The Monroe County History Center provides dynamic, hands-on educational programs for students, youth groups/clubs, scouts, lifelong learners, etc. All programs meet select Indiana Academic Standards. We have a variety of programs to choose from, but if you don't see the program you need listed below, please contact the Education Manager for more information.
Unguided Basic Tour and Scavenger Hunt – Teachers who wish to guide their students through the galleries are provided with the "Tour Points of Interest" information sheet and copies of our scavenger hunt. Cost: Free with individual student museum admission
Guided Basic Tour – A museum staff member will provide a guided tour of the Cook Gallery exhibits. This tour usually lasts about an hour, but can be modified for time constraints. Cost: $30 (per group per session) + individual student museum admission
Guided Subject Tour – A Guided Subject Tour focuses on a particular subject of your choosing. Additional programming (specialized scavenger hunts, activities, and/or presentations) may be added for an additional fee. This kind of tour will last between 30 – 60 minutes depending on the subject being covered. Cost: $35 (per group per session) + individual student museum admission
Each workshop allows students to have a fun, hands-on experience. Workshops are intended for students from Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade. Workshops are designed for groups of 30 students at a time and last about 60 minutes.
Cost $30 (per group per session) + individual student museum admission (All workshops, except ABCs of Monroe County, can be done off-site for $40.)
ABCs of Monroe County (Pre-K – 2nd grade): Students get to know Monroe County by reading about an alphabet's worth of Bloomington people and places, and then visit the galleries to pick out important people and places to include in their own "ABCs of Monroe County" books.
MoCo Critters (grades 3 – 8): Discover the animals who have called Monroe County home since the last ice age. Learn what makes a fossil a fossil, and how animals adapt to their environment.
Rock On! (grades 3 – 8): Learn about limestone and the limestone industry that plays such a part in Monroe County History.
Monroe County in the Civil War (grades 3 – 8): Experience a day in the life of a Civil War soldier by examining historical reproductions of items used during the war. Learn about Monroe County's contribution to the Civil War, on the battlefield and the home front.
Pioneer Life (grades 3 – 8): Step back in time and experience the chores and school work that a Monroe County pioneer child did in the early 1800s. Childhood wasn't all work and no play back then, so students will also try their hands at pioneer era games and toys.
National History Day (grades 6 – 12): This hands-on workshop focuses on skills that students use in preparing their projects for National History Day with help from staff members who are former National History Day judges. Students learn about the three types of sources, then research, create, and present miniature exhibits about historical people and events using real artifacts from our collection.

Community Involvement
Community Involvement
At Succulent Chocolates, we believe in giving back to the community. This is especially true for the female community. As a young female entrepreneur, Owner and Lead Chocolatier Sandra Abballe is a firm believer in female empowerment and looks for every opportunity to help get involved.
After winning the WXN Top 100 Most Powerful Women Award in 2014, Sandra wanted to get more involved with the WXN community. Empowering other women in business is a high priority for Succulent Chocolates. This is why Succulent Chocolates and Sweets is the official chocolate sponsor for the WXN Breakfast series.
Recipe for Change is FoodShare's annual signature fundraising event to promote healthy food and food literacy in schools. Recipe for Change is a way to connect, celebrate and savour with over 30 sweet and savoury dishes made by some of the city's best chefs. We provided guests with samples of our all-natural granola bits and our earl grey bonbons throughout the night.
The Chocolate Ball is one of Toronto's most elegant and lavish events held in Toronto with proceeds from the event going towards Prostate and Breast Cancer Initiatives. The evening was studded with events such as; silent auctions, savory chocolate stations, photo booths, chocolate tasting stations and our signature Smore's Station
Eat to the Beat is a mecca for urban foodies who come to experience the best Ontario's culinary scene has to offer. It is the only event in Canada that exclusively features the talent of 60 female chefs – women supporting women through the challenges that come with a breast cancer diagnosis. Guests had the opportunity to enjoy a selection of our award winning bonbons and granola bites during the night's festivities all in support of Willow Breast & Hereditary Cancer Support.
Succulent Chocolates was also the official chocolate sponsor for 2015's Stop the Abuse Conference put on by the Moving Forward Foundation. Domestic violence affects countless Canadians a year, and large portion of the victims of the violence happen to be women. Domestic violence is also an issue that is often swept under the rug and not discussed - we need to start the conversation to prevent it from happening.
Any time there is an opportunity to empower and improve the lives of women, Succulent Chocolates is quick to join the cause. Succulent Chocolates was also the chocolate sponsor for 2015's TEDx Women Vaughan Conference. TEDx Vaughan Women brought many talented female experts from different fields together to share new ideas that will improve the way we live today.

Debian has set up a Wifi drivers page to help users install drivers for their devices. I have a Realtek WiFi adapter in my laptop and this page helped me install drivers with in minutes. There is a list of different WiFi devices with the name of their manufacturers and model numbers. Identify your device from the list, there is a help page link next to device names with further instructions on how to install drivers. Follow the instructions, it is possible that you will have to restart your system after installing the drivers.

