install-path/ds6/bin/dsadm subcommand options
The dsadm command is the local administration command for Directory Server instances. Use the dsadm command with any of the subcommands described in this man page.
dsadm must be used while the server is stopped (except subcommands dsadm info, dsadm stop and dsadm restart). It must be run from the local machine where the server instance is located. This command must be run by the username that is the Operating System owner of the server instance, or by root.
The following subcommands are supported:
Adds a certificate to the certificate database.
Creates a self-signed certificate and adds it to the certificate database.
Enables or disables Directory Server instance startup at system boot. This command is only available if you installed with Sun Java Enterprise System or native packages, and is not available on Windows. This command must be run as root.
Creates a backup archive of the Directory Server instance.
Creates a Directory Server instance.
Deletes a Directory Server instance.
Disables a Directory Server instance from being managed as a service. This command is available on Windows distributions and on Solaris native package distributions only. The command must be run as root.
Enables a Directory Server instance to be managed as a service. This command is available on Windows distributions and on Solaris native package distributions only. The command must be run as root.
Exports suffix to LDIF format.

Displays the current version of dsadm. The version is provided in the format year.day.time. So version number 2006.178.0035 was built on the 178th day of 2006 at 00h35. If the components used by dsadm are not aligned, the version of each individual component is displayed.
The following options are applicable to the subcommands where they are specified.
Specifies the maximum age of lines to be returned from the access log or the error log. For example, to search for all entries younger than 24 hours, use -A 24h.
Creates the Directory Server instance in an existing directory, specified by the INSTANCE_PATH. The existing directory must be empty. On UNIX machines, the user who runs this command must be root, or must be the owner of the existing directory. If the user is root, the instance will be owned by the owner of the existing directory.
Specifies a Certificate Authority certificate is to be used, or that the command should display information about CA certificates.
Adds L=CITY to the subject DN. Default is none.
Adds C=COUNTRY to the subject DN. The default is none.
Defines the Directory Manager DN. The default is cn=Directory Manager.
Starts Directory Server with the configuration used at the last successful startup.
Specifies output format. For dsadm request-cert, the default is der, and the other possible output format is ascii. .For dsadm show-cert, the default is readable, and other possible output formats are ascii and der.
Customized values for options.
Possible flags for the dsadm backup subcommand are as follows.
Check database integrity.
Possible flags for the dsadm export subcommand are as follows.
Perform minimal base64 encoding.
Generate multiple LDIF output files.
Do not export the unique ID generated on import.
Do not fold long lines.

Possible flags for the dsadm import subcommand are as follows.
Merge chunk size.
Import LDIF generated during incremental import.
Does not create legacy scripts. If you do not use this option, command scripts that are similar to 5.x command scripts are created in the server instance.
Sets the server instance owner's group ID. The default is the user's current UNIX group. This option is not available on Windows.
Specifies the hostname. The default is the name of the current host system.
Reads the input file password in the INPUT_PW_FILE file. The default is a prompt for password.
Does not prompt for confirmation before performing the operation.
Specifies that the contents of the imported LDIF file are appended to the existing LDAP entries. If this option is not specified, the contents of the imported file replace the existing entries.
Specifies the number of lines to be returned from the access log or the error log. LAST_LINES must be an integer. For example, to return the last 50 lines, use -L 50. If no value is specified, the default number of lines returned is 20.
Specifies VLV (browsing) index.
Adds CN=NAME to the subject DN.
Reads the output password from the OUTPUT_FILE file. The default is a prompt for password.
Stores the command results in the OUTPUT_FILE file. The default is stdout, standard output.
Disables server instance startup at system boot.
Adds O=ORG to the subject DN. The default is none.
Adds O=ORG-UNIT to the subject DN. The default is none.
Specifies the secure SSL port for LDAP traffic. The default is 636 if dsadm is run by the root user, or 1636 if dsadm is run by a non-root user.
Specifies the port for LDAP traffic. The default is 389 if dsadm is run by the root user, or 1389 if dsadm is run by a non-root user.
Specifies that additional data needed for replication is not included in the export.
Specifies the subject DN. The default depends on the subcommand used, and is either CN=hostname or CN=CERT_ALIAS.
Exports data from suffix DN.
Adds ST=STATE to the subject DN. Default is none.
Service type. Can be CLUSTER when using Sun Cluster, SMF when using Solaris 10, or WIN_SERVICE when using Windows.
Specifies attribute index ATTR_INDEX
Sets the server instance owner user ID. The default is the current UNIX user name. This option is not available on Windows.
Reads certificate database password from CERT_PW_FILE. The default is to prompt for password.

Excludes the specified DN from the command.
Decrypts encrypted attributes.
The following operands are supported:
Specifies the path to the backup of the Directory Server instance.
Certificate alias name. A user-specified name that identifies a certificate.
Specifies the file that contains the certificate.
Specifies a flag that represents a property operand when using the command dsadm get-flags. Possible flag: cert-pwd-prompt.
Specifies a property flag operand and its value when using the command dsadm set-flags.
cert-pwd-prompt flag possible values are: off on. Default: off. By default the dsadm command generates a certificate database password when creating a server instance. This password is stored, allowing dsadm to access the certificate database when necessary, for example, when the server starts listening for SSL connections. When the cert-pwd-prompt flag is changed to on, the dsadm command prompts for the certificate database password when needed.
Path of the Directory Server instance.
Filename of LDIF file.
Cluster resource group. Required for CLUSTER service, not applicable for other types of services.
Suffix DN (Distinguished name).
The following examples show how the dsadm command is used.
$ dsadm create -p 6389 -P 6636 /local/ds
This command creates the server instance files in the directory /local/ds. The server instance is owned by the UNIX user who creates the command.
In this example, the LDAP port is specified as 6389, and the secure port is specified as 6636. If you do not specify port numbers, the default port numbers 389 and 636 (for root user) or 1389 and 1636 (for not-root user) are used. If you do not specify port numbers and the default port numbers are already being used, the dsadm create command aborts.
The server instance path is /local/ds.
$ dsadm start /local/ds
This command shows information such as the owner, ports, and current state of the server instance. The instance path is /local/ds.
$ dsadm info /local/ds
Import an LDIF file, specifying that no user confirmation is required, and giving the suffix DN.
$ dsadm import -i /local/ds /local/ds/ldif/example.ldif \ dc=example,dc=com
Export a suffix to an LDIF file.
$ dsadm export -x ou=People,dc=example,dc=com /local/ds \ dc=example,dc=com /local/ds/ldif/export.ldif
This command shows all data in the suffix dc=example,dc=com, excluding data in the subsuffix ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
This command backs up the suffix data and the configuration data. The instance path is /local/ds and the archive directory is /local/dsbackup/20060722 .
$ dsadm backup /local/ds /local/dsbackup/20060722
To regenerate the existing cn and uid indexes:
$ dsadm reindex -t cn -t uid /local/ds dc=example,dc=com
Use the following command to renew an existing server certificate with a new server certificate from your Certificate Authority.
$ dsadm renew-cert /local/ds cert_alias /local/certfiles/new-cert

