Some of Hollywood's hottest writers lend their talents to this richly animated Batman anthology, featuring entries by David Goyer, Josh Olson, and Alan Burnett. With six stories in all, GOTHAM KNIGHT offers thrilling interpretations of the Caped Crusader, rendered in a style that recalls the dark and lurid lines of Japanese anime. Together, these interconnecting tales trace Batman from his early days battling evildoers in crime-plagued Gotham, to his later years as the metropolis's trusted defender. Along the way, the Dark Knight has shadowy showdowns with some of his most fearsome enemies, including Scarecrow, Killer Croc, and Dead Shot. Chock-full of explosive action sequences and bat gadgets, this continuation of the Batman saga is sure to bowl over both comic book nerds and fans of the feature films.

Comments about Nalgene Travel Bottle Kit - Medium:
These are great when you don't want to transport full-size bottles such as to the gym, hiking, camping, or travel. However, three of the bottles are too large to comply with the TSA's 3-1-1 bag. If you're interested in the set only for carry-on, the Nalgene Small Travel Bottle Kit is better - if only REI offered it.
Despite everynameistaken's review, the capacity IS labeled on the bottom of each container in oz and ml though you may have to hold it just right to see it, so please don't let that put you off from buying this great set for air travel.
Best Uses
Comments about Nalgene Travel Bottle Kit - Medium:
These are very high quality bottles, and I recommend them as long as you are aware of one problem: they don't have the ounce capacity on the bottles (except with stickers that can come off) so the TSA can reject them. Of course this is a stupid TSA rule, but that's no surprise. If the bottle doesn't say on it that it is 3 oz. or less, the TSA can (optionally, most likely, so some TSA officials might choose to be reasonable about it) just assume it is more than 3 ounces. (Even though, when you do that job all day every day you can probably tell a 3 ounce bottle from a 4 ounce bottle at a glance with no effort, as easily as the rest of us can identify a 12 ounce can of Coke from any other size. I've gotten bottles from other places that have the capacity in raised letters, so there's no sticker to fall off or wear out or come off when you wash the bottles. Unfortunately the other store's product was very low quality compared to these. If Nalgene did the same thing with these bottles I'd certainly give them five stars.
Best Uses
Comments about Nalgene Travel Bottle Kit - Medium:
This set is a staple for backpacking. I can keep some Dr. Bronners soap in it, Syrup for pancakes, sugar for cooking, and sunscreen instead of taking an entire bottle.Since these are obviously used for travelling, you can fill each one with a different shampoo, conditioner etc..then just take only what you need for a backpack trip. They don't leak, very strong and almost crush-proof, and lightweight. I just wish these were a little more prominent and visible online and in the store. I found them on A···on for five dollars MORE and only then did a search at REI. otherwise i would of never known about them. Iv'e been using empty 5hour Energy bottles for backpacking, but these don't squeeze and are a little heavier.
Best Uses
Comments about Nalgene Travel Bottle Kit - Medium:
I have tried all sorts of travel bottles, and this particular kit from Nalgene is by far the best. I've taken Nalgene travel bottles on several international trips to third world countries, and I almost always usually put them in my toiletry bag in my checked luggage. So they are getting tossed around and man-handled and exposed to a variety of temperatures.
These have NEVER leaked or spilled out at all compared to all other containers I've tried. I don't even bother to put them in extra zip lock bags (like I used to with my other travel bottles), I'm that confident they will not spill or leak in my luggage.
I also use these in my small shower kit for the gym. It's great because I just fill them up with my regular bath products.
I especially like this kit because it includes extra "squeeze" lids for two of the bottles. These work really well if you want to put lotion in the bottle, or another thicker substance. I've left these squeeze lids on during transport as well, and they have never leaked either.
I have noticed that over time (we're talking 3+ years) they will get a little discolored if you leave the bath products sitting in them like I do. So I'm going to continue to use my older bottles at the gym, and I'm getting a new kit for my upcoming trip to Colombia. I wouldn't leave home without it!
Best Uses
Comments about Nalgene Travel Bottle Kit - Medium:
Five years ago I picked these up for toiletry dispensers and found them so useful I packed more with spices and condiments for long sea voyages and bike touring. The space and weight advantages over having full-sized (and sometimes even prepackaged travel-sized) bottles and jars should be apparent to most. Being able to choose my favorite shampoo over whatever sample size might be available was a big selling point; so was having fresh white peppercorn or rosemary after four months of navy chow. These little bottles have withstood long drops onto metal decks, being stepped on, and being accidentally thrown across rooms with no noticeable damage.
My nitpicks: lid retainers would be a nice feature. Trying to find a dropped screw top in lowlight conditions is painful - especially when you step on them.
The bottles will stain depending on the contents. The chipotle hot sauce I jealously guarded and rationed over a deployment left an orange tint to one of my squeeze bottles that has yet to come out after many washings.

