This article explains 2 simple commands that most people want to know when they start using Linux. They are finding the size of a directory and finding the amount of free disk space that exists on your machine. The command you would use to find the directory size is ' du '. And to find the free disk space you could use ' df '. All the information present in this article is available in the man pages for du and df. In case you get bored reading the man pages and you want to get your work done quickly, then this article is for you. - 'du' - Finding the size of a directory $ du Typing the above at the prompt gives you a list of directories that exist in the current directory along with their sizes. The last line of the output gives you the total size of the current directory including its subdirectories. The size given includes the sizes of the files and the directories that exist in the current directory as well as all of its subdirectories. Note that by default the sizes given are in kilobytes. $ du /home/david The above command would give you the directory size of the directory /home/david $ du -h This command gives you a better output than the default one. The option '-h' stands for human readable format. So the sizes of the files / directories are this time suffixed with a 'k' if its kilobytes and 'M' if its Megabytes and 'G' if its Gigabytes.
$ du -ah This command would display in its output, not only the directories but also all the files that are present in the current directory. Note that 'du' always counts all files and directories while giving the final size in the last line. But the '-a' displays the filenames along with the directory names in the output. '-h' is once again human readable format. $ du -c This gives you a grand total as the last line of the output. So if your directory occupies 30MB the last 2 lines of the output would be 30M . 30M total The first line would be the default last line of the 'du' output indicating the total size of the directory and another line displaying the same size, followed by the string 'total'. This is helpful in case you this command along with the grep command to only display the final total size of a directory as shown below. $ du -ch | grep total This would have only one line in its output that displays the total size of the current directory including all the subdirectories. Note : In case you are not familiar with pipes (which makes the above command possible) refer to Article No. 24 . Also grep is one of the most important commands in Unix. Refer to Article No. 25 to know more about grep. $ du -s This displays a summary of the directory size. It is the simplest way to know the total size of the current directory. $ du -S This would display the size of the current directory excluding the size of the subdirectories that exist within that directory. So it basically shows you the total size of all the files that exist in the current directory. $ du --exculde=mp3 The above command would display the size of the current directory along with all its subdirectories, but it would exclude all the files having the given pattern present in their filenames. Thus in the above case if there happens to be any mp3 files within the current directory or any of its subdirectories, their size would not be included while calculating the total directory size. - 'df' - finding the disk free space / disk usage $ df Typing the above, outputs a table consisting of 6 columns. All the columns are very easy to understand. Remember that the 'Size', 'Used' and 'Avail' columns use kilobytes as the unit. The 'Use%' column shows the usage as a percentage which is also very useful. $ df -h Displays the same output as the previous command but the '-h' indicates human readable format. Hence instead of kilobytes as the unit the output would have 'M' for Megabytes and 'G' for Gigabytes. Most of the users don't use the other parameters that can be passed to 'df'. So I shall not be discussing them. I shall in turn show you an example that I use on my machine. I have actually stored this as a script named 'usage' since I use it often. Example : I have my Linux installed on /dev/hda1 and I have mounted my Windows partitions as well (by default every time Linux boots). So 'df' by default shows me the disk usage of my Linux as well as Windows partitions. And I am only interested in the disk usage of the Linux partitions. This is what I use : $ df -h | grep /dev/hda1 | cut -c 41-43 This command displays the following on my machine 45% Basically this command makes 'df' display the disk usages of all the partitions and then extracts the lines with /dev/hda1 since I am only interested in that. Then it cuts the characters from the 41st to the 43rd column since they are the columns that display the usage in % , which is what I want. Note : In case you are not familiar with pipes (which is used in the above command) then refer to Article No. 24 . 'cut' is another tool available in Unix. The above usage of cut gets the the characters that are present in the specified columns. If you are interested in knowing how to mount you Windows partitions under Linux, please refer to Article No. 3 .
There are a few more options that can be used with 'du' and 'df' . You could find them in the man pages.

