- events in nyc/
- more in arts & entertainment/
If you love live music, there's no better place than NYC—home to countless venerated concert halls that host both superstars and rising stars every night of the week. Below, find a sampling of upcoming shows.
January 9, February 18, March 9, April 3, May 28, June 20 and more
Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden
Perhaps emboldened by near-instant sellouts of the area gigs he'd already announced, living legend and New York icon Billy Joel will play what used to be called a residency at Madison Square Garden (they're saying they've turned the man into a "franchise"), performing a show a month as long as people keep showing up. For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
January 14, 17, 21, 24, 28 and 31
Savages at The Mercury Lounge and Saint Vitus
The post-punk British female troupe—who became critical darlings following the release of their debut, Silence Yourself—plays a string of intimate performances in Manhattan and Brooklyn. See them now before they're big(ger). The shows are sold out, so try your luck on stubhub.com.
January 25, February 22, March 29, April 26 and May 31
They Might Be Giants at Music Hall of Williamsburg
Brooklyn's own beloved nerd-rock outfit has plans for a big 2015, with new "Dial-A-Song" recordings every week and live shows in their home borough every month. Check musichallofwilliamsburg.com;for details on the shows, some of which will feature full-album sets. For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com
January 29
Marilyn Manson at Terminal 5
Join other beautiful people in the mosh pit, slam dancing to the leading professional parent-scarer of the 1990s. For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
January 30
Machine Head at Irving Plaza
These Oakland-bred pioneers of the New Wave of American Heavy Metal tour in support of a new album, Bloodstone and Diamonds. For tickets, visit livenation.com.
January 30
Jack White at Madison Square Garden
The White Stripes, the Dead Weather, the Raconteurs, plain old Jack White—in any guise, this guy's distorted blues-rock guitar and high-pitched wail have become indelibly branded on the American consciousness. In other words, expect a fun night. Just don't bring up the Black Keys. For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
February 3
Diana Ross at Kings Theatre
A supreme legend headlines the reopening of a Flatbush landmark. The 3,000-seat Kings Theatre, which debuted in 1929 as a movie palace, had been out of commission for almost 40 years before its nearly $100 million restoration. For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
February 6
Spandau Ballet at Beacon Theatre
This much is true: these dapper New Romantics briefly ruled the MTV roost back in the early 1980s. If you're not ready to buy a ticket to the world, consider buying a ticket to their show; do so at ticketmaster.com.
February 6
Jay Farrar at City Winery
One half of the songwriting genius (along with future Wilco founder Jeff Tweedy) behind alt-country heroes Uncle Tupelo, Farrar has gone on to front Son Volt, release a few solo albums and set lyrics by Woody Guthrie and Jack Kerouac to music. Expect heartfelt, well-crafted Americana, if not too much of the early stuff you might yearn for. For tickets, visit citywinery.com.
February 7
D'Angelo at Apollo Theater
This R&B singer's latest album, Black Messiah, is his first since 2000's Voodoo. Like most of his funk-tinged music, it seems out of time yet totally fresh; despite (or thanks to?) releasing just a few dozen songs in 20 years—making him in some way the anti-Prince—he's cultivated quite the legacy, fan base and mystique. Tickets sold out for this show in a hot minute; try your luck on stubhub.com.
February 7
Lee Ranaldo and Adam Rudolph's Go at Rockwood Music Hall
It seems natural for Lee Ranaldo to headline Rockwood's Alternative Guitar Summit (which runs February 4–8); along with fellow Sonic Youth guitarist Thurston Moore, it almost feels like he invented the genre. For tickets, visit ticketfly.com.
February 10
Robert Earl Keen at Music Hall of Williamsburg
Along with kindred types Lyle Lovett and Nanci Griffith, Keen was part of a hyperliterate group of Texas singer-songwriters elbowing their way onto the 1980s country scene. For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
February 10–21
Buster Poindexter at Café Carlyle
Native Staten Islander David Johansen of the New York Dolls dusts off his alternate persona for these shows, tickets for which are sure to be hot, hot, hot. To get 'em, visit ticketweb.com.
February 11
Meshell Ndegeocello at Jazz at Lincoln Center
The famed performer pays tribute to Nina Simone as part of Lincoln Center's American Songbook series. For more info and tickets, visit americansongbook.org.
February 11
New York Blues Hall of Fame Concert at B.B. King Blues Club & Grill
Did you know that New York had its own blues hall of fame? Inductees may not be the big names you'd recognize, but they've all paid their dues on the local scene. For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
February 11
Zap Mama & Antibalas at Highline Ballroom
Marie Daulne's vocal ensemble, Zap Mama, teams with instrumentalists Antibalas for a collaborative celebration of modern Afrobeat. For tickets, visit ticketweb.com.
February 13
Titus Andronicus at Brooklyn Night Bazaar
It shall be no lamentable tragedy when these Garden State punks cross the Hudson (and the East River) to rock Brooklyn's favorite night market-cum-concert venue. For more info, visit bkbazaar.com.
February 13
Talib Kweli at Lincoln Center
This Brooklyn rapper—known for literate lyrics and social consciousness—dropped his latest album, Prisoner of Conscious, last May. For tickets, visit lincolncenter.org.
February 13
The Hold Steady at Bowery Ballroom
It's the day before Valentine's Day, but it's not too soon to feel the romantic pull of gritty, Brooklyn-by-way-of-Minneapolis alternative rockers The Hold Steady. If "I Hope This Whole Thing Didn't Frighten You" doesn't make you swoon, then, well, that's actually not too surprising. Fun tune, though! (This event is a benefit for the Rock On Foundation.) For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
February 14
Aesop Rock at The Gramercy Theatre
This hip-hop wordsmith's lyrics have been featured everywhere from a New York Times best-selling book to Yale University's Anthology of Rap. He's based in San Francisco these days, but this show is still a homecoming: he was born in Long Island and came up through the NYC scene. For tickets, visit livenation.com.
February 14
Living Colour at Brooklyn Bowl
They ain't no glamour boys—they're fierce! (Though look away from their outfits in this video if you want to maintain that impression.) They're also back, releasing a new album and playing some dates along the East Coast, including this Valentine's soiree. For tickets, visit ticketfly.com.
February 16
Theophilus London at Bowery Ballroom
Up-and-coming singer-rapper Theophilus London has pretty much arrived. After the success of debut album Timez Are Weird These Days, his follow-up, Vibes!, was produced by none other than Kanye West. For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
February 17
George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic at B.B. King Blues Club & Grill
If dialing into P-Funk's mothership connection doesn't make you want to get off your you-know-what and jam, well, there may be no hope. For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
February 17–22
Kermit Ruffins and the Barbecue Swingers at Blue Note
Non-jazz aficionados might know Ruffins from appearances on Treme or Top Chef, but fans of the genre have been well aware of the New Orleans trumpeter for years: he's a regular at Jazzfest and a bit of a Crescent City impresario. His band hits town for a Mardi Gras run. For tickets, visit bluenote.net.
February 18
Paul Collins Beat at Cake Shop
An important player on the early US power-pop scene (founder of the Nerves and the Beat), Collins will have you wondering where you stored your skinny ties. Unless, of course, you're wearing one. For information, visit the venue's Tumblr.
February 21–22
Helmet at Bowery Ballroom and Saint Vitus
Somewhere between metal, math rock and post-punk, Helmet stood poised in the 1990s to be the, or at least a, next big thing. Despite commercial success, they never quite hit the top and disbanded at the end of the decade (to be revived about five years later). At these sold-out shows, they'll be performing songs from 1994's Betty; for tickets, visit stubhub.com.
