Work the Shell - Dealing with Spaces in Filenames
and reversed with:
original="$(echo $safename | sed s'/_-_/ /g')"
It solves the problem, but it's definitely not a very efficient or smart use of computing resources.
I've outlined three possible solution paths herein: modifying the IFS value, ensuring that you always quote filenames where referenced, and rewriting filenames internally to replace spaces with unlikely character sequences, reversing it on your way out of the script.
By the way, have you ever tried using the find|xargs pair with filenames that have spaces? It's sufficiently complicated that modern versions of these two commands have special arguments to denote that spaces might appear as part of the filenames: find -print and xargs -0 (and typically, they're not the same flags, but that's another story).
During the years I've been writing this column, I've more than once tripped up on this particular problem and received e-mail messages from readers sharing how a sample script tosses up its bits when a file with a space in its name appears. They're right.
My defensive reaction is "dude, don't use spaces in filenames", but that's not really a good long-term solution, is it?
What I'd like to do instead is open this up for discussion on the Linux Journal discussion boards: how do you solve this problem within your scripts? Or, do you just religiously avoid using spaces in your filenames?

Why not using the IFS??
I've gone through this dilemma in recent project and found using IFS simple and very effective,
Is this possible for all cases and the one mentioned in the article above?
IFS=$(echo -en "\n\b")
#do what ever you want ... then restore the original variable
Salah Aldeen
The problem, internal shell conversions
To manage this problem I had been using code like this,
for filename in *; do aux=$filename/; LS[${#LS[@]}]=${aux%/}; done
rm "${LS[24]}", as example
The catch here is to avoid the conversions taken by the shell when you access to the content of a variable, the trick is to append to the variable a character, trying to make the shell guess that it's a string, and then you can gain access without infamous conversions, but at later you ougth to remove the char in order to use it as a filename.
The chars candidates for this job are NUll, $'/0, and "/".
s/find -print/find -print0/ ?
Dave, did you mean '-print0' as opposed to '-print'? While both kind of make sense, when paired with 'xargs -0' I think the former makes *more* sense.
With respect to spaces, I usually don't bother dealing with them unless I *know* that they'll be there (e.g. I'm manipulating data that non-geek customers access via a Samba share and put plenty of weird characters in).
One of the other solutions I've considered, but not really had to use yet, is to switch to Perl or Python for these particular use-cases, given they handle escaping of spaces somewhat better.
It's something I'd rather not do given I'm more familiar with Bash than either of the above, but it may be the lease bad solution, even if I do have to dig up my text books to work out how to do something that would be trivial in Bash.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Around 100 people gathered at the European Commission Representation in Helsinki on December 12th to celebrate the National Closing Event of the European Year in Finland. Organised by the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health, the event was hosted by the national Coordinator of the EY2012, Professor Anneli Leppanen, and the Secretary of the Year, Marjo Wallin.
Welcome speeches were delivered by Sinikka Näätsaari, State Secretary to the Minister of Social Affairs and Health; Harri Vainio, Executive Director of the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health, and Sari Artjoki, from the European Commission Representation in Finland, who admitted how proud she is that her country has "cleaned the table" of the European Year 2012 Awards, winning in three categories out of seven. "I am sure that after this European Year elderly people will be seen as an active and positive part of the society", se said.
Then if was time for 76-year old rapper Eila Nevanranta to delight the audience with themes from her brand new first album, "Skolioosi".
Marja Saarenheimo, Senior Researcher Fellow of the Central Union for the Welfare of the Aged, talked about their Four Generations Meet campaign, and Anna Pylkkanen, from Proud Age, also explained some of their activities. Proud Age, she said, wants to show that ageing is as a good thing full of possibilities.
The event included a presentation of the Finnish Winners of the EY2012 Awards. Hannu Gustafsson, member of the Grandads at School initiative which won the generations@school prize said that "the best award comes from children. Over 500 kids call me grandfather in Mynamaki, and I see it as an honour".
The EY2012 had 11 ambassadors in Finland, who were also honoured during the closing ceremony. Famous dancer Aira Samulin, 85 years old, shared with the audience some of the touching moments she experienced this year in different meetings with people. She was one of the most active ambassadors of the European Year, visiting students for the generations@school initiative and also participating in the Seniorforce Day.

