So You Like Color--The Mysterious ^[[ Characters
Have you ever redirected the output of a curses program with colors and wondered what those mysterious ^[[ symbols are? Have you ever tried to produce colors with a printf command without using curses? If the answer to either of these questions is yes, read on. This article attempts to explain the mysterious characters that one finds in the output of a curses program that produces colors. Later, we extend this concept to produce colors with a mere printf command.
In the old days of teletype terminals, terminals were located far away from computers and were connected to them through serial cables. The terminals could be configured by sending a series of bytes to each one. All of the capabilities of terminals could be accessed through these series of bytes, which usually are called escape sequences because they start with an escape (0x1B) character. Even today, with vt100 emulation, we can send escape sequences to the emulator that have the same effect on the terminal window. Hence, in order to print color, we merely echo a control code.
To start, type this on your console:
echo "^[[0;31;40mIn Color"
The first character is an escape character, which looks like two characters, ^ and [. To be able to print this, you have to press CTRL+V and then the ESC key. All the other characters are normal printable characters, so you see the string In Color in red. The type stays that color until you revery back by typing this:
echo "^[[0;37;40m"
As you can see, it is easy to set and reset colors in a console or xterm. A myriad of escape sequences are available with which you can do a lot of things, including moving the cursor and resetting the terminal.
Now, I explain the escape sequence used to produce colors. The sequence to be printed or echoed to the terminal is
The first character is ESC, which has to be entered by pressing CTRL+V and then ESC on the Linux console or in xterm, konsole, kvt and so on. Incidentally, CTRL+V ESC also is the combination used to embed an Esc character in a document in Vim. Then, {attr}, {fg} and {bg} have to be replaced with the correct value to achieve the corresponding effect. attr is the attribute, such as blinking or underlined text, while fg and bg are foreground and background colors, respectively. You don't have to put braces around the number; simply writing the number is sufficient.
{attr} needs to be one of the following:
0 Reset All Attributes (return to normal mode)
1 Bright (usually turns on BOLD)
2 Dim
3 Underline
5 Blink
7 Reverse
8 Hidden
{fg} needs to be one of the following:
30 Black
31 Red
32 Green
33 Yellow
34 Blue
35 Magenta
36 Cyan
37 White
{bg} needs to be one of the following:
40 Black
41 Red
42 Green
43 Yellow
44 Blue
45 Magenta
46 Cyan
47 White
So, to get a blinking line with a blue foreground and a green background, the combination should be:
echo "^[[5;34;42mIn color"
which actually is very ugly. So, revert back with
echo "^[0;37;40m"
What if you want to use this code color and attribute functionality in a C program? Well, that's simple. Before you printf something, print the escape sequence to produce it in the desired color. I have written a small routine, textcolor(), that does this automatically for you. You can use it in your C programs, along with the #define constants.
|textcolor()| #include <stdio.h> #define RESET 0 #define BRIGHT 1 #define DIM 2 #define UNDERLINE 3 #define BLINK 4 #define REVERSE 7 #define HIDDEN 8 #define BLACK 0 #define RED 1 #define GREEN 2 #define YELLOW 3 #define BLUE 4 #define MAGENTA 5 #define CYAN 6 #define WHITE 7 void textcolor(int attr, int fg, int bg); int main() { textcolor(BRIGHT, RED, BLACK); printf("In color\n"); textcolor(RESET, WHITE, BLACK); return 0; } void textcolor(int attr, int fg, int bg) { char command[13]; /* Command is the control command to the terminal */ sprintf(command, "%c[%d;%d;%dm", 0x1B, attr, fg + 30, bg + 40); printf("%s", command); }
The textcolor() program is modeled against the Turbo C API function. You call the function to set the color and then print it with sprintf(), a function used in Turbo C to produce console output in color.
Bypass the need for CTRL-V ESC
If you want to omit the CTRL-V ESC key sequence you can use \033 instead.
So the lines would read echo "\033[0;31;40m In Color"
and echo "\033[0;37;40m"
This makes it easier to type and to have in scripts.
Excellent post
A fantastic post, I'm just about to do some scripts involving interpreting these colour codes from the logs from the screen utility, this page was invaluable.
Keep up the good work :-)
Cool Tutorial, but...
Cool tutorial, but, I noticed that in the two coding examples you #define BLINK as 4, when it's actually supposed to be '5'
It's just a small type-o, but I thought I'd let you know just incase someone (such as myself) tries to learn from one of the examples without first looking to the list that correctly defines BLINK as 5.

OMG, this is awesome. I've been wondering for about three years how to do colors in c(besides using ncurses). I just happened to be bored and decided to checkout lj's website since I have a subscription and really like the mag.
I think the editors are retarded for not putting this stuff in the magazine. I mean, I have to look at a computer monitor 12 hours a day and I'd really rather go home and read this stuff from the print mag.
But anyway, awsome article Pradeep. Thanks!
bugs in code
In your while loop, the second and third
if statements are incorrect. It looks like you copied/pasted the first statement and did not change the conditions -- you are comparing
attr when it should be
fg and then

cool article. i finally understood colors... although a msg about that it is not possible to paste the escape sequence into your terminal would be good.
But what about outputting to a file?
Hi, I use escape sequences in my program but then if I redirect the output to a file, I start seeing all these escape characters in there. Is there a way that I can disable this functionality when outputting to a file?

