Linux Migration, Step 1: Why Migrate to Linux? |
Use LiveCD Linux Distributions |
How To Use Your Linux LiveCD |
All Pages |
I'll try to explain the principal Linux advantages that you, a Windows user, wants to know, too. The first think you need to put in your mind is: Linux its not only free (like in Freedom). Linux is really easy to use, have many beautiful graphics and interfaces, its compatible with most Windows programs and archives. And more important: Linux is intuitive, stable, and virtually virus-free!
First: Know More About the Main Linux Distributions
If you are a Windows user and have never used Linux, first you need to know more about this operational system. Actually, there are hundreds Linux distributions (almost 400!) active these days. Unlike Windows, there are many different of Linux available for you in the Internet. And for a new user it will be hard to choose one (or some) Linux distributions to use.In general, you should test some (or all) of the most-used Linux distributions. Why? Because there are as many Linux distributions as ice cream flavors. And people can like more about one Linux distribution than others, also like ice cream! To help you start in this world, we suggest you to choose one of the six main Linux distributions. These are:
Ubuntu is a community developed, Linux-based operating system that is perfect for laptops, desktops and servers. It contains all the applications you need - a web browser, presentation, document and spreadsheet software, instant messaging and much more.
openSUSE is a free and Linux-based operating system for your PC, Laptop or Server. You can surf the web, manage your e-mails and photos, do office work, play videos or music and have a lot of fun!
Linux Mint is a Linux distribution based on (and compatible with) Ubuntu. Your design of the user interface is considerably beautiful and clean.
Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian uses the Linux kernel (the core of an operating system), but most of the basic OS tools come from the GNU project; hence the name GNU/Linux.
Mandriva Linux is the best way to start using Linux. A full Linux operating system on a single CD for both new and experienced Linux users, it is fast to download and install, and also safe to try with a live mode. One is really the one CD you need!
Second: Use LiveCD Linux Distributions
In this stage, you will know more about the main Linux distributions by visiting their respective sites. But you haven't yet used any of then. So, now you need to download the LiveCD of these main Linux distributions to try them out. Most Linux distributions include a LiveCD system ready to use in the installation CD. A LiveCD is a CD that runs a complete Linux distribution only in your computer's RAM, not from the hard drive. This is the safest way to test Linux distributions without actually installing Linux or corrupting your current operation system and files. You can find LiveCDs (or installation CDs with LiveCDs built-in) in these links:
- Ubuntu LiveCD (in Ubuntu, the LiveCD is built into the installation CD)
- openSUSE LiveCD (you can choose your computer architecture when you download your LiveCD)
- Mint LiveCD (in Linux Mint, the LiveCD is built into the installation CD)
- Fedora LiveCD (the first link is the Fedora LiveCD)
- Debian LiveCD (choose your architecture to download the appropriate LiveCD)
- Mandriva LiveCD (in Mandriva, the LiveCD is built into the installation CD)
In these links you will download an ISO image file to your computer, which you can use to create a CD. Don't worry if you don't know how to burn an ISO image to a disk. It's easy!
Put an adequate blank CD or DVD (if you download an ISO CD image you need to put a blank CD, otherwise, put in a blank DVD) in your optical drive.
- Open your favorite CD/DVD burning program.
- Find in the CD/DVD program menu an command like "Burn a CD/DVD image" (if there is more than one related item, such as "Burn a CD image" and "burn a DVD image", choose the appropriate one).
- Burn your ISO image into the disk.
In the end, you will have a bootable Linux LiveCD disk. Now you only need configure your computer BIOS to boot from your CD/DVD, if it isn't doing so already.
- Put the bootable Linux LiveCD disk in your optical drive (and pay attention to the screen).
- In the boot of your Linux LiveCD, some itens will appear in your screen. Choose the one that represents the LiveCD.
- Your Linux LiveCD will start.
Third: How To Use Your Linux LiveCD
Now you can learn more about Linux from your LiveCD. We advise you to experiment with all desktop functions. You will see that Linux main menus are organized around areas/topics like "Multimedia," "Graphics," "Office," "System," and so on. Follow these menu command and try to use many of the programs found within.There are many programs that could substitute for your Windows software:
- You can use OpenOffice to create your text documents, your spreadsheets, your slides, and so on.
- You can burn your CDs and DVDs using K3B (for KDE) or Brasero (for GNOME), create and burn images, music CDs or DVDs, and so on.
- You can play your favorite tunes using Amarok, a very complete music player for Linux.
- You can talk with your friends in GTalk, MSN, Yahoo! ICQ, Jabber, all in one interface, using Pidgin.
- You can talk with your friends in MSN, like MSN with aMSN. This instant message its more stable and ad free than MSN and accepts webcams too.
- You can see all your videos extensions or DVD movies in Totem (GNOME) or Kaffeine (KDE).

April 20, 2008 When it snows for half the year, you really come to appreciate nice weather. In the past week, the student population seems to have tripled. Everyone is emerging from their dorms with Frisbees, flip flops and sunglasses. Though the forecast calls for more nice weather next week, I have had an ominous feeling that it's just too good to be true. Thus, I've spent every waking moment outdoors.
A few days ago, I took a walk down the hill and got a mango iced tea from a cafe and then sat down to read my French homework on the Clinton Green. Today I took a walk through the Root Glen, now blooming with tiny blue and white flowers. For almost every meal, my friends and I pick up our food to-go and sit down at the picnic tables outside to eat. At any point of the day that do I go inside, I find myself immediately walking outside again minutes later, if only to lounge in the grass reading or throw a football with one of the guys.
Perhaps the most repeated incentive to go outside has been softball. My super-athletic team for basketball and soccer also fields a softball team. I don't actually play on the softball team (softball brings back mortifying memories of me striking out as a 4th grader). However, I've come out for every game to sit in the sun and cheer. Our team has won every game so far, though all of the teams have been pretty decent.
The games are held on Minor field, in the middle of a sea of people. On any afternoon, there are 50-100 people sprawling out on the grass in bathing suits. They bring blankets to lie on and guitars or boom boxes. You'd think it was a day at the beach.
Today, I filled my water bottle, cut up some oranges and grabbed a blanket for the 3 p.m. game. As I got to the field, I noticed there was no opposing team — sadly, they didn't show. You might think that our team would be relieved and trudge back to the library to work on theses. Not this team. They split up into three teams of 4 people each. One team batted while the two other teams played in the field. I was reluctantly put on a team and walked out to right field where I would do the least amount of damage.
To my surprise, I had an awesome time playing. I put on my straw hat, borrowed a glove and tried to pretend I was not a horrible player. I did not make any amazing plays — I almost made a really good play, but Jack plowed into me as I was about to catch the ball. Still, I didn't strike out, and it was nice to spend the day in the sun with my favorite people at school. Summer is approaching fast, and I plan to enjoy every minute of it.

