What Our Customers Say?
Absolutely great at what they do! Helpful advice regarding the various available options from the start, while always taking my budget into consideration. Very friendly and professional at all times. I definitely wouldn't need to recommend anyone else!
I chose this company firstly because they offered me a good quote for a big job. Very friendly and helpful in dealing with my telephone enquiry from the beginning. Fitted double glazed windows in all 4 rooms of my grandmother's house within 3 days, in a very professional and understanding manner. The windows are great quality and absolutely worth the money, job has been complete to a very high standard.
They told me a serviceman would arrive within 30mins as mentioned to me on both website and over the phone, but he arrived even quicker! The locksmith fixed my faulty back door lock without having to replace it. They even cut me a spare key on the spot! If I ever happen to need a locksmith again, I definitely have one to call. Would definitely pass on my recommendations!
My house key broke inside the lock on my front door as I turned it. They arrived within 30mins and said that this was due to both key and lock being quite old, they recommended a whole new lock which I am now very happy with, much more secure AND looks great. A great service, polite and professional assistance at all times.
For weeks I tried to repair a leak coming from the base of my toilet with fillers, duct tape, you name it, I tried it! It was only until after the job was finished that I realised I had been wasting my time! Plumber was very courteous and polite. Along with arriving precisely on time, the job was finished on the same day! I wish I had called them sooner!
Provided an exceptionally professional and well mannered service. Work was finished on the same day and the serviceman was very efficient. I would strongly recommend them.

[SOLVED] What am I doing wrong? (multiple compilation errors)
Hi, I am on a fresh 5.5 install fully patched and I got to be doing something wrong because I just can't use ports on a reliable way. It always fail at some package.
I was trying to install Firefox as my first package and, while installing db the post-install process failed because of a "file not found" error. Ok, got to be something wrong with the port itself, lets install the binary. Then it goes to another package (I forgot, I am sorry and by the way where can I find the compilation logs?) and it fails because the system run out of my virtual memory. During llvm compilation basically the same error ('unable to allocate memory"). All of the errors I "fixed" by installing the binary package. And now, finally, on Firefox I get this:

Hi again.
From the fragment you've posted, all we are able to see is that the compiler clang has failed with a segmentation fault while compiling firefox. I certainly don't have enough information from this fragment to tell you why.
To install firefox on your amd64 -release system, you need only:
# export PKG_PATH=http://<your.nearest.mirror>/pub/OpenBSD/5.5/packages/amd64/ # pkg_add firefox
To create a console log, use script(1). The saved file can be filtered through col(1) with the -b option, then edited for copy/paste here.
$ script Script started, output file is typescript $ <command> $ <command> $ <command> $ exit Script done, output file is typescript $ col -b < typescript > my.log

pkg_add works fine but well I am a former Gentoo user, I like to compile stuff from source. Even knowing the binary packages works fine it is a problem that still bothers me, don't the errors I am getting (unable to allocate memory, out of virtual memory) means there is something wrong with my system?
There's nothing wrong with your system. You're attempting to compile one of the larger ports, and I'll guess that you're doing so as a user with limited resources. Let's examine your /etc/login.conf file.
For amd64, the default class has:
default:\ :path=/usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/X11R6/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin:\ :umask=022:\ :datasize-max=512M:\ :datasize-cur=512M:\ :maxproc-max=256:\ :maxproc-cur=128:\ :openfiles-cur=512:\ :stacksize-cur=4M:\ :localcipher=blowfish,6:\ :ypcipher=old:\ :tc=auth-defaults:\ :tc=auth-ftp-defaults:
staff:\ :datasize-cur=512M:\ :datasize-max=infinity:\ :maxproc-max=512:\ :maxproc-cur=128:\ :ignorenologin:\ :requirehome@:\ :tc=default:
Check your userid's class and your shell's ulimit -a (for bourne-based shells) or limit (for C-based shells).
Last edited by jggimi; 18th May 2014 at 01:34 PM. Reason: typo, clarity
$ ulimit -d 524288 $ ulimit -d 1048576 $ cd /usr/ports/www/mozilla-firefox && make install-all
I like this better than messing with /etc/login.conf because you'll only raise limits if and when you need them, and it's impossible to make any subtle mistakes in that file.
The relevant man page here is ksh(1) and grep for ulimit. I'd highly suggest you learn it first on the default shell before moving on to other shells.
I am part of the staff class and I was running the port as root with sudo (even root is limited?) And what exactly does "cur" size stands for? English is not my native language and I am failing to grasp its meaning. Well, I think it would be better to stick to binary packages then.
You can adjust the current limitation in your shell, up to the maximum of the class, as shown in ibara's example.
But really, it's better to do it via your shell.
Of course root is/can be limited. I also think your understanding of sudo is limited...
Sticking to binaries packages is overwhelmingly recommended on releases. There's no difference between what you get from the default ports build and packages and attempts to "tweak" ports will garner you no help. And people will probably laugh at you when you don't understand why something is broken.
TL;DR: We do all the hard work for you for a reason. Hard work is hard and the vast majority of people don't understand it sufficiently.
Oh, so sudo works like a non-login shell (I.know it is not a exact comparation but I don't know how to word that better)? And from now I will stick to binary packages
This is the last time I'm going to do this. You're running OpenBSD, you have the man(1) command. Use it:
Last edited by ibara; 18th May 2014 at 02:44 PM. Reason: sudo is in section 8
Thanks and sorry man. I will mark the thread as solved.
Section 15.3.3 discusses the general rule of ports tree preparation such that ports can be compiled as a regular user. I will even add that setting the SUDO variable to the following in mk.conf(5):
SUDO=/usr/bin/sudo -E
...but to reiterate, unless there is a specific reason to do so, -release users have few reasons to compile from the ports tree. Use packages instead.

