Experiments with Linux and Related Technologies
Sunday, 20 July 2014
vrms (Virtual Richard M. Stallman)
I was intrigued by the sound of the vrms (Virtual Richard M. Stallman) program when I was surfing the web. It analyses the packages you have installed on your Linux machine and reports all of those that are non free. Originally developed for Debian you can get it on Arch from the AUR. If you use 'packer' you can simple install with :
$ packer -S vrms-arch
The program when run enumerates non-free packages which officially is "under licenses not considered by OSI, FSF, and/or the DFSG to be Free Software".
More info on the license categorization is found via
$ vi /usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/vrms_arch/license_finder.py
List non-free packages and count 'ambiguously licensed packages that vrms cannot certify.'
$ vrms
Check all packages in locally synced package repositories (does not and cannot include the AUR), not just locally installed packages:
$ vrms -g
The caveats with this method in Arch are because many packages in Arch, both free and non-free, use custom as the license field value. This means that it does not use an exact copy of one of the licences includes in the core licences packages which you can view under :
$ ls /usr/share/licenses/common/
Some common licenses like BSD and MIT are not included in the common licenses packages as they require to be edited for a specific project.
Desite these cavets I found it a useful tool to run on my various Arch systems!
Vim Awesome a great way to find vim plugins
Vim is a great text editor with many plugins that have been developed over the years and continue to be developed. One issue I have found is that its difficult to keep track of plugins. Fortunately there is now a great site called vimawesome.com that makes it easy. The data comes from GitHub, Vim.org and user submissions.
The entries are categorised on the site so you can find plugins in areas you are interested in.
The site also displays the star rating from GitHub as well as the number of GitHub users so you can get a good idea of how well used and thought of the plugin is.

Combine bash history across multiple terminals
I use tmux (and many people also use screen) for multiple terminals. On slight down side is that by default the history command does not remember the commands between sessions on the same server. After some research and experimenting I found the following works really well in my .bashrc :
export HISTFILE=~/.bash_history
export HISTFILESIZE=500000
export HISTSIZE=500000
export HISTCONTROL=ignoredups:erasedups
shopt -s histappend
unset PROMPT_COMMAND
export PROMPT_COMMAND="history -n;history -w;history -c;history -r;$PROMPT_COMMAND"
Using 'Ctrl + R' will have the previous entries.
Note - if you are on session A run a command and move to session B you must either just press enter or another command before the entry in session A appears
Here is each line with some comments
- Define where the history file is saved
- How many commands to save in the HISTFILE
- How many commands to save in the current session
- Do not save duplicate commands and erase any previous duplicates
- How the history list is written to the HISTFILE. The '-s' option sets the option to append the history list of the current session to HISTFILE
- Clear current value of PROMPT_COMMAND
- Contents of PROMPT_COMMAND are run just before Bash displays a prompt. This will save and reload the history after every command
- -n : Append the new history lines
- -w : Write history which will cause 'erasedups' to occur
- -c : Clear the history list
- -r : read the current history file
Hope you find this as useful as I have :)

Ubuntu/Arch Linux : USB Error Input/output error NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault
It can be quite common to use a USB drive on your Linux box and then have to copy file to a Windows computer. When you reconnect the USB drive to your Linux box you may get a similar Error to the following :
Failed to mount '/dev/sdd1?: Input/output error NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's softRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot into Windows twice.
This can seem a bit daunting but thankfully the solution is quick by installing 'ntfsprogs'. ntfsprogs is a suite of NTFS utilities based around a shared library.
$ pacman -S ntfsprogs
$ sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs
Then run the command (note : change the drive to match the same as you get with the error) :
$ sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdd1
See the man file for full details.
$ man ntfsprogs

Reasons not to kill -9 a process in Linux
Its something that is very common and we have all done it in our time. You have a process that is not running the way you want it or maybe it has hung. The solution seems obvious :
$ kill -9 <pid>
I had been told in the past this was a bad idea but why is this not good. There are a few reasons I have found out. When you just kill -9 a process it will not :
- Let its children know that it no longer exists
- Will not shut down its socket connections
- Temp files will not be cleaned up
In general kill -9 should only be used as a last resort as you could at some point end up corrupting an important program e.g. a database.
The recommend procedure to use is :
$ kill -15 <pid>
This allows the target process to try and clean up after itself. If that does not work in order :
$ kill -2 <pid>
$ kill -2 <pid>
And finally ;
$ kill -9 <pid>
Like anything it just takes a bit of getting used to and after 6 months on following this I believe this is a good personal practise to follow.
You can get a full list of the signals with :
$ kill -l

Firefox Aurora & Chrome Dev for Linux Mint : Preview upcoming features
I have been wanting to have the most up to date browsers for Linux Mint as its great to be able to see the cutting edge features before they are fully deployed.
This post shows how you can quickly setup Firefox Aurora and Chrome Dev builds on Linux Mint (will also work on Ubuntu as well).
Note : you cannot also run the Stable versions of Firefox & Chrome and the same time so they will be replaced.
Firefox Aurora
First update the repository from Mozilla to Aurora :
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/firefox-aurora
Then update the repositories and install Firefox :
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install firefox
Restart Firefox and you will now have the Aurora version. The Sotware Manager also recognized the change and updated to Aurora. All the bookmarks, settings etc will be the same as the stable Firefox version.
Chrome Dev Channel
The slight difference with Chrome is that you need to remove the installed package. First go to the Chrome Release Channels and download the Dev Channel unstable build for you OS architecture.
Next remove the current Chrome stable build :
$ sudo dpkg -r google-chrome-stable
Install the downloaded build :
$ sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-unstable_current_amd64.deb
Startup Chrome and enjoy being on the Dev channel builds!
Setup latest NVIDIA Drivers for Ubuntu or Linux Mint
- If you need to install NVIDIA Driver's on either Ubuntu or Linux Mint the following three commands will update your system with the latest available drivers
$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings
- Reboot your system and the drivers should be applied
- For more detailed configuration open the 'NVIDIA X Server Settings Applet'

