|Sticky Tag:
Clean-up stat-related FFI. * code/clisp-ffi.lisp (stat): In 32 bit version, rename fields for consistency with glibc. The paddings should be written as 32, not 16 (though thanks to alignment, it doesn't matter). In the IA-64 version of stat, blksize should be 64, and the inode field near the front is the one and only inode field; there isn't one at the tail. In the Cygwin and IA-64 structs, the tail padding array is now expressed with c-array rather than c-array-max.
First cut at IA-64 support. * Makefile (ARCH): New variable, captures output of arch program. Arch, prefixed with "ARCH-" is pushed onto *FEATURES* list. * code/clisp-ffi.lisp (stat): New variant of structure introduced. (stat-ver): Constant removed. (__stat-ver-linux): New constant added, with architecture-dependent value. (stat, fstat, lstat): Use new constant.
* code/clisp-ffi.lisp (readlink): No need to coerce result of readlink-ll to string type. (getcwd): Add comment.
Ported to Cygwin. * code/clisp-ffi.lisp (eval-when): Rename :linux-libc6 feature to just linux. Only push it onto *features* if :cygwin isn't there. Our platform support is restricted to Linux and Cygwin for the time being. (def-libc-call-out): Change macro to handle both Cygwin and Linux. The only difference is the library. (errno-location): Cygwin variant uses __errno function rather than __errno_location. Otherwise it works the same as Linux. (edeadlk, enametoolong, enolck, enosys, enotempty, eloop, ewouldblock): Remove these error constants, since we don't use them anyway and those that exist on Cygwin have different values. (struct dirent): Define Cygwin variant of structure. (readdir): Cygwin variation added. (struct stat): Define Cygwin variant of structure. Small change in Linux variant. (stat, lstat, fstat): Cygwin versions defined. These go to _*64 functions. (sighup, sigint, sigquit, sigill, sigtrap, sigabrt, sigemt, sigfpe, sigkill, sigbus, sigsegv, sigsys, sigpipe, sigalrm, sigterm, sigurg, sigstop, sigtstp, sigcont, sigchld, sigcld, sigttin, sigttou, sigio, sigpoll, sigxcpu, sigxfsz, sigvtalrm, sigprof, sigwinch, siglost, sigusr1, sigusr2): Define for Cygwin. (getcwd-ll): Not specific to Linux, read-time conditional removed.
Bugfix and enhancmenet in new CLISP FFI module. * code/clisp-ffi.lisp (pipe): New call-out function added. (spawn): Fix reversed result comparison. (defpackage): Export some new symbols.
Get rid of the ffi-pointer-null stuff, since c-pointer foreign types are automatically converted to null now. * code/clisp-ffi.lisp (null-pointer-p): Function removed. * code/clisp-unix.lisp (pointer-null, null-to-nil, when-not-null): macros removed. (opendir, closedir): Revert to normal Lisp null checks.
Rewrote the CLISP bindings. The CLISP FFI is used to directly access the glibc shared library on Linux. This completely eliminates the need to create a custom linking set. Meta-CVS can now be built without any C development tools. The downside is that the the FFI definitions are not portable, since they depend on the glibc ABI. Support for other C libraries has to be hacked in the clisp-ffi.lisp module now. The main() hack is gone now too. * code/unix-bindings/link.sh: Removed. * code/unix-bindings/Makefile: Likewise. * code/unix-bindings/wrap.c: Likewise. * code/unix-bindings/unix.lisp: Renamed to code/unix-bindings/clisp-ffi.lisp. Contains revamped FFI definitions targetting Linux glibc. * code/install.sh: Substantially simplified. No longer builds a CLISP linking set. No longer builds the mcvs-upgrade tool, which is not useful any longer. Error tests eliminated with use of ``set -e''. * code/mcvs.lisp: Updated to load everything properly.
Get rid of CLISP 2.27 support. * code/unix-bindings/unix.lisp (null-pointer-p): Function removed. * code/clisp-unix.lisp: The :clisp-old symbol no longer conditionally pushed onto *features* (pointer-null): Just version of the macro present; no more read-time switch.
Merging from mcvs-1-0-branch. * code/unix-bindings/unix.lisp: Get rid of bogus version check which assumes that the version can be read as a floating point number! Rather than rely on the version, check for the specific features.
Merging from mcvs-1-0-branch.
Merging from mcvs-1-0-branch. Improved error handling. Use of tty for user interaction, plus new global option for selecting non-interactive bail behavior. * code/mcvs-main.lisp (*global-options*): add --error-bail option. (*usage*): Describe new option. (mcvs-execute): Dynamically bind *interactive-error-io* variable to a stream formed by opening the controlling tty. Send error message to *error-output* rather than *standard-output*. * code/unix-bindings/unix.lisp (unix-funcs:ctermid): New function, FFI interface to mcvs_ctermid. * code/unix-bindings/wrap.c (mcvs_ctermid): New function. * code/chatter.lisp (chatter): Chatter now goes to *error-output* rather than *standard-output*. * code/error.lisp (*interactive-error-io*): New special variable, holds stream open to controlling tty. (mcvs-terminate): New function. (mcvs-error-handler): Use *interactive-error-io* to print menu and obtain user input. Support the :bail value of *mcvs-error-treatment* Plus some cosmetic changes. * code/options.lisp (filter-mcvs-options): Support --error-bail option. * code/filt.lisp (mcvs-filt-loop): Bugfix, (read-line t ...) should be (read-line *standard-input* ...) because t stands for *terminal-io* rather than *standard-io*, unlike in the format function! * code/rcs-utils.lisp (rcs-read-token): Read from *standard-input* rather than *terminal-io*.
Merging from mcvs-1-0-branch. Fix remaining occurences of SIG_IGN action for SIGCHLD being passed to child processes. * code/unix-bindings/unix.lisp (unix-funcs:default-sigchld): New call out function. * code/clisp-unix.lisp (with-input-from-program, with-output-to-program): Call the new default-sigchild function to set SIGCHILD signal handler to SIG_DFL just before creating the pipe. * code/unix-bindings/wrap.c (mcvs_default_sigchld): New function.
Merging from mcvs-1-0-branch. * code/unix-bindings/impl.c: File renamed to wrap.c. (impl_null_pointer_p, impl_get_errno, impl_set_errno, impl_readdir, impl_readlink, impl_stat, impl_lstat, impl_fstat, impl_getcwd, impl_spawn): Prefix changed from ``impl_'' to ``mcvs_''. * code/unix-bindings/link.sh, code/unix-bindings/Makefile, code/unix-bindings/unix.lisp: Updated accordingly.
Merging from mcvs-1-0-branch. Discontinuing use of CLISP's ext:run-program function in favor of a new workalike which doesn't rely on the shell interpreter. * code/unix-bindings/unix.lisp (unix-funcs:spawn): New C call out function (unix-funcs:run-program): New function, implemented using spawn. * code/unix-bindings/impl.c (impl_spawn): New function; wraps up fork, execvp and waitpid. * code/clisp-unix.lisp: Switch from ext:run-program to unix-funcs:run-program.
Merging from mcvs-1-0-branch. * code/unix-bindings/unix.lisp: Rewrote defpackage to take only selected symbols from CLISP's FFI package rather using the whole thing. FFI, and the packages it uses, are moving targets. The symbol def-c-call-out is interned in unix-funcs. (unix-funcs:def-c-call-out): New internal macro. CLISP says that ffi:def-c-call-out is obsolescent. * code/unix-bindings/Makefile: The ``clean'' target removes unix.lib, not only unix.fas.
Low level support for versioning executable bit. * code/unix-bindings/unix.lisp (unix-funcs:chmod): New callout function. * code/clisp-unix.lisp (executable-p, make-executable, make-non-executable): New generic functions. (executable-p (file-info), make-executable (file-info), make-executable (string), make-non-executable (file-info), make-non-executable (string)): New methods. * code/add.lisp (mcvs-add): Record whether new file is executable or not, by setting executable slot in mapping-entry. * code/create.lisp (mcvs-create): Likewise. * code/sync.lisp (synchronize-files): New parameter, should-be-executable, tells function which way to set permissions after synchronizing files. * code/mapping.lisp (mapping-entry): New slot, executable. (mapping-entry-parse-attributes): New function, parses new optional property list from :FILE entries in a mapping. (mapping-convert-in): Parse property list that may be present in fourth list element of a :FILE entry. (mapping-convert-out): Write out executable flag as :EXEC property, if true. (mapping-synchronize): Pass executable flag down to synchronize-files.
Merging symlink-branch to main trunk.
Use getcwd to to implement mcvs-locate. * code/unix-bindings/unix.lisp (getcwd): New call out, invokes impl_getcwd. * code/unix-bindings/impl.c (impl_getcwd): New function, use getcwd() to obtain current working directory, resizing dynamic buffer if necessary to get the entire path. * code/clisp-unix.lisp (getcwd): New wrapper function. * code/dirwalk.lisp (go-up): Function removed. * code/mapping.lisp (mcvs-locate): Rewritten to obtain path using getcwd, then try looking for MCVS directory in successively shorter prefixes of that path.
Working back support for CLISP 2.27. * code/install.sh: Bogus *null-pointer* hack is no longer added to the generated mcvs script, since we have our own FFI functions for doing the test. * code/unix-bindings/unix.lisp (unix-funcs:null-pointer-p): New function, tests a C pointer for null, returns T or NIL. * code/unix-bindings/impl.c (impl_null_pointer_p): New function, C implementation of unix-funcs:null-pointer-p. * code/clisp-unix.lisp (pointer-null): New macro, uses ffi:foreign-address-null under CLISP 2.28 or greater, or unix-funcs:null-pointer-p, under an older CLISP.
Retargetting CVS with new system call bindings that are not GNU/Linux specific.