Preventing Hair Loss – Tips And Tricks You Need To Know
Prior to going and acquiring few merchandise from sites similar to: this site you should read some common data under. In most cases, people want to keep their hair healthy and full. Not everyone can have this happen. In some people, their genetics or biology plays a large role in this occurrence. There are many things you can do to prevent hair loss. To keep it away as long as possible, you can do certain things that will prevent hair loss from happening too early in life. Now let's look at some ways to prevent hair loss, remedies that can actually prevent its occurrence in many people.
There are many habits that cause thinning and breaking of hair, and you should avoid them. One thing that is bad for your hair, is to pull it back too tightly. Some women pull their hair back so tightly that it actually pulls out at the roots. Follow the tips in this article and you have a good chance of recovering any of the hair you have already lost. It could fall out permanently, if you do not takes steps to prevent it from happening. Once your hair gets pulled out of a follicle too many times it will stop growing. There are many ways to pull the hair off of your face that do not damage the hair.
Some women use hot curling irons and almost fry their hair. When people use hot rods to straighten their hair, it does a lot of damage. Permed hair can be very damaging. Hot oils and ironing of our hair are others. If you change the structure of your hair for styling purposes it may be a high price to pay. Chemicals are very damaging to our hair. Not only do the chemicals damage the hair but the scalp as well. All people would like to look like the models in magazines. We should strive to be our best all of our life, not just when we are young.
If you shower in the morning, or in the evening, by rubbing coconut oil or argan into your scalp, this can actually work wonders. The massage will stimulate blood flow in your scalp and to your hair follicles.
If you put coconut oil or argan in your scalp, it will help stimulate your hair to grow from the follicle. It could even stimulate them the follicles to produce hair at a faster rate. You should not worry about the oil mixing with your scalp oil, or making a mess. The mess will be cleaned up after you shower.
If you want to avoid hair loss, there are many ways that you can potentially stop this from occurring.
Genetic hair loss is something that has no remedy. If you have something else causing your hair loss, fixing that is a possibility. If you're hair is thinning, you should do what we have discussed and perhaps it can help. As you continue to do your research you'll find plenty of other things that you can do to increase your hair's health and longevity.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? Disenchanted with the daily drudge of crushing rocks on a prison farm in Mississippi, the dapper, silver-tongued Ulysses Everett McGill (George Clooney, THE PERFECT STORM) busts loose. Except he's still shackled to his own chain-mates from the chain gang -- bad-tempered Pete (John Turturro, SUMMER OF SAM), and sweet, dimwitted Delmar (Tim Blake Nelson, HAMLET). With nothing to lose and buried loot to regain -- before it's lost forever in a flood -- the three embark on the adventure of a lifetime in this hilarious offbeat road picture. Populated with strange characters, including a blind prophet, sexy sirens, and a one-eyed Bible salesman (John Goodman, COYOTE UGLY), it's an odyssey filled with chases, close calls, near misses, and betrayal that will leave you laughing at every outrageous and surprising twist and turn.

Kingston quietly made an addition to the SSDNow V+ series solid state drives (SSDs), the SSDNow V+ 512 GB (SNVP325-S2B/512GB). The new drive offers 512 GB of storage in its existing 2.5" form-factor. It uses multi-level cell (MLC) NAND flash chips, a controller that supports SATA 3 Gb/s and USB 2.0, and offers read/write speeds of 230/180 MB/s. It is available both as packages with just the drive, and in a bundle which includes SATA power and data cables, 3.5" to 2.5" spacers, USB cable, and a 2.5" enclosure which makes it portable. The bare drive is priced at roughly $1598 (US), and the bundle at roughly $1698. Source: TechConnect Magazine
thats nice, but dam at the price tag. i wouldnt mind having that, give it 2-3 yrs and well be paying 70 bucks for 2 terabyte ssd drives
Ignoring the unsuprising high initial price for the SSD alone i think that $100 extra for some cables and a caddy is a little excessive.
stoopid price. you could buy a 5 of 128gb drives and raid-0 them for far more speed and slightly more capacity for that kind of money.
Very few people need a a big fast HD to store other than their OS, applications and games. Pictures, documents and music can fit nicely on a regular big, cheap and slower HD. Who really need such a big SSD other than company? I also agree that 100$ is way too much and should be included. Must cost them like 5$ for those extra.
yeah that's the thing about SSD post in this forum they need to name the post "the price/storage space". Then in the details below "yeah we know (the price and storage space again here). PLZ allow 5months to 2years for common sense."
for that cost I could get a decent raid controller and several raid edition drives for server use so I'm having a hard time seeing professionals using this either. seems more like another redintion of ssd as it sloly works its way toward being useful to most people. slowly.
People who buys this epeen extending device is not going to be bothered about the price anyway, so why not squeeze more profit?
We don't need all those "why not RAID smaller devices for faster speed cheap". No shit sherlock. That's obvious. Let's say you REALLY NEED massive storage in a laptop, medical or military device, or limited footprint set of rack servers, or if you want to RAID 0 a whole bunch of these to get a monster speed 4TB über workstation. That's who it is for... people who will install these devices in equipment costing 10's if not 100's thousands $. The cost of the SSD is therefore small fry in comparison.
The absence of USB 3 or SATA 3 (6gbps) is a big turn off. If your paying over 1000 dollars of hardware your going to use it until it breaks and the lack of forward thinking in it's design i.e. no USB 3 or SATA 3 (6gbps) is a huge strike against this product. You can buy some mechanical drives with SATA 3, but no SSD's? That's just dumb, as a SSD can actually make use of the increased bandwidth.
Problem is... arent any SATA 3 controllers out there... or rather, yes, there are a few prototypes, but it will be a while before they enter the main market. Kingston doesnt make their own controllers, or RAM for that matter, they just "select" and "glue". So until there is a working provien SATA 3 controller available for OEM there wont be any SATA 3 SSDs. Just wait a few months and I'm sure there will be plenty. If you google SSD SATA 6 controller you will see news of their arrival (6GB/s)
[sarcasm] I'll take two, because I have $3,396 sitting around waiting for 1TB of SSD space..... [/sarcasm]
I'm running 2 Patriot Torqx PFZ128 in raid 0, so I have half the space. I still have about 40 gigs of space left with almost all my games loaded, but I don't download anything on that computer as I have a rig dedicated for downloading alone.I also spent less than half of what 1 of these costs. Do I need it, no, but having windows load in 16.2 seconds (9 seconds after the password is typed all my startup programs are loaded) is damn nice.
Nothing new really, all manufacturers mark up accessories in one way or the other. Also I don't think it's just the bare drive, if I'm not mistaken it's like the difference between a retail processor and a OEM processor. A bare drive usually only has a 1 year warranty where as a retail drive gets 3-5 years.
I will not buy an SSD until it's big enough to house my OS, games and program files. A 256GB SSD would be filled to the top, so I'm still waiting for 512GB SSD's. But over $1500 is too much of a price tag.

