Is linux getting worse? ( troll )
yes yes this is a troll - i don't care :P
I don't use linux much ... and in fact i haven't used it in about 2 years but unfortunately been required in the last week or two to do some poking.
I don't understand what people see in linux, bloody colours everywhere.
Can't do an 'ls' without colours
Can't view a man page without some really weird formatting and colours
What ever happened to the back on white / white on black plain terminal ?
Is all this to 'convert' windows users to a nice pretty command line?
argh is all i can say ... ARGH!!!
edit: I'd just like to correct the above '%s/linux/GNU\/Linux/g'

Some of the defaults seem aimed at the newer users.
That colored ls is in your profile, .bash_profile if you took the defaults, or possibly .bashrc. You can always turn it off with ls --color=no.
As for me, I find they can be convenient, but not that green they use for executables, so I change that. I believe you copy /etc/DIR_COLORS to your $HOME directory, and then you can mess around with it. in a typical 24 line xterm, doing pgedown twice should get you to the part you'd want to change. Oh, in your $HOME directory, you call .dir_colors
Actually, I rather liked the colours from ls on Debian Sarges bash setup out of the box hehe.
With few exceptions I'm not very found of most GNU, programs, primary toolkit, licensing terms, or coding standards.
Linux on the other hand.. The kernel is not perfect but it's still better then some of the PHP/HTML sludge I've encountered code wise.

Now let me get this straight. Corey_James comes onto a BSD forum and writes that he prefers BSD to Linux. Sigh, he can't even troll correctly.....
I better shut up as I might have some postfix questions in the near future.
Corey James is great--a credit to these forums. (He has a short attention span, so he'll only notice the last lines.)
hahah yeah you're right
it's not just BSD, solaris doesn't do all this colourisation and bs to make things 'pretty'. I just don't see the point!

Seriously, I believe BSD has options for it--yup, in FreeBSD it's ls -G. It can be handy if you're in a hurry, I just don't like the default colors, at least in RH based systems.
I *think* (I don't know about Solaris) that it's actually an option and some flavors of Linux put in the skel files. Yup, I see that it's an alias put in by default. If you type alias you'll see it. So unset it in the .bash_profile or .bashrc. (Assuming you haven't changed the default shell.)
The problem with the default colors with most of the GNU tools is that they only work on a black background, on a white background some text is unreadable.
And the default background color of xterm is white (Except on Linux ofcourse, where "distro developers" feel the need to change the defaults for 3rd party software...)
GNU ls has the "--color" option, which is the same as the -G option on FreeBSD ... Maybe some systems enable it by default through some alias or something? (Messing with defaults again ... *sigh*)
The colors on BSD work well on both a white and black background, although I'm not sure if this is by design or accidental...
Anyway, I don't know if linux is getting worse ... But I do know these threads/rants are getting worse
UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things.
i could make this a LOT worse and start talking about the sym link from /bin/bash to /bin/sh!! hahaha

Thats nothing, many distros tends to have vim besides vi. But vim is actually elvis. I got very disapointed with such game.
In Linux, when launched from the symlink, bash is run with the posix option.
works as
/bin/bash --posix
This is not trivial to me.
da more I know I know I know nuttin'
I agree, the "fisher-price"-isms are just annoying, I mean, Why do people find flashy themes and large coloured text appealing?
Linux isn't getting worse - *BSD is getting better!

I want vi to be vi and vim to be vim - is that too much to ask?!

