas
3) Duke
4) UNC (down 28 today in "L" at NC ST)
5) Ohio State
Seriously? Pastner wouldn't be anywhere near #2 if we played in a stronger conference.
Next year is make or break.

Sergio is KGBT's Interactive Manager and a reporter for VALLEYCENTRAL.COM.
A routine drug bust took a much more serious turn when a group of Border Patrol agents came under fire by Mexican gunmen in Starr County.
It all happened along the banks of the Rio Grande River just west of Roma on Wednesday.
U.S. Border Patrol agents were patrolling the area in SUVs when they came across a group of drug smugglers.
The smugglers tried to flee the scene and almost hit the Border Patrol agents prompting them to open fire on the suspects.
Gunmen from the Mexican side began to open fire on the Border Patrol agents, who returned fire.
It's not clear how many rounds were fired but the drug smugglers escaped leaving behind more than 4,000 pounds of marijuana worth more than $3 million dollars.
No Border Patrol agents were injured in the firefigh but it's not clear if any of the Mexican gunmen were injured or killed.
U.S. Border Patrol Chief Rosendo Hinojosa issued a statement where he noted the incident it took place in a rural area where civilians were not in danger.
"Assaults on our agents will not be tolerated," Hinojosa said. "Our agents are well-trained and equipped to deal with these types of volatile situations and they will respond with the appropriate force against all threats in order to ensure their safety and the safety of the communities they protect."
Border Patrols agents in nearby Rio Grande City seized another 2,000 pounds of marijuana worth $2.2 million dollars in an underground bunker hidden in a brushy area.
A third seizure south of the rural Starr County community of Garceño yielded nearly 1,400 pounds of marijuana $1.1 million dollars from another drug bunker.

Transfer News: Manchester City outbid for Mateo Kovacic by Inter Milan
By Jure Bohoric. Last Updated: 01/02/13 2:39pm
Mateo Kovacic: Midfielder has joined Inter Milan from Dinamo Zagreb
Dinamo Zagreb's vice-president Zdravko Mamic claims Manchester City were outbid by Inter Milan after Mateo Kovacic joined the Italian club earlier this week.
Kovacic has been compared to his compatriot and Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric and he had been linked with several of Europe's top clubs.
Mamic says Premier League champions City had previously tabled an €11million (£9.5m) offer, with Dinamo not actively looking to sell Kovacic.
However, Inter came in with several offers and an eventual bid of €13m (£11.2m) saw the teenager complete his transfer to the Serie A club before the transfer window closed.
"On Wednesday, Inter called me four times," Mamic told Jutarnji List. "But I told them not to come and that we will not talk to them.
"They knew about City's offer, which was €11m. But they were very persistent.
"I told them not to come to Zagreb, but they did, and they showed up at Maksimir Stadium at 18.00 on Wednesday.
"(Inter sporting director Marco) Branca and (Inter president Massimo) Moratti showed up at our offices and, at the end of the day, we sold them Kovacic for €13m."

I was looking to find the best place for my mother who was having difficulty with her vision to go for treatment. I looked up eye hospitals mumbai online to find her a place we both felt comfortable with. I know that vision is so very precious. Mom and I both have been diabetics for a number of years. High blood glucose levels can have a fast effect on your vision. I was not sure if it was mom's control of her diabetes or something else.
We scheduled an appointment for mom to be seen. It turned out that mom had cataracts. She was afraid, and I was also very concerned. Mom likes to paint and draw and do all things that are highly visually oriented. Thoughts of her not being able to read her favorite books flashed into my mind. She had already halted her art work and most of her reading a few weeks ago as the symptoms got worse. She told me it was like trying to see through a fog.
The doctor at the eye hospital assured us that a routine procedure can restore excellent vision. (more…)

It's goodbye turkey testicles and hello hotel bed as the winner is crowned!
They've eaten unspeakable things, attempted eye-watering challenges and cried a fair bit. And after three all-too-short weeks, it's time for the 2013 I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! king or queen of the jungle to be crowned. At the time of writing, The Only Way Is Essex star Joey Essex and Fresh Prince legend Alfonso Ribeiro were two of the famous faces predicted to win, but as is always the case, just who will take the leafy crown is anyone's guess. However, with Alfonso saying he would bust out his iconic 'Carlton' dance at the end of the series, we think the real winners will be us watching at home!

