Nautilus has undergone massive changes in recent versions and it is going to be a challenge figuring out a few things. The following long winded article would be useful in figuring out various "Hidden" functionalities of Nautilus. But before doing anything, do Configure Community Repositories openSUSE 12.3
Where are Preferences / settings in Nautilus?
After opening Nautilus you need to click on the Nautilus icon on top panel to pull down the various settings / preferences.
Do you need nautilus to confirm with you before executing each script and provide an option to run in a terminal?
If yes then you can enable using following menu in preferences
How can i sort icons ?
By clicking on the drop down button next to the "Wheel" like button on the menu bar, you can access functions like :-
- Zoom in / out which allows us to increase and decrease icon sizes.
- Reload which allows us to refresh Nautilus.
(keyboard : F5).
- Allows Sorting and reverse sort of icons by:-
- Name
- Size
- Type
- Modification Date
- Hide / Show Hidden files & folders (Names starts with a dot (.) )
How can i Bookmark various folders ?
Bookmarking folders in Nautilus makes them appear in the "pane" on the left hand side of Nautilus. You can use the wheel / Gears like button on top right hand side of Nautilus to :-
- Bookmark Folders
(keyboard : Ctrl+B)so that they appear on "left pane".
- Open New Tab in Nautilus
(keyboard : Ctrl+T)
- Create New Folder in present working directory.
- Selecting all matching items
(keyboard : Ctrl+S). You can select all png files in a folder using this functionality.
Where are "New File" and "Refresh" Context / Right click menus ?
They have ahem! been "removed". We can easily restore these functions by using "Nautilus Actions". I would take a look at this post (Nautilus Actions?) before coming back here to read further.
Use "touch" command to create a "New File"
Install "xdotool"
(sudo zypper in xdotool) to simulate key presses. Now, all we need to do is simulate F5 key press to add refresh functionality to context menu.
Restored "NewFile" and "Refresh" Menu items
How can I preview files ?
Preview functionality in Nautilus allows you "preview" contents of all files without actually opening them. You can even play video and audio tracks using this functionality. It can be accessed by ensuring that you have the following packages installed:-
- Install "sushi" (Quick Previewer for Nautilus)
sudo zypper in sushi
- Install "unoconv" (Allows us to preview doc,ppt,xls,docx,odt,odf etc)
sudo zypper in unoconv
- Install "nautilus-evince"(Allows previewing pdfs)
sudo zypper in nautilus-evince
- Install Gstearmer libs (Allows previewing Audio and Video files)
sudo zypper in gstreamer*(Will pull in lot of packages :) ).
After installing above stuff you may restart system and to preview files you can press "spacebar". You can "preview" virtually any file now :). You can see preview samples here:- Audio,video and doc preview features in Nautilus
Also chekout :- Image resize,create thumbnail and image rotate using Nautilus on openSUSE 12.3, GNOME 3.6

NASHVILLE, Tenn.: Two employees of the truck stop chain owned by the family of Tennessee�s governor and the owner of the Browns pleaded guilty Wednesday to scamming the company�s customers out of rebates, a practice well-known among both sales staff and executives as �jacking,� according to court documents.
Court papers outlining the plea deals say regional sales director Arnold Ralenkotter and regional accounts representative Ashley Smith Judd were part of the conspiracy to boost profits and pad commissions at Pilot Flying J, which is owned by the family of Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam and Browns owner Jimmy Haslam.
Ralenkotter and Judd were the first charged in the federal investigation, and both pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud.
Judd�s attorney did not immediately respond to calls seeking comment, though Ralenkotter�s attorney said he is cooperating with authorities. Both were charged earlier this month in a document typically filed when defendants are cooperating with investigators.
�This is a man who�s admitted doing something wrong, but he�s trying to make amends by cooperating and providing substantial assistance,� said Ed Yarbrough, a former federal prosecutor representing Ralenkotter, 51.
The conspiracy charges carry up to 20 years in prison, but Ralenkotter is likely to have a much less severe sentence because he is a first-time offender and because of his cooperation.
The defense attorney declined to say how Ralenkotter would be cooperating, what he knows and whether Pilot CEO Jimmy Haslam knew that employees were withholding rebates from trucking companies.
Jimmy Haslam has denied any wrongdoing and has suspended several members of the sales team, but he has declined to identify exactly who has been suspended. An affidavit unsealed last month shows that a Pilot employee was secretly recorded saying that Jimmy Haslam knew what sales people were doing, though he has denied knowing of any fraud.
He also has said an internal review suggested about 5 percent of the company�s customers received less rebate money because of manual adjustments by Pilot employees.
�The statements released by the federal court today do not come as a surprise given what we�ve been learning in our own internal investigations, but are nonetheless disappointing,� Pilot Flying J spokesman Tom Ingram said in a statement. �We want to assure our customers that we are taking every step to correct any wrongdoing that has occurred and to make certain that it does not happen again.�
Court documents in Ralenkotter�s and Judd�s case show that fraud was well-known among sales staff and that Pilot�s national account sales director taught employees how to defraud trucking companies out of rebate money without getting caught. The national account sales director was not named in the plea agreements Wednesday, but an affidavit unsealed in April said national sales director Brian Mosher trained employees on how to get away with the fraud.
Mosher could not be reached for comment. Public records did not list a telephone number for him.
Court records say that it was often difficult for trucking companies to track how much money they were entitled to because there were so many variables in the company�s diesel price discount program.
Documents indicate people both higher and lower than Ralenkotter were aware of the fraud. Ralenkotter even threatened to take a customer account away from a subordinate if the worker did not go along with the deception, known among employees as �jacking� the discount, court documents say.
For his part, Ralenkotter specifically pleaded guilty to being part of the fraud that lowered the rebate of New Jersey-based trucking company Dana Transport. Officials with the trucking company did not immediately respond to a call seeking comment. As for Judd, she admitted to defrauding customers of $200,000. Court documents say that whenever a trucking company challenged her about whether they were getting the right amount of rebate money, she would say it was an error caused by a �lapse in numbers.�
Court documents in Judd�s case show there might have been more than 50 companies defrauded by Pilot.
On April 15, the same day FBI agents raided the company�s headquarters, they also searched the homes of three regional sales directors, including Ralenkotter�s home in Hebron, Ky., according to an affidavit. That document indicated that the FBI and the IRS have been investigating the company for about two years, and that they had secret recordings of company officials discussing the rebate scheme.
The Knoxville-based chain is run by CEO Jimmy Haslam, the governor�s brother. Pilot Flying J, the country�s largest diesel retailer with annual revenues of $31 billion, was founded by their father.
A spokesman for the governor deferred to what Bill Haslam has said previously about the probe. The governor has insisted that he has �faith and confidence� in his brother�s ability to deal with the situation and that there had been �gossip and speculation� about the raid on the company.
At least eight trucking firms have sued Pilot over the rebate program. Some have retained former FBI Director Louis Freeh�s firm as part of their lawsuits.
Associated Press writer Lucas L. Johnson III in Nashville Associated Press sports writer Tom Withers in Cleveland and the Knoxville News Sentinel contributed to this report.

