In-Game music player and .. radio?
aside from being very cool to have on hand, what kind of capabilities does this thing have? I would assume it's limited to .ogg (that's fine, since it has equal to smaller compression than .mp3 and it's free = no licensing issues!)
Is it also safe to assume that only I can hear what playing, since it would otherwise be chaos with everyone changing the music (ashame, I'd love to get songs from the new Front Line Assembly for everyone to hear). Maybe we can get some start of IRC music/playlist channel going ingame to share the music we are listening to (as long as you own the original CD*, of course!). just a thought. And isn't there supposed to be some kind of radio broadcast or something involved with UT2004? .edit: not radio, but broadcastTV to watch clans battle. how does that work? and how does "recording" work? *wink Last edited by Stigmata; 18th Mar 2004 at 01:00 PM. |

I heard somewhere (unverifyable) that the player will handle mp3s, too. Maybe they licensed a decoder?
Do you really want to stream audio during a match? It seems like the bandwidth requirements would screw up both.... For recording, check out demorec <demoname>, demoplay <demoname>, and stopdemo |

stremaing probably wouldn't be such a great idea, even with the 300kb/sec bandwidth Comcast (<- Satan) gives you (and a measly 40kb/sec up, or something like that). I was thinking of using the built-in IRC to share cool soundtracks (i'm not a file-share monkey or anything). Just a cool way to strengthen the community (as big as it is) and just enjoy kick-ass music while playing. I think streaming would be a feature that needs to be coded or mutated into the current build, whereas with IRC, all one would have to do is download into the music dir of UT2004, no special modification required.
Also, interesting note on the mp3; I'll try that when i get home from work today... |

A Seed Starting Diary: The Cucurbits
Today I'm bringing you the final entry in my 2014 Seed Starting Diary. Starting this weekend, I will finally make the move from seed starting mode to garden planting mode, and I couldn't be more excited!
However, this last entry is actually a first for me. This is the first time I have started my cucurbit seeds instead of sowing them directly in the garden. Why the change this year? The main reason is the squirrels. My constant battle with the neighborhood squirrels has been well documented on this blog. Just this last weekend I pulled no less than 10 black walnuts and 3 peanuts out of my windowboxes, and within 6 hours of planting my front step flower pots (filled with fresh, nut-free potting soil), they had successfully uprooted more than half of the flowers and made a huge mess on the front steps.
And while I can usually save those flowers, squash and pumpkin seeds are an entirely different story. The squirrels seem to sniff out the seeds very quickly after they have been planted, or what's worse, right after they have germinated, and gobble them up on the spot. The last time I grew pumpkins in the home garden, they seemed to leave them alone once they started to look less like a big tasty seed and more like a pumpkin plant, so I'm hoping that by letting these guys grow out a bit before setting them out, they'll be less of a target for hungry squirrels.
There is quite a bit of diversity when it comes to cucurbit seed. In general, the seeds are long, flat, and tear-shaped, but they come in a wide variety of colors, textures, and sizes. This year I'm foregoing melons because of space constraints, but I am planing a number of pumpkins, winter squash, and cucumbers, and as you can see, I'm representing that diversity pretty well.
One of the nice things about cucurbits is that the seed remains viable for a number of years (easily more than 5 years). Seed saving is a little tricky with cucurbits, as they are easily cross pollinated by bees and other pollinators, but with a little effort it's really not too difficult to do (keep an eye out for a more thorough post on this topic later this summer).
Somewhere along the way, someone once told me to always plant cucurbits on their ends to prevent the seeds from rotting before they germinate. I probably didn't have to worry too much about that this year with starting them indoors, but it is still a pretty slick way to plant them. I just poke the end in the soil to start with, and then once all the seeds are in place, I can push them down, row by row, and then add a little more soil on top of the entire tray.
The pointy end is where the primary root starts to emerge as the seed germinate, so the seedlings get a nice, straight start as an well.
The most important thing to remember when planting cucurbits, whether you are doing so indoors or directly in the garden, is to make sure that the soil is sufficiently warm (at minimum 50-60 degrees, but the warmer the better). Cool soil temp will delay germination and you'll risk seeds rotting in the ground, regardless of how the seeds were planted.
Cucurbits know how to make an entrance. They heave and push the soil as they emerge and then unfurl their cotolydeons and shed the seed casing with equally enthusiasm. They are always some of my favorite seeds to watch in the spring, and it's been really fun to have a much better view this year!
So what cucurbits are growing in my garden this year?
I am growing three varieties of cucumbers this year:
Boston Pickling is a very old heirloom variety that, as the name suggests, has good qualities for pickling. If you can't already tell, I'm ready to get back into pickling this year!
Delikatesse is a German heirloom variety that came highly recommended by some of my gardening friends. It is supposedly great for both pickling and slicing.
Mexican Sour Gherkins are a unique heirloom. The plants are tiny (as you can see in the photo above) and the fruits look like itty bitty watermelons. They are said to have a sour, almost pickled, taste fresh off the vine. I haven't heard good reports on preserving these interesting cucumbers, but I think they'll be great to have for fresh eating.
And I am growing eleven of varieties of pumpkins and winter squash:
Long Island Cheese and Connecticut Field are two traditional-looking orange pumpkin varieties that I am growing once again.
I'm also growing Musquee de Provence, a beautiful deeply ribbed brownish orange pumpkin, again. These pumpkins were quite tasty, but they also made for gorgeous fall decorations as well.
Small Sugar is an excellent pie pumpkin that I am growing for the third year in a row.
Many of my new selections this year were based on growing a nice selection of different colored pumpkins and squash for both decorative purposes as well as to broaden my culinary comfort zone with winter squash: Jarrahdale is a blue-grey squash that is a great keeper; Thai Rai Kaw Tok is a green speckled squash that is also supposed to be highly resistant to disease and pest damage; Australian Butter was a last minute addition after receiving a package of seeds as free gift from Seed Savers Exchange, but it looks like it will be an excellent keeper over the winter months; and Lumina is a white skinned pumpkin.
Perhaps the most interesting squash in my garden this year is Silver Edge, a green and white stripped squash that is grown for its oversize and easy to hull seeds.
Rounding out the selection is Jack Be Little and a few assorted seeds I saved from some interesting gourds last fall. I have no idea if the gourds will produce true to type, but I thought it might be fun to see what I get!
The one thing you do want to be careful with starting cucurbits outside of the garden is that you don't want to disturb the roots any more than you absolutely have to. If you are not direct sowing, you want to be able to move the entire root mass, soil and all, into the garden all at once. With that, timing is everything. You don't want to start them too early, otherwise you risk causing unnecessary damage or stress on your little cucurbit seedlings if they require potting up.
I still have a little work to do in my new squash garden, so I have about another week before I'll be ready to transplant the cucurbits. The seedlings are just getting their first true leaves now, so that timing seems about right to both protect the root system and protect the plant from hungry squirrels. Stay tuned, I'll be sharing more about the new squash garden projects in the weeks to come!
One Response to A Seed Starting Diary: The Cucurbits
[…] We've had a crazy amount of rain this month so the work has been spread out over several weeks, but the transformation is just about complete (I just need to pick up one more bag of wood chips to finish off a small area next to the raspberries after I transplant a couple of new raspberry canes first). I really like how it turned out and the squash seem to be enjoying their new home as well. The plants are already starting to stretch out and a few varieties are even starting to form buds (for a list of varieties I'm growing check out this post). […]

