New York's infamous and grungy arcade holdout, Chinatown Fair, shut its doors earlier this year. Should you have happened to miss this momentous occasion or simply miss the sights and sounds of the decades-old hangout, it's now the subject of a documentary, one that you can help become reality.
Arcade: The Last Night At Chinatown Fair is a newly kicked-off Kickstarter project seeking funding. The film's producers are trying to secure $20,000 to finish filming and editing Arcade, which "documents the final week of New York City's last arcade" and the opening of its successor, the Next Level arcade in Brooklyn.
Producers say they're still interviewing the Chinatown Fair community and plan to show Arcade at festivals sometime in 2012. Like most Kickstarter projects, donating to the cause gets you all kinds of goodies, depending on your generosity.
Hit up Kickstarter for an early look at the film and see if it inspires you to open your wallet.

I had prepared a draft of this post back on October 27, 2012 — mere days before the all-important November 6 elections. But my source was adamant that FOTM shouldn't publish it because it would "frighten" the American people. I very much disagreed with his stance (my reason is below in red), but acceded to his wish.
Now that even the Left are talking about the Obama regime instigating martial law (see TrailDust's post "Warnings from the Left and the Right about Obama's plans martial law), I see no reason why I should hold back this post. (Besides, I am no longer on speaking terms with the source because, once again, he wanted to withhold the truth about another matter from our readers.) Here is my post, as I had written it on Oct. 27 last year.
FOTM has an unspoken policy not to traffic in unsubstantiated rumors. But I decided to do this post because I believe the importance of the subject matter warrants countervening that policy.
The rumor is that some in the Obama regime are making preparations for martial law. If such a plan indeed is being hatched, exposure of the plan to public knowledge can act as a deterrent, much as sunlight has a salubrious disinfectant effect on toxic bacteria.
Here's the rumor. A trusted friend of FOTM received this email from "Joe," a former U.S. Marine. Here's Joe's email, dated Oct. 18, 2012:
Stopped at the new Mo rest area on IH44 this PM. There was a 18 wheeler loaded with big signs. On my way back from the whiz room, took a look at the signs about 8′ x 10′. I could not believe what I was reading:
Alas, Joe did not take a picture of the signs, probably because he didn't have a camera handy.
So I went scouring the Internet searching for any report that others also have seen the signs. All I could find was an assertion that "Martial Law" signs were seen in Utah in June or July 2012.
The claim was made on the Drake Blog Radio Show of July 4, 2012. In the audio below, beginning at the 15:10 mark, Drake Bailey said that "a few days ago" a military truck wrecked in the woods in Utah. The people who came to help saw that the truck was packed with cargo that included signs that said "Bank Closed" and "Martial Law," as well as "paperwork" that says the signs are to be "put out" in October, right before the election.
When we put these sightings of "Martial Law" signs in the context of the posts FOTM have done on military drills with Black Hawk helicopters over urban cities, the DHS arming itself to the teeth with armored vehicles, battle rifles, and hollow-point bullets, etc. (see below), speculations and rumors about an Obama martial law no longer seem so far-fetched.
- "Military drills frighten residents of Miami and Houston," Jan. 29, 2013.
- "Heavily-armored DHS vehicles seen on road," Sept. 20, 2012.
- "DHS adds high-powered battle rifles to its arsenal," July 20, 2012.
- "Ben Swann: Obama Demanded Power of Indefinite Detention," Nov. 29, 2012.
- "Pentagon: Protests are 'low level terrorism'," Jan. 22, 2013.
- "West Point study demonizes "far right" as terrorists," Jan. 19, 2013.
- "US Army targets Tea Party movement as extremists in 2016 civil war scenario," Aug. 16, 2012.
- "US Army has a Field Manual on Civilian Internment," May 8, 2012.
- "U.S. County Sheriffs say "no" to Obama gun control," Jan. 22, 2013.

Dear blog readers,
I do know that it's been a while. So long a while, as a matter of fact, that you might have (gasp!) moved on to some more frequently updated blogging sites. But despair not, I'm back, after some busy times, and I won't leave you wondering alone for this long again (famous last words). As a matter of fact, it's been so long, that I started the blog below in the throws of our non-winter, just after the holiday season. This is what I wrote:
I do like the holiday season. Not everything about it, mind you, but many things. First, as an avid skier, I love the weather this time of the year—snow is my friend, and I don't mind the cold either (and no, I am not happy that we've not had much of either). Second, I love (most of) the decked-out houses in Baltimore neighborhoods. They range from tasteful white lights in trees to a myriad of biblical characters in various types of plastic, lit up in various colors, from Disney characters of the same make-up, to, of course, the pink flamingoes (that odd, almost quaint Baltimore tradition), all sitting peacefully one next to the other, on people's lawns.
I even like the music this time of the year. Being from Europe, a New Year doesn't start for me until I've watched the broadcast of Vienna Philharmonic's New Year's Concert, featuring many of the eternally elegant waltzes, coupled with the Lipizzaner horses, originally from the Slovenian Republic of my old country of Yugoslavia, dancing in sync with the music. Even the carols don't phase me, at least not in the first week or two of the season (though that period seems to come earlier every year, doesn't it, therefore lasting longer yet?).
This holiday season, I had an opportunity to hear an orchestra concert made up of talented students of A. Mario Loiederman Middle School in Montgomery County, that featured some of that holiday music. This is because I was given an opportunity to help them prepare (in a role of a conductor), during three visits, for a performance of Leroy Anderson's Sleigh Ride, that culminated in that concert.
Most of these kids are learning their instruments without the benefit of private lessons. A lot of them haven't even had a chance to learn how to properly hold their instrument or decipher some of the very basic note reading, let alone learn ways to mold a phrase or deliver dynamics the composer is requiring. But they make up for it in enthusiasm and youthful energy.
This is where their music teachers, in this case Ian Stuart and Liz Jankowski-Carson, enter into the equation. I have always considered the grossly underpaid music teachers in elementary and middle schools in this country to be the real heroes of our music industry. Day in and day out, they deal with kids who are playing on instruments that are sometimes missing proper reeds, strings, or are impossible to tune, kids that are sometimes lacking the capacity to be quiet, listen and concentrate at the high level that is required for any progress to occur in an ensemble rehearsal. Sometimes they have to politely ask and plead, other times turn into task masters the likes of boot camp officers, in order to get anything done. To say that rehearsing a 3 minute arrangement of the Sleigh Ride with these kids for a couple of hours is a challenge is a gross understatement.
Yet they (the teachers) perform small miracles every day. It was intriguing to see Mr. Stewart get them pepped up, yet keep them disciplined and quiet as they were preparing for their performance.
I listened to several jazz, pop and rock music-influenced holiday tunes backstage while waiting to conduct them in the Anderson, and observed the same types of communication that are necessary to pull off a performance anywhere, on any stage. Smiles and stern looks rained on them from their conductors'/teachers' faces, other sections were listened to for cues, eyes darted alternately from the music to conductor's baton, it all was there. Not all the notes were there, of course, and not every nuance came through, but it was all done with a great amount of energy and pride.
The same was true with the Sleigh Ride. I saw the whites of their eyes in crucial spots in the percussion, smiles from cellos in their fun counter-melodies, heard strong rhythm from brass and woodwinds and great dynamics from the violins and violas. The crowd, made up of very enthusiastic parents, teachers, and fellow students, exploded in appreciative applause. A great reward for the many hours of work the kids and their teachers put into the challenging program.
So, even though it may seem like a distant memory now, I remember with fondness the good time we all had in the last holiday season, and look forward to returning to the Loiederman School for more coachings and rehearsals in the spring, when this winter also becomes a just a distant memory.

