2005 Fed 100: A to D

Randy Adkins
Director of Air Force Knowledge Now
Air Force

Air Force officials call him Mr. Knowledge Management for his work on expanding the service's access to logistics, security and contracting information.

Randy Adkins began Air Force Knowledge Now as a pilot project at the Air Force Materiel Command. It quickly grew into a servicewide knowledge repository.

More than 27,000 Air Force personnel at home and abroad in 12,000 communities of practice use the system to collaborate with one another.

"The success of the [Air Force Knowledge Now] effort was due to Randy's exceptional vision and his ability to provide users with a valued product," said John Gilligan, the service's chief information officer.

Anne K. Altman
Managing Director
IBM Federal

Anne Altman mastered the art of growth in 2004. As managing director of IBM Federal, she oversaw the expansion of business by more than two and a half times the average market growth. Her unit provided $2.5 billion worth of services to government customers.

But it's not just about the sales. Altman grew the company in ways that have made it a more valuable resource to government agencies and systems integrators.

Altman persuaded IBM executives to make a significant investment in her ideas, said James Obendorfer, an IBM consultant.

"She had to go forth and stake her reputation, her vision on what's the best thing to do for the government and for systems integration clients to make them more confident and aware of IBM's capabilities," he said.

Zalmai Azmi
Chief Information Officer

Zalmai Azmi took on the role of chief information officer last year with the goal of combining the FBI's system planning and development efforts.

He immediately tackled the daunting task of unifying the organization's disparate systems under a centralized information technology management structure. To help streamline the bureau's technology modernization projects, he developed an enterprise architecture and strategic plan.

Azmi was instrumental in implementing business processes for overseeing and reviewing IT, said Mark Tanner, director of the FBI's Foreign Terrorist Tracking Task Force. "It's necessary to have a process in place to control budgets and evaluation of IT resources," Tanner said.

At the same time, Azmi realized the need for a plan to boost the skills of IT employees and the structure of the bureau's IT and improve communications among technology managers and FBI agents in the field.

Col. Robert G. Baker
Commanding Officer
Marine Corps Network Operations and Security Command
Marine Corps

As the first commander of the new Marine Corps Network Operations and Security Command, Col. Robert Baker mastered many bureaucratic and mission-oriented activities. He defined tasks for the new command, organized departments and executed processes.

Missions handled by the command under Baker's leadership included the transition of 22 sites and more than 600 Marine applications to the Navy Marine Corps Intranet. Baker also pushed deployment of e-mail security appliances to deployed Marine units to fight spam and phishing attacks.

Carol Bales
Deputy Associate Chief Information Officer for Cybersecurity
Energy Department

What was good for the Energy Department turned out to be very good for the broader federal community.

Carol Bales led a 10-month project that brought together officials from federal agencies, Oracle and the nonprofit Center for Internet Security to develop security configurations for Oracle database software, which DOE and other government agencies widely use for critical functions. Under a DOE contract, Oracle is shipping software already configured to the new settings.

"With her leadership, [Bales] took on a responsibility on behalf of other agencies to assist them in their compliance" with the Federal Information Security Management Act, said Karen Evans, administrator of e-government and information technology at the Office of Management and Budget.

Joan Barr
Management and Program Analyst
Internal Revenue Service

The Internal Revenue Service's modernization effort has faced rough times, but one bright spot in 2004 was the Modernized e-File System for corporate and tax-exempt returns.

Joan Barr was a driving force in enlisting the cooperation of tax software and preparation companies, which led to the adoption of industry standards for Extensible Markup Language schemas and transmission protocols for electronic tax returns.

According to an IRS report, the program's success enabled agency officials to devote more resources to customer service and other areas.

"We had no XML experts. Joan became one," said Terry Lutes, associate chief information officer for information technology services at the IRS.

Glenn Beach
Director of Technology
Cybernet Systems

Glenn Beach and his co-workers created a real-time system to be used for inspecting small-arms ammunition in Iraq. The system automates what had been manual processes for sifting through found ammunition to find usable bullets and other unspent ordnance.

In much the same way that fingerprint systems look for matches, Cybernet Systems' equipment uses images of ammunition's color, shape and printed characters to match found ordnance.

The system has enabled Defense Department officials to improve ammunition supply operations in Iraq. (See "Beach: Ammunition redux")

Charles Jacobus, Cybernet's president, said Beach deserves recognition "not because [the system] is really cool, which it is," but because Beach and his colleagues "worked like hell" to build the system and get it to the Middle East.

"You see it in their timecards," Jacobus said.

Meredith Benson
Program Examiner
Office of Management and Budget

Meredith Benson could serve as a case study for the value of business case studies. She dramatically improved the management of information technology investments at the Federal Aviation Administration by helping officials set realistic cost, schedule and performance goals — and helping them understand how to meet those goals.

"She could have relied on her colleagues in the information policy and procurement policy areas to do this analysis," said Jeanette Thornton, a policy analyst at the Office of Management and Budget. "Her understanding allowed her to join this knowledge with her understanding of the programs and the real problems being encountered by the agency's program managers."

Jerry L. Berson
Deputy Associate Commissioner
Social Security Administration

Thanks in large part to Jerry Berson, an automation project that was expected to take seven years is now likely to be completed in 22 months.

Berson has led efforts to create an Accelerated Electronic Disability system at the Social Security Administration, which will enable employees to process disability claims electronically. Berson worked with other federal agencies and state governments to devise a strategy for delivering key components of the system in less than two years. The projected savings are more than $1.3 billion in the next seven years.

"There are only a handful of [information technology] projects that approach the order of magnitude, complexity and impact of the [Accelerated Electronic Disability] project," said Peter Herrera, associate commissioner for disability and supplemental security income systems at SSA. Berson "has brought out the best in hundreds of hard-working people."

Lt. Col. Joseph Besselman
Program Director of the Global Combat Support System-Air Force
Air Force

The Global Combat Support System-Air Force is an enterprisewide information technology infrastructure that integrates hundreds of personnel, logistics, medical and finance applications into a common Web-based architecture.

Lt. Col. Joseph Besselman has managed to guide this complex program through several key milestones, improving its performance and reducing costs.

As a result, personnel in Air Force wing units operate more effectively overseas because of their easy access to information.

Besselman "is a true enterprise thinker who is able to deliver innovative and revolutionary capabilities through commitment, leadership and technical expertise," said Scott Edwards, director of Air Force operational support solutions at Lockheed Martin.

Hari Bezwada
Information Management and Telecommunications Product Manager
Defense Department

With Hari Bezwada's ingenuity and leadership, new voice, video and data systems may get installed at the Pentagon ahead of schedule and under budget.

Bezwada used innovative contracting techniques that gave vendors greater responsibility and accountability for delivering a technologically advanced communications infrastructure.

"He is truly a leader in demonstrating how difficult, huge and complex information technology projects can be a great success," said Dan Griffin, vice president of Pentagon programs at General Dynamics.

Sam Bodman
Deputy Secretary
Treasury Department

Sam Bodman, a deputy secretary at the Treasury Department, earned kudos for his larger role as chairman of the E-Government Subcommittee of the President's Management Council.

