Some people are given flowers, chocolates or socks as birthday gifts. Instead, I received a Ghost Writer Automatic Writing Kit...
I tested a "Spirit Writer" years ago and concluded that the practitioner's pages of "channeled" scrawl were a stream-of-consciousness style of writing that was about as paranormal as James Joyce's Finnegans Wake.I should explain that there are two types of "spirit writing". One kind is where an uninvited spirit supposedly leaves a message on your wall, a threat written in lipstick on your mirror, or a rude word on your post-it notes. A classic claim is the infamous story of Borley Rectory the original "Most Haunted Home in England", as researched by the early paranormal investigator Harry Price. In this case, 'victim' Marianne Foyster was supposedly haunted by ghosts and poltergeists, and received spirit writing pleas for "light mass prayers" and "please get help". It's now believed that Mrs Reverend Foyster faked the phenomena to divert attention away from her extra-marital affairs.
In contrast, spirit writing (also known as automatic writing or trance writing) is where a subject allegedly channels a spirit, becoming an intermediary for the spirit that controls a writing implement and writes 'though' the subject. It's a form of mediumship, but the communication is written rather than verbal. Infamous automatic writers include the "spirit" Patience Worth who allegedly wrote poetry and novels through her host Pearl Lenore Curran; and Rosemary Brown, who claimed that Bach, Beethoven, Chopin and other famous (not to mention deceased) composers dictated new works to her.
Now you too can "Become your own psychic medium!" gushes the blurb on the box. You might recall repressed memories, compose music or even contact someone famous. For $17.95 the kit includes the requisite "tools" for automatic writing. "All you need to contact the subtle vibrations of the spirit world" is their guidebook, a planchette, and...er...um... a pen.
I thought it was weird that the kit included a planchette (I know, I know, the whole thing is weird). A planchette makes automatic writing more like the ouija board game. I now suspected the ideomotor effect would come into play. However, without the words, letters and numbers of the ouija board, and the planchette restricting the movement of the hand and the control of the pen, I doubted that anyone could achieve more than an illegible scrawl with this kit.
Following the instructions carefully, I sat at a table with a piece of paper and the pen placed in the planchette. Then I was to "center" myself by performing "Protection Meditation". This ritual involved closing my eyes, breathing deeply, and visualizing:
...being at one with All There Is, or however you prefer to conceptualize the highest and most powerful force for good in the universe. Concentrate on this, the source of all light and love, for it is from this higher place that you will receive your information.
Upon opening my eyes I was instructed to utter:
The love I have for you is undiminished by time and distance. I know you love me, too, and I feel your protection around me. I invite you to share with me your loving guidance by using my hand to communicate your message for my highest good and greatest joy.
I closed my eyes again. To kickstart the session and "mentally let go" I begin moving the pen in a figure 8 motion, the "symbol of eternity". I then requested to speak to my spirit guide. I didn't know which one to ask for; every time a psychic has told me who my spirit guide is I've been given a different name...
Following the handbook, I asked a few questions; "Is there a spirit guide here?" As suggested in the book, I asked the spirits to adopt a Yes = Y or 1, No = N or 2 code to answer my questions. I also asked, "What is your name?" and "Please write a message for me." Asking questions of thin air reminded me of the practices of those who go hunting for "spirit voices" known as electronic voice phenomena.
I spent about 5 minutes attempting to channel a spirit, the time frame prescribed by the book for first time spirit writers. When I opened my eyes all I saw was a string of figure 8 shapes, in ever-widening circles. (See photo.) No messages, no words or symbols, other than the one I'd been instructed to draw.
The process was a little hypnotic, much like any kind of meditation, but there's nothing paranormal about that. Some actually use 'automatic' writing as a device to stimulate creativity, but there's nothing paranormal about that either.
According to the handbook, there are lots of limitations, caveats, and excuses, should the process fail: Avoid automatic writing when you are tired, stressed, distracted or skeptical. Even scribbles are supposedly meaningful in retrospect (that is, you will ascribe them meaning). But my favorite disclaimer is that if the resultant handwriting is unintelligible, the spirit had bad handwriting when he or she was alive. Perhaps this is when you've channeled a doctor!
After the test, I inspected the planchette. It's a flimsy pad made of thick foam, and if sufficient pressure is placed on the front section the pen could fall out of its holder easily. I made a careful attempt to sign my name using the planchette, but my signature looked like I'd tried to sign after I'd been in a fist-fight. (See photo.) Accordingly, even if one could summon spirits they'd have a hard time trying to write anything comprehensible.
In the end, I think the authors inadvertently stumbled across the explanation, should the process actually work: "The messages are supposed to come either from your subconscious mind or from a spirit entity." Barring the second bit, that is.
In this form, automatic writing is likely to be resultant of subtle motor movement. (See Ray Hyman's article explaining Ideomotor Action.) In effect, the automatic writer shouldn't expect to predict anything he or she doesn't already know. As the handbook says, don't attempt to channel the next winning lotto numbers because "spirit guides are notoriously useless when it comes to gambling." Why? Well, if you don't know the numbers, they don't either, because "they" are "you"...
Now for my caveat: this isn't intended to be a rigorous experiment. However, I followed the instructions closely, and this kit is intended to replicate a result for all users, i.e., the production of a message from a "spirit". I received a result that adhered to my initial hypothesis; I produced the figure 8, as instructed to do so by the book. I didn't even invoke the ideomotor effect.
During the mini experiment I didn't recall any repressed memories. Unlike Led Zeppelin, I didn't receive a satanic symbol that would bring me fame and fortune; and I didn't channel any poetry, artworks or music. I only created the kind of absent-minded doodle you'd draw when on the phone. I didn't contact Houdini, Carl Sagan or my deceased grandmother.
At least my fears of channeling the Fat Elvis were completely unfounded.

Bad Aftertaste
What went wrong? Was this supposed to happen? Should I throw it out? What do I do now?

