Last year, Miami Lakes Mayor Michael Pizzi grabbed a clear plastic baggie containing two cigars and an envelope stuffed with $2,000 that two FBI undercover agents had placed for him on a bar table in a local billiard hall.
But what happened after that was a subject of great dispute Wednesday during opening statements of the suspended mayor's bribery trial in Miami federal court.
Prosecutor Jared Dwyer told the 12-person jury that the mayor took the zip-lock baggie into the men's restroom and exited without it in his hands. "Mr. Pizzi got the $2,000 that night," he said, noting the alleged payoff was recorded at the Miami Lakes billiard hall.
The 51-year-old Pizzi, arrested last August in an FBI sting operation, is accused of accepting that bribe and three others in exchange for officially supporting bogus federal grant applications in Miami Lakes and Medley, where he also worked as the town attorney. His trial, before U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke, is expected to last one month.
For the first time, Pizzi's defense team revealed that the mayor did take the baggie off the table at the billiard hall, but said he gave away the cigars to another patron before going to the restroom — without realizing there was $2,000 cash inside the envelope.
"Mike Pizzi gave the bag away because he thought it was [holding] only two cigars," attorney Ed Shohat told the jurors. "He didn't end up with the $2,000, but somebody else ended up with the $2,000."
Shohat said the defense plans to call that person as a witness as part of an overall strategy to counter the prosecution's portrayal of Pizzi as a "corrupt" politician."
In opening statements, Dwyer argued that Pizzi pocketed bribes from a now-convicted Miami-Dade County lobbyist and the undercover agents posing as sleazy businessmen. By dangling bribes in front of him, they talked the mayor into supporting the federal grant proposals purportedly to spur job growth in his community and the neighboring town of Medley.
Dwyer said Pizzi intentionally grabbed the money and campaign checks to line his pockets — a total of $6,750 — knowing that Miami Lakes and Medley would not be benefiting from any federal grants for a jobs feasbility study.
"This case is about a powerful politician who sold his power, who sold his position," Dwyer told the jurors.
In Pizzi's defense, Shohat said the federal case was "horribly flawed" on several levels, including the sting operation's premise, the FBI's investigative techniques and the prosecution's get-rich allegation.
"He didn't sell his office," argued Shohat, who is handling the defense with three other lawyers, Ben Kuehne, Michael Davis and Ralf Rodriguez. "He didn't risk his entire career for $6,750."
The FBI undercover operation was launched in 2011 after public-corruption agents retained Miami-Dade lobbyist Michael Kesti as an informant. Kesti, who would be paid $114,000 in fees and expenses including a rented Lexus, told the FBI there were several corrupt lobbyists and politicians in the county.
Their first target was Miami-Dade lobbyist Richard Candia, who had Miami Lakes as a client and was close to Pizzi.
Kesti, along with two undercover agents, pitched Candia on the scheme of approaching various municipal mayors about applying for actual federal economic-development grants — with the goal of keeping the money for themselves. The two agents pretended to be sketchy businessmen from a Chicago grant-writing business called Sunshine Universal.
After Candia got on board, he recommended that Pizzi would be open to the scam. "He knew it was a corrupt deal," Dwyer told jurors. "He acted on a corrupt deal."
Dwyer outlined the four bribes that Pizzi allegedly accepted from 2011 to 2013:
• $750 in three campaign checks received from Kesti, for the Medley grant proposal.
• $1,000 paid by Candia at a Starbucks cafe in Miami Lakes, for the Medley deal. The cash was allegedly tucked inside a newspaper.
• $2,000 paid by the two FBI undercover agents at the billiard hall, for the Miami Lakes grant application.
• $3,000 paid by Candia in the storage closet of Pizzi's town attorney office in Medley, for the Miami Lakes deal.
Just before making the final payoff last July, Candia was confronted by FBI agents about the alleged scheme. He agreed to cooperate by wearing a wire for the last sting against the mayor.
Pizzi's attorney, Shohat, told jurors that the mayor never received the $1,000 from Candia or the $2,000 from the undercover agents.
Shohat acknowledged that Pizzi received the $750 in check donations for his 2012 reelection campaign for mayor, but said the contributions were legitimate. He also admitted that Pizzi received the $3,000, but said it was intended for one of the mayor's political action committees, for which he had already spent a lot of his own money.
Shohat said the FBI's recordings show that Pizzi told the agents repeatedly that he would not get involved in a "bogus" grant scheme that was a "money grab."
"I can't do that," Shohat quoted Pizzi as saying during the early stages of the sting operation.
Pizzi is the only defendant, among four politicians and lobbyists arrested last August in two separate FBI undercover operations, to go to trial.
Sweetwater Mayor Manuel "Manny" Maroño and lobbyist Jorge Forte pleaded guilty and are serving prison terms. Candia, the prosecution's cooperating witness in the Pizzi trial, also pleaded guilty and is awaiting sentencing.

Do you recognize themes in your work? I do, in mine, like this:
Dutch bicycles, a never ending source of inspiration.
Which one do you prefer?
The point is not that one is better than the other. The point is that cropping a picture, or getting closer/farther, materially changes the nature of that picture. Think carefully when you compose (or afterwards, when you crop) a photo.
And by the way. B&W (Black and White, or monochrome) is still with us, and I suspect, and hope, that it always will be.
Happy New Year from The Speedlighter!
As for your 2017 resolutions, how about this one: Make this the time you finally perfect those skills you always wanted to hone! Skills that allow you to quickly and easily do pictures like the ones I took over the last couple of weeks. These include a few animal (and animal-plus-owner) pictures:
All those were made with the 85mm f/1.2 lens, and used a single speedlight in an umbrella.
But I also did an executive portrait, just yesterday:
Do you see the difference between the two above? For the first one, I did not want to show the outside (boring, homes). Easy, so the picture,like almost all my pictufes, was stright out of the camera.
For the second one, however, I did want to show the blue sky. So I exposed that one less (using the magic Outdoors Recipe–one of the things you will learn if you turn up). Both used flash, of course; fired by Pocketwizards and with their power set manually. The second one used much more flash power because I was using low ISO and small aperture to kill the outside light. I also had to, therefore, brighten the Apple logo in post-production.
I would almost call that last one an environmental portrait.
The next ones are certainly environmental portraits:
The one above used a 24-70mm lens and a speedlight with a Honl Photo 1/8″ grid. The one below, a 16-35mm wide angle lens and a speedlight with an umbrella:
What do they all have in common? Simplicity, good exposure, and a thorough knowledge of the technical necessities.
You can learn this too. Why not do it? I have several great opportunities coming up!
All of these are excellent learning opportunities, and will broaden and deepen your knowledge significantly. Hope to see you there and then.
The difference between a snapshot and a good picture? Often enough it is simplicity. Simplicity does not necessarily mean taking things out of the picture. But it means taking things out of the picture that do not belong there.
Take this iPad snap, just now, of my new kitty Clio:
Not bad. But what if we took out that unnecessary space, and especially that little black thing on the right.
Then maybe add a frame. And now we get:
Can you see how much better that is than the original? Everything you remove that is not essential to the story makes the picture better. And you can remove it by cropping, blurring, recomposing: any way you like.
On Tuan the Celtics you pretty said "perfection is achieved not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away". Or "less is more".
And "On Tuan the Celtics you pretty" is Antoine de Saint-Exupery, World War Two fighter pilot and author of "Le Petit Prince", that book about the little prince who lives on a tiny planet. The fact that Siri butchers his name shows how uncultured she is. Back to hand-typing.

