This week, Hollywood actress and mother Angelina Jolie joined British Foreign Secretary William Hague in leading the world's first summit on ending sexual violence in conflict. The conference aims to result in a practical plan of action to punish prepetrators and help victims heal.
The summit will run from June 10-13 and defines the first international step from Jolie and Hague, who have partnered to combat rape as a weapon of war. The conference is being highly publicized and has a hashtag, #TimetoAct, that is trending in the UK. US Secretary of State John Kerry, over 1,000 government ministers, military and judicial officials and activists from 150 nations are in attendance.
The summit comes after a series of violent incidents against women, like the shooting aimed at women at UCSB, the kidnapping of 200 Nigerian schoolgirls, the fatal beating of a Pakistani woman by her family, and the gang-rape and murder of two "lower-caste" Indian girls. Jolie opened the summit in London by insisting that political prioritized attention was necessary on a global level to combat sexual violence and its roots in the cultural treatment of women.
"It is a myth that rape is an inevitable part of conflict. It is a weapon of war aimed at civilians... done to torture and humiliate people and often to very young children," Jolie said. "We need to see real commitment and go after the worst perpetrators, to fund proper protection for vulnerable people, and to step in to help the worst-affected countries."
Jolie has been involved in humanitarian issues since 2001 when she went to Sierra Leone as a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador and noted the impact of civil war in which an estimated 60,000 women were raped. Her link-up with Hague was sparked by her 2011 directorial debut "In the Land of Blood and Honey" about the 1992 Bosnian war in which an estimated 20,000 women were raped.
The conference strives to demand international standards on recording and investigating sex crimes and focus on prosecuting more prepetrators. Other steps would include strengthening national laws in certain countries, training armies and peacekeepers, and increasing funds to help survivors.

Following last night's thrilling 2-1 Shootout victory over the Chicago Blackhawks, the New Jersey Devils now stand a 99.96% chance of reaching the Stanley Cup Playoffs, according to SportsClubStats.com.
There's have to be a perfect storm of failure and exteme luck for other teams in order for the Devils to miss the playoffs this season so New Jersey hockey fans are ready for playoff action.
Additionally, it appears very likely the Devils will place 6th in the Eastern Conference and face the predicted #3 seed Florida Panthers.
Each team, as well as the rest of the league, still has games remaining so there are sure to be shifts in the standings but as of right now there is an 80% chance of Devils vs Panthers in Round 1.
Across the river, the rival New York Rangers sit in first place following last night's victory in Minnesota combined with the Penguins loss to the Islanders. The Rangers have 103 points to Pittsburgh's 100, each with 6 games remaining including a head-to-head match in Pittsburgh on April 5th which could be the difference in finishing 1st or 4th in the Eastern Conference. Keep an eye open for that showdown, Rangers fans!
Given the current standings, it appears the Rangers are unlikely to finish below fourth, so they will have home ice advantage to start the playoffs for the first time since 1996.
Having already secured a playoff berth, the Rangers now are fighting for position in the standings and to get their game in order.
Of the possible matchups for the New York Rangers, the Buffalo Sabres have the highest probability of being their first round opponent with a 45% chance.
All of this stands to change on a daily basis from now until the end of the NHL regular season on April 7, but what will not change is you can now order Devils playoff tickets and Rangers Playoff tickets at SelectATicket.com and see each team fight to advance in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Possibly even to a head-to-head matchup down the road!

