VSIDO: Sid for Human Beings
Terry Ganus is a man on a mission — a vast one.
True to Free/Open Source Software paradigm — where if you find you can make something better, you make it so (in FOSS circles, that's reduced to three words: "scratching an itch") — the long-time CrunchBang forum moderator and CrunchBang user created a new distro taking the experience he's garnered over the years working within the wider Debian community.
VSIDO, Terry's distro, can clearly be declared "Mission Accomplished."
The genesis of the VSIDO project is twofold: When CrunchBang lead developer Philip Newborough stopped offering Xfce support in CrunchBang, Terry went to work to make a Debian-based distro with the Xfce desktop; more importantly, however, Terry wanted to erase the stigma of Debian Sid as some sort of distro black magic that only the most experienced users can succesfully navigate.
I'll let him explain. "My main goal with VSIDO is to show that a Debian Sid distro can be fun, powerful and does not break. I am sure you have heard that Debian is being pushed to remove the ridiculous label/moniker 'unstable' from the Sid name to something more responsible like 'rolling' . . . [and] I also have detailed what and why I did it here in this thread on the [VSIDO] forum (entitled, 'What is VSIDO? Why Should I care?')."
VSIDO started out as an Xfce-only distro, "but I got a lot of encouragement to include OpenBox because I had managed to make it look good and not just a bland shell," Terry explained. "I know this rubs most of the minimalists fans at CrunchBang (and other places) wrong, but I did want to showcase a different view of OpenBox."
A third option in window management — Fluxbox — is also offered with VSIDO. Terry explains: "Fluxbox became a part of it once I discovered Fluxbox, and honestly if I had known about Fluxbox before I ever used Xfce, I would have never used Xfce. It is that good. There are also very limited distros out there that use Xfce or Fluxbox, so they are both great fits."
The program choices in VSIDO — one of the things that make the distro both unique and appealing — were just a list of what applications that Terry, as a power user, had used for years to make his desktop a powerful utility instead of just a work space. From a wide range of experiences with the programs included in VSIDO, Terry says that he has "gathered what 'just works,' not just for me, but for everyone else I have encouraged to use them."
The list is filled with programs you already know, punctuated by some you — or, at least, I — may not have heard of.
For advanced users, tools like bleachbit, Disk-Manager, kernel-remover, debian apt protection tools, build essentials and a selection of debian power tools are standard features in VSIDO. For the beginner, everything for connection, multimedia, music, aliases, system panels, tint2 launcher panels and ease of use is standard. SpaceFM is the default file manager, though Thunar 1.6 with tabs is also installed. UMPlayer handles the media play.
What's more, all of the programs used, like ceni for network management, might be new to some users, but given the fact that they've been tested for some time by Terry and others, it makes their addition to the mix.
Giving VSIDO a test drive
Those who regularly read this blog know I've mentioned this before: I don't consider any review that is based on running a distro from a live CD/DVD/USB a legitimate review. It's akin to sticking your finger in a bowl of cake batter, tasting it and telling us how great the cake is when it isn't even baked yet.
That said — and bear in mind this is not a review as much as it is a test drive — VSIDO is an outstanding distro running from the USB drive that, if running the live version is any indication, is a solid new Debian-based distro.
VSIDO comes up quickly and provides easy navigation for those who have previously used the Xfce desktop environment. The Conky default in the upper left provides those who wish to monitor their systems an oustanding display of information. From the look of the desktop envirnoment — Xfce by default — it is very easily customizable and much of what you want is at your fingertips with a mere right-click anywhere on the desktop.
I threw a lot at the distro and was not disappointed — monitoring the memory use, the Debian-based distro handled everything with aplomb, never going over 500 MB in memory use (it should be noted that VSIDO is very lightweight in and of itself, coming up at around 170 MB of memory at the start).
The only possible stumbling block, albeit minor, for new users is working with unfamiliar programs. For example, I tripped over ceni since I had never seen it before, and while I picked it up pretty easily, it might be intimidating to some newer users.
The best way to determine whether VSIDO is right for you, of course, is to give it your own test drive.
Despite the fact that Terry is both active in his own distro while continuing to participate in the CrunchBang community, there are misconceptions that somehow VSIDO is a derivative or a descendant of CrunchBang. It's not. Their sole relationship is that they are both Debian-based distros, despite the fact many CrunchBang users are lending a hand in VSIDO (and, conversely, vice-versa).
"I truly admire corenominal (Philip Newborough) for what he did with CrunchBang and if it were not for my passion for Sid and all it's strengths, I would have never looked at VSIDO as an alternative," Terry said. "My 'following' of smxi, tint2, xfce4, conky and lua for 18 music apps, netinstall scripts and of course GMB fans, all encouraged me to take that knowledge and experience to another level and VSIDO was born.
"More than anything to me, it is important that a user has fun, has the tools, has a vision and a strong community to rely on."
Having used VSIDO for several days, albeit booting from the USB drive, it's evident that Terry has taken Sid and made it the basis for a workable, and enjoyable, distro for everyone — beginner and seasoned user alike. If I had a second 64-bit machine to run it on (I only have one in an arsenal of 32-bit hardware, and VSIDO only comes in 64-bit), I wouldn't hesitate to install it for a more in-depth look.
I will continue to use CrunchBang as my primary distro. Yet seeing and saluting the similarities between both the CrunchBang and VSIDO methods of augmenting a distro with a knowledgeable and helpful community — again, to both distros' credit, there are many crossover personnel in both forums — I would gladly urge those who are curious to give VSIDO a try and would recommend folks who have an affinity for the Xfce desktop to use VSIDO.

Stop the presses
It consistently awes me, sometimes to tears, to see how consistently wrong some Free/Open Source Software commentators are about things like the current state of the desktop. To hear some of them tell it, it's a hand-wringing, brow-furrowing situation in which the fate of the entire paradigm rests in the delicate balance.
Let me explain this in simple terms: It's not. If anything, it's an invitation to a front-row seat to witness digital Darwinism at its finest.
So stop acting like this is a crisis. It's not.
Unity is a dog — it's a textbook case of incredibly bad judgment by The Mark to make a cookie-cutter, all-in-one user interface across a wide range of different hardware. But that's all it is. Is it the death knell of the desktop? Hardly. It's not even the death knell of Ubuntu.
The same with GNOME 3: Arguably a bad move, but not one that is forcing GNOME to fold up the tents and go the way of the Studebaker or the hula hoop.
KDE thriving? In my opinion, it is. That's a good thing, and they have weathered some bad times recently to come out stronger and with a good product for those so inclined to use it.
Xfce making progress at GNOME's expense? Tough if you're a GNOME guy or gal, but not bad in the grand scheme of things. Xfce has always been a good desktop environment which is finally getting the recognition it deserves — it will be interesting to see how they take advantage of this (and good luck, guys and gals).
There is even more attention now toward window managers like Openbox and Fluxbox, as the current desktop environment "crisis" ushers in a sort of renaissance for window managers that gives users a new look at a facet of Linux that is not often discussed.
The bottom line is that's what it's all about: choice. Choice is good. Having choices is a virtue, not a vice. It's simple: Get that and you get FOSS.
[Note to the Linux Foundation: You may think that firstname.lastname@example.com works, but I'm still getting bouncing e-mails across a wide variety of machines using various e-mail programs on FOSS and non-FOSS platforms. Tell you what: I'll just print out my blog from yesterday and mail it to you. Watch your mailbox.]

