I know people who buy wine based on the label design because they know nothing about wine. And by people I mean myself, which is what makes Wine Spectator's Wine Ratings+ app incredibly handy.
What does it do?
Gives you reviews of around 300,000 wines. Imparts you with a viticultural education by showing you how to taste, store, and even just talk about wine.
Why do we like it?
Think wine just tastes like... wine? This app will give you tasting notes, so you know when something tastes more like rope and when you're just tasting oak, or whatever hints you're picking up in a glass. Not sure if a bottle is any good? You can look it up on the vintage chart. There's plenty of free content inside, but you can pay $3/month to get access to even more vino ratings.

We are a very caring , compassionate and professional group of business partners who wish to reach people before they go bankrupt - or as they go bankrupt to help them through the process. We intend to build a network of trusted bankruptcy professionals across Canada.
Three main groups (in order of importance) :
1) [clients] People going bankrupt. People with severe debt issues. People who need to know more about what bankruptcy involves.
Clients are usually very fearful of the process they face - our visual identity needs to balance professionalism and approachability.
2) [other professionals] Bankruptcy Trustees across Canada. Debt counselors; lawyers; bank/ loan managers or other professionals that the client may meet during their financial difficulties.
3) [Other web marketing professionals] potential link partners for the site; anyone searching for 'content'/information on the topic of bankruptcy / insolvency.
The visual identity (brand logo) must convey :
-friendliness/approachable (think how dentists brand themselves as a happy, cheerful, pain-free place - it's a little different here but it's worth thinking about)
-dedication to service
Having a distinctive / iconic look would also help.
Our business is Canadian and anything that helped to convey that might also help.

People knock Johnny Depp for doing movies based on a fairground ride, but Tchaikovsky gets a free pass for a ballet about tableware? It hardly seems fair. Though we must bear in mind he was working in a noble and time-honoured genre: who can forget the romance of Telemann's opera Saltzeller und Pippepotte? Or Haydn's majestic Symphony #735: The Cheese-Parer, which caused that unfortunate misunderstanding with his patron? And aficionados of 70s minimalism still rave about the anonymous classic Cocktail Stick (Cheese/Pineapple/Cheese). So maybe we should cut the old Russian some slack on this one.
Whatever its origins, The Nutcracker is firmly ensconced in the seasonal repertoire, and the English National Ballet claim a chunk of the credit for the sconcing.1 Their productions in the 50s, along with those of Balanchine and the New York City ballet in the USA, helped make it as secure a part of our cultural heritage as squealing about the red cups at Starbucks and complaining that the Christmas season starts earlier every year. It's also endlessly rewarding and re-workable. This is the second year Wayne Eagling's version has been danced by the ENB and the development of this production was documented in the TV series The Agony and the Ecstasy; a year at the English National Ballet, which gives a fun added element of recognition when the dancers first appear. Personally, I'm still bitter I didn't see the ENB's previous version, which was designed by the legendary cartoonist Gerald Scarfe and featured a giant papier-maché bird and characters named Poly Ester and Vi Agra. Though they danced it for eight years, so it's unclear at this stage exactly whom I blame for me missing it.
Still, Eagling's production, designed by Peter Farmer, is a terrifically enjoyable show. The programme notes say they sought "a darker vision", which makes the heart sink slightly, as it aligns the production with just about every lousy warmed-over fairy tale film, classic novel miniseries or "franchise reboot" we've sat through in the last five years. Aside from being a tall order for anyone trying to follow Gerald Scarfe. But they managed it. For once the Mouse King is a genuinely compelling villain: his mask is a giant rodent's skull with red eyes, his costume is murkily tatty and his dancing has a blend of exuberance and creepiness which makes him a joy to watch. James Streeter is the first Mouse King I've seen that Clara should be afraid of. The Nutcracker himself is a little more unsettling than I've seen in the past: the painted mask Farmer gives him for a face is slightly uncanny, and when he swaps places with Drosselmeyer's Nephew there's a hint of the disorientation that we feel in our own dreams. The dances in the puppet theatre are bright and harmless enough, but they're done with a brio and pace which stops them slipping back into saccharine. My sister's Facebook status the next morning read "Hope I'm never too old for The Nutcracker", and artists like Eagling and Farmer work hard to make sure the show grows along with us. That's worth a bit of gratitude, and a ticket or two.
1 That is a verb, actually. I'm told they do it in Cambridge, and I've never wished to investigate further.

(Reuters) – Oscar winner Sandra Bullock is Hollywood's highest paid actress with estimated earnings of $51 million over 12 months, followed by Jennifer Lawrence and Jennifer Aniston, Forbes magazine said on Monday.
Bullock, 50, had a big hit last year with the space thriller film "Gravity," which won seven Academy Awards including best director for Alfonso Cuaron, and made more than $716 million worldwide.
The best actress Oscar winner in 2010 for "The Blind Side," Bullock jumped from seventh place on the previous Forbes earnings list to the top spot between June 2013 and June 2014.
"'Gravity' star Sandra Bullock didn't win best actress this year but she did walk away with a ton of money," according to Forbes.com.
"Hunger Games" actress Lawrence, 23, came in second for the second consecutive year with estimated earnings of $34 million, while Aniston, 45, climbed one spot to No. 3 with $31 million.
Forbes compiled the list by estimating earnings from the actresses' film work, endorsements, residuals and advertising work, and by talking to agents, managers and lawyers.
Gwyneth Paltrow, 41, who made an estimated $19 million, and Angelina Jolie, with $18 million, rounded out the top five. Jolie, 39, dropped from No. 1 last year.
Scarlett Johansson, the 29-year-old star of the sci-fi action thriller "Lucy," came in seventh with $17 million, and "Twilight" star Kristen Stewart, 24, fell from No. 3 last year to 10th place with earnings of $12 million.
Although all of the actresses pulled in hefty incomes, Forbes said women still earn less then men in Hollywood. While the 10 highest earning actors took home a combined total of $419 million, Hollywood's 10 best paid actresses made a total of $226 million during the same time period.

