6 Last Minute Ways to Decorate The Thanksgiving Table
Happy Thanksgiving from the Furniture.com team! Chances are you're most likely rushing around to finish cooking and getting the house ready for guests. But don't let your dining table become a last thought for decor. We've got 8 great (and quick!) ways to easily decorate your Thanksgiving table. So you can do it in between cooking the turkey, the pie, the cranberry sauce, and the gravy. And if you're looking for more Thanksgiving tips, check out our Turkey Day cheat sheet.
Turn to Mother Nature
If it's an hour before guests arrive and you've got absolutely nothing in your home, it might be a bit too late to run to the store. Look no further than outside. There is probably limited plant life thriving outside -- but this is perfect for the seasonality of the Thanksgiving table. Grab your coat and head outside. Look for pine cones, pine branches, fall leaves, or acorns. There's a lot you can do with Mother Nature's beauty. We love some of these ideas below that transform basic napkin rings or candles into fall masterpieces.
Add to the Table Setting
A simple yet elegant way to add some flair to your Thanksgiving table is to add to the table setting with a striking artichoke or pumpkin. Have some extra vegetables or starches around? See how you can incorporate pears, apples, artichokes, pumpkins, or squash with the center of your plate. This will offer up a finished look to the table. Finish it off with a hand-written name card attached to the top of a pine cone or tied to the pear stem for a personal touch.
Find Some Paper
If you're not into the natural look, then find some paper and get your craft on. Cut up fun leaf or acorn shapes to scatter across the table -- like a Thanksgiving confetti. Or create leaf napkin rings like below. And if you have kids, this is a great activity for them during the day while you're cooking.
Get Painting
For a clean and modern look, try transforming your favorite Thanksgiving decor with some paint. We love how clean and elegant these white and gold painted pears look. Or stack painted squash and pumpkins in jars for a new approach to the Thanksgiving vase. By adding some metallics, you're sure to make any table setting more glamorous.
Start Crafting with Vegetables
If you have some extra vegetables or starches left over, put them to use on your candles. We love how fresh and natural these asparagus and string bean candles look. Create an assortment and place them throughout the table for a farmhouse look. Just make sure you put the vegetables low enough around the candle to avoid a fire hazard.
Kids Creativity
Get the kids to work with some creative drawing and art on butcher paper. You can use it as a runner on the table and it will keep them busy during the day! And to make sure it's ready in time, opt for markers or crayons so you don't have to worry about drying time.

How to Master This Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is the best time of the year to sit down with family, say thanks, and enjoy a deliciously prepared meal. But it can also be the best time for things to go wrong. Your dog could eat the turkey (it happens quite often!), your pie doesn't cook right, or there isn't enough seating. It seems like there are endless things that can go wrong. We've got some tips for you to make sure that you'll have a wonderful meal and a great time with family.
Gather Your Recipes
A week or two before Thanksgiving, lay out all the recipes you plan to use. Take inventory of all the ingredients you'll need across all of the recipes. This will help with a couple of things. First, you can check your pantry and fridge to see what you already have. Second, this will then help you create a master grocery list in advance. You may have to buy certain things in increments. For example, you may need to buy pears a couple days in advance for ripening. Try to avoid shopping at the grocery store at least a day before (or on the day of!) Thanksgiving.
Make a Schedule
While you have all of your recipes laid out, take notes of how long each dish takes to prepare. This will help you create a master calendar where you can block off the exact stages of food preparation. This way you'll know how early you need to wake up, how many helping hands you need in the kitchen, and when exactly dinner will be ready. Be sure to factor in time to set the table and add some décor items!
Going Shopping
Before you head out to the grocery store, group your grocery items by aisle. You're probably familiar with your grocery store layout so you can figure out which aisles you'd like to hit first. You'll have a fast and easy shopping trip. And don't forget your list!
Confirm the Guest List
If you're having relatives and friends come by for Thanksgiving dinner, make sure you confirm the guest list a couple days in advance. This will help you keep tabs on that grocery list and also make sure you can plan for extra seating if needed. You never know when an extra guest will tag along! And we've got some great ideas for extra seating.
Prepare Some Appetizers
Chances are guests will arrive early, or things may not finish cooking right on time. If you're still getting things ready as people arrive, this is a great time to have appetizers and cocktails ready. Have these out in the living room – away from the dining room and the kitchen. This way they will all gather in a separate room and you can "effortlessly" get everything together.
Creating a Cozy Winter Bedroom
It's winter and your bedroom should be cozy. And whether you need a cozy bedroom for functional purposes (heat doesn't quite work right?) or you just love that comfy winter look, it's the perfect time of the year to transform your bedroom into your snowy oasis. It's also another great way you can embrace the holiday staycation.
Layer, Layer, Layer
You know what they say -- if you want to be warm in the winter, pile on the layers. And the same rule applies to your bed. Embrace comforters, throw pillows, and blankets in softer and thicker fabrics -- like faux fur or cable-knit. You'll want to look for these in more neutral colors, like beige, gray, white, and brown to bring the outdoors in. If you want to add in some accent colors, look for more subtle hues like forest green, burgundy red, or slate blue. To keep the look consistent throughout the space, add extra pillows and blankets on to chairs or benches.
Lower the Lights
There's nothing that makes a room more cozy and intimate than lowering the lights. Try turning off your main lighting and go for table lamps or floor lamps. Look for lower wattage bulbs or lights that have dimmers -- these will give the space a nice soothing glow. And for an even more intimate effect, skip out on the lamps and lights all together and light some candles. Add a touch of holiday spirit with a pine or cinnamon-smelling candle.
Bring in Winter's Light
Bring winter's beauty inside! If your windows have good insulation, then open your curtains or blinds to show off nature's beauty. Fresh snow brings in a stunning white light – which you can in our winter bedroom inspiration photos. To keep your bedroom insulated, look for thickly-lined curtains or drapes in velvet or canvas.
Stay on Your Toes
It's almost impossible to be cozy if your feet are cold. A great pair of slippers always does the trick, but when it comes to your bedroom, look for soft and furry rugs. Such as faux fur or shag rugs in neutral tones. These rugs will be comfortable under your feet but also keep the space white and light.

