text: Dec 14, 2012 14:35 Southern board approves recommendation of Odums Southern board approves recommendation of Odums Advocate staff photo by HEATHER MCCLELLAND -- Southern University Jaguars wide receiver Lee Doss (2) rubs Southern University Jaguars interim head coach Dawson Odums' head after they won the Bayou Classic. BY PERRYN KEYS| Assistant sports editor Dec. 14, 2012; 2:26 p.m. Comments Dawson Odums is no longer keeping the seat warm for Southern University's next football coach. He is the next football coach. Friday afternoon, the SU System Board of Supervisors approved Athletic Director William Broussard's recommendation to remove the interim tag from Odums' title, making him the long-term leader of a Jaguars football program that will try again after many failed attempts to return to the top of the Southwestern Athletic Conference. The board voted unanimously to approve the recommendation after hearing from Broussard, who reassigned Stump Mitchell on Sept. 14 and promised not to begin searching for a new coach until Southern's season ended. The search netted three finalists — Odums, Nevada assistant James Spady and Bethune-Cookman coach Brian Jenkins. Spady, who was offensive coordinator at Grambling for three seasons, interviewed in-person Monday. Odums had his final interview Tuesday. Jenkins pulled his name from consideration and got a contract extension at Bethune-Cookman. In the end, Broussard settled on Odums, who led the Jaguars to a 4-5 record over their final nine games. "He presented the most complete package for Southern University right now," Broussard said. "While other candidates left open questions — could he work within budget constraints? Could he coach athletes, as well as build men? Could he work collegially with current staff? Could he help rebuild Southern University athletics, while living in the spotlight as perhaps the most recognizable figure in the Jaguar Nation? — (Odums) left no doubt that he could rise to this occasion." Southern will hold an "introductory" press conference with Odums at 11 a.m. Tuesday. Odums missed Friday's board meeting because he was recruiting. The board's approval wrapped up a search that reached far and wide for candidates, but will upset parts of the SU fan base with its outcome. Although Odums has a notably large chunk of supporters at Southern, including many players and administrators, Broussard concended that others won't be happy with the move. Southern must now fight a perception that it swung for the fences, whiffed, then ultimately settled on Odums as a fall-back option. Broussard's response: "Everybody wants to win the press conference and make the big splash. I've got to be concerned with what happens with the next 364 days, and what happens after the press conference. And so, that's what I concerned myself with, and that's when he emerged as the obvious choice for me." Broussard declined to address specific details of Odums' contract agreement, saying he believes the two sides will finalize a deal Monday. Broussard did confirm, however, that the contract will be guaranteed for only two years, with a mutual option for a third year. It is one year shorter than Mitchell's deal, which had three guaranteed years and a mutual option for a fourth year. The athletic director said he's been instructed by the administration to limit contracts to two guaranteed years — in part because of the current landscape at Southern, which is coming out of financial exigency. Broussard said Odums' annual salary will also be less than $175,000 — a significantly smaller payout than Southern gave Mitchell, who earned $200,000 per season. On the other hand, Southern will likely have a larger pool of money to pay its assistant coaches, thanks to Odums' smaller paycheck. "We can take that (extra) money and redistribute that," Broussard said. Mitchell had $400,000 to spread among his assistants when he was hired in 2010. Nearly three years later, Odums will be the next coach to rebuild a program that was once the best in black college football. The Jaguars won five SWAC titles in an 11-year stretch under legendary coach Pete Richardson from 1993-2003, but much of the past decade has been a mess. SU went 29-24 in Richardson's final five seasons, winning no Western Division titles. He was fired after the 2009 season and replaced by Mitchell, who promised better results on game day and graduation day. Though Mitchell raised the team's Academic Progress Rate, the Jaguars went 2-9 during his first season and 6-18 overall. Mitchell was replaced by Odums, who lost more games than he won as the interim coach, but also helped navigate the team through a tumultuous season that could've been worse. Southern suffered a crushing 6-0 home loss to Mississippi Valley State in Mitchell's finale, leading to his departure. Eight days later, in their first game under Odums, they upset Jackson State on the road. SU also defeated rivals Florida A&M and Grambling, but suffered back-to-back one-point losses last month, part of a four-game slide that took the Jaguars out of title contention. After the season ended, Odums continued to lead day-to-day operations of the program, saying the coaching job is his until someone says otherwise. Now he's in place for the long haul. And no one will say otherwise. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

