Warp Records Celebrates 20th Anniversary
They even dragged Aphex Twin out of his tank!
By Tom Breihan on March 26, 2009 at 1:50 p.m. EDT
Warp Records, the English electronic music/experimental rock powerhouse, turns 20 this year, and the label is marking the occasion in some big ways. Before the year is out, Warp will release both a retrospective box set and an interactive greatest-hits album, and they'll throw parties on three different continents.
For most of its history, Warp was known mainly as an IDM label, the place where Aphex Twin and Autechre and Plaid and LFO and Boards of Canada all cranked out their alternately jittery and placid beat symphonies. In recent years, the label has branched out into more instrument-based fare like Grizzly Bear and !!!. According to a Warp rep, one of the releases the label plans for its 20th anniversary is "a deluxe box set featuring previously unreleased archive material from some of the label's best-known artists." I'm really hoping the box runs chronologically, so we'll get, like, three discs of jackhammer drum-machines phasing between speaker channels before, I don't know, Max誰mo Park shows up out of nowhere.
The label also plans to release a compilation album, with 10 tracks chosen by fan voting (the rest will be picked by Warp founder co-founder Steve Beckett). At this website, you can vote for which songs will make the cut. As I'm writing this, the Boards of Canada track "Happy Cycling" tops the list. There's also a Vincent Gallo track in the top ten, something I have to imagine won't stand for too long. (I'm thisclose to launching a voting campaign for Aphex's "Avril 14th".) If you like, you can leave "personal messages and memories" about the songs you're picking, and they might make it into the album's packaging. ("Dude, I got so stoned jamming on 'Bucephalus Bouncing Ball', you don't even know.") Warp plans to release the album this fall.
The label is also planning big events in five cities around the world. Thus far, they've only announced details for one of them. In Paris, on May 8-9, a gang of Warp acts will perform at the Cite de la Musique. Thus far, the lineup looks like a monster: Aphex Twin & Hecker, !!!, Pivot, Andrew Weatherall, and DJ Mujava, with more acts to be announced. There will also be a homecoming party in Sheffield, England in August. And the label also plans "music, film, and art installation events" in New York (July), London (September), and Tokyo (November).

The Gray Lady's online arm moves to diversify its revenue streams.
NYTimes.com, long a pioneer in online advertising, will move op-ed and news columnists, along with other premium content, behind a subscription wall in September. The move indicates that, despite the boom in online advertising, the company sees a need to diversify its revenue streams.
The new offering, called TimesSelect, will launch in September and be available for a $49.95 annual fee. New York Times home delivery subscribers automatically receive free access. Besides the op-ed and column content, subscribers will get admission to the online archives; exclusive access to multimedia features, including podcasts; and early peeks at articles in Real Estate, the New York Times Magazine, Travel and Sunday Arts.
"TimesSelect combines the insights and ideas of distinctive voices from the Times and [the International Herald Tribune] with seamless access to our archives in an unprecedented way and at a terrific price point," said Martin Nisenholtz, senior vice president of digital operations, in a statement. "At the same time, by keeping the majority of the site free, we will continue to scale the business through strong advertising growth."
Since NYTimes.com launched in the mid-90s, the site has always been free to U.S. users who registered. Though it's concentrated most extensively on generating advertising revenues -- recently acquiring About.com in an effort to increase inventory -- the company has long toyed with the prospect of charging a subscription fee. With the new configuration, NYTimes.com hopes to maintain the reach of a free site while also raking in subscription revenues. It will also have the opportunity to sell higher-CPM advertising to those eager to reach TimesSelect subscribers, who will presumably be a fairly well-to-do group.

The fractional aircraft business is fascinating, in part because it is founded upon several myths, partial-truths and artificial constructs that are both pleasing for owners and profitable for providers. In many ways, fractional flying is more akin to using an executive airline than to owning a whole aircraft.
Flying » Fractional Jet Ownership
August 1, 2007
June 1, 2007
Fractional owners opt out of their contracts early for many reasons. You may have sold an out-of-town business and so charter or a jet card may better serve your reduced needs. Maybe you're flying more than you expected and it makes sense for you to purchase a whole aircraft.
April 1, 2007
While the major fractional providers are still selling plenty of business-jet shares, recent reports indicate that they're also repurchasing existing shares at a rapid rate. As a result, net growth (sales minus repurchases) is at the lowest level in years.