Here we go. For me, Smashing Pumpkins' 1993 second album Siamese Dream is the big one. This album soundtracked my youth, and every song is tinged with the flavour of memories passed, nostalgia and the weight of literally thousands of listens. It was inevitable that one day it was going to be reissued in one form or another, as is the custom, but I'm not exactly sure if I ever expected to be actually reviewing this behemoth.
The songs themselves still sound fantastic. The drum-roll flourish that welcomes us on 'Cherub Rock'. 'Today's signature, unforgettable lead. The heartfelt lyrics of 'Disarm' and the haunting mellotron of 'Spaceboy'. The creamy, layered tone that it feels that you can just sink into. Double-album follow-up Mellon Collie and The Infinite Sadness is often praised for its imagination and scope, but Siamese Dream is a diverse, complex, more concise album crammed with moments of joy and wonder.
Although it's gotten to the point where it'd be unthinkable to release a reissue like this without remastering the recordings, if there's any album out there that didn't need a second more spent on it in the studio, it's this one. The idea that the reported year-and-a-half of 16 hour days were somehow not enough to create a satisfactory production will make Pumpkins fans and the more lo-fi or financially-minded of us splutter in disbelief. The glassy, muscular layering of Siamese Dream has dated well, and still has the same punch it did upon release. Perhaps the remaster makes it all seem a little crisper, a little more dynamic, but I'm honestly struggling to tell the difference, and undoubtedly the casual listener will do too.
There's no doubt that at the time of Siamese Dream the Pumpkins were at a staggeringly creative point of their career, I mean, this is a band who once released a 23 minute medley of amazing riffs that they just didn't have anything else to do with. But even their cupboards, previously stocked with the all kinds of sweet and curious fare, must be looking pretty bare by now. The extra tracks are dominated by alternative takes of songs released either on the album itself or b-sides and outtakes collection Pisces Iscariot. The few apparently unreleased tracks are jammy, underproduced and of limited interest.
Although this is a fantastic looking package, it really doesn't strike me as a particularly essential addition to the Smashing Pumpkins canon. While past special editions have become coveted artefacts like The Aeroplane Flies High or completist's dreams such as Rarities and B-Sides, this Deluxe Edition looks destined to be little more than a shortlived holiday moneyspinner. My past reaction to such repackaged classics would have been to shrug and to say 'It's a great album, if more people get to hear it thanks to this reissue then fair enough'. But I think it's fair to say that it's doubtful that anyone who hasn't heard Siamese Dream already is likely to discover it by buying a physical copy.
This isn't a disappointing listen. The album itself is as glorious as ever, and if you have somehow never heard it before I urge you to check it out at your earliest convenience. However, this particular reissue has little beyond the original work to enamour itself with. I would give the music a ten every time, but this Deluxe Edition only serves to cheapen the legacy of a truly great piece of music history.

The Polly Cooper Shawl or How One Bit of Research for One Meme Morphed Into a Second Meme
During the search I saw the name Polly Cooper on a list of Revolutionary War women and I was intrigued. I interrupted Dear Hubby's television viewing by saying, "Hey, did you know you had a relative who did something important during the Revolutionary War?"
"Ummmm…really! How do you know?"
So I clicked on through and the research for my Thursday Thirteen suddenly became a picture for Wordless Wednesday. The whole story just tickled my fancy. It's not well known, and it is also on the periphery of one of the lowest moments of the American Revolution.
Valley Forge.
Last week my students learned about General Washington's winter quarters outside of British held Philadelphia. We discussed the three D's of the pitiful conditions at Valley Forge----desertion, disease, and death. Though General Washington begged Congress for needed supplies they had no money. Sources indicate George Washington called the conditions at times "a little less than famine." Another source states Washington conceded, "If the army does not get help soon, in all liklihood it will disband." By February, the weather was a little better and by March, Nathanel Greene was appointed head of the Commissary Department. Some food began to reach the soldiers camped at Valley Forge, and of course, the military began to receive training from Baron Von Steuben.
So what does a shawl have to do with Valley Forge? Was it used by a soldier's wife to cover the sick, the dying, or the dead? Was it something one of Washington's officers used to tie about his waist….a present from a lovesick girl back home?
The shawl was a present, but not from a girl back home. The shawl was presented to Polly Cooper, an Oneida woman, and it was presented by Martha Washington or a group of Valley Forge officer's wives depending on the source you view.
The Oneida nation headed by Chief Oskanondohna (Skenandoah) at the time had heard of the plight of the Patriot soldiers at Valley Forge. The tribes had long been successful traders and farmers and were one of the few tribes that allied themselves with the Americans. Many fought at various battles for the cause of independence. At Chief Oskanondohna's (Skenandoah's) urging some tribe members began to walk the 400 mile journey to Valley Forge carrying close to 600 bushels of dried corn. The soldiers of course were starving, and if they had eaten the corn without the proper preparation the corn could have swelled in their stomachs and caused them to die. Polly Cooper was one of the Oneida women who journeyed to Valley Forge and stayed in order to cook the corn properly for the soldiers and to help in other ways.
From an account by William Honyost Rockwell (1870-1960), an Oneida leader and descendant of Polly Cooper
So the wives of the officers invited Polly Cooper to take a walk downtown with them. As they were looking in the store windows, Polly saw a black shawl on display that she thought was the best article. When the women returned to their homes, they told their husbands what Polly saw that she liked so well. Money was appropriated by congress for the purpose of the shawl, and it was given to Polly Cooper for her services as a cook for the officers of the continental Army. The shawl is still owned by members of the Oneida Nation, descendants of Polly Cooper.
So, where is the shawl exactly? An article from CNY Business Journal (1994) explains that a Key Bank branch holds the shawl for its owner, Louella Derrick, in a safety deposit box when it isn't on display.
The CNY article goes on to mention three mysteries remain about the gift of the shawl. The first mystery surrounds a missing bonnet. Apparently there was also a bonnet bought along with the shawl, however, family members do not know its whereabouts. The second mystery involves the shawl's fabric. The CNY article makes note that the shawl is 62 inches on a side and is in fine condition. People who have been able to feel it state the fabric is similar to silk or fine horsehair, but it is neither. A team of Syracuse University anthropologists tried and failed to determine what it is. The third mystery involves how much the shawl is worth. The shawl's owner states, "We know it's valuable, but we don't know how valuable."
The Oneida Nation site states the shawl is one of the oldest relics of the Oneida people. The site goes on to say of the shawl:
It also symbolizes the relationship between the Oneidas and the United States. In times past, any agreement of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) was accompanied by a gift; usually it was wampum but it might be an animal skin or textile also. The gift was tied to the words of the message and the object underlined the truth and importance of the words. so it is with the shawl. As memorial to the American acknowledgment of Oneida help and sacrifice, the Polly cooper Shawl testifies to a pact of the Revolutionary War in the traditional Haudenosaunee way.
So, why don't more of us know about this story? One website gives this possible explanation:
From The Oneida Indians of Wisconsin:
The contributions of the Oneida in early U.S. history have been largely ignored in history books, possibly because much of the history of the Revolutionary War was compiled in the 1830s at a time when the Indian nations were being "resettled" under the barbaric Indian Removal Act. Giving them credit for help with the Revolutionary War was not politically expedient
Today the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian has the entire fourth floor set aside for the Oneida Indian Nation. One of the main features of the exhibit is the statue "Allies in War, Partners in Peace", which depicts George Washington, Polly Cooper, and Chief Oskanondohna and commemorates the bonds between the Oneida Nation and the United States. The statue details and the symbolism used within the entire piece and is absolutely amazing. This page at The Oneida Nation gives more detail about the statue and the many icons found within it. For example, the wampum belt that George Washington is holding symbolizes an agreement between the U.S. and the Oneida Nation, and acknowledges that neither will interfere in the internal affairs of the other.
Go here for a 7 minute movie from The Oneida Nation about Polly Cooper.