SYNERGY WORKSHOP - Transnational Learning Forum for Exchanging Practices and Ideas
Four projects collaborate in the frames of a special conference organised by EDEN for stakeholders representing (secondary) school level education.
The eLene2learn's Transnational Workshop aims to exchange ideas and experience in learning to learn with social networks, learning to learn with digital media, serious games and virtual worlds and learning to learn with ePortfolios and blogs.
The DigiSkills' Best Practice Exchange Forum collects case studies and best practices that effectively promote innovative teaching and learning good practices. This works as the frame for the collection of exceptional teaching and learning approaches.
Two projects, POERUP and Open Discovery Space play a special co-hosting role and organise a dedicated OER strand. The workshop programme breaks with traditional parallel sessions of paper/poster presentations it provides instead a platform for semi-informal, so-called "Project Fairground" activities. Submission of projects is still open!
eLearning Papers Call for Papers on Changing schools and creative classrooms: 21st century teachers and their new roles
eLearning Papers seeks submissions for the issue 30 Changing schools and creative classrooms: 21st century teachers and their new roles. This issue explores the new role of teachers in 21st century learning contexts, focusing on the challenges they face and the changes in teaching practice caused by the rapid spread of educational technologies and the evolution towards creative classrooms and open educational resources. Deadline: 10 August 2012.
We are interested in contributions that address: national policies, methodologies, new tools and resources, the teacher-student relationship or class organization, among others. Guest editors: Hans Laugesen, GL - the National Union of Upper Secondary School Teachers. Jim Devine, JD Policy, Projects Innovation, EDEN Fellow (and former President, IADT, Dublin)
Click here to read the complete Call for Papers
Call for Papers on Game Based Learning closes today!
eLearning Papers seeks contributions about Game Based Learning in both sections: In-Depth and From the Field. Deadline June 3, 2011
In parallel to the phenomenal rise of the digital game development industry through time, the acceptance of games in other sectors has also been changing. Computer game skills have been increasingly applied in almost all areas of human activity within modern societies. Digital games have now been embraced by the academic research community as a research topic, as well as discovered by the education sector as a highly interactive media that can support and foster learning. As a popular and powerful media, computer games are being considered for use in various education and training settings to motivate learners, to focus their attention, and to help them to construct meaningful and permanent records of their learning.
Games have high presence in informal segments of learning – but in formal education, games are still often seen as an unserious activity and the potentials of games for learning remain undiscovered. However, when evaluating games with their children, 85% of parents believed that computer games contributed to learning as well as providing entertainment.
Beside fantasy and fun elements, games have potential to foster players' ability to communicate and interact with others during gameplay. Computer games can help players to think critically when they are required to construct connections between virtual and real life. Game-like learning environments can provide motivating interdisciplinary learning settings, creating opportunities that could improve student collaboration skills as well as help them learn new concepts and synthesize new information. Games have also been praised for the potential they offer in learning business leadership and other skills by practicing in a safe environment.
The potential of Game Based Learning (GBL) is still underestimated. It can play a major role in renewing learning as it is perceived by learners in all levels of education and training systems. eLearning Papers seeks contributions about mixed realities, virtual worlds and gaming in both sections: In-Depth and From the Field.
We specifically invite contributions which address one or several of the following issues:
- Innovative game based learning technologies, applications, tools and environments
- 3D virtual worlds supporting learning, e.g. in language learning or leadership training
- Use of mobile games and location-based technology for learning
- Innovative applications of mixed realities for learning
- Use of simulations in education, corporate training and military
- Technology for massive multiplayer online games (MMOGs) for learning
- Interactivity design in game based learning applications
- Player immersion and learning
- Case studies and best practices in GBL
- Social and collaborative aspects of GBL
- Implementation issues associated with GBL
- Learning design, good gameplay and instructional theory for GBL
- Use of role plays for learning and training
- Assessment and evaluation in GBL
- Gender, age, cultural and ethical issues in GBL
- Rating of games for learning
- Accessibility of games for learning
The article submission has been extended to June 3, 2011 The provisional date of publishing is 14 July 2011. For further information and to submit your article, please contact:

From Education to Employment and Meaningful Work with ICTs: EDEN 2014 Annual Conference
Developing human potential has been a persistent EU policy aim even in the recent years of economic crisis. Among the goals of the European Strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, Europe 2020, we find employment and innovation, featuring education as a major lever.
The year 2014 is important as the start of the new European programme period until 2020. This coincides with intensive developments in ICT-supported learning, educational innovations and, in particular, open educational resources.

There's always been quite a debate over the proper way to steer your motorcycle, but at the Freddie Spencer High Performance...
"The next day started with the New England sun overhead, and as I peered out my window I could see the chrome reflecting off my Honda Shadow ACE, which was ready to continue the journey."
Imagine a training tool so realistic that you can test your street-riding savvy—or, if you're new to motorcycling or scooters, your readiness to ride—without ever having to leave the comfort of your local Honda dealership.
"Honda has set a new standard in C-ABS performance… the [CBR1000RR C-ABS] was widely regarded as being the most confidence-inspiring in testers' subjective notes, making it an ideal bike for street/track-day use."
In the last issue of Honda Red Rider magazine, we elaborated on the versatility sportbikes can deliver by showing how a few...

Now My Pants Are Chafing Me
Depending on your preference, you either want to start paying more or less attention to athlete's crotches. The new wave in performance-enhancing drugs is here and it's long, strong and down to get the friction on.
The Australian reports that athletes are turning to Viagra to improve their performance.
"It has become so widespread that the World Anti-Doping Agency is considering whether to include Viagra on its list of substances banned in international sports."
The head of a World Anti-Doping Agency accredited lab notes that Viagra and Cialis frequently turn up in drug tests and busts.
Experts believe that Viagra, which dilates blood vessels, could help in events requiring explosive power, such as sprinting. Others suggest it could help endurance – not so much marathon sex sessions as marathon running – particularly at high altitude or in polluted conditions, such as those expected at the Beijing Olympics. The drug is believed to aid the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to muscles.
One would think the increased use of sexual enhancing drugs would lead to some awkward situations. A hard-on has to throw off a javelin throw or the swing of a baseball bat. Pitching inside definitely takes on a new, dangerous meaning. Viagra-using athletes might also want to stay away from Andrew Golota.

