Trash Roxapp - Discussion Document
Subject description: How would you like to see the Trash roxapp work?
I am going to be updating the Trash roxapp soon (hopefully next week).
But I want to start a more general discussion about its future.
Please respond with either your opinion of how the Trash should work (in terms of what the user sees), and/or specific discussion of the details of implementing it.
Personally, I would like to see a trash that places deleted items in a .trash folder in the top directory of the filesystem they come from - similar to the way the Windows recycle bin works. One specific benefit of this will be that you can trash a large item from some mounted partition, and it won't be copied into your small pup_save file, filling up space. It will also avoid potential problems caused when you trash an item but there ISN'T enough space, and when you try to restore a file that came from a filesystem that isn't currently mounted. On a multi-user system it would also allow you to restore things someone else has deleted.
Ideally I guess anything deleted from inside a user's home directory should be sent to ~/.trash rather than than /.trash as well.
I think the implementation of this might be a bit beyond me - in particular I have no idea how to determine where the top of the filesystem the deleted item came from is. Also, we would have to do away with any symlinks (e.g. for .DirIcon) in the appdirs of the trashed items, to allow for Windows filesystems. (or just be happy with not having an icon on windows filesystems).
And how would we centralise it? We could send anything trashed from inside ~ to ~/.trash, and also put symlinks there to anything else the user trashes. (We couldn't put the actual appdirs there, and just put the actual deleted items elsewhere, as the whole point in the appdirs is to cope with deleting files with the same name). But would this arrangement be too confusing on a multi-user system, because you would see everything you trashed in ~/.trash, but if you go to /mnt/hdb1/.trash, you will see things that don't show up in ~/.trash, because someone else deleted them?
Also, should we have some sort of check (if that is possible) for read-only filesystems, so you can't accidentally send something to the trash that doesn't actually get deleted after all? (Actually, this might not be a problem - I can't remember how the code works, and I haven't tested to see what happens at the moment).

Well when I wrote the trash application originally, I intentionally did not put the trashed item in the drive that it came from. Mac OSX does this and it makes invisible .trash files on all your external drives, even your USB thumb drives. I have always found this annoying. It could be done pretty easily though. Although you could leave it the way it is and just check if there is not enough room in your pup_save file. It would be easy to notify the user if the trashed item was too large or if it was on an external drive. Read only file systems could be an issue if you wanted the trashed items on the original drive, but I have an even greater concern. What if the drive is formated as NTFS? Some Puppys can write to NTFS drives, but if the NTFS drive isn't in the best of shape it could cause data loss. My vote would be to leave things the way they are but check to see if the trashed item is large or on an external drive. If it is, then offer to just delete the item and not put it in the trash bin. I should update the Trash app to check for NTFS drives anyways. I was planning on updating the looks of the trash soon. It was going to get a FLTK interface. I think that FLTK can look much nicer than xmessage.

OK, if you are planning to update it, here are the facts to be aware of (you probably know most of it already though)
-I updated it a while ago to handle paths with spaces, and to add some enhancements.
-Someone else over at Rox also fixed the spaces issue (I wish I'd known that before!). They then fixed a number of other bugs apparently (there is a proper changelog), added some features, made it Freedesktop compliant and ported it to some GTK gui. One important result of their changes is that you can trash files/folders called .DirIcon and AppRun and whatever the other file is that appdirs need, without losing them forever. I was going to fix this, so I'm glad I found out.
-I started (but don't have time to finish until sometime after easter) backporting their version to work with xmessage and .trash rather than .Trash (so that it is backwards compatible with Puppy's trash), and adding my earlier feature enhancements in. I also intend to make clicking on a trashed item bring up the information window, which will have a button to open the file (I did have clicking open the file).
-Does Dingo have FLTK? There are so few FLTK apps around that if you use FLTK you should really keep the capability of using something else if necessary. Or will it be statically linked, and will that solve the problem? Also, Puppy has so much GTK that gtkdialog or something would fit in better. Maybe we could introduce to Puppy the gui that the guy over at ROX uses. But I think it was quite large by Puppy standards.

I worked with the guys over at Rox for a while, but I got busy changing jobs and what-not. I'll have to check back and see what they came up with. I would just use murgaLua for the FLTK interface. Just test for murgaLua at the begining of the script. If it is there than use it. Otherwise use xmessage or gtkdialog.

I've never used the Trash Roxapp and probably never will unless I get really bored, so please excuse any ignorance on my part. Not that I have anything against it. I've just learned the hard way since leaving 'doze that once I delete something it's gone, and do not want to unlearn that and get sloppy and also have to worry about emptying trash and such...
Also, we would have to do away with any symlinks (e.g. for .DirIcon) in the appdirs of the trashed items, to allow for Windows filesystems. (or just be happy with not having an icon on windows filesystems).
Why give up the icon? Just name the image itself .DirIcon and not have any symlinks in the first place.
As far as determining the root of the filesystem a file comes from, that shouldn't be too hard. Running
returns a list of all mounted filesystems and where they're at. Assuming you know the file's full path, you can do some string processing to figure out where its root is.
And how would we centralise it?
I'm not familiar with how it works. I do know that you can use
to see all the mount points, then do a check to see which of them have .trash directories. Then you could symlink the trash directories or their contents or do whatever else you feel inclined to do. I think something like "trash_from_hda1/", "trash_from_hda2", etc. would make sense, though it's a little long winded.
The idea of placing the trash on the drive it came from has the advantage of being pretty fast (moving files within a partition doesn't really need any actual data transfer, unlike across partitions).
Between depriving a man of one hour from his life and depriving him of his life there exists only a difference of degree. --Muad'Dib

Okay I have been thinking about this and playing with some of my USB flash drives that have trash directories from Mac OSX. Here is what I'm thinking. When a user sends something to the trash, first check for any issues such as read only partitions/drives or NTFS formated partitions/drives. If it is such a drive, show the user a message letting them know the issue and exit. This is something that should be done anyways. When something is sent to the trash from inside the pup_save file then put it in $HOME/.Trash. If the user was root (such as in Puppy) then it would be /root/.Trash. If the user was Bob then the path would be /Bob/.Trash. If the trashed item is from another area, put it in the top of the partition for that drive. For instance /mnt/sda1/.Trash. Here's the catch, on boot and anytime a new partition is mounted or un-mounted, the trash icon would have to be updated to see if there was anything in the hidden trash folders. This would be easy to add to the new auto-mount script that I am writing. One thing that really bugs me about the Mac OSX trash is the emptying of the trash with other drives mounted. If you have a drive mounted with things in it's hidden trash folder, emptying the trash deletes all the files in all the hidden trash folders on all the drives. Maybe a separate menu option to empty the trash for each partition would be good? One fun feature would be to use and show the trash folders that may already be created by Mac OSX. If done right, Mac OSX would use the trash folders created by Puppy.

Not quite sure why you are improving what works?
Are there any security issues?
Could you shred the data? (overwrite with 0 & 1 several times)
Do you intend animating the icon?
Maybe a record of how much is in the trash?
Store trash as gmail option?

