that is awesome but dwm is better so do that instead
The only thing i can't find is virtual desktops, i am quite used to it in Ubuntu so i am a bit dissapointed.
Oh and if somebody is used to KDE it would be great if you could give me some tips for making it look good.
I love when my desktop is sorted and smexy
And i also just found out CTRL + F8.
Ubuntu 12.04 is looking to be pretty awesome.
This is the thing about Open Source software, it's all a matter of opinion. At least, for the most part.
It's general linux chat, i am allowed to ask questions. And it's better than starting a new thread.
TL;DR: Wait a month or however long it takes for them to release it.
Anyway, just unlock widges, and open up the Configuration thing for your panel (Click the cashew on the panel), click Add Widget, and put a Pager on your panel.
You can also use the scroll wheel on the wallpaper to switch desktops.
Granted it worked on another computer, just not the primary one I used.
So my IT internship gave me a laptop to use and they said I could dual boot linux if I wanted. So I was going to download fedora than I saw that they offer the distro with different interfaces straight out of install, just thought that was really awesome. Props to fedora.
I will test it out anyways witht he side of the touchpad.
Is there a way to get multi-touch working? I've found the whole project that tries to enable that but no files/repositories containing any of the required driver stuff...
A couple years ago when I got my EeePC, I could do two finger scrolling on the touchpad.
Unless you're talking about Multi-pointer X (i.e. having multiple pointers on screen), then I don't know how to set that up.
So i got Ubuntu on my laptop.
I have no password required to login to my administrator account but i need a password for everything "Authentication"...
Is there anyway to make it other way around, password to login but no authentication password?
Again, this is not the most secure setup, and malicious software (or even your own ignorance or carelessness) could seriously cripple your system. I myself have sudo configured not to prompt for a password, but I'm willing to take the risk for the minor convenience.
I really enjoy using KDE.
I would recommend it, even tho' i am not a Linux expert.
I have 2 questions.
When i switch workspace with KDE 4.8 my windows are still there.
Example: I have Facepunch open i browser, then i switch workspace but my browser is still there, just minimized.
Can it be changed?
And is there a code for installing skype? Can't locate it anywhere. (terminal)
Even tho' i recommend it i don't know everything about it.
I am still fiddling with it a lot!
Skype might not be in the repository, you might need to either add a PPA or get the deb from skype's site.
There is no .deb from skype's site.
The only 2 things i can choose from is "dynamic" or "static" actually.
I did it with my Ubuntu 11.10, worked smoothly.
http://www.skype.com/intl/en/get-sky...omputer/linux/ lists releases for Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian and OpenSUSE, plus the dynamic and static ones.
2012, Year of the Linux on anything but the desktop?
I've been learning Ruby for the past 3 days. Do you guys think it's a good replacement for bash scripting?
Could you elaborate as to why? And maybe give a suggestion.
Incoming shitstorm Arch users:
Xorg 1.12 is in testing and is gonna be moved to extra very soon. God help you if you run fglrx.
I'm attempting to install Arch Linux on my old desktop. I've hit a problem when installing packages. The installation window starts of fine with a stream of "downloading [filename]..." messages. Then;
error: segmentation fault
Internal pacman error: Segmentation fault.
and 9 lines of;
error: error writing to file '/mnt/var/cache/pacman/pkg/vi-1:050325-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz.part': Invalid argument.
I'm not sure what other relevant informations I should provide, request it and I'll edit it into the post. How would I go about making this not happen?
Anybody know what wicd-client is using to display widgets?
I'm having trouble with getting a network manager to work on openbox, I've tried nm-applet but even when I execute it via terminal I get errors, any ideas?
No... Well it's kind of hard to troubleshoot a problem when you have to imagine the error messages.
Basically I use Python for more programmy things, and Bash for shell stuff.
Turns out my CD drive is broken, So now i'm going to try to boot off a thumb drive with a iso loaded using UNetbootin.
From what I've seen from Ruby it seems like it will do the job. I want a language that will let me get things done quickly.
For example, a few weeks back I wrote a script to test the speed of drupal (opensource CMS). By test, of course, I mean spam the living shit out of it to see how well it would handle having 1000-2000 posts. I used bash and cURL. It worked pretty well, but bash always seemed to get in my way.
I think that ruby will work for me. I have a script that I need to do for work. I'll report on how well ruby did the job.
I think Perl works pretty well for doing stuff Bash is good at (running shell programs)
if you really must have a bash replacement use either zsh or python. I think python would be better for you since you don't like bash's if statements and zsh uses the same syntax

ATI Technologies is publicly demonstrating high-definition H.264 video playback with hardware acceleration on the PC platform at Computex 2005 in Taipei, Taiwan. H.264 is a video compression standard that will be used in the next generation high-definition video players such as Blu-ray and HD-DVD.
H.264 is designed to have two to three times the compression efficiency of current schemes such as MPEG-2, while simultaneously improving overall image quality. This increased compression efficiency is computationally demanding, therefore graphics hardware assistance is crucial for real-time decoding of high bit-rate video, according to ATI.
The ATI demonstration at Computex features H.264 playback with Radeon technology and a CyberLink video player application. In addition to hardware acceleration of H.264, the Radeon processor is performing next-generation video processing and demonstrating display capabilities, ATI reports.

Diné and Hopi artist Venaya Yazzie will close the seventh annual Sacred Arts Festival in style Sunday with the hands-on Journey into Navajo Jewelry Adornment. The Fort Lewis College graduate hails from the San Juan Valley of northwestern New Mexico, and her heritage is rooted in the communities of Huerfano and the Chaco Canyon region of the eastern Navajo Nation.
Navajo Jewelry Adornment is a cultural journey into the historical, material and spiritual connections of the Navajo ways of being and adorning themselves. Yazzies talk will explore the ancestral and cultural significance of the Southwestern indigenous tribal peoples adornment practices and symbolism.
Yazzie said the goals of the lecture and jewelry-making workshop are to gain a greater understanding and appreciation for Diné customs and beliefs, find purpose in the Diné rituals of personal adornment, make connections between Southwestern Indigenous material culture and the Diné philosophy and spirituality and re-establish the roles of Diné women, matriarchy, self-confidence and self-esteem.
The workshop will include handouts, jewelry supplies and turquoise, and one completed jewelry piece.

