About this blog…
"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z

As for Latin…
"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II

O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Motorola ships slim phone with e-paper screen
Motofone F3 debuts in India
Motorola has begun shipping Motofone F3, its 9mm-thick slimline handset with an 'electronic paper' display. Debuting today in India, the handset will roll out in other markets in the coming weeks, the company said.
The handset's launch venue points to the role Motorola has in mind for it. The F3 is the latest in the company's line of low-cost handsets - even pre-subsidy - that trade many of the features found in more expensive handsets for a much-reduced price ticket.
Motorola's still not going into details about the F3's specs beyond the fact that it's a GSM device - a CDMA model, the F3c, will also be made available - and that it sports a simple, icon-based user interface with large point-size text for legibility.
The manufacturer calls the F3's screen a ClearVision Display (CVD), but it's based on e-paper from E Ink. It's a basic greyscale display with a high resolution, wide viewing angle, non-volatile panel - it retains what's on screen even when the power goes. It's also consumes much less power than a standard backlit LCD, and there's no glass to break. ®

text: With the arrival of Topia's one-seater prototype, I think it's finally safe to say the SMART car has something it can take in a fight. Called the HUVO, this diminutive electric car forgoes features like "well-being" and "sanity" for "lightweight" (150kg) and "Jesus Christ watch out for that MINI Cooper!" To save weight and development costs, the HUVO is made out of materials that would make any contemporary golf cart proud; mainly plastic, ceramic, more plastic, and a bit of high-tensile steel plate. Although, as the headline implies, if HUVO goes into production Topia should probably just make the thing out of a nice, sturdy wood, and save your immediate family a step at the funeral parlor.

Deadhouse Gates is the second novel in Steven Erikson's epic fantasy series, the Malazan Book of the Fallen. Deadhouse Gates follows on from the first novel, Gardens of the Moon and takes place simultaneously with events in the third novel Memories of Ice. The novel was first published in the United Kingdom as a trade paperback on 1 September 2000, with a mass-market paperback edition followed on 1 October 2001....
Slaughterhouse-Five, or The Children's Crusade:
A Duty-Dance with Death is a satirical novel by Kurt Vonnegut and is generally
recognized as his most influential and popular work. Set around World War II,
the novels tells of the story of Billy Pilgrim, a chaplain's assistant, and his
experiences and journeys through time. Billy sees when, how, and why he will
die, resulting in his becoming fatalistic. The refrain "so it goes" is used
when death, dying, and mortality occur and it appears in the book 106 times.
Additionally, the novel can be read as semi-autobiographical: Vonnegut was
present during the firebombing of Dresden, a central event in the novel.
Shortly after publication, Slaughterhouse-Five
was nominated for two best novel recognitions, a Nebula Award and a Hugo Award,
though it lost both to Ursula K. Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness. The Modern
Library ranked Slaughterhouse-Five eighteenth on its list of the "100 Best"
English-language novels of the 20th century in 1998. It is also listed in TIME's
"100 Best Novels" (since 1923).
However, mainly due to its irreverent tone and
obscene content, Slaughterhouse-Five has been the subject of many attempts at
censorship. The novel treats one of the most horrific massacres in European
history—the firebombing of Dresden—with mock-serious humor and clear antiwar
sentiment. It also depicts sexuality to a revolutionary extent as one of the
first literary acknowledgments that homosexual men, referred to in the novel as
"fairies," were among the victims of the Nazi Holocaust. Thus,
Slaughterhouse-Five is listed in the American Library Association's list of the
"Most Frequently Challenged Books of 1990–1999" as well as the ALA's "Most
Frequently Challenged Books of 2000–2009."
The novel has been adapted more than a handful
of times, most notably a film adaptation by the same name made in 1972.
Although the film did poorly in the box office, it was critically praised,
winning the Prix du Jury at the 1972 Cannes Film Festival. ...
Fahrenheit 451 (Ballantine Books, 1953) by Ray Bradbury is a dystopian novel that presents a future American society in which the masses are hedonistic and critical thought through reading is outlawed. Written in the early years of the Cold War, the novel is a critique of what Bradbury saw as issues in American society of the era. Bradbury combined two of his early short stories, "The Pedestrian" and "Bright Phoenix," into The Fireman, a novella published in the February 1951 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction. Bradbury's publisher at Ballantine Books then suggested that he expand the work to make into a novel—Fahrenheit 451. ...

Hewlett-Packard to lay off 500 in Conway
Hewlett-Packard Co. says it will lay off 500 people from a customer support center in Conway.
The Palo Alto, Calif.-based company told workers Monday that the layoffs were part of a program announced last year to streamline the business.
The center opened in 2010 with 600 workers and the promise of employing twice that number.
A company spokeswoman wouldn't say how many workers are left at the center but officials say an HP business unit will continue to operate in Conway.
HP received significant state incentives to open shop in Arkansas, including $10 million from the Governor's Quick Action Closing Fund for infrastructure for its building.
State officials say they'll determine any money owed by HP.
Hewlett-Packard says it will take steps to offer affected employees assistance during the transition.

