Why Skype Is a Bad Idea for Arraignments
Michael S. Pollok rightly decries New York's failure to comply with the constitutional command to provide counsel at arraignments in many areas of the state, a violation that is only now beginning to be addressed in the wake of the Court of Appeals' ruling in Hurrell-Harring v. State of New York, 15 N.Y.3d 8 (2010) ("Use Video Hook-Ups for Arraignments," Jan. 15, 2014).

For additional information or questions about Landlord and Tennant Information please contact the Civil Law Department.
ORAL AND WRITTEN LEASESA lease is an agreement to rent property. It may be written or oral. Most are written, however, because oral agreements can be subject to misunderstandings. A written lease can be in the form of a formal contract or simply a copy of a letter that states the rights and obligations of both tenant and landlord. Florida law requires that most notices to and from a landlord must be in writing, even if the rental agreement is oral. In cases were there is no written lease, the term of your rental payment schedule (monthly, weekly, etc.) determines the length of the agreement. See "Termination of Tenancy".
ACCESS TO THE PREMISESOnce you lease a dwelling your right to possession is much the same as if you owned it. The landlord can, however, enter at reasonable times and with proper notice to inspect, repair, supply agreed services, or show to prospective or actual purchaser or tenant, mortgagee, workman or contractor.
LANDLORD'S OBLIGATION TO MAINTAIN PREMISESIf the unit is a single-family home, duplex or mobile home, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing, he must:
If the unit is other than a single-family house, duplex, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing, he must
IF THE LANDLORD DOES NOT COMPLYYou may be able to withhold the rent if your landlord fails to do what the law or the lease requires. You must however, announce your intention by certified mail at least seven days before the rent is due to allow time to remedy the problem. If the problem is not corrected within the seven days and you withhold the rent the landlord may take you to court to collect it. Under these circumstances, you must pay the rent into the court registry pending the judge's determination of the case.
IF THE TENANT DOES NOT COMPLYYou can be evicted for not living up to your end of the lease. Depending on the offense the process for removal varies.
FAILURE TO MEET LEASE OBLIGATIONSExcept for the failure to pay rent, a landlord must notify you, in writing, of the shortcomings and give you seven days to correct the situation. If you do not reply within seven days, the landlord can begin the eviction process.
NON-PAYMENT OF RENTThe landlord must serve the tenant with a written notice allowing three days (excluding weekends and legal holidays) for you to pay the rent or vacate the premises. If you do not pay within the three days, the landlord may begin the eviction process. The landlord must file suit in the office of the Clerk of County Court, Landlord/Tenant Division, in the county to which the dwelling is situated. The Tenant then has five days (excluding weekends and legal holidays) to respond, in writing to the court. If there is no response from the tenant a judgment is entered against the tenant. The Clerk of County Court will issue a "Writ of Possession" to be served by the Sheriff notifying the tenant that the tenant will be evicted in 24 hours.
PROHIBITED PRACTICESFlorida law does not allow a landlord to force a tenant out by:
If any of these occur, the tenant may sue for actual and consequential damages or three months' rent, whichever is greater, plus court costs and attorney's fees.
TERMINATION OF TENANCYA tenancy without a specific duration may be terminated by either party giving proper written notice (see 83.56(4) F.S.), as follows:
Tenancy Written Notice
Under Florida law, email addresses are public records. If you do not want your email address released in response to a public records request, do not send electronic e-mail to this entity. Instead, contact this office by phone or in writing.