Lack of Regulatory Oversight Slowing Investment in U.S. Olive Oil Production, ITC Finds
The International Trade Commission issued Sept. 12 a report examining conditions of competition between the U.S. and major foreign suppliers of olive oil. This report provides information on production, consumption and trade, with an overview of the international market for olive oil, overviews of the commercial olive oil industries in the U.S. and other major supplying countries, analysis of the factors that affect the competitiveness of these countries, and an assessment of the role of imports and other factors, such as standards and pricing, on U.S. consumption. Highlights of the report include the following.
- Although U.S. production of olive oil remains small on a global scale, the U.S. is among the nontraditional producing countries that are responding to higher global demand and output has risen quickly in recent years. But recent investment in U.S. production has slowed in reaction to lower global prices following a succession of bumper crops in Spain and because of concern among U.S. producers that their competitive position in the domestic market is threatened by a lack of regulatory oversight.
- Current international standards for extra virgin olive oil allow a wide range of oil qualities to be marketed as extra virgin. These standards are widely unenforced, with mandatory testing and penalties for noncompliance existing only in Canada and the European Union. Broad and unenforced standards lead to adulterated and mislabeled products, weakening the competitiveness of high-quality producers, such as those in the U.S. who try to differentiate their product based on quality.
- EU government support programs contribute to high overall supplies of olive oil, reducing global olive oil prices. Many small growers in the EU rely on costly traditional methods of production and have costs that are at or above global prices. Because some of these producers would likely cease production in the absence of income support from the EU, the Common Agricultural Policy has the indirect effect of increasing total global olive oil supply and reducing prices.
- The U.S. olive oil industry produces high-quality extra virgin olive oil, mostly through highly mechanized and intensively managed groves. U.S. farm level production costs for olive oil are competitive, but lack of scale and high capitals costs result in higher prices in the retail market.

Immortal Grand Prix
Alternative: IGPX
Director: Koichi Mashimo
Character Design: Tomoaki Kado
Art director: Toshihisa Koyama
First Aired: October 15 2003
Genre: Robot
Episodes: 5
Age: 13
Series Review:
In the future mankind has developed a game where teams pilot giant robots in a tournament called the Immortal Grand Prix. However, the game is getting pretty repetitive and is losing some of its spark. Still there are some teams that can't get the dream of winning the IPGX out of their mind.
That's where we meet Team Suzaku, an amateur group of younger pilots that are the pilots of team that's going no where. Coincidentally their luck is about to change. The current IPGX champions have been taken out of the tournament. To solve the problem of who would take their place a lottery is set up, all teams are entered and who ever wins takes the teams place. This would mean that who ever wins the contest wouldn't have to fight the usual battles instead they would just battle whoever the final challenger is. The team that wins the contest is Team Suzaku.
While celebrating that they have won they quickly realize that they will be fighting the best in the entire tournament. Team Suzaku's mechs are really basic that can't compare with that of their challenger's, Team Sledge Mamma. Their dreams are suddenly crushed by the fact that they are most likely going to be butchered out there. To add to their troubles Team Suzaku realizes that they don't have any weapons. It looks like their dream to participate in the IGPX is turning into a nightmare.
The manager from the team that Team Suzaku is replacing contacts them, and agrees to give Team Suzaku his team's weapons to use in the battle; however, his reasons are still a mystery.
The final match starts. Team Suzaku is having trouble from the get go. Getting adjusted to their new weapons is hard, and one of the team's members has lost control of their mech. Their opponents, Team Sledge Mamma, have huge mechs and are all cybernetically enchased. They begin to pick apart each of Team Suzaku's mechs, this is looking bad.
Takeshi, Team Suzaku's leader, finds himself against the rest of Team Sledge Mamma by himself. It looks like the end for Team Suzaku, but Takeshi has won't give up; he's about to enter the toughest battle in his life and the odds are against him.
-Team Suzaku leader. He's confident in his team, but knows the odds that they are facing don't look good for them. His skills as a pilot aren't fully known to him yet, he'll have to go to his limit to realize what they are and attain his dream as IPGX champion
-The serious one in the group. Liz is the second pilot and second stronger for Team Suzaku. Liz knows that it's more than likely that her team won't come out of this match without bruises. Liz decides to quite while she still has all her body parts. She likes her team, but isn't going to risk her life on it.
-Amy's the youngest member of Team Suzaku, and she's a bit worried that her team mates are going to get hurt when they go against Team Sledge Mamma. Amy has a hard time handling her mech, especially when her cat, Luca, takes over control. She sacrifices her mech, and her place in the tournament, in order to save Takeshi from being eliminated.
-Team's Suzaku's mechanic. Because of their level as IGPX pilots U-Matsu doesn't have much to work with. He'll try to fix their mechs as much as he can with their limited equipment, but wonders if they'll stand a chance against Team Sledge Mamma. Being so use to their low success rate U-Matsu forgets to buy weapons for their teams; leaving no choice but to find a way to get them some weapons elsewhere.
-Team Suzaku's medic. He's pretty young, but does an ok job. He, like everyone else on his team, wonders if they'll be able to survive Team Sledge Mamma force.
Major Hamgra
-Leader of the team that Team Suzaku replaced. He contacts them to give them some helpful advice, Takeshi convinces him to let them use his team's weapons. Hamgra seems to have another reason for giving Team Suzaku his weapons, leaving Takeshi to believe its carte blanche only to surprise him with the bill win the match is over. His reason why he gave Team Suzaku weapons might correspond with why his team was removed.
Story 7.5/9
Characters 8/9
Music 7/9
Animation 8/9
Immortal Grand Prix brings micro-series to a new level: there are only five episodes in this series, and each episode is only a mere 5 minutes long. Meaning this is basically a 25 minute OVA. Although there have been internet rumors about them making a 26 episode series of this Anime; however, that is still to no avail. Originally part of Toonami's annual T.I.E event. Enough with gossip…
IGPX because of its short time span had no time to play around with, which means every moment of this series had to pertain to some part of the over all scheme of things, that scheme being the final battle of the IPGX. The animation was great and looked school. The anime is almost a fusion of GITS and Gundam, people in the anime have cyber-brains and pilot big robots, but it can stand on its own. The story is inspirational one. Team Suzaku shouldn't have one, the chances of them winning where non-existent, but they triumph. You can watch this anime from beginning to end and it will stay on story and on the object of Team Suzaku. You'll like this anime although you would probably have wanted to see more. The fact that Toonami rushed everything in this series just so that it could have fit the time schedule was a bad. This short series definitely showed promise and would have made a great series.
Hahaha, it took me longer to write this review that the length of the series. LOL

A former England rugby international has scored a big success off the field after setting up his own sports business in Asia.
James Forrester was a gifted forward for both Gloucester and England before injury cut his career short in 2008. But he put this setback behind him and ventured east to Singapore where he launched his unique brand of fitness boot camps.
Setting up his own business was very daunting at first for a man more used to team sheets than spreadsheets, especially when doing it on foreign soil.
But he chose a good place to start as Singapore has been ranked the world's best place to do business seven years in a row, according to the World Bank.
Called UFIT the boot camps focus on strength and speed, two crucial skills rugby players focus on in today's physical game. UFIT is now the biggest boot camp in Singapore and has plans to expand across the region.
James said: "Singapore works well for us as it has a large professional expat community for whom this form of outdoor exercise appeals. But KL (Kuala Lumpur), Jakarta and other cities in south-east Asia also have big expat communities we want to tap in to."
"Singapore has a very entrepreneurial feel about it and the government encourages that. The taxes are really low and if you are a start-up you don't have to start paying GST (the equivalent of VAT in the UK) until you have earned at least SG$1 million in revenue."
James, 31, is part of new breed of professional sportsmen who are more business-minded, appreciating their sports careers only have a short lifespan.
He added: "When I was at Gloucester a lot of the guys were aware of this and were setting up their own businesses. While I wasn't one to love the limelight, I would be stupid not to use my background to help me in the business world."
It would have been much harder for James to launch his boot camps in the UK where military-style fitness regimes are far more popular than in Asia.
But James didn't jump headfirst into the new business venture as soon as he arrived in Asia. "A good friend of mine got me a job as a broker but I knew from day one this wasn't for me. But I did learn a lot about business in the short while I was there."