NASA has become a transition problem for Obama, Orlando Sentinel
"NASA administrator Mike Griffin is not cooperating with President-elect Barack Obama's transition team, is obstructing its efforts to get information and has told its leader that she is "not qualified" to judge his rocket program, the Orlando Sentinel has learned. In a heated 40-minute conversation last week with Lori Garver, a former NASA associate administrator who heads the space transition team, a red-faced Griffin demanded to speak directly to Obama, according to witnesses. In addition, Griffin is scripting NASA employees and civilian contractors on what they can tell the transition team and has warned aerospace executives not to criticize the agency's moon program, sources said. Griffin's resistance is part of a no-holds-barred effort to preserve the Constellation program, the delayed and over-budget moon rocket that is his signature project."
Editor's note: Mike: everyone seems to have gotten the message - except you. It is time to go.
The Transition Team is doing what the White House has said that they want them to do. The White House wants them to be able to "look under the hood" at all levels of government and has directed you to cooperate with them. How you can think that this unprofessional behavior on your part will endear you to the incoming Obama team is baffling.

Manganese can keep toxic hydrogen sulfide zones in check in aquatic systems, researchers report in ScienceUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology
HONOLULU - Manganese, in trace amounts, is essential to human health. Now a research team from the University of Delaware (UD), Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the University of Hawaii and Oregon Health and Science University has discovered that a dissolved form of the mineral also is important in waterways such as the Black Sea and Chesapeake Bay, where it can keep toxic hydrogen sulfide zones in check.
The results are reported in the Sept. 29 issue of the prestigious journal Science and also are the focus of the journal's "Perspectives" column, "Geochemistry: Manganese Redox Chemistry Revisited," written by Kenneth S. Johnson of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in Moss Landing, Calif.
"This discovery will alter the paradigm on which our understanding of manganese aqueous geochemistry is based," Johnson said.
The authors of the study include Robert Trouwborst, who recently completed his doctorate in oceanography at UD's College of Marine and Earth Studies and is now a sediment and water quality consultant for Syncera Water in the Netherlands; Brian Glazer, who received his doctorate in marine biology-biochemistry from UD and is now an assistant professor at the University of Hawaii; and UD chemist George Luther, Maxwell P. and Mildred H. Harrington Professor of Marine Studies, who was Trouwborst's and Glazer's doctoral adviser.
Postdoctoral fellow Brian Clement and his adviser, Bradley Tebo, both from Oregon Health and Science University, also co-authored the study. Clement worked on the project while completing his doctorate from Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
The study is based on research that was conducted in 2003 during a month-long expedition, funded by the National Science Foundation, to explore the chemistry of the Black Sea. Nearly 90 percent of the mile-deep system is a no-oxygen "dead zone," containing large amounts of naturally produced hydrogen sulfide, which is lethal to most marine life. Only specialized microbes can survive in this underwater region.
Above this large underwater "dead zone" in the Black Sea is another aquatic layer, known as the "suboxic zone," that has both minimal amounts of oxygen and minimal amounts of hydrogen sulfide. This layer can have a thickness as great as 40 meters (130 feet) deep in the Black Sea, but only 4 meters (13 feet) deep in the Chesapeake Bay.
The scientists found that a chemical form of dissolved manganese--Mn(III)--can compose in the water or be mobilized from sediments originating from the continental slope and other sources. It can maintain the existence of the suboxic zone by reacting as a reductant with oxygen and as an oxidant with hydrogen sulfide, preventing the deadly hydrogen sulfide from reaching the surface layer of water, where most fish, algae and microscopic plants live.
The finding is surprising, Luther said, because dissolved manganese as Mn(III) was assumed not to form in the environment and thus was largely ignored by scientists.
"Now we've learned that this form of dissolved manganese [Mn(III)] can constitute almost all the dissolved manganese in suboxic water columns and can react with hydrogen sulfide and other compounds that only solid manganese(IV) phases were thought to be doing," Luther noted. "It is also more reactive than the solid phases.
"We think the role of dissolved manganese [Mn(III)] is particularly critical to the Black Sea--the largest body of water in the world containing poisonous hydrogen sulfide," Luther continued. "It also is helpful in other waterways such as the Chesapeake Bay where another element, iron, also plays a minor role in preventing hydrogen sulfide zones from reaching the surface."
During the research mission in the Black Sea, the scientists used a specialized device called an electrochemical analyzer, invented by Don Nuzzio of Analytical Instrument Systems Inc., with support from the Delaware Sea Grant College Program, to locate and map the chemistry of the suboxic zone in real time under changing salinity, temperature and depth. Nuzzio is an adjunct professor at UD's College of Marine and Earth Studies.
The sensor portion of the analyzer developed by Luther's group consists of a gold-tipped electrode encased in a protective plastic sheath that is deployed at various depths where it can then measure a host of chemicals simultaneously--a huge advance over previous sensors that could measure only one chemical at a time.
The readings taken with the analyzer at appointed depths showed the absence or presence of oxygen and different forms of sulfur in each area, which, in turn, provided a key to finding Mn(III) and other processes that might be taking place. UD scientists also have used the device in water chemistry research in the Chesapeake Bay and at hydrothermal vents nearly two miles deep in the Pacific Ocean.
"Our research shows that the impact of dissolved manganese(III) is significant in any aquatic environment, including lakes, plus sediments on the seafloor and soils on land," Luther said. "And for the public who live near the water, dissolved manganese(III) actually helps prevent naturally occurring hydrogen sulfide from getting to the surface, so it prevents both fish kills and the foul odors from this compound's telltale 'rotten egg' smell."

