Jeweller who arranged ring for Dodi accused of lyingDecember 7th, 2007 - 2:04 pm ICT by admin
London, Dec 7 (ANI): A jeweller who claims to have arranged a ring for Dodi Al Fayed to present to Princess Diana was lying, the inquest into the couples deaths has heard.
Claude Roulet, ex deputy president of the Paris Ritz, told the jury that he had helped Dodi to select a ring from Alberto Repossis shop in Paris, the night before the pair died in 1997.
He said that Repossi changed his account to the media of how the ring was bought.
He disputed Repossis claims that the piece of jewellery was intended as an engagement ring, and that the couple had chosen the ring together.
I know that a few days after the accident, Mr Repossi started giving different accounts of the events and that his director of communications, Gilles Montrichard, advised him against making things up," The Sun quoted Roulet, as saying. The inquest has earlier heard Repossis claims in which he says that a ring had already been selected in Monte Carlo, had been sent to Italy to be sized, and was due to be collected in Paris. However, Roulet said the selection of a ring from Repossi's "Dis-moi Oui" (Tell me Yes) range was a delayed decision, and that Dodi did not even look at it.
He said that Dodi and picked the ring as it was the cheapest of a group offered to him.
Roulet, who left the Ritz Hotel in 2004, told the hearing in London that he had complained to the hotel president, Franz Klein, about Repossi's false claims.
"I remember I said to Mr. Klein, 'But why he is lying?' and Mr. Klein told me, 'Well shut up, it is not your matter, he said.
Dodis father Mohamed Al Fayed insists that his son and the princess were about to announce their engagement, and that she was pregnant with his child.
He also claims that the couple were targets of a conspiracy, hatched by Prince Phillip. (ANI)

By Lisa Barr
I was at a graduation party earlier this year, and I saw in the distance a very attractive, 30-something woman whom I vaguely recognized. I wasn't wearing my glasses (don't get me started on how my eyes are changing for the worst on a daily basis). As I got closer, I realized I had seen this woman in the school carpool line on numerous occasions. I had heard about her from other Moms. She was what I call a "Step–Mommy" — a step-mother who loves her three step-children as though they were her very own.
"Hi," I said, as I approached her when I saw she was alone. "I'm Lisa Barr. I know this is so out of left-field, and probably strange. But I heard you are an awesome step-mom. I value that more than you could even know. My step-daughter is so special to me. I've had her in my life since she was four. I know the whole dynamic isn't easy, but I heard you treat your husband's kids amazing. It's truly a gift."
And she burst out crying right there. Full-on tears. I began to apologize profusely for my Big Mouth With No Filter –I didn't mean to upset her or touch a nerve about something so personal — but I have a habit of going to those places.
"Thank you," she said, wiping her eyes. "I have worked so hard to make those relationships important." She paused. "I had a terrible step-mother, and I vowed if this kind of situation ever happened to me, I would do it right. I know how each of those children feels — because I was once that kid … and it hurt. My goal as a step-mom was above all to take away the pain. Those kids had already been through enough."
A woman — "Alexa" — approached me in Starbucks recently (If you are a regular GW blog reader, you know that is where I write or "live" as my husband would say).
"Can I talk to you?" she said with a slight urgency.
"Sure. What's up?"
"I know you write a lot about family dynamics, dysfunction, etc. Well, I've been dating this great guy for a few years and I love his son, but his high-school daughter is an absolute nightmare. No matter what I do, what I say, she is a total bitch to me." Her eyes welled up with tears. "I mean, why does she hate me? What did I ever do to her?"
"Nothing," I said, "…except you exist. Your presence insures that her parents will never get back together. And in her mind, you are taking HER precious time away from her Dad. You are simply in the way, and she wants you to go away."
"Exactly." She shrugged. "So I've just decided to shut off, and give her back what she gives to me."
"That," I said with all honesty, "is your first mistake."
Step-parenting is the most sensitive aspect of post-Divorce, and the most critical piece to your new marriage. Most second marriages fall apart because of issues related to the kids.
Mine, Yours, Ours, Your ex-spouse's New Kids/Step Kids, Half Siblings — the whole kitchen sink — is, at times, a mess. And the mess all comes down to guilt. For a parent who only sees his/her "biological" child say half the time, when that child is with his biological Mom or Dad — that parent does not necessarily parent "naturally." Many times the parent will go "overboard" to insure their kid is happy and entertained, and gets the maximum attention, to make up for the divorce; the unnatural separation. This is SO totally understandable.
Divorce sucks, and the worst part is being "scheduled" to see your own child.
This "scenario" can potentially create issues between step-kids and "biological" children living in the same house — putting parents in the middle. This also can cause tension and resentment between the parents. It is so important to be on top of this from the get-go. Let me make this clear — I'm not a therapist — just an opinionated writer — a child of divorce, a divorcee, a single mom, remarried, and now a step-mommy — lots of hats, lots of experience in the Divorce Department.
You cannot have a strong, happy relationship if you don't develop a close, caring relationship with your step-child (children). That is the egg; your new spouse is the chicken. All the passion in the world can't make up for a crappy relationship with your new spouse's kid.
To Alexa, I say this: Approach the high-school daughter and say: "Hey, I'd like to talk to you. Just five minutes." Sit her down — and throw it ALL out there. "I know for reasons that are personal to you, that you don't want me here, and perhaps you don't like me. But I truly care about you, and your happiness, and would like to get to know you on YOUR terms, and understand what you need. I just want you to know, I never want to take the place of your Mom, and I will never take away your special time from your Dad. But I'm here to stay, I love your Dad, and I'd like us to be friends. That would mean a lot to me."
Even if the girl rolls her eyes and says Whatever — she will hear Alexa. Somewhere deep inside she was given the message: You are important, and just because you are here part-time, you are in our hearts FULL-Time. I'd really like to get to know you.
In time, the high-schooler will no longer see Alexa as the enemy … a friendship will slowly forge. Trust, which is the hardest part for any kid of divorce, at ANY age, will slowly (baby steps) begin to develop.
Here are my home-made Step-Parenting Rules of the "DIVORCE" Road:
1. If you are out with your kids and your step-kid (s) — and introducing them — never say, "These are MY kids and this is my step-son." Kids hate being reminded of Life-in-Divorce. Always say, "Hi, So and So, these are my kids X, Y, and Z."
2. If you have three daughters — say one is yours/two are his — and you go out shopping — always come home with three items (i.e. shirts) — even if HIS kids are not with you full-time. Leave the clothes on their beds for when they do come over. They may not say anything, or they may not like your taste — BUT they will love the surprise and get the message: You are thinking about them, even when they are not there.
3. All House Rules are the same for ALL the kids living there — no matter if they are there full-time or part-time. There should be no special treatment for the kid doing the Divorce Shlep back and forth. Here's the biggie: A step-kid doesn't want the POWER of special privileges — it's too much pressure, and it is the Big Separator between them and their step-siblings. They want to fit in. If their room is a mess, they don't get to go back to their mom's/dad's house until it's cleaned. KIDS of divorce DO not want to be singled out — that simply serves to remind them that their lives are NOT normal.
4. Another biggie — If you have a step-chid who does not live with you full-time — never treat him/her/them as a GUEST. That's the kiss of death. And no kid likes a Kiss-Ass for a step-parent — it's annoying. Then, they will treat YOU the step-parent as though YOU are the guest. My motto: be open, honest, loving AND firm, when needed.
5. If there are problems between YOUR kids and YOUR Spouse's kids — you and your spouse have to remain a united front. Do NOT create mini alliances within your house. It will never divide and conquer … it will only Divide. If you have a real problem, and it is related to how your spouse is dealing with any of the kids — discuss it privately. Like any good marriage — kids need to know that their parents have an unbreakable bond — kids, especially in a divorce situation, learn from an early age how to "manipulate" their parents — using the GUILT FACTOR to their advantage (it works) — don't let it work.
5. Go to all of your step-children's important events, particularly sports, dance, and school-related activities. Be prepared: They may not acknowledge you. They most likely will run to their biological parents first, but they do see YOU; they feel your presence and support. And they definitely know when you're missing. This is big — your Being There develops the relationship more than you even know. It says — YOU are important to me. I am here for YOU, and that's what matters.
Step-parenting is uber-complicated. Step-parenting a difficult child can be more than challenging — it could keep you up nights, and cause spousal fights. Always remember that it is the kid who is forced (not by choice) to do the "shuffle" — you, the adult, get to stay in one house.
If you take only one piece of advice from me (you know what, take two): No matter the type of child, NEVER GIVE UP. And, NEVER expect the kid to come to you first.
YOU make the moves, even if the moves are initially blocked or shunned. Don't let the initial rejections deter you. If you are loving and nice to your step-children, and you do the Little Things to make them feel special, and do the BIG Things so they don't feel "different" from the way your treat YOUR own kids, it will make all THE difference.
The end-game, I promise, is that you, too, will become a card-carrying member of the "Step-Mommy" or "Step-Daddy" Club — NOT a member of the Step-Monster Society.
LB: For those of you who grew up with step-parents, or those who are now step-parents themselves … GW would love to hear your comments/advice — it will truly benefit all. xoxo

