MythStatusScreenlet 0.2.1 released (Support for MythTV 0.23 and above)
Announcing a new release of MythStatusScreenlet. This version supports the MythTV 0.23 xml format.
In reality, it's the same as the 0.22 xml format, so I've just changed the code to look for >= 0.22. This should work until the format changes again.
As usual, get the updated version from Gnome Look.
MythStatusScreenlet 0.2.0 released (MythTV 0.22 support)
I am pleased to announce the latest release of the MythStatusScreenlet. Version 0.2.0 supports the new MythTV 0.22 XML format.
Many thanks to Mike Loeffler for the patch and testing with Myth 0.22.
As always, get it from Gnome Look
MythStatusScreenlet 0.1.1 released (theme support)
I'm pleased to announce the 0.1.1 release of the MythStatusScreenlet. This release now is "theme-able". I know Screenlets are theme-able already, but the standard theme support really just supports changing the background and other externally loaded graphics (png and svg). UPDATE: It appears I am running an old version of screenlets (0.0.14) and versions 0.1.2 and above have a lot more theme support.
In MythStatusScreenlet 0.1.1, I've extended (subclassed) the Screenlets utils.ini_reader to load extra options for the theme. These options control the layout and style of all the elements of the MythStatusScreenlet. As a proof of concept, I've quickly built a few other themes including "mythbuntu" and "glass". I've renamed the default mepo theme to mepo-transparent, and created a new one for mepo that has a black background. This is because of a comment on the download page saying that a user sometimes found it hard to see the screenlet when backgrounds were changed.
Additionally, there is now support for GTK popups using the Screenlets Notifier class. The MythStatusScreenlet will popup a Notifier window when MythTV starts or finishes a recording.
I've tried to add mouseover tooltips too. However, I've found it to be quite unreliable, so it's turned off by default.
I recently built a new MythTV machine. I installed mythbuntu 8.04 on it, which installed MythTv 0.21 Since then, my myth box no longer presents the Temperature information. I suspect a few other people might have the same problem (based on a comment on the gnome-look site), so I've fixed the code to only try and display the Temperature information if it is present. However, this means that I can't easily test the Temperature display when building the themes. Please post a comment if you have this working, or have problems with it. Does anyone know if Temperature info is no longer presented in Myth 0.21, or is it a MythBuntu thing?
As usual, downloads are at gnome-look.
Firefox 3 and Compiz Fusion animations
I love Firefox 3, and have been running it on my Gutsy desktop since Beta 3. Firefox 3 now integrates into your desktop's skin/theme really nicely, and the upshot of this is that on Linux with Compiz you get to utilise window animations within Firefox.
This sounds great, except that the AwesomeBar and search bar can end up actually being more distracting than useful. The default Gutsy animations in Compiz Fusion (and possibly in Hardy too) are "Glide 2" for open and close animations. Firefox's AwesomeBar and SearchBar animations use the "Utility" window type, so you can just remove Utility from "Glide 2" and add it to another effect. I chose Fade since it was there already, and just added it to the list. Here is a screenshot to better explain it.
Since I did't want the gliding for open or close I added it to Fade, and removed it from Glide 2 in both the Open and Close Animation tabs.
Or, if you want to disable the AwesomeBar completely and go back to the Firefox 2 style, you can apparently set "browser.urlbar.maxRichResults" to "-1" in Firefox's about:config page. The comments in this post explain how to do that.
MythStatusScreenlet 0.0.3 released (Hardy support)
Announcing the long awaited update to the MythStatusScreenlet to support Ubuntu Hardy Heron.
After spending quite a lot of time trying to get ElementTree working, I gave up and just rewrote the XML parsing using simple regular expressions. I know it's a hack, but at least I have something that should work in Hardy.
# – No longer uses xpath, so should now work in Hardy
You can download the latest file from gnome-look. As usual, let me know if you it doesn't work for you.
MythStatusScreenlet 0.0.2 released (MythTV 0.21 support)
I've released a new MythStatusScreenlet. The release notes are below.
# – Now supports MythTV 0.20 and 0.21 xml formats
# – Better handling when backend goes away/comes back
You can download the latest file from gnome-look.
The MythStatus Screenlet is now available
As mentioned on the MythStatus screenlet page, I've tidied up some of the code and posted a tar on the Screenlets Website.
The MythStatus Screenlet polls the XML info page of MythTV's backend (normally port 6544), and parses the XML information to display the status of your backend. It shows the next ten upcoming recordings, highlighting in red, any that are currently recording.
It also shows Last Guide Update status, a disk space graph, Load Average and Temperature as provided by MythTV's XML status page.

