State and society in precolonial Vietnam
The rule of Gia Long and his successors until the conquest of Vietnam by France in the late 19th century brought no innovations in the organization of the state, the basic character of which had already been firmly established by the Ly emperors during the 11th century. The Ly rulers had successfully fought the revival of local feudalism, which was rooted in the powers exercised by tribal chiefs before the coming of the Chinese. From the 11th century, Dai Viet remained a centralized kingdom headed by a monarch whose absolute powers were said to derive from a mandate from heaven—one aspect of the thoroughly Confucian character of the Vietnamese state. The Ly rulers, following the Chinese model, established a fixed hierarchy with a ranking system of nine grades for all public officials. Mandarins assigned to civil and military positions were appointed by the emperor and were responsible only to him. All mandarins—those at the very top at the imperial court as well as those in the lowest ranks of the provincial and local administration—were recruited and assigned to one of the nine grades in the official hierarchy in only one way: through civil service examinations taken after years of study. As a rule, only the wealthy could spend the time required for these studies. Nevertheless, except in periods of dynastic decline when offices were sometimes for sale, the road to positions of power was through scholarship, not wealth.
The concept of a division of powers was alien to the precolonial rulers. The emperor, with the help of high court mandarins, was not only the supreme lawmaker and head of all civil and military institutions but also the dispenser of justice in both criminal and civil cases, and he delegated his powers to the hierarchy of mandarins in the provinces and villages. Even public functions of a religious character were the sole prerogative of the emperor and his representatives at the lower levels of the administration. No military caste ever exercised control over the state, no religious hierarchy existed outside the mandarins, and no aristocracy with political influence was allowed to arise. Titles of nobility, bestowed as honours, were not hereditary.
The economic policies of the great Vietnamese dynasties also favoured the maintenance of imperial and mandarin power. Through the 900 years of independence, from the end of Chinese domination until the beginning of French colonial rule, the Vietnamese economy remained almost exclusively agricultural. Artisan and fishing villages existed, and there was some mining; but the mass of people were engaged in the cultivation of rice, and neither domestic nor international trade was systematically promoted. No property-owning middle class of merchants ever threatened the authority of the scholar mandarins, and the rising power of great landowners was periodically diminished through the redistribution of land. Gia Long and his successor, Minh Mang, actually abolished all huge landholdings during the first half of the 19th century. Theoretically, the emperor owned all the land, and it was by imperial decree that the settlers on newly conquered territories received their plots in the villages that sprang up from the Red River delta south to the Mekong delta.
Vietnam's rigid absolutism was limited to a certain extent by the importance given to the family in accordance with the Confucian concept that the family is the basic unit of civilized society; submission to the authority of the family head thus was the foremost moral obligation of every citizen, even more important than obedience to the ruler. The autocratic character of society was also eased slightly by the limited authority granted to the village administration; local affairs were handled by a council of notables elected, as a rule, from the more prosperous or otherwise prominent citizens. Among the duties of these notables were the enforcement of law, the conscription of army and forced-labour recruits, and the assessment of taxes. Next to devotion to family, loyalty to the village was the duty of every Vietnamese.
Western penetration of Vietnam
In 1516 Portuguese adventurers arriving by sea inaugurated the era of Western penetration of Vietnam. They were followed in 1527 by Dominican missionaries, and eight years later a Portuguese port and trading centre were established at Faifo (modern Hoi An), south of present-day Da Nang. More Portuguese missionaries arrived later in the 16th century, and they were followed by other Europeans. The best-known of these was the French Jesuit missionary Alexandre de Rhodes, who completed a transcription of the Vietnamese language into Roman script that later was adopted by modern Vietnamese as their official writing system, Quoc-ngu ("national language").
By the end of the 17th century, however, the two rival Vietnamese domains (under the Nguyen family in the south, and the Trinh family in the north) had lost interest in maintaining relations with European countries; the only window left open to the West was at Faifo, where the Portuguese retained a trading mission. For decades the French had tried without success to retain some influence in the area. Only at the end of the 18th century was a missionary named Pigneau de Béhaine able to restore a French presence by assisting Nguyen Anh in wresting control of Dai Viet from the Tay Sons.
Upon becoming emperor, however, Nguyen Anh (now Gia Long) did not favour Christianity. Under his strongly anti-Western successor, Minh Mang (ruled 1820–41), all French advisers were dismissed, while seven French missionaries and an unknown number of Vietnamese Christians were executed. After 1840 French Roman Catholic interests openly demanded military intervention to prevent the persecution of missionaries. In 1847 the French took reprisals against Vietnam for expelling additional missionaries, but 10 years passed before Paris prepared a military expedition against Vietnam.

