Grand Theatre Poster
This poster advertises the last plays
ever seen at the Grand Theatre.
After the war, theatres struggled
to get large audiences.
The town was also being rebuilt
and businesses needed office space.
Despite a strong local campaign
the Grand closed in 1959
and was demolished.

Tony remembers the fight
to save the Grand.
"I got involved with the Grand Theatre
in its last years.
It closed for some time
and then a man called Michael Wide
managed to reopen it
and he set up a very good company
called the Grand Theatre Company
and we did weekly rep.
And we were building up
a tremendous audience.
And then there was this threat
to the place because the lease
was due to expire.
And it began to hit the headlines -
people fighting
to save their local theatre.
And we went out night after night
in all weathers
and we collected signatures
from about one hundred thousand people,
which was about half the borough
in those days,
and we were allowed into the Town Hall
one evening to present this petition
to save the place.
But of course we were up against
big business.
The Davis family had bought it
for redevelopment
and we couldn't save it.
We fought very hard to save
that beautiful little theatre,
it was terribly sad."
The Grand Theatre
The Grand Theatre opened in 1896.
It stood on the High Street
where Grosvenor House is today.
At first it attracted large audiences
with a mix of popular drama, comedy,
touring companies and opera.
Between 1940 and 1942 it closed
because of the war.
After the war, Will Hammer directed
repertory and an annual pantomime.
The last director, Michael Wide,
failed in his effort to save the Grand
despite a petition
which was signed by
100 000 local people.

Responsible Natural Gas Development
The American Gas Association (AGA) believes that the benefits of developing the abundant and clean natural gas energy resource in America can and should be realized. We also believe it can be developed in a responsible manner. Over the past several years a truly game-changing event has occurred in the natural gas industry thanks to improved technologies that are allowing energy producers to access significant and growing supplies of domestic natural gas from shale formations and other unconventional reservoirs.

Identify Community Facilities
How it's done
Community facilities include educational, health, recreational, public and cultural places that contribute to our quality of life. While not always at the top of businesses' priority lists, locating near community facilities can bring major benefits for some industries. This page will help to you to understand where these opportunities may exist.
Why do community facilities matter?
Community facilities can matter to your business for two reasons. Firstly, they can act as pedestrian magnets and traffic generators. If your business is located near a busy community facility this may help to attract your future customers. A potential drawback is that they can also create congestion which makes it harder for people to access your premises, so weigh the pros and cons in each instance. Secondly, being near schools, recreational facilities and other amenities can help you attract and retain employees.
Where are the community facilities?
The map below shows various types of community facilities in the municipality. Select the type of facility you are interested in and click on the circles to get more information.
How do I use this information?
Attracting customers
Community facilities often act as "traffic generators." Traffic generators are establishments or activities that draw people, or other businesses, to a given location. Examples include schools, hospitals, recreational and cultural facilities, malls, hotels, big box stores, industrial parks and large office buildings. People tend to visit more than one location when they're out, so your business may benefit by locating near traffic generators.
The key is to pay special attention to whether your target customer frequents the traffic generator and other businesses in the intended area and whether the location of your business makes it easy for customers to drop into your store before, or after, they visit these other premises.
Attracting and retaining employees
For companies that require a high proportion of professional talent, the quality of life they can offer employees matters. It may even make the difference in their ability to attract top talent. Quality of life can mean different things to different people but schools, healthcare and amenities are frequently primary considerations. A wide range of community facilities is especially essential to attract knowledge workers, who tend to have a greater choice when it comes to where they live and work.
For businesses within advanced manufacturing, technology, health and life-science industries, locating near large university and hospital precincts can help create important research and development partnerships and provide access to top students and future employees via retention strategies.

Police have arrested a 22-year-old Connecticut man accused of punching two teens in the face because he thought they had knocked over his snowman.
James Knudsen, of Old Mill Road in Norwich, entered a neighbor's home on Thursday without permission and assaulted at a least two teens inside, police say.
Witnesses told police that Knudsen forced his way into the victim's home, damaged the door, grabbed a pool stick that was in the house, swung it over his head and tried to confront the teens.
At some point during the incident, Knudsen dropped the pool stick, but punched a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old in the face. The teens suffered minor injuries but did not need medical attention.
Police said they believe Knudsen allegedly attacked the teens because he thought the teens had knocked down a snowman in Knudsen's yard earlier in the day.
Knudsen was charged with home invasion, second-degree burglary, second-degree criminal mischief, three counts of third-degree assault and disorderly conduct.
The prosecutor said Knudsen has a pending drug and DUI case.
He appeared in court and the judge kept bond at $5,000 bond.

