This last Aug. 14 I turned 66 and acknowledge the work you're doing as a favored ongoing gift. My imagination searches for some way to leverage what's considered real into what's possible. Your art consistently draws a bridge for my spirit to step from the confines of concept into unexpected invitation. Thanks, I pray you good health and continued success.
that highland Mural is amazing! i've been looking for a frame for my bedroom!
would be awesome on my bed room behind my bed!
uau! amazing!
The link to the 2560 x 1440 v.1. is now working properly. Thanks for the heads up!
The 2560 x 1440 (HDTV) version of lastthroes1 and lastthroes2 both lead to the same image in the Picklejar.
I've been watching the progress of this piece of art from the very start, and after 3 versions you truly nailed it Ryan! This is fantastic man! I'm a big a sci-fi fan, especially of Alastair Reynolds, and this particular wallpaper reminds me of his "dark science fiction" worlds! Beautiful madness! Cheers!
This is my favorite kind of your work, Ryan, and I love that I have three choices (I've been alternating). But I think my first choice is Last Throes 2 because of the clean look, although I do understand the viewpoint of the folks who think the planet juts too far into the colorful aura. Versions 1 and 3 are both fine work and the dust may be realistic, but IMHO it's not as aesthetic as it might be otherwise.
Oh, another heads up: 2560x1440 (HDTV) of Last Throes1 is missing; 2560x1440 (HDTV) of Last Throes1 has the image of 2560x1440 (HDTV) of Last Throes2 in its place.
Just awesome, I really enjoy the dual screen version of this. I love these type of renders.
Great job on the latest version! It definitely looks much better without the dust. This image is perfect for my "Midnight" time period.
I always wonder at people rating images like this (or really, any of your work) at a 3/10, 5/10, 1/10 are just doing so to mess with the ratings, are blind, are retarded, or very well are just pessimistic jerks. I just don't get it, nothing in your gallery should be rated below a 5, including your old work...whatever, I just want to see your good work be recognized for what it really is.
By the way, LOVING this on my dual 24" widescreens at work. THANK YOU RYAN AND KEEP IT UP. 10/10 from me :p
Trust an astrophysicist to spot the "space anomaly". I've updated the files (again).
I just set this as my desktop wallpaper on my duel screen and it looks flippin awesome! I very much enjoy what you've done with this one!
It has come back to haunt the multiscreen versions. o.O
thanks for the links! Well shut my mouth about my cloud comments, Ryan, sorry. You did a great job!! still V3 the best
Nice to view planets from a perspective NOT in an orbit around a star. The star's corona's appear north-south while the orbs are east-west. Nice.
What I like about the third version is the way the eye is drawn around the nebula, without a planet shoved in my face to disrupt the flow.
I would say that the "Dusty Iris" nebula photo you posted was the initial inspiration for this one (along with watching "Wonders of the Universe" on Discovery).
The version for multiple monitors is rendering now!
I love the latest version. I can think of several intergalactic photos that this resembles and as such it has the feel of being in one of those solar systems.
For example here is a NASA image called
"A Dusty Iris Nebula" http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap110804.html
or "Sisters of the Dusty Sky" http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap101118.html
The reality of the Universe is always surprising.
Thank you again!!

