"Count It Higher" is a Sesame Street song about the thrill of counting, performed by Little Chrissy and the Alphabeats in their debut appearance.
A number-themed parody of the rock 'n' roll standard "Twist and Shout," Little Chrissy eggs on the Alphabeats to count higher than before, first up to three, then up to five. Finally trying once again, they count all the way up to ten.
Count von Count performed the song in the Sesame Street Live show, Let's Be Friends.
- In the Alphabeats' first appearance, there are three backup singers instead of two, and the two members who regularly appeared look slightly different: The Lavender Alphabeat sports messy blond hair instead of a smooth brown pompadour, the Green Alphabeat has fuzzy black hair as opposed to his usual blonde hair, and they both have wide, circular eyes with no eyelids; this was the Hot Pink Alphabeat's only gig with the band. In this song, the Alphabeats are voiced by Jeff Moss, Richard Hunt, and Jerry Nelson, with Christopher Cerf pulling double duty on later verses by voicing an Alphabeat in addition to Little Chrissy.
- On Count It Higher: Great Music Videos from Sesame Street, the video has MTV-style captions that refer to Letters of Love and "Broken Records". In addition, it was listed as number 1 on The Count's Countdown Show, because it was The Count's favorite song. The lyrics to this song were released on a songbook in the original VHS release.

Watch out for motorcycles
When driving in a car, drivers tend to look for other cars and trucks before changing lanes and making a maneuver on the road. To ensure safety, drivers must also get in the habit of looking for motorcycles.
Here are some tips to help drivers become more aware of motorcycles on the road:
Look: Because they are smaller, it might be harder to see a motorcycle than a car or truck. Train yourself to look more closely before changing lanes or making a maneuver on the road.
Anticipate: Motorcycles move differently than cars and trucks. Be an aware driver so you can react to motorcycles and anticipate their movements.
Respect: Give motorcycles the same respect you would a car or truck to ensure both of your safety.

From WIkipedia…
All of the three editions have been created by FASA Corporation authors. Six years after FASA's bankruptcy (which occurred in 1999) a second printing of the third edition of the game was published by Fantasy Productions LLC (on November 2006). To reduce confusion between WizKids' MechWarrior: Dark Age games and the MechWarrior roleplaying game, Fantasy Productions renamed this reprint as Classic BattleTech RPG. The newest edition released by Catalyst Game Labs in the line of Total Warfare is A Time of War:
* MechWarrior: The BattleTech Role Playing Game (first edition: 1986)
* MechWarrior: The BattleTech Role Playing Game (second edition: 1991)
* MechWarrior: Third Edition (third edition: 1999)
* Classic BattleTech RPG (second printing of MechWarrior's third edition: 2006)
* A Time of War (to be released in Dec 2010)
Attached are the covers. Note that there were some Limited Edition hardback covers for 3rd and 5th Editions as well as a reprint of the 3rd Edition during it's initial run.

Re: jango's death
In conclusion, you only prove your stupidity more and more with each passing post. It would really be better if you stopped talking and left with what little dignity you haven't already thrown away.
Boba was how old when Jango died? 8? 10? And assume that Jango was away almost constantly, out on jobs (or paying Zam to do them, coward). That leaves very little time for little 'ol Boba now doesn't it? Jango taught his son squat, and just as well, since his son turned out better for it.
You said before that all clones have the same skill, don't deny it now. I proved you wrong, and suddenly you're switching sides. You're like John Kerry (damn Liberal), bloody fence-hopper. And the Kaminoans probably did change the DNA, proving once more that Jango wasn't good enough for them. And even though I hate the long-necked things, I can't blame them.
Jango. Sucks. Period.

I'm curious what you're offering for SoA as well given its rarity and if I should plunge into birthday money for it.The 360 also has me enticed, but being a whole system, I'm sure shipping would be a dick-of-a-fee.
SoA, I didn't realize it was rare until I checked Amazon and eBay. It seems to go for 50-70, but I've said "make me an offer you think is fair," so I'll leave it at that and see. If you're interested, feel free to shoot me a PM! It's in good condition. There's wear on the outer plastic, but the disc and manual are in great shape.

