#TPLF40: A celebration of Tigrayan dominance over Ethiopia

(OPride) On Feb. 18, Ethiopia’s rebel group-turned autocratic organization, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) celebrated the 40th year anniversary of its founding in Mekelle, the capital of Tigray state.

The event capped more than two months of celebrations that included various forums, guided tours for artists and journalists and other festivities. Formed in 1975 to seek redress of Tigrayan grievances against the central government in Ethiopia, TPLF is the product of Marxist era liberation ideology. Over the last four decades, the party has gone from a shadowy rebel group established to carve out an independent Tigray state from imperial Ethiopia to the country’s sole kingmakers.

The latest anniversary was celebrated with much fanfare, complete with speeches by foreign dignitaries such as Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir, Rwanda’s Paul Kagame and representatives of Ethiopia’s ethnic-based coalition, the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF). The festivities, which included laying wreath for a new Martyrs’ Monument, played out on the state-run television nationwide for days.

But the celebration was notable for other reasons. For one, Ethiopia will hold its fourth national election in May. Second, it is the first such grand event TPLF has undertaken since the death in 2012 of its leader, Meles Zenawi.

Amid noticeable differences between the old guard and new rank-and-file members, TPLF has struggled to find Zenawi’s replacement. This made the fact that the head of government is a little known southerner even more visible. But the event was also yet another reminder of the leader’s lack of charisma and outsider perspective. Unlike most of his TPLF bosses (otherwise known as advisors), Hailemariam Desalegn is a civil servant who did not participate in the armed struggle. TPLF prides itself on the years of bitter struggle against Mengistu Hailemariam’s Derg regime. But it has seen a slow decline after key figures were sidelined in the 2001 and subsequent power struggles. Most of TPLF’s senior politburo members are approaching retirement. As such, the timing of the anniversary was meant to unify the party and boost morale among its core base ahead of this year’s elections. Reports from Mekelle show emotionally charged theatre, suggesting some modicum of renewed spirit among Tigrayans.

Development in Tigray

Indeed, the people of Tigray have much to celebrate. Once home to a famine of historic proportion, the Tigray region has greatly benefited from TPLF’s rule. For example, Mekelle has become an economic, political and information hub. Tigray has three major public universities and five international standard airports. (There are also more than 50 community colleges; two technical schools; one business college; one nursing school and agricultural college. Mekelle University has three campuses.) The Tekeze hydroelectric dam, Ethiopia’s single largest public works project and the tallest dam in Africa, provides a relatively reliable electric power for Tigray. The Ashegoda wind farm, inaugurated in 2013 just 18 kilometers outside of Mekele, is the largest wind turbine in Africa.

The Mekelle-Djibouti railway project, which connects Tigray to neighboring Djibouti, is being built at the cost of $3.2 billion. Authorities laid the ground for Mekelle-Woldia railway project last month. Perhaps more important, Ethiopia’s single largest conglomerate, EFFORT, controls most of the country’s economy. These are but a few examples of the major gains that the Tigray region has registered under TPLF’s reign. But none of this is to say there are no universities or public projects elsewhere in Ethiopia. There are. But Tigray contributes little to the national GDP but has been a major recipient of some of the largest public investments in the country’s history. In short, Tigrayan elites hold a virtually uncontested and unrivaled control over the country’s political, economic, security and military.

This is not to suggest all Tigreans benefited equally from TPLF’s rule either. However, the remarkable improvement in the region’s livelihood came at a great cost. Ethiopia remains a highly centralized police state. The TPLF regime has systematically decimated the opposition and media using a plethora of draconian laws. Outside Tigray, locals decry the poor quality of education and public service. Corruption and cronyism are as rampant as ever. Development projects are tailored to the need of the elite at the expense of massive rural displacement.

At no other time in the country’s history did the Tigray people enjoy so much economic and political freedoms. The TPLF grew out of local grievances and neglect from the communist regime. Tigrean peasants were among the first to rebel against emperor Haile Selassie’s feudal autocracy. In the last two decades, however, the region enjoyed remarkable economic growth and complete autonomy with no local opposition to the TPLF rule.

“Africa’s renaissance leaders”

On Feb. 17, the leader of Tigray state Abay Woldu sent a mass SMS message to all cellphone users in Ethiopia. The self-congratulatory message was a reminder of who runs the country and which anniversaries and celebrations are worthy of national spotlight. TPLF’s Ethiopia has no free press to speak of. The political playing field has grown more unequal as the years grind on. Ethiopia’s Western donors and TPLF’s African allies continue to ignore the regime’s increasing authoritarianism.

“You never wavered in your commitment to build a robust national unity that is, at the same time, firmly anchored in Ethiopia’s remarkable diversity,” Rwandan president Paul Kagame, said at the 40th anniversary celebration. “You have charted your own course, based on a deep analysis of your history and circumstances, and stayed the course. As a result, Ethiopia is peaceful, stable, and increasingly prosperous.” This is not surprising. As the old saying goes, birds of the same feather flock together. In early 1990s, Kagame and Zenawi were among Bill Clinton’s imaginary “new generation” of African renaissance leaders. They belong to a generation of Africa’s former freedom fighters turned tyrants who refuse to peacefully give up power. As with TPLF’s Ethiopia, Kagame’s regime has grown increasingly unpopular and tyrannical.