Bad Aftertaste
Hello I just finished my first batch. It was a Sierra Nevada clone. Everything went fine. It has been bottle conditioning for about 1 week. The problem is when I tasted it, i had a very bad aftertaste I would describe like aspirin. When I steeped my grains I didn't have a thermometer so I just raised my water to a boil then turned down the burner till I had a nice steam coming off. If this is tannins from steeping my grains at too high of a temp will the beer improve with age? Thank you

Bad Aftertaste
It could be tannis but it sounds more like an infection. There have been batches that I could not determine where I went wrong as there are so many variables to consider. There are online charts and books that will assist you in troubleshooting. Ensure that you are taking good notes while you brew. They may add insight to where you went wrong.

Tannins will age out a bit, but slowly. Buy a thermometer, you can't guess at these temperatures if you want to make good beer.
The beer is also still very young, at 1 week in the bottle. You could be tasting green beer for the first time. A lot of hoppy beers will smooth out around 8 weeks post-brewing.

Sears Holdings Corp.said Thursday that it will spin off its smaller Hometown and Outlet stores as well as some hardware stores in a deal expected to raise $400 million to $500 million as it seeks to regain profitability and market share.
The operator of Sears and Kmart also says will sell 11 stores to the real estate company General Growth Properties for $270 million.
The moves drove Sears' stock up more than 13 percent in premarket trading.
The disclosures of the store plans came as the Hoffman Estates, Ill.-based company reported it swung to a loss in the fourth-quarter while revenue fell 4 percent to $12.48 billion. Adjusted earnings totaled 54 cents per share, below analyst expectations.
In a call with analysts, CEOLou D'Ambrosiosaid results were "unacceptable."
"We know that and are taking immediate actions to address it," he said.

Premature infant
A premature infant is a baby born before 37 completedweeks of
Alternative Names
Preterm infant; Preemie; Premie
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
At birth, a baby is classified as one of the following:
- Premature (less than 37 weeks gestation)
- Full term (37 to 42 weeks gestation)
- Post term (born after 42 weeks gestation)
If a woman goes into labor before 37 weeks, it is called preterm labor.
"Late preterm" babies who are born between 35 and 37 weeks gestation may not look premature. They may not be admitted to an intensive care unit, but they are still at risk for more problems than full-term babies.
Health conditions in the mother, such as diabetes, heart disease, and kidney disease, may contribute to preterm labor. Often, the cause of preterm labor is unknown. About 15% of all premature births are multiple pregnancies (twins, triplets, etc.).
Different pregnancy-related problems increase the risk of preterm labor or early delivery:
- A weakened cervix that begins to open (dilate) early, also called cervical incompetence
- Birth defects of the uterus
- History of preterm delivery
- Infection (such as a urinary tract infection or infection of the amniotic membrane)
- Poor nutrition right before or during pregnancy
- Preeclampsia -- high blood pressure and protein in the urine that develop after the 20th week of pregnancy
- Premature rupture of the membranes (
placenta previa)
Other factors thatincrease the risk forpreterm labor and a premature delivery include:
- Age of the moter(mothers who are younger than 16 or older than 35)
- Being African-American
- Lack of prenatal care
- Low socioeconomic status
- Use of tobacco, cocaine, or amphetamines
The infant may have trouble breathing and keeping a constant body temperature.
Signs and tests
A premature infant may have signs of the following problems:
- Anemia
- Bleeding into the brain or damage to the brain's white matter
- Infection or
neonatal sepsis
- Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
- Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, extra air in the tissue of the lungs (pulmonary interstitial emphysema), or bleeding in the lungs (pulmonary hemorrhage)
- Newborn jaundice
Problems breathing due to immature lungs, pneumonia, or patent ductus arteriosis
- Severe intestinal inflammation (necrotizing enterocolitis)
A premature infant will have a lower birth weight than a full-term infant. Common signs of prematurity include:
- Abnormal breathing patterns (shallow, irregular pauses in breathing called apnea)
- Body hair (lanugo)
- Enlarged clitoris (in female infants)
- Less body fat
- Lower muscle tone and less activitythan full-term infants
- Problems feeding due to trouble sucking or coordinating swallowing and breathing
- Small scrotum that is smooth and has no ridges, and undescended testicles (in male infants)
- Soft, flexible ear cartilage
- Thin, smooth, shiny skin that is often transparent (can see veins under skin)
Common tests performed on a premature infant include:
- Blood gas analysis to check oxygen levels in the blood
- Blood tests to check glucose, calcium, and bilirubin levels
- Chest x-ray
- Continuous cardiorespiratory monitoring (monitoring of breathing and heart rate)
When premature labor develops and cannot be stopped, the health care team will prepare for a high-risk birth. The mother may be moved to a center that is set up to care for premature infants in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
After birth, the baby is admitted to a high-risk nursery. The infant is placed under a warmer or in a clear, heated box called an incubator, which controls the air temperature. Monitoring machines track the baby's breathing, heart rate, and level of oxygen in the blood.
A premature infant's organs are not fully developed. The infant needs special care in a nursery until the organs have developed enough to keep the baby alive without medical support. This may take weeks to months.
Infants usually cannot coordinate sucking and swallowing before 34 weeks gestation.A prematurebaby may have a small, soft feeding tube placed through the nose or mouth into the stomach. In very premature or sick infants, nutrition may be given through a vein until the baby is stable enough to receive all nutrition through the stomach. (See:
If the infant has breathing problems:
- A tube may be placed into the windpipe (trachea). A machine called a ventilator will help the baby breathe.
- Some babies whose breathing problems are less severe receive continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) with small tubes in the nose instead of the trachea. Or they may receive only extra oxygen.
- Oxygen may be given by ventilator, CPAP, nasal prongs, or an oxygen hood over the baby's head.
Infants need special nursery care until they are able to breathe without extra support,eat by mouth, and maintain body temperature and body weight. Very small infants may have other problemsthat complicate treatment and require a longer hospital stay.
Support Groups
There are multiple support groups for parents of premature babies. Ask the social worker in the neonatal intensive care unit.
Expectations (prognosis)
Prematurity used to be a major cause of infant deaths. Improved medical and nursing techniques have increased the survival of premature infants. The longer the pregnancy, the greater the chance of the baby's survival. At least 90% of babies who are born at 28 weeks survive.
Prematurity can have long-term effects. Many premature infants have medical, developmental, or behavioral problems that continue into childhood or are permanent. The more premature an infant and the smaller the birth weight, the greater the risk of complications. However, it is impossible to predict a baby's long-term outcome based on gestational age or birth weight.
Possible long-term complications include:
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD)
- Delayed growth and development
- Mental or physical disability or delay
- Retinopathy of prematurity, vision loss, or blindness
Calling your health care provider
The best ways to prevent prematurity are to:
- Be in good health before getting pregnant
- Get prenatal care as early as possible in the pregnancy
- Continue to get prenatal care until the baby is born
Getting early and good prenatal care reduces the chance of premature birth.
Premature labor can sometimes be treated or delayed by a medication that blocks uterine contractions. Many times, however, attempts to delay premature labor are not successful.
Betamethasone (a steroid medication) given to mothers in premature labor can make some prematurity complications less severe.

