Finding our common bonds
As we gather together today with family, friends and in-laws — reaching across the table to grab a warm Parker House roll, scooping out a spoonful of mashed potatoes and then dumping the turkey gravy in the center pool, adding a slice of Ocean Spray and modest bit of Mom's cranberry relish, carrots, peas, creamed onions, then carving slices of white and dark and finally stuffing the last corner of the special-occasion plate with rice stuffing — may we suggest a conversational strategy that best suits this American holiday? That is:
Give it a rest, already.
Sure, this past election has been divisive and passionate, and, sure, it's only been a couple of weeks.
But relax. It's done.
Team Blue, don't gloat. Team Red, put the bitter rhetoric on ice. The ominous campaign ads will recede further into memory. (Ask the Lord's blessing for that). The lawn signs are gone.
So give it a rest. Some suggestions:
When Uncle Clarence starts to rattle on about secession from the formerly great United States, just smile and steer the conversation to something other than the fate of all that's holy in the free world. (Hey, that new James Bond movie is terrific!)
When Aunt Lillian squirts a dab of instant whip cream on her slice of pumpkin pie, then launches into an impromptu analysis of African-American voting patterns and 120-percent voter turnout in Philadelphia and Ohio precincts, just ask about her sister's health. Keep asking follow-up questions along the same line. (So, will she get in-home nursing care during her recovery? What's the name of the doctor?)
When cousin Jane cranks up about free contraceptives, the War on Women and male intransigence, take a deep breath. Extend an olive branch when you reach across the table with a forkful of sweet potatoes. Divert the conversation. (Is Daniel Craig the best Bond ever?)
Hear the word Benghazi? Think quick: Blurt out random compliments about sister Donna's mincemeat pie. (Scump-diddly-umtious! Where'd you get the recipe?)
When Aunt Sandra steers the conversation toward photo IDS and the correlation between America today and the breakup of the Soviet Union in the 1990s, nod your head emphatically and drive the conversation onto another track. (Wow, "Skyfall" got a 92 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes!)
Just check your muskets and hatchets at the door. Eat up. Count your blessings. Accentuate the ties that bind. Be thankful for family, good company and good health. Then make plans to hit the big-box stores at midnight or to go see the great, new Bond film. (Early-evening shows in many theaters).

Following on from an earlier question: Is there a way to download security updates and notify admin without installing the update?
A large number of packages interact with Apache (especially PHP) such that security updates to those packages can cause the server to attempt to restart the service. While my earlier question was answered, I'm now thinking that I need a different solution.
So - is there are way to allow security updates to be applied using apt, have an email sent to an administrator, and, most importantly, prevent services from being restarted at the end of the installation/update process? The administrator will then be able to log in and restart the service manually.

Mia Marie White
Bright Lights, Big Future
Some people decompress through exercise and extracurriculars.
Mia Marie White '10 prefers karaoke.
White discovered the healing power of off-key singing during her post-college work with at-risk youths in Ann Arbor, Mich. Monday night karaoke provided a much-needed break from the seriousness of her job. It also revealed a hidden side of White's personality; it turns out she's "a lot more of a ham" than she ever knew.
Now in her second year at Columbia Law School, the self-described ham is contemplating a career in entertainment law. Last fall, White landed an externship with the business and legal affairs department at VH1, where she drafted, edited, and negotiated performer and presenter agreements for the network's 2008 Hip Hop Honors awards show. She also helped sort out the legal agreements for Celebrity Fit Club's next season and conducted research for a litigation project with Viacom, VH1's parent company.
"It was an incredible experience," says White, who is a member of the Law School's Entertainment, Arts, and Sports Law Society. "It has inspired a confidence in me to know this is something I can do, and do well."
White sacrificed karaoke Mondays when she came to the Law School, but she has found a new outlet in weekly improvisation classes. "Improv is about just being able to laugh at yourself," White explains. Although the cases she reads for class are often interesting, she says, "they generally don't make me laugh."

Soon the atmosphere at T.J. Samson Hospital will be dramatically different. Starting in the parking lot, jazz music will be played as a form of music therapy, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
"Planetree Hospital is a hospital that was actually developed to embrace a patient-centered care model. And what we mean by a patient-centered care is that it embraces the patient and puts them at the center of their healthcare plan," says Dana Sheer, of Planetree Hospitals.
T.J. Samson's new approach will incorporate more patient family involvement and more patient information (including keeping patients records at their bedsides, instead of on the door) and a caring touch approach for nurses at the Glasgow-based hopital.
Sheer says, "The back-end benefit is that you have much better patient outcomes. Patient-centered care actually means better patient outcomes. Patient-centered care also means greater employee satisfaction."
The hospital recognizes many patients with cancer or other serious illnesses turn to alternate forms of medicine for treatment. The Planetree approach will offer these to patients in a hospital setting.
Sheer says, "That's blending the best of Western medicine and bringing in things we know patients are using, such as acupuncture and massage and aromatherapy and making that a vital part of the care plan."
The Institute of Medicine says hospitals should fundamentally change the way healthcare is delivered. T.J. Samson says they want to be thought of as a whole-listic hospital- one that looks at the patients whole needs and not just medical.
Sheer says, "Looking at our hospitals as a place of health and wellness, as opposed to a place of sickness."
T.J. Samson is the first hospital in Kentucky to adopt the holistic patient-centered care. Hospital officials say some of the new treatments will not be covered by insurance, but that remains to be seen. They also say they will be conducting focal groups in the community to find out exactly what people want to see when they come in. T.J. Samson will begin implementing the new policies soon and all the changes should be complete in 3-4 years.

Optec, Inc. is located in Lowell, Michigan, just east of the Grand Rapids metropolitan area. For many years now the company has been in the forefront of research and development of astronomical, visibility, and video/CCD microscopy optical instruments for both amateurs and professional alike.
Optec was incorporated in 1979 and is the successor to DOAA Enterprises; a Detroit based company founded by an Oakland University college student, Gerald Persha. Under the leadership of Persha, Optec has grown from a small basement operation to a corporation employing 7 technicians, machinists, and sales staff. Optec's roots are founded strongly in astronomical research instrumentation with products such as the SSP line of solid-state photometers, photomultiplier tube and CCD photometers, the patented TCF- temperature compensated focuser and the recent addition of the Pyxis 3-inch, a high precision camera field rotator for large telescopes.
Optec has a support staff of many diverse and qualified individuals, who take great pride in their accomplishments at the company.
Optec maintains and uses the Optec Observatory, a small observatory and testing laboratory for Optec's astronomical product line. Using a Meade 10" LX200 telescope and CCD cameras from SBIG. In addition to the Optec SSP single channel photometer line, the Optec Observatory is fully computer controlled with separate control room and observing deck. Recent additions to the observatory now allow remote operations of the telescope, photometer, and CCD camera control software.
In addition to the astronomical product line, Optec designs and manufactures optical couplers for video/CCD microscopy, atmospheric visibility measuring instruments such as the Model LPV transmissometer and the NGN integrating nephelometer. These unique instruments are used to monitor the air quality in many of the national parks in the USA as part of the Improve Network.

