Charles should write a piece regarding what the hell he thinks clicked in your head to start reviewing water fountains. Frankly, I think it's the best damn post of the day.
did you actually press your mouth to the spout? ewww...
I second #2's comment.
too cold hurts the teeth of those of us with sensitive teeth! be sensitive--punny!--to this marginalized group, for life for us is a series of too-cold fountains and too-iced glasses!
I agree: not too cold, please. I do like a nice powerful stream, though.
There; a gift for all you out-of-context quoters.
Back home we call that a bubbler.
Approximate H to O ratio: 2
OH OHOOH...are you gonna I review the fountain on the Stranger's editorial floor?
You put your mouth on it?!?!?!
Note to self: Start writing extensive, pointless reviews of Charles' pretentious blog posts.
Umm, pressing my mouth against the spout would automatically case a deduction of 30-40 points. that is just dag nasty. ick.
Best water is in the Kootenays, in Kaslo BC.
Great, but you misspelled "bubbler" as "water fountain."
Will in Seattle: word up to the Kootenays.
This is a brilliant idea for a series! Don't stop until you've rated every drinking fountain in Seattle.
Also, let it be noted that those with sensitive teeth are pathetic whiners. There is no such thing as a too cold water fountain. As long as the water hasn't frozen in the pipes, the colder, the better.
Dude, I drink out of that fountain...
And you put your mouth on it.
Now I'm just gonna have to buy Powerade.
(I'm blaming you when I get diabetes.)

Double Lives on the Down Low
Published: August 3, 2003
(Page 3 of 8)
For many men on the Down Low, including William and Rakeem, the DL label is both an announcement of masculinity and a separation from white gay culture. To them, it is the safest identity available -- they don't risk losing their ties to family, friends and black culture.
William parks the car in a secluded lot about a block from the Palace. As he breaks out some pot, I ask them if they heard about what happened recently at Morehouse College, where one black student beat another with a bat supposedly for looking at him the wrong way in a dormitory shower.
''I'm surprised that kind of stuff doesn't happen more often,'' William says. ''The only reason it doesn't is because most black guys are sly enough about it that they aren't gonna get themselves beaten up. If you're masculine and a guy thinks you're checking him out, you can always say: 'Whoa, chill, I ain't checking you out. Look at me. Do I look gay to you?' ''
Masculinity is a surprisingly effective defense, because until recently the only popular representations of black gay men were what William calls ''drag queens or sissies.'' Rakeem takes a hit from the bowl. ''We know there are black gay rappers, black gay athletes, but they're all on the DL,'' Rakeem says. ''If you're white, you can come out as an openly gay skier or actor or whatever. It might hurt you some, but it's not like if you're black and gay, because then it's like you've let down the whole black community, black women, black history, black pride. You don't hear black people say, 'Oh yeah, he's gay, but he's still a real man, and he still takes care of all his responsibilities.' What you hear is, 'Look at that sissy faggot.' ''
I ask them what the difference is between being on the DL and being in the closet. ''Being on the DL is about having fun,'' William tells me. ''Being who you are, but keeping your business to yourself. The closet isn't fun. In the closet, you're lonely.''
''I don't know,'' Christopher says. ''In some ways I think DL is just a new, sexier way to say you're in the closet.''
Both have a point. As William says, DL culture does place a premium on pleasure. It is, DL guys insist, one big party. And there is a certain freedom in not playing by modern society's rules of self-identification, in not having to explain yourself, or your sexuality, to anyone. Like the black athletes and rappers they idolize, DL men convey a strong sense of masculine independence and power: I do what I want when I want with whom I want. Even the term Down Low -- which was popularized in the 1990's by the singers TLC and R. Kelly, meaning ''secret'' -- has a sexy ring to it, a hint that you're doing something wrong that feels right.
But for all their supposed freedom, many men on the DL are as trapped -- or more trapped -- than their white counterparts in the closet. While DL guys regard the closet as something alien (a sad, stifling place where fearful people hide), the closet can be temporary (many closeted men plan to someday ''come out''). But black men on the DL typically say they're on the DL for life. Since they generally don't see themselves as gay, there is nothing to ''come out'' to, there is no next step.
Sufficiently stoned, the guys decide to make an appearance at the Palace. More than anything, the place feels like a rundown loft where somebody stuck a bar and a dance floor and called it a club. Still, it's one of the most popular hangouts for young black men on the DL in Atlanta.
William surveys the crowd, which is made up mostly of DL ''homo thugs,'' black guys dressed like gangsters and rappers (baggy jeans, do-rags, and FUBU jackets). ''So many people in here try so hard to look like they're badasses,'' he says. ''Everyone wants to look like they're on the DL.''
As I look out onto the dance floor, I can't help doing the math. If the C.D.C. is right that nearly 1 in 3 young black men who have sex with men is H.I.V.-positive, then about 50 of the young men on this dance floor are infected, and most of them don't know it.
''You have no idea how many of the boys here tonight would let me'' -- have sex with them -- ''without a condom,'' William tells me. ''These young guys swear they know it all. They all want a black thug. They just want the black thug to do his thing.''
While William and many other DL men insist that they're strictly ''tops'' -- meaning they play the active, more stereotypically ''masculine'' role during sexual intercourse -- other DL guys proudly advertise themselves as ''masculine bottom brothas'' on their Internet profiles. They may play the stereotypically passive role during sex, they say, but they're just as much men, and just as aggressive, as DL tops. As one DL guy writes on his America Online profile, ''Just 'cause I am a bottom, don't take me for a bitch.''
Still, William says that many DL guys are in a never-ending search for the roughest, most masculine, ''straightest looking'' DL top. Both William and Christopher, who lost friends to AIDS, say they always use condoms. But as William explains: ''Part of the attraction to thugs is that they're careless and carefree. Putting on a condom doesn't fit in with that. A lot of DL guys aren't going to put on a condom, because that ruins the fantasy.'' It also shatters the denial -- stopping to put on a condom forces guys on the DL to acknowledge, on some level, that they're having sex with men.

