Antec has a strong pedigree in low to mid-range, no-nonsense cases, and the Solo II we have got our mitts on here shows Antec can also throw their hat in the higher end case market as well.
However, as price tags increase in the case market, competition gets fierce. CoolerMaster, Corsair, Lian Li et al offer all kinds of fanciful cases brimming with extras and lurid gaming trim to the enthusiast with a hundred quid or more in their eager hand.
That's not to say cases like Antec's LAN Boy Air don't cut it with other high-end cases, it's just that traditionally its speciality lies with quiet home PC, workstation or entry level gaming cases.
The Solo II jumps through all these hoops: it is indeed quiet, visually sombre enough to stick in an office and capacious enough to fit a meaty gaming graphics card. But hold on… £95?
It looks like a £50 case, to be brutally honest. The front panel is a little wobbly, the PSU mounting's at the top of the case, and there's just one 120mm rear case fan. You know – like in 2005.
Those wouldn't be major criticisms if the price wasn't as high as it is, but at the £100 mark, it's miles behind others such as Corsair's 600T and CoolerMaster's HAF X.
Admittedly, the ground it loses is mostly in gaming and heat management terms. But these are the attributes that expensive cases justify their price tags by.
The Solo II's big enough to build a really high-spec PC inside and comes with a hole in the backplate for quickly swapping coolers, but that's where the enthusiast stuff ends. What's more, a beefy GTX 580 or the like is noisy enough to negate the sound dampening, so why would you choose this case over a thoroughbred gaming chassis? You wouldn't.
And if you wanted a workstation or basic home PC case, you'd get one that didn't cost nearly a hundred quid and did all the same things as this.

Wikipedia describes the OPC as a white, politically conservative denomination. Is this intentional or an accident? Are non-white people and political liberals welcome to attend or join an OPC? Thanks for your help!
Thank you for your question.
As you may know, Wikipedia is produced by various contributors and seldom by those who are therein described. So, while it may have a page about the OPC, it is not "our page" in the sense that we have submitted anything or agreed with anything there, as is OPC.ORG. As to whether the description is accidental or intentional, I have no information (not knowing who posted it there).
I can say that it is misleading. I suspect that a majority of our membership is Caucasian and politically conservative. Generally speaking, those who are conservative in theology will tend to be conservative in politics. So I expect this to be the case in most theologically conservative churches. Speaking personally, I never inquire into the political opinions of my flock. I have, on the other hand, heard from various ones everything from "I always pull the big D lever" to "I can't even vote this year because there is not a true conservative." From the various bumper stickers that I've seen in our church parking, opinions differ though the majority seems to be more conservative politically.
Racially, the OPC came into being in the early 1900's out of essentially Caucasian churches. Because of our covenantal emphasis, many of our members are descendents of those earliest members. On the other hand, virtually all of the OPC church congregations which I know have members of various races.
I cannot say that my own experience is typical, but I suspect that the "lily white" congregation is the exception rather than the rule. And as the Lord continues to bless us with growth, the genetic mix is more and more closely reflecting the population at large in the areas where we have churches.
I hope you find this useful. I would encourage you to visit a local OPC to see us in the flesh, rather than a digital portrait offered by a stranger.
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

TOKYO — A 43-year-old Japanese piano teacher's sudden divorce from her online husband in a virtual game world made her so angry that she logged on and killed his digital persona, police said Thursday.
She used his identification and password to log onto popular interactive game "Maple Story" to carry out the virtual murder in mid-May, a police official in northern Sapporo City said on condition of anonymity, citing department policy.
"I was suddenly divorced, without a word of warning. That made me so angry," the official quoted her as telling investigators and admitting the allegations.
The woman had not plotted any revenge in the real world, the official said.
She was charged with illegal access onto a computer and manipulating electronic data, police said. If convicted, she could face a prison term of up to five years or a fine up to $5,000.
As in "Second Life" in the U.S., players in "Maple Story" raise and manipulate digital images called "avatars" that represent themselves, while engaging in relationships, social activities and fighting against monsters and other obstacles.
The woman used login information she got from the 33-year-old office worker when their characters were happily married, and killed the character. The man complained to police when he discovered that his beloved online avatar was dead.
The woman was arrested Wednesday and was taken across the country, traveling 620 miles from her home in southern Miyazaki to be detained in Sappporo, where the man lives, the official said.
The police official said he did not know if she was married in the real world.
In recent years, virtual lives have had consequences in the real world. In August, a woman was charged in Delaware with plotting the real-life abduction of a boyfriend she met through "Second Life."
In Tokyo, police arrested a 16-year-old boy on charges of swindling virtual currency worth $360,000 in an interactive role playing game by manipulating another player's portfolio using a stolen ID and password.
Virtual games are popular in Japan, and "Second Life" has drawn a fair number of Japanese participants. They rank third by nationality among users, after Americans and Brazilians.