The TPLF-dominated ruling EPRDF party has “won” all of the last four elections. The upcoming polls won’t be different. In fact, the interest and euphoria around TPLF’s anniversary celebrations suggest the party is simply retooling to extend its reign and writ. TPLF’s arrogance and iron-fisted determination to cling to power is ever more visible. For example, last month an audio clip surfaced, purporting to show Abay Tsehaye, Minister and National Security and Intelligence advisor to the Prime Minister, threatening members of the Oromo People’s Democratic Organization (OPDO) over the delay in implementing the controversial Addis Ababa master plan. (OPDO is the Oromo element in the EPRDF.)

Last year, Oromo students’ resistance to the aims of the master plan led to Oromia wide protests, resulting in scores of deaths and hundreds of arrests. The latest developments don’t portend well for Ethiopia. The Oromo youth increasingly feel alienated kept out of employment and educational opportunities reserved for Tigrayan students. The OPDO seems less empowered and more humiliated than ever before to challenge the TPLF leaders.

One such humiliation came during the celebrations in Mekelle. Until now the OPDO maintained that the organization was founded in North Shoa, Dara District at a place called Gundo Maskala. This changed last week when OPDO leaders were heard proclaiming Tigray’s Adet woreda as the site for the organization’s founding. An Increasingly incensed public is viewing all of this skeptically. Any attempt to forge ahead with the master plan is likely to be met with stiff resistance, not only from the Oromo youth but also from OPDOs rank-and-file.

Still, it would be naive to assume any change anytime soon. The TPLF is simply comfortable, the only significant challenge coming from within. But even as they tout 40 years of struggle and all that came to pass both good and bad the TPLF still maintains its Marxist guerrilla attitude. Its tyrannical rule might have enriched Tigrayan elites and improved living conditions in Tigray, but the status quo is increasing untenable.

One hopes that the 40th anniversary offers some moment of reflection. The choice is clear: continue to cling to power by force and ensure a bloody end, or loosen the economic and political grip on the country in keeping with the spirits of the freedom upon with TPLF was established. Unfortunately, the former seems the most likely scenario.

We have a beautiful custom cabinet shop located in Huntington Beach California. Our state of the art, 3000 square foot custom cabinet shop has produced many kitchens in Orange County. Kitchen remodeling is the best way to get a better resale out of your home next to curb-side appeal. A kitchen remodel is a huge expense and should be taken seriously. With proper planning and budgeting, you will be able to enjoy a Chef's dream for many years. Everyone uses a kitchen differently. Some use it as a main food preparation area when others may use it as a social gathering area. Many kids nowadays will eat breakfast and do their homework at the same time at an island cabinet.

10 Most Important Design Ideas For Kitchen Remodeling

1. For efficiency, the work triangle (the space between the sink, refrigerator, and stove) for the kitchen plan should measure 26' or less with no single side longer than 9', or less than 4'.

2. In kitchens smaller than 150 sq. ft., opt for at least 13' of base cabinets, 12' of wall cabinets, and 11' of counter top. In kitchens which are larger, go with at least 16' of base cabinets, 15 1/2' of wall cabinets, and 16 1/2' of counter top.

3. For convenience, plan work aisles to be at least 42" wide for one cook, and at least 48" wide in multi-cook kitchens.

4. Specify a minimum of 24" of counter space on one side of the sink and at least 18" on the other.

5. To create the most accessible landing for unloading groceries, allow at least 15" of counter space on the handle side of a standard refrigerator; on both sides if it's a side-by-side model. Or include a landing area directly across from the refrigerator, but no more than 48" away.

6. For cleanup ease, install the dishwasher within 36" of one edge of the sink and allow for at least 21" of standing room next to it.

7. For microwaves and ovens, provide at least 15 " of counter space nearby, at least 16" deep.

8. For optimum clearance, no entry, appliance, or cabinet doors should interfere with another.

9. For comfort and to help avoid repetitive-motion injury, plan for work counters of different heights; between 28 and 36" off the floor (easier for chopping and seated-use access), and between 36 and 46" for general tasks (higher counters accommodate taller cooks).

10. To install a cabinet unit above the cook top, make sure the clearance is at least 24" for a fireproof surface, 30" for an unprotected surface.

Designing a kitchen is as much a science as it is an art. Knowing the recommended measurements to use when planning the project can make all the difference in the final outcome.

Dream Kitchen Remodel; The Kitchen is your most important room!

There's great news for all you homeowners looking to remodel your kitchen on a tight budget. You can still create the perfect new kitchen without it costing you an arm and a leg! The secret is to choose your options carefully. Below are some helpful ideas to get you on your way to a new affordable kitchen.

Laminate Flooring:

Everyone wants the look and feel of natural hardwood, but without the high price. Thankfully there is a less expensive alternative that still offers the look of hardwood flooring. Laminate wood flooring is significantly less expensive compared to natural hardwood flooring and also very easy to install. It comes pre finished and can be glued down or applied over a thin foam paid laid on the sub floor. There are also types that are adhesive-backed.