You all are my last hope... help!
I bought an Asus G75VW from Best Buy. It has the new UEFI BIOS instead of the old style BIOS (1980's) and has Windows 8 preinstalled.
I cannot get the G75VW to install Ubuntu 12.10 in EFI mode. I did get Ubuntu to load if I changed the BIOS to CSM and the computer sees and installs Ubuntu in "legacy mode". I attempted boot repair, and Ubuntu will load after 1 minute but as legacy BIOS only. If I changed the BIOS to UEFI "Binary is whitelisted" is displayed and I get a purple screen.
My goal... keep my preinstalled Windows 8 on internal drive bay 1 and install Ubuntu 12.10 on internal drive bay 2... and somehow make a choice on which to choose.
I am at a loss. I am a software programmer, but I am very bad at understanding BIOS and partitioning.
Any ideas? Has anyone done what I want to do. This is a full second day on my "issue"! If I cannot get Ubuntu installed, I'm returning the laptop. And "wait" until these obstacles of UEFI/EFI and properly handled to allow people to load EFI based Ubuntu without a hitch.
Thanks, Dave

Mid-America Labor Management Conference's Keynote Speaker Draws Crowd and Connection
The Mid America Labor Management Conference (MALMC) aims to bring together leaders from both labor and management to provide opportunities to build relationships, networks, and new skills. Through subjects like employment law changes, workers' compensation, joint labor management pension issues, economic development tools, and many others, MALMC builds leadership amongst our workforce.
Enter Coach Gary Pinkel, University of Missouri Head Football Coach. Pinkel has led his Tigers to seven straight bowl games, eight overall, including last year's win over North Carolina in the Independence Bowl. Under Coach Pinkel, the Tigers are one of six teams to post at least eight wins in the last six seasons. This is truly a testament to the type of leadership that Pinkel has provided for his players and will continue to provide as the Tigers move into a new conference, the Southeastern Conference (SEC).
"From the custodians to food service to athletic trainers, everyone has a role to play and they need to feel like part of the team if the team is going to win," says Pinkel.
Pinkel was born and raised in Akron, Ohio. He is no stranger to the ways of labor. His father was a long time employee of General Tire, based in Akron. Through his father, Pinkel witnessed the hard work and dedication of an employee and how that has a positive impact on the longevity of a successful business.
As the keynote speaker, Coach Pinkel shared his insight on leadership and management. Year after year, he has been able to lead a diverse group of young men to work for a common goal. Labor and Management leaders quickly made the connection between the challenges of running a successful business and building a successful sports team.
"Coach Pinkel really built up the momentum for the conference and provided a lot of great advice that can be used for any organization or business," says Larry Rebman, Director of the Missouri Department of Labor.For more about MALMC and other guest speakers, visit our website.

ORA-31112: fail to unregister for HTTP port using xdb configurationis caused by a port conflict, i. e. another service is already using port 8080 (or whatever non-default value you may have chosen in your install). Because of that error I'm not sure the database homepage you see is the one that belongs to the XE instance we are talking about. Are you really sure it's up?
Can someone let me know if the default Oracle XE Database install uses oracle database for the authentication? I doubt it tries to use OS authentication, by default.Actually, it uses both for default on Linux systems: You can login as sysdba without providing a username or password using
to the database your local enviroment points at. If you get "insufficient privileges", this usually means the dba-group isn't set properly or you've disabled OS-based authentication.
sqlplus / as sysdba
(note that you don't need to add the service name XE unless you want to connect using a certain TNS Listener)
sqlplus /nolog
connect sys/password as sysdba
If this doesn't work, could you take a look at the non-binary part of the following file:
source /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/oracle_env.sh
sqlplus / as sysdba
My company does have Oracle support, is there some place/person I could contact at Oracle for additional help?Sorry, you won't get official support for XE. If you encounter such problem for your regular supported database products, you'll probably first be pointed at some general documents that basically encourage you to do the things we have requested to do as well. But you can search the knowledge base and try to find additional ressources on how to troubleshoot ORAs 01017 and 01031...
Hope that helps.

