Template:Category tree all <categorytree>Montagu</categorytree> Montagu is 2 hours / 200km drive east of Cape Town. Montagu is the most developed sport climbing area in the Western Cape (if not the country). 100's of sport routes of all ranges of difficulty. +/-400 Single Pitch & a good few Multi-Pitch Sport Routes.
Montagu offers some of the best climbing in the Western Cape with many crags that vary in grade and steepness with excellent quality rock. Two hours drive from Cape Town, it rarely rains in Montagu and when Cape Town has bad weather, Montagu normally has perfect conditions for climbing (Except for the occasional freak floods). The small town of Montagu is situated in the Klein Karoo (semi desert region). Once a sleepy little Karoo town where not much happened, the town has since transformed into a vibrant energetic holiday destination. It is now well known for climbing and mountain biking (among things).

Bolting / New Routes
I'm sure everyone is aware of the 'closure of Bosch Kloof'. To avoid any further Altercations with land owners and incorrect equipment being used, the Montagu Mountain Committee (who are responsible for the Montagu Reserve) have asked for applications to be submitted before a new route is bolted.
Application info should include:
- Location of the route
- A picture of the route with the proposed route drawn in
- Whether or not there is an existing path to the new route?
- Have you bolted before?
- Your contact details
Your request will be processed as quickly as possible and you will be contacted with regards to your application. Please send all new route applications to firstname.lastname@example.com and make the subject New Routes Montagu.
As with the rest of the Western Cape, only 316 Stainless Steel rolled bolts are allowed to be used for bolting routes in Montagu. Check the Anchor Replacement Fund page for more information.
Getting there
From Cape Town, get onto the N1 towards Paarl. You have the choice of taking the tunnel (toll is R21.00) or driving over the pass which is very scenic and recommendable in good weather. Once on the other side of the mountain (you're now in Du Toits Kloof) keep on the N1 until you pass the Shell Ultra City. Turn right at the second set of traffic lights and take the R43 into Worcester, after going over the bridge, turn left at the high street traffic lights (2nd set) and follow the signs to Robertson and then onto Ashton and then Montagu. You should now be on the 'R60' road, Note that this road turns into the 'R62' after Ashton. Be aware that the local traffic cops have been trapping in the towns (60km zones) and sometimes in the kloof before Montagu.
De Bos (Tel/Fax 023 614 2532, Cell 082 3325453). Camping is about R30 per person per night (includes cooking facilities) The Barn costs R60 (minimum two nights stay) has bunk beds, includes cooking facilities (as of Jan 2009).

Since its inception nearly a century ago, the Mercedes-Benz name has been synonymous with luxury and refinement along with a dedication to safety and trust. The brand is also loved and cherished around the globe by those who value status, quality, and groundbreaking innovation.
Mercedes-Benz Origin
Though the legacy of Mercedes-Benz dates back to the 1880s, the current brand did not originate until 1926. In 1886, Karl Benz revealed his three-wheel vehicle, the Benz Patent Motor Car, the automobile that first showcased the superiority of the Benz brand. Known for his Daimler engine, Gottlieb Daimler raised the bar of technology and built a horseless carriage displaying his dedication to craftsmanship. When Daimler passed away, he left control of his brand to Wilhelm Maybach, his chief engineer who built the first Mercedes after being commissioned by Emil Jellinek. Jellinek appropriately named the car "Mercedes" after his daughter.
Due to the worsening German economy and desperation to save the two companies, the Daimler and Benz brands merged to form Mercedes-Benz in 1926. The Mercedes-Benz "star-like" logo, a long time creation of the late Daimler, characterized the power of his engines to travel by land, air, and sea, which is represented in the three-point star insignia.
Mercedes-Benz in America
Max Hoffman spearheaded the import of Mercedes-Benz vehicles in 1952, even though the automaker did not officially launch its U.S. brand until 1965. Mercedes-Benz expanded into the United States in 1957 after utilizing the services of the Studebaker-Packard Corporation for distribution. It wasn't until 1965 that Mercedes-Benz went on its own to launch Mercedes-Benz U.S.A. (MBUSA) .
MBUSA grew into a large enterprise with 1,500 employees and 355 dealerships that employ nearly 22,000 workers. The U.S. brand continues to expand with new technologies and an increasing number of factories nationwide.
Mercedes-Benz Models
In 1931, the automaker launched the Mercedes-Benz 170, which was the first automobile to boast the new revolutionary technology, four-wheel independent suspension. The next two decades saw continued advancements from the luxury brand, which was witnessed in the 380 and 540K cruisers.
Touted as the world's first supercar, Mercedes-Benz introduced the 300 SL "Gullwing" in the 1950s, followed by the 220 sedans, which led the industry in superior safety technology. Its patented "crumple zone" technology built into the automobiles' body designs put Mercedes-Benz at the top of the industry.
