Day 2 – Took a look at the recipe. It looks very detailed and I suspect that it can be broken down so that some of it can be done ahead before the final putting-it-all-together day. Sounds kinda exciting!
Day 3 – Talked it over with Sweetie. We agreed that we're not big hazelnut fans, so I'll come up with another filling flavor.
Day 4 – Went online and found the website for the flavored creamer with the hazelnuts called for in Martha Stewart's recipe…that's the one we are supposed to use for the challenge. Turns out there are other flavors. I kind of like the chocolate raspberry flavor…wonder if I can find it at the store.
Day 7 – Bought the chocolate, boxes of butter, eggs, lots of heavy cream, and the chocolate raspberry non-dairy creamer. This recipe will be hell on the arteries, but I'll just have a tiny piece, right? Suuuure.
Day 9 – Served some of the non-dairy chocolate raspberry creamer at breakfast for a crowd. No one used any. Hmmm. I smelled it. Nope, I'm not going to use it either. It smells artificial and chemical. I'll figure out another way to get the raspberry flavor. Out with the noxious stuff.
Day 12 – The reports on the crepes are a little scary. It seems that this recipe makes a delicate crepe that is difficult to flip, plus it might get rubbery after standing. Oh, boy. Guess I better allow time to experiment with the crepe cooking.
Day 15 – Finally have time to make the crepe batter. I decide to add the water to the egg mixture instead of to the chocolate mixture. I also decide to melt the butter and chocolate in the microwave like I do for truffle ganache. I use the food processor to chop the chocolate (from Trader Joe's) up fine and it mixes together with the butter like a charm. The batter looks O.K. Into the fridge.
Day17 – Well, the batter is well chilled, hehe, but today was the first time I could spend the needed time to work on the crepes. First off I tried a seasoned cast iron small frying pan with butter. A disaster. No crepes survived the process, mostly tearing when I tried to turn them. Then I tried a similar size non-stick pan. Slightly better, but still no crepe that I can use for a cake. They taste pretty good, so if I ever get any that can be stacked, the cake should taste good although it may look strange.
Sweetie heard me cursing and banging things in the kitchen and took over the stove. He used a larger non-stick pan. At first his didn't work, either. Then he managed to flip them correctly, but the crepe was slightly burned. No butter and lower heat, plus two spatulas seemed to work. I stood ready with waxed paper squares to put between each crepe and the next, then, eventually learned how to make the crepes.
(The waxed paper helped, but some still stuck to the paper and tore when I got around to stacking them with the filling, so I'm glad I made lots of extra crepes and decided to do a mini-cake about 5 inches in diameter, rather than a full sized cake.)
Wrapped everything up airtight and it all went into the fridge.
Day 22 – Time to try out the filling. I followed the recipe except that I used some juice drained from a package of frozen raspberries, plus a tablespoon of half and half instead of the same amount of the hazelnut cream. I've never made this kind of butter cream before, but it was really easy as long as I followed the directions. I'll make it again when I need an easy to handle and really delicious filling, except that I would reduce the salt quite a bit next time. Didn't anyone at Martha's kitchen test the recipes first?
Once the filling was ready, I began to stack the cake. The filling was easy to use and the crepes were mostly the same size. It went quickly and the stack only listed to the side slightly when done. I wrapped the crepe stack tightly and put it in the fridge.
Day 24 – Here's hoping that the crepes haven't gone stale, but it takes time to do even part of a recipe like this. And more time to wash up all the pots, pans, bowls, spoons, spatulas, racks, etc. that are needed. First off I decided to do the Candied Nuts.
This is another skill I've wanted to try and it really was fun. Unfortunately it takes a remarkably short time for the sugar mixture to go from lightly colored to dark amber. I saw that I'd overcooked it and promptly poured the mixture into a Pyrex measuring cup to stop the cooking. The nuts were on their skewers, almonds instead of hazelnuts, and at first the candy didn't drip off correctly, but I played with it and soon had lovely candied almonds with wispy top knots. Then I dipped the tines of a fork into the candy and made fun threads of spun sugar on some waxed paper. They made a complementary decoration for the top of the cake. It was fun getting advice from some of the other Daring Bakers. One suggestion was to make the sugar decorations so that the extra drips went onto the open dishwasher door. Close it and run the dishwasher & cleanup is easy!
The last part of the cake was the Chocolate Glaze. It's basically a ganache. Since I had experienced the over-salting of the filling, I reduced the salt to ¼ teaspoon, but otherwise followed the recipe. It makes a shiny, delicious topping, although I did have some trouble making it stick on the sides where filling was present. Back into the refrigerator to chill, and then time to decorate with the nuts and spun sugar. I used some of the glaze to act as glue to put the candied nuts on top. Time for photos!
Once sliced, you can see all of the layers of crepe and filling which is quite pretty. My resident tasters declared it a good cake, especially the filling. One comment was that the crepe itself didn't have enough flavor to stand up to the filling and glaze. I look at it as a bunch of crepes that are needed to hold the filling and glaze together. We had the first pieces of cake for lunch since dinner was to be early. Despite my knowledge of all the rich ingredients, when a second piece was offered that night, I accepted and enjoyed the fruits of my labor.
Today – Along with most of the rest of the Daring Bakers, I'm posting my Crepe Cake for you to enjoy.
If you are going to make it, I recommend using less salt everywhere and making the smaller version. The crepes are a bit easier to handle, you can probably halve the recipes, and you'll have just the right sized pieces when you have that second serving.
Darkest Chocolate Crepe Cake
3/4 Cup (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces, plus melted for pan
8 Ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 1/2 Cups all-purpose flour
1/3 Cup sugar
1/2 Teaspoon salt
2 1/2 Cups whole milk, room temperature
6 large eggs, room temperature
1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Bring 1/4 cup water to a rolling boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add butter, 1 piece at a time, whisking to combine after each addition. Remove from heat; stir in chocolate until completely melted. Set aside.
Whisk together flour, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together milk, eggs, and vanilla in another medium bowl. Gradually add milk mixture to flour mixture, whisking until smooth. Add chocolate-butter mixture, whisking until smooth. Pour through a fine sieve into an airtight container; discard lumps. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
Lightly coat an 8-inch crepe pan or nonstick skillet with melted butter. Heat over medium heat until just starting to smoke. Remove pan from heat; pour about 2 tablespoons batter into pan, swirling to cover bottom. Reduce heat to medium-low; return pan to heat. Cook, flipping once, until edges are golden and center is dry, about 30 seconds per side.
Slide crepe onto a plate. Repeat process with remaining batter, coating pan with butter as needed. Crepes can be refrigerated, covered, up to 1 day.
Place a crepe on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Spread with about 3 tablespoons hazelnut filling. Top with another crepe. Continue layering with hazelnut filling and crepes, using about 32 crepes and ending with a crepe on top. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
Spoon 1/2 cup glaze on top of the cake, spreading to edges. Spread remaining glaze around sides of cake, coating completely. Refrigerate until glaze is firm and set, about 20 minutes. Cake can be refrigerated up to 3 days. Garnish with toasted and candied hazelnuts.
Hazelnut Filling
Serving: Makes about 8 cups
2/3 Cup heavy cream
6 large egg whites
1 2/3 Cups sugar
1 3/4 Cups (3 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into pieces, softened
1 Teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 Cup hazelnut cream, (available from Whole Foods Market, www.wholefoods.com)
1 salt (I recommend much less salt)
Put cream into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment; beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Refrigerate 1 hour.