You can use the stat command to find out what physical drive a file or folder ison.
Not too long ago I wrote a Rox AppDir called RecycleBin which lets you throw itmes away and still be able to put them back where they were originally. I also had thought about implementing separate trash cans for each drive at least as an option. Other pressing matters stopped the work on it for awhile.

Yes, but if we are ultra keen on saving space, then a symlink is better, and it's not like there's any real need for the icon. Also, then the icon could be changed with themes
Although I think Nathan was talking about rewriting the trash to actually use an icon that matches the mime type of the file... which would be cool, but sounds horrendously difficult.
I've just learned the hard way since leaving 'doze that once I delete something it's gone,
I just avoided the trash until I sat down to figure out why it didn't work, and realised that the reason was simply that I usually had spaces in the paths. So I fixed that, and now Lobster says
Cool seems to just work
Well, somebody who didn't use spaces would have said that before, but they would have been wrong - for me it certainly did not work.
At the moment if you unwittingly trash something called .DirIcon or AppRun or AppInfo.xml or whatever the other thing is, then it is GONE FOREVER.
So we will get the fix for that. And apparently the guy at ROX has fixed other bugs - I didn't notice any others, but hey, if they're fixed, that's great.
Then it will almost "just work". Except for the very real issue of trashing something big from elsewhere, and filling up your pupsave. So I think we should at least do a check to prevent that...
No - I don't really know or care about security issues. And shredding data is a completely different task from what the Trash does, so if you want an app for that, I think it should be separate (I guess it could be on the item's right-click menu - but how many people would ever use it? Is there a utility in Puppy for shredding things?).
No - I don't care for animated icons.
Maybe a record of how much is in the trash?
That is a good idea - do you want the icon do indicate this? That would be meaningless if we do what I want and have .trash directories on every partition. But if we do it the way Dan suggests, detecting Trash directories, (which is compulsory if we want to be Freedesktop compliant) then I think we could put an option on the right click menu to show us a table for this.
One fun feature would be to use and show the trash folders that may already be created by Mac OSX.
And what about Gnome and KDE etc? I ended up with things in trash on my flash drive in Ubuntu, but I'm not sure whether it was Gnome or KDE that did it. I wonder if the Mac trash is anything remotely near being freedesktop compliant. I just had a look at the Freedesktop specification, and there are lots of random checks we need to make to be fully compliant. Some I don't understand, but others, like checking that e.g. /mnt/hdb3/.Trash isn't a symlink, are very helpful
If we want to be compatible, I guess we should use .Trash rather than porting it back to .trash
We could just have Puppy rename /root/.trash in an upgrade, or (safer) the trash roxapp could move anything in .trash to .Trash when you click on it.
Freedesktop spec:If the directory exists and passes the checks, a subdirectory of the $topdir/.Trash directory is to be used as the user's trash directory for this partition/device. The name of this subdirectory is the numeric identifier of the current user ($topdir/.Trash/$uid). When trashing a file, if this directory does not exist for the current user, the implementation MUST immediately create it, without any warnings or delays for the user.
When trashing a file, if an $topdir/.Trash-$uid directory does not exist, the implementation MUST immediately create it, without any warnings or delays for the user.
I don't like that part of the spec - it is so cumbersome it makes me want to ignore the spec and throw compatibility out the window. If you trash something from a filesystem that other people have access to, surely it is best to give them access to the trash too?
Freedesktop spec:When preparing a list of all trashed files (i.e. to show to the user), an implementation also MUST check for .Trash in all top directories that are known to it.
That is worse than the icon problem you mention - I can't think how it would even be feasible to display all files with our ROXapp approach. I realised another problem with my idea of symlinking anything you delete elsewhere into ~/.Trash - if you go to /mnt/sda1/.Trash or whatever and delete it, you will have dead symlinks. Maybe we would just have to put symlinks in ~.Trash to all the .Trash folders.
Maybe a separate menu option to empty the trash for each partition would be good?
Definitely something like that. But we could just have a menu option to show information on the trash directories, and it could list them, with their sizes, and buttons to empty them. HEY - we could have buttons here to open each trash directory, instead of trying to have one window that shows all trashed files. And we could even open this window when clicking on the roxapp. I think that would work quite well.
Freedesktop spec:A trash directory contains two subdirectories, named info and files.
Reading this carefully, it seems that even though the guy at Rox thinks he is freedesktop compliant, he really isn't. He has a directory for each deleted item inside .Trash, with info and files folders in each one of these directories. I'm inclined to say we stick with this approach, and don't have all that rubbish about $uid directories. Because actually, he isn't freedesktop compliant anyway, because the mechanism for restoring files is built into the roxapps, so we can't restore files that were trashed by something else, because they aren't in roxapps.
Freedesktop spec:The system SHOULD only support absolute pathnames in the "home trash" directory, not in the directories under $topdir.
This is a good call.
If anyone wants to read it, I could only find the freedesktop spec at http://web.archive.org/web/20070815003029/http://www.ramendik.ru/docs/trashspec.html
So I think we have 3 choices:
1-sticking with essentially what we have, but with the refinements I will do, and anything anyone else does
2-moving to a fully freedesktop compliant system, which we could not really do with a Roxapp based system - I wonder if there is anything lightweight available already.
3-rewriting our roxapp based system as Dan and I have described, to support a similar thing to what the freedesktop people call $topdir trash directories.
I definitely prefer the third option, but that is probably because I don't anticipate ever using anything other than Rox. If we did 1 or 3, we would also have to choose whether to stay with .trash or move to .Trash, but since there is no real compatibility with other systems, I can't see the benefit of changing.
Personally, I think anyone using Puppy who is switching between using this and using a Gnome trash or something, is probably smart enough to handle both systems. The only real reason for wanting a freedesktop compatible system is if you bring a flash drive home from your Ubuntu computer at work or something like that.

I agree. Let's just go ahead and do option 1 since it needs done anyways. I really don't like the sound of option 2. Option 3 could be a long term goal if you or I ever feel adventurous.

