any1 know if theres anything out there that might bring some waves in the near future?
thats my job.
not a whole lot to look at right now. we'll have to keep our eyes on a couple tropical waves for some possibilities next week.
everyone just pray for surf !
can't really tell too well but the time plot looks like it might be building a little saturday night?
oh you have no idea how desperate i am. haha. yea 7 wil b nice if it happens
I could be way off on this, but I hate to say that the tropics could very well slow down to a large dissapointment this year for east coast surfers, at least coming from the cape verdes. Alot of Dust, Dry Air, and the water temps aren't terribly warm in that area, not too mention the shear environment that they have to travel through. Of course it is ever changing and will largely due to the positions of the high Pressures in the atlantic and fronts that shoot off our coast.Looks like another blow up right off the coast of Africa, which more than likely will fizzle and lose convection rapidly. Its way too early to say that, but I would second guess a very active season for the mid july blow up that occured. Ah well, least we can view the WCT boys back in action in Padang for the sik search contest this week: http://live.ripcurl.com/?vividas :eek::eek:
i have this feeling that were going to get a tropical storm or a hurricane at the end of august and then the tropics are going to start getting crazy in september to the end of hurricane season. But thats my guess since it's been very quiet recently.
hope ur right. jeez, a waist glass day would b nice. or even thigh.
hopefully watever comes just grazes us and does no damage though. cuz thats a pain in the ass
for shizzle....

PHILADELPHIA – Entering his sixth season as head coach of Penn's wrestling program, Rob Eiter has added eight grapplers to his squad for the 2013-14 season. The group has combined for seven state or national prep championships and 15 overall podium finishes at the state and national level.
"It is always an exciting time to announce a new class of recruits to join our program," Eiter said. "We have worked hard to build on the storied tradition of Penn Wrestling with young men of sound character off the mat and strong ability on the mat. These eight student-athletes have bright futures and I am excited for them to join our team in the fall."
The group hails from seven different states from all across the country. Two student-athletes will come to University City from New York while one each will enroll at Penn after outstanding high school careers in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, Michigan, Virginia and California.
"Penn is an elite institution – both academically and athletically – with not only a national but international reach," said Eiter. "We pride ourselves on traveling the nation to bring in talent to our program and develop leaders on the mat and off."
Three of Penn's eight new wrestlers will come from the top two high school programs in the country. 197-pounder Frank Mattiace (2013) and lightweight Caleb Richardson (2011) are graduates of No. 1 Blair Academy in New Jersey, Richardson spending the last two seasons training at Olympic and Regional Training Centers before enrolling at Penn. Jeremy Schwartz, the lone Pennsylvania product in the class competed for No. 2 Wyoming Seminary after beginning his high school career at perennial Pennsylvania power Central Dauphin. In all, six of Penn's eight newest additions wrestled for high schools ranked inside InterMat's Top-50.
This group of eight will join a Penn squad which finished third at the EIWA Championships and second in the Ivy League after spending the last 13 weeks of 2012-13 ranked inside the Top-25 by the NWCA. The Quakers will return six placewinners from the 2013 EIWA Championships and five wrestlers who have competed at an NCAA Championships during their career.

Going to Paris in 1826, he became "immersed in the study of French opera, from Lully onward."
Lully became, after that event, the great dramatic musician of France.
His art was full of grace and delicacy, much more aristocratic than that of Lully.
Sometime in his youth he moved to Paris, where he was most likely trained by Lully.
But Lully died in 1315; and the story only shows the strength of the popular faith in alchemy.
It came to Paris in 1650, and was first set to music by Lully.
In the time of Lully and his school, the French were the leaders in musical painting, especially for the storms.
There are many examples by Lully and other Frenchmen of the 17th century.
Lully prigger, a rogue who steals wet clothes hung on lines to dry.
There is little, however, to connect Bruno with the substantive teaching of Lully, apart from the method.

Poor visibility closes section of Alligator Alley
Published: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 9:27 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 9:27 a.m.
NAPLES, Fla. — A portion of Alligator Alley has been closed for a second time this week due to poor visibility.
The Florida Highway Patrol says a section of Interstate 75 between Mile Marker 101 in Collier County and Mile Marker 23, which is the U.S. 27 exit, in Broward County is closed.
Motorists should seek alternate routes.
Troopers suggest taking Exit 101 in Collier County to U.S. 41, which is the Tamiami Trial, to head east. Westbound motorists are urged to head south on U.S. 27 to Krome Aveune, then south on State Road 997 to westbound U.S. 41.
FHP also closed U.S. 27, from Interstate 75 to State Road 80 in Palm Beach County.
The highway was also closed early Monday due to fog and smoke from a nearby brush fire.

Photo gallery: 'Justice for Trayvon'
SAN BERNARDINO -- About 30 protesters marched downtown in one of 100 "Justice for Trayvon" rallies affiliated with the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network on Saturday, the one-week anniversary of the Florida trial's end.
The turnout was a bit disappointing, said organizer Teena Moss of San Bernardino, but the peaceful passion shown by those who attended was not.
"We have to show the young people how to fight, and this is how to fight," Moss said, contrasting the law-abiding march from the County Government Center to the Police Station and back to violent protests Thursday night. "We're going to get something done peacefully. It will be peaceful, and most important, I think we will make a change."
The group aimed to raise awareness of what they view as the unjust acquittal of George Zimmerman in the slaying of teenager Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman's attorneys convinced a jury that he had killed Martin in self-defense, but protesters are pressing for federal charges against Zimmerman.
The Rev. Reginald Young, an associate pastor at Temple Missionary Baptist Church and a member of the local NAACP, brought a pamphlet with 10 "points of justice" the NAACP seeks in connection with the case.
They include abolishing "stand your ground" and other "laws that hide justice," creating a fund for victims of "unjust murders" and educating youth on how to interact with the police, Neighborhood Watch and other authorities.
"Raising awareness is just the first step," Young said, wearing a shirt with a picture of Trayvon Martin in a hoodie. "The president spoke eloquently about people being afraid of young black men, and that touched me, because I've felt it -- we've all felt it, even if nobody wants to admit it."
While many of the protesters were black, the issue wasn't strictly racial, said protester Carlos Necochea, 32.
"We're all here for fairness," he said.
Police vehicles remained nearby during the protest, out of sight of those marching.
"We were just trying to lay back and be in the area in case there were any problems," said police Sgt. Brett Birnbaum. "We were there for the safety of the protesters as well as anyone nearby, but it was an uneventful example of good, law-abiding citizens exercising their right to protest."
On Thursday, police arrested 11 protesters on charges including assault on a peace officer and vandalism.
Other protests have happened throughout the week, while police mobilized for others that attracted no protesters.
Saturday's march began at 9 a.m., to coincide with the noon eastern start time of other protests. It began dwindling at about 10:30 but some remained for two more hours.
A rally was also planned Saturday at Hook Park in Victorville. Sheriff's spokeswoman Cindy Bachman said she hadn't heard of any incidents related to the event.

