Arcade Fire & Fatboy Slim added to Oxegen line-up
Tickets go back on sale on Friday
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 08 Mar 2010
Arcade Fire are the latest headline act to be confirmed for Oxegen. As reported in the last issue of Hot Press, MCD are once again running a deposit scheme whereby you can pay €120 for your three-day camping ticket now, and the balance by June 19.
Playing the last time they were in Ireland to 20,000 people in the Phoenix Park, Win Butler's mob are currently applying the finishing touches to the follow up to 2007's Neon Bible album.
With Régine Chassagne of Haitian extraction, the band have been working overtime to highlight the country's plight, and donated all the royalties from 'Wake Up' being used during the Superbowl to the standwithhaiti.org fund.
Oscar-winning director Jonathan Demme also revealed this week how close himself and Arcade Fire were to getting caught up in the tragedy.
"We were going to do a music-driven documentary, against a backdrop of carnival in Jacmel – the great, now devastated, south coast Haitian city," Demme says. "We had our final conference call the morning of the day the quake struck. We were gonna go down anyway until we realised we can't really get there."
Another major addition to the bill is Fatboy Slim whose last visit to Ireland was for a Marlay Park sell-out. It'll be interesting to see if he slips in any of the tunes from Here Lies Love, the Imelda Marcos concept album he's made with David Byrne, and which after a couple of delays is due out in mid-April.

European customers please buy through Etsy.
I recently discovered the Australian Girl Doll so my patterns have new numbers starting with 18 for the American Doll and 20 for the Australian Doll.
I love to sew. My mother taught me and I taught my two daughters. I used to make my own clothes and my childrens clothes when they were small. There was also some doll clothes sewing. When I retired I took up patchwork. I love working with all the different designs of fabrics and projects but no matter how pretty the 100% cotton fabrics are they are not the same as fashion fabrics. I started to miss the excitement of the fashion fabric.
I didnt need to make my own clothes any more. I love my polo shirt and jeans uniform. So how could I make lots of different fashion clothes as a hobby?
I bought myself an 18 doll and started to look for patterns and ideas.
The price of the patterns available was the main trigger for me starting to design my own. This became my new hobby. The idea that I could sell my patterns evolved over time.
I love drawing and designing and sewing but I had to go the extra step and start making vector drawings of my pattern pieces and writing detailed instructions to make an inviting product.
The feature I am very excited about is the swappable pattern pieces. I have started several collections where I make this possible. I havent seen any other pattern business do this.
Inspired by the beautiful rural surroundings where I lived for many years this idyllic country scene wall hanging will be a perfect addition to your home. I have made it using cotton fabrics but it also lends itself to construction with the many lovely wool fabrics and felts available now. The pattern includes basic applique instructions, a large full colour image, a full size layout drawing with numbering for order of fusing and also full size drawings of the elements reversed and ready to trace including underlap allowances.
This is the first of a series of scenes that I am designing. As a special introduction this design will always be free.

Hey guys, I tan all my own hides and have done several mounts on my own. Some of the most important things that will keep your cape/hide in good shape are the temp and getting it salted, and keeping it dry. Salting is an important step in the tanning process. It helps set the hair on the hide and also helps to keep the bacteria from growing on the hide which is what usually leads to hair slip. I usually take a few boxes of canning salt,(available in the spice aisle of most mega marts) some old towels and a box of trash bags with me. After skinning thoroughly salt the meat side hide and roll up with the meat side in, wrap in a few towels to absorb the moisture the salt will release, and store in the cooler on ice in several layers of trash bags.. After 10-12 hours I unroll and dry with towels and resalt. Then store again in the trash bags in the cooler on ice. Here is a link for some additional reading........http://www.vandykestaxidermy.com/tanning-a-hair-on-hide.htm

Spike Lee's upcoming "Oldboy" remake clocks in at a respectable 104 minutes, around 15 minutes shorter than original Korean film.
However, speaking with The Los Angeles Times, the film's star Josh Brolin says that he much prefers "Lee's earlier three-hour director's cut that was both quieter and filled with more character-centric moments."
All films have substantially longer rough cuts, but the phrasing in the article of a 'director's cut' indicates there may be something more to this story. Brolin also adds that "I do have opinions, but it's better to bite my tongue."
Lee himself will no doubt answer the question brought up by this interview. A new, revised green-band trailer is also out which includes a few bits of new footage, and the removal of several bum shots.

I'm using Safari (Leopard) and just HATE the way the WYSIWYG editor munges my posts. I want to turn it off. I always write in the Code view anyway, but the default view when writing a new post is WYSIWYG. When I edit old posts, even when I choose the code view, my tags (
<p>, etc.) are all stripped out.
I'm used to using HTML tags and would like to just keep using them and not have WordPress trying to autoformat or make things "easier" for me.
What can I do?

I have 3 computers in my network connected to the same router.
Computer A - my desktop computer Computer B - Web server Computer C - Mail server and SQL server
Everything is set up correctly externally which means I can telnet to IMAP port (143) on Computer C and Web server port (80) on Computer B.
But suddenly, in like a 10 minute interval or more often I cannot telnet to Computer C from the outside. I can telnet from Computer A and B. And I can telnet from Computer A to B from the outside.
I do not think the problem is the router. Computer C is new with Windows 2012 and I guess it is either a network problem, configuration etc on that computer. Do you have any more ideas of how to test this or?

