One of America's largest holiday light shows, the Winter Festival of Lights at Oglebay in Wheeling, West Virginia, will begin November 13, 2015 and continue through January 3, 2016. This holiday tradition began in 1985 with just five light displays and landscape lighting covering about 125 acres over a three-mile drive throughout the resort. Since then, the show has grown into one of the nation's largest light shows, covering more than three hundred acres over a six-mile drive throughout the resort. Eighty larger-than-life light displays are now part of this glowing show.
Every year new displays are added and one of this year's new displays will commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Winter Festival of Lights.
Doug Dalby, President & CEO of the Wheeling Park Commission said the special 30th anniversary edition of the show is being supported by WesBanco. "Over the years financial support from our community has played an important part in the growth and operation of both Oglebay and Wheeling Parks," said Dalby. "WesBanco's support of the 2015-16, 30th anniversary of the Winter Festival of Lights at Oglebay, is the latest example of this community support. Thank you to Wesbanco for their decision to be a part of this year's Winter Festival of Lights."
"WesBanco has a rich heritage of 145 years of community support and are proud to be associated with one of the nation's largest holiday light shows that has over the past 30 years attracted millions of visitors to Oglebay and the Wheeling area," said Todd Clossin, WesBanco President & CEO. "As WesBanco has grown, so has the attraction of the Winter Festival of Lights, drawing visitors from areas into which WesBanco has expanded including Pittsburgh and Columbus."
"Our relationship with Oglebay Park goes back nearly as far as it does with the city of Wheeling and the communities that we have served along the Ohio River," added Clossin. "WesBanco is proud to have offered customer and community-focused banking since 1870. We are more than a diversified financial services company, we are corporate and community citizens and our partnership with the Winter Festival of Lights allows us to reach the members of our communities and grow in our relationships with our customers in a new and different way."
Other new displays at this year's Winter Festival of Lights include a 60 foot, animated Christmas Tree and a Penguin Display on Schenk Lake. "The lake area is always a highlight of light show as the displays on the lake are made even more electrifying by their shimmering reflections on the water," said Caren Knoyer, Marketing Director for Oglebay. Knoyer said the Penguin display was the winning design in last year's new idea contest.
The new animated Christmas Tree Display features programmable RGB technology. Knoyer explained that this new technology uses Red, Green and Blue colors, RGB, and when the three colors are combined and programmed to vary in intensity, they can produce over 16 million different colors. "We introduced programmable RGB last year with the addition of the Rainbow Tunnel, and this tunnel quickly became a show favorite," said Knoyer.
Other favorite displays from previous years include the Poinsettia Wreath and Candles, Dinosaur Dell, Ferris Wheel, The Carousel and the extravagant Cinderella Display.
Seven years ago, the Winter Festival of Lights entered a new "green" era with the commitment to use energy-efficient LED lights in all new displays and to begin converting all existing displays to LED.
LED lights use 85% less energy than traditional bulbs and last five times longer. "We want to ensure that the Winter Festival of Lights will be glowing for another 30 years!" said Knoyer. "For example, the animated Rocking Horse Display was first added to the Festival of Lights in 1992, using 85 amps of electricity with traditional light bulbs. Now that the display has been updated with vibrant LED lights and it uses just 12 amps of electricity."
The popular Light and Music Extravaganza returns to the Good Zoo and takes place nightly on the zoo patio with nearly 40,000 LED lights. The zoo at Oglebay will also have their annual holiday model train display at the state's largest O-Gauge Model Train Exhibit and holiday laser shows at the zoo's Benedum Theater. Admission to the zoo is $8.95 for adults and $5.75 for children ages 3-12, and this admission includes the Light and Music Extravaganza on the zoo's patio.
The Gardens of Light is located in the Oglebay Hilltop area, and features 150 hanging baskets of light plus thousands of lighted flowers, trees and shrubs, combined with distinctive holiday music. Knoyer said that the best way to enjoy the Gardens of Light is to take a stroll along the brick path that leads from Carriage House Glass to the Mansion Museum.
Carriage House Glass, the first stop on the Gardens of Light tour, features a large selection of decorative glass and other collectibles. Carriage House Glass is also home to the sparkling Oglebay Institute Glass Museum featuring an extensive collection of West Virginia glass and glassblowing demonstrations. The Gardens of Light continues next door to the Visitors' Center and the Farmhouse Sweets and Treats Shoppe. "The Treats Shoppe features a very large selection of chocolates, plus other candy and regionally produced food products, and custom gift baskets." said Knoyer.
Just outside the Visitors' Center lies the magical Christmas Tree Garden. Introduced in 2003, the Christmas Tree Garden consists of 30 live trees decorated with various colored lights. Situated in the center of the Christmas Tree Garden is the Nativity Display. The life-size Nativity was designed and created by a local artist, and has been a much-loved display at the Winter Festival of Lights since 1985.
The red brick walking path leads from the Christmas Tree Garden to the Greenhouse, Palm Room, Garden Center Gift Shop and the newly-located Christmas Shop. The Christmas Shop is open only during the Festival of Lights and offers a large selection of one-of-a-kind decorations, ornaments and holiday collectibles.
The final stop on the Gardens of Light tour is the Mansion Museum. The Mansion is the former summer home of the Oglebay family and is elegantly decorated for the holidays.
The 270-room Wilson Lodge at Oglebay offers special overnight packages during the Winter Festival of Lights. Many changes have taken place at the lodge over the years but it is still the centerpiece of Oglebay. It is festively decorated, inside and out, and bustles with activity including children's events, delicious holiday dining, cordial gatherings and live musical entertainment.
There is plenty to do and see at Oglebay while waiting for the lights to come on. The Ihlenfeld Dining Room at Wilson Lodge offers a popular holiday buffet nightly and the family-friendly Glass Works Grill at the lodge is open daily for lunch and dinner. The Winter Festival of Lights is also a special time at all of the Oglebay specialty shops. In addition to the shops on The Hilltop, Oglebay has the Resort Shop and West Spa Boutique at Wilson Lodge and Nature Express at the Good Zoo. Gift cards are available at all shops, at the Visitors Center and online at Oglebay's website.
The Winter Festival of Lights is viewable Sunday through Thursday until 10:00 p.m. and on Friday and Saturday until 11:00 p.m. There is no admission to the Festival but a per car donation of $20 is suggested and is valid for the entire festival season.
Knoyer said that visitors who prefer a guided, narrated tour through the light show, will enjoy one of the trolley tours that are offered several times each night beginning at Wilson Lodge. "There is also a free mobile app for iPhones and iPads available in the Apple App Store," added Knoyer. "The app has detailed information about each display and also includes photos, maps, and audio and video about the Festival of Lights."
The Winter Festival of Lights was listed as one of the 10 Best Christmas Light Displays in the US according to AOL Travel and has been featured on the Travel Channel's "Most Extreme Christmas Celebrations." The show is also listed on the American Bus Association's Top International Events.
Oglebay, and the Winter Festival of Lights, is located 4 miles from I-70 at Exit 2A in Wheeling, West Virginia. The resort is 60 miles from Pittsburgh via I-79 south and I-70 west; 120 miles from Columbus via I-70 east; and 150 miles from Cleveland via I-77 south and I-70 east.