Refinishing Cabinets:

Make sure you check the condition of your cabinets before you rip them out and replace them. You may be sick of their appearance, but if they are still in good condition you have the option of refinishing them to give them a fresh new look. This will save you a lot of money. Also, consider updating the hardware on your cabinets. New hardware can significantly change the look and feel of your cabinets and it cab be done at a very low cost. Furthermore, you can also refinish appliances as well.

Neutral Colors:

Neutral colors are beneficial for two main reasons. First of all, they are less expensive then custom colors which will put more money in your pocket. The money you save can be put towards something else, such as energy efficient appliances. Secondly, neutral colors add better resale value to your house. It never hurts to put some thought into the future.

Laminate Counter tops:

Once again, laminates are the cheaper alternative. Laminate counter tops are available in an array of styles that mimic the look of natural stone and other solid surface materials. Why not create the look without the price? Keep in mind, laminate counter tops are economical, easy to clean and come in a host of colors and patterns, but they are not built to last.

Chrome Plumbing Fixtures:

Chrome is the way to go if you are remodeling your kitchen on a tight budget. It is the least expensive material of choice, but still offers an attractive look. If your budget allows you to, consider combining chrome with another finish, such as nickel or brass. I would also recommend purchasing a faucet with a lifetime warranty.

Pre finished Decorative Trim:

Purchasing pre finished trim will eliminate the cost of having to hire someone to paint or stain your trim. This may not be a major concern for those of you that plan to do the painting and staining yourself.

A Village of Hope, OUTSIDE of Irvine

 Powered by Max Banner Ads

Homelessness is a nationwide problem that our city government representatives seem to be overlooking. We ship hundreds of millions of dollars to relieve other countries’ crises and disasters but we seem to forget our focus on our own needy at home.  We have seniors, the mentally challenged, families, veterans, young adults, and children all living “underground” and I am using underground as a euphemism. We seem to just seem to overlook and step over them and pretend they don’t exist.

Within Orange County, an estimated 4300 individuals are currently homeless, according to a count performed this year.  This marks a significant decrease from the 2011 estimate of 6939 homeless persons.  However, those numbers may not provide a trustworthy comparison due to the County having changed its counting methods this past year.  Whether four thousand or seven thousand though, one thing is clear… the number is large and more effective strategies must be implemented to deal with this issue.

That recent count was part of a Federally-mandated report that counties must provide, as part of an effort to end homelessness locally by locality.  Most places have set 2020 as a target for ending local homelessness but due to getting off to a mysteriously late start, Orange County does not currently have a set target date.  Many observers, including homeless advocates, argue that these “point-in-time” counts, as they’re called, are notoriously unscientific and unreliable, due to the counts lacking the number of volunteers needed to cover such a large area like Orange County in a short period of time. I believe the recent account of our unemployed or under employed is attributed to the accuracy of these numbers.

How can you count people if they have no residence? What has happened to the host of families that have lost their homes or apartments due to unemployment? And finally, how is it possible to count people if they are not receiving any financial assistance, through government or state programs?

The controversy over counting methods take away from the greater issue at hand… what can be done about the problem?  The Federal HUD annually gives $16 million to Orange County specifically for homeless assistance… is money such as this being used wisely?  What other policies are being implemented?

Unfortunately, like many other places around the country, the standard response to homelessness has been to sweep it under the rug or even outright turn a blind eye to the destitute.  For example, in October 2012, Costa Mesa Mayor Eric Bever proposed closing down the town’s soup kitchen due to the perception that it attracts homeless persons from all locales.  Our own Mayor of Irvine, which has been trying to fit in his busy schedule a trip to Korea fully paid for by a “business”, in order to facilitate a “new” sister city in Korea. Instead of entertaining and cannoodling, maybe the Mayor himself should consider the local mission in Tustin, yes Tustin, not Irvine. Mayor Choi may want any further offers from “businesses” to pay for his travels to lend a helping hand to the local community shelter, Meals on Wheels and medical clinic. Still, we have a wait list for “at risk” seniors to receive a hot meal, in one of the most affluent cities in the state, shameful.

The Irvine Police department, who probably have more contact with the homeless than any other organization, often have to follow public policies that “criminalize” homelessness, either placing such individuals under arrest or escorting them to the next town’s borders… bouncing these individuals back and forth.  Sometimes this leads to absolutely horrible consequences, such as the infamous 2011 death of mentally-ill homeless man Kelly Thomas, beaten to death by six police officers.

This is not to say that every locale has mishandled the issue.  The small city of Stanton, in partnership with the Irvine-based Illumination Foundation, has decreased its homeless population due to the donation of apartments to be used for transitional housing and other assistance.  They also took the revolutionary step of actually speaking to homeless people, finding out about each person’s situation, in other words, treating these human beings like actual human beings.  Mayor David Shawver explained his town’s progress with the simple statement that he and his coworkers believe “each city is responsible for its care of the homeless.”  If only the leadership of every locale had such common sense, widespread progress could finally be realized.  Illumination Foundation CEO Paul Leon hoped to replicate this successful partnership in other cities but was mystifyingly rebuffed.  He mentioned that of his proposals to places such as Costa Mesa and Anaheim, “They didn’t even listen to us”.  This would be all well and good if those cities had zero homeless residents but they obviously don’t, which leads me to believe their leadership is either happy with thousands of homeless persons or simply just doesn’t care.