A new life for an old friend
PUTNEY -- The first sign that something big was happening at the Putney Inn occurred when the 12 Norwegian spruce trees on the property were cut down.
Former Putney resident Gov. George Aiken donated the trees in 1931 to The Society of Saint Edmunds, a Catholic missionary order that owned the property at the time.
The towering trees were an iconic symbol of the Putney Inn, but there are soon to be new owners of the inn and restaurant and they have plans.
"It was painful for me and a lot of people noticed it," owner Randi Ziter said. "They were in the way of their garden plans and there are going to be changes."
Ziter, whose family has owned The Putney Inn for 37 years, is close to finalizing a deal to sell the 14-acre property to Clearview Investment Management, a real estate investment firm from Connecticut.
The group is going to close the inn and restaurant for the winter and renovate all of the buildings, with plans to add an indoor swimming pool and spa.
The new Putney Inn will open in the spring, with Ziter managing the business.
This Friday night Butterfly Swing Band will play from 7 to 10 p.m. for one final night before the work starts.
The music is free.
"Butterfly Swing Band has been playing every fourth Friday so it seemed like a fitting way to go out," Ziter said. "We wanted to give everyone one more chance to stop by and say 'hi.'"
Ziter grew up in Brattleboro and her family owned and ran Ziter's Market on Western Avenue.
She grew up in that store working beside her grandfather and when the family purchased the Putney Inn in 1975 she went to work there, eventually taking over the business by herself in 1978.
There were plenty of good years, she recalled, but changes in the ski and hospitality industry have made it harder to keep her books in the black.
Families used to stay at The Putney Inn during ski vacations but with expansions at every ski resort winter sports enthusiasts now drive to the mountain and never leave until it is time to go home.
The Putney Inn also used to be one of the few places to stay before international hotel chains opened up and down Putney Road.
For a family booking a room from Boston or Connecticut it is much more likely they find a major chain hotel in Brattleboro on the Internet before happening upon The Putney Inn.
"We were at the point where we needed to do something dramatic," Ziter said. "But this is an incredible opportunity. There is now incredible potential for continued stages of growth."
Ziter says the business has been on the market for a few years now but she was waiting for the right opportunity to come along.
She believes Clearview Investment Management is the right group to carry the historic property into the 21st century.
The past few weeks have been bittersweet, Ziter said, as former employees and customers stopped by as word spread about the new ownership.
The plans right now are for the group to upgrade all 25 rooms at The Putney Inn and completely renovate the dinning room and function rooms.
Westminster garden designer Gordon Hayward is drawing up plans for the grounds and those 12 historic Norwegian spruce trees are on their way to the mill, where they will be made into floor boards and lumber for the renovation.
All of the work is taking place as The Putney Inn gets ready to celebrate 50 years as a hospitality property.
"It's hard not to be sentimental but I think a lot of positive is going to come from this," she said. "I have been wanting to do this work for a long time but I never had the cash flow. This whole place is going to be transformed. We'll be back in the spring."

Michigan Consolidated Gas Company, a public utility and a natural gas producer, traces its roots to 1849, when it was known as the City of Detroit Gas Company. Michigan Consolidated Gas produced and sold gas for customers in Michigan.
Rival gas companies were vying for business in Gilded Age Detroit. At that time gas was used in streetlights, lamps, and increasingly as a source of winter heating. The City of Detroit Gas Company, the Michigan Gas Company, and the Mutual Gas Company merged in the 1890s to create the Detroit Gas Company. The Detroit Gas Company both manufactured gas and sought natural deposits. The company built delivery pipelines and manufacturing plants. In 1905 American Light & Traction (later renamed American Natural Gas Company) bought the majority of Detroit Gas. Detroit Gas expanded its sales region to surrounding towns in the early twentieth century. A pipeline from Texas, completed in 1936, allowed greatly expanded gas delivery to Michigan.
Detroit Gas was incorporated as a subsidiary of American Light & Traction in 1938 and renamed Michigan Consolidated Gas Company. Other subsidiaries of American Natural Gas Company included Milwaukee Gas Light Company, Michigan Wisconsin Pipe Line, American Louisiana Pipe Line, and Milwaukee Solvay Coke. American Light & Traction opened for business in 1901. All of Michigan Consolidated Gas's capital stock was owned by American Natural Gas after 1938.
The company expanded its influence by buying the Taggart Brothers gas fields for $825,000 in 1941 and the Gas Corporation of Michigan in 1942 for $750,000. The company funded its expansion and its gas exploration efforts through the sale of bonds and preferred stock.
Michigan Consolidated Gas greatly expanded its production and profits during the 1960s, when it was the largest natural gas distributor in Michigan. The company produced 194 billion cubic feet of gas in 1959; by 1970 it was producing 410 cubic feet of gas a year. During that period, revenues went from $160 million to $306 million. In 1968 Michigan Consolidated Gas organized a wholly owned subsidiary, Michigan Consolidated Homes Corporation. Michigan Consolidated Homes built and sold low-income housing in Detroit. By 1970 Michigan Consolidated Gas operated in 357 municipalities.
The company is now commonly called MichCon. It has been a subsidiary of DTE Energy (formerly Detroit Edison) since 2001. For an interesting historical timeline on Michigan Consolidated Gas, see the DTE Energy website at http://www.dteenergy.com/ .
Note: Milwaukee Gas Light Company, another subsidiary of American Light & Traction, also has a company history on this site as well as a deal book in the Lehman Collection. In addition, the deal book includes maps of the Michigan Consolidated Gas Company's pipelines and service areas in 1970.