Home » Lita » Merchandise
Real Name
Amy Dumas
Date of Birth
April 14, 1975
Place of Birth
Fans at WWE live events have noticed that the company has been greatly reducing the price on Daniel Bryan merchandise over the last couple of weeks. That has led to some speculation about the future of the former world heavyweight champion, who has been out of action because of a severe neck injury. The belief is that management is simply trying to clear out the merchandise, and that it has no bearing on what will happen with Bryan.
November 20, 2014
Since it has been heavily rumored for months now and the seeds are clearly visible on Monday Night Raw, the Randy Orton baby face turn is taking place very soon. The former world heavyweight champion, however, is said to not be extremely happy about the switch. Orton has long felt more comfortable portraying a heel. He is said to be willing to go through with the turn, if it increased his chances of moving up the ladder and moving more merchandise.
October 31, 2014
There is some development in the bitter feud between WWE and CM Punk, it seems. When the former world heavyweight champion had his lawyers send a 22 page letter to the company about royalties, management responded by removing most of his products from their online store. Something might have changed backstage, as WWE is selling Punk merchandise again.
October 27, 2014
Rumors have long been floating around that there is some professional resentment from Randy Orton towards John Cena because he feels that WWE shows preferential treatment towards Cena. His recent comments on Twitter appear to confirm the speculations. Orton told fans that management only produces new merchandise for him after they make room for the Cena stuff.
October 26, 2014
If you're a big fan of Roman Reigns and want to see WWE continue to push him, then there's some really good news from the merchandise department. His products are the second best selling ones at live events across the country. Management uses that as a big gauge for who they continue to push. John Cena remains the leading seller by a landslide, however.
October 9, 2014
Some heavy speculations have arisen this week on the possible return of Steve Austin to WWE. Reports have surfaced that management has informed manufacturers to go heavy on products related to Stone Cold and informed distributors to prepare for a boost in merchandise coming through. No word yet on what Austin will be doing when he comes back, but there is a chance that it could just be a brief appearance.
September 26, 2014
Last week, CM Punk had his lawyers send a 22 page letter to WWE regarding his royalty payments, and it appears that the company is responding by quickly removing his merchandise from their online store and at live events. The belief is that management does not want to keep paying Punk money, but at the same time, they already spent money on creating the merchandise.
September 9, 2014
When the company moved CM Punk from their official roster to the alumni section yesterday, WWE created a bit of a stir. Things escalated even further when management removed his merchandise from the WWE Shop website. Apparently, there was some miscommunication within the company on the matter. All of his merchandise have been returned to the online store.
July 17, 2014
Long known as one of the most famous wrestlers in all of Japan, Masahiro Chono has signed a new deal with WWE. However, the contract is not for him to become an in ring performer for the company. Chono and WWE have an agreement that enables the international star to sell nWo related merchandise in Japan. Chono was a part of the stable and feels that now is a good time to bring the items back to the overseas market.
July 10, 2014
Earlier in this week, Zack Ryder revealed to fans that WWE is no longer selling his merchandise. The belief is that it is a part of the company's plan to diminish his name value for when they decide to release him from his contract. Since the start of the year, Ryder has only been utilized eight times on television, all of which were losses. He hasn't had a victory on Monday Night Raw or Smackdown since December of 2012, when he pinned David Otunga on Raw.
July 5, 2014
A status update on Twitter from Zack Ryder, informing fans that WWE is no longer selling any of his merchandise. Rumors have been circulating that the company wants to downplay his popularity, and this revelation lends credibility to those speculations. The fact that Ryder actually pointed it out in public is a sign that he could be really frustrated with his situation in WWE.
July 1, 2014
In a really interesting move, WWE is looking to hire a body double for Sting, so that they can film some sort of stunt for the upcoming DVD about the legendary WCW star. While many fans are clamoring for Sting to finally make his debut in WWE, the belief is that the two sides have only come to an agreement on a contract to produce content and merchandise.
June 9, 2014
Last month, it was revealed that Rey Mysterio had his contract extended another year by WWE because he had missed so much time over the last twelve months. It was a move done by Vince McMahon to keep one of his top merchandise guys around. Rumors coming out now are that Mysterio is not too pleased with that, as he wanted to leave WWE once his contract expired. There are talks that a legal battle could ensue.
June 5, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that Sting will be included in the upcoming WWE 2K15 video game, which is scheduled to be released in October. Speculations arose recently because Sting appears to be on the verge of signing a legends contract with the company, which would enable WWE to use his likeness on merchandise. The belief is that Sting will be a bonus to those that order early.
June 5, 2014
"It's hard if you're quantifying raw numbers to say anyone was more popular at their zenith than Stone Cold Steve Austin. No one sold more merchandise, tickets or pay per view than Steve. The thing with Junkyard Dog was that he was the first African American number one baby face in a major territory. For black fans especially, he was such a groundbreaking force. There was a unique emotional relationship that JYD had with his audience. He gave a whole race their guy." - Jim Ross describes Junkyard Dog and his place in wrestling history
May 9, 2014
While neither side has confirmed anything, rumors are that WWE and Rey Mysterio have been in contract negotiations to see if the masked wrestler can continue his career with the company for a couple of more years. The belief is that WWE has some leverage this time around because Mysterio merchandise is not moving as well as it has in the past.
May 8, 2014
Now that his week long triple to Hawaii with his family is over, Rey Mysterio is looking to get back to work. The former world heavyweight champion revealed to fans that he was heading to Stamford to meet with WWE officials. The belief is that the two sides are going to negotiate a new contract, so that Mysterio, still one of the top merchandise movers on the roster, can continue his career with the company.
April 30, 2014
While a lot of speculation and rumors have been floating around that he has signed the contract offer with the company because he made some appearances recently to discuss the life of the Ultimate Warrior, Sting still has yet to sign a deal with WWE to become an on screen character. He might have signed a minor deal for merchandise and DVD, however.
April 29, 2014
It appears that the social media experiment for Terry Funk has come to an end, as the legendary NWA star has been quiet for almost half a year now. Funk was pretty active with his status updates back in September, where he promoted some merchandise. He was silent until posting something about WWE in December. No status updates since then.
April 29, 2014
With CM Punk not being on television for a couple of months now, his merchandise sales have been slumping a bit. That has enabled Daniel Bryan to move to the second spot on the list of WWE stars who move the most units. Management wants to try to close the gap between Bryan and John Cena, who sits at the top spot by a considerable margin.
April 24, 2014
Since the company has already given the honors to Lita and Trish Stratus, two of the more known WWE Divas over the last two decades, management is said to be looking for another female performer to induct into the hall of fame at Wrestlemania 31. A name being tossed around right now is Mickie James, who is currently pregnant but should be available by next spring.
May 14, 2014
"It was great. I was watching Monday Night Raw when they first announced it and I was glad to see that. I'm very proud of her. Anytime you're inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, it's quite the honor." - Jeff Hardy sharing his thoughts on Lita being inducted at Wrestlemania 30
April 26, 2014

April 22, 2014
Since they really are best friends in real life, Trish Stratus and Lita have decided to capitalize on that relationship by doing a tour together. The former WWE divas will be hitting up various locations across the country to meet with fans and sign autographs. Aside from generating an income, the two of them will get a chance to spend some time together on the road as well.
April 16, 2014
Since Lita and Mr T went especially long in their segments, it was very obvious to many that Scott Hall had to rush through his hall of fame induction speech. WWE officials were very concerned backstage at the event, and they informed Hall of the situation. That was the reason why Kevin Nash made his joke onstage about having to rush through things.
April 5, 2014
Some heavy editing will be required by WWE to trim down the hall of fame induction speech that Lita gave. The longtime diva told quite a few stories and went well past the thirty minute mark. WWE might simply choose the punchlines in the stories and show the segment where she gave two beers to Arn Anderson on a bet that she lost years ago.
April 5, 2014
Every year, a couple of people within WWE are forced to miss the hall of fame induction ceremony because the company needs to keep the Axxess shows going. This year, Hornswoggle is going to be one of those people. He will be manning a booth while Jake Roberts, Ultimate Warrior, Scott Hall, Lita, Carlos Colon, Paul Bearer and Mr T are inducted.
April 5, 2014

