The original Bowlmor Lanes boasts a luxury sports bar, a full-service restaurant, a 16,000 square-foot circus-themed event space—and, oh, yeah 42 bowling lanes (which, naturally, glow in the dark). The facility's upscale nightlife aesthetic—which essentially redefined the sport for a generation—has helped it draw such notable personalities as Drew Barrymore and Sarah Jessica Parker.

Comments about Men's Guide Pro Pants:
These pants were uncomfortable. The side leg zipper pocket turns toward the back, which is awkward and small and won't hold a cellphone.
Best Uses
Comments about Men's Guide Pro Pants:
These are great fitting pants with the stretch fabric allowing for good movement. Light weight fabric is quick to dry, with the downside of not supporting a large pocket knife or other commonly carried stuff. I bought one and after wearing, ordered another color.

Comments about Men's Guide Pro Pants:
I had not previously considered EB for my outdoor clothing since I do a lot of ultralight backpacking, but the design of these pants attracted my attention. I ordered them online and they came fairly fast. The first thing I noticed was the incredible quality of both the material and construction. The seams were perfect and the zipped leg pockets are the best I've encountered. The size is definitely true and they feel great. The only issue was I had to have the leg extended by about a half inch (I have a 33 inseam which is hard-to-find). The alternation business did a great job and now the pants are perfect.
I intend to use these traveling as well as backpacking. The material is super-light, but adequate and I'm confident they'll dry out well. I'm now a EB customer!
Best Uses
Comments about Men's Guide Pro Pants:
I recently purchased the Men's Guide Pro Pants for travel to Massachusetts and Maine, where the activities would range from professional conference, to casual sightseeing, to climbing Mt. Katahdin. For the duration of the travel, the temperatures were in the upper 80s and low 90s with high humidity, and the Guide Pro Pants were perfect: lightweight, breathable, and quick-drying. Paired with the Signal Polo Shirt, the Guide Pro Pants were functional as business-casual clothing, as well as active travel and hiking (without screaming "THESE ARE HIKING PANTS!") Excellent product.

New Exhibit Opens at GMC Feick Fine Arts Center November 30
POULTNEY, VT - "Something Old/Something New," an exhibit from visual artist Ken Morgan, opens at the Feick Fine Arts Center November 30. An artist reception will be held December 3 from 4–6 p.m. Refreshments will be served.
Morgan is a Connecticut resident whose exhibition history spans three decades. He has received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Connecticut Arts Commission and the Pollock Krasner Foundation. Morgan graduated from the Vesper George School of Art in Boston and received a B.A. at the University of New Haven and a M.S. at the University of Bridgeport, Conn.
Morgan's unusual upbringing traveling with his family's acrobatic act continues to inform his visual art. As a child he performed with his father, two brothers and sister at carnivals, fairs and large venues such as Boston Garden and Madison Square Garden. In an artist statement he says that his "performing past surfaces and as an artist, today, I remain that entertainer."
A 2007 review in the New York Times described his work as evoking "something of the energy and dynamism of Mr. Morgan's early acrobatic years, with the artist allowing his drawing hand to move freely and intuitively over the page."
"Something Old/Something New" will be on display through January 8, 2010. The Feick Fine Arts Center is open to the public Monday through Friday from 1-5 p.m. There is no admission charge.

North Country Community College's proposal to create a applied technology center in the former Lowe's building in Ticonderoga is drawing rave reviews — as it should.
At the direction of President Dr. Steve Tyrell, NCCC has submitted an application for a feasibility study that could lead to the vacant store becoming a vibrant center of education and commerce. It will be some time before we know if the project becomes reality, but just the proposal has people throughout the area excited.
If the project becomes reality, NCCC will expand its degree programs in Ticonderoga. Specific curriculum have not yet been identified, but Tyrell expects an emphasis on green technology and middle skills. Middle skills are those requiring more than a high school degree, but not a four-year degree.
The proposed applied technology center could serve up to 450 students and could open in the fall of 2016. It will have no impact on the existing Ticonderoga campus or its programs, Tyrell said.
The Ticonderoga program would be based on a similar program at SUNY-Alfred, where Tyrell worked before coming to NCCC. The Alfred program offers college-level carpentry, masonry, electrician and other construction trade training. It also integrates energy conservation, alternative energy use and sustainable building design education and training into its academic programs, focusing on green building technologies in New York State.
Jim Major, chairman of the Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance, estimates the additional NCCC students in Ticonderoga would add $1.5 million to the local economy through retail and food purchases.
But there's more. The project could mean jobs for area residents.
Tyrell said the START-UP NY program could lead to businesses locating in Ticonderoga. That state program gives tax breaks to businesses aligned with the academic mission of a college campus, college or university.
Participating companies in START-UP NY will not pay any taxes for 10 years. Employees in participating companies will pay no income taxes for the first five years.

