Steam is nothing more than a gimmick in washers. Just get a good machine with an on-board heater and ignore all the steam gimmicks. In a dryer, steam may help with relaxing wrinkles. But then again, you can do the same in a non-steam dryer by lightly spraying your clothes with water and putting them into the dryer on low heat setting. |
I have an LG set with steam on both the washer and drier. Honestly, I haven't used them beyond the initial "trial" run. I just didn't notice a difference. I wouldn't NOT buy a set because they have a steam option, but I also wouldn't spend more to get the option. |

I think Consumer Reports said that steam only boosted cleaning performance insignificantly - in both washing machines and dishwashers. If you look at service documentation from Whirlpool, for example, you will find that the Steam Sanitize function uses the heater to raise the water temp to 153°F and then the steam generator kicks in to heat to the final 155°F - big deal. I honestly think that, if washers have perfectly cleaned laundry for decades without steam, then I don't see why I should spend money on such a feature. The only practical application for steam is used by dry cleaners, where a powerful jet of steam is aimed straight at stains to actually blast dirt particles away from the fibres. That is not what happens in a washer, though. All the machines do is fill the drum with steam - kinda like hanging your clothes in a hot shower and waiting for the lingering steam to clean them... In the dryer, steam can help to remove odors and, to a lesser extend, wrinkles - it works better with synthetic fibres. A good detergent and proper cycle selection is far more important than steam, in my opinon. Alex |

Japan doesn't get LA Noire until the 7th of July, but a fresh batch of images released just for Japanese consumers showcase some more of the game's environments, not to mention glimpses at some gunplay and admirably brutish-looking fisticuffsmanship.
Players feeling their hobby lacks the international cachet of the festival-film world are free to peek at these subtitled shots of the game's characters and pretend they're watching an Akira Kurosawa movie (he was the feller did the movie that Star Wars was based on); all others, just enjoy yet another taster of a title whose every newly-released detail commands the power to launch fresh volleys of speculation and anticipation.
Above: You can see the rest of the new batch of Japanese LA Noire screenshots here
Above: A brand new Max 3 image!
Rockstar has also released a passel of new pics for their other upcoming noir-influenced crime epic, Max Payne 3; however, turns out you've seen almost all of these before and all they did was peel off the watermark. Here's the one bona-fide new image, which doesn't exactly blow the lid off the Payne 3 development with its revelation that the new game will feature violent gunplay in grimy locations. Still, it's kind of what you're signing on for, right?

Curb appeal is important, especially in a buyer's market. While you don't need to spend thousands of dollars on exotic landscaping to attract potential buyers (and most people would actually be turned off if you did .. who wants to inherit that kind of upkeep?), you will be expected to have a well-kept lawn.
So, how does crabgrass fit into the equation? Crabgrass truly isn't bad for your lawn. It's just, well, grass. But the one major difference of note between crabgrass and Bermuda or St. Augustine, popular choices for Houston homeowners, is that crabgrass is an annual grass. What does this mean? This means your yard will look great in Spring and early Summer while the grass is alive and kicking. But come late Summer and Fall, you'll likely find patchy, brown spots in your yard where the crabgrass has died, only to be reborn from the seeds it spends the late Summer spreading when the following Spring hits.
Preventing crabgrass from overtaking your yard can be as simple as:
- Not mowing your lawn too short (aim for 3.5-4 inches in height)
- Re-seeding any damaged areas or brown patches you find in your yard (if you plant something else, you'll reduce the number of places crabgrass has to sprout!)
- Not overwatering (aim for no more than twice a week to prevent all those little crabgrass seeds from sprouting in your soil)
- Pulling out existing crabgrass by hand (if you only notice a few instances of crabgrass, this is an easy solution)
- Using chemicals to kill existing crabgrass (an easier solution if your lawn is overrun with crabgrass)
Lawn care is not everyone's favorite household task, we know. But preventive measures and maintenance can make keeping a tidy yard much easier. And when you're ready to sell your home, you won't have to shell out tons of money to have new grass installed. More importantly, you won't have to lose out on potential buyers because of a sad-looking yard.
Are pests your yard's biggest problem? If your lawn is being ravaged by insects or pesky small animals, we can help. Schedule in-home service with our Houston pest control company today.

When it comes to making the steady climb up the career ladder, social media connections have a huge impact. A recent article from Baltimore Business Journal argues that, "social connectivity may be more important to your future career success than your intelligence." If the typical American has around 600 relationships online and off, what can you gain from developing your professional network?
- Referrals. Social networking tools like LinkedIn are great for creating professional relationships. You can ask for referrals and feedback from people you've worked with. You may work really hard at work, but you make your skills and appeal more visible when you use social media to help you climb.
- Recognition. If you are an expert on a certain professional topic, then why not talk about it online in the right setting? Twitter has tweetchats that used hashtags to denote a specific topic and millions of interested tweeters tune in to listen. LinkedIn has professional groups and organizations dedicated to specific subjects. Jump in and be heard. You never know what kind of job offer or relationship you could build because of your participation. Get known on your social networks as an expert.
- Relationship Continuity. Keep tabs on your professional relationships instead of only depending on them when you really need them. Rather then shuffling through dusty business cards in your Rolodex, you can access the people you need through social media. You may not have spoken directly with a connection on your social network, but that person may be more approachable if you've maintained that social relationship over time.
Professional networking has changed, and those who understand how to leverage their social connections have the advantage when it comes to career advancement. The old adage "it's who you know" still rings true, and now it's time to make the most of your social networks!

