One problem faced by administrators of large and small networks alike is performing backups. While backups are simple to perform and a variety of software and hardware is available to help, the logistics of reliably archiving even a handful of machines are quite onerous. Having each user backup his or her own computer seems an obvious solution, but is really quite impractical: equipping each workstation and server with its own backup hardware is prohibitively expensive, and asking users to schedule and run their own backups is tantamount to ignoring the problem altogether.
So, many administrators favor a centralized approach, where a single computer, the backup server, controls a network-wide backup process. Using this centralized approach, once a system is configured as a backup client, little or no manual intervention is required to perform frequent backups of that system.
Unfortunately, this centralized approach to backups also creates a scheduling nightmare, and can pose authorization problems. You can use NFS or even tar's own networking features to get the data from each personal computer to the server, but those solutions fail to scale well.
Another approach is to use more specialized network backup software. One such package is the Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver (or AMANDA), a powerful open source program for performing tape backups of an entire network. You can download AMANDA at http://www.amanda.org.
Principles of AMANDA Operation
For Linux or Unix boxes, AMANDA uses server software running on the backup clients. This software can access the computer's entire disk, but requires password authentication, unlike NFS. For Windows boxes, AMANDA relies upon the standard Windows file sharing tools, which the AMANDA backup server or another Unix or Linux system can access via smbclient.
In either case, the network client running on the AMANDA backup server contacts the AMANDA servers running on the backup clients to initiate data transfers on a regular basis. To restore data, AMANDA runs a pair of servers on the backup server computer and a client program on the backup client.
In addition to the AMANDA network client and server, the system relies on archiving software on the backup clients themselves. Specifically, AMANDA uses tar or dump to archive data. On Linux, dump is of increasingly limited utility — it works with ext2fs and ext3fs filesystems, but not with other journaling filesystems, such as ReiserFS, XFS, and JFS. (XFS has its own dump variant, xfsdump.) When backing up Windows systems, AMANDA uses tar on the Unix or Linux interface system in conjunction with the Windows file sharing server software on the backup client system.
AMANDA ships with many distributions, so you may be able to install it very easily. Unfortunately, the program depends on certain defaults that are set at compile time, and these defaults vary from one distribution's build to another. For this reason, if you're trying to back up a network that uses a variety of Linux distributions, you may find it easiest to obtain the source code from the AMANDA web site and compile it yourself. Alternatively, you may be able to install an AMANDA package from one distribution on many distributions, but this approach may not always work due to library differences and other dependency issues. This column was based on binaries built from the AMANDA 2.4.4 source code.
AMANDA uses a special backup account, typically called amanda, and part of the amanda group. You must create an account for amanda on both the backup server and each backup client. On the backup clients, this account or group should have full read access to all files on the system. In some cases, this means you must use the root account, but careful planning may provide a way for you to use another account, or perhaps use a dedicated account in the root group. On the backup server computer, the backup account needs full read/write access to your tape device file. You may need to adjust ownership or permissions on this file.
One of AMANDA's greatest strengths is that it functions as a scheduling tool. Rather than try to back up every file on every run, AMANDA spreads the backup load across the network in an even manner, managing backups and restores intelligently. AMANDA also keeps track of the tapes where files were stored, so that when you want to restore a file, the system can tell you which tape to insert in the tape drive.
Typically, you create a backup schedule and then call AMANDA from a cron job on the backup server computer. You must ensure that the correct tape is in the backup server's drive, or AMANDA won't be able to store data on the tape.
Configuring the Backup Clients
The AMANDA backup clients run server software called amandad. This software is normally run from a "super server," such as inetd or xinetd. A typical /etc/inetd.conf entry for amandad looks like this:
amanda dgram udp wait amanda amandad amandad
If you're running Mandrake or Red Hat, which use xinetd, you need to create a file in /etc/xinetd.d to launch the AMANDA server. This file must contain an entry like the following, which is equivalent to the preceding /etc/inetd.conf entry:
service amanda {
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = amanda
server = /usr/local/sbin/amandad
Of course, you may need to change the path to the server, depending on where amandad is installed on your system.
Whether you use inetd or xinetd to launch the server, you must also add an entry to /etc/services (if it's not already present) to tell the super server what port to use:
amanda 10080/udp
And if it's not already present on the system, you must also create an account for AMANDA. Examples here use the username amanda, but you can call the account something else, if you prefer.
In any case, the name you use must match the one specified with the –with-user option when you compiled the program. The user that you choose must have full read access to all of the files that are to be backed up.
Finally, the backup user's home directory needs to contain an authentication file. This file is called .amandahosts, and contains the name of the backup server computer and the user on that server that may access the local backup server software.
For instance, the following entry gives the amanda user on buserver.pangaea.edu the right to grab files for backup:
buserver.pangaea.edu amanda
Once you've finished configuring the backup client, you must restart the super server. Typing killall -HUP inetd or killall -HUP xinetd usually does the job.
Configuring the Backup Server
The backup server doesn't need to run server software to handle backup operations, but it does need to run a pair of servers to handle client-initiated restores. These servers are handled by /etc/inetd.conf entries like the following:
amandaidx stream tcp nowait amanda
amindexd amindexd
amidxtape stream tcp nowait amanda
amidxtaped amidxtaped
The matching /etc/services entries are:
amandaidx 10082/tcp
amidxtape 10083/tcp
More important than the servers that handle restoration is the configuration to handle backups. This is handled through a file called amanda.conf, which is installed in a subdirectory named after a backup set.
For example, if you have a daily dump strategy, you might place its configuration in /usr/local/etc/amanda/daily/amanda. conf. Ordinarily, the user who runs AMANDA (such as amanda) must have write access to the AMANDA configuration directory because the program writes summary information to files located there.
An example configuration file is shipped in the example directory of the source distribution, but this file does not work as shipped. Some of the options you might need to change include:
* The dumpuser option should specify the username you provided with the –with-user parameter when you compiled the package.