AUSTIN, Texas — Buick is a brand on the move.
And its marketing team is working overtime to get the message out this isn't your father's Buick.
From the girl who gets in the wrong person's car to the Super Bowl spot with Cam Newton, Buick likes to poke fun at its previous old-man reputation.
My dad has had a lot of Buicks over the years from the 1970s-era wood-paneled Estate Wagon and the sky-blue Skylark of the '80s to the boat-like LeSabres of the '90s. One of his last Buicks just happened to be a shiny black Regal.
So, I can say definitively, this is nothing like my dad's Buicks.
Chockfull of technology, quietness and elegant design language, the all-new 2018 Buick Regal Sportback is certainly poised to target a younger demographic.
Buick's place in the world isn't straight-up luxury – that's Cadillac's place in GM's lineup. It's more in the realm of "near" luxury, battling the likes of Acura and Infiniti rather than the BMWs and Audis of the world.
In terms of design, Buick absolutely hits the mark. The long sleek lines are very reminiscent of the Audi A5 Sportback, which – at a base level – will cost $5,165 more than the top-tier all-in Regal Sportback AWD Essence.
The signature grille and bold headlights reflect elegance. If you didn't see that Buick emblem, you'd be hard pressed to pick the brand out of a lineup.
The interior is just as neatly designed. It does have some signature General Motors characteristics on the center stack in terms of gauges and controls. But the Regal Sportback carries it off with panache.
However, I was less impressed with the grade of materials used. We were in top-tier Essence trims, and the leather seating surfaces felt like plastic. I was also unimpressed with the overall fit and finish. I'm hopeful that's because these were pre-production vehicles, but if you're looking at one in the dealers, be sure to take a close look at the stitched seams and the gaps between dash and A-pillars.
The Regal Sportback is more of a grand tourer than a sports car. That means it will be quiet and comfortable for the long haul.
It's equipped with a nice and efficient 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder engine that delivers 250 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque.
It provides smooth and quick acceleration, and the vehicle handled well in all but the most aggressive maneuvers.
With the front-wheel drive model, it should get 22 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway. I averaged around 30 mpg during my short stints at the wheel.
The vehicle we were driving was an Essence FWD model – though all-wheel drive is available in both the Premier II and Essence trims – and it added the Sights and Sounds Package, Driver Convenience #1 Package and Driver Convenience #2 Package for an as-tested price of $36,270.
Base price for a front-wheel-drive Sportback 1SV will be $25,915.
It's worth noting that the safety tech that wins vehicles Top Safety Pick + awards (think: forward automatic braking) is only found in the #2 package, which can only be added after the #1 package, which can only be added to the Essence trim.
A Toyota Corolla adds this as standard at a base trim. Just saying.
But why a Sportback instead of a regular sedan?
"Just bringing a traditional same old, same old sedan is not reflective of the market today," said Chris Hay, product and pricing director at Buick.
With truck and SUV sales on the rise, Buick recognizes that people are looking for more versatility than a traditional sedan can provide.
The hatch on a Sportback provides more flexible cargo opportunities, and in fact, the Regal Sportback has 60.7 cubic-feet of cargo volume behind the first-row seats.
Buick visually demonstrated what that means by showing how a bike fits in the back of a Regal Sportback versus how it would fit in an Acura TLX. (Hint: It doesn't fit in the latter). There also may have been a large inflatable unicorn involved.
On a regular day, with the rear seats in the upward position, the Sportback still gets 31.5 cubic-feet of cargo volume – which is basically double the amount of a traditional sedan.
The Sportback is currently on sale, and coming soon, you'll see the Regal TourX (aka wagon) and Regal GS (which adds 60 horsepower via V-6 engine) on the market as well.
The Bottom Line
During its press briefing, Buick talked a lot about the base price of $26K. But this is the base Sportback model with cloth seats and very few amenities.
To get any of the cool safety tech, you have no choice but to go top-tier and add nearly $3K in options. So you won't get out of the transaction without spending around $37K. Which is still a bit of a steal considering you can't get all-wheel drive and some of the up-level features on a TLX unless you upgrade to the V-6 engine. So to add these features, you'll spend at least $46,715. A lux-level Audi A5 that's comparably equipped will be priced at $47,975.
While there are certainly some misses with the new Regal Sportback, it's an overwhelming win for the brand. Beautifully designed and well-tuned for a quiet-but-sporting drive, the Regal Sportback has the price point and flexibility that will appeal to someone who wants something that looks nice, drives nice and won't cost an arm and a leg.
Editor's Note: Driving impressions in this "First Look" review are from an invitation-only automaker launch event that allowed special access to the vehicle and executives. Buick covered our accommodations, meals and transportation costs.