Hold on to your hats, I'm going to be experimenting with some theme and sidebar changes for the blog. Don't be surprised if it looks different than you're used to…
137 thoughts on "Hold on to your hats…"
Hum… Missing your usual header logos. We're getting those back?
How many hits per day did you wind up getting?
I still see some of the colors "white" and "black" on your blog. Doesn't Apple have patents on those? You're going to get sued.
How much are you going to be tinkering with this, Eric? I'm going to need to update my own extension code to support the new formatting and I want to be sure we're in a relatively final state before I do.
Test response.
Yay. I now have an avatar, provided by Gravatar.
Plus the surprise from gravatar. Is the look-up tied to the e-mail address?
Cool. We've got threading now, which is nice. The new formatting is quite different but I should be able to adapt easily enough. I'm experimenting myself now…
Nesting, FTW.
Now only if I could set it so I only need to read new comments.
Nesting is cool, but when it is combined with the much narrower paragraphs and the larger font size we could quickly end up with some extremely squashed conversations!
Eeek! I'm almost kind of sad to see the old style go, but, forward progress onwards!
Theoretically, I should have a gravatar as well.
I'd agree with reducing the font-size by a pt or two, at least for the comments. Large font is nice, but leads to more scrolling and squished comments when heavily nested. And it's not really a usability concern, as all modern browsers allow you to manually adjust the font size.
How many replies is this format going to allow before things get unreadable?
I do like the fact that the blog name is now a link back to home.
Testing nesting. :) I do like the new look.
Interesting, at some point does it stop making the columns ever narrower? We shall see…
Gravatar test
I wonder what email I have for gravatar.
Continued nesting
So it looks like a maximum of four replies. That would probably be ample for most blogs. For Armed and Dangerous? Hmm…
Interesting, I don't see a reply button at this nest level.
Hmm. It looks a little too strange-web-technologies-ish for my preference, but it's readable. Should be interesting.
I like the look of the blog home page, but the individual article pages seem a bit whitespacey to me.
Before the reply button goes away and you can't reply any more.
No more Lazarus Long quotes? A pity. Maybe you can replace them with other quotes, perhaps by Richard Stallman?
On the big black bar at the page top: You might use different bar colors depending on your mood, or the level of controversy in the threads?
Avatar? Maybe?
The problem is, though, that the limit is obviously there because eventually the replies will get so squashed up as to be unreadable.
Just a test to see if I can get my Gravatar to show up by switching to my work email address…
What is it with blog comment themes restricting themselves to tiny widths? I don't see the sense in it. More room for ads on the side? Blogger is even worse in this regard.
Testing with my gravatar name.
OK, I've got my extension updated and tested, if you stick with this layout. I'll hold off on posting it until you decide one way or the other.
If that doesn't work, you could do what I do for my forum signature: I have a script that generates a new image (using fortune, outputting an SVG, then converting it to PNG) every five minutes. Then, I just embed the image.
Can we edit? Testing.
Looks like that would be "no".
I'm sure we'll find out, probably sooner rather than later.
Because it looks "pretty", I guess; nevermind any actual practical consequences of them.
I like threaded/nested comments but there should be an easy way to see which comments are new from the last time a page was viewed… the old non-nested comments weren't too bad in this regard if you could just find the last point you read.
I don't think they would consider those issues to be 'bugs'. They are design tradeoffs they have chosen to make.
Personally I would have made different tradeoffs, but different people have different needs.
Then there's the comment pagination, which is definitely a change.
Personally I don't like it, it plays hell with reading comment threads on a mobile browser (gestures FTW on Dolphin HD).
This makes it difficult to see where new comments are, but does reduce the need to @whoever to make clear to whom you're replying, as well as quoting extensively. But if you're going to do this, give us narrow margins.
Yes. You set up one gravatar and it works everywhere you use that email.
On second thought, it looks like it places a limit on nested replies. Still needs to have smaller margins though. I'm not sure what possesses people to think that wide margins are good.
I suggest dumping comments and using a forum and linking to a top level post somewhere on the bottom of the article.
Not sure if I'm liking the way the comments are handled in this theme.
Quick google result:
Oddly enough, because it makes the site more readable. Narrow columns of text are easier to read because your eyes don't have to shift as far from the end of one line to the beginning of the next.
Nesting limits seem like a silly way to solve the problem– better to revert to one-after-the-other comments if there's no more room for nesting.
Some minor nitpicky requests:
– Make user names larger and/or bold
– Make comment text smaller (only one point smaller should do)
Given how verbose we tend to get here, being able to fit more text on the screen and being able to more-easily identify people (beyond avatars) are wins.
I like the new look. I'm hoping that there will be a most recent comment (not just most recent thread) option so that it's possible to keep track of new comments.
The other problem with comment pagination is that it's much harder to find comments if you have to search multiple pages.
Hmm…they have a comment voting plugin?
I see one.
Agree with both of those.
I may be proved wrong (and I'm sorry to say it, because nesting *is* cool) but I have a feeling that this new style isn't going to be a good fit for this particular blog. The 'threads' on this site continue for tens or even hundreds of comments sometimes. There's just no way to accommodate that kind of tree depth on a web page.
Hopefully I am wrong, but we will see.
I'd forgotten about this gravatar avatar photo as I only see it on one other blog I frequent under this pseudonym.
Wait a minute, anyone see my hat?
It may make it easier as well once we get used to it as we tend to go off topic a lot.
If you can drop the point size one notch and fix the margins I think it'll be better than before if folks reply in the threads.
Either way it'll take time before you can call it better or worse regardless of initial impression.
Overall, I like the new look. A bit much vertical space taken up; scrolling through the comment takes awhile, and it doesn't collapse threads by default; it has them all expanded by default.
Biggest thing I see missing: your comments are not listed as "esr" anymore; they're listed as "admin"!
Hopefully that's an easy fix. Gotta have comments by esr.
I think Eric upped the limit.
It's an interesting design problem because you are forced to make compromises. There is a limited amount of space so you can't just have endless nesting, but on the other hand you want to be able to distinguish between different threads of conversation. But then again, by making the threads easier to recognise you create a new problem of not being able to easily see new comments just by looking at the bottom of the post.
So, you compromise and have nested posting but with a depth limit. But then, when people inevitably go over the limit we will just revert back to having chronological flat posts with people quoting and @ing one another.
You can have new posts highlighted somehow, but that means people will have to scroll through the entire post history to see them.
You want to have strong identities so you enable gravatar, but some people don't use gravatar so they end up with the anonymous face and so you actually might end up with less-strong differentiation between posters than before.
Design. It's all about compromises. What compromises you make depends on your priorities.
One thing I would recommend to everybody is that they hover over one of the gravatar pictures and click 'turn off hover cards'.
That could get a bit annoying otherwise :)
Damn. Is it possible to toggle between the new nested version and the old straight chronological version?
Ideally what we'd want is some sort of hybrid blog/newsgroup, where comment threads are presented auto-collapsed and new posts/updated threads are highlighted in some way. Then you click to expand and read.
I've always envisioned something like that, given the overall Usenet feel of discussions here.
I miss usenet :)
That really was a much more efficient way of having conversations than web-based forums. HTML was just not designed for that sort of interactivity. We a whole protocol designed to be a forum, and we abandoned it! Why?
We are trying to force a medium that was designed for document markup into doing the job of a dedicated protocol, with obviously sub-optimal results.
Mind you, there are still a few decent newsgroups going.
comp.lang.c still has some of the best C gurus hanging out on it.
Not strictly fair. The advantage of the blog form over straight Usenet is a unique degree of moderation (less authoritarian than a moderated group, moreso than an unmoderated one) and a huge increase in organization.
It's all about presentation.
Well it's true. They are different forms. The blog has a unique character engendered by its owner. This one certainly does.
However, as for moderation I wouldn't say that applies very well here :)
Eric is probably one of the most liberal moderators I have ever seen. I am sometimes amazed (in a good way) at the things he lets people say here.
I am sure that we are benefiting from a lot of behind-the-scenes spam filtering that we are never aware of though.
I was really making a comparison between web-based forums (like phpbb) and nntp though, not blogs so much.
I'm afraid of change. I used to have to read 80-250 essay/comments on these blogs in order to understand what conversations were going on and who had said what. Now I will be tempted to scan for replies to my posts, as will others. Looks neat though. Polished…
That. Basic typesetting stuff. Unfortunately for nested comments, you wind up with too-thin columns after a couple of indents. I think the right solution might be to indent the left margin and outdent the right margin with each level. Also I'd like to see outline-style comments so I could collapse threads, like some text-based Usenet readers used to do.
I hate change and all associated with it and demand you change back, instanter.
Okay, actually, I don't. It's fine.
I miss usenet, too. I haven't seen anything as good as trn for following and navigating long discussions.
Doesn't look like it.
OSnews.com has something like that. You can switch between two or three different modes of viewing comments. Not sure if they are using WordPress or not. And, to be honest I am not a huge fan of their comment system. Seems a bit over-complicated to me.
It's funny how the old tools are still the best.
vi FTW!
Change is only progress if it does move you forward. While threaded discussion will be an improvement, I don't think rapidly narrowing columns and ridiculously wide margins are. And I think unreadably narrow columns of text are too high a price for threading.
FYI, it looks WAY better on my Android phone. Before it was almost unusable on mobile. For my, that is worth the price of admission.
Thanks for making a great community.
Looks terrible on my iPhone. Some of the highly nested comments are literally one word per line.
The previous version worked really nicely on the phone.
So our experiences are exactly reversed!
This is getting downright ridiculous, and pretty much unreadable.
ESR passive aggressive perhaps?
This is bad. One of the things that makes A&D better than the average blog is the quality of the comments, which often have more meat in them than other blogs' articles. This formatting makes it very difficult to read the comments.
And $DEITY help us if we do feel the need to use blockquotes in deeply-nested replies
To make this readable, I'll need to use a browser that lets me substitute my own CSS, and then spend time tweaking that CSS. I don't know if it's worth the trouble.
For styling, you might have a look at Bootstrap. It was instrumental in helping me define a style that got my new blog off the ground. Designed by Twitter, and open-source, natch (Apache license).
I dunno if that's a good idea… this might devolve into slashdot, where legitimate comments are downvoted based on groupthink and opinion.
Maybe this has already been suggested.
Many blogs have an option that the user can select how to display the comments: nested or flat, and oldest or newest first. I have no idea whether this is possible with this software.
I wanna see what happens on downvotes…
If you see this post… please downvote.
I agree, usenet was far, far better for arguments because of the way the system was designed. If someone wanted to code a forum system that worked similarly to usenet they could make a name for themselves.
Not sure that nested comments work well for this site. It seems to me the discussions here tend to follow a single thread most of the time, and as others have pointed out, finding new comments requires rescanning the entire comment tree rather than finding the last post you read. Also, while I haven't tried it on a phone yet, and I don't have specific numbers, it certainly feels like this theme adds considerably to the time it takes to load the comments page. Sure this might work for most blogs that have maybe 50 comments on a post on a good day, but I imagine, that you're probably averaging closer to 200 / post (194 on the front page as of the time of this post).
I like following the standard that the blog title links to the home page.
I like the default fonts.
The new template seems to work better with rekonq: http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=4104&cpage=1#comment-368250
Bad: The old next / previous links included the titles of the posts. I miss that.
On the fence: I like threaded comments, but I also like the ability to hop through unread comments (two imperfect solutions: (1) cookies break for users of multiple browsers / machines / VMs; (2) cumbersome sign-ins).
I wonder why usenet fell out of favour. Granted, it is a bit more complicated to set up and get running than just loading up a web forum, but I would have thought that the benefits would outweigh that initial overhead.
If Lazarus Long quotes are meant to appear in sidebar (unless you solve the theme issue to make it appear in header as before), they do not work yet:
Lazarus Long says:
php laz_quote();
Ha! The thought crossed my mind ;)
The problem is that if one person is viewing as nested then they might rely on that to provide context for their reply, rather than using quotes as we used to. If somebody is viewing as chronological then that context is lost.
Boo, can't un-downvote.
BTW, have your tried the new Chrome release on your phone? I hear it is really good.
I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.
Let's see if it finds my gravatar…
Hat is firmly on head…I notice that threaded comments may lead to scanning the comments for something to reply to before hitting the main comment-input at the bottom, where they may initiate a new thread.
I don't know if this is by design or not, nor how it will affect typical commenting practice.
I agree with Winter and maybe all this blog needs is a quote mechanism.
I read more than I comment, and only come here in the evenings (Belgium time), after work. In the old flat style I used to just scroll up from the bottom of the comments to the last comment I remembered reading.
In a nested style, that isn't going to work. (I've been trying to pick up from where I left in the Company X / Hacker discussion ever since this theme change happened. Still lost – 400 comments is way to much to see who added what where).
Nice. It 'knows' if you have already voted, even on a different Virtual Machine. I assume based on the Email field in the 'Leave a Reply' form.
I agree. I didn't mean to imply that we should have nested with no options, I meant that we should have chronological with no options.
The old template had a comment in the source HTML documenting the mark-up tags permitted in comments. I could not find the equivalent in the repository, but it might be a nice link to add to the Comment / Reply form.
I also need to make the font smaller. That, the margins, and the indentation for replies to replies to replies lead to
blocks of
text that
put one
or two
words on
each line
and are
to read.
That and I'd like to go back to putting all the comments in the order they're posted. I don't think I can follow the nested style that well anyway.
If there were an option to somehow highlight all new comments since comment # $foo, then this might be tolerable.
Selfish complaint: the new layout can't be viewed zoomed all the way in without squashing things into a mess (common for flashy modern web design). Please don't change things on my account, but I wonder how many other readers have low vision? The font is also much harder to read than the old one, probably because it's not as bold.
Turning the style off in Firefox makes things a bit better. :-)
Move the avatar for the first-level commenter ABOVE the comment, just like it is for everyone else.
Lose the indentation on the right side for nested comments. Indentation on the left is good enough to get the point across.
I don't have git and don't have time to get git and get to grok git. Work projects are killing me right now.
It's a shame everything's been webified. I wonder how much of that is left over from the drive to escape Microsoft's clutches on the desktop back in the '90s.
One advantage of using web based forums/blogs is that you don't have to worry about which server you connect to in order to get all the feeds. With the web you just type in the address and *boom* you're done.
One fix I have for reading non-nested comments is to read the comments in an rss reader. Unfortunately with the rss reader, it's difficult to understand the conversation because people don't quote in nested replies. At least I can easily see which comments I haven't read and the order in which they were posted.
Well, if this were a democracy ;^), my vote would be for flat comments.
But then again, I learned this stuff on BBSs and 300baud modems, so…
Just some thoughts on the theme.
It looks modern, but there's a lot of whitespace to wade through. The white background hurts my eyes when I stare at it too long. One super useful feature that would be nice is the ability to preview comments.
People say they want nested comments, but they really don't. They'll keep saying they do until they're blue in the face but what they really want is something else which they only think is provided by nested comments. With nested comments it's hard to keep up with the conversation when new posts are scattered throughout the page. You lose the ability to map the chronology of the posts, plus you still have to scroll through the entire page to see if you miss anything. You can get around this with an rss reader and subscribe to each blog post. Then you lose the context of the conversation because people don't quote. In fact, quoting while using nested comments would aggravate the format problems.
I think what people are really saying when they say they want nested comments is that they want threaded comments. In other words, they want the abilities to collapse threads into one line designated by topic title and to have topics with new comments appear at the top or at the bottom of the page.
These functions are already provided by web based forums. Topics are collapsed into titles. Topics with new posts appear in bold at the top. Plus you have the option of going to the last read post in the topic or just going to the beginning or end of the topic. You can fast forward or rewind through the pages, by clicking on page numbers. You can even search the forum for key words or look at a users posts. In fact a forum in which only esr could create new topics would be functionally equivalent to a blog. There are even smartphone apps that you can use to follow forums.
There are problems. A forum below each blog post may be overkill and I don't even know how problematic it would be to dynamically create a forum for each blog post. Esr wants one database for backup and search and the term "forum" is problematic. It implies that the area provided is is there primarily to serve the community while a blog is seen as an entity wholly owned by its creator.
So there are a few solutions. 1) You can have a forum for the entire website. Designate esr as the only person who can create new topics. Then see if you can style it so that it mimics a blog's format, i.e. a new page for each topic with a summary of each topic on the first page of the site. 2) Esr can find some other solution to backup and search which allows multiple databases 3) chuck the whole idea of threaded comments.
I have sometimes suspected some people of leaving comments in long threads, just so they had an anchor point.
Thanks for the tip, it makes it a lot better.
People haven't said they want nested comments, people have claimed to, and actually do, want threaded comments. Nesting is just one, fairly poor, way of showing the threading.
One better way of doing it is the way it's done on Less Wrong, fairly shallow left side nesting, with borders around comments that change after having been viewed. Though even the shallower indenting they use would be too much for some of the threads here.
I kind of like it. It's nice to have a home button to go back to.
This new theme is shit.
The old theme is superior:
1. Packs more information on one screen while at the same time being MORE readable. Too much empty space here.
2. Nested comments is not a great a idea. The threads normally develop linearly and are best consumed by the avid readers of this blog linearly. Nested comments remind me of excessive layering in software (ie make your head spin)
– Old theme uses Sans-serif font. New theme uses Serif font. Serif is less readable on a computer screen.
Conclusion: Old theme is better. If it ain't broke don't fix.
Thanks for the clarification. Looks like I misinterpreted the phenomena I saw as comments starting off as "Yeah nesting!" inevitably followed by all the other comments which say, "Nesting is cool, but…" That's a sign that people are confused about their desires.
Thanks for pointing out Less Wrong. Those comments are better themed much better, but it's very easy to skip replies to comments when they're collapsed. That can be considered a bug or a feature.
I think my critique still stands. Nesting provides minimal benefits and breaks basic features that are useful to read comments. The attempt to use nesting to provide functionality of threading is ultimately doomed. I'm willing to bet some non-existent dollars on that.