Let $H$ be a semisimple Hopf algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Further, let $K\subseteq H$ be a normal Hopf subalgebra. As we all know, $H$ then can be reconstructed from $K$ by some compatible data [1].
I want to know if there exists a similar result on Rep($H$) and Rep($K$), where Rep($H$) is the fusion category of finite-dimensional representations of $H$? If not, what can be said about Rep($H$) and Rep($K$)?
Thank you!

Projects Abroad Launches Global Shark Campaign
Launched in 18 countries across four continents this month, the Projects Abroad Global Shark Campaign comprises a worldwide awareness and action movement centered on the plight of sharks.
More than 100 million sharks are killed every year by the greatest predator on earth – man. Sharks are used for their fins, flesh, cartilage, liver oil, skin and even their jaws and teeth. The international fishing industry and negative media are driving sharks towards extinction. If sharks are to survive globally, they need all the help they can get.
The campaign aims to spread the word about the threats to and misconceptions about sharks to as many people as possible across the globe. Projects Abroad volunteers as well as any other individuals or groups who are interested are supplied with shark-related educational resources to bring the issue to the attention of everyone from members of fishing communities to school students. A petition to ban the sale of shark fins (which hopes to garner in excess of 20 000 signatures) also forms a cornerstone of the campaign.
A key part of the project, Projects Abroad's hands-on Shark Conservation Project in Fiji involves dive certification, tagging of baby sharks, shark identification and shark count surveys. Volunteers also work on shark finning issues, marine park and shark protected zoning, local education programs, mangrove reforestation work and a shark nursery habitat project.

No. 7 Xavier Musketeers (17-13, 9-7)
Coach: Chris Mack (fourth season)
RPI/KenPom: 78/80
A-10 Tournament Championships: 4 (1998, 2002, 2004, 2006)
All time vs. VCU: series tied 2-2
This season: VCU 75, Xavier 71 (Feb. 23 – Cincinnati, Ohio)
Player to watch: Semaj Christon, Fr., Guard (15.4 ppg, 4.7 apg)
The rundown: Should the Rams draw the Musketeers in Friday's quarterfinals, Christon would likely play a critical role in the outcome of the game. The last time these two teams met, the A-10 Rookie of the Year committed 10 turnovers against VCU's Havoc full-court press. Yes, 10.
The first meeting between these two was a tale of two halves. Xavier shot an incredible 74 percent (14-of-19) in the first half and took a 39-26 lead into the lockerroom. The Musketeers extended their margin to as much as 17 points with 18:57 left before the Rams started knocking down shots and the press began wearing Xavier down. In all, VCU turned Xavier over 22 times in the game, which the Rams converted into 23 points.

City, county target blighted homes for demolition
Abandoned buildings havens for crime
The city and county are working together to tear down 800 blighted homes in the next year.
"It really is the blighting, non-contributing structures that are bringing down neighborhoods, becoming havens for crime," said vice mayor Roxanne Qualls.
Some of the money being used to demolish the abandoned structures came from a settlement with mortgage companies over the practice known as "robosigning."
"These houses have to go away," said Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine. "It's the way to take that cancer, and cut that cancer out of our neighborhoods."
Neighbors are pleased to see the homes go.
"I can't remember if it was last summer or the summer before that it got set on fire," said Denise Phipps, of Price Hill, talking about an abandoned home in her neighborhood.
Even though it's taken several years to remove the blighted structures, neighbors realize it will take even longer to rebuild the neighborhood.
"Only time will tell," Phipps said. "It depends on the community and how everybody else reacts to it."

Carl's Jr.®
CKE Restaurants, Inc. Offers Aid to Hurricane Katrina Victims
Sep 14, 2005
Programs Aiding Employees and Survivors Underway
CARPINTERIA, Calif. -- Sept. 14, 2005 -- In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Americans have been saddened to see the destruction to the Gulf Coast region. CKE Restaurants, Inc. president and CEO Andrew Puzder and his corporate team extend their sympathy to everyone affected by the disaster.
"People across the nation have been affected directly and indirectly by the havoc wrought by Hurricane Katrina. We feel a strong corporate responsibility to not only aid our own employees in this time of great need but to extend a hand to as many of the victims of this disaster as we can," Puzder said. "CKE and its Carl's Jr.(R), Hardee's(R) and La Salsa(R) brands are committed to providing aid to those affected by the hurricane."
To assist the efforts of the American Red Cross, CKE Restaurants, Inc. has initiated fund-raising efforts in all of its restaurants. Carl's Jr. and La Salsa restaurants began accepting donations to support victims of the hurricane on September 8. Participating Hardee's restaurants will begin the same program this week. Guests who donate $1 toward relief efforts receive a sticker reading, "I Supported Hurricane Relief Today." 100 percent of every dollar donated will go directly to the American Red Cross to further their relief efforts.
The Independent Hardee's Franchisee Association (IHFA) has established a hurricane relief fund to assist Gulf Coast area franchisee restaurant employees whose lives have been devastated in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Proceeds from this fund will be used solely to help individual Hardee's franchisee employees meet basic needs including housing, food, and other essentials. CKE Restaurants, Inc. has made a contribution to the fund.
"The fund will not be used to rebuild or repair damaged Hardee's restaurants in the affected area," said Lee Staak, IHFA president.