PHOENIX (AP) - State Treasurer Doug Ducey has won the Republican primary for Arizona governor, topping five other candidates with a campaign focused on his business experience in leading a chain of ice cream parlors. Ducey has served as state treasurer for the last four years. Ducey will face Democrat Fred DuVal in the November election.
Attorney General Tom Horne has been thrown out of office in the Republican primary after a rocky first term. Horne lost the primary to the state's former top gambling regulator, Mark Brnovich. Brnovich attacked Horne for the many investigations that have hounded the incumbent in his first term. Horne has consistently denied wrongdoing. Brnovich will face Democrat Felecia Rotellini in the November election.
John Huppenthal is out of office after one term as Arizona's top education official. Huppenthal went down in the Republican primary for superintendent of public instruction after acknowledging that he made a series of offensive, anonymous Internet postings. He lost to Diane Douglas, who focused almost all of her campaign on repealing the Obama administration-supported Common Core education standards.
State Sen. Michele Reagan has won the Republican primary for secretary of state. Reagan cruised to victory in a three-way race for the GOP nomination with state Rep. Justin Pierce and businessman Will Cardon. The secretary of state is Arizona's top elections officer and also becomes governor if there's a midterm vacancy in that office. She will face former Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard in the general election.

The communities of
Madison, Suwannee and Hamilton have been dealing with sewage spillages for several years from Withlacoochee Wastewater Treatment Plant in Valdosta, Ga.
Cindy Vees, Chamber of Commerce Executive Director, has sent a letter to Gov. Rick Scott on March 25, addressing the "long lasting negative economic impact" that this is having on the community of Madison.
"This ongoing system has had, and will continue to have devastating economic impact on our local economy and tourism," said Vees in her letter to the Governor.
In this letter, Vees stated she knows "we can depend on the State of Florida to seek not only a solution to the problem, but economic restitution from the State of Georgia for the counties that are being affected."
According to the letter, over a million gallons of untreated wastewater has spilled into waterways that come through Madison County.
On March 11, Allen Cherry, Madison County Coordinator, sent an email to Larry Hanson, Valdosta City Manager, requesting a synopsis of the spillage that occurred on February 22 and a timeline for the temporary construction that may help the spillage problem and the construction of the new sewer treatment facility.
On March 12, Hanson responded to the email that the spillage issue was not a raw sewerage spill but a permit violation.
"Full treatment was not completed to the permit requirement on total suspended solids," said Hanson in the email to Cherry.
On March 12, Hanson responded to the email that, in the past year, "the city has completed $2.5 million in short term repairs to the existing plant. Short of a regional flood event, we are optimistic that we will not experience a major raw sewerage spill."
According to the email that Hanson sent to Cherry, the City of Valdosta has two projects to complete the permanent solution. The first one will be to build a new force main system, which will replace the gravity-fed system. Along with the new system, the City of Valdosta will build two lift stations, which will be over 40 feet deep and will be replacing miles of lines that are in low laying areas. According to Hanson, the second project is constructing the new wastewater management plant and the City of Valdosta will select the team to design and build it in May.
In the letter, Vees also addressed that "our tourism revenues do not meet the recent reported tourism trends by Visit Florida."
According to Vees, Visit Florida's President and CEO, Will Seccombe, contacted her after receiving a copy of her letter, and thanked her for bringing it to their attention and wanted to know what Visit Florida could do to support Madison.