With over 80 percent of Bulgaria's 2.6 BCM coming from Russia, the country's embrace of shale is as enthusiastic as Poland's. I've said many times that there are rarely any nefarious conspiracies. The big secret is that there is no big secret. But in some cases I'm willing to concede that , there are exceptions:
MPs from the main opposition Bulgarian Socialist Party have demanded that the government impose a moratorium on all shale gas drilling in Bulgaria over concerns about its hazardous environmental effects.
End of May it was announced that US energy giant Chevron has won a major bid to explore for shale gas in northeast of Bulgaria.
Socialist MPs have now asked Bulgarian Minister of Economy and Energy Traicho Traikov to impose moratorium on shale gas drilling until further studies are conducted on the safety of the technique.
According to them, such an assessment must be commissioned by the Bulgarian Ministry of Environment, reports Bulgarian left-wing daily Duma Saturday.
Socialists have also asked for referenda among the local population in the exploration sites.
They have argued that not only production, but even exploration for shale gas might lead to severe damage to soils and underground waters.
Bulgarian politics obviously haven't heard of balance or nuance. However, the Bulgarian Socialist Party can still count on any number of journalists who will be happy to toe the new party line. Luckily, there are some in Bulgaria who go for what is truly in the national interest, the scientific approach:
.Sofia. Nobody has so far proven there are industrial deposits of shale gas in Bulgaria, professor Kristalina Stoykova, head of a group of experts for shale gas research at the Geology Institute of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, said in an interview with FOCUS News Agency.
On Wednesday the Bulgarian government granted a five-year exploration permit to the U.S. company Chevron to conduct tests at Novi Pazar field in northeastern Bulgaria.
"There are only hypotheses. The new tests and assessments will show what the actual deposits are and whether any of them could be used. In Bulgaria U.S. ambassador James Warlick was the one to focus attention on shale gas. Last year he said Bulgaria has enormous deposits and it did not need Russian gas. I do not want to get into politics. I will make some comments as a Bulgarian scientist and expert who is bound with no interests, other than national," she said.
She added that six more fields in northeastern Bulgaria, in addition to the one close to Novi Pazar, had been offered in a tender. The oil companies that will win the tender will be allowed to fulfill their program within five years and look for unconventional oil and gas deposits, the expert said.
Asked whether it is dangerous, professor Stoykova underlined there was no risk to people and environment at the exploration stage.
This last sentence is interesting, echoing something I heard last week from British and French geologists
"There is not even a theoretical risk to people and region of Novi Pazar. And I will tell you why – because more than 1,000 drilling tests similar to the one Chevron plans to do were carried out in northern Bulgaria. In the past 40-50 years there has been much of exploration work testing for oil and gas and nothing bad has happened," she said.
Just as fracking has been used in North America for over 60 years, with the odd unfortunate accident but generally totally under the radar, so too has fracking been used in Europe, albeit on a smaller scale for several decades as well.
It's often said that Europe's problems stem from an unfamiliarity with oil and gas extraction that makes people scared of a future shale gas industry. Much of the unfamiliarity stems from the fact that in many places in Europe, conventional oil and gas and fracking has been going on for years with very few any the wiser.
For only one example, spot the difference:
Sandbanks Beach is undoubtedly the BEST beach on the South Coast of England …. Some would say in Britain !
Sandbanks itself is a small peninsula, which contains some of the most expensive houses and land in the country, in fact Sandbanks is becoming as famous for its well know residents and lavish lifestyles of some of its occupants as it is for its beach. For those seeking the ultimate in beach life style, some of the most exclusive houses boast direct access onto the beach and stunning sea views.
Can you imagine the devastation if we let oil and gas drilling happen there?
Wytch Farm is an oil field and processing facility in the Purbeck district of Dorset, England. It is the largest onshore oil field in western Europe. The facility, operated by BP, is hidden in a coniferous forest on Wytch Heath on the southern shore of Poole Harbour,
The field extends eastwards from Sandbanks and Studland for around 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) under the sea to the south of Bournemouth.

anybody here tuned up a mosin?
plenty of um still around and ammo is still fairly cheap.
if one of these old girls could be tuned up to do say 1.5" groups on factory mill-surplus ammo it could be an interesting back up survival rifle.
what kind of accuracy can these old guns get?
say a fellow wanted to have low $$ iron that shot straight for a couple bills --could it be done?
worth doing or is one better off to just buy a cheap savage in a US/western cal?