STEUBENVILLE - The Fort Steuben Mall's annual holiday shopping contest, "Gifts of Gold," begins at 6 a.m. Friday.
This year, shoppers will have to spot 11 clues tucked in common areas throughout the mall and use the information they provide to correctly identify the 11 items secreted inside the mall's Gold Box.
"They'll have to actually guess what the 11 items are," said Steph McVicker, the mall's marketing director. She added the winner will be chosen at random from all eligible entry forms at noon on Dec. 21.
"Shoppers will walk around the mall and find the clues hanging around, then make their guesses as to what they think the items are. If they guess correctly, they get to be entered in the contest."
For an entry form to be considered eligible, all 11 items in the Gold Box must be correctly identified.
Mall merchants participating in the "Gifts of Gold" promotion include AT&T, Bath & Body Works, Carmike Cinemas, Crafts from the Heart, J.C. Penney, King's Jewelry, Piercing Pagoda, Regis Hair Salon, the Ville Restaurant, Verizon Wireless and Wal-Mart Supercenter.
The grand prize winner will receive the contents of the Gold Box, valued at more than $1,100. Second prize is a $500 Fort Steuben Mall gift card and third prize, a $250 mall gift card.
Prizes must be claimed by 10 a.m. Christmas Eve. If prize winners fail to claim their prizes by 10 a.m. Christmas Eve, or if their entry forms are incomplete or incorrect, an alternative winner will be chosen from among all the entries submitted.
McVicker said the contest is intended to "drive traffic around the mall."
"This one, in particular, will hopefully get people into the stores and see what they think the items are," she said.
The mall also has set the hours area children will be able to visit Santa Claus, who is appearing at the mall daily through Christmas Eve. Santa's workshop will be closed today for Thanksgiving, but will be up-and-running from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday; from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday. Beginning Monday, Santa's Workshop hours will be noon to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturdays. He'll be in the workshop from 11 a.m. through 7 p.m. each Sunday in December. Special hours will be in effect Dec. 17-21 - 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Christmas Eve, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
Entry forms and complete rules for the contest are available at the mall's customer service station. For information, contact McVicker at (740) 264-7781.

I want to animate Model1 (an aicraft) and I want an object, Model2 (a sphere), to follow it in translation and rotation, as it is a part of this aircraft.
With the following code (I use one or two tutorials to write it) everything seems good when you just change just one angle at the time. The sphere gently follows the aircraft, but if you change more than one angle at the same time, everything goes wrong.
I wonder if it's not a gimbal lock problem? But I use quaternions? Or maybe I haven't understood all this stuff?
My code is below:
protected override void Update(GameTime gameTime)
// Allows the game to exit
if (GamePad.GetState(PlayerIndex.One).Buttons.Back == ButtonState.Pressed)
// Command input to airplane
float yokeUpDown = 0.0f;
float yokeRightLeft = 0.0f;
float RollRotation = 0.01f;
//make quaternion rotation matrix of airplane
Quaternion additionalAircraftRotation = Quaternion.CreateFromAxisAngle(new Vector3(0, 0, 1), yokeUpDown) * Quaternion.CreateFromAxisAngle(new Vector3(0, 1, 0), yokeRightLeft) *Quaternion.CreateFromAxisAngle(new Vector3(1, 0, 0), RollRotation);
//increase or decrease aircraft rotation
spacecraftRotation = spacecraftRotation * additionalAircraftRotation;
// make vector3 sphere angle rotation
sphereAngle.X = sphereAngle.X + yokeUpDown;
sphereAngle.Y = sphereAngle.Y + yokeRightLeft;
sphereAngle.Z = sphereAngle.Z + RollRotation;
// make rotation quaternion for sphere
Quaternion additionalSphereRotation = Quaternion.CreateFromAxisAngle(new Vector3(0, 0, 1), sphereAngle.X) * Quaternion.CreateFromAxisAngle(new Vector3(0, 1, 0), sphereAngle.Y) * Quaternion.CreateFromAxisAngle(new Vector3(1,0, 0), sphereAngle.Z);
//relative position of the sphere to the aircraft
Vector3 translationSphere = new Vector3(-distance_Aircraft_Sphere, 0,0);
translationSphere = Vector3.Transform(translationSphere, additionalSphereRotation);
sphereposition = aircraftposition + translationSphere;
// "VectorToAdd" = direction of the airplane
Vector3 rotatedAircraftVector = Vector3.Transform(vectorToAdd, spacecraftRotation);
aircraftposition += moveSpeedAircraft * rotatedAircraftVector;
sphereposition += moveSpeedAircraft * rotatedAircraftVector;

Rashi Breishis 23:1 says that when Sarah was 20 she was beautiful as when she was 7. Mishlei 31:30 says שקר החן והבל היפי אשה יראת ה' היא תתהלל. Why is Rashi saying that Sarah was beautiful if it is vain?

The Pele Yoetz answers this question by saying that if one can get a beautiful wife and she is also fearing of God then that is the best combination. I think he says the reason is that a pretty wife will help her husband from sinning.
The rule of שקר החן is for someone who cannot find any God fearing wife except a non-pretty one, in that case we say שקר החן.

Ray has a spectacular how-to on 3D sculpting pumpkins, he writes – "If you have yet to try and carve a pumpkin in a 3-D manner you need to. Its fun and everybody enjoys a cool pumpkin. Unfortunately they begin to rot less than a week after carving so be sure to take plenty of pictures. You can experiment with ways of preserving them but I find nothing works better than a nice photo. Some chefs that I have carved for put lemon juice on the faces to help slow down the natural molding process that will occur.
Picking out the right pumpkin is very important. You need a pumpkin with a thick wall. To get this kind you will have to choose one that is very heavy for its size. Also avoid perfectly round pumpkins and opt for ones that have a protruding ridge that sticks out on one side. These shapes make nice faces as you could imagine how difficult it would be to carve a 3-D face onto a shallow flat surface. " [via] – Link.

