Modified Mustangs & FordsEvents
1963 Cobra CSX2023 Sells For $825k at Auctions America
Ft. Lauderdale Auction Brings in $21,039,631
Just recently we were invited down to South Florida for a chance to drive some incredible Fords waiting to cross the auction block at Auctions America. One set of keys tossed our way from Auctions America president Donnie Gould belonged to a very special topless beauty – one of the first AC "Shelby" Cobras, CSX2023. Check out our experience here!
This freshly-restored '63 Cobra just crossed over the auction stage where it raked in $825,000 after a lively bidding war, giving this Cobra top sale honors at the Ft. Lauderdale auction.
Why did it go for such a high price? Well, the CSX2023 Cobra is one of the first AC "Shelby" Cobras. Other features on this particular Cobra include the 289ci engine and four-wheel disc brakes hiding behind spoke wheels.
"The Fort Lauderdale sale gets better and better every year," said Donnie Gould, president of Auctions America. "This year, Auctions America had record high sales and over 30 percent new clientele—demonstrating that our reach is continuing to expand thanks to our promotional efforts and the dedication of our expert team of car specialists who work tirelessly to secure exciting and significant vehicles for the sale. This weekend's event was a fantastic success, the excitement on the auction block was electric and we're looking forward to continuing that energy throughout 2014."
The Shelby GT-350 Mustang that Brand Manager Marc Christ had the opportunity to drive also sold for a pretty penny -- $214,500. Another sweet Ford, a 2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition, sold for $412,500, a record for any Ford GT Heritage Edition at auction.
Next Auctions America auction will be the annual Auburn Spring collector car weekend May 8 – 10 at Auburn Auction Park in Indiana. Check out auctionsamerica.com for Ft. Lauderdale results ($21,039,631 total) and to see the 2014 Auctions America schedule!

Yep, and actually lots of things about this episode reminded me of Berserk. Blaze wheel, Berserk Armor, etc.
because A HANDFUL OF DOUBTING IDIOTS pissed their pants over trolls and magic armor. =)
It's Miura's wildest Berserk fantasies that he can't do because fans pissed their pants over trolls and magic armor. =)Could also be reverse psychology/testing the water for the final giant Beast vs. giant Femto kaiju fight that trashes Falconia. Make my (inner) monster grow!
And so, one of my dreams came true: Seeing Miura's own twist on the robotto genre.
Goura's totally white, by the way. Like chalk. Its blood is Nectar, and its bones are made out of Orichalcum!
When the transformation begins, a massive electricity jolt is released to the nearby area, and Prome uses that to either transmute or convert the sand into the form of the giant. Cool idea!
Goura's totally white, by the way. Like chalk. Its blood is Nectar, and its bones are made out of Orichalcum (the legendary metal of Atlantis)!
Fixed.I put some of the 2-page spreads together, but they're all missing a chunk in the middle. I should scan mine when it arrives:CLICK MECLICK ME TOOCLICK ME THREEMy only disappointment in this issue? It's over in 2 more...
I love those two page spreads. Especially that first one.
It's pretty awesome, guys.When the transformation begins, a massive electricity jolt is released to the nearby area, and Prome uses that to either transmute or convert the sand into the form of Goura. Cool idea!
What do you think is the explosion sort of stuff (or the cause of it) that we see in pages 18/19/23 behind Goura?
Do you think the Ganishka looking giant is sort of controlled by the person we see in the lower panel on Page 5/16?
BTW, the soldiers share armor similarities with Roman centurions
But what WAS surprising is that the leader has a seashell design on his helmet that looks a lot like the iconic one on Prome's head. It's also on a banner you can just barely see on page 4. Wonder what the connection is...?
More than ever, I really hope we learn how Prome and Delos met. 6 issues is too short...
The designs are actually inspired by Greek soldiers (that helmet with the 2 feathers on the side is characteristic), unsurprisingly. The Romans had borrowed a lot from them as well, which why it's easy to confuse the two.
The symbol of the empire? Athens was a considerable maritime power in Ancient Greece, could be the relation. Could also relate to Atlantis (since there's been talk of Orichalcum...), the name of which refers to Atlas originally, a primordial titan. Or maybe it's a relic from the old world, from which the empire could be issued (the remnants of its dominant nation?). I guess we'll see.
Well, it's short but that's also the beauty of it. You get to see a slice of something amazing and only get a glimpse of the rest of the world. Stimulates the imagination. Anyway I'm sure we will get some background information on their story before the end.
Of course, but specific parts of the helmet design looks very much like a Centurion's: http://www.swordsandarmor.com/images/H-910914-RD_Roman.jpg
All cool ideas. My first thought given the series' focus on biology was that it has something to do with harnessing the power of the natural world, since the seashell's spiral pattern is a simple symbol of the Golden Spiral/Golden Ratio, or a Fibonacci sequence--a kind of marriage between science and nature. But maybe I'm getting ahead of myself
And I can appreciate that, but when it comes to following episodic releases like this, I'm preconditioned to a grand series like Berserk that spans multiple volumes. Looking forward to learning just a little more before the end...
That is because, as I have mentioned, the Romans greatly inspired themselves (in many things, including armor) from the Greeks, as is common knowledge.
Well, you know, why not. The two ideas are not necessarily incompatible. That being said, I think Prome would better fit this refined symbol than an empire bent on subjugating all others.
And of course I know that. But when the Romans borrowed concepts, they weren't always carbon copies. And the helmet I linked to has a very specific design (even down to the pins in the helmet) that looks like the one in the issue.
That being said, the Attic Helmet IS very convincing. Check this out, it even has the seashell design: http://www.roman-reenactor.com/attic%20helmet.html
It's Miura's wildest Berserk fantasies that he can't do because fans pissed their pants over trolls and magic armor. =)Could also be reverse psychology/testing the water for the final giant Beast vs. giant Femto kaiju fight that trashes Falconia.
Looking at the story of Gigantomakhia so far, it's obvious to me and was from the beginning that Delos is a transposition of Heracles from the original Greek myth. The heroic warrior, embodiment of masculinity, champion of good. And given her nature and powers, it's also quite clear that Prome is a goddess. Her name suggests a relation to Prometheus, and I can't help but point out that she literally just fashioned a man out of sand in this episode. I can also easily imagine a scenario in which Delos rescued her from imprisonment when he rebelled against his former life. However Prometheus is a man, and aside from that Prome's looks better fit to me the idea of an Olympian than a Titan. Especially when you see what the titans are in the story. Furthermore, Prometheus was a trickser but not really a warrior, and Prome was described in the previous episode as being associated with martial arts. Looking at the Greek pantheon, the obvious answer is of course Athena, virgin goddess of war, heroism, justice, wisdom, mathematics, civilization, and more.So at this point Prome could still be a few different things, but I'm betting on her character being based on a mix of Prometheus and Athena.
But while there are certainly similarities, I don't think Miura's beholden to the original tale.
I actually am beginning to wonder if he considers this a retelling of sorts, or if he's merely drawing on certain elements of that myth.