Have a Holiday Staycation
Staying in town this holiday season? Often times the stress of packing, traveling, and being away from home can take all the relaxation out of vacation. Plan a holiday staycation instead and you won't be missing out on a getaway. We have some easy ways to transform your home into a winter wonderland so that you can relax and unwind, all from the comfort of your own couch.
Deck the Halls
The best way to embrace the holiday spirit in your home is to transform your place into a winter wonderland. No matter what you celebrate, bring out some seasonal or holiday-themed decorations and accents. Try out natural wreathes and garlands for a fresh, wintry smell. And add on some sweet-smelling candles like gingerbread or cinnamon. Take some tips from boutique hotels and opt for decorations that are elegant but not invasive. Like fresh floral or plant accents.
Bring on the Layers
You'll want your home to look super cozy for the perfect winter wonderland retreat. And the best way to do this is to add in extra throw pillows and throw blankets – even more than you may have now – for that perfect comfy and cozy winter look. Mix and match patterns or even add in a new color to shake things up a bit. Try for different sizes and shapes of pillows too. Mix and match larger pillows (like 20x20) with smaller pillows (like 16x16).
Holiday Tunes
It's the only time of the year you can get away with playing your favorite holiday tunes. We love classics like Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. Have them play softly in the background so you really feel like you're living in a holiday movie.
Host a Matinee
Host a holiday movie night at your home – complete with caramel popcorn, spiced apple cider, and roasted nuts. Invite friends and family over and turn up the coziness by using your fireplace or lighting some candles. And add on some fun! Make a game and keep tabs on how many times characters say a word like "holiday" and see who wins at the end.
Light a Fire
Have a working fireplace? Light it up to keep your home toasty and the holiday spirit high. And if you don't have a working fireplace, try filling your fireplace with birched wood to embrace the winter spirit. For a cottage look, stock 2-3 logs in the fireplace, and for a sophisticated and elegant look, stack the whole space with logs.

Hosting Holiday Get-Togethers with Limited Space
During the holidays, you need a lot more space. Space for guests, gifts, and of course -- food and drinks. Apart from Thanksgiving and holiday eve dinners, most family get-togethers take place in the living room. And you may realize that you're running tight with table space for kettle corn, hors d'oeuvres, board games, and egg nog. Here are some quick tips to get the most out of your limited space.
Squeeze in a Sofa Table
The sofa table is the perfect piece for small spaces -- especially around the holidays. It's narrow but has enough surface space for a variety of dishes and drinks. Try sliding it behind a sofa or against a wall. Usually sofa tables are 12-20 inches -- like the Shannon sofa table. Add on some holiday decor touches, like a tall vase of flowers or a wreath hanging above. It will help tie your look together.
Double-Up with a Side Table
Take advantage of your end tables for extra food and storage space. Move off any current items -- like lamps to make more space. And it's always good to look for side tables with two shelves so you can store extra board games or drinks. The best part? The second shelf will help minimize any additional clutter. We love the new Charo bar side table -- it's a must for holiday entertaining.
Try a Tray
Have an ottoman? Use it to your advantage! Ottomans are great for extra seating -- but it's also good for food and drinks. Just simply add a chic serving tray to avoid spills and you've got an extra spot for apple cider and gingerbread cookies. Or double-up with trays to get even more space for food.
Fitting in Decor
If you're crammed for space, you may be worried that you won't have room for holiday decor. But you will! Opt for tall and narrow decorations that will bring extra drama to your room but won't take up too much width or depth. Like winter branches or a tall vase with ornaments stacked. Or look to the walls! Wreathes or hanging ornaments are a great way to add on decor without taking away from extra space.