TeXLive and MiKTeX are different TeX distributions with own, different package manager. So install both distributions with their installation program. For example TeXLive uses pearl that MikTeX can not use in the same way ...
If you want to use special packages on both distributions you can create a local texmf tree, install the packages (following the readme files) in your local texmf tree and use this local texmf tree in both distributions.

|0 (see Kurt)
|First Appearance:

|Catch Rate:
|(8x or 1x)
The Love Ball (ラブラブボール Love Love Ball) should be used on a Pokémon of the same species and opposite gender as the player's Pokémon. If these statistics are followed, then the ball is known to be 8x more effective in catching the wild Pokémon than would a regular Poké Ball. If another Pokémon is a different species than or the same gender as the player's Pokémon, then it will only be as effective as a normal Poke Ball. The ball is also found to not work when a Pokémon has no gender, or is genderless. In this situation, the Love Ball will then take after the characteristics of an ordinary Poke Ball. It is characterized by a pink top with a white heart going up the middle.
Catch Rate
- 8x if used on a species and gender
- 1x other usage

What sort of help can I get if I have a learning disability?
This page tells you more about the help that you can get if you have a Learning Disability.
For information about how to get help if you have a Learning Disability, please see the easy to read page about services for adults with a learning disability.
Community Options Team
This team can help you find things to do in the day, evening or at weekends. This could be college courses, adult education classes, leisure activities, social activities or work placements.
We have a leaflet that can tell you more. It is called 'Community Options Teams - enabling people with a learning disability to live the life they choose'.
Person centred planning
Person centred planning is a way of supporting you to make choices and changes in your life. It is a way of helping you to plan your future and organise any support and services you may need.
We use person centred planning to help you deal with changes that you may not have been able to make by yourself.
Short breaks
Short breaks can be a short stay away from your family home or staying in your home while your carer has a break. This could be for a few hours, days or weeks, depending on your needs.
Direct payments can be used to pay for short breaks. We have a leaflet called 'An easy guide to Direct Payments' that can tell you more.
Support to move away from your family home
This might be Supported Living. This is when you live in your own home and have support to help you.
It could be living by yourself or with other people.
You can find out more about supported living on other websites. For example, on the websites for Supporting People (part of Birmingham City Council), and Mencap
Click here to go to the housing support page on the Mencap website.
Shared Lives
This used to be called 'Adult Placement'. It means sharing an ordinary home with the other people who live there. They give you the help you need.
You can find out more about this on the easy to read Birmingham Shared Lives web page. Click here to go to the Birmingham Shared Lives web pages.
Foster carers
Foster carers who want to carry on caring for a young person after they are 18 years old, might be able to become an Adult Placement Carer. This would mean the young person could carry on living with them.
You can find out more about this on the Becoming a Shared Lives carer web page. Click here to go to the Becoming a Shared Lives carer web page.

The 9 Most Unintentionally Depressing Pro Wrestling Gimmicks
#4. Xanta Klaus
Christmas and wrestling go together like whiskey and Easter egg hunting. So it was only natural for the WWE to come up with the perfect tie-in to the season.
Xanta Klaus
Uploaded by Wrestlegameshow. - News videos hot off the press.
That's right -- it's the anti-Santa Claus, the Xanta Klaus!
Introduced at a Christmas Pay Per View event called In Your House: Seasons Beatings, the character began by posing as the real Santa, handing out presents and being super Santa-like. Then he suddenly went from St. Nick to St. Dick and began handing out smackdowns like they were candy canes.
Xanta Claus & Ted DiBiase attack Savio Vega
Uploaded by TSteck160. - Check out more sports and extreme sports videos.
Everything about this creepy bastard was frighteningly backwards. The traditional red and white became red and black, he lived at the South Pole and every Christmas he stole presents from good children. After making only one more televised appearance, Xanta Klaus disappeared forever, meaning he is definitely still out there. If you find burnt presents and reindeer shit in your stocking this Christmas, you can be sure that this is the jerk behind it.
Also, sometimes he punches people in the face.
#3. Amish Roadkill
There came a point in 1996 when Extreme Championship Wrestling executives figured out there was one demographic conspicuously missing from their viewership: the Amish. In their scramble to remedy this miscarriage of justice, they came up with a character who really exemplified the best of the simple folk: Amish Roadkill.
Constructed entirely from adipose tissue, back hair and a metric fuck-ton of shame, absolutely nothing about Amish Roadkill made any sense whatsoever.
Sure, we can buy the idea that an Amish guy might get into wrestling for the spirited competition -- we could even get that he'd be good at it. It wouldn't be the first time a fake Mennonite stole our hearts.
Or the last.
But this was freaking ECW -- better known as the Jerry Springer Show of professional wrestling -- and the character who started out as "Roadkill, the Angry Amish Warrior" was quickly rechristened "Amish Roadkill" for simplicity's sake. Because, if you're like us, the first thing you think when you see a dead deer on the road is, "I wonder if it's Amish?"
The most unsettling aspect of Amish Roadkill was his vocabulary, which consisted of one word: "Chickens."
Why? Because chicken is tasty, that's why. Amazingly, this was enough for Roadkill's career and gimmick to last almost five years and he had the distinction of being one half of the final ECW Tag Team Champions before the company went bankrupt.
Who saw that one coming?
#2. Eugene
If there's room for that wheelchair kid to hook up with a hot cheerleader on Glee, then surely there must be a place for a mentally-challenged person to punch people in a wrestling ring, right? Maybe, but probably not if the best incarnation of "special" that the WWE comes up with is a surefire kick to the groin of people of people dealing with not-fake mental illnesses. Hey guys, meet Eugene!
While it was never explicitly stated by the WWE what was actually wrong with him, Eugene's permanently gormless expression and unfortunate habit of doing weird shit with his hands kind of let the audience know that this guy wasn't your run-of-the-mill wrestler. And it didn't help that he jumped up and down clapping in response to everything, or that his signature move of riding his opponent like a hobby horse.
Yeah, we're thinking this right here pretty much cancels out every positive human achievement of the last century.
The gimmick might have been salvageable if WWE had built him up as one of those quiet yet intelligent autistic people who will one day enslave us all. Unfortunately, WWE made Eugene less Rain Man and more Arnie from What's Eating Gilbert Grape?
Surprisingly, the character did not incite every fan in attendance to projectile vomit in rage or to lose faith in the goodness of humanity, even after one match portrayed the character getting beat mercilessly while commentators chuckled things like "Run Forrest!" and his opponent hit him on the head with a stick. But the real kicker is that even after the actor playing Eugene left the WWE for the WFX, he kept on playing the character. Only now he's "U-Gene."
#1. Phantasio
On the surface, Phantasio looks like the most horrifying mime ever conceived, like what you get when you mix Marcel Marceau, hallucinogens and body building. In reality, he was the WWE's pants-shittingly awful attempt at magic.
Oh yeah, that's new and fresh.
You would think that a magician wrestler would be sawing his opponents in half or making them disappear completely ... you know, something kind of menacing but cool. All Phantasio had was a hat that shot smoke, a stick that could catch on fire and some of the most flamboyant hand gestures ever witnessed in the history of hands. This is made all the more hilarious by the commentators, who sell every shitty illusion as though it was Jesus Christ himself performing them.
Phantasio WWE Debut
Uploaded by TSteck160. - Basketball, baseball, pro wrestling and more sports videos.
Just when you thought shit couldn't get any more awful, beneath that mask is an identically frightening face. And beneath that face was a silvery, two-meter long tapeworm that he apparently pulled out of his stomach, then smacked it onto the face of some unfortunate kid.
How exactly does this qualify as "magic"?
But the jewel in the crown of the preposterously idiotic farce that was Phantasio's debut was his finishing move, where he "magically" removed the underpants of his opponent and then used the element of surprise to pin him to the mat, which didn't have any homoerotic undertones whatsoever. Phantasio then proceeded to do the exact same thing to the innocent referee for absolutely no reason other than to appease his seemingly insatiable lust for men's underpants.
Penn and Teller finish their act the same way.