Bodman's leadership in the areas of information technology policy and operations, including his contributions to the Office of Management and Budget's lines-of-business initiatives, helped ensure that the government used taxpayer money wisely in the area of e-government.

Bodman "gave valuable insight into the broader impact of lines of business on the marketplace, federal policy and agency operations that was critical to the success of the program," said Karen Evans, OMB's administrator of e-government and IT.

Kenneth Buetow
Director, Center for Bioinformatics
National Cancer Institute

Individual researchers engaged in the battle against cancer have a much broader arsenal at their disposal, thanks to Kenneth Buetow.

Buetow coordinated the activities of numerous information technology contractors and cancer researchers to develop the cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid, or caBIG. The grid connects teams of cancer and biomedical researchers so they can share tools and data.

Buetow's leadership directly supports the institute's mission of eliminating suffering and death from cancer by the year 2015, said Russ Rieling, assistant vice president and division manager for innovative informatics technologies at Science Applications International Corp. (See "Buetow: A force in the battle against cancer")

Brian Burns
Chief Information Officer
Bureau of Indian Affairs

Brian Burns faced many tough challenges when he became chief information officer at the Bureau of Indian Affairs. But he made it his mission to give American Indian tribes access to better technology. He created an enterprise architecture plan, established a project management office, and developed 40 information technology and security policies at the bureau.

"Brian constantly challenges those around him to seek in-depth and effective approaches to solving problems," said James St. Clair, a senior manager with Grant Thornton's global public-sector practice. Burns is not one to answer challenges by saying this is the way things have always been done, St. Clair added.

Col. Joseph "Tom" Catudal
Chief Telecommunications Adviser
Coalition Provisional Authority

Installing a network communications system is tough. Installing it in the middle of a war zone while dealing with poor infrastructure, looting and gunfire is almost impossible.

But Army Col. Joseph "Tom" Catudal, who volunteered to go to Baghdad, Iraq, overcame all those obstacles to create a network for the Coalition Provisional Authority's headquarters.

Catudal was the right man in the right place, said Vernon Bettencourt, the Army's deputy chief information officer.

"The situation in Iraq demanded someone who understood our business and could make things happen," Bettencourt said. "Col. Catudal knew how to get to the right people — be they Army, other services or other government organizations — and make things happen. I'm not sure where we would have been without his leadership on the ground."

Daniel J. Chenok
Vice President and Director of Policy and Management Strategies
SRA International

Some federal officials who enter the job market are pursued primarily for their Rolodexes, but Daniel Chenok's chief asset was his mind.

Chenok, who left the Office of Management and Budget for SRA International in late 2004, brought the company an in-depth understanding of policy issues of prime importance to SRA's customers.

Among other accomplishments in 2004, Chenok developed a framework to help SRA and its customers work through the privacy ramifications of technology programs.

It is his understanding of agencies' needs that makes Chenok effective, said SRA's chief executive officer, Renato DiPentima.

"Dan is able to know what's in that government person's mind, to know what challenges they're facing and what can be done about it," DiPentima said. "When we look for a person to bring into the company from government, it's because they have in their head knowledge that would be of great value to our customers."

Col. David W. Coker
Project Manager of Logistics Information Systems

Whatever soldiers need — water, fuel and ammunition — get to them faster today because of the Army's logistics systems.

Col. David Coker oversees seven of those systems from Fort Lee, Va., but he often travels to Iraq to meet with commanders and soldiers to ensure that they are receiving the materiel they need as quickly as possible.

He has made many improvements to the logistics systems, including equipping the Army's Movement Tracking System with radio frequency identification technology so that soldiers have an accurate picture of the materiel in their vehicles.

"Col. Coker's commitment to his job stems from his belief that the Defense Department builds information technology systems for our soldiers, not for the sake of modernization," said Thomas Edwards, deputy to the commander of the Army's Combined Arms Support Command.

John M. Dalrymple
Deputy Commissioner for Operations Support
Internal Revenue Service

John Dalrymple is credited with improving business management at the Internal Revenue Service by scaling back the agency's modernization effort and focusing instead on an enterprise approach to project management.

"John has set in place a structure and committees and people" who have helped produce a pivotal year for the tax agency, said Mark Matthews, deputy commissioner for services and enforcement at the IRS.

Neither "this agency nor the United States government could work without people like John," Matthews added.

Dr. Ruth E. Dayhoff
National Project Manager, VISTA Imaging
Department of Veterans Affairs

Ruth Dayhoff spearheaded development of the Department of Veterans Affairs' medical imaging system, which is used in the VA's 158 medical centers. It forms the core of a multimedia patient information system that VA clinicians can readily access.

Thanks to Dayhoff, the VA system cost less to develop and deploy than commercial systems while providing similar functionality. During development, she had to contend with software rewrites and changing VA security policies and directives.

Mike Louden, senior vice president of CACI International, said that because of Dayhoff's leadership, the VA stands out as a global leader in medical imaging systems.

Jim Dempsey
Executive Director
Center for Democracy and Technology

Jim Dempsey was an influential member of a Markle Foundation task force that analyzed the privacy and civil liberties ramifications of government information-sharing programs instituted after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

The study by the technology-oriented foundation influenced intelligence reform efforts in 2004 in a way that few privately convened task forces have done. (See "Dempsey and Louie: On a tightrope")

Scott F. Denniston
Director, Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization
Department of Veterans Affairs

Scott Denniston has taken a personal interest in supporting veteran-owned businesses, and his bosses in Washington, D.C., have noticed.

His office developed a database of more than 10,000 veteran-owned businesses to help agencies identify such contractors for business opportunities.

Denniston, himself a Vietnam-era Army veteran, has been a passionate advocate for businesses owned by service-disabled veterans. His efforts contributed to President Bush's decision to issue an executive order creating special contracting categories for such businesses.

"The guy travels on weekends, spends nights and evenings" working on this issue, said John Moliere, president of Standard Communications and a fellow veteran.

Shivani Desai
Government-to-Business Portfolio Manager and Policy Analyst
Office of Management and Budget

Shivani Desai had a busy year in 2004, and you can't pin her to just one thing.

Among her accomplishments, she coordinated a task force focused on relieving small businesses' paperwork load. In a similar vein, she reined in the requirements for the e-Rulemaking initiative, incorporating agency suggestions and tying the system to the Office of Management and Budget's international regulations and paperwork system. Meanwhile, as a portfolio manager, she continues to oversee six of the 24 e-government initiatives.

"Shivani's insight, collaborative management approach and attention to detail are helping the federal government deliver improved services and significant results to America's business community," said Tim Young, OMB's associate administrator for e-government and information technology.

"She has worked with great dedication and intensity to remove unnecessary barriers that impede America's companies, especially small businesses, from thriving," Young said.

Rhonda Diaz
Project Manager, Enterprise Human Resources Integration
Office of Personnel Management

Rhonda Diaz sits at the hub of an effort that will touch every agency: the Enterprise Human Resources Integration.

In the past year, Diaz analyzed requirements for the system and examined the needs of federal workers and managers before coming up with a plan that serves the interests of everyone involved. Diaz then developed a fee-for-service model that will take advantage of the Office of Personnel Management's collective buying power.

