Out of the vehicle. Trudging long distances.
I second your opinion.
Inside the shoes the fur is desired to make your feet feel warm. Thanks for the article.
Is there anyone here who lives in the cold places like Michigan, Alaska, or Canada? What kind of shoes do you wear in winters when it is below zero outside? It seems impossible to purchase stylish shoes for that cold weather. While brands like UGG definitely suck stylewise, brands like Barker don't even produce shoes for that weather.
The lower part of my heels start to grind off intensely around the outer edges within a month.
The heels of my leather shoes I use outdoors tend to ruin pretty fast that brings the question if my shoes are appropriate for outdoor wearing. Is there a difference in the sole and heel structure, shape, and material between the indoors and outdoors leather shoes? Alann Flusser wrote about the difference in shape between the dress type and outdoors type in the chapter Tailored Ankle in his Dressing the Man book. However, I didn't really get what he meant.
I always used to get rid of my jeans if they started to have any minute holes. The other day I noticed my blue jeans got thinner in some place so you can even see the white threads. It is almost a hole. This time however I'm trying to find a way to fix it. I wonder what the best way to fix it could be. Sewing jeans up doesn't seem to be a good idea.
I don't think burgundy is more versatile than tan.
What is correct then except for black and brown?

Leaders highlight agreement on key political and religious issues
UAE and US leaders have reaffirm their commitment to their "enduring partnership", which they said had contributed to stability in the Middle East.
UAE and US leaders have reaffirmed their commitment to their "enduring partnership", which they said had contributed to stability in the Middle East. Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, and the outgoing US president, George W Bush, issued a joint statement after meeting at the US presidential retreat at Camp David.
The significance of the meeting was the "great realisation that the UAE is a model of tolerance and prosperity in the Middle East," said Danny Sebright, the president of the US-UAE Business Council in Washington, DC. It was Sheikh Mohammed's second Camp David visit in five months. Mr Bush visited the UAE in January, stopping in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. In their statement, the two leaders highlighted their agreement on several issues, including advancing political and religious moderation, and fighting extremism.
Both countries, the statement noted, "continue to work together to undercut the violent ideology used to justify extremism and prevent terrorist attacks against our people and common interests, and the terrorist financing that supports terrorist organisations". On regional affairs, they said the countries "collaborate as like-minded partners... such as the Arab-Israeli peace process, ensuring peace and stability in Lebanon, and supporting Iraq's increasing engagement with its neighbours.
"The US and UAE also work closely to bring peace and stability to Afghanistan, and to strengthen the economy of Pakistan." The leaders also outlined areas of security co-operation, including nuclear non-proliferation, export controls, as well as combating human trafficking and the financing of illicit activities. The US and the UAE maintain a close defence relationship. In 1994, they signed a defence pact under which the US military may use the UAE's major port and airport facilities.
The UAE is also part of the Gulf Security Dialogue, an initiative aimed at improving security and defence co-operation between GCC countries and the US. Most recently, the US government approved a deal to supply the UAE with missile defence technology. America is already the UAE's top weapons supplier. Relations hit a low in 2006, when members of the US Congress attempted to prevent the UAE-based DP World from assuming control of some shipping facilities at several major US ports.
Since then, authorities and private businesses in both countries have tried to improve the UAE's image by reaching out to key constituencies in the US. Two weeks ago, the Minister of Trade, Sheikha Lubna Al Qasimi, delivered a keynote address to the National US-Arab Chamber of Commerce, and the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Dr Mohammed Anwar Gargash, is due to speak at the Middle East Institute's annual conference on Thursday in Washington, DC.
Monday's joint statement also mentioned the importance of trade and investment in the relationship. "The UAE imports over US$12 billion worth of US goods, making it the largest destination for US products in the broader Middle East region except for Israel," said Mr Sebright, the US-UAE Business Council president. "The investment by the UAE in the US has grown significantly, including direct investment on the ground in US companies and investment in our financial firms and institutions, working with the US to help resolve the financial crisis."