My code is something like:

The test is something like:
function test() {

controller = new Controller(dep0Mock, dep1Real);
My code is something like:
The test is something like:
For deciding if a test is a unit test or a functional test, I think I would consider the test's intent and how it is going to be used. I would look especially to practical differences caused by not mocking this dependency. Should this test be run frequently, or can it wait until after a new build is released to test? Does this test run quickly, even with the dependency? Is the dependency at least 99.9% reliable? Unit tests should be easy to run frequently, and they should very rarely fail unless there is a real bug. A unit test that fails due to a dependency is a problem.
However, this also depends on company culture, and I would recommend asking a more senior testing in your own company (if anyone is available). A good developer who has been there for a while might also have an opinion.
A unit test is a type of a functional test.
I am not sure what distinction you are trying to make, or why it is important to you.

Old School NES Controller Belt Buckle for $5.99
+ $1.99 shipping
NES Controller Belt Buckle
Brushed metal with enamel colors
Dimensions: 2" tall x 4" wide
Built in old skool cred
14 Comments add a comment
Gotta have it! Thanks!
Just nerded pit and bought two. One for me, and another for me.
Already forwarded this deal to every person I've ever watched "The Wizard" with. Too bad there's not an original NES Glove buckle. EPIC!
Had one of these for years, great for nostalgia, but for me not great for real use (but in my experience none of the buckles with the pin on the backside work well for my belts)
Kevin Keene? Anyone?
Oh yeah, now you've really sold me on it. Today's belt buckle is tomorrow's "Captain N: The Game Master" costume!
Please press my buttons!
I wonder if Howard has this.
@caffeine_dude: Yes he does. I don't remember which episode.
I own this and love when my wife does the Contra Code. POWERUP!
It's more expensive by a bunch ($30), but there are people who make an NES controller buckle from real NES controllers.
Having the actual controller as a belt buckle is far from practical, but it's fun to wear anyways. I got this back in high school when big fancy belt buckles were becoming a thing with my fellow students. I got a lot of weird looks, but comments were mostly positive.
@dpn0121: It's a shame that particular code won't help you in Contra :) Might still work with your wife, though...
@scoth: Ha I forgot the other left right, good catch
@caffeine_dude: Not sure, but Nester owns one.

How did the vos personal pronoun come to be? Is it etymologically related to vosotros in any way? Did it develop before or after the other personal pronouns used today (tú, usted, vosotros, etc)?

According to Wiktionary, vōs is the plural second-person pronoun in Latin. The Latin vōs became the singular second-person vos in Spanish, which was then pluralized by appending the -otros suffix to form vosotros (i.e., vos y otros).
The Spanish tú comes from tū, the singular second-person pronoun in Latin.
A previous question already explained that usted comes from vuestra merced.

Squexad 5V30
this wiki
Last updated: January 12, 2012
The Squexad 5V30 solar panel cooker has been designed in Spain, with early prototype work that began in 2008. The design takes a fairly unique approach of using reflectors that stack up together. Much like a telescope, the stacked reflectors extend upwards to the sun. The top reflector segment has quite a large solar exposure. When done cooking, the reflector panels slip out from each other and fold flat. Disassembled, it makes a relatively small package for transport.
There is not a lot of information on the company website showing the cooker in use. Some concerns may include the ability to easily check the cooking food, and such a tall profile may be tipsy in windy conditions.
The cooker uses a tray for the cooking pot to be placed under the reflector stack, enclosed in a plastic cooking bag.
Recent news and developments
- September 2011: A second workshop is taught about the solar cooker in Vilassar de Dalt, Barcelona, to construct the cooker from recycled cardboard. Two sizes were made, the smaller size reached 120°C(250°F), at a height of 30 cm. It was able to get to 80°C(175°F) in 30 seconds.

A way to honor DiNardo
February 23, 2013
To the editor: Steubenville has had so much bad publicity lately that I would like to make a suggestion that would give us a shot in the arm....
I will admit that I came on a little strong but I don't thinkthat this town ha\s to do anything to recover from an incident that happens daily around the world. And it really bothered me that with the track record sexual abuse that the catholic church has and the subsequent cover-ups they are not in position to offer clerical role models. They have a long way to go to heal their own discolored eye. My advice to all churches is to turn inward and stop the hypocracy that eminates from those who want to dictate their morals instead of leading by example. Tend to your own flock and quit deceiving. While your at it quit getting wealthy on the backs of working people that you have convinced that one of the tolls on the road to heaven is in your collection plate.