The project is still under way, but because of Diaz, a lot of progress has been made. (See story at www.fcw.com/download.)

"Rhonda has a really good vision of how to meet the needs of all the stakeholders," said Jim Fraley, vice president of Integic. "She's got a real good understanding of the federal government and the needs of human capital management."

GTSI wins Agriculture BPAs

GTSI has been awarded two blanket purchase agreements from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, each valued at $25 million. Taken together, the BPAs represent GTSI’s largest win at USDA.

One BPA offers rugged notebook PCs to support USDA’s communications requirements for field, state, regional and headquarter offices. GTSI will supply Panasonic Computer Solutions’ Toughbook 18 products, which conform to MIL-STD-810F environmental testing specifications.

The Toughbook 18 features integrated wireless wide-area network and global positioning system capabilities. The product has a swiveling display that allows it to be used as a notebook or tablet computer.

The ruggedized technology is geared toward USDA’s field employees. Mark Wenners, GTSI sales manager for mobile technology, said USDA employs 10,000 inspectors. When used as a tablet, the Toughbook 18 will let a field worker use the device to fill out an inspection form, said Chris Pate, senior director with GTSI’s Panasonic and Mobile Solutions Enterprise Technology Practice.

Under the other BPA, GTSI will team with Cisco Systems to provide wireless infrastructure technology and ancillary services.

Mohamed Elrefai, senior director for GTSI’s Cisco Enterprise Technology Practice, said the BPA will support the wireless needs of USDA’s Service Center Agencies and field offices.

Hi Peter,

Have you tried to relaunch the application?  It might be helpful to reboot the computer first.

What were you doing before the error occurred?  That might give insight into what happened -- was this a glitch or is there a real problem.

Hope that helps,

Photoshop Showcase images too small

  • 1
  • Question
  • Updated 5 years ago
Photoshop Showcase images should be considerably larger - they are impossibly small when viewing on a mobile phone. Othe sharing software, Google + for example, display large images which are easy to view on a smart phone. Photoshop Showcase seems to concentrate on graphics at the expense of useability.

Hi, I'm also having similar problems. Bought Photoshop Elements 10 & Premier Elements 10 together as a bundle , because of the price. Had just bought myself a new Mac for the photography, so installed Photoshop ok but problems with Premier disc; same errors as stated already. Loaded by 51% then stated 8 errors & 7 warnings. I have tried to download the trial version (eventually), but when I went to use it, it did not ask for the serial number. So I am unsure what I have downloaded now! Unfortunately, being new to Mac, I am struggling to understand where the files are going and which ones I use to open properly. Think I'll try to uninstall and try again. Fingers crossed. Andy.

You can but you have to turn the feature on on the lightroom web interface. For some reason Adobe didn't create an interface for this on the desktop client and it now defaults to not allow downloading. Simply go to lightroom.adobe.com and click on the gear next to your shared collection.

  • Updated 2 years ago
I have opened up an image and after doing some processing the images is becoming even sharper with grains when 'saving for web'.

I have attached an image which demonstrates the issue I am facing. In this case, I have not made any changes(or processing), still I am facing this issue.

Kindly let me know what am I doing wrong in here.

You're zoomed out at 23% saving a rather large image. Zooming in to 100% would show you more detail (like grain/noise).

London and it’s many rainy attractions…

We have come to London for half-term and despite the grizzly weather it has been really fun!

We are not here to see the Queen, in fact Mum is trying to avoid most of the crowds but we’re having a good time anyway. We have been to the Great British Library and Coram Fields which is this really cool park thing where you can only go in if you are with a kid, and they have a zip wire and big playgrounds. Also, in the summer, they have a shallow pool filled with water with little things  that spurt water….. We like fountains. If the weather gets better, Mum is going to take us to this amazing fountain on the South Bank which is concentric squares which shoot water up at different times and even though it’s freezing. I like the South Bank, they have a Wagamamas and normally there is cool things going on along the side so it is well worth visiting!

In the day, we went to this place called Highgate Cemetery and because no one else was stupid enough to go out in the pouring rain we got the tour guide all to ourselves and he was so good!!! It was really interesting and it turns out that he was in the Guinness Book of World Records for going round the globe in a double-decker and for driving a double decker on only two wheels! Also the cemetery itself was really intense and cool; we saw this little grave and apparently it belonged to this man who was this massive criminal mastermind of the Victorian Ages but he didn’t believe in violence so he was just this really clever con-man who befriended these super rich people and then robbed them without them ever knowing! He was never caught because even though all the police suspected him, they could never catch him in the act!! This was the guy James Moriarty was based on ( Moriarty is Sherlock Holmes’s arch-nemesis). There is an amazing Sherlock Holmes programme on every year and they do a few episodes but it has Benedict Cumberbatch in and he is a great actor along with Martin Freeman A.K.A Watson.

Tonight, we went and saw this poet called John Hegley who does quite comedic poems and he was fab-mazing! He signed some books for us and read some brilliant poems/songs…….. It’s really late now so I better go to bed other wise I will resemble a zombie tomorrow morning!

Love Owl

P.s If you are going to Kings Cross in London, be sure to look out for Platform Nine and Three quarters from Harry Potter! They have got a Hogwarts trolley going through the wall we all had our pictures taken with it! 🙂

Book time! Hooray

Hello! Thank you for all your lovely comments by the way….

I have been meaning to read the Harry Potter books for ages! I have listened to all the CD’s/tapes and watched all the films but reading the books is the best thing to do really. I am on the last book now, The Deathly Hallows and it’s great but my favourite is the Prisoner of Azkaban. Anyone who hasn’t read them really needs to!

I have also just finished reading an amazing, emotional book called Wonder by R.J Palacio about a boy called August who was born with a deformed face and it is about him starting school however each part of the book is from someone in his family or their friends view point and it’s an absolutely inspiring! I think we are surrounded by amazing books and literature but no one thinks that they will enjoy them more than an Xbox or a film but they’re wrong because some books are just brilliant. It’s great the way that they make their own worlds and people and that you make friends (or enemies) with them along the way.

Oh the Irony!!

You know, it is very rare for England to have sunny weather and now that we do, I have a doomy and horrible cold along with the rest of my family. Plus I have lots of tests at the minute which is rubbish. Right. My moaning is over with, sorry about that!

Derek ( an amazingly cute kitten who’s favourite foods consist of parma ham, baked beans, fish and raspberries ) is going mental because she’s not aloud outside at the moment because we have to re-Derek proof it, so she doesn’t escape. She is squeaking at all the birds and persuading them to come closer to the window, but mostly they just ignore her! Also, Derek is chewing the leaves off of my chili plants and then spitting them out all over the floor in protest.

Because of the recent hotness we opened the windows in the house. Derek realized this as she was uprooting one of my chili plants in the bathroom and when she poked her head out the window, she noticed an extremely rotund pigeon and decided she liked it very much ( even though her hunting skills are at the worm licking stage) and she started climbing onto the roof!!! At this point you could just see her back end poking through the foliage and we then had to haul Derek back in before she fell off.