Media blasted Edwards for speech fee but omitted Giuliani speeches, Edwards' explanation
Several media figures have attacked Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards for receiving a $55,000 fee for a January 2006 speech at the University of California-Davis -- as first reported in a May 21 entry [1] to the San Francisco Chronicle's Politics Blog. In several cases, they have not also mentioned reports that Republican presidential contender Rudy Giuliani charged Oklahoma State University $100,000 for a speech he delivered in 2006 and an additional $47,000 for the use of a private jet, as Media Matters for America has noted [2]. Moreover, several left out the response by the Edwards campaign, which asserted that UC-Davis offset the cost through sponsorship and ticket sales to the event.
As Media Matters noted [3], on the May 22 edition [4] of CNN's The Situation Room, CNN senior political correspondent Candy Crowley reported that the Edwards campaign claimed "it was a paid speech, but there were tickets for it -- somewhere between $17.50 for students; about $40 for adults. So it paid for itself." According to UC-Davis' Robert & Margrit Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts, tickets [5] for the speech ranged from $17.50 to $45. The entry [1] on the Chronicle's Politics Blog noted that he spoke to "a crowd of 1,787," meaning that if everyone paid admission, ticket sales would have brought in somewhere between $31,272 and $80,415.
But reports on Fox News, MSNBC -- along with articles in the San Francisco Chronicle, The Washington Post, and on foxnews.com -- left out one or both -- Giuliani's higher reported speaking fees and the Edwards campaign's response:
- In his May 23 "Media Notes" column [6] on The Washington Post's website, media critic Howard Kurtz wrote, "Now we know how John Edwards pays for those $400 haircuts." Kurtz's claim was followed by an excerpt from the May 21 Chronicle blog post. Kurtz made no mention of Giuliani or of the tickets for the Edwards speech.
- On the May 22 edition of Fox News' The Big Story with John Gibson, guest host Jon Scott, after noting that the Edwards campaign said that the speech "was funded by sponsors and ticket sales," asked the Chronicle's Carla Marinucci, who posted [2] the original blog entry about the Edwards speech, if it isn't "just as wrong for Senator Edwards not to offer himself up to speak for free at a publicly funded university." Marinucci said that "more than polls," campaigns "have to worry about perception." She added that "students were charged upwards of $17 to hear him speak about poverty" and said "the question is, what's with that?" While noting that Edwards is "not the first guy to make big bucks speaking at major events," Marinucci made no mention of Giuliani or his reported $100,000 speaking fee at a publicly funded university.
- On the May 22 edition of his nationally syndicated radio program, Rush Limbaugh [7] discussed the story, called Edwards "a blatant hypocrite." Limbaugh added that the "Chronicle noted that parents might be excused for wondering, given that the University of California system is being hit with a 7-percent tuition increase that'll impact a lot of struggling students" and asked "why didn't Edwards offer to do his speech gratis for a public institution?" He "guarantee[d]" his audience that "outside the San Francisco Chronicle which reported it -- nobody else will do a story on John Edwards taking 55 grand from UC-Davis -- a public institution -- for a speech on poverty." Limbaugh never noted Giuliani's speaking fees. (Limbaugh also did not mention the Edwards campaign's response that UC-Davis offset Edwards' fee, though the Situation Room report noting that response did not air until after Limbaugh's broadcast.)
- A May 22 foxnews.com article [8] claimed that Edwards' speech "at the taxpayer-funded school in January 2006" taught the "students how to avoid poverty -- charge $55,000 for a speech." The article later noted that "Edwards spokesman Eric Schultz told FOX News that the speech at UC Davis, 'was funded by sponsors and ticket sales,' and the school has said ticket prices for the event ranged from $17.50 to $45." The article ended by noting that "[i]ncidentally, students at all of California's public universities will pay a 7 percent increase in tuition next year." The article made no mention of Giuliani.
- On the May 22 edition of Fox News' Special Report, host Brit Hume [9] brought up Edwards' speech in two separate segments. In the first, Hume noted that Edwards' campaign said that "the speech was part of a series at the school and was funded by sponsors and the sale of tickets, which went for as much as $45," but did not note the reported Giuliani speeches. In the second segment, Hume asked National Public Radio senior national correspondent and Fox News contributor Juan Williams "what we make of" Edwards' "considerable recent embarrassments." Neither Hume nor Williams in that segment noted the Edwards campaign's response or that Giuliani reportedly made $100,000 for his speech at Oklahoma State.
- As part of the "winners and losers" segment on the May 22 edition of MSNBC's Scarborough Country, guest host and MSNBC general manager Dan Abrams made no mention of Giuliani or Edwards' response, and simply said: "First loser, Democratic candidate John Edwards, after we learned today he charged $55,000 to speak at a publicly funded California university last year. His topic? Poverty."
From Kurtz's May 23 washingtonpost.com column:
Now we know how John Edwards pays for those $400 haircuts:
"Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, who as a Democratic presidential candidate recently proposed an educational policy that urged 'every financial barrier' be removed for American kids who want to go to college, has been going to college himself -- as a high paid speaker, his financial records show.
"The candidate charged a whopping $55,000 to speak at to a crowd of 1,787 the taxpayer-funded University of California at Davis on Jan. 9, 2006 last year, Joe Martin, the public relations officer for the campus' Mondavi Center confirmed Monday," says the San Francisco Chronicle.
From the May 22 edition of Fox News' The Big Story with John Gibson:
SCOTT: Hello again, I'm Jon Scott in for John Gibson, and it's time for "Big Politics." Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards consistently calls for action against poverty. But he's sure making big bucks talking about it. Senator Edwards charged $55,000 to speak at a publicly funded university in Northern California last year. While it happened before he officially announced his 2008 candidacy, his campaign spokesman now says, quote, "John Edwards' speech at UC-Davis was part of the Mondavis [sic] Center for Performing Arts Distinguished Speakers Series which was funded by sponsors and ticket sales." In the speech entitled, "Poverty: The Great Moral Issue Facing America," Edwards was quoted as saying, "For a country of our wealth and prosperity to have 37 million people wake up in the morning in poverty, is wrong." Well, as a self-proclaimed advocate for the poor, isn't it just as wrong for Senator Edwards not to offer himself up to speak for free at a publicly funded university? With us now, San Francisco Chronicle political writer Carla Marinucci. Carla, you broke this story.
MARINUCCI: John, I did. I tell you I think what this says is that presidential campaigns have to worry about more than polls. They have to worry about perception. John Edwards has been a very big advocate for poverty, but, boy, there has been a pileup of events in recent weeks. The $400 haircut, the hedge fund checks, and now these kinds of fees to universities. You have to wonder how it plays in states like Iowa and New Hampshire, where he's really trying to push his sort of humble roots as the son of a mill worker.
SCOTT: Right, and you know, he kind of portrays himself as the guy of the common people, the lawyer who battles for injustice and so forth. But when you're charging $55,000 to a university, this is a guy who doesn't need to work another day in his life.
MARINUCCI: Well, let's be fair to John Edwards too. He's not the first guy to make big bucks --
SCOTT: No.