Articles about free and open source GNU Linux based operating systems such as Debian and Ubuntu.
Ubuntu 12.04 vs Debian 7
This weekend I had some extra time so I decided to get back to my old hobby of trying new Linux distributions. I stopped using Linux altogether because on my previous jobs I had to work on Windows. My new job gives me the freedom to use whatever operating system I like. So yesterday, I installed Ubuntu 12.04. The installation was smooth like always, Ubuntu correctly detected all the hardware and installed drivers for them. With in less than an hour I was on the beautiful Ubuntu desktop.
I am not a fan of Ubuntu's unity interface. I didn't like the dasher as it occupied lots of screen space. I think user interface designers should understand that people read right to left so a menu bar on right is very distracting for people who mostly work on the web. People like me, don't really need a menu that big. I tried to auto-hide dasher which worked but it was not that sensitive to the pointer. I also hated that in this open source operating system, my desktop search feature is showing me results for paid apps. After trying Ubuntu for a while, I decided that I don't like it.
I decided to try Debian and instead of stable I went for testing version of Debian Wheezy which is the next Debian release. Debian has recently announced release candidate 1 for Wheezy which means it is pretty stable now. I downloaded the DVD image and burned it. Like always, Debian installer was quick, smooth and ugly. It is very ugly, and if you didn't know Debian you would feel that you are installing an ancient operating system. It works very nicely and its pretty straight forward but I think they should improve its looks before the final release.
During the installation Debian Installer detected my network and informed me that it does not have drivers for my Realtek wireless adapter but since I was installing from DVD the installation continued without network connection. After the installation when I logged on to Debian desktop my first impression was, wow!
Debian Wheezy uses Gnome 3 and it looks very pretty. Prettier than Ubuntu and if you are like me and like simpler interfaces then you would say that it is prettier than Windows 8 too. Debian also has a dasher but it is hidden under Activities button which is like Start button in Windows. Unlike Ubuntu's dasher, Gnome3 gets out of the way and lets you do whatever you want. There is no link to some cloud based service and there are no unwanted search results in dasher for paid apps. Debian does not want to use your desktop to sell anything. So when you search for an app it shows you the app you are looking for which makes it faster than Ubuntu and Windows 8.
Another great thing about Debian is that it comes with more free apps pre-installed than Ubuntu or Windows8. And since Linux apps are usually smaller in size and less resource incentive, these apps don't take much space and work out of the box. There is Gimp and Inkscape both preinstalled in Debian Wheezy.
The only apps I downloaded were Google Chrome and VLC media player. Google Chrome is based on open source software but it is not free software (free as in freedom). So it can not be included into Debian, same goes for Firefox which imposes trademark restrictions and hence is not included into Debian. Debian comes with IceWeasel web browser which is based on Firefox but compliant with GNU philosophy.
Overall, I would say that Debian outshines Ubuntu by functionality, openness and stability but thats just my opinion. I will be using Windows 8 and Debian for the time being. I will keep an eye on Ubuntu but I highly doubt that Ubuntu will ever get better again. It will keep getting shinier and glossy but it does not feel free to me any more.
Trying Debian Lenny
Debian's latest stable release Lenny arrived on Valentine's day. Previously, I installed Debian using the net-install CD. This time Debian has made it easier, now you can download a single CD and install a fully functional Debian GNU linux with Gnome Desktop Environment. This CD or DVD is the first CD or DVD in the set. Debian Lenny is very easy to install in both text mode or a Graphical installer. The disk partition portion of the graphical installer was a little difficult for me to get familiar with but after a little difficulty I finally got it working. After that installation went smooth, it automatically detected all hardware and Internet settings and I logged into the same old Gnome desktop.
But the system you log on after the installation is very basic. It has two web browsers Epiphany and IceWeasel but it does not have Synaptic package manager. I am comfortable using apt but I prefer synaptic because I am lazy. This single CD install method does not install Open Office and Gimp. I decided to download the software I needed. But when I tried to install them from root terminal I got errors. After some troubleshooting I found that Lenny's graphical installer installs packages not from the latest stable release but from debian-volatile. What is Volatile?
Some packages aim at fast moving targets, such as spam filtering and virus scanning, and even when using updated data patterns, they do not really work for the full time of a stable release. The main goal of volatile is allowing system administrators to update their systems in a nice, consistent way, without getting the drawbacks of using unstable, even without getting the drawbacks for the selected packages. So debian-volatile will only contain changes to stable programs that are necessary to keep them functional.
After changing the sources.list I installed Synaptic package manager and after that I will make a list of software I need to install. I will be downloading VLC media player, Urdu fonts, Pidgin, Gimp and Open Office. I am also thinking about installing Firefox but I am not too sure about it. I feel that Firefox is no more a lightweight web browser. It is heavy, slow and does not match the Desktop environment. I am forcing myself to like Epiphany web browser.
If you are an Ubuntu user trying Lenny, then remember that Debian uses a package called locales for dealing with National or native language support. If you did not add your language during the installation then you can run
dpkg-reconfigure locales from root terminal to reconfigure locales.
If you are trying to write in Urdu language on Debian lenny and characters do not join correctly then you should replace the default Urdu keyboard layout 'pk' (found in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ ) with this one. I have filed a bug report for this error and hope it will get fixed.
I also tried LXDE on Debian and I am very excited about testing it on an old computer.
Bring Me Back To Freedom
Google Chrome arrived and I had to log on MS Windows to see how it works. I am so impressed that I don't really feel like going back to Ubuntu and use Firefox. I have installed Windows Vista, which has Aero theme. I use Chrome and the world is beautiful again.
Honestly, I don't like Microsoft Windows much. Previously I had trouble getting it configured for my internet, graphics and audio settings. It is just too much work with windows, I thought. But may be I was a little bit too biased towards freedom. I had this feeling that I am a software freedom fighter, I can not use Windows. But I am starting to think differently now.
If I use Windows I have Aero which looks 10 times better than Gnome with compiz and it has Google Chrome which is faster than Firefox and works like a charm.
These new things make me feel good. The graphics aren't ugly, I have the same visual effects on Ubuntu too but they don't look that good. Gnome's interface that I have loved so much, now looks childish and boring. The simplicity has gone to a point where it feels like an insult to the human intelligence.
The windows are too big they take a lot of screen space. The fonts are ugly. Definitely Ubuntu has better support for Urdu Language but Vista is not that bad either. Using Vista I can use the new VLC media player that uses QT and has good looking interface.
I tried searching the Gnome website to see if they have any plans to give me something thats more beautiful than Mac OS X, Vista and KDE4. But I don't think they have any plans to bring something modern and new for at least a few more decades. I can go for KDE4, and I did. I tried it with opensuse. But it crashed so often and after a week of trial I gave up. I tried KDE4 on ubuntu and the result was the same.
Developers at Gnome should think about improving their simplicity. Give me an intelligent user interface that is smarter than me. Give me better fonts. Don't fill my screen with thick windows, fat buttons, and king size Icons. The KDE folks if they read it, please make it available for Ubuntu and make rock solid. Every body hates to see the crash handler poping up now and then. and I want VLC with QT ASAP.
Please bring me back to the free world. Please bring something exciting and modern.
BTW, after finishing this post I am going to try KDE for windows and see how it works. It might be unstable like hell but I want to do try it anyways.
Note: I haven't completely switched to Windows yet. I am just jealous.
Video Collection Managers
I was looking for something to help me manage my movies collection. Ubuntu comes with many collection manager applications. In this post I will talk about three of them.
Predecessor of Gcfilms which is not developed any more. GCstar is not just a movie manager. Basically it is a collection manager to manage your movies, music, games, books, etc. It is a GTK/Perl application and blends well with in Ubuntu. It has many features that you would want from your personal collection manager and then a few more. For example:
- When you add a new item to your collection you can search and retrieve information about that item from the internet with just one click.
- You can import your collection data from other catalog or collection managers such as Alexander, DVD Profiler, Ant Video Manager, tellico, etc.
- GCstar also allows you to export your data in CSV, HTML, LATEX, SQL, .tar.gz, tellico and XML formats. I particularly loved the way it exports the in HTML format. The default templates are quite good and the page generated is good enough to be uploaded to a web server. See my sample list.
- You can locate the video file on your hard disk and play it.
Griffith is a simple media collection manager. It does not have as many features as GCstar but it is good enough to maintain a list of your collection. Just like GCstar it can fetch information from the internet, retrieve thumbnail posters from the web. Griffith can export the collection in PDF, HTML, iPOD, CSV and XML formats. I didn't like the PDF it generated which was just a simple list with the title of the movies. I liked the HTML page it generated which had the links to the imdb pages for the movies, poster thumbnails and a few other details. See my sample list
There were a few little things that I didn't like about Griffith. First of all Griffith does not have a play button. Which means if I have my collection of movies saved on my hard disk there is no way I can play the movie from inside the Griffith. Secondly, I can not understand how to add my own tags to the movies.
Tellico is a collection manager for KDE. It has all the features of GCstar and then some more. It can be used to manage your collections of books, games, movies, coins, stamps, wine, files, etc. You can import GCstar and Griffith data into tellico. You can also import and export data in various other formats (See my tellico sample list). Tellico beats GCstar with the "Search and Add" option. Using this option you can search the web for an item, fetch the information, add it, and then keep searching for other items to be added. This makes adding items to tellico faster than GCstar.
Definitely Tellico wins with a clear margin for its intutive approach to manage, display, import, export, search, retrieve and manipulate data. But since I use Ubuntu with Gnome Desktop environment I would stick to GCstar.
Whats New in Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron (Beta)
Today I downloaded and installed Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron Beta version. There are several new things in this upcoming Ubuntu version. First of all it is a long term support version, which means that if you install it you will receive support and updates for up to three years and that will be totally free and no Genuine Advantage icon would ever bother you.
Ubuntu is not just free, it is better too. As I mentioned in my earlier post that Windows XP and Vista fail to detect my hardware during a default installation. Ubuntu detects and configures all my hardware in the default installation. With Ubuntu Feisty I wasn't able to use amazing visual effects. I had to apply a hack to do that and even then the effects were not at all plea sent. But now, Ubuntu Hardy Heron takes full advantage of my hardware and compiz effects are enabled by default and they work fantastic.
This new version of Ubuntu has Firefox 3 Beta 4 installed as default web browser. This was my first time trying Firefox 3. I didn't like the way it suggests URI's as I type something in the address bar and I can not install Google's browser sync plugin, I hope there is a work around to get it working. But for the first time Firefox looked like a well integrated part of Ubuntu.
There is a new tool called "Hardware Testing" accessible from Applications > System Tools. This little wizard attempts to detect your hardware, prepares a report and you can then send this report with your launchpad email address. I think it is a great way to collect information about user hardware and help them troubleshoot common problems.
Hardy Heron also has a new tool to manage "Passwords and Encryption Keys". Which helps you create and manage your PGP and SSH keys, cache your pass phrases and encrypt/decrypt your clipboard content.
The Language support for Urdu remains like it was in previous version. I had to go through a well practised procedure to enable my computer for Urdu. It is quite easy for me to do that but for new Ubuntu users it is still difficult. I wish that Ubuntu makes ttf-Nafess (already available in the main repository) installed by default and the Urdu/Pakistan keyboard layout should be replaced by this one. The default Ubuntu Urdu/Pakistan keyboard layout has its keys placed differently and new users find it difficult to use and eventually they replace it with the one I mentioned above.
The release notes mentioned Inkscape, which made me and others believe that it would be installed by default. But it is not installed by default in this beta version. It may be available by default in the final release. The final stable version will be available in April 2008.
Overall I am very pleased with Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron Beta, I used Dapper for a very long time and I loved it. I hope that Hardy will be even better than the Dapper and will help me convert more people to freedom.