Commercial Drone Testing Sites Chosen By FAA
Commercial Drone Testing Sites Chosen By FAA
The Federal Aviation Administration has picked six states which will get to test unmanned aerial vehicles. The sites will begin testing how to integrate drones into U.S. airspace, sharing the skies with passenger planes.
And if you start hearing a buzzing noise in your community in the next few months, here's a possible reason why: You live in one of the six states chosen yesterday for testing unmanned drone aircrafts. Among the states selected by the Federal Aviation Administration is New York.
Ryan Delaney, of member station WRVO in upstate New York, reports that the potential for job creation and investment was behind that state's decision to submit a bid.
RYAN DELANEY, BYLINE: The FAA picked New York along with Alaska, Nevada, North Dakota, Texas and Virginia, to help it figure out how drones can safely take to the skies - along with passenger airplanes - by the end of 2015.
The drone industry is estimated to be worth billions of dollars and tens of thousands of jobs over the next decade, says Michael Toscano of the Association of Unmanned Vehicle Systems International.
MICHAEL TOSCANO: As this technology emerges - and there's going to be a plethora of different opportunities and utilization that we haven't even thought of yet, and so when you talk about job creation, it is going to create, I think, high-paying, good jobs.
DELANEY: In New York, whatever comes here will be well-appreciated. Forty defense companies and colleges teamed up to win the bid. It'll be headquartered at an old, upstate Air Force base with about 3,000 new jobs.
Rob Simpson, president of the group, says that's a big number in a part of the state that's struggled with high unemployment and population decline.
ROB SIMPSON: We're looking at this, instead, as an opportunity to create good jobs for people right here in central New York.
New York will work with the FAA over the next few months, with the goal of drones taking off by the summer.

Binyamin Netanyahu is not a natural gambler. He hates making decisions and will use every opportunity to defer and procrastinate. But this week he was handed a clear ultimatum by the White House: make the choice - us or your coalition.
His response: to continue playing for time.
US President Barack Obama has spoken of the "special bond" the US has with Israel, keen to smooth over the mounting diplomatic crisis between the countries.
Tensions have been high since the Israeli Interior Ministry announced the building of 1,600 new homes in Ramat Shlomo, east Jerusalem, just 24 hours after US Vice President Joe Biden visited the country in an attempt to start peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.
Jerusalem appeared to have returned to a semblance of calm last night as police reopened the Temple Mount and road closures from the West Bank were lifted, despite yesterday's violent clashes.
The riots were in protest against the Israeli government's approval given to 1,600 new homes in East Jerusalem, a move which cause a deep rift between Israel and the US, with US special envoy to the Middle East, George Mitchell, cancelling a visit to Israel.
The Palestinians have called off peace talks with the Israeli government after a decision to approve 1,600 new homes to be built in East Jerusalem, despite an apology from Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.
Israel's approval of the houses, which came 24 hours after indirect talks between Israeli and the Palestinians were announced, brokered by US special envoy to the Middle East, George Mitchell.
The homes are to be built for a strictly-Orthodox community in Ramat Shlomo near the Palestinian village of Shuafat.
A row over Israeli building in east Jerusalem has caused major embarrassment during the American Vice President's visit to the region.
US Vice-President Joe Biden has hailed the new, indirect talks between Israel and the Palestinians as a "moment of real opportunity".
Mr Biden, who met Israel's President Shimon Peres in Jerusalem today, praised the proposed four months of talks, which have been brokered by US Middle East special envoy George Mitchell.
Mr Biden said: "I hope it is a vehicle, a vehicle by which we can begin to allay that layer of mistrust that has built up in the last several years,"
Israel and the Palestinians have agreed to indirect peace talks, brokered by US special envoy to the Middle East George Mitchell.
Mr Mitchell, who is currently in Israel, met Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu over the last two days to raise the issue of restarting negotiations. He then met Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas this afternoon.
Israel and the Palestinians are expected to conduct four months of negotiations through a US mediator, which will focus on security issues and borders of a potential future Palestinian state.
Israel's best chance for peace is to work with the current leaders of the Palestinian Authority, according to the leader of a group of MPs which has just visited the region.
Mike Gapes, chairman of the Commons Foreign Affairs Select Committee, led nine of its 14 MPs from all parties on the four-day trip.
He said on their return: "I believe Israel should recognise that Salam Fayyad and Abu Mazen are the best hope they've got for peace. They are committed to a two-state solution and Israel should respond positively."
The Financial Times believes Israel is largely responsible for the failure to achieve peace with the Palestinians, according to the media analysis group Just Journalism.
The paper regards Israel's settlement building as the main obstacle.
At the same time, it downplays other factors such as Palestinian terrorism, disunity between Fatah and Hamas and Palestinian failure to recognise Israel as a Jewish status, Just Journalism says, in a report based on examination of 121 editorials about the Middle East in the FT in 2009.
There was some sense of relief and even hidden smiles in Jerusalem following President Obama's confession that his hope to achieve Middle East peace was exaggerated.
This reminded me of a saying attributed to former PM Yitzhak Shamir: "A day in which nothing happened is a good day". He meant that Israel should neither initiate nor give anything, because, according to another one of his legendary sayings, "The Arabs are the same Arabs and the sea is the same sea".