Physical to container
A rough description of how to migrate existing physical server into a container.
[edit] Preparing to migrate
Stop most services on a machine to be migrated. "Most" means services such as web server, databases and the like — so you will not lose your data. Just leave the bare minimum (including ssh daemon).
To make things easier you may like to first follow the basic instructions elsewhere and create a dummy container based on the same Linux distribution you want to migrate. That way you can take that dummy as a template and then copy to your new migrated container and modify. You can later discard this dummy.
[edit] Prepare a new "empty" container
For OpenVZ this would mean the following (assume you chose CT ID of 123):
mkdir /vz/root/123 /vz/private/123 cat /etc/vz/conf/ve-basic.conf-sample > /etc/vz/conf/123.conf
Note: Now comes the dummy container handy mentioned above: Simply copy the xxx.conf file of the dummy to your new yyy.conf and modify it. |
Note: If you have created a container from the same distro as the basis for the migration, simply take not of the CT ID and skip this step. |
[edit] Copying the data
Copy all your data from the machine to an OpenVZ box. Say you'll be using container with ID of 123, then all the data should be placed to /vz/private/123/
directory (so there will be directories such as /vz/private/123/bin
, etc
, var
and so on). This could be done in several ways:
[edit] rsync
On the new HN create a file /tmp/exclude.txt
/tmp /boot /lib/modules /etc/blkid /etc/mtab /etc/lvm /etc/fstab /etc/udev
and run rsync as follows:
rsync -avz -H -X --one-file-system --numeric-ids --exclude-from=/tmp/exclude.txt -e ssh firstname.lastname@example.com:/ /vz/private/123/
Note: You should add the -H option, so hardlinks will be preserved during sync and also include the -X option to preserve file extended attributes
If your source system have multiple partitions (for example /var
or /home
) repeat the command above for each partition in your system; for example:
rsync -avz -H -X --one-file-system --numeric-ids -e ssh email@example.com:/var/ /vz/private/123/var/
Advantage: Your system doesn't really go down.
[edit] Live CD
Another way to do is using a live cd, booting up and use tar to dump the complete disk in a tar you save over the network or on a USB device.
[edit] Tar
Another approach is using tar and excluding some dirs, you could do it like this:
Create a file /tmp/excludes.excl with these contents:
.bash_history /dev/* /mnt/* /tmp/* /proc/* /sys/* /usr/src/*
Then create the tar. But remember, when the system is 'not' using udev, you have to look into /proc/ after creating your container because some devices might not exist. (/dev/ptmx or others)
# tar --numeric-owner -cjpf /tmp/mysystem.tar.bz2 / -X /tmp/excludes.excl
Naturally, you can only do this when the critical services (MySQL, apache, ..) are stopped and your /tmp filesystem is big enough to contain your tar.
Advantage: You don't need to boot from a live cd, so your system doesn't really go down.
[edit] Setting container parameters
[edit] OSTEMPLATE
You have to add OSTEMPLATE=xxx
line to /etc/vz/conf/123.conf
file, where xxx
would be distribution name (like debian-3.0
) for vzctl to be able to make changes specific for this distribution.
Note: If you copied from the dummy container or are using it as basis for your migrated system then this step is already accomplished. |
[edit] IP address(es)
Also, you have to supply an IP for a new container:
vzctl set 123 --ipadd x.x.x.x --save
[edit] venet vs. veth
You may use veth interface instead of venet if you need just bring old server up for seamless migration of services. It may be nessessary if server you are migrating is badly configured and it is hard to find all hard-coded net interfaces settings and so on.
veth inteface may be included into bridge to allow seamless old installation access.
[edit] Making adjustments
Since container is a bit different to a real physical server, you have to edit some files inside your new container.
[edit] /etc/inittab
A container does not have real ttys, so you have to disable getty in /etc/inittab
(i. e. /vz/private/123/etc/inittab
sed -i -e 's/^[0-9].*getty.*tty/#&/g' /vz/private/123/etc/inittab
[edit] /etc/mtab
Link /etc/mtab
to /proc/mounts
, for df
to work properly:
ln -sf /proc/mounts /vz/private/123/etc/mtab
) is mounted not from the container itself, but rather from the host system. That leaves /etc/mtab
in container without a record for /
being mounted, thus df doesn't show it. By linking /etc/mtab → /proc/mounts
we make sure /etc/mtab shows what is really mounted in a container.
Sure this is not the only way to fix df; you can just manually add a line to /etc/mtab
telling /
is mounted, and make sure this line will be there after a reboot.[edit] /etc/fstab
Since you do not have any real disk partitions in a container, /etc/fstab (or most part of it) is no longer needed. Empty it (excluding the lines for /dev/pts
, /proc
, /sys
and such):
mv /vz/private/123/etc/fstab /vz/private/123/etc/fstab.old egrep '/dev/pts|/dev/shm|/proc|/sys' /vz/private/123/etc/fstab.old > /vz/private/123/etc/fstab
You can also mount a devpts in a running (but not fully functional) container:
vzctl exec 123 mount -t devpts none /dev/pts
A still better approach would be simply to copy the /etc/fstab
from a previously created container from a template of the same or similar distribution. In the case of RedHat/CentOS 5 this is:
none /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0
and for RedHat/CentOS 6:
none /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0
[edit] /dev
Note: Once again if you are using the container from the same distro as basis, and you were carefull to not overwrite /dev with rsync by using the --one-file-system option, you can skip this section
[edit] Introduction: static /dev
In order for container to work, some nodes should be present in container's /dev
. For modern distributions, udev is taking care of it. For a variety of reasons udev doesn't make much sense in a container, so the best thing to do is to disable udev and create needed device nodes manually.
Note that in some distributions /dev
is mounted on tmpfs
— this will not work in case of static /dev
. So what you need to do is find out where /dev
is being mounted on tmpfs
and remove this. This is highly distribution-dependent; please add info for your distro here.
For Suse 11.0, It is found in /etc/init.d/boot
After you made sure your /dev
is static, populate it with needed device nodes.
Please pay attention to the access permissions of the device files being created: a default file mode for newly created files is affected by umask
(w:umask). You can use --mode option for mknod
to set the desired permissions.
Note: Now comes the dummy container handy mentioned above: Simply copy the entire /dev directory of the dummy to your new migrated container - worked in my case at least with Debian Etch. |
[edit] tty device nodes