The crew gave him the nickname "Cooking King" due to his poor cooking skills. Their jokes about Lee starring in a fake cooking show titled Cooking King Seo-jinnie eventually became the genesis for this show. The fixed casts of the show are South Korean actor, Lee Seo-jin and 2PM's Ok Taec-yeon and addition of Kim Kwang-kyu in season 2. On the program, they live in a little farming country village in the Jeongseon, Gangwon-do province and use whatever food they find there to create three meals. A spin-off titled Three Meals a Day: Fishing Village starred Cha Seung-won, Yoo Hae-jin and Son Ho-jun soon took off due to the high rating the first season generated where they were sent into a remote Island to try on fishing village challenge. The casts for the farming village and fishing village has changed. Cha Seungwon, 'Cha-jumma', and Yoo Haejin, "Cham Bada", have moved from the fishing village to planting rice in Gochang, Jeonbuk, whereas Lee Seojin, who had lived at Jeongseon, Gangwondo, will be entering Deukryangdo, an island 30 minutes away from Nokdong Fishing Port. Something that's a little more different is that Lee Seojin will be driving the boat himself. In this season, Lee Seojin will try to get a fishing boat driver's license, and showing the cast personally driving the boat out to sea with new helpers in Shinhwa's Eric Moon and new actor Yoon KyunSang in Goheung County, Jeolla Province PROGRAM DESCRIPTION Three mean who leaves to find a sincere meal.

Understanding property development finance
There are a number of different forms of financing options available for property developers. These are typically made available to experienced development companies, smaller properties who have at least a small number of "out of the ground" projects to their name or, alternatively, individuals who have worked (or are still working) in the construction industry and are looking to begin a project they can call their own.
With a proven track record, finding finance for this type of business or individual is relatively straightforward assuming that the funding required is appropriate to the development proposal plan.
Lenders for property development projects typically fall into one of three categories.
Tier 1
Tier 1 lenders can help you if the funding requirement is in the region of 60-65% of costs and no more than 50-55% of the gross development value – otherwise as GDV.
Tier 2
Tier 2 lenders may come into play in the event that the funding requirements for a project are higher and a developer requires up to 60% of the land purchase price and 100% of the development costs, assuming that total borrowing is no more than 65% of GDV.
Tier 3
If finance is required up to 80% of costs but no more than 65% of GDV, a tier 3 lender may be able to help. The interest rate on this type of mortgage is typically much higher than those offered by tier 1 lenders and may also include arrangement fees.
What about those with no experience in property development?
Of course, every property developer has to start somewhere. Once planning permission on land that a property developer owns has been secured, a new developer is ready to get finance in place.
In order to get the approval of a lender a robust development plan is required. Lenders will also want to see that an experienced team of contractors are in place to take on the build and management of the project.
As is to be expected, lenders will charge higher rates for this type of mortgage where the risk is perceived to be greater.
Project monitoring
While the experience and expertise of a developer can vary greatly, lenders will often require an independent monitoring surveyor (IMS) no matter how many projects a developer has undertaken in the past. At each stage of a development the IMS will come in to inspect progress and ensure that the project is progressing on budget and that the lender can comfortably release funds for the developer to draw down each tranche.
In some instances, the cost of an IMS can add significant costs to a project and so it is often preferable for smaller developers to consider lenders who are happy for progress to be reported via the certification of the developer's own architect.
Although it is impossible to give exact time frames on securing finance, a six week turnaround is considered the standard. Within this there are a number of variables that can accelerate or slow the process. Typically the most labour intensive and time consuming factor is putting together paperwork in the best format for a lender.
Once the application goes to the lender, the project needs to be valued, underwritten and processed through the IMS and legals. Once this is completed and everything is found to be satisfactory, the first tranche of funds will be released.
Property development bridging finance
If you are looking to access property development finance, seeking expert advice can help to streamline the process and get a project off the ground in the shortest possible timeframe. Should you find that a property development bridging loan is required to assist with the conversion or refurbishment of a project, it is particularly important to seek the right advice.
The advantage of this type of bridging loan is that the finance can usually be secured quickly and efficiently.

Nothing much going on today. I've probably had the best sleep this week! Now I'm super ready for the following months. Working on this event coming up and I can't wait for it to be finally over.
I'm still craving for some Moniegold and Oishi Potato Fries (Cheese Flavor) and I'm in such terrible shape. I'm finally pursuing my decision to get back into sports. I'll just have to let go of some of my part time agendas. I really hate being called skinny. I think the past has tainted my perception of being thin and have triggered it to be such a negative thing for me. A few years back, my weight was something I COULD NOT control, and I went through a lot of "ANG PAYAT MO. You're too thin, kumain ka!" and a lot of "You could probably be blown away by the wind" and several other insults. As much as other girls would love to be in the shape I am in now, it's not something I wish to have. I want the meat, and the curves, and the weight! I cringe when someone calls me "thin". CRINGE.
Exercise, here I come.