A Walgreens drugstore, IHOP and Cookout restaurants, plus a 792-bed student housing complex were among proposals reviewed Tuesday night by members of the Richmond Planning and Zoning Commission in its monthly work session.
Votes to approve or disapprove the proposals could take place as early as 5:30 p.m. April 25 when the planners meet for their monthly business session. Some proposals could be approved contingent upon other approvals.
Plans for a dental office, a mattress retailer and an eight-unit building on the Liberty Place Recovery Center for Women's campus on Holly Drive were reviewed as well. A proposal to lift a ban on multi-family buildings in the Heritage Place subdivision off Barnes Mill Road to allow for construction of a senior adult apartment building was heard.
A Walgreens drug store is being proposed for the 26-acre Woodlawn Crossing property in the northwest corner of the US 25/Eastern Bypass intersection.
A preliminary plat that would create two lots of 1.9 and 2.6 acres each in the corner nearest the highways was presented, along with a site development plan for a 1,900 square foot drugstore on the larger lot.
The development would have two entrances. One would come off the westbound lane of the bypass opposite the bypass entrance to Kroger, allowing only right turns in and out.
Another entrance would come off US 25 opposite Northland Drive that runs by Clayton Homes.
The developer would create a left-turn lane on the highway so traffic could enter or leave the property in both directions.
In addition to approvals from the state highway department and the city, the developers will need approval from the Kentucky Division of Water, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, their consultants noted.
On the opposite end of the Eastern Bypass, another developer is proposing to build three commercial units between the southbound off-ramp of Interstate 75's Exit 87 and Jack's BP.
One would be an IHOP restaurant, one would be an office for Aspen Dental and the third would be for a retailer known as The Mattress Firm.
Planning Commission member Richard Thomas noted that both of these developments would have entrances very near intersections that already are frequently congested. Both are too near the intersections for the state to approve traffic signals, he also said.
A Cookout Fresh Hamburger restaurant is being proposed for the southwest corner of Killarney Lane and the Eastern Bypass. The 3,285 square-foot building would have a two-lane drive-thru and 34 parking spaces. Although many of the chain's restaurants are drive-thru only, the Richmond outlet would also serve dine-in food, its consultant said.
In 2006, a developer won approval to rezone property and construct a privately owned 18-acre student-housing complex on Cycle Drive off Boggs Lane behind what is now the Baptist Health-Richmond hospital.
Work was never begun, but a new developer has acquired that interest and is proposing a 12-building, 792-bed complex on 25 acres in the same area.
It would be constructed in three phases and include a road from Cycle Drive to Kit Carson Drive that would give it direct access to the Eastern Kentucky University campus.
Work must start on the proposal within 12 months or the property will revert to agricultural zoning and an agreement with EKU to extend Cycle Drive to campus will expire, the developer's consultant said.
In 2006, when the Heritage Place residential property was rezoned R-4 (Multi-use Residential) the city had imposed a moratorium on apartment construction, said Michael Eaves, attorney for the developer.
To obtain the new zoning, the owner agreed to a land-use restriction that would allow construction of only single-family homes and duplexes. No apartment buildings — although R-4 normally allowed only six-units per acre — could be built.
Now, the developer would like to build apartments for adults 55 and older on 5.8 acres around Heritage House, which was once a private residence and has been a bed and breakfast.
Although the city has discarded the R-4 zone, it remains in effect where it previously existed and allows less dense development than the R-3 (Multi-family Residential) zone where apartments may be built, said Jason Hart, the city's planning director.
After the financial crisis of 2008 brought development to a virtual halt, work trailed off for the three municipal planning boards in Madison County. Judging by the number and size of proposals on the Richmond planners' agenda Tuesday, the drought has ended, at least for commercial development.

