Tobacco became popular in Europe in the 1600's, after traders brought back tobacco plants from the Americas. Pipes, borrowed from the Native Americans, were the first popular method of smoking, and were made of wood, bone, clay, and even metal. Some of the most valuable antique pipes are those made of meerschaum, a rare white stone.
Cigars, which have long been popular in Central and South America, have a whole set of collectibles associated with them, including cigar boxes, humidors, cigar cutters, and special cigar lighters.
Next came the cigarette, popularized during the Crimean war when soldiers would roll their pipe tobacco in newsprint. Related collectibles include tobacco tins, tobacco cards, ashtrays, matchbooks, and vintage advertising and signs. Over the years, tobacco companies created iconic logos like Zig-Zag's Zouave and The Camel (later Joe Camel), and put their slogans on everything from clothing to posters to statuettes.
Cigarette lighters are a category all their own, with major brands including Zippo, Ronson, and Dunhill. There's a wide variety of lighters to collect in every material imaginable. Although lighters haven't changed much from their original designs in the early 1900s, the older the lighter, the more decorated they tend to be. And don't forget the lighter's precursor, the lowly but often highly ornamented match holder (aka match safe).

wikiHow to Run a Housefax Report
Housefax.com™ is the first national property data service that delivers comprehensive, consolidated home reports to consumers. The reports are available online. First report is free to consumers. Additional reports are $9. The Report provides property-specific home history such as building permits, mortgage information, fire, flood, sink hole and other important residential property records. An additional Claims History Report is available as an add-on product for $19.
Though we're in the midst of a housing rebound, many homes have been neglected, rented, foreclosed or left vacant, and today's buyers are far more cautious. When finalizing a contract on a home, inspection reports often threaten closings too late in the process, and can miss hidden red flags like mold, fire and flood damage, or even meth labs, sink holes, earthquake fault lines and other hazards. It's important to do your own due diligence before making an offer on any home."

New factory for fast-growing seamless solid surface maker
At just 23, Kenneth Mallia employs 11 people and has ambitious plans for his company.
Seamless Solid Surface Solutions, the maker of flawless acrylic tops for kitchens and bathrooms, is four years old and is soon to move to a factory in Corradino. It will be three times the size of the factory it currently occupies in Qormi.
Mr Mallia's dream to go into business began when he was 19 as he was training in plumbing and electricity at the Malta College for Arts Sciences and Technology.
A relative produced seamless kitchen tops part-time and Mr Mallia saw greater potential for this product locally. He applied for a Malta Enterprise start-up scheme in 2008 and was granted €30,000 to start his own business.
The company has gone from strength to strength and is now predominantly export-oriented. Seamless Solid Surface Solutions has established itself in Libya where Mr Mallia has a Libyan partner and two Maltese and two Libyan employees.
Mr Mallia is now looking into expanding his business to Tunisia where initial market research has already revealed encouraging demand for the product.
Locally, Mr Mallia is looking forward to moving to the new 600 square-metre plant in Corradino as the garage Seamless Solid Surface Solutions occupies within Qormi industrial estate is hindering the business' growth.
Seamless Solid Surface Solutions could be a testimonial for practically all the business funding schemes offered by Malta Enterprise and the EU – Mr Mallia has tapped as many as he could to fund his business' expansion.
As a start-up, Seamless Solid Surface Solutions was partly funded by the European Regional and Development Fund. Mr Mallia later took out a MicroCredit loan with a subsidised interest rate to acquire additional machinery, and received tax credits under the MicroInvest scheme.
Acrylic solid surfaces with inconspicuous seams can be manufactured and installed in almost any residential and commercial setting. For humid environments like kitchens or bathrooms, wooden frames are covered with acrylic for flawless finishes.
The tops are highly durable – Mr Mallia says they are "even stronger than stone" – will not lose their colour, are resistant to heat, mould and bacteria, and are difficult to stain and scratch.

The Search for Fresh and Unique Holiday Cards
Have the holidays got you seeing only red, green and blue? Are you tired of sending out the same old holiday cards each year? Liven up this season with refreshing and unexpected holiday cards that will revive your festive spirit! Use the following tips to select the perfect holiday cards to send to friends and family.
The first step in updating your holiday cards is to shake up the traditional color scheme. Look for unique holiday cards with bold colors, like orange or pink. These vibrant hues are sure to make a unique statement. If you're not quite ready to let go of the classic festive colors, then try out different tones to create distinctive holiday cards. Look for rich shades of red, green and blue to set an elegant vibe, or use softer pastel colors for a fun and whimsical holiday card.
While the color palette is certainly important for selecting your holiday cards, the card decorations can also make or break the design. Trade in snowflakes for polka dots and Christmas trees for flowers to get a fresh new look for your holiday cards. You can also incorporate classic seasonal icons on your holiday cards, but make sure to do it in a fun new way by looking for charming hanging ornaments or sweetly striped details on the design.
The last thing to keep in mind when selecting your one-of-a-kind holiday cards is to keep things simple. Don't overwhelm your loved ones with a card full of twenty different decorations and decals. Once you've found the right color scheme and decorations, let them shine in an effortless way. Remember, your warm wishes should always be the main focus of your holiday cards!

The exchange between Missoula School District administrative team member Mark Walton and Indian Peoples Action (IPA) director Janet Robideau at a meeting Tuesday night seemed like an especially telling one, in light of the purpose of the meeting.
"What do you prefer to be called," he asked, "Native American, Indian, American Indian, indigenous or something different?"
Robideau sighed and said, "I can only speak for myself, but I feel there are greater problems than worrying about what I'm called. What's important is that I'm addressed with respect."
The meeting was convened so the administrative team, minus vacationing Superintendent Mary Vagner, could finally discuss IPA's June report about improving Missoula schools' disciplinary policies, parental participation, minority teacher recruitment and cultural competency policies. IPA has been steadily lobbying district administrators and school board members to review their recommendations for the past three months.
Vagner has maintained that before any changes can be made to district policies, IPA's report must be reviewed by the administrative team, which will then recommend how to proceed.
Amid nervous laughter at times and emotional discussion, administrators asked for clarification on IPA's recommendations, especially pertaining to discipline.
"The students we interviewed said they were corrected for something without the opportunity to tell their side of the story," Robideau explained. "The students then felt that when they were defending themselves they got a suspension for defiance of authority."
One of IPA's main points was, and remains, the need for students to have a process to follow if they feel they are wronged or punished unfairly. Often, Robideau has held, there is some type of harassment, especially racial, that leads to physical fighting and then disciplinary action.
Carol Meyers, an IPA member and former Title IX administrator for the Missoula district, says Indian parents are also frustrated by what they see as a system that shuts them out.
"Parents are willing to help their children," she said. "But many are faced with a system that has historically taken our children from us, and that memory is ingrained in some of us."
"We hear all the time that parents don't get involved," Robideau added. "What we have to ask is why? It's because of discomfort."
The bottom line, IPA members agreed, is that the Missoula district has the opportunity to make a significant difference in the way Indian students feel about education.
"This is where you get to tread new waters," Robideau told the administrative team. "Lots of our kids are in the school system, and Missoula can set the pace for the rest of Montana."
Larry Johnson, assistant superintendent, said the team will report the results of what ultimately seemed like a positive, if tentative, meeting to Vagner.
"We'll give advice, but it's up to her. She's the CEO," Johnson said.