Algonquin student on his way to becoming sports journalist
By Jeff Slovin, Contributing Writer
Northborough – When Chris Cotillo was a young boy, he used to create hand-written trade reports and Excel spreadsheets to track every Major League Baseball (MLB) transaction.? Today the 17-year-old Algonquin Regional High School (ARHS) junior has over 3,200 people following his @TradeDeadliner Twitter account where he covers MLB trade news and rumors.
He is also a writer for CLNSRadio.com, where he covers the Red Sox.
Cotillo has been developing his own network of sources within the baseball business.? Among his followers he counts around 30 current MLB players, and over 100 minor league and former players.? Recently, he broke the story that Vladimir Guerrero, likely a future Hall of Fame member, had signed a deal with the independent-league Long Island Ducks.?? When Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports confirmed the report and credited Cotillo, his @TradeDeadliner account gained 250 followers within 45 minutes.
"It's been amazing, and definitely something I never thought would happen when I started the hobby," ??Cotillo said.
He has received support and encouragement from both local and nationally known sports writers.
When asked to name some of the writers he admires, he noted, "Peter Gammons, a Hall of Fame sportswriter who is considered a legend in the business, was very nice to me at an event this winter and followed me on Twitter after I introduced myself. Rod Bradford and Alex Speier of WEEI have been very kind to me, and have always given me credit when I report something first as well as tips on how to become a better writer. Buster Olney and Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com have both been very helpful to me as well. Every writer I have encountered has been more than kind to me, and I've been able to stay in touch with them through Facebook and Twitter as the season has begun. I'm lucky to have many sources for tips, and hopefully some mentors who know how to succeed in a competitive business."
Cotillo has had the opportunity to interview a number of baseball veterans this winter, including Theo Epstein, John Farrell, Ben Cherington, and Will Middlebrooks.
He also interviewed Stan Van Gundy, the former Orlando Magic basketball coach, at a conference in March.
"He was a great person to talk to, and gave me great answers on some subjects that I was afraid he was going to avoid. As I interview more people, I'm learning what kinds of questions will get answers and which will irritate the interviewee. For example, [Dallas Mavericks owner] Mark Cuban didn't like my questions and threatened to leave me mid-interview."
Cotillo created @TradeDeadliner in 2011, as a way to keep busy during the summer.? Growing up, he had always made plans each year to stay home on July 31, the MLB trade deadline date, so he could keep track of all of the moves that were happening throughout the day. (His Twitter account name was inspired by this annual event.)? By the summer of 2012, he had gained a significant number of followers on Twitter, and this was a key factor, he said, in his decision to pursue sports journalism as a career.? Once he graduates from ARHS, he hopes to attend Boston University or one of the other leading communications schools such as UNC Chapel Hill, Northwestern or University of Maryland.
School and sports journalism consume all of his time right now, and there's not much time left for other interests.
"I love how every potential story provides a new opportunity for me to grow as a writer and reporter," he said.

The Story of the Beatles' First Misstep, 'Magical Mystery Tour'
On Dec. 26, 1967 televisions across Britain were taken over by a surreal adventure, Beatles style. Magical Mystery Tour premiered, in not-so-glorious black-and-white on Boxing Day, to both the delight and confusion of viewers.
The Beatles' third film was a real departure from their previous celluloid outings. Both 1965's Help! and the previous year's A Hard Day's Night were full of comical Beatles exploits and general fun-filled mayhem. Magical Mystery Tour, on the other hand, though still loaded with amazing music, was a surrealistic departure. It's a film with no real story line, instead focusing on odd things happening during a trip in which the Fab Four accompany a busload of family and friends to the sea.
"It was Paul's idea really," said Ringo Starr in Magical Mystery Tour Revisited, a 2012 feature for the DVD re-issue of the film, "we were hanging around in the studio, and he came up with this idea." "It was basically a charabanc trip, which people used to go on from Liverpool to see the Blackpool lights," said the late George Harrison in Anthology, "they'd get loads of crates of beer and an accordion player and all get pissed." It has also been widely thought of as McCartney's take on what Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters were doing on the west coast a couple years before.
The initial reaction to the film was one of general confusion by most. The critics gave it a universal thumbs-down, and even many a Beatles fan scratched their head at the film's stream-of-consciousness style. "It wasn't the kind of thing we could do a disclaimer before it and say, 'Ladies and gentlemen, what you are about to see is a product of our imaginations', and believe me, at this point they're quite vivid" said Paul McCartney in the 2012 feature about the film. The "Aunt Mimi" dream sequence alone, with John Lennon shoveling piles of pasta onto a plate, was confusingly comical, or was that comically confusing?
A guest appearance in the film by the oh-so great Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band was another of Paul's ideas. The band perform the song "Death Cab for Cutie" in a burlesque club while Lennon and Harrison look on. In 1968, the Bonzo's would have McCartney produce their single, "I'm the Urban Spaceman," though due to contractual issues, he was listed as Apollo C. Vermouth.
Ten hours of filming was whittled down to just under an hour for the broadcast. Though filmed in color, BBC 1 didn't broadcast in color in 1967, and the pale black-and-white showing has often been held up as part of the reason for the general dislike of the film on its first showing.
Though famously parodied via the Rutles as the "Tragical History Tour," time has been kind to the movie, and with its 2012 DVD and Blu-ray release, the film is gaining a whole new audience. Even legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese cites the film as significant. "For me, it certainly still holds up," said Scorsese in the 2012 documentary, "The freedom of the picture was very important."
The music, on the other hand, was nothing short of stellar. Aside from the title song, we get "Fool on the Hill," "Blue Jay Way," "Flying," "Your Mother Should Know," and one of Lennon's finest moments, "I Am the Walrus." The songs were released as a double-7″ EP in the U.K. earlier in December, while their U.S. record company made an entire album out of it by including previous non-LP singles.

