Phantomjs as a Rubygem
DISCLAIMER: Alpha status, YMMV!
I am lazy as hell, and wanted to be able to install PhantomJS via Rubygems/Bundler when using poltergeist.
It keeps installations of phantomjs in
$HOME/.phantomjs/VERSION/PLATFORM. When you call
Phantomjs.path, it
will return the path to the phantomjs executable in there. If that is not present, it will first fetch and
install the prebuilt packages suitable for the current plattform (currently Linux 32/64 or OS X supported).
You will need
cURL or
wget on your system. For extraction,
bunzip2 and
tar are required on Linux, and
on OS X. They should be installed already.
TL;DR: Instead of manually installing phantomjs on your machines, use this gem. It will take care of it.
require 'phantomjs'
Phantomjs.path # => path to a phantom js executable suitable to your current platform. Will install before return when not installed yet.
Usage with Poltergeist/Capybara
Add this to your
group :test do
gem 'phantomjs', :require => 'phantomjs/poltergeist'
This will automatically require (and install) phantomjs and configure Capybara in the same way as noted below for manual setup
Manual setup
gem 'phantomjs', :group => :test to your
Gemfile and run
bundle. In your test/spec helper, re-configure
the Poltergeist capybara driver to use the phantomjs package from this gem:
require 'phantomjs' # <-- Not required if your app does Bundler.require automatically (e.g. when using Rails)
Capybara.register_driver :poltergeist do |app|
Capybara::Poltergeist::Driver.new(app, :phantomjs => Phantomjs.path)
Check out the poltergeist docs for all the options you can pass in there.
A note about versions.
The gem version consists of 4 digits: The first 3 indicate the phantomjs release installed via this gem, the last one is the internal version of this gem, in case I screw things up and need to push another release before
Warning: The
spec_helper calls
Phantomjs.implode when it is loaded, which purges the
directory. This is no bad thing, it just means every time you run the specs you'll download and install all
three packages over, so tread with caution please :)
- Fork it
- Create your feature branch (
git checkout -b my-new-feature)
- Commit your changes (
git commit -am 'Added some feature')
- Push to the branch (
git push origin my-new-feature)
- Create new Pull Request
(c) 2012 Christoph Olszowka
Note that this project merely simplifies the installation of the entirely separate PhantomJS project via a Ruby gem. You can find the license information for PhantomJS at http://http://phantomjs.org/

Alright everyone! It's time to come help us break in the Goodland Lodge! We've spent the last couple months settling in and getting the place dialed and now we want to have our friends over. There will be eye candy to behold from us as well as our neighbor Jones Precision Wheels, and the whole shop will be open so you can see what we do every day. So drop by and stay a little while, enjoy some amazing beer courtesy of Telegraph Brewing Company and pizza by our friends at Forno Classico. It's guaranteed to be good times for all!
It's a bummer to have to wait nearly a year for a bike. Not only that, but a year is a lot of time in the bike world. The frame that someone wants may change over the course of twelve months. When they placed their deposit, they were road racing all the time. Well, now their riding buddies are all getting into trail riding and they want a mountain bike to join in. Oh, but cross season is coming up! A cross frame would be really great… What that means for the customer is that they are sitting there without a beautiful bicycle under them, and it means that we just designed 3 different bikes instead of one. Nobody is winning.
By moving into a better workspace and having two sets of hands working instead of one, we've been able to bring our lead times down dramatically. Instead of 9-12 months, we're working towards getting frames out the door in 8-12 weeks. Aaron can now give himself cramps and backaches by being at the welding bench all day long. And it means that riders get their bikes faster than ever before.
At the same time, we are also changing the way that we price our bikes. Beginning on December 1st of this year our pricing will be going up. What is currently a base frame price is now becoming a frameset with colormatched frame and fork. We're also wrapping some of the most popular upgrades into the base cost. This lets us design the most cohesive, best riding bike possible. If you do the math, our frame prices are only going up slightly, but the point is to allow our customers to think less about the arithmetic and more about where they want to go on their first ride!
Our basic road and cyclocross framesets, with caliper or cantilever brakes, will come standard with a tapered 44mm or classic 1 ⅛" headtube, and pressfit or threaded bottom bracket. The base price for this frameset option will be $2299. Of course everything is custom, we just want to make life easier for everyone who is asking for the most common upgrades.
In keeping with the times, our disc road and cyclocross framesets will come standard with tapered or 1 ⅛" headtubes, pressfit or threaded bottom brackets, and thru-axle or quick release frame and fork. The base price for this frameset option will be $2599. Now you can choose what suits your riding rather than what suits your budget.