Cori and Campbell got married a couple years ago - a destination wedding... and something awful happened. Their photographer didn't deliver their images... can you imagine? Cori - still heartbroken realized that her 30th birthday would be a great excuse to get her family and friends together again - and recreate some wedding-type images. I was honored when she asked me to fill that role. I took this shoot very seriously and I not only wanted to provide her with great images from her birthday celebration - but also a collection of images that can serve as a testament to the amazing relationship that Cori and Campbell have. This old time carnival themed celebration was nothing shy of amazing. The menu included items like mini cheeseburgers with a glazed doughnut bun (TO DIE FOR), soft pretzels with amazing dipping sauces, and of course - a cotton candy station for the guests. The guest book was an Dr. Seuss book, "If I Ran The Circus" and old movies played on the amazing San Francisco Loft walls (Dumbo.... how cute is that?!?).

Here's what a warning point does:
1. It leaves a record for Security moderators to know why someone was warned in the past, and gives a link to the content they were warned for if it was a post/blog/etc. This is useful for us in getting an at-a-glance concept of whether someone has been in trouble before, how often, and for what type of behavior.
2. It's a quick, easy way of letting someone know that the content they've posted is violating policy (and how). We realize this part is where a lot of the confusion is coming into play and we will be putting out full information for what the stock warnings actually mean soon.
3. That's about it. o__o No, really! They don't stack up, they don't have any particular effect on whether you qualify for a moderator position (not necessarily anyway), certain things don't have a higher point value than others, and they don't effect the Security team's decisions to ban outside of the factors that are considered anyway.
Warning points mean BUNK in the long run. You can have fifty previous warnings and not be banned, or you could be banned with none at all. It's all about your behavior. So DON'T WORRY IF YOU HAVE A WARNING POINT.