When she answered her phone Tuesday afternoon, Terri Stavenhagen's life changed. Mayor Trent Sisemore was on the other end sharing the news that she would be the newest Place 2 city commissioner.
"I am very excited and very honored," she said. "I'm going to work very hard for the people of Amarillo."
She has answered phone calls from friends, she has been tossed into the media spotlight, and she hasn't even officially become a commissioner yet.
For now, Stavenhagen, 46, does not have any goals she wants to accomplish or items she hopes to tackle during her term on the City Commission.
Terri Stavenhagen will take the oath of office at 3 p.m. Tuesday in the Commission Chambers of City Hall, 509 E. Seventh Ave.
She's just getting started.
"They didn't pick me for my politics," she said. "I am doing this because I am a citizen of Amarillo."
This will be her first stint in politics. Stavenhagen, a Republican, does not have a philosophy or certain outlook about local government.
"I think as far as issues, there are always two sides to every story," Stavenhagen said. "You have to look through all the fact-finding and get all the information together before making a decision."
She will receive the oath of office for the Place 2 seat before Tuesday's weekly meeting. Sisemore, a three-term city commissioner, offered advice to the newest city official.
"My advice is to realize every citizen and every one of their needs are important," he said. "And, remember we are servants of the citizens of this community."
Amarillo commissioners have appointed a commissioner two other times in the city's history. In 1974, W.W. "Windy" Nicklaus resigned his seat citing health reasons. Commissioners appointed Monte Rosenwald to the Place 1 seat.
Residents elected Rosenwald to serve on the commission in April 1975, but he died a month later. Commissioners then selected Keith Taylor to fill the unexpired term. Taylor did not seek the seat in 1977.
For the current commissioners, Stavenhagen's business background, organizational skills and willingness to run for the position in May 2003 helped push her into the seat, Sisemore said. Commissioners selected Stavenhagen from more than 200 candidates.
"Good customer-relation skills, that's important because we're dealing with the public every day," Sisemore said. "Many times someone may be unhappy and to work with them and see that problem through to a solution takes those kind of skills."
Stavenhagen grew up in Amarillo, attending Ridgecrest, Crockett and Tascosa High School. She started working at Lone Star Chrysler-Plymouth in 1982, where her father, Wayne Hedrick, worked.
Hedrick bought the company soon after Stavenhagen joined the dealership. Stavenhagen later purchased half to become co-owner and general manager in 1987. In September 1999, the company sold to Group 1 Automotive of Houston.
"I have a lot of good business judgments," Stavenhagen said. "The type of position and job I had, I was directly involved with people. The knowledge I learned through that helps in good decision making."
After selling the automotive dealership, Stavenhagen began volunteer work. She donates her time at Baptist St. Anthony's hospital at least two days a week. She also helped with the Texas Panhandle Festival 2000 with Franklin Graham.
Bill Duncan, vice chairman for administration on the executive committee of the festival, worked with Stavenhagen.
"I think it's just great," Duncan said about Stavenhagen's appointment. "I'm very excited she's going to be on the commission."
Duncan said Stavenhagen did an outstanding job helping put the festival together. Sisemore also commented on her organizational skills during the event.
"Everything she did was very organized and right when it was supposed to be," said Sisemore, who also volunteered at the festival. "I was very impressed."
Stavenhagen lives in Quail Creek on Citadel Drive. Her husband, Steve, owned Lone Star Mitsubishi and also sold the business to Group 1 Automotive of Houston in 1999. He is now a personal investor.
The Stavenhagens have two sons. Shayne, 25, and Misty Stavenhagen have a 2-month-old son, Seth. Scott Stavenhagen, 20, attends Blinn College in College Station.

Teenage ballerina Hannah O'Neill's win at a prestigious
international competition will serve as inspiration to other
young New Zealander dancers, one of her former teachers said
O'Neill, 16, has taken top prize in the annual Prix de
Lausanne in Switzerland from a field of more than 80.
The competition is for 15- to 18-year-old dancers who have
not been in professional employment and many previous winners
have gone on to star in major companies like the Royal
Aucklander O'Neill began her training at the Mt Eden Ballet
Academy, and director Heather Palmer described her
achievement at Lausanne as "huge".
"What Hannah had done is a great inspiration to a lot of
other young dancers in New Zealand," she said.
"It will certainly give them a goal and make them realise
that these things are possible." Palmer said O'Neill showed
evidence of a budding talent when she started as an
She described her as a popular student, who helped the
younger children, and believed she had the goods to make it
to the top in the ballet world.
"She's always willing to learn and is never too important to
listen to anyone, and that will stand her in good stead," she
"To achieve success in dancing you have to have a good
attitude and quite a bit of inner strength, and she has
that." O'Neill remained at the academy until early last year,
when she moved across the Tasman to join the Australian
Ballet School.
The scholarship she was awarded in Lausanne will help towards
her four-year course at the school.
O'Neill is the fourth New Zealander to come away with a prize
during the competition's 36 years.
She is the second to finish in first place, with Tauranga's
Lisa-Maree Cullum also achieving the feat in 1988.
Cullum is now a principal dancer with the Bavarian State
Ballet, having previous been with the English National Ballet
and the Ballet of the Deutsche Oper in Berlin.