Go from beach bum to total babe in carefree and whimsical ZAFUL boho dresses! Bohemian style dresses have taken our hearts by storm with their endearing loose fits and nature-loving designs. When going boho, almost all the rules go out the window. The style is meant to be personalized! However if you'd like to ask the experts how to dress bohemian, you've come to the right place. See our style guide below!
The defining details of boho-wear are found in the patterns and fits; everything exudes a lackadaisical feel. While individual pieces can be pronounced boho at one glance, an entire outfit can't be called so unless the accessories play-up the boho feel. Start out your collection with a short boho dress or two. A boho midi dress, like a lo-hi style, can be worn with chunky ankle boots and a flower crown. A boho mini dress could be accessorized with a belt, kimono, and chunky necklace. Become one with the sand belts in a bohemian beach dress, which can be accessorized nicely with a long crochet cover up. A bohemian wrap dress is another good style to be worn with ankle boots and rope bracelets.
However, the longer and more flowy the dress, the more bohemian you will become. When it comes to the bohemian maxi dress, the more simple the design, the better it will serve as a base for many outfits. If you like the bohemian look but you don't like to over-accessorize, you can get a more complete style with fewer pieces by wearing a long sleeve boho maxi dress. The added sleeve length will balance-out the lack of accessorizing. Wear the boho maxi dress with sleeves with some lightweight tie up sandals for a good look. These styles can get along in a closet with plus size bohemian dresses, as they are comfortable for curvacious bodies. Find the perfect fit in our collection of plus size bohemian maxi dresses. If more coverage isn't your thing, forego the long sleeve boho dress and instead consider the off the shoulder boho dress.
While boho style is most known for colorful looks, it can also be taken down a notch in neutral tones. White is an especially good hue as a white bohemian dress can be paired with pinks for an ultra-soft look. A white lace boho dress worn with a lace choker is especially doll-like. A lace boho dress is a good staple to start with. The bohemian lace dress is designed to not be too formal or bridal-looking, but rather have a baby doll, childish type fit. The black boho dress is another good look if worn correctly. Wear your black bohemian dress with complementary boots, statement accessories, and flower crowns.

this seems to be the summer of great limited release films. the hurt locker was yet another good one, and probably one of the most suspenseful films i've seen in years. my only complaint with it would probably be in terms of structure. there is not really any real discernible plot but rather more of a series of instances that relate to the audience the incredible horrors our trio of heroes have to go through on a daily basis. those instances are amazingly well paced but still, because of this, and like so many films nowadays, the hurt locker sorta loses some of its luster around its third act. as it starts to delve more into the mind of will james, (who truthfully, felt like more of an interesting character when he was simply a hothead with a death wish) i felt as if i was suddenly forced to focus on the less interesting inner workings of his character rather than the aspects of what ALL of the characters are going through.
still none of this takes a away from the intelligent and i can only assume fairly accurate depiction of what it must be like to be stationed in iraq. the film neither glamorizes or reprimands war. it just shows us, through the eyes of three bomb squad soldiers, a pretty scary part of the world right now and what it takes to get the job done. for better or worse.

In 2013 a number of galleries, restaurants, and retailers in the Culver City Arts District worked with the city to establish a proper designation as an "arts district"- the first landmark being a series of banners running the length of Washington from Helms Bakery to I-10. The first event that we all planned (thanks to Josetta at Fresh Paint for starting this off!) was the first annual Summer Solstice Art Walk, which presented over twenty-five live bands at creative venues in the area across the day. That evening, our gallery was host to musical guests Adrian Bourgeois, Kevin Dippold, and Emmett Skyy, as well as a performance by Thomas Negovan. Jason Louv of the website Ultraculture joined us to speak about the summer solstice and shared a unique perspective on the pressing importance of creative imagination. Most exciting was Shawn Borri's demonstration of Edison's wax cylinder recording, a process invented by Thomas Edison in the 1880s and the very first recording medium in history.
The presence of songwriters from this moment in time paired with a process dating back to the first moments in recording history was a very special experience to witness- and somewhat cathartic to celebrate given today's digitally preoccupied musical culture. Emmett Skyy has the voice of an angel, like Marvin Gaye in his prime; Kevin Dippold complimented him with an earthy vibe that reminded me of California music from the late 70s. Adrian Bourgeois writes smart pop masterpieces that makes me think of Elvis Costello and Paul McCartney, and listening to Thomas Negovan is like nesting in comforting, mystical poetry. All in all, this was a fantastic night at the gallery and overflowing with wonderful talent and camaraderie.

Jarrod Lyle remembered at public memorial service
Long-time friends, family, golfing peers, fans and Victorian premier Daniel Andrews have paid tribute to Australian golfer Jarrod Lyle who died last month.
Around 500 people turned out for the service at the Sands Golf Club in Torquay.
Lyle's longtime friend and Australian counterpart Robert Allenby addressed the crowd, fondly remembering the man who endured three rounds of cancer treatment.
Allenby first met Lyle more than 20 years ago when the then 16-year-old was diagnosed with cancer for the first time, with the pair quickly grew close.
Allenby referred to his mate as "the most-loved golfer" he knew.

We know the Layton series is a moneymaker -- the first four DS games have shipped over 11 million units globally. Nonetheless, every time one of the games hits a milestone, I feel like throwing a party.
Just this morning, Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino tweeted that the original game, Curious Village, had crossed one million copies sold in Japan alone. Time to break out the good vintage.
There was no reason for me to post this other than that Layton is a badass. I apologize for nothing.