In order for vzctl enter to work, a container needs to have some entries in /dev. This can either be /dev/ttyp* and /dev/ptyp*, or /dev/ptmx and mounted /dev/pts.
[edit] /dev/ptmx
Check that /dev/ptmx exists. If it does not, create with:
mknod --mode 666 /vz/private/123/dev/ptmx c 5 2
[edit] /dev/pts/
Check that /dev/pts exists. It's a directory, if it does not exist, create with:
mkdir /vz/private/123/dev/pts
[edit] /dev/ttyp* and /dev/ptyp*
Check that /dev/ttyp* and /dev/ptyp* files are there. If not, you have to create those, either by using /sbin/MAKEDEV, or by copying them from the host system.
To copy:
cp -a /dev/ttyp* /dev/ptyp* /vz/private/123/dev/
To recreate with MAKEDEV, either
/sbin/MAKEDEV -d /vz/private/123/dev ttyp ptyp
cd /vz/private/123/dev && /sbin/MAKEDEV ttyp
[edit] /dev/null
Make sure sure /dev/null is not a file or directory; if unsure remove and recreate. If this is not correct sshd will not start correctly.
rm -f /vz/private/123/dev/null mknod --mode 666 /vz/private/123/dev/null c 1 3
[edit] /dev/urandom
Check that /dev/urandom exists. If it does not, create with:
mknod --mode 444 /vz/private/123/dev/urandom c 1 9
[edit] Using udev anyway
CentOS 5 can run in a container with udev enabled. You need to create /etc/udev/devices, containing the above device nodes. Also, the following will create the extra device nodes you need
mkdir /vz/private/123/etc/udev/devices /sbin/MAKEDEV -d /vz/private/123/dev {p,t}ty{a,p}{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f} console core full kmem kmsg mem null port ptmx random urandom zero ram0 /sbin/MAKEDEV -d /vz/private/123/etc/udev/devices {p,t}ty{a,p}{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f} console core full kmem kmsg mem null port ptmx random urandom zero ram0
[edit] /proc
Note: One more time you may skip this if you are using a container created from a template of the same distro as your basis system. |
Make sure the /proc directory exists:
ls -la /vz/private/123/ | grep proc
If it doesn't, create it:
mkdir /vz/private/123/proc
[edit] /etc/init.d services
Some system services can (or in some cases should) be disabled and/or uninstaled. A few good candidates are:
- acpid, amd (not needed)
- checkfs, checkroot (no filesystem checking is required in container)
- clock (no clock setting is required/allowed in container)
- consolefont (container does not have a console)
- hdparm (container does not have real hard drives)
- klogd (unless you use iptables to LOG some packets)
- keymaps (container does not have a real keyboard)
- kudzu (container does not have real hardware)
- lm_sensors (container does not have access to hardware sensors)
- microcodectl (container can not update CPU microcode)
- netplugd (container does not have real Ethernet device)
- irqbalance (this is handled in host node)
- auditd ( not needed in container)
- lvm2-monitor (no LVM in containers)
- ntp/ntpd (clock taken from host node)
To see which services are enabled:
- RedHat/Fedora/SUSE:
/sbin/chkconfig --list
- Debian: Use '
' (ncurses) orupdate-rc.d
( See: http://www.debianadmin.com/manage-linux-init-or-startup-scripts.html )
- Gentoo:
/sbin/rc-update show
To disable the service:
- RedHat/Fedora/SUSE:
/sbin/chkconfig SERVICENAME off
- Debian:
' update-rc.d -f hdparm remove '
- Gentoo:
/sbin/rc-update del SERVICENAME
[edit] Disable old network interface
You should disable your old physical network interface from starting at boot time. This is distribution-dependant.
[edit] Fedora/CentOS/Red Hat
Edit /vz/private/{CTID}/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethx
Make the following look like this:
If the files /vz/private/{CTID}/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdown-venet or /vz/private/{CTID}/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-venet exist, make sure they won't be used. These two files might exist if the physical server had OpenVZ installed. One way to do this is to rename them, like so:
mv ifdown-venet SKIP.ifdown-venet
Failing to do this will prevent networking from starting up correctly in the container.
[edit] Debian/Ubuntu
Edit /etc/network/interfaces
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8) # The loopback interface # automatically added when upgrading auto lo eth0 iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet static address 10.0.0.4 netmask 255.0.0.0 network 10.0.0.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255
You can either comment out the eth* interface stanza(s), or take it out of the "auto" line(s).
[edit] Ubuntu server 8.x
Here what I have done for my Ubuntu server JEOS 8.04.2
rm /vz/private/123/etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate rm /vz/private/123/etc/event.d/tty{1,2,3,4,5,6} vzctl exec 123 update-rc.d -f klogd remove vzctl exec 123 update-rc.d -f udev remove
[edit] openSUSE/SLES
Use Yast.
[edit] Disable udev if you create DEVNODES devices
If you are creating devices for the container with a DEVNODES statement in a veid.conf file then these devices may be overwritten/deleted by udev when the container starts. As udev cannot "see" the device from within the container it disables it. Therefore, if you have DEVNODES statements in veid.conf then disable udev.
In Fedora, Redhat, Centos, try commenting out any udev entries in /vz/private/{CTID}/etc/rc.sysinit Comment the line similar to this:
#[ -x /sbin/start_udev ] && /sbin/start_udev
[edit] Other adjustments
There might be other adjustments needed. Please add those here (just above this section) if you have more info.
[edit] Starting a new container
Try to start your new container:
vzctl start 123
Now check that everything works fine. If not, see #Troubleshooting below.
[edit] Troubleshooting
[edit] PHP not serving pages / random issues
Make sure that /tmp and /var/tmp are created if you rsynced over your data and that they have proper permissions
mkdir tmp chmod 1777 tmp
[edit] Can't enter container
If you can not enter your container (using vzctl enter
), you should be able to at least execute commands in it.
First, see the #tty device nodes section above.
Next, check if devpts is mounted:
vzctl exec 123 mount | grep pts
If it is not mounted, mount it:
vzctl exec 123 mount -t devpts none /dev/pts
Then, add the appropriate mount command to container's startup scripts. On some distros, you need to have the appropriate line in container's /etc/fstab.
In Fedora, try commenting out any udev entries in /vz/private/{CTID}/etc/rc.sysinit
vi /vz/private/{CTID}/etc/rc.sysinit
Locate the udev entry from within vim
Then comment the line similar to this:
#[ -x /sbin/start_udev ] && /sbin/start_udev
[edit] Other problems
If anything goes wrong, try to find out why and fix. If you have enough Linux experience, it can be handled. Also check out IRC and please report back on this page.
[edit] Scripting
For CentOS below are two scripts to help with the migration:
- pre-copy.sh: Does the necessary configuration required for the migration of a server/VM to a CT.
- post-copy.sh: Performs steps 5 and 6.