Alfred J. "Chip" Chiplin, Jr., one of the nation's preeminent legal advocates for the elderly and an extraordinary human being, died July 10, 2017, after a two-year battle with cancer. Chiplin, 68, was a Senior Policy Attorney with the Center for Medicare Advocacy (CMA).
"No smile lit a room or brightened the world like Chip's," the CMA's executive director, Judy Stein, said in a statement. "We are broken hearted to share the news of his death. We will honor his spirit by continuing to advocate for quality health care and justice for all -- by doing our work. We send our deepest respect and condolences to his remarkable sisters, family, and the myriad people of all stripes who knew and loved him. His memory will be a blessing for generations."
Chiplin was diagnosed with cancer in 2015 and took a medical leave from his job early this year to undergo immunotherapy. In March, when his cancer continued to spread and he was out of treatment options, his sister Jewel posted on his Facebook page that "he is at peace and not afraid."
Chiplin had been at CMA since 1995. Prior to that he was a staff attorney for the National Senior Citizens Law Center and a consulting attorney with the Consumer Coalition for Quality Health Care. He also was a Fellow of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) and served on the Academy's board of directors, including the executive committee. For many years, Chip was co-editor-in-chief of the annually updated Medicare Handbook (Wolters Kluwer).
In addition to being a lawyer, Chiplin was an ordained minister who served in many pastor and chaplain capacities.
When Chiplin took his medical leave, CMA established the Alfred J. Chiplin, Jr., Social Justice & Advocacy Award, to be given annually to an individual who works to advance civility in society and social justice for all. The inaugural awardee was Ben Belton, Senior Advisor to the Acting Commissioner of the Social Security Administration during the Obama Administration, who was presented the award at CMA's annual National Voices of Medicare Summit & Sen. Jay Rockefeller Lecture on March 30th in Washington, D.C.
We suggest that contributions to the Chiplin Award or to CMA itself would be fitting ways to ensure that Chip's light keeps shining. http://www.medicareadvocacy.org/donations/
A service for Chip Chiplin will be held at 11 am, August 3, 2017, at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 1 Rock Creek Church Road, N.W., Washington D.C.

NEWS- Funny girl: Friends mourn slain UVA student
On Thursday, October 5, bouquets of flowers and a candle mark the spot at an overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway where UVA grad student Lizzy Hafter was murdered. On this cool autumn afternoon a few days later, a dazzling sun breaks through rolling fog and illuminates colorful foliage on the mountainside and on Shenandoah Valley farms below. Visitors aren't immediately able to reconcile the beauty and the tragedy.
"It just totally takes you aback," says Dawn Landry of Swanton, Ohio, who hadn't heard about the murder before seeing the makeshift shrine at the Greenstone Overlook, two miles south of Humpback Rocks. "You have the God-given beauty that's here, and to have something that ghastly..." she trails off, shaking her head.
"It's surprising to hear that violence would happen in such a serene area," says another visitor, Virginia Beach resident Danielle Alaimo.
Friends say Hafter had gone to the overlook Friday, September 29 to study and enjoy the scenery. But another visitor to the Parkway that day wasn't there for the view.
On Monday, October 2, one day after Hafter's body was recovered from the steep slope below the overlook, police found 37-year-old Thomas Ashby in Florida, driving Hafter's 1996 Toyota Corolla. Another stolen car, an Oldsmobile Ashby had been driving, was discovered at the overlook by park employees, who also spotted Hafter's body, according to a report by the Staunton News-Leader.
Ashby, a Savannah, Georgia resident, died during a shootout with police; a coroner has ruled he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. In addition to killing Hafter, Ashby is the suspect in the shooting deaths of two liquor store clerks in Tennessee, the nonfatal shooting of a convenience store clerk in Georgia, as well as the murder of a fruit stand operator in South Carolina.
FBI spokesperson Lawrence Barry in Richmond says law enforcement officers are still trying to confirm that Ashby murdered Hafter. "Certainly he's a strong suspect," says Barry, "but until other investigative avenues are completed, we're not in a position to definitively declare that he was responsible." The FBI has jurisdiction in Hafter's murder because it occurred on the Parkway, which is federal property, while Ashby's other crimes occurred on private or state property.
Those who knew Hafter are still struggling to accept that the 22-year-old one colleague describes as "always happy, cheerful, a shining star" is really gone.
"She was addicted to Saturday Night Live," recalls Barbara Hatcher, a colleague at the UVA Education library, where Hafter worked all four undergraduate years at UVA and remained employed as a grad student. [Hatcher's last name was stated incorrectly in the print version of this story. It has been corrected online.]
Hatcher recalls Hafter, a petite brunette who'd double majored in drama and history, performing the SNL "cheerleaders" skit, which always ends with the female cheerleader crashing backwards into some type of furniture. "She loved slapstick," says Hatcher.
When Hatcher had a large new desk placed in her office, Hafter immediately saw an opportunity for more laughs.
"She just lay completely across the entire top," laughs Hatcher, "and started doing a Marilyn Monroe thing."
Even when Hafter was stressed, she added a touch of dramatic flair.
"Some days she'd literally be hunched over and dragging her bookbag beside her," says Hatcher. "She'd come in with puppy dog eyes and say, 'I'm exhausted' and just fall on the floor in my office. I'd just shake my head and say, 'You poor thing.' And then she'd tell me about her classes."
Like Hatcher, Jane Walker worked with Hafter at the library and says getting to know Lizzy over four years was "a joy."
"We watched her grow from a girl to a young woman," says Walker. "She was really a part of our family here."
Although many of Hafter's colleagues and professors declined to comment about Hafter, citing a request from her family, Hatcher and Walker say they feel compelled to share some memories.
"I respect the family's wishes, but I think Lizzy would really want to be remembered," says Walker. "It's a terrrble tragedy, but we don't want to forget Lizzy's life. We want others to know who she was and what a loss it is."
While Lizzy was always ready for a laugh and retained her childhood passion for collecting Care Bears, according to her October 7 obituary in the Daily Progress, Walker says she was also a reliable worker who never complained– even when asked to inspect large sections of the library for misshelved books.
"It's a terribly boring task, and most people can only stand to do it for 15 or 20 minutes at a time," says Walker. Hafter, she says, performed the task without complaint for hours. Walker says Hafter's reputation as a hard worker had prompted the library to offer her full-time hours starting next summer. And she'd accepted.
"She loved it here," says Walker.
Exiting I-64 at Afton, it's only a few hundred yards before the turn onto the Blue Ridge Parkway, the 469-mile scenic road that stretches southward from Shenandoah National Park to the Great Smoky Mountains in North Carolina. The narrow, winding road features frequent spots to stop and hike or to gaze at rolling fields, but few auto-accessible vantage points provide as much seclusion as the Greenstone Overlook, which is practically invisible from the Parkway.
Hatcher says Greenstone had special significance as a place Hafter and her father, whom she adored, had visited together before he died about 18 months ago.
His sudden death of a heart attack happened on a day when Lizzy was working alone in the library, Hatcher says. Given her tremendous personal loss, Lizzy might have been tempted to lock the doors and close up the facility, something Hatcher says everyone would have understood.
"She stayed here in the library," says Hatcher. "She called everybody, tried to get someone to come. She stayed here for two hours."
Though she wasn't a "partier," Hatcher says, Lizzie loved music, and took her MP3 player and headphones everywhere. Eight days before her death, says Walker, Hafter had a brush with a musical celebrity.
On September 21, Hafter was walking along the Corner to work around 7:30am when she was approached by a tall man with colorful dreadlocks who asked for directions to an ATM. Hafter recognized him immediately: George Clinton, whose world-famous band P-Funk had a performance that night at the Charlottesville Pavilion.
Hafter later reported that Clinton had asked her if she was coming to his show, and when she said, "I would, if I had some money," Clinton offered her tickets– and put her on the backstage list.
Hafter "bounced" into work, Hatcher says, and immediately called her family and friends. But despite her excitement, she skipped the concert because she had class that night.
"In the aftermath," says Hatcher, "it broke all of our hearts that she didn't go to that show."
Walker breaks down when recalling Clinton's kindness. "I hope he knows what that random act of kindness meant to her and to all of us," she sobs.
But even though the memory is painful, Walker says she prefers to recall Lizzy in happy times like that one.
"If you focus on the violence, to me it's another way of letting that horrible criminal win," says Walker of Ashby. "He's not going to snuff out Lizzy's life. We'll remember her forever."
A bulletin board at the UVA Education library memorializes Lizzy Hafter.

