From readme file in SVN - This is an initial port of the skinning tool to Linux. Later on it will include the remaining XBMC functionality. I have tested this to work with Ubuntu 6.06 and 6.10.

Can anyone give me more information on this please?
Is there a time frame for dev at all? Is it going to be kept up to sync with Trunk often? Any plans for cross platform, as SDL works on windows, apple and NIX? Getting XBMC to boot on a APPLETV would be a perfect upgrade to the xbox platform, HD output, 40gb HDD by default, optical output, 802.11n wifi, could even boot from USB. Thanks for any info. |

As I mentioned above if you think its going to be a full linux port of xbmc then you have a long wait. Spiff and JM hav already expressed their views on the subject.

My plan is to have a fully working Linux port. Yes, it will take a while to get everything working that's why I decided to begin with the skinning tool first and then take it from there. The first milestone of compiling and linking is behind me, although don't expect it to run. Most of the guilib has been ported (including TTF, texturebundles, mouse, keyboard) but as I said there's still a lot of work until the skinning thing is complete.
We have decided to put it on a separate branch until it stabilizes and then decide whether to have it part of the main trunk or merge it occasionally, depending how many changes there will be in the code. That's why I decided not to change all the WIN32 api calls, but rather implement them in Linux (this is very partially done yet). There is no time frame for that but I'm working on it with another guy and we get a lot of support from the other team members (pike, jm, spiff, etc). The reason that I moved it to use SDL is so that we can later on port it to other platforms (APPLETV is a good example but I can also think of the PS3). I will keep you posted occasionally on progress and if there are any Linux programmers who want to join the effort of development, please let me know.

here's the README for the linux port
http://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*...ADME.linux (mostly posted so it's easy to find) Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting. Do not e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules. For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first.

Students record veterans' war stories
WAR STORIES — Fifth grade Rowe Elementary students Taylor Day, left, and Shaelyn Hanscom, listen to WWII veteran Bob Allan recount his action as a tank Sergeant in Europe.
LIVING HISTORY — Joe Brown, a U.S. Navy veteran, tells Rowe Elementary School students Kenneth Bing and Shianne Leonard about his service on the USS Wasp in the Pacific during WWII.
WORDS OF ADVICE — Bob "Gunny" Poliquin, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, shares some worldly advice with Sam Morton, left, and Gavin Hamm, fifth grade students from Rowe School. Ed. Tech Ben Goodall looks on.
PARIS — "I joined the infantry," said Bob "Gunny" Poliquin, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran. "Stay away from that, if you can," he said with a grin.
As he spoke, fifth graders Sam Morton and Gavin Hamm noted his words of wisdom and ask him more about his service, and life.
Morton and Hamm, along with around 15 of their classmates, visited the Maine Veterans Home in South Paris last Friday as part of a service learning project organized through the Bryant Pond 4-H Camp.
On the same day, another group of Rowe students visited the Western Maine Health's Market Square Health Center.
The goal of the exercise is to connect community service with scholastic study, said Danielle Odom, the 4-H program coordinator.
For the rest of the school year, students will be working on projects at the Alan Day Community Garden and Roberts Farm Preserve in Norway.
Students are expected to record and reflect on their experiences through composition writing, Odom explained. In that way, students give something back to their community, learn new skills and have a creative outlet for writing.
Engaging with and recording veterans' stories is particularly important, Odom said. It gives students a personal perspective on history they may only know about from the classroom.
She hoped to connect the stories with the national Veterans Legacy Project, which aims to preserve the stories and memories of the nation's veterans for generations to come.
Spread out across a number of tables in the community room last Friday, students joined the veterans for lunch and got a chance to ask them about their lives and military service.
At one table, Bob Allan recounted his WWII combat experience as a Sergeant in the Army's 12th Armored Division, commanding a tank and six soldiers.
With rapt attention, students Taylor Day and Shaelyn Hanscom listened to Allan explain how he lost a foot to enemy fire while crossing a river during some of the last fighting of the war – only two months before Nazi Germany surrendered.
At another table, WWII Navy Veteran Joe Brown described life on the aircraft carrier USS Wasp in the Pacific to a group of inquisitive youngsters.
The students craned around Brown's commemorative photo book as he explained the different tasks required of the sailors and airmen on the vessel, and the danger they faced.
"My picture isn't in there, but I was on it," Brown told the students, "about 60 some-odd years ago."
Back at Poliquin's table, a group of boys were pumping him for information on his Marine Corps service. They wanted to know when and where he served, why he joined the military and what training was most useful to him.
"Being a mechanic," Gunny answered.
His mechanic training helped him get a job with a AAA garage right after leaving the service, he said. The fact his new boss was also a Marine helped too, he told the students.
Morton and Hamm furiously scribbled down his answers and competed to be the first to ask him another question.

text: The U.S. men's basketball team closed out its all-or-nothing journey with gold after a 107-100 victory over Spain. For this team, of course, it's either this result or a colossal failure. The Americans were a perfect 8-0 after blowouts like the record-setting 83-point victory over Nigeria and real tests like the five-point victory over Lithuania in pool play and the seven-point victory Sunday over Spain. Could this team beat the 1992 Dream Team? We'll never know. But we know this: The competition it faced in London was superior to that the U.S. faced 20 years ago in Barcelona. ... The London Olympics wrapped up with closing ceremonies Sunday, meaning your Monday workday won't be interrupted with periodic score-checking or breaks to figure out the intricacies of, say, handball and rhythmic gymnastics. This was a fascinating two weeks in London, from Michael Phelps to Gabby Douglas to Usain Bolt to the men's and women's sweep by the U.S. basketball teams. The summer edition moves on to Rio, where we hope to see Bolt in 2016.