* dumpcycle defines the length of time AMANDA takes to perform one complete backup of your network.
* runspercycle is the number of times the AMANDA program (amdump) is run per dump cycle.
* tapecycle is the number of tapes that may be used in a single dump cycle. This number is normally slightly larger than runspercycle to allow for damaged tapes.
* runtapes is the number of tapes to be used per run of amdump. It's normally set to 1 for non-changer tape drives, but may be higher for changers.
* tapedev is the non-rewinding tape device, such as /dev/nst0 or /dev/nht0.
* tapetype is the type of the tape device. Several tape types are defined later in the file. You can also create a new definition, which you insert into amanda.conf, by using the amtapetype command, as in amtapetype -f /dev/nst0. This command can take several hours to complete, though.
* labelstr sets the label for AMANDA tapes. This option takes a regular expression as an argument.
* holdingdisk spans several lines and sets information on a holding disk — a part of your hard disk that AMANDA uses to temporarily store data retrieved from the backup clients. Ideally, this area should be at least as large as a full day's backups, but it can be smaller.
The trickiest part of the configuration may be setting the dump cycle. If you try to back up too much data in too short a time, either your backups will take long enough that they'll interfere with normal operations, or you won't be able to fit all the data from one day's backups on a single tape. Setting the tape type can also be tricky, or at least tedious. If your tape drive supports compression, the amtapetype program may yield incorrect results for the tape type. You may be able to increase the capacity of the tape by a factor of 1.5X to 2X, but if you do so and then back up data that's not easily compressed, your tape may run out of space, causing problems. Alternatively, you can disable compression on your tape hardware (using a jumper or mt commands) and use compression in AMANDA instead.
The example file that ships with AMANDA contains a few lines that you may need to comment out. Most notably, the tpchanger and changerfile lines are likely to cause problems if your tape drive isn't a changer model. If you do have a changer, you should set the changerfile line to point to a file describing your tape changer model.
You may also need to adjust paths to some data storage files and directories, such as infofile, logdir, and indexdir. These files and directories must exist, and most must be writeable by the AMANDA user.
Once the overall backup strategy is set in amanda.conf, you must define a backup set. This is done in a file called disklist, which can be found in the same directory as amanda.conf. As with amanda.conf, an example file ships with the AMANDA source in the example directory, but this file needs substantial changes to work correctly. Most of the entries in this file resemble the following:
buclient.pangaea.edu /home user-tar
This entry tells AMANDA to back up the /home directory on buclient.pangaea.edu using the user-tar dump type. This dump type sets options such as the backup program to use, whether or not to compress the data, the backup's priority, and so on. It must be defined in amanda.conf, and the example file includes quite a few predefined dump types.
You can specify directories to be backed up either by directory name or by partition device file. To back up a Windows system, specify the backup server computer or some other Linux system on which Samba is installed as the backup client computer, and then provide the NetBIOS name and share name to be backed up as the directory, as in //BILLY/DRIVEC to back up the DRIVEC share on BILLY. By default AMANDA uses the SAMBA username when connecting to the Windows system. To change this behavior, you must recompile the program with the –with-samba-user option. In any event, the system looks for passwords in the /etc/amandapass file, which contains Windows share names followed by passwords.
Preparing Tapes
Prior to backing up a network, you must prepare tapes. You do that with the amlabel program, which takes two options: the backup set name (which is the same as the directory in which you store the AMANDA configuration files), and a label name. The label name must match the pattern provided on the labelstr option in amanda.conf.
For instance, with a labelstr of ^DailySet1[0-9] [0-9]*$ and a backup set name of daily, you might type the following two commands to create two backup tapes:
% amlabel daily DailySet101
% amlable daily DailySet102
You type these commands as the AMANDA user. Each command responds with a brief summary of what it did. When you perform a backup, AMANDA expects tapes in the order in which you prepared them. You should probably develop a naming system to help you locate and manage your backup tapes.
Performing a Backup
Before you perform a backup, you should verify your configuration by using the amcheck utility. Type amcheck setname on the backup server computer, where setname is the backup set name, to perform this test. The result should be a report of problems with your configuration.
When you first configure the software, you may need to create directories and files to satisfy the software. In most cases, these directories and files must be readable, and often writeable, to the AMANDA user.
Once you've performed a test and corrected any problems, you're ready to perform a backup. Insert one of your prepared tapes in the tape drive and type a command like the following on the backup server computer, which backs up using the daily set:
% amdump daily
If all goes well, your system will begin backing up data to the tape drive from one or more of your backup clients. When it's done, it will create a log file in the directory you specified on the logdir line in amanda.conf. AMANDA will also email a report to the AMANDA user account.
Ordinarily, you don't run AMANDA manually, although such runs are useful for testing purposes. Instead, you create a cron job to run AMANDA on a regular basis. As an example, the following line can be added to the AMANDA user's crontab file to run AMANDA on a daily basis at 2:00 AM:
00 02 * * * /usr/local/sbin/amdump daily
Restoring Data
Of course, backup is pointless if you can't restore the data that's archived. Ordinarily, AMANDA handles this task through software installed on the backup client computers. This software relies upon servers running on the AMANDA backup server computer, so be sure he backup server's running well before you proceed. These servers require an authentication file, .amandahosts, in the backup server's AMANDA user's home directory, so be sure it's present and grants access to user root on each backup client.
The amrecover program provides a text-mode interactive utility for recovering data from an AMANDA backup server. You normally run this program as root, and provide several critical parameters to this program on its command line, including the backup set name (-C), the index server name (-s), the tape server name (-t), and the tape device on the tape server (-d). Ordinarily, the index server and the tape server are one and the same, and refer to your AMANDA backup server.
Once you've launched the program, it presents a prompt, at which you type commands, such as setdate to set the date of the backup you want to restore, add to add files or directories to be restored, and extract to perform the restore.
Once you type extract, amrecover prompts you to insert the appropriate tape or tapes in the backup server's tape drive. If the backup server computer is in another room, you'll have to go there or have somebody else help with the process.
AMANDA is a very powerful backup tool, and this article can only scratch the surface of using it. If you need more information, consult the software's man pages or online documentation.