MARINUCCI: -- speaking at major events. Bill Clinton made $100,000 speaking at the same university, I might add. But the problem for John Edwards is a storyline seems to be developing here of a guy who's not "do as I say but" -- it's a hypocritical storyline. And that's what he has to be worried about. Certainly he's been out there, he's been pushing the poverty theme for a long, long time, and he's very, very eloquent in doing that. But when you have this gathering storm of events, that's where the problem is for John Edwards. For a public university like UC-Davis, this is a taxpayer-funded university. He spoke at the Mondavi Center, but students were charged upwards of $17 to hear him speak about poverty. And the question is, what's with that?
SCOTT: So there is a little bit of a political tin ear going on here.
MARINUCCI: And I think that's where the Edwards campaign has really got to watch this whole theme. They can take a lesson from the kind of things that happened in the last presidential campaign when certain storylines developed on certain candidates, like Al Gore. The perception was that he exaggerated, that he didn't play a straight and narrow with a lot of the facts. That he invented the Internet, even though that's something he never really said. That storyline was a major problem for him. John Kerry, he was accused of being a flip-flopper. It was something he always had to deal with on the campaign trail. And this one hands ammunition to John Edwards' opponents, and he's got to look out for that.
SCOTT: Carla Marinucci, San Francisco Chronicle. Thank you.
From the May 22 broadcast of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: Now this is just coming out -- now, why is this being reported? I mean, the drive-bys didn't go out and sniff this out. This is in his financial reporting information. Why are they reporting it? Normally they sweep this stuff under the rug. He's one of their guys.
John Fund has a piece today, The Wall Street Journal, speculating that it's getting even too much -- getting to be even too much for the drive-bys to ignore and to look the other way. The guy is such a blatant hypocrite. He goes to this hedge fund where he ostensibly is going to learn about -- about poverty! He doesn't do any -- he's an offshore hedge fund -- he's got statements on the record opposing tax shelters that are brought about by having offshore hedge funds. He goes to work for one!
After he comes out of his little consultancy deal there, making whatever -- $400,000 and some odd, I think he made -- he said he learned about poverty. What did he learn about offshore hedge funds and tax shelters and so forth, and he claims to want to put down -- there was the story about, you know, he was out there bashing Wal-Mart all to hell, and one of his staffers was sent to Wal-Mart to get a PlayStation 2 or 3 or something for one of Edwards' kids.
And Fund's theory is that they're beginning to wonder if the guy's not just a total and utter phony. The Chronicle noted that parents might be excused for wondering, given that the University of California system is being hit with a 7 percent tuition increase that'll impact a lot of struggling students, why didn't Edwards offer to do his speech gratis for a public institution? The senator's office wouldn't comment, but journalists covering Mr. Edwards have lately started connecting certain dots. Sooner or later the public's going to have to make a decision about whether Edwards, with his $400 haircuts, his 29,000-square-foot house, his lucrative hedge fund employment, walks the populist walk that he talks.
LIMBAUGH: I mean, the fact that this stuff is being reported -- and you can say some of it's coming from Clinton Inc., and you can say that some of it -- you know, Hillary's out there, got her pals in the drive-bys and they want to take out as many of Hillary's opponents as quickly as possible. And by the way, remember that press conference when John Edwards and his wife, Elizabeth, announced the return of her cancer? And the drive-bys started speculating about how great this was politically, what a wonderfully executed political press conference, and how it was going to buy -- they're all saying this -- how it was going to buy a little cover for Senator Edwards. He's going to be a little bulletproof now, because how do you go out and attack a guy politically whose wife just announced that her cancer's come -- well, it's happening! I guess there was a little grace period there, but now it's happening. And it's the drive-bys that are doing this.
The guy is phony. I mean, he's -- there's no two ways about it. It's just stunning to me that the drive-bys have turned on him. I guess it shouldn't be. I mean, they don't want him. The drive-bys' candidate of choice right now, believe it or not, is Al Gore. I mean, they're literally going bonkers -- well, what do you think [MSNBC host Chris] Matthews is doing that bit that we played for you last night about Hillary and Bill, and how often they, you know, stay under the same roof at night? And Time magazine has been going on and on and on about Al Gore and all that. And Obama has been built up. It strikes me that there's not a whole lot of love and affection for Mrs. Clinton.
LIMBAUGH: I guarantee you -- [hits desk] outside the San Francisco Chronicle which reported it -- nobody else will do a story on John Edwards taking 55 grand from UC Davis -- a public institution -- for a speech on poverty.
From a May 22 FoxNews.com article:
John Edwards has an example to teach University of California at Davis students how to avoid poverty -- charge $55,000 for a speech.
That's how much the 2008 Democratic presidential candidate negotiated for his fee to speak to 1,787 people at the taxpayer-funded school in January 2006, according to financial disclosures.
According to Joe Martin, the public relations officer for UC Davis' Mondavi Center, the fee for a speech entitled, "Poverty, the Great Moral issue Facing America," was worth it to school officials.
Martin told The San Francisco Chronicle that the center paid Edwards because at the time "he wasn't a (presidential) candidate and from our point of view, he was a speaker of interest that people in the community were clearly interested in ... we feel it's our mission to present those speakers."
The speaking fee, which amounts to about $31 per audience member, was the highest Edwards earned in nine appearances last year at colleges and universities. In all, he earned $285,000 for the nine speeches.
Edwards spokesman Eric Schultz told FOX News that the speech at UC Davis, "was funded by sponsors and ticket sales," and the school has said ticket prices for the event ranged from $17.50 to $45.
Incidentally, students at all of California's public universities will pay a 7 percent increase in tuition next year.
From May 22 edition of Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume:
HUME: And now the most fascinating two minutes in television, the latest from the "Political Grapevine."
Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, who made his fortune as a trial lawyer before getting into politics, was paid $55,000 to speak to students at the University of California at Davis last year. His topic, "Poverty, the Great Moral Issue Facing America," and that's in quotes.
His campaign tells Fox News the speech was part of a series at the school and was funded by sponsors and the sale of tickets, which went for as much as $45.
Edwards' financial records show he pocketed $285,000 for his speeches to nine colleges and universities last year, in addition to the nearly half million dollars he made in consulting fees from a hedge fund where he worked, he said, to learn more about the financial market's effect on poverty.
HUME: Let's take a very brief look at how the Democrats stack up in Iowa and a man who's undergone some considerable recent embarrassments, John Edwards, about his hair and his hedge fund money and speaking -- collecting 55 grand for talking about poverty and so on. He's ahead now in Iowa, which is, you know, the first place. That's no small matter, it's a narrow margin, but nonetheless, he's ahead. What do we make of that?
WILLIAMS: It's the unions. That's the key to his support nationally. It's the key to his fortunes, and what he's done there -- I think it's like more than a third of voters in Iowa will be coming from union families, and he has made a tremendous amount of inroads in the union vote out there and spent a lot of time out there.
From the May 22 edition of MSNBC's Scarborough Country:
ABRAMS: Just moments ago, the final American Idol competition wrapped up, and we are ready to tell you the ultimate winner and loser in a minute.
But first, the day's other winners and losers. First loser, Democratic candidate John Edwards, after we learned today he charged $55,000 to speak at a publicly funded California university last year. His topic? Poverty.