Finally our mountain frames will still be frames for obvious reason. Again, the base price will incorporate tapered or straight headtubes, pressfit or threaded bottom brackets, and thru-axle or quick release dropouts. Pricing will start at $1799.
So, talk to us. For the next month you get the best of everything: our current pricing and you'll have a bike before you know it!]]>
Enter: Chris Ellefson aka Mini Bear. He's the only other guy in the photo up top. With the same passion and drive as Aaron in an almost foot shorter package, Chris packs a serious cycling nerd punch. Ounce for ounce, he'll out geek anyone when it comes to cycling. Seriously. With this addition, Stinner FW has the makings of a regular cycling dream team. To celebrate his first week at the shop, we went out and did it right by turning what was supposed to be a hangover cruise into a 100-miler. Then some beer and a beach.
Most importantly M. Bear has doubled the workforce here at the shop. What this means for our customers is the best customer service around. While Aaron slaves away behind a welding helmet, Chris takes care of everything else. When you call the shop, you'll most likely hear his voice. When you send an email, he's getting back to you asap. If you get a complete bike from us, it's his seasoned hands putting it together. It's all in his title: customer concierge.
The extra manpower is also letting us put energy into some fun projects that you'll see roll out over the next couple months. Keep your eyes peeled.
Most importantly: we moved into an amazing new shop space! We're talking a big step up. Our space has nearly tripled and we've got a great work space, shared with an awesome neighbor, and a showroom and fit space to boot. All done up in a perfectly off-the-mark 1970's California lodge feel. And the locale is right in the heart of Goleta, also known as the Goodland. We're still settling into the space, so we're not putting out the glamour shots yet, but keep an eye out for a big party announcement shortly…
The change is also allowing Stinner FW do some pretty rad stuff in the very near future. Some of the moves we're keeping close to the vest for now, so watch the blog for those. Or you might sneak a few hints on the ol' social interwebs before we roll them out for reals.
In the meantime, come on down to the Goodland Lodge! Roll in to say hi, hang out, eat lunch, watch tv, come on a ride, take a nap, creep around, whatever. We'll be here!
You can read a more in depth story over on The Radavist.
Which brings me to Tony. Tony is a professor at UCSB, which happens to be a stones through away from where I live and build. Tony used to play football for Stanford, so the guy knows how to put some power out. He's also about 6'6" and a healthy/lean 220lbs. Local, athlete and tall. I was on cloud 9.
So we talked, I got to know what he was all about. What made him tick and what he needed from a frame. I took his measurements and he let me do my thing. We kept in touch while he waited, but he left everything up to me.
Tony was pretty excited when he got his bike. So was I. Every customer is a great customer, don't get me wrong, but the fact that Tony and I are close to the same height, we instantly clicked.
Here are some photos of his rig. Enjoy!
I hope everyone is enjoying the summer sun and getting out for a ride or two!

It was HOT (temperature) this year! Normally, I would probably wuss out and head to cooler locations, like the finish, to watch. However, this year, I had the pleasure of having John Watson of The Radavist , Jeremy Dunn of Rapha North America and Matt Miller of Hazardous Taste come hang out. These guys were anxious to get out of the car and go ride. I couldn't blame them. So we headed to the mountains to watch the race come over the KOM. I also got to take them up Old San Marcos. A first for John and second time for Jeremy after he took the Ladies of Rapha up it for their pre ATOC ride.

We were running out of time, so we hammered up the climb. The heat did not help. We got to the top with a few minutes to spare and then watched the cyclists come over the top. I wonder how many bottles they wen't through? The lead group was looking pretty selective. Not too much big "sprinter" fire power, so I had a feeling something special might happen. And boy did it! Go Taylor!
After the climb I took John and Jeremy down to Cold Springs tavern for a beer and some water. I think we drank three or four pitchers of ice water, ate some chili, drank a Coors and then headed on our way home. All in all, it was a fun few hours that we got to squeeze into the day. Hopefully next time they come through we can get a full day of riding in.
You can see more photos and read more about the ride at The Radavist.
"So it's been about 2 months since I received the frame and I've put a bunch of miles on it so far . In all honesty , this frame totally exceeded my expectations in every way ! It seems as if it has all the best qualities of all the bikes that I've had . Super stable at high speeds and when I throw into corners, it'll hold it's line perfectly . Climbing is a breeze and feels so much easier than before ! Thanks for making such a kick ass frame and for delivering on all of my expectations ! I've included a picture of it built up! Thanks again !"
Just so you know, I live for these emails. I think Elroy would agree, its worth the wait!
Here is a picture of his bike all built up.
I've been wanting to bend some tubing for some time. Not big swoops and swirls, but small gentle curves that add a simple aesthetic. So I thought this was the perfect opportunity to start bending. With Michael's approval, I went for it.
