Paid Development in Open Source
April 28, 2009, 08:22:31 pm »
First, I want to express my gratitude to the developers working to make LinuxMCE as good as it possibly can be. I also want to point out that I have and will continue to make my contributions both in the form of documentation on the wiki and monetary contributions in the future. That said, I am disappointed to see the trend of paid development going on within LMCE recently. I don't see paid development as being in the spirit of open source and am afraid it will end up hindering the development in the near future. I am curious how other members of the community feel about it. I'd like to see the community and developers come up with a better way to get specific devices supported. Personally, I think the first step is getting remote assistance working so that developers don't even need to have the device in most cases, just a user to support development.

I for one would support a central fund so yyou can just click 'donate' on the main page, and you donate to the project as a whole.

You do know, that OSS is first and foremost not a price tag, don't you?
I develop stuff I care about.
People proposed giving me an iPod Touch so I could better work on the iOrbiter. I declined. The reason: Simple. If I would take the iPod Touch, I would be obliged to do the iOrbiter. But I do the iOrbiter (just as an example), because it is fun, and every now and then, I feel like working on it.
Other developers do see it differently, and accept moneytary donation to get things done. This is fine with me, as long as it is what they want. Nobody on the people doing development for LinuxMCE is getting rich. Most of the endless hours are spend working on the software to make it better, to bring it forward without a penny.
However, if someone does want a very specific feature, the person has the choice. Either, dive in, and do it yourself, or, coerce one developer into thinking it is good for him/her to do it, or three: Make some donations to get things done. But you know what: What ever way you choose, it stay Open Source Software. Open in the sense of speech. And that's what it is all about, imho.
If I helped you, feel free to buy me a coffee:

Here here. I still think that a central fund would speed development along, as it would help the macro-development along, as opposed to independent features. I would also be more than willing to donate, but as I currently have little knowledge of what I want in specific features,only I just want LMCE to be better than it is (small things, like bits of the UI, etc), and as my knowledge of coding is up there with Paris Hilton's knowledge quantum entanglement, I can't do it; SO, having a general fund for those little projects I think would help. Obviously it should be donations, and not payment. The money would cover equipment, software, hardware etc.

There's nothing wrong with paying for specific OSS work... and it is far from uncommon out there. The fact is, if there was sufficient interest in a specific piece of work from those that have the capabilities, it would get done for free anyway (and the vast majority of LMCE work gets done this way).
BUT for those pieces of work for which the priority is not high for those capable of doing the work, the reality is that either it will not get done, or we need to offer an incentive for it to get done. It allows a pressure relief that non-developers can press, if they are interested enough - only this way in a world were either the number of developers is not infinite and/or not every user is a capable developer, can there be some level of service delivery to non-developer's interests!
You can rest assured that most work will still be carried out gratis because most of it is essential to everyone, including the developers. And this ultimately is a market-driven concept... the more developers we attract to the project, the less need for paid development work there will be. Conversely, the more users that get themselves to a point that they can develop for themselves, the more they can service their own needs.
Moral of the story - financial contributions for work will only be necessary for non-essential/core work, which will hopefully reduce over time, and this reduction will be assisted by all of us (devs and non-devs) encouraging as many new devs to join the team as possible.... so go find some more devs!

This is the way will all software, at least those projects I have been associated with, if I need something customized then I pay someone to do the customizing. I have no problem if a small group want to have something specific done then they donate to pay a developer to do it. As colinjones said, the vast majority of opensource is done gratis because the developer(s) enjoy it or want something that is not there at the time and then contribute it back to the community. (if you read the GPL it states that paying for customizing or adding to existing software is ok) I for one will continue to donate to those projects that I use the most and even contribute to have customizations done that I need.

Since I have been a member of the forums I have seen posts about donating and about a Store with LMCE compatible products. I believe both of these can be accumplished by setting up a Amazon Associates Astore. When people buy from the store the community would recieve 5-15% of the purchase price at no cost to the buyer (Win-Win!!). They come in a number of shapes and sizes from a search window to a direct link to a product. the Hardware WIKI pages could be linked in such a way to generate community income.
We would need to set one up from each of the Amazon sites - UK, US, Germany
My site (
) has links to Amazon.co.uk pages and I recieve income from them whether the buyer buys one of my products or somebody elses products.
just a thought....