The Crossley ID Guide:
"This photographic field guide is different, and quite informative. Each species is presented as a number of small individual photographs mounted on a full-page photograph of their typical preferred habitat. . . . Mostly targeted to beginners to use in the field, but it is detailed enough to be a useful study guide for more advanced birders, too."--Devorah Bennu, GrrlScientist at The Guardian
"Informative, unique and enthusiastically written, with something for everyone. Sure to be an excellent addition to many a bookshelf and a core reference for those building on their bird ID skills."--Anthony Hurd, Birding Frontiers
"If you are just a beginner or wanting to expand your skills then the Crossley ID Guide to birds of Britain and Ireland is a 'must buy book' and even if you are experienced birder then it is a highly engrossing book looking at the scenery of the plates and the postures of the birds making a great browse through."--Birding Ecosse
"The multi-image scenes of wildfowl in The Crossley ID Guide: Britain and Ireland are especially praiseworthy. . . . I heartily recommend it to anyone looking for an introductory guide and learning tool to British and Irish birds."--Phil Slade, Another Bird Blog
"Richard Crossley and Dominic Couzens have lifted the field guide out of the rut and produced a first class book that is well worth looking at."--Biggest Twitch
"Showing lots of birds in natural surroundings really does conjure up the 'feel' of the bird sighting as well as its technical details."--Mark Avery Blog
"One of the great things about my job is that I get to see a lot of bird and natural history books. Choosing the four featured books for each issue of Nature's Home, just four times a year, takes a lot of time and thought. It takes a really special one to jump out from the crowd and I was delighted to see that the Crossley guide to UK birds lived up to my expectations."--Mark Ward, Nature's Home Blog
"Anyone reading my review will be aware just how highly I rate the Crossley Guide."--John Hague, Drunk Birder Blog
"The opportunity to compare potential confusion species in the same 'field of view' in the guide or pick out the odd one in a flock can only be a useful tool."--Alan Tilmouth, Birdguides
"A thoroughly excellent book. If you are wondering what Christmas present to buy for the British birder who has every field guide there is, look no further!"--David Bakewell, Dig Deep blog
"A noteworthy, excellent addition to the European bird guide lists."--Donna Schulman, 10,000 Birds
"[A] revolutionary new bird book."--Stephen Moss, Guardian
"It's a book for all ages and would actually make a great Christmas present for someone starting out in bird watching."--Over Wyre Focus
"Birding is an art form in the United Kingdom, and Richard Crossley and Dominic Couzens team up to turn field guides into an art with The Crossley ID Guide: Britain & Ireland. . . . Ideal just to read or an equally useful tool in the field, this book should have a place of distinction on every birder's bookshelf."--Melissa Mayntz, About.com
"I have also been using this book to ID some of my own wild birds and have . . . found it highly useful. This book is thorough and descriptions detailed about species specific behavior, breeding and placement as well as physical size, seasonal plumage and feeding. . . . This book has literally grown on me; I've gone full circle from unsure to love. I have always valued both Dominic Couzens and Richard Crossley as they are excellent photographers and naturalists. This is the perfect ID book and gift for the beginner to the advanced birder because of the many photos of each species with the added variations in seasonal and age colorations. Plus the fact they are in natural backgrounds it gives you a feel of real bird watching as you have to look for some of them more closely. So this Crossley ID guide now has earned a firm place on my birdy bookshelf."--Gadget Girl Reviews
"[T]his is a solid field guide that expands how we use and arrange photographs of birds in a field guide format. . . . [M]ost birders will discover that this is yet another useful reference on bird identification that will complement other field guides in their library."--Stephen Dinsmore, Iowa Bird Life
"I would highly recommend this book to help you improve your skills at identifying birds in real situations."--Su Gough, BTO News
"Whilst the text and many other aspects of the book are a revelation, it is the plates that make the book for me."--North Star
"Stunning! There is no other word to describe the recently published Crossley ID Guide to Britain and Ireland. How it would have transformed my early birding if such a publication had been available thirty or more years ago."--Surfbirds.com
"Crossley and Couzens certainly have excellent credentials in bird identification, and their talents are on display here. While the present volume is a bird guide, it is unlike any that this reviewer has seen."--P.K. Lago, Choice
"I think this is a user-friendly guide and is unique in its use of photo-montages of life-scenes: varying the angles and distance of the birds to resemble the situation when birding in the real world. It really emphasizes the importance of shape, behavior, size and even habitat that the bird is in which birders really need to grasp to progress in their identification skills. . . . [Y]ou can't question the appeal of this sort of guide to beginner and intermediate birders. . . . [I]t most definitely serves its purpose as a teaching tool and field guide for the basic birds to be encountered and how to correctly ID them."--Danni Gilroy, Next Generation Birders
"The Crossley ID Guide: Britain and Ireland is an impressive and significant contribution to the range of bird identification guides available for the British Isles. Given the development of apps and the availability of pocket guides it is perhaps most valuable not in the field, although Crossley clearly intends it for this purpose, but as a handy home vade mecum to be consulted on return from a birding foray to verify sightings. It is also eminently suited to browsing prior to venturing out and as a 'training' aid for new birders. These features also recommend it for library use--any UK public library that needs to strengthen or just enhance its bird watching collection is recommended to purchase, both for the reference and lending shelves."--Tony Chalcraft, Reference Reviews
"[T]his book is aimed at beginning and intermediate birders. However if you are an experienced US birder but have never birded Great Britain or Ireland, this book is also for you."--Frederic H. Brock, Wildlife Activist
"The book looks fabulous. For me, it spans the gap between the traditional field guide with paintings and the newer guides with photographs. It is the best of both worlds. Now there's no excuse not to identify everything correctly!"--Nick Baker, Wildlife TV Presenter and Naturalist
"Bright, bold, clean-looking and easy to use, it is not just an identification guide--it is a celebration of our birds and how they fit into our landscape."--Andy Stoddart

SHEPHERDSVILLE – The issue is slated to come to a head on June 24.
But the future of the long-term sub pay schedule for the Bullitt County Public School System seems far from being decided.
With chairman Tim Wiseheart unable to attend the past meeting, the issue on whether to alter the current format to pay long-term substitute teachers who are in the classroom over 20 straight days was pushed back a month.
The issue was discussed during the school board's June workshop session.