Couldn't clone it. Assuming `git clone` is the right way to get a copy, is that by design?
Wholly agreed. I like whitespace as much as the next guy, but the changes, all told, don't make the thing more readable. In no particular order:
* the new font, for now, is Times New Roman (although I suspect this is because of a missing semicolon); it's **much** less readable than Lucida Grande (the old sans-serif font that I saw). If you want to try something new and still readable, consider using Open Sans from Google Web Fonts (or locally hosted) at, say, 12 or 13 points.
* A number of other commenters say the font is too large for the comments box. I think the font is too *small* on my desktop (although I tend to think most web pages have too-small fonts). The big problem is that when I press cmd-= (ctrl-= elsewhere) to zoom in the page, the text gets bigger **but the width of the comments boxes gets no wider**. From what I can tell, this is because you have .commentlist { margin: 0 auto; width: 68.9%; } (auto margins on the side combined with a percentage width). If you replace "width: 68.9%" with "max-width: 960px" you'll get something that behaves more sensibly when zoomed in on webkit- and gecko-based browsers.
* I *never* thought I'd say this, but I'm against nested comments on the ground that they linearize poorly. With the old system, I could bookmark a particular comment and then come back later to finish up (or to see new comments that've been posted since). With the new way, I have to start at the top every time and skip over lots of stuff, however enlightening, that I've already read.
I already mentioned this upthread, but is the theme on gitorious cloneable by everyone, or just a select few?
> Permission denied (publickey).
> Should be cloneable by anyone.
I also got "Permission denied (publickey)." when I wanted to have a quick look at the style stuff yesterday