Syracuse, NY, Mar 23, 2012 -- Today, USDA Rural Development New York State Director Jill Harvey hosted a press conference to showcase and celebrate five projects in Central New York that received funding through Rural Development's Value Added Producer Grant Program (VAPG) this past February. Value-added products are created when a producer increases the consumer value of an agricultural commodity in the production or processing stage. These projects represent a portion of the twenty-one projects funded throughout the state, totaling nearly $2 million.
At the press conference, the five projects below were honored;
Farmer Ground Flour, LLC $75,000
Red Jacket Orchards $49,500
Hosmer, Inc. $49,990
New York Beef Farmer's Cooperative, Canastota $36,500
Guppy's Berry Farm $3,650
The funded projects will create jobs for agricultural producers, businesses and families. The grants act as a catalyst for business development and entrepreneurship by providing access to capital and technical assistance.
"By creating value-added products, farmers can expand economic opportunities, create jobs and keep wealth in rural communities," Jill Harvey said. "These projects will promote business expansion and entrepreneurship by helping local businesses get access to capital, technical assistance and new markets for their products and services."
USDA Rural Development's mission is to deliver programs in a way that will support increasing economic opportunity and improve the quality of life of rural residents. As a venture capital entity, Rural Development provides equity and technical assistance to finance and foster growth in homeownership, business development, and critical community and technology infrastructure. Further information on rural programs is available by visiting Rural Development's web site at http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/ny.