Little is said about Illumination Foundation in Irvine, I would like to hear more from our own City Council and Mayor about their policies on the homeless. Within Stanton, several families have been able to get back on their feet due to that town’s sensible policies.  The Talbutt family, consisting of a young couple and their two young children, ran into bad luck when the husband lost his job and had trouble finding another one.  Rebecca Talbutt, who was raising the children at home while studying toward a career as a medical assistance also searched for work but was unable to find something in the difficult market.  Thanks to the Illumination Foundation in Stanton, the Talbutts can continue their job searches without having to face the dreadful worry of wondering where to provide shelter for their children.

Granted, not all homeless people are simply families who ran into bad luck.  Many suffer from mental ailments and others simply do not want help or have even given up hope that their lives could ever turn around.  Even in progressive Stanton, arrests have been made.  On the bright side, there have also been dialogues, leading to some of the “hardcore” homeless finally accepting offers to give transitional housing a try.

As for myself, right here in Irvine, I will occasionally see whole families outside of a grocery store, sitting in a park, or just walking up the main streets of the city.  I will stop and ask if they need assistance like a place to stay or food; in one particular case a woman was walking on one of our major thoroughfares, needing to get to the train station, which was quite a distance away, so I gave her a ride. It was a humbling experience; she rambled on in the back seat admiring and talking endlessly to the two stuffed animals that I had in the back for my dogs; the woman called them “her babies”. How sad I felt for this woman… she reminded me of the story; My Fair Lady’ but without the happy ending.  Tattered and scared, she didn’t understand why her family did not visit her and why she now drifts through Orange County without a permanent address.

We arrived at the train station.  As the woman gathered her things, my daughter helped and they struck up a conversation. She admired my daughter’s kindness and my daughter listened to her intently as she went in and out of reality.  She asked for the stuffed animals, insisting that they were her new found babies and we offered her a large cozy blanket to cover her “babies”. She blissfully went into the station and began talking to anyone who would listen about why her family is not there anymore; it was sad and before driving off we made sure we alerted station workers that she may need some help. I often wonder where these wonderful people will stay, how will they take care of themselves?  Our faith based organizations and neighborhood churches had stated that more information is needed about what can be done to help “our”, not somebody else’s dispossessed people.  Most stated the police typically escort the homeless out to the city border, following the awful philosophy that our city is “not the place for the homeless to be seen”. Outside the border of Irvine, in Tustin lies The Village of Hope, which is the closest place to receive counseling, medical, dental, meals, and shelter services.

Despite what many indifferent government leaders may wish to believe, the homeless problem is not going to disappear on its own.  More effective policies, such as those employed in Stanton, can easily be put into place.  A change in philosophy is required as well… homeless people need to be seen as complex human beings with extraordinary and individual requirements… they need the necessities and help and it truly doesn’t cost much… sometimes all they need is someone who will listen to them.

The Ravens are more potent offensively when they throw deep. The Ravens forged an identity as a big-play team during last year's playoffs. But downfield throws had been strangely absent from their game plan the first two weeks of the 2013 season. The Ravens started with more of the same Sunday, inviting boos as they threw 3- and 5-yard outs on long-yardage downs. It was hard to tell if the conservatism was a result of scheme, poor field position or poor pass protection. Probably all three. Regardless, Joe Flacco came out firing on the first possession of the second half, lofting a 48-yard completion to Torrey Smith that evoked memories of last season. He barely missed another long sideline pass when Smith couldn't control the ball as he went out of bounds. The Ravens ultimately scored to continue building on their strong finish to the first half. Both Ravens coach John Harbaugh and Smith said field position was key to the Ravens' aggression early in the second half. Smith remains as potent as ever when he streaks straight down the field against one-on-one coverage. With his expanded role as the team's No. 1 receiver, he might not be able to do it as often as he did in 2012. But a deep ball to Smith is the Ravens' biggest offensive weapon. So they can't go whole games without unleashing it.

Five stats that stand out as the Ravens prepare to face the Steelers

Each Wednesday, blogger Matt Vensel highlights five stats that really mean something for the Ravens.

nine -- running plays in Sunday’s loss when a Ravens running back was hit before the line of scrimmage.

In Sunday’s 19-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers, the Ravens once again created little running room for their running backs, a troubling trend that could prompt the coaching staff to make schematic changes. The Ravens rushed for just 47 yards on 22 carries Sunday and they are now tied with the Jacksonville Jaguars for dead last in the NFL at 2.7 yards per rush attempt. You can probably spread the blame around, but one stat from ESPN Stats and Info should absolve the running backs of some of it. Against the Packers, the running backs were hit in the backfield on nine of their 21 designed runs, according to ESPN Stats and Info, who says the Ravens backs hadn’t been hit in the backfield since the 2010 season.

