System Specification
Note, ThinkPad T400 is available in a few hardware variants. Check the ThinkWiki where details of hardware specification are discussed in the T400 category.
Below is an overview of the T400 specifications as originally used to start this article:
- CPU : Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T9400 (6M Cache, 2.53 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB)
- Memory : 3GB PC3-8500 DDR3
- WiFi : Intel WiFi Link 5300
- Hard-Drive : 160GB, 7200rpm
- Optical Drive : DVD Recordable
- Integrated Graphics : Intel 4500MHD
- Discrete Graphics : AMD M82XT Hybrid 256 MB (ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470)
- Screen : 14.1" WXGA+ TFT with LED Backlight
- Gigabit Ethernet, Modem
- Express Card & PC Card Slots
- Integrated Bluetooth PAN
- No camera
- No fingerprint reader
- No Intel Turbo Memory
The kernel module to get the network card to work is
Lenovo offers different options in wireless hardware:
Intel chipset
- Wifi link 5100 and 5300
The drivers are included in the 2.6.27 kernel. However, it's important to make sure that you have the correct firmware. I installed the iwlwifi-5000-ucode. See this section for more details.
Realtek chipset
- Rtl8192SE
11b/g/n Wireless Lan Mini-PCI Express Adapter II 03:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8172 (rev 10)
See http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkPad_11b/g/n_Wireless_LAN_Mini-PCI_Express_Adapter_II for more details.
Realtek r8192se_pci Driver
Finally came the expected driver (alpha? beta?), I think it's premature but it works perfectly.
Get the driver from Realtek's website (r8192se_pci):
32 & 64 bits: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true
untar; make; make install; reboot and enjoy it
I found it would not build unless I installed linux-headers and created a directory at /etc/acpi/events.
The reboot step is also unnecessary, it is available for modprobing immediately.
I test it with:
- netcfg
- standar commands:
ifconfig wlan0 up iwlist wlan0 scan iwconfig wlan0 essid MySsid wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf dhcpcd wlan0
There is also a package available in the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34281
Ndiswrapper option: If you have a 32-bit version of arch, it should be possible to get it working with ndiswrapper:
- Download this .exe file: http://www.station-drivers.com/telechargement/realtek/wifi/rtl-8191se_1080.7.0520%28www.station-drivers.com%29.exe
- Install the extra/p7zip package and use the included utility 7z to extract the contents of the .exe:
7z x rtl-8191se_1080.7.0520(www.station-drivers.com).exe
- Copy the files net8192se.inf and rtl8192se.sys from the 91_92_SE_Driver/Win2K directory to a location of your choosing.
- Proceed with the normal ndiswrapper installation procedure.
Unfortunately, if you are running a 64-bit version of arch then it seems you are out of luck currently; the WinX64 drivers included in the above package do not work.
For more information, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1182457 and http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=Special_Interest_Linux&message.id=1196 .
There is a module "hsfmodem" provided by http://www.linuxant.com/.
If you have thinkpad-acpi kernel module loaded, you can enable and disable Bluetooth from command line. To enable:
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/bluetooth_enable
To disable:
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/bluetooth_enable
To disable or enable Bluetooth at startup, add one of the above commands to
The bluetooth module requires
uhci_hcd. Make sure
/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf does not blacklist it.
For everything else related to Bluetooth, follow the procedure described in Bluetooth section of the Arch Wiki.
Graphics/Xorg Configuration
Note that it's possible to switch the graphics adapter by only restarting X, but It's quite useless since you can't power up/down a graphic-card without rebooting. So it's either both graphic-card on at all times, or do the switching in the BIOS.
So please press the ThinkVantag-button» during boot up and enable either the Integrated or the Discrete graphics cards in your BIOS's "Config->Display" menu.
Note that I enabled the testing repository, which gave me access to :
- xorg-server version 1.5.3
- xf86-video-intel version 2.4.3
- xf86-video-ati version 6.10.0
- xf86-video-radeonhd 1.2.4
- catalyst version 8.12
Integrated Graphics
After installing xorg, I installed the xf86-video-intel drivers. As root, I then ran X -configure. The generated xorg.conf worked fine. I did apply the 2D and 3D optimization, and performances in compositing window managers (like compiz or kwin) seem to have increased. I have not made any scientific measurements though.
Note : Some people have encountered problems with 3D on 2.6.28 kernels and xf86-video-intel version 2.4.3.
The following xorg.conf file was tested on a T400 with an integrated card with the 1280x800 resolution provided by the default Intel Integrated Intel GMA 4500MHD (I included the Input devices for reference)