Whisk egg whites and sugar in the clean bowl of mixer set over a pan of simmering water until sugar has dissolved and mixture registers 160 degrees;, 2 to 3 minutes.
Attach bowl to mixer fitted with the clean whisk attachment; beat on high speed until slightly cooled and stiff (but not dry) peaks form, about 5 minutes.
Fit mixer with paddle attachment. With mixer on medium-low speed, add butter, several pieces at a time, mixing well after each addition (meringue will deflate slightly as butter is added). Add vanilla, hazelnut cream, and salt; mix until mixture comes together, 3 to 5 minutes. Fold in whipped cream with a rubber spatula. Use immediately.
Chocolate Glaze
Serving: Makes about 2 cups
1 1/4 Cups heavy cream
1 Tablespoon light corn syrup
1 salt (less salt here, too)
10 Ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
Bring cream, corn syrup, and salt to a boil in a medium, heavy saucepan over medium- medium-high heat. Remove from heat. Add chocolate; swirl pan to cover completely with cream. Let stand about 5 minutes. Stir until smooth. Let cool completely.
Candied Hazelnuts
Serving: Makes 9
9 hazelnuts, toasted and peeled
1 Cup sugar
Thread each hazelnut onto tip of a long wooden skewer; set aside. Place a cutting board along the edge of a countertop; set a baking sheet on floor next to edge.
Cook sugar and 1/4 cup water in a medium, heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved. Continue to cook, without stirring, until syrup comes to a boil, washing down sides with a wet brush to prevent crystals from forming. Let boil until syrup turns light amber, about 5 minutes; remove from heat. Let stand until slightly cooled, 8 to 10 minutes.
Dip 1 skewered hazelnut into syrup, coating completely and letting excess syrup drip back into pan. When dripping syrup becomes a thin string, secure end of skewer under cutting board, letting caramel string drip over edge onto sheet. Repeat with remaining hazelnuts. Let stand until caramel has hardened, about 5 minutes. Break strings to about 4 inches. Carefully remove skewers.

The XRefreshKeyboardMapping function refreshes the stored modifier and keymap information. You usually call this function when a MappingNotify event with a request member of MappingKeyboard or MappingModifier occurs. The result is to update Xlib's knowledge of the keyboard.
The XLookupString function translates a key event to a KeySym and a string. The KeySym is obtained by using the standard interpretation of the Shift, Lock, group, and numlock modifiers as defined in the X Protocol specification. If the KeySym has been rebound (see XRebindKeysym), the bound string will be stored in the buffer. Otherwise, the KeySym is mapped, if possible, to an ISO Latin-1 character or (if the Control modifier is on) to an ASCII control character, and that character is stored in the buffer. XLookupString returns the number of characters that are stored in the buffer.
If present (non-NULL), the XComposeStatus structure records the state, which is private to Xlib, that needs preservation across calls to XLookupString to implement compose processing. The creation of XComposeStatus structures is implementation-dependent; a portable program must pass NULL for this argument.
The XRebindKeysym function can be used to rebind the meaning of a KeySym for the client. It does not redefine any key in the X server but merely provides an easy way for long strings to be attached to keys. XLookupString returns this string when the appropriate set of modifier keys are pressed and when the KeySym would have been used for the translation. No text conversions are performed; the client is responsible for supplying appropriately encoded strings. Note that you can rebind a KeySym that may not exist.

Let us assume I gave a seminar. I would tell the audience about my latest results on the population history of the pigmy shrew. My findings would be based on a stretch of DNA comprising several metabolic genes, showing no signs of genetic recombination. Armed with sequences from a large number of individuals sampled over a broad geographical area, I would make some inference on the colonization routes and times. To make life easier, I would restrict my analysis to the mutations I liked best, with nice names having been given to related sequences, rather than relying on dull mathematical quantities. As I reach one of the key conclusions of the lecture, which would go as follows: 'It is obvious from the distribution of haplotypes Amanda, Eugenie* and Hector_2 that the Outer Hebrides were colonised about 50,000 years ago, this was followed by considerable population fluctuations, a bottleneck during the last Ice Age, a swift recovery and a dramatic recent expansion over the last 200 years and...'. Imagine that, at that climactic stage I was interrupted by someone in the audience. The impertinent would say, 'Sir, can I just ask you whether this confidence in your conclusions may not be misplaced; your analysis is based on a single genetic marker, which comprises genes with a central role in metabolism and is thus likely to have been affected by natural selection'. An awkward silence may ensue, as I would find it difficult to dismiss this criticism easily.
Despite mitochondrial sequence variation covarying with climate in humans (Balloux et al., 2009), there are better ways to measure temperature. And, I would argue there are also better genetic markers than mtDNA to infer past population history. I fully appreciate that mtDNA has given us some of the most fundamental results on human evolution at a time when using mtDNA was the only realistic option at hand. I do not question the value of mtDNA in forensics and pedigree reconstruction. It is also likely to remain a valuable tool for inference at a localized geographical scale, particularly when testing specific hypotheses rather than making quantitative inferences on the age or size of the populations studied. It is convenient to type and analyse, and its use in humans raises no serious ethical or societal issue. But all these qualities do not counterbalance the fact that a single locus likely to be under selection is inappropriate for population inference at large geographical scales (or over long periods of time in the context of ancient DNA analysis). We have reached an era in which publicly available data sets of large numbers of complete human genomes are a tangible prospect, and I believe it is now time to move on from the excessive reliance on uniparental markers. Exploiting these new resources of autosomal variation will present significant challenges, but it will not help overcoming them if a large fraction of the community of human population biologists persists in sticking to mtDNA as the marker of choice.
John Hawks also comments at length on the paper. An excerpt:
So what can we do? Fortunately we have lots of options. We can test the proposed demographic hypotheses against the historical record. When we make observations that show that people 1000 years ago had very different frequencies of common haplotypes, well, we know it was selection. There hasn't been any genetically significant bottleneck in the last 1000 years! When we see small Neolithic population samples dominated by haplotypes that are very rare today, again, no historically possible bottleneck could have caused that.I am fundamentally in agreement that bottlenecks, so often invoked in the mtDNA literature, are really a non-issue. Consider why this is the case: every mtDNA paper normally takes a random sample of a few tens or hundreds of people from a population that usually numbers in the thousands or millions. The assumption is that such a small random sample generally preserves -within confidence limits- the haplogroup frequencies in the population. But a bottleneck is exactly such a random sample. You can't, at the same time, use a sample of 100 people to infer haplogroup frequencies, and claim that a bottleneck that reduces the population to a 100 people will radically shift haplogroup frequencies. And, of course, there is absolutely no evidence that any major post-Neolithic human population, save for the Andaman Islanders, the Samaritans, or various such populations ever underwent a bottleneck anywhere near that severity.

New page
{{NavHeader|back=Control Panel|forward=About}}</noinclude>
{{note|icon64=This page is for EasyPBI version 2.0 and later, which was introduced after PC-BSD® 9.1. {{local|link=EasyPBI}} explains the 9.1 version of EasyPBI. Since this version adds many features, users are encouraged to install version 2 as described in the next section.}}
EasyPBI is a graphical application that makes it easy to build a PBI module from a FreeBSD port. EasyPBI version 2 ships with PC-BSD® rolling releases and can be found in the Control Panel. If you are running PC-BSD® 9.1-RELEASE, the EasyPBI found in the control panel is for the original version. You can upgrade this version following the instructions in the next section.