It is always frustrating after a loss. Fans of most franchises, the Lions in particular, tend to look for someone or something to blame. The Lions listless approach to playcalling and execution against the Pittsburgh Steelers led them to a 37-27 loss and dropped them to 6-4. That's still good enough for first place in the NFC North, but not good enough for fans who were calling for heads to roll. As is almost always the case when a trick play fails and a team loses, fans have keyed in on one play in the Fourth Quarter as the turning point in the game. The timing is right. The Lions still led by four points that late in the game, and after that play the Steelers rallied to win by ten points. That's about where it ends, however, as the Lions first attempt at a trick play on Special Teams in what seems like forever failed pretty miserably after Sam Martin picked up 3 of the 5 yards needed for a first down before fumbling the ball away. Taking the emotion out of the loss, it was a gutsy and questionable call, but not a terrible one. If the Lions had converted, they would have had a chance to go up by two scores late in the game. If they failed, the Steelers were pinned back near their own end zone with a ton of ground to cover. That's what ended up happening, as the Steelers recovered at the 3 yard line. They would go on to drive 97 yards and score the go ahead touchdown. Matthew Stafford didn't complete a single pass in the 4th Quarter, Calvin Johnson didn't get a single catch the entire second half, and the defense was missing tackles like there was a going out of business sale at Sucktropolis that day. Yet, it is the failed Field Goal attempt that fans key in on. This is despite the deficit. Three points there still would have had the Lions losing by a TD, and going ahead in points tends to make opposing offenses pass MORE, not less, and the Lions secondary had more holes in it than a plot summary for Lost. There WERE worse plays in the game, and those are what I'm going to highlight here.
The Five Worst Plays that were NOT the Fake Field Goal Attempt 7

Nov 19, 2013 9:44 PM
So true. Man what a bummer of a game that was. My personal thought was that the faked field goal sucked te wind out of the lions and gave the steam to the steelers. These other plays just demonstrate how inept Linehan can be. Some games he's decent enough to say okay good call or good play here or there. I like the aggressive mind set that they were trying to use as well I just can't say that while it's raining have the rookie punter running on a two team abused mudpit (high school game, college?) get the ball and try to run it. Same with the first quarter (I believe) possession going for it on forth down. I hope the lions didn't walk in there thinking this was gonna be a piece if ketchup slathered cake, or, maybe we do? Hopefully they learned you have to play the full 60 mins or wind up looking like a team that doesn't deserve first place in the NFC. GO LIONS!
Nov 19, 2013 10:20 PM
Good stuff sir! Pretty much the exact things I posted but in much greater detail I disagree with the last throw to Johnson even as they had a deep safety to cover I take my chances with that throw and a catch only CJ makes if you go back and look how that ball was under thrown and if he leads Johnson there is a chance of a PI or miraculous catch which we've seen before. The first time it was under thrown and CJ made an adjustment and shredded the DB. As to the fake field goal it was NOT a good call even if it worked. There is a thing called risk reward and the risk wasn't worth the reward as you're asking a rookie punter to go 12 yards to make 5 you essentially have no margin for error it's like asking private first class soldiers to go take out a rescue mission ( with all due respect) I would have preferred he threw it if anything. You're on the road bad conditions bank the points and u still have over 12 min.. Bad call
Nov 19, 2013 11:03 PM
I can't believe that Linehan AT THE VERY LEAST didn't flip the formation on that 2nd play to Calvin. No shifts are anything. Absolutely atrocious play call.
Nov 21, 2013 12:13 PM
Great stuff Kent. This was a very in-depth look at the plays that lost the game. We live in a soundbite and highlight clip society and it's easy to get the masses to look at one singular event as the proximate cause of a loss. The Steelers beat the Lions handily for 3 of the 4 quarters in which the game was played. Players didn't execute and coaches proved they still have quite a bit of developing to do to match wits with savvy, talented and experienced counterparts.
Nov 21, 2013 8:18 PM
Good stuff Kent! I hate to make excuses, but the terrible field conditions took Bush out of the 2nd half and when Pittsburgh realized he was not a threat they were able to blanket Calvin. When you look at the Arizona game when Bush didn't play the second half our offense was not effective at all.

Eclectic Cool in Belgium
A designing couples stylish townhouse brings an eclectic edge to modern style
By Ingrid Abramovitch
Anne-Marie Midy and Jorge Almada knew it was going to be a challenge to move their family from a provincial Mexican town, San Miguel de Allende, to the northern European capital of Brussels. First, there were the logistics of buying and renovating an overseas townhouse, largely over the Internet. The couple worried about how their toddler sons, Olivier and Antoine, would adapt to a place where everything from language to weather would be dramatically different. The transition before them was daunting enoughand then along came the barracuda.
Midy, who grew up in Paris, met Almada in the United States, where they both attended college in the early 1990s. They shared an interest in design, as well as the unusual fact that both their mothers had been transatlantic flight attendants before getting married (Midys father was French, while Almadas is Mexican). They fell in love and, after spending a few years in New York, moved to Mexico, where they started a company, Casamidy, collaborating with local artisans to create a line of contemporary furniture.
Casamidys high-style take on Mexican crafttheir designs incorporate traditional handmade tin and ironworksoon became a success north of the border. After more than a decade in San Miguel, Midy and Almada hoped to expand their business abroad. Meanwhile, Midy wanted her sons to have a French education and the experience of living in Europe. After weighing their options, they chose Brusselsthe unofficial capital of the European Unionas their base. Its a diplomatic center where people speak a lot of languages, so we knew we would feel comfortable, Almada says. Its much more affordable than Paris, yet only an hour away by train. And Belgium has such a strong design aesthetic. It felt like an adventure.
Once they had decided on the location for their new home, they set about finding the perfect address. We kept making offers but the houses there go as quickly as pains au chocolat, Midy jokes. At last, they purchased a stone townhouse dating from 1907. To their dismay, all the walls were covered in uninspired, old-fashioned wallpaper. But they loved what Midy calls the beautiful volumes of space. The location on Avenue Molière, a grand boulevard of embassies and private residences, is well situated near Place Brugmann, a bustling square filled with restaurants, boutiques, and antiques shops.