- abstract
We study theoretically and experimentally a two-person partnership game whereby agents only see the uncertain outcome of their joint effort but not how much the other agent contributed to it. The model combines problems of free-riding present in public good production and in teams with imperfect monitoring. We analyse effort and exit behaviour conditional on subjects' beliefs over the action taken by their partners and consider the effect of the availability and profitability of outside options. Our subjects do not adapt effort as a response to changes in their beliefs about the effort of their partner. Subjects display aversion for team work by exiting the partnership even when they believe their partner exerts sufficient effort to sustain it. Higher outside options do not either motivate or discourage effort in joint work but rather result in not only inefficient but also irrational breakdown in partnerships. Overall, social welfare decreases as the incentive to exit increases.

Dhaka: Police have used batons, rubber bullets and tear gas to stop protests by garment workers in Bangladesh who want higher wages while factory owners fear they may miss shipment to the United States and Europe.
Police and news reports say the fifth day of protests Wednesday in two industrial districts near Dhaka forced authorities to close more than 100 factories for the day.
A police official in the Gazipur district says the workers have dispersed there. A.K.M. Mosharaf Hossain would not confirm any injuries in Gazipur.
Prothom Alo newspaper says clashes in the Narayanganj district injured at least 10 people.
The workers are demanding 8,114 takas (around $100) in place of 3,000 takas ($38) as a monthly minimum wage.
Bangladesh earns $20 billion a year from garment exports.

Management And Care Of Dairy Goats
The modern dairy goat produces milk of the highest quality and dairy goats are one of the most useful animals you can keep. Not only are they easy to look after and feed, they produce quality milk to make cheese, butter, yogurt and drinks. Unwanted kids are excellent as a source of meat for the house, the skins tan well and the fat is used to make soap. The female dairy goat is a doe; the male, a buck; the young, kids; and a castrated male, a wether. Their life span is about eight to twelve years.
Some of the basics know how about the management of dairy goats are:
Ideally, goats should be dehorned when they are very young. It is advisable to wait until they are 1-2 weeks of age and in good flesh to be sure they are healthy and not coming down with neonatal diarrhea. If discolored skin is fixed to the skull in two rosettes, horn buds are present. Moveable skin indicates a naturally hornless condition. Hooves should be trimmed frequently to assure proper development of the hoof.
Besides good management, keeping good weight records is important for proper feeding and medication. Tapes can be used for estimation of weight by measuring the heart girth behind the forelegs. There also exists normal growth curve to age-weight relationships. For large breed male goats, they are in average as follows: 1 month-25 lb., 3 months-55 lb., 6 months-85 lb., 9 months-110 lb., 12 months-130 lb., 18 months-155 lb., 24 months-170 lb., 36 months-205 lb. For smaller breeds and females, these standards are less, proportionate to the lesser adult body weight.
In order to check the health of goats and determine suspected illness, it is useful to know their normal physiological values. Body temperature is about 103.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Pulse is about 83 per minute ranging from 50 to 115. Respiration is around 29 per minute with a range from 15 to 50.
Dairy goats do not thrive under the same conditions as sheep and dairy cows as they are a browsing rather than grazing animal. Dairy goats like to graze good pasture but their diet must also contain ample roughage, some concentrates and a supply of bushes, weeds or rough scrub to give variety. All dairy goats must have salt and fresh clean water. Breeding, milking and growing stock need to be fed good quality roughage in the form of legume hay, such as alfalfa, each day. Kids and bucks need a balanced grain ration and milkers should be fed a standard dairy grain ration. Kids are milk fed until two to three months of age, but should be consuming forages such as pasture grass or hay by two weeks of age and grain within four.
Pasturing is the ideal way to feed your goat. Under arid conditions, people must guard against the danger of overgrazing but keep in mind that overstocking in temperate climates is an excellent breeding ground for worms, flukes, and other parasites. Rotational pasturing is one of the successful controls. In temperate climates, one-half acre of land per milking goat should be plenty.
You do not need an elaborate barn or house for your dairy goat. Some type of small shed, about 15 square feet, will make a suitable home but, do require clean, well ventilated, dry, draft free shelter. Have dirt pen floors instead because cement floors become very cold. They must be allowed shade and space for exercise. A minimum of 25 square feet of space per animal, well-drained and properly fenced for outside exercise. Dairy goats are curious and agile and require well built fences for containment and protection from predators. Bucks should be kept in separate quarters away from milking does. Dairy goats have a strong herd instinct and prefer the companionship of at least one other goat.