Gardenia – Week 7 of 10
New to Mid Week Mojo? Get started here!
I am not one to love pink and girlie things, I think it has to do with having five (yes 5) older brothers. My birthdays and Christmases were filled with trucks and Matchbox cars. When I saw the Bo Bunny Madeleine collection I was a little worried with all of the pink, but when I looked closer at the designs and embellishments, well I fell in love. The vintage designs that Bo Bunny is known for shine through with the hints of birds, bird cages and flowers create beautiful projects. I was excited to use it for today's Mid Week Mojo
Here is the layout:
Here is the sketch:
I love all of the options with this collection. You can actually create something with very little pink if you want. The layered chipboard have multiple layers with glitter and gems. I am in love.
All of the letter & word stickers included with the collection kit have something for just about whatever project you may be working on. I love how these worked perfectly with my little Lizzie being a flower girl at my sister's wedding. It was an awesome moment caught on film.
The paper flowers along with the brads and buttons create awesome dimension on this layout. With four different sizes of flowers you can create many bouquets.

Shahrukh Khan unveiled the Ra.One Theatrical promo on May 31st at the Imax Big Cinema, Mumbai. The promo received tremendous positive response. Shahrukh Khan is the producer of this mega budget film and Anubhav Sinha directs it. This is supposedly the biggest production ever on Indian screen. SRK has invested a lot of money in Ra.One. Sharukh Khan plays the role of G.One in this movie while Arjun Rampal is donning the title role. This is a science fiction futuristic action thriller on which the superstar has pinned many hopes upon. Ra.One theatrical trailer (see below) gives you the clear idea about the film and its grandeur, says Shahrukh Khan, who is expecting nothing short of a blockbuster with it. Kareena Kapoor is the heroine in this film.
Trust Shah Rukh Khan to do things differently. The Bollywood superstar is now aiming to create a Limca Book of World Records by launching a 3,600-foot long fan mail, which will travel through 50 BIG Cinemas properties across India, allowing audiences to share their messages for the actor.
The fan mail was launched during the theatrical trailer launch event and the first two Shah Rukh fans to sign the fan mail were the winners of a contest hosted by BIG Cinemas, a division of Reliance Mediaworks.
The longest travelling fan mail is our attempt to give all the BIG Cinemas patrons a chance to express their love for King Khan and ensure that their messages reach him personally. This initiative further strengthens our brand promise of 'you matter' to our audiences said Archana Jhangiani, Brand and Marketing Head of BIG Cinemas.

Conference of Non-Nuclear States
The purpose of this submission is to seek the approval of Cabinet for the attendance of an Australian delegation at the conference of non-nuclear weapon states in Geneva from 29th August to 28th September.
2. On 17th November, 1966, the General Assembly decided to convene a conference of non-nuclear weapon states to consider the questions of the security of non-nuclear states, the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, and the use of nuclear devices for peaceful purposes. Voting was 48 in favour, 1 against (India) and 59 abstentions, including Australia. The resolution, which was mainly a Pakistan initiative, did not arouse much enthusiasm at the time, as is evident from the voting.
3. In 1967, an 11-nation committee made the initial preparations for the conference, and recommended that nuclear weapon states should be invited to participate in the conference with full rights except the right to vote. The Assembly adopted on 19th December, 1967, resolution 2346 (XXII) B, which approved the recommendations of the preparatory committee and decided to convene the conference from 29th August to 28th September, 1968. Voting was 90 (Australia) in favour, none against and 8 abstentions.
[matter omitted]
16. On the basis of an examination of the provisional agenda and statements during the non-proliferation debate, and of reports from Australian diplomatic missions, the political committee is likely to be concerned in the main with two subjects:
- Disarmament: Certain non-aligned countries are likely to argue that the nuclear powers must make (and be seen to be making) more rapid progress towards nuclear disarmament, so as to balance the non-nuclear countries' self-denial in regard to the acquisition of nuclear weapons. Item 3, in particular, could direct the discussion of disarmament into difficult paths for the nuclear powers.
- Security of non-nuclear countries: Some countries will argue under item 1 that the security assurances associated with the non-proliferation treaty are deficient, and must be supported by more precise guarantees from the nuclear powers. Under this heading, the question of a declaration by the nuclear powers that they would not in any circumstances use their nuclear weapons against non-nuclear countries may arise. (This was urged several times during the non-proliferation debate in the UN, and has been mentioned, for example, by the Yugoslavs, as a possible topic for the non-nuclears' conference.)
[matter omitted]
Australia's Position
18. The conference will thus probably develop in at least two main directions. The first will be concerned with elaborating upon or elucidating the provisions of the non-proliferation treaty. The second, which would be more independent of the treaty although still linked with it, would be aimed at extracting from the nuclear powers concessions in the fields of security and disarmament, and in regard to the peaceful uses of nuclear developments. In addition there will probably be moves by some countries in a political direction which would have the effect of impeding the military effectiveness of the United States; such moves might be made under the foregoing headings, and will need careful and subtle handling by the United States and its associates.
19. The outcome of the conference seems likely to affect, to a greater or lesser degree, the attitude towards the non-proliferation treaty of a considerable number of countries, including those countries which Cabinet designated as significant to Australia.
20. In this situation, Australian representation at the conference would enable us:
- to defend, and where possible further to establish, interpretations of importance to Australia regarding the non-proliferation treaty, particularly in the fields of safeguards and the peaceful uses of nuclear energy;
- to work towards establishing common ground and closer association with those countries that are important to us;
- to help where necessary in the maintenance of Western positions of importance to Australia in the fields of disarmament, weapons control and security.
21. In regard to (c), the Australian delegation would want to oppose efforts to restrict the nuclear powers in their right to use and to deploy their nuclear weapons for the protection of their allies. It would want specifically to oppose the emergence of any formula which would prevent the United States from using nuclear weapons to defend Australia.
22. Australia would have a positive interest in the discussion affecting articles IV and V of the treaty. It would want to defend the interpretations of those articles that are of concern to Cabinet. It would want to argue that under the treaty the exchange of nuclear information, materials, and equipment should be as free as possible, and to keep open the option for countries to gain the advantage of the peaceful applications of nuclear explosions pursuant to bilateral agreements with nuclear powers.
23. With regard to safeguards, Australia would, where appropriate, want to press its views regarding the nature of the agreements to be concluded under the treaty. It would want to seek support for the principle that these arrangements must be as simple and non-intrusive as possible.
24. It is of course possible that extremists might take over at the conference with the consequence that the non-proliferation treaty would be interpreted in a way unsatisfactory to such countries as Australia; and also that unsound disarmament schemes would be adopted by majority vote. It is because of this possibility however that a full attendance of responsible nations is desirable. Such nations will at least be able to register substantial dissent from any unrealistic or mischievous proposals.
25. Finally, absence of Australia from the conference runs the risk of cutting Australia off from some useful forms of association with other countries, including the United States. The conference could lead to certain continuing international machinery in the nuclear field, and if Australia is not present at the conference, it might not be included in committees, etc. The practical impact of such machinery might or might not be negligible, but it would not, to say the least, look well for Australia to be out of all this.
26. I therefore consider that it would be in Australia's interests to be represented at the conference of non-nuclear nations to be held in Geneva from 29th August to 28th September. I recommend that the Secretary-General's invitation to attend be accepted and that the Australia delegation be directed to carry out the functions broadly described in paragraph 20 above.1

Hmmm, Akershus maybe, but then again I bet most people know about that...
I took my sister who looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ves cinderella to a cinderella dinner at 1900 park fare, but I wan to know if there are any other princess events that most people don't know about.
Oi with the poodles, already!
"This is how it starts. One muppet, Sesame Street in the morning, variety shows late at night. Next thing you know, you're selling your possesions on Main Street to pay for your next Muppet binge"
Hmmm, Akershus maybe, but then again I bet most people know about that...
"Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy"
Yes, that's probably it except for a meal in the Castle. The Akershus dinner doesn't have Cinderella, but all the other princesses. Pretty neat. I think the only meal where you can see Ariel up and walking around.
There is always the Pirate and Princess party which I believe is newly year round when it isn't Halloween or December.
Dreams Really Do Come True
There is Cinderella's Gala Feast, a character dinner at 1900 Park Fare at the Grand Floridian, too 1900 Park Fare Character Dinner Menu - Grand Floridian

Summers in the Station Wagon
My little family spent the week in Chicago visiting old friends and family. It is the first time we have done a long road trip with the 5-year-old. She's traveled to Europe twice, but never more than four hours in a car.
As we pulled out of our driveway, loaded down with juice boxes and granola bars, we told ourselves it would be a lot of fun, or we'd seriously dislike each other after nearly eight hours in the car.
And it all went well. Let me tell you why: My kid was all about the portable DVD player. Exactly the crack we swore we'd never push before we had a child.
When I was a kid and traveled from Miami to New Jersey or Disney World with my parents and younger brother, I think my brother and I each got a pillow, maybe a book, and that was about that. One particular northbound trip, we were lying in the back of the blue Pinto station wagon the whole way to Jersey, crammed in between suitcases and coolers. I remember my father had to pull over on I-95 and physically remove my clenched hand from my brother's thick brown hair. I am sure he said "carajo!"
My daughter traveled safely strapped into a car seat and barely looked up, even when we said: "Look how beautiful the prairie in Indiana is!" Yeah, whatever. I remember sleeping right through my parents' encouraging me to wake up and look at the buildings in our nation's capital. Yeah, whatever.
One night in Chicago, I had dinner with six friends from college. While we spent much of the time thumbing through old pictures of us with big hair and no crows feet, I told them about the blue Pinto experience. A couple of them told of how they too traveled perilously in cars, and in the back of pick-up trucks during summer escapes in the '70s and '80s. Our children, who were playing in the grass nearby, won't ever tell summer survival stories of bouncing around in the back of a station wagon while on a major interstate, will likely remain plugged in past the prairie.
Que pena. At least about the plugged in part.
Next time, I may just forget the power adapter.
What's your summer travel story?

Yes it is a bit better than Dirt but not much. Again, too expensive for what you get. It didn't weigh down my fine hair as much as the original Dirt did but it didn't really do anything fabulous for it either.

I really like this product. I doesn't weigh down my fine, oily hair. I really like the scent. I think it smells like chocolate and marschino cherries, which yes, many might find unpleasant. Overall its a bit expensive, but a little goes a long way.