The CoP Debate
Within this forum, many friends and bonds are created, and for better or worse, like it or not, we become a community, a family, a tribe. and, as any 'society' there are events that sculpt shape and define the feellings, attitudes and being of all the individuals. The following are the nominees for the most unforgetable events of the year.
oh, good times!
I am in need of some Disney magic!!
Glad JC is back (hope you didn't leave on my account) and the CoP Debate will probably never go away completely.

The whole CoP survival was fun!! Especially when it was coming to the end!!!

Ok, there was no "coming to an end" One day, COP was losing, the next time I got on, it was over!
I have no idea what is up with JC leaving & returning, so I can't really say it was that memorable???

Boy oh boy........so sad that you just cannot take the loss! Your "cronies" could have done the exact same thing that Lori and I did (reaching out for help)! The shift in power truly started to change when the new point system (4 to 1) went in to affect, it just got shifted into high gear after you left. But you were pretty confident when you left....I seem to recall many statements about "CoP going down". I did not cheat in any way....I just called on some help from friends! I didn't see anywhere in the rules that it was stated that wasn't allowed. Sour apples.....
hmmm.....I called in for the same backup when I was soliciting votes for your Halloween costume!!!Originally Posted by 4Mickey

PartnerAny upfront quotes for Pre Pack Administrations by Insolvency Practitioners can be unreliable as your business will need to be professionally valued to establish the accurate purchase price.
If your company is being threatened by creditors (i.e. - a landlord, HMRC, your bank, credit card companies, etc.) and you fear that you could be taken to Court and put out of business, then continue reading to find out how an administration order could protect your company from liquidation and dissolution:
If you don't feel like reading the following guide and you have a specific question that needs answering, feel free to send us an email or call us on 0800 644 6080 for free advice.
When is it Ideal for a Company to Enter into Administration?
Before we tell you more about the process you should consider the following points to make sure it is appropriate for your company to enter into administration:
- The business should be insolvent or contingently insolvent, and should have a significant amount of assets and/or value. Cash flow and profitability should be reasonably predictable.
- Creditor pressure is present and there is a concern that the company could be taken to Court in the near future. Often creditors have already made threats to force the business into compulsory liquidation in order to recover what is owed to them.
- If the company has very little assets and is also lacking in cash flow then a creditors' voluntary liquidation (CVL) would be a more suitable solution. If creditors are not yet threatening legal action but you're concerned that they may start soon then you may want to attempt a company voluntary arrangement (CVA).
To be absolutely sure that administration is the best route for your company speak with one of our insolvency practitioners today.
What are the Advantages and Disadvantages of Administration?
The following are the pros and cons of entering into company administration in the UK:
- Any legal actions being taken by creditors are immediately stayed, which means your company would be protected from the possibility of compulsory liquidation or any other negative legal action during the administration.
- Puts the company in the hands of a licensed insolvency practitioner acting as the administrator. This ensures that all actions taken during administration are carried out with the interest of the company and its creditors in mind.
- Keeps the financial position of the creditors from worsening.
- The administrator is given time to communicate a clear picture of the company's finances to its creditors and outline the ways in which the administrator intends to conduct the administration and how the administrator intends to realise funds for creditors.
- If a pre-pack is arranged then the continuity of the business can be protected.
- During the procedure the administrator can propose a company voluntary arrangement (CVA).
- During administration your directors are no longer in control of the affairs of the company.
- The administration becomes a matter of public knowledge because correspondence with all creditors and clients must include a note that specifies the company is "in administration" next to the company name. For example, your company name printed on your invoices would have to appear as "Example Company Ltd. (In Administration)." Furthermore, the administrator is required to notify all creditors and employees that the business is under administration.
- The bank or one of your creditors may have the right to appoint their own administrator.
- Given the fact that the cost of administration can be quite excessive we usually only recommend it for companies that have decent cash flow but are being threatened by aggressive creditor action.
- If a prepack administration is carried out then TUPE regulations will apply, which means you'll have to transfer the employees and their contracts over to the "newco." This can create a problem if the budget of the "new company" cannot afford to cover the payroll of the old company.
Who Has the Ability to Appoint an Administrator?
The directors of a company can elect to voluntarily enter into administration with the assistance of a licensed insolvency practitioner. Alternatively, the company can be put into administration by the holder of a floating charge under a debenture granted after 15th September 2003.
If the charge is held on a debenture that was granted before that date then they would be able to put your company into administrative receivership. Keep in mind that even if the directors of your company are the ones who initiate the administration it is possible for the bank, or another holder of a floating charge, to appoint their own administrator at their discretion.If you're concerned that a hostile creditor may try to petition your company to court, an administration could provide the protection needed to recover without being served payment demands or facing compulsory liquidation.
How Long Does Administration Take?
The administrator must submit their proposals to creditors within 8 weeks of the commencement of administration. After submitting their proposals and having them approved the administrator can take up to several months to carry out the administration as planned. Overall, an administration is supposed to last no longer than 1 year, but this time limit can be extended by the Court, or through the consent of the company's creditors. It can take 1-2 weeks to organise a pre pack administration.

