Text of UN Security Council statement on North Korea's nuclear weapon test agreed on Tuesday by the 15-nation body:
"The members of the Security Council held urgent consultations to address the serious situation arising from the nuclear test conducted by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
"The members of the Security Council strongly condemned this test, which is a grave violation of Security Council resolution 1718 (2006), 1874 (2009) and 2087 (2013), and therefore there continues to exist a clear threat to international peace and security.
"The members of the Security Council recalled that in January they unanimously adopted resolution 2087, which expressed the council's determination to take 'significant action' in the event of a further DPRK nuclear test.
"In line with this commitment and the gravity of this violation, the members of the Security Council will begin work immediately on appropriate measures in a Security Council resolution."

War and Peace
Vol. 1
by Lev N. Tolstoy
Book Reviews
Book Description
The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book:
The present new translation of Tolsttfy has the following distinctive features: The translator was born and educated in Russia, and the scenes and the life depicted, and the ideas evolved by the author, are familiar to him as to a native; on the other hand, his later youth and his manhood have been passed in America, where for twenty years he has taken active part in the educational and the literary movements of Anglo-Saxon life. Thus he is enabled correctly to interpret the workings of the greatest Russian mind both from the standpoint of a Russian and of an American. Still further to ensure literary accuracy, all the manuscript has been read by Miss Carrie A. Harper, herself an English authoress, whose advice has been invaluable to him. The translator has treated the author with sympathetic love, which in many instances is due to a common bond of practices of life and of ideas: the translator is a vegetarian and teetotaler of even longer standing than the author, and shares his educational ideas both in theory and in practice. At the same time, the translator is absolutely free from any personal bias, and in dealing with Tolstdy brings to bear a critical spirit, born of the blending of the Russian and the Anglo-Saxon concepts of life.

Hi Kyle,
Thanks for your reaction. There is a map of Belgium with the name of the places where I took the photos and the page numbers on the page 3. It's a bit difficult to see it properly due to the low resolution of the preview.

#2 Eclipse Trap - Newhouse, Sargent, Antique, Rare
- Sold for: Start Free Trial or Sign In to see what it's worth.
- Item Category: Sports
- Source: eBay
- Sold Date: Mar 01, 2011
- Channel: Auction House
When I was packing up the trap for shipment, I noticed a small void going from the side of one of the jaws to the underside. Not sure if it was from the foundary, a file or from an impact. Can't see the mark from looking down on the trap.
Upon further inspection, the "gouge" is about 1/4" wide and about 5/8" inch long and about an 1/8" deep. Can barely notice the start of the mark from looking down on the trap. Dont think it was a trappers mark. Just a small gouge in the jaw from the maker but not sure. Please ask any questions.
I added a picture so you can see the mark. The picture was taken from the side of the jaw. The jaws on these traps are very wide and thick. Please ask if you have any questions. I like to give a very detailed description so there are no surprises. In my opinion the trap is very nice and in great condition.
Just got a statement form a knowledgeable trap collector "The gouge was put there in the factory.
If you push the spring down, push both jaws over the same way. Take the ring and slide it around until it is in the grove. The trapper would do this before he went out. Lot easier to set the trap with cold hands."

Best Coast – "Heaven Sent"
Best Coast's upcoming third album, California Nights (due May 5), sounds like a fantasy meeting between The Verve and The Bangles, judging by its first two singles. "Heaven Sent" is more upbeat and melodic than the hazy title track while retaining its full-bodied guitar sound, like some sunkissed lost Lush song. Check out the karaoke-style lyric video below:
What's with the song title of Mikal Cronin's new song, you might ask? The power-pop songsmith's upcoming new album, MCIII (due May 5), includes a six-song suite on its B-side, of which this is the second part. It's furiously loud and melodic, as we've come to expect and enjoy immensely from Cronin, but also has a surprise climax with Cronin jammin' on the Greek tzouras. Color us intrigued. He's at S.F.'s Independent April 22 and L.A.'s Eagle Rock Center for the Arts May 1.