East End Artists and Galleries Highlighted at 23rd Art Miami and CONTEXT Fairs, 12/4-9
East End artists will be in the spotlight at the 23rd Art Miami, anchor art fair for the city of Miami. Art Miami, the premiere international contemporary and modern art fair, has long been recognized for its high quality presentation of important artworks for the serious international collector. So, it is no surprise that many of the galleries participating will be including works by acclaimed artists from the East End of Long Island alongside such great artists of the 20th & 21st Centuries such as Picasso, Damien Hirst, Raoul Dufy, Chagall, Jean Michel Basquiat, Milton Avery, Alexander Calder, Robert Motherwell, Robert Rauschenberg and scores more of the art world's most celebrated names. Last summer Art Miami presented the wildly successful inaugural Art Southampton that proved to be a game-changer on the Hamptons cultural landscape.
In addition to the debut of its new sister art fair CONTEXT Art Miami dedicated to presenting emerging and mid-career cutting edge artists, Art Miami will once again offer important contemporary and modern works from over 125 of the world's most prominent galleries. CONTEXT will feature artists from 65 hand selectEd Galleries from around the globe. Last summer Art Miami presented the wildly successful inaugural Art Southampton that proved to be a game-changer on the Hamptons cultural landscape.
A number of galleries from around the world will be featuring works by well known Hamptonites. New York's Hollis Taggert Gallery will be displaying among other important works, Willem De Kooning's Woman in Motion, a charcoal and oil on vellum mounted on canvas from 1962.
Southampton favorite Roy Lichtenstein's 1994 work Metallic Brushstroke Head as well as works by Shelter Island sculptor John Chamberlain will be shown by Munich's Galerie Terminus.
KM Fine Arts of Chicago will showcase Southamptonite, Jeff Muhs who will be showing new paintings and concrete sculptures including his latest piece 'Figure Training', a corset covered bust.
Another Chicago gallery Kasia Kay Art Projects will present new works by the irrepressible painter and performance artist Kevin Berlin, a major figure on the Hamptons scene when not in his studio in Italy or romping with Siberian tigers in Russia. "His Lady and Tiger" is among the featured works.
Antoine Helwaser Gallery of New York's offerings include significant works by Cindy Sherman, Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol.
Mark Borghi long a fixture on the Hampton art scene will be showing works by Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein and Toronto's well respected Contessa Gallery will show works by de Kooning and Lichtenstein. Springs sculptor Phyllis Hammond will be included in Denise Bibro Fine Arts booth.
Both Palm Beach's Arcature and Miami's 101 Exhibit will showcase works by longtime Hamptons favorite Larry Rivers
Eric Fischl whose triptych "Scarsdale" was a major hit at the opening of the new Parrish Art Museum will be shown by three galleries: Contessa Gallery, Jim Kempner Fine Art and Mark Borghi Fine Art.
Works by Chuck Close will be shown by no less than five galleries - Contessa Gallery, Pace Prints, Jim Kempner Fine Art, Zadok Gallery and Shaheen Modern and Contemporary Art.
One of the highlights of the CONTEXT Art Fair will be the controversial "Banksy Out of Context" presented Art Miami, in conjunction with new-photo sharing platform I PXL U (www.ipxlu.com), founded by noted Southampton gallery owner Stephan Keszler. The exhibit consists of five wall reliefs equaling six-and-a-half tons in weight, each one showcasing one of the most iconic stencils by the most relevant street artist in the world, encourages the debate about 'site-specific' street art outside of its original context; a very divisive issue within the art community.

