Hey everyone,
I've been a while since GDC, huh? Well, unfortunately, I got pretty sick the week I got back from San Francisco and was pretty much bed-ridden for the rest of that whole week. However, I did make it out to PAX East! I got to meet a few of the My IGNer's out there. Walter (snakpakk), Jayla, Josh and a few others. I do apologize for not being able to attend the full conference. When I got the IGN party, I started feeling ill again, which, had me going home earlier. Bleh. I was in bed for the rest of the weekend! Not cool!
However, I persevered and made a couple of the sessions that were running at PAX. I made the Community Manager panels and made it to the Red vs Blue session on Saturday. It wasn't the best networking opportunity that I could get as I was sick and couldn't make the IGN Podcast (MAJOR BUMMER). However, the rest of the week went pretty good, which brings me to my next topic.
I've got a NEW Laptop!
I recently picked up the newest edition of the Macbook Pro. It's a 13" Macbook Pro, which is a very sexy machine with the metal finish and amazing keyboard. One of the biggest things that I love on a laptop is the keyboard and the keyboard that it has is amazing. It's weird what a keyboard can do for a person. I barely make any mistake typing on this keyboard and it's soft to the touch and to the ear.
Another great aspect of this notebook is the bright screen. Even off the charger, the screen is as bright as star. For real! It's a crystal clear LED screen and looks amazing. I will try to take some pictures of the laptop, but I don't know how much it will really show on the picture.
The battery life on the laptop is superb as well. It has a life span of few days when at normal use. Which is about an hour or two a day. I am mostly on my desktop, but when I am in bed or around the house, I use this bad boy for my internet and computing needs. As of right now, I was off the charger for at least two days and finally put the plug back on to recharge. It's already almost done charging which is incredible.
The speed of the laptop is great too. It's a 2.5GHz Intel Core i5 with 4GB of RAM and a 320GB hard drive. One of it's newest features, however, is the Thunderbolt port on the left side of the computer. As of now, I only believe that Apple's LED Display is the only thing it can be used for, which is kind of a bummer since I don't really want to buy a huge 27" display. However, I am hoping that there will be more on the way for the Thunderbolt component.
I also got new phone...boy, ain't I the consumer whore? However, I get into that in my next blog! Hope you enjoyed the read.

This excerpt is from E&E News (subscription required)
House Republicans yesterday advanced a trio of energy bills that would allow a vast expansion of oil and gas development in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, the Gulf of Mexico and in the oil-rich Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
The bills, which passed the Natural Resources Committee on mostly party-line votes, now move to the House floor where they are expected to join Speaker John Boehner's (R-Ohio) "American Energy and Infrastructure Jobs Act."
Republicans said the bills will create more than a million American jobs, lower energy prices and raise new revenues to replenish the Highway Trust Fund. Democrats panned the package as an opportunistic giveaway to the oil and gas industry, arguing it would raise far less revenue than what is needed to build roads.
"This Republican jobs plan opens access to American energy resources, creates new jobs, brings certainty for small businesses that depend on affordable energy and generates new revenue that can be used to build roads and infrastructure projects to create even more American jobs," said committee Chairman Doc Hastings (R-Wash.). "Unlocking our nation's energy resources starts a wave of economic benefits and job creation that will positively touch nearly every aspect of our economy."
On a 25-19 vote, the committee reported H.R. 3410, which would require the Interior Department to hold lease sales in the most oil-rich parts of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, as well as a small portion of the eastern Gulf. Republicans added language yesterday that would include a lease in Alaska's Bristol Bay and along California's Santa Barbara coast, as long as drilling only occurs from existing platforms or from the shore.
The committee defeated an amendment by Rep. Grace Napolitano (D-Calif.), the ranking member of the Water and Power subcommittee, that would have required the U.S. Geological Survey to study of impacts of oil shale on water quality and quantity for municipal and agricultural users.
Tipton said the Government Accountability Office is in the process of addressing her concerns.
"We have mitigation required in the state of Colorado," he said. "In terms of water supply, under Colorado law, in order to use water you have to own water."
But environmentalists urged a cautious approach to oil shale development, arguing potential environmental and economic impacts are yet to be explored. Many fear developing the resource could lead to another boom-and-bust cycle that could cripple local communities.
"Lamborn's approach to oil shale is 'Ready or not here it comes,' and we are not ready," said Kate Zimmerman, of the National Wildlife Federation. "There are still very important questions to be answered about the impacts of extracting oil shale on Colorado communities, on water quantity and quality and on fish and wildlife."

Lyndhurst, NJ, United States, 2006/02/25 - New signs, new services and new locations for Storkdelivery.com in 2006.
Storkdelivery.com announced Friday that it will be adding several new Trademarked Characters to its already impressive cast of Decorative Lawn Sign designs.
"2006 will be a great year for Storkdelivery.com and its partners. We plan on adding at least four new lawn sign designs for our distributors, as well as introducing some creative ways for them to be able to adapt some of their existing signage for multiple uses.
"We're trying to find ways for our distributors to get more flexibility out of each sign, and to do that we need to be very creative", stated company founder Dennis Mazza. In 2006 we'll be focusing our efforts on displays that have multiple uses, for example our new inter-locking heart design can be adapted for Weddings, Anniversaries, etc., and our new adult Birthday Design will have an interchangable piece that gives it the flexibility to be used for a man or a woman.
"We want our partners to continue to grow, and to do so, we have to offer them new products that will help them be successful. For most of our partners, this is a home based, work at home business, so we understand that their time is limited. It's up to us to provide them with unique and innovative products that will allow all of our locations to expand their services."
In February, StorkDelivery.com added three new distributors to it's growing network of locations. The new areas include Westchester County, New York (nystorks.com), Suffolk County, New York (listorksigns.com) and Gainesville, Florida.
To receive information regarding opening your own Lawn Stork Rental distributorship with Storkdelivery.com view the business opportunity section on their website.

how firewallD start on startup in fedora 17 - System Security Services Demon fails
I do not know what the service name of the firewall demon is in fc 17. Trying to add a printer results in:
FirewallD is not running. Network printer detection needs services
Now, these services can be easily turned ON with:
sudo system-config-firewall
But, how does one start the firewall demon?
sgallagh says use:
service firewalld start
This does not work - result is:
[root@localhost ~]# service firewalld start
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start firewalld.service
Failed to issue method call: Unit firewalld.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status firewalld.service' for details.
This is because systemctl -a shows there is NO service called firewall (or ANYTHING similar) in fc 17.
This why I am asking what its name in fc 17 is. It probally is loaded by default. But what is its name. Probablly the printer config also thinks its name is firewalld which I can log a bug against it if that is the case.
I'm still familiarizing myself with F16 and I don't know what changes F17 brought wrt services but running 'systemctl -a' and grepping for "firewall" should show. For earlier incarnations of Fedora, I mean the ones without amputated /etc/init.d, the "firewall service" would be at /etc/rc.d/init.d/ip(6)tables.