Derek is indeed an amazing puddy cat, in the words of Tweety bird!

The Ideal Homes Exhibition (A world of hot tubs and electric graters)

You may be able to tell what this blog is going to be about from the name of this post.

You guessed it! I went to the ideal homes exhibition in London yesterday and it was really cool. The food section was the best bit because you got to try loads of stuff like curry or toffee peanuts but I did like all the useless gadgets too. I would probably never use any of them but the gadgets were very clever and some were very fab-mazing. There was this electric grater and Oscar loved it and wanted the man selling them to turn all of them on and to grate one of the boiled egg that were in a dish as an example of how miraculous they were. Fortunately Mummy intervened and we let the poor man regain sanity. It is a shame though, I really wanted to see someone grate a boiled egg!

Seeing as it is a show to do with your home they did have some paint stalls which excited me. I know it is a little weird but for some reason I love looking at paint colours and choosing the pretty ones. I found some nice turquoisey paint samples along with a dark maroon colour and a nice light green one called  “Grecian Spa”  which in my opinion is a brilliant name for some paint. Just think, someone gets paid to come up with cool names for some paint…. Wouldn’t that be an excellent job? Getting paid for going ” That pink, we should call it Pussy cat’s nose. That’ll be ten pounds please. Also I think we saw that  women, Susan, off of the Apprentice that had her own cosmetics business.

Happy Mother’s day to my Mummy . I love you tons 🙂 .

Curious! ….

I have an RE essay about certain dress conducts at the minute and I found some interesting stuff out! Such as, If you are a Buddhist monk, you have to shave your head and wear these special robes. Stereotypically, they are a saffron-y colour but actually the colour of their robes can differ according to where they live. Buddhist nuns have to shave their heads too but they wear white robes.Also, I read that if statues of Buddha have curly hair this represents snails which came and sat on the Buddha’s head to protect him from the sun like slithery sun cream 🙂 .

This is totally unrelated to the paragraph above this but we have just set up a school radio at lunchtimes and it would be awesome if we had a flashmob. They are really cool but it looks really hard.

I like limericks. I used to know a cool one about a crumpet but I can’t remember it any more…… Never mind though! I made my own limerick:

There was a young man named Phillip,

who painted a cow in acrylic.

The cow kicked him hard,

right out of the yard,

and that was the end of young Phillip !!

If you know any cool ( or rubbish ) limericks, please post them on comments. 🙂

Professor Layton is melting my brain

Don’t get me wrong, I think the Professor Layton games on the DS are awesome…. But  some of the puzzles melt my brain a bit. For anyone who hasn’t played it, Professor Layton is like Sherlock homes but wears a top hat and solves puzzles!

I was going to do a blog containing a movie I made about a reporter chicken who goes on a stake out and arrests the eeeevvviilll sausage roll terrorizing hawk/crow. However the computer does not like me at the minute and refuses point blank to do anything I ask it!

I am quite excited as we have just started our cooking module at school and this week we are making pies or tartlets with short crust pastry. I especially like cooking as a topic because mostly I end up eating half of my produce and then trying everyone else’s. I really am surprised that I’m not the size of an elephant by now. Come up with a crazy pie idea or a tartlet thought and put them as a comment, I am going to try it now:

A tartlet filled with a mixture of tuna and Heinz baked beans with some streaky bacon as a flake. ( This is in honour of Derek my cat, these are all of her favourite foods apart from ham and raspberries).

We have discovered that those new biscuits called Quirks are really appetizing. They look all boring on the outside but when you bite into them they are filled with gooey chocolate spread, how cool is that?

See you later guys,

love Owl xx

How to put files on server in Unix format? (2 posts)

  • ChessGeorge Member

    When I use Fetch to upload (put) to a linux server, the files end up in "DOS format", which means each line of the file has a carriage return and a linefeed. But I need the files to end up in "Unix format", meaning each line has only a linefeed at the end. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

    I would try uploading the file in Binary format and let us know if that fixes the problem or not.

    If that does not work, please let us if you connecting to the server using FTP or SFTP.

About Update thingy...

Previous Entry Update thingy... Aug. 24th, 2016 @ 03:53 pm Next Entry
Let's see....Wednesday and Thursday, you'd have thought MIL was fine. A little confused, but fine. She was a *pistol* discussing decorating the room, griping about the "former" cook, praising the "new" cook......you'd SWEAR she was recovering. Friday she started slipping; she kept falling asleep while her hairdresser did her hair, she kept calling me SIL.....but still, she was *there*.

Saturday, she started sleeping all the time. Sunday and Monday she didn't wake up at all. Yesterday....yesterday the Charge Nurse told me she didn't think it'd be too much longer. Herself and I had to leave at noon, but the rest of the family was there.

Today I took off - we had an ortho appointment. I called SIL....and MIL has rallied. She woke up yesterday and demanded FIL *kiss* her (!), and laughed and giggled at all the jokes. This AM she's been sleeping....but still giggling at SIL's jokes and banter. :scratches head: She's also not as swollen as we'd thought she'd be (she's been off dialysis now for 11 days. Usually day 10 is it.).....we're confused. Hopeful, but......unless we're granted a miracle, this is the last gasp. :sad:

We've been busy. I've finished 2 pairs of socks, 1 dress, have 1 dress that just needs hem and buttonholes/buttons, and......my studio is almost built. And...we bought the kids a Makerbot Replicater. :innocent whistle: Herself is happily planning a BUNCH of cosplays.....(Ebay is your friend. I got it for less than half-price, and it only had about 6 hours of printing time. Still expensive, yes - but we don't have jet skis, or motorbikes, or go-carts...we don't have an RV, or go mountain-climbing, or other expensive habits. This? Will more than earn it's keep, I promise you. Both kids have plans for it.......and I like them to be creative. It's been fun this past week, watching them play around with it.)

Anyway. We're back on vigil tomorrow AM. My building should be finished tomorrow; tomorrow afternoon the electrician and flooring people are supposed to come out to quote me on those. Once the wiring is done we'll insulate and panel the whole she-bang, then the carpet can be installed and I can move my stuff. It's bittersweet, but.....life goes on.

Red Road - feature

Red or dead

With her debut feature film, Red Road, Andrea Arnold has created a new landmark in Scottish film-making. It won the Jury Prize in Cannes, and this month it premieres in Glasgow, where it was filmed. To kick off this extended article on the film, Paul Dale explains why it is so good, and talks to Arnold about what she set out to achieve.

In these lean times for Scottish film it is women who are at the vanguard of quality, truth and all that should be right in cinema. Think of Lynne Ramsay, who made Morvern Callar, or Shona Auerbach, who was responsible for Dear Frankie, or Alison Peebles, who directed AfterLife. The work of these Scottish or Scotland-based filmmakers certainly lived up to its promise. But now, Andrea Arnold’s mature, intense and brilliant Red Road has come along. Could we be witnessing a high watermark in Celtic cinema?

Red Road is a curious, vital, and truly gripping thriller about Jackie , a CCTV operator in Glasgow, who each day watches the goings on in and around the rundown Red Road scheme in the east end of Glasgow. One day she sees a familiar face, that of Clyde (Tony Curran), a recently released felon. We don’t know what he’s done, but Jackie knows. Then, for reasons we do not understand, she proceeds to stalk him into the darkest heart of madness.

