Hi all. I currently have a Linode VPS, and would like to set up a small PBX for my own personal use using Asterisk 1.6 and FreePBX 2.8. My Linode is currently running Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick). Over the last couple of years, I've been slowly learning my way around Linux, and Ubuntu is the distro I feel most comfortable with. However, I often still follow tutorials and articles such as those in the Linode Library, especially for software, such as Asterisk and especially FreePBX where I feel the documentation could perhaps be made much more intuitive for the end user. I used the following guide to set up my system: http://library.linode.com/communications/voip-services/ The following section, however, is causing me some concern: I followed those instructions, as well as the steps below it to get my kernel set up for the DAHDI modules/drivers. And in fact, did get a system running with Asterisk and FreePBX. However, I noticed that my load averages were quite high; they were constantly staying around the 1.50 mark. As this was a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10, I was slightly concerned; the main processes that were running were MySQL, Apache and obviously Asterisk. I thought it may be possible that some fine-tuning of configuration of one or more of these processes might be required, so to test this theory, I killed MySQL, Asterisk and Apache. The load averages only dropped by about 0.10. My concern increased somewhat when I looked through the list of running processes with ps -e. It seemed to me that there were a lot of processes running that I a. didn't know the use of, and b. hadn't purposely started myself. One of these was something along the lines of sfc-netfront/0. I Googled this, and came across a mailing list post about high load averages on Amazon EC2 Ubuntu 10.04 AMIs. The mailing list did not provide much, if any useful information, however I am now almost convinced, until it is shown otherwise, that the EC2 Linux Image is to blame for the high load averages. I can only assume this is the case at the moment as I don't have any further information. So, can anyone shine a light on the reason for these high load averages? Is there something in the Linux EC2 Image that can be removed, disabled etc that would prevent such high loads? Is there an alternative to using this image, such as another Linux kernel image that has the required DAHDI modules? Am I barking up the wrong tree completely thinking that the EC2 Image is to blame? Running Asterisk without DAHDI was suggested to me, which would be fine - I can't see myself really needing conferencing functionality. However, the Asterisk package in Apt requires DAHDI as a dependency. I did install DAHDI to satisfy this dependency, and as you would expect, got tons of errors. However, Asterisk seemed happy to install. I then ran: asterisk -r and was told that communication with Asterisk failed and to check that asterisk.ctl exists. I can only assume that the only way to run Asterisk without DAHDI modules is to compile it from source? Thanks in advance.
I have running asterisk, frepbx, a2billing, hylafax on single VPS, manual install and all working fine. avarage memory usahe 350MB, cpu load, 0.1 you need dahdi modules only for conference calls. install dahdi dummy from tarball.
What Linux distro are you running? Are you using the linux-image-ec2 kernel or an alternative? Yes, I know, and like I said in my original post, I don't actually need conferencing. Do you not actually need a kernel image such as linux-image-ec2 if you install DAHDI Dummy?
at home ubuntu server 9.10 on intel atom box on production server: OpenVZ VPS with debian lenny just download dahdi-all and install it before installing asterisk
I have tried installing DAHDI without success. This brings us full-circle, back to my original problem; I need linux-image-ec2 installed to install the DAHDI modules successfully, and linux-image-ec2 drives up my load averages.
I use kernels: 2.6.31-14-generic on ubuntu 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5.028stab069.6 on OpenVZ - Debian Lenny try this. Code: mkdir /usr/src/asterisk cd /usr/src/asterisk wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/old-releases/asterisk-188.8.131.52.tar.gz wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/old-releases/asterisk-addons-184.108.40.206.tar.gz wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/dahdi-linux-complete/dahdi-linux-complete-2.4.0+2.4.0.tar.gz wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/libpri/libpri-220.127.116.11.tar.gz wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/libss7/libss7-1.0.2.tar.gz tar -xzf asterisk-184.108.40.206.tar.gz tar -xzf asterisk-addons-184.108.40.206.tar.gz tar -xzf dahdi-linux-complete-2.4.0+2.4.0.tar.gz tar -xzf libpri-220.127.116.11.tar.gz cd /usr/src/dahdi-linux-complete-2.4.0+2.4.0 make make install cd /usr/src/asterisk/libpri-18.104.22.168 make install cd /usr/src/asterisk/asterisk-184.108.40.206 ./configure make menuconfig make make install make samples asterisk & cd /usr/src/asterisk/asterisk-addons-184.108.40.206 ./configure make make install
Thanks, I will try that when I get home later today. I'm thinking, if I compile DAHDI from source, or at least attempt to, I might be able to install Asterisk from a pre-compiled package, such as those found in Apt. I am visually impaired, and the menuselect screens during the Asterisk make process are a bit difficult to navigate from the keyboard as I remember correctly. But again, thanks for the suggestion. Linode use Xen-based virtual servers, which is why I am having such problems with kernel modules, etc.

A Campbells soup can painting by Andy Warhol, one of the iconic works of Pop Art history, went on show in London today.
The painting and another quintessentially American work — Roy Lichtenstein's Cup of Coffee — feature in Christie's sale of post-war and contemporary art on Tuesday.
Warhol's soup can paintings were first conceived in 1962 and are regarded as a landmark in post-war culture. This one, expected to make up to £3.25 million, was previously in the collection of New York dealer Ileana Sonnabend.
Christie's expert Francis Outred said the fact the Warhol and the Lichtenstein were being sold in London was testament to the importance of the capital in selling to the growing band of international collectors in new markets such as Asia and the Middle East. He said: "It is quite unusual to get a really important piece of American Pop Art in London. Usually we put Pop Art in New York. But people from all over the world have come to live here and it's changed the complexion of London as a sales centre."
Yet the hottest works on sale are an untitled work by Jean-Michel Basquiat and a masterpiece by the 54-year-old British artist Peter Doig, Jetty (1994).
The work by Basquiat, the one-time graffiti artist who died aged 27 in 1988, is part of a group of important double portraits. One sold for $48.8 million in New York in May and this is expected to make at least £15 million.
The Doig has an estimate of up to £6 million — only seven years after he first breached the £1 million mark at auction. Mr Outred said Doig was now the most eagerly sought of all British artists of his generation and this was "probably his greatest work".
"People who collect Picasso and Monet are now adding Doig's work to their collections," he said.