I received a sample of this from Sephora and was worried that this would leave my hair looking dirty or greasy. Still I was determined to at least try it, so I would style my hair, (blow out, flat iron) and then smooth a tiny amount of this onto my tips. It did help with frizziness but I wasn't overly impressed as I do use Frederik Fekkai's glossing cream and get a similar effect. However, one morning I decided to use it as a styling creme on my damp hair and the difference was incredible! I use this on my roots and mid shaft and blow dry as usual than flat iron and the end result is sleek and styled! It gives hair great shape and control without looking greasy or over styled. I love it and will definitely repurchase when I run out!

I received a sample of this from Sephora and for a long time didn't do anything with it. One day after I showered I knew I was going to have to shower again that night so I decided to give it a shot. I used a pretty good amount of the sample, not the whole thing but maybe like at third of the tube.
I never expected what it did. I came back into the bathroom and my hair was curly!! I loved it.
the only problem was because of the humidity it started becoming a bit frizzy so I decided to purchase the product at Sephora that night but also bought the weightless smooth after testing it out against Phyto's antifizz creame.
Now I can have straight or curly hair!

This stuff is pretty cool. It smells like chocolate, which is kind of tacky. It doesn't make my hair that shiny though. It gives a little bit of hold, which I need sometimes. The best part about this stuff is that its VEGAN! No animal testing! :) That alone will make me buy a product.

This is my new favorite product. I received a sample of it but didn't know what to do with it. I was worried it would make my hair look dirty and greasy but it didn't. I use a tiny amount and it transforms my hair from being puffy and frizzy to smooth and styled. When my sample runs out I will definitely purcahse the full sized product.

I love this stuff. This is my favorite styling product and one of the very few that works well for my super fine hair. I've tried a lot of styling products over the years that do not work for me, but this one is the best. I've been told I have a lot of hair (I seriously question that) that is super fine. I think I have an average amount of hair that is super fine. I have to wash my hair every day because it just doesn't look good if I don't. Most things weigh my hair down. But stuff works great to separate and lift my hair some. As other reviewers point out, you only need a tiny, tiny amount. Too much and it will weigh my hair down. But just a little works really well. I first tried some samples from Sephora. I wasn't expecting much. A sample lasted forever because it took such a little amount of product to make a difference with my hair. I went through another sample before I knew I had to invest in a full-sized tube. It's a BIG tube, so it'll last me for a LONG time. I highly recommend this to women with fine hair. It's the best styling product I've found.

Although I find the scent a bit cloying, Silky Dirt is a great and easy styling aid. A tiny bit goes a long way, so though the tube is rather small, it should last for ages. I have wavy, shoulder-length hair of medium thickness, and a dab of this eliminates frizz and makes my hair soft and shiny. Though I'm sure I won't run out any time soon, I'll repurchase when I do.

Great, light styling product. It goes on super-smooth, smells great, and holds a natural style all day. I put Oscar Blandi Jasmine Oil on my damp hair, then apply this after blow-drying. No hair spray needed (thank goodness). I've gotten 2 samples from Sephora and am about to purchase a "real" bottle of the stuff. I love it.
Update: Just bought my first full bottle. I still love the stuff, but the bottle felt enormous after using the samples for so long, and I ended up using too much my first few times. My hair ended up looking just a little too greasy and the smell was way too strong. You do not need very much of this product to make it work!!

I have thick asian hair. Not coarse, just lots and lots of hair. This gives me control over the flyaways and leaves me with smooth hair with just a little bit of texture. I got a couple samples packets with my Sephora order and I just splurged on a full tube. I use it VERY sparingly and only from mid section down to the ends since too much can leave me with a greaseball feeling. One lippie off because the smell, although nice, is WAY too overpowering. Tone it down a bit Jonathan!

Politico, meanwhile, already has an "ideas" piece that hurries to take up the question underlying the MSNBC segment, which is perhaps shaping up to be the political stumper du jour. In Gebe Martinez's words, Republicans "must figure out how to legitimately question Sotomayor's judicial temperament without looking like they are attacking her on the basis of her gender and ethnic background," a quandary "the White House, Democrats and Latino leaders are relishing as they all but dare Republicans to oppose the first ever Hispanic appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court." Here's hoping that coverage of political maneuvering around the diversity angle doesn't trip over itself in an attempt to jump on the sensationalist bandwagon.
Finally, if anyone worried that hyperbole wouldn't be a part of day one's reactions, The Nation comes to the rescue with the headline: "Obama Pick Sonia Sotomayor Reflects America."

In the final days of the campaign, Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama will be working to help his party gain a super majority in Congress.
Obama is planning radio ads for Democrats in tight races, focusing particularly on helping Senate candidates.
Analysts say it's possible Democrats could reach 60 seats in the Senate, which would keep Republicans from blocking Democratic legislation.
Some Democrats have asked Obama to use portions of his record-high contributions for their races.
But the Obama campaign says the presidential race is too close for them to share that money.