And the WORD was made flesh, and dwelt among us. (John 1:14)
Slackware and Debian use elvis, most others use vim. RH has vim-enhanced and vim-minimal.
As for bin/sh and POSIX, I'm not sure it's always the case. When I'm ensuring that something is portable, I either ssh into my BSD machine or use dash, created by Debian, I think but avaiable for others, which seems to be closest to sh. For instance sh (in Linux) will support $UID (which is like id -u, gives the UID number) which can mess you up if the script is also going to be used on AIX.
As for me, after the job change, I figured I could either moan about it every day, or get used to it. I'm happier getting used to it.
It's nice to be able to type yum -y update and walk away. (On CentOS, made for the enterprise, not on Fedora--on Fedora, that's like doing portupgrade -a and walking away--you might get away with it and you might not.)
My biggest complaint about RH systems is how Gnome-centric they are--for example, several things, including sound, are tied to ConsoleKit which is a Gnome-ish thing.
I believe vi on FreeBSD is nvi. It really pisses of my vim-loving co-worker that he can't get vim to work the same on FreeBSD as on Linux, and that he can't figure his way around nvi. I just tell him to use ee.
The thing that *really* pisses me off about Linux, though, is the horrible kludges and hacks they have for network configuration. ifconfig for the phsyical wired interfaces, wiconfig for wireless interfaces, wpa_supplicant if you need WPA, brctl for bridged interfaces, tunctl for tun/tap devices, something else for vlan devices, something else for link aggregation, and so on and so on. It's a friggin' mess, to say the least. And if you do things in the wrong order, it can be a royal pain to untangle. Debian at least tries to hide the mess via ifupdown and /etc/network/interfaces, but even that isn't all roses.
Coming from FreeBSD where ifconfig is used to configure network interfaces, and where /etc/rc.conf handles things for boot, trying to do anything beyond "dhclient eth0" on Linux is enough to make you go grey or bald.
And things get even more fun when you try to use Xen. [URGH!!]

I agree with corey_jones on the colorization as I am an old amber (dos) guy an woul rather see casesensitive directory name lke on ye old 16bit doss, my main petpeve with Solaris is lack ox a editor such as pico or nano as they are my two favorite opensourc command lline editors, because the closely emulate the old edit program from IBM dos. Unfortunately nothing I have trued will make them play nicely with Solaris?
Google Linux is a Green Horns Best Friend (GHBF).
Windows = a 32 bit extensions to a 16 bit patch to an 8 bit operating system originally coded for a four bit processor written by 2-bit monopolistic software company founded by a .3-bit Harvard Drop out, who can't stand one respectable bit of competition.
If I believe something to be immoral a will not keep quite and let my voice of annoyance be heard loud and clear.
I think sun have more brains than to put crap like pico or nano on their systems.
Despite what you may think, vi is an important part of unix and if you don't know it you're SEVERELY disadvantaged. It's one thing you can guarantee will be on the OS.
You could always use cat or dd

BackgroundImported cases of leishmaniasis have become more frequent in Europe over the past years due to increased travel to risk areas. Standardized species identification and treatment protocols are warranted to provide the patients with the best possible treatment. The broad availability of PCR allows a rapid determination of species. Each species has a different sensibility to the different antileishmanial drugs. Therefore a species specific treatment approach has been evaluated for many species and is widely applied in many centres recently. As the Leishmania species influences the outcome of systemic treatment parasite species identification is of high clinical relevance. In particular in the setting of travel clinics, where the origin of an infection often cannot be assigned to a specific location, more sophisticated species identification than just the geographical one is required.Currently, treatment recommendations are usually based on data from endemic regions, but travelers could have different treatment responses to antileishmanial drugs than the endemic population with repeated contact to Leishmania parasites. Moreover, more treatment options are available to Western travelers as compared to endemic settings, where high cost and inadequate logistics can be a major problem. Therefore data on the efficacy on specific treatment approach in travellers are needed.Little is known on the frequency and treatment of cutaneous and mucosal leishmaniasis in Switzerland and Europe. Lack of efficacy to one or the other drug may arise. Therefore an international surveillance is necessary to monitor the efficacy of a species-specific treatment. Since the number of patients in Switzerland of each species of cutaneous leishmaniasis is too small, an international surveillance system is necessary.Project GoalImproving treatment of Leishmaniasis based on clinical presentation and molecular species differentiationObjectives
1. Exchange between specialist and harmonisation of treatment recommendations in Europe
2. Surveillance of treatment of cutaneous and mucosal leishmaniasis in Europe
Material and MethodsWe propose to conduct a multi-centre multinational surveillance on leishmaniasis treatment protocols and treatment outcomes analyzed with respect to the infecting parasite species.All patients with parasitological confirmed cutaneous or mucosal leishmaniasis will be included.The clinical data (patient data, country of origin of the lesion, localization and description of the lesion etc) will be assessed in a questionnaire and documented before and after treatment.Each centre uses its own treatment schedules. However, suggestions for treatment guidance based on the recommendations of the participating centres will be offered.The patients will be followed at least until the healing of the lesion. Follow up examinations will be done according to the guidelines of each centre and at least one 1 year after healing.A comparison of all currently applied genotyping techniques is performed and sequence information is systematically collected from all clinical cases as well as from reference strains.For all molecular work an anonymous and unambiguous identifier will be used for each sample so that for final analysis of treatment outcomes the molecular data can be linked to the clinical parameters. Clusters of genotypes will be analyzed with respect to clinical presentation and treatment outcome.Sample size: Among the collaborating laboratories it is anticipated to collect 50-100 samples per year. Shipment of samples: Per year 50-100 extracted DNAs for genotyping will be distributed among members of this network (see complete list attached) for quality control procedures and comparison of typing techniques.If no local culture facility is available, biopsy samples will be shipped from one center to either one of the following four institutions: Ethical considerationsSince diagnostic and treatment approaches follow the national guidelines of each country, there is no ethical concern on treatment and diagnosis.However the patients have to give their informed consent for allowing examinations on their samples and for publishing their anonym data on clinical disease, treatment outcome and laboratory examinations. The patients will be followed at least until the healing of the lesion. Follow up examinations will be done according to the guidelines of each centre and at least one 1 year after healing.OrganizationThe consortium so far consists of 17 participants from 12 institutions from 7 European countries (UK: 3 partner institutions; France: 3 partner institutions; Belgium: 1 partner institution; Germany: 2 partner institutions; Netherlands: 1 partner institution; Switzerland: 1 partner institution; Spain: 1 partner institution).