George Robert Stowe Mead (18631933) was an author, editor, translator, and an influential member of the Theosophical Society as well as the founder of the Quest Society. Mead became a member of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky's Theosophical Society in 1884. He abandoned his teaching profession in 1889 to be Blavatsky's private secretary and also became a joint-secretary of the Esoteric Section (E.S.) of the Theosophical Society. The E.S. was for those whom the Theosophical Society deemed more advanced. G.R.S Mead received Blavatsky's six Esoteric Instructions and other teachings at twenty-two meetings headed by Blavatsky which were only attended by the Inner Group of the Theosophical Society. It was because of the intimacy Mead felt with the Inner Group that he married Laura Cooper in 1899.Contributing intellectually to the Theosophical Society, at first most interested in eastern religions, he quickly became more and more attracted to western esotericism of religion and philosophy, particularly Neoplatonism, Gnosticism and Hermeticism, though his scholarship and publications continued to engage with eastern religion. Making many contributions to the Theosophical Society's Lucifer as joint editor, he eventually became the sole editor of The Theosophical Review in 1907 (as Lucifer was renamed in 1897).Pistis Sophia is an important Gnostic text, possibly written as early as the 2nd century. The five remaining copies, which scholars place in the 5th or 6th centuries, relate the Gnostic teachings of the transfigured Jesus to the assembled disciples (including his mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, and Martha), when the risen Christ had accomplished eleven years speaking with his disciples. In it the complex structures and hierarchies of heaven familiar in Gnostic teachings are revealed.The female divinity of gnosticism is Sophia, a being with many aspects and names. She is sometimes identified with the Holy Spirit itself but, according to her various capacities, is also the Universal Mother, the Mother of the Living or Resplendent Mother, the Power on High, She-of-the-left-hand (as opposed to Christ, understood as her husband and he of the Right Hand), as the Luxurious One, the Womb, the Virgin, the Wife of the Male, the Revealer of Perfect Mysteries, the Holy Dove of the Spirit, the Heavenly Mother, the Wandering One, or Elena (that is, Selene, the Moon). She was envisaged as the Psyche of the world and the female aspect of Logos.This edition of Pistis Sophia is specially formatted with a Table of Contents.

2013 is the year for Lamborghini, Aston Martin and the Porsche 911, but 2016 will be the year for BMW. That's when the Munich-based maker of the Ultimate Driving Machine will celebrate its 100th birthday, with what will probably be a year-long celebration. Part of that 365-day party will, reportedly, be an even hotter version of the new BMW M4, which is set to debut in January at the Detroit Auto Show.

We continue to live in what is arguably the best time for the automobile in history. If you need proof, look no further than German bruisers like the BMW M3 GTS and the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. The high-horsepower, high-performance coupes are equally wicked, and the crew from Fifth Gear decided to sort out which of those racers is the best bang for the buck. In a recent episode, Tiff Needell championed the Porsche and Vicky Butler-Henderson carried the BMW banner.

Vt. encourages more landowners to open to huntingNovember 06,2013State wants more
land for hunters
BENNINGTON The Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife is encouraging landowners to make their properties available to hunters.
The department says amount of posted land has roughly doubled between 1971 and 2011, about 100,000 acres to between 200,000 and 230,000.
Hunting license sales have also been on the decline, from about 91,000 licenses sold in 1987 to about 73,500 in 2004.
Recent legislation has given landowners the option to use hunting by permission signs, which work similar to posted signs but are more inviting. The signs are still being worked on.MORE IN This Just In

