light summer dress in striped cotton. My own pattern, inspired by 1950's sundresses.
I rotated the front darts to center front to let the stripes run parallel to the neckline.

As frequent traveler within the city who does like either driving or public transportation, I mostly rely on cabs for commute. Taxicabs arrived in 1911 to complement horse wagons. But many a time, I wished horse wagons continued their services. Infact, my folks used to tell me tales about how they used to travel in 'bullock carts'. With the current traffic situation in the Indian cities, that looks like a viable option.
I have a neutral opinion on most of the cab services in Bangalore. Taxicab service is a lucrative business. One can conveniently book a cab from the thousand companies listed on Google. What happens next? When the taxi should arrive at your doorstep, you get a call from a drunk driver that he has reached some place unknown to you, to pick you up. Most of the time, you have to wait outside, on the street waiting for the driver, while giving instructions over the phone (Sounds familiar? Remember the time in school/college when you would wait for your sweetheart.)
I am generally not a pessimist, nor do I whine that often. But after using the cab services Bangalore has to offer, I figured that sharing my experiences with the said subject, mostly bitter ones, may prove to be beneficial to other souls like me.
Are they able to deliver as many cabs required by the people of these cities? Ummmm No. Big NO. Here's how it usually goes - You are charmed by the name and expect to hire a 'Taxi for Sure'. You call the customer care no 60601010, they would make you 'wait for sure'. After about 5 to 10 minutes of listening to the 60601010 jingle, if you're lucky enough to get past all levels of Interactive Voice Response (IVR), be rest assured you'll hear, "Sorry, we don't have a taxi for sure!"Out of 10 calls that I make to Taxi For Sure, 3 are ignored; meaning, they 'don't have a taxi for sure' in my area.
I have to admit that compared to other taxi services in Bangalore, Taxi For Sure is leading in the area of reliability (you can imagine how the other cab services are). Still, I would suggest that you avoid it if you need a cab on an urgent basis (unless you don't want to be engulfed in a murderous rage).
My humble suggestion to Taxi For Sure management is - Increase the number of cars before increasing the number of cities!
There was a time when Meru Cabs were very reliable. They started their services in the city long before Bangalore airport was shifted to Hebbal. What went wrong? Meru Cabs diverted their attention towards the new Bengaluru International Airport. The longer the distance the more money they could make! So if you are looking for a pick-up and drop within the city of Bangalore, feel free to avoid Meru Cabs as well.
In last five years, I tried to book a Meru Cabs over a dozen times. If it's the airport, they readily agree to transport you. For any other location, their standard response is, "No cabs available in your area and you can 'Rely On Us' on that!"
There have been times when I had waited for hours, but the cab seemed to have pulled Houdini, despite receiving a confirmation on the previous day. It's been a while since I bade them goodbye.
Easy Cabs are easy to locate with their yellow sticker in the cars. In Bangalore you might miss spotting a celebrity, but never an Easy Cab. They claim that they are India's # 1 personal ground transportation service provider. But most of the time they are actually transporting the drivers alone - the backseat usually remains empty.I am yet to try taxicab companies like Ola Cabs, Mega Cabs, Yellow Cabs etc. But first I have to get through their phone lines on a rainy day.
Easy Cabs customer care (43434343) respond faster compared to other taxi services. Although sometimes it is difficult to understand their English, they would assure you that you will get a 'Cab Easily' through them. They claim to have more than 6500 cabs. So what's there to worry?
And then the waiting begins. Forget about 'easy', you might not even see a 'difficult cab'. Here's a funny incident - I booked an Easy Cab on Oct 14, 2014 for the next day to take me from my premises in Koramangala to Mahadevapura in Bangalore. The booking was confirmed for 8:15 AM on Oct 15, 2014. I got a confirmation message with a booking ID. Next day I received the driver details about one hour before the pick-up time and happily waited for the driver to arrive. When the cab didn't show up by 8:15 AM, I called the driver. He said he was on the way and mumbled something in a language that I couldn't decipher. I called the Easy Cab customer care. I was put on hold for nearly 5 mins; then an executive said that the cab will arrive in another 10 mins. When that didn't happen, I called the driver again. This time he sounded drunk and muttered something again. I called the customer care again. This time the customer care person said that no cabs are available in my area.
Naturally irritated, I disconnected the call and traveled in an auto rickshaw. At 9:00 AM I received another message from Easy Cabs with updated driver details. I chose to ignore that, as I was already on my way. A little later, I got another call from Easy Cabs. The person on the other end said, "Please wait for half an hour, we are looking for another cab for you". By that time I had reached my destination.
My suggestion to Easy Cabs will be, "Change your name from Easy Cabs to Easy Calls!"
In Bangalore, it is sometimes easy to get a taxi on a weekday after 11 AM. It is also easy to get a cab to drop you at the airport. But be prepared to be ditched by cabs services if you are in some kind of emergency. Another heads up - never rely on a cab service if you are stuck somewhere and want to reach to your family at home on a rainy day.
Smaller cities like Shillong have shared taxi services which are cheap. Bangalore too can adopt the idea of having Yellow-colored cabs like Kolkata and Mumbai. Relying on a cab for sure will be easy for the commuters. On a different note, I am contemplating on investing in a bicycle. That should give me enough content for another blog post.

Holy Week in Haiti
by Jorge L. F. Domingues
It was Tuesday morning. Since Palm Sunday I have been experiencing Holy Week in a different way from previous years. I have been preparing for my first trip to Haiti, which is also my first trip as Deputy General Secretary nominated to lead the Mission and Evangelism Program of Global Ministries. The trip to Haiti gave me a special insight into Jesus' walk to the cross. I saw His experience of death and resurrection re-lived by the people of Haiti. I felt I was about to meet Him again in the suffering of that people.
