This week's RAW starts with recap of Kane standing over Eve threateningly, then with Cena video cut in over Kane's words. He's afraid for Eve, Cena, anyone in his path, and of himself.
Kane on the tron saying there's nothing he won't do, no line he won't cross, no atrocity he won't commit to get Cena to embrace the hate. Tonight two things will happen – Cena will embrace the hate, and someone will take a ride in this… The ambulance. He opens the back doors, then the camera close in on his blue eye.
Music and pyro.
In Ring Segment
Justin announces King who's in the ring. It's the first ever Elimination Chamber Debate! NO reaction for this. He introduces the people in the debate – Kofi, Jericho, Miz, Dolph, R-Truth and CM Punk. Punk yells, "Vote for me!" Punk chants starts. King says each have 45 seconds to respond.
Punk first – the odds are against Punk, why does he think he'll walk out Champ? Laurinaitis cuts in before Punk can talk with My name is John Laurinaitis, and he's happy to be there and have the support of the Board of Directors and glad he has their support as Executive Vice President of Talent Relations and Interim RAW General Manager.
"Punk" chants. He has three things to say – to the WWE 'Universe', he promises the debate won't end in violence. Want to have classy debate. To old snickle-fritz, John Laurinaitis, aka Clownshoes, Punk wants to offer his congratulations in staying in power. Many must think Laurinaitis has something over the Board of Directors, naked pictures of beastiality, but looking at the knees of his slacks, he's been doing a lot of begging. The third is about the Elimination Chamber, why does he think he'll win? He's the best wrestler in the world.
Dolph's rebuttle? EXCUSE ME! EXCUSE ME! EXCUSE ME! There should be no booing allowed. Dolph says he's better in the ring at everything, even the audience. He backs it up. Then there's people like R-Truth who don't even know what state they're in right now.
R-Truth asks if that's right, to get the fans 'What'ing. He says if he's elected, then he's going to trade Vickie and Dolph to Smackdown. For Horns and a box of spiders.
Dolph asks how R-Truth work here.
King tells R-Truth to go on, R-Truth calls King, 'Your honor.' If he's elected, he will legally require that 'what' be shouted – what? – Don't what me! Okay, what me! In every line of the Pledge Of Allegiance. To the issue at hand, the box of spiders. He will take it and stomp them and put them in a blender, and make his Grand MoMo's favorite, Spider Stew! High in protein, low in carbs! And then his running mate Little Jimmy, will watch him gulp down the spider stew to give him energy to outlast everyone in the Elimination Chamber and become the WWE Champion. God bless Little Jimmy, and God bless the United States of America. The fans go wild for him!
King says he's going to Miz. Huge heat for Miz. King says he was in the main event at last year's WrestleMania. Miz says he was the main event of last year's WrestleMania. He made history defending his Title, twice. That's why WrestleMania 27 was an astronomical success. "You suck!" chants. Miz wants to talk about the Superstars in the Elimination Chamber!. Kofi is an afterthought. R-Truth is insane and Little Jimmy should take his spot. Punk is 0-2 in Elimination Chamber and is going to crumble faster than the cookie cream of his ice cream bars. Miz can barely gets his words out and Punk mocks him for it. Dolph is in his first Elimination Chamber. The only time he's ever scored is with an old woman. Then there's Jericho… BUZZZ! King cuts him off, he's out of time. Miz goes off on Jericho and on and on. BUZZZ! More and more on Jericho. BUZZZ!
Kofi cuts Miz off with his afterthought comment, most might agree with him, but he's been overlooked for far too long. That's the great thing about the Elimination Chamber, everything could change. He could walk in and afterthought, but walk out the next WWE Champion. "Kofi!" chants.
King goes to Jericho. Jericho, in his blinking jacket, says he's surrounded by neophytes in this ring. Neophytes in this entire arena! But all need to quiet down as the best in the world at what he does is going to enunciate. We want facts? There hasn't been a human who's been in more Elimination Chamber than any other human being (I thought he and Trip were tied at 6). There isn't a human being who's eliminated more Superstars in the Chamber (Not sure ont hat one) than him. The last time he was in an Elimination Chamber Match, he walked out World Heavyweight Champion. Serious, let's be honest, his list of accomplishment outshine all the other five of them together, completely. He's here, they're there. Punk, look at me when I'm talking to you, boy! He should give Jericho the Title now as the master has come to reclaim what is his! Does he understand what he's saying to Punk right now?
Chants for Punk. Punk turns and asks Jericho if he was talking to him? He's sorry, he wasn't listening to Jericho. He was remembering when Jericho left, then finished 7th on DWTS! Sorry, go ahead.
King tries to bring things back, but Dolph says it's a joke, the debates a joke, the audience is a joke. This is 15 minutes of his life he can't have back.
R-Truth stops Dolph and says he won't be talked down to by a guy named after Flipper! R-Truth makes dolphin noises.
King says they're all in individual matches, so let's start that. Kofi versus Jericho. Jericho shoulder pushes by Kofi, then pushes Kofi with his hand. Jericho pushes R-Truth's podium, but then turns into Kofi's trouble in paradise! Kofi paces the match and talks smack down at Jericho on the mat.

King says the drop kick as well, meaning no one else can do it. Cole says King uses the drop kick and has been around for 40-50 years.