Blog | Michael Lewis speaks
PUBLISHED: 13 Jun 2013 11:55:00 | UPDATED: 15 Jun 2013 08:14:54PRINT EDITION: 13 Jun 2013Author and financial journalist Michael Lewis chronicled the madness of the subprime bubble before it burst in The Big Short, and then its aftermath in Boomerang: The Meltdown Tour. Photo: Louise Kennerley
Will Glasgow
Michael Lewis made his name with an extraordinary first-hand account of the mid-1980s bond market boom, Liar's Poker. The book introduced the world to the "Biggest Swinging Dicks" of them all: the hamburger-chomping, foul-mouthed, outrageously profitable Salomon Brothers mortgage department.
Lewis also chronicled the madness of the subprime bubble before it burst in The Big Short and then its aftermath in Boomerang: The Meltdown Tour. And he followed President Barack Obama for six months, with extraordinary access, for a profile for Vanity Fair.
In an Australian first, the ex-bond trader and financial journalist spoke at a lunch organised by The Australian Financial Review Magazine. You can read our blog of the event and watch some of the highlights below.
2.37pm: The tables are being packed up. Denton, Sevoir and Co have left the building. And Michael Lewis has run off – but not before we got a little memento.
Signing off with a freshly signed copy of Liar's Poker.
Thanks for joining us.
2.30pm: Well, Lewis has left the room. But before we sign out...
We just spoke to Nick Minchin and we were completely wrong. No class president elections for him – he didn't even get into uni politics during his Australian National University days. He went straight in, he assures us, to the big league to work for the federal Liberal Party.
Oh, and he loved the talk and has all the books.
2.15pm: The Financial Review's Phil Baker, also a former bond trader, asks a question about Lewis's investment strategy.
"The first thing I'd say is, if you're asking me, you're in trouble … You're obviously in trouble."
We should point out that Phil Baker is an investment guru, whatever Lewis might say, and not in trouble at all. You know, you've read his stuff.
2.10pm: Ouch. Look away anyone from Sky Business.
Here's Lewis, in answer to a question from the floor on rolling news coverage and investing: "It's pretty hard to imagine anyone who's good at investing paying any attention to what happened on [24-hour business news channel] CNBC."
Lewis says Obama made a point of not watching cable news, saying it was "toxic" and got in the way of clear thinking. "I think that's probably good advice for everyone in investment."
2.03pm: Lewis is telling us about political characters, about political people. He's not a big fan of most: "They all reminded me of people who were running for class president. They leave me cold," says Lewis.
Hard to tell what former finance minister Nick Minchin's face looks like right now. We'll try to get an answer in a bit.
1.58pm: Lewis is telling us about a game he played with President Obama: if I was to take over as president at the end of the day, what advice would you give me?
Obama didn't quite understand the game. "He had a lot of trouble with the idea that I was the president," says Lewis.
1.54pm: Well, we've had our lamb and we've had a chat to Andrew Denton – a huge Lewis fan. And now, on with the show.
Lewis is back on stage and we're kicking off with the Vanity Fair Obama profile, which Lewis has just revealed began with an "inebriated email" to the President's press secretary.
What was the process like to set up the piece?
"It was like a Goldman Sachs job interview."
1.29pm: Time for everyone to take a break and dig into that lamb. Then it's time for questions from the audience.
1.23pm: Moneyball's come up and things have quickly turned blue.
Lewis tells the story of the first time he saw a top baseball team without their clothes on. He says they didn't look like professional athletes – they looked more like investment bankers.
"It was a really appalling sight!"
Somewhere in here, amongst the "defective" bodies, is a parable about market failure. The audience, including many bruised investment bankers, is absorbed.
1.16pm: Just as in the mid-80s – the years covered in Liar's Poker – in the recent subprime crisis the people running the world's big financial firms didn't understand what was going on inside their firms. Which, in a way, is good news for Lewis.
"Right now, from a writer's point of view, Wall Street is the gift that keeps on giving," Lewis says.
He says he thought Liar's Poker would mark the end of an era. Instead, it was just the beginning. Gulp.
1.10pm:BREAKING: Michael Lewis has just confessed that he inadvertently created the subprime crisis.
While researching The Big Short, his account of the crisis, Lewis says he interviewed people – "young men, who knew nothing about anything" – who told him: "You're the reason I'm in the business."
These young, smart, self-interested finance guys said Liar's Poker is what inspired them to join Wall Street.
" I thought, sweet Jesus, I created this crisis!"
1.07pm: Here's a photo of Michael Lewis looking relaxed and comfortable ... before the questions began.
Photo: Louise Kennerley
1.00pm: So why the return to writing about Wall Street? asks Cornell.
Lewis says he can't quite believe that he is. "I thought that, when I wrote Liar's Poker, we had reached a point of absurdity that we would never see again," he says. And then it happened all over again.
12.55pm: Michael Lewis steps up in a soft pink open-necked shirt and pin-striped grey suit. He's with AFR senior writer Andrew Cornell, who will be interviewing him.
12.52pm: Hywood's giving a brief account of the Financial Review's role in the world.
"Its voice is still needed now, more than ever," says Hywood. Hear hear!
Now he's welcoming Lewis, "the chronicler of financial excess", and admitting he's a touch jealous of Lewis's writing prowess.
"As a writer, I was a pretty good bricklayer," Hywood confesses. Not so Mr Lewis.
12.45pm: And it's begun with a brief intro from Jeni Porter, thanking UBS's Matt Grounds and Qantas's Olivia Wirth – and now it's over to Fairfax boss Greg Hywood.
12.41pm: As the guests take there seats – yes, that was Denton and Byrne – an update on Michael Lewis's time in Australia so far.
Apparently he's mad for Sydney – thinks its residents have no idea how lucky they are. Bless.
Yesterday, Lewis did the Bridge Climb with his daughter. "It couldn't possibly take that long to climb?" he thought when told how long it was. He was then introduced – at great length – to Australia's rigorous OH&S culture.
12.36pm: The guests are coming through from drinks in the foyer. Looks like proceedings should get under way soon.
12.30pm: So that's the food. Now who will be eating it?
Roger Corbett is joined by Fairfax chief executive Greg Hywood.
Superstar fundy John 'The Cardigan' Sevior is also here along with a fair chunk of the country's brokers.
WorleyParsons chairman John Grill, Hoyts boss and All Black legend David Kirk and Qantas's new marketing boss Olivia Wirth are all making an appearance. Her beau, union chief Paul Howes, hasn't been spotted but we will keep you updated.
And is that ABC power couple Andrew Denton and Jennifer Byrne? I think it is...
12.19pm: Phew! There's no quail – and no political satire – on today's lunch menu. The Australian Financial Review Magazine editor Jeni Porter and the gang are much too classy for that. Guests will be served salmon gravlax with pencil asparagus and confit potato, followed by a rump of lamb and white bean cassoulet.
12.12pm: Among those in the audience we have: UBS head of investment banker Guy Fowler and Fairfax Media chairman Roger Corbett.
Photo: Louise Kennerley
12.03pm: And the stage is set...
Photo: Louise Kennerley
12.00pm: Before the event gets started, let's have a peek at some of the highlights from the Lewis oeuvre.
Here are a few classics the Financial Review has published in the past few years:
• "When I moved to London for graduate school back in the early 1980s, the city felt as if it existed for just about every purpose other than for people to make money ... In the middle of any work day, an extraordinary number of grown-ups looked as if they had just gotten out of bed."
• "On August 5, 2011, moments after the US government watched a rating agency lower its credit rating for the first time in American history, the market for US Treasury bonds soared. Four days later, the interest rates paid by the US government on its new 10-year bonds had fallen to the lowest level on record, 2.04 per cent."
And here's something the AFR's own bond guru-cum-journo Jonathan Shapiro wrote about Lewis's Moneyball, an account of a year spent with the Oakland As, the poorest team in baseball.
"At its heart, Moneyball is an underdog triumph of intellect over endowment. The Oakland As had the lowest payroll in baseball but managed to compete and beat richer teams by turning to obscure number crunchers who questioned the values assigned by conventional baseball wisdom."

