Well, this is interesting … The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Timothy J. Sexton, best known for his Children of Men screenplay, has been brought on board by United Artists to pen the English-language remake of Timecrimes.
Guess I spoke too soon about the lack of remake news today, eh?
For those unaware, Timecrimes is a Spanish brain twister about a man who travels back in time a very short distance to try and stop something bad from happening, and just how many things go wrong in the process.
Thankfully Magnolia has the rights to distribute the original here in the States so if the remake doesn't go well, at least we'll be able to see what should've been. I'll be seeing Timecrimes in the next week or two so look for a review soon!
Don't be too shocked by the Children of Men penner working on a remake; he's also one of the writers on the long-rumored Logan's Run redux.
Screw up both space and time in the Dread Central forums!

Yorgen named C-USA Hitter-of-the-week
Posted March 31, 2014
Greenville, N.C. — East Carolina freshman Charlie Yorgen has been named Conference USA's Hitter-of-the-Week after helping the Pirates to a perfect 4-0 week, the league office announced Monday afternoon.
Yorgen batted a team-best .538 (7-for-13) among ECU's starters during its perfect week, which extended its winning streak to seven-straight games. He led the team with a .692 slugging and .625 on-base percentage, while sharing the team lead in hits (7) and RBI (5).
The Richmond, Va. native collected at least one hit in all four games and also drove in one run in three of four contests, including a career-high three in game one of the UMBC doubleheader Friday afternoon. Yorgen also added three walks and did not strike out on the week. He capped off his stellar week collecting his first career game-winning RBI with a run-scoring triple in the eighth inning Sunday afternoon to lift ECU to a non-conference series sweep.
Yorgen is the second Pirate to earn C-USA weekly honors following Jeff Hoffman's honor on March 3. He and the Pirates will be back in action this week when they travel to instate rival NC State (April 2) and Rice (April 4-6).

COPPERAS COVE — U.S. Congressman Roger Williams, R-Austin, spoke about fixing the economy and extended congressional help to the city for economic development during a Rotary club meeting Thursday.
"I am a small-business guy," Williams said, introducing himself to local rotary members. "I am unique in Washington, (D.C.), in the fact that I still own my business."
Williams said the United States needs to continue to create jobs and work for businessmen and women, which is one of the reasons he ran for office in November.
"All I am at the end of the day is a humble job creator," Williams said. "I think (job creation) is going to be the answer to these (government shortfalls) this time."
Williams was visiting the Copperas Cove Rotary during a tour of the district, which spans from Travis to Tarrant counties and includes Lampasas and Coryell counties. But he stayed to listen to Economic Development Corporation Executive Director Polo Enriquez speak about Cove's economic climate.
"I think we have made great strides," Enriquez said.
There has been some criticism of only bringing entry-level jobs for people with projects like the Five Hills shopping center, Enriquez said. People, however, need to realize the opportunities those jobs present. They teach the foundation of hard work for the youth who can provide for better paying jobs as they move forward.
"The beauty of that is they are going to learn how to work and learn what it feels like to cash that paycheck," Enriquez said. "These entry-level jobs are (where) we start."
Much like the youthful workforce, the corporation's job is not finished. Enriquez said Cove EDC is working with site selectors and marketing several properties that are about to start construction.
Two of those properties include the Narrows, a 72-acre technology and business park, and the Industrial Foundation's property, a 23-acre professional and business park.
Those sites will hopefully bring higher paying businesses, but will have an added bonus, Enriquez said. Because both properties will be paid for without debt, the EDC and the Industrial Foundation can take their time filling the properties.
Williams said economic development is everything to help a community thrive. "If I can help you from a congressional stand point, please reach out," he said.

I AM A LAZY PHOTOGRAPHER. There, I said it. I don't like to get up before sunrise, or wait for hours to capture the right moment. I don't want to keep buying more expensive gear all the time. And I don't want photography to be complicated, exclusive and for professionals only. I just want to make beautiful photographs that make me - and others - feel good. That's called 'emotive photography'. I do popular, everyday photography and I write about it, share it and hopefully inspire. On the photography spectrum there is 'landscape photography' on one side and 'Street photography' on the other. These are two completely opposite types of photography. 'Popular & everyday' photography includes both and everything in between. With this website as a platform to exchange ideas, my aim is to share tips and techniques to help you take great photos everyday and anywhere you may be in the world. There is no good or bad location! Your eyes and wonderful brain can help you see the best sides of where you are. Throughout the articles, this blog answers the ultimate question:
I LOVE CITIES. I have a passion for them. They have everything a photographer can dream of - parks and forests, zoos, buildings, people, water (ponds, sea, canals, fountains), sunsets, sunrises, dramatic lights and shadows. Cities can be sunny and vibrant, or dark and upset. There is mood in a city, inspiring and daunting, modern and historic. In cities I can still photograph landscapes, seascapes, architecture, street life, still life, food, animals and flowers, textures, details, black & white or vibrant colours. There's everything in a city. You just have to see it!
I grew up in Marseille in the south of France, then moved to London when I was 22 to learn English. After 8 months I moved back to France and lived in Paris for two and a half years. Although I loved Paris, I missed the lights and buzz of London where I moved back again. After another year and a half I was fortunate to stay in New York City for three months - an amazing experience. After NYC I found London very different so I moved to Brighton, a coastal and lively small city an hour south of London, famous for its Pavilion, Pier and open-minded attitude. Until I moved to Copenhagen in September 2013...

Love, angel, music . . . and another baby! Us Weekly confirmed on Wednesday Sept. 4 that Gwen Stefani is pregnant with her third child -- and, hours before, the singer and designer, 43, stepped out in Los Angeles with a look that stylishly concealed up any pregnancy curves.
The No Doubt frontwoman chose a super-baggy ensemble running errands: A draped, off-the shoulder top that billowed past her waist, and khaki, harem-style drop-crotch pants. Wearing retro-frame sunglasses, with her blonde hair in dramatic waves, Stefani hasn't sacrificed high-heels just yet, and strutted along in strappy stiletto sandals.
The baby-to-be will join big brothers Kingston, 7, and Zuma, 5, Stefani's boys with husband of 11 years Gavin Rossdale. Bush rocker Rossdale, 47, also has a daughter, 24-year-old model Daisy Lowe, from a previous relationship.
This third pregnancy is " very new and they just found out," the insider told Us. "They're excited!"