My two-year-old has developed a new habit; she cannot keep her blankets on herself at night. I tuck her in tightly and she still manages to wiggle out. This new habit comes with an unwelcomed side effect — a constant runny nose. Turns out that even in the spring time, Parisian nights are chilly and blankets are essential.
This beautiful merino wool toddler sleep sack from Bambino Merino has been a life saver. It is designed for toddlers aged 2-4 and is seriously big (I can almost fit in it) so there is lots of space to move around. It is also so soft and comfortable that there isn't any resistance when I put her into it.
If you have a blanket-kicker, even a big one, I strongly recommend this bag!
– Emilie
Absolutely the best sleeping bags around. My daughter has had these since she was born and I was quite worried about her growing out of the normal sized bags and thankfully they invented these! They totally regulate toddler temp so even in hot or v cold weather they keep just warm enough to sleep soundly – genius!!
I love bambino merino – great pj's too.
We LOVE Bambino Merino. They're the best sleeping bags on the market. I have one for Ivy and it gets softer and softer the older it gets.

In the nine years since becoming a mother, this is perhaps the third time I have boarded an airplane alone. Strange sensations: freedom (!), a sense of consummate neatness, and a nagging notion of having forgotten not something, but everything of any consequence that a mommy like me ought to have along. Slow release...
Spending the trip with David Foster Wallace (noticeable to fans?). Reading about America's (in particular) captivation with Top Athletes: "they fascinate us by appealing to our twin compulsions with competitive superiority and hard data" (i.e. statistical proof of their greatness). And reflecting on the upcoming dLife premiere party this Saturday evening at the annual ADA congress. Featured headliners are Pittsburgh Steelers star Kendall Simmons, and a few other names that initially left me cold, sports-retarded as I am.
But I do understand the double-awesome-appeal of people who not only transcend normal athletic ability to turn their sport into an art form, but manage to do so with a chronic disease that is, if nothing else, utterly distracting. DFW probes the mental powers that allow pro athletes to concentrate so single-mindedly on their sport with a crowd of people watching — even hoping they'll blow it in favor of their opponents. No small feat.
Now imagine clearing your mind for a Superbowl game or a Wimbledon match or a marathon if you have diabetes. Think speed, not blood sugar! Think form, not carbs nor injections nor when's the next stop for glucose monitoring?! Don't pass out!
Personally, I think "regular" world-class athletes are wimps compared to the diabetic ones. Can't wait to meet these superstars on Saturday night. If we mere mortal PWDs can get close, that is.

The case for inclusive innovation
Creative, new ideas—innovation—are vital for both emerging and developing economies, and in fact vital for the globalized system of today. And yet there is still uncertainty in the international development space about what innovation is and how it should be done.
Hear today about some of the creative ways that World Vision is addressing the challenges of poverty!
Mpiwan Leitanya used to spend a lot of her time taking her small children to the health care center in Northern Kenya to be treated for dehydration due to frequent diarrhea, which was caused by foodborne disease. The majority of people in Mpiwan's community have been pastoralists for generations, with dairy products making up a large part of their nutrition. Unfortunately, limitations of milk processing and preservation led to her children drinking less nutritious milk at best, and unhygienic milk at worst, which caused them to be ill.
"I used to consume unhygienically milked, handled, and unboiled milk from my camels and goats and gave the same to my children," said Mpiwan. "But I can now use my valuable time attending to my shop instead of going to dispensary to seek treatment for my children due to diarrhea."
What changed for Mpiwan? Our Innovation Fund provided her community with simple yet innovative quality milk testing kits, as well as handling and processing equipment that can be used in rural settings (such as solar powered chillers). Because of these, the availability of nutrient-rich dairy products has greatly improved by extending milk shelf life and ensuring its quality. Mpiwan can now rest assured that she is giving her children safe and very nutritious dairy products.
World Vision has been working for over 65 years with the world's most marginalized people because, as people of faith, we want our hearts to be broken by the things that break the heart of God. In the context of a large organization such as World Vision, we strive to be innovative because of the mission we're drawn to. We recognize that development challenges are complex and need dynamic, sustainable, and scalable solutions—they need innovation.
Innovation is critically important to social and economic inclusiveness and mirrors World Vision's mission as a global relief, development, and advocacy organization dedicated to working with children, families, and their communities to overcome poverty and injustice. We recently launched our second Innovation Fund to test new solutions for enabling children and families to fully realize their potential. Our past pilot projects, like the one Mpiwan participated in, have generated valuable lessons and encouraging results. We hope this fund will stimulate inclusive innovations from within the communities where we work, using a global footprint to help expand our innovation outcomes.
Innovation should serve the welfare of the poor and excluded, and should be scalable, allowing as many people as possible to benefit and contribute. We often think of innovation as being product based, but research [New models of inclusive innovation for development—Heeks et al, 2013] suggests that some of the most successful inclusive innovations come from adaptations to business models—like offering rural farmers such as Mrindwa in Tanzania group insurance, rather than individual, to protect against farming-related losses.
Another example is the changed systems that allow greater access for marginalized groups, like the Rural Amber Alert in Uganda. Because these rural communities have access to an innovative child protection system, many children's lives in 3-year-old Sharon's community were saved from sacrifice by witch doctors.
This is harder to undertake because it requires a functioning innovation ecosystem where the public and private sectors have at least the same innovation goal, albeit for different motives—expanded business opportunities, corporate social responsibility, foreign policy goals, etc. Critical to inclusive innovation is both an understanding of who needs to be included and where on the innovation continuum each functions.
On the ladder of inclusive innovation [ibid] World Vision works to involve excluded groups in the development of our innovative solutions. We believe that grassroots innovation is vital to the empowerment of lower income groups who ultimately understand their challenges better than any agency or market can. But the environment is not perfect. Yet.
We're beginning to recognize the role that agencies such as World Vision play in the innovation ecosystem and how to collaborate to promote innovation in the development space. Agility, or the capacity to fail fast and fail forward, is challenging to organizations like ours, but without it—without an investment in inclusive innovation—there will still be a culture of exclusion, which inhibits the elimination of extreme poverty.
Because of this, World Vision is dedicated to finding innovative solutions to poverty and injustice, and we're not afraid to fail a few times while we try, learning from our failures as we go. We work with mothers like Mpiwan, farmers like Mrindwa, and communities like Sharon's to design innovative solutions to make success more likely—more dynamic, sustainable, and scalable.
As the end of extreme poverty comes within sight, we need creative new solutions to address poverty in some of the world's hardest places. Join us in addressing these challenges! Support our Innovation Fund.