In Ring Segment
Justin announces HBK. HBK out in black jeans, huge belt buckle, black sleeveless button down shirt and straw cowboy hat and the biggest smile! HBK looks possibly more muscular than when he left! Posing for the fans as if he never left. "HBK!" chants fill the arena! He says he doesn't mind telling us, he hasn't done it for a while and is nervous. Earlier today on Titter a guy asked why he comes around this time of the year? HBK snorts. It's WrestleMania! You can't have WrestleMania season without Mr. WrestleMania! Let's face it, no matter where he's at he's still the Headliner, the Show Stopper, the Main Eve… Okay, he may not be the Main Event anymore, but that's why he's added Mr. Hall of Fame! The fans like this.
Having said that, much like us, he was sitting home last week riveted to his TV set. Even though he lives in the middle of nowhere, he still gets TV! He, like us, was waiting for Triple H to utter those words we all wanted to hear. "I accept the challenge to Taker." Like many of us, he was shocked when Trip didn't give it. He called Laurinaitis and says he needs to talk to his best friend. Then it donned on HBK, he's just playing Taker, just baiting him. He's here to bring Trip out and tell us that he's ending Taker's streak. So Triple H it's time to come on down and let us hear what we want to hear!
HBK dances to Trip's music. Trip out in a fairly decently fitting suit, plain white shirt, corporate red tie. Another huge hug between the friends. Trip points to his friend in respect. "DX" chants. They both cross wrists over their chests, no crotch chops.
Trip says they made it clear, it's great to see HBK. While he understands it's hard to tear him from Texas and hunting wabbits with Elmer Fudd, or whatever he does to come here, he speaks for everybody when he says it would be nice if they didn't only see him once a year. HBK says he'll work on that. After last week he wanted to be there live with everyone to hear the news of Trip facing Taker at WrestleMania. Trip says if that's why he's there, he wishes that HBK had called, because he's not facing Taker at WrestleMania this year. He thought he made it clear last week.
HBK doesn't want to interrupt Trip. HBK understands Trip has to do the thing with the suit, he understands that and always will. But forget the suit. Trip says it's not the suit talking. HBK saw it, Taker won the battle, but didn't leave the ring under his won power. Trip won the war. They hadn't seen him for a year. He has to end him to beat him and he's not that guy anymore.
HBK says that's exactly who Trip is. He's a closer, he ends careers, steps on throats. He has no mercy, no compassion, that's what make shim the Game. What does it mean that's not who he is? Is all of this suit thing who he is now? He stood with Trip through everything. When everything in Trip's life changed and people said a lot of stuff, HBK never left his side. He has news for Trip. He married that chick and became one of them. Huge heat for that comment. Trip looks pissed. HBK asks if he's a sellout? A corporate sellout, but a sellout none the less.
Trip says it's not selling out, it's investing for the future. In a future for all of them – the fans. He gets it, HBK's not in his shoes, he doesn't get it.
HBK gets it. Trip talks about HBK and his ranch. It's true, he's a simple guy. It's hard for him to understand how much his deep, philosophical business life has to be, but he knows when a man challenges you and you back down. That makes you a coward. HBK doesn't care… Trip appears to be leaving, but HBK grabs his arm, spins Trip and tells him that he's not finished! He doesn't care how nice Trip dresses it up, how much money he wraps around it, but at the end of the day, a coward is still a coward.
Trip is right in HBK's face. His nostrils flare, his shoulders rise, he bows up at his best friend and stares. Then Trip turns and leaves to huge heat. HBK says to walk away. Walk away because that's what a coward does!
Trip is through the ropes, but comes back and gets in HBK's face and says HBK doesn't understand what's going on here. He can't! He sits there on his ranch with his wife and kids. Trip has responsibilities, real life responsibilities. Like it or not, he doesn't give a damn if they do or not, this, all of this (Trip points around at the fans, the event, at RAW) all if it is going to be his! (The fans gasp that Trip act It's his responsibility and it weighs on his shoulders, even now! HBK looks at Taker like an opponent, for years he looked at Taker like that, someone to go through. He used to, but now he can't, he looks at Taker as a brand! A brand that is good for business and he can't let that brand end because it's bad for business. Trip is shaking and can't seem to catch his breath, his words. HBK, Trip, Taker, they're the end of an era, they know it. The end of an era of a different breed. Smash mouth style that doesn't exist. They left it all in the ring, every night. They all made the ultimate sacrifice, without question. Trip won't be the one to end that era. HBK is is retired, Trip has other things, Taker is all that's left. He'll be damned if he's going to be the one to end that era. For no reason. Not because they want him to, Taker wants him to, to feed his own ego or feed HBK's ego, because HBK wants to live vicariously through Trip doing things HBK couldn't get done!
HUGE heat for that!
Trip says something off mic to HBK, then turns to leave, but HBK grabs his shoulder, gets his jacket, and Trip turns back, right in HBK's face. They stare at each other closely. HBK fixes Trip's jacket with a smirk, then steps back a bit and says that's an awesome speech and he's quite sure it works on a lot of people, and he likes the always consistent little jab at HBK, but here's the thing, HBK is at peace where he's at in his life, Trip has no peace. So he's going to cut to the chase. Trip needs to look HBK in the eye and tell him that Trip doesn't want to end the streak. Look HBK in the eye and tell him that he doesn't want to end Taker. Look HBK in the eye and tell him he doesn't need it, want it. Look him in the eye and tell him no. Trip is seething, straightens his tie, then turns, but HBK grabs the shoulder of his jacket again.
Trip looks at HBK and off comes the jacket, but Trip forgot he had the mic in his hand and it caught on its way through his sleeve. Trip right in HBK's face, right there, nostrils flaring.
Trip says no. He drops the mic. HBK backs up a bit, looks Trip up and down and leaves the ring in disgust. Trip unbuttons his shirt. "HBK" chants. HBK on the stands looks down at Trip in the ring. They stare, HBK pissed and disgusted, Trip green.
Trip heads for the ropes and GONG! Video on the tron, Trip saying he felt bad for Taker. Then that Taker challenged him and he said no. He looked Taker in the eyes and felt sorry. Taker's voice says it's not over. Vengeance. Vengeance. He will get what he wants. Keep his pity. Give him what is his… Immortality. Through the video Taker is cutting his hair with a straight razor. Taker's eye on screen to end it. Trip removes his tie and unbuttons another button as the camera is on him.

