In Kubuntu 9.04 Amd64. installed from default repos, I get this error whenever I open a video file.
(6029) findLibraryInternal: plugins should not have a 'lib' prefix: "libkfilemodule.so"
Any idea what could have cause this ?
Thanks but I'm still having problems opening any file.
I've setup qt4-config to use KDE's default theme (I'm using BeSpin) and I do see the new filedialog in used but it still crash when trying to open a file but now it only gives out this error.
Silly me. I got it fixed on my system. It works fine if I use it for more than 1 frame. Crash whenever I use to capture only a single frame.
Hello troot thanks for the application.
Any chance in future releases the ability to disable timestamps, sometimes they are a bit annoying , i tried setting the font size for timestamps to zero but that didn't work.
I installed videocut with synaptic in knoppix 5.3.1 and it works perfect!!!
I could translate it in Greek language,if you want.Just give me instructions.
Perhaps a list with all words needed to translate.
First off, thanks for sharing this program! I've tried a few similar utilities, but like this one best. It's worked great on every video I've tried with it.
1) When saving a file (exporting a composition), the file type defaults to .png regardless of what the Options|Main Options|Default image format' is set to. Also, I'd prefer it replace the video files extension (like .mpg) with the image format (either .png or .jpg). So 'videofile.mpg' would get saved as 'videofile.jpg' or 'videofile.png'.
2) The first composition correctly displays the 'VideoCut' watermark at the top of the page. Subsequent compositions (created using the 'Open video file' button) don't, despite the 'Options|Main Options|Show logo' being checked.
I also have a few 'requests' for improvements.
1) A Re-draw button (to see the result after changing some options).
2) Drag & drop capability, to create a new composition by dragging & dropping a video file onto VideoCut window (it works great dropping a video onto VideoCut's desktop icon).
3) The option to choose time-based intervals, so smaller videos generate fewer frames.
I realize this is 'only' version 0.2.0, but feel these improvements would be worthwhile.
ViedoCut is great appliacation, but a I have problem.
And when I open .wmv video, VideoCut crashed (Others videos it is good).
I know, but I need them to be made automatically when I add a film to a database. Hope you compile console version soon.
Good job, nice app, but! Installation procedure don't install videocut app, just menu file (is that for KDE4, because they not show in KDE3 K menu?), SVG icon and doc's.
Are you planed to fix that?
It's about installation from source or from deb-package?
http://qt-apps.org/ and not this site.
In section "Depends on" present "Qt4.x".
Yeas, it depends on Qt but it dont mean it is KDE application.
This is only a Qt application and it's place is Qt-apps.org site and not kde-apps.org.
KDE application use KDE standards like KDE styles, icons, color schema and open/save dialog.
I even have tested this on KDE 4.0 and it dont use KDE styles.
So please, move this application to correct site, to qt-apps.org because this site is for a KDE applications, not for a Qt applications.
This is recommendation or order? :) On this site many applications wich depends on Qt4 only.
It is recommendation to move.
Because this site, as it's name already says, is for KDE applications what integrates to KDE desktop, so all applications here, should follow KDE styles, icons, colors etc. Unless those are spefic stuff like commander scripts what should still be mostly like normal KDE apps.
Qt-apps, as it's name explain, is for applications what only requires Qt.
Then later when user wants total KDE desktop, she/he can come to kde-apps and be 100% sure that all aplications integrates well with his/her desktop.
There are users who dont understand that or dont care, and adds Qt only applications here.
Qt-apps.org site is build just for that reason, otherwise we could add GTK+ apps here too, because we can "fake" them to look almost like KDE apps with gtk-qt tool.
If someone kill's someone, does it mean that you can do same because someone already did it?
There is two ways, Videocut comes KDE apps by developing it so it use KDE styles, color-schema, icons etc and stay on this site, or it is as it is now and moves to Qt-apps.org site.

Turn of the century technology: It is unlikely that you will find an older home with no upgraded wiring. Usually it contains a mixture of the original setup, plus upgrades seemingly splattered around. That is due to people frequently replacing some systems while leaving others alone. Unfortunately, the amp load from your modern appliances and devices could be too much for this delicate balance, and you risk a fire hazard. That is why it is important to call your electrician to perform a whole home upgrade.
New appliances: Washers and dryers can last decades. If you are replacing your mid-1980s models with the latest and greatest with sensors and circuit boards, consider upgrading the electrical wiring associated with them. This assures they get the power they need without causing shorts in the rest of your home. You can also add surge protection to reduce those possibilities further.
Tenants complain: If you own a rental property, there are obligations you have to tenants, including maintaining a functioning electrical system. When they start noticing dimming lights and appliances causing shorts, it is likely that the apartment has insufficient amperage. Address this immediately for both habitability and safety issues.
Dimming lights: Flickering and dimming lights are an indication that your system cannot provide the needed amperage. Most homes require at least 200 amps, while smaller bungalow-type places can go as low as 150. Before the technological revolution, it was possible to get away with 50 to 100 amps. However, that is not adequate now, and could pose safety issues if you do not make the needed upgrades.
Failed inspections: Nothing should get you acting quicker than a code violation. If your home remodel, commercial building or rental property comes out on the losing end of an inspection, that is not just bureaucracy in action. It is an indication that there are items wrong with your wiring that need to be addressed by an electrician immediately.
Not enough outlets: Creating complex systems of extension cords in your home is not a safe option. You should only use them for temporary reasons, like if you need to keep a fondue pot going in your living room or you are waiting for another outlet to get repaired. Extension cords should not be your solution to keeping your computer and media devices powered. This causes a fire hazard, and also fails to protect these items in a surge. Adding outlets with an electrical upgrade provides an easy solution.