There is definitely some good discussion going on here and I fully agree with funds being setup for specific tasks to get the attention of developers. I think Techstyle is on the right track, I know a store has been discussed for quite awhile now and am also fully aware that there are licensing issues with it. It seems logical that by making purchases from the LinuxMCE store instead of other outlets that we are helping the community. Collinjones also has raised some good points about proper planning for the proposed system. Perhaps an easier way to get such a store started is to only sell products that are 100% plug and play and known to have no issues with LinuxMCE. With this approach we aren't branding or advertising them in such a way to breach the license Pluto has on the software. In my mind this would also help solve issues with the wiki since buyers would need a source to assist any issues with install seperate of the LinuxMCE Store. Over the longer term it may become feasible to work with the Pluto license to officially sell preconfigured and prebuilt packages. So we accomplish three goals with this system:
1) LinuxMCE store finally becomes a reality
2) Feature pools
3) Wiki enhancements
Those are basically my thoughts, I want to stress that I don't think paid development should stop, but that I think it can happen in such a way to benefit the entire community instead of individual agendas.

I think that the general contribution idea would be nice and I would like to see a bulk of it go to supporting a working out of the box MD. I know one of the beauties of LMCE is that with some work it can run on a huge variety of hardware... but it would be nice to pay a dev, and donate the hardware to him/her and have it fully supported. That way if someone does come here and want to set up LMCE from scratch we can say "buy this MD and its easy as pie". Or for someone like me who has a working system but plans to upgrade a few MD's it would be nice to have an option that I know works and has been confirmed to play at 1080, or 720 with ui2 overlay etc. For example I would say the Asus EEE B202 would be a great "LinuxMCE friendly" piece of hardware. It is small enough to mount to the back of a TV. Supposedly can handle UI2 and 720p etc... but it still requires configuring. I would imagine that the right person could make it fully Pnp in about 20min.
Now we use a link like discussed above and anytime someone buys one of these from the link, LMCE general fund gets paid.
Everyone is happy and all of a sudden LMCE is more user friendly.

I'm about to be unpopular.
I think the IDEA of open source is a noble and lofty concept, BUT. I would, have and will continue to pay for support/development. Open source is cool, but has anybody noticed that LMCE hardware support seems to be predominantly EOL products? This is by no fault of anybody, it's just the nature of opensource. When you're relying on people's free time and/or interest level for development, development will be slower. Combine that with the fact that hardware vendors aren't going to be as fourthcoming to a Linux market with specifications and driver support as there isn't enough money in it for them.
It's an attractive concept to think that a group of interested people can get together and donate their time and resources to develop a quality product. LMCE is a testament to that. However, I believe that opensource will only take you to a certain point (LMCE is also a testament to that).
I know Linux/Unix people love to bash MS and other companies that make money but it's undeniable that when a new piece of hardware comes out, it will hit the shelf with Windows support. Hardware vendors know they have to or they won't make money and don't kid yourselves children, making money is what it's all about. Nvidia doesn't sit around and say "Our new card will make gamers so happy!" they say "We will sell the shit outta these things." And I don't mind that at all. If someone has or can provide something I want, I'm happy to pay them for it. I certainly don't work for free, why should they?
I for one wholeheartedly support paid development. I would actually support making LMCE a commercial product. I'd rather pay $1500 for the product and be assured that my new hardware will be supported than have to scrounge around ebay looking for old equipment that works. (God I'd love to be able to buy a brand new webpad, it pisses me off to no end that I've got a used one sitting on my table.)
The undeniable fact is that money gets shit done. I don't care what it is, sex, your lawn, whatever it is, you'll get it faster and usually better if you pay for it.

Well, here's the deal, Dale_K,
You are making a very terminal assumption, that free = gratis.
It does not.
Free in our case means Libre.
People, (including you) are paying people like me, to add support for things they want support for. This is good. It pays my rent, it allows me to work on something I enjoy doing, and it gives everybody a supportable product.
But you are also SERIOUSLY oversimplifying the fact that it takes us A LONG TIME to do a release! *thwap-you-on-the-head* don't do that.
Understand that _EVEN WITHOUT_ proper driver support, with certain devices, it is relatively easy to reverse-engineer support for them, given either the right equipment, or a clever enough understanding of how to do it without the equipment. Really, it comes down to leg work. Why was I able to do proper support for the 3101 Gyration remote? Because I buckled down, and did it, and did it without duct tape. Why didn't anyone else do it? That is MY question, because ANY OTHER DEVELOPER could have been able to do the work. _THIS_ is what I am pissed about, because I am _NOT_ God's gift to programmers (so many tend to think they are), I do it because I want to SEE this stuff EXIST.
I know you're still somewhat new to the concept, and I can understand the oversimplications, but the truth isn't quite so black and white.