5 Tips for the Guest Bedroom Makeover
It's that time of the year again. Friends and family are popping by for surprise visits and overnights. Most of the year, your guest room is forgotten. It's probably used to store that treadmill or extra school projects. But during November and December, your guest room should be ready to become the perfect oasis. After all, you don't want your mother-in-law complaining of a bad mattress every morning!
Clean Up
You probably haven't used your guest bedroom in almost a year. Since then, you most likely have used the space for storage and miscellaneous items. The guest room usually becomes a catch-all and that's okay. But now it's time to clean it up and de-clutter. Try and find another location for any miscellaneous items or if it has to stay in the room, invest in chic storage bins that will help clutter look clean.
Make Your Bed
The first step is to choose a bed that is hypoallergenic, comfortable, and relaxing so that your guests feel right at home. Start with the mattress: everyone has different mattress preferences so find one that's in the middle of being too hard or too soft. That way it's likely to suit any guest's preferences.
And make sure you have a plethora of pillows – both soft and hard. This will help the room look homey but also help if your guests have a pillow preference. And with a combination of heavy comforters and lighter blankets, your visitors will sleep well whether they have a tendency to get too hot or too cold. And here's the true test: spend a night or two in the guest bed to see how you feel the next morning.
Give Them Space
You'll want to make sure your guests have storage space and table space for any unpacking or work that they need to do. You'll want at least one nightstand, a dresser for clothes and accessories, and if room allows – a desk where they can use the internet or catch up on work. Adding in these pieces will help them feel more at home.
In The Details
It's the smaller details that will really make your guest feel at home. From extra hangers in the closet, to fresh towels, to a bathroom stocked with fresh toiletries. Most likely your guest will have forgotten something. As the host, you should act as a hotel and make sure they have what they need.
Extra Space?
If there's extra space in the room, create a small reading nook or sitting area. This can take the form of a bench or wing chair. Either are great – but choose one that will work best in the space. This will allow your guests some "getaway" time from all the holiday craziness.
How to Maximize Seating During the Holidays
With Thanksgiving, football season, Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year's, and other gatherings, you'll be entertaining a lot more in the coming months. And most likely you'll have guests gather in the living room to be near the fireplace, the tree, or a holiday movie. And with more entertaining, comes more guests – and a need to maximize seating. Your sectional for six or sofa and loveseat may be more than enough during the year, but now you're scrambling to find seating for friends and family. We've got some tips to make sure everyone has a seat while your living room stays clutter-free.
Cocktail Ottoman
During the holidays, a larger ottoman becomes your best friend. The cocktail ottoman is usually square or rectangular and takes the place of the coffee table. When you need two to three extra seats, you'll be able to use your ottoman. And, with the addition of a serving tray, you can still use your ottoman for food and drinks. Having an upholstered ottoman in the center of your room also adds coziness and luxury to any room. Like the Diamondback cocktail ottoman shown below.
Accent Chair
If you've got the space for it, invest in one or two accent chairs. For a larger space, invest in two wing chairs to add a statement of elegance. For a smaller space, look for one or two slipper chairs in a fun color or fabric to add some pop. We love the sophisticated style of the Diamondback accent chair for some extra seating.
Small Ottoman
If you plan on keeping your main coffee table, then look for extra seating in smaller ottomans. These smaller ottomans are great because they tuck under furniture (for example a sofa table or coffee table). And they'll add a bit more visual detail and color to your living room. Like the Ritz ottoman, which is perfect for someone in a much smaller space.
If you've got a long or narrow space, a bench is a great way to add a lot of extra seating (usually about three to four per bench!). Like the Avenue bench. And when the holidays are over, you can store your bench somewhere else – like the foot of your bed. It's a great multi-purpose piece that you can use in any room of the house. And if your bench is high enough, you can use it in the dining room for extra seating.

