Basic fvwm Configuration
A geometry entry for an application might look something like this:
-geometry 420x360+5+20
If this looks a bit cryptic, don't worry, it's actually pretty simple. Converting this statement into plain English yields:
"The application window is 420 pixels wide by 320 pixels high, with its left border 5 pixels from the display's left edge and its top border 20 pixels from the display's top edge."
Pretty simple, eh? There are actually only a couple of rules to keep in mind when specifying a window's geometry. First, dimensions are generally in terms of pixels, although there are times, notably with xterms and some text editors, in which the width and height dimensions will be in terms of characters. You'll notice in the example .xinitrc file above that the width and height dimensions for the xterm were given as 80x24, or 80 characters wide by 24 columns high. If you bear in mind that your entire display screen is probably 640x480 or 800x600 or 1024x768 pixels, depending on your resolution, you can get a feel for how much of the screen is taken up by an application window that is, say, 400x300 pixels.
The second set of numbers specify the horizontal (x-offset) and vertical (y-offset) distances from the edge of the display screen. Again, this is pretty straightforward: think of the screen in terms of graphing paper in which the upper left hand corner is 0,0 and the values increase as you move from left to right and from top to bottom.
If your screen were 640x480 pixels, your top left corner would be considered 0,0; the bottom left corner would be 0,480 (remember that the vertical position increases as you move from top to bottom); the top right corner would be 640,0; and the bottom right corner would be 640,480. The other thing to keep in mind is that horizontal and vertical positions are generally (but not always, as we'll see in a minute) specified in terms of the left and top sides of the application window.
For example, suppose that you wanted to put an xterm window in the upper left hand side of the screen. You decide that you want it 10 pixels from the left hand side of the display and 50 pixels from the top. You also want the window to be 400 pixels wide by 320 pixels high. Simple enough. You'd use the following geometry option to accomplish this:
-geometry 400x320+10+50
Notice the general form this takes:
-geometry WIDTHxHEIGHT+horizPOS+verticalPOS
Using a plus + sign before the pixel value indicates the position of the window with respect to its left hand or top edges. However, using a minus - sign specifies the opposite meaning: the horizontal position is the distance in pixels between the application window's right hand side and the right side of the display, and the vertical position is the distance in pixels between the application window's bottom edge and the bottom edge of the display.
If this seems a bit confusing try playing with it a bit. Start up fvwm and in an xterm enter the following commands:
xterm -g +5+5 & xterm -g -5-5 & xterm -g -5+5 & xterm -g +5-5 &
Try these out and see where the xterm gets put. Note that you can generally abbreviate -geometry to a simple -g.
We've wandered a bit from our discussion about launching programs at startup. In practical terms, figuring out the correct geometry for all of the applications you want to have started is pretty easy. The first step is to get pencil and paper ready because you'll want to jot some notes.
Customizing the start-up desktop usually begins by starting all of the applications that you want present when fvwm begins. Try out various command line options to get the look and feel that you want. Reading a program's manual page often helps you determine what options are available at run time. Once you get an application running, you can generally resize it by clicking the mouse on one of the "L" shaped window corners and dragging it to a larger or smaller size. Clicking and dragging on the titlebar or side borders lets you position the window.
Once you have everything started, positioned, and sized the way you want it, jot down each application and the command line options, if any, that you used. To get each window's geometry, we'll use a great little program called xwininfo.
Start it from an xterm by entering:
$ xwininfo
at the command prompt. Notice that you don't use an ampersand for this command. Your mouse cursor will change to a cross-hair and the following instructions will be displayed:
xwininfo: Please select the window about which you would like information by clicking the mouse in that window.
Clicking on an application window produces the output like the following:
xwininfo: Window id: 0x2c00007 "ez ~/fvwm_LJ.ez*" Absolute upper-left X: 92 Absolute upper-left Y: 28 Relative upper-left X: 0 Relative upper-left Y: 0 Width: 528 Height: 724 Depth: 8 Visual Class: PseudoColor Border width: 0 Class: InputOutput Colormap: 0x21 (installed) Bit Gravity State: ForgetGravity Window Gravity State: NorthWestGravity Backing Store State: WhenMapped Save Under State: no Map State: IsViewable Override Redirect State: no Corners: +92+28 -532+28 -532-148 +92-148 -geometry 528x724+85+0
In this instance, I clicked on the EZ editor's window, which produced a veritable cornucopia of information. Specifically, the geometry setting that you were looking for is in the last line. Do this for all the applications that you want started, and your work is pretty much done. Find the section in .fvwmrc that defines the InitFunction, add or modify the entries so as to start the applications that you want—don't forget to put that ampersand at the end of each Exec line!—and you should be all set. Once you've gotten things the way you want them, don't forget to make a backup of your newly modified .fvwmrc file.
One more thing before we leave the subject of launching programs at start up. fvwm comes with a number of modules, which are separate programs which must be spawned by fvwm—you can't start these from a command line. There are a number of modules which can generally be found in the /usr/lib/X11/fvwm directory. A couple of the more common modules to launch at start up include FvwmBanner, which places a decorative banner across the root window; FvwmPager, which serves as a virtual desktop manager when you have multiple desktops going; and the GoodStuff button bar. The entry in InitFunction to start an fvwm module is a bit different than a regular application in that it is simpler:
Module "I" GoodStuff Module "I" fvwmPager 0 3
You'll notice that there's no Exec or Wait statement needed. Simply use the reserved word Module, followed by "I" and then the name of the module to launch with any options.
That wasn't too bad, was it? This should give you the basics that let you customize your startup desktop. Next month, I'll cover launching programs once fvwm has started—and more!

