Ok, let's go to http://www.ibiblio.org/jmaynard/ and read the bit right above the download link:

I repeat my earlier assertion that for most of the 1970's proprietary software wasn't even an issue on the hobbyist programmer community's radar. When Gates did his "letter to hobbyists" in 1976 the response was essentially to laugh it off. The Lyons book was published before anyone knew if it was even legally possible to copyright source code, which was made explicit by a new law passed in 1979, and whether or not that copyright extension covered binaries wasn't settled until Apple sued Franklin over the ROM images in its' Apple II clones in 1983. (So between 1979 and 1983 if you wanted to be sure copyright covered your work you made darn sure to distribute source code with prominent copyright notices.)
Which gets us back to "the FSF wasn't being visionary, it was being reactionary and conservative from day 1".
> Linux itself has already been replaced.
Plus existence of BSD and MacOSX and the Posix certifications of Windows NT and OS/360...
Closer to home, Shawn Jackman built a subset of the BusyBox applets under newlib+libgloss in 2005, running against the bare metal with no underlying OS kernel.
What Linux pioneered was modern open source collaborative development through the internet with release early/release often and all that jazz. And he's pioneered scaling that mode with a driver maintainers layer between the project's leader and the developers, and then it went to a four-layer thing with the lieutenants (essentially subsystem maintainers above the driver maintainers). Plus being the first project to apply a modern distributed source control system to open source development.
The Cathedral and the Bazaar was a paper about how Linus's working style differed from that of the FSF. (The cathedral was specifically the FSF.) The FSF benefitted from the internet but Linux was the first development project predicated on taking full advantage of it from day one. (The FSF insisted on physical copyright assignments with a signature on a piece of paper, and still do. Linus often merges over a hundred patches in a day, that kind of bureaucracy just wouldn't work.)
Should it be GNU/Linux

I discuss these theories in terms of two fundamentally different development styles, the ``cathedral'' model of most of the commercial world versus the ``bazaar'' model of the Linux world.
Perhaps this is not only the future of open-source software. No closed-source developer can match the pool of talent the Linux community can bring to bear on a problem. Very few could afford even to hire the more than 200 (1999: 600, 2000: 800) people who have contributed to fetchmail!

IBM didn't make the existing versions proprietary, they stopped releasing new open versions. (Keep in mind IBM didn't accept outside contributions to their OS. The modern equivalent of this is that the sole copyright holder were free to issue new licenses, as Sun is doing with the GPL. But the code that was out there stayed out there.)
IBM's big change of heart was called the "Object Code Only (OCO) Policy", issued February 8, 1983. Here's a copy of their original announcement: http://landley.net/history/mirror/ibm/oco.html
Here's the final report of SHARE's attempt to get IBM to change its mind (essentially giving up 5 years later): http://www.redbug.org/dba/sharerpt/share71/s987.html
And an history article putting it in context: http://www.itworld.com/Comp/1369/LWD000606S390/

Going from a world that had less than a hundred thousand computers in it to a world that has more than a hundred million in the space of about 15 years led to some impressive culture shock on the part of the programming community. What happened is that most of the existing programmers didn't see alternative ways of doing things as a _threat_, because they didn't realize they were about to be outnumbered by a factor of 1000.

He was striving to maintain the status quo. Return to the glorius past. The way we did it in the good old days was superior to these newfangled professional software development businesses.
He may have been right, but that doesn't change the nature of his actions. And how right he was when what he was originally trying to defend was the ITS system against the MIT administration, and the rebase to Unix only came about when the PDP-10 hardware line and proposed "Jupiter" follow-on project were cancelled (also in 1983), rendering ITS (written entirely in PDP-10 assembly) a clear dead-end. His move to Unix was forced upon him when ITS died, he just wanted to move as little as possible.
Fast forward to _today_ and people are going "oh, what great new insights do you have for us with your keen eye for the future" when all he ever did was prefer 1977 to 1983. I do not look for great insights from this man, I look for clever hacks to defend ideas from the 1970's, often with long elaborate rationalizations for things he's already made up his mind on. (Show me the last time he _changed_ his mind due to new information. Yeah I know, he's not inflexible, he's making a stand on principle. I honestly thought he might take up the cause of deCSS in 2000, but ITS couldn't play DVDs. There still isn't a GNU deCSS implementation. Not a battle he wants to fight.)