Openbox Themes and Apps
This wiki article deals with customizing the appearance of Openbox in Arch Linux. Helper programs such as panels and trays are also explained.
- 1 Themes and appearance
- 2 Recommended programs
- 2.1 Display managers
- 2.2 Desktop compositing
- 2.3 Desktop utilities
- 2.4 File managers
- 2.5 Application launchers
- 2.6 Clipboard managers
- 2.7 Volume managers
- 2.8 Battery & CPU
- 2.9 Keyboard layout switchers
- 2.10 Logout dialog
Themes and appearance
With the exception of the Openbox Themes topic, the following section is intended for users who have configured Openbox to run as a standalone desktop, without the assistance of GNOME, KDE or Xfce.
Openbox themes
Openbox themes control the appearance of window borders, including the titlebar and titlebar buttons. They also determine the appearance of the application menu and on-screen display (OSD).
Some themes are available for installation with the openbox-themes package in the official repositories.
This package is by no means definitive. You can download more themes at websites such as:
Downloaded themes should be extracted to
~/.themes or
~/.local/share/themes and selected from obconf or lxappearance-obconf. Theme selection can also be done manually by opening
rc.xml and changing the <name> key in the <theme> section.
Creating new themes is fairly easy and well-documented. For those who prefer a GUI, obthemeAUR is a very capable editor.
X11 appearance
- Main article: Xdefaults
If you are running Openbox as a standalone, you will need to configure the .Xdefaults file.
Save a copy to
~/.Xdefaults and
/root/.Xdefaults (for windows opened as root).
Xdefaults is a user-level configuration dotfile, typically located at
~/.Xdefaults. When present, it is parsed by the xrdb (Xorg resource database) program automatically when Xorg is started, and can be used to set or override preferences for X and X applications. It can do many operations, including:
- defining terminal colours,
- configuring terminal preferences,
- setting DPI, antialiasing, hinting and other X font settings,
- changing the Xcursor theme,
- theming Xscreensaver and
- altering preferences on low-level X applications (xclock, xpdf, etc.)
X11 mouse cursors
Extract the desired Xcursor theme to either
/usr/share/icons (system-wide access) or
~/.icons (local user access). There are also a limited amount of themes available in the
[community] repository that can be installed using Pacman.
Add this to
Xcursor.theme: [name-of-cursor-theme]
[name-of-cursor-theme] is the name of the cursor theme directory. For example:
Xcursor.theme: Vanilla-DMZ-AA
To change the size:
Xcursor.size: [size]
Sometimes it is required to symlink the icon directory into each user directory to make the window manager use them:
$ mkdir ~/.icons $ ln -s /usr/share/icons/[name-of-cursor-theme] ~/.icons/default
For more information read the Arch Wiki: X11_Cursors
GTK themes
First, extract the desired theme to
/usr/share/themes (system-wide access) or
~/.themes (local user access), then:
GTK themes can be managed easily with the lxappearance (part of the LXDE Desktop), gtk-chtheme, or gtk-theme-switch2 utilities.
If you have the
gnome-settings-daemon running, it can keep you from changing the GTK theme by reverting back to original theme. By default, the
autostart file provided by Openbox runs it, so make sure that you do not have it running if you wish to properly use GTK themes.
For legacy GTK1 themes, install the gtk-theme-switchAUR package and run
switch to select a desired theme.
GTK fonts
To manually change the type and size of your fonts, add the following to
style "user-font" { font_name = "[font-name] [size]" } widget_class "*" style "user-font" gtk-font-name = "[font-name] [size]"
[font-name] [size] is the desired font and point size. For example:
style "user-font" { font_name = "DejaVu Sans 8" } widget_class "*" style "user-font" gtk-font-name = "DejaVu Sans 8"
font_name and
gtk-font-name fields are required for backwards compatibility.
You can also use gtk-chtheme or lxappearance to set GTK font settings.
GTK icons
First, extract the desired icon theme to
/usr/share/icons (system-wide access) or
~/.icons (local user access), then:
Add the following to
gtk-icon-theme-name = "[name-of-icon-theme]"
[name-of-icon-theme] is the name of the icon theme directory. For example:
gtk-icon-theme-name = "Tango"
~/.gtkrc-2.0 is configured to parse
# ~/.gtkrc-2.0 # -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT include "/usr/share/themes/Rezlooks-Gilouche/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" include "/home/username/.gtkrc.mine" # -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT
You can use lxappearance to choose GTK icon themes. Alternatively, use the development versions lxappearance-gitAUR ot lxappearance2-gitAUR and lxappearance-obconf-gitAUR for the latest features.
Desktop icons
Openbox does not provide a means to display icons on the desktop. To provide this function, one can use:
- Xfdesktop — The desktop manager for Xfce.
- PCManFM — An extremely fast and lightweight file manager used by the LXDE desktop.
- ROX — A small and fast file manager which can optionally manage the desktop background and panels, part of the ROX Desktop.
- IDesk — A simple tool that gives users of minimal wm's (Fluxbox, pekwm, Window Maker, Obenbox, etc) icons on their desktop.
- Nautilus — The file manager of the GNOME desktop.
Desktop wallpaper
Openbox itself does not include a way to change the wallpaper. This can be done easily with programs like Feh or Nitrogen. Other options include imagemagick, hsetroot, xsetbg and more advanced choices such as PCmanFM or Xfdesktop.
You can disable the wallpaper loading in gnome-settings-daemon like this:
$ gconftool-2 --set /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/background/active --type bool False
In Gnome 3 use:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background draw-background false
One approach, using
hsetroot is possible by placing the following command in
hsetroot -fill /path/to/image.file
A similar command for
feh is:
feh --bg-scale /path/to/image.file
Recommended programs
For a more complete choice of applications available on Arch, look at the list of common applications. You can also look at the list recommended on the official Openbox website, although most overlap with the following suggestions.
Display managers
- SLiM (Simple Login Manager) — A lightweight and elegant graphical login solution.
- Qingy — An ultralight and very configurable graphical login independent on X Windows (uses DirectFB). It supports login to either a text console or an X session.
Desktop compositing
- Xcompmgr — A lightweight composite manager capable of rendering drop shadows, fading and simple window transparency within Openbox and other window managers.
- Cairo Composite Manager — A versatile and extensible composite manager which uses cairo for rendering.
Desktop utilities
A number of utilities provide panels / taskbars, system trays, or pagers to Openbox:
- Avant Window Navigator — A lightweight dock which sits at the bottom of the screen.
- Bmpanel — A lightweight, NETWM compliant panel for the X11 system.
- Cairo-Dock — A highly customizable dock/laucher.
- Docker — A docking application which acts as a system tray.
- fbpanel — A lightweight, NETWM compliant desktop panel.
- LXPanel — A lightweight X11 desktop panel and part of the LXDE DE.
- Pancake — A highly configurable, modular panel for X.
- Tint2 — Simple panel/taskbar developed specifically for Openbox.
- wbar — A quick launch bar developed with speed in mind.
- GNOME Panel — The default Gnome panel.
- PerlPanel — A lightweight panel that supports applets.
- PyPanel — A lightweight panel/taskbar for X11 window managers written in Python.
- Screenlets — A widget framework that consists of small owner-drawn applications (weather widget, clocks, system monitors, mail checkers, etc.).
- Xfce Panel — The default Xfce panel.
- Stalonetray — A stand-alone system tray with minimal dependecies.
- Trayer — A lightweight GTK2-based systray.
- IPager — A configurable pager with transparency, originally developed for Fluxbox.
- Neap — An non-intrusive and light pager that runs in the notification area of your panel.
- Netwmpager — A NetWM/EWMH compatible pager.
- Pager — A highly configurable pager compatible with Openbox Multihead.
If you wish to set desktop layout without using a pager, try the obsetlayoutAUR package from AUR.
File managers
Two popular lightweight file managers are:
- PCManFM — An extremely fast and lightweight file manager used by the LXDE desktop.
- ROX — A small and fast file manager which can optionally manage the desktop background and panels, part of the ROX Desktop.
- Thunar — The file manager of the Xfce Desktop with many plugins and features.
For even lighter options, consider:
- Gentoo — A lightweight file manager for GTK.
- emelFM2 — A file manager that implements the popular two-pane design.
- Xfe — An Microsoft Explorer-like file manager for X (X File Explorer).
- muCommander — A lightweight, cross-platform file manager with a dual-pane interface written in Java.
Alternatively, you may use GNOME's Nautilus as your file manager. It is heavier and slower than the previous solutions, but Nautilus has many helpful features such as virtual file systems, allowing folder access via SSH, FTP, or Samba.
Application launchers
- gmrun — A lightweight GTK based application launcher, with ability to run programs inside a terminal and other handy features. To enable Template:Keypress functionality add the following to the <keyboard> section:
<keybind key="A-F2"> <action name="execute"><execute>gmrun</execute></action> </keybind>
- dmenu — A fast and lightweight dynamic menu for X, which is also useful as an application launcher. To enable Template:Keypress functionality add the following to the <keyboard> section:
<keybind key="A-F2"> <action name="execute"><execute>dmenu_run</execute></action> </keybind>
- Bashrun2 — Provides a different, barebones approach to a run dialog, using a specialized Bash session within a small xterm window. To enable Template:Keypress functionality add the following to the <keyboard> section:
<keybind key="A-F2"> <action name="execute"><execute>bashrun2</execute></action> </keybind>
To make Bashrun2 act more like a traditional run dialog add the following to the <applications> section:
<application name="bashrun2-run-dialog"> <desktop>all</desktop> <decor>no</decor> # switch to yes if you prefer a bordered window <focus>yes</focus> <skip_pager>yes</skip_pager> <layer>above</layer> </application>
- Kupfer — A launcher inspired by Quicksilver, written in Python. To enable Template:Keypress functionality add the following to the <keyboard> section:
<keybind key="A-F2"> <action name="execute"><execute>kupfer</execute></action> </keybind>
- Launchy — A less minimalistic approach; it is skinnable and offers more functionality such as a calculator, checking the weather, etc. It is launched with the Template:Keypress key combination.
- LXPanel — A lightweight X11 desktop panel and part of the LXDE DE. The run dialog can be executed with:
$ lxpanelctl run
- GNOME Panel — The default Gnome panel. The run dialog of the GNOME Panel can be executed with:
$ gnome-panel-control --run-dialog
Clipboard managers
You may wish to install a clipboard manager for a richer copy/paste experience.
xfce4-clipman-plugin, parcellite, or glipper-old can be installed via pacman. Add the clipboard manager to your
Volume managers
Gvolwheel, gvtray
Gvolwheel is an audio mixer which lets you control the volume through a tray icon. gvolwheel at AUR.
Gvtray is a master volume mixer for the system tray. gvtray at AUR.
Obmixer, PNMixer
Obmixer is an applet written in C. It intends to be a lighter alternative to Gnome's volume control. obmixer at AUR. Obmixer is no longer maintained.
PNMixer is a fork of Obmixer with a number of additions. PNMixer at AUR.
Volti is a GTK+ application for controlling audio volume from the system tray/ notification area. volti at AUR.
Volumeicon, volwheel
Volumeicon is a volume control for the system tray. volumeicon at AUR.
Volwheel is a tray icon which changes volume via mouse wheel. volwheel at AUR.
Battery & CPU
Trayfreq is a light battery monitor and a cpu frequency scaler.
Keyboard layout switchers
Fbxkb, xxkb, axkb
Keyboard indicator and switcher fbxkb at AUR.
Keyboard layout switcher/ layout indicator xxkb at AUR.
QT4 keyboard layout switcher axkb at AUR.
X neural switcher is a text analyzer. It detects the language of input and corrects it if needed. aneur at AUR.
Logout dialog
exitx and exitx-polkit are available in AUR as logout dialogs which use sudo and PolicyKit, respectively.
obshutdownAUR is great openbox shutdown manager.
Alternatively, you can also use openbox's menus to create a simple dialog. Which can also be binded to a key for easy access.
An example with
exit-menu as the id and Exit as the label(using PolicyKit/Dbus):
<menu id="exit-menu" label="Exit"> <item label="Log Out"> <action name="Execute"> <command>openbox --exit</command> </action> </item> <item label="Shutdown"> <action name="Execute"> <command>dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit" /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop</command> </action> </item> <item label="Restart"> <action name="Execute"> <command>dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit" /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Restart</command> </action> </item> <item label="Suspend"> <action name="Execute"> <command>dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend</command> </action> </item> <item label="Hibernate"> <action name="Execute"> <command>dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Hibernate</command> </action> </item> </menu>
Add this to your menu.xml, then later in your menu or pipemenu of choice call:
<menu id="exit-menu"/>
If you would like to bind this to a key, simply add this example keybind to the keyboard section your rc.xml:
<keybind key="XF86PowerOff"> <action name="ShowMenu"> <menu>exit-menu</menu> </action> </keybind>
This will bind it to your power button, if you prefer otherwise change XF86PowerOff to your preferred key.