== Getting EasyPBI Version 2 ==
If you are running a release later than PC-BSD® 9.1-RELEASE, you already have EasyPBI version 2. You can verify this by going to Control Panel{{rarr}}EasyPBI{{rarr}}Information{{rarr}}About EasyPBI.
If you are running PC-BSD® 9.1-RELEASE, you can install EasyPBI version 2 using {{local|link=AppCafe®}}. You will need to specify the full path to EasyPBI2 in order to run this version by typing '''/usr/pbi/easypbi-amd64/bin/EasyPBI'''.
If you are running FreeBSD, you can install the sysutils/easypbi/ package or port. To start the application, type '''EasyPBI'''.
The rest of this section demonstrates how to use EasyPBI version 2 to convert an existing FreeBSD port into a PC-BSD® PBI. You may wish to skim the section on how to {{local|link=Create PBIs}} first, as well as refer to that section should you have trouble creating a PBI or wish to create a more complex PBI.
== Quick Start to Creating a PBI Module==
Before building a PBI, refer to the {{citelink|fdpcbsd|url=61|txt=PBI Requests forum}} to determine which PBIs have been requested by users. You should also check that a module does not already exist for the PBI in the {{citelink|url=https://github.com/pcbsd/pbi/tree/master/modules|txt=PBI Modules repository}}. Existing PBI modules are listed alphabetically, according to their category in the ports collection.
When EasyPBI starts up, it automatically checks to see if the FreeBSD ports tree is installed. If it is not, the message shown in Figure 8.1a will appear.
[[File:EasypbiMissingUtils2.png|frame|'''Figure 8.1a: Ports Tree not Installed''']]
Since the ports tree is needed to create PBIs, click OK to close this message then go to Options{{rarr}}EasyPBI Settings{{rarr}}FreeBSD Ports to access the screen shown in Figure 8.1b.
[[File:EasypbiFreebsdports1.png|thumb|393px|'''Figure 8.1b: Updating FreeBSD Ports''']]
Click the "Ports Tree" drop-down menu to select to install the ports tree to a specified directory ("Other"), only within the current user's home directory, or in ''/usr/ports'' so that it is available to other users. After making your selection, click the "Create Dir" button to be prompted for your password in order to install the ports collection.
Once the ports tree is installed, you are ready to create a new module. Click the "New" button to access the screen shown in Figure 8.1c.
[[File:Newmodule1.png|thumb|393px|'''Figure 8.1c: Creating a New Module''']]
Use the FreeBSD Port "Select" button to browse to the desired port from the FreeBSD ports tree. A generic icon will be supplied for the module. You can change the default icon by clicking the Icon File "Select" button. When selecting a custom icon, use a 64x64 .png file with a transparent background. After making your selections, click "OK".
EasyPBI will automatically supply the port information for the PBI and display the results. In the example shown in Figure 8.1d, the ''net-p2p/linuxdcpp'' port has been selected.
[[File:Newmodule2.png|thumb|393px|'''Figure 8.1d: Module Program Information''']]
You are now ready to build and test the PBI.
The next section describes all of the EasyPBI settings should you wish to further customize the module before building it. Otherwise, you can skip ahead to the section on {{local|link=EasyPBI2|anchor=Build.2C_Test.2C_and_Submit_the_PBI|building and testing the PBI module}}.
== Advanced Configuration ==
The previous section demonstrated how to quickly generate a PBI using the default module settings. This section describes which options are available for customizing PBI modules.
=== EasyPBI Settings ===
To setup the options for building PBIs, click ''Options''{{rarr}}''EasyPBI Settings''. There are three available tabs which are discussed in this section.
==== FreeBSD Ports Tab ====
Figure 8.1e shows the FreeBSD Ports tab on a system that already has FreeBSD ports installed to ''/usr/ports''.
[[File:Freebsdports.png|thumb|393px|'''Figure 8.1e: FreeBSD Ports Settings''']]
In this example, the ports tree was last updated on July 2. To update the ports tree, click the "Update" button. To install the ports tree into another directory, click the drop-down "Ports Tree" menu.
==== PBI Builds Tab ====
The PBI Builds tab is shown in Figure 8.1f.
[[File:Builds.png|thumb|393px|'''Figure 8.1f: PBI Build Settings''']]
The options in this screen can be summarized as follows:
'''PBI Output Dir:''' specifies the directory to store the built module. By default, it is the ''EasyPBI/PBI subdirectory'' of the user's home directory. Click the "Select" button to browse to another location.
'''Digitally Sign PBI:''' if you check this box, you will be prompted to select the location of the file containing the OpenSSL signature which will be used to digitally sign the PBI so that it is ready for for tamper-evident distribution. {{local|link=Create Your Own PBI Repository}} provides instructions for creating a signature file.
'''Use TMPFS:''' if your build system has more than 2GB of RAM, checking this option can speed up the build as it instructs the PBI build process to save all of the relevant port build pieces into memory rather than disk. If you get "Out of memory" errors when building a large port, you can uncheck this option for that particular build.
'''Use Package Caching:''' this setting is recommended as it saves all compiled ports as packages in the system cache in order to speed up subsequent builds by using the pre-built packages from the cache whenever possible rather than re-compiling every port dependency. Two additional options for dealing with the cache are available. The first option is to clear all packages from the cache and start fresh. The second option is to add a problematic package to the "Ignore" list. This will remove the specified package from the cache before starting each build, ensuring that it will always compile that port for each build that requires it.
==== Local Paths Tab ====
The Local Paths tab is shown in Figure 8.1g.
[[File:Paths.png|thumb|393px|'''Figure 8.1g: Local Paths Settings''']]
The options in this screen allow you to configure the following paths:
'''External Utilities:''' the default paths of the utilities used by EasyPBI to build PBI modules. The "Auto-Detect" button can be used to detect a new path if a missing utility is installed onto a FreeBSD system running EasyPBI.
'''Default Search Paths:''' the default directory that new modules are saved to, the initial search location for icons and other resources, and the default icon used by PBI modules.
=== Module Editor ===
The module editor pane for EasyPBI2 supports complete control over all the options available when creating PBI modules. Most of these options are not necessary for the majority of PBI modules, but they are available for applications that need some extra tweaking to work properly.
EasyPBI provides suggestions and default settings whenever there is a green arrow next to an option within the module editor. Click the arrow to view the suggestions, then click a suggestion to instruct EasyPBI to add it to the proper option within the module.
This section describes the five tabs that are available within the module editor pane.
==== PBI Configuration ====
Figure 8.1h shows the PBI Configuration tab of the module editor pane. This tab is used to set the required information about the program being packaged as a PBI.
[[File:Newmodule2.png|thumb|393px|'''Figure 8.1h: PBI Configuration''']]
As seen in the {{local|link=EasyPBI2|anchor=Quick_Start_to_Creating_a_PBI_Module|Quick Start}}, EasyPBI automatically fill in the port information when you browse to a FreeBSD port to convert into a PBI. Under "Program Information" the port's name, website, author (FreeBSD maintainer), and default icon are filled in for you. You should review these fields for accuracy:
* if necessary, correct the capitalization in "Name".
* if the application's author is not listed in the port information, it will instead list the email address of the FreeBSD port maintainer. If the application has a specific author, this should be corrected.
* if you wish to change the default icon, see the next section on the Resources tab to add additional icons to the drop-down selection list.