FAYETTE BOYS BASKETBALL: Undefeated in the league. The best overall record in a long time. An excellent season overall.
Fayette's boys didn't go as far as they had hoped in this year's tournament play, but they had a great time getting there.
"I think the kids overachieved," said coach Todd Mitchell, "and that's good."
Mitchell will have some rebuilding to do with the loss of six seniors, but he has some mighty weapons remaining.
Fayette's leading scorer was junior Chandler Sanford with 212, but scoring was spread around for the Eagles and senior Cole Burkholder was only four points back. Zayne Colegrove, another senior, scored 199. Senior Logan Franks added 164 and junior Tyler Cox finished with 130.
Cox was the sharpest shooter at 50 percent, with Burkholder next at 45.9.
Sanford was the leader in three-point shots with 31, averaging 30.7 percent. Franks added 21, shooting 36.8 percent.
From the line, Sanford shot 66.2 percent, Colegrove shot 65.5 percent, and Franks and Burkholder both cleared 60 percent.
Colegrove averaged 2.5 assists per game, while Burkholder was tops with rebounds, averaging 5.8 per game. Cox finished with 4.7 per game.
Cox collected the most steals at 26, ahead of Franks with 24 and Colegrove with 23. Cox finished with 65 steals, averaging 2.6 per night.
Fayette girls coach Tim Nicely likes to think the best is yet to come for his young squad. He will surely miss the four seniors that will be lost through graduation, but don't forget what remains.
The Eagles played with two freshmen starters this season and often turned to two others to come off the bench.
Add to that tally three juniors and three sophomores and you can bet there will be no sympathy for Fayette felt by other area coaches.
And that's just from the varsity roster. There's also some talent on the junior varsity team ready to move upward.
Freshman Kaela Seiler led scoring with 292 points, but classmate Taylor Griffiths was just behind at 290. Junior Mikayla Smith broke away from a slow first half of the season to tally 194 points.
Senior Ashtyn Baker had the best shooting percentage at 56, followed by Griffiths at 40, senior Allison Cuff at 39 and sophomore Paige Keefer at 39.
Griffiths finished with the top three-point percentage of 38, while Smith hit 36 percent and Seiler hit 32. Seiler connected on 33 of her 102 attempts to score the most three-point shots.
Griffiths was sharp from the line, hitting 79 percent. Seiler was good on 66 percent and Smith made 62 percent.
Smith was by far the leader in assists, averaging 4.3 a game, but rebounding honors were much closer. Griffiths averaged six per game, Seiler five per game and Keefer 4.4 per game.
Seiler tallied 59 steals, averaging 2.4 per game.
Morenci's boys basketball team will lose its leading scorer and two leading rebounders through graduation, but all is not lost.
Don't forget there was a freshman starting throughout the season, along with four sophomores and a junior who put in plenty of time on the court.
The Bulldogs got off to a troubling 1-10 start, but finished strong by winning seven of the final 12 contests. They ended the season with an 8-15 record.
"It took a while for us to get our roles in place," coach Jim Bauer said, "but we grew and came together as a team. All in all, I was happy with how the second half of the season went."
Senior Hayze Wolf finished the season as the Bulldogs' top scorer with 253 points, ahead of freshman Alex Thomas with 202. Sophomore Austin Sandusky was third with 167, just ahead of junior Daiton Lemmon with 165.
Sandusky had the best shooting percentage at 52.6 while Thomas came through at 46.7, Wolf at 44.8, Lemmon at 42.1 and senior Austin Thomas at 41.5.
From three-point range, Lemmon had the most accuracy at 37.5 from 16 attempts. Wolf and Alex Thomas both hit 28 percent of their three's.
Sophomore Hunter Borton connected on 72.2 percent of his free throws (13/18). Alex Thomas went to the line the most (34/64 for 53 percent), followed by Lemmon (35/62 for 56.5).
Wolf led under the boards with 157 rebounds, 108 of them on defense. Austin Thomas collected 90 and sophomore Torin Merillat finished with 85.
Wolf made 39 steals and Sandusky made 32. Austin Thomas was the leader in blocked shots with 15, two more than his brother.

Country Liberals politicians have thrown their support behind Northern Territory Chief Minister Terry Mills after a planned leadership challenge was aborted this morning.
Support was being canvassed for the leadership spill late last night, and a meeting had been scheduled for early this morning.
The ABC understands the meeting was abandoned after the Attorney-General John Elferink failed to secure the support of key MLAs.
But, when asked about the issue this morning, Mr Elferink would neither confirm nor deny his role.
"I'm not going to start feeding into the rumour mill any more," he said.
"There is no challenge."
Rumours of a challenge had been swirling since Saturday's Wanguri by-election in which the Country Liberals suffered a swing of almost 13 per cent against them.
Mr Elferink insists he remains a team player.
Mr Mills today confirmed Mr Elferink was prepared to resign in the wake of leadership rumblings.
Mr Mills says Mr Elferink will not face any repercussions as a result of the leadership tensions.
"He has indicated to me, because of the subject of these rumours, he would be prepared to do what he thinks I would require of him," he said.
"What I require of John is to focus on the business of the Northern Territory and provide unqualified support, which he has offered, and provided, which I have accepted."
"I support the Chief Minister of the Northern Territory," he said.
Former party president Rick Setter says the Country Liberals need to focus on unity.
"Everybody needs to be pulling together," he said.
It's a message reiterated by ministers including Alison Anderson, Willem Westra Van Holthe and Peter Chandler, who all expressed their support for Mr Mills this morning.
The ABC understands the drubbing prompted some Country Liberals MLAs, frustrated by unpopular decisions being made by the Government, to consider dumping Mr Mills.
Indigenous Advancement Minister Alison Anderson says the Country Liberals must stick with Terry Mills as their leader to maintain stability.
She says the Country Liberals have done a good job since coming to power and should not switch leaders.
Local Government Minister Adam Giles says he doesn't expect there to be further leadership challenges within the Government.
He says Mr Mills has the support of the parliamentary wing of the party.
"We're a new Government ... putting out a strong agenda on how we want to build the Northern Territory," he said.
"There are always challenging times for a new Government to settle into its place and find its niche.
"I think that is we are seeing a bit of at the moment.
"It's not good; but onwards and upwards."