OK, I found it easier to start with my version and merge select features from Achaw's version, rather than the other way around.
-I took the version from Dingo and fixed the bugs introduced by Barry's modifications for Dingo (it didn't play the sound, or restore the "empty" icon if you deleted or restored the last item in the trash).
-I then added some of Achaw's features and bugfixes, most notably putting the trashed item in a "Files" subdirectory, so that you can safely trash files called .DirIcon, AppRun or AppInfo.xml, and restoring a desktop icon (if there was one originally).
Because I started with the code from Dingo, people with older Puppies will need to either edit the scripts, or move/link their existing icons (from inside the Trash roxapp) to /usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/trashcan_empty48.png and /usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/trashcan_full48.png
-I didn't add the "restore all" feature as I don't think it is useful, but it would be easy to add if people want it.
-I commented out the "quickly empty trash" entry in AppInfo.xml, as I think that option is dangerous, but it will still work if you uncomment it.
-I think it will now work in a multiuser system, but haven't tested that.
1. I simplified Achaw's feature of writing information about the trashed item to an "info" file, so that instead of parsing the "info" file like he did, it just displays the entire contents of the file, so that it is even easier to add additional information. I would like to add the size of the trashed item to this file, I just don't know how to find it.
I don't know what other information people would find useful - maybe permissions? Change/modify/Access times? The names of links to this item that we removed from the pinboard (these are stored in the "shortcut" file so it would be easy to do)?
This information is written around line 101 of AppRun.
2. Action buttons (delete this item, restore this item) in the info window.
If we added these it would make a lot of sense to bring up the info window on double click, instead of opening the trashed item with whatever Rox opens it with, as I have it doing now. I think you could still do this just with xmessage, but i don't know how to get at the exit codes.
3. A check for space in the filesystem that contains the trash folder, when a file from elsewhere is sent to the trash. Also, a message to confirm if you want to delete a large file (I don't know - 5, 10, 20 MB?) from outside this filesystem would also be useful.
4. Maybe we should consolidate the code a little - at the moment the original file's path is stored in two places - in the info file and in the apprun file itself. If we took it out of the AppRun file, maybe this file could be a symlink just like .DirIcon and AppInfo.xml?
5. If you send several items at once to the trash, it would be nice to see them in the trash together (i.e. as one trashed item) - this might be a little tricky to do.
6. We could fix it so that it restores all shortcuts on the pinboard, not just one, but I don't think this is that important.
7. What would be very useful is another option on the main trash right-click menu, that will generate some sort of list of files in the trash, with other information, such as size, deletion date, and file extension, (probably by reading the info files). This list could be used to sort files by things like extension and size, which isn't possible currently (maybe in a spreadsheet would be easiest).

OK, I figured out how to do number 2 (I'll upload tomorrow after I test a little more carefully).
For the desktop links in number 1 I am just putting a yes or no, rather than names.
I would really like to know a command to get a sensible printout of the size of a file or directory, and I am quite keen on having the permissions and times as well.

OK, I have finished with it now. I added some more information in the info window and added action buttons for everything.
I changed it so that the info window is shown when you click on the trash.
I fixed a bug in restoring pinboard shortcuts to files with spaces in the name.
I changed it so that when you restore an item you can choose to cancel, or to overwrite or trash an existing file/folder with the same name.
I made it fix the trash icon when you click on it if it showing as full when it is actually empty.
I might have added other features, but I can't recall
The only issue is that what the info window shows for "Extension" is silly if the file doesn't have an extension. But there isn't really a good way around this.
Have fun!

works good for me
1. Why bother trying to list the file extension, you have the full filename already.
2. The du -h listing with sizes is great. I think it would be better if you used the full listing rather than cutting off the file names.

I've talked about the sky on more than one occasion here. For any outdoors photography, the sky is a critical component of the shot- either because the nature of the sky dictates the quality of light falling on the subject (particularly in portraiture), or because the sky makes up a component of the photograph's composition- and therefore interest. Even a neutral (e.g. monotone grey or white) sky contributes to a photograph- although if not done correctly, can have a negative effect, either leaving an image appearing dull and flat, or washing it out.
The great gift that varied clouds lend a photograph is a sense of depth and magnitude. Generally, the more textured and varied the cloud, the greater the sense of dimension in the image- although of course, there are times when a sky is so patterned with clouds that it can take away from the subject in the foreground (particularly when dealing with crossed contrails which can leave a sky looking messy and even polluted- though they can also add interest and depth to a photo).
There are times, however, when clouds are so full of texture and character that they take over the photo entirely and become the subject themselves. The taking and enjoyment of such images is often playfully referred to as 'cloud porn', and I confess I am a bit of an addict. I love to incorporate skyscapes into my scenic photography, and most of my strongest landscapes are not taken with a featureless blue backdrop, but with a variety of textured clouds. The times I find myself wanting to rush out with my camera are not those cloudless blue days, but times when I look outside and the clouds are doing all kinds of interesting things. As I mentioned in a recent post, since taking up photography I find myself watching the sky- and in particular, the clouds- all the time.
Here are a handful of cloud shots- some where clouds form backgrounds, and others exclusively of the clouds themselves- that I enjoy for the presence of the clouds' texture and quality.
When taking photos of clouds, it's important to consider issues such as lighting and contrast. Generally, there is a lot more light reflecting off clouds than off the ground. Under these circumstances, exposing for the ground will usually wash the clouds out and make them a featureless (and often unattractive) grey-white. Likewise, exposing for the sky will darken the foreground, often to obscurity.
You can do a few things to get around this. One is to accept the foreground as a lost cause and try and put an interesting silhouette in front of the clouds.
On a day where the light is patchy, wait for the sun to come out onto the foreground. Some of the most dramatic photos around are of dark skies with a well-lit foreground, and the sense of contrast can be wonderful.
Alternatively, using a gradient neutral density filter (a neutral grey filter that progressively darkens the higher or lower it goes without affecting the cast of the image) can allow you to have a dark sky but a well-lit foreground. This can be applied in-camera or in post-processing. A variant on this dual-processing is the use of HDR (High Dynamic Range) which essentially does away with the varied lighting by mapping two separate exposures one on the other to draw the best of both. Done well, it can [occasionally] yield dramatic and striking effects, although to be honest, most users of HDR blow it out and leave the image looking artificial and tacky. I don't use HDR- partly because I don't have the patience to learn how to apply it well- but there are some great examples of it.
Using a polarising filter on a partly cloudy day can increase the contrast in the sky and make for a very attractive image too.
Whatever you do, don't forget to actively involve the clouds in your outdoor portraits and landscapes- and even if you're out with a camera, make sure to look up and enjoy the puffs of condensing water vapour performing for your enjoyment.

Hi and welcome
please post a small sample sheet with some data and expected results ( Click "Go advanced - Manage attachments). Thx
HI, Please help me write a formula
to sort the 10 lowest scores out of the last 20 entered by date and either mark them or copy in the next col. So they can be added.
I can add and average the result.
The real and complete way to calculate HDCP is
5 or 6 games, sort the Lowest 1
7 or 8 games, sort the Lowest 2 and so forth,
9 or 10 Lowest 3
11 or 12 Lowest 4
13 or 14 Lowest 5
15 or 16 Lowest 6
17 Lowest 7
18 Lowest 8
19 Lowest 9
20 games Lowest 10
But if that's too complicated, I can live with 10 best of 20.
Hi and welcome

We wanted to know how the new Accord could stand up to competitors that are now much more advanced in their own efficiencies. And beyond its threat to put us to sleep at the wheel for sheer boredom, the Accord stood up fairly well. It does have an Econ button to nanny your driving for maximum fuel efficiency, but like many buttons of this kind we didn't find it helpful. In fact we achieved better fuel economy with the button off, because in Econ mode the car required us to press the accelerator so much harder to get adequate acceleration. So the Econ button not so impressive, but the takeaway is that we were still easily able to achieve 33 mpg without any hybrid tech and without trying very hard. We bet hypermilers could push it closer to 40 mpg, easy. And the Accord, despite appearances, does have plenty of get up and go, so even 33 mpg is pretty good for the size of this car. And if you have more cash to drop, you can buy a plug-in hybrid version of the Accord for $39,000.
Honda has also kept up in interior fit and finish, trim (gray!), and has included XM radio and new features like heated seats and dual-zone climate control. The car even has blind spot cameras that show you what's in your blind spot via the navigation screen every time you use your turn signal. Honda may have gotten a bit ahead of itself with the Forward Collision Warning system, however, which malfunctioned and startled us so badly while driving on a completely empty road that we nearly did have a collision. Maybe we're not making a terribly good case for this car. Let's try again. Yes, the electronic gizmos are inexplicably split between two screens, and the engine while muted retains a bit of that Honda outboard motor sound, but the car is quick, smooth, quiet, comfortable, and who cares if we couldn't for the life of us figure out how to reset the preferred seat position controls to keep the driver's seat from inexorably sliding backwards every time we got in the car?
Nobody wants to look like a clown getting in their car, but Honda has been making rock-solid dependable cars forever, and these things are like tortoises. Not in the slow kind of finish the race way, but in the manner in which their lives move so steadily that they will easily outlive you and your great aunt. We bet this new Honda Accord will go down for its awesome reliability, honest fuel efficiency figures, and steely (gray) gaze at the competition. It will get better mileage than you. Just order it in as many colors as they will let you.
+ Honda