NB Installing extra/libdrm and forcing discrete graphics in the bios fixed hanging problems when X quit.
Here is a minimal xorg.conf in which the Virtual screen size is specified, so that one enables support for dual monitor.
Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Configured Monitor" Device "Configured Video Device" SubSection "Display" Virtual 2464 1500 EndSubSection EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" EndSection
Discrete Graphics
All 3 ATI drivers worked. That is both open-source drivers (
xf86-video-ati and
xf86-video-radeonhd) and fglrx (the
catalyst proprietary drivers).
I could not get the
xf86-video-radeonhd drivers to detect my external monitor, but
xf86-video-ati worked fine. Remember to remove
catalyst and
catalyst-utils and reboot before using an open source ATI drivers. ATI uses its own OpenGL library in its proprietary drivers, which is included in
catalyst-utils and conflicts with libgl. As it did with the integrated graphics, running X -configure generated a working xorg.conf.
To get the catalyst drivers working, you do have to configure your xorg.conf properly. I used aticonfig --initial to generate a working xorg.conf. I did encounter a problem that I have not been able to solve yet : resizing a window in a compositing window manager takes 1-2 seconds. This makes the drivers pretty much unusable.
Switchable Graphics
Is currently not supported by the kernel. You can enable switchable-graphics in the BIOS and make Xorg do the switching, but then both cards will always use power and generate lots of heat. See the gentoo-wiki to keep up too date on the issue.
You can also try David Arlile's patch to power off the unused card. See http://airlied.livejournal.com/71434.html and http://linux-hybrid-graphics.blogspot.com/.
If you want to enable hotplugging you probably do not need a xorg.conf. But if you are using xf86-video-ati you might temporarely need to disable KMS, by adding "nomodeset" to your kernel-line in "/boot/grub/menu.lst". If you do not want to disable KMS you can probably install some radeon firmware, see the Ati-wiki.
Since all the mouse/keyboard configuration is taken care of by HAL you will need some config files in "/etc/hal/fdi/policy/" For instant "mouse-wheel.fdi" to enable TrackPoint-scrolling:
<match key="info.product" string="TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint"> <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheel" type="string">true</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelButton" type="string">2</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.YAxisMapping" type="string">4 5</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.XAxisMapping" type="string">6 7</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.Emulate3Buttons" type="string">true</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelTimeout" type="string">200</merge> </match>
More information in the TrackPoint can be found here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_configure_the_TrackPoint. The Keyboard layout is controlled by "/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi" Modify it like this to change your layout. If you have any more questions on hotplugging (like how to enable tapping), take a look at it's wiki page.
If you want to be able to use horizontal and vertical scroll with your touchpad add this lines to your xorg.conf
Section "Module" ...... Load "synaptics" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Touchpad" Driver "synaptics" Option "AlwaysCore" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse1" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "LeftEdge" "1632" Option "RightEdge" "5312" Option "TopEdge" "1575" Option "BottomEdge" "4281" Option "FingerLow" "25" Option "FingerHigh" "30" Option "MaxTapTime" "180" Option "MaxTapMove" "220" Option "VertScrollDelta" "100" Option "MinSpeed" "0.06" Option "MaxSpeed" "0.12" Option "AccelFactor" "0.0010" Option "VertEdgeScroll" "on" Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "on" # Option HorizScrollDelta""0" Option "SHMConfig" "on" EndSection
for trakpoint with third button paste & scroll add this few lines to xorg.conf too
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Trackpoint" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "Auto" Option "Emulate3Buttons" Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50" Option "EmulateWheel" "on" Option "EmulateWheelTimeout" "200" # adjust third button paste timeout. Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2" Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7" Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection
finally update your layout
Section "ServerLayout" InputDevice "Trackpoint" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Touchpad" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection
Once you have ALSA installed, fire up alsamixer and make sure that sound is not muted. You might also want to press the Volume Up or Volume Down button. It seems than the Mute button mutes everything, even system beeps. Pressing the Volume Up or Volume Down button can unmute, but not pressing the Mute button again.
Here's the modules I have loaded that are relevant to sound :
$ lsmod | grep snd snd_seq_oss 35584 0 snd_seq_midi_event 9344 1 snd_seq_oss snd_seq 58336 4 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq_device 9364 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq snd_hda_intel 474672 2 snd_hwdep 10632 1 snd_hda_intel snd_pcm_oss 45568 0 snd_pcm 82440 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 24720 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 10640 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm snd_mixer_oss 18944 1 snd_pcm_oss snd 64840 16 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_hda_intel,snd_hwdep,snd_pcm_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mixer_oss soundcore 9632 1 snd
Additionally, there is a patch for the audio driver for conexant's chipsets provided by http://www.linuxant.com which can be downloaded at http://www.linuxant.com/alsa-driver/.
Multimedia Keys
The screen brightness controls and the flashlight work without any tweaking. The other keys can be mapped using xev and xbindkeys. By following this guide you should be able to get everything working, but here's summary :
- First, open a terminal and type
xev. This starts the "Event tester".
- Place your cursor on the "Event tester" window.
- When you press a key on your keyboard or move your mouse, it should get displayed in a terminal. For instance, this is what shows up if you press Fn+F2
KeyRelease event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x3000001, root 0x86, subw 0x0, time 5537544, (76,110), root:(81,938), state 0x0, keycode 146 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False
It basically says that keycode 146 is not bound (NoSymbol). Here are all the keycodes of all multimedia buttons:
Volume Down : keycode 174 Volume Up : keycode 176 Fn+F2 : keycode 146 Fn+F3 : keycode 241 Fn+F4 : keycode 223 Fn+F5 : Not responding to events ?? Fn+F7 : keycode 214 Fn+F8 : keycode 249 Fn+F9 : keycode 207 Fn+F12 : keycode 165 Fn+Up : keycode 164 Fn+Down : keycode 162 Fn+Left : keycode 144 Fn+Right : keycode 153 Fn+Home : keycode 212 Fn+End : keycode 101
- Type
xmodmap -pke > ~/.Xmodmapin a terminal. This creates a file,
.Xmodmap, containing your current keyboard mapping.
- Now open the file with a text editor and find the keycodes you're interested in. You can map any keycode with a symbol from this list.
- To get your new
.Xmodmaploaded when you start X, just add
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmapto your .xinitrc.
- To get your new
.Xmodmaploaded immediately, type
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmapin a terminal.
You can now assign functions to your newly bound keys by using facilities provided by your window desktop environment or by using
To use
- Start by installing it
pacman -S xbindkeys
- Then add
xbindkeys &to your .xinitrc.
- And finally, in your home directory, create a file called
.xbindkeysrc.scmwith content that would look something like
(xbindkey '("XF86Standby") "sudo killall dhcpcd && sudo pm-suspend") (xbindkey '("XF86AudioRaiseVolume") "amixer set Master 2dB+ unmute") (xbindkey '("XF86AudioLowerVolume") "amixer set Master 2dB- unmute")
Note, in more recent Arch (kernel 3.4.2, xorg-server 1.12.2, laptop-mode-tools 1.61), on the T400, related keys combinations binding seems to be:
- Fn+2 → XF86ScreenSaver
- Fn+4 → XF86Sleep & XF86Wakeup
- Fn+12 → XF86Suspend
Now, the actual action will performed on XF86Sleep or XF86Suspend is configurable in session policy, so it may vary (e.g. depending on desktop environment). If nomenclature of XF86Standby, XF86Hibernate or XF86Sleep is confusing, check the thread suspend / hibernate nomenclature for in-depth explanation.
To get the mute button to work, it is necessary to pass the string
acpi_osi="Linux" to the kernel as a boot parameter. In GRUB2, add it to the "linux" line. See here for more details.
With the 3.1 bios, it seems that the mute button works normally (set it up the same as the volume buttons with, for instance, "amixer set Master toggle").
To enable the fan speed control, it's necessary to load the thinkpad_acpi with option fan_control=1. After the thinkpad_acpi module is loaded with this option, you can monitor and adjust the fan speed via /proc/acpi/ibm/fan.
People have been having issues with suspend resume with the current intel xf86-video-intel 22.214.171.124 drivers in combination with the 4500mhd chipset. This is apparently an issue with concurrency as adding the following script (with mod 755) in /etc/pm/sleep.d fixes things. to some extent...
#!/bin/sh # Workaround for concurrency bug in xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.4.1-1ubuntu10. # Save this as /etc/pm/sleep.d/00CPU . "/usr/lib/pm-utils/functions" case "$1" in hibernate|suspend) for i in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/online ; do echo 0 >$i done ;; thaw|resume) sleep 10 # run with one core for 10 secs for i in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/online ; do echo 1 >$i done ;; *) ;; esac