Progressive Enhancement (PE) is an approach for building Web Applications that starts from the perspective that a user browser experience will support a minimum functionality, this is called base line, but has hooks to allow functional enhancements when a browser can support them. PE benefits users by supporting older browsers, but also supporting users with modern browsers and technologies by providing them an improved experience.
The progressive enhancement and its counterpart, Graceful Degradation, are approaches that can help rich Web Applications support more browsers and have a wider reach.
Disclaimer: We are writing this documentation as part of the new Web Client Guidance that is being done in patterns & practices. We are close to finishing this project, so I would like to get more feedback or validation from everyone that gets the chance to read this before we release. Have in mind that the content of this topic can change both in content and in form (it can change because of YOUR feedback).
Progressive Enhancement vs. Graceful Degradation
Graceful degradation is the practice of building an application for modern browsers while ensuring it remains functional in older browsers and other user agents (for example, accessibility tooling and mobile devices).
It is strongly recommended to use progressive enhancement, when designing something from scratch. Graceful degradation can be tedious, difficult and requires more work to implement.
However, if you are maintaining an existing site, the easiest choice is to provide graceful degradation, unless you want to rewrite the whole site.
It is also possible to combine both approaches in the application. Even some features may end up being the same, independent of the approach used.
Note: For more information about both concepts, see Progressive Enhancements and Graceful Degradation: Making a Choice.
Core Principles
- Progressive Enhancement consists of the following core principles:
- The basic content should be accessible to all browsers
- The basic functionality should be accessible to all browsers
- Semantic markup contains all content
- Enhanced layout is provided by externally linked CSS
- Enhanced behavior is provided by unobtrusive, externally linked JavaScript
- End user browser preferences are respected
There are several scenarios to consider for using these patterns:
- Different browsers that:
- implement JavaScript and DOM features differently
- implement CSS differently
- The need for SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
The following are some advantages and disadvantages of creating applications without JavaScript.
- It is SEO friendly (as search engine spiders do not use JavaScript)
- Easier to create an accessible site as a side effect without too much effort
- Possibility to open links in new tabs and bookmark it (for example if you use the middle mouse, it will open the link in href instead of executing the JavaScript defined for the click event).
- There is usually a need to create a server-side version of a view, and a separate client version of the same view or portions of it.
The developer has to be aware of the scripted and non-scripted features of the application, instead of just assuming that JavaScript will always be present.
Different Browsers that Implement CSS Differently
CSS differences between browsers, though it is generally good to account for, it is usually not a big problem if bypassed. The reason is that having CSS that do not work in all browsers might cause some browsers to render the page with some inconsistencies in sizes, placement, overlapping of sections, but this will generally not prevent the user from interacting with the site entirely.
The following are some tips for dealing with these CSS inconsistencies:
- Use a CSS reset, which improve a lot of the cross-browser inconsistencies in size, placement, and overlapping issues.
- Develop the site with standards in mind (consider targeting XHTML 1.0 Transitional here), which almost always works in IE8, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, and usually Opera.
- If the standards targeted HTML/CSS has IE6/7 issues, fix those issues by including CSS "hacks†in separate stylesheets referenced through conditional comments.
It is up to the business to decide the ROI for creating a site that looks identical across all the browsers. Because not supporting all versions of CSS implementations will not prevent users from interacting with your site, you could typically decide to support the CSS features in the browsers with the largest market shares, while ignoring older browsers.
How to Achieve Progressive Enhancement
To implement PE you should begin with the basic version, and then add enhancements for those browsers that can handle them.
First, you should start developing your application in plain HTML. Plain HTML is understood by all browsers. Furthermore, search spiders will be able to access and index your site content.
This also means that all anchors and forms must have a working target URL for navigating or posting data without the need for JavaScript.
Then, add styles using CSS in an external file to improve the look and feel of the site. Almost all browsers support CSS, and those which do not support it, will simply ignore the styling.
Unobtrusive JavaScript separates content from behavior. This means you should avoid having inline JavaScript as in the following example.
<form id="profile" action="http://mySite.com/SaveProfile">
<input type="text" name="age" />
<input type="submit" value="Save" onclick="SaveProfileWithAjax();" />
This is because the purpose of markup is to describe a document's structure, not its programmatic behavior.
The unobtrusive solution is to register the necessary event handlers programmatically, rather than inline. This is commonly achieved by assigning a particular CSS selector to all elements which are affected by the script, to reduce the amount of script code. The JavaScript code should reside in a separate file. In the following code the id attribute is used for identifying a form:
<form id="profile" action="http://mySite.com/SaveProfile">
<input type="text" name="age" />
<input type="submit" value="Save" />
It is recommended that you use libraries that provide an abstraction of the DOM. The jQuery and ASP.NET Ajax libraries do a good job at this.
The following jQuery script binds the submit event of the form with id="profile", to the SaveProfileWithAjax function:
Note: jQuery simplifies this, by providing a CSS-like selector, instead of just getting the elements by ID.
JavaScript using jQuery
$(document).ready(function(){ //Wait for the page to load.
$('form#profile').bind('submit', SaveProfileWithAjax);
function SaveProfileWithAjax(event){
event.preventDefault(); // this will prevent the browser for submitting the form in the default way, as we will handle the post programmatically using AJAX
// Post the data using an AJAX call
Note: The event.preventDefault JavaScript method cancels the event if it is cancelable, meaning any default action normally taken by the implementation as a result of the event will not occur.
The following code shows the implementation in ASP.NET Ajax Library.
JavaScript using ASP.NET Ajax Library
Sys.Application.add_init(function() {
$addHandler($get('#profile'), 'submit', SaveProfileWithAjax);
function SaveProfileWithAjax(event){
// Post the data using an AJAX call
Note: To attach events, modern browsers use the addEventListener function specified in the DOM Level 2 (Events) specification, while Internet Explorer will use its proprietary attachEvent function. For this reason, if you want to achieve cross-browser compatibility in a simple manner, you should always attach events using a library like jQuery or ASP.NET Ajax Library, which automatically deals with these compatibility issues.
Tips for Achieving Progressive Enhancement in ASP.NET MVC
Consider the following tips when implementing the progressive enhancement pattern in ASP.NET MVC.
First, build an HTML feature that works without JavaScript. For example, the song rating functionally of the Reference Implementation, which was created using radio buttons.
The following rules are applied to every web application (not just ASP.NET MVC ones) to achieve PE.
- Use semantic markup to render the basic content.
- Use CSS to enhance the layout.
- Anchors should always have the href attribute set to return a working view from a controller.
- Forms should always have the action attribute set to post the data to a working action in a controller, based on the input elements in the form. Consider rendering hidden inputs for preset values that the users don't need to update or see.
Once the basic functionality works without JavaScript, consider the following:
- Enhance the experience using Unobtrusive JavaScript. This typically includes:
- Adding client-side validation to acquire immediate feedback without requiring a full post.
- Converting full page POST/GET requests into AJAX calls that update portions of the page.
- Adding animations / eye candy features.
- When converting a full page request into an AJAX call, hijack and prevent the default action of the anchor link or form submit, and replace it with the AJAX call. You typically do this by calling the preventDefault method of the arguments object received when handling the click/submit event using JavaScript.
- Avoid having different URLs for accomplishing the same business result for these cases. You can add branching code in your controller that checks the Request's headers to see if it is an AJAX call as opposed to a typical GET or POST call, and return a different result in this case.
- Typical approaches include returning partial HTML markup to be inserted without processing into the DOM, or data represented in JSON that requires some processing in the browser to display it.
- ASP.NET MVC provides a standard way of checking if the request was initiated using XmlHttpRequest by calling the Request.IsAjaxRequest() extension method
Note: If you use ASP.NET WebForms instead of ASP.NET MVC, you might need to create different endpoints, such as Web Services, ASP.NET Page Methods, or even expose MVC controllers for these actions, as there is no easy way of reusing the same endpoint, because a URL maps to a physical ASPX file.
- In the cases where you return JSON, you might need to use JavaScript to directly manipulate the DOM, or when possible, have a template view that renders data that was retrieved in JSON format. Having templates can help you better separate UI logic from the model in the JavaScript code. The ASP.NET Ajax Library has a very good templating engine that allows you to bind to a ViewModel in a somewhat similar way as WPF & Silverlight. For more information, see Isolating the Domain Model from the Presentation Layer (this is in the Web Client Guidance documentation).