Great Blog. I wish I would have stumbled upon this sooner.
I too am a Georgia, history teacher. I have a blog and a site dedicated to finding lesson plans for american history.
I have added you to my link list. I would appreciate if you could do the same.
I'm looking forward to coming back.

wow what an amazing story, and so unknown. Thanks for sharing it.

This was outstanding!
I shall visit the Oneida Nation exhibit at the NMAI with new eyes and probably add this to my repetoire of stories for my students. It will particularly come in handy during my New York State tour in April.
I would like to use some quotations from the Polly Cooper story. May I obtain the author's name of this article?
- EHT said...
The websites and articles I quoted are linked directly in the piece. For the remainder of my article you may cite it as you would a regular webpage or article and the author's name would be elementaryhistoryteacher, of course.
If you need to contact me you may reach me directly at email@example.com
Just thought that I would let you know that my fifth grade daughter came across this site will studying the role of Native Americans in the Revolutionary War and was thrilled. My daughter's name? Why, Polly Cooper, of course
- EHT said...
Wow, that's great. I hope it helped her a little. That's ironic about her name. Maybe you are related to my husband since our last name is Cooper as well!
WOW, have been resarching Polly Cooper with my son for a paper for school and this is one of the best sites we have seen! Thanks!
hey i my son just copied your paper an got an A. thanks!

If you are going to teach history, please teach history. If you are going to teach folklore, identify it as such.
When I first heard this story, I telephoned Valley Forge and asked the historians there about Polly Cooper. They said there is no evidence to support the Oneida tribe's oral history about this person. Among other things, the Oneidas claim (http://www.oneidaindiannation.com/culture/shako/exhibits/27015199.html) that Polly Cooper moved freely between British and colonial battle lines dispensing water to soldiers on both sides. There were no battle lines at Valley Forge, so she would have had to walk a very long way.
The Polly Cooper story is a myth. Myths can be instructive, but they should not be taught history unless there is tangible evidence to support it (not just the existence of a self-promoting statue paid for by the Oneida tribe's casino money).
I will be interested to revisit this site and see whether you have posted my comment.
- EHT said...
Now why on earth would you think I wouldn't post your comment? Since I did link to the Oneida Indian Nation website I'm fully aware there are non-Native written sources that cannot confirm the Polly Cooper story, however……they cannot deny it either. As stated in the article the Oneida nation has up at their site, "However, we do know that an Oneida woman called Polly Cooper by English speakers was alive during the Revolution and did serve again as a cook in the American cause during the War of 1812."
I'm well versed in the difference between historical myth and facts backed by numerous sources. Please check my left sidebar for the topic historical myths…..one of my favorite myths that has as many for it as against it is the George Washington "So help me God" question.
I see no problem using the Polly Cooper story as a sidebar to the American Revolution using the Oneida Nation website and the website for The National Museum of the American Indian as sources for students to use.
I'm not really sure where you get the idea I wouldn't divulge to students that within the field of historiography there appears to be holes in the story that cannot be confirmed or denied. I feel this is a valid situation to use with students, so that they understand there are many who don't always agree with the historical record that is put forth by various groups.
Situations that cannot be confirmed or denied should always be identified as such to students. Seems like that would be the perfect opportunity for them to put on their detective hats and analyze the situation for themselves.
Thanks for visiting and your comment is very welcome!

I know I'm late to this party... researching with my kiddo about Polly Cooper for a school paper...
Suzgalbraith said this:
"not just the existence of a self-promoting statue paid for by the Oneida tribe's casino money"
I don't really understand this comment.
1) How can the poster possibly know what the motivations are for a memorial statue? Really? it is an established fact that the sole or primary motivation for the statue is self-promotion?
2) Casino money? Even if that is true, how does the funding for a memorial project today speak to the veracity of an account from the Revolutionary time period? What exactly is this argument supposed to mean? An oral account from a couple hundred years ago is a myth because today some Oneida committee got their funding from a tribe casino?
I guess this is just cynical sarcasm and dismissal, but it doesn't prove a case in my view.
I am related to Polly cooper and it is so coll reading about her.