Who Was Samuel Adams's "Servant Boy Job"?
On 13 Apr 1772, Samuel Adams wrote to his friend James Warren, a merchant in Plymouth (shown at left):
I am much obligd for your Care in procuring for me a Boy.This is an interesting look at Adams's class expectations. Though not a rich man, he had household servants looking after him and his family—including a woman named Surry, who was legally enslaved. Adams sent his own son to the Latin School and Harvard, but planned to teach this boy more rudimentary knowledge at home because "I cannot spare him the time to attend School."
I shall be ready to receive him about the middle of next month and shall take the best care of him that shall be in my Power till he is 14 years old, perfecting him in his reading and teaching him to write and cypher [i.e., do arithmetic] if capable of it under my own Tuition for I cannot spare him the time to attend School. Will strictly regard his Morals and at the End of time I will if his parents shall desire it, seek a good place for him to learn such a Trade as he and they shall chuse.
During Samuel's absence from Boston to attend the Continental Congress starting in mid-1774, he and his wife Elizabeth exchanged some letters that mention a boy named Job. Elizabeth on 12 Sept 1774:
PS. . . . [Surry?] and Job send their dutty.Samuel to Elizabeth, 17 June 1775:
It is a great Satisfaction to me to be assured from you that your Mother & Family are out of Boston, and also my boy Job. I commend him for his Contrivance in getting out. Tell him from me to be a good Boy. I wish to hear that my Son and honest Surry were releasd from their Confinement in that Town.Samuel to Elizabeth, 30 July 1775:
Pay my proper Respects to your Mother & Family, Mr & Mrs. Henshaw, my Son & Daughter, Sister Polly &c. Tell Job and Surry that I do not forget them.Finally, on 28 Sept 1778, Samuel wrote to his "dear Betsy" with this praise:
I think you have done well in putting your Servant Boy Job an Apprentice to a Sail Maker. I hope you will injoyn it on him to let you see him often, that you may give him your Advice, and tell him it is my Desire that he would attend to it. I love the Boy, and am still of opinion, that if he is properly mannagd he will make a good Citizen.By this point Samuel was referring to the boy as Elizabeth's servant rather than his own; she was clearly running the household while he was away for so many months in Philadelphia.
A couple of generations later, one of Adams's descendants wrote a biography of him that stated:
Another member of the family was a servant boy, whose education Mr. Adams attended to as conscientiously as though he had been his own child. The boy lived to become an influential mechanic in Boston, and was conspicuous in 1795-96 as an active politician in electing his old master to the Chief Magistracy [i.e., governor] of the Commonwealth.So it looks like young Job lived with Samuel Adams's family probably from 1772, and certainly from 1774, through 1778. He would therefore have had an intimate perspective on the period of the Boston Tea Party, the return of British troops, the start of the war, the siege of Boston, the Declaration of Independence, and the difficult months that followed. If Elizabeth Adams found an apprenticeship for Job when he was about to turn fourteen, as her husband had planned, that means he'd been born in 1764 and grew up with the Adamses from about age eight. Then he went to work for a sailmaker, at least at first. And the family recalled that he was still in Boston and politically active about twenty years later.
Researchers interested in Adams, in the history of childhood, in the American working class and its politics—we need to find this person!!!!!

Second James Craig and Irene Scala Designing with Type Award Given
POSTED ON: March 14, 2014
Ian Langehough, a junior, has won the second James Craig and Irene Scala Designing with Type Award. Established in 2013, the award provides a $5,000 stipend annually to a School of Art student with an interest in design who plans to study abroad. Like the spring semester recipient, Angus Buchanan-Smith, Langehough will be attending the Berlin University of the Arts design program.
"I am so appreciative to receive the James Craig and Irene Scala Designing with Type Award," Langehough says. "Their book, Designing with Type, helped me to learn about the basics of letterforms when I first began my typographic studies. Receiving this stipend will not only help make my semester abroad more comfortable and eventful, but I feel that I have been given a bit of positive acknowledgment from the very best in the world of type design."
A native of Montclaire, New Jersey, Langehough grew up with artist parents who encouraged him to be creative. "I particularly remember systematically going through their extensive collection of monograph books and finding a collection of World War II propaganda posters," Langehough says. "These images helped me connect the dots between my interest in comic books and the way intense graphics and type functioned together." Langehough has focused his interest in graphic design. "I particularly enjoy using a handmade approach to creating images for poster graphics, clothing items and other consumer products," he says.
"Irene and I had the pleasure of meeting Ian and are happy to support his studies abroad. He impressed us with his enthusiasm and broad interests, and we look forward to getting together on his return to see what he has gained from his experiences," James Craig (A'63) says. A former design director at Watson‑Guptill Publications who taught Typography 1 at The Cooper Union from 1978 to 2008, he presently conducts workshops at leading design schools around the world. Mr. Craig established the award to encourage School of Art students to study abroad.
"I felt that The Berlin University of the Arts design program matched my area of interest and could provide a new set of challenges to broaden my skill set," Langehough says. "While there I hope to take advantage of the interdisciplinary fields of study to give me a new perspective on the way the world visually communicates."

Close your eyes for a moment and it is oh-so easy to imagine Paul Smith as that misty-eyed dreamer perched at the back of your Sixth Form class. Already in thrall to the twin pursuits of romance and disappointment, you picture him staring longingly out of the window at some distant object of his affection, pen scratching rhythmically against the back of his heart-adorned exercise book. Fast forward through the months and years into adulthood, he remains the same wistful idealist. He still falls in love at the drop of a bookmark; his scotch-taped heart still splits at a cruel word. He is, in essence, a perennial romantic.
However, whilst keeping such a degree of childlike wonder is hair-rufflingly sweet, it is necessary for certain things to bloom in time. And throughout Smith's debut solo record, the nagging concern is that his ostentatious lyrics still haven't significantly developed beyond the covers of that exercise book. And as any of us who ever scribbled poems as a teenager only to discover them in later life are painfully aware, this isn't a good thing. Within the comfortable confines of Maxïmo Park, these lines of bewilderment are veiled and blanketed by enough energy and adrenaline to render them passable and vaguely endearing. Margins on the other hand, is Smith attempting to strike out as an alternative, experimental songwriter with an intense, literal scope to his work. And though the quality of the music is certainly worthy of interest, the skeletal and hushed timbres only serve to place uncomfortable focus upon a set of lyrics that are at best pleasantly shambolic and at worst irritatingly pretentious.
The entirety of the record is studded with lyrical combinations that seek to overlap in a stream-of-consciousness tapestry but simply end up feeling unhappy, cramped and awkward: weary commuters clustered on an overheating train. By far the worst (but certainly not the only) offender is 'The Heat' which consists of obtuse, cut-and-paste pronunciations from a scrapbook that appear to have precious little purpose or coherence. Crude examples are strewn about the album; at times it borders on the comical ("I couldn't rest/so instead I made a mess" from 'The Crush and the Shatter') and at other times causes you to insert your fist into your mouth so hard and fast, it pretty much fractures teeth ("In a bed and breakfast in Brighton/I can't consent to kissing with the lights on"). If it was limited to the occasional aside, you could happily wave it through as post-modern irony. But after encountering the same forced and unhappy marriages over and over again, it becomes distinctly unpalatable. Throughout it all, he never sounds entirely comfortable singing the lines. It is almost as if he knows he's not quite up to the chalk mark he sets for himself.
That's not to say he can't occasionally crystallise the elements in to some sort of eerily pretty seam. 'While You're In The Bath' is touching, a delicate web of finger-picking woven into a patchwork of heartbreak under the sorrowful gaze of moistened eyes. And 'I Wonder If' sees his strangely fearful and for once effective lyrics covered with the creeping ivy of unsettled guitar. Indeed, the music is both intelligently performed and produced with just the right combination of dirt and polish to bring out the authenticity, reverb echoing spookily through each vaults and corridor. The same can be said of the morass of intertwined guitar lines that criss-cross each song, adding a disconcerting texture and tease behind his consistently striking and tender vocals; moving to occupy a landscape somewhere between Leonard Cohen and Jarvis Cocker Again though, beyond the quality found within the sonic palate, the structure and adventure of the songs can be bafflingly benign. Too often, you find yourself sitting through two or three tracks simply waiting for something to spark into flame. Overall, the album is infuriatingly one-paced and fails to grasp your attention with enough conviction to genuinely emphasise with Smith's demons and desires.
It is laudable for Smith to try and eschew the eccentric frontman label in favour of something more cerebral. But in attempting to reach for the moon, he ends up merely stalled and snagged, dangling awkwardly from an unwieldy scaffold of clumsy platitude and hollow couplets.