From Eric Raymond directly, while editing The Art of Unix Programming (check the intro for my name), and outright co-authoring things like the OSI reaction paper to the SCO lawsuit, Halloween 9, and the 64-bit paper (which he insisted on titling "world domination 201")...
It's in the book, though, if you look for it: http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/cathed...

A couple times he's talked about a specific 1996 conference that Tim O'Reiley put together (and that he, Linus, and RMS attended) where worked it all out for the first time, seeing them next to each other and thinking about the differences. I could ask him for details...
> I don't see why not. The piece of paper is just needed once per > developer;
Needed at precisely the wrong time.
I touched on it here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2002/1/29/9
Most developers start out as casual contributors. A line here, a bugfix there. The less they have invested in participating in a project's development, the more easily discouraged they are. Needing a sign-off to get cvs commit access is one thing, but needing a sign-off to take your five line function? Eh, it wasn't that important anyway.
> developers do not change that much,
In a project with 1000 semi-regular contributors, the top 20 don't change that much month to month. Call the newspapers.
The point is where do they come from? Let's look at a couple of examples:
Con Koliavs: scheduler dude. When he got into Linux his day job was as an Australian anesthesiologist, he started poking around Linux for fun. First time he wandered away, two years later he tried again and got hooked: http://kerneltrap.org/node/465
Andrew Morton, current #2 in the development community. Only got involved in the project in 2000, because a NIC he was using had been declared obsolete and he sent in a patch fixing it. (Was anybody other than him still _using_ that NIC? Dunno. He could have maintained it out of tree, but it was easier to get it merged so it wouldn't break again.) http://kerneltrap.org/node/10
Even the early adopters did stuff before Linux. Alan Cox used to do Amiga stuff and MUDs, Peter Anvin first used Linux to put together terminal servers...
Back when I read the first year or so of the linux kernel mailing list, I collected a few interesting posts (with links back to the originals in the archive): http://landley.net/history/mirror/linux/1991.html http://landley.net/history/mirror/linux/1992.html
Now ask yourself: how many of those people would have just wandered away again if Linus had asked them to fill out paperwork as a condition of participating?
Attracting and breaking in new developers is extremely important to the long-term health of a project. This is why things like kernelnewbies.org exist.

I do hope you're right and the FSF is being more realistic now. Not to long ago, though, they required papers for just about anything. I think I still have the proof in my filing cabinet!

It looks like you slipped in just above that limit.
(I find it very little effort to do the occasional copyright assignment dance: the *really* annoying part is getting your employer to disclaimer-of-rights forms, because even if they agree they can be *so* damn slow at it it's not true. I've had to wait >6mths for these sometimes.)

[about RMS, and his visionary qualities] >Why is that "reactionary"? He was striving to maintain the status quo. Return to the glorius past.
>Why is that "reactionary"?
He was striving to maintain the status quo. Return to the glorius past.
Stallman wanted not to return to a naïve past where kind people shared code, but go on to a new situation where people wrote free software because they wanted it to be free, and companies (a new concept) pooled their effort. Guess what, it works.
[again about RMS, and his cathedralicious model of development] It's in the book, though, if you look for it: http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/cathed...

When should one sign a letter with "Yours faithfully" or "Yours sincerely"?
This is called "complimentary close". As reported by Oxford Handbook of Commercial Correspondence:
| |||||||||
I usually just write "Sincerely,". I understand it to be a contraction of "I am yours sincerely" or "I am yours faithfully". If I used it, I'd probably invert it to "Sincerely yours," or "Faithfully yours,". These statements are typically reserved for love letters or other personal correspondence, although faithful could technically describe a business relationship. | |||||||||
I've been taught the following distinction:
That being said, it has been my experience that these are used less and less, especially in electronic communications. I would still prefer them in dead-tree letters, but only in the most formal of circumstances (probably when invited to a cup of tea by the Queen of England...). | |||||||||
The modern era does not routinely recognize the "complimentary close" as such, and its use is becoming rather quaint. | |||
I just use "Thank you" - it seems to fit everywhere and doesn't sound like the letter was auto-generated by some letter writing wizard. | |||
Since Julius didn't specifically ask for a «commercially» correct way of signing a letter, less informal alternatives to what others have posted include:

I stayed at the hotel adjacent to the stadium, which was boring but extremely convenient. The route took on some old and new town and overall was excellent, with mainly Tarmac and minimal cobble stones which were not an issue for me. Excellent goody bag, realistic price, brilliant cheap public transport and a fun before and after pasta party. Once I have done other Marathons in my todo list I will definitely be back.
I'm very positive about this marathon: - The course is flat and very fast - Well organized during the race (that is the most important part) - Nice finish in the Olympic Stadium - City is beautiful and you see (almost) all of it during the race - Cheap to compete (¬21) and a nice running shirt and shorts for free Small down sides: - The expo was in a distant part of the town, not easy to get there - All the communication is in Spanish (!) - few people speak English, but they are very helpful Certainly will do this one again!
The city and the course lived up to all expectations. Throw in perfect weather conditions and you could not find a better place to run in the Spring. Out on the course, cyclists were an annoyance. I have no problem with them encouraging friends but not when they get in the way of competitors. This aspect needs to be tidied up. It proved impossible to get transport, taxi or bus, back to my hotel after the marathon. I had no choice but to walk the whole way back to the city centre. Surely a bus could have been laid on or a taxi rank established near the stadium. As regards picking up my bag after the race, they would need to have printed large numbers to stick on the bags that are easy for the volunteers to read. It took an eternity for bags to be identified. All that said, I would highly recommend Seville and it was a great trip.
As this was my first maraton - i have notning to compare with - but overall for me it was a great experience . The spectators on route were brilliant - the organisation fine. The route was flat and tolk the runners along some very nice parts of Sevilla - there were plenty water stations - and all staff very helpfull. Very good atsmosphere - I will come again.
I ran this with some members of my Running club, I found the course pancake flat, the raceday organisation was good, started from the back though! Weather started cold and got quite hot which is difficult. Expo organisation and layout a bit odd, they seemed to have a multi queue system. Some parts of the course are a bit bereft of support, near the end especially before you hit the stadium - otherwise a really fine race - would do again. Goody bag and race pack are amazing value for money.
Sevilla 2012 my first marathon, really enjoyed the experience from bib pick up to finish. Expo is small but bag had many good things in it, T shirt, shorts, magazines, pistachio, stands selling value for money gear. The race day was made easy by well organization, being my first marathon I don't have other to compare to but everyone seemed enjoying. Good support from the local around the course, water, oranges, sponges and sport drinks were plentiful and towel, medal, food & drinks at arrival. Would definetly do it again.
This was my first marathon and I really don't expect to partake in another so well organised and such good value for money. Bib pick-up, the expo, the start (although if you want to run a PB get towards the front of the pack!) and being funnelled out after the race...all exceptionally organised. Goody bag was awesome....bib, shorts, socks, magazines, pistachio nuts! Medal, towel, goody bag with drinks and food after the race...water, powerade, oranges and sponges during the race....stadium start and finish. Great experience, with only the heat (crept up to around 21c during the race) a negative....thanks to all who helped organise the marathon and to those who cheered along the route!
Sevilla was my first ever marathon, I'm an American that now lives in the South of Spain. I was not going to leave a review until I had something to compare it to. Having just run Berlin I can say I prefer Sevilla. I ran faster in Berlin but that marathon is too big and too corporate. Sevilla does not have the big crowds but it does all the little things right. -A nice shirt, shorts, and a free bag for a very low entry fee. -It has a small town grass roots feel, volunteers put a towel on you when you finish, take the chip off your shoe for you. -Water bottles vice cups was nice on the course as were the orange slices. I also liked the course which is a loop and does not have too many turns. I'll be running it again and hopefully continue to get faster.
I've run 10 previous marathons including some of the biggest on both sides of the Atlantic. This race capped them all in terms of organization, facilities for runners, value, etc. For a race entry of 20, there was lunch for participants and 1 friend on the day prior to and day of the race including soft drinks/beers. The race pack included running shorts and vest. The post-race food bag was enough to feed a small army with again more beer/soft drinks being served if you wanted. There were drinks around the course every 2.5K, and energy drinks every 5K. The course is very flat and fast, the only slow part being the start getting out of the stadium. There are proportionally much more faster runners here than any other marathon I've done. More than 10% finished sub-3 and the cut-off is 5 hours. The city is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and makes for a lovely weekend break. It was my first sub-3 so this will always be a memorable race for me.
This was my 160th marathon overall and I was very surprised that after 36 years (this was 37th), they hadn't learned how to be efficient in giving out the bib numbers (it was a bad - really bad). And the start was the worst I've ever encountered in any marathon. The course was very nice, so it made me forget the expo and the start experience. I am from Spain, living in the USA for a long time, and I was very surprised how rude the Spanish runners were. The organization should use the same method to give the bib as they used to check the bags. They should assign lines by bib numbers and start by corrals. They should allow the runners to be ready 10 to 15 minutes before the gun - not one minute before - to avoid the pushing. Overall, I had a good experience, and the very flat course is great for a PR.