That reeks of desperation.
But fuck that place. It's not even worth trolling.
Has anyone done a poll of what got them "kicked" (ETM-speak) from that other place?
I got kicked for mentioning equine features, as I'm sure is the number one reason (this was in '07). Someone had put me on double-secret probation as a conflict poster for stating my deep displeasure with the day they devoted a full 30 minutes to listening to the silence as Artie slept.
I got deaded because toothdk started a Howard Stern thread in the lobby and said I would rather post here because if you post anything at all in the HS forum not sucking ass then they act like you killed one of their family members..5 minutes later I was wacked by that mook Mutt
that positivity, bobo pic posting and kitten shit was some of the most fun I've had on the internet

Crazed Conductor
When vaudeville artist Tomáš Kubínek shares the stage with accomplished local musicians in Professor Kubínek Meets the Vermont Youth Orchestra, a night of classical music will be turned upside down — in a good way. The performer combines 30 years of experience as a physical comedian with his love of the symphony to create a show with all-ages appeal. Gioachino Rossini's La Gazza Ladra overture accompanies Kubínek's dramatic entrance — he gets carried in on an ornate chair that complements an equally eccentric wardrobe. This grand gesture sets the tone for the antics that follow, set to Mozart, Bach and more.

Ukwabelana - An open-source morphological Zulu corpus
Sebastian Spiegler, Andrew van der Spuy, Peter A. Flach, Ukwabelana - An open-source morphological Zulu corpus. Proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING), pp. 1020–1028. August 2010. PDF, 189 Kbytes.Abstract
Zulu is an indigenous language of South Africa, and one of the eleven official languages of that country. It is spoken by about 11 million speakers. Although it is similar in size to some Western languages, e.g. Swedish, it is considerably under-resourced. This paper presents a new open-source morphological corpus for Zulu named Ukwabelana corpus. We describe the agglutinating morphology of Zulu with its multiple prefixation and suffixation, and also introduce our labeling scheme. Further, the annotation process is described and all single resources are explained. These comprise a list of 10,000 labeled and 100,000 unlabeled word types, 3,000 part-of-speech (POS) tagged and 30,000 raw sentences as well as a morphological Zulu grammar, and a parsing algorithm which hypothesizes possible word roots and enumerates parses that conform to the Zulu grammar. We also provide a POS tagger which assigns the grammatical category to a morphologically analyzed word type. As it is hoped that the corpus and all resources will be of benefit to any person doing research on Zulu or on computer-aided analysis of languages, they will be made available in the public domain from http://www.cs.bris.ac.uk/Research/MachineLearning/Morphology/Resources/.

Howard Dean, the former Vermont governor and Democratic firebrand, stood behind a podium at the San Jose Convention Center and neatly summed up the current zeitgeist of the left.
"Is the president perfect?" Dean asked a buzzing audience of left-leaning bloggers, political activists and organizers on Thursday evening. "No. But it sure is better than having Bain Capital, I mean Mitt Romney, in there."
Dean's growling joke crystallized the prevailing liberal sentiment about President Barack Obama as the curtain rose on Netroots Nation, the annual progressive conference started in 2006 by the creators of the Daily Kos, a popular left-leaning blog and founding member of an online grass-roots movement that eventually helped lift Obama into the White House.
Obama the senator made a pilgrimage to the 2007 conference, then called Yearly Kos, and charmed the assembled bloggers as he mounted what seemed an impossible primary campaign against Hillary Clinton.
In 2013, Obama the president sent a YouTube video. He wasn't exactly missed.
On a host of issues from National Security Agency surveillance to Wall Street reform to foreclosure assistance to the Keystone XL pipeline debate, the more than 2,000 activists in San Jose for the eighth Netroots Nation expressed dismay about the compromises and slow pace of progress that have so far marked Obama's tenure in the White House.
"If George Bush was in there, I'd more frustrated," said Tony Alexander, political director for a local chapter of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union. "But we have Barack Obama, so it's a little less frustrating."
But frustrating nonetheless.
To many here, the hard-won battles of the 2012 campaign have not yielded much at all.
"We are in the middle of foreclosure crisis, and we haven't seen any real action on principal reduction, and we haven't seen any of the banks get prosecuted for some of things that were supposedly under investigation," said Liz Butler, a fellow at the Movement Strategy Center, a social justice organization. "A lot of us have concerns within the progressive, social justice and environmental movement about the lack of action on a whole set of issues."
Scott Paul, a self-described "labor Democrat" and president of the nonpartisan Alliance for American Manufacturing, pointed to Obama's promise at the Democratic National Convention to create 1 million new manufacturing jobs by the end of his second term.
"The first five months are in, and there is virtually no job creation, so they are already way behind on manufacturing," said Paul, who was enticing conference-goers to his display in the Netroots Nation exhibition hall with classic arcade games such as Galaga and Pac-Man. "How much of it was rhetorical? A lot of it was, clearly."
Across the hall from Paul's display, staffers from the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, a 1 million-member advocacy group founded by two former MoveOn.org organizers, was doing a brisk business handing out blue-and-white bumper stickers declaring, "I'm from the Elizabeth Warren wing of the Democratic Party."
Warren, the senator from Massachusetts who endeared herself to the left by pushing for student loan reform and greater Wall Street regulation, long ago surpassed Obama as a darling of the left, said Adam Green, a co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee.
The president's attempt to pass sweeping gun control legislation after the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School offered a glimmer of hope for liberals, Green said, but that soon faded.
"The American people want to believe in something, someone, and there are moments like the gun debate when the president did what progressives wanted all along, which is propose the boldest possible bill and barnstorm the country fighting for it," he said.
"But on things like foreclosures, and even jobs, there is the absence of a policy. On some things he is just wrong, and on other things he is just absent. Why isn't he giving a speech on jobs every single week? Why isn't he owning that issue? He is almost treating his presidency like he is treading water. There are people who want to rally behind his leadership if he is willing to lead, but he is not."
Obama recorded a video message for the conference that ran during the opening night of speeches on Thursday. It was sandwiched between the address by Dean and another by Sandra Fluke, the attorney and women's rights activist who became a Democratic celebrity during the 2012 presidential race when radio talker Rush Limbaugh called her a "slut" for advocating for greater access to contraceptives.
"We won't always agree on everything, and I know you'll tell me when we don't, but if we work together, I am confident we will keep moving this country forward," Obama said in the video, which was met by tepid applause though it highlighted accomplishments such as increasing home sales and passing an extension of the Violence Against Women Act.
The president's complicated relationship with his party's activist wing is, in a certain sense, as institutional as it is ideological. Every president, liberal or conservative, has been forced to make compromises that rankled even his most loyal supporters.
But Obama's other challenge is that the political left has long had a knack for restlessness, even with one of its own occupying the Oval Office.
Until the second term of President George W. Bush exposed his party's fault lines, Republicans for decades had a prized tradition of marching in lockstep with party leadership, especially when the GOP held the White House.
The Democratic Party, meanwhile, is routinely disparaged -- even by its own professional class in Washington -- as less a party than a feuding and loosely affiliated federation of special interests and demographic groups: organized labor, abortion rights supporters, environmentalists, racial minorities, students and others.
"Every president has to operate within the framework of a lot of competing interests and organizations that are supporting or against him, especially Democrats," said Jann Dorothy, a Netroots attendee from Sacramento, California, who is supportive of the president. "He has to always balance the various constituencies that are out there. It's a bit like herding cats."
Dorothy said that "a lot of people here are frustrated, very upset" about the NSA surveillance and data collection programs that former contractor Edward Snowden revealed this month.