Not that impressed and very rude. When I ordered the "build your own pizza" and asked that the pepperoni be left off half the pizza (for my kids) i was told they would not do that, they are very strict. I said I would pay for the topping just dont put it on the whole pizza. They managed to do that some how(you get 6 slices, one large pepperoni on each slice, do the math) My pesto pizza w/the local shrimp again skimpy on the not so fresh shrimp. My husbands Ceasar very underdressed to the point neither of us was sure it had dressing at all. No problem they were happy to bring out extra dressing and actually charge us for it. We were never told the specials and felt that anything we asked for was an inconvience to them. The dough is thin and tasted great in the wood fired oven. The pizza toppings are run of the mill, nothing really creative and certainly not worth the attitude. Who do the think they are Danial Bould in New York? I'll take any snobby overpriced New York restaurant with good food, or the very laid back Mellow Mushroom Pizza over this place any day.
Wow, three of us went there for lunch today and it was incredible! the food was so obviously homemade. We started out with appetizers (calamari & garlic bread), then we chose the specials of the day (lobster manicotti & cavaletti w/homemade sausage), then dessert (tirimisu, cannoli, and gelati). Yum, yum, and yum! The service was great--bartendar kept asking if things were good as well as our server and other servers. The homemade pasta and bread was mouth watering. They have a nice wine & beer selection as well. We cannot wait to go back with more friends! Thank you!
I have been patronizing the downtown and WA locations since they each opened. I love pizza, and like to spread my pizza money around- Athens, D'allesandros, Monza, Mellow - always looking to satisfy the NY pizza craving. The last couple of times I have tried the Ando WA location, the food has been OK - not good or great. With this in mind, around 9PM I phoned in a take out order to the WA location. I was told it would be ready in 15 minutes. I gave them 20. When I showed up, the pizza had not been made yet. There was no one in the place, but they insisted they had been "busy". OK- I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Waited about 10 minutes and the pizza was ready. Something seemed different about the way it looked from how I remembered it in the past. It was a mess, and there seemed to be missing cheese. I was told by the guys behind the counter that they had put the toppings on first and then the cheese- "so it would cook faster"! Well, the pizza tasted horrible, and was undercooked. A truly disappointing meal, made more disappointing by the memories of what once had been. Andolini's used to be the best pizza in Charleston. After my most recent experience, I would say it is the worst!
Really great food - sandwiches, pizza, calzones - all delicious and served fast. Everything's really fresh and absolutely delicious.
Really want to try this place but I have to say I am put off when it says on the menu "no substitutions, etc...integrity of the pizza.....blah blah blah". Pizza is the one thing that you should be able to get however the hell you want. I hate to think i'll have to beg for a pizza with just pepperoni on it.
I worked there for a while...six beautiful months...delicious food, wonderful people...
I definitely left a piece of my heart there...can't wait to go back!
Miss ya all guys!!!
Best pizza in Charleston!
Great Italian family restaurant with wood fired oven pizzas; excellent fresh salads,
and home-made pasta. Excellent table service, with knowledgeable servers and
wonderful wine/beer list. Don't miss desserts! Bill, Kiawah Island
Best pizza in Charleston, HANDS DOWN. Fresh toppings, imported cheese, homemade sauce. Wish they were still open for lunch all week, but at least they open at 3 so you can get a pie on the way home from work.
We ordered for delivery and "built our own" Chicago deep dish with spinach, black olives and meatballs. It arrived hot, which is always a bonus, since pizza always tastes just a little different when you reheat it. This is our new favorite pizza place - - the crust was delicious, the sauce and toppings were fresh, tasty and generous. Our order cost us $28.00 total, but there was enough pizza to last several days because just one slice of this stuff is enough for a meal.
I don't know about "best pizza in charleston" but that's only becuase I haven't tried it all yet! Went in for lunch and ordered the margherita pizza. It was delicious! I moved to Charleston from DC and these pies definetly rival the famous 2 Amy's in DC. EVO is definitely worth it for the pizza. Also got the arugula salad with procuitto; light, delicious, perfect starter to the thin italian style pies.
I always enjoyed Norm's Pizza. A cool little neighborhood spot with a nice laid-back vibe. I too was disappointed when I found out they were shutting down. I'm excited that they are back and with a liquor license, eating a big norms pizza is just not the same without a nice pitcher of beer.
The popular Thursday night pizza special is back but different with the new ownership. Instead of half off any large pizza with limited hours its now $7.99 for a one-topping large all day long.
I heard the rumors that Norm's was shutting down and was upset that one of downtowns most iconic pizza places was closing. Imagine my surprise when I drove by, saw the open sign and found out NORM is back. The original owner that opened the place in 1979 is back and running the place again. I was also told by Norm's very nice daughters the situation with the beer liscence (they are getting it March 1st). The food is great and I love that the entire family is working there. You can't find a better mom and pop place to dine at. They get to know you and what you like to order. I personally LOVE their customer service. It is rare to get such great treatment at restaurants
went for lunch it took 1 hour to get my pizza husband had sandwich the meat smelled bad pasta salad was not fit to eat was very very old what has happened to this place i would never go again no manger to help us out whanted me to pay for this the must be crazy
Had some Park Pizza last night...DAMN it was good. The owner is supper nice, they were busy but it didn't take long to make and it was delicious!
I really cannot say enough about this place. Pretty much the best tomato sauce in Charleston, including Il Cortile, Fulton Five, and Lucca. The pizza is second-to-none: made to order, handled with care, nothing but fresh ingredients. The stromboli and calzones are also better than any I've had in the city. This place is a gem and I hope it stays open (maybe even upgrades to a larger location) for a long time. A must-have.
If you want pizza in Mt. P, look no further. Their pasta, dessert, calzones, baked sandwiches also are terrific. My previous review stands, now with star power!
Very good pizza.. Above most in the area.
Best Bianco slice I've ever had. The Margherita slice was pretty good also. Paid about $11 for two slices and a drink.

Nice letter. Can't wait to hear their response.
Only 6 campus police on duty for 30k students at an urban campus? That's an outrage.
This is a discussion on Well, University opinion vs. ORC, who'll win? within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I go to the University of Cincinnati, and am also a Ohio CHL holder. Campus police really didn't have much of a clue (they said ...
I go to the University of Cincinnati, and am also a Ohio CHL holder. Campus police really didn't have much of a clue (they said car ok, walking with not ok after a bunch of bouncing back and forth), but they also can't tell me what the University will do if (I hope this never happens) somebody spots me placing my gun in the safe. My future education is not worth taking some guy's word for it, so I contacted the office of Judicial Affairs about this tonight. Should be interesting to see what I get back.
Subject: Student Code of Conduct and Ohio Revised Code
To: firstname.lastname@example.com
I have a question about what I view as a questionable gray area for some Ohio residents/students. I am licensed by the state of Ohio to carry a concealed weapon, and by doing this have proven that I have a clean background, with no felonies, no drug offenses, and no mental instabilities.
I pursued my license for self defense and for the defense of my family, which I hope you understand with the violent crime in Cincinnati and my wish to avoid becoming a statistic.
University of Cincinnati's code of student conduct states:
"Use, storage, or possession of a firearm, explosive device of any description, ammunition or anything used to threaten or harm including, but not limited to, firecrackers, compressed air guns, pellet guns, BB guns, paint guns, water guns, and knives."
Ohio Revised Code Sec. 2923.126. states (with reagards to places forbidden for carry):
"(5) Any premises owned or leased by any public or private college, university, or other institution of higher education, unless the handgun is in a locked motor vehicle or the licensee is in the immediate process of placing the handgun in a locked motor vehicle;"
I wish to carry in my vehicle during my commute to and from school only, with the weapon secured in a vehicle safe and made useless (my pistol has an internal lock that prevents movement of the slide and the trigger) while on campus during classes.
I do NOT want to jeapordize my future education due to a misunderstanding between Ohio State Law and University Policy. Is a student, licensed and acting within the letter of the law regarding the university and his weapon, still subject to the Student Code of Conduct?
With the University stripping me of all effective means of self defense on campus (my car keys are not worth their weight in salt against a knife, firearm, or multiple assailants), and with the understanding that they can only provide 6 officers for 30,000+ students, I do NOT wish to increase the odds of injury or death by including my commute to campus as a time that I have nothing, NOR do I wish to violate university policy and the potential remifications of doing so.
I would greatly appreciate to get in writing the University's stance on this. If this is not possible, I would be glad to stop by your offices and discuss this.
Thank you for your time,
Michael xxxxxxxxx
Nice letter. Can't wait to hear their response.