Jay Clayton
Jay Clayton (born October 28, 1941, in Youngstown, Ohio, as Judith Colantone) is an internationally acclaimed avant-garde vocalist and jazz educator.
Early years[edit]
After studying at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio she came to New York City taking lessons from musicians such as Steve Lacy. Together with her husband, percussionist Frank Clayton, she presented Jazz at the Loft in their home in about 1967: Sam Rivers, Cecil McBee, Joanne Brackeen, Dave Liebman, Larry Karush, Pete Yellin, Hal Galper, Jeanne Lee, Bob Moses, Junie Booth, John Gilmore, and Jane Getz were among the featured musicians. Clayton also began to earn her own reputation as an avant-garde singer, developing her personal wordless vocabulary.
Musical career[edit]
Clayton's pioneering vocal explorations placed her at the forefront of the free jazz movement and loft scene in the 1970s, where she counted among the first singers to incorporate poetry and electronics into her improvisations. She performed and recorded with Muhal Richard Abrams, with John Fischer's Interface, and Byron Morris's Unity. For a long time she was a member of the Steve Reich ensemble, performing the compositions of the minimalist composer. She was one of the first singers to record composer John Cage's vocal music.
Clayton's own performance dates appear under the heading the Jay Clayton Project, while she titles her work with other esteemed vocalists Different Voices. She co-leads a trio, Outskirts, with drummer Jerry Granelli and saxophonist Jane Ira Bloom.
With more than 40 recordings to her credit, Clayton has appeared alongside such formidable artists as Bud Shank, Charlie Haden, Kirk Nurock, Stanley Cowell, Lee Konitz, Julian Priester, George Cables, Gary Bartz, Gary Peacock and Fred Hersch, as well as fellow vocalists Jeanne Lee, Lauren Newton, Urszula Dudziak, and Bobby McFerrin. In 1971, Clayton began leading her own workshops, partly together with Michelle Berne and Jeanne Lee.
Teaching career[edit]
From 1981 onwards, Clayton taught at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, Washington for 20 years. In addition to that tenure, Clayton taught for several semesters at New York's City College, at several European universities (Graz (Austria), Berlin, Cologne, Munich). She developed the vocal program for the Banff Center (Canada), which she co-taught with fellow vocalist Sheila Jordan. The two are also teaching together at Vermont Jazz Workshop and at Jazz in July (at the University of Massachusetts Amherst). Clayton has brought her masterclasses to the Manhattan School of Music and the Peabody Conservatory. Her book, Sing Your Story: A Practical Guide for Learning and Teaching the Art of Jazz Singing, was published in 2001.
Other activities[edit]
In 1979, Clayton acted as the artistic director for the first ever Women in Jazz Festival (produced by Cobi Narita). She served as a consultant for ABC Cable's Women in Jazz, compiling footage for the series. Clayton received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, Meet the Composer, and Chamber Music America.

Whistler's painting The Little White Girl, as it was known when first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1865, shows the artist's mistress Jo Hiffernan standing beside a fireplace in the house in Lindsey Row, Chelsea, that they shared. Dressed in white, and holding a Japanese fan, she gazes with unseeing eyes, apparently lost in thought. The reflected image of her head and face is seen in the looking-glass. The circumstances of her life are not specified (although she wears a wedding ring on the third finger of her left hand), and the spectator is left to imagine what events have caused her sad mood, or what her eventual fate might be.
Swinburne's poem 'Before the Mirror' was inspired by The Little White Girl, and its verses, written on sheets of gold paper, were attached to the flats of the original frame (sadly now not extant, but see fig.22 on p.39). The poem concludes:
Deep in the gleaming glassIn 1865 the Times critic found Swinburne's 'very beautiful but not very lucid verses' unhelpful as to the painting's meaning. 'Nevertheless', he concluded, 'the picture is one ... that means more than it says, though not so much perhaps as the poet has said for it. Thought and passion are under the surface of the plain features, giving them an undefinable attraction' (quoted in Young et al. 1980, I, p.29). The idea of a person being confronted by a past existence, or a sad premonition of what is to come - for while the girl standing before us is young and graceful, her mirrored image seems stooped and worn - appealed to a generation who looked for evidence of the spirit world in their daily surroundings and who sought the means of translation into the spheres of other worlds. In passing, one wonders whether Charles Dodgson ('Lewis Carroll') saw Whistler's painting at Trafalgar Square in 1865, and whether perhaps he may have had it in mind when writing Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There in 1871.
She sees all past things pass,
And all sweet life that was lie down and lie.
There glowing ghosts of flowers
Draw down, draw nigh;
And wings of swift spent hours
Take flight and fly;
She sees by formless gleams,
She hears across cold streams,
Dead mouths of many dreams that sing and sigh.
Face fallen and white throat lifted,
With sleepless eye
She sees old loves that drifted,
She knew not why,
Old loves and faded fears
Float down a stream that hears
The flowing of all men's tears beneath the sky.
The detached way in which the spectator is invited to inspect the figure of a woman who faces away from the viewer and who seems to avoid psychological engagement, but the expression of whose face - as seen in the image of her reflection - may be studied quite independently, is surely owed to Whistler's memory of Vel zquez's Rokeby Venus (National Gallery, London), which he must have seen at the Manchester Art Treasures Exhibition of 1857. In that painting, as in The Little White Girl, the careworn appearance of the woman as transmitted to the viewer through her reflection seems at odds with the idealised beauty of her actual presence.
Swinburne may perhaps have suggested to Whistler the notion of individuals coming upon themselves by supernatural agency and of the anxiety induced by such premonition of one's fate. In 1864, the year of The Little White Girl, Swinburne had visited Florence to study Renaissance paintings, and the essay that he subsequently wrote describing what he had seen explores this theme, in for example his account of paintings by Leonardo, whose works he found to be 'full of ... indefinable grace and grave mystery': 'Fair strange faces of women full of dim doubt and faint scorn; touched by the shadow of an obscure fate; eager and weary as it seems at once, pale and fervent with patience or passion; allure and perplex the eyes and thoughts of men. There is a study here of Youth and Age meeting; it may be, of a young man coming suddenly upon the ghostly figure of himself as he will one day be; the brilliant life in his face is struck into sudden pallor and silence, the clear eyes startled, the happy lips confused' (Fortnightly Review, vol.4 (NS), 1868, pp.16-40).