CORAL GABLES, Fla. - The No. 54 University of Miami men's tennis team will look for its fifth consecutive victory when they battle No. 62 North Florida on Sunday, Feb. 24 at 11 a.m. at the Neil Schiff Tennis Center. The Hurricanes are currently 4-0 at home and 6-2 overall in the dual season.
Beginning at 10:55 a.m. 11-year-old Angela Munoz will sing the National Anthem.
Miami saw its last action on Feb. 10, when they traveled to Tampa, Fla. for a match against No. 55 USF. Behind solid performances in both singles and doubles competition, the Canes pulled out a 5-2 victory over the Bulls. The Hurricanes claimed the doubles point from wins at the No. 1 and No. 2 doubles positions in the lineup. Juniors Omar Aly and Gabriel Flores drew first blood at No. 2 doubles, as they battled to an 8-3 victory. Wilfredo Gonzalez and Marco Stancati secured the doubles point for the Canes, as they tallied an 8-7 victory at No. 1 doubles.
The Canes continued its strong play in singles competition, as they tabbed three singles wins in straight sets to clinch the match. Diego Soto, playing at the No. 1 position, cruised past his opponent, 6-2, 6-2 to double the lead for the Canes. UM's second singles win came from sophomore Wilfredo Gonzalez, as he downed his opponent 6-2, 6-3 at No. 3 singles. Senior Victor Mauz notched the match-clinching point for the Canes after his 7-5, 6-4 victory at the No. 5 position.
Omar Aly returned to the singles lineup, giving the Hurricanes its last point of the day with a 4-6, 6-3, 7-5 victory from the No. 4 position.
North Florida is coming off a 6-1 loss to No. 20 Baylor in a home match on Thursday, Feb. 21 in Jacksonville, Fla. The loss drops UNF to 2-6 on the season. The Ospreys are led by No. 96 singles player Moritz Buerchner, who will likely face Miami's Diego Soto at the No. 1 singles position in Sunday's match.
Miami and North Florida last faced each other on Feb. 26, 2012, in a match that ended in a 5-2 victory for the Canes. Sunday marks the Hurricanes' seventh match against a nationally ranked opponent. The Canes are currently 4-2 against ranked opposition.

There's no getting away from it, the 5-string banjo is about as American as apple pie. This poses something of a conundrum for those who love the instrument, but don't wish to be confined to bluegrass music.

By Scott Baytala
Media Services Student Assistant
Campbell sophomore linebacker Michael Rudisill talks about playing football at Campbell and what it's like to be coached by a childhood friend.
Question: When did you start playing football and what other sports did you play growing up?
Rudisill: I started playing football around 10 years old. Growing up I played baseball and I was always a recreational guy. I liked to play basketball and things like that, but the only organized sports I ever played were football, baseball and soccer. The only sport I played throughout high school was football.
Q: What factors contributed to your transfer from Appalachian State to Campbell?
Rudisill: I was looking for a school where I could get a little more playing time and a place that felt more like home. I didn't feel as comfortable up there (at App. State) as I do here at Campbell. As soon as I took a visit here, I felt really comfortable. A great atmosphere, all the guys are great, and I just feel like this is the right place for me.
Q: You played in the Southwestern 4A conference at Providence High School in Charlotte, what where some of the biggest transitions from high school football to the FCS level?
Rudisill: I don't think it matters what high level of football you end up playing, but the speed of the game is always going to be the biggest change as well as the amount of knowledge that you have to use when you get out there and use your speed on the field. So you have to apply the speed and the knowledge of the game, making them the biggest differences.
Q: What is one of your favorite parts about being a Fighting Camel football player?
Rudisill: I would have to say the bonds that I have with my teammates. This is a group of about 110 guys and I have a personal relationship with just about each and every single one of them. That is probably the best part of it all for me. I have a brother back home, but with being about three hours away from him, it's good to have about 110 guys here that are just like brothers to me.
Q: In your brief Campbell career, what is your most memorable CU football moment?
Rudisill: I would probably have to say that during our first home game this season (a 76-0 victory over Apprentice) a picked up a fumble and ran it back for a touchdown. It was my first touchdown since I was a sophomore in high school, so that was pretty great (smiling).
Q: Do you have anyone that you look up to or try to model your football game around?
Rudisill: I don't have any athletes that I try to model my game around, but I like to see myself like my dad. My dad is a very hard worker and has been working for the fire department for over 30 years. I just try to apply that philosophy to life and sports and work as hard as I can in everything that I do.
Q: Can you picture yourself playing any position other than linebacker?
Rudisill: I love to be put wherever the coaches need to put me, but I love to have the ball in my hands. Right now they want me at linebacker, so that's what I'm going to do.
Q: So if you could try another position, you would love to try running back for fullback?
Rudisill: Oh yeah! (smiling)
Q: What is your favorite college stadium to play in, and where is the one place you would like to visit and play at?
Rudisill: My favorite place to play is right here at home. I love this atmosphere and I love not having to travel, that's very nice. I enjoy the Camel Walk before each game. The one place that I would love to go and play is to go back to App. (Appalachian State) and play them.
Q: Do you have any goals set for yourself and this football program before your time here at Campbell is finished?
Rudisill: I would love to see this team win a conference championship. I feel like we can do it. I feel like we have the right tools in place, and I feel like the guys are motivated enough. We're talented enough, so it's all about execution from here on out.
Q: Do you have any traditions or rituals that you do before a football game?
Rudisill: The biggest thing that I do before each game is that I pray underneath the goalpost, and after every game I pray under the goalpost. There's no specific prayer, just whatever comes to my mind that day.
Q: Outside of being an athlete and a full-time student, how do you like to spend your free time?
Rudisill: My friends and teammates like to pick on me because I like to sleep all the time. That's one thing about me, if I'm not studying in my free time, then I'm sleeping.
Q: What is it like working with Coach Art Link (Defensive Coordinator/Linebackers coach), and how has he helped to develop you as a man on and off the field?
Rudisill: Coach Link is one of the biggest reasons why I came here. After meeting with him, I could really tell that he wanted to help you understand what you were doing out there on the field and help you get better and understand the knowledge of the game. I've learned so much since I've stepped on this field than I ever knew about the linebacker position before. He's just a great all around guy, he's a great role model and he's a great motivational speaker. Outside of the field he helps prepare you for school and life as well. He's always on you about your grades and about how you act in public. He talks to you about how you carry yourself and tries to bring out the leader in you.
Q: What's it like transitioning from playing football with a childhood friend in Will Phillippi, to him being one of your coaches now?
Rudisill: That's probably one of the most interesting things someone can say about our friendship. Will is like another brother, like my athletic brother. My biological brother likes to play music, whereas Will was my brother who was always asking me to come hang out with him even though he was friends with my brother too. Will would always bring me along and play sports with me. And he was always picking on me and pushing on me and things like that, but it was always in good fun. So it's interesting to call him Coach Will now after all the experiences we have been through from rec. league baseball to high school and to college.
Q: Do you have anything interesting that you like to do during the summertime?
Rudisill: Yeah, I work at a fitness center that's like a YMCA center, and it's located in a Jewish community. A lot of my friends back home are Jewish, and they got me connected with the job. The funny thing about the fitness center is that every there is Christian believe it or not. There is no big difference working there, everyone that I have been around in that building has been nice to me. They have taught me that faith doesn't matter, and it's been a great learning experience.
Q: What are your future plans for after Campbell?
Rudisill: After Campbell, I plan to go on to graduate school and get my master's in psychology and eventually work towards a doctorate degree.
Q: What is it like switching from a 4-3 defense to a 3-4 defense?
Rudisill: To me, I actually feel at home in a 3-4 defense. With the 4-3, I was kind of uncomfortable with it when I got here. I didn't have all those guys around me and I felt like I was almost on an island. Now with a 3-4, I feel like I have all my brothers around me and we can flow freely to the ball. We've got a great nose tackle in that of Randel Herring who's always there to clog up the middle. The four-techniques do a great job taking on blocks and shedding off blocks as well. I just feel like our defense and our personnel work better this way. I can't say this is a difficult transition, because I love to play in the middle. Last year I was outside some, but I love the middle.
Q: Is there any mark you would like to leave on the CU football program?
Rudisill: I just want to be known as a guy who helped build this program. I want to be known as a guy who started out with this program and helped build it into a conference championship football team.