a VirtualTourist member from Newtown
I am coming to Florence for the month of October and would like any ideas you may have on an apartment. It will just be me (my wife is not able to join) and I will have a car, so a parking space (at least nearby) is a necessity. I will have my laptop so an internet connection in the flat is also a requirement.
I would like very much to stay in a typical central location, quiet and away from tourists but among locals. I plan to make full use of local food markets, bakeries and cafes so I want to be living in the midst of local activity. We have been to Florence many times, and this time I want to get a real feel for the true heart and soul of this magnificent city! Since I will prepare meals myself, it should have a fully equippred kitchen and clother washer.
Thank you in advance for any guidance you can offer!!!
Warm regards,
Bob Marchese

Unlike the mainstream brand of jazz or even pop music, its largely unclassifiable outings like this 2008 release that prod or perhaps interrogate one's psyche. Executed by four noted improvisers, the program is framed on shifting metrics amid a wide-open soundstage. And it's all enhanced by the stunning Super Audio CD engineering processes.
Pianist Benoit Delbecq frequently acts as the director of festivities via his often-transcendent piano phrasings in concurrence with his band-mates' layered methodologies. At times you could hear a pin drop yet it's not all about solstice and quietude. Enamored by the superior sonic characteristics, you'll hear percussionist and electronics ace Lars Juul's snare drum catapult out of your stereo speakers. But on works such as "Two Fold," the quartet abides by a hustling and bustling mindset featuring the musicians manner of guessing each other's subsequent move. Here is where we might consider an intense game of pool.
Within various movements, the band renders avant-garde soundscapes, intermittently shaded with ethereal overtones and trumpeter Arve Henriksen's EFX altered vocals. In addition, these passages cast an eerie yet uncannily enduring set of musical vistas. Then with "Time Makes The Time," they dish out staggered and abstract jazz themes to complement a sequence of unwieldy propositions and daintily generated sounds.
Abetted by Steve Arguelles use of delays and filters, the instrumentalists often toggle between fractured minimalism and a nouveau mode of free jazz. However, it's most assuredly a group-centric effort. Ultimately, the quartet presents new and vivid connotations to most interpretations of escapism. And each subsequent listen discloses previously undetected subtleties and nuances. (A top pick, regardless of genre, for 2008.... )

Well the day has arrived. Today I head back to Uni. Wow. I'm nervous, but also really excited. I've been thinking about doing this for a couple of years, and when I found out months ago that I could do a graphic course part-time (it's surprisingly difficult to do graphic design part-time in Perth at a respected institute, it's all full-time courses and my mortgage ain't gonna pay itself so I need to keep working) I got up the courage to ask my boss if I could do it. He said yep, and here I am.
I've got my notepads ready, all the design programs at home now, internet (yeah haven't had that at home yet, long story), external hard-drives, new desk chair, new dairy. I'm really excited, did I mention that?
I really want to put up some photos from my holiday but I haven't had a chance go through them yet. For now though, I leave you with the drink I consumed every evening as the sun went down – cucumber, elderflower syrup and gin. I first tried this combination at Bivouac in Perth, and although they wouldn't tell me there was elderflower syrup in there, I got my sneak on and eventually found it. They make it quite different to this, I guess my version is the lazy version. The elderflower syrup is just awesome – so summery.
Hendricks gin
Elderflower syrup
Tonic water
In a short glass, add a two strips of cucumber using a potato peeler. Add a few cubes of ice. Add 30ml gin (one shot) and a dash of elderflower syrup (to taste). Top up with tonic water. Enjoy!

