Hard rockers Cinderella ruled the '80s, churning out catchy, hair metal nuggets such as "Nobody's Fool," "Don't Know What You've Got (Till It's Gone)" and "Gypsy Road." While the group's popularity waned with the grunge explosion in the '90s, Cinderella were one of the few hair metal bands able to consistently churn out new music and maintain their fan base.
Much of that loyalty, no doubt, is owed to founding member and singer, songwriter and guitarist Tom Keifer, whose music has always stood out, thanks to his appreciation for American roots music, blues and gospel. Now, Keifer is ready to unleash his debut solo album, The Way Life Goes, out this spring, and hit the road on a solo tour.
Gibson.com caught up with Keifer to chat about his solo album, using the guitar as a songwriting tool and his love for his '59 Sunburst. For more on Keifer and to check out 2013 tour dates, head to his official website.
What made you gravitate towards the guitar?
Well, I remembered when I was a kid, probably my first rock experience was seeing the Beatles on TV, and I liked the sound of the guitar. I started taking guitar lessons when I was 8 years old. That was the first thing that really got me into it: the Beatles. Around the same time, there was that show The Monkees on TV that I was real into, as well. I would say The Beatles and then The Monkees got me wanting sing too.
How do you use the guitar as a songwriting tool?
I would say it's my main songwriting tool. I don't usually write on an instrument first. I get a lyrical idea and melody in my head first, and that can happen anywhere. It happens at the most unexpected times, and then I find myself racing to find a guitar and figure out what it was I was hearing in my head. I use the guitar to put the lyrics to the melody that I hear in my head.
Your new album, The Way Life Goes, is out this spring. You have a 14-date tour planned in support of the album, routing through small, intimate spaces. I saw you perform with Cinderella last summer at a large pavilion. What's it like to go between playing small spaces to big venues?
It's all cool. I like all kinds of venues. There are pluses to the big places and pluses to the smaller places, too. I like that really-up-close-and-personal thing you get in the smaller rooms, and I thought it would be appropriate getting started with a solo record. This is a preview of the songs off the record, before it's happening before the release, and I'm going to do some Cinderella stuff, too. It felt like a good place to start and get close to the fans.
There was a time you thought you would never sing again. Take us through that period.
It's an ongoing process. It's a battle I fight each day. The underlying cause of it is something that's not curable. I have a left vocal cord that's partially paralyzed. I first noticed it in 1991. In the beginning, nobody knew what it was. That freaked me out. When my voice freaked out, I thought it was just nodes or something that could be fixed surgically. First doctors said nothing, physical, was wrong on my cords. It was scary. Eventually, after going to a million doctors, I had a neurological test, and they discovered partial paralysis on the left side. When I was given that diagnosis, I was told this was a pretty serious condition. They said that usually people who are professional singers don't sing again. I struggled with it for years and worked with speech pathologist and vocal coaches for years. The more I learn and the more I work with coaches, the stronger it's getting, but it's definitely not a picnic if you're a professional singer! [Laughs] I do an hour and a half to two hours of therapy each day. I do it because singing is what I love to do, and I don't want to give up on that.
Let's switch gear to guitar talk. What are your go-to Gibson guitars?
The main one would be my '59 Sunburst. I've had it for years, and I've used in the studio and on the road for years. They've gone up so much in value, it's hard to justify taking them on the road anymore, because I sweat a lot during shows and I've been worried about that getting into the electronics. So, I eventually retired that one and use it in the studio, and it's all over this new record.
Live, I have an early reissue of the '59 Sunburst, the same color as mine, and it's a great guitar and workhorse. I have a '50s Southern Jumbo that has an amazing sound on acoustic, and I use it all the time in the studio. That's my main one for the studio. I have a really cool Gibson Lap Steel from the '20s that I always use on tour and on my records. And I still play my first guitar! I still use a '78 Custom Les Paul my mom gave me back in the day. But my Sunburst is my favorite.
What makes Gibsons special?
They have a unique quality about them. The Sunburst and Les Paul are such unique guitars. I don't think there are any guitars like them. I remember when Cinderella first came out in the '80s, we had tons of guitar companies approaching us, and their line was always, "We can build you whatever you want." I remember one time being in a dressing room and getting a hard sell, and I finally turned to him and said, "Can you make me a Les Paul?" That sums up my feeling about Gibsons and Les Pauls! I've always played them. My first video, I was playing a Les Paul, back in '86. I love Gibsons and Les Pauls. I don't think you can go wrong with them, because they're classics.
What tips do you have for getting good guitar tone?
You start with the right guitar, which is a Les Paul! [Laughs] I think from there, tone comes from your fingers. You have to be playing the right guitar and know how to approach the strings to get a good tone… To me, pedals are more about enhancing the sound. If you want something special or different, I like to always get a good, basic sound from the guitar and the amp first.