Abnormal pap :(
Oh yes, honey, you are not alone. I understand it's scary, but this is so common you wouldn't belive it.
You'll be fine :)
Mama to two sweet little girls - 2/5/11 ♥ 7/27/13
I've gone through it...it's actually VERY common and you shouldn't worry. I did 2 colposcopy's and they aren't as bad as you'd think. Also my Dr. told me that my body would probably clear the HPV on it's own, and it sure did. Don't stress.
Married to DH August 5, 2012
DS born 6-21-02. DD born 6-5-06 MMC 12/12 MMC 6/13 Expecting a GIRL! 7/2013
Agree! You're not alone. This happened to me too. I couldn't believe it. I had only been with my husband the past 8 years so I was SHOCKED! They actually had me do the procedure at 13 weeks?? It wasn't painful at all, but was pretty bloody and very scary at the time. They said your immune system drops so much because of pregnancy that's why it's finally showing up. 80% of us women have it, it's just a matter of if and when it will ever show up on a pap. Really no big deal at all. Good luck!!
Reid Allen Becker Due October 12, 2010, born on October 14th
Baby #2 - It's a GIRL!! Wow! Due July 25th w/ scheduled C-Section for July 18th!
Undeniably a little scary but I got through it.
Best of luck to you
I had a colposcopy back in April and it was sent off for testing. They said like only 10 percent of these ever come back as cancerous. Mine was but they cut most of those parts out (I think there was only two or three places) I was just in the unlucky 10 percent. When I was supposed to go back for my check up I was pregnant so they haven't really said anything to me about it. I had another pap and I'm guessing this one was normal with no other abnormal cells, because they didn't call me and tell me otherwise. Good luck to you! Most likely everything will be fine :)
2006 - M/C at 5 weeks
2007 - M/C at 6 weeks
2009 - M/C at 13 weeks (baby was 8 weeks 3 days)
I had a pap done right before I found out I was pregnant and when I was 6 weeks they told me it came back abnormal. I have to have a colposcopy done at 14 weeks, they said they wont do it in the first trimester and to wait until the second trimester. They can not do anything else during pregnancy but it is very common. Try not to worry!
i jus had a coloscopy done on tuesdsy n im 10 weeks preg it wasnt so bad its very uncomfortable but i was good after

BI to launch 6-month tourist visa next week
MANILA, Philippines—Foreign visitors who want to extend their vacation in the Philippines may now do so without the usual hassles.
The Bureau of Immigration (BI) announced on Tuesday that foreigners who would like to stay longer in the country, could avail of a six-month, long-stay tourist visa from the agency. The program is set to be formally launched next week, according to the BI.
In a statement, Immigration Commissioner also announced that the bureau would introduce the new visa sticker to replace the wet stamp it was using to implement extensions of stay on the passports of foreign tourists.
The Long Stay Visitor Visa Extension (LSVVE) project was launched to draw more international travelers into the country by giving them the privilege to prolong their stay in the country without the need to frequently visit the BI office to process their documents.
Currently, the bureau allows foreign tourists a maximum stay of two months in the country each time they apply for visa extensions.
"Through this long-stay visa, we [also] expect lesser crowding in our offices due to the decreased volume of visa extension applicants," stated David.
On the other hand, the new visa sticker will help the bureau prevent the proliferation of fake visa extension stamps, which have victimized many foreigners, added the BI chief, who noted that the new sticker would have security and tracking features that could not be duplicated.
"It will also speed up transactions in our visa section, allow more efficient tracking records and faster detection of forged and tampered stamps," said David.
He disclosed that new measures being implemented by the bureau were initiated following meetings with the Department of Tourism (DOT) and the Department of Foreign Affairs on policy reforms that could help the government draw more international tourists to the country.
For this year, the DOT is aiming to increase the volume of tourist arrivals to 5.5 million and double this figure by the end of the Aquino administration in 2016.