I traveled to Haiti through the Dominican Republic. That morning, as my flight was about to take off, the sky was cloudy, with some rain approaching, even though the sun was persistently shining. My little French was coming back in my mind and I wished I could speak Creole. With a series of bumps, we were suddenly off the ground, in God's hands. Below I saw Santo Domingo, the poor neighborhoods close to the airport, and wondered how the other side of the island of Hispaniola would compare.
That morning I had read the passage about Jesus in the temple watching the widow offering her two last coins. Her gift of life was much more valuable than the riches of the wealthy. It had made me think about what we are giving to Haiti. Charity? Or a gift of life? The possibility of rebuilding that nation with justice and dignity? Our love has to turn into action.
I landed in Haiti excited and anxious for what I would encounter. I started the day thinking of the widow and her gift of life, and kept seeing her in person all day long in Port-au-Prince. The plane was still high and I could see signs that I had crossed the border into Haiti. Bare mountains and dried rivers like those in the desert of Arizona--no vegetation. But I was in the tropical Caribbean, not the desert! Something was wrong with that picture. Or is it the Earth crying the pain of devastation, the same pain that afflicts the people of Haiti?
When the plane was approaching the airport, flying over the capital, it was no longer the Earth that was crying. It was the city. The flattened buildings, the nonexistent roofs, the damaged structures caught my attention. It was a different cry. The first was the cry of nature violated by humans trying to escape poverty. The second is the cry of humans in poverty violated by nature. And they are so connected. Later that day I heard that areas with more trees were less devastated than areas with no vegetation because the trees absorbed the energy of the earthquake to some extent. Could it be true that the devastation of the environment has increased the devastation of the earthquake?
To arrive at a country that speaks two languages that you don't understand well is always tense. But there was something familiar in the air, which I couldn't identify until later. Suddenly, it came to me: I was back in Baixada Fluminense, in Caxias, the city in Brazil where I started my ministry. What a discovery! Without the language difference, I could swear that I traveled back 25 years to the periphery of Rio de Janeiro.
The car that picked me up at the airport started its journey to the Methodist Church of Haiti's office in Pétionville. And my first sight was one of the many tent camps housing people who had lost their homes. They are white and blue, in the thousands. Every flat space that was clear after the earthquake was covered with tents, and even the hillsides.
I once saw an image of the Exodus: Philippine domestic workers in Hong Kong on their day off. They met in the business center of the city to chat and eat together: thousands of women resting from wandering in the desert. Today I saw the tents of those living and wandering in the desert for 40 years, yearning for a new home. Once again the image of the desert in the Caribbean crossed my mind.
The car continued to snake through the traffic, and I started to see the signs of destruction, rubble along the streets. A collapsed building that had two or three floors was flattened as if a giant had sat on it. If there were people inside at the time of the earthquake, they couldn't have gotten out alive. If there had been people inside, their bodies were still there, because there were no signs that the building had been touched at all. And I realized that I was looking at a grave. All of this in a few seconds. My heart was pounding. My mind was spinning. Then I saw another collapsed building, and another, and another. Then I saw a row, a block, all full of rubble. But the randomness was distressing. Was it a lottery? Why did this building fall and not that one?
When we got to the school where the church office is I saw the children under blue tarps. Their classes had resumed out in the open, so they didn't lose the school year. What a beautiful sight. Beautiful smiles, bright eyes. No wonder Jesus said that from little children you would get perfect praise. Looking into their eyes, I wondered if they had experienced the earthquake as I was feeling it. The devastation was still there around us, but life had continued.
During the rest of the day, we went around the city and saw the same thing over and over again, in every neighborhood we crossed. But when we looked down at the city from the top of a mountain, we saw how the earthquake affected mostly the poorest people. Hillside communities (not different from the slums of Rio de Janeiro, like Rocinha) were flattened as if there had been a dry landslide. And suddenly I remembered the rainy season, the hurricanes. My God! What will happen to these people when the rains arrive? It is frightening to contemplate.
Finally, we were taken to the site of the Hotel Montana, the place where two of our Global Ministries colleagues lost their lives. My heart was again pounding, my hands trembling, my eyes watering. Seeing all the destruction of that rich neighborhood, I didn't feel the same sense of death I felt before, not to the same degree. There was no place destroyed which had not been touched, searched, cleared. We got to the red tall metal gate of the Hotel with a sign that said no one could enter. The security guard said, "It is not safe. It is private. You cannot enter."
Why? We needed to see the place we had so much imagined during those anguished days of January. But we were turned away from the gate. We stopped a few hundred meters from the Hotel at a clearing near the street, where we could see the poor hills again. There were thousands and thousands living there, in tents and shacks, many of which will not survive the rainy season. And suddenly it came to me. Like a voice whispering in my ears: "Those whom you came to look for here are gone to heaven. Look around. These are the people you are here to look after. These are my sheep without a shepherd. Look after them."
My God, my Jesus! I saw the widow again! I saw Jesus suffering and dying and resurrecting in the eyes of children! It was Holy Week in Haiti! And Jesus is Haitian!
On our second day in Port-au-Prince we were able to debrief our short but intense visit of the previous day with the President of the Methodist Church of Haiti and discuss plans for the near and remote future. There is so much to be done. Our presence and our work there are just a tiny piece of what is needed to be done.
Our visits and meetings gave a sense of the magnitude of the task and of the capacities and limitations of the church there. We learned of their compassion in the middle of their pain. Those whose houses were not affected have opened their land and gardens to families who lost their homes to put down tents and have a place to live. The school we visited opened its sports field to hundreds of families. They have more than a thousand students taking classes under tarps, under trees, and another community of more than two thousand living on the grounds. Solidarity is not lacking.
Going from one place to another, we saw that life had not stopped in its tracks: hundreds of street sellers, thousands hired to clear rubble, people coming and going everywhere. We saw tired eyes, bright smiles, and detected a hint of hope in the midst of anxiety for the near future.