I want to make a script that will execute .jar file on selected file. Later I will add that script to right-click menu via the tool Nautilus Actions or just place it into nautilus-scripts folder. I have a problem creating script.
When I am in a usual console screen and want to execute this jar file on any other file, I use this syntax
myfile.jar ./someotherfile.xml
and the jar file will write the output to the console screen.
So I created a file script.sh, added lines in it
/home/username/myfile.jar $1
But it does not output anything. I know I am doing something wrong. Please help.
To sum, I need a script that will use selected file as a parameter, open the gnome-terminal, inside that terminal it will start JAR file and pass it the selected file.
I am confident that this is a very simple procedure, but I am total newbie with shell scripting.

Guest: Leonard Greenspoon, Professor of Near Eastern Civilizations and Klutznick Chair in Jewish Civilization, Creighton University
Any student of a foreign language knows that the process of translating a text can be laden with unexpected choices about words, sentence structure, and phrases that don't make sense in the target language. Now imagine the added pressures of translating a sacred text whose language is well known and imbued with religious significance and symbolism. Our guest Leonard Greenspoon from Creighton University has done just that with translators of the Jewish Bible over the centuries.
In this episode, Dr. Greespoon takes us on a fascinating journey into a Jewish perspective on how and why translating the Bible is necessary, and how and why it matters.

WASHINGTON — When Mitt Romney and Rick Perry thumped their chests over their job-creation records as governor during the Republican presidential debate Wednesday night , they left the bad parts out.
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
Yes, employment has grown by more than 1 million since Perry took office in Texas. But a lot of those jobs are not well paid.
True, unemployment dropped to 4.7 percent when Romney was Massachusetts governor. But the state's employment growth was among the nation's worst.Story: Perry takes the heat but keeps on smiling
A look at some of the claims in the debate, and how they compare with the facts:
PERRY: "Ninety-five percent of all the jobs that we've created have been above minimum wage."
THE FACTS: To support the claim, the Perry campaign provided federal statistics for December 2010 showing only 5.3 percent of all jobs in Texas pay the minimum wage.
But those figures represent all workers, not just the new jobs, for which data in unavailable. And that does not account for low-wage jobs that may be above the minimum wage. According to the Texas Workforce Commission, 51 percent of all Texas workers make less than $33,000 a year. Only 30 percent make more than $50,000 a year. Nationally, Texas ranked 34th in median household income from 2007 to 2009.
About 9.5 percent of Texas hourly workers, excluding those who are paid salaries, earn the minimum wage or less, tying Mississippi for the highest percentage in the nation.
ROMNEY: "At the end of four years, we had our unemployment rate down to 4.7 percent. That's a record I think the president would like to see. As a matter of fact, we created more jobs in Massachusetts than this president has created in the entire country."Story: Two Texans trade barbs in GOP debate
THE FACTS: To be sure, 4.7 percent unemployment would be a welcome figure nationally. But Romney started from a much better position than President Barack Obama did. Unemployment was only 5.6 percent when Romney took office in 2003, meaning it came down by less than 1 percentage point when he left office in 2007. Obama inherited a national unemployment rate of 7.8 percent.
PERRY: "Michael Dukakis created jobs three times faster than you did, Mitt."
ROMNEY: "Well, as a matter of fact, George Bush and his predecessor created jobs at a faster rate than you did, governor."
PERRY: "That's not correct."
ROMNEY: "Yes, that is correct."
THE FACTS: Romney was correct.First Read: Who do you think won the GOP debate?
Romney accurately stated that George W. Bush — even without his predecessor — saw jobs grow at a faster rate during his 1994-2000 years as governor than Perry has during his 11 years governing Texas. Employment grew by about 1.32 million during Bush's six years in office. Employment during Perry's years has grown about 1.2 million, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
As for Perry's claim about Romney's record and that of Dukakis, he was at least in the ballpark.
Democratic Gov. Dukakis saw Massachusetts employment grow by 500,000 jobs during his two divided terms, 1975 to 1979, and 1983 to 1991, a rate of more than 41,000 jobs a year.
Romney, governor of Massachusetts from 2003 to 2007, saw employment grow from 3.23 million to 3.29 million, growth of about 60,000 jobs, or a rate of 15,000 a year. That's not quite three times faster than Romney's job-creation record.

Please use one of the templates. Also please mention which file format you can provide.
My target audience are techies working with Oracle (Oracle is the biggest software vendor, mainly known for its database) products and looking into cloud computing as well as senior management of larger companies that are interested in this technology.
Cloud Computing:
Cloud computing is about renting a virtual computer per hour. Computer experts often need large computers for a short period of time but normal provisioning takes too long and there is no budget to buy such an expensive machine.
Think about it like renting a Ferrari for a Saturday afternoon. It's the same principle, you don't have to buy it, you don't pay for maintenance, you don't need a garage, you just pay for what you get what you otherwise couldn't afford.
Amazon (yes, the bookshop!) is the biggest player in CC. They have CC data centers in US, Europe and Asia and rent out tens of thousands of computers.