CARSON, Calif. – LA Galaxy rookie Rafael Garcia is still learning the right back position and during the club's 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur, the midfielder turned outside back received the lesson of a lifetime.
In his 45 minute stint against Tottenham, the rookie from Cal-State Northridge was matched up against the likes of Gareth Bale and Aaron Lennon, who orchestrated the Spurs attack as they pushed for the go-ahead goal. Despite having just a handful of appearances at the position under his belt, Garcia did not shy away from the challenge as he helped the Galaxy defense grind out a draw against the English Premier League club.
Garcia's thoughts are below...
(On being out there against top players…)
GARCIA: "It's a great experience. Going up against Bale was certainly not easy and then going up against Lennon too. It certainly was not easy, but I gave my all and I like to think that I did pretty well."
(On settling into outside back…)
GARCIA: "It's not my natural position, but when you get the opportunity, you need to learn how to adapt quickly, but it was good for me. I enjoyed my time there."
(On what Bruce Arena has told him about playing as an outside back…)
GARCIA: "For me, it's all about getting minutes. I'll do it any position so for me it was a good experience and any position that he wants to play me, I'll be happy to contribute."
(On how the rookies performed in the second half…)
GARCIA: "You know, I thought we did pretty well at times. They got in behind us a few times, but I thought we defended well overall and we had maybe one or two chances, but against a team like that if you get one or two chances then you take them. One thing about the young guys is that we're trying to prove ourselves and any chances we get we're going out there and we're fighting till the end."

Microsoft Says Any Botnet Can be Decapitated, Destroyed
Jason Mick
July 10, 2011 2:20 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Microsoft blasted recent claims that the new TDL-4 botnet was indestructible. No botnet is impervious to decapitating C&C takedowns and a concerted attack, it states.
(Source: Google Images)
Company points to takedown of "indestructible" Rustock, Waledac as case studies in how to kill a tough botnet
Today, networks of malware infected computers called "botnets" are controlled by malicious masters to spread spam and orchestrate takedown attacks across the internet. The botnets are growing very, very well crafted, leading some to suggest that they may be "indestructible".
In response to one such claim by Dell Inc. (
) SecureWorks research Joe Stewart, who said that the
TDL-4 botnet was "pretty much indestructible"
, the senior attorney with Microsoft Corp.'s (
) Digital Crime Unit argued that claim is false and that any botnet is destructible.
Richard Boscovich comments in
an interview
, "If someone says that a botnet is indestructible, they are not being very creative legally or technically. To say that it can't be done underestimates the ability of the good guys. People seem to be saying that the bad guys are smarter, better. But the answer to that is 'no.'"
TDL-4 will certainly be a tough. The malware has infected 4.5 million PCs thus far, and embeds a rootkit deep in the hard drive, in the master boot record. The malware removes other pieces of malware found on the machine to avoid detection. And it uses peer-to-peer connections to update its list of command and control (C&C) servers, safeguarding the botnet from takedown of C&C servers.
However, Microsoft takes major issue with the idea that TDL-4 is indestructible. After all, Microsoft already killed a botnet called "Waledac" that used similar peer-to-peer updates. Waledac, known for sending up to 1.5 billion pieces of spam daily, was decapitated in February 2010 when a court order allowed Microsoft to cut off
276 domains associated with the botnet
Microsoft also used additional undisclosed measures (perhaps denial of service attacks) to make sure the peer-to-peer network was fully dead and unable to update the C&C information.
In March, with help from Microsoft, federal agents raided a hosting company, seizing servers responsible for the Rustock botnet. With the botnet brains decapitated, the botnet effectively died, taking half of spam in the U.S. with it. And in April Microsoft and federal authorities successfully
killed the 10-year-old "Coreflood" botnet
via a similar C&C decapitation approach.
Mr. Boscovich comments, "[Waledac] was a proof of concept that showed we are able to poison the peer-to-peer table of a botnet. Each takedown is different, each one is complicated in its own way. Each one is going to be different, but that doesn't mean that there cannot be a way to do this with any botnet."
Symantec security researcher Sergey Golovanod says the botnet is "practically indestructible." He remarks, "[TDL-4 is] the most sophisticated threat today."
However, even Dell backed off somewhat from their initial remarks, with a SecureWorks spokesperson saying this week, "Since mid-March 2011, Dell SecureWorks' CTU [Counter Threat Unit] research team has seen a significant decline in the number of attempted Rustock attacks, and we do attribute it to the comprehensive efforts of Microsoft."
Indeed Alex Lanstein, a senior engineer with FireEye, a security organization who worked with Microsoft on the takedowns says cooperation between Microsoft, other companies, and U.S. law enforcement agencies has proved integral to creating combined assaults capable of bringing down tough botnets. He states, "It's the trust relationships Microsoft has created and I think [the technique] speaks to any malware infrastructure where some kind of data feed exists. It really, really works. With the Rustock takedown, Microsoft has built the framework for others to do the same. This is definitely not the last botnet we're going to go after."
So, TDL-4 may be tough -- but "indestructible"? Not so much.
"We don't know how to make a $500 computer that's not a piece of junk." -- Apple CEO Steve Jobs

Climate-hit fisheries 'can still meet demand in 2050'
Fish catches will need to increase by only 3.4 per cent to meet global dietary demand in 2050, according to a study predicting how climate change will affect marine ecosystems.
The authors warn that achieving this will require the wider implementation of sustainable harvesting, such as technological developments to reduce dependence on wild stock for farmed fish feed, and more-effective distribution of wild fish products from regions with a surplus to those with a deficit.
This means that changes in the effectiveness of fisheries' management and trade practices will remain the main influence on whether global fish production rises or falls, concludes the study published in Nature Climate Change last month (23 February).
The study developed and linked models of physical, biological and human responses to climate change in the fisheries of 67 countries, chosen because they are responsible for around 60 per cent of global fish catches.
Although some fishery-dependent nations in Africa, along the western coast from Benin north to Mauritania, are set to benefit from climate change, most tropical nations are not, it found.
Those in South and South-East Asia, off southwest Africa and Peru, and around some small tropical island states are forecast to experience the biggest falls in potential fish production, according to the paper.
"In the tropics, and up to 40 per cent drop in fisheries production is estimated," Manuel Barange, lead author and science director of the UK-based Plymouth Marine Laboratory, tells SciDev.Net.
"Many species in these regions are limited by nutrients and physiological limits to growth. A warming ocean means that species will be metabolically under stress, with less energy going to growth and reproduction. As these regions are, in general, more sensitive and vulnerable to fisheries changes, we expect the consequences of climate change to be more dramatic," he says.
"We need flexible and adaptive management systems that recognise the changing paradigm: marine ecosystems are not stable, and climate change will make them even more unstable," Barange says.
Peru has the world's largest anchovy fishery, so the country was an essential part of the analysis, according to Barange. "We predict a decline in fish production there," he says. He adds that the study uses geographical scales small enough to allow estimates of changes in the intensity of the upwelling of cold, nutrient-rich water that supports anchovy production.