Darrell E. Issa, Chaiman of the House Oversight and Gov. Reform Committee suspects an effort by the Obama administration to intimidate witnesses from testifying before his House committee regarding the ATF's "Operation Fast and Furious."
The Obama administration sought to intimidate witnesses into not testifying to Congress on Tuesday about whether ATF knowingly allowed weapons, including assault rifles, to be "walked" into Mexico, the chairman of a House committee investigating the program said in an interview Monday.
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell E. Issa, California Republican, said at least two scheduled witnesses expected to be asked about a controversial weapons investigation known as "Fast and Furious" received warning letters from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to limit their testimony.
Mr. Issa's committee is set to hear testimony from six current or former ATF employees, including agents and attaches assigned to the bureau's offices in Mexico, about the operation — in which, federal agents say, they were told to stand down and watch as guns flowed from U.S. dealers in Arizona to violent criminals and drug cartels in Mexico.
The six-term lawmaker aired his concerns about the program in a wide-ranging interview with reporters and editors at The Washington Times on Monday.

Metropolitan Jonah's Visit Concludes Orientation Week
Orientation Week 2010 concluded with a special visit from His Beatitude Jonah, primate of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA) and president of the SVOTS Board of Trustees. Metropolitan Jonah presided at the Divine Liturgy for the Feast of the Beheading of St. John the Baptist, and his sermon centered on lessons that incoming seminarians might glean from the gospel reading for the feast day.
"You are embarking not just on an academic journey," His Beatitude stated, "but also upon a spiritual one—a 'podvig' as the Russians would say—an ascetic effort. The words of St. John the Baptist, 'Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand,' must be taken as a theme for the whole of our lives; for, authentic repentence leads to joy and healing and away from the slavery of our passions and egos."
Also concelebrating at the Divine Liturgy was Archpriest Seraphim Gan, rector of St. Seraphim of Sarov Orthodox Church in Sea Cliff, NY, a parish of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR). Fr. Seraphim was warmly welcomed by our Dean, Fr. John Behr, who expressed his hope for a deepening fellowship within the brotherhood of Christ.
Metropolitan Hilarion [Alfeyev] of Volokolamsk, Chairman of the Department of External Church Relations of the Russian Orthodox Church and a permanent member of the Holy Synod of the Patriarchate of Moscow, was scheduled to concelebrate on the feast, but was not present due to illness. Metropolitan Hilarion traveled to the OCA Chancery on Monday, August 30, to contribute to the reflections within the OCA regarding its participation in the Episcopal Assembly process. Joining Metropolitan Jonah and Metropolitan Hilarion at that meeting, from our Seminary, were Archpriests John Behr and Chad Hatfield, and Fr. Alexander Rentel, Assistant Professor of Canon Law.