It was a quiet night at Arizona Stadium after the Wildcats wrapped up an evening practice after a day off on Sunday.
The UA is in the dog-days of training camp, and it's starting to show, according to coach Rich Rodriguez.
"What happens now is we're right in the middle of camp, and guys start to get tired and start to feel sorry for themselves," Rodriguez said. "Practice becomes a drag. But this is one-a-day. It's not like three-a-days back in the day."
Rodriguez said the practice stretched a little longer than normal tonight, because they had to repeat some drills or stop the clock to perfect some things.
It sounds like the normal up-and-down of training camp. There have been some good days and bad days.
The Wildcats will have a closed walkthrough tomorrow morning and then a full practice at night.
In the time being, some notes and quotes:
• The Wildcats are still dealing with a decent amount of injuries. Jared Tevis is still out with a hamstring injury. Josh Kern, Jordan Allen, Dwight Melvin, Kaelin DeBoskie and Reggie Gilbert all remained out tonight.
"Some of the guys that are not practicing much are falling way behind as far as the depth chart is concerned," Rodriguez said. "They aren't going to come back and jump in the middle. A guy like Jared Tevis, it's still going to take him a while to get back, but he's a proven guy. The unproven guys, the more they miss, the farther they fall behind. It's just bad luck."
Jared Baker, who tore his ACL last season, nicked his knee on Saturday, but had an MRI, and it came back clean. He practiced today with no problem.
• Rodriguez had said earlier in camp that he could possibly play multiple quarterbacks in the opening game against UNLV.
That now seems less likely after getting his thoughts tonight: "This thing will separate itself eventually. I don't think it will be to (playing three guys). We have three more weeks of practice. I think it will start to separate itself by then. I'm not worried about it."
The coach shared his general philosophy for playing two quarterbacks: "It depends on how well they play. I don't look at it differently than any other position. If a guy is playing well, performing well, or two guys are playing well and performing well, you're OK. If one guy is clearly than the other, you want to play one. It's pretty simple. I've played two before. Tate Forcier and Denard Robinson at Michigan, they were both young guys and Adam Bednarik and Pat White at West Virginia."
• I asked Rodriguez if the talent level is noticeably higher this year than it was in his first. His answer surprised me a bit: "It's a fair question. I looked out the first year and we had Ka'Deem Carey and Matt Scott. Those are two NFL players. There was pretty good talent there. Defensively, we have a whole lot of different bodies than we had the first year. At some of the skill positions, we have more bodies and speed. But I think our opponents do too."
• Rodriguez on the experienced offensive line: "Physically, I'd like to see us be a little bit stronger at the point of attack. I certainly wouldn't expect any missed assignments or mental mistakes. We may have a couple. They should be handle to any blitz or any kind of look they see defensively."

10 Best (and Worst) Celebrity Kids
While it's too early to tell whether Shiloh Jolie-Pitt and Levi McConaughey will end up as Oscar winners, humanitarians or nude bongo-players, here are some second-generation celebrity kids who have come out on top, and others who have crashed and burned.
-Neil Turitz
Ask the child of a celebrity what it's like growing up as the child of a celebrity, and you're bound to get the standard answer, "Not sure what you mean. It's the only way I know." This is a fair response, but even the most cynical child of privilege has to know that it's not what most people would call normal. Though, judging by the way some people handle being the progeny of famous folk, normal is as normal does. We present our list of the 10 Best (and Worst) Celebrity Kids.
Again, and as always, we're certain that some of you will be appalled at the actresses we will have left out and the choices with which you just don't agree, but that's what they made comments sections for. And so, without further ado …
10. Rumer Willis
The daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis does a pretty good job standing on her own two feet. She even got a job at a shop in L.A. to support herself while she was trying to get acting work. Of course, with a pedigree like hers, Rumer might, possibly, be getting a bit of a fairer shake than the standard Hollywood ingénue. Still, her most recent film, Sorority Row, hardly set the box office on fire, so maybe the 21-year-old still has a thing or two to learn from her Die Hard dad on picking winners.
9. Kate Hudson
The daughter of Goldie Hawn might be as famous these days just for being famous, since it could be argued that her last truly good performance (and truly good film, for that matter), was one of her first: Almost Famous. That was in 2000, by the way. Now, the 30-year-old seems to be best known for dating Yankees' third baseman Alex Rodriguez, but we have high hopes for her upcoming musical Nine (out on November 25).
8. Bryce Dallas Howard
The jury is still out on how great an actress she is, but she does work. A lot. She's even scored a role in the third Twilight film, Eclipse, replacing Rachelle Lefevre. And now Bryce, 28, is branching out into being a producer, having Imagine Entertainment (her father Ron's company) buy a script called Restless, written by a college friend of hers.

Barrett-Jackson wasn't the only collector car auction happening in Scottsdale last week. In fact, there were three auctions in place. Russo and Steele and RM auctions also host their own Scottsdale exhibitions during the week. And you may be surprised to learn that an 1967 L88 Roadster was on the block at RM Auction's Arizona Biltmore auction. According to Autoblog.com, the bidding for the Corvette reached a high of $1,550,000 but was a no-sale as it failed to reach to the seller's reserve. Only 20 L88 427 ci Corvettes were produced in 1967.
The L88 was first owned by Tony DeLorenzo, Jr, son of Anthony G. DeLorenzo who was in charge of GM's public relations from 1957-1979. Tony bought the Corvette and headed straight for the track where it was raced until retirement in 1982. The Corvette was restored and has certificates from both Bloomington Gold and the NCRS for Top Flight.
To help promote the sale, this Corvette could have used some of the same marketing mojo that Proteam Corvettes used for pump up a fairly ordinary L36 427/390 hp coupe that just happened to be the last 1967 Corvette produced. So why RM Auctions and not Barrett-Jackson? Sellers Reserve….