Great space sceens as always/
Not really for me, prefer images with more colour & brightness :)
I'm personally not a fan of the dust still, in my opinion there seems to be a disjoint between it and the rest of the scene.
I do however love version 2, it is quite close to what I wished for earlier. Sadly I feel that the images best characteristic, its vast uncluttered scale, has been lost completely by the growth of the ringed planet. Therefore I would love if there could be either a dustless version of vers. 3 or a large planet-less version of vers. 2.
(What follows is only my opinion and I hope you can consider it positive criticism rather than blind complaining)
Perhaps it is my own more minimalistic viewpoint coming up at odds but I feel (as you have had the programs and computing horsepower to express those scenes previously impossible) that your images are becoming overly "busy". For example 'Dødenfell' has a complex mountain scape, lightning, multiple layers and colours of clouds, an eruption and a very densely star filled sky. I would maintain that your best images are those that have only one main focus with a near uninterrupted view of it (in the space genre see 'Hidden Forces' and 'Crucible Planet') and that the number of such images has dropped. I'll take two examples: my favourite images are still 'Dispersion' and 'Highland Spring'. Both these have the possibility of adding more, such as more chemical equipment or fires and flocks of birds but their cleanness is what will always attract me to them (say over the rest of the Highland series). I hope from this rambling "critique" you might be able to take away a feeling that certainly some of us believe in the "less is more" belief.
I want to say I am always glad when another piece arrives, thank you.
The more episodes of "Wonders of the Universe" I watch, the more this image resonates...
I think I like version 3 best--but on all of them the colors just seem kind of... putrid? Maybe it's just me, but I'm kind of turned off by it. Otherwise, it's a really interesting image.
After having version 3 on desktop all day, ive gotta say its sticking with me. Its crisp and defined with plenty of action going on. I think this one will stay for a while. Thanks Ryan.
I like the v3 version. It gives a sense of the solar system being blown away. Awesome!
I've re-uploaded the hi-res files and these should fix the "line" issue. I'm still not sure what caused that!
I know I sound like a broken record here, but that line across the lower right corner is bugging me to no end. I just hope it's fixed before the multiscreen renders get started...
I have been a member here for at least 7 years and I have to say this is not a good picture. I don't like any of the versions. Just my opinion.
Thanks for the heads up. Actually that link is supposed to bring up a directory listing (and moving up will allow you to browse the directory structure of the Pickle Jar). There isn't a security issue because only Members can browse the PJ.
That said, I really need to write a script to display the PJ contents in a prettier format...
Clicking on "all resolutions" is getting me FTP listings, and I can navigate up to your picklejar folder on your web server. probably not a good thing security-wise.
The rings of the largest planet in v.3 are almost completely obscured by the cloud mass in front in front of them. My preference in 1 vs. 3 is 1 as a clear winner, but 1 vs. 2 is a little closer as I feel they are differently appealing and compliment each other somewhat. Perhaps the multi-screen renders could marry the two imaginings of the larger planet around a single dying star
If I may be so presumptuous, now might be a good time for your long-posted wisdom from Leonardo, "Art is never completed, only abandoned."
I think you've got it!
this is so much better than the first two, you perfected it. Great job Ryan.
Version 3 is OK, but the dark dust in the bottom left corner looks as if it had been photographed while turning the camera! These blurry and perfectly parallel edges are not my taste.
But OK, now everyone has a version he's happy with :-)
I like it, but there is maybe a bit too much red around the star...
The 2nd and 3rd version are really nice, but i definately prefer the original.
The dust is more realistic and the small foreground planet provides some scale for the size of the nebula.
Liking Version 1 & 3. I didn't like the pov of V2. I really liked V1 on my smartphone, but agreed with others that larger sizes didn't have enough color and seemed "dull".
Version 3 has more color and better "action". Not sure how I feel about the new dust method. Still seems like it needs work, but I like the overall look to Version 3. Love your space scenes.
Yep, this one. Smaller planets with a much improved dust cloud. Fabulous. You'll multi-screen this one? (Please!)
Awesome work, as always! :)
I love how the dust in the foreground looks like it's about to fly out of the screen. The smaller planet is much better too. But that blasted line is still in the lower right corner! It bugs me.
Ringed planets are quite common actually. The rings usually aren't like Saturn's though. More like Jupiter and Uranus where you don't really see the rings until you get close.
This is a huge improvement! The added contrast and color are great. I still think it looks too much like regular clouds but they are no longer distracting and I especially like the ones in the upper left that are lighter. This one gets my vote.
|Chris B
v.3 is awesome, it's just like i was picturing it :)
I am definitely liking the third one the most so far. The position of the elements, including the dust, work for me.
I think the dust on the third one is better; it's the best version of the three.
I worked a bit more on my Vue d'Esprit "space dust" process today and I've posted a third version of "The Last Throes" this afternoon. I feel a lot better about this one than the first version. Hope you like it!
I like the 2nd one so far due to the arrangement of the planet and the nebula. The planet looks better coming into view from the left side. I really like the "solar" flair rings around the nebula. Stars above left of the planet may be too dense, but still one of my favs in recent history. Keep up the awesome work!
Shrink the ringed planet by about 1/3, add in your new dust and I think you'll have another winner in my book.
|Henry V.
Ryan, the rings seem a bit off. Portions of them should be illuminated. This is another chance to get some more color in the image. I know you're not trying to take away too much from the star and the dust.
Thanks for all the great feedback! I've been working in Vue this morning to improve my space dust. The next version should be clearer (like the second version) but the dust lanes should look much better.
Ultimately I think I prefer the first version. They're both great though as my favorites are always planetscapes, so I'll happily take two. More please!
...I do prefer the original. The planet now is taking all the attention away from the lovely nebula. I liked the dust in the original but if you don't think it looked right, keep working at it, I think it is a neat idea. Maybe get rid of the ringed planet entirely, too be honest they almost seem like a cliche (are they common in reality? I don't know.)
I dont mind the dust so much. The environment seems more believable but it wouldnt hurt to cut back a little. The smaller planet and other mooms appeal much more than the large circle in the other one. Maybe a bit more attention to the planet for some highlights or color could help spruce it up.
Over all prefer the first.
I prefer the first version as well. The huge planet in the second is too ehhh flat and big.
Admittedly, I was in the camp that liked the dust, but I prefer the first one but largely because the planets were smaller and thus more balanced with the stellar formation/anomaly.
In the second version, the foreground planet is too large for my liking, which is mostly relevant because the planet is largely dark, so it just ends up being a dark patch on an otherwise interesting starfield.
Both versions are good, but I prefer the original. I prefer the perspective on the first one above the second one. I also like the dust, though it would maybe be even better if the dust is al little less dense (if that's correct English)
Do you realize btw that your 480x320 crop is actually at 480x450 (not only in this image but for quite some time now)
|Chris B
I agree with RC, the perspective on the first one is perfect, the 2nd is more the norm and i like the extra color in the planet.
The dust does seem a little too opaque as others have said they fell like cleaning their screen lol. I think if you thinned it out, added some color reflecting from the white dwarf, and put more "motion" in the dust (if that's possible) it would make it look better. The dust along the right bottom corner looks like it is being blown away from the newly formed white dwarf. The rest just doesn't have the sense of motion. I could see where that would be hard to do with the dust coming towards the screen, but then you've done some amazing things :)
|RC Davison
Both images are great in their own right. I really like the perspective in the first version, which shows the planet and its moons from a distance. The dust is clunky, but I think it would work if it was either more diaphanous or more opaque and distributed more linearly about the image as opposed to the clumps.
Keep up the great work.
|Tony K
Space isn't perfect by any means. The dust in the first one made it seem more gritty and real, to me. Either way, both are great. Your space scenes are always phenomenal.
Is there a second light source? The terminator (line between light and dark) on the largest foreground planet doesn't look right. It looks like it's caused by two light sources but we only see one.
I like the second version much better than the first one. Although there's a line across the lower right corner of V2 that bothers me considerably. =P
The second version is much better in my opinion. True it is much more 'ordinary', but I found that the first one really just wasn't something I would want on my computer. Like someone else said it just kept making me want to clean it off.
I definitely prefer the version with dust. It was one of the more interesting aspects of the first picture for me. I also prefer the way the planet was positioned in the pickle jar version. This one is too up close and feels a bit off for some reason to me. I wish I could figure out why exactly it bugs me. Maybe since it's so much closer to the foreground of the picture, it feels as though it needs more detail that is lacking, whereas the distance the planet is in the first rendition didn't need as much.
|Jeff K
Personally, I think the first version with the dust was better. But thats just me. Both version are great.
All good man, keep up the good work!
There is no end to creativity (and you've got lots of it). Continue!
Here's a second, more "conventional" version of "The Last Throes", without the "dust experimentation" that some thought muddied the scene. The original version will staying the Pickle Jar. Which do you prefer?
A few brighter stars in the background might add just what you need to this image (say, a main sequence star or two that's 1 to 5 light years away). However, even if you dont, i love this! Excellent work, ryan. I'm thrilled with your amazing work as always. Space scenes are definitely my favorite type of wallpaper. Needless to say, this is already the wallpaper on my laptop, and when the multi-screens are released i'll be putting it on my desktop as well :-)
I was all set to jump on the band wagon for the add a little interest/color point of view. Then I viewed it at the full screen resolution and the difference is amazing. The greys of the background between the stars become closer to a navy blue and the speckles of the stars go from being more or less a uniform white to varied with other single stars of different hues.
Good Job Ryan Glad I took a closer look!
This one could use a little color in the planets, but otherwise this is great.
I love the overall idea (a dying star) - however, I think this image would look much better if there was less gray and more black. That would help bring out the star and the planets.
Ryan, I LOVE this new image. "experimental" and incredible in the depth, the layering, and the composition. In my opinion, this image is a success and I would love to see you play around with this layering technique more. Keep up the great work, this is one of my all time favorites.
It is a different perspective from seeing the dark side of the planet. I am wondering whether you can add any light refraction in the space dust.