... stop the sun was shining, but it was bitterly cold. We were each wearing as many layers as we could without looking quite like Michelin men.
It took about 20 mins to get to the centre of Tours and cost 1.50e each return! Apparently you get 1 hours travel for 1.50. We thought this was for 1 journey.
What a difference a day makes.......
... cold outside.
We have 'done' the Loire valley several times, but cannot remember visiting Tours. Although it is Sunday tomorrow, there is a bus into the city centre, so we have decided to go and have a look around. we are going to stay here for 2 nights and then make a dash for the Channel!
Quick update, there was a little bit of snow today!! I was in English Class and my friend suddenly said "Hannah! Look! It's snowing!" (In French). It was raining and snowing too, it was so pretty because it was gentle and in flurries.

Simplicity: Lecture by Interior Designer Nancy Braithwaite
Celebrated designer Nancy Braithwaite, author of the new book SIMPLICITY, believes that a designer must not merely look—but actually "see" in an educated, principled, and disciplined way. In this talk, Nancy walks step-by-step through her design process, giving attendees a behind-the-scenes look at the fundamental design elements that inform all of her work: architecture, composition, proportion and scale, color, pattern, texture, and craftsmanship. Illustrating her message with photos of gorgeous homes decorated in an array of country, classic and contemporary styles, Nancy will discuss how she achieves her simplicity and will explain why simplicity, when done properly, is actually quite complex. Born and raised in Chicago, Braithwaite launched her career as an industrial designer after receiving her design degree from Michigan State University. Braithwaite's work has graced the pages of numerous national shelter magazines, books, and newspapers, including Veranda, House Beautiful, Elle Décor, Town & Country, and The New York Times.

3 Week Watermelon Growth
This is my first time trying to grow watermelons in a container. Just wondering if anyone knows if the growth I'm showing in the picture is normal for 3 weeks after seeding. Thanks for any and all help.
From seed, to what you show there is very good in 3 weeks. Hopefully you will have a long growing season. probably 10-12 more weeks is needed for a ripe melon. I'm just setting melons now on my latest plant and hoping for the best.
That is the vine. Smaller ones will shoot off of that one, but that will be the main one and you should see flowers in about a week or so. Important to keep an eye out for the female flowers and hand pollinate them as soon as they open. I use a small soft paint brush (like the kind I used to paint models with when I was a kid) to transfer the pollen from the males to the females. The Males and females are easy to recognize. The males are just flowers, but the females are flowers with a little tiny watermelon just below it.

As production of the C6 Corvette winds down, so are many of the delivery options for buyers of the 2013 Corvette. We already knew that the Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green would be suspending public tours of the facility on September 14th. Now we got word that the Buyers Tour and the custom Photo Book options have closed as well.
With the seventh generation of the Chevrolet Corvette just months away, it's a good time to take a look at just what makes a Corvette look like a Corvette.
For example, it's been 60 years since the XP-122 Motorama concept car took the public by storm in 1952, leading to the 1953 debut model, but you can instantly tell it's a Corvette just as much as the latest 2013 427 Collector Edition convertible.
Tom Peters, GM performance vehicle design director, says each generation of Corvette shares some common elements which create a consistent Corvette theme that is expressive, distinctly American, artful, and passionate.
A Corvette dream has turned into a nightmare for an owner of a 1966 Corvette when he found out that his 427 big block had a forged vehicle identification number.
Robert C. Ernst of North Tonawanda, NY found out about the problem after his Corvette was disqualified from a National Corvette Restorers Society judging event in Ontario last summer.
That revelation has led to criminal charges filed against the man who sold him the Corvette with the allegedly false VIN.
Paul Corneau of The Corvette Shop in New York has a really unique 1963 Corvette, or should we call it it a 1963-67?
He built his one-of-a-kind car with parts from three different cars, mostly 1967 body parts, though he did keep the split window from a '63.
Corneau calls it his "Mythical '67 Corvette."
Here's a trivia question for you: Has there ever been a Corvette made of anything but fiberglass?
If you knew the answer is yes, then you probably know the story behind the 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Rondine, a rare prototype that was commissioned by the Italian coachbuilder Pininfarina – and was made of steel!
How can you not pull for a company based in a place called Horse Cave, Kentucky?
Kentucky Chrome Works, which has been operating in that city since 2009, is the exclusive chrome plate wheel supplier for the Chevrolet Corvette and recently acquired $3 million in funding for expansion and working capital from BizCapital, the small business lending division of Advantage Capital Partners.
An Indiana mayor is coming under fire from some quarters for his response to illegally parking his yellow C5 Corvette convertible for several hours outside the City Building on Friday.
Seems Logansport Mayor Ted Franklin parked his Corvette about halfway into a yellow-curbed no-parking zone, then failed to move it after a police officer called his office to inform him about the violation. That was about noon.
When Franklin's car was still there several hours later, someone called to complain. "The complainant refused to give their name, but they had received a ticket for the same offense and felt like the individual should receive a ticket," the police report states.