|Spring gathering
Date Climbed: May 5, 2012
|Awesome, I went to the 14er dot com spring gathering where I met a lot of friends some of who I hiked later that summer. Still some snow in the mountain, I did the loop Horn-Fluted-Little Horn and it was surprisingly difficult class 3 on Little Horn. I descended trhrough a gully to the south to avoid the difficult ridge and got into postholing nightmare.

|West ridge from Fluted
Date Climbed: Aug 22, 2009
|Combined Little Horn with Horn & Fluted, which made for a nice ridge run with some optional class 3 scrambling. I revisited Little Horn after a winter climb in a light snow storm afforded no views.

|Dry Creek Loop
Date Climbed: Jul 19, 2009
|Left the Dry Creek Trail to gain the NE ridge in the trees. Nice scrambling on the upper part of the ridge and great views. Continued around the cirque over Fluted and Horn before descending the Horn Peak Trail back to the trailhead.

Date Climbed: Feb 11, 2008
|I agree with Sarah, Little Horn makes for a safe winter ascent. Some nice scrambling on bomber rock as well.

|NE Ridge, fine winter scramble
Date Climbed: Jan 28, 2007
|We gained the NE ridge shortly after leaving the Horn Creek TH (at 9700 ft) since we weren't sure how avy conditions on the steeper slopes would be. The snowy ridge required some minor scrambling, but was straightforward. We continued along the ridge to Fluted and this section was harder, 3rd or easy 4th class with snow. The traverse took several hours. Descended south from the saddle between the two (snow conditions were stable and ideal for glissading). Followed the Horn Creek Trail back to the TH.

As far as we all know ESP is abbreviation of Electric Sounds Products.
But one thing always provided a challenge to me: is LTD an abbreviation?
If it so, what from?
In Russia the mostly accepted version is that LTD means Limited.
It based on "limited capabilities" of LTD guitars in comparison with ESP.
Do you have some ideas about it?
I remember reading somewhere years ago the it stands for Limited Tailored Design....not sure how accurate it is but fits.
I love my Ltds dude ;) what's in a name? ;) I wouldn't say they are limited in what they can do in comparison to an ESP tho, you can still play the same notes, get similar tonal qualities etc :) However let the flaming commense :D x
Well, the first thing that came to my mind was "Limited". But I do not think that this fine company would give its B-brand such a dumb name, which is normally given to describe companies... :D


text: Best? I'll be a little different and say Lord High Chancellor Adam Sutler, not to mention his amoral right-hand-man Mr. Creedy, in V for Vendetta. I love John Hurt's performance. He commands the screen even though he doesn't do much besides appear on a giant viewscreen and bark orders to his underlings. Still, it's John-fucking-Hurt!

Dominic Purcell's version of Dracula in Blade Trinity is both one of the worst comic book movies ever and one of the worst Draculas ever (tied with Richard Roxburgh's godawful whiner in Van Helsing).

Disorder of written expression is a childhood condition that involves poor writing skills.
Written expression disorder
Although no studies have been conducted to determine how common this disorder is, it is thought to be about as common as learning and reading disorders.
This disorder appears by itself or along with other learning disabilities, such as:
Other causes of learning disabilities must be ruled out before the diagnosis can be confirmed.
Remedial education is the best approach to this type of disorder.
The degree of recovery depends on the severity of the disorder. Marked improvement is often seen after treatment.
Parents who are concerned about their child's language ability should have their child tested by educational professionals.
Learning disorders often run in families. Affected or potentially affected families should make every effort to recognize problems early. Intervention can begin as early as preschool or kindergarten.