One Comment
In the "Core Principles" section, "Progressive Enhancement consists of the following core principles:" should be an introductory text and not a bullet.
In the "Browsers with JS off" section, there seem to be too many advantages and just one disadvantage. It makes it seem simple to implement (or just something that provides a high ROI). Is it like that?
That's as far as I got.

Qunu - Members of the Mandela family and elders sang at the gravesite in Qunu ahead of the reburial of former president Nelson Mandela's three children on Thursday.
Mandela's eldest daughter Makaziwe Mandela and Mandela's grandson Ndaba Mandela were present. The group of about 30 people sang hymns while sheltering from the rain under umbrellas.
The ceremony took place in a field within the boundaries of Mandela's Qunu home. Dozens of journalists stood on cars and bakkies parked behind a fence a short distance away and watched.
Earlier, the remains were positively identified as those of Mandela's children - his eldest son Madiba Thembekile, who died in a car accident in 1969; grandson Mandla Mandela's father Makgatho Mandela, who died in 2005; and Mandela's first daughter Makaziwe Mandela, who died as an infant in 1948. They were identified through forensic testing.
Mandla Mandela had the bodies exhumed and moved to his village of Mvezo in 2011. He claimed that Mvezo, where he was building a multi-million-rand hotel, was the birthplace of the Mandelas and held historic significance.
A resident of the area took him to court last year for digging up graves, but that case had yet to be heard.
The Eastern Cape High Court on Wednesday granted members of the Mandela family, led by Makaziwe Mandela, an order compelling Mandla Mandela to return the remains to Qunu. He challenged the ruling, but lost.
Mandla Mandela was not at the gravesite on Thursday. - Sapa

Night of Screams
The First Book of the Mabus Chronicles
Authored by Mr. Ronald N Goulden
In the early years of the twenty-first century, a vile evil ascended the throne of the American Republic. He came from obscurity, shrouded in mystery and misdirection. Like the serpent, he promised all things to all people. He always said what people wanted to hear. His open disdain for America, the Constitution, and its governing principles went unnoticed by the mainstream media, which quickly became his Ministry of Propaganda.
This man, Mabus, ascended the American throne, not by rightful election of the populace, but by enormous propaganda efforts and fraudulent voting practices, funded by his foreign masters who counted among their numbers dictators, terrorists, and rabid socialists bent upon the destruction of America.
After his rise to power, he fired the military and law enforcement officials, replacing them with his own Civilian Defense Corps, filling its ranks from the slums, ghettos, and barrios; finding angry young men and women and giving them a purpose, authority, and a weapon. Mabus also pulled heavily from the ranks of unscrupulous union thugs and questionable community organizing groups. Backed by his Corps of 'Purple Berets' and willing United Nations invaders, Mabus began tightening his iron grip on the American people.
Mike Robinson, an Army veteran, tried to remain neutral; hoping that the legitimate political processes would solve the Mabus problem and restore sanity to America. However, when Mabus ordered the wholesale incarceration of loyal Americans by purple berets and UN soldiers, hopes for neutrality vanished.
Escaping from a brutal concentration camp, Mike joins forces with other Americans trying to restore their country to its erstwhile greatness. With the military in exile, the small band of loyalists wage a relentless war against the domestic enemies of America and its Constitution.