April 3, 2014
While it was heavily speculated at the beginning due to the connection between the two, it has now been confirmed by Lita through her Twitter account that Trish Stratus will be the one to give her hall of fame induction speech at Wrestlemania 30. WWE opted to go with the obvious choice this time around because of their relationship with Trish.
March 25, 2014
Rumors are floating around that there are some wardrobe malfunction pics of Lita floating around the internet. It turns out that the source of those rumors is Dhantenan, a foreign website that has jokes, wallpapers and screen savers. They are luring in WWE fans with the promise of semi nude pictures, but there is really nothing there.
March 21, 2014
Since the company has not officially announced who will induct Lita into the WWE Hall of Fame at Wrestlemania 30 yet, there are still some speculations going around. Right now, the top candidate is still Trish Stratus, who will actually be in New Orleans that weekend, doing some promotional work for the company.
March 20, 2014
"I admire her so much. She really helped me out when I was nobody. I credit her with a lot of my success. She's definitely one of the most overlooked women in the last decade. She wasn't like anybody else. She let people know that it's OK to just be yourself. She totally deserves it, and I couldn't be happier for her." - Mickie James explains why she wants to attend the hall of fame induction of Lita
March 16, 2014
While the heavily speculated hall of fame induction has yet to be announced by WWE, Sean Waltman has been telling fans as of late that he would be at Wrestlemania 30 to induct his good friend Scott Hall. The company is still trying to decide on his inclusion, as the class already includes Jake Roberts, Ultimate Warrior, Lita and Paul Bearer.
March 7, 2014
Through Twitter, Tyson Kidd posted this special congratulatory message to Lita for her upcoming induction into the WWE hall of fame.
February 16, 2014
Despite already signing Ultimate Warrior, Jake Roberts and Lita, Vince McMahon still wants the WWE hall of fame induction ceremony at Wrestlemania 30 to be even more star studded. There are talks going around that Scott Hall will be announced as part of this year's class on Monday Night Raw this week.
February 15, 2014
To congratulate her good friend for being announced as an inductee in the upcoming hall of fame ceremony at Wrestlemania 30, Lilian Garcia posted this picture of herself with Lita and a special message on Twitter.
February 15, 2014
"I was out there with Edge and Randy. It was a 2 segment match and at some point during the match Randy rolls out of the ring. I go over to him and check on him and he proceeds to tell me that his shoulder is out and he can�t get it back in or move it. So, I tell him to stand up against the ring post, he holds on to his dangling arm, and I shoved his shoulder up against the ring post, heard a click, and it went back in. I told him he was all set and to get back in there and help my dude. His reaction was half hot and half relieved and half still not even clear as to what was going on (I was never good at fractions)." - Lita on helping Randy Orton through an injury
February 14, 2014
On Twitter, Jake Roberts posted this special message to congratulate Lita on joining him in the hall of fame at Wrestlemania 30 this year. The legendary WWE star even included a little joke about the two of them as well.
February 13, 2014

February 12, 2014
Since he played a key part in her career, Dory Funk Jr takes a lot of pride in the fact that Lita will be inducted into the hall of fame during Wrestlemania 30, joining himself and his brother Terry Funk. The legendary former NWA star praised his trainee for the dedication she shown, despite being the only girl in his first class.

Longview, TX — From an overemphasis on state-mandated testing to inadequate funding, East Texas educators and business leaders came to the consensus Tuesday that it is time for changes to the public education system in Texas.
"We need to make a fundamental decision — what does it take to educate a child?" New Diana ISD Superintendent Joyce Sloan said. "We cannot assume it will take any more or any less in Spring Hill or Longview than it will in New Diana. We need equity."
Sloan was among the dozens of superintendents, school board members, administrators, principals, teachers, state officials, Longview city officials, business leaders and others in the community who on Tuesday attended the Longview Economic Development Corp's public education conference.

Eat Your Veggies: Indirect Anti-Oxidants Provide Long-Term Protection
A cancer-preventing compound in broccoli, first isolated a decade ago at Hopkins, may prove to protect against a much broader spectrum of diseases. A new study shows that the compound, sulforaphane, helps cells defend themselves for days against highly reactive and toxic molecules called oxidants.
Unlike standard anti-oxidants that use the molecular equivalent of hand-to-hand combat, broccoli's compound is a covert operative that works indirectly. Oxidants are like molecular hit men, damaging DNA and killing cells, eventually leading to cancer, retinal degeneration, atherosclerosis and other conditions unless they are neutralized.
It turns out that sulforaphane's anti-cancer properties and its indirect anti-oxidant effects are both due to its ability to make cells create a diverse group of enzymes, called "phase 2" enzymes, that protect against cancer by blocking select chemicals from becoming carcinogens. Not previously considered oxidant fighters, the enzymes have the ability to detoxify oxidants, which increases their value in disease prevention, says Talalay.
"Our work with sulforaphane has focused on cancer, but now it assumes wider significance for human disease because the compound also helps prevent oxidative damage," says Paul Talalay, M.D., J.J. Abel Distinguished Service Professor of Pharmacology. "The finding that a compound from the diet can provide powerful, chemically versatile and prolonged protection against oxidative stress may particularly impact human retinal disease."
Studying a variety of cell types and oxidants in laboratory experiments, the scientists discovered that sulforaphane triggers a cellular response that protects cells against oxidants for two or three days, according to a report of the work in a recent issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"There are many dangers to cells, and it makes sense that cells have protection against these dangers, which include oxidants," says Talalay, who has investigated the link between diet and disease for more than two decades. "Elevating these intrinsic protection mechanisms by administering a wide variety of chemicals, many of which are in the diet already, can be an effective way to prevent disease."
It's now widely recognized that diet influences the risk of diseases including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and stroke. Anti-oxidants have been one of the most promising dietary strategies for preventing disease, particularly as oxidative damage is linked to more conditions, from cancer to blindness.
As long ago as 1952, blindness resulting from damage to the retina -- the part of the eye that detects and sends images to the brain -- was linked to attacks by oxidants. Recent evidence suggests that dietary anti-oxidants can help prevent or reduce damage to retinal cells. As a result, Talalay had wondered if sulforaphane might have similar benefits.
In the scientists' experiments, three different cell types were tested, including cancer cells and cells from the retina. When the cells were treated briefly with sulforaphane before exposure to an oxidant, all cell types defended themselves against damage. The extent of protection was tied to the amount of sulforaphane as well as the type of oxidant and its amount.
"This adds to already good evidence that eating large quantities of vegetables -- and cruciferous ones play a special role -- is one thing that really works to fight disease," says Talalay.
First isolated from broccoli, sulforaphane is especially concentrated in three-day-old broccoli sprouts and belongs to a class of molecules called isothiocyanates. Talalay, his colleagues and Johns Hopkins hold patents related to the sulforaphane and broccoli sprout research. In 1998, Talalay, in cooperation with Johns Hopkins University, formed Brassica Protection Products LLC, a Baltimore firm that commissions the growth, harvest and marketing of broccoli sprouts with tested and guaranteed levels of sulforaphane. The terms of this arrangement are being managed by the University in accordance with its conflict of interest policies.
Co-authors on the report are research associates Xiangqun Gao, Ph.D., and Albena Dinkova-Kostova, Ph.D., of the Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Cancer Chemoprotection Center and department of pharmacology and molecular sciences at Johns Hopkins.