Scheduling sex is the thing everyone tells you to do after you have kids, careers, and busy lives as a married couple. But no one really ever says how incredibly, disgustingly, and horrifyingly unsexy that is. If it works for you, then awesome, but for me, the idea of scheduling sex would make it as appealing as a dentist appointment.
The Huffington Post addressed this issue this week. They quote Dr. Eli Coleman, a professor and director of the Program in Human Sexuality at the University of Minnesota Medical School, who agrees that while scheduling and prioritizing sex can keep the excitement alive, feeling pressured to perform despite one's mood is a massive buzz kill.
I am with him. There is simply nothing erotic about punching "sex" into your day planner. Call me crazy, but it's true.
The fact is, if you have to pencil sex into your calendar, then the spontaneity and spur of the moment-ness that makes sex so delicious disappears. For me, that is a deal-breaker.
I am the kind of woman who can't even eat dinner unless I was expressly in the mood for that dish, so there is no way I could have sex unless I was seriously feeling it, too. Penciling it in to my day book just would never work. Sure, we could get there. We could kiss and touch and maybe get in the "mood," but it just kills what I love about sex, so for me, it would never work.
That said, any couple has to make sex a priority. We may not pencil it in, but we do start to get worried if we aren't getting busy at least two or three times a week on our own. If it falls too low, one or both of us usually brings it up and we have to get back on it.
But in our hectic lives, scheduling sex wouldn't always be practical, either. We never really know when we will be free. I work a lot of nights, he works days, and we both take care of the kids in our down time, and they are anything but predictable.
If we tried to schedule sex, one of us would be constantly disappointed or, worse, falling asleep by the time it happened. By not scheduling it, we keep some spontaneity and surprise and we also get plenty in when we do get it.
I will never be a sex scheduler. No matter how crazy things get.
Do you schedule sex?