Sauteed Pork with Mushroom and Ginger in Sesame Oil
I recalled when I was in my confinement(child birth) my mom cooked either chicken or pork in ginger with sesame oil for me almost every lunch and dinner during my 30 days confinement period..At that time eating this kind of "confinement food" daily in and out ,it's kind of bored and plain for me.But right now ,I really miss it dearly.Maybe I was sick with cold and flu for the last couple of days ,it's make me crave and miss my mom cooking and her pamper more.Well ,Chinese people believed that old ginger and sesame oil has its "heaty" nature as the new mother is advised to avoid "cooling" foodstuff which may unnecessarily induce "wind" in the body. But since now I'm not a new mother,I don't mind eating this type of heaty dish once a while when I feel bland or unappetizing..Make no mistake !! this type of dish is not only for new mother but suitable for everyone who love old ginger and sesame oil..
1 lb lean pork,sliced (mix with 2 tbsp corn flour + 2 tbsp soy sauce)velvet method
6-7 dry shitake mushroom,soaked and cut
3-4 inch old ginger,peeled and julienne
5 cloves garlic,peeled and chopped
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp chicken bouillon powder
3 tbsp corn flour + 3 tbsp cold water
salt to taste
1 cup water
handful cut cilantro
5 tbsp sesame oil,plus extra
1:Heat skillet at medium heat with sesame oil,ginger and garlic.Fry until fragrant or golden brown.Add in water,chicken bouillon and oyster sauce.When it bubbly boil,slowly add in pork mixture into the skillet.
2:Use spatula to spread the pork mixture and cook for 5 minutes.Add in shitake mushroom and corn flour mixture,stir well .Cook for 3- 5 minutes or until the gravy become gooey thick.
3:Check the seasoning.Add salt to your taste..Drizzle some sesame oil in before dish out.Sprinkle some cilantro ,serve warm with steam white rice.

The Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute (SEI) will host the 13th Annual International Software Product Line Conference (SPLC 2009) on August 24"28, 2009 in San Francisco, California. SPLC is a forum for researchers, practitioners, and educators to present and discuss current and emerging trends in software product lines.
Product line approaches to system development apply practices, processes, technology, and tools to achieve strategic, planned reuse of technical and business artifacts. Effectively using software product lines improves time to market, cost, productivity, and quality. They also enable rapid market entry and flexible response, and simplify software maintenance and enhancement.
This year's program includes presentations on current research, experience reports from industry, and product line workshops, tutorials, and tool demonstrations. Conference attendees will have several opportunities to actively participate in sessions that will explore ideas for future directions in the field of software product lines. In addition, three leaders in the field of software engineering will deliver keynote addresses:
- Richard P. Gabriel, distinguished engineer at IBM Research. Gabriel has looked into the architecture, design, and implementation of extraordinarily large, self-sustaining systems. Gabriel has also been a key contributor to the SEI's research study on ultra-large-scale systems.
- Jacob G. Refstrup, distinguished technologist at Hewlett-Packard's Imaging and Printing Group. Refstrup is the lead architect for the Owen software product line architecture and has spent the past 10 years contributing to the Owen architecture, processes, tools, and code base.
- Dr. Kyo Chul Kang, professor at the Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) in Korea. Kang originated and developed feature-oriented domain analysis (FODA), the most widely used method for representing and analyzing features of applications in a domain. FODA is particularly relevant to product line practice because it enables the systematic discovery and exploitation of commonality and variation across a set of products.

Maker Faire is an event created by Make magazine to "celebrate arts, crafts, engineering, science projects and the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) mindset".
Last year the West Seattle Makers and Fixers, along with over 2,800 people, participated in the workshops, interactive exhibits, and presentations at Seattle's first-ever Mini Maker Faire on June 2nd and 3rd at the Seattle Center. This year the Makers and Fixers have added many new tools to our workspace, including a Shopbot (CNC router), and hope to build on our experience from last year to make our booth even more exciting and inspiring. At this Meetup we'll present a slideshow of last year's event, recap what was successful, and discuss areas of improvement. Then we'll discuss our new goals, resources, individual interests and ideas. We'll then form subgroups, create a task list, and start executing projects.