The statement, released during a financial crisis expected to hit the US hard, also welcomed the work of the International Working Group of Sovereign Wealth Funds, which in October presented two dozen voluntary principles to govern the actions of sovereign wealth funds. In recent months, the cash-rich nations of the GCC have been asked by western nations to contribute to the International Monetary Fund to soften the impact of the financial crisis.

TMZ needs to STOP trying to make stars of these so-called reporters. They're like a bunch of school kids running around badgering people with their grade-school questions. The qualifications for their jobs must be quite low. Is that Harvey guy the same one on The People's Court that's always making stupid comments while setting up the cases? He sounds as gay as the rest of his minions.

Harvey aren't you a lawyer? Assault is not physical, that would be battery. Assault is a thread or if you feel threatened by someone. Battery is physical contact, like a punch push or choke.

Are you having problems with your media servers, or is it just me? For example, the home page is largely ok, except the Raw Videos and Photo Galleries sections do not load properly. The Photos, TMZ Live, and TMZ TV sections also do not load their photos and videos properly. I can still watch videos on other sites, so I don't think it's me. Hope it gets sorted quickly. Need my TMZ fix :)

" expressed his outrage over Romney's anti-PBS stance "
Interesting, . . . I wasn't aware that Romney had an "anti-PBS" stance. In fact, I've clearly heard him praise PBS, but simply suggest that we currently cut government slush funding to the network (during a time when we are clearly needing to set new parameters on government spending). PBS will clearly survive, with the Sesame Street franchise earning mega millions per year, not to mention private donations as well.
Romney wants to end "government funding" to PBS, . . . NOT PBS!!!
Nice propaganda, TMZ . . .

What is so important on PBS that justifies borrowing money from China to pay for it?
493 days ago
TMZ is super fixated on Big Bird. Apparently, PBS gets up to 60% of its funding from private donations and grants. Supposedly, the actor who plays Big Bird makes a few hundred thousand $ a year. And from what I've read, PBS is bloated with staff, and isn't hurting for the latest equipment. Note that even Burton admits that PBS needs to reorganize - so the criticism is fair. Should we not examine where all our money is being spent, especially with the current economy? But regardless of what happens, Big Bird isn't going anywhere, so people can chill.

SJP's Makeup Artist
MORE Shoplifting Allegations!
12/14/2012 9:15 AM PST BY TMZ STAFF
10:17AM PDT
Sources close to Leslie tell TMZ ... Leslie handed the lipstick in question to a blond salesperson and has "no idea what happened to it after that." Leslie also claims she went back to the store the next day to buy more stuff and no one said a word.
So much for Sarah Jessica Parker's makeup artist mistakenly taking sunglasses out of a store in Norway without paying ... we found out, on the same trip a tube of lipstick mysteriously disappeared from ANOTHER store after the makeup lady had it in her hot little hands.
As we reported Wednesday ... Leslie Lopez -- SJP's trusted makeup artist since 2005 -- was detained at the Oslo airport after allegedly stealing a pair of sunglasses. She paid a $1400 fine and was allowed to go on her merry way.
You'll recall ... Sarah's people tried to throw the Nobel Institute under the bus, claiming at first the culprit was employed by the organization -- making it seem like she had no connection to Sarah.
As for the lipstick incident ... there's surveillance video showing Lopez picking up the item and then walking out of frame. The store manager tells us ... after Lopez left the store they realized the lipstick was MIA. The store filed a police report. ... the website that first broke the lipstick story ... obtained the surveillance video.
A source close to Lopez tells TMZ ... she did indeed pick up the lipstick but handed it off to someone in her entourage. The source then groused, "There's far greater mysteries to solve than a blurred video over a tube of lipstick that accidentally disappeared.
Wonder what else was missing in Norway?