The Mike Young Team
While we may start with the 203k, this meeting will tell you about similar conventional and investor programs as well. They work very similar to the 'k'
FHA 203k Basics
WHAT IS A 203k LOAN?
FHA has been around for a long time and if you have ever had or heard of an FHA loan you were hearing about the 203(b) loan. The 203k is just a little farther down in the Section 203 loan list. The 203k loan is a fully disbursed loan which allows a borrower to purchase or refinance a property and finance the cost of rehabilitation with one loan. Because it is fully disbursed at closing, the 203k loan can be insured by HUD as soon as the loan closes. The mortgage amount for these loans is based on the projected value of the property with the work completed, taking into account the cost of the work. HUD has taken a strong position to encourage this program and the loan is now easier to originate and close than ever before. Use a consultant. A 203k loan can close as fast as the lender can close a 203b loan.
203k Advantages
· Up-front MIP can be financed into the loan
· Non-profit organizations are eligible with only 5% down payment and can buy multiple properties
· Finance up to 6 months mortgage payments
· Special HUD down payment programs exist
· Most closing costs can be financed
· An FHA loan is assumable
Properties that require the following work items are not eligible for financing under the Limited 203k:
Major rehabilitation or major remodeling, such as the relocation of a load-bearing wall;
New construction (including room additions);
Repair of structural damage;
Repairs requiring detailed drawings or architectural exhibits;
Landscaping or similar site amenity improvements;
Any repair or improvement requiring a work schedule longer than six (6) months; or
Rehabilitation activities that require more than two (2) payments per specialized contractor.
Mortgagors may not use the Limited 203k program to finance any required repairs arising from the appraisal that do not appear on the list of Limited 203k Eligible Work Items or that would:
Necessitate a "consultant" to develop a "Specification of Repairs/Work Write-Up";
Require plans or architectural exhibits;
Require a plan reviewer;
Require more than six months to complete;
Result in work not starting within 30 days after loan closing; or
Cause the mortgagor to be displaced from the property for more than 30 days during the time the rehabilitation work is being conducted. (FHA anticipates that, in a typical case,
the mortgagor would be able to occupy the property after mortgage loan closing).
Things You Can Do With The 203k
Mixed Use properties - You can renovate a mixed use property provided the commercial space represents less than one floor of the structure. The commercial uses cannot affect the health and safety of the occupants.
203k Eligible Improvements
There is a minimum requirement of $5,000 in eligible (necessary) improvements on the subject property. Improvements to a detached garage, a new detached garage, or the addition of an attached unit (if allowed by local zoning ordinances) can also be included in this first $5,000. * The look a likes have no minimum amount of rehab. ** Read this carefully - this minimum has been removed... there is no minimum amount of rehab now...2008
The mortgage must include one or more of the items listed below:
Items that will not become a permanent part of the property are not eligible. Luxury items are not eligible. These items include, but are not limited to New swimming pools, exterior hot tubs, saunas, spas, tennis courts, and barbecue pits.
Which Properties are Eligible for the 203k?
1. Any one to four unit properties which have been completed (with a certificate of occupancy) for at least one year are acceptable according to the provisions of local zoning requirements.
2. Homes that have been demolished or razed as a part of the rehabilitation process can be rehabbed as long as the existing foundation system is not affected and remains in tact. (as long as there is a portion of the original foundation)
3. A home can be moved onto a foundation on the mortgaged property, provided the proceeds from the sale of the previous location are not released until the foundation is properly inspected and the home is satisfactorily attached to the new foundation.
4. Any property the buyer wishes to convert either from single family into a two-four family property (if zoning will allow the change) or from a two to four family dwelling into a single family unit. Let's take this one a little farther - You can take a 5-8 plex and turn it into a 1-4 unit. i.e..... Make an 8 plex into a fourplex and use this program.
5. A manufactured home that was built AFTER June 15, 1976, and has been on a permanent foundation for over one year is eligible, provided the unit must have been delivered to the site when it was new, prior to being occupied.
6. A 203k can be used on a "mixed use residential property" provided it meets the following requirements:
The floor space used for commercial purposes does not exceed...
33% for a three story building
49% for a one or two-story building
7. Condominiums are eligible with the same restrictions as an FHA loan.
203k "Look-A-Likes" for INVESTORS
Investors can purchase SFRs with 20% down on the purchase price plus the rehab amount. This gives you a loan amount up to 95% of the after improved loan amount. Find a buyer that has the 5% down payment and qualifies with the lender...close the home with a one time assumable loan and get your funds released from escrow. No additional appraisal is needed. This is the FNMA "Home Style" loan and the old "escrow commitment procedure" works on it.

I am recurringly getting this error.
Spotify Premium Member
Device: Motorola Droid 3
Android Version: 2.3.4
Carrier: Verizon Wireless
Phone is connected to 3G and WiFi data.
- Android Settings - > Storage settings reports:
- 8.30GB of 11.35GB free space on "Internal Storage"
- 25.28GB of 29.81GB free space on "SD card"
- 1.03GB of available space on "Application storage"
I first uninstalled and reinstalled Spotify by following this suggested sequence:
- using the "Delete cache and saved data" in the Spotify settings
- rebooted the phone
- Clicking "Clear Data" from the Android Settings -> Manage Applications
- rebooted the phone
- Clicking "Uninstall" from the Android Settings -> Manage Applications
- rebooted the phone
- Attaching to a PC as a USB mass storage device, and searched for and deleted every directory with the word "spotify" in it from both the internal and external mounted storage folders.
- disconnected from USB and switched phone off
- Removed the micro SD memory card from my phone, placed it in the SD card slot (using an adapter) on my PC and instructed Windows to scan for drive errors. It reported none.
- Unmounted SD card cleanly, placed back in to phone, Turned phone on, went to Google Play store, and installed Spotify again
- rebooted the phone
- Started and Logged in to Spotify with Facebook, verified login was successful.
- rebooted the phone.
- Attached to a PC as a USB mass storage device and verified that the Spotify had created a directory structure in /sdcard-ext/Android/data/com.spotify.mobile.android.ui - verified this was not present on /sdcard/Android/data
- Started spotify, changed settings to download at "Extreme quality"
- rebooted the phone
- Launched spotify, and instructed it to download a playlist of approximately 400 songs
- After about 1 GB of transfer, I recurringly get the error "Offline syncing has stopped as there's no space left on this device"
- rebooted the phone
- started Spotify again, and still get this error while downloading ANY playlist.
Repeated above procedure two additional times over the course of the past week to double check this was, in fact an issue. Tried downloading shorter playlists, but all eventually end up with this error after some data has been transferred.
- No other versions of Spotify were running on my PC or other device while the downlaod was taking place.
- Phone was "factory reset" approximately 2 months all data/cache/internal/external storage was formatted.
- Phone is NOT rooted or running any third party firmware or Android version
I have the same phone, went through these same steps, and am getting the same error. I tried breaking up a playlist of 100 songs into two playlists of 50. The first sync'ed without issue. The second got about 80% through before I got the "No space left on this device" error. Both "internal storage" and my recently-formatted SD card have over 10GB of free space.

It's not often that an album is actually scary. I know that plenty of metal bands set out to strike fear into the listener and fail miserably. It's doubtful that Obiat is a band that wanted to scare it's fan, but with Eye Tree Pi they've achieved that in spades. Hailing from the U.K., Obiat third effort calls upon some of the modern prog elements that bands like Mastodon and Neurosis use, combine it with Cave In's spaciness, and hold onto enough melody to keep the listener hooked.
Ironically, this record would play out as a really great soundtrack to a film. It moves in quiet/loud statements that build emotion and intensity as it progresses. But just when you're ready for the album to blow it's top, it comes back down and finishes itself in a eerie calmness. Take tracks like "AA54089"- the song barely holds onto the tracks it barrels down and brings you to a near-crash before haulting. "NoMad, NoMind" is the standout song that fills the void between modern doom and Fugazi's intelligence in songwriting. As the centerpiece to the album, it serves as a link between the two dynamics that Obiat strongly relies on to make an album move along at the proper pace. The third track, "Serpent's Rites", almost feels like it's telling you the story of the characters involved in the film showing in your head.
As modern heavy music is seeing bands like Baroness and Mastodon bring a proggy/doomy style to the masses, bands like Obiat are poised to see an increase in their fanbase. Eye Tree Pi is a consistent, solid rock record with sweeping movements and enough emotion to draw in the most hip of music fans, but still has enough dirginess to keep the diehard stoner rock fan holding on. It's early in the new year, but if this record is any indication of what's to come, Small Stone Records is going to have one helluva year.