You won't find gimmicky shamrocks in the windows, antique shillelaghs on the walls, or obtrusive TV screens showing the big game.
It's a cozy, sophisticated gastro-pub and lounge that offers a welcome twist on a tired neighborhood standby. For all this and more, Sweet Afton is quickly becoming a favorite new watering hole among thirsty locals since doors opened at the end of August.
"It's just a great place for beer and somewhere you can go and make friends. That's it," said the owner-manager Ruairi Curtin, who moved to Astoria from Ireland 10 years ago. After opening Manhattan hotspots, Wilfie & Nell and Bua, Curtin set his sights on his own neighborhood.
"I always felt there was room for a really great bar here," he said. "I love it here. I really believe in Astoria, but I never really felt like I had a nice bar where I could roll up and hang my hat and know the bartender and get a good drink and a nice burger."
One year after Curtin stumbled upon a vacant former tobacco shop on 34th Street just off 30th Avenue, Sweet Afton was born. The bar is named after an old brand of Irish tobacco, Curtin said, as well as a Robert Burns poem.
With its exposed brick walls, low lighting, rustic décor, and intimate patio, Sweet Afton is homey and inviting, lending itself (and its friendly, attentive staff) to a laid-back, unpretentious vibe.
Most of the interior décor is composed of reclaimed materials. The bar was made from shipping crates, with the original shipping stamps still intact.The large wooden beams that cover the ceiling are pieces from an old barge and olive barrels. ("When they were cutting the barrels," Curtin said, "you could still smell the olives").
Other items are fashioned from one-time German hops poles, and the tables and chairs were scavenged from a defunct upstate diner.
In addition to carrying ten craft beers - such as Captain Lawrence and Ommegang - on tap, Sweet Afton offers a rotating beer of the month and is also the first bar in Queens to feature cask ale, a naturally-carbonated, unfiltered, hand-pumped beer that's typically served warm.
"It's a new thing," Curtin noted. "We're trying to get the temperatures just right."
Curtin's place also has a well-edited selection of classic cocktails, such as the Rye Old Fashioned and Calvados Sidecar (both $8) served up by knowledgeable mixologists. House specialties are created with fresh fruit and infused liquors that are made in-house. The Spicy Cherry Margarita ($9) gives a delightful kick with habanero-infused tequila, and McClure's Pickles from Brooklyn are the star ingredient of the popular Dirty Pickle Martini ($9).
The no-frills menu from chef P.J. Calapa features affordable, typical Irish-inspired pub fare made with produce from local vendors, including meat from Butcher's Block in Sunnyside and fresh bread from Maspeth's Rollo Mio.
Try the hearty Sweet Afton burger with Irish cheese ($8), hand cut, malt vinegar-infused fries ($4), Irish sausage rolls ($7), or delicious beer-battered fried pickles with "smokey sauce" ($4).
Curtin plans to start a brunch menu in October, which he hopes will include a new spin on Irish Breakfast: "Irish sausage, fried egg, blood pudding and Irish bacon— in a roll. It's not the healthiest thing in the world," Curtin said, "but it'll taste good!"

By Lord Dominic Seamor
Martial Reporter, Pennsic Independent
Swift blades flashed in the warm sunshine Monday afternoon as an estimated 400 rapier fighters struggled for a War Point in the Town Battle. The two armies were attempting to control five strategically placed banners (one to the north, one in the center building, one in the east, one to the west and one in the southern pass) in and around a straw-bale town. The placement of the buildings produced four main east-west alleys that served to focus much of the action, while numerous side streets allowed for tactical maneuvers. The battle was an hour long, with (initially) unlimited resurrections. Don Ogedei commanded the forces of the East and its allies who entered from the western edge of the field, while Warder Anton led forth the legions of the Midrealm and its numerous friends from the eastern edge. Both armies fought under the eyes of their respective Royals, with the banners of many other lands also flying in the wind.
Throughout the battle the main action centered on the northern and central banners. The east and west banners were never in serious contention. The Eastern forces took possession of the southern banner soon after the starting guns blasted and held that banner for the entire engagement with a wall of steel blades. But such was not the case in the center and the north. While the East initially took both these positions, they soon lost the northern banner to a superb flanking maneuver from Midrealm troops advancing up the north-central main alley who first pushed back the Eastern defenders and then turned the corner and trapped the guard of the northern banner between themselves and the main Midrealm force advancing on the northernmost alley. That was the first time the northern banner changed hands on that day. It was not the last. The northern banner changed hands approximately eight times during the battle, making it the most contested piece of the entire struggle.
The fighting was just as hot in the center, where the banner was located inside a building, which made the doorways into that building the focal points of the fight. The Eastern army did not hold the center banner for long, being pushed out in the first ten minutes of fighting. The Dragon army set up a strong defense of the central banner that withstood attack after attack. The flow of casualties to resurrection seemed endless. At the halfway point of the battle the Eastern commanders gathered a host of the resurrected and finally gained access to the center building. There was little tactical maneuver possible at the doorways, just a battle of attrition where the superior numbers of Eastern fighters told. The East regained the central position and never lost it again.
At the second planned scoring hold, while the blessed waterbearers delivered their gifts to the thirsty soldiers, it was announced that the combination of heat and humidity made it necessary to change the last part of the battle to a no-resurrection format. To a man and woman, the tired, sweaty fighters expressed their willingness to continue under the original rules of engagement but the chiurgeons, marshals and Royals remained adamant.
When the fighters resumed their struggle, the lack of more lives to lose did not make the hosts of the Midrealm shy of their foes. Warder Anton knew that he must gain two of the banners to have any hope of victory, and he personally led his fighters forward into the battle. All along the line the Midrealm pushed hard against the enemy. Warder Anton fell leading a charge but the loss of their captain only put more fire into the fighters following him.
Sadly, it was not enough. Though the Middle Kingdom army came close enough to the southern and central banners to almost touch them, Don Ogedei and his Eastern fighters slew any foe who came in reach, and the last Midrealm warrior fought and fell in honorable single combat, leaving the East in possession of all three banners, and a final score of 6 to 0, giving the War Point to the East and its valiant host.
Don Ogedei said that his allies deserved special thanks for the quality and quantity of their warriors, particularly naming the Atlantians and Ansteorrans as "absolutely fierce." TRM Edward and Marguerite of the East also thanked their heroic allies, and then led their army in three hearty "Vivats!" for their honorable and hard-fighting Midrealm foe.

