Kylie categorically did NOT mime during her performance on the Logie awards show - according to the star herself.
At least that's what the I Should Be So Lucky singer has insisted following a wave of criticism on Twitter.
The former Voice coach had taken to the stage to perform her new single I Was Gonna Cancel, clutching a microphone and looking great in a white shirt with tan belt and white heels.
The appearance was hyped as a world exclusive of Kylie's new single, and her first performance on the Australian music show in 25 years.
But fans were underwhelmed and expressed their feelings on Twitter. Some suggested that Kylie's microphone wasn't even switched on.
Hahaha we can't here what you've got to say after your performance Kylie cos your mic was off the whole time! #Logies #LipSincCity— Dale and Sophie (@DaleandSophie) April 27, 2014
Other fans rushed to her defence, wondering why she hadn't chosen to sing live.
However, a spokesperson for Channel Nine still claimed that Kylie's performance was "a highlight of the event this year."
AWKWARD! Kylie says Thank YOU into the microphone, & not a word is heard. But hang on, she was just singing on that mike! #Mime #logies2014— Dame P FitzSimons (@Peter_Fitz) April 27, 2014
And now Kylie's management have hit back and released a statement defending the singer.
"The performance was live," the statement insisted. "Kylie has backing vocalists to the side of the stage."
The appearance follows a recent admission that Kylie is thinking about returning to acting.
Here's Kylie's controversial performance. What do you think, was she miming?

UPDATE Friday 7/21/2016 10:00 AM
The City of Luna Pier was just informed by the Monroe County Health Department, the test results for the water are still high and the water advisory is still in effect. The MCHD will test the water again Tuesday 08/2/16. The results will be back Thursday 8/4/2016. The city itself has no control of the water in the lake.
The City of Luna Pier is committed to ensuring that no one is excluded from participation in, or denied the benefits of its services on the basis of race, color or national origin as protected by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended.

Or submit through email to email@example.com
Being part of Monroe County, The City of Luna Pier is poised for economic development opportunities with our location on I-75. Click logo for information on commercial development in this area.
The City of Luna Pier Master Plan, adopted in 2010,
continues to be the guiding document for past and future developments for the
City of Luna Pier. The Master Plan, adopted in 2010, centers around
the transformation of the City both before and after the closing of the J.R
Whiting Power Generating Facility which will occur in April 2016.
To compensate for this drastic reduction in the tax base of the City, City
Leaders have had to make plans to transform the City to a placemaking community
in order to attract developers and visitors to invest in the City and to create
a place that visitors and future visitors will return over and over and
participate in the economic revival of the City.
The first project that resulted from the Master Plan was the
construction of the Luna Pier Light House Project built in 2012-2013 with a
grant from the State of Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund in the amount of
$460,000. The second project to be completed was the improvements
to Lakewood Avenue that included the reconstruction of Lakewood
Avenue with funding from MDOT's Major Street funding.
The next project is the projected renovation of Luna Pier
Road from Harold Drive East to the Lighthouse with funding from Michigan
Department of Transportation's Transportation Alternative Program for
streetscape renovations and upgrades and a complete resurfacing of Luna Pier
Road with funding from the City's Major Street Fund. The City will be required
to match up to $130,000 from local funds for the streetscape
These projects will be the impetus for future commercial
investment in the City in order to add to the tax base and increase revenue to
the City. These revenue increases will be used to restore services that
had to be reduced or eliminated because of the massive reduction the City's tax
base as a result of the closure of the J.R. Whiting Plant.
Without the vision of the Master Planning that was
done in 2009-2010 these projects may not have been possible. With
the plan in place the City becomes eligible for outside funding that may not
have been available to them otherwise.
See the City of Luna Pier's new Master Plan Slide Show!