Now this is lame
Source (french)
I think that last part is more lame than the bonus disc.
How so? If it could be played on a Wii and you didn't have a DVD player you would end up having to switch between the Help DVD and the game.
And if you think just soaking in the level on the Help Disk and then changing back to the game, there will most likely be spoilers!
No more to the part where a wii can't read dvds. (without homebrew and newer ones have d3-2(?) drives)
This is as good as using guides.But I find the game most fun when it is solved without any help.
But Wii's cannot't read DVD's.LOL nintendo.
Maybe the next Wii will have DVD reading capability.
Or Nintendo will never learn from what they do.
This just means the whole "casual gamer market" thing might be going a bit too far. Now Nintendo is simply indulging the stupidity of these "casual gamers", as most of them are too mentally lazy to even consider figuring out a game more complex than Wii Fit for themselves.
As much as I like Nintendo, a lot of these "casual gamers" sicken me.
2 disks like One Piece Unlimited Cruise or help guide? I vote for the second.
This is complete and absolute bullshit. What's the next step? Selling games with an already completed savefile?
1> No one has heard of WiiMC????? lmfao
2> They should have made it downloadable as a pdf-type file that is viewable through clicking on a wad channel....although it would probably cause the need for a system f/w update to make that possible.
Actually that may mean the game is "too hard" for casuals, meaning MOAR CHALLENGE =P
this gonna be so funny peeps are gonna try and play the disc in their wii than ring up and bitch to Big n when it doesn't work!!
Wow I hope USA gets it too or it like somehow get put on the net I wanna see it lol. it like they already have the super guide now they have a Help Disc....this is why people say the wii/nintendo is kiddie
The DVD WILL be on the net, that's for sure
They already have the Superguide, I don't see the use of another Help disc really...
Unless of course, SMG2 is very hard even for hardcore gamers
The Wii already does.
i'm thinking maybe N will have an update on smg2 that will make the wii able to read dvd and they require you install it. and it will also include some other nasty hidden surprises for homebrew
How do we know this is really a dvd? For all we know this can be a game disc made to act like a dvd that way the wii can read it. Just a menu and a link to the video. That seems highly possible to me.
maybe its both!!! that would be my guess to is that they just made some fancy game disc but it has a bunch of videos on it or that plus if you stick it into a DVD player it would bring up a menu and stuff.

Urban England:Perspectives on Prostitution
In urban England, several understandings of prostitution persisted in the popular culture. These views connected to an underlying political agenda of social reform. On the extreme end of the spectrum, London reporter W.T. Stead published a sensational and provocative series of articles entitled "The Maiden Tribute of Modern Babylon." It was a shocking exposé on the vast industry of sex trafficking that webbed London's underworld, a place where corrupt men violently exploited and enslaved women and children. Bolstering the Social Purity Movement, Stead's article unfurled a social campaign that pushed for political reform and condemned prostitution as a product of aristocratic male vice. On these issues, Stead was a frequent ally of activist Josephine Butler. Both attacked "corrupt male power" (Walkowitz, City of Dreadful Delights, 118) as the driving force of prostitution, which they saw as a social structure of oppression. Butler constructed a highly specific archetype of the prostitute as a "fallen Magdalene," a tragic woman who had become a victim of violent male lust. Butler's typical Magdalene was young, inherently moral, meek, and above all, easily reformed. Stead and Butler's representations of prostitution were narrow and highly politically charged, specifically crafted to support an agenda of feminist social reform.
SCANDALOUS HEADLINES. "The Maiden Tribute of Modern Babylon."
Sex Trafficking in London!
In 1885, W.T. Stead shocked London society with his "Maiden Tribute" article published in the Pall Mall Gazette. Stead was a part of the New Journalism movement, a style that relied on sensational story-telling and investigative techniques. Written as a piece of undercover journalism, "Maiden Tribute" attempted to expose a vast network of organized prostitution in London, describing an industry that regularly employed kidnapping, rape, violence, human trafficking, and the sexual exploitation of children. Provoking scandal, it was meant to shock the world (Ledger, The Fin de Siécle, 34). Stead described prostitution as sex slavery in which women were victims of aristocratic and violent male vice. In an anonymous interview, a brothel keeper explained that there was always a high demand for "fresh girls" (Ledger, 38). The pimp also outlined the various avenues through which victimized girls entered prostitution. First, there was the sale and purchase of children: "Drunken parents often sell their children to brothel keepers" (Ledger, 37). There were also certain instances of "breeding" prostitutes. Since infancy, some girls were born into the trade, "bred and trained for the life" by their prostitute mothers (Ledger, 36). In other cases, male brothel keepers resorted to trickery, disguising themselves and journeying to the country to deceive and procure young virgins. Pretending to court these unsuspecting young women, the pimp would lure them into the city, intoxicate them, and then irreversibly compromise their dignity by bringing them back to his bed at the brothel house. In the morning, the girl had "lost her character and dare[d] not go home," resigning herself to work in the brothel house (Ledger, 37). In other instances, girls were outright kidnapped, drugged, raped, or beaten into submission (Walkowitz, "The Maiden Tribute of Modern Babylon," Spectacular Realities, 81). In another anonymous interview, a brothel keeper nonchalantly confessed selling women to gentlemen. "Anxious to test the truth of his statement," Stead took the role of the undercover investigator and experimentally asked if the brothel keeper could find him several young girls whose virginity could be verified by a doctor. Within two days, the brothel keeper had easily found girls whose parents or pimps were willing to sell (Ledger, 38).
This sensationalist vision of prostitution was largely politically driven. Historian Judith Walkowitz argued that:
Stead used the journalistic innovations of the New Journalism to tell an old story of the seduction of poor girls by vicious aristocrats. Traditionally, this story had been cast in political terms. [Stead] proudly positioned himself in relation to this political tradition as the champion of working people and women. (Walkowitz, 86)
In an opening section of "Maiden Tribute," Stead unabashedly advocated the Criminal Law Amendment, claiming that the horrors of prostitution demanded political reform. The Criminal Law Amendment would raise the age of consent and enact harsher penalties for sexual offenders (Ledger, 33). Sensational and dramatic, Stead's article was a thinly veiled propaganda piece that strategically sent shockwaves throughout society. It portrayed prostitutes as innocent and helpless victims of state-tolerated male violence. The plight of the prostitute represented class exploitation. Male aristocrats' sexual exploitation of the daughters of working class men was seen as "a threat to family hierarchy and an infringement of male-working class prerogatives" (Walkowitz, 86). Stead's shocking depiction of prostitution was a political cry against class exploitation and social inequality.