Installing Debian From Ubuntu or any other GNU/Linux
This post is about how to install Debian GNU Linux from your hard disk, with the help of your Ubuntu GNU Linux operating system and without using CDrom, floppy, or any other removable media.
I learned that when I was trying to install Debian and had no other way to run the installation media. My DVDrom was broke, USB boot didn't work and I had no other computer to run a network install. My only option was to install Debian from Ubuntu. This installation method is called hard disk install.
Instructions to perform a hard disk install are available on the official Debian Installer Manual (Debian Installer Manual's instructions are not Ubuntu specific but it does not matter). I would just try to make it a little more simpler. Please note that there are many other ways to do this, it will be a good idea to review other methods before trying this one.
Important: Please backup all your data before trying this method.
In this example we are trying to install Debian 7 aka Wheezy also known as Debian 7 on amd64 architecture. If you want to install a different architecture, like i386 then you need to browse the same debian repository to find these files for i386. Also note, that even though we are installing Debian Wheezy, which is the current stable release, you can install debian testing or even Debian Lenny (previous version of Debian) using the same method.
So for Debian Wheezy on 64bit computers (most modern notebooks and desktop computers are 64bit. If your machine has multi core processor then it is 64bit, if you are unsure then try i386), You need to download:
The first two files will load the debian installer, and the third file is a CD image or installation media which will install rest of the packages during the installation. Place these three files in /boot/newinstall directory.
Preparing Boot Loader – Grub2
If you are installing from Ubuntu 9.10 or later versions, then you have Grub 2 installed as the default boot loader. Edit grub.cfg file located in /boot/grub/. In grub.cfg file you will find a menuentry for your current linux distro. below this entry you will find a line
set root=(hd0,msdos1) or something similar. You need to have that line in the menu entry you are going to paste for new install. Lets add a new menu entry to grub to boot Debian installer from it.
menuentry 'New Install' {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,msdos1)'
linux /boot/newinstall/vmlinuz
initrd /boot/newinstall/initrd.gz
Preparing Boot Loader – Grub1 or Grub Legacy
Now If you have Grub1 installed on your other operating system then open Grub menu.lst located at /boot/grub/menu.lst with your favorite text editor.
Scroll down until you see something like this:
title Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=3599efe8-de32-4c9f-aed1-33c1c61d4bdf ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic
Note the root (hd0,6) line this is the partition where your Ubuntu is installed. It could be different for you depending your partition location. And now, we are going to boot Debian Installer from here. Add the following lines to your Grub menu.lst file.
title New Install
kernel (hd0,6)/boot/newinstall/vmlinuz
initrd (hd0,6)/boot/newinstall/initrd.gz
Now save the file and reboot your computer and you will see Grub showing you "New Install" as an option in the menu. Select it to boot Debian Installer and install it.
There is a similar way to install Ubuntu from a GNU/Linux based operating system. You can also Install Ubuntu, Debian and many other Linux distributions from Windows or anyother operating system by using UNetbootin. To be very honest, I am kind of surprised to find out so many ways to install free open source operating systems on my computer.
Ubuntu Linux: Subtitles, Video Editing and DVD Authoring
Translating movie subtitles is my new hobby. I had no previous knowledge of what subtitles are, how they are embedded in a DVD movie, how to rip them off, how to create new subtitles, and then finally how to prepare a DVD with translated subtitles that could be played on most popular software, hardware and standalone DVD players. I found out that it was not an easy job to embed UTF-8 encoded text on DVD as a separate subtitle stream. So I decided to hardsub my movie, which means that users will not have the option to turn off the Urdu subtitles.
First I needed to rip the DVD to my hard disk and there are some very good tools available for Ubuntu Linux that work great. (Warning: As always, check the relevant copyright laws for your country regarding the backup of DVDs). I used dvd::rip which rips and transcodes the files into avi format. It also provides the option to rip the subtitles separately, but since most DVD movies has subtitles embedded in streams with Pictures it was basically useless for me. However there are other tools that rip the subtitles and also help you save them as text using OCR.
There are many tools available for Ubuntu/Linux to create or translate subtitles in many different formats. I needed to figure out a Subtitle format that supports utf-8. Then I needed to find a software that allows me to embed the subtitles on the Video without any significant quality loss. After trying Subtitle Editor, Gnome Subtitles, Gaupol and Ksubtitle; I finally settled on Subtitle Editor. I had lots of trouble to use the preview features but some how I worked my out. I started working on subtitles and was very disappointed to find out that the preview didn't display Urdu characters perfectly. Even though the subtitle format I was using had formatting and stylizing support too.
I decided to work on my subtitles without previewing them but even then I need to know if I have the tools available that would demux my subtitles on the video. Luckily we have a very nice dvdauthor tool available. It comes with a tool called Spumux. I generated a movie with my sample translated subtitles and the results were very bad. The quality of video was outstanding but Spumux didn't displayed Urdu Characters correctly. May be, it was all my fault, may be I forgot something. But even after hours of checking through subtitles, xml file (required to use with spumux to tell it about the job) and creating many clips; I wasn't able to get my text right.
I was disappointed and had to log on to Windows XP to see if there are any open source software for windows that do what I wanted to do. While there, I opened Windows Movie Maker, playing little with it I realized that I can add Subtitles with Windows Movie Maker. Windows Movie Maker not only did the subtitles but it also displayed them beautifully on the screen. I saved the clip and it was brilliant. But then it occured to me that if Windows Movie Maker can do this then there must be some alternate to it for Ubuntu Linux.
So lets see what we got in Linux to do the job. For video editing I tried Kino, Cinelera, and LiVES. To be very honest, it was a really very frustrating experience for me to figure out how these tools work. Kino is probably the most user friendly of all three but still Kino is a difficult thing to learn and you definitely can not work with it if you are working on an entire movie. It is good for movies you capture using your mobile phone, cam corder or other such devices. Even if I saved my movies in several small clips, it was difficult to navigate around my storyboard and add subtitles on a precise location. I wouldn't spend time telling you about how it went with Cinelera or Lives. They both have horrible user interfaces and they are bundled with features that were completely useless for me.
In short I failed to add subtitles to my videos using Ubuntu Linux. I am now doing it on MS Windows XP, using Aegisub
and some other little open source or free applications. Aegisub is available for Linux but I was not able to install it on my Ubuntu 7.10 due to unmatched dependencies. I feel that the options for video editing are not very good for Ubuntu/Linux users. The tools we have are not user-friendly, advanced and there is not much to choose from.
Even if I failed to do my work with these tools but it does not mean that they are useless for every one else too. In fact some of them are quite sophisticated and as it is with most open source applications, they give you a lot more control than proprietary solutions. What we need to do is to concentrate more on improving them. We need to use these software, file bug reports, submit feature requests and help each other using these tools. We need to appreciate all those who are working on these projects (Guys if you are reading this, your tools didn't help me. But thank you anyways). May be the community should organize some events where we gather around to focus on these tools and improve them.