What's that sound?
Originally I had planned to write about Philip Newborough of Lincoln, England, who some know as corenominal and who even others know as the lead developer of CrunchBang GNU/Linux. The tale I had originally conceived to put on pixels here was how Philip not only talks the FOSS talk, but he also walks the FOSS walk: He has decided to leave gainful employment recently in order to concentrate on developing CrunchBang.
That's no small feat, for starters, and it takes an enormous amount of courage to make that proverbial leap, especially when one has a family, as Philip does. Additionally, this leap of faith multiplies by a factor of several due to the enormous amount of confidence in the project one must have to press forward with this life-altering change.
Fortunately for Philip, his Debian-based distro CrunchBang does not let him down.
And while I had planned to write about Philip and how he took the plunge, I thought it would be a better blog to talk about the improvements he has made to what can clearly be described as the best distro you've never heard of.
With the cacophony of writers singing the praises of Linux Mint on the release of Linux Mint 12 Lisa, it might be a good idea to listen to the more dulcet tones of a Crash and a Bang and take a look the new release of CrunchBang Statler as well.
Over the weekend, Philip made available some updated CrunchBang Statler images. The changes were somewhat profound and, as Philip points out in his blog, "the new images are not really about additional features, but more about what has been removed and/or cleaned up (although there are a few new features to look forward to)."
CrunchBang is going the window manager route with Openbox, so that means Xfce version of CrunchBang is retired. the main thing to have been removed/retired is the Xfce version. "Besides," Philip writes, "there are plenty of brilliant Xfce based distributions available, and if you know what you are doing, installing Xfce under Debian is really not too difficult."
GDM? Gone, and it's replaced by SLiM.
Plymouth? Gone, and the decision to remove it was really a personal preference. "I apologise to any bling lovers, but personally, I believe that graphical boot loaders take away more than they give," Philip writers. "Also, CrunchBang is not really an exercise in branding and so removing a flashing logo is not a problem at all."
So what's new and/or added to CrunchBang Statler?
Openbox 3.5 — The latest and greatest version of the window manager.
Iceweasel/Firefox 8 replaces Chromium 9 — CrunchBang seems to switch back-and-forth between default browsers, according to Philip, probably like a lot of users
do. "I do not think this is problem, but merely reflects the state of browser development and availability at the time." Agreed.
Geany replaces gedit — Geany is highly configurable, has lots of great plugins and is desktop environment independent. So it serves as an adequate replacement.
Gigolo and Thunar for managing connections to remote file systems — CrunchBang Statler includes Gigolo, configuring it to work out-of-the-box with Thunar. It is now simple to connect to remote file systems via SSH and Samba, among others.
LibreOffice replaces OpenOffice.org — Writes Philip: "Actually, CrunchBang ships with AbiWord and Gnumeric, but many people choose to install a more feature rich office suite via the CrunchBang post installation script. The script has been changed to suggest LibreOffice."
I've been using CrunchBang since July on a second laptop that usually accompanies me wherever I go (long story there, but part of it can be found in an old blog here). I have always liked the speed CrunchBang afforded this old laptop, and if it runs this well on older hardware, it must fly on newer machines.
You can easily consider me a convert to the ranks of the CrunchBangers, and as such I put my money where my mouth is, so to speak. Philip and CrunchBang are raising funds to get things off the ground, and I'd invite you to join me in donating to help CrunchBang along.
So thanks to Philip and the CrunchBang team for making an excellent distro.