Both of the above audiences are driven by money and will be looking for efficiency and professionalism
I would like the logo to be IMI either alone or somehow incorporating International Media Invest. It is important that the logo works well on business cards as these are an important marketing tool for me. I'm happy to discuss business card design with a designer that produces the logo I chose.
I'm young and I'm looking for a modern look. I'm thinking perhaps simple black, white and grey with a splash of colour such as orange (but open to suggestions!)
I don't want any stock images or clipart in the logo, nor any cheesy film related pictures such as film reels or cameras.
Remember my requirement to appeal to both film companies and investors.

Obama reopens government, seeks restart of agenda
- President Obama signs bill to reopen the government after 16-day shutdown
- Obama to speak Thursday on agenda moving forward
- On the agenda%3A Restoring trust%2C avoiding another shutdown in three months
Having signed a bill to reopen the government, President Obama seeks Thursday to restart his legislative agenda.
The president delivers a mid-morning speech to urge Congress to take up legislation on jobs, immigration and farm policy, while federal agencies that have been shuttered for 17 days begin resuming operations.
"I've got some thoughts about how we can move forward in the remainder of the year and stay focused on the job at hand, because there is a lot of work ahead of us," Obama said during brief remarks Wednesday night at the White House.
Also on the agenda: Avoiding another shutdown in three months.
The agreement that the Senate and House approved Wednesday night funds the government only through Jan. 15. In the interim, Obama's team and Congress will try to negotiate a longer-term spending plan.
The shutdown deal also averted the risk of a debt default by extending the government's borrowing authority until at least Feb. 7, though that deadline could be pushed back if the government utilizes special measures.
Still, another debt ceiling dispute is in the offing in four months.
The White House announced early Thursday that Obama had signed the bill to end the partial shutdown of government services.
When the shutdown began Oct. 1, the lapse in government funding caused the furloughs of some 800,000 government workers. That number fell to 350,000 after Congress agreed to let Pentagon employees return to work.
The shutdown did not affect a litany of essential services, from delivery of mail to Social Security checks.
The new funding agreement restarts all federal agencies and services, from the World War II Memorial — the closure of which inspired protests by conservatives — to the "panda-cam" at the National Zoo.
National parks and weather services will reopen across the country, as well as large swaths of the Environmental Protection Agency, the Interior Department, and NASA. The deal also includes back pay for furloughed workers.
Sylvia Mathews Burwell, director of the Office of Management and Budget, sent guidance to federal agencies early Wednesday about restarting operations "in a prompt and orderly manner."
In his remarks at the White House, Obama said the short-term agenda includes "our need to earn back the trust of the American people that has been lost over the last few weeks," during an intense political dispute over the shutdown and the debt ceiling.
Lawmakers can start "by addressing the real issues" that Americans care about, Obama said, citing jobs, immigration, the economy, a farm bill, and the size of the federal debt as prominent examples.
Obama said he is willing to work with anybody — "Democrat or Republican, House or Senate members" — on ideas to "grow our economy, create new jobs, strengthen the middle class, and get our fiscal house in order for the long term."
That includes upcoming efforts on the debt ceiling and new spending plans to avoid future government shutdowns.
"Hopefully, next time, it won't be in the 11th hour," Obama said. "One of the things that I said throughout this process is we've got to get out of the habit of governing by crisis."
As the president exited the White House press room, a reporter asked: "Isn't this going to happen all over again in a few months?"
Obama turned and replied: "No."

The mirror of the Herschel telescope has now been assembled with the payload and service module, completing the spacecraft structure - an important milestone in the days following through to launch. The sunshield and solar arrays were assembled with the cryostat and service module on 11 April. The telescope was assembled on 16 April. The spacecraft will be subjected to several mechanical tests over the next few weeks.
The telescope mirror of the Herschel infrared observatory is a 3.5-m diameter technological marvel. It is made from 12 silicon-carbide petals brazed together to form a single structure and coated with a layer of reflective aluminium, forming a remarkably lightweight mirror.
The fully-assembled telescope, which includes the primary mirror, the secondary mirror and its support structure, is a feathery 320 kg; remarkably low for such a sturdy structure capable of withstanding high launch loads and functioning precisely in the harsh environment of space.
This powerful telescope will allow scientists to look deep into space, at long infrared wavelengths. Herschel's spectral coverage, which ranges from far-infrared to sub-millimetre wavelengths, will be made available for space-based observations for the first time.

Does Justin Bobby still have feelings for Audrina Patridge?
On a clip from Tuesday's episode of "The Hills," Audrina's furry ex downplayed his budding relationship with Kristin Cavallari.

"We've hung out, I cooked for her — basically that's the gist of it," he told Audrina in the clip, despite his on-camera kiss with Kristin in an episode earlier this month.
Instead, Justin Bobby showed signs of wanting to reconcile with Audrina.

"A big part of me will always have feelings for you and always be that guy towards you," he said. "I would never be able to say anything was better than Audrina Patridge, ever in my life."
But not so fast — in a separate interview with MTV, Justin Bobby said things were moving forward quickly with Kristin.
"I think me and Kristin [evolved] a lot quicker than Audrina and I did," he said. "Surprisingly. We didn't expect it."

He also explained the differences between the two ladies in his life.
"[Kristin's] got the fiery blood in her," he said. "I think Audrina's… not so outspoken, kind of keeps to herself."