Consider These Options to Cut College Costs
When putting together your short list, consider some creative ways to save.
Cadets Patrick Stanton (center) converses with Joshua Dill on the steps of Boston University's College of Arts and Sciences.
Brandon Hong had to figure out how to finance his education. Interested in a military career, the San Jose, Calif., native applied for a Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) scholarship from the federal government. Not only did he receive it, but the college he chose to attend—Boston University—gave him additional aid, covering virtually all of his costs. Hong majored in aerospace engineering and graduated in May 2011. He has been commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force.
"ROTC is kind of like a full-time job on top of classes," Hong says. "But you learn how to manage your time." And it definitely helped that BU is "really, really supportive of the program," he adds.
Hong considered other colleges with ROTC programs—including the University of California—San Diego and George Washington University in Washington, D.C.—but their financial aid packages weren't as generous. Attending the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., was another option Hong weighed, but the application process seemed burdensome, and he wanted a more typical college experience.
[Save money by getting two degrees for the price of one.]
Hong could spend a decade or more fulfilling his commitment to the Air Force, but he is quick to see the upsides. He avoided taking out any loans at a time when the average student with loans graduates with an average of about $27,000 in debt, and he avoided job-hunting in a sluggish economy.
For most students, going to college remains an expensive proposition. The College Board reports that in 2011-2012, after adjusting for inflation, tuition and fees at public four-year universities were 3.68 times what they were in 1981-1982, while at private four-year colleges the figure was 2.81. Though financial aid can dramatically reduce the debt load, students who make smart decisions when choosing a school can reduce their costs—and not just by enrolling in ROTC.
Some other ideas:
Go to community college, then transfer: One alternative for high school grads is to attend a local community college for a year or two before transferring to a four-year institution. In California, it costs about $1,100 a year for full-time tuition at a community college versus about $12,190 within the University of California system; students can also save on room and board by living at home.
Starting out at a community college offers other advantages when the time comes to apply to a four-year school. For instance, roughly two thirds of transfer students accepted by Amherst College in Massachusetts come from community colleges. At the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, the figure is more than 40 percent.
[Learn more about saving by starting at community college.]
The University of Massachusetts—Lowell helps transfer students finish their bachelor's degrees by providing up to four semesters of free tuition for those who earn associate degrees (with at least a 3.0 GPA) at one of the state's 15 community colleges. Other state university systems across the country are offering similar opportunities.
Go to an in-state school: Historically, a student who chose to go to a public university in another state has had to pay considerably higher tuition than in-staters. At the University of Michigan—Ann Arbor, for instance, in-state tuition and fees for full-time freshmen will be $12,994 in 2012-2013, compared to $39,122 for out-of-state students. At the University of North Carolina—Chapel Hill, the difference in tuition and fees is similarly large: $7,690 for residents versus $28,442 for nonresidents.
States are able to justify such discrepancies because their tax dollars are the main source of support for public universities, and policymakers feel they should be using that money to subsidize the education of students whose families are paying those taxes. In addition, out-of-state students are less likely to stay beyond graduation and contribute to the local economy.
In recent years, some regions have adapted and expanded the in-state model. For example, in the Midwest, states have forged reciprocal agreements to give out-of-state students a break on tuition at participating institutions, from community colleges to research universities offering doctoral degrees.

Jiggs Whigham pBone and the Susan G. Komen Northern Indiana Affiliate have a similar goal: both promote early detection, in different ways. pBone was designed to aid in a child's interest for music early in their development and Susan G. Komen promotes breast cancer awareness by encouraging early detection .
The pink pBone team plans to demonstrate its support for a Cure for breast cancer by running in the Northern Indiana Race for the Cure and generously announced today that $5.00 from every sale of the pink pBone will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Northern Indiana Affiliate. That's why it became a natural fit for the pBone team to kick off the launch of its latest color PINK at the Susan G. Komen Northern Indiana Race for the Cure. The race is being held in Potawatomi Park on Saturday, June 15, 2013.
The Jiggs Whigham pBone brings a fun and intriguing twist to the traditional trombone. Developed by accomplished trombonists, the pBone was designed to spark the interest in young children and promote interest in the art of brass playing. With its plastic construction, this lightweight instrument sounds remarkably like brass trombones. The pBone is being used by professionals, amateurs, and students alike. pBone is a fun way to catch the eye and ear of any audience, as will be demonstrated at Potawatomi Park this weekend.
pBone is a colorful, fully functional small bore trombone. To find out more about the resilient construction, remarkable durability, dimensions and available colors visit www.jiggspbone.com.

The Juno Award for Traditional Jazz Album of the Year has been awarded since 1977. It began as the Best Jazz Album, later was also known as the Best Mainstream Jazz Album and then Best Traditional Jazz Album – Instrumental. It is in recognition of the best traditional jazz album nationally across Canada. The Juno Awards are bestowed annually to Canadian musical artists and bands to recognize their musical accomplishments.

Musser's New Home in the USA Instrument Manufacturing Capitol
We are proud to announce the integration of the Musser production site to our Woodwind manufacturing facility located in Elkhart, IN later this year (2013). Musser products and the world-renowned sound of these percussion instruments have always been an integral part of the music industry. Conn-Selmer hosts plant tours and summits throughout the year in Elkhart. Having Musser production in Elkhart will ensure that artists, educators and students who visit will be able to experience the unique artistry of our employees making a comprehensive line of brass, woodwind and percussion instruments for band and orchestra at an American company.
Months of planning and application of the most contemporary strategies for successfully relocating a production facility are being utilized to oversee the upcoming transition. Focus on product quality and meticulous maintenance of production processes is paramount. Musser's use of wood is a natural fit in the Elkhart Woodwind facility and has access to resource advantages not previously available.
Even current suppliers are participating in the effort to ensure that the Musser products are moved without any disruption to our customers. Twenty-seven of Musser's current suppliers attended a recent Supplier Day event, one supplier summarized the general sentiment of Musser's dedicated partners by stating, "We've been on board for many, many years with Musser and look forward to remaining a strategic business partner with Musser after the move. We are committed to assist in any way possible to help make this great transition totally successful." This type of support and attention to all details, including the transfer of key employees with over 82 years of experience, are only some of the endeavors being taken to guarantee that Musser will continue to provide the world with the finest sounding, American made, percussion instruments.
We are looking forward to the arrival of Musser at our Elkhart Campus which includes our corporate headquarters, distribution centers, the Vincent Bach and the Woodwind facilities.
Thank you for your continued support.