For three weeks, the body of 21-year-old Canadian student Elisa Lam sat in the water tank of the Hotel Cecil in Los Angeles. Guests complained of funny tasting water and faucets that "ran black", and yet no one ever thought a discovery as gruesome as this would happen.
There are so many creepy and horrifying aspects to this story, it's worse than any Japanese horror film with a bad American remake (Dark Water). Let's start with the video that has been widely circulated of a seemingly terrified Lam trying to press elevator buttons and failing, gesturing wildly to some unseen "person" or thing off-camera. What. The. Hell. And then there is the hotel itself.
The Hotel Cecil is a budget hotel in downtown Los Angeles where some people live. Always a bad sign in a hotel. But even worse, its history chills the bones.
In 1962, a woman jumped to her death from the top of the building and landed on a pedestrian passing by who she also killed. Rumor has it that the Black Dahlia -- the most famous unsolved murder in LA's history -- hung out there before her grisly murder. "Night Stalker" serial killer Richard Ramirez used to stay there.
Terrifyingly, Ramirez isn't the only serial killer to call the hotel "home" briefly. Johann "Jack" Unterweger, an Austrian serial killer, stayed at the Cecil Hotel for five weeks in 1991 while murdering prostitutes. He then killed himself just a few blocks away as the police closed in on him. Yes. Seriously.
The Lam death is scary, mysterious, and as yet unsolved. Was she murdered? Did she have a psychotic break and climb into the water tank on her own? Was she trying to hide from someone?
We don't know anything so far. The only thing I know is that I won't be staying at the Hotel Cecil the next time I am in Los Angeles. I am not sure if I believe in ghosts exactly, but I do believe in energy and the importance of it. A hotel with this many tragedies can't possibly have good energy. And if I did believe in ghosts, I would have to believe that some are in the Hotel Cecil.
Of course, none of this solves whatever happened to this poor girl. Whatever happened, her death is a horrible tragedy and I hope her family is able to get some kind of answer soon.
Would you stay in the Hotel Cecil?

