You *NEED* to have a copy of mke2fs in the root filesystem in case /usr or any other mounted filesystem gets whacked. OTOH, you probably won't be mastering any CD images while your system is crippled, so having mkisofs in /usr is not inconsistent. The reason that mkisofs is not in /sbin is because /sbin should be reserved for things the core OS needs to have all of the time on the root partition. If you start putting mkisofs and the like in /sbin, then you have the problem of / growing over time. If you put mke2fs in /usr, then you're going to wish that you hadn't one day.

O Please grow up solange, I love katy perry, and really there is a lot of singers wearing less clothes, and their music videos are worse than katy perry,
If someone is opposed to an artists so-called behavior, then it is up to themselves to make a choice. Walk away from the issue, show some class in how you respond to/or give an opinion. Nothing is every resolved in negative thinking, reacting/responding. Treat with respect, and you too will be respected for your opinion.
Really tho.. What does she say about her own sister?? A lot of her stuff is just as suggestive and her outfits are just as revealing.. It's bc she white. Don't lie!

The Old Dock Warehouse was built in 1882, with H.C. Scharling as the architect. At the time its appearance was that of a slate-roofed building in two storeys. The architecture of the warehouse has adapted to the architectural ideal of the period, familiar to us from numerous industrial and agricultural buildings. At Old Dock Warehouse the structural design provides continuity with the tradition adopted by Eigtved and Harsdorff, used in warehouses elsewhere in the port. The building is pile founded, constructed with a main walled partition in three storeys and otherwise traditionally built with beams, girders and posts.
In 1920 the warehouse was converted, a third storey added on top, and the original, low slate roof replaced with a tall, pitched and tiled half-hipped roof. During extensive restoration and conversion in 1984-86 the building was refitted to house the Danish Architecture Centre and the National Workshops for Arts and Crafts.
Externally, the building has undergone few changes. The large roof has been renewed using the existing and newly manufactured interlocking tiles. The building's many attics have been rebuilt so as to optimize the influx of light. During the daytime the evenly distributed windows, including the "opened-up" hoist doors, provide useful and beautifully distributed light far into the building. In workshops, screened lamps have been suspended, exploiting the whitewashed ceilings between the beams and reflectors.

Summer is a time for love– at least according to Swedish pop band jj. To make the waiting time for their next full-length LP go by a bit faster, the duo have released a five-song EP entitled High Summer. The EP is certainly reminiscent of the current season. The tracks are sweet, romantic, and melodic. But overall, High Summer is a lot like a summer fling: it's fun at the time, but you hardly remember it come September.
The band get things going with the EP's title track, "High Summer." For those who aren't familiar with jj, here's what you need to know: there's going to be a few "oohs," a couple of "ahhs," and a whole lot of sparse, glittery beats. "High Summer" definitely fits the jj mold to a T, with lovely lyrics that read like a story that alternates between cutesy and badass. Pretty much, it's about being a nice girl, riding to a show in your Volvo, and being "fresh as fuck." However, the song's sparse background leaves the listener wanting more. The song is also quite long, so that by the time you hear a line such as "you're so cute with your problems/see me in the street, you know we gonna solve them," you might be saying "blegh" instead of "aww." The journey continues on "10," where Elin Kastlander sings, "I've got cameras in my face/I guess the revolution will be televised." It paints a picture of a kind of imaginary life, or the type of adventurous and temporary existence that can only be sustained by the heat of a summer day.
Not so hot is "My Name," which is essentially a string of Swedish (at least I think it's Swedish) words that sort of acts as a prelude to the next track, "Big Hearts, Big Dreams." I'm loving the nod to the homeland, but on an EP so short, it kind of feels like wasted space. Luckily, "Big Hearts, Big Dreams" is a true charmer, the one song that has enough substance to last beyond the season. The sounds are far more layered, and feel far meatier than anything else on High Summer.
"Times" is the EP's nostalgic closer, which recalls those chilly, weepy last moments of summer as you think "we did things we wanna leave behind." It's fitting, because High Summer has all of the romantic elements of a summer's day, but lacks a little bit of the heat. Despite containing five well-crafted songs, it feels like something's definitely missing; sort of like returning from a fun, relaxing day at the beach, only to find out that you're a little scorched by a sunburn. It may not be a fair comparison, but I can't help but think of fellow Swedish duo the Knife, who craft a sort of dark, hypnotic adventure into the unknown with every song. In turn, jj seem to favor fun and clever lyricism over creating a whole, solid package. Summer may be a time for romance, but while I'm totally liking High Summer, I'm not in love.

A long, long time ago, when the Hula-Hoop was young and suits still ruled the earth, the fantasy job for girls was stewardess.
There were myths and legends about stewardess life, many of them abetted by airline advertising campaigns: perfect hair, great travel and a handsome frequent flier at the end of the rainbow. Really the end, because on some airlines you couldn't stew after 32 or after "I do." Of course, no one talked about the low pay, long hours and high turnover rate.
The world has changed in a hundred ways since that beauty queen-cum-geisha fantasy, since Continental's slogan was "We really move our tails for you." They're flight attendants now, of both sexes, and most people seem to understand that they are safety, crowd control and passenger service employees, not ersatz dates.
And yet there remain vestiges of the old ways. Flight attendants still have weight limits on many airlines. If you are fat, you get fired. Only what passes for fat is average to you or me.