The White House is attempting…
The S&P Global Platts Top…
The Nigerian government says that in order to boost the country's electrical output to 40,000 megawatts the country needs $10 billion in annual investment over next decade.
In making the observation Nigerian Minister of Power Bath Nnaji noted that the federal government did not have such amounts of money unilaterally to invest in upgrading the nation's power generation capacity and emphasized the need for the government to partner with the private sector if such goals were to be achieved, Abuja's This Day newspaper reported.
Nnaji cautioned that even if Nigeria manages to achieve the goal of 40,000-megawatt power generation, it would still not be enough to solve the country's needs, citing South Africa as an example, saying that its population of about 47 million was still battling with inadequate power supply. Nnaji added, "So, we need to do more than 40,000 megawatts. As a result we are looking at ways to augment what we presently have. Currently we have two major sources, which are hydro and thermal. We are now adding the third source, which is coal.
We are building three coal fire power stations in Enugu, Gombe and Kogi. Nigeria's coal is the highest in terms of quality in the world. It is only coal from Australia that can compete with Nigeria. We are doing 1,000 megawatts in each station."

Victim of fatal crash had been pulled over
A Fruita police officer who contacted and released an 18-year-old Grand Junction woman early Sunday morning came upon an accident about a half-hour later in which the same woman lay dying.
Samantha Ann Loy, 18, died after her car careened off the eastbound lane of Interstate 70 by mile marker 23, near the 20 Road overpass, and flung her unrestrained body out the driver's-side window, authorities said.
Loy, a 2008 Central High School graduate and a Mesa State College freshman, was a contestant for Miss Colorado Teen USA 2009 and had been a competitive cheerleader in Grand Junction since childhood, relatives said.
Fruita police officer Nick Peck stopped Loy's car about 1 a.m. for two minor traffic violations, Chief Mark Angelo said in a press release.
Loy appeared to be having difficulty finding a friend's house, and Peck suggested she wait in a parking lot for the friend to lead her there.
Peck observed no indicators of alcohol or drug impairment with Loy, Angelo said in the press release.
Alcohol was considered a factor in the crash, the State Patrol said. Loy's sister-in-law, Valerie Loy, also said that Samantha had been drinking.
No immediate information as to her blood-alcohol content was available. A blood-alcohol content of 0.08 percent is the threshold for driving under the influence in Colorado. At 18, however, Loy, couldn't drink legally.
"She had been drinking more than she should have been," Valerie Loy said.
It also is possible that Loy was using her cell phone at the time of the accident, State Patrol Trooper Mike Heath said.
The possibility that she was texting at the time was "what we're thinking," Heath said.
It wasn't known immediately how much Loy had been drinking or where she had been before she was contacted the first time by the Fruita police, Valerie Loy said.
Fruita Officer Peck was shaken by the series of events, Angelo said.
"He's going through second-guessing himself, wondering if he had done things differently." Angelo said. "He's having a hard time with it. It's an unfortunate set of circumstances."
Peck was one of at least three Fruita officers who went to the accident scene.
When the officers at the accident concentrated only on Loy, others who stopped questioned why the officers weren't looking for any other victims, Valerie Loy said.
"We know she was alone," Valerie Loy said the officers responded. "We just pulled her over."

After 65 years of trading, one of South Australia's iconic food businesses has gone into voluntary administration with debts of more than $3 million.
The fourth generation Spring Gully Foods went into voluntary administration yesterday afternoon.
The company specialises in jams, chutneys, pickles, sauces and honey.
Its managing director Kevin Webb says its financial losses are due to a dramatic fall in retail sales over the last five weeks.
Kangaroo Island beekeeper and creditor Steven Heatley has been supplying honey to the company for three years and is owed $14,000.
"I couldn't sleep because it throws me into a tail spin now as to where I go from here, because I live hand to mouth and I'm building up other ideas in my business. That's years of work and it comes to a dead stop and it also puts us into the hands of fewer and fewer honey packers."

Including the most recent, five periods of significant employment contraction in the United States have occurred over the past forty years. According to non-farm payroll data supplied by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. non-farm employment figures have averaged 2.3 percent reductions in labor from peak to trough during the prior four cycles. Most recently, employment fell 6.4 percent before beginning to rebound.
A comparison of indexed oil prices during the 50 months subsequent to peak employment reveals that oil is currently trading within the band of price movements seen over the prior four employment cycles (i.e. 1974 to 1976, 1981 to 1983, 1990 to 1993, and 2001 to 2005). We used 50 months because that is how much time has elapsed since the most recent employment peak of January 2008. America still needs another 5 million jobs before it surpasses this prior peak. As the red line in the graph above denotes how oil prices are tracking to the previous cycle, and considering America's thirst for crude, the likelihood for oil prices to meander closer toward the upper-end of the band appears plausible as the country continues to recover.
In absolute terms, peak to trough reductions averaged 2.3 million workers in past cycles. During the recent downturn, which started in January 2008, 8.8 million employees were cut from the count by February 2010. Despite adding nearly 3.5 million jobs since the trough, hiring needs to increase by another 5.3 million before the country surpasses its previous peak in employment levels.
We have all heard that at the current pace of monthly employment gains it will take several more years to fully recover. While this may be true, what gets missed is that after 24 months of expanding employment, February's non-farm employment was 2.7 percent higher than trough levels. The previous two employment cycles only needed gains of 1.6 percent and 2.2 percent, respectively, to return to full recovery.
Without getting into a history lesson, most comparisons between the current economic situation (while sub-par) and the Great Depression are more hyperbole than factually justified. Non-farm employment dropped by 7.6 million from 1929 until 1933. According to the 1930 Census, the labor force in total was 44.9 million. Combined, these figures suggest that the initial employment drop during the Great Depression was three times the magnitude of what we recently faced.
Employment did not fully recover until America entered World War II (in 1941), or roughly 12 years after the stock market crash. If the employment situation continues to recover at its current pace, the span from prior to peak to when employment surpasses those levels could be around 2015 or almost 7 years. Conversely, three of the past four employment cycles took less than 3 years on average to fully recover.
Refreshing Memories
When President Barack Obama first took office, his administration passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. This stimulus package grew to cost $840 billion, in which the objective of these funds was to create jobs. According to recent documents, over $749 billion of the funds have been distributed. If we very generously assume that these funds resulted in every job gained since the recent trough, then the cost per individual job gained subsequent to passage of the act is $243,267. If we take the average recovery from past cycles and net this figure against the current number of jobs recovered, then only 1.1 million jobs would likely be due to the Recovery Act. In this second example, each job "created" by the stimulus actually costs $751,174. Either way, these costs seem outrageous regardless of how many jobs were created.
And, the truth is we will never know how many jobs were created by this stimulus because the tracking and reporting was configured in such a manner to make the task impossible using government data! Here is the actual text from the frequently asked questions section of the recovery website:
Why can't I find the total number of jobs funded under the Recovery Act?
Don't you love the way the answer places the blame for inaccurate tracking on the recipients of funds? Here is the link if you want to explore.

