While it's usually the maid of honor or bridesmaids' responsibility to organize the bachelorette party, it's less clear who should pay for the festivities. Our wedding etiquette experts are here to answer your party planning questions in our daily post.
Who pays for the bachelorette party?
The bachelorette party is one event where the hosts aren't necessarily expected to foot the bill for everyone. In fact, the hosts are often more "organizers" than traditional hosts; they take charge of getting a group of friends together for a night out. Typically, everyone chips in to cover the cost of the bride's food and any drinks, since she's the one being honored. Any arrangement you come up with for funding the evening is fine—just be sure that everyone knows what to expect before the night begins.
If the event is more of a classic party being hosted by one or a few people at a single venue, then the traditional rules of hosting apply: the hosts covers all of the costs: food, drinks, decorations and any party favors.
While gifts aren't usually given at bachelorette parties, it is popular to give the bride an inexpensive little something to commemorate the evening—usually a token like a T-shirt (or perhaps a more intimate garment) saying "Bride-to be" or "Taken." In this case, the group usually either decides on a gift together and all chip in, or one person takes the initiative and pays for it herself.

And I thought it was me. . . been married for 37 years (was a child bride uh huh), have 2 daughters out of college in their 20s. He has a broken neck (railroad) but to look at him you wouldn't know. (Sound familiar?) He got mad when I got the diagnosis, has never been to a single doctor appointment of any kind, never once sat with me during 2 years of injecting Forteo into myself nightly for osteoperosis, and refuses to buy my medical insurance (have none). When I ask for a hug, I get "I don't want to break you" or some other avoidable reason. Human touch is healing, now it's going on 5 years with nothing, I just turned 60, weigh 100, still get up, dressed and makeup every day and zippo. The people in the supermarket compliment me but that's not who I want to hear it from. I figure that's it for me, with SM as baggage, who wouldn't run? So I play piano, try to use my internet minutes wisely as he thinks I get everything I read, and putter along, so alone. Every night I cry myself to sleep knowing there will never be a kind hug, or snuggle, or hand holding, or even talking about the subject.
I've never told this to anyone. I feel better getting it out, but am humiliated just the same. I still have a heartful of love to give but nobody wants it. Sorry to be a crybaby. We should get together for a gentle hugfest!
Love, hugs, fake smiles

An Air Force general who overturned the sexual assault conviction of a fellow fighter pilot now finds himself caught in a political crossfire that could change military justice; perhaps, some fear, for the worse.
Citing the general's actions, lawmakers including Democratic Sens. Barbara Boxer of California and Claire McCaskill of Missouri are pressuring the Pentagon to restrict commanding officers' power to dismiss court-martial convictions. The lawmakers are not, however, seeking to restrict their officers' corresponding power to press ahead with sexual assault cases that investigators may consider weak.

