http://holygrenade.com/2013/02/plays...just-a-button/Social networking is ubiquitous, yet the game industry (an inherently social industry) hasn't embraced the concept. The PlayStation 4 might change all that.In writing my extensive recap of the PlayStation 4′s reveal, one feature stuck out. Stocked between the plethora of console features was a separate button on the controller, left of the touchpad. It bore the simple title "Share", and its function permitted players to share any
piece of footage over any social network affiliated with the account. They showed it off slyly during the showing of Killzone: Shadow Fall, uploading the footage to Guerrilla Games' Facebook shortly after the gameplay reveal.
Operating the button is simple: after some awesome or depressing or awesomely depressing event happens, press Share and game will pause, giving the option to put that clip onto a network. It won't stymie gameplay or even a multiplayer game.
This is the first time social networking, now a part of our daily lives, has been fully embraced by a hardline gaming company. Not one of those unused apps either–the Share button puts access directly into the player's hands and gives a seamless transition between gameplay and networking. Because services like Facebook and Twitter are ubiquitous, and other services grow rapidly every day, it's no surprise Sony implemented this feature.
While the company was light on details, with only Facebook confirmed, the Share button could extend across a whole nature of networks: YouTube, LinkedIn, DailyMotion, Raptr, and even blogging services like Tumblr. YouTube is the one special case: a service already overwrought with wannabe stars, and to inundate the scene further means people need to get creative in terms of their content.
The question is whether the Share option catches fire with the PS4 populous. Social networking has never tangled well with video games: Microsoft, for instance, brought Facebook and Twitter to its growing collection of apps, only to abandon them and add Internet Explorer 9. Microsoft gave the excuse it was "streamlining its app functionality" but wider criticism attributed the move to service underuse.
However, in Sony's favour is the readiness of the gimmick. There's no need to record clips via capture card anymore, meaning its lightning-quick upload speed and unobtrusiveness are perfect for those who wish to upload a short clip to show off. And if in some way Sony could store any footage using
Gaikai's cloud technology, essentially a "save" button, the user could retrieve the data via USB drive and add commentary. That opens up a world of possibilities: from making gaming communities more social friendly (imagine the effect on LittleBigPlanet), free advertising (from spreading the clip and driving interest elsewhere) and career-building (FPS content can be posted instantly)
Video gaming is one of the most social activities out there. Player interaction should inherently reflect that, and Sony has made the first step in more easily uniting gamers. Personally, I hope this takes off and becomes a vital part of Sony's game plan, leading Microsoft to adapt it as well.
It's not just good for the games themselves; it's good for gamers too.
I am hoping it is more than a share button

(Update, 4:40 p.m. EDT) -- In an interview with Cruise Critic, Norwegian Cruise Lines CEO and President Kevin Sheehan said that if the merger goes as planned, "the guests will never notice that we've changed.
"If we do this right, the guest will never even know we had the transaction," he said, noting that there were no plans to change the headcount for ships on either line, the booking experience or the selling strategy.
There aren't any plans to combine loyalty programs, Sheehan said. "I can see advantages to that and disadvantages," he said. "I want to keep the integrity of the three brands separate and distinct."
"This is really putting three successful, smart companies together and having more scale," he said. Norwegian now, for example, will have access to travel agents who are experts at selling luxury cruises, he said, while a loyal Regent customer who wants to take his children and grandchildren on a family cruise may now be exposed toward Norwegian's family-oriented ships and the Haven.
Regent and Oceania have also done a good job with establishing long booking windows, Sheehan said, as well as drawing international clientele to their diverse world-wide itineraries.
Norwegian will eventually adapt a corporate structure that has a head of each brand reporting to Sheehan; current Prestige president Frank Del Rio will stay on through the end of 2015. Norwegian's new build team will take over that process for Prestige, as that company previously used consultants, Sheehan said.
(9:50 a.m. EDT) -- Norwegian Cruise Lines has acquired Prestige Cruises Holdings, parent company of Oceania and Regent Seven Seas Cruises, a move that gives the Miami-based company a firm foothold in the upscale cruise market.
The transaction, which cost Norwegian $3.025 billion, also solidifies NCL's position to a strong number three within the industry, behind competitors Carnival Corp. and Royal Caribbean Cruise Ltd.
Prestige has eight ships; five under the Oceania banner and three flagged Regent Seven Seas, with another build on the way for summer 2016. Norwegian – known for pioneering Freestyle Dining - already had 15 ships, with four more on the way.
Prestige founder, chairman and CEO Frank Del Rio, an industry veteran who used to run Renaissance Cruises, will stay on as chief executive officer. He declined requests for interviews to Norwegian Cruise Line, but released the following in a statement:
"We are excited to become part of the Norwegian family and start a new chapter for our company. With Oceania and Regent, we have built iconic brands with distinctive product offerings and strong customer loyalty. The combination is very compelling and will allow us to further enhance our renowned guest experience. We are looking forward to joining the Norwegian team and building upon the success that our three brands have already achieved."
In the company's release, Norwegian Cruise Lines CEO Kevin Sheehan commented that the merger would allow NCL to grab customers at "every stage of their life cycle." "We are fully committed to retaining the brand propositions, guest experiences and cultures of the Norwegian, Oceania and Regent brands that have allowed each to realize such success."
The merger is the largest in the industry since Carnival Corp. acquired British P & O Princess Cruises in 2003. It's also a smart business move for all three cruise lines, said Cruise Critic Editor in Chief Carolyn Spencer Brown.
"In this business climate for the cruise industry. you have to get stronger," she said. "This makes three strong brands even stronger."
In addition, the move catapults Norwegian into the upscale cruising market, she said. "In terms of luxury, Norwegian has The Haven – and that's it," she said. "Norwegian overnight went from having a very limited share of the luxury market to 46 percent."
(For more on what defines a luxury cruise, read our guide to luxury cruising).
Norwegian has also lagged within growing markets in Asia and South Pacific, Spencer Brown said. "This will give Norwegian a lot more reach in terms of global aspect."
On the Cruise Critic message boards, members loyal to Oceania and Regent worried that the acquisition would adversely affect those ships' luxury atmosphere.
"The smartest thing Norwegian could do is to buy them. The second smartest thing Norwegian could do is not change a thing," said computerworks. "Just don't cut O's (Oceania's) food budget!" said Arusha.
"This could go either way," said bbwex. "They could buy Prestige to get the upscale market and be smart enough to know that if they mess around with it, they will lose the value of the purchase. Or they could buy Prestige and cheapen it up. We will have to wait and see if the deal goes through, and what the eventual outcome is."
Meanwhile, Norwegian aficionados wonder if the new mega-line will have reciprocal loyalty or other benefits. "We have been looking at Oceania for awhile now, and if my Lat(itutde) points were recognized, then that might just be the push that we needed!" said member SissaMomE.