AIA Press Release: Looming "Fiscal Cliff" Impasse Could Cost Design and Construction Industry More Than $2 Billion in Lost Work, Architects Warn. AIA Analysis Identifies Almost 50 Separate Federal Budget Accounts Targeted by "Sequestration"
Contact: John Schneidawind Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Washington, D.C. – October 11, 2012 – The design and construction industry, still reeling from the real estate crash, could face another $2 billion in lost work if Congress and the White House fail to reach agreement on a federal budget in time to avoid massive mandatory federal spending cuts on January 2, an American Institute of Architects (AIA) analysis released today warns. Read the full report here.
Using a report issued last month by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the AIA analysis identifies 48 separate budget accounts targeted for spending cuts that directly fund the design, construction and rehabilitation of buildings and other vertical infrastructure, including the iconic Capitol dome that is the symbol of American democracy throughout the world.
"At a time when both political parties are campaigning on being the best at creating jobs, both are risking the jobs of millions of Americans by placing ideology above governing," said AIA President Jeff Potter, FAIA.
"The design and construction industry is a significant portion of the national economy, and we urge both sides to put aside their political differences and come up with a budget that keeps people working, especially if they are working on a national infrastructure befitting of the 21st century," Potter said.
The Budget Control Act of 2011 requires some $1.2 trillion in spending cuts absent an agreement by Congress and the White House to reduce the federal deficit by other means. As of August 2012, numerous agencies across all three branches of government accounted for a seasonally adjusted annual rate of federal construction put in place of $25.2 billion, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
In July, a study by the George Mason University Center for Regional Analysis found that the total employment impact of budget cuts on federal personnel in architecture and engineering occupations at 61,483. However, this number does not include the job losses incurred by government contractors or construction workers, which could possibly boost that number significantly higher.
The AIA analysis uses a 2007 Center for Regional Analysis study to further pin point job losses in the sector. According to that study, every $1 billion spent on design and construction yields 28,500 full-time jobs.

The List Project was founded in June 2007 with the belief that the United States Government has an urgent moral obligation to resettle to safety Iraqis who are imperiled due to their affiliation with America.
Our groundbreaking program of pro bono legal assistance from hundreds of attorneys at top law firms has helped bring over 1,500 Iraqi allies to safety.
Although the war is officially over for the American public, Iraqis who formerly assisted our troops, diplomats, and aid workers are still in grave danger. Our mission continues.

The Alaska State Troopers are looking for a missing fisherman in the Willow Creek area.
According to the troopers, 71 year old Jerry Warner of Missouri left the Willow Creek Resort at about 11:00 am on Sunday to go fishing by himself. He planned to be away for a few hours. When he did not return by 7:30 pm, the troopers were contacted and a search began. On Sunday night, teams on foot as well as a Mat-Su Borough boat searched the creek until midnight, but found no sign of Jerry Warner.
On Monday morning the search resumed with the addition of an Alaska State Trooper helicopter and four search and rescue dog teams. As of late Monday morning, no sign of Warner has been discovered.
According to the troopers, Warner was carrying only a fishing pole, and has no survival gear with him.

A joule is a measurement of energy (1 joule equals the work needed to produce one watt of power continuously for one second). The joule rating of your surge protector is based on the number of MOVs (Metal Oxide Varistors) inside the protector. A higher number of joules should equate to a higher ability to absorb spike or surge energy. Each MOV has a rating and when you add these all up, you get the total number of joules.

My understanding is that what is driving the interest in cryptocurrencies is a combination of an attempt to find an alternative store of value, separate from Venezuela's domestic currency, and dirt cheap prices for electricity that makes mining for [cryptocurrencies] competitive with other jurisdictions around the world. Venezuela's money supply doubled between March 2016 and March 2017, and the inevitable consequence of this is very high inflation, estimated at 800 percent in 2016. Access to traditional stores of value such as dollars and gold is highly restricted by the government, forcing the average person to go to the black market to purchase these, where Venezuela's currency has been depreciating against the dollar at a staggering rate. In addition, Venezuela's highly distorted economy, in which energy is so highly subsidized that it is practically free, makes it competitive for [cryptocurrency] miners to operate. The [cryptocurrencies] generated can be used to purchase scarce goods abroad for shipment to Venezuela. Keep in mind that not only is food scarce enough that malnutrition is a serious problem for the first time in decades, but most medicines are unavailable due to severe import restrictions by the government. So Venezuela is uniquely economically mismanaged compared to other South American countries, which together with highly subsidized electricity makes [cryptocurrencies] one of the possible lifelines for some Venezuelans who have the savvy to enter this market. This is not a combination that you are likely to see repeated elsewhere in the region.