Omg I just checked and his allergies ARE getting better!!!!! I don't know what did it, stopping revolution or limiting chicken and beef but the hot spots rr fading out and don't look wet anymore. I so hope they go away completely Sent from Petguide.com Free App |
lalachka |
Mandiah, I have the same problem with my dog. As a matter of fact I was so annoyed with the last visit (went exactly like yours except that I already spent 500$ and went in 3 times before they told me it's food, first they said it was my floor cleaners. So I basically messed up his health with a course of steroids and antibiotics and wasted money) that I'm not going back to my vet again. When I need a vet I will find another one. My vet tried putting me on purina, I guess they're sponsored by purina while your vet gets kick backs from science diet. I'm so annoyed with them. Anyway, I did switch my boy to raw that day ( they said it's the worst thing to do). While raw is the best thing you can do for them it doesn't mean the allergies will go away, his didnt but I'm keeping him on it anyway. He was also on revolution (did your vet sell it to you?) and I stopped it just in case. Basically I stopped giving him anything except meat and glucosamine. Your dog is either allergic to food or environment. Some dogs develop beef and chicken allergies after being vaccinated because most vaccines are beef and chicken based (to put it simple) so it might take time for them to be able to eat beef or chicken. I've been feeding mine duck, rAbbit, lamb and goat, so far no improvement. I do give need organs and beef treats though, I can't find a replacement. It's tough, I'm frustrated and I know what you're going through. Sent from Petguide.com Free App |
a_dugas6 | one other thing, my former vet, insisted it wasn't the frontline and that it was Pez's food. | |
a_dugas6 | I know others have mentioned this, but for the record my cat has the same reaction to getting Frontline (or any other brand) of tick and flea treatments. He (Pez) lost all of his fur except on his tail, his skin was scabby, sores, just gross. With Pez, I use a flea and tick collar, he has not had any reactions since I stopped giving him that stuff. | |

Well Penny had her vet appointment yesterday but I am not thrilled about what happened. So $120 later all for the vet to say "what kind of food is she on" and I told them Go! their response was... "oh I dont like that food it gives dogs problems, I think this is an issue of her food I think you should put her on medi cal or Science Diet because I trust them and they make good dogs"... Like really? I told her several times I wont put my dog on that crap but but she insists her skin issue is her food and that the cure would be to put her on Science Diet. She took a skin scrapping (which we both knew it would be negative for mites, the vet even told me that she knew it would be negative because Penny is on revolution every month). So I should have asked how much that would have been (turned out to cost $44) as it was such a waste of money. UGG So the vets recommendations were to give her a bath every 3 - 5 days, give her benadryl, and switch her food to Science Diet. Not very helpful at all GRRR |
mandiah89 | Hi everyone.. I just got off the phone with my vet to see if Penny could get in any earlier than Friday, and they told me they would call me if a spot opens up. But was wondering if anyone has anything I could use on penny or give Penny to help calm her itching? She has been itching and chewing herself a lot more in the last two days and I dont want my girl to be uncomfortable. I was told to give her benadryl 50mg to see if that helps but is there anything else I could use with the benadryl incase if its not something allergy wise? | |
mandiah89 |
Madlab, I don't think its hot spots as it is not moist and does not look raw per se and it does not smell... (not that I've ever dealt with hot spots before but just from reading what hot spots are, although I'm not sure this excludes the possibility that it could be hot spots but I looked at pictures and it doesn't really look like what Penny's looks like) Gatorbytes, I dont give her a flea bath every month but I have been giving her revolution every month since May, so only 4 months of revolution and she will get it for September and then wont be getting it on again till late next spring. Could such a limited use of revolution be the cause of this? Maybe... Im going to try to take some pictures of the areas that are affected and post them later, have to wait till Penny is sleeping first so I can get decent shots. |

Despite manufacturers claims to the contrary, the ingredients of commonly used topical treatments can and do enter the pets internal systems.Merials website states that fipronil (the active ingredient in Frontline, Parastar, EasySpot and the new over the counter Sentry Fiproguard), is absorbed into the sebaceous glands of the skin which provide a natural reservoir, creating the impression that it does not migrate into the dogs body. Dr. Dobozy of the EPAs Pesticide Division took a look at fipronil and found that it does in fact enter the body and was contained in the fat, organs, urine and feces of dogs. Laboratory tests have shown that with long term exposure at low doses, fipronil has the potential for nervous system and thyroid toxicity, thyroid cancer, altered thyroid hormone levels, liver toxicity, kidney damage, convulsions, whining, barking, crying, loss of appetite, locomotor difficulty, reduced fertility, fetus mortality, smaller offspring, loss of hair at or beyond the point of application, moist inflammation, chemical burn and itching. Read the whole article on page 24 here: http://www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/2012/May2012.pdf Also: Side Effects of Advantage Flea Medication | The Daily Puppy "Some pets with sensitive skin will get sores on the spot of application. These sores can bleed, become filled with pus, remain open for a length of time, and may require medical or surgical attention. Watch the application site for any splitting skin or areas that begin to swell, pus or crack. These are very painful to animals, so avoid touching these areas and seek medical attention for the animal. Watch your pet immediately after application and for a few days after. Some animals experience extreme cases where the neurotoxin in Advantage takes a toll on the pet. Some cases of organ damage have been reported in pets using Advantage in improper dosing or prolonged exposure. If your pet is exhibiting odd behavior, like seeming to not see objects in her path, stumbling or sleeping significantly more than normal, these are signs to discuss with your veterinarian. Similar to the sores, Advantage can cause rashes on dogs with sensitive skin. These may only be noticeable by extreme scratching witnessed in dog behavior, but must be tended to immediately. If the dog scratches the area too much, it may cause bleeding, sores or an infection." |