dale_k, you seem to be basing your arguments on an assumption that hardware manufacturers are paid directly to support one platform or another, which is rarely the case (ie microsoft does not pay a hardware manufacturer to write drivers for windows). each platform has an associated developement cost for them to support it, and they base their decisions on what platforms have the market penetration to make their time worthwhile (as in number of units sold in that market segment). so it is a matter of market penetration, not direct monetary compensation.
I think sponsored open source developement provdes a great way to get around this limitation even for hardware drivers, but it takes copperation from the manufacturers. for other general software like LinuxMCE it is a proven model that works well in the real world.

I disagree, I think you may be oversimplifying.
Let's use the remote as our example.
As an opensource project, the people that have the knowledge to develop support for that remote including yourself, don't do it, not out of any nefarious reason, just circumstance. You don't happen to use that remote so it's not priority, you're working on something else that has more importance to you, etc. For whatever perfectly legitimate reason, it doesn't get done.
Now, as soon as it becomes a situation of monetary compensation the function of that remote moves up the importance scale. I'm not saying that's a bad thing or that you're a bad person. In my opinion if you posess a skill that others don't then they should pay you to use it. I'm saying that "money gets shit done". That's why I pay for development and will continue to do so. Because I want the things important to me to get higher priority.
The original topic of this thread was an inquiry into opinion on the appropriateness of paying for development. My post and this reply demonstrates that development progresses faster if it's paid for. As in our example, I guarantee that if people like myself HADN'T donated money, there would still be no development on that remote. Again, no bad reflection on you or any of the developers on this project. All of you have a lot to do and you're doing it as an aside to your own daily lives, so it's expected to have slower than commercial development.
But, answer me this, if LMCE were a retail product and it's sales provided enough income that the core developers on the project made a living equal to or better than they currently make, would the development be faster and more hardware supported? I'm very confident, yes.
I'm not saying one way is better, they're just different, commercial = better/faster support/development, open source = more flexible and cheaper.

The simple fact is that there is NO way in HELL that a single commercial entity could produce a piece of software, this large, and monolithically support it.
Pluto tried.
Pluto died.
It has taken a community of people to be able to continue development, to be able to develop the pieces that Pluto simply did not have the ability to, for a variety of reasons, including that certain features got lower priority due to pressure from investors, etc.
And I can tell you've never done any software development. In any project, open or commercial, the first 60% gets implemented quickly. The problem is, the last 20% are on the upper swing of an asympyotic scale.
Read that last sentence again.
The amount of time to fill in what is considered the last finishing details is the absolute killer for any project, because you're also debugging during this time, and having to support others during this point. It makes NO difference whether the project is commercial or not. The only difference lies in the prioritization. You may think things are progressing faster if YOUR features are being worked on, but what about SOMEONE ELSE'S features?
Stop being selfish and think about the bigger picture.

The Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition (SVBC) appreciates that in the field of public transportation, Caltrain has historically served as a leader in accommodating bicyclists. In the spirit of encouraging Caltrain to continue to occupy that leadership position, we provide the following comments on the Draft Caltrain Bicycle Access and Parking Plan (hereafter called the "Bike Plan").
With high gas prices, increasing emphasis on global warming, and an increased awareness of how physical activity promotes health and well-being, bicycle usage is surging on the peninsula. Given that bicycles and trains are natural transportation partners, since bicycles provide an efficient and environmentally friendly way to get to and from train stations, bike service demand within the Caltrain system has dramatically increased. This growing demand should not be ignored, but should be viewed as an opportunity to further enhance the regional transportation system.
The Bike Plan is explicitly limited to bicycle access and parking issues. Although access and parking are both very important, they are only part of a comprehensive Master Plan for integrating bicycle transportation with the Caltrain system: Caltrain also needs to plan for more bicyclists traveling with their bikes on board trains in both the near- and long-term. For this reason, the remainder of this letter targets two distinct issues: 1) the need for bikes on board planning, and 2) comments on the current Bicycle Access and Parking Plan components.
The need for bikes-on-board planning
Bicyclists who take their bikes on board trains are a growing class of ridership that should be embraced. Caltrain's on-board program has been hugely successful and has greatly enhanced the utility of Caltrain for bicyclists in the region. For many, taking a bicycle on board the train has distinct advantages over parking a bike at a station in terms of convenience, flexibility, and security. If Caltrain is to achieve its Strategic Plan goal of making its service the "preferred mode of travel along the Peninsula Corridor", even more bicyclists will need to be accommodated in many ways, including on-board.
We appreciate that the draft Bike Plan acknowledges the current lack of supply in the on-board program, and the frustration of those who attempt to take their bikes on board and are "bumped"; however, general statements about "capacity constraints" and "increased dwell time" are not a satisfactory answer to this very real problem. Caltrain needs to address this current capacity issue immediately.
Furthermore, we urge Caltrain to be candid about the operational impacts of bicycles. Since bicyclists are always requested to board and exit last, any delay can always be attributable to bicyclists. We welcome the suggestion that passengers without bicycles be discouraged from boarding the bike car. We suspect that other creative solutions exist regarding this problem.
SVBC believes that the on-board program has tremendous benefits. The trade-off between these benefits and their financial and operational costs should be a matter for public debate. Caltrain should prepare another plan that specifically addresses the options for accommodating bicycles on board trains for both the current and future fleets and quantifies the costs and benefits of each option. With proper study, we think many of the perceived obstacles (capacity, operations, financial, etc) to implementing an expanded on-board program can be overcome.
Given Caltrain's plans to start specifying the requirements for new cars in 2009, it is imperative that Caltrain commit now that future rolling stock will take fully into account the needs of the on-board bike program and that new cars are equipped with sufficient bike capacity and allow efficient boarding and exiting of bicycles.
We look forward to continuing our work with you to address this important issue.
Comments on the current Bicycle Access and Parking Plan components
SVBC strongly supports most of the concepts in Chapter 5, including on-board bicycle capacity information, bikesharing, and a subsidy for folding bikes. Having information about the composition of each train, which trains had multiple bike cars, and which trains were made up of gallery or Bombarier cars would be extremely valuable, and this seems relatively simple to implement. Regarding charging fees for on-board bicycles, we feel that this should only be considered if space on board could be guaranteed. Although we are not opposed to fees in concept, the operational difficulties in this approach seem large.
Most of the station-specific improvements of Chapter 4 appear to be well thought out. Bike channels on stairs are very helpful. Additional secure racks, and removing abandoned bikes are good ideas. Electronic bicycle lockers should be valuable to passengers needing secure storage, who may not need a locker every day. Bikestations should be encouraged: they are very convenient and are highly successful in European cities. A bikestation with staff can serve as a gathering place and community resource for local information, bike repairs, etc. A staffed bikestation also makes bike drop-off extremely quick and simple.
In proposing bike parking facilities, the Bike Plan suggests that "bumped" bicyclists could instead quickly lock their bikes at the origin station and board without their bikes. Additional bike parking near the platform waiting area is proposed to handle this situation. We feel that this logic is flawed. Parking a bike takes some time. Unless Caltrain explicitly adopts a policy of waiting for bicyclists to park their bikes after determining they cannot board, bicyclists will be left behind in an effort to keep trains on time. Furthermore, bicyclists boarding with their bikes expect to have their bikes at the destination station. Quickly parking a bike and boarding would leave the bicyclist as an unexpected pedestrian at the destination. In this situation, it is likely the bicyclist would simply prefer to wait for a later train.
Providing better parking, access, and information for bicyclists at the station will encourage more passengers to ride bikes, rather than drive to Caltrain. This would be a positive development, and we strongly encourage Caltrain to proceed with these recommendations in the Bike Plan.
Howdy! I been wondering: is
I been wondering: is it possible to increase onboard bike capacity with a different method of bike storage?
It appears that the current status quo is not being questioned in the SVBC position statement. I'm referring to SVBC support for item #1 of the in the Rolling Stock Procurement plan recommendation in the SVBC Position Statement Draft #3 document:
I also ride light rail, and much prefer their hanging bike racks to Caltrain's racks-with-bungee-cord method. (Can someone elaborate on the difference between "racks with bungee cords" and the alternative "cribs with bungee cords"? What's a crib?)
I shouldn't have to spend many words discussing the downside to the rack-and-bungee-cord method. Loading and unloading is slow and confusing as everyone has to figure out where everyone else is getting off. Bikes get knocked over and banged up. And it seemed pretty space inefficient to me.
I was wondering whether the light rail style racks would allow for increased capacity. So yesterday I took some measurements. On a Caltrain bike car, the current space for bikes is 23'5", and has a capacity of 16 bikes, per side. On a light rail car the bike-to-bike pitch is 19.5". So Caltrain could hold 14 bikes in the same space with light-rail style hanging racks.
So unfortunately, with VTA hanging racks we would actually lose 4 bikes per car over the current method. We would have to reduce the bike pitch to 17.5" to break even. I'm not sure how VTA decided on 19.5", if 17.5" would be enough for a typical commuter bike, or even if there is enough vertical clearance to use the hanging racks.
Has anyone discussed hanging racks, or any other alternative methods, with Caltrain during the Bike Plan Discussions? Has anyone seen other alternative methods on other train systems that would be worth considering?
The answer to your next to
The answer to your next to last question is yes. The Bikes-on-Cars subcommittee of the TAG discussed various alternate storage mechanisms, including the light-rail style. But as you note, it would result in the loss of capacity if implemented in the same way as it is on light-rail. The sense in the group was that lost capacity was to be avoided if at all possible. Better to get on and hassle with stacking than not get on. Another downside of vertical bike storage is that it is more difficult for some people to manage (a challenge to lift heavy bikes upright, if you are not strong).
However, I'm not sure of where the 19.5" number comes from and whether it might be possible to change the implementation to something narrower. I've just measured a couple of different handlebar widths. My very narrow commuter road bars are 16.5", but all the city-bike flat-bars that I measured are well over 20". It does appear that making the bike pitch narrower could be a problem, based on those numbers, but maybe it is already a problem with the 19.5" occasionally.
If you're interested in further discussion on these issues, you might consider applying for the Caltrain workgroup (http://bikesiliconvalley.org/content/485).