In Ring Segment
Cena out to the ring looking a bit out of sorts, possibly embarrassed? Cole talks up Cena's Ambulance Match with Kane at the Elimination Chamber PPV. Cena listens to the pop, heat and chants. He says it was a bit of an awkward moment by the ambulance back there. He tried to apologize ti Ryder, but he wouldn't listen. For what it's worth, he's sorry. This was Kane's plan all along. Turn his friends and the WWE 'Universe' against him. Leave him alone with no other choice than to embrace the hate. Pretty solid plan, would have worked on anybody else. But he's not anybody else. He can tell listening to the fans that if he's harassed enough, he will get to his breaking point and just snap! "We all hate you!" chants from men fill the arena! It's been like six years. People like that can't understand that he's comfortable in his own skin. People like that can't understand that he's proud to be who he is and do what he does. It's people like that that don't get that he rises above hate. It's people like that that think that makes Cena soft. Maybe they take it as kindness. A message to those who think like that, and Kane. Go ahead and think that Cena needs to hate. Go ahead, think he's a cream puff, Fruity Pebbles with lady parts who think that he can't fight his way out of a paper bag! "Fruity Pebbles!" chants.
It's funny, right? He'll continue to do what he does. He will adapt. He will overcome. And he will win. We have his word this Sunday at Elimination Chamber, Kane will leave in an ambulance. As for his good friend Dwayne… "Rocky!" chants. Cena has a message for him about WrestleMania.

Kane on the tron calling out, "Jo-ohn. Oh, Jo-ohn!" Kane says Cena is in denial, he can talk all he wants about rising above the hate. But Cena stole the one true love of his only friend. Kane thought he was sick, but Cena sunk to depths Kane could only dream of (Katy Vick?). Cena truly has finally embraced the hate. Unfortunately for Cena, he feeds of hate. Which means this Sunday will be the last time anyone sees Cena fight in a WWE ring until WrestleMania. Cena will not overcome. Cena will not adapt. Cena most certainly will not win. This Sunday his body and soul will leave the WWE ring in an ambulance. But before Kane leaves, let's have a round of applause for John Cena.

Dialing the ISP:Four methods are presented here:
Other resources:
Note: Configurations for ppp must be performed as root. Also check your manual or the manufacturer for settings/commands useful to your modem. Also, it is wise to choose one method of configuration as the different methods may conflict with one another.
Related YoLinux Tutorials:
Point to Point Protocol, or ppp, is used to create your connection over one's analog telephone modem to your ISP and the internet. Your computer will use communication ports, known as "COM" ports to access your modem. Linux will refer to these hardware COM ports as Unix devices as follows:
Currently many systems will auto-detect your modem and assign the device /dev/modem. Use this device if configured properly.
When connected to the internet, a Domain Name Server (DNS) is provided by your ISP to resolv the names of URL's. The IP addresses of these DNS servers must be provided during configuration as well as the ISP access phone number, your login and password.
This example is the manual configuration specific to Red Hat 5.2 /6.0/6.1/6.2 and a US Robotics 56k external modem.
Perform the following configuration as user root.
Edit the following files:
/etc/resolv.conf - Add:
/etc/nsswitch - Change: (older systems use hosts.conf)
/etc/ppp/options - File should look like this:
Valid baud rates: 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400, 460800
For a full list of options see pppd man page.
/etc/ppp/chat-isp - File should look like this:
Other options include:
Configuration Done!
Using PPP
Then start Netscape: (as user)
netscape&OR by clicking on toolbar icon.
Hang up / Disconnect: (From root shell)
killall -HUP pppd
Notes:[Pitfall]: If your network is using a SOCKS proxy server and Netscape can not resolve the URL destination, try executing this command before starting Netscape. In this scenario, you must start netscape from the same shell in which you executed the "export" command in order for Netscape to pick up the environment variable.
export SOCKS_NS = XXX.XXX.XXX.XXXWhere XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is the IP address of the SOCKS proxy server.
[Pitfall]: Its seems weird, but on a typical default installation, you must be root to execute pppd. You must use the su command to switch your user id to root. This will maintain the user configuration. Read on to learn how to configure users to run pppd.
Launching PPP from the Gnome desktop:The pppd command requires root privileges. There are two ways to grant this privilege to a user for the sole purpose of using pppd.
Right button click on the open desktop + New + Launcher:
To terminate pppd, issue the command: killall pppd
Note: Linuxconf is no longer included with most Linux distributions. (Red Hat 7.3+)
The previous set-up configures the ifup and ifdown commands.
Adding a toolbar applet to invoke ifup/ifdown:
This creates a small icon on the toolbar which contains a performance meter. (Measures Kilobits/sec.)
Notes:This configuration of scripts /sbin/ifup / /sbin/ifdown will alter/create the files:
Red Hat network config file (typical): /etc/sysconfig/network
The scripts will employ the commands:
From the Gnome start menu select:
This method of dialing is simple but less flexible because it does not rely on chat. This method is only good for generic ISP's which query for a login and password.

The 67-year-old actress is not a fan of the animated TV show, which sees Homer and his clan enjoy numerous japes, because she believes it's content does not promote good morals. To quote Mrs Lovejoy; "Will someone please think of the children!"
When asked what she would do if she was 'Queen of Everything' in an interview with Stylist magazine, she said: "I'd have to ban The Simpsons. It's not good for people's moral compass. It's OK for adults as we can put it all together but it's not good for kids and I think we need to bring back something more family orientated like Leave It To Beaver that I used to watch when I was growing up." So before she got together with Elvis when aged 14.
Priscilla - who just so happens to be playing the Wicked Queen in panto Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in London this month - is also worried about the decline of religion in Western society and is concerned about the amount of children being raised by divorced parents.
She explained: "We're in trouble. Churches are going, religious leaders are being attacked. I do think we need guidance because we're in trouble right now for not having any. It's the same with parents. When we're growing up it's our parents who we look to to give us guidance, the morals, the ethics, the standards. I find that because kids are being raised by multiple parents with the divorce rate as high as it is, everyone is thinking differently."
Priscilla's daughter Lisa Marie Presley - her only child with Elvis - has been divorced three times after marriages to Danny Keough, Michael Jackson and Nicolas Cage all failed.
Lisa Marie now lives in East Sussex, England with her husband, guitarist Michael Lockwood, and their four-year-old twin girls Harper and Finley and Lisa's two other children from her marriage with Keough.