7-1 Media Card Reader
Tested for SD cards only. Works after loading modules sdhci and ricoh_mmc in /etc/rc.conf. Sometimes there are problems initializing the SD card (check dmesg) after inserting it. In such cases, try re-inserting it again.

If a woman's eternal woe is having a closet full of clothes with nothing wear, I think a home cook's eternal woe is having a fridge full of food and not knowing what to eat....
I visit food blogs for many reasons but 2 of the fundamental ones are to search for recipes and for inspiration and reminders on what to eat and where to eat. Ellie's post on Ginger Scallion Beef 2 days ago was a timely reminder of what a great tasting dish this is. The craving set in instantly and as luck had it, I actually had all the ingredients in my fridge.
I used to cook this dish quite regularly and I don't follow any recipe for it. I had always taken a Chinese Cooking 101 approach when I made this. Seasoning was standard with soya sauce(both dark and light soya sauce), a pinch of sugar and a dash of pepper. The basic approach is always to season with the components that give colour and taste first, leave it to marinate and infuse before adding corn flour and oil... followed by a little water to keep it moist during cooking.
This beef dish is perfect with steaming white rice but I decided to serve this with tossed egg noodles. I simply cooked dried egg noodles (if you can get your hands on fresh wonton noodles, that would even be better) in water, drained off the water and toss it in a little oyster sauce, light soya sauce, pepper and sesame oil.
Fast, easy, nutritious and totally tasty. Who needs instant noodles or Mac Donalds?

