Sound system
General information
Arch sound system contains of several levels:
- Kernel drivers and interface – hardvare support, providing general capabilities (software mixing etc)
- Usermode API (libraries) – for application access
- (optional) Usermode sound servers – more advanced capabilities
- (optional) Sound frameworks – crossplatform and easy access for applications (pulled-in during application installation)
Default Arch installation already includes kernel sound system, namely ALSA, and lots of utilities for it, to be installed from Official repositories. Ones who want additional features can switch to another one (namely OSS) or install one of several sound servers.
- irqbalance
- linux-rt
- schedtool/nice (with sound server)
- The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) — Linux kernel component intended to provide device drivers for sound cards
- http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page || present int stock kernel
- The Open Sound System (OSS) — alternative sound architecture for Unix-like and POSIX-compatible systems. OSS version 3 was the original sound system for Linux and is in the kernel but was superceded by ALSA in 2002 when OSS version 4 became proprietary software. OSSv4 became free software again in 2007 when 4Front Technologies released its source code and provided it under the GPL license
Sound servers
- The Jack-Audio-Connection-Kit — sound server for advanced use, and is generally used by professionals looking to record. Regardless it does support mixing, although to get non JACK aware applications to work, a plugin has to be provided. The alsa-plugins package will pull this in.
- JACK2 — also called JACK-mp, it is the next version of JACK, with support for multi-processors and for network audio
- PulseAudio — popular sound server, provided by many distributives

Michelle Williams and Family Celebrate at Heath's Funeral
Heath's Celebration!
Heath's Celebration!
Today in Heath Ledger's hometown, 600 people came out to mourn and celebrate the late actor's life. The invite only ceremony included family and friends, but no baby Matilda. Songs were sung including a lullaby by Ben Harper called Happily Ever After in Your Eyes written for Matilda per Heath's request almost two years ago. The family and Cate Blanchett spoke as well as Michelle Williams who read Shakespeare's, Sonnet 18, you know, "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day." After the sad ceremony, the mood changed as 50 of the friends, including Michelle, ran onto a beach with (and some without) their clothes on. Here are more details of the celebration, which finally produced some smiles that would have made Heath proud:
Those in the water laughed and cheered as Michelle watched from the shore. Ledger's sister Kate also took a dive into the water and was surrounded by pals splashing around her while her father Kim Ledger watched from the restaurant's balcony and shouted, "Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray!" giving two thumbs up in the air.
As the sun began to set, the swimmers came on shore and stood in a line on both sides of Williams and linked arms. In the last five minutes, as the sun moved toward the horizon, the mourners stood in silence, watching and embracing. Williams hugged Kate Ledger and smiled as she watched the sunset at 8:15 p.m., local time. Two mourners in the group summoned up the moment as they stood behind Williams. "The sun goes down on our love," they said. "But it will never go down on Heathy."
As saddening as this whole thing has been, it is so sweet to finally see some smiles. Michelle clearly has an excellent support system and we hope she and the rest of Heath's family continues to mourn in peace as well as slowly learn to smile again.

EkhristosAnesti I said before that you have nothing to defend with me.You seem to be more concerend about how the opinions of other effect you.If people are allowed to use blinking gizmos as images of worship or to define the way they feel about their faith than so-be-it.If the fathers of the Church allow these behaviors than who am I or anyone else to say otherwise?It-is what-it-is.I see the blond haired, blue eyed, lilly white euro-centric Icons which are produced by the RCC. I also see the scrawny, human destruct of agony and despair reeling in ghastly posture in the grotesque christ like characturizations produced and distibuted by protestants all being used by the Orthodox Church. These images do not teach the word in purity but are socio-political / religio in intent. My point to you is:Blinking gizmos are not Icons and should not be used as the center of devine worship or an expression of the holy faith. This is dagerous and risky behavior. Who know where it will lead?The Church has established all the standards long ago. Blinking lights are not Orthodox.It is that simple.Iconograhpy is not easy to understand. I can assure you that It is not the open ended liberalism freedom of expression that you seem to think it is.Like a Russian Iconographer of our era recently stated: "An Icon is not a picture or a decoration to be admired. It is not to be seen in the eye of the beholder, it is not art. It is the holiness, the truth, the expression of the ineffable word of God.... The true Icon is not painted it is written".I gasped when I read that.You can be sure that this Russian would also object to electronic "icons" that blink. As it is this Russian would not understand how you and I worship in chuches with pews. They stand at all times.You have allot to learn about Icons and what they are to us.Study my brother.....study!
by the way , this is not icon this is a picture for a bishop out the church what is the problem then !!
If this picture is some how connected to a bishop than I must point out that it is not good Orthodoxy. Our Church fathers must be respected with the highest honor.
None of us are perfect but; I have found so much great detail to "pure" Orthodoxy among the Coptic.But lately it seems that things are changing in these small ways among the faithful.
I think one of EA's points was that this was not an icon, since it was not in a church or set up for veneration. Therefore, since it is not an icon, the normal rules regarding how icons are made (written) do not necessarily apply. An interesting question which comes of this is what are the rules (if any) for religious images which are not in a church or intended for veneration. For example, I know both Coptic Orthodox Christians and Armenian Orthodox Christians who have statues of the Mother of God in their gardens outside their homes. These statues are not in their prayer corners in their homes where they pray. Is this, however, a good practice? Statues, of course, are not allowed in a church, and are not to be venerated. But should they be allowed in a garden, or some other place where they are not venerated? Personally, I think "Mary gardens" are sweet, but I wonder if it is proper for an Orthodox Christian. Sorry to redirect the topic, but this is something I always wondered about and this seems somewhat related to the topic.
You seriously believe that it is wrong to venerate statues but that it is ok to venerate icons? This seems inconsistant.
Yes, the use of statues for veneration is wrong (I thought at one time I remember reading it was condemned by an Ecumenical Council, but I'd have to check to be sure on this, so don't quote me on it). There is a deeper meaning behind Icons than statues, of which I really don't understand fully myself, but I'm sure someone on here better than I could explain the true meaning of Icons (they are more than just pretty paintings that represent a holy figure). EDIT: I think the statues were indeed banned by the 7th Ecumenical Council, as I found this from a Greek Orthodox parish website: "The practice of keeping the Holy Icons eventually lead to great controversy in the Church. In the Eighth Century a group called the Iconoclasts, under pressure from the encroaching Turks made a move to have the Holy Icons banned and destroyed, causing a great division amongst the Christian Church. This controversy led to the convening of the 7th Ecumenical Council in 787. That Synod decreed that the Holy Icons are to be used to render honor (veneration) to the person honored, but not worship, since worship is due God alone. This Ecumenical decision is the source of the annual celebration of the Triumph of Orthodoxy on the First Sunday of Great Lent. At the same synod, the use of statues, the use of which had become perverted over time, was banned."