Evaluation of cloud options would be mandatory before investing
The Obama administration has released its Federal Cloud Computing Strategy, designed to help guide agencies in moving systems to a cloud computing environment. It includes a mandatory evaluation of cloud options before making any investments.
Characterized by low asset utilization, a fragmented demand for resources, duplicative systems, unmanageable environments and long procurement lead times, the federal government's current IT environment is plagued with ineffiencies, according to the report.

The strategy consists of the cloud-first policy that is intended to accelerate the pace at which government will realize cloud computing's value. It requires agencies "to evaluate safe, secure cloud computing options before making any new investments."
The 39-page strategy, written by federal CIO Vivek Kundra, sets out to define cloud computing, outline the decision framework for cloud migration, cite case examples and resources, offer strategies on leveraging cloud computing, and identify government roles and responsibilities for catalyzing cloud adoption.

Silent films are never really silent.
They speak through literal communication, as when frames of dialogue or plot detail pop up on the screen, and, of course, through even the slightest changes on an actor's face. They also speak through music, a key ingredient since the glory days of silent movies in the early 20th century.
Scores were composed to complement each scene, underline each emotion. Back in the day, these scores were performed live — by orchestras in the grandest movie palaces, more commonly by an organist or pianist — as the films were shown.
Some scores were fashioned on the spot by the performer, using snippets of classical repertoire, and improvising the rest.
An unusual combination of composed and improvised music will be offered Friday for a showing of a 1922 hit, "Robin Hood," at An die Musik. The live soundtrack will come from the musicians of Hesperus, a widely traveled and respected Northern Virginia-based ensemble that uses historic instruments.
"When I started on this project, I was looking for music from the age of Robin Hood," said Tina Chancey, who co-founded Hesperus in 1979 with her late husband, Scott Reiss. "But there isn't one age of Robin Hood. He's really a mixture of 11th- to 15th-century guys."
The hero depicted in 1922 with brilliant physicality and charm by Douglas Fairbanks, and in so many subsequent screen versions by all sorts of actors, is quite different from the first known references to Robin Hood.
"He was originally described as a low-class trickster," Chancey said. "Then, around the time of Henry VIII, Robin Hood became a nobleman. Maid Marian was added around then, too. And in the 18th century, Robin started having a social conscience, and the Merry Men were added."
After digging into all of this background, Chancey settled on some music to fit the flavor of the classic movie.
"Henry VIII was a very big Robin Hood fan," she said, "so we use a lot of music that was played at Henry's court. And when the film switches from England to the Crusades, we switch to medieval French and Italian music, which sounds a little Arabic."
The players, who keep an eye on a video monitor while the audience watches the movie on a screen, frequently make fresh contributions to the score during a performance.
"We have it all planned," Chancey said, "but timing can vary. There is a maybe five-second grace period between scenes, so if a piece we're playing ends up being too short, we improvise."
With Hesperus, it is not just a matter of what music is played, but how.
Chancey's instruments include the medieval-era string instrument called the vielle, renaissance fiddle, viola da gamba and recorder. Grant Herreid will have at his disposal a lute, shawm (a double-reed instrument), pipe and tabor, and more. And Kathryn Montoya will add to the mix more recorders, another shawm and a Renaissance-era reed instrument, the sordune.
Completing the ensemble for "Robin Hood" will be soprano Rosa Lamoreaux.
In addition to "Robin Hood," Chancey has developed scores for four other silent films: "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", "The Mark of Zorro," "The Golem," and Buster Keaton's "The General." In each case, the music comes from (or is close to that of) the era depicted in the movie, and it allows for improvisatory embellishment.
"It is really exhilarating for us to do this kind of thing," she said. "I've heard people say you can't have a [musical] collaboration with something that's fixed, but we have done 'Robin Hood' 25 to 30 times now, and we'll all swear that the film changes a little each time."
If you go
"Robin Hood" with music score by Hesperus will be performed at 8 p.m. Friday at An die Musik, 409 N. Charles St. Tickets are $10 to $15. Call 410-385-2638 or go to andiemusik.live.com.