I don't follow a recipe but for those who needs some guideline, please hop over to Almost Bourdain. :)

New Brunswick Campus School Counseling Graduate Programs & School Counseling Graduate Schools
Are you looking for graduate schools for school counseling? Interested in jumpstarting a new career as a school counselor, or enhancing an existing one through school counseling graduate programs? School counselors serve an integral role in a school community. Helping students with anything from applying for colleges to course selection to personal and social dilemmas, school counselors work with students on an individual and group basis to support a positive and healthy school environment. School Counseling Graduate programs may help to deepen your expertise in these areas.
Essentials of Choosing Graduate Schools for School Counseling
If you are interested in working directly within a student population, helping on an individual and group basis every day, in the school setting, a school counseling degree may be a good fit for you. Attending graduate school for school counseling may help to strengthen your expertise and enhance an existing career.
Campus-based school psychology graduate programs may have a number of benefits. Graduate schools for school counseling based on a brick and mortar campus may not only boast structured schedules, but also allow the student the opportunity to come a part of the campus community, taking advantage of valuable networking opportunities, interacting with faculty individually, collaborating with classmates, and more. You may even be able to utilize campus facilities like libraries, gyms, and technology labs, and services like career and academic support.
If this sounds like it's a good fit for you, here are some things to consider when evaluating your options:
- Are you looking for a campus that is an easily commutable distance from home or work? Or would you prefer to attend your program in an exciting new location? If so, would you prefer an urban campus, a rural one, or suburban?
- Does the program offer the
- opportunities you are looking for? For example, you may need to complete an internship to earn guided, hands-on experience in the real world. Does your preferred program include this, or assist you in setting one up? Or are you interested in research opportunities?
- Do you have a preferred concentration area? If you are interested in working with a specific population (e.g. urban), age group, or disability type? Or do you want to learn more about a specific role within the duties of a school counselor? If you have particular professional goals in mind, you may be able to find a program tailored to those goals or that allows you to focus your studies accordingly.
Types of School Counseling Graduate Programs
Once you have decided that traditional campus graduate school for school counseling is for you, you may find yourself having to choose a specific degree type. Here is a basic run-down of the types and levels of school psychology graduate degrees available.
Earn Your Master's Degree in School Counseling
Within the spectrum of programs offering a master's in school counseling, you may find yourself having to choose between several different types of master's degrees. Each of these programs may have similarities as well as unique qualities that may support your professional and academic goals. Understanding the similarities and differences between them may help you to choose the perfect program in which to earn your master's degree in school counseling.
M.A. and M.S. school counseling programs may have some similarities. The differences between these programs are likely to vary between programs and institutions. If you find yourself considering an institution that offers both of these programs, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Does one of these programs require a thesis? If you intend to continue your education at the doctoral level at some point, you may wish to choose a program including a research element and a thesis, as this may benefit you when applying for doctoral programs. Alternately, if you are looking for a terminal degree and focusing on applying your knowledge professionally, this may not be a priority for you.
- Do the programs have different focuses or perspectives? For example, at a given institution one may be more clinical in nature than the other, focusing on the science and application of psychology, instead of being more theoretical or research oriented, or taking educational perspective.
You may also consider a M.Ed. in school counseling. These programs may often be offered by schools of education, and as such may be likely to take an educational perspective or be oriented toward the educational professional who is moving into the school counseling space. If you are interested in or currently working in the field of education, this may be an option that interests you.
School Counseling Doctoral Programs
If you are looking into earning your doctorate in school counseling, you may have a number of options to consider.
Perhaps the most recognizable of these options is the Ph.D. in school counseling. Ph.D. programs may often be research-oriented, may sometimes have research or master's thesis prerequisites, and have a wide variety of applications in the field.
Ed.D. and Psy.D. school counseling programs may also be in your consideration. Ed.D. school counseling programs may often be offered by schools of education, and may be designed with the education professional in mind, whereas the Psy.D., which may often be offered by schools of psychology, may have been designed with the practitioner of psychology in mind, and may be more clinical in nature.
School Counseling Graduate Certificate Programs
If you are not looking to complete a full school counseling degree program, but are still interested in graduate level education, a graduate certificate in school counseling may be a good option for you. Graduate certificates, frequently offered at the post-master's level (but sometimes available for those holding bachelor's degrees as well) may allow students the opportunity to study at a graduate level without enrolling in a full graduate program. These certificates may be focused on a specific concentration area, such as a particular population, age group, disability type, or professional role, and as such may be a good option for those who want to enhance their careers in a specific area.

Marine engines are under 100% load 90% of the time (because they're required to "push" so hard against the resistance of water). Compare this to car engines which are typically at 100% load only 10% of the time (only when accelerating hard or going up a steep hill). Therefore, marine engines are under far more stress and are more subject to wear. Microlon's engine treatments work by reducing friction inside the engine and help it to operate more efficiently.