Accusations, mistaken identities, and romances run in this traditional, laugh-out-loud farce. Two nuns at the Sisters of Perpetual Sewing have been secretly making wine to keep the convent's doors open, but reporters and former fiancees, are hot on their trail so they go undercover as a nun and priest. This along with a new nun spreads paranoia that spies have been sent to the convent by Rome to shut them down. Wine and secrets are spilled before the end of this funny evening.

Does it matter what Linus uses?
Yes, I know LinuxCon is next, and that's in mid-August, but I think they've got the publicity thing covered, especially with the 20-year thing and with Linus being there and all. But if you're going to the next show, make it the Ohio LinuxFest in September. Bradley Kuhn and Cathy Malmrose are keynoting, so you'll not want to miss that (especially Cathy — Go ZaReason!)
First things first: I'm certainly not calling out Marcel Gagne for getting it wrong in a recent blog post — the "it" in question is that Linus Torvalds uses Linux Mint. On the contrary — to his credit Marcel corrected himself and, hey, it could have happened to anyone.
Also, we're not going to go to the GNOME thing right now, at least not right way, despite the fact there has been a parade of "me toos" following Linus' unhappiness with GNOME's new desktop offering.
But it occurred to me today after reading Marcel's mea culpa that, in the grand scheme of FOSS things, it really doesn't matter what Linus uses. Before you all collectively brand me a heretic, allow me to explain.
Linus has been quoted in the past as being a Fedora user, because it worked on the PowerPC hardware he was using. That's great — he joins thousands of others using Fedora. He may not be one now, and if that's the case he'd join thousands of others not using Fedora. There's also an instance in the past — the distant past, as opposed to a week or two ago — where he switched desktop environments.
All that's OK.
It means Linus is like us.
Think about it. Which of us has not switched distros or desktop environments? Which of us has not expressed extreme displeasure over a program or desktop environment and made that dissatisfaction public on mailing lists and/or forums? We certainly allow ourselves the luxury of making these switches — on a whim or more — so shouldn't we grant that same right to the man who brought us where we are today?
The question isn't so much "What distro does Linus use?" as much as possibly "How many distros does Linus use?" Think about it and put yourself in Linus' shoes. You have your favorites, and so does he. If you have a chance, and the hardware, to use more than one distro, wouldn't you? I bet Linus would.
Or not, if you — or Linus — are really enamored and happy with one and truly want to stick with it.
I am primarily a Fedora guy — that has been mentioned in this blog often in the past. But while Fedora KDE runs on my constant companion, also known as "the football" and the laptop that never leaves my side, I also have machines running Debian, Kororaa and CrunchBang (we're going to need a moment of silence for a recently departed Fujitsu laptop once running Bodhi Linux, which went to its final rest through no fault of the distro).
Why four different distros? Simple: It's because I like those distros and I have the hardware that will run them.
And that's as it should be.