Insurance, whether it's for your personal vehicles, home, rental properties or business, it's an important asset when catastrophe happens. However, in today's society insurance is often viewed as somewhat of a maintenance or warranty mechanism. Let's be clear, insurance is no way a maintenance policy.
When catastrophe happens and the event sets you or your business in financial stress, that's when insurance should kick in and restore you or your business back to where you were before the event. A blown car engine is not something insurance covers.
Some policyholders also believe they should get more out of their insurance than what the policy describes or covers. Unfortunately, insurance does not cover "above" restoration of what you have insured. Example, if you insure your 1,800 square foot, 2 story frame home and one day it burns down. You cannot replace or restore it with a 2,800 square foot, 3 story brick home.
So, when should your file a claim with your insurance company? The first step of determining if you actually have a claim is to have a conversation with your insurance agent. Insurance agents are advocates that understand your insurance coverages, exclusions and deductibles. For the most part, insurance agents can quickly identify if a claim should be filed.
The obvious insurance claim, for example, you rear ended another vehicle or your house caught fire, will be an automatic claim. However, there are scenarios where you may be unclear if your insurance policy will cover the loss. Let's say your water heater decides to malfunction one day and your plumber says the equipment needs replacement. Most of the time home insurance policies won't insure against mechanical and electrical breakdown. However, some insurance carriers now will extend coverage for mechanical and electrical breakdown for an additional premium. The key to discovering if you have or need to add this type of coverage to your policy is to have a conversation with your insurance agent.
Another example of when insurance coverage doesn't apply is getting a flat tire. Though your insurance policy may not cover the flat tire, you may be able to at least ask for roadside assistance to have the vehicle towed so long as the coverage is included on the policy. Most auto policies can add roadside assistance, which includes towing, jumpstarts, fuel, tire change, lockout, and winching, for a very small and affordable premium.
Why is it important to file a claim with my insurance agent? Your agent will not only help you understand the coverages on your policy but will guide you through the claims process. Agents also have excellent tips of how to document claims, where to go for repairs, and can advocate on your behalf with claims adjusters. Having a personal relationship with your insurance agent is vital to your claims experience. Agents will help you before, during and after your claim has been filed. Also, some agents have the ability to settle small claims right from their office.
Can you file a claim with an agent after their office hours? Most agents have office hours, typically between 9 AM – 5 PM, Monday through Friday. However, claims don't always happen during this time and some agents have after hours claims reporting lines, whether by phone, email or text messaging. In the event an agent is not available and you really need to speak with someone immediately, you can always count on filing a claim with your insurance carrier.
The bottom line, always communicate with your insurance agent on any issue that may arise. You hope that your never have to experience a day where your property or liability is at stake, but rest assured insurance agents are here to help you with that process.
Of course you can always count on agents to help you with billing, customer service questions, changes to your policy, setting up new insurance, coverages questions, or even just a friendly chat of how life is going. Your agent not only is an advocate for your insurance needs but a local small business owner that experiences the same questions and issues you have too.

By (author) Hussain, Zahid
After September 11, 2001, Pakistan's president, Pervez Musharraf, vowed to fight extremism in his country and has since established himself as a key ally in America's "global war on terror." But as veteran Pakistani journalist and commentator Zahid Hussain reveals in this book, Musharraf is in an impossible position. The Pakistani army and intelligence services are thoroughly penetrated by jihadists. In fact, the current government came into power through its support of radical Islamist groups, such as those fighting in Kashmir. Based on exclusive interviews with key players and grassroots radicals, Hussain exposes the threads of Pakistan's complex political power web and the consequences of Musharraf's decision to support the U.S.'s drive against jihadism, which essentially took Pakistan to war with itself. He recounts the origins and nature of the jihadi movement in Pakistan and Afghanistan, the long-standing and often denied links between militants and Pakistani authorities, the weaknesses of successive elected governments, and the challenges to Musharraf's authority posed by politico-religious, sectarian, and civil society elements within the country.
The jihadi madrassas of Pakistan are incubators of the most feared terrorists in the world. Osama bin Laden himself is believed to be hiding close to the Pakistani border. Although the country's "war on terror" has so far been a stage show, a very real battle is looming, the outcome of which will have grave implications for the future security of the world.

MILLIONS OF CATS Wanda Gag "The first true 'picture book' by an American artist" "Beauty at the heart of all life is the keynote to the work of Wanda Gag and the source of its power, whether expressed in one of her memorable prints or in an intimate picture of the home of the very old man in MILLIONS OF CATS. Clear memory of her own happy childhood and a kinship with all children made her respect their intelligence, and gave them at once ease and joy in their company." WANDA GAG (Pronouced it "Gaag - to rhyme with jog, not with bag please!) " Life without a drawing mood is miserable, miserable, miserable....." "I believe it is just the modern children who need (fairy tales) since their lives are already over-balanced on the side of steel and stone and machinery." - Wanda Gag Once upon a time there was a very old man and a very old woman. They lived in a nice clean house which had flowers all around it, except where the door was. But they couldn't be happy because they were so very lonely. ,d cw<+k vkneh Fkk vkSj ,d cw<+h vkSjr FkhA oks ,d cgqr lkiQ&lqFkjs ?kj esa jgrs FksA njokts dh txg dks NksM+dj ?kj ds pkjksa vksj iQwyksa dh ,d D;kjh FkhA ijarq fiQj Hkh os [kq'k u FksA os cgqr vdsykiu eglwl djrs FksA !

