Hack and / - Take Mutt for a Walk
Listing 2. Sample ~/.mutt/colors
# color settings color normal white default color attachment brightyellow default color hdrdefault cyan default color indicator brightwhite default color markers brightred default color quoted green default color signature cyan default color tilde blue default color tree red default color quoted1 green default color index brightyellow default ~N # New color index yellow default ~O # Old #example of how to colorize based on FROM: #color index magenta default '~f firstname.lastname@example.com'
All of the color options follow the same syntax. First, the word color, then which object should be colorized and finally the foreground and background colors to use. I use default as my background color, so if I have a transparent window, the background is also transparent. You'll notice that the color options for the index (the mutt window that lists all of the messages in a mailbox) has an extra option at the end that lets you control what attributes it should match before it applies that color. For instance, in these two options:
color index brightyellow default ~N # New color index yellow default ~O # Old
the ~N and ~O arguments match any new or old messages, respectively. You can use mutt's extensive matching language to match on all sorts of message attributes. In the above file, I provide a commented example for how to colorize a message based on its FROM: header.
As I mentioned earlier, I like to separate any settings that might differ between machines into a ~/.muttrc.local file. Here's an example of the settings you might want to keep there if you had all of your e-mail stored in a local Maildir folder:
# local mbox settings set mbox_type=Maildir set folder=~/Maildir set spoolfile=+INBOX set record=+sent-mail save-hook . "+saved-messages-`date +%Y`" mailboxes "=INBOX"
Here is an example .muttrc.local for a system that accesses mail remotely via IMAP:
set folder=imaps://mail.example.net/INBOX set imap_user=username set imap_pass=password set spoolfile=+ set record=+.sent-mail save-hook . "=.saved-messages-`date +%Y`"
Note here that I specify both the IMAP user name and IMAP password. If you want extra security, you will want to leave out the imap_pass option so your password is not in plain text. If no password is specified, mutt will prompt you when it connects to that IMAP server.
After you define your main mail folder settings, you also will want to define any other mailboxes you have besides INBOX. I keep these mailboxes defined in ~/.mutt/mailboxes, and I should note that the order does matter here. Whatever mailboxes you define in your configuration files will be checked by mutt for new mail. When you tell mutt to change to a different mailbox, it automatically will fill in the mailbox name with the next mailbox that has new mail. I use this feature a lot, especially at work, as it allows me to make sure I go through all of the high-priority mailboxes with new mail first. Here is a sample mailboxes file. Note that the = sign tells mutt that these folders are off the main folder:
mailboxes "=linuxjournal" mailboxes "=consulting" mailboxes "=nblug" mailboxes "=saved-messages" mailboxes "=sent-mail"
The final configuration file worth mentioning is ~/.mutt/hooks where I store all of my folder hooks and other settings. Hooks are a powerful feature in mutt that allow you to change your mutt settings on the fly based on your current folder, the recipient of an e-mail or contents in an e-mail when you reply to it. Hook syntax can get a bit complicated, so I recommend if you want to know more about a particular option, especially the index_format and folder_format syntax, that you reference the official documentation on mutt.org. Listing 3 shows a few example hooks I use to change how messages are sorted in some folders, tweak what signature to use on certain e-mail messages and even change my TO address when I reply to a message.
Listing 3. Example Hooks
# The first options set defaults unset sig_on_top # default hook is 'set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} # %-15.15L (%4l) %s"' folder-hook . 'set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%4l) %s"' folder-hook . 'set sort=date' folder-hook . 'my_hdr From: Kyle Rankin <firstname.lastname@example.com>' send-hook . unset signature # Set special options when I'm in my nblug folder folder-hook nblug 'set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} ↪%-15.15F (%4l) %s"' folder-hook . 'set sort=date' folder-hook nblug 'set sort=threads' folder-hook nblug 'set signature="~/.mutt/.sig.nblug" #default folder_format="%2C %t %N %F %sl %-8.8u %-8.8g %8s %d %f" set folder_format="%2C %t %N %8s bytes - %d %f" # these settings will pick a different signature file to use # depending on whether I'm sending email to nblug.org (one of my # mailing lists) or one of my consulting clients send-hook '~t @nblug\.org$' 'set signature="~/.mutt/.sig.nblug"; ↪my_hdr From: My Name <email@example.com>' send-hook '~t client@example\.com$' ↪'set signature="~/.mutt/.sig.consulting"; my_hdr From: ↪My Name <firstname.lastname@example.com>' # This is the actual hook I use to make sure emails to my # Linux Journal address have the proper FROM headers reply-hook '~t lj@greenfly\.net' 'my_hdr ↪From: Kyle Rankin <email@example.com>'
So there you have it. If your interest in mutt is piqued, these options should be more than enough to get you started. I also know that these settings won't appeal to everyone. That's the beauty of mutt—you can change the options until they do suit you. I still recommend once you get your base options configured that you spend a little time with the official documentation on mutt.org. There are many great examples and also many more options than I listed here that might solve a particular configuration problem you are having.