In 2009 The Icarus Foundation, led by Dr. Rachel
Dodds, conducted a survey of Canada's municipal DMO's to determine their levels
of awareness and action with regard to climate change.
The results showed that DMO's are uniquely situated to provide climate change
education to the wider tourism industry. However, it is also clear that while climate change is considered an
important issue among Canada's municipal DMO's, the organizations have yet to
take significant action to mitigate their impacts either directly or through the education of their
client-members. It is clear that greater guidance is necessary to assist DMO's, and the wider industry, develop
an appropriate plan of action.
A full summary of the results is available at www.theicarusfoundation.com in addition a discussion piece on the findings written by Anna Pollock. We look foward to feedback and comments on the report.

|Lettie With Her Reed House
|Katy With Her Folding House
|Reed House Furnished With Decalco Lithos
Their most successful business gave artists like Thomas Nast, William Momberger, Palmer Cox and Ida Waugh a legacy of beloved artistry in illustration that is highly collectible today. In 1905, John Jr. passed away creating a huge loss of artistic and commercial leadership, and the company was sold to Milton Bradley in 1920. While the company continued to make books, they were no longer in the business making board games.
Other printing companies were also thriving in the 1900's producing beautiful paper doll houses like Lettie Lane's Doll House for the Ladies' Home Journal readers, while companies like Decalco Litho (1926), another New York based company, were creating pages of printed doll house furniture (among other toys as well). I could find very little information on Decalco Litho, but I do know they also printed paper dolls in the 1920's.
|The Open Roof Plan
|My Marble Columns
I began working on the 3" Folding Doll House reproduction. Of course the original was not this tiny. From what I could tell from a photo Jean sent to me, it was roughly 15" x 15". This doll house would fold into a sort of album to be stored in its presentation box. When taken out to play with, you'd fold down the floors of the rooms creating a four room doll house complete with a breezeway through curtains. Being who I am, I begged Jean to make up sheets of furniture for this tiny house. She'd not considered it priority, because who would go to the trouble of cutting out such tiny pieces? ME! And, so sets of the tiny furniture pages are now available for the 3" Folding Doll House.
|A Side View
|Home, Sweet Home
With the Reed House, I painted the columns (wood dowels), to resemble marble. We must have elegance! And, when you make up the furniture, what you choose to put in your dolly house personalizes it as well. The wooden homes have three sides to sit furniture up against, while the folding one only provides two highly decorative walls. Sitting paper furniture against an open space bothers me some, but I'm sure Katy with her Dolly Dingle and Kitty Cucumber paper dolls won't mind!
The folding house comes with a cover graphics for a small box, and I purchased a set of 3.5" x 3.5" jewelry boxes to use one to store the "album" in.
|Folding Doll House in Box
|How the Story Unfolds
During the two weeks I slaved over these beautiful dolly doll houses, I did some research, a little Internet hunting and pecking, to see what other goodies those two McLoughlin brothers had produced. Incredible! How I would love to find a color catalogue of all that they made. You'd think Theriault would have done this! Since this journal writing is about doll houses, I'll stick with that, but the books and toys are simply amazing. I would urge you to do a little "image search" and type in McLoughlin Bros. on Ebay. Its a world of antiquity like no other.
Jean has produced other reproduction doll houses, one being the Keyhole Bliss House. Just this morning I found an antique one on Ebay for the low price of $1900 (wink, wink). I just about fell over! It was incredible in design, and made me resolve to make up Jean's kit at some point. She told me she is currently working on a new house for her line, with Ken, and I can't wait to see what they come up with.
Follow your heart, follow your dreams, and keep playing dolls!
Love, Miss E. Mouse

Wicked Winter Weekend Day 2 - Whitianga
So... the reason I couldn't stay at the mountain longer was because I had a ticket to the Scallop Festival in the Coromandel on Sat 30 Aug! Yum seafood and tasty wine. It's a tough life but someone's got to do it eh? An awesome day and wonderful weekend overall. There aren't many places where you can go from snow to sea in a couple of hours. I'm glad to call NZ home! :D

Being the sort of guy who likes to use keyboard shortcuts rather than having to reach for the mouse all the time, I felt a bit hostile once I got my new Macbook Pro. I knew how to do task X or Y on Windows with a few keystrokes, but having moved to Mac OS X (read 10 not X, as I made the mistake!), I found myself feeling annoyed that I didn't know my way around the OS smoothly.
So I searched the Internet to find out about some of the more obscure shortcuts. Below I've listed and explained some shortcuts that a new Mac user, especially those coming from a Windows environment, may not be aware of. It's definitely made my life easier, hopefully you're a new mac user, these will be of use.
1. Forward Delete On a Windows computer, the Backspace key deletes from right to left, where as the Delete key is used to delete from left to right (i.e. forward delete). But on a mac, there is no delete key (at least not the MBP). So at first I found myself clicking everywhere on emails to delete! So the solution: Fn+Delete. Simple!
2. Expose with F9 I found it annoying that I had to click Fn+F9 to bring Expose up. If I clickedF9, it would change the keyboard light intensity. So, the hardware F9 and the sofware F9 have to be swapped. This is how: Go to System Preferences > Keyboard and Mouse, click the Keyboard tab and check the box that says "Use the F1-F12 keys to control software features". Now when you press F9, it will bring Expose and when you press Fn+F9 it will change the keyboard light intensity. This is the same for the other keys like volume and display brightness. For example, the volume increase is situated on F5, which is used as the refresh button in browsers in Windows. By ticking the box mentioned above, you can use F5 to refresh you browser now!
3. Right Click Windows users love their right click button! It just doesn't make sense to have a computer without it! Well… Macs don't! They have what is called a contextual menu, and it is evoked by control clicking. Now there's two things you can do: First one works in Firefox (I couldn't get it to work in other programs or in Finder). All you do is click and hold and very soon the contextual menu appeares. You can do that anywhere: links, tabs, bookmarks, etc. Other method, which works everywhere is done as follows. First, go to System Preference > Keyboard and Mouse. Go to the Trackpad tab (assuming MBP) and click the "Tap trackpad using two fingers for secondary click". Now if you two-finger-click on the trackpad, the right click menu appears! So convenient, specially when combined with two finger scrolling.
4. Tab key Again, whenever I faced a dialog box with buttons, I used the tab key to navigate between the buttons. On a webpage, this was also true. On a mac, you'll probably get confused, as the tab key doesn't do that! Again, head over to System Preferences > Keyboard and Mouse, then go to the Keyboard Shortcuts tab and click the radio button at the end saying "All controls". Now you can use tab to move around just like windows! Still one thing left… say you have the shutdown dialog box and you use the tab key to navigate to Sleep, if you press Enter, it will shutdown, even though the blue highlight is around the Sleep button. You have to press the Spacebar instead! Confusing at first!
5. Shutdown shortcut Speaking of the shutdown dialog, you can bring it up usingControl+eject. In Windows I used Win Key+U, then U again.
6. Maximise button and what it does So you press the green maximise button, but it doesn't maximise? Well, the button only maximises as much is neccessary. So, say you are reading a PDF document. If you zoom in on your document and then press maximise, you will see that the window will become large enough to hold the whole document. And if you zoom out and press the green button again, it will shrink to fit it. Again, different to Windows and needs some getting used to!
7. Alternative to minmise We saw what the maximise button does, what about the minimise button? Well, it "sucks" (as I like to call it) the document to the dock. What is the point of minimising? To clear your screen, to get rid of clutter. So, you can try these two alternatives depending on the need. Either press F11 to see the desktop, or press Command+H to hide the current window, which is what I tend to do.
8. Moving menu bar icons In Windows you can't move the task bar icons (or I don't know how), but on Mac, you can Command click them and move them around. Neat!
9. No Ctrl+Al+Delete ? I always clicked that well known combination to see my RAM and network usage and see what applications are running. On the Mac, go to Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor. Also, you can click Option+Command+Esc to bring up the Force Quit menu, if you need to quit any application that is not responding.
10. Cool shortcut combo To finish off, I'l give a cool (relatively) shortcut combination. ClickingControl+Option+Command+8 will turn the screen in some sort of high contrast mode, but more like an X-ray screen! Try it, it's fun! Hopefully, at least there has been one tip that has been useful to you. Please share other tips and tricks that you know in the comments. It is always interesting to learn new things.