Human abdomen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. Please improve this article by introducing more precise citations where appropriate. (October 2008)
The human abdomen (also called the belly or midriff) is the part of the body between the pelvis and the thorax. Anatomically, the abdomen stretches from the thorax at the thoracic diaphragm to the pelvis at the pelvic brim. The pelvic brim stretches from the lumbosacral angle (the intervertebral disk between L5 and S1) to the pubic symphysis and is the edge of the pelvic inlet. The space above this inlet and under the thoracic diaphragm is termed the abdominal cavity. The boundary of the abdominal cavity is the abdominal wall in the front and the peritoneal surface at the rear.
Functionally, the human abdomen is where most of the alimentary tract is placed and so most of the absorption and digestion of food occurs here. The alimentary tract in the abdomen consists of the lower esophagus, the stomach, the duodenum, the jejunum, ileum, the cecum and the appendix, the ascending, transverse and descending colons, the sigmoid colon and the rectum. Other vital organs inside the abdomen include the liver, the kidneys, the pancreas and the spleen.
The abdominal wall is split into the posterior (back), lateral (sides) and anterior (front) walls.
Muscles of the abdominal wall
|Origin and insertion
|The obliquus externus (external oblique) muscle is the outermost muscle covering the side of the abdomen. It is broad, flat, and irregularly quadrilateral.
|It originates on the lower eight ribs, and then curves down and forward towards its insertion on the outer anterior crest of the ilium and (via the sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle) the midline linea alba.
|The obliquus internus (internal oblique) muscle is triangularly shaped and is smaller and thinner than the external oblique muscle that overlies it.
|It originates from Poupart's ligament/inguinal ligament and the inner anterior crest of the ilium. The lower two-thirds of it insert, in common with fibers of the external oblique and the underlying transversus abdominis, into the linea alba. The upper third inserts into the lower six ribs.
|The transversus abdominis muscle is flat and triangular, with its fibers running horizontally. It lies between the internal oblique and the underlying transversalis fascia.
|It originates from Poupart's ligament, the inner lip of the ilium, the lumbar fascia and the inner surface of the cartilages of the six lower ribs. It inserts into the linea alba behind the rectus abdominis.
|The rectus abdominis muscles are long and flat. The muscle is crossed by three tendinous intersections called the linae transversae. The rectus abdominis is enclosed in a thick sheath formed, as described above, by fibers from each of the three muscles of the lateral abdominal wall.
|They originate at the pubic bone, run up the abdomen on either side of the linea alba, and insert into the cartilages of the fifth, sixth, and seventh ribs.
|The pyramidalis muscle is small and triangular. It is located in the lower abdomen in front of the rectus abdominis.
|It originates at the pubic bone and is inserted into the linea alba half way up to the umbilicus.
The major muscles of the abdominal wall can be remembered using the mnemonic, "TIRE" for Transversus abdominis, Internal abdominal oblique, Rectus abdominis and External abdominal oblique.[1]
Abdominal organs
The abdomen contains most of the tubelike organs of the digestive tract, as well as several solid organs. Hollow abdominal organs include the stomach, the small intestine, and the colon with its attached appendix. Organs such as the liver, its attached gallbladder, and the pancreas function in close association with the digestive tract and communicate with it via ducts. The spleen, kidneys, and adrenal glands also lie within the abdomen, along with many blood vessels including the aorta and inferior vena cava. Anatomists may consider the urinary bladder, uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries as either abdominal organs or as pelvic organs. Finally, the abdomen contains an extensive membrane called the peritoneum. A fold of peritoneum may completely cover certain organs, whereas it may cover only one side of organs that usually lie closer to the abdominal wall. Anatomists call the latter type of organs retroperitoneal.
Surface landmarks of the anterior abdomen
In the mid-line a slight furrow extends from the ensiform cartilage/xiphoid process above to the symphysis pubis below, representing the linea alba in the abdominal wall. At about its midpoint sits the umbilicus or navel. On each side of it the broad recti muscles stand out in muscular people. The outline of these muscles is interrupted by three or more transverse depressions indicating the lineae transversae. There is usually one about the ensiform cartilage, one at the umbilicus, and one between. It is the combination of the linea alba and the linea transversae which form the abdominal "six-pack" sought after by many people.
The upper lateral limit of the abdomen is the subcostal margin formed by the cartilages of the false ribs (8, 9, 10) joining one another. The lower lateral limit is the anterior crest of the ilium and Poupart's ligament, which runs from the anterior superior spine of the ilium to the spine of the pubis. These lower limits are marked by visible grooves. Just above the pubic spines on either side are the external abdominal rings, which are openings in the muscular wall of the abdomen through which the spermatic cord emerges in the male, and through which an inguinal hernia may rupture.
One method by which the location of the abdominal contents can be appreciated is to draw three horizontal and two vertical lines.
Horizontal lines
- The highest of the former is the transpyloric line of C. Addison, which is situated half-way between the suprasternal notch and the top of the symphysis pubis, and often cuts the pyloric opening of the stomach an inch to the right of the mid-line. The hilum of each kidney is a little below it, while its left end approximately touches the lower limit of the spleen. It corresponds to the first lumbar vertebra behind.
- The second line is the subcostal line, drawn from the lowest point of the subcostal arch (tenth rib). It corresponds to the upper part of the third lumbar vertebra, and it is an inch or so above the umbilicus. It indicates roughly the transverse colon, the lower ends of the kidneys, and the upper limit of the transverse (3rd) part of the duodenum.
- The third line is called the intertubercular line, and runs across between the two rough tubercles, which can be felt on the outer lip of the crest of the ilium about two and a half inches (60 mm) from the anterior superior spine. This line corresponds to the body of the fifth lumbar vertebra, and passes through or just above the ileo-caecal valve, where the small intestine joins the large.
Vertical lines
The two vertical or mid-Poupart lines are drawn from the point midway between the anterior superior spine and the pubic symphysis on each side, vertically upward to the costal margin.
- The right one is the most valuable, as the ileo-caecal valve is situated where it cuts the intertubercular line. The orifice of the vermiform appendix lies an inch lower, at McBurney's point. In its upper part, the vertical line meets the transpyloric line at the lower margin of the ribs, usually the ninth, and here the gallbladder is situated.
- The left mid-Poupart line corresponds in its upper three-quarters to the inner edge of the descending colon.
The right subcostal margin corresponds to the lower limit of the liver, while the right nipple is about half an inch above the upper limit of this viscus.
Regions of the abdomen
9-region scheme
These three horizontal and two vertical lines divide the abdomen into nine "regions." (Note that "hypo" means "below" and "epi" means "above", while "chond" means "cartilage" (in this case, the cartilage of the rib) and "gast" means stomach. The reversal of "left" and "right" is intentional, because the anatomical designations reflect the position on the patient. )
|right hypochondriac/hypochondrium
|left hypochondriac/hypochondrium
|right lumbar/flank/latus/lateral
|left lumbar/flank/lateral
|right inguinal/iliac
|left inguinal/iliac
4-region scheme
Another way of dividing the abdomen is by using 4 quadrants:
|right upper quadrant (RUQ)
|left upper quadrant (LUQ)
|right lower quadrant (RLQ)
|left lower quadrant (LLQ)

Choosing a Facebook profile picture is a bit of an art. You want to, obviously, pick a photo that you look good in; but at the same time, you want to -- or at least should -- pick something appropriate in case anyone other than your closest friends, you know, sees it. That photo of you with a tie knotted around your head, double-fisting gin and tonics? Not a good look.
So, in the spirit of trying to keep it classy on everyone's favorite social network, here are 5 Facebook photos that should never be your profile picture.
The bathing suit shot. We get it, you're proud of your bikini (or swim trunks) bod -- as you should be. You look good. But it's probably a better idea to tuck that photo somewhere in the depths of an album rather than make it the star shot.
The iPhone in the bathroom mirror shot. You may have caught the most perfect photo of yourself whilst alone in your bathroom, where the lighting is just right, but please. Don't make this picture -- also known as "the MySpace shot" -- your profile. For whatever reason, something about being alone in the bathroom and taking pics of yourself seems a little strange.
More from The Stir: 10 Surefire Ways to Be That Obnoxious Facebook Friend
The wasted shot. For obvious reasons. Your boss probably won't think this is cute.
The super old shot. Cheater, cheater, pumpkin-eater. Come on, show us a picture of what you look like now. You might be older, but you're still gorg, dollface.
The cropped shot. The photo of you and 80 of your friends can't be the only picture you look good in. A photo that's been cropped, zoomed in, and "enhanced" via iPhoto is obvious. And, just sayin', it says that you went to a lot of work to get the "perfect profile picture." If you like the way you look so much in the pic, why not just keep everyone in it with you?

On June 18th Laurence Freeman OSB met with His Holiness the Dalai Lama in Manchester UK. They spoke about the dialogue they will share during the next WCCM Pilgrimage to India in January 2013. They also discussed plans for a new series of Way of Peace events which they will co-lead. See HERE some photos of the meeting and HERE a video message of the Dalai Lama to the World Community with a spacial word of encouragement to younger meditators.
You seem to have a very warm friendship with the Dalai Lama and he speaks of you warmly as his friend and spiritual brother. How did this friendship develop? When was your first meeting?
Laurence Freeman: I first met the Dalai Lama in Montreal in 1980, when John Main invited him to visit our new community there after an interfaith service in the Cathedral. I was an early professed monk at that time. The Dalai Lama visited us for midday prayer and meditation followed by lunch. Fr. John had a very positive conversation with him and as he was leaving presented him with a copy of the Rule of St Benedict. The Dalai Lama I think was very impressed and interested by the idea of Christians meditating and teaching meditation from their own tradition. In his book Towards the True Kinship of Faiths he describes this meeting and how moved he was by it. He and Fr. John certainly met at a deep personal level.
Some year later, after Fr. John died, I invited his Holiness to lead the John Main Seminar. He accepted in respect of this friendship. Then he asked "What would you like to me speak about? I was slightly taken aback and thought quickly and then said "Would you be willing to comment on the Gospel from your Buddhist tradition?" The Dalai Lama pondered a bit then smiled and replied: "I don't know a lot about the Gospels but yes, let's try it." It was a sign both of his commitment to deep dialogue - seeing from the other's point of view and letting go of attachment to one's own - but also of his personal courage and self-confidence.
And that was the beginning of The Good Heart Seminar of 1994. The book of that title has become something of a classic on inter religious dialogue. The Dalai Lama often says this is one of his favourite books, because he has so many letters from Christians around the world saying that his commentaries on the Gospel have helped them to reconnect with their own tradition.
How did the idea for The Way of Peace arise?
LF: During the Good Heart Seminar we decided to extend the dialogue into "The Way of Peace" in which we would explore different forms of dialogue based in meditation. This was a three year program, beginning with a pilgrimage. His Holiness invited us to Bodhgaya, where the Buddha was enlightened. We had several days of dialogue on the meanings of salvation aan enlightenment and we began every day meditating under the bodhi tree, Christians and Buddhists together in a beautiful serene way. He was especially welcoming and it was a wonderful experience. He gave us a beautiful thanka painted at his request by Tibetan monks depicting the Birth of Jesus. This is in our meditation room at our centre in London where we meditate every day.
The second phase of The Way of Peace was a retreat in one of our monasteries in Italy. During it we had more times of meditation together but also some stimulating dialogue sessions on the relationship between images, silence and meditation.
The third phase was the John Main Seminar in 2000, held in Belfast. We wanted to show that if a Buddhist and a Christian monk could be friends then surely Catholics and Protestants could achieve friendship as well.We believed that the friendship that arises from deep dialogue can became a force for healing the wounds of division between people - even very deep, complex and ancient wounds.
I remember one beautiful moment during that seminar in N. Ireland when we went together into a room to meet a group of victims of violence from both sides. The mood was very tense and unfriendly; there was a very cold atmosphere as we walked in. The Dalai Lama immediately registered the emotional mood, skipped the formal introductions and went straight into dialogue beginning by telling his own story and his attitude towards the people who had occupied his country. By the end of the session, the mood had change dramatically and there was a wonderful spirit of self-discovery and openness to each other. It was actually in that meeting that he met Richard Moore , who he admired very much as an example of the human capacity for forgiveness. So over the years, and especially through these dialogues, my respect and very warm affection for the Dalai Lama have grown and deepened and enriched me.
Tell us about your last meeting in the UK…
LF: Recently I met him during his visit to the UK. We caught up with each other's news and then we discussed further dialogues on the horizon.
The first of these will be the dialogue that we will hold in India, in Sarnath, where the Buddha made the first turning of the wheel of Dharma. That will be January in 2013. It will take place during our WCCM pilgrimage to India.
We also discussed a new Way of Peace series that will focus on the contemporary issues and problems that have come to the foreground of modern life in recent years, especially our contemporary crisis, since the first Way of Peace. So we will announce more information about that 3-year programme soon.
Today, what does the Dalai Lama represent for you?
LF: The Dalai Lama has been an inspiration to me. I would even say a Christ-like figure. He has dealt with great personal loss and suffering. And he has become a human being with boundless compassion and also infectious joy. He teaches by example as well as by words. He can communicate with everyone in simple, informal ways from his own direct experience, without having to use jargon or complex ideas. So he is a wonderful witness I think to every human being on the planet of the human capacity to rise above our isolation and even our worst suffering. He reminds people of the full capacity of human consciousness. In my dialogues with him I have been always struck by the fact that the similarities and the differences in our experience and in our approaches are equally important. This coincides with the Dalai Lama's opinion, that we must never underestimate the importance of the differences that are highlighted in the course of dialogue.
My own feeling is that there is a paradox here. We enter into the deepest sympathy and even deepest union of experience through the differences even more than through our similarities. So the Dalai Lama has enriched my Christian faith in a surprising and creative way. He has also spoken about how his respect for and sympathy for the Christian tradition and Christian faith has been enriched by the contact that he had with our Community and of course with many other Christian groups. I have no doubt, strange though it may sound, that he has enhanced and deepened my Christian faith.
So its always a great joy to meet with him. It refreshes my optimism for the work of our own community - The World Community for Christian Meditation - especially our recently launched Meditatio outreach which is bringing the spiritual fruits of meditation to the secular world - which is also deepening the much needed spiritual renewal of the Church. I travel a lot as the Dalai Lama does too. Sometimes our paths cross and that is a great happiness; but even in the times between our meetings I feel very connected to him as a fellow monk, a meditator and, as simply as that very rare phenomenon - a peaceful, joyful and normal human being!
l and our community look forward very much to the January meeting in Sarnath and the next Way of Peace and we keep His Holiness and his extraordinary work for the contemporary world in our prayer always.