A few weeks back, I received an eloquent holiday letter from a friend who has faced some hard times in recent years but has steadily been moving forward into a vibrant and fulfilling new life. Along with recounting the year's highlights—foreign travel, news of her kids—she spoke of her theme for the year ahead: Durable calm.
Over the next few days, I found my mind returning to these words—and mulling over how I'd describe the spirit in which I'd like to move through my own 2012.
"Calm" felt right. It's not a quality that comes naturally to me—I tend towards the frantic and anxious—but it's one that I've come to value more with each passing year. I tried it out this week and noticed that even repeating the word in my mind seems to help ground me.
"Wonder" is another word that captured my imagination. The idea of greeting the world with curiosity rather than with judgment. Of being interested in things as they are and less wrapped up in my ideas of how I think they ought to be. This certainly isn't to say that opinions don't have their place, just that I think that my life would richer if I carried them a bit more lightly.
In recent days, I've tried invoking the words—calm wonder–when I'm feeling uncertain or lost, and I've been struck by their capacity to remind me of what I care about most. Real meaning won't be found in robotically checking off the next item on my to-do list but rather in taking time to experience life in all its confusion and beauty.
Calm wonder isn't a goal in itself—a sort of New Year's resolution. Rather it's a container, the spirit with which I'd like to infuse everything I do. It's also a sort of touchstone: When I'm stressed out and on the move, invoking the words orients me. It invites me to return.
I'm starting 2012 in a very different place from where I started 2011, and for that I am mostly grateful. I love my friends and the place I live. I love writing this blog. For the first time in more than two years, I'm reeling in more paying work than I can easily handle.
Which is all the more reason to be clear on my intention to cultivate calm wonder: to focus not so much on getting things done but on the doing of them.

This is the second team-building icebreaker that you can consider using with your team. Remember that these initiatives should simply serve as guides or recipes for you to follow. Feel free to adapt, modify, create and improvise both the rules and the difficulty of the challenge in order to accommodate the qualities of your particular team.
As you will recall from last month's article, the activity must be age-appropriate as well as level-appropriate. Games that seem too "silly" for your particular athletes or challenges that are too easy to complete will not be met with enthusiasm or positive motivation. You should know your group well enough to construct challenges that are attractive to them, interesting and compelling.
You may want to start the session with a joke related to the situation, or even share a game-related need that this activity addresses. You may begin with a series of short questions that elicit a series of loud group responses or a meaningful team cheer just to get the activity started.
This next icebreaker can serve as an excellent warm-up activity not only for the team building session but also for the cardiovascular system and musculoskeletal structure depending how active and competitive your athletes are.
Title: Human Dragon
None needed
An open field or gym, free from obstacles
Divide your team into 4 teams of 6-8 individuals. You can have odd numbers or vary the length of the "dragon" depending on the skill, size and ability of your athletes.
This game is great for communication, competition, honesty, cooperation and protection of teammates. By moving as a team to "protect" their tail, the team's success is more likely enhanced.
Good luck and have fun!

ECHO PARK — "Are you on the list?" the security guard outside the Short Stop bar asks to a group of unassuming girls on Wednesday night. They all turn, look at one another and shake their heads. He motions for them to step aside as sounds of Stevie Nicks' voice and a deconstructed version of Fleetwood Mac's "Gold Dust Woman" pump through the building's walls, out onto Sunset Boulevard. The girls wait.
At a neighborhood watering hole like the Short Stop, the last thing you'd expect is a list. The confusion comes, however, as British DJs, husband-and-wife Alex Oxley and Lisa Jelliffe, present the first U.S. edition of their Fleetwood Mac tribute night, Fleetmac Wood Gold Dust Disco, at the Echo Park bar. The event has become a word of mouth sensation in London. It is an unabashed dance party featuring edits, remixes and original tracks from classic rockers Fleetwood Mac – a band that has become a calling card for hipsters the world wide.
And while it wasn't quite a romantic, gold-shrouded notion of a 1970s disco dreamscape, the hipsters came. Many dressed in their best ethereal Stevie Nicks attire.
"Creating the right underground atmosphere is really key for our night." Jelliffe says of her tribute nights. The Short Stop is just the right sort of venue for us. It's got an unpretentious soul, so people feel comfortable letting loose, and it's got a magnetic dance floor. We love the history of the place." It's that sordid history of corruption and violence that has no doubt been the catalyst for attracting lighter fare, like Fleetmac Wood, and others over the last decade to the bar's dark confines.
The dance floor of the Short Stop became body-to-body, and the day's lingering and oppressive heat made its presence known. With all the the sweat it was like watching a scene right out of "A Time To Kill." It all reached a fever pitch as a pulsating "Go Your Own Way" galvanized a group sing-a-long.
But on this otherwise unassuming Wednesday night, the Short Stop was also packed with fans less overtly into reliving the '70s – at least through costume. Enough baseball caps dotted the air to make you think, if just for a moment, this could have been any old game day in Echo Park. It seems Fleetwood Mac's draw knows no bounds.
Fleetwood Mac formed nearly 50 years ago and are remarkably prepping for a new tour this fall. DJs Oxley and Jelliffe are spinning these intoxicating melodies of a by-gone era to a room full of twenty and thirty-somethings. Perhaps the bar's dance floor isn't the real magnetic pull of the night – you can try and go your own way, but Fleetwood Mac's magnetism will probably just keep pulling you back.