Film Review: South of the Border
It's impressive that Oliver Stone managed to make such an interesting topic so underwhelming. In his documentary South of the Border, Stone capital hops around South America, visiting with various leaders and discussing the recent wave of populist, socialist, indigenous and most importantly non-US backed leaders elected in the region over the past decade. He spends the first big chuck of the film "hanging out" with Venezuela's President Hugo Chávez, painting a strictly positive and one-sided picture of a man that is unfairly demonized by an oil-hungry United States. This is of course mostly accurate, but all the high-fiving and man hugging between Chávez and Stone make the piece feel more like an international infomercial than any kind of worthy documentary. When we finally leave Venezuela to visit with some of the continent's other leaders, the rife-with-potential one-on-one interviews generally fizzle out before they even begin. A few interesting moments are sprinkled throughout the hangout footage, including Argentina's Néstor Kirchner reminiscing of a meeting he had with US-President Bush, who proceeded to try and sell him on the fantastic benefits of entering your people into war and the wonders it can do to an economy. Perhaps the most fitting sound bite comes from Ecuador when President Rafael Correa explains how the unprecedented rise of leftist leaders in Latin America is a direct result of Bush and years of one-sided US policy. No kidding?
Stone paints the US media as failing to ask the tough questions, with a cameo from polarizing filmmaker Michael Moore ripped from CNN surprisingly providing one of the most memorable opinions in the film. Things go array, however, when Stone heads down to Bolivia to get some footage of Evo Morales chewing on Coca leaves and kicking around a soccer ball on the lawn -- The exact type of fluff questions he spends time complaining about earlier on. We're also given a peek into the sloppy production of the film when Evo himself points out that the coca leaves they brought in to have him chew on are not even fresh. I imagine Stone on a street outside the Presidential palace purchasing the leaves from a kid, on a whim, without any sort of research. He also failed to bring along a qualified camera person on the journey, as huge portions of the film are over-exposed, out of focus and drastically aesthetically unpleasing. Whether or not there was any sort of redeeming ending I am not sure. I fell asleep towards the end, which normally I would find as a reason not to review a film, but in this case I imagine sleep is exactly what George Bush, the fine folks at FOX News or any of the people Stone is arguing against in this film would do themselves upon viewing it. 2/5 stars. -Clayton Hauck

A Twist on Holiday Traditions
by: Katherine Tandy Brown
Give new meaning to your holiday by transforming family traditions
Whether your family celebrates Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa, it's easy to misplace the spirit of joy and peace—the declared reason for the season—by getting caught up in myriad events and must-do's that seem to rule time during the holidays. The resulting stress can make you dread what should be a fun time of year.
Enjoy these meaningful stories from six Kentuckians who have solved this annual dilemma by creating family traditions of their own. (And for sharing their special stories, these readers also receive $50, just in time for the holidays.) Consider using their ideas as springboards to transform your own holiday into a much-anticipated time of celebration and new meaning for you and those you love.
Storytelling Animals
In a Christian legend shared by many countries, animals talk at midnight on Christmas Eve. As the tale goes, the gathered animals—sheep, donkeys, and camels—witnessed Christ's birth in the stable at midnight. Just as the baby Jesus was laid in a manger, they were briefly given the capacity to speak and praise God for the miracle they witnessed.
Even when she was a little girl, Eleanor Hume O'Rear Peavy, who now owns Our Ewenique Farm with her husband, Thom, would go out in the back yard with her dogs, "just to see."
When her now-23-year-old daughter Ele was a child, she and her mom would walk together to the barn, cozy with animals. As a special treat, they would add canned food to the dogs' and kitties' regular suppers. That tradition now continues for the whole farm, a menagerie of cows, goats, chickens, dogs, cats, horses, and 80-plus sheep.
Eleanor still visits the barn but not as late. "If it's really cold, I'm likely to find chickens roosting on the sheep," she laughs. "It's wonderfully peaceful. I've never heard the animals talk but it doesn't matter. Believing it happens is in my 'eternal optimist clause!' You just never know..."
Eleanor Hume O'Rear Peavy, Georgetown
Caesar Augustus' Census
William Quig has created a holiday tradition that has been not only fun but educational for two generations of children. When his kids were small, he began to use toy soldiers to teach history and tell the Christmas story to them, and now is doing the same for his grandchildren.
When the winter holidays roll around, William, his wife, Rebecca Hall Quig, and their grandkids Dereck, Cheyanne, and Connor remove his toy soldiers from their boxes, and the games begin.
"With Romans, Spartans, and knights (and sometimes cowboys and Indians to fill in), we fight the battles that preceded the first Christmas under Caesar Augustus," Quig explains. "It usually starts with Cleopatra's brother bringing the head of Pompey to Julius Caesar."
Quig and the kids trace history from the Roman civil wars, through the days of Antony and Cleopatra, until the time of Augustus and the nativity scene in Bethlehem. They also set up a Christmas village, where scenes from the French and Indian War and American Civil War come alive, filling their holidays with history.