Under the Radar DVD of the Week: 'Life Is Not a Fairy Tale: The Fantasia Barrino Story'
This week, the oddest DVD to appear on release lists is:
"Life Is Not a Fairy Tale: The Fantasia Barrino Story"
In this day of instant celebrity, when reality show "stars" can flash onto the pop culture scene one day and fade into oblivion the next, even the rare, incredibly talented ones can seem to pack a career's worth of melodrama into a very few years, as demonstrated in "Life Is Not a Fairy Tale: The Fantasia Barrino Story" (due out on DVD Tuesday).
This 2006 biopic, which aired on the Lifetime Channel, charts the rocky life story of the sultry, sassy singer who only two years before became "American Idol's" third-season winner and quickly went on to release a platinum-selling album, "Truth Is," that landed three songs on Billboard Magazine's top five adult R&B chart.
In seemingly short order, Barrino published her autobiography, "Life Is Not a Fairy Tale," which became a 2005 best seller; auditioned for a role in the 2006 film "Dreamgirls," but lost out to another "Idol" contestant (Jennifer Hudson, who went on to win an Oscar), and made her Broadway debut in 2007 in a wildly celebrated performance as Celie in "The Color Purple."
But, as she detailed in her book, Barrino's life and her road to stardom were anything but fairy tale perfect.
After growing up in poverty, Fantasia dropped out of high school following a sexual assault that left her feeling ashamed and stigmatized. As a young single mother, she struggled through a grueling period of abuse, desperate poverty and crippling illiteracy until her spectacular singing voice landed her a spot on "American Idol" and a golden chance at fame and fortune.
In the Lifetime movie, Barrino plays herself and gets stellar support from a cast that includes Loretta Devine, Kadeem Hardison and Viola Davis.
Even with all her commercial success, Barrino continues to live a tumultuous life, having recently given birth to a son in 2011 by her married lover. Four months later she returned to the studio to begin recording her fourth album.
"Life Is Not a Fairy Tale: The Fantasia Barrino Story" is not rated and runs 105 minutes. It's being released by A&E Entertainment.

ARTH 132 Themes in Renaissance Art—Dr. Margaret D'Evelyn
This program explores outstanding works of art through the lens of the question: "Does Art Represent Life?"
In Themes in Renaissance Art, we will stand in the sandals of artists of the past who overcame enormous challenges to create works of art that have endured. Our artists—Giotto and Donatello, the Bellinis, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and Michelangelo, Bramante, Brunelleschi, Titian and Palladio, Jan van Eyck and Albrecht Dürer, and others—will answer our question with their amazing drawings, paintings, prints, sculpture, tapestries, and architecture.
Northern Renaissance artists are said to have "mirrored" nature in their paintings. But why did they create recognizable rather than abstract images? As we immerse ourselves in various types of art and architecture created from c. 1300 to 1600, we will also keep track of the many bends and twists in the life of Michelangelo and the northern and Italian Renaissance artists and architects whose works he built his own upon or influenced—finding out why and how he went way beyond mirroring nature—as we think about how he and other artists represented life!
One exciting goal will be to create a faux exhibition of various works of art and architecture that students select as the most representative of the clever and profound thinking of Renaissance artists, north and south of the Alps. This exhibition will include Michelangelo and his extraordinary drawings and poetry. It will summarize some of the many intriguing sides of the question, "Does Art Reflect Life?" as we discover how and why Michelangelo and other artists thought about art. Another adventure will be to develop our insights into the paintings, sculpture, and prints that we can study in person at the St. Louis Art Museum and Chicago Art Institute. We will write reflectively, creatively, descriptively, and/or analytically as we share insights, giving special attention to Michelangelo and the artists he inspired and who inspired him.
ARTH 132 AL Themes in Renaissance Art (GEA) 3SH M W F 9:00–9:50 a.m.
GEN 101 AL Integrated Learning Course 3SH M W F 10:00–10:50 a.m.

Saginaw and Traverse City bass fishing
18 May 2015 - 06:02 PMI have a friend from Louisville to fish St Clair then on to Saginaw and up to Traverse City. He is planning on the second week of June.
He has fished LSC many times but neither of us have ever fished on Saginaw Bay or Traverse Bay and I can't help him. He is Bass guy through and through. Can you recommend the best launch for saginaw and Traverse city to target bass? Any other tips for helping me explain to him where to go etc.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, So this is my first time posting an app/widget to the forums. After seeing xkcd.com/now, I thought it deserved to be made into a widget that doesn't require internet connection, so I used this project to learn how to make android widgets. T...
Why is it 26MB? It's the way Randall Muroe first coded it. it has to contain 96 pictures and picks one every 15. Kind of a bummer. Here's the source if you're suspicious that it does more than it claims: https://github.com/Shef-/XKCDNowWidget...
Wow, I used PNGGauntlet and it went from 25.6Mb to 18.1. I'll include the optimized png's in the next update.
I added a live wallpaper and the option for DST. It's all part of the same app so that you only need to download the 26mb file once and all resources are shared.
Don't do timezone adaptions. Europe goes into DST in 3 weeks. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5wpm-gesOY I'm planning to have a checkbox to enable/disable DST. If it's enabled the whole map rotates 15 degrees. If it's disabled it sta...