ROCHESTER — As Frisbie Memorial Hospital continues to fight for its inclusion in the state's only network currently available under the Affordable Care Act, the hospital's prospects look more favorable next year, when two additional insurance carriers will join the New Hampshire Health Insurance Exchange.
And the hospital found a supporter in its battle Tuesday from potential U.S. Senate candidate Scott Brown, who toured the facility. Brown said if he is elected he will work to repeal the ACA.
"It's not good for this hospital, it's not good for the state of New Hampshire," he said.
According to Frisbie CEO Al Felgar, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, which is joining the N.H. Insurance Exchange next year, has agreed to include Frisbie hospital in the network it will offer through the exchange, under the ACA.
Felgar, who signed the agreement with Harvard Pilgrim on Friday, said he also hopes that Minuteman, a Massachusetts-based insurance carrier also joining the exchange next year, will include Frisbie in its network under the ACA as well.
"We are in better shape," Felgar said Tuesday.
Despite more competition coming to the New Hampshire exchange next year, this year Anthem is the only carrier offering plans under the ACA, known as ObamaCare. Frisbie is among nine New Hampshire hospitals, and their affiliated doctors, that were excluded from Anthem's network under the ACA. In addition, Concord Hospital was invited to join the network, but declined.
Before touring the hospital Tuesday, Brown met with Frisbie department heads. He said the staff is concerned about what kind of care their patients will receive amid the implementation of the ACA, but are also hopeful about the future.
"They are here to care for people, and they will do it no matter what," Brown said.
Brown, who is weighing a bid for the Senate Republican primary, said while the ACA was passed under the promise of patients being able to keep their doctors and hospitals with an affordable price, that did not turn out to be the case.
He said that instead of the ACA, it should be up to individual states to decide what programs are best for their residents.
"The states can do it better," said Brown. "We all know the federal government is not a good steward of our money."
When asked whether he supports Medicaid expansion — which recently gained approval by New Hampshire's Senate and House of Representatives — Brown said he believes in citizens having a safety net; however, he said the Legislature should be "very, very careful" in regards to promises of the ACA.
According to Felgar, Frisbie currently serves about 7,000 patients who have no health insurance. If all of them decide to join the ACA health plans "that's a huge number of people we would lose" to other hospitals, according to Felgar, who said Frisbie's financial future could be in jeopardy. He said uninsured patients make up about 10 percent of all Frisbie patients.
In addition, Frisbie is in danger of losing patients with individual health plans through Anthem. Those patients, who are not eligible for ACA and can afford individual plans, will also have to go to Anthem's narrow network, in which Frisbie is not included.
Since Frisbie's exclusion from the ACA this year, the hospital has lost "dozens" of patients so far, Felgar estimated.
Under the ACA, the federal government would fully fund the state's Medicaid expansion for the next three years.
Brown on Tuesday questioned how the expansion would be paid for at the end of the three years, expressing concern the program would turn out to be an unfunded federal mandate.
Felgar Tuesday said he, likewise, does not support Medicaid expansion. He said while the plan would help hospitals in the short term, the expansion is a federal entitlement the country can't afford.
According to Felgar, Frisbie continues its effort to be included in Anthem's network under the ACA, and so far, the hospital has not been able to negotiate with Anthem. Despite a hearing before the N.H. Insurance Department officials last month, the department has not asked Anthem to include Frisbie in its network.
After Tuesday's tour, Felgar, a registered Republican, said, "Brown understands our problem. I'm encouraged there is someone out there willing to step forward and speak on our behalf."
He also gave credit to Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter, who has made efforts to get Frisbie included in the ACA this year.
"A Republican and a Democrat trying to get us in — that's encouraging," said Felgar.

South Portland police offer gun take-back
Police take unwanted guns, ammunition with no questions asked
The city of South Portland wants your guns.
For several years, the city of South Portland encouraged residents to turn in to police any unwanted, forgotten, unsafe or potentially illegal firearms or ammunition.
In the wake of the recent school shootings, South Portland police stepped up their effort to make people aware of the service.
Authorities said they will take back unwanted guns, no questions asked, and make sure they are destroyed. Police said the program has existed for many years and they have collected more than a dozen guns.
Lt. Frank Clark of the South Portland Police said people often find guns in their homes or simply make a social decision to no longer own one. If they are not looking to make money, police will take it.
"They're just simply trying to get rid of the weapon, they don't want it, they don't want to give it to someone else. They just want to make sure it's disposed of properly and safely," he said.
Police said this is not an effort to eradicate guns from the city. They said they hope to spark conversation by better publicizing their effort.
"Even if they decided not to turn their guns over to the police department, if they're at least talking about it in their own home, saying what guns do I have here, who are they accessible to?" Clark said.
Since Sept. 11, 2001, most pawn shops will no longer deal with firearms. Shop owners in Southern Maine tell us there is too much federal paperwork involved. However, at police headquarters, it's as simple as turning the gun in.
"Quite honestly, if we take in one gun or 101 guns in this effort, it'll be a success because the bottom line [is] it's about gun safety, not gun control," Clark said.
Those who want to turn in a gun should call the police department first to make arrangements. Police said not to walk into the lobby with a gun in your hand.