Mercedes-Benz ushered in the 1960s with a bang when it introduced its luxurious 600 Series sedan. The automaker, best known for its safety and luxury craftsmanship, added speed to its long list of accomplishments. The automobile featured a technologically superior air suspension system, was powered by a V-8 engine, and was also available as a limousine. Not long after, the fastest luxury sedan of its time, the Mercedes-Benz SEL 6.3 was born.
During the next two decades, Mercedes-Benz remained at the forefront of safety technology and was the first to offer anti-lock brakes in the 1970s with its S-class line. In the 1980s, the Daimler-Benz brand introduced the first cars in the world to come with airbags and traction control. Also introduced in this decade was the well-known multilink rear suspension, first seen on the Mercedes-Benz 190E.
After partnering with Aufrecht Melcher Großaspach (AMG) in the 1990s, Mercedes-Benz began to launch high-performance versions of its automobiles as seen in the sporty C36 AMG. Presently, the brand offers AMG versions of many of its vehicles.
The present-day Mercedes-Benz lineup includes names such as the affordable C-class vehicles, along with the top-notch S-class and the more robust E-class. The brand also offers coupe styles like the CLS-class and convertibles such as the CLK-class and SLK-class. In addition to the cars, Mercedes-Benz also offers a range of sport utility vehicles with the smaller GLK-class, the R-class, and the larger, boxy G-class.
Mercedes-Benz Products and Technologies
Mercedes-Benz has a long reputation for developing technological advances, which constantly press the envelope of what is possible for the automobile industry. With its advanced security features such as the invention of brakes on all four wheels to the luxury options like the Bi-Xenon headlamps, Mercedes-Benz is known for introducing products and services that outperform its competition.
The Intelligent Light System was first introduced in the C class vehicles. The technology includes Bi-Xenon headlamps which improve visibility and safety by automatically adjusting the brightness depending on the vehicle's location. The adaptive brake light system reduces rear-end collisions by automatically flashing the brakes when the driver slams on them to avoid a car collision. Other features like the Distronic Plus Adaptive Cruise Control monitor the traffic ahead and automatically adjust the driver's speed to protect against collisions. Mercedes-Benz is also known for its standard seven airbags with head restraints.
The "mbrace" feature is a newer addition and merges the technology of smartphones to the automobile market. Mbrace connects the vehicle owner to the world with its destination planning, security, and convenience services. From handling emergencies to finding a parked car in a garage, it's one more reason why Mercedes-Benz took the top spot in luxury and security innovation technology.

A capital callingAfter 15 years, HYP still pumps life into heart of Harrisburg region
Remember when downtown Harrisburg closed up shop at the end of the work day?
It wasn't all that long ago. There was no "Restaurant Row" or really much of anything to keep young professionals in the capital city after 5 p.m.
"It was a social wasteland," said Greg Rothman, president and CEO of Lemoyne-based RSR Realtors, reflecting on the downtown landscape in the latter part of the 1990s.
Rothman grew up in the area and said he always knew he would be coming back to Central Pennsylvania after college to join the family business.
He was in the minority. Most of his college-educated friends vowed not to return, he said.
Larger metropolitan areas — Baltimore and Philadelphia, for example — had thriving social scenes full of downtown restaurants, bars and other nightlife. Harrisburg was a victim of "brain drain."
"Looking back, Harrisburg had a worse reputation outside of the city limits than it does now," Rothman said, referring to the city's current fiscal challenges that revolve heavily around its debt-laden waste-to-energy plant.
In 1998, a subcommittee of the Technology Council of Central Pennsylvania began discussing how to combat the brain drain. That group included Rothman and four friends — Alex Hartzler, Eric Morrison, John Norton and Dan Schwab.
Taking the "if you build it" page out of the "Field of Dreams" playbook, the five 20- and 30-somethings set out to create an organization that would give young professionals a way to network with like-minded peers while helping to rebuild the region's urban core.
That organization was Harrisburg Young Professionals, which formed in the spring of 1998.
"We all knew each other. We all knew we were committed to the region," said Morrison, an attorney with Harrisburg-based McNees Wallace and Nurick LLC.
Relying on their social and professional circles, the five founders held mixers to sell the concept of a civic-minded organization that could promote Harrisburg as a great place to live, work and play.
They presented the idea to a small group of friends who then brought someone to the next gathering. After a few social events, there were lines out the door of places like Stock's on 2nd at happy hour.
"When we got to 100 members, we thought it was tremendous," said Hartzler, managing partner of Harrisburg-based WCI Partners LP, a real estate development company.
None of the founders thought the organization would ever get above 500 members. Today it has more than 1,500, plus many others who participate in its successful year-round sports leagues.
"We just thought it would be an organization where we could do things in the community and serve as a catalyst for some social events," said Norton, president of Harrisburg-based Access Equity Partners, which specializes in mid-market private equity mergers and acquisitions. "We wanted to highlight the area for people coming back from college."
Early years
Despite the buzz about HYP and its efforts to improve the look of the city, promote residential and commercial development and tackle other needs, the organization had its early critics.