DMR Sending text messages between Hytera and Motorola radios - Exploring DMR
Sending text messages between Hytera and Motorola
One of the first things you may notice when playing with different DMR radios of different brands is their inability to exchange text messages, in most part this is because the most high end manufacturers like Motorola and Hytera use their own format for sending data over the air, this has always been the case since DMR radios started appearing on the market however things are starting to change... In the latest Motorola CPS (version 11 upwards) there is a setting for each digital channel that allows you to select if you want Motorola format text messaging or DMR standard. To use this feature you need to make sure the radio itself is running the latest firmware. You need to also set the UDP data type to DMR Standard, this checkbox is above the text message type drop down box. For Hytera radios to exchange data using the DMR standard and not Hytera's own format you need to first update your firmware and CPS to the latest version and then in the CPS from the conventional - digital common - basic menu scroll down to the bottom to miscellaneous - data bearer service and change the setting to DMR Standard. After updating the firmware and cps for both radios you will need to read back the code plug from the radio into the CPS and save it as a new code plug. Also please note that changing these settings allows cross communication of data between radios in simplex mode, for repeaters it will probably be a different story. If you are on a Hytera network and use repeaters then I don't recommend changing the data bearer service as it will likely prevent text messaging between other Hytera radios and break things like GPS and forwarding to APRS.

An Australian man has paid $200 to have a tumor removed from the brain of his 10-year-old goldfish named George.
The owner Pip Joyce, noticed one day that there was a large object on the head of George. He had also noticed that George was not as responsive, was not eating, and was not as entertaining with his fellow fish friends.
The procedure which lasted for about an hour involved the doctor using a tube to keep water running to George's lungs, using a mild anesthetic to keep the fish calm from moving around and for it to feel little pain and then the process of the doctor removing the tumor. After following through they sewed George back up put him back in his bowl gently. George is eating once again, his strength has returned and he is being his good old self. The doctor has even said that George should live up to be about 30 years old giving him 20 more good years of life.
This is one man who really cares for his pets while we are quickly to throw creatures like George into their watery grave Mr. Joyce saved this little fish and now he can continue to live on for years to come.
Now the next time your kids ask for a goldfish think of George and the joy he has brought to this mans life and what he meant to him. George might be one of a kind but every kid can make their fish a George.

London's landfill excluded from proposed rules
Waste giant gets whiff of odour bylaw, says it stinks
A proposed odour bylaw to tackle persistent stink in London's south end is sparking a business backlash, with one food waste giant coming out swinging against the rules.
StormFisher, a company that turns organic materials into biogas and fertilizer, is taking aim at the draft rules that include having a city bylaw officer track bad smells using a super sniffer device.
In what could signal a larger battle brewing, the company argues the draft bylaw unfairly targets private business.
"It's targeting our type of business," said Brandon Moffatt, vice-president of development at StormFisher, noting the city-owned landfill isn't covered by the bylaw. "Let's actually deal with all odour sources in the city, rather than two or three different types of odours."
Residents in London's south end have long complained about terrible stenches radiating from area compost and waste facilities.
Gerry Macartney, head of London's Chamber of Commerce, wants to see the city hammer out a bylaw that appeases both sides.
"We don't want to think about waste. We're happy just to get rid of it. But when you get rid of it, there are consequences. Things like waste are going to smell," he said.
"We're going to continually go through this ebb and flow, this push and pull of the needs between residents — and their right to have a good quality of life — and the need for industry to do this."
Macartney advocates for a "deep dive" into best practices for managing trash around the world. A solid waste system that balances the rights of citizens and business could become even more crucial as the province rolls out its Waste Free Ontario Act, which bans organic waste from landfills.
Jared Zaifman, whose ward includes the StormFisher facility near Highway 401 and Wellington Road, said he plans to raise some of those difficult questions at the next council meeting in March.
"The smell still exists," he added. "We have to look out for our residents."
But Zaifman wonders why the proposed rules don't apply to London's landfill. The draft bylaw is limited to three odour sources: compost plants, anaerobic digestion facilities, and rendering facilities where animals are processed.
That means the proposed bylaw includes Orgaworld, the composter that was slapped with a $1.1 million fine in October, but excludes the city's dump, and private wastewater facilities like the one that leached a sour cabbage-like smell into neighbourhoods earlier this month and prompted concerns of a natural gas leak.
"I do agree with them that we should not just target (private business) and not target our own premises as well," said Coun. Harold Usher, who represents south-end ward 12.
The Ontario Ministry of Environment and Climate Change already has a complaint-based monitoring system for bad smells, which covers all of those facilities, including London's landfill.
The city's bylaw boss, Orest Katolyk, said the proposed bylaw would work in tandem with provincial rules.
"This will be yet another parallel process that hopefully will address some of those quality of life issues that the residents have brought up," Katolyk said.
And bylaw officers will still track odours around London's dump, it just won't be ticketed or charged.
"We typically we don't prosecute against ourselves," Katolyk said.
The city will measure odour in three ways – with an "odour detection device" called the Nasal Ranger, using their own "qualitative" assessments, and by gathering statements from those who report the problem.
Moffatt's not convinced the Nasal Ranger — a snout-like handheld device that runs about $2,000 — is the kind of technology the city should be using.
"The challenge with that device is it doesn't distinguish between smells," he said. "Someone could get it wrong."
Zaifman said he's not interested in waiting around for more debate about the best scent-sourcing technology.
"Whether the Nasal Rangers are the best option, or something else, I think time will tell," he said.
"Action is better than waiting for the perfect solution."


text: Brief: Design a functional, yet stylish website for local dance school Unit 17, that allows potential students to learn more about the dance studio and be able to get in touch with any enquiries. I kept the colour palette simple as I wanted to focus on the lovely imagery of the studios and the dancers (most of the images I photographed myself). I also felt this gave the website quite a refined and minimal look - which helped to keep it content focused, and easy to use.