Midlanders offer strong support for Afghanistan
The University of Nebraska at Omaha is bringing more Afghan teachers and scholars to the United States.
Thomas Gouttierre, director of UNO's Center for Afghanistan Studies, will spend most of October in Kabul interviewing candidates to become the first Fulbright Scholars from Afghanistan in 24 years.
UNO, which won the State Department contract for running the Fulbright Program in Afghanistan, recently tested about 120 candidates. The Fulbright Program in Washington will assign as many as 40 Afghan scholarship winners to universities in the United States for six months to a year of study.
UNO also is making plans to bring three groups of Afghan female teachers to Nebraska, continuing an educational and cultural exchange program started last year.
The next group of about a dozen teachers is scheduled to arrive Nov. 1. Two more groups will come next year.
The 13 teachers who visited last year in the first exchange are working in training back in Afghanistan, most of them in Kabul.
UNO's Raheem Yaseer met with the teachers in an August trip to Afghanistan. "They were happy and proud because they were using some of the techniques they learned here and the materials they brought back with them," Yaseer said.
Each of the teachers works with 10 teachers in her school, training them in techniques learned during their visit to UNO and schools in Omaha, Scottsbluff, Neb., and Oakland, Neb. Some of the teachers have been promoted to principals.
Midlands supporters donated $9,000 for the teachers' schools. Yaseer delivered that money to Kabul, and the teachers are drafting lists of items their schools need.
UNO's first program under the new Afghan government was the printing of textbooks and teaching materials and the training of teachers for the start of school in March 2002. The university's one-year contract was not renewed, but UNO is continuing the work using money left in the original grant.
UNO's programs are not the only local efforts to help in Afghanistan's reconstruction.
Dr. Ward Chambers, Sheila Ryan and Nizar Mamdani from the University of Nebraska Medical Center are in Karachi, Pakistan, this weekend to discuss how UNMC can help the Kabul University medical school.
While international relief agencies have made strides in providing health care to Afghans, Chambers said, "There hasn't been a concerted effort yet to help the education system in the health sciences."
Humanity International for Peace and Prosperity, based in Omaha and headed by Afghan native Tajuddin Millatmal, is sponsoring a class for 35 girls and women in the village of Shullana, near Jalalabad, Millatmal said. The class teaches reading and writing.
In addition, Millatmal said, his nonprofit organization sent two Creighton University students to Afghanistan with him in December to deliver six computers, a printer and a television and videocassette recorder to Nangarhar University in Jalalabad.

Karl Rove, former deputy chief of staff and senior adviser to President George W. Bush, will keynote the March 2 banquet at the California Republican Party's 2013 Spring Convention at the Hyatt Regency in Sacramento. The convention is March 1-3.
Rove — among the most respected or reviled political strategists of modern times, depending on your point of view — oversaw the Bush White House's offices of Strategic Initiatives, Political Affairs, Public Liaison, and Intergovernmental Affairs. He also was deputy chief of staff for policy, coordinating the White House policy-making process.
Before becoming known as "The Architect" of Bush's 2000 and 2004 campaigns, he was president of Karl Rove + Company, an Austin, Texas-based public affairs firm that worked for Republican candidates, nonpartisan causes and nonprofit groups. His clients included more than 75 Republican Senate, House and gubernatorial candidates in 24 states, as well as the Moderate Party of Sweden. He is also a Fox News contributor and writes a weekly column for The Wall Street Journal.

Rep. Mike Honda's replacement as vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee this week was "all amicable," a DNC spokesman told me today, hinting the South Bay congressman can expect support even as a well-funded Democratic challenger might be emerging.
"His service to the president and the party won't go unrecognized in the future," DNC Communications Director Brad Woodhouse said.
I'd written an item Tuesday about the DNC's officer elections, linked to an article about contention over who would serve as secretary. DNC sources had told me that day that Honda, D-San Jose, had hoped to continue on as one of the party's vice chairs, but that he withdrew from contention when he saw the writing on the wall; freshman Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, whom Honda was helping raise campaign funds just months ago, now holds the post.
But Woodhouse said today that whether or not Honda initially had hoped to stay on, "By everything I've been told and everything I've observed … he was amenable, he was supportive" of the change.
"He was so terrific in this role, he was so terrific as a vice chair and representing the AAPI (Asian-American/Pacific Islander) community," Woodhouse said. "That's going to be recognized. … He's a key ally of the party and of the president."
Such recognition and support could become crucial if Honda seeks another term. As I'd reported Monday, rumors abound that Ro Khanna — the former Obama administration Commerce Department official who raised an eye-popping $1.2 million in the last quarter of 2011, but chose not to challenge Rep. Pete Stark in 2012 — may choose to run against Honda in the 17th District in 2014.
Khanna wouldn't confirm this Monday, saying he's still considering all his options, but the allure of running in the continental United States' first majority AAPI district — from which Khanna derived much of his campaign war chest — must be significant. Khanna's donor list also included some notable national Democratic donors, a sign of the strong network he has built over the past several years, but given Woodhouse's words today, it'll be interesting to see how and whether the DNC brings pressure to bear should he challenge Honda.

Wabash ended Allegheny's string of seven consecutive North Coast Athletic Conference Men's Cross Country Championships on Saturday. The Little Giants claimed their first NCAC title in the sport with four of their top-five runners earning All-NCAC honors.
The Little Giants scored a total of 52 points, edging out the six-time defending champion Gators with a total 65 points. Ohio Wesleyan was a close third with 67 points.
The cross country title is the first ever for the Little Giants in the sport since joining the NCAC for the 1999 fall season. Wabash has won an indoor and an outdoor track and field and baseball championships in 2011. The Little Giants have also won football championships in 2002, 2005, 2007 and 2008. Wabash shared the 2006 NCAC football title with Wittenberg.
Senior Kevin McCarthy was the top finisher for Wabash, crossing the finish line in 25:15.6 to take second place overall — his best time of the season. Denison's Dee Salukombo won the individual title with a time of 25:09.1.
Fellow senior Brian David turned in his best effort of the year, crossing the finish line in 25:31.8 to earn First Team All-NCAC honors for a fourth-place finish. Sophomore Dalton Boyer added a ninth-place finish with a time of 26:07.3.
Senior Kenny Farris was the number-four runner for the Little Giants, also earning All-NCAC honors with his 15th-place finish. Farris posted a time of 26:24.6, his best of the season. Freshman Billy McManus was the final scorer for Wabash, just missing a spot on the All-NCAC team with his 22nd-place finish. McManus took 26:46.8 to run the 8000-meter course.
"I'm really proud of our effort today," Head Coach Roger Busch '96 said. "Coach (Clyde) Morgan and I have been talking about this all week. I think some people may have written us off after they learned Donavan White --- one of our top guys --- was going to be out with an injury. But we had other guys step up. Dalton Boyer and Kenny Farris both ran well. We had the top-four freshmen in the conference meet.
"This is exciting for us. It was a really close team race. We spent a lot of time gearing up for this championship race. It was great to see the whole team perform like this and work together to win the title."
Nick Boyce finished 26th (26:56.8), while Jake Waterman was 27th (27:01.8). Daniel Hoover finished 29th (27.09.0). Sam Starbuck was 31st (27:16.6) and Jared Burris added a 32nd place finish (27:19.6).
Colin Dunlap finished 37th (27:24.4). Jacob Ponton took 44th place (27:29.5).

There are two ways for people to donate to Jamestown to help it rebuild its devastated infrastructure.