Ok, it's in most publications right now, anywhere you go on the internet. From Tom Silverstein at jsonline, this is my favorite line:
The Jets sold Favre on the fact that the new (team HQ) location is in the suburbs and features some rural areas where he can fish and hunt.
I must admit I am relieved this is all over. What a messed up situation for everyone. One quick question for the Jets: did you do all of this just to jack up the prices on the seat licenses? Anyway, it will be interesting to see Favre in another uniform (if he doesn't retire before actually playing).
But right now, I'm focused on the Packers picking up Chad Pennington – who is likely to be cut by the Jets. I think he would add very important depth to our QB roster. And, though I know there are others who want so badly to just have Rodgers be the unquestioned guy here, I don't think stiff competition for the starting spot would hurt him. Listen, as I've written before, I think Rodgers might be quite good. But I've been wrong about a player or two (DeMond Parker for example, though he was never given a fair chance…). Pennington would not only provide real competition for Rodgers, he could also be a very strong back-up in case of injury, he's heady and could learn MM's offense well and if he does back up Rodgers, he could offer valuable veteran guidance, something this team has none of right now.
One concern I do have right now is that Pennington might land with Minnesota or the Bears (who still haven't decided which horrible option they'll go with as starter, Orton to start this week and Rex to start next week).
STEVE ADDS: Andy once again smoking crack. Do you really think, after saying all off-season that Aaron Rodgers was the starter and only when Brett Favre showed up in Green Bay saying that he could compete to start, that the Packers would let Chad Pennington compete with Rodgers? Crack, I tell you.
I'm fine if we pick up Pennington, though I suspect others will be willing to pay him more than we will. But it's not because he's very good or because he might play. (We know very little about Aaron Rodgers, but I'm fairly confident he'd beat out Pennington in an open competition. Of course, I'm fairly sure Andy would beat out Chad Pennington in an open competition and Andy throws like Ty Pennington. Come to think of it, Ty Pennington might beat out Chad Pennington.) The reason to sign him is because he's smart and, apparently, understands the game very well. It would be useful to have someone like that for Rodgers to talk to when he comes off the sidelines.

Hey, and welcome to my third FAQ for Gamefaqs! This time, it's for, possibly
one of the biggest games to hit the gaming generation, Grand Theft Auto: San
Andreas. This guide is for Importing, and Exporting cars at the Easter Basin
docks after finishing all of your Garage missions in San Fierro. It will
include the Basic Exporting and Importing lists, where to find the cars,
how to export & import and much more. You will need to finish the mission
'Customs Fast Track' to open Importing and Exporting, so I have included
a small walkthrough of that mission. Good luck, and have fun!

You'll need to complete this mission to unlock Importing & Exporting, so here
is a small guide on how to get through this mission.
Carl and Kendl talk about Sweet's situation, while Cesar gets a hint about
a car at the docks that is in a crate. The annonymous man says that he has
marked the crate with some paint.
When you're in Cesar's lowrider, they discuss on who's doing what. Cesar is
afraid of heights, so you'll have to operate the Crane, while he checks the
Crates for the Car. When you reach the yellow blip on your map(Go down the
train tracks), enter the Crane.
You find out that there is no marked crate, so you decide to search them all.
Use the Square button to raise the magnet, and X to lower it, and the left
analog stick to move the Crane about. Once you have a crate, move it off
the ship, and put it on the floor. Don't just drop it from high up though,
as it will explode, thus causing the mission failed. Once you find the
right crate, Cesar gets in the car, but some men drive up and ambush you.
Exit the Crane, and fill the three men with bullets. A few more guys arive
at the scene, destroy these fools aswell. Now another 2 guys run up, kill
them, and you're done. Drive back to the garage, and voila! Collect your
$10,000 and start exporting some cars!