This was undertaken as part of the Safeguarding Heritage and Rural Economies (SHARE) project which aims amongst other things to increase the use of and improve the management of volunteers to care for areas of importance. The team enjoyed 3 days working at Huis Severnaer, a small estate being managed along strict sustainability and organic principles and Castle Middachten, a stunning private family home to rival any National Trust property and which is open to the public. The message was very much about the Trusts approach to volunteer work and the many levels and types of role which volunteers take on with us. In return we were very welled cared for and mixed with some fantastic volunteers from Holland, France and Myrthr Tydfil, learnt some new work techinques and saw how other countries do things. On Wednesday we attended a symposium at Klarenbeek about the SHARE project, which enabled our volunteers to talk to people at all levels throughout Dutch society and really drive home what volunteering for the National Trust is all about.
Natural England's Yarner wood ponies have returned for another year and without these symbols of Dartmoor I'd be permanently strapped to a brushcutter during the winter months. In order to help deliver our Higher Level Stewardship targets for out wet meadows we have been borrowing a herd of Dartmoor ponies for a couple of years now.
Common ragwort (Senecio jacobaea), has a very poor image listed as an injurious weed it is poisonous and although it is not illegal to have it growing on your land it is illegal to allow it to spread to agricultural land, particularly grazing areas or land which is used to produce fodder.
Unfortunately a lot of people see ragwort and pull it up wherever it is even when there is no chance if it reaching farmers' fields this is a shame as ragwort has significant conservation benefits.
Have you ever wanted to have a go at rock climbing? The National Trust has teamed up with Spirit of Adventure, an outdoor adventure activity provider, to give you the opportunity to try out rock climbing at one of Dartmoor's natural beauty spots.
The rock adventure day takes place at the Dewerstone, near Shaugh Prior on Dartmoor; a perfect place for climbing, scrambling and the thrill of abseiling. It's a fantastic way to enjoy a day out with friends or family as well as seeing some amazing scenery along the way.
The session takes place on Tuesday 12 August, 10am–4pm. You will receive expert instruction from qualified instructors throughout the day and will have the opportunity to move on to more challenging sections if you are able. All the necessary equipment is provided.
The day costs £30 per adult and £20 per child (under 18; minimum age is 8 years). Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult who need not climb. Please bring a packed lunch, wear trainers, long trousers and sleeves.
For more information and to book your place please contact Spirit of Adventure on 01822 880277.
If you were in Parke on Friday night you may have seen lights climbing into the night sky, you may have heard the collective murmurings of a few members of the Devon moth group as they identified different moth species and if you were around at about 12.30am you may have heard a collective gasp.
Recently on Parke estate the Devon Rural Skills Trust came along to a small coppice area that we work in partnership to learn how to make traditional gate hurdles.
These hurdles would once have been made in their thousand to be used on farms to manage their sheep, make up runs, shearing areas, and folds for lambing. Now they have been replaced by metal hurdles much stronger and long lasting but having a far higher carbon footprint and less character.
The hurdle would have been made of ash, sometimes sweet chestnut or oak split or 'cleft' down t0 the required size with wedges and a 'froe' then shaped using an axe and draw knife. Mortise and Tenon joints formed simply with a brace and bit and a chisel or a 'twybil' (a very old tool specially designed for green wood tenons) in the uprights formed the structure held together with a few nails. The hurdle would have been 6ft long by 3ft high with between 5 and 7 rails, more rails were needed near the bottom if used with small lambs.
However things must adapt to survive and the traditional hurdle has undergone a bit of a metamorphosis. The basic hurdle pattern can be adapted to different situations. They are great in the garden, made smaller they can hold back herbaceous plants from paths. Stop the children falling over walls or prevent their football hitting the roses. With a bit more imagination they can be formed into garden gates with cleft hazel infill. Or made really big and provide a structure for rambling roses or clematis.
Made from ash they are light and easy to move round, weather in nicely and last for some years, made from oak or sweet chestnut they are a bit heavier and last for many years especially if stored out of the weather in the winter.
Best of all they have that lovely rustic look that blends beautifully into the garden and the countryside.
Quite a few green woodworkers make them now. You can learn how to make them through the Devon Rural Skills Trust or come and see them being made at the Castle Drogo Edwardian Country fair on the 20-21st September.
Nature conservation this isn't, but for those of you more familiar to Parke there may be a sight missing from your day. Often seen basking in a warm spot on the estate, stalking squirrels or standing up to visiting dogs, of any size, "Bruce" was a force to be reckoned with. Continue reading…
To celebrate the purchase of Fingle Woods by the Woodland Trust and the National Trust we are holding an event at the woods this Friday – the Fingle Festival.

Victim's daughter arrested in domestic dispute
Updated On: Nov 11 2013 02:28:43 PM EST
The daughter who's been named a person of interest in her mother's killing earlier this year has been arrested in a domestic dispute.
Lilly Chavez and her fiance Leighton Dockery are both charged with domestic battery after an incident early Sunday morning at their home in Elkton, according to the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office.
According to an arrest report, the two got into an argument after Dockery discovered Chavez was packing his belongings. They threw water at each other, and she hit him in the back of the head with a statue, deputies said.
They said Dockery pushed Chavez onto the floor and kicked her.
Dockery is also charged with battery for assaulting a second, unnamed person in the house who tried to break it up, deputies said.
Chavez is a person of interest in the death of Barbara Parchem.
Parchem, 67, disappeared on April 6 from her home. Her body was found weeks later in a wooded area in St. Johns County.