Can't use Iceweasel Flash 10 plugin for Debian 5.0.3
Please excuse my ignorance as a total Linux newbie, but:
I've been trying for a week trying to get Flash to work for the Iceweasel (OR Epiphany) browser in Debian, but gnash, mplayer, totemplayer does not let me view YouTube videos (nor Apple.com/trailers, which I know needs quicktime).
I tried to download the Flash 10 plugin from the Adobe website, but the tar.gz file only has the flash plugin .so file but no xmt or installer files that Adobe claims to be in it. Iceweasel is not recognising the .so file when I put it into my iceweasel/plugins folder.
Finally, I am running Debian 5.0.3 on a PowerBook G4, i.e. w/ a PowerPC processor.
Is there any way to get this to work?
Flash Player is a cross-platform browser plug-in that delivers breakthrough Web experiences to over 98% of Internet users.
Method 1
If you run Etch you will want to use backport.org
First you need to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file using the following command
#nano /etc/apt/sources.list
add the following line
deb http://www.backports.org/debian etch-backports main contrib non-free
save and exit the file.
Update the source list using the following command
#apt-get update
All backports are deactivated by default. If you want to install something from backports run:
#apt-get -t etch-backports install "packagename"
If you are using etch and you want apt to verify the downloaded backports you can import backports.org archive's key into apt:
#apt-get install debian-backports-keyring
If you want to get your packages from backports upgraded automatically the following entry in /etc/apt/preferences should be sufficient:
Package: *
Pin: release a=etch-backports
Pin-Priority: 200
Once you have backports all set up do one of the following commands
#apt-get update
#apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
Method 2
Using debian-multimedia.org repo
First you need to download the debian-multimedia-keyring package from here
Install using the following command
#dpkg -i debian-multimedia-keyring_2008.10.16_all.deb
you need to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file using the following command
#nano /etc/apt/sources.list
add the following lines which is suitable for you
For etch (stable) alpha, amd64, hppa, i386, ia64, powerpc and sparc packages
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main
deb ftp://ftp.debian-multimedia.org etch main
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org stable main or
deb ftp://ftp.debian-multimedia.org stable main
For lenny (testing) alpha, amd64, armel, hppa, i386, ia64, mipsel, powerpc and sparc packages
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org lenny main
deb ftp://ftp.debian-multimedia.org lenny main
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org testing main or
deb ftp://ftp.debian-multimedia.org testing main
For sid (unstable) alpha, amd64, armel, hppa, i386, ia64, mipsel, powerpc and sparc packages.
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main or
deb ftp://ftp.debian-multimedia.org sid main
For experimental amd64, i386 and powerpc packages. transcode, k9copy and kplayer (Qt4 version) and mjpegtools packages.
The official Debian experimental repository isn't needed.
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org experimental main or
deb ftp://ftp.debian-multimedia.org experimental main
For source
deb-src http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main or
deb-src ftp://ftp.debian-multimedia.org sid main
Install flash player using the following command
#apt-get install flashplayer-mozilla
Once you have flash installed you can check in Iceweasel by entering about:plugins in the address bar. It should show something like:
Shockwave Flash
File name: /usr/lib/flashplayer-mozilla/libflashplayer.so
Shockwave Flash 10.0.12.36
The above works for Iceweasel, Opera, Epiphany, and Midori
In the .tar.gz file, there is an installer called (IIRC) flashplayer-installer. Install it by either:
cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins
either use the backports.org repo and install flashplugin-nonfree or use the debian-multimedia.org repo and install flashplayer-mozilla either way will give you Flash 10.
Shockwave Flash
File name: /usr/lib/flashplayer-mozilla/libflashplayer.so
Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32
I am running Lenny. I followed the instructions. I get the message that Here is what I got.
Saving to: `./install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz'
Sorry, I messed up the last message.
Flash does not work. I don't know what went wrong.