Midazolam is common thread in 3 lengthy executions
Arizona used a two-drug protocol for Wednesday's execution of Joseph Rudolph Wood, who had been sentenced to die for the 1989 deaths of a former girlfriend and her father.
Witnesses saw Wood gasp and snort for an hour and 40 minutes after the execution drugs were injected in his veins. He finally was pronounced dead an hour and 57 minutes after the process started.
Executions without problems typically take 10 minutes or so.
A fence surrounds the state prison in Florence, Ariz. where the execution of Joseph Rudolph Wood was scheduled to take place on Wednesday, July 23, 2014. Arizona's highest court on Wednesday temporarily halted the execution of the condemned inmate so it could consider a last-minute appeal. The Arizona Supreme Court said it would consider whether he received inadequate legal representation at his sentencing. The appeal also challenges the secrecy of the lethal injection process and the drugs that are used. (AP Photo)
While no one knows why Wood's execution lasted so long, a common denominator for three lengthy executions this year is midazolam, a sedative often given to patients prior to surgery. It's commonly known as Versed.
Midazolam's side effects can include serious breathing problems and cardiac arrest. Warning labels that accompany the drug say monitoring is required in case there is a need to intervene with life-saving medical treatment. Overdoses can result in a slow heart rate. A normal dose is usually less than 5 milligrams.
Arizona's protocol calls for 50 milligrams of midazolam. The second drug in Wood's execution was the painkiller hydromorphone. At nonlethal doses, it changes the way the brain and nervous system respond to pain. At high doses, the narcotic can stop the respiratory system and the heart.
Midazolam and hydromorphone are the same drugs Ohio used in the January execution of Dennis McGuire, who snorted and made gasp-like sounds during the 26 minutes it took him to die. Ohio used 10 milligrams of midazolam, but then announced it was increasing the dosage to 50 milligrams in the wake of McGuire's execution.
Oklahoma inmate Clayton Lockett died 43 minutes after his execution began in April — of an apparent heart attack after the state's prison's chief directed the executioner to stop administering lethal doses of three drugs: midazolam, vecuronium bromide and potassium chloride. In executions, they are typically injected in that order, at high doses. Oklahoma's protocol calls for 100 milligrams of midazolam.
Vecuronium bromide is a muscle relaxant used during some surgeries and also can cause breathing difficulties. Potassium chloride is used to treat potassium deficiency but is used in executions to stop the heart.
Florida executioners have also used midazolam as part of that state's procedures. Florida's protocol calls for 500 milligrams of the drug.

KITTERY, Maine — Amy Foscaldi thought she knew what poverty was until she visited a Costa Rican town over the summer.
There, in the town of Nosara, outside the tourist destinations, the Kittery resident says locals struggle to find food and adequate shelter, never mind being able to afford school supplies and textbooks for students.
Foscaldi, 37, went to Costa Rica last summer to find a new job, and a new life for herself and her 13-year-old daughter, Aidia Sandlin. A single mother, Foscaldi has been struggling with poverty and joblessness for years, she told Foster's during an interview on Monday.
Upon arrival in Costa Rica in July, Foscaldi, a former volunteer firefighter and certified art teacher, was astonished to find that more teaching opportunities awaited her there than in the New England area. While Foscaldi had three interviews for teaching in the past two years in the United States, she had two interviews for teaching in one week in Costa Rica, she said.
Foscaldi, who is still learning Spanish, was hired last summer at Homeschool Beach Academy Nosara, teaching English and science to young children.
This Saturday, Foscaldi is returning to Costa Rica for a longer journey. She said she is not only seeking employment and a new life, but also to help the school provide adequate books and school supplies for the children.
"It's very difficult to educate when you don't have the right tools," said Foscaldi, adding many schools in Costa Rica don't even have soap.
In preparation for Saturday's journey, Foscaldi and Aidia were selling personal belongings to raise money for new books for Homeschool Beach Academy Nosara. The fundraiser was held at the Lions Club flea market earlier this month.
Foscaldi is also donating boxes filled with her own books — on poetry, art, history, and science — which she had been collecting over the years. Because of her efforts, eight or nine boxes will be arriving at the school, filled with books, educational puzzles, magnetic letters, and some of her own art supplies.
But Foscaldi still needs some help delivering boxes of books to Costa Rica. She is asking that local residents send monetary donations, books, or school supplies to Homeschool Beach Academy, (100 meters east of Supervida) Arenales de Nosara, Guanacaste, Costa Rica.
"I got a lot of work ahead of me," said Foscaldi, a Kittery resident of five years. "It feels good to help."
Taking a daring journey to Costa Rica to start a new life required making a pros and cons list, said Foscaldi, and some serious consideration.
"I am frightened beyond belief. I am so scared," said Foscaldi.
However, she noted that the difference she hopes to make at local schools, and the opportunity to make her life and her daughter's better, are worth it.
"A lot of us, we let fear get in the way of success," she said. "At this point, I have nothing to lose."
Foscaldi said while she and Aidia plan to return to the United States for a visit in September, she currently has no plans so far to permanently move back to America. Aidia, she said, will begin attending the same school where Foscaldi is teaching, and while Homeschool Beach Academy is currently low on supplies, Foscaldi said she's not worried about her education.
"Going to another country by itself is a huge learning opportunity," said Foscaldi. "She's going to learn a new language, a new culture, a new ecosystem. There will be learning opportunities around every corner."

Population growth, industrial and farmland expansion in Asia are stretching the limits of water allocation for nature's needs. Environmental Flows, or ensuring sufficient water for both people and nature, was the theme of a recent training workshop in Khao Lak, Thailand.
Expansion at the expense of traditional paddy fields and naturally draining watersheds and floodplains, can lead to the failure to allocate enough water for the environment. This causes ecosystems –already under stress– to seriously affect the health, well-being, and security of local livelihoods in many Asian regions.
During the training workshop, participants from South-East Asia were able to gain a more common understanding of Environmental Flows (Eflows) and learn how to integrate Eflows in their work on water resources management.
Investing in natural infrastructure, such as restoring floodplains, wetlands and rivers, means complementing engineered infrastructure, to help reduce the impact of flood events such as experienced in the recent Thailand flooding in November 2011.
"It is time to re-engage with existing and new knowledge on environmental flows and to strengthen networking amongst key stakeholders in the region" said Ganesh Pangare, Head of IUCN Water Programme for Asia. He welcomed over 40 participants from Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Sri-Lanka to the training workshop in Khao Lak, in southwest Thailand, from 3-4 November 2011.
Many of the workshop attendees shared their perspectives and experiences to promote and build a deeper understanding on complex water issues through the Mekong Water Dialogues (MWD). The MWD, supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland, were initiated to support water governance, by facilitating transparent and inclusive decision-making to improve livelihood security, human and ecosystem health.
"Spreading the Environmental Flows concept requires developing or linking up to new regional nodes" said Stefano Barchiesi, Project Officer IUCN Global Water Programme. "These nodes are instrumental to communicating the importance of implementing environmental flows on a local, national and regional scale."
Identifying the most relevant experiences on Environmental Flows and disseminating them to the regional level, increases sharing of context-specific information and comparison of lessons learned.
"A key to engaging with senior decision makers and stakeholders is being able to communicate effectively, and being able to present technical information on Environmental Flows in such a way that will convey the key message and inspire action, such as using river health score cards" commented Fiona Chandler, Program Manager at the International WaterCentre (IWC) in Australia.