Dr. Eric Coleman of the University of Colorado School of Medicine won a no-strings-attached $500,000 MacArthur "genius" fellowship for 2012, rewarding his pioneering work on improving quality and cutting costs by "coaching" patients through transitions from hospital to home.
Coleman's work and collaborations around the nation are now a key part of health care reform, trying to prevent expensive hospital readmissions and case complications by empowering patients and then checking on their progress.
Coleman, 47, head of the CU's health care policy division, was still reeling Tuesday morning.
It took many reassurances from the foundation, he said, before he gave up feeling like an imposter.
Coleman's practical methods of transition coaching and follow-up in medical settings are spreading throughout the U.S.
"His work is finally getting the global attention it deserves," said Dr. Jane Brock, chief medical officer of community action at the Colorado Foundation for Medical Care. "He was one of the early visionaries around the issue of patient readmissions being harmful and expensive."
Twenty-three MacArthur Foundation awards this year went to a wide range of innovative thinkers, from writer Junot Diaz to Harvard economist Raj Chetty and Mexican filmmaker Natalia Almada. Writer Peter Hessler won a MacArthur award last year when he was living in Ridgway; he is now reporting from Egypt.
The collaborations between Coleman, foundations in Denver and other settings are based on better instructions about anything from wound care to prescriptions, and then frequent check-ins from case managers to track progress.

In my current setup, I run
emacs --daemon on boot and thereafter use
emacsclient to do work. However, I've noticed a problem with this. When a complex chunk of processing is happening, C-g stops working: the complex work can't be halted or terminated early. As far as I can tell, this is because an emacs client needs to wait to be acknowledged by the server before any input from the client is processed. As a result, C-g won't work when I most need it - to bail out of processes that are time-consuming or possibly destructive.
Are there any workarounds to this, or a way to tell the server process "stop that!"? Nothing in the Quitting or Emergency Escape sections of the manual seems to acknowledge that this problem exists - so it's also possible that this is the result of me doing something wrong. If so, what am I doing wrong?
If the answer is "no, there is no way to do what you want;
emacsclient processes can't cope with the server being blocked for a nontrivial amount of time," I'll mark as accepted the answer that points out in code or documention where that answer can be had: I haven't been able to find such a thing. :(

Ski...as much as I would like to agree with you that this is a mere bump in the road or a slump that most teams endure, as a fan I will try to be positive but realistically, we need Shaq and JON too to advance in playoffs. Teams that are more than just competitive have one of two things, and hopefully, both. A strong presence in the paint or a superstar G or F. Let me address the latter first, Bulls have Rose, most definitely a superstar & perhaps MVP this year but are not exceptional under the paint. The Magic & Mavs, on the other hand, don't have, in my opinion, superstars other than Howard and Nowitski(who is a PF & Center) but they are terrific under the basket. The Spurs have Duncan in the paint & then Ginobli & Parker, both guards and although not youngsters, they are still stars. The Thunder have superstars, Durant & Westbrook...both very young...and now Perk foir "D" & rebounds. But the real stickout and I hate them but they are 14-1 since the allstar break have the best of both worlds with 3 very good players in the paint, Gasol, Bynum & Odom, & , of course, Kobe, the very best, I think, since Michael Jordan. Now we come to us. Yup, we have the BIG 3 & won in 2008 with them and Perk, of course, not for offense but good defense. That same team almost won last year except we'll never know about Game 7 if Perk were not injured. As a long time Celtic fan still smarting from Game 7 and disparity in foul shots, I feel that being out rebounded killed us too & with Perk that wouldn't have happened. Rasheed, in my opinion, was not a power center who liked to dunk the ball. He like Garnett was mostly a jump shooter and at times felt he was a 3 pt shooter like Pierce & Allen. I'd have preferred muscle in the paint. So, we still have our 3 stars but they, as happens to all of us who age, have lost a step or two & we do not dominate in the paint. If we shoot 50% + we need not worry so much about rebounds, but if not, we need them. Lakers shot a pathetic 32% in Game 7 but dominance of rebounds allowed them extra chances. We do not have that luxury when we have poor shooting nights so as I titled this post, I end it with WE MUST HAVE SHAQ AND JON, ALBEIT NOT ESSENTIAL, WOULD BE A BIG HELP TOO, ESPECIALLY WHEN SHAQ FOULS OUT !!! PS...apparently from a coach(paisano too) who knew something about winning & it seems didn't believe in bumps in the road and slumps, here's a couple of quotes from Lombardi that could apply to the unimportance or importance of our team not winning now: "Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing." " If you can accept losing, you can't win."
Posted by mandobello
I agree with all of you, Mando, as usual. Well said, my friend. I too believe that without Shaq we will be in some deep doggy do do.
I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that no one else goes down during our stretch run and the playoffs.