Why 'delivery' is the most important word in tech
Rubbish products don't succeed. But neither do good products, if you can't deliver on a promise.
I recently took delivery of my brand new OnePlus One phone. Very recently. Too recently in fact.
This has been well documented elsewhere, but the OnePlus One phone is a brilliant piece of tech that is dammned hard to get hold of here in the UK. In my case there was a gap of almost three weeks between me parting with money online and finally receiving my handset. In the intervening days there were a couple of issues, and there was not a great deal of communication, culminating with a text message from the courier asking me to pony up an additional £31 to pay import duty before I could get my OnePlus One.
This was okay for me as a tech journalist trying to get in a product to review, but would be not so great if you are a consumer waiting for a new phone. In fact, in that circumstance I'd expect that most people would simply cancel the order.
This is not to make a dig at OnePlus by the way. Support staff are chasing down my £31 as we speak, and the phone is great. But it illustrates a critical point.
As consumer tech has become commoditised, and virtually all computational devices good enough for purpose, the ability to get a product in the hand of the consumer becomes paramount. We live in a world in which people expect their desires to be immediately sated. If you buy something online, you want it tomorrow at the latest.

Tim Cook - only the logistics guy
Don't believe me? Consider Apple. Yes, Apple designs and builds great products. It markets them (and itself) beautifully. But Apple is also brilliant at managing its levels of stock, and getting the product you speficied into your clammy mitts within hours of you making a purchase.
This latter aspect was critical to Apple's post-Steve Jobs' return success. Yes, Jobs, Ive and the rest created amazing category-changing products such as the iPod, iPhone and iPad. But it was Tim Cook who made the business aspects work.
Prior to joining Apple, Cook worked for both IBM and Compaq in fulfilment and operations roles. He joined Apple as a senior vice president of Worldwide Operations, and before he was CEO he was Chief Operations Officer. He's the operations guy. The man who looks after logistics. He can be credited with changing Apple from a brilliant but slightly shambollic company into the ruthless corporate machine that can build hundreds of thousands of iPads without the outside world getting a glimpse of what an iPad is. He's the guy who makes sure that Apple never has more than a few days' worth of unsold inventory. He's the reason that Apple makes a billion Dollars a quarter. And that's why the Steve Jobs wanted Cook to follow him as CEO. See also: Five signs that you are doing World Cup social media wrong.
Amazon - only a book store
To find a company-wide example of the importance of delivery, you need look only as far as Amazon.
Amazon was an online book store, remember. But really, from day one, Amazon was about moving product from a to b. Jeff Bezos set up Amazon in Washington DC so that the fewest possible number of his customers would have to pay additional taxes from buying a book within their home state. He was already thinking about logistics. But the genius of Amazon as it grew in the US and beyond was the ability to get you the things you wanted, as soon as possible.
The UK is only a small country, but isn't it staggering that you can buy just about anything from Amazon on one day, and have it at your day the following morning? Logistics is what Amazon excels at, and it's why it has such a huge business. The Kindle, Kindle Fire and Fire Phone ranges builds from this. Yes they are ereaders, tablets and smartphones, but to Amazon they are simply another way of getting virtual products to you. Immediately. (They are also another way of you ordering physical products, which you can receive tomorrow.)
Rubbish products don't sell, but great products rarely succeed if the logistics and operations aren't taken care of. Delivery is not just important, it is the most important word in tech. See also: In defence of the single-use device.

Hi all,
I've checked through the BlueHost forums, but there's no mention of anyone using Knowledge Tree on BlueHost. Has anybody tried it out?
Googling, I've found a few leads on other people who've installed it on shared hosting, including on hosting using cPanel (apparently no root access required). Before I wrestle with it myself I thought I would check if anyone has experience/tips on how to do it.
I'm aware of the "file storage" restrictions on BlueHost -I'm planning on an online demo/small scale website, not trying to set up a huge DMS on BlueHost!

Last Saturday night's show at H2O in downtown Orlando was an epic night showcasing the high level of talent available in Orlando. The night was the EP release celebration for "The All of Us EP" from Orlando singer/songwriter Reggie Williams. Also on the bill were Orlando bands Landon Pontius and Chasing Jonah along with Central Florida band The Careful Ones. Instead of a set admission fee, donations were collected at the door for Beautiful Feet, a charitable organization fighting physical and spiritual poverty.
Starting the night off was Orlando based singer/songwriter Landon Pontius and his band. This was his first live performance with the full band, but it certainly wasn't obvious in their performance. The five piece band meshed well together during their set. Pontius' music swayed between a deft, funky vibe to more of a country twang from one song to the next, all accented by his captivating, smoothly flowing lead vocal. His soaring, passionate vocal on "Ready" and his closing song, "I'll Be Alright" were specific highlights of his set.
Next up was Orlando band Chasing Jonah. The three piece band, Ashley Dudukovich (lead vocals, guitar), Brandon Miller (bass) and Mark DeMaio (djembe), played a spirited set of Indie folk rock music adorned by Dudukovich's sultry soulful lead vocals. Their set included songs from their debut EP "And the Clocks Moved" including the title track and the immensely popular "Run." They also played several newer songs that will hopefully be on their next CD such as the tough sounding bluesy "Miss Lorraine" and the heart wrenchingly beautiful set closer "Only One I'd Sing To."
Following Chasing Jonah was the Lakeland based band The Careful Ones. The five piece band's pop/rock music is vocally focused, steeped in harmonies and embellished by massive percussion filled jams, creating a riveting live performance. For their last song, lead singer Joshua Robinson sat at the keys for a stark solo performance capped off with a jam packed finale featuring the whole band.
Then it was time for the main event, a rare full band show with Orlando based singer/songwriter Reggie Williams. All five band members, Williams (lead vocals, guitar), Austin Smith (drums), AP Harris (keyboards), Michael Besedick (guitar) and Cristian Faustmann (bass) performed in their bare feet, showing their support for the event's charity, Beautiful Feet.
Most of his set list came from his recently released EP including the openers "I Don't Know How" and "Moving On." Not every song he played was from the EP, he also performed a rousing rendition of Allen Stone's "Unaware." The song "I Wanna Live," (also from the EP) was a great choice as a set closer with the fast beating up-tempo music and rapid fire vocals. It definitely got the crowd fired-up about his music.
It is really hard to pin down any one thing about Williams' live show that is so alluring, it just is. His silky smooth voice, passionate vocal delivery and heartfelt lyrics easily draw a listener into his music. His witty comments between songs, genuine expressions of gratitude and overall humble attitude at a live performance add so much more to the whole atmosphere.
Leading up to this show Williams had posted this message on his Facebook page, "This Saturday, I plan to show you who I want to become. Thank you so sincerely, for any and everything. Let's make each other proud." He did just that.
It was a terrific night of live music from some very talented vocalists fronting impressively skilled band members. The four lead vocalists at this show could undoubtedly out shine any contestant in those television talent searches. Orlando music fans should definitely check out the next live performances by these bands.
(Orlando band ELEVATORS played after Reggie Williams but The Orlando Local Music Examiner wasn't able to stay for their set to include it in the review.)