4/21/2005: Iran: Conditions for Religious Freedom Deteriorating |
Contact: WASHINGTON - Please join us for an on-the-record briefing about the work of the Iran Human Rights Documentation Center (IHRDC), a non-partisan organization based in New Haven, Connecticut that seeks to remedy a deficit in the systematic, objective, and analytical documentation of human rights violations committed in Iran since the 1979 revolution. The presentation will focus on the deteriorating situation of religious freedom in Iran, especially the plight of religious minorities and Muslim dissidents. In 2004, the U.S. Department of State provided $1 million in funding for the IHRDC through its Human Rights and Democracy Fund to "promote respect for human rights and democracy in Iran." Last month, the State Department announced it would provide grants in 2005 totaling $3 million for educational institutions, humanitarian groups, non-governmental organizations, and individuals inside Iran to support the advancement of democracy and human rights. The IHRDC was co-founded by Roya Hakakian, Ramin Ahmadi, and Payam Akhavan. Hakakian, a former television producer, is a documentary filmmaker and the author of Journey from the Land of No: A Girlhood Caught in Revolutionary Iran. Ahmadi is professor of medicine at the Yale School of Medicine and founder of the Griffin Center for Health and Human Rights. Akhavan, a former Legal Advisor to the Prosecutor's Office of the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda at the Hague, is an international human rights lawyer and Senior Fellow at Yale Law School and the Yale University Genocide Studies Program.