Hard rockers Avenged Sevenfold are aiming to take over YouTube by teaming up with Machinima for a six-episode animated series entitled "Hail To The King", which will air this fall. The series is directed by Metalocalypse's Jon Schnepp and it definitely shows (the animation style is incredibly similar). The series will feature music from A7X's new album Hail To The King, which can be pre-ordered on iTunes.
In a Facebook post the band announced that they have been hard at work for 18 months on an iOS/Android action/adventure game. It was written and developed by Subscience Studios. No release date has yet been set.
Head below for the "Hail To The King" trailer.
Got any thoughts/questions/concerns for Jonathan Barkan? Shoot him a message on Twitter or on Bloody-Disgusting!
Too bad a terrible sellout band had to be attached to this. Oh well, better luck next time.
I honestly don't listen to this type of music, but I still love Metalocalypse. So if they get the same or similar type of humor in it I'll watch. Hell, if they start killing there fans at the end of the show I'll definitely watch..

Photo removed from sidebar. The process begins.
This image of tulips near Amsterdam is not spectacular per se; there are thousand of photos of Dutch tulip fields. The reason I had it in the sidebar was to remind me of the work of Yann Arthus Bertrand.
This is his website. Those who enjoy fine photography should explore the link.

Great Leggings for Everyday
I purchased these leggings for my 4 year old daughter because she keeps getting holes in the knees of other brands. So far these leggings have held up. They are slightly thicker and appear to be of better qualtity than ones I have bought previously. The fit, color, style is as expected. Will purchase again.

Superior leggings that last!
We bought these as part of my daughter's school uniform and I'm sure they will work great under her school jumper as the weather cools down. J Crew leggings really are a stand out among other brands in fit and quality. The navy is nice and dark. The material is thicker than other brands and we especially like the thick elastic waistband that J Crew/ Crewcuts uses. Keep it up please and we will be back for more and more.

Leading the Party: Coordination, Direction, and Communication
Party activists face a coordination problem: a critical mass (a barrier to coordination) must advocate a single policy alternative if the party is to succeed. The need for direction is the degree to which the merits of the alternatives respond to the underlying mood of the party. An individual`s ability to assess the mood is his sense of direction. These factors combine to form an index of both the desirability and the feasibility of leadership: we call this index Michels` Ratio. A sovereign party conference gives way to leadership by an individual or oligarchy if and only if Michels` Ratio is sufficiently high. Leadership enhances the clarity of intra-party communication, but weakens the response of policy choices to the party`s mood.

Nobel Prize in chemistry awarded for ribosome research
Ada Yonath, Thomas Steitz and Venkatraman Ramakrishnan will share the prize equally
By Rachel Ehrenberg, 10:38 AM October 7, 2009
DNA gets all the glory, but genetic material wouldn't be anywhere without ribosomes — cellular protein factories that build everything from insulin to fingernails. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced October 7 that three scientists will share the Nobel Prize in chemistry for unmasking the structure of the ribosome. The work enriched fundamental research on proteins, shed light on how life got going on Earth and is leading to the development of new antibiotics.

Between the Olympics and the success of the Hunger Games trilogy, with its bow and arrow-wielding heroine, archery is experiencing a resurgence. For the UCLA archery team, the timing couldn't be better.
Last season, UCLA sent a full team to the national championships for the first time in more than 10 years. But shortly after that squad earned a fourth place finish, several key archers graduated, leaving the team in need of new talent to replenish the ranks.
Enter New Archers Week, which offers the UCLA community five days of free archery lessons. The event, which took place last week, was moved this year to the Intramural Field in hopes of attracting curious students walking to class. In years past, New Archers Week was held where the team practices "" Sycamore field, next to the South Regional Library, hidden behind Saxon Suites. With hundreds of people per day lining up to take their turns at the row of targets across the Intramural Field, team members say their recruiting efforts were a greater success than they thought possible.
"So many people have been coming up asking if they can compete," said Jessica Leung, a second-year mechanical engineering student and the team's internal vice president. "We set up bows for 100 people, but there's still been a huge line every day."
Many students took full advantage of the opportunity, attending the event on multiple days and refining their skills before Friday's informal competition. Among that group was first-year biology student Randy Chow, who came to three of the event's five days. Chow, whose only previous background with the sport was at summer camp, found the experience to be much different from what he remembered as a child.
"It's been a long time since I shot, but I'm doing a lot better than I used to," he said. "Holding the bow and pulling it back actually takes a lot of stamina. When I used to shoot, I was a lot shorter and didn't have the muscle for it, but this time I didn't have any trouble at all."
Team members were quick to agree with Chow that the sport's physical demands are often underestimated. Alan Chan, a third-year aerospace engineering student who was one of the team's best performers at nationals last year, said he spends 20-30 hours a week working on his conditioning and technique.
"A lot of people think you need strong arms, but it's really all in your lower back," he said. "People with strong arms actually have a hard time because they think they have to use them. The coaches have to go in and mold their bodies, and teach them to use their muscles efficiently."
Chan's hard work has paid off: he placed 13th at the national tournament last year, and hopes to break into the top 10 this season. But he said new archers shouldn't be intimidated by the team's growing national reputation.
"There's lots of local competitions that anyone can compete in," Chan said. "Most competitions, you just have to be able to shoot without hurting anyone."
New team members have plenty of time to get competition-ready "" they won't compete until after winter break. Leung said that much time is needed to teach proper shooting form and avoid injury.
"It's a lot of technical stuff, because one little thing can throw everything off and you have to start all over. It's about how you hold the bow and how you set your bone structure, because the weight needs to go into your bone rather than your muscles," she said.
Such attention to detail, Leung says, makes archery practice a very different affair than that of other sports. Archers focus on one aspect of their technique "" from how they're holding the bow to how they're using different back muscles "" for the duration of the three-hour practice. But the archers don't let this razor-sharp focus distract them from having fun.
"At first, I was dead-set against competing "" I was worried about losing the fun of shooting," Leung said. "But they emphasized the fact that we're not competing for the sake of competing "" it's about the love of the sport."