Getting out the vote
Yes, I know LinuxCon has come and gone, and I think they've got the publicity thing covered, especially with the 20-year thing, the gala party, and with Linus being there and all. The buzz is still going, and that's good. But if you're going to a Linux show, make it the Ohio LinuxFest in September. Bradley Kuhn and Cathy Malmrose are keynoting — along with Jon "maddog" Hall — so you'll not want to miss that (especially Cathy — Go ZaReason!).
With the upcoming deadline for the Linux Journal Readers' Choice 2011 Awards upon us — it closes this Saturday — other bloggers have been been taking to beating the drum and holding the phone for their favorites.
Not to be outdone, of course, there are a few candidates on the LJ ballot that deserve special mention. If I were campaigning for them, I'd definitely cast votes for items in the following categories (note, however, the list of categories and software on the ballot is long, and they're not all here):
Best Linux Distribution: No question, hands down. Fedora. Judging which is the best distro is akin to picking the best ice cream flavor — each of us has our own favorites, and hopefully you'll vote for yours. Mine comes in blue, is based on Red Hat, has the best desktop background release after release (the Design Team at Fedora is the best in the FOSS realm, period), it's always rock solid, and even if I can't use the default GNOME 3 desktop, Fedora runs great under KDE or Xfce. Fedora is reaching a point now where the myth that it's "only for experience users" is falling by the wayside, and if a lack of confidence in your skills has kept you from using Fedora, you should give it a try.
Best Desktop Environment: Oh, look! A minefield! Let's skip through it! You all know how I feel about GNOME 3; the aspect that I can't use it due to older equipment moreso than anything else (if I could vote for GNOME 2.32, that would be great). KDE? I like KDE though — truth in advertising — I'm a post-KDE 4.x user and not familiar with the way things used to be (and not familiar with why there's such a hubbub about it). I don't know why Openbox and Fluxbox, both windows managers, are in this category, and why isn't there a separate WM category? How did I vote? I'm cast a vote this year for Xfce, because I'm using it on Fedora 15 and will be using it again on Fedora 16, and while it's reputation is a lightweight environment, I'm finding there's a significant degree of tweakability to it. Also, if you really like WMs, I'd vote for OpenBox.
Best Web Browser: Konqueror. Just kidding. While there are some advantages to Konqueror that do not involve Web browsing, for getting on the information superhighway I usually go with Firefox, though on the Windows box at the newspaper I use Chrome. It's a toss up between those two.
Best E-mail Client: Another minefield and another tough call. What I use most is Thunderbird, because everybody knows the 'Bird is the word, and it's always worked well for me. What has always worked well for me in the past, too, and something I've always thought was one of KDE's stars is Kmail, which deserves a vote if you're so inclined. Claws is something I'm looking to try and haven't yet, so maybe if it wows me, it can be a leading candidate for 2012.
Best IRC client: Simple — it's irssi. It's what the cool kids use, once they graduate past Xchat. Konversation gets high marks, too, and readily available on KDE. But I voted for irssi.
Best Office Suite: OK, here's where we get to make history. Vote for LibreOffice — it's OpenOffice as it should be. It would be outrageously cool if LibreOffice took home the prize in this category, for starters because it deserves it, and it would be a good nose-thumbing to Oracle as well.
Best Graphic Design Tool: All of them. I'm serious. If there's ever been a category where each of the candidates deserves to win, it's this one. GIMP finally gets a single window, I'm told, thank $DIETY, but I ended up voting for . . . Inkscape. I'm not the artist in the family; that title goes to my daughter Mimi, but having drawn a little, I do like Inkscape a lot.
Best Audio Tool: Audacity. If Carla Schroder uses it and writes a book about it, then I'm there.
Best Kid Friendly Application: Another easy one — Tux Paint. I should be ashamed to admit this, but I'm not: Ever since Mimi was younger and we used Tux Paint together when she was learning her way around a computer, I have always loved this program and I still fiddle with it from time to time when I'm not doing anything else. Also, I count Tux Paint as one of the main influences in cultivating the artistic talent Mimi has shown.
Best Game: As bad as I am at it, I still think Super Tux gets the nod here, as it's a very creative game. Truth be told, I've never played any of the games on the list, except for Tux Racer, and I know my good friend Ken Starks over at the HeliOS Project is a fan of World of Goo.
Best Database: Our first heart-versus-head conundrum. If MySQL were the best, I may not vote for it on principle, but fortunately other databases have knocked MySQL from its perch at the top. I've only used two other databases and have liked them both: PostgreSQL and MariaDB. I really want to see MariaDB do well, but PostgreSQL is clearly the best of the bunch.
Best Programming Language: Again, the ice cream comparison comes into play and in my limited programming experience, I vote for what I know best. That would be Python.
Best scripting language: bash — accept no substitutes (OK, ksh if you need to).
Best IDE: Emacs in the hands of someone who really knows what they're doing (and sadly, that's not me) is simply an amazing tool. But I'm voting for vim. I can get more done using it, and I'm never backed into a corner, as I am sometimes with Emacs. Sorry, RMS.
Best Package Management Application: If it sounds like it tastes good, you have to go with it: yum. Honorable mention goes to Synaptic.
Best Content Management System: I've used Mambo and Joomla! in the past, and those happen to be my CMS roots. However, having used Drupal over the last few months, I have to say that I've made the switch. Drupal gets my vote this year.
Best Linux Laptop Vendor/Best Linux Desktop Workstation Vendor/Best Linux Server Vendor: I'm lumping these three categories together because the vote is the same in each category — ZaReason. The Berkeley, Calif., outfit makes outstanding, dependable hardware that's Linux based (or if you'd prefer, no operating system) and the service is top notch. You'll have to write in ZaReason in the Best Linux Desktop Workstation Vendor category, but you can mark the ballot in the other two.
Best Linux Book: A real page-turner, especially if you're into audio — "The Book of Audacity," by Carla Schroder. Buy it now.
Again, there's a plethora of other categories that I haven't touched on. Polls are open until Saturday. Vote early.

CrunchBang worth more than just a test run
Next up: OSCON. Get there if you can, and give them my regards because I can't make it this year 😦
Those of you who read these hallowed pages know I have an affinity for distros that — how can I put this tactfully? — are unique and can be arguably considered as "boutique" or specialized distributions. While others may consider them as such, I don't necessarily see them that way — I liken them to modified distros in the same way a Shelby Cobra is a step above a mere Ford Mustang, with the proviso of course that ultimately, like the Shelby, they're not for everyone.
When I test these distros — as I did recently with Kororaa and Bodhi (not to mention the BlueBubble spin of Fedora 15 that Juan Rodriguez built from the ground up, nearly single-handedly) — I generally put them through their paces and, until I update them, I don't use them on a regular basis despite the fact they remain on the laptops they're tested on. Generally after the review consisting of a day or two of use, I go back to my old trusty Fedora for daily digital duties.
However, I'm on my fourth day of using CrunchBang — also known in shorthand as #! — and, for once, the temptation to use it for longer that the simple "test drive" is overwhelming, to the point where it's completely feasible that I may be using this for quite awhile.
The last time I had an opportunity to use the words "crunch" and "bang" in the same sentence, I was describing how an old pickup truck had run a red light and, not seeing it thanks to traffic in the left lane, I ran into it with my Volkswagen Jetta last January.
Yet for those of you keeping score at home, there's nothing close to resembling a crash here. CrunchBang, so says its home page, "is a Debian GNU/Linux based distribution offering a great blend of speed, style and substance. Using the nimble Openbox window manager, it is highly customisable (Editor's Note: That British English for "customizable") and provides a modern, full-featured GNU/Linux system without sacrificing performance."
Without sacrificing performance — let me emphasize this for a moment, because when I first used CrunchBang, running the ThinkPad T30 from a USB stick, the performance from the live media was the fastest I've ever experienced from live media. I'll give credit to the Openbox desktop atop the Debian Squeeze for that. Further, installing it on a hard drive and running it for the last few days, the speed with which this old T30 runs is nothing short of remarkable.
For the uninitated, the Openbox desktop can take a little getting used to, with navigation being a little different than some of the other, more common desktop environments. But what you give up in lacking familiarity (albeit temporarily) you get back with speed and efficiency — I would go out on a limb and assume that the processor temperature never going over 50 has to do with the fact that the ThinkPad's not breaking a sweat thanks to the lighter desktop.
One of the features that I found astounding in CrunchBang was that the VLC Media Player, for the first time, actually worked on this old Thinkpad; I've never been able to get it to run on other distros. I watched part of "Mr. Baseball" on a laptop which had never shown a DVD before. Also, CrunchBang comes with Chromium as a web browser, with Flash support — this may not appeal to some free-as-in-freedom software advocates, but for those who absolutely, positively must have their YouTube and other Flash-driven sites, it saves those users from having to set it up themselves.
A deal-breaker that became a deal-maker: The only quirk it took awhile to overcome was not being able — at least immediately — to replace OpenOffice.org with LibreOffice. There are workarounds outlined on the CrunchBang forums, however the way I did it was to follow the instructions on the forum regarding changing a Debian repository and changing Synaptic to "Download from : Server for United States."
CrunchBang is probably not for the neophyte, but if you've been using GNU/Linux and FOSS for about a year or longer and you are comfortable tweaking your system, you should have no trouble getting up to speed on this quick distro. The site does have a caveat on the "about page" at the bottom that "CrunchBang Linux is not recommended for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage. CrunchBang Linux could possibly make your computer go CRUNCH! BANG! Therefore CrunchBang Linux comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by applicable law."
I think the lawyers made them say that, because after four days of tweaking, some of which not exactly the most advised (but nonetheless corrected), I have yet to make it go "CRUNCH! BANG!" In fact, I think I may keep the drive with this distro installed in the ThinkPad for awhile for use on a daily basis.
Finally, the naming convention for CrunchBang does not escape mention: Currently, CrunchBang is based on Debian Squeeze — keep that letter S in mind — and the name for the current CrunchBang version is Statler, as in Waldorf and Statler, the two elderly gentlemen in the balcony on "The Muppet Show."
CrunchBang is one of the more pleasant surprises on the Linux distro scene, and it's clearly worth a test drive. Or more.