Anan and the Governor Quinn fund-raisers . . .
End of the VMA era
By Jim Bowman
My friend Jake is in a lather about two recent Oak Park incidents. One was the commencement-oration declaration (an occurrence at OPRF stadium) by a high school board member who announced that we are progressive (Democrats) and "and it feels great to say it." Depends what you mean by progressive, said Jake.
The other, a few days later, was the e-blasted invitation by the village president to a fundraiser for the progressive governor of our great state, who many of us know is running for re-election in November. The affair is big bucks by most standards, costing from $150 to a cool grand. The latter gets you a place in the serried ranks of co-sponsors.
These sponsors are a distinguished lot: village presidents, president of high school board, assorted mayors of adjacent municipalities, etc. Here, in fact, they are:
[OP] President Anan & [spouse] Margi Abu-Taleb, [private citizen] Paul Gearen, Senator Don Harmon, 200th [sic] Board District President John Phelan, [OP trustee] Bob & [spouse] Vicki Tucker, [River Forest] Mayor [sic] Catherine Adduci, [Forest Park] Mayor Anthony Calderone, [Bellwood] Mayor Frank Pasquale, [Northlake] Mayor Jeffrey Sherwin and [Hillside] Mayor Joseph Tamburino
Quite an assortment, to be sure, all but two of them elected nonpartisans. Jake congratulates them for coming out of the major-party closet, shedding burdensome nonpartisanship for the real thing.
You are now electors of Democrats, he tells their respective voting publics, including and especially Oak Park, which threw the rascals out in the early '50s and swore off entangling alliances. This was the VMA revolution, which in a 1952 election managed to "wrest control of . . . government from alderman [sic] who seemed more beholden to outside interests than to our citizens."
Thank God those concerns have faded away, Jake says with that whiff of irony which he gives off so neatly, adding his opinion that it's a tribute to the growth of gummint. Now more than ever, it's good to be connected. Gummint money helps buy lots of good things for local gummint. Buttering your bread on the right (left) side matters.
Thus endeth the VMA revolution and its bold statement of principle, "One of the cornerstones of the VMA [Village Mgr. Assn.] has been the belief that the village board can best function if it is independent of partisan influences–whether from local interest groups or from outside political parties and pressure groups."
Forget. About. It.

Historical Traveler Reviews Rodeway Inn Maingate Kissimmee
A sense of loathing...
We left the UK with a sense of loathing, in light of the reviews we had read about this Hotel.This was the only part of the holiday I booked personally but I did not read the reviews before hand only coming across them after booking. Oh! Dear! What have I done I thought to myself.
However, on arrival all my fears and others reviews were cast aside.
Are party of 3 arrived at about 4.00am we were greeted by an awake and very helpful member of the reception staff.
We went to our room armed with air freshener ready to take on the reported smells, the room didn't smell, the carpet wasn't sticky everything was fine.
Anyone travelling from the UK I would say this is not any worse than a Travel Lodge, the beds were fine- linen changed everyday, the room cleaned, fresh coffee and tea, the bathroom cleaned, fresh towels, forget the breakfast, a bun, the coffee and juice is good...the best bit was the swimming pool, good size pool towels always available, heated also gets the sun best before 3.00pm no complaints on that score.
It may be a different place to stay in the height of Summer, we went 2nd. of Feb. 2005 to the 16th. no noise, relaxing etc. etc., we only ever stayed in to sleep and watch tele. but after a hard slog around the Parks you are too tired to do much else.
There is plenty of food and drink available at the petrol station next door
and the otherside of that is a chemist for those relaxing bath salts and foot massage treatments that you will need after standing in the queues alday.
Very Comfortable and Affordable
Just returned from Kissimmee and found this hotel very comfortable and very affordable. The room was very clean and the service was very good. It is well situated and has a nice pool in the center of the hotel buildings. It has an in room coffee maker as well as coffee,juice and muffins in the lobby every morning. They also provided a local newspaper each morning. We have visited this area many times and believe this hotel is the best one we have stayed at as an ecomony hotel.
Usually you get what you pay for but this hotel gives you extra value at a low price.
We are already planning our trip for next year and this hotel is in our plans as long as they don't increase their rates too much.
Never ever ever again
We Had 3 Rooms For 3 Days And 2 Nights. The Rooms Smelled Like Mildew And The Carpets Were Filthy. In One Room The Toilet Did Not Work And There Was No Hot Water. It Remained That Way Until Our Departure. The Staff Was Rude And Inefficient. The Pool Was Not Heated As It Stated On The Website And There Were No Remote Controls For The TV'S.
Never again
We choose the Rodeway in over other places that had better ratings because we thought it would suit our needs the best. I have two teenagers and a diebetic husband. We thought the continental breakfast would be a real timesaver and helpful to have close for early morning food for my husband. Their continental breakfast consisted of small, individually packaged jelly rolls/muffins, juice and coffee. The same every day. I don't think they should be able to bill this as "breakfast" of any sort. Also, we paid extra for a "deluxe" room ($12 per night) with a fridge and microwave. The staff was fixing the air conditioning when we got there, told us not to put anything heavy in the 2 drawers that the four of us were supposed to live out of for a week, and tried to find another room for us. They were full and we were stuck. Our beds sat on plywood risers with boards under them to level them out. Viewing the mattresses under the spreads you could easily tell they were shot. The carpet was old. There was an elongated toilet in the bathroom that the bathroom door did not fit past. You had to scoot the toilet seat over to get the door to open and close. This was not a new problem, there was a groove in the door from everyone else's struggles with the door and toilet. We had no water pressure and had to request a new shower head. We had chosen this room as part of a package deal and I was never so sorry I picked this hotel. The maintenance staff was the only saving grace for this place. They were quick, efficient and friendly. Very small TV. We stayed in Room 7220.
Not great!!
The old saying goes you get what you pay for!
When we first arrive we thought we are only here to sleep so it won't be to bad.The carpet was ripped and in bad shape I told kids to keep slippers on. The first night a spring about 3 inches long was sticking out of the bed and cut my daughters leg. We complained and they taped it down at once.
The next day my daughter overflowed the sink by accident which acctivated the worse stench of cat pee you can ever imagine. The smell was so bad that the kids were crying and on our only rest day we were moving to a new room.The new room we thought was a little better, it had a fridge and M.W
at no extra cost. We also had pool side! This was not good as that night we were up till 1:30 am
with screaming people running around the courtyard. When phoning to complain they did nothing and said the pool closes at midnight and it takes a while for it to settle down! That night we also noticed that my husbands bed was on 2 planks
of wood used to try and level it out! The kids continued to ram there legs into this as they walked by as it was covered by the bedspread!
The shuttle service was also a disaster running late 6 times out of the 12 days we were there.Continental breakfast is the same thing everyday muffin and juice.There were many other things that went wrong, to numerous to mention. But when we tried to complain to the general manager and asked for some kind of compensation for our pain and suffering we got no response at all! While checking out we refused to pay the resort fee which was 30.00 and the lady on duty went over his head and waved it for us.In Canada if this happened they would have waved alot more than 30.00!! We would never go back! We are returning next year and we will pay more even if it is just to sleep somewhere.
I'll never go there again
The price was great but the rooms were terrible. The first room that we were in had the smell of cat spray in it. It was horrible. We were moved to another room. Initially it looked better, in that it had a fridge and a microwave, but there were 2 planks holding the mattress on the boxspring. These 2 pieces of wood stuck out from the side of the bed and injured my youngest daughter. We left a note with the general manager about the problems but he did not get back to us in the 2 weeks that we were there. We will never to back to this hotel again, and we will never recommend this hotel to anyone else.
Stayed 5 nights at Rodeway Maingate
Just returned from Dec.16 thru 20 stay at Rodeway Inn Maingate. Around the Walt Disney World area, there are many brand name hotels in more than one location. For example, there are at least 3 different Days Inns and Howard Johnsons. There are two Rodeway Inns in this area, a large one on International Dr. and this smaller two story Rodeway on Irlo Bronson Dr. I stayed here as part of a package purchased on the internet. I paid an extra $8 per night for a small fridge and there was a small microwave. There is a large Y shaped swimming pool that was heated. The pool is 4 to 6', great for older children and teens, but too deep for very young children. There is no hot tub at this Rodeway and continental breakfast is a juice machine and pre-packaged muffins.
I thought the rooms and service were O.K. Two restaurants, drugstore and grocery in walking distance. Car rental on site and about 15 min.
drive to the Magic Kingdom. No elevator for second story. I would say we would stay here again, but as our experience at Disney was not worth the money, I doubt I'll stay in this area again.
Rodeway Suited are basic needs
We have just returned from staying at the Rodeway Inn Maingate. We stayed there for 10 nights. The cost was reasonable and the Rodeway catered for our basic needs. So if you are on a budget holiday this would be the ideal hotel for you.The first room we were put in was a non smokers room that was a basic room without a kitchen. The room was clean but was not the greatest of rooms it looked as though you had stepped back into time. As we are smokers we were immediately transferred into a smokers room with a full sized kitchen which was a bit more modern at no extra cost to us.Both rooms were very clean and the sheets were as well and we did not see any bugs only the occasional mosquito.The only problem was that our room was dark even with the lights on it was still very dark as there was only one small window. The toilet got blocked one night but it was fixed within minutes. There is also a maid service that cleans your room everyday.It can be quite noisy at times as well with the kids staying in the pool until late at night and up early in the morning.The hotel has two pools, a great hot tub, pool bar, games room and laundry facilities although we did not use the laundry facilities.The hotels staff were really friendly and if we had any questions or problems there was always someone there to help. I would give them 10 out of 10 for their service.It is also close to all the theme parks and there is a great IHOP restaurant next door that do great breakfasts. We especially love their pancakes.We would consider staying at the Rodeway Inn Maingate again in the future.
Ok for the money
We stayed here for 7 nights and for the money it was ok. The carpet was the only bad thing about the room. It turned the bottom of our socks black. Other then the carpet everything else was about what you'd expect for the price. If you have ever stayed at a La Quinta or Best Western this place is about the same.
We stayed there for 3 nights during the Labor Day weekend. The price was good. That's the main reason why we chose to stay there figuring we would be at Disneyworld from dusk til dawn. The location was great.
It's close to shops, restaurants and of course Disneyworld. We did not spend much time in our room. Well, we would not want to anyway. The carpet was old and had lots of stain. There were bugs inside the rooms.
Our sheets were ok. Howerver, our friends who stayed in another room told me that they felt itchy underneath their sheets. Our air con was broken while we were there. And it got fixed promptly before we hit the bed that night. We would want to pay a little more and stay at a better hotel next time.