By Story by, Staff Sgt. John H. Johnson III, 94th Army Air and Missile Defense Command Public Affairs April 24, 2013
Fort Shafter Flats, Hawaii-- Self-touted as one of the safest units in the Army, the 94th Army Air and Missile Defense Command successfully completed its quarterly motorcycle mentorship ride, April 18, 2013.
Master Sgt. Joshua Quinton, Senior Mentorship Rider, 94th AAMDC said, "Before we took off, we did important training on motorcycle personal protective equipment (PPE), motorcycle required training, tires, controls, lights, oil, chassis, stands (T-Clocks) and a little bit of training on group riding with all levels of experienced riders."
The ride took about 30 minutes to go from the start point at Fort Shafter Flats to Kuuloa Ranch and another 30 minutes to ride back to the post.
Quinton added, "After we got to the ranch, we sat down to eat and talk about the ride, bringing experienced riders in with a couple of the novice riders to help build camaraderie amongst all of us."
The 94th Army Air and Missile Defense Command and the Pacific Air Forces Command work together on many military situations, but this marks the first time that an Airman from the Headquarters Air Force A7 Directorate has worked together to maintain a relationship with motorcycle safety.
Tech. Sgt. Shawn Nichols, Motorcycle Safety Representative, Headquarters Air Force A7 Directorate said, "It's good to come and ride with the Army folks; I am good friends with Master Sgt. Quinton, and I thought that this would be a good opportunity to eventually get the Air Force and Army to ride together to communicate on motorcycle safety."
The two motorcycle safety coordinators plan to work together on future motorcycle rides.
Nichols explained, "This was sort of like a pre-ride to try to get to know the other people and see if this would be something that they would like to be interested in doing later on."
The importance of continuous training on motorcycle safety is key to the prevention of the loss of Soldiers and Airmen and the ability of their units to deploy. Preventable accidents damage our military's readiness, which requires valuable resources to recover from.
Nichols passionately explains, "Everyone who gets a motorcycle should take the time to learn how to ride safely instead of getting on a bike and just taking off and seek others who already have experience and watch out for each other."
The Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) offers free courses to riders at Schofield Barracks, Hickam Air Force Base and Marine Corps Base Kaneohe Bay. If you are interested in motorcycle riding, you can sign up online at https://apps.imcom.army.mil/AIRS for any Army installation MSF course.

Disney to Reboot "The Rocketeer" With Black Female Lead
It's a Tom Twitter Twofer today! Perhaps unsurprisingly, Marvel Executive Editor and Twitter king Tom Brevoort took to tweeting on the topic of Marvel's offer to exchange unsold copies of the Blackest Night tie-ins that were part of DC's successful power-ring promotion for a rare Deadpool-themed variant-cover version of Siege #3. His opening statement:
I see there's a lot of chatter about our SIEGE #3 offer, so I have to ask the question: how is this bad? We're making no money on the deal (actually losing a little) but it will put some more much-needed cash in retailers' pockets, And if your retailer doesn't have these books in stock, excellent! Good on them, they ordered appropriate to their customer base. But while no retailer wants to hurt their relationship with DC, we've been hearing from lots of them that they're happy we're offering this. As for the stripping, that's all about making it cheaper for these guys to send the books back. But we'll take complete copies too. And sure, send the stripped insides to the troops–well done, you! They tend not to keep comics mint on the battlefield in the first place. And while we listed the titles we'd be taking–all of the "ring" books– we never mentioned either DC or Blackest Night at all. Not a knock. And if DC wants to make their own offer, let 'em! That's cool too, if it frees up deadlocked capital for retailers to order new stuff.
Gentle Reader, in the afterglow of the fallen year that lies some days past behind us, and the all new, all different decade we have taken our first few steps with, isn't it appropriate that Marvel has escorted us into 2010 with an Event book and her banner book spawn? This is it, it's a new year preparing for a new way of looking at the Marvel Universe, the branding of what's to come as the Heroic Age, an epic tale that's been (*gulp*) seven years in the making. All of the last decade? Tiddly-winks to what's coming up next.
It's incomparable, inconceivable that you could read the first issue of this mega event and know what is to come. The first piece of the puzzle isn't going to tell you what the picture's looks like, even if it's a corner piece. So what do we do, friends? Do we read Siege #1 and give it a value judgment, based on what we know and have heard? Or do we sit back, bag it up, place the issue into the long or short box and wait for #2 the way hard men swallow their emotions only to find themselves teary-eyed at a championship sports event?
Or do we compare it to Star Trek?
(WARNING: … actually no spoilers for Siege below, but some for first season TNG's Encounter at Farpoint. Awkward. If you hate Star Trek, you'd probably want to turn back now.)
It may have taken a couple of weeks, but the Chicago news media have finally detected the coming destruction of 85-year-old Soldier Field in Marvel's Siege #1.
The landmark's explosive fate was revealed Dec. 3 in a preview sequence reminiscent of the razing in 2006 of Stamford, Connecticut — the Marvel Universe version, in any case — used as a trigger for Civil War.
"I'm not the biggest sports guy and I meant no disrespect to sports fans," writer Brian Michael Bendis tells the Chicago Sun-Times, "but we needed something so horrendous to happen for [Marvel's superheroes] to be united again. Hopefully, this will ring in a new day for Marvel readers."
Chicagoans don't appear particularly alarmed by the development. In fact, they'd be okay with a little more devastation.
"Marvel people," one commenter writes in the comments section of the Sun-Times article, "Next time, please fill the stadium with Illinois politicians before you blow it up." Says another: "In the next issue they should blow up Wrigley Field."
Siege #1 debuts on Jan. 6.
Thank heaven for Marvel's delightfully candid Executive Editor Tom Brevoort. On slow news days like this frigid December Friday, what would we comics bloggers do without him? Brevoort once again took to his Twitter account yesterday to call 'em like he sees 'em about DC's week-long wave of big, news-dominating announcements:
Nice to see DC showing some signs of life with all of their announcements. Competition is the lifeblood of the industry. Like any other pundit, I have opinions on what they're doing, but it's nice to see them trying stuff. Blackest Night won't go on forever. And, honestly, it's not much of a win if the other team doesn't show up for the game, or sleepwalks through it. I'll happily put our best efforts up against anybody else's, win, lose or draw. And feel confident in a win most of the time. Also: Superman appearing in Superman comics? Genius!
He later responded to a request for comment on Batman: R.I.P. and subsequent storylines with the following:
Okay, we should all have this particular saying down pat by now: it's "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." Basically, if I tell you an issue is going to be 48 pages of all new content for $4.99 and then you get the issue and it's like half that plus a reprint of an issue I didn't want? That's a bad thing to do and I should feel bad. But if I tell you that I have another 48-page issue of all new content for $4.99 and I again farm out half those pages for a reprint or ads or a bunch of encyclopedia biographies? Then you're the one who should be reading solicitations more carefully and not buying the issue when it comes out.
Hits a little too close to home? I'm sorry; that's bad and I do indeed feel bad.
Anyhoo, Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. Get smarter, says the credo. Don't fall for the same trick twice.
Hey everybody! Siege: the Cabal came out yesterday! Let's go take a look inside, shall we?
(WARNING: Spoilers for Siege: the Cabal, the first six-pages of Siege #1 and Dark Avengers Annual #1 reside below. Yep, it's a doozy this week, folks.)