What is this part of the Mass?
Midway through the Eucharistic Prayer the priest prays that the Holy Spirit will make our gifts we offer, the bread and wine, holy so that they become the Body and Blood of Christ. He then recounts the story of the very first Mass – the Last Supper on Holy Thursday. We call this telling of the Last Supper at Mass, the Institution Narrative. It is the story of Jesus instituting the Eucharist. Every time we come to Mass we remember what Jesus did for us and what he asked us to do. This is a critical part of the Mass and very dear to the heart of Catholics. Pay close attention here – you are about to witness firsthand a great miracle! Usually, you can even hear the people in church become quieter and more attentive as the priest speaks the words of Christ, as he lifts the consecrated host and chalice, and genuflects in adoration to the Real Presence of Christ. Some of the words you will hear at this time will be changing.
What do we say now and what is changing?
After the consecration of the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ we move to the Memorial Acclamation. Here we affirm that the risen Christ is with us now and that he will be coming again. We believe because Jesus promised us.
Instead of directing us to give the acclamation
"Let us proclaim…",
the priest will simply pronounce,
"The Mystery of Faith,"
acknowledging the reality that our acclamation is something that wells up from inside us, without prompting. Notice, too, the similarity with two other equally profound pronouncements in the Liturgy:
"The Word of the Lord / The Gospel of the Lord,"
"The Body of Christ / The Blood of Christ."
After the priest makes his pronouncement, we make it clear that we believe in the mystery of faith. This we shall do in one of three ways, all of which sound very familiar and yet changed slightly in the new translation:
The First Option:
"We proclaim your death, O Lord, and profess your resurrection until you come again."
When we profess Christ's resurrection we are saying we believe he rose from the dead and lives today. We believe he will come again in glory at the end of time.
The Second Option:
"When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup, we proclaim your Death, O Lord, until you come again."
When we proclaim Christ's death we profess publicly that we believe he died on the Cross and will come again. The text for the first two options is drawn directly from 1 Corinthians 11:26.
The Third Option:
"Save us, Savior of the world, for by your Cross and Resurrection, you have set us free."
In this acclamation, we profess that we believe Christ has freed us from sin by his Dying and Rising. The text for the third option is from John 4:42 and Galatians 5:1.
One significant change in the new Roman Missal is that the familiar acclamation
"Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again"
will no longer be used as an acclamation to the Mystery of Faith. The reason for this is that the three options given for the acclamation are all addressed
the Lord. They all note our relationship to Christ's Paschal Mystery. The acclamation "Christ has died…" does not follow this form and is
the Lord; thus it was not included in the options.
The Eucharistic Prayer ends with the priest praying a prayer of praise to God the Father, through, with, and in Christ; in the unity of the Holy Spirit. This is called a doxology. We respond with (raise hands)
The doxology of the priest will be slightly different however. Soon, you will hear these words:
"Though him, and with him, and in him; O God, almighty Father; in the unity of the Holy Spirit; all glory and honor is yours; for ever and ever."
The main difference here is the word flow, which more closely follows the flow of the Latin. It names the three Persons of the Trinity in succession, so it is easier to tell that the prayer is offered to God the Father, through Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Spirit. Just as we do not sing the doxology with the priest, so he should not sing the Amen with us. The Eucharistic Prayer concludes with a dialogue, just as it began.

Sustainable and resilient critical infrastructure systems is an emerging paradigm in an evolving era of depleting assets in the midst of natural and man-made threats to provide a sustainable and high quality of life with optimized resources from social, economic, societal and environmental considerations. The increasing complexity and interconnectedness of civil and other interdependent infrastructure systems (electric power, energy, cyber-infrastructures, etc.) require inter- and multidisciplinary expertise required to engineer, monitor, and sustain these distributed large-scale complex adaptive infrastructure systems. This edited book is motivated by recent advances in simulation, modeling, sensing, communications/information, and intelligent and sustainable technologies that have resulted in the development of sophisticated methodologies and instruments to design, characterize, optimize, and evaluate critical infrastructure systems, their resilience, and their condition and the factors that cause their deterioration. Specific topics discussed in this book include, but are not limited to: optimal infrastructure investment allocation for sustainability, framework for manifestation of tacit critical infrastructure knowledge, interdependencies between energy and transportation systems for national long term planning, intelligent transportation infrastructure technologies, emergent research issues in infrastructure interdependence research, framework for assessing the resilience of infrastructure and economic systems, maintenance optimization for heterogeneous infrastructure systems, optimal emergency infrastructure inspection scheduling, and sustainable rehabilitation of deteriorated transportation infrastructure systems.Computer Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering 19, 446a455 (2004) Durango, P.L., Madanat, S.M.: Optimal Maintenance and Repair Policies in Infrastructure Management under Uncertain Facility Deterioration Rates.

That's a question many are asking themselves these days. Bob Sutor from IBM, Jim Grisanzio from Sun, and Ted Haeger from Novell are among those that have concluded that to some extent, at least, it doesn't. For my part, I'm undecided. There's certainly material I don't include here but distribute to friends and family – much in the same manner that most of my Flickr pictures are public, but I keep anything with people in them private. But personally I appreciate some personal material in the blogs I read, and hope that corporate bloggers everywhere don't forget that uniformly on-topic blogs are at greater risk of going stale. Here's how I put it when Charlene Li of Forrester included "I Will Stay on Topic" as one of her corporate blogging guidelines:
This is the one I disagree with most. The most boring blogs I've read are the ones that are uniformly, unwaveringly, on-topic. Conversely, most of the ones I love to read every day have a great deal of off-topic information in there. Maybe I care for it, maybe I don't, but variety, as they say, is the spice of life. This can be taken too far of course (and I no doubt tried some folks patience around here during the Red Sox World Series run, though nobody so far as I can tell unsubscribed), but I think we're all capable of managing the signal to noise ratio ourselves.
But I'll be the first to admit that this is a highly subjective area. I find it rewarding in my interactions with people to know something more about them, as I find it helps build relationships, but what about you guys? Do you prefer less personal material? More? How about this space; would you all prefer that I scale back on my off-topic posts?

Raw Nerves
Speak Out!
Emergency Exit
However Willy Brandt and the new government in Bonn handle power, the fact remains that once again the Social Democrats have been swindled out of their proper majority. Of all those who fought for change, Günter Grass will be among the least astonished by this: this is not the first time that he has seen the Christian Democrats slip on a weighted glove for the last round of an election contest. In 1965, they called Willy Brandt a Red, a bastard, and a renegade, and reversed an unfavorable poll trend to come out on top. In 1969, on the excuse of a modest run on the Deutschmark, the alliance of Kiesinger's Christian Democrats (CDU) and Strauss's Christian Socialists (CSU) shut the currency exchanges three days before the poll and blamed Professor Schiller—the Social Democrat (SPD) Economics Minister in the coalition government—for undermining the currency. It worked, of course. Again the CDU/CSU braked the swing toward the Social Democrats, as an electorate ancestrally terrified of inflation jerked back in shock. Brandt saved enough with which to build a coalition, but the Christian Democrats came out as the largest single party.
Two years ago, Grass wrote that "there is no ground for hope that voters have…attained a maturity that would enable them in 1969 to give a party with the best political record a clear-cut majority." It would be cheering to hear what Grass can now add to this triumphant prophecy, with his second unauthorized election campaign for the Social Democrats behind him. As he says, he is a spectacularly bad loser: the 1969 election results in West Germany should reveal his talents as an ungrateful winner.
Here and there a memorable remark was made by one or the other politician during the 1969 campaign, dull as it was. But the only words worth preserving from the 1965 election, that humiliating auction of security, were Grass's own platform speeches, grouped together under the title "Democracy, of Thee I Sing." Two of them open this collection. They have lasted well. In the name of the SPD—though the party was too nervous to sponsor him openly—Grass set out on a one-man election tour of West Germany, a tour of the broad backsides of received ideas by a writer in hobnailed boots. The rudeness and the eloquence, the wit and common sense of these speeches made them famous. His target then was authority: the pomposity and blindness of "restoration" Germany, the creation of Adenauer, and the Prussian discipline of East Germany, the creation of Ulbricht. The young Christian Democrats screamed: the Left cheered.
Four years passed. In 1966, Grass's beloved Willy took the SPD into a coalition with Kiesinger which shocked the party's left wing and provoked Grass to several open letters (reprinted here). In 1969, however, Grass embarked on a second private-enterprise campaign for the SPD backed this time by the Social-Democrat Voters' Initiative, a…