It's the time of doom and gloom
Well, well, well. Wasn't that something? Not sure what, but it was something.
Despicable? Passionless? Disappointing? Yeah, those words fit.
But here's one to think about, and some may yell at me for pointing it out, but it is best not to get too high after big wins nor too low after bad losses.
I'm sure there were people singing praises on Thursday who were booing on Friday and the mood swings will unquestionable continue for the next 34 games. It's what makes it so much fun to read comments and questions.
Here we go:
Action: Team chemistry
Reaction: Is it good enough?
Now, I'm not suggesting these guys don't like each other and there's never been an issue of tempers flaring or fingers pointed (except for the night Chris Bosh killed Jamario Moon in Atlanta) but there just seems something amiss.
Try to remember the last time this team played with joy, with some obvious love for the game, looking like they were truly having fun out there.
There may be a minute or two during each game but consistently? Nope. And until they get that kind of all-for-one, one-for-all passion on a regular basis, there will be more nights like last night.
And that was no fun for anybody.
So Super Son's checking out the paper this morning and he's looking at the NBA standings and he says:
"The Raptors looking really sad down there second from the bottom."
Action: The refereeing
Reaction: Bad, but so what?
Yes, the crew of Monte McCutchen, Courtney Kirkland and Leroy Richardson did not distinguish themselves – inconsistency, odd calls, missed calls – but to suggest they had much to do with the outcome is to diminish the sadsack performance of the locals.
And while the call on Jermaine O'Neal for driving his knee into a Buck while trying to make a layup was particularly confusing, it really had no bearing on the outcome of the game. The Raptors were down 17 at time and unless they made the right call and made it a 14-shot foul, I don't think a rally was in the cards.
It was kind of refreshing to hear Jay after the game say he'd made a mistake by leaving Bargnani on the bench so long in the first half. Of course, it would have been far more refreshing if Jay had been talking about a career night by Bargnani, which he might have got had he played a few more first-half minutes.
They weren't exactly dancing in the streets in Milwaukee, but they were feeling pretty good, as this story indicates.
Action: O'Neal's ejection
Reaction: First time since …
Can you remember the last time a Raptor was tossed from a game?
I barely could. It was March of last year, in Utah, when T.J. Ford went berserk during a game in Salt Lake City.
Ah, the good old days.
When good Chickens go bad
Check this out if you haven't already seen it.
Best leprechaun story: M. Grange ™ ducks his head into an establishment in New Orleans during all-star weekend festivities a year ago and what's he see? The leprechaun doing back flips off the stage into the crowd while the band belts out a Journey tune.
No, he was not in uniform.
The Chicken, I mean; not Mike.
A point well made:
Q: This is probably an impossible question for you to answer, but has there ever been another case where a player got ejected on his own bobblehead night? I think the fans in attendance may have witnessed history.
Alex H, Toronto
A: Yes, it is impossible to check and I can't remember one anecdotally but it is pretty cool to think the fans might have seen history. That's about the only good thing they saw Friday night.
Action: Two free throws
Reaction: A typical failing
With 7:37 left in the third quarter, Francisco Elson committed a foul that was Milwaukee's fourth of the quarter.
Perfect time for the Raptors, down seven at the time, to pound the ball inside, get into the penalty and start living at the free throw line, right?
Wrong, Bonus Breath (A little Johnny Carson for the oldsters).
They shot precisely two foul shots the rest of the quarter, by Anthony Parker after he fouled on a fast break with 46.8 seconds left.
In that time, the play-by-play shows 22-foot jumper, 16-foot jumper, 13-foot pull up, a 16-foot jumper, a 21-foot jumper and three missed Bargnani layups.
Action: Jose's streak
Reaction: You knew it had to end
With all the stories and videos and chatter these past couple of weeks about Jose's string of consecutive free throws, I'm surprised the streak lasted as long as it did.
From the department of Beating A Dead Horse:
Q: Please tell us dedicated Raptor/NBA fans that there is SOMETHING we can do to speed up these so-called 'negotiations' regarding Rogers and TSN2. If you come across any unified front (petitions, protests, mass sign making project) please inform your readers. This has gone on long enough. If you're unaware of anything, please let me know and I am going to look into starting something. If Rogers is banking on the fact that most subscribers won't go out of their way to cancel their subscription, then maybe that's just what we'll need to do. To some people this is "just" basketball, but to a loyal fan this is like telling someone they can't order their favourite meal even though it's clearly available on the menu.
Stan C, Toronto
A: There's nothing you can do except stop giving Rogers or Maple Leaf Sports your money (you don't give it directly to TSN so I can't include them in an economic boycott).
You, and tens of thousands of others, are being screwed by three giant companies that exist primarily to make money for themselves and any garbage they give you about customer service is just that: Garbage 'cause when it counts, they disappear and go count their money.