Miami Dolphins want to avoid "diva receiva"
Brandon Marshall's one of the NFL's most dynamic young receivers.
Despite all his Pro Bowl talent, and impressive stats, he's out on the free agent market, being dangled by the Broncos for a first-round pick. Here's a hint: There's a reason the Broncos don't really want him around anymore. It might have something to do with him swatting away football's during practice.
Most Miami Dolphins fans can't understand why the Trifecta wouldn't touch this talented difference maker with a ten foot pole.
All you see is the roster's average receiver unit, which is filled with decent but not spectacular talents, and you lust after a big time playmaker. You assume that "playmaker" label has to come with complications, and demands, and drama.
But it doesn't, at least not in Bill Parcells' world.
The Dolphins do want to upgrade that unit. General Manager Jeff Ireland admitted that much during the NFL combine, saying the team needs a playmaker who can produce "chunk yards." The first step to addressing a problem is admitting you have one, and the Dolphins have done that.
But I can guarantee you that player who gets added won't be a "diva receiva."
Where do you think the term "diva receiva" comes from?
The first time I picked up on it was last year, when head coach Tony Sparano used it to address one of his former Cowboys receivers, whom he refused to address by name.
Terrell Owens was out on the open market after his relationship with Dallas has become toxic. He was looking for a new home and Sparano made it clear that his team wasn't interested in a reunion with T.O.
As talented as Owens was, and still is, Sparano hinted he wasn't worth the headache to coach. Players like Owens, who is on the free agent market AGAIN, bring too much baggage with them, and that baggage can mess up the chemistry of your team when things aren't going good.
Need an example of how damaging a diva can be to a team? Just imagine Joey Porter 50-pounds lighter and running routes.
Considering Chad Henne's still a toddler at quarterback, adding a demanding diva to his huddle could become toxic, hindering his development.
Dolphins offensive coordinator Dan Henning has repeatedly told us receivers are usually temperamental, more so than any other position, and that he doesn't want any [female dogs] in his receiver room.
"Diva problems can suck the energy out of your football team," said Henning, who had issues with Steve Smith during his tenure as the Panthers coordinator. "You just can't have discord because it's a team operation. When that's being talked about all the time and every body's afraid to get into that guy's aura, so to speak, and you have to tiptoe around the locker room, it takes away from your team."
A lot is being said and written about Oklahoma State receiver Dez Bryant having some maturity issues, and possibly diva-like tendencies.
But in fairness, it's hard to pinpoint how much of the talk is fact, and how much of it is fiction put out there to make his draft stock fall (possibly to pick No. 12). What is clear is that smart teams investigate.
Smart teams do their homework.
Smart teams weigh the cost of adding someone who wants to be the offense's boss.
And Parcells teams, which take pride in finding receivers in the later rounds of the draft, avoid divas.
But can they win without one?

NMAAHC collaborated with the National Portrait Gallery on an inaugural exhibition of photographic portraits of African Americans. Selected by guest curator and photography historian Deborah Willis, Let Your Motto Be Resistance: African American Portraits explores the medium's influential role in shaping public identity and individual notions of race and status over the past 150 years.
The exhibition's title was inspired by the rallying cry of celebrated abolitionist Henry Highland Garnet (1815-1882) who challenged the "slaves of the United States of America" to rise up and emancipate themselves. "Let your motto be resistance!," he exclaimed. "Resistance! Resistance! No oppressed people have ever secured their liberty without resistance!"
The portrait subjects come from many sectors of the African American community, from Frederick Douglass, Sojourner Truth, and Edmonia Lewis, to W.E.B.

Rolex 'stress' leads to better street cars
Published: Tuesday, January 22, 2013 at 7:40 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 9:44 a.m.
Winning may be the key focus for drivers and teams racing at Daytona International Speedway this weekend, but it's the performance of the cars and the parts inside the cars that draw scrutiny from car manufacturers, engineers and others who attend the race.
Sportscar racing — especially the kind found in the GT and GX classes of the Rolex Series and in the Continental Tire Challenge — plays an important role in "developing new technology that will be transferred to street cars tomorrow," said Alex Job, owner of Alex Job Racing in Tavares.
"It's more than just competition, it's development that really benefits the consumer," said Job, who will have the No. 23 Porsche in the Rolex 24 Hours At Daytona. "We will all have the benefit tomorrow."
Sportscar manufacturers race their cars to develop performance, endurance and reliability, Job said Monday while putting the finishing touches on the car.
It's for all those reasons and more that Chevrolet participates, explained Mark Kent, director of Chevrolet Racing.
"Racing allows us to push the production car into conditions that are typically not seen by people who drive it on the street," Kent said.
"Think about running a Camaro at its maximum performance level for nearly two hours," he said. "You learn a whole bunch of things about the engine, the driveline and the suspension."
Chevrolet, for example, has taken lessons learned on aerodynamics and brought them to the attention of the production teams.
Brakes, suspension, tires, cooling systems and more are analyzed.
Job said whatever the teams that run Porsches learn about their cars is conveyed to Porsche, whose engineers will provide parts and engineering support at the race this weekend.
The 24 Hours At Daytona is especially helpful at testing a car and its parts, Job said. The 24-hour race is "a huge stress" on engines and braking systems.
"If it can survive the hardship of a 24-hour race, it can certainly survive in a street car," Job said.
Kent points to a new performance package that will be available on Camaros as an example. The package, called the 1LE, is based directly on things Chevrolet learned in racing, he said. The upgraded performance package has handling and aerodynamic enhancements, as well as "a lot of suspension enhancements that make the car a much more race-ready vehicle."
Not only do the lessons learned benefit consumers who buy the cars, they also improve the next generation of race cars, Kent said. He calls it a "stair-step technology transfer," where the race car is pushed to its limits and the information learned is incorporated into the production car that will be available to consumers and to race teams.
For Chevrolet, the racing also helps provide a training ground for young engineers. Chevrolet assigns production engineers to work with race teams to learn firsthand, rotating them through the program, Kent said.
It teaches them the importance of responsibility, urgency and decision-making, he said. It gives engineers a "great opportunity not only to see the cars perform, but gives them a great opportunity to interact with the Corvette fan community and learn firsthand what they like and don't like about their current car."