If kde 4.0.4 is very slow and unstable (this was my unfortunate experience), than why would kde 4.1 be any better ? Ok you fix a bunch of bugs, but you also add a lot of new functionality..

the functionality is added much more in non-critical components
so your comparison is error-prone!

Re: kde
Learn to think?
I am repeatedly disappointed by personal attacks on the dot.
A more considerate approach might be to inquire what problems the poster had, and perhaps point them to useful information. Many people had issues with composite performance in KDE 4. The blame either lies with QT, KDE or drivers depending on who you ask. The odd thing is that Intel, Nvidia, and ATI users can all use composite effects via Compiz without problems, so I'm not sure the issue lies with video drivers.
I could be mistaken.

The statement was directed at the poster's lack of logic/ knowledge: SVN trunk not only contains bug-fixes and features, but also *optimisations*. "Learn to think" may have been undiplomatic, but it remains the case that the poster's logic had a critical flaw that anyone in the know would have picked up on instantly.

"I am repeatedly disappointed by personal attacks on the dot."
What you consider "personal attacks" is not necessarily that. You accused me of a "personal attack", when I called your complaining in the other discussion "whining". I don't consider that to be a "personal attack", any more than calling your complaining as "complaining" would be.
Yes, I think the comment about "learning to think" was called for. The person basically said that since he has problems with 4.0.4, 4.1 is goiung to suck as well. There is exactly zero logic behind that statement, and calling the person out for that lack of logic is not a "personal attack".

Re: kde
>> I am repeatedly disappointed by personal attacks on the dot.
That is quite clearly your problem and not anyone else's.
>> A more considerate approach might be to inquire what problems the poster had
If a poster actually raises a specific, valid point, then yes. If they just complain generally in a negative manner, then it's not worth anyone's effort.
>>I could be mistaken.
By Leo S at Fri, 2008/05/30 - 5:00am
Re: kde
You're both suggesting that personal attacks don't happen here, and that the poster had no point.
So I guess absolutely no one had issues with the KDE 4 release.

Re: kde
Not to speak for anyone else, but it seems to me they were suggesting that your definition of a "personal attack" differs from theirs. Also, with regard to the poster you refer to, it seems his only point was to be negative and critical. He made no specific complaint for anyone to respond to, therefore there was nothing constructive about it. If the obvious intent of a poster is to be critical, that poster shouldn't get all defensive when he/she is called out for it.

Re: kde
"Learn to think" is analagous to calling someone an idiot. That is a far cry from saying "please be more specific so we can help you with your problem".
Calling someone an idiot is a personal attack, plain and simple.
Even if the poster wasn't specific, the poster wasn't alone in encountering bugs, plasma crashes, slowdowns, etc. Some people don't feel comfortable debugging issues.
Daniel stated that "it was unfortunate experience". That hardly sounds like a troll. It came across to me like someone concerned, raising a question of whether or not he would have better luck with 4.1.
One could respond with the staggering number of bugs closed since the 4.0 launch, or one can respond calling the poster an idiot. I can't understand defending the latter.

Re: kde
actually we are on an international site, where the way people word what they type has different meanings.
To me, his statement telling him learn to think was not calling him an idiot, that was you who put that meaning into it. Instead he was trying to get across the point that progression brings improvement. However you have again T. J. decided to carry something on far past it's used by date. Would of been over within a few posts but you have to keep it going like a troll
Re: kde
"actually we are on an international site, where the way people word what they type has different meanings. "
I am French and I would take it the same way as he did. Telling someone to learn to think is akin to say he's retarded and needs to be fixed.
I am curious to know in what country someone would take it well to hear from the mouth of a stranger that he needs to learn to think.
Re: kde
KDE 4.1 is way more mature than KDE 4.0.4. I've been running it (4.1 alpha1) since release day, a few crashes while I've configured plasma, but no more crashes since the latest updates. Everything looks stable. The Panel is finally configurable and kwin doesn't crash all the time when compositing is enabled... Oh, and konsole is transparent now - YES!
Let's look at kde4.1/kwin: It's way more stable, compositing is way more reliable, but many new effects were added (e.g. wobby windows). 4.0 was the first public iteration of the core + a basic desktop. 4.0.X were mainly bugfixes. 4.1 is the next iteration of the core plus more addons (too simplified, but you'll get the point). So adding features and fixing core bugs doesn't harm each other.... That's what the attacker meant (although I dislike the posters style).
Hope this helps.
By Treffer at Fri, 2008/05/30 - 5:00am
Re: kde
thankfully we've also worked on stability and performance.
one can work on multiple dimensions of software at once, and this community is just amazingly dynamic. so not only do we get more features, we also get more of the other nice things too.
this is just like in kde3 when we kept getting new features and more speed in each release =)
By Aaron Seigo at Fri, 2008/05/30 - 5:00am
Re: kde
I found KDE 4 to be amazingly slow on my computer when it first came out. I think I even commented to Aaron about this on dot, asking if it would be just as fast on an older computer.
My experience has been that with each release KDE 4 has blown away it's competition.
Thanks to all who work their butts off and get more complaints than compliments some times. I appreciate being able to use KDE
By R. J. at Sat, 2008/05/31 - 5:00am
Re: kde
Yeah, it's just like that KDE3 and its apps that kept on giving the SIGSEGV goodness until the KDE 3.3 release. And even then, I found plenty of ways to crash the apps in 3.4 and 3.5, much more ways than I'd ever see from Gnome.
What KDE would be without some SIGSEGV goodness from time to time.
Re: kde
Then thankfully Gnome exists for you to use, wouldn't you say?
By cirehawk at Sat, 2008/05/31 - 5:00am
Re: kde
I've had that bug at the most 3 times. Please, tell me what you're doing wrong - I've been trying to deliberately crash the whole operating system for ages, even using a virtual machine with Windows XP installed while multi-tasking in KDE.
Of course, you could always use Vista, with it's high incompatibility rate, high cost, low security and lack of freedom to do whatever the hell you want with it. Somehow, I think that's the kind of thing you'd like if you enjoy crashes so much.