How to Choose a Good Handyman?
Finding and working with a good home improvement contractor is an essential part of home ownership. Contractors can help you quickly whittle down a long list of small home repair projects, and they can also perform major renovations that are too large to be handled on your own. Learning how to choose a good handyman is crucial. Without carefully choosing the right contractor, you may end up overpaying or receiving shoddy work quality. A good handyman will perform high-quality work at a reasonable fee, and will be respectful of you and your home.
Should I find handymen online?
To augment the recommendations made by friends and family, search for handymen online. Customer review websites like Yelp are helpful for assessing contractors, and specialized sites like Local411 offer directories of service professionals like handymen. Checking the contractor"s own website is helpful, but reading third-party feedback is a better way to assess the quality and value of the contractor"s work.
How Did You Find the Handyman?
First, you need to evaluate how you found them. Though you can easily google "handyman" and click on the first name you find, that likely is not how you want to handle your important home repair.
Is the Handyman Insured?
While licenses is not always necessary for handymen duties, insurance is highly recommended for liability sake. If the handyman is injured while working on your property, you're held responsible.
Did They Present You With An Estimate?
A good handyman will present you with some sort of written estimate and plan. It may be a rough outline of what to expect, but it should explain the problem and how it will be fixed.
What is your working day like?
It's important for both homeowners and contractors to know what to expect on construction days before work begins, even if you don't plan on being home while the work is being done. The targeted questions you'll want to ask include:
- What are the approximate start and end times for construction day(s)?
- Do I need to remove any items that are in or near work areas?
- What will the noise level be like?
- Do you need me to be home at any point during the day?
You should also advise your contractor on key information about the project prior to your start date:
- The parking situation in your neighborhood
- Which restrooms, if any, are available for use
- Where available power outlets are located
- Who, if anyone, will be home during construction (including pets)
How and where will tools and materials be stored if the job spans multiple days?
Part of keeping a clean, clutter-free workspace once the team has left for the day includes putting tools away. If they have large pieces of equipment they plan on storing in your home every evening, be sure to discuss where they will be kept and how they will be transported there.
What steps will you take to protect my property?
This may be one of the toughest questions to ask your contractor simply for the fact that it may seem disrespectful. However, it's an important one that you'll need to ask in advance of construction.
Your contractor should be willing to take reasonable measures to protect your property, so be sure to ask what specifically he'll do:
- Will you use tarps to cover large furniture items and surfaces in work areas?
- Will crew members wear shoe coverings when they enter my home?
- Will you recommend items that I should move to other areas of my home to protect them from damage?
- Will you close or lock doors as necessary when entering and leaving my home?
How will additional charges be dealt with?
It's critical that your contractor be clear that he won't spend a penny over your agreed-upon budget without first gaining your approval — and if you hire him, this should also be specified in your contract.
How do we resolve any disagreements?
A contractor that asks questions is trying to uncover what you really want, but one that just nods and agrees with anything you say is not. They're not really diagnosing the problem and getting to the heart of what you need. An open dialogue helps ensure that both parties are staying on top of the project, and are setting clear and reasonable expectations of how the project will go.