Moving Your Brand Into China? Look Before You Leap15th May 2014 0 Comments
Last week we blogged about the amazing potential in China's growing market for businesses that are looking to expand into the East, and ways in which social media sites like Sina Weibo and Tencent Weibo can help provide insight into an otherwise opaque market, from a Western perspective. This week we'll look at Western brands that got it right, and others that leaped before they looked, culturally speaking, and how they could've sidestepped such blunders by using social media to understand and target their market segment effectively.continue reading »

What connection does China have to social media? While it's well known that Asia's market giant is the world's largest exporter (and now also the second largest import economy in the world), what you might not know is that in 2012 alone, 309 million people in China used social media channels. This is roughly the equivalent of every man, woman, and child in the USA using Twitter or Facebook.continue reading »

There was a time, not so long ago, when they would be outside Fratton Park from daybreak to last thing at night. Harry Redknapp would wind down his car window to let us know who was next to arrive. He would thank his chairman and talk about how terrific it was to sign another player for a big fee and fat contract. Then he would drive away with a little wave to the crowd who had gathered expectantly.

Place Your Bets! The Odds Are Set On Who Will Be The Next Microsoft CEO
If you're the gambling type, you may want to set your sights on Microsoft, as the latest trend is to gamble on who the next Microsoft CEO will be.
With last week's news of current Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer's plan to step down within the next 12 months, people have taken to Vegas to bet on who his successor will be.
Anyone from Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer to Apple CEO Tim Cook can be wagered on, each with individual odds. Mayer's odds are currently at 33-to-1, while Cook's are a super long shot, at 100-to-1.
Vegas isn't anticipating Bill Gates making a triumphant return to the position he once held, with the odds for the Microsoft founder to reclaim his position set at 50-to-1.
Who's the most likely? Stephen Elop, the CEO of Nokia and former Microsoft employee, is currently sitting pretty with 5-to-1 odds, followed closely by Microsoft's current Chief Operating Officer, Kevin Turner.
If you're feeling confident as to who will be chosen as the new Microsoft CEO, feel free to put your money where your mouth is, as the odds are set! Who knows, maybe making the right choice could put you in position to find yourself buying into the company!

Sporting News' Matt Hayes picks the 10 best games of the weekend and throws in his upset pick of the week as a bonus.
Michigan (6-3, 2-3 in the Big Ten) at Purdue (4-5, 2-3)
12 p.m. ET, Big Ten Network
Boilers are beaten up, and Michigan still can't stop anyone defensively. Then again, neither can Purdue. Another game in the 40s, another Michigan win to sooth the uneasy masses in Ann Arbor.
Michigan 44, Purdue 41
Penn State (6-3, 3-2 in the Big Ten) at No. 8 Ohio State (8-1, 4-1)
3:30 p.m. ET, ABC/ESPN
We're now 10 weeks into the season and still know nothing about the Buckeyes, whose best victory is over a Miami team that's falling apart. This one won't be any bigger.
Ohio State 33, Penn State 16
Miami (6-3, 4-2 in the ACC) at Georgia Tech (5-4, 3-3)
12 p.m. ET, ESPN Gameplan
There's no other way to look at it: uber-talented and enigmatic Canes are a poorly coached team. Tech ends Miami's outside chance of playing for the ACC Championship game.
Georgia Tech 27, Miami 20
No. 16 Virginia Tech (7-2, 5-0 in the ACC) at North Carolina (6-3, 3-2)
3:30 p.m. ET, ABC/ESPN
Despite the drama-filled season, North Carolina can still win the Coastal Division with a little help. A hot quarterback (T.J. Yates) is critical in any November stretch run.
North Carolina 30, Virginia Tech 28
Georgia (5-3, 3-4 in the SEC) at No. 2 Auburn (10-0, 6-0)
3:30 p.m. ET, CBS
UGA defense needs more than off-field controversy to stop QB Cam Newton and the Auburn offense. Tigers are too close to reaching the Iron Bowl unbeaten to let this distract them.
Auburn 38, Georgia 24
No. 22 South Carolina (6-3, 4-3 in the SEC) at No. 24 Florida (6-3, 4-3)
7:15 p.m. ET, ESPN
Gators' one-dimensional offense – despite the three quarterbacks – will be easy for South Carolina to defend. If Gamecocks QB Stephen Garcia doesn't make game-changing mistakes, Steve Spurrier makes it back to the SEC Championship game.
South Carolina 20, Florida 17
No. 17 Mississippi State (7-2, 3-2 in the SEC) at No. 11 Alabama (7-2, 4-2)
7:15 p.m. ET, ESPN2
Don't think Missisippi State hasn't been distracted by the Cam Newton/Mississippi State fiasco – or that Tide coach Nick Saban will have the league's most talented team ready to play.
Alabama 31, Mississippi State 3
No. 1 Oregon (9-0, 6-0 in the Pac-10) at California (5-4, 3-3)
7:30 p.m. ET, Versus
Bears have played well at home, but the opponents weren't the same caliber as Oregon – and Cal had senior QB Kevin Riley for those games. Riley is injured and gone for the season, and the Ducks will have little problems.
Oregon 40, California 14
Clemson (5-4, 3-3 in the ACC) at Florida State (6-3, 3-2)
8 p.m. ET, ABC
Which FSU team shows up? The one with hot QB Christian Ponder and a defense that creates turnovers – or the team that plays with little fire and desire.
Florida State 31, Clemson 30
USC (6-3, 3-3 in the Pac-10) at No. 18 Arizona (7-2, 4-2)
8 p.m. ABC
If TB Nic Grigsby (ankle) is healthy and productive, it's not this close. Wildcats' secondary is good enough to eventually slow down USC's passing game, and force turnovers.
Arizona 35, USC 27
Underdog of the week
No. 12 Oklahoma State (8-1, 4-1 in the Big 12) at Texas (4-5, 2-4)
8 p.m. ET
Why Texas? Because it can't get any worse in Austin. At some point, this team full of talent is going to put it together and play well at home. This is the spot.
Texas 30, Oklahoma State 28
Last week: 6-5.
Season: 73-37 (.664).
Underdog of the week: 5-5.