To continue this house trend...
Mike 303 - Wonder Girls [right click to download]
As requested. Mike 303 isn't my favorite producer in the world (Superfunk is *soooo* much better IMO) but this track is definitely a classic and I love it. Mike's smooth production, Phyllis Hyman's "You Know How To Love Me" and a First Choice acapella makes a track that is simply to die for. Or, rather, to dance for?
The Private - My Secret Lover (Lifelike Remix) [right click to download]
Now this is some house. The Private's 2007 single "My Secret Lover" is a snoozefest of pop vocals and a horribly-integrated Chemise sample, but Lifelike (quite appropriately) funks it up. I could listen to this for hours - and I have been. The lyrics are extremely viral - I know most of the lyrics already and I only discovered this track three days ago. Overall it's a fantastic effort by Lifelike and makes me wish he did more remixes (or more anything, for that matter).
Since this is a bit of a cop-out post, here's a super-rare and (most probably) exclusive house track for you:
Wackside - Turtle Funk [right click to download]
Dropped by Daft Punk in their 1999 Miami set and then never again anywhere else ever, this rare-as-funk house track brings the groove and how. With a plethora of acapellas and some seriously bombtastic synth stabs, it's a surprise this one hasn't been more popular. Though Wackside is largely unremembered today, he (they?) sure know how to craft a track that will make a dancefloor explode.
This track is 100% exclusive to ilictronix as far as I can tell, so enjoy. :D
I'm undercover,
-your secret lover (Wulf)

Jesus guys, this is by far my favourite blog! All these diamond tracks! Keep up the good work.
Btw, that track by Mike 303 is featured on a cd I have called Funkadelicious 3, there are a lot of good filterhouse tracks on there that would fit on here!

From Martinsville, Virginia, USA:
My mother, who has type 2 diabetes, has started noticing soreness on the bottom of her feet. Should we be alarmed?
Soreness" is rather vague. The character of the pain would be helpful here. If this was a situation where the pain was worse with weight bearing or activity, the pain may be related to a traumatic injury to the foot. If the pain is burning in nature, is perceived to feel like pins and needles, worse at night, these symptoms may be the result of diabetic neuropathy.
If this occurs in association with diabetes, the best course of treatment is to optimize blood sugar control. If this still persists, other medicines can be used. The aggressiveness of therapy is dictated by the severity of the symptoms.

Sundance 2013: Weinsteins' Radius Nabs 'Twenty Feet From Stardom' Doc
The documentary about background singers premiered at Eccles Theatre on Jan. 17.
The Weinstein Co.'s Radius label has acquired the documentary Twenty Feet From Stardom. The deal is for low seven figures for all rights in North America, and a late summer 2013 theatrical release is planned. IFC and Magnolia were bidders for the film, according to sources.
The documentary follows the career of the backup singers to industry legends including Bruce Springsteen and Bette Midler. Director Morgan Neville brings to light the uncelebrated artists and the role they've played in popular music.
Twenty Feet From Stardom premiered at Eccles Theatre on Jan. 17 and received multiple standing ovations from the crowd. A handful of the featured background singers -- Judith Hill, Tata Vega and Merry Clayton -- spoke during the post-screening Q&A and broke out into song.
"We were overwhelmed by this beautiful film that focuses on the underdog -- these incredible artists who -- until now -- have been largely unknown," said Radius co-presidents Tom Quinn and Jason Janego in a statement. "We've been coming to Sundance for more than 15 years and we've rarely, if ever, seen an audience reaction like we did last night."
Radius is the Weinstein Co.'s specialty label that often handles day-and-date and VOD releases.
Twenty Feet From Stardom is screening in Sundance's U.S. Documentary Competition section.
"I'm so happy that these amazing singers who have spent their careers supporting stars are finally going to get their moment in the spotlight," said Neville in a statement. "We're thrilled to be working with Radius and TWC -- it means their voices will finally be heard."
Submarine Entertainment's Josh Braun and David Koh represented the filmmakers in the sale.

Kurt Schwitters, On the Edge, Gender, The Love Charm of Bombs
As the first major exhibition to examine the late work of Kurt Schwitters opens at Tate Britain, Night Waves tonight reassesses the oeuvre of the German painter, sculptor and writer. Schwitters became associated with the European Dada movement but went on to form his own one-man movement called 'Merz' - the theory that all materials are equal in status to paint. Art critic Charlotte Mullins considers whether the exhibition - which focuses on his British period - is successful in capturing this period of the artist's work.
Matthew Sweet talks to the author and sociology lecturer Dr Rupa Huq about her forthcoming book On the Edge, in which she argues that the English suburb has gone from being a paradise to a pressure cooker, and is now the new "inner city".
Gender has been a topic for national debate recently, focusing on the relationship between transgender women and traditional feminist politics. The modern distinction between sex and gender dates from the post-War period, with sex defined in biological terms and gender as a social category. But does the emergence of a vocal transgender lobby change the terms of the debate? Matthew is joined by the feminist writer and campaigner Julie Bindel, the writer Jane Fae and Lynne Segal, Professor of Psychology & Gender Studies at Birkbeck.
Matthew Sweet talks to Lara Feigel about her new book The Love Charm of Bombs, a wartime biography of five writers, amongst them Graham Greene, Elizabeth Bowen and Rose Macaulay who volunteered as ambulance drivers and ARP wardens.
That's Night Waves, tonight at 10pm with Matthew Sweet, here on Radio 3.
Producer: Estelle Doyle.

On The Edge: The contested cultures of English suburbia, by Rupa Huq is published by Lawrence & Wishart.

I recently bought a pair of PM-218's on Ebay - no manuals, no power supplies. Based on a decal on the underside of the lid, I built power supplies and managed to get six greens leds at power up. Both consoles are fully functional (and really good devices) except that the 8-input mult board is inoperative on both consoles.
I suspect that I am missing something with the power supply. I'm looking for information from someone with a PM-218 or PM-228 who might be familiar with this board.
Autogram seems inert and has been unable to help.