It is fairly easy to understand why CeeLo Green would not play an aerial piano in his stage show at Planet Hollywood's "Peepshow" theater. The rigging required to send a piano high above the stage, accompanied by a piano-playing artist, is not an inexpensive proposition.
If you are looking to maximize what you are spending on a Strip production, "Aerial Piano" would be in the folder marked, "Luxury Items." So CeeLo is not resurrecting his soaring performance from the 2011 Billboard Music Awards at MGM Grand Garden Arena.
But it is far more difficult to fathom why CeeLo is not playing a piano at all in his Vegas production. The show is called "Loberace," a mix of CeeLo's own onstage handle and Liberace, who was one of the greatest and most famous piano players of any era. CeeLo, too, knows his way around the piano quite well, whether airborne or grounded. But the only keyboard played onstage in "Loberace" is by an animatronic gorilla wearing a gold lame tux.
If we're evoking the imagery of Liberace, can't we roll a Steinway, or some variation thereof, to the stage?
There was also a hint that CeeLo would be backed by a live band during these shows. He hinted at that, pretty directly, in an interview the week before the show, saying, "We're going to have dancers and live musicians. We're taking a page out of the old Vegas playbook."
That page was folded into a paper airplane, apparently, as CeeLo's contention is only half-right. A lineup of 10 dancers — and they are beautiful, tightly choreographed dancers — populate the stage. But the music is tracked, or canned, whichever term suits. It ain't live.
These questions bear examination for a show that was highly anticipated and heavily hyped. CeeLo's appearance with a flaming piano on the Strip (the last time he has been seen with a piano on the Strip, actually) indicated the show would be an over-the-top experience with some really big "wow" moments.
If you expected that type of show — and no one could question why you wouldn't — CeeLo's performances are disappointing. He appears in a series of production numbers, wearing costumes that seem hot, uncomfortable and even ill fitting (he walks out in a black-leather suit fitted with what is either a small cape or large wings, and also wears a loosely-conforming suit of sequins that is opened at the neck).
In a moment that has fans still a bit mystified, he brings out a Boy George impressionist in the first 15 minutes of the show, asking the question on everyone's minds, "What the (heck) does Boy George have to do with anything? Well, I , love Boy George."
True, a lot of people love Boy George. A lot of people love Cher, too. That's why we have "Legends" shows, right? The first word about "Loberace" I heard was from someone I consider an expert on entertainment, in Vegas or anywhere else. What was conveyed: No piano playing. No live musicians. Boy George impersonator.
It also doesn't help forge a party vibe that the show starts at 11 p.m. but is often pushed back to 11:30 or later (11:35 the night I attended) for the changeover from the "Peepshow" set. Waiting in a theater lobby for several minutes is, how you say, boring. You don't want the crowd walking in yawning when they are about to watch a show that relies heavily on a party atmosphere.
Questions abound. Before making a take on what I witnessed at Planet Hollywood back in the show's opening week, I asked Larry Mestel, chief executive of CeeLo's management company, Primary Wave Music, and the executive producer of "Loberace" about some of the decisions that led to the show at Planet Hollywood.
There is no band because, in this show, there is no room for a band. There is space for 10 dancers and a series of set pieces that include a fancy spiral staircase and another set of steps used for an extensive dance scene. "When we got to the point of the schematics of the stage, we had some numbers that had 10 dancers, some eight and some four. When we had the full complement of dancers, we had absolutely no stage room."
Mestel then asked, "Have you ever been on that stage? It is not as big as it seems."
As a matter of fact, yes. I've stood on the stage a few times, most memorably during a photo shoot about four years ago, in the weeks before Holly Madison took over the lead role in "Peepshow." At the time, "Peepshow" featured a full band that was set on a riser above the show's many rotating set pieces. That all-women ensemble was eventually removed from the stage in favor of tracks (a financial, not artistic, decision).
But there is room on the stage for six or eight players, if you really want that. Even the ill-fated "Surf The Musical" found a way to incorporate live music by seating the players beneath the stage. That is not an ideal way to present a band, no, but it was better than trying to put on a musical with piped-in music.
However, as Mestel said, "We could not find a way, short of putting the band in the VIP area (at the front of the stage), to have a band. One of the things we wanted to do, that we that was more important, was have a full stage production and have room for the sets. A six-piece band takes up a ton of space, and we realized this during the Christmas shows (when CeeLo appeared at Planet Hollywood with Rod Stewart, showgirls and a star lineup of Muppets) and we chose the dancers."
Thus, CeeLo's show is spiced with his own familiar hits, most notably "Bright Lights Bigger City," "Fool For You," "Crazy," "(Forget) You," and his take on the song recorded by The Pussycat Dolls, "Don't Cha." He writes catchy tunes and also picks his covers cleverly, with INXS' "Need You Tonight" and Stewart's "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" But again, absent live music, this is akin to watching superstar karaoke with a bevy of babes helping sell the songs.
The dancers are terrific, the highlight of the show. But why isn't CeeLo, who rightfully describes himself as a music artist as well as a showman, at least playing a piano during this residency?
"That's a good question, and we talked about it," Mestel said. "The way the choreography and show worked out, the numbers fit well back-to-back-to-back and it is a really sexy show. In other iterations of the show, we will include it. It's a very valid point."
Particularly when the show embraces Liberace, one of the greatest showmen ever to play the Strip. But his image is to be felt in a general sort of way. It's a far more implied sense than more something as obvious as, say, rolling out a Liberace impersonator after Boy George is finished.
"I think from CeeLo's perspective, when he notes the name and image, it's the flamboyance and over-the-top showmanship he's bringing back," Mestel said. "It's the bright, big wardrobe. That's the mark of what CeeLo is doing, rather than the literal interpretation."
Mestel talks of the show being in residency at Planet Hollywood through 2014, that he and hotel officials have had "very, very preliminary conversations" about a longer run. This is a far-off concept, trust me. But already officials have announced CeeLo will return this year after his current set of 28 performances ending April 13 plays out.
The man's heart is definitely in the right place. He's famous and gifted and a lot of fun to watch. There is plenty of time to tweak. Hopefully, CeeLo will get back under the lid and tune this instrument, as any great pianist would.

Hi Gang
Wondering if there's an original owner in our community who can confirm if my Speedo is compatible with FD
Speedo on my R60/5 is a bit optimistic. I recently had the instrument serviced but my resource forgot to ask for my FD number and the idea of providing it to him wasn't on my radar screen.
W=1155 and # on FD is 37/11
One other question: in the 60-70 mph range, the speedo needle "wags" just a bit - is this normal for this instrument? Tach needle is more stable - since instrument was serviced, was wondering if the speedo cable might be kaput.

Matt Cecil '12 Honored with National Journalism Award
May 1, 2013
Matthew W. Cecil, a 2012 graduate of DePauw University, is the recipient of a national Mark of Excellence Award from the Society of Professional Journalists, for work he did as a student journalist for The DePauw. National Mark of Excellence Award winners are chosen from the first-place category winners in each of SPJ's 12 regions, and the awards are judged by professionals with at least three years of journalism experience.
Cecil, the former editor-in-chief of The DePauw, was a National Finalist in the category "General News Reporting" in the small schools division, made up of institutions with fewer than 5,000 students. A political science major, Media Fellow and Honor Scholar at DePauw, after graduation Matt Cecil served as campaign manager for a candidate for Indiana State Representatives. He is now a student at the University of Missouri School of Law.
The 2012 contest received more than 4,600 entries.
"The awards honor the best in student journalism," notes SPJ, which was founded in 1909 by students at DePauw University as Sigma Delta Chi. "As such, judges were directed to choose only those entries which they felt were outstanding work worthy of a national honor. If the judges determined that none of the entries rose to the level of excellence, no award was given. Any category not listed has no winner."
A list of winners is available here.
Last month, The DePauw collected ten "Best of the Best in Indiana" awards -- including 5 first-place citations -- from the Society of Professional Journalists. The publication and its staff were also honored with seven 2012 Society of Professional Journalists Region 5 Mark of Excellence Awards. DePauw's student newspaper won a total of 26 awards -- including twelve first place honors and recognition as Division III Newspaper of the Year -- at the Indiana Collegiate Press Association's annual awards program.Back