I installed all the Anthy ibus packages and changed my Japanese language settings properly but the Anthy bar doesn't show up when I press CTRL+Space. I tried changing the shortcut in the ibus preferences section but it still doesn't work. I have Japanese as my system's default language and up to 2 days ago, Anthy worked just fine (the bar showed up when I pressed CTRL+Space) but then it suddenly stopped working. I tried to uninstall Anthy and installing it again, all to no avail.
What could be the problem?

We did see this one briefly at NAMM, but unfortunately were unable to get a sound feed. We caught up with Jim Heinz, the creator of SynthX , TimewARP 2600 and other viruals, to give us a little more information on the iOS app.
You can now purchase it for $10 bucks in the Apple App Store - with a recent update giving support to the dual core processing available in the new iPad 2
sounds nothing like the real one

Just to be clear, SynthX is a polyphonic ARP AXXE emulation. Not an Elka Synthex emulation. The name SynthX was chosen because we see it as a synth expander of sorts.

cool stuff man!! can always see when someone has and had fun in developing there product :D and the gui looks fine as it is, minimal and functional, no fancy distractions. the sounds remind me software-wise to the first ersion of Orion DX software synth. and other old vintage synths.

T-mobile G2x Gingerbread Coming Soon
The T-mobile G2x was shipped with Froyo and a few bugs, but thankfully, T-mobile says we will not have to wait too long for the update. This tweet by T-MobileUSA says the Gingerbread update for the G2x is on the horizon. They did not give a specific time frame or even if it's happening today, but hopefully this short isn't the same short time Samsung gave us.
For the people wondering why an update was possible for the G2x in such a short period of time, here is exactly why. The phone runs an unthemed version of Android, and when you have pure Android on a phone, updates can happen almost instantly because you just have to import your drivers and format it for your phone and not worry about all the extra software problems.
Anyone own this phone around here? Excited?

BOULDER, Colo. -- The No. 2 Stanford women's soccer team begins defense of its four consecutive Pac-12 titles when it opens conference play on Saturday at Colorado (8-1-0) at noon PT (1 p.m. MT). Stanford (7-0-1 overall) is unbeaten in its past 12 conference openers (10-0-2) and has never lost to the Buffaloes, though the Cardinal had to rally late to win last year, also at CU's Prentup Field.
* * *
The following is a closer look at Saturday's match:
Who: No. 2 Stanford (7-0-1) at Colorado (8-1-0)
When: Saturday, noon PT (1 p.m. MT)
Where: Prentup Field, Boulder, Colo.
Storyline: Stanford begins defense of its four consecutive Pac-12 titles.
All-Time Series Record: Stanford leads, 4-0-0.

Follow: Live stats, look for links on gostanford.com when the match begins.
* * *
The Season Thus Far: On Sunday, in a match at No. 22 Santa Clara and televised live on ESPNU, Stanford rallied to tie in the final minute of regulation before winning, 3-2, in double overtime. Courtney Verloo scored all three goals on set pieces, including on a 22-yard free kick in the 108th minute. Stanford remains undefeated and has won five consecutive matches. Taylor Uhl, who has scored six goals in her past four contests, leads the Cardinal with eight goals. Also, senior All-America goalkeeper Emily Oliver retired last week for medical reasons after the latest in a series of concussions. She now holds the school career record for goal-against average (0.36). Her starting spot has been taken by freshman Jane Campbell.
* * *
Current Stanford Streaks:
• Five consecutive NCAA College Cup appearances.
• Four consecutive Pac-10/12 Conference titles.
• 160-match unbeaten streak when scoring a goal (153-0-7; last loss, 2006).
• 72-match home unbeaten streak (68-0-3; last loss, 2007), No. 2 in NCAA Division I women's soccer history behind North Carolina's 84 (1986-94).
• 42-match conference winning streak (last loss, 2008), No. 3 in NCAA history.
• 38-match unbeaten streak (35-0-3) on opponents' home fields (last loss, 2008).
• 24-match regular-season unbeaten streak (22-0-2).
• 22-match conference road winning streak (last loss, 2008).
• 15 consecutive NCAA tournament appearances.
• Four-match winning streak against Colorado (4-0-0 in all-time series).
* * *
Saturday's Opponent, Colorado: The Buffaloes (8-1) are experiencing one of the best starts in program history. They are tied with UCLA and Washington State for the second-best overall winning percentage in the Pac-12 (.889), behind only Stanford's leading .938. Colorado got off to a program-best 6-0 start and its eight nonconference victories ties a school record. However, the Buffs have yet to beat a current ranked team. It's only loss was 3-0 to current No. 19 Denver. Goalkeeper Annie Brunner (0.55 GAA) has six shutouts, tying her for the Pac-12 lead.
The Stanford-Colorado Series: Stanford leads the all-time series 4-0-0, and has outscored the Buffaloes, 11-2. But the Cardinal was fortunate to escape with a 2-1 victory last year in the Cardinal's first trip to Prentup Field since the Buffaloes joined the Pac-12 in 2011. With Colorado holding a 1-0 second-half lead, Stanford scored two goals within 37 seconds, both in the 79th minute, to emerge with the victory. Mariah Nogueira and Alina Garciamendez, each of whom has graduated, provided the scores.
* * *
Player of the Week Sweep: Fifth-year senior forward Courtney Verloo is the reigning consensus national player of the week after her dramatic hat trick on Sunday lifted Stanford to a 3-2 victory at then-No. 22 Santa Clara. Verloo scored on free kicks from 30 and 22 yards -- the latter in the 108th minute to win the double-overtime match. In between, she converted a penalty kick with 54 seconds left in regulation to force overtime. Verloo was named national player of the week by the NSCAA, Top Drawer Soccer, and CollegeSoccer360.com, and was the Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week.
* * *
Oliver Retires: Goalkeeper Emily Oliver, whose 0.36 goals-against average is a school career record, retired last week after being sidelined by the latest in a series of concussions. In 2011, she was an NCSAA third-team All-America and the College Cup Defensive MVP while helping the Cardinal win its first NCAA title.