Egg-in-the-hole goes by many names – "Egg in the basket", "hen in a nest", "one-eyed monster breakfast" ,"toad in the hole" etc.etc. Call it by any name – the end result makes a beautiful and attractive presentation. There is this story for how I came by this recipe. I was newly married and one fine morning after the usual breakfast of idli's – u know the typical south Indian breakfast – for many mornings past, my DH popped the sudden discussion about the importance of Protein and it is essential (blah blah and more blahs) ! I was like 'oook,so?". He asked me if I could make egg for him in the mornings. I hate eggs and promptly told him so. He was like 'its ok' and left it..but I felt bad and checked out online for recipes and made him Omelette one morning..he was v moved at my effort and I was so happy that I kept making him that recipe ever after!!! – until I got bored!.
So one of those peppy morning, I tried to be creative and came up with this recipe. He loved it. About a month after my 'invention' , i was surfing channels and suddenly i saw this channel ( i don't remember which ) where a woman was making eggs just this way calling it the famous American comfort food! I dint know whether to be happy or sad. Sad because, it sure was not unique and perfectly not my invention [discovery more like it] or happy that I had a TV show creativity :)
This is a v.v.v.v.v simple recipe and that which takes hardly any effort at all. Here goes
- 1 egg
- 1 bread slice
- 1/2 tbsp butter
- salt and pepper to taste
JulieOctober 8th, 2014 on 6:20 am
I was taught this when we were camping this summer. My 9 year old son brought a friend along. I asked what he wanted for breakfast and he told me "egg in a nest". I was like, what's that? Well, he told me and I gave it my best….we were camping. So I used a cup to kinda make a hole in my bread and they seemed to like it! Me too!

I am board certified in the defense of those who are facing criminal charges, which I have done exclusively for the last 16 years. I have considerable experience handling cases in both State and Federal courts, and I regularly practice in State and Federal courts throughout Central Texas.
I started my practice in Waco, Texas in 1994 and moved my office to Williamson County in 1996. I opened a satellite office in Austin in 1998. I earned my board certification in criminal law in 2000.
I have tried over 75 serious felony trials in State and Federal Courts throughout Central Texas. These cases have included driving while intoxicated (DWI), theft, aggravated assault, drug conspiracies, aggravated robberies, burglaries, sexual offenses and murder cases. I have even tried several death-penalty and non-death capital murder cases.
I have defended hundreds of federal criminal cases including RICO charges, child pornography charges, white collar cases, mortgage fraud cases, drug conspiracies, firearms cases, unlawful immigration cases, and misdemeanor charges committed on military installations and government property.
I have also handled thousands of state charges ranging from simple assault and disorderly conduct to DWI charges, sexual offenses, white collar cases and embezzlement, aggravated assault charges, all the way up to capital murder charges.

I do offer a free initial consultation and am happy to discuss a case over the phone. I will usually be able to quote a fee after this first consultation.
I generally charge a fixed fee depending on the seriousness of the offense and the extent of the client's criminal history. In extremely complex cases like mortgage fraud, banking fraud, construction fraud cases, RICO and the like I may charge an hourly fee instead.
I usually charge $250 an hour, but this depends on whether the case is in State or Federal Court and other factors.

It was not until I actually began practicing criminal defense during law school that I realized I wanted to make this my career. But once I started practicing criminal defense I have never seriously considered any other field.
Clients should educate themselves on legal issues to the extent that they are comfortable in doing so. For some clients, this helps them better understand the legal process so that they can ask me more insightful questions and better understand their options. Other clients do not want to deal with the process because it can be downright bewildering and frightening. I am perfectly comfortable discussing cases with either type of client.
Because my fee structure is usually based on a flat fee rather than an hourly fee, there is no additional charge for me to prepare the paperwork, so this is my preferred route. But I will gladly review and discuss whatever documents or ideas the client brings me.
A criminal defendant will always be prosecuted by a government lawyer, who usually will have years of experience in prosecuting criminal cases, who deals with the judge and courtroom personnel on a daily basis, and who has exclusive access to much of the discovery materials in the criminal case. For this reason it is not ever advisable for a person to attempt to represent him or herself in a criminal matter.
I worked in environmental inspection and enforcement in college, and as a private investigator and teaching assistant during law school.
I was raised by a criminal defense attorney so I was brought up to be familiar with the specific type of practice and personality traits required of a criminal defense attorney.
I am particularly strong at simplifying complex concepts. The key to understanding a complicated criminal case is in breaking down complex problems into manageable chunks so that a solution to a difficult problem can be devised.
My approach to a case is to first understand the client's needs and desires for the outcome of the matter. Generally, I will then methodically gather all the available information on the case, and then devise a plan for how to accomplish the goals of the client.
I am also an accomplished trial lawyer so in the event that the client's goals cannot be met through a dismissal or negotiated settlement I am perfectly comfortable and well able to take the case to trial.
I have an elementary age son who attends our neighborhood public schools and is a Cub Scout so I enjoy spending time with him on these matters. I also greatly enjoy sailing my sailboat in area lakes. I read a great deal and am very interested in politics and economics.