Hiring a foreign domestic worker in Singapore should be an easy thing, especially for people who understand the rules of the game. Singapore has very specific guidelines when it comes to hiring maids. You cannot just pick anyone from anywhere and bring them to the country.
There are a few countries that are authorized by the Singaporean Ministry of Manpower to provide maid services for residents in Singapore. If you are going to hire a foreign domestic worker, then she must come from these authorized countries. One of these authorized countries is Bangladesh.
The Singaporean Ministry of Manpower has endeavored to provide a practical guide that can help people in the country find and hire the best Bangladeshi maids.
Are you ready to comply with all the legal responsibilities that come with the employment of an FDW? - Hiring an FDW or foreign domestic worker comes with a number of legal and financial responsibilities. As an employer, you will need to cater for the salary of the Bangladeshi maid. You will also need to pay her upkeep and maintenance costs, cater for her medical care, the accommodation and the food. There are also other onetime costs including the air tickets, the agency fees, and fees for work pass applications. When you do the math, you will realize that this is not a small undertaking and before you do it, make sure you are ready to shoulder the financial and legal responsibilities as an employer.
What does your family think about this? When you bring in a foreign domestic worker, it’s very likely that they will be living with you for the duration of time that they will be offering their services. If you have a family, they need to be comfortable with the idea of having another person live with them.
Do you have some time for orientation? A maid from Bangladesh may not know Singapore that well, she may lack the knowledge to fit in into the society and besides this might be her first domestic job. As an employer, you will have to facilitate the maid’s transition from her own country to Singapore and train her on her duties before you can finally give her the responsibility.
The maid may lack the knowledge to operate modern household appliances. It’s likely that the maid will have no experience in working or living in high rise buildings and this may affect their productivity. The maid may also not be able to offer the level of care you expected for your kids or elderly. It’s always advisable to at least coach the maid and communicate clearly what you expect from her as far as taking care of your kids and elderly goes. It’s also likely that the maid may not have the capacity or the ability to do the job you’ve assigned to her.
It’s always better to be patient with a maid. If you can teach her and coach her on the roles she will be playing at home, she will soon start to help you.
Hiring a Bangladeshi maid in Singapore is possible and the only thing you need is to follow the guidelines set by the Ministry of Manpower. You can visit SearchMaid.com to learn more.

In order to guarantee you the utmost relaxation and enjoyment at the Hotel Torino Wellness & Spa we thought that our hotel would not be complete, above all, without swimming pools and a fully-equipped gym.
You can find the first swimming pool outside the hotel; it is extremely large with two different depths for both adults and children, connected by means of a secondary, circular swimming pool, with a whirlpool bath and cervical cascade area. All around this, there is the solarium area with beach umbrellas and sun loungers served directly by the poolside restaurant.

Acne on your body can be extremely frustrating. You know it’s there and you know you’re hiding it. It can also be a lot more difficult to treat. The best solution to this problem is getting the best body wash. It’s the easiest and most effective way to remove body acne- all you need to do is use it while bathing. Your skin will be sure to thank you.
For me personally, I much prefer using a body wash to soap. It’s a more enjoyable experience and that’s what bathing should be- enjoyable. All you do is squeeze the product out of the bottle and apply it to your problem areas. It’s not messy and you don’t have to worry about over-pouring. It’s portable and easy to store.
Soap is a different story- it’s just not nearly as efficient. It can stain the shelf on your shower and overtime it’s likely to collect hair. Now I’m certainly not trying to discourage you from using soap. There are many good soaps available that can improve your skin. I just believe that body wash is superior when it comes to bathing.
Exposed Skincare makes the best product on the market. And it’s really not even close. They have terrific reviews to Amazon and similar websites. Other popular brands you see on television like Old Spice and Dove contain harmful chemicals that can irritate your skin. These chemicals include but are not limited to: SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate), artificial colors, and added fragrances. In many cases these chemicals will end up drying your skin. So instead of taking of helping your condition, you could be making things worse. Also, these brands are not specifically targeted for acne treatment so you can’t reasonably expect results.
It’s always best to go with a more natural solution- and that’s exactly what Exposed Skincare provides. It’s formula is specifically designed to target and treat your acne. Here are a few of their main ingredients: sage extract, pro Vitamin B-5, and tea tree oil. These nutrients work together in order to clear your pores and detoxify your skin. They will also stabilize your body’s oil production. The product is free of sulfate and paraben. If you use this product everyday then you can expect to see significant improvement after only 30 days. Usually you will see noticeable results even sooner.
The price is certainly reasonable for the quality and assurance you receive. Keep it mind that 12 fluid ounces is a relatively large amount. The bottle should last you at least three months if you use it daily.
I’ve personally dealt with Exposed Skincare and I will say that their customer service is top notch. They genuinely care about their customers and will help with any questions you have. They also offer refunds is you are dissatisfied for any reason. They offer full refunds because they are confident that their product works. There’s really little to lose and much to gain by trying their product.

