Don Letts - Culture Clash, Chapter 18

Clash City Rockers - Part 2
In 1981 the Clash left for New York to do seven shows, and took me along to document the event on film—which became 'Clash on Broadway'—and that's how this London-based Dread got to meet the B-Boys in downtown NYC. All seven shows were oversold, and the Clash ended up playing seventeen shows back-to-back to satisfy demand. The venue was smack bang in the middle of Manhattan, in a place called Bond's, Times Square. Before the Clash had got to New York, their "Magnificent Dance", a remix of "Magnificent Seven" was being played on the black radio station WBLS. Frankie Crocker from WBLS had mixed a version of "Magnificent Dance", and over-dubbed bits of dialogue from the movie Dirty Harry with bits of Bugs Bunny samples. For the whole summer it seemed like WBLS rocked that tune and the B-Boys loved it. Mick Jones was responsible for bringing the whole New York hip-hop scene to the Clash. It was a genre The Clash took on board in the same way they had embraced reggae.
In the beginning of the eighties there was a new sound breaking out of the badlands of the Bronx and Harlem, moving downtown via the New York trendies—and, it has to be said, with a little help from the Clash. They invited Grandmaster Flash, the Treacherous Three and the Sugarhill Gang to support them, aiming to turn downtown New York onto something that was going on in their own backyard. Initial reactions were not always favourable though; on one occasion the predominantly white audience threw bottles at Grandmaster Flash whilst they were on stage, little realising they were witnessing an embryonic scene that would soon dominate the world. There had been the "punky reggae" thing in London and now there was that "punky hip-hop" thing going on in NYC. I was particularly bemused as once again the hip-hop scene had roots in Jamaica, inspired by the rapping style of Jamaican toasters, which was ironic in itself, as the Jamaican DJs had been inspired by American jocks broadcasting out of Miami in the late fifties.
Like punk, hip-hop would become a complete sub-culture with its own dress code, film-makers, artists and photographers. The notoriety and popularity of the graff writers like Haze, Futura 2000, Dhondi, Zephyr and Fab 5 Freddy grew with the music. It was Fab Five Freddy that took Debbie Harry to hip-hop events, and Blondie's "Rapture" was probably the first 'rap' the masses got to hear, whilst Malcolm McLaren's "Buffalo Gals" video introduced the world to the look and moves of the scene. Africa Bambaataa had a vision of bridging punk and hip-hop, and the black youth thought he was crazy, which was a similar reaction I had from my Rasta brethren before going off to play reggae and dub at the Roxy a few years earlier. For most, funds were tight so they had no choice to do anything but mix-and-match to create their own unique style of dress. As with any burgeoning scene, the DIY ethic was evident right across hip-hop.
For the time that the Clash were in New York, it seemed to me that they basically ran the gaff. I mean people like Scorsese and De Niro were showing up at the gigs. Not surprisingly, as the Clash were grabbing the headlines, people were falling themselves to show you what the city had to offer. And back then there was a lot on offer—why do you think they named it twice? It was like a real hip-hop-punk rock n 'roll circus. As for the film, the bands manager Bernard Rhodes put it into a lab in NYC, didn't pay the bill, and after a few years the lab destroyed the negatives. Luckily years later I managed to salvage sections of the film to create a DVD extra for my 'Westway to the World' documentary.
From NYC we moved on to Texas. I went there with the band to shoot the "Rock the Casbah" video and we came up with this half-baked idea of Jews and Arabs getting along, which I thought was a brave move for the Clash considering what could and couldn't be shown on MTV back then. The plan was for the band to be filmed playing in front of an oil derry, and I was amazed when Mick walked onto the set wearing these red long johns and black DM boots apparently he was pissed off about something and it was his way of throwing a strop. I pulled him to one side and said, "Look Mick, you look like a matchstick, and don't forget film lasts forever, so if you look stupid today, you'll look stupid forever." Mick got changed.
The Clash were like four sticks of dynamite. On the cue of "ACTION" these guys just went off. The armadillo was the mascot of Texas and was added for a bit of humour. Most people there had never seen a live one; only dead as ashtrays or handbags. The whole video was quite humorous; there is a scene where the Arab is driving the Cadillac and making the Jew pay for the oil. The video is a juxtaposition of ideas and thought-provoking scenes. The song itself was later used by the US military in the first Gulf War as a rallying cry. A prime example of left wing political statements being hijacked distorted and completely misunderstood.
In the summer of 1982, the Clash played Shea Stadium supporting The Who, which is where I filmed the video for "Should I Stay or Should I Go". We were backstage and Andy Warhol was there. I remember jokingly telling Warhol that there was acid in the cake, and the poor guy completely flipped out. I felt really bad about that. The "Radio Clash" video was cut out of the Clash on Broadway footage and a few years later I got the chance to show it to Federico Fellini at a film festival. After the screening Fellini said that I "have the vision of a terrorist". He was smiling at the time, so I guess it was a compliment. Sounded great in Italian!