Or mail donations to Jamestown Mercantile, P.O. Box 59, Jamestown, CO 80455.
Beloved Jamestown resident Joey Howlett was well known for his love of life and generosity toward others.
Close friend, and former "Jimtowner" Jim Babcock eulogized Howlett Saturday during a memorial service at The Greenbriar Inn, boiling the lesson of Howlett's life down to three words: "Love, live, give."
Babcock recalled that when he was teaching at a Boulder pre-school many years ago his hours were cut so that he was only working four days per week, which is when Howlett came to his aid, asking him to watch his then 7-year-old son, Zach, on Fridays.
"Joe appreciated the days I spent with Zach and he was so careful not to make this act of kindness ever seem or feel like charity. I will always be grateful." Babcock said. "Joe's love -- the essence of Joe -- will continue to live and to grow exponentially, if we aspire to be as generous in our love and kindness as Joe was."
Howlett, the former owner of the Jamestown Mercantile restaurant, music venue and community meeting place, was viewed by many as a patriarch of the small mountain town.
He was one of four Boulder County residents killed in last month's devastating flooding. Howlett lost his life when a mudslide destroyed his house, according to speakers at his memorial.
"As my good friend Mary said when she learned of this tragedy, he gladly would have died for this town and the people in it," son Zachary Howlett said at the service. "And many have told me in a sense he did give his life to save the town. The collapse of our house brought home the severity of the situation early on in the disaster."
The younger Howlett described his father as a self-made man who overcame poverty and a difficult childhood to put himself through college. He called his father generous to a fault and said he believed Joey Howlett would have been very proud of the way his Jamestown neighbors were there for each other during the flood and have continued to help one another in the days and weeks after.
"If we are judged by the lives we touch and the opinions of our neighbors I think it is no overstatement to call Dad a great man," he said. "Dad's memory will live on in the rebirth of this town and in the connections and bonds of this community. He would be so proud of the tremendous outpouring of goodwill and mutual aid that is rebuilding Jamestown."
Zach Howlett said he hopes his father's property will become a community garden where the town's children will someday play.
The admiration Howlett's friends and neighbors had for him and his exuberance for life was obvious at the memorial, which after several hours at the Greenbriar, moved to Wapos Mexican Cocina in north Boulder. It was expected to carry on there, through the night.
It is believed that Howlett was the first male member of the "Jimtown Ladies' Marching Kazoo Band," and he led the group for two decades in Jamestown's Fourth of July Parade. It helps that the kazoo is an instrument for which the only requirement to play is enthusiasm, because the estimated 350 people who attended his memorial were asked to play along in a kazoo tribute to Howlett.
"We hope to hum Joey into the great kazoo band in the sky," Jamestown resident Laura Williams said, also pledging to carry on his musical legacy during future Fourth of July parades.
The crowd, playing donated instruments from Kazoobie Kazoos, then joined in joyful versions of The Beatles' "When I'm Sixty-Four" and "Yellow Submarine," as well as the traditional "When the Saints Go Marching In."
During an open mic portion of the event friends and neighbors shared stories and memories of Howlett or sang songs to honor him, including a moving version of the Grateful Dead's "Brokedown Palace," sung by LuLu Sheldon.
Attendees were asked to donate $20 to help pay for food, tax and gratuity for the event -- though organizers credited the Greenbriar for giving significant discounts. Any money left over was expected to go to rebuilding efforts in flood-ravaged Jamestown.
Rainbow Schultz, who along with her husband, Adam Burrell, bought the Jamestown "Merc" from Joey several years ago, called him her best friend during the service.
She remembered how he loved everyone -- "He even loved cyclists" -- and had an infectious enthusiasm for life.
One of the first things Schultz said comes to her mind when she thinks about Howlett was how he would give her a big hug first thing in the morning when they were both still bundled up in their cold-weather gear.
"In the early morning, it's like a whole smash-up of coats and hats more than a hug, but he didn't wait like other people to begin the joy of everyday," she said.

Mid-ocean Ridges
Bathymetric image of the East Pacific Rise, a mid-oceanic ridge located along the floor of the Pacific Ocean. (Image courtesy of Haymon et al., NOAA-OE, WHOI)
The mid-ocean ridge is a continuous range of undersea volcanic mountains that encircles the globe almost entirely underwater. It is a central feature of seafloor terrain that is more varied and more spectacular than almost anything found on dry land, and includes a collection of volcanic ridges, rifts, fault zones, and other geologic features.
At nearly 60,000 kilometers (37,000 miles) long, the mid-ocean is the longest mountain range on Earth. It formed and evolves as a result of spreading in Earth's lithosphere—the crust and upper mantle—at the divergent boundaries between tectonic plates. The vast majority of volcanic activity on the planet occurs along the mid-ocean ridge, and it is the place where the crust of the Earth is born. The material that erupts at spreading centers along the mid-ocean ridge is primarily basalt, the most common rock on Earth.
Because this spreading occurs on a sphere, the rate separation along the mid-ocean ridge varies around the globe. In places where spreading is fastest (more than 80 millimeters, or 3 inches, per year), the ridge has relatively gentle topography and is roughly dome-shaped in cross-section as a result of the many layers of lava that build up over time. At slow- and ultra-slow spreading centers, the ridge is much more rugged, and spreading is dominated more by tectonic processes rather than volcanism.
Scientists study the physics, chemistry, and biology of mid-ocean ridges gain insight into how Earth works in very fundamental and often surprising ways.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israel's Ma'ariv newspaper reported on Tuesday that, far from providing real relief to the residents of Gaza, the breach of the Gaza-Egypt border last week provided an opportunity for Palestinians and Egyptians to cheat one another.
According to the newspaper, many of the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who poured across the border into Egypt to buy non-essential goods that Israel has placed an embargo on used counterfeit Israeli money to make their purchases.
Phony Israeli currency has reportedly been printed in Gaza since Israel withdrew from the territory in 2005.
But the Egyptians also failed to play fair, reportedly selling food and other perishable goods to the Palestinians that were past their expiration dates.
Meanwhile, Egyptian Bedouins on Monday violently confronted and turned away Palestinian shoppers. Bedouins interviewed by Reuters complained that the Palestinians had exhausted nearly all supplies in the border town of Rafah, and had driven up the prices on remaining goods to a level that local Egyptians can no longer afford.