Jose Ramirez: Fight for Water 2
You can always tell when a fighter has, what they call "it." Jose Carlos Ramirez definitely has "it." No doubt in my mind that Ramirez will one day be a major title holder in the sport of boxing with the talent he displays inside the ring. He also shows great character as well outside of the ring.
On March 29 in Las Vegas the competition of fighting was suppose to get more challenging for Jose Ramirez, but you couldn't tell as Ramirez made quick work of his opponent once again. Jose Ramirez defeated Boyd Henley in the 2nd round in TKO fashion improving his record to 9-0 with 7 KO's.
The 2012 U.S. Olympian is taking no rest as his next bout is already scheduled to take place May 17, at the SMG Selland Arena in Fresno, California. In only its first day of tickets sells, Ramirez fans rushed to purchase tickets. Fans purchased over 3,600 tickets on release day.
With tickets going fast it is recommended that you try to grab yours while you still can. Info for tickets below.
Tickets start at just $25 for pre-sale period and are available at main box office at Selland Arena (700 M Street, Fresno, Calif.). Box office hours are 10am-6pm, Monday-Friday and weekends on show dates only. Tickets are also available through Ticketmaster at www.ticketmaster.com, by phone at 1.800.745.3000
The fight is being dubbed as "The Fight for Water 2" as Jose Ramirez will showcase his future champion skills to a crowd in Fresno which is not to far from his hometown of Avenal, California. Ramirez will use his talented skills as a boxer to help bring attention to the water crisis in and throughout his local areas in central California as he hopes to help find a solution to this serious water situation.

Chris-Craft boats continue to speak to boat enthusiasts everywhere.
Crafted with the same passion and dedication as they were 145 years ago, Chris-Craft boats continue to speak to boat enthusiasts everywhere. Whether it's an open bow ideal for socializing, or a larger cruiser with a cabin for extended excursions, every inch of every boat we build is carefully considered.
Luxury, style and performance come together in Crest's expansive line of pontoon boats. With models ranging from the anything-but-basic Crest I on the lower end of their boat spectrum to the powerful, loaded-with-extras Crest Savannah, there is a Crest boat to fit the needs on any pontoon aficionado. With a 50-plus-year history of satisfying the discerning boater and a cutting-edge approach to design, Crest never disappoints.
When a manufacturer uses the tagline "How Mayhem is Made" to introduce a new model, which this Tennessee-based boatbuilder did with its 2018 XStar, you know it's a company that is all about power and performance. This is MasterCraft. One might think that a 50-year- old company would be tempted to rest on its laurels. So not the case here. With four distinctive series ranging from the powerful Star Series to the refined X Series, and the approachable XT Series and NXT Series, MasterCraft is at the top of its game and on the top of the wish lists of smart boaters who appreciate daring design and unmatched power.
From their Sport Yachts to their Super Sports to the Surf Edition series, each and every model in Monterey's lengthy lineup of models combines eye-catching style with technological savvy. Will you hit the lake for the weekend – or longer – in a Monterey yacht with an onboard kitchen, head and berth, or get out on the water for the day in a bowrider? There is no wrong answer.
Timeless Classics.
A signature silhouette paired with unmatched speed and handling; this is Donzi. For more than 50 years, Donzi has appealed to boaters who like a certain amount of swagger. Don Aronow started the brand with the 16 Classic, which quickly earned the "Sweet 16" moniker. He then upped the ante with the 18 Classic, and capped off his trifecta with the top-of-the-line 22 Classic.
High performance meets high style in Manitou's line of pontoon boats. Hit the water in one of these sleek machines and you'll be turning on a dime and turning heads all at the same time. Thirty-plus years of experience, and a constantly evolving lineup of models and features, keep Manitou at the top of every discerning boater's wish list.
South Bay's line of pontoon boats is the go-to choice for boaters who want to take to the water for the day with family and friends in a boat that pairs unmatched comfort with effortless style. With a wide range of models in a variety of price points, there is a South Bay pontoon that will appeal to virtually any boater. Cutting-edge technology, and a nearly endless menu of add-on options, up the ante of South Bay's line.
With two world records under his belt, Reggie J. Fountain is firmly ensconced in the annals of boating history, and, with a decades-long reputation for performance and beauty, so too are his boats. Renowned for their Positive Lift Hull design, which increases acceleration and improves handling while reducing fuel consumption, Fountain's center console fishing boats are perennial favorites.
Started in 1971 on a shoestring budget in an abandoned roller rink, Baja boats made up for its lack of resources by constantly pushing the innovation envelope. They were on a mission to build cutting-edge performance boats which quickly earned the company an all-star status in the world of boating. Since launching its first model, Baja boats have developed a following of passionate boaters who continue to turn to the 24 Outlaw and 27 Outlaw to turn heads while ripping up the water.
For more than 40 years, JC Manufacturing has been creating pontoon boats that meld comfort and practicality with exceptional on-the-water performance. Their original TriToon hull was the first to seamlessly integrate deck boat performance into a high-end pontoon that wants for nothing. Continued innovation, backed by decades of experience and a reputation for quality, make JC a go-to choice for pontoon lovers everywhere.