Rated 2 out of 5Â by fiiimac Not Pleasant This dress was not a success on me. I am 5"5ish and 125 lbs and bounce back and forth between 0 and 2 in FP dresses, so I ordered the xs. From the side (the short one), it's cute and flattering with a little view of the leg, but the fabric gathered so much at the drawstring that from the front, it just made me look frumpy. I don't even think sizing down would have helped, if it were possible; it just seems like the cut of the dress is to blame. The drawstring did go to my natural waistline unlike some of the other reviewers found, but it didn't make it any better. Also: I noticed right away when I took it out of the bag that the fabric was cheap-looking; heathered and thin, like something from the mall. Overall, not a good purchase. Great idea, poor execution. Thumbs down. 7.31.2011
Rated 4 out of 5Â by dcmaxi love it!!! Im 5'5 and approx. 150 lbs. Im usually a 29/30 in designer jeans and my chest is a 34D. I tried on the dress yesterday and my friend loved it as well as the lady in the next dressing room lol. She liked it so such she tried it on and bought it as well. Her body type was more petite than mine and it fit well on both of us. We both bought the dress in an XS lol. 8.9.2011
Rated 1 out of 5Â by mindful Deceptive and misleading : originally named "beach dress" . The material is the same as a cardigan I got from H & M. i will also go with the other reviewers that said the waistline was way too high.. the model must have a petite figure and supershort torso, i got the XS but it was too tight and yet too tall for my 5.5 figure,even heels can't fix it. Buying this dress was a gamble I didn't win. 7.31.2011
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Maryquitecontrary Really Wanted this to Work It is a very lovely dress...for someone with the right body type. A note of caution: for ladies who are curvy this is unfortunately not flattering. I loved the cut of it, but it made my hips look very big and instantly added about 10lbs to my frame. I am 5'5, 125lbs and the small was too big which might have accounted for some of the ill-fit. I'm tempted to order the x-small, but afraid it would have the same effect only the waist line would be higher. 7.27.2011
Rated 1 out of 5Â by harbingerofdeath No thank you This dress is blah. Unlike the other review, I think the waist is way too low; it makes me look frumpy, not sexy in the least. I got the XS; I'm 34B, 26 waist, always wear a FP XS, but this thing was like wearing a strangely cut bag. Tried with heels thinking it would make my legs stand out more like the pic, but there's just too much fabric. I'm returning it. 7.20.2011
Rated 4 out of 5Â by HappySailor Goddess Indeed I just got this dress and love it. What a sexy goddess style. The string/belt is not on the waist and way above, which it didn't look like in the picture. I would prefer if it was lower on the waist, but still love the one shoulder + diagonal skirt. 7.17.2011
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Anniwa Cute & confusing at once I just found this dress (in grey) in an XS so grabbed it, despite the reviews. I am 5'6", 135, 34B and short-waisted# It fits perfectly on top# The waist is slightly high, contrary to the pictures which must feature very petit models# But it looks great belted, in fact, belted looks very elegant and dressy# Here's why it's confusing# The skirt underneath isn't a skirt; it comes about 2" below my bum, then as soon as I take a step, it rides up about 4"# That means that unless you have very skinny legs and you can get away with something that short, this dress must be worn with tights or leggings, which is a massive disappointment# That works but then it feels like you're hiding your body under baggy clothes = not ideal if you're trying to flatter your figure# Belted, it's quite stunning - until you see your entire side revealed, undies and all# This dress would be perfect for someone with my petit upper body build, but with very thin legs = skinny & curvy. 8.27.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by ClaudiCali Adorable Dress, Just Size Down This dress is adorable... mostly because of the cut of the dress and the color (pink). The fabric is just ok. When on, the dress looks fancier than it is. I'm normally a S or M but I sized down to an XS for this dress. The inner skirt fit shorter than it would have in a S, but the rest of the dress fits great! You can fancy up the look or wear it casual with some tights and flat boots. You can also wear it as a maxi skirt- with boots and a sweater! I love the versatility of the dress! 1.3.2012