Order Standard by 2 p.m. ET 12/19 for 12/24 delivery. Standard $25+ orders ship free
I have dark brown hair, and my brows are pretty dark, so I ordered the deep color. It's darker than I'm used to, closer to black than brown, but I like the color. What I don't like is the texture. I thought it would be great that it's a kind of waxy pencil, I was mistaken. After using this everyday for a while I won't buy it again. The waxy consistency keeps brows more in place than a powdery pencil, but it comes off when I brush my brows so that basically half the product I put on comes right off. It is not cost effective, it has been used up way too quickly, I have to sharpen it every other day. Basically the Chanel brow pencil for $30 I had before this I only had to sharpen once a week (using every day) and it was way more cost effective and looked more natural. How ironic that a Chanel pencil is more cost effective. Overall I am really dissatisfied with this product and when it runs out I will not be re-purchasing.
I love how easily and smooth this pencil goes on. The added spoolie is super convenient too! It stays on very well as well.
Absolutely love this brow pencil! I have pretty full eyebrows but like to make them look perfect. You just need light strokes and your look is complete!
I got the medium color to help shape up my dark brown brows. It stays put all day, and I love the little brush on the end to help get that perfect shape.
I love this pencil. I have medium-dark brows and I ordered the medium. I wish I had gone with the lighter color until I really learned how to use it though. It's easy to build the color, but it takes a few tries to really perfect the shape you want.
Light enough to look natural, but with enough color to do the job. The spoolie on the end is just the right size.
This brow pencil is excellent. It's my new go-to beauty secret. I'm a redhead with somewhat dark (for a redhead) brows and the Light color worked perfectly for me. This looks totally natural and really is a secret weapon! I have been using it daily for about a week and already had to sharpen it twice, so I will say that I don't think it will last too long, but I still say the price is worth it and will definitely order again! The brush on the end is great too!
I have a love/hate relationship with this pencil. The color has always been perfect (I have used the blonde and brown through hair color changes), however I think it is greasy and it uses up pretty fast (less than 3 weeks of daily use). The LOVE part is that, in pictures, my eyebrows have NEVER looked better and I get a ton of compliments when I use it.
I was not satisfied with this brow pencil...The color of the pencil was a charcoal gray - it translated into gray on my brows, too...I immediately cleaned it off with a baby wipe! I will be returning this product!
So easy to use and looks totally natural. I have very light blonde eyebrows and the "light" color is perfect. A+!!

Or, like me, do you spend all your time fiddling & configuring & finding more add-ons & configuring them & just when you get it absolutely awesome, get bored & play with it some more
Honestly, I love xbmc, it's amazing. I used to be heavily into modified cars & I don't think I ever 'finished' a single one.
I feel my relationship with XBMC is going to be the same.
Don't know what I'll do if i ever get to the point where I've run out of stuff to add.
Learn Python & make my own add-ons possibly?
Anyway, big thanks to the Devs & the community. Don't go changing!