I'm all about saving money any where I can. With today being the first day of Spring! It's time to take a look at the house and see how we can save money there. Here are a few ideas to help you save money.
1. Turn down the thermostat. Either turn up the AC so it's a little warmer or turn the heat down so it's running cooler (depending on your part of the country).
2. Run your washer after everyone has taken showers. This will have the water…Continue

I have struggled for almost a year on getting all the coupons that Sunday Coupon Preview says we should get in our weekly papers. At the beginning of 2012, I decided no more! I started ordering whole inserts from Insert Insanity. They are located in Florida. Some of the coupons are specifically for the area (like coupons for Goody's asprin and store coupons that are regional), but those are like 2 pages of coupons from the bulk of them…Continue

Murphy Bed King Size Abe Feller® GOOD Mattress
SHIPPING SPECIAL, around $119 shipping, curb side delivery, (more details), to most locations!
Bench crafted with quality materials by hard working Americans in a small family owned factory the old fashioned way.
Our GOOD mattress is the Murphy Bed Mattress. It is designed around a 13.5 gauge 468 coil spring set with cotton pad protection on both sides of the coils. The innerspring pad is followed by a half-inch layer of comfort foam and topped with quilted cotton. Then a 1.125 inch sheet of soft comfort foam is inserted. Finally the fine damask cover is quilted to create a great plush/firm starter mattress.
This GOOD mattress incorporates our amazing plush feel on one side and firmer feel on the other side. Want a different feel? Just flip the mattress. An idea whose time has come, especially when you consider the poor value that a one sided "no flip" mattress offers.
Our GOOD model sold here offers a low price with plush but supportive feel and a firmer feel with tighter quilting on the other side.
The outer fabric is a long wearing high quality damask. The high quality padding and cushioning of the mattress are described in the cutaway section available in the image gallery.
Proudly made in the USA!
This Mattress meets or exceeds the flammability standard FF4-72.
King Size measuring approximately 78 inches x 80 inches
King Size Mattress has 468 Coils.
Bedding Depth: Mattress Only: 8.25 Inches
Please allow 1-3 weeks for shipping.
WARRANTY AND RETURNS: This mattress or mattress set is custom made so it is not returnable for any reason. Orders cannot be canceled or changed once production has begun. Our mattress and/or Mattress and Foundation set will last for years. It is built from top quality componets and does not rely upon soft and cheap padding that can imprint and indent over a short period of time. However, we do not warranty our bed because we ship it all over the country and it is cost prohibitive to do a return. With proper metal frame support and proper foundation support (if you buy a set you get an excellent foundation) the mattress will last for years.

Google Decides Smartphone Market Share Is More Important Than Net Neutrality
from the dangerous-precedents dept
As a recent post noted, net neutrality is under threat in France, with ISPs like Free asking Google to pay extra for delivery of its traffic. According to this post on the Forbes Web site, Google has already agreed to pay the French telecoms company Orange in precisely this way. As well as damaging the whole principle of net neutrality, something that Google has been championing for many years, this would seem to be a pretty bad business decision. After all, if Orange is now getting paid to carry Google's traffic, why shouldn't every other telecom company out there also receive money for delivering Google's services?
It turns out that there are some very specific reasons why Google might have taken this surprising step, as Forbes explains:
Orange have implied their strong market position in Africa provided them sufficient leverage in the discussions with Google.
This is really about the African market, then. As the analysis above notes, Google wants Android to become established there as successfully as it has elsewhere in the world. If it had refused to do a deal with Orange, which is apparently a major player in this region, there was a danger that Nokia or RIM could have taken advantage of the situation. Even though the payment is nominally about Net traffic, it's probably really about Google keeping a dominant telecom company sweet.
The African market is currently making the switch from feature phones with limited data access, to low-cost smartphones that provide far greater access to the internet and web services. Low-cost smartphones that are predominantly powered by Android. Google wants the emerging market to be running their OS so they can effectively monetize the continent. What they don't want is another platform becoming established, such as Nokia's low-cost Windows Phones or the upcoming Blackberry 10 devices.
In most other parts of the world, Android is already established as the leading smartphone platform, so Google won't need to make similar deals. That doesn't mean that telecoms and ISPs won't demand them, but their bargaining position will generally be much weaker than Orange's. Google will probably be able to refuse without risking too much, secure in the knowledge that Internet users won't be best pleased with their ISPs if they can't access Gmail, or YouTube becomes unbearably laggy.
But even if the Orange deal is a special case, it's still bad news for the Internet. Google has clearly signaled that net neutrality is not sacrosanct, and that it is quite prepared to abandon it when necessary.

Seriously, what were they thinking....http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/we-got-your-back
I found it hilariously cheesy and ridiculous.
small-minded is pretty much the summation of all of Microsoft's marketing strategies of late.My favorite was the Bing street team that was all like "Hey! If you can differentiate Bing from Google (aka the search engine you see everyday most likely) we'll give you a free XBox and use you as a testimonial!"
Quote from: Ashton on November 27, 2013, 01:58:27 PMI found it hilariously cheesy and ridiculous.Maybe, dunno how well it'll work as a marketing strategy for a game system though...
I dunno about that, companies can get really small minded. Remember the PS4 "how to let your friends borrow your game" spot? It was hilarious, but still pretty small minded.