Teri Hatcher received an apology Wednesday from Britain's top-selling tabloid, the Sun, for a story it published last August that claimed she had sex with men in a van outside of her California home.
The Sun now admits the article was "totally incorrect" and regrets "the embarrassment caused" to the Desperate Housewives star, reports the Associated Press.
Hatcher's London-based legal firm, Schillings, said the Sun had agreed to pay undisclosed damages as well as Hatcher's court costs. It also said the celebrity magazine Heat agreed to apologize for printing the same allegations in August.
Last December, Hatcher accepted undisclosed but "very substantial damages" for libel from another tabloid, The Daily Sport, after it had made the same claims. The Daily Sport also ran a front-page apology and covered her court costs.
At the time the publications ran the allegations, Hatcher issued a statement saying she had "tolerated many ridiculous and fabricated lies and gossip in the tabloids," shrugging it off as something that "just comes with the territory of fame. But when a story appeared about me, insinuating that I am an irresponsible and neglectful parent, I had to draw the line."
Not that the Sun has ceased writing about Hatcher. In its Wednesday online edition, it quotes hunky Match Point leading man Jonathan Rhys Meyers, 28, as saying he'd like Hatcher, 41, to play Mrs. Robinson to his Benjamin Braddock. "She's an older woman who I imagine could teach me a few things," the tabloid, again quoting Heat, claims the Irish actor said.

The seven countries with the most qualifying points from the world championships in 2012 and 2013 will gain automatic entry to the Olympics in Sochi.
The eighth place will be taken by host country Russia. New Zealand has a chance of gaining one of the final two spots at a new Olympic qualification event run by the World Curling Federation in December 2013.
De Boer has been disappointed by the performance of the New Zealand team in Naseby.
"We have not played well," he said.
"We lack match practice. We don't get enough domestic games against high-quality opposition and it takes time to get into that groove.
"We tried hard to do well but we play our best when we are nice and relaxed."
De Boer is the only member of the New Zealand team that played in the Asia and Pacific championships who can take selection for next year's team for granted.
Former internationals Hans Frauenlob, Dan Mustapic and Lorne De Pape must be considered. They were in the seniors team that beat the Asia and Pacific team at the New Zealand open championships in July.
Frauenlob, in particular, has had an outstanding year on the domestic scene. He also skipped the winning four that defended the senior men's title and won the mixed doubles title with Natalie Thurlow.
Frauenlob, Mustapic and de Pape were in the New Zealand team at the 2006 Olympics.
De Boer (41), general manager of Executive Recruitment in Wellington, emigrated to New Zealand from Sydney five years ago. He grew up in Fyfe, in Scotland, and worked in Edinburgh before spending two years in Australia.
"Our family got to the stage when we wanted to travel and explore the world so I took a job in Sydney," de Boer said.
He started curling in Scotland at the age of 10 and finished runner-up in the Scottish championships in 2005 and 2006. His father, David, curled, and introduced his son to the game.
De Boer made his mark as skip when New Zealand finished fifth at the world championships in Switzerland last year. He has long held the dream of competing at the Olympics.
"If we'd won the Scottish championships in 2005 there may have been an opportunity to be part of the wider Scottish squad," he said.
He found the standard of play at the world championships a lot harder than he had been used to.
"You don't get away with errors," he said. "The opposition plays at a consistently high level and they punish your errors.
"You have got to make sure you play the simple shots perfectly every time and give yourself a chance of playing the difficult ones as well."

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
What you are hearing is the compressor coming off of the mounts and slamming back down on them. Or the compressor jumping, swinging, or in general not being properly restrained by the rubber mounts.
This can be easily checked and repaired. Just watch the compressor as it stops (unplug it when it is running).
If the compressor is restrained and there is still a loud clunk then something inside the compressor is coming loose and the whole unit must be replaced. This is not very likely as this would cause the compressor to fail in short time.

Indiana State Fair Commission announces restructuring; Hoye to stay
Two new hires Thursday are the latest in a series of changes to make the Indiana State Fair safer after last year's tragic stage collapse that killed seven people.
Weeks ago, Gov. Mitch Daniels promised restructuring at the State Fair Commission. On Thursday, it began with more defined roles from the top down.
To the applause of the State Fair Commission, a Midwest entertainment executive and a city emergency planner are now the faces of safety at the Indiana State Fair.
"You will see some new leadership there and you will absolutely see people with a top priority of safety," said Gov. Daniels in response to the changes.
Jesse Olvera, formerly with City Homeland Security, helped devise a complex emergency plan for Indianapolis. On the job six weeks as the new emergency management officer, he is overseeing training for state fair employees on critical response.
It follows scathing reports by both independent and state labor investigators who found systemic failures by the fair staff the night of the stage collapse.
"Everybody will have a part and everyone will know what their part is. We're moving along. I feel that we're about 90 to 95 percent of where we need to be August 1st," Olvera said, talking about the progress that has already been made.
For the first time, the commission has hired a chief operating officer. David Shaw is a venue manager who has managed crowds of up to 35,000.
Shaw will take on facilities, day to day administration, and the organization's overall safety plan.
"My job one when I start on May 21st is going to be to go to school on the Witt Report," Shaw said, referring to the recommendations from the investigation into safety preparedness.
"What you're hearing is a new tone at the top," said Chairman Andre Lacy, after the introductions.
A new tone, but not a new leader.
"I think this is my 25th year coming up," Cindy Hoye told the Commission.
Cindy Hoye will remain as the executive director, with a narrowed focus.
"Cindy is going to be much more involved in the vision and strategic planning dealing with legal and the foundation," explained Lacy.
Afterwards, she responded to questions about restoring public confidence.
"You've taken a lot of criticism about what happened last August," 13 Investigates said.
"This is what we've talked about from April on. We're using the Witt study, and the IOSHA study and the Thornton Tomasetti study to move us forward," Hoye responded.
We also wanted to ask the new hires about public confidence. Shaw hurried away. Olvera agreed, but was called away.
"Let me run in here real quick," Olvera said politely heeding the call.
Before his exit from the meeting, he made a promise.