February 26, 2013: "Restructuring the K-12 Funding System," an analysis of Governor Brown's two-tiered proposal for the 2013-14 budget year was released Friday by the Legislative Analyst's Office (LAO), the nonpartisan, independent agency that serves the California Legislature.
The Governor proposes to "replace the vast majority" of funding formulas with basically two formulas: one for school districts and charter schools, and the other to county offices of education.
The first formula relaces "per-pupil funding rates based on historical factors and varying participation in categorical programs," with a uniform base per-pupil rate for each of four grade spans -- a base rate that would then get bonuses ("augmented by supplements") for: needier students (defined as foster children, kids from low-income families, and English learners); districts with high concentrations of needier students; students in grades K-3 [whither Transitional Kindergarten students?]; and high school students.
Brown is proposing to give each high-needs student an extra 35 percent of the base grant – from $2,220 for those in K-3 to $2,688 for those in high school – money that would be phased in over seven years as extra funding from Proposition 30 and a rejuvenated economy becomes available. The LAO said the 35 percent supplement is "somewhat high" but still "within the range" of what other states provide for similar students as well as what California research studies recommended. [John Fensterwald, EdSource]
As Teresa Watanabe reported in the Los Angeles Times on Sunday, Brown's proposal has drawn "mixed reactions":
...In the well-heeled Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District, poverty and limited English are not widespread problems. But officials there say their student needs include more expensive Advanced Placement classes to challenge them with college-level material in high school.
Who should get more state educational dollars?... under [Brown's] new funding formula: Anaheim would receive an estimated $11,656 per student annually; Palos Verdes would get $8,429 ...
"It's great news," said Darren Dang, Anaheim's assistant superintendent of administrative services. "Given our demographics, we'll be getting much-needed resources for our students."
But Lydia Cano, Palos Verdes' deputy superintendent of business services, said she believed the new scheme would shortchange her students. Disadvantaged students already receive a bigger share of state and federal dollars, she said.
"It's not fair," she said. "It will make the divide even bigger."....
The LAO finds Brown's proposals "simple and transparent" and the proposed rates for both the base per-pupil money and the bonus, "reasonable." However, some "notable modifications" were recommended, "specificially" changing some of the calculation requirements and "strengthening spending requirements" to enrue that the bonus money actually translates "into additional services for the [targeted] student groups."
In the details of the LAO report, are two recommended changes that are likely to "stir up controversies," according to John Fensterwald, writing in today's EdSource.
...Both changes would cut state money going to some politically powerful districts. One pertains to how much state money should go to property-rich communities, like Irvine, Beverly Hills and Palo Alto, that fund schools mostly on their own, without significant state aid. Comprising about 10 percent of districts, they're known as "basic aid." Brown would grandfather the state money that the districts do get through categorical programs; the LAO views this position as a giveaway to well-off districts. The analysis doesn't say how much money would be saved.
The other change involves the treatment of two categorical programs, totaling $1.3 billion: home-to-school transportation and a categorical program established to fund desegregation programs that predominantly benefit Los Angeles Unified and a few urban districts. As with the basic aid districts, Brown would grandfather money districts get from these programs. The LAO argues that position contradicts Brown's goal of creating a uniform, rational funding system...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gentoo Weekly Newsletter http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/current.xml This is the Gentoo Weekly Newsletter for the week of December 15th, 2003. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============== 1. Gentoo News ============== Summary ------- * Gentoo Managers' Meeting Summary: 1 Dec. 2003 The summary[1] and log[2] for the Gentoo Managers' Meeting held on December 1 have been posted to the Gentoo Managers' Meetings[3] page. At this meeting, a new release naming scheme for Gentoo, a status update on GLEP 14, and automatic acceptance of licenses was discussed. 1. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/manager-meetings/summaries/2003/200312 01.xml 2. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/manager-meetings/logs/2003/20031201.tx t 3. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/manager-meetings/index.xml Under the new release naming scheme, outlined on the Release Engineering[4] page and accepted unanimously by the managers, the naming scheme will be "2004.1" for the first release of next year. 4. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng/ GLEP 14[5] is designed to "check a Gentoo system for identified security holes or auto-apply security fixes." Developer Marius Mauch[6] outlined the progress of its implementation: the DTD needs to be finalized, a website with GLSAs using an XSL stylesheet is complete but lacks an index and is not online, and a QT tool to aide the writing of GLSAs is being written. (Update: the DTD has been rewritten completely, which will delay everything by a few weeks.) Also, inclusion in Portage will have to wait until the ability to sign files is implemented. 5. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/glep/glep-0014.html 6. email@example.com Lastly, in response to the many threads in gentoo-dev requesting the ability to arbitrarily accept certain licenses, a make.conf variable called ACCEPT_LICENSES similar to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS is being planned. Since this will require a change to Portage, a GLEP will be written to outline the design philosophy and implementation details. ================================= 2. Featured Developer of the Week ================================= Robin Hugh Johnson Figure 2.1: Robin Hugh Johnson http://www.gentoo.org/images/gwn/20031215_robbat2.jpg This week's featured developer is Robin Hugh Johnson[7] (robbat2), the primary maintainer for Gentoo's PHP[8] and QMail[9] packages (among others), as well as one of the CVS administrators and a lead for developing a Web Application installer, as specified in GLEP 11[10]. He has been a Linux user since 1997, cycling through Redhat and other distros before settling in with Slackware in 1999. He tried Gentoo in late 2002 and very soon thereafter converted all of his boxen over to the new distro. 7. email@example.com 8. http://www.php.net/ 9. http://www.qmail.org/ 10. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/glep/glep-0011.html Robin became a developer by way of his annoyance with USE flags and their tracking. He put together some scripts for managing them more efficiently and posted them to bugzilla[11]. The end result were some proposed changes to ufed and an invitation to Robin to become a developer to implement them. His responsibilities have steadily increased since then. Robin is no newcomer to open source development - he was a core contributor to the phpMyAdmin[12] project, where he wrote the entire parser and query coloring/syntax highlighting system. 11. http://bugs.gentoo.org 12. http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/ Robin is a former native of Durban, South Africa who is currently living and working just outside Vancouver, Canada. A former professional Systems Administrator, he is now employed as a part-time Zope[13] and Linux consultant while he attends school at the former Technical University of British Columbia (now Simon Fraser University - Surrey). He currently shares his home with his parents and an even dozen computers. He frequently finds himself working from Windows, with several PuTTY[14] windows and Cygwin/X[15] running. The first application he launches in Linux is GKrellM[16]. In Windows, it is WinAmp[17]. He is also fond of Vim[18], CVS[19] and IntelliJ IDEA[20]. He uses FluxBox[21] for a WM and mutt[22] for mail. 13. http://www.zope.org/ 14. http://pu.tty.se/ 15. http://www.cygwin.com/xfree/ 16. http://web.wt.net/~billw/gkrellm/gkrellm.html 17. http://www.winamp.com/ 18. http://www.vim.org/ 19. http://www.cvshome.org/ 20. http://www.intellij.com/idea/ 21. http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/ 22. http://www.mutt.org/ When Robin isn't at a computer, he is usually reading, cycling or spending time with his fiance - he directs us to the gentoo-dev fortunes for more information on the latter. He offered a statement by the venerable Don Knuth as a favorite quote: "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it." Robin also told us that Gentoo is "not for those that can't read documentation!", and encourages people to check the docs twice before asking a dev - Gentoo's documentation is one of its strengths. ================== 3. Gentoo Security ================== Summary ------- * GLSA: cvs * GLSA: gnupg GLSA: cvs --------- Quote from http://ccvs.cvshome.org/servlets/NewsItemView?newsID=84: Stable CVS 1.11.10 has been released. Stable releases contain only bug fixes from previous versions of CVS. This release fixes a security issue with no known exploits that could cause previous versions of CVS to attempt to create files and directories in the filesystem root. This release also fixes several issues relevant to case insensitive filesystems and some other bugs. We recommend this upgrade for all CVS clients and servers!" * Severity: Minimal * Packages Affected: <=1.11.9 * Rectification: emerge sync; emerge -pv '>=dev-util/cvs-1.11.10'; emerge '>=dev-util/cvs-1.11.10'; emerge clean * GLSA Announcement[23] 23. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.announce/274 GLSA: gnupg ----------- Two flaws have been found in GnuPG 1.2.3. First, ElGamal signing keys can be compromised. These keys are not commonly used. Quote from http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2003q4/000276.html: "Phong Nguyen identified a severe bug in the way GnuPG creates and uses ElGamal keys for signing. This is a significant security failure which can lead to a compromise of almost all ElGamal keys used for signing. Note that this is a real world vulnerability which will reveal your private key within a few seconds." Second, there is a format string flaw in the 'gpgkeys_hkp' utility which "would allow a malicious keyserver in the worst case to execute an arbitrary code on the user's machine." See the advisory[24] for details. 24. http://www.s-quadra.com/advisories/Adv-20031203.txt * Severity: Minimal * Packages Affected: <1.2.3-r4 * Rectification: emerge sync; emerge -pv '>=app-crypt/gnupg-1.2.3-r5'; emerge '>=app-crypt/gnupg-1.2.3-r5'; emerge clean; * GLSA Announcement[25] 25. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.announce/275 New Security Bug Reports ------------------------ The following new security bugs were posted this week: * Trusted Platform Modules[26] * sec-policy/selinux-base-policy[27] 26. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35574 27. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35654 ========================= 4. Heard in the Community ========================= ALSA and the 2.6 Kernels One of those threads that have been lingering for months, went stale at times, only to be revived by latecomers with similar problems, slowly growing more and more interesting, and finally becoming an almost encompassing solution provider for anything that might go wrong with sound in 2.6.0-beta kernels: * ALSA & 2.6 kernel mini HOW-TO?[28] 28. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=97157 USB Automounter Genotix[29] was tired of manually mounting the filesystems on removable media. So he went and wrote his own script to automatically access a USB flash memory stick, and donated it to the Gentoo Forums: 29. http://forums.gentoo.org/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=37761 * USB Stick Automounter>[30] 30. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=113911 gentoo-user ----------- Gentoo Kernel Issues This week a few users reported USB problems with the 2.4.20-gentoo-r9 kernel. A bug was filed in Bugzilla[31], and you might want to read[32] the thread if you've experienced problems. 31. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35342 32. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/57631 Sound File Compression One of the more interesting posts this week involved testing the compression levels of some different audio compression codecs, like ogg, mp3, and interestingly, bz2. Some good reading, as well as insight on how sound compression works. Check it out[33]. 33. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/57546 Planning on Failure When you have a Dad, a Gentoo Linux PC, and 350 miles between you and them, how do you ensure reliability? Mark Knecht presented this intriguing question and got plenty of useful suggestions[34] that could be helpful in administrating any remote Gentoo system. 34. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/57963 gentoo-dev ---------- Free Source, Open Source and FLOSS. Always thought that these two things meant the same thing? Well think again. Here's[35] a thread dealing with some of the issues around open source and free software, including some interesting differences. It was all started off by a proposal around enhancing the security of open source projects. 35. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/14499 Moving of CFLAGS. Where CFLAGS have traditionally been found in make.conf, this post proposes moving them to individual ebuilds. Sounds like a lot of effort? Well maybe it is, but have a look at the rationale[36] before you decide. 36. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/14458 ======================= 5. Gentoo International ======================= Hungary: New Gentoo User Group Effort MaGenTa (Magyar Gentoo Tal?lkahelyan), a clever acronym for "Hungarian Gentoo Meeting Point", is the name of an endeavour to set up an active Hungarian Gentoo user portal[37] with facts, FAQs and forae. Initiated by Thomas Ferencz[38] (who is doubling as the lead translator for the new Hungarian documentation section[39] at the main Gentoo website), the MaGenTa group has been set up last summer, and slowly built up to currently 60 registered users, and growing...

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Rocky!
Facts about Rocky
- Breed: Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Young
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Rocky's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Rocky is a big boy! He weighs about 60 lbs at 9 months old. Rocky is super sweet and playful and will be a wonderful family companion, although he should be placed with older children due to his size. Rocky was abandoned with an eye injury and it had to be removed....this does not slow him down a bit! His adoption fee is $300 which includes neutering, shots, microchip, and transportation fee. Please email Carrie at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information and adoption application.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Rocky, a Monroe Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Labrador Retriever for sale in Monroe, or seeking a Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Monroe.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Monroe already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Monroe breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Monroe paves the way for another one to be saved.

Decorex, Johannesburg
The first Decorex exhibition in South Africa immediately attracted the country's attention as the first local event with a focus on interior design and décor. Other such shows have followed, but the award-winning Decorex exhibitions remain among the most popular.
The Decorex exhibitions – taking place in Durban, Cape Town and Johannesburg, with each city adding its own unique energy to the event – attract a mix of high-end exhibitors, leading brands, emerging talent and décor-minded consumers. The theme for the 2013 Johannesburg event is 'bliss'.
The hundreds of stands and stalls will each interpret this theme in their own way and visitors can view and buy décor and design objects, ranging from high-tech to handmade and including furniture, fabrics, art, accessories, appliances, lighting, carpeting and upholstery.
Decorex is also a platform for suppliers to debut the latest trends for floors, walls, surfaces, lighting, windows, kitchens and bathroom designs. Also look out for a number of inspirational room settings designed by industry icons.
Upcoming Events:March 2013 (Durban)
April 2013 (Cape Town)
August 2013 (Johannesburg)

The Last Paradise La Gran Chiquitania - "The Great Chiquitania" - is one of South America's last undiscovered paradises. A vast, hidden land of quiet, pristine natural beauty, blessed with a unique culture and a fascinating history, it encompasses six provinces and is like no other place on earth. Slumbering in the remote eastern plains of Bolivia's Santa Cruz Department, serene in its austere charm, the Chiquitania remains largely forgotten by the outside world. It is a refuge and a delight for the traveller who seeks the elusive final frontier. If you're bored with the same old places, or new ones with the look and feel of ones you've visited already, if you want something new, unique, and far away from everything and everyone, if you want to go and see places no one else has or will, and perhaps touch a few lives for the better in the process...the Chiquitania is for you.
There's no one in your rear view mirror in the Chiquitania. You'll probably go the rest of your life without meeting anyone who's made this trip...but many who'll wish they had. There aren't many places left on this earth you can say that about. So if you want the trip of a lifetime, one that will change you and your view of the world and the people in it forever, the Chiquitania is for you. There are still beautiful places on this earth. Far removed from the madding crowd and well worth going out of one's way to visit. The Chiquitania is one of these. Come see. |

My name is Duchess!
Facts about Duchess
- Breed: Siamese
- Color: Cream Or Ivory
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Duchess's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, not good with kids, and good with cats.
Duchess has been through a lot, but has persevered and has a lot of life still to enjoy. She is friends with the many other cats in our main room where she likes to snooze, get human attention and occasionally engage in play. She has a unique beauty, sweet personality, and wonderful resilience. She is blind in one eye, but it doesn't stop her from enjoying life and bringing happiness and companionship to those around her. She was shy when she arrived at BCC and often was found in our office bookcase, but has since come into her own and is quite comfortable. She has no current issues with her eye, the only thing is that she sometimes gets startled a bit if approached on her blind side. She is a real Siamese beauty.

I remember when this film had come out in India all the hype that was going around in the UK and when the film finally reached the UK for days the local cinema's were all sold out, and when you could finally find a time that was suitable tickets were being sold at £25, what a bloody rip off, credit to the cinema owners though, they knew where and when to make their money.
Finally got to see it, when the local video shop had it, and by complete and utter fluke my parents and I happened to turn up to see what film we could rent out, and there sat 'HUM' literally just arrived. So as I sat down finally with my drinks and snacks for the cinema atmosphere, i went into the film with an open mind trying to forget about all the reviews I heard prior to watching this film.
I can honestly say that I enjoyed the film from start to finish. The film had me tensed up, on the edge of your seat sort of drama with light relief between scenes, is what you require from a film. The film writers had finally (to me anyway) ma Late Filmmaker Mukul S. Anand was A Visionary. Just take a look at his handling over any film he's made. Be it 'Agneepath', 'Main Balwaan' & 'Hum', he has his own vision, which in every manner, is stylish. 'Hum' is one of his best works.
'Hum' is well-written, well-acted & marvelously directed by the late genius. Anand has his stamp all-over the film & emerges a big winner. I loved the film, more so, for the execution Anand has given to this story. Sure, The Screenplay is entertaining, but Anand's work in here stands out! A Special Mention for the fantastic Music by Laxmikant-Pyarelal.
Performance-Wise: Amitabh Bachchan is in his element. Rajinikanth is pretty decent. Govinda is terrific, as always. Kimi Katkar is proficient. Deepa Sahi is fair. Shilpa Shirodkar is passable. Danny is simply spell-binding, while Anupam Kher shows a menacing side of his. Kader Khan is dependable.
On the whole, 'Hum' demands a viewing, thanks to the high-class execution given by Anand.