Saving ASARCO's smokestack to create "superjoint" to cost $14M
Preserving ASARCO's smokestack to make a giant marijuana joint to the benefit of UT El Paso (UTEP) students would cost $14 million a new study says.
Report: Criminals smuggle up to $39 billion in drugs while CBP and Hudspeth County Sheriff Arrest Willie Nelson
The Government Accountability Office is calling for urgent action after Mexican cartels smuggled up to $39 billion worth of drugs into the United States, all during Willie Nelson's 4-and-half-hour arrest and booking in Hudspeth County, TX last month.
The Metro Organization for TexasTea Acquisitions or MOTA, estimates the while Customs and Border Protection and Hudspeth County Sheriff were occupied with Nelson, an estimated $39 billion was smuggled through Hudspeth County alone.

Time for Week 19 of the 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks Challenge! As noted in my first post of this challenge, I am starting with my most ancient known ancestors.
This week's ancestor is Kārlis Graumanis, born August 23, 1755 and died November 29, 1838. He is my great-great-great-great-great-grandfather by way of my maternal grandfather's maternal grandmother Līze Graumane.
Considering the lack of recordkeeping prior to the early 19th century in Latvian territory, insofar as it concerned peasants, it is remarkable that I have these precise dates. Now, they are both from secondary sources – a parish register from 1834 – but it is the best that I have available. Most revision lists give ages five to seven years younger, so it is possible that the dates are somewhat off.
I am not certain where Kārlis was born, but I know that one of his sons, Tenis, was born on Morēni farm on Dikļi estate in northern Latvia on January 10, 1793. Unfortunately, I don't have a source that mentions his eldest son's birthplace or birthdate, and this son – Jānis – is the one I am descended from. He was five years older than Tenis, and may or may not have been born on Morēni farm as well. Morēni could well be the birthplace of Kārlis as well.
Regardless of Kārlis' birthplace, I do know that he spent much of his life on Grotūzis farm, also a part of Dikļi estate, about 2 kilometres west of Morēni south of the main estate lands. There are three men of the right age group – that is, a father Kārlis with sons Jānis and Tenis born five years apart – as the managing family on Grotūzis farm in 1811, and since there is no mention of them having arrived there from another farm, it is likely that they were there in 1795 as well. However, since there are no surnames in 1811, nor female family members mentioned, I cannot say with 100 percent certainty that this is the right family. I've had it happen before where families were replaced with a group with all of the same first names and age spacings before.
At the time of the 1826 revision list, Kārlis is living on Grotūzis farm, with both of his sons and their families. No wife is mentioned. However, by 1834, they have all left Grotūzis – eldest son Jānis and his family have moved to Spurītis farm, while Kārlis, younger son Tenis and his family have moved to Skrīvelis farm, and now Kārlis has a wife, Ilze. Did he remarry when he was well into his 60s, or was his wife somehow left out of the 1826 revision list? There is a widow named Ilze Devika living on Skrīvelis farm in 1826, and while her age is a few years off to be the Ilze married to Kārlis in 1834, ages have been off before. And she is not listed in the 1834 revision list (though revision lists do not usually mention if a woman has died or moved elsewhere, so these are also possibilities as to what happened to her). Did Kārlis marry Ilze Devika? There are no records to definitively prove it, but it is a possibility.
Both Kārlis and Ilze were deceased by the time of the 1850 revision list, and it specifically states that Kārlis died in 1838, as does the parish register I mentioned above – though I have not yet found said death record. They would have died on Skrīvelis farm, which was located just one or two farms north of Morēni farm.
Considering the time period, I am amazed that I have as much on Kārlis' life as I do – but I have even more on his son and grandson. But that is for a different day!

Thanks for the interview
It's nice to see a quite lengthy interview with somebody, who uses Qt/KDE for the work.
I also like working with Qt, although not professionally yet - but that's why I like companies to use Qt.
How many people are actually employed at your company?

small glitches
What annoys at KDE are almost these small glitches in the default configuration and some oddness of the programs.
Example Kmail, you set focus on your mails but are unable to scroll through bykeystrokes. I always did it like that, don't know what other key is used by KDE.
By elek at Mon, 2006/05/15 - 5:00am
Re: small glitches
KMail's keys are set that up and down control one thing, and left and right control another (one set controls scrolling through the list of mail, the other scrolls through one of the individual messages). Not the most intuitive, but it does work better than the other way once you know how it works.
By Corbin at Mon, 2006/05/15 - 5:00am
Re: small glitches
Yeah, KMail's keyboard navigation is broken. This has already been reported as a usablity bug. The dev's ignore it, but you can reconfigure it yourself to some extent to mak eit behave normally.
By ZACK at Tue, 2006/05/16 - 5:00am
Re: small glitches
It's NOT broken. It's the only way which makes sense. I hate to grab the mouse just to change focus into the mail overview window if I want to got to the next/previous message.
After you get used to it you don't want to miss it anymore.
@Kmail devs: please igonre these usability trolls which claim that Kmail's keyboard navigation is broken. It's one of the main reasons I use Kmail.