Note to Government: Make Love, not war. Note to Teenagers: Make Music, not love. Note to Musicians: Music is not war. Note to Self: There would be no music if lovers never went to war.
I don't want to be a writer anymore. I'm tired of the self-destruction. Is it all to justify the pain, Or to cause it? Once I asked my dad if he thought there was an end to it. He was younger than I am now when I did, And I remember that he said to me, "No. It never does," That back then it brought me such hope.
My TiVO captures a show called "Ghost Hunters." I like this show. People go into dark houses and try to capture shadows and mists with digital equipment, all to prove in playback such things occur.
Inevitably, something happens. Most of the time the results are inconclusive. Once in a while the things are so clear we suspect trickery.
A few episodes ago they captured the voice of Princess Caroline saying, "Yes, I hear you. Who's there?" across the decades, the seemingly impenetrable boundary of life and time.
Then they cut to commercial.
We turned off the TV. We went to Costco. We needed to restock our supplies of dried nuts and unsalted butter.
I remember watching the lights in the sky, standing in the airport parking lot under an afternoon rain in Juneau. A brilliant blue white star pierced the cloud deck. After a few moments, I could see the black shadows behind the glare. The red and green wing tip lights. Then the fuselage as the nose tipped slightly upward and the landing gear extended to grab the asphalt.
The rumbling came as the pilot reversed the engines and the plane rolled past and slowed, reached the taxiway, and pivoted toward the terminal.
I remember I waved, not knowing if they were sitting on the left or the right, or if they were even peering out the windows at Alaska.
What were they thinking, then, my three? My children coming to visit after the divorce. Could they see me? I waved harder. I shouted. The plane docked at the gate.
Both hands above my head.
I'm here.
Everything I still loved in the world sitting in row fourteen. My precious cargo.
Could they still see me?
I remember my friend Bill, standing with me in the cold rain outside a restaurant in Los Gatos, right after I told him my wife of 23 years and I were breaking up.
The accomplished author, university fellow, award winner: he asked me, "Do you think it will make you a better writer?"
It seemed insulting - but Bill didn't have a mean streak. So it had to be something else.
"I'm not getting divorced to have more time to write."
"No, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that."
"Because, right now I don't care if I write another word in my life," I said.
"Of course you don't." He laid a hand on my shoulder. "Let's go inside. I'm getting cold."
When I get to the top of the mountain on my bicycle I make a point to talk to the dead people. I thank them for having been in my life when they were. I do not try to capture their responses digitally. It doesn't matter I bring back "proof", and it doesn't matter that I speak to them on a hilltop or in the restroom at my office.
Because time doesn't matter for them, they may already be captured and speaking through some advanced time/space warping device developed in the year 2221. Maybe then people know life and death are as interchangeable as matter and energy.
Or it's all illusion.
If the dead do speak they tell us that in the afterlife they yearn for the one real thing. It's what they say to the ghost hunters, to the mediums, to the priests and witch doctors.
How ironic. It seems it's what I want most to avoid, but spend the most time trying to produce.
Mornings can be the worst. Waking up requires we reset ourselves. We have to bring back the diurnal cycle after we've been floating in timelessness.
I expect to see my bedroom shadows resolve to timeful reality.
I expect to hear my children arguing about the television channel, or who got the last of the sugary cereal.
Once in a while I accidentally say my wife's name.
That's when the ghosts surround me reminding me matter and energy are interchangeable.
And I never want to write again.
"What's wrong?" asks the blond haired girl.
I say, "Nothing," as I have since I could speak. I say, "Nothing," as a six-year old stealing his father's tools. I say, "Nothing," as a four year old drilling holes in the living room floor. I say, "Nothing," as a teenager dropping Molotov cocktails down a storm drain to create admirable fireballs.
I say, "Nothing," because she is not part of that madness and it is cruel to drag her into it.
I say, "Nothing," because it is my past, not hers. "Nothing," is my decision, from the start. "Nothing," is what I do to my seconds, minutes, and earthy years.
Ask the psychics what they get from the other side.
"Nothing," is sitting at the lawyer, agreeing on everything and him saying he has never seen this before and asking if we are sure.
"Nothing," is the end to that life and the beginning to this.
"Nothing," is how effective some of us are at creating the hurt.
"Nothing," is what the Ghost Hunters record on their memory sticks and infrared video.
Because I am the envy of all the disembodied spirits.
"We have proof," says the lead Ghost Hunter. "Listen. It was dark and nobody was around."
From the ether, clear as a bell.

Congressman Jim Himes released the following statement regarding Prime Minister Gordon Brown's address to the joint session of Congress this morning:
I want to thank Prime Minister Gordon Brown for his uplifting speech to the Joint Session of Congress. At a time when we are bent to the task of addressing the economic turmoil hurting so many Americans, the Prime Minister reminded us that we are "not just the indispensible nation," we are the "irrepressible nation." He reminded us that throughout our history "Americans have led insurrections in the human imagination" and celebrated our "belief that there is no such thing as an impossible endeavor." As we contemplate our challenges, I say thank you Prime Minister, for this shot in the arm.