The Watertown-Mayer School board officially voted to eliminate diving from the district's high school swimming and diving program during its June 10 meeting.
By a 5-2 vote, with Jeff Jackson and Jennifer Hoover opposing the motion, the board approved Athletic Director Mary Haugen's proposal to phase out the boys' diving program over the next three years and eliminate the girls' program immediately.
Haugen's original proposal called for the immediate elimination of both programs, but the new proposal will allow all current high school boys with diving experience to finish their careers. There are no girls in grades 9-12 with diving experience, but there are two seventh and eighth graders.
"This isn't something we just jumped at and said, yeah, let's eliminate it," Watertown-Mayer school board member Tim Thompson said of a process that spanned more than a month and included discussion at numerous meetings. "There's been a lot of discussion about it. It's something we've all taken pretty seriously."
Several of the five board members who voted in favor of eliminating the event noted that the three-year sunset of the boys' program could potentially lend itself to a reconsideration of the decision if anything were to change in the coming years.
"If there's a way or a reason in the next three years that something else makes sense, I have no problem with revisiting the issue," board member Steve Burns said. "Right now, it doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense to do it the way we're doing it."
The rationale behind the decision to eliminate diving — one of 12 events in a high school swimming and diving meet — has multiple parts, including financial considerations. Haugen told the board that it was difficult to justify spending $3,000 annually on coaching for a specialized event that accommodates only a handful of athletes each year.
However in justifying their decision, most of the board members indicated the financial aspect was only a small part of the reason for their vote.
"For me, it's more of a logistical concern," board member Jennifer Janikula said. "It's not about the money."
The logistical concerns center on the fact that Watertown-Mayer's diving boards were removed from its pools in 2009 after a competitor from a visiting team her head on the bottom of the pool. Prior to that, diving was only allowed in the school's pool if all parties involved signed a waiver agreeing to compete in a pool that did not meet current state standards.
Over the last several years, divers have practiced and competed in Waconia at Safari Island. For competitions, the diving portion would begin at 4 p.m., and afterward, those involved would travel to Watertown for the swimming portion, which would begin at 6 p.m.
Out of a courtesy to other teams — the decision to hold diving in Waconia is technically Watertown-Mayer's call — head coach Chuck Charnstrom let visiting boys' teams decide this year if they wanted to compete in Waconia, or hold meets that did not include diving.
Every visiting boys' team chose not to dive this year, although that could have been in part to give their teams a competitive edge. The Royals feature one of the state's best divers.
Once diving is eliminated, the Royals' opponent will win all 13 points in diving, one of the major reasons parents were so opposed to the decision.However, school board chairman McCain said logistical issues were just too much to overcome.
"The fact that not one boys' team that came to our home meets chose to dive says a lot about the difficulties that we have with logistics for our program," McCain said. "I am concerned with transportation, where our divers have to swim also, and they have to go back and forth without district provided transportation during the afternoons."
McCain was referring to head coach Chuck Charnstrom's requirement that all divers on his team also swim in at least one event. This past year, that meant divers often had to spend the first portion of their practice in one city, and then get out of the pool and head to another city. However, Charnstrom, who was in attendance at the meeting, noted that if the school board's decision was contingent on that policy, he would change it.
Many parents in attendance at the meeting last week, and at previous meetings, also questioned how the transportation of athletes to an off-site practice for diving was any different than the team's golfers, which practice at Timber Creek Golf Course, or its hockey players, which practice in Mound as part of a co-op with Mound-Westonka. Athletes in both sports arrange their own transportation to practices.
However, the board has said at previous meetings, and continued to maintain last week, that it sees a difference between starting and ending a practice in one off-site location, and moving from one city to another in the middle of practice.
Another parent also indicated there was more than $6,000 in the Delano Booster Club's swimming account — Watertown-Mayer coops with Delano for both boys' and girls' swimming, as well as Waconia and Holy Family on the boys' side — that could be used however the program wanted. That information seemed to have little impact on the board's decision.
"Money is not the biggest factor in this case, but it's always a factor to some extent," McCain said. "While I appreciate the willingness to help fund the program, the district can't base its budgeting on the hope and the promise that that can continue for a long time into the future."

OCEANSIDE -- A quickly organized meeting to discuss an 11th-hour solution to the lack of homeless shelters in North County yielded a low turnout and disappointing results Wednesday.
Oceanside resident and businesswoman Jennifer Orrock said she scheduled the meeting in a City Hall community room to "brainstorm" new options after the City Council decided Tuesday not to help homeless advocates trying to open a 90-day, 100-bed shelter proposed for Mission San Luis Rey.
About eight people attended, including one Oceanside City Council member, Jack Feller, and two mission representatives. The Oceanside Boys & Girls Club, the city's Beach Community Center and even City Hall were briefly suggested as possible shelter locations, though most of the discussion centered on the mission.
The Franciscan friars at the mission remain willing to allow the shelter on their parking lot if the city will allow it, mission administrator Ed Gabarra said. No other location on the mission grounds appears to be suitable, he said. Other areas are too close to nearby residents, unpaved and low-lying, or lack the needed security.
Chris Megison of North County Solutions for Change had offered to manage a shelter at the mission using money donated by various coastal North County cities, the county and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Megison runs a 55-bed, year-round family shelter in Vista.
Perhaps city officials would be more agreeable if he sought a smaller winter shelter for families only, instead of one for the general homeless population, Megison said at the meeting Wednesday.
On Tuesday, council members rejected the mission's offer after realizing the city would have to shoulder a large portion of the cost. Dozens of nearby residents contacted the council before its meeting to say they thought it would be unsafe to open a homeless shelter so close to their homes. The council also rejected a proposal Tuesday to seek an industrial building for the shelter.
Feller said at Wednesday's meeting that the council will discuss the issue again Jan. 9, when it is likely to contribute to a county program that provides the homeless with vouchers that they can use for motel rooms.
Megison said the voucher program is a poor substitute to a managed shelter, where people are screened for drugs and alcohol, and services such as counseling and job referrals are available.
"You have to have the services and management to go with it, or you're just pushing the problem under the rug," Megison said.
Megison has estimated that as many as 700 people, primarily from Oceanside, Vista, Carlsbad and Encinitas, need emergency shelter this winter.
The nearest winter shelter is in Escondido this year, he said. The Vista City Council voted not to open its winter shelter this year, after hosting it the previous nine years.