Adding a New Service
I have written an SMS system in Java. I want to
execute that system as a background service in
Linux. My system is in a *.jar file. How can I do it
as a service in Red Hat?
Kasun Perera
You need to create a script file that you would put in
the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directory. It must have a very
specific format, as clearly indicated on this page:
I suggest that you look at other scripts
in that directory to grasp the general format
of the file, especially the first 15 lines or so.
Felipe Barousse Boué
When starting a new service, I like to
copy the init script for SSH, because it's
usually the simplest. Put in whatever commands
you need to run to start your program from the
command line. For example, you might need to set
some environment variables to run a Java program.
Run your init script from the command line to make
sure it starts and stops your new service
correctly, then use your distribution's tool for
managing runlevels to make it run at startup.
Use chkconfig on Red Hat.

Speeding Up Webmin
I use Webmin and ZoneMinder on my P4 2.2GHz, 1GB RAM system,
and the response is less than what I would expect. Is there a way to
speed up the loopback device?
Howard Watts
I just upgraded some Webmin systems to the
latest Webmin, 1.140 at the time of this writing,
and I noticed a substantial speed improvement in
operation. I upgraded all modules as well. All this
was done directly from within Webmin.
Felipe Barousse Boué
The only lag on the loopback device is traversing the TCP stack;
this should be very fast. If you see performance issues, you may want to
look at a program called top (see man top) to see if there are any
out-of-control processes.
Christopher Wingert
It is highly unlikely that the loopback device is the culprit. It's
more probable that there's something else causing the performance lag,
network function or otherwise. Perhaps it's having timeout issues due
to failed DNS lookups or something similar?
Timothy Hamlin
Winmodem: Hack or Replace?
I can't get my modem to work. I have a Creative Labs Blaster v92 PCI
internal modem. Linux recognized a Conexant chipset and attempted
to install the driver, but I received an error message. Should I try
installing SuSE Pro 9.0 instead?
Probably the easiest and most advisable solution
is to purchase a very inexpensive modem that is not
a Winmodem. You probably would get a better setup
with less complex stuff, and you will get a modem that
will last for many future Linux generations. Besides,
you will show manufacturers that we all want standard
modems, not proprietary ones.
Felipe Barousse Boué
It's almost never necessary to upgrade your entire operating system
simply to support a device. Without knowing the exact chipset you are
using, I can suggest only that you first determine if yours is a full
hardware modem or a so-called Winmodem. I suspect it is the
latter, because if it were a full hardware modem you probably wouldn't
be having any issues. Rather than updating your Linux distribution,
figure out which driver it was attempting to load and then go to the
Web to find an updated driver. Winmodem support under Linux is
ever-increasing (see www.linmodems.org for a good place to start).
If you are lucky, you will be able to find a newer, working,
version of the driver you are looking for—and save yourself a lot
of trouble to boot.
Timothy Hamlin
Are you looking for a tweaky project to help you
understand Winmodems, or do you simply want a Net
connection? Have a goal in mind before you decide
between the above two answers, and remember that if
you upgrade, you may need to redo your modem setup.
Don Marti
Getting Started
I would like to learn Red Hat 9. Can I install Red Hat
9 software and Windows 2003 server (Beta) software
on the same PC? My PC is a Dell PIII with 700MZ,
6GB hard drive and 128MB of RAM. I know I will need to
partition the hard drive. I saw the software for sale
on Amazon.com for about $70 US. I am new to this and
am trying to learn, so any assistance is appreciated.
Yes, you can install Linux and Windows on the
same machine to create what is called a dual-boot system. There are some details to watch,
though. Red Hat 9 has been discontinued so, to play
with Linux and and learn, I would get Fedora Core 1
(Red Hat-sponsored) instead. You can download it
from fedora.redhat.com.
Felipe Barousse Boué
The easiest way to try Linux is download
Knoppix from knoppix.org. This allows you to
try Linux and not impact your hard drive.
Most distributions can be downloaded for free,
including Red Hat 9. You may want to search for a
more up-to-date distribution such as Fedora Core 2.
Christopher Wingert
I haven't personally tried setting up a boot manager with Windows 2003 server and don't intend to, but I have heard of several people doing so successfully. The procedure seems the same as with earlier versions of Windows. Here are the main things you need to be aware of:
1) Knoppix includes QtParted, a free software partition editor. The interface is not as polished, but QtParted does just as good a job of partition editing as PowerQuest's PartitionMagic and other proprietary programs, and you might as well get in the spirit by doing the job with free software. Knoppix, incidentally, makes a great rescue disk.
2) You'll want at least one partition for Linux and another of 125MB for a swap partition. Opinions vary about how to partition, with some people favoring putting the /home, /var and other directories on separate partitions. However, because you're just starting out, perhaps you want to use only one.
3) You might also want a FAT32 partition so that you can share files between your operating systems.
4) If Windows isn't already installed, install it first, right after you partition the drive. Windows does not tolerate another operating system during installation. You can work around the problems, but it's easier just to avoid them altogether.
5) When you're installing, make sure you install the GRUB boot
manager. The installation automatically detects the presence of
Windows, and the boot manager loads when the machine starts and offers
you a menu for choosing which operating system you want to start.
Bruce Byfield
You don't need to resize your existing partitions with a partition editor if you're installing from scratch. All Linux distributions include a basic partitioning tool. If you do use a partition editor, keep in mind that if it fails you may lose important data. Make sure to back up your existing system first, and check that the backup is good before resizing any partition. Alternatively, as Rick Moen suggests, once you have a backup, you might as well just restore it to new partitions and save yourself the partition resizing step entirely.
But, your 6GB drive is too small to run two current operating systems comfortably. You might want to add a new, larger drive for Linux.