For starters, there were those who didn't like the name and felt it should be a more regional organization, the founders said.
"It was branded as Harrisburg, and we believed in Harrisburg," said Hartzler, the organization's first president. "We need a group that focuses on the city and does projects that people can see."
The city-centric focus helped build a critical mass of young professionals, which would spur a bevy of downtown development within the first five years.
That captive audience continues to entice visionaries willing to take a chance on Harrisburg. New dining and nightlife spots are still popping up annually. Housing projects also are ongoing throughout pockets of the city, with the highest noticeable concentrations in the Midtown area.
"As we became successful, quickly there were a lot of established organizations and economic development agencies that wanted us to come underneath them," Morrison said.
It was a difficult decision early on to maintain independence, he said.
"When they started, there was no Restaurant Row, and downtown was desolate," said Meron Yemane, the organization's current president. "There was little belief in the city to lead the region. However, through HYP, it became known that was not true."
The organization was built with the right foundation, said Schwab, co-president of Harrisburg-based D&H Distributing Co. Inc.
"We knew it was a marathon, not a sprint," he said, noting the frequency with which issues crop up that can challenge a city such as Harrisburg.
Much like 15 years ago, Harrisburg is at an inflection point due to its financial woes, Schwab said. There is potential for it again to spring forward.
HYP is as important, if not more important, today, he said.
"It's a beacon of the community and a positive light in a city that's had a lot of challenges," Schwab said.
The strength of the organization is the annual emergence of new leadership, which brings a different perspective and vision, the founders said.
"The real success comes from new entrants each year," Schwab said, calling that the "shot in the arm" and motivator that the organization needs to continue growing.
HYP's multifaceted approach starting out — being more than just a social organization — also has contributed to its longevity.
"The social committee is the glue that holds it together, but we knew we also needed economic development, city living and city beautification," Morrison said.
There are nine committees in all.
"You would be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn't know what HYP is," said Joe Massaro, general manager of the Hilton Harrisburg, one of the early anchors in the downtown's revival. "HYP has its hands in so many projects."
Massaro came on as chairman of the board of advisers in 2012.
Business owners and those patronizing a downtown establishment want warm, welcoming neighborhoods, he said. Between outreach projects and streetscape work to its sports leagues that bolster economic activity, HYP has helped create that environment, he said.
"Things are very organic. Ideas come from within the membership," he said. "This is not a top-down organization. It's an organization that rallies around a person or an idea."
Massaro said he was so impressed by the enthusiasm and talent within the volunteer organization that the hotel began paying organization dues in 2012 for its employees.
"It makes for a better leader by having the opportunity to work with a wide range of individuals from different backgrounds, cultures and areas of expertise," he said.
Different roles
Today, all of the founders are in their 40s. Each of them stays active and serves to advise current leadership or rally those now well-established networks to back beautification projects and other organization initiatives.
"It wasn't about me. It wasn't about any one of us," Hartzler said. "It's having a broad-based support group that believes Harrisburg's better days are ahead."
Taking an active role in organizations such as HYP helps build a lot of trust and civic pride within the community, he said. HYP exposes people to new opportunities and helps them develop better leadership skills, which translates to the professional side.
HYP is an institution, one that has facilitated a spirit of camaraderie in the business community, Hartzler said.
"We're competitors, but also friends," he said. "Your success can be my success. We all do well when we all do well."
HYP could see further growth through the types of projects it chooses to take on, Norton said, citing the importance of partnerships that could spur downtown startup companies and grow the tax base.
The organization has the flexibility to morph on an annual basis or longer as the needs of the city change, Morrison said.
"You have got to keep bringing in new people with new ideas and expertise," Rothman said. "That's what every organization needs to do."
The city's financial struggles and challenges within the school district, as well as development, are all interrelated issues, Schwab added.
"If Harrisburg prospers, HYP prospers, and vice versa," he said.
HYP can't solve all the city's problems, but the organization has the ability to raise spirits and awareness of the issues and maximize community involvement, Schwab said. That could help accelerate recovery efforts.
"Other organizations look at our board members," Yemane said, noting that HYP is often the breeding ground for community servants. "It provides people with a chance to lead, network or find what they are looking for out of this area."
HYP is in constant contact with employers about retaining quality talent and ensuring that Harrisburg stays competitive in attracting new professionals, he said.
"There is a constant need for new talent," Morrison said. "A lot of what the organization is about is developing talent. This is real-world leadership training."
Not all volunteer
Until the summer of 2011, Harrisburg Young Professionals was run entirely by a volunteer board of directors, advisers and various committee chairs.
But with continued growth in membership — more than 1,500 today — the organization hired Renee Custer as a part-time business administrator.
The James Madison University graduate became the organization's full-time executive director at the end of 2012; she is tasked with overseeing the daily functions of HYP's nine committees and managing memberships.
"As a young professional myself, I feel that I'm in touch with the needs and desires of our target population," said Custer, 23. "I'm dedicated to our community and definitely ready to take on the new role."