Kosher Side Dishes
|Caribbean Peach Chutney
Adapted from Ball Beginner's Guide to Canning & Recipe Booklet
Chutney is a spicy condiment made of chopped fruits and/or vegetables and cooked in vinegar and sugar with ginger and spices. This recipe for Caribbean Peach Chutney uses sweet summer peaches, dark and light raisins and brown sugar for sweetness and vinegar and hot banana pepper for the tang and heat. Add to that, cinnamon, gingerroot, nutmeg and cloves and you have a chutney that is divine! Serve it with fish, poultry, tofu; as an accompaniment to a cheese tray or with Indian-style recipes.
1/2 cup peeled, chopped gingerroot
Tie gingerroot in a large square of cheesecloth,**,creating a spice bag. Set aside.
Combine vinegar and peaches in a large stainless steel saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil, stirring constantly, until peaches are tender, about 10 minutes. Add brown sugar, onions, green peppers, banana pepper, dark and golden raisins, candied peel and salt; return to boil. Reduce heat and boil gently, stirring frequently, for 30 minutes. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and reserved spice bag. Boil gently, stirring frequently, until thick enough to mound on a spoon, about 15 minutes. Discard spice bag.
Prepare stockpot/canner and jars in the meantime, as directed in step-by-step instructions.
Ladle hot chutney into jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles; re-measure headspace. If needed, add more chutney to meet recommended headspace. Wipe rim; center lid on jar. Screw band until fingertip-tight.
Process filled jars in boiling water for 15 minutes. Remove stockpot lid. Wait five minutes, then remove jars and cool and store.
Yield: 3 pint sized jars
*If not using candied peel, add additional 1/2 cup chopped peaches.

Retro-fitting modern, overdrive transmissions into early musclecars is nothing new, and with the rapid raise in gas prices (only two dollars a gallon as this is being written) the trend is sure to grow. The most popular swaps continue to be the 700R4 and the 200R4, both of which are good choices and have their advantages. The physical swaps are straightforward, but the one component that still mystifies many people is the throttle-valve (T.V.) cable setup. If the T.V. cable is not set correctly, the transmission can operate poorly, and its life can be greatly shortened. When connected to the throttle linkage mechanism, a correctly set up T.V. system will pull the cable, causing the part throttle/detent valve inside the transmission to immediately start moving with even slight carburetor-linkage movement.
Designing a pulling arm on your carburetor's linkage that pulls the T.V. cable this fixed distance is the easy part. The challenge really begins when you want the transmission to behave in a specific manner. The physical dynamics of this cable pull can vary radically with different pulling-arm designs which control the rate of plunger travel speed just off idle and determine the shift timing and shift feel of the transmission.
Bow Tie Overdrives has just released a quick, easy, and very precise throttle valve control system for correctly setting up this relationship in minutes, not hours, and allows a wide range of adjustments for fine tuning the transmission's shift timing and shift feel. The system is available for Edelbrock Performer series, Carter AFB, Demon and Holley 4100 series carburetors.
We started by removing the carburetor and gaskets and cleaning the intake surface. We then installed the supplied open-bore gasket and the new, square-bore base plate with the four, small, threaded holes positioned to the driver's side rear. The gasket with the four throttle-bore holes was next.
The new T.V. cable-mounting bracket was then bolted over the four holes in the base plate using the four 10/32-inch pan head bolts (Do not install any spacers between the base plate and the cable-mounting bracket). The new T.V. cable to the transmission was attached, routed up to the carburetor, and snapped into the T.V. cable-mounting bracket.
While the carburetor was off the engine, we installed the new linkage adapter. We pre-assembled the three-piece adapter to see how it went together. It will sandwich over the carburetor's stock linkage, indexing over the lower, stock cable-attachment hole with the raised lip.
We used the adapters front plate as a drill guide and drilled a hole approximately half the way through the carburetor's linkage with the supplied .144-inch (#27) drill bit. (Note: We didn't drill all of the way through the carburetor linkage at this time because it would have damaged the back plate's threads.)
The three-piece stack was placed over the stock, raised-lip, kick-down stud location and to the linkage using two 6/32-inch pan head bolts through the two unobstructed holes in the adapter stack. Only two of the three 6/32 pan-head bolts can be installed because the carburetor's linkage prevents installing the pan head bolt in the upper left hole. A hole needed to be drilled through the carburetor's linkage to allow the third pan-head bolt to be installed.