Tomorrow would be the last day at school for my daughter but because of the hot weather the head of school offered us to keep our children at home.
It means I can't give my "thank you" tag for the maitresse tomorrow as I planned. So this morning I have done my tag quickly.
This one:
Since my iPhone was with me I could take photos of every new step I had made.
Now let's see the step by step pictures:
I cut out a tag, then I covered it with torn printed papers. I wanted to make a patchwork background.
Then I sanded the edges with a sandpaper.
I rubbed the edges and the meeting lines of the torn papers with a sponge and with the Ranger Distress Tea Dye colour.
Then I gessoed the whole surface.
I stamped Mimi on a white cardstock with a StazOn ink (Timber Brown). My stamping (the hat actually) wasn't perfect but I was in a hurry so I left it like this.
I coloured Mimi with Ranger Distress markers and Faber-Castell Albrecht Dürer Watercolour pencils. I rubbed Mimi with Micro Glaze to protect the colours. After I cut out Mimi with scissors.
I cut out a frame with Tim Holtz Trellis Framework Die and I coloured with Ranger Distress Evergreen Bough.
I put Ranger Distress Tea Dye ink to the edges, then I glued it on the tag.
I cut out the "Thanks" word.
I cut out the 3D flowers, I rolled them up and glued them with hot glue.
I put a little white chalk ink to the edges of the flowers.
Then I glued all the elements of the tag.
In the end I put a ribbon and that's it!
The back side looks like this:
What I used:
Penny Black Stamp, Bonjour Mimi
Ranger Distress inks by Tim Holtz
Ranger Distress markers by Tim Holtz
Faber-Castell, Albrecht Dürer watercolour pencils
chipboard, printed paper
Micro Glaze

About four years ago I planted bulbs in the lawn and they have been multiplying at a rapid rate of growth. Crocuses are such a welcome sight in the springtime. Along with their most welcome blooms comes the assurance that spring is on its way. Once the crocuses finish blooming, they go into remission until the next spring. We mow right over the location, without the plants being affected. How magically wonderful is that!
I also see daffodil plants are coming up everywhere but they aren't blooming yet. They usually bloom around Easter time. It's an exciting time of year. I am still hopeful that the snow will finally melt and we will eventually have summer.
Added March 15, 2017: Crocuses in the lawn. Such welcome happy faces!