Bar Refaeli Gets Dirty, Very Dirty [PICTURES]
We wish our names were mud, because Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli just slathered her golden body in the slippery stuff, and then uploaded these hot pictures to her Twitter account.
Leo's ex was bathing at the Dead Sea, the lowest place on Earth, in her native Israel. The body of water is a popular tourist destination, where many go to rub themselves with the mineral-rich mud, then soak in the super saline water.
Some say the experience helps you look younger, but there's no promise you will come out looking like Bar. The water is 10 times saltier than the ocean, so salty that it can cause a heart attack if you ingest even a small amount. But then we almost got a coronary looking at these pictures.
We also can't stop looking at the background on Bar's Twitter page. Is it hot or bizarre? We can't decide.

An Alameda County Superior Court judge has ruled that the University of California must disclose how its investments in two of Silicon Valley's top venture capital firms have performed.
A lawsuit filed last year by Reuters alleges that UC — by allowing Sequoia Capital and Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers to provide only partial information on their financial returns — is flouting a state law requiring disclosure of how public investments fare.
That law, sponsored by then-state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, came after UC lost an earlier lawsuit brought by the Mercury News.
Karl Olson, the San Francisco attorney who filed both suits, said Tuesday that UC let Kleiner and Sequoia "game the system" by disclosing aggregate returns rather than showing how each individual fund has performed.
Spokespeople for the two venture firms declined to comment, as did UC officials, whom the judge gave until March 11 to appeal.
The Mercury News sued the university system in 2003, shortly after the California Public Employees' Retirement System settled a similar lawsuit the newspaper had filed.
The 2003 suit, filed jointly with a union that represents 18,000 university employees, asserted that because the system receives state money, the performance of venture capital funds in which it invests is public information.
UC officials argued, as had CalPERS, that to disclose those results would lead many venture firms to turn them away as investors. Indeed, Olson said Sequoia at one point threatened to cut the university system out of future funds.
After a judge ruled against the university and the California Supreme Court declined to hear its appeal, UC and CalPERS officials reached out to Simitian, then a freshman state senator. He crafted a bill that clarified how much investment firms that take public money must disclose.
"It was 2005, and the state's declining investment in the UC and other higher ed systems was beginning to be painfully felt," said Simitian, now a Santa Clara County supervisor.
Advocates for the university said they needed more than ever the ability to put money into venture portfolios, which are high-risk but can also reap spectacular returns. "There's a healthy tension between the public's desire to make investments that yield a good result, and the public's right to know," Simitian said.
His legislation made explicit that venture capital, buyout and other investment firms must disclose such information as their internal rate of return and how much they charge in management fees. Other information, such as private valuations of a venture firm's portfolio companies, remained confidential.
Olson, of the firm Ram, Olson, Cereghino & Kopczynski, said Reuters discovered UC's "side deal" with Sequoia and Kleiner after noticing that the university's website included more detailed investment performance from other venture firms.
Sequoia and Kleiner have backed some of the tech industry's top companies over the years, including Google (GOOG), Amazon, Netscape and PayPal. But some industry observers have wondered whether more recent investments, such as Kleiner's multibillion-dollar bets on clean technology, have paid off.
"They had some early big successes, so they looked better when they disclosed the aggregate," said Olson.
The university system's website indicates that as of late 2011, $7 million of UC's $6.3 billion general endowment pool was invested with Kleiner and Sequoia. More than $52 million of the $39 billion UC Retirement Savings Program was held by the two venture firms.
Olson said Judge Evelio Grillo, in his Monday order, said the university must make an "objectively reasonable effort" to comply with the law and post information on the funds.
"The Legislature," Olson said, "has clearly intended this kind information has to be disclosed."
Simitian said he's not surprised by the lawsuit.
"At some point," he said, "somebody was going to test just what the appropriate boundaries of confidentiality are."