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Laura-Marie's zine reviews
zine reviews!
Tuesday, October 14, 2014
Gupter Puncher #16
This is a zine from Hong Kong. It's good and made me uncomfortable. I didn't like the violence, but I liked the video game nostalgia. I initially flipped through it and felt worried about all the words--there are pictures too, for sure, but lots of words. But they go down easily.
I missed a lot of the pop culture references, but I got a lot of them too.
I like the tone and humor and readability. But these people would never in a million years be friends with me.
Overall it's very unbalanced--almost entirely boy--but fun to read and super well done. It totally does what it sets out to do. Its project is kind of strange.
I liked the intro and I liked the first piece best about being a Mega Man. I had never read anything quite like it.
So if you have video game nostalgia and are probably a guy in your late 30s, this may be the perfect zine for you.
Thursday, September 11, 2014
This is a new zine by Jason Martin. It's about musicians and music. The comix are sweet, poignant vignettes with simple, beautiful drawings.
I have a soft spot in my heart for the work of Jason Martin. I collect all his zines and even his book Driftwood City. I try not to be a hoarder, but his work is that good.

The Best Friend I Never Met and Chorus Lines
Yesterday I got a packet from England.
It contained two zines, and I read both just now.
The Best Friend I Never Met took my
breath away. I have had friendships so intense and full of poetry.
I've had best friends like that too. I felt very sad about endings
and blown away by the beauty of the writing, all those feelings, and
so much physical distance with emotional intimacy.
It made me think of two best friends I
have now, both who live far away, and one day will they be a memory?
I like the white space. I wouldn't
have done it that way--I would have included tons. I probably would
have overwhelmed the reader. But this is done so I'm left hungry for
more, which is good.
The haiku zine Chorus Lines is
beautiful to behold. I like the pictures of people on the cover,
made in red. I like the poems and their immediacy. My favorite is
about a baby. Always emotional but never overdone.
I love these zines--you should buy
Miz Issue #1
This is a mental health zine about living with bad depression and anxiety. The first half is about struggling and shows a progression through time. Miz tries different medications and gives updates, talks about her relationship with her husband, talks about trying to help herself.
The second half is more theoretical and talks about oppression. Miz quotes scholarly texts and talks about grad school.
I loved this zine, both halves. And I forgot to mention the expressive, beautiful, and strange drawings throughout. They add a lot. I wish I made zines more like this.
I would like to give you an example of the intelligence of this zine. I am upset about people talking shit about self-care. I've heard a lot of that lately, and I am in opposition.
But Miz's analysis made me see the other side more clearly. I would like to quote an important passage.
"but i also feel like the implication is that there is something wrong with me and with what i have been doing that is causing all my problems. as if my depression has just arisen from me not taking care of myself my whole life. i am missing something else though, a part of this puzzle of getting better, another piece of understanding that would let me connect with people over these issues or situate my experience within a broader social context. i hate feeling as though my problems are entirely my own doing and that it's my personal responsibility to transform myself into the right kind of person."
I find this passage brilliant and giving voice to something very important.
And the whole zine's like this.
Highly recommended for all fans of mental health zines and everyone who likes insight.

The Daily Compulsion #5
The Daily Compulsion #5 by Nathan Rice is comix mostly about alcohol and its effects. It's also somewhat about relationship pain and AA.
I like the autobiographical-ness and the candor. It's interesting to learn about Rice's life. It's also sad. There's some humor here, like with the Alcoholic Anarchists Anonymous poster, but it's mostly sad.
This zine gives me a sense of gratefulness that I don't have the types of problems the zine displays. I think it would be perfect for other people who struggle with alcohol addiction to feel like they're not alone.
Rice handles these issues with skill, and I wish him all success in both the zine world and the larger world.

Minimal Comics Volume One
Today I was excited to receive a package from Japan in the mail. It was very pleasing to see, tied with twine, with its beautiful Japanese stamps, the SMALL PACKET sticker. And I was excited to know it was something for review.
I was a little worried about doing this review. I had a problem with some abstract comix a few months ago. Would this be the same?
Graeme McNee sent a cute note along with the book Minimal Comics Volume One. It has a smiling cloud and a hill with the very clear handwriting.
It's all so beautiful I almost didn't want to touch it. Is there such a thing as too beautiful?
I slipped the book out of its protective plastic sleeve and began to read. Each comic is a page long, just three panels. Each comic has a short title at the beginning. The short titles are simple.
The drawings are simple too. The ideas are simple yet funny. Some show an object as it progresses through time, and some are more complicated.
One that stands out to me is called ray gun. The first panel shows a ray gun. The second panel shows the ray gun shooting a ray through the frame. The third panel shows the ray gun just like the first panel, only there's a hole burned through the frame where the ray went. It's subtle and funny and fun.
These comics are very cute. But they are not naive or simpleminded. They are charming.
My favorite one is called mt fuji. I actually said, "Aw!" out loud. I had never seen such a cute mountain in my life.
McNee has included some postcards and a DIY comic for the reader to complete and submit for future publication.
I really like this book and hope McNee finds wild success.

I Am My Own Stereotype
I Am My Own Stereotype by Delaine Derry Green is a book of diary comix that come from the zine My Small Diary. They are full of energy and life. They're not daily journal comix--they span longer periods of time.
So much of whether autobiography is enjoyable depends on the personality of the creator. It's like friend chemistry. So let me tell you about Delaine. She's in some ways the opposite of me, yet I like her very much and in some ways envy her.
Delaine is energetic, fun, and socializes a lot. She enjoys drinking with friends and sometimes gambling. She enjoys large parties like Mardi Gras. She has close friends who she sees a lot and is a well-loved employee, often getting raises. She also likes cheese and collects PEZ dispensers. She's lucky, winning contests. She travels and attends rock concerts. Sometimes she talks about her unusual dreams. Overall, she's not afraid to talk about herself a lot, which makes sense seeing as this is diary comix.
In addition to the evocative and charming drawings, Delaine has a way with words and an eye for what's truly interesting. It's real life, but what of real life she chooses to share with us tells a story. The details are sometimes amazing and almost unbelievable.
As I began to read I Am My Own Stereotype, I felt suddenly dropped into a frenetic world. The more I read, the more accustomed to this world I became until I was mostly comfortable in it.
This book is a great addition to any comix bookshelf, and if you like diary comix and enjoy upbeat people, it will be perfect for you.