Your company’s next big opportunity may be right in front of you. For anyone wanting a boost from innovation, the problem is not a shortage of ideas, but identifying useful ones and knowing how to exploit them.
A success story based on a lightbulb moment is always appealing.
We’re so used to thinking of innovation as a eureka moment that we can be blind to the fact that it’s usually more of a process: you keep doing what you’re good at, but you raise your receptivity to little flashes of inspiration along the way.
Innovation experts Peter Bradd (CEO, The Beanstalk Factory) and Amantha Imber (founder of Inventium) outline a systematic approach to making companies and their employees more ideas-friendly.
Peter Bradd’s company, The Beanstalk Factory, helps large organisations create innovation environments. He uses the broad OECD definition of innovation as the implementation of a new, or an improvement to an existing product, service, process, business model or operational model.
To get that innovation motor humming you need to create a map.
First, there must be clarity about the company’s direction.
“The CEO has to identify the strategy,” Bradd says.
“He or she has to think about how to relay the strategy. Find a way to make it personal, because it has to align with what employees and investors know of the CEO’s own thoughts and beliefs about how the commercial world operates.
Bradd’s advice for boards: it’s hard for a CEO to be “ambidextrous”. By “ambidextrous” he means focusing on generating cash from today’s core business units as well as assessing how to leverage unique assets for the future.
Therefore, consider creating a second, equal role of chief entrepreneur, with the board acting as arbiter in any disagreements.
Dig into formal innovation theory.
Third, bring your ideas to fruition.
Dr Amantha Imber, founder of Inventium and co-judge of The Australian Financial Review’s Most Innovative Companies List describes five ways to do this.
Challenge refers to people working on tasks that are complex and interesting — yet at the same time not overly taxing or unduly overwhelming.
Leaders need to signal that risk-taking is an acceptable part of business. Talking openly about failures and what can be learnt from them is a valuable place to start.
Experimentation is a mandatory step in an effective innovation process. It involves setting hypotheses as to why an idea will add value to the customer, and creating a minimum viable product – the most basic version of the idea that will still allow for learnings.
When employees perceive they have a choice in how things can be done, they are significantly more likely to engage in trial and error and, through this, find more effective ways of doing things.
Ensure that different points of view are encouraged and that ideas are regularly debated.
And finally, how do you measure the success of innovation?
Inventium’s Dr Imber recommends tracking innovation inputs – such as the number of people trained in innovation skills, number of ideas submitted, amount of money invested in running ideas – as well as outputs, such as the amount of revenue driven by new products and services.
Peter Bradd suggests asking: Are you ahead or behind compared to your traditional approach after six months? Has there been a staff engagement uplift? Are your customer satisfaction scores higher?
Rapid change offers great opportunities. The problem lies in how to recognise these chances. That’s an ongoing challenge – but a fascinating one.

During a series of budget hearings last week, lawmakers pressed acting NASA Administrator Chris Scolese to concede that U.S. President Barack Obama’s five-year budget plan does not support a robust human spaceflight program capable of delivering astronauts to the Moon by 2020.
Obama’s budget request sent to Congress May 7 proposes a spending plan for NASA that dips slightly in 2011 to $18.6 billion and remains near that level through 2013. Under the new plan, the space agency would spend approximately $3.4 billion less on the Moon-bound Constellation program between 2011 and 2013 than was forecast under former President George W. Bush.
The problem is not spending. It is a fatally flawed technical “solution” to VSE bootstrapped by NASA brass from the ATK(SRB Manufacturer) proposal of 2004. Because it does the opposite of the original Vision in the sense of using as much current hardware as possible it will be even more expensive than the “cheap” STS approach which also proved the exact opposite and thus was a failure in terms of it’s original brief.
On the current budget and using the (originally NASA’s ’90’s proposal) DIRECT configuration proposals we can achieve the goals using STS money in the post Shuttle phase. But we won’t and Constellation will be cancelled because of HUGE coat overruns – and Obama intentions.
Let’s see, Congress can afford to spend hundreds of billions and trillions of dollars that may never be seen again on bailing out crooks and thieves on Wall Street but can’t come up with $20 billion per year for NASA?