New Win7 computer, jerky video, help?
Hey everyone,
Recently, my old beloved computer with WinXP Home died on me, so I bought a new inexpensive computer until I can get something better. An eMachines el1333g-0w. Granted I KNOW this isn't a top of the computer by any means, and I'm didn't get it for something high end like gaming. but I was hoping to AT LEAST enjoy the same quality of video and sound as I had on my cheapy previous WinXP eMachines. I've also owned other brands like Compaq and Acer, btw. :P What I'm finding is jerky video, mostly flash (.flvs and .mp4s), but .avis seem to be ok. Also videos are out of sync. I assumed this was a streaming problem, but the same occurs on videos on the computer itself. Again, AVIs seem ok. So far. So I installed new drivers but all this did was remove my nVidia controls and didn't solve the jerky video problem, so I rolled back, thankfully. On the RealTek "3D" system, on my old computer, I could leave the speaker volume at less than 50% and that was more than adequate. On this one, I have it maxed out to 100% and it's...ok. I think that's just off. I've tweaked and tweaked it. There's no sound AT ALL on a game I tried. Plus, the computer seems to use 100% of the CPU all too often, which COULD be giving me some of the vid problems I'm experiencing, BUT the vid problems remain even if it isn't at 100%. Mostly this happens when I use a browser or IM at the same time. This particular model did not come with a hard drive flicker light making it impossible to tell when the hard drive is being accessed. Other than these "minor" details, I am happy with Win7, I like how it just shuts down when you want it to, period, and doesn't stall out, but I am EXTREMELY unhappy with the video performance. Can anyone give me any guidance. I know it's probably mostly choice of computer and a hardware issue, but I would like to solve this problem before I sink any more money into a different computer. I wasn't expecting perfection, but AT LEAST as good of performance as my 2003 w3050 eMachines model. Here are my specs: CPU1 : AMD Athlon Processor 2850e (1.8GHz, 512KB L2 cache) Operating System2 : Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit Chipset : NVIDIA® GeForce® 6150 SE Memory3 : 2GB DDR2 dual-channel (2 × 1GB) Expandable to 4GB 2 DDR2 slots total, 0 DDR2 slots available Hard Drive4 : 320GB 7200rpm SATA Optical Drive : 16x DVD±R/RW SuperMulti drive Write max: 16x DVD±R, 6x DVD-RW, 8x DVD+RW, 8x DVD±R DL, 5x DVD-RAM, 48x CD-R and 32x CD-RW Read max: 16x DVD-ROM, 40x CD-ROM Media Reader5 : Multi-in-one digital media card reader CompactFlash® I & II, CF+ Microdrive, SecureDigital (SD) Card, MultiMediaCard (MMC), Reduced-Size MultiMediaCard (RS-MMC), Memory Stick (MS), Memory Stick Pro® (MS Pro), xD-Picure Card (xD) Video3 : Integrated NVIDIA® GeForce® 6150 SE graphics Audio : 6-channel (5.1) high-definition audio USB Speakers Network : 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN (RJ-45 port) Peripherals : eMachines® PS/2 keyboard and mouse Ports : 9 - USB 2.0 (5 front, 4 rear) 2 - PS/2 (keyboard and mouse) 1 - VGA 5 - Audio jacks 1 - Headphone jack (front) 1 - Microphone jack (front) 1 - RJ-45 Ethernet Dimensions : 10.4" H x 3.9" W x 14.6" D Weight : 12 lbs.

I recommend starting off by cleaning off your computer. Go into Programs and Features and uninstall everything you don't use. Google the programs you are unsure of. |

How would removing programs help his issue ?
I suggest seeing what else is running, run your video and open task mgr and see what else is going on. How long ago did you purchase the pc ? Is the option to return it still there ? |

I'm guessing you want to invest in a cheap video card to offload the video overhead on the machine and the shared RAM. You can pick one up for that setup for $30 or less.

I don't think that removing programs would necessarily help the jerky video issue either. My old computer ran just fine on the factory installed programs, so I'm thinking it's something else, though in general, yeah removing excess is probably a good idea, but not with this issue. On another forum, someone suggested it could be the processor. On the old computer, the processor was an AMD Sempron running at just over 2.0 GHZ. This one is an AMD Athlon running on 1.6 GHZ. That peeves me off right there knowing that possibly I'm running on less power requiring more power. On the other hand, I dunno much about processor architecture so know if a 1.6 Athlon has in fact more or less power than a 2.0 sempron. The video card idea is probably another one I should go with. At any rate, thanks, everyone, I shall just suffer through it until I can take care of these issues. Larry |

Flowers, 2011
Single-channel HD video
Sound via CC-license thanks to Ichiro Nakagawa
Coming up at 24HRArt in Darwin is Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Flowerface, a suite of videos by Melbourne artists. Featuring work by Jessie Scott, Zoe Scoglio, Cait Foran, Jess McElhinney, Hannah Raisin and yours truly, Dr Jekyll and Ms. Flowerface brings together new and recent video work by six female artists working with, around and about portraiture and performative practice. Curated by Eugenia Lim, this suite of videos explores representation and identity: from uncanny personas to memorials for dead pets, "ideal" beauty through to abject femininity, nostalgia for lost childhood through to clumsy mythologies.
This work is a tribute to my mum, especially her annual ritual of posing with her peonies.