Why does SJP need to cart around her make up person everywhere she goes? We all know the answer.... and Mr. Ed would agree. BTW, the store filed a police report for a lipstick? Cheez, they would declare war if a whole scarf were stolen. SJP needs to reign in her little thief because it is getting embarrassing.

PETA has done it again, drawing anger from Catholics for featuring a Playboy bunny behind a cross.
By Paul Bedard, Washington Whispers
League President Bill Donohue sent out a release saying that PETA has "launched a Christmas campaign that exploits Christian symbols. It features Playboy queen Joanna Krupa: before Thanksgiving it showed a side angle of her naked from the waist up holding a dog and a rosary; she is adorned with angel wings and a halo. The inscription below reads, "Be an Angel for Animals: ALWAYS ADOPT. NEVER BUY."
In his note, which referred to previous stories about animals dying in PETA's care, he added, "PETA is a fraud. It also has a long and disgraceful record of exploiting Christian and Jewish themes to hawk its ugly services. Those who support this organization sorely need a reality check. They also need a course in Ethics 101."
Through PETA, Krupa emailed this to us: "It's understandable that the Catholic League is wary of another sex scandal, but the sex we're talking about pertains to dogs and cats. As a practicing Catholic, I am shocked that the Catholic League is speaking out against my PETA ads, which I am very proud of. I'm doing what the Catholic Church should be doing, working to stop senseless suffering of animals, the most defenseless of god's creation. I am a voice for innocent animals who are being neglected and dumped by the millions at shelters. In my heart I know that Jesus would never condone the suffering that results when dogs and cats are allowed to breed."

August 4, 2006
Filed under Free Expression
On Thursday we sent a pair of letters to the Hill opposing legislation that would force Web site operators to tag a broad range of legal, socially valuable material with a government-approved warning label identifying the material as "sexually explicit." The move is the latest congressional effort to place unconstitutional controls on Internet content. CDT sent one letter to the Commerce Committee, which included the labeling provision in a major telecom bill, and another to the appropriations committee, urging lawmakers to remove the measure from the massive Science-Commerce-Justice-State appropriations package, to which it was recently appended. What's particularly troubling is that lawmakers have added the labeling mandate to two unrelated bills without any hearings or debate. Worse still, the committees that included the labeling language do not have any jurisdiction over the issue. The labeling mandate is in fact a criminal law that authorizes stiff prison sentences for violators. That jurisdiction rests with the Judiciary Committees, which have never considered the legislation. This is stealth legislating at its worst. Unless the labeling language is stripped from these bills, Congress may create a wholly new crime that targets individuals engaged in legal and constitutionally protected conduct, without any consideration of the consequences. I seem to remember that the Senate used to be considered America's "greatest deliberative body." Here's the first problem with mandatory labeling -- it will do nothing to protect kids. Hundreds of thousands of objectionable Web sites are operated well outside of U.S. law and won't be affected at all by such legislation. No child will be spared exposure to adult-themed content by dent of this law being passed. Second, the legislation will have a profoundly negative impact on the constitutional rights of American Internet users. The bill's vague definitions would sweep in a broad range of protected, worthwhile information including videos, books, television shows, movies, branding a massive amount of legitimate content with the equivalent of a digital scarlet letter. Victoria's Secret would plainly be covered by the law as would safe sex sites supported by banner ads, sites operated by artists selling their wares, all R -rated movies as well as many PG-13 content, music lyrics, online magazines, and more. The only way to avoid being forced to carry the warning label is to engage in self-censorship, and that is a result that the First Amendment does not permit. Finally, it is hard to understand how such a blunt instrument would help guide parents select content for their families, when voluntary ratings and tagging provides far more robust and granular information. All that it is likely to do is undermine existing ratings schemes, cause confusion and freeze innovation. Any of those concerns are enough reason to kill this unwise and unconstitutional legislation outright, but taken together they should send a clear message to lawmakers that this provision should be left on the cutting-room floor. | https://cdt.org/blogs/leslie-harris/pushing-back-labeling?quicktabs_4=1 | dclm-gs1-068720001 | false | false | {

Excerpt from Georgie's Big Greek Wedding? by Emily Forbes
Josh swung himself out of the ocean and onto the back of the pontoon. Slipping his dive fins from his feet and his mask from his face, he held them in one hand as he used his free hand to haul himself into a standing position. The air tank on his back was ungainly, making his balance awkward, but he was used to the sensation and after more than two hundred dives he knew better than to try to lean forward while changing position.