Life in the Event Age has been tumultuous for superhero fans. Ever since Infinite Crisis and Civil War cemented a storytelling mode that had begun showing sparks of life during such proto-events as Avengers Disassembled, House of M, Identity Crisis and the pre-Infinite Crisis minis, the Big Two have been dominated by massive meta-stories that tie in, spin off, and otherwise control the direction of nearly every title in their respective lines.
On the one hand, sales levels have been tough to argue with, interest in the characters at the heart of the events has spiked (cf. the Avengers, Green Lantern), and fan-favorite writers from Brian Bendis and Mark Millar to Geoff Johns and Grant Morrison have had the opportunity to make their mark on their respective universes in a nearly unprecedented way. On the other hand, critical reaction has been mixed, reader complaints about the need to follow multiple books to make sense of a single storyline have been abundant, and one assumes individual creators have chafed under the need to tell stories dictated from the top down — a trio of factors leading to a sense of dissatisfaction with this method of superhero storytelling commonly referred to as "event fatigue." As the era of the event nears its sixth birthday and the concept of "event fatigue" gains traction in the fan community, what does the future hold?
"Well, I've proved that talking smack on Twitter gets you press," tweeted Marvel Executive Editor Tom Brevoort on Friday. And indeed, Brevoort's Twitter account and blog have proven so juicy of late — witness his wager on whether Marvel's upcoming Siege event will wrap up before DC Comics' current Blackest Night crossover — that I'm thinking about awarding him an honorary Robot 6 membership.
Brevoort was in unusually fine form Friday night, though, even by his own standard of dishing (and taking) criticism. In a series of tweets regarding DC's capture of the top six sales slots for October, Brevoort wrote:
I hear tell that folks up at the DC offices have been feeling pretty cocky this past week or so. To which I say … first off, good for them for having a good month. But also, don't confuse having the top six books with winning the month. We still took both dollars and units. And too, that was in a month where a few of our big books slipped out of the month. I don't think we have to worry at all about January, for instance, where SIEGE #1 is up against a BLACKEST NIGHT skip month. Cold Jan [for] DC. By that same token, enjoy the moment–because all of those books that missed [October] are in the November numbers.
In addition, Brevoort replied to a variety of reader responses to his trash-talk tweets, including an enthusiastic endorsement from Rob Liefeld.
And oh, yeah, he kicked it all off by teasing three major deaths in Siege, "at least one of whom will surprise you." I'd encourage you to follow his Twitter feed yourselves, but as the middleman, I can't very well endorse cutting myself out, can I?
They say nice guys finish last, but when event comics will finish is anybody's guess. The demands of a high-profile series around which entire shared universes revolve can play havoc with scheduling. Naturally, editors and publishers love to maintain the artistic quality and consistency (and sales levels) provided by the big-name writer-artist teams that tend to lend such books a sense of "this is a big deal." On the other hand, they need to get books out on time so that other series whose storylines depend upon what happens in the event can proceed as planned — and so that they don't end up alienating retailers and readers. But these same readers and retailers can end up just as irritated if they get the sense that the creators are being rushed, or if fill-in artists aren't up to snuff. It's a tough row to hoe.
With his front-row seat for a variety of events this decade, including Avengers Disassembled, House of M, Civil War, and Secret Invasion, Marvel Executive Editor Tom Brevoort knows this better than anyone. So it was with an obvious mix of boldness and trepidation that he made the following prediction on his Twitter account:
It's height of hubris time: I'm willing to bet that SIEGE will wrap up before BLACKEST NIGHT does.
Very busy writer Brian Michael Bendis became an even busier writer this weekend. With little fanfare — it "happened by accident" — Bendis spent over an hour on Saturday answering reader questions via his Twitter account.
The 125-message micro-interview cost him some followers, irritated Warren Ellis (not really), and was eventually cut off by Twitter, but by the time all was said and done some interesting info had hit the Internet courtesy of his tweets.
First up, Bendis spilled the beans on a trio of upcoming projects with familiar collaborators:
* Bendis and his Daredevil: Wake Up partner David Mack will reunite for a new Hornhead project, Daredevil: End of Days, next summer. The project was first announced in February 2007, with Bendis and Mack as co-writers and art from Alex Maleev, Bill Sienkewicz, and Klaus Janson. (Daredevil will also appear in New Avengers #60.)
* "If the stars allow," Bendis and artist Michael Gaydos will reunite for a new Alias miniseries next year. It could be a MAX series "if the content needs it.
* Look for a creator-owned crime project from Bendis and his Daredevil and Spider-Woman collaborator Alex Maleev next summer.
It's like looking back and seeing the tide recede. You turn and think, 'Wow, that's a lot of water back there, all going backwards… I wonder what's going to come next?'
We have three major plotlines coming to fruition or at least the first blossom of a long road ahead: the Siege, Fall of Hulks (wait, wasn't this War of Hulks?), and the start of the new era of Captain America. No one is surprised that Steve Rogers is back in the old costume, but what he does next will have to rock the foundations of the Marvel Universe as did his passing. 2010 will one of those years we'll look back on as a point of interest on the Marvel superhighway, but for now, we can plan our trip along it's crazy, windy route and hope for a next rest stop along the way.
It's amazing what you can find on YouTube these days … according to the person who posted it, it is "Marvel's Secret trailer that was shown to us at the Diamond Retailer Summit in Baltimore tonight." Not sure how long this will be up or if it's supposed to be out there yet, so check it out while you can:
Read more about Siege over on the main CBR site.
In an extensive interview with Attack of the Show's Blair Butler, Avengers writer Brian Michael Bendis confirms that Marvel's "Dark Reign" storyline will come to an end with a "big Marvel event" called Siege. It starts in December with a one-shot called Siege: The Cabal, which is followed in January by a four-issue Siege series.
Michael Lark will draw the Cabal one-shot, while Olivier Coipel will draw Siege. Both are written by Bendis. He says the storyline will bring a "seismic shift" in the Avengers titles on the level of what happened in Avengers: Disassembled and will reunite Thor, Iron Man and Captain America.
Siege was just one of several subjects Butler asked Bendis about; he also talked about Powers, various Marvel films, Fortune & Glory's 10th anniversary edition and much more. Check out the second part of the interview below (he talks about Siege at the very end) and go here to find the first half.
Also be sure to check out Dave Richards' interview with Bendis on Dark Avengers over on the main CBR site.