February 26–27
Sleater-Kinney at Terminal 5
Portlandia couldn't keep Carrie Brownstein away from her guitar for too long (a brief foray with Wild Flag notwithstanding); her influential 1990s feminist punk outfit is back with a new record, No Cities to Love. Both shows are sold out; for tickets, visit stubhub.com.
February 28
Jukebox the Ghost and Secret Someones at Irving Plaza
Jukebox the Ghost started as a poppy rock band that sounded like a hyperactive cross between Ben Folds Five, Queen and They Might Be Giants. On their most recent album, they went full force on the pop production and sometimes sounded a little bit like Fun (the "We Are Young" folks). If there's one thing the old stuff and the new stuff have in common, though, it's that the songs are super-catchy. For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
March 6
Gang of Four at Irving Plaza
It's more like a Gang of Three…or, if you're just counting original members, a Gang of One. But hey, we won't argue if it means we get to hear the likes of "Damaged Goods" and "I Love a Man in a Uniform." For tickets, visit livenation.com.
March 12
G. Love and Special Sauce at Irving Plaza
These funky Philadelphians made a splash on the 1990s alternative hip-hop scene. They reunited for a spring 2014 release, Sugar, which marked the 20th anniversary of their self-titled debut. For tickets, visit livenation.com.
March 13
The Church at Bowery Ballroom
This Australian alternative rock band released their 25th (not a typo!) album, Further/Deeper, last October. Also of interest to fans: this marks the US live debut of new guitarist Ian Haug. For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
March 13 and 15
Meghan Trainor at Irving Plaza
She's all about that bass, 'bout that bass, 'bout that bass. Meghan Trainor's song is already playing in your head anyway. At this show, the 20-year-old artist is virtually certain to also play it in real, physical space. For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
March 14
Diana Krall at The Beacon Theatre
The bestselling Canadian jazz singer and pianist—with a truckload of multiplatinum records, Grammys and Juno Awards (those are from Canada) to her name—tours in support of her latest album, Wallflower. For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
March 14–15
Kindness at Bowery Ballroom and Rough Trade
British singer-songwriter Adam Bainbridge has been performing his blend of electronica and synth-pop since 2007. His sophomore album, Otherness—released this past October—brought touches of jazz, disco and R&B into the mix. For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
March 19
Perfume Genius at Stage 48
Seattle's Mike Hadreas, better known as Perfume Genius, makes absorbing indie-pop songs. His lyrics explore such themes as insecurity and society's attitudes toward the LGBT community with raw honesty. "Queen" is a good place to start. His latest album, Too Bright, received nothing but glowing reviews. For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
March 20–21
Ariana Grande at Madison Square Garden
The pint-size, ponytailed Nickelodeon actress turned pop star belts out her hits at Madison Square Garden. Decide for yourself whether she deserves those comparisons to Mariah Carey, and try to figure out what the heck is going on in this video. For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
March 26
Neil Diamond at Barclays Center
He may be known and loved all around the world (even, to some New Yorkers' chagrin, at Fenway Park), but Neil Diamond was born and raised in Brooklyn—so the hometown crowd should sing along extra loud on hits like "Sweet Caroline" and "Cracklin' Rosie." For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
March 27
Swervedriver at Music Hall of Williamsburg
This British band helped define the shoegaze genre of the 1990s before dissolving at the end of that decade. They've hardly looked up since. (But seriously, they've reunited, are releasing a new album and are out on tour.) For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
March 30
alt-J at Madison Square Garden
Fun fact: this English band chose its name because pressing the keyboard combination "alt+J" calls up the delta symbol, which represents change—an important theme in their work. Speaking of alt, the band's distinctive alternative-pop sound incorporates folk and hip-hop. For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
April 6
The Decemberists at The Beacon Theatre
If you crave an infusion of whimsical grandiloquence about vengeful mariners, homeless waifs and loves lost to tragedy, these hyper-literate indie folk rockers from Portland, Oregon, may be the act for you. The show is sold out, but you can still find tickets on stubhub.com.
April 9
Nightwish at Hammerstein Ballroom, Manhattan Center
This Finnish symphonic power metal band sets classically trained soprano Floor Jansen's soaring vocals against the epic, theatrical and gothic atmosphere of its music. For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
April 20–21 and 23–24
John Mellencamp at Carnegie Hall and Apollo Theater
His latest release, the largely acoustic Plain Spoken, has drawn raves, but we suspect that most folks will be happy enough just to hear him fight authority and sing a little ditty about two American kids from the heartland. For tickets, visit carnegiehall.org and ticketmaster.com.
April 10
The New York Pops Perform Sinatra at Carnegie Hall
The largest independent pops orchestra in the US pays homage to Ol' Blue Eyes. For tickets, visit carnegiehall.org.
April 27
Sixx:A.M. and Apocalyptica at Best Buy Theater
Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx's side project provided the soundtrack to his 2007 autobiography, The Heroin Diaries. Naturally, the book is in development to become a Broadway show. Opening act Apocalyptica is a Finnish string quartet known for classical covers of metal songs. For tickets, visit axs.com.
June 4
Ride at Terminal 5
This British indie band created one of the quintessential albums of the shoegaze genre (Nowhere). They then adopted a more melodic, Britpop-influenced style before a tense breakup in 1996. They got back together for one performance in the early aughts, but they've only just recently gone all the way and resumed touring. The show is sold out, but you can try your luck on StubHub.
June 10
Belle & Sebastian at Radio City Music Hall
The world's foremost practitioners of precious indie pop return with a new album, Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance, and a tour that sees them touching down before an appreciative area audience. For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
June 16
Reel Big Fish and Less Than Jake at Best Buy Theater
Reel Big Fish had a gold record during the ska-punk boom of the 1990s, and the band has held on to a loyal fan base through relentless touring and a highly caffeinated live show. Plus, lead singer-guitarist Aaron Barrett can shred with the best of 'em. Fellow hardened ska-punk vets Less Than Jake co-headline what has to be the show of 2015 (so far) for the genre's fans. This concert was rescheduled from the original date of January 27; if you had tickets for that show, they're still good. For more info, visit axs.com.
June 25–26
Bette Midler at Madison Square Garden
The woman who set countless mothers weeping with her soundtrack to Beaches recently released her 25th album, It's the Girls!, in which she covers classic songs from girl groups like the Supremes and the Andrews Sisters. For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com
Reverend Vince Anderson and the Love Choir at Union Pool
The band, which defines its style as "dirty gospel," busts out trumpets, guitars and a keyboard every week for lively performances in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. An actual ordained reverend, Anderson studied to be a Methodist minister in the '90s—but dropped out to pursue music full time. For more info, visit union-pool.com.
Fridays and Saturdays
Brooklyn Night Bazaar
This Greenpoint space hosts a parade of hip artists who play free shows. While you're there, you can buy food, clothes, accessories and records from local vendors, take a gander at art and play table tennis. All in all, it's a fun night out. For more info, visit bkbazaar.com.
Historic Richmond Town Tavern Concerts at Historic Richmond Town
Cozy up at Staten Island's Historic Richmond Town for this Saturday-evening series featuring folk and acoustic acts. For more info, visit historicrichmondtown.org.