4.55 – Ravens’ average yards gained on first-down plays.

The Ravens converted just two of their third-down opportunities against the Packers, continuing their trend of third-down struggles. But the play that has been hampering them is not third down, but first down. According to my colleague Jeff Zrebiec, the Ravens have gained less than four yards on 114 of their 177 first-down plays this season, which is 64.4 percent of them. The Ravens are gaining an average of 4.55 yards on first down, better than only three teams. Those minimal and negative gains on first down -- and second down, too -- have put them in a lot of third-and-long situations, making it tough for quarterback Joe Flacco and company to move the chains.

134.6 -- Flacco’s QB rating between the numbers Sunday.

Flacco had his best statistical game of the season Sunday, completing 20 of his 34 attempts for 342 yards and two touchdowns, though much of that damage was done in the game’s final 20 minutes. One nice development Sunday was Flacco’s efficiency throwing between the numbers, the area of the field where the losses of Anquan Boldin and Dennis Pitta have left a big void. Tandon Doss and Dallas Clark, who had four catches apiece, made plays for him over the middle against the Packers. According to Pro Football Focus, Flacco completed 17 of his 21 attempts between the numbers for 321 yards and a touchdown. He had a 134.6 passer rating on those throws.

52 -- Baltimore’s average total yards in the first quarter.

The Ravens have been slow starters on offense, scoring just one touchdown in the first quarter of a game this season and that was in the season-opening loss to the Denver Broncos. Of their 17 first-quarter drives, the Ravens have gone three-and-out on nine of them, according to Zrebiec. Over their last four games, they have started 12 drives in the first quarter and their only score was a field goal against the Miami Dolphins. The Ravens are averaging just 52 yards of total offense in the first quarter.

three -- straight Ravens regular-season wins in Pittsburgh.

Remember when Heinz Field was a house of horrors for Flacco and the Ravens? They have won their last three regular-season games in Steelers territory. Each win was by a three-point margin, including last year when a punt return touchdown by Jacoby Jones propelled them to a 13-10 win. Of course, that does not include their loss in the divisional round in the 2010 playoffs, which was a biggie. Still, the Ravens have fared well at Heinz Field the past three years, helping them improve to 5-5 against the Steelers in the regular season with Flacco under center and John Harbaugh as head coach, with eight of those 10 games since 2008 being decided by three points.

    30 Meaningful Photographs Of ‘Where Children Sleep’

    Months ago, the talented Venice based photographer James Mollison released a project under the name “Where Children Sleep”. The project shows children and their bedrooms around the world, to better illustrate cultural similarities and differences.

    The photos are now available as a book, taking us inside children’s bedrooms around the world, considering the idea that our childhood bedrooms say a lot.

    Mr. Mollison talked about his idea saying:

    ‘I found myself thinking about my bedroom: how significant it was during my childhood, and how it reflected what I had and who I was, it occurred to me that a way to address some of the complex situations and social issues affecting children would be to look at the bedrooms of children in all kinds of different circumstances.’

RE[9]: Commercial use
by b3timmons on Sun 22nd Jul 2007 23:04 UTC in reply to "RE[8]: Commercial use"
Member since:

But don't get me wrong. I'm not against GPL 3 per se but I think it foolish to cut compatibility with some of the greatest open source projects there are.

I am having trouble seeing the fairness of your comments. You start off by characterizing the FSF as "fundamentalists" who could "go berserk" and add use limitations to future versions of licenses that have only ever had distribution limitations, including GPLv3. The "or later" language is natural and logical to ensure compatibility among copyleft licenses. Why should the unwillingness of those of a relatively few projects who refuse to use such language count for more than the wish of those of relatively many projects who want to restore protection (among many other benefits) for their software that was compromised by loopholes in an old license amid a business climate of patent threats? Moreover, you implicitly assume that not upgrading the license would lead to lesser likelihood of forking within the project from those who wish to upgrade than the more typical converse case. Why should cooperation among projects ever matter to any one project as much as cooperation within the project itself?!

I am having trouble understanding how you are so quick to attribute malice or stupidity to those who simply seek the project integrity and kind of protection that the GPL was always supposed to encourage and provide. Oh, and yes, the GPL was always motivated by what is moral, so it is strange that you should be bothered by that motivation as people upgrade to simply another version.

I have always thought that WindowBlinds was a unique application, but if you did not like the default themes, there wasn't much available that had any type of quality.

Fedora is not for production...

Member since:

At least until you are sure all your working tools are running well.
I had used RH7,RH9, FC2,FC3,FC4,FC5,FC6,FC8,FC11 and now just migrated an istallation from FC11 to FC12.
Still using FC5, FC6, FC8 in some machines. All that I needed there are running. So, apart of a bug fix or security hole, there is no reason to upgrade the OS.
The version upgrade from FC11 to FC12 was surpringly smooth. I normally do clean installs to avoid time wasting to solve problems that cost more than reinstalling whole system.
Also tried Suse/Debian/Ubuntu/Mandriva/Slackware/Knoppix/Vector/Centos, but Fedora was the one that fit my "modus operandi" better. It's not a case of being better than others, it's only a tool that is for me.