The U.S. economic recovery is only tepid and faces two major risks — the "fiscal cliff" and what's going on in the euro zone, International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde told CNBC.
The fiscal cliff is when tax increases and spending cuts are slated to go into effect at the start of 2013.
Lagarde said that if the risks of the debt ceiling and the fiscal cliff were to hit, the U.S. economy could contract.
The IMFsees the U.S. economy growing about 2 percent in 2012 and 2.3 percent in 2013. "But if the risks materialized, it would reduce that growth to almost nothing," Lagarde said.
While policy makers may not take up the fiscal cliff until after the election, it would be far better to address the fiscal cliff sooner rather than later, Lagarde said.
"If there was an agreement earlier on, it would be a serious confidence booster for the U.S. economy," she said.
A deterioration in the euro zone is the other major risk to U.S. growth, Lagarde said. But the fact that the European Stability Mechanism, the bailout fund for the euro zone, can invest in the capital of the Spanish banks has helped Spain enormously, Lagarde said.
The IMF has long advocated allowing the ESM to invest in banks directly since it avoids going through the sovereign and doesn't affect a country's debt ceiling, Lagarde said. Moreover, if you invest in the capital of banks, you restructure them and you help in providing credit to the economy.
This plan for the ESM hinges on having a common European banking regulator with a clear role for the European Central Bank. "It's terrific," Lagarde said. "From a strict monetary union, the euro zone is also moving into a banking union with one single supervisor who will have the authority to check what the national supervisors are continuing to do on a day-to-day basis."
A banking union isn't enough though. Lagarde sees fiscal union as the next step. According to Lagarde, it would give rise to common fiscal policy, agreed upon objectives and even a common euro-zone debt agency and finance minister. "It's not going to happen overnight," Lagarde said.
The ECB also can play a greater role. While the IMF sees room for lower European rates, Lagarde said it may be better for the ECB to use its asset program which can be used in a more "judicious way."

Tips and Tricks for Working with Lace
by Sandi Rosner
Spring is the time when we turn to light and airy knitting. The delicate openwork of lace is what many of us crave with the return of warm weather and as a result many of the designs in this issue feature lace as an all-over pattern or focal point.
But knitting lace can be tricky. Most patterns rely on charts. Troubleshooting mistakes can be a challenge. And ripping back hours of work to fix a problem can send the most intrepid knitter screaming from the room.
In this issue, we'll share some simple techniques that will keep you happily knitting lace all summer long.
Chart Your Progress
Most lace patterns are presented as charts. This is particularly helpful when knitting lace, because the chart provides visual representation of the knitting, allowing you to easily see how the stitch you are working relates to the stitches in the rows below, as well as how it fits into the overall pattern.
If you are new to charts, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Study the chart's key before beginning to knit. This handy little graphic defines each symbol used in the chart, explaining which stitch it represents. Most charts use standard symbols with which you'll quickly become familiar. Be sure you understand any symbols that are new to you.
- Charts are drawn as if the right side of the knitting is facing you. The symbols on each row show you how the row will look after it is complete.
- In most charts, each square represents one stitch in one row. Some charts show right-side rows only. In these cases, there will be a note telling you how to work the wrong-side rows— usually purling all the stitches or knitting the knits and purling the purls as they appear.
- Row numbers will appear at the side of the chart where the row begins. When working in the round, all rows will be numbered on the right-hand side of the chart, since all rows are worked from right to left. When working back and forth in rows, the odd-numbered rows are usually (but not always) right-side rows and appear on the right-hand side of the chart. The even-numbered rows are usually (but not always) wrong-side rows and appear on the left-hand side of the chart. If the odd row numbers are on the left-hand side, they are wrong-side rows.
- Pay attention to notations at the margins of the charts. You'll often find important information about how many times a pattern is to be repeated.
- Find a method you like for keeping track of which row you are knitting. I use a sticky note placed just above the current row, so I can see the rows I've already finished, but not the rows yet to come. Metal clipboards with magnetic strips and highlighter tape are other good options.
Stitch Markers Are Your Friends
Stitch markers are very helpful for keeping your lace design on track. The pattern may call for markers to divide a garment into sections, or to mark shaping points. You can choose to add markers between each repeat of your lace pattern. If you find that your stitch count is off at the end of a row, markers can help you isolate the area where you went astray.
If you are using more markers than called for in the pattern, try using different colored markers for different purposes to avoid confusion.
I'd Like To Use A Lifeline
Many knitters have preserved their sanity with the judicious use of lifelines. In knitting, a lifeline is a strand of waste yarn run through the stitches at a point when you know your knitting is error free. If you make a mistake and need to rip back, the knitting will not unravel past the lifeline. You'll be able to follow the lifeline as you re-insert your needle, and begin knitting again knowing you're back on track.
Use a smooth yarn for your lifeline, thinner than your working yarn and in a contrasting color. Don't use anything fuzzy or bumpy— you want to be able to pull it out easily without leaving fibers behind. Fine crochet cotton works well. Some knitters use dental floss; it is inexpensive and easy to carry in your knitting tool kit. Just avoid the waxed or minty varieties—you don't want to leave residue in your knitting.
To create a lifeline, cut a strand of waste yarn a yard or so longer than the knitting is wide. Thread it on a tapestry needle, and then use the tapestry needle to feed the lifeline through the stitches alongside your knitting needle. This is most easily done with circular needles, where you can push the knitting off the tips and onto the thinner needle cable. Be careful to go around, not through, any stitch markers; you don't want your markers caught on the lifeline.
Some brands of interchangeable circular needles have a small hole in the connector fitting which is intended for tightening the join. If you are using this style of needle, you can skip the tapestry needle. Just thread your waste yarn through the little hole. As you knit the row, the lifeline will be carried through the row along with your needle. One brand has recently introduced the "lifeline cord." The cables of these circular needles have a little slit near the end into which you can insert your lifeline. The lifeline is then carried through your stitches as you knit the row. But you'll have to remove any stitch markers or they'll be caught in the cord. Just place them again, in the following row.
When you've fed the lifeline through a row of stitches, simply leave the ends hanging on each side and move on to the next row. Don't worry about whether or not you are knitting into the lifeline as you make your new stitches. As long as it is a contrasting color, it won't confuse your stitch counts.
If you need to rip back your knitting, just remove the needle and start unraveling. You won't be able to unravel past the lifeline.
Follow the path of the lifeline as you insert your needle through the stitches. You'll be good to go in no time.
Many knitters insert a lifeline after each correct pattern repeat. If you are really struggling with a pattern, there is no law against putting in a lifeline after every row.
Despite your best efforts, the time will come when you make a mistake. You'll notice that the pattern looks wonky, or your stitch count will be off.
Here's how to get back on track:
First, count the stitches in each pattern repeat and compare it to the chart to find out where along the row the mistake was made. Here is where those markers between each pattern repeat will come in handy.
Once you've identified the section (or sections) where the numbers don't match up, examine the knitting closely. Compare each stitch to the chart until you find the problem.
Many times, there is no need to rip out your work. If you have a yarn over as the first or last stitch of your pattern repeat, it may simply be that your stitch marker has migrated under the yarn over, giving one too many stitches in one repeat and one too few in the next. Simply push the marker back where it belongs. Using larger stitch markers can minimize this issue. I like to use markers embellished with small beads—they're pretty and they stay where I put them.
Perhaps you have missed putting in a yarn over. In the following row, just knit to the spot where the yarn over should be and use your left-hand needle to pick up the strand running between the stitches Voila! Yarn over made. As long as you don't try this more than once or twice in a row, no one will be the wiser.
Did an extra yarn over sneak in where it doesn't belong? In the next row, just drop that yarn over off the needle and continue with the rest of the row. Again, as long as you don't do it more than once or twice in a row, any little bit of looseness from that dropped yarn over will work its way into the surrounding stitches.
If your mistake is more significant and you do need to rip back your work, take a moment first to congratulate yourself on having a lifeline in place. Then pull out the needle and start unraveling. We've all been there.