Interview Of Adam Young
Master Mind Behind Owl City
What is the main reason and motivation for writing your songs?
I just love to create. I started writing out of boredom and haven't looked back since.
Besides insomnia, what/who is an influence for your music?
Adam: I listen to mostly instrumental ambient music, oddly enough. I don't listen to much music with lyrics, so a lot of different things come into play when it comes to influence. I really connect with certain moods that I discover in film soundtracks. My two biggest musical influences are Jonathan Ford from Unwed Sailor, and composer Thomas Newman (WALL-E, Six Feet Under, Finding Nemo, A Series of Unfortunate Events).
Have you've had any personal encounters with the less fortunate (or someone deeply struggling with life) while on tour?
Adam: I've certainly been exposed to a lot more of the world than I ever thought I would see in the past year, the good and the bad.
Have you had any dreams that impacted your music in any way? If so, what was the dream? If you've never had this happen, what is a dream that has impacted your life greatly?
Adam: I daydream a lot about the deepest place in the ocean called Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench. So who knows what kind of song that might turn into?
What do your lyrics mean to you, and what do you hope to give to your listeners through your lyrics?
Adam: I love abstract music, and writing to suggest rather than inform is much more interesting to me. As a writer, I like to let people make their own conclusions about my music, rather than tell them exactly what to feel when they hear a song. So I let the listener decide what to make of the lyrics.
What is the best moment that you've had on stage?
Adam: There have been so many! I really can't name just one.
So you've collaborated with some great artists like Matt Thiessen and Breanne Düren; If you could do a collaboration with any of your current songs with any artist, which song would it be and who would it be with?
Adam: It's a toss-up between Shaquille O'Neal and Hulk Hogan.
If you could change something about the world with the power of a button, what would it be and why?
Adam: Free pizza on every corner.
Are there any moments where you've been truly embarrassed on stage?
Adam: Someone threw underwear at me on stage. I screamed like a girl.
If you could be Willy Wonka, what would be your ideal concoction?
Adam: A combination of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Oreos, and powdered donuts. If that is at all possible, you let me know.
What is one TV show or movie that you just can't get enough of?
Adam: Finding Nemo<>. The music in that movie gives me goose bumps.
What is one thing that fans do not know about you?
Adam: I can't read with socks on.

Miami New Times's Description
Admittedly, Miami is a bit behind the cupcake craze that swept New York and Los Angeles, oh, six or seven years ago. The market was ripe for a clever cupcake entrepreneur to step forward and put the city on the miniature dessert map. That person was Misha Kuryla-Gomez, purveyor of Misha's Cupcakes. Offering ooey-gooey deliciousness in bite-size portions, the stay-at-home mom used her mother's longtime recipe to create her own yummy success. Now her fare is sold at Books & Books Café, Town Kitchen and Bar, and the Van Dyke News Store, among other locations. Her Dadeland Mall kiosk, Lix by Misha, is conveniently parked near the Coach store, so husbands can soothe their sweet teeth outside while wives crank that credit card at the cash register. Misha's red velvet is the most talked-about flavor, but our favorite is cookies and cream. Or is it coconut? Or Kahlúa? They're all yummy. Mini cupcakes cost a buck; larger ones go for $2.25. Try the scones too!

Scouring the information super airways can sometimes be a tough, if educational, task for the Aero-News staff... but it also allows us to check out some truly neat and exciting sites, so it's not that bad a gig. On any given day, we may check dozens (and often hundreds) of different sources for story ideas, and facts confirmation. And, as is the nature of our business, much of this is done on the Internet.
The ANN gang decided we probably shouldn't keep some of the neat sites, info resources, and organizations we've discovered to ourselves... so we decided to bring you Aero-Linx. These are the sites that WE check out -- when we need added perspective, a new spin on a day's topic... or just want to escape into cyber-aero-space for awhile.
Look for some of our favorite sites, coming each day to ANN via Aero-Linx. Suggestions for future Aero-Linx segments are always welcome, as well.

Being on a tight budget is nothing to be ashamed of and for most people it has become a way of life ever since the housing crisis a few years ago. There are a ton of things that you can do to help keep your finances under control and your overall budget on track. Most people learn to get by with less of the finer things and learn what really is most important.
While there definitely are a ton of expenses that we can cut back on, there are a few things that we most certainly can't do without. One of those absolute necessities is clothing. We need clothes every day, but the thing we must realize is that while even though we still have to buy clothes, we don't have to spend a fortune on them. Here are a few tips on where to find bargain clothes:
- Ask Your Family- If you're on the hunt for some bargain clothing the best place that you can start looking is with your family members. There is a really good chance that you're siblings will have old clothes that they don't want to wear anymore and are willing to give away for free. You will most likely be able to find a lot of stuff that is still in really good condition still and will have a lot of use left in them.
- Head to Goodwill- If you still aren't satisfied with the results after rummaging through your family's old clothes then you can always head over to a Goodwill and see what they have there. Goodwill is a fantastic store because it gives people who are struggling to find a job a place to work. They have a lot of lightly worn clothing and their prices are extremely reasonable. You may have to shop for a while in order to sift through the wide variety of items that they will have, but there is no reason why you can find a few really good articles of clothing.
- Last chance sales outlets- There are several different stores that receive all of the clothing items from the larger retail stores that don't sale. If the products have been up for sale for a while but have failed to move then they are relocated to these last chance outlet stores where they are reduced in price and given another shot at finding a home. There are awesome savings to be had if you take the time to look.
Finding bargain clothes is all about being patient in your search and looking in the right places. With a little bit of bargain hunting practice you'll be a pro in not time, and your wardrobe will be filled with new clothing.