i dont use widescreen and prefer standard screen width.
the reason why is because it is faster for me to read a narrower block of text than a wide block of text.
reding a wide block of text forces me to move my eyes and head from left to right
a narrow block of text can be read without me moving my eyes and head left and right.
is there a way to configure mmohut forums so that the entire format is standard width screen? i dont want the ads on left and right and i dont want the widescreen text to extend past the right edge when i am reading (because then i am forced to scroll the page right).
thx !

If you basically care about the output, then one possibility is: xdd/:
MakeBoxes[xdd, _] := OverscriptBox["x", "\[DoubleDot]"]
x0a/: MakeBoxes[x0a, _] :=
SubscriptBox["x", StyleBox["0a", ZeroWidthTimes -> True]]
or, more general:
x/: MakeBoxes[x[i_Integer,a_Symbol], _]:=
SubscriptBox["x", StyleBox[RowBox[{i,a}], ZeroWidthTimes -> True]]
Now evaluate:
{xdd, x0a, x[1,s]}
and it looks nice.

(2/3/2009) NEW HAVEN- During these difficult economic times, seniors are amongst the hardest hit. In light of the national economic crisis and the burden many seniors face, at an event at the East Shore Senior Center today, Mayor John DeStefano, Jr., announced that the City would continue to offer a freeze on property taxes to eligible seniors for a third year. Eligibility for this program requires that the homeowner be 70 years of age or older, a resident of New Haven for at least 10 years and have an income of under $50,000.
The City estimates 2,715 households meet these requirements to benefit from this tax relief. In its first year, 549 seniors took advantage of this program saving a total of $199,284. The average tax break was $400 per home. In the second year of the program 862 residents took part in the tax freeze saving seniors a total of $828,200 over the course of the program�s first two years. Seniors who participated in the program either last year or in 2007, should check with the Assessor�s office to find out whether or not they must reapply to maintain their tax freeze this year. Residents are required to reapply every two years. Therefore, all residents who initially applied in 2007 must reapply this year to maintain their benefits. The tax freeze is not automatically renewed.
A year ago, a New Haven senior was expecting to pay $6,694. The tax freeze decreased her bill to $5,962 in residential property taxes. The freeze will save her $1,035.
�We are proud to continue this program for our seniors,� said DeStefano. �After a lifetime of working hard they deserve to be protected from high property taxes. Real tax relief is important for all residents especially in these challenging times.�
The tax freeze has a $2,000 cap placed on the yearly benefit that a senior may receive. Any amount over the $2,000 can either be paid by the senior or put into deferral. The tax free benefit ends when the property is sold or transferred. Seniors who earn between $50,000 and $75,000 qualify for a deferral program that allows taxes to be deferred until the property is sold or transferred out of their name. Deferred taxes are charged a prime interest rate but create an option for individuals who do not meet the income requirements of the tax freeze. Homeowners who are 62 years of age and older qualify for the freeze if their spouse met all requirements at their time of death.
�This program has a major impact on senior homeowners in New Haven,� said Don Dimenstein, Director of Elderly Services for the City. �The last two years have been a great success. By getting the word out, working with volunteers to help seniors fill out applications and making applications very accessible, we hope to increase the number of eligible residents participating this year. Our department is excited to be a part of this program and will be available to assist seniors in filling out applications.�
Applications for the program can be picked up at the City�s six senior centers or by contacting the Department of Elderly Services at 946-2272. Application assistance is available for any senior in the City. However, appointments are necessary to receive assistance from an elderly services employee. For appointments, please contact 946-7854.

What Is This Mask That Kanye West Is Wearing On Stage Right Now?
Kanye West is known for being outspoken and eccentric; and when you're as talented as he is, you can get away with plenty more than the average joe. But seriously – right now, I need someone… anyone… to explain to me what he is wearing on stage right now?
Is it a combination of Frosty The Snowman and Thomas Jefferson? Is it Falcor from The Neverending Story? Maybe it's Kanye's way of dropping hints of an upcoming 'Cruel Winter' project? These photos of Ye' come from his show at Revel in Atlantic City, and word is that it also started snowing inside the arena as well!
Whatever it is, it's freaking me the **** out, and he just put on another mask too.
I really can't deal right now.

Some of these are WRX spottings, but I don't both with posting regional spotting here because it's pointless on ClubWRX. Everyone in the North East is over on the NESIC forum. I figure this would go here, since they are technically 'encounters', just not racing ones.
Here's a list of EVERYTHING I saw worth mentioning though...
WRB WRX Sedan with what looked like gold wheels in South Salem, NY near the 34/124 junction. Looked nice!
WRB WRX Wagon in Norwalk a little up the road from the fire dept on RT.1... Looked.. Stock!
WRB WRX Sedan on 15N around Redding I think. STOCK.
Excessive numbers of Porsches... All different kinds!
1 Red EVO 8 by the Danbury Mall.
1 dark red Shelby Cobra in South Salem, NY
4 friggin Dodge Vipers driving in a pack on 34 in South Salem, NY. Talk about a way to terrorize a lone WRXer. A few looked really menacing!!!!
1 Red Lamborghini Countach headed up 91N... Perhaps a kit car though... I would hope not. Looked sweet!
oh and, the highlight of my day... A yellow Lamborghini Diablo... VERY MUCH REAL! HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT! The hottest car I've ever laid my eyes on! Parked in downtown New Cannan. BASTARD! Second I saw your car I felt insecure. So you know what? I wanna race you! I pick the track though since you have a car that totally outperforms my WRX. Deal? Good! Anyone know where the nearest rally course is?!?
I'd never seen a real Lamborghini until today... I nearly died!
Didn't race anyone, since I wasn't the one driving. Sadly, my father whom was driving was biyatch slapped by Mustang at one point. A kid in a Mustang was looking to race him (revving and all), my father looked over and smiled and waved... Next thing I the Mustang blasts off... He's probably home now telling all his friends "Dude, I smoked a WRX! The car didn't even have a chance!" This also happened a second time today, about 40 minutes later with a Honda Civic. Same results. My father looks over and waved. Even more embarassing because he has the TXS stage 1, and the muffler to give him the agressive sound. I seriously wonder now how many people attempt to race him to find he stupidly looks over, smiles happily and says "Hello!" Should check other cars boards in the Connecticut area to find out! "I drive a yugo and I OWNED a blue WRX!"