Richard Rodgers' contributions to musical theatre of his day was extraordinary, and his influence on the musical theatre of today and tomorrow is legendary. His career spanned more than six decades, his hits ranging from the silver screens of Hollywood to the bright lights of Broadway, London and beyond. He was the recipient of countless awards, including Pulitzers, Tonys, Oscars, Grammys and Emmys. He wrote more than 900 published songs and forty Broadway musicals.While a student at Columbia, Richard Rodgers wrote several of the popular "Varsity" shows with two upperclassmen: Oscar Hammerstein II and Lorenz Hart. His earliest professional credits, beginning in 1920, included a series of musicals for Broadway, London and Hollywood written exclusively with lyricist Hart. In the first decade of their collaboration, Rodgers & Hart averaged two new shows every season - and in the late thirties they hit their stride with nine musicals between 1936 and 1942 - "On Your Toes," "Babes In Arms," "I'd Rather Be Right," "I Married an Angel," "The Boys from Syracuse," "Two Many Girls," "Higher and Higher," "Pal Joey," and "By Jupiter." The Rodgers & Hart partnership came to an end with the death of Lorenz Hart in 1943, at the age of 48. Earlier that year Rodgers had joined forces with lyricist and author Oscar Hammerstein II. "Oklahoma!" in 1943 was the first Rodgers & Hammerstein musical, and was also the first of a new genre, the musical play, representing a unique fusion of Rodgers' musical comedy and Hammerstein's operetta. It also marked the beginning of the most successful partnership in Broadway musical history, and was followed by "Carousel," (1945), the movie musical "State Fair" (1945; remade 1962; Broadway premiere, 1996), "Allegro" (1947),"South Pacific" (1949), "The King and I" (1951), "Me and Juliet" (1953), "Pipe Dream" (1955), the TV musical "Cinderella" (1957; remade 1965, 1997), "Flower Drum Song" (1958) and "The Sound of Music" (1959). Collectively, the Rodgers & Hammerstein musicals earned 34 Tony Awards, 15 Academy Awards, two Pulitzer Prizes and two Grammy Awards.
Despite Hammerstein's death in 1960, Rodgers continued to write for the Broadway stage. His first solo entry, "No Strings" in 1962, earned him two Tony Awards for music and lyrics, and was followed by "Do I Hear A Waltz?" (1965, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim), "Two by Two" (1970, lyrics by Martin Charnin), "Rex" (1976, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick) and "I Remember Mama" 1979, (lyrics by Martin Charnin and Raymond Jessel).
Richard Rodgers died at home in New York City on December 30, 1979 at the age of 77. On March 27, 1990, he was honored posthumously with Broadway's highest accolade when the 46th Street Theatre, owned and operated by the Nederlander Organization, was renamed The Richard Rodgers Theatre, home to The Richard Rodgers Gallery, a permanent exhibit in the lobby areas which honors the composer's life and works.
In 2002, the Richard Rodgers Centennial was celebrated around the world, with tributes from Tokyo to London, from the Hollywood Bowl to the White House, featuring six new television specials, museum retrospectives, a dozen new ballets, half a dozen books, new recordings and countless concert and stage productions (including three revivals on Broadway), giving testament to the enduring popularity of Richard Rodgers and the sound of his music.

POP WEEKEND: WonderCon, the mega pop-culture convention that's run by the Comic-Con International people (you're familiar with them, yes?) has a few milestones under its sparkly, Wonder Woman-type super belt. It recently marked a quarter century. It has been overseen by the Comic-Conans for a decade. And its longtime home, San Francisco's own Moscone Center? Well that's undergoing a refurb, meaning that the convention would have to look for new digs. Those digs moved further south, probably much to the delight to OC fans and less to the NorCalers -- we get it, we do -- but the party'll be as big, as splashy, as starry, as comic-book-packed, and it'll be soon: March 16-18, in Anaheim.
ON THE BILL: People in outlandish costumes. Illustrating legends. Icons like Sergio Aragones, Mike Mignola, and Mark Evanier. And the all-important Masquerade. As with Comic-Con, the three-day schedule is brimming with to-dos and places to be (and potential conflicts if you want to be in all areas at all times). Check it out and start plotting what autographs/books/posters you'll snatch up first. Comic-Con is still a few months away; you'll want to sate the particular thirst for all things pop-culture-dom before July, right? Because you know you'll be totally ready to do it all again come summertime.