Timmy (not his real name) is a four-year-old cancer patient. He cannot fly commercially due to his condition. But he must travel several times a year for treatment between his California home and Duke University Hospital in Raleigh-Durham, N.C.
December 1, 2006
Is fractional ownership right for you? Or would a jet-card program, a block-charter card program, on-demand charter or maybe even whole-aircraft ownership better suit your needs?
"You're absolutely right—and you can't stand up in your [expletive] Rolls-Royce, either."
-William Lear, in the early '60s, replying to a man who complained that he couldn't stand up in the original Lear Jet

World Briefing | Asia: Japan: Hiroshima Anniversary
Published: August 7, 2002
The mayor of Hiroshima criticized the United States and urged a worldwide ban on weapons of mass destruction, as thousands gathered to mark the 57th anniversary of the world's first atomic bomb attack. In the annual ceremony at Peace Memorial Park, Mayor Tadatoshi Akiba said, ''The United States government has no right to force Pax Americana on the rest of us, or to unilaterally determine the fate of the world.'' The Hiroshima bomb, dropped on Aug. 6, 1945, killed about 140,000 people and sickened hundreds of thousands.

Cheap Window Boxes
...is that a paradox? Apparently so
I am attempting to add some curb appeal to my husband's shop/office while he is away for the week (it is his birthday surprise) and of course I am on a budget.
I thought I would do window boxes and a planted urn at the entrance, however the 2 windows are 45 inches wide and window boxes at that length are ridiculously expensive. Does anyone know of a source or have any ideas.
The entrance is a blank slate and since we rent the space I don't want to go overboard, just want to make it more inviting.
Thanks in advance
I had the same problem when I was trying to buy window boxes for my MIL's house. I shopped all over the internet and locally. The larger size ones are expensive. I ended up having my husband make them - which of course doesn't help you.
Maybe you could go another route with decorating the areas below the windows. Mandevilla growing up trellises would be pretty and easy.
Thanks for the suggestions...my mom ended up with the Mandevilla~
I found two iron 36" window boxes on sale for $25 each and went for it...I put a dwarf Boxwood, white Geraniums and a trailing Licorice vine. I also found an old urn at my husband's shop and put a 2- balled topiary in it with white wave Petunias...mission complete...it looks better than it did. I hope he will be surprised. Thanks for all the input.

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas
If you're looking for a boutique luxury resort in Las Vegas, especially one located right on the Las Vegas Boulevard a.k.a. "The Strip", look no further than The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. Strategically emerged in between Las Vegas City Center and The Bellagio, this $3.9 billion hotel is the newest luxury resort Casino in Las Vegas, and to me, probably the most stylish, fashionable, and happening hotel in Sin City now.
I've never been a big fan of Las Vegas, to be honest. What others consider as dazzling, fun, and eye-opening, I think of Vegas as superficially shallow, boring, or fake. The man-made wonders of miniature New York, Paris, Rome and Venice are too Disney-like for me. The all mighty golden lion statue at MGM and the giant Sphinx of old Egypt are mere "sights or attractions" where bus loads of tourists stop by to take pictures. I've never taken a liking to all these mega hotels, their all-you-can-eat buffets, and the theme-park like amenities. I wish that there are more hotels and resorts which have a more unique character instead of cookie-cutter Las Vegas themed resorts.
The thing I like most about The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas is that it almost doesn't fit the bill to be a hotel on the Strip. It has no theme, the tall glass building is generic-looking, there is no volcano eruption, fountain dance, or pirate show every 30 minutes. The ultra modern decor, the room and the vibe might well place it as a high-end boutique hotel one will find in Manhattan, Chicago, or downtown Los Angeles, even Tokyo, Shanghai, or Hong Kong, which is ultimately the reason why I adore it. Staying there doesn't remind me that I'm in Vegas, as long as I don't pass by the casino.
We stayed at the Fountain View Terrace Studio because of our 2-year old. He is presently obsessed with fountains, and for his second birthday, we promised him big fountain that dances. It didn't disappoint the little one. He had a blast watching the Bellagio Fountain show every night, high up from the 28th floor. And I absolutely didn't mind the show, it was liberating to say the least, to have a "private" viewing of the Bellagio Fountain show without elbow fighting for prime real estate down at the ground level where everyone communes. If not for the water show, the views at night—and even day time—from our balcony was simply spectacular.
The studio is spacious and decked out with a kitchenette, a small sitting area, and a huge bathroom with bath tub looking outside. There is only one thing to complain about the room: WiFi service is not included. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise as I indulged in lounging about on the sofa, at the balcony, reading the many beautiful coffee table books on various artsy subjects.
For the foodies out there, the roster of restaurants by celebrity chefs and rising culinary stars is sure to please. For the shopaholics, Crystals at the Las Vegas City Center is merely a five minute walk away from where high-end couture and luxury brands beckon. In less than one year since its opening, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas has quickly established itself as one of the trendier spots on The Strip. The modern design and cool-factor attract younger crowds, singles, trendsetters, and hipsters alike. Even though it's not the most kid-friendly, families might still find it rewarding, especially if they reserve a room with a view of the fountain.