Shea Megale is just 12 years old. But she's set to release her second book, about a character named Mercer who has lots of adventures.
"'Woo hoo,' Mercer yelled, with his ears flapping in the wind…" Shea reads from the book.
Shea travels with her mother, who helps her write the books, and a service dog, CBS News correspondent Richard Schlesinger reports.
The fact that she travels at all is remarkable, because she suffers from Spinal Muscular Atrophy - a paralyzing disease.
"I was born with this disease. And, you know, I just grew up with it, grew up accepting it, and I moved on," she explains.
Her first book began as a few entries in her diary, discovered by her mother - sketches of Mercer ice skating … by a little girl who never would.
"And so … you think that Mercer is really sort of her, in her imagination?" Schlesinger asks.
"Yeah, I do," Megan Megale, Shea's mother, said. "And I think he's an outlet for her, too."
But Mercer is not just an imaginary friend. He's very real.
And Schlesinger met Mercer, the real dog.
He's a four-legged metaphor for a life lived in a little girl's mind. He goes everywhere with her, helping her with everyday chores and inspiring her fantasies.
"Why did you choose Mercer to be the star of your books?" Schlesinger asks.
"Well, I thought he was the star of my life. So I thought why not the book? He's really amazing and he can, he's my best buddy and he deserved it I thought," Shea says.
It's her escape from the reality of her disease, which doctors say will probably kill her by her late teens.
At 12 years old, she's already too weak to move very much.
But she is moving others.
Her book has been picked up by FAO Schwartz and Amazon. And more books are in the planning stage. Mercer will go swimming and sledding and all sorts of other things … things that Shea knows she'll never do.
But she says it doesn't make her sad.
"No, it doesn't 'cause, you know ... I'm sure there's stuff you can't do, am I right?" Shea says.
"It gives her a whole new identity of, you know what, instead of this is what it is and I've gotta find a way to live my life to showing people this is how you live life," Megan Megale says.
But Mercer makes all things possible for Shea. He's her muse, her hero, a central character in both her lives … real and imaginary.