What a month it has been since my last column. While the full impacts of the 416 Fire will not be known for some time, it feels like we dodged a bullet and things are slowly returning back to normal. I have seen lots of conversation about the fire and wanted to give my perspective.
I have been reading and listening to the community discussion about the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad and its role in all of this. I will not tell anyone what to think, but I do want to offer some facts about the railroad and its economic impact on Durango. This information must be considered as this conversation continues.
Two-hundred thousand people buy train tickets every year. Some are locals; the vast majority are people visiting our town. Let’s subtract 30,000 that are local riders, so 170,000 are from elsewhere. Furthermore, let’s assume that most visitors are families with kids. Not all are, of course, but for the sake of this exercise, let’s assume the 170,000 visitors are all families with two kids, so four total people. That means there are 42,500 families riding the train every year.
Now, let’s conservatively look at how much they spend while in Durango. I am using a two-night stay in a hotel. They would spend approximately $300 on a hotel for two nights. They would eat at least five meals while here for two days, and at $50 per meal, we can see how much they spend on food while visiting. Let’s also assume they spend around $200 on souvenirs and other goods from our local shops.
These assumptions work out to a total spend for those 42,500 families of $750. This is VERY conservative, as I know when I go out of town for a weekend with family, we spend closer to $1,000. So as not to overstate things, let’s use $750 per family. Keep in mind this does not include what they paid for train tickets, gas if they drove here or airline tickets if they flew here.
Doing the math, this produces a conservative total spend of nearly $32 million. Furthermore, the sales tax on this conservative total spend figure is just under $830,000. That sales tax pays for police, roads and other city services we all need.
When looking at economic impact, typically, you would add to the figure above the jobs created by the railroad, as their employees buy goods from local businesses. You would also add the impact of the railroad buying services and goods it needs from local businesses, which creates more jobs. In turn, those employees spend money on their own needs.
You would also add the charitable donations by the railroad, which is about $350,000 annually. The $32 million is really just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the railroad’s impact to our local economy. I have seen studies that show a total economic impact from the railroad of nearly $200 million.
I ask that all of us keep this information in mind as we discuss the future of Durango’s original local business that created our town.

text: A painful tooth can wreck your everyday activities and sometimes extraction treatment is the only available solution. The minor surgical process is carried out by the dentist and may require a few hours of hospitalization. There are several causes that lead to the same. It could be rotten teeth, which is affected with too many cavities or even loose gums or periodontal diseases, which lead to bleeding and loss of teeth. Though several modes of treatment are implemented, extraction is perhaps the only solution if none of them work. Dental extraction procedures may take as less as 30 minutes or can go up to a couple of hours or more depending on the condition of the tooth. A local anesthesia is given prior to the procedure. In some cases a general anesthesia may also be given to ease other associated pains. Slight bleeding is also common post the procedure and the dentist may ask you to wait a few hours in the hospital or rest at the clinic to ensure that everything has gone well. Also, in case of multiple extractions, the time taken can be longer. After the tooth is extracted, you will notice a drastic difference in your eating habits. With the painful tooth gone, you would be able to resume normal habits within a few days of the surgery. In case your tooth was infected, it will prevent the spreading of the infection to other parts.

Quinnipiac University is making every effort to become more environmentally-conscious with their electrical power – in fact, a 100 percent effort.
Since Jan. 1, 100 percent of Quinnipiac’s electricity requirements have come from renewable energy credits.
The University has decided to “go green” to advance its environmental position in the community and in the realm of higher education, according to Associate Director of Facilities Keith Woodward, leader of Quinnipiac’s Sustainability Interest Group.
“We have been talking for three to four months about wanting to make all of the electricity green,” Woodward said.
Through Quinnipiac’s electric supplier, Trans Canada, the University obtained Connecticut Class II Renewable Energy Credits, converting garbage, certain hydropower and bio mass supplies to energy.
“We needed to work through the renewable energy credits with our supplier and in the end we could provide Quinnipiac with 100 percent green electricity as defined by the state of Connecticut,” Woodward said.
Laboratory Instructor Kristen Richardson, organizer for Quinnipiac’s Sustainability Interest Group, is also aware that more can be done for the environment.
According to the American Coal Foundation, nine out of every 10 tons of coal mined in the United States today is used to generate electricity, and more than half of the electricity used in the U.S. is coal-generated.
“I feel electricity can be the dirtiest form of energy,” Richardson said.
Most electricity is generated by coal because it is the cheapest fossil fuel. When coal is burned, it creates steam that pollutes the air.
The University has also made other environmentally-friendly changes to improve the school. Approximately 40 percent of its chemicals are Green Seal certified.
“All of our paper products such as toilet paper and paper towels meet or exceed EPA standards for recycled paper content,” Woodward said.
Quinnipiac has replaced 383 toilets this past summer. This will decrease the water usage by about 2 million gallons on the Mount Carmel campus.
A hydration station was also installed on campus to decrease the use of water and to try to persuade the community to reuse their water bottle. The first location is in Tator Hall next to a water fountain by the Computer Help Desk.
Quinnipiac recently received a $11,130 check for installing environmentally-friendly lights in the Facilities building.
It’s great that QU wants to help reduce its environmental impact related to electricity. It’s unfortunate that Transcanada is only supplying QU with Class II energy. While legally “renewable” Class II is mainly trash incineration and old hydropower. Class II certificates have little value.
Truly clean energy is either CT Class I or certified by “Green E” and I’d encourage QU to look into this as other schools and almost 100 CT towns have done. I’m sure the state Clean Energy Fund would be happy to assist.