OpenBSD Okay, this is potentially very big news that really needs all the exposure it can get. OpenBSD's Theo de Raadt has received an email in which it was revealed to him that ten years ago, the FBI paid several open source developers to implement hidden backdoors in OpenBSD's IPSEC stack. De Raadt decided to publish the email for all to see, so that the code in question can be reviewed. Insane stuff.

Games "Sources with first-hand experience of Microsoft's next generation console have told us that although the next Xbox will be absolutely committed to online functionality, games will still be made available to purchase in physical form. Next Xbox games will be manufactured on 50GB-capacity Blu-ray discs, Microsoft having conceded defeat to Sony following its ill-fated backing of the HD-DVD format. It is believed that games purchased on disc will ship with activation codes, and will have no value beyond the initial user." Crap like this should be illegal. If I can't buy second-hand games at my local favourite game store, Microsoft can shove this new Xbox where the sun don't shine. Which it obviously doesn't do in Redmond if they can come up with this kind of user-hostile bullshit. You can pretty much guarantee that they have made a silent agreement with Sony to implement similar anti-user feature on the next Playstation.

Microsoft Launches Office 2010

Category: Software
Posted: 03:26PM

The Office series of software makes up a large component of Microsoft's product offerings and has been a major revenue driver for the company for a number years. With online tools such as Google Docs now providing a free alternative to Office software, Microsoft's latest release needed address this competition. Though Google's offerings haven't made a big impact in terms of market share, the inclusion of the Office Web Apps part of the Office 2010 release show that Microsoft is taking the challenge seriously, offering free versions of programs like Word, Excel and PowerPoint (naturally you won't get all the features found in the full versions). As with Windows 7, MS chose to involve end users more closely in the testing process, with the Office 2010 Beta program meaning that many of you will have probably used the software already in some form or another.

Office 2010, as well as Visio 2010 and Project 2010 are available for businesses worldwide from today. Home users will have to wait until 15th of June for the retail version. You can watch the keynote presentation that accompanied the release on Microsoft's Launch Event site.

It could be a big game for Scott Tolzien in St. Louis

Posted Aug 14, 2014

QB order and playing time for Packers vs. Rams not yet determined

GREEN BAY—Just how close the competition is for the Packers’ No. 2 quarterback spot is difficult to say, but if Scott Tolzien is going to close the gap, he must follow up a solid outing in Tennessee with even more efficient production in St. Louis.

The pecking order between Tolzien and current top backup Matt Flynn was established last season. After Tolzien’s baptism by fire in Weeks 10-12 during what became a winless November, Flynn relieved Tolzien against the Vikings and rallied the Packers to an overtime tie before going 2-2 as the starter over the next four games.

The two wins and tie Flynn produced kept the season alive until Aaron Rodgers returned. That’s a lot of ground for Tolzien to make up in one preseason.

But Head Coach Mike McCarthy said he wanted to see “faster tempo” from Tolzien in the preseason opener, and he saw it as the former University of Wisconsin QB was 8-of-12 for 124 yards in the Nashville rain and drove the offense to a TD to open the second half.

“We went some no-huddle with Scott, and he executed that well,” Offensive Coordinator Tom Clements said. “Scott is the kind of quarterback who gets back there and is decisive. He gets the ball out of his hand. He’s done that pretty consistently all camp, and it just carried over into the game.”

While Tolzien’s most memorable play was the backyard fumble recovery of his own miscue, the most important factor may have been that he didn’t throw any interceptions, which were his downfall last season. He threw five in losses to the Eagles and Giants.

His night might have been even more productive had receiver Chris Harper been able to haul in what looked like a catchable pass inside the Titans’ 30-yard line on fourth down early in the fourth quarter. Tolzien had driven the offense 46 yards on that possession, but it turned out to be his last. Fourth-string QB Chase Rettig took the rest of the offensive snaps.

After the game and throughout this week, Tolzien has downplayed his performance, which was better than Flynn’s statistically (5-of-10, 49 yards) but came against a lower level of Tennessee’s depth chart. He has frequently referred to it as “one game” with “three to go.”

Number two comes Saturday afternoon in a climate-controlled environment, and Tolzien just wants to continue making progress, whether that’s to remain a contender for the No. 2 job or make the team as a No. 3. Given the starters will play the most in the third preseason game, it makes this second one a big game for Tolzien.

“Hopefully, just cleaner execution,” he said of what he hopes to show. “It’s probably a broken record, but you’re just looking to improve every day, and looking to get cleaner and sharper and improve the tempo.”

Flynn and Tolzien shared second-team reps in practice this week, a sign that Tolzien could get the nod as the first quarterback off the bench Saturday after Rodgers departs. McCarthy said the order and playing time would be determined following Friday’s short practice.

“We’ll see how it goes,” McCarthy said, adding that Rettig has a chance to play again in the fourth quarter. “We’ll see how the pace of the game goes.”