If this sounds like a stereotypically bleak, grimy arthouse movie, then prepare to be surprised: it is shot through with warmth, humour, and real humanity. While it weighs in at just under two hours, the film gradually cranks up its pace until it reaches a riveting conclusion.

Much of the film’s strength lies in the three-dimensional nature of the characters. There’s a real sense that Arnold has worked out a lot more about their histories than she needs to reveal in this film, and this is no accident. Indeed, Red Road is the first film in a planned trilogy called ‘Advanced Party’. The project is inspired by (but not mired in the excesses of) Dogme 95, masterminded and produced by Carrie Comerford and Gillian Berrie from the Scottish production company Sigma Films, in collaboration with Lars von Trier’s Zentropa and based on characters created by the people behind Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself, Lone Sherfig and Anders Thomas Jensen.

Their idea - or masterplan - is that three young directors (Arnold, fellow Scot Morag McKinnon and Dane Mikkel Norgaard) will each make a film under strict constraints, namely that the budget should not exceed £1m per film, the film must be shot in Glasgow, feature the same actors (and to a certain extent the same characters), and should take no longer than six weeks to make.

Andrea Arnold takes up the story of how she got dragged into this mad venture: ‘Zentropa were looking to do a sort of low budget scheme where they got some first time filmmakers to do a project with restrictions, a bit like the Dogme concept. And they came up with this idea of giving three filmmakers a set of rules to make a film each by so they contacted me. They had been looking at a lot of people’s shorts and I think they saw my short Wasp at the Edinburgh Film Festival.

‘I had a couple of interviews and they asked me to join and they asked a couple of other directors to join as well. Basically they told us what the rules were if we wanted to participate. Then it got very official - we were given this four, five page document, which explained the rules. They were a bit weird when you first read them, but it is quite straightforward really.’

So did Arnold break any of the rules? ‘No. It was six weeks, I shot in Glasgow, I used HD, so I was pretty faithful to the brief really. Actually there was some slight breaking of rules to do with the casting because we didn’t really have time in the end. When my film got green lit we had run out of time to cast. In the beginning we thought, “why don’t we cast early before we write the project, and then we will have this cast and we can write our projects with this cast in mind”, but that didn’t happen. We did a couple early on and then everyone got too busy and we didn’t see each other for ages so we only ended up really fully doing most of the casting very last minute.

‘I felt a bit sorry for the actors, because having one director is tough enough. Having three is hard going. Not only did these actors have to fit the part; they had to fit across three people’s visions, which is pretty high stakes.’

Whatever the truth about the backstory, the upshot of all these shenanigans is one of the best films to come out of Scotland since Ramsay’s Morvern Callar, a film of singular vision, reserve and awe inspiring intelligence. It’s a film that has more in common with the cinema of David Lynch, Terrence Malick, and Belgium’s Dardenne Brothers, than anything homegrown. Andrea Arnold seems to know she is coming from a different, very special place. Laughing in case she sounds too pretentious, she says, ‘The great French filmmaker Robert Bresson said, “Build your film on stillness, whiteness and silence.” I’m always quoting Bresson: he had lots of good things to say.’

The making of Red Road

In a rare and very frank interview, director Andrea Arnold explains why shooting the film in Glasgow was so inspiring, and reveals how she went about filming one of the most explicit sex scenes ever seen in a Scottish film.

Andrea Arnold

Because I worked with a mostly Glasgow crew there were a lot of people who had worked around the Red Road estate and had horror stories to tell, people throwing knives at the window at you and stuff like that. So I think people thought, ‘oh we’re going to come across trouble’ but we didn’t have any trouble whatsoever. Everyone around there was really friendly; they came up and talked to us. I think it’s interesting, people’s perceptions of places. One of the people working on the film has lived in Scotland all her life and it really opened her eyes to be filming somewhere like that. She’d had this idea of estates and a kind of fear of those places. It really opened her eyes to actually be there and talk to people. She came up to me at the end and said that it had been a real education for her and that she had been really glad of it. It made me realise that a lot of people who live in Glasgow don’t go to places like Red Road.

All the CCTV footage we had to shoot ourselves. We wouldn’t want to use real footage, because that would be an invasion of people’s privacy. Actually we wouldn’t be allowed to, so we had to shoot everything ourselves. And most of the CCTV stuff we do use is stuff of our characters anyway so we did incorporate people from the area into the filming. We actually went round and actively sought out people who lived in the area to be in the film, so we did incorporate real people who lived there. Actually a lot of the people from places like Saracen Street and Red Road, they’re used to filming and they all said, ‘Are you doing Taggart? Can we be extras?’ So people were quite wise about it and knew that if you got to be an extra you could earn fifty quid or whatever. In the end we did use a lot of real people round and about. If we had any characters walking about anywhere that was real, and real people got in, we’d ask them if they minded, would they sign a release form, so that we could use that shot. If somebody walked through a shot and then they walked behind the camera, someone would chase them with a release form saying ‘sorry, do you mind, we got you on camera, it’s for a film, Red Road, do you mind?’ Most people said yes, the odd person might say no, but most seemed to like it.

There was one moment when we were filming on CCTV we caught a fox by accident coming out of the dark. It was beautiful, one of my favourite shots in the film. I hope people don’t think we had an animal handler standing by with a wild fox to let go! We caught the fox on film by accident, and some of my favourite things in the film are the happy accidents, the things that came sort of by surprise.

When I have made short films, I’ve tended to shoot pretty much in the order that things will appear in the finished film. But in this case our schedule didn’t allow me to do that. The one thing we did manage to keep roughly in place was the sex scene. That was to really allow everyone to know each other a bit better, so that we could deal with it and not be strangers. But we all were really determined to get on with it. Everyone was extremely professional and I’d like to give all credit to the two actors because they were incredibly generous to each other. They were at drama school together some years ago so they knew each other which, I think, helped. It was a very, determined, professional few hours. We were in that room together for about four or five hours and had to just do get it done so I do remember the end being really quite rushed. That’s the thing on long films, you have to stop at a certain time and everyone has to go home, no matter what.

I felt really ready to make this film. I mean, making every film is daunting, but I felt totally ready for this challenge. I’ve done a lot of things in my life, I’ve been around a bit, and I just felt really ready for it. Mind you, it didn’t feel like it was going well at the time: it was a fairly hellish shoot. When you’re filming, you kind of know you are getting some good material but you don’t really know if the thing is going to work until you put it together. I can’t remember which director said that when you edit and you put the images next to each other it’s like putting flowers in water. They kind of wake up.

Who's who in the film

The voyeur

Kate Dickie

Name Jackie

Played by Kate Dickie

What’s her story? CCTV operator by day and chain-smoking stalker by night, Jackie has a secret and it’s a big one. But why is she so obsessed with ned jailbird Clyde (Tony Curran)?

What Dickie says about her character ‘I feel so much for her, for what she has suffered and I feel such a compassion for her, I just think I know this woman, but that’s obviously down to Andrea’s great writing. Jackie’s a sorry soul because she has suffered so much I felt really protective like she is my best pal or something.