"We seen that deer run through the yard."
"Me and my brother will help you with that."
"If my husband had went to Home Depot instead..." (spoken by an English teacher!)
"Where you at?" (not even "Where're you at?")
"We was workin' on it all day."
"People are like dead, and it was like scary, and I'm like no way..." ( interview)
Answering the phone: "Yeah, this is him. 'Sup?"
These are all real. These are all horrible. These are just a few really horrible English grammar or usage errors that have attacked my linguistic sensibilities recently, and I have had it! This isn't the way English was used when I was growing up, and it certainly wasn't permitted when I spent 30+ years teaching English or Language Arts.
No, I didn't have one of those foreign-born, we-must-learn-to-speak-good-English-to-succeed-in-this-country childhoods. It was a very normal, we-speak-correctly-in-this-family, plain old family that had been here for many generations. Dad, mother, sister, brother -- all good in English. In all humility, though, I think I was the best in the family.
It was the nuns. Now you may have all your cry-baby, the-nuns-were-so-mean repressed memories, but the nuns -- specifically the Humility of Mary (Blue Nuns) Sisters of Villa Maria, PA -- were the best teachers I could have had in grades 1-8, especially in English. From first grade on, we had massive English lessons every day and English homework almost every night. I learned -- I really had no choice. But I learned proper English, correct usage, good syntax. By the time I was in eighth grade, I was pretty sure that I knew more - tons more! - about the English language and its correct usage than my public school contemporaries.
I switched to public school for high school, and I was lucky enough - due to my English skills - to be placed in an "Honors/Advanced Placement" pilot program in English that had come to that school. I liked it and did well. I had several male English teachers along the way, and I decided that I would follow the same path they had pursued.
Once I became an English teacher I discovered that not all of my students spoke or wrote as well as I thought they would/should. I became the English monster, the grammar nazi, and -- so-named by my high school students -- the grammar god. You can bet, though, that my students would never have written or said any of the examples at the beginning of this piece. They would have paid a horrible price if they had. So why am I hearing and seeing it now?
I truly believe the problem began when many school systems stopped the teaching of grammar and usage in the upper grades as a discrete (don't even question my spelling there) subject. No one conjugated verbs any more, so "we was" popped up. No one learned the principal parts of verbs (necessary for learning conjugation!), so "we seen" and "he had went" became acceptable. No one learned the difference between nominative and objective case pronouns, so "me and my brother" popped up. (Not to mention the politeness of never mentioning yourself first.) No one learned about what follows a linking verb, so "this is him" popped up. No one learned the difference between like and as, because none of this was being taught. The "theory" was that the students would learn all these things through writing, but I could never understand how they would know what I was marking on their writing (agr., pron/antecedent agr., tense, awk., shift, case, etc. etc. etc.) if they had never learned the basics to begin with. I could go on and on.
I still do my share of editing, correcting and judging. I am often bewildered by what I read or hear from seemingly intelligent people. All those example at the beginning are from people I know, sometimes socialize with, and younger than I. (One is from the child of a friend and one was taken from the news.) What do I do? Cringe and bite my tongue, I guess. I can't correct them -- that would be rude.
By the way: I once complimented Giant Eagle for its grammatically perfect Express Lane sign: "12 Items or Fewer." The folks there thought I was putting them on and that the sign should read "12 Items or Less."
And don't even get me started about e-mail and texting, the "rules-free lower case flow that is little more than [poor] conversation."