Designer Jin Woo Han has created the "Tactile Wand" as a 21st-century conceptual white stick for the blind. The rechargeable gadget uses some sort of distance sensor and communicates by buzzing, letting the user know of upcoming obstacles: the stronger the buzz, the nearer the object. Neat design, Jin, but can it detect doggy doo like the old-fashioned stick could? What happens if the batteries die when you're mid-street crossing? We reckon it would take some re-education of cops too: pointing a strange looking stick at people in public these days is probably a big no-no. [Coroflot via Gadget lab]

Similar to buying and selling a home, choosing Auckland builders to construct a new home can be a crucial process too. Luckily, there are various steps that you can take to prevent mistakes and disasters from occurring. By taking some time to think about what you really want and what you need, you will be able to achieve the outcome you really wish for.
So, here are the 5 best tips in selecting a builder for your home:
1. Take Note of Your Requirements
Before you choose west Auckland builders, you need to jot down your requirements. Primarily, you need to identify your location first or the ideal city or area where you want your house constructed. Ask yourself, do you have a particular black or slope in mind? What kind of home do you want to have? Does it need to have plenty of bedrooms, a huge living area and an indoor patio? The point here is you need to be more specific as possible, so that you can come up with a perfect picture of the house you have in your vision. This is your first step in selecting a home builder.
2. Utilize the Internet
Make use of the web to come up with a shortlist. As a rule, limit the search to builders who deal with your area as they are familiar with your environment. Also, you can make use of words like hilly block, sloping block and other related terms to search builders in your area. Your goal is to locate a builder who has the best knowledge about your soil and geology. With this, they will be able to build your home more effectively. Plus, they will be able to provide a close estimate of the costs.
3. Think of your Budget
You need to consider your budget especially if you have financial limitations. With this, asking a builder for an initial estimate according to your location and kind of home will be helpful. Just focus on the standard specifications like telling the builder that your block is 30 x50 meters sloping up and you wish to have a home with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, dining, lounge and an extra room for the family. You need to be a lot specific with the details at this point. Once you get your estimates, narrow down the list to builders within your funds.
4. Focus on Quality
Do not just rely on what they have to say about their work. In fact, it will be better if you will see it yourself. Ask about the previous homes they have worked on and make an effort to pay a visit. Get a personal feel of the kind of work they can provide you. Ask the homeowners a few questions that will help you make the decision.
5. Ask More Questions
You need to ask a lot of questions about things like their license, workmanship, insurance, policy changes and more. With this, you will be able to choose a New Zealand builder that can give you the best work possible without having to worry with the outcome at all.

ORANGE — Good point guard play makes a big difference.
Kory Hamane and Chad Tanioka combined for 20 points and nine assists at the one spot, leading the Occidental College men's basketball team to an 83-73 win over UC Santa Cruz at Chapman on Sunday.
Oxy improves to 5-3 overall and heads into the holiday break 2-0 in SCIAC play. UC Santa Cruz falls to 2-11 overall.
Hamane, a sophomore transfer from Puget Sound, had a career night with 11 points, six assists, two steals and just one turnover.
Tanioka, who's played sparingly this season after dealing with a hamstring injury for the first few weeks, made three 3-pointers in the first 20 minutes, helping Oxy jump out to a 45-36 halftime lead.
"Both Chad and Kory did a great job of forcing the tempo for us offensively," Oxy head coach Brian Newhall said. "Kory made terrific plays for his teammates and Chad's offense in the first half was a big boost."
The Tigers hit a rough patch in the second half that dwindled their lead down to 52-50 with 13:58 left. But Jay Miller converted a key and-1, igniting an 8-2 run that swung the momentum back in Oxy's favor.
Spencer Levy, who struggled from the field on Saturday with just four points in a win over Pacific Lutheran, led Oxy with 18 points, including three 3-pointers in the second half to hold the Banana Slugs at a distance.
The Tigers played 11 guys and nine of them 12 minutes or more as they pressed and turned quick shots and turnovers into transition opportunities.
Ty Cobb had another solid game off of the bench with 10 points and eight rebounds, many of them traffic boards that finished key defensive stops.
The Tigers had 18 assists and just 13 turnovers as they shared the ball and found good shots.
Austin Steadman led UC Santa Cruz with 24 points and 14 rebounds and Jared Ponce scored 18.
Kris Montoya, Oxy's leading scorer at 22 points per game, was held to just seven points as he sat out most of the first half with three fouls.
Still the Tigers found offense and contributions from other places. Juwan Rice scored 10 points to go along with six rebounds and Miller was in double digits for the second game in a row, scoring 14 points on 5 of 7 shooting.
Oxy has an eight-day break before returning home to play Milwaukee Engineering on Dec. 30 and La Sierra on Dec. 31.
"We get to relax a little and enjoy the holiday before getting right back to it," Newhall said. "I'm happy with the way our team's playing and it's nice to go into the break with a good taste in our mouths."