|Henry V.
I would love to see some more color, especially on the rings of the largest planet. The planets just look too muted. Adding some color will bring a little more life into the piece of art imo. Otherwise I love it!
It's okay, but I have some issues with the composition, in that the only interesting, colorful thing going on is in one spot well off-center from the frame, drawing the eye to it. I think I agree with Spike below, that the colors for everything except the single star are pale and gray. Even the planets are all just silhouettes. In short, the only 'action' place in the picture is that one spot; everything else feels static.
And I say this as someone who has loaded ChronoWall with nearly all of your dual-screen planetscapes.
This image certainly pays homage to the older space art. Despite what others are saying. You should definitely do more stuff like this. Keep up what your doing.
This one is awesome! I can't wait for the multiscreen!
Overall, I think it's an interesting composition... though the colors are generally pale and sickly, in a sense. Perhaps less realistic, but ofttimes your stellar works are quite vivid and colorful, and I usually find them quite beautiful. From an artistic perspective, the prevalence of pale, wan colors in an image of a dying star feels appropriate - though it doesn't make me want to set this image as a wallpaper, either.
The dust isn't clumpy enough to be realistic. It looks too smokey which isn't how dust behaves in space. And the foreground dust looks too much like ink in water, again, not how dust behaves in space.
Reminds me of your old "Iris Nebula" image, which is one of my all-time favorites. Only criticism might be the ring planet draws too much attention. Maybe make it about half the size and take off the rings?
I think that this has some interesting prospects, however (and its a huge however) I don't feel this works. The "dust" looks like huge smudges on the screen, they appear to have lost all depth both within themselves and with respect to the scene. You can mostly only tell where they are in space when there is something directly in front of them and then this can leave the object (top left planet) with a "cut out and stuck back on" feel.
I would love a version with out any dust at all. I think the effects on the sun and the rest of the planet scene are brilliant. If the star-y background was clean it would give an amazing sense of loneliness to this one system 'as it collapse into itself all alone in the vastness'.
|David M
Ryan - I think this looks great. It is cool to see this new work of yours this morning as I just visited a planetarium yesterday. I like the coloration of the dust radiating from the star. If I may - I think the planet in the foreground is a bit too large. Also what would you think of adding a brighter star or two in the background, or say, a small star cluster?
Lovely image! Can't wait for tri-screen!
this one just makes me want to clean my monitor screen.
I always prefer the "in space" version of your planetscapes and this one is no exception. If you get chance, I'd love a dual-screen version.
I also find the dust here more realistic than in previous works. But then, your other works were great, too, despite being not so realistic (or maybe just because of that)...
This dying star or whatever looks great! Maybe you could make it a bit larger so that the dust doesn't dominate the scene too much.
After all, I would accept this as a real new wallpaper, not just "experimental".
I'm good with everything but the foreground layer. It looks too much like regular clouds and just detracts from the whole. The focal point, the "phenomena", is diminished and it lacks harmony. I just want to get that out of my way. Maybe more translucent or loose particulate matter would be better? Great piece otherwise and thanks for letting us share in your experiments!
A dying star... indeed, a dying solar system. Chances are any life has long since vanished from the star's time as a red giant. The lifeless effect comes through. I like it a lot.
Well, people want shiny pictures for wallpaper, though, right? Hmmm. Could waves of stellar matter be ripping at planets, smearing the largest one's rings? Maybe it's pre-nova, collapsing, and though not necessarily true to physics, it starts pulling in its planetary children?
I'm assuming that is suppose to be a white dwarf?
I've worked in a planetarium for quite some time, and am a huge astronomy fan (one of the reasons I love your work so much!) This is very realistic, and one of my favorites. Keep it up, Ryan!
It kinda looks like a giant cosmic eye, but I really like this image.
I think the areas around the edges where the stars show the brightest should be clearer from dust to add contrast. It does lack a little in color also. Other than that it looks great.
this has way to much grey in it. Just not up to par with your usual work.
|John N.
LastPass does still work. I log into the site all the time with it (including this time). As far as The Last Throes goes, seems like the dust should "sparkle" more. I think the surrounding planets could use a little color as well. They look too much like silhouettes.
AS a long time fan of both Ryan's work and the Astromony Picture of the Day Archive provided by NASA, I can safely say that is one of your most realistic space scenes ever!
It's beautiful :)
Why doesn't Lastpass work here anymore?
I think Ted put his finger on it. It does look good, but more contrast with dustless space and colors would enhance it overall.
I like it, as a start, but it looks rather 2-dimensional.
Experiment or not, I couldn't be happier to see you working on what I believe to be your strongest suit - planetscapes! Those and abstracts are why I joined, and why I will continue to come back. Do me proud Ryan!
I think this one turned out quite well. You get the feeling of the close up dust from the planets and the distant dust, which is what I imagine you were going for.
Compare with your other space scenes where regions of clarity shine through (Agni has red space dust but it does not cover the entire image). Must make some of the beauty of the singularity colors pierce the dust.