Camille Cross, a catcher from Friendship Christian School; and Lacy Walker, an infielder from Station Camp High School, have signed to play for the Lady Bisons. Both are expected to provide versatility with the ability to play several positions.
"Since we do not have any seniors this year and will be returning everyone from this current team for next year, we felt that it was vital to bring in a couple of players who would supplement the players we have," said Peck. "Our goals for this class were to find a couple of players who have some visible strengths to immediately bring to the table, and who are ready to learn and develop in our system.
"We wanted to find two players who we felt like could be better in the future than what they are now. We also wanted to find quality student-athletes and people who would fit in with our program and Lipscomb University. We feel like we have found all of those qualities in these two excellent student-athletes who will represent what Lipscomb Softball is all about…and we did not have to leave the state in either case."
Walker, who lives in Hendersonville, is the daughter of Shawn and Kenneth Walker. She will be the fourth generation of her family to attend Lipscomb University.
"Lacy is also an outstanding student and person who is already very familiar with Lipscomb," said Peck. "She comes from a great family, and we are anxious to get her onto the field with us next fall."
At Station Camp Walker was a member of the All-District Team in 2006, 2007 and 2008. She was also the team MVP in softball in both 2007 and 2008.
Walker's .461 batting average is the highest in school history. She also had 23 steals, also the most in season for Station Camp.
Walker has also been honored for her academic achievements as well. She is a member of the Beta Club, the National Honor Society, National Honor Roll (2006 and 2007); National Society of High School Scholars (2oo6), Who's Who Among American High School Students (2006, 2007) and Who's Who Among American High School Athletes (2006, 2007). She is also a member of Noah's Promise, DECA and serves as treasurer of the Interact Club.
"We are very excited about the addition of Lacy to our team," said Peck. "She is someone who is going to bring a lot of versatility and speed to the table, and she is going to push our infielders and outfielders right away. Defensively, she brings the ability to play nearly anywhere, and offensively she brings consistency and speed.
"Lacy goes hard all the time and plays a very gutsy game. She will fit in very well with the style of our program and the direction we are going, and we are excited to see her continue to develop at this level."
Cross, who lives in Lebanon, is the daughter of Jackie and Corky Cross. She is also no stranger to Lipscomb. Two of her sisters attended Lipscomb. Her parents are Belmont graduates. Her father also played basketball at Belmont.
Camille's personality makes her a joy to be around," said Peck. "She is another dedicated student-athlete with a great family, and we cannot wait to get her on campus."

Experience the most popular non-surgical alternative to liposuction with VelaShape™!
The Lipo-LaserВ' is non-invasive treatment and is considered one of the most innovative method to reduce the appearance of cellulite and improve body contour. The Lipo-Laser is an FDA approved, physician validated technology.
The treatment is not based on heat development but on photochemical and photobiological effects on cells and tissue. When the laser radiates the adipocytes (adipocytes are present in the adipose tissue and store energy as fat) the contents of the cells move out of the cell membrane and become liquefied and are easily removed from the body. The breakdown of the fat stored inside the fat cells is known as lipolysis.
Laserium is pleased to announce one of the best technologies, to treat and provide a gentle, non-invasive, long-lasting solution to permanently remove unwanted hair on all body parts and any skin type, including ethnic and dark complexions. Laserium MedSpa has two locations in Dallas and Plano to provide the best and permanent laser hair removal solution for unwanted hair.
Laserium is one of the top laser hair removal company in Dallas and DFW area.Our laser gently cools the surface of the skin as pulses of light are selectively absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles. The absorbed light damages the existing hair and destroys the regrowth potential of the follicle, all while protecting the surrounding tissue. The end result is significant, and permanent hair removal.
What is Glycolic Peel?
Glycolic acid is the hydroxy acid (AHA) naturally derived from sugarcane which has been proven to be the most beautifying. Gly Derm is our product of choice and is only distributed in a medically supervised environment. Gly Derm contains high amounts of glycolic acid and are therefore more effective than any over the counter brands.

Stone Sour to Shoot Video for 'House of Gold & Bones Pt. 2′ Single 'Do Me a Favor'
Stone Sour's Corey Taylor recently suggested that the promotion of the band's forthcoming album, 'House of Gold & Bones Pt. 2' would start sooner than later, and it looks like the track 'Do Me a Favor' will be the introduction to the second half of the ambitious collection.
The band revealed that they'll shoot a video for the song with director Phil Mucci, who has previously worked with Korn, Opeth and High on Fire, among others. The track has also been confirmed to go for radio adds on Feb. 12, making it the lead single from the upcoming release.
Taylor recently suggested that while a single for Pt. 2 would be the next release, there would still be more singles from Pt.1, and that the band would likely alternate promoting songs between the two albums over the next year.
In addition to the April release of 'House of Gold & Bones Pt. 2,' a new comic book series is expected to debut this spring and Taylor has discussed turning the themes of the albums into a pair of movies when time permits.

UNION CITY � A playoff berth was on the line Friday night for the Union City Chargers with Jonesville in town.
The Comets put a stop to that.
A resurgent Jonesville squad kept their winning streak alive and playoff hopes in sight with a 58-27 thrashing at Alumni Field. The Comets won the battle in the trenches all night long, as they pounded and pounded the Union City defense.
"Defensively, we have some work to do," said Charger coach Chris Davis. "They (Jonesville) dominated the line of scrimmage on their side of the ball."
Jonesville put together a nice opening drive, picking up chunks of yardage as backs Brandon Jenkins, Cody Hath, Collin Edinger and Tyler Bognar � who converted a critical third and one from the seven. The opening score came on the next play, as Jenkins ran in from seven yards out. Jenkins kicked the point after making it a 7-0 game.
Union City's first possession was disasterous. After Josh Holton ran for 26 yards on first down, two snaps went over the head of quarterback Brady Johnson, which set up a fourth and 40, forcing a Union City punt.
Jonesville went down the field once again, riding Jenkins the majority of the way, as the senior scored on a 25-yard run. The point after made it a 14-0 game, but Union City came back quickly. The Chargers took over on their own 43 and Holton bounced outside for a 57-yard score. Scott Alwood kicked the extra point to make it a 14-7. In the second quarter, Josh Holton scored on a six-yard run and Aaron Watson scored on a 52-yard run. Jonesville scored 20 points in the second quarter to take a 34-21 lead into the half.
In the third, Holton scored for the final time on the night with an 82-yard score. The Comets tacked on 24 points more to pull away for the win. Offensively, the Chargers gained 361 yards on the night, with 291 coming on the ground on 21 rushes.
Josh Holton had 214 yards on 11 carries to put him over 1,500 yards on the season. Brady Johnson was 3 of 7 passing for 70 yards and an interception.
Defensively, Chris Rieger had 20 tackles on the night with Aaron Watson and Devon DiGiacomo tallying 10 each.
Jonesville rushed for 624 yards on the night.
"We had to keep them off the field because of (Holton)," said Jonesville coach Clay Pelham. "They couldn't stop us, we knew that going in. We just kept rolling, and it's fun."
Union City is 5-2 overall and 4-2 in the Big Eight and travel to Reading next Friday night.
Jonesville runs all over UC, 58-27