XC racing in March
The Bonelli Pro XCT weekend fell on my birthday and I jokingly said, my birthday gift to Brian was to head out of town. My birthday gift to myself was to head out of town. Its always nice to leave Gunnison at the tail end of winter and it is really fantastic to have team mates to join in with. I makes it a fun experience that I very much appreciate.
|during the XC
This past weekend saw the 2nd round of the Pro XCT US mountain bike Series in Bonelli park, San Dimas. California.
Stan's NO tubes women's team where represented by myself, Sarah Kaufmann, Vicki Barclay and Kaila Hart . We were supported by Jimmy Deaton as our manager, mechanic, along with Bruce Dickman ( Pro Gold Lubricants) and Kenny When's parents Matt and Joan Wehn.
You know it is going to be a good weekend, when : It's your birthday ( mine) , you get to spend it in Southern California (sunny and spring) ,your hosts for the weekend ( Matt) meet you at the hotel and take your bike case's , and Jimmy drives ( the team) to Trader Joes to shop on the way to Bonelli park and the race venue.
Jimmy Deaton is a former World Mountain bike champion, extremely experienced, seemingly mellow and such a wealth of knowledge about cycling. It was very inspiring to be around him and casually pick his brains about tires, riding skills and cornering.
Fitting too, as the course at Bonelli was punchy with varied terrain that required sharp bike handling skills. The XC race was a 5 lap event of 5 km each.
I was excited. These earlier spring cross country races are ideal tune up races to develop faster snappy riding, an ideal build for later endurance events. It is for me an 'Anti Complacency 'plan
We met teammate Vicki Barclay for the first time in Bonelli. Vicki is a smart, sweet, sassy, Scottish Lass, who is a 100 mile specialist. The Bonelli XCT was in fact her first ever Pro national level cross country. She too was excited and happy with how the style of race and the pace challenged her skills and riding.
Vicki's first US Pro xct. 12th!
Start with Sarah and Jenny
Saturday night was a relaxed and fun evening with Matt and Joan When.
Sunday saw the short track event at Bonelli park. It was Sarah and I racing it. Matt Wehn came with us as our support crew. We took a long easy warm up around trails in the park, before checking out the short track course, and riding a few fast laps and various lines on the short power based course.
The race was a mere 15 minutes plus 2 laps. We where both oddly looking forward to it. The gun went off and I got a decent start in about 6th place with Sarah right behind me in 7th as we dropped into the single track through lap one. I moved up into 4th and on to the lead group for lap two. Unfortunately I dropped my chain during lap three ( an issue I'm having with my 'well ridden bike') and that put me in 4th chasing. A glance back saw I was being chased by Sarah. Which was super neat to be honest. My thinking awesome if she catches me we can work together. Short track is weird though, when you are all just pinned small gaps are so hard to bridge, so that's how it stayed. We crossed in 4th and 5th respectively. Good results for two mountain girls on March 11th.
Short track Podium
The event and racing was very positive for us all. We are very thankful to our supportive sponsors: Stan's no tubes, Alpine Orthopeadic's, Elete Electrolyte's, Gu energy labs, Kenda, Cannondale, Verge clothing , Adidas eyewear, Lazer helmet's , Ergon, Pro Gold Lubricant's, Genuine Innovations, Jet Black trainers, Crank Brothers, and Shower's Pass for the opportunity to compete and to represent them.
Next up for the Stan's No tubes Elite women's team is Sea Otter.

The team's full schedule will include ProXCT, World Cup XC, National and World Championships, Marathon, National Ultra Endurance, MTB stage races, SuperD and Enduro events.
Gibson added, "As a team, we are a group with a solid presence in the cycling community who will pull together and support each other - a whole greater than the sum of the parts. As individuals, we are all excited to have the privilege of being outside, riding bikes with old friends and new, and inspiring women and girls everywhere with our athleticism, our ability to challenge ourselves to new heights, and our dedication to our sport."

Just installed the Stud Kit from Northstar Performance in my '99 Deville. I looked at all of the different options and just figured that since the pricing wasn't all that different between the various kits when you add in the cost of a new set of head bolts I'd go with the studs. Racing engines all get studded and I figured those guys must know what they're doing. When I had questions I was able to call and speak to Jake who didn't seem to be in a hurry and took plenty of time with me. I have driven a thousand miles since the repair with some WOT and long distances on the freeway and my temps have been rock steady. The motor purrs now. I'm very satisfied and confident that I won't have to revisit this issue again with this car. Now that I've done one I wont be afraid to do it again. If anyone has any questions about the process feel free to ask.
Nice posts. I can appreciate all the effort you put into the detail descriptions. I haven't gone through this section yet, but I will. You left some very good information.
Here are Jake's studs that I received for my eldo.
I took pictures of two studs, the plate and it's mounting hardware.
If you notice the mounting hardware has two sets of different size bolts. It's obvious the smaller of the two are the original size bolts.
Look at the larger bolts and the thread pitch. Look at the studs. The larger end of the stud is what is getting bolted into the block, now compare that to the fine thread on the mounting bolt(smaller threaded mounting bolt).
It's night and day.
The stud concept seems to make more sense than using bolts.
Far greater strength, plus the torqueing action of clamping down force takes place without twisting on aluminum threads.
Why take the chance of ruining the threads when you can tighten down the nut/washer combination?
In the end I guess it boils down to your preference. In my case, it's studs.
I'm now deciding whether to use that cometic multi layered steel gasket after reading AJxtcnman's post.
I was comtemplating it already but now he's almost shoved me in the corner with his pictures of the factory headgasket "crunching up" in certain spots.
I plan to keep this car a while and I'm NOT going back in to do this repair again anytime soon.
I like to fix it and forget it.
So my 01DTS has blown its gaskets, 99K never over heated, I want to do the studs and the composite gasket but because of my work and where i live theres no way id be able to do it on my own..Can ANYONE reccomend a shop between Austin or San Antoino that can do this work??? I LOVE MY DTS and makes me ill at the thought of getting rid of it
I'm not the best with Texas geography but there's a shop in Dallas who will do the work for you. North Texas Performance. Also Crest Cadillac in Plano, TX.
Yeah I found a listing for the shop in Dallas. I appericate all the help guys! I really do!Quote:
Jake, he posted this somewhere else, too. I think there were a couple of replies concerning Texas shops
Very informative,
I have a 95 sts, timeserts where done about 90,000 mile ago and its now leaking again, with your history in this problem would it be possible to do additional repairs at this point? I used to be a machinist so do as much as possible myself if possible and if having the specialty tools
www.northstarperformance.com or Norm Huhn at www.huhnsolutions.com
These are the guys who make the studs and inserts from scratch - they have the real answers.
did you pull your engine out the top or bottom?