+-+-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+
When you reach a certain number of cars that you have Exported, you are able
to Import cars for a price, of course. Here is a list of the cars to Import.
------First List------
| | | |
| 5 | Monster | $32,000 |
| 10 | Windsor | $28,000 |
------Second List------
| | | |
| 5 | Bandito | $12,000 |
| 10 | Turismo | $76,000 |
------Third List------
| | | |
| 5 | Vortex | $20,800 |
| 10 | Bullet | $84,000 |
Here is a few descriptions of the cars you can Import:
Monster - Huge 4 wheel off-road truck. Durable and can bowl over most cars.
My personal favourite car.
Windsor - Fast Sports car, but handles like a brick. Feels heavy when driving,
and has bad handling. Not recommended.
Bandito - Off-road Dune buggy. Fast, and handles pretty well. Can't endure
much damage though. Fun car to drive.
Turismo - One of the, if not the fastest car in the game. Has a big spoiler
on the back, and has a long front. 2 doors.
Vortex - Our good old Hovercraft. Drives on land, flows through sea, and
flies through the air. Has a big fan on the back.
Bullet - Most likely the fastest car in the game. Has a huge stripe down
its front that runs down to the back. Has a very low ground
clearance, so it doesn't tip over easily. Very fast.

Now onto where to find the cars! Most of these cars spawn in places, all around
the State of San Andreas, here is a list of the Locations of the cars you'll
need to Export.
List 1
Patriot - Usually spawns at the Easter bay chemicals parking lot in San
Fierro. Also in Area 69, watch for the instant 5 star wanted level,
though. Easier if you have the Airstrip to park it in the garage
and save.
Sanchez - On the farm, a little West of Leafy Hollow, also can be acquired
in the mission 'Explosive situation' for the casino. The Sanchez
is always parked at the Quarry after that mission, too.
Stretch - A lot are seen driving around Hashbury, can also be found behind
Wang Cars in Doherty.

be acquired in the mission 'Fender Ketchup' for the Casino, kill
the guy on the hood to get Mission failed, then take the car.
Remington - By Unity station, in Los Santos.
Buffalo - Fern ridge, next to Catalina's cabin.
Sentinel(Listed) -
1. Movie studio parking lot in Vinewood, Los Santos. Doors can be locked
sometimes, so blow it up, go around the block, and it should be
2. Can also be seen driving around the studio aswell, if you can't find
the parked one.
3. May also be found at Jizzy's Pleasure Domes club, in San Fierro.
4. Usually spawns around Roca Escalante in Las Venturas by the VRock hotel.
5. Can be found in the Underground Car Park, in Financial in San Fierro,
where you do the Valet missions.

Sabre - These are everywhere. Wait on the roads, just outside of the Exporting
place. You will find one easily.
FCR 900 - Just above Greenglass college in Las Venturas, Parked with another
lot of vehicles. Also spawns by the driving school if you get at
least all silvers at the Bike school.
Cheetah - Leftmost of Prickle Pine, by a House.
Rancher - Usually parked by the Lil' Probe inn, just North of Fort Carson.
Stallion - Juniper Hill, North of where you find the Stafford.
Tanker - These are all over the countryside & the desert. Just cruise
around, and you'll find one.
Comet - West of the Avispa country club. There is a window shaped, yellow
building on your map. It should be around there.
List 3
Blade - Same as the Sabre. They're found all around San Fierro.
Freeway - Hashbury, parked by the curvey road.
Mesa - At the Base of Mount Chiliad, if you finish the 'Chiliad Challenge' on
the Mountain Bike at the top of the Mountain, the Mesa is next to the
finish point.

Inporting and Exporting anyway. Can also be found if you hop
the fence into an airport, and drive the baggage truck, the
Super GT may appear.
Journey - On the top of Mount Chiliad. Also in the movie studio in Vinewood,
LS. Not closer, but probably easier to get if you hate Mt. Chiliad.
Huntley - Appears at the driving school sometimes instead of the Hotknife if
you get Gold in all driving school tests. Can sometimes spawn
there if you get all Silver, and if you complete the first Export
list. Also seen driving around in Prickle Pine.

Here is a small tips section to help you get the most out of Exporting your
(Thanks to Stuart for the following 4 tips:)
-If you're moving cars a long distance, it's worth driving them on the train
tracks. The tracks lead straight to the docks, there's rarely a train on
them, so you stand far more chance of getting the car there damage free.
-If your car is damaged by the time you get to the docks, stick it in one of
your garages, or get it to a Pay n' spray. The car will be as good as new,
and you will get the right amount of money.
-If you ever find a car while playing the game that's on a future list(list 3
while you're only doing list 1) stick it in a garage for later. It could
save you loads of time and money.
-There are 16 different classes of vehicle in the game, including aircrafts,
bikes, and boats. If you're driving a vehicle from one class, it increases
the chance of other vehicles in that class spawning. You'll notice that if
you drive a 'rare' car all the way from Los Santos to the docks, you'll
see 3 of them lined up at a traffic light in Doherty. So, if you're after a
Tanker, drive anything like a tanker, such as a Linerunner, or if you want
a Huntley, try driving a Rancher or Landstalker. The spawning of cars is
also area based. You'refar more likely to see an expensive sports car driving
through Rodeo than Ganton.
(Thanks to Pogo for the following 2 tips:)
-Tankers, Freeways, Journeys, Sanchez, and Ranchers can all be found cruising
around the Countryside.
-Stallions, Feltzers, Remingtons, Sabres, and Stretchs can mostly be found
driving around the Easter Basin in Doherty, San Fierro.
-Some Garages eat cars, especially the San Fierro garage that you start San
Fierro with. Try not to stuff garages full with cars (4 or more) or you
run a high risk of one of them dissappearing. There have also been reports
of custom paintjobs being deleted, and replaced by plain white paint. I
can confirm this through my Stratum's paintjob being deleted(Grr). If
this is about to happen, your garage may lock, and will not let you in
for a while. Try not to put 2 or more cars with custom paintjobs in the
same garage to prevent this.