I love your blog, its great to have a real resource for asian cooking. I agreed and enjoyed your review of the cosmoplitan hote in las vegas. I prefer hotels without a Disneyland theme. Thanks for your post.
If you ever ended up in Cosmo, make sure you get the fountain view and lower floors. The view is better at lower floors and you can still hear the sound effects. Fantastic!
This place looks amazing

Daniel Bryan wins IC title
In the opening match of Wrestlemania, Daniel Bryan defeated Dolph Ziggler, R Truth, Wade Barrett, Cody Rhodes, Dean Ambrose and Luke Harper in a ladder match to win the Intercontinental Championship. WWE expected a great performance here, and that is exactly what they got. Lots of good spots. Very high impact. The end saw Bryan and Ziggler trading stiff headbutts on top of the ladder before Bryan knocked out Ziggler.

IC title stolen
For those of you that have not been attending live events lately, WWE is routinely running the angle where the Intercontinental Championship keeps getting stolen by the performers who will compete for the belt in a ladder match at Wrestlemania. Cody Rhodes worked a match against Goldust in Erie on Saturday. While that was going on, Dolph Ziggler ran out from the backstage area and stole the title. Story will continue on Monday Night Raw.

Cody Rhodes at Wrestlemania
It looks like the big rematch between the brothers might not happen at Wrestlemania after all. WWE changed up the script again, and it looks like Cody Rhodes will be in the ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship instead. Goldust has yet to be added, but there is a good chance that he will be because he teased a title chase on social media earlier in the week. Time constraint could be a possible reason for erasing the rematch.

There are now talks that a special stipulation could be added to bring even further interest from the audience. Rumors are stating that WWE could have this become a retirement match. While he has denied it publicly, the older Rhodes brother is expected to retire.

In the second match of Fast Lane, Goldust was able to get the pin fall victory over his brother Cody Rhodes, whose loss was protected because it seemed that the three count came out of nowhere. WWE was hoping for a better reaction from the audience, but the story hasn't been told well enough to get the crowd to invest themselves. In a backstage segment after the match, Stardust assaulted his older brother in front of Dusty Rhodes.

Growing a Bramble
I have an empty area in my yard that I would like to grow a bramble of raspberry and blackberries in. This would be mainly for the local birds to eat, maybe a few for me if I like them.
There is a bramble patch in a nearby field that will soon be bulldozed over. I'm not sure if they're raspberries or blackberries. Picture attached.
Would it be wise to avoid these, or is grabbing wild plants not such a bad idea?
Judging by the colour of the canes I would say that is black raspberry. If they are quite thorny thats what it is. They are very good to eat. The tips of the canes that have grown into the ground will have rooted. That is the best way to transplant them. Dig up the tip and cut the cane and you have a new plant :)
The color of the canes did catch my attention, and while I'm not a big eater of fruits, I should make more of an effort to do so.
Problem is, the birds around here know better then I when something ripens, and by the time I find out it's ripe, it's pretty much all gone! I guess that's the thanks I get for keeping their feeders stocked and their bath full, LOL.
If the rain holds off, I may get them tomorrow.