Sunstein Heads to the Hill and AEI to Talk Regulation
White House regulatory policy guru Cass Sunstein will be busy ahead of the long holiday weekend, rolling out the results of the administration's effort to root out federal rules that could be hobbling job creation.
President Barack Obama issued an order in January directing executive agencies to review regulations on the books, and identify outdated or overly burdensome regulations that could be eliminated. The agency reports were due May 18, but so far, the administration has been tightlipped about the results.
Mr. Sunstein, the head of the White House's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, is giving a speech Thursday at the American Enterprise Institute in which he might offer highlights of the findings.
But he's also scheduled to appear in front of a congressional oversight panel Wednesday morning to talk about the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act, a 1995 law that is supposed to count the cost of regulations for state and local government. Republicans on the Oversight Committee are expected to grill Mr. Sunstein about the review, and could make it hard for him to stay quiet.
"I'd like to be able to hear from Cass Sunstein what he is expecting to come out of that," said James Lankford, a freshman Republican from Oklahoma who chairs the subcommittee holding the hearing. "I'm actually going to be fascinated to hear what is up for review."
GOP members of the Oversight Committee have become increasingly angry at what they consider administration stonewalling on a range of issues, and may not accept excuses. The committee has also been promoting the results of its own survey of regulations most hated by industry groups, which it published in February.
Those aren't the only tricky politics for Mr. Sunstein. Some Democrats and left-leaning groups have worried that the president is opening the door to businesses to gut regulations protecting consumers and workers. Others — including some labor unions — say the president won't be taken seriously on the economy unless he puts major environmental rules on the table.
The White House is expected to release agencies' plans by the end of the week.

There is growing anecdotal evidence that the public is not as fearful of firearms as gun prohibitionists contend, as underscored by the national popularity of a "guns welcome" restaurant in Tennessee, an open carry eatery in Colorado, and yesterday's reports of spiking concealed carry licensing in South Carolina and Kansas.
Yesterday's report on Fox & Friends about the Shiloh Brew and Chew in Maryville, Tenn., and Monday night's ABC Nightline report about the Shooter's Grill in Rifle, Colo., have hit the right chord with people across the country. Reinforcing the notion that more people support the exercise of Second Amendment rights is data from Kansas, where the second-highest number of carry permit applications in the state's history were filed during the past fiscal year, which ended June 30. The state reported 14,205 applications during FY 2014, a drop from the 25,316 applications during FY 2013.
Kansas has had concealed carry only since 2006, and in that short time, more than 90,000 Kansans have applied for carry licenses. That is a significant number in a state with an estimated population of 2.88 million. Washington, with about 7 million people, reported early this month that more than 461,000 people had concealed pistol licenses.
Likewise, in South Carolina, the State Law Enforcement Division reported that over the past three years, the number of concealed weapons permit applications has doubled. WSAV reported Monday that the number of permit applications "increased from 40, 270 in 2011, to 64, 437 in 2012 and 86, 686 in 2013."
Yesterday, Shiloh Brew and Chew owner Sharma Floyd told Fox & Friends that her business was on the financial ropes but then she posted her business gun-friendly. Now, no pun intended, business appears to be booming.
The sign in Floyd's glass door says it all. "Guns are Welcome on premises. Please keep ALL weapons holstered unless need arises. In such case, judicious marksmanship is appreciated."
Out in Rifle, most of the staff at the Shooters Grill are visibly armed. Proprietor Lauren Boebert told ABC that "It is a very common thing here. We see people open carrying all the time." Visitors come from all over the map.
She also said this, which is sure to make gun prohibitionists cringe: "I think it should be normal everywhere. I think it should be a common sight. I think we would have a lot less violence if it was."
Demonstrating the intolerance of anti-gunners, there has been some hate mail sent to Boebert. One letter quoted by ABC stated, "'Hope God punishes you for what you are doing. Hope that you and all of your patrons will kill yourself."
Here in Washington, during the first six months of this year, the Department of Licensing reported a rise of 11,679 new CPLs. By comparison to Kansas, however, during the months of July 2013 through June of this year, the number of active Evergreen State CPLs climbed by 24,053, and that's in a Blue State where yesterday anti-gun President Barack Obama visited for two fund raisers that netted an undisclosed amount of cash from wealthy elites.
Many of Seattle's wealthy elites back Initiative 594, the 18-page gun control measure being sold ostensibly as a "universal background check" scheme. But rank-and-file law enforcement, represented by at least two state-wide groups – the Washington State Law Enforcement Firearms Instructors Association (WSLEFIA) and Washington Council of Police and Sheriffs (WACOPS) – both strongly oppose I-594. They support the alternative measure, Initiative 591.

Eucharistic Ministers serve as leaders of prayer among the worshipping assembly at Mass, both at Christ the Teacher Chapel and Hall Masses, as they help the clergy to distribute the Body and Blood of Christ as extraordinary ministers of the sacrament. This ministry is a testimony to one's Catholic Faith and is understood as a public witness of faith. In the course of their ministry, most Eucharistic Ministers discover a greater appreciation of the Lord's presence in the Eucharist and a closer relationship with the Lord.
Training sessions for Eucharistic Ministers take place at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters. A student coordinator assists with the training and ongoing formation of Eucharistic Ministers as well as finding substitutes in scheduling.
If this ministry interests you, please contact Anthony Paz, ext. 7863 or in the Chapel of Christ the Teacher.