Psycho-Pharmacology Handbook for the Non-Medically Trained
Unquestionably, a large number of patients coming into Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs) today have co-occurring mental or psychological disorders of some sort. And, most of those persons are already taking or will be prescribed medications for those afflictions, an aspect of medicine called "psychopharmacology."
Therefore, - Psychopharmacology Handbook for the Non-Medically Trained – serves a vital need for
OTP clinic staff who would benefit from a better understanding of those medications.
As the title implies, this 270-page text could be invaluable for clinic staff who might be considered non-medically trained: counselors, therapists, social workers, and others who have patient contact. These
persons need to understand the variety of medications patients may be taking, their actions, typical dosages, side effects, and expected impact on recovery from both addiction and mental illness.
At the same time, since medically trained providers – nurses and physicians – absolutely need such knowledge, this book could serve them well in broadening their education. Even the most experienced or psychiatrically trained medical staff might find this book to be an excellent review and a handy reference text. Whether medically trained or not, MMT staff must spend time educating patients, their family members, and others about the benefits of combining medication regimens with effective psychosocial strategies. This book can help provide necessary knowledge.

The outlook in this book is extremely well-balanced, without lobbying for any particular treatment approach as a one-size-fits-all solution. In fact, the "Penn Paradigm," which Volpicelli advocates, stresses that "it is what the patient considers important, not what the treatment program is pushing, that matters." The underlying posture of the entire book is, "Patients given a menu of treatment options do significantly better than those who are simply told what to do." Patients, or prospective patients, also will greatly benefit from this book, as denoted by its subtitle: How You and Your Loved Ones Can Understand and Treat Alcohol and Other Drug Problems.

Addiction Treatment - Science and Policy for the Twenty-first Century
Edited by Jack E. Henningfield, Patricia B. Santora, and Warren K. Bickel, this book examines drug addiction treatment in the United States. It explores specific challenges (scientific, medical, social, and legal) to reaching the goal that treatment for drug addiction should be as accessible as treatments for diseases of the heart, liver, and lungs which often result from the use of addictive drugs.

Addiction Treatment provides a solid foundation for understanding addiction as a treatable illness and for establishing a framework for effective treatment in the twenty-first century.

Discovering Addiction - The Science and Politics of Substance Abuse Research (Hardcover)
Authored by Nancy D. Campbell, Discovering Addiction (2007) brings the history of human and animal experimentation in addiction science into the present with a wealth of archival research and dozens of oral-history interviews with addiction researchers. Professor Campbell examines the birth of addiction science—the National Academy of Sciences's project to find a pharmacological fix for narcotics addiction in the late 1930s—and then explores the human and primate experimentation involved in the succeeding studies of the "opium problem," revealing how addiction science became "brain science" by the 1990s.
The book can be ordered online at www.amazon.com for $60.00.
The Fix
Published in 2000, The Fix authored by Michael Massing, makes a case for the return of the community-based drug treatment clinic model that was a cornerstone of U.S. drug policy under Richard Nixon. While Nixon's personal distaste for illegal drugs may have been most evident in his decision to ignore evidence indicating that marijuana use did not lead irreparably to harder drugs, his pragmatism helped him recognize that the problem of narcotics was far more cost-effectively approached as a health issue rather than one strictly of law enforcement. In a narrative that alternates between descriptions of a drug-ridden neighborhood in Harlem and policy makers in the nation's capital, Massing compellingly argues that the most effective battle against addiction is the creation and maintenance of a comprehensive national treatment system.
The book can be ordered online at www.amazon.com for $22.68.
Slaying the Dragon: The History of Addiction Treatment and Recovery in America (Paperback)
Authored by William L. White 1998, this is a comprehensive book on the history of addiction treatment and recovery.

Addicts Who Survived: An Oral History of Narcotic Use in America, 1923-1965
Authored by David Courtwright, Herman Joseph and Don Des Jarlais. Published in 1989, this book provides a comprehensive history of drug addiction in the U.S., offering first-person monologues by 40 addicts whose stories retain each speaker's idiom. The authors distinguish their subjects from "ordinary" junkies, depicting them as an elite among addicts who survived the so-called "classic" period, 1923-1965, of harsh narcotics law enforcement to participate in New York City's mid-'60s (and ongoing) methadone maintenance program.