Custer said she expects continued growth in the sports leagues. She also said HYP is planning to dive into some bigger community projects moving forward.
In the past, the organization has led efforts on City Island and helped improve the look of the State Street median.
"We know we need people out in the community speaking to other community leaders and organizations," she said. "We want to make sure HYP stays in the forefront."
The social events and networking will always be important aspects of the organization, she said. However, community outreach and making sure the city is an attractive place for residents and businesses are the driving forces today.
"While it may have started as social in nature, it has definitely grown to be much bigger than that," Custer said. "We do have opportunities to make a real impact. It's critical that we keep our eye on what has driven us over the past 15 years."
HYP started more as a way to get homegrown talent to move back or stay in Harrisburg. Today there is greater emphasis on retaining the talent, which also is coming in from outside the area, President Meron Yemane said.
"What (the founders) did was bring other great people to this area," he said. "And we've been able to retain them."

Age: 23
Home municipality: Harrisburg
Job title and company: Executive director, HYP
What would you say is HYP's biggest accomplishment to date? The list of various programs and community-impacting projects successfully executed by HYP over the last 15 years is remarkable. While any one program or project from this list could be argued as HYP's most successful accomplishment, I believe that its most notable accomplishment extends beyond programs and projects and lies within the culture and reputation it has established as Central Pa.'s premier young professional organization; a group of young people who truly care about Harrisburg, are dedicated to its success and devoted to creating a lasting positive impact in our community.

As Latinos, we often like to pass on our heritage through our food, our music, our culture — and, most importantly, our names. But, let's be real, while having a Spanish nombre is great, it comes with its own unique set of challenges.
These are the eight problems that people with Spanish names have all experienced:
1. #1: No One Can Pronounce It
Seriously, your name gets butchered beyond all possible comprehension on a fairly regularly basis. Like, daily. Every time you introduce yourself to someone, you're faced with dread over the possibility that they will A) be unable to pronounce it and simply stop after the first syllable or B) attempt a non-Spanish solution. Suddenly, your name is "Mary-Soul" instead of Marisol.
2. #2: Saying Your Name ALWAYS Means Spelling It
Anytime someone asks you for your name, you automatically begin spelling it. Often, this involves spelling things multiple times, and then just accepting the fact that you've completely wasted your breath because they're going to spell it wrong anyway. While this can prove annoying for legal documents and hotel reservations, it's most obnoxious at Starbucks.
3. #3: You Can Just Forget About Those Accent Marks
Oh, your name has an accent? Well, I hate to break it to you, but it's time to make a decision. Either you need to eliminate your ñ or í entirely, or spend hours of your life explaining to people how to correctly spell your name (and no, it's not correctly spelled if the accent is missing, ok?) As Michael Peña notes, accent marks hold a powerful place in Spanish language and culture. Unfortunately, many people skim over their importance, instead of taking the time to learn how to properly spell a name.
4. #4: People Refuse To Call You By Your Real Name
Instead of attempting to say your name properly, many simply re-christen you with an "Americanized" version of your own name. Oh, your name is Miguel? From now on, you're going to go by Michael. Guillermo? You're Willy now. And Maria? You're Mary. Despite repeated requests, many refuse to call you by your real name.
5. #5: Your Multiple Names Confuse Everybody
Take it from Soledad O'Brien, whose real name is Maria de la Soledad Theresa O'Brien: non-Latinos have a really difficult time understanding the concept of multiple names. Official legal documents also do not seem to understand the necessity for more space to fill out names! Too many Latinos have been forced to count their losses and shorten their names to simplify matters.
6. #6: You're Constantly Asked If You're Related To Someone
Perhaps your last name is Lopez. Sometimes, people assume that means you're related to every single other person named Lopez in the entire universe. Including Jennifer Lopez and George Lopez, presumably. Nope, sorry, I'm not related to your best friend's daughter's middle school teacher, but thanks for asking anyway.
7. #7: People Using The Word "Exotic" As A Compliment
Raise your hand if you've ever heard some variation of the following statement: "Oh, your name is Esperanza. That is sooo exotic."
I actually have two tias and a cousin named Esperanza, but I guess that's besides the point. The real problem here is the subtle implication that Latino culture is different, weird, or simply not the norm. I'd much rather receive a compliment on my "beautiful" name than on my "exotic" one, thankyouverymuch.
8. #8: You Experience Extreme Joy & Shock When Someone Gets It Right
Despite the fact that having a Spanish name can be an enormous pain in the butt, it definitely has its perks. Having a Spanish names means you get to represent your culture every single day of your life!
Besides, there's no better feeling than the extreme joy you experience everytime you meet someone who can properly pronounce (or spell!) your name.

The Kent County Levy Court's Finance Committee met following the Levy Court's regular business meeting on Tuesday in order to solve an issue which had occurred with the payroll system.
The Kent County Levy Court's Finance Committee met following the Levy Court's regular business meeting on Tuesday in order to solve an issue which had occurred with the payroll system.