NASA announces $1.5m prize for eco-plane inventors
Flying machines go green diddly green green
US space agency NASA has announced a competition for green aircraft designers, in which low-carbon flying machines will contend for a $1.5m prize at a contest to be held in California in two years' time.
You didn't want that flying car, did you? Have an electric plane (well, glider) instead.
The compo is to be run by NASA's usual light-aircraft collaborator organisation, the Comparative Aircraft Flight Efficiency (CAFE) Foundation. It will be known as the CAFE Green Flight Challenge (CGFC), and competing aircraft will be assessed in flight trials to take place at the Charles M Schulz Sonoma County Airport in Santa Rosa, California, in July 2011.
CAFE and NASA were formerly involved in attempts to develop so-called Personal Air Vehicles (PAVs), basically the closest approach to flying cars that might be realistically achievable. A fully-developed PAV wouldn't be a Jetsons aircar: rather it would be a normal light plane with several important enhancements. These would include cheapness, quiet operation, short takeoff run, perhaps the ability to fold wings and drive on roads, and an almost hands-off autopilot/air-traffic system allowing the PAV to be flown by people with no more training than car drivers.
NASA even had its own PAV programme until 2005, but then funds were cut and the idea was downgraded to a competition run by CAFE with NASA supplying modest $250k prize money. This wasn't enough for anyone to do any serious development work, and the PAV competition attracted nothing more than some mildly-tweaked motor-gliders, old Cessnas and the like.
But the notion of flying cars has been thoroughly eclipsed in the popular mind by the concept of green low-carbon ones - as witness the now almost constant flow of electric car coverage in the tech press. Last year the PAV contest changed into a General Aviation Technology Challenge, with a Green Prize.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 20 diseños de 14 diseñadores freelance.
Monolith Software
Monolith Software provides software solutions to service providers and large enterprises, to monitor and manage large technology infrastructures.
We're a small company gaining ground in a crowded market because we try to do technology the right way, especially for large environments. People who truly understand what's required to manage complexity love us; most people, however, have never heard of us.
That is beginning to change: we are consistently winning larger, more influential customers. Recently Oracle began using Monolith to manage their global network, and the next few months promise even bigger names in terms of service providers.
We need our online presence to reflect the sophistication of our technology and our capabilities.
This project is for icons on the website featuring a new product: Monolith OnDemand. It is a SaaS implementation of our product, and will likely appeal to a very specific type of customer.
1. Product manager, marketing manager or director of operations for an MSP
2. Application Owner at a large enterprise
3. Director of operations/GM at a small or mid-size telco or service provider
Prospects are typically male, very familiar with technology, and tend to be in a big hurry. As consumers of product literature, they are generally skeptical. They have often seen highly-polished marketing mask sub-par product performance.
We are looking to convey aptitude, not attitude. Elements of the website need to reflect technological competence but not be too flashy.
Monolith OnDemand is in need of four icons and a button.

If a designer wants to submit ideas for a new product logo to create a common theme between logo and icons, we would be willing to discuss additional compensation for the logo as well.
The challenge will be to accommodate design elements from our existing software application that have been brought into the design of the website - the colors, navigation bar, and content boxes. See the attached files. The existing icons are a little garish, and lack a bit of sophistication.

UH College of Education researcher receives honorary doctorate from the University of CanterburyUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
College of Education
Scott is an alumnus of the University of Canterbury and was nominated for the honorary doctorate by the alumni association who were aware of his groundbreaking work in technological developments for disabled persons and the various recognition awards he has received in the United States.
Scott began his career in accessibility solutions in New Zealand in 1976 by developing small computers that enabled disabled children to participate in school activities and disabled adults to communicate in work and home situations. After visiting the United States as a Fulbright Scholar in 1982, he moved to San Francisco from New Zealand in 1986. Recognizing the importance of computer skills before the mainstream populace was familiarized with the PC, Scott began finding ways in which disabled persons could access technology and develop computer competency. Such skills would prove necessary to everything from attainting employment to simple home computing.
Scott's activities are hallmarked by his development of the Total Access System at Stanford University in 1992. The system provides users with universal access to computers and other electronic devices. He was awarded a U.S. Patent for the Total Access System in July of 2000.
Scott assumed his current position as director of the Archimedes Project at CRDG in 2003. His activities at CRDG have focused on establishing the Archimedes project at the University of Hawaiʻi and building global relationships with researchers and manufacturers to further develop and implement his accessibility technology. Scott has recently requested patents for several more sophisticated products designed to provide disabled persons with the ability to communicate with computers. These include a patent pending for the Intelligent Total Access System in 2003, and patents pending for the Integration Manager and Natural Integration Manager in 2004.
According to the Archimedes Hawaiʻi Project website, "[The disabled] remain disenfranchised from using computers and computer-based appliances. This leaves them at a grave disadvantage." Since joining CRDG in 2003, Scott's work has remained dedicated to improving the everyday lives of disabled persons worldwide.
Scott has been featured in numerous science and technology publications. In 1997, he was nominated by Discover Magazine as one of the top five innovators in computer hardware and electronics. In 2000, he was recognized by San Francisco Magazine as "one of fifteen Bay Area futurists who will shape the way people live, think, and work and play in the new millennium." Additionally, Scott was selected as Lifetime Laureate of the Silicon Valley Tech Museum in San Jose, California in 2002.