I wasn't the only one who found the story beyond belief
It's too bad my mom doesn't work in the sports office at USC. She could have saved them all a lot of embarrassment and taught a young man a lesson.
Sometime in the hours after attending a banquet in which he was named a captain for his football program at Southern Cal, Josh Shaw visited his girlfriend at her Palmdale, Cal. Apartment, at least an hour from the banquet location depending on Saturday night traffic.
While there, Shaw tried to "shimmy" down the outside of the building from her third floor apartment. During that attempt to become Spiderman, Shaw took a tumble. When he landed, both of his ankles were injured.
As a football player approaching his first game of the 2014 season and a newly named captain of his team, Shaw decided that since he couldn't be Spiderman, he better become a superhero in another way so he came up with a story that was too good to be true.
He didn't sneak away from his girlfriend's room. Instead, Shaw leapt from a second floor balcony to save his drowning nephew. The story posted on the USC athletics website is awesome.
"Shaw looked on from a second floor balcony to the pool below and saw his 7-year-old nephew, who cannot swim, in distress without help nearby. Shaw instinctively leaped off the balcony, landing painfully on the concrete below," the story says. "He was able to crawl into the pool and ushered his nephew to safety. Despite the intense pain in his legs, he was then able to grab the ladder and lift himself out of the pool with his upper body."
Oh my. That's something.
When I read the story the first time, my radar was pining on several facts in the story. First, was he the only one there who could swim? Why couldn't one of his family members on the ground floor save the seven year old? Was there no one in the pool that Shaw could have alerted to the struggling seven year old?
Next, the fact that that pool must be pretty darn close to the wall if he jumped off the balcony and even made it to the water with two badly injured ankles. Even for a Man of Troy such as Shaw, that is a bit of a remarkable crawl.
Then he saved the nephew without the use of his legs and pulled himself out of the pool using only his upper body. How heroic.
But Shaw's quotes were of such "made for press release" that I was sure that he had at least exaggerated his story.
"I would do it again for whatever kid it was, it did not have to be my nephew," Shaw said in that first story. "My ankles really hurt, but I am lucky to be surrounded by the best trainers and doctors in the world. I am taking my rehab one day at a time, and I hope to be back on the field as soon as possible."
He wasn't scared and reacted to save his nephew. He was a hero, by God. And if he has to do it again for any seven-year old, he will.
Apparently, I wasn't the only one who found the story beyond belief.
It wasn't long before coaches and fans who pushed this story out and celebrated Super Ankle Man were walking the story back. They would have jogged the story back, but their ankles hurt too much to jog.
Shaw finally admitted that he made the whole thing up. He is very sorry and will never create another fairy tale to defend himself again.
Currently, he is suspended from the team. But he is also hurt and I bet his suspension and recovery run concurrently.
After Mantei Teo's imaginary girlfriend from a couple of years ago, I can't believe a major university was so easily taken in by a story like this.
That is where my mom would be helpful.
I remember when I was 12. It was a long time ago but I remember it like it was yesterday.
My parents went to one of my brother's baseball games and I got to stay home. While I was home, I decided I wanted to go to a friend's house to play some baseball and watch movies.
I wasn't allowed to leave. So I came up with a story. I didn't become a super hero, but it was a tall tale.
You see, two bikers, I was pretty sure they were Hell's Angels, came into our yard. I grabbed my bat and took off to Ronnie's. Luckily, as a fat little 12-year old, I was able to escape the Hell's Angels who were so amazed by my burst of speed and menacing baseball bat I was carrying, that they left me alone and also did no harm to the house.
I was safe and sound at Ronnie's when they found me after the game.
As they drove me home, I told the story. My brother tried to point out how stupid it sounded but mom just let me go. She asked questions and I had to go deeper and deeper into the story where it was not well-developed.
She let me sleep on it and asked about it again the next morning. Like Shaw, the pressure was too much and I broke.
Lying isn't easy. If you are good at it, that isn't good.
Fortunately, most people aren't.
I hope kids everywhere learn a lesson from Shaw and figure out that the punishment for telling the truth is lighter and less embarrassing than getting caught in a lie.