I would say Dean Martin could do more in removing a black eye from this town than anything related to any religious figures.

Go easy maverick!!!!!
No Way!!!! As a graduate myself and 4 other brothers and sisters also graduated from there as did one of my parents do not change the name. If there was ANYBODY that deserves it more it's Bishop Mussio. That would be more appropiate. No offense to Cardinal Denardo he was just born here. The Bishop WAS the" Diocese of Steubenville"......he created much of what we have today. He lived here, worked here and was Steubenville. Just because Dean was born here (and left) we are not know as DeanMartinville, Ohio . Kept the tradition we have little of it left!!!!!!!!!

This is totally absurd. What would this do to counter our recent black eye. Name a school in Texas after this pope to be. You like the guy that much you go kiss his ring. There is way to much canonization of people before they die. You want to make a change in the schools... campaign for a pope who doesn't cover up for ordained pedophiles.

I am looking for idioms or informal/slang/colloquial expression for some people that make you think that they are able of building a skyscraper, constructing a spaceship, playing the piano better than Mozart or something very fancy that requires remarkable skills, but when it comes to practice they prove to be completely inadequate.

There are tons of them. There's a whole sub-genre based roughly off the phrase "all talk (and no substance)". These generally have the form "all X, no Y".
Others culled from synonyms on the wictionary link below include:
My personal favorite from cattle country here in the USA is to say that a person is all hat and no cattle.
As a note to outsiders, for some people wearing a cowboy hat has become something of a cultural statement. Thus many people wear them who, if confronted with an actual cow, would have no clue which end the "moo" comes out.
I believe a good idiom that describes this situation is blowing your own trumpet.
braggart would be an appropriate and pretty generic term for such a person. This word would be appropriate in a formal or informal context. (Note that the verb "to brag" is pretty much synonymous with "to boast", so this is a pretty direct noun formation.)
From the examples you give, I would probably use the adjectives delusional and arrogant (narcissistic if you want to sound pompous, or cocky in slang) to describe such a person. For the former, an appropriate idiom might be:
He/she is on crack.
or even,
What is he/she smoking?
both alluding to the use of mind-altering drugs (though not usually literally).
Because the person can't actually do what they say they can, you could say that they cannot put their money where their mouth is:
I know you're looking for a colloquial idiom, but there does actually exist a (rare) word that means this very thing: jactator. It's a direct borrowing from the identical Latin word. The OED marks it as "obsolete rare-0", with the last citation given from back in the 18th century.
Somewhat more current and less rare is the related term jactation, whose sense 2 is "Boasting, bragging, ostentatious display." It is not marked as obsolete or rare, or even archaic. Here are that sense's citations:
Its pronuncation is /dʒækˈteɪʃən/ , and its entymology is:
I suspect that jactator has strong potential for all sorts of intentional misunderstandings in various wicked puns. :)
Probably only students of Latin or speakers of derived Romance tongues would understand its original meaning. For example, jactarse de algo is "to boast of something" in Spanish, and is a perfectly common use, not a rare one.
Google Ngrams shows scant but measurable use of jactator compared with somewhat more frequent use of jactation, which actually seems to be on the rise since 2000. It might be used in its pathology sense, though.
Scott Adams suggests "Topper".
What about "to have a big head"?
Some people can't walk the talk.
One of my favorites: Blowhard
Braggart, blowhard, and the more vulgar bullshitter all work well in daily, idiomatic American English.
Ten cent millionaire was my father's favorite expression for people who try to glorify themselves.

For example, France invaded Mexico (both times) when Mexico stopped some of their payments. What are some other examples?
According to this link, there are a few examples:
It is worth reading further, particularly around the points that these state inteventions had wider political motives than just about enforcing private debt repayments.
In 1923 the French and the Belgians occupied the Ruhr in Germany as a direct result of Germany repeatedly (and perhaps deliberately, to test French will) defaulting on reparation payments which were written into the Versailles Treaty.
Although not a "war", German civilians conducted a policy of passive resistance and several dozen were killed.
The occupation lasted two years, during which new terms were hammered out. In terms of its effectiveness, it rather backfired.
That's roughly how Egypt ended up part of the British Empire. They owed a bunch of money to England, didn't like being forced to pay, and tried to depose the government. The Brits didn't like that, and invaded. Note this is a rather simplistic (and thus eminiently debatable) explanation. See Wikipedia's entry on the 1882 Anglo-Egyptian War for a deeper discussion.