Moroccan tourism industry records 43 percent fall in January
Morocco's tourism industry recorded a 43 percent revenue drop in January 2002. Receipts for the month totaled 1.19 billion Moroccan dirhams ($102 million), down from Dh2.1 billion in the corresponding period the previous year, the government's Office des Changes disclosed.
In a bid to attract 10 million tourists annually by decade's-end, the Moroccan government allocated Dh200 million towards a new promotion campaign targeting the Arab and European travel markets.
The North African country recorded a 28 percent rise in tourism revenues throughout 2001, amounting to Dh27.8 billion. The Moroccan tourism industry currently employs over half a million people, serving some 2.4 million tourists arriving in the country annually. — (menareport.com)

DVD(CD)ROM tray Open/Close Issue
Hello fellow W7 Beta users...I have discovered that this side gadget causes both my Samsung & Sony optical drives to function improperly.
By way of not reading the disks while this side gadget is activated. Through some testing I discovered that this was in fact the cause.
While one must physically put a disk in and take it out of a drive it is still a swell idea to have the added extra feature of an windows application to open & close the drive tray.
Just this gadget was intended for vista originally therefore requires some bug extirpation.

Unanswered: Unmatched Rows moved to another table
Hi guys,
I am sure I am making this harder than it has to be. I need to take two tables with identical fields and bump them against each other and have the results dump out into another table. I found the below SQL code and it comes up and gives me a message that the two tables do not match but I the rows that do not match to go into another table. In my example I only have one field but I need it to compare all fields. Even if it is just the row from the first table.
Any help you can give would be appreciated. THANKS!
SELECT MIN(TableName) AS TableName, ID, COL1 FROM ( SELECT 'CustProduction' as TableName, A.PRCHSR_SHRT_NM FROM CustProduction A UNION ALL SELECT 'Data_Entry_Master' as TableName, B.PurcSN FROM Data_Entry_Master B ) tmp GROUP BY ID, Col1, COL2, COL3 HAVING COUNT(*) = 1 ORDER BY ID

WARREN, MI – A second chance in the U.S. for a rear-drive sedan like the defunct Pontiac G8? Maybe not near-term, but General Motors Co.'s global-engineering chief isn't ruling out a U.S. return of a new-and-improved GM Holden Ltd.-developed Zeta platform down the road. GM once had grand plans for the Zeta in North America, where it was expected to be used for a stable of domestically built rear-drive, full-size cars from Chevrolet to Buick.