Great show, the part about the textbooks that the students would be allowed to keep was very interesting. I wish I would have had something like that during high-school, and being able to get books that cheaply in college would be wonderful.
The caller threatening violence made me laugh. Not only could he not identify any sort of specific instance in which Matt was wrong about the bible. He made himself out to be the intolerant one when it is supposed to be the atheists who are militant and mean spirited, at least according to many theists. Id have to rank him right up there with the kid who called Matt a "fucking asshole" and the guy that called Matt the devil as some of my favorite callers who behaved like morons.
Mr. punch you in the face got me thinking. What was the source of his anger? It didn't seem that he could be angry about what you were saying, as it had hardly been a show filled with too much religious ridicule. It seemed to me that he was so mad that the points you were making hit a little too close to home and he responded very predictably in the face of his core beliefs being challenged.

…at least for the last month of 2011, anyway.
Surgeries are planned for Casey Blake and Juan Uribe in the coming weeks, with Blake scheduled for a neck operation on Tuesday and Uribe receiving a second opinion before undergoing a procedure to repair a sports hernia.
Whereas Conte described Blake's surgery as inevitable, Uribe's was something the Dodgers wanted to avoid.
"We think there is a slight tear and a nerve entrapped there," Conte said. "There were two ways to go about this. One was to inject the area, see if it would heal, rest it and progressively get him back."
That course of treatment appeared to be working — until Monday, when Uribe felt pain when sprinting.
"That told us the conservative approach was probably not going to work," Conte said. "We suggested he get surgery."
Conte said Uribe is on board with the plan.
"He would have a normal off-season," Conte said.
Uribe ends his first season as a Dodger with a horrifically disappointing .204/.264/.294 line and nearly as many stints on the disabled list (two) as homers (four). The resulting .204 TAv is ahead of only Paul Janish, Alexis Rios, and Chone Figgins – that's right, even worse than Adam Dunn – among the 233 big leaguers with as many plate appearances as Uribe had. (For the record, wOBA agrees, tying him for fourth with Rios, though also putting him ahead of Franklin Gutierrez.) It's almost like you shouldn't have given $21m to a 31-year-old coming off two one-year contracts totaling $4.2m, right?
No matter how you slice it, Uribe's Dodger debut was an absolute disaster – but hey, at least he's still got $15m more coming to him over the next two years plus a $1m bonus in 2014. It's not even fun to apply actual analysis to Uribe's season, so let's instead delve into hilarious facts that exist concerning him:
1) Nearly eight years ago, he was traded straight-up for current teammate Aaron Miles. No, really.
2) The most Uribe-related fun we had this entire season was with a never-true-and-quickly-refuted rumor that the Giants might actually have been interested in taking him back in July.
3) There's an entire Tumblr dedicated to how sad Juan Uribe makes everyone.
4) The best part of Uribe's baseball-reference Similarity Score list is not that it's a who's-who of mediocre middle infielders over the last 20 years (Robby Thompson, Jeff Blauser, Jose Hernandez, Felipe Lopez, etc.) but that both Alex Gonzalezes make the list.
Don't come back, Juan. We won't miss you. Still, the fact that Uribe and Blake officially admit defeat on the same day does serve as a poetic reminder of what really had the most damaging effect on this club – that the original starting infield of James Loney, Uribe, Rafael Furcal, and Blake started just two games together, both in April.
One of my favorite Twitter feeds is that of Matthew Kaminski, aka @BravesOrganist, who plays the keys in Atlanta. He's often coming up with clever songs to play for opposing players as they walk up to the plate, and with the Dodgers in town this weekend, he needs our help:
#Braves vs. #Dodgers – any song ideas for the Dodgers' players?
Hit him up on Twitter or leave your best ideas here. The Mighty Mouse theme for Miles? "Cryin'" for Andre Ethier? The possibilities are endless.

Your best bet is to get someone from your area for a estimate. It's impossible for someone to give an estimate without a on site look, sorry.
I know there are tons of variables with any job, but I'm just looking for a ballpark cost estimate for a licensed plumber to do this, and I know the actual cost can be outside of whatever range of answers are provided.
I'm converting a half bath to a full bath (just a shower).
What is a ball park cost estimate for the rough-in plumbing only for changing the exiting toilet plumbing to shower plumbing, leaving the sink plumbing where it is, but replacing the supply lines and drain lines with new, and adding toilet plumbing in a new location?
Other pertinent facts:
This is not a large bathroom (maybe 10' by 7' overall).
First floor bathroom with crawl space access (approx. 2 to 3 ft clearance in crawl space).
Vent is at sink.
40 yr old house, so 4" and 2" drain lines are cast iron (but will only be replaced where necessary)
Sheetrock and flooring has been stripped, so easy access for drilling / installation.
Thanks for your help. Again, I'm only looking for a BALLPARK cost for the rough-in plumbing so that I can budget the overall cost of the remodel.
Your best bet is to get someone from your area for a estimate. It's impossible for someone to give an estimate without a on site look, sorry.
Oh I don't know Shacko, for a half a million I would tackle it without having a look see
Perception is 3/4 of reality
Here's how you can figure it. Count all the money you have then double it...plus parts.
There is no "ballpark" estimate which could come anywhere close to the actual cost. There are so many variables that trying to anticipate all of them, without seeing the actual job, would escalate the price to the point where you might thing we were giving you the price to DO a ballpark.
No one has wanted to hazard a dollar amount. Sometimes, we will, But you are talking about putting a toilet in a different location. No idea about joists, wall access for vents.....etc.

Ok, so i was looking for a software compibility patch for my iphone 1.1.4 and i found this thing in cydia called firmware that allowed me to change to any firmware i had wanted to. OK, so i went on the app after installing it and selected the firmware 2.0. It said successful and i pressed ok. So, after that i went back to the home screen and turned off my iphone. When i turned my iphone back on there was the apple logo and then after the logo came up a black screen with all these white words filling the screen and my home button wouldnt function at all, nothing would! Then i presses the button on the top and the home button together and it finally shut off, but whenever i turn on my iphone 1.1.4 the same thing happens and when i connect it to itunes, itunes doesnt recognize it so when i restart it again and the apple logo is displayed i plug my iphone in and itunes makes it go into recovery mode and when i shut it off and dissconnect the same black screen with words appear!!!

"Just spent a brilliant break at Le Moulin Neuf and our host Robert recomended one of the best restaurants we ate at during our 11 day vacation in France. We found the local knowldege of restaurants to be one of the best aspects of staying in a B&B and this was also one of the most picturesque we came across. Robert is an excellent host and made our stay extremely pleasant. Well worth a visit!"