Christopher Oddleifson is president and CEO of Rockland Trust Co. and its parent, Independent Bank Corp. The bank last month announced it would open a new Rockland Trust office in Providence. Oddleifson recently spoke to Providence Business News about the bank's decision to open the office, among other things.
PBN: What are some of the reasons you decided to open up a new Rockland Trust office in Providence?
ODDLEIFSON: We've been operating in Rhode Island for many years and based on our knowledge of the market, the competitive set, and how well we've already been received, we felt we should make a larger commitment to conducting business in Rhode Island. We feel we can significantly grow our already established portfolio in the market – which currently represents more than $220 million in recent financing support for local companies and more than $400 million in assets under management – by opening up an office there. We also believe the state of Rhode Island is primed for recovery and growth, and we look forward to partnering with area businesses and nonprofits to spur economic-development opportunities and job creation. We anticipate doubling our commercial lending in Rhode Island over the next two years.
PBN: Is there something about Rockland Trust you're particularly passionate about that most people don't know about?
ODDLEIFSON: A hallmark of our company that perhaps not too many people know about is our commitment to community service. All employees receive two paid days off annually to volunteer in the community, and we have an employee-based volunteer group, RockCorp (Rockland Trust Community Outreach Program). RockCorp supports nonprofit programs and organizations in our communities by providing volunteer assistance for special projects and events.
PBN: We've been told that Rockland Trust has very little turnover throughout the entire Rockland Trust organization and in fact, is often celebrated as one of the best companies to work for in Massachusetts. Why do you think that is?
ODDLEIFSON: At Rockland Trust, we believe that engaged employees lead to greater customer satisfaction. People enjoy working here because they feel respected and valued as employees. Our teams work together across all business lines to offer a holistic banking experience, a practice that encourages employees to feel a personal stake in the customers and the company. Rockland Trust empowers its employees to provide customers with an outstanding experience. Our highly personalized approach is rare in this industry and what sets us apart from our competitors.
PBN: Why do you think your customers are loyal?
ODDLEIFSON: Rockland Trust operates under a customer-centric approach that acts as the basis for everything we do. We don't take our customers for granted, and we work hard to respond to each individual's specific needs.
I'm very passionate about this approach, because it allows us to offer the capabilities, resources and expertise of a large financial institution, combined with the personalized and flexible service of a community bank. Now more than ever, customers want a bank they can trust and customer service they can depend on. We advocate on behalf of our customers, treat them fairly and reward them for doing business with us.
PBN: Your background includes a great deal of community service. Is that more important to you as a bank president or as a member of the community? What do you get out of it?
ODDLEIFSON: Community service is extremely important to me personally and has been for many years, even prior to my arrival at Rockland Trust. As a person, I feel very lucky to be where I am, and it's important to my family and me that we give back to the communities that have welcomed us so warmly over the years.

UCLA takes step toward ultimate goal
LOS ANGELES When these rivals last met, UCLA retired Reggie Miller's jersey at halftime.
On Sunday, the Bruins retired USC's jerseys – and the players wrapped inside them – even sooner than that.
At various points of the first half at Galen Center, the score was 17-4, 34-19 and 42-23. After 20 minutes, the gap was 21 points – 47-26 – and, having witnessed Lane Kiffin all fall, no one around here seriously anticipated a three-touchdown comeback from the Trojans.
Not even the hilarious yet bizarre image of Athletic Director Pat Haden, a Rhodes scholar, remember, donning a football helmet and dancing among the students during a timeout could ignite the home team.
Maybe Kiffin should have joined Haden in the wacky promotion. Then again, he probably was too busy trying to figure out if deflating the basketballs would help.
USC, to its credit, did close to within single digits in the final five minutes, but UCLA's 75-59 payback victory most assuredly was the end result of an opening flurry. Not a knockout, exactly, but a series of staggering blows, certainly.
"We're not really a catch-up team," UCLA freshman guard Jordan Adams said. "So we wanted to get out early and throw the first punch."
Added junior forward David Wear: "We came out here and jumped them early."
This is a program that doesn't need to manufacture motivation. The players – touted as a magnificent collection of brilliant young talent – are huffing and puffing just to secure an NCAA berth. Ben Howland – the most successful coach in the Pac-12 during his tenure – is just trying to keep his job.
And against USC, the Bruins were only trying to right their entire universe, that's all.
At the end of January, they came out dead-legged against the Trojans at home, shot like the basket was swaying in the first half, and rallied to extend the game into overtime, where they lost anyway to an opponent that, two weeks earlier, had canned its coach.
"It was effort," Wear said. "Our effort just wasn't there. It was inexcusable. We watched a lot of film of that last game. I think that motivated us a lot just seeing how bad we played."
So continues the revolution – that's what Howland hopes it is, at least – of a team trying to sort out itself. Howland is still trying to solve his kid players, who, in turn, are attempting to figure out their coach and themselves.
Here, the Bruins won with no drama despite being without the injured Travis Wear, their second-leading rebounder and third-leading scorer, and with Shabazz Muhammad, their best player, shooting as if he were blind.
Turns out, Muhammad was. Sort of. He has been battling pink eye and, according to Howland, had his contacts in for the first time in four days. Muhammad took seven shots and missed five of them.
One of his attempts in the second half was nearly inhaled by USC's Dewayne Dedmon. The 7-footer was content to simply swat Muhammad's layup try like a brother initiating a younger sibling.
Pressed for an explanation of what happened to his dynamic freshman forward and future NBA starter, Howland chose to move on to a topic he considered more relevant.
"It's all about winning," he said. "That's what we're trying to do here. It's not about the stat sheet other than the 'W' or the 'L.' "
ESPN's latest prediction has the Bruins (20-7, 10-4) as a No. 7 seed in the NCAA Tournament. CBS forecasts the Bruins as a No. 8, while adding the notation "on the bubble."
Howland knows this, of course, which might explain why he was so excited Sunday with the inspired effort of Tony Parker. A freshman averaging only seven minutes a game, Parker had eight points – all in that decisive first half – in 17 minutes total.
He is 6-foot-9 and 275 pounds, meaning Parker's emergence would only make the Bruins deeper. And wider. The performance also highlighted the character of a player who, given his lack of opportunity, could instead be a stewin' Bruin.
"He's been a great teammate," Howland said. "There isn't a nicer kid that I've ever coached. Not a nicer human being, a young man, ever. And I've been doing this a long time. For me, that's a big statement, but it's the honest-to-God truth."
UCLA next returns home to play Arizona State. The game is Wednesday.
Yeah, we just double-checked. It's definitely Wednesday.
"I didn't even know we were playing Wednesday until yesterday," Howland claimed. "That's how much I'm looking forward to just the next game. I found out yesterday because a friend of mine called me and wanted tickets. I said, 'You sure we're playing Wednesday?' "
The Bruins will be looking for another great start against the Sun Devils. That, however, isn't the most important thing for the future of this program.
No, what really matters now, for the younger and celebrated players and their older and concerned coach, is the quality of the finish.