"The State Fair this year it's, it's not bubble wrap, but it will be the safest it's ever been and I can guarantee you that," Olvera said.
Former facilities director Dave Hummel will retire in July as part of the restructuring.
Shaw was the Live Nation/clear Channel Entertainment General Manager for Alpine Valley Music Theatre near Milwaukee. He's been charged with getting that safety plan in place before this summer's fair.

Time: November 19, 2011 from 4:30pm to 7pm
Location: River City Market Place
Street: Airport Rd.
City/Town: Jacksonville
Event Type: cruise-in
Organized By: Marvin Shavers
Latest Activity: Nov 17, 2011
At the Veteran's Day parade event, it was brought up that we have not done a cruise-in in quite a while. This is true. For those that have never been, it is a lot of fun watching people look at our cars instead of the old hot rods that are there.
For those of you that live on the airport side of Commonwealth you can meet at the Walmart parking lot on Dunn Ave. at 4:45. People that live on the Orange Park side of Commonwealth can meet at Burger King on Commonwealth and 295 at 4:30. We will cruise to Walmart to pick up the people that are at that parking lot and then head to the River City Marketplace. There are plenty of places to eat in the area and once we are all together we can decide whether we want to eat as a group, or just go for it on an individual basis.
This sounds like a lot of fun. Please post pictures of the event and let us know how we may be able to support this in the future.

The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together; and a little child shall lead them. The cow and the bear shall graze; their young shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. The nursing child shall play over the hole of the cobra, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder's den. They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. Isa. 11:6-9
Dear Lord Jesus, there are many things I love about the Advent season—the songs regaling your birth, the aroma of yuletide foods and spices, the dancing array of Christmas lights aglow in my neighborhood each evening. But I especially love fueling my faith and imagination with the promises God made surrounding your arrival. Every promise he has made finds its "Yes" in you.
Today, as I meditate through Isaiah's prophecy, my longings are ignited for the Day of no more hurting, of any variety. "They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain."
Oh, for the Day when all "tooth and claw" violence gives way to wolves frolicking with lambs; leopards and goats napping together; calves, lions, and young horses strolling through the new heaven and new earth as friends; cows and bears eating together rather than one another; snakes as pets rather than pests. Hasten the world of consummate peace.
But, Lord Jesus, as much as I love the vision of shalom in the animal kingdom, ten thousand times over I long for the day when we, the two-legged image-bearers of the living God, no longer hurt one other in any way. Hasten the world of perfect relationships, Lord…
No more marginalizing or minimizing one another; no more demeaning or dismissing one another; no more vilifying or idolizing one another; no more hating or hurting one another; no more using or abusing one another, no more fights, spite flight in any way, at any time, in any relationship.
Lord Jesus, hasten the Day when we will finally and fully love one another as you love us. Until that Day, keep us groaning and growing in grace. Grant us quick repentances when we love poorly. May the world recognize us as your disciples by the way we love one another. So very Amen we pray, in your powerful and patient name.

Motorhome crashes into house during test drive
Published 10:04 pm, Saturday, June 30, 2012
A test drive of a motorhome took an unexpected turn Friday afternoon when a reported mechanical failure caused the driver to lose control and crash into a Federal Way house, emergency officials said.
The occupants of the house, in the 500 block of Marine Hills, were not home at the time of the accident, and there were no other witnesses to the crash.
The 34-year-old driver freed himself from the wreckage and wandered around the neighborhood with a bloody head wound, looking for help, said Gordon Olson of South King Fire & Rescue.
When emergency personnel arrived at the scene, they discovered that the impact of the crash had severed the natural gas meter at the house, releasing volumes of high-pressure gas into the neighborhood. Nearby homes were evacuated until a Puget Sound Energy crew could secure the leak.
The driver was taken to a local hospital for treatment and evaluation of his head laceration.
Olson said South King Fire & Rescue units were at the scene for nearly six hours. The department's technical rescue team was called in to help a commercial tow truck extricate the motorhome from the house as safely as possible.
Federal Way's building department will follow up with a structural safety survey of the house. The Federal Way Police Department is investigating the crash.

the ak47 id like to get is american made has a milled reciever and a special compensated barrel with chevron ports that directs muzzle jump down. its called the centurion 39. if you were to clamp an ak47 down on a bench and used a nice scop how accurate would it be at 200 yards? And by decent groups I mean 5" groups or less does anyone own an accurate ak type rifle? If so what kind is it?
The AK is meant to shoot minute of man at 150 meters. It will never be a target rifle or the x39 a target round.
I have an AK 47 and it's okay 50 yards...... Any thing else I have to aim then adjust from where that round hits... I have an AK 74 that is more accurate. But as the other poster stated it's more of a rain hell on everyone in the area type of weapon...
I dont think you could get a group like that. Maybe 3-5in at 150 with the gun clamped down. If you want an inexpensive round to shoot at 200 yards get a mosin or something similar in the 80-120$ range and buy good 7.62x54 ammo, and you have a nice accurate cheap rifle for anything.
My grandson, after getting sights adjusted on a new AK47, shot from a prone position & put a 4" ragged hole in the target at 100 yards, shooting it as fast as he could pull the trigger. Being a marine, I guess he figured that was good enough for government work. :)
It's a pretty accurate and powerful pistol.