ANA Partners with EF Education First

Collection will help academics to understand how people learn
Cambridge University is to fund a unique project that uses millions of words from thousands of students at the world's biggest online language school to work out one of the 21st century's billion-dollar questions: how people learn foreign languages.
The Isaac Newton Trust, set up by Cambridge's Trinity College, has announced a grant to the EF Research Unit – jointly established in 2010 between Cambridge University and EF Education First, one of the world's leading international education companies. The Trust, named after the Trinity scholar who transformed global science in the seventeenth century, has already funded research into an exciting range of areas, including peace-making, biofuels, and tropical forest conservation.
Dr. Dora Alexopoulou, Senior Research Associate and head of the Unit, said: "Trinity College has educated many of the world's greatest communicators, including the poet Lord Byron and the computer pioneer Charles Babbage. We are proud to be able to continue this tradition of communication, through the generous grant of the Newton Trust."
The grant funding from the Trust will support the development of the EF-Cambridge learner corpus of English, an electronic database based on samples of spoken and written language production from thousands of EF students around the world and on Englishtown.com, an EF subsidiary and the world's largest online language school. The Trust's grant will allow the EF Research Unit to employ a specialist researcher in computational linguistics for two years to complement the on-going work of the team of applied linguists. This will help turn the database into a widely available resource which top academics across the world can use to work out how humans learn English – the most commonly studied foreign language in the world. The EF Research Unit is also looking into expanding the database to include samples of children's second language production, working with students, teachers and parents across the EF network of schools worldwide.
Dr. Christopher McCormick, EF's Vice President for Academic Affairs and head of the EF-Cambridge University research collaboration, said: "We are thrilled to have this important area of research recognized by the prestigious Isaac Newton Trust. EF offers extensive access to learners from a wide range of linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Insights gained into how these individuals make progress in English over time will advance our understanding of second language acquisition and lead to more efficient learning, teaching and assessment."The EF Research Unit is part of Cambridge University's Research Centre for English and Applied Linguistics. The Newton Trust gives grants to promote learning, research and education within Cambridge University.
Established in 1965 with the mission to "break down barriers in language, culture, and geography", EF is the world's leading international education company. EF has helped over 15 million students to learn a new language and travel abroad. With a network of 400 schools and offices worldwide, including the world's largest online English school (www.englishtown.com), EF specializes in language training, educational travel, academic degrees, and cultural exchange programs. In 2011 EF published the ground-breaking English Proficiency Index (www.ef.com/epi ), the first study to measure the English ability of adults. For more information, please see www.ef.com.

You heard him perform it live at the 3rd year anniversary, now own a piece of Redshape at home. His sophomore album 'Square' continues in the vein of his elegant yet rugged house/techno, orchestrated in outer-space, future-baroque tones and percussive layers.
Faceless techno bollocks. In 2010, Richard Brophy wrote this bit of a primer on the resurgence of 'anonymous' producers, striving to re-establish focus on the "music and not (their) personalities", in the same way that founding fathers like Underground Resistance and Basic Channel did. Now letting their music speak for itself is all well and good - up to the point of what the article counters as "anti-marketing marketing", an idea mooted by technoscribe Dan Sicko along with his discussion of UR's mysterious image as a strong selling point.
This 'mysterious image' is, paradoxically, the problem here. It leads to focus being split between music and the mystery of anything from folkloric backstories and bizarre press shots to stage costumes and of course, masks. The donning of a disguise is the staging of personality, and when rendered iconic, becomes less anonymous than a human face. The overall effect goes deeper than mere curiosity. Do masks provide the veneer of music vigilantism? Lend themselves to cultish, unthinking adulation? Or more alarmingly, grant the musician immunity to works of poor quality?
Quality, most thankfully, stands the true test of time. Think the inimitable Daft Punk - or abominable Bloody Beetroots. Only one of the duos will be remembered for a very long time - that much is clear. Still under contention, however, are a host of present-day figures including SBTRKT, Rivet, um, Deadmau5, and of more immediate concern here/soon, Redshape.
He of the crimson camouflage, so often deferred to by reviewers as a 'masked marauder/crusader', has endured a little longer than his contemporaries, having debuted in 2006 with a heavily Detroit/Carl Craig-indebted modus operandi. Square marks Redshape's sophomore LP effort, and continues in the vein of his elegant yet rugged house/techno, orchestrated in outer-space, future-baroque tones and percussive layers.
Redshape's ideas are at their most scattered and wide-ranging here, but as per techno convention, this remains an album of alternately club-ready and bedroom material. The ambient segues, however, are where things get interesting. Short as they are, 'Landing' and 'Departing' provide Square's real moments of escapism, transcending their filmic, interstellar nuances to reach deep into cerebral recesses, evoking the best of The Black Dog and Vangelis while at it.
Speaking of astral travels, Spaceape, also known as Kode9's comrade in sonic warfare, shows up toasting doom on the lumbering half-step swerve of 'Until We Burn'. It's a pleasant surprise, if a little manufactured for 'bass music' relevance circa 2012. A typical case of Redshaped unorthodoxy? Most likely, seeing how the album closer that follows soon after is vintage him in every sense of the word. 'The Playground (Square Version)' is a refix of one of his very first tracks, and replaces the computer engineered elements from 2006 with full-bodied live instrumentation. It's still a mover, though, and seems to signify that all wormholes and hyperdrives lead back to the dancefloor.
Taken together, Square represents yet another meticulous creation by the German enigma - albeit already outed as one Sebastian Kramer of early 2000s hard-looped techno. He's done plenty to shake off his past and prove the myriad capabilities of the genre, and we're thoroughly convinced - but by the music or by the mask? Never mind the bollocks, here's another step to a bona fide legacy.