Dec 31 (Reuters) - National Hockey League (NHL) officials and locked out players returned to the bargaining table in New York on Monday with the union presenting a counteroffer to the league's latest proposal for solving their bitter labour dispute.
The NHL is expected to respond to the union offer on Tuesday as both sides bid to end a dispute which has already wiped out more than half the season.
"Their response was a comprehensive one, dealing with the full slate of issues that we raised in the proposals we put forth," NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman told reporters.
"We're in the process of reviewing their response. We will do that tonight and our expectation is that we will contact them morning to arrange to get back together."
Bettman also confirmed the "puck needs to drop" by Jan. 19 for the NHL to play a 48-game schedule this season.
NHL Players' Association executive director Donald Fehr declined to discuss details of the union's counteroffer, saying it covered a range of subjects included in the NHL proposal.
"The purpose of (Monday's) discussions was for us to respond (to the NHL proposal) and for them to ask a couple of questions and for us to explain a number of the points we made," Fehr said.
The bargaining session was the first since Dec. 13.
NHL officials want a 10-year agreement and their latest proposal was reported to include extending the limit of player contracts to six years from their previous offer of five.
They were also prepared to adjust yearly salary variance to 10 per cent from five per cent and permit one buyout for each team before the 2013-14 season that would not count against the team's salary cap.
Players have been locked out since mid-September and the league has cancelled games through Jan. 14, more than 50 percent of the regular season which was scheduled to start in October.
At stake is how to divide $3.3 billion in annual revenue the league generates. (Reporting by Gene Cherry in Salvo, North Carolina, Editing by Nick Mulvenney)

Local repository
This document outlines one way to share Arch Linux packages across a LAN. A better way to do this would be to create a Custom local repository with ABS and gensync and make the repository available across the LAN using NFS or FTP. This document should be edited to describe this process in detail. For the time being, the original HOWTO is left intact below:
To share all your downloaded packages in your lan Pros save bandwidth, diskspace and time.
pacman -Sy
Will sync against our local repository;
pacman -S pkgname
Try to download and install pkg from localserver if pkg not exist it download from the next server in the list /etc/pacman.conf and save pkg on localserver;
Will update localserver db against ftp.archlinux.org.
Ex. for my network
serverip=192.168.14.3 network=192.168.14.0/255.255.255.0
Adjust to yours.
On the Server Side
Create an NFS share on the server to host the packages.
- Install NFS:
pacman -S nfs-utils
- Add this line to /etc/exports:
/var/cache/pacman/pkg 192.168.14.0/255.255.255.0(rw,no_root_squash)
- Add rpcbind, nfs-common and nfs-server to DAEMONS in /etc/rc.conf.
- Start the NFS daemons:
# rc.d start rpcbind nfs-common nfs-server
On all clients
- Rename /var/cache/pacman/pkg to /var/cache/pacman/pkgorg.
- Create a new /var/cache/pacman/pkg and mount the nfs share there.
- Run:
mount -o rw,nolock 192.168.14.3:/var/cache/pacman/pkg /var/cache/pacman/pkg
- If the mount from command line does not work add this option:
- Or, if you want it automount after the reboot, add this line in /etc/fstab:
192.168.14.3:/var/cache/pacman/pkg /var/cache/pacman/pkg nfs rw,nolock
- Again, if the mount does not work, try to add mount option nfsvers=3 to the fstab entry.
- Run:
mount -a
- Run:
To check mount.
- Move all your already fetched pkg from your clients:
/var/cache/pacman/pkgorg to /var/cache/pacman/pkg
- Edit /etc/pacman.conf and add this lines directly after the line:
{current} Server = file:///var/cache/pacman/pkg
and after
{extra} Server = file:///var/cache/pacman/pkg
I have skipped the step 3 because for me it works as i want already. I sync from each PC and all share the pacman cache.
To sync your local repository v.s. archlinux.org
- "alsync" connects, login, and update your packages database on the local nfsserver
pacman -S openssl pacman -S wget
- create a file called /bin/alsync and put in this lines
cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg wget -N ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/current/.db. wget -N ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/extra/.db.
- chmod 777 /bin/alsync
copy this file to your clients
- to try run as root on first client
alsync pacman -Sy pacman -S new-pkgname
- move to next client and run
pacman -Sy pacman -S new-pkgname

As the More is More Mom®, I'm all about……..watching more family videos! Okay, last month when Amanda and I zipped over to the UPS Store to drop off some of our family videos, I had no idea that I would fall head over heals in love with my family all over again! I snagged 10 video tapes from when the kids were little for this grand experiment, and now I am so sorry I didn't send in every, single last one. The whole process was so simple; using the iMemories program through the UPS Store, I was able to convert our various and obsolete 8mm and VHS tapes into fabulous digital media.
If you are interested, you can read all about our experience dropping off our tapes last month, by visiting my earlier post:
Otherwise, I can bring you up to date right here, right now.
The whole process was really easy. After I searched every nook and cranny in our home, I found our family videos in their various incarnations. To give the iMemories program a try, Amanda and I chose 10 videos to convert into digital media. Then, we stopped off at our friendly, local UPS Store at 2206 N. Main St, Wheaton, IL. While there, owner Sunny Patel helped me package up my videos and send them on their merry way to the iMemories factory.
Shortly thereafter, I received an email that changed my life; it was from the nice people at iMemories providing me with a link to view all of our videos. After dinner, I poured Chuck and myself a glass of wine, scooped a bowl full of ice cream for Amanda and we huddled around the computer like folks used to sit around listening to the radio!
Nick and Amanda were adorable and Chuck and I looked so young! We watched as they learned to walk and talk and become the people they are today; Nick rollerblading in our driveway and Amanda cart wheeling in the front yard. After several evenings, we finally made it through all of the videos.
What was amazing to me was not only being able to watch the videos, but also having the ability to manipulate and edit them. I was totally anxious to give it a try, so Amanda and I decided to create a Christmas compilation DVD. It was sooo easy. All we had to do was drop in each clip, in order, frame by frame, and the video was complete.
Last night, our UPS man made his way to our front door, despite Wrigley's incessant barking. I couldn't rip the package open fast enough! Inside, there it was; the Holy Grail of family memories.
We are so in love with our video! After she finished her homework, Amanda started uploading all of the family videos we have on our computer to our iMemories account. I am planning to drop off the remainder of our videos this week, and in no time at all, we'll finally have every last memory preserved as digital media. I can't wait!!!