I am in the process of re-working my installation of WordPress to better track changes I make. Previously I was just tracking them in a txt file that I would put the filename, what I changed, and the reason for it. This was ok at first but gets unwieldy very fast.
I decided to implement Subversion to help me out with this and so far it's been great. The flow will be pretty simple:
- Check out from working base/repository to my development workstation.
- Make changes
- Upload to development site via SFTP for testing purposes.
- Commit changes to repository
- Update development site with latest revision to get development site all in-sync.
- Test changes
- Update production site from repository.
Everything is going fine with one exception. Database consistency! I'd really like to refresh the dev database with production before doing major changes like new/updated plugins, upgrading WordPress, etc...
I've examined the database and can find three instances where they are significantly (meaning important, not complicated) different. All three simply differ in what is basically the site url. They are:
PROD - http://mysite.com/
DEV - http://dev.mysite.com/
- wp_options table has an option of siteurl with these values
- wp_posts has a guid column on each post that contains the url
- wp_users has a user_url column for each user and of course "my" user_url is my blog site, which would differ (this one isn't much of an issue, but I figure any solution will/should take care of it anyway).
So here's what I view are my two options:
- Create a semi-sophisticated refresh script that exports prod database, backup/drop dev database, import prod data into dev base, and then go through and change all values to their dev equivilent.
- Possibly implement some kind of .htaccess rewrite to rewrite mysite.com to dev.mysite.com in development.
I am leaning towards the .htaccess rewrite option (if it will work) because it will be less to maintain and any performance slowdown will only affect dev which isn't a big deal. The refresh script is a good backup I think though because it will ensure the configuration of each site is as identical as possible, but it's more to maintain and prone to getting out of date.
I'm curious if anyone has attempted something like this already. Or if there's an official "best practice" from WordPress on this process...
Thanks in advance for any and all comments. I'm going to get started on the rewrite method but I hope to get some good and varied points of view!

What can I say, I'm an awesome guitarist. Let me tell you why this is so. I believe in excellence with every note I pluck and every chord I execute. From the very beginning of my journey to be a guitar, I wanted to share the wonder of this instrument to others. But this took some time. I started out with a neighborhood rock band that barely got by playing parties (groups of friends). The band then actually got the chance to play the Washington Jr High talent show. We didn't win, but I received comments the rest of the year for jumping off the stage like a rock star. This was all fun, but I aware that I could not play the way my heart imagined I could.
I started private lessons that ranged from: Rock, Blues, Heavy Metal, etc. Before I new it I was the lead guitarist from my high school jazz band. This really motivated me to keep learning. As my high school days progressed, I started an original rock band. We all wanted to "make it big", and it took hard work just to be competitive with the other bands. But we did it! At a very young age this band was playing most of the big clubs in Hollywood where we won sever battle of the bands. Even records labels loved us! Through it all I continued to take advanced guitar lessons, where most of my lessons consisted of Jazz. With the Jazz lessons I enrolled in college and majored in music theory.
Before I new it was teaching more 50 students a week on my own. Several institutions hired me while I was also employed the Academy of Performing Arts as the guitar improvisation teacher. I continue to thrive and love my instrument through excellence. By choosing me as your guitar instructor you will be opened up to a world of knowledge through music. What can I say, I'm an awesome guitarist. Let me tell you why this is so. I believe in excellence with every note I pluck and every chord I execute.

Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
The guitar is a great instrument. It's been said that the guitar is one of the most difficult to learn, but the most rewarding once mastered. This is because of the versatility within multiple styles that can be achieved on the guitar, from a beginning level to an advanced.
As a teacher I take my students down a path to explore their independent passion stylistically. Because I decided to constantly take my playing abilities to the next level, I can help the student achieve a greater playing ability one step at a time. First the student must learn music theory as related to site reading notation as well as basic chord playing. Music theory can be continued as it relates to more advanced chord formation, scale theory and application in improvisation. This leads the student to the ability and understanding on how to play lead guitar.
I achieved my abilities through over 20 years of group and private lessons as well as music theory at the college level. I have taught at several music institutions, been instructed by popular jazz players, taught improvisation at the Academy of Performing Arts and held music director staff positions. My knowledge of the guitar will allow the student to get past the awkwardness of playing and become a confident player who will want to take it to the next level to expertise.
Music Theory is put into a couple categories in order for the student to be comfortable. Music Theory is first taught during the reading music process. This consists of note values, rests, time signatures, key signatures, etc. Once this is explained and understood by the student the more difficult theory is explained. This consists of chord formation, scale formation, harmony, improvisation, etc. Due to the complexity of music theory, I cannot continue to elaborate. But, music theory must be taught along side all other aspects of the guitar in order for the "Big Picture" to be grasped.

I love how it is documented, in terms of what to type in index.html and what to type in for javascript files.
This is incredibly useful for a new bee like me.
Are there any such documentation for any other apps like "kichen sink"? where can i find the detailed step-by- procedures/

"Winter in Beijing" Beijing by tuff
Beijing Travel Guide: 6,601 reviews and 16,752 photos
Beijing is a city full of history, magnificent sites, modern buildings, friendly people and unfortunately, air pollution, especially in winter time where the fog moves in from the north in combination with coal burning for heating in winter. Winter in Beijing is cold, some of the attractions are under renovation, some of the tours were not in operation in winter. The upside is none of the places I visited were crowed. However, I am sure it will be crowed during the Chinese New Year Holidays which is around early February. Beijing is a lively city with so much to do, to eat, to enjoy, and I wish I could spend more time here.