Go Glock - until you can afford H&K
Your comparing apples and oranges here...
You might be in violation of the schools rules, but not in violation of law. The school can punish you for not following thier rules, but no violation of law has occured.

Clifton is a real safe place, I know I always feel like the bad guys won't get me when I'm down there or driving down there. I am not a lawyer, but a weapon can be locked in a vehicle on campus.
Nice letter, but last I checked your school's president had aobut as much sense as mine.

I can tell you what theywould say at my school. No firearms are allowed on school property period. Even in the car.
Of course they would likely never know, but if I were to get stopped by the UPD and they searched my car, I would be screwed, so I leave the gun at home on school days.
Luckily, I'm big and ugly and old, so most criminals would probably pick an easier looking target, I hope. Of course it also makes me feel better that we have zero violent crime on our campus here.(of course one incident can change that real quickly) It has a lot to do with the area demographics and our campus cops do carry guns.
One more semester and I'll be out of this liberal wasteland though. I can't wait.
Of course law school may be as bad or worse, who knows?
When you've got 'em by the balls, their hearts & minds will follow. Semper Fi.
I tell you what the outcome is going to be if you want me to...
Its like having the monkeys running the zoo down there, commen sense no longer exists.
"Just blame Sixto"
I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.
On the vehicle part, I'm thinking the same thing, but I'm not willing to risk my education over an "I thought I was ok because they said so" situation.
Real safe place: Maybe to you, but I carry my pistol everywhere. The surroundings I go to are always perfectly ok and never have made me question where I go, but the people in those areas are a different story. Too much of a history of rape, assault, shooting, drug crime, and robbery for me to risk it. I've got a 30 minute commute there, and spend about 20 of it in a not so nice area. I make sure my gas gauge is plenty to get me to and from for a reason.
The president's common sense is near nil, although her business tactics need work, her management sense is near perfect. Still don't like a decent amount of her decisions.
Yup, but by getting it in writing, and hopefully by working with the Criminal Justice Society (been to one meeting and already gave an impromptu speech, and they welcomed my CCW trainer with open arms, always good signs), I can give it a shot at changing. Dealing with the campus police captain to try and raise awareness and self defense courses resulted in 1 email correspondence followed with her not emailing me back after 2 or 3 more emails to her, and her conveniently being in a meeting when I've showed up in person.
I'm just a student, but when organized, especially in a well defined existing organization like the CJS, we have a chance to do some change.
Sorry, sarcasm doesnt flow well on the forum sometimes. I have heard gunshots while sleeping at friend's houses down there, several times. I'm not sure which campus is more dangerous, yours or mine, but they are close., especially the off campus residence areas. I know OTR pretty well too (Cincy raised, lots of community service in high school).
At least you don't live down around campus, I live right off campus up here, not such a good neighborhood, a lot of the area around Cincy itself is real nice, especially the further you get.
And yes, I carry a pistol and knife minimum everywhere I can.

Hey, no problem, I frequent many campuses around Ohio and Indiana, and OSU and UC might be the worst I go to regularly. I never went to UC, but played a lot of high school ball in Nippert, and have lots of friends down there, many on the rugby team, that makes for a rough night.
Stay safe down there, I'm interested to hear UC's response.

I graduated from UC. Twice. The place is no safer now than it was in the 90s.
You will not get the answer you want from UC. You know that. Frankly, your firearm is not safe in your car, either. The thieves in Clifton are the best of the best.
The best answer: NKU.
If that's not an option, my only advice is: don't pack anything in your car that you are unwilling to lose.
Sorry. I hate to be so negative, I really do. However, the administrative stupidity of the administration will never change.
but then the thieves would carry the gun off campus and problem solved!
"Just blame Sixto"
I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.
but I would have researched a little more and made sure that you were not in violation of any state law...first...
Then I would have purchased a small car safe...chances of the university searching your car are 'zip to none'...
If you needed a weapon...and didn't have one...you might not be attending the university anymore anyway...
Stay armed...stay safe...legally!

Dear Babe: My family was very good friends of Lou Gehrig. He was at my grandmother's house many, many times. I have my mother's autograph book. Lou wrote a message in it and signed it. The autograph reads: "To Peg: The queen of lovely and regular girls — With kindest personal regards. Cordially, Lou Gehrig." He had a very nice handwriting.
— M.C., Nashua, N.H.
Gehrig is a New York Yankees Hall of Famer known as the "Iron Man." He is a true iconic figure among collectors. While Cal Ripken Jr. may have surpassed his once-thought unbreakable record of 2,130 consecutive games in the major leagues, the appetite for Gehrig memorabilia has not waned.
He was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in 1939. He died June 2, 1941. Many refer to ALS as Lou Gehrig's disease.
Gehrig had 1,995 runs batted in (RBIs) in 17 seasons. His career batting average was a whopping .340. Gehrig owns three of the top six RBI seasons in baseball. He was selected to each of the first seven All-Star games, but he did not play in the 1939 game. He retired a week before it was scheduled to be played.
He was the American League's Most Valuable Player (MVP) in 1927 and 1936.
He won the Triple Crown in 1934, leading the AL in batting average, home runs and RBIs.
Gehrig was the all-time leader with 23 grand slams for seven decades until Alex Rodriguez tied him. If Rodriguez doesn't return from his latest injury and alleged drug woes, the record should stand for a long time. There are a number of current players with 12 slams, but, based on their ages, it doesn't appear as if any have a real shot at the record.
Gehrig is often on the mind of sports fans these days because of another heroic battle being waged against ALS by former New Orleans Saints player Steve Gleason.
Gleason was a free agent signed in 2000 by the Indianapolis Colts. Gleason, using a computer that synthesizes his voice, announced the Saints two third-round picks in the recent NFL draft.
His appearance on the New York draft stage came just a few days after he returned from a seven-day trip to Peru.
Now back to our regularly scheduled answer.
This type of signature would probably be considered a "cutie," an autograph that would end up being displayed matted (so only his name appears) with a photo. The fact that it is personalized makes a big difference in value. The best scenario would be if the letters in his name don't touch any other words.
Mike Heffner, president of www.Lelands.com, said this type of Gehrig sig would be worth $3,000, but dropped the value to $2,000-$2,500 because of the personalization. Mike Gutierrez, consignment director for Heritage Auctions (www.ha.com) put it in the $1,600-$2,000 range, saying that since it was personalized it would be toward the lower end.

