Is Bush Really "open to any idea" on Iraq Now?Quicklink submitted by Russ Wellen Permalink
|'By picking Robert Gates as defense secretary,' writes David Sanger of The New York Times, 'President George W. Bush has indicated that he is throwing open the door to his Iraq policy. . . Gates has sharply criticized the Bush administration's handling of the Iraq war and has made clear that he would seek advice from moderate Republicans.' Yet, other reports brand Gates as strictly a yes man.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
What are 40 St. Nicks doing parading down 'Main St.' in Selkirk?
Movies don't always confine bizarre vistas to the screen. Sometimes, cinema's surreal spectacle crosses over into the realm of real life.
Case in point: On a Tuesday night in late April, when leaves are starting to bloom on trees, a Santa Claus Parade is taking place on Manitoba Avenue in the town of Selkirk, 22 kilometres north of Winnipeg. As darkness falls, the street is literally filling with a surfeit of Santas. There must be around 40 men in Santa suits milling in front of the neon-appointed Garry Theatre marquee, in addition to extras dressed as Gingerbread men, Christmas stars and Christmas trees. (Between takes, the guys dressed as trees laugh with discomfort upon being eyed with interest by an imposingly muscular black dog on a leash.)
At the front of the parade, extras carry a banner: "Cryer, Wisconsin, Home of the World's Best Santa Parade."
Welcome to the filming of Silent Night, a horror remake of a notorious 1984 slasher. Budgeted somewhere under $4 million, this new film from L.A.'s The Genre Company is based on Silent Night, Deadly Night, a film that once raised the ire of a more conservative Reagan-era American public due to unsavoury ad images of a killer Santa Claus brandishing an axe, clearly up to no good. Parents groups rallied in front of theatres in protest.
Today, it's dozens of Santas in front of a movie theatre, their movements orchestrated by director Steven C. Miller clad in a Goonies skull-and-crossbones T-shirt.
Of the 18-day shooting schedule, 15 of those days are on location in Selkirk, population 10,000. Genre Company producer Shara Kay says the town offered a wealth of atmosphere for the film, including this stretch of Manitoba Avenue, which closely resembles "the quintessential Main Street of an American small town."
"We found a police station with real working jail cells, an abandoned house," Kay says, adding that more than 200 Selkirk residents showed up as volunteer extras to enthusiastically portray the parade's audience.
"This is our town," Kay says.
(They didn't find snow, unfortunately, which would have been an unreasonable request to make of Manitoba in May. "We address the lack of snow in the script," Kay says.)
Horror remakes often boast bigger, better actors than appeared in the original version, and on this night, that is proven by the presence of Malcolm McDowell, Donal Logue and Jaime King on the set. McDowell and King are dressed as a sheriff and deputy, respectively. Logue plays one of the Santas, and a decidedly seedy-looking one.
For both King and McDowell, this is the third time on the remake-of-a-decades-old-slasher thing. McDowell played the role of Dr. Loomis in Rob Zombie's revisionist remakes Halloween and Halloween 2. King has made My Bloody Valentine and Mother's Day, the latter shot in Winnipeg in the autumn of 2009.
For Logue, McDowell and King, this is also a second time experience shooting in Manitoba. King shot the aforementioned Mothers Day in Winnipeg in the fall of 2009, Logue worked here on the 2007 drama The Good Life, and McDowell just finished shooting the TV movie Home Alone 5: Alone in the Dark here last month.
The Yorkshire-born McDowell, 68, muses that he has become a person on interest on the horror movie radar since doing those Halloween films.
"All the fans of horror, they trip out on this stuff," he says, adding that the experience offered him his first opportunity, in a storied career, to don a sheriff's costume.
"That was one of the things that drew me to it because I'm going off to play a couple of butlers next," he says, while relaxing between takes. "You get a certain amount of gravitas as soon as you put this stuff on."
McDowell started out with prestigious work for the likes of Lindsay Anderson (O Lucky Man) and Stanley Kubrick (A Clockwork Orange) and has sustained his career across genres, from science fiction (Time After Time) to swashbuckling historical adventure (Royal Flash) to porn-infused potboiler (Caligula). He says he is happy to keep working in a multitude of different projects.
"I'm having a lot of fun," he says. "I can't take it too seriously."
The Ottawa-born Logue may be new to the horror remake, but he has appeared in a few notable horror films such as last year's Shark Night and the Wesley Snipes vampire thriller Blade. A solid working actor with an amazing variety of roles on his resumé, Logue is not an actor to look down his nose on genre films.
"When I first moved to Los Angeles, people said, 'You have to choose. Are you TV, or film or comedy or drama?'"
Logue's response was to do everything.
"I've had a good time bouncing between genres," he says. "It was fun to do four-camera sitcoms in front of a live studio audience, to do huge big-budget studio pictures like The Patriot or Zodiac, or it's fun to do fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants movies and different genres and different things."
"In England, they don't really have anything called a character actor because everybody's an actor, but in America, that's what I am," Logue says. The label allows him to lead a varied career, which he appreciates.
"I like changing things up a lot. There's not a category where someone can say: He's never done that. You have to keep appearing on different radar screens in different ways."
Producer Shara Kay says the plan is to release Silent Night theatrically in time for Christmas 2012.
Silent Night reveals its secret (psycho) Santa
A horror movie is usually only as good as its villain.
In the movie Silent Night, the killer dressed as Santa Claus inspires not visions of sugarplums, but something decidedly more nightmarish as he slices his way through the naughty citizenry of Cryer, Wisconsin.
The Genre Company revealed that the role of the killer would be played by Winnipeg actor-stunt co-ordinator Rick Skene.
It's a particularly delicious change-up for Skene, the son of former Free Press theatre critic Reg Skene. Rick was the stunt co-ordinator of the direct-to-DVD horror film Wrong Turn 4 in which his stuntman-actor sons Sean and Daniel Skene played two of the film's three mutant cannibal villains, Three Finger and One Eye.
On this shoot, Sean Skene is the stunt co-ordinator while his dad is in the psycho hot seat.
"He came in as the stunt co-ordinator and we asked him: Would you consider playing the role?" says producer Shara Kay. "Fortunately, he accepted."
"They asked me if I acted," says Skene, who actually teaches acting as well as fight choreography at the University of Winnipeg. "It's kind of a logical move to have an experienced stunt performer who is also an actor. Because having to switch (between actor and stuntman) through the entire movie is so crazy, it just made sense to go in that direction.
"It's a really big role to bite off."