A great dealership to buy a vehicle from with great people who take care of your needs and concerns. Thank you for your hospitality and great service!
From the moment I arrived and was greeted by my initial contact, Bryan Bauer, I was treated like visiting royalty. My sales professional, Kiara Campos, was very personable and polite, and answered all my questions. Chris Collyer, in financing, was simply amazing because he quickly and confidentially found the best possible financier just for me. I would highly recommend Greenville Hyundai, not only will they graciously find the perfect car for you, they will also give any one the best experience of your life finding that car too. Thank you very much for all of your effort Greenville Hyundai and for making my car dreams come true!
Kacey, is reliable and honest and definitely takes the time to understand your needs to get you the best deal for your family and you!
Just want to thank kiara campos for her outstanding customer service skills was so delighted to meet her and have her walk me through the steps into getting into my new vehicle... will highly recommend her to anyone who is looking into purchasing new vehicle and also at the same time get the best customer service !!
Kiara Campos went up and beyond to help me and get me into my new car. I was in a total loss but she made my experience better! I will be buying more cars from her soon!
Kiara was super helpful in purchasing my car. She made sure that we 100% understood all of the paper work involved. Would definitely recommend her to anyone coming in to purchase a vehicle
Kiara is awesome - she will go above and beyond for you!! She will work hard to get the best deal for you - come see her!!
Needed to upgrade my car and was very weary of going to the dealership...luckily Kiara Campos was there to help me through the whole process and made my experience become a positive one. She is a very knowledgeable salesperson and made sure that everything that I wanted in a car was what I was getting. Even after leaving with my brand new car she told me I could call her if I ever had a problem with the car and she would not hesitate to help me. I will definitely buy another car from her in the future.
She made my whole experience simple and easy. I loved the way that she took care of me not just not but after the point of sale I will recommend everyone to her she is the total best!
Kiara Campos is so amazing she helped me figure out which car was the best for me. Very friendly and knows what she's talking about
I am a first time buyer. Did not know exactly how the process goes. Kiara Campos was amazing! Took the time to explain me every single step, the options I had, etc! She was confident and knew her staff! I'm really grateful! She was a big help and made the experience enjoyable and stress free. I got a car between my budget and I love it! Keep up the good work! I highly recommend Greenville Hyundai!
I had a great help by Kiara, she answered all my question and made sure I wasn't confused about anything. She was really great! She explains everything so detailed and she makes you feel so good about the car you're trying to purchase. She also suggests whats best for you! She really is trying to help you out. 10/10 recommend.
So overall i was just looking ror a new car and browsing. Kiara made it pretty easy. Very helpful and curteous even though i told her i was just looking. I'd recommend her for someone who doesbt make you feel pressured to buy.
Made my 1st time car purchase, stress free. Kiara Campos is very knowledgeable in what she does. Explains everything step by step. I will definitely recommend you seeing Kiara Campos for your car purchase, you will definitely get taken care off!
Kiara made the process for searching and purchasing a car so easy!! She was so helpful in answering all the questions I had, and step by step explained the entire buying process. I was so happy with my purchase, and I love the choice we made! Thank you Kiara, I will be recommending you to all my friends and family the next time they have to purchase a car!
I went in expecting to purchase a used vehicle. I didn't even want to consider a new vehicle thinking it was out of my price range. Kiara Campos took the time to give me all of my options and was never pushy. I ended up getting a brand new car that I LOVE and can afford. She even took the time to make sure I knew how everything worked and was set up properly as far as connecting the blue tooth with my phone ect. I highly recommend Greenville Hyundai.
So, the time came for me to upgrade the wife into a newer vehicle. She wanted another Trailblazer, only newer and with more options. We found one she was interested in at Greenville Hyundai, and our sales person was Kiara, who we absolutely loved. I honestly feel like she was more excited about my wife's new vehicle than we were. We had very specific requirements that had to be met before we would even consider the purchase. Kiara went above and beyond, jumping through hoops left and right to ensure that each one were met and that we not only left with the vehicle we came to purchase, but more importantly, that we left happy and confident that we chose the right place to purchase. It's been about 4 months, and my wife and I couldn't be happier that we chose to shop at Greenville Hyundai. I can only hope when it's time for me to purchase a new truck, they will have what I want, because I dont want to deal with any sales person other than Kiara. I highly recommend anyone looking to purchase a new or used vehicle to go see her! Thanks to everyone over there, y'all are amazing!
Very good service! Have bought several cars from Kiara and I can't wait to get my next one! Her professionalism is second to none!
Kiara was a very helpful person when I went to go ask for a trade in of my vehicle. It's like I only had to describe her what I actually was looking for because she showed me the best options to choose from! She is very understanding and tries to help out any kind of way possible I would clearly recommend my friends and family with her!
Kiara was really great! She went above and beyond and helped me find what I was looking for! She answered all my questions! Overall I had a great experience with buying my car and will definitely be going back soon!
I was just looking to buy a SUV that would hold all of my Grandkids. Justin Miller was able to answer all my questions about the different suv's that would meet my needs. He was very knowledgeable about the products that they had & I didn't feel pressured to buy that day. I will be back to purchase my suv from him when I'm ready.
Justin made this process relatively quick and painless. We had an ample amount of information available to us in order to help us make an informed decision. We would be more than happy to recommend both Justin and Greenville Hyundai to our family and friends.