LONGMONT -- More than two years ago, Smaug, a black and white cat with an independent streak, went missing from his Longmont home.
On Wednesday afternoon, he was reunited with his owner.
"Oh my God, look how big you are," said Melissa Park to the meowing cat inside a kennel at the Longmont Humane Society.
Smaug -- named after the dragon from J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit" -- had always had a touch of wanderlust. He once spent an entire summer outside, said Park, 42, who drove to Longmont from Minneapolis to pick up the long-lost cat.
Park found the cat, then a feral kitten, in 2006 while hiking a trail to Fragrance Lake Trail in Chuckanut, Wash. She and her now ex-husband affectionately referred to the adventurous kitty as TDC, or That Damn Cat.
A microchip her ex had implanted between Smaug's shoulder blades helped Longmont Humane Society staff track down Park and her ex after a Longmont couple brought the cat to the shelter on Monday.
"When he came to us, he seemed quite well-cared for," said Mallory Hochwender, the humane society's client care team lead.
Despite living outside for two years, the cat appeared well-fed and healthy. Humane society staff believe a number of cat-lovers fed and cared for Smaug during his travels. Especially for cats, which tend to wriggle out of collars and roam outside, a microchip implant is crucial, Hochwender said.
"Microchipping is a fail-safe way to make sure your animals come home," she said.
In Smaug's case, Melissa's ex kept the contact information on the microchip updated over the years, which helped humane society staff track down the couple.
Park and her husband divorced in 2009, and he moved to Longmont for work, bringing the cat with him. When Smaug went missing in early 2010, the couple assumed their fearless cat encountered a new kind of predator and was a goner. When Park's ex eventually moved back to Seattle, he left without a cat.
Earlier this week, while hiking along the Mississippi River in Minnesota, Park received a call from the Longmont Humane Society about her cat. Her ex, Chuck Park, is a software engineer in Seattle and got the same call. The couple decided that Melissa would pick up Smaug and drive the cat to her ex-husband's home in Seattle. The cat will either live there or come stay with her in Bellingham, which is about 100 miles north, said Park, who bought a blue carrier, cat food and a few toys for the two-day drive.
Wednesday's reunion was cautious. It had been several years since Park had seen the cat, and she wasn't sure of the reception she would get. Smaug seems a little aloof, though he did allow himself to be briefly picked up and snuggled.
"I just wish he could talk," Park said.
Park describes her lifestyle as transient. She did a month-long yoga teacher training in India earlier this year and recently completed a six-month hike along the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada.
In that respect, Smaug is her kindred spirit.
"We're fierce, and we're independent, and we can't be caged, and we want to roam when it's nice outside," she said.
Over the years, she considered getting another cat, but she held off.
"I have wanted a cat," she said. "I just didn't want a cat. I wanted my cat."

Life ain't fair
Followed by today's news about Lytro light field camera pricing and availability announced it was really no other way than to go on their home page and click the button "I want one". The result was extremely disappointing:
It's a global revolution but we
only ship to the US for now
That said - patience must be rewarded with a next and better model (actual 3d with no glasses = holograms?).

New Year, New Ideas for Gena's Genealogy
As I think about my blogging "style" and what I want to convey to my readers, I've decided on some ideas I will implement in 2010. If you are a regular reader to my blog you may know that I tend to try to post article, websites, and tips that will help you in researching your ancestor. My hope is that these ideas will help you and provide new ideas for your research and new discoveries.
So for 2010 I will continue with Church Record Sunday. This is a series that I developed where I write about church records, websites, and other sources having to do with your ancestor's religious records. I try to highlight all kinds of religions and sources.
I will also start a weekly series 52 Weeks of Genealogy Sources (ok, I'm not very good at coming up with snazzy titles). I will explore 1 resource a week and explain it and where you can find it. These will be sources that can be found on the internet, at a library or an archive. My hope is to bring up some sources that you may not have known about.
Peppered into those postings will be social history websites, books I love and other ideas for your genealogy.
I hope you will take this week leading into the New Year and think about your genealogy and how you want it to be different next year. This is the time to think about lines to research, new aspects of genealogy and history that you want to learn about, conference and events to go too. Now is the time to think of what you want to discover this year and start making plans.
I know I will be....

Looking forward to reading your blog in 2010. I can't wait to see the 52 sources posts.