text: 000 FXUS63 KDMX 201750 AFDDMX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Des Moines IA 1250 PM CDT Wed Jul 20 2016 .SHORT TERM.../Today/ Issued at 405 AM CDT Wed Jul 20 2016 Hot and humid conditions and thunderstorms chances were the main focus for today. Some ACCAS developing over eastern Iowa and looks to spread further west into the eastern part of the CWA and isolated storms may trickle into this are through 12-15z. Further west, a weak shortwave has spawned some isolated storms in east- central Iowa and the current trajectory looks to be place these storms across the north later this morning, if they hold together. The 20.07z HRRR fizzles out these storms, but does depict a broad area of convection developing over northwest Iowa between 09-13z. However, this maybe too early and have delayed pops across the north a couple hours until after 11z over the far north. The 20.00z ECMWF and GFS have convection developing later this morning into the afternoon across the far north and east, which are in decent agreement with the hires models such as the HRRR. Regardless, low confidence with widespread convection, thus heavy rain potential, and cancelled the Flash Flood Watch over the northeast. The cloud debris may stick around long enough to hold temperatures in check for much of the day over the north to northeast, but dew points remain high enough to place heat index values to 100-105 this afternoon. Tweaked up dew points a degree or two across the area, especially in locations where recent heavy rain fell. Therefore, upgraded to heat warning for the entire forecast area. .LONG TERM.../Tonight through Tuesday/ Issued at 405 AM CDT Wed Jul 20 2016 Main issue over the next few days will be the heat and subsequently temperatures and dewpoints. Thermal ridge to build into the central US today and begin to push into Iowa, with the main dome of hot air moving over Iowa on Thursday. H85 temps warm into the mid to upper 20s Celsius with moisture increasing aloft as well. With the heavy rain that has fallen across the state in the past few days, evapotranspiration in full swing and low level flow meandering its way off the gulf, boundary layer moisture to be quite high. This should keep dewpoints into the mid to upper 70s in most sites through the end of the week. Expect high temps in the mid 90s for Thursday and overnight lows in the mid to upper 70s, which still creates heat index values of around 110 for Thursday afternoon given the high dewpoints. Therefore will continue with the heat warning for Thursday. Situation becomes a bit more muddied into Friday with a weak cold front dropping further south a bit faster into Friday into Friday night. Therefore could see some convection develop on the nose of the LLJ Thursday night and potentially fester into Friday. Additionally development possible Friday night into early Saturday. Have decided to upgrade the watch to a warning for headline simplicity and the fact that the heat and humidity will be such a long duration. Some changes may be needed to the placement toward Friday and Saturday given the chances for the storms. Dry weather to return mainly Sunday into Monday, with more seasonal temperatures expected. A larger upper level trough to then push through the central US toward the middle of next week which will allow the region to return to a more active pattern again. && .AVIATION.../For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon/ Issued at 1249 PM CDT Wed Jul 20 2016 Clouds and local MVFR may occur in vicinity of KALO/KMCW this afternoon otherwise VFR conditions will prevail today. Winds will become breezy this afternoon from the south/southwest. The wind will diminish tonight before becoming breezy again on Thursday. && .DMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