This is the first and only draft of this article, so please forgive any typos and punctuation errors...
As I have posted in a previous entry, ABS-CBN's drama-documentary show featured a glimpse of the "Coconuter" story. Following the airing of the story nation-wide and all over the world, it brought about a significant increase in site traffic. Although I was not paid for the feature, I am thankful that ABS-CBN's Nagmamahal Kapamilya had the courage and follow-through to shoot and air the feature. In addition to the increase in site traffic was also a significant increase in e-mails and entry comments. Reading all these messages (and I do read them all), I noticed the different types of people who had written to me.
The majority of people who e-mailed or commented mentioned that they have been inspired in some way or another, and I am quite happy to hear that I have affected a number of lives in a positive manner. And there are those who say I am crazy, while other claim that I am a fool. Some of them don't know what to think of the subject and are a little confused and also incredulous. And then there are some that make sharp criticisms and biting statements towards me, thinking they understand it all.
There exists a number of people in the world and quite particularly here in the Philippines that tend to act negatively or degradingly in response to an awareness or witnessing that someone else has accomplished or attained something of value. The bad feelings that one harbors because someone else has something that is of value to them that they themself were unable to obtain or because someone has figuratively climbed higher up the social ladder, is simply known as jealousy. Jealousy, in turn, can build into something more destructive in some people when they react degradingly towards the object of their jealousy. This negative reaction can be stated, in other words, as people who try to bring you down. It is also known as crab mentality. The metaphor "crab mentality" refers to "a pot of crabs in which one tries to escape over the side, but is relentlessly pulled down by the others in the pot," and can best be described by the phrase "if I can't have it, neither can you." Essentially, due to their jealousy, these people would like to bring you back down to their level or even lower, if possible. Of the criticisms, the recurring ones include the following: that I am poisoning the minds of people, that I'm a fake, that I'm a scammer, and that I'm irresponsible, selfish, and immature.
Some say that I am poisoning the minds of the people, particularly the youth. Poisoning minds was never one of my goals in life, and I don't think it ever will be. And if what I write is poison, please, stop reading. This applies also to anyone who has a problem with me or my material--just stop reading the blog. And please, don't waste time writing me hate mail.
There are also some who have doubts about my identity and the credibility of my stated background (like the resume). Well, if the research and background investigation that ABS-CBN, GMA-7, and the Philippine Daily Inquirer performed verifying records from the U.S. was not enough, then that's unfortunate for such skeptics. However, it is ironic that these same people who doubt my identity and credibility remain anonymous or provide a false identity when messaging me despite for my request for their real name.
Another accusation, that has particularly been circulating in online forums, is that I am a scammer. If I'm a scammer, then churches, priests, and politicians must be also. I have never swindled anyone, and I have never had any intent of fooling and stealing from people. If the "Make a Donation" button by PayPal is what you call a scamming technique, then good luck in suing PayPal and swaying the countless of other website owners who have that same "Make a Donation" PayPal button into taking theirs off. If the posting of my Metrobank account number is appalling, then please note that I posted that for all the Filipinos who have been requesting a bank account number from me because of their inability to use PayPal. If the fact that I've posted a way to donate to me is what's upsetting you, then please don't view it as donation but as funding for the survival of the Coconuter site. View it as funding for the time and effort spent on the articles, photography, travel, e-mails/questions/requests, and management of the site. And if you're jealous of what I may be receiving, don't be, as only few people have donated after the Nagmamahal Kapamilya airing. Most people either pretend to donate or make promises of helping but are actually just exhibiting hypocrisy as they never follow through.
Everyone has the freedom to donate/fund the Coconuter site or not, just as you do for donations/funding given to the church, priests, and politicians. But if you choose to donate or fund, please label it. Label whether it is a gift, support for the site, a trade, or a business transaction. I say this because I will be discussing ways later in the article on how the "Coconuter" site can progress via business ventures and utilization of my skills. I also mention this labelling of funds because of something called "utang na loob" (literally, debt of the inside) or debt of gratitude. If you label the funds, then the possible misinterpretation of what the funding is for can be avoided. This way, I will know what funding received requires something in return, and I can decide whether to accept or refuse. I say this because it is difficult to deal with after-the-fact if someone provides funding that is not labelled and requires something in return in the future. It's like placing an "utang na loob" on me that I was not even aware of to begin with. It is better to state beforehand the details of a transaction so both parties are aware and can have the opportunity to decide whether to accept or reject. Thus, an undefined "utang na loob" can be avoided. This can also be extended into another undesirable situation. Do not provide me with unlabelled funding or even "gifts" if you plan to have a business transaction in the future. Even if obliged to disregard the "gifts," it can still create a potential "utang na loob." Providing "gifts" can also skew the playing field. A "gift" can cause a potential "humbling and refraining" effect on the recipient, which places limitations on the recipient from the unequal status levels, and thus creating a poorly performing business environment.
Speaking of jealous people making degrading and defaming statements and criticisms, I recently read an article online with just that towards the Filipino boxing champion, Manny Pacqiuao. The article basically referred to Manny Pacquiao as a "monkey" that the "idiot-branded" Filipinos worship for fighting in a no-good sport because it only involves "pure savagery." I just wanted to share this as another example of crab mentality and jealousy in action as the object of jealousy is degraded and defamed in an attempt to bring down that object of jealousy.
I am glad I was not brought up this way. I would like to thank my parents for that, for their genes and actual upbringing. I was taught to have good morals, be respectful, and humble, among other things that make up a decent character. I don't degrade and defame. I may address the truth about certain trends or events that I have discontent towards, but I will not specifically put down someone in particular. As I said, genes and parents' upbringing have a lot to do with one's character and behavior. Apart from that, the environment in which the child was brought up also has an influence on the resulting character. I've observed the environment's influence when I taught children in the U.S., including Filipino children. I noticed that Filipino children who were brought up during their younger years in the Philippines form a more decent character and disciplined behavior later on in life.
It was a great victory, by the way, for Manny and the Philippines. Not to take away from Manny's victory (which I was happy for), I did feel some sympathy for Erik Morales though as I know he trained hard as well. But even more awesome than the fight was the phenomenon it created for the Philippines nationwide and for Filipinos all around the world where daily life was put on pause just to watch the fight. And Manny seems to be a good guy. I smiled when I saw him on television saying that he prays for everyone before a fight, including Morales. I believe Manny and Morales even had dinner together after the fight as well.
Going back to criticisms towards me, some also say that I am lazy, a leech, and a burdent to society. But before addressing these, I wouldl ike to talk about welfare recipients and "stand-bys." Welfare in the U.S. was meant to be a subsidy for those handicapped in some manner and are physically unable to perform work. Unfortunately today, it seems that the system is being abused. Foodstamps and other welfare subsidies are being assigned to many who are very capable of performing work. This particular example is what I call as laziness, or a leech or burden to society. "Stand-bys" in the Philippines, on the other hand, area different story. My personal opinion is that "stand-bys" are not necessarily lazy nor are they necessarily jobless because of a lack of jobs. For the most part, in economic terms, I think they choose to be jobless and sustain on their own not because of a lack of jobs but because of a lack of sufficiently paying jobs that satisfies their personal opportunity cost. In other words, giving up time or another resource to perform such low paying jobs is a cost that is too high. There are plenty of jobs available all around the Filipinos, they're just not necessarily the jobs that satisfy their opportunity cost. I see nothing wrong with this as it is an efficiency issue and these "stand-bys" have their own freedom of choice. They may go abroad to meet their opportunity cost level or stay in the Philippines and self-sustain while waiting for the job they would prefer. This "stand-by" situation is similar to mine. I am not leeching off of society as in the welfare system situation in the U.S. I am also not lazy. I have no problem in performing tasks of physical labor. What is valued more than something else will vary among people and countries when decisions are made about how to allocate resources. And these resources of worth can vary among us, whether it'd be time, our health, our effort and energy, etc. Each of us have our own capacities of physical and mental stress, opportunity cost level, preference of what work we can efficiently perform, and freedom of choice. Thus far, I feel a passion towards the scope and focus of the "Coconuter" site, which is why I would like to continue putting work into it regardless if it gets ample funding or not. However, certain factors may affect this progression, which I will elaborate on further later in this article.
Moreover, reagarding readers' comments (but this time praise instead of criticism), some have pointed out that they see some similiarties with Henry David Thoreau's "Walden," Jose Riza's "Noli Me Tangere," and Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot," which are about (but not completely about) simple living & critique of the modern civilization, independence and identity, and existentialism, respectively. Some have even compared the journey to Buddha's. I just wanted to say thank you for the comparisons and that I am quite flattered.
I also would like to say that despite the Filipino flavor of the site, I would like to take the focus of the "Coconuter" blog internationally. I believe it has universal meaning and can apply to anyone worldwide. Therefore, more international exposure (and also more national exposure here) will be an additional goal of mine if anyone would like to help out. Acts like mention of the site through e-mails, forums, chat, sites, blogs, shirts, signs, magazines, school/college journals, newspapers, and other media really help.
With that said, I would like to briefly address the issue in the Middle East. I read a few weeks ago that Saddam Hussein was convicted of crimes against humanity by the Iraqi Special Tribunal and was sentenced to death by hanging. Well, let me think about how I can comment logically about this. From my knowledge, I note that Saddam Hussein was president of Iraq and ran an authoritarian government for almost two and a half decades. He "repressed movements that it deemed threatening, particularly those of ethnic or religious groups that sought independence or autonomy." I do believe the same is being done in Mindanao towards "threatening groups seeking independence autonomy." And then there was Hussein's order for execution of 148 people because of their attempt to kill him. There was the Gulf War, where he was popular among Arabs and not so much with Israel and the U.S. I am aware that the reason for this division in the Arab world was for Hussein's proposal to withdraw from Kuwait should Israel give back part of their occupied land to Palestine. This brought highlight on the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. Hussein was stubborn and did not follow what former President George Bush Sr. ordered, so former President Bush Sr. sent in the missiles. Then the 9/11 attacks occurred, which brought more conflict in the Middle East and provided more incentive for U.S. to get involved in the area. With intelligence reports of WMD's (weapons of mass destruction) in Iraq, President Bush Jr. used this as reason to invade Iraq. That and possibly also because Hussein was hard-nosed to his father during the Gulf War, which maybe the actual initial incentive and the intelligence reports as reason for Congress and the American populace to agree. Which, may have been quite easy to do during that time because statistics reveal a significant amount of Jews in Congress and American media. After the fact, President Bush Jr. was proved wrong and no WMD's were found in Iraq. So this essentially means that the U.S. invaded, disrupted, and basically shattered a nation because of imaginary WMD's (but of course it's ok if the U.S. mass produces such WMD's and no one complains). Hussein was captured and was put on trial for the killings of 148 people because of their attempt to kill him, because they can no longer put him on trial for WMD's. They (the Iraqi Special Tribunal, which is heavily influenced by the U.S.) sentenced him to death. What future effect will this have in the Middle East, with Saddam Hussein being viewed as a hero to anti-U.S. Arab nations? Probably not a good effect. Is it ok for a country (the U.S.) to invade another country based on a whim or the justification that the U.S. used? And they were wrong, why are there no repercussions for the destruction they caused? Onto the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. It's basically a "who was first" issue. Well, based on historical records, the first recordings show Palestinians as being first in the land that is known as Israel today. But with a whole lot of antisemitism (expelling Jews) going on throughout the world (I wonder why Jews have always been expelled all throughout history... no, I really do wonder... it's interesting), the Jews migrated to what is now known as Israel. To shorten the story, with the help of the U.S., Israel basically took all of Palestine's land away from them and still have no intention of giving any back. Apparently, they don't want to co-exist. Well, this "who was first" issue has been around for a very long time. Europeans taking of America from the Native Indians is a prime example. And there's no talk of giving back the U.S. to the Indians. Perhaps Israel will create reservations for Palestinians, since they seem to follow the U.S. quite well. If you really get down to it, I'm sure there was a group of people before the Native Indians, and also a group of people before the Palestinians. But then again, there was enough land to go around for everyone back then. While today, with the ever-increasing human population, it seems that the fight for land is inevitable in order to not be driven out. So, I really don't know. I'm not a part of the United Nations Council, but perhaps, based on my knowledge and logic, the best and most feasible resolution would be for Palestinians and Israelis to make an even split of the modern day land of Isreal. But how is this possible with the significant presence of Jews in the U.S. Congress and media, and the U.S. dominating influence in the United Nations' decisions. But peace should always be sought, and the Earth is everyone's land and everyone has the right to exist on this planet.
So what will be the fate of "Coconuter?" I am torn between my responsibilities as a son, a father, and a husband. The "Coconuter" objective cannot continue with this problem. I hope and dream that a solution can be found to make everyone happy. They say money cannot solve everything, but in this case, it can help quite a lot if not solve the problem entirely. There is a saying I'm sure you all have heard, "Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish, you feed him for a lifetime." With that said, I would like to offer and utilize my skills and talents for making a profit. The fate of "Coconuter" is on the line. My time is running out.