Re: small glitches
By me at Wed, 2006/05/17 - 5:00am
Re: small glitches
Thirded, nothing even vaguely compares to KMail in terms of usability. It's the power of a shell client, with the power of a GUI.
By Alistair John S... at Wed, 2006/05/17 - 5:00am
Re: small glitches
Heh. I was used to kmail and then tried to use outlook express at work. I could not work out how to scroll through a message and switch between messages. I worked out it was context sensitive, and I can use tab to switch the focus, but the must be a better way.
Kmail is by far much better.

Qt license
"Our test cell code is used in house, which means
Really? It was my understanding that if Qt is used for commercial purposes, the Trolls want it licensed commercially, regardless of distribution. It was never clear to me if that was just a suggestion, or a hard requirement (and if intended to be the latter, whether that's inconsistent with the GPL...)
Anyway, a moot point in this case, since they did buy a license.

By Tassilo at Mon, 2006/05/15 - 5:00am
Re: Qt license
If they only use it inhouse they can even use the GPL version legally. Because the GPL only forces you to make the source available along with the binary if you give it to someone else (outhouse).
By David at Mon, 2006/05/15 - 5:00am
Re: Qt license
Yes, but acording to Trolltech, you cannot use the open-source version of Qt unless you are pulically distributing the code:
Hence my question of how they can require this and not violate the GPL. Anyway, the reading of the above FAQ answer is a bit vague. Maybe they only "recommend" the commercial license for internal applications.
Re: Qt license
"Using the Qt Open Source Edition, can I make _non-opensource software_ for internal use in my company/organization?"
Keyword: 'non-opensource software'
"Although it is possible to write open source software for internal use, it is difficult to ensure that such software is used and distributed legally. For example, if your open source software requires any modules that impose conditions on you that contradict the conditions of the GNU GPL, including, but not limited to, software patents, commercial license agreements, copyrighted interface definitions or any sort of non-disclosure agreement, then you cannot distribute it at all; hence it cannot be given to consultants, employees for their personal computers, subsidiaries, other divisions, or even to new owners."
Right here it says that you can write open source software for internal use, just that if you're using any modules their license may contradict the GPL.
Next time please read the link before posting, ok?
By Corbin at Wed, 2006/05/17 - 5:00am
Re: Qt license
indeed. so, as most software development is done in-house - most development doesn't care at all about GPL or LGPL... and some even still pay for the support!
By superstoned at Mon, 2006/05/15 - 5:00am
Re: Qt license
I'm not talking about GPL vs. LGPL, I'm talking about Trolltech's position that internal development can *only* use the commercial license; you are not supposed to use the open-source edition for internal-use applications:
Re: Qt license
They don't say that. Read again.
By Carlo at Tue, 2006/05/16 - 5:00am
Re: Qt license
GOSH, please READ the article, LMCBoy!
You are making wrong claims.
By shev at Fri, 2006/12/01 - 6:00am
Re: Qt license
They could even sell the apps using the GPL version, as long as they provided the source to their customers upon request, and otherwise complied with the GPL. Trolltech should really call their "commercial" license their "proprietary" license, since there's no problem distributing commercial apps under the GPL.
By ac at Tue, 2006/05/16 - 5:00am
Re: Qt license
That's the experience I had. I've been asked if Qt/GPL prevented the author from being paid for the work done. Most people combine "commercial" with "to be paid for", which is a big issue.
By Erik at Tue, 2006/05/16 - 5:00am
Re: Qt license
Haha, you can sell the GPL version to a custommer but the custommer can freely post it on the Internet and everyone else can dowmload it for free.
GPL really is not a commerce-friendly license. It protects rights of the user, not author's rights.
By ZACK at Tue, 2006/05/16 - 5:00am
Re: Qt license
Long as your take that into account with your business model thats not a problem, RedHat is surviving rather well (and is making a profit) despite all of their code being GPL/LGPL/other OSI approved OSS license.
Also for pretty niche products the version on the Internet probably wouldn't spread very fast...
By Corbin at Wed, 2006/05/17 - 5:00am
Re: Qt license
> But Caleb's company doesn't sell the applications,
Wrong, according to Trolltech:
Re: Qt license

How about actually reading that link? Please stop trolling.

Thanks to AEI for sponsoring QtRuby development
The interview doesn't mention QtRuby, but as well as writing a book about it Caleb and AEI have been sponsoring my work on the Qt4 version of QtRuby recently. So a big thankyou from me for that.

While Mr. Gemma may claim that the district would arrange for extra security, "just as it has for events at Woodside High School's new performing arts center", there have been numerous non-school events at Woodside High in the last month that have caused significant traffic and parking problems, with widespread parking in no parking zones, fire lanes, and the like, and there has been no visible security presence to control this in any way. Based on the district's behavior with respect to non-school events at Woodside High, I can't imagine why anyone would trust them to behave better at M-A.

Unfortunately for the people who live near Menlo Atherton High School they got what they paid for. As far as I can remember (over 50 years) MA High School has been around and for those that are most vocal on this issue you knew the school was near you and that the town would always be growing. Did you not think that with the growing area that the schools would not at some point be impacted! Are we not trying to help educate our children and give them a place to go besides the streets! Please people of the surrounding area get off your high horses and see this is not just about YOU! Where did all of you send your kids to school? I am truly embarrassed at our town council and how they have acted on this issue and many others in the last year. Shame on you too...