I was never a big fan of Tron, only seen it a couple of times really and the last time was quite a while ago. So it's safe to say that I'm not immersed in this mythology or care about it any more than anything else. To me it was a cheesy little film with a goofy look but an interesting concept and some groundbreaking FX work for that time.
But the previews of Tron Legacy had me pumped with its amazing visuals and stellar looking special effects, plus the thing was in 3D so it promised a good time at the theater. And it was, sort of, up to a point.
The film opens up a few years after Kevin Flynn has discovered that his computer program is alive and can freely enter its world and build it up making him a multi millionaire computer programer. But one day he enters this world and never comes back leaving his son behind who grows up to be a rebellious youth interested in extreme sports and motorcycles, because he's so angry his daddy left him you see. But as a largest shareholder in his fathers company he has the time and money to sulk and be as extreme as he wants to be which comes in handy later on.
After his father's long time partner receives a message on his pager (who the hell still uses a pager?) young Sam Flynn goes to his dad's old arcade and is promptly zapped to The Grid when he boots up the old computer.
The world of The Grid is a new rave paradise and looks amazing in fact but it was sort of a parallel universe where programs with personalities mingled and frolicked just like in the real world but with a cooler look and Daft Punk DJing at the local club. Yes the programs go to clubs and restaurants. Sam is right away thrust in to this fascist world where Clu, a computer copy of Kevin Flynn that has rebelled against its creator and imprisoned him in a swanky looking villa over looking the center of The Grid, rules supreme and plans a evil scheme to take over world, his and ours. With the help of a program trained by Kevin Flynn, Sam must defeat Clu and his red striped minions before he gets out to make a perfect world free of imperfections.
The story behind Tron: Legacy is as simple as it can get and plays out exactly like I thought it would. Bits and pieces of other fan favorite genre films are thrown in for good measure, the messianic plot of The Matrix and Star Wars mostly. It's the world that director Joseph Kosinski that bugged me the most. Why is there rain in The Grid? Why do some of the programs have wacky personalities like Michael Sheen's Zuse while others are cold and robotic? There is even a hobo program sitting in an alley drinking digital alcohol. I guess that if everything in this world would be like a computer there wouldn't be much of a story and it would all be rather bland over all but these things are never explained, like the rocky and rough terrain surrounding The Grid, where Kevin Flynn lives. Why would such a area exist inside a computer? And it's also a good thing Sam Flynn grew up liking extreme sports and motorcycles, instead of a soft bodied computer nerd that he would probably grow up as in the real world. I'm sure "Star Wars Kid" vs Tron wasn't exciting enough, though it would be quite funny.
It's the look of the film that is the winner, along with the sound design and fantastic sound track by Daft Punk. It's a designer's wet dream to immerse himself in a world like this and I want to own every piece of equipment shown in the film. The 3D element works well but wasn't used as much as I thought it would but in the action scenes, the light cycle fight for one, it really shone. I was worried that young looking Jeff Bridges that was created for this film wouldn't work, especially the iffy lip movements shown in the trailer but most of the time it's quite successful. I just really wish I didn't know that he was computer generated because every time he was on screen I was looking for imperfections in the CG performance. I'm glad to say that they were few.
The real performances were fine, though Garrett Hedlunds reminded me of Hayden Christensen's performance in Episode 3, and in looks sometimes. The young upstarts with daddy issues being all angry at the world for no apparent reason. Jeff Bridges is good, his hippy, zen personality clashing with the computer world that he has created. His performance was the only one with a hint of comedy thrown in, if you didn't find Michael Sheen funny that is, and I didn't, I just found it weird, over the top and out of place.
The real stars of this film are its designers, both visual and sound and that's really what is going to draw people to the theater. The story is safe and hits all the right beats for a cliché ridden story but those looking for something deeper than fancy visuals and a great score need to look elsewhere.
But you bet your ass I will be picking this up when it hits Blu Ray because I'm sure it's going to look aces.

In March, she won the Abierta del Centro, while also claiming four national junior titles in 2012.
Acosta was a member of the Argentinian team that won the 2012 Copa Los Andes. As an individual, she finished third at the South American Junior Championship in 2012 and sixth in 2013.
The Comandante Nicanor Otamendi, Argentina, native also won the 2009 Doral-Publix Junior Golf Classic and posted two Top-10 finishes (2011, 2013) at the Junior Orange Bowl International Golf Championship.
"She is an amazing player and will be a tremendous addition to our team," assistant coach John Koskinen said. "Both Delfy and Daniela are ranked in the Top 100 in the WAGR and have been playing against the best players in the world."

For the past few years, I've bought cheap rechargeable spotlights from Wally World. Each one would only last the duration of the season. This year I wanted to go with one that's not rechargeable or restricted to a 12v hookup. I have been looking at a few lights that were all LED. I've got to admit, I was a little skeptical about the brightness of a LED spotlight. But, I was surprised by how bright it is and how long the battery life is. I picked up this super lite and compact spotlight for around $40. So far, I'm extremely impressed and happy with my purchase. We'll see if it can make it through the rigors of the season.
Has anyone used this light or any of the cyclops products? If so, what was your experience?

Bugs? Pests? Help
Im having lots of bugs swimming around my tank... How do you control them?
The first step is to identify these bugs. Are they actual insects, or worms in the water? Or perhaps they are copepods?
maybe baby snails? or nematodes?
Unfortunately lots of us learn to live with copapods in the shrimp tanks. In fish tanks they get eaten so you hardly ever see them.
Ya don't flip out. Bugs are usually a good sign that your tank is on the right path to being a "natual" environment. Or your overfeeding and not cleaning up the leftovers
Be sure to check out the sticky at the top of the forum. There is a thread to help identify fauna in the aquarium and tell you if it's harmful or not.
I think they are seed shrimps and tubiflex...