Is it possible to transform from a self-centered, immature, angry man into a more open, loving, communicative husband? For Mike Love, the author of "Confessions of a Recovering Stupid Male: Creating Loving Relationships That Will Last a Lifetime" (Balboa Press), the answer is: "Yes. But sometimes it takes a while."
We talked with Love about his shift in perspective and his desire to help other couples who might be in crisis.
Q: Do you remember the moment when you decided you wanted to be more loving and stop with your selfish behavior?
A: Yes. My wife, Shelley, and I had gotten into a huge fight—we'd been married 18 years—and at first I was thinking, "I'm right and she's wrong." So I went to see the movie "Bruce Almighty" with my sons just to get out of the house and the movie really spoke to me. That whole idea that you don't know what you have until it's gone type of thing. And I realized I needed to make some changes and if I didn't I'd be alone for the rest of my life. But it took a long time for Shelley to trust and believe in me again. I had to make a lot of changes.
Q: This moment came after 18 years of marriage? What took you so long?
A: I was the type of guy who, once he made up his mind—that was it. I was very stubborn and got very angry real fast. I never ever physically hit my wife but there was verbal and emotional abuse. And I was part of the generation where if you asked for help, you were thought of as weak. But what I realize now is to be weak is actually to be strong. It takes a lot of courage to face those weaknesses and admit you are failing. Especially for men.
Q: What mistake do you think women continue to repeat in relationships?
A: They don't believe in themselves. The No. 1 reason why women stay in relationships (other than for financial reasons) is that they have low self-esteem. They believe they aren't powerful or that they aren't whole if they aren't with a man. A year ago the Dalai Lama said the fate of the planet rests on the Western woman. I found that on the Internet and it should've been on the front pages of the papers. Women don't realize how powerful they are or how much they matter, whether they're with or without a man.
Q: You have two sons, and you admit to having many fights in front of your children before your epiphany. Are you worried they might repeat some of this behavior in their relationships?
A: I have talked to my boys and my concern is that they will pass it on. The anger issues are something that I have and still have and I'm working on those. But from what I see now, my sons don't have the same kind of anger reactions that I do. When I was growing up, I didn't want to be like my father. He wasn't physically abusive but was verbally abusive, and so I failed in that respect. My father came from the generation where you sweep it under the carpet. You just can't do that anymore.
Q: Who changes more in a relationship—men or women?
A: In my experience women do. Fear prevents change in men. It's that fear of what people will think. But luckily I'm seeing more and more men who want to change and who are becoming more open.
Q: What advice would you give any woman out there who is dealing with someone who is afraid to change their ways?
A: I'd say, try to remember why you chose that person in the first place. Hopefully deep down you [chose them] because you found their attributes and their personality to be a foundation of what you want to build on. Shelley knew about some of the ugliness in me. We'd lived together for a year before we got married [more than 26 years ago] and she saw the good parts in me, and that's what has kept her hanging on. Had I not changed we would not be together today.
It starts with each of us. Do we need someone to complete us or do we believe in ourselves? It's not that you are nobody unless you have somebody. When you wake up in the morning, send your partner love and try to be humble. And once you get into a strong sense of self, then you can work together with your partner as allies.

BRUSSELS, June 13 (UPI) -- Members of the European Union can do more to ensure transparency in the extractive industries, the European commissioner for internal market and services said.
The European Commission said it enacted new disclosure rules for the extractive industry and loggers, requiring companies to report all payments to governments on a country-by-country and project-by-project basis.
"Such disclosure will provide civil society in resource-rich countries with the information needed to hold governments to account for any income made through the exploitation of natural resources, and also to promote the adoption of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative in these same countries," the EC said.
Advocates of transparency initiatives said the measures work to combat the so-called resource curse, in which developing countries may use natural resources to prop up corrupt regimes.
European Commissioner for Internal Markets and Services Michel Barnier said Wednesday the directive was a step in the right direction in the fight against corruption.
"But we must go further now and take measures on more transparency on tax for all large companies and groups -- the taxes they pay, how much and to whom," he said in a statement.

Early in Laurence Fishburne's narration for the documentary "Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone," it is posited that the band could have come together only in Los Angeles, not least because when they first united in the early 1980s, the then-teenage members were mostly being bused to school from South Central to the San Fernando Valley.
But the band also captured that essential, indescribable mix of styles and ideas that is the city's cultural hallmark.
With its frantic blend of ska, punk, funk, soul and rock, Fishbone made music that was like the greatest party mix ever, and its frenetic live shows were all the more remarkable for the level of musicianship achieved even with all the jumping about.
Fishbone's influence on bands that would far surpass it commercially, such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jane's Addiction, Primus and No Doubt, is apparent, and it seems telling just how many other musicians were willing to participate in the documentary to attest to the outfit's influence.
As much as filmmakers Lev Anderson and Chris Metzler capture the energy and attitude of the band's early days, it is the more recent footage of Fishbone still making the most of it — despite years of personality conflicts, personnel changes and commercial disappointments — that has an emotional appeal.
"Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone." No MPAA rating. Running time: 1 hour, 47 minutes. At Laemmle's Sunset 5, West Hollywood.

This information is no longer necessary (KM, 10/29/12). We now receive the metadata in spreadsheet form.
- 1 General Guidelines
General Guidelines
- When working with a photo collection that has already been processed by one of Marina's students, copy the information as is from the info sheets found in that student's binder. Ask Marina for help finding the appropriate binder/info sheets.
- When working with an unprocessed photo collection or some other type of collection, and you are writing metadata
- Never abbreviate, especially states and months
- Do not use periods at the end of fields (except it is okay in 'Notes' field, because that information is administrative metadata only, not to be used in the final metadata
- Be consistent with your terminology in descriptions and titles; for instance, if you start using "railroad track" don't switch over to "train track"
- Don't be afraid to take a second and look up information online, such as hunting down the county appropriate to a city (especially for Alabama counties; this is less important for large cities out of state) or confirming the spelling of a proper noun (like the name of a well-known person or a place name)
Digital Collection Title
We are currently using the title of the actual physical collection, which can be found on the box you're working from and its folders. Please use the full name, rather than the abbreviated version we use for our file system. Examples: Josiah and Amelia Gayle Gorgas Family Papers; Jefferson Jackson Coleman photo collection.
Album Identifier
Number Hoole has assigned to the album. If there is only one, it is album number one. Album numbers are given consecutively and in the following format: (four-digit year).(three-digit collection number).(three-digit album number). Example: 2008.001.001. Note: The first two sets of numbers will be the same as the first two sets of numbers for the image identifier.
Image Identifier
Number Hoole has assigned to the image. Album numbers are given consecutively and in the following format: (four-digit year).(three-digit collection number).(six-digit image number). Example: 2008.004.000098. If numbering photographs yourself, number them in order, padding the number from the left with enough zeroes to fill it out to six digits.
File Name
Title of image.
Description of image.
Cities, counties, and states maybe be known for the whole collection, may be given on back of photo, or maybe be inferred because location of photo matches that of another with city/county/state given on back. In general, fill in if known or possible to determine given what you do know. If unknown or impossible to determine, leave blank.
- City: Where photograph was taken. Fill in if known. If not, leave blank.
- County: Where photograph was taken. Fill in if known. If city other type of locatable location (such as a state park) given but no county, look up county online. If no city or other location given, leave blank. Do not abbreviate name or include the word County or Co.
- State: Where photograph was taken. Fill in if known. If city/county/location given and you don't know what state it's in, look it up online. Do not abbreviate state names. For example, Alabama, not AL or Ala.
Date or Year
When photograph was taken. Always give in the format Year Month Day. Always give year in four digits (1976, not '76). Never abbreviate month (January, not Jan.). If specific month or day unknown, simply leave them off. If given a span of years, list them with a hyphen between; example: 1898-1899.
- 1914 March 12.
- 1914 March.
- 1914.
- 1914-1917.
The image's photographer, or sometimes simply the person who collected and/or donated the collection. Leave blank for Marina to determine later.
The type of processing on the photograph. Leave blank for Marina to determine later.
Case Present
Whether the photograph is enclosed in a case. Fill in with yes or no. Chances are, if you are doing your own metadata as you process a collection, it will be a collection that does not include case photographs, so the whole column will be filled with none.
Case Size
Dimensions of the case, if there is one. If there are no case photographs (if your whole Case Present field is filled with none), you may delete this column or simple leave the field blank.
What type of mount is the photograph on, if any. If it is not a mounted photograph, enter none. If photograph is included in an album, enter album.