It is a shame how we treat education in this town of plenty.
M-A is the only public school we all have in common. The school is a source of pride for the students, parents and alumni. Unfortunately, the accomplishments of this fine school go largely unnoticed by the town population.
The Circus Club has large events, the values on Isabella, Faxon and the other fine streets in West Atherton have not been hurt; in fact most people want a home in the Circus Club location.

As a Menlo Atherton alumnus, I find this appaling. I'm also a Menlo Park resident within walking distance of the school-Willow Rd, Gilbert Ave, Coleman, Berkeley, that area. I was so excited when I heard that my school was going to have a real theater. This lawsuit is ridiculus and I never even considered MA as part of Atherton until this lawsuit arose. Additional drainage work would be helpful not just for the center but also for the school-the hallways flood in the winter. The students and the community need this center. They can't perform plays in the drama room, its too small.

The Atherton halting of this much needed and beneficial project is nothing short of selfish and pig-headed. They should all move to some secluded gated community somewhere.
a resident of another community

How sad for the MA community that this is happening. Seems to me that if more residents of the community (both MP and Atherton) sent their kids to MA instead of private schools, there would not be a lawsuit. Most likely there would be huge numbers of volunteers and financial contributions to the project. It's so nice to now live a community that stands together for their children and great publc education.

Mother nature has been more than generous this year as the 2010 growing season has given us more sun and more heat than we've seen in a long time. With conditions like these the grapes ripen well ahead of their normal schedule with higher sugar levels at harvest.
This year the timing couldn't be more perfect for our pinot noir. We harvested last weekend during the Niagara Wine Trail's Harvest Festival weekend, and this meant that visitors to our tasting room were able to come back to the crush pad and watch us sort and crush grapes.
It looks like we are going to be able to produce a pinot noir reminiscent of our 88 point Wine Spectator 2007 pinot. In 2007 we also saw extremely warm temperatures ultimately giving us ultra ripe flavor and significant weight from a higher than typical alcohol percentage.
The potential for higher alcohol comes from the sugar content in the grape measured as brix. This year our Stonehaus Vineyard, the one closest to Lower Mountain Road, came in at an amazing 24 brix. That means that it could easily boast 13% alcohol by volume. Luckily with a pH of 3.32 and total acidity of 6.45 g/l there will be plenty of natural acidity to keep this wine balanced.
Now we know that this might all be too much information for most of you but we want to stress that we are totally excited about the grapes we grew this season. For the next two weeks we will be fermenting and pressing pinot noir at the winery so stop by if you want to get a peek into what goes not making our critically acclaimed wines.

The people behind the #includedesign campaign, who have been lobbying the government to add a sixth pillar of Creative subjects into the English Baccalaureate (EBacc), have launched a new campaign highlighting the "Hypocrisy of Tech City".
Tech City is the 'brand' name given by the government to the creative technology community in and around Shoreditch in east London. According to some estimates, there are more than 3,000 creative tech firms in this area of London employing over 50,000 people.
The government's aim is to encourage continued investment throughout this area of London – to appeal not only to small and agile startups but the bigger tech companies like Google. The ultimate ambition is to create a tech hub for Europe that rivals the likes of Silicon Valley.
However, Joe Macleod, Global Design Director at ustwo and #includedesign campaign lead, claims that Michael Gove's proposed EBacc has undermined this positive initiative by demonstrating a lack of real understanding when it comes to the needs of start-up technology companies.
This is because, as things currently stand, the EBacc qualification will exclude creative subjects and potentially computer science from the education system – many of which make up key foundations to a successful career within a creative technology company.
Last year, the BCS (British Computer Society) published a report claiming to provide convincing evidence that some of the new GCSEs in Computer Science require a higher degree of intellectual depth to achieve grade C than is required by some Physics GCSEs.
Those involved are quietly confident that Computer Science will be given EBacc status, putting it on a level pegging with the other sciences. However, no such provisions appear to have been made for the creative subjects.
The Design Council's campaign states that the omission of these subjects will have a direct impact on future talent becoming part of technology industry, because both skill-sets are needed in taking ideas from their early sketches, through to rapid prototyping and development, to finally marketing and launching a product.
"The stark message is that the digital industries in Tech City and across the UK will be compromised on the global stage if we cut off the source of talent through a subject selection process that isn't influenced by a student's creative and design ability," said Andrew Henning, Head of Education at the British Interactive Media Association (BIMA)
"There is great digital talent in schools and real interest to pursue a rewarding career in our industry. We are very concerned this will be undermined by the current EBacc policy."
Jason Goodman, founder and CEO of creative agency and incubator Albion, said that omitting creative subjects and computer science from the EBacc will leaving volunteer organisations like Code Club to pick up the slack.
Graham Brown-Martin, founder of Learning Without Frontiers added that the future success of the Tech City initiative relies on talented and inspired individuals collaborating to compete on the world stage to disrupt old business models with creativity and innovation.
"It is our creative application of academic disciplines such as maths, science and technology that provides competitive advantage thus access to and integration of creative disciplines within the school curriculum and our children's lives will be an important aspect of national well-being, economic growth and indeed, the Tech City program," he said.