lethal mg
Lethal MG is considered to be one of Belgiums most legendary harddance artists. Many big hits and remixes from his hand, which turned out to become classics, in combination with memorable performances at big clubs and festivals in Belgium and abroad, gave him a iconic state in the harddance scene. Lethal MG became notorious because of the incredible amount of records that he plays during his DJ sets and his remarkable style of mixing. The compilation CD's that he mixed around 2007 were a milestone in the history of jumpstyle compilations.
At Reverze 2011, he combined forces with Q-IC and Ruthless to bring the most discussed act of the year, "Reverze Flashback, an act of 45 minutes which brought all the classics back to life.
In 2009, just after the huge hit "What Ya Need" was released, Lethal MG decided to work on a first full album. For doing this he decided to stay at the background for a while. During this time he released a few EP's and some succesfull collaborations with other artists. After 3 years of hard work with ups and downs, Lethal MG's first full album "Lethal Injection" was released in 2011. The album contains 17 banging tracks, including collaborations with Dr Rude, Fenix, Q-IC and DJ Liberty. Even before the release the album had big support from all major DJ's and was described as "The best that jumpstyle has to offer at this moment", and "Jump at its best".
After the release of his album Lethal MG continued trying to find the right balance between the new tekstyle sound and his own typical style, which resulted in some great EP's. And even more is coming your way soon.

Offlate, there have been rumours that claimed that Mohanlal's son Pranav Mohanlal is all set to make his re-entry into films. Reports said that Pranav will be relaunched by none other than the ace Tamil director Mani Ratnam. Now Mohanlal himself has come forward slamming the news.
Mohanlal clearly states that his son Pranav has no plans of re-entering into films in any recent time. He said that Mani Ratnam has not cast Pranav in any of his upcoming movies. Adding on he said that there were rumours earlier which claimed that Pranav is going to act in a Major Ravi movie. But Mohanlal has slammed even those news.
Mohanlal says that he does not wish to interfere in the personal decisions of his son. If his son has an urge in acting, he has no issues with it. Adding on, Mohanlal clarified that he will not push Pranav into the industry. Pranav is currently more interested in enjoying his life and loves travelling. So, as a father Mohanlal does not intend to become a barrier against the desires of his son.
Pranav made his debut in the industry as a child artist with the movie Onnaman. He played the childhood of his father Mohanlal in the film. Later he was also seen in a shot in Sagar Aliyas Jackey Reloaded. He made his debut as a hero with the Major Ravi movie Punarjani.

Smith and Flames Special Teams Units Honored by Big South Conference
Following Liberty's record-setting victory over VMI on Saturday, the Big South Conference named Brock Smith Choice Hotels Offensive Player of the Week and the Flames special teams units Special Teams Player of the Week, on Monday.
Smith (Sr., QB, Hershey, Pa.), who shared Offensive Player of the Week honors with Charleston Southern's quarterback Sidney Bryant, had his most efficient passing game of the year. He completed 11-of-14 passing attempts for 246 yards and three touchdowns. He also ran for a nine-yard touchdown run.
The outing marked the third-straight game Smith has passed for 200 or more yards in a game and pushed him over 2,000 yards passing for the first time in his career (2,022 yards). Smith ranks No. 10 nationally in passing efficiency, with a passer rating of 156.85.
Early in the game against the Keydets, the junior became the sixth quarterback in Big South Conference history to surpass the 4,000 career passing mark. Smith has now thrown for 4,212 career yards.
Liberty's special teams unit was responsible for nearly 35 percent of the Flames' point total on Saturday, scoring 25 out of the team's Big South record-setting 73 points (most points scored against a Big South opponent in a league game). As a result, the Flames entire special team unit was honored by the league, as this week's Special Team Player of the Week.
Placekicker Noah Greenbaum was 10-for-10 on PAT and started the day's scoring spree with a 26-yard field goal in the first quarter. Dominic Bolden set a new Big South single-game kickoff return record, returning three kickoffs for a total of 198 yards. The longest was an 83-yard return for a touchdown, accounting for the junior's third career kickoff return for a score.
Not to be outdone, Liberty's punt return unit gave Jonathan Crawford some running lanes and the junior took full advantage of the openings, leading to a 65-yard punt return for a touchdown.
Defensively, the Flames held VMI to an average of 15.2 yards per kickoff return, and Trey Jacobs blocked an extra point attempt. As a unit, Liberty ranks No. 8 nationally in average punt return yards (14.08) and No. 16 in averaging kickoff return yards (23.60) on the season.
The Flames will close out their 2007 season with a chance to claim the program's first-ever Big South championship this Saturday. Liberty (3-0 BSC) enters the game against Gardner-Webb holding at least a share of the conference crown with a full-game lead on both the Bulldogs (2-1 BSC) and Coastal Carolina (2-1 BSC). Kickoff for the contest is set for 3:35 p.m. and the game will be televised on the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network.

One gripe I have with my A4 Avant is that the aluminium roof rails are quite tarnished/tired looking. When I took it to my main dealer a while back they said to use polish on them to remove the 'tarnish' - tried this but it didn't have any noticable effect. What do the professional detailers use on these? Any recommendations on a product to clean these up properly? I've tried Megs Metal Polysh but hasn't made much impact? Thanks in advance CM

Washington (AP) - President Barack Obama on Tuesday hailed his meeting with Republican congressional leaders as "a good start" on bipartisan cooperation, saying the public wants an end to political bickering in
Obama called the talks "productive" and said he's encouraged that congressional leaders of both parties came to the White House determined to make things better and cut out the partisan infighting that has characterized much of the discourse in the capital in recent times.
Tuesday's meeting was Obama's first formal sit-down with Demoratic and Republican lawmakers following his party's sweeping defeats in the midterm elections. Eight lawmakers - four from each party - took part in the nearly two-hour meeting, along with Vice President Joe Biden and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.
Republican leaders, likewise, complimented the session. But House Speaker-in-waiting John Boehner, R-Ohio, was cautious, saying the two sides in the past have had "nice meetings" that failed to harvest new cooperation.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of
But McConnell said that "100 percent" of Republicans, and even some Democrats, are opposed to having a two-tier system after Jan. 1., including the notion that tax rates would be left where they are for middle-class people but raised for the wealthy.
Boehner said he told Obama that "spending more time will help us find common ground."
Republican leaders held a news conference in the Capitol after the joint meeting - the first of its kind since the GOP recaptured the House and cut into the Democratic majority in the Senate in the Nov. 2 midterm elections.