The result could be a further tilting of scales that some fear already may be swinging out of balance, as a military that once seemed oblivious to sexual assault now moves full force against it. At the least, what happens next will highlight the extraordinary clout that the military justice system grants commanding officers in sexual assault and other criminal cases.
Although the general's high-profile reversal of the sexual assault conviction is seizing attention, it's a step that's rarely taken.
Meanwhile, a McClatchy review of nearly 70 military sexual-assault cases, involving thousands of pages obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, found that commanding officers aggressively pursue sexual assault prosecutions, sometimes over the objections or concerns of investigators. Many acquittals have resulted.
Lawmakers, nonetheless, are mobilizing in the wake of Lt. Gen. Craig Franklin's Feb. 26 overturning of the aggravated sexual assault conviction of Lt. Col. James Wilkerson, an F-16 pilot who's back on active duty after his release from a military prison in Charleston, S.C.
"This is a travesty of justice," Boxer and Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., wrote Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Tuesday. "At a time when the military has unequivocally stated that there is zero tolerance for sexual assault, this is not the message it should be sending "
McCaskill, at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing Tuesday, blasted "the arbitrary decision of one general" to reject a military conviction.
"This could be a tipping point, I think, for the American people to rise up, particularly the women, and say, 'I don't think one general should be able to overturn a jury,' " McCaskill told Marine Corps Gen. James Mattis, the head of the U.S. Central Command.
All of which worries military defense attorneys and scholars, who fear a congressional overreaction.
"The senators' . . . statements are a danger to the fair administration of military justice, not just in the Wilkerson case, but in all pending and future military justice cases, especially those involving sexual assault," defense attorney Phil Cave cautioned in an interview.
A former Navy legal officer, Cave added that lawmakers' "specific interference" in the Wilkerson case amounted to an abuse of their authority and might amount to unlawful command influence. Wilkerson's civilian defense attorney, Frank Spinner, agreed in an interview Friday that "the senators' statements may constitute unlawful command influence and will have a chilling effect" on military officials.
The demands from Boxer and Shaheen that Hagel take immediate steps to restrict commanding officers from "unilaterally dismissing military court decisions" appears to conflict with the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which is written by Congress.
"It's completely inappropriate," Eugene Fidell, who teaches military law at Yale Law School, said of the senators' demands. "If they're serious about this, they should change the statute."
Boxer and Shaheen suggest that legislative changes might, in fact, be a possibility, something Fidell says could be useful if handled in a balanced fashion. He did not, however, mean the kind of bill to be introduced Wednesday by Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., which would strip away a commander's ability to dismiss convictions.
The political hubbub over Franklin's actions, moreover, might create a misleading impression about the frequency with which commanding officers overturn convictions. Marine Corps Col. John Baker, the chief defense counsel of the Marine Corps, said in an interview that it was very rare for convictions to be dismissed. Fidell agreed in an interview that "it's rare, though it does happen."
The Uniform Code of Military Justice grants considerable clout to commanding officers, called in legal cases the "convening authority." The power is both at the front end, before trial, and at the back end, after trial. They may proceed with a prosecution or, as happened in the Wilkerson case, dismiss a conviction for what the uniform code specifies may be "for any or no reason." These pretrial and post-trial powers help balance each other.
"The pieces of the system have to hang together," Fidell said, adding that changing the post-trial power without addressing pretrial powers would "be a severe blow to the logic of the system."
This may be particularly true in a political climate where commanding officers feel pressure to prosecute sexual assault allegations. In the Marine Corps, for instance, tough talk by the commandant has complicated dozens of sexual assault cases, as defense attorneys repeatedly raise the claim of unlawful command influence.
The McClatchy review of previously unreported documents from 68 sexual assault cases at Georgia's Fort Benning, North Carolina's Camp Lejeune, California's Camp Pendleton and several other bases nationwide found commanding officers sometimes using their prosecutorial discretion to proceed with weak cases. In 30 of the 68 cases, the defendants were acquitted or were found guilty only of lesser charges.
In a number of the acquittals McClatchy reviewed, commanding officers had proceeded with prosecution despite explicit objections or serious questions raised by investigating officers.
In 2007, for instance, a soldier accused a private first class with the 1st Battalion of the 507th Parachute Infantry Regiment at Fort Benning of sexually assaulting her while she was drunk. The Columbus, Ga., police department looked into it and declined to prosecute. The Army's investigating officer recommended that some charges be brought, but not rape. The Fort Benning commander, nonetheless, proceeded with a prosecution on rape and other charges.
The accused soldier was acquitted on all charges.
In 2009, a Navy petty officer first class who was temporarily stationed at Norfolk, Va., was accused of rape by a sailor. The investigating officer recommended against filing rape charges, noting "inconsistencies" in the alleged victim's story. The commanding officer's legal adviser, though ultimately recommending prosecution, likewise cited in an April 2010 memo "serious issues concerning the credibility of the alleged victim and the plausibility of her story."
But with some physical evidence supporting the alleged victim's story, the commanding officer proceeded with prosecution on rape, sodomy and other charges. In June 2010, the petty officer was acquitted on all charges.
The political focus on commanding officers' legal power will build Wednesday at a subcommittee hearing convened by a panel of the Senate Armed Services Committee. The chief judge advocates for all military branches have been summoned, though the hearing's tone will be set by the first panel of witnesses, a trio of veterans who say they were raped in 1987, 2000 and 2007, respectively.
The Wilkerson case isn't explicitly on the agenda, but it will be on everyone's mind.
A married, 20-year veteran of the Air Force, Wilkerson was serving as the inspector general of the 31st Fighter Wing at Aviano Air Base in Italy last March when he was accused of sexual assault. A 49-year-old physician assistant alleged that she woke up after a party at Wilkerson's house to find him fondling her breasts and digitally penetrating her. Wilkerson denied it.
A panel of officers convicted Wilkerson after a weeklong trial last November, during which the woman said she was "just numb most of the time" because of being assaulted, according to an account by the independent military publication Stars and Stripes.
"I'm not myself anymore," the woman testified, according to Stars and Stripes. "I'm different."
The trial panel sentenced Wilkerson to a year in prison and dismissal from the Air Force.
Franklin, the commander of the 3rd Air Force, then reviewed the case, including the trial transcript and information that hadn't been presented to the trial panel, as well as letters supporting Wilkerson. A spokesman said the lieutenant general had concluded that the charges hadn't been proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
Speier, the California congresswoman, called the decision a "miscarriage of justice." Spinner, Wilkerson's attorney, called it entirely justified.
"These senators," Spinner said, "do not appear to be concerned with due process of law and the possibility that some women are making false claims against innocent men."