Gold Rush sign six more for 2014-15 recruiting class
Chris Adams
Malik Harrison
Langston Adams
Erwin Simmons
Devante Bailey
Alex Xavier
July 23, 2014
NEW ORLEANS — Coach Joseph Moses on Wednesday announced six more signings to Xavier University of Louisiana's men's track and field recruiting class. Newcomers signed to scholarships for the 2014-15 academic year were:
• Chris Adams, a hurdler from Richardson, Texas, and Bishop Lynch High School in Dallas.
• Langston Adams, a long sprinter from Baton Rouge, La., and Christian Life Academy.
• Devante Bailey, a long sprinter from Baton Rouge and Southern Lab High School.
• Malik Harrison, a horizontal jumper from Baton Rouge and Christian Life.
• Erwin Simmons, a hurdler from St. James, La., and St. James High School.
• Alex Xavier, a hurdler and sprinter from Naples, Fla., and Golden Gate High School and a transfer from Warner (Fla.) University.
Bailey, Harrison and Simmons will be freshmen at Xavier. Chris Adams and Langston Adams, who
are not related, will be sophomores — they were biology/pre-medical majors at XU in 2013-14 — and Xavier will be a junior. Bailey will major in business marketing, Harrison will be a chemistry/pre-pharmacy major, and Simmons will be part of XU's dual-degree engineering program, studying physics and mechanical engineering.
Chris Adams finished third in the 110-meter hurdles in Class 5A at the 2013 Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools state meet. His best times are 14.9 seconds for the 110 hurdles and 40.8 for the 300 hurdles. He was a standout in basketball, averaging 16 points per game as a senior with a high game of 27 points. At Xavier he was runner-up in the voting for Mr. Freshman.
Langston Adams was a member of Christian Life's 400 relay team which placed fourth at the 2013 Class 1A state meet. He also was a regional qualifier in the long jump. Adams was first-team all-district as a football middle linebacker his senior year and made the second team as a junior.
Bailey was a member of Southern Lab's 800 and 1,600 relay teams which finished first at the 1A state meet this year, and he was a member of the Kittens' state runner-up 400 relay team. He helped Southern Lab finish second at state in the 1,600 relay in 2012, and he was a starter in basketball as a junior and a senior.
Harrison was a district champion this year in the triple jump for Christian Life. His best marks were 43 feet, 11 inches in the triple jump and 19-6 in the long jump. As a senior in football, he accounted for 1,623 all-purpose yards and 20 touchdowns in 10 regular-season games.
Simmons was a district champion in the 110 hurdles this year and helped St. James finish second in the district meet. His best time in the 110 hurdles was 15.32. He was voted his team's track MVP in 2014 and was the track MVP at Lutcher's Bulldog Invitational after winning the 110 and 300 hurdles and anchoring the winning 800 relay squad.
Xavier, a native of Haiti, placed 14th for Warner in the 110 hurdles at the 2013 NAIA National Outdoor Championships and was a two-time athlete of the week in The Sun Conference that year. This past season he was The Sun's 110 hurdles champion and was fifth in the 400 hurdles. His best time in the 110 hurdles is 14.46.
The previously announced Gold Rush signee was Joseph Moses III, a sprinter from Baton Rouge.
The Xavier Gold Rush and Gold Nuggets compete in Division I of the
(National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) as a member of the
Gulf Coast Athletic Conference
(GCAC). Xavier fields men's teams in basketball, cross country, tennis and track and field and women's teams in basketball, cross country, tennis, track and field and volleyball.

Istanbul suicide attack highlights Turkey's struggle with militant groups
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the Istanbul suicide attack in the heart of the city, which injured 17 civilians and 15 police, Sunday.
Istanbul, Turkey
A suicide bomber targeted Turkish police in the heart of Istanbul on Sunday, killing himself, injuring 32, and prompting police gunfire.
Chaos erupted midmorning in Taksim Square, the popular shopping and pedestrian center of Turkey's economic capital, when a male suicide bomber detonated plastic explosives while attempting to board a bus full of riot policemen, authorities here said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, though a unilateral cease-fire declared by Kurdish PKK rebels 2-½ months ago was set to expire on Sunday. Turkey is also home to an array of small non-Kurdish militant groups, from those on the far left to right-wing nationalists to Islamists.
Authorities suggested that they had clear suspicions about which group was responsible, and why, but would not be immediately drawn out on who was to blame.
RELATED: 7 most controversial UN speeches, from Ahmadinejad to Khrushchev
"Those who threaten Turkey's peace, security, and development will not be tolerated," said Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a former mayor of Istanbul, in a speech in Mardin, in the mostly Kurdish southeast. "These kinds of attacks will not stop Turkey reaching its goals of peace, brotherhood, and development. We are together; we are brothers."
Which group carried out the attack?
Istanbul's Governor Avni Mutlu said a "terrorist organization" was behind the attack, but gave no further details about who was responsible.

Nakao Says Japan Should Be Prepared to Act on Yen If Needed
May 21 (Bloomberg) -- Japan is facing challenges from volatility in currency markets and should be prepared to take steps to halt the rise of the yen, the nation's top currency official said.
"We are still facing challenges from a very volatile exchange-rate market," Takehiko Nakao, vice finance minister for international affairs, said at an event in Tokyo today. "There has been an appreciation of the yen" he said. "It was a kind of jump. I think this a very speculative excessive movement. We are now closely monitoring it and we should take action if necessary."
The Japanese currency has strengthened more than 5 percent against the dollar in the past two months. Nakao's comments came after Finance Minister Jun Azumi hinted at potential intervention on the currency market on May 18, saying he's ready to take "appropriate action" if necessary.
The yen weakened today amid speculation the Bank of Japan will add to stimulus measures this week to support growth and weaken the currency. It fell 0.4 percent to 79.35 per dollar as of 10:51 a.m. in London.
BOJ officials will gather for a two-day meeting starting tomorrow. The central bank expanded its asset-purchase program in February and April. Last week, two bond-buying operations failed to attract the central bank's target for sell offers.