Would a Floyd Mayweather Jr. beatdown over Conor McGregor be a good or bad thing for boxing? (Radio)Written by Joseph Herron
- font size decrease font size increase font size
- Media
It's currently being reported by several mainstream periodicals that future Hall of Fame prizefighter and self-proclaimed "TBE" Floyd Mayweather Jr. is back in the gym, preparing for his highly anticipated return to the ring. The 40-year-old superstar was allegedly seen earlier this week in a sparring session with an unidentified fighter.
What does this mean?
It could mean that the controversially suggested match-up between Floyd and UFC superstar Conor McGregor is very close to becoming a stark reality.
Would the culmination of May/Mac eventually prove to be a negative or positive for the sport that originally made the athlete formerly known as "PBF" a very wealthy man?
Former opponent and Hall of Fame puncher Oscar De la Hoya genuinely believes the undertaking would undoubtedly be detrimental to the sport's mainstream growth and appeal.
"...If you thought Mayweather/Pacquiao was a black eye for our sport, a matchup between two of the best pound-for-pound fighters that simply didn't deliver, just wait until the best boxer of a generation dismantles someone who has never boxed competitively at any level, amateur or professional," stated boxing's Golden Boy in a recently published press release. "Our sport might not ever recover."
Since DLH's open-letter to the boxing public was released on May 26, many prizefighters and boxing insiders have surprisingly come to the defense of the former pound for pound king, claiming that the fan clamored event would actually provide a push in overall popularity.
On the latest edition of FightSaga Radio, three-decade fight trainer James Gogue shared his thoughts on the hotly debated special event.
"Look, if everyone were talking about Canelo vs. Conor McGregor, Oscar would be pumping it up as if it were the greatest match-up since Ali vs. Foreman," Gogue stated on the Friday edition of FightSaga Radio. "He's just sore that he won't be getting a cut of the proceeds like he enjoyed when he was promoting Floyd's events in the past."
"Was Canelo vs. Chavez Jr. good for the sport? Did that fight live up to its billing? Did fans feel good about spending $70 after twelve rounds of that farce? Oscar really should focus on what he's doing, and stop worrying about what's happening across the street."
Although Gogue agrees the proposed Boxing/UFC match-up is "a farce" and "a colossal mismatch", the insightful trainer and boxing manager makes the claim that a dominant Floyd Mayweather performance could actually be a huge "positive" for sweet science, and consequently silence the sport's longtime detractors.
"If Mayweather goes in there and stretches Conor McGregor, gives him that ass-whooping that everyone expects him to, it could result in a dramatic rise in the positive perception of the sport among mainstream and casual fans, which is what boxing desperately needs right now."
"The uneducated fight fan would finally realize what we within the boxing world have known for a very long time...that Floyd is the most gifted fighter of his generation. Even at 40 years of age and a long stretch of inactivity, Mayweather should be able to have his way with Conor and make him look silly in the ring."
"Boxing could actually experience a resurgence of big-time commercial popularity if people finally started giving these prizefighters more credit for their skill level."
Which opinion will play out most accurately later this year?
Would a mismatch between Floyd and Conor be a long term detriment to the sport of boxing, or a much needed shot-in-the-arm?
Until the proposed event actually materializes, fans and critics alike will have to wait for their projected ripple effect.
Listen to James Gogue and Joseph Herron discuss Mayweather vs McGregor and its implcations for boxing.

Slowdive - Catch the Breeze
Upon reflection, I've decided that shoegazing was (is?) the most coherent and far-reaching rock 'n' roll subgenre since punk rock: a diverse bunch of bands, lots of guitar effects being the only real common denominator, but united in attitude and musical aesthetic. Here's what for me will always be the defining band of the era, represented by this often (unintentionally?) amusing video.
On a similar note, shoegazing is alive and well in the current year, largely thanks to the brilliant A Sunny Day in Glasgow, from Philadelphia. Here's the download from our "friends" at Pitchfork, in case you missed it the first time around.

Sitting in Awe
I have little in the way of words these days, but I do know, my heart is overflowing....
And some days, when the world seems like too much, I look at the men in my life, and thank God for this life.

Today's post is all about Jane Ogren.
Her piece is an ode to her husband a retired Geometry teacher.
Rusted Geometry
She wrote that this quilt was inspired by a store in Pittsburgh, PA, called "Construction Junction", which collects and resells recycled materials. When she needs inspiration she browses through the store...this time a bucket of rusty nails caught her eye and intrigued her.
Jane is a native Pennsylvanian. She has lived the last forty years in the Pittsburgh area. Jane graduated from Edinboro University of PA with a B.S. in art education and an M.Ed from Indiana University of PA. She taught art in several suburban schools. Although retired from teaching Jane has stated, "A part of me feels alive when I work with young people and when I teach. And although teaching and stimulating other people's creativeness takes a tremendous amount of energy it is also very rewarding."
Whole-cloth quilt, cotton canvas, backed with felt, hand-quilted, rusted with old nails, embellished with those same nails and wire.
Jane enjoys the evolution of her work as she problem solves through the entire process deciding on color, texture and design.
Here is Jane's website:
Be sure to look through the galleries. You will be glad you did!