My question: what do you think of room in a box? I read about it here, on GW, and checked into it. There aren't any reviews other than Gwyneth Paltrow's blog. But, if they do what they say they will do I think it is a great service. My background: I really struggled with decorating the main floor. It has been a year and I am just finishing up. I live in a rural area and almost everything has to be done online. It is SO hard to buy something without seeing it in person. In my area, there aren't ANY pure decorators. The only help I can get is to go to a home decor store and have them help me. They only use their merchandise and will work with what I have existing. When I tried doing that I felt like they wanted to just gather everything on their showroom floor and arrange it in my house. It just didn't sit well with me. But, they are very talented. So, I find room in a box tempting. I also think it is expensive. But, because I don't have anything to compare it to, I guess I don't know what a interior decorator costs. Do you have other suggestions? On the main floor my struggle was finding what I wanted because I knew in my head what I wanted to do. The basement is an after thought and I just don't have any concrete ideas other than I want it to be very masculine with a little hints of glam thrown in. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Another option is to post a photo of a room here and ask for suggestions. But as for the home decor store, it seems to me that they are doing what you would want them to: work with your things and select other things from their showroom that would work in your house. What about that didn't sit well with you? |
What didn't set well was that I was pretty specific about some of the things I wanted to see. I showed them an inspiration photo and told them that I liked the circles, pops of black, and wanted art of city landscapes. I was surprised that they had everything ready to go within a couple of days. I walked every inch of their showroom and there wasn't anything I felt I had to have. I asked to see what they had in mind before the "install". They showed me very nice things but nothing was what I saw in my minds eye and was items I passed just days prior. None of the patterns were circles, there wasn't any black, and the art was the right color for the room but looked like I could paint it myself (something I specifically asked to avoid). So, I felt that I would have a well decorated room but nothing reflected what I wanted in the space. I am not as fussy in the basement and I am tempted to ask them to do it but I still have apprehension. When I told them my concerns they told me that I could return anything that I don't like. They explained that once I saw everything together and how it all worked together that I would love it, even though I didn't like the individual elements. I think that is valid. At the same time, I have a theory that I should never buy anything that I don't love. So, it just didn't sit well with me. |

Maybe you're a 'candidate' for Decorating Den. I've never used the service , but do know it's been around for years. They come to your home bringing all the samples, but as for furniture, I don't know how that works. Here's. a link. |
Here is a link that might be useful: link
I can understand your frustration. I don't have a lot of resources close by and shopping online seems risky since you can't see it in person. Have you found any inspiration photos - a picture can be helpful in getting across your vision. |
Patty Cakes: I called Decorating Den and there isn't anyone in my area. The closest is 2 hours away and the person I talked to didn't think they would come that far. I don't blame them. I liked the rooms that they did on their website. I am disappointed. |

There are a few bloggers out there who do e designs. A few phone calls and pictures of your space, your decor style and a design (with sources) is sent to you. I believe the cost is a flat fee. |
I've looked at room in a box out of curiosity and think that--- for what you get, their fees are high. Jmo, and my guy is now $250 per hour, so I know it isn't cheap, but you are paying a full design fee for a small room for just the initial presentation, not the full service. However, I don't like Windsor Smith's work on a good day for a top dollar, high end client, so Im probably the wrong person to opine on their mail order business. |
Came across this article in BHG re: online interior decorating services |
Here is a link that might be useful: A Guide to Online Design Services
I am in contact with someone that Joanie put me in touch with and I am waiting to hear back. Thank you so much Joanie! I am pretty excited. I think she is a perfect match for me. Rather: I hope I am able to work with Joanie's suggested designer but if it doesn't work out, will you help me find them? KSWL, I agree. I am not familiar with Windsor but I wasn't a huge fan of the rooms on her website. I was still open minded because the website says they design around the customers taste. I was pretty disappointed that they charge for a full room regardless of what is needed. I have some spaces within a room that I would like help with. Or, I would like help the backsplash that I mentioned in another thread. I don't want to pay their full room price for the little things I have left in these spaces and they don't offer that kind of help. Arapaho, thank you for the link! |
Boo. The designer I emailed can't help me right now. Any other suggestions? |
There are so many talented people here .. can you show some photos of what you like or are thinking about? |
Thank you, arapaho. I have gotten so much help here. I worry that I will become annoying--like a fly on a hot day by the time I finish. I think the issue right now is that I haven't decided on a direction. I am looking through Houzz trying to figure out the colors and look that I want. |

I have a Craftsman opener, model 139.53985D. It is not quite 5 years old. Out of the blue, it started having trouble closing the door. It will open perfectly, but when closing, it may go 6 inches or an inch or a foot and then stop. It does not reverse like it would with a sensor obstruction or if it hit something. I also noticed that the lights just flicker when it stops, they don't really flash like when there's a problem otherwise. It may take several seconds for it to respond to the remote again (or the wall panel) and when it does, it will still continue down. Takes 2 or 3 minutes to get the door closed this way! I took it all apart and ran it disassembled. I noticed that the motor got very hot after running it through several cycles, but perhaps that's normal for this motor meant to run only a few seconds at a time. DOes this sound like a logic board problem? Any way to tell for sure? Can get a new board for $65. Would pay that if I knew it would fix it. We have had a lot of storms lately. Lightning damage to board? It looks new. When lightning once took out the board on my dad's opener, it was completely dead and you could see the burnt components on the board. Thank you in advance for any help. |

It sure sounds like a logic board. I cannot think of any other reason that would cause it to just stop like that on the way down. Check the logic board for burnt or missing traces on the printed circuit. |

You can get lightning damage on GDO boards without any visible burn marks. I've had it. The board looked like new, but did not work at all. In another life, I repaired hundreds of communications equipment circuit boards of a certain type that failed due to lightning strikes. Not a single one had visible damage. I have also had other equipment take a strike and end up looking like someone tossed a grenade in there. Lightning is very unpredictable. Just an FYI, not a guarantee that you really do have lightning damage. |