During the 2011 fiscal year, Levy Court approved a 1.8 percent wage increase which would only be given to employees who had been hired before the start of the 2012 fiscal year, July 1, 2011. This change was not intended to affect the established rates for pay grades. The county's payroll system, however, was automatically calculating the pay grade 1.8 percent higher than what it should have been for those hired after the start of the start of the 2012 fiscal year, said Personnel Director Allan Kujala.
For example, according to the presentation by Kujala, the payroll system was calculating the pay for an employee in pay grade 2 of the lowest step at $9.86 when the actual pay should have been $9.69. The only way to make sure the employee was being paid correctly was to manually enter those employees' pay information into the payroll system.
This group currently consists of 33 employees, Kujala said, but if the problem was left uncorrected that group would only increase as new employees were hired.
Kujala had a solution to the problem.
Giving all 33 employees who are being maintained manually a 0.8 percent pay increase will cost the county $22,100, $14,900 of which would come from the general fund and $7,200 of which would come from the sewer fund, Kujala said. This excludes those who are above the maximum pay range, and those who chose not to accept a pay increase will still need to be maintained manually, he added.
"A 0.8 percent increase puts them on the proper step," he said. "The system will automatically adjust pay rates in the future."
The commissioners came to a consensus to carry out Kujala's proposed plan of giving a 0.8 percent pay increase to those 33 employees. The additional $22,100 from the two funds will be incorporated into the proposed budget, which will be introduced on April 9 and voted on April 23.

Template:Article summary start Template:Article summary text Template:Article summary heading Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary end Tmux is a "terminal multiplexer: it enables a number of terminals (or windows), each running a separate program, to be created, accessed, and controlled from a single screen. tmux may be detached from a screen and continue running in the background, then later reattached."
Tmux is notable as a BSD-licensed alternative to GNU Screen. Although similar, there are many differences between the programs, as noted on the tmux FAQ page. Most notably, tmux is currently under active development, in contrast to screen, which has not had a stable release since August 8, 2008.

- 3 Session initialization
- 4 Troubleshooting
- 5 ICCCM Selection Integration
- 6 Tips and tricks
- 6.1 Start tmux in urxvt
- 6.2 Start tmux on every shell login
- 6.3 Use tmux windows like tabs
- 6.4 Clients simultaneously interacting with various windows of a session
- 6.5 Changing the configuration with tmux started
- 6.6 Template script to run program in new session resp. attach to existing one
- 6.7 Terminal emulator window titles
- 7 See also
Install tmux, available in the Official Repositories.
A user-specific configuration file should be located at
~/.tmux.conf, while a global configuration file should be located at
/etc/tmux.conf. Default configuration files can be found in
Key bindings
|Create a new window
|Change to next window
|Change to previous window
|Split pane horizontally
|Split pane vertically
|Rename current window
|Move to next pane
By default, command key bindings are prefixed by Ctrl-b. For example, to vertically split a window type
Ctrl-b %.
After splitting a window into multiple panes, you can resize a pane by the hitting prefix key (i.e.
Ctrl-b) and, while continuing to hold Ctrl, press Left/Right/Up/Down. Swapping panes is achieved in the same manner, but by hitting o instead of a directional key.
/usr/share/tmux/screen-keys.conf to either of the configuration locations.
Key bindings may be changed with the bind and unbind commands in
tmux.conf. For example, you can change the prefix key (i.e.
Ctrl-b) to
Ctrl-a by adding the following commands in your configuration file:
unbind C-b set -g prefix C-a
Additional ways to move between windows include:
Ctrl-b l (Move to the previously selected window) Ctrl-b w (List all windows / window numbers) Ctrl-b <window number> (Move to the specified window number, the default bindings are from 0 – 9) Ctrl-b q (Show pane numbers, when the numbers show up type the key to goto that pane)
What if you have 10+ windows open? Tmux has a find-window option & keybinding.
Ctrl-b f <window name> (Search for window name) Ctrl-b w (Select from interactive list of windows)
Browsing URL's
To browse URL's inside tmux you must have urlviewAUR installed and configured.