Why does everyone on spot-on treatments and deadly toxic flea bath treatments go to food first? Not that kibble isn't a toxin in of itself...but you have to seriously consider what this stuff (pesticides) is doing to your dog Def. consider a RAW diet - that will at least give her a fighting chance |
MadLab |
Sounds like hot spots. Scrub areas with a dry towel to remove any puss and scabs and apply some anti bacterial. Grooming might help and wash regularly. When the dog gets wet make sure to dry properly to avoid dampness. |

How about some response?
July 16, 2006, 06:38:55 pm »
I have been working in the Home Automation field for some time - I am researching, yet again, for an article I'm writing on the plethora of Home Automation products in the marketplace.
I'd really like to write something positive about Pluto. Conceptually, it is great. Installation is hardly the 'click thru' as advertised in these pages. Cross platform compatibility is wonderful, as described, although unconfirmed at this time. However, the install has a certain amount if 'inferred product knowledge', although nice for the developers of the product, is hardly the method for those unfamiliar with the product.
I continue to struggle through getting this product installed and working. I have had it installed and running once. On subsequent installs, which I do to ensure the install wasn't a fluke, it has been very problematic.
Response on this website is spotty at best. Online help has been spotty as well; sort of the MS IM 'Oops, I forgot that I am signed in'.
I'm planning to have this piece done for publication in the Sept/Oct timeframe. It would be nice if I could have this working, to permit a comparison to a few of the other HA products I am writing about.

here's response
... Please don't get me wrong, I'm also patiently waiting for new release that appears to be major milestone. I'm also not using it for the moment cause Xine freezes occasionaly and I don't want to lower WAF (Wife (kids) acceptance factor).... And I'm also going through frustrating phases, but I'm trying to find positive thoughts and potential also....
Well I'm Pluto's user for a long time (I started back in "romantic" time, where guys had a lot of time solving problems in remote or IM assistance ). But I can understand that things got tightened with more and more users and more and more partners coming in. Afterall, team of professionals is currently developing, responding, helping, etc...
Project is going through crucial phase now, and team is putting efforts in release of more or less stable version to attract open source community also.
I bet you ask why we're still stuck with Pluto ? I'm currently not aware of any other project that would have such potentials as Pluto does and being opened at the same time. Also if you try to figure how complex system is that takes care of our media, house and life then at least I'm admiring team courage to deal with difficult problem.
Frankly said, I'm not sure if such system is yet possible to implement and make stable with all other problems going on under linux (drivers, stability of media programs, ivtv drivers and majority of apps and drivers being in alpha or beta stage)....
And yes, I think you're fully right - a little help on forums would boost community acceptance and size. If I can judge from my experience, when coming to new project I always first take a look at activity on forums and maybe a lot of potential users went by... But I hope that this effort (project) will go on and attract new people.
Hope this discussion helps a bit,

Don't get me wrong...I've looked at, and written about, other HA systems. MPlus, Premise (which I currently use; RIP), CQ, and on and on...Pluto, conceptually, seems to be headed in the right direction. Can it be the 'non-Crestron and AMX' product of choice?
From what I've read, and from what I occaisionally get to see (like if I get it to work), Pluto can; particularly from the aspect of the 'average' homeowners perspective. Once it can become mainstream, you would have a monster of a product.
Initial set-up has to be easy. Adding other stuff can be more difficult; techies enjoy it...and as you said the WAF will be huge if it works properly.

On that subject I got a few bonus points a few days ago when I copied the rest of our MP3s that I ripped from our CDs ages ago to the Pluto core.
That "box stitting in the loungeroom" became a lot more interesting for wife and before I knew it she was setting up playlists and singing along to all our old crappy music.
"WAF" was at least good that day

My strategy on WAF is mainly based on kids.
Kids love cartoons, so that "box sitting below tv set" comes very handy to manage "one touch play" of favourite movie of the day.
When kids are happy, wife is happy too and this always keeps WAF safely over the guard level.
Besides this, I've added a magic button (light scenario) to simultaneously switch on/off those nice old lamps near the sofa that she likes so much.
This way when something is not working fine, wife push me to solve the issue and also allow me to take extra time to maybe improve some features.
At least if I cannot get anything good out of HA, I may try a diplomatic career ... :lol:

again, we apologize for late responses, hopefuly some of you get the main idea, we're very stressed with developing, fixing stuff, mainly getting the best from us so we can have a good product to market.
we keep responding on forum and live support, indeed sometimes answers are coming late.

JEFFERSON CITY -- Governor Jay Nixon said Missouri's new legislative session offers a chance for politicians to put past battles and mistakes behind them and start anew to meet the state's challenges.The governor Thursday morning hosted a prayer breakfast that drew about 750 people.The annual event has become a tradition at the start of each legislative session.This year, it also came just four days before Nixon is to be sworn in to a second term as governor.He told the gathering that faith and prayer are the foundation of the country and essential for bringing people through turbulent times.The keynote speaker was David Steward, the chairman and founder of St. Louis-based World Wide Technology.That's a $5 billion global company.Steward encouraged the audience to lead with a servant's attitude.Last year's Prayer Breakfast raised more than $2,000.The freewill offering from the January 5, 2012 breakfast raised $2,315.Governor Nixon Jefferson City Samaritan Center's Founder and Executive Director Marylyn DeFeo.In 2011, Coach Mel Tjeerdsma gave the keynote speech at the annual event.Tjeerdsma had just announced his retirement as football coach of the Northwest Missouri State University Bearcats just one week before.Proceeds from the 2013 Governor's Prayer Breakfast support the Governor's Student Leadership Forum on Faith and Values.It is a forum that brings together select Missouri college students for a three-day study of faith and leadership. Participants explore the role faith has played in the lives of business executives, sports figures and government officials.(The Associated Press contributed to this story.)