Learning how to healthily grieve is foundational to experiencing peace in the midst of a broken world. We all experience various forms of loss, from the "little" disappointments that we don't even consciously notice, to the catastrophic losses that feel as though they will drown us. We are relational beings who are meant to grieve and work through all of these in the context of relationships. As one who is no stranger to loss, I know how scared we can be to face our grief and loss. And I know the great peace and strength that comes through doing so. I would be honored to guide and walk with you in your grief journey, helping you to eventually find new life on the other side of your loss.

Strategic Planning
Strategic Planning at Rowan University:
Toward the "Responsive and Responsible University"
Welcome to Rowan University's Strategic Planning website!
While maintaining its fundamental Mission, the University has gone through a period of rapid yet monumental change. The Medical and Health Sciences Education Restructuring Act, signed by the Governor of New Jersey in August 2012, designated Rowan as the second comprehensive public research institution in the State and integrated the School of Osteopathic Medicine (RowanSOM) in Stratford, New Jersey. With the addition of RowanSOM, Rowan became one of only two public universities in the United States with medical schools offering both the M.D. and D.O. degrees, the other being Michigan State University. RowanSOM joins the Cooper Medical School of Rowan University (CMSRU), itself a relatively new addition to the University. Authorized by an Executive Order of the Governor in 2009, CMSRU welcomed its inaugural class in August 2012 and will see this class graduate in May of 2016. These remarkable developments were preceded by an earlier wave of progress initiated by the $100 million gift bestowed on the University by Henry Rowan in 1992 and culminating in the opening of the College of Engineering in 1996, now nationally recognized for its innovative curriculum.
To optimize these new opportunities and the many competitive advantages the University has gained, President Ali A. Houshmand launched a new strategic planning initiative. In January 2013, the President's Cabinet developed the One-Page Strategic Plan to anchor strategic planning across the University and promote alignment, agility, and accountability. The One-Page Strategic Plan is a contextual model informed by contemporary strategic planning insights and specifically the concept of the "responsive and responsible university." The core of the strategic plan is the Four Pillars.
This website will be updated as the University's strategy develops and progresses.

GBV is my favorite band, perhaps of all time, and even I have to say that the news of a 3rd record in 2012 jumps the shark.

Especially when even the first one just wasn't all that good. Like you, nosepail, I had really high hopes for that record and it really just does not do it for me. I'm not sure I'll buy the next one unless one of you tells me it's completely amazing.

It's an odd thing to call a guy who's released an album every two weeks for the last 20 years lazy, but I kind of think Pollard is. He's long ago decided that it's much easier to just record the snippet of a catchy melody and the fragment of an evocative lyric and call it done rather than put in the time and effort to actually develop those basic building blocks into finished songs.
If he took the time to develop the best material on all three of the GBV albums he's slated for this year (and I won't even get into the inevitable solo albums and side projects), he'd likely have one amazing album instead of three intriguing but ultimately frustrating ones.
He's managed to make the haphazard nature of his work part of his appeal and I'm as guilty as anyone for enabling him to, because I'm willing to put up with 10 frustrating snippets for every "Smothered in Hugs" or "Gold Star for Robot Boy" or "Hold on Hope," to say nothing of songs that manage to be both brilliant songs and frustrating snippets simultaneously, like "Jar of Cardinals" or "Game of Pricks." Moments like those have always made it possible to ignore or forgive the ginormous amount of promising but ultimately discarded waste Pollard has peddled to his fanbase as finished product over the last 20 years.
But I think he's going to be pushing his luck with three GBV albums in one year. In these days where it's much easier to have complete access to someone's work without actually buying it than it is to find someplace that's actually selling it, flooding the market with half-assery is perhaps not the best strategy to take in order to earn a living in the music business. When people can now preview an entire album before dropping $12 on it, it's much easier for them to say "You know, of the 27 tracks listed here, only 3 of them are actually songs. I think I'll save my money" than it used to be.
Now more than ever, Pollard and company might be better served if they would actually turn a critical ear towards their own work once in a while and said to themselves, "you know, this thing could be really good if we worked on it for another couple of days" instead of "Right. Good enough! Next!"

Breno, "Hold on Hope," is universally loathed. Do you actually like that one? Just curious. (I totally agree with your general point.)

Yeah, I like "Hold On Hope." Call me crazy.
Though I also never paid it much mind until Glen Campbell's cover of it, so it may have more to do with his version, as it's somewhat more powerful when sung by a guy facing down Alzheimer's.

Well put! You just articulated all the problems I have with Pollard and GbV.
The GbV best-of convinced me that there's a great rock band waiting to get out of Pollard's head, but that he doesn't give enough of a shit to give it a hand.

I don't find his work to be haphazard at all. All of the Boston Spaceships albums kick uniform ass. I thought Reunion album #1 was great. I can't wait for #2 to drop next month and I'm geeked to see there will be a third. I can't imagine any fan of Alien Lanes not enjoying his latest solo album Mouseman Cloud.
I think in the internet age most listeners don't have time or the attention span for Bob's sprawling output. Then again, I enjoy most of the Circus Devils albums.
If I have any criticism of Bob it would be that he tends to release too many albums that sound the same. This would include most of the albums released under his own name with Todd Tobias producing. Every once in a while his solo albums are pretty good (Mouseman Cloud, Elephant Jokes), but the rest by and large stick to a generic mid-fi indie rock template. I like my Uncle Bob to be weird and make others uncomfortable at Thanksgiving dinner.