Rabbi Yoel Schoenfeld, Rabbi of the Young Israel of Kew Garden Hills in Queens, New York, told Arutz Sheva that the decision Wednesday by the U.S. Supreme Court striking down key parts of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), paving the way for greater acceptance of gay marriage, was a major step backwards for humanity that goes all the back to the Biblical Bila'am, whose donkey spoke to him.
(Excerpt) Read more at israelnationalnews.com ...
What baffles me is the argument. 87 congress members and a president are racist because sodomizers have rights ?
The Chief Justice can set the rule of the the arguments of merit to the case before the court. Its done every day its known as the judge wont allow. Because the administration now favors gay marriage I wouldnt expect what could be called a healthy defence from them. Sodomy wasnt the issue . The issue was protecting the integrity and intention of a basic unit of society through a mechanisim known as marriage to encourage familys.
What should we expect from a political party which itself has gone through a marriage with one world socialist radicals known to many as communists who cant even use the word God. Theyve hyphenated into Demo-Coms.
Jack asses speak to the American sheeple every day through the mainstream media. So do Jennys.
Thank you, Rabbi, for your wisdom and guidance which will be summarily ignored by the vast majority of our countrymen.
Mazel Tov.
The world pushed by the MSM is upside down for the 3% gays and their sympathizers, but the majority of Americans are God-fearing, normal people.
So now many people may seek Shalom, seeing what Shalom is NOT. There is always an upside. :)
Collectivists/Leftist always seem to see the world in a backwards and upside down manner.
Seeking normality when the donkey speaks is the playground of children, animation artists and dead societies.
Thirteen countries (Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark,[nb 1] France, Iceland, the Netherlands,[nb 2] Norway, Portugal, Spain, South Africa, Sweden) allow same-sex couples to marry nationwide, while New Zealand[nb 3] and Uruguay will allow it from August 2013. Same-sex marriages are also performed in parts of the United States and Mexico. Jurisdictions that do not perform same-sex marriage but recognize it when performed elsewhere include Israel, Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten, Mexico and the United States(By federal law only).[15] Australia recognizes same-sex marriages only if one partner has had gender reassignment therapy.[16]
Various faith communities around the world support allowing same-sex couples to marry or conduct same-sex marriage ceremonies; for example: Quakers, U.S. Episcopalians, the Metropolitan Community Church, the United Church of Christ, the United Church of Canada, Buddhism in Australia, Reform and Conservative Jews, Wiccans, Druids, Unitarian Universalists, and Native American religions with a two-spirit tradition, as well as various progressive and modern Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, and Jewish groups and various minor religions and other denominations.
Upside down world, yes, but words of great comfort at the end: maybe this is what we have to go through before the coming in glory of the Messiah.
How did this Rabbi vote in 08 and 12 ??
Probably for Netanyahu.
I am sure 90% of his Temple's members voted for Obama.
20 Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
and clever in their own sight.
Yes- we should feel sorry for those lost souls, they are enslaved to the Chaos monster.
The Lord offers order, they are stuck in disorder.
Their lives are a dark and empty abyss, and full of conflict, which steals their peace and rest.
They could kill off everything of order and God's civility, and they would still be miserable.
It doesn't really matter how they voted at this point, because God is in charge. We are always reminded that we too once walked in darkness, and to never be unwelcoming to those who choose the light.
This is not the time to draw boundaries and judge people for their past mistakes .
Who knows, perhaps Obama himself, will see the light and repent.
The Lord can do it, if he chooses to turn Obama's heart. We should unite in prayer for our country, not chase people away.
Next big move for family destruction disguised as equality is multi-partner marriage after all gay marriage is based on the now outmoded Male/Female model (couple) thats now arbitrary and discriminatory! We mustnt be twoist (only two can marry? Why?). We are no longer One Nation Under God we are splintered nation under whatever godless group shouts the loudest! Old Serpent is estatic!
You should get your facts straight before you make blanket statements about "Temples".
This is an Orthodox Rabbi, 60+ percent who voted for Romney.
Orthodox Jews are consistently politically conservative, are religiously observant, and share common values with Christians. Many of them are in fact long time freepers. Reform Jews are what you may be thinking of, 60+ percent who voted for Obama. They do not keep any of the Jewish Laws in their daily life.
Think before you have knee-jerk reactions about all "Jews". There are VERY clear distinctions.