Rocky Horror Picture Show, The/Shock Treatment (UK - DVD R2)
Paul Greenwood takes a jump to the left with his review of the camp cult-classics
There's a cracking documentary called Midnight Movies: From the Margin to the Mainstream which chronicles the rise of the, erm, midnight movie, through the early and mid '70s. Stuff that was the very definition of cult— Eraserhead, Pink Flamingoes, that kind of thing—would pack out fleapit cinemas every Saturday night for months on end, turning underground films into box office sensations. One of the films featured is The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which was considered a flop on its initial release, but word of mouth and repeat business turned into one of the biggest hits of the decade.
Adapted by Richard O'Brien from his own stage musical, it's styled very much like a '50s B-movie, complete with acting, direction, dialogue and visible microphones that wouldn't be out of place on Mystery Science Theater. Brad and Janet (Bostwick and Sarandon) are the all-American couple, out driving during a terrible thunderstorm on their way to visit an old professor friend. Naturally their car breaks down and they head for a nearby castle in search of a phone. There they encounter a collection of singing weirdoes, led by Frank N Furter (Curry), a mad scientist resplendent in basque and fishnet stockings. He's been working on bringing his pet creation, the Adonis like Rocky, to life and sets about trying to seduce our heroes. But all is not as it seems.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show really is pretty plotless, and its reason for existing is little more than an excuse for one musical set piece after another. But therein lies the hook—the songs are (nearly all) among the most insanely catchy you're likely to hear in a movie....sub Lloyd Webber '70s kitsch they may be, but I've been singing (if not actually doing) the bloody Time Warp all week.
The second factor behind the success and longevity of Rocky (and it may almost be as important as the first) is Tim Curry in an astonishing performance as the sweet transvestite from Transsexual, Transylvania. Think 'Stupid Sexy Flanders' multiplied by Freddie Mercury to get an idea of how charismatic, sexualised and downright appealing he is as he lusts after Brad, Janet and Rocky with equal ardour.
Elsewhere, there's not that much to get excited about. The best songs (Time Warp, Sweet Transvestite) come early but the rest—and there are many of them—are still good fun if not quite as memorable. O'Brien himself camps it up as Riff Raff the butler and Meatloaf pops up briefly as one of Frank's creations—if you've ever ached to see him share the screen with Christopher Biggins, this is the film for you.
Shock Treatment is the little-seen sequel of sorts that followed in 1981. Brad and Janet return but are now played by Cliff De Young and Jessica Harper. Back in their wholesome town of Denton, they take part in a TV show called 'The Marriage Maze' which ends with Brad in a straitjacket receiving the shock treatment of the title while the show's sponsor, Farley Flavors (also De Young), tries to steal Janet by making her into a star.
The quality of the songs is highly variable—some are fine, peppy and fun, but some are just terrible and there certainly aren't any that come close to the best of the first film. Some of the cast return (O'Brien and Quinn as doctors on a soap opera) but a lead with the presence of Curry is sorely missed. The film as a whole is horribly flat and just trying too hard to be bizarre without ever managing to achieve the perverse attraction of Rocky.
The standard of the picture is really pretty good for the most part, with excellent clarity depth if not sharpness. Colours are rich and skin tones are realistic, especially given the wild variations that can occur in lighting. Even in scenes where there are lots of very bright flashing lights, the transfer copes well with no flaring or smearing. The print does suffer from very occasional speckles, but otherwise there's no major damage or blemishes.
Audio comes in the shape of a patchy but reasonably effective 5.1 track. Dialogue can be tinny and lacking in strength and clarity, but songs are more forceful even if there isn't much help from the rears. Effects like thunder and lightning are bold and well supported by the LFE channel while the reanimation of Rocky finally gives the rears something to do.
All the extras on the first disc represent different ways of watching the film. First up is a commentary featuring O'Brien and Patricia Quinn who played Magenta. They seem to be talking to each other rather than us and spend a lot of time describing what's happening on screen and going off on tangents. There are some decent recollections but a lot of silences making this far from an essential listen.
'Multi View Theater Experience' leaves the film at various points and cuts to an audience who are acting out scenes from the film. 'Participation Prompter' is a subtitle track that tells you when to perform various actions throughout the film. Finally, there's 'Audience Participation', which essentially renders the film unwatchable, as all you'll be able to hear is an incoherent rabble drowning out the dialogue and songs.
Disc two kicks off with a thorough but not very exciting doc called 'Rocky Horror Double Feature Video Show', running for thirty seven minutes. It begins with its origins as a stage show before moving on to the low budget movie adaptation where some of the original cast were kept. There are fairly recent interviews with the rather dry producers but the stuff from Curry, Sarandon and Meatloaf looks like it was filmed in the '80 judging by the hairdos. They discuss how the film was a flop but took off at midnight shows.
Excerpts from VH-1 'Behind the Music' and 'Where Are They Now' is the other featurette and runs for a total of forty five minutes. It's broken up into several chunks featuring recent interviews with the likes of O'Brien and Meatloaf who offer interesting recollections of the stage show and the making of the film. Bostwick and Sarandon also appear, the former discussing how the resurrection of the film took him by surprise and how it was very much a product of its time, while Sarandon focuses more on her singing involvement.
'Outtakes' isn't so much outtakes as alternate takes of certain scenes—there are two alternate camera angle views of the Time Warp, five of Brad & Janet Undressed, two of Janet's Seduction and two of the Floor Show Preparations. There's a deleted song: Once in a While. 'Sing-A-Long' is basically a karaoke function for two of the songs—Toucha Toucha Touch Me and Sweet Transvestite. 'Alternate Credit Ending' is the same ending but with, erm, alternate credits.
'The Misprint Ending' shows how some prints of the film originally had the pictures from one song while a different song played on the soundtrack. Things are rounded off by the theatrical trailer and a photo gallery. Shock Treatment contains no extras.
It would appear that the extras on Rocky are exactly the same as those that appeared on the Anniversary Edition a few years back, so if you've got that then the only reason to pick this up would be for the rarity that is Shock Treatment—shame it's mince.
Rocky on the other hand is the sort of movie that has become a religion to some, while others will loathe it to their very core. If you haven't seen it, you owe it to yourself to check it out one time. It's just a jump to the left......