Can you summarize the good reasons for using Xine for playback of non-HD video, when MPlayer could do it instead (or maybe it can't)?
Because Xine is doing it already? Why fix it if it's not broken?
My thoughts on the whole appliance/package separation effort is that right now I'd be happier to see development effort going into fixing all the annoying bugs and terrible GUI problems which make even simple operations almost impossible - e.g. girlfriend wants to find episode of Heroes called "5 years ago", or wants to watch an in progress recording - both of these things are actually quite difficult. The fact that under the hood a peice of code has been changed to be distro agnostic is at this stage in time wholly unimportant to me. I appreciate that is the goal, but surely that is the FINAL goal. In between we actually need to get the think to play TV/movies and do HA reliably and intuiively, which right now it doesn't really do.
Anyone agree?
I agree totally. The problem is that we have a community made up of people with a wide range of expectations for LinuxMCE. They range from the people who just want to code 'cool new' things... for the sake of well... 'coolness' (if there is such a word ;-) ) and dont use the system really that muxh to those at the other end of the spectrum who just want to use the system and want reliability and cleanup of what they expected LinuxMCE to be when they got started with it!
We need to keep both of these diverse groups happy and engaged with LinuxMCE... we need people at both ends of this spectrum. If we don't serve all these diverse needs we will become similar to a group of Master Woodworkers discussing the best way to 'sharpen' our tools or make a better join between two pieces of wood!
We probably need to organise things around releases so that the 'engineering' crowd here have a set of goals to aim for and a defined feature-set and path to travel along. Then there is a path which is focussed on delivering fixes etc and making sure the system delivers usable capability. Someone needs to become the 'product manager' for each of these and take charge of whats in and whats out. In the end you need someone to make the decision.
Anyway I will stop rumbling on now!

I've got a question on a related note with regards to xine/mplayer... why not make it an option like in mythtv.. where you can say files with extension .*** use mplayer and files with .*** use xine... give the end user the choice.... would that involve a great amount on coding?

because it's not that simple, different media players need to be used depending on both the type of media and the destination. In a properly designed system, the media players expose their capabilities, and the system makes the appropriate choice. This should not be deviated from, and would only cause reliability issues long term should such a feature be exposed.

that would be fine with me... if the system determines the best player and automatically chooses it.. but my understanding is that in 7.10 mplayer is only used for HD playback... that's not going to help with video files that are SD but won't play in xine.. but would in mplayer..

the thing is, LMCE is being shifted into community process.. We need people to help take this thing apart and understand it.
we need more developers.. I'm hoping to be one of the guys down in the mud... (I'm still trying to get my dev environment to build correctly)...
but it will get done. :-)

Hi all
here I put my 0,2 c.
I've nothing against Xine or Mplayer (and nothing special in favour of one of them)
My concern as a user and as a semi-tech is pretty performance oriented.
To me it is not that important if my videos are played by Xine or Mplayer, but it is very important to get decent performance even without having to buy a core duo box for each MD.
From what I've seen many of us are oriented to use small factor MD (the majority of which are VIA based, like Fiire Station), and this sounds as a very reasonable choice to keep cost not too high and to keep the whole system appealing to general audience.
So the choice between Xine or Mplayer (and in general all choices, regardless of "appliance" vs "package" vs "distro" perspective) should be driven by this consideration first, i.e. performances against "normal" hw.
In the specific case of video playback, Xine_Player already gave proof to be a bit unefficient (if I launch Xine itself outside LMCE it consumes way less CPU compared as when launched from LMCE ).
My fear is that a lot of efforts have been made to write a MPlayer_Player wrapper and (I'd happy to be wrong..) no effort has made to improve Xine_Player, so in the end we have a more complicated system that can play HD content but still has some glitches playing simple stuff.
Can anyone shed some light on this?