August 11, 2011 at 9:25 pm
Well said, Larry. Trying out new things and hating even newer ones is basically part of being a Linux User.
It's all about choice, even the choice to switch around 'till you find something that sticks.
August 11, 2011 at 11:21 pm
Quite true. I run Kubuntu, OpenSUSE and PCLinuxOS simply because I can — and because I can't quite make up my mind which one offers a better KDE desktop 🙂
August 11, 2011 at 11:35 pm
It matters *a lot* what hardware the kernel devels use, as we know that they will pick machines with working device drivers, or else make those device drivers work. As someone who has struggled a great deal with broken drivers in the past, I can tell you that I may hop desktops and distros, but my next laptop will for sure be Lenovo!
August 12, 2011 at 4:09 am
i think the only linux linus is truly happy with is android.
of course it matters what he runs, if for no other reason then because he's a linux rock star. and not a pathetic, self-appointed one – he's the real deal.
also, isn't it true he ran fedora after red hat gave him millions in shares? he was just being nice, now he wants something extremely easy – mint, why not.
as for lenovos someone mentioned, earlier this year i bought a thinkpad which now has only debian and a tiling WM on it and the only problem but a significant one i've had, with newer and older kernels and bioses alike, are unresponsive backlight keys. i solved it with workarounds but the moral of the story is there is no perfect hardware for anything, linux included.
btw, fedora kde must be the most bloated kde distro around, it literally wouldn't run on my 4-yr-old FSC notebook (1.8 ghz processor, 1gb ram), where debian kde, chakra, and even kubuntu performed normally.
August 12, 2011 at 5:21 am
Actually, the desktop Linus uses carries a lot of weight at this time. I am assuming Linus actually tries to get some work done and if he, like many others, cannot get a good "work flow" going with Gnome 3, like the rest of us can't, than it only confirms our opinions of Gnome 3. What distro he uses is less important. I'm sure if he wanted to use RHEL they would be glad to provide him with a customized copy gratis. I think a lot of people run multi-distros but most of us have one main, or "working" distro we use more than others. Lets not "sugar coat it" Gnome 3 sucks, and that is the end of the story!
August 12, 2011 at 6:18 am
While I love openSuse and find they have the best KDE integration (my opinion) I still think KDE and Gnome are being over engineered to a state of uselessness.
A "Graphical User Interface" is supposed to benefit the user. Perhaps make the computer easier to use. Be a little intuitive. I'm here to say these User Interfaces aren't Interfacing with this User well at all. They're incompatible with my personal API/ABI. More like Graphical Unintuitive Insult to users.
I'm still on openSuse, but using LXDE now. KDE 3.5 was the last time KDE was usable, so I I hope the Trinity project works out well.
August 12, 2011 at 6:46 am
What? There is not "One True Way"?
Out here where they raise beeves and tumbleweeds
they always say the bigger the buckle the better the
cowboy or maybe something about the size of the
hat? Somehow I can't see all these hugely independent
geeks in orbit around Linus. If we are in orbit it will be
a rather eccentric one to say the least.
So, y'all run Linux your way and the Colonel will run Linux
the right way.
note to Larry, maybe you can put a sarcasm mark on the
paragraph above?
Keep the humor in Linux
Peace, Bob
August 12, 2011 at 9:04 am
Here's a likely plan for my next computer:
Debian-KDE pre-installed machines for sale
"he also announced a new project by Mario Fux, launching later this week, that will offer easy to use computers based on Debian and KDE software, initially in three form factors – a compact desktop, netbook and notebook. Everything will be preinstalled and configured, KDE software will be to the fore and part of the sale price of each item will be donated to Debian and KDE e.V. (asimplecomputer.com)"
August 12, 2011 at 12:42 pm
Well said! Free software is about the freedom to choose and not being told how things should work! 😀

If you have the cd then you have the documentation and the drivers for linux. However there are Red Hat drivers on the website but I did not see any source packages for it.The controller can run under MS-DOS or any DOS-compatible operating system using the standard AT BIOS INT 13h hard disk drive interface. To use the controller with other operating systems, you must install software drivers. Driver files for supported operating systems are available on the Universal Driver Suite CD that accompanied your MegaRAID controller.
You might have to look again or try somewhere else.
You might be able to change the RPM to another compatible format but this is not going to be to easy nor is it guaranteed to work.
Any one else ?

A few hours ago, Xiaomi unveiled the much awaited (and also heavily leaked) Mi4, priced from 1999 yuan (S$400). Oh, and a smartband that costs less than S$20.
So will its last generation flagship device Mi3 be phased out? Fortunately, it'll remain on Xiaomi's online store, according to its global vice president Hugo Barra. More importantly, Barra confirmed that the S$299 pricing, which was pegged as a summer sale price, will not be changed.
Make sense? Absolutely, especially for Singapore users. New and re-contracting subscribers to the three telcos here not only have to forego their 12GB data bundle, they'll also have to pay a monthly subscription for 4G download speeds.
This makes the Mi3, a 3G-only Android device, and its under S$300 an attractive offer for those who wish to retain their 12GB data limit and can live without high speed access.
Of course, the Mi4 is a much more powerful device and its starting price here, which will be announced closer to the launch date, should be a mere bump from the Mi3's rock bottom price.
Us? We're very keen on getting our hands on the Mi4, seeing how we can't live without 4G speeds. But for the
stingy budget-conscious bunch, don't worry, the Mi3 is still available.
That is, if the new stock arrives and you can secure one before it sells out again.

Chemical Engineering Grads Among the Best in National Design Competition
October 23, 2009—
Two May 2009 Michigan Tech chemical engineering graduates were among the best in the US this year in AIChE's National Student Design Competition in the individual category.
Terry Mazure and John Krystof placed second and third, respectively, for their solutions to a large-scale chemical engineering design problem.
Every year, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers challenges students to tackle a problem that typifies a real, working, chemical engineering design situation.
Chemical engineering faculty members Dan Crowl and Tony Rogers incorporate the problem in the senior design lab course, CM4861. "It's very open ended, and it takes about a hundred hours to complete," said Crowl. "This year, they were supposed to design a chemical process to produce 500 million gallons of butanol a year by fermentation, size all the equipment, cost all the equipment, and do a complete cash flow analysis to determine if it would be commercially viable. Then they had to write and submit a report, which typically runs 50 or more pages."
All students in the class must do the work individually, without assistance from anyone. "We're limited to submitting two reports," Crowl said. "Otherwise, we'd send more; we have some pretty good students."
"It's very competitive," he added. "This is a high honor for our design program."
Mazure is now a design engineer for Dow Corning, in Midland, and Krystof works with Hemlock Semiconductor, a subsidiary of Dow Corning. Both will be honored at the AIChE Fall National Meeting in Nashville.
Note: The thumbnail photo originally posted on the Michigan Tech News site is of John Krystof.
Michigan Technological University (www.mtu.edu) is a leading public research university developing new technologies and preparing students to create the future for a prosperous and sustainable world. Michigan Tech offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in engineering; forest resources; computing; technology; business; economics; natural, physical and environmental sciences; arts; humanities; and social sciences.