Aside from Don Barclay and Jared Abbrederis, who are out for the season, three other players with knee injuries will not travel to St. Louis, all undrafted rookies in running back Rajion Neal, linebacker Joe Thomas and tight end Colt Lyerla. McCarthy indicated Thomas is the closest to returning.

Veteran defensive lineman Letroy Guion, who has not practiced all camp due to a hamstring injury, will travel but not play. McCarthy suggested next week was a possibility for Guion’s return.

After the rain-soaked night provided a challenge McCarthy loved, visiting the Edward Jones Dome should have its benefits as well. It’s the third time in the last four preseasons the Packers are playing in a dome.

Earlier in his coaching career, McCarthy preferred to play all four preseason games on a grass surface, but he learned that it helps to play one in a dome given two NFC North foes normally play indoors. The Vikings are outdoors temporarily for the next two seasons, but the Packers will play in domes at Detroit and New Orleans this year.

“It’s good we get inside for one game,” McCarthy said.

Matching Fly Line to Rod

2006/9/9 0:19

Posts: 10
Does anyone out there mix their fly line recommended weight for the the line weight marked on the rod?
Example put 4wt. line on a rod that is labeled for 5wt. line.
If so under what circumstances is it done?
What benefits or drawbacks if any does it have?

I use a 4wt on my 5 wt; mostly because I fish a mix of 4wts and 5wts and I'm too cheap to drop another $60 on line.
I believe the standard rule is that you can go up or down a line wt that the rod is marked. I prefer under weighting.

I heard from someone who does a ton of line studying that line weights are determines and reference to casting about 40 feet. And at 50 feet of line the line is like casting an increase of 1 wt (if 4 wt line, at 50 feet its a 5 wt) and approximately every 10 feet increases 1 line wt. But that's just what I've heard.

Short answer: Yes, I overline my faster rods when fishing at short distances to have the rod load better at those distances. Others overline to get more feel or slow the rod down. Some lines (SA GPX, Rio Grand) are a half weight larger to help do this. Underlining will speed a rod up. If you actually look at the tapers and weight of lines, you'll find a tremendous variability within a given line weight. It all depends on what you're looking to do.

Long answer:

As a rod builder, I use the CCS system, especially the ERN, when determining what line to use on a rod blank that isn't rated.

DISCLAIMER: Reading the above link is overkill and may detract from your enjoyment of the sport.

If you have a particular problem, ask away, I can blather on about these things.

Re: Matching Fly Line to Rod

The link you provided didn’t work for me. Here are a few relevant paragraphs from The Common Cents System (CCS) by W. Wm. "Dr. Bill" Hanneman that you mentioned:

“We recognize that in fly fishing, it is the line which is cast, and that it is the momentum of the line which pulls the fly along behind. Since momentum is equal to the product of speed x mass, the speed of the cast is very significant.

Actually less than 10% of the rod loading is due to the weight of the line, over 90% is due to the speed of the cast. This is the reason any rod can cast any line - the caster merely adjusts his speed.

However, fly-casting is most pleasurable if the weight of the line is matched to the power of the rod, and in the case of fly lines, weight varies with length. The CCS articles provide charts relating the number of common cents to ERN, WL, and the distance one wishes to cast.

Of course, if your casting style is so ingrained and/or productive of that nebulous right feel that you can't or won't adjust your speed to optimize your equipment, adjustments to the CCS recommendations are necessary. If you know your casting speed is greater than average, try using a size lower line - if slower, try a size heavier. Remember, you are only creating momentum.”

Rod weight is measured with the 1st 30’ of line. If you most often cast 20-40’ or less going up a line weight might work better for you. Don’t forget, with a 40’cast you only cast 20-25’ of fly line because you must add the length of the rod and leader.

I you need to bang out 50, 60 or 70’ casts on big water, going down a line weight make work better. Think of this, rather than getting a new rod, you can underline it when fishing big water and making long casts. Use the recommended line in medium and smaller streams, and over line when fishing in tight quarters and making short casts. There are however other factors to take into consideration – rod length, casting with weight or weighted flies, wind, etc.
WARNING: Don’t let you wife read this. It may blow your cover on why you tell her you need all those different rods.

Most of the time I prefer a faster rod because I can adjust the speed of the line (which creates the power) depending on how far I’m casting, and if a tight loop is needed to execute the cast because of conditions (wind, casting through/around obstructions, etc.). With a slow rod you have less control over the speed and power of the cast.

Don’t be afraid to play with different line weights on your rod. I wouldn’t try going more than 1 wt + or - though. Try casting on the lawn with different line weights to see how it works for you. Good luck.

Gardening with toddlers

Gardening with toddlers

Help your child learn where food comes from by planting a garden. Even a little patch of earth outside can turn into his 'farm'. If it's winter or you live in a town or city, make an indoor garden on a counter near the window.

Planting the seed

Plant radishes, beans and lettuce: They all grow quickly, so your child will be able to see the fruits of his labour in short order. Help your child to plant, water and harvest his crops. Be sure to celebrate when you're done! If you can, take your child to visit a real farm to watch the planting or the harvest.

An opportunity to learn

All of this teaches your child about consistent care and gives him responsibility, both of which are more important than the actual crops themselves. Don't expect too much from him at this age though – he'll need all the help he can get!