BMC Certified recommendations for customers adopting 9.xKiran Hullule Sep 22, 2016 2:16 AM
BMC Support and Engineering team worked together with few customer cases lately for Remedy 9 version. These cases were reported within performance and stability portion of the functionality. Upon reviewing/analysing series of logs data and troubleshooting it precisely, we (BMC) have come up with following recommendation that should help mitigate the maximum performance issues.
1. Run the config-checker tool post 9.1 upgrade/install and address anything that is flagged
This tool gives information about what is current setting/configuration on Remedy AR System/Database/Operating System etc. As a result of this tool execution, this also offers best possible setting that you can configure for Remedy 9.
2. Configure Database Parameters:-
Set Cursor Sharing in DB to EXACT
From 9.x onwards, Remedy uses bind variables, so cursor_sharing needs to be set to default value "EXACT" in the database.
Oracle cursor sharing has been documented here:
Set "_b_tree_bitmap_plans" to FALSE in the database
- Set the READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT to ON
- Set the PARAMETERIZATION to SIMPLE
MS-SQL Parameters have been documented here:
3. Apply the most current hotfix package for the server and midtier (If server group then on all servers)(ftp://ftp.bmc.com/pub/ARRecommendedFixes/)
4. For Medium size environments with 800-2,000 concurrent users and 16 GB RAM, set jvm.maximum.heap.size to at least 8589934592. For a Large environment (2000-5000 concurrent users and 32 GB RAM) set jvm.maximum.heap.size to at least 21474836480.
This needs to be set in arserver.config (Windows only) located in the 'ARSystem' directory. For Linux or Solaris, the file name is arserverd.conf
See https://docs.bmc.com/docs/display/public/brid91/Hardware+requirements for more details.
Add additional garbage collection parameters:
jvm.option.[xx]= -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError
jvm.option.[xx]= -XX:HeapDumpPath=<Path>
jvm.option.[xx]= -XX:ErrorFile=<Path>\hs_error_%p.log
Check the article: 000113248 to know the required steps to set these values.
5. If using Linux:
Set the nprocs value appropriately – the System admin need to monitor the thread usage (nproc value) during the peak periods and adjust the value accordingly. Please take the help from your system admin to correct/adjust the nprocs value and set the appropriate values for open files. Current values can be checked by running "ulimit –a" command.
Note: Please ensure that the number of threads/processes that Java can spawn is high enough to ensure the number of java processes/threads running. In case of any "hangs", please follow the link to capture the thread/heap dumps.

Schnittker Wins Six At Historic Track
Published: July 4, 2014 7:24 pm ET
No Comments | Jump to Comments
It was a nearly perfect day for Ray Schnittker.
Schnittker drove in seven Landmark Stakes events at Historic Track on Friday afternoon and came away with six victories. Among the winners was three-year-old male pacer Stevensville, who could be heading to the $450,000 Delvin Miller Adios at the end of the month.
Other winners for Schnittker, who is based at Historic Track, were two-year-old male trotter Gabe The Bear Dean, two-year-old female pacer Shes Ready To Rock, three-year-old female trotter Suegrabbitnrun, three-year-old male trotter Derby, and two-year-old female trotter Kaliska.
Gary Messenger trained two Landmark winners, two-year-old male pacer K J Ben and two-year-old female trotter Shes So Into Me, and Angus MacDonald sent out a winner in three-year-old female pacer Misty Major.
Stevensville, who was coming off a fifth-place finish in the Max C. Hempt Memorial on June 28 at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, won the $19,340 Landmark Stakes for three-year-old pacers in 1:58.1 over a sloppy track. Rain fell throughout the afternoon on an unseasonably cool 66-degree Fourth of July.
Owned by Schnittker, Paul Bordogna, and Ryan Miller, Stevensville has won seven of 21 career races and $185,079. He finished second in last year's Matron Stakes.
"He's been real good," Schnittker said. "He raced real good last week and I think if he'd gotten through a little sooner he would have been maybe third.
"We're going to go to the Adios, I think. I skipped the Meadowlands Pace. I think he's fifth to 10th best [in the division] and there's so much money later in the year, hopefully I can grab some."
Derby, who finished second in the Dexter Cup in May, won the $20,640 Landmark Stakes for three-year-old trotters in 2:03.3. The gelding is owned by Schnittker, Jeff Gural's Little E LLC, and Ted Gewertz. He has won three consecutive starts after starting the season with six setbacks.
"He's come around a little bit," Schnittker said. "He actually raced pretty good for Danny Cappello at Saratoga the last two starts. He had sort of an attitude problem, but it looks like he's starting to get it figured out now. Hopefully he'll end up having a good year."
Schnittker also was pleased with Kaliska, who won in 2:05.2, and Gabe The Bear Dean, who won in 2:03.
Kaliska (Credit Winner-Armbro Vivian) is owned by Schnittker, Thomas Spatorico, Pepin Stable, and Fam Alber Horse Racing. She is a full sister to stakes winner Frank The Hands. Gabe The Bear Dean (Lucky Chucky-Madam Hooch) is owned by Schnittker and Minix Stable.
"[Kaliska] kind of doesn't know what she's doing," Schittker said. "She figured out to go by [other horses] finally; usually she's a little bit late that way.
"Gabe The Bear Dean, I think he could be a real nice New York Sire [Stakes horse]. He's going next Wednesday at Buffalo. I think he's one of the better Lucky Chucky colts, so hopefully he'll be alright."
Suegrabbitnrun won in 2:01.4 for Schnittker and Charlie Iannazzo, who also bred the filly, and Shes Ready To Rock (Rocknroll Hanover-Sh's My Belle) won in 2:04.1 for owners Schnittker, Frank Baldassare, and Mary Kinsey.
K J Ben (Riggins-Winsmith Karen), driven by Jason Bartlett, won in 2:04 for breeder/owner Scott Woogen. In the next race, Shes So Into Me (Conway Hall-In To Me) and driver Jim Taggart Jr. won in 2:07 for owners Woogen and Brenda Messenger. Misty Major, also driven by Taggart, won in 2:03.3 for owner E.J. Treadway.
Friday's nine-race Landmark Stakes card was part of the Grand Circuit visit to Historic Track. Saturday features the New York Sire Stakes Excelsior Series and Billings Amateur Drivers Series. Sunday is Hall of Fame Day, which includes a race featuring drivers in the Harness Racing Hall of Fame along with 2014 inductee David Miller.
Post time each day is 1 p.m. for the first race.

Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine is given by injection to help prevent tuberculosis (TB). TB is a serious disease that can cause severe illness. It is spread by close contact with people who already have TB, such as people living in the same house. Some infected people do not appear to be sick, but they can still spread TB to others. BCG vaccine does not provide 100% protection. Therefore it is important to avoid people with TB, even if you have received the vaccine.
BCG vaccine is to be administered only by or under the direct supervision of a doctor.