Day Spas >Voda Spa
7700 Santa Monica Blvd., West Hollywood, CA | Directions 9004634.090514 -118.356605
Mon-Fri 10am-12am

Neighborhoods: Central LA, West Hollywood
I've been to a lot of relaxing spas, none of which were as good as this one. Voda Spa has the whole package. They have a big swimming pool, a jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, a bar, a restaurant, masseuse, and much more! I come here at least once a month.
AMAZING Spa Experience!!! – My wife and I visited Voda Spa this past weekend while visiting from Portland, OR for her birthday. It had been recommended to us by a friend who lives in LA. I have not spent much time in spas, and wasn't really sure what to expect. Fortunately, I was put at ease immediately. After checking in, staff showed us to our lockers and gave us the low-down. We spent some time in the common pool/hot tub area soaking and making forays into the various steam and dry sauna rooms. There was even a separate TV room for keeping an eye on the football score - a much-appreciated touch. The atmosphere was very casual and relaxed. My wife and I enjoyed the co-ed nature so that we could be together and talk while we soaked. HOWEVER, the most amazing part of the experience was the "Venik and Platza." This is the "massage" performed in a super-hot sauna where you are vigorously massaged (I had imagined getting whipped, that's really not what it is) by branches of various types. You then plunge into a cold pool to finish it off. Relaxing in the warm pool after, the feeling is amazing. The staff came out after and explained the science behind the process - fascinating. Despite the fact that my wife and I were both pretty exhausted going in, we emerged completely re-vitalized. A nice shot of vodka in the bar afterwards (including more TVs with the game on) was just the perfect thing to finish it all off. The entire staff - from the masseuse to the bar tender - were all impeccably professional and friendly. An amazing experience and the highlight of our trip to LA. Highly recommended.
Best Spa in L.A. – Voda Spa is an amazing experience. My wife and I usually don't do spas much these days, now that we are parents. But, when we need to feel re-energized from working too much or just dealing daily life stresses....we go to Voda Spa. We love to get the "Platza" because it's unique,but especially because we get to hang out with eachother, and my wife loves the poolside mud mask too.
relaxing – im verry comfortable in this spa, i really like this place. i relax and i feel good while i visit this Voda spa. the service is excellent the crew are friendly.
Wanna get athletes foot? Come to Voda – This place is terrible. They don't clean much, and it is like a revolving door for the therapists. It is owned by people affiliated with criminals and has been sited for prostitution. Not to mention there was a guy there I saw with the worst case of athletes foot I ever saw, and he was wandering around without his slippers. Eeeeeeeeecccccckkk. It used to be a crematorium supposedly and gives me the creeps. Word is among the therapists is to stay away. Run the other direction. I get the heeby jeebies just driving past.
Martinis + Manis + Movies! – Imagine a place where you can drink unlimited martinis, get a mani, AND watch a movie at the same time. All this is possible at Voda Spa on their martinis, manis, and movies night, which they host every Wednesday. It's a great a way to celebrate a birthday with friends or just have fun after work on a weeknight. The atmosphere is sleek and spacious, yet very cozy. It's not as Zen-like as some other day spas, but it's good for groups. In fact, this place is more of a "night" spa than a "day" spa because it seems to be more fun at night. In addition to martinis, you can also get great spa food. I especially liked their grilled tequila chicken breast panini sandwich. As for the mani, I got my nails done by Jamie, who was very friendly and did an impeccable job. Everyone else at the spa was friendly also. I plan on going back for more martinis, manis, and movies at Voda.
An Amazing Spa Experience – I had the best time here. My girlfriends threw the first part of my bachelorette party here a few weeks ago. What an amazing place. They couldn't have picked a better venue. The spa is very modern and contemporary with a European feel. It's not crowded and not commercial like other spas can be. We started off with a spa lunch and martinis in their cafe. The staff/waitress was very pleasant. The owner made himself known to us and he was so kind. A very friendly man who welcomed us. My manicure was amazing as well as my 50 minute relaxation massage. I've had both treatments at many places, but this was just perfect. My french mani was very carefully done, and the massage pressure was perfect. We all got a tour of the spa and it is unlike any spa in LA. The steam rooms and saunas each have a different name and have a different temperature ranging from the mid 200 degrees to the mid 100 degrees. I love that the pools (hot tub, pool and ice bath) are all co-ed so it's a perfect place for couples to enjoy. I had a wonderful experience from entering through the doors to the moment we left. Thank you for an amazing experience. I will definitely be back!"
FANTASTIC SPA – I have to say I spent over five hours there in complete pampered bliss! Massages,Facials, yummy food, VIP room, wonderful staff, clean environment, fantastic cocktails and the list goes on! I recommended this place to everyone you will love it, I'm going to make it a monthly thing to come to VODA SPA.
FANTASTIC SPA – My first time at Voda Spa was this weekend. I had an amazing time. Had a delicious lunch in the lounge and fantastic drinks in the bar. My massage and body scrub by Alex was fantastic....I can hardly wait for another massage with her. The facial is amazing and after your skin is so radiant. I can see myself going once a month for a facial at Voda Spa. The Platza is so unique and after the treatment you feel so invigorated. We were all treated so well by all the staff. I cannot say enough good things about my experience. When you walk into the Spa you just say WOW. The spa is absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend Voda Spa to anyone looking for a great experience. I will definitely be back!!!!
Wonderful – Went to Voda with a co-ed group and had a phenomenal time. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The therapists are talented and definitely earn their keep. The spa menu has lots of really unique options--like the platza--that make it a real treat. It may be one of the best spa experiences I've ever had. Thank you, Rose, for an awesome massage! And thank you VodaSpa for a great day.

Tough times have forced the Parlier Police to get creative in their effort to keep the community safe. Due to budget cuts in March, the department has been reduced from 14 sworn officers to 10.
CBS47 took a ride with Officer Robert McGuire. He likes to begin his shift by patrolling the perimeter of Parlier.
"Just to get a feel for what's going on. Especially on a Friday or Saturday night when you know there's going to be parties or something is going to be happening," said Officer Robert McGuire of the Parlier Police Dept.
Getting a lay of the land is critical, especially with fewer officers on the streets. Despite community protest four months ago, the city chose to lay off 30% of its officers in an effort to save money.
Parlier is a place with a good share of gangs, guns, drugs and occasional violence, but according to Chief David Cerda, his department is weathering this storm pretty well.
"You know we haven't seen a significant increase in gang activity in our community. I think that's a big attribute to our officers' dedication to keeping that community safe," said Parlier Police Chief David Cerda.
Officers are now more strategic than ever. Patrols cars are constantly on the move to stay visible.
"You've got to make yourself seem like there are more of you than there really are to deter anything bad from happening," said McGuire.
The department leans on resources like the internet for folks to report certain crimes rather than have an officer respond. There's a $100,000 gang grant which allows Parlier Police to team up with other agencies for extra firepower. They also rely on the experience of veteran officers when investigating crimes.
"We kind of know who we're going after and who to look at as far as possible suspects," said McGuire.
There may be less help which makes the job more difficult, but officers can't afford to focus on the negatives.
"Our main duty is to protect lives and property and that's what we'll strive to do," said McGuire.
The city also laid off three people in the police department's office, so it's getting help from volunteers called Citizens on Patrol. You can get involved as a volunteer by calling (559) 646-6600. You can also download an application by clicking the link listed above.