WASHINGTON — A year ago, on the day a gun control push in the Senate went down in flames, President Barack Obama stood with former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and parents of Newtown victims in the Rose Garden and declared, "This effort is not over."
On Tuesday, a mournful president conceded he was ashamed as an American and terrified as a parent that the United States can't find it in its soul to put a stop to rampant shooting sprees. Barring a fundamental shift in public opinion, Obama said, "it will not change."
"My biggest frustration so far is the fact that this society has not been willing to take some basic steps to keep guns out of the hands of people who can do just unbelievable damage," Obama said.
No developed nation on Earth would put up with mass shootings that happen now once a week and disappear from the news within a day, Obama said — no nation except America.
It was a moment of bleak reflection and weary resignation for Obama, who thought universal background checks were the least the country could do after a 20-year-old with a semi-automatic rifle shot his way into a Connecticut elementary school in 2012 and massacred 20 children.
"We should be ashamed of that," Obama said, hours after yet another deadly school shooting, this time in Oregon. "There's no place else like this."
The candid admission that gun control is all but a lost cause for his presidency marked a stark change in tone.
Despite shelving efforts to get Congress to vote on gun control, White House officials have always insisted they haven't abandoned the issue. In 2013, Obama issued 23 executive orders related to gun violence in an attempt to take whatever modest steps he could without requiring a congressional vote.
Obama said he respects gun rights and the American tradition embodied by the Second Amendment. But he blamed the National Rifle Association and well-financed gun manufacturers for making lawmakers "feel the heat" if they back tighter gun control.
"Most members of Congress — and to some degree this is bipartisan — are terrified of the NRA," Obama said, alluding to opposition from some Democrats that helped thwart the Senate effort.
He said the majority of Americans support gun control steps but don't feel passionately enough about it to punish lawmakers who disagree. "Until that happens, sadly, not that much is going to change."
Just over half of Americans think US gun laws ought to be stricter, an Associated Press-GfK poll in December found, while just 15 percent think they should be less strict. Other polls have found support for background checks on all gun buyers exceeds 80 percent.
Obama's public meditation on gun violence came as he took questions in the State Dining Room from young Americans through the social media site Tumblr. Although the session was focused on student loan debt, a student asked Obama about gun violence and said he had known one of the victims of last month's rampage in Isla Vista, Calif., that killed six.
The president recalled seeing the father of one of those victims appear on television, pleading with society not to let his son's death be in vain.
"As a father myself I just — I couldn't understand the pain he must be going through and just the primal scream that he gave out," Obama said. "Why? Why aren't we doing something about this?"

Taylor Swift Releases First Behind-the-Scenes Webisode from 'Ours' Video
Taylor Swift dressed down to play a working stiff and a plain Jane office dweller in the video for 'Ours.' The normally glam and all-dolled-up singer released the first behind-the-scenes webisode from the shoot, providing a little insight on the inner workings and backstory for the clip.
"Doing music videos is fun and it's really challenging to think of new things," Swift, dressed in a drab and mousy brown cardigan with her hair pulled back in an unkept, unpolished ponytail, said. "Typically, the director will write the treatment and write the video and direct it too. Declan worked so well with my storyline for 'Mean' and I knew he'd work well with my storyline for 'Ours.'" Swift, of course, is speaking about director Declan Whitebloom on their repeat engagement of working together.
We meet Whitebloom, who reveals that "not cutting away to performance is unconventional" and that it was Swift's idea to keep the video storyline-driven and to have the character she portrays sing. It certainly added to the believability of Swift as a corporate drone to have her remain in character and not cut away to her looking gorgeous and glam in a separate, unrelated performance mode. Swift clearly made the right choice, since she knows what works for her in her super cute vids.
The 'Love Story' songstress also threw props to the Swifties since they "found" the song on the deluxe edition of 'Speak Now' and were the catalyst for it being released as a single. She said that she loves her fans so much, and "they always let the best song win."
Swift makes it easy, though, since she writes so many good tunes! Swifties rest assured, there will be more behind-the-scenes footage coming down the pike, as this clip was titled 'Webisode One.'

Production of the Mustang started in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the automobile was introduced to the public on April 17, 1964 at the New York World's Fair. It is Ford's 3rd oldest nameplate presently in production. Initial sales forecasts forecasted less than 100,000 devices for the first year. This mark was exceeded in three months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be offered throughout the design year (a record), and in its first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were built.
Best Deals Buy Classic Ford Mustangs
All these were VIN-identified as 1965 designs, but numerous changes were made at the traditional opening of the brand-new design year (start August 1964), consisting of the addition of back-up lights on some designs, the introduction of alternators to replace generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu in to 289 cu in. When it comes to a minimum of some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production consisted of some uncommon quirks, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo design beneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These qualities made adequate difference to require classification of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a distinction that has actually endured with perfectionists. Mustangs For Sale in Irmo SC are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more rigid pollution laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was likewise the very first time in automobile history that the Big 3 were having to compete with imports. The new Mustang II was smaller than the very first variation but, due to the added devices needed to fulfill brand-new United States emission and security regulations, was heavier than the first model. Efficiency was minimized and in the very first year just 385,993 cars were offered.
Second generation Mustangs for sale in Irmo SC were readily available in between 1974 and 1978 and offered in a coupe and hatchback variation. 1979 the Mustang was revamped a third time. This time it was based on the bigger Fox platform and the interior was actually big enough for four people. The trunk was larger and so was the engine bay. The body designs offered consisted of a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the Third generation Mustang worked as an Indianapolis 500 pace car and Ford built 10,478 commemorative reproductions. The third generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