Ex-lawyer gets prison for scams, ID theft.
A Eugene attorney who pleaded guilty in October to identity theft and bank fraud was sentenced Tuesday to 21 months in federal prison.
Richard Warren "Whitey" Clark also must pay nearly $435,000 in restitution and undergo five years of supervision following his jail time for defrauding clients, banks and his mother-in-law.
During sentencing, Clark offered a brief apology to those he harmed, Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher Cardani said after the session. Clark's wife also spoke briefly, declaring him a good husband and father and saying her mother had forgiven him, Cardani said.
According to a summary prepared by the U.S. attorney's office, Clark's problems apparently became acute in 1998 as his law firm, at 19th Avenue and Willamette Street, failed to generate enough revenue to cover Clark's personal and professional costs.
To secure money to cover his debts, Clark borrowed $231,000 from one wealthy client, saying he would lend the money out to five other clients in need of funds. Instead, he kept the money, while making interest-only payments to satisfy the original lender.
When Clark stopped making those payments in July 2002, the original lender contacted the supposed borrowers, who knew nothing about either the loans or the expected repayments.
Clark carried out a similar fraud on his mother-in-law the same year, borrowing $51,000 from her, ostensibly to lend to a client. Instead, he kept the money and made interest-only payments to his mother-in-law until September 2002.
He also obtained power-of-attorney over his mother-in-law's financial affairs after her husband died in 1998 and wrote checks for $20,000 to his law practice from her investment account. She revoked the power-of-attorney in 2001 after discovering what he had done.
Several area banks also were Clark's victims, when he provided false financial statements and tax returns to them for processing loan and credit card applications. He later defaulted on those debts. He secured $66,000 from Key Bank, $25,000 from Wells Fargo Bank, $15,000 from Pacific Continental Bank, $10,000 from Bank of America, and $19,000 from US Bank.
Law enforcement officers began investigating Clark in June 2002. He closed his law practice and resigned from the profession in December that year.
Judge Michael Hogan on Tuesday ordered Clark to report to prison on June 14. Although the federal criminal justice system has no provisions for parole, Clark could shave about two months from his sentence for good behavior, Cardani said.
Clark cannot avoid restitution payments by declaring bankruptcy, Cardani said.
During the five years of supervised release after he completes his prison term, the federal government "will collect as much as it can," Cardani said.
"The federal government has an aggressive system for pursuing (restitution) for up to 20 years," he said.
Even though he committed a white-collar crime, Clark "has a lot of victims out there that he's hurt badly," Cardani said. "Most people stick a gun in someone's face, get caught and go away for a long time. He had a pen instead of a gun - and he got away with it for a long time."

Orb's trainer, Shug McGaughey, felt his colt was too far back to close in time, and he was right. Orb was ninth with a half-mile to go before charging to third and tiring. "He got a little tired," jockey Joel Rosario said of Orb. "He went through a tough five weeks, and he gave me a lot. We had a perfect trip. I got him to relax, but he just didn't have it."
Said McGaughey: "I'm disappointed with third place, but the grind of it all played a part. I thought Orb ran well, but those other horses didn't back up a lick. I think our horse did well. We won the Derby, fourth in the Preakness, third here. We'll freshen him up and get him ready for Saratoga."
Pletcher sent five horses in the Derby, skipped the Preakness and saddled five in the Belmont. Palace Malice kept him from going 0-for-10 in the Triple Crown this year. It was his second Triple Crown race win, second Belmont after taking it with Rags To Riches in 2007.
"I feel just as excited with this one," Pletcher said. "Rags To Riches got the monkey off my back in the Classics. But this one was just as exciting."
Pletcher said the win was emotional because of his long connection with Dogwood Stable and owner Cot Campbell.
"They supported me from the very beginning," Pletcher said. "To win a big race for them is very gratifying." Campbell called Pletcher "one of the greatest trainers of all time." The win meant a lot to him, too.
"It's the mother of all great moments," Campbell said. "It means everything, the tradition of (the Belmont). I've been in racing a long time, and this is good stuff right here. I'm in the twilight of my career, and this ranks right up there."

"Customer service was so helpful and sweet when I called to fix a text error. I put down my ceremony time as 4:30 in the morning OOPS! They arrived so so soooo quick and are absolutely beautiful. Perfect for a rustic shabby chic wedding theme!"
"I realized I used my other daughter's middle name after submitting the invitation for printing. Called WPD immediately and the designer was helpful and extremely understanding. Product is perfect. Very happy with the quality."
"Georgeous invitation. A tidbit if you will be placing the invitation on an envelopment, I found no need to pay for the extra cardstock price as you will be taping the card to the envelopement."
"These invitations swept me away! I almost cried just seeing them because they met my every expectation and exceeded it! The card stock is so high quality I could seriously be a weirdo and rub the invitation between my fingers all day that's how good it feels! Everyone that's seen here commented how perfect they are! I'm excited to send these out!"
"My fiance and I are very particular people, and therefore, finding an invitation that fit the occasion and us was nearly impossible. However, after endless searching I found these beautiful invitations and we couldn't be happier. I upgraded the the pearly finish, polka dots on the back, and the gold envelopes. All together, they are perfect! Be it that I tend to make any purchase harder than it needs to be, I have no regrets. Even a couple days after my purchase I realized I forgot to add vital information, wedding paper divas had an editing process that allowed me to add the information to the invitation and make it look phenomenal. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE! If you are having any hesitations, trust me, I understand. But these are perfect!"