The U.S. Navy will now fight pirates … with lasers! The new move is simultaneously making possible a new era of military combat, proving right every good futuristic science movie, and not to mention providing the most awesome news headline this millennium!
This past week, naval forces on the west coast of the U.S. successfully tested a new high-powered laser system by setting a vacant boat on fire from miles away. And if implemented, the system has more applications than just deterring swashbuckling foes.
"This is very important to the Navy's future weapon systems," said Rear Adm. Nevin Carr, chief of the Office of Naval Research. "By turning energy into a weapon, we become more efficient and more effective."
Aside from fighting pirates with lasers, the Navy spokesman said that the new weapons system could be used to destroy incoming cruise missiles, blast apart drones, or even take down high-powered ballistic missiles. Nice!
"In the distant future, I can envision a day when this technology is outfitted on cruisers and destroyers," he said.
Even Toy Story's Buzz Lightyear would approve of the new weaponry. Officers could also apparently "set lasers to stun" by blasting enemy personnel with an intense wave of heat. The weapon was developed by Northrop who won a $98 million contract to create it in July of 2009.
The Navy won't be fighting pirates with lasers just yet, though. Even if the laser passes all tests without a hitch, equipping battleships with the new weapon will likely be a very costly measure. During a time where the government is trying to cut trillions off the budget, I just can't see congress finding room for futuristic laser weapons. What do you think of the idea of the Navy using this new weapon? Is it really the future? Or just media-hype? Let me know your thoughts in the comment section!

We've turned you on to the fluffy, airy, sugary goodness that is Levity Gourmet Marshmallows before, but we cannot let this holiday season pass without informing you of their 2010 holiday flavors. It would be a crime! Pumpkin Pie ($14 for 15 marshmallows) is already available, and it takes a cup of hot chocolate from great to transcendent, let us tell you! The other four flavors, peppermint bark, gingerbread, chocolate orange spice, and eggnog, are all equally delicious, and will be available in November. (Though peppermint bark was our favorite on its' own.) We're thinking we need to go track down one of those chocolate oranges and some graham crackers to make killer s'mores with the chocolate orange spice marshmallows... STAT!
Full disclosure: Outblush received a free sample of this product.

I am attempting to access an infoset I have created in our ECC system (Version 6) from CRM (version 6.0)
for use in a datasource to be used in segmentation. I have sepcified the RFC destination but get the
following error message.
'Infoset Query could not be executed in <target system> '
Am I correct in thinking you should be able to access Infosets in ECC from CRM without having to go
through BI?.
Are there some specific settings that need to be made either to the infoset in ECC or to the RFC connection
to allow access from CRM to ECC infosets?.
Has anyone had a similar problems and found a solution?
Thanks for any help
I feel you need to go via BI. And then pull it to CRM.
Hi Aneesh,
Thanks for your comment.
Is that because you know it will not work from ECC?, have you tried doing the same?.
The documentation that I can find, and it is very little, seems to imply that you should be able to access infosets in ECC directly.
No Caroline, I am not sure if it will work from ECC or not.