Looking for Meaning in a Meaningless Game
First and most importantly in my mind is how the Cowboys approach the game. I'm talking about attitude and focus. The focus should have already started now if Jason Garrett is doing his job. But you can always tell how a team has prepared throughout the week by how they perform on the field. If the Cowboys come out fired up and scratch and claw for four quarters like they have for the last seven games then you know that Jason Garrett found a way to motivate his team for a glorified pre-season game.
Although I still believe that Jerry Jones has already decided to keep Jason Garrett permanently Garrett needs to keep the team playing hard and focused to win over his critics. And there are still a lot of them. It would be hard to argue with a 5-3 finish down the stretch with a team with nothing to play for facing what was probably the most difficult schedule in the NFL.
Stephen McGee will get his shot to prove that the Cardinal game was no fluke. The Cowboys really need to know if McGee can be a long term answer at backup quarterback. I'm sure he will still be given a scaled back game plan but he still needs to play within himself and execute the plays he is given.
Jason Witten has a shot at 100 receptions on the year. I know the old saying is statistics are for losers. Well, the Cowboys are losers this year. So I am worried about statistics. 100 receptions for a tight end is a rare feat. With 10 catches on Sunday Witten will reach that mile stone. I would love to see him add that item to his ever-growing hall of fame resume.
You might be watching several players for the last time in a Cowboys uniform. I mean guys like Marion Barber, Leonard Davis, Roy Williams, Alan Ball, Gerald Sensabaugh, David Beuhler, and several others. I'm not saying that none of these players will be back next year. Many of them will be here in 2011. But you can be sure that at least a few of them won't be on the roster next season.
I would like to say I want to see improvement from the defense but is there really a reason for that at this point in the season? We all know there will be new players and probably a new 3-4 philosophy next season so it is hard to get excited for the defense. But you still have to hope for a solid performance by the defense because the Cowboys have no chance if Vick plays the whole game and the defense lays down.
I really hope DeSean Jackson doesn't sit out the game. I would love to see someone on the defense or the punt coverage team light him up. Jackson's antics have crossed the line on multiple occasions in his short career. Maybe someone can finally put him in his place.
There is a good chance the Eagles will be sitting a lot of their key players or at least limiting the playing time of their starters. I don't expect the Cowboys to follow suit. If the Eagles roll out a team of backups then a loss would be an embarrassment for the Cowboys. But I just can't see the Cowboys laying down now that Jason Garrett is in command.
When all is said and done I expect the Cowboys to win. Not because I believe they are the better team. I think they'll win because the Eagles are going to be shutting it down at some point in the game. The playing time for most of the Eagles key starters will be limited at best. And many of the Cowboys are playing for their spot on the team next season. I predict a 24-14 victory for the Cowboys.

Well R2W and ASK. Its been a good year as far as Defending The Star is concerned. They definately gave us plenty to defend this year. i'm throwing in the towel a little early. Then i'm going to give myself a lobotamy so I won't have to ever think about this year again. 2010 is dead. Hopefully it doesn't come back to haunt us in 2011.
Personally i'd like to see the Arena Football back up from Dallas. Stephen McGee is fine and he honestly might find himself in runner up to QB but now that we signed the ARena Football QB i'd like to see him have a go at it as well.
I think kitna should be retired. He can finish on a high note...well kinda.. Seeing as how in my eyes his poor passing skills kinda killed us I won't shed a tear.

I have no new quilt to share today, so instead my entry is the plus and x blocks quilt I finished last June. In many ways this is my most loved quilt ever.
Plus & X blocks Quilt
take f o r e v e r to piece - but I enjoyed it very much because I got to play with all the pretty bits of fabric I had collected.
I didn't have much of a plan for this quilt, I just loved the block and wanted to get started straight away.
I found that whenever I added fabrics I loved most to the mix they would somehow work. And whenever I started doubting my choices and tried to add fabrics because I thought I needed to balance out the colours, or make it more 'modern' {what a silly thought!} the blocks didn't turn out so great.
In short I learned to trust my instinct more, which apparently is something I need reminding of over and over again!
My quilt top ended up being a little puckered in some places where the bias cut pieces weren't laying flat. I love when accidents turn into a blessing because the puckers pushed me to go one step further and add applique to the top.
I started to cover up the few puckers first and then added more numbers, that I roughly cut out of left over backing fabric. I think it has added much more interest to the overall design.
Want to read more about this quilt? you can find my previous posts here

Jada Payne scored 30 points in the setback
Box Score | Box Score | Play-By-Play
MONROE, LA December 15, 2013 –Redshirt sophomore forward Jada Payne recorded a game-high 30 points in East Carolina's 86-76 loss to Grand Canyon in the championship game of the ULM Warhawk Classic. The setback marked the first loss of the season for the Pirates as they fell to 8-1 on the year, while the Antelopes improved to 9-2.
Payne tallied her second 30-point performance of the year shooting 45.0-percent from the floor as she went 9-for-20. She also led the squad in rebounds with seven boards, while adding two assists and a pair of steals. Junior forward Shae Nelson and junior guard Abria Trice also notched double-figure efforts as they registered 11 and 10 points, respectively. Junior guard Janesha Ebron tied her career-high with nine assists to go along with three rebounds and one steal.
Grand Canyon out-shot East Carolina 43.2-percent to 41.8-percent, but the Pirates held the edge in rebounds (33-30) and assists (14-8). The Pirates committed 38 personal fouls which led to 55 free throw attempts for the Antelopes. Grand Canyon managed to tally 44 points on free throws, while the Pirates notched 14 on 20 free throw attempts after the Antelopes fouled them 18 times.
The Pirates got on the scoreboard first on a three-pointer from Payne, but the Antelopes went on an 8-2 run to take a 12-8 advantage. East Carolina managed to take a four-point lead (20-16) on a trey from senior forward Kristine Mial at 10:47, but the Antelopes fought back and took a 25-24 lead on four made free throws by Kaitlyn Petersen after a foul by Ebron followed by a technical foul called on the ECU bench at 7:37. After that, the Antelopes never looked back as they held the led for the remainder of the game taking a three-point lead (35-32) into the locker room at the half.
Although East Carolina out-shot the Antelopes in the second frame, 45.7-percent to 40.9-percent, Grand Canyon managed to outscore the Pirates, 51-44 in the half. The Antelopes led by as many as 14 (61-49) at 7:58 in the second half after Judy Jones tallied a layup. The Pirates battled, but were unable to come any closer six (66-60) after Payne drained a trey at 3:23. The Antelopes pushed their lead back up to double-figures a number of times in the final minutes of action and eventually won the game by a score of 86-76.
Grand Canyon had five players record double-figures in Petersen (21 points), Justine Johnson (19 points), Deanna Daniels (18 points), Jones (11 points), and Johnna Brown (10 points). Jones was the Antelopes' leading rebounder as she tallied seven boards, while Brown dished out five assists and three steals.
The Pirates look to get back on the winning track on Tuesday, December 17, when they travel to Norfolk, Va., to take on Norfolk State in a non-conference contest. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and several other Christian denominations on March 26 filed an amicus curiae brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of Arizona v. United States, supporting the principle that the federal government controls the enactment and implementation of the nation's immigration laws. Citing numerous examples of federal immigration policies designed to further family unity and human dignity, the brief argued that Arizona's immigration law is not a solution to the problems in federal law and in fact creates more problems than it solves. "The Catholic Church's religious faith, like that of many religious denominations, requires it to offer charity—ranging from soup kitchens to homeless shelters—to all in need, whether they are present in this country legally or not. Yet SB 1070 and related state immigration laws have provisions that could…criminalize this charity…[or] exclude from that charity all those whose presence Arizona and other states would criminalize," the brief argued.