CCTV images have been released in connection with an assault at Gloucester railway station in March.
British Transport Police are appealing for the public's help in tracing a man and a woman they would like to speak to about the incident.
Investigating officer PC Frank Hedley said shortly before 6.45pm on Saturday, March 23 a 39-year-old man from Oldbury in the West Midlands was returning from a rugby match in Gloucester.
"He was in the waiting room on platform four at Gloucester rail station when he struck up a conversation with another man," he said. "This man disagreed with some of the victim's comments and approached the victim before headbutting him in the face.
"The victim got up and followed the man out of the waiting room and was further assaulted by the man who then boarded the 6.45pm service to Nottingham via Birmingham New Street."
He added officers have so far been unable to trace the attacker and are appealing for anyone who knows the identity of the man in the photographs to contact them.
"I'd also like to speak to the woman in these images as I believe she was in company with the man we would like to speak to and, again, I believe she will have information which can help," he said.
Anyone with information is asked to call British Transport Police on 0800 40 50 40 quoting incident reference B6/WWA of May 5 2013.
Information can also be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via crimestoppers-uk.org

Fixing this properly basically involves us making the entire Firefox UI safe from extensions manipulating the Object prototype. Might be nice at some point but I think the appropriate solution at this stage is just to discourage extension authors from doing such things, I've certainly discouraged them whenever I've heard of it already.

It doesn't seem to matter that Disney's stock price was down slightly during the fiscal year for which the CEO was paid. His package, disclosed in a just-filed proxy statement, includes a $2M salary (same as in 2010), $8.1M in stock awards (+10.1%), $4.8M in option awards (+9.1%), $15.5M in incentive compensation (+15.2%), and additional pension value of $2.1M (+29.4%). The company says that he deserves the bump because Disney "achieved record net income, revenue and earnings per share in fiscal 2011, with net income increasing 21%, revenue increasing 7% and earnings per share, excluding the impact of items that affected comparability between the years, increasing 23% over fiscal 2010." The board seems to believe that Iger deserves most of the credit: His compensation accounts for about 56% of the total paid for the top five honchos listed in the SEC filing — and the four under Iger collectively made about the same as they did in 2010. The second-highest-paid exec, CFO Jay Rasulo, was far behind the CEO with $11.1M in compensation, up 5.1%. Iger's package includes $371,439 for personal air travel and $561,303 in security expenses. In addition to the compensation info, Disney said it will hold its annual shareholder meeting March 13 in Kansas City, Mo.
Disney's Bob Iger Nabs $33.4M Pay Package In 2011, A 12.9% Raise
17 Comments
My maid made 31.4M last year.
And I'm sure he deserves every penny. Yeah right. How can he justify that and then come out against the writers during the strike? They never asked for a 10% raise.
I don't have a problem with people earning large amounts of money or bonuses as long as they are not LAYING OFF PEOPLE and DOWNSIZING in the process. That is what has been happening at Disney! Therefore, I say that the money has not been earned by his business savvy but by his need to make a profit off of his FORMER EMPLOYEES!
I hate this guy. It has nothing to do with how much he gets paid. I just don't like him period. He's been no good to Disney
And how many people were fired, laid off, and offered early retirement?
How many people can effectively run a corporate giant? These jobs pay high because theyre not easy…many many decisions every day – if one decision is made wrong the company could collapse. On top of it all, I'm sure he doesn't have much free time to relax. Do writers and animators deal with that kind of stress? I'm a writer and I certainly don't. CEO's have it rough man.
He has plenty of free time. He owns a boat and he is there quite often. My mom's little boat (she isn't broke, but she isn't this either) is near his big boat. He doesn't have a loyal bone in his body, so maybe that's why he has lots of free time – no valued friends.
Nobody is saying CEOs shouldn't get paid well. But THIS well? Come on. We're a country based on the idea of NOT have a royal class. And while millions are losing their jobs altogether, I would question whether or not the CEOs are even doing such a good job.
You're joking right? The jobs are hard and the harder they are the more the compensation *within reason*. You can't tell me that that job is more stressful than a working mom, doctor or public prosecutor in a big city etc. It's not the stress that they get paid for, it's to show ROI which isn't all because of him. He may greenlight projects but doesn't come up with them and Pirates was a no brainer to do a sequel. Luck has a lot to do with it, unless you think only Iger has figured out the formula to make successful movies? But the board like the ones in Wallstreet continue to pay outrageous salaries because it's stock holder money, not there's while people on the lower rungs get laid of/get minimal bonuses.
Get the fuck out of here Matt.
Miners have it rough. How about sewer cleaners and animal masturbators?
Yes, he/they should get paid well, but their bonuses and golden parachutes and whatnot are based on lots of CUTS, which includes people's jobs.
All I know about this is what I've read (partly here) but Pirates 4 grossed over $1 billion last year. So a chunk of Iger's bonus must be due to that, but he's the one who fired Dick Cook who as I understand it supported Johnny Depp's brilliant characterization in the first POTC. Dick Cook was in charge when the other POTC sequels were made, each grossing over a billion and Johnny Depp was sure upset when Iger fired Cook. It took a long while for Depp to commit to POTC4 after Cook's firing (and maybe it cost Disney more?) So after maybe jeopardizing that hugely successful franchise which was totally dependent on Depp's participation, and after firing the guy who was smart enough to support Depp's brilliant performance in the first place, Iger now gets monetarily rewarded for the latest POTC installment? Nice work if you can get it.
You are correct. He did indeed fire Dick Cook and replaced him with Rich Ross who only had success at Disney Channel because G came up with superb programming ideas. Ross hires a marketing person with issues and then fires her, but saying she was leaving on her own. All of this of course is irrelevant, because Iger is getting richer and richer and the employees – well, the employees.
As a Disney stockholder for 30+ years I think he is doing a fantastic job, if people were laid off good, it means they weren't needed or weren't doing their job. Hollywood is a bloated industry to begin with.
Remember the mess Disney was in when Eisner was running things the last few years of his tenure? Remember almost losing Pixar? Iger patched things up and bought the company, then made a few high tech purchases, then bought Marvel Entertainment. Signed a deal with DreamWorks. Iger is a peacemaker, a negotiator. With the out put from Pixar, Marvel, agreement with DreamWorks, Disney can just make a few tent pole movies a year like POTC and call it a day. My only disappointment is he sold Miramax.
He understands the importance of the new generation of tech gadgets; he understands Apple and what they are going to do next, and what Apple does the world does. He brought Disney back. Much the same way Eisner brought Disney back from the years after Walt died.
Yes, Bob Iger is 100 percent responsible for every single achievement in an enormous corporation and deserves a not at all over the top 33 million dollar salary, yes people were fired so? CEOS apparently have it tough since they could be fired and be forced tu endure life with a multimillion dollar golden parachute and they are forced to make decisions? wow maybe we should hold a benefit.
Also vf? Johnny Depp had no meaning whatsover in this decision please be reasonable.
Contemporary capitalism. Rinse & repeat.
hate being mean,b ut the richer he gets the less attractive he gets. maybe it is just the aging process
But…the pirates…they take all the monies…