Bernard Tomic's controversial father and coach has been banned from entering the grounds at Roland Garros and is being denied credentials at all tournaments on the men's tour following a physical confrontation with his son's hitting partner, but the 20-year-old Australian is keeping faith with him. "He's here right now in Paris," Bernard said. "He's still working with me. He's still my Dad. He's still my coach and I love him a lot."
A difficult month for Tomic ended in pain at the French Open when a torn leg muscle forced him to retire from his first-round match when trailing Romania's Victor Hanescu 7-5, 7-6, 2-1. Tomic insisted afterwards that the furore surrounding his father, John, had not affected his preparations, but the former world junior No 1 looked uneasy as he talked in public for the first time following the incident earlier this month which has cast the latest shadow over his roller-coaster career.
John Tomic will appear in court in Spain in the autumn after being accused of head-butting Bernard's hitting partner, Thomas Drouet, during a confrontation before the recent Madrid Masters. Drouet, who suffered a broken nose and other injuries, later claimed that John Tomic – who denied being the aggressor – had also punched his son in the face during a training session in Monte Carlo, where he is based. Drouet has since found a new job as a hitting partner with the French player Marion Bartoli.
The Association of Tennis Professionals has banned Tomic senior from tournaments on the men's tour until further notice, while French Open officials said he would be denied access to Roland Garros even as a paying spectator. The All England Club said that it would not accredit him for Wimbledon next month and would aim to prevent him entering the grounds, even with a ticket.
Some senior figures in Australian tennis had hoped the latest incident might see Bernard Tomic end his professional relationship with his abrasive father, who has had many run-ins with officialdom.
Although Bernard is hoping to recruit someone to join his entourage within the next few weeks, he insisted: "My Dad's still my coach and he always will be. I grew up with him and he knows me better than everyone else. I might bring someone else on board who can help my Dad – not a coach, but someone just to help me a little bit."
Novak Djokovic, who has made this tournament his priority for the year in the hope of completing his set of Grand Slam titles, overcame a potentially tricky first-round match against Belgium's David Goffin, winning 7-6, 6-4, 7-5.
With rain delaying the start of play by two and a half hours, Heather Watson, who was scheduled last on an outside court, was one of those who was told to come back this morning. Her fellow Briton, Elena Baltacha, did not get on court until 7.45pm and within 56 minutes was back in the locker room after losing 6-3, 6-0 to New Zealand's Marina Erakovic.
Baltacha, playing her first Grand Slam tournament since last summer following ankle surgery, won the first two games, but Erakovic quickly found her range and took command with a fine combination of thumping ground strokes and well-judged drop shots. The world No 92, who had come here on the back of seven defeats in her previous eight matches, won 12 of the last 13 games.

I have two older brothers -- 6 and 8 years older than me. Thus, when I was in elementary school they were teenagers, and teenagers in the late 70s at that. Yes at that time were huge--the quintessential arena rock band of the 70s in fact. The dizzying lineup changes kept occuring, but always Jon Anderson and Chris Squire doing their thing.
My brothers had the Yes posters in their room (they shared a bedroom, until my oldest brother got kicked out), the t-shirts, the albums, and sometimes they would let me sit in the room with them (never when they were getting high, though) and listen to the music. They would doodle the groovy Yes logo on their notebook covers. They would explain to me how Yes was music that was about something, man. They had seen the band a few times--on the Tormato tour when they had the cool rotating stage, on the Going For The One tour (hey, that dude's naked on the cover!).
When I myself got to high school, 90125 had just been released. I of course listened to it, and got into it, because, hey, it was Yes. My older brother told me it was crap--"The lyrics aren't about anything! Where's Steve Howe!"--but I didn't listen. At least he and I could agree that sitting in a dark room with headphones listening to Close To The Edge was about as perfect as music could get.
I still like Yes a lot, and my upbringing means that I like the old stuff as much as the newer stuff (okay, yeah, Big Generator and Talk are mostly big stinkers, but Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman and Howe, Keys To Ascension and The Ladder, and 90125 are very good) but Yes is a band I'm in to because my older brothers were. They doesn't even listen to much of that stuff anymore--my oldest brother in particular has gone to the dark side largely, listening mostly to bland pop and --gasp--country (okay, he does live in Oklahoma), but somehow in some sort of strange fraternal devotion I still love the stuff.

Photographer Edith Maybin's Daughter Primps Up, Hose Down
Maybin presents her 21st-century daughter in compelling Victorian settings.
Photographer Edith Maybin's mother wore Marks and Spencer pantyhose in her day, the kind bunching up around the ankles of Maybin's dreamy preteen daughter here as she slumps in an old chair after a day of mother-daughter playtime. The image is one in a series titled The Tenby Document on view at Edwynn Houk Gallery through August 28, for which mommy Maybin presents her 21st-century daughter in compelling Victorian settings, sometimes superimposing her own body onto her daughters and blurring the narrative between three generations of Marks and Spencer ladies. —Emma Pearse