Would It Kill You to Be Nice?
For some reason, the internet is making us incredibly angry. It's making us argue past the point of reason. It's making us set up fake Twitter accounts to harass the outspoken. And it's making us avoid the comments section of websites, because we're afraid of what we'll find down there.
Five Suffixes That'll Make you Look Like a Moron
Suffixes are superb inventions. They can take a boring, humdrum word and turn it into something wonderful. Using the right suffix will help you create unforgettable portmanteaus that hook the reader and don't let go.
But if you use the wrong suffix, you can come across a a pretentious, preening pillock with no grasp of the English language and a penchant for pointless buzz-words.
How Not to Write a Sales Letter (with assistance from cuddly Ken Bates)
Despite telesales, despite search engine marketing, and despite social media, direct sales letters are still one of the most important and effective weapons in any marketer's arsenal. Done right, a great sales letter can deliver huge returns on a fairly small investment.

There is also the possibility that this whole "Two Movies at the Same Time" thing is a marketing ploy. It may be that both are really one single movie containing both Zekrom and Reshiram. I mean they never really revealed reliable information on any of the movies to begin with in my opinion. For example: the Zoroark movie was originally Pokemon Z or Trainer Z or something like that. And they used clips that weren't even in the movie at all. So that is one possibility.
And to go along with that, there are so many legendaries this Gen that they have plenty of different options for more movies within the Black and White series.

My DH has his first appointment with the urologist on Wednesday. I was wondering if you ladies could share what it is he should expect on the first visit. Also did you go with him? Thanks!
What can hubby expect at first urology appointment?
Comments (4)
Wow, I think I posted this exact question 4 months ago, so I should be able to help. I went with him because I wanted to hear what the doctor said and I also had some questions. First they had him pee in a cup (still not sure what that was for). Then they brought us back into the room and the doctor asked us questions (how long have we have been trying, if he's had any STDs, testicular trauma, any children or pregnancies, etc). After that the doctor did an exam to make sure his testicles were the right size and there were no vericoles or physical abnormalities. They took his blood to check his hormones and had him give a semen sample to do a semen analysis. We had to go back later to get all the results. For my DH it turns out his testosterone was low and something else (FSH I think) so the urologist prescribed 25 mg of Clomid that he takes everyday. We go back on Monday to find out how the Clomid has worked.
P.S. You may want to have DH save his spermies for a few days before the appointment in case they do a SA
Ashleigh (25) DH Travis (32) TTC#1 for 3 years
dh had already had 2 SA's by the time we got to the urologist plus has already had blood work taken that my RE ordered. We knew that he had no sperm and that his hormones levels were all normal.
The initial exam was a discussion about our medical history, how long we had been trying, lifestyle etc.
Then the doctor gave dh a physical exam to confirm that there were no anomalies (testes size, variceles etc).
Then it was talking about a plan forward, biopsy scheduling etc.I went with dh mostly to make sure that I heard what the doctor was saying as dh can be sketchy with the details sometimes.
Johnna, Canadian mom to
Kristian Feb 6, 2007 & Lukas June 25, 2012
Ours was the same exact appointment as Ashleigh mentioned. It would have been nice for DH to know this, considering both he and I didn't expect a physical examination at the first appointment. Try and prepare DH for that.........