Girl Scouts, the largest pipeline for female leaders, will launch its annual Cookie Program on January 11, 2013 which will go through the end of March and includes individual and booth sales. Girl Scout cookie booths will be available at select neighborhood stores beginning February 22, 2013 and can be found using the Girl Scout Cookie Locator App.
For the first time in ten years, Girl Scouts has new cookie packaging that will provide a more in-depth view of the Cookie Program. The new, redesigned packages are bright and vivid, provide a QR code so customers can learn more about the Cookie Program and highlight the skills Girl Scouts develop while completing tasks in the program.
Since its inception on March 12, 1912 in Savannah, Georgia, Girl Scouts has built girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place. The Girl Scout Cookie Program is an integral part of Girl Scouts' business and economic literacy initiative for girls in grades K through 12. The program helps Girl Scouts develop five key skills: including goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics.
"As we enter into the second century of Girl Scouting, we will continue to give every girl the opportunity to be the leader she wants to be and the leader the world needs her to be," said Colleen Walker, chief executive officer for the Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas. "The Girl Scout Cookie Program supplies girls with important leadership skills that will provide a lifelong foundation for success."
Girl Scout troops set sales goals and follow plans to raise enough funds to support service projects, educational field trips and other leadership activities. In addition, the Girl Scout Cookie Program has been proven to boost girls' self-esteem and encourages them to dream big and plan a professional career path based on what they've learned.
Community service through Project Troop to Troop is also a cornerstone of the Girl Scout Cookie Program. It encourages members of the community to buy Girl Scout cookies for donation to the U.S. Armed Forces. Last year, Project Troop to Troop in Northeast Texas donated more than 166,000 packages of Girl Scout cookies. The cookies were transported to service men and women at home and abroad, through Fort Hood, the USO, the American Red Cross. Girl Scout cookies were also donated to local veterans' organizations and wounded soldiers.
Cookie flavors include the world-famous Thin Mints, Tagalongs, Samoas, Do-Si-Dos, Trefoils, Dulce de Leche, Thank U Berry Munch, and Savannah Smiles. Each box sells for $3.50.
Customers can find the cookie booths near their location by downloading the Cookie Locator app. The app is available on an iPhone or Android by dialing **GSCOOKIES from your phone. Customers can search for sales in their neighborhood and share with friends on Facebook, Twitter and via email.
For more information about the Cookie Program visit: http://www.texascookietime.org/

The Secret Lives Of Wives By Iris Krasnow -- Www.iriskrasnow.com (Gotham Books)
Description: Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the closed doors of a successful marriage? How those happy couples make it look so easy? In THE SECRET LIVES OF WIVES: Women Share What it Really Takes to Stay Married (Gotham Books $26) bestselling author Iris Krasnow pulls back the curtain and reveals shocking and uncensored real-life confessions of women who have stayed married for the long haul. Krasnow, a wife of 23 years, and the more than 200 women she interviewed ― married anywhere from 15-70 years ― challenge the traditional way of thinking about what it takes to achieve "happily-ever-after" and invite women to define for themselves what constitutes a satisfying relationship. "There is no gold standard of what a marriage should be and no perfect marriage toward which to aspire," writes Krasnow. "No one even has to get married . . . More than five million unmarried couples live together in the United States, nearly eight times as many as in 1970. Those of us who followed the mainstream and went for the big crowd and the big dress are realizing, as we inch toward silver and golden anniversaries, that it is individual ingenuity and not pack mentality that fuels a marriage in the long run."