The "Build Information" box provides all of the options available for building the PBI. If you selected to build a PBI from local sources in Figure 8.1c, this section will only contain the local directory to be packaged as a PBI. If you are building a PBI from a FreeBSD port, there are a number of other options as seen in Figure 8.1i.
When converting a FreeBSD port to a PBI, the only required option is the "Main FreeBSD Port". This is set automatically based upon the port that you selected in Figure 8.3c, but you can change your initial port selection by clicking the "Change Port" button.
Some FreeBSD ports provide build options. If you click Information{{rarr}}FreeBSD Ports, the {{citelink|url=http://freshports.org|txt=FreshPorts}} entry for that port will open up in a web browser. Look for the "Configuration Options" for that entry. If there are any options, you can enable them in the "Port Build Options" box. EasyPBI will autodetect the available options and provide them as suggestions. Clicking the button with the green arrow to see the options and to select the build options to use. The selected options will be added to the "Port Build Options" box. If the port does not have any options, no suggestions will appear when you click the green arrow.
If you discover that the port appears to be missing a dependency for the application you are packaging as a PBI, you can add additional FreeBSD ports to the "Make Port Before/After" options. If the missing dependency is causing the port to not build properly, add it to the "Make Port Before" option. If it is a missing runtime dependency, add it to the "Make Port After" option.
The last option is for both local and port PBI modules. The "Requires Root Permissions" checkbox lets you set whether the PBI can only be installed and uninstalled using root privileges. This is important if the program requires special users or groups to be created, or an installation script needs access to the local system to make modifications.
{{note|icon64=Changes within this screen will not be saved until you click the "Save Configuration" button. Be sure to save any changes before leaving this tab.}}
==== Resources ====
The resources tab, shown in Figure 8.1i, displays any extra files to included in the PBI. If you click the entry for an image file, the full size image with size and type information will be displayed. For other types of files, such as scripts, EasyPBI will attempt to display the text inside the file.
[[File:Easypbiresources1.png|thumb|393px|'''Figure 8.1i: Resource Options''']]
This tab is mainly used to add PNG images to be used as PBI icons. If you add an icon, use a 64x64
''.png'' file with a transparent background.
An example of an additional file would be an application that requires the user to accept a License. Use the "+Add File" button to browse to the location of the ''LICENSE'' file.
If the application uses custom installer graphics, add them using this screen.
Another use is to create a wrapper script for starting the application. This is generally used for applications that have an environment variable that needs to be set before starting the program, such as ''JAVA_HOME''. A custom script could also be used to verify that the service is enabled or to generate a custom configuration file.
EasyPBI will assist in creating a wrapper script if you click the "+Wrapper Script" button. This will prompt for a filename in the format application_name.sh. Click the "OK" button and an entry will appear as EasyPBI automatically generates the script from a template that sets the most commonly used variables. In the example shown in Figure 8.1j, click the area below the ''DO SOMETHING HERE'' comment to customize the script. Creating a wrapper script is considered an advanced task that requires some knowledge of shell scripting, so feel free to ask for help on the {{citelink|fdpcbsd|url=12|txt=PBI Discussion forum}} or on the {{citelink|pcbsdlist|url=pbi-dev|txt=PBI developers mailing list}}.
[[File:Script.png|thumb|393px|'''Figure 8.1j: Edit the Automatically Generated Script''']]
==== XDG Entries ====
This tab, shown in Figure 8.1k, is used to create desktop icons and menu entries so that the application can be easily started from within a desktop environment. This is important step for graphical applications as it configures the primary method for interacting with the program.
[[File:Easypbixdgdesktop.png|thumb|393px|'''Figure 8.1k: Desktop Entries''']]
As seen in this example, the entries currently configured for the module will appear in the left side of the tab. Click an existing entry to display its details on the right. You can remove an entry by clicking the "-" (minus sign) button, or create a new entry by clicking on the white paper button under the entry list. On the right side of this tab, you can edit the currently selected entry and click the "Save" button to overwrite the current entry with the new settings. Alternately, click "Add" to copy the existing details to a new entry.
The "Entry Details" section of this tab are as follows when the "Desktop" button is selected:
* '''Name:''' this is the text that will appear for the desktop menu entry, and is usually the full name of the application.
* '''Executable:''' click the green arrow to select the executable or script that is used to start the application. Some ports have multiple binaries, so select the one associated with the program. If you created a script in the Resources tab, it will be added to the list and should be selected.
* '''Icon:''' the available icons will include the default icon and any that you added in the Resources tab.
* '''Open in Terminal:''' used to specify whether the application needs to be opened in an X terminal. This is useful for running some text-based programs that need to be embedded into a console for user interaction.
* '''Make Invisible:''' if checked, the entry will be hidden. This is not as useful for desktop entries but can be handy with menu entries.
* '''Requires Root:''' if checked, the user will be prompted for their password when the application starts.
Figure 8.1l shows the "Entry Details" that are available when "Menu" is selected.
[[File:Easypbixdgmenu.png|thumb|393px|'''Figure 8.1l: Menu Entry Details''']]
This screen adds two fields:
* '''Category:''' indicates the menu category that the entry will be placed under when listed in the desktop environment. Click the green arrow to see the available menu categories. The recommended category will have a small black arrow next to it.
* '''MIME Patterns:''' used to associate a space-separated list of file types with the application. This is useful when paired with the "Make Invisible" option. For example, consider an application which has two binaries representing two different aspects of the program and an additional binary that asks which of the two you want to use. You could create menu entries for all three binaries, but make the two specific ones invisible and associate file types with them. This means that when a user tries to open one of those file types, it will automatically run the particular binary that uses it, rather than prompting the user for input about what to do with the file.
==== Scripts ====
This tab, shown in figure 8.1m, is used to view and edit installation scripts used by the PBI.
[[File:Easypbiscripts.png|thumb|393px|'''Figure 8.1m: Installation Scripts''']]
If you click on the drop-down menu, you will see a list of available scripts, with an icon indicating whether or not that script exists in the module. Selecting a script will activate a "Create" button if the script does not exist, or will display the full script in a box for editing.
For "Local Source" PBIs, the only valid scripts are ''pre-install.sh'', ''post-install.sh'', and ''pre-remove.sh''. EasyPBI will only display the list of valid scripts.
{{note|icon64=Changes to the scripts in this screen will not be saved until you click the "Save " button. Be sure to save your work before leaving this tab.}}
==== External Links ====
This tab, shown in Figure 8.1n, is used to setup links for additional binaries within the PBI.
[[File:Easypbiexternallinks.png|thumb|393px|'''Figure 8.1n: External Links''']]
This screen becomes important if you add additional files to the PBI, such as wrapper scripts, that are not included in the FreeBSD port. Also, if you are packaging a local directory into a PBI instead of using a FreeBSD port, this screen is needed to setup the main binaries for the application.
When adding an entry, configure the following fields:
* '''File:''' the binary location in the PBI directory. Click the green arrow to select the binary to link. For FreeBSD ports, the binaries from the port are already configured, so you do not need to add them here unless you want to change the "File Type".
* '''Link To:''' input the path to link the binary to on the base system, relative to ''/usr/local/''.
* '''File Type:''' click the green arrow to set the type of link.
The following "File Type"s are supported:
* '''binary:''' indicates that this is an executable. The PBI will automatically create the necessary wrapper and PATH links.
* '''linux:''' indicates that this is a Linux executable. EasyPBI will automatically create the necessary Linux wrapper and PATH links.
* '''keep:''' instructs the PBI to ''' ''not'' ''' overwrite an existing file when linking a file into the LOCALBASE. By default, LOCALBASE is set to ''/usr/local''.