Sometimes I forget how great being on a bike can make you feel. How exhilarating it can be. Like, for example, when you don't ride a bike for two years because you're pregnant (and then too nauseous and then too spacey and then too enormous and keep kneeing yourself in the belly when you try to peddle) and then because your freshly squeezed newborn doesn't do anything but scream when you try to use the bike trailer. I forgot then.
But Pickles doesn't hate the bike trailer anymore. Now she tolerates it for up to two hours at a time. Now it almost always puts her to sleep for a 40 minute nap that she wouldn't have taken at home (which, much to my surprise, seems to be resulting in better and more sleep nights, weird). Glory glory hallelujah, I am no longer a slave to the Deutsche Bahn.
Not that I don't like the Deutsche Bahn. I love the Deutsche Bahn. Public transportation in Germany wins all the awards from me. But it can still be a hassle. And it still costs more money than I'd like to be spending on something I could be doing for free (2.60 a pop, 6.somethingorother for a day pass, 9.80 for a group day pass). Because of the lay of the tracks and the waiting and the walking time, I am actually faster than the train when it comes to going into the city. (A sentence that makes me feel like the bike hulk. Heh.)
Now I go out of my way to find reasons to go for a ride, places to journey out to. Like today, when I was here:
The ride took me to a village to the north of Frankfurt, and the way was almost entirely through fields that looked like this, on paved bike paths where I met the occasional walker, dog, or fellow cyclist. The weather looked mean (it was faking), so only a handful of people had braved the backsides of their doors. And the city lurked off in the background, far away from us.
Judging from the kilometer count, it should have taken me 30-40 minutes to find my way to my friend's apartment this morning. But it turned out that Google maps had invented a path, and I did a lot of backtracking and stopping to check the map. In the end I was almost 2 hours in getting there. But it was a lovely ride.

An unidentified male walked into a Main Street businesses on Dec. 27 in Dobbs Ferry and exposed his penis to a female employee.
According to police, an 18 to 20-year-old male walked into the store around 6:30 p.m. and began speaking to a male and female employee.
The employees said they couldn't understand what the man was saying, as there may have been a language barrier. When the male employee left the shop for a few minutes the suspect exposed himself to the female employee. Police did not find the suspect after searching the area.

General Stanley McChrystal: My Share of the Task: A Memoir
(7/13/2014) Btw, the Pentagon's Inspector General concluded that reporter Michael Hastings, um, misrepresented conversations with officers under McChrystal's command (gee, I didn't see that coming!), and the general is willing to let it go at that. Mrs. McChrystal thought that his retirement was long overdue, anyway. (****)
Daniel C. Dennett: Consciousness Explained
(7/9/2014) Lots of good stuff here, but I'll have to read it again, maybe in a month or so after I've had some time to digest this run through. It seemed that he was being a bit obtuse, perhaps semantically so, on a few points, but ... well, I have to read it again. It's a long one, so I think I'll try something a bit lighter in the mean time.
Yeah, who am I kidding? (****)
Daniel C. Dennett: Intuition Pumps And Other Tools for Thinking
(6/10/2014) (****)
Victor J. Stenger: God: The Failed Hypothesis. How Science Shows That God Does Not Exist
(6/1/2014) Stenger's project is to show that, when fairly and precisely examined as any scientific hypothesis would be (Gould's 'non-overlapping magisteria' be damned), the notion of the Judeo-Christian-Islamic 'God' fails. Stenger succeeds sometimes quite impressively, but frequently succumbs to embarrassing overreach and often presents arguments which only prove his devotion to the conclusion. (E.g., in a bizarre passage accusing Justice Scalia of religious bias, Stenger forgets to refer to anything ever written or said by Scalia on the subject of proper legal interpretation, and also that a devout Roman Catholic, voting his religious beliefs, would have to rule against the death penalty!) The book is thus valuable in places but too deeply flawed to recommend.
Stenger's arguments against divine creation apply across the board, but his argument against providence is specific to this one particular God and His generally agreed attributes, whose existence is thus rendered implausible in the way that an alibi becomes implausible in the face of DNA evidence to the contrary: Not absolutely, but well beyond all reasonable doubt.
But 'reasonable': Aye, there's the rub. (**)
Daniel C. Dennett: Freedom Evolves
(5/29/2014) (****)
Dick Couch: The Finishing School: Earning the Navy SEAL Trident
(5/28/2014) (*****)
Patrick McCray: Elvis Shrugged
(5/6/2014) Home sick today. Light reading only. But funny.
But I have no idea why Sinatra is a bionic Austrian musclehead. (***)
Daniel C. Dennett: Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon
(5/5/2014) Not a long book, so it went by quickly as audio during my commute. (****)
Daniel C. Dennett: Darwin's Dangerous Idea: Evolution and the Meanings of Life
(4/27/2014) (*****)
Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle: Footfall
(4/27/2014) Pournelle & Niven are clever bastards! Very good, but a lame ending. (****)
Fred Hoyle: A for Andromeda
(4/13/2014) I read this through in a single sitting, ending at 3:30 in the morning, so I obviously enjoyed it very much, but there seemed to be a few holes – not just loose threads – at the end. Hmm …. (****)
Kai Bird: American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer
(4/7/2014) The authors' left-wing political biases are remarkably naked here (although I'm not sure that they know that), and I was frequently forced to wonder if the 'facts' presented, e.g., that someone or other 'lied' about or 'covered-up' this or that detail or motivation. The authors' efforts to argue away the clear evidence that Oppenheimer was, in the late 1930s, a member (however 'deviationist' he could be) of the CPUSA, is particularly remarkable. In the end, I'm not entirely sure what I learned about that detail of Oppenheimer's life and what was just BS, so I'm glad that I read the book, and very glad that I am finished. Sigh. (***)
Michael Norman: Tears in the Darkness: The Story of the Bataan Death March and Its Aftermath
(3/26/2014) By the way, MacArthur, the tender-egoed, preening jackass, was significantly responsible for the starved condition of the soldiers at Bataan before they were defeated. But on the plus side, he was a brilliant self-promoter! (*****)
H. G. Wells: The Time Machine
(2/10/2014) (****)
Peter R. Mansoor: Surge: My Journey with General David Petraeus and the Remaking of the Iraq War
(2/10/2014) Mansoor is often almost bizarrely ill-informed about things outside his direct experience (e.g., what, exactly, were Rumsfeld's 'snowflakes', and on Blackwater actions in general), but on matters within his experience this book is fascinating and enlightening. Must read. (****)
Peter Boghossian: A Manual for Creating Atheists