It took her a little while to find that seedy, trashy animal magnetism she exudes so well, but when she did, pop singer Ke$ha was money in the bank.
Headlining the Wham Bam staged by a local radio station Sunday night at Toronto's Molson Canadian Amphitheatre, the musician brought her Get Sleazy world tour to a sizable but far from sold-out audience, primarily young and female. Yet the opening was a bit tame for Ke$ha which at best was a tad awkward.
Surrounded by keyboards on the second tier of a stage setup which looked like it had been welded together at the last minute, the performer began with Sleazy but not really making a connection. Once she came down from that perch for Take It Off that stiffness slowly melted away.
Desiring to see everyone on their "worst behavior" for the show, Ke$ha finally loosened up on Blow which had her and some supporting dancers shooting glitter-like confetti into the crowd. And after looking anything but a guitarist on F--- Him He's A DJ, she strapped on a guitar resembling a machine gun for Blah Blah Blah that included a give and take of, well, "blah."
Having reportedly written songs for Britney Spears – who was closing out her two-night stand just down the road at Air Canada Centre – Ke$ha has tapped into catchy, party-fuelled pop as evidenced by singles like We R Who We R and Your Love Is My Drug, both having the desired fun effect with the dancing crowd. But she can also slow things down as on The Harold Song that garnered a solid response.
Occasionally writhing around the stage, banging a drum and swigging some Budweiser, Ke$ha one-upped herself with some theatrics. She apparently graduated from Gene Simmons' Academy of Gore during Cannibal, gnawing on (hopefully) fake body organs as crimson oozed down her chin.
Meanwhile the highlight might have been on Grow A Pear. Getting a 17-year-old fan named Josh from the audience, Ke$ha taped him to a chair as she danced around him. However he wasn't too lucky as somebody dressed like a penis ran onstage and proceeded to hit the youngster in the face. "Welcome to puberty," she said to the teen.
Stating it was "f------ epic" to headline the venue after playing a handful of tunes as a support act previously, Ke$ha closed the main set with Tik Tok that put a nice exclamation point on the show.
Earlier, buzz act LMFAO played one of the more memorable, energized support sets in years. With plenty of backup dancers, foam fingers and a giant inflatable zebra that fans kept up in the air like a beach ball, the band embodied fun and showmanship on Shots and Champagne Showers as a few bottles of bubbly were uncorked and sprayed onto fans.
The group – fronted by singers/DJs Redfoo and SkyBlu – almost stole the show with their signature Party Rock Anthem which had everyone shuffling on stage. Other highlights included Take It To The Hole and Sorry For Party Rocking.

8 Home Remedies To Treat Cavities Naturally
Caries is caused by the way one takes care of their oral hygiene, the food consumed, and the amount of fluoride present in the daily life. Both children and adults can be affected by the issue.
If you care for the health of your teeth and do not have enough money for the expensive treatments, then you should definitely try home remedies which will help you get rid of this issue in a natural way.
-Salt and lemon – Mix half a teaspoon of salt with a little lemon juice. This mixture should be used to make a type of massage on your gums. The massage should last for a few minutes. When you finish you should make a gargle preferably with warm water.
-Licorice – it is an antibacterial agent which can help you keep your teeth healthy. Use licorice powder to brush your teeth in order to get the wanted results.
-Garlic oil – For this treatment you should rub the garlic oil over the affected tooth to achieve the sensation of pain relief. Another possibility is to get into the habit of ingesting raw garlic, but we know that however much it helps to make your mouth healthier is not exactly pleasant.
-Indian gooseberry (Amla) – it is loaded in vitamin C and it can help you fight infections and the formation of cavities. Eat it on daily basis or make a tea by using ½ tsp of the herb and mix it with ½ glass of water.
-Moscow nut – nutmeg extract can improve the symptoms of cavities. Grate it and then mix it with some clove oil. Apply it on your teeth, doing it each day until the pain goes away.
-Clove – chew a clove in order to treat cavities. Once you chew it, the oils from the inside will be released. Keep the oil under your tongue in order to ensure the effectiveness.
-Sesame oil – the oil will help you fight the issue with teeth decay. Take 1 tbsp. of it and let it stay for 20 minutes, without swallowing or gargling it. Spread the same amount around the affected area.
-Saffron powder – apply some of the powder in the region that hurts, i.e. the affected teeth. Let it stay for a few minutes and then rinse it off with warm water.

Visual Graphic Artist Kevin Burg saw the potential of the .gif format way back in 2009 but didn't fully realise the full potential until he ventured to New York Fashion Week with photographer Jamie Beck. From this partnership came the cinemagraph; a subtle but almost magical manipulation of imagery using isolated animation and multiple frames to create a small moment of movement within a seemingly still photograph.

Apple of My Eye: Bubblegum Machines - Anytime, Anywhere!2014-03-17 3 Share Tweet
I can hardly breeze by a bubblegum machine without capturing it on film! That is, unless I've already taken plenty of photos of a particular one. In that case, I can do a better job at resisting.
I can't really describe where my infatuation stems from. The memories of my childhood, perhaps? I actually find it interesting that the dispensers remain intact despite the condition they're in! I mourn the loss of every bubblegum machine that is taken down. Someday I would love to buy one myself and hang it in my apartment. But up to this point, only the pictures of them have made it to my walls.
Here is a collection of my bubblegum dispenser photos:
Once again I did a double exposure project with Aileen, who you can find here as farbanomlie. Each of us took pictures of bubblegum dispensers – she from Cologne and me from Landshut. What resulted was simply superb.
I was so intrigued by the machines that I got a tattoo of one with diamonds coming out. Think what you want, but I still think the tattoo is awesome!
Luckily, there are still a load of bubblegum dispensers where I'm from. I've considered, trying to photograph every single one for a project. Unfortunately I haven't accomplished that yet, but hopefully I can hack it this year. I have so many ideas! If and when I do do it, I'll be photographing them all in analogue, in accordance to the time when the dispensers were made.
If you want to, go ahead and show me your favorite bubblegum machines below in the comments!