‘I found it really difficult to let go of her - just ask my long suffering partner. When I was at home during the intense six week shoot I was just mumbling terrible lines at people. The role took over my life. In fact, even when it finished it took a good month till I felt normal again. I feel so lucky to have played her.’

Oscar potential Huge. Like Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver, Dickie is in just about every frame of Red Road. It is her powerhouse performance which beats at the very heart of this remarkable film.
Kate on Andrea Arnold ‘She is amazing. Andrea just doesn’t look at life the way you and I look at it. I mean, I could walk down the road and see nothing and she could see the most beautiful thing in the most mundane settings. She says, “look at this, isn’t it beautiful!” I found it really humbling to work with her, and I learned so much.’

The lost soul

Name Stevie

Played by Martin Compston

What’s his story? A waif and stray who has managed to find a little solace on the 24th floor of one of the Red Road tower blocks, Stevie has a girlfriend from down south called April (Natalie Press), but their relationship is more one of connection between two broken people than anything physical or passionate. Stevie is also Clyde’s best friend.

What Compston says about Stevie ‘He’s a bit of a tortured soul, to be honest, he’s just obviously a guy who has never really had anyone there for him his whole life; he really just doesn’t give a fuck about anything. In Clyde he has found a big brother and a father figure all in one who has looked after him and I think he is immensely loyal to him. He is just a bit wild, but everybody has a wee bit of good in them somewhere, and his goodness is his loyalty to Clyde. He’s just not had a very good life, which sometimes makes him not a very nice person.’

Oscar potential Good. Since Sweet Sixteen, Compston has attracted great notices for his performances in the Ken Loach segment of Tickets and in Icelandic filmmaker Fridrik Thor Fridriksson’s Niceland. He will also soon be seen in US coming of age in New York indie A Guide to Recognising the Saints. Plus Compston loves LA: in fact he has just left to spend three months hanging out there with his old mate Curran and may get more work stateside. Let’s hope he doesn’t forget his roots.

Compston on Andrea Arnold ‘I saw Andrea’s short Wasp and it was a stunning little film. And then I just had to get involved with her first feature. Working on Red Road was a great experience. Scotland needs to punch above its weight in cinema, but we tend to stick to those depressing films with people taking drugs. We are great at doing that, but it sometimes seems like that’s all we do. It was great to try something different in a Scottish film.’

The Messed Up Runaway

Name April

Played by Natalie Press

What’s her story? April is a mystery and remains one for most of the film. She comes from somewhere down south, and seems to have some kind of addiction. She is an innocent in a decrepit world but she seems to share a bond and blank faced victimhood with her troubled boyfriend Stevie (Martin Compston). She also has a fear of heights. What brought her to Glasgow and why is she living so high up in a tower block when the wind doth blow?

What Press says about Glasgow ‘There’s a passion in Glasgow that can be very intense. Being with three real Scots while making this film, I was in my element. As a group we cared for each other - like we were a clan - loyalty is a big thing with Glaswegians. I loved having two tough guys around me all day, and when I was with Kate we would make sure the other was happy and we would make each other laugh.’

Oscar potential Minor. Press’ role is small in the film, though very important. It is rumoured though that her role will be much bigger in the second film of the trilogy, so maybe it will be a case of second time around for the gifted star of My Summer of Love and Arnold’s award winning short, Wasp.

Press on Andrea Arnold ‘It is clear to me that Andrea is the most exciting talent in British independent film. So when I learned I had the part - after a long, long wait - I jumped in the air. British independent cinema has so few truly brave directors. Andrea stands alone.’

The Mysterious Fiend

Tony Curran

Name Clyde

Played by Tony Curran

What’s his story? Ned, jailbird and estate lothario, Clyde seems to be drinking himself into oblivion. He’s got a room in the flat of his mate Stevie (Martin Compston) in which there is a bed and a bare light bulb. Why is Jackie (Kate Dickie) so obsessed with him?

What Curran says about Clyde ‘I think he’s not just a Glasgow character, he’s a universal character. He’s somebody society has forgotten about. He is actually trying to better himself by getting out of prison and getting off the drugs but deep inside he’s hurting.

Characters I’ve played in the past have been quite hard-edged and people may be thinking, ‘oh god, here we go, this guy is a real nutcase, he’s a sexist bastard, you know’. But a lot of the women - and men - who’ve seen the film, they really were quite touched.’

Oscar potential Very good. Curran is the one bona fide movie star in the film and so he should be - he’s been working his arse off for a decade and a half. The odd episode of Taggart, A Touch of Frost and The Bill aside, you may have seen Curran in Pearl Harbor, Blade II, Flight of the Phoenix or Miami Vice. Yet, his turn in Red Road is by far the best thing he has ever done, it is a multilayered performance of controlled menace like few you would have seen before.

Curran on Andrea Arnold ‘Andrea is a very clever woman. I love working like that. I’m open to whatever way the director wants to work and I’m happy to go along with their philosophy so I’m very much into the way Andrea directed this. There’s one scene where I have my way with this woman. When we shot that sequence at like, two o’clock in the morning, I didn’t know where the camera was and Andrea was up on the high rise somewhere so I just had to act it out. I couldn’t even see a camera crew, so people who were walking past and they saw this guy shagging this girl up against a wall and they were like; ‘Hey, what you doing?! Hey man, what you up to?”’

Selected release from Fri 27 Oct.

FIN 48: Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

Today’s post is a guest post from a colleague of mine.  His name is William Crozier and he has over sixteen years of experience dealing with tax issues including their proper financial reporting.  William has his own consulting practice providing temporary tax function management, support and advisory services.

The time has finally come for private companies that issue GAAP financials to implement FIN 48 – Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.

On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, the most significant change to accounting for income taxes since the adoption of the liability reporting method or FAS 109.  The purpose of FIN 48 is to clarify the recognition of uncertainty by establishing a minimum threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the company’s financial statements.  FIN 48 applies to taxes covered by FAS 109 for regular for-profit organizations, pass-through entities such as partnerships, non-taxable entities, REITs and other registered investment companies.

Recognition under FIN 48 works based on a two-step process of recognition and measurement.  Recognition occurs when a tax position, based on its technical merits, is more likely than not to occur.  The amount recognized or measured will be the largest amount of benefit or liability that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement, determined on a cumulative probability basis.

The recognition now required under FIN 48 clarifies the recognition and measurement previously done under FAS 5. The most intrusive or disheartening aspect of FIN 48 is its new disclosure requirements.  The new rules now require a tabular roll forward of the beginning and ending aggregate unrecognized tax benefits plus the specific detail related to tax uncertainties for which it is reasonably possible that an amount of unrecognized tax benefit will significantly increase or decrease within twelve months.  The “rub” comes from the fact that work product previously protected by client-attorney privilege could lose its protection since it will now have to be revived by outside auditors in support of reporting under FIN 48.  The Internal Revenue Service has had a “Gentlemen’s Agreement” that they would not automatically request FIN 48 work papers but has reserved the right to do so on an individual basis.  One such request is currently working its way through the courts.