He dropped his fins, mask and snorkel into his dive bag and checked his watch, noting the dive time and depth. It had been a fairly standard dive, pleasant but certainly not the best. The visibility had been reasonable but aside from a few eels and one huge Maori wrasse he hadn't seen anything spectacular.
He was disappointed. He'd hoped the easy access to the world-renowned Great Barrier Reef dive sites off the coast of Cairns in northern Queensland would make up for the fact he'd had to transfer to this country town. He unclipped his buoyancy vest and slung it from his back. Okay, to be fair, Cairns was a large regional centre, not a typical Australian country town, but it definitely wasn't a big city. He'd spent the past two and a half years in Brisbane, a city of two million people, working his way up to a senior position, or so he'd thought, only to find himself banished to the sticks for six months.
But he'd survived smaller towns before, much smaller, all for the sake of experience, and he just hoped this move would pay dividends too. Besides, it wasn't like he'd had much of a choice. His six-month stint started tomorrow and he'd have to make the most of it.
He would take the opportunity to have one last holiday before he prepared to knuckle down and work hard to achieve the goals he'd set himself. He would be free to do as he pleased on his days off but once he returned to Brisbane he imagined days off would be few and far between.
Have fun, he told himself as he pulled his thin dive shirt over his head before running his hands through his hair to dry it off, but remember to think of the bigger picture and of what you stand to gain, that was the way to get through the next six months.
Georgie pushed herself out of the warm water and onto the ledge at the back of the pontoon that was moored permanently at Agincourt Reef. She removed her mask and snorkel as she dangled her legs in the ocean and watched the myriad holidaymakers splashing around, enjoying the beauty of the reef.
Her stomach rumbled as she basked in the afternoon sunshine, reminding her that she'd skipped lunch in favour of a longer snorkel. She pulled the flippers from her feet so she could stand and threw her borrowed diving equipment into the containers at the back of the pontoon. The deck was almost deserted now that most of the day-trippers had consumed their lunches and returned to the water, so she'd go and see what remained of the buffet.
She hung her life jacket on the rack and let her eyes roam over the handful of people gathered on the pontoon. Her gaze lingered on the starboard side where a group of scuba divers had just emerged from the water and were now laboriously removing their equipment. She searched the group for her brother Stephen and his girlfriend, Anna, who were visiting from Melbourne and had come out to the reef to go scuba diving, but she didn't see any familiar faces. They must still be in the water.
They'd tried to talk her into doing an introductory dive and initially she'd been keen, but she'd chickened out when they'd reached the pontoon and she'd seen the huge expanse of empty ocean. Who knew what was lurking under there? She decided she felt safer splashing about with all the other snorkellers. Being able to lift her head out of the water and see the pontoon and the catamarans that had ferried them to the reef gave her a sense of security out in the middle of the vast Pacific Ocean.
She continued to watch the group of divers, smiling at their attempts to shed their equipment. They'd looked so graceful under the water when she'd seen them from her snorkelling vantage point but out of it they looked ungainly. She was glad she'd changed her mind about the introductory dive--she wasn't sure she could be bothered with all the paraphernalia and the air tanks looked awfully heavy.
There was one man, however, who managed to make the tank look as though it weighed no more than a sleeping bag. Georgie watched as he unclipped his buoyancy vest and slung it and his air tank off his shoulders before he removed his thin dive shirt by pulling it over his head. His torso was bare and she was treated to a rather attractive view of a smooth, lightly tanned back and rippling muscles as he stretched his arms overhead. His dark blond hair was cut short and when he ran his hands through it the salt water made it stick up in all directions. He had the physique of a man who worked out. He had broad, square shoulders that tapered nicely into his waist and the muscles on his arms were well defined.