When the Kochs gave to Dems ...
The Koch brothers are the Democrats' public enemy No. 1. But there was a time not too long ago that billionaires Charles and David Koch were modest Democratic Party donors.
Though the Kochs have poured untold millions into conservative and libertarian causes over the years, the political action committee for their privately held Koch Industries also has given money through the years to Democratic causes and candidates — including Mark Pryor, Mary Landrieu and Chuck Schumer — as part of the influence-peddling game that many corporations and wealthy donors play.
Story Continued Below
Those donations from Koch Industries Inc. Political Action Committee, or KochPAC, include nearly $200,000 to Democratic candidates and committees as recently as 2010 — including a $30,000 donation to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
( Also on POLITICO: Democratic legacies on the line in 2014)
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and other top Democrats have made vilifying the Kochs part of a deliberate political strategy to rile up the party's base and drive the party's small-dollar fundraising efforts. Last week, Reid blasted the two brothers in a blistering Senate floor speech, accusing them of trying to hijack the political process with their donations and of meddling in the country's foreign policy to protect their own interests.
But Reid's fellow Democrats collected KochPAC money as recently as 2012.
Sen. Mark Pryor of Arkansas took $10,000 from KochPAC in 2012. Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana has taken $55,000 in Koch money since the 2000 cycle. Former Senate Democrats Max Baucus, Blanche Lincoln and Ben Nelson took Koch cash in 2010. And Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York got $1,000 in the same year.
( Also on POLITICO: Koch group to hit Udall in Colorado)
Since 2000, KochPAC has given more than $1.4 million to Democratic candidates, leadership PACs and party committees, according to numbers compiled by Congressional Quarterly's Moneyline.
The DSCC even asked the Kochs to donate in 2011 — inviting them to a private donor retreat on South Carolina's Kiawah Island in exchange for a five-figure contribution. The Kochs released audio of DSCC's then-Chairwoman Patty Murray soliciting funds from them. The DSCC later called the request a "staff error."
Democrats note that the cash the Kochs have given to the party pales in comparison to the massive sums of money their network of nonprofits and outside groups has spent against Democratic interests and Democratic candidates. The PAC is a relatively small share of the Koch's overall political giving — with millions being spent through nonprofit organizations like Americans for Prosperity and the Center to Protect Patient Rights.
( Also on POLITICO: Reid: Kochs delaying Ukraine aid)
KochPAC has given $10.2 million to Republican candidates since 2000. That's in addition to the millions that the two brothers have spent on election activity. The Kochs created the 501(c)(6) nonprofit Freedom Partners, a group that raised and spent $250 million in 2012 to shape political and policy debates across the country. That money was doled out nationwide to affiliated groups like the Center to Protect Patient Rights, Americans for Prosperity, the 60 Plus Association and American Future Fund. All told, the Center for Responsive Politics estimated that the Koch network spent more than $400 million in the 2012 election cycle. Most of those funds were spent hammering Senate Democrats and President Barack Obama over his signature health care law.
Reid's office did not respond to a request for comment on the Kochs' donation history to the Democratic Party. The Pryor and Landrieu campaigns also did not respond to a request for comment.
Koch Industries' bipartisan giving record is typical for a major American corporation — where PACs often hedge their bets by giving generously to both sides and supporting local candidates of either party.
But the well has dried up for Democrats.