One of my favorite customers requested a tutorial on how to make these little notepads that I often include in my Etsy packages. I know there are lots of versions found online, but I would love to share mine with all of you.
Supplies needed:
A: 1 12" X 12" sheet of scrapbook paper
B: several sheets of copy paper--any color you like
C: something to cut the paper: straight edge and rotary cutter; scissors;or guillotine cutter
D: stapler
E: corner rounder punch (optional)
Step 1:
Cut the 12X12 sheet of scrapbook paper into strips that are 6" X 2.25"
Cut the copy paper into strips that measure 2.5" X 2"
Step2: OPTIONAL
Round all the corners, using the punch, of the 6"X 2.25" strips of scrapbook paper.
Step 3:
Turn in and crease 3/4" of the cover (scrapbook strip), forming a flap.
Step 4:
Insert 12-15 sheets of the 2.5" X 2" copy paper under the flap and staple securely.
Step 5:
Fold up the opposite end of the cover strip and tuck it under the flap, enclosing the copy paper sheets, then crease.
Step 6: VERY OPTIONAL
Using a small design punch (in my case~~a paw print punch), embellish the larger flap.
I have also seen, and made a few, where buttons or other little trinkets are glued over the staple to hide it.
I need to find some Christmas scrapbook paper that I like to make more to ship with my Christmas collars!
Hope you have fun trying this latest project!

It would be nice to be able to sort music using "artist sort", "album sort", "album artist sort", etc. tags, when defined. It's pretty neat to have artists ordered as <surname, forename> while still being displayed as <forename surname>. I also use them to ignore "the" and equivalents in other languages, and sort artists based on their transliterated name when needed.
Groove Music supports it surprisingly, I think it's the only feature I miss after having switched to foobar.

Did Defective Road Contribute To Tragic Car Crash In Bithlo/Christmas?
Many of us here in Winter Park — and especially those of us who are parents of recent and current Winter Park High School students — were shocked and saddened to learn of a tragic car accident that happened a couple of nights ago out in the Bithlo/ Christmas area. The one-car crash killed Thomas Stutts and Justin Vail, and injured Omokolap Hunpatin, after the SUV they were traveling in left the roadway of Fort Christmas Road, crashed through a fence, and into a tree. The coverage that I saw was from the good folks at WESH.com (who I think always do a great job on local reporting.) As an attorney who has handled car accident and wrongful death cases for a long time, a couple of things struck me about the story. First, I was shocked at the destruction to the SUV that these young men had been driving in. I was, frankly, surprised that anyone could have survived this crash. I was not surprised to hear from the Florida Highway Patrol that speed may have been a factor in the crash. However, my interest really perked up when the WESH reporter started interviewing neighbors, who reported that horrible accidents (many of them involving fatalities) happen along that seemingly quiet road all the time. Video captured for the story showed multiple crosses and other memorials laid out beside Fort Christmas Road where other fatal crashes have presumably occurred. Normally, a governmental entity cannot be held responsible for planning-level decisions — such the decision to build a road, or where the road will travel, or where to put a stop sign. However, when it becomes apparent that something about the design of the road contains some kind of defect or makes for a dangerous condition, then a governmental entity can be held responsible for damages for personal injuries or wrongful death. When I hear about multiple deaths on the same stretch of road over a period of time, I start to wonder whether we have a defective road. I become suspicious that perhaps the County, or State, or whichever entity built that road, could have done more to make it safer – like perhaps installed barriers on the edge of the roadway, or speed humps, or some other similar seemingly simple remedy that might have saved these young men's precious lives.