We've all heard of having fun with our Corvette, but a recent video from recombu.com's Joyride with Rory Reid features the host and his pal, English actor/comedian Robert Llewellyn, definitely taking that idea and spinning it off in a different direction.
The two gents used a Corvette C6 convertible for what some might term a "car-b-que" in the English countryside and captured the entire unique experience on video.
This video shows a Corvette C6 Z06 (as well as a yellow C5 caught in the crossfire) having to play catch-up for the most part with a mystery car that some viewers believe to be a Nissan GT-R.
No matter what kind of car it is that was doing the filming, it was just plain irresponsible behavior on the part of both drivers, who should have taken their fun and games to a race track away from other innocent travelers who could have been killed by their shenanigans on I-59 in Houston. Several times, it's amazing that they were able to avoid collisions with other cars.

Good Reads: Was 2011 a banner year for human rights?(Read article summary)
From the downfall of North African regimes to the humanitarian interventions in Ivory Coast and Libya, 2011 appears to have been the year when citizens and leaders took a stand on human rights.
Scan the headlines and you might feel like the world is going down the tubes. War, famine, power struggles, economic collapse, climate change – none of these problems seem to be going away, and some problems seem to be getting worse by the day.
But in at least one area – human rights – there seems to be some major progress, both because of citizen activism from below and political leadership from above.
Three major dictatorships have fallen across North Africa – in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya – at least partly at the hands of their own people. Citizen protests spread as far away as Bahrain and Yemen, Malawi and Swaziland, and while Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad has held onto power through a brutal repression that has killed thousands of Syrians, it has come at the cost of his country's economic and political isolation.
Numbered are the days, at least in Africa, when leaders could simply grab and hold onto power perpetually through falsified elections. Ivory Coast President Laurent Gbagbo tried that, after losing elections to Alessane Ouattara, and a combination of street protests and pro-Ouattara military might (along with some French military intervention) shut Gbagbo's power grab down. This week, as the Democratic Republic of Congo enters a dicey period, where two men – President Joseph Kabila and opposition leader Etienne Tshisekedi – claim to have won Nov. 28 elections, the international community will doubtless attempt to find a negotiated settlement, after election observers have declared that voting results "lack credibility."

Gap between cabinets and ceiling
We have 30 in cabinets (they actually measure about 31in from top to bottom). We are replacing the 8ft fluorescent bulbs and lowered ceiling with recessed lighting and perhaps a fixture. I know that often people use molding to fill the gap between the ceiling and the tops of the cabinets, but I haven't seen more than six inches of molding. We have eight inches between the cabinets and ceiling, and while I would love to replace the cabinets, it's just not in the budget right now.
So, what do I do? Eight inches isn't much space between cabinets and ceiling, so it might look odd. Would it be better or worse to fill that gap with molding? Any creative solutions?
I think an 8-inch molding would look fine on a 36" or taller cabinet, but a little large above a 30.
I think you'd also have trouble getting it to blend nicely with the built-in molding on your existing cabinets.
Does the molding on your cabinets come off?
You might try a crown molding that doesn't reach the ceiling... maybe four inches, then another crown molding, perhaps painted, in the wall/ceiling corner.
We did a crown molding and flat trim combo to fill the gap. It's a little less overwhelming than all crown. I don't have a great picture, but you can see it below. We got the idea from a friend's kitchen that had a full 4" of the flat trim before their smaller crown started. It turned out that it was a good thing we planned on the flat trim because our ceiling level varied considerably and the flexibility in the height of the flat trim disguises a multitude of sins.
We will have 36 in cabs, but a flat filler before the crown starts. It will all be tha same wood/stain so it won't stick out. You may want to check into that using a somewhat larger but less complicated crown. 6-8 in of a very ornate crown might not look right, but a flat piece with 4 in might be ok, depends on the look.
I think a flat filler with a crown is a good solution, just as williamsem suggested.
You could also try to use base board trim flip it upside down and then add a smaller crown. You can get some more detail without having to do a large crown and it won't be as plain as just a straight filler. I think it depends on the look you're going for.
Here's an example where a flat piece has been added to the top before some crown.
Here is a link that might be useful: cabinet alteration
We have 36" cabinets and opted to have a deep trim molding along the top.