Umar was from the Banū 'Adī tribe, one of the branches of the Quraysh. His mother, Hantama, was the daughter of Hāshim Ibn Mughīra from the Banū Makhzūm clan. Banū Makhzūm was another branch of the Quraysh and an ally of the Umayya in the Dark Age. Unlike Abū Bakr, 'Umar converted to Islam years after the ordainment of Prophet Muhammad (s). Many sources say he converted in the sixth Hidjra year. Mas'ūdī says he converted four years before Hidjra, i.e. the 9th Hidjra year.[1] 'Umar was present in wars and events in Medina, although history has recorded no specific memory about him. When his daughter, Hafsa, became the Prophet's wife, his relations with the Messenger of God were reinforced. In this connection, he was like Abū Bakr. We wrote that the Prophet (s) made them brothers by contract.[2] They were inseparable throughout the entire life of the Prophet (s). They held common stances in the developments of Saqīfa and it was because of 'Umar's insistence on stabilizing Abū Bakr's caliphate that Imām 'Alī (a) accused him of working for his own future.[3] This was well justified for others.
When Abū Bakr handed over the oath of caliphate to him and asked him to read it for the people, someone asked him, "What is in this letter?"
He replied, "I do not know for sure, but I shall be the first one to obey it!" The person said, "But I know what it is." أمّرته عام أوّل وأمّرك العام "The first year you appointed him caliph and the second year, he installed you as the caliph of Muslims."[4]
The above quotation shows that people were aware of the political bond between these two. Apparently, people saw one way of thinking throughout the caliphate of Abū Bakr in these two persons. In other words, they believed that 'Umar's caliphate was the continuation of Abū Bakr's and that their caliphate was a single administration.
Qays Ibn Abī Hāzim says, "I saw 'Umar in the mosque, with a stick of date branch in his hand trying to make people sit down. Abū Bakr's servant, named Shudayd, came to the mosque and read a message from Abū Bakr and then, 'Umar mounted the pulpit."[5] "It is true to say that Abū Bakr would not be a caliph if it were not for 'Umar.[6] When Abū Bakr wanted to appoint Khālid Ibn Sa'īd as commander of the army, 'Umar managed to change his mind because Khālid swore allegiance to Abū Bakr only three months after the Saqīfa gathering.[7] Abū Bakr used to say he loved 'Umar more than others."[8]
'Umar addressed Ibn 'Abbās and said, "Indeed, if Abū Bakr did not believe me, he would set aside your share of the government, and in that case, your tribesmen (Quraysh) would hate you."[9] It was this belief in 'Umar that made Abū Bakr write an accord appointing 'Umar as his successor. Once he said, "I appointed 'Umar to succeed me because I was afraid of eruption of any tension."[10]
Before the appointment of 'Umar, Abū Bakr consulted 'Abd al-Rahmān Ibn 'Awf. He praised the caliph and said 'Umar was a quick-tempered man. Abū Bakr said, "He shows to be so in contrast with my tender-heartedness. He will calm down when he takes power." Abū Bakr consulted 'Uthmān, too.
He said, "'Umar's nature is better than his countenance."[11] This is all the consultation Abū Bakr made with the nobles of the Quraysh before appointing 'Umar.
'Uthmān was always present in the caliph's bedside during his sickness. Abū Bakr asked him to write the contract of succession on his behalf. After the beginning of the contract was written, Abū Bakr fell into coma and 'Uthmān who knew his assignment, finished the oath and wrote the name of 'Umar in it. After regaining consciousness, Abū Bakr asked 'Uthmān to read what he had written. He did so and Abū Bakr approved it.[12] Following this, Talha came to Abū Bakr and said, "You witnessed how 'Umar behaves beside you and with your presence. Then, we do not know what he will do without you." Abū Bakr was angered by his objection.[13] Another quotation says the people objected to Abū Bakr for appointing a bad-tempered man to rule them.[14] According to Ibn 'Abd al-Barr, Abū Bakr asked Mu'ayqab al-Rūsī about the people's opinion regarding the appointment of 'Umar and he replied, "Some are satisfied, some are not."
Abū Bakr said, "Which group is greater in number?"
He said, "Those who are dissatisfied."
Abū Bakr said, "The truth always shows its ugly face first, but it is finally the winner."[15] 'Umar, himself, in his first sermon said he was aware of the fact that some people hated his caliphate.[16] Ibn Qutayba has said that after hearing the news of Abū Bakr's death, Muslims in Damascus expressed their concern over 'Umar's likely coming to power and said, "If 'Umar assumes power, he will not be our "master" and we will topple him."[17] Abū Bakr did not make any serious consultations about 'Umar's caliphate.[18] He believed that many of the Muhādjirūn were thinking about occupying the seat of caliphate. Once he told 'Abd al-Rahmān Ibn 'Awf that many men of Muhādjirūn were yearning for the seat of caliphate since the start of his caliphate.[19] In his deathbed, Abū Bakr warned 'Umar about the Muhādjirūn and their greed for ruling.[20]
Abū Bakr's act of setting an age for caliphate, the principle of "succession" became legitimate in the political jurisprudence of the Sunnites sect. However, according to Sunnites sources, this had no background in the Prophet's biography. The succession rule shares two pillars of hereditary government. In a hereditary government, the first pillar is succession and the second pillar is family and hereditary advantages. Its first pillar in the caliphate's biography took on a legitimate form. Just as Muhammad Rashīd Ridā has noted, this brought about hereditary caliphate in the time of the Umayya.[21]
Abū Bakr's written oath practically appointed 'Umar as the caliph. Therefore, the people's allegiance could not be influential in his reign. Finally, we should say that the people's disagreement did not mean he could not be a caliph. This was indeed a sort of swearing obedience and loyalty to caliph. 'Umar, himself, believed that Abū Bakr's selection as the caliph of Muslims was impromptu and that the government had to be undertaken at the consultation of the believers, but he sat on the seat of caliphate based on an oath. He criticized the way of selecting Abū Bakr but did not say anything about his odd way of assuming power.