By: Roseann
I recently came across a brief interview in Indie Magazine with Berlin Designer Paula Immich. The interview was regarding a recent collection called "Mit Haut und Haar" (i.e. "with skin and hair"). In this collection Immich used flocks of hair in seams and collars. Sounds Bizarre right, however the effect is quite whimsical. Her collection got me thinking about material and how so often we are used to seeing them manipulated and used in only one or two different ways. Take chainette fringe, it has been used in such a costumie way, I always think flapper or Vegas every time I lay my eyes on it. So I decided to do a DIY Paula Immich using chainette fringe, although I live in NYC I still don't know if I can pull of wearing synthetic hair around my shoulders. Boring, I know.
- I T-shirt
- 1 yard Chainette Fringe, I used a 12" (available by calling 1-800-9-mjtrim) style # 06012-BK. For a less dramatic look a 6" in recommended.
- Sewing machine
- Thread, ruler, scissors, pencil
- Fist locate where the bust point would exist on the T-shirt and mark from the inside with a pencil.
- Find the center point of your shoulder seam and mark a straight line from the bust point to the center marking of the shoulder.
- Measure how long this line is and subtract that measurement from 20.
- Using the measurement found above, find center back of the neckline and measure down mark with a pin. Now measure from the pin 3" to each side and draw a line from that mark to shoulder center.
- Cut along this line.
- Cut the 1 yard of fringe in half, careful not to let it fray and pull apart. It helps if you tape the edges.
- Starting 1" from the beginning of the cut pin the fringe between the two pieces. The fringe should be short 1" on each side.
- Now stitch together. Basically here we are creating a bust and back dart in one, so you want to start and end with a slight diagonal so that the intake transitions smoothly with the rest of the t.
- Wear and enjoy.

Li Ka-Shing's Empire Swallows Australia's Cheetham Salt
Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-Shing has taken a bite out of the Asia-Pacific salt market.
CK Life Sciences International, part of Mr. Li's Cheung Kong Group, has struck a 150 million Australian dollar (US$157 million) cash deal to acquire the Cheetham Salt business of Australia-listed Ridley Corp.
Established in 1888, Cheetham Salt is Australia's largest producer and refiner of solar salt products through the operation of 10 solar salt fields and three refineries in Australia. The company is poised to become one of the largest producers in Southeast Asia following the construction of a state-backed 2,000 hectare salt field in south Indonesia. It already operates a refinery near Indonesia's deepest sea port in West Java.

Upside Down Doubleheader
Win some, lose some…the Phillies could not have done so today in a more upside down fashion. Two games; two very different results:
Game 1
Vance Worley made his first start in the majors today against the Marlins and did a pretty good job. Certainly it was good enough to de-throne Kyle Kendrick from the 5th starters spot. Kendrick has been awful and the Phillies pitching coach, Rich Dubee, was really upset about his performance yesterday. Worley went 5 innings and allowed 2 runs; he was only pulled after 5 because the offense was sleeping and Charlie Manuel put in a pinch hitter. Worley did his job; the offense did not.
The Phils offense had just 1 hit through 8 innings and that was a Brian Schneider single in the 2nd. They were facing another pitcher making his starting debut, Adalberto Mendez. Rather than beat up on the rookie, the Phillies swung at junk and popped up balls that were right down the middle. They made a first-timer look like a Cy Young winner.
Just as disgusting as the offense was sloppy play in the field. Raul Ibanez made two very bad throws in the 1st inning. Later in the game, Placido Polanco watched a Dan Uggla double sail past him down the 3rd base line. That was just a good hit. But later, with Uggla at the plate again, Polanco was playing off the line…again. Result? Same thing; a double down the line. Why was Polanco playing off the line when he had just gotten burned there in Uggla's last at bat? Ugh.
A lot about this game was inexplicable, much like the Phillies magical vanishing offense all year long. When you see this team play like this, it makes you wonder how they have stayed in the NL East race all year.
There were some other revelations in the last few days as well. Clearly, Mike Zagurski is not going to make it in the Bigs. This kid has been up, down, multiple injuries, up and down again and today, with yet another chance to show what he has, he failed miserably. 3 runs allowed on 2 hits and a walk…it was bad. Scott Mathieson did the same thing yesterday when he walked 2 batters and showed a serious lack of control. I feel for these guys, but maybe the Phillies need to move on?
Ok, so let's see if they are still asleep for game two…
Game Two
Oh, here are the bats! Game 2 was the polar opposite of Game 1. Much like a mental patient suffering from multiple personality disorder, the Phillies played two totally different games today. The Game 2 persona is certainly the one Phillies fans would like to see more of.
A five run 2nd inning got this game off to a good start. Jimmy Rollins, batting from the 5-hole, led off the inning with a single. Raul Ibanez followed his lead and then Domonic Brown walked. With the bases loaded, Carlos Ruiz worked out a walk for an easy RBI. Later that same inning with 2 outs, Placido Polanco hit a 2-run double and then Chase Utley singled to score Polanco.
It was a very upside down kind of day for Utley. He did not have a hit in the first game, but for Game 2, Utley racked up 2 hits, 2 RBI and he was also hit by a pitch. Brown got a rare start as Jayson Werth was rested and he managed to work out 2 walks. But having sat on the bench for a while, Brown looks rusty. Hopefully, this start will get him back into the "swing" of things.
Starting the game was pitcher Roy Oswalt who had some issues with the long ball. He allowed 3 homers for 4 runs in the first 5 innings. This seems to be a "Roy" issue this week; Roy Halladay gave up 4 runs on 4 homers on Saturday against the Brewers. Luckily, the Phillies bats were heating up tonight to bail Oswalt out of trouble, as they also did on Saturday for Halladay.
With a 7-4 lead, Ryan Madson took care of the 8th inning after JC Romero walked the first batter. Brad Lidge pitched the 9th and recorded the save! Lidge has been super lately…keep it up, Brad!
Tomorrow night at 7:05pm, Joe Blanton will pitch in game 3 of this series with the Fish. The Braves lost today so with one win and one loss today, the Phillies are 1/2 game behind them in the NL East.