Recycling is great, but it would nice if trees didn't have to be involved at all in paper production. More oxygen, more animal hangouts, good stuff. The Italian notebook maker Ogami agrees, so they've developed a line of paper products made out of rocks.
Ogami's paper, called "REPAP," is made by binding calcium carbonate (basically ground up limestone) and non-toxic resins. The result is a white, smooth paper that can fold like wood pulp paper, but doesn't rip. The process for making REPAP has a low environmental impact because there's no need to use bleaches or dyes to make the paper whiter, and the technique doesn't even use water.
REPAP products are about the price of a Moleskine, ranging from $15-$30, but carving something in stone gives it a lot more gravitas, don't you think? [Ogami via Werd]

Quarterback Kevin Kolb and linebacker Stewart Bradley did not practice Friday and are both listed as out for Sunday's game against Detroit, Eagles coach Andy Reid said.
Both players had left the facility before practice began.
"They feel really great," Reid said of Bradley and Kolb. Reid said they have shown no signs of lingering symptoms. He said the players have done exercise, which is part of the evaluation process.
Reid said Kolb and Bradley had "passed the written part of the concussion test. Their next test is to visit with the doctor later today and see what the results are." The players will see Dr. William Welch.
Reid had said earlier in the week that Bradley was ahead of Kolb. "Bradley was there before Kevin at that point [to go see the doctor]," Reid said today. "Bradley has felt pretty good for a couple of days."
Michael Vick will start at quarterback, his first start since the final game of the 2006 season, for the Atlanta Falcons (against the Eagles, by the way). Mike Kafka will serve as the backup quarterback. Reid declined to say who the third quarterback is, only that there are several emergency options.
Reid was asked whether Vick needed to play more conservatively, given that Kafka is the lone backup.
"He has to play his game," Reid said. "He can't worry about all that."
Vick said it was "great to be out there all week with the first unit," something he'd never done as an Eagle. "I'm ready to go," he said. "I've had a full week of preparation, a lot of film study and a lot of gameplanning. It's time to go."
He described himself as "not too nervous."
"I think last week kind of broke the ice for me as far as getting the jitters out and going out there and playing when the game counted and it was on the line, and being out there full time," Vick said.
Reid said the biggest difference between Vick now and Vick when he arrived last summer with the Eagles is that he has gotten in better shape and is getting more acclimated to the speed of the game.
"He wants to be a starter in the National Football League," Reid said. "He wants to up his game. That's the approach he has taken with this whole thing. He's a competitive, competitive guy. It's been fun to watch."
Said Vick: "It's been a long time since I felt this good physically and mentally. I'm just glad that I had a chance to work myself back into football shape and I'm very thankful that I had the opportunity to come back and play this game. So thankful for all of the people who helped get me in this position and put me in this position."
Reid said there were no other significant injuries to report. Everyone else on the injury report is listed as probable: WR Jason Avant (back), DE Antwan Barnes (wrist), RB Mike Bell (toe), G Nick Cole (knee), G Todd Herremans (ankle), T Austin Howard (back), LB Akeem Jordan (groin), DT Trevor Laws (oblique), P Sav Rocca (left hamstring).
He said he was still considering how the 45-man active roster will take shape, especially along the offensive and defensive lines.
The Eagles have elected a new player rep, right tackle Winston Justice, as they prepare for what is shaping up as an ugly battle with the owners. Justice said the team met with NFLPA representatives Thursday and voted to authorize the union leadership to decertify if necessary, as a tool to possibly foil a management lockout.
"I think we need to get behind the head of the NFLPA (DeMaurice Smith)," Justice said. "I think we need to be unified."