For Parents: Encouraging Exercise for Your Child with Asthma
Your child needs exercise to be healthy and fit. So don't let fear of an asthma flare-up keep your child from being active. Many professional and Olympic athletes have asthma. They are able to perform because their asthma is in control. The same is true for your child.
What Kind of Exercise?
Kids with asthma can play baseball, basketball, soccer, or football. They can swim, run cross-country, or do gymnastics. In fact, a child with asthma can do any sport you can name. If exercise has led to asthma flare-ups in the past, you may worry. But when asthma is in good control, your child will be able to exercise without fear of a flare-up.
Making Exercise Safer
Your child's health care provider may prescribe taking a dose of quick-relief medication before exercise. Be sure your child carries this medication and knows when and how to take it.
Teach your child to warm up for
5–10 minutes before exercise. This reduces the chance of a flare-up. -
Talk to your child's gym teacher or coach. Explain when and how your child should take asthma medications. Also explain the importance of warming up. This person should know the symptoms of an asthma flare-up and what to do about it.
Your child may need to avoid exercise outside at certain times. Depending on triggers, you may need to watch for high air pollution days, dry and windy days, or days when a lot of pollen is in the air.

Vorsis Study: Is the Loudness War Over?
New Bern, NC - Aug 18, 2011 - A study conducted by Vorsis, the audio processing arm of Wheatstone, surveyed radio station engineers, managers and programmers to determine the importance, value and leverage of audio processing for a station's competitive edge.
The survey was sent to four different independent mailing lists covering radio engineers, managers and programmers. Wheatstone databases were not used, and an independent research company, Alethea Research, conducted the actual study. The sample was split evenly between large, medium, and small market stations (ADI 1 to 25, 26 to 100 and 101 to 200). It was weighted more toward FM stations (AM only: 11.1 percent, FM only: 51.2 percent, AM and FM: 36.6 percent).
The first question asked which qualities were important to a station's on-air sound. The winning answer was not louder, but rather cleaner.
The Vorsis finding is that audio processing technology has advanced to the point where virtually any audio processor can make any station loud. Vorsis says loudness is a given, and will not make a station stand out like it used to.
Louder was the fifth (of seven) highest choice at 35.8 percent. Cleaner was chosen 71.4 percent of the time, with fuller, more definition and brighter scoring in between.
Other parts of the study considered spectral balance, processing adjustment patterns and creating an audio signature.

Back in the Groove...Sorta...
On the Friday before Thanksgiving you may remember me mentioning that it was the last day of 2010. Diane scoffed, listeners scolded, and even my family said I was nuts. But I still think I was right. Here we are, well over a month later, and schedules and routines still aren't back on track. And won't be until the Monday after MLK day in a couple of weeks.

We've been trying to get to our annual list of favorite Christmas movies for the last couple of days but due to the weather, we haven't had the time. But it looks like we'll be able to get to it in the morning between winter storms.
The Winter Morning Show
It wasn't that 3.3 inches of snow, the official total yesterday, was such a big deal, it was more that it was the first snow of the season. That always throws us into a spin, usually along I-164 somewhere. But since most schools cancelled classes the night before, it actually went pretty smoothly for most of Monday morning.

Nicole Ari Parker is heading to Broadway! The Soul Food actress will be making her Broadway debut, as Blanche Du Bois, in the 2012 revival of A Streetcar Named Desire.
Parker will be starring in the play opposite actor Blair Underwood, who will be playing Stanley Kowalski. This is a huge opportunity for the pair, who in my opinion, tend to be underrated actors. There is no doubt in my mind that Underwood and Parker will bring the spunk, sass and emotion needed to execute these characters the right way.
The 2012 revival of the play is expected to be multi-racial and will be directed by Emily Mann. Stephen C. Byrd, of Front Row Productions, has the rights to A Streetcar Named Desire and is on-bard to produce the revival
The play's score will be composed by famed jazz trumpeter Terence Blanchard.
The revival of A Streetcar Named Desire will return to Broadway sometime in the spring of 2012.

CAIRO - Accusing police of trampling on religious freedoms, Muslim organizations have filed a lawsuit against the New York Police over spying on the sizable minority and their worship places.
"When a police department turns law-abiding people into suspects because they go to a mosque and not a church or a synagogue, it violates our Constitution's guarantees of equality and religious freedom," Hina Shamsi, director of the American Civil Liberties Union National Security Project, told a press conference cited by Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, June 19.
The lawsuit, filed in US District Court for the Eastern District of New York on Tuesday, charges that the New York police equates the practice of Islam with suspicious activities.
NY Muslims Decry Businesses SurveillanceHRW Urges US Probe Into NY Muslim Spying |
It calls for ending the New York police surveillance of Muslims and destroying all records compiled by the spying program.
The Associated Press has revealed that the NYPD sent out undercover officers into ethnic communities to track their daily life and monitor mosques as well as Muslim student organizations.
It also revealed that the NYPD intelligence had established so-called Demographics Unit using plainclothes police officers to monitor ethnic groups in the metropolitan region.
The AP also found that the NYPD kept secret files on businesses owned by second- and third-generation Americans specifically because they were Muslims.
According to the agency, police photographed businesses and eavesdropped at lunch counters and inside grocery stores and pastry shops.
Using this information, the police department built databases showing where Muslims live, pray, buy groceries, and use internet cafes.
The revelations angered US Muslims, who described the police surveillance as a violation of their civil and religious rights.
The debate on the police surveillance has ignited in the past two weeks after revelations that the federal government has secretly collected phone records on a massive scale for years.
Muslim Fears
Muslims complain that the police surveillance has left their community in a state of fear.
I don't want to subject myself or my congregants to any police scrutiny or worse than that, said Hamid Hassan Raza, the imam of the Brooklyn-based Masjid Al-Ansar.
Raza, one of the defendants, said the police surveillance has made him suspicious of newcomers to the mosque, fearing they might be informants.
The imam says he spent more than $2,000 to record his sermons to use as insurance against any investigation into his comments.
We are not able to speak about these openly because we are afraid.
Asad Dandia, a 20-year-old college sophomore from Brooklyn who co-founded Muslims Giving Back, a charity that feeds the needy, said his group was infiltrated by a police informant.
He said the association with the police informant has left him ostracized and unable to engage in community and religious work.
We have been rejected from our own local mosque, our donations have declined and to this day there are peoplefriends, childhood friendswho do not want to be seen in public with me.
Ramzi Kassem, an attorney representing Dandia in the lawsuit, said the surveillance has left Muslim communities at large reluctant to report everyday crime, fearing routine everyday reactions with police will be used for intelligence gathering purposes.
Since 9/11, US Muslims, estimated between six to eight million, have become sensitized to an erosion of their civil rights, with a prevailing belief that America was stigmatizing their faith.
Last year, the CIA launched an investigation into cooperation with NYPD to spy on American Muslims.In 2011, the New York University's Center for Human Rights and Global Justice issued a report criticizing the tactic of US law enforcement agencies in sending paid informants into mosques to instigate and trap Muslims into terror plots.

this game is fully voice over friendly now with ios 7, and all buttons are labeled. some new features of the game are...the word "solved" is placed next to the cule that is correctly guessed. The guess button pops up after the word choices have been made, no need to swipe to find it. There's a "menu" button to make puzzle choices you want to play. The game seems to be more stable in the sense the letters or clues do not loose focus after guessing a clue. If you have purchased a puzzle set, it keeps track of the ones you have played by indicating "sloved" by the number of that puzzle. I really enjoy playing this game. I had to do nothing to setup the game after updating to ios 7.