Not only is Liam Neeson one of the busiest A-list actors at work today, but junior high school records show that he was one of the top athletes at his school.
The Irish heartthrob attended St. Patrick's Secondary School in Ballymena, County Antrim, and school records show that when Neeson was in first year (the equivalent of sixth/seventh grade) he won the 100 and 200 yard dashes as well as the triple jump in track and field.
According to the Belfast Telegraph, he ran the 100 in 13.75 seconds, the 200 in 33.55 seconds and jumped 26 ft. 4 in.
Neeson was also a talented boxer and won the Ulster Championship the same year.
If running, jumping and boxing isn't impressive enough, the strapping actor was also a dab hand at soccer, and once had a trial for Irish pro team Bohemians FC in Dublin, even making one appearance for the 'Gypsies' against Shamrock Rovers.
Is it no wonder the 57-year-old was able to sprint, fight and generally kick ass in his hit movie "Taken." The man can do everything!

perenial creeping vine
mleclairApril 16, 2012
I am looking for the identity of this vine I have in my yard. It has few leaves at the bottom and throughout. Mostly it is light green woody with thorns. the tendrils it produces make it a great creeper onto neighboring trees. It is quite attractive when using it to make decorative wreaths for the home, as the woody vine is not dark like grapevine wreath but very light green. Can someone help me find the name for this?

... in one afternoon and we still had The Admiral Nimitz Museum to see.
The museum is located in the Nimitz Hotel which was built in 1852 by Admiral Nimitz's grandfather, a merchant marine who immigrated from Germany in 1844. The Hotel, much of which remains true to the period, was the birthplace of Chester W. Nimitz and had it's own saloon, brewery, a ballroom, theater and ...

The road to the caverns was once again devoid of signage, so we were unsure if we were going ...

Ryan Dungey doesn't need his pickup kit any longer, so it looks like he gave it away!
After a racing career that spanned well over a decade, Ryan Morais has made a successful transition into his new role as Team Manager of the Star Racing Yamaha team. Ryan was joined by his wife Hannah and son Krue in Oakland.
With the temperatures hovering around in the 50-degree mark all day on Saturday, warm up was key to keep the muscles loose before heading out on the track.
As we mentioned earlier, Rockstar Energy Racing's Jason Anderson was on it all day. However, the expectations weren't high for the New Mexican native going into the night show. "I've been battling a cold all week, but we'll see what happens tonight," responded Anderson when we asked how he felt going into the night show.

STORY: William Hurt, Holly Hunter to Star in Lifetime/History's 'Bonnie and Clyde'

Hyland will play Blanche Barrow, the wife of Clyde's brother Buck (Lane Garrison) and the famed outlaw's partner in crime in the Barrow Gang. She joins a cast that also includes Oscar winner William Hurt as Frank Hamer, a Texas Ranger known for his involvement in tracking and killing the 1930s outlaws, and Academy Award winner Holly Hunter will as Emma Parker, Bonnie's mother.