CHARLOTTE — State Sen. Vincent Sheheen is meeting privately with Democratic governors at the Democratic National Convention this week in preparation for a possible 2014 rematch with Republican Gov. Nikki Haley.
Ive been asking some questions about what it was like for them in their states, just for me to learn and listen, Sheheen said Tuesday, shortly after speaking to S.C. delegates at the convention. Whereas, traditionally, Democratic leaders and other states havent been too interested in South Carolina, I think were on the radar screen, and I think thats good for South Carolina.
Sheheen, who lost narrowly to Lexingtons Haley two years ago, would not say who he has met with, other than Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer, who spoke to the S.C. delegation on Monday. Like Sheheen, Schweitzer is a Democrat in a state that routinely votes Republican.
Hes very proud of his heritage in the rural part of his state, Sheheen said of Schweitzer. We talked about a lot of those shared commonalities.
Sheheen repeatedly has said he has not decided if he will run for governor again in 2014. But in at least two public speeches this week in Charlotte, the Camden attorney appeared to be testing out a possible campaign theme: Look what happens when Republicans are in charge.
Tuesday morning, Sheheen brought S.C. Democrats to their feet as he blamed Republicans for the increasing cost of public-college tuition and accused them of increasing class sizes in public schools while shrinking teacher pay. (This year, the Republican-controlled Legislature gave teachers a 2 percent raise.)
Sheheen spoke in mostly general terms, not mentioning any Republican by name. But he took some barely veiled shots at Haley, including:
Asking what would ethics look like in Republican-controlled South Carolina, a reference to the ethics charges lodged against Haley charges the House Ethics Committee cleared the governor of.
• Pointing out South Carolinas 9.6 percent unemployment rate, the fifth-highest in the nation. Dont listen to all this, Im working so hard. Im bringing jobs to South Carolina, Sheheen said, referring to a Haley refrain. Since taking office, Haley has announced companies plan to create 27,000 jobs in South Carolina.
Saying Republicans have destroyed public emails a reference to Haleys office deleting some emails. Haley says her office since has changed its document-retention policy.
Haley has said it is too early to talk about running for re-election. The governor is focused on the job she was elected to do, not the next election, spokesman Rob Godfrey said Tuesday. Its much too soon to think about a 2014 election.
U.S. Rep. Tim Scott, a Republican from North Charleston, said Tuesday that Haley is well-positioned to win re-election. Theres no question Nikki Haley has done a tremendous job, he said. If Sen. Sheheen decides to make his bid again, I think he will meet with the same results as last time.
But state Democratic leaders think otherwise.
They clearly want Sheheen to run for governor again.
State party chairman Dick Harpootlian introduced Sheheen on Tuesday as a 2014 candidate for governor an introduction that Sheheen said was complimentary but not accurate.
Still, Sheheen ended his speech by telling delegates two years from now, four years from now and six years from now, you will see things change in South Carolina.
That was a hell of a state Senate campaign speech, Harpootlian joked.
Build a farm team
While Sheheen has been testing out the campaign waters, other S.C. Democrats say they are more concerned this week with building a Democratic farm team than focusing on the race for governor.
Weve got to figure out how to build a farm team. ... Weve got to drill down, drill down to state and local races, state Rep. Gilda Cobb-Hunter of Orangeburg told S.C. delegates Monday. One office we dont have a problem with is someone running for governor. Weve got at least four or five people out there now talking about it.
Delegates including Sheheen, U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn of Columbia and state Rep. John King of Rock Hill have addressed S.C. college students this week, hoping to turn them into Democrats.
One of those students was Raina Wallace, a 20-year-old Columbia College student. Wallace interned for U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican from Seneca, but said she considers herself an independent, adding she has not decided who she will vote for.
(S.C. Democrats) have been successful in getting their message out, she said.