I have had trouble with a font that i have been trying to use, I have access to both X3 and X4 and for some reason the problem is reversed depending on which I am using. In Corel X3 it will allow me to use only the bold and italic version of the font, it is aware that the normal roman exists but when used it wont show up in the document whilst in X4 it will only let me use the standard roman version with no bold or italic available at all.
the particular font has its roman version as a .PFB and .PFM type 1 font whilst the italics and bold version is a true type font.
I have tried copying and pasting them directly into the fonts folder and using bitstream navigator where the preview is normal,
anyone have any ideas, thanks in advance
Hello n3v; It sounds like a bad font? How about loading it from anoter source.
My Thoughts George
In reply to TheSign Guy:
thanks for the reply george, could you perhaps elaborate a little....?
I wasnt sure whether perhaps there was a clash between the types of file they were the fact ones a type 1 and the others a true type, it just seems odd that in one version one works and in the other the other works?
In reply to n3v:
Hello n3v; True Type fonts should work in both ver. of Corel you have I don't use Type 1 fonts haven't for years. there is a lot of places you can go for fonts ( a lot of them are free ) you can do a search on the web "free fonts" and you will get a lot of hits. What I do is make a dir. on the hard drive named "Fonts" and save all my fonts there and get Font Nav to search for them there, You can load a lot of fonts in Font Nav and CorelDraw will use them, but if you load over 400 font in the "Windows" font folder you may have all kinds of problems. I only load "Windows" font dir. with what other programs on the computer need ( I have less than 150 fonts loaded in "Windows". And the more fonts loaded in Windows the slower it runs. I delete all of the fonts that don't run well in Font Nav. I do signs and need to match fonts that people send me and I guess I have at least 20,000 fonts all toll. ( NOT ALL LOADED at one time ).
George, thanks for the expert advice, sorry my reply has been so delayed, corel had began to slow and I pressume its the extra fonts I have been using, it seems that the easiest answer as you have suggested might be to just use another font, you seem like abit of a font pro so maybe I could pick your brains?....the font I am using is Mrs Eaves, which is a paid font but I have had it some time and dont really want to have to pay again, I was just wondering if you could suggest a similar (free) alternative? It needs to have a bold and an italic and what i particularly like about it is the petite caps option as well, I believe its a variation of Baskerville but again I think thats an expensive font to actually buy
Hello n3v; you could use "What The Font" in the text drop down menu to see if it finds something ( I don't know a Mrs Eaves never heard of it, but I did know a Miss Babby once but my wife made me quite using it !!!!! ) And do a search on the net for "free fonts" and start in the A's. Why not type something and post it on the forum, and someone may be able to to tell you what you can use. ( people here are good at jumping in to help.)
I am also having an issue with fonts.
FonNav is automatically replacing a certain font with another font. I have cleared the FontNav db file and also deleted all fonts from the left hand panel of FontNav and rebuilt that list.
I am not sure what is going on now, it is very confusing.
Also, on one PC the same font is appearing as 'Normal' whilst another PC says it is 'Western'
Please help.. we have a Style guide here in which we use certain fonts for all printed media. We cannot have the risk of one of the designers accidentally substituting a font.
Any help would be greatly appreciated..
In reply to Brett:
If the 'missing' font is in the font database and available, Font Navigator should of course suggest it and use it.
Is it possible that you have the same font in more than one version, or from different vendors?
Another thing could be that someone has chosen to replace a certain font with another, and added that exception to the list of permanent substitutions. Check Options > Text > Fonts > Panose Font Matching... (button) and Exceptions... (button).
In reply to Ronny Axelsson:
n3vIt needs to have a bold and an italic and what i particularly like about it is the petite caps option as well, I believe its a variation of Baskerville
Here is a look at both fonts you mentioned:
In reply to Graewerld:
thanks for the reply, you're right their italics are quite similar, but I'm not sure if they're bold and standard roman formats are? Also I know there are alot of variations of the Baskerville font, I think I have a 'baskerville old face' but thats also not quite right. The font I'm trying to use is Mrs eaves and that's definitely in the same family, its just frustrating that I have the font that I want but it wont work in corel.
"the particular font has its roman version as a .PFB and .PFM type 1
font whilst the italics and bold version is a true type font"
In that case, you do not really have "the" particular font, you have two conflicting fonts.
Windows cannot (or at least, does not, in my experience) cope with this. It can mix truetype and type 1 when they are completely separate fonts, but is confused if it sees what appears to be two different versions of the same font family.
You can imagine this as the two versions of the font "fighting" each other internally ... is that dualling or duelling ? But it is a "battle" that neither font will win conclusively and, as you've found, the results can be somewhat unpredictable.
I think you need to eradicate both versions of those fonts, and find one font which has all four variants.
In reply to harryLondon:
You may be on to something here Harry!
Thanks Brute-Fish, it's nice to know others are having the same problem. I now have an even more confusing dilemma.. I think it may be a corrupt font causing it all. But on one of our PC's the windows fonts have all gone haywire and now there is no 'checkbox' next to the folders when we try to 'find fonts'. In fact I can't check any boxes next to any folders to search for fonts. God I hate fonts! I tried to do one thing and have one central location where we deposit all fonts.
This all happened when we scrolled over the font Square BT inside of FontNav.
Something I would like added to FontNav would be a font group for Windows fonts. Then you could un-install everything except for Windows fonts and re-import them all. We have one staff member who has 3,500 fonts installed and there is no way I can quickly revert back to something more manageable.
To conclude, I have one more issue with Windows 7 and font management. My system shows all installed fonts (348 to be exact) another PC in the office shows only 10 fonts, yet FontNav is saying there is over 440? I'm ready to give up, I know eventually this is going to be the cause of a massive production dilemma.
In reply to Brute-Fish:
Hi Brute-Fish,
Cheers, I'll give it a crack but it appears it only restores XP and Vista, there isn't an option for Win 7 :(
It's a great Idea that FontNav should incorporate.