Tom Selleck falls victim to 'Five Killers'
Catherine O'Hara, Martin Mull also join action comedyTom Selleck, Catherine O'Hara and Martin Mull have joined the cast of "Five Killers," a Lionsgate action comedy that stars Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl.
The project is being directed by Robert Luketic ("21"). Filming starts this month in France and Atlanta for a June 4, 2010, release.
The story follows a hitman (Kutcher) at the top of his game who falls for a computer tech (Heigl) and decides to hang up his guns. Years later, their suburban bliss is ruptured when he finds out there's a hit out on him, forcing him and his spooked wife to go on the run.
Selleck and O'Hara will play Heigl's overprotective father and adoring mother. Mull will play Holbrook, Kutcher's handler.
Bob DeRosa wrote the original screenplay, with additional work by Ted Griffin.
Scott Aversano is producing with Katalyst Films' Jason Goldberg. Mike Karz, Josie Rosen, Christopher Pratt and Chad Marting are executive producing.
Selleck, repped by CAA and manager Bettye McCartt, most recently starred in the CBS TV movie, "Jesse Stone: Thin Ice," and had regular roles on "Las Vegas" and "Boston Legal." His latest big-screen turns were in "The Love Letter" and "In & Out."
O'Hara, repped by ICM and Brillstein Grey Entertainment, most recently appeared in "For Your Consideration" and "Penelope." She provided one of the voices for the forthcoming Spike Jonze-Dave Eggers collaboration "Where the Wild Things Are."
Mull, who is repped by Gersh and Anonymous Content, has recently appeared on "Two and a Half Men" and "American Dad." His feature credits include "Mrs. Doubtfire" and "Mr. Mom."

Easy to forget these guys were around wayyyyy before Saturday Night Fever…
Some good stuff from the Brothers Gibb.
Which brings us to today's topic – words.
As Barry sang so beautifully, words are all we have. We need to use them carefully, and meaningfully.
There are words we use regularly in our industry, but when those words are used carelessly, they become meaningless.
Here's an example: "Payback. "
As in, "what's my 'payback' if I go with this new boiler?"
Then there's payback's derivative: "How long before this new boiler pays for itself?"
Gang, the only way a boiler, furnace, variable speed circulator or any other power or fuel consuming appliance will ever "pay for itself" is if it gets a part-time job.
We strike a deal with the appliances in our lives. We feed them fuel, and they do jobs for us. That's true of the garbage disposal, the oven, the garage door opener and the boiler.
A boiler isn't an ATM, a slot machine or an interest bearing investment.
It eats fuel, and it poops heat.
You can call it an investment if you want, but that's just putting lipstick on the pig.
Or, as Wesley Snipes once said, you can put a cat in an oven, but that don't make it a biscuit.
How we got here is obvious. Energy costs a lot. Your customers crave efficiency. We manufacturers tout efficiency. You want to sell efficiency.
And efficiency should equal $$$$.
Which leads to…
"How long before this new boiler pays for itself?"
When a customer asks that question, a fundamental shift in the boiler replacement/upgrade process occurs. It's no longer about replacing an old, worn-out, unreliable appliance with a new, modern, trouble-free and more efficient model. In their mind, it's now an "investment." And investments should increase net wealth and have a measurable return on investment, or "ROI."
But boilers don't really do that. They eat fuel and poop heat.
And it's not a matter of having one or not having one. If you don't want to freeze to death this winter, you have to have one.
What they're really asking is "how long before the money I spend on this project is offset by the money you claim I'm going to save in fuel costs?" That's a better question, but even that question needs to be put into context.
Are they thinking of upgrading from a perfectly good and well-maintained 10-to-15 year old cast iron boiler with plenty of life remaining? Or do they have a 45 year old clunker that you've kept running with paper clips, bubble gum and prayer, and they're trying to choose between a standard efficiency and a high efficiency boiler?
In the former, you'd be hard-pressed to show any financial reward. In the latter, they're asking you to justify the difference in cost. They want to know how long before the monthly fuel savings offset the added cost of the more efficient boiler.
And if you do the math (click here for an example), the numbers may not tell a pretty story.
Besides, the concept of "simple payback" has many flaws, as my man Allison Bailes explains in his brilliant Energy Vanguard blog here.
The takeaway from today's blog is this: when you focus on energy efficiency as your #1 (and perhaps only) selling point, the customer's focus is now squarely on the flawed concept of "payback." All of the other benefits of the upgrade – greater reliability and and peace of mind, ample hot water, greater comfort, neater appearance and more usable space – now have little to no impact.
Now it's all about what very well may be a small amount of money.
I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on the subject, and we'll be discussing payback, ROI and other "words" in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, let's all hear another Bee Gees classic from their pre-disco days…
A tune that never fails to make he homesick…

New Delhi: Delhi BJP on Wednesday alleged that the Congress was trying to "grab power" in South Delhi Municipal Corporation through backdoor and accused it of nursing "evil intentions".
Delhi BJP chief Vijender Gupta lashed out at Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and DPCC chief J P Aggarwal for their "confusing and contradictory" stands.
"On the one hand, the Chief Minister and Delhi Congress President J P Aggarwal say that they had nothing to do with the election of the councillors, on the other (they are) conspiring to grab power through backdoor in South Delhi Municipal Corporation," he said.
The arithmetic in the South Delhi ward clearly shows that Congress is far from the majority. Out of 104 seats, Congress managed just 29 while the BJP got 44 seats, Gupta said.
NCP (6) and BSP (5) could help the party pose challenge to BJP.
"They do not have (the) support of Nationalist Congress Party nor the support of BSP. Even Independents are not supporting the Congress," he claimed.
BJP, which requires 8 more for the halfway mark, said it will prove the majority as many Independents have vouched their support for the party.
"BJP has support of members whose number is more than required majority. It will not face any difficulty in getting its Mayor elected," Gupta said.
The elections to the newly trifurcated MCD was recently held and barring South, where no single party got a clear cut majority, both East and North was comprehensively won by the BJP.