- - preg molly or poorly male please help?!
preg molly or poorly male please help?! 3 Attachment(s) is this a pregnant female or a poorly male? i bought this molly about 5-6 weeks ago and i am a little worried. The man in the shop said he thoght it was pregnant as it was a little bloated. On closer inspection it looks like a male due to the pointed anal fin (also thought it could be a female that had had its fins chewed a bit.) its scales also seem a bit weird they stick out round its belly and are a bit discoloured. i will attach some pics. thanks guys. |
I don't know much about livebearers, but it could be sick. :/ The protruding scales is often a sign of internal parasites. They eyes, they seem a little pop-like to me... Do the eyes look like they want to pop out of its head? (if so your fish is definately sick) |
The yellow one looks male to me with the gonopodium. I agree, he looks ill. How much and what have you been feeding? Water parameters? |
It's a dangerous buildup of internal pressure, that can be caused from parasites among other things. I would start treating with some meds and quarantine him from your other fish. Although, meds aren't a sure fire cure, as dropsy is a very tough disease for a fish to survive. |
At least wait for some more opinions before doing anything drastic :) |
definatley dropsy. Not a nice disease at all, and to be honest in my experience when they look like yours does they have gone past treatment. hope all goes well, let us know |
and just to let you know thats a platy lol. A bumblbee platy by the looks of him. Its a male |
Yeah, my fish caught dropsy (after a swap over to a new tank, I think they caught it because they got out of the bag before they were fully acclimated) and it destroyed my entire Tiger barb school. My Rosy Barb caught it also but the treatment worked on him and prevented anyone else from getting it. :/ It's a nasty disease but can be treated early on so I'd start treating your other fish just in case. |

A former University of Illinois football star has officially conceded in his race for the Democratic nomination in a central Illinois legislative race.
Winston Taylor announced his decision Monday. He lost to Decatur schoolteacher Sue Scherer by 69 votes.
Taylor sought a discovery recount in Macon and Christian counties but did not further challenge the results of the March 20 primary.
The former state Environmental Protection Agency administrator fought an uphill battle. Scherer got nearly $90,000 from campaign funds controlled by House Speaker Michael Madigan.
Taylor took 42.6 percent of the vote to Scherer's 43.7 percent. Springfield Alderman Sam Cahnman finished a distant third.

Denzel Curry is one of the best young rappers in the game right now. I've cosigned this dude since, like, 2012 when he was kicking it with Florida's Raider Klan. His 2013 debut full length album Nostalgic 64 was one of that year's best rap albums and yet nobody paid it any attention. Now, Curry is back with a vengeance and he's spitting pure fire. Curry's latest 32 Zel / Planet Shrooms is available for stream now, which you can peep after the jump.
As you probably already know Atlanta is the hotbed for rap. But there's still a handful of rappers out there in the A that sadly never get the proper shine they rightfully deserve. Enter ATLien Skinny-C, who dropped a series of grassroots performance and fan engagement campaigns through the Southeast. As a result, Skinny-C has sold more than 10,000 combined digital and hard copies of his 2010 release Mixtape Muzik Vol. 1: INTREPID and Mixtape Muzik Vol. 2: RHAPSODY. Since then, Skinny-C has performed at the 11th annual June-teenth Festival and the 5th Annual Texas Summer Music Conference. "I wrote 'Polo' on some feelgood fly ish," says Skinny. "I'm a Polo head that stays fly but don't seek attention (never thirsty), but on this day I was cleaner than yesterday, so the universe needs to look at me because not only am I fresher than most, I also got something to say." Check out Skinny-C's "Polo" after the jump.

Luda is now sharing the visuals from his first single "Call Ya Bluff' which ya'll can peep after the jump.

BUSH marks the first time Snoop and Pharrell will be working on a project together since 2004's Rhythm & Gangsta, which, as you may recall spawned huge radio singles with "Drop It Like It's Hot." Check out "Peaches N Cream" after the jump.
Kendrick Lamar's new album finally has a title and release date. And it's coming sooner than you think!
Read more after the jump.
In case you haven't heard Fashawn is back. After dropping his FASH-ionably Late mixtape (with The Alchemist) last year Fashawn returns in 2015 with The Ecology (which drops February 24th.) Fashawn has already shared "Guess Who's Back," "Out the Trunk," and the Nas/Aloe Blacc featured "Something to Believe In." And now Fashawn, being the gentleman that he is, is sharing the entire project for free. That's right, an album stream of all fourteen tracks. In addition to Nas and Aloe Blacc, The Ecology features BJ the Chicago Kid and Choosey. Stream Fashawn's The Ecology after the jump.
Ghostface Killah and BADBADNOTGOOD's collaborative project Soul Soul officially drops February 24th and looks like fans are getting a treat early, as they've shared the entire album. There are twelve total tracks and there are features from MF DOOM, Danny Brown, eLZhi, and Tree. You can stream Ghostface Killah and BADBADNOTGOOD's Sour Soul after the jump.
Joey Bada$$' debut full length studio album B4.DA.$$ is officially out now and to celebrate the release (as well as his birthday) he is dropping a freebie with "Born Day (AquariUS)." The track finds Joey going off, sounding jubilant and uplifted. Produced by frequent collaborator Statik Selektah "Born Day (AquariUS)" will not be on B4.DA.$$ but it is certainly worthy of a listen. Check it out after the jump.