WHAT?!?! Ummm...no. If you think RHPS was utter c**p, then you obviously have no taste. You don't belong on this part of the site if that's your view point. Learn how to appreciate good movies or shut your face, ok?
Shock treatment was good, but I thought RHPS was utter c**p.
I also loved Shock Treatment. In these days of celebrity worship, it's more relevant than ever. Yes, I'm looking at you Chantelle.

I agree. Shock Treatment is an absolutely wonderful movie with some really great songs. I heard that this is coming out on DVD and I will buy it as soon as it hits the store. The opening song is so catchy. I'm singing it in my head now and I'm LOVING it.
I give Shock Treatment the benifit of the doubt because I'm an Argento nut and it stars Suspiria's Jessica Harper. I don;t think I've seen it in a decade. Rocky Horror has been ruined for me by the fans. I hate it.
I didn't like Shock Treatment when I saw it on TV years ago, but I love Rocky Horror. Dunno why, but it just appeals to my sense of the absurd, and the songs are extremely catchy. Tim Curry is also excellent as Frank.
That said, I'm not an obsessive fan. The fan track on this DVD is terrible. They all sound like the most annoying people to be trapped in a room with.

klia2 MAINTENANCE PROGRESS SERIES 16
15 January 2017
In this latest report series, we are pleased to share that we had completed a total of one location at the parking apron. This has accumulated to a total of 65 locations altogether.
In Phase 2, we will extend the grouting injection method to 40 locations, inclusive of several newly identified areas and a fewareas that had been maintained in 2015. Phase 2 is determined to further improve the occurrence of pavement depressions.
Grouting injection works for Phase 2 started in September 2016 and currently at 48% completion. Grouting injection remains the method of choice as it provides less disruption to the terminal operations.
It is our hope that by sharing this information, the public will have greater understanding of the actual situation and not be influenced by speculation. The infographic reports are available at www.malaysiaairports.com.my and our official social media platform – Malaysia Airports (Facebook), @MY_Airports (Twitter) and Malaysia Airports (Instagram).
Malaysia Airports continues to collaborate closely with all our stakeholders to ensure that all parties such as airlines and DCA constantly engaged on operational issues.We remain committed to ensure the safety of airport operations at all our airports.

Now there HAS to be an equalizer to get them in the mix next leg - I can see them sneaking past the competition if a U-Turn is in play..hehe
I would love to see them actually COMPETE with everyone soon.
It's really a pity that they're in the back all because of doing bad on the first leg. I think they are very competitive and let's just hope they get bunched or something and then show what they're made of by winning some legs or at least leading the pack I really liked them the first time around and now they're even better, go team JJ!

Yes I've had those... I'm in two great Horde and Alliance guilds we do try to take our breaks at the same time which is very helpful.
I run a lot of things with my guilds but I still enjoy running PUGs too. For the most part the PUGs are great and I've met some nice buddies but the fail PUGs stand out. :)
As I was leveling on my Blood Elf Holy Priest; healing every chance I got, I ran a lot of PUGs; healing and learning how to be an effective healer. Anyway, I received an invite for Maurodan, I accepted. Our tank was a guy named Crazypally or something like that... We were doing great until 'Crazy' decided to go AFk mid-pull! He didn't tell anyone. This happened a few more times before he got kicked from the group. We cleared the instance and although I remembered his antics I could not remember his name. I hit Outland and one of my buddies asked me if I could heal Ramps? Sure was my response... and yes he was in the group, the first time he went AFK I remembered who he was, whispered my buddy so he knew what was up, he did it again and he got the boot. I thought his name sounded familiar and I didn't think our interaction had been good when he did his afk think well I remembered him. You know he would still ask me to group with him.