An Introduction to the GIMP Tool Kit
The GIMP tool kit gtk+ is the GUI libraries written for use in the GIMP as an alternative to Motif. (See the GIMP series of articles by Michael Hammel in the November to January issues of LJ.) Although gtk+ was created for the GIMP, it can be used for any GUI application. In fact, recently the gtk+ distribution has been split out from the GIMP distribution in anticipation of the 1.0 release.
Like all GUI tool kits, gtk+ provides a variety of GUI components, a.k.a. widgets. One thing that sets gtk+ apart from tool kits such as Motif is the breadth of the widgets provided. Naturally, all tool kits provide some form of a button widget. gtk+ also provides components such as tabbed notebooks and fully functional color pickers not included in the core widgets of other tools kits. Screen shots are provided in Figures 1 and 2 as examples of the appearance of gtk+ widgets.
Another advantage of gtk+ is that it's not limited to a single language. Even though gtk+ is written in C and was originally intended for use from C, there are bindings to many other languages. Just a few of them are C++, Objective C, Python, Scheme, Perl—the list goes on and on with new additions frequently. Chances are someone has already started on bindings for your favorite language.
Best of all, gtk+ is under the Library GNU Public License (LGPL), so there are absolutely no licensing concerns when writing software.
The GIMP tool kit is made up of three different layers. Each layer has its own distinct functionality and depends on the layers below it. The three layers are:
glib: This is a support library that is of general usefulness in many C programs, even non-GUI applications. Most of its utilities are common data structures, such as linked lists (GList), and convenience functions, to ease porting between Unices, e.g., wrappers around malloc and free (gmalloc and gfree).
gdk: This library is basically a thin layer over Xlib and some of Xt to handle the basics of drawing on the X display and handling X events. Having this library means that applications writers never have to see the underlying X libraries to get work done. This library also contains several useful functions for things like handling timers, polling file descriptors and more.
gtk: This library is the meat of gtk+, where all the GUI elements are defined. This library relies heavily on gdk and glib to do its job.
For someone with experience in C programming, gtk+ should be fairly easy to pick up. The internals of gtk+ use some advanced C features like function pointers and some tricks with structs, but application writers should never need to worry about the internals of gtk+. Naturally, any experience with other GUI tool kits (especially Motif) will make learning gtk+ easier.
For a long time the only documentation of gtk+ was the source code, and the sample application, the GIMP. Fortunately, the gtk+ tutorial at http://levien.com/slow/gtk/ has filled that void.
However, gtk+ is a moving target (still being developed) so be wary. If there's any doubt about the validity of some documentation, always double check it against the source code. And, as always, nothing can beat actually writing code to test an option out.
There is also a mailing list dedicated to discussing gtk+. To subscribe, send mail to email@example.com with a subject of "subscribe email-address", replacing email-address with your e-mail address.
When learning about gtk+, remember that it is still under development, but it is certainly usable for non-trivial applications, the GIMP, for example. There are still plenty of minor bugs and even a few major ones you'll have to work around. For example, at the time of this writing, the text widget still needed a lot of work. But in the two months or more before anyone will read this article in print a lot can happen. The best place to check on the current status of the gtk+ libraries and to get the source is at http://www.gimp.org/gtk/.
Otto is a developer at Red Hat Software who is currently very busy with the next release of Red Hat Linux. He can be contacted by e-mail at email@example.com.

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

This is an average hotel. Clean. Rooms were adequate. Service at the front desk was very good. What made this hotel was the excellent location -- an easy 15 minute walk to Disneyland and California Adventure with no major roads to cross. Close enough that if you are overwhelmed you can go rest at your quiet hotel. There is also a hotel shuttle, which I believe is every half hour. We never used it because the walk is so easy. Breakfast in the morning is a good continental with hard boiled eggs, bananas, pastries, yogurt, a cereal bar and pretty good coffee.

School of Business International EducationThe international programs offered by the BCIT School of Business help domestic and foreign students and faculty gain a global perspective by incorporating first-hand knowledge of the larger world. They gain specific knowledge of the economy, culture, government, and everyday life of the country where they study or teach.
Globalization is key in today's business world. Tomorrow's leaders will be expected to speak multiple languages, work in foreign countries, and bridge cultural differences to achieve social, economic, and political objectives.