Special CD by J.R.Blackmore
Best of Romantic Music Gently touched by sounds, swept away into a world of romance. Composed for a world of open hearts. Smoothly, these beautiful melodies of songs like "Feelings", "Moonlights", "Romantic Moments" and "Heartbeats", to name a few, invite the listener to dream away. For the unforgettable moment of love, a "Moment like This", this extraordinarily wonderful time of intimate togetherness. Sentimentally arranged melodies harmonise with empathetically played guitars, pianos and wonderful strings. The inimitability, such a romantic moment brings with it, is being projected exactly and emphasised by these musical works of art. Truly a treat for your ears, simply magical and romantic. All that's left to say is: "Always & Forever". ROMANCE & MUSIC Romance is a feeling of love; an exceptionally strong and energetic feeling full of harmony and affinity. We want to emphasise this feeling with a romantic mood and atmosphere. Romance knows no borders, knows neither dream nor reality. It is eternal and omnipresent.

544 masons have been trained in biogas plant construction in Kenya under the vocational skills development programme. 35 of these are women. SNV together with Kenya's Department of Industrial Training are developing a certification process for biogas masons.
Through a collaborative effort of SNV, UNICEF, the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation and other development organisations in Kenya, thousands people benefit from a rural sanitation programme that saw villages in the country declared Open Defecation Free.
With SNV's support, the Anolei Women's Group has improved its operations and now makes daily deliveries of camel milk to Nairobi, Kenya's capital city.
SNV started work in Kenya in 1967, with operations mainly in the arid and semi arid part of the country. We have since expanded our work to include high potential areas of the country.
We provide advisory services, promote the development and brokering of knowledge, and support policy dialogue at national level. We provide services to government, local authorities, private sector, farmer groups and non-governmental organisations. Aligned with the Government of Kenya's Vision 2030, we focus on opportunities in agriculture (dairy, extensive livestock and horticulture), water, sanitation and hygiene and renewable energy sectors.
To increase the effectiveness of our programmes and our resources, we engage in partnerships with other development agencies, as well as private and public sector organisations.

Al Harris, who played cornerback in Green Bay from 2003 to 2009, said he will retire as a Packer. Harris started 102 games for the Packers and was named to the Pro Bowl in 2007 and 2008. Harris will be remembered most for his interception return for a touchdown in overtime that carried the Packers to a victory at Lambeau Field over the Seattle Seahawks in a January 2004 playoff game. Harris played five seasons with Philadelphia prior to the trade to the Packers. He blew out his knee during the 2009 season and was placed on the Packers' PUP list entering the 2010 season and was eventually cut later that year.

text: Home Culture Don't Judge Kobe's Family Money Drama The basketball great could teach other athletes plenty about setting boundaries with family. By: Keli Goff Posted: May 6 2013 5:27 PM 0 Kobe and Pamela Bryant (Getty Images) (The Root) -- There's a lot not to like about Kobe Bryant. For one, no matter what he does, he manages to come across as smug and arrogant, something that has been a complaint of fellow players and fans alike. Then there's the small detail of being accused of rape. Those charges were eventually dropped, but he ended up having to plead guilty to an unofficial crime (in the eyes of some) of cheating on his wife, which some members of the public treat as even more unforgivable. But now people seem to have found another reason to pile on Bryant, and I find myself in a position I never thought I would: defending him. Bryant recently had his lawyers intervene to prevent his mother from auctioning off belongings from his early days as a young player. It didn't take long before the rumor mill was abuzz that this dispute is not really over his memorabilia. It never is. According to reports, the real dispute allegedly stems from Bryant the younger's willingness to provide a house for his mother, but not a house as expensive as the one she expressed interest in. Further complicating matters, allegedly, is that his in-laws, who are Latino, are said to be enjoying more luxurious accommodations. Now, I don't know Bryant or his mother, so I don't know how true any of this is. What I do know is that he is being pilloried online by black Americans based purely on these rumors. A headline on one site with a predominantly black audience read, "Shady Kobe Bryant Keeps His Parents Living the Struggle While He and His Mexican In-Laws Ball Outrageous!" A sampling of the comments include these: "He is one sick disgusting uncle tom buffoon!" "Yep, typical Koon asz black male. Got the Mexicans living lavish and the woman who carried him and raised him can't get a nice crib." Yet what seems to have gotten lost amid all this speculation (besides the obvious, which is that it's not really any of our business) is that it's his money. He earned it, and he should be able to give it or not to whomever he pleases, however much he pleases. So why am I sticking my nose in this when I just said it's none of our business? Because the Bryant family saga is a high-profile symbol of a chronic illness that is crippling our community: Black Americans from all walks of life are struggling to set healthy financial boundaries with relatives. It's one of the reasons we see so many black athletes and entertainers go broke, but they are not the only ones who need these boundaries. Page 1 of 3 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2009 Barolo (aged three years in botte grande and one year in bottle) opens with a crystalline, ruby color and shows extreme focus and precision. Rosehip, forest berry, wild mint, lightly toasted pine nut, dried ginger and underbrush all appear on the ever-changing bouquet. The wine is..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2008 Barolo Colonnello is impressive. It shows gorgeous richness and depth in its focused, energetic fruit. Sweet red berries, flowers and spices are woven together beautifully in the 2008 Colonnello. The elegant side of Barolo comes through, but with an extra degree of muscle. The oak,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Blackberry, black currant and spice flavors hold court in this polished, international-style red. The tannins are dense, yet matched by sweet fruit, and the finish evokes tobacco and spice. Merlot and Sangiovese."
Cellar/Tasting Notes Detailed and fragrant, offering floral, strawberry, cherry, licorice and spice flavors, this is elegant and underlined by a strong mineral streak. Well-proportioned, picking up intensity and complexity on the long, savory finish. Extremely fresh and classy.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is a superb set of wines from Giorgio Rivetti. The 2008 Barbareschi are among the strongest wines of the year, while the 2007 Barolo Campe is the best wine to emerge from Rivetti's vineyards in Grinzane Cavour. The La Spinetta style focusing on wines of great textural richness remains..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Aromas of blueberries and minerals, with hints of flowers. Full body, with silky tannins and a fresh, clean finish. Chewy, yet polished."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 Barolo Romirasco offers up a refined bouquet of spices, menthol, plums, prunes and French oak. This is an especially rich, sensual Barolo from Conterno. The Romirasco spends an additional 3-4 months in oak than the other single-vineyard Barolos, and in 2006 the wine seems especially..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Though intense, this is elegant and vibrant, exhibiting pure cherry, raspberry and tobacco aromas and flavors. Its tannins are very well-integrated. The lingering aftertaste evokes coffee and mineral..."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2008 Barolo Cascina Francia is all understatement and class. Silky, impeccable tannins support expressive red berries, flowers, mint and sweet spices. The 2008 is an intensely perfumed Cascina Francia that impresses for the purity of its fruit and its phenomenal overall balance. Anticipated..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The sawdust and graphite aromas turn to cherry and raspberry flavors in this vibrant, complex red. A beam of sweet fruit imparts energy and resonance, carrying this to a long, expansive aftertaste."