Year-round Shopping
Though shopping for holiday gifts all year long is not an especially new idea, Roseanna Weaver and her mom Kathleen have honed this tradition to a fine art.
When Roseanna's family moved out of state and couldn't come to Kentucky for Christmas, the family began celebrating the holidays in November and had to shop before the usual rush. Roseanne noticed that the best sales for clothing happened around back-to-school time. As the family grew, she began shopping earlier in the year. The week after Christmas and New Year's, she discovered, many stores begin marking items down 25 percent, then 50 percent.
As her family grows, Roseanna, who lives with her fiance, David Noel, and their kids Dylan Grace, age 4, and Shawn Logan, 2, begins her holiday shopping in January, collecting stocking stuffers and donation items at clearance prices, and checking off holiday list items a stress-free few at a time.
"In the retail rush between Black Friday and Christmas Eve," Weaver says, "we are able to be at home with family or helping out in the community instead of crawling the mall and crossing our fingers that the store hasn't sold out of the latest 'it' toy."

Celebrating One Day Late
Known to friends as "Kentucky's Paula Deen," Teresa Walker loves to cook. But on Christmas Day in 1996, when her children and grandkids finally arrived at her house after a long day with other relatives, all worn out and fussy and not even hungry, she put her foot down.
"From now on," Teresa declared, "we're having our Christmas on the 26th." And so it has been ever since.
When the grandchildren were small, her husband, Darrell, would pick them up. These days, the older grandkids drive the younger ones to their grandparents' house. Five grandchildren and two great-granddaughters (one who is expected to arrive on December 7) then help cook a country ham breakfast for the family; set the table with crystal, china, and linen; light candles; learn dinner-table manners; and "take ownership in the day's events."
Granddaddy Darrell always receives a fun gift from Santa that"coincidentally" the kids will want to help him play with all day long. The older generation gets quality grandkid time and the parents get a rest. The day is a total win-win for everyone.
"We've never had anyone miss the 26th," says Teresa.
Teresa Walker, Cadiz Pennyrile Electric cooperative member
Dime Store Treasures
During her childhood, says Regina "Jean" Miller Morgan, Christmas was all about giving. Gifts were small and inexpensive. Her sister Toots worked at H.L. Green dime store in Lexington, and would give Regina $10 worth of coupons to buy the family presents. When her grandmother Lucy Miller, of Estill County, took to bed with crippling arthritis, Regina would roam the stores selecting items for everyone on her grandma's limited pension.
"The girl cousins might receive fancy panties; the men, handkerchiefs; the boys, socks; and the ladies, stockings," Regina says, "but the holiday spirit abounded when I spread the gifts on her bed and let her choose the color for each person and the wrapping paper, ribbon, and bow."
Years later, when Regina's mom Nettie had Alzheimer's and didn't recognize her own grandbabies, this caring daughter would select and wrap gifts for her to give each grandchild, so each received something special "from Mom-Mom."
For 23 years, Regina and her late husband, Bob, lived as missionaries in Indonesia. As a result, her holiday focus now is giving to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, a Southern Baptist Church fund to memorialize a Chinese missionary.
"The holidays," says Regina, "were and are all about giving."
Regina "Jean" Miller Morgan, Smithfield Shelby Energy Cooperative member
A Child's Special Gift
Something happened to Hazel Askin years ago that helped create a holiday tradition she embraces today.
One of 10 kids, she wrote a letter as a little girl to Santa requesting a bicycle. After reading the letter, her mom—Carrie Hammond—told her that Santa might not have enough bicycles for every child.
"Back then," Hazel remembers, "Mom cooked a big dinner and everybody would come home. Christmas was about family, not about gifts and money."
Though a stuffed pink poodle awaited her under the tree, her older brother, Claude Ray Hammond, arrived later for dinner and told his little sis that Santa had left a green bike on the porch for her since it wouldn't fit down the chimney. Years later, she learned that he'd won the bicycle at his workplace Christmas party.
"My brother didn't have kids and knew our mom couldn't afford a bicycle," Hazel says. "He made my Christmas special."
As a result, she and her husband, Steve, who have two grown children, give gifts to a child whose family can't afford them.
"I'm at the age that I don't need anything," Hazel says. "Giving a gift they wouldn't normally receive to a child is my gift to me."

"It's incomprehensible, the pain here," Darla Henggeler said. "You can't imagine. We're still in shock. I can't let my heart go there because it's so overwhelming.
"Once it settles in, I think my heart will break."
Ex-school official: Lanza would 'withdraw into his own little world'
When he was the Newtown public schools' director of security, Richard Novia knew Adam Lanza. In high school, the then-teen had psychological issues and would sometimes "withdraw into his own little world," Novia said.
But he never saw Friday's carnage coming.
"I interacted with that boy daily for several years," Novia told Nancy Grace from HLN, CNN's sister network. "And I can tell you that there was no indication he would carry out a heinous act."
Lanza worked with Novia in Newtown High's Tech Club, with his mother -- who the former security director described as "doting" and very involved in her children's lives -- often taking part in its activities. She'd also be called to the school when Adam Lanza "would have little episodes ... where he could not ... talk or communicate, even what he was feeling."
Citing local school authorities, Vance said Monday there was "no connection" between the shooter and with the elementary school he targeted. Cynthia Jaroszewksi, though, told CNN that Lanza once attended that school and was even in the same first- and third-grade classes as her daughter, Rebecca.
No class for Sandy Hook students 'until further notice'
As to Sandy Hook's current students and faculty, they will be out of school "until further notice," Newtown Police Lt. George Sinko said.
When classes do resume, it will be in a different place.
Authorities have said Sandy Hook students and staff will be at Chalk Hill Elementary in neighboring Monroe, Connecticut, with Gov. Dannel Malloy saying he's signed an order to expedite such a move. In fact, moving trucks were parked outside the Newtown school Monday, to transport supplies and equipment to their home.
School will be in session for other students in town Tuesday, albeit after a 2-hour delay.
"Be assured that the safety of your children and our staff are our first priority," Superintendent Janet Robinson told parents in an e-mail. "(Police) Chief (Michael) Kehoe along with his colleagues from the State Police and surrounding communities are implementing a security plan which will provide increased presence at all of our schools."
Massacre stirs debate about gun control
Preventing future Newtowns isn't just on Connecticut residents' minds. The massacre has spurred talk nationwide about gun violence and how to prevent it.
President Barack Obama's call for change was the centerpiece of his address Sunday night at Newtown High School. Referencing other mass shootings over the last two years, he said Americans can't "honestly say we're doing enough to keep our children -- all of them -- safe from harm."
To that end, Obama promised, "In the coming weeks, I will use whatever power this office holds to engage my fellow citizens -- from law enforcement to mental health professionals, to parents and educators -- in an effort aimed at preventing more tragedies like this."
While gun rights groups like the National Rifle Association have been largely silent since Friday's shooting, others have spoken up.
Malloy, Connecticut's governor, said Monday, "I'd love to hear the people argue that we need 30-round magazines and that's somehow tied to the right to bear arms. We're not talking about basic weapons that are used in hunting."