TRENTON, Mich. - Jim Liechty of Fort Wayne, Ind., watched intently as Dick Shaffer of Rockford, Ohio, put his fish - one by one - on the scales.
Shaffer needed some 16 pounds to catch Liechty, and as he started piling 3-1/2-pound smallmouths into the weigh basket, Shaffer was right on pace to steal Liechty's glory.
With his fourth fish, Shaffer pulled to within 12 ounces of Liechty. Now all he needed was just one more keeper-sized bass to take the EverStart Series Northern title.
When EverStart Series Tournament Director Chris Jones called for Shaffer's fifth and final bass, Shaffer turned his weigh-in bag upside down to reveal it was empty.
Liechty's eyes widened in utter disbelief.
"I just knew he had a fifth one in there," Liechty exclaimed as he was named the winner. "I'm in total shock."
For the record, Liechty, who was in third place after day three, weighed in 16 pounds, 1 ounce Saturday for a two-day winning weight of 34 pounds, 14 ounces.
Liechty fished a single shoal in Lake Erie all week for the win - the same area that produced his BFL win here two weeks ago.
"There were key rocks and breaks along the shoal," Liechty said. "The fish were positioned on the steep sides of the breaks and rocks - on the down-current side. They use those steep places to hide out of the current and ambush bait."
Every fish Liechty weighed in this week came on the Poor Boy's Goby, in a color called "golby," fished on a drop-shot rig with a 1/2-ounce weight and 10-pound-test fluorocarbon line.
For his win, Liechty hit a grand slam in contingencies receiving a fully rigged Ranger and $10,000 for the win, another $10,000 for being an original Ranger Owner, $3,000 for being Ranger Cup qualified, $1,500 for having a Yamaha, and $1,000 for using Garmin electronics - a grand total of nearly $65,000.
Shaffer settles for second
Not having a fifth keeper made Shaffer runner-up with a two-day total of 34 pounds, 2 ounces.
"I had the winning fish on twice in the last 15 minutes, but they both came off," Schaffer lamented.
Schaffer fished isolated rock piles and deep-water breaks in the Pelee Island area of Lake Erie.
His main lure was an ISG Dream Tube, in a "Clapper's Magic" color, teamed with a 1/2-ounce jighead fished on 8- and 10-pound-test line.
Emery moves to third
Every day of the tournament Scott Emery of Livonia, Mich., climbed up through the field: On day one he was 34th; on day two he moved to 14th; on day three he jumped to sixth; and today he landed in third with a two-day total of 33 pounds, 9 ounces.
Emery also fished a Poor Boy's Goby on a drop-shot rig with a 1/2-ounce weight and 12-pound-test Seaguar line.
He fished the Pelee Island area the first two days, but then moved over along the north shore on the final two days to fish humps in 19 to 25 feet of water.
"The bigger fish were a little deeper, and I kept moving out to find them," Emery commented. "There were some decent keepers in 19 feet of water, but it seemed those really big ones were out in 25 feet of water."
Ferguson climbs to fourth
Art Ferguson III of St. Clair Shores, Mich., surprised himself with his performance this week.
Knowing that he was supposed to leave for the Bassmaster Classic today, Ferguson decided to fish the first two days of this EverStart Northern just for points.
"I practiced Erie a couple of days and I really didn't find anything," Ferguson said. "And since I knew I had to leave Saturday, I decided to take it easy on my body and my mind and just fish for a check and some points close by in the Detroit River."
But as Ferguson started fishing some of his "old stuff" on St. Clair, he noticed that bigger fish had shown up in certain areas that he liked to fish.
He made the top-20 cut on Thursday, then the top-10 cut on Friday. By Friday night he was changing his airline tickets to stay and fish on Saturday.
He ended up in fourth place with a two-day total of 30 pounds, 9 ounces.
Ferguson caught most of his fish on a Mizmo tube in a "Work of Art" color on a 1/4-ounce Owner jighead tied to 10-pound-test Vanish fluorocarbon.
"I really surprised myself each day," he added. "I was just aiming for 12 to 13 pounds a day, but I started catching bigger ones. It's funny how things work out that way."
Reault takes fifth
David Reault of Livonia, Mich., who was also fishing in St. Clair, finished fifth with 29 pounds, 2 ounces.
Reault fished a Lucky Craft Pointer 100 in depths of 5 feet to catch most of his fish during the week.
Rest of the best
Rounding out the top 10 pros were Patrick Goodman of White Pigeon, Mich., finishing in sixth place with a two-day total of 25 pounds, 3 ounces; Dave Lefebre of Erie, Pa., finishing in seventh place with a two-day total of 24 pounds; Al Gagliarducci of Agwam, Mass., finishing in eighth place with a two-day total of 20 pounds, 11 ounces; Warren Wyman of Calera, Ala., finishing in ninth place with a two-day total of 19 pounds, 2 ounces; and Steve Clapper of Lima, Ohio, finishing in 10th place with a two-day total of 17 pounds, 8 ounces

How to copy files from crashed Windows Home Server
Yesterday we had a power surge, followed by a power outage. This left my WHS borked: powering on just gives to a flashing blue light (the led on the power supply also flashes green) - no fan or boot activity, nothing.
I urgently needed some files off there in the short term (and the 500GB of photos, music, personal video etc in the long term) so I took the hard drive out and put it in my computer.
The files and folders showed up, but I couldn't access them - clicking on an image gave an invalid image error in Picasa, I couldn't play MP3s etc.
I changed the ownership and permissions of the files, still nothing.
I booted in with a LiveCD, the same: files appear, but won't open.
Is there anything else I can do? I'm now wondering if it was just the power cable that's broken, but if so, why can't I access my files from the hard drive? If it is the power cable, and I replace that and the hard drive, will I have done any harm messing around with ownership and file permissions?

Aurora Fashions Profit, Sales Increase Over Holiday Period
Aurora Fashions, the privately-owned operator of U.K. fashion chains Coast, Warehouse and Oasis, said same-store sales surged 13 percent over the crucial Christmas trading period.
Total sales rose 13.5 percent in the five weeks through Dec. 31, a spokeswoman for the retailer said in an e-mail. Gross profit climbed 9.2 percent.
Aurora, whose 766 U.K. outlets compete with Hennes & Mauritz AB and billionaire Philip Green's Topshop stores, said that while shopper numbers were down in the run-up to the peak period, Christmas trading was "strong." Chief Executive Officer Mike Shearwood has added a 90-minute delivery service in the U.K. to lure fashion-conscious young shoppers.
Next Plc, the U.K.'s second-largest clothing retailer, said today that November and December trading had been "disappointing" and warned of slack profit growth next year as the euro-zone debt crisis weighs on consumer spending.
Aurora has 1,278 outlets in 33 countries including the U.S, Denmark, Russia, Thailand, Indonesia and Australia, with total sales of more than 500 million pounds ($782 million), according to its website.