Exactly. Development effort is being watered out adding more features which only partly work, rather than getting the current software to work properly. Though if the community want this then there's no real sense arguing about it. I guess people are voting by deciding to code things like mplayer support!

There are immediate concerns to be dealt with in the abstract Media Plugin itself!
open the code, look at the base Media_Player.cpp ....
experienced OO coders will almost immediately see the problem:
there are tons of if statements leaking knowledge of the plugins below into the abstract code, and killing off encapsulation, thus making a tight locked dependency with the plugins below (this is especially evident with the HD-DVD code, that explicitly short circuits the entire process to force mplayer to be used.), this is very wrong, and should be rectified immediately. I would like to say this is an isolated incident, but there are bits of stuff like this all over the code, written by coders who try to bandage on functionality to suit their immediate need, without trying to understand how to do it properly! (I would also argue that stuff like this would be completely avoided in a dynamic, late-bound language, the polar opposite of C++, but still...)
We need to refactor, and we need to do it as soon as we re-sync 0710 with Pluto, or we're going to have severe migraine sized headaches later on as we start to add the very functionality that some of you are describing!

Design choices are valued by their results in feature performance. But I also look at the costs of delivering those features over the long term. So I'm interested in whether MPlayer can assume all Xine's functions, now that MPlayer is (seems to be) a complete superset of them, and MPlayer is a much more active independent development project than the fairly inactive Xine project. Since the "bet on MPlayer" decision has already produced a wrapper for MPlayer that seems to give it architectural interchangeability with Xine,
These are considerations about choices
for developers
(like me). I don't think LMCE should have choices between different media players (or similar kinds of choices) available to consumers, except maybe at installation time. And even then, it's probably better for consumers to select one completely separately packaged installer for one combo of components that are selected for one scenario rather than a few alternatives defined by other usage scenarios, rather than letting an installer give them choices that will most likely confuse them. Mostly because different packaged scenario combos is easier to develop than some AI installer
If MPlayer is now actually interchangeable (with some reasonable quantity of straightforward porting), I'd like to investigate unifying the players into just MPlayer to factor and simplify that functionality. Especially because there are going to be more changes to the Media_Player API as more functions are integrated over time (eg. telephony functions in a UI while video plays, even videophone, or integrating videogames with other simultaneous A/V...). It'll be better for everyone if there's just a single media player to keep delivering those functions, rather than a stable of them,
if that's possible
Which is why I'm trying to find out whether Xine still offers any functions that MPlayer doesn't (the actual apps, not any possible fixable limits of their wrappers). If it does, and MPlayer is not really simply a superset of Xine functions, then there's no point trying to merge/factor them. But if there is, I'm interested. I don't expect anyone else to follow me, but if I do deliver a version factored to just MPlayer with all the functionality of Xine+MPlayer, then that's my own time wasted for everyone's benefit, right
? That's what drives OSS: mutual interest in each other's pet projects. Or just talk me into helping with
pet project, because it's more interesting than mine.

yes, lots. proper DVD menu support for one,
but again, you're missing the point...
The customer only cares if it does what it's supposed to do, the customer is NOT going to be selecting the media player, the software is!

Why don't you spend some time, actually looking through the code... and seeing how the system, for example, routes messages for media.
The reasons why the architecture is like this, will surprise you, because even at this point all of the different media delivery software out there is designed for different audiences, and different needs....
it was easier, for example, to use vlc and vls for media streaming...but there are situations for example, that nbd needs to be used (for example, to expose a DVDCSS protected DVD to a media director on the other side of the house, that's in a jukebox not even connected to the system that's playing it!), the system decides...not the user...the best path through the network of devices, plugins, and players needed to accomplish a goal.... and I suggest spending a month or two, (I've spent much longer), studying the code itself...because otherwise, you're in way over your head.