Another rumor about UBS...to close all small
7 RepliesJump to last post
market offices. Anybody hear anything on this? Only going to keep large offices in large cities with large producers only.
Whats a large office in a Large city?
They just gave 100's of guys who were large producers who are now medium producers millions to come over. Your story is absurd.
Define a small market...
I live in one. These freaking slaughter houses I mean wire houses only want to be in the top 100 metro areas with a floor on broker production of 500k and account size of $250k. See ML's "focus on growth". Look at what SB just did in December...cut 40 offices in "small markets". ML has been quietly eliminating offices in small markets for years. I was in one. Find out when your office lease is up. That's when they find a reason to "consolidate". If you are not in one of these top 100 national markets and you work for a wire, and your production is less than 500k...look out.
This last "comp plan" for both ML and SB put guys in the penalty box for producing below $400k. They can get away with this becasue the competition is disappearing. MS buys SB, or something, and think about how many 10 broker offices of both companies there are in cities of 150k population. In 8 months, there will be one 10 broker office in this city. Wells buys Wach, ML turns into BAC and why does UBS need to keep an office in a 150k population town? No one else is there and their now overflowing office(due to the recent inlfow of ML wags who want a check) on the 12th floor in the city is staffed with a whole bunch of guys doing 500k. Why waste your time in an office of 8 guys in 150k town...
There is going to be an opportunity for the smaller boutique type firm. Look at these smaller regional banks are now morphing their b/d into "wealth management" firms as they hire these guys(managing directors, etc) from the wire's that were recently whacked.
I can hear Bob Dylan singing "oh, the time's they are a changing..."
There is going to be an opportunity for the smaller boutique type firm.
I agree and I think Jones will benefit from this. The wirehouses are essentially kicking out all but the biggest producers with the biggest clients (so they can steal the accounts of everyone they fire/starve out of the business). Jones has one heck of a headstart in marketing in a small market/personal approach to clients ML turns their nose up at.
The business is no longer set up for small producers. They'll be the guys in the polo shirts in your local branch saying "Hi Mr. Smith, thanks for your deposit. Would you like a mutual fund with that?"
It seems to me, small offices aren't necessary when most everything can/will eventually be handled at your local bank branch.
Besides, firms would do better to follow Thain's model and spend lavishly on sweeter offices - at least clients will feel pampered and perhaps less annoyed at having to fill out all the paperwork to transfer everything.