So, what does this mean?

As with any new pronouncement from FASB, it means a lot of work.  The first thing you will want to do, if you haven’t done so already, is to meet with your outside auditors as soon as possible to scope out document requests and plan their review.  A proper FIN 48 review will look at every issue, no matter if it is questionable or not.  For example, if you have a subsidiary that pays a tax-free dividend to its parent every year, as part of your FIN 48 review process, you will have to document its proper tax treatment even though it is established law.  To give the reader an idea of the possible documentation needs, a recent FIN 48 review that I was involved with for a medium-sized multinational company consisted of about eight medium sized three-ring binders.

DJ Nu-Mark x Quantic: Tropicalifornia

Your favorite funky Uncle Nu is back with another Broken Sunlight Series record. Previously re-working Ernie Hines’ “Our Generation” for No. 3, collabing with J.Live and Tyron and Ayomari on No. 2, and Bumpy Knuckles and Large Professor on No. 1, this time he collaborates with the Will Holland aka Quantic and a flip side featuring Laudir de Oliviera. This record is for all you World Beat guys, the kind who love a little Samba style (if you know what I mean) in your records.

“Tropicalifornia” is a trip through world music with a funky, funky beat. Uncle Nu gets busy on the drums, keyboards, the accordian while Quantic (and friends) do their thing lovely. Live musicians mixed with Nu-Mark’s signature cuts (on toy turntables) and featuring some of his toys from his DJ toy set in the video, “Tropicalifornia” is a journey from the Left Coast to the UK with stops in Latin America and Brazil and beyond. What will Uncle Nu come up with next? You’ll have to stay tuned. He’s about to embark on a tour to the Far East and Australia by the end of the year, so catch DJ Nu-Mark, his toys, and one good DJ set in a venue near you.

Check out more info on his Broken Sunlight series here.

Fortem TrueView

Enabling package delivery and bvlos

Size, weight, power, and cost - reinvented.

Fortem TrueView is a family of cost-effective and efficient (compact) military-tested radar solutions. TrueView is optimized for both air-to-air manned and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and for longer range ground-to-air applications. TrueView includes AI-enabled detection and classification to provide a complete view of local airspace. TrueView provides early warning of intrusive or non-cooperative air traffic, enabling safe beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operation. TrueView provides awareness and intelligence for both aircraft operators (pilots) and ground-to-air detection and monitoring. TrueView is available for international markets and is not restricted by ITAR regulations.

Why Radar?

As prioritized by the FAA and NASA, radar technology is the foundational sensor for UAS airspace management strategies. TrueView is a small, compact, powerful radar detection system providing tracking capabilities that monitor a marked or defined airspace, and reports all airborne activity within that space.

Fortem TrueView Drone UAS Radar

BVLOS drone package delivery

TrueView is available for international markets and is not restricted by ITAR regulations.

Fortem TrueView radar's compact size and light weight allows it to be fix mounted on drones and other Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) to provide Detect And Avoid (DAA) capabilities for Beyond Visual Line Of Sight (BVLOS) operations.

TrueView's detection range and Field Of View (FOV), provides 'best-fit radar technology" for drone intrusion detection and monitoring, providing complete local airspace awareness.

Four Models

The Fortem TrueView radar comes in four models: the model R20, R30, R60, and the Fortem DAN-C radar. The Fortem DAN-C (Detect Assistance Non-Cooperative) is adapted to work in manned aircraft as part of an overall avionics solution integrated with technologies such as ADS-B, while the other models are targeted for unmanned BVLOS and ground-based radar solutions.

Flash Drive FS system skew

#1 Post by extremelabs » 28 Mar 2017, 03:47

The drive is a 2GB Imation drive with a lot of jpgs in several subfolders. I believe the file table might have been over-written. Worked one day, not the next, exchanged between Mac and Linux Debian machines.

The FS lists incorrect file names, and one HUGE file substituting for hundreds of smaller ones.

The TestDisk software claimed incorrect geometry, so I re-did that, and nothing changed at all. It can find files, but one with non-sense creation dates and all the same file extensions.

I tried photorec on the drive as well, additionally to no avail.

It's a FAT 32 FS, and appears to have been somehow over-written, or skewed, or perhaps damaged somehow that i don't understand. The number of heads is 62, whereas your app claims there should be 255. I adjust to 255, and there is no change in the file listings, sizes, etc.

Any help sincerely appreciated. Not irreplaceable, but it will take time.

Can you try PhotoRec 7.1-WIP ? Enable the expert mode in Options, start the recovery, choose [Whole] and a blocksize of 512 bytes, use the default options otherwise.
Does it recover your data ?

No Comment Option on blog posts

  • trailsnet

    I recently realized that the option to add comments isn’t showing up on the blog posts. I’m sure there’s a simple solution for this, but, after trying all the options that I could think of, I still haven’t solved the problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Kenneth John Odle

    Have you enabled comments in both WordPress settings (Settings >> Discussion) and Graphene options (Graphene Options >> General Options >> Comments)?

    Thanks for the suggestions, Kenneth.

    Yes. Those were the first two things I checked when I realized the comments weren’t showing up on the blog posts. As you can see by the screen-shots I’ve enclosed, neither of those options seems to have a clearcut “comments on or off for blog posts” option. But it seems like I’ve checked & unchecked all the appropriate boxes. Comments are working fine on the trail and regular pages but not on blog posts.

    Kenneth John Odle

    Those images aren’t showing. You need to upload them somewhere on the internet that is publicly accessible.

    Is the comment function working fine on older posts? Or is it absent from all posts? Are you using any kind of comment plugin?

    I just looked back at older posts such as:

    and the comments are working fine on those. So this must be a recent problem.

    As far as comment plugins, I just scanned through all the plugins for this site, and I don’t see any comment plugins. I know I’ve got the Jetpack Comments enabled. I’m not sure if that’s the one that Grapheme options refers to when it says: Use WordPress Settings (for the comments option).?

    Kenneth John Odle

    It is probably a Jetpack issue, then. You may want to try playing around with the Jetpack comments settings.

    I feel dumb: exporting data to a CSV file

      Dear all,

      in the past I succedeed in exporting the data cointained in a PDF form. Nowadays, instead, I collect a batch of duly filled in pdf files (e.g fillable.pdf) into a folder but when I try to export the data contained there I only get an empty CSV file.

      Example file - download

      What's wrong with my procedure?

      Thanks in advance.

It could also just mean Sasuke individually as the last panel showed Tobi/Madara/Sasuke and could mean those 3 are now separate antagonists since Madara can now move around freely. One does have to wonder if Madara still considers Tobi his partner or will do things on his own.

A non uchiha villain? Yeah that would be exciting. It would be interesting what that scroll actually says but I'm betting it has something to do with the Sage of 6 paths. Oro obviously has quite a bit of info on him and I'm betting his original goal was to somehow transform himself into him. He wanted to gain all knowledge in this world which is what the Sage had. He wanted an uchiha body and did experiments with the 1st's DNA. He was looking for a way to combine the two. Kabuto likely did a half assed version of that to create the new Madara.