I was a few years too young to appreciate most of Steve Miller's guitar-driven hits when they dominated the charts. But more than a decade later when I went to college, the man's Greatest Hits 1974-'78 collection was as ubiquitous in the dorm rooms and fraternity houses as Bob Marley's Legend and the music of a certain cheeseburger-loving seafarer with a mind to get drunk and screw.
Judging by the sold-out Red Butte Garden Wednesday night, Miller's music still connects with plenty of fans. On a picture-perfect night, the folks filling the amphitheater were on their feet for all the classics, waving their arms in time at the command of Miller's sidekick/hype man, and thoroughly enjoying a serious blast from the past.
Miller certainly knows how to pace out a show, giving the crowd plenty of what it craved and adding some mini-sets along the way that featured one of his band members taking lead vocals for a few songs, or an acoustic almost-solo section.
He came out firing some of his biggest guns, opening with "Jungle Love" and quickly moving into "Take the Money and Run" and "The Stake"--all songs that clearly thrilled the crowd. Miller wasn't much for between-song banter, introducing the definitely dated "Abracadabra" with a quick "Here's a little magic for ya."
Miller ceded lead vocals for his cover of Eric Clapton's "Further on Up the Road," and a couple more songs before he got into more of his standards, including dedicating "Living in the U.S.A." to "all the men and women in the armed forces.
The best part of the show came when Miller delivered several songs from his 1973 album The Joker. There's no denying Miller's skill as a guitar player and way with writing hooks, and that came through on lesser-known (at least to me) Joker tunes like "Sugar Babe," "Mary Lou" and "Shu Ba Da Du Ma Ma Ma Ma," a song he dedicated to Santana's old rhythm section after telling a story about hanging out with Carlos Santana at San Francisco's Fillmore, watching and playing with everyone from B.B. King to the Grateful Dead.
Given its 40th anniversary, focusing on The Joker made sense, and helped the show with a much-needed veer away from the same old hits. The acoustic takes on "Wild Mountain Honey" and "Dance Dance Dance"--both abetted with a little pedal-steel--were solid, and the band jammed out a bit on "Fly Like an Eagle" before "Jet Airliner" got the crowd back on its feet and dancing.
Miller's voice sounds pretty much the same despite the passage of several decades since most of the songs in his set debuted, and his guitar-playing is crisp and worth the price of admission on its own. And a real bonus for me? The fact that a Steve Miller show is one of the few I can attend and still feel like a young punk.

The GNUstep Suite
The GNUstep suite consists of the core packages, the development tools and some auxiliary libraries. You can see a representation of how they are related on the library map.
GNUstep's libraries are licensed under LGPL2.1, or later; and the applications are under the GPLv3, or later.
The Core
The core packages of libraries and tools are the basis of GNUstep. There are four parts at present: makefiles, base library, GUI library and the back-end. All four are available in the Startup package from the downloads pages.
- GNUstep Makefile Package
- The GNUstep Makefile Package is a configuration
system and set of rules that makes compilation of GNUstep source as easy
as simply listing the files.
- GNUstep Base Library
- Our base library implements the FoundationKit part of
the OpenStep specification.
- GNUstep GUI Library
- This implements the ApplicationKit from the OpenStep spec.
- GNUstep Back-end
- The back-end provides a small set of functions used by the GUI library
to interface to the actual window system (X11, etc). It also has a drawing
engine which emulates common PostScript functions.
Development Tools
- GNU Objective-C Compiler (gcc)
- To produce applications, we compile source code to make executable binaries. The GNU C compiler has supported Objective-C for years, and it has been ported to almost every operating system.
- GNU Debugger (gdb)
- GDB 6.0+ supports debugging Objective-C code natively. See our instructions for Objective-C debugging with gdb
- Test suite (testsuite)
- The GNUstep testsuite (available from the subversion repository) provides
regression testing scripts which can be run under both GNUstep and Mac-OSX to
check that the functionality implementated by the core GNUstep libraries is
complete and matches OSX behavior.
Anyone wishing to contribute code to the core libraries should start by familiarising themselves with the testsuite and contributing tests.
- ProjectCenter
- Good development systems always build on project management. Project Center lets you search, edit, debug and design your applications and libraries with a range of tools.
- The Graphical Object Relationship Modeller lets you graphically design a user interface for your application.
Auxiliary Libraries
- GNUstep Database Library Version 2 (GDL2) (see )
- GNUstep Web Applications Framework (GSWeb) (see www.gnustepweb.org)
- GNUstep WebServices (GSWS)
Other Projects
- Foundation Extensions Library (extensions)
- This library contains some classes and extensions that are not required for GNUstep, but provide some useful functions none the less.
- libFoundation
- An alternate implementation of FoundationKit. libFoundation is more slim than gnustep-base, but still lacks several features of Foundation. It implements some extensions to Foundation that are also available separately for use with gnustep-base.