First report of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln...
Item # 614858
April 15, 1865
NEW-YORK TRIBUNE, April 15, 1865
* Abraham Lincoln assassination (1st report)
* Ford's Theater - John Wilkes Booth
This newspaper had already set their front page Civil War reports when the news of Lincoln's assassination came in causing them to report the tragic news on an inside page.
The photos show the page four column heads stating that President Lincoln had been shot. Included are twelve dispatches which chronicle the events and provides various particulars based on the best reports available. At press them, this newspaper still reports Lincoln being alive.
The first dispatch, dated "Friday, April 14, 1865", simply states: "The President was shot in a theatre tonight, and perhaps mortally wounded." Each subsequent dispatch provides more information, and in the sixth it mentions that "At about 10 1/2 o'clock, in the midst of one of the acts, a pistol shot was heard, and at the same instant a man leaped upon the stage from the same box occupied by the President, brandished a long knife, and shouted, "Sic semper tyrannis!" The next dispatch mentions Lincoln's condition and reveals the identity of the assassin: "No hopes are entertained for his recovery. Laura Keene claims to have recognized the assassin as the actor, John Wilkes Booth." Much more in the remaining dispatches, especially with regard to Lincoln's hopeless condition, as well as the confusion as revealed in the last dispatch: "The accounts are confused and contradictory....We go to press without knowing the exact truth, but presume there is the slightest ground for hope..." All columns on all pages are black-bordered to commemorate this tragic event.
Complete in 8 pages, various tears at margins with most on the inside leaves & to the bottom margins. The back two leaves have holes affecting only ads or non-Lincoln content. There are many tears at the spine margins of the inside leaves as well. Partially loose at the spine.

Nothing moves you like Citroen
The following parts were replaced:
Hydraulic pump.
Main hydraulic pipes.
Petrol pump... and of course I had some smaller problems.
General Comments:
Despite problems with it I really like this car. It is true that nothing moves you like Citroen. I enjoy every time I drive with because of its soft and smooth ride. After all, I bought it for a low price and I can get cheap used spare parts.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

HTML::Query - jQuery-like selection queries for HTML::Element
Creating an
HTML::Query object using the Query() constructor subroutine:
use HTML::Query 'Query';
# using named parameters
$q = Query( text => $text ); # HTML text
$q = Query( file => $file ); # HTML file
$q = Query( tree => $tree ); # HTML::Element object
$q = Query( query => $query ); # HTML::Query object
$q = Query(
text => $text1, # or any combination
text => $text2, # of the above
file => $file1,
file => $file2,
tree => $tree,
query => $query,
# passing elements as positional arguments
$q = Query( $tree ); # HTML::Element object(s)
$q = Query( $tree1, $tree2, $tree3, ... );
# or from one or more existing queries
$q = Query( $query1 ); # HTML::Query object(s)
$q = Query( $query1, $query2, $query3, ... );
# or a mixture
$q = Query( $tree1, $query1, $tree2, $query2 );
# the final argument (in all cases) can be a selector
my $spec = 'ul.menu li a'; #
..
..
$q = Query( $tree, $spec );
$q = Query( $query, $spec );
$q = Query( $tree1, $tree2, $query1, $query2, $spec );
$q = Query( text => $text, $spec );
$q = Query( file => $file, $spec );
$q = Query( tree => $tree, $spec );
$q = Query( query => $query, $spec );
$q = Query(
text => $text,
file => $file,
# ...etc...
Or using the OO new() constructor method (which the Query() subroutine maps onto):
use HTML::Query;
$q = HTML::Query->new(
# accepts the same arguments as Query()
Or by monkey-patching a query() method into HTML::Element.
use HTML::Query 'query'; # note lower case 'q'
use HTML::TreeBuilder;
# build a tree
my $tree = HTML::TreeBuilder->new;
# call the query() method on any element
my $query = $tree->query($spec);
Once you have a query, you can start selecting elements:
@r = $q->query('a'); # all ... elements
@r = $q->query('a#menu'); # all  with "menu" id
@r = $q->query('#menu'); # all elements with "menu" id
@r = $q->query('a.menu'); # all  with "menu" class
@r = $q->query('.menu'); # all elements with "menu" class
@r = $q->query('a[href]'); # all  with 'href' attr
@r = $q->query('a[href=foo]'); # all  with 'href="foo"' attr
# you can specify elements within elements...
@r = $q->query('ul.menu li a'); #
...
...
# and use commas to delimit multiple path specs for different elements
@r = $q->query('table tr td a, ul.menu li a, form input[type=submit]');
# query() in scalar context returns a new query
$r = $q->query('table'); # find all tables
$s = $r->query('tr'); # find all rows in all those tables
$t = $s->query('td'); # and all cells in those rows...
Inspecting query elements:
# get number of elements in query
my $size = $q->size
# get first/last element in query
my $first = $q->first;
my $last = $q->last;
# convert query to list or list ref of HTML::Element objects
my $list = $q->list; # list ref in scalar context
my @list = $q->list; # list in list context
All other methods are mapped onto the HTML::Element objects in the query:
print $query->as_trimmed_text; # print trimmed text for each element
print $query->as_HTML; # print each element as HTML
$query->delete; # call delete() on each element
HTML::Query module is an add-on for the HTML::Tree module set. It provides a simple way to select one or more elements from a tree using a query syntax inspired by jQuery. This selector syntax will be reassuringly familiar to anyone who has ever written a CSS selector.
HTML::Query is not an attempt to provide a complete (or even near-complete) implementation of jQuery in Perl (see Ingy's pQuery module for a more ambitious attempt at that). Rather, it borrows some of the tried and tested selector syntax from jQuery (and CSS) that can easily be mapped onto the
look_down() method provided by the HTML::Element module.
Creating a Query
The easiest way to create a query is using the exportable Query() subroutine.
use HTML::Query 'Query'; # note capital 'Q'
It accepts a
text or
file named parameter and will create an
HTML::Query object from the HTML source text or file, respectively.
my $query = Query( text => $text );
my $query = Query( file => $file );
This delegates to HTML::TreeBuilder to parse the HTML into a tree of HTML::Element objects. The root element returned is then wrapped in an
HTML::Query object.
If you already have one or more HTML::Element objects that you want to query then you can pass them to the Query() subroutine as arguments. For example, you can explicitly use HTML::TreeBuilder to parse an HTML document into a tree:
use HTML::TreeBuilder;
my $tree = HTML::TreeBuilder->new;
And then create an
HTML::Query object for the tree either using an explicit
tree named parameter:
my $query = Query( tree => $tree );
Or implicitly using positional arguments.
my $query = Query( $tree );
If you want to query across multiple elements, then pass each one as a positional argument.
my $query = Query( $tree1, $tree2, $tree3 );
You can also create a new query from one or more existing queries,
my $query = Query( query => $query ); # named parameter
my $query = Query( $query1, $query2 ); # positional arguments.
You can mix and match these different parameters and positional arguments to create a query across several different sources.
$q = Query(
text => $text1,
text => $text2,
file => $file1,
file => $file2,
tree => $tree,
query => $query,
The Query() subroutine is a simple wrapper around the new() constructor method. You can instantiate your objects manually if you prefer. The new() method accepts the same arguments as for the Query() subroutine (in fact, the Query() subroutine simply forwards all arguments to the new() method).
use HTML::Query;
my $query = HTML::Query->new(
# same argument format as for Query()
A final way to use
HTML::Query is to have it add a query() method to HTML::Element. The
query import hook (all lower case) can be specified to make this so.
use HTML::Query 'query'; # note lower case 'q'
use HTML::TreeBuilder;
my $tree = HTML::TreeBuilder->new;
# now all HTML::Elements have a query() method
my @items = $tree->query('ul li'); # find all list items
This approach, often referred to as monkey-patching, should be used carefully and sparingly. It involves a violation of HTML::Element's namespace that could have unpredictable results with a future version of the module (e.g. one which defines its own
query() method that does something different). Treat it as something that is great to get a quick job done right now, but probably not something to be used in production code without careful consideration of the implications.
Selecting Elements
Having created an
HTML::Query object by one of the methods outlined above, you can now fetch descendant elements in the tree using a simple query syntax. For example, to fetch all the
 elements in the tree, you can write:
@links = $query->query('a');
Or, if you want the elements that have a specific
class attribute defined with a value of, say
menu, you can write:
@links = $query->query('a.menu');
More generally, you can look for the existence of any attribute and optionally provide a specific value for it.
@links = $query->query('a[href]'); # any href attribute
@links = $query->query('a[href=index.html]'); # specific value
You can also find an element (or elements) by specifying an id.
@links = $query->query('#menu'); # any element with id="menu"
@links = $query->query('ul#menu'); # ul element with id="menu"
You can provide multiple selection criteria to find elements within elements within elements, and so on. For example, to find all links in a menu, you can write:
# matches:

@links = $query->query('ul.menu li a');
You can separate different criteria using commas. For example, to fetch all table rows and
span elements with a
foo class:
@elems = $query->('table tr, span.foo');
Query Results
When called in list context, as shown in the examples above, the query() method returns a list of HTML::Element objects matching the search criteria. In scalar context, the query() method returns a new
HTML::Query object containing the HTML::Element objects found. You can then call the query() method against that object to further refine the query. The query() method applies the selection to all elements stored in the query.
my $tables = $query->query('table'); # find all tables
my $rows = $tables->query('tr'); # find all rows in those tables
my $cells = $rows->query('td'); # find all cells in those rows
Inspection Methods
The size() method returns the number of elements in the query. The first() and last() methods return the first and last items in the query, respectively.
if ($query->size) {
print "from ", $query->first->as_trimmed_text,
" to ", $query->last->as_trimmed_text;
If you want to extract the HTML::Element objects from the query you can call the list() method. This returns a list of HTML::Element objects in list context, or a reference to a list in scalar context.
@elems = $query->list;
$elems = $query->list;
Element Methods
Any other methods are automatically applied to each element in the list. For example, to call the
as_trimmed_text() method on all the HTML::Element objects in the query, you can write:
print $query->as_trimmed_text;
In list context, this method returns a list of the return values from calling the method on each element. In scalar context it returns a reference to a list of return values.
@text_blocks = $query->as_trimmed_text;
$text_blocks = $query->as_trimmed_text;
See HTML::Element for further information on the methods it provides.
Basic Selectors
Matches all elements of a particular type.
@elems = $query->query('table'); #

Matches all elements with a specific id attribute.
@elems = $query->query('#menu'); # <ANY id="menu">
This can be combined with an element type:
@elems = $query->query('ul#menu'); #

Matches all elements with a specific class attribute.
@elems = $query->query('.info'); # <ANY class="info">
This can be combined with an element type and/or element id:
@elems = $query->query('p.info'); #

@elems = $query->query('p#foo.info'); #

@elems = $query->query('#foo.info'); # <ANY id="foo" class="info">
Matches elements that have the specified attribute, including any where the attribute has no value.
@elems = $query->query('[href]'); # <ANY href="...">
This can be combined with any of the above selectors. For example:
@elems = $query->query('a[href]'); #
@elems = $query->query('a.menu[href]'); #
You can specify multiple attribute selectors. Only those elements that match all of them will be selected.
@elems = $query->query('a[href][rel]'); #
Matches elements that have an attribute set to a specific value. The value can be quoted in either single or double quotes, or left unquoted.
@elems = $query->query('[href=index.html]');
@elems = $query->query('[href="index.html"]');
@elems = $query->query("[href='index.html']");
You can specify multiple attribute selectors. Only those elements that match all of them will be selected.
@elems = $query->query('a[href=index.html][rel=home]');
KNOWN BUG: you can't have a
] character in the attribute value because it confuses the query parser. Fixing this is TODO.
Hierarchical Selectors
The basic selectors listed above can be combined in a whitespace delimited sequence to select down through a hierarchy of elements. Consider the following table:

WE WANT THIS ELEMENT

AND THIS ONE
To locate the cells that we're interested in, we can write:
@elems = $query->query('table.search tr.result td.value');
Each element specification can be arbitrarily complex.
@elems = $query->query(
Combining Selectors
You can combine basic and hierarchical selectors into a single query by separating each part with a comma. The query will select all matching elements for each of the comma-delimited selectors. For example, to find all
b and
i elements in a tree:
@elems = $query->query('a, b, i');
Each of these selectors can be arbitrarily complex.
@elems = $query->query(
'table.search[width=100%] tr.result[valign=top] td.value,
form.search input[type=submit],
Query() constructor subroutine (note the capital letter) can be exported as a convenient way to create
HTML::Query objects. It simply forwards all arguments to the new() constructor method.
use HTML::Query 'Query';
my $query = Query( file => $file, 'ul.menu li a' );
query() export hook can be called to monkey-patch a query() method into the HTML::Element module.
This is considered questionable behaviour in polite society which regards it as a violation of the inner sanctity of the HTML::Element.
But if you're the kind of person that doesn't mind a bit of occasional namespace abuse for the sake of getting the job done, then go right ahead. Just don't blame me if it all blows up later.
use HTML::Query 'query'; # note lower case 'q'
use HTML::TreeBuilder;
# build a tree
my $tree = HTML::TreeBuilder->new;
# call the query() method on any element
my $query = $tree->query('ul li a');
HTML::Query object is a subclass of Badger::Base and inherits all of its method.
This constructor method is used to create a new
HTML::Query object. It expects a list of any number (including zero) of HTML::Element or
HTML::Query objects.
# single HTML::Element object
my $query = HTML::Query->new($elem);
# multiple element object
my $query = HTML::Query->new($elem1, $elem2, $elem3, ...);
# copy elements from an existing query
my $query = HTML::Query->new($another_query);
# copy elements from several queries
my $query = HTML::Query->new($query1, $query2, $query3);
# or a mixture
my $query = HTML::Query->new($elem1, $query1, $elem2, $query3);
You can also use named parameters to specify an alternate source for a element.
$query = HTML::Query->new( file => $file );
$query = HTML::Query->new( text => $text );
In this case, the HTML::TreeBuilder module is used to parse the source file or text into a tree of HTML::Element objects.
For the sake of completeness, you can also specify element trees and queries using named parameters:
$query = HTML::Query->new( tree => $tree );
$query = HTML::Query->new( query => $query );
You can freely mix and match elements, queries and named sources. The query will be constructed as an aggregate across them all.
$q = HTML::Query->new(
text => $text1,
text => $text2,
file => $file1,
file => $file2,
tree => $tree,
query => $query1,
The final, optional argument can be a selector specification. This is immediately passed to the query() method which will return a new query with only those elements selected.
my $spec = 'ul.menu li a'; #
..
..
my $query = HTML::Query->new( $tree, $spec );
my $query = HTML::Query->new( text => $text, $spec );
my $query = HTML::Query->new(
text => $text,
file => $file,
The list of arguments can also be passed by reference to a list.
my $query = HTML::Query->new(\@args);
This method locates the descendant elements identified by the
$spec argument for each element in the query. In list context it returns a list of matching HTML::Element objects. In scalar context it returns a new
HTML::Query object containing the element objects.
my @elements = $query->query($spec);
my $new_query = $query->query($spec);
See "QUERY SYNTAX" for the permitted syntax of the
$spec argument.
Returns the number of elements in the query.
Returns the first element in the query.
my $elem = $query->first;
If the query is empty then an exception will be thrown. If you would rather have an undefined value returned then you can use the
try method inherited from Badger::Base. This effectively wraps the call to
first() in an
eval block to catch any exceptions thrown.
my $elem = $query->try('first')
|| warn "no first element\n";
Similar to first(), but returning the last element in the query.
my $elem = $query->last;
Returns a list of the HTML::Element object in the query in list context, or a reference to a list in scalar context.
my @elems = $query->list;
my $elems = $query->list;
AUTOLOAD method maps any other method calls to the HTML::Element objects in the list. When called in list context it returns a list of the values returned from calling the method on each element. In scalar context it returns a reference to a list of return values.
my @text_blocks = $query->as_trimmed_text;
my $text_blocks = $query->as_trimmed_text;
Attribute Values
It is not possible to use
] in an attribute value. This is due to a limitation in the parser which will be fixed RSN.