Birthday Music #6: Dawn
Name: Dawn
Girls Rock Camp Donation Tally: $35
Relationship: Dawn and I attended Hampshire College together and reconnected recently via Facebook. ("I do enjoy our interweb friendship," said Dawn in her note. Me too, Dawn.)
How Did We Meet: If I recall correctly, Dawn was the TA in the first video production course I took; the great Joan Braderman was the professor.
Something about Dawn: I don't know if it's still the case, but back in the day Hampshire was famous for its annual campus-wide Halloween party. Some of it was myth, but essentially, every year on the night of the party, the campus was shut down to outsiders and students from the other four colleges in the area (Amherst, Smith, Mount Holyoke and UMASS) clamored to get on. One of the supposed reasons for the lockdown was the acknowledgement that a fair amount of drugs were to be taken that evening. So…in my first year, I decided to partake and took acid with a few friends (let's just acknowledge here that I will never be elected President) only to remember when I was in the full throes of it that I have a pretty intense phobia of people dressed up in costume. Not good. So, one of my most intense memories of Dawn was her standing in front of me — dressed in a furry costume, if I recall — chatting away and me being absolutely scared shitless. I don't think I've ever told Dawn that story…
Dawn's Playlist: Dawn sent me a playlist that she herself listens to on a regular basis. (I love that.) "What it may lack in hipness, it makes up for in sentiment." It's a Joni Mitchell to Joan Jett, with a few steps in between.
Delivery: Dawn mailed her CD to Oliver's Twist. It came with a handmade (by Dawn?) card featuring a lightning bolt striking a heart.
Favorite (Nostalgic) Tracks: Tough, because the CD is pretty nostalgic overall. But I'll go with "Crimson and Clover," Joan Jett and the Blackhearts; "Pretty in Pink," Psychedelic Furs and "Across the Universe," Rufus Wainright.
Favorite (New to Me) Tracks: "Sister," Sufjan Stevens
As a reminder, here's the address so you can send me music too:
Alison's Birthday Music
c/o Oliver's Twist
6822 Greenwood Avenue
Seattle WA 98103
Remember, for every playlist I receive by the end of the month, I am making a $5 donation to Girls Rock Camp.
More Birthday Music posts to come…

!! for details on the problem.
I've installed libperl5.8 and libxml-perl, but nothing changes.
What can I do?
You probably compiling with debug fully enabled. Remove -Werror from the CFLAGS.
Thank you. How can I do that? I have used linux for a year but I never had a problem like this. :-|
Than you very much for your help
Set compile flags before running the installer. Replace i686 with your cpu type, checkout gcc manual. Also make sure 'Extensive Optimizations' is enabled in the installer.
#export CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O2 -pipe"
This way the installer won't use some debugging flags AFAIK.
Thank's. It went all well exept a problem with ALSA that I resolved looking at a topic in this forum.
Now I'll configure gdm.
Thank you

SILC Showcase
Showcase November 2009: Structural alignment can facilitate rapid learning of spatial concepts in informal settings

Structural alignment can facilitate rapid learning of spatial concepts in informal settings
Dedre Gentner (Co-PI), Susan C. Levine (Co-PI)
Northwestern University/Chicago Children's Museum
For the archival version of this research, and the preferred citation, see:
- Gentner, D., Levine, S. C., Ping, R., Isaia, A., Dhillon, S., Bradley, C. & Honke, G. (2016), Rapid Learning in a Children's Museum via Analogical Comparison. Cognitive Science, 40(1), 224–240. [DOI]
How can we help children learn spatial concepts? Previous research has shown structural alignment is a powerful tool in helping both children and adults learn novel spatial relations (Christie & Gentner, in press; Gentner & Namy, 1999; Kotovsky & Gentner, 1996). Our goal in this project was to test whether these ideas could be applied to support children's learning of mechanical principles. To do this, SILC partnered with the Chicago Children's Museum to investigate whether structural alignment can facilitate the acquisition of stable construction principles: specifically, diagonal bracing (a subcase of the general principle that triangles confer stability in construction). This study also drew on our prior findings that alignable differences—differences that relate to the common structure between a pair—are particularly salient (Gentner & Sagi, 2006; Markman & Gentner, 1993). In this study, children were presented with pairs of model buildings; one building was made with diagonal braces which gave the structure stability and the other had horizontal crosspieces which provided no structural support. There were two training groups: high-alignability [HA] and low-alignability [LA], which differed according to whether their pairs were highly similar and thus easily aligned, or were superficially different, and thus more difficult to align (See Figures 1a. and 1b.) A third group received no training [NT]. During the training, children were shown that the building with the diagonal brace was more stable (harder to wiggle) than the other building.
The predictions were (1) that the two training groups would show better understanding than the no-training group; and (2) that the children in the high alignability group would learn best, because for them the diagonal brace should emerge as an alignable difference, thus helping them focus on how a diagonal brace helps make building stable.
Following training, children and their families built their own skyscraper. Upon completion, children were asked to complete a Brace Placement task to assess their understanding of diagonal bracing. In the Brace Placement task children were presented with an unstable building frame (approximately 1 foot tall) and were asked to help make it more stable by adding a piece to it. We coded the orientation of the child's added piece (with respect to the building's frame) as either diagonal, horizontal or vertical. The results of the Brace Placement task, shown in Figure 2, bear out the predictions. Children who received training generated more diagonal braces than those who did not; and children in the high- alignability condition generated more diagonal braces than those in the low- alignability condition. These findings indicate that the analogical principle of high alignment, shown to be effective in laboratory studies, can be impactful in noisy, real world learning environments.