While many senior communities "bundle" their services with their monthly rates, we believe that our residents should "see what they are paying for". By offering a la' carte style services, our residents are able to choose the services they need, when they need them. Both personal and health related services are offered to our residents to help them stay as independent as possible, for as long as possible.
Our vision places the needs of the residents as our main priority. By offering choice, maintaining dignity and promoting independence to our residents, Windmill Ponds is a great place to call home.
Comfortable Living
Our residents at Windmill Ponds continue to enjoy life! You'll enjoy planned activities daily, including exercises. You may also enjoy visiting in the beautiful Grand Fireplace Room or one of the many common areas located throughout the community. You may also enjoy the outdoor patio area or walking around in our beautiful garden area. Email or just surf the internet from our computer center.
Apartment Features
Apartments at Windmill Ponds were designed with our residents in mind and help keep them as independent as possible, for as long as possible. Offering one and two bedroom, private apartments that include: a full kitchen, private bathroom with low-step showers, our residents find everything they need to help with the "little things". We even went as far as raising the outlets throughout the apartment so residents wouldn't need to bend over as far as they would in a normal home to use the outlets. We've also included an emergency response system so when a resident needs to contact a care provider, they can, right at their fingertips! All utilities (except telephone) are included with the monthly rent which includes: heat and electricity.
Community Features
Windmill Ponds was created especially for our residents, offering relaxation and peace of mind that can only come from living in a community designed to be responsive to changing needs over time. Our residents are encouraged to continue the lifestyle that they are now accustomed to. For a moment, picture living in a community that where meeting friends for coffee is only an elevator ride away...a computer/library where emailing the grandchildren is just down the hall...or has a beauty salon or barber shop around the corner...visiting with friends in the Grand Fireplace Room or listening to a piano recital in the main lobby...or an organized workout program mere paces away. A world of intelligent and interesting people are right outside the front door!
An elevator is centrally located making it easier to get around and utilize all floors of the community.

Answer Lies in Preventing the Unraveling...
Better Protein Quantification Can Produce More...
A Fast-Moving and Evolving Space
Findings from the National Faculty Study
(Page 2 of 3)
Terrence Chew, M.D.
Biomedical companies, especially start-ups new to or unfamiliar with the FDA environment, that are developing a new drug/device combination or a nutritional product may enter a clinical trial unaware of regulatory requirements or may feel their company is too small to be subject to the usual requirements. This is not true—FDA maintains a single set of standards to which all companies, regardless of size, must adhere.
In order to ensure clinical trial compliance, the FDA has an ongoing bioresearch-monitoring program that includes inspections designed to evaluate the conduct of research and to ensure that the rights, safety, and welfare of the human subjects have been protected. FDA periodically publishes findings of inspections, which is a great resource to assess potential investigative sites or pharmaceutical partners.
A recent inspection of a small pharmaceutical company revealed that the company had failed to submit an IND for the conduct of a clinical investigation with an investigational new drug. In addition, it failed to obtain necessary documentation to ensure compliance with the clinical protocol and subject protection such as a Statement of investigator that includes a commitment from the investigator to comply with the protocol, personally oversee the investigation, meet informed consent requirements, ensure that IRB review and approval requirements are addressed, and disclose financial information.
In addition, the sponsor did not maintain adequate records regarding investigational drug disposition and did not monitor the progress of the trial with a qualified monitor. All of the above are required by law and relevant FDA guidelines. Companies often feel that they are exempt from these regulations as they are not developing a new drug or they are just conducting pilot studies to make decisions.
Common clinical investigator compliance issues include failure of the investigators to conduct the study in compliance with the protocol and signed investigator plans. In addition, investigators may incorrectly feel that they can modify the protocol for specific patients, which is different from the protocol's standard of care. FDA inspectors compare the protocol inclusion and exclusion criteria versus the patient records to look for such violations.
Although, investigators may ask the sponsor for an exemption—these must be considered carefully to determine their impact on the study results and statistics. FDA may examine the quality of the informed consent for adequacy in terms of explaining risk, and to ensure that informed consent was obtained prior to the patient being treated on the protocol. FDA may also audit IRB adherence to its own rules and regulations.
Companies that sponsor clinical trials are responsible for the compliance of their investigators. Since many trials are being performed outside the U.S., companies must ensure that investigators are properly trained equivalent to U.S. medical standards of practices and monitored to maintain compliance.
Although costs may be less in certain ex-U.S. regions, this must be balanced by the increased cost of properly monitoring distant sites. There are many valid reasons to conduct trials outside of the U.S., but sponsor companies must be sure that the lower cost is not due to lower quality, especially since EMEA and FDA have increased the inspection of non-U.S. pivotal studies.

It will be based on the same out of the box concept as the "Core". I am sorry it had no concept...>< But in defense of the writers and producers they actual use bacteria to eat away petro based products, in hazmat cleanup. Still probably not a good movie concept though.
If it only came topless........
Del Toro will do this remake justice. Lets hope all the others do thier part. He was awesome in Sin City and Way of the Gun.
This movie sounds worthy of seeing. Hey has anybody heard when they are going to release night watch, the russian made movie?
Coldhardtruth, clark, whatgives, and the other gay dislikers will be burning right along with the gays. Because sex in the bible is alonely to be used for reprodcution.( Here comes a debate of the morally correct) So dont worry I will be at the front of the line, because sex is for pleasure. So all wannabee waterwalkers get off your soap boxxes and just live your life the way you want too and dont tell what to think of someone or how to act. God will pass judgement not any of you. PS: Greg and Kurt I liked your posts and there was a few others that actually had something to say other then hatred. An yes I am a firm believer that all men desire to have the pleasure of 2 women. According to the few gay people I know they say sex is mostly oral, kissing, and such, that anal is not as frequent as most people think. Lesibian is oral and toys, so it just more fuel for the fire. Whatgives,coldhardtruth alot of republicians don't share your views, we just like are money and guns. So unfornately we have to deal with the extremists in are party and play nice with you to your face:)
I am lookin forward to more of his works. Hope X3 rocks and they do the wolverine movie they are talkin about. I look forward to the wonderful postings of the season finally of nBSG........because she's a Frackin Cyclon.......
I will hold all opinions till see the final product I liked the first and second, so hopin the third will be even better.
pier......oops my bad.
I agree with you. See here is per pressure at work.......lol. I am going to miss chef. I guess it takes longer for some to see the light of thier evil doings.
Man this thread is bad............. It good to see people standing up for what they believe in. Just remember sex has around longer then any being on this planet(since so many of us are using animals references in this thread). I agree with so many of you on this thread that a woman is the only thing that gets me excited. But we do not wanna see the gay lifestyle paraded around us as the way so many people of gay community do, sorry the parades really make your community look stupid. Hetros don't have parades that i know of we have sex clubs:).( I am sure u do too). But all things being equal God created man and woman. He also created the devil and all things that we deem as evil,as what we are discussing homosexuals verus hetrosexuals. So do not blame each other, media, or any other outlet of influnence, just blame the man upstairs. Sorry but I really get sick of listening to people telling me to follow the rules and beliefs of a book that is over 2000 years old that was one religion and it now has what 100 more spinoffs each claiming they are better then the other. See that is were the hatred starts and just keeps going. Basically everybody shut the fuckup no one is any better then anyone else on the planet. PS: Lets go back to talking about movies and such and not lifestyles that is what this site is for.....