Gallery: JPL's "Streaming Tissue Toss"
LA CANADA FLINTRIDGE - The art of toilet papering went to a new level Friday, as more than 20 teams at Jet Propulsion Laboratory competed to fling their roll the farthest using catapults, trebuchets and slingshots.
Eighteen Los Angeles-area school teams and a few JPL engineers built homemade devices for the "Streaming Toilet Tissue Toss" in an attempt to get the longest unbroken stream of toilet paper.
The contest is the latest version of JPL's Invention Challenge, now in its 15th year.
The longest toss, and first place, was by Monroe Magnet Middle School from Inglewood.
The six-member team beat out plenty of high schoolers with a toss of 35 feet, 5 inches using their Roman catapult design.
"From beginning to end, I think we had a huge difference," team leader Samantha Martinez said.
The Monroe team had fine-tuned their device since the beginning of the school year, spending three days each week after school.
The key to Monroe's victory turned out to be the last-minute addition of tape on the catapult, which ensured the toilet paper didn't break as it unfurled through the air.
Village Christian High School in Sun Valley took second place, while South Pasadena High School was third.
The nine-member South Pasadena team also took an award for most creative with its catapult named STRADA, or Super Torquey Really Amazing Design of Awesomeness.
The catapult even came with its own toilet seat, occupied by a tissue mannequin named FLUSH, the Fabulous Latrine Ultra Superhero.
Though South Pasadena performed well, team member Sebastien Whetzel was disappointed that the 32-foot, 1-inch launch didn't go as far as it did in testing.
"It didn't have enough power on it, but it did get the backspin," he said.
The JPL winner at 32 feet, 4 inches was well-respected radar astronomer Richard Goldstein, who often enters and wins in the Invention Challenge.
JPL hosts the contest as a way to encourage student interest in science, technology, engineering and math.
Using toilet paper this year brought a little extra excitement to the contest, said event organizer Paul MacNeal, a mechanical systems engineer.
"The idea was sparked by just my Halloween adventures as a kid," he said.
The objective of Invention Challenge changes every year, with previous contests involving balloon cars, jelly beans, bowling balls and ping-pong balls.
Last year's contest was "Kick Into the Can," involving devices that could kick a football into a trash can.
Updated Dec. 8 to correct name of Village Christian High School