We have established the feasibility and effectiveness of robot-aided rehabilitation in stroke patients using a robot for neurological rehabilitation designed and built by MIT. Results of a pilot study of 20 patients were promising and showed that robot therapy is safe, tolerated by patients and produces a significant, measurable benefit. We propose to test that the robotic upper extremity trainer is an acceptable cost effective adjunct to standard occupational therapy for patients with dysfunction of the shoulder and elbow due to hemiparetic stroke in a VA rehabilitation program.

Update: Phantom Rouge opens with ¥457 million ($5 million) on 257 screens. That's an outstanding opening – well below One Piece, of course, but trouncing the likes of Bleach and Naruto theatrical releases. It definitely beats projections, and provides a real boost for the H x H franchise. Not that we'll get any H x H product in the Jump Shop, mind you.
This much is clear – Hisoka is even more of a creeper when he's twelve feet tall and staring down at you.
It's been a huge week for Hunter x Hunter – and a huge day for Madhouse and Han Megumi, who had the Phantom Rouge and Chihayafuru premières within a few hours of each other. That Han-san can play both Gon and Sumire is an amazing thing. In fact, the giant Tatsuya bookshop across the street from the theatre had a big endcap that was half H x H, half Chihayafuru. Talk about one-stop shopping.
In addition to the movie premiere today, I finally found some H x H swag (and my attire for the premiere) at Tokyo Station's Character Street – though heaven forbid it should have been at the Shounen Jump Shop, where they can't afford to give up ONE FUCKING INCH of the One Piece and KuroBas shelf space. No, it was at the NTV Shop, where they had a few H x H T-shatsu, as well as notebooks and the like. 7-11 is also doing a major cross-promotion with the movie (that's where I got my ticket) with a product line that includes this Jell-O cup (I had no interest in the Jell-o, but I liked the ceramic mug), a Kurapika "muffler towel", various food products and even Texture Surprise and Bungee Gum.
All the screenings at Shibuya Toho Cinemas sold out by this morning, which I was certainly pleased to see (as I already had a ticket). I certainly hope the movie does well – it's not going to do One Piece or Eva numbers, obviously, but it seems H x H has a big fan base among many age groups (I didn't see anyone who looked less than early 20s at my screening tonight). They were handing out free copies of "Volume 0", the special edition manga with Togashi's Phantom Rouge prequel story.
On to the film itself. I'm very reluctant to try and do a detailed review of a movie I watched raw, so I'll just give some highlights. Having read the prequel chapters definitely helped, and I'm able to follow enough of the language now to have a general idea – but there are certain elements I'm not sure of, even so. This review, such as it is, is not spoiler-free. In fact, it's full of major spoilers because the major stuff is all I'm really sure of. So if you'd rather go in fresh when you see the movie, please stop reading here!
- Kurapika loses his eyes (sort of)
- Gon gets a girlfriend (sort of)
- Killua gets jealous of the girlfriend (sort of, but pretty obviously)
- Leorio uses Nen (sort of)
- Gon and Killa get their butts saved by both Nobunaga and Hisoka (not sort of at all)
- Killua has a final battle with Illumi (not really)
- Hisoka and Chrollo fight (not really)
Generally speaking, I thought the film was very strong. Because of the pacing – basically 4 episodes rather than Togashi's usual 20-episode arcs – some of the details are lost, inevitably. But in general it's exciting, energetic, dark and very much in-character. It looks great too.
The basic premise surrounds a man named Omokage (Fujiki Naohito), who's a sort of puppet master – he has the ability to make perfect copies of anyone (including dead people, crucially) including their Nen abilities. Where it gets a bit dodgy is the timeline, since this is a story that's not in the manga's canon. Omokage appears to be Spider #4 – he certainly has the tattoo, and the rest certainly know him – which might place this before York Shin, at the time Hisoka takes over the #4 spot himself. But it's very clear that Uvogin is dead (though he appears as one of Omokage's puppets), which would place it after York Shin. I'm guessing this is probably a language issue and I would know the answer if I'd seen it subbed, but I'm honestly not sure.
There are two other major new characters. First is Pairo (Kawashima Umika), the Kurta boy from the manga prequel. His story is one of the saddest in the Hunter x Hunter annals (as you know if you read it) and he's involved in some of the movie's best scenes. The other new character is Retzu (Hirano Aya) who seems to be Omokage's sister – though Gon doesn't know this when he befriends her. The dynamic between Gon, Killua and Retzu is very interesting – it's really the first time we've seen them interact with a girl their own age.
To be honest I was expecting the movie to be extremely Kurapika-centric, based on the trailer and the promo art. But while his story is certainly the catalyst, it's very much Gon and Killua who are the main characters. In fact it's actually Killua who has the most and longest dramatic scenes, and his psychological trauma surrounding Illumi is at least as important thematically as Kurapika's tragic back-story. Gon and Killua's friendship is at the center of the film, just as it is for most of the TV arcs – in a way, you could look at this as stylistically a cross between York Shin and the Hunter Exam. We also see the Phantom Troupe in a somewhat different light than we're used to – at the very least, they fulfill a different role than they do in the anime canon. That's most especially true of Nobunaga – it's more clear than ever that he's the most "sympathetic" of all the Spiders, and that he has a liking for Gon and Killua just as Hisoka does. As for Hisoka, his awesomeness really needs to be seen – I couldn't really do it justice with mere words. He's not a friend, he's not an enemy – he's a Hisoka, and there's no one like him. And he sure isn't someone you'd want to piss off.
As for the big announcement that was promised after the credits, we got good news – though I suspect many were hoping it would be different news. It wasn't an announcement of the manga re-starting, but rather of a second Hunter X Hunter film. The only character who appears in the very brief scene is Netero (looking rather smug, in fact) and there are no details beyond that. Is Togashi writing it? Is it based on another "lost" manga story? At this point your guess is as good as mine. Meanwhile we wait for Togashi-sensei to restart the manga – which I hope he does soon, as the anime will be at risk of catching up otherwise. But I guess anything less than a year doesn't really count as a hiatus when it's Togashi-sensei.