Meet The Fashionable Couture Dogs Of New York
Want to feel slightly depressed? There are people who spend more on their dog's annual wardrobes than most people do on their own in 10 years. Meet the couture dogs of New York, the subject of a new book by Paul Nathan. This expansive volume features people with an excess of money, time and love to give to their furry friends. Some of the outfits are incredibly over the top. Most of the models were on point, though there was one, uh, mishap. "Most of the dogs were well behaved but Tasha and Cuba, who are married and who are photographed together in some of the pictures, had sexual relations as soon as we finished the shoot, which I thought was quite brazen," said Nathan in an interview with Fashionista. Wait, married dogs? What? [Fashionista]

Chief Keef ordered to pay $3100 per month in child support
Listen to Chief Keef on iHeartRadio
We hope Chief Keef has been saving some racks for a rainy day.
According to TMZ, Keef, who is now 17, fathered a child when he was 15 with an unnamed girl of the same age. She sued him for child support, and he's been ordered to pay $2600 per month, plus $500 in daycare and $10,000 in back child support.
Court documents show Keef bringing in about $13,000 per month. He should be able to handle it - not only did he just sign to Gucci Mane's Bricksquad 1017 last week, but photos of him rocking a pair of "Beats by Keef" headphones have been circulating lately, and those could become available soon.
Another hearing is set for next month to finalize the amount.

A Chiefland woman is dead as the result of an accident on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. on Northwest 55th Avenue, two miles north of County Road 330, according to a Florida Highway Patrol press release.
Jo-Ann Braswell Bailey, 66, died at Shands Hospital at the University of Florida in Gainesville.
She was driving a 2003 Pontiac mini-van southbound on Northwest 55th Avenue as William A. Graden, 28, of Chiefland was attempting to back a 1997 Freightliner semi and flatbed from the northbound lane into a driveway.

(Santa Ana, CA) -- FBI officials say they are investigating an alleged "sextortion" case involving newly crowned Miss Teen USA Cassidy Wolf and other women. An FBI spokesperson tells the "Los Angeles Times" the investigation involving Wolf, an Orange County native, is several months old, but will not divulge details about the case. Wolf had been Miss California Teen USA before winning the Miss Teen USA pageant last weekend. She has said in media interviews she got an anonymous email from someone claiming to have nude photos of her taken via her webcam and demanding money to make sure the pictures never got out.

PHOENIX -- Arizona lawmakers have introduced a bill that would impose nutritional standards for all food and beverages sold in high schools. The proposed legislation would require that the guidelines, at a minimum, meet federal standards for high schools and be established by July 1, 2014.
The proposed rules apply to vending machines, as well as a la carte lines in cafeterias, school stores and snack bars.
The bill (SB 1257) would require that new and renewed contracts for food and beverages limit the selection of iced teas, carbonated and isotonic beverages, and juice drinks that contain less than 50% fruit or vegetable juice to no more than 50% of the capacities of vending machines located on high school campuses, beginning July 15, 2014.
All other foods considered to be "of minimal nutritional value" by federal nutrition standards would be prohibited from being served or sold on high school campuses.
The new high school bill is sponsored by Democratic Sens. Ed Ableser, Frank Farley, Steve Gallardo, Kaite Hobbs, Robert Meza and Lynn Pancraz.
Arizona established similar nutrition standards for elementary and middle schools in 2006.

Chrysler LeBaron Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the Chrysler LeBaron based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
3.0L engines may develop an excessive oil consumption issue. Blue oil smoke may be noted from the exhaust during deceleration conditions (high engine vacuum). Our technicians tell us that this condition can be caused by valve guides dropping out of position. Updated valve guides with a revised snap ring grove are available to correct this issue.
Engine oil leaks may develop from the following areas: Valve cover gaskets, cam plugs at rear of the cylinder head, cam seals, front crankshaft seal, and the oil filter bracket. Leaking seals and gaskets should be replaced. Due to mis-machining of the mating surfaces, as special gasket is required to correct the oil filter bracket leak.
The convertible top rear window may break for no apparent reason when the folding top is lowered. Our technicians tell us that modifying the headliner and adding a rubber shim to the folding top linkage will generally correct this issue.
Vehicles may develop a start and die out condition or a transmission that defaults to second gear. Our technicians tell us that the transmission control module (TCM) may be at fault and require replacement. If the TCM is replaced the pinion factor should be reset and the quick learn procedure performed.
The anti-lock brake (ABS) warning lamp may illuminate with "Modulator Fault" indicated by a scan tool. This would indicate a electrical fault, commonly caused by a faulty connection. ABS connectors should be inspected for problems if this situation occurs.
A noise may develop from the rear brakes. This is most noticeable when the brakes are applied after the vehicle as set for several hours. Our technicians tell us the repair can involve replacing the rear rotors and brake pads with a revised set.
Automatic transmissions can exhibit a variety of shifting and noise concerns due to failure of internal parts. Our technicians tell us that a complete inspection of all internal parts should be performed if the transmission is disassembled for overhaul. Numerous updated part are available for this transmission.
The connector on the input and/or output speed sensors on the automatic transmission may become damaged causing intermittent loss of speed control. There are wiring repair kits available to repair this issue.
Incorrect, worn, or contaminated automatic transmission fluid can cause shifting issues, noted at speeds over 40mph. Our technicians tell us that repairs to correct this condition include changing the fluid and filter, driving the vehicle for 10miles and changing the fluid a second time.
Carbon buildup on the top of the piston is common. Over time this can lead to symptoms varying from light ticking to knocking noises. Performing a fuel injector cleaning procedure can often help the condition by removing some of the piston top deposits.
The turbocharger may fail resulting in any of the following: Excessive smoke from the exhaust, lack of power, or grinding or scraping noise from the turbocharger. Our technicians tell us the most common causes of turbocharger failure are lack of oil changes, hard acceleration when the engine is cold, and lack of a cool down period are high speed driving or excessive loads.
4 cylinder engine timing belts can be affected by driving in very hot climates. Our technicians tell us that replacement should be considered before the recommended 60K interval. Replacement timing belts have been designed for greater durability. It is also recommended the belt tensioner be replaced whenever the timing belt is replaced.
4 cylinder engines may develop a cold engine knock that may last for 3-5 minutes and is often mis-diagnosed as a lifter noise. Our technicians tell us in most cases the noise is coming from the piston area and is not a reliability or durability concern.
One or both front power windows may not roll up. This can be the result of the lift plate down stop bending, allowing the rollers to come out of the track. Our technicians tell us there is an updated window lift plate to correct this concern.