Earrings are a girl's best friend! Okay -- maybe diamonds are but earrings have got to be a close second! Every woman should have a nice variety to choose from. Do you want to know why?
Because your earrings are speaking to people. You may not realize it but it is true. Sure, for some people they are simply an every day fashion accessory. They put them on each morning without really thinking about it. However, others might pour over their extensive earring collection trying to select THE perfect pair. Are you trying to send a message with your earrings?
can be simple,
or sophisticated.
They can give people clues about you, like:
you are an animal lover,
a sports fan,
you hope for peace,
or that you are a SURVIVOR!
They can also be festive,
and fabulous!
Earrings are certainly fashionable and can really add the crowning touch to a favorite outfit. They are also a great way to compliment any hair style. If you have short hair - or even on days that you wear your hair up, or pulled back - you will really be able to show off your lovely baubles.
If you love your earrings, you'll also want to be sure that you store them properly. You can store them in a jewelry box with soft lining. Just hook each pair into each other, so they stay together and are easier to find. Be sure not to lay stones on top of each other. You don't want them rubbing together and getting scratched.
If you have sterling silver earrings, you'll want to store them with anti-tarnish stripes. This will help them to keep them in ready to wear condition. You should have a polishing cloth available though, you can just give them a quick wipe to shine them up quickly.

This is my favorite green tea. The flavor is stronger than other green teas, but still bright and fresh. The leaves of this tea are rolled into balls and unfurl when they are brewed. The rolled leaves help it stay fresh a long time, if it is stored out of sunlight in an airtight container.

We were hoping to bring racing back on November 30th, but unfortunately we will not be able to do so and are disappointed to announce its cancellation. However, we continue our work with the Virginia Racing Commission to get high-quality racing back to Colonial Downs for 2016. We hope to see you then!

40th annual Turkey Run car spots sell out; 125,000 expected
Published: Wednesday, November 27, 2013 at 6:13 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 27, 2013 at 7:29 p.m.
DAYTONA BEACH — When Gary Kinney is spotted cruising in his one-of-a-kind scooter, he gets a fair amount of offers on it.
40th annual Daytona Turkey Run
WHEN: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday.
WHERE: Daytona International Speedway, 1801 W. International Speedway Blvd., Daytona Beach
ADMISSION: $15 daily Thursday through Saturday, $10 Sunday; children ages 11 and younger free with adult. Four-day pass $50. Free parking on Speedway property.
INFORMATION: 386-255-7355 or turkeyrun.com
But unless someone makes him a crazy offer he can't refuse, he has no plans to sell his motorized pride and joy that he designed.
With 125,000 people expected to attend the 40th annual Turkey Run car show Thursday through Sunday at Daytona International Speedway, Kinney could get plenty of chances to hear that crazy offer.
"It's not like one of those old-man wheelchairs," Kinney, 68, said Wednesday afternoon while taking in the pre-opening setup at the Turkey Run.
The Dothan, Ala., resident's scooter is red and has a black barstool with flames for the seat. It's got a steering wheel, but that's just to hold onto, because Kinney uses a joystick to change direction.
What Kinney is selling is his blue 1958 Cushman Eagle scooter with a cowhide seat cover, and he's not the only one that hopes to make some cash during this year's annual event.
Leaving with some extra dough might be easier this year because of the record number of participants, said Jennifer Labonte, director of public relations and marketing for Daytona Beach Car Shows.
"This is the first time we've sold out of (the 1,500) car corral spots in five years," Labonte said Wednesday. "At the end of today, we're probably going to be sold out of everything else."
She said Daytona Rising construction hasn't been much of an issue, but Wednesday's strong wind gusts did keep some participants from setting up shop as early as they'd hoped.
The winds weren't a problem for Dick Greene, who brought the last of his shop's goods to sell during the Turkey Run.
"I just got tired of it," Greene, 79, said with a laugh. "I quit."
Even though it's the last of what was for sale at Big Greene Restorations, the Stuart resident — set up in the vendor area near the middle of the Speedway — said he brought the good stuff.
Greene was ready for business Wednesday afternoon with his few tables covered in various Model A parts, gauges and other vintage-looking car components.
"You never know what they're looking for," he said of potential buyers.
Barry May of Altoona also knows what it's like to be on the selling end of the Turkey Run.
May, who owns B & L Street Rod Parts, stocked plenty of tables with Model A window cranks, American-made wiring and more.
Although May, 67, doesn't usually get the chance to explore because he's busy being a salesman, he still knows how to enjoy himself.
"You really wanna have fun?" May asked. "Watch the people."