Planete Beranger
Doesnt anyone else find it strange that a programmer such as this Beranger guy attacks Free Software projects left and right (GNOME, KDE, and XFCE - calling them all crap, insulting the developers by calling them morons, idiots, etc)?
I also find it strange that he has not contributed to ANY Free Software project, yet claims to have been involved with Free Software since 1994, especially since hes a software developer.
But then you look at his resume and we find what? Windows Developer
Now the picture becomes clear: he insults Free Software projects and developers because Free Software is a threat to his job. Hes a Microsoft shill if there ever was one.
By Dan O'Brian at Fri, 2008/05/30 - 5:00am
Re: Planete Beranger
I dunno, I quite like him - he is very outspoken and abrasive but I think you have to realise he has a bit of a sense of humour :-)
Btw, how's Beranger relevant to this article?
By Simon at Fri, 2008/05/30 - 5:00am
Re: Planete Beranger
Don't let Beranger bother you, no one cares what he says anyway. Let him go on an ego trip if that's what makes him happy.

Fear Opensuse?
It seems people doing reviews fear OpenSUSE. They always compare recent releases of K and Ubuntu with old releases of OpenSUSE. Leads to very boring reading.
Re: Fear Opensuse?
The release candidate for openSUSE 11 didn't come out until yesterday I do believe, and openSUSE beta 3 had some serious show-stopper bugs from what I read.
I've heard the new openSUSE 11 installer is a huge improvement, but I guess we'll discover that when it is released.
By T. J. Brumfield at Sat, 2008/05/31 - 5:00am
Re: Fear Opensuse?
I'm using 11.0 since Beta 2 on a production system and had no problems, apart from a kernel update after which the files in /boot were not updated properly. That didn't really pose a problem, because I just reinstalled in <20 minutes and got the system back to normal in another 10 minutes.
By Stefan Majewsky at Sat, 2008/05/31 - 5:00am
Re: Fear Opensuse?
I agree with you, I've been using 11 since the alpha's on a production computer, and have had no problems with it.
And too my knowledge there were no showstoppers, and RC 1 one came out on schedule.
Re: Fear Opensuse?
I didn't say RC 1 wasn't on schedule. I believe it was set to be released on the 29th, but I couldn't download it until yesterday. 1 day to propogate to a mirror is quite acceptable to me. I have been following the releases, and checking on the bugs.
Mind you, this isn't a complete list of bugs (they say something like 500 bugs were closed between Beta 3 and RC1) but the most annoying.
By T. J. Brumfield at Sun, 2008/06/01 - 5:00am
Re: Fear Opensuse?
most annoying bugs, doesn't mean they are show stoppers. Please provide the list of show stoppers
Download what? If you are using the beta's you just upgrade using the factory repositories. I guess you haven't been using it, or don't really know what you are doing.
Re: Fear Opensuse?
I use Gentoo currently, but am looking for a distro for my work laptop (plan to dual-boot and show off Linux as I had been trying to convince the rest of the IT department to consider it as part of our new desktop rollout, at least to replace our old Mac users), as well as my mother's new computer and was considering openSUSE. My laptop needs the proprietary Nvidia drivers, so not being able to put those in the kernel is a bit of a show stopper. Not being able to boot after an update is a show stopper. Grub having problems with different partitions is a show stopper. Etc, etc. etc.
I've heard very good things about openSUSE's KDE packages specifically, and the few times I've tried it, I've been fairly happy.
I downloaded the install KDE CD, and it wouldn't boot on two different computers I tried, and so I was trying to download the DVD, but couldn't find anyone seeding it for a day.
Given that I was following the prescribed instructions on openSUSE's website, clearly I don't know what I was doing.
By T. J. Brumfield at Mon, 2008/06/02 - 5:00am
Re: Fear Opensuse?
By fnord at Mon, 2008/06/02 - 5:00am
Re: Fear Opensuse?
depends on when you downloaded the opensuse KDE Live CD. Beta 1 had a problem with the live CD. The single CD is a live CD, not an install cd, it boots into the live desktop and you install it from there. But again, I have seen no mention of people having problems with loading into the live desktop since beta one. Perhaps you can supply the link to the bug report you filed over this?
My computer has Nvidia drivers, and I have no problem with it, and the Nvidia drivers for OpenSUSE 11 are not released during the alpha, beta, or RC, they are released by Nvidia when 11 is final.
I have no problem rebooting after an update. But like I said, can you provide links that show these as show stoppers, if not they are just bugs which will be marked and fixed, not show stoppers. Actually reading the news lists there is no mention by any of the developers of showstoppers.
By anon at Mon, 2008/06/02 - 5:00am
Re: Fear Opensuse?
It looks like the RC1 CD is supposed to be a Live CD as well. However, on a brand new desktop, and on an older desktop, it would mount the CD, load the kernel, and then try to mount the compressed image, and hang there. 2 minutes later, a reboot.
I verified the MD5, and burned the disc twice. I used rewritable discs, but I doubt that was an issue.

I've been a member of FoodBuzz for a couple of years now and one of the benefits - besides the $17/month in ad revenue (click the banner ads - click click click!) - they send me products to try from time to time.
I had some chicken thighs and breasts in the freezer so I decided to try my hand at making some "chicken nuggets".
It was pretty easy - you just cut the chicken up, throw the pieces in a ziploc bag with the pouch of seasoning and then fry them. I used a big stock pot and put 1/4-1/2" oil in the bottom of the pot - mainly so I would have a lid and dropped them in once the oil was bubbling.
I really have never fried things like this before and it's a bit messy - every time you lift the lid - splatter splatter! But it wasn't difficult at all and thankfully I bought some cheap metal tongs at the flea market the weekend before!
I was surprised at the amount of flavor that the coating mix did have - I'm not a huge fan of ginger but it wasn't overwhelming. Overall - I'm not sure I would purchase this product - but I will definitely use the second pouch from the box.
I think I just don't fry things enough to really buy the product - but since it wasn't difficult - I would recommend it if you like homemade chicken nuggets. It's also recommended with fish - I'll likely use the second pouch for that to try it out.
The Kikkoman website also has recipes for the product as well.
Green Bean Delivery a while back had a couple squash and what a refreshing change from corn & broccoli!
Thanks to FoodBuzz and Kikkoman for letting me try your new product!