Buffalo ARM9 Kernel Port
- 1 Preparation
- 2 Stock GPL Release Kernel
- 3 Mainline and Debian Kernel
- 4 Compilation
- 5 Links
Toolchain (Compiler)
If compilation is done on the embedded device itself (or another device with the same architecture), then a native toolchain is sufficient. But as embedded devices are not very powerful, this is normally not the case.
Compilation for the embedded device is normally done on a fast PC. This is called "Cross Compiling".
When cross-compiling the architecture to build for and the prefix of the cross-compiler have to be stated when calling commands. Typing can be reduced by exporting the environment variables ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE with the correct values. All commands listed in this article will explicitly state these parameters.
There are several cross compiler for ARM available:
- Codesourcery's ARM toolchain is recommended as it is also used by Buffalo (see NAS-Central Wiki Page for more info).
- If the cross compile machine runs Debian, Ubuntu, or similar, you can also use the cross compilation toolchain repository supplied by Emdebian.
- Gentoo users may use sys-devel/crossdev.
- Download mkimage to somewhere in your path.
- Gentoo users may get it by emerging dev-embedded/u-boot-tools
- Debian has a package named uboot-mkimage.
- Ensure you have the devio command installed (sys-block/devio in Gentoo and devio in Debian).
Stock GPL Release Kernel
Linux version 188.8.131.52-arm1 (email@example.com) (gcc version 3.4.4 (release) (CodeSourcery ARM 2005q3-2)) #69 Wed Oct 1 10:59:37 JST 2008
Kernel ONLY Source available at Buffalo's GPL Storage, e.g.linux-2.6.16_lsp.1.7.8.tar.gz
How to Get GPL Build Kernel Run Under Linkstation Live Stock Environment
Before You Begin: You don't need the below patch if you don't use your custom build kernel with the Stock environment - especially ture while need to use together with the Stock initrd.buffalo. Product ID below only applicable to Linkstation Live, no need to modify if your box is Linkstation Pro.
In the current release GPL Kernel Soruce above, Buffalo did not provide any means to setup correct Product ID for Linkstation Live in the Makefile. Without the correct Product ID in kernel, Linkstation will enter EM Mode upon reboot. We have to patch one of the source file directly in order to get the kernel work with the Stock initrd and root filesystem.
Code Modification - buffalocore.c
Change directory to top of the source tree and modify buffalo/drivers/buffalocore.c like below:
Search and change the line from: len += sprintf(buf+len,"PRODUCTNAME=LS-GL(IESADA)\n"); to: len += sprintf(buf+len,"PRODUCTNAME=HS-DHGL(JINMU)\n");
Search and change the line from: len += sprintf(buf+len,"PRODUCTID=0x00000009\n"); to len += sprintf(buf+len,"PRODUCTID=0x0000000A\n");
After that you can 'make ARCH=arm menuconfig' to add/remove kernel options as usual and build the kernel.
Stock File System Modification
When you reboot the Linkstation with the new build kernel it will enter EM Mode, use acp_commander to reset root password and enable telnet access. Logon to the Linkstation and enter:
grep BUILDDATE /proc/buffalo/firmware
Replace the above grep output line with the same line in /etc/linkstation_release and reboot. Your Linkstation should now resume to normal mode.
Mainline and Debian Kernel
jonli447 and lb_worm were trying to create a patch for the vanilla kernel [1] so we could use the kernel.org sources for the arm9-buffalo-boxes easily. But the guys from Marvell have done a great job in doing that so the nas-central community have stopped efforts in doing that to focus on helping with the Marvell's git. Marvell's code was merged into 2.6.25 with the latest development going into the Orion repository which has been merged into mainline.
At this time (12/21/2008) the kernel (2.6.28-rc9) supports:
- Buffalo Terastation Pro II/Live
- Buffalo Linkstation Pro/Live
- Buffalo Linkstation Mini
- Linksys WRT350N v2
- Technologic Systems TS-78xx
- LaCie Ethernet Disk mini V2
- Maxtor Shared Storage II
- Netgear WNR854T
- Marvell Orion-VoIP GE Reference Design
- Marvell Orion-VoIP FXO Reference Design
- Marvell Orion-1-90 AP GE Reference Design
- The Buffalo Linkstation Pro/Revogear Kurobox Pro support (MV88F5182)
- The Marvell Orion-2 (MV88F5281) Development Board
- The OrionNAS Reference Design board (MV88F5182)
- The D-Link DNS-323 board (MV88F5181)
- The QNAP TS109/209/409 boards (MV88F5182 & MV88F5281)
- The HP Media Vault mv2120
Containing support for devices:
- The NAND Flash controller
- The SATA controller
- The Ethernet controller
- The USB controller
- The PCI controller
- The GPIO controller
- The Serial Port controller
- The I2C controller
XFS has had problems on arm for a long time. Two patches [2][3] have improved the situation but there is still one problem remaining [4].
The things that are not yet supported :
- The CESA hardware engine is not yet supported (usefull for cryptographic and security operations)
- The XOR hardware engine is not yet supported (usefull for iSCSI or RAID5 operations)
- OABI rootfs & applications when using a 88F5281-D0 (other SoC are OK)
If you want to talk about this kernel, please do it here
Note: By using the kernels from svn/git, users are still subject to the LinkstationWiki BetaTesters ToS and Disclaimer (Not trying to scare people, just warning newbies).
Prepare Mainline kernel source
This describes how to prepare a vanilla kernel build.
- Obtain the kernel sources, this can either be 2.6.25 or greater from kernel.org or you can use the Orion development repository. Then change to your sources directory.
wget -N http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-22.214.171.124.tar.gz tar xzpvf linux-18.104.22.168.tar.gz cd linux-184.108.40.206
git clone git://git.marvell.com/orion.git
- Create the kernel config:
Note that the default kernel configuration for Orion 5x may not work with the intended NAS/device and therefore has to be changed to fit.
make ARCH=arm mrproper make ARCH=arm orion5x_defconfig
Prepare Debian kernel source
This describes how to prepare a Debian kernel build. If more Debian-related information is needed, please refer to the Debian Linux Kernel Handbook, e.g. sections 4.1 and 4.5.
- Find out what kernel version is currently used by Debian.
uname -a Linux debian5 2.6.26-2-686 #1 SMP Tue Mar 9 17:35:51 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
Here it is version 2.6.26 on a Debian 5.0 Lenny system.
- Install the corresponding Debian kernel source package.
aptitude install linux-source-2.6.26
The source archive will be placed in /usr/src.
- Extract the source into the build directory (normally current directory).
tar xjf /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.26.tar.bz2
It will be available in the sub-directory ./linux-source-2.6.26.
- Just like with a mainline (or vanilla) kernel you may use the kernel default config for Orion.
Note that the default mainline/vanilla configuration for Orion 5x is just a very rough base config to start with, and will probably not work with the intended NAS/device.
make ARCH=arm orion5x_defconfig
- At this point this is the same as for the Mainline kernel, except for the included Debian patches.
- Additionally the config used by the Debian team for their official kernel is available in the kernel binary package.
The kernel package for the ARM architecture can be downloaded to and extracted on any system.
wget -N http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-image-2.6.26-2-orion5x_2.6.26-21_armel.deb dpkg-deb -x linux-image-2.6.26-2-orion5x_2.6.26-21_armel.deb linux-image-2.6.26-2-orion5x
The config is available in the sub-directory ./linux-image-2.6.26-2-orion5x/boot.
Note that this is just a base config to build on.
There's a list of other Debian mirrors available.
- Clean the build directory and copy the Debian config.
cd linux-source-2.6.26 make ARCH=arm mrproper cp ../linux-image-2.6.26-2-orion5x/boot/config-2.6.26-2-orion5x .config
Note that the default Debian configuration for Orion 5x may not work with the intended NAS/device and therefore has to be changed to fit.
On Linkstation Live v2 the debian config for kernel 2.6.26-2 does not work, resulting in reboot loop.
A debian config for kernel 2.6.26-2 that works at least on Linkstation Live v2 is Davy Gravy's defconfig-2.6.26-debian-full-653modules (alternative link: config-2.6.26-2-orion5x.freelink.davy_gravy).
Extra: To find out the 100% correct kernel binary package and version, and not just by browsing the download directory and using uname on another Debian system, a little more investigation has to be done:
- Download the package list for ARM and extract it.
wget -N http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/binary-armel/Packages.bz2 bunzip Packages.bz2
- Searching the required information can be done manually. But to make this task less error-prone and easier, especially if done several times (e.g. new kernel), create the following script and make it executable: (Thanks to LinuxQuestions.org)
nano get_debian_package_detail.sh
#!/bin/bash sed -n ' '/"Package: $1"/' { x d } '/"Package: $1"/' !{ H } '/"$2"/' { H x '/"Package: $1"/' { s/\(.*\)\('"$2"'\)\(.*\)/\3/ p d } }' ${3:+"$3"}
chmod +x get_debian_package_detail.sh
- With the help of the script search the Packages file for the package "linux-image-orion5x" and get the value from its "Depends:" line.
./get_debian_package_detail.sh 'linux-image-orion5x' 'Depends: ' Packages > linux-image-2.6.26-2-orion5x
- Then search that above found package and use its "Filename:" value to download from a Debian mirror.
./get_debian_package_detail.sh 'linux-image-2.6.26-2-orion5x' 'Filename: ' Packages > pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-image-2.6.26-2-orion5x_2.6.26-21_armel.deb
Compile Kernel (zImage)
- Run the following command to make any changes to the config file (including any ReiserFS or JFS support).
Setting the Local Version under General Version with a recognizable string is recommended (e.g. -freelink-<your nick>).
make ARCH=arm menuconfig
For more information see the discussion page.
- Run
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/toolchain/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi- zImage
Prepare zImage for embedded device
- After kernel has finished compiling, you need to force it to use the correct mach-type for your device:
# The version number at the end of each line is the kernel version that first # supported that device. Run only the line that corresponds to your device. # This will set the machine type of the kernel, which cannot be autodetected. # Last 2 characters of wl-command form the machine types. So '0631' for the Linkstation Pro. devio > foo 'wl 0xe3a01c06,4' 'wl 0xe3811031,4' # Linkstation Pro/Live (2.6.26) devio > foo 'wl 0xe3a01c05,4' 'wl 0xe38110e5,4' # Kurobox Pro (2.6.25) devio > foo 'wl 0xe3a01c06,4' 'wl 0xe381101d,4' # QNAP TS-109/TS-209 (2.6.25) devio > foo 'wl 0xe3a01c06,4' 'wl 0xe3811041,4' # QNAP TS-409 (2.6.27?) devio > foo 'wl 0xe3a01c06,4' 'wl 0xe3811006,4' # D-Link DNS-323 (2.6.25) devio > foo 'wl 0xe3a01c06,4' 'wl 0xe381109d,4' # HP Media Vault MV2120 (2.6.27?) devio > foo 'wl 0xe3a01c06,4' 'wl 0xe3811074,4' # Technologic Systems TS-78xx SBC (2.6.27?) devio > foo 'wl 0xe3a01c06,4' 'wl 0xe38110e6,4' # Maxtor Shared Storage II (2.6.27) devio > foo 'wl 0xe3a01c06,4' 'wl 0xe3811061,4' # Linksys WRT350N v2 (2.6.27?) devio > foo 'wl 0xe3a01c07,4' 'wl 0xe3811027,4' # Buffalo Linkstation Pro Duo (Is this right?) devio > foo 'wl 0xe3a01c07,4' 'wl 0xe3811042,4' # Buffalo Linkstation Mini devio > foo 'wl 0xe3a01c06,4' 'wl 0xe3811030,4' # Buffalo TS Pro V2 (not yet supported in Vanilla 2.6.26 as of Aug. 10th, 2008) devio > foo 'wl 0xe3a01c07,4' 'wl 0xe3811065,4' # Netronix NH-233 # Run all of the following: cat foo arch/arm/boot/zImage > zImage.new mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n 'linux' -d zImage.new uImage.new rm foo zImage.new
- The new uImage will be called uImage.new, copy this to its destination. For a Linkstation/Kuro this is the /boot/uImage.buffalo.
- If necessary, compile modules and be sure if you are cross compiling not to set the install path to the hosts root:
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/toolchain/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi- modules make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/toolchain/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi- modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/absolute/dir/loc/not/root/dir>
- copy lib/ directory that is created to / of linkstation