What do you use your dehydrator for?
Hello -
My wife is keen to get a dehydator for herbs. I was wondering if anyone else had one of these, and what you use it for. I like the idea of having fresh herbs all year round, but not quite sure that justifies $60 and some counter space. Any thoughts?
I use mine anytime I have more of something fresh than I can use.
Lately I've been drying figs and cherry tomatoes. I can seldom use an entire head(?) of celery, so I always dice half of it and dehydrate. It gives a nice intense celery flavor to soups and stews.
I found it very useful when I was a member of a CSA - there was just way more food than we could go through in a week.
Much of the year my dehydrator is stored away, But during the summer it stays out and in use quite a bit.
I used to have a friend who used hers to make fruit leathers for her kids lunchboxes. She also had a beef jerky recipe which called for ground beef. So many of her husbands co-workers wanted it that she ended up with a modest little side business making it for them! (I don't think I ever got that recipe from her.)
re: meatn3
meatn3 get on that beef jerkey recipe!
re: madonna
I last saw her in '88. Can't promise anything...might have to join myface (as they say on OLTL) after all just to track her down!
Food dehydrator is on my wishlist. I am in Israel right now and they are so expensive here. $60 is cheap in comparison. I think they start around $150 or so and probably not even great ones. A friend of makes her own vegetable bouillon soup powder and it is like magic soup powder. Most of those soup powders have MSG, oils, sugars, and lots of other unhealthy things but things that make it taste good so I was very skeptical. Her soup powder is just as good and even better. She dehydrates a huge variety of vegetables and then pulses it in the food processor. She uses some vegetables that I would not even think of putting in a soup powder but somehow it just really tastes amazing.
I'm with Meatn3 in that mine is stored most of the year but has been working hard this summer. (Will try to remember your suggestion about the celery!) To go along with it I bought a FoodSaver at a good discount and love it so far.
Dried tomatoes--either completely dry for cupboard storage or akin to sun-dried tomatoes from the store which will keep a little while in the refrigerator or for a long while frozen. Used some in place of store-bought this past weekend and the flavor was great! Works for cherry or sliced regular tomatoes. Dried 4 ears of sweet corn and now it's in a pint jar waiting for corn chowder this winter. Dried hot peppers or sweet peppers. They won't have the same consistency as fresh when you rehydrate them but I'm thinking they will be fabulous in soup , chili and the like. And around here you can buy a half-bushel for 60 cents a pound--much cheaper than the grocery store and they are local and organic!
Beef jerky
Habanero peppers
Sliced mushroms, (Costco...grrrrrrr)
Herbs, (mostly cilantro, parsley and bay leaves)
In addition to tomatoes, herbs and veggies for soups, its great for kale chips and beef jerky.
This is the jerky recipe I use:
1/4 cup soy sauce
2T worcestershire sauce
2T liquid smoke
2-3T brown sugar
1-2t. ground black pepper (or more!)
1t unseasoned meat tenderizer
1t garlic powder (not garlic salt)
1t onion powder
1t paprika
mix together and pour over meat, marinade at least 8 hours (overnight works great.)
The time in the dehydrator depends on how thick you cut the meat. I start checking it at 5 hours and pull the pieces out as they are ready but your dehydrator might be hotter/ cooler so keep an eye on it until you get the times you like down.
re: weezieduzzit
Sorry to dense, but how much meat? How do you slice it?
re: weezieduzzit
What cut of meat do you use?
re: jacquelyncoffey
Honestly, I don't know how much meat. If whatever I've bought doesn't look like it has enough marinade I make more marinade. I've used any big hunk of meat that's on sale from london broil to roasts. I marinate at least overnight so I've never had any cut of meat not be tender.
I slice it with a meat slicer but if you don't have one, you can partially freeze it and slice- carefully- with a large serrated knife. Thickness is a preference thing keeping in mind it gets thinner as it dehydrates and thicker slices take longer to dehydrate. Slice with the grain so it doesn't fall apart.
re: weezieduzzit
Ask the butcher to do it, just tell them the thickness and you'll get your London Broil back all nicely sliced...
I make homemade yogurt in mine. Works perfectly for holding that low temperature for hours on end.
I am currently using an Excalibur (it is my friends but I use it as much as he does) to dehydrate watermelon-it takes 18-40 hours depending on the pieces. It comes out like candy!! Earlier I dried strawberries and blended them into powder for strawberry shakes or for cereal topping- drying mint, herbs the usuals too- it does tend to get used most when the garden bounty comes in and I don't want to heat up the kitchen canning and my freezer is already full of corn etc... If you are thinking of buying a more expensive model I would suggest paying the extra for the model with the timer. Dehydrating things is nice because a watermelon shrunk down to a ziplock bag (small) and does not take up pantry space like canned goods and dried foods are not subject to power failures like frozen foods so in addition to being tasty it can be good for camping and emergency needs.
oh I'm stalking this thread, I got rid of old crappy dehydrator but am itching for an excuse to replace it with an Excalibur. I haven't made jerky in years, but my hubby loves it.
Hi Westy - In hindsight, I should have ordered a nicer model, instead of buying the cheap version locally. My dehydrator doesn't have a fan. It would be so much better with a fan, and I'd use it more. Something to think about.
That said, one of my favorite things has been dehydrating mandarin orange slices (when they're cheap and in season). Good organic whole slices grind up into a really nice flavor pop. I've used the powder in everything from cookies to a rub on a whole chicken.
I toss apple wedges in drink mix crystals and then dehydrate.
Once they are spongy dry enough for me I seal them in Food saver bags.
My cheapo Nesco makes a lot of ground beef jerky. I never even cared for the sliced meat jerky because chewing that fatty connective tissue stuff always turns me off.
But ground beef jerky--now that's a whole nuther animal!
I just mix extra lean ground beef with salt, onion powder, chili and a little cayenne and roll it thin between layers of parchment paper. Dehyrate until it is sturdy enough to be cut into smaller strips and finish dehydrating.
I use extra lean ground beef only because all the extra fat is going to melt out of it anyway.
I don't have a recipe. I just go by taste. Yes I like raw ground beef.
And for jerky, it can take more cayenne than I would put in any other ground beef dish.

I have a Dell PowerEdge 2970. Currently it runs as a ESXi server with a handful of VM's on it. I have 3 300GB drives plugged in to it, and 5 open trays across the front. It is setup as a hardware Raid5 from the factory. My question is if I start running low on disc space, can I just add on by pushing another hard drive into a empty slot, or will I need to back everything up and rebuild the array? If I can't just plug in another hard drive, would it be better to add 3 more drives, and build a second Raid5 to avoid losing any data that I have
I couldn't disagree with joeqwerty more to be honest. You don't mention which controller you have but all of the PERC 5 and 6 cards can perform live array expansion, although I'd be strongly tempted to fully backup your volume first. This way your new drive/s will become part of the R5 array and so will be able to survive a single disk failure. If you simply add another extent then in the event of losing a disk you stand a good chance of losing the whole VMFS datastore (the risk lessening if you're on ESX/i v4), plus expanding the array to 6 drives gives you 300GB more space than two 3 drive arrays.
The simplest thing to do might be to create a new RAID5 array and add it to the VM datastore as a new extent.
To anyone else looking at this:
On the older PERC 5 cards you could just pop the drives in and run a reconstruction in the RAID BIOS to add capacity or do a Raid Level Migration (RLM)
On the PERC 6 you'll need to install the Open Manage Server Administrator. It takes a few extra steps when installing on ESXi, but it's worth it. You can expand a live array without any interruption in service. Although be aware that it does take a looooonnnnnggg time to rebuild the array after adding a drive (plan 4-6 hours at least), and during the rebuild you'll have degraded service.
It is very easy to reconfigure RAID 5 on a live Server without data loss.
To begin, you need to install OMSA. It can be downloaded form Dell Support website. Once you have selected Server model (for example, PowerEdge 2950) and Operating System, scroll down and expand "Systems Management" category. Then, click on "Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Managed Node" to download it.
Besides, make sure all the system firmware is up to date, including BIOS, DRAC and RAID Controller firmware. All of the firmware also can be downloaded form Dell Support. The firmware updates will probably need a restart.
Last but not the least, in case the Server loses power or goes down for some reason, fresh backup is always recommended before adding disk to RAID 5 array.
Depends on the RAID controller to grow the volume and depends also on the OS to resize the partition and grow the filesystem. Check the documentation for your RAID controller and the documentation about VMFS.