Dayton Flyers (2-1)
@7 Villanova Wildcats (4-0)
Friday, November 20
Puerto Rico Tip-Off - Coliseo de Puerto Rico, San Juan, PR
Attendance: None
7 Villanova
San Juan, PR (Sports Network) - Corey Fisher led all scorers with 18 points, as fifth-ranked Villanova held off 18th-ranked Dayton, 71-65, in the second round of the Puerto Rico Tip-Off.
Taylor King added 14 points off the bench, hitting on 4-of-8 three-point attempts, and also grabbed nine boards. Antonio Pena chipped in 13 points and seven rebounds for Villanova (4-0), which edged George Mason, 69-68, in first-round action on Thursday. Scottie Reynolds ended with eight points and five assists in the victory.
Luke Fabrizius had 16 points and nine rebounds in a reserve role for Dayton (2-1), which edged 21st-ranked Georgia Tech, 63-59, on Thursday. Chris Wright netted 15 points and Chris Johnson ended with 13 points and five boards.
"It's a young season but that is the best we have played in four games," Villanova head coach Jay Wright said. "That's a terrific team - smart, experienced and tough. (Luke) Fabrizius was incredible. I thought our upperclassmen really showed some leadership down the stretch when they made their run at us."
Villanova led 37-29 after the opening 20 minutes, then saw its lead stretch to 54-36 after King drained a three-pointer with just over 14 minutes to play. The Wildcats maintained a double-digit advantage until Mickey Perry hit a jumper to spark a 12-2 Dayton run, making it a 58-54 game with a shade over six minutes remaining.
London Warren's two free throws got the Flyers within 62-60 near the 2 1/2 minute mark. Fisher then made two from the line on Villanova's next possession, but Wright's dunk again drew Dayton within two.
But the Flyers got no closer, as Pena, King and Fisher each sank a pair of from the stripe to make it a 70-62 contest with half a minute left on the clock.
"We lost to a really good team today that is only going to get better during the year...well-coached, well-schooled... as good of guard play as there probably is in the country that can just kind of control the ebbs and flows of a normal game," Dayton head coach Brian Gregory said.
The Wildcats held an advantage for most of the opening 20 minutes, though Marcus Johnson made 1-of-2 from the free-throw line to bring Dayton within 27-25 with 4 1/2 minutes remaining.
But Villanova responded with a three-point play by Fisher and closed the half on a 10-4 run.

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Great to see work going on at park
It is so wonderful to see construction underway at the new Clara Hughes Recreational Park.
I would like to thank the residents of the area for their patience. From what I can see the Clara Hughes site is going to be a fantastic addition to the area which will allow people of all ages to enjoy the playground, the skateboard pad and trails.
The MLA for Elmwood, Jim Malloway, and I are working with the Bronx Park executive to find additional monies for renovating and expanding the existing dressing rooms so that we can have meeting space and a canteen. This will allow the community a convenient and safe place for meetings and activities. We hope to make a positive announcement very shortly.
With summer finally here, it is a great time to enjoy backyard barbecuing and attending community events.
I have supported a number of events, through my Community Representation Allowance (CRA), to help offset some of the costs of treats and rides for the kids. As I am at the community events, I am always surprised to hear that some residents believe I live in Tuxedo.
I would like to set the record straight and let the people of Elmwood – East Kildonan know that I live right in the ward. I think it is important that a councillor lives in the area they represent so that they can be connected to the issues, and concerns of the people of the area.
I take my job as councillor for the area very seriously and I have been very busy trying to make sure our priorities are voiced at City Hall. I have made sure that the decision makers in the administration do not neglect us and that they give us our fair share. Area residents should also be aware that the job of a councillor is more than a full-time job, and I have no other job than representing this area to the best of my ability.
I have also been in contact with a number of community groups and organizations about increasing the recreational opportunities in the area. Although the Clara Hughes site is nearing completion and the East Elmwood Community Centre is slated for construction in 2014, there are a number of projects that will likely be heard at the July meeting of East/ Kildonan/Transcona for approval and construction during the summer months.
As we get ready for summer I hope you have a safe and happy holiday and look forward to meeting in the community throughout the summer.

11 San Diego St. Aztecs (16-0)
@TCU Horned Frogs (9-7)
Wednesday, January 05
Daniel-Meyer Coliseum
Attendance: 4,287
11 San Diego St.
Fort Worth, TX (Sports Network) - Malcolm Thomas scored 18 points on 8-of-10 shooting to help No. 6 San Diego State stay undefeated with a 66-53 road win over TCU in the Mountain West Conference opener for both programs.
Thomas coupled his efficient night from the floor with 10 rebounds, and Kawhi Leonard also posted a double-double with 14 points and 11 boards for the Aztecs (16-0, 1-0 MWC), who continue to steamroll the competition en route to the best start in school history.
Garlon Green netted 13 points and Nikola Cerina added 12 for the Horned Frogs (9-7, 0-1), who had won seven games at home this season by an average of 19 points.
San Diego State, one of seven remaining unbeaten teams in the country, made just 3-of-13 from behind the arc in the first half and led by only three, 29-26, at the break.
"I think we got frustrated that our shots weren't going in the first half," SDSU head coach Steve Fisher said. "Fortunately, we were able to adjust and come back and get the win."
The Aztecs continued to struggle from long distance in the final 20 minutes, but dominated on the inside during a 13-0 run early on that put the game out of reach.
Thomas started the stretch with a dunk, then forced a turnover on the next possession that led to a Leonard slam.
Thomas and Leonard combined for 11 points on the flurry, which Chase Tapley finished with another dunk off a steal for a commanding 49-31 cushion with 14 minutes to play.
"They took it right to us," TCU head coach Jim Christian said of the second half spurt. "We turned the ball over. If you allow them to get open-floor turnovers, you're in trouble and that's exactly what happened."
The margin was double digits the rest of the way.

"We have something to show at Fish's house." Said Pablo. "What is it?" Petunia asked out of curiosity.That question made Giggles and Flaky wonder why they didn't ask that question. In-fact they felt a little embarrassed for not asking. "We'll show you when we get there." Said Edward. "Fare enough." Said Toothy. And so Toothy and Petunia got off the swing set and followed the four Tree Friends to Fish's house.Meanwhile in Fish's house, Sniffles and Cuddles were waiting anxiously for Pablo, Edward and the others to return, while Fish was disinfecting his house. There was a knock on the door. Fish opened the door. When he did he saw Pablo, Edward and the others. "It's about time you got here!" Said Fish.Pablo and Edward escorted the Giggles, Petunia, Flaky and Toothy inside. The nine Tree Friends walked over to the door to Fish

Aggregate demand (AD) is the summation of all demand within a given economy at a given time.
There are four inputs to consider in calculating AD (and deriving the graphical curve which represents it): consumption (C), investment (I), government spending (G), and net exports (NX, which is exports (X) – imports (I)). Changes in these inputs will have some influence on the AD curve. For example, an increase in total expenditures will result in a shift rightwards, while a decrease in expenditure will result in a shift to the left.
Aggregate Demand Curves
Two specific AD representations are useful to consider:
- Keynesian Cross: The Keynesian Cross is a simple illustration of the relationship between aggregate demand and desired total spending (linear at 45 degrees). The intersecting AD line will generally have an upwards slope, under the assumption that increased national output should result in increased disposable income.
- Aggregate Demand/Aggregate Supply Model (AD/AS):The x-axis represents the overall output, while the y-axis represents the price level. The aggregate quantity demanded (Y = C + I + G + NX) is calculated at every given aggregate average price level.
Exogenous Effects
There are a variety of direct and indirect consequences to AD shifts. For the purpose of this discussion, the key consequences to keep in mind are changes in output and price. Below are some of the driving forces that will shift aggregate demand to the right:
- An exogenous increase in consumer spending;
- An exogenous increase in investment spending on physical capital;
- An exogenous increase in intended inventory investment;
- An exogenous increase in government spending on goods and services;
- An exogenous increase in transfer payments from the government to the people;
- An exogenous decrease in taxes levied;
- An exogenous increase in purchases of the country's exports by people in other countries; and
- An exogenous decrease in imports from other countries.
Short-term Implications
As noted above, any increase in the overall AD will result in an outwards (right-ward) shift of the AD curve. (Conversely, a decrease in aggregate demand will cause a leftward shift of the AD curve. ) This means that an increase in any of the four inputs to AD will result in a higher quantity of real output or an increase in prices across the board (this is also known as inflation). However, different levels of economic activity will result in different combinations of output and price increases.
is useful for understanding the distribution between price increases and output increases that will result in a given economy when AD increases. To put simply, the lower the utilization of available resources in a system, the more an increase in AD will result in higher output and thus higher employment and GDP growth. However, as the system evolves and aligns itself closer to the highest potential output (optimal utilization of resources or Y*), scarcity will naturally cause the prices to increase more than the overall output in a system. This is somewhat intuitive economically when scarcity and utilization are taken into account. The more difficult it is to generate a supply increase the more likely a shift in AD will drive up prices.

Grassroots Garden Visit
Last week our Plants class visited Grassroots Garden, a local non-profit here in Eugene that grows food for the needy. We did some volunteer work that morning planting carrots in the morning sunshine and learning some interesting things about soil amendments. The garden itself is humming right now, making my own backyard look a little… Read more »

"Very pretty thank-you notes on textured paper give the card a watercolor feel. I ordered these to use as thank-you notes for shower gifts and I'm very pleased with them - would definitely reorder!"
"Love the foil and the paper is thick and high quality. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a beautiful embossed foil look! Note that they print their logo on the back. Prompt postage to Sydney Australia."
"Look great, affordable and convenient. Got them way before the wedding, quick delivery. We used the whole package, so it was perfect."
"I was going for something very sweet, classic and simply beautiful. This card lived up to my requirements and so happy when I received it. I chose the gold foil on blush colored paper with my name at the bottom. I kept the back simple with no pattern/photo/text on it and the corners were cut out. Even with these minimal designs, the card is absolutely lovely."
"Even though I could have gotten thank you cards cheaper I wanted them to match everything else. I plan on only getting married once so why not splurge in a few areas."

Martinez exit disappoints Jenkins
Chairman Huw Jenkins says the lure of the Premier League was too much for Swansea City manager Roberto Martinez to turn down. Martinez is set to complete his move to take over as Wigan boss on a three-year deal on Wednesday. But Jenkins told BBC Sport Wales he was "bitterly disappointed" by the Spaniard's imminent departure. "He wanted to take up the opportunity of testing himself against what the Premier League had to offer," he said. "That's what he based his decision on in the .... read more

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I want to make some buttons with some cheeky type comments on them. Things like:
When in doubt, use Caslon
Since this forum is cheek central I was hoping to get some intelligent discourse about Comic Sans and Dr.Who and Neville Brody's luscious locks.
Make a Comic Serif button. Or maybe a button for the more experienced typographers along the lines of "I was using ITC Anaa when Neville Brody had hair."
"Hellwicha" in Helvetica of course >^p
A few to get you started...
Dr Who… "EX-TER-MI-FONT!"
Brody's decline… "Brody Bald Expanded"
Spiekermann on MS… "Bully, Bastard, Baddies" set in Arial
Comic Sans and BSG… "FRAK!" set in CS of course
On Typophile "Berlow, the Yoda of fonts you say?"
From Chris Lozos' pun: "Carsonogenic Design". Should be visually layered to near illegibility.
I thought FRAK! would be more appropriate in Bank Gothic?
How about Calvin peeing on a lowercase Arial a in vinyl for those of us with pickup trucks. (Is this a thing outside of the south?)
>Is this a thing outside of the south?)
Maybe post an image, on second thought...
yes, i've seen it all over NorCal with everything from "La Migra" to sports teams.
http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=calvin%20pissing&w=all or
i think this one wins tho:
Mark Simonson's famous commentary on the font business as game show...
"Who wants to be a thousandaire?"
Is this a thing outside of the south?
Only where there are lots of frat boys.
"Stop stealing sheep.", "I would steal sheep.", or "I steal sheep." in letterspaced blackletter. I like "I steal sheep." best of those three.
I want to make one of these buttons now.
Born to Kern!
Personal Art and Design Portal of Ivan Gulkov
Will Kern for Food
Fibonacci Was Here
IDK if ^ is funny or not?
Born to Kem!
For the screening of Helvetica, We did a series of Buttons that just said "Helvetica" in various script fonts.
When I was an ad type director, I had a big sign in my cube:
I made up a bunch of square magnets with keyboarding tips.
One of them just said, "Option + shift+ right bracket" since people kept asking me how to get true qoute marks.
Also: "Improve your typography by degrees: option + shift + 8"
I had a bunch of other ones, but I can't remember them now and I nuked the file. Damn.
the road to helvetica is paved with good intentions.
This is more cheesy than cheeky, but what the hey...
I still have a bucketload of those! FontFont also had a bunch, if I remember. Actually, I think EVERYONE had pins with goofy font sayings on them.
@dan: Goofy? I wear those pins in public now!
James, I think Russell has a newer version of iBadge than you.
I'm not saying that I don't have a "My quotes are well hung" or "May the font be with you" pin that I wear. But that doesn't make them not goofy. In fact...
How about "I'm with Comic Sans -->"
Are you being bold?
Does this font make my 'A's look big?
If you can identify this font,
you're standing too close.
(they just get lamer as it gets later)
How's my Kerning?
It's been done before, but...
Helvetica (set in Arial)
FontShop had a couple of great t-shirts at the San Francisco TypeCon...
One said "Your Type;" the other said "Semi Bold."
These are all film title flavoured puns I made up years ago and have been using ever since. You can use them Haley :^) Make some buttons and send me one of "Helvetica hath..." done in Akzidenz Grotesk!
Helvetica hath no fury --- like a woman scorned
Die Dieresis Die!
Don't Raise that Crossbar, Lower the Hyphen
Oh Brother, Where Art Downer?
Postscript Always Renders Twice
Throw Commaa from the Train
I'm a Victim of Circumflex
j a m e s
You could set certain band names in their (not quite) eponymous typefaces, such as Blur or The National.
Bank Gothic written in Frak but I'm the only one who'll think it's funny.
If you have to explain the joke...
Dan, your image reminds me of a Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards album cover:
Is this a thing outside of the south?
It's up here in Alaska with the Texans. My Question is: Is it in Mongolia?
I'll bet the peeing on is universal. Calvin? IDK.
Funny but not funny is how quickly these were replaced by Calvin kneeling at the cross after 9/11. I always wanted to do some Guerrilla work and replace these with a Betty Boop peeing on Calvin. It's just too much urine for anyone's good. How do these things even happen?
i heart futura set in blackletter seems cute.
Are the New Zealand colors intentional?

(Joel Auerbach/Getty Images)Former Florida Atlantic head football coach Carl Pelini said during a radio interview that his firing was unjustified and the result of a new athletic director wanting to hire his own football coach.Pelini went 5-15 over two seasons with the school when he resigned in October after athletic director Pat Chun confronted him and defensive coordinator Pete Rekstis about reports of their alleged illegal drug use."There is nothing I did there that I'm embarrassed about. I'm proud of what we accomplished," Pelini said on KFAB, via the Associated Press.Pelini, who was a former defensive coordinator at Nebraska, denied using drugs and was fired in November after his resignation withdrawal request was granted.Florida Atlantic, now coached by Charlie Partridge, opens the season against Nebraska on Aug. 30.ELLIS: NCAA recommends change to hardship waiver policy"Ultimately, I think it boiled down to an athletic director who didn't hire me," Pelini said. "We were making improvements. He came down there from Ohio State. He was their No. 1 fundraiser and made a lot of promises about money he was going to raise and changes we were going to make facilities-wise. He was not having a lot of success and we were growing as a football program. I think he wanted to hitch his reins to a new horse and get some credit for it and wanted to make a change."

I was doubtful about this remedy in the beginning, but the tea tree oil remedy really works for bacterial vaginosis. The trick is diluting the oil with a carrier oil to avoid irritation. Tea tree oil is a powerful antiseptic and antibacterial but when used undiluted, it will irritate vaginal tissues which are very sensitive. I diluted tea tree oil with olive oil, dipped a tampon in it and inserted it vaginally for several hours a day. It cured me in less than a week.
I don't know if it will work for everyone though because my sister used the same remedy and was not too pleased. She had more luck with eating raw garlic and cleaning the vaginal area with witch hazel.

I bought the dock at the store. All I really use it for though is a bedside dock for my D4 so I can't really speak for how it works with tablets or connected to the computer like they were showing, and that hd "station" or whatever is a totally separate device, I don't have it. Otherwise it's alright, a little annoying mounting and dismounting the phone however since there are two plugs that it has to connect. It's really nice that it has audio out built in though so it connects up to my speakers easily.
Well the "HD dock" Is only $50. It has charging, audio out jack, and hdmi out. The "HD station" is $100, and it has all that plus these special usb hookups for your computer and apparently you can plug flash drives into it.
Do I have to take off my case to use the dock? I had to do that with my Droid2 and it was a hassle. Sent from my DROID4 using DroidForums
The back is adjustable, so as long as you adjust the back with the case on the phone, you can leave the case on while docked. I am using the D4 case that comes in the power and protection case, and I leave the case on while docked.
i have the thicker case with the kick stand inthe back, i had to take out the shim underneath.. works fine except that it does not charge via USB connected to my computer.. i can pull the cable out and put it straight into the phone and it charges fine. in the dock, i get nothing.. i'm also using the cable that came with the phone. what gives?
I found both models on both Amazon and eBay. Still deciding if it's worth it or should if I should just save up for one of the lapdocks.
I still can not find one of these. i have been to about 4 vzw and no one has any. are thay that popular or short on stock? Also is it the same as the Razr Dock?
Darn! By the time I went there it was up to $249. That's still better than Amazon who wants $349 :frown:
Log out and try again. For some folks if you have a corporate account or something the price is not right. Also you have to add it to your cart to see the 150$ price.