Lawrence of Arabia - the film & our competition
Monday 11 December 2006 by Mal Booth. 1 comment
Exhibitions, Lawrence of Arabia and the Light Horse
Before the recent Canberra screening of Lawrence of Arabia, we advised that there would be a competition and that we'd give out details first to the audience for the screenings in Canberra at Electric Shadows cinema. So, as promised, here are the details of the competition.
Review the film in 500 words or less by sending in your review as a comment on this blog and we will publish the best entry on the blog. That's all.
Matthew Gibbs
Thomas Edward Lawrence, the five-and-a-half-foot-tall bookish-looking Englishman is fortunate to be immortalised on film by the six-foot-plus Irish actor Peter O'Toole. With his piercing blue eyes and golden hair, O'Toole makes Lawrence look like Adonis. Noel Coward joked that the actor was so "pretty" that the movie was in danger of being retitled 'Florence of Arabia'. Physically and emotionally, 'Lawrence of Arabia' creates a powerful impression of Lawrence and his leadership of the Arab revolt against the Turks during WWI. Directed by David Lean and based on Lawrence's own account in 'Seven Pillars of Wisdom', the movie won a swag of Oscars in 1962, including Best Picture, Best Direction and Best Original Music. Only Gregory Peck's performance as Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird, judged the greatest hero of American film, denied O'Toole the Best Actor gong. It's hard to believe that Marlon Brando was originally preferred. Although the veracity of some of the events shown on screen is questionable (the Aussies not the Arabs were the first to Damascus), opinions about Lawrence have shifted over the decades like desert sands. He was, as his friend Winston Churchill said of Russia, "a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma". In any event, 'Lawrence of Arabia' is an entertainment not a documentary. For facts, and a bicep workout, read Jeremy Wilson's 1,200-page authorised biography. 'Who was Lawrence?' is the movie's central theme. Mourners interviewed on the steps of St Paul's Cathedral after his funeral express disparate views from the outset. The film is told in flashback, opening with Lawrence's death in a motorcycle accident. The major episodes of Lawrence's guerrilla war are depicted, including his first meeting with Prince Feisal (played by Lean favourite Alec Guinness), the heroic capture of Akaba and his assault by the Turkish Bey at Deraa (a brilliant cameo by Jose Ferrer who gives his character a sickly cough to symbolise his sickly designs on Lawrence). Lawrence's enigmatic nature manifests throughout, from his mixed feelings about violence (he confesses to General Allenby that he enjoyed killing a man), to the contrast between his awkwardness in army uniform and the naturalness with which he dons Arab robes. The film has depth beyond the action. Robert Bolt's screenplay is as literate and sophisticated as anything the author of 'A Man for All Seasons' wrote for the theatre. While Maurice Jarre's music evokes the exoticness of the Middle East and the undulating vastness of its desert landscape. 'Lawrence of Arabia' is an epic masterpiece that achieves an intimacy with its central character. We witness Lawrence's inner demons and outward decency, his traumas and triumphs. Who he was remains moot. For O'Toole, sublime in his first major role and appearing in almost every scene, Lawrence has been a hard act to follow. T. E. Lawrence was already one of the best-known Britons of the Twentieth century. 'Lawrence of Arabia' ensures his celebrity for all time.

The XES director was having trouble finding a producer but looks like his problem is solved
A little birdie tells us that Ram Gopal Varma will be teaming up with the Balaji head honcho, Ekta Kapoor for his next film. Now RGV can breathe a sigh of relief especially as things haven't been in his favour lately. The debacle of his last venture Ice Cream and then his online tutorial to teach the art of 'quick and slick' filmmaking being called off due to technical issues, is still fresh in people's mind. However now, that's a thing of the past as finally, there's progress on his next film.
A source was quoted, "The script of the film has been ready for a while. Unfortunately, Ramu had some trouble finding a producer for it. With Ekta's backing, there's nothing to stop Ramu's film from being seen as the 'project to watch out for' in Bollywood." Reportedly, Ekta and RGV met during the promotions of Ek Villain and that's when the latter mentioned the film. The source added, "Ramu had bounced the idea off Ekta and in two days, she agreed to the script."
Tanuj Garg, CEO of Balaji Motion Pictures said, "The project is in the pipeline, but it's too premature to talk about at this stage."
Well, the formal announcement of this tie-up will be made soon, we hear. So, stay tuned!