On the fourth day of Banks' trial on a charge of filing a
false electoral return, the High Court at Auckland is hearing
an audio recording of a June 2012 police interview with Banks
at his lawyer's chambers.
When asked about the donations, he said: "SkyCity – no
recollection of receiving the donation. Mega Upload [Mr
Dotcom], no actual knowledge of the donation since before the
Banks is defending a charge of filing a false electoral
return in 2010 where he allegedly knowingly received
political donations from Mr Dotcom and SkyCity that were
recorded as anonymous.
The allegations against relate to two $25,000 donations from
Megastuff Ltd on Mr Dotcom's behalf in June 2010 and $15,000
from SkyCity in May that year.
"We received legal advice back in 2007 about the whole use of
donations. I recall the legal advice was we would set up a
secret trust or we could do it in good faith in the spirit of
the law, which we did and I did every campaign since 2001,"
Banks said.
Banks said that in 2010, he asked hundreds of people for
money and the campaign received about 500 cheques.
When asked about the campaign team's record-keeping, Banks
said he never asked to see any records.
He signed the electoral return on the basis that campaign
treasurer Lance Hutchison had filled it out to the best of
his knowledge.
Banks said he did no cross-referencing or checking the
donations against the return as he had confidence in Mr
Banks said the workload of standing for mayor was
"Every morning, every afternoon, every night, every day for
18 months, the work load was mind-bending. I'd never do it
again, especially if I knew I was going to lose –
back-breaking, mind-bending."
The trial continues.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
Romney is one of the many new names that came to England following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Romney family lived in Kent, at New Romney, or Old Romney parishes and locals that date back to at least the Domesday Book where they were collectively known as Romenel. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Williams, Dr Ann. And G.H. Martin, Eds., Domesday Book A Complete Translation. London: Penguin, 1992. Print. (ISBN 0-141-00523-8) In fact, Old Romney may be older: "The town had a good and much frequented haven prior to the Conquest; but in the reign of Edward III. " [2]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of England. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print.
The surname Romney was first found in Kent where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor of Romney, anciently Romenel. At the time of the taking of the Domesday Book, [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Williams, Dr Ann. And G.H. Martin, Eds., Domesday Book A Complete Translation. London: Penguin, 1992. Print. (ISBN 0-141-00523-8) a survey of England initiated by Duke William of Normandy after his conquest of England, the village of Romney was held by a Norman noble, Robert de Romenel, and as was the Norman custom, the second son of the family adopted the name of the village.
Anglo-Norman names are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. When the Normans became the ruling people of England in the 11th century, they introduced a new language into a society where the main languages of Old and later Middle English had no definite spelling rules. These languages were more often spoken than written, so they blended freely with one another. Contributing to this mixing of tongues was the fact that medieval scribes spelled words according to sound, ensuring that a person's name would appear differently in nearly every document in which it was recorded. The name has been spelled Rumney, Rumnie, Romney, Romny, Romenel, Rumenel, Romnay and many more.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Romney research. Another 223 words (16 lines of text) covering the years 1500, 1601, 1593 and 1603 are included under the topic Early Romney History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
More information is included under the topic Early Romney Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
For many English families, the political and religious disarray that plagued their homeland made the frontiers of the New World an attractive prospect. Thousands migrated, aboard cramped disease-ridden ships. They arrived sick, poor, and hungry, but were welcomed in many cases with far greater opportunity than at home in England. Many of these hardy settlers went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Among early immigrants bearing the name Romney or a variant listed above were:
Romney Settlers in United States in the 17th Century
Romney Settlers in United States in the 18th Century
Romney Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Romney Settlers in United States in the 20th Century
Romney Settlers in New Zealand in the 19th Century

New Dierks Album
Dierks Bentley will release his fourth studio album, Feel That Fire, Tuesday, Feb. 3.
"I know everybody always says it, but I really mean it when I say that this is the best album I've ever made," says Dierks. "We came off the road for the first time in six years and took our time to make sure it was just right." Dierks adds, "I really wanted to change our initial approach to the recording process, do it in more of a rock 'n' roll or an old outlaw kind of country way." The 12-song album features the title track and Dierks' collaboration with Patty Griffin on "Beautiful World."

The Stay-at-Home Life as Muse
Published: March 20, 1997
(Page 2 of 2)
Is Ms. Zittel a homebody? (Revealingly, she was home at her Brooklyn residence when I called to pose the question.) ''I really hate leaving my house,'' she stated, going on to recount an amusing tale about a recent trip cross-country. ''I was able to eat exactly the same meal in identically decorated restaurants every day. And in her motel rooms, ''the bedspreads featured the same decorative pattern across the continent,'' she said.
''Even though we are more and more mobile,'' she added, ''there are fewer and fewer places where we can escape to.''
If travel is losing its romance, staying home is acquiring a new allure. Or so we learned from one work in Ms. Zittel's show to which I admit being partial -- a portable home furnished to resemble, of all things, the basement workshop of Joseph Cornell! It was startling to see, this re-creation of the dwarfishly small room on Utopia Parkway where Cornell spent his days spinning dust and discards into works of art.
As it turned out, Ms. Zittel made the piece at the request of Dean Valentine, the president of Walt Disney Network Television, who plans to use it as a study in his Los Angeles home (which explains the addition of one strikingly un-Cornellian detail: a computer). Surely Cornell would be surprised to hear that his musty basement in un-chic Flushing had become a dream grotto for 90's escapists.
In the quarter-century since his death, Cornell (who died of a heart attack in 1972 at age 69), has become the most emblematic homebody. It's hard to name another artist whose life was so externally static yet who journeyed so far in his imagination.
His house -- a white-painted Dutch colonial much like the others on the street -- was unremarkable; yet, over time, its junk-encrusted rooms became an image of his interior life.
There, one could find an astonishing profusion of material: books, old photos, shelves heaped high with dolls, seashells, watch springs, cordial glasses, owl cutouts, rings, bells, etc. -- a galaxy of everyday objects that accumulated around the artist as if to turn his house itself into another Cornell box, mingling desire and dime-store debris.
Cornell's shadow boxes are often described as flights of fantasy, but they are also portraits of his house. To be sure, they make no reference to carpets or couches, and they certainly do not capture well-appointed parlors with the literal exactitude of Vermeer or Vuillard.
Nonetheless, I would argue that they take their cue from domestic interiors. Their wooden walls, peeling paint and airless spaces suggest, among other things, the cramped rooms of the artist's house. And the sheet of glass fronting each box makes you think of a window -- the pane that separates a loner from the outside world and intensifies his longing for experiences he will never know.
When I look at a Cornell box I see the artist at his kitchen table, writing a letter on a winter night, his chair pulled close to the oven for heat. I see him standing up to gaze out the window, stretching the borders of his home to encompass the stars. Or I see him in his basement workshop, unopened mail piled up on his worktable, a gaunt man in drab clothes searching for a lost past.
Cornell, as one might imagine, was hardly enthralled by his grimly minimalist existence. To the contrary, he bemoaned his years of isolation and it saddened him to think of the endless hours he had idled away in reverie. From one day to the next, it sometimes seemed to him, he did little more than bicker with his mother, feed peanuts to the blue jays in the yard and fantasize about a long-ago Europe that he would never see. It did not occur to him that his yearning world would one day be held up as something rare and exquisite.
Nor, for that matter, did he ever imagine that he -- who spent so much time composing tributes to various performers -- would eventually inspire a performer to compose a tribute to him. Mary Chapin Carpenter, the country singer, has just released a beautiful ballad dedicated to Cornell.
The song is called ''Ideas Are Like Stars'' (after one of Cornell's boxes), and it ends with a haunting image. Cornell is standing in his backyard late one night, staring up at the sky while strains of Debussy float from the kitchen.
''And who was that shadow standing there by the gate?'' Ms. Carpenter asks. ''It was only loneliness, and loneliness waits.''
The song is as fine a tribute as any to the artist who proved that a house can be a setting for distant voyages, taking us everywhere that matters.