* '''replace:''' instructs the PBI to overwrite an existing file when linking a file into the LOCALBASE.
* '''nocrash:''' disables the crashhandler GUI from running on this PBI. However, the glue for the crash handler is not built into the base system yet.
== Build, Test, and Submit the PBI ==
The PBI Builder pane provides a graphical front-end to the PBI build structure. Once you have finished using "Module Editor", click the "PBI Builder" pane to build the PBI on your local system.
In the example shown in Figure 8.1o, the user has created a PBI module for the FreeBSD port p7zip. Since this is the module that appears at the top of the screen, this is the module that will be built if the user clicks the "Build PBI" button.
[[File:Easypbibuildsettings.png|thumb|393px|'''Figure 8.1o: PBI Builder''']]
To build a different module, either click the "Load" button to browse to the location of a previously saved PBI module or the "New" button to select a different FreeBSD port or local source to build.
To start the build of the PBI module, click the "Build PBI" button. A pop-up message will remind you that a working Internet connection is required so that the build process can download the source required to build the port. It will also prompt for the user's password.
The first time you build a PBI, EasyPBI will download the chroot environment used to build PBIs. Subsequent builds will reuse this environment. The build process itself may take some time, depending upon the size of the port selected and the speed of your computer. Build messages will be displayed in the white window. EasyPBI will inform you when the PBI build is finished, and whether it was successful or not.
If you wish to build a 32-bit version of the PBI on a 64-bit system, check the box "Build 32-bit".
During the build, you can create additional PBI modules by clicking the "Module Editor" pane. Click the "PBI Builder (Working)" pane to check on the status of the build. However, you can only build one PBI module at a time. If you need to stop the build process, click the "Cancel Build" button.
If the build fails, you may need to modify the module using "Module Editor". Click the "Save Build Log" button and browse to the location to save the log file which can be read with any ASCII text editor. Read the saved log to determine the error so that you can modify the module as needed. If you are unsure how to fix the PBI module, send the log for the failure to the {{citelink|pcbsdlist|url=pbi-dev|txt=pbi-dev mailing list}}.
===Test the PBI===
Once your build is finished, test the PBI to ensure that it installs and that the application works.
To install the PBI, become the superuser, '''cd''' to your PBI directory, and use the '''pbi_add''' command. Unless you have specified your own digital signature, include the ''--no-checksig'' option.
'''cd ~dru/EasyPBI/PBI'''
p7zip-9.20.1-amd64.pbi p7zip-9.20.1-amd64.pbi.sha256{{nbsp|16}}
'''pbi_add --no-checksig p7zip-9.20.1-amd64.pbi'''
Verifying Checksum...OK
Extracting to: /usr/pbi/p7zip-amd64
Installed: p7zip-9.20.1}}
If the module installs successfully, perform the following tests:
* for a graphical application, verify that a desktop icon was created (from a desktop that supports icons), that an entry was added to that desktop's application menu, and that the application successfully launches from the application menu. If you used a custom icon, verify that the icon was used.
* start the application from the command line to determine if there are any error messages at application launch. When starting the application, specify the full path to the application's binary to make sure that you are testing the PBI's binary.
* for a graphical application, go through the various menus to see if they produce any errors. If you encounter any error messages in either starting or using the application, record them. If the fix for resolving the error messages is not clear to you, send the error report the {{citelink|pcbsdlist|url=pbi-dev|txt=pbi-dev mailing list}}.
If you modify any settings in the PBI's module, rebuild the PBI then test again to see if the changes fixed the PBI.
===Submit the PBI Module===
Once you are satisfied with the PBI, go to Options{{rarr}}Package Module. A pop-up window will indicate that the module has been successfully packaged within the default "Modules" directory. The file name for the example PBI would be ''~dru/EasyPBI/Modules/p7zip.tar.gz''.
If you send that file to the {{citelink|pcbsdlist|url=pbi-dev|txt=pbi-dev mailing list}}, it will be added to the PC-BSD® build servers so that the PBI can be built. Once the built PBIs are tested, they will be added to AppCafe® so that other PC-BSD® users can benefit from the PBI.

First off, gotta give credit where credit is due. The idea for this larking around came from a post from a while back by Zakka Life, showing how they made lightsabres for her son's birthday party out of toilet roll tubes and modelling balloons. Absolutely fab idea! I've been holding off on trying this with the kids until the nights were drawn in and the weather was icky, so that we could experiment with using LED flashlights with it and maybe do a spot of Jedi light painting.
The modelling balloons that I had were kinda skinny little ones, so I had to tape them into the loo roll tubes to work. Also, the flashlights that we had were those little flat LED ones, like this...
We've done this three times in the last week with three different groups of friends ranging in age from 2 to eight years old, and they all absolutely loved it! No one is going to get hurt fighting with balloons, and the photos that came from a long exposure with the lights off are too much fun entirely. It looks like we have aurora borealis in our livingroom!
I made a couple of giant lightbulbs too, that the kids rather liked as nightlights.

Do they eat macarons because the BIG DAY is coming up!
Exactly ONE week from today, next Friday, March, the 20th will be MACARON DAY! Why else would I go to Paris in the freezing cold do you think?
Since dogs RULE in Paris, if you bring along a doggie, does the dog get free macarons too?
Have you ever even seen a Parisien dog eat a macaron?
I have to admit I have not.
But dogs are SO well loved in Paris this may not be an issue!
Where do I rent-a-dog-for-a-day in Paris? Please rack your brains, faithful PB readers. You always come up with such good solutions.
Even YSL had a dear little doggie. I'm sure it is not rented...
I shall await your response and thoughtful advice with anticipation...

Save Now or Save Later?
Most people have good intentions about saving for retirement. But few know when they should start and how much they should save.
Sometimes it might seem that the expenses of today make it too difficult to start saving for tomorrow. It's easy to think that you will begin to save for retirement when you reach a more comfortable income level, but the longer you put it off, the harder it will be to accumulate the amount you need.
The rewards of starting to save early for retirement outweigh the cost of waiting. By contributing even small amounts each month, you may be able to amass a great deal over the long term. One helpful method is to allocate a specific dollar amount or percentage of your salary every month and to pay yourself as though saving for retirement were a required expense.
Here's a hypothetical example of the cost of waiting. Two friends, Chris and Leslie, want to start saving for retirement. Chris starts saving $275 a month right away and continues to do so for 10 years, after which he stops but lets his funds continue to accumulate. Leslie waits 10 years before starting to save, then starts saving the same amount on a monthly basis. Both their accounts earn a consistent 8% rate of return. After 20 years, each would have contributed a total of $33,000 for retirement. However, Leslie, the procrastinator, would have accumulated a total of $50,646, less than half of what Chris, the early starter, would have accumulated ($112,415).*
This example makes a strong case for an early start so that you can take advantage of the power of compounding. Your contributions have the potential to earn interest, and so does your reinvested interest. This is a good example of letting your money work for you.
If you have trouble saving money on a regular basis, you might try savings strategies that take money directly from your paycheck on a pre-tax or after-tax basis, such as employer-sponsored retirement plans and other direct-payroll deductions.
Regardless of the method you choose, it's extremely important to start saving now, rather than later. Even small amounts can help you greatly in the future. You could also try to increase your contribution level by 1% or more each year as your salary grows.
Distributions from tax-deferred retirement plans, such as 401(k) plans and traditional IRAs, are taxed as ordinary income and may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty if withdrawn prior to age 59½, unless an exception applies.