I've got an amazing recipe for a chocolate mascarpone tart with toasted oatmeal shortbread crust. It tastes spectacular, but the crust comes out like a rock - just impossible to get through with your fork. Am I pressing it into the tart pan too firmly, maybe? Baking too long? Help! I want to make it again, but want to solve this problem first.
1/2 cup old-fashioned oatmeal, uncooked
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces (1 stick)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread the oatmeal on a rimmed baking sheet and toast in the oven until lightly golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
In a food processor, add the oatmeal, flour, sugar and salt. Pulse until combined and the oatmeal is chopped. Add the butter and continue to pulse until the mixture looks crumbly.
To make tart crust: Pat the dough into a 9- or 10-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Use the back of a measuring cup to help spread it evenly. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown.
Hi Claire - I'm sorry you haven't received an answer to this yet, I'm bumping it up to the top in hopes of getting more eyes on it. I've never had my shortbread come out rock hard, but I'd be inclined to agree with your guess that it might have baked for too long.
I think you might have pressed it down too firmly, also. The recipe is similar to the crust for Christina Tosi's crack pie. She breaks up the cookie and makes a press in crumb crust. You could try rescuing the crust in that way (it's a lot more butter, but oh well....) Here's the recipe: http://luckypeach.com/recipes...

ELIZABETH – On June 15, Elizabeth resident Lauren Blizzard will tackle the mucky obstacles at MuckFest MS to help overcome multiple sclerosis, a chronic disease of the central nervous system for which there is no cure. Taking on this 5-mile obstacle course would challenge the most experienced athlete, but imagine doing it while also dealing with multiple sclerosis; that is exactly what Blizzard will do. She will run for herself, as well as the over two million people worldwide who live with this disease.
The fundraiser will take place at Essex County South Mountain Reservation in West Orange and proceeds will go to support critical MS research and programs and services for those living with the disease
Two years ago, Blizzard started experiencing numbness throughout her body accompanied by extreme fatigue. These episodes lasted for a month and after several doctor visits, MRIs, and opinions, Blizzard was told she had multiple sclerosis. She has had to make many changes in her life because of the MS symptoms she deals with daily.
Since her diagnosis, Lauren has been on a disease modifying medication, Copaxone, to keep her MS in check. Along with that, she pays attention to when she is feeling sick or run down and takes a break. Keeping her stress levels low, and sleeping when she is tired, has also contributed to her overall health.
Blizzard decided to run MuckFest MS this year to push herself to exceed any physical boundaries that she and her MS diagnosis have placed on her. Blizzard says, "I don't want this disease to stop me from living my life the way I want to live it. This event is about me taking control of the little that I have control over, and exceeding my limits."
Blizzard is a teacher in Kenilworth and when some of her students heard she was participating in MuckFest MS they decided to support her by running along with her. Blizzard and team, Nerves of Steels, will jump feet first into the Muck and conquer every obstacle in their way as they help create a world free of MS.

I have learned the meaning of real friendship from observing Hiro and his mates over the past 6 years. They are a real beacon of what friendship ought to be.
Although Hiro left Japan when he was but a tender age, his friends have never lost touch with him and that is remarkable as their friendship started when they were all knee high to grasshopper. What they share today is a friendship spanning over 20 years.
I myself feel favoured to be able to call them my friends too now. Yes Hiro consider some of yer mates officially Jacked!
No visit to Tokyo is complete without them.
I think it's funny how seeing this place in Shimokita made them fink of me!
(I took this photo for my Somalian Pirate – wooooo hooo!)
In general we prefer shopping in the back streets. There are some brilliant men's boutiques in Shibuya look out for Neighborhood and Ice cream & Billionaire Boys Club
The smoking ban hasn't found itself in Japan yet.
People here smoke far too much.
If I cannot see you – You cannot see me?
The thing with shopping is that it really does work up an appetite.
We went to a great gyoza place in Shibuya, I think it is called Gyoza Yatai, where among the things we gobbled down were:
We ordered a veritable selection of yaki-gyoza;
Veg, garlic, shiso & cheese, prawn and pork.
Sansho aubergine and potatoes:
Have you ever tried sansho? It does weird things to your tongue and taste buds….like trippy shit!
sunset over Shibuya:
A wonderful sight.
The next day we had some time to pop into Shinjuku for some general junk shopping a la Worship Blues:
Tokyu Hands is a must visit place for me. Being a self confessed craft junky this is heaven and such a convenient place to find a heap of bits and bobs that I need all in one place.
Naturally, I just had to stop and stare at the cute stuff:
Essential for the kawaii arsonist!
While there Hiro stocked up on sensible stuff and I turned into a kid and bought…….
Aren't these transfers sooooo me?
Well soooo Worship Blues!
I also found these cutesy fairy tale inspired letter sets.
I just won't grow up!
Room for more grub?
We headed for a Tori-Testu in Shimokita and got our teeth into some skewered delightfulness!
The food here, especially the wings really tasty and reasonable.
The chili version:
The black miso version:
Shisho Tsukune I love this stuff!
juicy cooked to perfection yumminess.
Delicious all sorts:
Which included: Chicken livers, Quail eggs and Ginnan
We stuffed ourselves ….. AGAIN!
As we were in Tokyo during firework season, I welcomed the chance to see some Japanese fireworks (according to Hiro these are REAL fireworks).
Those that have tried will know how difficult it is to take photos of fireworks. Bravo Hiro for taking these!
Resembles a cosmic nebula type thing don't you think?
Wonderful colours.
Wheels of light.
I had such a brilliant time and was so touched that Hiro's friends went to such efforts to celebrate our wedding with us.