He threw his shirt over his shoulder as her eyes travelled down his back. She could see the two small dimples at the base of his spine just visible above the waistband of his shorts. His shorts hugged the curve of his buttocks and were patterned like the Australian flag. If all divers looked like him, perhaps she would take up the challenge.
'Help, somebody, please, help us.'
Georgie spun around, her meandering thoughts interrupted by a woman's cries. The sound came from her right, out in the ocean. She searched the water and it took her a second or two to locate the woman. She was about fifty metres off the back of the pontoon in one of the snorkelling areas marked out by floating buoys. The woman was waving one arm and hanging onto someone else with her other hand. From the corner of her eye Georgie saw a flash of movement as someone dived off the starboard corner of the pontoon. She turned her head. The guy in the Australian flag board shorts had disappeared. In the time it took her to process the cries for help and to find the source of the sound he had dived into the water and was now swimming strongly towards the distressed woman. | https://ebookstore.sony.com/ebook/emily-forbes/georgie-s-big-greek-wedding/_/R-400000000000000650399 | dclm-gs1-068750001 | false | false | {

Few if any artists in conjunto and Tejano music have received the level of critical acclaim Flaco Jimenéz has enjoyed over the course of a career that's spanned six decades, and it's certain that no one has taken the accordion-fueled Tex-Mex sound to a larger audience than he has. Without compromising his musical vision, Jimenéz has introduced the traditional conjunto sound to mainstream pop and country listeners thanks to his collaborations with the Texas Tornados, Dwight Yoakam, and the Mavericks, and he is celebrated by adventurous rock fans through his work with Ry Cooder, Carlos Santana, Doug Sahm, and the Rolling Stones. Flaco Jimenéz was born in San Antonio, TX in 1939, and raised in a musical family; his grandfather Patricio Jimenéz was an accordion player who embraced the polkas and waltz tunes that are conjunto's stylistic precursors, and Flaco's father Santiago Jimenéz, Sr. was a pioneering Tex-Mex musician who cut one of the first conjunto records, "Dices Pescao" b/w "Dispensa el Arrempujon" in 1936. Flaco's first instrument was the bajo sexto, a Mexican variation on the 12-string guitar which he started to play at age seven, but after he became proficient enough to join his father on-stage, Flaco's interest turned to the accordion, and he developed a joyous, expressive style that was influenced by zydeco master Clifton Chenier as well as his father and his Tex-Mex peers. At 15, Jimenéz formed his first band, los Caporales, and the group soon won a sizable following in San Antonio, cutting records for a local label and earning a weekly spot on a local television variety show. By the early '60s, Jimenéz was already a Texas legend, playing clubs across the Lone Star state and regularly filling dance halls in San Antonio with music that fused the classic Tejano sound with elements of blues and country. Jimenéz gained a loyal fan in Doug Sahm, founder of the Sir Douglas Quintet and a fellow Texas maverick with a taste for crossbreeding rootsy sounds, and in 1973, when Sahm was recording his first solo album for Atlantic Records, he invited Flaco to join him for the sessions (which also included guest spots from Bob Dylan and Dr. John), giving him his first serious recognition outside of the Tejano scene. In 1976, Ry Cooder included Flaco on his album Chicken Skin Music, and the groundbreaking folk and roots music label Arhoolie Records released Flaco Jimenéz & His Conjunto in 1978, finally giving his own music distribution outside of the Southwest. Jimenéz continued to record and tour extensively, broadening his reach across the country and around the world, and in 1988 Dwight Yoakam brought Flaco into the studio to add an accordion part to a duet he recorded with Buck Owens. The tune, "Streets of Bakersfield," became a major country hit, and as Flaco joined Yoakam on tour, he found himself a rising star at