Editor not: A gathering of travel professionals from resorts across the country were in Snowmass Village last week to network, conduct business and ski and snowboard. The Mountain Travel Symposium, an annual conference for ski-resort professionals now in its 38th year, took place April 7-13.
A venture partner with a knack for anticipating "the next big thing" gave some tough love to ski industry officials on pricing and marketing Thursday during the Mountain Travel Symposium in Snowmass Village.
Erik Blachford said ski resorts are going to have to change some of their key methods of doing business to remain competitive, let alone grow, in the era of social media and mobile devices.
He praised the initiative by Aspen Skiing Co. and six other independent ski resorts for teaming to offer the Mountain Collective, a special ski pass that can be purchased hassle-free online. He said the ski industry needs to take the concept even further, possibly with a pre-paid pass that's good for any ski area. The ski industry might even want to establish its own currency, in a similar vein to frequent flyer miles, to attract more people into the sport.
Blachford gets hired by venture-capital firms to find and manage investments for them. He is also a founding team member and former CEO of Expedia, the online travel agency that helped revolutionize the travel business. The organizers of the Mountain Travel Symposium brought him in as a speaker to provide an outside eye and fresh perspective.
Blachford said the ski industry is geared toward the most affluent 3 percent or so of people on the planet, so strong growth will be difficult. He asked why the industry hasn't tried harder to draw new people into the sport by offering a "first-ever" free ski pass and loading it up with "goodies" that make it enticing, such as free ski and boot rentals.
When Ian Arthur, an executive of ski industry giant Intrawest, asked how the pass could be tracked so only true first-time skiers were using it, Blachford said he was missing the point. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Blachford said. Give away the pass, build goodwill and entice people to spend money on other items at your resorts, like hamburgers at the on-mountain restaurants, he said.
"What do you lose other than a little wear and tear on your rental equipment?" Blachford asked.
He also strongly advised ski resorts to make their lift tickets and vacation packages readily available on "supplier sites" such as Expedia rather than hoard them on their own sites.
"People want to shop how people want to shop. The industry can't control that," he said.
It's a lot to expect consumers of ski vacation to go to several individual resort websites to compare what is being offered, according to Blachford.
That said, resorts should use technology on their websites that is at least as good as the supplier sites or prospective customer will get frustrated.
The affluent aren't the kind of people who are patient and will pick up the phone to learn more if they can't get all the information online, he said.
Ski resorts also were encouraged by Blachford to use their existing customers to help promote themselves. Research indicates a 1-9-90 ratio among social-media users ‹ one person per 100 will actively post images and video; nine will do something with that information such as "like" it on Facebook or share it; and 90 will let the information flow past them without getting actively engaged, according to Blachford.
Ski area operators should find the "great evangelists" of the resorts and encourage them to share their images and video. It doesn't have to be expensive, he said. Often the evangelists will settle for exposure on a resort website, he predicted.
Like prior speakers at the conference, Blachford said technology is bringing sweeping changes to social media. We're on the cusp of seeing live streaming of high-quality video. People using special equipment such as the Google Glass, which is being tested, will be able to send a constant barrage of real-time video to their Facebook page of themselves skiing down Aspen
Mountain. And a lot of people out there believe their friends will want to watch every minute of their day.
"We are living in the most narcissistic time in human history," Blachford quipped. Fortunately, ski resorts are in a better position than most industries to take advantage of the instant-video trend because they have "one of the great experiential products in the world," he said.
All the mundane experiences likely to be showcased in instant-video streams "sort of bums me out," Blachford said, "then I think of skiing on a pow day with Google Glass or something else on and I'm streaming it back live and people are watching me, and I'm doing it and they're not, I'm thinking, ŒYeah that's some pretty basic, human stuff.'"
He advised marketing executives for ski resorts to enlist customers help by identifying customers who will draw attention, possibly even buy them a Google Glass and get them live streaming to the resort website.
One word of caution from Blachford was don't feature constant video of a 25-year-old hucking a cliff. "Know your audience," he said, and show video that will appeal to all aspects of the audience. And resorts must also realize they can't rely solely on posting incredible, live video to attract new customers. Broader marketing and sales efforts will still be required.
"Social media can turn people onto something but it can't close a sale," Blachford said.

A Phasic™ AR panel is integrated into the hood to be used as a neck gaiter or balaclava.
Arc'teryx builds in freedom. With articulated patterning, underarm gussets and stretch materials, the Fortrez moves easily with body. The hip length cut with drop back hem stays put under a harness or pack strap, and flatlock construction minimizes seam irritation. The two hand pockets are streamlined, and a small pocket on the sleeve is easily accessible.

UMWA in Action
UMWA congratulates Joe Main on confirmation as MSHA head
October 22, 2009
For immediate release?:
UMWA congratulates Joe Main on confirmation as MSHA head
United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) International President Cecil E. Roberts issued the following statement today:
"We congratulate Joe Main on the U.S. Senate's unanimous confirmation of him last night as Assistant Secretary of Labor for Mine Safety and Health. We sincerely believe that Joe's long experience as an advocate for miners' health and safety on the job will bring a refreshing change to an agency that for too long has favored production over strong enforcement of workplace safety and health in America's mines.
"The UMWA will continue to be the primary advocate for miners' health and safety. We understand that Joe has many challenges confronting him as he takes the helm, not least of which will be suspicion and confrontation from mine operators who are not used to vigorous enforcement of the law.
"Nothing can replace careful attention to strong safety and health practices in the workplace by both miners and management every day on the job to ensure that miners' lives and limbs are not put at risk. But with such strong and outspoken advocates of workplace health and safety as Joe Main, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis and President Obama on the side of working miners, we believe that those operators who in the past have chosen to put increased production ahead of miners' health and safety will no longer be allowed to get away with it.
"That is what miners have a right to expect from government watchdog agencies like MSHA. We will be working to make sure that is what they get from MSHA."

Top 10 Tips to Boost Your Chances of Getting Pregnant
9 of 11
Focus on Your Food
Specifically, soy. Soy acts like estrogen in the body, and can make it more difficult for sperm to swim and fertilize the egg. Read your food labels and try not to consume large amounts.
In addition, start loading up on folic acid by taking a daily prenatal vitamin. The Food and Drug Administration recommends all women trying to get pregnant fuel up on this B vitamin to help protect against serious birth defects that affect a fetus' brain and spinal column.

Bowling Green's City Commissioners and Mayor Bruce Wilkerson were sworn into their positions today.
While most of the commissioners are returning for another two-year term, one will be starting fresh January 1st.
We asked Rick Williams what his plans are going into the new year.
"Today is just set aside to welcome the people and see some faces and shake some hands and say thank you to a lot of people," Williams said.
Mayor Bruce Wilkerson and Commissioners Bill Waltrip and Melinda Hill were sworn in for another two-year term.
Joe Denning was unable to attend.
New Commissioner Rick Williams said this has been a goal for him and his family for a while.
"I want to be here and ready to go so that's my objective. I've been meeting with all the department heads and some of the other staff members getting a feel for what they do," Williams said.
"It's been truly a family event for our family. We've always been very close, but this made us even closer because we all got to work toward one goal and that was to get Rick elected," Rick's wife, Deborah Williams said.
Williams won't officially start his new position until the beginning of the year.
He replaces Slim Nash on the commission.
"Slim will be here to complete his term. He stays until December 31st. Kentucky law requires us to be sworn in on or before January 1st," Mayor Bruce Wilkerson said.
Nash's last meeting as city commissioner is Tuesday.
"Slim is genuinely a nice person. He cares a lot about this community. And he will be missed by a lot of people," said Commissioner Bill Waltrip.
"It could be any of us in two years. So my heart does go out to him. He was an integral part of our commission," Commissioner Melinda Hill said.
Williams said he's looking forward to his first city commission meeting.
"I'm ready to get started I'll put it that way, ready to go the work," he said.
He doesn't have a specific agenda for the first meeting, his first goal is to be on time.
Commissioner Joe Denning could not make the ceremony today, because of illness.