Spring is the perfect time to break out a little color in your palette! And it's much more wearable than you think if you apply the bold color along the natural shape of your eyelid (don't wing it out) and pair it with a soft pink cheek and lip. I had the pleasure of creating this look for Emmy Rossum a couple weeks ago for her red carpet event and got so many emails asking what I used on her, I thought I would do even better and actually show you step by step exactly what I did on Emmy on my friend Jessie!
- Teal Eye Shadow — I used Lorac Eye Color in Celebutant and also really love Urban Decay Stardust Eye Shadow in Atmosphere which is slightly cooler while the Lorac shade is warmer (revisit my Undertones post if you haven't determined yours yet!)
- Medium Dome-Shaped Blending Brush – Urban Decay 24/7 Shadow Brush is the perfect compacted head for control when applying all over the lid and in the crease. If you don't own a brush like this one yet, you're missing out!
- Black Waterproof Liner — I love Tarte Skinny SmolderEYES Amazonian Clay Waterproof Liner in Onyx because it glides on thick and the blackest black like a kajal liner but it's waterproof so it stays longer.
- Mascara – I used Kevyn Aucoin Curling Lash Color in Rich Pitch Black because it's kinda major when it comes to curling and painting your lashes. Trust.
- Pearl Cream Eye Shadow – I used Stila Smudge Pot Liner in Kitten, the iconic warm pearl shade.
- Small Tapered Brush — Try the W3LL People Tapered Angle Eye Brush for both the pearl shadow above the crease or the teal shadow on the bottom lashline.
- Pale Pink/Peach Cream Blush – I used Stila Convertible Color in Gerbera which is gorgeous on pale skin like Emmy's and medium skin tone like Jessie's or try Petunia on dark skin tones or Fuchsia on the darkest skin tones.
- Foundation – I used Luminess Air Matte Foundation because I love the velvety coverage and the fact that it's matte so you don't need to powder after.
- Pale Pink/Peach Lipstick or Gloss – Emmy chose to leave her lips bare that night but another option would be Lorac Couture Shine Liquid Lipstick in Haute like I used on Jessie for a colored shine or Vincent Longo Wet Pearl Lipstick in Honeysuckle for a satin finish.
- After applying foundation all over your face and neck, apply the teal shadow all over the lid and crease with the medium dome-shaped brush.
- Sweep the teal shadow along the bottom lashline with the small tapered brush.
- Rim the inner waterline with the black waterproof liner by gently pulling down on the bottom lid and tracing the pencil just above the lashline.
- Sweep the pearl shadow just above the teal, above the crease, to add a little life to the area.
- Coat the lashes with mascara.
- Smile in the mirror to pop out the apples and apply the pink cream blush on the upper half of them.
- Finish with the pale pink lipstick or gloss.

Subject: CHORDS: Freshmen by The Verve Pipe
From their album "Villains"
Transcription (for this REALLY excellent song)
was done by George Quebbeman (email@example.com)
Freshmen - The Verve Pipe
when I was young I knew everything
C#m B A
and she a punk who rarely ever took advice
now I'm guilt stricken sobbing with my head on the floor
C#m B A
stop a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice (no)
C#m B A
I can't be held responsible
C#m B A
'cause she was touching her face
C#m B A
I won't be held responsible
C#m B A
she fell in love in the first place
for the life of me, I cannot remember
C#m B A E
what made us think that we were wise and we didn't compro-mise
for the life of me, I cannot believe
C#m B A
we'd ever die for these sins we were merely freshmen
my best friend took a week's vacation to forget her
his girl took a week's worth of valium and slept
and now he's guilt stricken sobbing with his head on the floor
thinks about her now and how he never really wept, he says...
(repeat chorus)
(repeat bridge)
we've tried to wash our hands of all of this
we never talk of our lacking relationships
and how we're guilt stricken sobbing with our heads on the floor
we fell through the ice, when we tried not to slip, we'd say it...
(repeat chorus)
(repeat bridge)
(repeat chorus and fade)
There are some nice little hammer-off/on things going on
with the A chord especially (Asus2, Asus4) that you can tinker
with, but hopefully this will help get people started.
Hint: In this phrasing...
when I was young I knew everything
I think it sounds real nice if you play a quick B chord
over the word "knew", so it's like:
when I was young I knew everything
You may or may not choose do to so but I thought it added a
little snap. I "smell" that B in there somewhere, especially
if you play the B without the high "e" string fingered, but open.
'course I'm doing this on an acoustic and trying to eek out a little
extra "magic".