By 1945, O'Neill had run off and married the many-decades-older Charlie Chaplin, and Salinger was suffering a nervous breakdown after enduring nearly 300 days of combat from D-Day to the liberation of Dachau concentration camp. Salerno interviews Salinger's buddies in his army intelligence unit (an excellent assignment for any burgeoning writer), who remember him working on The Catcher in the Rye as they slogged through the bloody northern France campaign. One of Salerno's talking heads refers to those wartime horrors as "the ghost in the machine" that haunts Salinger's fiction, particularly quietly explosive classics like "A Perfect Day for Bananafish."
The postwar years are dealt with in a similar flash of activity: the deceptively cool short stories that popped up in the pages of The New Yorker one after the other, a comically off-base film adaptation of one of them, and then the bombshell that was The Catcher in the Rye in 1951. Just a couple of years after that, Salinger moved to New Hampshire, and published nothing after 1965 until his death in 2010. Glimpses of that isolated life are spotted only in interviews with friends and his troubling relationships with a number of teenage women, including interviewee Joyce Maynard, who infamously auctioned off Salinger's love letters to her. It's in the evocation of a war-traumatized Salinger turning into the closed-off and sometimes cruel narcissist, hiding out for weeks at a time in his famous writing bunker and ignoring his children, that the film finds its most dramatic, rewarding material.
Although Salinger contains several acute insights about the author's psychology, its tendency to get as overly excited as the distributor's heavily hyped publicity campaign sometimes cheapens the whole affair. It's clearly a labor of love for Salerno, an action-film scribe ( Savages, Armageddon) who reportedly spent nine years doggedly digging up material. But he teases out bombshell fragments about the possibilities of new Salinger writings with all the subtlety of a rocket-propelled grenade and resorts to laughable recreations with an actor who looks nothing like Salinger himself.
Salerno includes one encomium after another from writers and actors like Edward Norton and Philip Seymour Hoffman about the impact of The Catcher in the Rye on them, and inserts a cringe-inducing PSA-ish segment showing teenagers the world over reading the book like some holy text. But his film never truly grapples with why this book about a grumpy 16-year-old wandering around New York still exerts such a vice-like grip on youthful readers. Even the troubling fact that the novel was claimed as inspiration by three different killers is given short shrift. Salinger is a little too busy dashing back from a gripping biographical study of Salinger's life and work to drop in more boldface-type nuggets about Salinger the "Howard Hughes" recluse. The film is like an eager bloodhound that never manages to find the bone it's looking for.

From gazing at stars, I was now reduced to seeing stars over corporate Colorado's continued incursions on the skyline (a vision no doubt clouded by my inability to get a Qwest signal anywhere much beyond the reach of those signs). And just past the Qwest beacons -- which should have pulsed red rather than that alien blue, as the company last week hit its lowest stock price in a year -- another advertisement glowed over the city. "Vesco Field," it announced.
Light out, nobody home.
The future is already looking dim for Invesco Field at Mile High, the $400 million football stadium that was blowing fuses even before it officially opens on Saturday for an Eagles concert. (No spike heels on the new turf, please!) Those metro residents who can't afford a ticket to the concert, or to the Broncos' pre-season debut in their new home on August 25, can see Pat Bowlen's new pigskin palace at an August 19 open house.
The party isn't free, of course, but what's another $3.25 when taxpayers have already committed to pouring $320 million into the place?
Soaking up a week's worth of news in one sitting can be as unpleasant as standing by the Barrel Man for an entire quarter. During the first week of August, when sex offenders and cops' guns were both on the loose, Denver apparently had a chicken hawk in every pot and a police shooting in every garage. Qwest CEO Joe Nacchio was beaming as bright as his signs at the posh International sponsored by Qwest, a golf tournament that's one of the few "charitable" endeavors Qwest has continued to sponsor. (Not only has it slashed corporate donations, but soon after it absorbed US West last summer, Qwest ended US West's longstanding practice of allowing employees to donate work time for worthy causes.)
And taking space once devoted to Ramsey updates (news flash: former Boulder police detective Steve Thomas's July 31 court hearing was postponed until September 7) was all the big news being made at the new stadium: The horses that will soon gallop up to the gate, a million-dollar gift from Bowlen in thanks for our present to him that was several hundred times that; the $40 parking fees; the "Giant Flush" last Thursday, when the Metropolitan Football Stadium District commanded hundreds of plumbing fixtures to do their duty in a synchronized stunt.
You might think that Invesco Funds Group, which anted up $120 million to be split between naming rights to the outside of the stadium and assorted rights inside, would be somewhat sensitive to such a blatant display of its liquid assets. After all, Invesco was so perturbed by a July 1 Denver Post column by Woody Paige, which dared to report that a "key executive" at Invesco had confessed that he and some colleagues referred to the stadium as The Diaphragm, that the company threatened to sue not just Paige, but the Post ("Watch the Fireworks!" July 5). And in its chest-beating press release announcing this threat, Invesco went so far as to suggest that Paige had made up the conversation in the first place. Never mind that if Paige were into fiction, he would have come up with a much better nickname: Invesco hadn't paid big money in order to be mocked!
No, Invesco could do that all on its own. And after the blabbing executive stepped forward and confessed, the company grudgingly sent out another release on July 5, this one waving the white flag. "The firm has learned that an employee did have a social conversation with Mr Paige that subsequently formed the basis for his column," it acknowledged. "These comments from one individual do not reflect the views and sentiments of the company."
That employee has since left the company, taking any threat of a lawsuit with him.
In retrospect, much of Invesco's snit seemed inspired by the mere suggestion that a steel stadium devoted to that most manly of sports could be saddled with a name normally ascribed to an extremely feminine, if eminently useful, piece of equipment. To call the stadium a "diaphragm" was to use a "vulgarity," Invesco CEO Mark Williamson sniffed in his company's complaint. But then, even the mainstream media here is squeamish when referring to the roadshow of The Vagina Monologues. And when told that star Joan Van Ark, a Colorado native, had called this city "a good vagina town," PR pros at assorted booster groups that hype every two-bit award ever bestowed on Denver confessed that they'd be hard-pressed to fit vaginas into their mission statements. If they were willing to confess to anything at all.
In Denver, football -- and football stadiums -- are much more suitable topics for discussion.
"The mayor will always call it Mile High Stadium," says Andrew Hudson, spokesman for Wellington Webb -- who, just minutes before the Giant Flush, had announced that the roads around the new stadium would be named Mile High Stadium Circle.
Ring around the holler, Invesco!
And the Post, too, has been doing some thinking about the stadium. Incensed by Paige's column, a few dim bulbs at Invesco had made several outraged calls to the paper. But their protests didn't land Paige in hot water. ("It was the great PR gaffe of all time," says Paige, who does admit to winding up in his boss's pool at Dean Singleton's birthday party Saturday night.) Instead, they left key executives at the Post feeling plenty steamed.