NORMAN, Oklahoma (AP) By knocking down 15 of 30 3-point attempts - 10 in the first half alone - Iowa State proved to Oklahoma why it's the best long-range shooting team in the Big 12 on Saturday.
Iowa State (17-6, 7-3) was one 3-pointer short of tying a school record in a 77-70 victory that gave the Cyclones their third straight win.
"We got off to a great start," second-year ISU coach Fred Hoiberg said.
The Cyclones opened the game with four consecutive 3-pointers, so it was obvious they had the hot hand.
It was the 11th time this season ISU has made at least 10 shots behind the arc.
Melvin Ejim scored 21 points to lead five Iowa State players scoring in double figures.
Andrew Fitzgerald's career-high 27 points led the Sooners (13-9, 3-7), who focused on shutting down ISU leading scorer Royce White. White finished with three points, taking his only field-goal attempt with 1:38 remaining.
Scott Christopherson added 15 points, Chris Babb 12, Chris Allen 11 and Tyrus McGee 10 for the Cyclones.
ISU hit all four free-throw attempts in the final 30 seconds to seal the win.
"I was very pleased with our poise down the stretch," Hoiberg said. "For the third straight game, we did a good job of not forcing it, getting it in the right person's hands and not taking a bad shot."
Iowa State shot 10 of 18 from beyond the arc in the first half. Oklahoma made just one 3-pointer but scored 10 points off of six Cyclones turnovers, made 7 of 8 free throws and had 11 second-chance points.
Despite ISU's hot long-range shooting, Oklahoma never trailed by more than five points in the first half.
With a two-point halftime lead, the Cyclones never trailed in the second half but couldn't extend their lead beyond an eight-point margin.
Oklahoma tied the game with 7:48 remaining when Carl Blair scored on an uncontested drive to the basket. Babb then drained a 3-pointer as the Cyclones outscored the Sooners 18-14 for the rest of the game.
It was Iowa State's first win in Norman since 1996.
"They had a lot of open looks," Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger said. "We wanted to give some help on White, of course, but not any more than we could get back to the shooter. We didn't handle that as well as we needed to."