Dips and crudites are perfect picnic food as they are so simple to make and easy to transport. For a change I've made a couple of variations to the ordinary plain hummus – Roasted Carrot and a Roasted Beetroot Hummus. Both delicious, healthy and perfect for sharing.
Roasted Carrot Hummus
The addition of the roasted carrots add a lovely sweet and earthy flavour to the hummus as well as giving the hummus a beautiful golden orange colour.
I'm not a huge fan of Tahini paste so I only add a tablespoon or two but if you like a stronger nuttier taste you can easily add more to the hummus. The tip for adding the ice cubes to the hummus was courtesy of Silvena Rowe in her beautiful book Purple Citrus and Sweet Perfume. It makes the hummus so deliciously smooth, however if you want the ultimate in smooth, remove the skins from the chick peas! I know, sounds crazy but it works, however you do need to have a little extra time on your side for that option!
2 carrots, peeled and ends trimmed
1/4 tsp chilli flakes (optional)
Drizzle of olive oil
1 tin of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
Juice of ½ - 1 lemon (depending on how juicy it is)
1 clove of garlic, crushed
1 tbsp tahini paste
Salt and Pepper
4 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil, plus a little extra for drizzling
1-2 ice cube
Small handful of toasted pine nuts to serve (optional but delicious)
Pre-heat the oven to 400F/ 200C. Cut the carrots into equal sized pieces then put on a baking tray. Drizzle over a little olive oil and toss to make sure all of the pieces are evenly covered. Sprinkle over the chilli flakes if using and a little salt then roast in the oven for 40 minutes. Remove, then leave to cool.
To make the hummus blend all the ingredients together apart from the ice cubes in a processor until you have a smooth consistency. Taste to check the seasoning and whether you need any more lemon juice to taste. Add the ice cube(s) one by one with the motor running and blend until they are fully incorporated. Transfer to a serving bowl and drizzle with a little extra olive oil before scattering over the toasted pine nuts. Serve with toasted pita bread and crudités of your choice.
Beetroot Hummus
Okay, I'm not going to lie - the addition of the beetroot makes this hummus look slightly inedible! It is so unbelievably pink you wouldn't think it was natural but I promise you it is! Both adults and kids alike will love this vibrant, healthy and earthy dip which is perfect for picnics, parties (I once served it at a pink themed bridal shower!) and even just to have in the house for a healthy snack. I dare you to try it!
2 medium cooked beetroots (beets), roughly chopped* (plus a small one for garnish - optional)
1 tin of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
Juice of ½ - 1 lemon (depending on how juicy it is)
1 clove of garlic, crushed
2 tbsp tahini paste
Salt and Pepper
3 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil, plus a little extra for drizzling
1 ice cube
Blend all of the ingredients together in a processor – with the exception of the ice cube - until you have a smooth consistency. Check for seasoning and whether you need any more lemon juice to taste. Add the ice cube and continue to blend until it is mixed in and you have a perfectly smooth dip. Transfer to a serving bowl and drizzle with a little extra olive oil and if you have extra some grated beetroot. Serve with toasted pita bread and crudités.
*You can use pre-cooked bought beetroot but try to get the vacuum packed beetroots and not the ones in vinegar as this will change the taste of the finished hummus. If you prefer however I always use fresh beetroot that I roast. To do this simply wash and trim the stalks then wrap individually in foil and cook in the oven at 200C/ 400F/ GM 6 from 60-90 minutes depending on size. Check them after 1 hour and if they are tender they are ready. If they are still firm return to the oven until they become tender. Leave to cool before peeling them then roughly chopping and adding to the hummus. {Warning: You might want to wear rubber gloves for the peeling and chopping part to avoid having bright pink hands! Also I tend to protect my chopping board with a double layer of wax paper!}

Although Al Quoz does not exactly hold the usual Dubai glamour, with cement factories, labour camps and extreme dust, it is here where the local Dubai art scene took hold.
As in other big world cities it is not unusual for artists to flourish in cutting edge spaces and Dubai is no different. In fact, the warehouses in this area provide the ideal wide empty spaces that make for perfect exhibition venues.
Contemporary art by budding artists from the region can be found here. Gallery names such as Art Sawa, Ayyam Gallery, Gallery Isabelle Van Den Eynde, Flying House and The Third Line are worth looking out for.
The jamjar gallery offers an ArtintheCity ArtBus which takes visitors around to various art venues in the city.
Address: various locations in the Al Quoz area.