Sara Blaedel—Denmark's "Crime Queen" Looks to Make Her Mark in America
Sara Blaedel is about to invade the United States. Dubbed "Crime Queen" since her first mystery was published in her native Denmark in 2004, Sara's work—her second book, Only One Life—has finally landed on America's shores. And her timing couldn't be better. Following the success of Stieg Larsson's trilogy with Lisbeth Salander, as well as Wallender, the PBS series starring Kenneth Branagh based on the popular books by Henning Mankell, and Camilla Lackberg's cerebral police procedurals, Americans love, love, LOVE these dark and brooding mysteries set in the Nordic countries. They are about to fall in love with Sara Blaedel.
"Ten years ago, crime fiction wasn't that popular in Scandinavia at all," Sara said. "When something turns out to be a success, lots more are coming. If you have a very, very good tennis plan, then lots of people want to play tennis. That's the same with crime fiction in Scandinavia. Lots of new ones are starting up in the genre."
Interviewed by phone from Los Angeles where she was enjoying a vacation with friends, Sara talked about setting murder mysteries in Denmark. "We have serial killers here in L.A.; it doesn't happen that often in Denmark," she said. "At the same time, people have that dark side and they have the same evil minds. The most dangerous part of building up a crime fiction character is when you cannot see that evil part in a person. Often the very serious crimes in Denmark are exactly like that; you cannot see, you're not prepared."
Sara's first novel, Green Dust, introduced readers to Louise Rick, who graduated with honors from the National Police College, and became a homicide detective in Copenhagen. Louise's best friend from high school is Camilla Lind, a journalist who works for the Copenhagen newspaper, Morgenavisen. Green Dust hasn't been translated into English—yet—so readers in the U.S. must pick up the series with the second entry, Call Me Princess, or Only One Life, released here in July.
In Only One Life, Samra, a young girl from Jordan, is found in a watery grave, weighed down with a piece of concrete tied around her waist. Did Samra's father kill her because she had dishonored the family? Only One Life is an ambitious book, much more than a murder mystery. Sara delves into the controversial issue of honor killings, when family members condone, even support the killing of a woman whose actions have embarrassed the family. In Denmark, as in other Western countries, young people who immigrate are caught between two cultures, trying to assimilate while holding onto old values. It's a delicate balancing act particularly for young women whose lives back in Middle Eastern countries are closely monitored.
While researching Only One LIfe, Sara visited police headquarters in Copenhagen. The police official she met with dismissed her original plot as "too boring" and encouraged her to write about honor killings. Sara was initially reluctant, thinking the topic was too political, but agreed to meet with the police inspector who had handled an honor killing of a young girl from Pakistan whose body was dumped in a harbor. After a nine month investigation, the girl's father was arrested and charged with her murder.
"It took him only three minutes to convince me," she said. "I had to write about it. There are things going on in Denmark. We have very big problems, not problems with Danish and Muslims, people getting together, because most of the time that's very good and works fine. But for the young people who really want to try to fit into the Danish culture, that makes a lot of trouble in the family. That was the interesting part for me to research."
Only One Life came out five years ago in Denmark. One of Sara's first readings attracted a large number of people from the Muslim community, including a young woman who sat in the third row. "There was a break in the middle of my speech and then after the break she disappeared," Sara said. Following the event, Sara was walking across the parking lot to her hotel when she was approached by a young Muslim man who asked her to sign a copy of the book, praising her for showing both sides of the controversy. "I got goosebumps on my arms," she said. "It was the best review I ever got." The book was for the young Muslim woman who, Sara learned, was hiding from her family and living undercover to escape an arranged marriage.
Sara doesn't shy away from dealing with tough topics. The fourth book in the series, Farewell to Freedom, deals with human trafficking and how the Eastern European mafia now controls most of the prostitution in Copenhagen. "I'm not writing about these topics to provoke; I'm writing about it because it's going on," she said. "[Human trafficking] is the most cruel crime and evil crime we have these days." The Copenhagen police now have a special unit that deals with human trafficking.
Talk to Sara about Louise and Camilla, and they emerge as real people, not fictional characters. "Louise was very clear to me to begin with because she looks exactly like one of my close friends," she said. "The skills that I put into her are most of what I hoped if I had been a cop."
There's a scene in Green Dust, a mere ten pages into the book, when Louise flashes back to a time when she broke down telling a young woman that her husband had been killed. "She had to leave and her older colleague, a man of course, said, `Okay, if you can't stand this, maybe you shouldn't be a cop.' After I wrote that scene I could feel it so clearly myself, how she reacted telling that young woman that her husband was killed. I couldn't let her be hardcore; she had that reaction. I was thinking—whoa—that is a very bad beginning in a crime fiction story, because if she can't be a cop, maybe I should just write Fifty Shades of Gray." Sara paused and laughed. She consulted one of the Copenhagen police officers, asking him if she should delete that section. "And he said, `Sara, I have to tell you something. If she didn't have that empathy, she will never be a good investigator. And she could never get a job here.' That was really interesting to me."
Camilla's role in the mysteries is to see the crime from another point of view. "I wanted to tell it from the police angle and also from the human angle, because Camilla can go to mothers, suspects," she explained. "It makes it possible for me to come all the way around a crime case." In Only One Life Camilla befriends the mother of the crime victim, even protecting her from an angry crowd.
"In the Copenhagen Police Department, they were telling me stories about how it impacts crime-solving investigations, that the journalist [who arrives] at the crime scene at almost the same time the police arrive, can sometimes be very, very helpful and sometimes it can mess it all up," she said. Police in America are rarely so understanding about journalists at crime scenes.
Sara has dyslexia and struggled as a child. "It took me a long time to read a book," she said. "I was a little bit shy, I wasn't a very outgoing person." Sara's mother loved Raymond Chandler and Agatha Christie. "My best moments were when I was reading crime fiction." She held many jobs, working as a waitress, graphic artist, even started her own publishing company. "I never had that dream that one day I will be a crime writer."
Sara's husband is a model builder, creating structures that are used in exhibits and in TV commercials. They have one son, 15, and two daughters, 18 and 21, from her husband's previous marriage.
Before she writes one word, Sara spends about three months doing extensive research, often taking photos from the internet of possible settings and characters. Perhaps because of her dyslexia, Sara describes herself as a visual person. "I never use the photos because they could turn up as horrible people in my books," she said with a laugh. "It's very clear for me that the stories do better when I can see it in pictures. Before I start to write, I know the people."
When she's in the midst of a book, Sara admitted she's not easy to live with. "Sometimes I'm in a bad mood," she said. "I'm trying to put myself so much into it, that it takes me some time to get out of it. If I'm quiet, my son will say, `oh, mama, did you kill someone today?' Was it a bad thing going on in my story today. It's how it works for me. The story is almost more real than real life at the time I'm writing."
Sara hopes her books may tempt her readers to visit Denmark. "It's so beautiful in the summertime," she said. "Copenhagen is wonderful; it's not just a slogan."

Dual-view LCD technologies have begun to appear in the home entertainment market, but now Hyundai is trying to bring that technology into the car with a dual-view in-dash display. The idea behind this technology is pretty simple. The driver of the car would see one image, presumably the navigation or vehicle info, while the passenger of the vehicle would see something different, like media information.
Now while, the idea behind the dual-view LCDs is basic, the technology that makes it happen probably isn't. This would be an excellent feature, given that the quality of the display remains sufficient for navigation and the like, but finding a price point people would be willing to pay is the difficult task. I guess we will just have to wait and see, but don't expect to see it in the 2009 Hyundai Genesis Coupe at the New York Auto Show. [via Crunchgear]