Bachelor Gulch Village has a long, rich history named fondly after a few lonely bachelors who settled in this little pristine and secluded valley in the early 1900's. This exclusive gated community is part of Beaver Creek Mountain, located on the adjoining ridge and part of the village-to-village ski experience between Beaver Creek Resort, Bachelor Gulch and Arrowhead. It is the only residential ski neighborhood entirely on-mountain in the Vail Valley. As a Bachelor Gulch Village homeowner, you can sit back and take in the panoramic views of the Gore Range to the east all the way to Castle Peak in the west. Once you pass through the private gates, you can admire the picturesque parkitecture, which the resort is known for, with rustic native stone, seasoned timbers and massive logs modeled after the iconic lodges found in national parks like Yosemite and Yellowstone. Visit The Ritz-Carlton®, the keystone of the resort, to experience fine dining at Spago, Wolfgang Puck's Colorado outpost, or pamper yourself at their outstanding newly renovated spa. This prestigious on-mountain community is for those who wish to live life luxuriously and appreciate what the early settlers understood over a century ago about this special place now called Bachelor Gulch Village.

Three men suspected of being involved in activities related to illegal drugs were found dead inside a tricycle in Dagupan City, Pangasinan, Friday night, after being shot by still unidentified assailants, police said.
The fatalities have already been identified as driver Napoleon Paraan, 45, of Mangaldan; Reynaldo Martinez, 47, and Mamerto Penuliar Jr., 49, both of Sta. Barbara, Senior Insp. Ryan Manongdo, Pangasinan provincial police spokesman, said.
The three were found lying lifeless inside a tricycle along the road leading to Sitio Silungan, Brgy. Bonuan Binloc, around 9 p.m.
"Witnesses said they heard several gunshots in the area before they discovered the trio," Manongdo said.
Responding policemen recovered a sachet of shabu inside the tricycle, he said.
Investigators are still trying to determine the assailants' identities and motive, but are looking at a possibility that the killings are related to illegal drug activities.
Sitio Silungan gained infamy after reports indicated that it is a haven for drug traffickers, Manongdo said.
Friday's killings came two weeks after five men also suspected of engaging in illegal activities were stabbed and shot dead inside a hut in Bugallon town. (John Roson)

'The sound is clear.'
Extremely slim profile, fits comfortably in a pocket no problem
'its screen is almost impossible to view while outdoors on a sunny day, and its body is creaky.'
'It is small enough to slip into most pockets and is available at a relatively low price.'
Lack of an optical zoom is disappointing
'straightforward digital camera'
'The Sony CyberShot DSC S2000 is compatible with a range of fast memory stick that makes it user friendly, and the AA alkaline batteries are common enough so that you can buy a new set wherever you are and whenever you need it.'

'high contrast'

Hey there and welcome to my blog today. This week I am going to showcase the cards we made at my Cookie Cutter Christmas Class at the end of September. My ladies got the bundle included in the cost of the class and we made 3 lovely projects, this being the first one - what I call the "warm up" project.
I wanted to share how versatile the stamps are and that the Teddy can be used for non-Christmas so we made this baby card. I gave the ladies the option of the Pool Party or they could choose pink or neutral, many of them opted for So Saffron which looked lovely.
I love the Tip Top Taupe ribbon on this card, you know me I love my bows, much to my ladies frustrations sometimes!
So I hope you liked todays offering? I will share the next project on Wednesday with you. Just a reminder about our offers below.

Oakwell Hall: For a Pleasant Afternoon in the Fresh Air2 Share Tweet
Slap bang in the middle of two West Yorkshire Postcodes (WF16 & BD19) sits the 'Famous' Oakwell Hall. Built in 1583, the Hall stands proud, and the grounds are open for visitors seven days a week.
Upon entering and getting the car parked, you take a walk down some flat (pushchair friendly) paths which take you past some sculptures, for the artistic natured:
Past some climbing and sliding entertainment, for the young at heart:
Love this photo of Evie (my niece) shouting down the Loud-haler:
The path winds across an open area where dogs can be walked, kites can be flown, and people can sit, and just enjoy the countryside scenery:
Across a small stream…
… and up towards the Hall itself. Here you will find a little more art:
Some ducks, cows, and a small cafe for refreshments:
And some fantastic countryside mossy walls:
On an overcast day like today, the views were a little bit muted, but in the sunshine it is truly glorious.
A great day out!