Saturday morning entertainment
Relay for Life Yard sale at Town and Country
Real Estate in Hopkinsville, KY
Usually I enjoy sleeping late on my day off, but this morning, I got up early so I could go to some Saturday morning yard sales with Keely and my friend Lisa. I picked up Keely at 7:15 AM, and we stopped at a convenience store to get coffee and Whistlestop donuts (breakfast) on our way to pick up Lisa.
Last night, I studied yard sale ads in the newspaper, looked up the addresses I didn't know, and planned a route. We went to most of the sales that were advertised and added a few that we found along the way. Keely and I estimate that we went to about 25 sales in 4 hours.
My rewards for getting up early were a metal rooster doorstop, a set of 10 Bible storybooks (the same set that I read as a child), 3 pairs of brand-new jeans for Dennis ($2 per pair!), and a nice hexagonal mirror I'm going to hang in the bathroom. Keely bought a fiber optic lamp, a set of fairy figurines, and a mushroom-shaped cookie jar. Lisa bought a CB radio and a set of ping-pong paddles.
Most of Hopkinsville's yard sales start at 6 AM and end at noon. We saw one lady packing up her sale at 11:00 AM! I'm not sure why Hopkinsville is fond of such an early schedule. In other towns, yard sales commonly stay open until mid-afternoon.
Next weekend (Thursday through Sunday, June 4-7) is the 400 Mile Sale along Kentucky Highway 68. Dozens of sales will be held in and around Hopkinsville, and many more will be set up along 68/80 through Christian County and beyond.
I read that the Senior Center is renting 400 Mile Sale spaces for $30 each -- in their big multi-purpose room, I suppose. I think that might be a good sale to check. My theory: When people have to pack up their stuff and haul it to the sale, they leave the junk at home and only bring the good stuff.

Puppy on Zonbu
I searched through all the forums here but found few entries about the new Zonbu PC (which can be bought for only $249 USD without a subscription to any services)
See these entries for more info:
But what really caught my eye is that some people are taking notice of how fast Puppy is on this hardware:
I myself am tempted to buy one myself. I could also be convinced to throw some money into the pot to buy a unit for Barry.
Thoughts anyone? [/url]

Post subject: over-powered
Considering that Puppy runs well in 300 mhz , 128 MB RAM machine, Zonbu is "over-powered" for Puppy.
This means that given Zonbu's specifications, it will have superb performance when running Puppy Linux.
I guess this is the biggest argument for a user to be weaned from Win-boxes: high computing performance while enjoying zero malware. And Puppy is fun to tweak to your wishes.

Looking at the machine specs and information, I see what I consider some serious red flags. To start with, it does not have a built in cd/dvd drive, you have to purchase it separately. Second, it comes prepackaged with its own Zonbu OS. This is why you only pay $249, as they expect you to use thier OS and its associated subscription service (which is meant for the same purpose for which I presently use a 40Gb external drive).
However, just for argument, I am going to write them and ask what thier device would cost with the optional external cd/dvd device and solar panel sans the subscription service.....

The $249 price IS without the subscription to their services. The price goes done even further if you subscribe.
That price would be very good for just the hardware, let alone the 4gb CF card and the OS load they have already put together.
As far as not having an optical drive, I could go either way.

For a full system, that is a Zonbu, no subscription, and the external cd/dvd device with shipping and handling, it is roughly $306.00 I think this a more than reasonable price for a brand new system and would an excellent system for puppy in a small apartment or trailer. Still, if you wanted, this work great in a home office if you wanted to keep clutter to a bare minimum. I may just have to buy one.
The only windows I have are those on my home.

Puppy and Zonbu seems like a marriage waiting to happen, IMH.
the $249USD (no subscription) gets you the box plus two Gig of storage on their server, plus their automatic updates of the Gentoo-based OS and included programs.
the appeal of the hardware (for me, anyway) is that it's tiny, noiseless (no fans, no moving drives) and consumes very little power while being more than capable of what most people need from a computer.
i'm told that you need a pretty fast connection for their storage and maintenance model to work unnoticed by the user.
i'm tempted by the Zonbu, but then i'm already running myPup nearly solid-state on my old computer

Reading through the Zonbu website, I noticed something of interest. Zonbu does not recommend changing the OS on their little device. Furthermore, they list that Puppy on the Zonbu has both video and audio problems. My question is what version of Puppy was used and how hard would it be to work around this. I still think that Puppy running on a Zonbu type machine would be ideal. Any thoughts?

VIA Unichrome is a subject that comes up often when it comes to VIA boards, and which is discussed well here. Tempestuous is always on hand for problems in this area. That is about video.
Maybe Zonbu folks should be invited over to discuss their remaining problems here.

I don't think they'll be too eager to accept the invitation to accommodate other OS'es. Their business model depends on the subscriptions.
While I suspect that they are not selling the unit below cost, I'd bet they are selling them at a net loss when accounting for overhead, etc. Anyway, I think a skilled hardware hobbyist could certainly figure out which drivers, etc and could throw together a nice .pup that would make the unit fully functional.
That would be cool.

BTW, isn't the zonbu just an e-box that you can get at WDL systems? The cheapest I could convigure it at zonbu.com was for $314 and then cancel the subscription the next month.