Second Opinion for Caregivers
As the population ages, families, friends and loved ones of the sick and elderly find themselves in changing roles. Caregivers struggle with the complexity of the medical system, financial issues and family tension. Yet many caregivers refer to their experience as powerful, positive and uplifting. To support caregivers, the health series Second Opinion has created a national public education campaign on caregiving.
Second Opinion for Caregivers is funded through a generous grant from The Jacob and Valeria Langeloth Foundation.
Second Opinion Episodes on Caregiving
Nearly five million people in the United States are living with some degree of dementia. Over the next few decades, aging baby boomers are expected to push that number even higher. This episode of Second Opinion introduces a panel of researchers and healthcare providers, along with one extraordinary dementia patient, who explore the latest trends in diagnosing and treating one of the most frightening illnesses a family can face.
Clinical Trials / Parkinson's Disease
Medical research has helped us lead longer, healthier lives, but it has also sparked ethical concerns and contentious political debate. Through a Parkinson's Disease case, panelists explore the controversial world of clinical trials and debate the potential gains and pitfalls of science on the edge.
Alzheimer's Disease: A Caregiver's Journey
A diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease can be devastating for a person and their loved ones. Caregiving issues surrounding a person with a cognitive disease are unique, and planning for decline in health is critical for the caregiver.
Kidney Disease: Caring for a Chronic Illness
While chronic kidney disease continues to rise in the U.S., Second Opinion explores the many issues faced when caring for a loved one with a chronic disease.
Caregiver Burnout
Thirty one percent of the adult population age 20 to 75 provide informal care to a family member or friend who is ill or disabled. Burnout can result from the physical and emotional challenges associated with being a caregiver. While family caregivers give of themselves out of love, there are real physical, emotional and financial costs associated with caregiving. As we live longer and caregiving becomes a bigger issue in the U.S., learn what can be done to help our caregiving community.
(Source: NIH / National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute) COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary (PULL-mun-ary) disease, is a progressive disease that makes it hard to breathe. "Progressive" means the disease gets worse over time. COPD can cause coughing that produces large amounts of mucus (a slimy substance), wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and other symptoms. Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of COPD. Most people who have COPD smoke or used to smoke. Long-term exposure to other lung irritants—such as air pollution, chemical fumes, or dust—also may contribute to COPD.
Multiple Sclerosis
(Source: National Multiple Sclerosis Society) Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, unpredictable disease of the central nervous system (the brain, optic nerves, and spinal cord). It is thought to be an autoimmune disorder. This means the immune system incorrectly attacks the person's healthy tissue.
Heart Replacement
(Source: NIH / MedlinePlus) Heart failure is a condition in which the heart can't pump enough blood throughout the body. Heart failure does not mean that your heart has stopped or is about to stop working. It means that your heart is not able to pump blood the way it should.
Spinal Cord Injury
(Source: NIH / National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke) Your spinal cord is a bundle of nerves that runs down the middle of your back. It carries signals back and forth between your body and your brain. A spinal cord injury disrupts the signals. Spinal cord injuries usually begin with a blow that fractures or dislocates your vertebrae, the bone disks that make up your spine. Most injuries don't cut through your spinal cord. Instead, they cause damage when pieces of vertebrae tear into cord tissue or press down on the nerve parts that carry signals.
Living With Alzheimer's
(Source: Alzheimer's Association) Alzheimer's is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. Symptoms usually develop slowly and get worse over time, becoming severe enough to interfere with daily tasks.
Cardiac Spouses
Heart disease is something we as Americans talk about a lot. But most often, the conversation surrounds the person who has heart disease or has had a cardiac event. But what about the spouse of that person? Many times the spousal role immediately changes to caregiver, nurse and housekeeper. Cardiac spouses are more suscepible to depression and other illnesses, but their health needs are often overlooked.
Geriatric Oncology
(Source: Cancer.net) More than 60% of cancers in the United States occur in people age 65 and older. Cancers of the prostate, breast, colon, pancreas, bladder, stomach, lung, and rectum are the most common cancers in this age group.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
(Source: NINDS / NIH) Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), sometimes called Lou Gehrig's disease, is a rapidly progressive, invariably fatal neurological disease that attacks the nerve cells (neurons) responsible for controlling voluntary muscles. The disease belongs to a group of disorders known as motor neuron diseases, which are characterized by the gradual degeneration and death of motor neurons.
Childhood Cancer
Few things are as sad or shocking than to hear of a child diagnosed with cancer.
Advances in Alzheimer's Disease
Recent medical studies raise the possibility of blood tests capable of predicting who is at risk for developing Alzheimer's disease. Joanne Mee DeHond shares her mother's struggles with Alzheimer's and the questions that linger regarding her mother's care and her own health.
Down Syndrome
Life expectancy for people with Down Syndrome has increased over the last 30 years – from 25 years old in 1983 to 60 years old today. While Down Syndrome carries certain health issues and risks, people with Down Syndrome and their families are moving beyond the limitations of this disability. Patient and Special Olympic medalist Frankie Antonelli and his mother Debbie share what their family has done to help Frankie reach his full potential.
Hospital Delirium
Hospital Delirium is a grossly misunderstood issue in ICUs in our country, but panelist Donna Smith and the medical experts delve into the topic in a way that will help countless people who are unaware of the issue.
Caregiving Through Alzheimer's Disease
Caring for a family member with Alzheimer's is a cause for stress, exhaustion, depression, caregiver burnout, and other health problems for the caregiver.