Smacksy Sunday Link: The Timer
We limit the TV watching time for our son Bob to no more than an hour a day. This was cause for some rough negotiations with the guy who "needed" to watch just a few more minutes of The Wiggles/Yo Gabba Gabba/Barney/Teletubbies/Thomas the Tank Engine/Toot and Puddle/Rev. Al Green Performing Live (Tivo'd) on the Grammy's .
After months of tears and pleading (Bob), and threats and whining (me), I tried a new tactic that has been working beautifully. My new BFF: The Timer. When Bob sits down to watch a show, we set our kitchen timer for 20 minutes and when the bell rings, it's time to turn the TV off. For some reason this seems reasonable to Bob and he will alert us that, "It ringed!" and move on to another activity. The 20 minute time frame allows for 2 more TV viewings at other times in the day but mostly, we never get to them.
After employing our new timer method for over a month now, it's still holding up. Since then, we have only had cause to buy one new timer after the old one mysteriously ended up in the toilet.
I'm finding out that the timer idea is nothing new, just new to me. I found this post on www.wellgroundedlife.com. It has some great ideas using the timer for maximizing productivity and staying focused and other things you shouldn't be worrying about until after the weekend.
Happy Sunday.

On an exceptionally warm day a few weeks ago Sean suggested doing something cool for dinner that had avocados and jalepenos. I immediately thought of a great salsa I made back in October for Chicken Tostadas and thought, why not toss with some rotini pasta.
Every night when we sit down to dinner I ask Sean what he thinks of the meal since I know he is going to be completely honest with me. I like to get his opinion because he usually comes up with ways that the dish could be better or in some cases agrees that the dish should not be repeated. Secretyly though I ask him so that I can hear a compliment when the dish is good, it really makes me feel good about my cooking skills.
When dishes don't go well I chalk it up to the recipe and make a mental note to either make some major changes or just not make it again. This dish was different because I had come up with it all by myself. Sure I got the recipe for the original salsa from someone but the idea of adding a few things and tossing it with pasta was mine so I was anxiously awaiting what Sean thought of it.
Well he didn't disappoint and proclaimed, because it really felt like a proclamation to me, that this was one of the best dishes I have made. I was high as a kite after he said that, who would have thought something as simple as some salsa and pasta would be such a hit. I completely agree with him though because it really was the perfect meal for a hot day. It is light and refreshing while still substantial with the pasta. This is definitely a repeat recipe.
Here's to taking a chance and finding a new favourite recipe.
Mango Avocado Salsa
1/2 cup diced peeled mango
1/2 cup diced peeled avocado
1/2 cup chopped tomato
1/3 cup chopped onions
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (I used 1/4 of a cup)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon minced jalapeno pepper
2 cups uncooked rotini pasta
Toss everything with pasta and serve cold.