Junk Food Marketing to Children
The World Health Organisation has concluded the marketing of unhealthy foods to children is a probable cause of weight gain. Overweight children are likely to become overweight adults and being overweight or obese increases the risk of some types of cancer.
Every day children are exposed to junk food marketing through advertising or product placement on television, in movies and in electronic games, on-pack giveaways and competitions, in-store promotions, sponsorship of sport or education programs, billboards and on the internet. They are a particularly vulnerable audience that doesn't fully understand the persuasive intent of advertising, being easily deceived by ads.
While parents obviously have an important role to play in ensuring their children eat a healthy diet, limiting their children's exposure to the influence of junk food marketing is one important strategy in the battle against obesity in childhood and the development of healthy eating habits for life.
The current regulatory environment for junk food marketing to children is complex and fragmented and full of loopholes that mean children remain exposed to advertising of unhealthy foods. The Australian Government has been hoping industry self-regulation will be enough to encourage food companies to clean up their act on their own, but so far it's had little impact on the food advertising children see on TV. With increased access to the internet, food advertising through websites encouraging kids to play food branded games (advergames) and viral marketing urging them to tell their friends about a product, is becoming more common. Recent changes to the self-regulations have done little to reduce children's exposure to junk food marketing.
Reducing children and young people's exposure to the marketing and advertising of unhealthy foods is included under Strategic Direction 1 in the NSW Healthy Eating and Active Living Strategy: Preventing overweight and obesity in New South Wales 2013-2018.
Cancer Council NSW wants improved regulation to protect children from junk food marketing. To keep up-to-date with our campaign or to find out more visit the Junkbusters website.