Lillian (11/24/09), Livia (7/14/11), & Henry (7/7/12)
My DHs appt was very similar as well. First the urologist asked him some questions about smoking, alcohol use, if he had ever gotten someone else pregnant.... He also asked me about my cycles and how long we had been ttc. He did a physical exam and gave DH info on ordering supplements online. When I called to schedule the appointment, they actuallly asked me to go with him, so you should definitely go. They also did some bloodwork to check testosterone levels, FSH...

'Traffic' Spins Gripping Tales of the Drug Wars
David Sterritt writer of The Christian Science Monitor, The Christian Science Monitor
Some of today's most interesting directors are making their mark on 2000 just before the calendar runs out.
Steven Soderbergh has already graced the year with "Erin Brockovich," the most politically alert crowd-pleaser in recent memory. Now he's back with Traffic, a more abrasive commentary on ills of contemporary life. The new picture will probably draw smaller audiences, but may figure even more prominently in the upcoming Academy Awards race, given its impressive ensemble cast and the imaginative visual style it uses to explore its complex subject from a variety of perspectives.
That subject is drugs - or more precisely, the so-called war on drugs that the United States government has been waging for many a long and controversial year. Although its highly dramatic screenplay is based on a British television series, "Traffic" amounts to a 140-minute commentary on American efforts to stem the tide of illicit drugs through a wide assortment of varyingly effective means, from infiltration of the narcotics underworld to treatment of drug-dependent individuals.
This doesn't mean "Traffic" is an exercise in punditry. Quite the opposite, it's one of the year's most suspenseful, gripping, and sometimes disturbing films. It begins near the Mexican border, where a Mexican cop (Benicio Del Toro) and his close partner (Jacob Vargas) are working under a military commander (Tomas Milian) whose methods are as ruthless as the enemy he wants to conquer.
The action soon switches to the United States, where a Midwestern judge (Michael Douglas) has been chosen as federal drug czar - a job he's proud to take, even though it consumes so much time that it hampers his ability to stay close with family members, one of whom (Erika Christensen) is a teenager with a hankering for narcotics.
On the West Coast, meanwhile, two officers on the drug beat (Luis Guzman, Don Cheadle) monitor the life of a wealthy woman (Catherine Zeta-Jones) whose incarcerated husband (Steven Bauer) has become a pawn in a set of dangerous intrigues.
These are only some of the characters in Soderbergh's web of plots and subplots, which run on parallel but interrelated tracks throughout the movie.
Some are more compelling than others, and portions of the action seem a bit confused, as if a too-long running time had caused necessary story material to remain on the cutting-room floor. Sentimentality creeps in a little, as well. But the tension rarely lets up, and the film's thoughtfulness is a welcome relief from the season's general run of fluff and fantasy.
And then there's the acting, much of which ranks with the best we've seen all year. …

NORTH VERNON — People who live in the 812 telephone area code will have a chance to share their opinions Wednesday in North Vernon on how the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission should respond to a looming shortage of phone numbers.
More than 35 states including Indiana have had to add new area codes over the past two decades due to an expanding number of wireless phones, pagers and other technological advances. Since the 812 area code is running low on available numbers, an additional three-digit code will have to be designated for southern Indiana.
Representatives of the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor will outline the situation, options and other details at 5:30 p.m. in the Jennings County Middle School auditorium, 820 W. Walnut St. Then, at 6 p.m., the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission will listen to public comments.
While the IURC commissioners will not answer questions Wednesday, they will have staff members available to address public concerns.
With two options to choose from, the IURC is expected to decide by year's end whether to use the overlay or geographical-split method.
If the overlay method is
- Ten-digits (area code and number) would have to be used for all local calls.
- Those with 812 numbers would keep their current telephone numbers.
- Local calling areas and rates would not change.
- Businesses, nonprofit organizations and other customers would not need to reprint signage, stationery, advertising or business cards due to the change.
The overlay method has been the most commonly used option for area code relief since 2005 and is being implemented in western Kentucky to relieve the 270 area code.
The telecommunications industry has filed testimony requesting use of the overlay method.
If a geographic split is used:
- Seven-digit dialing would continue for local calls.
- Part of the existing 812 area would keep their current numbers, while those in the new district would be required to switch to numbers with the new area code.
- Many businesses, nonprofit organizations and other customers would need to reprint signage, stationery, advertising and/or business cards and would incur the costs of doing so.
The geographic split method was the most commonly used option before 2005. In Indiana, it was used to provide relief to the 317 area code (central Indiana) in 1996 and the 219 area code (northwest Indiana) in 2001.
Regardless of which option is used, the IURC emphasized three things will not change:
The new area code will be gradually implemented, with a grace period of several months to allow Hoosiers to adjust to the changes.
Local calling areas and telephone rates will not change as a result of the new area code. Calls that are currently free will remain free.
Calls to 911, 811 and 211 will not be affected.
Wednesday's meeting in North Vernon is one of 10 field hearings being held throughout the 812 area this month.
Those unable to attend the hearing may submit written comments to the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor until May 7.