One of the achievements for Skyrim is:
Complete 10 side quests
I have completed the game on two playthroughs now and I've not got this achievement. What quests qualify as "side quests", since they are apparently not misc. quests?
One of the achievements for Skyrim is:
I have completed the game on two playthroughs now and I've not got this achievement. What quests qualify as "side quests", since they are apparently not misc. quests?
Take a look at this answer
A Side Quest is any quest which appears in your quest log with this artwork in it's header:
These are quests that belong to no faction, and are not part of the main quest line, but are more involved than a 'miscellaneous' or 'radiant' quest (go kill 10 bandits in a dungeon, or fetch me a book, etc.)
Sidequests, in this case, refer to quests that aren't part of the main story, and aren't radiant quests listed under the "Misc Objectives" page of your journal.
I believe the catch, in this case, is that it can't be for any of the major factions (like the Thieves Guild, Stormcloaks/Imperials, etc.) as they have their own quest-based achievements.
So what's left? A handful of mostly unrelated, non-random, non-radiant quests. Rather than attempt to list what quests count, I'm simply going to point you at the UESP, which you can look through on your own (not sure your stance on spoilers). To be specific, I'm talking about quests that fall into the "Other" category. (this is for Solitude)
Steam is telling me that 25% of Skyrim owners have achieved this, so I'm going to trust that the achievement itself is not bugged.
PS3Trophies (warning, spoilers) says:
You will find a list of quests in the above-mentionned page.

Attachment is made with reinforced velcro along the top tube, other mounts are adjustable with webbing and low profile camlock buckles with strap keepers. All attachment points bartacked for strength.
Tangles usually leave room for both water bottle mounts. To check, measure the vertical height from the top of the bottle to the top tube and compare with bag height. In some cases you may need to use side entering cages or smaller bottles.

I was surprised at how well this fit in my RM Blizzard and Ragely Blue Pig frames even though it is a generic fitting bag. There was no room for full size water bottles but smaller bottles of water from the store fit. One thing to keep in mind is that the Carousel fuel tank will not fit at the stem with this frame bag. I had to mount the fuel tank bag on the seat post instead.

Let me just start by admitting that I'm hooked. I own the Viscacha seat bag, Mountain Feedbag, Gas Tank, Sling and Small pocket. The designed and construction of the Tangle bag is excellent! Lots of storage space and also has the capability of carrying a hydration bladder with the hose port feature. The bag is very stable. You may need to downsize to smaller water bottles depending on you frame geometry and bag size. Buy this with confidence you will not regret it.
Reviewed By: Tom Olson on 7/12/11
The bag did not fit on my road bike, it was too long. I have sent it back and am awaiting a replacement Mountain Bike model bag. However, use of the water bottles would have been difficult with the original bag since it rested on top of or along side the water bottles.
Reviewed By: A customer from Seattle, WA on 8/4/11
I used this on my carbon road bike for a week long bikepacking trip. The bike doesn't take a rack, so I strapped a compression dry bag to my handlebars, strapped another dry bag to my saddle, and used the Revelate frame bag for my tent poles, tools, and other misc supplies. My wife had the same setup except no frame bag (her bike is too small for a stock Revelate, and the Jandd bag we ordered didn't get to us in time.) The Revelate bag was amazing. Fantastic attention to detail - when you get one, just look at the way the zippers nestle into their zipper nooks; very light weight; easy to mount; and stable. My experience with this convinced me to order more Revelate gear - it's on the way.

I read that there are something called black garlic out there. What is the common usage of black garlic? What is the difference of its from common garlic?
EDIT: Black garlic starts out as regular garlic and is put through a fermentation process that besides changing the color of the cloves to black, also mellows the flavor and reduces the sharpness associated with raw garlic. The texture of the cloves become very soft, also. While I have never used nor eaten black garlic, a website, linked below, is dedicated to everything related to black garlic, including how to use it in recipes.
Blackgarlic.com has a wealth of information on how this fermented version of garlic is made, its unique qualities including taste, texture and chemical properties, where to get it and...recipes!
NEW EDIT: And to balance out the linked info. so there's a non-commercial reference, I found this very in-depth article on black garlic's attributes that includes a reference to a scientific study: http://www.wellbeing.com.au/newsdetail/Black-Magic-Garlic_000553
Black garlic is slow-cooked and fermented using a process developed in Korea. In Southeast Asia, it is sold as nutritional supplement (in energy drinks, etc.) more often than as an ingredient. The garlic is charcoal black in color, and tastes mostly of the caramelized sugars in the original garlic, and only faintly garlicky. Think of it as a sort of sweet garlic jam.
Since black garlic is essentially a sweeter, less garlicky roasted garlic, it could be used in place of roasted garlic. This would include salad dressings, pasta, and pizza. Obviously, it can also be used for Korean, Thai and Vietnamese food. While I haven't had it this way, I imagine it would give a terrific flavor boost to Vietnamese or Korean clay pot dishes.
That being said, I don't buy black garlic despite it being fairly easy for me to obtain (I live in San Francisco). The flavor isn't that much better than regular roasted garlic, it's far more expensive, and it looks unattractive.

Ever since Nixon visited China, the United States has become more and more reliant upon low-cost Chinese goods. Indeed, according to The United States Trade Representative, the United States imported nearly $300 billion worth of goods from China in 2009 alone. To the extent an economic recovery in the United States depends on consumers spending at retail, the ability of U.S. importers and retailers to secure financing with respect to goods manufactured and exported from China is of critical importance.

Following on from my books post last week, below I've listed my favourite films of the decade. I don't think it was a particularly good era for the movies. The Coens were off the boil, we no longer had Stanley Kubrick, some idiot reinvented torture porn and mindless blockbusters continued to dominate. Outside of Hollywood I think English and French art house films generally got overpraised out of sheer desperation (the Times puts the feeble Cache as their #1 film of the decade) and the explosion of Korean horror films didn't do much for me. Still, for what it's worth, these are my favourite films (not necessarily the best) of the noughties.
1. Mulholland Drive (2001) David Lynch
2. The Barbarian Invasions (2003) Denys Arcand
3. Grizzly Man (2005) Werner Herzog
4. In The Mood For Love (2000) Wong Kar Wai
5. Ghost Dog (2000) Jim Jarmusch

Here's how it works:

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
After the Bedika, the nullification formula we use is only for chametz that we don't know about. This leaves out the chametz we've set aside to sell or destroy. We don't do the nullification of everything whether seen or not until after we burn chametz the next morning. By that point, the sold items have been sold and are not subject to our nullification.