NEWTON, Mass. -- As Anthony Delmonaco approached a pod of reporters, he looked down at the tape recorders and said, "Sorry guys, I'm not really that good under pressure."
He couldn't keep a straight face.
With two strikes and two outs in the top of the ninth inning, the Norwood High School senior hit a two-RBI shot to left field to give the Mustangs (15-4) a 3-2 lead over No. 6 Newton North (16-3). Norwood ace Joey Rydzewski finished the job and retired the Tigers in order for a complete-game victory.
Delmonaco, who sat on the bench for most of the game, also had an RBI in his first pinch-hit at bat during the top of the seventh inning.
"It's tough to sit on the bench for six innings, and then, when I call on you, go have three RBI. He's got that right mentality," said Norwood head coach Kevin Igoe. "He should be starting, but there's only nine spots. When we called on him, he delivered. That's something he can take with him the rest of his life."
After watching Newton North's Brendan Ryan pitch, Delmonaco knew he would have to wade through a series of looping off-speed pitches. He decided to sit and wait for a hittable fastball. With the game on the line, he got one.
"He had a good deuce, so when it was 2-2 I was looking fastball, and he gave me one. I was able to get a good piece of it, and it went over the shortstop's head," he said. "It felt great. It's a great feeling."
Rydzewski, Norwood's reliable righty, took a little while to get into a groove. During the first inning, the junior gave up two runs on a walk and four hits. He saw eight batters in the inning, but was able to strand two runners when he forced Newton North's Philip Biancuzo to pop out to deep center.
After the first inning, Rydzewski struck out eight batters and used increasing velocity on his fastball to keep the Tigers on their heels.
"It's tough playing on the road. You've got a long bus ride through traffic, and everyone's is sitting there," Igoe said. "Then you have 20 minutes to get loose. We tried to get him as ready as we could, and he's a horse. He could have gone two more innings."
Newton North head coach Joe Siciliano, who is gearing his team up for a run in the tournament, said the game was a great learning tool.
"That was a great high school game –- no errors. They just battled and made pitches, both pitchers did. We were one strike away, and that thing drops in. We're just hoping for breaks like this when the tournament comes around," he said. "I'm not taking anything away from them. That's a good team. It will be fun if we face each other in the tournament, but that's far away still."
Moving on Up: Norwood is in the midst of one of its best seasons in recent memory. The Mustangs have relied on their senior-laden roster to rise to the top of the Bay State Conference's Herget Division.
While Igoe said the team has made adjustments throughout the season, it's the guys on the field who have made the difference.
"We've got a great coaching staff. These guys battled back. We just kind of point them in the right direction. We got off course, and now we're heading in the right direction," he said.
The Mustangs have spent most of the season chasing No. 4 Walpole High for division's top spot. However, Igoe isn't doing much scoreboard watching –- he just wants his team to concentrate on winning.
"Every game we go out there we expect to win, and we recognize that that probably won't happen, but we go out there and expect to win every game," he said. "We don't worry about Walpole. We worry about getting the job done between the lines, and whatever happens, happens."
Siciliano, whose Tigers are looking to claim the Bay State Conference's Carey Division title, said it's about time the Mustangs get their due.
"When is someone going to rank those guys?" he said. "That's one of the top 25 teams in the state. When is someone going to rank them?"
Almost Perfect: After Norwood boarded its bus to go home, and most Newton North players left the field, Ryan sat on the bleachers behind the Tigers' bench – head down – and iced his tired pitching arm.
The senior, who came into the day with a perfect 7-0 record, had just recorded his first loss.
Ryan was lights-out for the first six innings and used a combination of pitches to keep Norwood off-balanced. Until Delmonaco's seventh-inning RBI, Ryan had not faced more than four batters in an inning.
"He's done that all year. He was 7-0 coming into the game, and he was one strike away from going 8-0. He made some great pitches. You can tell what kind of player he is," Siciliano said. "If I even went over to that line to take him out ... no, that wasn't going to happen."

text: Blackburn by Bradley Denton is back in print. Denton, a non-prolific author, usually writes in the SF&F categories, and his stuff is worth searching for, but Blackburn is mainstream contemporary. It's not a big spoiler to reveal that the title character is a serial killer. But he is a semi-likable serial killer, and the reader finds himself agreeing that at least most of his victims are better dead. The book has some dark humor. The characterization is strong. The style is excellent. Some of the situations are bizarre, a Denton trademark. But all things considered, it isn't a comfortable read. If you are looking for something that is more toward the literary side of things, though, I recommend it.