This is for Chris Jackins: He told you so. He told you in 1999 the Seattle School District's then-planned new headquarters building was a bad joke on taxpayers. He told you it was being built in the wrong place, at the wrong time, for the wrong reasons, and that the district would never be able to pay for it. Right, right, right, and right.
A decade after Seattle Public Schools administrators built a central headquarters with a promise it would pay for itself, the district acknowledged Monday it still owes nearly $50 million on the building and has no serious plan for how to pay for it.
This was the building that was supposed to save the district money. As reporter Brian Rosenthal notes: "Opponents, who labeled the proposed building a 'glass palace,' said the plan was too vague to warrant the center's high price tag. Longtime activist Chris Jackins called it 'the school district's Enron.' But district financial analysts insisted the savings would be achieved."
The tab for the building comes due in 16 years but the payoff remains so large that no one knows how to budget for it without further slashing other programs.
Chris was right, as school critics knew he would be. The district was a mess, and as coordinator of the Seattle Committee to Save Schools, he dove into the district's books, reviewing arcane financial documents and detecting errors down to the decimal points.
He was doing the job the school board was neglecting. Under then-superintendent Joe Olchefske, the distict somehow sneaked two "balanced" budgets past the board, both of which were millions out of whack.
The 2001-02 budget was eventually discovered to be $21 million in the red, then $24 million in a recount. That was followed by the 2002-03 budget that was overspent by $14 million.
No one but the chief financial officer, who allegedly covered over the deficits, seemed to have been aware of the ongoing crisis. Olchefske himself waited at least three months to publicly reveal it.
At the same time, the district pushed arrogantly ahead with a $30 million headquarters building that would turn out to cost $55 million. Jacklin insisted that consolidating scattered operations at one site wouldn't pencil out, warning that the project would worsen the district deficit crisis. Nobody listened, nobody acted.
The district has been struggling financially ever since. And now the big shiny headquarters that was to be the solution not only has become the problem, it's an enigmatic dilemma.
Today -- one decade, two recessions, three superintendents and many budgetary quirks later -- the district's new financial analysts agree some minor savings indeed have occurred because of consolidation. But they say they have no way to know where, when or how much.
As we wrote in 2000 after the City Council gave the district its blessings to plop the glass palace in the middle of the SoDo industrial zone:
Jackins' objections include concerns that the district is abandoning a valuable current headquarters site in Lower Queen Anne, that the council is promoting a poor choice and bad law, and that the...district also will take on $26.7 million in debt for 25 years [it turned out twice that amount], without a vote of the public.
However, there's likely no derailing this deal, and Jackins unfortunately expects to someday say "I told you so."
Unfortunately, consider it said.

Vampire Weekend at Orpheum Theatre, 8/5/13
Tony Nelson
Vampire Weekend
Orpheum Theatre, Minneapolis
Monday, August 5, 2013
Vampire Weekend are not a sentimental band. We should know this already, of course. It's plain to see in their music, and frankly, they're too successful to waste their time with such middling emotions. But as the New Yorkers returned to Minneapolis last night for a visit to the Orpheum Theatre -- a show that frontman Ezra Koenig called, in his own self-satisfied manner, their "best-ever in Minnesota" -- they let it slip all over again.
"This is a nice place," Koenig said at one point between songs. He looked up toward the balcony, taking stock of his surroundings, and singled out the overhead chandelier as particularly impressive. "Every time we come back," he added with a smirk, "we keep moving up."