Holy Khomoli
oh Hai...
oh Hai...
Boom, 2 weeks in a row.
I've shifted from the old way I used to do the strip to a certain extent by using colour. The problem is that the Wacom has a pretty ropey display and I find it very hard to get a good colour profile. I know this is a pretty 1st world problem.. boo hoo my spare mac display doesn't have the right gamma, boo hoo... but what I really mean is I'm going to have to spend a bit of effort trying to sort it out.
Back to filling out job applications. More next week.
A year is a fairly long time to be overrun by Zombies, but that's life.
I've finished by BSc so can now crack on with finishing this arc of the Wychwolf story. Work is turbulent, and there is a distinct possibility I'll have lots more time on my hands in the near future :(
Art wise- things haven't changed much. I've done very little proper work in the past year, though I've done some "Graphic facilitation" found some cracking new pens and paper, and have bought a Cintiq. Worth a quick look at www.strangebiros.co.uk to see the sort of stuff I've been doing.
Last weekend was 24HCD, but I was suffering from a weedy cold, so only managed 8 pages. However they were 8 "ok" pages, and it was a good warm up for getting back to Wychwolf... as I sort of had BPRD helping out BrightAngel with an aquatic squid peril.
More soon.
Wow, nearly Christmas.
I have four days of work next week, then I'm off til, the New Year.
Adam has drafted the outline of the remainder of this part of the wychwolf story, so hopefully we can push through during the holiday and get everything finished an into a buffer.
I'm going to need as much slack as I can have come the end of January as I start the Further Object Oriented Programming module of my CS course.
Happy Christmas
When we visited Kingston Lacey a while back we found so many odd things that just had to end up in the wychwolf story. In this case the gardens of Kingston Lacey really do have obelisks and such like scattered around them. We found a sacrophagus and it was covered in ladybirds.
I'll see if I can dig out the photos.
I listened to a podcast with John Allison who creates "Bad Machinery" talking to Dan Berry this morning as I walked the dog across the frosty fields. It was strangely depressing for me, as John is very forthright, and honest in criticising the UK Web-comic community, for it's lack of professionalism, and the inability of the artists to sell stuff. Having been on the table next to John at the last UK webcomix thing I understand what he is talking about, and feel I am definitely in the poor performing camp. But what do I do about it? Do I knuckle down and pull out the stops and only produce the very best work I can? Or do I give up? I'm not sure. I've enjoyed learning in public, whilst working on the Wychwolf story, but sometimes it really is a lot of old bother.
stacked with work.
feeling the pressure.
more later.
Uh oh
Zombies again
The 24HCD 2012 story I did with Gerald and Brian is now in the iBooks store for free.
Having a whole story to test out the new ibooks author tool, and submission process is really useful. I have a Children's story book that I've been working on for ages... and I understand the ibooks process reasonably well now.
I did have an idea that I'd bundle all of the first arc of the story into am ibook, but it's a fair bit of effort, and there are MANY pages in Wychwolf1 that need reworking...
Anyway: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/book/the-last-dragon/id573251668?mt=11

Van Halen
- Eddie Van Halen
- David Lee Roth
- Alex Van Halen
- Michael Anthony
- Sammy Hagar
Van Halen's jarring stage presence and virtuosic skill kicked the American rock scene into high gear.
They delivered their music with an unrelenting intensity and musicality that audiences devoured, launching them to superstardom and restoring hard rock to the forefront of the music scene.
Van Halen formed in 1974 but emerged in public view with the 1978 release of their self-titled debut album, which quickly established them as the hottest American hard-rock band since Aerosmith. Van Halen reinvigorated hard rock during a period of doldrums by bringing youthful, West Coast bravado and blistering virtuosity to the genre. Much of the latter was provided by Eddie Van Halen, who exhibited blinding speed, control and innovation on the guitar. His two-handed fretboard-tapping was just one of the many techniques that he introduced to legions of young guitarists.
Complementing Eddie's musical genius was vocalist David Lee Roth, a flamboyant extrovert whose gruff voice, salacious wit and gymnastic moves sparked Van Halen's live shows. Rounding out the quartet were Alex Van Halen (Eddie's brother), a thunderous and inventive drummer, and bassist and harmony singer Michael Anthony.
Van Halen came together in Pasadena, California, where all four lived and went to school. Born in the Netherlands, the Van Halen brothers were the sons of a classical musician who relocated the family to Southern California in 1962. Roth's ophthalmologist father moved the family to Pasadena from Indiana. The quartet ultimately attended Pasadena City College, where they combined forces as the band Mammoth and then dropped out to pursue their rock and roll dreams. Eventually, Warner Bros. offered the group a contract. Because there was already another Mammoth, the group renamed itself Van Halen, at Roth's suggestion.
Released in 1978, Van Halen's self-titled album opened with a virtuosic blast of energy from Eddie entitled "Eruption." It included a hard-rock remake of the Kinks' "You Really Got Me" and such powerhouse originals as "Running with the Devil" and "Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love." Van Halen peaked at Number 19 but stayed on the charts for more than three years. After 30 years and 11 studio releases—four of which reached Number One—Van Halen remains the band's top seller, with U.S. sales of more than 10 million. The band's other big hit, 1984 (1984), has also surpassed the 10 million mark. To date, Van Halen has sold more than 56 million records in the U.S., which places them among the top 20 best-selling artists of all time.
Van Halen followed up its initial success with a string of dependably hard-rocking albums on a yearly timetable: Van Halen II (1979), Women and Children First (1980), Fair Warning (1981) and Diver Down (1982). In concert, the group delivered its self-described "big rock" with deafening intensity and bacchanalian abandon. Roth derived inspiration from such pre-rock entertainers as Al Jolson and Louis Prima, and the combination of his showmanship and the Van Halen brothers' musical acumen proved irresistible.
The band hit a pinnacle with 1984, which was issued in that portentous year. The album had little to do with George Orwell's novel of the same name, except for implicitly debunking its dire prophecies with some of the year's hardest-rocking party music. 1984 contains three classics—"Jump," "Panama" and "Hot for Teacher"—that became staples of both Van Halen's live show and MTV. However, interpersonal strains between Roth —who cut a successful solo EP (Crazy from the Heat [1985]) and began eying a film career— and his band mates resulted in what Roth later termed a "bitter and ugly divorce" in the wake of their 1984 world tour.
However, Van Halen bounced back strong following Roth's departure. The group recruited Sammy Hagar, who sang and played guitar. Hagar had started out with the hard-rock group Montrose and had a highly successful solo career. He fit well with Van Halen, with whom he was more personally compatible than his predecessor. In fact, the newly harmonious group scored its first Number One album with 5150 (1986), on which Hagar handles lead vocals. It was the first of four consecutive chart-topping studio albums—OU812 (1988), For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge (1991) and Balance (1995)—from the reconfigured lineup. Even the 1993 double-disc Live: Right Here, Right Now made the Top Five. Meanwhile, the second incarnation of Van Halen often found itself on the singles charts with such hits as "Why Can't This Be Love" (Number Three), "When It's Love" (Number Five), "Top of the World" (Number 27) and "Can't Stop Lovin' You" (Number 30).
Much less successful was Van Halen III (1998), the sole Van Halen album recorded with former Extreme vocalist Gary Cherone after Hagar's ouster in 1996. Despite that commercial lapse, the Van Halen catalog has otherwise displayed remarkable consistency, with all 10 studio albums from the Roth and Hagar eras being certified multi-platinum (more than one million copies sold). Although the merits of each vocalist's tenure have been hotly debated, it should be noted that both halves of Van Halen's career succeeded for different reasons. The first era worked because of the band members' differences with Roth, while the second half worked because of their similarities with Hagar.
Inductees: Michael Anthony (bass, vocals; born June 20, 1954), Sammy Hagar (guitar, vocals; born October 13, 1947), David Lee Roth (vocals; born October 10, 1954), Alex Van Halen (drums; May 8, 1953), Eddie Van Halen (guitar; born January 26, 1955)