Expanding playoffs made for great theater
Winner-take-all format in Wild Card round put emphasis on winning division
Remember? Four games settled two playoff berths. Two of them went extra innings. Another was a bottom of the ninth walk-off.
The Red Sox let a 3-2 ninth-inning lead -- and a playoff berth -- slip away in Baltimore. The Rays overcame a 7-0 deficit to clinch one against the Yankees. The Braves allowed a 3-1 lead to turn into a 13-inning elimination loss.
Baseball was so good that day, so tense and so exciting, that a lot of people were left exhausted, sitting and staring at their television sets, unsure if they'd just seen all that happen.
That day was so much fun that Major League Baseball decided to see if it could be replicated, sort of.
So one playoff team was added in each league. With that change, more teams would be in competition, more games would be meaningful down the stretch.
All of that happened. After four months, at least 20 teams still were in contention for playoff berths. At the non-waiver Trade Deadline, it was difficult to separate the buyers and sellers because of what had happened the year before with the Rays and Cardinals coming from 10 games back in the final five weeks.
Here's the best part, the really genius part: Baseball decided the two Wild Card teams in each league would play one winner-take-all game to decide who advanced to the best-of-five Division Series.
So instead of diminishing the importance of the regular season, baseball actually increased its importance. Suddenly, there was a huge difference between winning a division championship and getting one of the Wild Card berths.
On Oct. 5, baseball gave us its first Wild Card day:
Orioles at Rangers.
Cardinals at Braves.
In a sport accustomed to the long run, to the we'll-get-'em-tomorrow attitude, this was something completely different. One game. One opportunity.
Was it as good as baseball's leaders hoped it would be? Indeed, it was. Both games were close. Both ballparks were sold out.
And in one ballpark, it was one of those nights that'll be remembered forever. It was Chipper's Last Game. It was also the Infield Fly Rule Game.
Let's set the scene.
The Braves trailed the Cardinals by three runs in the bottom of the eighth inning and had runners on first and second with one out.
That's when Atlanta shortstop Andrelton Simmons seemed to dump a base hit into left field between St. Louis shortstop Pete Kozma and left fielder Matt Holliday.
That's when it got strange.
Left-field umpire Sam Holbrook called Simmons out via the infield fly rule even though the ball was well into left field when it landed.
All heck broke loose. Fans threw debris onto the field as the game was delayed for 15 minutes.
The Braves have no idea what would have happened if they'd had the bases loaded with one out, and they'll never find out. Instead of being remembered as Chipper Jones' final game, it became a game Atlanta fans will chew on and debate forever.
For the Cards, it was a slam dunk. They loved the Wild Card format.
"There were so many teams and fan bases engaged to the last day," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "This is a fan-driven business. I think the excitement level proves it was a good idea."
And then the American League Wild Card game began with Baltimore manager Buck Showalter handing the ball to Joe Saunders.
Saunders could serve as a pretty good poster boy for the 2012 Orioles, an amazing team that did amazing things.
After 15 years out of the playoffs, they won 93 games thank to a core of homegrown talent and a manager in Showalter who convinced them they were good enough to win.
Actually, Showalter demanded they believe. He got rid of some people who didn't. The Orioles won because of Adam Jones and Matt Wieters and Nick Markakis. The O's also won because no general manager did a better job than Dan Duquette.
After a decade out of baseball, he masterfully constructed a roster, and then remade the pitching staff on the fly during the season.
Saunders was one of the guys Duquette acquired. Down the stretch, Saunders had a 2.75 ERA in his final six games.
And then he went to the mound in Arlington to continue the dream. He allowed baseball's highest-scoring offense one run in 5 2/3 innings and set the tone for Baltimore's 5-1 elimination of the Rangers.
Nate McLouth, who'd been released by the Pirates a few months earlier, drove in two runs.
"Our guys approached it and we talked about it being sudden life instead of sudden death, and we played that way," Showalter said. "You've got to seize the opportunity. We don't get many."
That night, the Orioles began a wild clubhouse celebration, a celebration for both a franchise with a great history and for a city that loves its baseball team.
"We engaged the fans again," Duquette said weeks later. "It was great to see them back at the park."
There were stark emotions in the four clubhouse that evening, with the Cards and O's celebrating wildly and the Braves and Rangers bitterly disappointed.
It made for great theater, which is exactly what baseball experienced on that final day of the 2011 regular season and got again on Oct. 5.