the age of 49. In 1989, Jimenéz and his old friend Doug Sahm teamed up for a new project with country legend Freddy Fender and fellow squeeze box man (and one of Sahm's partners in the Sir Douglas Quintet) Augie Meyers; calling themselves the Texas Tornados, the band scored a deal with Reprise Records and they hit the charts with a re-cut of Meyers local hit "(Hey Baby) Que Paso." A track from the Texas Tornados' debut album, "Soy de San Luis," won a Grammy as Best Mexican-American Performance of 1991, and it would be the first of five Grammys Flaco would receive before the decade was out. Now that Flaco was a bona fide star, he signed with Warner Bros. and released a 1992 solo set, Partners, which included guest appearances from Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, and los Lobos. In 1994, the Rolling Stones tapped Flaco to add an accordion solo to their album Voodoo Lounge, and the same year Jimenéz released a self-titled solo set for Arista, a rootsy effort that included vocals from Raul Malo of the Mavericks. A year later, Jimenéz and Malo appeared on record together again when Flaco added a hot accordion solo to the Mavericks' "All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down" from their album Music for All Occasions, which once again brought Flaco's sound to the upper reaches of the country charts. 1996 saw the release of the last studio album from the Texas Tornados, but Jimenéz joined up with another supergroup in 1998, los Super Seven, a collection of top Latin American musicians including members of los Lobos and Joe Ely. Since then, Jimenéz has continued to maintain a busy recording and touring schedule that would tax men half his age as he upholds his status as one of the world's leading ambassadors of Tex-Mex music.

[DEVARIM 30:11] 4Because whatever [T.N. refers to every believer] that has been born of Hashem obtains nitzachon (victory) over the Olam Hazeh. And this is the nitzachon (victory), the nitzachon that overcomes the Olam Hazeh, even [what makes us a believer], our emunah (faith). 5And who is the one overcoming the Olam Hazeh except the one with emunah that Yehoshua is the Ben HaElohim? 6This One is the One having come by mayim and dahm, Yehoshua, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach; not by the mayim only, but by the mayim and by the dahm; and the Ruach Hakodesh is the one giving solemn eidus, because the Ruach Hakodesh is HaEmes. 7Because there are shloshah giving solemn eidus: 8the Ruach Hakodesh and the mayim and the dahm, and the shloshah are for solemn eidus. 9If the solemn eidus of Bnei Adam we receive, the solemn eidus of Hashem is greater, because this is the eidus of Hashem that He has testified concerning the Son of the Oybeshter. 10The one with emunah in the Ben HaElohim has the eidus, even the eidus (witness), in himself; the one without emunah in Hashem has made Hashem a shakran (liar), because he has not had emunah in the eidus which Hashem has testified concerning His Ben HaElohim. 11And this is the eidus, that Hashem gave Chayyei Olam to us, and this Chayyim is in His Ben HaElohim. 12The one having HaBen has HaChayyim; the one not having HaBen HaElohim does not have Chayyim. 13These things I wrote to you who have emunah b'Shem HaBen HaElohim, that you vada (with certainty) may have da'as that you have Chayyei Olam.

Chapter 01 – Number 12, Grimmauld Place
Outside in the darkness of the summer night, the black sky was raining hard with the full moon high in the sky. The rain pounded down in a calm and settling beat but the cooling thunder broke the tranquility. Under the rain stood two people, Aurors. One was a battle-torn man, a tall and bulky veteran with a mad mechanical eye. The other Auror was a young witch with vivid pink hair and a pale, heart-shaped face. Her colorful hair and long swaying robes were drenched.
Great, wet and cold. She thought to herself.
The man handed her a small piece of parchment. She raised an eyebrow in confusion.
The location of the Order of the Phoenix is Number Twelve Grimmauld Place, London.
"Mad-Eye," she began, calling the famous Auror Mad-Eye Moody. "What does this…?"