Flexo Homework Gets Good Marks
- Published: December 01, 2008
Charlotte, NC | Parking permits at Fort Mill High School (FMHS), Fort Mill, SC, were ready before the start of school this year, thanks to flexo teacher Jerry Howell and student Scott Forsyth. Using label stock donated by Raflatac and the printing facilities of Flexo Trade Services, Howell and Forsyth printed 3,600 permits in one day.
Forsyth, like all FMSH flexo students, received much of the training that made this project possible thanks to the donation of a FlexSys Press Simulator to FMHS by Harper Corp. of America.
"Projects like this are great real-world experiences for our students," says Howell. "It gives them great pride to see their work used for official and professional purposes, and it drives home the importance of flexo in our daily lives."

For several area athletes, a summer of competitive rowing culminated in a trip to St. Catherine's, Ontario last week for the 130th Annual Royal Canadian Henley Regatta.
Jen Sager, who graduated from Springside Chestnut Hill Academy in June and has been rowing for Vesper Boat Club this summer, won a gold medal in the Senior Women's Lightweight Eight, and finished third in the Under 23 Lightweight Double. A rising junior at Germantown Friends School, Ethan Genyk, was a member of Penn A.C. Rowing Association's Under 17 Men's Eight that finished third in its category.
His younger sister Rebecca, who will enter GFS as a freshman next month, was coxswain for a Fairmount Rowing Association Under 17 Four that included Tommy Walker, a Chestnut Hill resident and a rising junior at La Salle High School.
Another participant was Maria Georgiou, a Hill native who is about to start her senior year at Penn Charter. The PC sculler, who attended the Olympic Games in London and took in several rowing events, hurried home to race in a Under 19 Women's Quad for Fairmount. Finishing third in their opening heat race, her crew was 1.72 seconds out of second place, but only the top two in each heat continued on in the regatta.
In addition to Fairmount's Under 17 Four, Tommy Walker was in an Under 17 Double and an Under 19 Four, but those boats did not advance out of the heats. In the four coxed by Rebecca Genyk, Walker and his fellow oarsmen won their opening heat by two seconds, and took second place in their semi-final race to reach the finals on Sunday. There they finished fifth, registering a time of seven minutes, 19.99 seconds on the 2000-meter course.
SCH's Sager, who's headed for Trinity College, had a one-and-done experience in the Under 23 Lightweight Single in Ontario. She missed the cut-off to advance to the semifinals by eight one-hundredths of a second.
Sager fared much better in her lightweight double, where she was paired up with Alyssa Machida, a University of California rower who has been training on the East Coast this summer.
The duo took first in their heat by more than five-and-a-half seconds, and then won their semifinal race by a little over a second against an Argentinian tandem from the Buenos Aires Rowing Club.
In the finals last Saturday, Sager and Machida completed the course in seven minutes, 16.05 seconds to place third behind the Peterborough (Ontario) Rowing Club (7:12.45) and a twosome from the University of British Columbia (7:14.59). The Vesper double finished ahead of another Ontario crew, Buenos Aires, and an entry from New York.
On Sunday, the final day of the regatta, Sager and Machida were part of a gold medal crew, but this first-place finish took less effort than their third-place result in the double. In Vesper's Senior Lightweight Eight, they were competing in a category with only three entries overall. There was no need for anything but a "final" race, which Vesper won in 6:40.16 over runner-up St. Catherine's Rowing Club (6:49.72) and third place Calgary (Alberta) Rowing Club (7:01.74).
Germantown Friends' Ethan Genyk had originally planned to race in three events at the Canadian Henley, but Penn A.C. decided not to participate in the U-17 Quad category. He did compete in a four-man sweep boat in the Under 17 Four event, but this vessel did not make it out of the heat racing stage.
The Under 17 Eight containing Genyk placed second to St. Catherine's R.C. in its heat, which earned the Penn A.C. crew a trip straight to the finals early on Friday evening. First and second place went to St. Catherine's (6:18.71) and the Oakland (Calif.) Strokes (6:27.19), while Genyk's boat was next across the line in 6:30.62.