Hi, I've recently got the revolution slider plugin for a website for one of my clients, I've set up a few slides and hooked its alias to the theme's homepage file.
The problem now is I can't get the slider to go full width on that page, instead it doesn't even show at all, I then decided to opt for the boxed option and the slides showed up but one shocking thing I noticed, I enabled the slider to go full width again (It didn't show up,It only had the empty full width container) but I then used chrome's Inspect element feature to check out what's going on and alas! the slides showed in full width, so strange.
Please I'll need anyone's help on this I've only been able to see the slides in full width by inspecting elements, the website's http://femmiratetravels.com . You can try reproducing the strange behaviour using Chrome's inspect element feature, just right click > Inspect Element on the huge blank space after the site's menu to understand better what's going on, thanks!

A reviewer edited my post and made product keywords bold. I was wondering if this was an SO guideline (similar to the guideline of not including product names in the title) that I may have missed. Is there something in place to bold product names of "Telerik" and "ASP.NET AJAX" (in my situation, it's referring to this: RadMenu Finding Items Recursively By Value on Client).

- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
Personally, I reject such edits and roll them back where I see them (or edit to remove the bold if there are valuable edits that would get rolled back).
I find the arbitrary bold font scattered around the post to be irritating and makes for a less readable post.
The particular edit is just harmful - it adds nothing and actually removed a good part - the code markup around the method name.

Is there a way to set ForkLift as the default file viewer, to a degree? PathFinder somehow does this, see http://cocoatech.com/faqs#3, but how does it do this and could that option be set to redirect to ForkLift instead of PathFinder?
Path Finder looks like it's modifying the "NSFileViewer" preference. You can set this manually from Terminal to point to ForkLift (I tried this, and it seems to work):
However, be warned that the Path Finder website lists some applications that don't respect this setting, such as the Dock and Firefox.
You can change default file manager like this, but ForkLift or Transmit not work as expected, only Path Finder are