Phonak Audéo PFE 232
" Audeo Phonak PFE232 Let's start with comfort. I have an ear that doesn't work perfectly with the pfe232. This may be rare, but I get a lot of forward treble that is almost sibilant, but more "in your face" with instruments like cymbals. This is not normal, as I can tell it is too far unbalanced to be intended. The cymbals are so far forward I can't listen to..." --luisdent
MEElectronics A151-BK Balanced Armature In-Ear Headphones
" I have a proposition for you. I'll tell you all about the first balanced armature MEElectronics has made if you agree to think about buying them. Deal? Deal. The A151 is MEElectronics' first balanced armature IEM, and I must say, it's a valiant first try indeed in a market saturated with <$100 IEM's, and we all know MEE's specialty is dynamic IEM's right? So are these..." --Ishcabible
Phonak PFE 012
"First of all I rarely listen to them apart from my rig that include iPod Nano 6 and RS Audio P-51 Mustang. After years they stand the time the best from whole system - none of cable wear nor plastic damages even jack plug still has pristine gold shine. But lets get back to the beginning... My very first impression about them during listening The Doors was that Jim sings as if my ears..." --Dr Claudio
MEElectronics CW31 Wooden In-Ear Headphones for iPod, iPhone, MP3/CD/DVD Players (Wood)
" I used to own MEElecs. George Carlin said that he never was fine and dandy in same moment. I was. Now, I am sad to say that I was so careless to lose them in worst possible scenario. They were not in their pouch, in my backpack, but alone. In my pants pocket. With foolish illusion of safety. One moment they were in my jeans, next one they weren't, how- three months later..." --milan425
MEElectronics SP51-BK Sound Preference In-Ear Headphone with Sound Tuning for iPod, iPhone, MP3/CD/DVD Players (Black)
"I had this earphones for 2 years and I must say, that I was really satisfied with it. With the possibility to change bass you can choose what really fits you and I must say, that the bass was really nice, clear and deep (I used the middle one). Only cons which I found are: hard cable - it can easily pull out the phones from your ear... size - the phones are little longer then most..." --Benik3
MEElectronics M 11+
" Introduction First, allow me to thank the great folks at MEElectronics for sending me a sample of the newly released M11P+ IEMs for review. Prior to sometime in early February, I wasn't aware that MEElectronics existed. It wasn't until I came across a review of their M9 IEMs on Head-Fi that I decided to check them out and the rest is history. MEElectronics IEMs have been some..." --TheGame21x
MEElectronics A161 In-Ear Noise-Canceling Headphones with Balanced Armature Technology
" Note: this is more of an impression-style review, since I ultimately did not keep this set. I listened to it intensively, however, and feel confident enough to put together a few thoughts. At the end I mention some things I'd like to see from MEElec's next flagship. Introduction The A161P by MEElectronics (hereafter referred to as MEElec) is the company's second single..." --Argyris
Phonak Audeo PFE 132
"This in-ear monitors were a wonderful surprise and so I thought I would report on my first impressions after several weeks. I was looking for a more comfortable in-ear monitors that were better than my Triple-Fi 10's which were aging albeit gracefully. I came across the deep deals for Cyber Monday and took a flyer based upon the positive reviews and pros that match my requirements. ..." --Mark-sf

" i got these for Christmas 2011, they where excelent out of the box. even compared to my Senns they are amazing, they sounded incredibly detailed next to my PortaPros and even my Senns. the soundstage isn't quite as good as i would like, but this is before burn-in. i'll give an update after burn-in in a post later.