John Lichfield
London Independent
Saturday, Dec 20, 2008
Europe exists, it appears. If Greek students sneeze, or catch a whiff of tear-gas, young people take to the streets in France and now Sweden. Yesterday, masked youths threw two firebombs at the French Institute in Athens. Windows were smashed but the building was not seriously damaged. Then youths spray-painted two slogans on the building. One said, "Spark in Athens. Fire in Paris. Insurrection is coming". The other read, "France, Greece, uprising everywhere".
It was a calculated and violent attempt to link disparate youth protest movements. Links between protests in Greece and France – and, to a lesser degree, unrest in Sweden – may seem tenuous, even non-existent. But social and political ailments and their symptoms transmit as rapidly as influenza in the television, internet and text-message age.
With Europe, and the world, pitching headlong into a deep recession, the "Greek Syndrome", as one French official calls it, was already being monitored with great care across the European Union. The attempt to politicise and link the disputes across EU frontiers may prove to be a random act of self-dramatisation by an isolated group on the Greek far left. But it does draw attention to the similarities – and many differences – between the simultaneous outbreaks of unrest in three EU countries.
Thousands of young Greeks have been rioting on and off for almost two weeks. They are protesting against the chaotic, and often corrupt, social and political system of a country still torn between European "modernity" and a muddled Balkan past. They can be said, in that sense, to be truly revolting.
The riots began with a mostly "anarchist" protest against the killing of a 15-year-old boy by police but spread to other left-wing groups, immigrants and at times, it seemed, almost every urban Greek aged between 18 and 30. The protesters claim that they belong to a sacrificed "€600" generation, doomed to work forever for low monthly salaries. French lycée (sixth-form) students took to the street in their tens of thousands this week and last to protest against modest, proposed changes in the school system and the "natural wastage" of a handful of teaching posts. In other words, they were engaged in a typical French revolution of modern times: a conservative-left-wing revolt, not for change but against it. The lycée students are, broadly, in favour of the status quo in schools, although they admit the cumbersome French education system does not serve them well.
But behind the unrest lie three other factors: a deep disaffection from the French political system; a hostility to capitalism and "globalism" and the ever-simmering unrest in the poor, multiracial suburbs of French cities.
In Malmo on Thursday night, young people threw stones at police and set fire to cars and rubbish bins. This appears to have been mostly a local revolt by disaffected immigrant and second-generation immigrant youths, joined by leftist white youths, against the closure of an Islamic cultural centre. As in Greece and France, the Swedish authorities believe the troubles have been encouraged, and magnified, by political forces of the far left.

A set of cards, numbered from 1 to 10, is sequenced and made into a deck held face down. They will be exposed in correct number order using the following procedure:
While spelling out each number word ("o-n-e", "t-w-o", etc.), a card is taken from the top and put onto the bottom of the deck for each letter; after spelling the word, the next card is turned up to reveal the number just spelled out. It is removed from the deck and placed face up.
How must the cards have been sequenced originally?

J&W Cycles, Washington, has made the Dealernews Top 100 for the 22nd year in a row.
This year, 36 states and one Canadian province were represented in the Top 100. Missouri had the most winners with eight dealerships claiming the honor, but J & W is the only dealership in the United States to win the award every year since its inception in 1991.
Bob Jones chalks up the winning streak to persistence in providing the best quality customer service and a huge selection of inventory.
The shop carries both on and off-road, new and used motorcycles, ATVs, utility vehicles (UTVs), sports scooters and numerous accessories. The store also has a parts and service department.
Jones, along with his brother Jim, started the dealership in 1977 with just Kawasaki motorcycles.
"Then we added Suzuki, then Yamaha, then Polaris and then Victory," he said. And last year, the brothers were able to buy out Unique Powersports in Sullivan, which allowed them to become Honda dealers.
Jones said business dropped some in 2009, but it has been steadily growing again in the last few years.
"This year is starting off good," he said.
Jones said the hottest item of late has been the two-seater UTVs like the Suzuki Mule, which has a short bed behind the bench seat that can be used to haul tools and equipment.
"Farmers really like them," he said. "They used four-wheelers a lot until these came out."
Streetbike sales also have been on the rise. Jones attributes some of that to the spike in gas prices.
Jones said he was a history teacher at Pattonville High School when he and Jim first opened the store. Back then, he worked only part of the year because motorcycles were seasonal items. But when ATVs came out, the business picked up enough for him to work all year.
The brothers have always been into motorcycles, Jones said. He bought his first dirt bike, a British made cycle called an Ariel, in 1966. The next bike he acquired was a BSA, another British bike.
"You've probably never heard of (an Ariel) he said. "That was back when most bikes were British, before the Japanese came into the picture."
J&W Cycles is located on Highway 47 south of Highway 100. The store is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays. The company's website is www.jwcycles.com.

The films of Jay Rosenblatt tell epic tales in the time it takes Billy Mays to expound on the wonders of Orange Glo and Oxi Clean. It's remarkable in itself that in one to 20 minutes, Rosenblatt can explore the boring lives behind the most evil of past dictators (Human Remains) or how boys must learn to be men and shut off their feminine sides (The Smell of Burning Ants). But it's more so when you factor in Rosenblatt's process. For the most part, this isn't original film. He takes found footage--educational films, old home movies, silent shorts--and cuts them together with dubbed narrative to tell a whole new story. Seven of these totally original not-originals will be shown as part of the Video Association of Dallas' Texas Documentary Tour, which is presented this month as a co-production with 3 Stars Cinema. The screening takes place at 7 p.m. in the Orientation Theater of the Dallas Museum of Art, 1717 N. Harwood St. Tickets are $10. Seating is limited, so make reservations by calling 214-823-8799 or e-mailing email@example.com.

The second new piece is by Troy Powell, a former dancer and choreographer for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. New York, New York will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the Majestic Theatre, 1925 Elm St. Tickets are $15 to $30 for the Cultural Awareness Series. Call the box office at 214-631-ARTS.

Our method of flower arranging isn't so much an art as an equation: Buy bouquet from grocery store, throw away the ugly stuff (ferns, baby's breath, dead flowers), cut the remaining stems into points and put in a vase with tap water. Voila! But then our carnations and gerbera daisies have nothing on Japan in Bloom. From Friday through Sunday, Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arranging, will be celebrated at the Crow Collection of Asian Art. The Japanese galleries will contain an exhibit of flower arrangements inspired by pieces in the collection and designed based on the three elements of heaven, man and earth. In addition, on Saturday, the museum hosts a family day event with music by the Kodo drummers (noon), a tea ceremony (2 p.m.), Ikebana workshops (11 a.m. and 1 p.m.) and all-day art activities for kids. Admission is free, but the tea ceremony is $5 to $10. The Crow Collection of Asian Art, 2010 Flora St. Call 214-979-6430.

We know more about what modern art isn't than what it is. It's not a bunch of sunflowers or a bowl of fruit on a table. But, according to the Dallas Museum of Art's new survey of 11 working Lone Star artists called Come Forward: Emerging Art in Texas, what it is is much more scintillating. There's finger-sucking portraits (Joey Fauerso), a bull-riding installation (Chris Sauter), surreal tableaus (Marshall Garth Thompson), slacker-life residue (Brad Tucker) and drawings of characters named Miami Dave and Diamond Leruso (Robyn O'Neil). The exhibit, curated in part by the DMA's Suzanne Weaver, who does the Concentrations series of exhibits, looks at promising artists either in grad school or recently graduated as they produce new work that reflects the vital art communities in Texas. It opens Sunday and runs through May 11 in the J.E.R. Chilton Galleries. In conjunction with it, the museum presents Progressive Texas: Art at the Texas Centennial of 1936 in the Textile Gallery through May 11 and Texas on Paper in the Concourse through next spring. DMA, 1717 N. Harwood St. Call 214-922-1200.