Honestly, I wouldn't go for another double syllable name. Gigi and Lili is adorable, but they kind of sound like names someone would call their poodles. Just way too cutesy for my taste. However; assuming Gigi is the full name some ideas for her twin could be:
Gigi and Bette
Gigi and Roxie
Gigi and Twila
Gigi and Nola
Gigi and Lula
Gigi and Rosie
Gigi and Josie
Gigi and Veda
Gigi and Lola
Gigi and Margo

Ambehr are not a well-known band. That being said, they probably should be. They play tight folk-influenced melodies; some of their songs actually sound pretty thrashy, while others are more akin to power-metal. There are also some beautiful ballads on this album. The genre might be a little hard to pin down, however it's quite a well-rounded album, all said.
I'd heard a few songs from their earlier albums, I liked them, so I got this album and I'm sure glad I did. This band has definitely come together nicely. The production on this album is excellent. The melodies are well-crafted and everything works well together. The female vocals add a very welcome element, but they are not presented as the focus of the music. Sometimes they are accompanied by clean male vocals; sometimes the male vocals take center stage and occasionally even turn into to harsh vocals.
The instruments are well done too. The guitars rip along and the solos have really nice flavour. In the occasional ballad-like pieces, keys and acoustics round out the sound. The songs can switch from fast to slow abruptly, but without jarring the listener. It flows quite nicely. The melodies of the songs are consistently memorable and appealing, whether the tone is sad, happy, angry, or uplifting, and they tend to have Russian/Armenian (let's just say Eastern European) nuances. It's not blatant injections of folk music; it's more of an underlying character that ties the music together and gives it both spirit and individuality.
I can't really name songs that stood out because they are spelt with a different alphabet, but honestly, pretty much every song on this album is amazing and worth listening to over and over again. That's the sign of a great album. That must mean this is a great album. It's well crafted; the quality of the songs and their production is praiseworthy. Any criticism? Perhaps there was one too many slow song. Track 6 didn't stand out. Great album nonetheless.

AgGateway's Seed Connectivity-II (SC-II) Project deadline for signing a commitment letter has been extended until Jan. 16, 2012.
As of December 15th, the following companies had signed their SC-II Project Commitment Letter:
Ceres Solutions
Crop Data Management Systems (CDMS)
Crop Production Services
Dow AgroSciences
GROWMARK, Inc.
Heartland Cooperative
Key Cooperative
Monsanto Company
River Valley Cooperative
"The SC-II (2nd implementation) Project's purpose is to further streamline the seed supply chain by implementing industry defined business processes, functions and electronically connecting using an industry standard set of messaging tools and web services with additional companies that did not participate or complete the original SC project," AgGateway has explained in all its communications.
The original SC Project was a two‐year project from the summer of 2009 with four seed companies/distributors and four suppliers/manufacturers, which included electronic transmission of ship notifications, invoices and sales reporting transactions. The original SC project established implementation standards and e‐tools for connectivity. The interest in a seed connectivity project began as distributors and manufacturers in a crop protection project wanted the same benefits in other ag sectors.
If other companies plan to participate in SC-II, they have to execute the project commitment letter and return it to Marilyn Hunter by January 16, 2012. Extensive information about this project are available via links below:

Goat Polio
The official name for Goat Polio is "Polioencephalomalacia". It is a nutritional /metabolic disease that affects primarily ruminants, including goats. Metabolic means relating to metabolism, the whole range of biochemical processes that occur within the goat's rumen. In ruminant animals that means processing the food the goat has eaten. This disease has become more prominent in goats in the U.S. that are under intensive management conditions when they are fed more concentrated feed to get them to grow faster.
The main cause of this disease is either a thiamine deficiency or the stopping of the thiamine activity in the rumen. Thiamine, or vitamin B1, is a major part of the rumen processing that occurs with carbohydrates and amino acid in the rumen. Decreased processing activity leads to cell death in the brain and swelling from excessive accumulation of watery fluid in brain cells and tissues. The symptoms originate from the damage to the brain.
The thiamine is produced in sufficient amounts by specific bacteria in the goat's rumen. Any changes in the normal environment in the rumen may lead to reduced production of thiamine in the rumen Normally something else has occurred to upset the goat's processing of its food intake and that causes the Goat Polio to occur.
Signs of Goat Polio
Early signs of depression and diarrhea are also common in enterotoxemia and pregnancy toxemia. If the animal is not close to kidding, you can rule out the pregnancy toxemia. The blindness and/or extensor rigidity are strong symptoms for goat polio instead of enterotoxemia. The extensor rigidity is also a sign of tetanus. If the animal is circling, that is also a sign of listeriosis. The best thing to consider is what lead up to the symptoms and quickly watching for any signs of blindness. Look at the list of what can cause the goat polio and consider if any of them have occurred recently. Also, it will not hurt to treat an animal with tetnus or listeriosis with the treatment for goat polio.
The only effective treatment is thiamine. Thiamine is a prescription only medication and must come from your vet. How well the animal will respond is dependant upon the severity of the disease at the time the animal was treated. The recommended dosage according to the "Goat Medicine" book is 10 mg/kg b.w. repeated every 6 hours for 24 hours. It is recommended that the initial dose be given intravenously and the rest given under the skin or in the muscle.
You need to be careful on the dosage because the thiamine comes in different strengths and the cc's given change according to the bottle you get.
Here is a link to info on understanding how to convert medicine to proper dosage.
Treatment recommended by Coni Ross
Thiamine and Penicillin. I usually give 10cc SQ of Penicillin, and 10cc oral of Penicillin on day one, to kill the bad bacteria. As for the thiamine, I give 1 gram as a first dose: 500mg SQ, and 500mg IM. The SQ takes longer to work but sustains the blood levels longer. On day 2, I restart the rumen with Calf Pac, and continue the Thiamin each day until the goat is well.
(comment by Jack Mauldin --- the concept of Coni's treatment is that something in the rumen is wrong. The penicillin given orally is to kill whatever bacteria is in the rumen to start it over. The killing of the bacteria in the rumen is also killing the good bacteria needed and that is being replaced by the Thiamine and calf pac. The calf pac can be replaced by Probios)
Another recommendation that uses vitamin B1 instead of Thiamine.
The dosage for B1 (thiamine) is 500 mg per 100 weight every six hours, so check any B vit. to make sure you give your goat enough of the B1, and as you say overdosing will not hurt them, they urinate out what they don't need. Usually have to give this amount, every six hours, for a week at least. Sometimes improvement is immediate and sometimes it takes at least a week. Consider keeping Fortified B on hand at all times because vet may not have Thiamine. Fortified B has 100 mg per cc of B1 in it. It can be given orally but the first day but I inject under the skin to make sure they get enough.
Any time the goat's rumen gets upset, goat polio can happen. Consider worming and give penicillin (5cc per 100 lb. weight) just in case it is Listerosis and will give penicillin once a day for five days, give a probiotic (Probios or even a yogurt with live culture) to make the rumen more efficient.