Its weird—what Im doing right now in the lab is exactly what I was doing this time last year. But this time last year I was a retard that didn't know how to pour an 0.8% agarose gel. Seriously, my boss had to show me how to do that (and he was very sweet about it, btw. Didn't even laugh when I tried to 'write down the protocol.' **blush**). Now Im doing these insane experiments by myself.
Including the dreaded 12hr time-point. Ugh. No matter how early you start this protocol, the 12hr point is always in the middle of the night!! ARRRG! I go to sleep 30 minutes ago!
So Im typing this blog entry to keep me awake until I have to drive to work and blow stuff up for 45 minutes. Yes, blow stuff up. Blow radioactive stuff up. I said these experiments are insane!
I infected some cells with a virus a couple days ago. Let the viruses get real comfy—let them set up shop, getting the cell to make its proteins for it. Hehehe But this morning, I took away all the cells' food. I starved those bastards so they couldn't make any proteins. Hehehe Then I gave them food, laced with radioactive Methionine and Cysteine amino acids!! Methionine and Cysteine are the only amino acids that contain sulfur, so we just exchanged a regular sulfur atom with a radioactive S35 atom—that way we could find out exactly what proteins the cells were making, because all the proteins they make will be radioactive! And those cells are making viral proteins :) We wanna know how much of a certain viral protein is getting made, and how fast its getting chopped into two pieces that the virus really needs to stay infectious.
Well we can collect all the proteins the cells make by blowing them up and collecting their innards (my favorite part, personally hehe). We blow them up right after we give them radioactive food, an identical batch of cells 2 hours later, another one 4 hours later, etc etc etc up to 24 hours. Again, we want to know how fast this protein were interested in gets chopped into two, so we take a snap-shot every couple of hours.
We can pull out the viral proteins we are interested in by making them stick to beads with special antibodies. These proteins get run out in a gel to separate them out by size—put a piece of film on the gel, let it set for a while, and the S35 excites the film when exposed to light, and you get a sweet ass gel that you can get lots of AWESOME data from!
… But that will be like, a few weeks from now. Sorry. :(

Out of Print and Very Much In Style
Literature and fashion intersect to yield one cool tee and one great cause
I need comfortable t-shirts that fit well for the summer months. That's the long and short of it (I know, it seems like summer is so far away on blustery Chicago days like yesterday).
But stay with me, you're going to love today's fashion find.
I'd like some cozy, cotton layering pieces. If they happen to be cute, well then, I'd be a very satisfied customer.
I've had my eye on a cotton tee at the Book Table in Oak Park (1045 Lake Street) for a while, and I finally decided to give it a try. This is the part where I sing its praises. You'll find out why shortly.
Books and reading have shaped me as a person. I'm an old-fashioned reader who loves to hold a book in my hand and turn the pages. Nothing beats the feeling. I also collect first editions (ah, that smell!); so I was drawn to the Out of Print shirts hosting classic book covers on soft tees. I love the vintage look, the flattering cut, the pops of color.
Not only are they super comfy and reasonably priced, but every Out of Print purchase makes possible the donation of one book to a community in need through their partnership with Books for Africa.
From our friends at Out of Print:
Books on shirts. Shirts on a mission.
Out of Print celebrates the world's great stories through fashion. Our shirts feature iconic and often out of print book covers. Some are classics, some are just curious enough to make great t-shirts, but all are striking works of art.
We work closely with artists, authors and publishers to license the content that ends up in our collections. Each shirt is treated to feel soft and worn like a well-read book.
In addition to spreading the joy of reading through our tees, we acknowledge that many parts of the world don't have access to books at all. We are working to change that. For each shirt we sell, one book is donated to a community in need through our partner Books For Africa.
How we read is changing as we move further into the digital age. It's unclear what the role of the book cover will be in this new era, but we feel it's more important than ever to reflect on our own individual experiences with great literary art before it's forever changed.
What's your story?
Contact The Book Table for store hours and prices.
Stop back next week for another Fabulous Friday Find or for more Style Inspiration from friends and neighbors!