Many high school sports fans around the Cleveland area have had the discussion over and over again. It seems to be an annual topic of conversation, especially when another private school such as St. Ignatius or St. Edward wins a state championship every year. It's the never ending saga of Public v.s. Private. Should private schools have their own divisions? While we can argue it to death whenever it comes up, there is something else that is evolving that makes the whole Public v.s. Private debate one grain of sand on a mile long beach.
The rise of so-called "Prep Schools"
The boosters who ran the SMU football program in the 1980's that resulted in the NCAA "death penalty" think this concept has gotten out of hand
What exactly is a Prep School?.... The original definition of a Prep School is one where the school in question runs a College Preparatory Program for those students that are going to go to college. Pretty self explanatory right? Some Prep Schools in the country still adhere to those values, and do an incredible job getting their students prepared for college life and education. There are a few however, that have turned the mission of the Prep School away from the educational aspect, and turned it into "Preparing basketball players to succeed at the next level". Let's take a look at a couple of the more well known Prep Schools, paying attention to how they were formed, and the success of the program through the manipulation of their rosters.
Huntington Prep (WV).... Huntington Prep, technically was formed in 2007, when it merged with St. Joseph Central Catholic High School. Its reputation started before that. Ohio basketball stars OJ Mayo and Bill Walker transferred from North College Hill High School in Cincinnati. At the time Mayo and Walker transferred in, Huntington Prep was still known as Huntington High. When administrators and others associated with the program saw what success the basketball program could have, they wanted to have more of these players transfer in from all over the country. To avoid transfer rules and eligibility requirements, the Prep School concept was born. Take a look at Huntington Prep's roster. Not only do they have players from all over the country, but some players from Canada and Puerto Rico.
Huntington Prep players still have to attend school at St.Joseph's, however, as a separate entity, they are immune to state regulations as far as travel when scheduling, thus allowing Huntington Prep to play a national schedule, traveling all across the country to play games. How has the shift to Prep School status gone so far? They have been a Top 10 high school team in the country for all six years they have been in existence. How good are they? They recently took on two of the better teams in the Cleveland area in the past week, in Cleveland Central Catholic and Shaker Hts.
They beat both teams by the identical score...78-36
The probable #1 pick in the NBA draft in June this year is Andrew Wiggins of Kansas, who is an alum of Huntington Prep.....and is also from Canada....a nice little perk of being a Prep School.
Oak Hill Academy (VA).... Probably the most well known of the Prep Schools, and also the one with the deepest tradition. Opened in the 1980-81 season, and continuing on to this day, Oak Hill has been the gold standard of success that all Prep Schools dream about. They have a "Who's who" of players that have played in the NBA, including Carmelo Anthony, Rajon Rondo, Brandon Jennings, and Ty Lawson. Oak Hill is actually a co-ed school, with an enrollment of about 150 kids. Granted about 50 of them are great basketball players, so it is actually more of a basketball factory than an institution of higher learning.
How are they doing this year? With a roster of kids from all over the country, Oak Hill currently sits at 25-2, with another 10-15 games remaining on the schedule. Oh yeah, another perk of a Prep School? Unlimited scheduling of games. They are not bound by state rules on number of games played. Five of Oak Hill's seniors have signed with Division I colleges. The most well known of this kids is B.J. Stith, the son of former NBA player Bryant Stith.
But the winner of the Basketball Factory masquerading as a high school team goes to:
Findlay Prep (NV).... The Pilots of Findlay Prep, for the last few seasons, have always been one of the Top 5 high school teams in the country. Since 2007, Findlay Prep has compiled a record of 189-13. In their case, the term "high school team" doesn't really apply. Yes, they have players of high school age on their team. Yes, they play a competitive schedule against the best of the best each year, and yes, they travel around the country to play that schedule. So, what makes Findlay Prep different from Huntington Prep and Oak Hill Academy? It would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad.
Enrollment at Findlay Prep.....11....yes, 11. The basketball team. Among the 11 team members, only 5 of them are from the United States. The others are from Canada and Nigeria. They also all happen to have size, including a 6'9" freshman.
Think that is bad, just wait. It gets much worse.
The full name of the school is Findlay Prep of the Henderson International School. So on the surface, it seems no different that Huntington Prep being a part of St. Joseph Central Catholic does it?
Not so fast
The Henderson International School only accepts students in grades K-8. So where does that leave Findlay Prep? Do they have a "school" that they go to?
No, they don't. They don't physically go to school
Findlay Prep has no campus, and no real school. The players ARE taught by teachers at Henderson International School at their home. Yes, I said home, not homes. That is because all live together. All eleven of them. Not in dorm mind you, but in a half million dollar house less than a mile from the gym.
Sick to your stomach yet?....One more thing:
Findlay Prep is sponsored by Nike. All Nike gear all the time. One of Findlay Prep's best players this year, Craig Victor II, has signed to play at Arizona. You guessed it, Arizona has a shoe contract with Nike. So, under the guise of being a high school, the basketball factory has produced what it was set out to do. All 100 players that have played at Findlay Prep have received Division I basketball scholarships, including Anthony Bennett, the number one pick in the NBA Draft last season by the Cavaliers. Therefore, they can brag that they have a 100 percent graduation rate.
That HAS to make your stomach turn.
So, here is how the process works.... Your son shows some great talent in basketball, and as a parent, you want your child to improve and play against better competition. You feel that playing AAU basketball will get your kid where he needs to be. Starting in fifth grade, he starts playing AAU so he can get exposure as a player. By the seventh and eighth grades, he is one of the better players in his age group. By that time, high school coaches are in contact with you about attending their high school. Since your son has played all over the country, the schools contacting you come from all over the country. Do you listen? Should your son play for his high school team and with all his friends? Maybe by that time, the shoe companies may be supplying gear to the AAU team. Do you follow the shoe company to the high school of their choosing?
By attending one these "Basketball Factories" are you sacrificing a part of your son's future by putting athletics ahead of education? What if your son doesn't "make it" to the NBA after his freshman year of college? Speaking of college, how much pressure would be put on you and your son about what college to attend, especially if a specific shoe company has been supplying the high school team he plays on?
It's the dirty business that is high school recruiting now a days
Kind of makes the whole Public v.s. Private argument seem a little petty, now doesn't it?

The peacenik look winks at our current political climate—and all it takes are some flared jeans, a peasant top or tie-dyed t-shirt, and flower-power makeup.
1: Use a colored eyeliner to draw a peace sign, flower, or heart on your cheek.
2: Keep lids bare for the crunchy no-makeup appearance—but still swipe on tons of mascara for a doe-eyed look.
3: "Peachy nude lips are very late '60s," says Ciucci. "Young women were breaking out and leaving their mom's red lipstick behind." Try Ciucci's favorite: M.A.C.'s Peachstock.
EXTRAS: Reuse that tackle-box Miley Cyrus feather you bought this spring or try a funky headband or bandana worn across your forehead. Your hair itself can be any texture, but for authenticity's sake, it shouldn't be overworked—keep it natural.

Spring 2014/Menlo Park
OT500: WRITING AS INTRODUCTION TO THE OLD TESTAMENT (4 Units). Brad Kelle.
DESCRIPTION: This course offers an inductive introduction to the Old Testament through the lens of its latest canonical portion, the Writings. Close attention will be given to the Psalms, the Wisdom literature (Job, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes), the Festival books (Ruth, Song of Songs, Lamentations, and Esther), and the historical books of Chronicles, Ezra, and Nehemiah and discussions will center on the content, interpretive issues, and theological perspectives of these books. From these varied works, examples of literary, historical, and theological connections will be traced to the rest of the canon, "the Law and the Prophets."
LEARNING OUTCOMES: Students who successfully complete the course will have shown that they (1) have grasped the outline of Israel's history as portrayed in Old and New Testaments and in light of modern study; (2) understand the nature and process of the Old Testament's composition, especially as illustrated by the books in the Writings; (3) understand the nature of worship, prayer, and wisdom as illustrated by the Writings and its relationship with ancient Near Eastern equivalents; (4) know how to interpret Old Testament narrative, as illustrated by the Writings; (5) have looked at aspects of the Writings from angles other than those of the male, white, Western world; (6) have reflected on the significance of the Writings for Christian theology, mission, and discipleship; (7) understand the theological perspectives of the books of the Writings and the ways in which those perspectives intersect with one another and inform the contemporary life of faith.
COURSE FORMAT: This course meets on four Saturdays, for a total of 30 hours of class time, plus weekly online engagement using Moodle. The format will include a combination of lecture, discussion, small group/collaborative and online work. A final "post-class" assignment, as well as collaborative work with other students, extends the course's learning beyond the four meeting times.