Samba in Debian, smb.conf: smb passwd file = ??????????
I am trying to configure smb.conf. I've read that Samba has its own userdatabase where usernames and encrypted passwords are stored. In smb.conf I should write:
smb passwd file = [path to the database file]
How do I know the path to the samba database file?
I have got a suggestion, but I cannot find the file on my computer on this location:
I do have the file /usr/bin/smbpasswd but I have understood that this is a program file, and not a database file???
Thanks for help!
You can use the 'locate command to find any file or directory. For it to work effectivley, you need to switch to su and run the command 'updatedb' ( without the quotes first. If you have never run updatedb, it may take a few minutes to complete. It will build a data base of all files and directories on your system. Once that completes once, try 'locate smbpasswd' ( no quotes ). If you have the file it will spit back the path to the file very quickly.
My smbpasswd file is located at /etc/samba/smbpasswd.
If at dought about what type of file a file is, use the 'file' command. A simple example is:
file /etc/samba/smbpasswd

The guys that have the big things also tend to have bed edger, aerater etc. that are only used a few weeks a year. So every dollar you spend nets you a lower percent return.

So without boring you with my whole thought process of how I got here, here is my card and how I ended up making it. The type of card is called a View Master card, though I didn't know that's what it was called when I made it. Basically, you have a disk with images on it that is attached in the center to another piece that has a window. As you turn the disk, the image in the window changes. On the other side of the disk, I put a quote from the Nutcracker by E.T.A. Hoffman.
Outside and Inside of the card:
The card in motion:
Materials Used:
- SU Kraft Card Stock
- SU Vanilla Card Stock
- SU "Sens du Temps" stamp
- SU "Bella Toile" background stamp
- SU "To the Nines" DSP
- SU Chocolate Chip Classic Ink Pad
- Gold Encore Ink Pad
- "Mouse King Battle" original artwork by Me
- Holiday sentiment stamp
- Gold mini-brads
- SU Pop-up Glue Dots
- Aileen's craft glue
Tools Used:
- Ink Daubers
- Fiskars Ultra ShapeExpress with circle and oval templates
- EK Success Circle Scissor Plus
- Crop-a-Dile II Big Bite Punch
- Tablet PC
- Injet printer
- Photoshop CS2
- "Starry Night" font by Laura Ashpole
Creating the Artwork
To create the artwork, I first made a mockup of the card so that I would know where the window would be and what part of the disk would be showing through it. Once I made my mockup, I put a pen through the window and kept it there as I moved the disk. I did this for the top and bottom of the window. From that, I determined my measurements:
Then in Photoshop, I created a file with each of the characters I wanted on the disk - each character in their own layer pairs. This was done at a higher resolution than the finished artwork because it's easier to get rid of data than to create data from thin air, should I make the graphic too small.
I copied the file, and in the copy set up the guides for the disk, merged the pairs of character layers, and placed them around the disk. If you do this and are going to use a background color on your disk, make sure the color extends past the dimensions of the disk. This is called "bleed", and it's to ensure that if you don't cut out the artwork in a perfect circle, that there won't be any white crescent-shaped edges where the color didn't reach.
I then created the back of the disk, which has a quote from the book, shaped in a spiral. I printed the front and back disks on to Vanilla Card Stock, cut them out, and daubed the edges with Chocolate Chip ink to hide the white cross-section of the paper. Then I glued the backs and fronts together. The quote says:
- Clock, clocks, whir softly, do not strike.
Mouse King is keen of hearing. Whir whir purr purr
sing him the old song whir whir purr purr,
Ring, bell, ring. Ding dong ding dong.
He won't last long.
- E.T.A. Hoffman "Nutcracker"
- My Philosophy About Digital Artwork
I love drawing and painting on my tablet PC. If I had more time, I could have done a better job and made it look less cartoon-y. There has been some argument as to whether digital art is as "good" or as "real" as traditional mediums. I can tell you, having experience in both, that it is. Like anything, there is a learning curve to get over the technical aspects of computer graphics. But once using the software becomes intuitive, picking up a tablet pen is no different than picking up a stick of charcoal, or a paintbrush.
Creating the Card
I first cut my card stock in half, then scored each piece down the center. Using a plain sheet of paper to mask the left side, I stamped the Bella Toile background stamp with Gold ink. I then cut the oval window out.
I used a dauber to sponge gold ink at the corners of the cards, then cut strips of DSP and glued them to the card
I stamped clock faces on Kraft Card Stock, without including the clock hands, then cut ovals in the top half of the clock. In the story, the battle takes place at midnight, and the hands were permanently fixed at 8:17. Making individual hands would have been a pain - that's how I came up with the oval window idea to take up that space.
With a lightly-inked dauber, I used a sort of flicking motion to color the inside of the ovals. I then used a rubbing motion with the dauber to apply color to the outside edges of the clocks. This will give a nice gradient on the inside - it doesn't matter if color goes past the line because it will get covered in the next step (this only works if your next ink is opaque.)
I stamped an extra clock face and cut right along the outside edge of the circle. This circle was used as a mask. I placed the mask over the real clock, and daubed Gold ink around the edges, making sure to extend past the dimensions of where I will cut the outer circle.
I then cut out the clocks. They are looking pretty good at this point but kind of flat.
To add dimension, I used a dauber with Chocolate Chip ink to "flick" more ink along the edge of the clock.
I used Glue Dots to affix the clock faces to the cards.
I punched a 1/8" hole in the center of the disks and secondhand clock, separately, so I could make sure they were centered. And finally, assembled them with a gold brad.