Court Reinstates New York State Park Smoking Ban - More from News & Features
More New York Railways Prohibit Platform Smoking
G. Clay Whittaker
Posted: December 6, 2011
There's one less place to enjoy a cigar outdoors as the anti-smoking annexation of New York continues. Metro North and Long Island Railroad platforms will join the list of territories lost as the campaign against outdoor smoking presses forward.
Current rules already prohibit smoking on trains and in any indoor area associated with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. But the new law now extends to include ticketing and boarding areas and platforms with open air, effectively banning outdoor smoking from all railways.
In order to smoke, rail patrons will now have to light up in parking lots or other off-premises locations before enter- ing their station, making hearing—and catching—a train much more difficult.
Similar restrictions were already in place in New York City and New Jersey stations.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the legislation into law on August 15 to take effect 90 days later. At first, the MTA police officers instructed to enforce the ban will be offering warnings during a grace period. But after an undefined time frame, smokers could expect to be fined $50 or even spend 30 days in jail.
In a press release, Metro North president Howard Permut said "The new law is a benefit to our customers, helping us in our efforts to provide a healthier and cleaner environment on our platforms and in our ticketing and boarding areas." He also noted the potential for track fires caused by mishandled or still-lit tobacco products.
The MTA will also be getting the word out on the new restrictions with pre-recorded audio advisories voiced by a slew of New York celebrities.
Former Yankees, Jets, and Rangers have all lent voices to the ban, as has "Inside the Actors Studio" host James Lipton, and even one of the stars of "The Real Housewives of New York City."