Growing up in New Orleans has provided me with so many memories, wonderful traditions and GREAT food to share with my kids. Oh how I miss home! Now that you have me reminiscing, one of my favorite first day of school traditions and memories were the afternoon rides home on the St. Charles street car heading to Cafe du Monde, located in Jackson Square. For those of you not familiar, Cafe Du Monde is famous for their chicory coffee and beignets, a square french raised donut served warm and piled high with powdered sugar. Coffee of course not and option for us kids but the adults made sure they indulged. We had milk instead and for the record, milk goes great with these yummy powered treats.
My kids started school earlier this week and I wanted to keep with up tradition so I surprised them with a nice warm treat once they returned home. The great thing about beignets are that they are a perfect anytime snack. They are great for breakfast or just about anytime of the day or night. You should definitely give these a try. They are easy to make, and will practically melt in your mouth. Serve with milk or a steaming cup of coffee au lait and you will have yourself a delicious mouthwatering delight.
New Orleans Beignets
3/4 cup water, very warm
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla (optional)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter or shortening
1 envelope dry yeast
1 egg, beaten
3 1/2 cups of flour
1/2 cup evaporated milk
oil for deep frying (vegetable or peanut oil)
powdered sugar
In large bowl or mixer with dough hook, add sugar, yeast and warm water. Stir briefly to mix, and let sit for 5 minutes.
Add two cups of flour, salt, evaporated milk, salt, and beaten egg and mix well. Mix in shortening or butter. Add balance of flour and mix until sticky dough forms into a ball. Add additional flour, if needed, in 1/4 cups increments.
Transfer dough to floured board and knead briefly and form into ball. Transfer to greased bowl, and turn over. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for an hour. (Another option is to cover and refrigerate overnight). Roll out dough to about 1 inch in thickness, and slice douhg into two inch squares, or triangular shapes.
Tip: Let the dough hook knead the dough for about 5 minutes which greatly decreases the time hand-kneading is require.
Heat oil in a skillet to 375 degrees. Fry squares, a few at a time, until golden brown on both sides. Monitor frying closely as they will cook really quick with the correct temperature. With a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels to drain.
Place on plate and sprinkle LIBERALLY with powdered sugar. Serve Hot.