Iconic hotel is lone Lake Placid property to offer combination AAA Four Diamond lodging and dining overlooking Mirror Lake Lake Placid, N.Y. - With the release of two recent readers' surveys, Conde Nast Traveler skiers and visitors alike agree that Mirror Lake Inn Resort and Spa in Lake Placid is among the finest upscale lodging properties on the continent. In back-to-back readers' polls, a total of 19,534 Conde Nast Traveler respondents said that the AAA Four Diamond property overlooking Mirror Lake is the best in the Northeast over the past two years, and ranked it the fifth best ski hotel in North America in 2012 and 2013. Mirror Lake Inn Resort and Spa is the only New York property in the exclusive Conde Nast Traveler top 20 ski hotel listing. "And who would have thought that a ski hotel 2,000 miles east of Colorado would rank among the top five," wrote Conde Nast Traveler contributor Molly Fergus in the December 2013 issue. "But Lake Placid's luxe Mirror Lake Inn Resort and Spa did just that. The historic inn's three restaurants plate the best food in the Adirondacks." The resort, which features the AAA Four Diamond-rated The View Restaurant, Taste Bistro and Bar and The Cottage Café, is the first eastern hotel in the skiers preferred ranking, and was rated second on the top 20 food list. "We are a hotel run by skiers for skiers," said owner Ed Weibrecht, whose son Andrew won a 2010 Olympic bronze medal in Super G. The medal is proudly displayed at the Inn's front desk. Ed, wife Lisa, and their siblings can always be found during the season at nearby Whiteface Mountain. "All seven in my family are avid skiers, from an Olympic medalist right on down the line. Skiers should know that we understand their needs.....from a speedy skier breakfast in winter, to relaxing lounges for après ski, a world-class spa and award-winning dining options in the evening. And let's not forget the complimentary (village) shuttle from our front door to the mountain." Previously Mirror Lake Inn landed at the head of the class in the Northeast top 20. Lake Placid's only establishment offering Four Diamond lodging and dining received an average score of 93.8 of a possible 100 points covering the categories of rooms, service, food, design, location and activities. In the Best of the Northeast survey readers ranked Mirror Lake Inn ahead of Stowe Mountain Lodge and Trapp Family Lodge, both in Vermont; Mohonk Mountain House in New York; Inn by the Sea in Maine; Nemacolin Woodlands in Pa.; and Hidden Pond in Kennebunkport. Among the listing of ski hotels readers scored Mirror Lake Inn ahead of The Four Seasons in Jackson Hole, Wyo.; The St. Regis at Deer Valley, Utah; The Ritz Carlton in Lake Tahoe, Calif.; and the Woodstock Inn and Resort in Vermont. Mirror Lake Inn achieves this with a local, hands-on approach. The Weibrechts live in a home behind the hotel and are not propped up by a corporate operation. They are on-site daily, resulting in hospitality that's more personal and entrepreneurial, not cookie-cutter. Reservationists, in fact, are located inside the hotel's main building. "My feeling is that guests understand that the Mirror Lake Inn is about family, theirs and ours, here at the hotel," said Lisa Weibrecht. "Both are important to us. We treat our staff members like family and in turn, they treat our guests in the same manner." The service oriented approach has led to numerous plaudits.