Imagine building a portfolio of documented accomplishment as a complement to your academic experience. During a job interview, you can demonstrate how you served in a leadership position for the largest collegiate business student organization in the world. At the same time, you will have entered one or more professional competitive events where you have finished as the very best in the nation.
If you are interested in developing leadership, communication, and team skills, or simply looking for an organization to meet and network with others at the local, state, or national levels; PBL is the organization for you.
Meet student and business leaders from across the country - join the Faulkner PBL today!
Students were given a glimpse of how the principles they are learning are put into practice in an everyday business setting. Bowersock praised Faulkner's ethics-based education.
Mr. Bowersock reminded students of the Core Leadership values: Courage, Integrity, Respect, Knowledge, Inspiration and Vision. He also gave students advice on understanding the financial aspects of a business that you wish to be involved with.
"Results matter, but how you get there is more important," said Bowersock. "Companies are not tolerating those who plow through and leave a trail of dead bodies behind them. In your business and in your personal life, focusing on doing right will keep your career on the right path for the long run." Finally, Mr. Bowersock encouraged students to be willing to take risks, to be adaptable, and to develop critical thinking skills while in college in an effort to better prepare themselves for the corporate world.
Mr. Haseltine encouraged the students to "be passionate about something." Mr. Haseltine highlighted his career from the White House Communications staff to the Director of Public Relations of Hyundai. Through his discussion he encouraged students to do their homework for job interviews and remember that the resume simply gets you the interview not the job.
Mr. Haseltine shared many facts about Hyundai Motor with specific emphasis on the team concept of employment. Hyundai does not have employees; they have teammates. This concept encourages all workers to take ownership of the production process.
Mrs. Martha Hawkins brought cake and many words of wisdom to Faulkner College of Business students. Mrs. Hawkins shared her life journey with students and faculty and reminded everyone to always "dream big and dream with God." "With determination, a vision, and God," Mrs. Hawkins said, "the sky is the limit." Mrs. Hawkins revealed that she started from nothing and a near suicide and became a successful business woman who has appeared on Night Line with Ted Koppel, in the Oprah magazine, and in Southern Living magazine.
"Do what you do with all your heart, be passionate and make it happen. Ask God to give you wisdom and vision. "
Arnelle Adcock's presentation to the faculty and students of the college of business included two main points. First, "Focus on what you love to do." Do not do what you can but do what you love. Second, Ms. Adcock encouraged the students to become a leader and to recognize the difference in a leader and a manager. She reminded the students that manager takes care of the mission while a leader has a vision of what things can become. Leaders encourage and enable people and the department to succeed. She emphasized the need for business leaders to have character and trust while "doing and the right things right."
Ms. Adcock explained how a cooperative business model is different from a corporation, with insight into the daily business of the Central Alabama Electrical Cooperative. She explained that a cooperative is built on a value structure, accountability, and trust. Cooperatives thrive on developing the capacity of the community in which they serve. Cooperatives are designed to please all members because members own the company.
Audra Malone visited Faulkner University at the request of Phi Beta Lambda to give her insight to the job market and provide helpful job hunting tips to the students. Mrs. Malone explained the resume database system that JobInAL.com provides potential employees and employers. Each potential employee has a career agent with the web site that helps search for jobs meeting your criteria. Databases such as this one are being used by 73% of recruiters to search for employees.
Job hunting skills that were discussed included, keeping your resume up-to-date, making your resume key word friendly, and speak the language of the potential employers. Provide an executive summary, two sentences, about you at the beginning of the resume. Mrs. Malone encouraged students to take advantage of the career placement office of the university.
Mrs. Malone also offered helpful hints to writing effective resumes. She encouraged the students to limit work history to the most recent, relevant jobs. Mrs. Malone covered all sections of the resume with emphasis on the objective and education sections. Expert research indicates that resumes should be limited to two pages. The importance of formatting each resume to fit the job you are seeking was emphasized as well as the inclusion of key words as a method of getting resumes noticed.
Mr. Harris began his talk with this statement... "I have not done anything but be blessed tremendously by God."
Mr. Harris gave several keys to his success over the years:
Mr. Harris offered a great insight to becoming a highly successful entrepreneur. Mr. Harris' overall theme of his discussion was faith in God and making hard work your priorities.
Mr. Tommy Lowery shared with the students his business philosophy, striving to be number one in service, quality, and efficiency. Competing with Starbucks has been a challenge but with much prayer and hard work God has brought the company through the rough times. Mr. Lowery offered much insight to the concepts of becoming a franchising business. Village Coffee is now being franchised in several states across the country. Mr. Lowery explained the franchising concept from the marketing to the financing. Village Coffee is becoming a highly successful business with sales and revenues of two million dollars this last year. Mr. Lowery was able to give students information beyond the textbooks about starting your own business and franchising business as well.
Mr. Kerley centered his talk on "seize the moment when given an opportunity." Education is a big deal and good grades are essential to getting the right interview and ultimately the best job. Mr. Kerley encouraged the students to remember three things:
Mr. Kerley's success came from working for one company. He encouraged the students to get experience in a good company and to be willing to move around within the company. He stated, "Commitment to a company pays off in the end." Finally, he reminded the students to work hard, get the right results, and through prayer God will lead you in the right direction and give you strength and courage to be successful.

Caterers are people who arrange the preparation and presentation of food for clients, as well as having the responsibility for the delivery of the food. Some caterers organize large events, including not only the food and drink, but also the decorations, dance floors, tables, chairs, music and lighting.
Catering is one of the fastest growing fields in Europe, Canada, and the United States. This field has continued to grow year after year, with many job openings appearing yearly.
Catering as an industry also has representation in a Union. The International Union of Food, Agricultural, Hotel, Restaurant, Catering, Tobacco, and Allied Workers' Association was founded in 1920, having been created from the original International Federation of Tobacco Workers. As of 2005, the IUF encompassed organizations in 120 countries and represents over 12 million workers worldwide.
Sokanu matches you to one of over 500 careers by analyzing your personality, interests, and needs in life. Take the free assessment now to see your top career recommendations!
There are three main types of caterers which include:
Caterers of each type meet a variety of needs for their clients. Note that in some cases, dietary and religious needs may play a part in the event being catered and need to be carefully observed.
Mobile Caterers - will often be found at a fair, a street corner, a food and drink trailer at a construction site, in a shopping mall kiosk or food court, and sometimes in the lobbies of some businesses. These types of Caterers offer pre-packaged items ranging from sandwiches to salads and may even deliver meals for business clientele too busy to leave their office for lunch.
Hotel/Restaurant Caterers - are often liaisons between the client and the kitchen staff, planning events. Their responsibilities include menu preparation, banquet arrangement, table set-up, and delivery of decorations, as well as arranging for extra service personnel as needed.
Private Caterers - own their own businesses, contracting vendors as needed. These Caterers are often hired for wedding receptions, birthday parties, business and personal anniversaries, business holiday events, and retirement parties, as well as many other events. They are responsible for all aspects of each occasion including menus, plate and dinnerware rental, and arranging for the appropriate wait staff. They are also often responsible for arranging a clean-up crew to come in after the event has ended.
Catering requires a strong work ethic, as well as patience, excellent communication and supervisory skills, and devotion to detail. Excellent organizational skills, as well as fiscal responsibility will aid Caterers to become successful in their chosen field.
Many legal points will need to be met by Caterers as well. These include a health permit, liability insurance, and the appropriate business permits required by your state, province or country. A client will not wish to hire a Caterer who does not hold proper insurance and permits.
As well, a clear knowledge of health and safety regulations, along with certification of such knowledge is a requirement of good Caterers.
Aside from the legal and work-related requirements, there is also the need for Caterers to be able to cook well, along with the knowledge of seasonings and the seasonal availability of the items desired by the clients. Attending Culinary School is preferred, as having some training in culinary arts and business management will come in handy. Attending Culinary School is not mandatory to become successful in the field of catering, however it may be a strong starting point in obtaining a position with an already established business.
Caterers work in a variety of locations, such as construction sites, business lobbies, restaurants, hotels, malls, banquet and wedding reception halls, with some even working from their own homes.
The pay scale for Caterers varies greatly by the type of Caterer, but is based most often on budget margins. If an event goes over budget, the catering company may gain a poor reputation, as well as lose out on profit. By keeping well within the budget, Caterers determine the profitability of each event. Some Caterers are paid an annual salary, holding positions within an established business. The average salary of such positions are as follows:
Certificate or Associate's degree required
Shrinking by 0.8% over the next 8 years
$28K Average annual salary