Inside a new terminal:
bind-key u capture-pane \; save-buffer /tmp/tmux-buffer \; run-shell "$TERMINAL -e urlview /tmp/tmux-buffer"
Or inside a new tmux window (no new terminal needed):
bind-key u capture-pane \; save-buffer /tmp/tmux-buffer \; new-window -n "urlview" '$SHELL -c "urlview < /tmp/tmux-buffer"'
Setting the correct term
If you are using a 256 colour terminal, you will need to set the correct term in tmux. You can do this in either the
set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"
or in your
.bashrc with a test like:
# for tmux: export 256color [ -n "$TMUX" ] && export TERM=screen-256color
If you enable xterm-keys in your
tmux.conf, then you need to build a custom terminfo to declare the new escape codes or applications will not know about them. Compile the following with
tic and you can use "xterm-screen-256color" as your TERM:
# A screen- based TERMINFO that declares the escape sequences # enabled by the tmux config "set-window-option -g xterm-keys". # # Prefix the name with xterm- since some applications inspect # the TERM *name* in addition to the terminal capabilities advertised. xterm-screen-256color|GNU Screen with 256 colors bce and tmux xterm-keys, # As of Nov'11, the below keys are picked up by # .../tmux/blob/master/trunk/xterm-keys.c: kDC=\E[3;2~, kEND=\E[1;2F, kHOM=\E[1;2H, kIC=\E[2;2~, kLFT=\E[1;2D, kNXT=\E[6;2~, kPRV=\E[5;2~, kRIT=\E[1;2C, # Change this to screen-256color if the terminal you run tmux in # doesn't support bce: use=screen-256color-bce,

Session initialization
You can have tmux open a session with preloaded windows by including those details in your
new -n WindowName Command neww -n WindowName Command neww -n WindowName Command
To start a session with split windows (multiple panes), include the splitw command below the neww you would like to split; thus:
new -s SessionName -n WindowName Command neww -n foo/bar foo splitw -v -p 50 -t 0 bar selectw -t 1 selectp -t 0
would open 2 windows, the second of which would be named foo/bar and would be split vertically in half (50%) with foo running above bar. Focus would be in window 2 (foo/bar), top pane (foo).
To manage multiple sessions, source separate session files from your conf file:
# initialize sessions bind F source-file ~/.tmux/foo bind B source-file ~/.tmux/bar
Scrolling issues
If you have issues scrolling with Shift-PageUp/Shift-PageDown in your terminal, try this:
set -g terminal-overrides 'xterm*:smcup@:rmcup@'
Shift+F6 not working in Midnight Commander
If the Template:Keypress key combination is not working with either
TERM=screen or
TERM=screen-256color, then from inside tmux, run this command:
infocmp > screen (or screen-256color)
Open the file in a text editor, and add the following to the bottom of that file:
Then compile the file with
tic. The keys should be working now.
ICCCM Selection Integration
It is possible to copy a tmux paste buffer to an ICCCM selection, and vice-versa, by defining a shell command which interfaces tmux with an X11 selection interface. The following tmux config file snippet effectively integrates
CLIPBOARD with the current tmux paste buffer using xclip:
... ##CLIPBOARD selection integration ##Requires prefix key before the command key #Copy tmux paste buffer to CLIPBOARD bind C-c run "tmux show-buffer | xclip -i -selection clipboard" #Copy CLIPBOARD to tmux paste buffer and paste tmux paste buffer bind C-v run "tmux set-buffer -- \"$(xclip -o -selection clipboard)\"; tmux paste-buffer"
If you get an output similar to
\346\227\245\346\234\254\350\252\236\343\201\247 when pasting utf-8 characters, try changing this line:
bind C-c run "tmux show-buffer | xclip -i -selection clipboard"
to this:
bind C-p run "tmux save-buffer - | xclip -i -selection clipboard"
Tips and tricks
Start tmux in urxvt
Use this command to start urxvt with a started tmux session. I use this with the exec command from my .ratpoisonrc file.
urxvt -e bash -c "tmux -q has-session && exec tmux attach-session -d || exec tmux new-session -n$USER -s$USER@$HOSTNAME"
Start tmux on every shell login
Simply add the following line of bash code to your .bashrc before your aliases; the code for other shells is very similar:
[[ $TERM != "screen" ]] && exec tmux
# If not running interactively, do not do anything [[ $- != *i* ]] && return [[ $TERM != screen* ]] && exec tmux
And this snippet start only one session(unless you start some manually), on login, try attach at first, only create a session if no tmux is running.
# TMUX if which tmux 2>&1 >/dev/null; then #if not inside a tmux session, and if no session is started, start a new session test -z "$TMUX" && (tmux attach || tmux new-session) fi
This snippet does the same thing, but also checks tmux is installed before trying to launch it. It also tries to reattach you to an existing tmux session at logout, so that you can shut down every tmux session quickly from the same terminal at logout.
# TMUX if which tmux 2>&1 >/dev/null; then # if no session is started, start a new session test -z ${TMUX} && tmux # when quitting tmux, try to attach while test -z ${TMUX}; do tmux attach || break done fi
Use tmux windows like tabs
The following settings added to
~/.tmux.conf allow to use tmux windows like tabs, such as those provided by the reference of these hotkeys — urxvt's tabbing extensions. An advantage thereof is that these virtual "tabs" are independent of the terminal emulator.
#urxvt tab like window switching (-n: no prior escape seq) bind -n S-down new-window bind -n S-left prev bind -n S-right next bind -n C-left swap-window -t -1 bind -n C-right swap-window -t +1
Of course, those should not overlap with other applications' hotkeys, such as the terminal's. Given that they substitute terminal tabbing that might as well be deactivated, though.