Street Vacations
What is a Street Vacation?
The term Street Vacation refers to the process where an individual (who owns property adjacent to the right-of-way) can petition the City Council to acquire public right-of-way for private use. Public right-of-way is any property where the City has a right to use the land for street purposes whether or not the right-of-way has ever been improved.
Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) administers the process for the review and analysis of street vacations.
First: The City Council will consider the impact of the proposed vacation upon the circulation, access, utilities, light, air, open space and views provided by the right-of-way. These are defined by the policies as the public trust functions of the right-of-way and are given primary importance in evaluating vacation proposals. The policies require mitigation of the adverse effects upon these public trust functions. What constitutes adequate mitigation will be determined by the City Council.
Second: The Council will consider the land use impacts of the proposed vacation. A proposed vacation may be approved only when the increase in development potential that is attributable to the vacation would be consistent with City land use policies for the area in which the right-of-way is located. The Petitioner must provide specific information about what the vacation contributes to the development potential of the site.
Third: Proposed vacations may be approved only when they provide a long-term benefit to the general public. Vacations will not be approved to achieve short-term public benefits or for the sole benefit of individuals. Mitigation of the adverse effects of a vacation does not in itself constitute a public benefit. The petition must contain a specific proposal for meeting the public benefit requirement.
The City Council will weigh the public trust and land use effects of a vacation, mitigating measures and the public benefit provided by the vacation to determine whether or not the vacation is in the public interest. In balancing these elements of the public interest, the Council will place primary importance upon protecting the public trust functions of the right-of-way.
The Street Vacation process is provided for in State Law (RCW 35.79) and the Seattle Municipal Code (SMC 15.62). The City's Street Vacation policies are contained in Clerk File 310078.
Community Notification
The Petitioner is required to provide information regarding the proposed vacation and project to appropriate groups in order satisfactorily identify pertinent issues. The main opportunities of community notification are:
What is the petition process?
Petition - A Street Vacation is initiated by a petition to the City Council. The petition must include signatures of owners of more than two-thirds of the property abutting the street proposed to be vacated. SDOT will prepare the petition form upon written request. SDOT provides the staffing for the review and analysis of petitions.
Upon receipt of a signed petition, together with a $450 filing fee and all required supporting documents describing the project, the petition is checked for valid signatures. If the petition contains the necessary signatures, it is filed in the City Clerk's Office and referred to the City Council.
Review and Issue Identification – Project information including site maps, project information, environmental analysis and other supporting information is circulated to various departments, public agencies and community groups for their review and comment on the proposed vacation.
Community GroupsThis first level of review is intended to identify issues related to a proposed vacation and subsequent development. This includes technical issues such as utility or transportation impacts, as well as urban design issues, and land use impacts. Broader policy issues such as community concerns and compliance with Comprehensive Plan or Neighborhood Plan goals and other City policies and goals are also analyzed. This phase of the review should result in a clear picture of the proposed development, any issues or policy questions, and should produce a clear description of the public benefit provided by the proposal. During this phase of review, the petition will generally be reviewed by the Seattle Design Commission. Responding to issues and refining the public benefit proposal may involve significant design changes or revisions by the Petitioner.
SDOT Recommendation - After receiving all the comments on the potential vacation, all environmental documents, and other required information, and after completion of the review by the Design Commission and other reviewers, SDOT will review the proposal for compliance with the Vacation Policies and other applicable policies. SDOT will prepare an analysis for the City Council including a recommendation whether the vacation should be granted or denied, recommended conditions, mitigation measures, and the specific public benefits of the proposal.
Public Hearing - The Transportation Committee of the City Council holds a public hearing on the proposed vacation. Owners and residents of properties within a 300-foot radius of the vacation area are notified of the hearing no less than 20 days in advance. The property is also posted, the notice is included in the City's general mail release, and notices are displayed in three of the most public places in the City. Following the public hearing the Committee will consider the public comments, the SDOT recommendation and other relevant information and vote on the proposed vacation. The Committee may accept or alter the SDOT recommendation, including altering or adding conditions or mitigation measures or refining the public benefit proposal. The Committee then forwards its findings to the full Council for consideration and final action.
Final Ordinance – The vacation approval process is in two parts. If the Council grants the vacation, the Petitioner receives conditional approval and may proceed to develop the project and work on meeting all the conditions imposed on the project. When all fees have been paid, any easements recorded and conveyed, and all conditions are satisfied, as determined by the City, the City Council will pass an ordinance formally vacating the right-of-way. If real property is conveyed, all appraisals, deed conveyance, title work, and environmental assessments must be completed prior to the passage of the ordinance. The ordinance is signed by the Mayor and recorded in the King County Records for public record. A signed copy of the ordinance is then sent to the Petitioner.
What are the costs for a street vacation?
Initial Filing Fee: - $450 non-refundable filing fee,
Post Hearing Fee: - $300 for all property, but $150 for single family residential zoned property,
Appraisal Fee: - the actual cost of the appraisal; but $600 is the cost for single family residential zoned property.
Vacation Fee: - the full appraised fair market value is required for streets and alleys that have been a part of the dedicated public right-of-way for 25 years or more.
If real property is conveyed in satisfaction of the vacation fee, the property must acceptable to the City. The full appraised value of the land will be credited against the vacation fee.
When a project is nearing completion, the City contracts with an appraiser for an appraisal summary report. The cost is typically $5,000 or more and is the responsibility of the Petitioner. The appraiser is provided with relevant project information, including conditions imposed on the vacation. The appraiser will discuss the project with the Petitioner and consider any information such as utility easements or conditions that may affect the land value. It is the responsibility of the Petitioner to provide the appraiser with any information that may have a bearing on the valuation.
The vacation fee is determined by the appraisal process as required by Code. The fee is not set by the City, and the City has no authority to negotiate the fee. If questions are raised concerning the appraisal, a second appraisal may be requested and an independent review of both appraisals may be required. This cost is the responsibility of the Petitioner.
Appraisals are time-sensitive and will generally be considered valid for a period of 6 months. Any significant delay in the payment of the fee may require an updated appraisal. The street vacation fee must be paid prior to the passage of the final vacation legislation.
The Petitioner is required to provide SDOT with quarterly reports detailing the progress on developing the project and meeting the conditions imposed by the City Council.
If the Petitioner cannot complete the vacation process within the five-year time frame, the Petitioner must, in writing, request additional time. The City Council will determine whether an extension of time is appropriate.
How long does the vacation process take?
Submittal of Quarterly Reports specifically outlining progress on the development and fulfilling the conditions;
For official property and land use records contact King County Department of Records and Elections, Records Division, at 296-1570 or at 311 King County Administration Building, 500 Fourth Avenue, Seattle, Washington 98104.
Plat maps may be obtained from Seattle Public Utility, Engineering Services Records Vault, Seattle Municipal Tower, 700 Fifth Avenue, Suite 4798, 684-5132.
Design Commission information may be obtained from Valerie Kinast at 233-7911. Please call 3-4 weeks in advance of the desired presentation date. Staff can help answer any questions about the Commission and set up a preparatory meeting to discuss project details.
Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections information may be obtained at 684-8600 or on the 20th floor of Seattle Municipal Tower, 700 Fifth Avenue, Seattle, Washington 98104-5043.Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping services are available at 684-0965 or on the 20th floor of Seattle Municipal Tower, 700 Fifth Avenue, Seattle, Washington.
How do I proceed?
STEP ONE: Before beginning the vacation process.
1. Community notification: Prior to beginning the vacation process contact community or neighborhood organizations and business groups in the area where the project is located and provide information about the proposal. Work with these groups to identify any community concerns or issues.
2. Feasibility Assessment: Contact SDOT Street Vacation staff to discuss the feasibility of your proposal. In most circumstances, Street Vacation staff will schedule a feasibility assessment meeting including other SDOT staff, City Design, Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections and other City staff as needed. Staff will review your proposal and provide a threshold assessment of the feasibility of a potential vacation whenever possible.
STEP TWO: Requesting a vacation petition
If the vacation seems feasible following the threshold assessment meeting, you must request a petition in writing. Written petition request must include the following information:
Upon receipt of a written request containing the information listed above, SDOT will prepare a petition form and return it to the contact person for the Petitioner's signatures, filing fee, and supporting documentation.
STEP THREE: Submitting a signed Vacation Petition and supporting documentation.
Petitions must be submitted with all supporting documentation outlined below. Petitions submitted without the required information will be returned to the Petitioner.
Please provide two copies plus an electronic copy on disc of the signed Vacation Petition and all the supporting documentation and maps. The submittal should include a response to all of the following items and the responses must be numbered and in the order listed below:
1. Filing Fee: Check for $450.00 filing fee payable to City of Seattle Department of Finance.
2. Required Signatures: Signed and completed petition with signatures representing ownership of 2/3 of the property abutting the right-of-way to be vacated as required by state law. Specifically, the petition must contain the signatures of the property owners on both sides of the affected street (alley), even though only a portion (or side) is sought for vacation. For property owned by a business entity, the petition must contain notarized signatures of two authorized officers. The submittal must include documentation (such as articles of incorporation or other organizational documents demonstrating the authority to bind the organization) and names and titles of officers who are authorized to bind the corporation.
3. Community Information: The Street Vacation Policies require community notification prior to beginning the vacation review process. List the community or neighborhood organizations and business groups that were provided information about the project, and include contact names, addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses.
4. Development Team: Provide information about the development team, including the architect, engineer, land use attorney, artist, or other team members and include name, address, phone number and email address.
5. Right of Way Proposed for Vacation : Identify the public right-of-way proposed for vacation. Provide a legal description of the right-of-way proposed to be vacated; survey and title work may be required.
6. Project Location : Provide the project address; the boundaries of the block where the project is located; the neighborhood or area of the City; the Neighborhood Planning Area; the current zoning for the area and any zoning overlays or special review districts.
7. Reason for the Vacation: Describe why the vacation is being sought and list specifically what the vacation contributes to the development of the project. Provide a "no vacation" alternative that describes what could be built on the site without a vacation. Include existing conditions and any constraints, such as the topography that impact the potential development of the site.
8. Project Description: Describe the current conditions on the site and the existing uses. Provide specific project information. This should include a clear description of the project, including: the uses, dimensions, height, stories, parking spaces, etc in sufficient detail to understand how the site will be developed and how the project will function.
9. Other Land Use Actions: Provide information about other land use actions, such as a rezone, Major Institution Master Plan, or administrative or Council conditional use, or review from the Landmarks Preservation Board, or any other special review. SDOT will need final recommendations resulting from these reviews when it becomes available.
10. Vacation Policies/ Transportation Impacts: Describe the transportation impacts and address both the impacts from the loss of the right-of-way currently and in the future as well as the transportation impacts from the new development. Describe any impacts on the transportation system, which includes impacts to pedestrians, bicycles, transit and vehicles. Describe impacts to the street grid and development pattern in the area and open space value of the street right-of-way; address both current and future impacts. A traffic analysis will be required but you may submit the traffic analysis later in the process with any other required environmental documents.
11. Vacation Policies/Utility Impacts: During the City review of the proposed vacation, the Petitioner should work with the utilities that may be impacted by the vacation and develop a utility mitigation plan to address, in detail, how utilities impacts will be addressed. This plan must be competed before the petition proceeds to City Council review.
12. Vacation Policies/Land Use Impacts: Address the land use impacts; specifically address the increase in development potential attributable to the vacation.