In most cases, the best time to diagnose cancer is before it produces any signs or symptoms at all. But, if this is not possible, it is important to know what kind of clinical findings may indicate cancer. A sign is an objective indicator of an abnormality or problem usually detected and interpreted by a physician. Examples include blood pressure, temperature, masses, and weight loss. A symptom is a subjective report provided by the patient. Examples include pain, dizziness, and headache. According to the National Cancer Institute, the most common signs and symptoms of cancer include:
- Thickening or lump in the breast or any other part of the body, including persistent swelling in the lymph nodes
- Conspicuous change in a wart or mole
- Sore that does not heal
- Nagging cough or hoarseness
- Persistent changes in bowel or bladder habits
- Persistent indigestion or difficulty swallowing
- Unexplained changes in weight (up or down), or change in girth
- Unusual bleeding or discharge
Certainly, in most cases these symptoms are not caused by cancer. They may be due to infections, benign tumors, or other medical problems. However, if you are experiencing any of these symptoms, your doctor should be the one to make the determination.
Your doctor will take a complete medical history and perform a routine physical examination. The history will include important information such as a detailed description of your current symptoms, past and ongoing illnesses, family history of cancer, or exposure to known or suspected cancer causing agents. During the physical exam, your doctor will carefully check for any suspicious abnormalities such as masses, alterations in the skin texture or color, or an unusual swelling in the lymph nodes or other organs. To learn more about the possible causes of cancer, see the causes of cancer section in Cancer 101.
Your doctor will combine all the information from your history and physical exam to determine the likelihood of cancer. Based on this assessment, he or she may either perform specific tests designed to detect the cancer or, if a cancer diagnosis is unlikely, teach you what signs and symptoms to look for in the future.

As a result, the elegant, stylishly appointed Maritim Hotel Königswinter makes the perfect venue for professional events of every type and size. Maritim Hotel Königswinter has been a Sustainable Bonn partner since 2009. As part of this project, staff have developed a sustainability concept that includes the Green Meetings package which is completely devoted to sustainability, from the fair trade coffee and organic food served during coffee breaks to the recycled pens and paper in the meeting rooms.
The Maritim Hotel Königswinter's idyllic location on the banks of the Rhine at the foot of the Siebengebirge hills makes it particularly suitable for combining events with fringe activities, such as riverboat cruises or wine tasting at a local winery. Cologne/Bonn airport and the trade fair venues of Cologne and Bonn and are just 15 to 20 minutes' drive away.
The hotel has 250 elegant rooms; most range in size from 20 to 40m² but there are also 32 tastefully decorated junior suites (40m²), many overlooking the Rhine. Facilities include the Rheinterrassen restaurant with panoramic views of the Rhine and a fantastic summer terrace. River excursions are available from the jetty directly in front of the hotel.

St GermainSt GermainLearn MoreCloseSt GermainSt Germain
St Germain (aka Ludovic Navarre), whose albums Boulevard (1995) and Tourist (2000) originated a genre of French electronic music that later included artists like Air, has returned to the studio to create his first album in 15 years. The self-titled record marries percussive grooves, which have always been central to St Germain's sound, with a new element: traditional Malian music. Pre-orders of the album include an instant download of the opening track, "Real Blues."
The ArcsYours, Dreamily,Learn MoreCloseThe ArcsYours, Dreamily,
The Arcs' debut album, Yours, Dreamily, features 13 tracks written and recorded collaboratively by the band—Dan Auerbach, Leon Michels, Richard Swift, Homer Steinweiss, and Nick Movshon—with the musicians playing a large array of roles both vocally and instrumentally; also on the album are Kenny Vaughan and Mariachi Flor de Toloache. Co-produced by Auerbach and Michels, the album was recorded in roughly two weeks of informal sessions in LA, NYC, and Nashville. Pre-orders include an instant download of the album track "Stay in My Corner."
Lianne La HavasBloodLearn MoreCloseLianne La HavasBlood
English singer/songwriter/guitarist Lianne La Havas's album Blood was inspired by her Jamaican and Greek family heritage. Lyrically, the songs she wrote are almost all related to "the feeling of who you are and where you come from," she says. Musically, she took inspiration from Jamaica's love of grooves, rhythms, and syncopation. Dancehall/reggae producer Stephen McGregor joined in the making of Blood,as did a rich collection of others. Pre-orders include an instant download of the album tracks "What You Don't Do" and "Unstoppable."