I had a 250GB hard disk having several NTFS partitions. The disk was a dynamic disk (created in windows).
Now when I formatted windows (which was in another disk), the dynamic disk is shown as offline.
I tried using the testdisk tool to recover the data and created a partial backup.
Testdisk is able to list all partitions in the disk. All partitions are shown as type 'D' (Deleted). I want to change the 'D' to 'P' (Primary), 'L'(Logical), 'E' (Extended) appropriately and build a new partition table. If I can write the partition table to disk, the disk will be of 'basic' type and should be readable in all OS.
What should be the appropriate partition types? I checked the files on the partitions and no OS was ound. So none of the partitions were bootable.
Will randomly selecting P,L,E hurt the data in anyway?
Can anyone suggest how to choose the partition types to P,L,E given that none of the partitions were bootable.

China, Iran ink major railroad deal
China signed and Iran on Sunday signed an agreement to extend the railway line in western Iran as part of China's plans to link its railway system to the Mediterranean Sea at a cost of US$2 billion. The line will go from Tehran to the town of Khosravi on the border with Iraq. It will pass through the Iranian cities of Arak, Hamedan and Kermanshah.
The Iranian government agreed to the project, believing it will reach Iraq and Syria and possibly Lebanon as part of a Middle Eastern Corridor.
This new railroad line will help the Central Asian States to have an access to the Iranian port of Chahbahar and will provide China a vital overland route to transport goods to Europe. The Chinese expect it will help reduce the cost of transporting goods to Europe by 5 or 6%.

I understand you cannot use EAP-TLS for public wifi because the clients will not have their own certificates, therefore what EAP do you use, so that mutual authentication can take place?
I'm assuming that you want clients to connect with passwords. You want to use either PEAP or EAP-TTLS with MSCHAPv2 as the inner authentication method. You will probably still need to provide clients with a CA certificate to verify the server with.
PEAP with MSCHAPv2 is the most compatible. Except Windows desktops, all other devices directly connect and prompt you for the username / password. You don't need a trusted server certificate; it can be self signed.
On Windows, you will need to manually create the connection and disable server certificate trust verification, or get a certificate from a trusted CA. This is not the same trust store as the browser and has a much more limited set of root CAs.

Jack Caulfield, Bearer of a Watergate Message, Dies at 83Obituaries
Jack Caulfield, a former New York City police detective who died on Sunday in Vero Beach, Fla., at 83, was once a master of dirty tricks for the Nixon White House who had his biggest brush with history in the role of a messenger.
By all accounts, in January 1973, Mr. Caulfield met with James McCord Jr., a former C.I.A. officer and one of the burglars in the Watergate break-in, to tell him that the White House was prepared to grant him clemency, money and a job in return for not testifying against members of the administration and accepting a prison sentence.
Mr. Caulfield further told Mr. McCord that the president knew about their meeting and that its outcome would be transmitted to him.
Testifying before the Senate Watergate committee in 1973, Mr. McCord said he was told that the clemency offer had come from "the highest levels of the White House." Mr. Caulfield also appeared before the panel....