Shopping While Black
My breads gonna be squished.
I remember thinking that as my hands flew up into the air and my eyes squinted to adjust to the light shining in my face.
Having decided that shopping was more economically sound than eating out every night (I never bothered to actually do the math before), I was on my way back from Ralphs. As I walked down the street to my apartment, visions of sandwiches and beer danced around my brain. This shopping thing was a good idea.
Where you going?! A booming voice shattered the quiet reflection.

Now, it may be interesting to note that I had about $150 to my name, wasnt running or skulking behind anything, was dressed in a jacket and tie and . . . oh yeah! . . . had two bags of groceries in my hands. And as pissy as I may seem right now, I swear none of this outrage or disgust was roaming through my head at the time. I should have been pissed off, right? I wasnt doing anything illegal. Hell, I wasnt doing anything except walking home with groceries. I didnt even see them there, which was scary enough, but when I looked up and saw the police car, I was actually afraid.
I live in that building on the end there, I just came from shopping at the Ralphs. I got receipts for all my food, and my wallets in my pocket here if you wanna get it out.
You dont have to be a smart ass!
Oh, this is great: one of the few times in my life when Im not being sarcastic and Im gonna get my ass beat for it.
Then I thought: They could shoot you.
They could shoot you and kill you! Dont move! Just fucking be still!
One of the first things I ever knew about L.A. cops was the Rodney King incident. I hear ya groaning, guys, but you have to know that ones just never gonna die. Speaking of things that will be in the collective consciousness for a while, R-A-M-P-A-R-T.
Of course, I did see some LAPD officers break up a fight in front of the Standard Hotel one night. In that instance, there was a white guy and a black guy. Both a little drunk and both throwing punches. Outta nowhere, six squad cars pull up (they are good at that), cops jump out, Mace the black guy down, handcuff him and ask the white kid if hes all right. And lets not forget the story about another videotaped beating in L.A. in which the police were let off scot-free.
And there it was. Im 29 years old. I have been all over this country and have met cops from all walks of life. Im a black man and I know what it is to be stopped for no reason. But I have never been afraid that the police would actually shoot me. As long as I didnt do anything wrong, I have always said my piece and let them get as pissed as they want. Ive argued with cops before, but I didnt think I was going to die during the encounter.
No, sir . . . I answer the cop.
Sir? What is that? Im calling this jackass Sir.
Go home!
And they sped off just as abruptly as they appeared. I picked up my groceries, thanked God that I was all right, and went home to make sliced-turkey sandwiches on squished bread.
Forty years ago, Martin Luther King Jr. led the nation to Washington and told us that there would be a day when we would all be judged equally. Forty years later and there are things that are better, things that are worse, and there are some things that are exactly the same. Yeah, they could have killed me, but at least they needed me to give them a reason. Progress.

The Dybbuk in the Cemetery
Venturing out at dusk like bats from our cave, we arrived at Hollywood Forever Cemetery the streets of the necropolis lit with tiki torches and made our way past the phallic Otis monument, the diminutive Mel Blanc tombstone, the polished black granite slabs etched with the photos of recently deceased Russian immigrants. By the time we reached the cemeterys southeastern corner adjacent to Paramount Studios, several hundred people were already picnicking on the only open grassy space not occupied by graves. DJ Brandon Hall set the pulse with a mix of melancholy but celebratory klezmer, hip-hop and down-tempo: Pharaohs Daughter segued into Blood Oranges, Davka into Billie Holiday into Mickey Katz, source of the memorable line, She even cha-chas when she shlufts. And then came The Dybbuk, the 1938 Polish/Yiddish film noted for its Hasidic Gothic visual style, projected onto the mausoleum wall.
The screening is the brainchild of Tali Pressman, the 23-year-old director of a new organization, Avada, whose mission, under the umbrella of Yiddishkayt L.A., is to bring people under 35 to a new appreciation of Yiddish language and culture. Yiddish can be a hard sell, especially to my generation, says Pressman, who has, with tonights program, conjured a canny juxtaposition of Old World and New, mystery and schmaltz, love-in and summer camp.
Based on the classic 1919 play by S. Ansky and set in an Eastern European shtetl in the late 19th century, Der Dibek is a tale of disconsolate spirits, frustrated passions and untimely deaths. Poor Leah, the young bride-to-be, is possessed by the spirit of her dead lover, the young scholar Khonen, whos been dabbling in the forbidden texts of the Kabbalah. The films subtitle is Between Two Worlds. Ansky, a prominent socialist, Yiddish and Russian journalist and avid folklorist, was himself an illustration of that in-betweenness: comfortable neither in Russian secular society nor among traditional religious Jews.
I also was mediating two worlds: the ghostly images projected on the cemetery wall and the presence of my dead parents, grandparents and cousins in a vault in Hollywood Forevers adjacent Jewish section. In the film, Leah goes to the cemetery to invite her dead mother to her wedding. In reality, my own dead mother is buried in this cemetery. A reason to drink more red wine.
Meanwhile, with a red-glowing Mars above flickering black-and-white images of Polish rabbis performing exorcisms, those around me were experiencing their own epiphanies and discomforts. A friend kvetched about the films stereotypical and kitschy depiction of shtetl Jews. Another friend said that the people assembled on the cemetery lawn reminded her of everyone shed ever known in her life who had died. A third, a refugee from the NYC blackout, gleefully noted how she couldnt wait to tell her Brooklyn friends how she spent the night sitting in the dark in a cemetery in the middle of Hollywood. A fourth muttered, Hey, the goyim have a duck pond. Thats not fair!
Despite creeping damp and inevitable leg cramps from sitting on the ground for two hours, an informal solidarity built up among those gathered. Collectively witnessing the gradual shift of light from afternoon to evening was a tribal rite, inherently calming. Hearing the actors on the screen speak in Yiddish was disorienting to some, comforting to others, poignant to many.
When the movie ended, no lights came back on. It was dark. Real dark. A partial moon hung overhead. Ducks quacked. Mexican fan palms loomed as eccentric silhouettes. Car headlights cast intermittent shadows, transforming pedestrians into apparitions, illuminating the inscribed names of the dead.
After attending too many family funerals, the last thing I have ever wanted was to join my ganse mishpocheh for eternity in the middle of Hollywood behind a strip mall. Mellowed by red wine and klezmer, however, surrounded by visiting peaceful souls, listening to my grandparents mother tongue, and with the prospect of more nighttime screenings, I began to seriously consider the possibility.