Using Technology to Transform Our Inner Selves
Do you need help with becoming more mindful and staying present to what is true for you ...what you want ...and how you feel? What do you think about an APP to help you do that? As a child, I was taught to please everyone around me and so I learned to quiet that inner voice inside me that needed attention, too. It took many years for me to find it again (and even today) I still find myself pushing through getting something done, while that voice is clearly saying take some time to rest, ...you deserve it!

- About WTHR
Prostate cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer in America – and also one of the most treatable. One in six American men is diagnosed with prostate cancer.
There are about 250,000 new cases diagnosed each year, and a man who doesn't smoke is more likely to develop prostate cancer than colon cancer, bladder cancer, melanoma, lymphoma, and kidney cancer combined. According to the Prostate Cancer Foundation, men are 35 percent more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer than women are to be diagnosed with breast cancer.
Prostate cancer is serious, but it's also very treatable if detected early. It's generally a slow-growing cancer and nearly 100 percent of men whose prostate cancer is detected before it spreads to other parts of the body are disease-free after five years.
Today, there are nearly 2 million Americans living with prostate cancer.

Updating an old RV ceiling vent with an undersized 12-volt fan with a new power ceiling fan/vent combo is a great way to improve airflow inside your RV. A powerful ceiling fan like the Fan-Tastic Vent 4000R (Item #1631) helps pull fresh air in or push stale air out to eliminate odors and control temperatures in your RV. It's a job that a handy RVer can do at home, using some basic tools.
1. Unscrew and remove the interior trim ring and the crank handle on the old vent.
2. On the roof, scrape away the old sealant and unscrew the old vent. (If the vent has a cover, you will likely need to remove it to get to the vent mounting screws.)
3. After unscrewing the old vent assembly from the roof, carefully lift it from the opening. Mark the 12-volt wiring to the old vent so it will be easy to reconnect the new power vent. Use wire cutters to snip the wiring to the old vent, leaving enough to splice the new vent's wiring to it.
4. With the old vent removed and the vent opening exposed, scrape away the remnants of sealant left on the roof surface.
5. Carefully measure and mark the placement of the new vent. If the new vent is square and the old vent had radius corners, you will have to saw out the corners of the roof opening to accommodate the new vent.
6. After making any needed adjustments to the vent opening, apply sealant tape to the underside of the exterior flange (the area that comes into contact with the roof surface) and place the new vent assembly into the opening. Check the fit and wire routing path, inside and out. Tip: a Universal Vent Installation Kit (Item #8491 for fiberglass or metal roofs, #31553 for rubber roofs) includes new mounting screws and sealant tape to simplify vent replacement.
7. Back on the roof, carefully screw the new vent into place using the new mounting screws in the Universal Vent Installation Kit (see above).
8. Back inside the RV, reconnect the 12-volt wires to the leads on the new vent, making sure you leave enough slack to gently tuck the wires into the space between the ceiling and vent sleeve. Tip: crimp-style connectors provide the best connection between the vent and coach wiring, protecting the wire splice and helping prevent short-outs; their slim design makes them smaller to tuck away than twist-type connectors.
9. Before applying sealant around the exterior flange of the new vent, test the vent and fan operation. If there is a problem that requires removing the vent assembly, it will be easier to do now than after the sealant is applied.
10. If all functions check out, carefully slip the interior trim ring into place. Depending on the thickness of your RV's roof, you may need to trim away part of the interior sleeve of the trim ring for a proper fit. Tip: to get the proper depth on the interior sleeve, insert the trim ring and mark it at the ceiling surface. Remove the trim ring, measure the distance from the top of the interior sleeve to the mark you just made, then re-mark the sleeve at the correct depth all the way around. Use tin snips to trim away the excess portion of the sleeve.
11. Install the new interior trim ring with the included screws.
12. Back on the roof and with the new ceiling fan/vent installed and working properly, apply a high quality self-leveling sealant (Dicor Self-Leveling Sealant, Item #32125) liberally around the edges of the new vent flange and over the screw heads.
Your new power ceiling fan/vent is now ready to keep you cool and comfortable in your RV. Save the warranty information and owner's manual for your new power vent, storing it with your RV owner's manual.
If you are not comfortable climbing on your RV roof, or if you want to install a power ceiling fan/vent in place of a non-powered vent and need additional wiring, let the professionals at any Camping World SuperCenter install it for you.