Gordon Bitner Hinckley was an American religious leader who served as the fifteenth president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from March 12, 1995 until his death. He was the oldest person to preside over the church in its history. As president of the church, he was considered by its members to be a prophet, seer, and revelator.
Hinckley's presidency was noted for the building of new temples, including a reconstruction of the historic Nauvoo Illinois Temple, the building of the 20,000 seat Conference Center, the issuance of the Proclamation on the Family, and the creation of the church's Perpetual Education Fund. Hinckley dedicated more LDS Church temples than anyone else, dedicating more than half of the current temples. At the time of Hinckley's death, approximately one-third of the church's membership had joined the church under Hinckley's leadership. As president of the church, Hinckley was also chairman of the Church Board of Education and Board of Trustees that governs the Church Educational System.

Edin Dzeko isn't guaranteed a regular role at Manchester City with the side having to please the likes of Sergio Aguero, Alvaro Negredo, as well as Stevan Jovetic, all of whom are battling for the striker's role. The Bosnia and Herzegovina forward is a strong finisher who also has a powerful header amongst his artillery. A switch to Tottenham could be a possible fix to their recent scoring drought up top.
The 28-year-old managed to bag 26 goals and provide 16 assist in 48 appearances but is often used as a substitute or deployed when star forward Aguero is injured. Mauricio Pochettino should keep the likes of Dzeko in mind should he decide to sell the misfiring Roberto Soldado. He will however need to come up with about £21 million if he wishes to bring the player to White Hart Lane.

Information for Patients
Also called: AML, ANLL, Acute myelogenous leukemia
Leukemia is cancer of the white blood cells. White blood cells help your body fight infection. Your blood cells form in your bone marrow. In leukemia, however, the bone marrow produces abnormal white blood cells. These cells crowd out the healthy blood cells, making it hard for blood to do its work. In acute myeloid leukemia (AML), there are too many of a specific type of white blood cell called a myeloblast.
AML is the most common type of acute leukemia in adults. This type of cancer usually gets worse quickly if it is not treated. Possible risk factors include smoking, previous chemotherapy treatment, and exposure to radiation.
Symptoms of AML include:
- Fever
- Shortness of breath
- Easy bruising or bleeding
- Bleeding under the skin
- Weakness or feeling tired
- Weight loss or loss of appetite
Tests that examine the blood and bone marrow diagnose AML. Treatments include chemotherapy, other drugs, radiation therapy, stem cell transplants, and targeted therapy. Targeted therapy uses substances that attack cancer cells without harming normal cells. Once the leukemia is in remission, you need additional treatment to make sure that it does not come back.