STREAMLINING MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE: Air resistance is also a huge problem for automotive engineers. In the trucking industry, with enormous vehicles hauling enormous loads, aerodynamics issues have long taken a back seat in design. Now, with concerns over fuel prices and environmental impacts increasing, engineers are attempting to tweak truck cabs and trailers in hopes of reducing the air resistance and, consequently, the amount of fuel consumed. It is even more important for NASCAR, as races can be decided by fractions of a second, and every last bit of power lost to friction is costly.
HIGH-TECH VISION TRAINING: Athletes looking for an edge are also well-served to train to improve their vision. Optometrists are able to use a variety of tools to assess visual perception and to help athletes fine tune it, in a manner similar to how individuals work out to improve strength and agility. Training exercises include tracking fast-moving lights, tapping sections of a peg board when they light up, and more. Training can be tailored to specific attributes vital in certain sports, or even for specialized tasks within a game. For example, baseball infielders and outfielders might be given different exercises.

We've found if you teach kids early on to protect their skin, they'll continue as they get older," says Adelaide Hebert, MD, director of pediatric dermatology at The University of Texas Medical School in Houston.
Protecting your skin isn't JUST about using sunscreen, although it does help!!
There are so many things in this world that can affect our skin. The sun, what we eat and how much water we drink are just some of the factors that can affect our bodies.
Make daily habits fun by singing along while you go through each routine!
Don't forget to use our Earn-A-Star Checklist > to keep track of your daily habits!
Sun Protection Facts:
Myth: There is no real difference in how UVA and UVB rays affect skin. TruKid Truth™: UVB rays only penetrate the top layer of skin causing it to burn. UVA penetrates deeper and causes damage to skin elasticity and more importantly, causing skin cancer, when searching for a sunscreen please remember a "broad spectrum" sunscreen is best.
Myth: Everyone knows how to put on sunscreen. TruKid Truth™: Only 30% of the population uses sunscreen protection and only 50% of those people put it on correctly.
Myth: Sunscreens protect all day. TruKid Truth™: Regardless of the SPF or what the label says, sunscreens must be reapplied every 80 minutes or less. Users mistakenly think a high-SPF product will protect them all day with one application, when in fact all sunscreens must be reapplied regularly.
Myth: Skin cancer is so rare my chances of getting it are almost impossible. TruKid Truth™: Not necessarily, one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in some form in their lifetime. Melanoma in children has been increasing almost 3% a year.
Myth: Some sunscreens are waterproof or sweat proof. TruKid Truth™: The FDA is banning the word "waterproof." Now "water/sweat/perspiration resistant" is accurate but this only means the sunscreen offers SPF protection after 40 minutes of water exposure. "Very water resistant" gives 80 minutes of protection. Re-apply, re-apply, re-apply!
Myth: Sunscreen can provide total sun block. TruKid Truth™: No sunscreen blocks 100 percent of UV rays. SPF 15 protects against 93 percent, though. SPF 30 protects against 97 percent. SPF 50-60 shut out 98 percent. The higher the SPF the more harsh chemicals are in the product.
Myth: Sunscreen is all you need to stay safe. TruKid Truth™: Sunscreen is only one piece of the puzzle. Other pieces include seeking shade between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM, covering up with clothing, wearing broad-brimmed hats and UV-blocking sunglasses, completing self-exams/exams on your children, and scheduling for annual professional skin evaluations.
Myth: All sunscreens block some UVA. TruKid Truth™: Many sunscreens provide some UVA protection; some safe ingredients found in broad-spectrum sunscreens include zinc oxide, and titanium dioxide. These reflect the sun by sitting on top of the skin and not by being absorbed.
Myth: An SPF 60+ provides double the protection of an SPF 30. TruKid Truth™: This is exactly why the FDA is putting a Cap on high SPFs. SPF 30 provides skin with 97% protection, where as SPF 60 provides skin with 98-98.6% protection. There is less than 1.6% difference in protection factor. A SPF 60+ needs more chemicals to achieve a higher SPF, potentially putting more toxins in your body.
Myth: When using aerosol sunscreens, you can easily cover your body without missing a spot, therefore effectively protecting your skin. TruKid Truth™: While being applied, aerosol sunscreens can lose much of their protection during transfer from the bottle onto the skin, as not all of the molecules land on your body.

The Konashen Indigenous District of Southern Guyana houses the headwaters of the Essequibo River, Guyana's principal water source, and drains the Kassikaityu, Kamoa, Sipu and Chodikar rivers. Southern Guyana is host to some of the most pristine expanses of evergreen forests in the northern part of South America.
Most of the forests found here are tall, evergreen hill-land and lower montane forests, with large expanses of flooded forest along major rivers. Thanks to the very low human population density of the area, most of these forests are still intact. The Smithsonian Institution has identified nearly 2,700 species of plants from this region, representing 239 distinct families, and there are certainly additional species still to be recorded.
Such incredible diversity of plants supports even more impressive diversity of animal life, recently documented by a biological survey organized by Conservation International. The clean, unpolluted waters of the Essequibo watershed support a remarkable diversity of fish and aquatic invertebrates, and are home to giant river otters, capybaras, and several species of caimans. On land, large mammals, such as jaguars, tapirs, bush dogs, giant anteaters, and saki monkeys are still common.
Over 400 species of birds have been reported from the region, and the reptile and amphibian faunas are similarly rich. The Konashen Community-Owned Conservation Area (COCA) forests are also home to countless species of insects, arachnids, and other invertebrates, many of which are still undiscovered and unnamed.