Kim Kardashian [Rex]
We've heard plenty about this summer's cropped and off-the-shoulder tops, but Kim Kardashian – aka the queen of body baring - has come up with a new way to showcase her assets and it's a blast from the past. The soon to be Mrs West has been rocking a wardrobe of nineties style bodies and leopards in the run up to her wedding. So would you too work a body? These are the Dos & DONTs.
DO capitalise on the body sculpting power of a body – think of the classic Azzedine Alaia full skirt and body combo – seriously chic.
DON'T go too tight OR too loose. If you're middle isn't perfectly honed, a thicker material is advisable.
DO explore different cuts – deep back lines are always stylish, but too much side boob a la KimK can look cheap.
DON'T team a nude body with anything vaguely skin matching. As you will look naked.
DO check out American Apparel, Wolford and Donna Karan for great bodies.
And finally DON'T wear the look to a festival – popper fastenings in a portaloo are seriously not practical.

November 23, 2014
LOS ANGELES (AP) - U.S. and Egyptian authorities are making dozens of arrests to crack an identity theft ring that victimized thousands of people.
Laura Eimiller, an FBI spokeswoman in Los Angeles, says FBI agents are making arrests Wednesday morning in Southern California, Nevada and North Carolina. She says about 100 arrests are expected in the US and Egypt - many of them in the Los Angeles area.
An indictment accuses the ring of running a "phishing" scheme in which it used computer intrusion and fraud to obtain personal information and withdraw money from bank accounts.
In "phishing," people answering an e-mail are directed to a bogus Web site where they are asked to update personal information, such as passwords and account numbers.
Eimiller says victims may have lost a combined couple million dollars.

It has every brush I need for my makeup routines. I love how the bristles are soft and don't come loose with use. Love the convenient little case it comes in. Date published: 2014-10-21 Rated 5 out of 5 by lifesapartyof5 from great brushes These brushes are so soft and work really well. They feel like some of the higher end brushes but are so much more affordable!! I actually got this set for $3 during their promotional price! Date published: 2014-10-08 Rated 4 out of 5 by mare from Amazing and versatile! I've purchased from e.l.f. before but a month ago made my first online purchase and was so impressed with these brushes (which I paid only $3 for because of 2 sales). The only "brushes" I owned prior to this purchase were the eye shadow brush that came with my Naked 2 palette and the brush attached to my L'Oreal Mineral Foundation. These are not perfect brushes but they are amazing brushes. To me, value is the quality and quantity I get for the monetary price. There is no better value out there! I use at least 1 brush every day. The powder, concealer, blush and foundation brushes are my favorite. Highly recommend! Date published: 2014-10-08 Rated 5 out of 5 by Jackieeee from Great product I won't go in depth about each brush I'll just do a generalization: I really love all of the brushes I've used so far, they're incredibly soft and blend well. I have not noticed any shedding whatsoever. The case that's included is perfect because not only does it fit all of the brushes but it has room for others as well, and it's great for traveling. Aesthetically the brushes couldn't look any better. I got this set on sale but I would buy it at full price and I will probably buy it for gifts.

Date published: 2014-09-20 Rated 5 out of 5 by SassyWaxy from Great Set! I have been using these brushes for over a year and a half. They are the only brushes I own because I do not feel the need to get new ones. The reason I feel that way is because these brushes hold up over time, do not shed, are soft, and they work wonderfully. I have three of these sets, that I got when there was a sale where you got this set for $3. I only purchased one in the beginning but over time there were more sales and I purchased back up sets. The first set I ever bought is still in great condition because the brushes are easy to clean and take care of. I only rated the value of the product a 4 because I have never paid full price for the brushes. Date published: 2014-09-20 Rated 3 out of 5 by arcadiarose from So-so brush set I am a big fan of e.l.f.'s brushes, but for some reason, this collection missed the mark. The larger, fluffier brushes are pretty good. Some of them shed a little, but I'm hoping that's just because they're new. The smaller brushes seem cheaply made, and one arrived with the top coming off. I had to glue it back on. They work OK when they're in one piece. This is very disappointing, as e.l.f. makes some excellent brushes. I don't know why they went cheap on this set. The bag itself is nice and large, and holds a lot.

Date published: 2014-09-17 Rated 4 out of 5 by MzMeyer from This set will make an excellent gift. I don't really need any more brushes, Elf or otherwise. But I know from those I have that the Studio line are pretty good brushes for the budget price (and don't let the brand snobs fool you.... a few of these would be good brushes at ANY price). So I was very happy to grab one of these sets for the $3 promotion, to have on hand as a gift. A make-up lover in my life is going to be very happy come Christmas. Thanks, Elf :) Date published: 2014-09-15 Rated 5 out of 5 by geniecaisrad from Have Your Cake And Easy It Too I've had my brush set for a very long time. I'd say almost a year now. I love it no matter what. I've have no problems with my at and I don't plan on upgrading any time soon. I see these reviews about them falling apart and such. To each their own. Not everyone is going to luck out and get the set that doesn't fall apart. For every bad a review it spread ten times. For every good review it spreads about 3 time. Love my brushes :) Date published: 2014-09-13 Rated 5 out of 5 by KMcMahan2010 from Love them! I bought this set when it was 50% off in December 2013 and love it! I use it daily and have not had any issues with them, even after washing, other than they take a couple days to fully dry for some of the larger brushes. I need a second set for that reason. Lol Date published: 2014-09-13 Rated 1 out of 5 by Promualife from You get what you pay for There's no way these brushes are worth $30. $3 is more like it. They're junk, cheap poor quality. I'll never purchase brushes from here again let alone their makeup. It's all cheap for a reason, you get what you pay for PERIOD Date published: 2014-09-09 Rated 4 out of 5 by ceevee28 from Good to begin with I purchased these brushes as a beginner set for myself when I first started getting more into makeup. These brushes are soft, apply makeup well, and there is a good variety in the set. However, I was dissapointed at how easily the brushes fell off. I lost the smudge brush early on. I also don't use the case because the brushes fall out of it easily. I think overall this is a great starter set for the price and to learn with.