Next-Generation Chicano
On the Friday before Labor Day, restaurateur Steven Arroyo strides into the dusty interior of Malo, the new Mexican restaurant he hopes to open in Silver Lake within the week. The dining room of the restaurant is still mostly unfinished 100 metal chairs are stacked in the center of the room, a carpenter is trimming out the far wall, and in the corner Arroyos 3-year-old son, Luca, sits on a dirty banquet playing with a cash register, punching on the keys and grinning whenever it prints out another blank receipt.
Were calling this a Mexican restaurant, but I feel like Im taking some poetic license, says the 34-year-old Arroyo, whose other restaurants are Cobras & Matadors, Hillmont and Cobra Lily. Its really going to be Chicano food, or Mexican-American food. Its the kind of food I grew up with.
Were fairly proud of the fact that were not going to have nachos on the menu, says Malos executive chef, Robert Luna, whose thick sideburns and burly physique make him look like a Latino Elvis. When you think of Mexican food, why do you feel like you need superhuge amounts of refried beans?
Arroyo lists the standards that diners wont get at Malo mole, enchiladas, soft-shell tacos, free chips and salsa on every table.
So does that mean there wont be any margaritas either? Oh, no, no, no, says Arroyo. Were definitely doing margaritas.
In order to re-create the sort of food he grew up eating, Arroyo invited his family to help him shape the menu and break in the kitchen. Today, Arroyos 88-year-old grandfather, Patrick Holguin, is making red chileencrusted pollitos with fresh rosemary. Arroyos mother is boiling stock for menudo, and Arroyos cousin Latecia Arroyo, who will be Malos head chef and kitchen manager, is making sure everybody has all the cows feet and fresh chiles they need to make their dishes. Arroyos sister-in-law Nikomi Arroyo, who will be Malos floor manager, drops by to see how things are coming, and Arroyos wife, Cristina, comes to pick up Luca and chat with the family.
Arroyos grandfather used to own a famous taco stand called Beas El Burrito on East Third Street just below Ford Boulevard in the 1950s and 1960s. He looks much younger than his 88 years I know, I look great even for 70, he says. Arroyos mother grew up working in the kitchen of Beas during her summers off from school. So in some ways, Arroyos Mexican restaurant is a return to family tradition. But only in some ways. The green chile that Arroyo plans to put on Malos menu may be similar to the recipe that Holguin used at Beas, but the sea salt and lime chicken grilled under a brick has more in common with the heavily spiced Spanish food that Cobras & Matadors tends to serve.
Holguin himself doesnt even stick to recipes from the old country, as he puts it. He was born in Santa Monica and moved to East L.A. when he was 5. His favorite recipe is for chicken cordon bleu, and in the recipe book he shares with friends and family, there are instructions for osso buco and stir-fry kung pao chicken right next to Mama Tinas Tamales.
I recently invited a lady friend over for dinner, and she was expecting Mexican rice and tacos, Holguin says, but I was serving beef brisket. I told her I would make her Mexican food the next time.
At about 9:30, the cooking is finally finished, and Arroyos mother, cousin, sister-in-law and grandfather join him, his partners and a few friends in the candlelit bar area of Malo, which is much closer to completion than the main dining room. Out come Holguins pollitos, served on paper plates with canned beer the tableware hasnt arrived yet. Arroyo tastes his grandfathers dish and smiles. The pollitos are good, he declares. But will they make it onto the menu? He wont say.

AG Cooper announces $21.5M settlement over mortgage lending crisis
Posted February 3, 2015
Raleigh, N.C. — The North Carolina Attorney General's Office announced a $21.5 million settlement Tuesday with Standard & Poor's Financial Services.
The money is part of S&P's total $1.38 billion settlement with the U.S. government, 19 states and the District of Columbia for knowingly inflating its ratings of risky mortgage investments that helped trigger the financial crisis.
Under the agreement, S&P admits that it allowed "the pursuit of profits to bias its ratings," the Justice Department said.
"Good ratings led investors to make bad bets on risky securities, contributing to job losses and foreclosures that hit taxpayers and businesses in North Carolina hard," said N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper. "This settlement is a step toward righting the wrong and preventing future harm."
North Carolina's share of the S&P settlement will benefit North Carolina schools, with more than $2.1 million in fines going to the state Civil Penalty and Forfeiture Fund. Cooper said he would like the remaining money – about $19.45 million – to be invested in two areas.
He recommends using $15 million to save the North Carolina Teaching Fellows program, which gives college scholarships to high achieving education students who stay to teach in North Carolina schools. He wants the remaining $4.4 million to be used to retain scientists at the State Crime Lab and to provide the lab with more equipment.
Lawmakers will have the final say over how the money will be spent, but Senate majority leader Sen. Harry Brown, R-Onslow, said Cooper's recommendations will be considered.
"We'll look at what he has and talk about it and see where it leads," Brown said.
Gov. Pat McCrory released a statement Tuesday, saying he is "very pleased with the settlement."
"This good news allows us to incorporate an additional $21.5 million in our $20 billion budget recommendations as we focus our investments in jobs, education, public safety, public health and transportation," he said. "We also welcome the new attention toward a decade-old problem in our state crime labs. I appreciate the work of the Attorney General and his staff on this settlement."
At a news conference Tuesday, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said S&P's leadership "ignored senior analysts who warned that the company had given top ratings to financial products that were failing to perform as advertised."
Company executives "complained that the company declined to downgrade underperforming assets because it was worried that doing so would hurt the company's business," Holder added. "While this strategy may have helped S&P avoid disappointing its clients, it did major harm to the larger economy, contributing to the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression."