I have a 1GB USB flash drive which I wanted to use as an installation medium for Linux distros. My first experiment was to be installing Arch on an old laptop (old enough that if I really messed it up, it wouldn't matter). I downloaded the ISO image, and put the USB into the port; it mounted automatically. Following the instructions on Arch's installation how-to page, I ran
dd if archlinux-XXXX.iso of /dev/sdg1. I then could not see any files on the USB (whether using
ls or nautilus). I umounted it, then plugged it back in, and it had some files on it. I'm afraid I can't remember exactly what they were, but I'm pretty sure I saw a directory named
I then plugged it into the laptop, which would not boot from the flash drive. I plugged the USB back into my main computer, only to be told:
Unable to mount 168 MB Filesystem
Error mounting: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdg1,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so
That command,
dmesg | tail, gives the following:

So I'm curious about what has happened here. Did I do something wrong somewhere? Why is the error message referring to a 168 MB device, when it's supposed to be 1 GB? Also, is there any way to salvage the flash drive, or is it toast?

What's new at Oracle in Gamification?
By Erikanollwebb-Oracle on Oct 31, 2012
It's been a crazy few weeks in Apps UX. We are actively working on some gamification designs in now 4 different application product areas, as well as supporting some teams in other areas of Oracle. Since that gets to be a pretty diverse group with a lot of resources and ideas, we've started a group in the Oracle Social Network on Gamification at Oracle. That's limited to internal users at Oracle, but if you are interested in joining, ping me directly for more information at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We're planning another design jam like we did here at Oracle in May and at the Enterprise Gamification Forum in San Diego in September. This time, we're taking the show to the UK, and hosting it with a group of customers on the Oracle Usability Advisory Board. It should be a great event!
We're also actively designing some gamified flows which we'll be testing with users at the UKOUG to see what our customers think about some of our gamification ideas. We're looking at more feedback opportunities. Internally, we surveyed 444 folks within Oracle about gamification and we'll be posting some of our findings on that here soon.
I'll be posting a blog on gamification for our customers at useableapps.oracle.com in the next few weeks and I'll cross-post to here when it comes out.
So even though it's been quiet on this blog, we are busy and I'm hoping to push out more content in the next few weeks! Would love to know what's most interesting to the folks reading so if there's something you especially want to see, feel free to comment or email me about it.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) A new report says the Kansas unemployment rate held steady at 5.4 percent in December while the state recorded modest job growth over the previous year.
The report from the state Labor Department also says last month's jobless figure was down one full point from the 6.4 percent rate of December 2011.
The number of Kansans holding nonfarm jobs in December approached 1.4 million, up 1 percent from a year earlier. Professional and business services showed the biggest gain, with employment in that sector up 6.3 percent from December 2011.
Labor Department senior economist Tyler Tenbrink says Thursday's report showed Kansas ending the year on a strong economic note.

Louisville has been in professional baseball for more than 100 years, even in the Major Leagues during the early days of the 20th Century.
And the teams have had some outstanding players who established their greatness in the Major Leagues.
So who are the top two Louisville players of all time?
I don't think many of you will argue with my picks:
Earle Bryan Combs and Harold Henry "Pee Wee" Reese.
Both are in Baseball's Hall of Fame. Both were from tiny towns that are just dots on the map in Kentucky, Combs from Pebworth in Owsley County and Reese from Meade County, between Ekron and Brandenburg.
Both reached greatness in America's biggest city, New York City; Combs with the New York Yankees in the Bronx and Reese with the Brooklyn Dodgers in the borough of Brooklyn.
Reese got his nickname because he once finished high in a marbles tournament sponsored by The Courier-Journal. He was such an outstanding player and a leader that he was elected captain of the Dodgers.
Supported Jackie
As captain, Reese made international news when he broke up a team proposal to strike and boycott games after the Dodgers broke the color line by signing Jackie Robinson, baseball's first African American.
Combs left the farm and went to college in Richmond at what is now Eastern Kentucky University. After teaching for a short time in one-room schools, the Louisville Colonels learned about him and signed him to his first professional contract
Pee Wee, by then a city boy, graduated from duPont Manual High School and signed with the Boston Red Sox, the parent team of the Colonels.
He was traded to the Brooklyn Dodgers, where he beat out Leo Durocher his first year. He wore the Dodger uniform for 16 years in both Brooklyn and later Los Angeles when the Dodgers moved there. He served three years in the U.S. Navy during World War II. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1984.
Helped Babe Ruth
Combs had a remarkable 12-year career with the New York Yankees. In 12 years he not only batted a sensational .325 but also was the American League's finest centerfielder. He was famous for covering a lot of ground for left-fielder Babe Ruth on many days when the Babe had been drinking and chasing skirts the night before.
Combs retired and was appointed Kentucky Banking Commissioner by A.B. "Happy" Chandler, who was elected governor the second time after serving as what he called "High Commissioner of Baseball."
The Bats, now the name for Louisville's Triple A farm team of the Cincinnati Reds, have a statue of Pee Wee in front of the Bats' field. Raise your hand if you think there's one other statue that should be there. Of course, of Earle Combs.

I'd like to get a low power pc (arm or atom) running linux and control the music that it plays through an android app, effectively becoming androids version of Logitech's Squeezebox. I'd prefer not to install X Windows on the box. Has anyone heard of such an app?
You could install XBMC on the linux box then use the XBMC Remote app on your Android device to control the media playing through XBMC.
I'd recommend installing mpd on the linux server and an mpd client on the android device.
The squeezebox server software doesn't play audio directly so you would have to either install a player like SoftSqueeze or SqueezePlay on the server, or use another music application to play the mp3 stream.
You didn't ask about it, but if you want to play music stored on linux server through your android, you can also install the squeezebox server (now called Logitech Media Server) on the same linux server, and install Squeeze Player on your android along with any squeezebox controller app (I've found SqueezeDroid and SqueezeControl to be best).
Android's version of Squeezebox... is Squeezebox! I do currently use my Android phone as a remote for my Squeezebox.
I've got the Squeezebox server installed on my server, and I have the Android SqueezeControl app installed on my phone. It's handy for skipping unwanted tracks from another room, and for starting the music playing before you walk through your front door.
You can also connect to the MP3 stream that Squeezebox broadcasts to listen from your phone.
XBMC remote for android has playlist control, but when I last used it it was pretty basic and buggy. It's probably better by now.
You will need to set up a monitor to get xbmc up and running and configure it to use the xbmc remote. After that you should be good to go headless.