Babbitt's Monster Energy Kawasaki's Tyler Bowers Holds the Arenacross Points Lead in Kansas2012-01-17 22:28Although some consider Friday the 13th unlucky, Babbitt's Monster Energy Amsoil Kawasaki's Tyler Bowers left any superstitions in the dust on his way to earning his seventh win of the 2012 AMA Arenacross series at Kansas Expocenter in Topeka, Kansas. Chad Johnson started off the night on a positive note by grabbing the win in the Dash for Cash, but crashed in the main and finished seventh. On Saturday night, Johnson powered his Kawasaki KX™250F to the top of the podium earning his second win of the season, with Bowers finishing close behind in the runner-up spot. After going 1-2 over the weekend, Bowers maintained the number one spot in the series points standings. Lucky Number Seven Bowers came to Kansas tied for the points lead, but was determined to leave the event as the sole owner of the coveted red plate. On Friday night, Bowers powered his KX250F out front quickly, grabbed the holeshot, and checked out early to score his seventh win of the season. In the Saturday night main event, Bowers powered into fifth around the first turn and started picking off riders. He moved into second, but was unable to catch his teammate Johnson, who already had a comfortable lead. Bowers finished in the runner-up spot and ended the weekend with a 12-point lead in the standings. "The tie for the lead wasn't good enough," said Bowers. "I came to Kansas with a plan to leave with the only red plate. In Friday's main I clipped the gate with my front tire but still pulled the holeshot. The rest of the race went pretty flawless for me. During the Saturday heat race I was trying to make a move to the inside of a corner, skidded out, and went down. I got up and finished sixth, which left me in the second row for the main event start. In the main I got a great jump off the gate and came around the first corner in fifth. I got knocked around inside the tight pack pretty good before I pulled out front into second." Rounding Out the Podium Johnson got the weekend off to a great start on Friday, taking the win in the Dash for Cash. In the main event Johnson had to fight back from a second row start, but managed to battle his way into fifth by the final lap. On the last lap he tried to make a pass on fourth, but got pushed to the outside of a berm and went off the track. He quickly recovered, but lost a couple spots and finished seventh. On Saturday, Johnson had figured out the tricky, hardpacked track and took his second win of the season. Johnson currently sits third in the points. "It was another great weekend for Team Babbitt's," said Johnson. "Friday night I got a rough start and had to battle most of the race. On Saturday I felt really good on the bike. I got a good start and moved into the lead right before the halfway mark. The dirt was pretty slick and I was sliding around the track pretty good. I knew Tyler was behind me and I tried to stay smooth and consistent for the remainder of the race." No Pain, No Gain Bowers spent the past week in physical therapy focusing on the injuries he sustained in last weekend's Dash for Cash crash in Grand Rapids, Mich. Despite being bruised and swollen, Bowers knew in order to stay on the championship trail he needed to win in Kansas. Like a true champion, Bowers fought through the pain to earn his seventh win of the season and took back control of the series points lead. "I am still pretty sore from my wreck in Grand Rapids," said Bowers. "Despite the pain I feel during practice, during in the main events it goes away when the adrenaline starts pumping." Missing the KX™450F Since the AMA Arenacross series switched the arenacross class from 450Fs to 250Fs this season, riders have been divided on whether or not the decision was a good one. While the 250F is easier to ride, some feel the 450 is a better bike for the premier class. While the decision has not appeared to effect Bowers or Johnson negatively, they still hope some day that they will get to transition back to the KX450F. "I miss the KX450F," said Johnson. "I thought they were better for competition because they took more skill to ride. You also had to be in better shape to get them around those tight arenacross tracks. While the 250F is still a lot of fun to ride, I hope we can transition back to the 450F next year." Headed to the Buckeye State Next weekend, Babbitt's Monster Energy Amsoil Kawasaki's Arenacross team heads to the Nutter Center in Dayton, Ohio for the next round of the 2012 AMA Arenacross series.

MONROE, La., April 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Embarq Payphone Services, Inc. (EPSI) a subsidiary of CenturyTel, Inc. d/b/a CenturyLink and a leading provider of inmate communications services, has completed a significant phone system installation project for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ).
The project is the culmination of a multi-year effort which included a highly competitive bid process. The project was accomplished with technology partner Securus Technologies at all TDCJ state operated units across the state.
"The project with the TDCJ is unprecedented. Given the scope and complexity of the TDCJ contract, it is a significant achievement to deliver the service on time and within budget," said Paul Cooper, EPSI's general manager. "The project included installation of approximately 5,500 phones that will allow up to 120,000 inmates to make secure, controlled phone calls.
"Not only do Texas inmates have an affordable way to connect with friends and family members, but TDCJ now has a communications infrastructure that it can use to support its operations now and into the future," Cooper said, noting that EPSI installed new state-of-the-art network infrastructure within each TDCJ facility.
CenturyLink is a leading provider of high-quality voice, broadband and video services over its advanced communications networks to consumers and businesses in 33 states. CenturyLink, headquartered in Monroe, La., is an S&P 500 Company and expects to be listed in the Fortune 500 list of America's largest corporations.