Market Beat: The January effect and the market's all-time highs
TRUCKEE, Calif. – The January effect is a well known stock market indicator. The way the January effect works is that most of the time if January is a good month for stocks, the rest of the year will follow suit and be bullish. This year was one of the best Januaries in a long time.The Dow recorded its best January since 1994, and the S&P 500 had its best January since 1997. In January, the Dow was up 5.8 percent and the S&P was up 5.0 percent. That's a pretty good start for the year and we are approaching the all-time highs for the market.The all time high for the Dow was 14,198 on October 11th, 2007, and we were above 14,000 last week and at the highest levels since 2007. The S&P 500's all-time high was 1576.09 on October 10th, 2007, and it has been above 1,500 and also at its best levels since 2007.It remains to be seen if we hit all time highs for the market this year, but we are very close and it won't take much upward movement from here to set new all-time highs. The Super Bowl indicator for this year was bearish, as the Ravens won and are from the AFC. The Super Bowl indicator has been accurate about 80 percent of the time, but please remember, it is not meant to be taken seriously.The market had a great January for several reasons. The tax part of the fiscal cliff talks has been settled, the economic data has been reasonably positive and basically in line with market expectations and the corporate earnings reports were solid. Looking ahead, we should probably see the same type of low growth economic environment.Things are looking up for the market and the economy in general, but investors should always be aware of the possible risks that could derail things. Tail risk is a term that refers to the risk of a large downside move in the market usually due to an unforeseen event.For 2013, we should always keep our eyes on events in Iran as a conflict over there could lead to a spike in oil prices and derail the economy. Fed policy is also important to monitor as the Fed's stimulus has helped the market tremendously. China is another country to watch – if they begin selling our bonds, that could drive up interest rates and have a negative impact.- Kenneth Roberts is a Truckee based Registered Investment Advisor.

WASHINGTON - The Senate Armed Services Committee will hold a confirmation hearing on the nomination of Chuck Hagel to be the next defense secretary on Jan. 31.
The panel announced the hearing in a statement issued Wednesday.
The committee's chairman, Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan, has expressed support for Hagel, President Barack Obama's pick to replace Leon Panetta as Pentagon chief.
The panel's top Republican, Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, said in a statement late Tuesday that he would oppose the nomination.Inhofe is one of a handful of Republicans who have expressed their opposition to Hagel, a Republican who served two terms as senator from Nebraska.
Hagel has been widely criticized by media pundits and organzations with strong pro-Israel views since his name was first floated as a successor to Panetta.
But Hagel got a significant boost recently when he got the support of Sen. Chuck Shumer of New York and Sen. Barbara Boxer of California., two of the staunchest pro-Israel Democrats.
Schumer and Boxer said Tuesday that they had spoken extensively with Hagel and he had addressed their earlier reservations about whether he was "anti-Israel," too soft on Iran and opposed to gay rights.
"Based on several key assurances provided by Senator Hagel, I am currently prepared to vote for his confirmation," Schumer said the day after a 90-minute meeting with Hagel at the White House. "I encourage my Senate colleagues who have shared my previous concerns to also support him."
Boxer expressed her support and urged fellow senators to do the same after receiving a letter from Hagel in which he insisted that he supports Obama's foreign policy positions.
In the letter, the former Nebraska senator also expressed regret for using the term "Jewish lobby" to describe pro-Israel groups, calling it a "very poor choice of words."
Republicans said it was highly unlikely that Schumer and Boxer would have opposed a Democratic president's nominee at the start of Obama's second term. Still, the support of two of the most prominent Jewish members of the Senate is certain to ease concerns among pro-Israel lawmakers and rally noncommittal Democrats to Hagel's side.

Note: Violating any of the below rules will result in disciplinary action being taken against the character that may include official warnings, @muteplayer, @kill, @kick, and @ban. Multiple infractions by a character or several characters associated with an account will result in the @ban of that account.
3.1. You may not harass or threaten other players (sexually, racially, or otherwise). Final determination of player infraction and severity will be made by a CSR. This includes but is not limited to: Hate Mongering, Sexual Abuse. Harassment, Training, Phishing and Spamming.
3.2. You may not use any sexually explicit, harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, obscene, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive language, in any language. The presence of any form of preventative filter or other game features is not license or permission, tacit or otherwise, to use such language in any form.
- 3.1.1 Harassment is defined as any unwanted or unwelcome behavior beyond the limits of good taste, civility and appropriate game context. Harassment is further defined by who is being harassed and how they perceive it. They then provide the proof to us, SWGEmu Staff, where we make a determination if it is indeed harassment.