The Texas Bound series is the epitome of Arts and Letters Live. It's actors (check) reading stories (check) on stage for an audience (check). So it's only fitting that the first of four Texas Bounds kicks off the ALL season. During Texas Bound: Exchanges, local actors Bruce DuBose, John Flores, Tina Parker and Christina Vela--representing Undermain Theatre, Our Endeavors, Kitchen Dog Theater and Teatro Dallas--will perform four short stories by Texas writers. Flores and Vela, husband and wife, will perform Ruth Pennebaker's "His and Hers." The same program will be performed at both 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. in the Dallas Museum of Art's Horchow Auditorium. Tickets are $15 to $17. Call ALL at 214-922-1220.

We remember when dance was confined to bony girls in tutus with their hair slicked back into knots and guys in tights, looking like life-size Ken dolls. Now, as in sports and marketing, dance has gone extreme. Dancers can't just twirl; they must fly. Danger is as great an influence as Diaghilev. The latest example to bring its touring production here is Aeros, a collaboration between contemporary dance choreographers such as David Parsons and a troupe of 20-something championship gymnasts from Romania with help from the creators of the Broadway show STOMP. Aeros performs at 8 p.m. Monday and Tuesday at the Bass Performance Hall, 330 E. Fourth St., Fort Worth. Tickets are $35 to $65. Call the box office at 817-212-4280.

Why in plays, operas and novels does wearing someone else's clothing always fool everyone? It's like the Clark Kent and Superman thing. It's the same guy; he's just wearing glasses. How can they not see that? This is exactly why we can't go to the opera. They don't much appreciate the audience yelling clues to the performers: "Hey, can't you tell who that it is? It's just that other guy's clothes!" Of course, in Mozart's Don Giovanni, the clothes exchange works and foils the seduction of the legendary lover, Don. But, also in Don Giovanni, a stone statue comes to life, shows up for dinner and then sends the womanizing lead character to hell to atone for his sins. It's about as realistic as reality TV. Mozart's famous Italian opera marks the finale of another Dallas Opera season. Don Giovanni opens at 7:30 p.m. Friday and continues with performances at 2 p.m. Sunday, 7:30 p.m. Wednesday and 7:30 p.m. March 1 at the Music Hall at Fair Park, 909 First Ave. Tickets are $19 to $89. Call the box office at 214-443-1000.

TWO men staged a Happy Slapping-style ambush on a cyclist in Hampshire.
The 29-year-old rider was cycling on Angerstein Road in Portsmouth when a man approached him close to the junction with Monmouth Road and asked him for a lighter.
When he reached into his pocket the man punched him in the face causing him to fall to the floor.
After falling he saw another man filming him from the pavement on his mobile phone, before the first man assaulted him again.
The victim needed treatment at the Queen Alexandra Hospital for severe bruising and is awaiting results of a X-Ray to check for suspected fractures.
The first man is in his late 20s, 5ft 10ins tall, of athletic build with brown hair cut in a short back and sides.
He wore blue denim jeans and a dark Adidas hoodie.
His accomplice was also white and had a white mobile phone.

Formed in 1997 Chicago Heavy Rock band SOiL quickly took the scene by storm.. After their first independent release, the band was the first rock group signed by the legendary Clive Davis to J Records. The band achieved mainstream success with their major label debut "Scars" in 2001. SOiL is best known for the classic hits "Halo", "Unreal", and "Redefine".
The band went through brief line up changes until reuniting with original vocalist Ryan McCombs in October 2011 for a tour commemorating the tenth anniversary of their landmark album "Scars". The band permanently rejoined with McCombs after his departure from Texas act Drowning Pool in late 2011. The line up is currently completed with fellow original members Tim King (Bass) and Adam Zadel (Guitar). The band has sold over one million records worldwide with their album "Scars" hitting Silver in the United Kingdom following the anniversary tour. SOiL's first ever DVD entitled "Re-LIVE-ing The Scars" was released May 8, 2012 and was recorded live in London, England during the band's sold out 2011 UK Tour.
Following the release of the DVD, SOiL began writing new material and entered the studio in February 2013 with producer Ulrich Wild (Pantera, Breaking Benjamin) to begin recording their first album since the return of McCombs. "This was by far the most comfortable and natural recording process we have ever experienced" says guitarist Adam Zadel "From the writing, pre production, and through the main tracking and mixing, everything was smooth and fluid" SOiL's sixth studio album "WHOLE" will be released worldwide in August 2013 via AFM Records (worldwide) and Pavement Entertainment (North America). The album also sees the band going 100% independent with the release. "We wanted to call all the shots on this album and for the first time ever hold our future in our own hands" says bassist Tim King.
This will mark the first album with original frontman Ryan McCombs since 2004's "re.de.fine". The new album sees SOiL returning to its classic sound that both fans and critics alike have come to admire. The band hails the new album as "An album that could have come directly after the "Scars" album". Some featured songs from "WHOLE" include "The Hate Song", "Loaded Gun", "Way Gone", and "Shine On" which is dedicated to the SOiL fans for standing by the band throughout the years. Another track, titled "Amalgamation" sees Ryan taking song titles from both the SOiL and Drowning Pool releases he was a part of and weaving them into verses of the song.
Ryan McCombs's take on the lyrical process on "Whole": I think lyrically speaking, those that are familiar with the work I've done are going to get the next chapter that they would expect. Words from a heart and mind that has lived them. One of the greatest things I experience as a lyricist is when people come up and share with me how a song, or a specific verse or line from a song, got them through a hard time or times in their lives. It reminds me of the times music did that for me an how powerful music and/or a lyric can be in a person's life.
Drums and percussion on "WHOLE" were performed by Will Hunt who is best known for his work with Black Label Society, Evanescence, and Device."Will added a whole new dimension to the songs" states bassist Tim King. "He added a monstrous and aggressive vibe to the album".
A guest solo on the song "Wake Up" was also performed by long time friend Mike Mushok of the band Staind. "
The new album is a decisive step forward for SOiL" according to producer Ulrich Wild. "Back to their roots, of sorts, they are leaner, meaner and more mature. I'm thrilled to have been a part of it!"
Beyond Sorrow's distinctive sound is infused with Swedish Melodic Death Metal harmonies and American Metalcore riffs. Just when it feels like a genre has bled all possibilities and a certain style of metal has hit the wall of mediocrity, along comes a band to blast life back into it.
Beyond Sorrow's main focus is to create their own form of those well-established genres, producing an innovative mixture of metal. Their music can only be described as an intoxicating hybrid of Melodic Death Metal and Metalcore.
This band completely encases everything each member loves about metal harmonies, melodies, brutality, and creative songwriting.
David Pruitt - Vocals
Jonathan Taunton - Drums
Billy Pouncey - Bass