Gene Targeting
Horizon Discovery X‐MAN™ cell lines reveal how PI3K mutation can result in EMT switch and increased invasiveness
A major challenge facing the development of PI3K-targeted pharmaceutical agents is the lack of patient-relevant, in vitro model systems. Studies into the function of oncogenic mutations are commonly carried out in cell line panels that are mutant or wild-type for the gene of interest, however interpretation of these studies can be confounded by additional genetic differences between each cell line background, calling into question the reliability of the results.
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are a class of enzymes that remove acetyl groups from ε-N-acetyl lysine amino acids on histones and other proteins. The removal of acetyl groups serves to increase the positive charge of histone tails, encouraging binding between histones and the DNA backbone, and preventing transcription.
Development of Homogeneous Non-radioactive Assays for Studying Histone H3 Methyltransferases and Demethylases
Post-translational modifications of histones are among the epigenetic mechanisms that can affect chromatin structure and function. Disruption of epigenetic processes can lead to altered gene expression and malignant cellular transformation.
Development of High-Throughput Assays to Study Methylases, Demethylases and Deacetylases Targeting Histone H3K4, H3K27 and H3K36 Residues
Several assay methods have been developed for quantifying the activity of histone deacetylases (HDACs and sirtuins), histone methyltransferases (HMTs), and histone demethylases (HDMs). These include radioactive assays, enzymelinked immunoassays (ELISA), mass spectrometry, and enzyme-coupled detection of fluorescent peptides or reaction co-products (e.g.
Development of High-Throughput Assays to Study Histone H3K4 Methyltransferases & H3K9 Methyl- and Acetyltransferases
Post-translational modifications of histone proteins play an important part in a wide array of cellular processes including regulation of gene transcription, DNA repair, cell cycle, and metabolism control. For instance, transcriptional activation is associated with acetylation of Histone H3 on residues K9 and K14, and methylation on K4.
In eukaryotes, the covalent modification of histones has a crucial role in chromatin architecture and plays an important part in a plethora of cellular processes, from chromatin remodeling and transcriptional regulation, to DNA repair and cell cycle control. While histone acetylation is generally associated to an open chromatin state and transcriptional activation, methylation of histones has been related to either activating or repressive functions.

New York, January 4, 2001 --- Of the 24 journalists killed for their work in 2000, according to CPJ research, at least 16 were murdered, most of those in countries where assassins have learned they can kill journalists with impunity.
This figure is down from 1999, when CPJ found that 34 journalists were killed for their work, 10 of them in war-torn Sierra Leone.
In announcing the organization's annual accounting of journalists who lost their lives because of their work, CPJ executive director Ann Cooper noted that while most of the deaths occurred in countries experiencing war or civil strife, "The majority did not die in crossfire. They were very deliberately targeted for elimination because of their reporting." Others whose deaths were documented by CPJ appear to have been singled out while covering demonstrations, or were caught in military actions or ambushes while on assignment.

New York, May 24, 2000 --- The Committee to Protect Journalists is outraged by the latest murderous attack on journalists in Sierra Leone, which claimed the lives of two western journalists and left two others injured on Wednesday, according to news agencies and CPJ's sources in Freetown.

MyEclipse: Tribix emitter for Birt 2.6.2

Tribix emitter for Birt 2.6.2
Hi, I've been trying to change the default xls emitter for BIRT 2.6.2 in MyEclipse (borth 8.5 and 9) for the Tribix one because I really need images and charts into xls reports.
Since now, I've not been able to make it works. If I follow the steps describe on the Tribix site, I lose the "view as xls" option when I run the report.
However, I've been able to change this emitter using a plain eclipse reporting installation.
Did anybody already have the same problem and have a solution ?

RE: Tribix emitter for Birt 2.6.2
Please answer below queries to help me investigate further -
1. Copy and paste your installation details. Refer -
2. How did you install ME? Meaning all-in-one installer / pulse / archived update site on top of eclipse classic?
3. How did you add Tribix emitter to ME? Please provide a weblink and also mention detailed steps to reproduce above issue
4. Please include screenshots to help me get a visual. Refer -
- May 26, 2011 - 01:06 PM
Post subject:
1: Here is my installation detail
2: I've been using all-in-one installer
3: Here is the link on how to install tribix:
Mostly: If you wish to use just the XLS emitter, download the org.uguess.birt.report.engine.emitter.xls_version and org.uguess.birt.report.engine.common_version plugins and copy them to the plugins directory in your Eclipse install location. You will also need to copy them to the runtime location as well. For example, if you are using the WebViewer this will be the WebViewer/WEB-INF/Platform/plugins directory. You will also need to remove org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.excel.config_version and org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.prototype.excel_version plugins from both locations to replace the out of the box XLS emitters. Restart Eclipse with the –clean option and the Tribix emitter should work. No API changes should be required if you are using the RE API. New worksheets per page and image support should now work.
4: Once I've done the steps of point 3, I lose the following option:

Thank you for the installation details, screenshots and steps to reproduce. I shall investigate and get back to you on this.

You are deleting plugins that are part of the 8.6 install, which is why you are losing the option of export to excel.
Skip this step instead just add tribix plugins to MyEclipse dropins folder and restart the IDE. You should be all set.

So, I've been highly considering jailbreaking my iPhone after seeing and hearing so many good things about it. I understand that doing this will format my phone and that I will need to back up all my phone's data before doing so unless I want to lose everything. However, I like to keep all my SMS messages, as I like to occasionally read over them for various reasons, and potentially losing them in the format has been my only reason for not jailbreaking my phone. Now, I know that the text data is included in the backup file, but my research made me unsure of whether or not they would actually be restored along with everything else. Last night though, I read on the Apple Support page that SMS messages are part of the backup and that restoring the phone with the backup would restore everything exactly as it was. Now, I know it may be a tad dumb to still be confused after seeing that info on the official website, but everything else I had read still leaves me in need of some verification, which is why I am here asking for some assistance.
So, to make this short, I just want to know if I can use the backup I create before formatting and jailbreaking my phone to restore my texts afterward. Thanks in advance.
Oh, by the way, while I say I have done a little research, I am still quite unfamiliar with jailbreaking and such, so if you happen to have any advice to give to a newbie, I'd gladly take it.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that my iPhone is a 3G running 3.1.2 (7D11) firmware, if that makes any difference.

U.S. Army War College >> Strategic Studies Institute >> Publications >> Latin America's New Security Reality: Irregular Asymmetric Conflict and Hugo Chavez
U.S. Army War College >> Strategic Studies Institute >> Publications >> Details
Authored by Dr. Max G. Manwaring.
+[Venezuela] +[Hugo Chavez] +[bolivarianismo] +[Asymmetric War] +[Irregular War] +[Fourth-Generation Warfare] +[Latin American Security and Stability] +[Super Insurgency] +[Populism] +[Neo-populism] +[New Socialism]
In 2005, Dr. Manwaring wrote a monograph entitled Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, Bolivarian Socialism, and Asymmetric Warfare. It came at a time when the United States and Venezuela were accelerating a verbal sparing match regarding which country was destabilizing Latin America more. President Chavez shows no sign of standing down; he slowly and deliberately centralizes his power in Venezuela, and carefully and adroitly articulates his Bolivarian dream (the idea of a Latin American Liberation Movement against U.S. economic and political imperialism). Yet, most North Americans dismiss Chavez as a "nut case," or—even if he is a threat to the security and stability of the Hemisphere—the possibilities of that threat coming to fruition are too far into the future to worry about. Dr. Manwaring's intent is to explain in greater depth what President Chavez is doing and how he is doing it. First, he explains that Hugo Chavez's threat is straightforward, and that it is being translated into a consistent, subtle, ambiguous, and ambitious struggle for power that is beginning to insinuate itself into political life in much of the Western Hemisphere. Second, he shows how President Chavez is encouraging his Venezuelan and other followers to pursue a confrontational, populist, and nationalistic agenda that will be achieved only by (1) radically changing the traditional politics of the Venezuelan state—and other Latin American states—to that of "direct" (totalitarian) democracy; (2) destroying North American hegemony throughout all of Latin America by conducting an irregular Fourth-Generation War "Super Insurgency"; and, (3) country-by-country, building a great new Bolivarian state out of a phased Program for the Liberation of Latin America.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep up the good work!
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

'Cause the ***** you love to hate still can kill at will
It ain't no pop 'cause that sucks

I'm platinum ***** and I didn't have to sell out

**** America still wit the triple K
Cause you know when my nine goes buck
It will bust your head like a watermelon dropping 12 stories up

I'm the one to stand wit the gun in hand
Make sure before you buck wit duck quick

you can call root of the partition you are working on,and if you are working on different partition than the one you are trying to fix, than the path is:
In OSX it is named "mach_kernel"
Drivers in OS X has extension of .kext and are located in a folder named "extensions".
Full path for it is:
if you are trying to locate on your own working partition, or if you are working in a different partition to fix another one, to locate another osx's driver folder, you should look for:
You need to place the kernel (mach_kernel) / driver (kext file) into the folder location I mentioned above, and need to fix the permissions (its characteristics). Why? OS X requires all files to have certain characteristics so it can identify things like, what user files are, what system files are and how to treat them in short. If you do not define this characteristics, it will refuse to run them or treat them as normal user files or such...
The most common permissions you will need to know are driver permissions, and kernel permission
for kernel and driver's ownership permission level is "0:0" or "root:wheel"
for kernel access/mod permission level is "644"
for driver access/mod permission level is "755"
OSX has sort of (i call it this way for easy understanding) disaster recovery and/or fast boot operation. And when you load the system as it is, the opreation i just mentioned, will prevent new drivers from loading at boot. These operations are done by two files:
In Tiger; Extensions.mkext, and Extensions.kextcache
(full path for both files: "/system/library/" )
In Leopard; Extensions.mkext, and caches/com.apple.kext.info
(full path for mkext files: "/system/library/" )
(full path for both info file: "/system/library/extensions/caches/" )
So, if you do not delete these two files or do some special operations, osx will ignore your changes and in the next boot, it will load original ones, which means whatever you copied, or fixed, will not work.
cp/mv are used for copying files around for your own reasons, you can normally do gui type of copy/move as well, but somefiles are not shown in gui but in terminal, so you would need it manually...
cp leaves original files in the source, unlike mv command, that renames the source or moves the files from source to the destination folder/file name usage is pretty much same...
using -R in any command, will apply to folders and files within the folders recursively... so you wont get annoyed by the messages...
chown and chmod are for fixing permissions (changing attributes of your files)and u will always use it together one after the other one...
rm is used to delete/remove files and folders
nano is the command to edit plist files to do things like adding your device ids, or changing boot preferences.
when you are done, press "ctrl+o" to save changes and press "enter" as it will ask to confirm and press "ctrl+x" to quit editing.
important usagefor drivers to add dev id:
nano info.plist (if you navigated to the right folder)
nano ABC.kext/Contents/info.plist (if you are in the drivers folder)
nano /System/Library/Extensions/ABC.kext/Contents/info.plist (if you are not where you are)
ls is short for list and used to list folders/files which is "dirs" equavalent of dos
What to Know Before Booting off a DVD or HDD
-v : verbose mode to see all system messages to see what is loading and what errors u are receiving.
-x : safe GUI mode to disable some trouble drivers and still enables you to boot
-s : safe text mode (like terminal) if -x doesnt work or u need to make some major changes
-f : after replacing some drivers in your system, boot with this in order to make sure it will reload evertyhing in drivers folder...
cpus=1 : if you get error/panic after some loading saying anything about cpu as this is needed for some chipsets and or kernels that are not patched to work on multicores for those chipsets or drivers. It enables only one core on your system though.
some important usage:
-v -s : to go into safe text mode
-v -x : to go into safe gui mode to ignore majority of the drivers from loading, but not all of them beware
-v -f : it reloads/creates the archive of the drivers folder, good to start with after replacing some drivers
you can also add cpus=1 to any of these usages if you are having problems with the kernelfor example:
-v -f cpus=1
If you don't understand this stuff, than running OSX on a PC is not your cup of tea, believe me!

Nike LeBron 9 PS Elite 'South Beach' – New Photos
April 25th, 2012 by Brendan Dunne | 82 comments
Some salty NBA fans might not put LeBron in the category of 'elite' players until he's got a ring to show for his dominance, but even those doubters oughta have a hard time denying the elite status given to his post season sneaker for this year. The Nike LeBron 9 P.S. Elite is set to arrive in a group of colorways that are anything but conspicuous, with perhaps the least attention grabbing of the bunch still being a gaudy golden affair. With that being said the most attention grabbing of the bunch has to be this redux of the 'South Beach' colorway, a minty pair that we've seen gain a number of fans over the past couple weeks. Click through for more shots of the Nike LeBron 9 Elite PS 'South Beach' from RMK and if you feel the need to scoop them before the June 2nd release date, you can find some now on eBay.