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — You won't come away with a police badge. And, no, you won't be able to make arrests or stop those nasty drivers who cut you off on city streets, around Grant or Blackburn circles, or on Route 128.
But the Citizens Police Academy being launched by the Gloucester Police Department under new chief Leonard Campanello and Lt. John McCarthy is indeed a worthy project that has been presented in other communities and should accomplish several goals for Gloucester residents and the department alike.
The primary one, of course, is to simply give residents the chance to get a first-hand look at what police work and the city's Police Department are all about. The six-week academy, which begins Feb. 27 and carries into early April, will feature classes and workshops on domestic violence, drug issues, motor vehicle law, patrol procedures, firearms awereness — and then a K-9 unit demonstration, a cruiser ride-along and a tour of Middleton jail.
But, more subtly, the academy should also raise participants' awareness of the need for community policing, and how civilians can better work with the department in neighborhoods across the city to bolster Gloucester's public vigilance and safety.
Applications for the academy are available at the police station, at local businesses, and will also be available online beginning Friday on the department's web page at gloucester-ma.gov.
Let's hope this excellent community outreach project draws the level of interest, participation and support it deserves.

William Arthur Trudeau Sr., 74, of Sandy Hook, died Dec. 24, 2012, at Danbury Hospital, with his wife of 53 years, Barbara Hunihan Trudeau, at his side.
Bill, as he was known, operated the Newtown Amoco gas station for 35 years. He loved going to car and air shows. And watching the planes at local airports was one of his favorite things to do.
Bill is survived by three sons, Bill Jr. and his wife, Heather of Wilton, Brett Trudeau of Sandy Hook, and Don Trudeau of Cranston, R.I.; two brothers, Robert Trudeau of Torrington, and Joe Trudeau of Sandy Hook; two sisters Cynthia Yeates of Brookfield, and Sandra Koch of Middlebury; as well as five grandchildren, Will, Max, Lily, Ella, and Hazelle; and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his parents, Donat and Helen Trudeau; a brother, Richard Trudeau; and a sister, Judy Trudeau, all of Sandy Hook.

The race between Joseph Belesi and Eva Pearson for the District 14 seat of the Nassau Legislature continues into December, with a judge ruling Tuesday for officials to narrow down the ballot challenges.
As of Friday, the election commissioners narrowed down the challenged ballots that the judge must rule on from 114 to 40, and Belesi was ahead by 108 votes. All results are unofficial until representatives appear next before the judge on Dec. 5.
After more than 500 absentee ballots , incumbent Republican Belesi was ahead by 85 votes for the seat. There were 114 ballots challenged during the counting that the judge had to rule on before a winner can be named.
According to Board of Elections Democratic Commissioner William Biamonte, representatives from both parties appeared before New York State Supreme Court Judge Vito DeStefano on Tuesday.
"He directed the council to the two commissioners to try to narrow down the number of the objections that have to come before him," Biamonte said.
That process started Wednesday. The audit of the machines also started Wednesday, a process that needs to be finished before the election is certified, Biamonte added.
Since Election Day, when the race between and ended too close to call, the Board of Elections called back all the voting machines and suitcases and inventoried absentee and affidavit ballots by legislative district. There were 522 absentee ballots and 32 affidavit ballots, the hand signed ballots, for this district. Absentee ballots were accepted until Nov. 15 as long as they were postmarked by Nov. 7.
The outcome of this race may determine which party controls the legislature for the next term. After Election Day, Republicans took an 11-8 majority, with slim leads in the inconclusive 14th and 18th district races.
If Democrats win the two contested seats, they could regain control of the legislature, but if Republicans win these races, their majority will stay 11-8.
The 14th district covers parts of North Massapequa, East Massapequa, Seaford, North Wantagh, Levittown, Old Bethpage, Bethpage, Plainedge, Farmingdale and South Farmingdale.

I wish I had a dream recorder. I'd be rolling in money with all of the movie deals i'd be getting.
Watch the movie 'The Final Cut'.
I loved the movie this came from – "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within."
It was such ahead of its time.

Blackberry's newest handset brings back the hard keyboard -- along with a new and unique wide design.
Pricing not available
The BlackBerry Q10 is a great phone for QWERTY diehards and e-mail addicts, but anyone who doesn't need a physical keyboard should skip it.
BlackBerry lovers who can get past the rookie mistakes will find a polished-looking OS that's packed with interesting and useful features, but happy Android and iOS users won't find a reason to switch.
Pricing not available
The first next-generation BlackBerry will come in multiple variants and pack some decent horsepower, according to Techradar.
The best photos yet have emerged showing off the first BlackBerry 10 phone -- and it looks a lot like the iPhone 5.
Although its 3D deserves praise, overall the Toshiba L9300U is a worse performer and more expensive than its 4K competitors.
Though it's not quite enough to draw committed iPhone or Android owners, the BlackBerry Z10's modern design and features give BlackBerry fans what they've hungered for.
The next generation of BlackBerry is coming in the new year, and already the new phone squaring up to the iPhone 5.
For the first BlackBerry 10 phones, Research in Motion has ditched the keyboard in the new L series, but not the new N series.
LG is bringing the L40 and L70 smartphones to Australia in the first half of this year.