PREVIEWS: "Daredevil," "Uncanny X-Men," & More Marvel Comics On Sale August 3, 2016
Comic Books
Conventions | The Rhode Island Convention Center exceeded capacity Saturday for what may be the first time in its history, leading the state fire marshal to temporarily bar entry to Rhode Island Comic Con. At one point, about 1,500 attendees were left out in the rain, including some people who stepped out for a minute and couldn't get back in. Organizers sold a reported 23,000 tickets for a venue that holds just 17,000, and the way the show was configured reduced the capacity to about 15,000. They apologized Saturday afternoon for the "hiccup." [Providence Journal]
Comics | Joshua Rivera picks the best comics and graphic novels of October. [Entertainment Weekly]
Comics | Check your longboxes, folks: Copies of Marvel's Sunfire & Big Hero 6 #1, from 1998, with a CGC grade of 9.8 are selling for $450 and up ahead of the premiere of the Disney animated film, and even non-graded copies are good for $25 or more. [ICv2]
Creators | Captain Marvel writer Kelly Sue DeConnick talks about the character, and her reaction to the newly announced Marvel film: "I feel so proud of her, like Carol is this person who lives in my head, and 'look what you did, girl!' It feels like a friend just got a promotion." [Speakeasy]
Publishing | Chris Butcher announced that, after three years as marketing director, he's left UDON Entertainment to focus more fully on his work for the Toronto store The Beguiling (where he's manager) and the Toronto Comic Arts Festival (where he's festival director). [Comics212]
Legal | The Japanese publisher Square Enix has filed a counterclaim against SNK Playmore, asking Osaka District Court to rule that its manga Hi Score Girl doesn't infringe on copyrights held by the video game company. Earlier this year, SNK brought criminal copyright violation charges against Square Enix after learning Hi Score Girl contains more than 100 unauthorized images of characters from SNK Playmore games. The manga has been put on hold because of the dispute. [Anime News Network]
Conventions | Who's buying, and how much are they spending, at conventions? Rob Salkowitz mines the numbers from a recent Eventbrite poll of convention-goers to get some answers: Most people spend between $100 and $500 per person; cosplayers actually spend a bit more than average; and women shell out more money at conventions, while men spend more online. [ICv2]
Editorial cartoons | The New York Times has apologized to readers who were offended by an editorial cartoon about India's space program that depicted the country as a man in traditional dress, leading a cow and knocking at the door of the "Elite Space Club." "The intent of the cartoonist, Heng Kim Song, was to highlight how space exploration is no longer the exclusive domain of rich, Western countries," reads the apology, signed by editorial page editor Andrew Rosenthal. "Mr. Heng, who is based in Singapore, uses images and text — often in a provocative way — to make observations about international affairs. We apologize to readers who were offended by the choice of images in this cartoon. Mr. Heng was in no way trying to impugn India, its government or its citizens." [The New Indian Express]
Fans of Batman, and of Jock, take note: The acclaimed artists of such series as The Losers and the upcoming Wytches has donated a page from Detective Comics #871 for an eBay auction to benefit a 2-year-old with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Although Nathaniel's prognosis is said to be good, he faces a few years of treatment, during which time his parents will have to make regular trips to the hospital.
Maybe it's the exhaustion talking, but I can't stop watching this GIF of Jim Lee, Grant Morrison, Geoff Johns, Dan DiDio, John Romita Jr. and Scott Snyder from the Entertainment Weekly Social Media booth at Comic-Con International. It may be my favorite thing today, at least until I find the next thing …
Wednesday was Batman Day, the official date for celebrating the character's 75th anniversary. It's fine to have a Batman Day, I guess — I've been getting emails from online bookstores saying "Celebrate Batman Day with our sales!" so it's coming across in practice like President's Day — but Batman is so ubiquitous in pop culture that you might as well have a McDonald's Day or a Coca-Cola Day. (In a perfect world there would be a Rockford Files Day.)
Anyway, appropriately enough, each of the two regular Bat-books DC published this week looked at one end of Batman's timeline. Batman Vol. 2 #33 wrapped up "Zero Year," the latest (and perhaps the most epic) version of the character's origins; and Batman and Robin Vol. 2 #33 presented "Robin Rises, Part One," the latest chapter in Damian Wayne's posthumous saga. While the former ended impressively, the latter is off to a slow start.
* * *
DC Entertainment and Warner Bros.' year-long celebration of Batman's 75th anniversary will continue in a big way later this month at Comic-Con International in San Diego, with several of the creators most associated with the character set to appear on the "Batman 75: Legends of the Dark Knight" panel on Thursday, July 24.
Notably, The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One's Frank Miller — in a relatively rare appearance at a comics-centric panel — will join fellow Bat-luminaries Grant Morrison, Jim Lee, Denny O'Neil, Neal Adams, current Batman team Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, and DC Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns.
On Saturday, DC will commemorate the Caped Crusader's storied history in other media, with Batman: The Animated Series vet Paul Dini, longtime Batman voice actor Kevin Conroy, Batman '66 Meets the Green Hornet co-writer Ralph Garman and more.
The two panels are something of a bisected version of the treatment DC gave Superman last summer, with a Superman 75th Anniversary panel including folks from both the worlds of comics (Morrison, Dan Jurgen) and movies/television (Henry Cavill, Tim Daly).
Conventions | MCM London Comic Con have announced that 101,600 people attended the May 23-25 show, which is being dubbed "the largest event of its kind ever held in the U.K." That figure represents an increase of more than 31,500 from the May 2013 installment, and 13,600 from the October show. [MCM London Comic Con]
Creators | Kyle Anderson talks to director John Carpenter and writer Eric Powell (The Goon) about Big Trouble in Little China, the BOOM! Studios comic that picks up where the movie left off. Powell talks about renting the movie as a kid: "My sister and I would always go in there, and we'd always need to get a funny one and a scary one. Big Trouble kind of covered both of those situations." The comic debuts on June 4. [Entertainment Weekly]
Although we might reasonably expect a solid dose of black-caped entertainment in each installment of the weekly Batman Eternal, its brain trust has called the first three issues its "pilot episode" — that is, an arc that sets up the premise and introducing key characters and concepts. Therefore, today we'll take a look at the pilot, plus a few notes on this week's Issue 4.
Of course, the phrase "pilot episode" comes from television, and Batman Eternal so far feels very much like a TV show. Specifically, it has the feel of a TV show with a season or two under its belt. I say that both because Eternal starts off trading on previous Bat-history and bringing older characters into the New 52 status quo, and because it plunges right into the thick of things, assuming its readers know the basic Batman setup. There are no gratuitous operatic displays of Batman soaring over the skyline, cape billowing in the wind. For that matter, not counting a couple of standard Batman intimidation scenes, and a narrow escape for a returning character (all in Issue 3), the pilot's big action sequences are confined to the first issue.
What fills out these three issues otherwise is a lot of conversation, devoted mainly to laying out who will be doing what. Cops talk about office and city politics. Batman exposits with Gordon, Alfred and Catwoman. Alfred checks in with the extended Bat-clan.* Reporters discuss the latest big story. Criminals (super and otherwise) plan for what's coming. To a certain extent this is a function of the overarching plot, and the end of Issue 3 suggests things are going south quickly — but whatever those developments are, Batman Eternal would rather leave them off-screen in favor of people talking about them. To his credit, artist Jason Fabok finds ways to make these discussions visually interesting, mostly by playing with shadows and camera angles. Still, not to spoil Issue 3, but if this were a TV pilot, it'd probably show the carnage and use the dialogue as voice-overs.
That said, Eternal's first arc is neither dull nor anticlimactic. Overall, the series' premise is well-suited to its format, and the first three issues are generally successful at establishing that premise. They're not perfect, but collectively they build to a pretty dire situation that, at this point, seems to justify recruiting all the Bat-people for the better part of a year. Eternal pretty clearly runs with the notion of Gotham City — or, at least, an id-fueled notion of what Gotham should be — "attacking" Batman. Current head Bat-guru Scott Snyder used that to inform the "Court of Owls" storyline. Here, though, that notion on a larger scale allows Eternal to justify its scope and length.
Digital comics | In today's Amazon-acquires-comiXology article, Rachel Edidin deflates much of the hype, and the panic, surrounding the deal, pointing out that comics distribution is already a monopoly, large corporations already run the comics market, and comics have been available on Kindle all along: "Is the concern […] a distribution monopoly? If so, the direct market is in no position to criticize: over the last 15 years, Diamond Comics Distributors has consumed almost all independent print distribution in comics, and dictates practices and policy to retailers and publishers alike. The idea that print comics are somehow more independent than their digital cousins — or a scrappy underdog fighting the good fight against evil corporate profiteers — is frankly ridiculous." [Wired]
Awards | Michael Cavna talks with Kevin Siers of the Charlotte Observer about winning the Pulitzer Prize in cartooning. [Comic Riffs]
I have to imagine there were almost as many forehead-slaps as high-fives in the room at the meeting where someone suggested DC Comics devote their next weekly comic to the Batman franchise. There had to be as many people thinking, "Why didn't I think of that?" as there were people saying, "Good thinking!"
"More Batman" has rarely been a bad business decision for the publisher, and not only is the franchise carrying more than its fair share of the 52-ish books that make up the DCU line, the Scott Snyder/Greg Capullo flagship title continues to perform at crazy-high numbers. So why not produce another Batman book, and rather than sticking it in a corner of the franchise, far from the main book, the one that seems to "count" the most, why not tie it closely to Snyder's book? And hey, why not ship the thing weekly? Again, high fives!
I really love weekly comics, although the format has some pretty unique pressures, which we've seen play out various ways as DC has tried different routes over and over to get to weekly comics, with no two efforts—52, Countdown, Trinity, Wednesday Comics, and the bi-weeklies Brightest Day and Justice League: Generation Lost—really being produced in quite the same way.
The most obvious pressure is that getting these things to ship on time like clockwork often means sub-par art, so as much as I was personally looking forward to Batman Eternal, I was frightened as much as disappointed to see the art starting out bad; this was, after all, the issue that should be the best looking.
Just in case those Court of Owls masks weren't creepy enough for you, DC Comics will release the paperback collection of Batman's "Death of the Family" storyline with a replica hand-painted vinyl latex mask of The Joker, with sewn-on hair.
Yes, that's a mask based on the one the Clown Prince of Crime made out of his own skin, after having the Dollmaker carve off his face in the relaunched Detective Comics #1. Even if you don't follow the comic, you'll likely recognize the mask from DC's marketing for Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's "Death of the Family" arc (above).
Welcome to Best of 7, where we talk about "The best in comics from the last seven days" — which could be anything from an exciting piece of news to a cool publisher's announcement to an awesome comic that came out.
This week is pretty packed, as we have news, reviews, a con recap and a whole year's worth of announcements from one publisher. So buckle your seat belts and hold on tight as we aim our DeLorean at the last seven days …
Digital comics | Casey Baseel has more details on Kadokawa's new digital manga service ComicWalker, which will launch on March 22. The service will include a mix of original comics and manga that are currently serialized in Kadokawa's magazines, such as Shonen Ace. The comics will be available in English and Chinese as well as Japanese, although initially just 40 will be translated. Kadokawa hopes to add French translations as well, to bring in readers in France and French-speaking Africa, which is not well served by manga publishers right now. The first three chapters of each series will always be available for free; collected editions will be available online two weeks after print publication and will remain available, for free, until the next volume comes out. The idea is clearly to use digital to entice people to buy the volumes in print, and to draw new readers to older series, Kadokawa is adding color pages to the classics Mobile Suit Gundam and Neon Genesis Evangelion. [Japan Today]