Cat�s claw grows in the rain forests of the Andes Mountains in South America, particularly in Peru. The two species of the plant used most commonly are U. tomentosa, which makes up most of the cat�s claw imported to the U.S., and U. guianensis, which is more widely used in Europe. In South America, both species are used interchangeably. The root bark is used as medicine. Cat�s claw has been reportedly used by indigenous peoples in the Andes to treat inflammation, rheumatism, gastric ulcers, tumors, dysentery, and as birth control.1 Cat�s claw is popular in South American folk medicine for treating intestinal complaints, gastric ulcers, arthritis, and to promote wound healing.

This green drink has really boosted my immunity system. I feel a change in my health, and i get more energy. I highly recommend this product . It has refreshing water melon flavor.
It helps in creating harmony in the body and improves metabolism. It was gluten free and yummy. This is my third order of the product. I just love to have it.
I've tried several different Ginseng products and this is by far my favorite. It does have a positive therapeutic effect. I've had no negative side effects.
This Cider extract is very spicy, so it's easier to take if you mix it in some tomato or V8 Juice. Take at the first sign of a cold.
The company advertised an 8 oz. bottle of Wild Cherry Bark Syrup for $4.97.
It also advertised an 8oz. bottle with several different herbs added for $9.45. The both bottles are identical if you read the labels. I ordered 4 of the $4.97 bottles and received 4oz. bottles. They did send me a return label but now claim they didn't receive the return pkg. And they don't have the items i ordered in stock contrary to their internet site which said both in stock. Needless to say i will never use this company again.

Aru Territory
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (February 2009)
|Aru Territory
|Democratic Republic of Congo
|Orientale Province
|Ituri District
|National language
Aru is a territory in Ituri District, Orientale Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the name of the territory's administrative capital, Aru Town. The territory is located at the northern edge of the province, on the border with Uganda to the east and South Sudan to the north.
During the 1998-2006 war in DRC, Aru was the base of the Ituri militia FAPC headed by Jerome Kakwavu. While the war had a severe impact on the region, Aru was spared the atrocities that ravaged the rest of Ituri district. This was, in part, due to the territory's diversity of tribes who had been accustomed to living peacefully together.
While Aru Town is the administrative capital of the territory, Ariwara is its economic hub where businesspeople from DRC, Southern Sudan and Uganda meet to trade cows, manufactured goods and other products.
Aru has a small airport but no public electricity grid, although UNHCR was up until recently[when?] supplying electricity to Aru Town using electric generators. The UN Mission in DR Congo, MONUC, maintained a base of operations in Aru in the later stages of the war to assist with the conduct of elections in the area. The operation was successful with over 85% of voters registering and voting; no serious incidents were registered in the territory.
Aru Territory is represented in the National Assembly by five deputies:
- Medard Autsai (PPRD)
- Daniel Banio (COFEDEC)
- Norbert Ezadri (MCR)
- Patrice Ezaty (MIP)
- Lebon Mambo (RRC)
Coordinates: 2°52′N 30°51′E / 2.867°N 30.850°E

You could say this is a tale of one city with two sides.
On the one hand, there's the Costa Mesa that makes national headlines over its controversial policies on illegal immigration, its crackdown on day laborers, and more recently, its much trumpeted declaration that it is a "Rule of Law" city.
Some called this latest move political posturing and just rhetoric. But it also sent shock waves through an already polarized community. So, rather than ease tension on the hotly divisive issue of illegal immigration, this move by the official side of Costa Mesa just further deepened the divisions.
Then, there's the other Costa Mesa. I'm talking about the behind-the-scenes, on-the-ground residents who have to deal with the aftermath of the decisions taken by overzealous city leaders.
These residents have no political agenda; they're not aiming for an assembly seat. This is their city. They live, work, and play in it every day. And, recently they decided they'd had enough with the divisions and misperceptions that have arisen in recent years.
So on June 12, two neighborhood associations invited the city's residents to a community picnic. It was the first of what they hope will become an annual event to break down barriers that have separated neighborhoods.
The effort was spearheaded by Costa Mesa resident Mike Brumbaugh. His neighborhood association – the Halecrest & Hall of Fame Community Association (bordered by Fairview Road, Baker Street, College Ave and the 405 Freeway) is a predominantly Caucasian neighborhood – joined with the predominantly Latino Baker Street association of about 30 families called Unidos en Baker (Baker United), to organize the picnic.
While the immediate goal was food, fun and new friendships, Brumbaugh's long-term hope is that by picnicking together, residents can look past misconceptions they might have about each other.
"I know that I can't save the world. But if you can touch one person, or help one person, that's important," Brumbaugh says.
"In our neighborhood we have good group communication and safety, and I just want to help spread that throughout the city.
"It's a partnership — that's what makes it work."
Brumbaugh and Costa Mesa resident Walter Garcia, who also helped organize the picnic, had already established a partnership between the two neighborhoods. In 2006, when a shooting occurred on Baker Street, Brumbaugh reached out to residents to say: "We're your neighbors. We're here to help you."
The two groups also had come together for events like National Night Out. But, last fall, they expanded their reach and held a community summit with leaders from various neighborhoods throughout Costa Mesa.
Historically, the city has divided along east-west lines, with the Eastside being more affluent, middle-class, and the Westside being working class, highly immigrant and predominantly Latino. Through this summit, residents from the various neighborhoods realized they have many of the same concerns and desires, such as safe neighborhoods and parks where their children can play.
Garcia works for the nonprofit Mika Community Development Corporation, which aims to develop and empower community leaders in the city's neighborhoods. Through his work on Baker Street, Garcia says he realized that Latino residents also held misperceptions that the Eastside residents didn't care about the city's Latino residents.