- How to Read a Study Record
Hirschsprung disease is a genetic condition caused by lack of nerve cells in varying lengths of the intestines. This study will investigate the complex genetic basis of the disease, which involves multiple interacting genetic factors.
Condition |
Hirschsprung Disease |
Study Type: | Observational |
Study Design: | Observational Model: Family-Based Time Perspective: Prospective |
Official Title: | Genetic Analysis of Hirschsprung Disease |
Study volunteers are asked to provide blood or cheek swab/saliva samples. DNA is extracted from the samples for use in the study.
Estimated Enrollment: | 2000 |
Study Start Date: | January 2001 |
Dr. Aravinda Chakravarti's laboratory at Johns Hopkins University has been investigating the genetics of Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) for more than twenty years and has played an important role in identifying several genes involved. However, there is more work to be done in clarifying the genetic basis of HSCR. The aims of the study are to continue the search for genes involved in Hirschsprung disease, to further characterize known genes, and improve our understanding of how genes interact to lead to the disorder. Our expectation is that the study will lead to better understanding of the genetics of Hirschsprung disease and, further down the road, improved diagnosis, treatment, and genetic counseling.
Study volunteers are individuals with Hirschsprung disease and their family members. Study volunteers are asked to complete a medical/family history questionnaire and to submit blood samples (or cheek swab/saliva samples) from the individual(s) affected with Hirschsprung disease and, if available, his/her parents. The researchers may also ask for access to some medical records. Interested participants will receive a study kit in the mail, which includes the questionnaire, consent forms, and blood collection and shipping supplies. The study will reimburse participants for costs associated with the blood draw.
In the laboratory, DNA is extracted from the samples and a variety of methods are used to study individual DNA sequences. Individual results are not disclosed but newsletters are distributed with updates about the study's findings. Please contact the study coordinator, Courtney Berrios, for more information.
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | Yes |
Sampling Method: | Non-Probability Sample |
The study population includes individuals with Hirschsprung disease and their family members.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Hirschsprung disease, any segment length, confirmed by full-thickness biopsy
- Syndromic or non-syndromic (other anomalies or health problems present or absent)
- Isolated case or multiple cases in family

The U.S. Ambassador to Georgia is contradicting official Obama Administration policy. Is he working on orders from his superiors? In "Uproar in Georgia over U.S. Ambassador's Pro-Palestinian Maneuvering" in the American Thinker, January 9, Pamela Geller explains why the Republic of Georgia is abuzz with this question:
The Republic of Georgia is in an uproar. Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili has issued a statement about the explosive revelations I broke in the American Thinker in December: that the U.S. ambassador to Georgia, Richard Norland, whispered in his ear to vote in favor of the U.N. resolution declaring a "Palestinian" state, which is diametrically opposed to official U.S. policy.But why should anyone be surprised? People actually seem taken aback by the nomination of the virulently Jew-hating Chuck Hagel as secretary of defense, when actually everything in Obama's foreign policy points to this very tendency. If Obama had appointed John Bolton, or anyone else pro-Israel, that would have been a shock. But the kapos are wringing their hands over Hagel? Really? Obama's anti-Israel stance has been fiercely consistent, as I exposed in my 2009 true-life political thriller, The Post-American Presidency.
The revelations about Ivanishvili and Norland that I reported were based on statements made by Gabriel M. Mirilashvili, a noted Georgian businessman and owner of a corporation. Just before the November 29 United Nations vote granting non-member-state observer status to "Palestine," Mirilashvili, who is the vice president of the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress, as well as head of the World Congress of Georgian Jews, had a meeting with Ivanishvili. Mirilashvili stated that when he had urged Ivanishvili to oppose the Palestinian statehood resolution, Ivanishvili told him that Norland had recommended that Georgia vote in favor of the resolution.
Sources in both countries inform me that in Israel as well as in Georgia, politicians and ordinary people alike were shocked by the revelation that an American ambassador, an Obama appointee, would be quietly directing a nation to vote against what is actually official U.S. policy -- which either makes him a renegade or shows Obama and Clinton to be two-faced liars and hypocrites who oppose a Palestinian state publicly while supporting it and working for it privately. After my article was published, high-ranking government officials in Georgia's Ministry of Defense were removed from their posts. There are rumors that the deputy defense minister is going to be removed as well.
Gabriel Mirilashvili, apparently feeling under pressure, wrote a letter to the editor of the Israeli internet portal izrus.co.il, which had reprinted part of my article, saying that he did not know me and had not spoken to me about his meeting with Bidzina Ivanishvili.
But this was not the point. I never claimed that I spoke directly with Mirilashvili. In my article, I wrote only that "this information comes from Gabriel M. Mirilashvili." And so it was predictable that Mirilashvili's attempt at deflection didn't calm the controversy in
Georgia. Prime Minister Ivanishvili ultimately had to make a statement himself. In it, he confirmed that he had indeed met with Gabriel Mirilashvili and that they had spoken about politics.A Georgian journalist then asked the prime minister about his conversation with Ambassador Norland; Ivanishvili responded curtly that that conversation was part of "a process that is not for talk -- about who, what, and to whom was said." Notably, he did not say that the now-notorious conversation had not taken place at all.
That's as close to a confirmation as you're going to get from a politically careful and savvy prime minister.