Children wait
November is Adoption Awareness month. For more than 20 years those involved with adoption have set this time aside not only to honor those who have opened their hearts and homes to become "Forever Families," but also to remind us that there are, on any given day, more than a half million children across the United States in foster care and a high number of those children will not be able to return home. When that happens, these children become available for adoption.

From the time it was enforced, the restaurant tax has brought in over $4 million. Where is the accounting for this money? It has come from people who eat in our local restaurants. To date I am not aware of any thanks having been expressed to the restaurants or customers.

The princess, who is seventh in line for the British throne and the only royal living stateside, hit up the Dolce & Gabbana 19th Annual Artwalk NY Benefit Coalition for the Homeless on Tuesday.
"She looked totally relaxed mingling in the New York charity and art scene," said an onlooker.
The princess, who is the daughter of Prince Andrew and Fergie (the Duke and Duchess of York), chatted with a handful of girlfriends and appeared to be without security according to the onlooker. She wore New York's signature black and looked chic with her short shaggy auburn hair.

She may no longer be Richard Gere's pretty woman, but for Carey Lowell, life goes on.
The 52-year-old actress has made her first public appearance since news broke that she and Gere, 64, were calling it quits after 11 years of marriage.
On Tuesday night, Lowell attended the 19th annual Artwalk NY gala in downtown New York City. Dressed in a floral dress, black trench coat and strappy heels, she arrived solo to the charity event, which benefits the Coalition for the Homeless.
Lowell was a cochair for the benefit, alongside Alec and Hilaria Baldwin and model Coco Rocha. Interestingly, Gere was listed as the honorary chair for the event, although he was not in attendance.

Linnea Johansson Blogs About Making Your Home Party-Ready

Celebrity event planner and chef Linnea Johansson knows how to throw a party. She's worked with A-list stars such as Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon and Justin Timberlake and just released her second book, Perfect Parties – Tips and Recipes from a New York Party Planner in October. Now she's lending her expertise to PEOPLE.com with two blogs geared toward your holiday party planning. Cheers!
When planning a holiday party or a bash for any time of year, you may want to start with an easy, inexpensive dining room makeover.
Giving your old chairs a new look in no time to spruce up your dining room for the holidays and/or any party occasion. Simply wrap fabric against the back of the chairs and then staple the fabric on the inside of the back ... and you have new chair slip covers in a jiffy. This works great at home, and you can easily create a new look for a room.
This trick has saved me many times. I once did an event for the Food Network to honor their stars. There was not much to do on the food end as all the show hosts and chefs sent over their recipes for a menu. The space was beautiful but the chairs I rented arrived in the wrong color. So I had to do a little last minute dining room makeover. My team and I rushed out and got fabric from the office and did a quick makeover for the chairs right before the guests started to arrive.

Leaving the familiarity of high school for the uncharted waters of college is one of the most exhilarating, albeit terrifying, ventures of any young person's life.

The basketball from Mark Heimerdinger's 400th career coaching victory at Cardinal Dougherty rests unceremoniously atop a file cabinet in his office at Samuel Fels High School.

Nice, definitely conveys that sense of isolation and despair you were going for! I really like the flute at 01:19, very mystical and desoate.
Some things I reacted on:
The mix felt a bit odd, the woodblocks sound very "in your face" while the rest of the intstrument have a lot of reverb on them. The orchestration is very nicely varied, but the more majestic sections I felt called for more middle register, though it's perhaps a mixing problem as well. The track could have really used some humanization of the MIDI - some randomness to the velocity, expression/aftertouch at the very least on wind instruments etc, either through hand-editing or a keyboard.
Thanks for your review. I will keep your comments in mind in future projects.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
love the track!
I would be very interested in using it for background music in a youtube video if you wouldn't mind :) If that's ok please reply and tell me how you would like to be credited in the video, and if there are any sites that you would like me to link.
I sent you pm, but in case you missed it. Yes you may use my piece in any non-commercial project. You can credit me as jpops. A link back to my NG page would be nice, but not necessary. When you post your video, I'd like a link so I can see how it was used.
Thanks, and good luck on your project.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Intriguing, yet Beautiful
If it was your intention to make this seem like a forest or a jungle scene, you DEFINITELY hit the mark. As I listened to this, I imagined myself all stranded on an island, yet.. I sense someone near me just.. observing.
I can't shake the feeling, and I keep on running; glancing over my shoulder now and then.
Only certain pieces have made me feel like this.
Good job.
Thank you very much. Your review is very descriptive, I appreciate that. Kudos for catching that feeling of dread, I was going for that, but in a subtle way. Thanks again for your review.