Tommaso & Lorenzo's Bright Bedroom
Name: Tommaso & Lorenzo
Age: 4 & 5
Location: Milano, Italy
Color Inspiration: Well, we live in a very, very grey city, so we have a lot of color in our house to compensate for that. For the new boys' room wanted a color that was bright and fun, but not too traditional...
Thumbs Up Voting is only activated for 48 Hours — so don't delay!
Inspiration Continued: Besides, the huge armoire that we inherited with the house was already green and a pain to re-paint... so we kind of went with that. Instead of downplaying the green, we choose a bolder shade, but painted only the two opposite walls of the room, so it wouldn't clash or be too overbearing.
The rest of the furniture was then chosen in white/light wood to balance the color scheme. The bedding and pillows introduce more green shades, while he orange rug and boxes details bring some warmth to and otherwise cooler palette.?
Curtains for the beds, and the dark, detailed fabric attached to the underside of the top bed, besides adding some visual interest, make the sleeping area darker and cozy.
Tip For Using Color: Choose one bold color that you and your child like and go for it! Remember though: the bolder the color the stronger the impression, so it could be a wise idea to limit the space the color is given.
Also, neutrals like white and wood will help to balance a strong color.
Colors Used: We had the color mixed at the local color store, so I don't know. But we're in Italy and the brands would anyway be different, so I guess this doesn't matter much.. :)

If you are playing a B/X style game and embrace race-as-class then this product will be of use to you, and serves as a first release of what I hope will be a number of follow ups.
In brief, this book gives you four new Halfling racial classes so that not every PC Halfling will be forced to play the same exact class. The new racial classes fill in social and adventuring roles, giving halflings access to clerical and arcane magic, as well as some effective guerrilla fighters.
There are a few typo errors in this product, the layout is work-man-like, and the art is primitive and a bit cartoony, but honestly I like it just fine.
I think this is a really good value for the price, and would rate it a bit higher (4.25 or 4.5) if I could.
I hope Occult Moon follows up with additional Demi-options for the other races.

Wednesday was Count Day for school districts throughout Michigan. Count Day is a day that helps to determine state funding based on student enrollment and absences.
Wednesday was Count Day for school districts throughout Michigan. Count Day is a day that helps to determine state funding based on student enrollment and absences.
However, if students are unable to attend school on Count Day, the district will not lose money from their absence if they are present in the days after.
Lakewood Public Schools Superintendent Michael O'Mara said that there were no special events or programs offered for students in the past few years to incentivize Count Day attendance. Rather, Lakewood students came to school because of the "great educational experience" the district provides.
"Just because they're absent today doesn't mean that the schools can't count them later on when they are in school," O'Mara said.
According to O'Mara, the attendance for Count Day throughout the district was normal with regular daily attendance. In addition, the preliminary numbers for Lakewood Public Schools Count Day attendance was down 10 students from last year.
"That is just the preliminary number, usually that will deviate one or two," O'Mara said.
George Heckman, principal for Pewamo-Westphalia Elementary School said that the school was not offering anything special for Count Day.
"We aren't really offering anything, we just expect them to come. Our daily attendance is well over 90 percent, so we feel pretty blessed that students and families value education," said Heckman.
In preparation for Count Day, the school sent two letters home to families to remind them of the day and to tell them not to schedule appointments during that day.
"We've had a great turnout," Heckman said.
Pewamo-Westphalia Junior and Senior High Principal and Athletic Director Todd Simmons remarked that there were no incentives or special programs offered in response to fall Count Day.
"We have had some communication with parents to let them know what's going on and they're on board and we're moving full steam ahead. I'm proud of both students and educators and how well they're doing this school year," Simmons said.
Portland Public Schools Superintendent Charles Dumas said that there were no special events planned for Count Day.
"Well, we did schedule picture day at Oakwood Elementary for today. Everyone wants to come that day," Dumas said.
According to Dumas, the incentive for having students present for Count Day is to reduce paperwork and tracking of absent students in the days after the count takes place.
"We won't lose money if they don't come today, they just have to come in the next few days," said Dumas.
This year, student absences could cost Ionia County school districts upward of $7,000 per missing pupil. That is, if they miss Count Day and the 10 days following Count Day.
Michigan districts and charter schools have 10 days to report their enrollment numbers to the Michigan Department of Education following Wednesday's Count Day.

I cut and pasted this from MSWord, so ya know, if all those little annoying characters pop up...well...uh...He messed with the internal workings of my machine with his Noodly Appendages.
This is something I send to school board members who are in favor of exposing children to other theories.
So...do we like? Do we dislike? What can I do to make better? Ya know...that horrible term of "constructive criticism."
As the subject line states, I'm with you...I like the idea of introducing more topics and/or topics with a different point of view to help 'balance' things out. To the best of my knowledge, nobody has a 'lock' on the correct idea. No one has a 'lock' on the correct theory. (At least to the best of my knowledge...)
Apart from teaching Intelligent Design (ID) to help balance out Evolution, I would suggest that other alternate theories/ideas are also taught.
May I suggest a few...
-Gravity is at odds with the second law of thermodynamics. They work towards different goals. Gravity helps order things, while the second law of thermodynamics states that everything is working towards disorder. Imagine 10 bowling balls floating around in space. Eventually, gravity will bring the balls together. There is more order in this system. One clump of balls is a more ordered system than 10 balls spread out. Why would gravity make things clump together (a more ordered system) when the second law of thermodynamics states that the balls should not clump together and there should be disorder? The only conclusion is that one idea is wrong. I believe, among others, that gravity is wrong. We believe that an intelligent being is pushing or pulling things together. This is called "Intelligent Falling." "Things fall not because they are acted upon by some gravitational force, but because a higher intelligence, 'God' if you will, is pushing them down," said Gabriel Burdett, who holds degrees in education, applied Scripture, and physics from Oral Roberts University. Those of us who believe in Intelligent Falling advocate that Intelligent Falling should be taught in school along with the theory of gravity so that students can make "an informed decision."
-Another alternate theory: The moon is made of cheese.
I thank you for your time.