Stem cell transplant boosts function slightly in Parkinson's monkeys
Eryn Brown
Los Angeles Times - In a small but hopeful step for researchers working on therapies to treat Parkinson's disease, a team in Japan has used stem cells harvested from bone marrow to restore function in monkeys with the debilitating condition.
The cell transplants didn't cure the macaques, but did improve motor skills in the animals and appeared to do so safely, the scientists wrote Monday in the Journal of Clinical Investigation — suggesting that stem cells from bone marrow might someday be a useful source for treatments of Parkinson's in humans.
"To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to show restoration of dopaminergic function and motor behaviors in parkinsonian primate animals" after treatment with stem cell-derived neurons, they wrote.
Stem cells are early-stage precursor cells that develop into the mature cells in the body. Scientists have long hoped to learn how to use them to replace cells and tissues damaged by accident or disease.
Parkinson's has seemed like a good candidate for stem cell-derived therapies because people with the disorder have lost cells in the brain, or neurons, that produce the neurotransmitter dopamine. (For more about Parkinson's read this page from the NIH's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.) If stem cells could be coaxed to develop into healthy, functioning dopaminergic neurons and then introduced into the brain, the thinking goes, perhaps patients could get relief from tremors, loss of balance and other debilitating Parkinson's symptoms.
The Japanese team, led by Takuya Hayashi of the RIKEN Center for Molecular Imaging Science in Kobe, Japan, conducted its research on a group of 10 adult macaque monkeys. They induced Parkinson's disease on the left side of the animals' bodies.
They removed bone marrow from the hip bonesof the macaques, isolating so-called mesenchymal stem cells — the same type of cells that are sometimes harvested to treat patients with leukemia. (While mesenchymal stem cells can differentiate to become a variety of different types of cells including bone, cartilage and fat, they are not the same as embryonic stem cells or induced pluripotent stem cells, which can develop into any type of cell in the body.) The team used a previously reported method to turn the mesenchymal stem cells into dopamine-producing neurons.
Hayashi and his colleagues studied the neurons they created in the lab to assure that they were indeed dopamine-producing, and then administered treated cells to five of the monkeys. Each of the five monkeys received cells derived from his own bone marrow. The remaining monkeys received sham treatments.
Animals who received the cell treatments had improved motor function, the team reported. What's more, through the use of PET scans and postmortem tissue analysis, the researchers determined that the implanted neurons continued producing small amounts of dopamine for at least nine months. The monkeys did not develop tumors, always a concern with stem-cell based therapies. Because the cells came from the monkeys' own bone marrow, tissue rejection wasn't an issue either. And the stem cells' origin in mature animals — not fetuses — sidestepped availability issues and ethical considerations involved in using fetal tissue, the scientists wrote.
Before the treatment might be considered appropriate for humans, they said, further studies will be needed to improve the viability of the cells once implanted, and to boost their therapeutic effect. But, they added, the approach "may expand the availability of cell sources for cell-based therapies for patients with Parkinson's disease."

"That's loaded with calories!"
"Are you counting your calories?"
When people talk about the calories in food, what do they mean? A calorie is a unit of measurement - but it doesn't measure weight or length. A calorie is a unit of energy. When you hear something contains 100 calories, it's a way of describing how much energy your body could get from eating or drinking it.
Calories aren't bad for you. Your body needs calories for energy. But eating too many calories - and not burning enough of them off through activity - can lead to weight gain .
Most foods and drinks contain calories. Some foods, such as lettuce, contain few calories. (A cup of shredded lettuce has less than 10 calories.) Other foods, like peanuts, contain a lot of calories. (A half of a cup of peanuts has 427 calories.)
You can find out how many calories are in a food by looking at the nutrition facts label. The label also will describe the components of the food - how many grams of carbohydrate, protein , and fat it contains. Here's how many calories are in 1 gram of each:
That means if you know how many grams of each one are in a food, you can calculate the total calories. You would multiply the number of grams by the number of calories in a gram of that food component. For example, if a serving of potato chips (about 20 chips) has 10 grams of fat, 90 calories are from fat. That's 10 grams X 9 calories per gram.
Some people watch their calories if they are trying to lose weight. Most kids don't need to do this, but all kids can benefit from eating a healthy, balanced diet that includes the right number of calories - not too many, not too few. But how do you know how many calories you need?
Kids come in all sizes and each person's body burns energy (calories) at different rates, so there isn't one perfect number of calories that a kid should eat. But there is a recommended range for most school-age kids: 1,600 to 2,500 per day.
When they reach puberty, girls need more calories, but they tend to need fewer calories than boys. As boys enter puberty, they will need as many as 2,500 to 3,000 calories per day. But whether they are girls or boys, kids who are active and move around a lot will need more calories than kids who don't.
Most kids don't have to worry about not getting enough calories because the body - and feelings of hunger - help regulate how many calories a person eats. But kids with certain medical problems may need to make sure they eat enough calories. Kids with cystic fibrosis, for instance, have to eat high-calorie foods because their bodies have trouble absorbing the nutrients and energy from food.
Kids who are overweight might have to make sure they don't eat too many calories. (Only your doctor can say if you are overweight, so check with him or her if you're concerned. And never go on a diet without talking to your doctor!)
If you eat more calories than your body needs, the leftover calories are converted to fat. Too much fat can lead to health problems. Often, kids who are overweight can start by avoiding high-calorie foods, such as sugary sodas, candy, and fast food, and by eating a healthy, balanced diet. Exercising and playing are really important, too, because activity burns calories.
Some people mistakenly believe they have to burn off all the calories they eat or they will gain weight. This isn't true. Your body needs some calories just to operate - to keep your heart beating and your lungs breathing. As a kid, your body also needs calories from a variety of foods to grow and develop. And you burn off some calories without even thinking about it - by walking your dog or making your bed.
But it is a great idea to play and be active for at least 1 hour and up to several hours a day. That means time spent playing sports, just running around outside, or riding your bike. It all adds up. Being active every day keeps your body strong and can help you maintain a healthy weight.
Watching TV and playing video games doesn't burn many calories at all, which is why you should try to limit those activities to 1 to 2 hours per day. A person burns only about 1 calorie per minute while watching TV, about the same as sleeping!