Abbott separates its R&D arm
Abbott separates its R&D arm to give birth to AbbVie
Singapore: Abbott has decided to separate its research-based pharmaceuticals business, which will be known as AbbVie. Abbott also declared a special dividend distribution of all of the outstanding shares of AbbVie common stock.
AbbVie will be a research-based specialty biopharmaceuticals company with a broad portfolio of medicines, including leadership in immunology and virology, and a pipeline of breakthrough therapies. Abbott will be remain a science-based healthcare company with diversified market-leading offerings in diagnostics, medical devices, nutritionals and branded generic pharmaceuticals.
For every share of Abbott common shares held, Abbott shareholders will receive one share of AbbVie common stock. No fractional shares of AbbVie will be issued. Shareholders will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. The special dividend distribution is expected to be paid on January 1, 2013, to Abbott shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 12, 2012.
Abbott received a private ruling from the US Internal Revenue Service, for US federal income tax purposes, that the distribution of AbbVie common stock is tax-free to US holders of Abbott common stock. However, cash received in lieu of fractional shares may be taxable to such holders. Abbott expects to mail the information statement to all shareholders entitled to receive the distribution of shares of AbbVie common stock in mid-December.
"The announcement marks another important milestone toward the completion of our business separation," said Dr Miles D White, chairman and chief executive officer, Abbott. "Abbott and AbbVie are well-positioned to begin 2013 as leaders in their respective markets," he added.

Original 'Enchanted Tiki Room' Hosts Squawking up a Storm Again, Giving Guests Even More to Chirp (and 'Tweet') About
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – Do you like Disney entertainment "heritage� Aspire to keep a fitness routine on schedule during vacation? Love music? Art? Sports "spectating� Food and drink adventures? Theme park parties celebrating Halloween or the holidays?
For fun-seekers with any of those passions and special interests, fall 2011 is a season to make some memories at Walt Disney World Resort. Here's a look at what's in store from Labor Day through Thanksgiving …
A 'Tropical Serenade' rekindling memories
The Sunshine Pavilion, featuring a show variously known as "Tropical Serenade†and "The Enchanted Tiki Birds,†debuted on Oct. 1, 1971, in Magic Kingdom. In 1998, following substantial refurbishment, it re-launched as The Enchanted Tiki Room – Under New Management, with two famous Disney birds – Iago from Aladdin and Zazu from The Lion King – taking control and trying to spruce up the show.
The "new management†has been let go and the future of the Adventureland landmark is in the wings and wit of José, Fritz, Michael and Pierre – four crooning parrot hosts who ushered in sophisticated Audio-Animatronics technology at California's Disneyland in 1963 at The Enchanted Tiki Room.
In time for fall 2011 vacations, The Enchanted Tiki Room (as the Magic Kingdom attraction now will be called) is being prepared to reflect the show at Disneyland that represents a milestone in Disney theme park entertainment. While Walt Disney's creative team previously had produced movable figures, none had the sophistication of the bird-brained cast of the Tiki Room. José, Fritz, Michael and Pierre produce movements when solenoid coils hidden inside receive signals recorded onto magnetic tape and are regarded as the first "true†Audio-Animatronics figures.
They introduce a musical presentation by more than 200 birds, flowers and tikis. Even the audience gets into the act, joining in during the musical ditty "Let's All Sing Like the Birdies Sing.â€
The Enchanted Tiki Room (tentatively slated for opening in August 2011) has shows throughout Magic Kingdom operating hours.
Sweet views and a whole lot more
Fourteen floors up in the iconic Disney's Contemporary Resort tower, guests who don't want to take a vacation from a wellness lifestyle will have a new haven – 23 luxury rooms and suites that exude relaxation and fitness, complete with panoramic views of Bay Lake or Magic Kingdom and Seven Seas Lagoon.
The luxury accommodations (scheduled to be available beginning late fall 2011) will feature eco-friendly décor like bamboo flooring, 100-percent cotton linens and non-allergenic wrapped mattresses. Bathrooms will be equipped with rainwater showers and tea tree oil.
Fourteenth-floor guests also can enjoy the benefit of having cardio equipment right in their room. And they'll have daily access to seasonal and organic fresh foods at the concierge lounge and can enjoy yoga sessions and spa treatments at the resort's renovated wellness studio.
Booking information is available from the Disney Reservation Center (407-934-7639) or a local travel agent.
Events to suit all sorts of tastes
Some of the most popular and enduring special events at Walt Disney World Resort happen during the fall. Here are snapshots:
 Disney's Night of Joy – TobyMac, MercyMe, newsboys, Jeremy Camp, Jars of Clay and Skillet will headline one of the most-decorated lineups in the 29-year history of Disney's contemporary Christian music event Sept. 9 and Sept. 10, 2011, in Magic Kingdom. The 16 artists have a 20-year legacy of accolades – 70 GMA Dove Awards and eight GRAMMY® Awards including reigning Christian music Artist of the Year (Francesca Battistelli). Night of Joy is an after-hours event that requires a special ticket. Event hours are 7:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. each evening. More information is available at www.nightofjoy.com.
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party – The headless horseman romps down Main Street, U.S.A. aboard his steed, ghostly apparitions flit among the buildings of Magic Kingdom, Cinderella Castle is draped in eerie hues and the night sky is painted with bursts of orange and green fireworks during this popular after-hours Magic Kingdom party on 23 select autumn evenings between Sept. 13 and Nov. 1, 2011. The special-ticket event features trick-or-treating throughout the park, "Happy HalloWishes†fireworks spectacular, "Mickey's Boo-to-You Halloween Parade†– including Disney characters and the stars of the Haunted Mansion attraction – and the opportunity to experience popular attractions. Information about dates and tickets is available at www.disneyworld.com/halloween.
Epcot International Food & Wine Festival – A veritable world of culinary adventures is on the menu Sept. 30-Nov. 13, 2011, during the 16th edition of the festival presented by Vanity Fair Napkins. The journey along the promenade around World Showcase Lagoon includes more than two dozen marketplaces where everyone from neophytes to epicures and aficionados can nibble and sip their way across six continents of food and beverage adventures. Talented culinarians from across America and around the world will be involved with specialty dinners, seminars featuring cooking demonstrations and wine tastings, the popular Saturday night grand tastings – Party for the Senses – and more. The festival also will feature the popular Eat to the Beat! concert series each evening. Details are available at www.disneyworld.com/foodandwine.
Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic – PGA TOUR thrillers have been the norm in this $4.7 million season-ending event on Disney's Magnolia and Palm courses. Twelve of the most recent 16 editions of the pro golf event have been decided by one stroke or a playoff. A field of 128 players will tee off in the 41st Classic Oct. 20-23, 2011. The 2010 winner was Robert Garrigus. More information: www.ChildrensMiracleNetworkClassic.com.
Festival of the Masters – Nearly 150 award-winning artists who turn clay, wood, metals, oils, watercolors and more into creations that treat the eyes – such as paintings, jewelry, sculptures and photographs – will show off their works Nov. 11-13 at Downtown Disney. One of the Southeast's most highly regarded juried art festivals since 1975, Festival of the Masters features live entertainment and family-friendly activities each day. Admission and parking are complimentary. For more information, guests may visit www.disneyworld.com/artfestival.
Old Spice Classic – The eight-team college basketball tournament again will be held over Thanksgiving weekend – Thursday, Friday and Sunday, Nov. 24, 25 & 27, 2011 – at the HP Field House at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.

The Old Spice Classic will feature 12 games over the three days. Each team will compete in one game per day, advancing through a bracket-tournament format. The two teams that remain undefeated throughout will face off in a championship match Sunday, Nov. 27. Additional information can be found on the Old Spice Classic website at www.OldSpiceClassic.com.
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party – On 19 select evenings between Nov. 8 and Dec. 18, 2011, guests can experience the enchantment of Castle Dream Lights on Cinderella Castle plus two special entertainment extravaganzas, "Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade†and the holiday-themed fireworks spectacular, "Holiday Wishes-Celebrate the Spirit of the Season.â€Â The special after-hours party, which requires a separate admission ticket, also features live Disney character stage shows, character greetings, cookies and cocoa, and even "snow†on Main Street, U.S.A. More details are available at www.DisneyWorld.com/holidays.

Dealership Information
" First time ever no hassle when buying a new car!!! "
" I have been a customer of Price Toyota for almost 20 years. I have always had great service and I love that all repairs are clearly explained. Whenever I have financial issues they always work with me to ensure I take care of the most urgent issues first and explain what could be delayed to the next or future visits. "
" I've purchased my last three vehicles from Price Toyota, the last one only 2 days ago. I've always had a great experience and will most likely continue to buy my cars from Price. Besides the excellent sales team the service department at Price is great. They've always been extremely helpful and keep me on the road. "
" The service and experience was great! I would highly recommend this team to anyone who's looking to buy "
" Responsive "
" I traded my 2011 4Runner with 223,000 miles for another 4Runner. Transaction was very easy. I did not feel the need to test drive the new 4Runner therefore I came in with a value of the new truck and my old truck in mind. They met both requirements. Signed the paper work and took the new truck home. Very nice staff. No bad cop good cop kinda scenario. No power sales tactic. Just easy transaction. "
" Your Collision Department and specifically Kevin was great to deal with! I would highly recommend your dealership for repairs and service.(JD) Thank you, John Lloyd "
" I would recommend buying from Prince Toyota. Great service and prices. Corey Davenport was able to get me in a car I love. "
" My experience with Price Toyota has been incredible. Price Toyota really make you feel comfortable when dealing with you and work 100% with you to give you the best deal possible. In the past year I have bought 2 cars from them and they are the best in the business. I'm really thankful to all in Price Toyota for working with me in getting what I wanted and giving the best deals, special thank you to my favorite sales lady, Elaine. She is the best in helping you get what u want. Her experience, professionalism is the best. I also have to thank the people in the financial Dpt for getting best deal. Thank You all. Keep it up. "
" The Price team is always on time with servicing my truck. They are friendly and offer plenty of snacks and beverages while I wait. Positive experience all around. "
" We own three Toyota's . This dealer's service has improved greatly over visits 7-10 years ago . Yes we used another Toyota dealer that was quite a bit out of our way , until they damaged one of those vehicles . That dealership finally did the right thing , but it took a good year and a half for them to repair the vehicle . "
" I walked into this dealership not knowing what to expect I was immediately greeted with this great smile with the personality to match. He made me feel very comfortable from the beginning I needed this because this was my first big purchase on my own after losing my husband a month ago. The transaction was great from beginning to end. All of the staff was warm and friendly which made this an easy purchase for me from the nice guy who showed me vehicles of my interest Mike Casper , Eugena (which I may have spelled her name incorrectly) to Ernie with a great sense of humor that drew up all my documents to complete the deal. I must say though had I not had the greeting I did from Mike Casper I definitely would not have made a purchase that day. Thank you all for making my experience a great one I'll definitely be back for my next purchase!! "
" Purchased a 2006 Miata from Price Toyota, it was in pristine condition. My salesman Nick Tarabicos was amazing, awesome guy and really helpful. Smooth process and no pushy sales. Thanks guys! "
" Good sales crew and all around friendly staff. "
" It was my first time buying a car on my own and the sales specialist, Ernest Thomas, made the process quick, easy and comfortable. Since I more or less already knew what I was looking for he gave a quick run down of the car itself and quickly worked up a working deal that met the budget requirements. At no moment did I feel pressured into any warranty or any extra add ons which I appreciated tremendously being that it was my first time going through any of this. The purchasing process itself worked out smoothly and Ernest made sure that I got my car at it's best & that I left there a happy customer. I 100% would recommend Price Toyota and Ernest to anyone looking to buy a car!! "
" I recently joined the Toyota family buying a 2020 4runner. Not only was the sales staff friendly, and full of knowledge for every vehicle I was interested in purchasing but they made me feel comfortable and confident in my decision to buy at this dealership specifically. After years of issues with several Dodge products I have owned I am sure that I will be a loyal Toyota owner for life!! Thnx for such an awesome experience. "
" Service Department: I have been a Price Toyota customer for 4 years since purchasing a used vehicle there. Three words best describe my Service Experience at Price Toyota: Trust, Customer Service, Expensive. I can always trust that any problem with our vehicle will be appropriately diagnosed and clearly communicated to me before service is performed and always able to trust that the work has been done correctly by trained mechanics using genuine Toyota parts. The Service Department at Price Toyota is perhaps the best service experience I have had when it comes to customer experience. The service writers I have worked with are always attentive and able to accurately transcribe what was going on with the vehicle. They are also able to related a diagnosis clearly. The entire Service Department - everyone who has customer contact is pleasant and professional. The service area is clean, checking your car in is easy, the waiting area large and is clean and comfortable. They no longer provide a shuttle service however do provide Lyft service that is included in the cost of service (complimentary). The value that I have received at Price is fair given the service provided. Expect to pay more for the high level of service compared to other non-dealer service centers. If trust and exceptional customer service are important to you then you will find the cost difference worth it. Recognize that all reputable auto service centers will point out areas that may need to be serviced right away or at some time in the future. The Service Writers at Price will be sure to point out ALL possible areas of additional service that they can perform. Just be sure to question whether or not it is actually needed at this point in time and to ask for a cost estimate before agreeing to it. Not all recommended service is required. I will without question be returning to Price Toyota for future service however continuing to have basic maintenance (oil changes, multi-point inspections, filter and wiper changes, etc) done at less expensive shops. I highly recommend Price Toyota Service for their exceptional customer service and their trustworthiness. "
" I always have a great experience at Price Toyota! JD always does a great job and he is much appreciated! Will always return for service because of him! "
" I called to get an appointment for service on my truck and was surprised that they could get me in the next day. I've had toyotas since 2007 and this is the only dealership that I let touch my vehicles. They are fair and honest and always greet you with a smile. If you want it done right the first time, go to Price Toyota. "
" Your service department does very good job. They always check for recalls, perform multi point inspection. They always carefully listen to your needs, check everything if you have any concerns. My special thanks to Marissa Curti. She always takes good care of my vehicles. "
" Great customer satisfaction "
" The excellent customer service at Price Toyota is the reason I keep coming back to this dealership. I've been with the car manufacture for over 20 years in different cities but I recently replaced the radiator on my Land Cruiser with over 200K miles and I'm glad I took it to Price. Their service and parts were reasonable compared to other estimates I received. The difference is they make you feel like family at Price. Keep up the great work, Jamar and Raeshel! "
" The service exceeded my expectations and Dylan was simply excellent! . "
" This has been my dealer for the last 6 year At first I bought a lease 2014 Toyota Corolla S after lease I decided to keep the car and at the end of the 2017 I decided to purchased my lease. They maintained my car for everything with little complained at the end I was satisfied then I lost that car 2014 on an accident 2018 with the money I got I purchased a 2017 Toyota Corolla LE then they were some issued I went to dealer 3 times at the end they decided to fixed my car it was an issued with my car model I guess and they paid for my rental for a week since that happened yes they still some concerned but so far dealer had come through I'm about to go back for my change of oil and I hoping I get another good service and a good price on the change of oil like I said with some up and down situations I have had I'm still satisfied with my dealer up to now. Yes there are some people more pleasant that others but overall good customer service and I usually get a reminder about my change of oil in the mail I don't know now once we owed vehicle I can go anywhere but I trust Toyota Care in my car. I had visited the Newark location twice and I also loved there is just a little far away from me. I also received an excellent service there too. Looking forward for my next visit next month. "
" (Translated by Google) Very good service (Original) Muy buen servicio "
" Toyota reliability "
" Bought another car here. Charlie Sheets is great to deal with if you need a car. My service experience at Price has been great too! "
" During the middle of January, right after having a bad experience with another dealership, my wife and I decided to head down to Delaware to check out Price Toyota. We were greeted by Specialist Mike Casper. We told him exactly what we were in the market for and he let us know that he would be able to help us. He was very pleasant and patient as we looked at and test drove several vehicles. Considering that Price Toyota is haggle free, he didn't pressure us to get a more expensive car, he allowed us to pick what we wanted, without issue. On top of that, we had a trade in in which we got much more on what we thought it would be worth. When it came to financing, the Financing Manger was also as kind and courteous as Mike was. In fact, all the staff that we met was pleasant to deal with, not like at other dealerships that I have been to. Due to our experience, when it comes time to replace my wife's car, Price Toyota will be the first and only dealer ship that we will go to. "
" Charles Sheets my salesman was great "