Revision as of 13:36, 8 January 2014
This article describes how to set up a Bluetooth mouse through the command line without relying upon a graphical application.
Install bluez version 5. You may also want to install bluez-utils which contains developement and debugging tools for the Bluez stack. See Bluetooth for more information.
If you would prefer to configure bluetooth through Bluez4 then install the bluez4AUR package from the AUR. Please consult the Bluez4 article for more information.
Bluez5 and the bluetoothctl utility
Bluez5 provides the
bluetoothctl utility which provides a simple interface for configuring bluetooth devices.
For example, autoconnecting a bluetooth mouse can be done as described below:
# bluetoothctl [bluetooth]# list Controller <cmac> BlueZ 5.5 [default] [bluetooth]# select <cmac> [bluetooth]# power on [bluetooth]# scan on /// enable scanning mode on your mouse [bluetooth]# devices Device <mmac> Name: Bluetooth Mouse [bluetooth]# trust <mmac> [bluetooth]# pairable on [bluetooth]# pair <mmac> [bluetooth]# connect <mmac>
In order for the device to start on boot you may have to create a udev rule as discussed in [1].
Bluez4 instructions
The instructions discussed beyond this point concern Bluez4.
kernel modules
No additional actions are necessary if the bluetooth service is started using systemd. If it does not work try following.
The command
# modprobe -v btusb bluetooth hidp l2cap
loads the kernel modules you need, if they were not loaded automatically.
The following command should show your bluetooth adapter:
# hciconfig
hci0: Type: BR/EDR Bus: USB BD Address: 00:22:43:E1:82:E0 ACL MTU: 1021:8 SCO MTU: 64:1 UP RUNNING PSCAN RX bytes:1062273 acl:62061 sco:0 events:778 errors:0 TX bytes:1825 acl:11 sco:0 commands:39 errors:0
Configure Bluetooth Mouse
The method described here is based in three steps, in this order:
- Make the PC learn about the bluetooth mouse.
- Grant the mouse permissions to connect.
- Make the mouse learn about the PC.
Search your mouse
First make your mouse discoverable. For example some mouse need to press a button. Then issue the following command as root:
# hcitool scan
Scanning ... 00:07:61:F5:5C:3D Logitech Bluetooth Mouse M555b
Your mouse bluetooth address will be similar to
12:34:56:78:9A:BC. You may also find it in the documentation or on the mouse itself.
Connecting the mouse
hidd --search hcitool inq
are good for device scanning (I needed to use sudo for 'hidd --search' to automatically connect mouse, searching worked even without sudo).
hidd --connect <bdaddr>
to actually connect.
hidd --show
will show your currently connected devices. The mouse should show up in this list. If it does not, press the reset button to make it discoverable.
Note: If you have the ipw3945 module loaded (wifi on HP computer) the bluetooth wont work.
Connecting the mouse at startup
Edit /etc/conf.d/bluetooth:
# Arguments to hidd HIDD_OPTIONS="--connect <enter here your bluetooth mouse address>"
and test the new settings:
/etc/rc.d/bluetooth stop hidd --killall (drop mouse connection) /etc/rc.d/bluetooth start
Note: The above instructions to start the mouse at startup do not work with the now outdated 3.11 bluetooth packages. New versions such as the current (3.32) packages are not affected. If you are using an older version, then to start the mouse at startup, add:
hidd --connect <enter here your bluetooth mouse address (No capitals!!!)>
to your /etc/rc.local file.
Note #2: You can connect any bluetooth mouse and/or keyboard without any further configuration and without knowing the device address. You can do it by adding the --master and/or --server option in HIDD_OPTIONS depending on your device.
Mouse lag
If you experience mouse lag you can try to increase the polling rate. There is a wiki article describing the procedure: Mouse Polling Rate.
Problems with the USB dongle
If you have trouble with your USB dongle, you may also want to try
# modprobe -v rfcomm
At this point, you should get an hci0 device with
# hcitool dev
Sometimes the device is not active right away - try starting the interface with
# hciconfig hci0 up
and searching for devices as shown above.