BOUNTIFUL – Friday night, outscoring the Wildcats 39-17 in that time.
The pair of strong quarters was enough to eventually give the Braves their 12th straight win. Bountiful downed Woods Cross 62-48 Friday night.
"Right now it's all about winning region games," said Braves' coach Mike Maxwell. "Right now we're 4-0 (in region) and we're playing well at the right time."
Bountiful's first quarter was strong on both offense and defense. The Braves held the Wildcats to 10 points in the quarter, all while scoring 21 to take the initial lead in the game.
The Braves started with an 8-0 run, thanks to 3-point plays from Nate Pollard and Pere LeSeuer, and another basket by Mosese Manu, to jump to an eight-point lead.
Momentum swung in Woods Cross' favor in the next two quarters when the Wildcats out-scored the Braves 31-23, cutting the deficit from 11 points to three points. They took the lead briefly.
Skyler Farnes kicked off the second quarter with a 3-point play early on, a play that started what eventually turned into a 12-1 run for the Wildcats. Farnes, Garrett Grant, Xequille Harry and Filipo Mokofisi each had a hand in the run, and the Wildcats trailed by four points after the first half.
The game took on an intensity all its own when the lead for Bountiful quickly disappeared in the third quarter. A pair of 3-pointers from Jackson Pohlman early in the third gave the Wildcats a slim, and brief, one-point lead before Bountiful bounced back to regain the lead later in the quarter.
Both teams traded baskets throughout, but Bountiful's lead shrank to three points entering the fourth quarter. Maxwell said afterward he didn't say anything to the team about losing the slim lead.
The Braves' defense held the Wildcats to just seven points in the final quarter, all of which came in the final minute of the game. Bountiful easily pulled away from Woods Cross in the final frame.
Vikings dominate Panthers with 87 points
The Viewmont Vikings won back-to-back games for the first time in three weeks as they took down the West High Panthers 87-71 Tuesday night.
Jarom Tye led the charge for the Vikings with 20 points, nine rebounds, seven assists and three steals for a solid overall game. McKay Butler scored 16 points with five rebounds and Michael Steinicke scored 17 points for Viewmont in the win.
Davis suffers first region loss, drops to Knights
Despite a double-double by two Davis players Tuesday night, the Davis Darts boys' basketball team suffered its first Region 1 loss of the season, losing to Northridge 64-56.
Braden Koelliker and Cole Hally each had a double-double in the game. Koelliker finished with 10 points and 10 rebounds, and Hally scored 11 points with 12 rebounds in the loss.
For Northridge, Dallas Bond was one of three players to score 16 points, and had 10 rebounds to his credit in the win.
Games this week
Region play continues Friday night as Davis and Viewmont will host teams, and Bountiful and Woods Cross will hit the road.
The Darts will face Syracuse and the Vikings will battle Granger. The Braves travel to Clearfield, and Woods Cross will head to East to take on the Leopards.
All games will tip off at 7 p.m.

W. E. B. Du Bois introduces The Souls of Black Folk with the forethought:
herein lie buried many things which if read with patience may show the strange meaning of being black here in the dawning of the twentieth century. This meaning is not without interest to you, gentle reader; for the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color-line.
These succinct lines summarize the aim of the collection, which is to impress upon the world the particular experience of being an African American some forty years after the Civil War. The work consists of fourteen essays on various topics, from a history of the U.S. government's efforts at Reconstruction to a discussion of the role of religion in the black community. First published in 1903, it was reprinted twenty-four times between then and 1940 alone; it is easily Du Bois' most widely read book and is considered a masterpiece. Coined the Father of social science, Du Bois brings together a blend of history, sociological data, poetry, song, and the benefit of his personal experience to propose his vision of how and why color poses such a dilemma at the turn of the twentieth century. His assertion is fortuitous, and the collection continues to provide insight into the ways that the African-American culture is intrinsic to the larger American culture, and how history has made that relationship inherently problematic.