Lindsay and Ryan's vintage-inspired destination wedding had an abundance of personality and character and was, simply, pure fun. Lindsay and I know each other from university, and I was honoured when she and Ryan asked me to be a part of their wedding. Being the incredibly organized teachers that Lindsay and Ryan both are, from their organized lists, thoughtful and whimsical design details, to their caring and helpful families, my life as their Banff wedding coordinator was a pleasure, filled with tons of laughter!
The wedding ceremony and reception were held at Buffalo Mountain Lodge with pretty yellow, white and grey details and plenty of vintage-tinged charm. Lindsay and Ryan, as well as their families, have wonderfully quirky and hilarious personalities, and I really appreciated how much time they took to create thoughtful and personal touches throughout their entire wedding (bridal party cowbell ringing anyone?).
Fun fact that Ryan shared with me: you know those delicious "Miss Vickie's" brand chips? Yep, that's Lindsay's aunt!
There are so many sweet details and gorgeous moments captured by Sarah Pukin Photography, I had a hard time narrowing them down!
Thanks to Amanda for assisting and a special thank you to Victoria Fraser, colleague and friend. We'll miss you, Tori.
Too cute! I love this photo.
It's with photos like this that remind me of how lucky we are to have this kind of scenery so close to us!
Congratulations, Lindsay and Ryan! I wish you a lifetime of happy memories and thank you for letting me be part of the wonderful McDonough and deBoer antics!

Dog survives owner in carbon monoxide poisoning
A deadly case of carbon monoxide poisoning killed a Maryland man, but the man's dog miraculously survived.
Jack, a 3-year-old black lab, and his owner George Sapp took a cross country trip in a vintage RV. However, two days into the trip a rush of carbon monoxide from an unknown source filled their RV.
Investigators say the level of carbon monoxide was so high, it probably killed Sapp in minutes. Jack spent 11 hours in the RV.
This isn't the first time Jack survived a difficult ordeal. He was found in 2010 during a blizzard abandoned in the snow.
Sapp gave Jack a home. His daughters say the two were inseparable.
"He took him everywhere with him. He didn't actually go one place without him."
Alison White says the vet initially told her Jack probably suffered severe organ damage from the poisoning, but Jack is just fine.
While White grieves for the loss of her father, she is grateful the dog he loved so much is with her now.
"He is just such an inspiration. I definitely believe in miracles now," White said.

I've just finished building an Ice Tube clock kit, and digit 6 doesn't
light up most of the time. If you tap very lightly on the glass tube
with a fingernail, it will sometimes come on for a while.
I brought the boards in to the hardware lab at work, and used one of
the inspection microscopes to check the solder joints on
* the PLCC socket
* both 20-pin headers
* the VFD tube leads
I paid special attention to the connections that I _think_ are for the
VFD6 net, but since there are no pin 1 indicators on the silkscreen
for the headers and VFD tube, it's sort of hard to tell.
They all looked fine, but I re-flowed any of the ones that were even
remotely questionable and then cleaned the flux off the boards. [I've
been soldering a long time, and do a pretty good job until I get to
the really fine pitch surface mount stuff -- though I do have to use a
microscope for stuff that I didn't in my younger days.]
Didn't help.
Can somebody point me to pin 1 positions for the headers and the VFD
tube so I can put a scope on the digit select lines to check them?
The pinout for the PLCC socket would also be great. (Or are PLC28
socket footprints all the same? It's been a lot of years since any of
my projects used PLCC sockets.)
Do VFD tubes ever have flaky digits/segments right out of the box?
I do actually have a spare tube from a previous Ice Tube kit, but I
don't have a spare board/header to solder it to -- about half the
parts in the previous kit got lost. It's a long story involving a
tornado and a couple of toddlers.
[This sure is more fun than troublshooting 7-layer boards full of BGA
parts and blind vias.]

MONTE CARLO, Monaco - It was third time lucky for 17-year-old Donna Vekic at the BMW Malaysian Open. There she won her very first WTA title. And the icing on the cake? She scored her first Top 10 win over Dominika Cibulkova to do it.
For that reason she has been named WTA Rising Star Of The Month for April.
Vekic also became the first player under 18 to win a WTA title since 2006. The last to do so was Vania King in Bangkok.
"I'm so happy - I don't know what to say, I'm so, so happy!" Vekic said after the final.
"It was a very tough match. She played very well throughout the whole match. I was up 5-1 in the third set and she came back out playing insane - so I'm happy I was able to get through in the end."
Vekic received twice as many fan votes (50%) than fellow Rising Star of the Month finalists Caroline Garcia (25%) and Jana Cepelova (25%).

Ticking into the future
|By Paul Wozniak
MSU's 'American Clock' is an often striking look at the 1930s
As our current recession seems to be winding down, the Michigan State University Department of Theatre has wound up "The American Clock" by Arthur Miller. As Miller's "Death of a Salesman" is an intense close-up of a troubled man, "Clock" is an expansive wide shot of a troubled nation struggling through the Great Depression. However, director Tony Caselli (artistic director of Williamston Theatre) proves that with the right music, even a disjointed series of vignettes can be turned into a cohesive anthem.

Tiger Beach: Best underwater beach to bum around - by far!!!

....I will, and I understand that Dom Macan of DiveAdvice has still three open spots on the forthcoming trips aboard the spacious "Dolphin Dream" (Oct 30 - Nov 5 and Nov 6 - 13).
As much as I am addicted to the tiger sharks of Tiger Beach, these two trips might be my last ones in the foreseeable future. *)
So, if you think that this is a chance to join a "professional" Tiger Beach bum, click here to get in touch with Dom.
Whoever you are, it would be nice to see ya "out there".
*) Next year I will have a more traditional dive vacation to introduce my grand-son Wolfie to the marvels of the Bahamian undersea world (never too early to do that; I taught Felix to freedive before he could walk, also in the Bahamas).
And 2013? How could I plan that far ahead? In my age?!? No way, "Hosay" (= Jose)!!...