About Kobot
Kobot is a dynamic, user-centred web design team dedicated to realizing your full potential on the web. When you need the world to see how passionate you are about what you do, we're here to make that happen.
We don't do cookie-cutter websites and we don't do the same-old, same-old: we take carefully-considered design and couple it with cutting edge web development and content strategy to ensure your message is heard. We want to transfer your values and goals to the web and help you get noticed.
Kobot works with people as invested in themselves and their business as we are in ours. We want to work with innovators, risk takers and creative personalities. We love meeting people who want to do more, who aspire to greatness.
We create thoughtful websites. Contact us to talk about yours.

- Bryan Kulba Designer firstname.lastname@example.com @bryanarchy
- Stefan Duret Developer email@example.com @pastlives
- Bryan Birtles Writer email@example.com @bryanbirtles
What We Do
You wouldn't be satisfied by a product or service that's "good enough," and neither are we--we want to make the web work for you in every way possible. To do that we take a holistic approach, developing comprehensive digital strategies that go well beyond "just a website." From user-centred design to social media strategy, your success is our business.
- Website design
- Brand & Identity development
- Digital Strategy & Social media
- UX/UI design
- Content services & strategy
- CMS & Web App development
How We Do it
It's important to us that you get a website that's right for you, not a lesser version of someone else's. We custom build each site we make, integrating your goals, values and strategy.
We do it in three steps:
"A website is more than a colour scheme and fonts"
The most important part of building a website happens before colours are picked or code is written. We look at your identity, existing content, your needs, competitors and marketplace to create the most effective web presence possible, one that reflects your values and communicates them to potential clients.
"Good research begets good design, good design begets success"
Once we've assessed the needs of your organization, we get to work. And while we work we keep you up to date on our progress and get feedback to make sure you get a site that helps fulfill your goals. We want to build websites that find solutions to the challenges you have, such as reaching a wider audience or communicating your message.
"You're always trying to improve, and so are we"
Once the site is built, we work with you to ensure you know how it works and what it can do for you. Not to worry--it's easy: we use a custom content management system that's straightforward and intuitive. It's our business to make your site successful, and we're as invested in our business as you are in yours.
Our Recent Work
Edmonton City As Museum Project
For decades the idea of a city museum has been proposed, studied, planned and subsequently abandoned in our hometown of Edmonton. Our clients at the Edmonton Heritage Council wanted to finally get the ball rolling by creating a website that promoted building a bricks-and-mortar museum that would tell the story of Edmonton as an urban centre.
Instead, we made them a counter-proposal: rather than tell the story of a museum, get started telling the stories that will be in the museum. We suggested an online museum whose exhibits come from a wide variety of Edmontonians, that tells the story of Edmonton while setting the tone and building support for a physical museum. To our delight, they jumped at the idea.
Then we set about creating it: we had to marry crowdsourcing with the authority of an arms-length government agency. We had to create a system that was easy to update so that it didn't eat into the other important work the EHC does. We had to come up with content and social-media strategies that allowed the EHC to get the word out about the site for next to nothing.
We couldn't be prouder of the way the Edmonton City As Museum Project turned out: it's colourful, informative and its tone has the correct balance of cynicism and enthusiasm Edmontonians do.
Edmonton Manual
Every doctor who wants to practice medicine in Canada needs to pass a series of tests called Objective Structured Clinical Examinations, or OSCEs. They're practical tests where a medical student meets with a patient—being played by an actor—and they need to diagnose them based on the symptoms they present. They're difficult to study for and not very many high-quality resources exist.
A few years ago, however, the University of Alberta Medical Students' Association came out with a comprehensive OSCE study guide it called the Edmonton Manual. When they needed to update the website to better handle promotion and facilitate orders of the book, the editors of the Edmonton Manual approached us to create it.
We developed a sleek, simple-to-navigate site designed to walk medical students through the reasons behind the book and the benefits it will bring them, before facilitating the easy purchase of a copy. Everything is all on one page, with options to get more information without clicking away—users can delve as deeply into the content as they like, without leaving the conversion funnel. There's no getting lost in some far-off piece of content.
Like many of our sites, the Edmonton Manual's site is designed to do one thing: in this case, turn medical students into purchasers. We believe in stripping away everything that doesn't help fulfill a site's goal.
PICA 2014 Design Conference
Pica is a design conference held by the Alberta North Chapter of the Graphic Designers of Canada. Intended for emerging as well as established designers, Pica is being held in Edmonton this year for the first time since beginning in 1999. For the 2014 conference, Kobot is proud to be an official sponsor.
Utilizing branding developed by fellow conference sponsor the Met Agency, Kobot created a web experience designed to elicit excitement amongst the province's design community. We're selling to an accomplished audience, so we needed to make something that was dynamic, fun and fresh, something that worked well and in a way that elicited surprise.
We built a long-scrolling site that operates like a path, walking designers through the dates, location, speakers and workshops, before asking them to sign up. The branding is eye-catching and was easy to work with: we built it out into an experience that is both informative and fun, and hopefully reflects on the experience attendees will have at the conference.