Lets not mince words: EA is in no uncertain terms going after Activisions Call of Duty series with their reboot of Medal of Honor, the decade-plus strong series (historically set in WWII) that began life with the backing of Steven Spielberg.
Now that its 2010 and trending in the game industry has led to a preference of modern military-styled shooters over period games (Treyarchs upcoming cold war-era CoD entry, Black Ops notwithstanding), the developers decided it was time to move on and do something new. But between the legacy of Infinity Wards Modern Warfare series and EAs own Battlefield: Bad Company games, is there enough room for more post-9/11 inspired warfare? Well, that depends on how much you are interested in that setting.
Medal of Honor probably wont be a game that holds many surprises for most players familiar with modern war-set FPSes. Much like other modern war shooters, MoH revolves around the ongoing war on terror the U.S. and its allies have been doggedly pursuing for nearly a decade. However, unlike past titles dealing with the idea of contemporary warfare, Medal of Honor actually uses real locations and scenarios relating to post-9/11 military conflictsin this case Afghanistanrather than the vague, unnamed Middle Eastern locales typically seen in the past. Needless to say, this is something for which EA and Danger Close should be recognized. EAs hardline stance about the game making you play as the Taliban (admittedly only during multiplayer) has also drawn some controversy, even leading the game to be banned on U.S. military bases. However, the commitment the developers have to MoHs theoretically hot-button, topical subject matter is also a step in the right direction for the industry, particularly after Infinity Wards botched execution of Modern Warfare 2s infamous airport scene. But after spending some time with both MoHs single player campaign as well as multiplayer, I wonder if a real-life setting and some potentially ideologically-charged content is going to be enough.
That isnt to say that I think MoH is shaping up to be a bad game, or even just an average one. Its pretty clear that Danger Close have worked hard on the title, which is apparent from the quality of the gameplay. But the particulars of Iraq, Afghanistan, and the anonymous Middle East stand-in seen in most video games to date are probably going to be lost on most gamers, particularly CoD fanboys that just want to shoot each other in the facewhich means that right out of the gate, MoH runs the risk of getting lost in the modern war-set shuffle. After all, you can only raid so many terrorist hideouts or run through so many sandy environments before you have to wonder if youve done this before elsewhere. Modern war shooters, at least those that loosely take notions based somewhat in our politically-charged reality, have to really do something different to stand out. Infinity Ward have proven their godlike prowess at weapons balancing and visceral gameplay; DICE, who created the games multiplayer, has its own Bad Company series with (sort-of) destructible environments and vehicles. MoH, following the Tier 1 operators and other military teams stationed in Afghanistan, may be much less Michael Bay than the alternate history bombast of Modern Warfare 2, but can it stand up to all the competition?
All generalizations aside, the game does have some tricks up its sleeve, though they somewhat bafflingly differ between single player and multiplayer. From a mechanics standpoint, the single-player campaign, running on the heavily modified version of the Unreal engine looks great and plays well, if a little slower than DICEs frantic multiplayer. There are two major advantages MoH has over its rivals here: leaning kills and a slide maneuver that lets you dive for cover with ease. Peeking out to take a leaning shot from the relatively safety of cover in an FPS is nothing new, though surprisingly few console titles use it; being able to adjust your position both horizontally and vertically while, say, ducking behind a rock is a little hard to get used to at first (if you want to use iron sights while leaning, you have hold down both the left shoulder buttons) but once you do it becomes second nature to duck behind something, lean at a slant, and pop off a few well-placed shots. The mechanic may seem minor in the grand scheme of things, but its value quickly becomes apparent. The slide is just as important, particularly when sprinting between places to hide in the games firefights. Battles may not have the complete sense of panicked immediacy that Modern Warfare has become known for, but Danger Close has done a great job capturing the confusion and overwhelming feeling that being surrounded by a large group of armed targets that, say, hide among the sandy cliffs of the desert, making them tough to hit. Much like the vicious gun battles in Kane and Lynch 2, I often had a hard time figuring out what direction I was supposed to be running for cover, or where a hail of bullets was actually coming froma nice dose of what I imagine would be realistic chaos thats balanced well within the games linear track. Also adding to MoHs sense of realism is the inclusion of dust, which can often obscure enemies to the point of near invisibility. Its something so nuanced you might not even notice it, but its an environmental element that is largely absent from almost every other modern FPS with any kind of sandy environments.
Taking another cue from Modern Warfares arcade elements, MoH also has sections that are relatively on-rails. During the ninety minutes or so I played of the single player campaign, two of the three levels utilized this type of design, including a long segment blowing targets up with a military chopper as well as some sniping using an extremely high-powered sniper rifle alongside Dusty, the heavily-bearded T1 operator featured on the games cover. Both missions played as well as the more traditional shooting segments, though how much switching off there is the full game remains to be seen.
Perhaps the oddest thing about MoH is the drastic differentiation between the single-player and multiplayer modes. Single-player looks to run at about 30 FPS and uses an engine Danger Close tweaked just for this game; multiplayer on the other hand uses DICEs own Frostbite engine, which runs at a much faster clip and feels, well, like any other DICE multiplayer game. What puzzled me the most was that the mechanics you will likely come to rely on in single-playerthe lean and slideare both noticeably absent from MoHs multiplayer. The faster speed compensates for this to some degree, but its still a kind of jarring difference that leaves the two game modes feeling like night and day. Regardless, the class-based Modern Warfare-style matches are a blast to play and have a variety of standard modes that should keep most players busy until their next FPS fix.
The jurys still out on whether or not Medal of Honor can overcome its familiar trappings to do something truly unique, although the decision to seemingly not make a topical statement about current military dealings seems like taking a disappointingly safe approach to an ethically interesting issue. But with a more realistic storyline and pretty solid game mechanics, hopefully Danger Close and DICE can at least make an entertaining or dramatic experience, if one that probably isnt as relevant as it could be. In any case, well find out when the game launches October 12.