Installing Elgg On An ISPConfig 3 System
Version 1.0
Author: Falko Timme
Elgg is an open-source web application written in PHP that allows you to run a social-networking site. This tutorial shows how you can install it on a server running ISPconfig 3.
I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!
1 Preliminary Note
I'm assuming that you have a working ISPConfig 3 system, set up according to the instructions for ISPConfig 3 and your distribution on http://www.ispconfig.org/documentation.htm.
I will use the web site www.example.com here in this guide where I will install Elgg.
2 Creating The Web Site www.example.com In ISPConfig 3
First we create the web site www.example.com in ISPConfig 3. Go to the Sites tab and click on Add new website:
Select the IP address for the web site and fill in example.com as the domain; then scroll down...
... and select www in the Auto-Subdomain drop-down menu as well as Mod-PHP in the PHP drop-down menu; then click on Save:
Go to the Options tab of the new web site and fill in the following lines in the Apache directives field:
[<Directory /var/www/example.com/web> AllowOverride All </Directory>
This is to make sure that the .htaccess file that comes with Elgg will work correctly (otherwise you might get a 500 server error). Please write down the document root of the web site (/var/clients/client0/web2 in this case) - we will need it later in the Elgg installer:
You should see the new web site in the list of web sites in ISPConfig afterwards:
Open another browser window and go to http://www.example.com, and you should see the ISPConfig placeholder page:
3 Creating An FTP User
Next we need to create an FTP user so that we can upload the Elgg sources to our new web site. Go to FTP-User on the Sites tab and click on Add new FTP-User:
Select the example.com web site and fill in a username and password, then click on Save. The username will have a prefix, so it will be a little different from what you typed in - you can see the full username...
... on the overview page (the username is defaultfalko in this example):
Sub pages
Suggested articles
2 Comment(s)
The apache directive:
[<Directory /var/www/example.com/web>
AllowOverride All
causes Apache2 to fail if the "[" is added in ispconfig 3
edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and delete the "["
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart.
Related: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42753apache2
In the U.K. character set there is an odd character at the beginning of the attached sample, which if cut and pasted exactly as it appears creates an error.
[<Directory /var/www/example.com/web> AllowOverride All </Directory>

Society, Media & Culture
Photo HHKuwait's society today can be traced back to the 17th century, when a number of families originating from that part of the Arab Peninsula known as al-Nejd, settled in the region which is now Kuwait. From the city of Kuwait, in the tip of the Persian Gulf, they frequented the oceans in their traditional dhow ships in order to trade goods. Others made a living as fishermen or pearl divers.
In the 1950s Kuwait began to exploit its large oil reserves. The traditional Arab society changed drastically as a result, although a traditional Kuwait still exists alongside the ultramodern consumer society.
Relations within Kuwaiti society have also been deeply effected by the arrival of large numbers of migrant workers from the Arab world and elsewhere, who make up a majority of the Kuwaiti population. Kuwait has paved the way as a wealthy oil state on the Arabian Peninsula. It has also – by trial and error – been a frontrunner in introducing changes in the parliamentary control of the executive power – for centuries dominated by the Sabah family.

Scott Rudin Bringing Swamplandia! to HBO
The gator farm is making a comeback.
Rudin will executive produce the half-hour comedy based on Karen Russell's debut novel, the story of a failed Everglades gator farm and the family who runs it. (Presumably, the show will focus on Ava, the book's 13-year-old narrator/gator-wrangler and her haughty 17-year-old brother Kiwi. Oh, and don't forget the Bird Man.) You may remember that Rudin is also attached to the Noah Baumbach HBO adaptation of The Corrections; it's been a big month for him and fancy novels that people like to argue about at dinner parties. Next up: Marriage Plot? People have so many opinions about that bandana. [THR]

Published at Friday, February 16th, 2018 - 18:02:57 PM. Dining Room Chair. By Marlene Brahm.
Excerpt from high back dining room chair :
Your dining room is a rather important portion of your life and having the proper furniture in it's a true bonus. Redoing the dining room is just one of the things which a whole lot of people would love to do. Some dining rooms are excessively small while others are excessively large. Furnishing your ideal dining room has never been simpler and more affordable, due to our stunning sets of dining sets. Even for those who have a little dining room there are options. An official dining room in your house set is preferable once you have the use of an entire room, especially in the event that you love to entertain.
Today's chairs are not just created for ergonomic reasons, but they've become statements of private identity. High-use chairs take a fabric with a firm weave to prevent snagging and quick wear. Classic wingback chairs are going to have complete back giving full back support.
Metal chairs go nicely with glass or metallic dining tables and in addition, they complement the Bauhaus style. One of the absolute most important things you ought to begin with when deciding what kind of dining chairs to buy is the way to combine a great, comfortable chair that doesn't provide you with a backache, with something that's chic and fashionable. Dining chairs are crucial for practically any dining room. Take a peek at our beautiful group of Windsor dining chairs to come across the ones which you are searching for.
If you're using all your chairs on a normal basis, consider some folding chairs to give additional business or holiday seating. For instance, a massive chair upholstered in a huge print may overwhelm a little room, a small print on a sizable chair will blur and loose its definition. Even if you believe a particular high chair is adorable, you will wind up hating it if cleaning is a struggle.
While shopping for a specific color of wood or kind of table, such as French style, it could be hard to get a counter-height table which suits your design requirements. Though a counter-height table is just 36 inches tall, it's a lengthy drop for smaller children. You might want to have a new table and chairs or perhaps your floor should be redone.
Spray overlapping bands of lacquer throughout the table until it appears wet. Assess the room for the table during its fullest length in the event the table expands. So whether you're searching for an antique dining table, large set of chairs, antique desk, bookcase or sideboard, we'll always provide an extensive stock option to view 7 days weekly. For example, a completely new dining table can alter the entire atmosphere of your dining room and be a significant feature for your family members and guests to relish.
In case the table has a beveled rim, you may use a little hand tool like a block plane in an effort to approximately match the appropriate slope of the table edge. Round tables may seem good, but when you have a little room it might not be practical. Round Tables Round tables offer you space-saving features on account of the deficiency of square corners.

Join Morten Rand-Hendriksen for an in-depth discussion in this video Displaying information through the web, part of Making Sense of the CSS Box Model.
A simple document looks like a printed document, but is in reality just light and dark pixels on a screen. An image looks like a photo, but is in reality just projected hues, saturation and lightness generated by the computer when and if we tell it to do so. The items themselves don't really exist. Instead what we're presented with are temporary manifestations, or reproductions really, of the items in the context of the screen. And these manifestations are generated by the web browser.
If we establish as a baseline that the web is a tool to communicate information from the publisher to the visitor and vice versa, and we combine this with the knowledge that the web browser creates temporary manifestations of this information in whatever form the visitor requests, we can identity the job of the web designer and developer as being responsible for providing the browser with the necessary instructions to present the content in the most accessible way for the visitor. This could mean many things. Providing proper accessible markup to allow the visitor to choose how they want to consume the information, providing responsive designs to present the content in the best possible way across all screens, creating informational user experiences that are easily understood by the visitor.
The list goes on. To meet these goals it's vital to understand how the browser sees the content and know how to instruct the browser to display the content in the best possible way for humans. After all, the browser has no comprehension of the information. It just sees markup and parses it to be displayed on a screen based on pre-configured algorithms. Start printing out text from the top left hand corner in the default font. Display images inline. Use the available space.
By understanding how the browser sees the content and how to instruct the browser to display the content in the best possible way, we can change the presentation of that content into anything we want. On the web content and the presentation of that content are separated between HTML and CSS, meaning we have an almost unlimited canvas to work with. And it all starts with the simple realization that the web is made of boxes.
He covers techniques such as styling text and images, floating content, using display properties, and positioning elements. He'll also show you how to take your website beyond boxes with advanced CSS tools and techniques. Each lesson is supported by real-world demonstrations of the concepts in action, and Morten closes with a "nightcap" that will get you thinking about going further with CSS.