Karl Lagerfeld Wearing Green in New York City | Pictures
Breaking: Karl Lagerfeld Is Not Wearing Black
Breaking: Karl Lagerfeld Is Not Wearing Black
Whatever happened to all black everything? It's rare to see Karl Lagerfeld wearing an ensemble that isn't predominantly black, but the Kaiser was spotted in New York's SoHo neighborhood on Tuesday wearing head-to-toe olive. He paired his green tweed suit with his customary high white collar and fingerless driving gloves and affixed an oversize bumblebee brooch to his blue and brown striped tie.
Lagerfeld once said that he sticks to black because "in black you can forget about yourself. I don't think about myself when I am looking at materials and doing fittings . . . When you work in fashion, and you have to work with all the colours, you can't be there in green, pink or something very fancy, because, in the end, you have the feeling that you are just a sample yourself."
The designer will be among his samples this week. He's currently in New York shooting Chanel's Spring 2013 campaign with models Stella Tennant and Ondria Hardin. He's also scheduled to do a shoot for Harper's Bazaar and to speak at WWD's CEO Summit. We wonder if the black will be back by the time he takes the podium?

I spotted this question on Super User about creating parameterized queries in Excel 2007 and attempted to answer it – as I thought it would be pretty easy.
And well – it was easy – the part part where you create the query, that is. Now creating parameterized queries – now that's something totally different. I searched around a bit for documentation on doing so – and found that any articles on the same were woefully inadequate. To be specific: There are plenty of articles on how to change the parameters – just head over to Properties -> Query Definition -> Parameters. Ok, cool. Now hang on, the Parameters button is disabled. How the heck am I supposed to get it enabled ? I had a ball of a time trying to figure out a way to do it – and in the end, found the answer, and posted it. Figured might as well post it here for my reference… and for others who are searching for a way to do the same.

Two Lovers is a melancholy love triangle played in a melodramatic key -- an age old tale of "She loves him, he loves another, but that other loves a married man."
The twists here are intentional and coincidental. The man torn between two women is bipolar. One lover represents a last shot at normal; the other a shared delusion.
And the coincidental twist is that this may be the last time anyone sees Joaquin Phoenix clean-shaven. A genuine flake who might be having one over on us, the actor announced his "retirement" from movies and his desire for a music career. Apparently, no one on the set of his "final film" said "Don't quit your day job" after his rap and dance scenes in the movie.
As he has so often, Phoenix plays damaged goods here. We meet Leonard just as he's jumping off a (very low) bridge on his way home in Brighton Beach. He's tried to take his own life. "Again," his mother (Isabella Rossellini) adds, when he shows up at home soaking wet.
Leonard is medicated. He has his good days and his zoned-out ones. He works in the family dry cleaners, sometimes forgets to deliver the clothes in his charge and takes black-and-white landscape photos to express his isolation. Yet somehow this chap is catnip to the ladies.
There's Sandra (Vinessa Shaw), the beautiful but needy daughter of the man Leonard's dad is selling the business to. The families are both Jewish and on good terms. So Sandra forgives the unreturned calls. She gets him, she thinks -- "I just want to take care of you."
But Leonard wants to be the one doing the caretaking. He's smitten by the new neighbor, Michelle, played by Gwyneth Paltrow as the very picture of shiksa appeal. He wants to rescue her from her drug use, her affair with a married lawyer.
"You're crazy," she giggles. "That's what they tell me!" he cackles back.
Co-writer/director James Gray, who worked with Phoenix on We Own the Night and The Yards, keeps his camera on Leonard, following his subtle mood swings, zeroing in on what makes him long for one woman and not-quite-dismiss the other. Leonard's choices are stark -- the pretty but conventional woman his family approves of and the troubled neighbor he watches through her window and who could be his undoing.
Phoenix put his all into this portrait of a man barely keeping it together, someone wracked with guilt (he lies to everyone), distracted and rude with Sandra, worshipful and solicitous of Michelle. It's a nice acting job complemented by Paltrow at her high-class lowdown sexiest and Shaw's vulnerability.
Phoenix's performance overwhelms the slight story. And the current off-screen Phoenix melodrama fits a little too neatly into this piece of fiction to be ignored. Does Phoenix share some of Leonard's bipolar delusions? Will his "choices," once acting fame and fortune dry up, be the likes of Paltrow or that not-exactly-leftovers Shaw? Only in the movies, pal.