Bernard Baran wants daycare case removed from record
BOSTON -- A man whose conviction was overturned in a day care molestation case after he spent 21 years in prison asked a judge Tuesday to wipe his record clean.
Bernard Baran Jr. was convicted in 1985 of molesting five children at the Early Childhood Development Center in Pittsfield where he worked at a time when there was a national hysteria over child-care sex abuse cases.
Baran, then 19, insisted he was innocent but was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
His case was kept alive by a growing number of supporters who were convinced that Baran, an openly gay man, was persecuted for his sexuality and the hysteria surrounding allegations of child molestation at day care centers across the country.
Baran was released in 2006 after a judge ruled that his trial lawyer was incompetent. The Berkshire District Attorney's Office decided not to retry him.
The state attorney general's office opposes the move to erase his record.
During a hearing Tuesday in Suffolk Superior Court, Assistant Attorney General David Hartnagel argued that under state law, criminal records can be expunged only after a defendant receives a judgment in his favor against the state in his erroneous conviction cases. Baran reached a $400,000 settlement with the state, but the state denied liability in that settlement.
"There's ultimately never been a finding here of actual innocence," Hartnagel said.
But Baran's lawyer, John Swomley, said both sides agreed to reserve the question of whether Baran's record would be expunged outside of the settlement. Swomley said the overwhelming evidence in the case showed that the children weren't molested at the day care center.
"There really were no crimes committed at all," Swomley said.
Although there were hours of videotaped interviews with the children, jurors, Baran and his lawyer didn't see all of them, including tapes in which the children said he had never harmed them. The judge who overturned his convictions and ordered a new trial cited his trial lawyer's incompetence and the videotapes.
The judge Tuesday didn't immediately rule on Baran's request.
Swomley said he was puzzled by the state's decision to agree to give Baran a monetary settlement but to oppose his request to expunge his record.
"They don't just hand out money to people they think are guilty," Swomley said after the hearing.
Baran, now 47, said he had trouble finding a job after he was released in 2006 because people were reluctant to hire him even though his convictions were overturned. He eventually found work as a landscaper through one of his supporters, he said.
He said expunging his record would help him feel more secure.
"It's been 27 1/2 years since my original arrest and I'm still dealing with this situation," he said after the hearing.
"I don't feel like the state has ever humanely let me out of their grasp."

Who says you can plan your own birthday party?! That's what custom invitation designer, Margot Madison, thought when she started thinking about her upcoming 40th birthday. Margot wanted to plan a party to celebrate her friends and family who went through all of her ups and downs throughout the years. It was more of a celebration for them which I think is so sweet!
I am such a fan of the bright and cheerful color palette Margot chose! Crisp white with bright pops of red, hot pink and orange gave the party a jubilant vibe. Margot loved the fact that she got to design all of the paper goods however SHE wanted to! This is rare for a stationery designer!
The welcome packets were clever. Each pack contained a hand written note, custom name tags and a party game raffle inside.
The flowers were GORGEOUS and designed by Joni of Sprouts Floral Design!
The photo booth backdrop really caught my eye! What a great idea to cover a space with poms! It gave the pictures the perfect amount of texture and pop of color.
Happy 40th birthday Margot! Thank you for sharing your party with us!

Hutchinson vs. Flores for No. 2 post
In the closely watched lieutenant governor's race, state Sen. Mark Hutchison defeated one-time U.S. Senate hopeful Sue Lowden, who lost the 2010 primary to tea party darling Sharron Angle in the race for Sen. Harry Reid's seat.
Hutchison will face Democrat Lucy Flores, a two-term assemblywoman from Las Vegas who also easily won her primary with more than 70 percent of the vote. Flores has U.S. Sen. Harry Reid's support to become Nevada's first black lieutenant governor.
Flores defeated Navy veteran Harley Kulkin.
Flores enjoyed the support of Reid in her bid for lieutenant governor, whose primary job is to oversee tourism in Nevada.
Hutchison, a first-term senator and wealthy lawyer from Las Vegas, had the backing of Gov. Brian Sandoval.
Hutchison's campaign ads attacked Lowden for making contributions to Reid's re-election campaigns in the 1980s.
Sandoval's popularity has many Republicans wanting him to serve only half of a final term and run in 2016 against Reid, the Democratic majority leader.
Hutchison said he and Sandoval will run as a team in a "dual campaign."
"We have a very similar governing philosophy," he said. Sandoval "is popular for a reason" and puts "Nevadans first."
Sandoval dismisses speculation he may have his sights set on higher office.

After all the years of using Vienna I can't believe I am just now thinking to ask for this. I have flirted with Reeder and ReadKit, several different times, because they each offer various iterations of dark/darker themes. Otherwise they suck in so many ways.
My apologies if this idea has been discussed/dismissed; I did search.
Thanks for the work!

I was in London the other day in the wrong shoes.
It was an experience I would have, a few years ago not imagined myself having. As the wind gave me a totally dishevelled look, my mind felt the same for a while because I was in a meeting within a pub around the corner from the Bank of England, where I worked many years ago, except the meeting was not financial, pricing or lecturing related. My water tasted faintly of beer, the table looked outwards. People in shiny shoes hurried past me, lots of purple shoes. They were not purple/maroon when I was working around there. Workmen told me they did not know where number 21 was even though they were standing two doors away and I could not find any macaroons.
I left my meeting feeling hungry and the air had left me. I combed through the local eateries for a vegetarian sandwich, a humble request. Dry falafel wraps, stinky red onion humus and thick slabs of cheese with chunky pickle. I get frustrated without food but I just did not fancy any of those 'options'. I was turning into the angry hungry girl I was when I worked in the corporate offices where the restaurants offered burritos, salad, jacket potato and something else that I did not fancy in the restaurant at work. This is why I make my own.
The folk from Savera paneer sent me some paneer recently and I made lots of wraps for,'lunch on the go'. I found the paneer moist, spongy and a great sponge for flavours. Some packaged paneer can feel rubbery but this one was closer to the homemade stuff. I recommend eating these wraps when the paneer hot, so if you can keep the paneer hot and heat it up in the microwave when you are ready to eat, all the better. The spicy and succulent paneer contrasts well sweet red roasted peppers and crisp, raw spinach. As far as vegetarian fast food goes, this is immensely tasty and makes for a quick and easy meal.
Ingredients to make 8 wraps/ to serve 4-6
Prep time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Two large red peppers
One medium red onion, finely diced
100g chopped, tinned tomatoes
2 tbsp. cooking oil
½ tsp. ground turmeric
1 tsp. cumin seeds
4-5 curry leaves
Salt to taste
1-2 green chillies, finely chopped
1 tsp. coriander powder
¾ tsp. garam masala
¾ tsp. paprika
1 tbsp. lemon juice
275g grated paneer
100g baby spinach leaves, washed and dried
8 plain flour tortilla
Cooks tip; remove any excess liquid from the paneer before marinating it by wrapping it in kitchen paper and letting it rest for 15-20 minutes.
1. Roast the peppers by placing them in the oven at 180 degrees until they start to blister and brown. It should take 30-40 minutes depending on your oven. When the peppers have cooled to handling temperature, put them into a food bag and let the skin slip off. Cut each pepper into 8, thick slices.
2. To make the paneer filling heat the cooking oil in a non-stick pan and then add the cumin seeds, turmeric, curry leaves and chillies and allow the cumin seeds to sizzle before introducing the onion.
3. Add salt to the onion and sauté until the onion has softened before stirring in the paneer, paprika, garam masala, and coriander powder and lemon juice.
4. Now add the chopped, tinned tomatoes and cook the paneer for 7-8 minutes before turning off the heat.
5. Heat the tortilla wraps per the packet instructions and then places a generous handful of spinach leaves in the centre. Next add a couple of thick slices of roasted red pepper and two dessert spoons of paneer. Fold the tortilla into a wrap.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
Two of the world's funniest people, Ellen DeGeneres and Blake Shelton, are at odds over a little turtle tweet. It started a few days ago when Shelton wrote, "Does anyone know if the Eastern Box turtle is protected in Oklahoma? If so I didn't just swerve to the shoulder of the road to smash one."
It got more than 600 retweets. But all kinds of people replied with angry words for Shelton, who replied that he tried to give the turtle CPR and then shared a heated back-and-forth with someone called @turtlefeed. Again, all just joking.
But after the backlash got to be a little too much for Shelton, he wrote an apology. "Ok. Now that 'Turtle-Gate' is over I want to apologize for my ignorant joke. I never ran over a turtle. It wasn't even possible," he said.
But then yesterday, DeGeneres got involved. She wrote to Shelton, "Here's what's funny: knock-knock jokes. Here's what's not funny: animal cruelty." All he could say to that was, "For god sakes… Now Ellen?!!"