Stars' Jamie Benn's sharp words prove he has leadership qualities
Jamie Benn typically shies away from controversy in front of the camera, but he was mad Saturday.
So when the Stars center delivered some sharp words about an 8-1 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks, people took note. Maybe the 23-year-old really does have leadership qualities after all.
"He shows more and more leadership every day," captain Brenden Morrow said. "And I think that was an example of it."
Benn's interviews are often quiet, and teammates say he does have a quiet side. However, he also has a funny side and an intense side.
"He's already shown it to us. You [media] guys will have to pry it out of him," coach Glen Gulutzan said. "His shots are subtle, but they're there. He's not blowing fumes out like a volcano, but you can tell when he's upset, and he does say things then."
Gulutzan coached Benn in 2010 when Benn had 26 points in 24 games and helped lead the Texas Stars to the AHL finals. He said that even then Benn was a leader.
"He's engaged in the winning practice. He'll do what it takes to win," Gulutzan said. "So if takes fighting [Joe] Thornton, he'll do it. If it takes speaking up, he'll do it."
Benn said that he understands the importance of a strong public presence before the cameras, but he said that it's more important what happens behind closed doors.
"It's part of the game, and I'm getting used to it, but talking to the media is a different thing," he said. "When you talk to your teammates, I don't think you're worried, you speak from the heart. That's what I do, I think. It's just a lot different."
And he said a big part of his job is leading.
"I definitely think I'm learning," he said. "Brenden is a great example for everyone, and now we've got [Jaromir] Jagr and [Ray] Whitney. We've had some great leaders here, and I consider myself a leader. I'm learning, but I see it as a part of my job."

Nats finalize 25-man roster
Estrada sent to DL; four others headed to Triple-A
By Bill Ladson / MLB.com
The moves mean that left-hander Matt Chico will be the fourth starter in the rotation, Aaron Boone will be one of the backup infielders, Willie Harris and Rob Mackowiak will be the extra outfielders and right-hander Joel Hanrahan will be the seventh man in the bullpen.
Putting Estrada, who has been bothered by a sore elbow, on the DL was not a surprise, especially since he didn't play his first Minor League game until Tuesday. He is expected to be activated in two weeks. Jesus Flores will be the backup catcher for the time being and then be sent to Double-A Harrisburg when Estrada is activated.
Of the four that were sent to the Minor Leagues, Lannan and Orr had great springs.
Lannan was a strong candidate to be in the rotation. He had a 2.45 ERA in four starts, and some members of the think tank wanted Lannan to be in the rotation, according to a source. But loyalty won out for Chico. Manager Manny Acta and pitching coach Randy St. Claire respected the fact that Chico was the team's only pitcher who never missed a turn while he was in the big leagues last year.
What also helped Chico was that he improved his pitching as the spring wore on. He went back to a high-leg kick, which added extra velocity to his fastball. Acta didn't rule out Lannan pitching for the big club on April 13 against the Braves. Right-hander Shawn Hill might not be ready to pitch if he continues to have right forearm problems.
"The Lannan situation -- he understands [what's going on]," Acta said. "He might be here pretty soon, depending on what happens with Shawn Hill. It's a sign of progress. It gives us a chance not to rush anybody and give those guys time to develop."
Even Lannan said last week that Chico deserved to be in the rotation
"Chico was the workhorse last year," Lannan said. "Whoever they pick deserves it. They are all great pitchers. I don't even look at numbers. He went out there and had a good year. Last year, he was [almost] in the same boat as I was. He never pitched above Double-A. Given that, I thought he threw pretty well. He deserves to be up there."

Orr went 13-for-36 (.389), but he knew going into Spring Training that he didn't have a chance to make the roster.
"Pete Orr had a very good Spring Training, but it's a numbers deal," Acta said. "We like Willie Harris and what he brings to the table. He did a very good job for us in Spring Training."
Hanrahan, who is out of options, was arguably the biggest surprise in camp. He appeared to be a long shot to make the team, but Acta decided to put him in the bullpen, and he flourished in the role. Hanrahan didn't give up a run in 12 innings and struck out 14 batters.
His best game came against the Braves on March 11, when he fanned eight batters over three innings.
Schroder, who had a great season out of the bullpen last year, was a victim of the numbers game.
"Our last two moves on the pitching staff are going to be unfortunate because they should both be on the team," general manager Jim Bowden said, before announcing that Lannan and Schroder were demoted. "But they will be here in a short time. Within a couple of weeks probably. That part is difficult. It doesn't make you feel good. It's not that they don't understand, because they do. It's still unfair."
Boone, Harris, Mackowiak all proved this spring that they could be valuable backups. Boone can play the entire infield, while Harris can play seven positions. Harris and Mackowiak most likely will split time as the fourth outfielder.
Meanwhile, the Nationals will take six extra players to Washington, D.C., to participate in the exhibition game against the Orioles on Saturday. Langerhans, Orr, Schroder, Garrett Mock, Wil Nieves and Mike O'Conner will be part of the group before going back to the Minors after the game.