I googled, but I can't find something simple and to the point that will help me decide whether to tackle this job.
My sister's white picket fence, installed two years ago, has something yellow coming thru the white paint. My DD says it's like a sap or something oily coming out of the white-painted boards. She wants to go over there and take on this fence re-painting project. I MIGHT be willing, but I need to have a clear idea of HOW MUCH WORK IS INVOLVED! I am working full time. So is she. Don't even THINK about suggesting my sister for this project. In fact, my sister has NO idea we are contemplating. Her mother-in-law, who is 80, lives in the back part of the duplex and it is worrying her. That's why we may do it. So, what do we HAVE to do???? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Can't believe I just saw this, Red - I'm your go-to gal on fence painting! There's nothing hard about it, it's just time consuming. These are spaced pickets? If so, then you have 4 sides on each picket to paint (duh) and the four sides of the top and bottom rails to paint plus fence posts. Hopefully you can access the fence from both sides to make life easier and a friendly neighbor shares the fence. Clean the fence first, knock off any loose dirt and wash off anything stuck like bird poo. Then you need to use a stain blocking primer and unless the paint that's on there is particularly shiney, you can prime right over what's there. Once that's dry, paint away with an exterior latex. As for tools, it's really up to you. You can use mini rollers or a brush or a combination, which is what I do. Now let me tell you my picket fence story; In my old house there was a picket fence in the backyard between my house and the neighbor - a not very neighborly neighbor. But I wanted to freshen the fence so I repainted it on both sides (because I am a neighborly neighbor) without stepping foot in her yard. I hung myself over that fence and painted upside down! Never heard a word from her, not thank you - nothing. But I came home from work one day to find the fence had been repainted - on her side only - in BLACK! Only thing was, she painted the sides of each picket, too, so that looking at it from my side I had a zebra striped fence! There was no getting through to her about the absurdity, and I really didn't want to initiate a legal/court response over paint. So I stewed for a few weeks then installed a privacy fence just inside the picket fence - lost a few inches of yard but it was worth it. That double fence stayed there till she sold and new people moved in 20 year later. |
OK, Deb. You win for crazy neighbor story. And she couldn't be moved to freshen her fence till she saw what you had done. Weird. Glad for you she's gone. Thanks for the help. In my head, I'm thinking..............maybe 2 or 3 hours work? Nope. I see the light. So, now we have to decide if we can do this. The installers (cheap labor) probably didn't prime at all huh, if sap is leaking through? Red |
- Posted by live_wire_oak (My Page) on Sat, Apr 11, 09 at 14:49
A sprayer is the way to go! Spot prime the bleedthru with a shellac based primer and spray the rest. Throw down some plastic over the shrubbery, prime, then paint. It can be a couple of hours worth of work with a sprayer. |
I agree with live wire.....spot prime and spray it~~~ |
Rent an airless sprayer, Kills may stop the oozing of sap, then spray paint with a nice outdoor paint. |
- Posted by sombreuil_mongrel (My Page) on Sat, Apr 11, 09 at 20:46
The only picket fence I ever painted, I rented a large paint pump type sprayer; the kind that sits on a 5 gallon paint pail. They shoot paint like a mofo. Watch for overspray on everything nearby. Have a helper holding a good size hunk of cardboard behind the pickets. Brush out the paint if possible for better adhesion. Casey |
There are a lot of things I'll spray but a fence would be tough - too much risk of overspray as Casey said and if there is a driveway or cars in the vicinity - yikes. What's around it - a garden? just grass? That will make a difference. |
I once watched painters paint my friends fence. They used a sprayer, but tacked one end of a painters drop cloth onto a 2x4. One guy held the cloth up behind the fence while the other guy sprayed. It took no time at all! |
Just grass. Driveway on one side, the neighbor's dirt drive on the other. Red |
- Posted by trailrunner (My Page) on Sun, Apr 12, 09 at 15:50
I just finished ALL of mine. I had a brush and a bucket and a tiny brush for the hard to get to places. Wish I had had Deb here to help!! I couldn't use a sprayer as there were too many "things" that would be ruined so it was the long way for me too. I used white stain not paint. Much better I think than paint. We'll see though. But I am not doing it again for a LONG time LOL. c |
- Posted by bronwynsmom (My Page) on Sun, Apr 12, 09 at 18:21
I paint a fence by piking up the phone, putting on a straw hat, making a nice dry martini, and watching the painters work. But the drop cloth on the 2 x 4 and the sprayer sounds like a brilliant method! |
- Posted by patricia43 (My Page) on Sun, Apr 12, 09 at 19:19
I was going to say but Brownysmom beat me to it. |
I painted a few panels of 4x4 lattice (8 ft high!) at my FL house. Never again. The next set, I hired out. I didn't think fencing was the right opportunity to learn how to use a sprayer. If you've done it before...then maybe. Dirt and grass does sound like a user-friendly situation though. |
- Posted by patricia43 (My Page) on Sun, Apr 12, 09 at 20:34
I would not want a sprayer to be used to paint a picket in my garden because of the spray onto the lawn, the flowers, the birds, etc. I want a painter adept at using a brush. There are many different brushes for hard-to-reach areas as well. I also do not want my pergola sprayed. I want good coverage so it does not have to be done every year. |