If you're wanting a new or used Hyundai I highly recommended going to see Justin. Genuine guy who's more than fair when it comes to making a deal with you! Great experience!
Justin Miller takes great care of his customers through the buying process and answers all questions even after the deal is done. He is up to date on the technical electronic features offered these days and was a great help explaining those features. I will definitely buy from him again!!!
Thanks Justin Miller for the great customer service. I will definitely choose Justin and Greenville Hyundai for my next purchase. I know I'll get the best deal.
Justin Miller is an honest young man with a great personality. He will give you the best deal possible and you will make a new friend. I highly recommend you letting Justin help you with your next car purchase.
Justin Miller is a very friendly & knowledgeable young man. He is very determined to find the right vehicle to fit your needs and your budget.
Justin is genuine and sweet. Try's to help out the best way possible. Would highly recommend to go see him and let him help with your next purchase!
Justin offered me a great deal that I could not pass up. Before the day was over, I ended up buying two cars. He is kind and informative. I would recommend him to anyone!
I showed up to Greenville Hyundai one afternoon just wanting to get a look at the used F-150 I had been checking out online. I was hoping to get an up close look at the truck without being hassled by any pesky salesman. I parked close to the vehicle and jumped out to quickly survey the rig for any obvious flaws that might influence my purchase decision. As I was under the truck, laying on my back in the parking lot, inspecting the undercarriage for leaks or any underlying problems that might arise after driving off the lot, I saw a nice pair of black dress shoes headed my way from the showroom building. Being the "self-help" man that I am, this was exactly what I had hoped to avoid. I don't even need assistance when I go to Home Depot or Lowe's on the weekends. I was approached by salesman, Justin Miller. I promptly gave him the "just looking" response. He was kind enough to give me my space while scanning the vehicle. I gave the driver side door handle a try and sure enough, it was locked. I looked over at Justin who had been patiently watching me do my thing, and to my surprise he had brought the keys out with him. He unlocked the truck and let me inspect the interior. He then asked me if I had any questions, and to my surprise I had a few. Justin was able to answer them without hesitation. Long story short, the gentleman was very helpful and knowledgeable, not only about the vehicle in question but also very knowledgeable about the rest of the trucks in the used inventory. Justin made the credit application quick and painless. I was overall pleased with my experience here because unlike most dealerships that I had been to, I felt no pressure to buy and I felt like Justin related to me on a personal level. I would recommend Justin and his staff to anyone looking for a vehicle, new or used. He makes the process effortless and brings the excitement back to purchasing a new vehicle.
Came in just to have a look around the lot with the help of Justin Miller. Although I was only browsing, he was exceedinly professional and truly courteous.
Justin helped me find a new car and made the process seamless with no hiccups. I appreciated the hard work and willingness to get me into what I WANTED and not what the dealership wanted.
Justin Miller was very nice and sweet and helped me with exactly what I was looking for! 10/10 Perfect!! Could not have been a better experience!
Justin Miller was very polite and professional and I'd highly recommend this dealership . Had a great experience and ended up coming home with a reliable car the very same day. He even helped negotiate a very affordable price for me and my family !!
Justin Miller was our sales rep at Hyundai Greenville TX. He was great to work with on the purchase of our new car. This the second car we have bought from this dealership. They are all great people to work with. I especially appreciated Justin giving us plenty of time to make this major decision and answer all our questions. I highly recommend him and this dealership.
Very friendly service. Excellent knowledge about the cars and features. This is the second car we have purchased from this dealership. Overall an enjoyable experience..
Justin has made a new customer for life!! He went above and beyond to meet our needs. He was very kind and patient with us and that is something that's hard to find in a car salesman. By the end of our transaction we not only bought a truck but we made a friend. We would highly recommend this young man to anyone!!!
Justin was great! He helped me find what I was looking for, answered all my questions and worked with us on getting my monthly payment to where I needed it to be. Glen was great as well! He was nice and very efficient. Both were competent in their jobs. Overall we had a good experience with buying my car and will definitely go back.
Tyler and Rebecca worked WITH me to get our price down to something we wanted and could afford. They didn't stop fighting FOR me and made sure our 3 year old felt welcome the whole time too. I got everything I wanted, needed, and more! Great group of REAL people to work with.
We had the pleasure of buying a 2014 Mercedes-Benz c300 from this dealership! Rebecca Conner made our buying experience amazing. She was very attentive during the process and has actually reach out to me several times after purchasing just to make sure all is well! She goes above and beyond for her customers!!!
My Tucson Sport is my third Hyundai purchase...Can you tell I believe in their products?? Rebecca Conner is the most patient person on the planet and worked with me to find the perfect automobile. It wasn't a simple task I assure you...I changed my mind numerous times to the point of being completely embarrassed. However, she hung in there with me until I sat in my new Tucson Sport and knew it was a perfect choice.. I can honestly say that three colleagues wanted to ride in my car the next morning. I think they're also hooked!! Thank you, Rebecca, for your patience. You're a rock star!
I don't even know where to begin with this horrible dealership. We were sent an email quote of 20,475 and charged 26,000+. We didn't even find out until I looked at the financing information. Do your homework and AVOID THIS DEALERSHIP! To add insult to injury, getting anyone to call us back or get any documents has been next to impossible. Crooks at worst, sneaky at best. Avoid.
Frank Bhatti was very patience and helpful, went the extra mile to answer our questions and help us make a decision in choosing the right car for us (suv)