Burqa prevented rape: Leslie
"When I put on the burqa, people were more respectful" ... Michelle Leslie.
Photo: Jacky Ghossein
Model Michelle Leslie wore a burqa during her stay in a Balinese prison on drugs charges to avoid being raped, she says.
In an interview with New Idea magazine, Leslie revealed she wore the traditional Muslim headdress to protect herself from men inside the prison she feared would rape her.
Leslie said she awoke in the Kerobokan prison one night to find a man sitting on the end of her mattress, laughing and singing: "Jiggyjig Missa Leslie. Bali holiday. Jiggyjig".
"I knew jiggyjig translated into having sex," Leslie told New Idea.
"He was saying Australian model and stroking my leg. I screamed: 'Get out of here!'."
Leslie said she was aware another woman was being taken from her cell regularly for sex, and realised her fate would be the same if she didn't act.
"I decided to dress in the Muslim burqa. I chose to wear Muslim dress for one reason and one reason only - to protect myself," she said.
"When I put on the burqa, people were more respectful and I'm sorry if anyone is offended by that. But over there, it's a case of whatever gets you through. I think anyone else would have done the same."
Leslie, 25, was convicted of drugs possession in Bali in August last year following the discovery of two ecstasy tablets in her handbag.
She was sentenced in November last year to three months' in jail, which covered the time she had spent in custody.
The model was criticised by some Muslim leaders for wearing a burqa during parts of her trial in the world's largest Muslim nation, and then opting for tight jeans and a singlet upon her release from jail.
Days after returning to Australia, Leslie said she chose to wear the burqa because it was a "sign of public privacy and modesty".
"I am a Muslim and I do understand the significance of wearing the burqa. I should have thought more carefully about wearing it in that situation and I apologise for any offence I have caused. It was an extreme situation," she said at the time.
Leslie now says she is not a practising Muslim but was inspired by her time living with a Muslim family.
"I'd been living with an Islamic family in Sydney for about three years before I was arrested in Bali," she said.
"I thought their beliefs were very beautiful and spiritual. So I decided I would adopt those beliefs over there.
"Am I the most religious person in the world? No, I am not.
"Am I a Muslim? I'm not a practising Muslim.
"Do I pray every day? No.
"Do I speak to Islamic leaders in the community? Yes.
"But it's important that people understand there are different levels of people's beliefs.
"Everybody I met in prison has turned to religion in their darkest moments. It gives you strength. It gives you hope. It gives you something to hold on to."
Leslie insisted her embrace of religion was not a ploy for sympathy because her judges were Christian and Hindu.

This treatment bothers me because I am not sure how it works. However, I am thrilled because IT WORKED for me. My jaw line is tight, the vertical lines are gone and my skin just tightened up unbelievably. It looks very natural--just like I looked 20 years ago. (I'm 61).

This treatment bothers me because I am not sure...
The only really bad thing about this procedure is three days of pretty unsightly swelling. (Icing is essential.) I had to have it done about 5 times to get "perfect" results. However, it I had just wanted "improvement" I could have stopped with 3. Dr. D is very patient and I ask a LOT of questions.

text: SFL GTG 2004 Share Comments SFLGTG – FEBRUARY 28, 2004. MARKHAM PARK, SUNRISE, FL. Let's be honest for a moment. As far as the VW tuning and aftermarket scene goes, VW enthusiasts from the state of Florida have long suffered from a sort of inferiority complex. And I know this as truth, for I am a Floridian. Being geographically situated in the Deep South and all which that implies as far as automotive trends and styling are concerned (NOPI, anyone?), Florida Dub-heads have often suffered in silence as we've watched practically every other part of the country provide VW freaks with a seemingly endless array of top-quality shows with top-quality cars and huge spectator turnouts. In the past, if we Floridians wanted to be a part of any of these events, we simply had to suck it up and travel thousands of miles, which we did. But now, if we do attend these other shows, it'll be because we want to and not because we need to. You see, we Floridians, in fact we Southerners, now have our own event which can hang with the best from around the nation. This event is called the South Florida Get-Together, or SFLGTG, for short. 2004's event was most certainly not the first (there have now been 12 SFLGTGs), but it was most definitely the biggest. Stats? How about 525 cars, over 1,200 people, 1,280 hamburgers and buns, 400 hot dogs and buns, 1,440 sodas, and some 384 bottles of water. Markham Park is where these events are held, and it's a very clean, spacious venue with a decidedly family-friendly environment and its close proximity to several major highways makes it ideal for those people traveling from far away. Late February in South Florida typically brings beautiful weather and this year was no exception – sunny skies, mid-70 degree temps and a nice breeze made the event even more enjoyable for all. I'd be remiss at this point, if I did not mention that this SFLGTG, as well as others past, is not your typical car show. For the most part, it's a free event (minus the token one dollar admission the park itself charges all who enter) and there are no judges or crazy displays for people to stress over. It truly is just a simple, friendly get-together – a place where VW/Audi enthusiasts can hang out, eat some burgers, and perhaps buy a thing or two from some of the many vendors on hand. The Title Sponsors for the 2004 SFLGTG were APR and Gunther VW of Coconut Creek. Other sponsors/vendors who helped make this year's event such a huge success were Edge Racing, Forge Motorsport, D&N, CEC Wheels, Unforgettable Sound and Performance, LR Engineering, JL Audio, Velocity Factor, VWvortex.com, VWFix.com, VWFlixx.com, Eurotuner, Autobahn Exclusive, durty dubs, Autobahn Touring, SFLB5.com, QuickVWs.com, and Jax Dubs. I got a late start for the event, and considering my point of departure (Sarasota, FL) is some 190 miles away from Sunrise, it was a good thing I had my trusty W12 Phaeton as transportation. Well, it wasn't exactly mine, so to speak – it was on loan from VWoA for an upcoming article for VWvortex. Still, one couldn't ask for a better car in which to make a quick 400-mile round trip jaunt down to the best damn VW event the South has ever seen. I didn't get there till a little before 1:00p, and I fear I may have missed a few attendees who might have exited the event a bit early, but my late arrival didn't lessen the impact of seeing some 500 or so Volkswagens and Audis sprawled across a beautiful grassy field. A wonderful sight, indeed. VWvortex would like to congratulate all those who were instrumental in making this year's SFLGTG such an unqualified success, and as a Florida-dwelling VW/Audi enthusiast, I'd like to personally express my gratitude at the very same time for finally putting our state on the (quality VW/Audi event) map. We can only imagine what next year's event has in store, and rest assured VWvortex will be there to bring the rest of you our coverage. But next year, VWoA, I'd like a nice Bentley Continental GT for the weekend, if you don't mind. W12 Phaetons are so played out, don't you know… For more discussion on this story, click on the link to our discussion forums to the left.

The 2007 Oregon legislature directed the Oregon Transportation Commission (OTC) to develop tolling policy recommendations so that if the State decides to pursue tolling, it will have a consistent framework and foundation on which to develop, implement and evaluate potential projects.
The OTC Reviewed and assessed potential effects of highway tolling and pricing to determine if and how tolling could be applied in Oregon. It then commissioned seven white papers to evaluate and understand several technical tolling issues and their implications to motorists, the transportation system and communities in Oregon. The papers were completed in February 2009 and discuss the following concepts:
The final white papers were presented to transportation stakeholders for feedback in spring of 2009.
ODOT is gathering information and narrowing the options for a discussion of tolling and pricing in Oregon. The OTC will review stakeholder feedback and then consider if and how pricing should be applied in Oregon.
Tolling and congestion pricing have evolving definitions of terms which may be used by different people to mean different things. To be clear, we have defined the following terms which are used in the seven white papers and highlights.
High occupancy toll (HOT) lanes – Travel lanes restricted to either qualifying HOVs or solo drivers willing to pay a toll. The toll typically varies by time of day or traffic levels and is collected electronically. Managed toll lane - Any toll lane that uses variably priced tolls to maintain superior, less congested travel conditions. Area/Cordon tolling - Vehicles are charged to travel into or within a high activity center, such as a downtown or business district. Prices may vary by time of day to encourage motorists to enter the zone during less busy times or to use transit. System tolling - Implementing tolls on all highways and major arterials in a region to reduce congestion, minimize route diversion and increase transportation revenues.
Congestion pricing – An overarching term used to describe measures that reduce congestion by charging drivers tolls that vary by time of day or traffic volumes. Tolling - Charging a price to use a road, bridge or tunnel. Flat rate - Toll rates that don't change. Variable/dynamic - A toll that changes by time of day, traffic volumes or other factor. Dynamic tolls change in response to real-time conditions. Electronic tolling - Using technology to collect tolls from drivers without requiring them to stop and make cash payments.
Tolling White Paper Process Overview (PDF)