Vampire Weekend and the accelerated speed of cool
What went unsaid was that, on their last visit, the band played at First Avenue -- you know, the House the Prince Built? Then again, this is no matter to Koenig. The next time he's back in town, it'll probably be at the Target Center -- and, like it or not, he'll deserve to be there. Or, at any rate, he'll have earned it.
Strictly speaking, there are a lot of reasons to hate a person's music. Take Kanye West, for instance -- a guy so egomaniacal that lots of people can't help but hope he fails. Or take R. Kelly, someone whose personal failings can make it difficult -- maybe even wrong -- to support, much less enjoy, his music. And then there's a band like Vampire Weekend, whose polo shirts and smug demeanor smack of the sort of privilege and condescension that fly in the face of what rock music is supposed to be about.
Tony Nelson

Their fans, though, just plain love it. In fact, from the moment that "Cousins" set the energy crackling -- an energy that barely dipped thereafter -- the crowd at the Orpheum was about as enthusiastic as you'll see. They sang along to the words, they danced in front of their seats, cheered during the breakdowns, and pumped their fists to the choruses. There was never a moment when the whole room wasn't fully behind what was happening onstage. It was almost as if there were real rock stars up there, not some waspish Ivy leaguers with expensive haircuts and fresh white kicks.
But that's just the thing: Regardless of how you feel about the music, Vampire Weekend are a very good band. Not many others can put on as good of a show as they do, one that's technically excellent, backed up with great songwriting, and, most importantly, good showmanship. What's more, they're fully aware of the stereotypes they've arguably created for themselves, so they lay it on thick -- much the same way that their haters will only inspire more references to Benetton and horchatas.
Koenig, in particular, was in complete control. He knew exactly where he was in own his physical space, and he seemed to anticipate every twist and turn of the show with a flip of his hair or an arch pose. He even affected an Elvis impression with his vocal during "Diane Young." (What, you don't think of Ezra as a sex symbol?) These things can be learned, perhaps, but still, not everyone has them.
It's not hard to see, then, what's appealing about this music: The show played so perfectly to the rules that it often wasn't hard to predict the next logical song in the set list, and yet it also never felt contrived or phoned-in. What's a little harder to suss out, however, is just how people connect with it. The crowd, in spite of the preponderance of younger folks, were, if not affluent, then at least more nicely dressed than most concertgoers in their age group. Is this a band, then, that speaks to their realities? Does it speak to their fantasies? Or is it just good pop music?
Certainly, in the age of 401k's and trust-fund babies, there's an argument to be made here for the fetishization of wealth. But that would sell the music short; after all, Koenig's writing, despite using their language and cultural cues, is generally critical of the upper class. Like innumerable rock bands before them, Vampire Weekend simply see no need to be modest -- about their education, their musical gifts, or their intellectual elitism. And yet it's for that very reason, ironically enough, that that same lack of modesty comes off as them being spoiled, or else disingenuous.

That neither of those things is true came out gradually through the course of the night, as the songs from throughout the band's catalog played off of one another. There were the songs from their self-titled debut, still the catchiest, most energetic songs that they've written. (They helped keep the momentum going, too, sprinkled as they were throughout the night.) Crucially, these songs felt the most adversarial -- songs like "Campus" or "A-Punk" that railed against the shallowness of college life, their sharp pop hooks digging in deep. On the other end of the spectrum, there were the songs from their latest record, Modern Vampires of the City, songs that were more oblique musically and more personal lyrically. It was here that the "you" and "I" became "we," and the conflicts become hardships -- something that people shared in.
Somewhere in the middle, there was "Giving Up the Gun" -- still possibly Vampire Weekend's best song, and probably the highlight of last night, boasting a big, swarming coda that felt like it should have been the grand finale. (It wasn't, and for that reason, in spite of the set only being 80 minutes, it somehow seemed like it went a little too long -- its only real shortcoming.) Koenig's narrator stood somewhere in the middle, as well, examining the sad fate of an old, washed-up rock star, a possible projection of a future self.
As ever, there was no sentimentality here, merely observation, and maybe a little perspective. Which is about all we could've expected -- or, really, asked for.
Critics Bias: I love it when bands aren't afraid to be pompous jerks -- so long as they sell it. Personally, I think these guys do.
The Crowd: Old enough to have financial stability, or else planning to marry into money.
Overheard in the Crowd: "Those are some fresh kicks!"
Random Notebook Dump: The opening band (who, oddly enough, didn't seem to be listed anywhere in advance of the show) were an Australian trio named the High Highs. They sounded a little similar to the Shocking Pinks -- although, I guess I'd say that about most Australian bands, so what do I know?