- - eating really really really slow and dropping weight
eating really really really slow and dropping weight since possum has been back in work i have upped her feed as she has turned into a typical thoroughbred as soon as she muscled up. she has gone from having a huge grass belly the being all streamline just like a tb. but her topline is trailing behind a little as is her butt. for now i have slowed the exercise schedule a little and upped her feed again. she was getting: 4 biscuits of hay a day hard feed (divided into 2 daily feeds) 8 scoops of lucerne chaffe ( all measured with a 1L/quart jug) 1kg of copra 1 kg millrun 1 kg equibix (wheat type crushed biscuit/pellet type stuff. 14% protein) 2 scoops of allrounder pellets 1 scoop rice bran her dose of equilibrium (complete supplement) other bits and pieces like mollasses, garlic, apple cider vinegar, veggie oil etc as of the last week she has been getting: 8 biscuits a day 12 scoops of lucerne chaffe and 1.5x the amount of everything else plus she has grass to graze on all day. she has become very non-chalant about eating. she comes into her yard and picks away at her hay. unless its lucerne hay days and then she hoes that down. our other hay is good too although it isnt lucerne and the other horses enjoy it but she literally picks out one strand of hay and slowly pulls it into her mouth and munches in the most uninterested way. today she did this for a while until eventually she turned around, pooped in her hay and went and stood as far away as possible from it. sometimes she stops eating her hay when she knows her hard feed is coming but she never poops in it and then avoids it like its a monster about to gobble her up. so then her hard feed comes in and she gets stuck into it for about 10 minutes and then she seems to just get sick of eating. she cant possibly be full. she just picks up a little bit at a time for ages. today for the first time EVER she didnt even finish her dinner. i know i have upped her feed but she is probing to be a hard keeper now she is in work. if i dont ride more than once a week you see the kilos pile on and then as soon as she is ridden she drops the weight even though she is getting plenty of food. so much it seems that she is getting full?? im not working her really hard when we do ride. i usually only have time for 30 minutes or so and we arent doing anything overly strenuous but at the same time she is still working. unless we are on a trail ride and then she can hold her head where she pleases which is usually still on the bit anyway. even on a long rein :roll: she is UTD with worming. they are wormed every 4 weeks to the day as most of the people where we keep them dont worm very regularly and the club isnt good at picking up the poop in the paddocks so i see the need to keep a more regular worming schedule. so im confused and annoyed. she looks great everywhere except her topline and butt. she has muscled up beautifully on her neck, shoulders, chest and back legs but her topline and rump seem to be lagging. it doesnt seem to be getting any better even with the extra feed that she just isnt eating anyways. any ideas??? sorry about the novel :D |
If she is eating that hard food steady for 10 minutes, yes, she might actually be full. Horses can't eat a lot all at once like carnivores. Can you break up her feeding into three or four a day instead? That might help. How old is she? Maybe what she used to be able to eat at one feeding has changed due to maturity? Is there any way to leave at least hay out all day for her to chew on? Or will everyone else eat it up on her? I have no ideas on the development -- age? training? dunno.... I'm sure someone does though. |
she is 15 with a pretty decent work schedule. she could be worked more but she gets something 6 days a week most of the time. we do mainly dressage and of the last few months, jumping. we've been showing every 2-3 weeks. i can only feed morning and night because of work and if i left hay out for her she would lose it to the others |
Well, since she used to eat for so long, my next thought would be pain. Could you have her teeth looked at? Does the bit bother her? Is she sensitive on the sides of her face at all? She could just be due for a float, or maybe she chipped a tooth on a piece of gravel, or maybe she's developed a loose tooth? Though I would think 15 would be a bit young for loose teeth. There must be a reason she is choosing to stop eating after only 10 minutes since it is such a marked difference from before. What about gastro troubles? How are her gut sounds -- same as always? more? less? Or maybe she has something lodged in her throat -- not enough to choke on but makes eating unpleasant? If you can't find anything on your own, I think you'll need a vet to help you. |
Since this is a change from her norm, I would have a vet out to check her over. It could be mouth problem or even stomach ulcers. Maybe due to the high amount of "non-forage" feed she is getting, she might be getting small bouts of colic - not severe, but enough to put her off food a bit. Good luck. |
First, I'd suggest to put her hay in feeder so she couldn't poop and pee in it. It won't solve the problem, of course, but at least less waste. :wink: And I agree, talk to the vet. The sudden change in behavior usually the issue of pain/ncomfort. BTW, did you change the hay? I mean another hay supplier, or another load of hay, another field etc.? I was running into issue with my horses poo/pee in hay a lot and it ended up being hay from the different field (same supplier), they just didn't like it much. :shock: |
her bit doesnt bother her. for working at home i have a loose ring snaffle on her. its one of those flayva bits. she loves it :) her guts sounds seem normal. the first day she didnt seem interested in her food was the first time i listened to her belly. its usually the first thing i do when they dont want to eat. everything seems fine. shes pooping fine. she eats her lucerne hay fine its just the other hay and her hard feed. cat - i asked my vet before i upped her feed if the amount was ok and he said yes. according to him she was on the lower end of her feed amount before but we had more grass then and she wasnt in work. he says what she is on now is the most she should have of her hard feed but isnt too much. however, as of yesterday i decided to down the hard feed a little and give her a bale of hay a day. ill put her in one of the smaller paddocks in the morning with a bale of hay and she can eat in there during the day. kitten - she usually has it in a feeder but hubby was taking it apart and giving it a good clean so she had it in a container on the ground. she pulled out all the barley hay trying to find the lucerne :roll: we did get our hay from somewhere new but from what we know its the wholesaler that sells to our usual produce barn so and they hay looks like the same stuff. its lovely barley hay...anyway i digress. after all that, when i gave her her feed yesterday i wet it down a little more. just to see if that could be it because i had cut back the amount of water i was adding. i also added a container of water to the yard she eats in. they are only ever in their seperate yards long enough to eat so i didnt think of it before but i remember when we were at the other place she would stop eating regularly to go and have a drink. now with less water in her feed she might want to drink which distracts/slows down her eating. with the extra water she ate normally. i was making it like a just damp crumble but apparently she prefers a 'mash' :roll: once she finished her dinner she started on her hay after taking a long drink from her water :) she didnt finish it all but i think that was more because jarred and cougar had already left and were making their way back down the paddock and she hates it when he leaves without her. sook! lol so for now i think she was just being little miss fussy pants :) |
Glad you have sorted things out with Possum :) |
hay can be different even from the same grower. We've got a couple of tons of just beautiful wonderful hay right now and the horses will NOT eat it. I understood from the vet that you have to reach way into the horses mouth to feel the back areas an see if there are any sharp edges. Maybe a call out to the vet to double check that they didn't miss something? I'd guess it had to do with the hay change. Try some different hay and see. Also, could you be working her too much? Did you ease into the heavy work schedule? That might make a difference. Maybe she's too tired to eat? |

Yeah, they'll do in pinch!
Well, the mail man decided to be extra nice today.
Mora Clipper and BK7 fresh out of the box:
After a little bit of time with some 550 (the back of the BK7 sheath):
I haven't had a chance to get out with them yet, but I can already tell this is a very good pair that will serve me well.
Yeah, they'll do in pinch!
Congrats on the new steel.
I gotta try one of those Moras. Seven looks pretty good too.
Congratulations on a couple nice blades and welcome to Beckerland!
The Mora is a great add to the BK7. The Mora weighs next to nothing and is stainless.
Congrats my man.
Yeah, I need to pull the trigger on a Mora too.
I just need to throw one in the cart on my next shopping spree!
Like I said, I haven't gotten to go out yet, which means I haven't explored the 7's true potential. But at the moment, the Mora has me at least as excited as the 7. Sharp as hell and just fun to use. Hopefully, I'll get out tomorrow and put the 7 to work. Regardless, I'm a very happy man right now.
The grind lines on all the KaBar BK-7's I've seen look very well executed. This one is no exception.
The 7 is by no means a small knife.
However, every time I hold it I am amazed at how fast in the hand it is!
An absolutely amazing knife.
What a sweet combo! Perfect for someone that wants to be prepared for wood processing or light chopping if need be but still not carry too much weight. They shall serve you well I'm sure.
I got one of those little Mora's a few months ago. A great little knife for the money. Still need a 7, though. I like the new-style sheaths. The Molle attachments are a nice touch.
Congrats. Looks like a great pair. I've had a Mora Clipper for years (carbon) and they are great little knives. That 7 looks like it will take care of everything else big and small. Post up some pics and after action reports. Take care.
I'd say that's a great day... looks like Christmas
Congrats on the new acquisitions and Welcome to the Forums!