The judge's decision does not, however, appear to have upset the jury. Juror Stephen Colwell said he felt "greatly relieved" when the verdict was reduced to manslaughter — a choice he and his 11 colleagues were never given. And most Americans, it seems, agree. According to an ABC News survey — the first post-trial poll — 56 percent felt manslaughter was the correct verdict, with only 35 percent opposed.
On the question of reducing Louise Woodward's sentence to time served, however, the results were less clear-cut. Only 41 percent agreed — the rest swayed, perhaps, by the prosecution's emotional argument that Louise was in jail for virtually the length of Matthew Eappen's life. There was visible disquiet, too, at the scenes of champagne-cork popping in Elton, England. And with Louise reportedly set to reap a possible $100,000 for selling her story to a British magazine when she eventually returns home, the court of public opinion is sure to remain in session.

Not too long ago, I had to order a bag for my work laptop. I just wanted a simple, black shoulder bag, so I picked a sort of cheap one. No big deal. The very next day it came in. When I opened the box and reached in to grab it, my body went into freak out mode. It was like I just grabbed a hot iron. Also, my teeth hurt. It was like they were set on edge. I wanted to bite whatever was in there. Suddenly, I realized what happened: I had touched something on the Do Not Touch list.
Much like the "Do Not Fly" list, I have a "Do Not Touch" list. I have gone 20+ years of my life not touching foam, velour, or any other similar material for good reason. Egg crate mattresses? Forget it. Foam paint brushes? No way. Once, I unknowingly bought a Magic Eraser because the marketing was so good. My ex had opened it and it was laying on the counter and I immediately knew I would never use it, just based on its material.
I will fully admit that I was a weird child. I had an insane amount of anxiety, and these anxieties presented themselves as ticks and compulsions. For instance, before I could tie my own shoes, I remember my mom tying my shoes and me FREAKING OUT that:
- the seam of my sock at the toes had slightly moved and the shoe needed to be removed
- the laces were not tied tight enough. She would literally have to tie my shoes over and over again until it was just right
There were many, many other things I did, but you get the gist of it. However, the granddaddy of them all was me coming into contact with any sort of foam/velour/crushed velvet-types of material. For some reason, if I did touch it, I would immediately want to bite it. Don't ask me why; I can provide no rational explanation. I'm pretty sure I have a mild case of tactile autism, but that's just a self diagnosis. The textures of these material would literally shut my body down and I couldn't function properly. The worst part, as I said above, is it would make my teeth hurt. The message that my fucked up brain would send to me was "OMG! The only way your teeth will feel better is if you bite it." So, I did as I was told.
It didn't happen too often, but when it did, I couldn't be stopped. So, knowing this, you can only imagine the complete nervous breakdown I experienced when my parents bought their 1986 Cutlass Supreme. It was a two-tone car, black and silver. Very swanky. According to most car buying standards, it was a nice car. The interior? COMPLETELY VELOUR. Like, everywhere. Sheer terror and panic set in. How was I ever going to endure this torture?? I literally could not even fathom getting into that car. I would have much rather swam with sharks, or watched a Lawrence Welch marathon for a month. We only had one car, so it wasn't even like I had a backup plan. Maybe they would let me ride in the trunk? Strap me to the roof? I would have much rather died than set foot into that car. Of course, I had no choice.
I really, REALLY tried my hardest to control myself. I brought books with me in the car. I figured out how to get into the car without touching anything. I sat with my hands between my knees for further insurance. I felt like a junkie sitting in the middle of a crack den. "Oh, no, no, no. I'm quite fine, thank you. I'll just sit here and watch you do all the drugs that I want." After probably a week of utter mental torture, it happened. I freaked the fuck out. I remember getting in the car, and my ritual of not touching anything somehow misfired and I touched the seat. Game on.
My father was driving, my mother in the front passenger seat. I was sitting behind my father. I remember leaning forward and BITING the headrest of my father's seat. I couldn't be stopped. I did it over and over. At some point, my mother turned to look in the back seat. There I was, latched on like a dog with a bone to the headrest. She slapped me off of it, but I just kept going back for more. I needed out of that car. My mother is screaming at me to knock it off, my father is driving and yelling that this is "frigging bullshit now, this was a new car!", and I'm obsessively attacking a velour headrest.
That first attack luckily didn't leave any marks. However, over the course of time, they began to show. Obviously, I learned that I couldn't do it when my parents were in the car. So, I would go into the car before them and just get it out of my system as best I could.
It's funny, we didn't have that car for very long. I like to think that it's because it had a lot of things wrong with it and it would have been too much money to fix. But let's face it: they had to get rid of it because they're psychotic daughter was leaving bite marks on the headrests.