Discuss applicable Comprehensive Plan goals and other City and neighborhood land use and planning goals for the area.
13. Vacation Policies/Public Benefit: Provide a discussion of the public benefit proposal including how the public benefit proposal serves the general public. Include an itemized list that provides a detailed description of each element of the proposed public benefit. Benefits must be long term and must serve the general public not merely the users of the development. The public benefit must be benefits that are not required by the land use code or other regulations and for which no other development credit is sought.
14. Public Benefit Matrix: A number of factors will be considered in balancing your public benefit proposal with the public interest, provide a matrix that includes:
15. Site Maps: A copy of the plat map is required. Provide maps of the block(s) containing the project site that show all dimensions of the property and the development, and include total square footage. Provide the current ownership of each lot on the subject block.

First Look: Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs in 'Jobs' Biopic
It's actually happening: Ashton Kutcher is playing Steve Jobs. Look! Pictures!
-Lucia Peters
Just in case anyone was still holding out hope that maybe this whole Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs thing wasn't actually happening, I'm afraid I've got some bad news for you: It is. And we have photographic evidence.
These pics come to you via TMZ, who spotted the former That '70s Show star on his way to the set of the indie biopic Jobs this past Friday. Let's take a little bit of a closer look at him and his Starbucks cup:
Aaaand closer still:
Read Happy Birthday, Cate Blanchett! The Actress' 12 Most Stylish Roles
And just for kicks, here's an image People put together comparing the two gentlemen:
Well, they… certainly have the same wardrobe. According to TMZ, Ashton is wearing a black turtleneck, jeans, and New Balance sneakers: Steve's signature look. His hair looks a little better groomed than Steve's did when he was that age:
Other than that, though, it's a pretty decent lookalike.
But does anyone else remain unconvinced that Ashton has the acting chops to pull the whole thing off? Because try as I might, I just can't quite get there—especially after that disastrous and remarkably stupid PopChips incident. Am I alone here?
Who knows; I suppose we'll just have to wait and see. Maybe he'll surprise us all and burst out of the woodwork with a stunning performance. Jobs is due out sometime in 2013.
I still wouldn't date him, though.

Suppose I have a link that has an image background and it will look like this (see attachment) - having a background with rounded corners:
I see my attachment is 'pending approval' - if you can't see it then have a look at Home of the Mozilla Project - what I meant was a button similar to the orange 'Sign me up!' except with white text on dark background. The important thing is that the rounded corners are transparent.
BUTTON
a {
background: url(button.png);
color: white;
The problem is that the text colour in the link is white and the background of my page is white so that without the background image the text is not visible. This means that before the browser loads the background image the text is not visible, which I would like to avoid.
I used to do this:
a {
background: url(button.png) navy;
color: white;
which would display a dark background before the images are loaded - but now my background images have transparency and I can't simply apply a background colour because it will leak through the transparent areas.
Apart from links  I will also have headers
 with similar backgrounds and would like a relatively clean solution to this. Will I have to use some additional wrapping elements like  or
? I'd like to avoid that and also preserve transparency if possible.
You can include a background colour that sits behind the background image.
a {background:url(button.png) blue;}
It is good practice to do this on all background images, and choose a colour that is as similar to the overall image tones as possible. This ensures that the site looks close to the design even when the image can't be displayed.
One thing to note is that if you have transparent sections of the image, the background colour will show through these.
Thanks, but as you can see I mentioned this method in my post above. The question is what do I do if I need transparent sections?
hmm I went to approve your attachment and it disappeared. Attach it again if you need to.
I don't see a solution to this other than changing the text colour to a dark colour to start with and then when the page has loaded change it back to white via script etc.
The attachment seems to be there - I can see it.
The solution with scripts doesn't look elegant to me. But as a last resort I could load the background images via a script and after onload replace the background colour with the image and change the colour of the text.
Or perhaps this:
BUTTON
And apply background colour only to the span element, the span can be smaller than the whole link and if only the corners are transparent then the background colour will not show through.
The ideal would a css property that would replace the background colour with the background image when loaded but as far as I know there's nothing like that in any specifications.
Yes you could apply a background to the inner element but of course that will give you a solid block effect around the text but may be a good compromise especially as one of the guidelines of accessibility is that text should be visible if images are missing and if your background image is missing or the user has turned images off then the white text on a white background will otherwise be invisible.
Sorry, didn't read your first post properly!
If your page behind the image has a solid background then you could replace the transparent parts with that solid colour. If your page behind the image has a textured, patterned or picture background then it's going to be trickier. There may be other options depending on the shape of the image and where the transparency is, can you give us a link to a live/demo example?
I don't have a demo yet but this is not a real problem that I'm facing at the moment with my design - it's more that I'm cautious and trying to make all the css elements as flexible as possible. At the moment the background is white so there's no problem but it is possible I will have part of the page on a different background and I just wanted to be prepared ahead and use transparency/opacity wherever possible instead of fixed colours.
For now, I'll get rid of transparency and choose better accessibility. I'd use transparent png's if I found a good enough solution.

where are you based vinyl?
grangemouth buddy
Ive just started kickboxing, with a view to hopefully move on to MMA, does anyone know of a club in the Wigan area?
Tom posts on here from time to time, so drop him a pm
At first I misread that post as Tom Blackledge.... knows he's shit.......I thought blimey, leg-pulling on this forum has reached new depths
Why are you diving in straight away and looking at supplements and vitamins etc?
If you're not used to training at all your best bet is just to go join an MMA (or boxing, BJJ, Muay Thai etc) gym and training there for a long while before worrying about anything else. They will get you fit and give you the basic skills you need for fighting.
Once you have got a good base fitness level, only then do you need to start on supplements etc.
Even if you want to do powerlifting or bodybuilding, you're better off training without supplementation first. You won't be capable of training hard enough to really need it at first.

Remarks by Ambassador Wittig to the UN Press Corps on Sudan
First, our respect and congratulations to the Sudanese people.
Looking ahead is important.
Institution-building in the South and not to forget the North - this is an important point.
We want to stabilize the North and there are a couple of things that we can do like debt-relief and economic co-operation. Of course in the South institution building is very important, but we should not forget the North.
The Council should be engaged and remain engaged over the next months up to July when the CPA is expiring and we probably see the light of a new state there.
My own country is more than ready to contribute.

I have a very sweet and small 8 lb. kitty who has discovered how warm and cozy my son's bassinet is! The past few nights, she has hopped in and curled up on or near his legs.
Even when I toss her out, she sneaks back in after I've fallen asleep. My son is right next to my bed and he wears a Snuza, but I'm worried the cat's movements could throw it off (if for some god-awful reason he stops breathing.)
I'm also just not sure if it's safe yet for him to sleep near a pet. What do you think?