The bleomycins are a family of glycopeptide-derived antibiotics isolated from various Streptomyces species and have been the subject of much attention from the scientific community as a consequence of their antitumor activity. Bleomycin clinically and is an integral part of a number of combination chemotherapy regimens. It has previously been shown that bleomycin has the ability to selectively target tumor cells over their non-malignant counterparts. Pyrimidoblamic acid, the N-terminal metal ion binding domain of bleomycin is known to be the moiety that is responsible for O2 activation and the subsequent chemistry leading to DNA strand scission and overall antitumor activity. …

Riley Carbonneau
Class of 2010
Major/Minor: Art History, Sociology
Riley Carbonneau '10, a double major in sociology and art history, was determined to find an internship experience that applied to both her majors. With the help of The Washington Center, Riley spent a semester in Washington, D.C., where she worked with the education and outreach branch of the Smithsonian Institution.
In her role in the Regional Programs Division, Riley designed professional education workshops, funded by grants from the Department of Education, to introduce innovative teaching methods to teachers across the nation. Her favorite project, called ArtSmart, showed teachers from Lafayette, Louisiana how to incorporate the arts into the classroom.
"The teachers learn to teach math and science using portraiture, artifacts, theater, songs, all the arts," Riley said. "It made a lot of sense to me, and it was really interesting because it was such a different approach to teaching kids things that can sometimes be boring."
As part of her internship, Riley worked closely with the Smithsonian's museums, including the Museum of Natural History, the National Portrait Gallery, and the Air and Space Museum, as well as museums outside the Smithsonian, including the Spy Museum, the Newseum, and the Holocaust Memorial Museum.
"I got to work mainly with the education departments in the museums," she said. "It was interesting to go behind the scenes in some of the places I'd toured."
Riley also had plenty of time to explore the city and its many cultural offerings. "D.C. was just great—great restaurants, museums, and really motivated students from around the country and abroad," she said.
"I worked right on the mall, so on our lunch hour, the other intern in the office and I would go see an IMAX film or a new exhibit. The Museum of American History reopened while I was there, as did a lot of other exhibits. It was an exciting time to be at the Smithsonian," Riley said.
In addition to the sightseeing and interning she did in D.C., Riley also took a sociology course through The Washington Center. The class, held one evening a week, was part of the Center's arrangement with schools, including Washington College, that allows students to receive full academic credit for a semester's internship.
Riley chose the course, called "Population, Gender, and the Environment," because of its relevance to her major in sociology. Taught by a professor from Georgetown University, it covered "how to develop rural countries in environmentally sound ways and how to work with the people in the countries where the gender rules are different," Riley said. "About half the class was from Latin America, and the professor was from Argentina, so it was a real learning experience," she added.
Her semester in D.C. helped Riley learn more about different career paths she could pursue. "As an art history major, you sometimes feel like your options are limited within the field. Museum education is a way to combine my interests and still get to be around art in the museum setting," she said, adding that she plans to attend grad school—preferably in the capital—to earn a degree in museum education or arts management.
"I was really lucky and found out it was something I was really interested in, so it helped clarify my career goals," Riley said.
Her experience was so positive that she would do it again in a heartbeat.
"Applying wasn't any harder than applying to college, and it's totally worth it. The great thing about The Washington Center is you get the full 16 credits for the semester. They're also great about finding you really high-quality internships and providing housing," she said.
Riley also recommends the internship program to other students, advising "If you think you want a career in something, you need to try it out and see. I can't stress enough the importance of getting experience in the field."