Code.org, the non-profit that promotes computer science education around the world, has secured $23 million in donations from Microsoft, Infosys, Google, Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan, and several others. Seattle-based Code.org will use the funds to continue its pledge to train 25,000 public school teachers in computer science each year, according to CEO and co-founder Hadi Partovi.
The funds accompany an open letter to Congress, signed by a long list of business, education and political leaders, including Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, CEO Satya Nadella, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. The letter implores Congress to make computer science education for K-12 students a priority.
"Whether it's smartphones or social networks, self-driving cars or personalized medicine, nothing embodies the American Dream so much as the opportunity to change or even reinvent the world with technology," the letter says. "And participating in this world requires access to computer science in our schools. We ask you to provide funding for every student in every school to have an opportunity to learn computer science."
Twenty-seven governors, including Washington state's Jay Inslee, and 28 leaders in education and ed-related non-profits also signed the letter. It includes a petition, which is open to the public. As of 10:45 a.m. Tuesday it had 3,236 signatures. In addition to publishing the letter on Change.org, the coalition plans to deliver it to every Congressional office.
On top of the $23 million to Code.org, Microsoft and Google are committing an additional $10 million each to expand computer science in public schools. Infosys Foundation will donate $5 million in grants to related non-profits.
The open letter was organized by Code.org and the Computer Science Education Coalition, a non-profit that works to increase K-12 education in the field by securing federal funds.
"The fact that we got the support of a lot of tech companies is unique, but not a complete surprise," said Partovi. "But the fact that we got companies like John Deere or Dupont or Delta Airlines — having the CEO and chairman of the company saying, 'this is important enough to put my name behind,' is a real sign of why computer science is much broader than just technology."
The letter assures Congress that increasing federal spending is not necessary to expand computer science education in public schools. According to Partovi, this was critical in order to secure signatures from governors on both sides of the aisle.
"We're in a unique year, in that the Education Act just got rewritten for our country last December," he said. "There's an opening to rewrite the education budget and we believe computer science can be funded using a small fraction of a percent. Just a fraction of one percent of the federal education budget would be enough to solve this problem.
The full text of the letter is available below. The petition and names associated with the letter are available here.
America should be a leader in computer science education, yet today most schools don't even offer this foundational subject. Please join the CEOs, governors, and education leaders below and ask Congress to support computer science in every K-12 school – for our children, and for their future.
Every student in America should have this opportunity
Dear Members of Congress and fellow Americans,
As business leaders, elected officials, educators, and members of the public, we join forces to deliver a bipartisan message about opportunity and the American Dream. Technology is transforming society at an unprecedented rate. Whether it's smartphones or social networks, self-driving cars or personalized medicine, nothing embodies the American Dream so much as the opportunity to change or even reinvent the world with technology. And participating in this world requires access to computer science in our schools. We ask you to provide funding for every student in every school to have anopportunity to learn computer science.
Support for this idea is sweeping our nation. Ninety percent of parents want their children to have access to computer science education at school, and teachers agree. They know that technology opens doors. A hundred thousand teachers have taken matters into their own hands and already begun teaching computer science. Over 100 school districts are rolling out courses, from New York to Chicago to Los Angeles, from Miami to Las Vegas. Twenty states have passed policies and are now looking to support professional training for new computer science teachers. Private donors have collectively committed tens of millions of dollars to solving this problem, including $48 million of new commitments announced today by many of the undersigned.
Despite this groundswell, three-quarters of U.S. schools do not offer meaningful computer science courses. At a time when every industry in every state is impacted by advances in computer technology, our schools should give all students the opportunity to understand how this technology works, to learn how to be creators, coders, and makers — not just consumers. Instead, what is increasingly a basic skill is only available to the lucky few, leaving most students behind, particularly students of color and girls.
How is this acceptable? America leads the world in technology. We invented the personal computer, the Internet, e-commerce, social networking, and the smartphone. This is our chance to position the next generation to participate in the new American Dream.
Not only does computer science provide every student foundational knowledge, it also leads to the highest-paying, fastest-growing jobs in the U.S. economy. There are currently over 500,000 open computing jobs, in every sector, from manufacturing to banking, from agriculture to healthcare, but only 50,000 computer science graduates a year. Whether a student aspires to be a software engineer, or if she just wants a well-rounded education in today's changing world, access to computer science in school is an economic imperative for our nation to remain competitive. And with the growing threat of cyber warfare, this is even a critical matter of national security. Despite this growing need, targeted federal funding to carry out these efforts in classrooms is virtually non-existent. This bipartisan issue can be addressed without growing the federal budget.
We urge you to amplify and accelerate the local efforts in classrooms, unlock opportunity in every state, and give an answer to all the parents and teachers who believe that every student, in every school, should have a chance to learn computer science.