About Randall King
In a way, Randall King was born into the entertainment beat.
His dad was Winnipeg musician Jimmy King, a one-time columnist for the Winnipeg Free Press. One of his brothers is a playwright. Another is a singer-songwriter.
Randall has been content to cover the entertainment beat in one capacity or another since 1990.
His beat is film, and the job has placed him in the same room as diverse talents, from Martin Scorsese to Martin Short, from Julie Christie to Julia Styles. He has met three James Bonds (four if you count Woody Allen), and director Russ Meyer once told him: "I like your style."
He really likes his job.

This morning when I woke up, I had a thought-provoking email in my inbox. It was from my friend, Syd Mandelbaum. Syd is the founder of Rock and Wrap it Up, an NGO dedicated to feeding those in need.
In past interviews with Syd, he has said that he has chosen feeding the needy because of his own family's near-starvation during the Holocaust.
For the past several years in my work with Tibet, I have been surrounded by those who have been directly impacted by modern-day genocide and oppressive fascist regimes; they have lost husbands, family members and friends, or been illegally detained in forced labor camps. Syd's email this morning was about an event 69 years ago today — the questions and 'what ifs?' are as fresh today as they were then.
Here is Syd's email:
So it has come around again June 8. To celebrate or to mourn?
On June 8th 1942, the town of Szczckowa, Poland had a selection of who would live and who would die. Families were lined up and a military doctor pointed to the left or to the right. My mother Lena, at 15 was small. Her brother Morris was 17, her sister Regina was 19. Joseph was 12 and David 11. Solomon was was born in 1900 and was 41 and Paula was born in 1898 was 43.
Two years in the towns ghetto had reduced everyone's size and health. Solomon, Regina and Morris were selected to go to a line of people who looked healthier in comparison to the other line which had more senior people and mothers with babies and young children on their arm. Joseph was as tall as Lena and when the selection came, he went with his mother. So did Lena.
Regina, the oldest saw this and had read the horrible truth. She ran to Lena and told her and Joseph to come with her, as David was very small. Joseph refused to leave his mother and Regina dragged Lena with her.
They had been an upper middle class family before the terrible war, living in Germany before they were uprooted to Poland. The defiant act of my Aunt Regina saved a future generation. So part of me must celebrate the miracle. The other part of me still shakes his fist at the heavens.
Later that day, the line of mothers and their babies and children, grandmothers and fathers and grandfathers were ushered into cattle cars and taken the 20 miles to the Auschwitz/Bierkineau death camp. They were sent to make-believe showers, handed wooden bars of soap and gassed to death. They were cremated, burned in ovens next door. They, for all practical purposes, disappeared.
This inhumane practice took place every day for years until the end of the war, an attempt to destroy a people, a genus, a culture. My mother still feels guilty 69 years later. She is still haunted by the events of this date, June 8th.
I was born 8 years after this selection. I always ask why there are not more think tanks which fight poverty, disease, social ills? How many more Rock and Wrap it Up!s could have been formulated by the children of those who were murdered? There is no answer.
I just need to wake up on the anniversary of this date every year and decide to celebrate or mourn. As I get older, I find myself forcing to feel celebratory on the miracle on my Aunt's quick thinking. June 8th is the real birth of everything related to my existence and my family.
It is also the death of so much what could have been.

I don't see anything wrong with celebrating your life while also remembering those who perished- like the funeral processions in New Orleans that start out sad and end up on a triumphant note. Make sure you are living as best a life as you can to honor the ones who didn't make it.
It is worth recalling our inhumanity towards one another before we repeat it.
The Germans were largely Christian, well educated and a quite sophisticated people, not dissimilar from citizens of the U.S. at that time. I was only a child under ten at this time, but three of four of my grandparents were born in Germany, and the fourth only after her parents emmigrated here from there. I have a firm conviction those people were not that different from those I knew then and know now. Though not living under a system of government exactly like ours, the people did feel they had some control in selecting their leadership. They had been disappointed following the results of WW1 and quite desireous of improved status in the world, so became highly patriotic. Things too extreme can be troublesome and lead to mistakes in judgment.
I agree with your comments to Aileen, Maureen. The numbers involved in the Holocaust do account for much of the interest the memory of it invokes. Of course others can point out the numbers in other locations where the actual count may not have been possible may never be known, either.
However, I believe there may be another, more pervasive reason for the example of the Holocaust arising again and again, especially in this country. In fact for some time there have been commercial interests in promoting the worst elements of this particular history, as well as political ones.
The facts hardest to admit are how easily and nearly completely a whole country fell under the spell of this supposed improvement in the culture there. Some was because most were actually unaware of the extent of the atrocities being committed. But the total acceptance of their leadership without realizing the lengths it might reach in realizing goals was not fully recognized by the majority until it was too late. I can never believe the German citizens as a whole desired the elimination of their fellow citizens in such a manner. They were misled in adopting leadership with goals that seemed patriotic and good for all, while really they were self-serving motives not revealed in full to voters supporting them.
That is why in the United States government we must be vigilant in monitoring our choices at every step in changes, small and large, never without considering possible end results.
Aileen P--The difference between the holocaust and these other wars is volume. For years, the Nazis rounded up Jews and killed them for no other reason than they were Jews. It was not only the Jews, either. They rounded up people who were not considered to be Aryan--blond, fair-skinned people. In all, the Germans annialated 6,000,000 Jews and an equal number of people who were not Jewish. They set out to conquer the world, and they might have succeeded if the Japanese had not jumped the gun by attacking Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The United States immediately declared war on Japan, which was an ally of Germany. Then Germany declared war on the United States.
There is an old saying it would be wise for people to remember. The man who forgets to remember is doomed to repeat. We must never forget the holocaust or what was done to the millions of poor people sent to the death camps.
Richard A "I guess I'm missing something here so please educate me why this gas is such a heartbreaking issue. Is it the number of people killed? The manner? And why is this war and death so historical and the stories replayed time and time again? I'm kind of getting desensitized here like old stories of racism. So, please tell me what makes this killing more special than so many other killings in history."
The holocaust is no more or no less important than any war, genocide, crime against humanity, killings or murder. The only difference is that the Jews decided that it will never be forgotten by mankind and that we would hopefully learn from it. But considering all the other wars and genocide that has happened since then, we, as so-called humans, have obviously not learnt anything from the horrors of the Holocaust. See Rwandan & Bosnian Genocide, War in Darfur, Vietnam War, Cambodian Wars, etc, etc. I don't think there is one nation that is innocent of crimes against humanity in one form or another. Have we learnt from history. No. Do we sit back and allow it to happen. Yes, the majority of us do. What can we do about it? I honestly don't know. Inundate your government with requests to intercede??? What else? It is heartbreaking that it happens and as individuals, it is heartbreaking that we cannot do anything about it, unless you are part of an organisation that aids countries in need. Although sometimes even they aren't able to assist. My prayers to all those involve
@ Jane L. Trying to use the Holocaust to promote your vegan agenda is indefensable!
I could never visit a Holocaust Museum because it would upset me too much, but I agree with Elgrit B that it should never, ever be forgotten and that people should see visual reminders of how terrible it was.
In discussions about the Holocaust, we must not forget the RESCUERS. The thousands of known and unsung heroes, who risked themselves and their families torture and death to save lives and cheat the nazis. It is well documented. Will they rise again, if we plunge into that darkness???
The holocaust has never gone away..
Like most bad smells it meanders here there and everywhere.. from Auschwitz to the Gulag to Kampuchea/Nam/China/North Korea encompassing virtually every muslim nation under the sun to darkest Africa/South and Middle America as a matter of fact the whole world is about to succumb..
You might as well keep celebrating you never know when your turn will come..

Vegas thinks NBA is hot. She knows he's the quickest ticket to social royalty, but also the hardest ticket to get. She bats her eyes at him from across the room and flashes a smile. He ignores her like a polar bear ignores the salad bar. He has definite interest in her but – again – there's that reputation.
What NBA needs is a sacrificial lamb.

Until the late 90s Noctiluca miliaris, a large dinoflagellate, with a flagellated green-pigmented endosymbiont, Pedinomonas noctilucae was a minor component of phytoplankton populations in the northern Arabian Sea, appearing in bloom form only sporadically during the Southwest monsoon. Since then however, N. miliaris blooms have increased in frequency, intensity and distribution, but with the majority of blooms being observed following the Northeast monsoon. There is particular concern that the spread of N. miliaris blooms may be indicative of eutrophication of the Arabian Sea ecosystem. Such concerns are consistent with recent indications that the Arabian Sea is becoming more productive and that its permanent oxygen minimum zone is intensifying. Here, we propose to carry out a targeted program aimed at developing the capacity to identify and quantify N. miliaris and other phytoplankton functional types using satellite ocean color data. By applying the method to historical ocean color datasets, we will attempt to pinpoint when N. miliaris blooms first began making their appearance. We will integrate fields of phytoplankton functional types with ship-based ecophysiological information to investigate: i) the implications of these blooms on carbon cycling and interpret this with other satellite data to understand: 1) the environmental conditions facilitating large N. miliaris blooms in the Arabian Sea; 2) the oceanographic and meteorological conditions contributing to their enhanced frequency and 3) possible climatic connections. Our proposed research program focuses upon NASA Earth Science Research & Analysis Focus Area: Carbon Cycle and Ecosystems and seeks to answer: How are ocean ecosystems and the biodiversity they support influenced by climate and environmental variability and change, and address: Biogeochemistry Subelement topics: 2.1 Research in Biological Oceanography: 2.1.1 Multisensor observations of oceanographic phenomena & 2.1.2 Impacts of a Changing Climate on Biological Oceanography 2.3 Providing the scientific basis for next generation ocean biology remote sensing technologies

Therapeutic strategies are often based on two general principles: interference with the pathogenic process and repair of the damaged tissues. Recent studies, however, have suggested that several pathological conditions may result from the interplay between genetic susceptibility traits and environmental influences that, by modulating the epigenome, also affect disease onset and progression. Based on lessons from neural development, it is conceivable that new lines of preventive and possibly therapeutic intervention might be developed to modulate disease onset or decrease the severity of the symptoms. This review will discuss these concepts within the context of multiple sclerosis, the most common demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, and the leading cause of progressive neurological disability in young adults.

Reiloy Westland Corp. to move to new Maize industrial park with help of incentives
The city of Maize has landed a sizable new business and is getting a new industrial park to boot.
Reiloy Westland Corp. plans to build a 45,000-square-foot building at the northwest corner of 119th Street West and 53rd Street North, and company president Dave Larson and his wife, Deborah, will start an industrial park there.
"Obviously, it's a good deal for all of us," says City Administrator Richard LaMunyon.
The deal includes up to $3 million in industrial revenue bonds for the acquisition of 27 acres to start the park, a building and 10 years of tax abatement on the property. The Maize City Council approved the deal Monday night in a 5-0 vote.
"We've got a real visionary council," LaMunyon says.
Reiloy, which manufactures components for plastic processing equipment, currently has about 55 employees in 27,000 square feet on Maize Road just south of Kellogg.
"We need more space," Dave Larson says.
He says the tax abatement and IRBs will allow the company to expand and hire more employees, including about five when the new building opens and 10 over the next five years.
Larson previously owned the company, which was founded in 1969, and sold to the German company Reifenhauser Gruppe in 2012.
"We've been growing significantly ever since," he says.
The company had considered relocating to other markets, including Chicago and some communities around Kansas, that wooed it with incentives.
"We certainly wanted to keep them in the area," LaMunyon says. "It's a quality company."
Larson says Maize leaders and others in the county convinced him to stay.
"The efforts they put forth persuaded us to stay here."
When Larson began talking with Maize, LaMunyon says he told Larson of a long-range study Maize did "for what it would take to get an industrial park going up here."
"We wanted an industrial park in the city of Maize, but we wanted it to be privately developed," he says. "We just didn't want to go in debt for it."
The No. 1 site a consultant recommended was for 119th Street West and 53rd Street North. Larson and his wife were interested.
Through their 1735 South Maize Road LLC, the Larsons are purchasing 27 acres in Maize. They are now considering an option for 80 acres next to the 27 acres.
"This is the anchor in the new industrial park," LaMunyon says of Reiloy.
"It's just another great attribute for the city of Maize," he says.
"Our housing incentives have really worked out well. Our commercial is picking up and doing well, and now the industrial park is starting to move."
LaMunyon says the industrial component helps create an even more stable tax base.
"That means we don't have to raise taxes. We can look at reducing taxes in the future," he says. "It's just good for the city."
Larson says he wants the new space to be ready by June 15.
"We need to start as soon as possible," he says.
"The company has purchased a very large machine that will not fit in this building," he says of a mill-turn machine. "The machine arrives the first of July, and we have to have a place to put it."
LaMunyon says having a company such as Reiloy in Maize "provides a base of stability for employment for the whole region."
He says Maize is open to incentives for other companies looking to locate in the industrial park.
"Of course, anybody that follows, we would take each one of them individually."
He says it makes sense to be an attractive place for business.
"That's the word we want to get out to people," LaMunyon says.
"We're here. … Come see us."

Telecom Italia Mobile was the Telecom Italia's mobile phone brand since 1996 to February 2015. First mobile phone provider in Italy for customers (35 millions) and coverage (99.9% of population). TIM runs a GSM, EDGE, UMTS, HSPA and LTE network and is headquartered both in Rome (operations) and Milan (administration). In Brazil TIM is second largest operator with 74 millions customers and runs a GSM, EDGE, UMTS, HSPA and LTE network. TIM Brasil has its Brazilian headquarter in Rio De Janeiro.[citation needed] TIM Perú was sold to América Móvil and rebranded Claro.[citation needed] TIM sold its share in the Venezuelan mobile operator Digitel TIM to Televenco, a company owned by the Cisneros Group, since then the company's name has been Digitel. The agreement was approved by the Venezuelan regulatory authority Conatel. TIM Turkey was founded in 2004 and operated a GSM, EDGE and UMTS network. In September 2006, Türk Telekom acquired Telecom Italia's shares of 40.6% and the network became Avea. TIM Hellas, the Greek operator owned by Telecom Italia and previously known as STET Hellas (Telestet) was sold in 2005 to Apax Partners and Texas Pacific Group. In 2007 the company was sold to Orascom Telecom and TIM Hellas, Q-Telecom and also Tellas (a fixed phone/ADSL provider whose 50%+1 share is owned by Orascom's Italian Wind company) renamed to Wind on 5 June 2007.[citation needed]. TIM through its mother company Telecom Italia owns shares in Telecom Argentina and its mobile operator Personal.
TIM is the default network for T-Mobile and Orange customers entering Italy as part of the FreeMove alliance.[citation needed]
- In Italy, 4G LTE is active in 2,560 cities, (77%)[citation needed] including: Ancona, Bari, Bologna, Cagliari, Catania, Florence, Genoa, Milan, Naples, Palermo, Perugia, Pescara, Reggio Calabria, Rome, Trento, Trieste and Turin
- 4G+/LTE Plus boasting speeds of up to 180-225 MB exploiting the 4G carrier aggregation is now available in more than 60 cities in Italy: Rome, Milan, Turin, Naples, Florence, Genoa, Palermo, Catania and Bari.
- 3G 42.2 MB/s active in 2500 cities of Italy[citation needed]
National fraud in Brazilian prepaid mobile lines[edit]
On 8 August 2012, TIM Brasil became involved in a massive scandal in Brazilian news after the release of report by the Brazilian National Telecommunications Agency Anatel.[1]
The report points that on TIM's prepaid voice plan (24.7% market share), called "Infinity" (in which the user pays roughly US$0.12 for each unlimited time call), the calls were intentionally dropped by the company, forcing the customers to make (and pay for) new calls to keep talking. In just one day, 8.1 million calls were dropped and the total profit was approximately US$2 million.
Upon release of the report, the Public Ministry of the Paraná State filed a lawsuit against TIM asking that it stop selling new mobile lines in Brazil and pay a multi million dollar fine for the damages against consumers.[2]

But now that she has teamed up with other rebels with powers of their own, she'll be able to fight back against The Reestablishment to save her broken world.

1.a. Portage Files
Configuration Directives
Portage comes with a default configuration stored in
/etc/make.globals. When you take a look at it, you'll notice that
all Portage configuration is handled through variables. What variables Portage
listens to and what they mean are described later.
Since many configuration directives differ between architectures, Portage also
has a default configuration file inside your profile:
/etc/make.profile/make.defaults. We'll explain more about profiles
and the /etc/make.profile directory later on.
If you're planning on changing a configuration variable, don't alter
/etc/make.globals or /etc/make.profile/make.defaults.
Instead use /etc/make.conf which has precedence over
the previous files. You'll also find a /etc/make.conf.example. As
the name implies, this is merely an example file - Portage does not read in
this file.
You can also define a Portage configuration variable as an environment variable,
but we don't recommend this.
Profile-Specific Information
We've already encountered the /etc/make.profile directory. Well,
this isn't exactly a directory but a symbolic link to a profile, by default one
inside /usr/portage/profiles although you can create your own
profiles elsewhere and point to them. The profile this symlink points to is the
profile to which your system adheres.
A profile contains architecture-specific information for Portage, such as a
list of packages that belong to the system corresponding with that profile,
a list of packages that don't work (or are masked-out) for that profile, etc.
User-Specific Configuration
When you need to override Portage's behaviour regarding the installation of
software, you will end up editing files within /etc/portage. You
are highly recommended to use files within /etc/portage and
highly discouraged to override the behaviour through environment
Within /etc/portage you can create the following files:
More information about the /etc/portage directory and a full list
of possible files you can create can be found in the Portage man page:
Code Listing 1.1: Reading the Portage man page
$ man portage
Changing Portage File & Directory Locations
The previously mentioned configuration files cannot be stored elsewhere -
Portage will always look for those configuration files at those exact locations.
However, Portage uses many other locations for various purposes: build
directory, source code storage, Portage tree location, ...
All these purposes have well-known default locations but can be altered to your
own taste through /etc/make.conf. The rest of this chapter explains
what special-purpose locations Portage uses and how to alter their placement on
your filesystem.
This document isn't meant to be used as a reference though. If you need 100%
coverage, please consult the Portage and make.conf man pages:
Code Listing 1.2: Reading the Portage and make.conf man pages
$ man portage
$ man make.conf
1.b. Storing Files
The Portage Tree
The Portage tree default location is /usr/portage. This is defined
by the PORTDIR variable. When you store the Portage tree elsewhere (by altering
this variable), don't forget to change the /etc/make.profile
symbolic link accordingly.
If you alter the PORTDIR variable, you might want to alter the following
variables as well since they will not notice the PORTDIR change. This is due to
how Portage handles variables: PKGDIR, DISTDIR, RPMDIR.
Prebuilt Binaries
Even though Portage doesn't use prebuilt binaries by default, it has extensive
support for them. When you ask Portage to work with prebuilt packages, it will
look for them in /usr/portage/packages. This location is defined by
the PKGDIR variable.
Source Code
Application source code is stored in /usr/portage/distfiles by
default. This location is defined by the DISTDIR variable.
RPM Files
Even though Portage cannot use RPM files, it is able to generate them using the
ebuild command (see The Ebuild
Application). The default location where Portage stores RPM files is
/usr/portage/rpm and is defined by the RPMDIR variable.
1.c. Building Software
Temporary Portage Files
Portage's temporary files are stored in /var/tmp by default. This
is defined by the PORTAGE_TMPDIR variable.
If you alter the PORTAGE_TMPDIR variable, you might want to alter the following
variables as well since they will not notice the PORTAGE_TMPDIR change. This
is due to how Portage handles variables: BUILD_PREFIX.
Building Directory
Portage creates specific build directories for each package it emerges inside
/var/tmp/portage. This location is defined by the BUILD_PREFIX
Live Filesystem Location
By default Portage installs all files on the current filesystem
(/), but you can change this by setting the ROOT environment
variable. This is useful when you want to create new build images.
1.d. Logging Features
Ebuild Logging
Portage can create per-ebuild logfiles, but only when the PORT_LOGDIR variable
is set to a location that is writable by Portage (the portage user). By default
this variable is unset.

Once you want to know Portage in-depth you need to know where it stores its
files and data.

Even though a 1949 amendment to Kentucky's state constitution raised public officials' annual salaries from $5000 to $12,000 per year, this is still far below the salaries of officials in other states. Efforts to pass additional amendments to raise the salary have failed, so instead the $12,000 salary has been reinterpreted as being in 1949 dollars, allowing a continual adjustment for inflation to make those salaries appropriate for the current economy.

Lions' O line paving the way for team's success
(Eds: With AP Photos.)
By LARRY LAGE
AP Sports Writer
ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions have had one of the NFL's best offenses this season, ranking among the league leaders in scoring and yards.
A new-look offensive line has a lot to do with that.
With three new starters, the Lions' revamped line is giving Matthew Stafford more time to throw and Reggie Bush more room to run. Entering the season, the unit was regarded as a weakness by people outside of the franchise. Through four games, it has been an asset.
"For four weeks, I guess we proved everybody wrong," guard Rob Sims said Wednesday. "We still got a long way to go. We knew what we had. We know what it looked like on paper. I understand why everybody felt the way that they felt because we weren't big-name guys."
The Lions lost last year's left tackle, Jeff Backus, to retirement. Detroit didn't re-sign right tackle Gosder Cherilus, who now starts for the Indianapolis Colts, and released right guard Stephen Peterman, who was cut by the New York Jets in August.
Detroit drafted Riley Reiff in the first round last year and defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh was confident the team would have a quality player at the key position to protect Stafford's blind side.
"Every single day of last year, nonstop going against Riley Reiff, you knew he was ready to step in at left tackle," Suh said.
While Reiff had his job locked up well before Week 1, the Lions gave several players a shot to start at right guard and right tackle. Rookie Larry Warford, a third-round pick from Kentucky, won the job at right guard.
"Larry is going to have some ups and downs and growing pains that all players are going to have, being that young," Sims said. "But he's doing a great job of handling the ups and lows. He's pretty even-keeled."
Jason Fox beat out Corey Hilliard to start at right tackle for the opener. Fox, though, had a groin injury in his first career start against the Minnesota Vikings and Hilliard replaced him.
"We even cut some guys that I think could have contributed," Detroit coach Jim Schwartz said. "I really like where those guys are. They do have a good personality. They protected well. They have also opened up some good holes in the running game. Rightfully so, a lot is made of Reggie and the yards he has gotten in the big plays. There are a lot of times he's in to the secondary without getting touched. That's credit to the offensive line."
Center Dominic Raiola, though, doesn't want anyone patting him or his linemates on their backs yet.
"We still believe we're a work in progress and we're going to stick to that," said Raiola, who has played for Detroit since ex-general manager Matt Millen drafted him in 2001. "Our work is never done. We have big-picture goals and goals within our room that we keep in our room. There's no satisfaction. The leaders in that room will never let it get to that."
NOTES: WR Kevin Olgetree signed a one-year contract with the Lions, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press. The person spoke Wednesday on condition of anonymity because the move had not been announced. ... The Lions kept S Louis Delmas (knee), CB Chris Houston (hamstring), WR Calvin Johnson (knee) and S Glover Quin (ankle) out of Wednesday's practice. ... DE Ezekiel Ansah (abdomen) and Sims (shoulder) were limited in practice while WR Patrick Edwards (right ankle), Fox (groin) and CB Rashean Mathis (head) were able to participate in all of the practice.

First successful flight
First, wow. This group is huge! I've been lurking and finally joined today. Took a while to decide where to post this, and probably will still put it in the wrong place.
So probably 8 months ago I bought a Parkzone Radian and on the first flight (which lasted probably 10 seconds) crashed it. Fixed it up, but thought I'd wait to get some help. So, a couple weeks ago, I attended the LEAF (Longmont Colorado) "learn to fly" day and had about 1 minute on a powered plane while it was in the air. But, the best suggestion was to get a simulator. So I did. Phoenix RC4. Spent a lot of time on it, and though I thought I should still wait for a trainer/partner to get first flight, I braved it this AM and went out to a local field. Two flights. Two great landings. No Gorilla glue necessary! I was pretty happy and just needed to share.
This is a great resource, and I really appreciate all the input from others. Seems like everyone in this hobby is very helpful.

|Aug 23, 2012, 11:44 AM
Welcome to the addiction! Those simulators are great, aren't they!? And the Radian is a great flyer, too. I recently had a chance to help a new guy buddy boxing him with his Radian. Such a smooth flyer. If I had more money and one less wife, I'd get one of my own!

The sailplane guys almost all recommend the Radian for a trainer.
Way to go on the flights! That's about the most nerves that you will experience. You survived. Try slope soaring gliders on the simulator, and you will learn pure flight skills. Amazing!
2-part epoxy is much stronger on foamies, than Gorilla glue. About $10 for a pair of bottles.
From the Radian, you can go into electric sailplanes, electric scale planes, electric aerobatics.... You can buy almost anything on the web. But research what will work, first.

Thanks guys. wuest3141, I just looked on the Phoenix software what slope soaring glider is. I guess you launch the thing from some altitude and somehow find the thing down below? Or maybe the idea is that there are enough thermals to keep it up high. I'll certainly give it a go. Crashing on the sim doesn't cost me anything.
I already bought another plane - T28 Trojan. It's been flown once, by someone else, so it's all set up for me, but that one I will definitely wait for a trainer to help on. The guy at the store did sell me some two part glue for it. Says it works much faster. Hope to not have to try it out too much. :-)
|Aug 23, 2012, 12:47 PM
radian is 3ch right? try out a high-wing 4ch before you maiden your t28.
|Aug 23, 2012, 02:02 PM
With what you've learned on a sim flying the Radian you can probably do without the help. I would still suggest seeking out help as mentors can be a valuable information resource and they can help you to not develop bad flying habits.

There ain't no feeling in the world like the feeling you get when you have your first successful flight. I remember mine like it was yesterday (because it pretty much WAS), and every time I put one of my planes up (see how quick the obsession grows?), it's a great feeling. LOVE seeing that P47 in the air...

Yeah, the first successful flight is memorable. For me though, the first time I landed my HZ Super Cub with no bounces and a nice flare at the end just stands out as a milestone.

I lost my first plane yesterday evening. I went out about 7:30 yesterday evening and about 5 min into my first battery my Champ wouldn't respond. It was about 60 or so yards away from me and when I went to turn it, it kept going straight away from me and wouldn't respond at all. I lost sight and have no idea where to look. There's an uncut cornfield next to where I was flying and I don't know if it made it across it and kept going or went down in it.I couldn't see because it went behind a row of pine trees.. I've been out walking the rows today anyways hoping for a miracle, but I guess it's long gone. I sure hated to lose it that way. It was my kick back and take it easy plane and what I had learned on, oh well, I guess that's part of it though. I sure had a lot of fun with that little Champ , mainly because I learned to fly on it and could fly it about anywhere, unlike my Supercub. I need a little more room for it.

varnish vs. polyurethane question
Hello! I'm new to this forum. I'm usually on the kitchen forum since we're in the middle of a diy complete remodel. But I have a question about varnish vs. polyurethane and thought this would be the place to ask! First, what is the difference between them? We bought some legs online from a place in vermont and fashioned our own desk end (didn't like the one we bought through the cabinet company). After talking to a guy at a local paint/stain supply place and based on a sample we did on scrap cabinet wood I bought varnish and put three coats on the legs and we installed. Now the counters are in so it's a little too late but it looks basically unfinished! I chose dull finish based on the sample we did in the store (our cabinets finish isn't remotely shiny and the sample matched well) but now I'm afraid I either used the wrong product (i.e. should have used polyurethane) or that my three coats of dull varnish won't sufficiently protect the wood. Any advice or guidance?
Thanks in advance!!!
Technically polyurethane is a kind of varnish. Varnishes are processed mixtures of oil and resin. Polyurethanes use synthetic resins, while what is usually called "varnish" uses natural resin. That aside, I'm not clear on what your problem is. Is it that you've changed your mind and now want a higher gloss? Did you expect a thicker, smoother coating? Three coats is usually plenty.
I guess I expected a thicker smoother coating. It still looks like raw wood to me...and still feels more like raw wood. I'm not sure what the difference was but in the store when we tried it on a sample of cabinet wood (but on what should have been an unfinished side) it felt smoother and felt "coated" so I was put off by what it feels like now. I just wanted to make sure we hadn't done something wrong I guess. It would be a shame if it got ruined because we didn't finish it properly...
For future reference, is there any advantage to one or the other?
Three coats is usually sufficient for protection, but won't give you much "build". If you want a thicker, smoother coating, try a rubbing polyurethane like Minwax. Poly is thicker than varnish, so each coat of poly is roughly equivalent to 2-3 coats of varnish, in my experience. You should be able to apply the poly directly over the varnish after a light sanding.
First question is---Did you use a 'clear' varnish? Oil based finishes generally add an amber tone to whatever is finished.
Water based and 'clear' oil based finishes are rather bland looking.
Wiping finishes by design are thinner than finishes intended to be applied with a brush or roller----necessitating twice the number of coats to achieve the same general protection/color of regular finishes.
In your case, I would get a small can of oil based satin varnish and add one coat to the legs to see if that fixes the color/quality of the finish.
The explanation Jon gave is correct---and three coats of any regular(non-wiping) varnish is the normal recommendation.
For what you are doing both finishes will work fine, most spray applied finishes are better but oh well. If your coats are rough it is because you aren't sanding between coats, 280 - 400 grit. Or you're getting airborne dust which is common with slow dry finishes such as you are using.
Regarding varnish vs polyurethane, I don't think you necessarily chose the wrong product. I'm curious about the dull finish you say you selected. I'm also curious to know if you sanded between coats. Varnish takes a while to dry, so it tends to collect bits of airborne dust, making the surface feel slightly rough when it's dry. Also, if it is a dull finish, I suspect it requires thorough and frequent stirring to keep the flattening agents suspended. This can introduce airbubbles that will also contribute to a less than smooth finish. By the description, dull finish would seem to indicate to me that it won't produce a shiny gloss finish, regardless of how many coats you apply. Would you consider a semi-gloss or gloss finish?
I would first do a light sanding of the surface with a fine grit sandpaper. Nothing coarser than 220, higher grit if you have it available. Once the surface feels smooth, make sure it's wiped very clean of all dust and apply a coat of either semi-gloss or gloss varnish. Hopefully this will give you the look and feel you are trying to achieve. Good luck.
Sanding sealers are typically used with varnish due to the thinness of the coating. This eliminates raising of the grain as new layers of varnish melt a bit of the previous coat raising the grain even after sanding between coats.
Poly does not do this amd does not require sanding sealer but does require scuffing between coats as it does not melt a bit of the previous coat.