I guess, the open air is now controlable, I wonder when the Government can take on real issues, and not chipping away at a persons rights, and crime must be at a stand still in NYC, since apparently Police have no real criminals to go after, and to bother law biding citizens. Oh! that's right your'e violating the law now!!
Ed Harvey — Auburn, WA, United States, — December 12, 2011 7:47am ET
Wow!! aprently the Government now also owns the air around you, and with these changes Crime must be at a stand still in NYC, cause the Police have nothing better to do but bother Law Bidig Citizen, Oh! that's right your'e violating the law!!

Castle Brands Inc. (NYSE Amex: ROX), a developer and international marketer of premium and super-premium branded spirits and wine, today reported financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2011.
Operating Highlights for quarter ended June 30, 2011:
- Total case sales increased 19% to 70,119 cases compared to 58,810 cases in the prior fiscal year period
- Rum case sales increased 17% on the momentum of Gosling's Rum®, our largest selling brand
- Liqueur case sales increased 19.4% led by Pallini Limoncello
- Vodka case sales increased 22% on the momentum of Boru vodka sales in the U.S.
- Quarterly U.S. case sales driven by organic growth and three new brands – Travis Hasse's Original® Pie Liqueurs, A. de Fussigny ® Cognacs and Jefferson's Rye
"The increased quarterly sales year-over-year confirms that our lineup of premium spirits brands is being well received by the market. This growth is being driven by increased case sales of some of our more profitable brands, such as Gosling's rums and Pallini Limoncello. We continue to focus on expanding distribution, enhancing our consumer marketing activities and adding complementary brands to our portfolio in order to drive growth," stated John Glover, Chief Operating Officer of Castle Brands.
"We are on the path towards long-term success, as we continue to reduce our quarterly loss year-over-year and drive increased total sales. The main driver of the lower costs is our strategy to streamline our corporate structure and effectively reduce distribution costs by focusing on the U.S. market and reducing overhead costs. We expect the full benefits of these cost savings efforts to be recognized in the current fiscal year," stated Richard J. Lampen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Castle Brands. "In June we completed a $7 million dollar private placement of Series A Preferred Stock which will support our capital needs to drive increased sales by expanding our distribution platform as well as making additions to our portfolio of premium brands."

We were so excited that our granite finally arrived 2 days ago. It is really beautiful. Tonight after a long week of work, I came home and started trying to put things away in our remodel/new kitchen. I purchased a Koehler stages sink with a fitted cutting board and other accessories that fit on its inside rim. As I was unboxing the pieces it became quite obvious, they were not going to fit. The prep sink also has a fitted cutting board and it fits but barely. I checked the template for the stages sink and it does not appear they used it to cut the hole. the sink hole is 5/8 inch smaller than the template. They were given the template and offered the whole sink when they came to measure. They had the whole prep sink but I suspect they cut the hole too small there also though it is more functional than the larger sink. I planned my whole island around the stages sink. It was over a 1k and now it has been reduced to a sink a quarter the cost. Can anything be done with the granite? We love our granite and I am sick over this. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by berlingirl (My Page) on Sat, Dec 15, 12 at 8:22
I cannot imagine that this cannot be fixed. The hole is too small, not too large correct? Is this a DIY project on the sink that you are putting in personally? Can you share a picture for the granite "experts" on here to evaluate? Sorry, so many questions, I can feel your stress in your post. |
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Sat, Dec 15, 12 at 10:41
"They were given the template and offered the whole sink when they came to measure." And either they chose not to use it, or they used it and screwed it up. Call them and tell them that the counter cutting does not match the template they were given and ad a result the sink is not usable the way it should be. Have them take the slab off and recut and repolish the sink opening. |
I am a fabricator. Sink screw ups suck but it sounds like you did everything right. Assuming thats true then the fabricator is obligated to correct the mistake. Hopefully you still owe him a final payment that you can withhold until the problem is corrected. If he is reputable operator he should fix it no questions asked and get the work done in just a few days. |

I usually use Rhizopan #3, but read so many good comments about DNG. So what concentration do you use? How long do you let the cuttings sit in it? Thanks |

I dilute it with 1 part Dip N Grow and 4 parts water. I dip for 5 seconds. |
For hardwood cuttings in wraps, in the late winter-early spring time frame, I mix it to about a 12.5% concentration (half way between the 10 and 15 indicators on the included beaker) and let them soak for a count of six. (one thousand one, one thousand two, etc.) It's great stuff! You can vary the concentration tremendously and it seems to last forever and remain effective. Kim |
I have had Zero luck with Dip N Gro. I think I am using too strong a solution for the size cuttings I have. I've been using 1 part to 5 parts water. Have had zero success. I used to have about 60 - 75% success with powdered Homex (I think it is called). I plan on trying a much weaker solution in the near future. Will report back. gracin |
1 part concentrate to 5 parts water is too strong. I use the concentrate to the indicated line in the plastic vial included in the package then fill it to between the 10 and 15 indicators and it works like a charm. I love how it doesn't gum up like the powders can. I've used it exclusively for several years in the concentrations stated and it hasn't failed me yet. Kim |
Thanks for the responses. I didn't have any luck with it years back but I bet I was using it at too strong a concentration. Have a new bottle to try for this spring's cuttings. |

After test driving the 2012 Audi A4 Quattro for 7 days, I had one word that pretty much summed up everything about this car – "tight." From the exterior body panels to the interior knobs and controls to the smooth, yet powerful engine, every little aspect of the A4 Quattro maps to this word. I really enjoyed my time with this vehicle and it was definitely hard to part with it.
The model that I tested was the S-Line/Prestige model which is a 6-speed manual transmission (much to the dismay of my wife who couldn't give it a test drive) so I was able to monopolize the A4 for a full 7 days. This was the first time I had ever driven an Audi and wasn't sure what to expect. The engine is turbocharged and it's an all-wheel drive. Gas mileage is estimated at 21 city and 31 highway. I averaged about 23-25 mpg for a combination of driving types which is decent for a performance vehicle like this.
From the exterior, the A4 was pretty unassuming, my model being a bright, clean "Ibis white" color on the outside and the interior carefully cloaked in luxurious black "S-line" leather. From the second I reached for the handle on the A4 and had the door automatically unlock simply because I had the keyless keyfob in my pocket to racing on down the road, quickly shifting smoothly through the gears, I knew that I was going to like this vehicle.

Coach Earleywine's squad brings back 19 players from the 2012 Super Regional team |
Sept. 20, 2012
COLUMBIA, Mo. - The Missouri softball team begins their annual fall schedule this Friday, Sept. 21, with a twin-bill at University Field. The Tigers will take on Columbia College at 2 p.m. CT before facing Highland Community College at approximately 3:30 p.m.
Mizzou is coming off their fifth straight NCAA Super Regional appearance, having swept through the Columbia Regional last season. The Tigers finished the year with a 47-17 record and had a final ranking of No. 11 in both the USA Softball/ESPN.com and NFCA/USA Today Top-25 polls.
The Tigers return 19 players from last year's team, highlighted by First Team All-American pitcher Chelsea Thomas, Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year Corrin Genovese, and All-Big 12 selections Mackenzie Sykes, Kelsea Roth, Jenna Marston and Nicole Hudson. Mizzou has three newcomers joining the squad, featuring freshmen Emily Crane (Troy, Mo.), the 2012 Missouri Gatorade Player of the Year, and Sarah Moore (Chino Hills, Calif.), who was ranked as the No. 21 senior in the entire country by ESPN. Also joining the team is transfer Sami Fagan (Dunnellon, Fla.), who was on the Freshman All-SEC Team last year as a member of the Florida Gators. Fagan must sit out this season due to SEC transfer rules.
Live stats will be provided via GameTracker at mutigers.com, while updates will be tweeted from the official Mizzou softball account (@MizzouSoftball). Admission to every fall game is free to the public.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
In Flash, there are two different types of text fields. There are fixed-width text fields and variable-width text fields. On the Stage here, I have some text, which I'll select with the Selection tool. To tell whether your text is fixed-width or variable-width, double-click your text to enter Text Editing mode. When you are in Text Editing mode, look at the bottom-right of your text field. If you see a circle, then that is a variable-width text field. Variable-width text fields expand horizontally as you add more text.
So if I add more text after California, you'll see the text field expands horizontally. I'll press Escape now to exit Text Editing mode. Now let's say you wanted to create a variable-width text field. All you have to do is use the Text tool and then click on the Stage and begin typing. Now, I'll undo that text field. Now let's look at fixed-width text fields. A fixed-width text field anchors the width of the text and the height of the text field expands as you add more text.
To convert a variable-width text field into a fixed-width text field, double-click the text field to enter Text Editing mode, and then double-click the circle at the bottom-right of the variable-width text field. Notice the text field updates to have squares on the left and on the right. This shows that I am working in a fixed-width text field. Notice that when I changed from a variable-width text field to a fixed-width text field that the square of the top right has red lines inside of it. This is a visual cue that the text field has overflow text.
So I am going to need to expand the width or height of the text field to get that text in there. So this time I am going to expand the width of the text field since I don't want the A on California to be on a separate line. So I am going to click- and-drag at the right edge. See these boxes around the text field? There are eight boxes around that you can click-and-drag to change the size of the text field. So the ones at the top and bottom expand the height, the ones at the left and right expand the width, and the ones in the corners expand width and height.
I am going to drag the handle on the right to fit all of that text in there. You can see that the box at the top right is updated to have a white inside. I am going to press Escape to exit Text Editing mode, and we'll look at how to create a fixed-width text field using the Text tool. I am going to deselect the text on the Stage and then I am going to go to the Text tool and to create a fixed-width text field, I'm going to click-and-drag the text area. So instead of clicking once, you click-and-drag and you can specify the width of your text field.
So I have my text field now and as I type text in it, you'll see that the text field does not expand horizontally. Rather the overflow goes vertical. So if I click-and-drag the text to expand it vertically, it can accommodate all the text that I have written inside of the text field. I am just going to undo creating that text field. So using fixed and variable-width text fields, you can customize the presentation of your text in Flash.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Brazil Workers Party Demands Central Bank Change -Source
BRASILIA (Dow Jones)--Brazil's ruling Workers' Party will demand major
changes in policy and personnel at the country's central bank once
President-elect Dilma Rousseff takes office in January, a highly placed
party leader said Friday.
"There is broad sentiment within the PT that the central bank has to
change," said a PT member of congress, who wished not to be named.
A main focus of the PT's ire is Central Bank President Henrique Meirelles,
who has served in the post for nearly eight years. Prior to the central
bank, Meirelles was an executive at U.S.-based Bank of Boston.
Under Meirelles, Brazilian interest rates have remained among the highest
in the world. At one point during Meirelles' stewardship, the Selic base
rate was over 20%. The rate is still a towering 10.75%.
"This is an extraordinarily high rate considering that interest rates in
much of the rest of the world are near zero," said Carlos Alberto Safatle,
chairman of the Sao Paulo Economists Association.
The PT congressman said Rousseff is already facing pressure from the party
"to bring central bank policy more into line with the party's
developmentalist leanings."
Rousseff is currently in Asia after accompanying President Luiz Inacio
Lula da Silva at the Group of 20 heads of state meeting in South Korea. So
far, she has kept her thoughts about cabinet appointments close to
As the PT's presidential candidate, Rousseff herself pledged to bring the
base rate down to a level equal to about two percentage points above
inflation. With inflation currently running at 5.0%, Brazil's base rate
under that theory would be about 7.0%.
Rousseff was chosen president by Brazilian voters on Oct. 31. She is due
to replace Lula da Silva on Jan. 1.
Although Brazil's central bank has enjoyed a high degree of autonomy under
Meirelles, the institution is still legally subordinate to Brazil's
president. Central bank officials are appointed by the president and do
not enjoy fixed terms.
During her presidential campaign, Rousseff's platform was based on the
broad outlines of so-called "developmentalist" policy. This approach to
economic development emphasizes ample government-supplied credit, low
interest rates and aggressive exports based on a comparatively weak
The leading exponent of the "developmentalist" approach in Brazil's
current government is Luciano Coutinho, president of the government's
National Development Bank, or BNDES. Coutinho holds an economics PhD from
Cornell University in the U.S. and was once Rousseff's economics
"Coutinho's name is now surfacing as a possible replacement for
Meirelles," said Safatle. "He's an able administrator. He managed a huge
increase in BNDES credit during the recent economic crisis."
But other economists warned that too much "developmentalism" might not go
down well with financial market participants, who are fearful of rekindled
"Financial markets would like to see continuity in monetary policy," said
Vladimir do Vale, chief strategist for Banco Credit Agricole in Sao Paulo.
"If Meirelles leaves, the ideal would be to elevate another board member
to the bank's presidency."
The most frequently named candidate among existing board members is
Alexandre Tombini, who heads the bank's financial system regulatory
At recent meetings with reporters, Meirelles has declined comment on his
plans for 2011.
A spokesman for Rousseff's transition team in Brasilia declined to comment
on possible central bank appointments.

Panamericano Faces Brazil Criminal Probe After Rescue
Nov. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Banco Panamericano SA, the Brazilian bank rescued
this week with a 2.5 billion reais ($1.5 billion) loan, is under a
criminal investigation after the central bank found accounting
inconsistencies, the public prosecutor said.
The aim of prosecutors is a**to investigate eventual crimes related to
facts recently reported on Banco Panamericano and to follow the central
bank supervision of the financial institution,a** the public prosecutor
office in SA-L-o Paulo said today in a statement posted on its website.
Panamericano shares fell 3 percent to 4.84 reais at 11:53 a.m. in New York
and are down more than 30 percent this week. Panamericanoa**s 8.5 percent
subordinated bonds due in 2020 traded at 94.5 cents on the dollar to yield
9.39 percent at, according to Trace. The securities lost 15.5 cents this
week, Trace data show.
Bank regulators noticed six weeks ago that there were discrepancies
between the volume of credit the bank declared it sold and the amount of
loan portfolios banks said they bought, Alvir Hoffmann, the central
banka**s supervision director, said at a press conference in Brasilia this
week. The central bank is investigating whether executives at Panamericano
face liability, said an official who asked that his name not be used in
accordance with government policy. Brazila**s central bank found the
discrepancies during routine supervision of the financial system, Hoffmann
The criminal probe a**is positive because it gives a guarantee that the
problem will be resolved as it should be,a** said Augusto Lange, who helps
manage 1.25 billion reais at Neo Gestao de Recursos in Sao Paulo. a**If
you dona**t resolve the problem, ita**s very bad for the government and
for minority shareholders of Panamericano, independently of what you find
in there.a**
Panamericano, the Sao Paulo-based bank controlled by Grupo Silvio Santos,
the holding company of the Brazilian media mogul, named Celso Antunes da
Costa as chief executive officer, replacing Rafael Palladino, and seven
new executive directors, after uncovering a**accounting inconsistenciesa**
that misrepresented the companya**s assets, according on a regulatory
filing on Nov. 9. The cash injection aims to a**preserve current levels of
capital,a** Panamericano said in the filing.
An official for Grupo Silvio Santos in Sao Paulo who asked not to be named
said today the investigation is ongoing.
State-controlled bank Caixa Economica Federal owns a 35 percent stake in
Panamericano focuses on personal loans, auto financing and mortgages for
low-income clients.

Dilma says weak dollar has created a grave crisis
Renata Giraldi Special Dispatch for AgA-ancia Brasil
Seoul, South Korea a** Brazila**s president elect, Dilma Rousseff,
declared that the devaluation of the dollar has caused a grave problem
for the whole world. As a guest at the G-20 summit, Dilma will attend
meetings but will not participate. However, she has defended positions
that Brazil, in the person of president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, will
present at the summit.
The Brazilian government has condemned isolated action, such as recently
practiced by the United States and China, saying it amounts to
protectionism, and disrupts the world economy. Lula and other Brazilian
authorities have strongly recommended a commitment by G-20 nations in
favor of global action so as to protect world economic equilibrium.
Dilma declared that the recent decision by the United States to buy $600
billion worth of Treasury notes to stimulate the US domestic market, is an
example of protectonism. a**It is protectionism camouflaged, an effort to
protect themselves,a** she said.
a**The weak dollar policy is a serious magtter of concern throughout the
world. This is something that has always caused problems. The weak dollar
policy transfers the burden of an adjustment in the American economy to
other economies,a** said Dilma. commenting on the suggestion by Brazila**s
minister of Finance, Guido Mantega, to create a basket of other currencies
besides the dollar for international transactions, Dilma said it was one
of the ideas for dealing with the present crisis that was on the table and
that any final decision would have to be negotiated.
Dilma reported that she had meet the South Korean minister of
Transportation, Jong-Hwan Chung and that they discussed the high-speed
train planned to run between Rio de Janeiro and SA-L-o Paulo. a**The
Koreans are interested in construction projects in Brazil and will be
welcome. They have lots of experience in building airports,a** she said.

Mantega says there was agreement at G-20 to avoid currency war
Renata Giraldi Special Dispatch for AgA-ancia Brasil
Seoul, South Korea a** As the curtain came down on the Seoul G-20 meeting,
Brazila**s Finance Minister, Guido Mantega, told the media that progress
had been made. He highlighted the fact that the president of the United
States, Barack Obama, responding to criticism (by Brazil and other
countries) that he was threatening global economic stability with policy
decisions to strengthen the US domestic economy (quantitative easing, for
example, that flooded world markets with cheap dollars), had promised to
take into consideration differences in the situation of different
countries - the rich nations and the emerging nations and their economic
situation (a**atuar de forma diferenciadaa**).
Mantega said the final document to come out of the meeting consisted of
commitments rather than explicit recommendations. a**It is, however,
recommended that currency manipulation be avoided,a** said the minister.
a**Everybody signed on. The G-20 is where you have to compromise.a** That
means that Germany will have to fall in line, as well, he declared. And
"macroprudence will be essential to avoid eventual problems and crises in
the future. Emerging economies will be able to control excessive inflow of
capital a** that is a step in the right direction that is an innovation,
explained the minister.
In summing up the results of the summit, Mantega said that although the
crisis is not over, the most important thing at the G-20 was an agreement
to avoid letting things get worse (a**evitar agravamento do desequilAbrio
The policy of everybody for himself, it was agreed, is counterproductive,
said Mantega. Countries will present balance sheets, something Mantega
said the Chinese initially resisted, but all finally agreed to. a**That
will make it possible to analyze the situation by monitoring current
accounts,a** he explained.

BP bids $466 mln for Brazil cane group stake-paper
Fri Nov 12, 2010 3:04pm GMT
SAO PAULO, Nov 12 (Reuters) - BP (BP.L: Quote) has bid 800 million
reais ($466 million) for a 50 percent stake in Brazil's
Cerradinho sugar and ethanol group, a Brazilian newspaper
reported on Friday.
Talks between the companies started a few months ago and
should be concluded on Friday, when Cerradinho's board is
expected to give a definitive answer to the proposal, O Estado
de S.Paulo newspaper said.
If Cerradinho rejects the deal, talks could be resumed with
other groups interested in the firm such as Bunge (BG.N: Quote), Cosan
(CSAN3.SA: Quote), Tereos (TERI3.SA: Quote), Noble (NBL.N: Quote) and
Louis Dreyfus,
the newspaper said.
A spokesman at Cerradinho said the company could not
confirm BP's bid but said Cerradinho is seeking a minority
shareholder as part of a broader corporate restructuring.
"The company is analyzing several options and almost got to
a decision, but hasn't concluded anything yet. We'll likely
have a decision by December," he said.
BP's office in Brazil said the company "does not comment on
market speculation."
The acquisition would be BP's second investment in the
Brazilian biofuels industry.
In April 2009, the UK oil major bought a 50 percent stake
in Tropical Bioenergia SA, with a mill in the central state of
Goias. French group Louis Dreyfus later bought one of the local
partners, becoming a stakeholder in the joint venture.
Cerradinho, which has for decades operated in Brazil's
sugar industry, has three mills that will crush about 10
million tonnes of cane in the current season.
Mergers and acquisitions have accelerated after the global
credit crisis in late 2008 caught many mills too indebted in
the middle of ambitious expansion programs.
The situation left a handful of distressed players in a
sector that had been previously considered overvalued.
BP was the first oil giant to invest in the sector,
followed by Brazilian state oil company Petrobras (PETR4.SA: Quote),
Exxon Mobil (XOM.N: Quote) and Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L: Quote), which is
teaming with sugar and ethanol group Cosan (CZZ.N: Quote).
Earlier this month, BP said it was focusing its biofuel
efforts on Brazilian sugar cane and U.S. energy grasses,
holding off on investments in the rest of the world for the
moment. [ID:nLDE6A217L]

Racing Pigeon Has Poor Sense Of Direction
By editor
Good morning, I'm Renee Montagne.
A pigeon that set out on what was to be a 600-mile race in Japan lost his way, and ended up landing 5,000 miles across the Pacific in Canada. When it was found on Vancouver Island, the bird was exhausted and very skinny. Now he's been adopted by a pigeon racing club there. They're considering breeding the bird, figuring his offspring will be just as resilient, though hopefully the young ones will get their sense of direction from the mother.
It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Since 1936, the exterminators at Capitol Pest have proven their expertise to customers time and time again. But partial credit for their success must go to Dr. Russell Travers, the on-staff entomologist (insect expert) who chimes in when particularly tricky pest infestations threaten homes. Many pests are easy enough to treat without his help, though, such as common ants, ticks, stinkbugs, and termites. Some treatments, such as termite baiting use eco-friendly techniques?in this case, a lethal but EPA-approved termite bait set in soil around the home and inside its structure that spreads quickly throughout the entire colony.
Bed bugs, on the other hand, quickly succumb to an insecticide that reaches inside every mattress and piece of furniture, making it impossible for the blood suckers to get a good night's sleep. A similar fate awaits rats and mice when the exterminators employ their anti-rodent program, setting traps and baits where rodents are active within the home and providing a thorough inspection for rodent entry points. After an estimate is provided, the staff is capable of sealing any necessary areas, be it, screening a vent, installing door sweeps, or replacing bricks, wood trim, or using concrete.

Mexico: A Cartel Leader's Death and Violence Ahead
December 17, 2009 | 1902 GMT
Mexican Navy Special Forces in Mexico City on Sept. 16

Mexican Navy Special Forces in Mexico City on Sept. 16
Beltran Leyva Organization leader Arturo Beltran Levya was killed in a
government raid Dec. 16. His death represents a major victory for the
government of Mexican President Felipe Calderon. Even so, Beltran
Leyva's death will spark violence as his group retaliates and as
Mexico's cartels jockey to fill the vacuum left by his death.
Arturo Beltran Leyva, the leader of the Beltran Leyva Organization
(BLO), died during a Mexican Navy Special Forces raid on an apartment
complex in Cuernavaca, Morelos state, late Dec. 16. Three of his
bodyguards also were killed and one committed suicide during the two
hour-long firefight, along with one member of the Mexican navy. The
firefight involved automatic rifles and fragmentation grenades, and
according to unconfirmed press reports, Arturo's brother, Hector Beltran
Leyva - another high-ranking BLO leader - also was killed.
Related Special Topic Page
* Tracking Mexico's Drug Cartels
The operation represents a considerable victory for the Mexican
government and Mexican President Felipe Calderon, especially given
recent criticism of Mexico's current counternarcotics strategy. Still,
the death of the BLO leader will create turbulence in the Mexican
security landscape as other drug trafficking players seek to fill the
ensuing power vacuum, especially given the BLO's extensive history of
retaliatory attacks.?
The Dec. 16 raid followed a week of signals and electronic
intelligence-gathering by the Mexican navy. Arturo was nearly caught the
week of Dec. 6 when the Navy Special Forces raided a Christmas party
hosted by the BLO leader at an estate in Tepoztlan, Morelos state, just
outside Cuernavaca. Both operations were likely highly
compartmentalized, i.e., known to only a few within the Mexican
government. This is due to the sensitive nature of the operations and
the level of penetration of the federal security apparatus by the BLO.
In the Dec. 16 raid, more than 200 Mexican Navy Special Forces troops
descended on the Altitude luxury apartment complex after pinpointing the
BLO's leader's exact location. Two naval helicopters were used to insert
troops on the roof as well as to provide aerial surveillance. Arturo's
security reportedly was deployed in concentric rings around the leader
on the 12th floor of one of the six apartment buildings in the complex,
a common tactic for barricaded subjects. As the special forces closed in
on Arturo's location, his bodyguards reportedly threw as many as 10
fragmentation grenades. More than 500 members of the Mexican army and
navy remained to secure the scene and the cadavers.
As the highest-ranking cartel leader to be toppled during Calderon's
administration, the death of Arturo Beltran Leyva represents a major
victory for the government. The raid highlights how the Calderon
government has chosen to proceed with its strategy of deploying the
military in the fight against the cartels despite mounting criticism
from the political opposition and international human rights groups.
Even so, the death of Arturo Beltran Leyva will mean expanded violence,
at least in the short term. The BLO has a history of extremely violent
retaliation against the Mexican government and rival cartels when its
leaders have been captured or even threatened.
For example, former head of the Federal Police, Edgar Millan, was
assassinated just hours after he launched an operation that nearly
captured Arturo Beltran Leyva in May 2008. Similarly, the son of rival
Sinaloa cartel leader Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman Loera was shot more than
100 times and killed in May 2008 after Guzman Loera reportedly tipped
off federal authorities to the location of high-ranking BLO member
Alfredo Beltran Leyva. Retaliatory attacks against high-ranking federal
security figures are therefore likely, and will be facilitated by BLO
penetration of the federal security apparatus.
If the intelligence that resulted in Arturo Beltran-Leyva's death was
provided by a rival cartel, retaliatory actions against that cartel can
also be anticipated. Los Zetas, which the BLO reportedly hired to carry
out the attack on El Chapo's son, could be hired to conduct some of
these retaliatory attacks.
Cartel Areas of Influence 2009
(click here to enlarge image)
Arturo Beltran Leyva's absence from the Mexican drug-trafficking scene
creates a large power vacuum as well, which will also lead to increased
violence. Who will fill his role within his organization remains unclear
at this time. Assuming Hector Beltran Leyva was not killed or captured
in the Dec. 16 operation, he will likely take the reins of the BLO.
Meanwhile, other drug-trafficking groups will likely seek to capitalize
on the weakened state of the BLO. Los Zetas, which partners with the
BLO, has long sought to increase their power and control in the BLO, and
could seize the opportunity presented by Arturo's death to further that
goal. Additionally, Guzman Loera could seek to consolidate the BLO back
under his control. Either way, Arturo's death will almost certainly
spark violence as these groups vie for the BLO's turf.

Oxford movement
Oxford movement
(1833–45) Movement within the Church of England that aimed to emphasize the church's Catholic inheritance as a source of legitimacy and deeper spirituality. Its main intent was to defend the Church of England as a divine institution against the threats of liberal theology, rationalism, and government interference. Though some in the movement (notably John Henry Newman and Henry E. Manning) ended up converting to Catholicism, most did not. Their concern for a higher standard of worship influenced not only the Church of England but also other British Protestant sects. The movement was also instrumental in the establishment of Anglican monasteries and convents.

C++ First Software: How To Make Simple Lovemeter In C++ (lesson 1)
C++ is one of the vast programming language ever. Many operating system are developed via C++. In my experience it is quite similar to java. Since i learnt java first , It was not much hard for me to shift to this language. The thing is we need have algorithm,concepts, know to use data structure's and correct methods declaration. You can use any c++ compilers but i recommend Microsoft Visual Studio 2005/2008/2010. I use Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. You can find it from Microsoft website. Download and install this compiler. You can try this link http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5555 .
First application : Lovemeter
Lovemeter is something like imaginary so it doesn't matter how you code it. I am just using addition, division and multiplication of the username lengths. Easy for you to understand. Create new win32 project from Microsoft Visual Studio. Be sure it is an empty project. Create new .cpp file named helloworld.cpp and paste the following code
Source Codes
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>using namespace std;
int main ()
char ans;
do {
system("TITLE Lovemeter By Pradeepsofts.com");
string firstname, secondname, again;
cout <<"Welcome to lovemeter by www.pradeepsofts.com\n";
cout << "Please enter first name: \n";
getline (cin, firstname);
cout << "Please enter second name: \n";
getline (cin, secondname);
float a=firstname.length();
float b=secondname.length();
float c=a + b;
float p= (a/c)*100 ;
cout << firstname <<" loves "<< secondname << p << " percent\n";
cout <<"Do you want to calculate love again? (y/n) : ";
cin >>ans;}
while((ans !='N')&&(ans !='n'));
return 0;
This is very simple we just appended some codes in main method. char ans holds the character value. I just used Do, While statement. system("CLS") clears the screen. system("TITLE text") helps to set the text to the respective window. string firstname, secondname, again – declaration of the string variable. cout is the echo tag for c++. It should be followed by << and double inverted comma and a semi colon. If we have to print the variable value then we just dont need to put double inverted comma. Scrolling below you can see variables printed and they dont require double inverted comma. Printing the specific texts we need double inverted comma. getline (cin, firstname) – This piece of code is to get the input of the user and store it to variable firstname. We could use INT instead of FLOAT but unfortunately c++ division required floating values i,e. 20/30 returns value 0 but 20.00/30.00 returns correct output. We just made some calculations. float a=firstname.length() – This is the syntax to get length of the string value stored in the variable. We could use INT here but Division requires value in 00.00 format and float data type makes floating values. cin >>ans; gets the input from users and store the value, While the value is y or Y or something else the program loops to first line of main method. Else if it is equal to n or N then the program ends. I have uploaded a sample Compiled executed (.exe) file. You can down it below and this is the output of the coding above. We will learn putting icons and making colorful GUI in upcoming lessons.
Hope this helped you as a simple start. We will have lots of tutorials in upcoming time taking from simple calculations to Great GUI networking applications.