Very little help or support from the Admin.
Then this happens.
I'm not complaining
I enjoy doing the moderation and I enjoy the forum.
I have been more tolerant then I probably should but that's to keep posters.
we don't have enough and we don't get many complaints to us Mods.
So trying to be tolerant seemed to keep more posters active perhaps I was wrong n doing this but I truly believe 90% of the posters enjoyed it that way.
But I also accept posters have left due to inappropriate language for which posters have been warned.

Majestic Hotel Rome Guest Reviews (6)
My wife and I stayed at the Majestic Hotel for one week on our honeymoon. We could not have had a better stay. The hotel reminds me of something out of an old classic movie and, as a matter of fact, quite a few old and current celebrities have stayed there. The staff, from the bellmen to the front desk staff, could not have been friendlier or more helpful with any issue we had, from restaurant recommendations and reservations to arranging for tours of the major sites. The Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain are just a pleasant walk away and everything elase is walkable as well, assuming you are up for it. Just make sure you make time for gelato along the way!

We found the staff at the Majestic Hotel Rome very good and most helpful. The hotel location on Veneto was excellent, good area and handy to buses etc. We had a front room very bright and airy, windows which opened gave us the choice of fresh air/air con. Would visit again.

Impressive and free antivirus and antispyware package
Platform: Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 98/ME
Manufacturer: MAME team
Size: 6.5MB
Verdict: A great antivirus and antispyware program at no cost
System Requirements: Requires ROM images to play original games
This is the software publisher's description.
MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. When used in conjunction with an arcade game's data files (ROMs), MAME will more or less faithfully reproduce that game on a PC. MAME can currently emulate over 3000 unique (and over 5400 in total) classic arcade video games from the three decades of video games - '70s, '80s and '90s, and even some from the current millennium.
The ROM images that MAME utilizes are "dumped" from arcade games' original circuit-board ROM chips. MAME becomes the "hardware" for the games, taking the place of their original CPUs and support chips. Therefore, these games are NOT simulations, but the actual, original games that appeared in arcades.
MAME's purpose is to preserve these decades of video-game history. As gaming technology continues to rush forward, MAME prevents these important "vintage" games from being lost and forgotten. This is achieved by documenting the hardware and how it functions, thanks to the talent of programmers from the MAME team and from other contributors. Being able to play the games is just a nice side-effect, which doesn't happen all the time. MAME strives for emulating the games faithfully.
MAME doesn't ship with the original ROM images. These need to be obtained separately.

Well, Oscar revealed his secret to everyone in student council in vol. 8 and still sticks with Ash so...
BTW, I won't be able to do the summary until Friday because I need to fix 2 reports to send it to my lecturer. It's group work but I need to fix a lot of it myself since it's the field I'm good at. PS. I wish I never have to argue with anyone about anything anymore. Most of the things we argue in this forum is really subjective and pointless but still annoying anyway. It took a lot of time to read the argument and argue back after all.

^^ Yeah, I pretty much spoiled almost anything from vol. 4-9 here already. ^^
I won't be here for a while. I will come back next weekend to finish summarizing the last part of vol. 7 after I'm done with my exam and report. For god's sake! I don't know crap about the different types of wood when I am studying urban development! What the hell is pinewood, redwood, plywood!? I regret I didn't learn about it when I helped my cousin built his house but instead focusing on mixing cement and concrete! Funny thing about the country I live in right now. I live in Sweden, the country that most view as the country of whore, just because some silly misunderstanding caused by Swedish openness in bath and dressing room. "Final" or "last" in English is "slut" in Swedish. "Six" in English is "sex" in Swedish. "Speed" in English is "fart" in Swedish. "Chef" in English is "kock" in Swedish. But the thing about Sweden being the land of sluts is wrong... BTW, vol. 9 summary is very long that I wonder if it'd be better to do a whole LN translation instead. It's like 2x longer than that of vol. 7 while vol. 7 is like 3x-4x longer than vol. 4.