BlueScope Steel has announced plans to cut 170 jobs at its Western Port facility in Hastings, south of Melbourne.
About 110 employees and 60 contractors will lose their jobs over the coming months.
Workers returning from leave were told the news this morning.
BlueScope says it will begin the consultation process with employees and union representatives to manage the transition and intends to offer a round of voluntary redundancies.
The company has blamed the job cuts on a downturn in domestic demand and a drop in exports due to the high Australian dollar.
BlueScope says the changes are part of a restructuring of its cold rolling, metal plated and painted steel production, which will see output fall to meet lower demand.
"We will keep all currently operating lines and assets open at Western Port to provide flexibility and allow for additional throughput when demand improves," said BlueScope's head of Australian and New Zealand operations, Mark Vassella, in a statement.
The decision comes after scores of redundancies at the company 15 months ago.
In November 2011, more than 200 workers were sacked from the Western Port plant, most taking voluntary redundancies, but this time the Australian Workers Union says many of the redundancies may be involuntary.
Unhappy new year
AWU secretary Cesar Melhem says this announcement is likely to be far worse for workers than the previous round of job cuts.
"More than likely to involve some forced redundancies, and people will struggle to find a job in the current environment," he said.
"I was hoping 2013 would be better than 2012, but it's not a good start."
Mr Melhem says workers are devastated by the news and especially the timing of the announcement.
"They're not taking the news very well. Mind you, just came back after Christmas, most of the people came back today with the news," he said.
"They'll go home today and tell their wives and husbands they don't have a job, so it's going to be quite devastating."
Worker Shane Burd says he and his workmates are shocked.
"Again, again, we have to go through this again," he said.
The redundancies will take effect from mid-March.
However, Mr Melhem says the decision to keep all the production lines open may mean that some of the lost jobs will be reinstated if demand for steel products improves.
"That's the only good news in this announcement, they're not closing any lines so that's pleasing," he said.
"They're going to invest in the business, some $100 million in new product, so that's very positive.
"So I'm hopeful when the market picks up again, some of these workers might get their jobs back."

It's apparently "Godzilla reboot news day." This morning we learned that Frank Darabont will be doing a final rewrite on the script for director Gareth Edwards' reboot of Godzilla, along with the news that two of the film's producers are battling Legendary Pictures to stay onboard the project. We actually know very little about the redo beyond the fact that Edwards is tackling Godzilla with a grounded, realistic tone (ie. what would it be like if this monster actually appeared in real life and started terrorizing cities?), but today word has surfaced concerning the film's firm production start date, shooting locations, and which actors the studio and Edwards are looking at to take on the lead role. Hit the jump for Godzilla details galore.
This bounty of Godzilla news comes from a few different sources. Spurned by a buried bit of info in Heat Vision's Godzilla article that broke word of Joseph Gordon-Levitt being in consideration for the lead role, Variety's Justin Kroll listed off the actors that are being considered for the project: Gordon-Levitt, Henry Cavill, Scoot McNairy (Argo), and Caleb Landry Jones (X-Men: First Class). Kroll specified that Gordon-Levitt and Cavill are "studio choices," while McNairy and Jones are "creative choices." I assume this means that Legendary and/or Warner Bros. are keen on the more well known actors, while Edwards and his creative collaborators are leaning towards the latter two. Shortly after this story broke, though, Heat Vision's Borys Kit clarified that Gordon-Levitt has, in actuality, already passed on the project, leaving Cavill, McNairy, and Jones as the remaining candidates.
McNairy had one hell of a 2012, making scene-stealing turns in Ben Affleck's thriller Argo and the Brad Pitt crime drama Killing Them Softly. He would also appear to have an edge on the other contenders, as he starred in Edwards's previous film Monsters. As for Jones, he's decidedly younger than the other actors but has been popping up more and more on these types of shortlists following his work in X-Men: First Class and Contraband. Cavill is still a bit of an unknown quantity as far as leading a big budget feature, but studios seem to be betting on the guy to connect with audiences as Superman in this summer's Man of Steel. Kroll cautions that no offers have been made as the script is still being worked on (see: Darabont story), but these appear to be the actors that are being looked at to bring Godzilla to a new generation of fans.
It's not a shock that Gordon-Levitt passed, as the actor is plenty busy at the moment. In addition to readying his directorial debut Don Jon's Addiction for its Sundance debut in a couple of weeks, he is also reportedly among those being considered for Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy.
More Godzilla news comes courtesy of AICN, who reports that the film's exact production start-date is March 14th, at which point filming will apparently take place in Vancouver and Hawaii under the working title "Nautilus." With Darabont hard at work on the script and production slated to begin in just a couple of short months, expect firm casting news sooner rather than later. Godzilla is set to hit theaters on May 16, 2014.

Ayotte, Shaheen write Kerry about missing journalist James Foley
Rochester native Foley missing in Syria
U.S. senators from New Hampshire and Texas are asking the State Department to step up efforts to find two freelance journalists missing in Syria.
Thirty-nine-year-old James Foley, who is from Rochester, N.H., was last seen in November in northwest Syria. Austin Tice, a 31-year-old former Marine from Texas, disappeared in August.
In a letter Thursday, Sens. Jeanne Shaheen and Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire and Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz of Texas urged the State Department to use every means available to find the men. They also urged Secretary of State John Kerry to continue raising the issue of U.S. citizens being held in Syria with Russian officials and to make the issue a priority at the proposed peace talks in Geneva.
"As the months continue with no further information regarding Mr. Tice's or Mr. Foley's whereabouts or welfare, we ask for your continued personal attention to these cases," they wrote.
Foley disappeared in Syria on Nov. 22 while he was in Idlib Province. He was working as a contributor to GlobalPost, which reported it found "strong evidence Mr. Foley is being held by the Syrian government," the letter said.
Tice has been missing since Aug. 13. "We understand that his whereabouts remain unknown at this time, although your department has indicated that they continue to believe Mr. Tice is being held in Syrian government custody," the senators wrote to Kerry.