The waiting game
Posted By: Ninja F
Well, I've made it as far as the press line. Basically, a long line filled with people who smell like they just ate shit.
It also is the "special needs" line. Which apparently means "too fat to walk" at BlizzCon 2010.
Let's hope AT&T doesn't drop the ball on my Internet connection once I get in.
Update: oh shit! I think the line is moving! I can't wait to get some OJ at the Kraft Services table.
Update: A dude with hair down to his ankles just walked by. Tried to snap a pic but he was too quick.
Update: People in chicken costumes and a girl with her whole ass hanging out. Guy in front of me still hasn't brushed his teeth. Hopefully Ninja J can snap some pics.

Family Pheasants, Partridges, Turkeys, Grouse (Phasianidae)
Brown Quail (Synoicus ypsilophorus)
Coturnix ypsilophorus
Bosc, 1792,
no locality = Tasmania.
Previously placed in genus Coturnix. All races except nominate ypsilophorus have been considered together to form a separate species, S. australis, but morphological differences between some of these greater than those between australis and ypsilophorus; they differ in size, overall colour saturation, strength of barring and shaft streaking, and eye colour (differences most marked in males). Geographical variation complex and requires detailed review; if nominate form is considered a separate species from all other races, a reappraisal is required of the forms in New Guinea, where the almost black dogwa is particularly distinctive#R, and the possibility that lowland forms represent a different species from alpine and montane forms needs investigation. Race lamonti sometimes included in mafulu. Otherwise, populations of N Queensland, NW Australia and SW Australia have been separated as races queenslandicus, cervinus and sordidus, respectively, but differences slight, while no clear correlation exists between geographical distribution in Australia and plumage colour or pattern of plumage, but relationship between some of these names, especially cervinus, and the two accepted subspecies in the Lesser Sundas, pallidior and raaltenii, also requires renewed investigation#R. Proposed race castaneus (Timor) considered inseparable from raaltenii#R. A recently discovered population on Yamdena (in Tanimbar Is) may represent an undescribed form. Ten subspecies recognized.
Introduced to New Zealand (australis and ypsilophorus) and Fiji.

With non-renewable energy sources almost draining up due to the high demand for energy, humans find new ways and solutions in order to save their own. And in the past few years, renewable energy solutions are growing rapidly and becomes increasingly common sight.
Not only because these are more affordable and practical sources, but they also help Mother Earth to heal by reducing harmful pollutions and emissions. Plus, they actually work and provides reliable energy solutions to most homes and businesses.
Here are 5 renewable energy solutions that are reliable and actually works:
1. Solar Power
One of the most common and popular renewable energy of today is solar power. Solar energy takes the energy from the sun, using solar panels which will then be converted into electricity to power businesses and homes. Solar energy with the best solar geysers can also produce hot water as well as charge battery systems.
Solar power can benefit both the environment and your wallet. With the cost of solar panels constantly dropping, installing a solar panel on your home can help save you money over the lifetime of the installation. Moreover, producing solar energy does not release fossil fuels or pollute the planet, meaning you can significantly reduce the negative environmental impact of solar panel systems.
2. Wind Energy
Another type of renewable energy source that really works is wind power. Massive wind turbines capture wind power and generate electricity as they spin.
Although wind energy is not a practical choice for homes, wind energy is more popular with utility-scale applications. There are massive wind farms which span square miles around the world. And just like solar energy, wind energy is an eco-friendly source and is an important renewable energy source which supplies electricity grids worldwide.
3. Geothermal Energy
Mother Earth has a large energy source within it. When our planet was formed, heat was trapped in its core, together with heat that comes from radioactive decay in rocks beneath the Earth's crust which results in a huge amount of geothermal energy. There is a time when this heat escapes at once in large amounts, which we see as volcanic eruptions.
Geothermal energy can be captured by using steam from heated water in order to spin a turbine. In a geothermal spring system, the water is pumped from below the ground and once it is heated, it will rise back to the surface as a steam and will spin a turbine in order to produce electricity.
Although it is still a small part of renewable energy solutions, geothermal power makes a promising and reliable renewable energy source. For instance, geothermal energy is already responsible for 25% of electricity needs and 90% of home heating needs in Iceland.
Geothermal energy is also pollution-free, however, issues and debates regarding the cost of constructing a power plant as well as its relation to earthquakes and surface instability are still ongoing.
4. Hydroelectricity
Just like moving air, we can also generate power with moving water. Energy can be generated when moving water runs to a turbine and spins it in order to produce electricity.
This usually happens at waterfalls or large dams, where water drops are in significant elevation.
There are many renewable energy sources that need to make a significant impact yet, however, hydropower already becomes a major player. In 2017, 7.5% of the electricity in the United States comes from large hydroelectric facilities around the country.
Like the other 2 renewable energy sources, hydropower is also a pollution-free source, however, it has an environmental impact since it can change the currents, water levels as well as the migration paths of fishes and freshwater lives.
5. Ocean Power
There are 2 types of energy which can be produced by the ocean: mechanical energy from the motion of waves and tides and thermal energy from the sun's heat.
Ocean thermal energy can be used to produce electricity with different systems which rely on warm surface water temperatures. Mechanical energy from the ocean, on the other hand, harnesses the flow of tides that is caused by the gravitational influence of the moon and the rotation of the earth. Wind-driven wave energy is also converted and used in order to cut business electricity costs.