I saw another article from Brian Madden site's (which I saw via Twitter) which asks the question that many VDI adopters forget, which is Who controls the new virtual desktops? Is it the Server team or the Desktop team? Traditional IT has been very easy to delineate in terms of responsibility, usually by function or hardware. VDI (and virtualization in general) really blurs those lines of responsibility. A Brianmadden.com user quoted in the post sums up the issue pretty well
"Desktop people don't own the server hardware. The one BIG issue in my mind that no one talks about…is that the desktop IT guys have very little control and leverage over the infrastructure that runs their desktops when it comes to VDI. With VDI, the desktop IT team simply owns and controls the content inside the VM - the VM itself and everything under it is locked away from the desktop IT team."
The issue is more complex than just adjusting responsibility of IT groups. Virtualization is clearly creating new configurations and situations that have to be dealt with. This issue really isn't going away, as we integrated storage & networks, desktops & clouds. I think the most important thing to remember is that we need to leverage virtualization to make IT better. It's a key technology but it's just a technology. It's not a business process or model. We should virtualize to make IT more efficient, not just virtualizing for the sake of virtualizing.
Don't forget. Virtualization works for the benefit of IT. IT doesn't work for the benefit of Virtualization.

Day 3 is my last day at VMworld 2009. This day went really well but somehow, I can't help but feel a little disappointed when compared to previous VMworlds, but more on that later.
First, there was Stephen Herrod's keynote today. Certainly, Stephen is a great speaker and it was interesting than the previous keynote. Still, it had the same issues as Paul's keynote, which is that much of the content was shown before or not really new. They talked about PCoIP, with the Teradici protocol in software (at least they actually showed the software this time). However, much of what they showed in relation to desktops, View, and employee-owned IT has been done by Citrix before, some of it years ago. It might be cast as new, with a new name or term, but the basic concepts and end user results are already there with Citrix and even with the new Remote Desktop Services in Windows Server 2008 R2.
Then we saw the big mobile demo. There was a tweet a couple days back, hinting at a big deal between VMware and a phone company. Didn't happen. It was very disappointing. They showed a Visa app, running on Android, on top of Windows CE. Cool concept but showing Android running on a old, Windows CE build is not that neat. Where was Windows Mobile 6, Blackberry, or iPhone? Sure they support ARM but what about next gen chips like the nVidia Tegra or Qualcomm SnapDragon? Also, what was up with that phone. At first, I thought it was a toy. It was the size of a netbook. If you have a full size tablet stylus for a "phone" demo, something isn't right.
Next, there was a big discussion of how long VMware has had VMotion (6 years), all these stats, how mature it is (we get the message, you've had it while). I think the big question is why, after 6 years, is VMotion still tied to HW only. They showed off "future" integrated with Disk IO. We can do all that and more, with the PRO feature of VMM. At MMS 2009, we showed physical hardware failures and CPU power usage driving Live Migrations. With our inbox and partner solutions, we can do Live Migrations based on HBA congestion, application parameters, and even service level monitoring.
That's the key to really using Live Migration/VMotion. VMware can talk all day about app level insight and what they will have in the future. We've been doing that for longer than VMware has had VMotion and we've already linked it to Live Migration, something they aren't even talking about.
I did go to the open Q&A with Paul Maritz and company. Someone asked the question about the restrictions on Microsoft and Citrix. Tod Nielsen responded that while it was perceived that VMworld was an industry event, it really never was. He said it really is a show about VMware and they can set the rules of what people can see. It was a really fair, reasonable response. I just wished they would have cleared up that "mis-perception" months back, so everyone was on the same page.
This all relates to my final point, which was really my first point, on being a little disappointed in the show. This is my first VMworld as an attendee. I was always a speaker. Going to actual sessions, I really never actually saw a demo. Most of my sessions were people reading Powerpoint slides to me. I even had one session where the demo was a very long video and the speaker just narrated the video. Often, when an important point came up, the speaker would say "I don't want to go into details" and I wanted to scream "Please, I want more details". There was just too much sales pitch, not enough actual technical information. I know this wasn't all sessions but it was for me.
And this leads to my biggest disappointment. In the past, when we were sponsors, Microsoft would get a session to present the Microsoft story. it's always been VERY well attended. What was really great about it was most of the audience were not familiar with Microsoft Virtualization and they got a great starter on our products. We could then follow-up one on one to answer questions. This year, we had to the first level conversation in the booth only. Then, you add on that there are comparison sessions without equivalent sessions from the competitors. All in all, I really think it really makes it hard for customers to really learn about everyone's products and how they compare for themselves.
My question to everyone is did you miss not having a Microsoft or Citrix session? Would having a session help you learn more about Microsoft Virtualization? If we can't do a session at VMworld 2010, where would you want to see a session on Microsoft Virtualization? A Microsoft show? A Citrix show? A new, independent show?
Let me know by comments here and by my twitter (@edwinyuen). I also want to thank all the hundreds of new followers on twitter. I appreciate your time and good luck on winning the ZuneHD. I wish I could win it myself. Have a great show and keep following me on this Blog and Twitter. I promise to keep it informative even after VMworld.
First off, I wanted to apologize for the lack of postings to my blog. I've been a little under the weather of late. Still, I saw this article and thought that it brought up some important points about virtualization and small and medium businesses (SMBs).
While the article headline is a little over the top, the actual post and the reference document it links to brings up important themes. This line in the article sums things up well.
In fact, if there's such a thing as "over-virtualization," an SMB server room is where you're most likely to find it. Schultz says that in some cases, SMBs may actually be virtualizing to an unhealthy degree. These smaller businesses sometimes find themselves "going on a craze of trying to over-consolidate, and trying to over-optimize, to the (detriment) of performance."
Again, it all goes back to understanding why businesses should virtualize and how much virtualization they need. I've said it again and again, that too much focus is on implementing virtualization and not enough on planning virtualization.