Rule of thumb, once every 3 minutes (/pause 180) is plenty for hawking (selling) an item or advertising for buffs (Buff instructions from entertainers can be given in group chat to keep from cluttering up spatial). As there is no Auto-AFK timeout on the server, emotes (/smile, /clap, etc) in your macros serve no purpose other than to clutter up spatial, and should not be used. Note: excessive numbers of hawkers in an area may be removed from the server by a CSR.
- 3.1.5 Scamming is defined as a confidence game or other fraudulent scheme, especially for making a quick profit; swindle. Also defined as to cheat or defraud with a scam. Proof from the involved account must be submitted to SWGEmu Staff in a ticket and an investigation will be done to determine if it is indeed scamming.
3.3. You may not impersonate any SWGEmu Staff Member or associated Live Server Admins, past or present. They are volunteers helping you get your game back. This includes any form of parody, jest, or attempt to deflect other players for fear of action being taken against their account. This includes:

The Packers visit the Seahawks this evening and, honestly, all I'm hoping for is to see just how far we can take this rotten officiating. The Seattle crowd, of course, is responsible for letting us all know, the one or two times a year they are a game we all actually watch, which team leads the league in forcing opponents into false start penalties. As though that were some kind of worthwhile statistic. Guess who leads the league? Seattle! Convinced? Will the officials comply? Who knows?!
So, feel free to yak about that anything else. Like, say, how Seattle fans are not especially louder than others, their stadium is just acoustically superior, or how Mike McCarthy is annoying. Either of those things would be acceptable. Enjoy!

Associate Dean, STEM Division
Associate in Science Degree, Transfer Program
The Environmental Science A.S. degree is designed to enable students to transfer to most baccalaureate institutions with standing as a junior. The program outcomes prepare students for "green" employment in industries that are targeting global climate change, management of natural resources, and protection of the environment. While completion of this degree alone prepares students for work as environmental technicians, continuation through transfer institutions qualifies the graduate for work as environmental engineers, educators, environmental field biologists, and other environmental scientists in both the public and private sector.
Graduates will demonstrate a thorough understanding of the theoretical principles, processes, and relationships underlying the environmental sciences, and be able to apply this knowledge to a wide variety of practical situations. They will also demonstrate an understanding of the social, economic, political, and ethical issues related to the environmental sciences, perform relevant laboratory experiments and interpret data gathered from such experiments, and develop the ability to critically analyze and formulate possible solutions to environmental issues.
Inherent in Corning Community College's mission is preparing students for a life of service to their professions and their communities in a globally interdependent society. The environmental analysis community is a key player in directing important public policy objectives related to quality of life issues, economic development, and environmental responsibility.
The State University of New York (SUNY) requires students who intend to receive a bachelor's degree from a SUNY college to complete at least 30 credit hours in specific general education areas. Students in this program who plan to transfer to a SUNY college can meet 21 credits of the general education requirement. For more specific information about this requirement, refer to the SUNY General Education Requirement and see an advisor for program assistance.

Antisemitism in the British isles has a long and inglorious history, preceding the expulsion of Jews from Britain in 1290.
Anthony Julius, a London-based lawyer, has immersed himself in this age-old topic and written a weighty tome on it. In Trials of the Diaspora: A History of Antisemitism in England (Oxford University Press), he explores this phenomenon by examining four varieties of Jew hatred.
The first variety, the antisemitism of defamation, expropriation, murder and expulsion, climaxed in the medieval era.
The second kind, literary antisemitism, reeks in the pages of literature down through the ages.
The modern antisemitism of insult and partial exclusion has been experienced by Jews since their readmission to Britain in the mid-17th century.
The latest configuration of antisemitsm treats Zionism and Israel as illegitimate.
Jews settled in Britain after the Norman conquest in 1066, but conditions for the Jewish community did not deteriorate until the mid-12th century.
As Julius writes: "In medieval England, Jews were defamed, their wealth was expropriated, they were killed and injured, they were subjected to discriminatory and humiliating regulation, and they were, finally expelled."
The expulsion of Jews from Britain was preceded by their removal from towns such as Bury St. Edmunds in 1190 and Newcastle and Warwick in 1234.
"England, last among the nations of western Europe to receive Jews, was the first to expel them," Julius observes. "The expulsion was welcomed as a precedent by later generations of antisemites in other countries."
Curiously enough, literary antisemitism emerged after Jews were expelled and no longer were permitted to live in Britain. By the time Jews returned 400 years later, British literature had stereotyped them.
Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales was rife with derogatory references to Jews. William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice perpetuated vile antisemitic myths. Thomas Nash's The Unfortunate Traveller underscored Jewish depravity. Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist drew attention to an unsavoury Jewish character, Fagin.
Anthony Trollope's novel The Prime Minister introduced the quintessential Jewish villain, Ferdinand Lopez, who "knows how to look and talk like a gentleman and claims to be one, but is soon revealed to be nothing but a Jew adventurer – a stranger … a schemer, a cajoling bully, a speculator, a swindler, a liar and a cheat."
Jews were readmitted to Britain by Oliver Cromwell, even though merchants and clerics voiced strong objections, fearing competition.
During the post-Cromwell period, Jews were subjected to ridicule in pamphlets, petitions, newspaper articles and satirical prints and cartoons.
But as Julius points out, philosemitism was also an element in public discourse about Jews.
The burning issue in the mid-19th century was whether a politician elected to the House of Commons could take his seat without swearing an oath on the true faith as a Christian.
The issue was finally resolved in 1858 when Lionel Rothschild, a newly elected member of parliament and a member of a famous banking dynasty, was not compelled to utter fidelity to Christianity upon taking his seat.
Rothschild's supporters hailed his admission to the House of Commons as a victory over religious persecution and bigotry. Detractors warned that the campaign for emancipation was a talmudic plot.
Benjamin Disraeli, a convert to Christianity and the first person of Jewish descent to become prime minister, faced taunts throughout his distinguished career. In attacking him, some antisemites referred to his "crypto-Judaism" and "Judaic feeling." One opponent wrote, "Mr. Disraeli is a Jew by birth and a Christian by accident."
The Aliens Act of 1905, supported by no less a person than Arthur Balfour, whose name is affixed to the 1917 Balfour Declaration, was designed to exclude "undesirable aliens" from Britain. Although the word "Jew" appeared nowhere in the legislation, Julius notes, it was widely understood that Jews would be disproportionately affected by the xenophobic measure.
The 1917 Bolshevik Revolution in Russia had unintended consequences in Britain, he says. Antisemites perceived it as a Judaeo-Bolshevik conspiracy, and in Palestine, British officials tended to equate communism with Zionism.
As the eminent British historian A.J.P. Taylor has acknowledged, postwar antisemitism was endemic, excluding Jews from social clubs and corporate boards and limiting their access to private schools.
The antisemitism that pervaded the era from the 1920s to the '40s was "deep and broad," bearing the weight of the preceding half-century of antisemitic practice, observes Julius.
Singling out the most vociferous antisemites of that period, he mentions unreconstructed racists such as Oswald Mosley of the British Union of Fascists, the Conservative party parliamentarian Maule Ramsay and the agitator Arnold Leese. The latter, a veterinary surgeon who founded an outfit known as the Imperial Fascist League, promoted the concept of blood libel and even called for genocide.
The troubles in Palestine following World War II – the bombing of the King David Hotel and the hanging of two British soldiers, to name but two salient incidents – generated a wave of antisemitism in Britain.
Synagogues were damaged, Jewish-owned shops were smashed and Jewish cemeteries were desecrated. Britain's foreign secretary, Ernest Bevin, admitted that "anti-Jewish feeling" was "greater" than it had been in a century.
The commander of British military forces in Palestine, Gen. Evelyn Barker, was more explicit. In a reference to "these bloody Jews," he wrote, "Yes, I hate the lot – whether they be Zionists or not."
Julius also documents the activities of the notorious neo-Nazi John Tyndall, who described Jews as "cancerous microbes."
His chapter on antisemitism and anti-Zionism is instructive. Criticism of Israeli policy is perfectly acceptable and legitimate, he suggests. But when Israel's very existence is denied, a red line has been crossed.
In summation, Julius says that while British Jews are secure today, contemporary antisemitism should be regarded as "an elusive, low-key affair, perhaps best understood as an antisemitism of minor, uneven inhibition on Jewish ambition and self-esteem."
It is, he claims, "a story of snub and insult, sly whisper and innuendo, deceit and self-deception."
Not a pretty picture.