Yes it is extremly good question, you have to check quality and qualification of your zen teachers over there in your country.. are they real or are they foxes??? this I do not know.
why not, of course yes.. he would boil brains of those poor women. Attack was almost immediate, and he put in hell poor 'victims'... he was so rude! but wonderful wanted so much to liberate them from fixation of their own injuries and I,me obsession...
kissing, catching, making verbal remarks, showing genitals etc. am I right???Do you understand what I mean by 'sexual harassment?'
Maybe, how can I know, I am not them.. by the way everyone here is spinning the same old thread of one's own stubborn opinions, right???You keep spouting the same rhetoric which doesn't seem particularly grounded in reality.

Anyway good luck, it was very nice to have this conversation with you, I really mean it

This Week In Gaucho Baseball (TWIGB)
Saturday, February 10, 11 am - Oregon State (Doubleheader) Sunday, Febuary 11, 1 pm - Oregon State
It's The Numbers
With one three-game series in the books, the Gauchos have to be scratching their collective heads. The team hit .378 with 18 extra-base hits, including six homers (Von Schell 2, Stringham 2, Peshke, Warrecker), slugging its way to a healthy .655 percentage. UCSB's 10.80 ERA is barely higher than its opponent's 10.67 mark. So why did head coach Bob Brontsema's team go 1-2 in San Jose? UCSB made 12 errors to San Jose State's 1.
Told You So
In more than one preseason publication, and certainly in this one, the Celebrated Gaucho Infield was heralded as being the backbone of the 2001 team. After three games, nothing could be truer. The foursome, including three 2000 All-Big West selections, went 25-for-45 (.556) at San Jose State. First baseman Tyler Von Schell led the group, going 7-for-11 with two doubles, two homers, and a team-best six ribbies. Both he and third baseman Dave Molidor tallied three multi-hit games, while second sacker Chad Peshke scored a UCSB-high six runs and shortstop Jeff Bannon closed the series with a 4-for-4 day Sunday.
Who Are These Guys?
Junior transfers James Garcia (El Camino JC) and Jed Stringham (Utah Valley State) are good. Garcia turned in a quality start on the mound in the season opener, giving up four runs on seven hits while fanning seven and walking just one in seven innings of work to earn his first career win at UCSB. Stringham also shined in his first start as a Gaucho, pouring in five RBI on the strength of two toweringly towering homers in a 3-for-4 day.
The Man With The Plan
Bob Brontsema returns for his eighth season as Gaucho skipper. He owns a career record of 177-193 (.478). UCSB's best record under Brontsema came in 1996, when it went 32-20 overall and 14-7 in Big West games, good for an NCAA Regionals appearance. With his 28-25 finish in 2000, Brontsema has posted two straight over-.500 campaigns, the school's first such achievement since 1992.
Gaucho Baseball: Who's Next?
It's not the California Lottery, but it's still pretty darn exciting. UCSB will open its home season this weekend with a double-dip with Oregon State Saturday and single game Sunday. The Beavers are 0-3 on the young season after suffering a sweep at Cal State Northridge by an average margin of 17-9. Brian Barden leads the team with seven RBI and is hitting .333. Ben Rowe was State's best option on the mound, giving up four earned runs in five innings (7.20) and taking the loss Saturday.
The Bottom Line: Hitting and Pitching Leaders
Von Schell .636, Bannon .556, Molidor .538, Peshke .500, Stringham .500, Schumaker .375, Ogle 1.80, Garcia 5.14.

Can't decide what paint color to paint a wall or a piece of furniture? Behr recently revealed the top-selling interior paint colors so you can take the guesswork out of the process.
The results are in: just revealed the most popular interior paint colors, based on the most purchased paints at The Home Depot. And to no surprise, they're all stunning. Behr color expert Erika Woelfel shared with us her forecast for each color family, and the most popular Behr shades to use in your next DIY project or on your walls. Below, check out these gorgeous paint colors in homes and expert tips on how to incorporate them throughout your spaces.
1. Interior Paint Colors: Porcelain Peach
"Oranges are transitioning from sweet and tropical to burnt and brewed with a cast of red," says Woelfel. Here, a calmer shade of the zippy color is shown on the walls. It's perfect for rooms with minimal lighting since the buttery color makes the space feel warm. For furniture, stick to whites, creams, and other neutrals so the color doesn't overpower the room, and avoid black (you don't want the room feel like it's Halloween).
2. Interior Paint Colors: Behr Very Navy
"Vivid blues are also being toned down in favor of deep, smoky blues and variations of indigo, denim and navy," says Woelfel. Deep blues are best for social spaces, like the living room, to make the space feel inviting and full of energy.
3. Interior Paint Colors: Pale Honey
"Yellows are moving away from sunlit and subtle, and towards deep, saturated shades," says Woelfel. "Expect to see both brassy green and warm orange versions in upcoming palettes." These warmer shades, as seen here, are less risky than traditionally bright hues. But if you want to stick to bright yellow shades, use them as accents.
4. Interior Paint Colors: In The Moment
"The green color family is trending toward cool, spruce shades and mint and pistachio pastels, as well as dark, edgy forest greens," says Woelfel. So why choose green? It's less expected than blue but just as versatile. It instantly energizes a room and brings the outdoors inside. Here, these minty walls resemble the sky, creating a calming effect.
5. Interior Paint Colors: Swirling Water Paint
"Popular purples now range anywhere from red-cast, wine-influenced tones to deep plums and light, dusty lilacs," says Woelfel. You might shy away from this royal color because it reminds you of your childhood, but a soft lilac, as pictured here, brightens a room instead of making it childlike. This shade can also soften large, masculine pieces of furniture and pops against a contrasting color like green.
6. Interior Paint Colors: Dark Crimson
"Bright, red-hot hues will give way to rustier versions with orange and brown undertones," says Woelfel. Afraid to incorporate this zesty color into your home? Infuse it into details like pillows, a hamper, or a wooden mirror — or stick to one accent wall.More inspiring ideas click the up coming site paint colors

Pesticides in Long Island Sound Lobsters. What Does It Mean?
It is an interesting finding, but it's also perplexing. Researchers will now look for a cause and effect link between pesticides and the 1999 lobster die-off in Long Island Sound. But it's not clear to me how this discovery in 2012 will lead to any conclusions about something that happened 13 years ago.
To review: There was an enormous die-off of lobsters in the Sound in 1999. The die-off coincided with the spraying of pesticides to kill mosquitoes during a West Nile outbreak. It also coincided with a period of warming water temperatures in the Sound. And it coincided with a peak in the Sound's commercial lobster catch.
The warmer water is significant because the American lobster, Homarus americanus, is a cold-water species, and Long Island Sound is at the extreme southern end of its inshore range. In other words, before the Sound's water started warming, water temperatures in the Sound were about as warm as lobsters could tolerate anyway.
So by the late 1990s, there were millions of lobsters living in conditions that were unsuitable for them. The Sound's lobster population was stressed by a change in habitat conditions.
The peak in the commercial catch is interesting because throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Long Island Sound – particularly the western half – was essentially a lobster ranch. Lobstermen would consistently pull traps crammed with 20 lobsters feeding on bait; typically 19 of those lobsters were too small to be kept legally. So the lobstermen would throw them back. The small lobsters would then enter more traps and continue to feed on the bait, and so on until the lobsters were big enough to keep.
In other words the lobstermen were essentially ranching or farming lobsters, feeding them on bait in cages, and spurring the growth in population. Overpopulation was another source of stress. (That, by the way, is not just my opinion; it was the conclusion of the Connecticut DEEP and the New York State DEC.)
Scientists concluded a decade ago that water temperature and overpopulation were among a few environmental stresses that led to the die-off by making the lobsters vulnerable to a parasite that killed them.
Now maybe pesticides should be added to that list. Or not.
The recent tests that detected the presence of pesticides in Sound lobsters are far more sensitive than previous tests. They were able to find concentrations of pesticides that were too small to be detected 10 years ago.
The tests of course don't answer the question of whether the pesticides were there in 1999. Also still to be determined is whether the tiny amounts detected are enough to do any damage to the lobsters. It's also unknown whether pesticides will show up in a new batch of lobsters being tested now.
And it's important to remember that the new tests are from this year. The lobsters die-off happened in 1999. And once they died, they stayed dead – the population has not rebounded.
So if the lobster population died off in 1999, what is the significance of pesticides found in Long Island Sound lobsters in 2012?
Again, the presence of pesticides in Long Island Sound lobsters is an interesting finding. But for now al it means is that pesticides were found in a few lobsters. It does not mean – yet – that pesticides are hurting the lobsters. Nor does it mean – yet – that pesticides caused the lobster die-off in 1999. Further tests may answer those questions.
Does it sound as if I am trying to rationalize or excuse the use of pesticides? I'm not. You can read just about everything I've written on this blog about pesticides and lobsters here. We as a society use way, way too many pesticides. I'm for banning or severely limiting their use.
But the more important reality may be that there are no longer a significant number of lobsters in the Sound because the habitat has changed and Long Island Sound simply is no longer lobster habitat.
The DEEP's press release about it is here, although you'll notice that they bury the pesticide finding in the 13th paragraph.

What did you use for that Legends Goldbug head? I really like it.
Posted 18 April 2012 - 03:18 PM
If you saw it today, you wouldn't feel bad at all.
Why, I used Goldbug!
Like most good ideas, I stole it from someone else. I don't remember who made the discovery, but you can pop off the head of a G1 Goldbug, shave down the sides a bit, and glue it right on Legends Goldbug. The effect is indeed very nice, even when you don't do a very good job, which I didn't.

I've been a huge fan of classic animation (especially Warner Bros.) for decades, but I'd always thought owning real animation art would be out of my reach. In January, I discovered a guy at the Melrose Trading Post flea market who sells production cels from mostly 1970s-1990s cartoons for very reasonable prices. He inspired me to start checking eBay regularly for good deals. Between him and eBay, I've now started a very pleasing little collection, and I've spent relatively little money.
The first cel I bought from the flea market dude, for $40. It's Bugs Bunny from a 1970s Kool-Aid commercial for the Latin American market. The Kool-Aid packets are real wrappers, glued right on the cel! Someday I'll have a "real" Bugs Bunny cel (okay, probably still never from the 1940s-1950s, those cost thousands), but this is a fun stand-in.
He threw in this dynamic He-Man cel with the Bugs. I added the printed background from someone's She-Ra DVD screenshot--it doesn't quite line up, obviously, but the colors are a good combination, and it's almost from the right show.
I love this Ren cel, from "Big Baby Scam." What a great drawing! It makes me laugh just looking at the facial expression. On a later visit to the flea market, the guy sold me this and the next one together for $100.
"Laundry day is a very dangerous day." I don't think any other Rocko's Moden Life quote has popped into my head more, so this was perfect.
The Tick vs. The Tick. eBay purchase, around $100. A little more than other Tick cels have gone for, but as soon as I saw this one, I knew it was the one for me. From an episode based on one of the original Edlund comics, bright, bold, exciting.
The gem: from "Duck Dodgers and the Return of the 24th and 1/2 Century," from a 1980 TV special. Hand-signed by the master, Chuck Jones. At under $300, this was expensive relative to the others, but a bargain compared to similar cels. Plus I happened to tell my parents I wanted to buy it, and they made it an early birthday present.
My next priority is a Simpsons cel, ideally from seasons 2-8, ideally Milhouse. I'd also love a Stimpy or even another Ren from "Space Madness," moar classic Warner Bros., and it'd be amazing to find something from a Tiny Toons TMBG music video.

Gabby Douglas finished dead last in the individual uneven bars final Monday, the same event that earned her the nickname "The Flying Squirrel" for her gravity-defying height.
She apparently turned the wrong way in her routine and could not recover well enough to earn a high score.
"I think toward the end of the Olympics you get mentally and physically tired, just like drained. I try to fight through as much as I can," said Douglas, reported the Associated Press.
It was a blow for the 16-year-old, who has been one of the stars of London 2012, winning the prestigious individual all-around title and playing a key role in the American women's team win. She will compete Tuesday in her last event, the individual balance beam finals.
Taking gold was Russia's Aliya Mustafina, who came back form a knee injury to score the first gold for the Russian womens gymnasts. Defending gold medalist He Kexin of China took silver. Great Britain's Elizabeth Tweddle, who had been favored for gold, took the bronze after stumbling on her dismount.
Douglas' work is far from over, however, as she's scheduled to compete Tuesday in the finals for the beam. She had the second-best qualifying score for the beam, tied with Komova, behind Sui Lu of China, who won gold in the event at last year's world championships.
In the men's rings competition, Brazilian Arthur Zanetti's unexpectedly took gold, a surprise for Chen Yibing, captain of the Chinese men's gymnastics team, 2008 gold medalist and four-time world champion, with Chen settling for silver. Matteo Morandi of Italy took bronze.
In the men's vault, Yang Hak-Seon of South Korea unleashed "The Yang," which involves three twists, the hardest trick in the sport, but it was punctuated by two large steps. Still, the degree of difficulty gave him a 16.466 for his first vault. His next vault was only a double twist, but he nailed the landing to take gold with a 16.533. Russia's Denis Ablyazin won silver, and Ukrainian Igor Radivilov took bronze.
American Samuel Mikulak, who won the NCAA men's individual all-around gymnastics championshiplast year, was the lone American competing in the vault. His second vault was among the best of the competition finishing tied for sixth with a score of 16.10, but his overall score was not enough to medal.

Many of the mistakes entrepreneurs make during the start-up phase can be avoided. One of the best ways to steer clear of foibles is to talk to established business owners about what they learned during the process. Ask your attorney or accountant for referrals to business owners who have relevant experience and attend trade association meetings and talk to people in the industry you are entering.
No matter how much research and preparation you do, you will make mistakes when you start a business, but the common errors listed here may help you avoid a few.
Common mistakes include:
1) Incorporating too quickly The first step for many people when they launch a business is to file with the state office of incorporation. While incorporating is an appropriate step for many businesses, it pays to wait until your business idea is well formed before taking the plunge. The reason: the concept of your business and therefore the name is likely to change during the first few months of operation. 2) Not researching the market A frequently overlooked component of business start up is determining whether the target market for your product or service will buy from you. The best way to derive the answer to this question is to ask them. Arrange to speak to as many of your potential customers as possible. Questions to ask include: Would you buy my product or service? Where do you currently obtain this product or service? How much would you be willing to pay for it? What do you like/dislike about your current provider? Where would you look for this product or service when you need it? 3) Wanting to over-use an attorney Attorneys' hourly fees add up extremely quickly and newly-minted business owners are often shocked by their first few legal bills. The temptation when you start is to involve your attorney in all aspects of your business for counsel and drafting of documents. Many business owners quickly learn that it pays to do your own research, draft your own documents, and call on the expertise of your attorney to refine your work. 4) Spending too much money on office space and decorations A nice office and great computer equipment make many entrepreneurs feel as though their dream of entrepreneurism is coming true. While one of the pleasures of launching a business is setting up an office that you are proud of, expensive trappings have put many businesses out of business before they got off the ground.

We get it: you made a lot of promises to yourself on January 1. You'd get fit, wake up early, drink more water, and balance your checkbook...and, of course, none of those things have quite happened.
Well, we have good news: these beauty resolutions are simple and easy...and you won't believe the results!
1. Do: Invest in good brushes and tools
Do: Invest in good brushes and tools.
Excuse me, but why are you still hanging on to that $2 blush brush you bought from Target a decade ago? If you use makeup every day, investing in good quality brushes should be a priority, especially because dirty, old brushes are brimming with oil and bacteria which can lead to breakouts. Invest in a new set!
2. Don't: Hang on to old makeup and brushes.
Don't: Hang on to old makeup and brushes.
Ok, now that you've gone ahead and purchased a wonderful new set of brushes -- it's time to toss out the old ones! Dump out all your makeup, and examine each and every product, checking for quality and smell. If the product has a weird, chemical odor, toss it. While foundation and lip gloss are good for up to two years, mascara needs to be replaced more frequently and should be thrown out after about six months. The final step in your makeup purge should be throwing away all your worn out brushes and thoroughly washing the rest. Just use a drop of regular shampoo and warm water and lay them flat to dry on a towel!
3. Do: Invest in bi-weekly manicures.
Do: Invest in bi-weekly manicures.
Or learn to do it yourself! Either way, it's hard to look put together when your nails are uneven or your polish is chipped. Even if you're a no-frills kind of gal, make sure your nails are clean and well-kept.
4. Don't: Bite your nails.
Don't: Bite your nails.
It's time to stop. We know it's hard for all you Type-A personalities who have problems with teeth clenching and nail biting, but did you know that you can actually get worms from biting your nails? Yes, picture that for a few seconds every time you think about sticking your fingers in your mouth.
5. Do: Get more sleep.
Do: Get more sleep.
Seriously, we know it's hard to get to bed at a reasonable hour....especially if you've been binge watching Orange Is The New Black for the last four hours. Shut your computer, and get some shut eye instead. Getting more sleep can curb inflammation, keep your weight down, and prevent dark eye circles in the morning. They call it "beauty rest" for a reason.
6. Don't: Drink caffeinated sodas.
Don't: Drink caffeinated sodas.
Ok, so you went to bed late last night (even though we just told you not to) and now you need a Diet Coke to get you through the afternoon slump. From a beauty perspective, soda does a lot of damage to your teeth -- destroying enamel tooth surfaces and staining your pearly whites. Not to mention, carbonated beverages can lead to unflattering and uncomfortable bloating, and who wants that?
7. Do: Figure out your skin type.
Do: Figure out your skin type.
You have no excuse to be using products that specifically say "For Oily Skin" when you know your skin is dry in some places. Do a little bit of research about different skin types and the products that work, or book an appointment with your dermatologist if you're confused.
8. Don't: Use foundation that's the wrong color.
Don't: Use foundation that's the wrong color.
On that note, using foundation, BB cream, tinted moisturizer, or concealer that doesn't match your skin is a huge beauty no-no. Your color should blend seamlessly with your skin tone, so you look like you have naturally perfect skin -- not like you piled on a bottle of orange concealer. Head over to your favorite department or beauty store, and ask a sales associate for help. They'd be happy to try out different shades on your jawline, so you can walk away with the perfect match. Remember, if you tan in the summer, you may need to reevaluate your foundation and purchase a darker product for those months.
9. Do: Wear sunscreen.
Do: Wear sunscreen
This one should be obvious, but sadly, most of us chicas still don't bother to slather on some SPF before we leave our house in the am. Yes, you need to wear sunscreen to the beach, but you also need to wear it to the office. UV rays can do unspeakable damage to your skin. Besides causing cancer, the sun can cause cosmetic damage: leaving you with wrinkles, tough, leathery skin, and discoloration. Do yourself a favor and slather on one of these five sunscreens before heading out the door.
10. Don't: Go to tanning salons.
Don't: Go to tanning salons.
Yes, they are just as bad as actually frying your skin in the sun. Skip the tanning salon, and instead opt for a self-tanner or bronze-tinted body lotion. Even Jennifer Lopez, who's known for her luminous glow, admitted that she gets her sun-kissed look from Body Bling -- not from tanning salons or sun exposure. Just like with foundation, make sure to choose the self-tanner that best matches your complexion. After all, you want to look glowing -- not orange. Here are a few we love.

Economists study how people make choices in life in response to the incentives and tradeoffs that they face. Economics is a broad-ranging discipline that examines all types of markets, industrial and labor organizations, the distribution of income and ownership rights, governmental activities, and political and economic philosophies.
Our faculty includes economists who have acquired national and international reputations, received many grants and awards, and served as members of the editorial boards of a number of highly respected academic journals such as the Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization and Defence and Peace Economics.
Rodney Andrews, a Harvard University Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Scholar, directs Texas Schools Projects and the UT Dallas Education Research Center.
Todd Sandler, the Vibhooti Shukla Professor of Economics and Political Economy, directs the Center for Global Collective Action.
Economics degrees lead to careers in academe, corporations, government, labor, and regional and urban planning services. An economics degree is considered excellent preparation for law school or pursuing an MBA. As a group, economics majors are known to score the highest on the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) and compose the highest percentage of majors who are CEOs in the Fortune 500.
Econ Lab Schedule
The Econ Lab is for any undergraduate student who needs help with undergraduate economics classes.

Pezinok is a city in Bratislava region.
Pezinok (Hungarian: Bazin; German: Bösing) is a city in western Slovakia, about 20km from Bratislava, and a centre of the Small Carpathian Wine Route. It started out as a mining settlement, as gold and antimony were found in the area, but quickly developed into a wine-making town. To this day, Pezinok produces quality wine and the slopes of Small Carpathians it is located under are covered with vineyards. Wine-making is also celebrated during several festival and events, such as Vinobranie (celebration of the grape harvest) and Small Carpathian Wine Route, when all the wine-makers display their local produce. The city has also kept, and recently renovated, many of the origial burger's houses, which form a beautiful historic centre of the town, along with a park surrounding the castle dating to 13th century.
More information can be found at the city's website, available in English and German.
Get in
Pezinok is well-connected by the road network to Bratislava, Trnava and Senec, so getting in by car is usually the most convenient. There is also public transport in form of buses that connects it with these three cities, and villages along the route. Buses from Bratislava leave every 15 minutes in the rush hour and every 1 hour in the evenings. Trains operate between Bratislava and Trnava as well, and most stop in Pezinok along the way. However, when going by the train from Bratislava/Trnava, make sure your train stops in Pezinok, as a few express trains don't. Also note that the last train/bus from bratislava leaves shortly before 11pm and doesn't resume until about 5am.
Get around
As the city centre is small, walking is probably the most efficient way of getting around Pezinok, though a car will come in handy if you are visiting the more remote residential parts. There is plenty of parking available in and around the city centre.
The city haqs a well-preserved historic centre, with several buildings worth seeing: [[Image:IMGP0823.JPG|right|300px]The old City Hall]

Twenty hours a week, you'll find Linda Baldwin working as a cashier at the 100-year-old Kilian's Hardware store in Chestnut Hill, as she has for the past eight-and-a-half years. Much of the rest of the time, you'll find her playing the violin with the Adult Chamber Players, the Orchestra Society of Philadelphia, the Independence Sinfonia Orchestra or in her own or someone else's living room.
To say that Baldwin is passionate about music is definitely an understatement. Her love for music came from her 96-year-old mother, who plays the piano and flute and recently started learning the cello.
Baldwin began taking piano lessons when she was 7 and never really liked the violin until she attended Temple University. "We were required to learn several instruments, so I decided to study the violin and the clarinet. I was determined to learn! The violin I'm playing today I found at a Freeman's Auction for $27.50, and I'm still playing it," she said.
Born and raised in Elkins Park, Baldwin received a B.A. in music education with a major in piano from Temple University in 1964. She lived in Chestnut Hill for 10 years during the 1970s and had a piano studio in her home at that time. She then lived in Wilmington, North Carolina for five years, where she was a substitute teacher. She returned to Philadelphia for a couple of years, moved to Bloomington, Indiana, and finally returned to Chestnut Hill, where she now resides.
Baldwin, who says her age isn't relevant, started playing in orchestras as soon as she could find them. "At first, I played in the BACK of the second violin section and eventually moved up to the FRONT of the second violin section. I'm at the point where I want to play first violin, and I'm working at it," she said. She is taking lessons this summer with violinist Caeli Smith, who also lives in Chestnut Hill.
On a recent Sunday afternoon that stretched well into the evening, Baldwin rearranged all the furniture in her house so that she could host 16 string players for intimate performances of Bach, Mendelssohn and Mozart. The highlight of the day was the performance of a composition for four string quartets by Dutch composer Johannes Bernardus van Bree. "We had excellent players, and the sound was incredible," Baldwin said. "I thought, 'Could this really be happening in my living room?'"
Baldwin admits that she dislikes practicing and rarely does it. "I only practice because I'm playing in the Independence Sinfonia Orchestra with Jerome Rosen, a very discerning conductor who played under George Szell in the Cleveland Orchestra. He knows the sound he wants, and he tells you how to get it. When I leave rehearsal, I feel like I've had a violin lesson. I practice for this orchestra because if I don't practice a difficult 'lick' (pattern of notes) over and over to get the placement of the fingers in the correct position to get the right sound, that's not good."
Baldwin would like to see more people from Chestnut Hill discover the Sinfonia, which performs in nearby Dresher. "I've played in a lot of amateur orchestras. This is absolutely the best. It's high-quality music making," she stressed. She also plays with the Orchestra Society of Philadelphia every Friday, 7:30 p.m., at the Esther Boyer College of Music and Dance at Temple University. "This group plays a variety of music under different conductors. We get together strictly for the fun of sight-reading. We don't rehearse; we just play."
On Monday nights, Baldwin often plays the French horn with another group that also meets at Temple University. And every other Tuesday, Baldwin performs with the Adult Chamber Players at Settlement Music School in Willow Grove, a group coordinated by Settlement's Marka Stepper. "There are at least 60 regular participants. Marka sends an email each week, letting you know who will be playing in your particular group that week. When you get there, everything is ready for you … the music and the stands are there. You just show up with your instrument, and you play.
"Marka goes a good job of matching people based on their experience and skill level. There are mostly strings, pianists, a handful of wind instruments and horns. There are about 15 or 20 musicians at my level, so there's some variety when Marka places us. Usually, I'm thrilled with the groups. I'm a take-charge person but here I often have to take the back seat! You learn tolerance, patience and a lot about working together with other people.
"Every time I play I think about how grateful I am to have this gift and to be able to do this. People who don't play music can't begin to comprehend what a pleasure and joy it is. I'm not a religious person, but this is as spiritual as I get. When I play Mozart, I'm up there somewhere."
Baldwin's daughter Emily Clark, a realtor with Prudential Fox & Roach, also lives in Chestnut Hill. Baldwin has three grandchildren: Zach, Andrew and Samantha.

"You'll shoot your eye out kid!"
One of my favorite movies is A Christmas Story. There are so many truly funny scenes.
What would Ralphie want to see under the Christmas tree in 2012 — a new smartphone loaded with a copy of Angry Birds Star Wars? Hard to say. There are so many great games and gadgets out there.
With all that gear, it's also easy to buy a tech dud. No one wants to waste money or give someone something they don't really want.
You may recall the bulletin I put out last Christmas about tech gear you shouldn't buy. It included feature phones, GPS units, netbooks, portable media players and point-and-shoot cameras.
Those are still on the no-buy list, but this year I have a whole new list of things you'll want to avoid.
Budget Android gadgets
While I still prefer my iPhone and iPad, Android gadgets are now a good option for any tech buyer. Of course, not all Android gadgets are created equal.
Older and budget Android gadgets are best to be avoided. And when I say budget, I'm not talking about low-cost, 7-inch tablets like the Nexus 7 or Kindle Fire. I mean $100, off-brand tablets and low-powered, free smartphones.
For both phones and tablets, make sure they're running Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) or higher. A budget phone that runs Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), or a budget tablet that runs Android 3.2 (Honeycomb), will stagger when running the latest games and productivity apps.
A $0 to $50 Android phone that was a $200 to $300 dazzler on contract a year ago can be a good value. But a $0 to $50 Android with an outdated processor and last-generation Android version is no bargain.
Plus, manufacturers tend to abandon support for Android duds. Less expensive or older smartphones often don't get an operating system upgrade more than once, or even at all.
17-inch laptops
Apple laid its 17-inch MacBook Pro to rest this year. Users just don't want to lug those behemoths around airports and corporate campuses anymore. For that matter, a 15-inch laptop makes sense only for gamers or a graphics and video pro.
Most road warriors can work or kill time splendidly on a 10- to 13-inch Ultrabook or MacBook Air. Their solid-state drives and Intel Ivy Bridge chips make them lightning-fast tools, and their thin, lightweight form makes them a joy to use — and carry around.
Bridge cameras
Designed to fill a niche between high-end DSLRs and budget point-and-shoots, bridge cameras don't make as much sense as they used to.
Compared to point-and-shoots, bridge cameras give photographers more control over shutter speed and aperture. But they don't offer much of an improvement in sensor size or quality. You're also stuck with a permanent zoom lens that usually isn't a world-beater.
Mirrorless hybrid cameras, on the other hand, are the fastest-growing digital category for good reason. They rival compact cameras in size and DSLRs in sensor and lens quality. They're systems you can grow with and keep for many years.
Prices range from practical — Nikon 1 V1 ($500, with 10-30mm lens) — to painful — Fujifilm X Pro 1 ($1,700, body only).
Entry-level e-readers
E-readers have really hit their stride this year. Display technology has improved, and so has the library of new and exciting e-books.
Not all e-readers are cutting edge, however. Amazon's entry-level e-reader, the Kindle ($69), uses buttons for navigation and features a standard E-Ink Pearl display. It's not a bad unit, but for a bit more you could have something much, much better.
The just-introduced Kindle Paperwhite ($119) offers a touch screen with amazing resolution and contrast. Plus, it has an innovative built-in light that makes nighttime reading very comfortable.
The display on the Nook Simple Touch ($99) is touch-capable but otherwise a standard E-Ink Pearl display. Barnes & Noble's solution to reading in the dark is the Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight ($139). The Nook Color ($149) features a nice multi-touch color LCD and runs a customized version of the Android operating system.
Budget LCD TVs
TV prices continue to drop, and there are bargains everywhere you look! Unfortunately, many of these deals are bargain basement.
Sure, you can buy an off-brand 50-inch LCD TV for less than $500. But you'll be getting outdated technology and a poor viewing experience.
Budget LCDs have a refresh rate of 60 hertz, which can blur motion when you're watching the big football game. Refresh rates of 120Hz and 240Hz are standard now. Many bargain-basement TVs also have a resolution of 720p, compared to the 1080p you want.
Bargain LCD TVs are still backlit by fluorescent lights. That looked great four years ago, but it pales in comparison to LCD TVs with an LED backlight.
LED TVs have gotten so good that they're catching up to plasma screens for blackness level, color and contrast. That could also be a reason why sales of plasma TVs have dwindled to about 13 percent of the market.
For larger TVs, however, plasmas have the edge over LEDs on price. You'll pay about $1,000 for Samsung's 60-inch plasma; about $1,500 for its 60-inch LED TV.
If you're going for a second TV, a bargain unit might be OK. But for your main home theater TV, you want something better.

A local police union vowed it will continue to fight for armed rangers in the Franklin County Metropolitan Park District.
A local police union vowed it will continue to fight for armed rangers in the Franklin County Metropolitan Park District.
Tracy Rader, representative of the Fraternal Order of Police/Ohio Labor Council, said the union was "saddened" that the park district's board of commissioners opted not to arm the 18 full-time rangers who patrol the 17 parks.
"We believe law enforcement should be armed," Rader said. "We stand by that and we'll stand by that always."
The Board of Park Commissioners Jan. 14 approved several new safety measures for the Metro Parks. Omitted from that plan, however, was a request by the FOP calling for rangers to carry firearms.
Of the three commissioners, only Jim McGregor supported the union's position.
"If we have (Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy)-trained officers, it should be part of their gear," McGregor said.
Commissioner Greg Lashutka appeared to be open to the measure, saying "it was not off the table." Jeff McNealey said he currently is against it.
"We as a Metro Parks system treat civic safety and the safety of our personnel as one of our highest goals," McNealey said.
"However, in addressing the issue on how those goals are going to be met, we have to decide whether any specific action is going to have a measurable effect on the enviable record of safety in the Metro Parks system."
Rader argued that in other jurisdictions where the various parks are located, police are allowed to carry guns in the parks, as are civilians. Battelle Darby, for example, has a public hunting area.
Among the new safety measures approved by the board is a provision for "additional non-lethal defensive weapons for law-enforcement staff."
The rangers are now equipped with radios, Mace and handcuffs. Specifics of what additional nonlethal weapons are under consideration were not detailed in the resolution.
Peg Hanley, spokeswoman for Metro Parks, said the system has an exemplary safety rate.
There were 72 court citations issued in 11 of 12 months of 2013, none for violent crimes. December's numbers weren't available late last week.
Both McGregor and the union said they will keep encouraging the other commissioners to support the request for armed rangers.
"We're going to keep pressing," Rader said. "We're not giving up."