*This hypothetical example of mathematical compounding is used for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the performance of any specific investment. Rates of return will vary over time, particularly for long-term investments. Investments offering the potential for higher rates of return involve a higher degree of investment risk. Taxes, inflation, and fees were not considered. Actual results will vary.

Possibly the most important feature of an editor designed for programmers is the ability to indent a line of code in accordance with the structure of the programming language. The Erlang mode does, of course, provide this feature. The layout used is based on the common use of the language. The mode also provides things as syntax highlighting, electric commands, module name verification, comment support including paragraph filling, skeletons, tags support etc.
In the following descriptions the use of the word Point means: "Point can be seen as the position of the cursor. More precisely, the point is the position between two characters while the cursor is drawn over the character following the point".
The following command are directly available for indentation.
- TAB (erlang-indent-command) - Indents the current line of code.
- M-C-\ (indent-region) - Indents all lines in the region.
- M-l (indent-for-comment) - Insert a comment character to the right of the code on the line (if any).
Lines containing comment are indented differently depending on the number of %-characters used:
- Lines with one %-character is indented to the right of the code. The column is specified by the variable comment-column, by default column 48 is used.
- Lines with two %-characters will be indented to the same depth as code would have been in the same situation.
- Lines with three of more %-characters are indented to the left margin.
- C-c C-q (erlang-indent-function) - Indents the current Erlang function.
M-x erlang-indent-clause RET
-Indent the current Erlang clause. - M-x erlang-indent-current-buffer RET - Indent the entire buffer.
Edit - Fill Comment
When editing normal text in text mode you can let Emacs reformat the text by the fill-paragraph command. This command will not work for comments since it will treat the comment characters as words.
The Erlang editing mode provides a command that knows about the Erlang comment structure and can be used to fill text paragraphs in comments. Ex:
%% This is just a very simple test to show %% how the Erlang fill %% paragraph command works.
Clearly, the text is badly formatted. Instead of formatting this paragraph line by line, let's try erlang-fill-paragraph by pressing M-q. The result is:
%% This is just a very simple test to show how the Erlang fill %% paragraph command works.
Edit - Comment/Uncomment Region
C-c C-c will put comment characters at the beginning of all lines in a marked region. If you want to have two comment characters instead of one you can do C-u 2 C-c C-c
C-c C-u will undo a comment-region command.
Edit - Moving the marker
- C-a M-a (erlang-beginning-of-function) - Move the point to the beginning of the current or preceding Erlang function. With an numeric argument (ex C-u 2 C-a M-a) the function skips backwards over this many Erlang functions. Should the argument be negative the point is moved to the beginning of a function below the current function.
- M-C-a (erlang-beginning-of-clause) - As above but move point to the beginning of the current or preceding Erlang clause.
- C-a M-e (erlang-end-of-function) - Move to the end of the current or following Erlang function. With an numeric argument (ex C-u 2 C-a M-e) the function skips backwards over this many Erlang functions. Should the argument be negative the point is moved to the end of a function below the current function.
- M-C-e (erlang-end-of-clause) - As above but move point to the end of the current or following Erlang clause.
Edit - Marking
- C-c M-h (erlang-mark-function) - Put the region around the current Erlang function. The point is placed in the beginning and the mark at the end of the function.
- M-C-h (erlang-mark-clause) Put the region around the current Erlang clause. The point is placed in the beginning and the mark at the end of the function.
Edit - Function Header Commands
- C-c C-j (erlang-generate-new-clause) - Create a new clause in the current Erlang function. The point is placed between the parentheses of the argument list.
- C-c C-y (erlang-clone-arguments) - Copy the function arguments of the preceding Erlang clause. This command is useful when defining a new clause with almost the same argument as the preceding.
Edit - Arrows
C-c C-a (erlang-align-arrows) - aligns arrows after clauses inside a region.
Example: sum(L) -> sum(L, 0). sum([H|T], Sum) -> sum(T, Sum + H); sum([], Sum) -> Sum. becomes: sum(L) -> sum(L, 0). sum([H|T], Sum) -> sum(T, Sum + H); sum([], Sum) -> Sum.
Syntax highlighting
The syntax highlighting can be activated from the Erlang menu. There are four different alternatives:
- Off: Normal black and white display.
- Level 1: Function headers, reserved words, comments, strings, quoted atoms, and character constants will be colored.
- Level 2: The above, attributes, Erlang bif:s, guards, and words in comments enclosed in single quotes will be colored.
- Level 3: The above, variables, records, and macros will be colored. (This level is also known as the Christmas tree level.)
For the tag commands to work it requires that you have generated a tag file. See Erlang mode users guide
- M-. (find-tag) - Find a function definition. The default value is the function name under the point.
- Find Tag (erlang-find-tag) - Like the Elisp-function `find-tag'. Capable of retrieving Erlang modules. Tags can be given on the forms `tag', `module:', `module:tag'.
- M-+ (erlang-find-next-tag) - Find the next occurrence of tag.
- M-TAB (erlang-complete-tag) - Perform completion on the tag entered in a tag search. Completes to the set of names listed in the current tags table.
- Tags aprops (tags-apropos) - Display list of all tags in tags table REGEXP matches.
- C-x t s (tags-search) - Search through all files listed in tags table for match for REGEXP. Stops when a match is found.
A skeleton is a piece of pre-written code that can be inserted into the buffer. Erlang mode comes with a set of predefined skeletons. The skeletons can be accessed either from the Erlang menu of from commands named tempo-template-erlang-*, as the skeletons is defined using the standard Emacs package "tempo". Here follows a brief description of the available skeletons:
- Simple skeletons: If, Case, Receive, Receive After, Receive Loop - Basic code constructs.
- Header elements: Module, Author - These commands insert lines on the form -module(xxx). and -author('my@home').. They can be used directly, but are also used as part of the full headers described below.
- Full Headers: Small (minimum requirement), Medium (with fields for basic information about the module), and Large Header (medium header with some extra layout structure).
- Small Server - skeleton for a simple server not using OTP.
- Application - skeletons for the OTP application behavior
- Supervisor - skeleton for the OTP supervisor behavior
- Supervisor Bridge - skeleton for the OTP supervisor bridge behavior
- gen_server - skeleton for the OTP gen_server behavior
- gen_event - skeleton for the OTP gen_event behavior
- gen_fsm - skeleton for the OTP gen_fsm behavior
- gen_statem (StateName/3) - skeleton for the OTP gen_statem behavior using state name functions
- gen_statem (handle_event/4) - skeleton for the OTP gen_statem behavior using one state function
- Library module - skeleton for a module that does not implement a process.
- Corba callback - skeleton for a Corba callback module.
- Erlang test suite - skeleton for a callback module for the erlang test server.
- New shell (erlang-shell) - Starts a new Erlang shell.
- C-c C-z, (erlang-shell-display ) - Displays an Erlang shell, or starts a new one if there is no shell started.
- C-c C-k, (erlang-compile) - Compiles the Erlang module in the current buffer. You can also use C-u C-c C-k to debug compile the module with the debug options debug_info and export_all.
- C-c C-l, (erlang-compile-display) - Display compilation output.
- C-u C-x` Start parsing the compiler output from the beginning. This command will place the point on the line where the first error was found.
- C-x` (erlang-next-error) - Move the point on to the next error. The buffer displaying the compilation errors will be updated so that the current error will be visible.