Starbucks Charges Into Wireless Charging
What are often called chicken-and-egg problems frequently slow the deployment of new technology. Wireless charging of mobile devices has been a case in point, but Starbucks could be a force for change.
The big coffee chain, working with Duracell Powermat, on Thursday is announcing plans for a nationwide rollout of the technology. Charging services will be incorporated on the surface of tables and counters to allow customers to plop down compatible devices and fill up their batteries, for free, without any wires.
Its move could address this particular chicken-and-egg problem: people aren't inclined to install charging surfaces unless there are smartphones that can use the technology. And phone makers aren't eager to build wireless-charging capability in their products unless charging stations are widely available.
The situation is complicated by the fact that companies are proposing competing charging technologies, so hardware makers that move too early could bet on one that never takes off.
But Starbucks is nevertheless charging ahead. "We are anticipating our customers are going to come to want this in our stores much like they did with Wi-Fi," says Adam Brotman, who holds the title of chief digital officer at Starbucks.
Powermat, a company founded in 2006 by the Israeli entrepreneur Ran Poliakine, has been among many companies pursuing alternatives to wires for charging cellphones and other devices. The company uses a technology called inductive charging, which can pass electricity between objects in close proximity.
The company, working since 2011 in a partnership with Procter & Gamble battery unit Duracell, has been offering products that customers can use now, including various sleeves and adapters to enable smartphones to be used with its charging mats.
Meanwhile, the company has also been working with others to help develop a multi-company charging standard, so consumers can get compatible handsets and accessories from competing vendors. An associated industry group--called the Power Matters Alliance, or PMA--has members that include AT&T, Sony, Samsung Electronics, Microsoft, Qualcomm and Toshiba.
Some phones now on the market incorporate PMA-compatible components or can work with special battery covers or other accessories that use the technology.
The other factor that has been missing, Poliakine says, is a big player to step up and put the technology in places that consumers congregate. Starbucks could be that catalyst, he says, similar to the way the retailer's embrace of Wi-Fi in the past decade helped make wireless Internet access more ubiquitous.
"It's a day that could be remembered as the day when people started to charge and get power in a totally new way," Poliakine says.
Starbucks has been testing the Powermat technology in some stores in the San Francisco and Boston areas, Brotman says. To kick off the rollout, the company will first try to fully build out Bay Area locations before moving it to both Starbucks outlets and its Teavana stores, with most installations likely in 2015 and beyond, he says.
Powermat will supply charging spots and backend technology that helps identify various mobile devices and their power requirements. People can buy charging adapters for their devices at AT&T stores and other outlets, the company said.
Financial terms of the deal aren't being disclosed. But Brotman estimates the company has about 7,500 company-operated stores, each of which could have a dozen or so charging spots.
Brotman admits the standards battle over wireless charging has not ended, but he feels confident in the PMA technology Powermat is offering. "We feel like we found what we believe is the winning standard," he says.

Diocese offers buyouts to 60 on staff
Bridgeport: Buyouts offered to 60 employees at headquarters
BRIDGEPORT -- The Roman Catholic Diocese of Bridgeport is offering an early retirement incentive to almost half of the 130-person staff at its nerve center on Jewett Avenue because of financial pressures.
"We're in the process of belt-tightening, trying to be fair to everyone, including the people in the pews," said diocese spokesman Brian Wallace.
He said the 60 eligible employees run the gamut from top managers to building maintenance and groundskeepers.
"We were all kind of surprised," one staffer, who is weighing the buyout offer, said Tuesday. "Some people, they're a little fearful of the state of the diocese."
The individual, who did not wish to be identified, said early retirement is a consideration because the alternative is uncertain.
"If you don't and you end up being laid off, that's a concern," the person said.
Wallace said depending on the response, some layoffs are possible.
"It depends, truthfully, how many people take the buyout," Wallace said. He blamed health care and pension costs for the cutbacks. But others said the costs of prior sex scandals could also be a reason.
Paul Lakeland, director of Fairfield University's Center for Catholic Studies, said traditionally the church has supported fair labor practices, so it makes sense that the diocese would make an effort to avoid firing people.
"One would assume they would want to be as understanding and compassionate to people as they can be. I would say it's certainly better than just sending out pink slips," Lakeland said.
The diocese has been gradually contracting, closing parishes and schools. This summer it is shuttering St. Ambrose School on Mill Hill Avenue and St. Peter School on Beechwood Avenue.
Wallace said the diocese, which has a total workforce of 3,000, had some success last year when it offered retirement incentives to trim school employees.
Lakeland and Brian Stiltner, chairman of philosophy, theology and religious studies at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, were both surprised by the 60-person headcount.
"If they really got rid of 60 positions, that would be a significant dent in operations," Stiltner said.
Wallace said the 60 was based on the formula for offering the early retirements, and there is no intention of laying off so many members of the workforce.
But, Lakeland said, the fact the retirement incentive was offered to so many is telling.
"If they made the offer to 60, presumably they can cope without 60," he said. "They may be calculating on getting half. But the threat's there ... My initial thought is they're in serious financial trouble."
Lakeland and Stiltner said the diocese's financial problems could also stem from the disposition of dozens of sex-abuse lawsuits against priests brought against the diocese. The settlements alone cost about $36 million.
"I don't know how Bridgeport fares (but) that's hurt some diocese a lot," Stiltner said.
The two educators were also puzzled by the timing of the personnel cuts. The diocese has been searching for a new leader since Bishop William E. Lori left Bridgeport a year ago to become archbishop of Baltimore.
"I would have expected (job cuts) to be a decision that they would want to leave for the bishop," Lakeland said. "Unless, of course, they're trying to clear the decks to make it easier for someone to come in without having that cloud of the first thing he has to do is lay people off."