Hi Tracey,
just wanted to say happy new year and ask how you and Alice and Emily and Ian are doing. I sent you an e-mail but our server has been playing up so not sure if you got it!
I cannot believe your gilrs are already 4.5 months - how time flies! Did you start them on solids - what are you feeding them? Are they sleeping well?
We are getting better and better, just past the 3 months, almost on Gina's routine although not keeping completely stricktly to the sleeping times, but it helps to be following it. Nadia almost sleeps through although she does not eat her bottle during the day, little devil and then gets hungry around 6, but that's not too bad!
lots of love and greetings from me,

When the smoke clears, you'll be the last rider standing. The KTM 250 XC-W is one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world of Enduro, pummeling it's more complex 4-stroke rivals. All muscle, no fat: this 2-stroke machine is as lean as it is powerful.
- Engine: The engine of the KTM 250 XC-W has been known and respected for being the most powerful 2-stroke engine in its class. 2-strokes really do have a future at KTM. Their outstanding power-to-weight ratio, low cost and simplicity see to that. The KTM 250 XC-W engine has been optimized for mass centralization comes with a twin-valve controlled power valve, a balancer shaft for less engine vibrations, a 5-speed transmission and a hydraulically operated DDS clutch. This compact firecracker truly outshines the competition with its ripping performance and is the right choice for lovers of low purchasing and maintenance costs. Oh, and of course don't forget that 2-stroke snarl when you're on the pipe.
- Cylinder: This compact cylinder with a 66.4mm bore features a cutting-edge power valve unit with a sophisticated mechanism for the lateral support exhaust ports. Matched to a twin-component cylinder head, it is KTM's secret to all-round grunt. The layout of the water jackets in the cylinder and head guarantees efficient heat dissipation when the going gets tough.
- Crankcases: These die-cast crankcases allow the implementation of a balancer shaft. So your ride will be as relaxed as it is rapid. Plus, your new favorite engine will keep looking as fresh as the day you bought it: its engine covers feature a smart surface structure in order to reduce the wear caused by the rider's boots.
- Transmission: This 6-speed transmission features an Enduro-specific wide-ratio specification and provides precise and easy shifting. An advanced ´No Dirt´ gear shift lever design prevents muck from blocking the joint. Because even dirt lovers hate mud when it's in the wrong places.
- Balancer Shaft: Say goodbye to numb feet and hands. This engine design allows the implementation of a lateral balancer shaft in order to keep the vibrations to a minimum. You know what that means: more comfort, less fatigue, more racing.
- Clutch: The KTM 250 XC-W employs the KTM-developed DDS clutch (damped diaphragm steel) with a wear-free steel basket, extremely heat resistant clutch plates and new, nitrated steel liners. This clever design employs a diaphragm spring instead of the usual coil springs, making for considerably easier clutch action. A diaphragm spring also leaves sufficient space for a damping system to be integrated into the clutch hub. The goal is traction, but durability is as well. Light operation and telepathic amounts of control are standard with this hydraulic Brembo actuated clutch.
- Carburetor: The KTM 250 XC-W is fitted with a MIKUNI TMX carburetor. This 38mm flat slide carb lives to provide smooth and controllable power all the way up to the rev limitation. With a new intake manifold the carburetor is turned 7° in order to reduce the overflow of fuel. And it's less sensitive to different altitudes and temperatures, so you can pin it wherever, whenever. It gets a new setting too, improving power delivery and rideability.
- Exhaust System: The engineers meticulously tuned the pipe for maximum torque and power, so this screamer is as tough as it is strong.
- Ignition: All 2-stroke models feature a new CDI control unit with an advanced hardware which improves the starting behavior of the engine. The ignition curves remain unchanged.
Slim and Smart
- Featherweight: KTM engineers just love dropping weight year after year. The result: the 2018 KTM XC-W models are the slimmest, lightest dirt bikes out there.
- Frame: The high-tech, lightweight chrome-moly steel frame has a knack for easy handling, outlandish rideability, precise cornering and excellent stability. You can also count on high torsional rigidity and low longitudinal stiffness. This results in better absorption of the energy created from the front and rear suspension, sucking up jumps and bumps. In short: more comfort and less rider fatigue. Laterally attached, lightweight aluminum engine head stays (the connection between cylinder head and frame) contribute to precise cornering and a reduced vibration level. The engineers were able to pull off all this while making their frame 2.2 pounds lighter than that of the lightest competitor on the market. In addition, it is easier to maintain, easier to work on and supplies more space for the tank and other components. The bike also features an extra-light subframe made of strong yet light aluminum which tips the scales at less than 2 pounds.
- Footpegs: Sophisticated ´No Dirt´ footpegs prevent jamming up the pegs, even when digging in deep ruts. The pegs on the Enduro models are 6mm higher than the ones used on SX models, which benefits ground clearance. But you can swap them at will.
- Battery & Wiring harness: A strong lithium ion battery breathes life into the engine and contributes to low vehicle weight. The lightweight battery and wiring harness are centralized in a compartment above the air filter box, allowing the mechanic to remove the subframe without moving the electronics. A happy mechanic is a good mechanic.
- Air filter box: The air filter box design offers maximum protection of the air filter against soiling, while ensuring maximum airflow. The large Twin Air filter is mounted in a stiff cage, which at the same time holds the system in place. This design is so simple, you could still pop a fresh one in with a face full of mud. Without tools. In seconds.
- Handlebar: KTM engineers know how to handle handlebars. This tapered unit, made of high-strength aluminum by NEKEN, features a throttle assembly with a robust aluminum body and easy free-play adjustment. An ODI volcanized grip sits on the right, while on the left side of the bar a comfortable ODI lock-on grip requires no glue or wire to secure it.
- Swingarm: The cast aluminum design offers low weight and a perfect flex behavior. The single-component casting process eliminates any inconsistencies and inherent weak points created by welding. It's better looking too.
- Fuel tank: A lightweight polyethylene tank with a capacity of 2.5 gallons. You will always be able to see how much fuel there's left at a glance, thanks to the see-through plastic. By pushing the orange release button in the center of the fuel tank cap, the bayonet mechanism makes refueling quick and easy.
- Wheels: The XC-W wheels feature lightweight, CNC machined hubs and high-end Giant rims guaranteeing maximum stability at minimum weight. The wheels are fitted with Dunlop tires – perfect for surefooted performance off-road.
- Cooling system: KTM's proven cooling system routes the coolant from the cylinder head through the frame triangle, directly to aluminum radiators made by WP. Thanks to flow optimized internal circulation and CFD-calculated ventilation, the system is superbly efficient. In addition, new radiator protections improve heat dissipation. Especially in the mud. They are also integrated into the front part of the shrouds to protect the radiators in a crash.
Handle Anything
- Rear suspension: The PDS is kind of a KTM trademark where the shock absorber is directly connected to the upper side of the swingarm. This setup boasts the best possible mounting geometry and provides amazingly progressive damping. The shock absorber is mounted close to the centerline, which means nearly symmetrical loads for the swingarm and frame and more space for the exhaust system. A second piston works together with a closed cup (instead of a needle) towards the end of the stroke and is supported by a progressive shock spring for exceptional bottoming resistance. Various machined and anodized components and a distinctive WP color trim make this a valuable, high-end product compared to the less refined shock absorbers of the competition.
- Front suspension: The WP Xplor 48 upside-down fork is a split fork developed by WP in close collaboration with KTM. It is fitted with a spring on both sides, but features separated functions for each fork leg: compression damping is fitted on the left side, while rebound is on the right. So the fork can easily be adjusted for compression and rebound with the twist of a dial on top of the fork tubes (30 clicks each). In addition, a longer and sealed hydro-stop guarantees better resistanceto bottoming-out. Due to high-quality materials anda state-of-the-art production process, the WP Xplor 48 fork – with approx. 300mm of travel – has outstanding response and damping characteristics. For 2018 redesigned outer fork tubes provide better flex characteristics for reduced stiction and less friction with a new setting for a more compliant feel. An optional preload adjuster allows for a threefold spring preload setting without any tools. Easy as one, two, three.
- Triple clamp: Fitted with forged clamps with an offset of 22mm, ensuring a solid grip of the fork and precise handling. The handlebar is adjustable forwards and backwards over 4 positions, so the XC-W will fit you like your favorite gloves.
- Brakes: These high-tech Brembo babies are combined with lightweight Wave brake discs. You couldn't brake any harder, better, faster or stronger.
Striking Good Looks
- Bodywork: KTM R&D, KISKA Design and all our factory riders had their say in shaping the plastics with one goal: complete harmony between rider and bike. Perfect ergonomics and contact points provide maximum comfort in movement on the XC-W. The I-beam structures of the front and rear fenders guarantee maximum stability and a low weight thanks to well thought-out construction and mounting. They also stay cleaner for longer.