Why spend $160,000 on summer school? Is it worth that much money? Yes.
However, if you don't believe me, ask Kara or Dakota.
These elementary children attended the 4-week session last summer and have reaped the benefit this school year as a second-grader and fourth-grader, respectively.
What benefit? The ability to read.
In communities across the nation, cemeteries are dying.
That's what happens when the living fail to honor, preserve and restore their local cemeteries. It's also the result when cemetery boards fail to keep the cemetery alive and vital by investing in surrounding property for the future and providing opportunities for the living to honor and preserve the resting place of the dead.
Grove Hill Cemetery in the center of Shelby County is alive and well.
I was in Freedom Hall the night Anderson County played for the state basketball championship. It was the place where I heard Muhammad Ali say he wanted to fight George Foreman and Joe Frazier on the same night.
I saw Julius Erving, then of the Virginia Squires, do things with a basketball that I had never seen and still can't describe. I have been to several concerts there, and I watched Richie Farmer make string music at the state finals 23 years ago.
Gatton Academy of Mathematics and Science at Western Kentucky University will enroll its third student from Shelby County Public Schools when the 2011-2012 school year begins next fall.
Sam Saarinen, a sophomore at Shelby County High School, has been selected for the incoming junior class and for the 2013 graduating class. Sam, the son of Tim and Anne Saarinen is following in the footsteps of Chris Obermeyer, who is now at Duke University, and Katherine Goebel, who graduates this spring.
This letter, signed by the 2011 senior class at Shelby County High School, was submitted for publication by Lane Taylor.
Rockets say "thanks but no thanks" to the arrogance parade at graduation.
He called out, "Brother Collins!" This was my first interruption during a worship service in 18 years of ministry. I was surprised, to say the least.
It was Easter, 1978. We were celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ at the First Christian Church. The music was fantastic, the scripture and sermon were inspiring, and the hymn of invitation brought nine people to the front of the sanctuary.
The news from Frankfort regarding funding for education has been as gloomy as the recent weather. Last fall we received the news that half of the district's professional development funds would not be coming from the state. In mid-winter we were notified that the school district was losing more than $500,000 in funding for the current school year. Then about a month ago, we received notice of more than $300,000 in reduced state revenue for next year.
How do we plan for such shortfalls?
That's a tough one to answer.
his open letter of April 18 from the 2011 senior class of Collins High School to the administration at Collins High School was provided to The Sentinel-Newsby Elizabeth Sames:
On behalf of the 2011 Senior Class of Martha Layne Collins High School, we would like to formally object not only to the decision to eliminate class ranking from the seating of graduation, but also the fact that our classmates including valedictorian, salutatorian, and class officers will not be able to speak to their peers as we come together this final day.
During the past several decades, we have had a number of court rulings:
§ School-sponsored prayer or Bible reading.
§ Removal of creches from public property.
§ Ending the Pledge of Allegiance as mandatory.
§ Removal of the Ten Commandments from public property.
I wholeheartedly support Linda Allewalt in her efforts concerning removal of the Ten Commandments from the walls of Shelbyville's government buildings ("Ten Commandments must come down," April 20).
I don't understand the reluctance in taking it down – unless it's a daily reminder to the religious government employees who might forget? Let's go through the list itself as it
might apply to a government building:

When you're an Australian writer-director making a Mayan end-of-civilization epic in the middle of a Mexican jungle, who do you ask to do the hair and makeup for hundreds of non-English speaking actors? Why, a pair of Italians, of course. "The research started in the classic way, with museums, the Internet and history books," says makeup designer Vittorio Sodano, who teamed with Aldo Signoretti for the formidable assignment. "From that point, we started studying the Mayan pyramids and thousands of pottery vases with illustrations that represented scenes from normal Mayan life," Sodano explains. "We learned that every single tattoo and scarification has a singular meaning. The simple designs worn by Jaguar Paw and his tribe represent the hunting life of the jungle, while decorative tattoos had only religious meanings. As he travels into the city and interacts with the higher classes, the designs become more complex and the jewelry more elaborate."Why it'll win: Besides earning bonus points for historical accuracy, the detailed hair and makeup design serves as an extension of the characters, revealing who they are and where they come from. Why it won't: Judging from the last three winners ("The Chronicles of Narnia," "Lemony Snicket" and "The Return of the King"), "Apocalypto" is at a disadvantage against the fantastical "Pan's Labyrinth."
Oscar nominee for makeup: Apocalypto

Plant potatoes between squash?
Garden space is at a premium. I'm sure everyone knows this. I only have about 800 sq/ft.
I have a good sized square devoted to squash plants. I'm thinking about planting my potatoes in between the rows of 3x3 grid squash. The squash plants get big, the potatoes get really tall. I doubt one will shade out the other.
What do you guys and guyettes think?
I think you'd be ok with the zucchini and crookneck, they're usually bushy vs vining, and don't get too monstrous. Butternut, it would depend on the variety - the small-fruited ones are relatively tame plants.
But pumpkins, or any of the big, vining winter squash, no. They take over everything, and their leaves will grow taller and taller to take out the competition.
I haven't grown 8-ball.
I plant squash between the cabbage, Bob.
That is, I make a 2nd planting of summer squash between early cabbage plants. The cabbage can be taken out in mid-July and the squash will grow and produce about the 1st of September.
You have given me some ideas! My potatoes always seem to be early varieties. I like 'em! So, I begin harvesting about the 1st of August. Could I . . . might I . . . would I be crazy to . . ? What if the early cabbage was harvested and quick-maturing potatoes went in? Would they be good neighbors to the summer squash and make a crop by September?
The squash would have a week or so lead on the potatoes but the cabbage kind of "suppress" the squash until they are out of the way. I'd have to do some shopping for sprouting spuds in early July. Hmmm. . . .
I think I'm going to try planting one row between my squashes. They are in a 12'x12' area, each in about a 3'x3' area. My potatoes grew very tall last year and the squashi are growing from seed.
The potatoes are German Butterball, so they're smaller anyways.

When British troops joined US forces in Afghanistan almost seven years ago, there was little doubt, and even less controversy, about the mission. It was to capture Osama bin Laden, the presumed mastermind of the September 11 attacks on the US, destroy the camps where the 9/11 attackers had trained and prevent Afghanistan from ever sheltering terrorists again. The flight of the Taliban regime as the Northern Alliance advanced, and the talks from which Hamid Karzai emerged as President, seemed to hold the prospect of a brighter future after three decades of occupation and civil war.
The task of foreign forces was clear: it was to help Afghans rebuild their ravaged land and transform it into a law-governed state. It was a task of peace-keeping and reconstruction that enjoyed widespread international support. The notion that it might become a long-term combat operation was very far from anyone's mind. Last weekend, with the deaths of three British servicemen at the hands of a suicide bomber, the number of British casualties reached 100. The vast majority were killed in the past two years.
It is, of course, invidious to treat the 100th death as more significant than any other. Each, from the first to the 99th, has left grieving relatives and friends. But the day on which British casualties reached three figures inevitably prompts reflection, not only on the human cost of the Afghanistan mission to date but on the likely cost of our involvement into the future. This is not an operation whose end is anywhere in sight.
The expression "mission-creep" has been used, justifiably, of what has now become –for many British troops, at least – a war. But it is worth noting that until two years ago only seven British servicemen had died. The cost and benefits seemed proportionate; the undertaking seemed eminently worthwhile. What is more, foreign involvement was positively welcomed by many Afghans, in a way that it never was in Iraq.
Iraq, regrettably, explains much of what has gone wrong. For more than two years, the US and Britain were otherwise engaged. As the war in Iraq turned bad, manpower and hardware, along with political will, were all concentrated there. In Afghanistan meanwhile, the Taliban emerged from hiding, President Karzai's power contracted ever closer to the capital, Kabul, and the opium poppy crops multiplied.
In 2006, the US asked the British to try to wrest back control of Helmand province. What had begun five years before in the centre and north of the country as a high-minded, light-touch exercise in peace-keeping and rebuilding has now degenerated into messy warfare in one of the most lawless regions of the world. Just holding the line against the resurgent Taliban is increasingly regarded as success. Britain now has many more troops stationed in Afghanistan than in Iraq. Military commanders describe Helmand as more dangerous than Basra and Baghdad ever were, and even as they acknowledge that the Taliban cannot be beaten by military means alone, it is military means they must increasingly apply. And the more the dangers outstrip the prospects of success, the less other countries want to risk their troops. Afghanistan is straining the unity of Nato even more that its disputed operation in Kosovo.
Now is not the time to end our commitment to Afghanistan. But it is a time to review what has been achieved, and what can realistically be achieved in the months to come. Commenting on the 100th military death yesterday, the Prime Minister said this of British casualties in Afghanistan: "They have paid the ultimate price, but they have achieved something of lasting value." We wish that we could share his confidence.