LARTS 252 – Origins and History of Drama
Theater is a part of the developing story of every human culture, an inherent paradox – the attempt to explore psychological depths and spiritual mysteries in a controlled scheme. The course examines the origins of European drama and traces its development through key transitional periods. Plays are chosen according to what is being produced locally and according to shared thematic content. Students attend at least one play in performance. (2 credits, GE) Keppel
LARTS 257 – The Romantic Movement
This interdisciplinary course will focus on Romantic writers. To contextualize and enrich our literary explorations, we will simultaneously study romanticist innovations in music, the visual arts, and intellectual thought. (2 credits, GE) Gatlin
LARTS 425 – Cultural Capital: London, 1851-1914: Culture, Politics, and Society in the Age of Empire
This course studies the cultural, social and political life of London – the greatest city in the 19th century world. We will examine the physical, social, and political innovations that shaped modern London; discuss the artists, writers, and musicians who flocked to this great market for culture; look closely at the lives of the workers who sustained that great enterprise; consider the roles of the men and women who made their lives in – and around – this great city; and inquire into the psychology behind the greatest metropolis that European culture had ever created. (2 credits, GE) Klein
LARTS 426 – Cultural Capital: Paris, 1848-1919: Culture, Politics, and Society in the Belle Epoque
This course studies the cultural, social, and political events of modern Paris – the city Walter Benjamin once dubbed 'the capital of the 19th century.' Students will read, view, and listen to the revolutionary artists who defined the modern age: we will analyze such crucial achievements as the novels of Zola, the paintings of the Impressionists, the music of Satie, and the edifice of Eiffel. We will examine the society that was both exasperated and enthralled by that new generation of young artists, the society that made fashion, display, and consumption achievements in their own right. And we will look at the political upheavals that took shape around – and gave shape to – these revolutionary ideas of the modern age. Cultural Capital: Paris, 1848-1919 will study how a great modern city took shape, even as the men and women who lived there made it the cultural capital of the contemporary world. (2 credits, GE) Klein
LARTS 456 – Food for Thought: Representations of Food in Literature and Culture
This course examines the artistic, cultural, personal, and political significance of food on local and global scales. Through literature, critical essays, films, and personal observations, students will explore a menu of topics including: food as artistic inspiration; as entertainment, nourishment, and tradition; as object of desire and abhorrence; as tool of seduction and resistance; and as focal point in debates about health, disease, hunger, consumer culture, gender, race, class, nationality, colonization, social justice, genetic modification, and environmental degradation. (2 credits, GE) Gatlin
LARTS 458 – Consumer Culture: Stuff, Shopping, Self, and Society
How does consumer culture affect psyches and societies? Applying cultural theory to popular culture and daily life, this course explores consumerism as a source of happiness and depression, bonding and anti-socialness, creativity and conformity, subversive power and psychological manipulation, community and social injustice, and survival and ecological degradation. We'll investigate consumer, producer, laborer, and citizen identities; competitive displays of taste and status; the commodification of objects, leisure, pleasure, and the arts; sites of consumption (the mall, Internet); and culture jamming, resistance, and economic alternatives. (2 credits, GE) Gatlin
LARTS 461 – Modernism
"Make it new!" demanded modernist poet Ezra Pound. This interdisciplinary course will focus on the "new" literary styles and statements of modernist writers who sought to represent a world characterized by rapid social and technological changes. Students will study not only "high modernism" but also the Harlem Renaissance and the Proletarian movement. To contextualize and enrich our literary explorations, we will simultaneously study modernist innovations in music, the visual arts, and intellectual thought. (2 credits, GE) Gatlin
LARTS 462 – Postmodernism
This interdisciplinary course will focus on the literary styles and statements of postmodernist writers, whose work has been variously characterized as "the sheer pleasure of . . . invention" and as "modernism with the optimism taken out." To contextualize and enrich our literary explorations, we will simultaneously study postmodernist innovations in music, the visual arts, and intellectual thought. (2 credits, GE) Gatlin
LARTS 468 – Bio-Culture: Nature, Gender and Sexuality
This course examines three recent trends in Cultural Studies: Green Cultural Studies, Gender Theory, and Queer Theory. These fields investigate what is "natural" and what is socially constructed about nature, gender, and sexuality, respectively, working toward more complex understandings of binaries including nature/culture, nature/nurture, and the biological/cultural. In addition to asking what nature, gender, and sexuality are, we will explore what they mean in contemporary culture. How do our understandings of these terms affect our interactions with human and nonhuman others; our social structures and ecological values; and our sense of identity, performance of identity, and self-expression? What does it mean to live in an era of ecological crisis, gender-bending, and polarized public discourse on sexuality? What are the implications of the ways we represent nature, gender, and sexuality in the arts and popular culture? (2 credits, GE) Gatlin
LARTS 474 – Crime and Punishment: Dostoyevsky and 19th Century Political Philosophy
Crime and Punishment offers students the opportunity to read and discuss one of the great works of modern social, political, and philosophical literature in the context of 19th century European politics and society. Students will review the writings of Chernyshevsky and Turgenev, two of Dostoevsky's most important contemporaries, then assess both their political views, and their influence on the central argument of Dostoyevsky's great work. (1 credit, GE) Klein
LARTS 481 – Cultural History of India
This course is a study of the history of Indian culture beginning with the advent of Hinduism (c. 1500 BC), through the growth of Buddhism (c. 563– 200 BC), the "classical era" (c. 320–647 AD), the period of Islamic influence (1200–1750 AD), and the modern era, drawing on such forms of cultural expression as philosophy, literature, science, architecture, and the visual and performing arts. Examples include the Bhagavad Gita and Ramayana, the invention of algebra, Hindu and Islamic architecture (e.g. Taj Mahal), Bharata Natyam (classical dance), and miniature paintings. (2 credits, GE) Row
LARTS 490A – Advanced Seminar: Freud: The Personal and Social Theories of Freudian Psychoanalysis in the Modern Age
This Advanced Seminar offers close reading, discussion, and analysis of critical works by the leading psycho-analytic theorist of the 20th century, Sigmund Freud. In a sense, we are all Freudians now, and our readings will help us to understand not only his controversial ideas and insights, but how they developed over Freud's long career; how and why he applied his personal analytic style to religion, culture; and – ultimately – the entire civilization, and what that meant not only for his own generation, but for modernity and the modern world. (2 credits, GE) Klein
LARTS 490D – Advanced Seminar: Film and Politics
Film and Politics looks at contemporary political issues through the lens of mainstream American movies. Students will examine and discuss the artistic efforts to portray such issues as the changing roles of women and the place of gender, racial injustice and civil rights, war and American international policies, terrorism, immigration, work, and class, along with the still larger questions of political freedom and government power. We will consider film as historical narrative, as satire, and as allegory, focusing on questions of how presentation, genre, and action help shape our thinking about critical issues confronting the American people. (2 credits, GE) Klein
LARTS 490E – Advanced Seminar: The Doppelganger
This seminar examines psychological, anthropological, and artistic explorations of the Doppelganger, or Double. A figure common to all cultures in some form or another, the Doppelganger is a ghostly image of a person's deepest fears or desires. When a period of crisis challenges or shatters the very psychological or social structures designed to keep those fears and desires hidden, the doppelganger arises and haunts the person, demanding acknowledgment if not complete acceptance. Although the person's familiar identity no longer provides a safe retreat, his/her first reaction is often to try to hide behind it (or behind disguised versions of it); as a result he/she becomes trapped in a kind of delusory underworld, a hall of mirrors. On the other hand, since the doppelganger is the embodiment of one's deepest secrets, it is also one's "familiar," one's best, most intimate friend. Some find as a result that their doppelgangers have arisen not to destroy them, but rather to save them, to release them from selfimprisonment so that they might reconcile conflicting aspects of themselves and become 'whole.' Texts include analyses by Rank, Freud, and Jung; poems and stories by Ovid, Hoffmann, Stevenson, Conrad, Gilman and Cortazar; and films by Kieslowski and Kurosawa. (2 credits, GE) Keppel
LARTS 490F – Modern Political Philosophy
Modern Political Philosophy studies the works of major political thinkers from Machiavelli's Early Modern ideas to our own age. Studies will read, analyze, and discuss the writings of such luminaries as Machiavelli, Hobbes, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Mary Wollstonecraft, John Stuart Mill, Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche, Antonio Gramsci, Friedrich Hayek, and Simone de Beauvoir. Together we will explore the major themes of modern political thought: the origins of nation and state, the conflict of individual freedom and community solidarity; the ideas of class and nationality; the struggle for gender rights against authoritarian privilege; and the clash between traditional values and personal autonomy. (2 credits, GE) Klein