Dear Fellow Mountain Biker:
In Sedona, AZ many passionate mountain bikers have been religiously attending the Sedona Trails Planning Process meetings. The results of these meetings will affect the building or adoption of user created trails for ten years or longer. To date we have had ten meetings and I have attended all but three. I believe there will be two more meetings before a decision is made to either allow new mountain bike trails in Sedona or not allow them. At this point we need your help in completing the survey (Red Rock Trails Plan Update Survey ) in a positive mountain biking stance.
The survey will take you about ten minutes to complete. I am friends with traildoc and these are his answers to the survey:
#1. Mountain biking
#2. Your Choice
#3. In the Other Box I Typed in Add User Created Mountain Bike Trails, 2nd I checked Add New Trails, 3rd I checked Volunteer Trail Work Program, 4th I Checked Trail Signage and 5th I Checked Trail Classification and Rating
#4. I checked Single Track and you should pick what other choices fit your riding style.
#5. I checked Single Track plus two additional choices that you feel are important.
#6. I put Connector trails that enhance the current trail system in the other box.
#7. I put Connector trails that allow multiple loop options in the other box. 2nd, 3rd & 4th choices are your preference.
#8. As a part-time hiker, I put in Easy-Needs More, More Difficult- Needs More
#9. This is a mountain biker question, so I put in Easy- Needs More, More Difficult-Needs More. I found this a difficult question because of the amount of mileage given for each classification. A 10-15 mile length of new trail in Sedona doesnt seem possible under our current budget.
#10. This is an equestrian question, so I wasnt sure what to put in, so I put Dont Know in all the choices.
#11. Your Call
#12. This is a difficult survey question to answer since all boxes can be checked without any preference. Obviously some of the funds should come from the FS, but if they dont have a big budget they are unable to add new trails as fast as some would hope for which means other funding is needed from other funding sources.
Our IMBA rep Patrick Kell has posted this survey on his Facebook page, so the local MTB community appreciates his support.