We tried to buy a Hyundai Palisade from them. They did have the car we wanted and in the colors we wanted. The Sales Rep Jake was excellent but that was where it ended. The finance person we worked with, Michael Hernandez, first claimed they did not offer the Hyundai direct financing, and that we had to take another offer. Then he insisted we take the extended warranty for $3250 or else he would add it to the price of the car. What is this all about? Needless to say, we did not do business with them, nor will we ever. I made the GM, Bryan Hall, aware of these practices, and he apologized. However, they had our second car key for the vehicle we were going to trade, and he said he would send them back to us. I have asked twice for our car key to be returned, It is now over 3 weeks, and we still do not have our car key. Consequently, we found the car we wanted at another dealer, got the Hyundai direct financing, and had an exceptional experience.
We went to buy our first new car in years and Tracey came out to help us. She didn't do the "used car salesman" pitch - she was honest and open and actually trying to make our experience as positive as possible. She took the time to ask what we wanted, not just tell me what the dealership had. We walked away with a new car we truly enjoyed and a friend for life! I'd send anyone I know to Tracey in full confidence that they would get the same respect and courtesy she provided us. I trust her implicitly!

It's so fun to see my work pop up in places, many times as a surprise to me. Yesterday I found that my Anni quilt was included on a post on pink inspiration on the Stitch Craft Create blog earlier this week.
And sometimes I know that she's going to be seen somewhere.
Anni will be included of the inaugural issue of Quilty Magazine! I'm so excited about this publication, and you can imagine how thrilled I was when Mary Fons, the brainchild behind both the Quilty show and the brand new Quilty Magazine, asked to include my Anni quilt. And you won't believe how amazing she looks in the magazine, not to mention the incredibly kind words Mary had to say about her! I've seen the final proofs and they are striking. Seriously, seriously striking. I just pre-ordered a couple of copies, and you can too by visiting the Fons and Porter shop site here. Quilty will ship May 15, and I can't wait to see Anni and all of the other great work in it!

Do you know what the capital of Alaska is? Do you know? It is Juneau of course! At least, that was how I was prompted to remember the Alaskan capital when I was in grade school learning the capitals of all 50 states.
The ms Zaandam arrived in Juneau today. There were a lot of historical sites to choose from on the shore excursion list. Of course, we did none of them. My wife looked at the list months ago when we were planning our intenary and she really wanted to take the whale watching trip. I agreed and we had a good time spotting several different types of whales. (And I would rather not recount the history of the Alaskan whaling community...)
History of Juneau
The History of Juneau gives a short summary of the city history. It notes, "The area was a fish camp for the indigenous Tlingit Indians. In 1880, nearly 20 years before the gold rushes to the Klondike and Nome, Joe Juneau and Richard Harris were lead to Gold Creek by Chief Kowee of the Auk Tribe. They found mother lode deposits upstream, staked their mining claims, and developed a 160 acre incorporated city they called Harrisburg, which brought many prospectors to the area. The state capital was transferred from Sitka to Juneau in 1906 while Alaska was a U.S. Territory. The Treadwell and Ready Bullion mines across the channel on Douglas Island became world-scale mines, operating from 1882 to 1917. In 1916, the Alaska-Juneau gold mine was built on the mainland, and became the largest operation of its kind in the world. In 1917, a cave-in and flood closed the Treadwell mine on Douglas. It produced $66 million in gold in its 35 years of operation. Fishing, canneries, transportation and trading services, and a sawmill contributed to Juneau's growth through the early 1900s. Mining declined by the 1930s, and the A-J Mine closed in 1944 when it was declared a nonessential wartime activity. The A-J produced over $80 million in gold."
The original name of the city was Harrisburg. However, locals objected to this name as the locality grew as so many other places in America were named this. The town name was changed to honor the local US navy Commander Charles Rockwell. Rockwell became the new name. In 1881, Joe Juneau was complaining that nothing in the district had been named for him and the name was again changed this time to Juneau which it remains today. (The Tlingit name of the city is Dzántik'i Héeni "flounder creek.")
Juneau is not located centrally in the state. It is far removed from Anchorage and Fairbanks. This has prompted several attempts to move the capital elsewhere. In 1954, a measure was passed to move the capital north in order to locate it closer to the territorial population center. This plan stalled and Juneau remained the capital. In the 1970s, plans were made to move the capital to a site near Willow, a town north of Anchorage. However, these plans never went very far either.
Miland in Juneau
As mentioned, my wife and I participated in a whale watching tour. We saw a variety of humpback whales (some rather close) as well as eagles, seals, and sea lions. I also was surprised to get a dose of history on the tour.
The boat we were on passed by Admiralty Island. This huge island has the world's highest density of brown bears in the world averaging one bear per square mile. It is also the site of Point Retreat. On a voyage looking for the Northwest Passage, Captain George Vancouver was sailing by Admiralty Island in the eighteenth century. He spotted native war canoes and beat a retreat to what is now Retreat Point. His hiding spot worked and he (and his crew) survived.
We also saw Vanderbilt Reef. This is the site of the 1918 sinking of the Princess Sophia. The ship ran aground. Help arrived but the captain waived off the help assuming that the rising tide would free the ship. Instead, it broke in two and sank. All 343 people on the ship died.
After the whale watching, we went into Juneau and went up the tramway to Mount Roberts. It gave us a good view of the city and the port with five cruise ships in dock. These tourist ships probably explain the tackiness and high prices of the tourist trap district in Juneau right off the dock. I was not impressed. However, I did enjoy the Red Dog Saloon. This old bar was a favorite of miners in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The miners used to drink their fill on payday and then leave a dollar pinned on the wall with their name on it so they would have money to drink with later. Many of these dollars remain on the walls. This was a nice bar and well worth visiting!
Tomorrow we will be in Glacier Bay and that will be the focus of my next post.

Im in love with my new skeleton cut out shoulder t-shirt that I got from Topshop a few days ago. Not only is it the cheapest thing I've bought from Topshop in years (£14!!) its just super cute and perfect for the summer. Despite the fact Im still trying to fight the fact all I seem to wear is grey, white and black, I'm trying to branch out into patterns... even if they white and grey ones! I just paired it with a plain skater and my much loved Primark jacket! I preferred it un-tucked to the way it looked tucked into the skirt for some reason, I just think it looked a bit nicer! I've re-listed my pleated pleather skirt as the person who bid on it didn't pay, I knew £40 was too good to be true! Any bids with 0 feedback will be removed as I actually do want to get rid of it, so no time wasters please! And to clarify (as I've been asked alot!), I have two, the one Im selling is a size 12 which is too big for me! I will in time be adding more stuff to my ebay, so I'll make sure I keep you all posted (:

If you adjust your buyer requirements on eBay you can block people who are unlikely to pay (if they don't have a PayPal linked to their account or if they have unpaid item strikes) and it can save so much hassle :)ReplyDelete
I love this top, we have the black one in the branch where I work so I hope they get this one in too!ReplyDelete