Well, that's worthwhile, though it won't really answer the question "what does Xine still do that MPlayer can't?" At least not nearly as effectively as getting some more experienced developers, like perhaps yourself, to dump to web pages how that stuff works, as any kind of guide.
The more I look at the project, the more it looks like the most productive help the community could get at this stage would be a note attached to every bug in Mantis indicating how the reported use case's critical path calls which series of code scopes, or at least which files, or at least which function is called by a GUI init. There are only a couple dozen block || crash || major bugs in Mantis, they've practically all got developers assigned to them. If each of those people just noted which files are (the most likely culprits) in the scope of the debuging task, then other people could help, and it would all be the best intro to the code.
If you want to kick it off, would you mind updating the Xine wiki page to mention the Xine_player wrapper, Media_player.cpp , whatever generates the Orbiter and Adminsite GUIs with controls that trigger Xine, the glue code from the GUIs to the Media_player.cpp ? Or at least just which code the GUIs call that eventually calls Media_player.cpp which then calls either Xine or MPlayer. This abstract discussion should be in terms of the code, and more veteran's time should be spent tipping off newcomers to which code, so we can work togther.
As another example, this Xine vs MPlayer redundancy looks like a similar redundancy/drift
problem is polluting the code that rips CDs
. There appears to be different code for ripping from an IDE CD-ROM than the code for ripping from a jukebox, different code for ripping multiple CDs or just a single CD from the jukebox. Some of those 3 use cases are properly using the target format configs, but the "rip multiple" is not. If the redundancies were factored out, that bug would be much easier to fix, if it appeared at all. Of course the code actually needed to accommodate single ripping for either IDE and jukebox might be one program, and multiple jukebox rip another, or more likely ripping IDE should be separate from single/multiple (with modes) jukebox, or probably the best is simply a single ripper that calls different HW as specified, wrapped in a loop. To say nothing of the factoring that would mean I don't have to set the rip target format in the Adminsite, then switch to the Orbiter to actually rip. I would be fixing (perhaps totally rewriting) that code right now (I already did something just like it for my old custom system), but my bug report hasn't even been touched.
The more I think about it, the more it seems this project would benefit most from people familiar with the code just walking through the bug reports and noting which files are the likely culprits for others to investigate.

but again, you're missing the point...
The customer only cares if it does what it's supposed to do, the customer is NOT going to be selecting the media player, the software is!
FWIW, I specifically said the user shouldn't be picking the SW, so I don't think I'm missing the point at all. I'm just talking about simplifying the architecture so it doesn't support two redundant video players, just because a new one was added for its increased functionality without removing the other superfluous one. Which is a benefit to developers, who can then bring benefits to users.

- News Flash: Planet Earth invaded by its Creator, not with the force of justice and judgment; but with mercy, love, humility. The Creator comes in human flesh, not in a royal palace, but in an animal stable -- not with a demonstration of His power and authority, but subject to the circumstances of a Babe born under questionable conditions to a poor mother. Yet 20 centuries later, the world slows down, work stops, families gather on the day set aside to remember that God invasion. One Babe began a movement that continues to our time -- a movement that has made millions of men and women better than they would have been without beholding the Christ. Transformed by Jesus, by God in the flesh -- made new, set free, personally invaded by the Spirit, now rejoicing, not in stuff, and tinsel, and traditions both religious and secular; but rejoicing in relationship with the Babe, now the Lord, Savior, Master!

- It is almost the time when multitudes around the world, believers and non-believers alike, celebrate the day named for Jesus Christ, in honor of His birth. Rejoice that Christ was born! What a difference He has made in this world! What a difference He has made in the life of millions of people from various cultures and time periods during the past 2,000 years! What a difference Jesus has made in my life! The Christ*mas events are about people experiencing Christ. The shepherds didn't just hear about Christ, they sought Him out. The same with the wise men. Jesus Christ can still be experienced in the 21st Century! Supernatural events are still happening! "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever." So, what about it? Should we have a Christ cameo Christmas? Or A Christ controlled Christmas? A cameo is brief (usually non-speaking) appearance of a well known person in a work of performing art, like a play, a movie, or a TV show. Will Christ make a brief, non-speaking appearance in your Christmas festivities this year? Or will your Christmas activities be totally focused on Him? Or something in between?