Story highlights
- Grieving over daughter's disappearance, Colorado man creates 14-song album
- Aubrey Sacco disappeared during hike in Nepal in 2010
- Album, for sale on iTunes, includes songs from Aubrey and her father
- Album is fundraiser for investigation
Paul Sacco says searching for his daughter feels something like bleeding out. All the hope, heartache and anxiety that go into it leave him feeling diminished.
But the Colorado lawyer and amateur guitarist has managed to bottle up some of that energy, spending hundreds of hours creating what is both a tribute to Aubrey Sacco and a monument to his sorrow: a 14-song album he has published to Internet vendors.
"Finding Aubrey" includes 11 songs written and performed by Sacco at his home studio, as well as the last three songs Aubrey herself recorded at home before the 23-year-old disappeared in April 2010 while hiking alone in Nepal.
The case is unsolved, and the album -- for sale on iTunes and other outlets -- is a fundraiser for an investigation into her disappearance.
"So many people who know us say, 'What is it like?' or 'I can't imagine what it's like to have your daughter go missing,' " Paul Sacco said in a phone interview. "The album tells the whole story: feeling helpless, feeling like you want to celebrate your daughter, feeling like she may never come back and diminishing yourself as you look for her."
Aubrey disappeared toward the end of a five-month post-college trip in Asia. The 2009 University of Colorado graduate, who had a double major in psychology and art, went to Sri Lanka to teach yoga to vacationers before traveling to India to study yoga and volunteer to help schoolchildren with music and art.
She hoped to do charitable work, perhaps hooking up with a nongovernmental organization abroad, her dad said. But she vanished on the last stop of her trip, in Nepal's Langtang National Park, where she hiked for at least two days.
She initially was believed to have made it as far as a particular village on the hike's second day, but villagers there changed their stories and said they didn't see her after all. Investigators don't know what happened to her and have yet to find any physical trace of her.
Paul Sacco, 59, and his wife Connie have taken trips to Nepal to press the investigation, working with private investigators, Nepali police and the Nepali army to try to determine what happened.
Between his job and his investigation, Sacco found at least three hours a day for more than a year to create the album. Playing all the instruments, supplying all the vocals and recording and mixing the tracks, he grieved through music. He came up with a first version last year before publishing the finished product in April.
"My counselor said that he felt that was extremely healthy for me as an outlet, because that was how (Aubrey and I) related to each other, through music and art," Sacco said.
There are songs of tribute and nostalgia. "Crayons in the Sun" recalls Aubrey growing up -- painting, going to a father-daughter dance, wearing a homemade dress to graduation.
"I've written songs since I was 10 years old. I never wrote a song that I was crying onto the paper so much that the pen wouldn't write -- until then," Sacco said.
The album also shows moments of determination. In "The Great Divide," Sacco sings of moving heaven and Earth for her.
"Your pictures all hang in these empty rooms / I know you'll be here, soon," he sings.
In much of the album, though, Sacco works through despair and isolation.
"Now we're the car wreck on the road / people turn their heads and drive away from here," he sings in "A."
"Stare into the Darkness" speaks in part to the investigation's magnitude: "Stare into the darkness / and it'll stare right back at you / from the other side of the world / I think it's going to run me through."
Listeners also get to hear Aubrey, in songs that Sacco asked her to record before she left. They used to play music together, and he knew she was working on a few songs in the months before her trip.
"The night she was packing for Sri Lanka, I asked her, 'Honey, I really want you to record these songs,' " Sacco said. "She said, 'Why?' I said, 'Just in case something happens to you.' "
Aubrey's songs were rough recordings, not meant to be final products. But Sacco is grateful to have them and says they "give you a flavor of where she's coming from."
Sacco believes one of her songs, "My Heart Knows," was an "accept-me-for-who-I-am" sort of song, addressed primarily to a romantic interest but possibly to whoever listens.
"Please let me be me / person you're afraid to be / but don't worry, I know where to go / I know, because my heart knows," Aubrey sings.
Sacco, who didn't particularly want Aubrey traveling alone, said the song offers a good glimpse at his strong-willed daughter.
He has sold several hundred copies so far, and that's a few hundred dollars more for the family's investigation fund. He's grateful to have had the chance to explain what he's feeling though music.
Sacco hoped the disappearance would be solved by the time the album was done. Since he finished it, he hasn't been able to write much. The two relatively new half-songs he's written still are about Aubrey, but he says he doesn't have the energy to complete them.
"The biggest thing was to bury myself in my work at the law office (after the album)," he said. "That seems to be a good place to hide."