1. Ensure their non-resident status has not been breached.
Absence and foreign employment must last one whole tax year. Any visits to the UK must total less than 183 days per tax year, and average less than 91 days per tax year over four years.
2. Dispose of assets whose value has significantly increased.
During non-UK residence, any capital gains realised on the disposal of assets, whether situated in the UK or elsewhere, are not chargeable to UK Capital Gains tax (CGT).
Where the individual was resident in the UK for at least 4 out of the 7 years immediately preceding the tax year of their departure, and they return to the UK before 5 complete tax years have passed, any gains realised whilst abroad will remain chargeable to CGT on their return to the UK.
There is no CGT on gains arising from assets acquired after an individual’s date of departure from the UK and sold before their return.
It is important to receive financial advice in respect of any disposals made in the non-UK country of residence.
3. Retain assets showing a loss.
Losses can be offset against future gains where those losses are realised whilst the expatriate has a liability to CGT as a UK resident.
4. Recommend or review a will.
There may have been changes, not only in UK legislation but also within the expatriate’s family life during the period of non UK residence.
5. Review the individual’s UK Inheritance Tax (UK IHT) position.
Having built up substantial capital resources, there may now be a potential UK IHT liability.
If the spouse is non-UK domiciled, an excluded property trust can be used to protect overseas assets from UK IHT.
Income producing assets should be held in the name of the lower rate taxpayer. Likewise, in respect of CGT, a higher rate tax payer pays 28% compared to 18% for a basic rate tax payer. Utilise both personal tax allowances.
7. Consider the surrender of segments from an offshore bond.
From an income tax point of view, any gain from the surrender of segments happens on the day of surrender. A withdrawal is deemed to happen on the last day of the policy year in question, by which time the individual could be UK resident.
8. Ensure the expatriate is aware of Time Apportionment Relief (TAR).
If, for example, an individual has owned an offshore bond for 10 years and they have spent 5 of those years living abroad, only 50% of the gain would be liable to UK income tax.
9. Consider an offshore bond for non UK domiciled spouses.
A ‘non dom’ living in the UK may claim the ‘remittance basis’ of taxation. Once the foreign spouse has been in the UK for 7 out of the last 9 tax years, they will be subject to tax on the arising basis unless they pay a £30,000 charge (increasing to £50,000 after 6 April 2012 where residency is 12 or more years).
10. Close down any UK deposit accounts prior to return.
The full amount of interest received will be assessed as it is income arising in the UK, with no apportionment related to the part of the year where the expatriate was non- UK resident. Allow adequate time to avoid penalties or forfeiting interest.

Other than the imposing Castle and the charm of the old town, a visitor arriving in Kos for the first time will certainly be impressed by the archaeological sites scattered inside the town.
According to sources, the homonymous ancient capital of the island was one of the most beautiful coastal towns in the ancient world. The buildings that adorned Kos during the Hellenistic years were the theatre, the prytaneum, the gymnasium and the ancient agora - buildings that served the dual purpose of functionality and decoration.
Its perimeter was 4 kilometres with a separate fortification for the harbour. Some sections of the ancient wall dating back to the 4th century B.C. were discovered in excavations carried out at the harbour. The catastrophic earthquake in 1933 gave the opportunity to German and Italian archaeologists to carry out more intensive excavations in the town of Kos, and since there were many monuments, the excavations were divided into zones.

Staples is running a crazy good deal this week on the 7th generation Kindle, Amazon’s latest basic Kindle.
Normally the new Kindle sells for $79, but it’s marked down to $59 just about everywhere that sells it this week. Except Staples has taken it even further by offering a $30 prepaid Visa card with the purchase of a new Kindle.
After rebate, that takes the price down to just $29! I can’t ever remember a new ereader being that cheap, especially a Kindle. That’s gotta be a new all-time low.
And what’s great about the $30.00 rebate card is that it’s a regular prepaid Visa card, not a gift card, so you don’t even have to use it at Staples like some of their earlier promotions.
The $29 Kindle deal is valid from today through 12-27-2014. But I bet they sell out way before then; Staples often does with these type of deals.
It’s interesting that with all the hype of good deals on Cyber Monday and Black Friday, the best deal of the year for an ereader comes just 4 days before Christmas.
Don’t forget that other Kindle ebook readers and Fire tablets are still on sale as well. The Kindle Paperwhite is a top choice and it’s marked down to $99 through December 28th on Amazon.
Thanks for the tip. I took advantage of it.
Thanks another Christmas present done.
Sweet! Great price for gifting. Still thing Amazon should reduce costs on their basic Kindle so that the regular price MSRP is $49.
Gifted an Amazon Kindle Fire 7 to my Mom recently that I bought for $110 on sale – another sweet deal.

As a person grows older into adulthood, it may dawn on them that our race is in danger, but before that happens, in young adulthood many will engage in permanent and irreversible race-mixing, before the thought enters their mind.
For this reason it is especially important that we inform young people of the danger of white extinction and of their contribution to it by having children with someone of another race, that we may reach some of them before it happens.
It is possible that this topic never occurred to them, and once informed, they may think twice about dating and marrying outside their race.
Then again, it may have no effect, but at least they are then making an informed choice. Once you as a WN have informed someone of the impending danger of white extinction, you have done your duty as a WN for that particular person. Any decisions they make after that conversation are their responsibility, and you can move on.
All you need do is quickly plant the seed of 'white extinction' in their mind, when the topic of dating comes up, and then move on in a friendly manner.
You just might save a white bloodline today.
I love your planting the seed comment, ultimately that is all we can do, plant seed in these miscegenators.