It can also come handy to supplement the EOT hotkey Template:Keypress with one for tmux's detach:
bind-key -n C-j detach
Clients simultaneously interacting with various windows of a session
In "Practical Tmux", Brandur Leach writes:
The script "
tmx" below implements this — the version here is slightly modified to execute "
tmux new-window" if "1" is its second parameter. Invoked as
tmx <base session name> [1] it launches the base session if necessary. Otherwise a new "client" session linked to the base, optionally add a new window and attach, setting it to kill itself once it turns "zombie".
#!/bin/bash # # Modified TMUX start script from: # http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-836006-start-0.html # # Store it to `~/bin/tmx` and issue `chmod +x`. # # Works because bash automatically trims by assigning to variables and by # passing arguments trim() { echo $1; } if [[ -z "$1" ]]; then echo "Specify session name as the first argument" exit fi # Only because I often issue `ls` to this script by accident if [[ "$1" == "ls" ]]; then tmux ls exit fi base_session="$1" # This actually works without the trim() on all systems except OSX tmux_nb=$(trim `tmux ls | grep "^$base_session" | wc -l`) if [[ "$tmux_nb" == "0" ]]; then echo "Launching tmux base session $base_session ..." tmux new-session -s $base_session else # Make sure we are not already in a tmux session if [[ -z "$TMUX" ]]; then echo "Launching copy of base session $base_session ..." # Session is is date and time to prevent conflict session_id=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S` # Create a new session (without attaching it) and link to base session # to share windows tmux new-session -d -t $base_session -s $session_id if [[ "$2" == "1" ]]; then # Create a new window in that session tmux new-window fi # Attach to the new session & kill it once orphaned tmux attach-session -t $session_id \; set-option destroy-unattached fi fi
A useful setting for this is
setw -g aggressive-resize on
added to
~/.tmux.conf. It causes tmux to resize a window based on the smallest client actually viewing it, not on the smallest one attached to the entire session.
An alternative taken from [1] is to put the following ~/.bashrc:
function rsc() { CLIENTID=$1.`date +%S` tmux new-session -d -t $1 -s $CLIENTID \; set-option destroy-unattached \; attach-session -t $CLIENTID } function mksc() { tmux new-session -d -s $1 rsc $1 }
Citing the author: Template:Box
Changing the configuration with tmux started
By default tmux reads
~/.tmux.conf only if it was not already running. To have tmux load a configuration file afterwards, execute:
tmux source-file <path>
This can be added to
~/.tmux.conf as e. g.:
bind r source-file <path>
You can also do ^: and type :
source .tmux.conf
Template script to run program in new session resp. attach to existing one
This script checks for a program presumed to have been started by a previous run of itself. Unless found it creates a new tmux session and attaches to a window named after and running the program. If however the program was found it merely attaches to the session and selects the window.
#!/bin/bash PID=$(pidof $1) if [ -z "$PID" ]; then tmux new-session -d -s main ; tmux new-window -t main -n $1 "$*" ; fi tmux attach-session -d -t main ; tmux select-window -t $1 ; exit 0
A derived version to run irssi with the nicklist plugin can be found on its ArchWiki page.
Terminal emulator window titles
If you SSH into a host in a tmux window, you'll notice the window title of your terminal emulator remains to be
user@localhost rather than
user@server. To allow the title bar to adapt to whatever host you connect to, set the following in
set -g set-titles on set -g set-titles-string "#T"
#T will display
user@host:~ and change accordingly as you connect to different hosts. You can also set many more options here.

Well DDT4 this past weekend was my first LIVE PWG show and it was a fantastic one! I will certainly be back on May25th.
Based on my DDT4 experience, here's what to expect...
What kind of tickets will you be getting? Front Row/Presale General Admission/ or buy them at the door? If you can get front, I suggest that since it's only $5 more. Also from what I remember the 3 tickets I listed stand in 3 different lines and they let in, in that order. If you order tickets online (Front Row/ or General Admission) you don't get a physical ticket, but instead when you walk in, they will ask for your name that you placed the order in, and will hand you the tickets there. If I were you I would get there around 5-ish when the line is short (also there is a ton of parking at this time), I got there at 5:15pm and managed to get a good second row seat (since I had General Admission). First 2-3 rows I would say is the 'Splash zone' where you would have to get up and move if they dive over the ropes ect. It's pretty fun. They do sell Shirt's and DVD's there, I picked up a few when I was there.
Hope I helped :P

First of all, welcome to PWG! The live shows are immensely fun, just be prepared to move from your seat, unless you sit against the walls. I would suggest eat a lot pre-show and the show will likely last until 11:30 pm, midnight or later, so post-show, you may just want to drive home (or hotel, or friend's place or w/e) and sleep afterwards. Your adrenaline may be flowing, so you might be wide awake on the way home.

Matt Flash wrote:I'd like to see something along these lines...
Brian Cage-Taylor vs. Adam Cole- Just... yes. This match would be fan-fucking-tastic. Cage is stepping it up big-time, and Cole is always game for a great match.