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — When the first day of the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships was completed late Friday night, LSU coach Dennis Shaver liked where his top-ranked Lady Tigers were sitting.
After setting the table well and qualifying everyone he thought would get through going into the meet, Shaver looked forward to LSU having a shot at ending a nine-year indoor championship drought at the national meet.
At the same time, however, Shaver cast a wary eye over his shoulder at three-time defending champion Oregon.
Even though the Ducks had just suffered a bit of a setback in fading from third place to eighth on the final lap of the distance medley relay, losing five big team points in the process, Shaver thought they were still in good shape.
Shaver's concerns were affirmed Saturday night when Oregon came back to the Randal Tyson Track Center and piled up 44 points in just five events to overtake the top three teams in the latest U.S. Track and Field & Cross Country Coaches Association poll — LSU, Kansas and Arkansas.
Oregon wound up winning with 56 points, outdistancing Kansas and LSU by 12 and 11 points to offset scoring barrages by the Jayhawks and Lady Tigers.
The Ducks finished it off with their only win of the two-day meet in the 4x400-meter relay.
While LSU placed third for the fourth consecutive season, Shaver was already thinking about the outdoor season — where his women's and men's teams are traditionally stronger with the addition of another hurdles race and sprint relay as well as more field events.
"Our women scored in almost all the event areas this weekend, and that speaks to the kind of team we have this year," said Shaver, who got wins from Kimberlyn Duncan in the 200 meters and Natoya Goule in the 800.
Duncan took her third straight indoor title in the 200, something that had never been done at the NCAA meet, and Goule broke the school record in the 800 at 2 minutes, 02.00 seconds — the sixth-fastest time in collegiate history.
LSU had two other quality finishes from Jasmin Stowers in the 60 hurdles and Charlene Lipsey in the 800 and the 4x400 relay, with Goule anchoring, finished fifth even though it wasn't projected to score.
"We feel like we are a little more balanced this season, which is what you need to be able to contend in a meet like this. We expect similar contributions when we go outdoors."
Shaver will also look for more from his men, who earned a 15th-place finish with 15 points after going in with just three scoring opportunities. Their finish snapped a streak of five straight top-five finishes at the indoor meet.
Damar Forbes finished second in the long jump for a third straight time at the NCAA meet, while the 4x400 relay team also finished fifth even though it wasn't projected to score, either.
"We're used to being in the mix for a team trophy on the men's side, and that just wasn't realistic for our guys this weekend," Shaver said. "But we are really excited because we know we'll have a much better team in the outdoor season."

The View's Elisabeth Hasselbeck said Thursday that co-host Joy Behar is a closet Republican.
Such occurred after NBC Late Night's Jimmy Fallon asked her, "Is it hard to be the only conservative on The View? I mean, basically you're getting into arguments every single day" (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):
Fallon followed, "Gosh, that must be stressful."
"I think there were stressful times," said Hasselbeck. "We won't describe them, but they were there."
One quite imagines how stressful things were with Rosie O'Donnell on the set.
"Now," continued Hasselbeck, "things are not so stressful. You know, I think we have a friendly table."
"I love all the girls on The View," interjected Fallon.
"They're great," said Hasselbeck. "Joy's a closet Republican - she's just not ready to come out with it yet."
Fallon's crowd didn't believe her.
Do you?

Below are just some of the highlights of Comic Relief's history.
The big idea
As Live Aid captures hearts and minds, Richard Curtis, Jane Tewson and friends know more must be done. That something is Comic Relief. The idea is to use comedy to raise money and change lives in Africa and the UK.
We have lift off!
On Christmas Day, Comic Relief is launched live on BBC One from the Safawa refugee camp in Sudan during Noel Edmonds' Late Late Breakfast Show. The producer is Helen Fielding (before her Bridget Jones days!).
BT the brilliant!
BT has supported us from day one, making them a huge part of our success. They provide the telephony, call centres, network management and volunteers that enable us to take millions of pounds of donations.
Oxfam the outstanding
Oxfam has been a partner of Comic Relief since the very beginning. They've worked closely with us on projects to tackle poverty and social injustice in Africa, and sold millions of Red Noses in their shops and online.
Top of the pops
Cliff Richard and The Young Ones release Livin' Doll onto an unsuspecting but, thankfully, very generous public. It sells more than half a million copies and goes straight to number one.
A song for Christmas
Our second single, Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree by Mel Smith and Kim Wilde sees more money raised and peaks at number three in the charts.
First Red Nose Day
Lenny Henry and a group of children in Ethiopia celebrate the first ever Red Nose Day. Over 150 celebrities and comedians take part as 30 million viewers watch a huge night of TV on the BBC and raise over £15 million.
We enabled the homelessness charity, Centrepoint, to buy two washing machines – a much needed resource for the young people who had nothing but the clothes on their backs. We also funded research which helped to put youth homelessness on the political agenda.
Red Nose Day returns
Red Nose Day is back – and now with added Wogan. National treasure, Terry, hosts an evening of comedy gold which sees more than 70,000 events across the country raise over £27 million for fantastic causes.
Best foot forward
Prince Edward launches an initiative called Feet First for Homeless People which leads to over 1,000 people in London walking home from work and donating their transport fares to homeless charities in the capital.
And action…
Video Relief takes place – a competition for young people to make videos about issues like poverty and homelessness. It was won by one Edgar Wright, who went on to direct cult zombie film Shaun of the Dead.
Rights not charity
We hold an event to give disabled people in the UK a voice in the decisions affecting their lives; "rights not charity" becomes the watch-word and marks a turning point in securing rights for disabled people in the UK.

Monday Morning Memo
Here's a brief synopsis of what's going on this week in regards to Physics... and beyond.
Friday, March 21, 2014
Tuesday, March 25, 2014
Matthew Sprague '05, Gives a Talk for the Physics Spring Seminar Series
Please join us for a talk with Matthew Sprague '05, NIST (Gaithersburg MD), entitled:
Quantum Chemistry and Thermochemistry of Atmospherically Important Reactions
Quantum chemistry uses the laws of quantum mechanics to determine fundamental properties of molecules and chemical reactions. We can determine molecular geometries; vibrational and electronic spectra; thermochemistry; and the dynamics, kinetics, and equilibria of chemical reactions. The results of these studies allow us to explain experimental findings and predict new chemical reactions or properties. In the first part of my talk, I will introduce some methods used in quantum chemistry.
Earth's atmosphere is considered a complex chemical reactor due to the presence of trace reactive species. Although these chemicals are present in concentrations of only parts per million, billion, or trillion, they govern the chemistry of ozone, smog, acid rain, and climate change. We must understand the fundamental properties of these species to aid atmospheric field measurements and improve environmental policy. In the second part of my talk, I apply the methods of quantum chemistry to examine reactions of atmospheric interest, including hydroperoxy self-reaction and ozonolysis of unsaturated hydrocarbons.
Tuesday, March 25th, CNS 206B @ 12:10 p.m.