Roast Turkey Nouvelle
|12 Pound (Ready To Stuff, Fresh Or Frozen, Thawed, 1 Turkey)
|Barley stuffing/Vegetable stuffing
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|Pan juice gravy
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|Watercress sprigs
|1 (For Garnish)
1. Prepare Barley Stuffing or Savory Vegetable Stuffing.
2. Remove giblets and neck from turkey; refrigerate for use another day. Rinse turkey with running cold water; pat dry with paper towels.
3. Spoon some stuffing into neck cavity (do not pack stuffing; it expands during cooking). Fold neck skin over stuffing; fasten neck skin to back with 1 or 2 skewers. With turkey breast side up, lift wings toward neck, then fold them under back of turkey so they stay in place.
4. Spoon remaining stuffing lightly into body cavity. Close, by folding skin lightly over opening; skewer if necessary. Depending on brand of turkey, with string tie legs and tail together, or push drumsticks under band of skin, or use stuffing clamp.
5. Place turkey, breast side up, on rack in open roasting pan. Cover turkey with a loose tent of foil. Insert meat thermometer through foil into thickest part of thigh next to body, being careful that pointed end of thermometer does not touch bone. Roast turkey in 325°F. oven about 4 hours. Start checking for doneness during last hour of roasting.
6. To brown turkey, remove foil tent 20 to 30 minutes before turkey is done and, with pastry brush, brush turkey with pan drippings for attractive sheen. Turkey is done when thigh temperature on thermometer reaches 180° to 185°F. and thickest part of drumstick feels soft when pressed with fingers (protected by paper towels). (Breast temperature should be 170° to 175°F., stuffing temperature 160° to 165°F.)
7. When turkey is done, place on warm large platter; keep warm.
8. Prepare Pan-Juice Gravy and serve with turkey.

Mixed response to strike; traders community in Allahabad divided on issue
Allahabad: Business activities were hit in the city on Tuesday as traders began their two-day bandh in protest against the proposed introduction of value-added tax (VAT) in Uttar Pradesh.
Heavy security
Heavy deployment of police personnel was seen in commercial areas of Chowk, Katra and Mutthiganj. Rapid action force was also stationed at sensitive points, though no untoward incident has been reported from anywhere around the city, police said.
Good response
The bandh evoked good response in the Chowk area which houses the city's wholesale markets, as also in Katra, where most of the shopkeepers chose to down their shutters in protest against the proposed tax regime.
However, in the posh Civil Lines area the response was lukewarm and most of the shops remained open. Attempts were made by agitating traders to enforce the bandh at some places, but they were restrained by security forces, police claimed.
The traders community seemed to be divided on the issue of VAT, as the Sarvajan Udyog Vyapar Mandal on Monday decided to stay away from the strike.
Supporters of the traders' outfit had even approached the district administration to provide adequate security amidst opposition to the proposed VAT regime which has been accepted by the entire country. — PTI

PadPivot tablet stand designed for flat desks and rounded thighs
By Darren Quick
September 27, 2011
While there are plenty of stands for tablets that are designed to sit on a flat surface, such as the TabGrip, what happens when you're on the bus or reclining on the couch? You'll have to hold the device in one hand and do all your touching and swiping with the other, right? Well, those days could be over thanks to an innovative multi-purpose tablet stand called the PadPivot. With a curved base that sits as comfortably on a desktop as it does on the tablet user's thigh, the PadPivot is designed to provide hands-free support to a tablet so users can devote both their hands to the important touchy tasks at hand.
The PadPivot is a Kickstarter project that reached its US$10,000 target after two days and is now in stores. The device features a rounded base and a pivoting head that allows a tablet to be positioned at that best viewing angle and folds up so it can be slipped into your pocket. The surface of the base is made from non-slip rubber, but for those times when you're getting knocked around the place, such as a bumpy bus or train ride, the stand can be tethered to your leg with the included strap.
Designed to suit a variety of tablets and e-Readers or even mobile phones, the PadPivot head attaches to your mobile device of choice with a sticky grip plate. The grip plate comes with a dust cover to keep it clean when not in use and can be cleaned under warm running water.
The creators of the PadPivot have made a deal with Rocketfish to bring the device to a wider market and it is available now for US$39.99.
The promo video below runs us through the features of the PadPivot:
I\'m sure would stay very well on my belly also!:) Well done! Congrats!Marius Gruita