I hate to have to keep reporting weird things but this can't go un-noted. Since last night this has been the status of JREF's forum: The Forum is closed for maintenance. For about the same time, this is what the Loose Change Forum gives me: Safari can't open the page "http://s1.zetaboards.com/LooseChangeForums/index/" because it can't find the server "s1.zetaboards.com". This simultaneous cessation of two discussion forums (one VERY active) presumably will be short-lived and explained soon enough. But it is very mysterious and leaves me repeating, as an old co-worker had a way of pronouncing it, "Whot de 'ell?"
The bickering, sniping, and so on between the two forums had been getting about insane - personal info revealed, sock puppets, IPs tracked, old gripes, accusations, veiled threats, screen caps, it was all hard to keep up with. Did something in there snap something, like, legally? Much of this drama was centered in the areas I'm watching - Conspiracy Theories at JREF and The Pentagon at LCF – and the bogus theories of Citizen Investigation Team (sorry, the bogus theories of the Citgo witnesses, the people of Arlington, etc.). The friction was between the team itself and increasingly its supporters and detractors inside and outside 'the Movement.' Was it from this flamethrower battle that a simultaneous cessation of both forums came?
It didn't seem so, since CIT's own discussion board was still up last night and earlier today. Then I went to check again and got this: Safari can't open the page "http://z3.invisionfree.com/CIT" because it can't find the server "z3.invisionfree.com". Whole servers are down at Zetaboards and Invisionfree? Or is it all on my end? And whatever's going on at JREF? I do not know my computer stuff – is this a virus or something? Is it subject-matter oriented, or legal? There were no announcements or warnings sent to members, that I saw. it just happened.
For those desaparately adrift due to all this, I'm still afloat, it seems. Climb on board here, and help me sort it out. Comments moderation off for now given the catastrophe. :)
Update: As I should have suspected, no multi-forum catastrophe - see comments below - LCF is working for others, so app. I've been banned from reading it, It's more invisible that the Pilots for Truth forum now. JREF has a genuine problem and the page says they'll be up again soon. CIT is back to normal as well. And normal is... well, you should all know by now. Serious seekers and exposers of the "Truth" ban posting for members who disagree too well (CIT), ban reading of subjects for those who don't register for future banning (PFTF), and it seems ban their site from appearing to certain not-even-members anymore (LCF, hijacked by CIT/PFT). Also I found I'm not able to comment anonymously even at ATS, like a normal person who hasn't pissed them off once can do. So with two of these four forums unreadable and the other two unanswerable, I have JREF and 911Bolgger in my communications repetiore at the moment. So... I won't be following the latest lies, distortions, and idiocy as close anymore, which will be good for me and I guess for them.
update: Tuesday afternoon - LCF opens for me now. Whot de 'ell? Well now I don't really care but I have something to do for the next ten minutes. Oh, I guess it'll only take two minutes to catch up on the news.
6 comments:
I dunno what is going on at JREF, but Loose Change is fine. You've been IP banned, and you need to get through on a proxy. Odd that Loose Change has become the new cheerleader for CIT. When I was on the old board, they were banned for spamming their silly theory. The new Loose Change board has been hijacked by CIT. That's why I won't join.

Thanks - no one else told me they could see it so considering the timeline coincidence and when CIT went down too I freaked out. I guess I look silly now. Anyway, apparently the only way their truth and mine can coexist, they've decided, is to keep them separated. They are the carrot and I am the rabbit, so this is understandable. Why I can still read CIT's forum I dunno. I should be blocked there, and from their videos and main page too. I should be wiped off the internet altogether in fact. Only then can 'the truth' be safe!
It could be some forums have been caught up in the massive outage in Texas over the weekend, see http://forums.hostgator.com/showthread.php?t=33498 - it took down 9,000 servers.
- PB&J said...
zetaboards/invisionfree was hacked recently by a group called 'g00ns'. They were probably patching their servers or something security related.. which explains why LCF was down for me also.
I think JREF uses a version of vBulletin, but i'm not sure what problems they're having.
- Caustic Logic said...
There we go... hacked by the goons. Really? I'm not finding news on this angle - nothing AT the LCF I can see. but again, I had a feeling of like warfare between LCF and JREF. Then they both went boom from my end at least, at about the same time... cyberwarfare MAD?
Who was it down for? Why aren't they denouncing the goons who attacked them?
But man what a ghetto the LC board has dragged itself into.