"Don't ever forget how incurably alone you are in this world" I love that. LOL
Did anyone else notice this article was like 8 years old? How did you even find this fucking thing? Pretty sure Jason has not been affiliated with the Pitch since sometime around the Pink Socks era.
Mike Allmayer is a real nice guy---and i have been in awe of his talent since the late 80s.
The new album lives up to all the accolades. Well done, gents - and it's also great to see the name Danny Alexander as the interviewer/journalist. He's one of KC's finest music writers, and his work has been greatly missed.
Is anyone else aware they have not paid the artists or vendors ?
Glad you finally caught on to Gee Watts.
Shame that groups still feel the need to move out of the area. You'd think that Appleseed Cast would have shown everyone that it doesn't matter where you're based out of if you tour enough and get your music out there through the internet. Oh well, the scene isn't very supportive or expansive so I can't blame them. I'm just tired of losing talented musicians to Austin, Portland and Brooklyn. Probably similar story in a lot of cities though.
Gee Watts is performing at Dancefestopia Music Festival in KC.
Great interview. Jordan's a great guy. I wish HS all the success they can handle.
Where the F is your article on Jazzoo?
This is stupid but interesting. Just because 2011 fell well short of anticipated sales, it was a fun and good festival, it did come out of nowhere and could have been a building block to establish something. I thought the reasoning for no 2012 show was the construction at the Legends. They always said they'd be back for 2013 (article does not articulate this). So, they had to knock it out of the park in 2013 to establish credibility. They did not. It would have been nice for KC to have a yearly event like this.
Why would it be?
Words cannot express how much I despise the name Kanrocksas--What the fucksas?
and somehow Dancefestopia in Kansas City is not mentioned.
Dancefestopia Music Festival... electronic like Kanrocksas, hip-hop like Kanrocksas, 40+ local artists unlike Kanrocksas, but no mention in the article? It's a Kansas City music festival. http://Dancefestopia.com for reference
At least you guys are only charging $10 to see Everclear, Sponge, Live and Filter. Was Better Than Ezra not available?
Larry, thank you so much for your wonderful article! And many thanks also for letting people know how great the Green Lady is, John Scott has really added a sweet lil' treasure to the KC Jazz scene.
Love this band. Can't wait until Tuesday!
Maybe he and Robert Moore can have a turntable duel.

This was a Santa present and boy did it live up to our expectations. Our 5 y/o is new to gaming and his little hands had trouble with the XBox. This was perfect for him! The set comes with 3 characters, JetVac & Cynder are Skylanders and TreeRex is a Skylander Giant. Along with the system controller with Numbchuck, Portal and Game we were ready to go with the game by 10 am Christmas morning. He loves it & the 3 year old loves to watch with him! Great family fun! Now we have gotten several more games including 3 Lego Games, Disney Princess, Dance Game and Wii Fit! Great fun for the whole family!

We are new to WII. Thank goodness we had 3 boys sleeping over that already had the game or we never would have figured out how to work it. The instructions on how to use the controler are not clear. Ie.how to pause the game. When 2 can play and when they can't. What earth signs are or what it means to be undead. There is no insight you just have to stumble through and figure it out through trial and error.