Artwork is very catching (nice coloring style)
Your synopsis got me interested. I will also be hoping for a PC port.

Also Kanako Itou doing the opening is always a plus.

EDIT: Seiyu list is impressive

(by order of appearance on the website)

Miyano Mamoru - Okabe Rintarou
Imai Asami - Makise Kurisu
Hanazawa Kana - Shiina Mayuri
Tamura Yukari - Amane Suzuha
Kobayashi Yuu - Urushibara Ruka (opening romanizes it as "Luka")
Momoi Halko - Feiris NyanNyan (opening romanizes it Faris)
Seki Tomokazu - Hashida Itaru
Gotou Saori - Kiryuu Moeka
Terasoma Masaki - Tennouji Yuugo
(cant find the seiyu name, cause the kanji has no furigana) - Tennouji Nae

EDIT2: *facepalm* no wonder the art looks so familar! It's huke of the BlackRock Shooter fame.

One crazy B****

    So I have an archive of about 200 mp3s, which we add to on a weekly basis that I'd like to add an RSS feed for. I'd like to have iTunes integration (though that's not really a requirement). What solutions do you guys recommend that are free/cheap? I currently store metadata in a DB, should I move to xml or use both? I'm working with PHP, but am open to using other languages if they'll get the job done.

    These days I'd do both iTunes and standard RSS 2.0. iTunes really just modifies the RSS 2.0 specs to spawn the iTunes client, and has some extra fields in the XML files for including photos and even documents not found in normal feeds such as the RSS 2.0 format. The documentation at iTunes walks you through what to do, and you just add links on your page as well as podcasts, which are available via the iTunes store of course for subscription for streaming media.

    If you know XML and simply need to view the specs on an iTunes/RSS XML file then go here and view source on that page to see the XML file.

    RSS 2.0 is so standardized most any language has frameworks for it, and PHP is no exception. That's my choice, actually, for creating a decent feed tied into your database. Here is a link for creating an RSS feed using PHP and MySQL but PHP also works with most common DB formats. You didn't mention your DB type, so I'm being general.

    Pct help...

    I'm sure this has been covered many times, but I couldn't seem to find it so apologies if this is a repeat!
    I've been off cycle for a couple months now. Did a pct that was recommended but it didn't seem to help much. Now I just have lack of motivation and no energy. I still make myself go to the gym, and once there I'm fine but it seems like I have to talk myself into it to get there.
    Since being off cycle my diet hasn't been that great either, it's seems like cycling off hurt more than it helped.
    By the way, I'm 43, and have been pretty steady in the gym for the last 2 years. Just looking for some advice on where to go from here... need to get my energy and motivation back.

Adams Papers

C. W. F. Dumas to John Adams: A Translation, 18 April 1781

C. W. F. Dumas to John Adams: A Translation

The Hague, 18 April 1781

Last evening I visited an influential friend who, upon learning my surprise that your memorial1 was back at the clerk’s office and, as I understood it, was considered thrown out or rejected, told me that the expression was exaggerated and that the memorial was left there for brand new consideration.

Everyday we expect the dispatches from St. Petersburg. We were assured in advance that they would be satisfactory. I hope to know more about this Friday evening.

Last night I was asked for your address. I do not doubt that you received a letter today from a certain party and that the letter was cordial and courteous.2 I have not visited this person yet and will tell you why when we see each other. You will approve. I persist in what I wrote to you about it last time.3

I have just learned that Mr. Searle and Mr. Dana are with you. If you would be so kind as to give me your news and their news tomorrow, I would make it my duty to visit and congratulate you on Saturday morning. But I would like to be certain first that we do not miss each other or pass each other because someone could arrive here or in Amsterdam during the time that I am traveling to Leyden.

I believe that the states of Holland are adjourning on Friday for a short time.

I hope that your son is recovered4 and will be able to come to our beautiful fair with his brother and Mr. Thaxter. You should come and see it also, as well as Mr. Searle and Mr. Dana, to whom I wish to send my regards. I remain, sir, with all of my devotion, your very humble and very obedient servant

RC (Adams Papers).

Day 10: Foxy Advent Calendar Tip Of The Day

Leave a comment

Ten days in and still so many more awesome tips to go. I truly hope all of you Foxes are enjoying getting all of these great tips from our experts across the country.

I met Gina Chong when we both won a COSA back in 2005, and have stayed in touch with this vivacious lady all these years later! Gina is currently a Chanel counter manager at Hudson’s Bay Southgate in Edmonton, and has been in the business for decades.

“Keep your make up fresh and natural looking while giving skin a glow with a primer. Try Le Blanc De Chanel Multi-Use Illuminating Base. Used under foundation or mixed in, this will give your skin a healthy glow. It can also be used with your concealer. It’s light weight, non oily and easy to apply.”

I know with this cold, dark winter I need anything I can get to give me a little glow… Thanks Gina!

Foxy Friends, do you use anything underneath your foundation? A primer? Tell me and let me know what kind you use. Until tomorrow!

Day 14: Foxy Advent Calendar Tip Of The Day

Daniela Barbieri is a Beauty Boutique Manager at Shoppers Drug Mart, and I had the pleasure of meeting and working with her when I first moved to Ontario in 2008. In addition to working together, I also attended her wedding, and we even had our first babies only 5 days apart! Her 11+ years of experience and her bubbling personality shines through to all of her customers and they love to visit her time and again. She has a couple of great tips to wake up your look:

 “Winter time can make your skin look dull and make you feel like you need a good dose of summer! I like Vichy Idéalia Eyes to give my under eyes a bit of golden glow and to help camouflage any dark circles. I also use it under my eye brow bone and on my cheekbone to give a nice subtle highlight. Stila makes a Topaz Kajal Eye Liner that I also use and recommend. This liner gives a wide eyed and open look, making you look like you’ve had enough hours of sleep.”

Dark circles? Check. Lack of sleep? Check. I will take both. Thanks Daniela for a tip that can help Foxes wake up from our winter slumber!

Foxes – eye liners with colour are sure back! Do you use something outside of the regular black or brown?

  1. Silver, purple, green, copper, gold… but then again I don’t usually wear shadow, just liner and mascara, because of all the yoga/barre/hiking/weights I do, any other eye makeup just melts into a big mess.

YouTube applies advertising to most videos which use copyrighted music, including music downloaded from Audio Network, through the AdSense service. Videos you produce and upload to YouTube using our music may have ads inserted by third-party networks. To block third-party ads or to monetise your YouTube videos, you will need to buy a Creator+ or Professional licence. This will also prevent unwanted ads (such as competitor ads) showing on your videos.

Your rights

You have the right to request a copy of the information we hold about you, to ask us to stop using your information, and to request that we close your account. To file a Subject Access Request, please get in touch at

We reserve the right to suspend or close user accounts which have breached the copyright and recording rights of the music offered by Audio Network Limited. Suspension and closure of accounts deemed to be in breach is permanent and irreversible. This action does not preclude a user’s existing rights over their data.

Changes to this privacy notice

Occasionally it may be necessary for us to make changes or alterations to this privacy policy. It is your responsibility to check for such changes.

Your order is covered by the privacy policy which is in force at the time you place an order.