Pop up business school inspires local entrepreneurs
Posted: October 18, 2012|
Our PopUp Business School opened its doors at the beginning of October with the aim of teaching people how to start a business from scratch. For two weeks only, over 40 people from all walks of life learnt the skills they needed to turn their business ideas into reality.
Co-founder of the PopUp Business School model, Alan Donegan said: "It is incredible to see the personal journey that the people have gone on; from lacking confidence, knowledge and finances on the first day to having a trading business after only two weeks. It really shows that with hard work, you can achieve your dream!"
Throughout the two weeks, the PopUp Business School, which was held at the Motex Centre in Weston-super-Mare, ran a competition for the fastest business created. The award went to a local business that works with retail outlets to maximise their selling potential - in the first week, they received over 200 hits to their website and sold their first contract. The award was presented by John Penrose MP, who came along on the last day to show his support. Mr Penrose even took part in a social media workshop, learning how to make full use of Twitter.
The PopUp Business School was a joint venture between Alliance Homes and Knightstone Housing Association. Michael Williams, Business Enterprise Manager at Alliance Homes, said: "The way consumers and businesses interact is changing and new forms of media such as Facebook and Twitter are providing opportunities for business leaders from more diverse backgrounds. The PopUp Business School is the perfect way to help people gain valuable skills that allow them to embrace this new way of working."
Heidi Leyshon, Community Empowerment Team Manager at Knightstone, added: "We loved the innovation in this partnership. It gave residents in North Somerset a different solution to the local jobs market. The school has given people the confidence to take their ideas forward, make a difference to their lives and contribute to their local economy."

British automaker, Bentley Motors Limited, has only two model lines under its belt. Naturally, this information means that the entire car industry is looking forward to more models since the British brand has so much room left for expansion.
Recently, the newly revamped and redesigned version of the brand's Continental GT has rolled out into showrooms. Now, another new model—the Continental GT Drop-Top model—is set to be revealed at the Frankfurt show this year. Of course, we all couldn't wait to see the Speed and Flying Spur variants.
Another Bentley model, the Mulsann, has also been speculated to come up with a convertible and coupe versions some time soon. According to experts' speculations and reports, the British carmaker is set to unveil new model lines one of which involves an SUV model. Ironically, after all the talks of expansion, it has been said that the British brand is planning to economize.
The new Bentley Continental models will have an additional 4.0-liter turbocharged V8 engine plus the optional 6.0-liter W12 twin-turbo engine. As for engine power, now official word has been released but we assume it will be somewhere between 567 horsepower. According to rumors, these models will be revealed at the Detroit Auto Show this January. Perhaps by then, we would get a clearer picture of the engine speculations along with other details pertaining to exterior and interior aspects. Let's keep tuned to that and see what the British brand has to offer this year and the next.