"Race Hustlers": Fox Demonizes Civil Rights Leaders Concerned By Zimmerman Acquittal
Research ››› ››› REMINGTON SHEPARD
Fox has blasted civil rights leaders and organizations as "race hustlers" for taking action in response to George Zimmerman being found not guilty of murder in the killing of 17-year-old African-American teenager Trayvon Martin.
Zimmerman Found Not Guilty Of Murder And Manslaughter
NY Times: "Zimmerman Is Acquitted In Trayvon Martin Killing." A July 13 New York Times article headlined "Zimmerman Is Acquitted In Trayvon Martin Killing," reported that George Zimmerman, a man who shot and killed unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin, "was found not guilty late Saturday night of second-degree murder. He was also acquitted of manslaughter, a lesser charge." [The New York Times, 7/13/13]
Civil Rights Activists Express Concern And Pledge Action In Response To Zimmerman Acquittal
Politico: Al Sharpton Plans A "Justice For Trayvon National Day Of Action." In the wake of the Zimmerman acquittal, civil rights leader and MSNBC host Al Sharpton is advocating for a "Justice For Trayvon National Day Of Action" to occur on July 20. According to Politico, Sharpton's:
National Action Network is organizing the protests at federal court buildings to press the Justice Department to bring a civil rights case against George Zimmerman, who was found not guilty in the death of teenager Trayvon Martin by a Florida jury on Saturday.
Sharpton said his National Action Network intends to keep the pressure on until a civil rights case is brought, insisting the protests will show the national anger over the verdict is not a "two- or three-day" thing. [Politico, 7/15/13]
Wash. Post: NAACP Circulates Petition Asking The Justice Department To Investigate Possible Civil Rights Violations In Martin's Killing. According to The Washington Post, the NAACP began circulating a petition requesting that the Department of Justice (DOJ) investigate any possible civil rights violations committed by Zimmerman in his killing of Martin:
The NAACP began circulating a petition late Saturday asking Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. to take action in the case as the group held its annual conference in Orlando.
"It is time for the Department of Justice to act," the petition says. "The most fundamental of civil rights -- the right to life -- was violated the night George Zimmerman stalked and then took the life of Trayvon Martin."
The Post reported that more than 1 million signatures had been collected by July 16. [The Washington Post, 7/14/13, 7/16/13]
Fox Smears Al Sharpton And NAACP As Race Hustlers And Racists
Bill O'Reilly: NAACP And Others Expressing Race Based Civil Rights Concerns Are Part Of "The Grievance Industry." In an appearance on Fox & Friends, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly accused the NAACP being a part of "the grievance industry" by highlighting a "minority controversy" like the killing of Trayvon Martin. [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 7/17/13]
Steve Doocy: "The Whole Element Of The Race Hustlers Is Out There As Well." On Fox & Friends, co-host Steve Doocy responded to a video of Fox guest Leo Terrell accusing people who questioned the Zimmerman acquittal of attempting to "hustle people" by claiming that "race hustlers" were "drumming up some tension across the country" and blaming them for examples of people allegedly assailing others in Trayvon Martin's name. [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 7/17/13]
Juan Williams: Al Sharpton And Other "Race Hustlers" Are Out There To Prop Up Their Ratings. On Lou Dobbs Tonight, Fox News contributor Juan Williams suggested that the NAACP's petitioning of the government as action by "race hustlers" and dismissed Sharpton's march as an attempt to improve his ratings:
WILLIAMS: To me there are so many of these race hustlers out there, you know, and so many bad leaders, you know, I think they lead people down the garden path. They ignore the constant carnage in the black community, you know, the constant shootings -- you referred to the number of children killed in Chicago during the course of this trial. I think that you look at someone like Sharpton, I think he's pumping those numbers for his ratings or whatever. Yes, there is legitimate concern about injustice. Why is it the case that there's a dead child and no acknowledgement of that in terms of jury's action. Fine, I agree. But there is a larger issue here. And when you see the hustlers out there and you have to stop and just -- as you say -- I think you used the word, just, you know, a burning scorn that you have Lou for this kind of behavior and I share it. [Fox Business, Lou Dobbs Tonight, 7/16/13]
Laura Ingraham: "The Justice Department Is Humoring The Race Hucksters" At The NAACP. During a Fox & Friends appearance, Fox News contributor Laura Ingraham suggested that the Justice Department is "humoring" "race hucksters" who are trying to "drum up their own relevance" and "elevate their own either political or economic positions." On-screen text during the segment said that the NAACP and Trayon Martin's family are urging the Justice Department to act. [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 7/16/13]
Eric Bolling: Race Baiters Like Al Sharpton Are Creating Outrage To Keep Their Jobs. During the July 15 edition of The Five, co-host Eric Bolling claimed that Al Sharpton and others were race baiting in order to keep their jobs and continue their relevance. A day later on The Five, Bolling blasted Sharpton as a racist. [Fox News, The Five, 7/15/13, 7/16/13]
Tucker Carlson: Civil Rights Leaders Like Al Sharpton And Jesse Jackson Are "Hustlers And Pimps Who Make A Living Off Inflaming Racial Tensions." The morning after Zimmerman's acquittal, Fox News host Tucker Carlson said "people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton do not deserve to be called civil rights leaders. They are not. They are hustlers and pimps who make a living off inflaming racial tensions." [Fox News, Fox & Friends Sunday, 7/14/13]