HellBent was started as a studio project in early 2005. Mike and Dave spend a few years writing and recording different styles of metal to form their own sound. After about 4 years of working on and off developing the completely original sound that you enjoy today they decided it was time to go full time with it and start playing shows and put out a professional album. Mike and Dave tried a few different combinations and finally found a drummer in early 2012. While things didn't work out with that drummer it lead to meeting the right people to truly make up HellBent as Mike and Dave visualized years ago.
Now HellBent is putting together shows across the southeastern US and playing with great bands. We will be in your town soon enough and can't wait to meet y'all and melt your faces.
It has taken a long time for HellBent to get to the point that it is today. But every minute of every day was worth it. We appreciate all the support we get from the local scene and our friends and families. We know it's a hard on them to let us go off and chase our dreams. We do everything we do for every one of you.

Stimulus To Help As Transit Tries To Keep Up
"Americans are riding public transportation in record numbers yet municipalities across the country are struggling to keep up with basic services. The new economic stimulus package will give a much-needed financial boost to public transit systems. Host Bruce Gellerman talks with William Millar, president of the American Public Transportation Association, about what the federal money will mean for public transit."
"GELLERMAN: So 8.4 billion dollars for mass transit. Eight billion dollars more for high-speed rail. Where is that going?"
"MILLAR: Well, a number of years ago, the Congress designated eleven different corridors around the country for high-speed rail. Some are well known, such as the Northeast Corridor between Washington and Boston, say. Some are less well known, the Cascadia Corridor up in the Great Northwest for example. This money will allow for major improvements in some of those corridors. I certainly predict that if we're able to try high-speed rail in at least a couple of the corridors and more and more Americans see the advantage of high-speed rail that that will start a revolution akin to what we did with the interstate highway system way back in the 50s when people began to sample what a really good road could mean. Well the same thing with public transit and with intercity rail, high speed rail. Certainly that's one of the great things about the stimulus package, you can not only create many, many, many thousands of jobs, but we can also move our infrastructure ahead and modernize it, and I think we get a real two-fer when we're able to do that."

LAS VEGAS — USC officials are scheduled to meet in Seattle today with a high school coach who claims Washington assistant coach Tosh Lupoi paid him $4,500 for a recruit's tutoring and online classes.
The meeting will take place at the University of Washington and include NCAA and Washington officials. The information gathered is significant to USC because new Trojans coach Steve Sarkisian could face sanctions under the NCAA's new head coach responsibility bylaws.
The rule presumes a coach is responsible for any violations committed by his assistant coaches and could be suspended if found guilty. Sarkisian denied any knowledge of the alleged payments.
"I did everything in my power to promote a compliant atmosphere (at Washington) and I'm going to do the exact same thing here at USC," Sarkisian said.
The rule, which passed in 2012, is so new that no case has established what the NCAA's Committee on Infractions believes is enough to rebut the presumption of responsibility.
Lupoi issued a statement Thursday that denied wrongdoing.
"I won't let these sorts of untrue attacks break my focus! I look forward to an honest and thorough investigation," Lupoi said. "It hurts to read these sorts of things, despite their suspicious motives, but I have faith in the process."
Mike Davis, a track coach at Lynnwood, Wash., High School, said he will provide the NCAA with bank records showing he received $4,500. Davis coached Andrew Basham, a defensive lineman at Lynnwood who signed with Washington last year but did not academically qualify.
"I just couldn't lie about it," Davis told the Los Angeles Times. "Who am I if I lie about it, you know what I'm saying? I just felt like I had to tell the truth. … It's like I've been run over by the bus, and I'm just trying to be honest with the whole thing."
Davis said he received the payments from Lupoi at the Washington football office.
USC athletic director Pat Haden said when he "vetted" Sarkisian for possible NCAA violations before he was hired. Sarkisian wanted to hire Lupoi as the Trojans' defensive line coach but that will no longer be possible with USC's sensitivity to NCAA violations, according to an athletic department source.
About three weeks ago, USC was prepared to pay Lupoi's $410,000 buyout. But that was before Davis went public with his allegations.
The situation is similar in some ways to the case of former USC assistant coach Willie Mack Garza, who was fired in 2011 after he admitted he paid $1,500 for a recruit (Baylor tailback Lache Seastrunk) and his mother to visit Tennessee for an unofficial recruiting visit.
Then-Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin was not punished because the new NCAA guidelines were not in effect. Garza was given a three-year "show cause" order that puts severe restrictions on his ability to find another job with an NCAA institution.
The scrutiny on Sarkisian will also cast questions on Haden's decision to hire the former USC assistant. Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin, Boise State coach Chris Petersen and former USC interim coach Ed Orgeron were interviewed.
Vanderbilt coach James Franklin, a candidate for the Texas job, was also interested.
"I could be completely wrong," Haden said of the hire. "We'll find out."
It is not even a certainty that Lupoi will coach for Washington at the Fight Hunger Bowl. Washington interim coach Marques Tuiasosopo was asked Thursday morning if Lupoi would coach.
"As of now," Tuiasosopo said.

Screenshooter icon in Xfce 4.2
I just installed the "Screenshooter" plugin in Xfce.
But the icon is... not appropriate and fits very poorly in the bar.
Can anyone tell me the name of this image file? And if not, can anyone tell me the name of the executable that activates this otherwise brilliant applet?
Curiously, there is a very good icon for it in /usr/share/icons/rodent, which is not used.

I really like it
I love the hi pitched screech at 2:30 I think maybe that is what you need just a bit more of to top off the song. Not that screech in particular but just a couple more higher octave noises at a few select parts of the really hard dubstep sections. Also I'd like to mess around with the song in FL studio a bit myself so I was wondering what scale is this song in?
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Only thing I can imagine fixing on this song is making it longer xD

Aside from that, well thought out. I can't wait to here the full version of this.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