On October 8th, the New York Times will host a conversation with Cate Blanchett, Robert Redford, Dan Rather and Mary Mapes to discuss Truth. Unfortunately the event is already sold out.
Academy Award®–winning actress and producer Cate Blanchett and Academy Award–winning actor, director and producer Robert Redford discuss their new film “Truth.” This powerful, real–life story of the newsroom drama spotlighted Dan Rather and his CBS 60 Minutes producer Mary Mapes, putting both at the epicenter of a journalistic storm. Dan Rather and Mary Mapes will join the discussion. Written and directed by James Vanderbilt and based on Mapes’s book “Truth and Duty,” the film goes behind the scenes of the 2004 CBS 60 Minutes investigation of then–President George W. Bush’s military service in the Texas Air National Guard. Interviewed by New York Times Magazine staff writer Susan Dominus.

text: The advent of remarkable technology, next-generation sequencing (NGS) has opened a new horizon in molecular biology. This technology is considered as the second revolution after the introduction of PCR machine. NGS technologies allow direct and cost-effective sequencing of multiple DNA fragments in parallel to produce millions of short sequence reads in an impressive speed and cost-effective manner compared with Sanger sequencing. The result of these studies provides the knowledge for basic research. Additionally, these data could be applied to improve crop yield. At present, different platforms are available in the market including SOLiD/Ion Torrent PGM from Life Sciences, Genome Analyzer/HiSeq 2000/MiSeq from Illumina, and GS FLX Titanium/GS Junior from Roche Company. These technologies are routinely being applied in a variety of aspects, including de novo sequencing, mate-pair, whole-genome sequencing, targeted resequencing, transcriptome profiling and epigenetic. To date, the NGS platforms have been used to sequence the genome of cucumber, coca, apple, barely, banana and tomato in combination with Sanger sequencing. Also, wild strawberry, muskmelon, watermelon, chickpea and orange genomes were sequenced using next generation sequencing platforms alone. Whole-genome sequencing provides a reference genome for crop research studies. Resequencing of multiple cultivars and land races has become affordable by NGS and the resulted data could be used for phylogeny studies, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) discovery and the study of functional genes. In addition, the NGS technologies have enabled researchers to sequence mRNA (RNA-seq), rRNA, tRNA, and other non-coding RNA from plants in different conditions including biotic and abiotic stresses and developmental stages. The generated data set can be applied for gene discovery, gene functional studies and molecular marker development. RNA-Seq has been used as a powerful and cost-efficient tool for advanced research in many areas. Compared with microarray, RNA-Seq is more efficient in gene expression profiling; because it avoids many limitations of microarray such as, the dependence on prior knowledge of the organism, cross-hybridization and dye based issues. This technology has been used in transcriptome profiling studies for various plants, including maize, rice, soybean and potato. The generated data set provide a baseline for future experiments and create a sequence resource. In epigenetic, large scale chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay and DNA methylation analysis are other important applications of next generation sequencing technologies. In spite of the remarkable progress in sequencing technologies, highly repetitive and also heterozygous or polyploid genomes in plants still remain an issue. Although NGS makes genome sequences available, the data analysis and biological explanations are the limitations of this technology.

It happened on Nov. 9 at about 7 p.m. when the victim, 35, was walking in front of 5630 Broadway. An unknown perpetrator opened fire on him, shooting him twice in the face and twice in the back, before fleeing, police said.
Police who were on scene said the victim was uncooperative at the time of questioning.
The victim is in stable condition and this case is open to detectives.
2. A taxi driver and his fare got into an argument that allegedly led to a fight near the corner of Broadway and W. 254th Street.
Police say the cabbie told the victim, 32, to get out of his car, before lunging at him three times outside of the vehicle.
The victim told police he walked home before realizing he had a slash wound on his torso and deciding to go to the hospital.
3. A man’s car was stolen after he spent a night at a local motel believed to be a place of assignations, according to police.
Officers said the victim, 51, met a woman for dinner on Nov. 11 and took her to the Deegan Motel, at 3600 Bailey Ave., to spend the night.
When he awoke the next morning, the suspect, whom the man described as being blonde, 5-feet 2-inches tall and 47-years-old, was gone and had taken the victim’s phone, keys and car with her.
Police say the car was 2010 Honda Odyssey, valued at $15,000. This case is closed, but an alarm is out in case the car is spotted.
4. Another car was stolen on Nov. 7 from the corner of Claflin and Reservoir avenues, according to police.
They said the 2004 Acura was parked at about 7 p.m., when the victim left it unattended.
When he arrived a few hours later, the car was gone, with no broken glass or evidence of a break-in. He told police he had no outstanding tickets and he was the only one with keys to the vehicle.
5. A woman’s car was broken into on the corner of Johnson and Edsall avenues early on Nov. 4, according to police.
The said the victim, 30, left her 2002 Ford Explorer parked on the street and when she came back, someone had broken in through the rear window.
Perpetrators stole a set of golf clubs from the trunk and $100 in cash from the glove compartment.