Our friends at LearnVest offer sound financial tips and advice for every aspect of life. Here's some budgeting tips for gardening at home this summer.
If you are fortunate enough to have outdoor space — be it a fire escape, patio or yard — then you know just how much of your disposable income can be spent beautifying it.
To say nothing of the decisions required: Plants! Planters! Grass or mulch? And will I kill all of those pretty flowers I just brought home? The options are expansive — and expensive.
But you can have a beautiful outdoor space on a budget. Lisa Cangialosi, owner of New York-based landscape design company When in Bloom Inc., offers up nine creative ways to stay within your means this summer, no matter how big a patch of earth you have to tend to.
Know thy space
Browsing the local nursery without a plan is like shopping on an empty stomach: It can result in major buyer's remorse — not to mention unhappy blooms.
First, ask yourself a few key questions: Do you have full sun or shade? A rooftop spot or ground-level garden?
"Determine your climate: Rooftops can be hot, ground-level gardens, humid," explained Cangialosi. If you've got shade, buying the pretty flowers that require full sun means they won't live to see July.
"Look at drainage," she added. Make sure liquid has a way to escape when watering plants or if it rains. "Plants don't like their roots wet — it's like sitting in a wet diaper," she says. Once you have a proper drainage system in place, then you can shop and plant. (For tips on how to do drainage right, see the next tip.)
Skip the pricey planters
If you're in the market for a container garden, the costs can add up quickly, with planters running into the hundreds of dollars. Luckily, there's a cheaper (and chic) option.
"You can definitely skimp and get the less-expensive pots. IKEA has great options — but you have to augment slightly," said Cangialosi.
This brings us back to drainage. Cangialosi suggests drilling holes in the bottom of pots that don't come with them, or placing a pot within a pot, with gravel between the two, so the water overage has a place to go.
Invest in perennials
Perennial plants come back each year, while annuals are yours to enjoy for just one season. That's why buying the latter is an amateur gardener mistake.
"Perennials are roughly the same price as annuals, but you'll have them year after year," explained Cangialosi.
In fact, she says, they can return for anywhere from six to 20 years, which is a far better return on your botanical investment.
Bonus: You'll save time and money.
"If you put enough plants in, they'll fill your space nicely, and you won't even have to weed as often," she said.

Visualization of and Educational Tool for Quantum Dots
Published on
Faculty Advisor(s): Ebert, Klimeck, Qiao
Quantum dots (QDs) are confined structures made of metals and semiconductors that are capable of containing free electrons.The ability to visualize these small devices is advantageous in determining probable electron orbitals and in observing information not easily conceived in raw datasets. Visual Molecular Dynamics (VMD) is employed to render visuals of the given datasets and to produce iso-surfaces that portray the wave function and various representations of QD structures. An iso-surface is a thin surface that is generated in accordance to its iso-value; whereas, an iso-value is a user-defined value of interest. Important objectives of this project are to load datasets with numerous amounts of atoms, to create and generate video clips, and to develop an online educational instrument that provides information in an uncomplicated manner. This online resource provides information on definitions, fabrication, applications, demonstrations, and methods describing the implementation of visualization.

(March 8, 2006) - The ETSU Bucs jumped out to an early lead and sophomore pitcher Joey McCown (Alcoa, Tenn.) threw five strong innings as the Baseball Bucs held off the Tennessee Tech rally for a 9-7 victory in non-conference action at Cardinal Park Wednesday night.
The Bucs jumped to a 3-0 first inning lead courtesy of a triple from Justin Aughey (
Senior first baseman Blake Church (
The Golden Eagles (5-8) finally got to McCown in the fifth, rattling the starter for three runs to cut the deficit in half at 6-3. Tennessee Tech opened the inning with three consecutive hits, a double from third baseman Stuart Meinhart and a pair of singles from pinch hitter Brantley Kilgore and center fielder Brian Sprowl to push their first run across. A balk and a groundout score the other two Golden Eagle runs in the frame.
Leading 6-5 in the seventh, reliever Trey Sheffield (
McCown improved to 3-0 on the season, scattering nine hits and striking out one in his five innings of work. Sophomore Jake New (0-1) gave up six runs in two innings, absorbing his first loss of the season.
Aughey delivered a two-RBI single in the bottom of the eighth to give the Bucs a four-run cushion and finish with five RBI on the day.
The Bucs next hit the road, opening conference play at Lipscomb this weekend. First pitch of game one is set for eastern time Friday evening.


text: Grains End Week on Rollercoaster Trade October 12, 2012 11:05 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Scott Harms, Archer Financial Services Email The grain markets had plenty of fresh news to digest late in the week after trading very narrowly for the first three days. The late-week rollercoaster began following the USDA's latest update of production a well as U.S. and global supply and demand updates. The release of the fresh data lead to sharp gains across the grain floor, with the corn market leading the way with near limit gains as prices traded to the highest levels in nearly four weeks. The sharp gains on Thursday could be more about what the trade did not see in the updated figures rather than what they did see. The nearly $3 collapse in the soybean market from the summer highs was largely based on better than expected yields across the belt as the combines began to roll. The fear of a nearly 300 million bushel gain in soybean production had that market on the defensive right up the 7:30 a.m. release of USDA's fresh data. The soybean market then rallied nearly $.30, not because the figures were "bullish", but rather that they had seemed to avoid the sharp increase in production that many had feared. The soybean market then reversed its strong trade on Friday with a $.26 loss. However, long term support in soybeans should come in the form of strong demand from China, which has lead to an explosive sales pace to date. The enthusiasm for soybeans to trade to the lofty summer projections of $18-$19 are now on hold. There is definitely a rationing job to be done in the soybean market. Good support should be found in nearby soybeans near $14.80 and rallies to $16-$17 are likely as that process plays out. It seems now that a disruption in the South American growing season will now have to occur to reach much beyond that. Back to news