"I LOVE THIS NEW BRUSH! So much easier and effective! Thanks for improving your already fabulous product! Best Wishes, Samantha Kanter"
"I liked Shampowder before, but now I love it! Awesome new applicator." - Haylee W.
"Hello - Just a quick note to let you know I LOVE the new applicator. I always had a hard time getting the powder out of the brush and had developed a system of unscrewing the top and trying to gently tap a small amount where I needed it. Then I would screw the top back on and use the brush. As you can imagine, the potential for mess was great. No problems with the new applicator. BRAVO. Thank you!" - Melissa S.
"Thanks so much for your shipment of Shampowder. It's already a new favorite. I used it for root volume and body on an actresses' hair and it worked beautifully while still allowing the hair to move. Thanks for a great product!" - Scott Williams (Head Hair Stylist for CSI Miami)
"I really do use the Shampowder quite a bit. I liked the Tresemme product decently, but the Shampowder was far superior." - Melissa at LatestBeauty.com
Thank you very much! I love your product. I've tried many hair powders, and like yours the best. I am a natural redhead, and your powder color just disappears in my hair. Most of the powders for red hair are a crazy color not in nature ( I think Ronald McDonald is the inspiration!). Yours I love though. I like the container and application brush in one also. I travel all over the world, and never leave without a container of your hair powder." - Lisa K. Wallis
"Just wanted to let you know how much I love my shampowder in brown. It does a great job touching up my oily hair, smells so good and is even good to brush on your face for a little color. I'll be recommending to friends!" - Sherri Cunningham
"Thank you! You saved me for a happy hour tonight!!!" - Lori Noland
"I am writing to tell you what a great product Shampowder is! I've been looking for a "dry shampoo" for years! TIGI recently came out with a spray powder that is a great product however it is extremely expensive and the product itself is deceiving. It comes in a big can but yet only has 6 ounces in it and with a whopping price tag of $18.99. I literally got 2 uses out of it. Finally-I read about Shampowder in my Shape magazine and thought I'd give it a try and am I'm ever so glad for that article!! Your product is amazing! I live in Fort Worth, TX, where the temps are above 100 and I went TWO full days without washing my hair! I have told everyone about this product! It's truly amazing!! Finally a product that works and that won't break the bank!!" - Gina Fracassi
"You don't even know how addicted I am to my Shampowder! It saved me so many times I can't even tell you. I cannot live without it and i cannot wait to find out about the upcoming product." - Pam Brodsky
"I use this (Shampowder) at my hairline it keeps my bangs from getting oily. You should sell it for that." - Angela Del Marson
"I love this product!! It has saved me from having to wash my very oily hair on a daily basis...thank you and please don't ever stop selling this product!!!" - Michelle Kuzma
I am using your shampowder and it really saves me time in between washings and saves my hair from damage. I dance and sweat a lot and had to wash my hair every day before but not anymore thanks to your wonderful product." - Sheryl Kaya
"Just want y'all to know I love the product and that I discovered it on an advertisement on Facebook! I'm rather high maintenance, but I go camping a lot and work outdoors! I used baby powder until now!" - Joelle Soto
"Hi, I was just wondering if I could get an update on my order. I'm sorry to bother you with this, normally I would be more patient, however I am leaving for vacation in about a week and really was hoping to take this dry shampoo with, it's the best I've ever used!" - Samara Stebbins
"Congratulations on creating this product! I have thought about creating this exact product for YEARS!!!! I know so many people that put baby powder in their hair... Your product should be in every salon, beauty supply, etc...I will send your website link out to all my friends!"- Susan Finn
"Your product is fantastic. I finally had to break down and get one for my purse. I find that if I apply a little Shampowder everyday i never get dirty and greasy. Subsequently my hair only has to be washed and flat ironed once a week. Needless to say my Elumen hair color is just as vibrant as the day it was applied. Thank you.You supplied a very much needed innovation in the Hair Care Industry. Every color client should Shampowder every day, not Shampoo everyday." - Eunice at Tonia Salon
"My name is Jennifer Urquhart. I purchased your Shampowder (Brunette/Red) recently. I wanted to let you know how much I LOVE your product!! It is everything it promises to be and more! I am a full time college student and getting to class in the morning can be difficult. Your product makes my life so much easier! I have recently switched to washing my hair every other day on the advice of a magazine article promising healthier hair. My hair is much healthier however the only problem is that my hair gets a little oily. Your product completely freshens my hair, adds volume and gets rid of the oil. It blends perfectly with my hair color and there is NO MESS. The product is easy to use and the packaging is adorable. I will be a life long customer!! Your product is WONDERFUL!!" - Jennifer Urquhart
"I recently purchased Shampowder for the first time, and I am very impressed with its effectiveness and invisibility. Thank you for the fine product, and regards." - Jana Folske