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Cichlids
- - A question about Parrot fish (Cichlids)
A question about Parrot fish (Cichlids) I didn't see the Parrot fish in the fish profile. Does anyone know what water parameters suite them best? The parameters in this tank are as follows: Ammonia, 0 ph, 7.8 nitrites 0 nitrates 10 It's a 75g and well planted. Thanks for anyones input. |
ph is a little high imo but i dont think its a deal breaker. |
What else is in your tank? The parrot will make short work of the plants, I'd move them if possible. Posted via Mobile Device |
Am changing the title of this thread so as not to confuse it with Marine (Saltwater) Parrot Fish. |
Another point is do you mean Blood Parrot Cichlid or the True Parrot which has the scientific name Hoplarchus psittacus. There is a big difference in what size tank they need. True Parrots need very large 125g+ tanks for a pair as they grow to about 14-16" considerably more than the Blood Parrots who remain small. |
There's another kind? Whoops I was thinking blood parrot. :-D I'm sure the other kind will ruin your plants too, they just like doing that I'm general. Posted via Mobile Device |

Press TV
Friday, Oct 31, 2008
Congressman Ron Paul has criticized the election system in the US, saying that the system is not very democratic for third parties.
In an exclusive interview with MSNBC, the former Libertarian Party's nominee for president in 1988 also said that he had no other way except becoming a Republican candidate in 2008.
When asked why he did not try to be the nominee of the Constitution Party or the Libertarian Party in 2008, Paul said, "Mainly because the laws are very biased against some people doing that."
"Some won't even allow you to do it. The system is not very democratic for third parties and alternate choices. All the rules and all the laws are written by Republicans and Democrats, and it's very hard to get into debates," he added.
(Article continues below)
"If I hadn't been in the Republican primary, I wouldn't get into the debates. It's very hard to get on ballots, although they've done relatively well. It takes a lot of money. They'll spend half their money just getting on ballots. The system is very biased against competition."
He added that a large number of Americans do not have a good choice in the November 4 election.
Criticizing two presidential candidates, Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama, Paul said that both candidates supported the same foreign and monetary policy.
"Unfortunately, the two major candidates aren't even talking about Syria, Pakistan, and the things that are important," he concluded.

Posted by Kim Celestre on February 22, 2013
For the first time since I started my analyst role at Forrester in 2011, community conversations have surpassed social media conversations during my client meetings. Online communities and social networks have been around for many years, so why are communities such a "hot" topic among marketers? These days it is rare to find a company who has not either launched their own customer community, published a fan page on Facebook, or created a business profile on LinkedIn. These tactics are not new, so why the increased interest? I believe that marketers are finally beginning to absorb the fact that their perpetually connected customers frequently tap into online communities. Their customers frequent communities at each stage of their customer life cycle to gather information and connect with others. Today, marketers know that they can use online communities to reach, deepen engagement, and establish relationships with customers. In addition, marketers have a stronger case to increase investment in their community strategies since there is growing evidence that deploying a customer community can lead to positive ROI through support call deflection, increased leads, and stronger engagement with brand advocates.

What lurks in the unconscious mind of a set designer? Adrianne Lobel certainly found out while working on the Princeton, NJ-based McCarter Theatre's spring production of Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard. The creation of the fleeting world of the play was very much the end of an imaginative process on Lobel's part. After talking to director (and adapter) Emily Mann and reading a translation of the play (not Mann's), Lobel did what she terms "mood paintings" that were based on each act--and not on ...

My virtual library focuses on books and my favorite books are fantasy books. You might see some Christian fiction, nonfiction, or some other genre as well. I do not limit my reading to adult books. I may occasionally talk about literacy, library concerns, or poetry.

Sunrise over Fallujah
Sunrise over Fallujah
Walter Dean Myers
read by J D Jackson
young adult audiobook
Robin enlists in the Army during Operation Iraqi Freedom. His unit is to serve as liaison between civilians and military. What kind of impossible task is that? Myers brings his brilliant style to this book.
Christmas Blizzard
Christmas Blizzard
Garrison Keillor
adult novella
James and his wife live a comfortable life in their Chicago penthouse. James has no intention of ever re-connecting with his family and old friends back in North Dakota. He would rather spend his time in warm, snowless Hawaii.
He is told that his uncle back in ND is dying and that he should visit before it is too late. Grumpy to be reminded of the past, he begrudgingly tells his pilot to prepare his private jet for a flight to the frozen north.
Will James, like Scrooge, and the Grinch before him, find some joy this Christmas or can that only be had in Hawaii?
This tale rambles and roams with some bizarre characters and odd situations. Once the reader realizes that James, like Scrooge, is being confronted by his version of Marley, et al, then the story makes more sense.
This is recommended for someone who wants a quick holiday read, but is no great classic.

Would You Dare to Wear Some of These Looks From London Fashion Week?
If you can believe it, London Fashion Week is almost coming to a close, and we're breaking down some of the best looks from the catwalks in the UK. While there were plenty of understated looks — Erdem, Christopher Kane, and Matthew Williamson got on board — there were plenty of out-there beauty looks, including gothic face paint, antennae buns, and 3D nail art. Plus, Cara Delevingne made her return to the runway in London, showing off the wet-shine look at Mulberry and dusty rose shadow at Burberry.

Intel has pushed its G35 integrated chipset core all the way to December, if not even later. Intel originally wanted to release this new integrated DirectX10 chipset in early Q4 2007, but obviously, it skipped its original schedule.
We suspect that G45 will get more attention, as G35 is just slightly faster than G33 and many vendors think that it comes a little bit too late. Obviously, G45 graphics got more engineering priority, as this is Intel's bit IGP thing for middle 2008.
Asus is working off their board and it is already listed at few places, but we heard that no one should have any G35-based integrated boards until late 2007. Late December or early 2008 is the new launch date now.
AMD and Nvidia still don't have a DirectX 10 integrated graphics core. This is scheduled for 2008, so Intel is not that much later.

Intel G35 comes in December 2007