Dynasty, Rosas and Ryan Taylor vs. RockNES, Perkins and Candace. I'd take out Taylor and Candace, but, I know they'll more than likely be included.
Young Bucks vs. 2 Husky Black Guys- The runners up vs. the team that thinks they should be #1 contenders. Seems only right, I think. And this would be a HOT match, with everything up in the air since PWG always seems to pick the perfect spots for Super teams to win/lose and the Bucks to win/lose. It's always a surprise, and I could easily see both of these teams winning.
Sami Callahan vs. Roderick Strong- This could be a fantastic thing of beauty. I'd love nothing more than for this to happen.
Davey Richards vs. Kyle O'Reilly- I still want this match, damnit!
Super Smash Brothers vs. The Briscoes- I'm not a huge Briscoes fan anymore. I more enjoy their promos. But their name still carries a lot of weight on the indies, and it would be a huge feather in SSB's cap on the way to their big Tag Team Title match.
PWG World Title Match: Kevin Steen (c) vs. Eddie Edwards- You could make the argument that it was Generico's move that put Edwards away, and Steen stole that pin. PLUS, Edwards was supposed to get a one-on-one match anyways, so let him get that rematch the right way. And you can also let Super Dragon sit out and stay healthy, just to be sure he can wrestle at the Anniversary Show. That's infinitely more important than a random post-tourney show.
Easy peasy.

This recipe comes from one of my newer purchases "Love Bakery – cupcakes from the heart". I know, I know… it's unlike me to buy a cook book…..ahem. This particular recipe is listed as a breakfast cake, which even I think is pushing it a little!
I wanted to make an apple cupcake and I liked the way this used grated apple ensuring a flavoursome, moist sponge – it keeps well too. I was toying with a similar recipe I'd come across elsewhere that used virtually the same cake but with a streusel topping. I left the decision to the CCM (Caked Crusader's Ma) who went for this one as it had buttercream and cinnamon (these are two magic words for the CCM).
This cupcake is a classic example of strong, simple flavours working well together. I pondered whether to core the cupcake and add some apple puree but it really doesn't need it.
On removing these little cakes from the oven I did something I can't recall ever doing before – I ate one of them. It wasn't a problem as the mix made so many more cakes than I expected (I'm wondering whether my cases were small as I got 20 when the recipe stated 12, and I'm not exactly known for being mean with my cake!). The sponge is light as air – seriously; the only way you know you have anything in your mouth is because of the strong apple and cinnamon flavour. It's incredible; I've never tasted a sponge like it. The next day it was very different – the sponge turned squidgier; it was just as delicious but a notably different texture – more like a mega-moist doughnut. So if you want them airy and spongy eat on the day of baking; if you like the sound of apple sponge doughnuts, make a day in advance!
The sponge is particularly good and I'm already thinking of other ways to use it – maybe with a custard based frosting. Or perhaps as a larger, sandwich style cake with the buttercream between the layers.
For some extra flavour and texture I soaked some chopped apple and sultanas in apple liqueur and added this to the top of half my cupcakes. The fruit looked like a pared-down mincemeat:
On the cupcakes topped with fruit, I piped a nest of buttercream....
...and then filled it with goodies!
You might just be able to make out the liqueur trickling down into the sponge in this shot:
For the cupcakes (the recipe said this makes 12 cupcakes but I actually got 20!):
125g unsalted butter, at room temperature
140g caster sugar
2 eggs
200g self raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons milk
2 apples, peeled, cored and grated
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the buttercream(I found this was plenty – even though I got 20 cupcakes!):
125g unsalted butter, at room temperature
300g icing sugar
1 tablespoon milk
2 tablespoon honey
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Optional, to decorate: dried apple and sultanas (I soaked mine in apple liqueur but apple brandy or even plain rum or brandy would work just as well)
Preheat the oven to 180˚C/fan oven 160˚C/350˚F/Gas mark 4.
Line two cupcake pans with paper cases; this mix will make 20 generous cupcakes.
Beat together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Don't skimp on this stage as you're beating air into your batter.
Gradually beat in the eggs.
Gently stir in the flour and baking powder – don't over mix.
Gently stir in the milk.
Add the grated apple and cinnamon and stir into the batter until combined. Make sure that you've incorporated all the batter from the bottom of the bowl as you want the apple distributed evenly throughout the sponge.
Spoon into the paper cases and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cupcakes comes out clean. Mine took 20 minutes.
Leave the cupcakes to cool on a wire rack, removing from the tin as soon as you can safely do so.
Once cool, the cupcakes will store overnight in an airtight container.
To make the buttercream: beat the butter until fluffy and pale.
Add the sifted icing sugar and milk and continue to beat until light and well combined – I always place a little of the mix on my tongue and press to the roof of my mouth; if it tastes grainy it needs more beating.
Beat in the honey and cinnamon.
Pipe onto the cupcakes and decorate, if required with the dried apple and sultanas.
Bask in the glory at the wonderful thing you have created.