Terminal and its use for Mac OS X
Every year the number of switchers is growing. And on the Mac do not just go with Windows, very often the transition from Unix.
And if most Unix users, accustomed to console commands, work with the terminal in Mac OS X does not cause any discomfort, then for migrants with Windows the situation looks somewhat different.
Most of these users rarely use the capabilities of the Unix kernel, without seeing any need for it.
Naturally, such a user can do without a terminal, but knowing at least the basic commands in some situations can greatly facilitate the life of any owner of a computer running Mac OS X, and someone will simply help expand his horizons and better understand his chosen operating system.
Given that this small survey is aimed at people who have never before had even minimal experience with Unix-like systems, we will start from the very beginning, gradually moving from simple to complex.
First of all, it's worth mentioning the main team for any person who does not feel very confident when seeing the command line: man . This is a reference. Adding the name of the command you need to man, you will get enough information about it. For example, type man man, and you will see in the terminal more complete documentation for this command.
Yes, it is worth noting that most of the commands in Unux systems that do not require the output of information to the user, in the case of its successful completion, do not show anything at all. In cases where the purpose of the command is not to output information - only errors and warnings about violation of the normal execution of the command are displayed on the screen.
Navigation Basics
command cd . One of the main commands that allow you to navigate through different directories. If you open the terminal, you immediately want to be in a certain directory, say, in Documents, just type in the terminal cd Documents.
cd ~ command, with which you go to your directory. For example, if you decide to go to the directory where your documents are located, the following command will look like this: cd ~ / Documents.
cd - allows you to return to the previous directory.
cd .. allows you to go to the parent directory.
ls displays a list of file names in the specified directory
ls -f shows files with their extension.
ls -a lists all files, including hidden files.
ls -lo except for enumeration of existing files also shows their access rights and the date of their creation. If you want only files beginning with a certain letter, for example, with Z, to be listed, type ls Z *. Keep in mind that the command is case sensitive, and if some files have an uppercase Z in the beginning, and you typed a regular z, you simply will not see them.
mkdir creates a new directory. For example: typing the command: mkdir new, you will create a new directory with the name new.
rm delete the file.
rmdir remove the directory.
rm new.txt : the command will delete the file new.txt
rmdir new - removes the directory named new.
If you want to delete a directory that is not empty, you must either delete all of its contents at the beginning, or use the rm -R command
rm -R new : deletes the new directory with all its contents.
clear clears the terminal screen. In principle, sometimes it is quite easy to make a "right click" on the terminal window and select Clear Scrollback from the context menu.
script - allows you to save all typed characters into a text file. In practice, an extremely convenient option that allows you to get the complete protocol of your entire session. The file will also indicate its exact date and time.
Script done on Sat Feb 10 18:21:32 2007
The file will be saved with the name typescript in your home directory.
bc - a command that displays the simplest console calculator on the terminal screen.
df is a simple command that will show you the amount of your disk space, including network drives.
du is a list of all the folders on your system partition.
Copying files and folders is done using the cp command. Let's say you want to copy a note.txt file from the desktop to the Documents directory. In this case, you will need to type in the terminal cp note.txt ~ / Documents
It should be noted that if a file with the same name exists in a new location, it will be deleted and replaced with a copied file without any warnings and recovery options.
If you want to not only copy the file, but copy and save it with a new name (for example, take the new name as new.txt), then the required command will look like this: cp note.txt ~ / Documents / new. txt . And in your folder there will be a file new.txt, which is a copy of the note.txt file from the desktop.
In order to copy the desired file to the source directory, but with a new name, just type cp note.txt new.txt
cp -R Documents "Documents backup" - the command by which you save a backup copy of your entire Documents directory. Quotes are needed, since there is a space in the directory name.
sudo cp -Rp / Users "/ Users backup" - the command allows to copy the entire directory / Users (including all home folders inside), while preserving as much file information as possible (belonging, rights, etc., but not a branch resource) with the name Users backup. You must run this command from under the administrator account, so, in this example, sudo is used, which allows you to get temporary access as root. If you are running a command from a user account, you are prompted for the administrator password.
ditto allows you to copy a directory, but with the preservation of the attributes of hidden files.
ditto Documents "Documents backup" copies the entire directory as "Documents" and names a copy of the "Documents backup" directory.
mv - renaming files. For example, typing in the terminal mv new old, you rename the file or directory with the name new in old. And the following command: mv old ~ / Documents - you move it from the current directory to your Documents directory.
find - search for files that match your criteria.
find / -name (filename without brackets): the command will search for the file you need throughout the entire file structure, including all mounted disks (including network drives) and displays the full path to it.
find -x / -name (filename without brackets): the same, but the search will be done exclusively on the boot disk of your system.
find. -name '* filename *' : (with saving the specified syntax) - the search will be performed in the current directory and all its subdirectories.
find. -mtime - (here the number you need, enter without brackets) : this command, like the previous one, searches the current directory and all its subdirectories, but its difference is that, for example, specifying the number 3 (find. -mtime -3) the command will give you all the files that have been changed in the last three days. Specifying 0, the command will find only those files whose date has been changed.
ps -x command that outputs the list of processes of the current user in the terminal.
ps -ax shows a list of all processes
ps - aux shows a list of all processes currently running on the system, as well as additional information about them, including processor load, time, etc.
top provides a list of the main processes involved and constantly updated information about them. Load on the processor, the size of the memory involved, time, etc.
top -us5 is the same, but with the sorting of processes, by the amount of their load on the processor.
kill - a command that "kills" a hung process or sends a signal to it.
sync - a command that forces the contents of the disk cache to be written to the hard disk.
Example: type in the terminal command top, in the list of processes that appears, we select the necessary, say, process 2200, (in my case it turned out to be absolutely unnecessary to me AppleSpell), press Q to exit the menu - and after kill 2200. Once again type top - and make sure , that the more mentioned 2200th process no longer appears in the list of running processes.
lsof is a command that shows a list of open files on your system and files currently accessed by application programs, for example, if you have a torrent client running, the command will show even the files that you are downloading at the moment, or distribute. Naturally, to see the full list, you need to have administrator rights.
sudo lsof - a list of open files, including the entire system. An administrator password is required.
Finally, the sudo lsof -i command is a command that allows you to see all the open network connections on your system.
Work with text
pico and nano are the simplest text editors for the terminal. Quite bounded in the functional. To exit pico or nano, press CTRL + X
more or less - displays the contents of a text file one page at a time. To go to the next, press the spacebar. It does not work with Word, PDF, RTF documents and any files other than txt format.
emacs - GNU Emacs is a fairly advanced editor, developed under the X Window and losing some of its functionality when running in the terminal. But despite this, allows you to see several files at the same time, move the text between files and edit while running shell commands. The program, which deserves a separate review, so here we will not dwell on the nuances of its configuration and use.
diskutil displays a list of all possible commands for operations with your hard disk. From simply viewing the diskutil list command to operations such as mounting partitions, fixing all the familiar "permishons" or format. Put simply, before you all the options (in fact, even more) are already familiar to you Disk Utility with the difference that all the actions you perform through the command line interface. Here is an example of just a few commands offered to you by diskutil
diskutil resizeVolume allows you to resize the selected partition
diskutil partitionDisk allows you to perform operations on the disk and its individual sections. Formatting, selecting a file system, etc.
diskutil eraseDisk erases the information from your hard drive.
diskutil info / displays information about the boot partition of your disk. Its name, the type of file system, the total size, the amount of total and free space,
diskutil info / Volumes / here the name of the partition is the same, but for any other mounted, but non-boot partition of your hard drive.
sudo diskutil repairPermissions / another command for "fixing the perm" on the boot disk from your MacOS X. When executing it, you will be prompted to enter the administrator password.
sudo passwd root - a command that you may need only in one case - if you forgot the root password, the administrator password.
reboot - restart computer
shutdown -h now - a command that turns off your computer without time delay and unnecessary questions.
(The last two commands are executed solely from under the administrator account.)
Of course, few users use the terminal's capabilities in everyday life. For some it seems an ancient and outdated anachronism, someone is repelled by the need to memorize a fairly large list of necessary commands, at a time when most of the required tasks can be performed using a conventional mouse. But once you start working with the terminal, you yourself will quickly appreciate the opportunities that it provides to you.

Injury ends Speight's career on disappointing note
Unfortunately Todd Speight's collegiate career didn't end the way he had hoped because of an injury, but the Southeast grad still accomplished a lot.
Speight suffered an abdominal injury and missed all but one game of the final half of the season for Western Illinois. He is not able to redshirt.
The 5-8, 165 pounder was a pre-season first team All Missouri Valley Conference Football Conference pick and Honorable Mention All-American. As a junior, he was a first team all conference and WIU's Special Teams Player of The Year.
This season he was only able to return seven punts and 12 kickoffs, but led his team in average return yardage (9.7 per punt/20.2 per kickoff).
Three of his high school teammates from Southeast had good seasons: Kieron James had an interception in a post season victory against Coastal Carolina and a combination of 15 pass deflections/breakups for the season; Sophomore receiver Charles Chestnut caught 18 passes for 222 yards (12.3 avg) and junior offensive lineman Enock Presendieu was a regular starter and one of the leaders in a run game that averaged close to 200 yards rushing per game.