Outside the Walls is a weekly Catholic radio program that "Explores the Foundations of Faith and the Implications of Faith on daily life."
On the recommendation of a friend, I gave this episode a listen. I am a subscriber now! Timothy has a very good voice, and this guest was absolutely the balm my soul needed. Excellent conversations and insight, the music was unique, and I loved the emphasis on story.
In a world where the acceptance of Catholic teaching is less and less accepted in popular culture and in some cases, even frowned upon, Outside the Walls is incredibly useful to me as a Catholic. Timothy helps keep me rooted in my faith outside of mass, and helps to educate me further on teachings of the church so that I may be firm in my stance and belief, and answer questions asked of me in the real world. While I'd hardly consider myself a scholar, OTW is thought provoking and interesting, and provides me with a spiritual refuge in a digital Information Age that can often be anything but. I highly recommend this show.

SaskTel may be grabbing most of the headlines these days, but the Saskatchewan government is engaged in another privatization initiative that will have significant impact on the province.
Following its April re-election, the government’s first bill introduced the groundwork for the privatization of 40 of 75 existing public liquor stores, plus the opening of 12 new private stores in communities across the province.
A mere three sentences in length, Bill 1 repeals s. 2(b)(ii) of The Crown Corporations Public Ownership Act. Passed in 2004 by the Lorne Calvert-led NDP government with unanimous support from the then-Saskatchewan Party opposition, the act sets out a procedure that must be followed before a Crown corporation can be privatized to ensure the public interest is protected.
Crowns mentioned in the act include SaskTel, SaskEnergy, SaskPower, SGI, and (in s.2 (b)(ii)) the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority.
Private liquor vendors aren’t new to Saskatchewan, of course. For decades now, the province has had a mixed public-private system. Before the Wall government’s election in 2007, though, private sector involvement was typically limited to off-sale outlets and small-scale vendors in rural communities.
Starting in 2009 with the granting of two speciality wine franchises in Regina and Saskatoon, followed by four full-line liquor vendors in 2013, and a further move to privatize four public stores in Ituna, Langenberg, Kerrobert and Ponteix in 2014, the government has steadily widened the opening for private liquor retailers.
Further private sector expansion was part of the Sask. Party’s campaign platform in the April election, and its victory could be interpreted as a mandate to charge ahead. Still, by issuing requests for proposals (RFPs) to establish private retail outlets to replace the 40 SLGA stores before Bill 1 has been passed, the government is arguably violating The Crown Corporations Public Ownership Act.
That’s not the only bit of trickery it’s engaged in, says Saskatchewan Government Employees Union (SGEU) spokesperson Tina Vuckovic.
What will happen to those stores is a major concern for many town councils, says Vuckovic. In the case of Ituna, Langenberg, Kerrobert and Ponteix, SLGA leased one property and owned the three others outright.
Two years after they closed, all three still sit empty.
That won’t be the only negative impact of privatization on rural communities, says Vuckovic.
What the owner will do, though, is fire any employees who are under 19. And in the rare instance where a new outlet does open in a community, employees will be earning little more than minimum wage with no benefits or pension.
Critics might accuse SGEU of advancing that argument to protect its members’ cushy union jobs,* but when you factor in the multiplier effect, the hit for local businesses is likely to be substantial.
And it won’t be limited to the loss of SLGA employees, or the reduced purchasing power** of their private sector replacements, either.
The Wall government has an oft-stated policy of not picking winners and losers in the economy, but through the RFP process that’s precisely what it’s doing. Say you’ve got two grocery stores in a town. One gets the liquor license, the other doesn’t. Whose business do you think is likely to prosper, and whose is likely to decline?
It’s picking winners and losers, plain and simple.
Bars and licensed restaurants could face adversity too. As it stands right now, one Maple Creek bar owner notes in an online video (produced by SGEU), that the local SLGA outlet functions as a “neutral hub” that she and her competitors all patronize.
Once the franchise is privatized, though, she’ll be forced to purchase liquor from whichever competitor gets the license.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, the government is also committed to slashing the mark-up on the wholesale price of liquor by 25 per cent to create what it describes as a “level playing field” between existing SLGA outlets and new private vendors, which will inevitably face increased distribution costs in comparison to SLGA’s province-wide network.
In the case of the Maple Creek bar owner, that means her competitor will enjoy a sizable cost advantage, and she’ll be at their mercy trying to negotiate a comparable discount so she can stay in business.
So dim is that prospect, she says in the video, that she and her partner have already decided to sell their bar.
Saskatchewan taxpayers will also take a hit from liquor privatization, a recent Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives report concluded. While there will be some cost savings for SLGA from the store closures, and a modest bump in corporate income tax, author David Campanella estimated that reducing the mark-up by 25 per cent for private retailers would cost the government between $20-$25 million annually in lost revenue.
With the government already cash-strapped, Vuckovic also questions its decision not to institute a competitive bidding process for the right to sell alcohol in the province.
“Normally when a government gives up an ‘entity’, they try to put a dollar figure on it,” says Vuckovic. “That’s not what’s being done here. The RFP pretty much says ‘Make your proposal to us. Not a monetary one, but give us information on where you would be located, how big your store would be, what your [retail] background is, what date you can be open, and so on.
“There’s no bid for the business, so we are giving away stores that earn hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars, and we’re not asking for anything in exchange. To me, that doesn’t make good business sense,” she says.
Allowing further private involvement in the provincial liquor market, boosters say, will increase competition and lead to lower prices for consumers. In larger centres with multiple outlets, that might possibly happen — at least in the short term.
But smaller centres, says Vuckovic, will almost certainly face higher prices.
Under current regulations, SLGA sells liquor for the same price at every outlet it owns, whether it’s in downtown Saskatoon or a remote rural location. Once the latter communities lose their public stores, private operators will be free to charge whatever the market will bear, both to cover their increased distribution costs and earn a tidy profit.
Still not convinced? Consider Alberta’s experience. Alberta privatized its liquor system in 1994, and according to a January Calgary Sun report, it now boasts the highest liquor prices in Canada.
A 12-pack of Molson Canadian, the Sun found, cost $29.54 in Alberta compared to $26.75 in Saskatchewan and $24.95 in the Yukon.
Crown Royal, meanwhile, sold for $35.20 in Alberta, compared to $26.87 in B.C. and $25.60 in the Yukon.
Longer term, Saskatchewan could even see the emergence of a powerful private liquor lobby as happened in Alberta. Described by Calgary Herald columnist Don Martin as the “most successful government lobby group in Alberta today”, the Alberta Liquor Store Association has proven to be extremely effective at advocating for its members’ interests.
Were that to happen in Saskatchewan, Vuckovic has no doubt it would lead to further government concessions.
“This is just the beginning,” says Vuckovic. “They’re privatizing 40 of our 75 public stores, and I don’t believe the remaining 35 stores are safe under this government.
* Fair enough, and also, so what? Don’t we want well-paid jobs in Saskatchewan so people can spend their disposable incomes at local restaurants and shops?