On unix you can view the manual pages in emacs. In order to find the manual pages, the variable `erlang-root-dir' should be bound to the name of the directory containing the Erlang installation. The name should not include the final slash. Practically, you should add a line on the following form to your ~/.emacs,
(setq erlang-root-dir "/the/erlang/root/dir/goes/here")
Starting IMenu
- M-x imenu-add-to-menubar RET - This command will create the IMenu menu containing all the functions in the current buffer.The command will ask you for a suitable name for the menu. Not supported by Xemacs.
- M-x erlang-version RET - This command displays the version number of the Erlang editing mode. Remember to always supply the version number when asking questions about the Erlang mode.

I'm Michel Martin and this is TELL ME MORE from NPR News. We're going to start the program today by focusing on some pressing international stories. Later we'll try to find out why some demonstrators in Tel Aviv attacked African migrants last week, and we'll also talk about how Israel's government is responding to this. But first we turn to developments in Syria, where the violence that's been going on for a year has taken a particularly vicious turn.
The government has reportedly been shelling the city of Homs. This comes only a day after the Syrian government was widely condemned for what's been described as a massacre of more than 100 people in the town of Houla. The government and rebels are blaming each for this, but nearly a dozen countries are expelling Syrian envoys. Here again to help us understand what's going on is Abderrahim Foukara.
He is the Washington bureau chief for Al Jazeera International and he's with us often to talk about important stories like this. Welcome back. Thanks for joining us once again.
ABDERRAHIM FOUKARA: Thanks, Michel.
MARTIN: Now, your network is also using the term massacre to describe what happened in Houla this past Friday. Do I have that right?
FOUKARA: Yes, that's correct.
MARTIN: So can you break down what we know and what we don't know about what happened there?
FOUKARA: Well, there is an awful lot that we don't know, and that awful lot obviously hinges on the lack of certainty as to who actually committed the massacre. As you rightly pointed out, the international community is accusing the regime of Bashar al-Assad of being behind it, but Bashar al-Assad is accusing the opposition, the armed opposition, whom he dubs as terrorists.
And obviously he has the support of the Russians in that. The Russians - the position of the Russians seems to have evolved somewhat recently. There was that Security Council, U.N. Security Council statement condemning the massacring in Damascus, in Syria, but the Russians are now saying that there shouldn't be a leap of faith from that - what that statement says to concluding that the Russians want the regime to be changed or want to allow the West and its allies to change the regime in Damascus.
MARTIN: Well, as you pointed out, you know, the West, the United States, among others, have been calling for regime change for quite some time now, and nearly a dozen countries are now expelling Syrian envoys. This is a clip from the U.S. State Department's Victoria Nuland. Here it is.
VICTORIA NULAND: We will obviously continue to look at other ways we can pressure the regime economically, politically, diplomatically, and continue to try to tighten the noose.
MARTIN: I have two questions here. One is, you know, Kofi Annan, the U.N. special envoy to Syria, said this is a tipping point here, and I'm wondering whether in other countries in the region is it also seen that way, and what are some of these efforts to tighten the noose being contemplated?
FOUKARA: Well, a lot of people are seeing it as a tipping point, but it also has to be said that there have been points in the past that were seen as tipping points and yet Bashar al-Assad is still in place. The situation, the security situation, continues to be what it is in Syria. There are a lot of people talking of Kofi Annan. A lot of people in the region feel that his mission as U.N. and Arab League envoy in Syria is now dead.
But you're not going to get governments to actually proclaim it dead because the concern is if you proclaim it dead, then what? What do you do in lieu of it? The issue of tightening the noose - economically, obviously, Syria doesn't have significant assets with the West, economically, so that, you know, pressure could be brought to bear on them. The Syrians - Bashar al-Assad's main assets continue to be Russia and Iran.
The Iranians are supplying him with assets, various other needs. The Russians continue to provide political and diplomatic cover for him. And my sense is that until those dynamics change, the situation will continue. At least that's the general feeling in the region. The situation will continue to hurtle from one tipping point to another tipping point.
Except that internally the situation has reached a point where everybody now is increasingly talking about civil war, and to all intents and purposes there has been civil war going on.
MARTIN: I mean isn't it really one now?
FOUKARA: I mean from all the reports that we've been getting, it's very easy to conclude that civil war has been unfolding in Syria for some time. But to circle back to this massacre in Houla - because the region where it happened is a Sunni region and it's surrounded by Alawite Shia villages, and Bashar al-Assad is an Alawite.
So if it turns out - and the investigation is not conclusive yet - but if it turns out that people did come from those Alawite villages, as the accusation is, and committed that massacre, then obviously this is fully fledged civil war. And we've seen something similar in Algeria in the 1990s. Once you get those dynamics of a civil war, ethnic or religious, unleashed, it's very, very difficult to stop it, even if Bashar al-Assad were to leave power tomorrow.
MARTIN: If you're just joining us, you're listening to TELL ME MORE from NPR News. We're speaking with Abderrahim Foukara of Al Jazeera International. We're taking a look at developments in the Middle East and North Africa. I want to move to Egypt now because one of the reasons that I think that this particular story is so disturbing - I mean on top of just the obvious, you know, issue of the horrendous, you know, loss of life, is it's such a marked contrast to the sense of optimism that kind of spread through the region last year.
And you know, the election results were announced in Egypt earlier this week. This will be a runoff between the Muslim Brotherhood candidate and Mubarak's last prime minister. And I just wanted to just ask sort of your general sense of were the elections viewed to this point as free and fair? And what is your sense of how the Egyptian population is viewing their choices at this juncture?
FOUKARA: Well, we are obviously - what's going on now is a far cry from what happened 15 months ago in terms of the optimism but also in terms of the unity of Egyptians. Fifteen months ago, almost all Egyptians were united in wanting to get rid of Mubarak. And since they have been - Egypt has been sliced and diced politically in so many different ways.
And a lot of Egyptians feel that it's ironic that 15 months later we end up with Shafiq, who served as Mubarak's last prime minister before Mubarak stepped down, who is a former army general and therefore he's very close to the military council that's now ruling Egypt. So 15 months later you end up with a choice between Shafiq and the candidate of the Muslim Brotherhood.
For those Egyptians who led the so-called revolution to get rid of Mubarak, it's obviously a disheartening choice. But a lot of other Egyptians are saying it is democracy. Ahmed Shafiq may not be the ideal candidate, but to a lot of Egyptians he is - he symbolizes stability. And Mursi, the candidate of the Muslim Brotherhood, may not be an ideal candidate but he has some - compared with Shafiq, he symbolizes change. It's a difficult choice.
But the situation in Egypt has surprised us in so many different ways and the expectation is that we will see many more expectations in the weeks ahead.
MARTIN: Each of those candidates got less than 30 percent of the vote in the first round. Do you have any sense of how each of them is trying to put together a working majority? At least enough of a majority to claim the victory?
FOUKARA: Yes. I mean, each one of them is trying to reach out to other parts of the political spectrum. For example, Mursi, the candidate of the Muslim Brotherhood, is trying to reach out to liberals on the left to sort of form a block that would enable him to govern and maybe give the candidate, the liberal candidate from the left who came in third in the elections, although Sabahi, his name is, he has rejected that.
The problem is that Shafiq, although many people reject him in Egypt, there are, for example, the Christian Copts feel so threatened by the rise of these Islamist movements such as the Muslim Brotherhood, and they see him as a hope, quite frankly, who may stand as a bulwark between them and what many of them describe as potential persecution that may happen to them under an Islamist government.