Arlington, TX (Sports Network) - The Texas Rangers kept their playoff hopes alive with a 7-4 victory over the LA Angels of Anaheim in the third test of a four-game series Saturday.
The Rangers are tied with Tampa Bay for the second AL wild-card spot, one game behind Cleveland. The Rays lost to the Blue Jays on Saturday and the Indians beat the Twins.
Alex Rios, A.J. Pierzynski and Craig Gentry each had an RBI for Texas, which has won six in a row.
"All this is great, and all this is fun and all this won't matter if we don't win tomorrow," Pierzynski said. "We still got to win tomorrow. That's the biggest thing. To get through today, especially with the weather coming on and an 11 a.m. kickoff, it was good."
Derek Holland got the start for the Rangers and allowed four runs on eight hits over 4 2/3 innings. Joakim Soria (1-0) tossed 1 1/3 scoreless innings of relief to pick up the win.
Mike Trout knocked in two runs for the Angels, who committed five errors. Howie Kendrick and Collin Cowgill added an RBI apiece.
Angels starter Garrett Richards (7-8) gave up six runs -- three earned -- on six hits over 4 1/3 innings.
"We're going to try to come back tomorrow and beat these guys, and hopefully end the year on a positive note," said Richards.
Each team scored once in the first inning. Erick Aybar led off the game with a double to center, moved to third on Cowgill's groundout and crossed the plate on Trout's sacrifice fly.
In the bottom of the first, Ian Kinsler led off with a single to left. He moved to second on a wild pitch and advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt. Rios followed with a routine grounder to third baseman Andrew Romine, whose fielding error allowed Kinsler to score.
The Rangers tacked on four more runs in the second. Gentry doubled and David Murphy walked to get things started. The runners moved up one base on a sacrifice bunt. Kinsler hit a line drive that deflected off Richards, whose throwing error to first allowed a run to score. Elvis Andrus followed with an RBI single to shallow left field, and Aybar's throwing error put men on second and third. Rios' sacrifice fly and a wild pitch allowed two more runs to score.
The Angels got one run back in the third. Aybar doubled to left-center field, moved to third on Cowgill's single and scored on Trout's sacrifice fly.
Los Angeles plated two more runs in the fifth. Romine singled, advanced to third on Aybar's double and scored on Cowgill's groundout. Kendrick's RBI double cut the gap to 5-4.
Texas, however, responded with two runs in the bottom half. Rios doubled and moved to third on Adrian Beltre's groundout. Buddy Boshers came in from the bullpen and gave up an RBI single to Pierzynski. Mitch Moreland also singled before Robert Coello took over on the mound. Gentry twisted his right ankle on a bunt single, which scored Pierzynski.
Robbie Ross, Tanner Scheppers and Joe Nathan each tossed a scoreless inning of relief to secure the victory for Texas. Nathan stranded runners on first and second in the ninth for his 43rd save.
Texas is 14-4 versus the Angels this season ... Saturday's game was originally
scheduled for 7:05 p.m. CT, but a threat of inclement weather forced officials
to move the start time of the third portion of this set ... The Rangers have
won seven in a row versus the Angels in Arlington ... Aybar had three doubles.