The Benefit Cap

What is the Benefit Cap?

The government put a limit on the total amount of benefit (including Housing Benefit) that most people can receive. This is called the 'Benefit Cap'.

When was the Benefit Cap introduced?

The Benefit Cap was introduced across the UK from April 2013.

Who is affected?

The Benefit Cap affects everyone aged 16 to 64 whose income from benefits is more than:

  • £500 a week for couples (with or without children living with them)
  • £500 a week for single parents whose children live with them
  • £350 a week for single adults who don’t have children, or whose children don’t live with them

If your total income from benefits is greater than those limits (based on your circumstances), your Housing Benefit will be reduced until it is lower than the cap.

Please note that if your benefits are reduced, you will be responsible for paying Paradigm any shortfall in rent. If you build up arrears, you could risk losing your home.

Who isn't affected by the Benefit Cap?

You are exempt from the Benefit Cap if you are:

  1. more than 64 years old or,
  2. entitled to or receiving Working Tax Credit - click here for more infomation

You will also be exempt if you receive one of the following:

  • Disability Living Allowance
  • Personal Independence Payment (from April 2013)
  • Attendance Allowance
  • The support component of Employment Support Allowance (ESA)
  • Industrial Injuries Benefits
  • War Widows and War Widowers pension

What can I do if I am affected?

If your income from benefits is reduced by the Benefit Cap, you may need to consider:

  1. moving to cheaper accommodation
  2. seeking advice around getting back into employment or increasing your hours to become entitled to Working Tax Credits

Where can I find more information?

Etnies x Magenta - Scout - Navy

Regular Price: £49.95

Special Price: £34.95

Product Description

Etnies x Magenta - Scout - Navy
2015 brings unmatched partnership with Etnies and Magenta skateboards bumping heads on exciting projects like this.

Etnies Shoes and Magenta Skateboards present a collaborative capsule with the graphical side realised by Koichiro Uehara, Koichiro has been an endorser of both brands for quite some time after finding himself riding for both brands and has added his signature patch design onto all items with a unique shell overtone design featuring over the fabrics.

The capsule consists of: A heavyweight zip-up, weather-resistant varsity style Leads Jacket with front aqua zip on a weather resistant fabric for the wetter months, a remix version of the Etnies Marana Vulc - this has a slimmer silhouette to it's predecessor but maintains the durable rubber toe cap with the continued advanced STI Evolution Foam insole still included all housed in shell patterned colourway. If your wanting to sport the new wears but in need of a shoe with more feel the Etnies x Magenta Scout, the Scout is a basically lighter than air, designed for comfort without jeopardising durability with added mesh front upper fabrics for breath-ability all encompassed by Koichiro's singtaure Shell patterns.

The Shoe:
* Breathable mesh upper.
* Elastic heel support.
* TPU welded rap bar.
* Fully-lined interior.
* STI Foam Lite Level 1 footbed.
* Exposed STI Evolution Foam midsole with rubber pods.
* Gum rubber outsole.
* Superior Etnies/Magenta quality.

Ex-Professional Skateboader Pierre André Sénizergues started with Etnies in Europe in 1986, Etnies is the first skateboarder-owned and operated Shoe company and unlike the many deceased companies has stood the test of time, Etnies have been dubbed the forefathers of the "Pro Model" shoe and have incorporated into the industry many of the technologies we see in most shoe companies today.

Etnies stays true to its roots by sponsoring a world class team of skateboarders including: Ryan Sheckler, Jose Rojo, Tyler Bledsoe, Devine Calloway, Willow
,Nick Garcia & Cairo Foster, as well as donating time and effort to supporting these individuals - Etnies have "given" back on a global scale by continuously running their 'buy a shoe, plant a tree' campaign that has worked to plant 100.,000 tree's in both Costa Rica and Brazil.

Supporting Etnies helps support skateboarding.

Magenta is skateboarder owned and run company. Soy Panday, Jean Feil (who's a skateboard photographer and filmer) and Vivien Feil started the company a few years back.

Magenta is the name of the neighbourhood in Paris where they all met; Soy and Vivien shared an apartment for a long time.

Magenta started because we weren't really satisfied with what was available out there. So at some point they got tired of spray-painting their boards or swapping them for the right wood (namely Generator wood, which Magenta exclusively use now) and seeing the kind of skateboarding that we're excited about. Magenta is not trying to please everyone, there not trying to flood the market, there not trying to appeal to kids or to fit any "standards" as they believe everyone else in skateboarding is already busy doing just that.

The Magenta team like to skate in actual streets in actual cities, which is why all of our videos feature just that. They try to feature their friends and the local scenes of the cities they visit. Soy does all the graphics and they are all hand-drawn. All Magenta boards are made by Generator in the US and all the clothing is made in France.

Magenta are trying to produce exactly what they like to wear or skate with and since we've all been skating for well over 10 years (20 for Soy), it means we're after the quality stuff only. The team so far consists of Soy Panday, Leo Valls, Jimmy Lannon, Vivien Feil and Zach Lyons.