Last updated 9/7/14
KANNAPOLIS, N.C. – Two big challenges await Danica Patrick as she looks toward Sunday's STP Gas Booster 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway.
The first and most important challenge is figuring out how to drive the tricky .526-mile paperclip oval that her crew chief Tony Gibson describes as "a tough place for any veteran to go, let alone a rookie." Martinsville opened for business in 1947, two years before NASCAR was formed, and has a history rivaled by few tracks on the circuit. Every NASCAR champion has raced there and the Sprint Cup Series has conducted events at Martinsville twice a year since 1950.
So, given its extensive history, it's a challenge to add something to the history books that isn't already there. But Patrick, driver of the No. 10 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet SS for Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR), will add her name to the record book as she will be the first female driver to qualify and race at Martinsville.
But the primary goal is not just to add her name to the record book in such a way. She's focused on getting experience and learning one of the most challenging tracks on the schedule. At .526 of a mile, Martinsville is the shortest track on the circuit and, from the air, looks like a paperclip as its long straightaways lead into tight, flat turns. The racing there can be described as "give-and-take" with drivers giving some bumps and taking some bumps as 43 cars fight for space on its tight confines.
Patrick and the Go Daddy team prepared for Martinsville by testing last month at "Little Rock," a purpose-built test track in Rockingham, N.C., designed to feature the characteristics of Martinsville. But while the test was productive, Patrick and Gibson know well that the test can only help so much and that there is no replacement for the real Martinsville experience.
That said, part of the "real" Martinsville experience, off the track, is the world famous Martinsville Hot Dog. A popular staple at Martinsville, the hot dog is covered with slaw, chili, fresh onions and a few other secret ingredients, and wrapped in waxed paper. And that brings up the second challenge as Gibson told Patrick it's bad karma to not have a hot dog when racing at the half-mile track. So, in addition to stomaching the tricky track, she also may feel obligated to stomach a Martinsville Hot Dog, something easier said than done for some people.
But as the great Clark Griswold once said: "It's all part of the experience."
DANICA PATRICK, Driver of the No. 10 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet SS for Stewart-Haas Racing:
What are your overall thoughts on Martinsville? "I am actually really excited about Martinsville. I like the little short tracks. They're fun. We're going to be close racing a lot of the time. We went testing out at Little Rock (Rockingham, N.C.) and got a feel for a track like Martinsville. I thought we actually made some really big gains that day. It was fun. Is there time to look down at your water and oil temperatures? No, there's not. I think it will be fun and I had no idea that a woman had not competed at Martinsville (in Sprint Cup), but I guess these are things I'll find out along the way."
You've been to five different tracks this season. Which ones do you feel most comfortable at and which ones are you not so comfortable at? "I feel like it's pretty obvious that Daytona would be my answer to which track makes me feel most comfortable. I think that in Phoenix we were starting to get a little bit closer in the race and we blew the tire. I feel relatively comfortable at short tracks. I think the mile-and-a-half's are, oddly enough, I feel like one of the bigger challenges because, if the car isn't right, there are so many more lanes to race on that the leaders come really fast. You're working at a higher speed and that grip is a premium. We're going to find our good races and bad races and I don't think it's necessarily going to be about what kind of track it is. I think our speedway stuff is really good at this point."
Tony Gibson says its bad karma if you don't eat a world famous Martinsville Hot Dog. Your thoughts? "I would do anything for good karma so, if that involves eating a Martinsville hot dog, then I'll do it. Do I have to eat the whole thing? With the chili and slaw and everything? I'll do my best as that sort of meal is not generally in my everyday diet (laughs), but I look forward to the good karma the Martinsville Hot Dog will bring."
You had the chance to participate in the 135th White House Easter Egg Roll, and you read Dr. Seuss' "Go Dog Go" to a few young children Monday. Talk about that. "It was an amazing experience. It's such an honor to get to go to The White House and I really enjoyed it. I got to read Dr. Seuss' 'Go Dog Go' to the kids and that was a lot of fun. I love kids and they're so much fun to be around, and it's pretty flattering when they tell you that you're their role model or hero. It's really humbling. Go Daddy helped make the trip happen and I can't thank them enough. It was a great time."
TONY GIBSON, Crew chief of the No. 10 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet SS for Stewart-Haas Racing:
What are you overall thoughts on Martinsville? "It's a tough place – it's a tough place for any veteran to go, let alone a rookie. It's going to be a big challenge for her. It's worse than Bristol because you're constantly in traffic and guys are constantly bumping into you and into the side of you. Martinsville will be her biggest challenge, for sure, and the focus will be just on finishing clean and learning as much as she can so we can prepare for the second time she goes to Martinsville in the fall. If she can do that, she'll be in good shape."
You've been racing in the Sprint Cup Series for a long time. Talk about the historic significance of Martinsville. "It's one of those places where there's a lot of history. It's like Darlington, where it's been around forever. It makes or breaks a lot of racecar drivers. When you go into a place like that, you don't want it to be a bad experience. You want to have a positive experience and be part of the history, not part of the negative history. I enjoy going there and racing where some of the greats have raced. It's neat for us that she'll be the first woman to ever race in a Sprint Cup race at Martinsville. It's cool to be part of that history, especially at a place like Martinsville that has been around so long."
Are you going to encourage her to eat a world famous Martinsville Hot Dog when she's at Martinsville? "Heck, yeah. You can't go to Martinsville and not eat a hot dog. That's a big tradition and it's bad karma if you don't have one when you're there."