Home to a vast lineup of dairy-based frozen treats, Bruster's makes its ice creams, yogurts, and waffle cones fresh every day in-store. The menu boasts everything from traditional sundaes ($3.65–$5.94) to customizable, candy-loaded blasts ($3.65–$4.35). Guests can opt for a regular cone ($2.74–$4.95) or homemade waffle cone ($3.65–$5.40) filled with one of the multitudinous ice-cream flavors, such as Monkey Madness––with banana ice cream, buckeyes, and marshmallows––or Chocolate Lover's Trash––chocolate ice cream filled with chocolate chunks, chocolate-covered peanuts, chocolate butter toffee, chocolate krispies, and receipts from visits to the biannual cocoa consortium. Bruster's also offers no-sugar-added options and fat-free ice creams, as well as low-fat yogurts.
Armed with just a single, generations-old cookie recipe, Great American Cookies opened its first store in 1977, and the rest is history. Today, the franchise boasts locations in malls across the country and nabbed a coveted spot on Entrepreneur magazine?s 2012 list of Top 500 Franchises in the baked-goods category. The shop?s reputation grew, and so did its menu as chefs churned out a mouthwatering roster of gourmet-cookie recipes, each created and carefully tested in Atlanta. The tempting options now include snickerdoodle, peanut butter with M&M?s, and chewy pecan supreme, as well as freshly baked fudge and cheesecake brownies and cookie sandwiches stuffed with frosting. The real showstoppers, however, are the giant chocolate-chip cookie cakes, which can be customized with sweet, celebratory messages or shopping lists penned in colorful icing.
TCBY (a.k.a. The Country's Best Yogurt) serves 96% fat-free yogurt, which contains benevolent bacterial cultures that assist the body with digestion and nutrient absorption. The Pelham location's menu touts silky soft serve in flavors such as golden vanilla and white-chocolate mousse ($1.99–$4.19). Top your probiotic-packed treat with strawberries, gummy bears, coconuts, or a host of other toppings ($0.69–$0.99). TCBY's Beriyo smoothies—potent potions such as Strawberry Bananza and Berrylicious—contain real-dairy frozen yogurt blended with bushels of fresh fruit ($4.49–$5.49). Celebrate successfully evading a baby raincloud with a hand-scooped traditional sundae ($4.39–$4.59). Prices and selection vary from store to store.
Owner Tomek Wrzesien set out to create his own gallery in the renovated office space that now houses Urban Standard, but he soon drew inspiration from the café culture of his native Poland and instead met the neighborhood's need for eclectic deli fare, freshly baked goods, and boutique beverages. Breakfast offers a variety of old-world eats in addition to down-home staples such as creamy grits with sausage and cheese ($3). Share a stylish luncheon of salads, sandwiches, or grilled paninis with fancy-pants ingredients such as truffle oil, balsamic jam, and homemade pimento cheese. Carnivores can sink canines into Tomek's Polish Street Sandwich, a cavalcade of cured meats and cheese on ciabatta (half $5.50, whole $8.75), whereas vegetarians can rustle up a grilled marinated-tofu sandwich ($7.50) with a small roasted-fennel and goat-cheese salad ($4.50). If a whole meal seems too daunting, sophisticated snackers can adjust their pince-nez while sampling from a list of baked goods that would make Marie Antoinette blush.
The comfy java haven boasts painstakingly selected, high-quality coffee that is hand-roasted daily to sate the discerning palates of caffeinated, neighborhood libation enthusiasts. Ask a well-versed staff member for suggestions or peruse the percolating menu at your own leisure, alighting upon such organically laden goodies as the classically frothy cappuccino ($3) or the macchiato ($2.50), a tasty amalgamation of steamed milk and espresso. The mocha ($3.50–$4) envelops your taste buds in all its mahogany loveliness, whereas the chai ($3.50–$4), coffee's exotic half cousin, is steeped in black tea and sweet spices. Request your beverage chilled for sweltering days or when you're smuggling a diminutive ice sculpture in your mouth. Bask in drinkable irony with a 12-ounce take-home container of decaf espresso ($11.99), ideal for sipping on the front porch or imbibing during laidback concentration parties.
TJ's slow-smokes meats, pairing them with sides composed of fresh ingredients that have never known the molecule-slowing touch of the freezer. The rib sandwich ($6.79) reclines on two slabs of freshly baked bread, and show-stealing open-faced platters of brisket ($8.95), smoked wings ($7.59), or pork ($7.59) scream at two house-made sides, including coleslaw, baked beans, and corn on the cob for looking them in the eyes.

Museum Launches Initiative to Examine International Responses to Genocide
The Museum has released previously unpublished material about a pivotal moment in the lead-up to the 1994 Rwandan genocide as part of new project that examines the massive failure of the international community to stop one of the most horrifying and brutal episodes of mass violence that the world has seen since the Holocaust.
Why the Central African Republic Crisis Is a Security Problem for the US
In an article for Defense One, Madeleine K. Albright, former Secretary of State and co-chair of the Museum–co-sponsored Working Group on the Responsibility to Protect, discusses the steps taken by the Obama administration to address the situation in the Central African Republic, outlines why atrocities perpetrated in the heart of Africa are important to the strategic interests and moral values of the United States, and why the "responsibility to protect" is applicable here.

Who cries for Graham Coxon or Scott Kannberg? A better question: How many people even know their names? They are The Other Songwriters, talented individuals who will go down in musical history as merely the sidemen for more distinctive songwriters, respectively Blur's Damon Albarn and Pavement's Stephen Malkmus. Once they left their famous bands, they were destined for scant audience recognition and a lingering critical stigma that their own records were pale imitations of their old group's efforts. Blake Sennett shares the same problem, although he remains with his real meal ticket, Rilo Kiley, the group fronted by vocalist (and ex-girlfriend) Jenny Lewis. Sennett's work with The Elected continues Kiley's pop-heavy emphasis, but as the title of their new album, Sun, Sun, Sun, suggests, the results are undoubtedly buoyant, if slightly redundant. Hopefully, Sennett will give his busman's holiday of charming, inconsequential songs more urgency while calling the shots onstage.

Positive views of President Obama's economic leadership have rebounded slightly since hitting its lowest level in a year-and-a-half earlier this month.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 36% of Likely U.S. Voters now give the president good or excellent marks for his handling of economic issues. That's up from 32% in early December, his lowest positives since June of last year. Forty-six percent (46%) still rate the president's economic performance as poor, down slightly from 48% in the previous survey. (To see survey question wording, click here).
The Political Class, however, strongly disagrees. Ninety-one percent (91%) of Political Class voters think the president is doing a good or excellent job with the economy, but 61% of Mainstream voters consider his handling of economic issues to be poor.
Sixty-two percent (62%) of Democrats like the job the president is doing with the economy. Seventy-seven percent (77%) of Republicans and 50% of voters not affiliated with either major party do not.
Obama fares slightly better when it comes to national security. Forty-three percent (43%) of all voters rate his handling of national security issues as good or excellent, while 38% believe he's doing a poor job. This is generally consistent with surveying for the past several months.
The president's overall job approval rating has been running for several weeks at the lowest levels of his presidency, but this week suggests he may be recovering slightly from the high negatives he's been earning as a result of the disastrous rollout of the new national health care law. The president's monthly approval for November hit a two-year low.
Fifty-six percent (56%) of voters have a negative opinion of the health care law.
(Want a free daily e-mail update? If it's in the news, it's in our polls). Rasmussen Reports updates are also available on Twitter or Facebook.
The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on December 8-9, 2013 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
The Rasmussen Employment Index which measures worker confidence jumped five points in November. October's finding was the lowest level of confidence measured this year. The increase in the index correctly signaled that the next government jobs report was better than expected.
Forty-three percent (43%) of working Americans think they will be earning more money a year from today. That ties the highest level of confidence measured since April 2009.
Older voters rate the president more negatively on both the economy and national security than younger voters do.
Blacks overwhelmingly think the president is doing a good or excellent job in both areas. Whites and other minority voters tend to this he's performing poorly, especially when it comes to the economy.
Ninety percent (90%) of voters who identify themselves as members of the Tea Party Movement feel the president is doing a poor job when it comes to economic issues. They have strong negative views on his handling of national security as well.
While both parties insist a budget deal that will prevent another federal government shutdown is near, most voters still want government spending cuts and remain skeptical that such a deal is coming.
Voters continue to trust Republicans more than Democrats on both the economy and national security issues.
Despite the president's unexpected handshake and brief conversation with Cuban leader Raul Castro this week, only 17% believe America's relationship with Cuba will be better a year from now, while 10% expect it to be worse.
Voters are almost evenly divided over a treaty the United States has reached with Iran to slow that country's nuclear weapons program and tend to think the arrangement is likely to make things worse in the Middle East.