I can appreciate that you haven't had many issues in 20 years but that doesn't automatically mean that what you sell is the best. Also North Star has had a relatively recent redesign that has removed a lot of material from their windows.
You may not have had any complaints regarding air leakage, but the industry air infiltration tests prove that the North Star window leaks a lot more air that others. If you go to the Energy Star web site you can look this up.
North Star = .48 L/S/M squared
Strassburger = .03 L/S/M squared
That's 16x s more air past a North Star window.
Add to this the greater expansion and contraction rate. The Strassburger window will win hands down in a comparison test.
Here are a few things to consider. North Star extrudes from a pellet. This means that the vinyl has already been extruded one time before it is extruded into the window profiles. The main problem with this method is that the additives are slightly evaporated during the second extrusion phase decreasing some of the properties of the vinyl. Many companies do this so that they don't have to store all the different additives, and have the mixing equipment. Another disadvantage is that the extruder (North Star for example) has lost control of the vinyl quality. The big advantage for them is that they only need to inventory the vinyl pellets.
Another thing is that the North Star window has been built with a narrower window sash than most of their competitors. This may offer a narrower mullion when the windows are joined, but the main benefit is for the ER numbers. More glass area means more solar heat gain which goes well with their Hard Coat Low E. The negative is that they are building a weaker window, and if you use U values the window will not perform nearly as well when tested with a soft coat low E

Oran dealer?
Could someone recommend a good Oran windows dealer/installer? I've come to the conclusion that their windows would give us the best ER value for windows with grills, but I have no idea where to get these windows. The numbers Oran gave to me lead to dealers for which I can find no further information - positive or negative.Reply With Quote LOG IN TO THANK No one has yet thanked tevion for this post.

"184.108.40.206 Windows
Unless otherwise specifically required by the window manufacturer, the following clearances shall apply to
the installation of a window (except when installed into an existing frame):
(a) Except as provided for in Item (e), the width of the rough opening shall
(i) be between 19 mm (3/4 in) and 38 mm (1-1/2 in) greater than the width of the window frame;
(ii) provide a minimum gap of 9.5 mm (3/8 in) and a maximum gap of 19 mm (3/4 in) at each side
of the window. The window shall be centred in the rough opening such that the gap at each
side of the window is the same, i.e., ±3 mm (±1/8 in).
(b) Except as provided for in Items (c) and (e), the height of the rough opening shall
(i) be between 25 mm (1 in) and 44 mm (1-3/4 in) greater than the height of the window frame;
(ii) provide a minimum gap of 12.5 mm (1/2 in) and a maximum gap of 22 mm (7/8 in) at the top
and bottom of the window. The gap at the top of the window may be larger than the gap at
the bottom.
(c) In masonry veneer wood-frame walls, to allow for wall shrinkage, there shall be a
(i) 6 to 12 mm (1/4 to 1/2 in) clearance between the jamb and the masonry;
(ii) minimum 9.5 mm (3/8 in) clearance between the window sill and masonry sill on the first floor;
(iii) minimum 25 mm (1 in) clearance between the window sill and masonry sill on the second floor."

Condensation around new windows
I just bought new windows from a company with high rating from HomeStars.com
There seems to be a lot of Condensation happening around all the windows in the house.
Could someone please let me know if this is normal?
I have the humidity let set to 20 on the furnace.Reply With Quote LOG IN TO THANK No one has yet thanked daku7 for this post.
Feb 1st, 2010 12:07 PM #2226
If you had condensation before then it could be a number of things. To reduce condensation not only do you have to have the humidity levels low enough, you also have to have enough airflow. If the windows are covered by blinds, drapes, California shutters this can reduce airflow enough to cause condensation.
Windows never cause condensation as they don't produce water, they only show the conditions. The better the glass (u value, not ER) the higher the humidity you can have before condensation occurs ( soft coat low E is better than hard coat as it has a higher U value). The other factor which can effect the windows resistance to condensation is the type of spacer being used. Non metallic spacers are warmer than metallic ones, which spacer is best all around is another conversation.
There are so many things that can cause and cure this you should have the company that sold you the windows come by and help better explain this as to your homes conditions. Each home is different. It would be best to try and have them come by when the condensation is happening, and to leave the house in the same condition, window covering open or closed etc.
Feb 1st, 2010 12:19 PM #2227
Unfortunately this cannot always be followed in a replacement situation. No one has X ray eyes to see what's in the wall of an existing home, and not to many customers want all their casings removed for installers to look at each and every gap, and then wait for 4-12 weeks for the new windows. Also the minimum clearance of 1" below a second floor window sill and the masonry sill is not needed as the house will have already shrunk. A smaller gap of 1/4" - 3/8" is more than enough.