Researching Round-The-World (RTW) airfares is as easy as choosing your favourite destinations; the places you'd like to visit (or re-visit) the most.
When I first started travelling around the world, I used to phone up travel agents during working hours to try and get the best-priced open-jaw airline tickets that would allow me to fly into one place, travel overland, and then fly out of another.
Now we can find those cheap flight tickets online, any time of day or night.
Around The World Airfares
If you're searching for an easy solution to plan and price your custom route for a Multi-Stop International or Around-the-World journey then you've come to the right place.
Choosing where to travel around the world is easier than you think, especially when you use online tools to start your Trip Planning.
Create a Route by choosing the region you intend to depart from, and then your departure city.
Once you've added the cities you'd like to visit, you'll be presented with the best options based on your original city list.
Often, the least expensive routing requires that you transit through certain gateway cities. Your requested cities will be shown in black; with inserted cities shown in blue.
You can change your route slightly, to save money, or get more bang for your buck with even more suggested destinations thrown in - for not a lot of extra outlay.
Once you submit your trip, a travel counsellor can help you fine-tune your itinerary, check flight availability, and finalise your booking. He or she can also suggest options that could help you get more out of your trip - and maybe save you even more money.
Some Airtrekking Ideas
Here are some typical Round-the-World routes to give you some ideas. You can modify the RTW flight paths as you choose.
Classic Around The World Route: New York - London - Rome - (overland) - Athens - Bangkok - New York.
Classic Circle Atlantic: Miami - Lima - Sao Paulo - Rio de Janeiro - Lisbon - London - Miami.
Classic Circle Pacific: Los Angeles - Papeete (Tahiti) - Auckland - Brisbane - Denpasar (Bali) - Singapore - (overland) - Bangkok - Hong Kong - Los Angeles.
South East Asian Splendors: San Francisco - Ho Chi Minh (Saigon) - Siem Reap (Angkor Wat) - Bangkok - Koh Samui - Phuket - Kuala Lumpur - Denpasar (Bali) - San Francisco.
Wildlife Spectacular: Chicago - Bangkok - Delhi - Nairobi - Cairo - London - Chicago.
Cultural Hotspots: New York City - Rome - Athens - Cairo - Mumbai (Bombay) - (overland) - Varanasi - Kathmandu - Bangkok - Siem Reap (Angkor Wat) - Ho Chi Minh (Saigon) - Bangkok - Auckland - Papeete (Tahiti) - Easter Island - Santiago - Lima - Cusco - Miami - New York City.
Endless Summer: Los Angeles - San Jose - Sao Paulo - Johannesburg - (overland) - Cape Town - Kuala Lumpur - Denpasar (Bali) - Brisbane - Auckland - Nadi (Fiji) - Los Angeles.
The Southern Walkabout: New York City - Buenos Aires - Cape Town - (overland) - Johannesburg - Mauritius - Perth - (overland) - Sydney - Christchurch - (overland) - Auckland - Nadi (Fiji) - Los Angeles - New York City.
As the Spirit Moves You: Los Angeles - Denpasar (Bali) - Bangkok - Kathmandu - Delhi - Amman - Istanbul - Rome - Los Angeles.
Super Around-the-World: Chicago - London - (overland) - Athens - Cairo - Nairobi - Johannesburg - Cape Town - Mumbai (Bombay) - Kathmandu - Bangkok - (overland) - Singapore - Sydney - Auckland - Nadi (Fiji) - Rarotonga (Cook Islands) - Los Angeles - Chicago.
UK and European Departures: Of course you don't have to start your Round The World journey from the United States. Your could take off from London or almost anywhere in Europe.
Business Class RTW airfares also available.

When he first was recruited he had UK top 5, and near top bc they offered him first, but knew if Bama or Auburn offered then everyone else might as well go home.
I highly doubt he evens considers UK, or takes a visit, but I would like to be completely wrong on this one.
His name alone warrants a 5* rank.
stevendoubleu said...
After doing more research, I am not too sure about this one. Considering he decommitted after last weekends visit to Bama... reading between the lines.
Actually aubarn was doing quite well in recruiting for a coaching change and terrible season, so maybe the hammer is dropping and we will see some exiting of other aubarn recruits.
Talked to a buddy who's big Auburn, not an insider, but more in tune with this situation. Says the Liner kid lives in a very pro-Bama area and was also arrested twice last summer along with his mother (once.) Says Bama will surely take him, but they will do so guardedly. Same as what AU was doing.