One of my favorite songwriters heads into Salt Lake City for a Tuesday night concert at The State Room. Ever since the venue opened in 2009, I've been hoping the stars would align for a Todd Snider show at SLC's best indoor venue. Finally, for those who don't know—or haven't been subjected to one of my longwinded vocal harangues about Snider's brilliance—I consider Snider the best songwriter of his generation and one of the 10 best rock/folk songsmiths of the past 50 years.
With a sense of humor and an apt feel for the bittersweet, Snider uses his songs and concerts to turn stereotypes about "folk" performers on their heads. A huge Rolling Stones fan, Snider is more rock 'n' roll than any folkie I've run across and a far more literate songwriter than most rock acts. The show's sold out, but I imagine a few ducats can be obtained out front about 8 p.m. as Colorado-based songwriter Reed Foehl opens the concert.
Check out TS right here:
And later Tuesday night, Colorado indie-rockers Tennis headline a 10 p.m. show at The Urban Lounge. I'm hoping I have some energy left to head over to the Urban for this one. I saw them earlier this year as part of a "Q" radio show taping show here in town and was blown away by vocalist Alaina Moore. This should be a fun late-night gig.
Also Tuesday, the Utah Jazz play a virtual playoff game against Phoenix at EnergySolutions Arena. The 8:30 p.m. tip is happening in honor of the game's national broadcast on TNT. Should be a classic. Tickets are at smithstix.com.

In the Light of the Slivery Moon
Dear Rabbi,
Where does the halacha for kiddush levana (blessing for the New Moon) come from and have there been any Torah authorities who were opposed to it? Also, why do we bless one another during the service with 'shalom aleichem'?
Dear Peter,
The source for blessing the new moon comes from the Talmud (Sanhedrin 42a). To my knowledge, there have never been any Torah authorities that opposed it.
I assume that your question is based on the misconception that sanctifying the moon bears a resemblance to moon-worship. This is an absolute fallacy. We are not worshipping the moon; we are praising G-d for His marvelous creations, including the miracle of the moon's monthly rebirth. One of the principal ways to recognize G-d is through His works; the immutable monthly cycle of the moon is one of the more visible aspects of G-d's masterful creation.
Additionally, we see the monthly rebirth of the moon as a symbol of G-d's promise to overthrow those who seek to destroy us and ultimately redeem the Jewish People and make us complete and in a state of peace.
It is for this reason that in the course of kiddush levanah, we pray for the downfall of the enemies of the Jewish People. In particular, we quote the verse from the 'Song at the Red Sea': "May dread and fear befall them, they should be silent like stone...". Since this verse does not specify who "them" refers to, we therefore turn to the people standing nearby and say "Shalom Aleichem" to show that they are not included among those whose downfall we seek.
Another explanation for blessing others at that time is as follows: After you say a blessing on an apple, you take a bite of the apple. So too, after blessing G-d for the moon and its light, you benefit from the moon's light by using it to recognize your friends and wish them well. This latter reason is also why some have the custom to separate the tzitzit at the conclusion of kiddush levana – to use the moon's light in order to enhance a mitzvah.
Perhaps both ideas are connected: After praying for the 'dis-empowering' of our enemies, we untangle the tzitzit as if to show our anticipation of the day we shall no longer be entangled and tied down by our foes but rather shall be liberated and unfettered to fulfill the mitzvot in the full light of G-d.
- Rema, Orach Chaim 426:2
- Magen Avraham 426:11
- Megilla 3a and Tosafot "Chayshinan"

Tony Underwood of Lexington, Ynot Imagine, won for a "Witch House" miniature fairy house with witch theme made using natural elements such as slate, metal wire, mimosa seed, cedar, stone and moss.