Waxman on GOP-led House: "All that seems to matter is what Koch Industries thinks"
Speaking at the Center for American Progress Action Fund this week, House energy committee ranking member Henry Waxman (D-CA) railed against the toxic influence of Koch Industries on efforts to fight global warming. Brad Johnson has the story and video.
Waxman, who fought polluters to pass the Clean Air Act of 1990, is dismayed by the level of outright science denial among the Republican Party today, exemplified by their votes to slash and burn environmental protection, and the Upton-Inhofe bill to reverse the scientific finding that carbon pollution threatens public health:
It apparently no longer matters in Congress what health experts and scientists think. All that seems to matter is what Koch Industries think.
Watch a compilation of Waxman's remarks:
"Science denial, partisanship, and the rising power of special interests are deeply intertwined," Waxman said, "and they feed off each other." He explained the vicious circle fueled by Koch Industries, the private petrochemical conglomerate, and the Republican Party. "Koch Industries benefits immensely from the rollback of EPA regulations, so it backs Republican candidates who advocate this position. And it funds groups that attack science and it organizes anti-regulation demonstrations. Republican strategists see a partisan advantage in attacking efforts to address climate change, so that leads to a growing acceptance of science denial."
In the question-and-answer period, Waxman was asked why industry is split on climate change, with some companies supporting action, and others opposed. After discussing how he has worked with coal and oil interests to bring them on board to action, he returned to David and Charles Koch:
The Koch brothers, I think, are unique, because they're not just interested in their financial well-being, they're interested in ideology. They are uniquely involved in the right wing of this country. They are financing the Tea Party movement, and the Republican Party, and they're making the politics pay off for them both ideologically and economically.
"So there are industries that we're never going to completely satisfy," Waxman concluded. "We'll do our best to hear their concerns and try to be responsive to them. But if their position is nothing, no way, no how, it's hard to compromise with that kind of position."
— Brad Johnson, in a Wonk Room repost.
13 Responses to Waxman on GOP-led House: "All that seems to matter is what Koch Industries thinks"
This is deomocracy's last stand.
Money in politics is nothing new, but it's gone to such an insane level the corruption is threatening our democracy.
The Supreme Court ruling on Citizens United vs FEC only made things worse. If you haven't heard about it, I recommend this video…
I think the Koch name should be memorialized at the head of this gross manipulation of our government and culture as a warning to future individuals who decide to mount such an effort to impose their own views and personal interests on our country. The Koch name should be remembered like Ponzi or Mudd
Rather than using their creative energies and wealth to make America better, the Koch brothers have done more than anyone else to create a system of organizations whose purpose is to impose their personal will on the American system. They go way beyond looking out for the interests of their business and seem to be attempting to reshape the American experiment to their own whim at the expense of many, or, without regard for the many. They try to stay below the radar. They have created a public face as generous philanthropists but even these efforts promote their one-sided view of America & the world. I would guess that they spend more money in influence peddling than in philanthropy.
This activity that they and others are undertaking should be called "koching". It is a verb, an action. People who participate in such activities could be called "kochers". As an adjective, "kochish", ie, a kockish piece of legislation. Paid members of the various Koch organizations and those funded by the Koch brothers could be called kochs. The Koch brothers go way beyond "special interest".
You get the picture. Keep up the good work, Dr. Romm and Rep Waxman
I too believe this is a fight for democracy. The enemy is Koch head republicans. I think we are deciding now what type of govt will be in place for the next several years. Will we come together as a democracy to fight the effects of AGW. Or will we have Koch head dictators.
We are possibly leaving our grandchildren a life of hell. Let's not make it worse by allowing the Don and his captains run the show.
"Science denial, partisanship and the rise of special interests." The three major problems with the Republican Party as it exists today. He showed how each one is connected to the other. Of course what makes this even worse is how they have managed to take control of the Supreme Court.
First, Bush v Gore where a recount of only the counties Gore wanted would have resulted in his losing, but a recount of the entire state would have resulted in his winning by any of the rules under consideration. That according to detailed analysis performed by several major papers. But this came out shortly after 9/11 and was therefore buried and downplayed to preserve national unity in a time of crisis.
Then the decision that corporations as artificial persons (in contrast to "preferred [flesh and blood] speakers") are a disadvantaged class whose contributions to the political campaigns of parties and individuals constitutes a form of free speech that ought to be protected — and kept secret if they so choose. I have posted this before, but it bears repeating…
The Supreme Court recently decided that corporations as artificial persons constitute a disadvantaged class and that their financial contributions to political campaigns and causes constitute a form of speech protected by the principle of freedom of speech and thus should face few restrictions:
2. Austin is overruled, and thus provides no basis for allowing the Government to limit corporate independent expenditures. Hence, §441b's restrictions on such expenditures are invalid and cannot be applied to Hillary. Given this conclusion, the part of McConnell that upheld BCRA §203's extension of §441b's restrictions on independent corporate expenditures is also overruled. Pp. 20–51.
(a) Although the First Amendment provides that "Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech," §441b's prohibition on corporate independent expenditures is an outright ban on speech, backed by criminal sanctions. It is a ban notwithstanding the fact that a PAC created by a corporation can still speak, for a PAC is a separate association from the corporation. Because speech is an essential mechanism of democracy-it is the means to hold officials accountable to the people—political speech must prevail against laws that would suppress it by design or inadvertence…. The Government may also commit a constitutional wrong when by law it identifies certain preferred speakers. There is no basis for the proposition that, in the political speech context, the Government may impose restrictions on certain disfavored speakers. Both history and logic lead to this conclusion. Pp. 20–25.
Supreme Court of the United States: Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, No. 08–205. Argued March 24, 2009-Reargued September 9, 2009–Decided January 21, 2010
My God! What has happened to the Republican Party? What happened to our country? And what will happen to the world as a result of this?
#2 Andrew Davies — It is worth it. I did it. I think it has a chance — and it is probably the biggest step in the right direction we could take.
Thanks to Waxman for calling out the Kochs, something few Democrats have done. The oil and coal companies are from the dark side, and they threaten life itself.
I like Ian Murphy's description of Republican politicians: Koch Whores.
Election Campaign Finance Laws outside the USA:
1. Corporations, trade unions, and other unincorporated associations are prohibited from making contributions to registered parties, registered electoral district associations, leadership and nomination contestants of registered parties, and all candidates.
2. Only citizens and permanent residents may make contributions to registered parties, registered electoral district associations, leadership and nomination contestants of registered parties, and all candidates.
3. Individual contributions to these political participants are limited to a maximum of $1,000 annually (adjusted for inflation).
These are the rules in Canada enforced by Elections Canada.
Bob at #8, if those are the rules in Canada (and I'm not questioning that), then why does it seem like the Canadian government is just as much in thrall to Big Oil as the US government? Those rules are apparently necessary but insufficient.
Bill #9. Good point.
Like you said, these rules alone will not prevent inaction on climate change. Even an educated public will vote for whatever party it considers best for the economy (jobs).
In a country like Germany people realize that jobs and a strong renewable-energy industry go hand in hand. In Canada the resource sector like oil and gas still accounts for a lot of jobs.
Henry Waxman will go down in history as a good man who at least tried to do the right thing and didn't tug his forelock to pollutocrats. The Inhofes and Issas of Capitol Hill will be viewed as a stain on American history if they continue to behave in the manner that they currently are.
Thank you, Henry Waxman. You've been added to my 'climate hero' list.
"Koch Industries thinking" should be classified as an oxymoron.

The manual also will mention the default password for changes, but if you changed it yourself than it's your responsibility, of course. Then find out about the 'reset to factory defaults' options.