After scraping a handful of good cromoly, I finally bent the tubing I was going to use for the frame. It was a ton of fun and an awesome learning experience. This frame turned out 10x better than I thought it was going to and I'm really happy with it.
So what is it? It's a single speed 29er cruiser with disc brakes. I was going for an old moto guzzi look that will look pretty sweet cruising the streets and bike paths on the way to your favorite watering hole. I can't wait for the guys over at Heritage to get it all built up. It should be great.
Such a good song. Such a good singer! His new CD will be out May 6th, can't wait.

Excellent concert of jazz and pop tunes, cleverly arranged and beautifully sung. The choir is smaller than usual, so there were more total ensemble numbers, but the quality of musicianship and entertainment was top notch. It was a thoroughly engaging evening of music. Kudos to the 3 with the accompanying "cup and clap" rhythms... an amazing thing to watch and listen to!

Stall at Glasto[edit]
- Have changed the bit at bottom about the paper having a stall at Glastonbury, they don't, but they do have them at most festivals.
- They used to. Wasn't the alt stage called the NME stage in the early 90s? I remember them giving out free NMEs from their stall. --kingboyk 04:51, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
- you mean the other stage —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 19:56, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
"British music became dull and uninventive" - do I hear someone say POV? Joolz 20:14, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- agreed. this article is fawning of the magazine. in truth many observers are very critical of the direction that the NME has taken. Electing Pete Doherty to be the "Coolest Man of Rock" in 2004 was especially controversial as the man is a self confessed crack addict. Also, the late 90s and early 2000s the NME championed many new bands that would not get a smigin of attention now - Mogwai and Godspeed You! Black Emperor both obtained front pages during those days, something that would be unheard of for post-rock acts now. Other popular indie acts during the late 90s, such as Symposium and Idlewild, were certainly not dull or uninventive. They now tend, IMO, to establish very safe acts which sell well on MTV and on the Radio - the Libertines, The Strokes or Muse for example.
- - Yeah, the NME briefly put much more emphasis on underground music between 'Britpop' and the 'New Rock Revolution'. Theyve lost a lot of credibility since then and websites like Pitchfork seem to be the main source of information for more discerning Indie fans now. I think the NME has successfully found a niche though.
- This article needs a lot of work. Snooo 02:52, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- I replaced the offending sentance but it still needs more work. --Moochocoogle 16:05, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- I don't agree that the NME champions "safe acts" (who, realistically, thinks that Pete Doherty is a good role model?) - rather that any band that can be deemed new and cool is now picked up by the mainstream a lot faster than previously, and is then marketed and promoted to death because "new" and "cool" sell very well at the moment. It's not as if the NME has suddenly gone all Smash Hits and is hyping James Blunt...
- Do agree that the article could use a bit of work - but it's fundamentally sound, IMHO.
Does anyone care to mention that NME is biased leaning towards racist? Giving Nas' second album and Raekwon's Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang grades of around 5/10 is pretty brutal. I've noticed many many other low scores given to rap albums. Could the article say that NME isn't a music magazine for all genres, it is a British magazine for guitar music? Seriously, 5/10 or some shit.
Really really hot[edit]
"...even attracting a rather obsessive fanbase online because they are really really hot."
- Yeah. Not just really hot. Really really hot. Can we fix this? Stan weller 07:43, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
- I think it was vandalism. I removed it. Thanks for pointing it out, it is often tough to spot subtle vandalism like that.--Commander Keane 07:48, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
NME tour 2006[edit]
I can assure the person who keeps editing the NME tour 2006 that the aforementioned
- 2006: Maxïmo Park, Arctic Monkeys, We Are Scientists, Mystery Jets will be part of the NME tour.
The line However McNicholas has been criticised for dropping journalist standards and concentrating on more commercial and tabloid press aspects. In December 2005 accusations were made that the NME end of year poll had been edited for commercial and political reasons. These criticisms have not affected the sales of the paper or stopped McNicholas from winning industry awards. was edited as being NPOV by an anon user. Seeing as the accusation links to a news story in The Guardian and was reported elsewhere, it strikes me that this is entirely legitimate to include in the article.
Anyone else agree, if there's an obvious consensus then it should stay as it highlights the current criticisms of the paper.