~ Tetyana on exchange in Barcelona, Spain
"The knowledge and exposure to the world that I've gained in the BCIT summer study tour was truly a life changing experience. The immersive and intense nature of the program allowed me to see a large cross section of people, cultures and nations."
~ Spencer on the Italy & Austria Field School

Is there a browser plugin or method to find which php template an item is coming from?
The Debug Bar together with the Debug-Bar-Extender will show you what template file is being used.
You could just add an HTML comment into each template file and then view source to see where the content you are trying to track down it is coming from.
the method I've been using is to find the item - such as a page title or whatever by using firebug extension for firefox. This will usually result in finding the related css class or id name for that item/element.
Then in dreamweaver I use the search function to find that class name from all of the files in the wordpress wp-content folder. Not sure of other programs like dreamweaver that have this search function but surely they exist.
I just wish there was a browser add on that would do for the php files what firebug does for css & html
The Query Monitor plugin is a very powerful tool for doing this. It shows the template and the queries and hooks the page generates; plus their load order, priority and whether it's core, parent theme, child theme or plugin. Very handle to have in your toolbox!

Who knew?
Apparently not Thursday Styles, the weekly torture to the intelligent that the New York Times produces. They have a *STARTLING* report on adolescents being angry, in a (not) new way: writing down all the names of the people they hate on a piece of paper, or *NOW* on the internet!

Islam in Belarus
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2008) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Islam in Belarus has a long history. It was introduced into the lands which now constitute Belarus by Lipka Tatars in the 14th -16th centuries. Today, there are 45,000 Muslims in Belarus representing 0.5% of the total population.[1]
Modern times[edit]
In 1994, the First All-Belarusian Congress of Muslims was held. As a result, the Muslim Religious Community of the Republic of Belarus was founded. Ever since it has been headed by Dr. Ismail Aleksandrovich.
In 1997 there were 23 communities including 19 of those in the Western regions of Belarus.
Belarus is the only country in Europe to have jailed a newspaper editor for publishing the Danish cartoons of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad. On January 18, 2008, Alexander Sdvizhkov was jailed for three years for 'incitement of religious hatred'.[2]

Maybe It Wasn't Just Greece
In the span of a few minutes this afternoon, the Dow lost nearly 1000 points, then gained most of it back. There were lots of reports saying that fears about Greece triggered the sell-off.
But mistakes by traders or glitches in computerized trading systems may have played a role as well.
The WSJ reports that a trader may have accidentally placed an order to sell $16 billion in futures tied to stock indexes, when he meant to place the order for $16 million.
And there were "a number of erroneous trades" during the minutes when the market was plunging, a spokesman for the company that owns the New York Stock Exchange told Bloomberg.
The FT's Alphaville blog points out that Procter & Gamble shares fell by more than 20 percent — about three times as much as the Dow — before regaining almost all of the ground it lost, and says the decline may have been related to a "technical screw up." And Barron's notes that shares in Accenture — which opened and closed the day above $41 per share — traded for one cent per share at one point today.
Here's a chart that shows Procter & Gamble (in blue) compared to the Dow (in red) this afternoon:

Ahmed Mohammed al-Maqqari
Abu-l-'Abbas Ahmad ibn Mohammed al-Maqqari (or Al-Makkari) (c. 1578–1632) was a historian born in Tlemcen, then disputed between Morocco and the Ottoman Empire.
After an early training in Tlemcen, al-Maqqari moved to Fes in Morocco and then to Marrakech, following the court of Ahmad al-Mansur, to whom he dedicated his Rawdat al-As (The garden of Myrtle) about the ulemas of Marrakech and Fes. After al- Mansur's death in 1603, al-Maqqari established himself in Fes, where he was appointed both as mufti and as the imam of the Qarawiyyin mosque by al-Mansour's successor Zidan Abu Maali in 1618, but he had to leave Fes in that same year, probably because of the civil war between the Saadian sultans. He then made the pilgrimage to Mecca.
In the following year he settled in Cairo. In 1620 he visited Jerusalem and Damascus, and during the next six years made the pilgrimage five times. In 1628 he was again in Damascus, where he gave a course of lectures on Bukhari's collection of Traditions, spoke much of the glories of Muslim Iberia, and received the impulse to write his work on this subject later. In the same year he returned to Cairo, where he spent a year in writing his history. He was just making preparations to settle definitely in Damascus when he died.
His greatest work, The Breath of Perfume from the Branch of Green Andalusia and Memorials of its Vizier Lisan ud-Din ibn ul-Khattib, consists of two parts. The first is a compilation from many authors on the description and history of Muslim Iberia; it was published by William Wright, Christoph Krehl, Reinhart Dozy and Gustave Dugat as Analectes sur l'histoire et la littérature des Arabes d'Espagne (1855–1861),[1] and in an abridged English translation by Pascual de Gayangos (1840–1843). The second part is a biography of Ibn al-Khatib. The whole work has been published at Bulaq (1863), Cairo (1885) and Beirut (1968).