Being a local, I was excited to score tickets to the Habs - Bruins preseason game at the Halifax Metro Center. Sure, it's preseason and it's not like I expected much in regards to the players I would see, or the final score, but it's hockey and it's the Habs and I knew what I was getting when I bought the tickets.
For the most part I was interested in seeing three players in particular: Erik Cole, Alexei Yemelin and Peter Budaj. Naturally, I also wanted a good look at the kids, most of whom have failed to impress me in the preseason play I've watched thus far.
The Good
If Scott Gomez keeps this up, he's in for a good year. The goal was nice, but what I saw was a determination, focus and effort level that he seemed to have misplaced for most of last season. He worked hard, played smart, and had some nice chemistry with Erik Cole.
Erik Cole is a nice addition to the roster. He's big, not afraid to get his nose dirty and is faster than he looks on television. He got a bit lazy once the wheels came off and resorted to cherry picking from the blueline, but with a full NHL squad around him he's going to create time and space and he's also going to find the back of the net.
The Habs fans contingent in Halifax, Nova Scotia is much larger than I thought. If we didn't outnumber the Boston fans in that little arena (capacity just over 10,000) then we at least met them halfway. Also the count of Go Habs Go chants from fans in the street was 10-2 over people who told us they sucked. Gotta like it!
The Bad
After watching them play a full 60 minutes, I have to maintain my previous opinion that the Habs rookie prospects are completely underwhelming. There's a bit of talent amongst them, but I don't believe most will ever make the NHL, at least not with this team.
They are so busy showing off that there is little teamwork, cohesion or vision on the ice. Most of the time they are unaware of where their linemates are, and they are all far too easily knocked off the puck. I don't recall them delivering a check until well into the third period.
At one point one of the kids was literally standing against the boards watching his linemates skate by, and he was totally surprised to when his centerman passed him the puck, which he immediately turned over. There was little evidence of "hockey smarts", with perhaps Aaron Palushaj being the exception.
Frankly, none of the kids are good enough to showboat at this point, and it is in direct conflict with the teamwork philosophy that the Canadiens have worked hard to develop as a team identity in the past couple of years.
I was also disappointed in Alexei Yemelin who failed to clear the blue paint, didn't seem particularly involved in the game, and like the rest of the team, didn't bother to deliver any checks until too late in the game. Only Alex Henry got frustrated and angry, for which he took a stupid penalty.
When it comes to the vets on the squad, Hal Gill's 10 foot reach is not always going to compensate for his lack of speed and that is brutally painful to watch without PK Subban to cover for it. Mathieu Darche and Andrei Kostitsyn were completely invisible for the entire night.
The Ugly
I know the defense around Peter Budaj was brutal and didn't help, but there were also goals he absolutely should have had. From where I sat center ice I could always feel him sweat and shake whenever the Bruins got a clear shot at him. He lacks confidence and rebound control, and does not track the puck well at all. Pierre Groulx has his work cut out with him here.
There is no excuse for giving up two short-handed goals like that. The power play showed little cohesion, passing too much and shooting too little. The penalty kill was a mishmash of panic and scramble.
So there you have it. If I were Jacques Martin and had to pick a 13th forward today to make the squad, I'd probably pick Palushaj, just because I think he will do the least damage and may even grow from the experience.
I do think that despite all the depth signings of defenseman by Pierre Gauthier over the summer, if the Habs sustain even half the injuries they did last season, we will be spending to the cap again. I have little faith in the defenders that are currently available for call-up.
Tyg used to frequent the Old Forum during her early childhood when he father held corporate season tickets, and she fell in love with Larry Robinson. So her lifelong obsession with the Habs is entirely his fault.

BashStyle-NG is a graphical tool and function chain that lets you do more with GNU Bash
BashStyle-NG consists of a graphical tool and a functionchain.
The graphical tool (bashstyle) is used to easily change a huge amount options
regarding Bash, Readline, VIm and Nano. The configuration is stored using ConfigOBJ.
The functionchain is used to realize the setup when starting a new Bash.
Besides a diversity of additional functions or wrappers is provided.
Another thing shipped is dirinfo (a simple, in-progress directory-indexing
mechanism for the shell), aswell as a first-run-wizard.
12 different prompt-styles are shipped, all of them can be modified using the
GUIs built-in custom-prompt-builder (CPB).
Every option and every function is described in the documentation.
Screenshots (click for larger size):
License: GNU GPL v3
Download required ConfigObj 5.x (with Python3 support, sources included):
Overview of changes in v8.99 "Nice Sprites"
- The first-run-wizard (bsng-wizard) has been removed, relevant options
have been merged into the main application, be sure to run the UI
(Style for colorshell, else Advanced > Extras/GIT) after upgrade to
re-adjust your settings that got lost by this change.
- This release removes the html-documentation. Instead every options will
have a tooltip showing the name of the configuration variable (or —
if none) and the description of the setting [work in progress].
=== Bug fixes ===
- #155 (configure): when using –python configure flag that given python interpreter was not used to check if required modules are available
- #156 (text2morse): python3 support in text2morse
- #157 (readline): when changing settings for readline they didn't take effect immediately
- #158 (lockfile): the lockfile module required additional fixes to fully work with both python2 and python3
- #159 (pkgconfig): install pkgconfig file into ${PREFIX}/share/pkgconfig, not ${PREFIX}/lib/pkgconfig
- #160 (nx-rc): fixed history settings from ui were not always applied on the shell
- #161 (colorshell): random selection of colors in colorshell hasn't really been random
- #162 (config): if a vendor configuration (/etc/bs-ng_vendor.ini) exists, let the revert configuration icon on GtkEntry and GtkSpinButton revert to vendor configuration instead of factory configuration
- #163 (colorshell): fix colorshell not being available to all prompt styles
- #164 (styles): fix PRE_PROMPT_COMMAND not available to monochrome versions of ayoli, clock, clock-ad and poweruser prompt styles [if you create a function of that name in ${HOME}/.bashstyle.custom you can hook into those style's PROMPT_COMMAND (the other styles don't have PROMPT_COMMAND) so you can freely create one for them)]
- #165 (colors): fixed pscolor not being set
- #166 (styles): fixed that most styles called trunc_pwd instead of truncpwd
- #167 (truncpwd): change the way truncpwd obtains it's settings, so that it always works as expected (and only loads them once)
- #168 (custom prompt builder): fixed custom prompt builder not properly inserting default styles into the textbuffers for further customization
- #169 (truncpwd): when maximum length of pwd is 0 don't truncate it all.
- #170 (config): when configuration file exists, but is broken, restore either vendor or factory default configuration for the user
- #171 (wrappers): if you felt brave enough to enable dirinfo wrappers, they still didn't work properly, because of a change in the setup mechanism that wasn't reflected in the wrappers
- #172 (clock-ad) (truncpwd): when changing to a user not having BashStyle-NG set-up prompts were incorrect, as some required settings for truncpwd, respectively clock-ad's internal pwd-truncating function, were not set
=== Wizard-Merge ===
*** the following options have been merged from the wizard into the main
application: colorshell, colorshell_reset, use_lscd, lscd_opts, cd_writer,
dd_noerror, restore_directory, debug_verbose, user_birthday, git_user_name,
git_user_mail, git_color, git_editor, git_aliases, git_signkey,
*** everything but the above as been dropped.
=== New Features ===
- Keybindings (Emacs editing mode)