News in Brief: Polyphonic Spree, Isaac Hayes, the Dandy Warhols, AthFest
By Tom Breihan on May 28, 2009 at 3:50 p.m. EDT
-- For parents who want their infants to grow up to lead sparkly-robed chamber-pop cults: Polyphonic Spree frontman Tim DeLaughter has composed and performed all the music for the DVD art project Wee See, a sensory-stimulation project for babies. DeLaughter's music accompanies images by artist Rolyn Barthelman. Says DeLaughter: "Adults are as engaged as any baby we've shown it to." Bold prediction: Somebody, somewhere, will get stoned watching this thing.
-- Stax's recent reissues of Isaac Hayes' Black Moses and Juicy Fruit (Disco Freak) whupped serious ass, so we're happy to report that the Stax folks will soon put out another re-release of a career highlight from the late soul genius. The remastered version of the 1969 album Hot Buttered Soul is due June 23. It'll include bonus tracks, rare photos, and liner notes from My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James.
-- The version of the Dandy Warhols' 2003 album Welcome to the Monkey House that hit stores wasn't the one that the Portland drug-rockers wanted you to hear. The band had mixed another version of the album with engineer Russell Elavedo, but Capitol Records shelved it against the band's wishes. On July 14, the Dandys will release The Dandy Warhols ARE Sound, the Elavedo-mixed version of the album, on their own Beat the World label.
-- The annual AthFest goes down in clubs around Athens, Georgia June 25-28. The Black Lips, Dead Confederate, Those Darlins, Venice Is Sinking, and Patterson Hood and the Screwtopians will all play the festival's free outdoor stages.
Bowie "Storytellers" to Get Official Release
By Ryan Dombal on May 14, 2009 at 10:55 a.m. EDT
While a David Bowie edition of VH1's "Storytellers" is beyond incredible in theory, the legend's 1999 appearance wasn't exactly the juicy, hit-filled extravaganza it could've been. Along with classics like "Life on Mars?" and "Drive-In Saturday", there were two (too many) tracks from his then-current record hours... and, um, "China Girl". Even for the biggest Bowie fan, the show came off like something of a missed opportunity.
That said, the decade-old episode is randomly being released as a CD/DVD set and as a download on July 14 via Virgin/EMI. There are four outtakes included on the DVD and download, including a version of Low's "Always Crashing in the Same Car". Hey, maybe Bowie will come out of hibernation soon, it's been a minute. Full tracklist below:
Arcade Fire Sell Signed DVDs for Charity
By Tom Breihan on May 12, 2009 at 2:35 p.m. EDT
Between their uncommonly graceful response to Wayne Coyne's diss, their support for the Obama campaign, and their appearance on the AIDS benefit compilation Dark Was the Night (among other things), it's not like the Arcade Fire really need to worry about their karma. But the Canadian anthem-slingers are still doing good things for the world anyway. It's just how they roll.
The members of the band have signed 250 copies of the deluxe edition of the Miroir Noir DVD, and they're selling them online and donating all proceeds to the health care nonprofit Partners in Health. For $250, you can get the signed DVD and an exclusive limited-edition hand silk-screened poster signed by the artist. Time to put that tax refund check to good use.
News in Brief: Jack White/Dex Romweber Duo, Sia, The Sounds, Kitsuné
By Amy Phillips on May 7, 2009 at 2:40 p.m. EDT
-- Jack White is all over the new single, "Last Kind Word" b/w "The Wind Did Not Move", from the Dex Romweber Duo, fronted by Dex Romweber of the Flat Duo Jets (a hero of Jack's). White produced the 7" at his own home studio, and will release it on his own label, Third Man, later this month. He also sings, plays guitar, bass, and musical saw on the single. Musical saw!
-- On May 19, pop eccentric Sia will release the live DVD TV Is My Parent on Monkey Puzzle Records/Concord Music Group. The DVD features a live show recorded in New York City in 2007 as well as music videos and behind-the-scenes footage. She also released an iTunes exclusive EP, LIVE from Sydney, this week.
-- Cheesetastic Swedish pop-punk band the Sounds will release their new album Crossing the Rubicon June 2 on Original Signal Recordings. They'll be on tour with No Doubt all summer.
-- The hip French record label/fashion house Kitsuné will release their latest compilation, Kitsuné Maison 7: The Lucky One, on June 9 in the U.S. It features tracks from Phoenix, Golden Filter, Heartsrevolution, La Roux, and more. You can hear one track from the comp, Yuksek's remix of AutoKratz's "Always More", over in Forkcast.
New Depeche Mode Doc Out Soon
By Ryan Dombal on April 27, 2009 at 1:10 a.m. EDT
As if a new single, video, album, and world tour wasn't enough, those electronic pop vets Depeche Mode have a brand new documentary called The Dark Progression coming out on DVD June 16 via MVD. The career-spanning film sounds legit, too; it features interviews with every band member, as well as producers Gareth Jones, Dave Bascombe, Phil Legg, and Steve Lyon...and Gary Numan and Thomas Dolby. Thomas Dolby really puts it over the top. There's archival footage, performances, and everything else you'd expect from a music DVD, too.
Killers to Drop Live DVD, Covers Album
By Ryan Dombal on April 24, 2009 at 5:25 p.m. EDT
When I caught the Killers at Madison Square Garden earlier this year, I was generally stunned. Awed, even. While the band's last two albums were spotty, they ditched almost all the filler live and ran through about two hours of prime-cut arena rock. That night's "When You Were Young" was one of my favorite big rock show moments ever. Ever! (Watch it here, please.)