Advanced usage reporting will provide customers a clear picture of how and when their SMART solution is being used, helping them quantify their return on investment (ROI).
"Customer satisfaction is our top priority for businesses using any SMART Visual Collaboration Solution," says Scott Brown, President, Enterprise, SMART Technologies. "We know our customers are eager to adopt this kind of service and the agreement with UC Point will ensure those customers get the most from their SMART solution with minimal downtime resulting in more productive collaboration and a strong return on investment."
"UC Point guarantees high quality service with our global Lync offering," says Markus P. Keller, CEO, UC Point. "By providing proactive monitoring and maintenance 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week we can assure SMART customers that their Visual Collaboration Solution will operate effectively and efficiently, bringing customer service to a new level."

Coloring library for console strings
Dye is a coloring/styling library for wrapping common ANSI escape sequences around text that produce colors/styling when sent to
stdout. It also comes with a customizable zalgolizer
The interface mostly mirrors the popular
colors module on
npm, but does not introduce implicit global dependencies in your code via
String.prototype, and has been cleaned up for terminal use only.
Basic usage is simply
dye.red(str). All the exported colors with
bold (aka bright) variants should work everywhere. Here we test all the methods in both variants.
var dye = require'dye';var cols = 'white' 'black' 'grey' 'blue' 'cyan' 'green' 'magenta' 'red''yellow';colsforEach var colored = dyecolcol; console.logcolored; console.logdyeboldcolored;;
italic functions have sparse support (no worky on windows).
H̸̡̪̯ͨ͊̽̅̾̎Ȩ̬̩̾͛ͪ̈́̀́͘ ̶̧̨̱̹̭̯ͧ̾ͬC̷̙̲̝͖ͭ̏ͥͮ͟O̮̪̝͍ͮM̲̖͊̒ͪͩͬ̚̚͜Ȇ̴̟̟͙̞ͩ͌͝S̨̥̫͎̭ͯ̿̔̀ͅ.
This is a uniform-clustered zalgolizer. It picks up to a specified number of symbols from each subarray of souls at uniform randomness (with probability
p), or picks from it no symbols at all (with probability
The probability lets you specify how clustered you want the symbols (
p=1 ⇒ completely uniform distribution,
p=0.5 ⇒ on average half the letters get nothing, the rest are uniformly distributed)
The different soul types contain symbols that go above, in the middle of, or underneath the text respectively.
Some examples
dyezalgo'default zalgolization'; // p=.2, maxPicks = [5, 3, 5] 'd̠̤̟̰efauḻt z͂̈al̊̚g͈oli̷za̪͉t̽̅i̘̪̫̼on' dyezalgo'less clustered zalgolization' 0.7 2 1 2;'l̠̇es̞̏s ̌cl̟usṯer͑eͦd ̲z̮̅aḻ̽g̞o̮l͉̉iza̐t̄iͅỏ͖n͖' dyezalgo'intense, clustered zalgolization' 0.2 10 5 10'i̛̩͖̤̯̮͠ͅn̷͟t͢en̝͎͇͙̭sͧͤͨ̓͗̾e͑̐ͫ̒ͨ̓ͮ̏̑, c̓lů͚̺̦̰̪͓͐ͯ̈ster͍̤͖͗͌̇ͨͦͥ̚é͜d̨̡͘͞ za̋ͬͫlgͧ̏ͧ̃ͫͭͯ̈̆ol̲͕̳͓͍̯̠i̢͢z̙ation͡'
A windows command line is impenetrable by zalgo and will display question marks instead.
Finally, if you would like to sanitize / attempt to exorcise such a string, you can take the difference with the characters available via the exported
souls function.