Critically-acclaimed superhero parody only lasted nine episodes on Fox in 2001
"Spoon!" Patrick Warburton may soon revive one of his most beloved, and obscure, characters. The "Rules of Engagement" and "Family Guy" star is set to reprise his role as "The Tick" in an Amazon pilot, an individual with knowledge of the deal confirmed to TheWrap.
For nine episodes in 2001, Warburton brought to life Ben Edlund's lunatic superhero parody "The Tick." Based on a comic book, "The Tick" animated series ran for three successful seasons on Fox Kids in the mid-1990s. It didn't fare as well in live-action and in prime time, despite near universal critical acclaim.

Warburton worked out a deal with Sony Television, who have held the rights since the show's 2001 cancellation, to bring back the beloved character as an Amazon pilot. Amazon's latest batch of pilots are currently available for free viewing on the streaming network. The company has established a tradition of producing its pilots and then offering them for free so viewers can watch and vote on them. Based in part on this feedback, the company then decides which shows to move forward with.

The latest pilot project headed to series is Jeffrey Tambor's "Transparent," which will drop its entire 10-episode first season on Friday, Sept. 26.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) - Health department officials say 420 patients were screened at a Tulsa clinic after the Oklahoma Board of Dentistry said an oral surgeon may have put clients at risk for exposure to hepatitis and HIV.
Letters began going out Friday to 7,000 patients who had seen Dr. W. Scott Harrington during the past six years, warning them that poor hygiene at his clinics created a public health hazard.
Officials say hundreds of patients were screened for hepatitis B, hepatitis C and the virus that causes AIDS on Saturday at a special testing clinic in Tulsa. Health department officials say most people will be notified of their test results in about two weeks.
Testing will resume Monday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the North Regional Health and Wellness Center.

Style and Function Are Melded on This Late-Model Chevy
By Kevin Wilson
Photography: Kevin Wilson
Not long ago, when lowered late-model Chevys were all the rage, the hot look was a monochrome treatment with body-colored bumpers, door handles, roll pan and tonneau. Since that time, styling trends have come and gone, but the monochrome treatment still gets a lot of attention. Just ask Jason Arce whose basic white, '08 Chevy turns a lot of heads. Not only is it quick, his truck is a perfect example of what the monochrome treatment looks like on a late-model diesel.
The ingredients for Jason's recipe are simple: big lift, big powdercoated wheels, shaved emblems, and a clean approach to building the truck. As a sales rep for ATS in Avarda, Colorado, Jason's Chevy is also a rolling business card that shows customers just what can be accomplished with a late-model, GM Duramax truck.

Chateau Fonreaud
Vintage: 2010
2010 saw extremely high quality viticulture in many parts of the world, with an exceptionally long and hot summer providing huge benefits for wineries across many countries, especially in the southern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere and Europe saw something of a cooler summer and flowering period, but this was by no means as disastrous as it could have been. France, especially, had a fantastic year in 2010, with the world renowned Burgundy region proclaiming that their white wines of this year are ones to look out for, and despite yields being relatively small across much of the country, the quality was exceptionally high. Spain, too, received some cooler weather, but Rioja and the rest of central Spain are hailing 2010 as a very good year indeed, again as a result of smaller, finer yields. California also received similar climatic conditions, but again, wineries are highly positive about the overall effect this had on their produce, as the slightly challenging conditions resulted in smaller yields of much elegance and distinction. 2010 was really Australia's year, and in South Australia and across the Mornington Peninsula, Chardonnay vines produced good yields with a lower sugar level than in previous years. As such, the majority of South Australian white wines from 2010 are superb, and packed full of character. Shiraz also had a great year, and most Australian wineries have been proclaiming 2010 one of the great vintages. Both the Argentinian and Chilean wine industries benefited from some ideal climatic conditions this year, and are reportedly ecstatically pleased with the fact that their 2010 wines ended up with lower alcohol levels, and were beautifully balanced wines packed full of flavor.
Varietal: Red Bordeaux
The Bordeaux method of blending quality grape varietals is something which has long been imitated and envied around the world. Whilst there are six Bordeaux grape varietals allowed for the production of red wine in this region of France – Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Carménere – the most common and widely used combination involves a careful blend of the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, usually with a small percentage of Petit Verdot to boost the overall flavor and balance things out. This process accentuates the finer points of all these varietals, and takes the astringency of one type whilst rounding it out and mellowing it with the light tannins and fleshiness of another. The results are rarely short of spectacular, and are perfect for oak aging, where the flavorful magic of Bordeaux wine making can really take place, and the complex aromas and characteristics can truly come forward.
Region: Bordeaux
The Bordeaux region of France is possibly the most famous and widely respected wine region in the world. Known primarily for its exceptional blended red wines, made most commonly with Cabernet Sauvigon, Merlot and Petit Verdot grape varietals, it also produces superb dry white wines (both blended and single variety), alongside the highly esteemed sweet wines of Sauternes. All of these wine types use a careful mix of traditional wine-making methods alongside modern techniques, as well as more experimental and unorthodox practices such as turning their grapes over to the noble rot which intensifies the flavors in the sweet wines. Bordeaux benefits greatly from its position amongst wide river basins, and the cooling Atlantic breezes which blow across the rolling vineyards which cover this region.
Country: France
Year in, year out, France enjoys its prestigious reputation as the producer of the finest wines in the world. With a wine making history which spans several thousand years and owes its expertise to the Romans, it comes as little surprise that this most highly esteemed of the Old World wine countries continues to impress and enchant both novices and experts to this day. Despite the rise in quality of wines from neighboring European countries, not to mention the New World, the French wine industry continues to boom, with up to eight billion bottles being produced in recent years. However, France prides itself on always putting quality before quantity, and the wide range in fine produce is a testament to the dedication and knowledge of the wineries across the country. Indeed, from rich and complex reds to light and aromatic white wines, French wines are as varied and interesting as they are enjoyable to drink, making this country a firm favorite for wine lovers across the globe.

Instead of talking about himself, Kim Wilson used most of his acceptance speech for winning the South Carolina High School Principal of the Year award to describe one of his students.
He talked about Zorrie Green, who he said started at Stall High as an unfocused troublemaker, but who this year placed third in the state wrestling competition and has college aspirations. Wilson said Green represents the kind of transformation the North Charleston high school has experienced during the past few years.
"As a school, we are winners," he said.
Those who know Wilson say one of his strengths as a principal is the relationships he has built with students, faculty and the community.
"He's gotten people to believe in themselves and to believe they can succeed at Stall," said Lou Martin, an associate superintendent who oversees high schools.
That's one of the reasons the South Carolina Association of School Administrators picked Wilson as its 2014 High School Principal of the Year. The group made the surprise announcement at a Charleston County School District principals' meeting Thursday.
The association also named Andre Dukes, an assistant principal at West Ashley High, as the 2014 South Carolina High School Assistant Principal of the Year. West Ashley High Principal Mary Runyon called Dukes a phenomenal assistant principal who is always thinking, always proactive and has a passionate way of going about his job.
Wilson will go on to compete for national honors, and he's had a chance to study under a former award-winning leader. Wilson, 61, was an associate principal for Wando High School Principal Lucy Beckham, who was named the 2010 National High School Principal of the Year.
"We had some times together, and I'm proud of his success," Beckham said.
Wilson spent most of his 39-year career in education at Wando High, where he worked for 25 years as director of guidance and as associate principal. He became principal at Stall High in 2010.
Superintendent Nancy McGinley made the decision to put him at Stall High, an "at-risk"-rated, high-poverty school, because of the respect he had won from Wando High teachers and administrators. Although it was a difficult decision for Wilson to leave a school he loved, McGinley said Stall High needed a great leader and she was grateful Wilson recognized that and accepted the job.
The school has seen mixed test scores since then, and McGinley said she expected its results to "sky-rocket" in coming years.
"The results are yet to be seen," she said. "A foundation has been created."
Molly Spearman is executive director of the statewide association who presented Wilson's and Dukes' awards Thursday. Charleston County schools' winners were indicative of the kind of leadership present in the state's schools, and it shows the importance of that role, she said. Great teachers won't stay in a school if it doesn't have a strong principal, and Wilson has the whole package of what great leaders should have, she said.
"It takes the extra mile of passion and of really caring, and (Wilson) has that," Spearman said. "You don't have to be around long to realize that."

Acupuncture,Ease Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting
The most commonly stated fear of patients prior to elective surgery is not death or a surgical mishap. It's post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV), and 25 to 40 percent of surgical patients are at risk. Defined as any episode of nausea, retching or vomiting in the 24 hours immediately following an operation.
Acupuncture has been cited by the World Health Organization to treat over 43 conditions effectively by increasing the circulation of blood and lymphatic fluids, reducing muscular tension, and alleviating pain through the release of endorphins. By keeping the body balanced, acupuncture can both restore and maintain health.
In several recent studies, Acupuncture has been proven to lessen PONV symptoms. A trial in 2004 was done to look at the effectiveness of acupuncture in 220 women undergoing gynecological or breast surgeries. The patients who received acupuncture showed a significant decrease in the incidence of PONV. Another study conducted by Duke University Medical Center on breast surgery patients found positive results in the use of Acupuncture to prevent occurrences of post-operative nausea and vomiting. It also stated that Acupuncture increased general patient satisfaction post-op.
According to this study, 70 percent of women who undergo major breast surgery that requires general anesthesia experience PONV, making breast surgery the leading cause of nausea/vomiting post-op. However, 77 percent of the women who were treated with acupuncture suffered no PONV, nor did they require antiemetic drugs (anti-vomiting medication). The women who received acupoint stimulation also had less post-surgical pain.

ERWIN — Unicoi County Sheriff Mike Hensley said Thursday that the Unicoi County Sheriff's Department has decided to extinguish its efforts to introduce electronic cigarettes to Unicoi County inmates.
At its Monday night meeting, the county commission opted to table its consideration of an agreement that could have led to the sheriff's department being allowed to sell electronic cigarettes to inmates in the county's jail facilities. Hensley said due to concerns raised by commissioners at the meeting, his department will not pursue the proposal and that he has already contacted the county mayor's office to ask that it not be placed on a future commission agenda.
Concerns brought up by commissioners included questions over liability from an inmate health standpoint and whether the devices could possibly be fashioned into weapons.
"I looked at it in more depth, and there were some questions raised that I had to seriously look at," Hensley said.
Hensley said his department requested the commission's consideration of the measure as sheriff's department officials felt the electronic cigarettes would not only "calm" inmates craving nicotine but would also potentially generate revenue for the county.
"My department had been in contact with other departments doing this, and some good, positive comments were made about these cigarettes," Hensley said. "It did calm the inmates down and was a source of revenue for their counties."
Hensley said inmates would likely not look to manufacture weapons from the devices, as the program would have required inmates wanting to purchase a new electronic cigarette to return the previously used one intact.
Still, Hensley described introducing the e-cigarettes into the county's jails as a "double-edged sword." While he said there is no documentation stating that electronic cigarettes are not a safe alternative to smoking, there is none stating they are.
"I don't want to do anything to harm anybody," he said.

Business credit cards can be a very useful tool for small business owners and employees alike. There are many diverse benefits to using this type of credit card, most of which will become clear as you examine and compare business card offers.
Read on for three items that are extremely important to know and should not be overlooked when considering to apply for and use a business credit card.
1. Business credit cards differ from consumer credit cards.
Small business credit cards look much like consumer cards, but you will often find many differences worth noting. If your business is a sole proprietorship, a small general partnership, or even a small corporation, you typically won't notice any real difference. Your small business credit cards may operate almost exactly like your consumer cards.
However, there are implied differences that might be important to you. The most important is the ability to track your business spending and eliminate the potential confusion of mixing personal with business purchases. Credit cards for business offer a easy way to record your expenses to help reporting and tax issues.
In some cases, small business credit cards provide some extra "perks" as well. For instance, credit card companies may offer higher rewards (air miles, cash back, rebates, etc.). Another important reason to use business credit cards is to build a credit profile for your company.
Situations arise when you need to purchase supplies or inventory during tight cash periods. Your personal credit score is still important if you own a small business, but you'll want to separate your personal finances and business finances as much as possible. Keeping your personal and business affairs separate at all times can be critical.
2. Small business credit cards differ from corporate cards.
While many small business credit cards look and act much like consumer cards, corporate credit cards often operate differently. Consider these items:
Corporate cards often give you much more detailed spending reports than small business or consumer cards. These cards are specifically designed for larger corporations and can allow for tracking company spending in even greater detail. If used properly, these extra reports give you better control, recognition, and understanding of your operating expenses.
While personal and small business credit cards usually permit you to repay your balance over time, some corporate cards require that you pay off your outstanding balance every month. Most corporations pay all outstanding balances on a monthly basis anyway. They use credit cards more for tracking and recording expenses than for longer-term credit reasons.
Using corporate cards eliminates the need for a large petty cash fund and writing out expense reimbursement checks every month. Typically, corporations don't want to incur extra finance charges for monthly expenses, most of which will reoccur the next month anyway. Larger corporations like to use credit cards for business in thirty-day periods only.
Unlike consumer and small business credit cards, many corporate cards do have annual fees. There are at least two major reasons for this, neither of which is associated with any perceived "greed factor."
First, unlike consumer accounts, most corporate credit cards seldom carry "mature" balances – those amounts that remain outstanding for months. An annual fee can help offset this loss of income. Second, the detailed reports offered by many corporate cards may require extra cost (people, computer time, software, paper, etc.). An annual fee can help to offset this cost of this extra detailed information, as well.
Another difference is in the area of liability. Small business credit cards are issued in the personal name of the small business owner. That is, the business owner is required to supply personal financial information when applying for a small business credit card, and he/she will be responsible for repaying items charged to the card. Corporate cards, on the other hand, are typically issued in the name of the corporation, so the business itself will be liable for paying back charges, not an individual.
Related: Can I obtain a business credit card without being personally liable?
3. Using business credit cards can help at tax time.
Most experts would agree that the single most important benefit of business credit cards involves reporting and tax necessities. First, consider the importance and significance of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Should the IRS decide to conduct an audit of your business, having your expenses co-mingled with your personal charges can muddle the situation quite a bit.
Keeping your personal and business records correct and in distinct places can greatly improve your organization and the quality financial reports. Second, you'll often save money. Forcing your accountant or tax adviser to pour over combined personal and business records to separate the expenses takes time. And that time equals money out of your pocket.
If you are a less-than-diligent record keeper, then letting your business credit cards do much of the work for you becomes even more important.