I just don\'t understand iPads and this stand. Laptops have been able to do this for decades, with larger screens, longer battery life, better computing performance, tactile keyboards, I could go on for a while
It\'s as if you suddenly start selling unicycles, praise it as the best mode of transportation since the bicycle, and then sell an additional wheel seperately that attaches to it but doesn\'t make it quite as good as a real bicycle, and claim it\'s some sort of technological revolution.FilthyDave
This is a fantastic idea! I can\'t tell you how many times I\'ve seen people struggling to use the iPad while seated. This seems like a brilliant way to comfortably read your iPad on the go! Nice work!!elliekemery
I really want one of these, at first glance it seems like the most useful stand I've seen. A few questions about the sticky plate though:
• Is there some magic going on I should know about or is it just a sticky surface? There's very little detail on how it works.
• Will the constant attaching / de-attaching of a device cause any damage to either the stand or the device in terms of durability (stand) or aesthetics (device)?
• Is it 'sticky' enough to safely hold a tablet without any risk of it falling?Simon Seddon

Big Butt, So What?Elena awoke to sunlight one nice morning, feeling very refreshed. She sat up, then noticed her head was near her ceiling. "What? Am I still asleep?" she asked. She pinched her arm, but her status did not change. She then looked down, her eyes growing as wide as dinner plates! Her butt was at least eight feet wide, looking like a pair of brown sofas, with her thighs proportionate. Her hips stuck out at least four feet, if not more, behind her! "How did this happen?" she asked, getting off the bed. Her body made a loud thud as she did so, quivering and jiggling with each waddling step. "I guess I'll have to change how I fight, not much good my kicks will do if I can barely move my legs to walk." She muttered, feeling her thick thighs rub furiously.

Leaning back on her desk she smiles at her short tartan skirt and strappy white top, so close it looked like a slip or night shirt, accentuating her breasts, she pouted and stuck out a hip for effect. "Not bad" she muttered, as her hand bumped into something on her desk."What? gum? I didn't buy any gum." she looked puzzled at the appearance of the little packet. She looked closer. "Blueberry. Hmm Well it never hurts to freshen your breath before you leave" She smiled and unwrapped the cube, popping it in her mouth. The flavour was intense from the moment she bit on it, like whole blueberries bursting on her tongue, she closed her eyes as she chewed more...Chelsea

Photograph - H.V. McKay Massey Harris, Loaded Trucks in Front of Factory, Sunshine, Victoria, 1949 Reg. No: MM 92785
- Summary:
- Black and white photograph of the H.V. McKay Massey Harris Pty. Ltd. Factory, Sunshine, July 1949.
This item is part of a collection of photographs, negatives, moving film, artefacts, documents and trade literature belonging to the H. V. McKay Sunshine Collection. The McKay collection is regarded as one of the most significant industrial heritage collections in Australia. The collection relates to the agricultural manufacturing firm, the Sunshine Harvester Works. The Australian operations of this company were originally founded by Hugh V. McKay in the 1890s in Ballarat. Between 1906 and 1907, McKay moved production to Sunshine where the firm became one of the largest industrial businesses in Australia. Change in ownership is a recurring theme in the company?s history. In 1930, it merged with Massey-Harris to become H.V McKay Massey Harris. In the mid-1950s, the company was absorbed by Canadian agricultural firm Massey-Ferguson. Production in Sunshine ceased in the mid-1980s, following almost 100 years of manufacturing agricultural equipment.

NFL Division Playoffs Pick
Houston Texans
New England Patriots
Date/Time: Saturday, Jan.13 4:30 p.m. (ET)
Television: CBS
NFL Odds from VietBet
Point Spread: New England -9.5
Total: 47.5
NFL Betting Game Trends
Houston Texans
- Houston is 2-4 ATS in its last 6 games on the road
- The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Houston's last 6 games
- Houston is 6-2 SU in its last 8 games on the road
- Houston is 13-4 SU in its last 17 games
New England Patriots
- New England is 6-1 SU in its last 7 games at home
- The total has gone OVER in 6 of New England's last 7 games at home
- New England is 9-1 SU in its last 10 games
- The total has gone OVER in 11 of New England's last 14 games
Game Overview
It was not pretty, but Houston got back to its winning ways with a 19-13 victory over Cincinnati as a four-point home favorite in last Saturday's Wildcard Round. The Texans reeled-off 11 wins in their first 12 games, but stumbled down the stretch with a 1-3 record in their last four. One of those losses was a 42-14 pasting against New England as 5.5-point road underdogs. They went 9-7 against the spread this season and 4-4 ATS on the road. The total has now stayed UNDER in five of their last six games.
If the Texans are going to have any shot in this contest as prohibitive underdogs on the road, they will need a big effort from a defense that was torched by the Patriots in the first meeting this season. While having Arian Foster running the ball is a major plus, Houston quarterback Matt Schaub is still going to have to come up with some big plays to help put points on the board. The offense will not have the luxury of settling for field goals like it did against the Bengals.
New England had last week off after securing the No.2 seed in the AFC with an overall record of 12-4 SU (9-7 ATS). It went 6-2 SU and home this season and 4-4 ATS with the total staying UNDER in three of its last five games overall. The Patriots quickly overcame an unexpected 3-3 start with nine victories in their next 10 games. They have won five of those games by a double-digit margin. The offense averaged 34.8 points a game, which happens to be the highest total in the NFL.
Everyone is well aware of what Tom Brady brings to the table, especially this time of year. He posted another banner season with 4,827 passing yards and 34 touchdowns and remains poised to pick-up where he left off. As an added bonus, he will have all of his favorite targets back in the lineup for Sunday's game. The real difference-maker in this game could be New England's defense. It was once again ranked near the bottom of the league in total yards allowed, but ninth in points allowed which is all that really matters.
Ever since last season's loss to the Giants in Super Bowl XLVI, the Patriots have been focused strictly on one goal; making things right this time around. This game is just the first step to getting it done, so you can rest assured that it will not remain close for long. New England 28 Houston 17