Gianluigi "Gigi" Buffon, (born 28 January 1978), is an Italian professional goalkeeper who plays for and captains both Serie A club Juventus and the Italian national team. Buffon is the most capped player in the history of the Italian national team with 150 caps. He is widely considered by players, pundits, and managers to be one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time, and by many to be the greatest ever. Buffon is known for his "outstanding shot-stopping" and for being "a vocal organizer of the defence and a key dressing room personality." He is currently the most expensive goalkeeper in history, following his transfer from Parma to Juventus in 2001. Buffon also holds the record for the most clean sheets in Serie A, and with the Italian national team. Wikipedia

"SEMMERING - THE PAST LIVES ON" Top 5 Page for this destination Semmering by mtncorg
Semmering Travel Guide: 82 reviews and 391 photos
Semmering is an old vacation resort favored by the Viennese for years. It is laid out along steep forested slopes at the top of 985m high Semmering Pass. A couple of small ski areas sit atop the pass off a busy road that connects the Wiener flatlands with the canyon of the Mur. Over this pass, the first mountain railroad was completed in 1854. This railway led to the development of a vacation resort for the people of Vienna and the construction of several monolithic hotels. The importance of the construction of the railway - it is a UNESCO Heritage site - and the natural beauty both with which the railway itself was built and the nature through which it passes was reflected in the old 20-schilling paper bill of Austria (pre-Euro) - bascially the same as the picture, with the railway, the cliffs of the Brietenstein and the Rax in the distance.
Semmering once was a very bustling vacation center for the well-to-do and faded pictures show the archdukes and their families at play in Semmering in the late 19th Century. The mountains around the area are pleasant enough to wander in but visitors of old seem to have vanished. The train station is unmanned today. Slopes leading up to the town from the station are steep with hotels strung out along forested slopes. It is a pleasant and restful place to stop, but few come by train anymore. The railway made Semmering, but today the car is unmaking it. A new autobahn will soon tunnel underneath the Semmering Pass, taking the traffic with it.
One very worthwhile thing to do while in Semmering is to wander along the Hochstrasse, past the huge PannHaus hotel which alone among the old mammoths of Semmering continues along. The huge BahnHotel, maybe about 1 km further, sits alone with a huge crane towering above, giving the impression of a future that might yet return to the old hotel. Walking around the hotel you can feel the past; peering inside you can see the old parties that took place.
Another good use of your time is to walk along the Bahnwanderweg. This trail takes you from the train station in Semmering as far as Gloggnitz, but there are intermediate train stations, in between, from which one can hop on a train and return. The trail takes you along through woods and fields, never straying far from the tracks.
A third option from Semmering is to grab a train to nearby Reichenau an der Rax. Here, catch a local bus to the Raxseilbahn - Austria's first cable car dating back to1926. From the top you can walk on the alpine top of the many peaks and dales that make up the Rax - one of the mountains that Viennese consider as the Hausberge.
- Pros:Glorious Past, Beautiful Nature, and some not-so-bad Schnapps!
- Cons:The town has a scent of a Ghost town
- In a nutshell:Wandering along the Bahnwanderweg can take you far away from the Now

excellent page - this is what I love about travelling! great to get off places that are not the usual plus have a lot of historical meaning with stunning landscapes!
Amazing trail and line. Thanks for putting the link to it in your home page.
Great hiking travelogues!
Excellent infos and wonderful pics ! I think, I better stay home next summer and explore my own homecountry...This is just 1 hour to drive to, BUT I have not been there for 30 years :-((
A wonderful page with expressive photos and interesting tips. Very, very beautiful! We wait for new pics. Fam. Rauca
What a fabulous page, Mark ! I visit Semmering regulary, so next time will go up to the Rax mountain too!! Thanks for the infos.
Yes, I HAVE to go to Semmering!
What a beautiful place, Mark! Glad to see even you cheated and that you don't always scale mountain cliffs to reach a vista like this.
Sheep, schnapps, and most - sounds like a perfect getaway to me! I hope those who do still come by train only enjoy this place all the more now that the autobahn is bypassing it.
Thank you for that excellent page ... Semmering is so near of Vienna, but I was not there since years, except for skiing. Wish you a Happy New Year! Ursula