Moral of the story: Shameless rock fans like me will get to relive all the pomp and snow-tiger backdrops when the Killers' first live DVD comes out later this year, according to a Billboard interview with drummer Ronnie Vannucci. I may have to go into bankruptcy buying a surround-sound setup for this one.
The Vegas show-boaters are also working on a covers LP-- they've already put their spin on Bright Eyes' "Four Winds", a Cyndi Lauper song, and Murray Head's "One Night in Bangkok". The album is still in its early stages, though. "I don't know when the hell we'll get it off the ground to release it," said Vannucci. Gotta respect the honesty there.
In less promising news, Vannucci tells Billboard that the Killers plan to release the bloated and decidedly-not-great song "A Dustland Fairytale" as the third U.S. single from Day & Age. This is a mistake. Almost any other song from the record would be a better choice, especially "Joyride" which screams summer smash. Dudes-- get it together!
The Killers are currently playing some of the biggest stages on earth. They headline Lollapalooza in August.
New Live Nirvana DVD in the Works
By Ryan Dombal on April 22, 2009 at 5:55 p.m. EDT
Nirvana's performance at England's Reading Festival on August 30, 1992 is legendary. But it's not one of those "hey, it's Nirvana and everything they did is legendary" deals. The much-bootlegged set saw Kurt Cobain refuting illness rumors by slyly entering the stage in a wheelchair and hospital gown before tearing the festival into teeny tiny bits. Some rudimentary Googling and YouTubing can give you a pretty good idea of the spectacle, but as NME reports, an official DVD of the performance is on the way.
Universal plans to release the disc in November, and NME reports that it has been "officially sanctioned by the remaining members of the band" and features some never-before-seen footage. Opportunistic stocking stuffer or painstaking reissue of an essential rock'n'roll document? Time will tell.
News in Brief: Terry Riley, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Rollerpalooza, the Horse's Ha
By Tom Breihan on April 22, 2009 at 12:55 p.m. EDT
-- This Friday, April 24, Carnegie Hall will host a concert celebrating the 45th anniversary of Terry Riley's landmark experimental work In C. The National's Bryce Dessner will join a lineup of out-music royalty that includes Philip Glass, the Kronos Quartet, Morton Subotnick, Trevor Dunn, So Percussion, and Riley himself to perform the work.
-- According to XXL, a forthcoming album and DVD will pay tribute to Ol' Dirty Bastard, the beloved Wu-Tang Clan rapper who died in 2004. All in Together Now Raw: A Tribute to the Ol' Dirty Bastard, the album, will reportedly hit stores in May. RZA, Masta Killa, and other assorted Wu-Tang associates will appear on it. The documentary, Dirty: One Word Can Change the World, will include an interview with the little girl that ODB saved from a car wreck in 1998. Dirty's cousin Raison Allah spearheaded both projects.
-- You would think that a Black Lips gig at a roller rink would end in a whole lot of people slipping in spilled beer. Nonetheless, the Atlanta troublemakers will join Mika Miko, Gringo Star, and others at Drowned in Sound's Rollerpalooza, which goes down at Sheffield's Skate Central on May 16.
-- The Horse's Ha is the duo of the Zincs' James Elkington and Freakwater's Janet Beveridge Bean. On June 9, Hidden Agenda will release their first LP, Of The Cathmawr Yards.
News in Brief: John Lennon, Au Revoir Simone, Blank Dogs, Sublime Frequencies
By Ryan Dombal on April 16, 2009 at 4:40 p.m. EDT
-- John Lennon & the Plastic Ono Band Live in Toronto '69 is "the only performance ever caught on film of John Lennon and the Plastic Ono Band," according to a press release from Shout! Factory, which will release the concert film on DVD June 23. Directed by D.A. Pennebaker, the flick features performances from Lennon, Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Eric Clapton, and Little Richard.
-- Warm and fuzzy keyboard trio Au Revoir Simone release their new LP, Still Night, Still Light, May 19 on their own label, Our Secret Record Company. Keep it to yourself, I guess.
-- Lo-fi weirdos Blank Dogs have a new record out June 2 on In the Red Records. They're playing dates in New York and Europe soon, too.
-- Sublime Frequencies is an enterprising label that focuses on music and film from North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. The multimedia Sublime Frequencies tour-- with music from Syrian folk-pop vet Omar Souleyman, Western Sahara's Group Doueh, along with DJ sets and films-- kicks off May 20. Check here for a full list of the European dates.
News in Brief: Trevor Horn, Jeremy Enigk, Tara Jane O'Neil, USA Is a Monster
By Tom Breihan on April 10, 2009 at 2:35 p.m. EDT
-- Studio rats don't often get the stadium-sized recognition they often deserve. But in 2004, the past collaborators of the 80s maximalist pop genius Trevor Horn took over London's Wembley Arena to pay Horn tribute. On May 19, Slaves to the Rhythm, the DVD document of that show, will finally see U.S. release, via WienerWorld Presentation. The DVD features performances from Frankie Goes to Hollywood, the Buggles, the Pet Shop Boys, Grace Jones, and Belle & Sebastian. And yes, Yes is on it.
-- On May 12, Lewis Hollow will release OK Bear, the latest solo album from former Sunny Day Real Estate frontman Jeremy Enigk.
-- A Ways Away, the new album from Portland singer-songwriter Tara Jane O'Neil, is due May 5 via K. She'll play Portland's Fontanelle Gallery on April 30, and she'll tour Europe in May.