Thousands of Florida-strain bass released in surrounding waters
February 17, 2011 at 9:08 am | Mobile Reader | Print
Wildlife and Fisheries biologist Tim Ruth releases 6-7 inch bass in grass beds along the shoreline in the Lake Cataouatche area.
"This is not a restocking program. We have been conducting a Florida-strain bass genetic survey since 2003, Ruth said. We are now in Phase II of our program."
Wildlife and Fisheries agents started their day Thursday morning at the Lacombe fish hatchery. Water in a holding pond had been drawn down, enabling agents to seine the pond and catch 2,000 Florida-strain bass. The bass were then placed in oxygenated tanks and transported to the boat launch at Bayou Segnette State Park in Westwego.
"With the temperatures in the mid 30s, the metabolism of the small fish tends to slow down and increase the survival rate, Ruth said. The agents had to get into the cold water to catch the fish but that's part of our job. We have released over 7,800 fingerlings within the past three weeks.
We met at the Bayou Segnette State Park boat launch around 1 p.m. Thursday afternoon. The temperature was 36 degrees with a wind chill of 30 degrees. After an hour of unloading the small fingerlings into the boat tank, we headed out to Lake Cataouatche.
Along the shorelines of the lake, Ruth, Gary Vitrano and Matt Duplessis began looking for grass beds.
"The grass beds allow quick cover for the small fish to survive, Ruth said. Birds and larger fish make quick meals of them if released in open water.
With Duplessis at the helm, we quickly released all 2.000 bass within an hour. At 4 p.m., we were back at the dock with a job well done.
With that, the departments 2011 update has concluded. A combination of 14,000 Florida bass fingerlings have been released from 2003 to 2005, all prior to hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Gustav, and Ike.
Nine thousand were released in 2010 and 7.800 in 2011. The bass range in size from 4-10 inches in length. The fingerlings are being released as part of a 3-year study and agents will take liver samples of bass in the area to allow biologist to monitor growth rates and the identification of species.
Largemouth bass were collected by electrofishing in the Spring of 2010. The genetic samples taken determined Florida bass from sub species. Samples were taken from 36 locations in the lakes and surrounding bayous.
The results of the surveys will determine the best management strategies for largemouth bass in the area.
"Growing up as a young fisherman, I always wanted to catch a trophy bass...10 pounds and upward, Ruth said. To do so, a Louisiana fisherman had to fish in Florida water. Now I see Florida license plates at the boat launch.
It proves our program is working. Florida fishermen come to Louisiana to catch trophy bass.

Gallery: Valerie Hegarty Uses Recycled Materials to Create Haunting Wor...
Hegarty's artwork is a little disorienting at first. When approaching her pieces, they first appears to be extremely damaged historical artifacts that have been overtaken by nature or natural disaster. Upon closer inspection, we can see that this "damage" is Hegarty's expert ability to create the look of singed canvas, waterlogged wood, or overgrown foliage.
New Yorkers could see an example of her style of depicting branches growing through a canvas, with her piece "Autumn on the Hudson Valley with Branches," that hangs outside on a fence on the High Line Park. Set within the lush backdrop of the High Line, the branches emerging through the shredded canvas seems like a beautiful accident, harmonizing with the park.
Hegarty's new pieces continue this process using recycled materials. Entitled "West Rock with Branches," a large landscape painting greets visitors as they enter her studio. As if to return to the Earth, the frame of the painting morph seamlessly into twisted tree branches that coil around each other below the painting, as if the landscape were a living, growing being.
Two of her new pieces have a nautical theme, using techniques to emulate water damage. The frame of a painting of big sailed ships deteriorates before our eyes, the painting slashed much like the damage sails endure on the high seas. More impressively, the artist has transformed a massive used wooden wardrobe into a detailed relic that appears to have spent many years on the ocean's floor. Faux barnacles and decay adorn the piece, enlivening our imaginations of the decadent ship that once held the armoire.
In the center of the room is perhaps the most striking piece, comprised of a painting hung over a vintage coffee table. As if caught in a massive, melting fire, the painting is singed almost in two, dripping onto the table below which has also been split and melted. The piece is at once powerful, but also inspires an incredible possibility of narratives.
Valerie Hegarty has the fantastical ability to create artistic beauty in the form of decay. Her unique works are gorgeous, but also evoke history, tragedy, and wonder, leaving the viewer with much to ponder. Hegarty's work is currently on view at Marlborough Gallery in Chelsea through May 5, 2012.