ZIMBABWE: My 10 day Buffalo and Plains Game hunt with Sango Safari's
This is a discussion on ZIMBABWE: My 10 day Buffalo and Plains Game hunt with Sango Safari's within the Hunting Reports & Reviews forums, part of the HUNT AFRICA category; Myself and two friends completed a 10 day Buffalo and Plains game hunt in the Bubye Valley Conservancy, Nengo Camp, ...
ZIMBABWE: My 10 day Buffalo and Plains Game hunt with Sango Safari's
Myself and two friends completed a 10 day Buffalo and Plains game hunt in the Bubye Valley Conservancy, Nengo Camp, with Sango Safari's. Our PH was the very capable Mr Craig Robinson, a through and through Rhodesian gentleman and expert in his trade.
The three of us flew from Queensland, Australia directly into Bulawayo and returned without any drama's. Flights married up perfectly and no hassles carrying firearms and ammunition once permission was granted and all paperwork done.
Met at Bulawayo Airport by Craig and straight to his house to swap vehicles and on the road to the Conservancy. No time wasted, we were given the option of whatever we wanted to do but time was a limiting factor and we all agreed that we wanted to look around the bush more than the city.
It can never be said that Craig didn't earn his day rate.He is also a very ethical hunter and reflects with everything that happens on safari. This man works hard to make sure you get the trophy that you are after, and then some. Same could be said of the camp staff who did an 'over the top' job of making sure our stomachs were filled to bursting point with excellently prepared and fresh meals.
About the only thing that marred an excellent trip was the Zim Customs officials that we were greeted with on arrival in Bulawayo. We had all our paperwork completed and in order before we even landed, when we handed everything to the official who made the point of "greeting" us as we got off the tarmac, we were sent to the back of the line. We were then approached by another official who asked" can I help?". We said "no thanks, we have everything we need and it;s all filled out". We were given the run around for nearly 45 minutes. Whilst constantly being asked"did we need any help". Our PH was standing behind the arrivals muster wall and we could here him arguing with the other officials outside. Anyhow after nearly an hour of "do you need any help" question for the 50th time and being ignored by officials when we presented passports and documents, we all "donated" $10 each and like clock work everything started to happen and were allowed straight through, amazing! Same thing was going to happen on our departure but Craig ignored officials and accompanied us into an area out the back and tore strips off of the officials in Shona. They were the same guys who processed on arrival and unbeknown to us neglected to fill out some of their paperwork correctly which directly related to the cash brought into the country by us to pay Trophy Fees. We had no dramas then departing, in fact the official didn't even look me in the eye when he looked and stamped my passport!
That incident would not stop me returning for another Safari. It is always easier second time around. On completion of our Safari Craig took us to Metabeleland Taxidermist in Bulawayo and were given a guided tour of their workshop and showroom by the second in charge, Dawn. Impressed by the price and quality all our trophy's will be prepared by them.
All in all a very memorable first Safari and am planning a return trip for 2015. I would recommend to anyone who wants a hunting trip, not a shooting trip, to visit Zim whilst it is still possible.

Well done drew! That's one very old buff, love it.U.S. Contact for HartzView Safaris
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks. He took 2 hours of stalking through the mob to pick out and another hour to get into a shooting position and wait for him to stand up( the mob of 70 or so were parked up in the shade of the late morning sun chewing their cud).
Photos are taken where and how he dropped.

That is one old Buff. Looks a great Eland. I really liked the look of your Zebra. He is probably the darkest one that I have ever seen. Not a lot of white on him. We'd love to hear stories of the stocks on your animals. Bruce

Congratulations! All of your animals are top-notch!! The zebra is stunning. I have never seen one like that... I had the good fortune of being in camp with Craig in November 2011. He took great care of his client. That man worked his ass off!! Craig was a joy to be around, I don't think I've laughed that hard in a long time. He knows his music!!! He's a good man for sure and will go to hell and back for his client from what I witnessed. Craig R. also tried to save a scout and the man would have lived if not for the sh*& treatment he received when he was admitted to the hospital. Craig was understandably devastated upon hearing the news of the scout's eventual demise. It was a horrible event. He could have been saved had he had proper care. Your PH is a hero in my eyes, and a very decent fellow...

Thanks for the hunt report and picture, outstanding safari!
My thanks to all. In regards to the Zebra, he is a normal plains variety. I am going to start another thread about him and a cracker Impala. All taken on our trip, but shot at long range (280m plus) with my 8mm Rem Mag. Not much is mentioned about the 8mm, a very overlooked and magnificent cartridge, hence why I will start the thread.
All of us who hunted are not trophy hunters as such. We could not give a hoot about sizes and getting your name in some SCI or other record book pages. We were all interested in older, mature bulls that were not in their prime and who had more than had the opportunity to pass their genes on down the bloodlines through out the herds. This is how Craig feels too and was why we all sort of just "clicked" which made it a very enjoyable time for all, even when just sitting around camp after lunch or in the evening after dinner.
In spite of our, size doesn't matter trophy ideas, we all were able to take excellent animals. None of which were immature or second rate. This is just a testament to the talent of our PH. Believe me the Bubye Valley was full of game of many species and all were in great condition. I don't mean from a record breaker point of view, all animals were fat with shiny coats and with few parasites on and in them. What we saw and what we believed would have been a good animal to take was greeted only by Craig's phrase-"oh ya, he's a good'on, but why don't we wait till we see his Dad!".
This was my cherry trip and admit I still don't know half as much as what many board members here would about Africa in general.After about day three I learnt that when Craig said shoot at an animal, it was a good one and to line him up in the sights as quick as possible, or get into a better position to take a shot. A first safari for me was always going to be a memorable occasion. But having someone like Craig on your cherry trip made me hooked for life. Repeat trips coming up as soon as can be paid for.
I scanned through many articles here before we departed for Zim and got the most important advice, Listen to your PH and follow. We really lucked out having Craig as our first PH. I know he was my first but we did encounter other PHes with clients along the boundaries of our camp and at the Base Camp. We could see they were doing things differently and were then glad we were doing things the way we were doing them because it felt better and made more sense once we had something else to compare hunting styles too. But hey everyone is different.
OT- I am having a hell of a time trying to upload photo's. I am trying to attach my mates buff photo. Shot whilst grazing in late afternoon. Craig gets you so close you can feel their hot breath!