"Hopefully it ends up in a place where I'm a Met and everybody is happy about that," Dickey said yesterday at the Harlem Dream School, where he participated in a book campaign for kids.
According to Puma's source, if Dickey receives a contract extension, it would almost definitely eliminate the possibility he is traded this offseason.
Dickey said he is understanding of rumors that suggest he could be traded, because he believes Sandy Alderson's job is to do what's best for the New York Mets. However, he added, "At the end of the day, this is where I want to be."
It feels like Ownership and Sandy Alderson are first focused on reaching a conclusion with David Wright, after which they'll pivot toward dealing directly with Dickey. I'm guessing one move has something to do with the other... And, yes, they can multitask, but it reads like Dickey and his agent have been doing basic, preliminary negotiations with Alderson's assistants, which is normal. Alderson will likely hear back from John Ricco and Paul DePodesta (regarding Dickey's demands and the trade market for his talent) at which point the GM will make a recommendation to Ownership on how best to proceed.

2010-11 ushered in a lot of changes for Roberto Luongo. Luongo got a new goalie coach, who immediately started making changes to his style. He lost his captaincy. The team put more emphasis on ensuring backup Cory Schneider got into games on a regular basis.
Yet, despite those changes, Luongo's results remain remarkably similar.
On the surface, things do seem improved. Roberto Luongo has seen his save percentage jump up to 0.926 – far better than the 0.913 he recorded last season and better than any full-season total he has recorded to date as a Canuck (he's still behind his remarkable 0.931 performance in 2003-04). That's certainly an encouraging sign.
However, this isn't the first time we've seen this from Luongo.
To begin with, this season started like any other. Luongo managed a 0.907 save percentage in October; over four previous seasons as a Canuck he's averaged 0.908. He improved upon that in November, putting up an 0.914 save percentage in that month, well below his Canucks average of 0.929. He put together an 0.922 save percentage in December, falling just short of his (again) 0.929 average as a Canuck in that month.
Than Luongo caught fire in January, going 6-0-4 with a 0.947 SV%. He gets these hot streaks at least one month every season. In 2009-10, it was his 0.932 SV% December. In 2008-09, it was a 5-1-2 November where he managed a mind-boggling 0.959 SV%. The year before that, Luongo stretched his streak over two months, going 14-5-3 with five shutouts and an 0.941 SV%. His first season with the Canucks, the hot streak landed in January, where Luongo's 0.945 SV% is almost a mirror image of what he has accomplished this year.
The challenge is to keep the streak, or even a slightly reduced streak, going. Every year it seems like Luongo slows down a little bit from his mid-season peak, easing up a little bit through February, March and April. (It's worth noting here that despite this tendency and his unfortunate reputation, Luongo's career playoff numbers are actually quite good – on par with his regular season numbers).
Luongo's certainly off to a good start in February, with two wins and a 0.956 SV%. Maybe all these changes have made a difference; perhaps he will just keep on rolling and put up career-best numbers. All I'm saying is that we've seen these beautiful stretches from Luongo before, and I'll need to see it last before I'm convinced that he really has stepped things up another level. If his current performance does last, it will be something truly remarkable: it's not an everyday occurrence to see one of the league's truly elite goaltenders find another level at the age of 31.

So here we go once more, profound at my shore. Wait a second I have nothing to tell, hmmmm what the hell. Oh yes that is why I evoked MSN to give me a rhyme or ten. As Pat has that set to his homepage, too lazy to set it to a different cage. So what I did was open the internet and poof my needs were met. Just took the words that I seen and went all nice and mean. Yes I can do both at the same time, so here is this profound old rhyme.
In The News, You Lose!
Man saves cat in tree found on page twenty two
So called famous guy cheats found right in plain view
Oh an ad for a Mcdonalds snack
Have to place that up top like a plaque
Wait then there is weightloss below
One helping the other which they hope you don't know
Oh breaking news man saves child from drowning in lake
Flip the page to partake
As a stepmom faces charges in a boy's death
Oh and it's double the length
Wait move the saving story on down
As Meg Ryan could be getting married causing single men to frown
Cellphone use may be linked to cancer
Oops that story was submitted by prancer
As Santa must have made him do that
For the big cell phone companies will make that study fall flat
Oh and look star style is right in plain sight
After all we have to know what they wore the other night
A hiker has also seen bigfoot she claims
Yeah and the other day I, the lochness monster and a Pokemon were playing games
Wait there are some sizzling summer bikinis
I'll look as long as they don't show any weenies
Food crisis also once again looms
But oh it's shoved below in favor of killer brooms
An important questions is also answered today
As no babies are coming Will and Kate's way
Man saving child just moved down ten more pages
As some psycho had some fire rages
Of course What He's Hiding From You needs to be seen
Because lets face it all men fit into the category of unclean
And makeup tips have to be there
As we wouldn't want you to have one split hair
Oh and look someone died
And you gave a boo hoo and cried
Yet never even met or knew
Just have to feel apart of the same crowd by pretending it's untrue
So no matter the good that is done
It seems in the news the bad has won
Or the ever relevant celebrity hairdos
In the News, You Lose
Hmmm didn't intend for that, I just sort of fell into that chat. Damn I'm good, of course unlike Brian not so good at going all in the hood, but I can still do the usual rhyming matter, so screw the later. I will now depart with little sass, except to say you'll never see a bikini on my little rhyming ass.
Later all, have a nice fall.

I use Cabrinha 55cm bar on Fat Lady - no problems at all. BTW wind range on it is amazing - recently flew it in 20knots gusts and on a big board too! That is where Cabrinha bar has an advantage - it has more throw and depower, easier no handle gusts and stronger wind when it picks up unexpectedly.Windfreak87 wrote:Can anyone tell me if I can use my cabrinha Ids bar on blade fat lady?

This is even more important at very low speeds.JS wrote:The variation in perception of wind speed (and even more so wind strength) tends to be considerably greater between specific observers and specific conditions than the variation in capabilities between different kite brands and models (of similar size).
For example, the inherent 'strength' and 'energy' of 11 knot wind is 247% that of 7 knot wind. In my life of competitive sailing, teaching, coaching, windsurfing and kiteboarding, I've seen many more people confidently misjudge such variations than get them right... which may explain the extraordinary divergence of opinions on kite performance.

KDE-Forum.org and KDE-Look.org Hosting Updates
We're pleased to note that KDE-Forum.org is now back online after a rocky start. A big thanks goes out to Pierre-Emmanuel Muller and Cyberbrain who are now hosting this site, and of course to zenok, fan of KDE and creator of KDE-Forum.org for web-based KDE-related discussions. Please note that Cyberbrain is also the host of KDE Dot News as well as several other less obvious KDE services and has been single-handedly responsible for virtually trouble free operation and peace of mind since June 2002. Other KDE-related web forums available are: KDE-Forum.de for German speakers and the KDE-France forums for French speakers. In other good news, Frank reports that the terrific and invaluable KDE-Look.org site has found new sponsorship from Lindows.com -- a big thanks goes out to Kevin Carmony, President and CEO of Lindows.com, as well as to everyone else who offered to help the site. The KDE community should feel proud to have so many friends and willing sponsors.
WTG Lindows!
I for one am very glad to see Lindows giving back to the open source community. They did some sketchy things early on with respect to the GPL, but they made good on offering their source to their customers. And now they are supporting a great KDE site. I have to say, hats off to Lindows! Thanks for giving back to the community. It is very appreciated!
By beergeek at Wed, 2003/02/12 - 6:00am
Re: WTG Lindows!
i can imagine this question has been asked a thousand times before, so here comes nr. 1001:
Isn't that still violating the gpl if you give out the source only to customers? If it was, I don't think I'd take off my hat to them, no mattter who they sponsor.
By me at Wed, 2003/02/12 - 6:00am
Re: WTG Lindows!
Well, no, have you actually read the GPL? It requires you to give the source code to anyone who gets the binary code (eg. your customers) and that you must not restrict your customers rights to modify and redistribute the programs under GPL. Looks as if this is fulfilled if they provide the source code to their customers.
By Gunter Ohrner at Wed, 2003/02/12 - 6:00am
Re: WTG Lindows!
Nope, to put it simply you only have to make available the source to the ones who get the binary, in Lindows case their customers.
By Morty at Wed, 2003/02/12 - 6:00am
Re: WTG Lindows!
Reading carefully the GPL FAQ ( http://www.fsf.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html ), it is clear that giving the source, not to the public, but only to the customer, is perfectly legitimate. But it is also true that when a customer have the sources, he may redistribute them freely, and also whoever copy the GPLed binaries have a right to ask for the sources. No NDAs are permitted.
Quoting the FAQ:

They did a wonderful thing, I for one don't know waht I would do without KDE_LOOK.org, the site needs some serious updates, many amny things can be improved, but it is still a great website.
KDE-Forum is also awesome, I wish more people knew about it!

Re: I agree
I think kde-look should be moderated. A lot of the files uploaded (mainly wallpapers) are pure and utter crap. Like political propaganda or nude girls. Ok, a girl with large K to hide her shame is probably OK, but I definitely can't see what the WWII Hiroshima bomb has to do with KDE.
Inbetween this horsesh*t, some pure gold is hiding. Yeah, you could sort by rating, but I feel there should be some threshold before the stuff is put there at all.
I'm not a fan of censorship but surely there are other arenas for political agitation and pr0n...
By ac at Wed, 2003/02/12 - 6:00am
Re: I agree
Amen to that. The ratio of complete crap to acceptable-to-good KDE art is really not favorable to the good stuff. Moderation is a must. There's quality art on kde-look but it's too hard to find.
Getting rid of everything that's not directly KDE related (naked ladies, anime trash, and endless color variations of Linux company logos...) would already do a lot to improve overall quality.
You can't let every 14 year old post his version of the Lord of the Ring Aqua Babe background and at the same time expect art KDE can be proud of. Most of the stuff on kde-look is embarassingly immmature and amateurish. It doesn't reflect well on KDE as a project and a community.
By Mary at Wed, 2003/02/12 - 6:00am
Re: I agree
There are people who like a decent Wallpaper with the distros logo;
I'm not a fan of most of this either, but if the rating-system yields that people like what I don't (like the 4000nd blueish color-scheme or KDE written in pink on purple), I think it has the right to be on this site.
You can always browse kde-look.org with a threshhold of 70% ;-P

A name is just a name. And, yes, I am harsh.
> You can always browse kde-look.org with a threshhold of 70%
No I can't. That's one of the problems with the rating system. It's not my 70%; it's theirs! The rating system would need to be a personal one. If 75% of those who rate wallpapers on kde-look love crap [and I'm not necessarily saying that they do], setting that threshhold to 70% doesn't help me because I'm still seeing stuff I consider awful.
The way kde-look operates now doesn't encourage good KDE art because:
I just wish kde-look could promote quality over abundance, plagiarism, and puerile self-expression. I believe the KDE community would be better served that way.

And moderation would change this fundamental problem HOW?
Voting IS moderation. What is the difference between moderation by the many to the moderation of the few? In both case many people will disagree with the results, but I will prefer democracy to aristocracy.
But nobody hinders you to set up your own site where editors select the best artwork. I'll be the first in line to visit it. :-)

Re: I agree
> And moderation would change this fundamental problem HOW?
It doesn't. I was merely responding to the suggestion above.
> Voting IS moderation. What is the difference between
Voting is not an appropriate form of moderation because it doesn't not define any standards.
KDE and other free software projects are NOT democracies. They are (partial) meritocracies. Your work is reviewed, discussed, accepted and/or rejected all based on standards defined by the projects' leaders (whether informal or not does not matter). Voting would not work there just like it doesn't work for kde-look.
By Mary at Thu, 2003/02/13 - 6:00am
Re: I agree
Why do you think linux-kernel, the most important ML for linux by far, resisted any attempt of moderation for years now? Because even in a meritocracies there is a need for open market-places where anybody can offer anything they like. This is the precondition that review, discussion, accteptance and rejection can happen at all.
There has to be a public place where artistic ideas and drafts can flow freely, hence KDE-Look must show all incoming stuff, like lkml distributes any patch and any idea regardless how stupid it may be. (Even bad stuff may contain a great idea or point to a serious problem! Someone else can continue work on it then. Isn't that part of the advantages that "free" and "open" offer?)
By Markus at Thu, 2003/02/13 - 6:00am
Re: I agree
The lkml is a good analogy and you're making a good point. However, though anything can be submitted to the list, not everything makes it into the kernel. There is a moderation process of some sort going on here. Maybe not at the source, but certainly at the destination. To which you could reply that this process is repeated when icons, wallpapers, and themes are chosen to be included in KDE. To which I would reply, moderation is indeed what keeps quality up.
Let's assume then that kde-look is to remain unmoderated. I still think there needs to be a place where quality KDE art can be showcased and where talented KDE artists can work and create without the 'noise' of anime wallpapers. That's probably a role that artists.kde.org could fulfill be but it seems to be 'napping' at the moment.
Having kde-look around as THE reference for KDE art is bad for the project. Not because kde-look is a bad idea or is run by bad people but because it creates negative aesthetic associations with KDE. There are very talented artists working to make KDE look great. These people need to be given the recognition they deserve by having their work publicly acknowledged as the standard others should strive to emulate. There needs to be a way to say to aspiring amateur KDE artists, "this is what we want for KDE, submit all the crap you want but you will be judged against these great icon sets, wallpapers, and themes."

Well don't look at the Wallpapers if you don't want a wallpaper.
By ac at Wed, 2003/02/12 - 6:00am
Re: I agree
You are right that most of the wallpapers are bad, and you have to look through them to find the good ones. I don't agree that they should start being moderated though, because then they would just reflect the sense of taste of the moderator. Right now, everybody who looks through the wallpapers has a slightly different idea about which ones are the good ones, and the variety assures that whatever your sense of taste, you'll find something. :-)
By AC at Wed, 2003/02/12 - 6:00am
Re: I agree
Perhaps, instead of moderation, wallpapers (icon sets, whatever) could be arranged into categories. So that all the anime stuff could be grouped together, all the nudes go together, etc. Perhaps a set of checkboxes could let users turn the individual categories "on or off" for display in the regular listing.... maybe even set individual rating cutoffs ("only anime above 80%", "no nudes", "nature photos above 50%").
This, plus the rating system now used, could go a long way towards making it easy to find exactly what one's looking for - or at least, avoid stuff that one doesn't want to find.

I remember that when I first logged out after updating to 3.1 I saw s.th. along the lines of "keep logged in and start second x server" (a la xp user switching). I did not test it at that time and now it does not show up anymore.
Did I just mis-read a message or is that feature really hidden somewhere inside 3.1?