I'm sure everyone has noticed (because a few of you have said so!) that people are reading and commenting less on blogs during the summer. True enough! But there are still some of us out there. Just a friendly hello and links to other sites that I think are worth a visit for one reason or another. If you have a few moments, stop and "wave hello" (i.e., leave a comment saying 'hi') to a new person or two this summer.
(I had to go looking for a picture of Jillian Michaels in her non-workout attire - if you know what I mean - to feel comfortable posting a picture on this site!) Stephanie (of Stephanie's Mommy Brain) wrote a post talking about her experience using Michael's 30-Day Shred. I'm chuckling away at Stephanie feeling like she was going to die after the first few days. (I feel your pain, S!) My friend J started doing the Shred too (since she's here) and we've also been going on whole family bike rides and have been hiking to waterfalls so as to provide a little variety in the workout routine while having fun at the same time!
As most of you are aware, I'm sure, Jillian Michaels used to be larger herself. Here's an article/picture of her way back when but please don't think I endorse the article or the way she speaks in it. I just looked at the picture and skipped her commentary!
Janet from Across the Page shared a list of 25 Reasons to Read. All of the reasons she list are good and I couldn't agree more if I tried. That is definitely a "list post" that is worth reading through!
For those of you who are always looking for something new to cook up - you might want to check out Cooking With Martha Stalwart which is a team food blog. The lovely ladies at Martha Stalwart are either personal friends or personal acquaintances made through personal friends. I was excited to see that they are starting the site up again so if you'd like to snag some tasty new recipes - check them out!
Another note on J-friend being here - I don't have to cook every night. She's cooking some nights. And she makes homemade ice cream. And she makes it really good. It's absolutely not Jillian-approved but as an occasional treat it's downright awesome! Key word being "occasional."
My friend Crista is taking us on a journey through the book A Life That Says Welcome (click on the title to see her first post/thoughts). If you're interested in tracking with her as she shares her thoughts on this book, please join us over at Offering Hospitality.
I'll leave you with two "story book" songs today. Both make me want to go out and buy a hammock.
Enjoy! And Happy Summer to you!
I *have* noticed less blogging this summer, my own blog included! I really haven't been able to be on any kind of schedule since my son's been out of school. I haven't written or exercised regularly in the last two months!
I would love to stop over for some homemade ice cream? Yum! What flavors are y'all making?
I agree with Mary - there has been less blogging going on, including by me!
It's so great that you're suckering other people into exercising with Jillian! ;) She's awesome.
Hope you're having an awesome Monday!
I don't own a coffee maker either. CANNOT stand the stuff. So my father-in-law always brings instant when they visit.
I only worked out once (maybe twice?) last week and I'm feeling it. But I have field trips (with LOTS of walking) planned all this week so I don't see me having the energy to work out.
I have the 30 Day Shred dvd, but, sadly, have yet to actually use it. Will you have a review of it at some point?
Caniad - pride goeth before . . .