Every season, we think we have a read on what team is the "best" until the next Sunday arrives. That's especially true in the NFC this season. There are a lot really good teams this year, but no squad is that dominant. The San Francisco 49ers remain my favorite team, but they couldn't beat the St. Louis Rams in two tries. Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is the best player in the conference, but he's carrying a lot of injuries and problem areas. I've written about the Atlanta Falcons here already.
The Seattle Seahawks are dangerous, but they often count on winning in the final two minutes. The Chicago Bears have lost three of their past four games. The New York Giants have lose three of four, as well. The NFC is a wide open conference. Everything we think we know now will be proven wrong before the playoffs. And then it will be proven wrong again. Can't wait.1. New England Patriots

Topsy Too Black Turban with scarf, what could be more perfect, beautiful soft woven cotton turban with a beautiful scarf. You can easily change the scarf with your own.

Sewn in European school of design, very few seams and generous in fabric. We are aware of fashion needs as well, and work to give that special look.

That's the secret, I used to call it the great cover up. Now we just settle for TOPSY TOO TURBAN GOES TO YOUR HEAD.

First Presbyterian narrowly votes to stay with denomination
A hard-fought effort to move one of Houston's iconic Christian churches from its long-standing denomination to a new, more conservative group narrowly failed Sunday, with the congregation voting heavily in favor of the move but falling short of the supermajority needed for approval.
The leadership of First Presbyterian Church, which was established shortly after Houston's founding, had unanimously endorsed the move from Presbyterian Church USA to the breakaway denomination called ECO, A Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians. The senior pastor, his staff, and the elected leaders from the congregation argued that PCUSA, the nation's largest Presbyterian body, had become too liberal and had drifted from the church's theological foundation. But the final count fell 36 votes short out of 1,681 ballots cast.
"This is the toughest possible outcome in many people's minds," Senior Pastor Jim Birchfield said. "To fall a few votes short will be very tough for them. I'm a little bit disappointed. I came out very strongly and passionately in favor of (the move)."
Birchfield said it was too early to assess the long-term repercussions of the attempt to switch denominations, and he declined to predict whether some members will leave the church as a result. He said his immediate task is to begin smoothing over the differences for the sake of keeping the 3,100 member church intact.
"We have to begin reconciling the two sides, and that will begin immediately," he said. "We'll also begin reconciling among the leadership. For the most part, we have had a very gracious debate."
A special prayer service is scheduled for noon Monday.

BOCA RATON, FL (WFLX) - State education officials will be taking a closer look at Florida Atlantic University Wednesday after Gov. Rick Scott responded to a controversial classroom exercise.
A class, taught by Vice Chairman of the Palm Beach County Democratic Party Deandre Poole, was reportedly following an exercise in the instructor's manual that had students write the name "Jesus" in large letters on a piece of paper, put the paper on the floor, face up, and after a brief period, tell them to step on the paper.
The exercise was part of a chapter dealing with the power of certain words. One student, a junior named Ryan Rotelas, said he refused to participate.
While the university said Rotelas was never punished for his refusal, the student's lawyer said school officials told Rotelas he would be suspended.
FAU officials have apologized and said the student will not be punished. They also stated the exercise will not be assigned again.
Gov. Rick Scott wants a detailed report from state university system Chancellor Frank Brogan regarding the incident.
"Whether the student was reprimanded or whether an apology was given is in many ways (inconsequential) to the larger issue of a professor's poor judgment," Scott stated in a letter to Brogan. "The professor's lesson was offensive, and even intolerant, to Christians and those of all faiths who deserve to be respected as Americans entitled to religious freedom."
Meanwhile, the controversy has prompted the Church of All Nations in Boca Raton to plan a march in response, according to Reverend Mark Boykin.
"To write the name of Jesus on a piece of paper, and then to stop and contemplate what they were doing. And then to stomp on it," says Rev. Boykin. "We find this to be unconscionable, unprofessional and completely unacceptable."
This comes despite repeated apologies from FAU leaders. "We don't plan to use this exercise again. We apologize to everyone who felt it was too sensitive we recognize that," says Dr. Charles Brown, Senior Vice President of Student Affairs at FAU.
Dr. Brown says Rotelas was never up for punishment for refusing to step on a piece of paper with Jesus' names on it. A lawyer for Rotelas says otherwise. "He met with the school officials about it and was informed of his suspension," says Hiram Sasser with the Liberty Institute.
That's when Sasser says FAU did an about face. "Their first mistake was backing the professor and the assignment. But then they found out most of America didn't agree with them," says Sasser.
Rotelas is back in class, but with a different instructor. He claimed "victory" Tuesday on his Facebook page once the university decided he wouldn't be punished.

Wine from Vine to Bottle in Napa Valley
It's a busy time of year in Napa. Vineyard managers are nervously checking weather reports, hoping to let the grapes get a tiny bit riper before the rain sets in. Early every morning the grapes arrive by the truckload to wineries all over town, filling up the tanks as they ferment away.
As part of a press group touring Louis M. Martini and William Hill Estate last week, I got the chance to check out a little winemaking behind the scenes. For a quick look at the making of the 2010 vintage, check out the slideshow!