Adding ASM disk to existing disk group
Nov 30, 2010 11:40 PM
I tried to add one new ASm disk to an existing ASM disk group using ASMCA.
Env : Linux RHEL 5 (64 bit)
Oracle 11gR2 RAC (2 node) with ASM
First, I created the disk partitions from the raw disk using fdisk command and then created the ASM disk using oracleasm creatdisk command from the node 1.
Then, without scanning the new disk from the 2nd node (through oracleasm scandisk), I tried to add the new asm disk to an existing disk group using asmca (right click on the existing disk group and click on "Add DIsk")
After I clicked on the "OK" button, I got an error that the 2nd node cannot see the new asm disk.
After I click ok on the error message, What I see is that the new disk is no longer visible on the "Show eligible" list.
Its header has been changed to "MEMBER". But the total size of the disk group is still the old value(The new disk size is not added).
What can I do to get the new disk back to the "elligible" list so that I can try adding the new disk again. (I have run the scandisk command from the 2nd node).
Also, another point I noted that, when I click on the "show all" check box (instead of "show elligible") on asmca, it shows all the disk, but the new disk's DISK NAME is blank.
Any help please !!

in response to
after you resolved the access error on the second node, have you tried dropping the disks from the dikgroup?
And then adding it again?

So after work last night I went to the gym the bf worked all day so he wasn't a distraction Lol. I get home have some dinner then while I am having dinner my roommates start yelling and screaming at each other. One is drunk can't tell if the other one is at this time. I finish then I head out to the bf's work cause he wanted to see me. So he gets home before me and I w come home to a very pissed off man because they destroyed the living room (it looks like someone came in and ransacked the place tables turned over classes thrown on the floor you get the picture) he is pissed off because we don't move for 10 more days and he has a brand new 55 inch TV that we bought around superbowl time on a good deal. Now after working from 5am-11:00pm with 4 hrs of sleep and one hr in between to drive/change/eat he has to dismantle the TV and put it back in the packaging and put things in front of it so it won't get broken if they decide to come back and have another fight in the basement. So I finally get him to fall asleep around 12:30 he has to get up at 4 for another 12hr day since they are offering overtime at his fulltime job right now and I was up til like 2 because they came back and started fighting some more. Made sure I woke up so he wouldn't oversleep then I went back to sleep instead of getting my workout in because I was so tired.
So today I have to deal with tired cranky boyfriend who wants to beat down my roommates. He is drinking energy drinks all day cause he had me buy them last night. Roommates who are going to act like nothing happened. And having to keep my bf from killing. And the fact that I am totally exhausted but functional at the moment (I don't sleep all that well anyway) trying my best not to eat away my stress and anxiety at dealing with all of this (cause that is what I used to do) trying to pack everything up that I can while not walking out on my job. I really don't need anymore stress! Sorry if this was all very personal and if you didn't want to hear about it but I needed to get it off my chest.

text: 21 March 2011 Data converter platform delivers 50% improvement in power Data converter platform delivers 50% improvement in power Synopsys has announced new data converters which it claims deliver more than 50% improvement in power with smaller area compared to the previous generation. The DesignWare and data converter ip solutions have been optimised for mobile broadband wireless communication applications such as WiFi, WiMAX, lte and digital tv reception. According to Synopsys the DesignWare Data Converter ip can reach high sampling rates with strong dynamic performance, while processing signal bandwidth beyond 100MHz. The platform has been designed for high data rate standards such as WiFi (802.11ac) and home networking (G.hn), and for the direct conversion of high intermediate frequency signals. The platform consists of analogue to data converters (ADCs) and digital to analogue converters (DACs). These include 10 and 12bit pipeline ADCs running up to 250MS/S in single channel and dual channel configurations; 14bit current steering DACs running up to 400MS/S in single channel and dual channel configurations. John Koeter, vice president of marketing for IP and systems at Synopsys, said the platform was part of a continued investment in data converter IP products. "By designing this latest generation of DesignWare Data Converter IP toward ultra low power optimisation and a compact footprint, Synopsys enables designers of broadband communication, digital TV and video products to readily embed functionality into their SoCs to offer competitive differentiation with less risk and improved time-to-market."