N° 29–2006: ESA astronaut Thomas Reiter's 3 August spacewalk from the International Space Station
28 July 2006
On 3 August at 15:55 hours CEST, ESA astronaut Thomas Reiter will step out of the International Space Station to begin a 6½ hour spacewalk (extra-vehicular activity). During this time, he and fellow NASA crew member Jeff Williams will install items of hardware in preparation for future ISS assembly work and will also set up for deployment a number of instruments and experiments mounted on the outside of the Station. This will be Reiter's third EVA, having already carried out two spacewalks on his EuroMir 95 mission in 1995.
Following the Shuttle Discovery's successful STS-121 mission earlier this month and Thomas Reiter's arrival onboard the ISS, for the first time since May 2003 the Station is now back up to a permanent crew of three. Reiter's fellow crew members on ISS Expedition 13 are Russian commander Pavel Vinogradov and NASA science officer Jeff Williams.
Station operations and maintenance take up a considerable proportion of Expedition 13 time. Since Discovery departed from the ISS on 15 July, the crew has in addition to that been busy conducting experiments and trials in a wide variety of fields including the human life sciences, physical sciences and Earth observation as well as education and technology demonstration.
Station assembly work will include preparations for expanding the Station's main truss and installing additional solar arrays. The next Shuttle mission, STS-115, is scheduled to proceed during Expedition 13 and will resume major assembly of the Station. The Shuttle and Station crews will work together to add items to the port truss structure. In late August Reiter will become a member of the Expedition 14 crew, when a Soyuz mission exchanges Vinogradov and Williams for Michael Lopez-Alegria (commander) and Mikhail Tyurin (flight engineer). Expedition 14 will see the arrival of two unpiloted Russian Progress cargo ships and the STS-116 mission with ESA astronaut Christer Fuglesang of Sweden on board.
Two spacewalks are planned during Reiter's stay: one US, the other Russian. They will focus on the continued fitting-out of the Station to prepare external hardware for the installing of additional Station elements and to prepare for external science experiments.
The first of the two spacewalks will take place on Thursday 3 August between 15:55 and 22:15 CEST and will feature Thomas Reiter and Jeff Williams. They will wear US spacesuits, Reiter's (EV2) plain white and Williams' (EV1) with red stripes.
During their activity outside, the astronauts will set up external hardware including the Floating Potential Measurement Unit (FPMU) designed to monitor ISS electrical charging to ensure better rendez-vous and docking and EVA safety, and two Materials International Space Station Experiments (MISSE 3 and 4). Reiter and Williams will prepare Station truss components for future assembly work by installing a motor controller on the thermal radiator rotary joint and deploying the new EVA infrared camera to monitor the condition of critical reinforced carbon-carbon material.
The first half-hour of the EVA is a preparatory phase devoted to airlock depressurisation, egress through to the outside and set-up tasks. This is followed by the installation of the FPMU, lasting about two hours. Setting-up MISSE 3 and 4 will then take approximately one hour. Motor controller installation on the thermal radiator rotary joint, inspection of the radiator beam valve module and setting up the EVA infrared camera will take about two hours. Clear-up and ingress back into the airlock will take up the last half-hour of the timeline.
In recent days, Reiter and Williams have been busy preparing for their spacewalk by flushing the Quest airlock and spacesuit cooling loops as well as configuring airlock systems and the tool set, which includes a pistol grip tool - a battery-powered screwdriver/wrench with several interchangeable heads used to bolt orbital replaceable units and other components. Other tools are various retractable or adjustable tethers, a trash bag and a special restraint device to position and keep the astronaut in the desired orientation at the worksite. The astronauts also reviewed robotic arm (Canadarm 2) procedures.
The spacewalk sets the stage for further assembly and power reconfiguration work to be done on the Station's electrical systems during the upcoming STS-115 and 116 Shuttle missions planned for August/September and December. Additional solar panels and electrical equipment will be delivered on those two missions.
How to follow the EVA
The spacewalk can be followed live from the Columbus Control Centre, located on the premises of the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) in Oberpfaffenhofen, near Munich. ESA astronauts and mission specialists will be available for interviews throughout.
Media representatives wishing to attend this event are requested to fill in the attached accreditation form.
Those unable to attend can follow it live on the internet.
To provide up-to-the-minute coverage of Thomas Reiter's 6½ spacewalk, ESA and DLR will be keeping an online EVA 'blog' diary (in English and German). The writers, located at the Control Centre, will work alongside veteran ESA astronaut Reinhold Ewald to provide the latest images, commentary and behind-the-scenes information on EVA progress as well as additional background on the technology of spacewalking.
The EVA blogs will be available from 2 August at the following addresses:
http://www.esa.int/evablog_en (English)
http://www.esa.int/evablog_de (German)
NASA TV will also be covering the event live:
Note for Editors
Thomas Reiter is the first non-US, non-Russian astronaut to become a permanent ISS crew member. In the future, he is due to be succeeded by other ESA, Japanese and Canadian astronauts. As flight engineer, he is in charge of vital tasks regarding ISS guidance and control, environmental control and life support systems, power control and communications, crew health & safety and extra-vehicular activity. On 3 August he will become the first ESA astronaut to have performed a spacewalk from the ISS. Here too he has considerable experience to draw on, having performed two EVAs during the six-month long EuroMir mission in 1995.
In September, Vinogradov and Williams will return to Earth to be replaced by NASA commander Michael Lopez-Alegria and Russian flight engineer Mikhail Tyurin, with whom Reiter will continue his mission.

About this blog…
"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z

As for Latin…
"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II

Revision as of 16:00, 21 August 2019
Macromedia Shockwave is Macromedia's first and most successful multimedia player prior to the advent of Macromedia Flash. In an attempt to raise its brand profile all Macromedia players prepended Shockwave to their names in the late 1990s. Although this campaign was very successful and helped establish Shockwave Flash as a dominant multimedia plugin, Shockwave and Flash became more difficult to maintain as two separate products. As of 2005, Macromedia marketed three distinct browser player plugins under the brand names Macromedia Authorware, Macromedia Shockwave and Macromedia Flash.
Although Macromedia Shockwave was designed for making a wide variety of online movies and animations, its actual use has become concentrated in the area of game development. Shockwave's 3D engine is still unchallenged in this market having replaced Java as the most popular engine for online games. Flash files can be played on a Shockwave player, but not vice versa. Other features not replicated by Flash include a much faster rendering engine, including hardware-accelerated 3D, direct pixel access on bitmap images, blend modes for layered display of graphic assets and support for various network protocols, including Internet Relay Chat. Furthermore Shockwave's functionality can be extended with so-called "Xtras". Unlike Flash, the Shockwave browser plugin is not available for Linux (or Solaris) despite very vocal lobbying efforts by the Linux community.
According to Macromedia.com, Macromedia Shockwave Player is available on 55.4% of Internet-enabled PCs (Shockwave Player Census). Macromedia Shockwave Player uses .DCR files created using the authoring tool Macromedia Director. Its MIME type is application/x-director. Macromedia Flash Player is available on 97.7% of Internet-enabled PCs (Flash Player Census). It uses .SWF files created using Macromedia Flash, FreeHand, Generator, and a number of third-party tools such as OpenOffice.org and Swish. Its MIME type is application/x-shockwave-flash.