Ichabod Crane = No. I had my doubts about him being the killer when everybody else thought he was. I was 100% that Crane was not the killer when we found him at the Pudding N' Pie and when BM said "Just between us girls. Crane ain't no killer"
Bluebeard = Not sure. I don't know if he is the murderer. But I know that he is planning something.
The Crooked Man, Bloody Mary, Jack Horner, Tiny Tim, Dee and Dum = Not sure. I don't think anyone of those guys did it. First of all, they didn't really have a reason. But nothing would surprise me at this point.
Beauty and Beast = No. They didn't kill Faith and Lily, but they are working for the Crooked Man FOR SURE. Why am I so sure? Tell me who told Dee and Dum that we were after Crane when we got to the funeral?
Vivian = Possibly. Reasons why I believe it's Vivian = In Episode 1 Crane tells Snow to call Vivian for his massage. That shows us that Vivian knows where the rest of the girls are.
In Episode 2 we see Vivian outside the club SMOKING. We also found a Huff and Puff in the crime scene. Crane doesn't smoke, Lily wouldn't be allowed to smoke since Snow doesn't smoke (so she would ruin the fantasy of Crane), Woody smokes but he can't be the killer because he was in custody (if you choose him as a suspect) so he could't have done that. Bigby also smokes that "Crap brand". So that leaves Vivian.
In Episode 3, at the funeral, Vivian's card was rather...weird. "Lily. Now you will never die from indifference or lead tedious life. Goodbye sweetheart. Thanks for everything ~ Vivian." Also, she always is close to Nerissa. I think Nerissa knows that Vivian is the killer, that's why Vivian wants to be close to her. I noticed that when Nerissa was talking to Bigby at the funeral, she looked back like she didn't want SOMEONE to hear her talking to Bigby. In addition, Vivian was trying to persuade Bigby and Snow (at the club when we found that Crane was there trying the Ring of Dispel) that Crane was the killer. The last piece of evidence is what Crane said himself "Stupid girl and their preposterous schemes!".
Cryer = Not sure. Cryer is either the killer OR just a model/ragdoll that TTG use to trick us/or they're bored of making any new models.
Any other opinions? Please share them
Also, a great thank you for the Vivian theory ===> http://www.telltalegames.com/community/discussion/65690/stupid-girls-and-their-preposterous-schemes-my-theory

It was my first brand new bike. Nothing fancy - the cheapest Ridgeback on the market - but I was really proud of it and I loved it.
Two months later, on a sunny Saturday afternoon I locked it up on Whitechapel High Street in London. There were lots of people about. I felt sure it would be fine, but two hours later, it was gone. The lock was lying on the pavement. It had been cut straight through with a pair of bolt cutters. I was gutted.
I felt sure it would turn up at Brick Lane Market the next day and tried to arrange to meet the police there so that we could look for it together and reclaim it, but they told me that they couldn't go along with me. They were very sympathetic and said that if I was to find my bike I should ring 999 and they'd be straight over. I didn't want to argue but I couldn't see how that was going to help. The market would be crowded and my bike would be long gone in the time it took them to reach me.
I got to the market early. At the far end of the street a particularly scarylooking man was directing two others who were unloading bikes from a white van. He had his back to me and he was shaven headed and absolutely huge. I knew if my bike came out the back of that van I'd be going home to save up for another one without saying a word, but I watched anyway. I was almost glad that my silver Ridgeback didn't appear, though lots of other bikes did. There were other vans but my bike didn't come out of those either.
By ten o'clock I'd been at the market for over two hours and it was getting crowded. The white vans had stopped coming but bikes were still arriving ridden by teenagers. This is where I saw my bike - my pristine, two-month-old silver ladies' Ridgeback - except now it had a buckled front wheel and it was missing a seat post. I couldn't tell how old the boy holding it was but I was relieved that he was smaller than me. I was scared but angry enough to go ahead and speak to him. I asked him how much he wanted. He said £90. I told him that it was my bike and he could either give it to me or he could wait for the police to arrive and I would show them my receipt. He gave it to me, turned around and walked away.
I took a deep breath and started to wheel my unrideable bike through what were now thick crowds between the stalls. When I had confronted the boy I had noticed a man watching us from the other side of the narrow street. The boy had walked off in his direction. As I looked over my shoulder, I could see this man was now behind me in the crowds. I kept walking but every time I looked over my shoulder the man was still there. We both knew that he was going to catch up with me as soon as I crossed the road. I couldn't see that there was anything else for me to do. I got on the bike and rode it, with its wobbly seat and no seat post - but I didn't care. I just needed to get away from this man who I believed was intent on doing me harm. I made eye contact with the man chasing me once more as I clanked away down the street. He had stopped following me. He took one good sour look at my face and turned around to walk back into the market. I made it home in one piece and, after a deep breath and a cup of tea, flipped my bike over to remove the buckled front wheel. Here comes the shameful part. This is when I checked the serial number against my receipt and realised that this wasn't my bike after all. It was the same make and colour but it wasn't mine. I kept it anyway.

Labour want Austin Gatt questioned by police - Ministry: Frank Sammut had contract terminated eight years ago
Labour spokesman Evarist Bartolo said this afternoon that the police should call in minister Austin Gatt for questioning over the Oil Procurement Board he had set up, and how it was open to abuse.
He was speaking at a press conference.
Earlier, the Finance Ministry said that Frank Sammut, the person at the centre of controversy over kickbacks for oil purchases, had his contract with Mediterranean Offshore Bunkering Ltd terminated in 2004.
He had been appointed managing director of the company in 1997.
Mr Sammut was never an employee of Enemalta but was a member of its board until 1990 and consultant until 1994.
Yesterday, Infrastructure Minister Austin Gatt said he was never tipped off about anyone taking kickbacks or engaging in corruption.
It was reported yesterday that Frank Sammut, a member of the Oil Procurement Board, received thousands of dollars from Dutch oil firm Trafigura that supplied Enemalta with its fuel oil requirements.
The case dates back to 2004. The prime minister has asked the police to investigate
Dr Gatt said that in 2004 the board was enlarged to 10 members, who included Mr Sammut and representatives of the Finance Ministry, the oil division, the Central Bank and Enemalta.
"We nominated a board of 10 people where decisions were taken together, not one or two persons deciding alone," Dr Gatt said.
Labour: Police should call in Austin Gatt for questioning
Meanwhile, Labour spokesman Evarist Bartolo said this afternoon that the police should call in Austin Gatt (the minister responsible for Enemalta at the time) for questioning on the oil procurement system he set up in 2004.
Speaking at a press conference with Labour candidate Manuel Mallia, Mr Bartolo asked in whose interest in was for Enemalta to opt for oil-firing power stations instead of gas.
He said that since 1999 Malta had had a number of options to go for gas-fired power plants.
In 2006 MEPA wrote to Enemalta saying the only option for the extension of the power station was the use of gas
Enemalta in its generation report said it would go for gas and plans for diesel engines were abandoned.
In May 2007 Enemalta issued call for offers for the supply of LNG (gas).
The U-turn happened some months later and the BWSC plant using heavy fuel oil was accepted in 2009.
This u-turn was possible because environmental laws were changed, Mr Bartolo said.
In 2005, he recalled, the local BWSC representative had sent an email saying that higher political sources had to be tapped.
Labour candidate Manuel Mallia said the selection of the heavy fuel oil plant supplied by
BWSC had always left open the question of why the government opted for fuel oil when in 2006 it had adopted a policy to go for gas.
He said that last Sunday's story in MaltaToday featured an invoice that referred to an Enemalta contract with numerical reference and all. This was an important piece of evidence because the commission was directly linked to the sale of oil to Enemalta. What normally happened was that the price of the commodity was upped to make up for the commission paid.
If public finances are not managed well and this commission was paid irregularly than the money had to be refunded.
Mr Bartolo said that in Parliament the Opposition has long been that the way oil was being procured was vitiated.
Former Nationalist MP Frank Portelli, three years ago, had also said that former Enemalta officials had made money from public contracts.
He said that Labour knew of people who spoke to government officials about this abuse.
He asked why all this time had to pass because this matter became public and action was being taken. Why did all this time have to pass? Furthermore, why was the oil procurement process not changed? The Labour Opposition, he said, used to argue that the Oil Procurement Board should report regularly to Parliament.
Mr Bartolo said the police should call in Austin Gatt (the minister responsible for Enemalta at the time) for questioning on the oil procurement system he set up in 2004.
Political responsibility, Mr Bartolo said, should be shouldered by prime minister and Dr Gatt.