And on the way to the airport to drop off Bishop Ough and Melissa Hinnen (the others on our team), we stopped at the Grace Children's Hospital and toured the damaged facilities. It was scary to be walking under ceilings and walls sustained by metal beams that could fall at any moment. But it was so humbling to see every inch of space that was minimally safe being used to continue serving children with disabilities, AIDS, and other conditions who continue to come every day. Before the earthquake they were attending to 300 patients per day. Now they are seeing only half that amount.
We came out of the damaged buildings and saw the medical tents outside. Under the tents were the patients, nurses, and doctors. We went under a blue tarp during lunch hour for disabled babies and toddlers. What a heartwarming image. What hope. We had just visited the destroyed maternity ward and imagined the panic of the little children during the earthquake. And now we saw their bright eyes and smiles even under the scorching heat of noon under the tarp. We left the place sweating and smiling, too.
After a day and a half, I was the only member of our team left. More meetings and plans. Conversations about the needs of the country and how the church can help. It is evident that the capacity is limited. Help is needed for organizing, but the energy is high. And my last night in Haiti came. I wished I could stay longer and visit more people. There was so much more I wanted to learn. But suddenly I heard the rain. It had rained every night of the week. It was a short rain, lasting less than an hour. We almost didn't notice it in the morning. But for those living in tents, the rain was a wake-up call, literally. The hurricane season is on its way and the rain can be the next disaster. I looked outside into the rain and felt the urge to pray. Please, God, pour your grace over this suffering people.
It was Good Friday. On the plane, I read the passage about the Stations of the Cross. In the evening I attended the service of the Way of the Cross at my church, St. Paul and St. Andrew UMC. Jesus' death is for our redemption, for the redemption of the people of Haiti. Oh, God! May your Son's resurrection be a sign of new life for the people of Haiti! May this be a Holy Week for that suffering country. May it be Holy Week in Haiti! May it be Easter in Haiti!

I have never used a PH before. Ive been doing alot of research lately and think i have some up with a decent PCT for each of the above PH's. For a first timer, what should I go with. I have had friends recommend me Finaflex but from what I have read, Epistane/Havoc seems to be a little less hardcore for a beginner but does it make that much of a difference.
Another question I would like to throw out there if possible is how does one obtain prescription nolvadex. I know you can buy nolvedex but I know its also not as good. I assume you have to go to a doctor and get tested and have it prescribed? Thanks in advance for the help, go easy on me guys haha

St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Office Spokesperson Captain Megan Vizena visited Eunice Elementary to speak to the children about anti-bullying and internet safety. She discussed different forms of bullying to children such as physical, verbal, cyber and emotional.
"Having a conversation about bullying is a good start. We want to give these students the chance to talk about what is happening in their schools," said Captain Vizena.
"It's our responsibility as role models to teach them how to resolve arguments without violent words or actions. These students need to know that they can report to their teacher or principal if they are being bullied," Vizena added.

One of the services that WorldFamilies.net provides is starting and managing surname projects where one doesn't exist at FTDNA. We also take over projects where the administrator is no longer able to manage them. We gladly turn these over to a family member who wishes to become the administrator. (or welcome them as co-administrator to learn the skills and take leadership at their pace) Note: some of these projects are also our personal ancestral surnames. We prefer to stay involved with them: Hunter, Steele, Stokes, Tyler, Waddell
We have prepared an admin guide that provides the basic information for those who choose to use our approach to manage a project through the three sites that we utilize: the FTDNA GAP page, our WorldFamilies.net project site and the Family Board and Pedigree Forum at WFNForum.net.

What is the SteamOS Game Operating System?
If you've been following game developer Valve's announcements this week, then you know that the company is planning a new operating system called SteamOS, a number of new machines to run it and a controller specialized for Steam.
Running a SteamOS system is not quite as straightforward as buying a new game console, or even gaming on a Windows PC or Mac. If you're scratching your head over the system's niceties, inner workings and possible benefits, look no further: Tom's Guide has provided answers in a convenient Q&A format.
MORE: 10 Fun, Cheap Steam Games for a Rainy Day
Q.: What is SteamOS?
A.: SteamOS is a new Linux-based operating system developed by Valve that will run only Steam and some video streaming services.
Q.: What is Steam?
A.: Steam is a digital download service for PC, Mac and Linux that sells video games and some development software. PC gamers favor Steam for its huge selection, user-friendly interface, integrated social features and frequent sales.
Q.: Why would I want to run SteamOS?
A.: SteamOS will be very lightweight, and is designed specifically with big-screen TVs in mind. It aims to split the difference between the diversity and low costs of PC gaming and the comfort and ease-of-use of console gaming. Hooking a SteamOS machine up to your TV may be easier than hooking up a Windows PC or Mac. Because many Steam games allow you to use a controller instead of a mouse and keyboard, a SteamOS system can offer you hundreds of games at a much lower price than a traditional console.
Q.: Why wouldn't I want to run SteamOS?
A.: As SteamOS is a Linux system, most of Steam's 2,000-plus game library is not available for the system at present. Furthermore, although SteamOS will have some video streaming services, it still won't offer as many features as a Windows or Mac computer out of the box. However, like many Linux systems, SteamOS allows users to "alter or replace any part of the software or hardware they want," according to Steam's announcement. This means that you'll need to be proficient in programming Linux systems (or comfortable user-made modifications) if you want to add features not included with SteamOS.
Q.: What games run on SteamOS?
A.: Any Steam game with Linux support should run on SteamOS, although Valve will pin down this list as the launch date approaches. There are roughly 300 Linux games available through Steam, including major titles like "Europa Universalis IV" and indie darlings like "Fez."
Q.: What games don't run on SteamOS?
A.: Although Valve may address this later on, its current announcements suggest that Windows- and Mac-based games will not run on SteamOS. The list of games that do not run on Linux is extensive: Series such as "BioShock," "Grand Theft Auto" and "Call of Duty" have no Linux support on Steam at present. If you want to check whether a game runs on Linux, simply look it up on Steam and check for the penguin logo.
MORE: PS4 vs. Xbox One: Console Comparison
Q.: Is there any way to run Windows and Mac games via SteamOS?
A.: Yes, but it requires two systems. In addition to acting as a stand-alone OS, SteamOS can also stream Steam content from Windows PCs and Macs. This means that if you have a gaming rig elsewhere in your house and Wi-Fi, you can run Steam on your rig and stream the content through the SteamOS machine attached to your TV.
Q.: Where can I get a SteamOS machine?
A.: At present, Valve has said only that it is "working with multiple partners" and that "there will ultimately be several boxes to choose from, with an array of specifications, price and performance." Valve will produce its own prototype box, but will make only 300 of them for lucky beta testers. Beyond that, you can install it onto PCs or Macs as a dual-boot (second) operating system or as a replacement for the current OS.
Q.: Will SteamOS run on my computer?
A.: This depends on your hardware setup. SteamOS will probably not have demanding system requirements. But Linux OSes do not have a perfect track record running PC hardware, particularly demanding graphics cards, which are necessary for peak game performance. Keep an eye out for more announcements from Valve as they clarify which hardware will and won't work.
Q.: When will SteamOS and SteamOS machines be available?
A.: The only word from Valve is that, "SteamOS will be available soon." An official release before the end of the year could happen, although it will depend on how it performs with Steam's beta testers. The SteamOS machines may be further in the future — or Valve may want to push them out for the holiday season in order to compete with the Xbox One and the PS4.
Q.: How much will SteamOS machines cost?
A.: SteamOS itself will be free to download, so you could theoretically get a SteamOS machine for any price (including for free, if you have an unused computer lying around). Official SteamOS machines will vary in price. Valve will provide more information on this soon.
Q.: Is there a Steam Controller?
A.: Yes. Valve designed the Steam Controller from the ground up to let gamers get the most out of Steam titles without having to resort to a mouse and keyboard. If you set up a Steam machine in your living room, it's much easier to lean back on the couch and grab a controller than it is to sit up straight with an arm-height mouse and keyboard.
Q.: How does the Steam Controller differ from a regular gamepad?
A.: Instead of dual analog sticks like on an Xbox 360 or PS3 controller, the Steam Controller has two circular haptic pads. They respond to touch, like a smartphone touch screen. Touch controls will stand in for traditional mouse motions, making it possible to play strategy games and other titles that require users to select multiple units at once. There is also a central touch screen (like on the PS4 controller) that will allow users to save and load games, take screenshots and chat with friends on Steam.
MORE: 15 Best Mobile Strategy Games
Q.: Do I need a Steam Controller to play on SteamOS?
A.: No. Although the Steam Controller will be compatible with every Steam game (whether run through Windows, Mac, Linux or SteamOS), you can still use a mouse and keyboard, or a different gamepad if you prefer.

1back_by_demand , September 27, 2013 11:38 AMI have a whopping gaming PC in the study, but in the living room a modest HTPC attached to the TV, I could use SteamOS to stream games and it would therefore have a use, but it would also mean having to either remove my existing XBMC on Windows setup (never happen) or arrange a dual-boot (inconvenient) so we are back to square 1 again. I want my HTPC to have gaming, but easier not more difficult.
-2joaompp , September 27, 2013 11:46 AMBut can it run...office. Seriously though I hope they integrate more software into their library what's compatible with SteamOS
-1will1220 , September 27, 2013 11:48 AMThey have to include a dedicated VoIP like ts3 or mumble, then I would have no problem switching once <b>all</b> new game are made for SteamOS
0joaompp , September 27, 2013 11:49 AM@ back by demand:
It's a Linux distro so once it's up and running someone will probably develop that particular function, also I believe SteamOS is a light weight Debian based Linux distro, so it might arrive sooner
0memadmax , September 27, 2013 11:53 AMIf they include WINE and get this OS to run PC games, then you got urself a winner =D
0taurine , September 27, 2013 12:11 PMQuestion 4 contradicts question 1. Steam does have a built in browser, so you should be able to browse the internet in SteamOS, that is of course assuming that they don't remove that, but it would make sense if they left it in.
2Fredrik Aldhagen , September 27, 2013 12:16 PM"SteamOS is a Linux system"
"You won't be able to run an Internet browser or video streaming services that lack a dedicated SteamOS app"
Has it been confirmed that SteamOS wont run anything not approved by Valve? That sounds very contrary to what they claim on their own page on the beta signup for steam machines (saying you're free to install your own software)
-2JD88 , September 27, 2013 12:18 PMThe big question is going to be what kind of performance can be expected on these things VS say a Windows PC running the same game.
To build a PC with comparable performance from what one could expect from the new consoles is going to cost north of $700 (more if you include Windows).
So, can the optimizations of the Steambox and the more efficient Linux OS make up say $200 worth the difference so these things can be priced between $400-500? If they can, and the developer support is there, this is a winner. I would almost rather see Steam self branding one of these things and selling it at cost or maybe even a loss with hopes profits will be made up through game sales. OEMs are going to want to make some profit off hardware sales which will drive up consumer cost.
Keep in mind, the new Consoles are also starting out with even less games than are currently available on Steam for Linux. This means pretty much an even playing field on the console front. What's even more interesting is the fact that all of the consoles will be based on x86 and likely either Mantle or OpenGL all of which are supported by Linux. This goes without mentioning that the PS4 is running a version of FreeBSD which is very similar to Linux. All of these factors mean porting games between these platforms should be relatively simple.
2clonazepam , September 27, 2013 12:40 PMI think a follow-up should be Tom's taking that $350 machine, slapping Windows, a Linux distro, and SteamOS on the thing, and having a go at em all. Up front, the Windows OS makes available any game that's playable in Linux/Steam OS, with the addition of every single game available to Windows.
I'd certainly pay the price for Windows to open ALL the doors.
-1back_by_demand , September 27, 2013 12:54 PMJoaompp, just because it is Linux 'based' does not automatically mean 'open', we know n-o-t-h-i-n-g about this OS
0LordHaHa , September 27, 2013 1:10 PMSo basically outside of the native Linux stuff this is basically like a less-portable Shield in regards to Win/Mac stuff?
I'd rather just run Steam off of a full Win/Mac/Mint setup and hit "Big Picture" if I'm HTPC-ing to be honest.

2CaedenV , September 27, 2013 1:20 PMHow is this any easier than hooking up my PC to my TV exactly? The only 2 things you plug in is an HDMI cable which caries audio and video, and a power plug. Turn the computer on and Windows (or OSX, or Linux) will auto-detect the TV with the correct settings. Is that really so hard?
Keyboards, mice, internet, and game pads are almost all wireless, so there is nothing to really plug in there except a little dongle. Plus you can rather easily set up PC Remote or some other software to remove the need for a keyboard and mouse, then you have a phone and game controller. Or you go get one of those little keyboards with the built in touch pad if you really want to be lazy and want something as small as a TV remote.
I am not saying that this is going to be an overall bad product or anything... just that I think we are all getting a little carried away with how 'difficult' it is to plug 2 wires into the back of a computer to make it work with a TV.

-1JD88 , September 27, 2013 1:23 PMI'm not sure that's the right way to look at it because what they are playing up is the improved performance of the OS over Windows and probably even a standard Linux distro. As I commented earlier, the success of this thing is likely dependent on the extent of that performance difference.
0mitch074 , September 27, 2013 1:35 PMMost of the comments are made by do-it-yourself'ers - and while most have a point, they're missing the main one: the possibility to get a gaming PC, while paying only for the (optimized and silent-running?) hardware (with no Windows + antivirus +etc. tax) and have the whole (eventually) Steam library running on it. So, like a console on which you can change the hardware to suit your needs. In that, it's a nifty idea. If you already own a PC though, this is mostly redundant.
0JD88 , September 27, 2013 1:50 PMExactly mitch, Steam OS is for all those guys posting on the Tom's forums asking for someone to make them a $500 build and is it better than the upcoming consoles.
This is something designed for the gamer and gamer only, not to replace the desktop PC. It's a competitor to the other consoles and the $500 gaming PC that can be built yourself and customized and upgraded however you like.
I think too many people are looking at this as a Windows alternative instead of basically just a console you build yourself. No one with a $1500 Windows gaming PC should consider this unless they want something to stream games to in the living room. It's just not targeted at those people.
-1CaedenV , September 27, 2013 2:27 PM@ joaompp
If it has a web browser then it has office these days.
Seriously, it will not be very long (maybe 3-7 years?) that we have to even consider what software we are using, and what platform we are using it on. Most consumer and office software already has web based versions which will run on just about anything from a phone to a work-horse of a computer as long as it has a web browser. For more complicated software like games we are seeing all sorts of software solutions to stream inputs and outputs between devices with minimal issue.
Maybe I am over-reacting a bit, but if a device has a web browser and the ability to attach some form of keyboard and mouse, then it can be used for at least basic productivity... and it has been this way for a few years now! With the release of Office for iOS and Android this just became that much easier, and the stuff coming out over the next 2 years is going to bring full desktop capabilities to extremely small devices. All that you will need is a keyboard, mouse, maybe a display, and a network or internet connection to whatever device or service is providing your content.
1CaedenV , September 27, 2013 2:33 PM@ mitch074
It is essentially an Ouya with a real controller, and PC streaming capabilities. What makes this particular console irrelevant to most gamers is that it is very much an accessory to a PC rather than a self-sufficient console. Without a PC then you are stuck playing what few 5 year old games have been ported to Steam's particular stripped out version of Linux, and a few indie games. So really you need a $500+ PC AND this device to make it fun and interesting, when most of us would rather just play on the PC, or can much more easily plug an HDMI cable to our TV.
-1back_by_demand , September 27, 2013 11:21 PMFor a lot of people they only have 1 PC, so to use SteamOS will require sorting a dual-boot or removing Windows, otherwise it is aimed at new builds. New builds are either existing Steam users getting an additional PC or new users without a PC. Even if it's a good idea it may prove difficult to motivate those 40 million Windows PC users to switch. Still, great idea in principle, as long as you can run software you would also be able to run through any other Linux distro - that is the question nobody has answered yet, get me a yes to that and I'm all on board.

Food and Odor on an Airplane - Etiquette
- b
- BabyLitigator Jan 30, 2006 09:49 PM
So with the food on planes going from bad to nonexistent, I've started bringing my meals along, usually something bought at the airport. I'm making a trip to NY in the near future, and had been contemplating a pastrami sandwich on the flight back. My question is how odorous can food be to bring on an airplane without being rude. Saltines would be a 1, Durian a 10, and Pastrami someting like a 5.
I bring banh mi on most flights, brought a container of dim sum home from Hong Kong...My feeling is, if you have to smell them microwaving that Chef Boyardee macaroni and whatever, NOTHING you cn bring is that bad...
re: galleygirl
This seems like another common sense issue. I hardly think you are "sinking" to the depths of anti-social behavior if you bring a sandwich on the plane. Others can remember to bing their own stuff next time. I bring pizza home with me occasionally and everyone ohhs and ahhs - of course I don't eat it on the way. Does anyone HATE the smell of pizza? I understand about overwhelming scents in small places, but the plane does have a ventilation system.
However, I did bring some kim chee one time and that was a bit embarassing even though I wasn't eating that either. I wouldn't do that again.
There is a big difference between pastrami and, say, stinky tofu.
re: janet of reno
Good point. I once brought on a box of Taiwanese cold noodles (liang mien). It's a divine cold food: egg noodles, bean sprouts, shredded cucumbers and carrots, poached chicken chicken pieces, crushed peanuts, and spicy secret sauce (secret to me, at least).
I forgot how much chopped garlic is in every Taiwanese dish. I got a "Oh my gosh, WHAT are you eating?"
I was about to put the box away in horror when the woman who had made the exclamation explained herself. "No no, please keep eating! Someone should! I love garlic." Everyone looked at my noodles lustfully. Oops! Perhaps I was travelling with very polite Chowhounds.
re: janet of reno
I'm with those who say if you're debating, don't. There is very little to be gained by you-- as opposed to eating that sandwich in greater comfort before or after you fly-- and you could make the person next to you truly miserable.
Besides, are you going to want to finish that sandwich once your neighbor starts barfing into a bag?
We chatted with a flight attendant recently who said that odorous food on flights is becoming a big problem -- one that they can't really do anything about. You probably shouldn't jump and sing, "I have a pastrami sandwich and you don't" but I think you'd be fine at a smell level 5 or 6. If nothing else, it should provide education to the drooling people near you so that on their next flights they, too, will bring what they want.
On the other hand, I always want to strangle the ladies who spritz on their perfume (it's never the subtle perfume wearers) in the middle of the flight. That's a smell that's never welcome to anyone but the wearer.
We have a small plane and my husband has flown us to Costa Rica, Toronto, Cancun, etc. As a good co-pilot I bring the food. I use one of those little food carriers with the cold ice pack to bring pre-cut brie, prosciutto, tomato and basil for a killer sandwich, or I'll bring tequenos and empanadas of long leaves of romaine that I'll roll cheese inside. Coconut water is our favorite drink b/c it's very thirst quenching in small amounts -- small planes don't have bathrooms. I'm very spoiled by the food on these trips; for some reason the airport-bought bagel and brick hard cream cheese w/ onboard drink and peanuts just never measures up!
Personally, I am deeply irritated by smelly foods on planes. It seems like nearly ever flight I am on lately someone has a smelly veggie sub or pizza. And at no point can I recall smelly food on an airplane making me hungry or jealous, rather in the stale air of the airplane it's just unappealing and overpowering (and that's at best). I bring only very low odor snacks with me on a plane, out of respect for the other people crammed into the tight space with me. Any cravings I may have for richer, heavier foods can certainly wait the few hours until I reach my destination. This is just my feelings on the issue.
re: Liz CT
I pretty much feel the same way: as you say, perhaps it is the atmosphere, or perhaps it is just the ambiance, or maybe it is just bad luck, but I've never smelled anything delicious on a plane *ever* Besides, I have difficulty eating anything requiring utensils because I *always* seem to be behind the person who insists on reclining their seat the whole way. (And then there was the time that someone in front of hubby kept 'poufing' her long hair and stretching behind her hair, resulting in both hands and hair blocking hubby's mini-tv screen and even touching hubby's tray, more than once, even after he asked her to stop.) and Then there is the issue of everyone having way to much to carry on the plane...and then....
I could go on and on....In other words, it is hard enough to be cramped in too little space for too long without making it harder...so I'd say be the neighbor you'd want them to be, show some pity on your fellow/sister travelers, and don't bring something above a three...I'd say bring that delicious four and above meal and eat it in a corder of the boarding area, before boarding. On a really long flight, I'd bring something non-obtrusive and easy to eat on the plane: for me, roast beef or grilled chicken sandwiches, with raisins, nuts, apple slices, come to mind....
Bottom line: if you have to ask, it is because you aren't sure. and if you aren't sure, part of you wonders if you wouldn't want to be treated that way. Listen to that part of you. (just my opinion, of course).
I don't eat on flights.
I have enough stuff to worry about with my carry on (22 inch pullman and leather back pack with my handbag inside my backpack) that I don't have time to dick around with schlepping a meal on board.
Even with cross country flights I can grab something to eat before hand.
The most I'll have is a protein bar.
re: BlueHerons
Agreed. I try not to go anywhere that doesn't have good food. On the way there I'm saving up stomach room, and on the way home I'm starting my calorie-deficit penance. Even business trips where the food might not be too hot, you still are likely to overeat when traveling, so I see that plane ride as an oasis from temptation.
A power bar in the purse would stave off cannabalism in the event of some kind of 8-hours-on-the-tarmac nightmare.
This is about courtesy in small quarters where the people can't move to another seat. If you're worried about the smell, don't bring it on board. Just because something smells good to you doesn't mean the person next to you is going to think so. It may just smell. Think of all those folks who bring bags of BK and McDs on board. They think they smell divine. Do you?
re: Ellen
Yeah, but you can't predict what one person might not like the smell of and not eating, especially on a 5 or 6 hour flight is unreasonable for a lot of us. I'm not going to worry about getting sick from low blood sugar because I'm worried that someone, somewhere might not like the smell of what I'm eating.
What's next, not eating onions or garlic before you get on a bus because someone might not like the smell of it on you later on?
There's reasonable and there's reasonable. A pastrami sandwich is a perfectly reasonable thing to bring on a plane. Enjoy, and don't worry about it. No matter what you do, someone is always going to be unhappy, so just eat your sandwich and pass the time in bliss.
Well, the last flight I took the person next to me brought on a bag of fried fish and chips from Long John Silvers. Not only did it smell bad, he never got rid of the wrappings when the flight attendants came around with trash bags. I was not happy.
re: Chorus Girl
Hmmph. And I thought it was a *requirement* to eat a Central Grocery muffaletta on the flight home from New Orleans.
re: Laughing Goddess
It always was for me...
re: Laughing Goddess
And I thought it was mandatory to eat it on the moonwalk looking out at the river.
re: Laughing Goddess
Me too!
Don't bring it. I love a good pastrami sandwich like my own child, but strong-smelling food makes me queasy on planes. I'm sure I'm not alone.
If a pastrami sandwich will make you happy and your airline allows it, go for it!
Air travel sucks and is full of rude travelers - people wear perfume or otherwise stink; the snotty little kid behind you kicks your seat and the parent does nothing; the other jerk behind you uses your headrest to pull himself upright; the pea-bladdered person by the window gets up 8+ times during the flight; the person in the middle seat hogs the armrests; and there's usually somebody who tries to be your new best friend.
Since having something nice to eat is one of the few things still within my control during travel, I sure as hell am not going to give up a treat just because some random person may or may not approve of my choice.
re: Sir Gawain
AMEN!! And I do believe if you are stuck in the middle seat, you deserve to have both armrests - it's the least you can do for that poor sod!
re: Sir Gawain
Double amen. It's not about someone approving (or not) your food. It's about not sinking down to the lowest level just because everyone around you seemed to have gone off the deep end.
re: Sir Gawain
"most people are being jerks most of the time, so I'll be one too" was not my reasoning.
My reasoning was "air-travel is a miserable experience, so doing something to make it bearable is reasonable" and treating yourself to something tasty is one of those things.
The item in question was a pastrami sandwich from NYC, for gods sake! Its only middling in odor range at most and by the time the OP gets to the airport and on the plane, it will be room temperature so very few people are going to smell it (I've never noticed the odor of food more than an aisle away and that was fried food)and of the people that do, the chance that someone will be genuinely offended (vs. mildly annoyed or enjoying it) is extremely slim.
Bringing food on planes is common these days, particularly specialty foods (see the muffelata post).
re: Pssst
At the risk of getting dogpiled as a bad Chowhound (though I'd disagree), one can find other ways to enjoy oneself beyond eating. For the relatively short time you are on a plane, you can find other ways to relieve that tedium. I always bring along a book or some music to listen to. When I listen to my music I make sure it is not loud enough for the people crammed into the tiny spaces beside me to hear. That's the point about smelly food, as well. It's about simple common courtesy trumping something that is a complete luxury.
If I must eat during a flight I will eat something like crackers, chips, powerbars/cereal bars. There are a lot of options that do not smell to high heaven. Insisting upon hauling in a veggie sub or a container of ropa vieja is just unecessary.
re: Liz CT
Eating Good Food while on a plane is fun, and is a treat . Theres something so luxurious about having something good to snack on while reading my book while the others are having a plastic cup of soda and 8 pretzels. You don't have to eat while on a plane, but thats part of the fun!
I spent 13 years working for a large Unnamed Air Line, I spent more time in the air than many of you would ever want to. I'e worked in flight kitchens and galleys on planes, my brother is actually a on-board food service manager.
That said, I never leave SFO without a stop at Darby Dan's or Innya Lake. On longer international flights, the cheese/crackers/pate/fruit snackes go in a crushable cooler with a couple of frozen water bottles.
Do any of these range up into odorous territories? I hope so, the dry air and lower pressure deadens the taste buds, food needs to be more heavily seasoned to taste at all. I'm reasonably considerate, I plastic bag everything and dispose of the trash, offer to share etc.
Having sat next to someone who removed her old nail polish and applied new on a crowded 3 hour flight, I don't feel bad if the garlic in my tea leaf salad smells for the 15-20 minutes it takes me to eat lunch.
As long as you get your pastrami from Katz's, I'd say go for it and bring it one board. I wouldn't worry about the smell. Even if you pick up the sandwich on your way to the airport, it won't be warm by the time you are on your flight, so it wont smell as strong. Just remember to bring lots of napkins and maybe an extra 2 pieces of rye.
The sandwhich is probably fine. But please don't bring strong deli pickles. They stink like BO after about 10 minutes. I was very surprised by how much my pickles stank on the last flight. I thought it was the guy next to me until I got my lunch and then I realized why HE had been looking at me.
One thing to consider is bringing some citrus with you. It tastes good on a plane but also sweetens the air.
re: JudiAU
NOoooooooo. Please, no citrus. For some it "sweetens" but for others, the smell of an orange is really unpleasant. I don't know why, but go figure.
I mean, eat the orange if you want, but please don't assume you're doing those around you a favor.
re: Lizard
You bring up a valid point, as far as I'm concerned. I don't know why it is that I love to eat oranges but cannot abide the odor of the peels. I peel my orange in the kitchen so I can quickly toss the skin away and eat the segments at my leisure, without the (to me) slightly sickening smell of the peel coming up to my nose from the plate. For airplane or car travel, I do the same and just put the segments into a throw-away container. It's much easier to eat that way, too - no sticky fingers to deal with.
re: Lizard
hmmmm. My handle is Lizard, too. Maybe one of us should change something so we can differentiate ourselves from one another......
I would say eat the sandwich but don't linger over it for hours. Eat it and then quickly dispose of the wrapping. I don't see how it can be worse than any of the other things airline passengers are exposed to. I could write a book...
i have to say that the smell of the airplane meals being heated up usually makes me queasy! otherwise, i guess i agree with others: if you have to think about it, don't do it. stick with the saltines! or some not-so-smelly cheese and crackers. or fruit!
No need to eat on a flight unless you are going across the pond.
Eat before you get to the airport. Bring along a Harvert Bar, etc. and drink water.
Then you avoid that nasty full feeling. You can't exactly get up and walk off your lunch at 30K'.

How to record digital piano and keyboard, part 1: Connecting to the computer
This is the first article in a series on recording the sounds from your digital piano or electronic keyboard on the computer, and how to make MP3 files of your performances for sharing with friends or on the web.
Even though these articles mainly talk about recording on your computer, the same principles apply to other digital recording devices. So if you have an MP3 player with recording capability, or a MiniDisc, or any other device with an audio input, you can use that instead and then transfer the files to your computer.
NOTE: These articles are written with Windows in mind. If you use another operating system such as Mac OS X, the hardware directions are similar, but the software will be different.
These are general instructions that should work with any instrument. Because details tend to differ between brands and models, I'll often tell you to refer to your instrument's manual.
Always check with your manual first which options apply to your instrument. You can often download the latest version of these manuals in PDF format for free from the manufacturer's website. The same goes for any additional software you may need, such as device drivers.
Inputs and outputs
All digital instruments have at least one audio output. The more expensive the instrument, the more output options it has. Recording is simply a matter of connecting an audio output from your digital piano or keyboard to an audio input on the computer, and then using a software program to capture your performance.
Typically available outputs on your instrument are:
- Line Out
- Aux Out
- (Head)phones Out
On your computer, possible available inputs are:
- Line In
- Mic In
- External recording device
NOTE: Although many laptop computers also have a built-in microphone, we won't discuss that here. If all else fails, recording with this built-in mic is an option… but don't expect it to sound very good.
You will get the best recording quality with a connection from Line Out to Line In. Different types of outputs have different "impedance levels" and ideally you will connect an output to an input with matching impedance. Line Out and Line In are a perfect match.
It is possible to make connections where the impedance does not match, such as Line Out to Mic In, but they are not ideal. The sound will easily distort, and you will have to lower the output volume on the instrument and the input volume on the computer as much as possible in order to avoid "clipping" (loud cracks in the recording where the maximum volume is exceeded).
Unfortunately, you do not always have a choice. Most desktop computers will have a Line In option (the blue input on your soundcard) but most laptops have only a Mic In. If that is all you have, then that will have to do.
NOTE: Mic In will record in mono only, but Line In is full stereo sound and therefore preferable.
Some of the less expensive digital keyboards only have Phones Out to connect headphones, but not Line Out or Aux Out. Use whatever is available and try to make the best of it.
If your computer has no Line In and you can spare the money ($50 and up), it is worth buying a special recording device called an "external sound card". This is a unit that plugs into your computer's USB or Firewire port and gives you one or more Line In sockets.
TIP: If you only have a Mic In, it is still possible to make stereo recordings. First, you record your performance as MIDI. Then you let the piano play that MIDI and capture the left channel on the computer. If you're using Audacity, set the track from "Mono" to "Left Channel". Repeat, but now capture the right channel. Align it with the first track, and set it to "Right Channel". Finally, export as WAV or MP3.
Cables and plugs
Now we have chosen the input and output, we will have to connect them with a cable. Which cable depends on the types of sockets your machines have.
At the computer end we will most likely have a small (3.5mm or 1/8″) stereo jack:
Remember that Mic In is always mono, so you could use a mono jack here. You can tell the difference by the number of rings they have:
At the digital piano, Line Out is typically split into two sockets labeled L/L+R (or in my case L/Mono) and R. They take two big (6.3mm or 1/4″) mono jacks:
If you plug just one jack into L, you'll get mono sound. For stereo sound, one jack goes into L and the other goes into R.
To use Line Out, you'll want to use a stereo cable with two big mono jacks on one end and a small stereo jack on the other. The cable that I use actually has two RCA plugs on the source end, and I used two converter plugs to make them big mono jacks:
To use Aux Out, you need a cable with two RCA plugs (red and white) on one end and a small stereo jack on the other. There shouldn't be much difference between Line Out and Aux Out as far as sound quality is concerned.
Phones Out is typically a stereo jack (could be big or small). Use a stereo cable, and if necessary a small-to-big converter plug on the source end:
Get shielded cables if possible. You can get these cables at any electronics or audio store.
You should now be able to hook up your instrument to your computer. The next article will explain how to record the sounds that are transmitted across these cables.

Charcoal illegal trade
As valuable timber becomes rare outside of parks, militias enter parks and illegally cut and produce charcoal inside parks – even the best protected park of the Virungas housing large shares of the Worlds remaining mountain gorilla popula- tion. Rangers here destroyed over a thousand kilns for charcoal inside the park in 2009.

Last night I had the immense privilege of seeing Mumford & Sons play at the Santa Barbara Bowl. It was a tremendous show. I am, admittedly, an incredibly late arrival to the Mumford & Sons bandwagon, but nonetheless I've grown to really appreciate their music in the past several months. It's pretty funny to think that one of the hottest acts in music today is four guys from London whose live show features such instruments as the banjo, accordian, upright bass, horn, trumpet, and trombone. They played everything from their album Sigh No More and played several new songs, which the crowd seemed to love. Throughout the night the band seemed genuinely grateful for the crowd's enthusiasm and support. They almost seemed a little bit surprised. At one point, in between songs, the keyboard player told the crowd, "Our first gig on the west coast was at a club in Los Angeles in front of about twenty people." Then he shrugged and said something that I thought was pretty funny. "It's the same songs." A few years ago those songs were being played for an audience that could be fed with a couple of pizzas. Last night they played at a 4000+ seat venue that sold out the show in about fifteen minutes. I can't entirely put my finger on why I was so struck by that comment. Maybe it's the reminder that sometimes great things take time to develop. Maybe it's the reminder that sometimes great things need to be developed over a long period of time, even if it is just "the same songs". I guess on some level I was struck by his comment because we live in such a society of instant gratification. I am often mortified as I consider my own lack of patience, let alone my lack of persistence. I think it's easy to be lulled out of a willingness to work hard at something over a long period of time by stories, whether real or made up, of overnight success, or by perceptions we can have that somehow successful people achieved their success without having to put in hours and hours and months and months "playing in front of 20 people in L.A." The reality, of course, is that achieving things that matter is rarely that easy. I don't believe there is a short cut to being a good parent or being good at relating to people or being good at a profession, regardless of what that profession is. Certainly a degree of natural acumen helps in all of those things, but more than anything, success requires commitment, hard work, and a willingness
to dedicate oneself towards excellence. In between all of the amazing music, I was grateful for that reminder from Mumford & Sons last night. May we find our "songs", and dedicate ourselves to the hard work of playing them well.