Why is it that so many militant smokers know just that much of the quote and never give it the context? It was clearly something said as self-effacing humor, and I believe it was part of a speech to a convention of like-minded people, wasn't it? I don't recall, personally, how he finished the sentence. Hang on a sec, I'll google it and see if I can find something useful or if I get swamped by all the vindictive partial quotes from smokers.<quoted text>
Well, Mr. Reynolds has plenty of company within the anti-smoker movement. Stanton Glantz commented, ""The main thing the science has done on the issue of ETS, in addition to help people like me pay mortgages" and the infamous John Banzhaf
Still there? Okay. Well, I didn't find anything direct. The best I could find was an article mentioning a reference in a book by a militant smoker.
It seems the real gist of the sentence is that the science has made it acceptable for the people who were having problems with secondhand smoke to speak their minds and demand that something be done. "Legitimizing" their concern is apparently how he phrased it.
Strange that you folk almost always get all indignant about the comic relief he built into his statement. All that does is make you seem devoid of any sense of humor on top of deceitful.

Facebook User Offers Critique of KCOL Mornings
Dear KCOL;
I would like to take this opportunity to bestow an award. John Clark recently coined the term "MFB" (manure for brains) and no one deserves this award more than Mr. Clark himself and his boneheaded sidekick Jennifer Morgan (you know, the one whose vocabulary primarily consists of "yeah" and "uh huh"). I have honestly heard high school radio broadcasts that are more professional than the pathetic dribble spewed forth by these two. In addition Mr. Clark routinely makes up his own facts to support his idealogical positions. Examples recently included "marijuana is three and one half times more addictive than alcohol" and "president Obama has issued more executive orders than all previous presidents combined". I could go on. According to the Mayo Clinic, marijuana is in fact significantly less addictive than tobacco, alcohol, heroin and cocaine. And University of California Santa Barbara places Obama second from the bottom in terms of post WWII presidents executive orders. For the few of you who listen to this program (as for me it is for comic relief) don't believe anything Mr. Clark or his sidekick spew forth in the morning. As they say "you are entitled to your opinion but not your own facts".

Today i'm going to swap 3.38 differential.
I'm going to do 3.38 swap today but before the swap i wanted to test my 330ci 6 speed with 2.93 differential, "on my private 1/8 mile rode" for acceleration. I just did one rune and it felt like a good rune so i didn't bother doing another one, so my time was x.xx at 78.914 mph
My mods so far are: headers and intake + weight reduction 200lb lighter then regular 330ci LOL.
My weight reduction brakes down 2 ways, first 100lb are spare tire, tools, jack and .... that add up to 100lb and 2nd part is to keep my fuel tank around 5 gall because 12 gallons of fuel is about 100lb.
I feel nauseous...
1 gallon of gas=6.073 lb
12 gallons = 72.876
spare tire + jack + tools does not add up 100 lbs. Unless you use lead wheels.
this is what happens when r!cers convert over to BMW. the mind comes along with it.
1. Take spare tire out of trunk
2. Keep no more than 5 gallons in fuel tank.
3. ?
4. Because racecar
Every thread this guy makes gets knocked on lmao
Sent from my SGH-T959V using Bimmer App
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using Bimmer App
unless it causes you to do another shift to reach the end it will certainly gain.
if you had done like a 40-60 time i'm sure that would have shown more it's gains
Now talking about ***** I would never drop i or ci or put some cheep H&R springs that make bmw rides like **** and looks VERY RICY just ghetto
As i removed those parts i weighted on digital scale.
spare tire + Jack + tools+ wheal cover + ruber mat in the trunk + leather bag with book in glow boks, rear head suport and moonroof sliding winall that always brake in these cars:facepalm: easy 100lb I did't want to type that all.
By the way everything went well, I love how i can drive 40 mph in 6th gear. Will do 1/8 mile rune maybe tomorrow to see if its any better at acceleration on a drag.
2. I fill full tank and when i have 5-7 gallons left i run test on them.
3. Now what are you going to say.
4. Because i can and able to play.
:banghead:These use to be better forum like 4-5 years ago but ass holes like you guys that think that these car got so cheaper that ricers can buy them.:banghead:
It only shines on 1/4 or 1/8 off a mile, which is why i ran 1/8 of a mile to see my speed at 1/8 with 2.93 of a mile by the way that is faster then zhp, I was somewhat surprise.
I swapped this differential mainly because most of my driving is 40-60 mph and i hate to shift all the time from 5th to 6th or 6th to 5th.
cool story bro. btw H&R makes some of the best suspensions for our cars ;) dont talk shyt! im mad cuz i got the cupkit and u insulted pplzs.
\/ And they were H&R:D
^ u get wat u pay for :D