Hollywood Stories: Short Entertaining Anecdotes About The Stars And Legends Of The Movies!
Description: At high noon on a cold November day in 1974, sixty-seven-year-old John Wayne faced off with the staff of the Harvard Lampoon on the famous campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The students had issued their challenge by calling the beloved American icon a fraud. Wayne, who had his new movie McQ to promote, responded by saying he would be happy to show his film in the pseudo-intellectual swamps of Harvard Square. After the screening, without writers, the former USC footballer delivered a classic performance. When one smart young man asked where he got his phony toupee, Wayne insisted the hair was real. It wasn't his, but it was real. The appreciative underclassmen loved him and after the Q and A session, they all sat down to dinner. Later Wayne, who was suffering greatly from both gout and the after effects of lung cancer (sadly the Duke only had five years to live), said that day at Harvard was the best time he ever had. Just when you thought you've heard everything about Hollywood comes a totally original new book -- a special blend of biography, history and lore. Hollywood Stories is packed with wild, wonderful short tales about famous stars, movies, directors and many others who have been a part of the world's most fascinating, unpredictable industry!

When we share our lives with another person we tie our finances together, negotiate sexuality and deal with the countless decisions that daily life demands—not to mention our own personal baggage. When the anxiety of life spirals high enough, and lasts long enough, even the most mature relationshuip may begin to look like a dysfunctional one. Needless to say, coupling can get rough.

Marriage Rules is based on decades of clinical practice (and a healthy, happy marriage) with concrete, practical advice that if followed will generate major changes in a relationship. It does take some practice … and a little humor. But anything worth doing takes a little time and effort. The rules are not hard and fast, all are adjustable to your own relationship needs.

Thinking Your Way To Happy!
Description: Human beings are creatures of habit. The brain loves the comfort of repetition even if it brings great pain and suffering. Everyday people make choices to; be late, over eat, or to be too busy or stressed for their children, to delay health, to hold a grudge, to react instead of respond, to indulge in immediate gratification - essentially people choose to neglect important areas of their lives – yet often it does not feel as though any choice is involved in this process at all. The books fundamental message is around governing your thoughts and interrupting automatic behaviors in favor of personal freedom and results that inspire. The intention is to help you to begin to think from a new place, thus engaging the frontal lobe the area of the brain responsible for conscious choice. The more you do so, the easier the process of change becomes. Thinking Your Way to Happy! also identifies the most common 'Happy Traps'; Give up the 'someday, one day, when day, western mentality where you reserve joy and happiness for when your business is finally thriving, you lose that extra weight, your credit cards are paid off or you meet that special someone.'

Melissa's Gift
Description: Melissa's Gift, a memoir (ISBN 978-0-9836179-3-8) by psychotherapist, teacher, consultant and public speaker Olin Dodson, available now from Bay Tree Publishing. In August 1990, a solitary, unmarried man received a phone call from a stranger who informed him that he was the father of an eleven-year-old child who wanted to meet him. Melissa, who lived with her mother in a small town in Costa Rica, had the incurable disease known as cystic fibrosis. Melissa's Gift recounts Olin Dodson's extraordinary relationship with his daughter. Written with elegance, beauty and power, Melissa's Gift is an unforgettable story and a deeply moving reading experience. "Melissa's Gift takes us on a thrilling, roller-coaster ride in scenic settings—from rural Costa Rica to Colorado's Rockies. But at its heart, this story is a family drama unlike any you've ever read. It features a man and his daughter who—in the face of great obstacles—never let go of their dreams. The lessons the father learns (often unwillingly) will inspire many to love more deeply. Melissa's Gift is a must read for every daughter, every father, for everyone who loves at all." —Isabel Stenzel Byrnes, MSW, MPH, co-author of The Power of Two.

Description: Veteran singer/composer Kenny Brand is back with a new album of all-new pop songs featuring a slew of top artists and musicians. "I wanted to include the type of songs that really influenced me and many others over the years," said Brand of his new album "Contemporary Songs," released through Opcion Sonica.

The Problem With Women... Is Men: The Evolution Of A Man's Man To A Man Of Higher Consciousness
Description: The Problem with Women… is Men: The Evolution of a Man''s Man to a Man of Higher Consciousness is an in-depth look into stereotypic men today and the challenges women have surviving with them in long-term relationships and marriage. Written entirely from a man''s point-of-view and experience—, and based on 10 years of real-world research and hundreds of interviews—, The Problem with Women…... is Men offers a humorous, blunt, tell-all examination of men, their issues, their refusal to change, and showcases both how women can maintain their sense of empowerment and individuality throughout their relationships, as well as explaining to men (perhaps at long-last) what women say they are looking for in a man. Through his highly-acclaimed book, author Charles J. Orlando explains the evolutionary path he took —from womanizer to upstanding husband, father, and female empowerment advocate. It was a journey that rejects long-held tenets of male behavior; his ever-present pursuit of living comfortably in his own skin. It is the same path he found his true brethren on, albeit struggling with a lack of guts and/or direction with which to channel their characteristics. It is a path of principles and character; clearly going against the grain of society, but critical for men to enlighten themselves, raise their consciousness to a higher plane.