Does this mean that SMBs should not virtualize? Absolutely not. I think that SMBs may benefit the most from virtualization. The difference is to actually plan and use virtualization to benefit you, not have you benefit virtualization and virtualization vendors.
So we've just wrapped up day 2 at VMworld. I certainly have to say that day 2 went much better than day 1. I met so many great people down on the show floor. Since I've been to the last four VMworlds (US and Europe), I'm not surprised that so many at the show don't know that much about Microsoft Virtualization. It's great to just talk with people, no demos, no slides, just techies talking shop so to speak.
I was able to attend two sessions today. First, I went to EA3605 - Virtualizing Tier 1 Applications. Overall, the session was okay. It might have been expected but the session was a lot more about VMware features than really how to virtualize Tier 1 apps, or what are key issues, concerns, or even best practices on how to virtualize Tier 1 apps. It was much more of a product promo than an informational discussion.
Still, there were some interesting facts posted in the session. One slide showed that 73% of customers are using x86 virtualization for critical apps. That wasn't that surprising. What was surprising was a later slide, showing specific applications and what percentage of customers were virtualizing those applications in production. The numbers surprised me. While some apps (SQL Server for example) were above 50%, many were below that, some well below. Those applications included (Exchange, DB2, and SAP). Is that what people are seeing in their deployments?
Another interesting note in that sessions was how virtualization was helping the application lifecycle, speeding deployment. To me, deployment is the easy part of the application lifecycle. Application deployment is one area that has a lot of technology. It's the monitoring, updates, and retirement of applications that is difficult. That's where systems management and even application virtualization can really play a part. I know I keep harping on it but without in-guest knowledge of the application, how can you say you manage the entire application lifecycle?
The other session I went to was VM3103 - How VMware Reduces Cost per Application and OpEx Costs. I was hoping to hear some details on the testing methodology of the Taneja paper, one I've written about before, or possible new results. Unfortunately, I got a lot of slides with graphs with little details, of which half the time they were covered by a big text box saying how much the ratios are.
Sure I can see how the methodology might works but there are some weird assumptions:
If you want more details on the study, you can read this whitepaper on the whole subject.
I'll write more in the morning, especially about some of the neat technologies I saw on the expo hall. Don't forget to keep following my tweets (@edwinyuen) for information about the show and a chance to win a ZuneHD! If you are at the show, stop by both and say hi. See everyone tomorrow.
Well, just finished up with the opening keynote by Paul Maritz at VMworld 2009. They had a similar theme to VMworld Europe 2009 from last February. Lots of Hello and Goodbye phrases. My favorites: Goodbye Commodore 64, Goodbye Dial-up, Hello Kitty, Hello Microsoft (okay, I made the last one up but a lot of the phrases seemed the results of a meeting in a conference room for keywords). :)
Still, for me, the keynote was only fair. The primary reason for this is that a good portion of the keynote were slides and concepts that were introduced at VMworld Europe 2009 and that VMworld has been talking about since. There really wasn't anything new or significant shown during Paul's keynote. Maybe they are tying to save things for tomorrow's keynote. Also, the whole presentation didn't seem as energized as the keynotes at VMworld Europe 2009 and VMworld 2008. Maybe it was the early start, as I was still trying to wake up half-way through.
Paul laid out the virtualization journey, which progress from levels of virtualization and the savings that you derive from it. It's a good concept, very similar to our Dynamic Datacenter message that we've been talking about for while.
In the first key focus area of the keynote, VMware is being positioning as a Virtual Datacenter Operating System, a virtualization platform, with all the APIs and links to provide access to the virtual machines. Paul also said that vSphere took 2 years to create, more man-years invested than any Windows OS release he oversaw when he was at Microsoft.
This brings up an interesting issue with VMware marketing. When presenting concepts of integration, power, and services, they are big and powerful, an operating system. When we talk about security and patching, they are super small, not an operating system. You really can't have both and at some point, they are going to have to decide which VMware they, the strong platform for the future of Virtualization and Cloud or the small, dedicated software, without significant features or footprint.
The other major focus area was expanding the capability of vCenter beyond just VMware, providing insight into the physical hardware with integration with things like IBM and HP, and the insight into applications with SpringSource.
I think the thing to remember is Microsoft already does all of this and more. With Operations manager, we integrate with physical hardware, power monitoring, and other insight to provide that Physical and Virtual management, all from one console. From within Operations Manager now, you can integrate that critical in-guest knowledge that VMware is just starting to talk about.
Most importantly, VMware hasn't tied any of that information with a Live Migration capability, which we can do with the Performance Resource Optimization (PRO) feature of VMM. You can link all the parameters, physical hardware, OS installation, application and service level, that Operations Manager can monitor with actions that lead to Live Migrations and Optimizations. That's rebalancing VMs and hosts based on Applications and Service loads, which is really what you need to do. Performing optimizations based on VM load only is not a dynamic datacenter.
That's all on the keynote. I'll be heading to several sessions today so look out for blog and tweets on those sessions. Don't forget, follow me on twitter (@edwinyuen) for a chance to win a ZuneHD!

method_missing(method_id, *arguments)
Enables dynamic finders like find_by_user_name(user_name) and find_by_user_name_and_password(user_name, password) that are turned into find(:first, :conditions => ["user_name = ?", user_name]) and find(:first, :conditions => ["user_name = ? AND password = ?", user_name, password]) respectively. Also works for find(:all) by using find_all_by_amount(50) that is turned into find(:all, :conditions => ["amount = ?", 50]).
It's even possible to use all the additional parameters to find. For example, the full interface for find_all_by_amount is actually find_all_by_amount(amount, options).
This also enables you to initialize a record if it is not found, such as find_or_initialize_by_amount(amount) or find_or_create_by_user_and_password(user, password).
Each dynamic finder or initializer/creator is also defined in the class after it is first invoked, so that future attempts to use it do not run through method_missing.