These looters are using the money extorted from the producers though the confiscatory taxation of the Obama regime. Thrifty, hard-working Conservatives are getting the shaft yet again by these minority groups gaming the system. It's well past time for the Tea Party Rebellion to rise up and take America back.
If I could avoid income, withholding and FICA taxes I too would have more money to spend.
There is something rather strange here. How can the Latinos have such a massive purchasing power when the bulk of them are impoverished illegal immigrants? Is this so called purchasing power coming from Uncle Sam? Granted their purchasing power is growing but not to the tune of the astronomical figure cited.
There is something rather strange here. How can the Latinos have such a massive purchasing power when the bulk of them are impoverished illegal immigrants? Is this so called purchasing power coming from Uncle Sam? Granted their purchasing power is growing but not to the tune of the astronomical figure cited. There appears to be a lot missing [ like what is the source of their income ] from this report.
It must be like losing a war and being adsorbed by the conquerors as they erase your nation, and replace it with theirs.
Latinos are spending faster because they originated from high-inflation economy states. If you aren't fast to change your money for goods you are a big loser in Latin America, Africa, some parts of Eastern Europe and Asia. A new car today is a fridge today and a pack of skittles tomorrow. It is cultural habit and they can't get rid of it in a couple generations.
Which is why nothing is done about immigration. The powers that be prefer pliable customers, not responsible ones.
Welfare is not a savings plan it is meant to be spent.
The task of the conservative is to find a leader or leaders who can convince the white haters, looters and just plain shiftless that Madison is preferable to Marx
when you're working off the books, it's amazing how much extra spending money you have...
I was at Autozone the other day and there were 5 Hispanic "shoppers". One was shoplifting the very moment my attention was drawn to the one at the counter when the clerk said, "How are you today, wow, you are here several times every day", and guy asked the clerk a question. The guy shoplifting disappeared from my view quickly but then I realized that there were 5 of them together as they all jumped into the old car out front. I told the clerk and he said I was mistaken. Oh well, I like O Rielly's better anyway.
Of course they're spending more. But it's not their money. It's our money, laundered through Washington. I'd spend more, too, if Uncle Sugar were giving it to me. Other People's Money.
General Mills discovered you many years ago. I was at a local grocery store one day. in the corner at the entrance were some well known cereal GE brands in Spanish on the box priced much lower than the ones in English. They were the same cereals. So it's not like one day they magically discovered you.
How can they afford it let me count the ways
A) If getting fake documents is so easy why not get several?
B) Work had off the books and then apply for every social program you can find, since your reported income is so low.
C) Have several Bambinos each one increases your take from Uncle Sam
D) Make sure you only speak Spanish at the hand out office so you will be assisted by one of your own
It would seem the old saying is right the streets are paved with gold in America. Is all you have to do is apply for it. Maybe we conservatives should take lessons from them since they have perfected going Gault.
They can spend all they want. They'll NEVER outspend Barry and the 'RATS.
Some of the Hispanics we know are going through a phase with their family incomes up where they need the "best of everything" now. Neighborhood, vehicles, clothes, even choice of prestigious medical clinics. Well, they can afford it. One major problem is that they do ZERO saving for a rainy day. There's always unemployment and entitlements, but not to maintain the house and car payments they have now.
Must be nice to spend other peoples' money.

My Stuff// Pretty Perfume
OK, maybe something not so well known about me. I LOVE perfume. I'm also a seasonal perfume wearer, meaning I have certain scents for certain times of the year. I like doing that so that smell evokes that time of year and season. For example, my mom does this too, and she will only wear her Chanel #5 around Christmas time. So when ever I smell that stuff, whatever time of year it is, I think of Christmas, especially from my childhood.
I like Karma by Lush pretty much all year round, mainly because I use Karma Kream as my regular body lotion everyday, so it makes sense that I would wear this all year round. A signature scent if you will?
Daisy is for sure a springy one, it mean it's called Daisy. I've always loved this bottle too. That's another fun thing about collection fragrances, is the pretty bottles.
Colette by Tocca has become my new favorite ever. I consider it a summer scent, because I started wearing it last summer. I've already started wearing it, because it feels like summer, and I also LOVE it so much. It feels funny having to practice the will power for something as silly as wearing the wrong scent for the season, but in my head, it's a thing. I know how bonkers this sounds.
Amarige totally looks like an old lady perfume judging by the bottle but ohhhh man I love it so. It's my mom's fall scent and I copied her. When we are hanging out in the fall, there's just a cloud of Amarige around us like a cloud.
Another fall scent, because it's a witchy perfume from Salem, MA. It's only appropriate. I've had it for longer than I'd like to admit, but it doesn't have that expired smell yet. Probably the dark bottle keeps it nice and preserved.
Again, like mom, I also wear Chanel perfume around Christmas time. Mine is CoCo Mademoiselle.
And here are some bottles that I don't really wear, but keep them around because I like the way they look. This Betsey Johnson label is so freakin cute.
And this bottle is shaped like an apple, and it's adorable. I also love the colors.
My little collection my my dresser, Along with my necklaces. I re-purposed my old screen printing screen to hold them. I now used pre-burned screens for my shirts and totes in my shop, but I used to cut designs out with contact paper and print things that way. It was hard.
I digress. Hope you enjoyed this little peek into one of my (many) collections.

text: Just as an excercise to my own sys admin knowledge, I'll summarize my general knowledge and just ask if anyone has suggestions or differences in my understanding. Daemons (or services) can be manually manipulated in debian using /etc/init.d/<daemon> with the command start, stop, restart, etc.. This will only change what is currently running. If you reboot, whatever was configured for your runlevel will be started again. rcS.d/ is stuff started for every runlevel rcn.d/ lists runlevel specific daemons that are started at boot update-alternatives (or was it alternatives-update) is a admin tool for adding, removing daemons from various runlevels. To remove a daemon from starting at a given runlevel, i generally just delete the entry in the /etc/rcn.d directory. Are there any reasons for not doing that? I wish the update-alternatives would accept syntax like "update-alternatives +3 postres" to add postgres to runlevel 3. Maybe it does, it's been a while since I last used it.

We had a chance to drive the tiny Opel Adam following the Frankfurt Motor Show last fall, and what we found was a cute little city car that's decently fun, but hardly sporty. But that's about to change, as Opel has thrown a dose of sport at its plucky little runabout, and the finished result, the Adam S, makes its debut here at the Paris Motor Show.
Opel Adam S
Opel reveals production Adam S pocket rocket ahead of Paris
General Motors makes plenty of performance machinery, but it isn't huge in hot hatches. The closest you can get Stateside is the Chevy Sonic RS, and, while a perfectly reasonable vehicle in its own right, let's just say it doesn't quite keep pace with its European and Japanese rivals. GM does make hot hatches, it just usually leaves them up to its Opel division to sell overseas. Like the new Opel Adam S.
Opel Adam S and Adam Rocks make us want GM's Euro city car even more [w/poll]
There aren't a lot of products that General Motors offers overseas that we don't get back in America in one form or another, but the Opel Adam stands as a notable exception. GM's assault on the fashionable city car market, the Adam isn't likely to find its way to US showrooms... even if it does pick up a Buick badge on its way to China. But as if its elusive status didn't make us long for it already, Opel and its British counterpart Vauxhall just revealed two new versions in Geneva that make us