Tifft Scores Game-Winner to Propel Men's Water Polo Past Bucknell, 10-7
After playing its last 11 games on the road in two different time zones, the No. 16 Princeton men's water polo team employed a fourth quarter rally to defeat Bucknell, 10-7, in its return to DeNunzio Pool Saturday evening. The Tigers improve to 9-8, 3-1 Southern behind the conference victory.
Drew Hoffenberg would notch a pair of goals in the first quarter, as Princeton opened the game with a 2-1 advantage.
Hoffenberg led the offense with three goals and assists apiece, while also adding three steals and drawing three ejections.
Bucknell would challenge the Tigers for control of the game, rallying back with a 3-2 second quarter to even the score, 4-4, entering halftime.
In the third quarter, freshman goalie Alex Gow came up big with four saves, as both sides would remain even, 6-6.
Gow would tally 10 saves and a steal, earning his fourth career victory.
With the end of regulation in sight entering the fourth quarter, a Tiger rally was necessary to propel them past the Bison.
Kurt Buchbinder would break the tie 16 seconds into the quarter, 7-6, but Bucknell would respond 21 seconds later. A composed Princeton side would deflect the Bison's ensuing drives, as the offense found a way to get it done. Billy Tifft converted on a 6-on-5 to score the eventual game-winner, and Tim Wenzlau and Jamie Kuprenas added insurance goals to wrap up the game.
In addition to his goal, Buchbinder had two assists and won all four sprints. Sam Butler had two steals and Kuprenas finished with a pair of goals.
The Tigers remain at home, hosting Navy and Johns Hopkins next Saturday, Oct. 13 in conference action. Princeton faces the Midshipmen at 12 noon, before squaring off with the Blue Jays at 7:30 p.m.No. 16 Princeton: 2 - 2 - 2 - 4 - 10
Bucknell: 1 - 4 - 2 - 1 - 7
Goals: Buchbinder 1, Donahue 1, Hoffenberg 3, Kuprenas 2, Shannon 1, Tifft 1, Wenzlau 1
Assists: Buchbinder 2, Donahue 1, Hoffenberg 3, Wenzlau 1
Steals: Butler 2, Donahue 1, Gow 1, Hoffenberg 3, Kuprenas 1, Shannon 1, Weber 1, Wenzlau 1
Saves: Gow 10

The Visage Reunion, last Saturday night, was the perfect time for Lyrica, the newish downtown Orlando club and music venue, to showcase its space and attract customers.
They failed at this miserably. The Visage Reunion, which has been advertised since the beginning of the year, attracted what seemed like over 1,000 people last Saturday night, all alum of the much-loved club that was open in the '80s and '90s on North Orange Blossom Trail. And everyone involved knew there was going to be a crowd at this event. Paul and Tina Vaine, organizers of the event along with former owner Jim Quance communicated the amount of folks expected to the owners of Lyrica.
So why the club was so understaffed, understocked and just plain unsanitary the night of the event is beyond me?
First off the air wasn't working downstairs. This night was paying homage to a major dance space in Orlando and no one thought it would be a good idea to turn on the air when close to 1,000 folks were expected to, you know, dance all night in your club?
Also, the bar was severely understaffed, correcting the problem halfway through the night by bringing in additional bar staff. At that point though, folks that had waited as long as 20 minutes for a drink gave up and left. But the bar problems did not stop there. The club ran out of beer around 1 a.m., shortly before it happened bartenders were asking customers if they didn't mind buying warm beer. Really? Who thought that was a good idea? At that point if that's all they had they should have just given it away just to save face.
Once again the bathrooms were flooded. This was also the case when I was there on Thursday night during Florida Music Festival and when I checked out the club when it first opened back in December. My friend was also peeved there was no soap at all in the ladies' rest room.
I have to wonder what is up with the folks at Lyrica? This is a wonderful space and you're blowing it. Saturday night could have been a perfect time to bring in a crowd, get people talking about the space being open again and how fantastic the party was at that location. Unfortunately, the only thing people were talking about in reference to Lyrica was how unprepared management was.
Thankfully, original DJ Paul Vaine had the folks dancing with a fabulous set list that made you feel as though you were back at the old club. Seeing familiar faces from years ago and catching up on lost time really made the event too. I'm looking forward to the next reunion, hopefully the venue it takes place at will actually be looking forward to it (and the business) as well.