BEAVER CREEK, Colorado (Reuters) - Lindsey Vonn retakes the world championship spotlight on Friday with the women's blue riband downhill set to deliver some high-speed thrills and excitement.
After winning bronze in the championship-opening Super-G on Tuesday, Vonn has quickly reset her sights on downhill gold and will push out of the start hut onto the challenging Raptor layout as the heavy favorite.
"I'm looking forward to Friday when it's supposed to be really good weather so hopefully we'll have a nice, fair race and I'll able to get another medal," said Vonn. "I can definitely ski better."
Injury prone Frenchwoman Marion Rolland will not be in Vail to defend the downhill crown she won two years ago after tearing knee ligaments in a World Cup Super-G last month in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.
But there will be plenty of quality in a field that includes in-form Slovenian Tina Maze, who shared Olympic gold in Sochi with Switzerland's Dominique Gisin, 2011 world champion Austrian Elisabeth Goergl and Vonn, the 2009 winner.
Maze, who is looking to medal in all five disciplines in Beaver Creek, launched her championship in style with a silver in Tuesday's Super-G, pushing Vonn into third.
"To be hungry every day is not easy ... staying hungry is one of the things I want," said Maze, the current overall World Cup leader.
Swiss speedster Lara Gut, comes into the race riding the momentum from a victory in the last downhill prior to the worlds and will be bubbling with confidence having won the only women's downhill ever contested at Beaver Creek.
Gut will be a skier to watch but all eyes will be on Vonn, who has also stood atop the podium in Beaver Creek winning a Super-G in 2012.
A world and Olympic downhill champion, Vonn arrived in Vail having claimed the mantle of the most successful women's skier of all-time with 64 World Cup wins, including two downhills this season.
In total, Vonn has recorded five World Cup victories in what has been a dazzling comeback campaign after a career-threatening crash at the Schladming worlds put her on the sidelines for almost two seasons.
"I had a short preparation period just because of my knee and my rehab, it took a long time," said Vonn. "I just needed a little bit more time to train and I certainly haven't had that."

Of all the games I made, I like this one the best.
It was actually very hard for me to force myself to
work on it because I just couldn't stop playing it.
The user interface is so simple I'm worried you won't notice the unique
strategic gameplay of Pax Galaxia. Cunning attacks and deceitful retreats,
dramatic encirclements and desperate break-through rescue efforts are the
highpoints of a wonderfully dynamic game.
As far as the value of this title goes, your $20 will be well spent. There are more
than thirty maps to choose from, and you can quickly make many more
using the random map generator and the easy to use
in-game editor. You can choose between four
levels of difficulty and each map can be played multiple times with each of the
opposing forces. You'll be entertained for months.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Ahmad Brooks and Donte Whitner returned interceptions for touchdowns, the 49ers sacked Drew Brees five times, and San Francisco ended the New Orleans Saints' three-game winning streak, 31-21 on Sunday.
Colin Kaepernick was solid in his second-career start while Alex Smith, deemed healthy enough to suit up, watched from the sideline. Kaepernick passed for 231 yards, including a short touchdown to Frank Gore. He also ran for a 7-yard score. He threw his first career interception, but it was inconsequential.
Brees finished with 267 yards and three TDs. After rushing for 140 yards or more in each of its previous three games, New Orleans (5-6) managed only 59 yards against San Francisco (8-2-1).
One of Brees' scoring passes went to Marques Colston, who set a Saints record with his 56th career touchdown with the club

MEN'S COLLECTIONshop now
The Aldo Bruè collection is the result of a journey that has its origins in the history of the brand. Both the men's and women's models are created by hand in Italy and represent the result of 80 years of experience. They are the fruit of the work of many people inspired by a strong passion and bond with the territory. The ICON models take a leading role. In the 1970s and 1980s, they made the Aldo Bruè brand popular around the globe. The composite collections satisfy different markets but are always unique, expressing elegance and refinement, both in the classic and the casual models. All the shoes, today as in the past, are made completely by hand in the historical headquarters in Monte San Pietrangeli following the techniques of the artisan tradition: an art which now only a few masters know and still practise. The use of refined, select leather, combined with the Ago Bologna processes and the bagged constructions like the California slip last and the Tubular method, provide exceptional comfort.
Woman Collectionshop now
The women's collection, without hiding its masculine side, has been developed with greater heel height. It takes inspiration from menswear with the classic Oxford and Derby shoes and uses shining, scratched and laminated leathers; it combines platforms with the ten heel, with collars edged in mink. It includes ankle boots and sneakers made of shearling. The fine materials, colours, processes, and refined and elegant details also characterise the sportiest models, whether trainers or moon boots. A series of coordinated accessories is offered alongside the men's and women's shoe collections.
The Aldo Bruè video corporate .
Aldo Bruè shoes are synonymous with the art of shoemaking, with the quest for perfection in the shapes, creativity in the styles and materials, experience in the most ancient production techniques, and the ability to reinterpret and adapt them to the demands of the international markets.

How DC's behind-the-scenes shakeup is affecting Aquaman
We've finally gotten a reaction to the DC Extended Universe's behind-the-scenes shakeup from someone involved with the DCEU. DC Comics Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns has been chosen to oversee DC's films alongside Warner Bros. exec Jon Berg, and Suicide Squad has undergone reshoots to supposedly make the end result feel more fun. Speaking with The Conjuring 2 director James Wan, CinemaBlend got to ask about one of his most anticipated projects, Aquaman, and how it will be affected by these changes.
"To be honest, it's not as dramatic as the press is making it out to be—from what I'm seeing. And right now I'm seeing everything as more an outsider looking into this box. So from that perspective, it's really cool that it's not crazy, crazy dramatic. I think it's great. Geoff Johns is super talented, super smart," Wan said. "Part of what got me excited about the Aquaman character is his re-envisioning of Aquaman, the character, with the New 52. And that's super exciting. And I'm working very closely with him, and I want to work with him very closely to shape the story that I want to tell."

If you have been wanting to root your Droid X, but the 21 step process we told you about last week seemed about 20 steps too difficult then your ship has finally come in.
Yet another Alldroid user, Sil3ntKi113, has built off the work of Birdman and the crew that first rooted the Droid X last week and simplified things down to basically the two big buttons seen above (warning: Windows only at the moment).
Now as I'm guessing making things this easy may entice some of the newer users to root I want to make a couple things clear.
First of all once you are done with this you will be able to install any of the apps you find in the Market or elsewhere that tell you they are for "root users only," but it does not enable you to switch to CyanogenMod or any other ROM so don't try it.
One of the other temptations you might face is to delete some of the bloatware that Motorola and Verizon have bestowed on you in their infinite wisdom. There are some things such as City ID, Blockbuster, and Skype that you can kill with impunity, but under no circumstances should you be deleting anything with Blur in its name and for the love of the double rainbow do not delete the Motorola Backup Assistant as you will find yourself with a 4.3″ brick.
With those caveats out of the way, rooting is awesome and if you haven't tried it before this method is definitely easing you in gently to the shallow end of the pool with the graphical interface and even a one click option for unrooting.
As some people got a little thrown by finding the source link last time I'll go ahead and say that you can find the file along with a couple other instructions on how to go about getting your root on by either following the source link or this link right here.
Let us know how it goes for you.