England 18-11 Italy, Six Nations
England survive Italy scare
March 10, 2013
England found it hard going against a tactically astute Italian side
© PA Photos
England kept their Grand Slam dreams alive thanks to an unconvincing 18-11 victory over a rejuvenated Italy.
Match Analysis by ESPNscrum's Graham Jenkins
England will have to improve vastly on this error-strewn performance if they are to create a slice of history and wrestle the trophy away from Welsh hands on Saturday. England could have effectively wrapped it up, had they put Italy to the sword in the manner of all previous encounters at Twickenham but in the end they were clinging on for the win.
Lancaster's men will head across the Severn Bridge with a points-difference cushion of just 14. There will be all to play for at the Millennium Stadium.
Toby Flood kicked England to victory with six penalties, overtaking Jonathan Webb as the third highest points scorer, but he kept his side out of jail. This was England's worst performance of the championship, devoid of composure and accuracy. They blew three golden try-scoring opportunities and ended the game on their knees, defending for their lives.
The fact there was not a spark of celebration on the field, and ripples of boos off it summed up how poor England were in the face of an Azzurri side who grew in belief and confidence off the back of red rose mistakes. Italy scored the only try of the game through Luke McLean and they could have led had Luciano Orquera not missed the conversion and a subsequent penalty.
Flood's metronomic boot saved England's bacon but it is Wales who are licking their lips. No longer are they just hoping to ruin England's Grand Slam party, they have a title to retain. Lancaster had demanded a performance of more than just character and England played with a pace and variety in the first 15 minutes that had Italy under real pressure.
Mako Vunipola got underneath Martin Castrogiovanni at the first scrum and a huge England drive allowed Flood to kick his side into a second minute lead. Mike Brown came agonisingly close to his first Test try when he charged down an attempted clearance from Giovanbattista Venditti but the ball skipped dead just before the England wing could chase it down.
England were winning quick ball, Flood was standing flat and passing across defenders' noses, the forwards were offloading well and Italy were on the ropes. Flood extended England's lead with a second penalty after Italy had been penalised once again at the breakdown but the Azzurri succeeded in digging their heels in and slowing the tempo.
Sergio Parisse, inevitably, was at the heart of the Italian resistance, which began with a successful penalty from fly-half Luciano Orquera after England had pulled down a driving maul. Parisse then slipped a delicious one-handed pass to his back row colleague Alessandro Zanni, who charged between Brown and Geoff Parling and to within 10 metres of the try-line.
Brown recovered to get a hand to Zanni's pass but referee George Clancy ruled it as a knock-on, despite his assistant, Nigel Owens, advising him otherwise. Italy then conceded a free kick at the scrum. Parisse, who was only available after having his ban for abusing a referee reduced, must have been biting his tongue.
England came back at Italy and should have been out of sight by the interval but they blew three golden try-scoring opportunities through poor handling or poor decision-making. Chris Ashton was just snagged by the Italian lock Joshua Furno as he darted for the line but Andy Goode ignored a four-man overlap and offloaded to Flood, who was engulfed in defenders and held up over the line. Wasteful.
Italy lost Castrogiovanni to injury and then, on the half hour, Edoardo Gori to the sin-bin for tackling Flood off the ball. England could not capitalise. Parling snatched a turnover and England spread the ball wide from Danny Care to Manu Tuilagi and then Ashton, who streaked down the right wing but his passed in-field went forward and to an Italian. Sloppy.
England's scrum was superior and the pack drew another penalty, which Flood converted, but out wide they lacked accuracy, with Goode butchered another chance with a pass over Tuilagi's head. Inaccurate. Flood kicked penalties either side of half-time to edge England into a 15-3 lead but they continued to make mistakes. Italy fed off them and grew in confidence.
The Azzurri scrum was revitalised after the interval and they earned a penalty, which Orquera kicked, before scoring the first try of the match through McLean. Zanni rose to claim Care's sliced his box and Orquera picked out McLean on the left wing with an inch-perfect cross kick. The Azzurri had come storming back with eight points in a minute.
Orquera missed the conversion from wide on the left and then failed to land a penalty. Had he been successful with both, Italy would have led. Flood continued his faultless performance with the boot and England's defence held firm in the face of some fevered Italian attack to keep their title and Grand Slam ambitions alive.
But another performance like this and Lancaster's men will end the championship empty handed.

What would a perfect tour of L.A. in a day include? Danny Roman thinks he has it figured out, and it doesn't involve maps of the stars' homes or double-decker buses.
"[Travelers] land at LAX, hop in a rental car, turn on the GPS that tells them to get on the 405 Freeway at 5 p.m.," Roman says. "Then they hate L.A." He started Bikes and Hikes L.A. Ecotourism two years ago to offer a better way to explore the history and beauty of Southern California.
Roman has designed a 32-mile bicycle tour of the city from West Hollywood to the residential areas of Beverly Hills and the beaches of Santa Monica, Venice and Marina Del Rey. OK, technically this isn't just L.A. but no need to quibble. The tour offers a chance to pedal past the canals of Venice, see Frank Gehry's house in Santa Monica and stop at the studios where "The Wizard of Oz" was filmed.
The L.A. in a Day tour mixes bicycle riding with a walking tour of the Greystone Mansion and Park in Beverly Hills and a lunch stop at Venice Beach. (Cyclists buy their own lunch; a $10 meal of freshly made juice and a wrap is Roman's suggestion.) The route includes "bike-bys" of Brentwood Village, Santa Monica Pier, Muscle Beach in Venice and more. The tour takes about five or six hours and "burns 2,000 to 2,600 calories," Roman says.
When: Tours leave at 10 a.m. daily, and other times are available by arrangement. Participants start from the company's office at 8743 Santa Monica Blvd. in West Hollywood.
Price: $162 a person, which includes a tour guide, hybrid road bike rental, safety helmet and safety vest.