Research Summary:
The Francesconi lab investigates the chemistry of technetium (Tc) and the lanthanides. As Tc-99m, technetium is the most widely used isotope in the nuclear medicine clinic for diagnosis of disease. The Francesconi lab, in collaboration with Diatide and Schering, has identified the structures of two recent targeted Tc-99m radiopharmaceuticals, AcuTect™ and NeoTect™ that are now in the clinic for imaging Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and lung tumors, respectively. The lab is transitioning to radiotherapy applications employing rhenium-188 (Re-188), the third row congener of Tc, as well as radiolanthanides.
The isotope Tc-99 is a major fission product of uranium-235 and is found in radioactive waste tanks from the production of plutonium in the 1940-1950s. The redox activity of Tc hampers the separation of Tc-99 from spent fuel rods and radioactive tank waste and also presents a problem in the identification of a suitable wasteform for Tc-99. To address these important needs of the country, the Francesconi lab is investigating the speciation, chemistry and stability of Tc-99 incorporated into metal oxide matrices. The lab is also employing polyoxometalates that are nanometer sized transition metal oxide aggregates, to reduce pertechnetate (Tc(VII)), the Tc species extracted from spent fuel rods, to lower valent states and to stabilize the low valent Tc species.
The lab also works on a project to study speciation of lanthanides that are incorporated into polyoxometalates. Lanthanide ions are important in applications as luminescent probes, catalysts and as radioactive isotopes, for therapy of diseases. Understanding the speciation of lanthanides "anchored" in polyoxometalates is important for development of improved luminescent materials and catalysts as well as new separations agents for radiolanthanides.

An Arizona aircraft museum reckons it has taken the record for the launch of the biggest ever paper plane: a 45ft (13.7m) long monster which glided to Earth last week from a height of 2,703ft (824m).
Pima Air & Space Museum's hefty 800lb (363kg) Arturo's Desert Eagle needed a helicopter to haul its 24ft (7.3m) wingspan off the ground, but video of the release indicates it really did fly at up to 98mph (158km/h), even if footage of what we imagine was a lively landing isn't yet available.
The aircraft was named in honour of Tucson lad Arturo Valderamo, 12, (pictured below with the Desert Eagle), who won a competition organised by the museum, challenging six-to-14-year-olds to fold and fly a paper plane as far as possible.
Pima Air & Space Museum executive director Yvonne Morris said of the historic launch: "The arresting visual of the paper airplane in flight rekindled the childhood creativity in all of us." ®
Arturo's Desert Eagle was constructed from "paper-based graphic board" Falconboard, which is made up of "an engineered paper core and water-based adhesives". Disappointingly, the aircraft's structure appears to contain no paper straws whatsoever.

text: I'm cutting a good 30 minutes of typing and ranting down to the chase: A recent tire swap visit to Perillo BMW in downtown Chicago (had to go there for insurance reasons--long story) yielded the following wheel damage. The wheels went in clean and were indicated as such on the pre-existing damage signoff sheet but came out as shown in the attached pictures. The shop foreman, Darren (sp?) claims this is pothole damage and that he sees it all the time. He's never seen damage like this from wheel/tire service in his XX years of car service. Of particular note is how intelligent potholes in Chicago are getting. I have multiple degrees in hard biological science and think people should be aware of how quickly these potholes are evolving. One pothole in particular nearly unscrewed the lug nuts on one of my wheels. Pretty soon they'll want the right to vote. Am I crazy, or is this utter BS? I already have a call into BMW NA and was told that my complaint would be forwarded to the appropriate channels, but they didn't want the pictures when I offered. Rick For those who frequent Bimmerfest, yes, I posted there as well.

Using the GorillaPod Original Camera Tripod
with Point and Shoot Cameras
We spend a lot of time playing around with GorillaPods and over the past few years we've gotten GorillaPod positioning down to a science. Here is our guide for how to get the most out of your GorillaPod Original flexible camera tripod.
The flexible joints of GorillaPod Original can bend and rotate 360°, which offers infinite positioning possibilities for your point and shoot camera. If you position your camera tripod legs correctly, you camera can stay secure and balanced for hours.
Step 1: Stabilize the left and right sides
Secure one leg to the left of your camera, and then secure one leg to the right of your camera. By positioning one leg to the left and one to the right, you prevent the camera from slipping sideways.
Step 2: Prevent the camera from moving forwards or backwards
The third tripod leg should be used to prevent the camera from slipping forwards or backwards. By positioning one leg directly in front of your camera, you prevent the camera from drooping, slipping or sliding forward.
Conversely, place the third leg directly behind the camera if you feel it tilting backwards.
Step 3: Adjust your camera
Once the GorillaPod legs are secure, grip the GorillaPod Original with one hand. With your other hand, adjust the position of your camera so the subject of your photo is perfectly framed. Better photographs in three easy steps!
FREE Universal Smartphone Holder Tripod Adapter included so you can use this tripod with most point and shoot cameras and also with most smartphone cameras (without the case) like:

Author Notes: Jean Anderson applies the magic of slow-roasting to a traditional Portuguese preserved red pepper sauce, in this genius recipe from her cookbook The Food of Portugal. Use it to marinate chicken or pork, sauce grilled fish and vegetables, and top pizzas and sandwiches. —Genius Recipes
Serves: about 1 1/4 cups
8 medium sweet red peppers, washed, cored, seeded and cut lengthwise into strips about 1″ wide
2 tablespoons coarse or kosher salt
2 large garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1/3 cup olive oil (about)
- Arrange a layer of pepper strips in the bottom of a shallow bowl no more than 9 inches in diameter; sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon of the salt; now add 7 more layers of pepper strips, sprinkling each with 3/4 teaspoon salt. Let stand uncovered at room temperature for at least 12 hours. Drain off excess liquid.
- Turn on the oven to its keep warm-setting (250º to 275º F.). Place the bowl of peppers, still uncovered, in the oven and roast 2 to 2 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally, until all juices have been absorbed, the peppers are soft, and the skin pulls away easily from the flesh. If you start to notice them drying out, cover them with foil for the remainder of the time. Remove and cool to room temperature. Now peel the skin from each pepper strip and discard. Place the garlic and the pepper strips in the work bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, or in an electric blender cup, and add about half of the oil; buzz nonstop about 30 seconds, scrape down the sides, and buzz 30 seconds more. With the motor running, drizzle in enough of the remaining oil to make a paste slightly softer than whipped butter. Churn 60 seconds until absolutely smooth.
- Note: If you have neither food processor nor blender, you'll have to grind the garlic and peppers to paste as the Portuguese women do–with a mortar and pestle. You must then add the olive oil very slowly, drop by drop at first, beating hard to incorporate.
- Transfer to a small jar with a tight-fitting lid and store in the refrigerator. Allow to come to room temperature before serving.

Exactly what I was going to recommend. Seems we're getting so "social media'd" that we have become reluctant to talk to people.
Yes thats what i will do in the next few days and see what they say, all they can say is no and i will have to look at something else.

We Go Behind the Scenes at Goose Island Beer Co., Chicago
Your ticket into the secret world of boozemaking.
Stepping inside the Goose Island Beer Co.'s Fulton Street brewery, which lies on the outskirts of Chicago's West Loop neighborhood, I was struck by the sweet, bready aroma that saturated the warm, humid air. The heat was intense—the brewery runs 24/7 to meet demand—but the smell was welcoming. Goose Island's communications manager, Mark Mahoney, was leading the way; he had invited me to visit for a rare private tour of the facility, which is not typically open to the public.
Ever since the company's sale last year to Anheuser-Busch InBev, the site has taken on new meaning—as much for the company itself as among the craft-beer enthusiasts who have long admired Goose Island's ambitious lineup of brews. Production of Goose Island's more widely consumed beers like 312 Urban Wheat Ale and Honker's Ale has been moved to two other A-B breweries, both in the Northeast, allowing Fulton Street to focus on Goose's Vintage Ales and Bourbon County lines and, more recently, the brewery's experimental one-off projects known as the Fulton & Wood series. If the Goose Island Beer Co. has a spiritual center, then this building is surely it.
Mahoney introduced me to Claudia Jendron, one of several young and talented brewers who work at the brewery on Fulton Street (being a female brewer, she goes by the much-more-fun-to-say title of "brewster"). Jendron recently collaborated with two other brewers on En Passant, a Fulton & Wood series beer that took inspiration from the Old Fashioned cocktail. The limited release was flavored with blood orange during fermentation to give the English mild rye ale a potent citrus zest.
Brewers have been given free rein to take chances with these projects, which are distributed primarily in Chicago and disappear once the last pint is drunk. Jendron accompanied us on my tour, which winded its way through the towering facility and even crossed Fulton Street, in order to pay a visit to the heart of Goose Island's burgeoning barrel-aged beer program—which, after a big recent expansion, is now the biggest in America.

We keep a bucket under each sink to catch any leaks. Saturday we were getting something from under the kitchen sink when we noticed that the catch bucket was full. Uh-oh, we have a leak.
After some time, I was able to determine that the leak was coming from the hot water supply to the faucet. After several un-install and re-install of the hot water supply line to the faucet, I remained unsuccessful in stopping the leak. I decided I would go to Home Depot on Sunday morning and get a new supply line.
As planned, I went to Home Depot the next morning and got the new supply line. Thinking that the cold water side might leak soon as well, I bought two replacement lines. The hot water side was easily replaced. Not so with the cold water side ... I couldn't even screw the new line onto the valve outlet. When I reinstalled the old supply line I had taken off, it leaked. So now I was committed to replacing the cold supply line.
Further inspection showed that the valve outlet was tapered, unlike on the hot side. When I had replaced the faucet years ago, I had gone to Ace Hardware and just grabbed two faucet supply lines. It turned out that those were for tapered outlets. I bet there was an adapter on the cold side which I unwittingly discarded when I installed the then-new lines. The taper fit the cold side just fine, and I thought they fit the hot side. If I keep the line (with the taper) fairly straight at the valve outlet, the leak was negligible. And so it went that way for years.
This time I went to Home Depot and it seems they only sell the type that is flat and not tapered. The flat type fit the hot side perfectly, but could not be threaded onto the taper on the cold side. Another trip to Home Depot and their helpful plumbing specialist pointed me the solution I needed: an adapter. The adapter converts the taper to a flat, allowing me to use the same type of supply line on both the hot side and the cold side.
So the lessons are: (1) The valve outlets on the hot supply and cold supply under your sink may not be the same: one may be tapered and the other flat (they'll look different on close inspection). (2) There are different faucet supply lines sold; if it's for a tapered fitting, it will say so on the tag. (3) If you have a leak on one side and not the other, this may be the problem. A supply line for a taper will fit a flat, but will leak. A supply line for a flat will not fit a taper (it didn't for me). (4) If one of your valves have a tapered outlet, you can get an adapter to convert it to a flat.

Not Just Any Photos
In order to make sure the Bible Lands PhotoGuide had adequate coverage of each biblical location, we supplemented our own photos with the work of some professional photographers. Not surprisingly, these photos are some of the most beautiful in the PhotoGuide. Yet as we went through their catalogues looking for photos, we found that not every photo was suitable for the PhotoGuide. This is because the PhotoGuide is focused on teaching you about the biblical and historical significance of a site rather than just offering you an attractive image.
While it is certainly possible for an attractive image to be useful for teaching, we were surprised how often the artistic shot was not necessarily the most illustrative shot. You see, an artist may look at a site and choose an angle which offers the most dramatic composition, while a different angle might offer a better view of the site's most significant features. For example, a photographer might be drawn to a site's beautiful Byzantine-era ruins while ignoring the much less impressive remains which can tell you something about the site during the biblical period. Thus, the best postcard image is not necessarily the best image for a dictionary of biblical locations.
We were therefore very selective when it came to licensing photos from other photographers. If the photo didn't help us explain something important about the site, we typically chose not to use it, even if it happened to be stunning from a purely aesthetic standpoint.
One of the articles which offers a particularly good mix of photos which are both aesthetically striking and instructionally helpful is the one on "Heptapegon" or "Tabgha." Heptapegon is the ancient name of the site, meaning "seven springs," while Tabgha is the modern name. It's a site at the northwest corner of the Sea of Galilee where tradition locates Jesus' feeding of the five thousand, sermon on the mount, and reinstatement of Peter. Three separate churches commemorate the three events, and the relatively undeveloped setting makes it easy to envision them happening there.
In addition to our own photographs, we licensed some beautiful shots from an Israeli photographer named Hanan Isachar, including this aerial shot showing the Church of the Multiplication of Loaves and Fishes (center) and the Church of the Primacy of Peter (right). The PhotoGuide article then moves from this orienting photo to detail photos of each church.
This same photographer also captured this shot of a crowd seated on the Mount of Beatitudes. Their modern dress aside, this shot really gives you a feel for what it would have been like to hear Jesus deliver a sermon here.
Many dictionaries which teach you about a site settle for one or two token photos which do not necessarily add much to your understanding of that site. The PhotoGuide seeks to use informative articles, illustrative photos, and detailed captions to give you a vivid understanding of a site's biblical and historical significance. If a photo didn't further that goal, it simply didn't make the cut.

The Lindenwood University Department of Theatre will continue its Mainstage Season with "Scrooge…the Musical," a musical adaptation of the holiday favorite, "A Christmas Carol," by Charles Dickens. The book, music, and lyrics are by Leslie Bricusse.
Performances are 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Dec. 4, 5, and 6 and at 2 p.m. on December 7. Ticket prices are $20 for platinum seating, $15 for orchestra, $12 for parterre, and $10 for balcony seating.
This is a delightful musical adaptation of Charles Dickens's novel. This timeless heart-warming tale once again returns for the holidays, only this time it is set to music. Cold-souled Ebenezer Scrooge learns to embrace the "true Christmas spirit" and that mankind must help one another as he survives a series of revelations by the ghosts of past, present and future.
Folks might not have had much to sing about in 1840s England, but this musical will make you believe otherwise. This holiday favorite is fun for the whole family.
The performances are held in the Bezemes Family Theatre, located in new J. Scheidegger Center for the Arts, 2300 West Clay Street, St. Charles, Mo., 63301.