We have been so busy for the past few days. Just like our older friends, we started preparation for the annual art show.
We were going to make our art by layering different colors of paint.
Morah gave us two canvases.
Our work started with painting the primary layer. Each of us got different color of paint to make a unique piece of art.
Everyone chose a different way of how to start. Some of us decided to use a paint brush….
… some of us preferred to use our little hands and fingers.
No matter what technique we used, we were amazed that our moves caused marks on our canvaces.
The next step was adding another layer of colors to our canvases by using different tools.
By using the car toy we made nice lines and patterns.
A pompom dipped in paint made round shapes.
We used even a ball to create circles on our art.
We were so excited to see that our movements can create art.
We were so proud of our work. We learned that you can make art by using many different things. You can create any picture by using any tool and imagination.
Look what we have created!

Village & History
Montgenèvre is a small village and resort situated at 1,850m on the French side of the expansive Milky Way ski area. In comparison to many other areas it has a great snow record, remains very reasonably priced, and has convenient ski to your door slope accessibility.
Montgenèvre remains less known than other ski areas and therefore often quieter during the peak periods. The best time to visit Montgenèvre is during the week, when queues are non-existent.
The Ski resort of Montgenèvre dates from 1907. In February 2007 the birth of France's eldest winter sport resort was marked by the village's organisation of the first International ski competition, celebrating 100 years of high society sports events and an evolution which have been celebrated with pride all throughout last winter season.
The ski resort has an attractive village lined on either side by Alpine forests and compactly organised. Its stone buildings are clustered around a small church, and the atmosphere is both traditional and cheerful. Montgenèvre is more than just winter and summer sports and boasts many historical landmarks.
Destroyed during the fire started by the Duke of Savoie's troups, then rebuilt during the 18th century, its architecture is of typical Italian inspiration. The characteristic church tower with its "fanal" is the exact copy of the oil lamp hung up to the original bracket which guided the lost travellers in the fog or in snow storms.
The restoration of its 19th century frescos was achieved in December 2005.The church has also been restored in 2006.
The "Obélisque Napoléon"
Built at the limit between Italy and France to celebrate the end of the work done on the Montgenèvre road, and raised in honour of Napoleon, it was inaugurated in 1804.
"Notre dame des Sept douleurs" chapel
In this restored chapel (in 1996), an engraved stone (from 1780) can be seen on the wall. The Santiago shell painted above the entrance door honours Santiago for his travel to Compostella. (Montgenèvre being on the route of his pilgrimage).
Another chapel recently restored is the St Anne chapel to the entrance of the village, on the Italian side and St Roch chapel, along the ancient Roman way.
Historical Forts:
Montgenèvre due to its history and location is surrounded by numerous forts.
Located on the border between France and Italy, Montgenèvre has witnessed many conflicts. To defend itself and watch over the boarders, different forts have been built around Montgenèvre.
The most noticeable of all is without any doubt the FORT DU CHABERTON, also named the "fort des Nuages" (the forts of the clouds).
Culminating at 3135 meters, with both a French and an Italian aspect, it's one of the highest forts in Europe.
Built between 1900 and 1914, the summit had to be mined to make it 6 meters smaller. Over 300 workers were needed to build this technical and complex fort.
There are 8 turrets making up the visible part of the building, however the majority of the fort remains subterranean.
On 10 June 1940, Mussolini declared war on France and on 21 June the French troops posted in the surrounding forts bombed Chaberton and its resident 320 men.
In 1957, the fort was emptied of all its weapons and now remains the highlight climb for many hikers.
The FORT DES GONDRANS, built from the 19th century onwards, is a group of batteries and blockhouses meant to defend the heights of Briançon from the Anges pass.
The FORT DU JANUS was built between 1886 and 1903 on the Janus mountain.
A subterranean building more than 900 meters long which extends the Ligne Maginot, was added between 1931 and 1937.
During summer a visit to the fort is organized once every 2 weeks.
First International ski competition held in Montgenevre in 1907.
Montgenevre in the early 20th century -still predominantly an agricultural community.

In this video segments from Nature, filmmaker Ginger Kathrens chronicles the life of Cloud who is now a two-year-old bachelor (a male horse who has not mated) living in a group of wild horses in the Arrowhead Mountains of southern Montana. Family is important to horses, and this group of bachelors' behaviors shows evidence of the camaraderie that can exist among a bonded group of horses. The playful, gentle interactions not only communicate trust and security among members of the group but also act as practice for more adult behaviors.