Two Useful Commands for Your Linux Server
Productivity Sauce
Want to back up files and documents on your laptop or desktop PC to a server? Assuming both machines run Linux, you can do that with just one command. First, install SSH server on the server and rsync on your machine. Both tools are available in the software repositories of most mainstream Linux distributions, so you can install them using your distro's package manager. Open then the terminal on your machine and run the following command:
rsync --progress -avhe ssh --delete /path/to/local/dir user@host:/path/to/remote/dir
Replace user with the name of the existing user on the server and host with the IP address of the server. Also, replace /path/to/local/dir with the path to the directory on the machine you want to back up and /path/to/remote/dir with the path to the backup directory on the server. For example, the command below backs up the home directory on my laptop to a BUBBA TWO server with the 192.168.107 address:
rsync --progress -avhe ssh --delete /home/dmpop email@example.com:/home/storage/backup
Using your server to serve files also requires only one command, but you need to do some preparatory work before you can use it. Start with installing the sshfs package on your machine. On Debian-based distros, this can be done by running the apt-get install sshfs command as root. Next, run the id command and note the uid and gid values for your account (e.g., uid=1000 gid=1000). Use then the following command to mount a server directory on your machine:
sshfs user@host:/path/to/dir /mountpoint -o idmap=user -o uid=1000 -o gid=1000
Replace user with the name of the existing user on the server and host with the IP address of the server. Replace the /path/to/dir with the path to the desired directory on the server and /mountpoint with the directory on your machine that will be used as a mount point. For example, to mount the /home/storage/documents directory on my Bubba Two server in the /home/dmpop/bubba directory on my laptop, I use the following command:
sshfs firstname.lastname@example.com:/home/storage/documents /home/dmpop/bubba
Once the directory has been mounted, you can use the files in it as they were on your own machine. To unmount the directory, use the fusermount command as follows:
fusermount -u /mountpoint

Survey: Coming off tranquillizers/sedative medications: We are trying to understand how, why and when people stop, or reduce, their tranquillizers/sedative medications and what information would be helpful to people who are thinking about stopping or reducing these medications. By completing this survey, you will be helping is put together a new leaflet. Thank you.
Anxiety is the feeling of fear that we get when faced with threatening or difficult situations. It can help us to avoid danger. It makes us more alert and gives us the energy to deal with problems. But if the anxiety is too strong or is there all the time, then it can be a real problem. Anxiety disorders affect about one in 10 people.
A sudden surge of intense anxiety that can come out of nowhere.
A phobia is a fear of a situation, or object, that are not dangerous, and which most people do not find troublesome.
A sudden, overwhelming sense of fear and loss of control. You breathe quickly, feel your heart pounding, sweat, and may feel that you are going to die. You get out of the situation as quickly as you can.
You get strong feelings of anxiety in the particular situations that frighten you. So if you have a phobia of dogs, you feel anxious when there are dogs around, but feel OK at other times. You tend to avoid the situations that make you anxious - this makes the phobia worse as time goes on. Your life can become dominated by your fear and the precautions you take to avoid such situations. You will usually realise that there is no real danger and may even feel silly about your phobia, but you can't control it.
... and you may also feel depressed
Anxiety and panic are often lead to depression, when you feel down, lose your appetite and see the future as bleak and hopeless.
You can learn to relax with a self-help group or professionals or teach yourself with books, CDs and DVDs (see our main leaflet), based on cognitive therapy. Regular practice will help you to relax more easily and more quickly.
Talking it through. You may not want to talk to family members about your phobia or feelings of anxiety - but it can help. Ask a friend or relative whom you trust and you respect, and who is a good listener. They have had the same problem, or know someone else who has.
Self-help groups. Talking to people with similar problems can be good because they understand what you are going through. They may be able to suggest ways of coping.
There is a more intensive talking treatment which can help you to understand and control your anxiety. The treatment can take place in groups or individually. Most groups are based on cognitive behavioural therapy and Mindfulness techniques.
Tranquillizers: These include the benzodiazepines, like diazepam and most sleeping tablets. They are very effective, but can be addictive, even after just a couple of weeks. Ideally, they should not be taken for longer than 2 weeks.
Antidepressants: They usually take two to four weeks to make a difference. They can cause nausea, drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth and constipation.
Beta blockers: can be used in low doses to control the physical shaking of anxiety.

Public and private schools alike are realizing that "going green" is sensible. The average green school can save an estimated $100,000 per year in operational & maintenance costs. That is sufficient savings to provide two new teachers, buy 200 new computers or purchase 5,000 new textbooks.
By promoting the greening of all schools - new or existing - we can make a tremendous impact on student health, test scores, teacher retention, school operational costs and the environment.