Recent Scranton News
Stephen Lahey did not think his neighbor would call the police.
He was wrong.
Ryan McGee called police around 2 a.m. Friday to say Mr. Lahey was screaming to "keep it down up there" as he climbed the back stairs to his third-floor apartment at 1907 Boulevard Ave.
"I know there's underage drinking going on up there," said Mr. Lahey, 31, the second-floor tenant.
Mr. McGee walked by and entered his apartment, but noticed Mr. Lahey began banging an item against his ceiling to accompany his shouts.
Then police said Mr. Lahey left his apartment, walked up to Mr. McGee's apartment, and began throwing trash and beer bottles against the side of the building. Mr. Lahey swore at his neighbor.
"You won't call police!" he shouted.
Scranton Patrolman Nicholas Hurchick was soon on his way.
What happened next sparked a six-hour standoff that closed nearby schools and shut down the neighborhood as the Scranton Police Special Operations Group worked to defuse the situation.
Patrolman Hurchick first heard the shouts coming from Mr. Lahey's apartment.
"I'm going to ... kill someone," a man shouted. "I can't ... take it anymore, I'm going to ... kill someone."
No one answered when the officer first knocked on the back door of the apartment. The lights were on, so Patrolman Hurchick knocked again. Someone inside began to shout.
"OK, I'm going to get my shotgun! I'm going to put a ... slug through your chest," Mr. Lahey shouted, according to the patrolman. The lights went out in the apartment.
Patrolman Hurchick ran around to the front of the building just as Patrolwoman Elaine Bosak arrived on scene. A beer bottle sailed from a second floor window and nearly struck Patrolwoman Bosak, police said.
"I'm going to kill someone!" Mr. Lahey shouted again.
Additional officers arrived and were soon joined by SOG team members. They spent the early morning trying to negotiate with Mr. Lahey and get him out of the house peacefully. Tear gas canisters were launched through windows but to no effect.
It was not until SOG members, after monitoring Mr. Lahey's position, breached the apartment through the back door and took the shirtless man into custody.
"Saw the SWAT (SOG) team on the second-floor porch yell, scream, boom, bust 'em in," said Tom Kelly after the incident.
Mr. Kelly, an employee of Connor-Helring Associates, which shares a back yard with the apartment, said he has never seen Mr. Lahey in the three years he has worked for the insurance agency on Sanderson Street. He arrived for work at 8:25 a.m. and saw the officers preparing to storm the apartment.
"We've never seen that person in this neighborhood," he said.
Brown dreadlocks nearly down to his waist covered his face as he was led by officers to a prisoner transport truck. His pants hung low on his waist.
Mr. Lahey said he "didn't do anything" before the truck's door was shut.
At the request of Scranton police, Robert Morris Elementary School and St. Clare/St. Paul schools were closed for the day.
"It's better to be safe than sorry," Acting Scranton Police Chief Carl Graziano said.
Chief Graziano arrived on scene shortly after Mr. Lahey was taken into custody and congratulated the SOG members on the peaceful resolution. No shots were fired during the incident, the chief said.
"The ultimate goal is to have the situation end peacefully," Chief Graziano said. "If that happens it's a good day."
Mr. Lahey was charged with two counts of aggravated assault, one count of terroristic threats, one count of attempted simple assault, one count of disorderly conduct and one citation for harassment.
He is in Lackawanna County Prison in lieu of $50,000. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Dec. 16.

What's to feel guilty about, really? That you like certain names? Who on earth would be harmed by that?

He's leaving downtown, but John Erwin will still dish up BBQ at his old eatery
By Christina Waters
AN AUTHENTIC BIT OF THE OLD SOUTH just left downtown San Jose, and fans of barbecued soul food are crying in their beer. Jon-Jon's hefty ribs and tender, juicy chicken were the stuff of many a downtowner's spiciest food memories. Jon-Jon's was the real thing, and while many devotees will truly miss this local institution, the good news is that owner John Erwin is keeping his original location stoked. The original home of Jon-Jon's hearty, authentic barbecue, located near Highway 101 at 1305 Old Oakland Road, will serve the same great food until around 3pm daily. "This place was a great lunch spot," says downtown SJ foodie and Jon-Jon's aficionado Shari Campbell. "I'll miss it."
Fanny & Alexander Do SJ
You loved it in Palo Alto (you even loved the screen version by Swedish cinema maestro Ingmar Bergman). You'll soon be able to love it in Burlingame. And right now you can love Fanny & Alexander in downtown San Jose. Since November the bastion of rockin' Pacific Rim food ideas has ensconced itself on that very hip strip of San Pedro Street that positively reeks of turn-of-the-century historic ambiance (there are two entrances, and the official address is 72 N. Almaden Ave., 408.287.1737). No matter how dotcom the ambiance, this lively dining room majors in beautifully crafted foods exploding with flavor. The cognac-cured salmon carpaccio is a destination dish. I love the way the rich, sensuous seafood contrasts with crisp potatoes and mustard dill aioli. The house signature nori salmon, stuffed in nori with shrimp, mushrooms and black bean sauce, is one of our personal favorites. Not all "house specialties" live up to the name--this dish does.
Chef Update
Eric Tosh, the new chef at Eulipia, emailed a few choice details about his culinary background and foreground. "We are a couple of weeks out on a new menu," Tosh told me. "Keeping some of the old favorites but with a new flair using only the finest of ingredients. I'd guess you would call it New American in style." Tosh also reminded me that he had not worked for Cafe Marcella (as was previously mentioned in this column), but that he had cooked at Saratoga's illustrious Sent Sovi, at the JW Marriott Hotel in Bangkok and at One Market and Aqua in San Francisco. All of this after he'd gotten his degree from the California Culinary Academy. Thought you'd like to know who's creating the current excitement over at Eulipia (still located in the SoFA district of San Jose).