This is a perfect location for a super restful and relaxing get away. The house is very well kept, has a full kitchen, comfortable beds and bedding, nice heating and cooling system, hot tub, satellite tv... The property owner was very professional, friendly and helpful. She is very responsive to questions and was quite a pleasure to work with.
This house is secluded. The driveway runs on past this house, as I believe there is one property further down the driveway, but this in no way disturbed our quiet weekend. There is a back deck, facing the forest that we found very inviting, and down below is the hot tub, which is accessible from the basement door. We had a lovely time, left feeling relaxed and renewed and looking forward to next year's Annual HomeAway Wedding Anniversary Get-A-Way! Thanks for a wonderful stay!
Great place to find peace and quiet and enjoy the wonderful surroundings. Plenty of room for us and very comfortable.
It would have been even better if the roads leading to the cabin were in better shape.
Driveway a little rough for motorcycles but manageable.
My family and I visited this location over Easter break. There are six of us (2 adults and 4 kids), and the house slept 6 perfectly. There is plenty of space inside (2 bedrooms, living room, kitchen, dining room, two bathrooms, large basement, back deck, etc.). The house was very clean, the beds were extremely comfortable, and we experienced no issues with accommodations. There is a hot tub outside of the basement door. It was enjoyable, though at the time of our visit, the water was not clear.
If you aren't sure by the description, this cabin IS in the middle of nowhere. That's exactly what we had hoped to find. There was minimal to no cell reception for us (we have AT&T). There is a land line for emergencies but no internet connection (this is written in the description and is very accurate). Instructions from the host were great. She stayed in constant contact with us leading up to and during our travels. She also left chocolate Easter bunnies for our kids to help us celebrate, which was extremely thoughtful!
If selecting to stay at this location, which we recommend, take everything with you that you'll need for your trip. It is easily 30 minutes to get to the nearest store (or gas station) and the roads are tricky, narrow, and windy. The town offers a great cavern to check out and has cute shops and restaurants as well.
We are looking forward to staying again in the future!
Enjoyed our stay. Used the grill. Had all the necessities. Would have been nice to have wifi.
Had a great time, we were there on our brothers annual motorcycle ride. We were meet upon arrival by the caretaker and showed around. All linen and towels were provided. The hottub was great to come back to after a long day's ride. The countryside is beautiful and remote. Everything was clean and well maintained. Great communications with the owner, everything was covered in advance. Easy payment arrangement for security deposit. Thank You
My college girlfriends and I meet for our annual girls weekend at this cabin. The cabin is great and the surroundings are beautiful. We saw deer a couple of the mornings. We enjoyed the hot tub each night and were pleased that it is under the cover of the porch so the rain didn't stop us from enjoying it. I will say the cabin is definitely tucked away and about 30-40 minutes to Lewisburg. This is what gives it such peace and great surroundings. We would leave in the morning and come back late afternoon and fix dinner at the cabin. You won't want to be going back and forth.
NEWER LISTING! Now, 2 homes available for extra large groups for sleeping 18 (see other property ID # 350752), Get your discount on booking both! Each home nestled in the forest, perched high on a mountain top, but enough distance between both for total privacy, seclusion and relaxation.

The votes are in. At a celebrity-studded televised ceremony, seven "new" wonders of the world were crowned. The Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal in India, the Coliseum of Rome, the pink ruins of Petra in Jordan, the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, the Incan ruins of Machu Picchu in Peru, and the Mayan city of Chichen Itza in Mexico got the most votes and are now the Seven Wonders of the World. (Note: The Pyramids of Egypt, the only one of the orginal Seven Wonders still standing today, is given Wonder statues and was ruled out of the contest.)
In the age of American Idol, a private Swiss foundation launched the contest in January, allowing Internet and telephone voters to choose between 21 short-listed sites. Over 100 million votes were casted by the end of polling. Those sites who didn't make it include the Acropolis in Greece, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Angkor Wat temples in Cambodia, the Statue of Liberty of America and Britain's Stonehenge.
Now, will anyone really believe them to be the 'Seven Wonders of the World'? I mean since when did culture become a voting contest. Now everyone has their own idea on which site is a 'Wonder' and which sites isn't; which sites should be on the list (Angkor Wat temples, cough); which sites shouldn't be on the list (pink Petra?); so I won't go into that, but shouldn't the Seven Wonders be selected by some experts. By Internet voting, it means that even I can say vote 1000 times for the Great Wall. And I have never been to any of these sites!
The Swiss foundation that launched the contest meant well, but they should not have went American Idol on the selection process. It just make a mockery of the orginal Seven Wonders. I wonder how many of those people who voted has exactly went to all the 21 short-listed sites. I will be mightly surpised if the number go past 5!

M2D draws upon a network of the industry's top professionals for specific expertise such as medics, PharmDs and EU QPPVs.
Timothy is a 20-year senior business leader with the expertise, passion and global reputation for helping organizations plan for, reach and exceed targets. He is an accomplished "client-partner" style team-builder who takes pride in fostering strong and enduring relationships.
Timothy made a career transition to PV and MA after a successful career on the commercial side of the business. Enthusiasm for PV, MA and R&D developed after being afforded opportunities to work on commercial bridge programs. GPV and GMA have evolved into a focused specialty and strength.
Timothy currently provides consulting and solutions to the bio-pharmaceuticals, medical device and healthcare industries, top US and international management consulting firms and Wall Street analysts. He is also a board member of IronNimbus, Inc., a US-based medical information long-term storage and business continuity platform built in a former underground nuclear bunker just outside of Houston, TX.
Timothy has led projects as large as $10 million (USD) for blue chip pharmaceutical companies and has solid experience leading both small and large, 1500+ organizations. His current work in pharmacovigilance resourcing, modeling and worldwide Drug Safety Officer management has garnered him worldwide recognition from global top consultancies.
Early Career
Timothy's career began as a pharmaceutical sales rep and progressed to district and regional sales management. Timothy earned the status of being the #1 rep in the country for G.D. Searle two years in a row including the #1 Rookie rep in 1995. Of the products he was responsible for promoting, he was continuously ranked between #1 and #3 in the nation.

His experience includes the "Big-C" brands; the launch of Celebrex (Now Pfizer), Cipro (Bayer) and Claritin/Clarinex (Schering-Plough/Merck). He has also managed various size brands in smaller organizations including those in niche and specialty markets.
Our Approach
We employ strategic mapping methodologies from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management and Lean Six Sigma tools.
Whether you engage us for pharmacovigilance or medical affairs transformations, we utilize pragmatic approaches to identifying "ground truth" to assess where you are today ("R" state). Once paired with management vision and organizational objectives, we are enabled to develop a comprehensive plan to help you get to where you need to be ("2B" state).
But the secret sauce is in the approach to change management. This is often overlooked by executive teams or confused with simple communication plans. This is only a fraction of change management. We employ Prosci methods since they are simple, organized, and effect the most impactful behavioral change in the shortest period of time.