Related: Departing President F. King Alexander and CSULB say good-byes
When F. King Alexander was hired as president of Cal State Long Beach in 2005, he promised to move the university to another level of success and make graduating students a top priority. The Press-Telegram talked with Alexander this week as he prepares to leave for a new job as president at Louisiana State University.
The Press-Telegram talked with Alexander this week as he prepares to leave for a new job as president at Louisiana State University.
Q: Did you accomplish the things you wanted to accomplish at CSULB?
A: I think we've accomplished a whole lot in a very difficult budgetary circumstance. One thing that was a top priority was to protect our students' ability to graduate, and we did not have great success with that in previous decades, so I'm very pleased to say that despite the budget reductions we've been dealt, we are at our highest level of graduating our students in our history, and (this week) we'll have about 9,000 students graduating.
Q: Were there any surprising challenges?
A: I never thought in a million years that California would decimate higher education like it has so quickly. That certainly is not California's reputation. When I got here, about 44 percent of our budget came from California, now it's down to 23 percent. And just keeping everything stable has been a difficult challenge involving everybody that we can.
Q: Talk about some of the things you implemented.
A: Our Highly Valued Degree Initiative that we have. We were about three to four years ahead of the federal government and our state and the CSUs with regard to focusing on this specific issue. Now, graduating students is the No. 1 issue in higher education in the National Governors Association. It's the No. 1 issue in the Obama Administration in higher ed. It's the No. 1 issue in (U.S. Secretary of Education) Arne Duncan's administration in higher ed. So we actually had a three-and-a-half year jump on the rest of the country in implementing all the programs and pieces of the puzzle that have helped our students graduate. Secondly, despite the reductions we were still able to provide a series of facilities for our students that also play into this arena of helping them stay and graduate and not leave the campus.
Q: How fruitful were your trips to Sacramento and Washington, D.C.?
A: I'd say the trips to Washington were very fruitful. The trips to Sacramento were not as fruitful (laughs). Particularly the trips to Washington on the front end of the stimulus packages, because we had to first argue that education is a component and funds should be made available to colleges and universities as part of the stimulus packages, because we've got shovel-ready projects, we've got students that need classes, we've got teachers that need their jobs. ... Sacramento was hit and miss. It was almost as though it didn't matter what we tried to do there. We were continually dealing with massive budget reductions over and over again. We had a lot of verbal support ... but we go back here and just get hammered. And oftentimes the predictability of it was so uncertain. I remember two years ago we went into the budget meeting with seven different budgetary scenarios on July 1, on what could happen in the next couple of months to us.
Q: What did you learn about CSULB?
A: What's interesting is that we really have done things the right way. We're not the cause of the college-cost crisis. We're well below the national average in tuition and fees. We're not the cause of the student indebtedness issue that has become national headlines now that it broke $1 trillion nationwide ... And we're not a cause of the expenditure crisis, that universities are just spending money recklessly, because we spend less per student than virtually every large university in the country.
Q: Are there things you didn't get done, that you could have if you had more time and resources?
A: Somehow, we have to figure out a way to compensate our faculty and staff. They haven't had raises in five years. They've even had a 10 percent pay reduction. Furloughs. Our campus really has been doing a lot more with less than we've ever had. And they've been doing it on their own backs with no additional compensation, losing ground every year against the consumer price index that keeps going up. So I wish we could've given them some relief, because they certainly deserve it.
Q: What advice would give to the next president at CSULB?
A: I'd say you've got good people here. Very good people. We're deep in terms of talented people. We work well together ... we have a culture of everybody getting along and having common values. I would say that it's not a campus you need to go in and fix. It works very well. And I'd say continue to ensure that continues.
Trust each other, because this campus has a very high level of trust ... and that is not the case in a lot of places.

Buying a used motorcycle is a good way to get a perfectly running machine for dirt-cheap while also stretching your budget to get you on a much nicer bike. Here are our favorite techniques for getting the most value when you buy a used motorcycle.
Be Willing to Travel
Used motorcycle values vary wildly based on geographic location. The Manufacturers Suggested Retail Pricing (MSRP) and the addition of dealer fees usually dictate new motorcycle prices, with little variance. Pricing in the used market, however, is based on supply, demand, and what people in any geographic area are willing to pay. Los Angeles tends to believe 1970's used Hondas that need work are worth $3,000-$5,000, while Bakersfield (50 miles north) has them for $1,500-$2,000. If you are willing to extend your search into areas that aren't subject to fads, you have a much better chance of getting a better deal.
Value of Aftermarket Additions
Buying a used motorcycle is a way to get a motorcycle with the aftermarket options you want, already installed. The downside is that the seller often believes the aftermarket additions are worth the amount they paid for them (including what they paid for installation). New tires, a fresh oil change, or nice exhaust system are nice additions to a used motorcycle and will save you ownership dollars. These items are worth paying a little more for, while personalization bits like fancy levers and new mirrors are not.
How Many Miles Is Too Many?
The used motorcycle market is interesting because of the wildly varied use of the inventory within it. My dentist thinks hitting 1,000 miles in a year is a lot of riding. Many people view motorcycles as Sunday toys, which contributes to the idea that motorcycle engines can't handle regular use. If you have two identical options side-by-side and one has 20k less miles, that's obviously the better buy. If the bike you want has 30k-40k miles and looks like it's been taken care of in the process, don't be afraid to buy the bike you want as the engine has plenty of life left in it.
Be Nice (Really!)
It's your right to offer however much you can afford to spend for a used motorcycle. Offering too little, however, can be taken with offense and can be the difference between a sale or not, so know the market, know the product and offer something fair. You never know when the seller has aftermarket additions he planned on selling separately, but will toss in because he likes you and you treated him with respect. Remember, we are all just trying to get the most out of our money.

THE husband of the second American aid worker with Ebola said he is astonished at those critical of the couple for putting themselves in danger.
David Writebol, who remains in Liberia, made the comments in a recorded phone conversation with Bruce Johnson, president of SIM USA. The aid group distributed the recorded call to the media.