"Don't speak, just think about it," the man growled in a low, scratchy voice.
Another house soon appeared, squeezing itself between two buildings. It had an uninviting glow to it, with odd angles and a gloomy presence. The two Aurors stepped quickly up the stone steps, knocking loudly on the creaking black door.
"I want you to be in constant vigilance in there. Don't make unnecessary noises."
"Paranoid as always Mad-Eye," the pink haired witch sighed. "What could possible happen?" She asked him, rolling her eyes at her mentor.
"Don't roll your eyes at me," he snapped.
The door suddenly opened, revealing a narrow hallway dark and black that wreaked with something close to death. She saw odd decorations on the shelves, mostly of elf heads, and covered paintings. The wallpaper was peeling and the house itself looked like that of a horror movie. In the doorway stood a red-headed woman with gentle eyes and a motherly aura to her. Along with her warm and pleasant smile, she was a complete contradiction to the house. The aged woman beckoned them in and slammed the creaking door shut behind them. When she turned to them, she had a look of surprise, shaking her head and with a flick of her wand, cleaned and dried them both from the rain.
"Always so nurturing," Mad-Eye grumbled but warmer. "Molly Weasley, meet the newest member of the Order of the Phoenix, Nymphadora Tonks."
"Oh nice to meet you Nymphadora," she smiled in such a soothing and warm voice.
Molly's gentleness made it hard for Tonks to get mad, even at the mentioning of her first name she hated so much. "It's just Tonks," she reminded amiable. "Wotcher," she smiled.
"Oh Tonks dear, welcome to Grimmauld Place," Molly smiled as she led them down the hall. "We're having dinner in the kitchen, please join us. Arthur's still at a meeting with the Ministry and so the table is a little empty right now. Meeting's not till tomorrow evening so to make it easier for you you're welcome to stay the night and please do make yourself at home."
Tonks liked that woman. She was bustling, welcoming, and kind. She followed Mad-Eye and Molly into the kitchen down the narrow and rather creepy hallway, reaching a long dining table that seemed to already be seating several others. She was immediately greeted warmly by a group of red-headed children, an uncaring boy in his mid-teens seated next to a girl with fluffy brown hair who smiled at her kindly. There was a girl who strongly resembled Molly with flaming red hair, and two twins sitting side by side with wide smirks on their faces. If that was what Molly called an empty table, Tonks wondered what a full table looked like to her. The teen red-haired girl gleamed at her, grinning at the sight of her much preferred bubblegum pink hair. Tonks had the sense to make her hair even brighter and almost glowing, almost.
"Nice hair!" the red-haired girl smiled excitedly. "Love the color! I'm Ginny Weasley."
"Wotcher Ginny, I'm Tonks and thanks!" she smiled, taking a seat beside her.
"You're a metamorphmagus?" the brown haired girl asked politely. "I'm Hermione Granger by the way. Your purple hair gave it away," she smiled as Tonks raised an eyebrow.
"A what now?" the uncaring boy beside her asked.
"Yeah, I am." Tonks smiled a bit awkwardly.
I guess getting this conversation out of the way is a good idea.
"Oh does that mean you can morph into whatever? Please show us!" Ginny grinned.
One morph doesn't hurt does it? Not until they start making requests though.
Tonks wrinkled her nose and closed her eyes, concentrating for a moment. Duck beak. She tried to think of the most obnoxious morph at the moment and when she opened her eyes, her nose and mouth had shifted into that of a duck, bright yellow and completely obnoxious. When the kids, along with Molly had their eyes widened in excitement and shock, she changed back and smiled. Success.
"Oh that's so cool!" Ginny and Hermione spoke all together.
"Thanks. Thank Merlin you're not like Umbridge who tends to sneer at my ability," Tonks smiled, feeling more comfortable with every passing second.
Mad-Eye stood behind her and gave a low grumble, or maybe a sigh? It was hard to tell.