The Bad Plus Joshua Redman is the debut album from the eponymous quartet. Seven of the album's nine tracks are new compositions by quartet members. "The album is a knockout," exclaims the New York Times. "It is impressive how much vital presence [Joshua Redman] brings to the Bad Plus without altering the band's dynamic." It's "a roaring and beautiful summit meeting," says NPR. "The ideas are impressive by themselves, but become more powerful as Redman and the rhythm section go about developing them ... [T]he real triumph of The Bad Plus Joshua Redman: It exhibits genuinely fresh thinking."
Mbongwana StarFrom KinshasaLearn MoreCloseMbongwana StarFrom Kinshasa
Congolese seven-piece band Mbongwana Star's debut full-length album, From Kinshasa, a World Circuit release, features members of a new generation of Kinshasa musicians embodying the concept of "mbongwana," or "change." Along with Parisian producer Doctor L, the band fuses traditional Congolese rhythms with European post-punk bass and busted electronics from recycled and reconstructed instruments miked and distorted in unexpected ways. It's a "wonderful kind of collaboration," says NPR. "The sound is out of this world." Chicago Reader says the "album is a blast ... stunning." Says Noisey:

The label debut from Tyondai Braxton, HIVE1 comprises eight pieces originally conceived for a performance work called HIVE that debuted at New York's Guggenheim Museum in 2013 and evolved into HIVE1. The Washington Post has called Braxton "one of the most acclaimed experimental musicians of the last decade." Q calls the album "a sonically absorbing experience." NPR says: "[W]hat sets this album apart is its playfulness—the feeling that experimenting with sound is a joyful game."

Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell's The Traveling Kind comprises 11 duet tracks, including six new songs written by Harris and Crowell with co-writing by Mary Carr, Cory Chisel, Will Jennings, and Larry Klein. Produced by Joe Henry, the album follows the longtime friends' Grammy-winning first duet album, 2013's Old Yellow Moon. "Here, they consciously embrace the full breadth of their expression," says NPR. "This is what it sounds like when true equals, both deep into their journeys, draw out the best in each other." Rolling Stone says: "Their creative partnership sounds stronger than ever."

Singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Olivia Chaney makes her album debut with The Longest River. On the album, Chaney balances her original compositions with a broad array of covers she has newly arranged, from jazz to Purcell to folk. "Her voice holds the purity, tension, dignity and sorrow of a heritage full of songs about lost love and cruel fate," says the New York Times. "Chaney is thoroughly grounded in the past, from medieval music to [Joni] Mitchell. But in her quiet way, she's radical." The Observer calls the album "an enchanting, stately creation."

The Wilson College Theater Minor combines an academic and performative study of theater to offer students with an abiding interest in the theater a way to combine courses over several disciplines into a concentrated minor. The minor focuses on both the academic study of theater—the critical study of drama and dramatic writing—and the performative study on theater—including introductory acting techniques, playwriting, and directing. The Theater Minor not only teaches students the rudiments of these skills, but also teaches them how to think critically about dramatic text and performance, how to speak clearly and ably in a public forum, and how to express creative and critical thoughts in writing. Students also complete a significant independent project in theater wherein they must demonstrate their ability to conceive and organize a large directing, writing, or academic project.