The two were infected with Ebola while working at a missionary clinic outside Liberia's capital

Mayor Koch Calls for Senate Republicans to Keep Their Word and Support Independent Redistricting
State of Politics wrote about the letter former Mayor Ed Koch sent to Senate Republicans who have gone back on their campaign promises for reform. He is calling on them to sign either my redistricting reform legislation or Senator Valesky's bill, otherwise they will be labeled "Enemies of Reform."
Senate Republicans should be receiving a letter this morning from former NYC Mayor Ed Koch. As you probably guessed, he is calling them out for failing to live up to the pledge they made to him to support a non-partisan redistricting commission.
In the letter, Koch informs the Senators that their districts are on his list of scheduled robo-calls. If they want off the list, they have to co-sponsor one of two bills in the Senate currently. One by Freshman Mike Gianaris, and the other by Senator Dave Valesky.

August 14th, 2014, was the launch of SERFOR, the National Forest and Wildlife Service. This organization leads a sustainable, inclusive and competitive forest and wildlife management that allows Peru to be a leader coping with the challenges generated by climate change and the pressure currently exerted on forests.
"The goal is that the forest sector generates 3,000 million dollars annually in income by the activity from concessions and forestry plantations" said the Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation Mr. Juan Manuel Benites.
USAID has been working very close with the forestry authorities, supporting the Government of Peru to strengthen government oversight as a way to ensure the overall sustainability of natural resources, particularly of forests.
The launch event was at the National Museum and chaired by the Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation Mr. Juan Manuel Benites, SERFOR Executive Director Ms. Fabiola Muñoz, and USAID Acting Mission Director Ms. Evelyn Rodriguez-Perez.

Window - Center of screen - How do I do that
When I open a new windows in KDE or GNOME, I want it to be at the center of the screen.
I know I can do that by dragging the window ..but I am lazy and I do want to do that!!
For example -when I type xterm in Run Program.. it should open up and stations itself at the center of the screen,
X gods!! Pliz help me out!! I am really frustrated since I have to sacrifice extra energy to move windows top the center manually!!
Ooo, if I answer this am I an X-god?
Not certain how to in gnome, but it should be pretty similar (last time I used gnome it was).
In KDE, go into the configuration sub menu for KDE stuff, and look for window behavior, in there you will find settings for window placement. There is centered, random, and smart (and another, I think).
If you need the exact menu path, etc. to get there, let me know and I will double-check.
Okhay thx!! Lemme check!! Since I am lazy!! I might nit find it!!Any how will try!!
If I can't Will get back !!
I am back Buddy !! Thougt I am lazy!! I did look arounf Kcontrol and found window behaviour under Desktop and I don't seem to find what I am looking for.. I don't see any option !!And for u kind info I have two eyes :-)
But very lazy hehe
Under window behavior, click the "Moving" tab and the options are in the dropdown box "placement"
Hey Thx!!! Found that But the prob is it does not work!!
I did choose that option.. even restart xfs but still does not work!!
I am using RHL 9.0
Thx God, not everyone in the world is lazy!!!
I'd try switching to another placement option and then change it back. If that doesnt work, I dont know. I stopped using redhat a long time ago because of abnormal behavior and difficulty keeping the system running and difficulty of installation of new packages.
Lemme try!!!
Same!! May be I should changed to a diff distro too!!
Coz my eyes are tired having to look at the top left corner of the screen every time i start an App...

"My goal in each and every case is to provide my client with high-quality legal services at an affordable cost. Deserving folks are denied equal access to justice by the high cost of legal services." – Rob Hurley
My name is Rob Hurley. I have been a Chicago divorce and family law attorney for over 25 years.
Everyone who is considering a divorce has two important questions: 1) How much is this going to cost me? and 2) How long will it take before I am divorced?
CONTESTED DIVORCE: I charge by the hour for my services. I will ask you, as my client, to pay a retainer for my services to begin work on your case, and then I will bill you by the hour for my work, deducting the fees from your retainer as I earn them. The total amount that I will charge you for a contested divorce will depend on how many hours of work are required for me to bring your case to a conclusion. This will depend on many factors, including the complexity of the issues and your spouse's willingness – or stubborn refusal – to negotiate a settlement. However, it is my goal to provide you, my client, with low-cost divorce services, so I will always do my best to complete your case as efficiently, quickly and inexpensively as possible. My many years of experience as a family law attorney help make it possible me to achieve this goal for you. I know the law and what is, and what is not, legally possible, and I will advise you accordingly so that we do not waste time and money on objectives that we cannot accomplish. I am a trained mediator, so I possess the negotiation skills necessary to reach a reasonable settlement of your case, if settlement is at all possible. And, when necessary, I am a tough litigator and an experienced trial attorney who will fight hard to accomplish your objectives if we cannot settle your case and must go to trial.
UNCONTESTED DIVORCE: I can quote you a flat fee for your divorce if it is clear that it will be a simple, uncontested divorce, which means that you and your spouse have agreed to all the terms of the divorce, including child custody, child support, visitation, property division, payment of debts and any and all other issues. Otherwise, if there are any contested issues, I will charge you by the hour for my services as I've described above.
The answer to this question is very similar to what I wrote above about the total cost of your divorce. The length of time that it will take to finish your case will depend on the complexity of the issues and your spouse's willingness or unwillingness to negotiate a settlement. If child custody and/or visitation are issues in your case, if we must engage in discovery to find all of your marital assets so that the Court will award you all of the property to which you are entitled, if your spouse engages in delay tactics, if your case must go to trial because we cannot settle the case, or if any number of other difficulties arise in your case, then it can take many months or longer to bring your case to a conclusion. However, once again, my goal is to provide you with low-cost divorce services, so I will always do whatever I can to bring your case to a just conclusion as quickly and as inexpensively as possible.