It might be on the artwork for this year's Royal International Air Tattoo, but the US Air Force's Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor is not making a planned repeat appearance at the show, being staged at Royal Air Force base Fairford in Gloucestershire from 17-18 July.
Three of the USAF's new stealth fighters made their first European appearance at the cancelled event last year, but with production of the Raptor expected to soon come an end, similar commitments for 2009 – also originally scheduled to have included June's Paris air show – have been axed.
The fifth-generation F-22 remains the subject of massive debate on whether production should be extended, with president Barack Obama fighting still fighting a move by the US Congress to add further examples to a programme he wants to cap at 187 aircraft.
Its withdrawal from the European show circuit has added to a torrid few months experienced by F-22 officials. The programme is still recovering from its first fatal accident, with Lockheed test pilot David Cooley having been killed in a crash while operating from Edwards AFB, California in March. Japan's attempts to gain permission to buy an export version of the Raptor have also been repeatedly blocked by Washington.

Is Andy Murray the greatest pusher of all time?

My $0.02 on Murray was he played to not lose, where as at least Djokovic took some chances. Don't get me wrong, they both play high percentage tennis, so, at the top of the ATP, do those two (yes I'm counting Djokovic too) count as "pushers?" To me yes, and even at the pro's level, on that court surface, with the balls they are using, that playing style wins.
To those who counter with "pushers don't serve 130mph," how hard was he hitting his second serve?? Serena was hitting her second serve harder. And how many mid court balls did he just loop back to Djokovic's service line? What does Raffa or Federer do with a ball that short in the court?
Just my OPINION, but I would rather watch contrasting styles of players in a final @ the USO.
I was happy for Murray that he broke through, and at the level's he playing right now, he will win other GS. He's shown the committment to win, and has executed, good for him!

|The angiosperm order Asparagales, is an economically important monocot order that includes onions (Allium), asparagus (Asparagus), and agaves (Agave). The core Asparagales includes ten families that form a monophyletic group (Agapanthaceae, Agavaceae, Alliacae, Amaryllidaceae, Aphyllantaceae, Asparagaceae, Hyacinthaceae, Laxmaniaceae, Ruscaceae, and Themidaceae). Phylogenetic studies based on four chloroplast gene regions leave numerous relationships among these families unresolved or inadequately supported. In addition, questions remain about the origin, patterns of morphological divergence, geographic diversification, and ecological radiation of this group. Our primary goal is to resolve indistinct relationships among Asparagales families by adding data based on DNA sequence variation of an additional chloroplast region. To date, we have screened six chloroplast gene regions across fifteen taxa representing seven core Asparagales families and outgroups, Iridaceae and Xanthorrhoeaceae to identify informative phylogenetic variation. A one kilobase region of the large ribosomal subunit protein (rpL14-rpL 36) shows variation between closely related families and we are now expanding our taxonomic sampling within each family. We will conduct independent phylogenetic analyses of this region and combine our new data with existing data from previous studies and from a low-copy nuclear gene (PHYC). This combined phylogeny will potentially provide the additional data needed to resolve the evolutionary relationships among families and help interpret patterns of morphological diversification among Asparagales lineages.