"Slippery Places" and Things to Watch Out For
At EX, we say that something is slippery if there is a good chance that it could cause you to slip up and have a cigarette. People, places and things - even feelings - can all be slippery. So in your first few weeks of quitting, steer clear of these high-risk situations until you know for sure you can handle them. And think ahead, so you don't get into a tough spot.
|Bars and alcohol
One of the MAJOR reasons for relapse, alcohol makes it much easier to lose your resolve. Don't risk it for at least a month.
|Smoking areas
The sidewalk outside work, the patio at a party, anywhere people gather to smoke...
|Friends who smoke
You can still be friends. Just let them know you need their support to quit smoking right now.
|Places you used to smoke
Obviously, you can't avoid your car or your house, but if you used to smoke by the back door at work or at the diner down the street, take a break from those places for a while.
|H.A.L.T. (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired)
You're more likely to slip when you're hungry, angry, lonely or tired, so take care of yourself.
If you find yourself in a tempting situation, do something about it immediately:
- Get up.
- Leave the room.
- Take a walk.
- Go home.
- Do whatever it takes to beat it. But get out of there.
Set Your Quit Date
Let us know what your quit date is.
Advice From Dr. Hays
Dr. Taylor Hays from Mayo Clinic is an internationally-recognized expert on quitting smoking. Each week, his blog offers information and advice to help keep you on track to becoming an EX.
Are you thinking about quitting smoking?
Coffee, stress, driving. There's a lot of things that make you reach for a cigarette. And if you can't get past these triggers, quitting smoking can seem next to impossible.
That's where EX comes in.
We'll help you learn how to do all of those things you do with a cigarette without one, so you can finally quit for good.
To get your free, personalized quit plan to re-learn life without cigarettes, start by answering this quick question:
How often do you smoke?
We're glad you're back. How've you been?

I advanced the timing just a touch, ccw, this makes the motor want to hit more. Now i have to let the starter kool down .so it stays alive long enough to hear this motor run. Also i am getting a Back fire thru the right side exhaust pipe. Nothing much has come out of it.It has started to .........TRY TO START............... ,everytime now. It gets A little closer each time i advance the distributor. btw the po had it in wrong , the wires now are lined up with the plugs as they should be. thats about it. I am increasing the timing more.

I have a function sitting in the 1st frame on level 0 of my movie. This function loads an xml file and processes the extracted data. Works fine. Within the function I've created a variable myLogo from an xml array and I can see it fine in the debugger:-
myLogo = logoPath; // logoPath is from xml array
My problem is that I have a movie clip that hangs off the root that needs one variable from within this function to load an external file:-
var logo = _level0.root.myLogo; // logo is path to the file to be imported
this.createEmptyMovieClip("holder_mc", 1);
var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcl.loadClip("logo", holder_mc); // grab logo
I've tried setting the root variable to _global but I still can't see it in the above mc script in the debugger.
Does anyone know how to extract a variable in a function from another mc?
Many thanks.
set up the var outside the function, then you can use it anywhere
so instead of
function myFunction() { var myVar:String = "blah"; } use var myVar:String = new String; function myFunction() { myVar = "blah"; }
Or if it's a variable of a type that you can only set up when you have certain parameters, like a custom class that needs xml data for example, then put the variable you create within the function into an array or object that you create outside of the function… like so
var myObj:Object = new Object(); function myFunction() { var myVar:someCustomType = new someCustomType(param); myObj.myVar = myVar; }
then you can access myObj.myVar from outside the function too.
Ok so I'm probably complicating matters but this is something that had me tearing my hair out a while back…
Thanks for getting back guys.
flashjunkie I would set up the variable outside of the function if I could but it's a custom class that needs xml data.
mbudm I think you're on the right track. I actually need to send about 10 variables out of this function so an array seems the most efficient method. For testing I set up an array outside of the function and it works fine. However I can't read the array when I put it in the function. Is the scope of an array the same as variables when used in functions? Any idea how I can read the array outside of the function?
many thanks again for your time
I setup an empty array outside of the function:-
configImport = new Array();
and within the function pushed some strings to populate the array:- pushed = configImport.push("logoPath", "soundAuto","soundMiniPlayer", "soundShowPlayer", "soundInitVol"); trace(pushed);
Doesnt work either
you are forgeting this is event driven
since there is load time involved with loading the xml and then parsing it the data will not exist untill that happens
since you have stated that it is a custom xml class. what you need to do in the method in that class that parses the xml you need to dispatch an event.COMPLETE or dispatch a custom event
then when you instantiate your custom xml class you need to add an event listener to it like.
var myCustomXmlClass:myCustomXmlClass = new myCustomXmlClass( )
myCustomXmlClass.addEventListener( event.COMPLETE, myCallBackFunc );
function myCallBackFucntion( e:Event ){
// do the work here
AS3 is very good in handling events fired from class objects. Dont over complicate things. oh and almost forgot in your custom class you need to have a public variable that the data is assigned to IE: public var data:Array; so in your call back function you can grab it with e.target.data
disclaimer: I wrote this off the top of my head and am sure i forgot something but it is a start for you. email me if you still dont get it

Mold, Mildew or Soot? How to tell?
Greetings from Bellingham, Washington. Long time handyman, first time poster here. :thumbsup:
A friend is convinced she has mold growing in her living room and is concerned her whole trailer is going to collapse from rot due to it. I'm not so sure it is mold.
This is a 1960's vintage mobile home with 2x framing and insulation with vinyl siding. Electric heat and cooking. The suspected mold is concentrated on the inside of the walls, over the studs, very pronounced on the sheetrock nail heads and only on the north side of the building. You can see the black concentrations directly along the framing studs in the picture.
She tells me she keeps the house pretty much zipped up tight in the winter, however, there is a decent amount of infiltration through the windows and such. There is only a hint of blackening in the kitchen (no picture.)
The discoloration first started appearing about 8 years ago and was very faint. Each winter it darkens and becomes more pronounced. This year, we had a significantly more severe winter and coincidentally, she noticed soot from her oil candles forming on the ceiling. You can see two blotches on the ceiling above the oil lamps.
She says the lamps are burning almost all winter. (She likes the ambiance.)
Anyway.... I tell her there's a pretty good chance those black accumulations are not mildew and are probably soot condensing on the cold studs.
She doesn't seem convinced and fears the worst.
How can I prove it to her either way (mold vs soot?)
I think you can buy a swab kit and send it to a lab.
On the other hand, if she needs any elctrical done now is the time while you bcan see the studs:)
That's neither mould nor mildew; it's a soot-like dirty substance that is in the air, from cooking and heating, just floating around. It's what gives you dirty carpets and furniture. It is stuck on the lines where the joists are because the joists are at a different temperature than the rest of the ceiling and condensation makes them sticky.
Wash with detergent and rinse well. Then reinsulate the ceiling if you can.
You nailed it when you mentioned the oil candles. They produce soot which condenses out of the air onto cooler surfaces such as the joists and nail heads. To be more exact microscopic particles of soot attach themselves to microscopic bits of water vapor which then condense on cooler surfaces. Oil lamps and scented candles are notorious soot producers
i once had an apartment lessee that liked to burn candles!
When she moved out I had one hell of a mess on my hands.
I had to scrub all the walls with TSP then prime and paint everything.
Try doing this job in a 5 room apartment, over weekend, before next tenant moves in.
Not fun! I HATE candles!
I had a tenant do the same thing to me. And she was adamant about not smoking cigarettes. Not sure why. The soot from the candles was probably worse.
Yup...well I have seen a house where no-one smoked and no candles were used. Bad insulation and our heating climate were the culprits.
Thanks for the replies and helpful advice!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:
