The BBC reported on a recent survey by the British Heart Foundation which found that most parents in the UK vastly overestimate the amount of exercise their children are getting. While 72% of parents believe that their children are getting enough exercise, according to the survey, only one in ten children actually get the recommended amount of exercise per day. As more children begin to suffer the ill effects of not exercising and because obesity in children is on the rise, there is added urgency to understand how weight impacts the lives of children.
A recent study by Clark, Slate, and Viglietti (2009), found that children who were severely overweight had significantly worse marks in all subjects than students who were not obese. The same was seen with standardized test scores and was found even when controlling for economic status or student conduct. However, the results were only found among white students; weight was not significantly correlated with grades for students in other ethnic categories. The authors caution that much more research should be done as their sample was somewhat limited and that people should be careful of studies looking at weight categories because many children go through growth-spurts at different times. Furthermore, it is important to remember that their research only showed that weight and academic performance were correlated. It is impossible to say that obesity causes low grades when it could very well be the other way around or other factors may influence both grades and weight.
Regardless, the study is interesting because it highlights that the issue of obesity may be worrisome not just because of its ill effects on physical health. Children who are overweight might suffer from low self-esteem or become victims of bullying or social exclusion, all of which could impact their physical and mental health. There are still a number of questions that social psychologists could help answer: Why does obesity negatively correlate with academic success? Do teachers treat obese children differently than non-obese children? Or, are children who are suffering academically less likely to exercise and eat a proper diet?

Quote: Torii Hunter on Moving to Right Field
"I can sit here and say, 'I want 10 Gold Gloves and center field is my position.' But, sometimes you have to slap pride in the face and all that individual stuff… All I care about is winning, man. I need a ring… I could stay in center field and try to run all day and then it takes longer for me to recover and really hurts the team because I can't feel my legs I've been running so much."

Manager Mike Scioscia recently moved Hunter to right field, while putting rookie OF Peter Bourjos in center field.

Hello Everyone,
I have been practicing metta meditation and have found it of great benefit. I always want to stick as close to the sutta's as possible, so my question is: what are the sutta's on metta meditation?
I found the metta and Karanya metta sutta's through google but they seem to be general discourses on metta.
Any references to sutta's about metta would be highly appreciated!

Re: wisdom teeth at bct
The most ideal choice is to get them removed before you head out for training. It's not worth risking being held over because you had to have several teeth removed. Have you been to MEPS yet? What did they say about your teeth? Are they causing you pain?
Re: wisdom teeth at bct
Sharks are not eligible for enlistment at this time.
Getting them removed at basic could limit you to your barracks for a day or two. This is a guess...considering you have 8 of them. You wouldn't want this happening while any kind of mandatory training is going on.

Re: wisdom teeth at bct
Basic Combat Training (BCT) is a training course that transforms civilians into Soldiers. So I think you should remove them. You can also consult with other senior army person and then take decision. I hope you will get right suggestion and right option.

Re: wisdom teeth at bct
It isnt necessary a guarantee that they would remove them at initial training if they are not causing you any issues currently or appear that they will in the near future. Wisdom teeth dont HAVE to always come out unless there are issues. I know years ago if a Military Dentist saw them on an xray they came out, but I dont think that is always the case anymore unless there is reason to. 10 extra teeth may warrant them removing though and you dont want that down time during manditory training. Do you have the funds or insurance to have it taken care of before going?

SCARBOROUGH, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Circus performers in Scarborough are preparing a parade performance that's fit for a President.
The Gym Dandies have been selected to perform in the upcoming Presidential Inauguration Parade on January 21.
"It's a real honor and privilege to be in an inauguration parade," said Gym Dandies founder Jon Cahill. "It comes around every four years, so it's the Olympics of parades."
The student group beat out more than 2,000 other applicants for a spot in the parade route down Pennsylvania Avenue.
Forty-one Scarborough students will be unicycling in the parade, some juggling at the same time.
"They put in hundreds of hours to get to this skill level to be able to do that," said Cahill.
Though they've appeared in parades as large as the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, the group comes from humble beginnings.
Cahill said it started in 1981 with a box of tennis balls and 10 enthusiastic kids.
He started by teaching his gym class how to juggle. Then, a student brought in a unicycle and said he wanted to learn how to ride.
Three decades later, the Gym Dandies has an alumni base 3,000 students strong.
"It's sort of humbling to see what's happened with this," said Cahill.
Parade performers range in age from nine to 18 -- and even the youngest among them recognize what an honor it is to participate in history.
"I am a politics nut, so really this is my dream to do it," said Mary Jane Uzzi, an eleven-year-old perfomer.
"I've written to Michelle Obama, and I told her about how I'm in the circus and stuff, and now we're going there."

Wellington Fire Fighters work to attach a hose to the hydrant in front of Wellington Elementary. The drill was the brainchild of Scott Rowley, Wellington Fire Chief, who said he had some new fire fighters that needed a real life situation to test their skills.
Lights, action and smoke in the halls. That was the scenario last week when Wellington Fire Fighters were called by dispatch to Wellington Elementary School. The school called dispatch telling them that there was smoke in the halls. Dispatch paged the fire fighters and they rolled up to the school just a few short minutes later. The only ones who knew it was a drill were Chief Scott Rowley and Principal Kerry Jensen of the school. The kids were informed it was a drill when they got outside, but the fire fighters know nothing of it until they started to evaluate the situation once they got in the building.

Mock Draft 1
Admittedly, this Mock is a bit skewed because I try to incorporate potential trade scenarios and I made the Thunder pick assuming that Memphis takes Thabeet, despite having Memphis taking Rubio in my mock. If Rubio goes 2 and Thabeet goes 3, then all of the other players get slotted down in my mock.
1. LA Clippers- Blake Griffin, PF Oklahoma. The only chance I see of them trading this pick is if Rubio falls to #3 and OKC packages Rubio with perhaps Jeff Green. It's a steep price, but Griffin is that good.
2. Memphis Grizzlies- Ricky Rubio, PG Spain. I understand the reasoning behind taking Thabeet here. They need a defensive center and Thabeet is exactly that. However, there are other talents in this draft. I am not sure if the Grizzlies will get their money's worth by taking him here. If they had to make the pick, perhaps it will be Thabeet, but I'll go with Rubio for now. Use Mike Conley as trade bait for a center. Perhaps Conley to LA for one of their centers, Kaman, Camby or Jordan?
3. OKC Thunder- Tyreke Evans, SG Memphis. If Thabeet is still here, then I'll go with Thabeet. But if Memphis takes him, then I am not sure if OKC would take Rubio and keep him (*see LA trade scenario above). There is talk that OKC would move Westbrook off the ball, but why? We all saw first hand what Westbrook can do when he has the ball in his hands. Why fix what is not broken? OKC covets length and defense. Evans would provide that at the 2, along with elite scoring capabilities. His athleticism and potential on both sides of the ball seem like a good fit.
4. Sacramento Kings- Demar DeRozan, SG/SF USC. If Rubio slips to 4, then he will go to Sacramento. The Kings need point guard help. That is why DeRozan might not be the pick even if Rubio is gone. I can see Holiday, Brandon Jennings, or even Steph Curry working with this pick.
5. Washington Wizards- James Harden, SG Arizona St.– This feels like a lock to me if he is still there. DeShawn Stevenson is not their answer at the 2. Perhaps Thabeet can be the pick, but I see Harden here.
6. Minnesota Timberwolves- Jrue Holiday, PG UCLA. The Wolves have 3 first round picks this year. I doubt that they use all 3, but while they need a PG, they can probably scoop one up later. Corey Brewer looks like a bench player at this point. If DeRozan falls to 6, then I can see him being the pick. I can also see Earl Clark perhaps leaping up here.
7. Golden State Warriors- Brandon Jennings, PG Italy. He looks like a perfect up-tempo guard and a good passer. He and Monta Ellis will look good in the same backcourt. Jordan Hill is an option here as well because of GS's need for a power forward.
8. New York Knicks- Stephen Curry, PG Davidson. Where there is smoke, there is fire. I do not buy that the Knicks would take Flynn or Lawson with this pick over Curry. However, I do believe that Curry is a last ditch option. I think that Walsh will explore every possible route to get Rubio. Also, if Thabeet falls to 8, I would be hard-pressed to imagine Walsh passing over him. I would not mind Holiday here though. Walsh loves Westbrook last year and Holiday appears to be in that mold.
9. Toronto Raptors- Earl Clark, SF/PF Louisville. The Raptors need help in the backcourt. If Tyreke Evans or even Steph Curry falls to this spot, I can see either of them being the pick. If not, the Raptors can opt to nab a guy like Flynn to be Calderon's caddy, but Clark can start right away and give the Raptors a long frontcourt with Bargnani and Bosh. This pick is about versatility.
10. Milwaukee Bucks- Jonny Flynn, PG Syracuse. The Bucks need help at the PG spot, especially if Sessions bolts.
11. NJ Nets- Jordan Hill, PF Arizona. Yet another late lottery steal for the Nets. They have been lacking at the 4 for a long, long time. Really ever since they let Kenyon Martin go. Hill might be that same type of forward for the Nets.
12. Charlotte Bobcats- Hasheem Thabeet, C UConn. In all reality, he goes either 1 or 2 to the Grizzlies or Thunder. My scenarios above are only hypothetical, This late in the lottery, Thabeet would fit nicely with Okafor upfront and would provide more defensive prowess for a Larry Brown team. If Thabeet goes earlier, which is most likely to happen, then Gerald Henderson should be the pick to shore up the backcourt with Augustin and perhaps Felton.
13. Indiana Pacers- James Johnson, PF Wake Forest. The Pacers need an athletic banger on their team. With Troy Murphy at center, Johnson can slide in nicely between Murphy and Danny Granger. Seeing Johnson play live, I can assure you all he is a beast.
14. Phoenix Suns- Eric Maynor, PG VCU. The Suns need a PG to eventually replace Steve Nash. Maynor is ready to step in and contribute immediately. He is also ready to take over a team as he did at VCU.

input:Code:#!/usr/bin/awk -f BEGIN{ RS="[[:space:]]+"; ORS="" } match($0,/^([[:punct:]]*)([^[:punct:]]+)([:punct:]]*)$/,f){ if(x != f[2]) { print y$0;z = FNR } x = f[2]; y = RT } END{ if(z != FNR) print f[3]"\n" }
"ana are mere mere
mere si portocale
ion are prune prune."
"ana are mere si portocale
ion are prune."
and now i want to expand the code to do the following:
"ana are ana are mere
ion are prune ion are prune"
"ana are mere
ion are prune"

You may have heard some of the recent discussions that the astrological zodiac is actually astronomically inaccurate. Because of shifts in the earth's axis called precession, similar to how a spinning top wobbles, the traditional zodiac has been drifting out of its original alignment for hundreds of years. That means that old zodiac signs have shifted in date and a new 13th constellation, Ophiuchus, could also be included in the zodiac. Thus, even if you buy into the idea that stars can influence your fate, astrologers have focused on the "wrong" stars for many hundreds of years. Now, hopefully most readers know that astrology is limited to, if we are being generous, "entertainment value" only (see Carlson, 1985 if you need empirical convincing). However, millions of people take astrology seriously, and that makes its appeal a topic of legitimate psychological investigation. So, why do so many people believe that horoscopes provide insight into their lives?
One answer is the Forer Effect, which is a cognitive bias where people are likely to interpret statements or predictions as being personally relevant. However, these statements can apply to nearly anybody. In a 1948 study, psychologist Bertram Forer gave participants a "unique personality analysis" and asked them to rate its accuracy from 1 to 5. The "unique personality analysis" was always the same, but had an average accuracy rating of 4.26. This was the statement:
You have a need for other people to like and admire you, and yet you tend to be critical of yourself. While you have some personality weaknesses you are generally able to compensate for them. You have considerable unused capacity that you have not turned to your advantage. Disciplined and self-controlled on the outside, you tend to be worrisome and insecure on the inside. At times you have serious doubts as to whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing. You prefer a certain amount of change and variety and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations. You also pride yourself as an independent thinker; and do not accept others' statements without satisfactory proof. But you have found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others. At times you are extroverted, affable, and sociable, while at other times you are introverted, wary, and reserved. Some of your aspirations tend to be rather unrealistic. Security is one of your major goals in life.
The "analysis" above was simply a combination of sentences from several different horoscopes. The effect has been duplicated by other researchers many times, with most people claiming it to be 80% to 90% accurate; it appears nearly any horoscope can apply to nearly any person. One of the tricks to this "accuracy" is to say two statements that appear to be opposites and cover everything in between, eg, "at times you are extroverted, while at other times you are introverted." A similar trick is to say something that is true of just about everyone, eg, "you need for other people to like you" or "you have considerable unused capacity." Finally, these statements tend to flatter our own egos. People tend to find personally relevant information satisfying, particularly when it is complementary, as many of the above statements are, eg, "you are an independent thinker."
While most of you are already aware of the psychological tactics that make astrology convincing to some people, pop psychology can exploit many of the same cognitive biases. When you hear about a psychological analysis method or personality test, be critical, consider the Forer Effect and ask yourself the following questions: What evidence is there to support the claims? Is the evidence peer-reviewed? Is the promoter selling something? Pop psychology can appear convincing because it often appears to have a veneer of academic rigor, and for this reason we must be especially critical and skeptical when considering psychological theories.

CANTON The St. Lawrence University mens hockey team will conclude its regular season without senior captain Kyle Flanagan.
Flanagan underwent successful surgery to have his appendix removed on Tuesday and will be sidelined for at least a week, if not longer, according to St. Lawrence coach Greg Carvel.
Hes out this weekend and possibly the following weekend, Carvel said. So were hoping that we get a (playoff) bye and give Kyle enough time to recover.
Flanagan, a Canton native, underwent the procedure on Tuesday evening at Canton-Potsdam Hospital in Potsdam, where he was admitted earlier in the day.
The surgery was successful, Carvel said. There were no problems or complications. He could be back with us in the next seven to 10 days.
After Flanagan called Brenda Crawford, St. Lawrences head athletic trainer, early Tuesday when he complained of pain, he was admitted to the hospital in the morning.
He woke up with the symptoms and our trainer took him to the hospital, Carvel said of the 24-year-old Flanagan. The symptoms were pretty extreme.
Its pretty routine, Crawford said of the surgery.
The Saints, who occupy third place in ECAC Hockey, conclude their regular season with a weekend road trip at Union on Friday and at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute on Saturday.
I honestly just found out about it five minutes ago, senior defenseman and assistant captain George Hughes said before the Saints afternoon practice. Hopefully hell be OK and hell get better as soon as he can so he can rejoin us.
Flanagan, who is a Hobey Baker Award candidate along with linemate Greg Carey, ranks third in the country in assists (28), is fourth in assists per game (0.90), is tied for fifth in points (42) and is sixth in points per game (1.35).
Flanagan, a dynamic center, has posted 142 career points, including 97 assists, in 130 games with St. Lawrence.
Obviously hes an irreplaceable player, Hughes said of Flanagan, who is one of 10 players in the programs history to serve as a two-year captain. Its pretty devastating to our team hes our leader and our captain. I hope he gets back as soon as possible and we just have to battle through this as a team.
Flanagan has generated 13 (4-9) points over his past 11 games and has recorded 13 multi-point games this season.
Kyle is a tremendous captain and leader of this team, Carvel said. He means so much to this team and this community, as well as what hes brought to and taken this program.
After missing eight games because of injury last season, Flanagan sat out one game this campaign as a precautionary measure because of a minor injury.
The Saints have already clinched home ice for at least the first round of the playoffs, and are in contention for a first-round bye.
Guys are going to need to step up in his place, Hughes said.
Its a big challenge, Carvel said. But luckily in hockey its not a one-man team its a 20-man team. Hopefully that will help us go into the weekend more focused and more determined to find a way to win.

The Internal Revenue Service announced Friday that taxpayers will be able to start filing two major tax forms next week covering education credits and depreciation.
According to an IRS news release, starting Sunday, Feb. 10, "the IRS will start processing tax returns that contain Form 4562, Depreciation and Amortization. And on Thursday, Feb. 14, the IRS plans to start processing Form 8863, Education Credits."
That means "almost all taxpayers" will be able to start filing their tax returns for 2012.
These forms affected the largest groups of taxpayers who weren't able to file following the Jan. 30 opening of the 2013 tax season.
The IRS says it will be able to accept the education credits and depreciation forms following the" completion of reprogramming and testing of its systems."
The agency is still preparing IRS systems to accept the "remaining tax forms" affected by the American Taxpayer Relief Act (ATRA) enacted by Congress on Jan. 2.
A full list of the forms that will be accepted the first week of March is available on IRS.gov.
Next week's opening covers two groups of taxpayers using:
• Form 8863, Education Credits. Form 8863 is used to claim two higher education credits -- the American Opportunity Tax Credit and the Lifetime Learning Credit.
• Form 4562, Depreciation and Amortization. Most of the people using the depreciation form tend to file later in the tax season or obtain a six-month extension.
Non-1040 business filers using Form 4562 can also file starting Sunday.

During a July 20 Department of Education event in Washington, D.C. — the third of its kind this summer — area schoolchildren were given access to free books, two of which featured Nickelodean's cartoon icons Spongebob and Dora the Explorer pushing an environmentalist agenda and encouraging children to accept the widely debunked notion of man-made global warming.
The books are part of Nickelodeon's "Big Green Help Series," a campaign launched by the network in order to teach children to help protect the Earth.
As noted by CNS News, however, one of the books takes a particularly controversial position, purporting not only that global warming exists, but that it is in fact a man-made phenomenon, and can only be solved if humans change their behavior:

Helper emergency personnel extinguish a house fire Tuesday. The April 16 blaze erupted at the Gene Carlson residence after a family friend apparently hit an electrical wire while drilling into a wall inside the home.
According to Helper fire chief Mike Zamantakis, the blaze spread up the wall into the attic. Crews arrived to find the fire moving through the ceiling, but prevented the house from becoming engulfed.
Crews used a camera which detects fire through walls and found several hot spots. Fire fighters chopped several small holes in the wall to extinguish the flames.
The roof had started to buckle due to gases trapped in the ceiling. By containing the fire, crews saved the structure and limited the damage to an estimated $5,000 to $10,000.
In addition to the Helper City Fire Department, a crew from Price and a county ambulance assisted at the scene as part of a newly formed rapid intervention team. The idea calls for two crews to respond to a structure fire along with paramedics. The team and extra emergency crews are part of a nationwide insurance measure as well as an added safety precaution.
The response of the rapid intervention team 'saved the structure from being completely destroyed,' indicated the Helper fire chief.
The owner of the home was out of town when the incident occurred, but family members handled the problems that arose due to the fire.

RANGERS 4 (EN) ISLANDERS 2 Better Effort, Similar Outcome
The ship on moral victories has sailed… This team needs a real one, badly.
Jack Capuano scratched alternate captain Kyle Okposo and his most veteran defenseman (Mark Eaton) and inserted nineteen year old rookie Nino Niederreiter into the lineup hoping to catch a spark and wake up some of the "passengers". It didn't look as if it was going to work in the first as the Isles were being outshot 4-1 after 6:30 of play.
What is becoming increasingly clear is that the Islander defensive strategy is not working. They are often caught with the three forwards below the tops of the circles in support of the defense. Once possession is gained, there are limited options for breakout passes, not enough speed to skate the puck out and often, there is a weak clear up the boards that is taken by the opposing defense, and the cycle starts over again. This was the calling card of a first period that saw the Isles dominated and outshot 14-5 and extremely lucky to be tied at one.
The first goal of the game found five Isles watching after a weak backhand clear found it's way to the stick of stick of Sean Avery who worked between the lot of them for a quick shot past Nabokov. The Islanders would answer a little over two minutes later on one of the best breakouts I remember seeing in recent games. The puck was pushed up quickly by Travis Hamonic to PA Parenteau who dished off a beauty of a pass to send Frans Nielsen alone on Henrik Lundqvist. Nielsen had so much space he almost looked shocked, but he sent a knuckling wrist shot through Lundqvist's glove for his sixth point in the last five games.
Toward the end of the period, Mike Mottau and Sean Avery were given matching unsportsmanlike conduct penalties (Avery was sent to the locker room for some reason) as they nearly came to blows after a Mottau hit and the typical subsequent Avery face-wash/chirp/glove magnet trifecta. The penalties carried over into the second, and the two went at it for real as soon as the penalties expired. (By "went at it", I mean stretched their laundry and swung each other around a little.)
The second period was the Islanders turn to dominate play as they outshot the Rangers 16-8 in the frame, but the Rangers manged to regain the lead. Ryan Callahan worked through Travis Hamonic in the corner to Nabokov's right and fired a cross ice pass to a streaking Steve Eminger who had somehow lost Jay Pandolfo and went undetected by Marty Reasoner to bang it past Nabokov. Again, there were more Islanders in the area than Rangers.
One of the surprises of the night was the work of the newly developed second power play unit featuring Blake Comeau, Michael Grabner, Nino Niederreiter, Brian Rolston and Travis Hamonic. They had sustained pressure, fantastic puck movement, and continued the pressure for well after the power play expired on a couple of occasions tonight. (Andrew MacDonald replaced Rolston towards the end of both power plays, and was outstanding). It is not the group of guys you would expect to generate that much pressure, but it may be interesting. Sometimes things just work.
The second period also saw a tremendous five on three penalty kill for over a minute and a half. About thirty seconds after Milan Jurcina's initial hooking call, Marty Reasoner was whistled for a trip. Nielsen, MacDonald and Hamonic were stellar throughout the kill. They were physical, moving people from in front of the net, not giving the Rangers anything to shoot at and were on for the entire minute and a half plus. That was the most gassed I have ever seen a hockey player. By the time MacDonald was whistled for a roughing (from a tremendous battle with Callahan), the three of them could barely move.
The third period saw some back and forth battling. At 6:58 of the third on an Islander power play, John Tavares showed his vision by firing a pass through the crease from the corner to Lundqvist's left that landed right on Matt Moulson's tape for an easy tap-in knotting the game at two. Unfortunately, the
misplay of the night is going to be Josh Bailey's Chris Campoli-like clearing attempt that led to the game winning goal. Bailey ended up with the puck on his stick between the circles in the defensive zone, put it on his backhand and floated a weak clearing attempt that was taken by Brandon Dubinsky and quickly moved to Brad Richards who was by himself to Nabokov's right.
The empty net goal came with less than one second in regulation off a mid-ice shot from Callahan after a furious Isles push.
Ramblings and Observations
As much as this was probably Mike Mottau's best game this season, it is still entirely noticeable when he's on the ice (for the wrong reasons). It tends to be worse when he is on the ice with lines three or four. It may be time to look to Bridgeport.
Blake Comeau actually looked good tonight. He was hitting, he was skating, and he also had only 10:54 of ice time. This may be his magic number.
Nino was not visible in a good way. I hope Islander fans aren't expecting him to be a savior. His PP2 line was effective and that may be very helpful going forward.
We got a good scare tonight when Matt Martin left for a few minutes after fighting Brandon Prust with what appeared to be Islander-shoulder. The team can not afford to lose any physicality to the lineup…especially a guy who is responsible for about 20% of their hits.
The Islanders need to stop knocking opponents into their own goaltenders.
Despite some pretty poor play lately, there are probably better "scratch" candidates than Kyle Okposo. Let's hope this is a one time thing and he has his head right because he can do well if this team plays like it did tonight.
PA Parenteau is the Isles best puck carrying forward and is generally calm and cool distributing. The Isles may want to consider re-signing him…particularly if Okposo, Bailey and Comeau don't start coming around soon.
Tonight, the Isles outshot AND outhit the Rangers and also had more power plays. While it didn't bear out in the "W" column, that is the formula for winning hockey games.

By Christian Pelusi
Eve Torres is no stranger to confrontation. One look at her work in the squared circle as a World Wrestling Entertainment Diva, along with her training in jiu-jitsu, validates her ability to take care of herself. But the new arena of combat that NBC's new reality TV competition "Stars Earns Stripes" (Monday, Aug. 13 at 8 p.m. EST) presented took some immediate adjustments.
"I can honestly say I didn't have any idea what I was getting myself into," Torres said. "I thought it sounded great, the premise of the show, but I had no idea the wringer that they were going to put us through. … There were some moments that everyone had when they wondered if they could really do this."
The "this" is a contest that immerses eight celebrities into special ops situations that representatives from eight elite military units and first-responders have trained them for, using live ammunition and live explosives. The celebrities compete for eight different charities and Torres is battling for the USO.
For the contestants, any preconceived notions that this was just another "cut, redo" reality show were erased quickly.
"I did a lot of conditioning and training before the show, but what I wasn't prepared for was the emotional aspect of the show," Torres said. "Every time we're in real BDUs (Battle Dress Uniforms) and in KIT (Knowledge Information Technology), it was amazing. The realities of what the military has to go through really sunk in. Clearly we don't have an opposing force, but it really felt real and made me feel so much respect for them, more than I even had before."
Torres said that the confidence their highly-trained instructors invested in them pushed them to achieve things they thought were impossible and built a trust and an admiration that left her in awe.
"The bond that brings those people together is just incredible. To hear their stories and experiences … if not everyone has a brother or father or sister close to them in the military, I hope this puts a face and a name to these men and women because they're just incredible. Not just as warriors, but as people. To me, it's a different species. I don't know how they can do it on a daily basis."
As a popular WWE champion, Torres has had the opportunity to witness what the USO accomplishes on a daily basis while pursuing its own mission of lifting the spirits of troops and their families.
"With the WWE, we go overseas pretty much every year -- at least for the past eight or nine years -- to bring a part of America over to [the troops]. And so the idea of the USO and being able to send entertainers to support our troops, I love the idea of it because I've been a part of it.
"[The USO is] an amazing organization and one that I'm proud to represent. It makes a good feeling that when you get through your mission, you know you've earned money for not just the military men and women but for their families."
* * *
* Monday's kicks off a big week for Torres. First is the premiere of "Stars Earn Stripes," followed by a week of events in Los Angeles that lead up to WWE's second biggest event of the year, Summer Slam, on Sunday, Aug. 19 at 8 p.m. EST in L.A.'s Staples Center.
"We're really infiltrating and taking over L.A.," Torres said, laughing.

i am guessing there is no PCM control - try opening something like aumix and see if the PCM is adjustable.
I am having an issue with XMMS, when I pul the volume bar back and forth to higher or lower the volume, nothing happens.. the volume does not change rendering the volume bar useless. Using slackware 9.0 I know I had the same problem in 8.1, anyone know what is up?
i am guessing there is no PCM control - try opening something like aumix and see if the PCM is adjustable.
I opened Volume Control under Gnome and there are lock settings on them and also bars to control them, from in here I can control the volume. I tried unlocking them all and then playing xmms and adjusting the volume bar and it still wouldn't change the volume level. and when I restarted the volume control app in gnome, the locks are back on
as soon as you asked that I was like, wait a minute OSS *light bulb* and remembered seeing that output in my preferences of xmms, then I hit config and changed to use dsp, mixer, and volume controls master not PCM, and now my xmms volume bar works. Thanks for the guiding, slackware 9.0 is turning out awesome as always. I haven't gotten a chance to use gnome 2.x or kde 3.1 and now I am torn between two worlds. Three worlds if you include Fluxbox... mmmm I love linux. My roommate saw my desktop and is like, god damnit yours is better than mine!!!! and then his xp progs were freezing up and he is like GOD DAMNIT XP!! I couldn't stop laughing, then I showed him me switching through all the virtual desktops showing all the space I get and he was just biting his lip and shaking his head. I think I saw some drool. Then he was like "hey, let's see you play games like counter-strike" which I haven't gotten working yet, so he had a number on me. But it's all good. ;D

Zac Efron says: To get rid of Bad Breath, Skip the Tuna and OnionsWednesday, April 11th, 2012
Though he recently denied being a heartthrob, actor Zac Efron has kissed his fair share of starlets onscreen – from Vanessa Hudgens in High School Musical to, most recently, Taylor Schilling in The Loved One. The latter has a steamy bedroom scene, one that Efron said frequently made him and his co-star giggle. So what helped keep him in character? In a recent TV interview, he recounted his quest to get rid of bad breath by skipping smelly foods.
"No onions!" Efron told Access Hollywood. He added that on the day he and Schilling filmed their intimate scene, he chewed tons of gum to mask any halitosis.
Of course, regular gums may temporarily cover up oral odor, but they can't get rid of bad breath. That's a job for all-natural, specialty breath freshening gum like TheraBreath chewing gum or mints (such as our Mouth Wetting Lozenges or ZOX), which neutralize odor molecules even as they wet the palate.
However, Efron didn't just avoid onions. He also steered clear of seafood, based on his experiences making a previous film.
"I had a kissing scene one time, and I ate a tuna sandwich," he told the news source. "It was the first [scene] I had to do, and I got called out on it."
Understandably, Efron had a hard time staying in his head. "It was so embarrassing," he added. "You don't do that, don't be that guy!"

CANTON Four months after firing the superintendent of the Partridge Run Golf Course & Country Club, the village Board of Trustees voted Monday to reinstate Henry Skip Wason to the position as a year-round village employee.
The 3-1 vote came after a 90-minute closed-door session during a special village board meeting. The appointment is provisional and will be permanent if Mr. Wason scores among the top three on a civil service examination. He is scheduled to start April 1.
Contacted after the meeting, Mr. Wason said he was pleased that the board overturned his Nov. 19 termination.
To be honest, I think it was politics and I think it got resolved, Mr. Wason said. Im very, very happy about it. Now we can get right to work and have a successful golf season.
Mayor David P. Curry said that after considering all nine candidates who applied for the job, trustees felt Mr. Wason was the most qualified. Kevin R. Maginn will continue to serve as the golf professional for the course.
The village felt hes always done a good job for the course, Mr. Curry said of Mr. Wason. The board wanted to make it a civil service job.
Village officials have declined to explain why Mr. Wason was fired in the first place because it involved personnel matters.
He worked at the course since it opened in 1994.
Mr. Curry emphasized that instead of keeping Mr. Wason as an independent contractor, the position will now be a 12-month civil service job that includes health insurance and retirement benefits. The village board will oversee the position.
The salary will be $40,000 a year, while benefits will cost the village $14,000 to $15,000 a year, Mr. Curry said. The current village budget includes an annual contractual fee of $56,000 for the job, which previously ran from April 1 to Nov. 1.
Mr. Wason said he believes making the job a year-round village employee position is a positive step. He said that during the off-season he will help maintain equipment and be involved with planning and budgeting.
I think it gives stability to the position, he said.
After the board terminated his contract, Mr. Wason hired an attorney, Meredith Savitt, Albany, who has been involved in negotiations with Gerald A. Ducharme, the villages attorney.
Trustee Mary Ann Ashley said she cast the only no vote because she wanted to uphold her personal integrity and the integrity of the village. She was among three trustees who voted to terminate Mr. Wasons contract in November.
One of the core things I value is excellence in public service, she said. I was not going to kowtow to political pressure, bullying or threats. Im confident we can move forward now.
Voting to reinstate Mr. Wason were Mr. Curry and trustees Joseph Frank and Daniel McDonnell. Newlyinstalled TrusteeMichael E. Dalton abstained.

Telegraph Avenueby Michael Chabon
Staff Pick
Since winning the Pulitzer Prize for his spectacular 2000 novel, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, Michael Chabon has gone on to write a diverse array of books restrained by neither style nor genre. Of the distinctive qualities to be found within whatever form his versatile storytelling may take is a prose marked by eloquence and vivaciousness, an uncanny ability to immerse his readers within the lives of his characters, and a narrative structure propelled mainly by his imaginative plots. All of these strengths are on full display in Telegraph Avenue, Chabon's resonant new novel and his most mature, accessible fiction to date.
Its genesis an unproduced television pilot he wrote over a decade ago, Telegraph Avenue is an engrossing, well-crafted drama of family and friendship. Set during the summer of 2004 in both Oakland and Berkeley (where Chabon himself has resided for the last 15 years), the novel focuses on the intertwined lives and ensuing hardships of two East Bay families. Archy Stallings and Nat Jaffe are best friends and coproprietors of Brokeland Records, a used vinyl record shop whose continued existence is threatened by plans for a nearby megastore helmed by a wealthy, former NFL quarterback. Their spouses, Gwen Shanks and Aviva Roth-Jaffe, are popular midwives, but both their friendship and their livelihoods become jeopardized following a delivery that quite nearly turns tragic.
As with much of Chabon's fiction, a rich cast of supporting characters and interwoven subplots lend the novel a vibrant breadth. Julius, Nat, and Aviva's 14-year-old boy, an ardent film enthusiast, falls in love with Titus, Archy's long-unacknowledged teenaged son. Luther, Archy's father, is a former kung fu and blaxploitation movie star whose delinquent past and scheming present ensnares the lives of everyone close to him. When community members rally against the proposed megastore, friendships are tested, motivations are questioned, and allegiances are revealed.
Telegraph Avenue, perhaps Chabon's strongest and most complete effort to date, is a sonorous, sweeping portrait of a contemporary American neighborhood (inspired, somewhat, by his own childhood spent partially in Columbia, Maryland — a planned community that sought to eliminate the racial and economical divisions that stunt so many modern metropolises). Chabon's incorporation of a racial element into this novel (of the four leading characters, two are black and the others white), in addition to being a brave decision, serves not as the banal, forced multiculturalism and feel-good liberalism that would likely have come across as mere stereotype in less-adept hands, but instead as a perceptive, faithful portrayal of life in the 21st-century American city. Chabon's compassion and sympathy for his subjects translates into lifelike, relatable characters that struggle with many of the same adversities, frustrated aspirations, and need for perseverance as anyone in the real world.
Throughout Telegraph Avenue, Chabon makes clever, playful use of jazz, soul, and vinyl-related imagery and metaphor, beginning with the touching dedication to his wife. Many of the thematic elements that have so distinguished Chabon's previous works are conveyed anew and will be warmly familiar to his longtime readers. Peppered throughout the novel like a recurrent bass groove are moments of delightfully unexpected and potent humor that act as a welcome complement to its rhythm of crescendoing drama. Michael Chabon's storytelling gifts seem to know no bounds, and the dexterity with which he crafts his beautiful prose is often breathtaking. The book's third chapter, composed of a single, 12-page sentence, is magnificently rendered and acts as a testament to Chabon's remarkable literary prowess. Telegraph Avenue is indeed an exceptional novel, one demonstrative of the considerable talent Chabon brings to nearly everything he composes.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
As the summer of 2004 draws to a close, Archy Stallings and Nat Jaffe are still hanging in there — longtime friends, bandmates, and co-regents of Brokeland Records, a kingdom of used vinyl located in the borderlands of Berkeley and Oakland. Their wives, Gwen Shanks and Aviva Roth-Jaffe, are the Berkeley Birth Partners, two semi-legendary midwives who have welcomed more than a thousand newly minted citizens into the dented utopia at whose heart — half tavern, half temple — stands Brokeland.
When ex-NFL quarterback Gibson Goode, the fifth-richest black man in America, announces plans to build his latest Dogpile megastore on a nearby stretch of Telegraph Avenue, Nat and Archy fear it means certain doom for their vulnerable little enterprise. Meanwhile, Aviva and Gwen also find themselves caught up in a battle for their professional existence, one that tests the limits of their friendship. Adding another layer of complication to the couples' already tangled lives is the surprise appearance of Titus Joyner, the teenage son Archy has never acknowledged and the love of fifteen-year-old Julius Jaffe's life.
An intimate epic, a NorCal Middlemarch set to the funky beat of classic vinyl soul-jazz and pulsing with a virtuosic, pyrotechnical style all its own, Telegraph Avenue is the great American novel we've been waiting for. Generous, imaginative, funny, moving, thrilling, humane, triumphant, it is Michael Chabon's most dazzling book yet.
"Virtuosity' is the word most commonly associated with Chabon, and if Telegraph Avenue, the latest from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Yiddish Policeman's Union, is at first glance less conceptual than its predecessors, the sentences are no less remarkable. Set during the Bush/Kerry election, in Chabon's home of Berkeley, Calif., it follows the flagging fortunes of Brokeland Records, a vintage record store on the titular block run by Archy Stallings and Nat Jaffe, currently threatened with closure by Pittsburgh Steeler's quarterback-turned-entrepreneur Gibson 'G Bad' Goode's plans to 'restore, at a stroke, the commercial heart of a black neighborhood' with one of his Dogpile 'Thang' emporiums. The community mobilizes and confronts this challenge to the relative racial harmony enjoyed by the white Jaffe; his gay Tarantino-enthusiast son, Julie; and the African-American Archy, whose partner, Gwen Shanks, is not only pregnant but finds the midwife business she runs with Aviva, Jaffe's wife, in legal trouble following a botched delivery. Making matters worse is Stallings's father, Luther, a faded blaxploitation movie star with a Black Panther past, and the appearance of Titus, the son Archy didn't know he had. All the elements of a socially progressive contemporary novel are in place, but Chabon's preference for retro — the reader is seldom a page away from a reference to Marvel comics, kung fu movies, or a coveted piece of '70s vinyl — quickly wears out its welcome. Worse, Chabon's approach to race is surprisingly short on nuance and marred by a goofy cameo from a certain charismatic senator from Illinois. 15-city author tour. Agent: Mary Evans. (Sept. 11)" Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
"A magnificently crafted, exuberantly alive, emotionally lustrous, and socially intricate saga....Bubbling with lovingly curated knowledge about everything from jazz to pregnancy...Chabon's rhapsodically detailed, buoyantly plotted, warmly intimate cross-cultural tale of metamorphoses is electric with suspense, humor, and bebop dialogue....An embracing, radiant masterpiece." Booklist, starred review
"'Virtuosity' is the word most commonly associated with Chabon, and if Telegraph Avenue, the latest from Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Yiddish Policeman's Union, is at first glance less conceptual than its predecessors, the sentences are no less remarkable." Publishers Weekly
"Expect its publication to be one of the bigger literary events of the year, akin to the release of The Marriage Plot this year or Freedom in 2010." The Atlantic
"An end-of-an era epic....A Joyce-an remix with a hipper rhythm track." Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"If any novelist can pack the entire American zeitgeist into 500 pages, it's Chabon....Ambitious, densely written, sometimes very funny, and fabulously over the top, here's a rare book that really could be the great American novel." Library Journal (starred review)
"An exhilarating, bighearted novel." O magazine
New York Times bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Michael Chabon has transported readers to wonderful places: to New York City during the Golden Age of comic books (The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay); to an imaginary Jewish homeland in Sitka, Alaska (The Yiddish Policemen's Union); to discover The Mysteries of Pittsburgh. Now he takes us to Telegraph Avenue in a big-hearted and exhilarating novel that explores the profoundly intertwined lives of two Oakland, California families, one black and one white. In Telegraph Avenue, Chabon lovingly creates a world grounded in pop culture — Kung Fu, '70s Blaxploitation films, vinyl LPs, jazz and soul music — and delivers a bravura epic of friendship, race, and secret histories.

Chloe Sevigny won't leave us alone. Oh, it's not her fault, of course, but between her star-turn on Big Love (the show is currently in the middle of season four), spring's braid trend (which never fails to remind us of her BL character, Nicolette Grant), and repeatedly intriguing red-carpet wardrobe choices (like the lilac Valentino gown she wore to the Globes), we can't get her out of our heads. Not that this is a bad thing; the actress has consistently captivating personal style and, in addition to wearing wonderful clothes, she also creates them for her collaborative line with Opening Ceremony. All in all, Sevigny's taste is totally worth celebrating, so we shall do just that in today's Style Spotlight.
One of the things we like best about Sevigny's style is the way she always surprises us with her outfit selections for evening events. Rather than just going for a simple solid cocktail dress or making a safe choice, she tries trend-driven outfits and always picks interesting shoes with plenty of straps. For example, for the Aaron Young exhibition party at the Gagosian Gallery in Beverly Hills, Sevigny showed up in Dior's semi-sheer organza Niki Dress ($10,500, 800.929.DIOR) with Miu Miu's Strappy Suede Sandals ($595), a black alligator Lana Marks Provance Clutch ($8950, 212.355.6135), Buccellati earrings, and a Stephen Russell bracelet. The floral frock is appropriate, but still has a bit of edge thanks to the diaphanous material that allows a bit of bra to peek through. Sevigny selected a similar silhouette for the MOCA NEW 30th anniversary party in Los Angeles, when she wore a runway look from Miu Miu's S/S 10 collection. The Nude Sheer Tulle Top with Crystal Embroidery ($2535) and White Cotton Piquet Dog Print Skirt ($905)Â--which are both available in select Miu Miu boutiquesÂ--offer a mix of patterns (birds on the sleeves, dogs on the skirt). The duet prints plus the light color palette makes Sevigny's ensemble a superb choice for spring.
Of course, our Spotlight star doesn't always opt for high hemlines at night. Occasionally she takes the fully-covered route, like the ensemble she put together for Opening Ceremony's London Fashion Week Party: a black-and-white vintage turtleneck paired with a belt, boots, cardi and trousers from her own Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony line. All of this was accessorized with a long strap Chanel bag and her signature red lipstick. This understated look is quite darling, much like the cocktail shorts she was snapped wearing in Beverly Hills last year. With a pair of Comme des Garcons sunglasses parked on her head, Sevigny looked smart in a pale pink blouse and scalloped tan cocktail shorts, both from Chloe's S/S 09 collection (we're referring to the French fashion house, just to clarify!).
Even when Sevigny is dressed way down, she is still worth writing about, as the final image in today's story reveals. The actress, seen at LAX after her Golden Globe win last month, makes perfectly on-point off-duty choices and reminds us why we love our 501s so much. Sevigny styled a worn-in pair of Levi's jeans with a Polo scarf, Oasis leather jacket, Comme des Garcons shades, and her own Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony shoes. She carried two wildly disparate bagsÂ--a traditional L.L. Bean Boat and Tote Bag ($24.95) and an oversized Balenciaga carryallÂ--which exemplifies her classic-but-cool fashion sensibilities.
If you're ready to emulate Sevigny's amazing personal style, we've got a ton of suggestions for you! Just to make this easy, we'll go through the ensembles from left to right and list a few of our favorite pieces for each outfit. Starting with the Opening Ceremony party, obviously the key to recreating this look is a black-and-white shirt: we like Oasis' Stripe Bodysuit ($43) and Crumpet's Rivera Striped Cashmere Tank ($240), but if you prefer navy, don't miss Elizabeth and James' Long-Sleeve Striped Pocket Tee ($195). Then simply add your favorite wide-leg trousers or Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony's Pleated Pants ($153 on sale), a fabulous gray cardi (like the BDG PE Cardigan ($29) in Dark Grey), and a cute quilted bag (Topshop's
The Paris by Marc B** ($70) or ASOS' Quilted Lock Across Body Bag ($26) are both like thrifty thrills).
Next up we have some cocktail frocks (always a favorite around the WhoWhatWear.com office). For a black-and-white print dress, try BCBG Max Azria's Printed Minidress ($128) or MinkPink's Shattered Dreams Dress ($118). We also think Sevigny would approve of Catherine Malandrino's Relaxed Couture Ruffle Dress ($545), which offers a perfect hybrid between the lilac Valentino gown she wore to the Globes and the Dior dress in today's art. Shoe-wise we suggest saving up for her exact Miu Mius, but for a less expensive version, check out Steve Madden's Loyyall Platform Strappy Pumps ($90). For Sevigny's other party look, we offer you this suggestion: take a nude topÂ--like American Apparel's Short Sleeve T-Shirt Leotard ($28) or ASOS' Sheer Seam Shirt ($31) in NudeÂ--then add a crystal bib necklace, like Haute Hippie's Crystal Bib Necklace ($575) or Forever 21's Pearly Beaded Bib Necklace ($19.80), and presto! You have your own personalized version of her Miu Miu blouse! (Additionally, you could try Forever 21's Sequins Galore Knit Top ($24.80) which is an all-in-one gray tank alternative.)
For those of you who would prefer to recreate two of Sevigny's slightly-to-very casual looks (meaning: the dress-shorts outfit or her denim-and-leather travel ensemble), we have some ideas for you too! For the former, we urge you to check out Kimchi Blue's Scalloped Shorts ($24) and Diane von Furstenberg's Taipa Shorts ($198). Pair either one with Silence & Noise's Shoulder Detail Blouse ($48) in First Blush and your favorite skin-tone shoes to create a Sevigny-like look. Finally, for our last Style Spotlight outfit, we suggest starting with a great pair of jeansÂ--try Levi's 501 Jeans ($68) in Hyper Authentic or Levi's 501 Jeans ($78) in Rather Ripped ($78)Â--and a simple moto jacket, like the Oasis Cropped Biker ($215). Then all you need are some silver shades like these Alexander Wang for Linda Farrow Sunglasses ($325) or Topshop's Small Round Plastic Sunglasses ($30) in Silver and a L.L. Bean Boat and Tote Bag ($24.95) to solidify your Sevigny-inspired outfit!

SKANEATELES - The Potsdam Central girls hockey team spent Martin Luther King Day pulling away to a 5-2 non-league win on the road over Skaneatles.
The teams were tied at 2-2 early in the second period after Sarah Sauda pulled the host Lady Lakers even with an unassisted goal at the 1:35 mark.
Kailey Grant countered less than two minutes later off an assist from Megan Stevenson for what would stand as the game-winner. Kirstin Barkley made it 4-2 with her second of the game at 7:23 of the middle frame before Grant sealed the win three minutes later when she completed a hattrick off assists from Stevenson and Ally Miller.
Samantha Kawajsza opened the scoring for Skaneateles 5:20 into the game but Grant tied the game just 29 seconds later off an assist from Jordan Emerson. Barkley gave the Lady Sandstoners their first lead of the game at the 9:37 mark off an assist from Jenny Tardelli.
Sidney Molnar (6 saves) and Allie Compeau (5 saves) split crease duties in the win while Amanda Lupo (11 saves) and Maria McLean (8 saves) shared the goaltending effort for the Lady Lakers.
Now 14-2 overall, the Lady Sandstoners take on Section 10 rival Salmon River on Friday at Pine Street Arena starting at 4:30 p.m. then host a non-league game against Ithaca on Saturday at 1 p.m.
The High School Girls Hockey Section 10 playoffs are slated to open on Wednesday, January 30. The league tournament championship is slated to be hosted by Canton Central in mid-February.
In the lone game involving an NAC girls basketball team on Monday, Franklin Academy notched a 42-31 non-league decision in Clintonville over host AuSable Valley.
The Huskies (10-4) outscored the host Patriots (8-2) 13-9 after one quarter and continued to add to their lead as Rachel Lamica and Janelle Heden each scored 10 points to lead winning effort.
Meghan Strong netted 15 and Logan Snow 11 for the Patriots.

Unlocked cell phone? Good. International usage. Saves the consumer money. Jail broken OS? Bad. Major security concern that creates gaps for hackers to steal information as it is in one of the three states: At rest. In Motion. In use. Translation? Information shared or consumed on your smartphone is vulnerable anytime, anywhere.
RIM has a great reputation through its BlackBerry products for ironclad operating systems that kept messages sent over their network secure and encrypted as well as for their overall device security. These glowing features are why BlackBerry cell phones and PlayBook tablets are so widely used throughout the worlds of commerce and government -including Barack Obama - the President of the United States.
For the sake of security, let's hope that President Obama isn't using a BlackBerry Playbook as it appears the latest and greatest RIM OS being used on the device has proven to be jail breakable. Hence, vulnerable to information "borrowing." Turn your mobile into Power Tools with the latest technological advanced accessories.
Anyone remotely following the mobile industry has likely heard the troubles of the bruised giant, RIM, the past year as it scrambles to keep pace with its competition. The result is an operating system that is more powerful and capable than its predecessors. It also has proven to have an Achilles heel where hackers have the holes to hack, break and manipulate what their predecessors have not been able to. Evidently a first in RIM history and an unfortunate blight on their impressive record.
As the tablet market is still dominated by Apple and their user groups are well aware of the sport hackers make of breeching their iOS, this news may seem paltry to the traditional RIM user. But going forward this same BBX OS is what RIM BlackBerry smartphones will be runs on! Discover the latest accessories for all your Blackberry devices.
There are an exponentially increasing number of incidents of malicious code being written to ferret out information - relative to feed the insatiable appetite of the multi-billion dollar black market data stealing. Consumers today are in dire need of innovative protection solutions and premium electronic accessories, antivirus protection, back-up and storage considerations.
If RIM doesn't address the serious flaw in the BBX OS, their greatest market differentiator and credibility will be compromised to their largest consumer groups: government and enterprises. In a wild Wild West age, information truly is power and tangibly destructive as Julian Assange and Wikileaks globally demonstrated earlier this year.
My guess is President Obama will forfeit a little performance for peace of mind and eschew BBX until a fix is found.

Not that I know of ...
I recently switched from elvis to vim, and so far I like it. There's only one thing I miss.
I edit a lot of html pages, and in elvis I could view the file in html mode. If I said :display html elvis viewed the file like a web browser does. I found this feature extremely useful when editing html pages. Can I do something similar in vim?
Not that I know of ...
Couldn't you write a macro to pipe the page to Lynx (or even Mozilla)? I know this can be done with LaTeX code and xdvi or gv, for example.
It just wouldn't be the same. Well, it could be cool anyway, but I have no idea how to do it. Ok, folks, where do I start?Couldn't you write a macro to pipe the page to Lynx (or even Mozilla)?
(ack! don't tell me I actually need to rtfm?! )
i'm surprised GnuVince hasn't solved this one yet... if anyone here should know how to do it, it's him
I've been bored with LJR these past few days. Actually I've been bored period. So I don't come here as often as I used too.
And put this in your .vimrc:
When you're in normal mode, you just need to type zh and w3m will launch w3m with the document.Code:" HTML pour NGene map zh :w<CR>:!w3m %<CR>