And Denver fans are stoked.
The Texans get their roster down to 53 players, and there is a surprise or two.
18 more Texans have been cut. The team is not yet down to its final 53.
Tania Ganguli and John McClain are reporting that the Texans have already figured out at least two of the players they will be releasing to get down to the 53 man roster max.
Battle Red Blog has an open thread to discuss NFL roster cuts as the 8 p.m. CDT deadline for teams to get down to 53 players looms.
Cuts: T Nick Mondek, DE Jimmy Sadler-McQueen, FB Derrell Smith, G Kasey Studdard (woo hoo!), CB Torri Williams, C Thomas Austin, ILB Omar Gaither, P Brett Hartmann, WR Bryant Johnson, WR Mario Louis, RB Davin Meggett.

With all eight counties in state Senate District 11 reporting voter numbers Tuesday night, candidates from Thomas and Decatur counties are headed for a February runoff.
Mike Keown, a Coolidge Republican, had 37.37 percent of the vote, to 42.59 percent for Dr. Dean Burke, a Bainbridge Republican.
Trailing the two top vote-getters were Republicans Marshall Berman, Brad Hughes and Eugene McNease and Libertarian candidate Jeffrey Bivins.
Burke said Tuesday night his campaign has worked hard in the short amount of time available.
John Bulloch, a Thomas County Republican and longtime District 11 senator, resigned in December. A qualifying period and election date were called immediately.
Burke said his campaign momentum will continue. "I don't see why it won't," he explained.
He said he did not consider it a strategic move to campaign hard in Thomas County, which had three candidates in the race, and in Grady County, Bivins' home.
He now will attempt to increase his support by making more contacts in the two counties.
Keown could not be reached for comment Tuesday night.
In Thomas County, final election results are:
• Berman — 67
• Bivins — 159
• Burke — 526
• Hughes — 79
• Keown — 1,758
• McNease — 296
The vote count in Grady County:
• Berman — 11
• Bivins — 228
• Burke — 475
• Hughes — 38
• Keown — 1,119
• McNease — 41
The runoff is Tuesday, Feb. 5.

The coincidence was uncanny: Blind bidding on the amnesty waiver wire, several teams with a chance to claim Chauncey Billups, and somehow the Los Angeles Clippers made the highest offer. All these years owner Donald Sterling was the bane of the commissioner's existence, and now David Stern needed him in the worst way. All the times Stern let the creep slide on professional and personal indiscretions, the NBA knew the Clippers were the final, most legitimate suitor still standing to bail the league out of its own self-created Chris Paul debacle... WojnarowskiBillips waiver process could have been a sham Could the Knicks possibly get that amnesty waiver back? Could the Knicks, Lakers and Houston have grounds to challenge in court?

The risk for breast and ovarian cancer is increased with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), a rare early-onset autosomal dominant disorder, associated with specific physical characteristics in addition to increased cancer risks. The features associated with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome may include the following:
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is caused by mutations in a gene on chromosome 19 known as STK11. Mutations in STK11 are identified in about 50 percent of familial cases. Almost all people with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome will be diagnosed with one or more of the associated cancers in their lifetime.
The STK11 gene is a tumor suppressor gene, which usually controls cell growth and cell death. Both copies of a tumor suppressor gene must be altered, or mutated, before a person will develop cancer. With Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, the first mutation is inherited from either the mother or the father and is therefore present in all cells of the body. This is called a germline mutation. Whether a person who has a germline mutation will develop cancer and where the cancer(s) will develop depends upon where (which cell type) the second mutation occurs. For example, if the second mutation is in the breast, then breast cancer may develop. If it is in the colon, then colon cancer may develop. The process of tumor development actually requires mutations in multiple growth control genes. Loss of both copies of STK11 is just the first step in the process. What causes these additional mutations is unknown. Possible causes include chemical, physical, or biological environmental exposures or chance errors in cell replication.
Some individuals who have inherited a germline STK11 mutation never develop cancer because they never get the second mutation necessary to knock out the function of the gene and to start the process of tumor formation. This can make the cancer appear to skip generations in a family, when, in reality, the mutation is present. Persons with a mutation, regardless of whether they develop cancer, however, have a 50/50 chance to pass the mutation on to the next generation.
It is also important to remember that the STK11 gene is not located on the sex chromosomes. Therefore, mutations can be inherited from the mother or the father's side of the family.