Those who are still holding tight to their HTC Magic handsets were most likely hitting themselves in the head when HTC announced the Hero with its Sense UI. If they only waited, they could've experienced all the graphical goodies that came along with the new interface. Fast forward to the present and we're starting to see some ROM upgrades that'll place Sense UI on the Magic. It's unclear as to whether or not other countries will be rolling out the update, but HTC Taiwan has released a ROM upgrade for it's Magic users that packs Android 1.5 (cupcake) and the Sense UI. We're crossing fingers on our end with hopefully the T-Mobile myTouch 3G getting that same treatment down the road. Then again, there's plenty of Android devices hitting store shelves this holiday season that'll make you think twice about it.

First section of Goldsboro Bypass opens
Posted December 16, 2011
Goldsboro, N.C. — The North Carolina Department of Transportation has opened the first section of the future U.S. Highway 70 Goldsboro Bypass in Wayne County to traffic, officials said Friday.
The 3.9-mile, four-lane divided highway is temporarily designated as N.C. Highway 44 and connects Interstate 795 and Wayne Memorial Drive north of Goldsboro.
A $65.5 million contract was awarded to Barnhill Contracting Co. of Tarboro in September 2008 for the project, which also includes interchanges at I-795, U.S. Highway 117 and Wayne Memorial Drive.
The Goldsboro Bypass will be built in three sections. Once complete, the $246 million, 20-mile bypass will begin at U.S. 70 west of N.C. Highway 581 in Wayne County and end at U.S. 70 east of Promise Land Road in Lenoir County.
The section from west of N.C. 581 to I-795 is expected to be awarded in June 2012, with construction beginning later in the summer. The section from Wayne Memorial Drive to Promise Land Road is expected to be awarded as a design-build contract in January, with construction beginning at the end of next year or early 2013.

Lake Mary, Fla. • The investigation of a domestic dispute between George Zimmerman and his estranged wife is on hold because there is no clear evidence to charge anyone and neither side wants to press the case, a police spokesman said Wednesday.
That could change if new evidence surfaces or technicians are able to extract video that recorded the dispute from Shellie Zimmerman's smashed iPad, said Officer Zach Hudson. Law enforcement analysts are having difficulty obtaining the video because the iPad is in bad shape, he said.
"We have concluded the investigation with what we have to work with right now," Hudson said.

A BUDGET delivering a fourth consecutive year of local authority funding reductions has been recommended for approval by Cumbria County Council's cabinet today.
Cabinet members agreed a draft budget for 2014/15 which outlines how the council will save £24.4 million this year from April. Delivering these savings will mean the county council is saving over £112 million a year compared with the level of funding it received in 2010 before the Government's Comprehensive Spending Review.
All told, the council needs to save another £89 million between 2014/15 and 2016/17 – on top of the £88 million which the council has already saved since 2010/11.
The medium term financial plan recommended by cabinet sets out the full savings required over the next three years. These are £24.4m in 2014/15; £35.4m in 2015/16 and £30m in 2016/17.
At the same time, the government has yet to announce the level of council tax increase that would require a referendum to be held. Given this uncertainly, cabinet has recommended that the council accepts the freeze grant and for there to be no increase in the level of council tax for the fourth year running.
Since October the council has been publicly consulting on a set of saving proposals which, added together, would deliver the £24.4m which the council needs to find in 2014/15.
The proposals include a reduction in back-office costs, putting prevention before cure when it comes to health, safety and wellbeing, and working with communities to develop local solutions to some of the challenges facing different parts of Cumbria.
Following the consultation, cabinet has decided to modify six of the original 35 savings propositions. The six are: to cease all bus subsidies, implement operational changes in fire and rescue, slim down the council's scrutiny role, introduce on-street parking charges, withdraw post-16 travel assistance for most new students and charge for residents' parking permits.
An increase in the amount received from government revenue grants will be used in 2014/15 to enable changes to parking and bus services to be phased in and, in the case of buses, support the development of more community transport alternatives.
Headline items from the budget agreed by cabinet today are: * The county council's share of the charge on a Band D property will remain at £1,161.50 for the fourth consecutive year if the draft budget is agreed by Full Council.
* The five second fire engines in Kendal, Maryport, Penrith, Whitehaven and Workington will not be removed.
* A one-off revenue fund of £300,000 will be made available to allow for an integrated, smooth and phased introduction of both on-street parking charges and charging for residents' parking permits.
* To enable communities to have the opportunity to respond to the withdrawal of subsidised bus services and post-16 transport for new students, a one-off £1million transition fund will be set up. In addition, £500,000 of capital has been set aside over the next two years to help communities and post-16 providers.
* £76,000 has also been made available to support the introduction and delivery of the government's initiative to provide universal free schools meals for infant pupils * To respond to members concerns about their ability to hold Cabinet to account – the proposal to save money on Scrutiny will be scrapped.
Coun Jo Stephenson, deputy leader and cabinet member for resources at Cumbria County Council, said: "The scale of the financial challenge facing the county council is unprecedented.
"The county council is at the half way mark in a six year journey that will see its budget reduced by one in every four pounds that it used to receive to pay for local services. In total, this equates to roughly £769 for every household in Cumbria.
"The public consultation that has helped shape our draft budget has been the biggest ever and I would like to sincerely thank all those who took part.
"People who completed the budget consultation signalled their support for the vast majority of saving propositions – showing that the people of Cumbria understand the magnitude of the council's financial challenge and acknowledge that difficult decisions have to be made.
"While the sheer volume of savings which the council needs to make means it will never be possible to avoid tough and unpalatable decisions, I hope today's choices show how the cabinet has tried to minimise the effects of the changes that need to be made, within the limited resources available. "It also remains the case that the biggest single amount of savings in the new financial year will come from freeing up more management and administrative savings from across the council, as it becomes a smaller organisation.
"Delivering these savings will continue to be a painful and difficult process. We are nonetheless determined never to undermine our responsibilities to vulnerable people in Cumbria."

My 88 year old Mom broke her hip last week and they had to replace most of it. She is in a physical therapy hospital to get moving around again. The only thing is that the incision keeps leaking quite a bit.
Has anyone else had this problem and how long did it last?
It should mostly stop after the first week to 10 days…and if the glue is being used, even less than that. There may be some small drainage for those first couple weeks, but nothing that should require the bandage to be changed more than once a day after the first few days..
A recent patient of mine came to outpatient therapy two weeks after his surgery and the hip was draining rather significantly. We sent him to the surgeon right away, the fluid was aspirated and he had to be "resealed" with the glue again. He did have a mild infection which had to be drained and treated with antibiotics and eventually he had to have it stapled shut.
If they are having to change the bandage more than once a day after 7-10 days, I'd recommend the surgeon follow up with her.

text: Do Bush tactics seem familiar? Editor:The Bush dynasty is fairly consistent in their campaign methods. I'll mention a few examples:1) The 1988 election featured questions about the mental stability of Kitty Dukakis and who can forget the Willie Horton ads.2) The 1992 election gave us "Troopergate" in which it was alleged that Gov. Clinton used the Arkansas Highway Patrol to find women. Its author admitted some eight years later that the story was totally false.3) The attempt (somewhat successful) to label John McCain as anti-veteran possibly mentally handicapped and physically impaired due to his long confinement as a POW in Vietnam.4) In the battle for control of the Senate in 2002, "Shameless Chambliss" questioned the patriotism of the then Sen. Max Cleland, a man who lost both legs and an arm in Vietnam.5) Now, we have the challenge to the military record of John Kerry (three Purple Hearts, the Silver and Bronze Stars) for service in Vietnam. Fortunately this time the print media has alerted us to the lies behind these ads.George W. Bush, who has refused to condemn these fallacious ads has, in effect, given his approval. For one with his questionable military record to not denounce these ads cannot help but raise serious questions about his morals and/or courage. Is this what we want to lead us against the bin Ladens of this world.Bush claims to be steadfast in his beliefs. But, he has changed his mind on environment issues, on the need for a Homeland Security Department, on the need for the 9/11 Commission as well as nation building and his trademark "compassion."Let's rid ourselves of this phony J.R. Ewing who got this job as a result of questionable actions in Florida by Gov. Jeb Bush and the Secretary of State, Katherine Harris.M.F. LudoweseWoosterMoment like this makes it all worthwhileEditor:I witnessed something recently I would like to share.I restore antique farm tractors as a hobby. About six years ago I found out that there are clubs for people with hobbies like mine. I stumbled upon a show being held in Dover by a local club. Well, I have been going to their show every year since. A couple of years ago I decided to enter one of my restorations in the pulls the club has on the show's opening night. I just returned from this year's show and it was there this something happened.Once each day of the show a "parade of engines" takes place. I was going to drive in the parade. As my wife and I were walking towards where my tractor was parked, we stopped and noticed a man in his 20s, an older gentleman and a 3- or 4-year-old boy still in a stroller looking over my tractor. As it turned out it was three generations looking my old Allis over the father, the grandfather and the son. The father lifted his son out of the stroller and put him on the seat. The grandfather came around and stood behind the seat while the father took some pictures. I waited until they finished and we walked up to them and I told them that I could never think of a better use for my old tractor.All the satisfaction I ever felt bringing a rusted pile of junk back to life or the pleasure and pride I have gotten from showing, pulling and owning these old tractors paled to the satisfaction, pleasure and pride I got seeing the man taking a picture of his father and son by my old Allis.I have no idea who those people were. But I know someday when the grandfather is gone, perhaps my wife and I will be gone too, somewhere framed and hanging on a wall or sitting on a desk or maybe pressed between the pages of a photo album, there will be that picture. I should have just walked up and gave them the keys.Frank FoxDoylestown

The Most Unfaithful Countries I EUROPE
A place where more than 50% of men and women cheat on their partners?! The facts are in and the results will DEFINITELY surprise you...
Are you living in a cheating hot spot?
An amazing new video has lifted the lid on just how unfaithful men and women in different countries are...and we were pretty shocked by the results.
YouTube channel, Dating Beyond Borders, analysed surveys done by a host of companies and websites, like Match.com, and found that some countries have much higher rates of playing away than others.
Are you ready to hear their facts on the UK?
Apparently, 45% of British men and 32% of women have admitted to having an affair! This may sound bad, but us Brits are actually at the lower end of the infidelity spectrum. PLUS, we experience high levels of guilt compared to other nationalities.
The video also throws up some interesting facts about dating from around the world. Did you know people in Finland don't use words like 'cheating' and instead opt for morally neutral phrases like 'parallel relationships'.
When asked if they regret cheating, around 50% of Brits said yes, which is double the regret rate of French respondents.
Out of the 36 countries surveyed, the country with the highest rate of female infidelity is Nigeria - where an incredible 62% of women have admitted to playing the field.
This was followed by 59% of Thai women who've admitted to cheating (alongside 54% of Thai men).

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Take advantage of the opportunity to own superior Hereford genetics and support the Hereford Research Foundation (HRF) at the same time, thanks to Churchill Cattle Co.
Dale and Nancy Venhuizen at Churchill Cattle Co., Manhattan, Mont., have graciously offered a bred heifer to benefit the foundation that support Hereford research. She will sell Friday, Sept. 16, as Lot 79 in their "Pick of the Pasture Female Sale" in the new sale barn at the ranch. Lot 79 is Churchill Lady 094X, a January 2010 heifer by CJH Harland 408. She is bred to Churchill's exciting young bull, Churchill Sensation 028X, and due to calve Jan. 27. She is a very nice, complete heifer that will make an excellent cow for anyone, Venhuizen says.
"This great female comes from one of the premier performance herds in North America and Churchill Cattle Co. is recognized as a Gold TPR breeder," says Jack Ward, AHA chief operating officer and director of breed improvement. "Dale and Nancy are donating a heifer that has an EPD (expected progeny difference) profile that puts all of her $ Indexes in the top 25% of the breed. This Harland daughter represents some of the most proven genetics in the Hereford breed and the bonus is that she is bred to an exciting son of 3027.
"The AHA staff and Board of Directors and the Hereford Research Foundation Board of Directors thank the Venhuizen family for this generous donation," Ward adds.
The entire sale price will go directly to the HRF. For more information about the heifer and to view a video, visit www.ChurchillCattle.com.
In 2009, the HRF was established to support the American Hereford Association's (AHA) progressive goals of continuing research proving Herefords' benefits in the commercial industry.

Cal U football player accused in beating
A California University of Pennsylvania football player accused of severely beating a Virginia man faces aggravated assault and other charges.
The incident allegedly took place early Saturday on Third Street in California.
Claudy Mathieu, 20, a redshirt freshman defensive lineman from Philadelphia, also faces misdemeanor counts of simple assault and disorderly conduct and a summary citation for harassment.
California police officer Scott Van Divner said a large crowd of people were walking on both sides of the 300 block of Third Street yelling back and forth after midnight Saturday when Mathieu ran across the street, knocked down Mashkhal Ibriham, 21, of Harrisonburg, Va., and punched him repeatedly in the face and chest.
Van Divner said he separated the two and arrested Mathieu.
Police said Ibriham was taken by Brownsville Emergency Medical Service to Monongahela Valley Hospital in Carroll Township.
However, hospital spokeswoman Corrine Laboon said Sunday there was no record of Ibriham being at the facility.
Mathieu was arraigned via video and sent to the Washington County Correctional Facility in lieu of $30,000 cash bond.
California police Chief Rick Encapera said that, although no weapon was involved, the aggravated assault charge was likely because of "the degree of injury" to the victim.
Encapera said he could not provide details of Ibriham's injuries, but confirmed he suffered a significant cut on his head.
Cal U spokeswoman Christine Kindl confirmed Mathieu has been indefinitely suspended from the football team. She said the incident will be addressed not only by the team, but also through the university's discipline process.
According to the Cal U website, Mathieu made the dean's list last spring.
Court records show that in April, a summary count of harassment against Mathieu had been withdrawn. The charges had been filed with Magisterial District Judge Joshua P. Kanalis in Centerville. Mathieu faces a preliminary hearing 9:30 a.m. Sept. 9 before Kanalis. He remained in jail Monday evening.

IFP is the animation format of the Grand Theft Auto series since Grand Theft Auto III. With Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas there came a new version of the file format, but it still supports animations with the old version. IFP files can contain several single animations which are split up to objects and linked to the animated object or actor in that way. Each object contains a certain number of frames including a time key. Two frames are interpolated by the game.
File Specification
Version 1
Version 1 packages are split up as usual into several data structures. The values of those structures are identified by 4 byte information markers. Those are 4 characters describing the following value(s). Note that the only markers which are really used are "DGAN" and "NAME". All others are simply waste of space. Do not search for them in your code, because not all animations got information markers where they are expected. Sometimes they are also simply zero.
Offsets are always relative to the current file position. To convert a relative offset to an absolute one just add the number of read bytes. Strings are always padded to 4 byte bounds. The "AnimNameLength" string after the "NAME" information marker describes the string including the terminating zero-byte. You have to round up this value until the number is able to be divided by 4 without any rest, to get the number of bytes you have to write.
4b - FourCC - "ANPK" (Animation Package, Version identifier) 4b - Int32 - Offset to the end of the file 4b - FourCC - "INFO" 4b - Int32 - Offset to end of header 4b - Int32 - Number of animations Xb - Char[X] - Null-terminated string (internal file name used in the script)
4b - FourCC - "NAME" 4b - Int32 - Length of the name of the animation (X) Xb - char[X] - Animation name (null-terminated string) 4b - FourCC - "DGAN" 4b - Int32 - Offset to the end of the animation (including it's content) 4b - FourCC - "INFO" 4b - Int32 - Offset to first object (usually 0x08) 4b - Int32 - Number of objects in the animation 4b - Int32 - NULL
4b - FourCC - "CPAN" 4b - Int32 - Offset to end of object 4b - FourCC - "ANIM" 4b - Int32 - Offset to the start of frames (usually 0x2C) 28b - Char[28] - Object name (null-terminated string) 4b - Int32 - Number of frames 4b - Int32 - NULL 4b - Int32 - Next sibling 4b - Int32 - Previous sibling
Frame Info
4b - FourCC - Type 4b - Int32 - End of frame data
Frame Types
Frame types define the size and the content of a frame. Actually there are 3 known types. Each frame type identifier starts with K which corresponds to "Keyframe". The following 3 bytes define the order and the content of the data. They are ASCII encoded characters
R - Rotation T - Translation S - Scale 0 - None
Translation is a vector describing a difference in position relative to the current offset in the world as defined by parent frames. For cutscenes it is relative to an offset given in a special file. Usually just the root object contains translated frames.
Frame Data
Each type has a different structure. They can be combined and are read by the game in the order they are written in the type value.
// Rotation 4b - Float - Quaternion X 4b - Float - Quaternion Y 4b - Float - Quaternion Z 4b - Float - Quaternion W
// Translation 4b - Float - Position X 4b - Float - Position Y 4b - Float - Position Z
// Scale 4b - Float - Scale X 4b - Float - Scale Y 4b - Float - Scale Z
Every frame got one last floating value at the end describing the time in seconds.
4b - Float - Time
Version 2
Version 2 archives got basically the same hierarchy as above, but the structures are a bit different. In version 2 all strings are null-terminated, but they got a constant size of 24 bytes.
4b - FourCC - 'ANP3' (Animation Package 3, Version identifier. However there is no pack with ANP2) 4b - Int32 - Offset to end of file 24b - Char[24] - internal file name used in the script 4b - Int32 - Number of Animations
24b - Char[24] - Animation Name 4b - Int32 - Number of Objects 4b - Int32 - Size of frame data 4b - Int32 - Unknown, always 1
The size of data value is a number of bytes which corresponds to the exact size of the frame's usable data, including the compressed coordinates and rotation info.
24b - Char[24] - Object Name 4b - Int32 - Frame type: Child = 3, Root = 4 4b - Int32 - Number of Frames 4b - Int32 - Bone ID
Root frames usually follow the following structure:
2b - Int16 - Quaternion X 2b - Int16 - Quaternion Y 2b - Int16 - Quaternion Z 2b - Int16 - Quaternion W 2b - Int16 - Time (in seconds) 2b - Int16 - Translation X 2b - Int16 - Translation Y 2b - Int16 - Translation Z
Child sections normally have no translation values:
2b - Int16 - Quaternion X 2b - Int16 - Quaternion Y 2b - Int16 - Quaternion Z 2b - Int16 - Quaternion W 2b - Int16 - Time (in seconds)
To convert quaternion and translation values to floating values divide them by 4096.

Your Way To An Easy Ppi Reclaim
Isn't techonology amazing? Aside from the more popular photography equipment such as camera stabilizers, camera sliders and other camera stabilization systems, more and more digital cameras have built in GPS systems that can record where you took your photographs. This caught the attention of most people who are fond of photo sharing and using social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. You can check your camera if you have this feature or if it is compatible to any GPS system. Unfortunately, some DSLR cameras nowadays no longer carry a GPS system for geotagging. Back in 2008, a time when smartphones were first introduced in the market, dslr cameras still have this feature. But now that more people use smartphones, only a few people want a point-and-shoot camera with GPS. You're lucky if you have a smartphone with a mini camera because geotagging is already a common feature for this type of gadgets. It automatically geo tags every photo that it takes. One perfect example is the iPhone. Since iPhone is considered as the most popular smartphone, more and more developers are customizing their products to cater iPhone users, just like Glidegear's iphone camera stabilizer and other similar products. When it comes to its GPS system, you only need to download a camera application so it will have access to the GPS data and will sync to your photos. All these enhancements can make your smartphone function like a professional camera. Nikon and Canon DSLR do not have a built in GPS system but some have. Instead they designed a special gadget that has the ability to more. During the early days of digital photography, it really doesn't tell you much information about the photo you took, but now it will tell you everything. Even the aperture, ISO, shutter speed and other little details are attached to each photo file your camera captures. You can also download other applications like Apple iPhoto or Panoramio to get the most out of your geotagged photos.