Missed Connections: Love, Lost & Found By Sophie Blackall
Description: Each day, untold people have chance encounters with strangers and subsequently kick themselves for not being bold, brave, or spontaneous enough to formally introduce themselves. Like a message in a bottle, a "missed connection" classified is an attempt, however far-fetched, by one person to reach another on the strength of a remembered glance, smile, or fleeting conversation. The anonymous messages range from hopeful to despondent, romantic to salacious. In her critically acclaimed first book for adults, MISSED CONNECTIONS: LOVE, LOST & FOUND, New York Times bestselling illustrator Sophie Blackall creates a gorgeous illustrated homage to the mystery, pathos, and humor of actual "missed connections" classifieds found online. Blackall first became acquainted with "missed connections" postings upon a crowded subway car in March of 2009. A handsome fellow squeezed in beside her and they apologized in rounds for knocking elbows. Upon disembarking, he suddenly reappeared in the window, made eye contact, and mouthed two words just before the train pulled away. Sophie turned to the girl next to her. "What did he say?" she asked. "Missed connections," the girl replied. Sophie had no idea what the girl was talking about, but when she got home, she sat at her computer, looked up "missed connections" … and was immediately hooked. Within days, Sophie's own Missed Connections project was born—exquisite Chinese ink and watercolor paintings, each transforming one little detail of a "missed connections" post into a vibrant, fully imagined world.

Trust me.
I've been working on it off and on, here and there, ever since I finished the Noro! pullover. Just simple evening knitting, no thinking required. No pattern, just a top-down raglan in some ancient stash yarn with a cable I found in one of my Vogue Stitchionaries. (Which I look at often, but rarely use.)
Right now, I'm working through the first sleeve.
(Nope. Not this color either. Seriously, it really is green.)
The semester is grinding to halt and I, for one, could not be happier. It's been another crazy year: job market, dissertation, interviews, teaching … In fact, yesterday I realized that I started writing my job letter six months after I defended my dissertation prospectus. Madness. Which also reminded me why I might not have had time to draft out that article or dedicate a lot of time knitting.
I miss knitting. I miss the blue table; I miss this space; I miss you guys. I miss having lots of ideas and colors and dream projects swirling around amidst all the other whirlwind commitments.
So that's my summer plan: more knitting, more writing, more colors, more sharing!

Enjoy your weekend! I'll be finishing I remember Nothing, which is really great. Everything she wrote is so captivating. Do you have anything fun happening? I want to head to the beach today, stay for a seafood dinner and maybe hit the boardwalk, just R and I.
Stay cool friends, see you back here on Monday!
This wonderful photo is from Alice B. Gardens Photography, and here is her Etsy shop. Isn't her name cute?
Aren't these great! In collaboration with other artists, Tina Roth Eisenberg the founder of Swiss-Miss (who I'm sure you are all familiar with) started a shop called Tattly. You can purchase sets of these veggies, along with so many other really rad tats. Here is the list of designers and here is where you shop. I bought the veggies for R's nephews and a couple other sets for me, like this and this;)
What are your plans for the holiday/weekend? We'll be heading to upstate NY for a night to visit friends and to enjoy all the festivities that goes along with this holiday which includes fireworks galore, too much food and a few cold drinks to keep up with this heat!
Have a wonderful week and enjoy the posts that I have lined up!

{A quick product review from me.} Incase you are torn between reading the occasional book on the Kindle or the Nook, I bought the Nook with glow light last night from Barnes and Noble and love it! I felt so guilty buying it because I love books, but I decided if I was going to get one I would rather be supporting a book store instead of an everything store, right? I did try reading a few books on my Ipad first to see how I liked it and I was speeding through them faster than ever before, the only thing with the Ipad is that it's too big to hold for reading.
My favorite pieces of this home are the sweet corners. You can really feel that her home is filled with everything she loves.
How was everyone's weekend? Hot??
Let me start out by saying that I'm reading the book above, A general theory on love and it's intense, gets you thinking and might take me a long time to get through it but I'm determined. So, I feel like for the past few weeks I've been so removed from this space. Busy-ness has contributed to it for sure, along with the weather and being on vacation. I'll be spending some time today commenting on your posts...cant wait to see what you've all been up to! Hugs.

I think I need some matching dishes. So, we just returned from a long weekend in Bermuda, which is so much more amazing than I had imagined and why my posts were a little scattered last week. Bermuda is only a quick plane ride from NJ! I took a few photos that I'll share with you tomorrow along with a little guide since we were only there a couple days. Have you been? But, as always I'm happy to be back home. Happy Monday!

I always loved black and white, but since all the instagram funky 70's film craze I've forgotten about it. Feels good to see the photos in a more raw and natural way today.
Thanks for your sweet comments on Friday's post about my garden/patio. We spent so many relaxing evening hours out there this weekend.
Thanks for making me smile everyday.

Sophomore musical theatre student Melessie Clark will compete in the National American Miss Teen pageant in Disneyland in November. She won a spot in the competition after being crowned National American Miss Pennsylvania Teen Queen on August 13.
Along with the Miss Pennsylvania Teen Queen title, Clark, a Greensburg native and graduate of Greensburg Salem High School, won a $1,000 scholarship.
Clark credits her experience at Point Park for strengthening her performance and communication skills to help her win the Miss Pennsylvania Teen Queen title.
"At Point Park, I have not only improved my performance on stage, but I have grown as a person," she said. "I've become a better actress which has helped me in my pageant competitions, strengthened my communication skills, and I am a better community volunteer because of my involvement with the Office of Campus Life as a community facilitator."
During her year of service, she will participate in community activities, meet Governor Tom Corbett, make appearances with local sports teams and continue to motivate young women to "dream big and follow their dreams."

Review of some useful sysadmin-utilities
Gnu Midnight Commander (mc for short)
MC is a ncurses-based file manager. Its biggest advantage is the use of two panels, with each representing a directory. This allows you to copy, move or link files from one panel (representing a dir) to the other, or visually compare two directories. On the lower side of your screen is a normal command line, only MC adds some extra commands, like copying the name of the selected file in your panel, to the command line. It has an embedded text editor, which remembers the position after you have edited a file. It also includes viewing ftp/samba directories and zipped files as normal directories. MC offers you pre-defined macros, and the option to add macros yourself. With macros, you can use MC's own reversed variables, like %d which represents the current selected directory, for example. MC has a lot of keyboard shortcuts, which enables you to work really fast once you know them.
Sometimes, you have the task of renaming many file names. For example, you want to convert all spaces to underscores, change the letters in extensions, or number files. For this goal, the folks of KDE came up with krename. You don't have to install the entire KDE desktop to use it, since it works in any window-manager. It is almost the same as the rename-feature in the Total Commander which runs on windows, only better. You choose which files you want to rename, and then the old and new names appear in a window. After that, you can use a sorting to specify ranges, upper- or lowercase, numbering etc.. Instead of just renaming, you can also make symbolic links, or change the permissions, using plugins.
If you don't like the graphical Xcalc, but need to do some quick calculations from time to time, try bc. It's a command line arbitrary precision calculator, capable of processing standard input and even scripts. it's a nice tool for converting hexadecimal and decimal numbers. It supports statement structures like "for and while" loops, and can be configured to show any number of digits. The 'last' variable contains the value of the last answer, bc has a command history, and you can use 'read' in bc-scripts to ask for user input and work with that input.
Sudo is like a replacement for "su -c". It executes a command as another user, which defaults to root. The biggest advantage is the configuration file. It is very flexible, well documented, and allows for making groups of commands, groups of users allowed to run groups of commands, to specify if a user needs the root password to use sudo or just its own, mailing the system-administrator about failed passwords, and more. Wildcards can be used in the config-file. Since you are changing user, sudo also enables passing through environmental variables. If set up correctly, a normal user enters the sudo command, then, unless the policy says no password is needed, the user is asked for his own/root password, and after that, a time stamp is created and the command is executed. As long as the time stamp is valid, which is fifteen minutes by default, sudo can be used without re-typing the password.
Nmap is a network scanning tool. It is mainly used to scan IP-ranges and port ranges, but can also serve to find out if others can scan what software you are using. If you want to know what ports are open on your computer, just do 'nmap localhost' and you're done. But, a more interesting use, is scanning other computers, to see if their firewalls work, how high the TCP-sequence predictability is, and how fast they response to a scanner like nmap (if scanning takes a long time, crackers might give up). One of the funniest things of nmap is, it can be used to scan which operating system a website is running. This feature has also a usable goal: you can try to hide your OS characteristics, and after that, try scanning with nmap to see if you succeeded. If crackers can't figure out which OS you are using, it will be more difficult to find an exploitable vulnerability for your OS-version.
Anyone who ever tried manually editing the samba configuration file smb.conf, knows this can be a very daunting task. There are very many options, which are almost impossible to remember. For this purpose, samba usually comes with a graphical web interface, called swat. It can be accessed via a browser, and after you entered the samba-password, you arrive at the page with all documentation. Using the buttons on the top, you can change global options, change and create shares, manage printers, and watch or restart the nmb and smb daemons. In globals and shares, you can click on the button Change view to "Advanced" to view and configure all options. If you're unsure about an option, all options offer a link pointing to the documentation of that option. If you click on the View button in the top-bar, you can view the smb.conf file swat has created for you.
lm_sensors & wmgtemp
Do you ever wonder how warm your computer is? Lm-sensors is the program which can get the temperature from the sensors. First, you need to configure your kernel with i2c support, and then you can install lm-sensors. The sensors-detect program will then tell you what actions you should take to get lm_sensors working. Lm_sensors is mainly a backend; to use it, you need a frontend. My favourite is wmgtemp for WindowMaker. It is very small, and shows nothing more than the system- and CPU temperature. If the two temperatures are switched by accident, wmgtemp can exchange them. As an interesting option, you can add a critical temperature above which a 'red light' shows up in wmgtemp.
Basically this is no application but a web page, but it can be very helpful anyway when forwarding ports through routers. All it does, is scan if a port on your computer can be reached through the Internet. Lets say you just forwarded SSH through your ADSL router, and want to know if port 22 can be reached, you just enter port 22; you don't need to give your IP-address. It then scans that port and returns an error, or success.

CHUN-LI: Capcom
"Even in the Air, I can still dance all over your face!"
Chun-Li, a famous Chinese fighter and Interpol agent, is a prominent martial artist who is renowned for her speedy and powerful kicks. Whether showcasing her fighting ability on the job or in the ring, she has never given up hope of finding her missing father. She knows that the Shadaloo crime organization, and its leader, her longtime arch-enemy M. Bison, are linked to her father's disappearance.
Chun Li was first introduced in Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, and has appeared as a playable character in every Street Fighter game since. She has also made crossover appearances in other games. In Street Fighter II, she is an undercover agent who enters the tournament as a way of getting to its founder, M.Bison. She wants to avenge her father, who was murdered while investigating Bison's Shadaloo crime syndicate.
Chun-Li is one of the easier characters to play. Beginners will find her quick to pick up and her gameplay style allows them to become more accustomed to the concept of air combos and chain combos. Chun-Li is a very versatile and quick fighter with great range and speed on her attacks. She doesn't have much of a projectile game but is quite fierce up close. She can air jump twice, making her air combos very powerful and giving her superior air mobility.
Difficulty: Basic
Style: Agressive rushdown
Defensive power: Chun Li has solid defensive options and slightly below average HP. Her kicks are fast and have great range, making them good for poking opponents who are trying to push the offense. Her Hyakuretsukyaku has a large hitbox and almost instant startup, making it a fantastic defensive move to serve almost any situation.
Offensive power: Due to her long air combos, she is able to deal a lot of damage and is an ideal partner for Variable Air Raids. Her single hits by themselves are not too strong and her Hyper attacks are weak compared to other characters, but her Hoyokusen is one of the most useful level 1 Hypers for dealing damage in the game, since she can use it to follow into an air combo.
Approach strength: Chun-Li's fast attacks give her plenty of ways to approach safely. Her projectiles don't compliment her very much, so she needs to rely on air dashing and dashing to get in close. Due to the range on her kicks, it's often not hard for her to pressure the opponent into letting down their guard. Hoyokusen can also be used to punish from almost half a screen's length away.
Combo ability: Chun-Li's second air jump lets her continue her air combos in ways most other characters couldn't. She is able to prolong her ground combos by using Hyakuretsukyaku loops in the corner, and also has a re-jump loop as well.
Meter Usage: Chun-Li mostly uses meter for Hoyokusen and Megacrash, but since she builds meter very quickly she can afford to save up for a Shinchisei Senkyukyaku on occasion.
Key Techniques: Players will need to learn how to use Hoyokusen in combos as well as how to make use of her extra jump. Advanced players will need to learn how to do her Hyakuretsukyaku loops to maximise her damage output.
Partner Options: Chun-Li benefits from projectile assists that can help her extend her natural ground combos such as Ryu, Morrigan or Jun the Swan.

Glass Half Full: Resilience Among Gay Men as an Emerging HIV Prevention Justice Strategy
Click here to register and receive information on how to join the call.
Resilience Among Gay Men: An emerging research focus has been looking at the role resilience plays in helping gay men stay healthy. This line of thinking turns conventional HIV prevention on its head asking "If most gay men are HIV negative, what are they doing to stay that way and what can we learn from those insights?"
Panelists: Amy Herrick, University of Pittsburgh; Steven Wakefield, HIV Vaccine Trials Network.
IOM Report: The Institutes of Medicine, the non-profit body that advises the public on medical matters, recently released a report highlighting the glaring gaps in knowledge about LGBTQ health. We'll discuss what's in the report and its implications for shaping future research.
CDC Sexual Health Framework: In response to the staggering disparities evident in new HIV infections, the CDC has called for a re-alignment of its activities around a new 'sexual health framework.' We'll find out just what this entails and what its implications are for HIV prevention justice.

Welcome to the monthly meeting of the io9 Book Club. In December and January, we read Neal Stephenson's novel Reamde. Jump into comments to get started talking about it!
For those unfamiliar with the io9 book club, here's how it works: You read the book. We create a special book club post on io9 when the meeting is in session. That would be the post you're reading right now. Then everybody talks about the book in comments for a few days, starting right now.
We've asked Stephenson to stop by and talk to us about the book, but he may be too busy this month. I'll post later this week if he can make it!
So, what did you think of the book?
Want to get a head start on our next book? On February 21, we're meeting to discuss Erin Morgenstern's The Night Circus.

People stop several times a day to take a picture of the sign: "Gluten-free dentistry."
Some think it's a joke -- a spoof of the growing anti-gluten movement in an uber health-conscious city such as Boulder.
Others think it's about time.
"It is funny. But it's also legitimate," says dentist Jeffrey Patrician, who opened his office in Boulder a little more than six months ago at 4520 Broadway. "They either laugh at it or are thrilled that they have this alternative. Or both."
Either way, he says his office has gained clients because of the offering.
Experts estimate about 1 percent of Americans have Celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that is treated by eliminating gluten from the diet. An additional 6 percent are gluten sensitive, without the celiac diagnosis, according to the Center for Celiac Research and Treatment. For these people, that means no wheat, barley, rye or a cross between wheat and rye called triticale.
Turns out these ingredients aren't just in pasta.
Gluten is hiding in many common dental products, such as toothpaste and the flavored polishing paste, topical anesthetic and even the fluoride commonly used in many dentist offices.
Patrician learned about this through his brother, who has celiac disease.
"What exactly am I putting into people's mouths?" Patrician says he asked himself. When he looked at the ingredients, he was surprised to see he had been exposing his clients to gluten. Even though clients are supposed to spit out the products, they inadvertently swallow some of it, he says.
Even trace amounts of gluten might be damaging and cause abdominal pain and diarrhea in people with Celiac, according to the Mayo Clinic.
That's why gluten-free products have been an important part of Patrician's office, Boulder Dental Arts, since its inception. He says he was the first dentist to bring the offering to Boulder. But he says the trend is already growing. Several other dental offices in Boulder County are also now offering it, and within a year, he says he thinks every office will switch over.
There's no harm in providing gluten-free products to patients who can consume gluten, he says. And the product line he uses, DMG, works just as well, he says.
You have enough to worry about during a dental appointment, and gluten shouldn't add to it, he says.
Over-the-counter, he recommends natural toothpaste, such as Tom's of Maine, which doesn't contain gluten and is available at most health food and grocery stores.
John Lloyd, of Boulder, says he developed a recurring skin rash in college that was eventually eliminated by cutting out gluten. He identifies as gluten-intolerant. That's why he decided to switch dentists to go to Boulder Dental Arts.
"It's nice to know you're avoiding even a little contamination," Lloyd says. "Even though I'm not super intolerant, why introduce something into your body that it doesn't like?"
Although he admits he never had any negative response to previous dental appointments.
The Mayo Clinic recommends a gluten-free diet to treat Celiac disease but warns it might lead to low levels of certain vitamins and nutrients, without supplementation, because many grains are enriched with vitamins.