I am afraid there is not much to report. I hunted in Namibia in May for twenty three days, walked my legs off. The longest distant we walked this trip in a day were 36.7 Kms (22.8 miles) after a lone bull, but his tusks were small. There was one night that a big old bull came one meter closed to my tent for water in the toilet bowl. I woke up by the noise the old bull broke off some branches and I had to shout to make him go away. I told Felix early that morning and we did take his track. We caught up with him after two hours. He was a very old bull in sixty pounds class.
We saw an old bull with one tusk that would easily make 80 lbs, four more bulls over 70 lbs and several bulls over 60-65 lbs, mostly in the first half of the safari. I had only one permit this year, so I was holding off for my hundred pounder. My plan was to come back again in November if I did not see what I wanted. However, I could feel that Felix had enough of me already, so I ended up shot a bull with a very long pair of tusks in 60 lbs class on the second to the last day. I did shoot an old roan too.
A client that came after me shot a nice old bull though. Felix wrote me :
" The bull weighed left tusk 86.1 and right tusk 84.3. Measurements are: left tusk length 193cm; circumference 51.4. Right tusk length 184cm
Circumference 52cm." A happy hunter.
Off to Zim in October.Thorns in fingers and hands, cuts in arms and legs, blisters in feet, happiness in me.

g2 is an easy to use, portable and powerful 2D graphics library. It provides a comprehensive set of functions for simultaneous generation of graphical output on different types of devices. The following devices are currently supported: Postscript, X11, FIG (xfig), PNG, and JPEG using the gd library, and Win32. g2 is written in C (ANSI) and additionally has Fortran, Perl, and Python interfaces.
The GRASP Project has created an algorithmic-level graphical representation for software called the Control Structure Diagram (CSD). The CSD was created to improve the comprehension efficiency of Ada source code and, as a result, improve software reliability and reduce software costs. Since its creation, the CSD has been expanded and adapted to include other languages. GRASP provides the capability to generate CSD's from Ada 95, C, C++, Java, and VHDL source code in both a reverse and forward engineering mode with a level of flexibility suitable for professional application. GRASP has been integrated with the GNU family of compilers for Ada (GNAT) and C (gcc), and Sun's javac compiler for Java. Use of GRASP is not restricted to these compilers, however. This has resulted in a comprehensive graphically-based development environment for these languages. The user may view, edit, print, and compile source code as CSDs with no discernible addition to storage or computational overhead.

Hi, I need some help with autocomplete module in rails 2.0.2
My app has a "product" model with "name" and "price" attributes.
There is a "purchase_order" model that is related to product through "belongs_to" and has an attribute called "amount"
I can write the product_id or the product_name in the form field and the purchase_order is created.
What I want is to show a list of products while you are writing the name so you can choose one from the list instead of writing the full product name.
I can't find the solution out there (even GoogleGod fails sometimes)
Thanks in advance
Hola Francisco!
Me alegro mucho ver un español tirando a los Rails!! Que bien!
En cuanto a tu pregunta... bueno, mejor en Ãngles como hay más gente aquà también!
In regards to your question Francisco, check out http://demo.script.aculo.us/ajax/autocompleter their example is straight forward and probably one of the most widely used examples for AJAX autocompletion.
Hope that helps, Suerte amigo, Mateo
I was having the same problem and finding no solution. I finally found the model_auto_completer plugin and it works great. script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/model-ac/trunk/vendor/plugins/model_auto_completer
I hope this helps
Thanks Matthew and Jason
I didn't understand well de autocompleter documentation so I used the model_auto_completer plugin and it's working fine.
Now I want to try something similar with "has_many :through" relationships... Well, I'll ask you again if I can't find a good solution.
Thanks again.
hello u can see this, this may solve ur problem autocompleter-example-in-ruby-on-rails

It is a wine that envelops the mouth, an edge of firmness over velvet fruit textures. The wine..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A sensational effort, the 2006 Mouton Rothschild exhibits an opaque purple color as well as a classic Mouton perfume of creme de cassis, flowers, blueberries, and only a hint of oak... I think this has worked fabulously well with the cassis quality fruit they get from their Cabernet Sauvignon. The..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 1990 La Chapelle is the sexy and opulent. I had the 1990 at the Jaboulet tasting, and again out of a double magnum three months ago. On both occasions it was spectacular, clearly meriting a three-digit score. The modern day equivalent of the 1961, it deserves all the attention it has..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "... elegance as well as unreal concentration. Classic lead pencil, cassis, kirsch, cedar, and spice characteristics are abundant in both the nose and full-bodied flavors ..."
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2006 Latour performed even better from bottle than from barrel. Only 38% of the production (10,000 cases) made it into the grand vin, a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest primarily Merlot and a small amount of Cabernet Franc. From barrel, I thought it was a modern day version of the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "...this is one of the wines of the vintage and (along with Pavie) among the finest wines from the Right Bank. It possesses a deep purple color as well as a gorgeous nose of creme de cassis, blackberries, wet stones, and wonderfully perfumed floral notes. When the wine hits the palate, it exhibits..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2009 is one of the greatest Leoville Las Cases I have ever tasted, which is saying something given the many compelling wines that have been made at this estate... The high alcohol is barely noticeable in this 2009, which boasts an inky/purple color, monumental concentration, and great clarity..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The brilliant 2006 Cheval Blanc performed better from bottle than from barrel. A blend of equal parts Cabernet Franc and Merlot grown in a superb vineyard site facing La Conseillante and l'Evangile at the very edge of the sandy, gravelly soils of St.-Emilion, it boasts a dense ruby/purple color as..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The dense ruby/purple-hued 2005 Cheval Blanc's ethereal bouquet of menthol, coffee, wet stones, black cherries, blackberries, and hints of graphite and spice soars from the glass. An equal part blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, it is medium to full-bodied with a gorgeous texture in addition to..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A brilliant offering and a candidate for wine of the vintage, this is classic Lafite that reminded me somewhat of the 1976, although the vintage conditions were completely different. This is a medium-weight, quintessentially elegant style of Lafite... with black currants, plums, and crushed..