Retailers Dodge a Bullet, Sales Unchanged
- Retail Sales for August were unchanged despite reports of swooning consumer confidence.
- Ex-auto Retail Sales increased by 0.1 percent. Auto retail sales dipped by 0.3 percent.
- The Producer Price Index for August was unchanged as the energy price index fell by 1.0 percent.
- The core Producer Price Index (less food and energy) increased by 0.1 percent.
- Business Inventories increased by 0.7 percent, supported by auto makers.
August Retail sales were unchanged even as consumer confidence fell back to recessionary levels. Most major sales categories showed moderate gains, but lower sales at auto dealers and clothing stores held the total down. As previously reported, unit auto sales for August showed a small drop from 12.2 million units in July to 12.1 million units. In today's report, dollar sales at auto dealers slipped by 0.3 percent. Ex-auto retail sales ticked up slightly by 0.1 percent. Furniture store sales dipped by 0.2 percent; not surprising given weak home sales over the summer. Building materials gained 0.2 percent. We should see a boost in September to building materials sales as a result of Hurricane Irene and other storms. Clothing store sales dipped by 0.7 percent, perhaps in response to strong price increases. Electronics and appliance stores increased sales by 0.5 percent. Overall, it is a benign report, still in line with our expectation of 1.7 percent real personal consumption expenditure growth in 2011Q3 and supportive of a moderate gains to Q3 real GDP.
The Producer Price Index for finished goods was unchanged in August. Core producer prices gained just 0.1 percent as tire prices were pumped up. A spike in rubber costs, unswerving global demand for car tires, plus blow-out demand for mining equipment tires is inflating tire prices worldwide. No flats are expected in September. Passenger car prices dipped by 0.4 percent, noteworthy after a string of increases. Food prices gained 1.1 percent due to higher meat prices. Energy prices fell by 1.0 percent, the third straight monthly decline. Over the past 12 months the Producer Price Index is up 6.5 percent. Business inventories gained 0.7 percent in July as manufacturing inventories gained 1.6 percent. The July rebound in auto production is also supportive of Q3 GDP.
Market Reaction: Equity markets opened positively but have settled. Treasury yields are up at the long end. Oil is down to $89.35/barrel. The dollar is giving ground against the yen and the euro.

Berlin (Mar. 21)
The visa requested by Leon Trotsky for entering into Germany will be granted today, it is predicted. The majority of the Cabinet members are in favor of granting him a visa, it was declared.
Meanwhile objection to Trotsky's being admitted to the country for the purpose of taking a cure has been raised by German health resorts. On the initiative of the spa Wiesbaden, a petition has been submitted to the government demanding that no visa be granted Trotsky since his presence would spoil business at the resort where he would elect to take the cure, it is claimed.
After twenty years in the rabbinate, Rabbi Louis D. Gross has been granted a year's sabbatical leave by the board of trustees of Union Temple, Brooklyn, N. Y.

Let's say I have a DB with 2 users on it. If I backup that database and move it to another server that has logins with the exact same name, I note that when I restore the database, the user logins still exist under the security of the database, but I have to manually remove them, and then go into the server's security logins section and setup the logins to have rights again to the restored DB.
Is there a way to minimize this or is it natural that the DB says "These logins might HAVE the same name, but since they exist between 2 different servers, they are not actually the SAME user, and you'll have to do what you're doing in order for the logins to work on that restored location"?
you can create script and just run after restore database on different server
i think you should remove login in database fist and recreate logindatabase -> security -> user remove loginsorry for my English.
Yes, it is natural in an MSSQL sense -- logins are actually identified by SIDs not names. The logins don't exist in the database, they exist on the server so anything granted to them dies with the login you failed to move. A better pattern for MSSQL database security is to use database roles and assign the permissions to them. Said roles live with and travel with the database. So, when you have a restore scenario like you are talking about alls you need to do is create appropriate logins and put them in the right groups.

My husband and I have a plan.
Sometime in the next year or so, we want to move out of this cosy little appartment and hopefully onto a property in the countryside around Vejle - just south of here and closer to my husband's workplace.
The idea is going to be that while he goes about his archaeologist shenanigans, I will focus on trying to make us at least semi self-sufficent through maintaining a kitchen garden, maybe a small brood of chickens and anything else that crops up around the house. Now some might see this as being a bit old-fashioned, the woman at home while the man brings home the bacon. But we dont see it that way. We see it as a fair balance of the workload of our combined lives together. The husband has actually just said that he would love it to be the other way around, so that he could be at home pottering in the garden. But at the end of the day my grasp of field archaeology is pretty weak so I dont think his workplace would let us swap. :P
I look forward to it. So much so that I have actually lately been feeling that my life is a little on hold untill the first moment I dig into the soil on our own little piece of the world. I've been ploughing the internet for sites on self-sufficiency, organic fruit and vegetable gardening, raising chickens, composting, basic capentry techniques and anything else we might need to know to get the rest of our lives underway. I have even started trying to maintain a little windowsill garden here in the flat, just to get into the swing of things.
The other day the husband placed an order through amazon for "The New Complete Book Of Self-Sufficiency: The Classic Guide for Realists and Dreamers" by John Seymour, and it got me to thinking about all the groovy books I left behind in Australia on just this topic.
I have wanted to live a semi self-sufficient lifestyle since I was in my late teens. When I turned 18 and inherited a sum of money, I even seriously looked into buying a share on a commune outside of Nimbin, on the far north coast of New South Wales, just to try and live that dream. Unfortunately, the banks (whom I still needed because my "sum of money" was not quite enough) didn't see my dream as being very profitable to them so they denied my loans over and over again.
Now I really wish that I had kept all those great books I had on permaculture and gardening and generally being a green-thumbed hippie. I cant for the life of me think why I didn't bring them either. I knew from very early on in my relationship with my husband that he had similar dreams, so there was always the possibility that we would end up pursuing them. The only reasons I can think of for my stupidity are:
A) They were all pretty big books, and therefore fairly heavy, so the added cost of shipping them was something we didn't really need.
B) Most of them were based on Australian and southern hemisphere climates, so I somehow didn't think they would be useful in Denmark.
C) I'm a right, royal nincompoop.
I'm going for the C option right now, kicking myself over and over for not having them here next to me to look longingly at while we bide our time before making it all a reality.

It's been 2 years since i've had a full time J-O-B. I have worked part time and been able to keep my benefits going by the earnings offsetting the benefits. As a student, this has been a great help.
Our pastor asked early this year who had a terrible 2009, and everyone raised their hands; but me. I told her later that '09 was the best year I've ever had.
I've discovered the treasure that is contract work, and I actually make more money driving to work than I ever made working. I sell stuff out of my garage (A La American Pickers) and sell on eBay. I get to travel the mid-west, expenses paid, and actually HAD to buy a truck. My life has never been better, and I owe it all to the recession.
If I hadn't lost my construction job I would have never been forced to face my fears.
I had to go back to unemployment for something the other day. Unbelievable!
Every day, people gripe about their jobs, boss, pay. These folks are sitting around, complaining about having to wait for their questions to be answered. Most of them just want to get home and watch "Baywatch" re-runs.
They make over $10 an hour sitting there, and would be doing nothing productive even if they were home. (Just a suggestion: You could pay a month's rent or more every year for what you pay for those cigarettes.)
They found their niche: getting paid to whine.
Fine. Stay home and gripe. Blame Bush. Blame Obama. Blame Lincoln for all I care. The longer it takes you to realize there's enough for everyone, the more turkey I can eat while I soar with the rest of the eagles.