I hope you can shed some light on sources for church records for me. When I went back to the church I (and my husband) attended as a child, teenager, and young adult, I was treated extremely shabbily, like they were convinced I was an identity thief up to no good when all I wanted was some genealogical information on my aunt and on my husband's grandfather.
That really left a bad taste in my mouth and put me off pursuing church records.
Good luck to you, and I will be interested to see what you have to say on every day, not just on Sunday!
- Cindy said...
Gena I've been away for a while and look forward to reading all your new topics and tips in the new year!
- Gena Philibert Ortega said...
I'm so sorry about your experience. I think we live in a world that is so worried about identity theft we've gone a little crazy. I always think it's funny when states don't want to release death records. What kind of identity theft would a person do with a death record? And before people start emailing me, yes I realize it's in the realm of possibilities but it's very small compared to the way identity theft is usually done.
A large amount of identity theft is done by someone the victim knows. Then we have a large amount done by those on the computer stealing credit cards numbers and such. I doubt they are paying to go to the county recorder's office to purchase a death certificate....
Anyway...as I try to access records I try to be as kind and humble as possible. If an entity is weary of letting me have the information, I point out what I already know about the person. That way I try to present it as I know most of the information anyway, I'm just verifing it.
I try to write first and then if it is a place I can visit, ask when it is a good time to do that. Technicially places like churches, funeral homes, etc don't have to give you any information. We all know that they have living people to take care of and that our requests aren't their priority. So I try to make it as easy as I can for them to give it to me. In the case of a church, a donation can't hurt.
I hope you don't give up Karen, try again but write a letter and provide a small donation. Sometimes people have bad days.

I have found having series - as you mention - is good for a blog even if there are interruptions. One of the main features of my blog is my postcard collection and I find that people enjoy it when the postcards are organized by theme (e.g. Montreal in the time of tramways). It helps me too because my blog feels more organized to me and it encourages me to keep creating different types of posts.
thanks for a useful article

Even though I grew up in Bangalore, the home town of the famous restaurant MTR, I was never familiar with the MTR masalas, powders and spices then. The main reason being that my Mom is a wonderful cook and she made all the powders for sambhar, rasam, vaangi bhaat, pulliyogere etc from scratch at home.
Fast forward some?years when I got married and came to the United States, I found myself as a clueless cook shouldering the responsibility of cooking. I used to crave for comfort food like rasam, sambhar etc food that I grew up with and that is when I discovered these MTR powders. My pantry now is adorned with variety of these powders and one of our favorite is the MTR rasam powder and the taste of the rasam is delicious!
- ? cup toor daal
- ?2 medium ripe tomatoes
- 4-5 curry leaves
- ?4 tsp MTR rasam powder
- Coriander leaves for garnishing
- 1 Tbsp Tamarind juice
- ?2-3 red chillies
- ?Jeera/ cumin seeds
- 1 tsp Mustard seeds
- oil
- salt
- Pressure cook the toor daal with little jeera and turmeric.
- ?Meanwhile dice the tomato into small pieces.
- Heat 2 tsp of oil in a vessel and add the mustards. After they splutter, add jeera and curry leaves and reduce the heat a bit.
- Next cut the red chillies into small pieces add to this and fry for a little while.
- Add the finely diced tomatoes, salt and let it cook for a while until the water from the tomato disappears.
- Add about 4 spoons of Rasam powder and mix well. Stream in little bit of oil so that the powder mixes well and cooks with the rest of the ingredients.
- Add the tamarind paste and cook again.
- Next add the mashed toor daal and let it boil for about 5- 10 minutes.
- Check taste and if necessary, add more rasam powder, salt, tamarind.
- Finally garnish with coriander leaves.

Welcome back to Have a HEART, Part 2, Exploring the role of EMOTIONS in todays business world.
In part 1, I introduced the subject of emotions in business and why they're becoming increasingly important in staging customer experiences and influencing buying decisions. I also shared some ground breaking research, conducted by Colin Shaw and his Company, Beyond Philosophy. That research revealed for the first time ever "the empirical link between evoking certain emotions along the customer experience journey, and increasing and decreasing revenue".
Wow -- what an information packed article on the importance of emotions in marketing, branding, customer experience and the link to effective storytelling.
As I work with clients on their biz stories, identifying, articulating, and consciously working with emotions in their content and marketing is challenging for them.
This article is going to be a huge assist in helping them (and you) figure it all out. There are plenty of examples and links to other resources so you will want to bookmark this article and keep digging into its material.

(WENN) — Tiffany Haddish requests to be paid the "guy fee" when negotiating her pay for projects.
The comedy star's career has gone from strength to strength since her breakthrough role as Dina in 2017's "Girls Trip" and she has most recently appeared in "The Oath" and "Night School."
While achieving pay parity for actresses in Hollywood continues to be a major topic of discussion, Tiffany has now shared that she's not afraid to talk about money and will always command the fee that she believes she deserves.
"You know what they say? 'A close mouth don't get fed.' And a lot of times we don't open our mouths because we don't even really know what we're supposed to get," she said in an interview with Variety magazine. "So, that's why I do the research. I ask around. I've made friends with line producers that cut those checks, production managers, so I can be like, 'So, on average, how much does a girl get paid for? How much does a guy get paid?' O.K., I'm gonna ask for the guy fee on this one."
Tiffany went on to argue that women in the entertainment industry don't typically get paid the same as male counterparts because they don't "talk about it".
And becoming financially secure is an important milestone for the star, who once lived in her car while she was working on getting her big break.
"I care about being able to take care of my grandma, take care of my mama, my niece, my sister, and brother, and if I ever have children take care of them, create some generational wealth," the 38-year-old insisted. "And I think the only way to do that is to have some money so you can buy some land and things like that, and then buy a studio. Yeah, I need cheques! I don't think anybody's obligated to give me anything. I only think I deserve what I work for and that's that."