1946: Kenny Washington Signs with LA Rams
On March 21, 1946 the Rams, newly moved to Los Angeles from Cleveland, signed former star UCLA tailback Kenny Washington to a contract. More than adding a player to the roster, the significance was that he was black, and no African-American had played in the NFL since 1933. By the time the '46 season got underway, Washington would have a black teammate and the Cleveland Browns of the new All-America Football Conference (AAFC) would have two African-American players.
Between 1920 and 1933, there had been a total of 13 African-American players in the NFL. They included Paul Robeson, a former Rutgers All-American who played end and tackle with Akron (1921) and Milwaukee (1922) and who is far better remembered for his career as an entertainer and political activist. They also included tackle Duke Slater, who played for ten seasons and received second team All-Pro recognition after six of them, and Fritz Pollard, a 1920 All-Pro back who co-coached the Akron Pros in 1921 and, for at least one game, the Hammond Pros in 1925.
But after 1933, when tailback Joe Lillard played for the Chicago Cardinals and tackle Ray Kemp for the Pittsburgh Pirates, there were no black players in the league. The color line was apparently unofficial and, for years afterward, unacknowledged, but was certainly real.
Washington had been a huge star as a college tailback, coincidentally enough in the same backfield with Jackie Robinson, who would integrate major league baseball in 1947. At 6'1" and 195 pounds, he had the necessary size as well as speed for pro football, and also, in those days when versatility was far more essential, could pass and kick. When he first came out of UCLA in 1940, he drew interest from the Chicago Bears, but nothing came of it. Thus, he was relegated to playing in the Pacific Coast Football League, where he injured both knees.
By 1946, Washington was a 28-year-old back with two bad knees. However, the commission that operated the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, where the newly-relocated Rams would be playing, insisted that he be given a tryout. In May, 31-year-old end Woody Strode, who had also come out of UCLA, was also signed, thus giving the Rams two black players going into the season.
With the condition of Washington's knees a significant question mark, Head Coach Adam Walsh initially used him at quarterback, with unimpressive results. He was shifted to fullback, where he played well until reinjuring a knee. His numbers in 1946 were thus limited – 114 yards on 23 carries (although that resulted in a healthy 5.0 average yards per rush), six pass receptions for 83 yards, and one completion in eight passing attempts for 19 yards. However, he had a much better year in 1947, gaining 444 yards on 60 carries for a formidable 7.4 average gain and that included a 92-yard touchdown run, the longest in the NFL that season. He played one more season in '48 and ended up with a career total of 859 yards on 140 rushes (6.1 yards per carry) with 8 touchdowns while catching 15 passes for 227 yards and a TD.
Woody Strode played one season with the Rams, catching four passes for 37 yards, before moving north to Canada. The two African-American players in the AAFC, FB Marion Motley and G Bill Willis(pictured at right), had greater impact. They were key players with the Browns, who dominated the league in all four of its seasons before moving to the NFL. Both are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The process of integrating pro football was slow, with the AAFC initially outperforming the NFL. By 1949, the rival league, with seven teams, had 11 black players while the NFL had five spread across 10 clubs. However, as more of the African-American players had a significant impact, the process moved along – not always evenly or easily. But it started with Kenny Washington and three other players breaking pro football's color line in 1946.

Athens, OH recently came to CDI because parking collections had been consistently low and the City wanted to better regulate their Parking Ticket Management. CDI has been working with the City since July 2005.
Athens wanted to be aggressive, for the first time, in collecting on backlogged and current delinquent parking violations. City officials wanted to ensure that violators know tickets must be paid or there will be consequences.
CDI has a history of increasing parking revenue and collections. This can be attributed to many aspects of the FastTrack™ program. We offered the following to the City of Athens:
- Direct DMV Access to reach in-state and out-of-state violators.
- Regular, frequent delinquent noticing.
- Handheld ticket writers to reduce officer error.
- An automated system to bar frequent violators from registering their vehicles with the state.
- A comprehensive parking ticket software package to manage the process.
Parking revenue at the City of Athens increased by 250% from the first full month with CDI, August 2005, to March 2006.
CDI is confident that you will see dramatic results as well. Send us an email or call us. We will be happy to explain how CDI can make a difference in your Parking Ticket Management operation.

adamtoth necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 36 diseños de 13 diseñadores freelance.
Header graphic, color scheme, and a few complementing images needed to turn a standard wordpress blog theme (Stardust) into a funkified version for my technical/personal blog. Think Bootsy Collins, Maceo, P-Funk inspired. Aim for ratio of 2% jazz, 98% funky stuff (refined, but with heavy dose of funkadelia).
Life on Planet Groove
I'm a .NET and SharePoint developer that has some personal and work-related blogs that I'm combining into one blog, lifeonplanetgroove.com.
I've found a wordpress theme that I like, called Stardust, that is a two column, fluid layout, with header, footer, and right nav. I'm not looking to adjust the layout or design, just replace the header graphic, change the tab colors, generate a color scheme that I can use to style my links and buttons, etc, and replace a couple of graphics in the theme with something groovy.
Here is a link to a document showing some elements in need of redesign.
Some basic requirements include:
- A header graphic that includes the words "Life On Planet Groove" in a funky font. Should incorporate a gradient-type background that I can slice to stretch with the fluid design.
- Don't want to pay licensing fees for fonts. Please use: Jasmine (for the header), Groovy (if needed for a supplemental font). Am open to others, but see what you can do with those first.
- Header shouldn't be too tall
- The main content area will have a white/off-white background for readability
- I like oranges for base colors. I'm not opposed to pink or fuscia if used very sparingly to accent.
- Less disco, think more cosmic, outerspace, mothershipSome inspiration to get started:
- Cover art for my favorite album, Life On Planet Groove. The cutout faces inside the shapes are fun.
- Bootsy Collins fashionI've never made a contest here before, but have watched and marvelled at all the amazing designs I see created.
- See description for additional requirements
- Need a header graphic with "Life on Planet Groove" in funky font.
- Need a color scheme for tabs and border under tabs
- Need a color palette so I can style my hyperlinks and other elements
- Need to replace graphic at lower bottom in footer. Need something funky here.
- Need replacement for the dangling graphic off the header, am open to anything.
- Shapes in the header, planets, moons, rocket ships, comets, things of that nature, to fill out empty space.
- Vector source files for any vector shapes/objects
- I'm using this blog for about 50% personal use, and 50% technical content, with a goal to always market my development skills through this (just keep that in mind).
- Heavy disco theme
- Not looking for a DJ promotion style site
- Not too dark, the main content area needs to have a light background
- Less of the cartoony Parliament and Funkadelic album cover styles
- Tall header
- Anything that forces me to rework the layout heavily
- Please don't spend any time on the sidebar, icons, calendar colors, RSS images. I'd like the effort put into making a nice header, color theme, and replacing the two mentioned images.