The Flight of Gemma Hardy
The Flight of Gemma Hardy
Harper, Hardcover, 9780062064226, 464pp.
Publication Date: January 1, 2012
When her widower father drowns at sea, Gemma Hardy is taken from her native Iceland to Scotland to live with her kind uncle and his family. But the death of her doting guardian leaves Gemma under the care of her resentful aunt, and it soon becomes clear that she is nothing more than an unwelcome guest at Yew House. When she receives a scholarship to a private school, ten-year-old Gemma believes she's found the perfect solution and eagerly sets out again to a new home. However, at Claypoole she finds herself treated as an unpaid servant.
To Gemma's delight, the school goes bankrupt, and she takes a job as an au pair on the Orkney Islands. The remote Blackbird Hall belongs to Mr. Sinclair, a London businessman; his eight-year-old niece is Gemma's charge. Even before their first meeting, Gemma is, like everyone on the island, intrigued by Mr. Sinclair. Rich (by Gemma's standards), single, flying in from London when he pleases, Hugh Sinclair fills the house with life. An unlikely couple, the two are drawn to each other, but Gemma's biggest trial is about to begin: a journey of passion and betrayal, redemption and discovery, that will lead her to a life of which she's never dreamed.
Set in Scotland and Iceland in the 1950s and '60s, The Flight of Gemma Hardya captivating homage to Charlotte BrontË's Jane Eyreis a sweeping saga that resurrects the timeless themes of the original but is destined to become a classic all its own.
"A delight....Livesey is a lovely, fluid writer."
-Sarah Towers, New York Times Book Review
"A cunning adaptation."
-Liza Nelson, O, the Oprah Magazine
"Absorbing….Ms. Livesey writes lovely, understated prose…[her] treks through the novel's pleasing natural landscapes…are almost as engaging as her navigation of Gemma's restless psyche."
-Sam Sacks, Wall Street Journal
"Livesey delivers a suspenseful, curl-up-by-the-fire romance with a willfully determined protagonist who's worthy of her literary role model."
"Jane Eyre gets a terrific modern makeover….Livesey works some sort of magic in The Flight of Gemma Hardy, which is too entertaining to be superfluous, too wise in its understanding of human nature to be a mere retread."
-Connie Ogle, Miami Herald
"Livesey has pulled off the near-impossible task that the homage begs an author to do: create an original, fresh work that shines in its own light, while bringing an established, esteemed work to the attention of new readers, and showing off previously unseen facets to its fans…."
-Meredith Maran, Boston Globe
"Livesey follows Brontë's form, but so convincingly does she create her own character's life and surroundings that the original soon recedes, its story a beloved, familiar body dressed in an entirely new and vibrant wardrobe."
-Atlantic Monthly
"Marvelous....Gemma Hardy is one of those page turners in which you occasionally have to wrest yourself away from the plot to admire the language."
-Kristin Ohlson, Cleveland Plain Dealer
"A brilliantly paced contemporary adventure about a headstrong orphan's struggle to claim a place for her generous heart in a secret-laden, sometimes loveless world."
-Lisa Shea, Elle
"Inspired by Jane Eyre, Livesey (The House on Fortune Street) offers vibrant prose and a feisty heroine in her fascinating sixth novel…. Captivating and moving, this book is a wonderful addition to Livesey's body of work."
-Publishers Weekly, starred review
"The portrait of a delicate, iron-willed girl, an orphan and a heroine in the grand tradition…. Here as in all of Livesey's novels, the real treasure is her gift for exploring the unreduced human psyche with all its radiant contradictions, mercurial insights, and desperate generosities."
-David Wroblewski, author of The Story of Edgar Sawtelle
"In this modern day retelling of Jane Eyre - trade horses for private jets - novelist Margot Livesey pays homage to Brontë's literary classic."
-Marie Claire, "Four New Page-Turners to Keep Bedside"

While running Fast Track in the "interactive" mode against an unpatched Win2K server, I can see where it has opened up a Meterpreter session and it continues on with other exploits. Is there a way to find out which "exploit" was used to gain that session?
Here is a clip of what I see on the screen.
(40/208 [0 sessions]): Launching exploit/windows/http/apache_modjk_overflow against 10.0.1.42:80...[*] Meterpreter session 1 opened (10.0.1.36:39953 -> 10.0.1.42:28682)
(57/208 [1 sessions]): Launching exploit/windows/smb/ms03_049_netapi against 10.0.1.42:139...[*] Job limit reached, waiting on modules to finish...[*] Meterpreter session 2 opened (10.0.1.36:36443 -> 10.0.1.42:27518)
Thanks for the insight
To answer my own question: Let it finish running and it will give the sessions and the exploits that were used. I was being a little impatient so as to move on to the next step. I lso thought there might have been an issue with the application. My bad.

Former Institute Lab Tech Julia Miller Returns as Salk's General Counsel
Julia Miller had to think a little too long and hard when someone once asked her what she envisioned as her dream job at the biotech company where she was working.
A UCSD graduate with a degree in Cell Biology and Biochemistry who also spent two years as a undergraduate student in Wylie Vale's lab at Salk, Miller was enjoying her work in both the basic science and product development divisions, but the answer to the "dream job" question just didn't come very easily, she says.
"I realized I didn't really want any job in the company. I didn't want my boss's job, or to work in a department other than R&D such as marketing or sales. So I needed to figure out what I really wanted to do," Miller says.
The answer became abundantly clear when she started working for the biotech company's patent lawyer after returning from an extended trip to South East Asia. She had toyed with idea of going to law school before, but the experience at the firm solidified her decision. Within a year she enrolled at Boston University School of Law.
"I saw that I could be involved in the legal world, while applying some of the same skills that one uses in science," Miller says. "In the scientific discovery process, you put forth a hypothesis, then test it with experiments and analyze the results before giving a fair and objective interpretation of the data. And similarly in law, you gather and analyze facts and apply the law to those facts to reach conclusions and make judgments about what to do next."
Now after 10 years as a litigator and corporate patent attorney in the biotech field, Miller has returned to the Salk Institute to serve as its General Counsel. In her role, she is primarily charged with overseeing the Institute's commercial contracts, facilitating the technology transfer and licensing process, assisting with regulatory affairs and compliance, managing litigation matters, and providing legal counsel to the Institute's senior management team.
She spent the later half of her career at Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker LLP in San Diego in the corporate department focused on contracts, so in addition to having the essential experience, Miller says she's pleased to be back in a scientific environment – Salk's in particular.
"I always had a special place in my heart for the Institute, for the quality of the people and the science," she says. "I always kept it in the back of my mind that if I were to leave the law firm, it would be a dream to come back and work at the Salk Institute."