Why tip-toe around the color wheel, creating safe, less-is-more palettes, when you could be having fun? That's Larry Laslo's philosophy. "I'm a great believer that you have to be fearless," says Laslo, the creative force behind New York–based Larry Laslo Designs. "You really have to saturate a room with color. Two purple pillows is not my idea of using color."
And in his view, predictable color combinations are just as timid as shying away from color overall. Sometimes unusual pairings can help us see color and spaces in fresh, new ways. "When you look at a combination of colors that seems startling, think again," he urges.
That sense of adventure is woven into the fiber of Laslo's new Destinations fabric collection for Robert Allen. To create the collection, Laslo channeled two of his favorite places, South Florida and Aspen, then put his own spin on their signature hues.
His Miami Beat group features bold ethnic and graphic patterns in bright, vibrant colors and high-energy accent hues. Like Miami, "it's chic, hip and bright," he says. Rustic Chic, his Aspen-inspired group, is more laid-back, yet still adventurous, with textural constructions and nature-inspired hues. "It's more of a neutral palette," he says, "a new variation on the tried and true."
Laslo handpicked a palette of Sherwin-Williams paint colors to complement the Destinations fabrics. When designing a space, he often likes to splash the strongest color on the walls. "Paint is the least expensive thing to change," he notes. "Most of my clients are terrified of a turquoise or yellow sofa. It's much easier to repaint than reupholster."
For Laslo, pairing paint colors with fabrics is an intuitive process. "It really is gut," he says. "I don't believe in trying to painfully match."
One of his favorite paint colors is Heartthrob (SW 6866), a bright, true red that helps print fabrics make a big impact. Laslo recently splashed the color on the walls of the "Poker Room" he designed for the Esquire SOHO ultimate bachelor pad. "I love Hearthrob. It's one of the best clear, lipstick reds in the business," he says. "That's hard to find. Most reds are either too orange or too burgundy."
Even black walls can be a dramatic backdrop that sets off other elements. Laslo likes Tricorn Black (SW 6258) with Deco Flair in Domino, a graphic black-and-white print fabric with more white than black. "With black [walls] you would probably use a fabric with lots of relief. When you do an intense color, you don't want the whole room that color. You want a background for other colors to pop."
Red or black walls won't fly with all clients, obviously, but more subtle hues don't have to be boring and predictable. "We're so tied to beige, but there are a lot of gorgeous grays that can play that role," Laslo says. "Garret Gray (SW 6075) is a great color with anything you put it with."
Laslo likes to explore color with his clients before committing to a palette. "I'm a great believer in finding a client's inner self," he says. "Usually I don't let them buy anything the first month unless I know them well." Instead of scheduling shopping expeditions, he prefers to start out by taking new clients on museum visits, to experience and react to color in other applications.
Whether your client is bold and adventurous, or wants to play it safer, there is a wide range of combinations within the Destinations collection designed to help you strike the delicate balance between creating a high-impact palette and respecting a client's comfort zone. Here are some ideas from Laslo.
Miami Beach
Less bold: Take the classic blue-and-white palette, but put a fresh spin on it with turquoise. "Everyone loves blue and white, but turquoise is a little more hip," Laslo says. A soft tone-on-tone textured turquoise fabric, such as Artisanal in Aquatic, with Extra White walls (SW 7006) will evoke the Miami spirit in a sophisticated way. "It gives it a beachy feeling without being corny," Laslo says.
More bold: Lemony yellow, paired with turquoise, is a juicy, just-squeezed way to add Florida sunshine to a color palette. "Orange and lime have been with us, and they're still good, but we haven't embraced yellow in a long time," Laslo says. He likes Decisive Yellow (SW 6902) walls to set off Art Basel, a fabric with a bold pattern that suggests wide paintbrush strokes, available in Cerulean, Lime Peel or Aquatic.
Rustic Chic
Less bold: For a sophisticated, nuanced look, Laslo pairs Aspen Lodge fabric – a subtle patterned stripe in Stucco – with Threshold Taupe (SW 7501) walls. "These are great comfort colors and a new take on traditional neutrals," he says.
More bold: Saturate the walls with rich, earthy Sconce Gold (SW 6398) or Rookwood Terra Cotta (SW 2803). Either color will create a dramatic backdrop for the graphic Las Olas screen-print fabric in Cobblestone.

Someone brought me a laptop and said that some water fell on it. He tried to turn it on again (plugged in and with the battery in, first mistake) and it wouldn't turn on.
On the "bright side", where the charging connector is, there is a light that lights up when the charging connecter is plugged in. That still lights up when I plug it in so thats a good sign
Im going to just drench it in rice for some days but any other ideas and/or thoughts?