Dear Experts,
I'm a graduate student, dealing with group-theory.
In my current research, I used the bound "Alexander Gruber" wrote about in this post: See Here (Actually, I have just found out that the bound is known and already mentioned online).
I was able to give a detailed proof for this claim myself of course , but since it seems like this bound is well known, I want to add a reference .
So... does anyone know about a reference for the bound Alexander Gruber gives in the post above? I want to add it to the Bibliography section.
Thanks for your help!

Decanting: A Philosophy
It's time to start decanting your young wines
The ceremony. The celebration.
Wine connoisseurs, whether professionals or wine lovers, are divided over the process of decanting. When is wine best decanted and which wines benefit from it – or is this simply a matter of taste?
Many wine lovers decant their wines to allow them to breathe; that is, expose them to oxygen so that the aromas can develop. But we believe that wines are still decanted too rarely – and often only restricted to red wines.
Traditionally, only mature red wines were decanted in order to separate any sediments and tartrate crystals, sometimes called wine diamonds, from the wine. However young red wines can also benefit from decanting, as the aeration makes them smoother and rounder, speeding up the ageing process to delight our taste buds. In addition to this, white wines and even champagne can also benefit from decanting.
Which wines should be decanted?
The rules of decanting are based less on colour, and more on age and structure. Simply put, any wine that would benefit from ageing can be decanted. That includes red wines, white wines and even champagne.
Young wines will taste smoother and more mature when decanted as exposure to oxygen burns off the sulfides in wine, revealing more flavour through greater aromatic expression. These younger wines can afford a more vigorous decant to enliven them; Riedel's Snake decanters with their double decanting function are perfect for this job.
Mature wines should be decanted gently with caution. Depending on the age of the wine and how it is been stored in its life, excessive oxidation begins to diffuse the aroma and strip the wine of character. Simple decanters or carafes are suitable for aged red wines, such as the Riedel Cornetto, Syrah or O Single.
Decanting is above all an experience. With our Snake decanters, pouring wine becomes part of the enjoyment!
Our Snake decanters are the perfect instrument for the enjoyment of wine and add incredible theatre to your dining setting. Riedel's Snake decanters – Mamba, Eve, Evechen and Boa – are handmade and feature a double aeration function, which allows for the optimal, intensive aeration and perfect portioning of wine. They combine spectacular design with excellent functionality.
Mamba – extravagant and efficient
Mamba is modelled on the elegant black mamba, the fastest snake in the world, whose energy and vigour inspired this decanter's seductive design. The way that the wine flows through its several chambers means it is double decanted and intensively aerated – an effect that can only be achieved after several hours in a traditional decanter.
The long neck is ideal for pouring and has an additional vitalising effect when wine is served. The ceremony of service is accompanied by a sonorous glugging sound – audible evidence not only of perfect aeration, but also of the wine's vitality.
Eve – sensual and patented functionality
Eve is an extravagant carafe with a striking design, and a reference to Eve's temptation in the Garden of Eden. But this handmade decanter is more than pleasing to the eye. Its double aeration function allows for wine to be perfectly aerated and portioned so serving becomes a true experience!
Once moved around its own axis, the wine is aerated through the first chamber, before the ideal quantity of wine reaches the second chamber. This one-of-a-kind combination of aeration and portion control, developed by Maximilian J. Riedel, ensured the Eve decanter received worldwide patent protection in May 2009. Eve is an art object that gives the greatest pleasure, accompanied by the same audible glugging sound as the Mamba.
Evechen decanter – seduction in a handy size
The Evechen decanter is a smaller, but no less enticing version of the successful Eve decanter – and just as functional. Handmade in Tyrol like Eve, it impresses with its handy size.
Boa – elegant and upstanding
The handmade decanter was designed to celebrate the Year of the Snake, which represents power, among other qualities. The Boa features a more tightly-coiled body than previously designed Riedel Snake Decanters, and brings wines to full flavor profile potential with its double decanted design.
For the Boa, designer Maximilian J. Riedel took inspiration from his travels throughout North and South America, the native home of the boa constrictor. To introduce the decanter, Maximilian developed the first-ever web-ready video, a cartoon detailing RIEDEL's celebration of glassware's many functional forms. Click here to see it!