The Islamists are saying no, we are now trying to - for example, Morsi, over the last couple of days, has been saying the status of women will be preserved - that is(ph), their rights will be preserved. The status of the Copts - they will continue to enjoy freedom that they would enjoy under any other rule in Egypt.
Whether the promises that Morsi and Shafiq are offering Egyptians now will be able to be translated into reality once one of them becomes president, I guess remains the issue, but then again, you could argue that that's the case in any democracy. To what extent democracy will actually emerge in Egypt is the real question.
MARTIN: Before we let you go, I did want to just briefly ask your reaction to a provocative story in the New York Times. The New York Times reported yesterday that the president, President Obama, and a small circle of counterterrorism advisors have been working off an actual kill list to target al-Qaida terrorists and that some of the people on that list are, in fact, quite young. And I just wonder, what's been the reaction to this story, given all that's going on in the region?
FOUKARA: Yeah. I mean, there hasn't been a reaction as such to the revelations in the New York Times article, but there has been a sort of reaction to President Obama himself. The way he was seen four years ago is obviously very different from the way he is seen today in the region, and part of this metamorphosis, if you will, of his image in the region is the use of drones and the concomitant civilian casualties in places such as Afghanistan and Yemen.
Yemen, obviously, is a big story now and the position of the U.S. administration, vis-a-vis what's happening in Yemen, especially southern Yemen, where al-Qaida seems to have strengthened its position following the stepping down of the former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, that's obviously soliciting a lot of attention. And by default it's focusing a lot of attention on Obama and his policy in that part of the region.
MARTIN: Abderrahim Foukara is the Washington bureau chief for Al Jazeera International. He's a frequent guest on this program and he was kind enough to join us once again in our studios here in Washington, D.C.
Abderrahim, thank you so much for speaking with us.
FOUKARA: Always good to be with you. Thank you. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Dental Implant Success
What do you use your teeth for? Eating, drinking, speaking, laughing, the list goes on! How are these affected when you have tooth loss?
If you have missing teeth, you could be missing a lot! A very reliable and safe method for replacing teeth is dental implants.
Dental implants permanently attach prosthetic teeth to small posts or "roots" that are embedded in the jaw. These posts are made of titanium, and securely fuse to the jaw bone, this helps restore the full functionality of previously missing teeth.
Dental implants not only effectively and reliably replace missing teeth, but also help prevent the loss of jawbone density, restore the support of facial structures, and provide you with the support you need to effectively use your teeth.
The procedure for dental implants can be a quick and easy, and in some cases, can be done in a single day. Your implants become part of you, so they eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures. They also prevent the embarrassment of removing dentures at every snack or meal, as well as the need for denture adhesives.
Sliding dentures can make chewing difficult. Dental implants function like your own teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods with confidence and without pain. Nearby teeth are not altered in order to support a dental implant, thus more of your own teeth are left intact, improving oral health in the long-term as well as your oral hygiene.
Dental implants are very durable, lasting several years, and if they are in good care, can last a lifetime.
Don't miss out with missing teeth, get your smile back and feel better about yourself!
Here at South Bedford Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery we specialize in dental implants, so give us a call today to discuss your future implant success!

Hertz Furniture has a vast selection of storage units which will meet any school or office storage requirements. Whether you need wood bookcases, modular shelving or mobile storage cabinets, we have appropriate furniture to help keep your supplies organized.
What's the best way to organize a storage closet? That depends what you are storing. We offer many specialized products, including music storage and trophy and display cases. Tired of piles of papers strewn across your desktop? Be sure to check out our handy mail organizers. Hertz Furniture also provides a complimentary design service to assist you in planning your storage system.
Storage cabinets can come in handy anywhere, whether you need to store extra cleaning supplies, computer equipment or tools. Adjustable shelving on many of our units enables you to accommodate virtually anything that needs to be stored. With a variety of sizes and colors to choose from, you can find a storage closet or wardrobe that will look great in any classroom, maintenance room or office. Metal storage cabinets from Sandusky Lee are durable and versatile. When you invest in this excellent storage solution, you can be sure that it will serve you well for many years to come.
While metal cabinets are sturdy and dependable, you might want something more attractive for a professional setting. If you need some extra space for supplies and equipment in the principal's office or executive suite, veneer and wood cabinets from top office furniture manufacturers including DMI and Mayline are great. Many of them are part of full collections so they can be coordinated perfectly with office desks and other furniture.
In addition to having attractive cabinets, many professionals require some extra filing space and room for office supplies. An office credenza can also be coordinated with other furniture. It includes a combination of cabinets, box drawers and file drawers that will help keep a workspace organized while ensuring that materials are accessible.
Every educational setting requires lots of great storage. Schools need extra supplies on the premises, but not everything has to be out in the open at all times. Whether you just need an extra cabinet for the art room, or you need a full lineup of storage solutions for the whole building, Hertz Furniture has it all - and then some.
Appropriate lab storage is essential for any science classroom where students are doing hands-on experiments. When you need to store microscopes, petri dishes and chemicals, we have all of the right equipment. You can choose between units with wood and glass doors that are wall-mounted or freestanding. Locking science cabinets protect valuable equipment and supplies as well as students. If your school science lab has a lot of chemicals, a flammable liquids cabinet is recommended. This locking storage unit ensures that potentially harmful chemicals remain locked up until they are needed for supervised use.
Students put a lot of time and effort into paintings and drawings, so you want to make sure that their hard work is not accidentally damaged. When paintings are left to dry on countertops and tables, they can easily get knocked over or smudged. With art drying racks, you can make sure that student work is protected from damage as it dries. Our high-capacity art racks are great for large schools where many students use the art room over the course of a day.
A school with a full creative arts program will also require some excellent instrument storage. Whether you have a marching band, orchestra, academic music program or all of the above, having an appropriate place to keep instruments in school is very helpful to students. Rather than carrying their instruments around all day, they can leave them locked up securely in the music room. This arrangement makes the whole experience of music in the educational environment much more pleasant.
Demonstrate your support and pride for student accomplishments with our sleek trophy display cases. Whether your soccer team has won the state championship or the debate club has made it to the finals, all students will appreciate a prominent display space that showcases their achievements. When visitors and parents pass by artfully-displayed acknowledgements of your school's awards they are sure to be impressed.
When you need bookcases for an office, classroom or school library, Hertz Furniture has an excellent selection. Bookshelves can be coordinated with office decor or color-coded by subjects in a library. We have steel, veneer and wood bookshelves, so you can choose the material you prefer. Educational Edge bookcases offer a great way to bring some color into a classroom. When books are displayed prominently on proper shelving, people can see that your company or institution cares about scholarship and promotes the acquisition of knowledge.
Having great shelving and closets is always convenient - except when you need to move everything. A fully-stocked closet or bookshelf can be quite a challenge to relocate. With mobile storage units, you can simply roll everything into position without having to carry anything. This saves time and back strain.
Speaking of mobility and storage, chair dollies and table carts are a great option to consider if your school, company or church has temporary seating and tables. Whenever a room needs to be set up for a big event, furniture can easily be rolled out of storage and moved to the desired location. Our table dollies and chair trucks are designed for easy maneuvering and compact storage.
You can never go wrong when you purchase storage solutions from Hertz Furniture. Our variety of multipurpose cabinets and custom equipment provides you with any kind of storage you might need in a school, office or church. When your possessions are stored and displayed properly, the whole building will take on an organized and attractive feel.