Lisa Spitz anchors Today in Central New York.
MANLIUS -- There is a crosswalk on East Seneca Street in Manlius that is located in heart of the village. It's right by businesses like Bruegger's and traffic can get heavy.
Art Western and Jeff Fager use the crosswalk frequently because they are doing work on a building that overlooks the street. They are very careful when crossing and keep a close eye on drivers.
"They're not very nice about it, they honk, and usually don't stop," Western said.
Fager adds that drivers can often go fast.
"The drivers are just not paying attention enough or they're from a different town and they are not used to the stop signs," Fager says.
Two people are recovering after getting hit by a car Tuesday while they were in the crosswalk.
Captain Kevin Schafer with the Manlius Police Department say drivers need to pay attention and know the law.
"In New York State it's the operators' responsibility to yield to any pedestrian in a crosswalk, even if that cross walk is not at an intersection," Captain Schafer said.
With school back in session now, police say it's especially important drivers are careful when going through crosswalks.
"In some of the schools here in the town of Manlius, there are kids who walk to school so crosswalks are clearly a concern," Captain Schafer said.
Police say while it's rare someone gets hit in the crosswalk, it can easily be avoided.

Fukuoka residents Ale and Micaela recently won Lotte Fit's YouTube dance contest – but where did they get their moves?
With the recent surge in popularity of blogs and social networking sites like Facebook, viral marketing has become a very effective way for companies to advertise their wares on the internet for free. All you need is a reasonably interesting video and the right channels to get it out into the public domain. As an exercise in viral marketing, then, Lotte's recent YouTube dance contest was nothing short of genius.
The premise was simple: entrants made a short video of themselves performing the Lotte Fit's dance (as seen in TV ads), put it up on YouTube and the clip with the most views won a cool one million yen (not to mention a year's supply of gum). Now in its second year, the contest attracted thousands of entries.
Of these, there could be only one winner and in the end, the prize went to Alejandro Cremades, a software engineer from Spain, and Micaela Braithwaite a student from Canada – two friends who both currently live in Fukuoka. We caught up with the pair and asked them about shooting the video, how they got their 90,000+ views and what they're going to do with their new-found wealth.
FN: Tell me a little bit about the competition.
Ale: It is the second time Lotte has held it. You just have to post a video dancing like in the commercial and the most watched one wins. It's cool because the dance is fun and you don't have to encourage people to buy the product directly. I've seen a lot of similar contests and it's more fun when it's indirect like this one. Only counting YouTube views feels a bit raw, but that's OK if we win!
FN: Having entered unsuccessfully last year, why did you decide to give the contest another shot this year?
Micaela: Last year, we put everything into it. We practised for three days, we went all over Fukuoka, trying to think of places people around Japan would recognise. We tried to think of things that would make us stand out without having to use the gaijin card (which I think we ended up doing anyway).
In that contest, we were in third place for the entire duration of the thing and then the very last day we lost to someone else and ended up in fourth. So last time, we were so close to winning about a thousand dollars and we ended up with nothing. This time, when the competition came around, we thought "alright we can do it this time, we've improved, we've learned a little bit about making viral videos, we've learned about promotion and now we know there are people with high-trafficking websites and blogs that are willing to help us.
FN: How did you win?
Ale: We won as a result of our video's uniqueness and because of our contacts. There were few videos by foreigners in the competition and ours was outdoors and all. Most videos were in some girl's room and many of the entrants were dancing alone. I also think many people remembered us from when we entered last year. I appreciate a lot all the Japanese people liking our video even though they didn't know us. But our blog watchers, YouTube subscribers and Twitter followers were the key. We owe the most to them!
Micaela: Both Alejandro and myself have respective YouTube channels where we have a fair amount of subscribers. We thought that together with the connections we have and the people that are willing to support us, we had a chance.
We didn't expect to win first place but there was also a prize for each prefecture so we thought "we're pretty popular, we'll get that no problem." (ironic laugh)
FN: What was the concept behind the video?
Ale: We just wanted something like the last one: outside, the two of us, and at a busier place if possible. And, well, it's not the Shibuya crossing, but it's quite an iconic, busy place in Tenjin.
Micaela: We thought about where we could do it where people around us would watch us. So we chose a spot right in front of Iwataya in Tenjin because it's so crowded. We went down on Friday at 5 pm and there were people everywhere. We thought that if we danced there – practised all day and shot the video – that some people might actually remember it or some people might see it online and go "I saw those people downtown!"
Also, it's kind of one of the busiest spots in Tenjin and I think people from outside Fukuoka City could watch and go "Oh my God, I can't believe they're dancing in this busy spot at night."
FN: Were there any problems with shooting in public?
Ale: Nothing at all. People walking by didn't look annoyed and some of them even cheered us. It was great that no one walked too near the camera, so we had no "portrait rights" problems with Lotte.
Micaela: When we were practising, we would get together in Tenjin and go to the Taito arcade because it has a giant window in a spot where there aren't a lot of people. One day, there was a drunk guy who came and started to dance with us. He didn't leave for a bout 45 minutes! I have it all on film because we were recording it at the time. After a while he noticed that there was a camera and then he left.
FN: Did he have the dance down?
Micaela: He was kind of just going like this (illustrates with a weak pelvic thrust).
FN: How much rehearsal did you do beforehand?
Micaela: Last year, we did three days. This year, we already kind of knew the video, so I think we did it in two. You definitely feel it the next day because if there was a part we weren't really good at, we'd do it over and over again.
FN: Do you consider yourself a good dancer?
Ale: No. I can move in silly ways but it's hard for me to dance like you're supposed to dance.
Micaela: No, absolutely not.
FN: Do you chew gum?
Ale: Not at all. It makes me fart
Micaela: I do… sometimes. I haven't bought any recently because I keep telling myself I don't have to.
FN: What are you going to do with the year's supply of it?
Micaela: Once I receive it, I'm going to have to send out quite a few packets…
FN: What are you going to do with the cash?
Ale: I don't have any special plans but there were a lot of people that helped us over the internet, so I raffled a Nintendo DSi LL among my blog's readers. I also raffled ten sets of ten gum packs – I appreciate their help so much!
Micaela: There were a lot of people who helped us with the project. Our friend Carlos, who is from Costa Rica and lives here in Fukuoka, offered to come down and help us to shoot the video. When we were practising our dance too, he told us if we were out of sync with each other.
Our friend Jeff in Saga told people that every time they watched the video and left a comment, they would be put in a draw for a prize, so we ended up getting hundreds of comments on our video from people who wanted to enter for the prize.
So, with the money we're going to have a big thank you party for all the people who helped us. I'm hoping to save a lot of the money too. I really want to go to film school here in Fukuoka in the near future, but it's so expensive. I also have to pay off my MacBook which I recently purchased.
FN: Any last words?
Micaela: For many people, the internet and reality are two completely separate things and for me it's always been that way too. Winning the contest, though, I saw how you could use the internet to affect your reality. I always thought that people online don't matter in a way because I'll never meet them and they don't affect my real life. But now I see that they can. Without all of those people, we wouldn't have won and that money is something that's very real.