A massacre! Is there any other way to describe what has happened to the sign-up bonus on the American Express Platinum card, which has plunged overnight from 52,000 Membership Rewards points (=52,000 Avios) to NOTHING!
When I ran my post last week suggesting that you should jump in before the advertised bonus cut on March 3rd, I wasn't expecting anything as bad as this. Perhaps a drop from 52,000 to 42,000 points. But not 52,000 points to zero!
The bonuses on the British Airways American Express cards have also been reduced as well. However, these are still acceptable and have been worse (and, of course, have been better!).
I have updated the 'Credit Cards Update' page for March to reflect these changes. I left this a couple of days later than usual, because of the changes to the Amex Platinum and BA Amex bonuses which were due yesterday.
Here are all the changes to the list:
The bonus on the Starwood Preferred Guest American Express dropped from 20,000 points back to its usual 10,000 points on February 15th.
Tesco has extended the referral bonus on its credit cards until 30th June. If you refer a new cardholder, both the referrer and the person being referred will receive 1,000 Clubcard points (2,400 Avios or 2,500 Flying Club miles).
The bonus on the American Express Platinum charge card was reduced from 50,000 points (52,000 if referred) to nothing (2,000 if referred)
The bonus on the free British Airways American Express card was reduced from 9,000 Avios (10,000 if referred) to 3,000 Avios (4,000 if referred)
The bonus on the British Airways Premium Plus card was reduced from 25,000 Avios (26,000 if referred) to 18,000 Avios (19,000 if referred)
The bonus on the Flybe card has improved from two lounge passes to one free flight and one lounge pass
Annoyingly, the current deal on the Lloyds Avios card – which requires you to book hotel nights via Avios in order to redeem your 'free' Avios – still has another month to run before something (hopefully) better turns up.
What are the best deals currently available?
Given the downgrades to the various bonuses above, there are only three cards that I currently recommend as offering 'best in class' bonuses. Other cards do other acceptable bonuses, but you are likely to find that a better deal comes along if you are willing to wait a few months.
1. American Express Preferred Rewards Gold
This is currently an outstanding deal, which is showing no signs of going away. No fee for the first year and 22,000 Membership Rewards points if you are referred (see here for what 22,000 Membership Rewards points can get you – 22,000 Avios points for a start!) The bonus if you are not referred is lower, at 20,000 points.
If you apply via quidco.com you will receive £10 cashback and 20,000 points (20,000 Avios). However, you are better off forgetting the cashback and letting someone refer you, because of the higher 22,000 points (22,000 Avios) bonus.
I am happy (and grateful) to refer any Head for Points reader who wants this card – the bonus I receive helps to offset the costs of running the blog. E-mail me at raffles [at] headforpoints.co.uk
2. Hilton HHonors Platinum Visa
If you're looking for a Visa or Mastercard, this card remains a great deal purely for the sign-up deal. You get a free night in any Hilton Group property for spending £750. That could be worth £250 if spent wisely at a Conrad or Waldorf-Astoria branded property.
3. Priority Club Black Visa
If you are used to having Platinum status for your Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn Express, Indigo, InterContinental etc stays, you will probably have noticed by now that you are very unlikely to requalify in 2013. The incredibly harsh new regime – which means only base points and not bonuses count for status – will see 80%+ of Platinum cardholders drop away, I imagine.
The Priority Club Black Visa comes with Platinum status as a free (and not publicised) perk. There is an annual fee of £99 but if you do enough stays at Priority Club hotels then it is a decent deal. Last month I also found a new link which gives you 40,000 points for signing up (worth 8,000 Avios or other airline miles, or 80% of an InterContinental free night) which more than covers your first year fee.
Full details, including links to the application forms, are on the 'Credit Cards Update' page.

I agree with the bulk of this. For better or for worse, CR is going to be the least biased of any similar publication.

Special to The U-R
Milledgeville-Baldwin County Habitat for Humanity (MBCHFH) is partnering with the Color Bash company to host a 5k race April 27 at the Oconee River Greenway.
Murali Thirumal, executive director of the MBCHFH, hopes the event will increase awareness for the organization in a fun and entertaining way, and encourage a sense of unity within the community.
"While providing affordable housing is important to the needy families, so is fellowship," Thirumal said. "This event will gather together all of Milledgeville for an event that highlights the housing need in a way that may seem indirect, yet will be seen under the banner of Habitat for Humanity."
This family-friendly event will feature music and a live broadcast from Z97, food from Georgia Bob's BBQ and vendor booths from various local businesses.
The registration cost for the race is $40 for an individual and $30 per person when registering with a group of four or more. Children under 5 may register for free.
"Habitat Color Bash will help form a greater sense of family for our whole community," Thirumal said. "[It will be] an event that will be fun-filled for children of all ages and groups."
Twenty percent of the registration proceeds will go to the local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity; the remaining 80 percent will go to the Color Bash company for production costs. Funds raised in the process will go directly to aiding local families with their housing needs.
"We would like to turn this into a regional event, which will draw individuals from all over Middle Georgia," Thirumal said. "Being the inaugural year, we feel confident that the planners have done a fantastic job in orchestrating and coordinating all the moving parts so well. … We hope this will be a very successful annual event for Milledgeville in the future."
MBCHFH would like to show an expression of gratitude to its generous Platinum and Diamond Level sponsors: Grimes Signs and the Grove Apartments (Platinum Level); Z97 Radio and The Rotary Club of Milledgeville (Diamond Level).
Habitat for Humanity of Milledgeville and Baldwin County was incorporated in 1994 and completed its first home in 1996. Habitat MBC is supported by donations from churches, businesses, individuals and proceeds from the ReStore. The Habitat ReStore sells new and gently used furniture, functioning household appliances, clean furnishings and building material surplus. All items are donated for sale and the proceeds are used to support Habitat's mission of eliminating substandard housing in Milledgeville and Baldwin County.

The battle over the budget got an early start this past week when DFLer Sen. Ann Rest introduced bills that would lift the sale tax exemption on clothing and expand it into online retailing—specifically media downloads like music, movies and TV shows.
With DFL majorities in both houses of the legislature and the governor's mansion, the bills are likely to pass, though that hasn't precluded some grumbling from the greatly diminished Republican contingent.
"With the current state of the economy, it's disappointing to see tax increases proposed and anticipated," Burnsville Sen. Dan Hall wrote in his weekly legislative update. "This is not the right direction to take our state. The truth is: the state does not have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem."
At present, Minnesota is one of only a handful of states that does not have a sales tax on most clothing, though there are some exceptions for non-essential items. Brian Bakst of the Associated Press reported that Minnesota forfeits $300 million in revenue due to the sales tax exemption on clothing.
Rest's proposal would hold the first $200 of a purchase harmless from the tax, which should shield the poor from bearing the brunt of the burden, she said. If the legislation passes, the sales tax on clothing would apply to purchases made after June 30, 2013. Rest's proposals can be found in a cluster of bills: S.F. No. 11, S.F. No. 9, and S.F. No. 35.
Small businesses and bricks-and-mortar retailers welcomed the tax on digital purchases (which they have argued is long overdue) but were far less enthusiastic about repealing the exemption on clothing. The proposal was especially troubling to Maureen Bausch, an executive from the temple of capitalism, the Mall of America.
"If we add this tax on apparel, it will absolutely affect our tourism trade," Bausch said in a report from the AP. The MOA attracts 17 million tourists each year. "The ability to market Minnesota's lack of sales tax is absolutely our clear competitive edge."
In other news from St. Paul:
• Sen. Greg Clausen leant his support to S.F. 17, a resolution requesting that "Congress to propose a constitutional amendment...clarifying the rights protected under the Constitution are the rights of natural persons and not the rights of artificial entities and that spending money to influence elections is not speech under the First Amendment."
• Apple Valley Rep. Tara Mack (R) was listed as co-author of H.F. No. 75, which would require community paramedics to complete an additional 12 hours of continuing education in clinical topics.
Coming up:
Gov. Mark Dayton's budget proposal will come out this week. Stay tuned.

The Player:
Drew Brees is a professional football player currently playing with the New Orleans Saints. Brees was born 1/15/1979. He played college football at Purdue University and was drafted in 2001 by the San Diego Charges as the 1st pick of the 2nd round of the draft.
The Injury:
In the last game of the 2005 season, the San Diego Chargers were playing the Denver Broncos. Brees was injured while being tackled and sustained a shoulder dislocation.
The Surgery:
The surgery performed on Brees was to repair a torn labrum, called a Bankart lesion. A Bankart lesion occurs when the shoulder dislocated, pulling off an important ligament that helps to hold the shoulder in proper position. Unfortunately, this ligament tends to heal poorly is left alone, leaving the shoulder susceptible to repeat dislocations. Therefore, surgery is performed to hold the ligament in its proper position, and thus prevent repeat dislocations.

Friends and co-workers of South Whitehall's longtime Public Works Director Jim Weber are hoping to honor his memory with a memorial.
Weber, who worked for the township for 37 years,
On Wednesday, township Manager Jon Hammer told the commissioners at their meeting that Weber's friends and co-workers had presented South Whitehall with $1,250 they had raised for a memorial.
They did not provide preferences but ideas included:
- A memorial plaque/stone at
- The naming of the Public Works Garage after Weber.
"They kind of left that to us, as to how we would like to spend [the money]," Hammer said.
The commissioners said they will discuss options.
"I'm sure we can figure something wonderful out," said Commissioner Board President Tori Morgan.
Hammer said it was more important "to do something significant" in Weber's memory rather than to rush a decision.
Weber started working for South Whitehall in 1974 and became public works director in 1998. He also served as acting township manager in 2010.

New outfield video screens, expanded restrooms, widened concourses and a wi-fi network are among the upgrades that will greet fans at Dodger Stadium this season, team officials announced Tuesday.
"The mission of Dodger ownership is to create ways to enhance the experience for all of our fans," Dodger President/CEO Stan Kasten said. "Dodger Stadium is a treasured piece of the Los Angeles community and we will respect that heritage while restoring and enhancing the venue for our fans in the 21st century.
"When the improvements are completed, the stadium will retain its classic look, but it will have a more comfortable feel," he said.
According to the team, a new sound system will be installed, designed to minimize echoes. New video screens will be installed in left and right field, giving the team the first 10mm, 1080p LED displays in Major League Baseball, according to the Dodgers.
Between two and four rows of seats will be removed from sections on all levels of the ballpark to provide more walking space on concourses, along with more wheelchair seating and "drink rails" for fans roaming the stadium.
Restrooms will be expanded on the loge, reserve and upper reserve levels, adding about 62 percent more fixtures for women and 32 percent for men. Family restrooms will be install on all levels, while outfield restrooms will be moved under the pavilions.
A wi-fi system will be installed for the benefit of smartphone-toting fans and media, along with a cellular antenna system.
Playground areas for children will be installed in the pavilion and reserve levels.
For the players, the clubhouses will roughly double in size, and a batting cage will be installed for visiting teams.

RALEIGH — So far this year, Gov. Bev Perdue has ordered North Carolina flags lowered to half-staff 12 times, just one shy of the total for 2011, more than twice the number of officially somber occasions observed in 2010.
Some of the nations worst atrocities rank among those flag-lowering events: the mass shootings in Wisconsin, the movie-theater massacre in Colorado, a madmans gunfire in Tucson.
Flags in Raleigh lingered at half-mast in memory of some of the more grave chapters in American history: Pearl Harbor, the Korean War, Sept. 11.
But Im going to go out on a very shaky limb here and say that the up-down flag ceremony is getting too frequent, or at least too confusing.
No disrespect to their fine careers, but Im guessing most people who cross the Capitol lawn havent heard of William Wainwright, Bob Shaw or Jim Forrester a few state politicians given recent half-staff remembrance.
On Friday, flags waved low in tribute to Charlie Rose, longtime congressman from Fayetteville, a Democrat nicknamed Mr. Tobacco, a man who tirelessly fought cigarette taxes.
I asked 10 passing people if they could explain the reason for the short-staff flags. Two of them could. Thats 20 percent. Some of the other responses:
Somebody died or something?
Maybe the political conventions?
One of the clueless passers-by worked for the state Department of Administration the very agency that makes the announcements.
But before you fire off the hate mail, let me say that Im 100 percent in favor of any kind of tribute toward any kind of dead person, especially those in public service. Everybody, in my opinion, ought to have a parade when the reaper knocks preferably one with trombones and tubas.
But if that ceremony is going to mean anything, it has got to be consistent, and flag-lowering in North Carolina is anything but.
You dont always get all the flags dipped when you die. Rose only got the Capitol and the state buildings in Cumberland County. Cary Allred, longtime Republican legislator from Burlington, only got Alamance County offices. Total Raleigh shutout.
Meanwhile, look at Larry Brown, Republican House member from Kernersville. His death in August commanded lowered flags from Murphy to Manteo.
Two years ago, Brown brought national condemnation for referring to gays as queers and fruit loops, and for moving to cut off AIDS funding because of the victims perverted lifestyles. Im going to go out on a not-so-shaky limb and say that kind of talk doesnt merit you the same state-flag treatment as Neil Armstrong, first man on the Moon?
Another thing: Ceremony doesnt count if nobody understands it.
If were going to lower the flag, we need some kind of a sign letting people know who is being shown reverence and why. Im glad the governor recognized Warren Sneak Lewis, the Nash County sheriffs investigator killed on duty in Kinston. But I had no idea the flag outside my window was lowered in his name until I looked up a year-old press release.
Charlie Rose served 12 terms in Congress and scored 2 out of 10 for name recognition at the center of North Carolina government. One of those two shrugged her shoulders when I pointed to the flag and asked, but to my great delight, she kept thinking about it as she walked away.
After about 50 feet, she turned and announced for the whole Capitol lawn to hear, Oh, I know why! Charlie Rose passed away. The senator. Thats probably why.
Somewhere in the clouds, even with his office incorrectly stated, Rose sent a smile of thanks wafting down past the lowered flag.

•Alliance Member Collaborations
•University Hunger Summit
•Join the Alliance
On June 11, 2007, The Alliance to End Hunger hosted roundtable discussion with Muslim and Jewish religious and non-profit leaders to discuss how their respective communities could engage in hunger advocacy.
H. Eric Schockman, Ph.D., President of MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger, moderated a group that included rabbis from around the country, as well as leading Jewish advocacy, humanitarian and social justice organizations, such as American Jewish World Service (AJWS), the Jewish Council on Public Affairs (JCPA) and the Religious Action Center (RAC). As a result of their participation in the meeting, JCPA became a member of the Alliance in the fall of 2007.
The roundtable of Muslim religious and humanitarian leaders included Islamic Relief (IR), Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Participants expressed a desire for a hunger advocacy resource for the Islamic community, so the Alliance developed the Ramadan – Hunger Awareness, Action and Advocacy Kit. The Ramadan resource was distributed to approximately 500,000 people through various organizations. Islamic Relief joined the Alliance following the roundtable event and is expanding their work on hunger.
Following the roundtables, Alliance members and guests joined with Bread for the World activists from around the country for the Second Interfaith Convocation on Hunger at the Washington National Cathedral. The Convocation attracted nearly 1,000 worshippers from 45 states. Leaders of a broad array of faith traditions—including Catholic, Protestant, Jewish and Muslim groups—urged an abiding commitment to bring "bread to those who are hungry, and hunger for justice to those who have bread."
Rev. William J. Shaw, president of the National Baptist Convention USA, challenged participants: "Who will bring the poor in this nation and around the world to the attention of … the people of plenty?" Imam Mohamed Magid, executive director of the All Dulles Area Muslim Society, and Vice President of the Islamic Society of North America told worshippers of a visit to a Sudanese refugee camp in the 1980s. He arrived with relief supplies, but a young woman informed him, "You are too late. The babies have died." Magid urged participants: "Let us vow together to never be late again."
Prior to the Convocation, the Alliance to End Hunger, Bread for the World, and RESULTS jointly hosted the National Leaders' Forum on Hunger and Poverty. Republican Senator Chuck Hagel and former Democratic Congressman Harold Ford Jr., Chair of the Democratic Leadership Council, were the keynote speakers at the event. Alliance member RESULTS brought their international conference participants to join in the event, bringing the audience to more than 800 people.

Want to reminisce over your misspent youth? This is the community page for you!
Isn't Facebook a wonderful thing sometimes? Not only does it let you catch up with old friends, keep tabs on old lovers and stalk potential new ones, it can keep you connected with what's happening today, tomorrow, and dredge up memories of times gone past.
That's the idea behind a new Facebook page, Lost Gay Melbourne. It's been set up to celebrate and remember the venues, events and people of years gone by. Melbourne's gay scene is constantly changing, and the gay hub that was Commercial Road in Prahran is not thriving as much as it once did.
For a trip down memory lane, it's worth taking a look at many of the pictures posted on this page – and if you have some yourself, post away! Also check out Gay Melbourne Reunited, and Found Gay Cities, if you want to see what's happening in Gay Melbourne now.

When Vincent Pampillonia opened on Bergen Street in 1963, he was the area's lone manufacturer of custom, ornamental iron.
"There was no iron work in this neighborhood. I was the only one doing it and everybody would come. But now I got a lot of competition," said Pampillonia, 75, a native of Italy who developed his unique iron skills at a young age as a blacksmith under the teachings of his father, uncle and grandfather.
"Now everyone copies my father because he was the first one who started this type of work here," said Dominic Pampillonia, 19, Vincent's son who has been working in the shop with his father and two brothers for as long as he can remember.
Pampillonia's architectural metal art comes in the form of structural and ornamental window guards, railings, fences, gates, steel iron doors, room dividers, lamps, porches and even furniture.
"You can't just buy out over 40 years of experience," said Dominic.
"Everything we do is custom and we will do anything you need," said Alfredo Pampillonia, 22, Vincent's oldest son.
For 48 years, Vinnie's Italian Art has been specializing in the restoration and recreation of ironwork that can mostly be found in countless brownstones and landmark buildings throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan.
"I take something very old and make it like new again," said Pampillonia.
of the Pampillonia family inside Vinnie's Italian Art Iron Works.
Pampillonia made the decision to leave his hometown of Palermo, Sicily when he was 27-years-old. It was 1963.
"My country can't give me what I want – I come here for the future to make more money," said Pampillonia in his thick Italian accent.
Pampillonia boarded an Italian vessel that exported wine to America with barely two pennies to rub together; he brought with him only the clothes on his back and a few other small possessions. Pampillonia and others like him searching for a "better" life spent 27 long days aboard the ship and slept on the dozens of crates of bottled wine on the bottom decks of boat. "I was drunk off the smell," he said.
"When I went out on the top of the ship it was beautiful, but we suffered because we didn't know where we were," he said.
Pampillonia and others like him reached their destination at Ellis Island, the historical gateway for millions of emigrants traveling to the United States from the late 19th Century into the 20th Century. After passing through inspection, the first thing on Pampillonia's mind was where he was going to find work.
The first three months that Pampillonia spent in the United States he utilized his skills and worked as an ironworker in Long Island while living on First Avenue and 12th Street in Manhattan. He was earning a wage of $1.20 an hour, or about $75 a week, which doesn't seem like much now, but for Pampillonia in 1963, it was a lot of money.
To start up what would become Vinnie's Italian Art Iron Works, Pampillonia partnered with two men who were working with him in Long Island. He bought 38 Bergen Street for $15,500 and paid a mortgage of only $57 a month. In 1964, he moved to Hicks Street to be closer to his shop.
Quickly, Pampillonia became Brooklyn's top dog iron specialist and took the neighborhood by storm.
"Basically at one point my father owned Bergen Street," said Alfredo who has memories as a 2-year-old child painting rails at Italian Art.
"It's like my father is a landmark in this neighborhood," added Dominic.
During the 1960's, Pampillonia owned close to a dozen properties on Bergen Street, and used them for storage. He eventually sold them for a higher price than he bought them for.
The Brooklyn that Pampillonia experienced over 40 years ago is certainly not the Brooklyn that it is today. Smith Street, today one of the hottest spots in New York City, stretching a mile long and lined with rows of eclectic restaurants, bars and boutiques, was once a dangerous region.
"Smith Street was very bad," said Pampillonia who remembers hearing the sounds of guns firing during the night.
"The neighborhood used to be very different – before you had to watch because if you had something out somebody would steal it from you one, two, three," he said. "There was a lot of problems and there was a lot of danger, but everybody respected me because everybody knew me," he said with a sigh of relief.
Pampillonia said when he came to Bergen Street in 1963 it was a two-way street lined with cobblestone.
"There was a lot of factories on this block – it was very commercial and now it's changed a lot because it's so residential," he said. He even remembers a building on the corner of Bergen Street where prostitution was operated.
Even Alfredo, Pampillonia's eldest son, remembers Bergen Street full of trucks bringing in various products to warehouses that lined that street.
Today, at 75-years-old, Pampillonia wakes at 6 a.m.and begins his workday along with the handful of employees he has at the shop. When asked why he does this type of work at his age he responded, "Because I love to do this – this is my life."
For about 20 years, Pampillonia has been telling his sons that he will retire "soon."
"He'll probably be doing this until the day he dies," said Alfredo.
"If my dad stops working he'll get sick," added Dominic.
And it seems as though Pampillonia is not slowing down. Recently, he thought up an innovative idea "to make New York City beautiful." Although the job would create about 200 jobs, he said, he will not yet disclose what it is.
Pampillonia's success would have given him the opportunity to retire decades ago, but it's the love of his work that keeps him going.
"Today I got no money, but I got a lot of brick," said Pampillonia laughing. By that he means he owns a multitude of properties including his luxurious villa in Dominican Republic where Pampillonia's sons Alfredo, Dominic and Vincent Jr., live with their mother.
"We're like the Trumps of Dominican Republic," said Alfredo.
"We grew up here, but we don't live here – at the end of the summer we gotta go back to a tropical country where it's hot everyday – it's just totally different from here," said Alfredo.
"We live in paradise," said Dominic.
Pampillonia lives comfortably a few doors down from Italian Art and he and his wife of 27 years travel back and forth to see each other as much as they can. All three of his sons were born in Dominican Republic and along with additional extended visits they have been spending every summer for as long as they can remember working with their father at Italian Art.
"I remember when I was just a little blonde child I was walking around this shop with fire all over the place and I didn't care – I used to paint and do whatever I wanted here. I even used to take the company trucks and just crash inside the garage; I think I did that about two or three times," said Alfredo laughing as he reminisced.
The legacy of Vinnie's Italian Art Iron Works may very well end with Vincent Pampillionia.
"It would be a great generation-type dynasty thing to keep this business going, but me and my brothers are studying different careers," said Alfredo.
And what about the statue of St. Joseph that stands so proudly on the roof of Vinnie's?
A month after Pampillonia had open-heart surgery this summer, he fixed up the St. Joseph's statue. A gift from St. Paul's Church on Congress Street, St. Joseph has been in a glass case perched up above Italian Art since 1974.
Pampillonia did all the ironwork on St. Paul's Church, which is why St. Joseph, the patron saint of craftsmen, was given to him.
"Look at where I am – I died and came back to life again," he said as he lifted up his shirt to show the vertical scar down his chest from the surgery. "I decided to fix up [the statue] because maybe it will help me out – who knows?"

Phones disabled in cars. Good idea or bad idea?
The board of the National Transportation Safety Administration on Tuesday recommended tough new restrictions on drivers' use of wireless phones and other mobile devices.
The NTSB specifically recommended that the makers of consumer electronics devices "[e]ncourage the development of technology features that disable the functions of portable electronic devices within reach of the driver when a vehicle is in motion; these technology features should include the ability to permit emergency use of the device while the vehicle is in motion and have the capability of identifying occupant seating position so as not to interfere with use of the device by passengers."
The federal agency also recommended that all 50 states and the District of Columbia "[b]an the nonemergency use of portable electronic devices (other than those designed to support the driving task) for all drivers; ... use the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration model of high visibility enforcement to support these bans; and ... implement targeted communication campaigns to inform motorists of the new law and enforcement, and to warn them of the dangers associated with the nonemergency use of portable electronic devices while driving."
"According to [National Highway Transportation Safety Administration], more than 3,000 people lost their lives last year in distraction-related accidents," said NTSB Chairman Deborah A.P. Hersman. "It is time for all of us to stand up for safety by turning off electronic devices when driving."

|The schedule will be loaded with these teams ... again.
I don't know about you, but the things I always look for right away are who the Aeros open the season against, and how many three in threes they are scheduled to play.
I always look for the longest homestand, the longest road trip and how many times they play San Antonio on the road on Sundays.
You can probably bet that the Aeros will have a dozen or more home games on Sundays and I am interested if the team did indeed move the Saturday start time from 7:35 to 6:05.
I will send Mr. Burke & Co. a nice gift if they get rid of the 7:35 p.m. start time altogether. In reality the puck usually does not drop before 7:40, and that is just too late to start a hockey game. Monday through Friday, the games should start at 7:05. Saturday's should start a 6:05 and Sunday's should be 3:05 or 4:05 ...
Of course there is still the big elephant in the room about the Wild moving the team to another locale next season. This will continue to be a huge topic until Thanksgiving when everyone should know one way or the other where the team will be in 2013-14.
If the Wild does move the team away, I really don't think Houston hockey fans will be without puck for too long. My gut says the team stays put, and the two sides work something out for the next 3-5 years. But it's only 60-40 (%) ... I understands there are valid reasons why both sides are considering other options. After all, the bottom line is money, right?

- Place potatoes in a medium saucepan with water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes, until potatoes are soft. Drain and mash.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup mashed potatoes, salt and vanilla until smooth. Sift confectioners' sugar over potato mixture a cup at a time. Stir into potatoes. Mixture will liquefy at first when sugar is added, then gradually begin to thicken. When it becomes the consistency of stiff dough, knead it, adding more sugar if necessary, or not using the whole amount if mixture is very stiff. Cover with a damp cloth and chill until mixture holds its shape when formed into a small (1/2 inch) ball.
- Form potato mixture into 1/2 inch balls.
- Melt confectioners' coating in a double boiler or in a small saucepan over low heat. Dip balls in melted chocolate, then roll in coconut. Let cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

another way to do it is to make the potato part of the candy into a big ball and roll it out flat. Then spread peanut butter over it and roll up. Cut into slices that look like spirals.
My mom made this candy for us kids every holiday, and special occasions. It may sound terrible-potatoes and chocolate, but it is so good. Mom used to also put peanut butter in at times which is very very good, and often would leave off the coconut if she didn't have any. It was still yummy. As another member suggested, making in a log and then slicing is how mom made it, much less time consuming and that is how i do it.
A lady at our church made this candy years ago and I thought it was so good..Glad I could find the recipe! I did find you had to add more sugar than the recipe called for..You just keep slowly adding sugar in small increments until the dough gets so stiff you're not able to easily stir it, then cover and chill..Then, I dusted my surface and dough with powdered sugar, rolled it out & divided the dough into four sections to make it easier to work with..Then, section by section, I spread peanut butter on the dough, rolled it up and made the roll very thin(much like you did with playdough when you were little, making skinny 'wiggly' worms..lol)..Cut into small pieces and..yum!..enjoy...Overall, a great recipe but makes ALOT of candy..I'm going to half it next time..

A few weeks ago, I noticed an interesting addition to the wall outside council chambers at : a touch-screen monitor.
Now, I love technology, maybe a little too much. I have no idea how I'll get through "Lean Screen Week," an initiative designed to get people to reduce their use of television, computers, video games and the like. Keep an eye on our site April 18-24, and you'll see how I do.
My affinity for all things electronic led me to ask more about the screen and, more importantly, what purpose it served. I asked City Manager Steve Brock, who directed me to management assistant Nate Geinzer, who knows the newly remodeled "green" building inside and out.
Geinzer said the screen is funded through an Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant, as a "public education piece."
"It's essentially a building dashboard," he said. "It's kind of a central point (of information) for what we have in the building."
Right now, visitors can see real-time measurements of how much energy the building produces through solar panels. "It'll convert that to easily relatable things ... like how many loads of laundry you can dry," Geinzer said.
Residents will be able to learn more about all the building's green features, which seems only fair, since they're the ones who sank $8 million into the remodeling project. Not all the information is online yet, Geinzer said, and it's too early to tell how the new building's energy use compares to that of the old building.
Still, he said, "It's a point where people can see what their investment is doing. Once we have enough data, hopefully we'll be able to show a good story. ... Stay tuned."
But there's another reason officials hope you'll stop by Hills City Hall and take a look.
"People can see the types of things we're doing and see how that can relate to what they can do in their home or business," Geinzer said.
So in addition to being a fun and interactive point of information, the touch screen is kind of a "green" inspiration.
How cool is that?

My dear brothers and sisters of Palestine,
I know this post wouldn't do the justice to the injustice you are going through by the zionists. But still I would like to share with you my feelings. I know that my Prophet Muhammad pbuh had said that my Ummah is like a body, if one part hurts, the other parts of the body also feel the pain. I am so sorry that despite feeling the pain, I kept on taking pain killers to avoid sensing it to the extent I should have. I am sorry for the little babies you have lost due to the bombs from Israel. I am sorry that each time any thing happened in Gaza, I started blaming the Muslim leaders and forgot as to what was it I had done to help you out of this situation. I am sorry that whenever a tragedy occurred, I started wondering why the media isn't doing anything, while majority of them are trying to survive by writing anything to make more money out of your tragedy.
I am sorry that I thought that just by sending money I was doing my bit. I am sorry that I didn't realize that food doesn't bring peace, it just fills your stomach. What good is the money that would put bread on your table, but not bring back the people who would sit around it. I am sorry that after watching the videos of small children blown into pieces, I still go back to my normal life disregarding them as something that happens too often, as if that would make it totally normal. I am sorry that I haven't prayed enough for you my brothers and sisters, I am sorry that each time I lifted my hands for dua, I prayed for my family, my well being and forgot that somewhere in Palestine, ummah of my Prophet Muhammad pbuh is awaiting the blessings of that one dua I could have sent over.
I am sorry for the homes and land you have lost, that belonged to your forefathers. I am sorry for the times when I wasted my time on discussing with people who want to wipe you from the face of the earth rather finding ways to find you a place to live, a place you can breath peacefully just like the rest of us. I am so sorry that you have to live in a time when people who support you are hanged in public as inhumane devils, while those that openly spew hate against you are hailed as heroes. You all deserve a place in our hearts, and we should all by all means possible, do every single thing in our power to bring an end to the occupation that started with your genuine love and care for others. When you offered your land to those that have now gone against you and claim it as their own.
I am sorry for just standing in a few demonstrations and shouting "Free Palestine", thinking it would free you. I am sorry for being so naive as to thinking I could bring any change by just joining a few online discussions and adding a few sad smiles after watching a video of a small baby boy who lost half of his head in an attack. I am sorry that my heart didn't burst into pieces seeing the father of that baby trying to wake that baby up telling him he brought him a toy, not realizing that his angel is now in Jannah.
I am sorry, I haven't done enough to be the brother I claim to be. I am afraid that on the day of judgement, you will point me out from a crowd and say, "There he is!!! He didn't stop the injustice with his hands, neither with his tongue, nor thought of it as being anything bad, Allah swt he didn't do enough to help us out, he saw my little baby die in front of his eyes and he didn't do or say anything. He saw my father being killed in front of him and he kept quiet, and when he saw me and my mother put to sleep forever, he reacted as if nothing happened"
I am sorry my brothers and sisters, I truly am. I am sure that tears flowing down my cheeks aren't going to bring back your loved ones, I am sure that each drop that comes out of our eyes for you isn't going to breath life back into your newborn baby or aged father. But I can promise you that there won't be a prayer which will be left without mentioning you in it, and there won't be a possibility lost which can make life easier for you.
I am just sorry for not doing enough. And my Allah swt knows that I am capable of a lot more.
Please forgive me for all those years of negligence, and remember me in your duas that Allah swt gives me and all us Muslims the courage to go out of our way to come in between you and the heartless Zionists.
Your brother,
Wakas Mir