Lindsey B. Mayer works on her model of the set for An Enemy of the People, which was chosen for the student exhibit at the Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space.
Scenic design student Lindsey B. Mayer has a great story to tell when people ask her "How was your summer?"
Lindsey, a senior from Philadelphia, spent two weeks in the Czech Republic after her design was selected to be part of the student exhibit at The Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space, the world's largest theatrical design conference and festival, which takes place every four years.
"I was fully shocked," says Lindsey of her reaction to receiving the news that her design was chosen from more than 450 submissions from undergrad and grad students in the U.S. "I read the email at least three times to make sure I comprehended it. I couldn't stop smiling all day."
The set design Lindsey submitted was a model for An Enemy of the People, which she created as part of her final for Scene Design I class. The students could choose any Pittsburgh theater space to place their work, and Lindsey chose the New Hazlett Theater.
"The more industrial look of the space is a great choice for the piece, but building a 1/2"=1'0" scale model of this quite large theater is a huge challenge," says Associate Professor Stephanie Mayer-Staley, who taught the class. "Lindsey went beyond the expectations of the class and showed herself to be quite ambitious and determined."
Lindsey was accompanied to Prague by a group that included Mayer-Staley; Point Park students Cassandra Bass, Maddie Bucci, Madison DeCoske and Shiori Saito; adjunct instructor Mark Staley; and Point Park alum and freelance lighting designer Scott Nelson.
When the group arrived at the student exhibit at the Quadrennial, they discovered another familiar model on display. Richard Preffer, a Point Park senior, had submitted a piece to be exhibited but never received an acceptance letter; however, his design of An Enemy of the People was in the exhibition.
"When we perused the display, we were amazed to also discover Richard's work," says Mayer-Staley, who added that Richard's model, which was set in the City Theater's main stage, was also done for her Scene Design I class. "He was unfortunately not able to join us in Prague."
Lindsey says attending the Quadrennial was a "surreal experience."
"The Quadrennial was very humbling," says Lindsey. "There were so many amazing artists, and they were all there to provide a different perspective and opinion on our world."
Adds Staley-Mayer, "We witnessed unbelievable new ideas in theater architecture and soaked up productions and improvisations that rocked our world because they were so different from the theater we are used to. It sometimes left us speechless."
While at Point Park, Lindsey has been a part of several productions, including designing the set for The REP production of The Lonesome West, which received rave reviews from the press (read reviews from the Post-Gazette, Tribune-Review and Pittsburgh City Paper.)
"The main reason I chose Point Park University over other programs is the fantastic hands-on experience. If I had gone elsewhere for my education, I don't think I would be graduating with this many designs under my belt and this many contacts in the business," Lindsey says. "If you are prepared to work, Point Park will see that you get the best opportunities available. They definitely took care of me."

2014 Open Space Summer Series: The Gentle Art of Wandering
Wonder as You Wander
When I was a kid, a music teacher came to our school every other week. She had long hair, wore crocheted maxi skirts and played the autoharp. I was in love. She led us in songs like "The Happy Wanderer." Like all kids, we showed the most vigor during the chorus: "Val-dera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!" Pure joy. That sense of unbridled pleasure at being outdoors is what writer David Ryan will get at in his talk, "The Gentle Art of Wandering," Saturday evening at the Elena Gallegos Picnic Area (7100 Tramway NE). The idea is to ditch any agenda, expect to find something interesting wherever you walk and to pay attention so that you find it. You don't even have to leave the city—urban wandering offers plenty of delights. It's really about encouraging your senses to come to life and being mindful as you wander, which isn't a bad way to approach pretty much all of life (don't forget to carry water wherever you wander). Ryan will share tips and observations, which also appear on his blog: gentleartofwandering.com (his book of the same title is available there). As part of the City's Saturday Sunset Series, the talk happens on June 14 at 7pm, and is free and open to all. (Kathy Freise)

The cartoon, published in the Greenfield Recorder just days after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, captures the feelings of many Americans at the time. A sharp contrast is drawn between King's nonviolent message and the events surrounding his death. In a style typical of the great cartoonist Herblock, King holds a book containing his ideals and confronts the tools of violence; a white hand with a gun and a black hand holding a torch. The contrast is heightened by the title, a reference to King's famous "I Have a Dream" Speech.

Working the Week 1 NFL Odds: Part I
Do you gamble? I love to gamble. Well on football anyway. For me it isn't about winning money, its just about being right. Ego trip. That isn't to say that on the instances where my payoffs have been big, that I wasn't happy; but rather to take note of the fact that the sense of accomplishment probably out-weighed the financial gain.
So the start of another NFL season and the Redskins' first game, is just part of the rapture that I get to enjoy this week, with the other part being that I get to start shuffling money. You see, I know when I am looking at the NFL Week One Odds that even if I win big this week or at any point, there's always a good chance that I'm NOT going to win. It's the nature of the beast. So if I look at my gambling winnings and losses as "shuffling" – it's a good way for myself personally to make sure that I always bet responsibly. Read the rest of this entry »

Fatto A Mano
"Fatto a Mano" combines the sophistication of hand-made glass in the style of the ancient Venetian tradition with the very latest 21st century glass making technology, using fully automated machine-blown techniques. The ancient, colorful Venetian glass making tradition inspired and ignited the thought process and lead the way towards the required design, where the stem and base would be made by hand and the bowl blown by machine.
Frequently asked questions
All current produced items are made of crystal glass and lead free.
For a perfect result:
- Wash under warm water, detergent is not necessary.
- Place on line to drain for the time begin.
- For extra shine, steam over boiling water.
To polish use microfiber polishing cloths: Hold glass by base and polish. Use left hand to cradle the bowl and polish with your right hand. Never twist the base and bowl.
To avoid scratches: Avoid contact with other glass or metal. lf available use a stemware rack.
To avoid stains: Use soft water (low mineral content).
To remove stains: Use white vinegar.
We do not have measurements to offer on each glass in regards to the thinness of the lip, but all RIEDEL glasses are beautiful thin blown crystal. Our rims are "cut", which allows the wine to flow smoothly onto the tongue vs. being "rolled" which obstructs the smooth flow of the wine which accentuates acidity and harshness.