With her 2009 debut album, Because I Was in Love, New Jersey–native Sharon Van Etten captured the attention of audiences, critics and musicians, who were drawn to her intimate musical portraits etched with introspective lyrics and varied arrangements. Since Van Etten's acclaimed 2010 release Epic, she's played the Pitchfork Music Festival, performed at the Hollywood Bowl with Neko Case, appeared live on the BBC and was recently named a "must-see act" by Rolling Stone. Her latest album, 2012's Tramp, was recorded during a 14-month period of scattered sessions, where the only constant was the garage studio and input of producer Aaron Dessner of the National. Here, the Rock Hall catches up with the singer/songwriter, who shares insights about life on the road, why she loves playing in New York City and what people can expect of her live performances. Sharon Van Etten will headline a free concert at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, on August 22, 2012, part of the Summer in the City concert series.
Rock Hall: How would you describe your music to somebody who has never heard it before?
Sharon Van Etten: My style of writing is a musical diary of sorts. Whether it be about myself or my friends or my family, it's always personal. I try to write on a universal level so everyone can relate to my experiences. I focus on melodies…. When people want me to describe it, I just say: "kind of rock, kind of folk... can be loud, can be quiet."
RH: What's it like being on the road?
SVE: It's a lot of fun, but it can be very disorienting to wake up in a different city every day. It's hard to get exercise, it's hard to eat right, and it's hard to find down time, but all that being said, I love my band and we have so much fun traveling with each other. It's like a summer camp on the road. We all like meeting new people and trying new things and going on adventures, so it makes for a fun time, every time.
RH: Do you have a favorite city where you like to perform? If so, why?
SVE: I love playing my home base, New York. Bowery Ballroom is my favorite venue to play ever. It's also a nice homecoming to say hello and show my neighbors how I have been doing, what I have been working on, and just reminding them that I miss them. Everyone that works with and for Bowery are so sweet and are still passionate about music, too. That, and my parents love going there.
RH: What can your fans expect when they come to your show?
SVE: We have been touring since February. We are tighter than we have ever been and we are still having a lot of fun. The songs sound just as good – if not better – than the record. Even though we are a bit more stripped down than the record, it makes for a more straight-up rock show.

There are many different types of Bluetooth enabled devices you can add to your computer, such as mobile phones, wireless headsets, and wireless mouse devices and keyboards.
Before you can add a Bluetooth enabled device to your computer, you must do two things to make sure your computer and the device are ready to connect:
Add a Bluetooth adapter to your computer if it doesn't already have one. You can do this by plugging the adapter into a USB port.
Some computers come with a built-in Bluetooth adapter, especially laptops. You might have to turn on the adapter, or use a switch on your laptop to turn it on if your laptop has one. This might not be called a Bluetooth switch. It might be called a wireless switch, or something similar. If you are unsure about how to turn on the Bluetooth adapter or whether your computer has a built-in Bluetooth adapter, check the manual for your computer or the manufacturer's website.
Set up the Bluetooth enabled device so that your computer can find it.
To do this, you must first:
Turn the device on.
Make it discoverable.
When a Bluetooth enabled device is in discovery mode, it broadcasts a wireless signal that allows it to be detected by other devices or computers. This is sometimes called pairing mode. When most devices are discoverable, they are also in pairing mode, ready to be paired with your computer.
To learn how to make a device discoverable, check the information that came with your device or go to the manufacturer's website. Methods for making a device discoverable can vary widely from one type of device to the next. Some Bluetooth enabled devices are always in discovery mode. Others, such as most mobile phones, need to be placed in discovery mode by selecting discovery from a software menu or pressing a button on the device. Discovery buttons can be very small and hard to spot, often placed on the bottom of a mouse, keyboard, or similar device. The button may be labeled with the word "connect," or another similar term; a Bluetooth logo; or it may not be labeled at all.
Once you've verified that a Bluetooth adapter is installed on your computer, and the device you want to connect with is discoverable, you can add most Bluetooth enabled devices to your computer. Here's how:
Open Devices and Printers by clicking the Start button , and then, on the Start menu, clicking Devices and Printers.
Click Add a device, and then follow the instructions.
Click the Bluetooth enabled device you want to add to your computer, and then click Next. If you don't see the device you want to add, make sure the device is turned on and discoverable. If you just turned on the device, it may take Windows several seconds to detect it.
Windows might ask you to enter a pairing code (sometimes called a PIN or passcode). Most Bluetooth enabled devices need to be paired with your computer before they can exchange information with each other. To do this, they must exchange protected pairing codes. This means that only the wireless devices you authorize can connect with your computer.
If you have trouble detecting your Bluetooth enabled device or connecting it to your computer, see Add a Bluetooth or other wireless or network device: frequently asked questions.
Click Add a printer, and then follow the instructions.
Encryption features and a passkey can help to secure your data. However, these and other security measures can be compromised or fail and, if that happens, your data could be visible to or accessible by other devices or computers within range. Therefore, Bluetooth wireless technology should not be considered completely secure.

I seem to be using two IP addresses on my PC. I use DHCP to get an IP address and then I statically set an IP address and activate it. ifconfig says that I am using the address given by DHCP but I am also able to connect to a device on the network of the statically set IP. What is going on here?
DHCP address: 172.16.1.99 Statically set address: 10.1.49.200 OS: Fedora 8