I expected great things from Bridesmaids, having heard the hype from cinema goers, but I have to say I wasn't THAT impressed. Yes, it was funny in parts and I did have a couple of loud snorts, but I have seen much better. The film did pick up pace towards the end though, which is a shame as by that point I was getting bored!
Produced by Judd Apatow (The 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up), Bridesmaids was co-written by rising star and Saturday Night Live alumnus Kristen Wiig. Wiig also stars as Annie, a frustrated singleton whose best friend, Lillian, is about to get married. Annie's haphazard love life is thrown into even more disarray as the wedding approaches and she is asked to become a bridesmaid along with a mixed bag of Lillian's other friends. Bridesmaids is the standout comedy of 2011 and features layered adult comedy and drama throughout which will have you laughing and crying in equal measure. Wiig and her co-stars always command attention and this must-see film demands repeat viewing.
I missed Bridesmaids whilst it was on cinema release so was very much looking forward to a good laugh - and the hype in the press about it being a 'female version of The Hangover' had me primed with high expectations. It suffices to say, I was somewhat disappointed - It's a fine movie, and the acting is ok, but just not good enough to match the innovation and chemistry of 'The Hangover'. Still worth watching, just not a 4* plus film.

John Harrigan: Once more, weighing in on never-ending gun issue
It is ludicrous, to me, to think that ever more gun laws will make a difference. There are abundant gun laws on the books. If they were enforced and followed up we might be able to make a dent in gun violence. But laws don't curb the lawless.
"Might be able to make a dent" is the operative phrase here. With an estimated 200 million handguns and who knows how many long guns out there in circulation, or stashed, or being bought and sold, it's pretty much an axiom that people who are bent on mayhem or are just plain bad guys will be able to get guns. Nobody has ever really addressed this fact. No matter what laws we pass, criminals will still be able to get guns. Linking arms and swaying and singing Kumbaya over the latest gun-control package will not change this situation.
I'm all for background checks before someone can, in a commercial situation, buy a gun. But background checks do not necessarily address mental illness, nor can they weed out someone with a grudge. All they really do is determine whether there's a paper tail of criminal convictions or stalking or court restraining orders. Someone planning a crime or holding a longtime grudge or who simply wants to become infamous can still acquire a firearm.
To me the notion that there should be background checks at gun shows is a good idea. But I have to wonder about the wait period. Then there is the complication of taking the money, holding the gun until the background check has cleared, and shipping the firearm. Gun shows are short-lived events. The whole idea, as at any trade show, is to let merchants and customers meet each other easily, exchange information, and make a sale. This happens in a compressed time-frame. To me, background checks in such a situation are impractical. Better to just ban gun shows, right? Imagine the backlash on that one.
In the media we frequently hear about police not wanting to be out-gunned, and who can blame them? Let's remember, here, the clarion call for more powerful handguns back when the .38 revolvers police were carrying became the equivalent of peashooters in the face of criminals armed with Glocks, and the arms race keeps escalating. Killers and thugs can easily obtain far more powerful weapons today. If police feel the desperate need to stay abreast of more firepower in the hands of criminals, what about private citizens?
The notion that in the face of imminent danger or death people can call 911 and wait for the police galloping to the rescue is asinine. If it doesn't work in the cities, and it doesn't, it is hopeless in small-town and rural America. You are on your own.
How many people ward off violence in their homes because they have easy access to a gun? Nobody knows, because (a) the people involved in such situations seldom report them, and (b) seldom do Big Media report even the fraction of incidents in which people do step forward.
Finally, the idea that any background check law can include private sales of firearms is beyond reason. There is absolutely no way to enforce it. If I want to sell a shotgun to my Uncle Fudd, or trade a .38 Smith and Wesson to a friend for a muzzleloader, who on God's green earth would know about it, and step in to demand a background check? "Absurd" doesn't even cover it. Where do these people live? La-La Land?
And then we get down to trigger locks, and storing ammunition in a separate place. Wow, does this make sense. You need a gun in a hurry, and you have to defeat the trigger lock, and then go off to some other part of the house to scramble around for the ammo. Or your gun is in a safe with a three-digit combination. Right - I can barely remember the last four digits of my Social Security number.
How I wish there were simple solutions to the gun violence. There aren't. The situation boils down not to the availability of guns, but keeping them out of the hands of psychopaths. Until someone comes up with a practical solution to millions of guns out there available to bad people, more gun control laws are nothing more than a placebo.

FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) - Fairfax County police say a suspect in a series of slashings of young women at malls is in local custody.
Forty-one-year-old Johnny Guillen Pimentel arrived back in the county Tuesday. He had been arrested in January in his native Peru.
Guillen Pimentel has been charged with six counts of malicious wounding and two counts of attempted malicious wounding.
Since February, nine women reported being slashed on their backsides at malls and retail outlets in the county. None suffered serious injuries.

Hairstylists from area share in cut of $1 million lottery prize
By Emily McFarlan Miller email@example.com November 19, 2012 4:52PM
Illinois Lottery Superintendent Michael Jones. Left to right: Lorraine Smith of Hoffman Estates, Gerlinde Hruska of Huntley, Nicole Murray, A Shear Delight owner Donna Carmen of Bartlett, Donna Thomas of Bloomingdale and Sharon Melbourne of Bloomingdale. |Emily Miller~Sun-Tiimes Media
Updated: December 21, 2012 6:17AM
HANOVER PARK — "Sheer delight" probably is a good description of the reaction that nine area hairstylists at the A Shear Delight salon had to the news earlier this month they had won the Illinois Lottery's Halloween Millionaire Raffle.
Or sheer disbelief.
One cried when Lorraine Smith of Hoffman Estates announced the ticket the co-workers had bought together — finally, after playing the lottery together for four years — had won $1 million, Smith said. The rest looked at her as if she was crazy, she added.
"We still aren't sure we believe it," said Donna Thomas of Bloomingdale. "I don't know that it has (sunk in) yet. Maybe when the money arrives."
It wasn't the money, but the oversized check made out to the salon, that arrived Monday with Illinois Lottery Superintendent Michael Jones at A Shear Delight, 610 Wise Road.
Jones presented the check to six of the nine stylists and promised they'd have the money before Christmas; the ticket still needs to be processed. He called the group's win "a classic example of anything is possibly with the Illinois Lottery."
"The only way you can be absolutely sure you won't win is if you don't play," he said.
The group has been playing small lottery games together every week since Donna Carmen of Bartlett opened A Shear Delight about four years ago, said Smith, who usually buys tickets for the group. Several had been playing together even longer — they worked together at a salon that closed just as Carmen's opened, she said.
And they've won a few small games here and there, according to Smith.
But the Thursday before Halloween, she sent co-worker Margo Tellone of Bloomingdale to buy a $20 Halloween Millionaire Raffle ticket for the group, something they usually do at the holidays, she said.
Tellone returned from 4-T Liquor Corral, 1004 E. Irving Park Road, Streamwood, with two tickets — one for herself and one for the group pool, Smith said. She flipped them upside-down and told Smith to pick the one for the salon.
The two learned the day after Halloween they had won when Smith checked the results on her iPad, she said. She called Tellone immediately and was excited to tell her co-workers in person the next day, she said.
4-T Liquor Corral will receive a $10,000 bonus from the Illinois Lottery, according to the lottery.
"How many people get to say, 'I won the Lotto?' I love saying it!" Carmen said.
Just as exciting, she said, she plans to use the money to pay off the loan she took out to start the salon.
Sharon Melbourne of Bloomingdale said she has 14 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren — and this holiday season, "they're all going to get a little extra."
Their co-workers all said they planned to save their money and continue life as usual — just a little more comfortably, and with one more thing to be grateful for this Thanksgiving. And they also plan to keep playing the lottery, they said.
"If we could do this again — absolutely!" Carmen said.
After all, the Powerball prize that will be drawn Wednesday is at $250 million.

The weekend's highlights include "Breaking Bad," the MTV Video Music Awards and the next twist on "Big Brother."
The third of the final eight "Breaking Bad" episodes airs at 9 p.m. Sunday on AMC. This installment is called "Confessions," and AMC says that "Jesse decides to make a change, while Walt and Skyler try to deal with an unexpected demand." Creator Vince Gilligan is using the final episodes to remind everyone that he has a strong cast beyond series star Bryan Cranston. The first episode was a showcase for Dean Norris as Hank, and the second let Anna Gunn shine as Skyler. It sounds as if Emmy-winner Aaron Paul gets his moments as Jesse in No. 3. By the way, the "Talking Bad" on the latest episode, at 11 p.m. Sunday on AMC, features series star Bob Odenkirk and series fan Samuel L. Jackson.
If you prefer music, you can go gaga over Gaga early. Lady Gaga will open the MTV Video Music Awards by performing "Applause." The show starts at 9 p.m. Sunday on MTV from Brooklyn's Barclays Center.
Justin Timberlake will perform and receive the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award from Jimmy Fallon. Timberlake also could reunite with 'N Sync, but MTV wasn't commenting on that widely circulated rumor.
Timberlake has six nominations this year and leads the field with the duo of rapper Macklemore & producer Ryan Lewis. They will deliver "Same Love," their hit about marriage quality. Also performing: Drake, Kanye West, Robin Thicke, Miley Cyrus, Bruno Mars and Katy Perry.
The awards also have a new category: Best Song of the Summer. The nominees are Cyrus' "We Can't Stop"; Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" featuring Pharrell; "I Need Your Love" from Calvin Harris featuring Ellie Goulding; Selena Gomez's "Come & Get It"; One Direction's "Best Song Ever"; and Thicke's "Blurred Lines" with T.I. and Pharrell. Likely winner: Thicke.
CBS' "Big Brother" served up a major twist on Thursday: a member of the jury will return to the game. The next episode airs at 8 p.m. Sunday on CBS. Helen, one of the stronger players, was ejected Thursday. The main issue becomes: Can anyone stop the obnoxious Amanda?
Or if you prefer football, you have several preseason offerings. Seattle plays Green Bay at 8 p.m. Friday on CBS. St. Louis takes on Denver at 8 p.m. Saturday on CBS. Minnesota plays San Francisco at 8 p.m. Sunday on NBC.
TCM continues its "Summer Under the Stars" festival that salutes a different performer each day. Elizabeth Taylor is the Friday honoree. You get "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" at 8 p.m., "Suddenly, Last Summer" at 10 and "Who's Afraid of Virgina Woolf?" at midnight. The wonderful character actor Charles Coburn is the Saturday honoree. TCM serves three classic comedies in a row: "Heaven Can Wait" (1943 version) at 6 p.m., "The Lady Eve" at 8 p.m. and "The More the Merrier" at 10 p.m. Coburn won the supporting-actor Oscar for "The More the Merrier." Clark Gable is the Sunday honoree. He won the Oscar for "It Happened One Night," which airs at 8 p.m.

"The paper is high quality, the printing is perfect. All I can say is thank you for making my invitations perfect for my party. I am more pleased than I can even express."
"I have always been satisfied with TinyPrints, and they did not disappoint me with these invitations either. I loved how I could personalize it to meet my needs. Even though this invitation is a little small, I still think they look great! I love how bright and fun they look! TinyPrints delivery was fast and the invites were packaged very well. I can't wait to put these in the mail and send them out when it is time for my party! Thank you TinyPrints for another great product!"
"We have ordered a ton of stuff from Tiny Prints and this card is by far my favorite. I love the bright colors and got so many compliments. Would HIGHLY recommend."
"In true Tiny Prints Fashion, these invites are adorable. I was looking for something for a party at the lake and I wasn't sure how these would work for a 3 year old. With the right picture, they couldn't have been more perfect. Thick paper and the compliments will be rolling in!"
"This card is adorable! The colors are bright and beautiful. The only thing I was slightly disappointed in was that the photo was a little grainy. This was probably due to me zooming in a little too much and should not reflect on Tiny Prints. I would just recommend that you find a photo that needs little cropping and/or zooming when choosing a photo invitation. The quality of the invitation overall is spectacular, and the invitations made it to us even sooner than originally projected!"