Goodness. I like PHP. I use it a lot. I've been using it since early 1996. I'm Zend Certified, have done billion dollar ecommerce projects in PHP, and like to think I know a little bit about PHP. It is *NOT* "object oriented". I wish people would quit saying it. Perhaps there's a need to impress non PHP people, or to try to get across the idea that PHP supports objects. Maybe that's fair, but I don't think so.
His reasoning is that, despite the phrase "object oriented" being applied to PHP, its functionality does not hinge on objects. He suggests a "more correct" term to replace it - "object capable". This shows that PHP can use objects but, because of its procedural roots, doesn't have to.

commandlinefu.com is the place to record those command-line gems that you return to again and again.
Delete that bloated snippets file you've been using and share your personal repository with the world. That way others can gain from your CLI wisdom and you from theirs too. All commands can be commented on, discussed and voted up or down.
If you have a new feature suggestion or find a bug, please get in touch via http://commandlinefu.uservoice.com/
You can sign-in using OpenID credentials, or register a traditional username and password.
First-time OpenID users will be automatically assigned a username which can be changed after signing in.
Every new command is wrapped in a tweet and posted to Twitter. Following the stream is a great way of staying abreast of the latest commands. For the more discerning, there are Twitter accounts for commands that get a minimum of 3 and 10 votes - that way only the great commands get tweeted.

Get there by going backwards and forgetting the numbers.
when someone mail you his ssh public key, and the lines are broken with '\n', you can reconstruct a new file with one key by line with this command.
Will create a sample etc host file based on your router's dhcp list.
Now I know this won't work on most routers, so please don't downvote it just because it doesn't work for you.
This will calculate the your commandlinefu votes (upvotes - downvotes).
Hopefully this will boost my commandlinefu points.
Get Google Reader unread count from the command line.
You'll have to define your auth token with $auth
Or use:
curl -s -H "Authorization: GoogleLogin auth=$(curl -sd "Email=$email&Passwd=$password&service=reader" https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin | grep Auth | sed 's/Auth=\(.*\)/\1/')" "http://www.google.com/reader/api/0/unread-count?output=json" | tr '{' '\n' | sed 's/.*"count":\([0-9]*\),".*/\1/' | grep -E ^[0-9]+$ | tr '\n' '+' | sed 's/\(.*\)+/\1\n/' | bc
This is a minimalistic version of the ubiquitious Google definition screen scraper. This version was designed not only to run fast, but to work using BusyBox. BusyBox is a collection of basic Unix tools that have been compiled into a single binary to save space on tiny installations of Unix. For example, although my phone doesn't have perl or the GNU utilities, it does have BusyBox's stripped down versions of wget, tr, and sed. It turns out that those tools suffice for many tasks.
Known Bugs: This script does not handle HTML entities at all. I don't think there's an easy way to do that within BusyBox, but I'd love to see it if someone could do it. Also, this script can only define a single word, not phrases. (Well, you could if you typed in %20, but that'd be gross.) Lastly, this script does not show the URL where definitions were found. Given the randomness of the Net, that last bit of information is often key.
if you, like me, do not have the numsum, this way can do the same.
** Replace the ... in URLS with:
Couldn't fit in 256
Created on Ubuntu 9.10 but nothing out of the ordinary, should work anywhere with a little tweaking. 5163 is the number of unique first names you get when combine the male and female first name files from. http://www.census.gov/genealogy/www/data/1990surnames/names_files.html
A way not so simple but functional for print the command for the process that's listening a specific port.
I got the pid from lsof because I think it's more portable but can be used netstat
netstat -tlnp
Better -and faster- using bash printf.
eliminates "l" and "o" characters change length by changing 'x' here: cut -c 1-x
A bit different from some of the other submissions. Has bold and uses all c printable characters. Change the bs=value to speed up and increase the sizes of the bold and non-bold strings.
Use if you have pictures all over the place and you want to copy them to a central location
Find jpg files
translate all file names to lowercase
backup existing, don't overwrite, preserve mode ownership and timestamps
copy to a central location
This is similar to how you would generate a file with all zeros
dd if=/dev/zero of=allzeros bs=1024 count=2k
A slightly shorter version. Also doesn't put a return character at the end of the password
no need that useless cat.
generate password
Uses the dumb terminal option in gnuplot to plot a graph of frequencies. In this case, we are looking at a frequency analysis of words in all of the .c files.