QUETTA, Dec 24: Balochistan Assembly Speaker Aslam Bhootani said on Monday he might move court if "unconstitutional voting" on a no-confidence motion against him was held in the provincial assembly on Wednesday.
Addressing a press conference, he said the Constitution had been violated while presenting the motion. "The motion was presented against me after I took the stand that since the Supreme Court has declared the Balochistan government unconstitutional, I will not preside over the assembly session until the status of the provincial government is not clear."
Mr Bhootani said that Chief Minister Aslam Raisani was backing the movers of the motion. "The tactics of the Balochistan government will not deter me from my principled stand."
He said that according to Rule 11 a member could give a no-trust motion notice under Article 53 Sub-clause 7, but in his case the senior minister gave the notice to the assembly secretary. According to rules and regulations of the assembly, only a member could move a no-trust motion against the speaker and a minister had no right to table it because members did not include the chief minister, speaker, deputy speaker and ministers, he added.
Mr Bhootani said voting on a no-trust motion could not be held during a assembly session called by the governor on the advice of the chief minister because only the speaker was "entitled under Article 54, Sub-Clause (3) of the Constitution to call in session of the assembly on the matter of no-trust motion".
In reply to a question, Mr Bhootani said he would not attend the ongoing session of the assembly because he did not recognise the Raisani government as constitutional and legal.
He said Deputy Speaker Syed Matiullah Agha had given a wrong ruling that the assembly secretary had nothing to do with the voting process. "It is the assembly secretary who shall serve notices on members about the motion."
He said the Raisani government had lost the right to govern because the Supreme Court had declared it unconstitutional.
He said 32 legislators were present in the 65-member assembly when the no-trust motion against him was tabled while under the rules no voting could be held until all members were informed about the move.He said the voting on the motion could not be held because the assembly secretariat had not dispatched notices to any member so far.

Tom Cruise 'struggles with Suri separation'
Tom Cruise has reportedly been telling friends he has to see his daughter soon.
The American actor is currently based in London, where he is preparing for his new action movie All You Need Is Kill.
Following his high-profile split from Katie Holmes, his ex-wife currently has sole custody of their six-year-old daughter Suri. Tom is reportedly struggling with being separated from his child.
"I've got to see her. I miss her," People magazine quotes Tom as telling a pal.
"Several sources tell PEOPLE… that the actor's rigorous film commitments - which he made well before his ex, Katie Holmes, filed for divorce - have presented an exceptional challenge in terms of seeing Suri," the publication adds.
Suri is currently based in New York City, where she is enrolled at Manhattan's exclusive Avenues school.
The rigid structure of her days mean there is little time for Suri to pay her father a visit on set.
However, the star is making every effort to speak to his daughter on the phone regularly.
"I can tell you that I haven't had a meeting with Tom that was not interrupted by a phone call with his daughter," explained his friend, screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie.

Once we head into Sunday, sunshine moves back in and stays with us through Monday!

Positive second-quarter results continue
On August 4, BNP Paribas announced a €1.6 billion net profit for the second quarter, representing a 6.6% rise from €1.51 billion recorded in the same quarter in 2008. The firm's investment banking business was the most profitable area, with a pre-tax profit of €1.15 billion.
The bank also received €261 million from its acquisition of Fortis, which was completed in May. However, as a result of the acquisition, the firm also incurred charges of €4.1 billion in writing off goodwills and intangible assets, and fair-value adjustments on assets and liabilities, as well as €3.2 billion in additional provisions for credit risks. The firm also lost €237 million as a result of the revaluation of its own debt.
UK bank Barclays also had a profitable second quarter, with the bulk of the revenue generated by its investment banking business, Barclays Capital. On August 3, the bank announced a net profit of £2.34 billion for the first half of the year, up 10% from £2.13 billion in the previous year.
Barclays Capital saw pre-tax profits double to £1.05 billion from £524 million in the same period in 2008. The investment bank's fixed-income, currency and commodities business had an income of £7.89 billion compared with £3.74 billion in the previous half year in 2008. Income from the bank's equities and prime brokerage services rose to £1.63 billion from £631 million, as a result of its acquisition of Lehman Brothers' US business.
The investment bank also suffered credit market writedowns of £4.68 billion, which included £1.17 billion of impairments and a loss of £893 million on holdings of its own credit compared with a gain of £852 million in the year before.
On August 3, another London-based firm, HSBC, also posted a profit. However, its pre-tax profit shrank to $5.02 billion for the first half of 2009 from $10.25 billion in the same period last year.
Profits were driven by its global banking and markets businesses, which reported a pre-tax profit of $6.3 billion, more than double the figure for the previous year. In addition, commercial banking delivered a pre-tax profit of $2.4 billion in the first half of 2009.
The bank blamed the collapse in its overall profits largely on changes in credit spreads, which incurred a $2.5 billion loss for the firm, compared with a gain of $8 million in the previous year.
Standard Chartered, which also has its global headquarters in London, announced its results on August 4, posting a pre-tax profit of $2.84 billion for the first half of 2009, up 10% from $2.59 billion in the same period in 2008. The most profitable businesses were wholesale banking and consumer banking.
However, the bank also suffered impairment losses on loans and advances and other credit risk provisions of $1.09 billion, more than double the $465 million seen in 2008.
In parallel with its results, the firm also announced it would raise approximately £1 billion through an accelerated book-build. "We are strong and with more capital we will be even stronger," the bank explained.
Swiss bank UBS recorded a second-quarter loss attributable to shareholders of Sfr1.40 billion ($1.32 billion), the bank's third successive quarterly loss.
The firm attributed the negative result to a Sfr1.21 billion charge on its own credit, restructuring charges of Sfr582 million and a goodwill impairment charge of Sfr492 million related to the sale of UBS Pactual, the bank's Latin American business. Excluding these factors, the bank would have posted a pre-tax profit of Sfr971 million, it said.
The investment bank, which has been the main source of UBS's losses in the past few quarters, recorded a pre-tax loss of Sfr1.85 billion, down from the Sfr3.16 billion loss for the first quarter.

text: I've been using the 2:2:100 mix as I do Kallitypes. However, the series I'm working on is a still-life with white background and I've been getting inconsistencies in the white. I had read that this is an issue with pyro, and that Sandy King suggest using a more dilute ratio with longer times and less agitation ("minimal agitation") I've also been getting a fairly high general stain and understand that using more A solution (reducer) helps reduce the B+F general stain. So, if I'm now using 2:2:100 at 73 degrees for 12 minutes. What would be my time be for say 3:2:200? Double? And the agitation every 3 minutes? I would really appreciate any suggestions for dilution, time and agitation. I should also say that this is 120 roll film. I have been printing onto x-ray dupe film for the enlarged negative. thanks, david