Please some advice
We've finally narrowed it down to either Gienow windows or Euroclad Building systems (they use PH Tech extrusions). Can someone give some advice on the quality of both and which one they would chose and why. I've tried to look up the CSA ratings on both, but for some reason they aren't listed. Is there another way to check this without going to that specific website? Both companies say the windows have been CSA A440 tested so i don't know why i'm having trouble with this
Thanks in advance for responding. This forum has been really great for my research. The guy at Gienow couldn't believe how much I knew!!
Feb 2nd, 2010 08:38 AM #2229
I don't see Euroclad on the Energy star site, and neither one of them on the CSA listings. One of the reasons I suspect this being the case is because PH tech had their system tested and Euroclad buys the system off of them and use that excuse.This happens quite frequently in this business. Smaller companies(and I'm not saying Euroclad is) will not have the finances to test their own product. Even though I like the PH tech extrusion I would probably trust someone who has tested the products themselves and stick with Gienow

So Windowexpert,
If a product has the best vinyl (ph tech) and the best glass (cardinal), wouldn't that automatically make it a better product than a builder entry window? We are having a euroclad rep come to the house along with our builder. Can you suggest some important questions I might ask? ALso, in a previous email, you were right in saying that their ratings are piggybacked on ph tech. He states that they will have energy star in a month or so. Is there a way for me to verify this?
Again, any information is greatly appreciated!
Feb 2nd, 2010 07:14 PM #2231
this may very well be the case that they will have all the tests done in a month because it does take a while. On the other hand it can easily be a sales pitch. If they are getting the results in a month then ask him what the ratings are... surely the company will know them even though they are not posted on their site.
Your theory about using the best vinyl and the best glass? That's a tough question first of all there are alot more parts than just glass and vinyl. If I went to the Mercedes dealership and bought all the parts to make my new car I doubt it would turn out as good as the ones coming from a state of the art plant in Germany

I did get the CSA results from euroclad, but not the energy star U factor, SHGC, and ER.
They are as follows:
Casements: A3 B7 C5 F20
Fixed/Picture: B7 C5 (note:no air filtration or fixed entry rating as fixed)
Patio Slider: A3 B4 C3 F5
To compare with Gienow
Casements: A3 B7 C5 U-1.10 SHGC .16 ER 25
Fixed/Picture: B7 C4 U-.95 SHGC .20 ER 31
Patio Slider A3 B2 C3 no data
So I guess I should be asking how they put their product together? etc. Could you tell me what specific things I might look for when the euroclad rep comes. Or things to be weary of?
Feb 3rd, 2010 09:59 AM #2233
ask them what hardware they use. Some are made in China and some is made in Canada/US. Do they wet glaze or dry glaze, in other words do they use silicone or some kind of caulking when they are inserting the glass. Who is their glass supplier or do they make their own glass units. Cardinal is the manufacturer of glass but if they use 30 year old equipment to put it together chances are you will have problems. Ask if you can see their manufacturing facility, if it's a solid company they will probably let you have some kind peek at it. I suspect they are a smaller operation who buys their extrusion, glass and everything else and slaps it together, depending on their welding machinery even with the PH tech extrusion those welds can come apart fairly quickly. Warranty is another good one: we always knock Home Depots and Rona's of this world but their exchange policies are great, I think we have all returned something there at one point or another, the smaller guys just want your $$$ and run

This is great information. Thanks again for taking the time to write. I'll post an update after our meeting with Euroclad. In your opinion, is dry or wet glazing better?

Ordering a chair sight unseen was something I had never done and I was quite nervous about it. However I had lowered my expectations so I wouldn't be too disappointed. What a pleasant surprise to get something that looks quite a bit nicer than anyone would think for the price. Really quite a value. The fabric had a softer, fuzzier feel than you might think from the photo. And the color was slightly darker than the web photo on all the different monitors I tried. But more than close enough unless you really need something specific. The best part is that it is (as stated in the dimensions) slightly smaller and lower than the $1200 versions, so its perfect for my smaller living room. Plus that little smidge lower seat means I can have my feet touch the floor while rocking or gliding. Something that wasn't comfy on other chairs. And I'm just around average at 5'4. The seat cushions are slip covered which is a nice bonus. The only downside so far is that I'm having trouble getting a turn to sit in it!
Just got the chair home and so far so good. It's very comfortable. It rock/glides and swivels from side to side. Color is perfect and material is nice enough. It fits in the room nicely (using in nursery) and looks attractive. It can easily move to any room in the house when it is no longer needed for rocking and reading to children. I'm very satisfied with this purchase, though it did take quite a while for it to arrive at the store for pickup. Ordered 08/13/09 - available for pick up on 09/03/09.
I ordered two of these chairs. They are extremely comfortable and well constructed. Tall people might find them a little low to the ground, or might consider ordering a foot rest or ottoman. I scotchguarded them prior to ever using, because we have a pet. We are very satisfied with this purchase.
Lovely Glider...exceeded my expectations! I absolutely love the fabric and it is very comfortable. Perfect for my nursery. HOWEVER, the Newco Gliding Ottoman in beige is a COMPLETELY different fabric. The colors blend well but they are still noticeably different.

Some cool ideas. I really enjoyed the pads in the background and the beat. You should try modulating keys to generate continued interest, and using volume dynamics to create contrast. Lastly, the sound sort of implies Dorian Minor, but that chord at the end of the melodic motif has a b6 which kind of clashes with the vibe, try raising that weird note up a semitone to the natural 6. Keep getting those ideas out.
Awesome review, thank you. :)