Using nmap for Linux administration and security
The open source tool nmap is ideal for network troubleshooting, scanning and auditing. The tool can be used to identify devices on the network as well as the services running on them. It can also identify advanced information, such as operating systems in use, name and version of services, and network filters and firewalls.
In this tip we are going to learn about nmap, an open source network scanner that is ideal for network troubleshooting, scanning, and auditing. The tool can be used to identify devices on the network as well as the services running on the particular devices. Additionally, advanced information such as operating systems in use, particular services (name and version), and network filters and firewalls can be identified.
The identification of services with nmap is achieved through its fingerprint database that currently contains 5,000+ fingerprints. This database is supported by the community by allowing submission of known fingerprints.
nmap as an inventory tool
One of the common applications of nmap is to generate basic inventory reports. This is useful for network maps, renewal of maintenance agreements on network devices and nodes, and to identify rogue, unauthorized, or forgotten devices.
The basic scan for an inventory makes use of a ping scan. For example, the following scan shows the host available on the 192.168.1.0/24 network. The -sP tells nmap to do a ping scan, and the -n says to not do name resolution.
nmap -sP -n 192.168.1.0/24
Starting Nmap 4.76 (http://nmap.org) at 2009-05-14 10:18 CDT Host 192.168.1.1 appears to be up. MAC Address: 00:18:3A:A4:43:BA (Westell Technologies) Host 192.168.1.2 appears to be up. Host 192.168.1.3 appears to be up. MAC Address: 00:17:EE:01:95:19 (Motorola CHS) Host 192.168.1.4 appears to be up. MAC Address: 00:16:CB:A3:27:E4 (Apple Computer) Host 192.168.1.5 appears to be up. MAC Address: 00:1E:52:7D:84:7E (Apple) Nmap done: 256 IP addresses (5 hosts up) scanned in 2.17 seconds
This ping scan is quite useful for building inventories quickly. It can also be the building blocks of more sophisticated scripts and programs to validate adds and changes to the network. For example, the following command reports the new host (192.168.1.5) on the network from two daily scans output to text files:
diff monday.scan tuesday.scan | grep "> Host" > Host 192.168.1.5 appears to be up.
Host-specific inventory
To look at a particular host to determine services running, you can use nmap. For example, let's take a closer look at the 192.168.1.5 that appears to have been turned up sometime after the Monday scan but before the Tuesday scan:
nmap -n 192.168.1.5
Starting Nmap 4.76 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2009-05-14 12:44 CDT Interesting ports on 192.168.1.5: Not shown: 984 closed ports PORT STATE SERVICE 22/tcp open ssh 88/tcp open kerberos-sec 111/tcp open rpcbind 139/tcp open netbios-ssn 445/tcp open microsoft-ds 515/tcp open printer 548/tcp open afp 631/tcp open ipp 1021/tcp open unknown 1022/tcp open unknown 1023/tcp open netvenuechat 2049/tcp open nfs 3300/tcp open unknown 5900/tcp open vnc 20221/tcp open unknown 20222/tcp open unknown MAC Address: 00:16:CB:A3:27:E4 (Apple Computer)
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 10.46 seconds
It appears to be a Unix based system based upon ssh, but the identification of the MAC address makes the system most likely an Apple Mac computer. But, a closer look using nmap's service and version detection, more information can be gleaned. The -sV parameter is used for this:
mb3:~ root# nmap -n -sV 192.168.1.5
Starting Nmap 4.76 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2009-05-14 12:47 CDT Interesting ports on 192.168.1.5: Not shown: 984 closed ports PORT STATE SERVICE VERSION 22/tcp open ssh OpenSSH 5.1 (protocol 1.99) 88/tcp open kerberos-sec Mac OS X kerberos-sec 111/tcp open rpcbind 139/tcp open netbios-ssn Samba smbd 3.X (workgroup: WORKGROUP) 445/tcp open netbios-ssn Samba smbd 3.X (workgroup: WORKGROUP) 515/tcp open printer 548/tcp open afp? 631/tcp open ipp CUPS 1.3 1021/tcp open rpcbind 1022/tcp open rpcbind 1023/tcp open rpcbind 2049/tcp open rpcbind 3300/tcp open unknown? 5900/tcp open vnc VNC (protocol 3.8) 20221/tcp open unknown? 20222/tcp open unknown? 1 service unrecognized despite returning data. If you know the service/version, please submit the following fingerprint at http://www.insecure.org/cgi-bin/servicefp-submit.cgi : SF-Port548-TCP:V=4.76%I=7%D=5/14%Time=4A0C5929%P=i386-apple-darwin9.4.0%r( SF:SSLSessionReq,172,"\x01\x03\0\0Q\xec\xff\xff\0\0\x01b\0\0\0\0\0\x18\0\" AD9 SF:6FA5112ED039C\0\x04mini"); MAC Address: 00:16:CB:A3:27:E4 (Apple Computer) Service Info: OS: Mac OS X
Host script results: | Discover OS Version over NetBIOS and SMB: Unix |_ Discover system time over SMB: 2009-05-14 12:49:02 UTC-5
Service detection performed. Please report any incorrect results at http://nmap.org/submit/ . Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 119.68 seconds
Now the administrator knows that it is Mac OS X, and that it is being used for Windows file sharing using Samba, that it is most likely sharing printers via CUPS, and that the system is configured for remote management with virtual network computing (VNC).
Using nmap for security
While nmap is quite useful for administrators as shown above, it is also quite powerful for security audits. For example, many companies do not allow Web servers to be run on user networks (i.e. networks where user computers and laptops are connected). nmap can easily be used to identify all the systems with Web services running on the well known ports of 80 and 443 with:
nmap -n -p 80,443 192.168.1.0/24 | egrep "ports|open" Interesting ports on 192.168.1.1: 80/tcp open http 443/tcp open https Interesting ports on 192.168.1.2: Interesting ports on 192.168.1.3: Interesting ports on 192.168.1.4: Interesting ports on 192.168.1.5:
Another useful feature is identifying particular versions to determine if systems are vulnerable to an announced vulnerability. For example, let's assume the Samba team has announced a security issue with a particular version of Samba, and you need to identify all your Samba versions. The following reports the Samba versions:
nmap -n -sV -p 139 192.168.1.0/24 | egrep "ports|139" Interesting ports on 192.168.1.1: 139/tcp closed netbios-ssn Interesting ports on 192.168.1.2: 139/tcp closed netbios-ssn Interesting ports on 192.168.1.3: 139/tcp filtered netbios-ssn Interesting ports on 192.168.1.4: 139/tcp open netbios-ssn Samba smbd 3.2 (workgroup: HQ) Interesting ports on 192.168.1.5: 139/tcp open netbios-ssn Samba smbd 2.1 (workgroup: REMOTE) Interesting ports on 192.168.1.15: 139/tcp open netbios-ssn Samba smbd 3.2 (workgroup: WORKGROUP)
This tip has shown how nmap can be used for network inventory scans (-sP), more thorough inventory and auditing, and security scans to identify unauthorized services as well as assist in security vulnerability assessments. nmap is a good tool to have readily available...combine it with grep or egrep and it becomes a powerful reporting tool.