There's no place that Chad Knapp would rather be than the racetrack.
"It's basically my second home during the summer time," said the 16-year-old sophomore from Parkers Prairie. "I can't get away from there."
Knapp, the son of Becky Lee and Doug Knapp, has been a diehard race fan since he was 7. After months of begging, he finally convinced his dad to take him to the races at the Viking Speedway in Alexandria.

Choose a utility sink. A rectangular sink works well to serve as a utility sink. Make sure the sink will fit in the cabinet area of any pre-built countertop.
Mark the outline of the drop-in for the sink. If the sink comes with a template, center the template on the countertop over the cabinet and trace it with a pencil. If it doesn't come with a template, carefully measure the sink underneath the overhanging lip and use a straightedge and pencil to transfer the dimensions onto the countertop.
Wear safety glasses and use a power drill with a paddle bit to drill a hole at each corner of the area to cut out. Insert a jigsaw through one of these holes to cut from hole to hole to create the opening. When in doubt, cut slightly smaller than the line because you can remove more material if necessary.
If the cabinet doesn't have cutouts to accommodate plumbing, make the appropriate cuts to fit the plumbing rough-in.
Make sure the cabinet and countertop are positioned correctly, and slip the sink into the cutout. Use a bead of plumber's putty to seal under the sink's overhanging lip.

Currently, there are approximately 1.2 billion smokers worldwide, of which 38 million live in Brazil.
Substances such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, ammonia, benzene, toluene, tar, formic acid, acetic acid, lead, cadmium, zinc, nickel, among many other substances are found in cigarette. With this explosive combination, people who use it, get hooked fast.
But they are a lucrative business, it can not be denied: in Brazil, cigarette smoking produces an amount of about 33.4 million reais a year (US$ 16.5 million) even with the government increasing the tax on industrialized products (IPI) in 40% (which increases the value of the cigarette around 55% of the original)
According to recent data from the Household Budget Survey (POF) announced last year by the government, from 2003 to 2009 there was a fall of 19.7% in value of the monthly average consumption of cigarettes in Brazil, and 4.3% of total families expenditures with smoke, from R$ 775.7 million (US$ 383.8 million) to R$ 742.2 million per month (US$ 367.2 million), according to data contained in these period.
This already can be seen an advancement with respect to awareness, although this equivalent consumption between men and women does not surprise me, because they were already common in the smoking habits of both sexes since the time of the "discovery" of Brazil observed in indigenous peoples (about 500 or so years ago). Very confirmed by this research in the article.

pop up error
2004 dell 6000 notebook. winxp home. i press the R key and i get the run dialogue box popup. sometimes i hit the T key and get the start menu box. usually its most of the keys on the right side of keyboard. i put in a new hard drive and installed winxp pro version. after 1 day, the popups came back. i can sometimes restart computer and clear issue. sometimes restarting has no effect. even in safemode. i get popups. with a new harddrive and new install of OS, does the popup issue point to a hardware issue?
Sounds like keyboard issue to me, and it maybe the windows key on the keyboard the one with the little windows design on it is either defective or stuck in the down positions. Turn your keyboard up side down and gently tap it see if any thing falls out like dirt etc
Do keyboard shortcuts go away with new hard drive install? I replaced hard drive. I did not clone new drive. I have no old dell install discs. I have a generic copy of winxp pro that I used. New drive has no user settings or tweaks installed. I only did the minimum required to get notebook running. After 1 day, pop ups returned. I than took out new hard drive and put original hard drive back in.
OK so go to the Dell web site and look for the drivers. Seem to remember that you can punch in the model and serial number found on the back or bottom and it will come up with all the needed drivers.
When you used the XP CD did you use the 25 digit code on the computer case or the sleeve of the CD you used?
It makes no difference except you have now used 2 different copies of the operating system. If you ever wipe the drive again use the key on the sticker on the case. Then you can use the CD version on any other computer. This is perfectly legal as the original 25 digit code is registered to that motherboard and that board only, not transferable.
Did you check in the keyboard settings in control panel as was mentioned earlier? If not that is definitely one place to be looking.
I might look in device manager for any obvious problems and also in even viewer for red alerts.
I still definitely think it is that the keyboard shortcuts are turned on and set up.
Try this hold the NUM LOCK key down for several seconds that should toggle the keys on and off. On a laptop often the numlock pad is the problem so try turning it off and on etc to see if you get any results.
Some laptops have the action and function keys set up with special actions also. You can check your specific model of laptop online or in the user manual to see if that is what is happening.
check these for possible options to try

UCSF scientists have discovered that higher blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids correspond to a lower rate of shortening of telomere length in patients with coronary artery disease.
The finding, they say, indicates the possibility that omega-3 fatty acids may protect against cellular aging.
The study is reported online and in the Jan. 20 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Telomeres are tiny units of DNA that seal off the ends of chromosomes, which contain the body's genes — similar in concept to the tips that keep shoelaces from unraveling. Telomeres protect the integrity of genes and maintain chromosomal stability and accurate cell division. They also determine the number of times a cell divides, and thus determine life span.