Homework: Get Acquained With Unix
Before doing the lab exercises on the fourth day of class, you should be prepared to be able to login to one of the systems and be familiar with some basics. You can do these exercises in your spare time from your office or home, so that you can easily start the lab exercises and focus on learning Perl.
- If you do not have an account on ada, visit the Howto Guide for instructions.
- Login to ada. (For additional details
check here.) So, for example, if you are using ssh
and your login name is mylogin, you would type:
ssh mylogin@ada
Once you've entered your password, you will be logged into ada.
- Print your working directory:
which should output your home directory. On ada, that would be /g/home/mylogin.
- List the contents of your home directory:
which should output a list of files, such as README.
- Get a detailed listing:
ls -l
Now, you'll see detailed information on each file, including permissions, ownership, file size, and modification date.
- List "hidden" files:
ls -lA
The list includes the "hidden" files, which are just the files which start with a period (dot files). These are usually the startup files, like .bashrc or .profile.
- View the README file:
less README
The less program shows you the contents of a file, page by page. Each time you hit the spacebar, it will scroll down one page. You can also use the arrow keys, the Page Up and Page Down keys, etc.. To quit, just hit the "q" key. For help on other key commands, hit "h".
- Change your working directory:
cd /scratch/user/mylogin
This will change to your scratch directory. Confirm this by using the pwd command. You can list the files there as well. There should be a directory called tmp there, along with any other files you created.
- Create a new directory:
mkdir xyz123
List the contents again with ls -l to see this new subdirectory.
- Change your working directory again:
cd xyz123
This will change to the directory you just created. Notice that without any slashes ("/") to start the name of the directory xyz123, the cd command starts looking in the current working directory. This is called a relative path. So, from your scratch directory, "xyz123" is the same as "/scratch/user/mylogin/xyz123". The first form is a relative path and the second is an absolute path (sometimes referred to as a full path).
- Now that you're in the xyz123 subdirectory,
create a file called simple.txt. First, pick
which editor you will use. (For details on text editor, see
check here.) Assuming you are on ada
and you want to use nano, you would
nano simple.txt
Your terminal screen will now be cleared and the top line will indicate "File: simple.txt". At the bottom of the window, it will have a list of the key commands you can use. For example: "^X Exit" means that by holding the "Control" key and hitting "x", you will exit the editor.
- Type a few sentences and then save the file using the "^O" key command (write out). Then, use the "^X" key command (exit) to go back to your normal terminal prompt.
- List the directory:
ls -l
You should see a line for the new file, simple.txt, which shows who owns it (you), the group owner (users), the number of bytes in the file, the the date it was last changed.
- View your file:
less simple.txt
Since it's a short file, there are not multiple pages to go through, just the one. To quit, just hit the spacebar or "q" key.
- View your file with cat:
cat simple.txt
This simply outputs the file without pausing. If you use cat on a large file, like README, the hundreds of lines will scroll past very quickly.
- Rename your file from simple.txt to
mv simple.txt other.txt
List your directory to see that the name has changed. If you try to use less or cat on simple.txt, you'll get an error.
- Make a copy of other.txt, called
cp other.txt something.txt
List your directory to see that you now have two files.
- Edit something.txt:
nano something.txt
Add a few new lines to it. Save and quit. List the files again to verify that the size has changed.
- View both files:
less other.txt something.txt
Hit the spacebar to go from one file to the next, or use the "q" key to quit.
- Remove other.txt:
rm -i other.txt
The -i option is for "interactive", which means you will be asked to confirm the deletion. It is good practice to use this option to avoid accidentally deleting files. List your directory again to see there is only one file remaining.
- Remove something.txt:
rm -i something.txt
Now your subdirectory xyz123 should be empty.
- Change back to the directory above:
cd ..
Confirm that you are in /scratch/mylogin with the pwd command.
- Remove the xyz123 directory:
rmdir xyz123
If you have any files or subdirectories in xyz123, you can't remove it. In this case, you should have no problems.
- Logout of ada:
You can also use "^D" (control-d).
These simple exercises should be enough for you to be able to do the laboratory exercises. To learn more about basic Unix commands, go to the New User Information page, and look under the Getting Started section for links to additional information. Read the Introduction to Unix and Basic Unix Commands pages. Experiment with the commands while you are logged into the system.

WARNING: This book is intended for men. If you are a woman (especially a woman of child-bearing age), please stop reading immediately. Please! We don't read your girls-only books like "Our Bodies, Ourselves" or "The Color Purple," do we???Heres part of the introduction:So—you're going to be a Dad. By now your wife has picked up several informative books, like "What To Expect When You're Expecting," and "The Pregnancy Survival Guide". These are good, solid texts with lots of helpful information, if you're a woman. But what about us men? What will prepare us for our destiny as Dads? Surely not those books with a decidedly female slant, medical information, and serious discussions of pregnancy-related changes in a woman's body. Eeeeeew. This book is not meant to be scientific or medical in any way. And it is definitely not written for the girls. It will, however, clue you in on a few important things you guys need to know now that your wife is pregnant. In it, you'll learn about:* Baby care task-avoidance techniques.* Family financial matters (how to declare bankruptcy without giving up your boat).* All kinds of medical stuff that might freak you out.* How to deal with (evade) sex during pregnancy.* How to deal with the dearth of sex that follows pregnancy.* Why you should never, ever, talk to a woman who is breast-feeding.* How to keep regurgitated baby food off of your Armani.*And much, much more.Heres an example of the valuable information youll gain, from Chapter V, Baby-proofing your house:Baby-proofing the house is a simple procedure all new parents must go through, whereby they make their dwelling into one big cushioned safe-area for the baby. This basically turns your entire house into one of those padded rooms in which they lock insane people — a completely appropriate decor for a new parent like you.As the parent of this new young, vibrant, clueless life form, it's up to you to protect it from injury, even if this means making a few sacrifices like living the next three years of your life without a coffee table. No, you will not have anywhere to rest your drink while you watch TV, but this is no big deal since you will not be allowed to have a drink in the living room anyway, as the glass may also present a hazard. In fact, you might as well just pack all of your breakable, dangerous dishware into a box right now, and hide it in the attic where it will present no danger until your child grows old enough to sneak into the attic and put his foot through your bedroom ceiling.The most important aspect of baby-proofing your house is the removal or covering-up of the sharp edges present on furniture. If you have expensive furniture which you don't want to get rid of, you'll need to take the covering-up route. This can be accomplished by buying strips of sticky-back foam padding. Once applied, you can not remove this stuff from any form of wood, metal, or plastic, even with a blow torch. A 10 month old teething baby, however, will gnaw it away with little effort. Since the sticky-backed foam is not meant for human consumption (it says so right on the label), once you've applied it to the furniture you will have to then get rid of all that expensive, foam-covered furniture, to prevent your child from poisoning himself. This is why I recommend just throwing all of your furniture away in the first place. Or, in the alternative, you can rent a storage space and put it in there until your child is old enough to obey the words "do not eat or head-butt this," when he gets out of college. By then the furniture will be out of date, and your wife will insist on replacing it. Which brings me back to throwing it away...Read more in the free sample!

Stephens Co. Implements Moratorium on Accepting New Roads for Maintenance
Stephens County Commissioners do not plan to accept any new roads into the county road maintenance system through the end of the year.
On Tuesday, commissioners voted 4 to 1 to impose a temporary moratorium on the acceptance of roads into the county maintenance system for a period up to and including December 31.
County Commission Chair Dean Scarborough proposed the moratorium.
He said it is needed to allow the county to take care of the roads it already has for the time being.
"We have decreased the size of our road department to the point that we are having a difficult time maintaining the roads we currently have on our road list," said Scarborough. "In fact, we have accepted a couple of roads in this year and we have not been able to get to them yet. We need to put a halt on accepting new roads because we cannot get to any new maintenance."
Commissioner Debbie Whitlock was the lone vote against the moratorium.
Whitlock said she has concerns about the moratorium based on phone calls she has received.
"(There are) calls that have come in of people that their road had been changed to a private drive and they never asked for that to happen and the road was not getting serviced anymore," said Whitlock. "If someone comes to me with a road that has been serviced for 20 years or more and E-911 comes in and says you have a private drive and since you have a private drive, (the road department) is not going to service your road, I have a problem with that."
Stephens County Attorney Brian Ranck said that the commission can at anytime extend the moratorium or it can lift the moratorium early if it chooses to do so.