"NOT you FCCStandards....always liked your threads and posts!!!!"
ermmm her hair has all been gone for like a decade plus
So, she gets on twitter for the first time in months... and just happens to drop a hint at her long-rumored cancer diagnosis. Then, immediately deletes.
What a fucking crock of bullshit.
Just be real. For once.
i'm one of the fans as well....when you compare her to all the other asskissers in howard's employ, she's downright subversive. up to now, she's the only person in the past 10yrs who has even said one thing to either mock or criticize howard.
i still don't understand the antipathy towards her. i don't think she's a bad person and i think the secrecy of the last year and a half is all due to howard. when it comes to marbles, and making marbles, howard is an expert.
everyone is off limits with the exception of JD and ronnie (two of the dullest, most uninteresting peopoe in the universe). robin's exile was orchestrated by howard and fuckwald. while it seems apparent that she's been very ill the past year, i have a feeling she would have enjoyed being in the studio (but howard doesn't like being reminded of "yucky" things like serious illness and death).
it's all about howard.
It's not deleted.
Robin in studio monday morning 2 years later.
Howard recently said "robin you know how it is, you have a book coming out" when complaining about doing promotion for agt.
Tim sabean was NOT fired
I think Howard's flipping his wig right now reading this

Robin should've scrapped this recipe book and instead written, The "I May Not Be Here Too Long so Let's Live it Up Cookbook"

This is simply a great idea, I just want to start by saying that. I love and am in awe of the vision and prospects this plan could bring to fruition, and it seems so ingenious to boot.
A future in which continent-spanning electricity grids feed the many hungry nations of Europe, Iceland and N. Africa has recently been plotted out by multiple energy ventures and renewable project giants such as DESERTEC and the EU. As you can see in the map above, the grid would stretch from the Saharan Desert, through all of Europe, up into Scandinavia and across the ocean to Iceland, connecting the entire region into one 'energy-continent'.
This plan was initially suggested when people began noticing that energy projects in the UK, Europe and Iceland, as well as those in the deserts of Africa, were actually doing things thought irrational, uneconomic and plain stupid (think DESERTEC). Once this realisation set in, the idea of a pan-European/Saharan grid quickly formed.
With lines already laid connecting Ireland to the UK, France, the Netherlands, and now a record-breaking 950 mile long cable between Iceland and the UK, with plenty more in the works, this initially crazy daydream is rapidly becoming reality.
What is the real beauty of this project however is the renewable side of things; the whole grid will be supplied by low-carbon tech alone, none of that fossil fuel nonsense. As each country associated with the super-grid generates their renewable energy through different means, such as geothermal in Iceland, wind in the UK, or hydro in the Scandinavians, it plays to each and every country's specialities. Rather than laying new lines and sticking wind turbines somewhere that ain't windy, the grid will transport wind energy to the required regions from those nations which can easily provide.
With peak times being met by green energy flying in from abroad, for the states that have proven their worth in one or two particular renewable energy sources and produce surpluses at a consistent level, the monetary rewards are tantalising to say the least. Think of a scenario thus - France fears it can't supply the energy needed to run its nation at full pelt, so it calls on the super-grid to supply some wind energy from us Brits, supplemented by some Swiss hydroelectric. Meanwhile, the Sahara (pumping out silly amounts of solar energy) is sending sunlight to Norway and Spain, and receiving a tasty return on their energy investment. It's a complete win-win situation.

The mainstream media's DNSChanger internet doomsday arrived without fanfare, as the FBI pulled the plug on servers that allowed thousands of computers in Australia to access the web.
Security firm F-Secure confirmed early Monday that the temporary servers, which replaced the rogue servers that had been operated by a now-dismantled fraud syndicate spreading the DNSChanger trojan, went offline, as expected.
Yet, despite the media hype that some 6000 computers in Australia, 60,000 machines in the US and a couple of hundred thousand elsewhere in the world remained infected and could lose internet connectivity -- creating a Y2K-style scenario -- the resulting scene has been calm.
Australia's second-largest ADSL provider iiNet found no increase in customer requests for assistance in cleansing DNSChanger infections.
The lions' share of infected machines within Australia resided under Telstra within an Autonomous System Network (ASN), according to the DNSChanger Working Group. The network yesterday contained 4383 infected machines.
Telstra, which redirected infected customers so they would not lose internet connectivity, said it had at least 2500 Telstra affected endpoints.
"According to reports, many major internet service providers have configured their own substitute DNS servers and are continuing to work the problem," wrote Sean Sullivan, a security adviser at F-Secure, in a blog post.
"So, the FBI is out, and ISPs are in. All in all, things are working out as they probably should in a case such as this. The infection count continues to decrease without a major crisis in support calls. We've only received a couple from our own customers."
According to F-Secure, the number of infected IP addresses now sits at around 47,000 in the United States -- though many of those machines may not even be actively used to access the internet.
Major ISP Comcast has received a "miniscule" number of help-related calls since midnight, according to company spokesman Charlie Douglas. And like other ISPs, Comcast is standing by and ready to assist any customers, he said.
The SANS Internet Storm Center's Johannes Ullrich further downplayed the hype and suggested users who haven't cleaned their systems by now probably deserve the consequences.
As recently as last fall, an estimated half-million computers in the United States and several million across the world contained the DNSChanger trojan.
"There are about (two billion) internet users," he wrote. "So about 0.01 (percent) of internet users are infected. In other words: Very few. People who have disregarded warning banners, phone calls from ISPs, (anti-virus) warnings, and other notification attempts -- they probably should be disconnected from the internet."