I would buy this product again
By Mo
from Burlington MA
The Wii was a great purchase to replace a wii we had for a long time which burned out from so much use for years. The skylanders game was a hit with my three daughters and now they are able to use the other wii games we had.What I disliked about the wii is that we got the model that does not play gamecube games which we have lots of. Didn't realize this till after the purchase.

About Me Hardcore Gamer
Wii is still a great product for younger kids and non traditional gamers. Bought this for my 7 yr old daughter for Christmas, we already own a Wii (thanks to her dad), and she enjoys playing Mario with me and such. I got her one for her room to encourage her to be a more independent gamer and use more of her logic and trial and errors to solve problems in games instead of just relying on dad to help her through.she also really wants one to go in her room and This was a great bundle to set her up. She is really interested in skylanders and so am i after the great reviews the first game got, giants looked like a well placed addition in that universe. It will be a game she will need my help to get going, but i think she will get a lot out of the game too, got some extra characters but the bundle has enough to get you going. Includes skylanders giants game, portal of power, two normal characters, and one giant character, blue Wii, blue remote and blue numchuck. Good value and a bundle she will be really happy with, and only a few bucks more than a normal Wii bundle

Rincon de la Victoria
Rincon de la Victoria :
Rincon de la victoria 10km to the east of Malaga is a good sized town of about 30000 people that attracts a big crowd in the summer months. Its proximity to Malaga makes it a town of choice for a lot of young people who work in Malaga and it can be pretty lively at night. Beaches in the area and all blue flag the main playa Rincon is situated in a large picturesque cove. Watersports are high on the list of things to do in Rincon, and there is also good golf nearby. As you would imagine for a town of its size there is an excellent selection of shops and restaurants. Sights to see are the eighteenth century fortress, Casa Fuerte Bezmiliana and the Cueva del Tesoro(treasure caves) so called because Moorish kings were reputed to have hidden their treasures there whilst retreating from the Christian invaders.

How to Get Straight Hair: Tips and Tricks
By Kathie Scheidler
Most women love straight hair! It is certainly a look that never goes out of style. You may have thought it was difficult, but there are actually some very easy ways to get straight hair within your own home and without the aid of a professional stylist.
How to Find the Best Straightener for Your Hair
There are many hair straighteners available on the market. The best options are ceramic ones because they reduce frizz, prevent split-ends, and help to protect your hair from heat damage. You will want a smaller width straightener if you have short hair and a larger width if you have long hair.
One of the best tools to get straight hair is the Revlon Perfect Heat Professional Straightener with Ceramic, $21.49, Wal-Mart. This straightener is available in 1, 1 1/2, and 2-inch widths and heats up in only 60 seconds. It will keep your hair looking straight for several days or until your next shampoo.
How to Straighten Your Hair Without Using Heat
Over time, your hair may become damaged from the heat used to style your hair. There are many things, however, you can do to straighten your hair if you do not want to use heat. Certain products are specially made just to help you get straight hair. Check out the Garnier Fructis's Sleek and Shine line of products, $3.99-$6.29, at Walgreens. The line includes shampoo, conditioner, hairspray, hair serum, and smoothing milk. You can use these products along with a large, flat brush for best results. In addition, you can set your hairdryer on a cold setting to help dry your hair while you brush it out.
How to Prevent Your Hair From Frizzing to Keep a Straight Look
One of the greatest reasons women find it difficult to get straight hair is that hair tends to frizz because of the elements. Humidity and bad weather seem to make it impossible to keep your hair straight even after all your work. If you have thick hair, your hair will even be more prone to frizz than if you have thin hair because thick hair's structure has up to two times more cells.
There are, however, some easy tips to help you keep your hair under your control. First, you should always use conditioner after you shampoo to moisturize your hair. As well, always rinse your hair with cold water after you finish. This will help to close the hair follicle.
Hair varies a lot from one person to the next. To get straight hair, you will likely need to experiment with finding the method that will work best for you. Remember that the best starting point to get the style you want is to make sure your hair is healthy. This begins with eating a balanced diet and getting plenty of rest.