About Me Avid Gardener
Comments about Chippendale Planter:
These planters look perfect on my front porch. I had bought these for my Sister years ago and was sorry I too hadn't purchased a few for myself. They resemble the traditional "Williamsburg" planter boxes, yet a lot less expensive. Easy to assemble and clean.

I use the Chippendale Planters in front of my house. They look really good with the wicker furniture I have on my porch. I had a hard time assembling the first one, but I got the hang of it by the second one. The "instructions" did not help much. There were no words, only pictures.

By chip in the dale
from Haworth, NJ
Upon opening the box, it looked like a snap to put these together.That's how you assmble these planters by snapping them together.What a horror!!!It was VERY difficult and cumbersome. It took a long time and I was afraid that I was breaking it.I finally got the planter assembled but it's not a "perfect" fit.The top hides the problem.I actually spray painted the planter flat black to mimic a much more expensive planter.I tried satin black at first but it showed the plastic flaws.The flat black top coat was much more forgiving.Must say that it does look great.Wish these were also made in black.
I would certainly buy this product again

Agile Beer Night is this Thursday, Feb 25 at Daman's Pub in Redmond. This month's topic is Test Driven Development… Do you use TDD? What kind of tests do you write? Unit tests? Acceptance tests? Please come to share your experience, and learn from others. Anyone wanting to do some hands-on real TDD, and see it in action, please drop by!
Please come socialize with us if you can, for networking, sharing agile experiences, and of course BEER!
Pour, Drink, Refactor... See you at Daman's on Thursday the 25th!
Seminar: Synergies Between Patterns and TDD
Patterns in software are valuable for a number of reasons, but chief among them is that they help keep code quality high, and allow systems to change without excessive risk and cost. Test-Driven Development is also valuable in many ways, including these same issues. That leads one to ask: if TDD and patterns deliver similar value, is there even more value to be found in using them together? Can tests lead us to patterns? Can patterns lead us to better tests? This seminar will examine these issues and show how learning both patterns and TDD enhances the value of both disciplines.

EL PASO, Texas -- The children enter the room in a burst of laughter and smiles. Hola, bueñas tardes, a boy says, throwing his arms around Father Arturo Bañuelas, pastor of St. Pius.
They sing, say a prayer and glue colorful tissue paper to butterfly designs, waving their art in the air as volunteers prepare grilled cheese, fish sticks and Capri Sun.
It is a joyful scene that belies the circumstances that created this gathering in a building across the street from Bañuelas church, a few blocks from the U.S.-Mexico border. The 15 children, ages 5 to 8, were picked up by authorities as they tried to cross without their parents.
Where are you from, Emely? Bañuelas asks a 7-year-old in a yellow shirt and pigtails. From Honduras, she replies in soft-spoken Spanish. She traveled with a 16-year-old cousin, trying to reach her mother, who arrived in the U.S. illegally five years ago.
I spent four nights in the desert, says a boy, telling about frightening wolves and running from Border Patrol. I had cactus thorns on my feet.
Across town, a peasant woman rests at a shelter. She recently fled Mexico and the drug cartel hitmen who murdered her husband, oldest daughter and 2-year-old grandson because the husband refused to work as a mule, carrying drugs through the desert into Arizona.
These are the overlooked faces of immigration.
The political debate, and the heat and rhetoric that go along with it, focuses on jobs and security. But in El Paso, the human side is inescapable.
Here, families torn apart by deportations struggle to stay connected, while in the shadow of the border a happier struggle plays out in the sounds of people learning the names of presidents in order to pass a test to become a U.S. citizen.
Border town
This city of 665,000 was at the vanguard of border enforcement in the mid 1990s but now seems to collectively shout: enough.
The conversation is increasingly focused on how the buildup has hurt business and family ties with the city a short way over the border, Ciudad Juarez.
To pretend that somehow their reality is not connected to whats going on in our country is totally unjust, said Ruben Garcia. He runs Annunciation House, a shelter for immigrants fleeing violence situated not far from Juarezs maquiladoras, assembly plants that pay wages a fraction of what workers earn in the United States.
Most of the people at Annunciation House are seeking asylum but U.S policies are less generous to Latin America and favor more political hotspots such as Cuba and China. Only two out of every 100 Mexican applications for asylum are granted, said Garcia, an intense man who does not mince words.
All of this border enforcement has been a strategy to satisfy the political constituency in the northern part of the U.S., he said.
The feeling is not uncommon in El Paso, where 80 percent of the population is Mexican-American, but feelings toward immigration and border security are, of course, noticeably different than other areas of the Southwest, where fences are little deterrent to human and drug smuggling.
On a crusade
While some here say legalizing drugs would ease the problem, Bañuelas crusades against them, seeing a direct connection to violence across the border and why people will do anything to enter the United States. Hes performed funerals for the victims and noticed the police outside, watching for signs of retribution. He once had to ask the parish to help raise $70,000 ransom for a woman kidnapped in Juarez.