Because nothing is permanent? Except hair dye of course.
It took a lot of self-persuasion to buy these fishnets after years of having to wear white tights as part of my school uniform... it looked hideous. It's an extremely scarring memory of the convent to say the least. Hopefully one day I will eventually overcome my phobia of white nylon. Also my top was a Christmas gift from my boyfriend and I have rarely taken it off since December. Happy Sunday! Xx

Getting here
Read this information and click the map on the right for a little help once in Vallorcine.
By road:
From Geneva/Lyon:
Take the Autoroute Blanche towards Chamonix. From Chamonix, take Route Nationale 506 towards Argentière and continue over the Col des Montets (1461 m) towards Switzerland. Approximately 300 m after the Col des Montets, you will pass the little village of Le Buet, cross a little bridge and – voilà, the Bellevue Alpine Lodge will appear on your left roughly 100 m after the bridge.
The Col des Montets is occasionally closed due to high avalanche risk. Should this be the case, it is usually possible to drive to Vallorcine via the train tunnel from Montroc at certain hours.
From the North, via Switzerland (Zurich or Basel to Bern, then Montreux):
From Montreux it is another 50 km on the highway before you reach Martigny. Follow the directions to France, Chamonix, Col du Forclaz (1527 m). After passing the Col you will get to Châtelard, the small border village between France and Switzerland.
Drive through Vallorcine past the 'Mairie' (town hall) and railway station to the left. The Bellevue Alpine Lodge will appear on the right side of the road after approximately 300 m.
We highly recommend our winter guests to remember their snow chains. And to know how to use them!
By train:
You can arrive by train from either Switzerland (Martigny – an very scenic train ride) or the TGV to St. Gervais, then take a train via Chamonix to the little train station of Le Buet.
The Bellevue Alpine Lodge is 5 minutes by foot from the train station (in the direction of Vallorcine).
By plane:
The closest airport is in Geneva (1.5 hours by car). Various transfer options can be found at www.chamonix.net (be aware that some companies will drive you all the way to Vallorcine while others will take you no further than Chamonix).

Kathleen Henderson - Out•takes Drawing #138
$ 250.00
Product Details
During Kathleen Henderson's exhibition at Track 16 in January 2020, she installed over a hundred "out take" oil stick on paper drawings. What Henderson calls "out take" is an 8x10 inch cutout of a larger drawing that she may have discarded completely if not for this special portion. Priced at $250, half the proceeds were given to the Navajo Nation Democrats of Arizona for voter registration. By the end of the exhibition we were able to donate over $3,000 to the effort.And now the fundraising continues throughout 2020. Again the drawings are approximately 8x10 inches and cost $250. Half the money goes to Navajo Nation Democrats.