Milwaukee Man Sentenced to 30 Years Imprisonment for Sex Trafficking of Minors
United States Attorney James L. Santelle announced today that on March 29, 2012, Federal District Court Judge Rudolph T. Randa sentenced Milwaukee resident Sean D. Patrick (age: 37) to 30 years imprisonment following his conviction of four counts of sex trafficking of minors. Judge Randa ordered that Patrick was to begin serving the 30 year federal sentence after he completed his current state court sentence of 20 years which flowed from his 2011 conviction for Second Degree Reckless Homicide While Armed.
According to the indictment and other information disclosed in court proceedings, Patrick began his sex-trafficking activities in the early 2000's. He targeted younger females who appeared to come from disadvantaged and broken families because they were more vulnerable to his persuasion. In his own words, he stated that he "sold them a dream of living in mansions, riding in the best cars, and having jewelry." "Once I had a girl hooked," he said, he then brought them into his prostitution business.
Further according to public court records, Patrick typically transported his prostitutes to Chicago to work on the race track there, sometimes driving them in a Chevy conversion van with the words "Ho Hauler" emblazoned on the van's front quarter panel. Patrick regularly abused his prostitutes for various infractions, including punishments if they disobeyed his rules of prostitution, acted disrespectfully towards him, or missed the evening Greyhound Bus to Chicago and were unable to prostitute that night. As punishment, Patrick struck the females with his fists and hard objects, choked them, stomped on their backs, and made them have sex with his friends in public. In one instance, Patrick recruited a 16-year-old runaway to become his prostitute. When he found out that the police were looking for her in Milwaukee, he took her to Chicago to engage her in prostitution there. On another occasion, Patrick threatened to kill a Greyhound Bus employee who would not allow his prostitutes to board a bus bound for Chicago because the bus was already filled to capacity.
In making the public announcement of the sentence imposed on Patrick, United States Attorney Santelle stated: "Yesterday, through his words and his sentence, Judge Randa voiced the legitimate outrage of our community over the despicable conduct of men who seduce, recruit, exploit, and employ children in the horrific, destructive business of prostitution. This prosecution of Sean Patrick stands as a compelling reminder that those who manipulate and destroy the lives of society's most vulnerable members in this district and throughout the nation will face consequences of the highest magnitude within our criminal justice system."
Santelle also explained: "The investigation and prosecution of human trafficking cases in Eastern Wisconsin is among the highest priorities of my office, and we will continue to pursue the perpetrators of this heinous conduct with all of the resources available to us." In that connection, Santelle specifically identified and expressed appreciation for the law enforcement coordination and strategic cooperation accomplished through the Project Safe Childhood Task Force, the Human Trafficking Task Force, and the many federal, state, and local policing offices that participate actively in those partnership groups. He also commended Assistant United States Attorneys Joseph R. Wall and Melvin K. Washington "for their outstanding work in bringing Sean Patrick to justice–work aggressively and effectively supported by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Milwaukee Police Department, and our highly professional and tireless Victim Witness Staff."

After what happened on Mars, if that string of rocks and gas was coming toward earth could we destroy it with a laser ? If so what kind? I am 8 years old.
That's a good question (although it was Jupiter that recently got hit) We don't yet have any lasers powerful enough to destroy or deflect a large meteor, asteroid, or comet. Some scientists think we might be able to use nuclear weapons to deflect an object on a collision course with the earth if we detect the object early enough. The real problem is detecting the object: even a large meteor is very, very small compared to a moon or planet, and space (as they say) is a very big place.

Conservatory of Music
The Conservatory of Music (affectionately known as "the Con") is Oberlin's (justly famous) music school. It was founded in 1865 as a private music school and became part of Oberlin College in 1867. The current Dean of the Conservatory is David Stull '89.
Contents |
The Conservatory was previously housed in Warner Hall, a large stone building where Hall now stands. It now occupies four interconnected buildings on the south side of Tappan Square.
The original structure of three big white buildings was designed by the Japanese-American architect Minoru Yamasaki in 1963. Built around a central courtyard (the only part of the conservatory many college students are familiar with), these are:
- Bibbins Hall, which is primarily faculty studios and administrative offices
- the Central Unit, which includes Warner Concert Hall, Kulas Recital Hall, group rehearsal spaces, concert halls, and the music library
- Robertson Hall, which has at least 150 practice rooms
To the east of Robertson and the Central Unit is the new Bertram and Judith Kohl Building, which was completed in 2010. The Kohl Building now houses the Jazz Studies, Music History, and Music Theory departments. Kohl is connected to Robertson by a third-floor enclosed bridge, which also contains the Sky Bar (named for a famous Cleveland jazz club that closed in 1954).
Tour guides like to tell prospies that the Conservatory houses more Steinway pianos under one roof than any other building in the world, excluding the Steinway factory. (For one thing, it was reported in 1999 that Oberlin had been an all-Steinway school since 1877 (only 23 years after the company was started!) and, according to them, we're the school that's been doing business with them the longest.)

I live in Washington, DC with five other recent college graduates. I just love adapting new recipes for the crew to try out. I consider any recipe a success if the girls fight over who gets to take it for lunch the next day!
I also have celiac disease which means I must maintain a gluten-free diet, free of wheat, barley, and oats. I am also a budding vegetarian. My favorite cookbook is a toss-up between Bette Hagman's "Gluten-Free Gourmet" (because it so easy!) and Mollie Katzen's "The Enchanted Broccoli Forest"
Anything gluten-free!
I also *love* Asian cuisine -- Indian, Nepali, Thai, anything -- since many of these recipes are celiac-friendly.
Oh, and I'm an ice cream fanatic!

Prevent costly repairs by choosing the professional plumbers at Perfection Plumbing Service in New Castle, Pennsylvania, for drain cleaning services.
More often than not, the liquids you use to fix your clogged or backed up drains are ineffective. Sometimes the clog is too far down for the liquid to reach, or the liquid just isn't strong enough to clear the clog. These chemicals can eventually eat away at your sink and pipes, making a small problem even bigger and more expensive to repair.
This is why you need a professional plumber. Let the experts at Perfection Plumbing Service take care of it at a reasonable cost. We come out to snake your drain and clear that clog out fast.
When your sink drains are clogged, it is usually because the stopper gets filled up with gunk and hair, which causes poor drainage. Do not worry though, because we are expert plumbers and we'll get it fixed for you in no time.

In case you didn't already know, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony are married! Okay, maybe you already knew that, but the couple have been surprisingly reluctant to acknowledge that they're husband and wife. Now, eight months after their surprise backyard nuptials, and two weeks after their chemistry-free Grammy duet, Lopez is affirming that Anthony is, in fact, her hubby, in the next issue of People. ''Yes, we're married,'' she tells the magazine, in a cover story timed to coincide with the release of her album Rebirth. ''I mean, come on, everyone knows. It's not a secret.''
In another sorta-scoop, the magazine describes the symptoms of the mystery illness (swollen glands and sore throat) that grounded her post-Grammy European promotional tour (her doctors ordered her not to fly). One might even infer from the article that the illness had something to do with her lackluster Grammy performance, since it says that she was ailing the night before the telecast. One thing Lopez was not suffering from was morning sickness; she insists she's not pregnant, though she says she's eager to have a child with Anthony (who has three kids from previous relationships).
Other big revelations: Anthony calls her Lola; she calls him Papi. They live in a mansion in Brookville, on Long Island, where he spends days painting the house while she makes runs to the gym or to Starbucks. In other words, she's now Jenny From the 'Burbs.