The Audi Q7 is a full-size luxury SUV produced by the German car manufacturer. This flagship SUV has been a highly sought after vehicle ever since it first launched in the Indian car market a few years ago due to a combination of its performance, luxury, off-road prowess and included gadgetry. However, after being on Indian roads for quite some time now, the Q7 had begun to show its age. Not to be outdone by its rivals, Audi has released a new version of the Q7. Read on to know how good it is.
Unlike the previous generation Q7 which had the option of 3 engines, this new model comes equipped with just one engine. However, this 3.0 litre, turbocharged V6 diesel that delivers a peak power output of 245 bhp is an absolute gem of a motor. The power is routed via an 8 speed automatic transmission and the legendary Audi Quattro system to all four wheels. Whether on-road or off-road, this permanent four wheel drive system distributes power asymmetrically and provides for an immensely enjoyable driving experience and makes the car feel solidly planted on the ground. The adaptive air suspension ensures excellent handling and a high level of comfort.
The suspension can be raised for increased ground clearance off-road or lowered for improved high-speed aerodynamics. In addition to ABS, EBD and Electronic Stability Program (ESP), the Audi Q7 comes with multiple on-road and off-road driving modes, which enable the vehicle to respond much better to the surface being traversed. Despite its size, the Q7 can sprint from rest to 100 kph in 7.1 seconds and hit a top speed of 234 kph.
The straight-edged yet coupe-like silhouette, in combination with the tautly curved surfaces emphasize the athletic and purposeful stance of the new Audi Q7. The new single-frame radiator grille adds a touch of class and robustness to the car. The Matrix LED headlights with LED daytime running lights look fantastic and perform brilliantly when the sun goes down.
The SUV provides the excellent levels of spaciousness, a driver-oriented design and a generous equipment list. The interiors are comfortable thanks to leather-upholstered seats that provide brilliant bolstering. The dashboard has been through an extensive overhaul and looks very well executed. The new Q7 features the latest generation MMI system with touch input, an aircraft throttle style gear selector, voice recognition, a powered tailgate, 4-zone automatic climate control, the Audi Virtual Cockpit and much more.
The Q7 has always been a darling of celebrities and tycoons. With this updated design and improved list of features, Audi has ensured that this SUV will continue to be alluring to anyone who is in the market for a capable, premium SUV.

This post has not been edited by the GamesBeat staff. Opinions by GamesBeat community writers do not necessarily reflect those of the staff.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Kevin Dent is the CEO of Tiswaz Entertainment, COO of P4RC, Inc. and Chairperson for IGDA Mobile SIG. His About.me page lists him as a "Video Game Executive" and "a 14 year veteran from the digital video games space". He is also the Business Development Partner and Strategist for Rekoil, a run-of-the-mill, bare-bones military FPS currently in beta. Kevin was interviewed by Polygon on August 29th, 2012, in regards to getting Rekoil on Steam Greenlight (which still hasn't happened).
Those are some interesting credentials. Enter Kevin Dent's Twitter feed. Some say that I am trying to "attack Kevin Dent", but I am not. I am simply reporting what was said and I will allow you to make of our conversation what you will.
I asked him to put it in writing (i.e. stake the professional reputation of himself and his sources on it by providing proof of these claims) but he ignored my request.
Perhaps Ouya did ask if Rekoil would be interested in porting to the Android-based console due for retail release this June but there's no way to know how that conversation went. There's no way to verify that the only reason "big boy indie" developers are speaking highly of the Ouya is because they're being paid by Ouya to endorse the product. Apparently, all these conversations take place in secret.
Some real video game Illuminati stuff going on here, folks.
Actually, Kevin, I am a combat veteran, a husband and a father. Those are my life accomplishments. Nothing fancy, like being a video game executive. Sure, I've been playing video games for as long as I can remember – literally, my earliest memory is playing Super Street Fighter II when I was 4 or 5 years old – but I am a mere consumer.
However, I am an informed, unbiased consumer. If my opinion is shaped by something, I share that something with others. What I don't do is attempt to personally attack those who respectfully raise legitimate thoughts on a subject that conflict with my own and I most definitely do not play the "I'm a member of a cool kids club and I can't talk about it!" card.
I am just not buying what he's selling.
I found Kevin Dent by searching "Ouya" on Twitter to see who was talking about it. Perhaps there was some new information I wasn't aware of. Sometimes I search for "Final Fantasy VII" or "Legend of Legaia" or any number of cool things to see what people may have tweeted about them recently. It's fun and you can contact people who share similar interests that way. It's called networking.
Do console makers entice developers to support their console? All of the time. It's the reason Microsoft has kept Gears of War exclusive to Microsoft systems for so long when Epic Games wholly owns the IP. From what I'm seeing, Kevin is saying the Ouya is a terrible device and the only reason "big boy indies" are supporting it isn't because they believe in the console but because they are being paid to.
I have reached out to Ouya CEO Julie Uhrman via Twitter in an attempt to ascertain the truth. I imagine she is rather busy so who knows if she'll even see the tweet. I am not a member of the press nor do I have a list of pertinent credentials to flash that would encourage video game industry brass to respond to me.
I'm just a gamer who believes that people should be held accountable for what they say.

All the FAQs & info I have searched/found on the boards are related to Florida - I can't find any information on mailing packages in advance to CA. Is this possible? Anyone know of where I can find the process? Has anyone shipped from Amazon or is too much info required on outside of box that means you have to personally address/mark the box? Thanks in advance!