Nice to see that BT3 works on MacBook Pro, so I guess it would work on MacBook Air too or am I wrong?
Good pointHe's on a mac, no bios.
-Monkeys are like nature's humans.
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69

We are your best choice, every day, to be ready to respond.

Professional detailing and design features ensure that the public recognizes you immediately for the pride you take in your job, while enhanced safety options such as deployable 3M SCOTCHLITE™ reflective accents and piping make sure that drivers recognize you instantly on the road.
Pants: Gusseted crotch design, along with highly-engineered pocket placement and overall garment shape result in Blauer pants being the best in the industry when it comes to everyday function in the real world of policing. Specially selected, durable fabrics which work in environments ranging from harsh tactical operations to hot climates requiring lightweight material mean that you will find the right option no matter where work takes you. Finally, specialized designs for female law enforcement professionals are built to fit you better – not just a modified men's garment, but a purpose-built design engineered for a woman's body as she works.

Hundreds of law enforcement professionals have contributed to the design of these vests over the years, and the result is a superior garment which will exceed the need of police officers putting themselves on the line every day.
Accessories: Blauer's full line of accessories is built with the same high-tech attention to detail and construction as all of their other products.

Calvin Klein Collection Spring 2014
Francisco Costa, celebrating a decade at the design helm of Calvin Klein Collection, has brought his own experimental aesthetic to the house that once exemplified an American sportswear aesthetic at its most reductive. And with his spring 2014 collection, Costa seemed to push the conceptual envelope further than he has done before.
Looking for inspiration to such eclectic sources as Peter Bialobrzeski's photographs of the innovative shanty shacks of Manila, patched from any available materials, and to Jim Naughten's portraits of the fanciful costumes of Namibia's Herero tribe, as well as the idiosyncratic beauties whom Man Ray loved to portray, Costa was prompted to find beauty in the unfinished, the improvised, and in the seemingly random—but to create those effects he used hand-crafted, custom-developed fabrics.
In the artful, craft-y spirit that has defined some of the strongest collections this week, Costa took pale snakeskin, for instance, and cut it into geometric shapes that were then pieced together to create an Op Art "textile." In the same mood, leather was sliced into the finest strips and woven with primary threads left unfinished to create a deep, haphazard fringe, or woven fabrics were tufted like an uncompleted embroidery on its tambour frame.
Set to a mash-up sound track that sampled Billie Holiday singing "They Can't Take That Away from Me" with Scanner's "Cavern Wall," Costa opened the show with pieces composed of broad, unfinished slices of thickly hand-woven fabric that resembled a painter's canvas wrapped around the body. Seemingly without any conventional shaping seams, they created random, sculptural effects on the wearer's body, gaping open in the back, for instance, like a trench-coat's storm flap. Insertions of translucent organza, or filmy knits, brought lightness to the unforgiving line, whilst open-weave effects caught the perforated trend of the season (although Costa was seasons ahead of the curve on this one).
Further dimensional interest was provided when the front of a jacket or tabard dress was folded back to create a double triangle in front.
The show closed with a brace of long evening dresses, one ivory, the other black, formed largely of fringe created by laboriously pulling apart the threads of a fabric—a tour de force of technique and a modernist way to think about couture.

There are some things in life I think (slash know) we could do without. Like third nipples, Real House Wives, Cheez Whiz, and the Kardashians.
BUT! We're also lucky enough to have access to things that are near perfect, totally awesome and make the universe right.
Like the beach, food trucks, the perfect Pandora radio, Masterpiece Mystery!, puppies, London's Oyster Cards and the combination of strawberry and banana.
Ever a favorite smoothie combo, these fruits love each other – the tart sweetness of a good strawberry with the mellow warmth and smooth texture of a sweet banana never gets old.
So naturally, I thought that roasting these two fruits might make for an excellent oatmeal/yogurt/ice cream topping. I was not disappointed. The bananas become caramelized and candy-like and the strawberries create an intensified strawberry-flavored syrup.
If you have an affinity for coconut, I suggest using a bit of coconut milk for cooking and/or topping off your oats. It adds a gorgeous non-dairy creaminess along with the hint of sweet coconut.
This breakfast almost completely compensates for the existence of the Jersey Shore.
Strawberry and Banana Topping (serves 2)
– 1 banana, sliced into rounds
– 6-8 strawberries, hulled and sliced into rounds
– baking spray or oil
Pre-heat the over to 400 F/205 C.
Line a baking tray with a sheet of parchment paper. Lightly oil the parchment with baking spray and place the fruit on it. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until strawberries are releasing a syrupy juice and are soft and fragrant.
Oatmeal (serves 2)
Choose your own adventure
Steel-cut Oats/the Overnight Method:
Place 1/2 cup steel-cut oats in 1 cup water and 1/2 cup coconut milk (or milk of your choice) in a medium saucepan.
Bring to a boil, take off heat and cover. Let stand for at least an hour or overnight – either on the counter or in the fridge. (You can make a larger batch and keep it in the fridge for the week.)
When ready to eat, reheat desired serving over a medium heat with a little extra water or coconut milk. Stir in vanilla and cinnamon. Serve with toppings.
Rolled oats:
Place 1 cup rolled oats with 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup coconut milk. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the liquid is absorbed – adding more liquid for desired consistency, if necessary. Let stand covered for 2 minutes and serve with toppings.
Toppings and stir-ins:
– coconut milk or cream
– 1/2-1 teaspoon vanilla essence
– 1/2-1 teaspoon cinnamon
– chopped macadamia nuts, walnuts, cashews or almonds
– toasted coconut flakes