This should stay if it is properly referenced to the Guardian article.--TheCooperman 23:23, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
While I broadly agree that 'journalistic' standards have been dropped in a way NME has had to move with the times. The idea of Rock Journalism seems very old fashioned now. I think if there are any legitimate criticisms then we can put a section in regarding this but I can't find any in the mainstream media. Ketha
I would agree that the standards in the NME have suffered a major drop in quality under its current ed. I think the last decent artical i read in the NME was about kasabian when they were still a small supporting act, and the best part of the interview took part in there tiny dressing room. Is it just me or does anyone see a pattern in the fact that this indie rave movment is getting alot of press when you consider the ed's prior work - steven
I think Henry Rollins' account of an interview(referred to in "Smile, you're travelling") he gave to one of the NME's "journalists" is the best illustration of said rag's ethos; the interviewer was telling him that good music was cheap, pointless, and disposable, and that "Monolithic" stuff like the Rollins band was killing music. Rollins responded by asking him how he rated the disposability factor of, say, Aretha Franklin or Al Green, to which the journo "Didnt have an awful lot to say about that".
NME Awards[edit]
The NME awards were called 'the Brat Awards' for a short time and were reinstated as a backlash against the universally derided industry yawn-fest Brit Awards. I think this should be noted.
- I am curious at the statement in the article that the NMW poll winners concerts ceased in 1966. I helped run the PA for Charlie Watkins (WEM) at the 1970 NME Poll Winners Concert that was headlined by Cliff Richard and the Shadows, which would seem to indicate that the 1966 date is incorrect. Any cites around to clear this up? 21stCenturyGreenstuff (talk) 15:02, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
- Never mind, I have searched the web and found programmes for sale relating to the 1958/59 and 1969/70 concerts. I am pretty certain the concerts continued at least as late as 1972 but cannot find proof yet. 21st CENTURY GREENSTUFF 13:40, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
covering "pop" acts[edit]
NME has always covered so-called "pop" acts. Lily Allen is not an exception to this. Kylie, Mel C, Destiny's Child and many more have all featured on the cover (to the derision of indie-snob fans). Other cover stars include Aphex Twin, Mogwai, Godspeed, Napster(!) and Ken Livingstone. It is an elitist group of snobs who despise all music except "four haircuts and a guitar" droneage that are critical of NME's covering of bands and artists that sell as well as what is "cool".
POV Violation[edit]
It seems that this has been a consistent problem here. I through the tag on because, well, among some of the forementioned problems, you get this statement in the first paragraph "It gained underground popularity in particular during the punk era but has recently been making up music scenes and championing incredibly mediocre rock bands in a pathetic attempt to sell more copies." This needs some work, as well as many other things.
-It cannot be denied that they have a habit-like many influential members of the media- to decide what today will be "pop". The "indie snobs" are people who beleive that the magazine ignores anything that is not part of the "scene" at this moment or time.
- eg:The recent emo music onslaught that was first laughed at but now seems to be the new "scene".
It does need a little work. But I find it hard to fix it without pointing out they were pushing forward Pete Doherty and the likes.
Comments removed[edit]
I've removed some of the more curious and unencyclopaedic comments, namely "these affected McNicholas' relentless self-belief" and the utterly bizarre paragraph about NME readers' hairstyles. RobinCarmody, 06:16 GMT, 12 November 2006
The Enemy[edit]
Have deleted the following statement, and slightly rewritten the paragraph in which it was included, as it suggests that the moniker was an invention of the punk movement:
The NME was seen as The Enemy and very much part of the music establishment that Punk was rebelling against.
The term was in fact already in use in the mid-60s by jazz musicians who were critical of the coverage NME was giving to pop/rock groups at the expense of jazz. 18.104.22.168 23:07, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Rock 'n' Roll Riot Tour[edit]
This started as late as 2004 - not 2006 as stated. I can;t remember who was on the lineups though - Prehaps someone can correct it. I half rememeber Razorlight doing 2004 and Kaiser Chiefs in 2005 if that will help jog any memories... --Donald V 18:11, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Criticism, anyone?[edit]
I know Wikipedia is meant to be neutral. But there is plenty of criticism that can be thrown at that awful magazine - for example, a few years back they faked there awards so bands that NME liked won rather than bands it didn't. It also has been accused of having an obscene interest in not only pop-indie bands but pop bands and selling out, so it can no longer be accused of being the word on indie music.
Many 'indie-kids' like myself have grown tired of the bullshit that feel their pages. The magazine is so vacuous that it can take less than 10 minutes to read through. So where's the criticism? It's still worth while even it's tiny. Recently wikipedia has become white-washed because of it's neutrality and ends up promoting usually brands like NME. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 08:57, 20 March 2007 (UTC).
- I also think their bias is shocking. I can try to calculate what issue it was, but when the Arctic Monkey's first album came out, it was declared the 5th greatest British album of all time (in an article about the 100 best British albums ever) three DAYS after the album was released... Logic dictates that the article was written/published before the thing was even released. The reviews also contain a lot of hypocrisy, a Good Charlotte album "Chronicles of Life and Death" got 0/10, but were called a great singles band the next issue. In a recent issue, they blasted Linkin Park's latest album for stuff like talking about Mike Shinoda being a multi-millionaire talking about the price of gas, yet these "working class" British bands they champion aren't exactly poor themselves surely.
More criticism of the NME. Linkin Park's album went straight to #1 in the UK charts (http://www.theofficialcharts.com/top40_albums.php), yet NME.com are clearly denying it (http://www.nme.com/news/nme/28469 - they say Amy Winehouse is first). Could this be because they gave it 2/10, therefore had little affect in influencing the chart?
NME is run by imbeciles for imbeciles. I stopped reading it a long time ago. One could comply a vast list of greviances against this piss poor excuse for a magazine. And, yes, it does fabricate chart positions. Imagine - it only gave Nine Inch Nails' Year Zero 5/10. Tossers!
I think a criticism section is warranted. Seeing as there is plenty of material for it --18.104.22.168 16:12, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
Agreed - at least 75% of the people I know despise and criticize NME, the other 25% don't know what it is. In fact, I could've sworn there was a criticism section in existence just a few months ago...Arkyopterix 08:15, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
There was, i remember reading it!--22.214.171.124 00:59, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
NME is a pile of crap!! I read one issue and it's nothing to do with actual music, it's just a gossip magazine surrounding the lives of celebrities involved with music. Like HEAT MAGAZINE!! Besides they conduct pointless "best album ever" lists every week. And they always have crap albums up there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 16:51, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
The page reads like a badly-written official bio. There's next to no criticism, and there is plenty going about (as the above comments show). Could do with tidying up and having its POV balanced imo. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 11:50, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
How exactly does the phrase "In 2006 NME won the CocaCola best magazine this century award" count as criticism? I am removing it.3fingeredPete (talk) 19:40, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
Has anyone else seen that Pitchfork review of Konk by The Kooks that got put up today? The reviewer put some critiscism of the style of artist the NME pushes (and we all know what he's on about). I'd definiely advocate putting it in this article, but I wouldn't want to go and do it just for it to be deleted by some 13 year-old Kaiser Chiefs fan. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 21:38, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
I would like to add to critiscism that an NME writer wrote "Ska-punk is the worst thing I have heard." They have received some dislike for this comment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 16:34, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
Someone keeps deleting the ska-punk comment. Whoever is doing this could you explain your reasons as to why? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Disposableandy (talk • contribs) 16:04, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
Morrissey posted a savage response to NME's allegations that he was a racist in 2008, where he criticized their shoddy journalism and tabloid style. I think it should be introduced to the article but I am lazy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 12:34, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
I've never read it so I cant really criticize it. But Luke Lewis is.. For lack of a better word, stupid. I do know there was some contreversy with My Chemical Romance though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 04:51, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
Morrissey's Outburst[edit]
What's the deal with this section..? 1337wesm (talk) 04:41, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
- There's some sort of spat going on between Morrissey, the NME and one of the NME's journalists about what Morrisey did or did not say in an interview. Whatever the rights and wrongs of that, the amount of space devoted to it here is wildly over the top. BTLizard (talk) 12:41, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
The NME Forum[edit]
I removed the section on the forum as it was clearly nonsensical. Miniexcel (talk) 21:45, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
- True though. --Disregarddill (talk) 11:59, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
When did New Musical Express become NME?[edit]
The article implies the paper was called NME from 1952. I think it was called only New Musical Express, with the initialism "NME" not appearing on the cover until the 1970s. Randall Bart Talk 03:46, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
It says that Conor McNicholas is the editor, yet on his page, it says he is now the editor of BBC Top Gear Magazine. Any suggestions on how to solve this? --Flashflash; 19:34, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
Regional Role[edit]
I admit this is from my own POV ... I am a forgotten NME columnist from the early '70s, reporting to Tony Tyler. However, it is my humble opinion that NME was the first music paper to develop and support music properly from beyond London, making some brave decisions on provincial reviews, regional news and local hero interviews which the rest of the music press simply were closed to. So can I suggest that someone does the research necessary to comemmorate this - I can't 'cos I wuz there?! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peterphillips (talk • Pete (talk) 23:13, 13 June 2012 (UTC)contribs) 23:08, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Maghreb women fear regression of rights
At the Global Counter-Terrorism Forum, presidential advisor Kamel Rezzag Bara stressed the global implications of growing terrorist activity in the Sahel. African Union envoy Francisco Caetano Jose Madeira urged greater participation by the UN, the AU, and the European Union in addressing the problem. EU envoy Gilles De Kerchove warned that interactions between terrorists and criminal networks were making both stronger, and said the EU was sending 60 border control trainers to southern Libya, which is becoming a "sanctuary for terrorist groups."
The Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa (MUJAO), an al Qaeda splinter group, offered to swap a kidnapped Algerian diplomat for three Islamist fighters being held in Algeria. Presidential advisor Kamal Rezzag Bara refused the offer, saying that Algeria does not negotiate with or make concessions to terrorists. MUJAO kidnapped seven Algerian consular staff members in Mali in April 2012; one has been killed, three have been released, and three are still being held captive.
Failure to understand Islam at root of extremism, terrorism in Sahel, says Mechria
Foreign Minister Medelci said Algeria and Tunisia are coordinating to secure their shared border, under a security plan implemented three weeks ago. Some 20 key border crossings in the southern region have been identified among over 80 used by terrorists and weapons smugglers. Interior Minister Kabila said Tunisia is now confronting al Qaeda-linked militants near its southern border with Algeria who entered Tunisia from Mali, but that "Algeria doesn't intervene in Tunisian affairs."
Algeria looks to jump-start tourism
Bouteflika's absence leaves Algeria pondering future
US offers rewards for Boko Haram, African al Qaeda leadersThe $7 million reward for Abubakar Shekau, Boko Haram's emir, puts him in the top echelon of wanted terrorist leaders. Rewards of $5 million are also offered for Mokhtar Belmokhtar and Yahya Abu Hammam.

Al Qaeda's scathing letter to troublesome employee Mokhtar Belmokhtar reveals inner workings of terrorist group
Security forces arrested three Tunisian members of Ansar al Sharia in El Taref as they attempted to enter Algerian territory using false passports and traveling in two vehicles. They were wanted in connection with recent events in Kairouan and Ettadhamen City. Four men who kidnapped 32 European tourists and broke into an Algerian prison in 1994, freeing 1,200 prisoners, will appear in court on May 28; the four said the attacks were planned by a terrorist group headed by Nabil Sahraoui alias Abu Ibrahim.
Belmokhtar's unit participated in Niger suicide attacksMokhtar Belmokhtar is alive, and announced that his al Mua'qi'oon Biddam, or Those Who Sign in Blood Brigade, carried out the suicide assaults in Niger in conjunction with MUJAO.
MUJAO suicide bombers hit uranium mine, barracks in NigerThe al Qaeda-linked Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa said the suicide attacks were intended to punish Niger for "cooperation with France in the war against Sharia" in Mali.
Islamist politician calls for ailing Algerian president to show self after 3 week absence
A court sentenced 14 Malians from Kidal and Gao to 20 years in prison for joining a terrorist group that targets Algeria, ostensibly al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. The fighters had tried to enter Algeria in Illizi in January, and were arrested by authorities, who seized 74 Kalashnikovs, 41 FMs, 2 RPGs, 185 RPG missiles, and 123 anti-tank missiles. The suspects claimed they had obtained the weapons in Libya and were on their way to Mali as AZAWAD members to fight the French.

Do you have too much stuff? Are you making a move and looking for storage options? If so, the fist thing you will need to determine is how much storage space you need.
As you are going through your things ask yourself if you really need to store everything, or is it better to donate or sell some things. This could cut down on the amount of storage space needed and ultimately reduce the cost.
Once you determine which items will be stored take an inventory of your items. Make a list and have this information ready when you start calling storage companies.
So what size storage unit will you need? Here are some standard sizing options that most storage companies use. Always check with your company first.
- 5 x 5 x 10 = Small items, boxes, books, etc…
- 5 x 10 x 10 = Small 1 bedroom home
- 10 x 10 x 10 = 1 bedroom home
- 10 x 15 x 10 = 2-3 bedroom home
- 10 x 20 x 10 = 3-4 bedroom home
- 10 x 30 x 10 = 5-7 bedroom home
Note: the measurements above are represented as L x W x H in feet

While watching television you see an advertisement encouraging you to install vinyl siding on your home, and eliminate the need to ever paint your house again. You may then ask yourself, why vinyl sidings? Unlike wood, this is a very durable form of wall finishing that does not require painting, therefore eliminating the ongoing flaking and peeling. Over time, vinyl siding has become very popular, available in many different colors and styles, and is widely accepted in the United States.
Here are some reasons why vinyl siding is an excellent option:
Beauty: Vinyl siding comes in a wide variety of colors and textures. Some are designed to have the look of wood, stone or slate, while others are designed to accentuate the best features on the house. The right combination of color and design will add beauty to any style of house. For example, it is used in the renovation of historic homes as it presents the user with a wider range of choices to achieve their desired look.
Durability: Vinyl siding is very durable, having the ability to withstand cold, moisture, as well as resist heat without losing its aesthetic value. Vinyl siding has been well tested and proven to withstand winds of up to 200 mph. The life time warranty offered by most manufacturers is a clear testament to the products durability.
Sustainability: When compared to other exterior cladding options, vinyl siding surpasses them as a greener option. As a result of its potential of reducing thermal bridging, it plays an important role in the building of ENERGY STAR qualified homes.
Maintenance: Vinyl siding requires a very low maintenance cost. There is no need for periodic repainting, it only needs to be cleaned once in a while as needed. It does not decay and is not subject to degradation. Washing with mild soap and water typically brings back its luster.
Affordable: Despite the fact that vinyl siding provides users with lots of options, it is very affordable. It has a lower installation cost in comparison to other external cladding materials as well as a longer life expectancy. Recent studies show that most home renovators prefer to use vinyl siding for their projects as it is the most versatile when it comes to home renovations.
Safety: Vinyl siding is very safe to use. This was emphasized by the Vinyl Siding Institute when they stated that it is one of the few materials which complies with the stringent requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) with respect to electrical insulation.
When it comes to improving the exterior of your home, the desirable characteristics of vinyl siding should be considered. The popularity of this type of siding is a result of its merits far out weighing its faults.
We are all guilty of it, some worse than others. Homes all over America are brimming with clutter. Do the closets in your home trigger a small avalanche every time you open them? Are your basements and attics filled to capacity with boxes of your adult children's baby clothes and toys? Do you have holiday decorations from 25 years ago tucked away in corners of your home? The typical American has the tendency to hoard objects and it is becoming an epidemic.
Most of us have more objects entering the house than we have exiting the house. It does not take long before all this stuff over burdens the storage systems in the home. We just keep shopping and bringing in more stuff than we are getting rid of. Eventually our counters are muddled with papers, our cabinets are stuffed to the max, and our garage is no longer a place we can store the car. Instead the garage is just another room filled to capacity with boxes and bins of junk.
All this clutter is suffocating us and stealing our time and energy. It complicates our life and causes stressful situations when we spend our time searching for missing items. Clutter can impact our social life as well, making us afraid to let our friends into our home. It's time to simplify our life and get rid of the clutter! By clearing out the clutter in your home you begin to reclaim your space and your time. Living a simplified life with less stuff will allow you to live in harmony with out all the chaos. Own less and live more, keep it simple.

Pitchfork Fest Reveals Environmental Initiatives
By Tom Breihan on June 10, 2011 at 2:30 p.m. EDT
The Pitchfork Music Festival is only about a month away. It takes over Chicago's Union Park July 15-17, with a lineup that includes Animal Collective, TV on the Radio, Fleet Foxes, Neko Case, DJ Shadow, Cut Copy, Guided By Voices, the Dismemberment Plan, OFWGKTA, and many others. Three-day passes are sold out, but single-day tickets are still available here.
In addition to providing a rewarding experience to music fans, the Pitchfork Music Festival takes its responsibility to the environment seriously, and we encourage our audience, musicians, and vendors to do the same. Last year, PMF recycled 42% of waste by weight (10 tons), and this year, the goal is to break 50%. The following are some steps we're taking to ensure that our environmental "footprint" is as small as possible.

When you purchase a high-end storage array, it is not generally advised that you half fill the racks and then forget about it, purchasing a new empty rack to fill when next you need high-end storage.
Knowing how the firmware is configured on a BIG-IP, we can chat about some of the more interesting aspects of hardware, firmware, and devices overall. One of the truly interesting bits to me is the proclivity of many organizations to purchase a high-end, bladed ADC system and not fill the rack. I remember way back in the day when my cohorts in the networking and storage (FC SAN) spaces had to worry about the backplane on a switch and how much it could actually handle compared to the sum of the ports you could put on the front. But that isn't as much a concern with ADCs (or much of anything else these days), purpose-built devices tend to have plenty of bandwidth on the backplane, and you don't buy an ADC based off of commoditized hardware that you expect to drop blades into.
But there are a reasonably large number of organizations that have purchased a bladed ADC and then either done nothing more with it than the original purpose, or gone out and bought separate ADCs (normally from the same vendor!) to do new tasks.
And the question there is… Are you really maximizing your infrastructure that way?
We are going through a whole cycle of storage consolidation because our storage needs were met in this manner. There was corporate storage, divisional storage, departmental storage, and in many places team storage, all growing at the same time with no oversight and lots of "we're completely out of space" at one level while another was overflowing.
We, as an industry, need to apply the lessons learned there to our usage of ADCs. Sure, you might have purchased that blade rack for project X, but when you kick off project Y, do you really want to purchase all new hardware, or could you drop a couple of new blades into the rack and use any of the methods various vendors offer to partition off those blades as separate entities? Of course you could. And it would normally be more economically feasible. Of course there are cases where you can show going a different route might cost less, but there are some other considerations to be made. Like power consumption of a whole new device versus a blade, and management of a whole new device versus another interface on an existing device, and of course the cost of setting up and configuring a whole new device versus utilizing the configuration already in place for the other blades and modifying it.
From the F5 perspective, we have attempted to minimize the pain of an all-new configuration with iApps, a very cool feature that handles the details for you, but they won't initially configure the device, and blades will do a lot of that configuration for you. Indeed, if you are just expanding the capacity of an existing environment, that is automatic. Only if you're doing new things – new apps, new ADC functionality, new segmentation – do you have to do configuration. If you're not an F5 customer, you can of course check with your vendor, but I'm willing to bet you'll have less work putting blades into existing chassis.
And don't forget that a modern ADC is capable of doing a lot of things. If you're looking for new LAN/WAN/security/application delivery functionality, check into what can go into your ADC rack while you're looking at other options. It is entirely possible that the ADC you have could perform the functionality you need, with a single (or simplified) management interface, leaving staff more time to deal with the 10 million other issues that come up in an IT shop in the course of a year. If your ADC is underutilized, it might just be possible that you could start using your ADC for the given purpose with just a license key, saving even more time, and likely some money too.

Microsoft Surface - how do people feel about it?
Likes # 0
Posted October 16, 2012 at 10:00PM
Microsoft's tablet will be released in 10 days time. They've only just released the (American) pricing info which is:
$499 for the basic 32GB model without the keyboard (or $599 with keyboard).
$699 for the 64GB model with keyboard.
I really want it to do well. I think it's a great innovative device and I hate the way Apple conducts its business in such monopolistic ways, so I'd like to see some more worthy competition out there alongside the Android tablets (which, apart from a select few, are performing quite poorly).
I don't think they've priced it right though. It costs the same as an iPad, and people just aren't going to give it a chance without a good reason to do so. I think its biggest selling feature is the keyboard/cover (not that I know whether it's actually any good or not, but I'm sure it will be) and I think they should at least include this with every model, without charging $100 more.
And then that still leaves the problem of app support. People aren't going to want to spend lots of money on a tablet that has poor app support, and app writers are going to be reluctant to develop for a platform that has few users. I felt their only chance to break in to the market was to release a device that was just simply too good to resist (like what Google has achieved with the Nexus 7), but at those prices it just isn't.
Also, if I've understood the reports properly, with the exception of the Microsoft stores in the US, the Surface will be available online only. Surely by selling it on the high street, store assistants will be one of their best methods of pushing the device?
It will be interesting to see what happens.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I realize "typography workshop" is very vague, which is why I'm looking for input from others who have attended or even assembled workshops for events like TypeCon, et al.
I'm on the board of directors for our local chapter of AIGA in Nebraska (USA). I'd like to consider hosting a one-day or two-day workshop that would allow our local design community to dive deeper into typography-related learning than what is available at most 4-year schools. Obviously I'm not looking to make them experts in 7 hours, but I would at least like to let them get their hands dirty doing something they wouldn't normally do.
The key thing to keep in mind is that our community likes to be able to walk away with something tangible as a measuring stick of what they learned. We have less success with the abstract design lecturers (Ellen Lupton), and better success with speakers who offer something tangible (Jim Sherraden from Hatch Show Print brought his woodblocks for a printing workshop).
Does anyone have any success stories to share, or ideas for topics that would be great for advanced non-type-designers? Modular typeface development? Lettering? Is anyone familiar with this: http://www.thetypestudio.com/workshops.html
Ilene Strizver does great workshops and seminars through The Type Studio. She has held a number of "Gourmet Typography" workshops around the country and they always get a great response. The TDC has offered her workshop many times in NYC, with much success. I believe several AIGA chapters have hosted her workshops as well.
I know she also does customized typography workshops for corporations as well.
Class size would be a factor. How many participants?
Thanks terminal for confirming that Ilene is a great presenter!
Sii, the class size would be no more than 40; realistically in the 20-ish range. The more people, the more chance we have of breaking even on paying for event costs, but my first and foremost goal is to just make it a great workshop.
20+ people is a lot for a hand-on typography workshop. If you plan on having multiple presenters it might make sense to rotate smaller groups people through the workshops.
Yep what James said. No more than 10 participants in a getting dirty and coming away with something activity. Rotate.
I've seen Ilene do great workshops with 30+ people.
What I found quite rewarding – and truely tangible – when I held one-week seminars to undergraduate students was this: everyone to bring a dozen of potatos and a sharp knife. I provided simple A-Z sample sheets of some good typefaces. And the students were to cut these letters into the potato halfs and then stamped some posters with it. They enjoyed it very much and I think, one learns a good deal about type shaping from it.
Though this more a beginner's exercise, naturally.