The rectification still
Rectification is the process of purifying alcohol by repeatedly or fractionally distilling it to remove water and undesirable compounds. As mentioned above, a fermentation mixture primarily contains water and ethyl alcohol and distillation involves increasing the percentage of ethyl alcohol in the mixture. Water vaporizes very easily, however, and, unless care is taken, the distillate of a fermentation mixture will contain unacceptably large quantities of water. The fermentation mixture furthermore contains small quantities of complex constituents that can contribute to the flavour of the product even if they are present only in parts per million. It is important to retain those components that make a positive contribution to the product and to remove those that are unwanted, primarily some organic aldehydes, acids, esters, and higher alcohols. The ones that remain in the product are called congeners, and the congener level is controlled by the particular rectification system and by the system's method of operation.
The multicolumn rectifying system usually consists of three to five columns. The first column is always a preliminary separation column called the beer still, or analyzer. It usually consists of a series of metal plates with holes punched in them and baffles to control the liquid levels on the plates. The product coming from this column is between 55 and 80 percent ethyl alcohol. A 95 percent product can be produced on a two-column system consisting of a beer column and a rectifying column. The bulk of congener removal is accomplished in the rectifier—esters and higher alcohols, for example, being drawn off as side streams. However, a multicolumn system of several specialized rectifiers allows better control of the finished product. An aldehyde column, or purifier, is frequently used to separate these highly volatile low-boiling components, and sometimes ethyl alcohol is recovered in an extractive column and returned to the rectifier.
Three characteristics determine the elimination or retention of flavouring compounds: (1) their boiling points, (2) their solubilities in ethyl alcohol and water, and (3) their specific gravities. Some higher alcohols, for example, are removed on the basis of their solubility and specific gravity. These higher alcohols have limited solubility in water, and their specific gravities are less than that of water. Also, their boiling points are higher than that of ethyl alcohol and lower than that of water. Since they tend to accumulate in the rectifying column at the region where their boiling points cause them to condense, they can be drawn off as a liquid side stream. This side stream also contains a considerable amount of water. The limited solubility in water, plus the lower specific gravities, cause the higher alcohols to float to the top of the alcohol–water mixture, from which they can be removed.
Maturation, blending, and packaging
One method of classifying distilled liquors is as aged or unaged. Vodka, neutral spirits for use in a variety of products, most gins, and some rums and brandies are unaged. Aged products are predominantly whiskeys and most rums and brandies.
The term age refers to the actual duration of storage, while maturity expresses the degree to which chemical changes occur during storage. The maturation of whiskeys falls into two categories, according to whether storage is in new or reused cooperage. New charred, white-oak containers are required by law in the United States for the maturation of products to be called straight bourbon or rye whiskey. These containers, each containing 50 to 55 gallons, are stored in warehouses sometimes having controlled temperature and humidity. Older warehouses are called rick houses because the barrels are stored on stationary frames called ricks. In many newer houses, barrels are stacked on pallets.
White oak is one of the few woods that can hold liquids while allowing the process of breathing through the pores of the wood. The pore size of the wood is such that small molecules such as water move through the wood more easily than larger molecules such as alcohol. This breathing process is caused by temperature and humidity differences between the liquid in the barrel and the air in the warehouse. Charring the wood makes some of the wood compounds more soluble. As the liquid in the container moves back and forth through the wood, ingredients are extracted and carried back into the container's contents. Maturation also results from the contact of oxygen from the outside air with ingredients in the alcohol mixture. Therefore, maturation during aging consists of the interaction of the original compounds of the distillate, of oxidation reactions, and of the extraction of flavouring compounds from the wood. These factors must be well balanced in the properly matured product. The lower the level of the original congeners, the less wood extract required to achieve a good balance.
Outside the United States, reused cooperage is common. Since used containers have already yielded their initial oak extracts, the resulting product is low in extracted flavouring ingredients, which is desirable in some beverages. This maturation method, typified by Scotch and Irish whiskeys, can be carried on in casks holding up to 132 gallons. These casks have usually had previous use for storage or maturation of other whiskeys or wines and may be reused for many maturation cycles. Maturation in dry warehousing increases the alcoholic content of the liquid in the container, but the more common practice for Scotch and Irish whiskeys of maturation in high humidity warehouses reduces the alcoholic concentration.
The maturation procedure for brandies is similar to that of some whiskeys, but the brandies are usually matured in fairly large casks or oak containers. Most brandies are matured for three to five years, but some remain for as long as 20 to 40 years or even longer.
Rum is usually matured in reused oak containers; high concentrations of oak extracts are not considered desirable. Normal maturation time is two to three years, but rum, generally a blended product, may contain a percentage of older rums.
Most governments specify storage time for various products. The United States requires a two-year storage period for most whiskeys but has no requirement for any pure alcohol or neutral spirits (close to 100 percent alcohol) added to such whiskeys in the production of blended whiskey. Canada requires storage of two years for all distilled spirits. Scotland and England require a three-year storage and Ireland, five years for all products classified as whiskey; there are no requirements for vodka and gin.

Recently I took my dervish to Cantha/Tyria and been battling in Shing Jea/Ascalon arena. I've met a couple low lvl rangers (lvl 7,8,9 ect.) who have lvl 20 pet. I've tried asking them but it seems to be some sort of Ranger's Consparicy .
Now that i've started a ranger, I want to ask if anyone know how i can get a lvl 20 pet and still stay at a low lvl (below 10). So far, I've seen a lvl 20 boar, flamingo, and a tiger. I'm not sure if you do some sort of quest or if you tame them like that.
Thanks in advance