Words by Mr Matthew Hussey
When we say "Christmas", you say (in a football-style chant), "Time off work", "Exquisite piles of food" and "A test of your happy face when receiving another comical bottle opener". Another chant that should accompany these is, "Gifts should always be something you'd want to receive in return" - which is, as ever, where MR PORTER comes in. Whether you're looking for something big or small, a wise man (or three) always checks with his most trusted sources first. Here, we provide you with just a few garments, gadgets and gift ideas that anyone with an eye for style would be happy to see under their Christmas tree (or in their garage).

Genes may explain why some people are more susceptible than others to leprosy, an extensive study in China published in the New England Journal of Medicine appears to have found.
The study found mutations of seven genes which appear to increase a person's susceptibility to leprosy, which is in sharp contrast to what experts have believed for a long time - that the disease is not congenital, or inherited.
"All along, people thought it was caused (only) by an infectious agent but our study found it is influenced by genetics. If a parent has the disease, it is highly likely that the child will develop the disease," one of the researchers Zhang Furen at the Shandong Provincial Institute of Dermatology and Venereology in northeast China said by telephone.
"What is interesting is that between couples, if one has the disease, the other remains uninfected for decades ... so how can this (strictly) be an infectious disease? Maybe this disease has to do with inheritability."
"What we found was that apart from the infectious agent, there is an internal reason, we found seven (susceptibility) genes ... it may have a lot to do with genetics (inherited susceptibility)," Zhang told Reuters.
The finding may have similar implications for other germs belonging to the family, like the bug that causes tuberculosis - which killed 1.8 million people last year.
The experts analysed genes of 706 leprosy patients and 1,225 others without the disease, and mutant versions of the seven genes turned up consistently in those who had the disease. The participants were ethnic Chinese from eastern China.
Five of the genes appear to be involved in regulating the human immune system, said the researchers from China and Singapore.
"Leprosy has a long incubation period of 8 to 10 years, and once the symptoms surface, they would have caused the patient irreversible damage," Zhang said.
"But in future, if we can tell whether a person is susceptible to the disease before symptoms show, we can proceed to take preventive action."
Leprosy, or Hansen's disease, is caused by the Mycobacterium leprae. It affects the skin, mucous membranes, peripheral nerves and eyes. As nerve damage is permanent, even those who have recovered can't feel pain. Minor cuts and abrasions on fingers and toes often turn into gaping, inflamed ulcers because of unsanitary living conditions.
Although leprosy is no longer a problem in advanced countries, this discovery is important because the disease plagues many developing nations.
There were 254,525 new cases of leprosy in 2007 mostly in tropical and sub-tropical countries, according to the World Health Organization.
"In China, there are 2,000 new cases each year," Zhang said.

This is your first glam-look at the new celebrity guest judge on Thursday night's new episode of Project Runway: Season 6! Christina Aguilera will help decide who is in, and who is out. HOT!
After about 3 days of 'breaking news' all over the places Heidi Klum finally gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Heidi and Seal are now officially the parents of Lou Sulola Samuel. Lou Sulola is the youngest of four: Henri, 4, Johan, 2 and Leni, 5, whom Klum had from a previous relationship.
"It's difficult to imagine loving another child as much as you love your existing children," Seal said of the birth in a statement Tuesday. "Anyone who has a family will tell you this. Where will one find that extra love? If you love your existing children with all of your heart, how then can one possibly find more heart with which to love another? The answer came in the form of our fourth child and second daughter. Lou Sulola Samuel was born, and from the moment she looked into both of our eyes, it was endless love at first sight. She is beautiful beyond words, and we are happy that she chose us to watch her grow over the coming years," he said.

Gwen Stefani Brings Her Baby Bump to Star-Studded Gala [PHOTOS]
Well, there can be no doubt about it now: Gwen Stefani is definitely preggers!
The No Doubt frontwoman showed off her baby bump last night (Oct. 17) at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts Inaugural Gala in Beverly Hills. It was her first red-carpet appearance since word broke last month that she and hubby Gavin Rossdale were indeed expecting their third child together. Gwen, 44, and the Bush singer, 47, already have two sons, 7-year-old Kingston and 5-year-old Zuma.
Dressed elegantly in a floor-length silver Ferragamo dress that was covered in fringe, Stefani smiled for the cameras -- and even held her baby bump in one pic! Inside the event, she and Rossdale with spotted hanging out with friends including Nicole Richie, Courteney Cox, Demi Moore, Josh Duhamel, Rachel Zoe and Jennifer Meyer, aka Mrs. Tobey Maguire.