Carlos Beltran Turns Heel
By Steve Keane at 4 September, 2012, 10:59 am
He used to be a "baby face" but after he turned in Andres Torres for missing 1st base, Beltran is now a "heel"
The story today would have been much bigger if the Mets were fighting for a post season berth, but still the appeal at first base yesterday that Andres Torres missed the bag on his way to lead off double putting the tying run on 2nd base was an absolute joke on a number of ends.
From the replay, it looks as if Torres heel hit the bag which is why first base umpire David Rackley, a rookie umpire by the way, call was puzzling to begin with. I wonder if the game was at Citi Field would have made the same call, and how about Carlos Beltran making the call on the appeal????
The reaction or non-reaction by Torres and first base coach Tom Goodwin was more troublesome to me than the call by Rackley, Torres didn't flip out and neither did Goodwin, even if he did miss the bag, that was a crucial moment in the game, a game that Colin McHugh struggled in and a game, the play out the string Mets, showed some fight in coming back from a 4-0 deficit on home runs from Kelly Shoppach and Daniel Murphy , you would think either player or coach would have gone ballistic? At least Terry Collins came out to fight the call.
I hope Terry Collins has seen the light and lets Kelly Shoppach catch every non-R.A. Dickey start.
Welcome back Wally Backman. Backman along with seven of his Bison (OF'er Fred Lewis, LHP Justin Hampson, RHP Elvin Rameirz , RHP Jenrry Mejia, RHP Jeury's Familia, pain in the ass Jordany Valdespin, and last and least C Mike Nickeas) have been added to the Mets roster for the last month of the season .
I was out at MCU Park last night, sitting in the intermittent drizzle to watch the Brooklyn Cyclones get within one win of making the NY-Penn League post season as the Wild Card team. A few observations:
RHP Luis Cessa pitched a fantastic game, he game within one out of a complete game victory, something quite rare in low A. Cesa only K'd two batters but he got a lot of ground ball outs.
MCU Park has to be one of tougher parks to hit home runs out of. Yesterday the wind was blowing in briskly from the Atlantic Ocean, so anything up in the air wasn't going out of the park. In fact there was a ball hit high in the air that Lowell 3rd baseman called for at his position but ended up running down the line and making the play at home plate. That's brisk baby.
RF Miakis De La Cruz made a sensational throw from the right field corner to nail a Lowell runner at the plate. By the way Kevin Plawecki did a great job blocking the plate.
Speaking of Plawecki, he had 3 hits and a Rib Eye Steak in the game, not that there is much competition but Plawecki has to be the best catcher in the Mets org not named Kelly Shoppach.
Brandon Nimo had a hit and looked very smooth in CF on the night that his poster was the Cyclone giveaway.

Summaries of EU Legislation
Summaries of EU legislation: direct access to the main summaries page.
- Archived: true
The Court of Auditors, the Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions
The role of the Court of Auditors as a Community institution has been enhanced:
- it is now included in Article 5 (ex Article E) of the EU Treaty;
- it has been given the right to bring actions before the Court of Justice for the purpose of protecting its prerogatives, under Article 230 of the EC Treaty (ex Article 173).
Its powers as a watchdog and investigator have been increased so that more effective steps can be taken to combat fraud to the detriment of the Community budget. It must notify any irregularity in Community revenue or expenditure to the European Parliament and the Council. For this purpose it has been given powers to audit the accounts of external bodies managing Community funds, including the European Investment Bank (EIB).
In the performance of its duties the Court of Auditors may require any relevant documents or information to be produced and may conduct audits "on the spot in the other institutions of the Community, on the premises of any body which manages revenue or expenditure on behalf of the Community and in the Member States, including on the premises of any natural or legal person in receipt of payments from the budget" (Article 248(3)).
In the case of the EIB the Court of Auditors has access to the information needed for the audit of Community expenditure and revenue managed by the Bank. Its rights of access will be governed by an agreement between the Court, the Bank and the Commission (such an agreement already existed, and a Declaration invites the three institutions concerned to maintain it in force).
In addition to this increase in the powers of the Court of Auditors, Article 248 (ex Article 188c) calls for close cooperation between the Court and national audit bodies.
Furthermore, the statement of assurance provided by the Court as to the reliability of accounts and the legality and regularity of the underlying transactions is to be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
Consultation of the Economic and Social Committee is mandatory on a wider range of topics. The new areas of the EC Treaty on which the Economic and Social Committee must first be consulted are:
- the guidelines and incentives for employment (Articles 128 and 129);
- the social legislation resulting from the agreements reached by management and labour (Articles 136 to 143);
- implementation of the principle of equal opportunities (Article 141);
- public health (Article 152).
The Economic and Social Committee may also be consulted by the European Parliament if the latter deems such consultation appropriate.
The administrative structure of the Economic and Social Committee is now separate from that of the Committee of the Regions. The Protocol to the EC Treaty providing for a common organisational structure has been repealed.
The Committee of the Regions must be consulted in the following additional areas:
- the areas listed above for the Economic and Social Committee;
- the environment (Article 175);
- the Social Fund (Article 148);
- vocational training (Article 150) ;
- cross-border cooperation (first paragraph of Article 265);
- transport (Articles 71 and 80).
The Committee may also be consulted by the European Parliament on other matters.
Like the Economic and Social Committee, the Committee of the Regions now has its own separate administrative structure. Similarly, it may draw up its own rules of procedure without requiring the unanimous approval of the Council, as was required before.

Russell Hoban, a Pennsylvanian who lived most of his life in London, was born in 1925 and died in 2011, leaving behind a wondrous collection of sixteen novels for adults and even more for children. Hoban's Turtle Diary—in which two aloof, single Londoners conspire to free sea turtles from the zoo—was reissued last year and should be required reading for anyone who lives alone, feels alone, or may one day reckon with loneliness. It's endlessly quotable, and not in the cheap, aphoristic way that people sometimes mean when they say "endlessly quotable"—Hobanisms do not belong on tea bags or T-shirts, or even necessarily in Bartlett's. It's more that the whole novel demands to be read aloud, ideally to an audience of one. It might be most fitting, actually, if you read it aloud to yourself. Here are two of the novel's many delightful "turtle thoughts":
The sign said: "The Green Turtle, Chelonia mydas, is the source of turtle soup … " I am the source of William G. soup if it comes to that. Everyone is the source of his or her kind of soup.
I think of the turtles swimming steadily against the current all the way to Ascension. I think of them swimming through all that golden-green water over the dark, over the chill of the deeps and the jaws of the dark. And I think of the sun over the water, the sun through the water, the eye holding the sun, being held by it with no thought and only the rhythm of the going, the steady wing-strokes of the flippers in the water. Then it doesn't seem hard to believe. It seems the only way to do it, the only way in fact to be: swimming, swimming, the eye held by the sun, no sharks in the mind, nothing in the mind.