Hi all,
I'm an engineer at Zonbu, answering the invitation you sent us. Zonbu has always been actively cooperating with the open-source community, and we release all our patches here:
If you start working on Puppy Linux for Zonbu, there's probably valuable info in our forums and our documentation (check the developer section).
However, as mentionned in this thread, we want to have users of our OS and our services, not users of our hardware (which is outsourced). Think "mobile phone"—it's the same business model. Our goal is to provide an hassle-free computing experience, using state-of-the-art open-source software. Hardware is just commodity to reach this goal. So it does not make sense for us to spend time to make Puppy Linux work on our hardware.
You're welcome to buy a device without any subscription plan (choose "à la carte" plan and de-select all options). We recently revised our pricing as we went out of beta, please go to our online shop for the most up-to-date info.
Thanks for your interest in Zonbu!

Given that Zonbu has now upped their prices, and I was only interested in the hardware anyway, I am now more likely to consider building something similar in size to the Zonbu. Somehow I think it would be less expensive than buying a Zonbu.

I note that several commercial craft brewers like to perform multi-step sacharification mashs, with a rest in the 140's and then a step to the 150's. I assume that they also step up to a mash out temp to improve lautering and extraction. I like a Ferrulic rest, but only for Weizens. But not too many brewers seem to deal with a protein rest.
Like Kai mentioned, British and usually American styles do not use a step mash (although somebody can probably come up with an exception!).
Someone on this forum referred me to this BYO article by Dave Green. http://byo.com/stories/techniques/article/indices/9-all-grain-brewing/1529-the-science-of-step-mashingI've read it 3 or 4 times and i get something out of it every time.
Quote from: denny on September 05, 2012, 07:30:54 PMLike Kai mentioned, British and usually American styles do not use a step mash (although somebody can probably come up with an exception!).Would you say that just comes down to a preference thing or perhaps just a brew house set up versus something necessary to the style? I know that spending more time at one range (beta vs alpha) can potentially change the body/fermentability, but don't ever recall reading anywhere that one brew style or another you ought not step mash.I don't mean to belabor the topic by any means — just seeking out more knowledge on the subject.
I'm thinking about modifying an ice cream maker to help with stirring the mash during heating.

FSG's "Work in Progress"
As any and all long-time (or probably even short-time) readers of Three Percent know, we pick on publisher websites quite a bit. (See for instance, any and every post about Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.)
Most often they deserve it for many of the same reasons that we like to make fun of book ads. I'm totally ripping off Richard Nash here, but if every company advertised its products the way book publishers do—a picture of the product with three quotes saying how great it is—capitalism would've crumbled long ago.
And just look at this mess. All the "You Might Also Like . . ." crap is annoying at best, especially since it's followed at the bottom by "New Books Similar to This One." And where's the info about the book (ISBN, price, page count)? Near the bottom of the listing in all italics. You'd never know it, but if you click on the image of the book cover, you get to read an excerpt! And what's up with all the ads and "Hot@Harper" shit? My six-year-old daughter has better aesthetic sense than the people who designed this.
BUT, occasionally a corporate press gets it right. Like with FSG's Work in Progress monthly newsletter/website. (Granted, this is apples to oranges in comparing to Harper's trainwreck, but I'm willing to bet Harper's monthly promo emails are as aesthetically confused.) Not only is this site elegant, it looks like something you'd want to read, and the marketing aspects of it are subdued and enhanced with interesting content. Such as this conversation between Marion Duvert and Richard Howard on Roland Barthes (Barthes? Can't imagine another "big" publisher referencing him—AND Samuel Beckett—in their monthly promo-newsletter):
So he called me just to say hello, and say that he would like to come to New York, and could I show him around a little bit because he had never been here.
I said certainly, and that I looked forward to it very much. He arrived. He had the first copy of, I think, Mythologies in print. The first day was very proper and careful. But we got along very well. It was apparent that he had made the right choice, and that we were going to be friends. I suppose that means I met the man first. But he came carrying a book, and I think he knew that I was a translator; and he wanted me to see it. I did translate right away three or four of those pieces that were published in various periodicals here. That was the beginning.
I don't think he ever again read any of my translations [of him]. I don't think he had any . . . it isn't that he didn't have interest. He would say that he didn't know English well enough to have it make any difference; it was just his satisfaction that they were in English. At the beginning I think there was some interest in that fact, but I never heard from him again on that subject.
I would ask him questions. I remember calling him up once and saying that he had referred to somebody inadequately or incorrectly, as I just knew. Did he want me to silently correct the mistake? He said, "Oh, of course. Do whatever you want. I have no idea." And then there was some question of some king or even Egyptian pharaoh, and he said, "Well, make it up. Make it up. I don't remember the case myself. If it's not correct in the French text, just make up something." He had decided that I was trustworthy, and he could rely on me to take care of such things, and there was no further discussion about it. He was not an anxious author about his translations.
This month's issue also includes interviews with Edith Grossman and Natasha Wimmer on Mario Vargas Llosa, both of which are pretty interesting:
Chapman: You've translated a number of García Márquez's novels—another Latin American Nobel laureate—who is lionized as much for his influence as for his writing. Do you also see the Vargas Llosa imprimatur in younger writers?
Grossman: I can't really answer that question except in the broadest terms. Vargas Llosa's influence may lie in the intertwining of the personal and the political. García Márquez's influence is more stylistic, I think: the intertwining of fantasy and reality, perhaps. They both owe a great debt to William Faulkner and, most of all, to Miguel de Cervantes. On the other hand, the impact of the Latin American Boom on young writers everywhere was enormous, and I don't think Toni Morrison or Salman Rushdie, for example, would write the same way without that older generation of Latin American writers.
Chapman: Speaking of the next generation, what was your reaction to Granta's "Best of Young Spanish-Language Novelists" list?
Grossman: I was very happy that Granta devoted an issue to young Spanish-language writers. In fact, I translated one of the stories, by a Peruvian, Santiago Roncagliolo. He's a wonderful writer—I did a novel of his, Red April, a couple of years ago.
Kudos to you, FSG, for figuring out this interwebs thing and how 21st-century digital marketing can work. If you're interested, you can subscribe here.