"Time for a proper introduction," Mad-Eye grumbled. "Everyone, this is my student and newest member of the Order, Nymphadora Tonks. Tonks, this is Ron Weasley, Fred and George Weasley, Hermione, Ginny, and…"
"Tonks, Mad-Eye you forgetful coot," she corrected him. Her little smile fell when her eyes landed on the lanky man sitting in the far corner of the table. He had on a small, unreadable smile. His black, shaggy hair was down to his shoulders and though his face had some color to it, he looked hallow and haunted. His face had become famous from all the wanted posters, though the man in real life looked a lot less insane than in the posters.
"Sirius Black," Tonks mumbled in an underlying tone.
"That would be me," he nodded casually. "Long time no see cousin Tonks," he smiled.
Despite her Auror instincts screaming at her to be weary of the Azkaban escapee, a more mischievous and rebellious side of her wanted to start conversations and catch up with him, wishing him well. She felt awkward at first around him, but that feeling quickly vanished when dinner started and conversation after conversations followed. The way he treated everybody and acted like a troublemaking teenager too young for his years made her laugh. It was like magic, but after the dinner long conversations, she quickly felt comfortable around a cousin she had lost touch with since forever, in a house she still thought was rather creepy.
"Alright dears, it's getting late. We need to let Tonks rest. You can talk more tomorrow," Molly smiled, knowingly cutting short the animated conversation between Tonks and all the Weasley children, along with Sirius.
I love this woman. I'm getting so tired!
"Alright," Ginny sighed. "Good night Tonks," she smiled and left the kitchen reluctantly.
"Thank you Molly," Tonks smiled.
"Oh it's alright Tonks. On the third floor there are a few empty rooms, take your pick."
The others filed out of the kitchen and off to bed. Tonks gave Sirius a warm nod as she stumbled out of the kitchen suddenly finding herself inches from the floor, nearly tripping over a troll's leg, which she later made out to be an umbrella stand. She could hear Sirius' drunken, howling laugh as he teased her behind his glass of fire whiskey. Getting up, she made sure he could see her mock glare and continued up each step, praying not to trip and make a fool of herself again. When Tonks arrived on the third floor where Molly had directed, she suddenly felt a weird feeling consume her. It wasn't bad but it wasn't exactly a good feeling either. She followed the hallway down to a set of doors. Passing the first two, she suddenly felt a mysterious urge inside of her to peek in the third one.
Well, Molly did say to find an empty room. If someone's in here I could just apologize.
Without much hesitation, Tonks simply turned the unlocked doorknob and pushed it open. Inside, it had been something never would she ever expect. Her eyes widened in a mixture of emotions when she stood face to face with the unmoving creature. It had supernatural pupils with a long snout and tufted tail. It's coat was a light brown and on parts of its head she could see the fur flecked with grey. The creature didn't move but it looked at her closely, wearily. She had seen a glimpse of fear and deep thought in its eyes, wondering if she'd finally gone mad.
Merlin's balls it's a werewolf.
Fear crept into her mind as she placed her hand on her wand, ready in case it attacked. Much to her surprise, the wolf didn't attack. Instead it crouched a little lower, turning its head and let out a soft growl that seemed more like a warning rather than a threat.
An Azkaban escapee, no offense there Sirius, and now a werewolf? For Merlin's sake, what else should I know about this place? Oh, there's that grumpy house elf that calls me insulting names, can't forget him.
Tonks didn't really understand why, but the rebellious and reckless nature of hers brought her other hand up, reaching slowly and cautiously. When the werewolf didn't pose as a menacing threat, she placed her hand on the side of its face, petting it. The wolf then had confusion in its eyes but also a sense of gentleness as well as it looked her back in the eyes.
Blimey, now I'm petting a werewolf! Why was I petting a werewolf?
"Tonks be careful," came Sirius' loud voice, only that time, he seemed completely serious and worried. He had pushed himself in between her and the werewolf, leaving his back open to the creature as he faced her with a grim look on his face. He didn't look like the drunk he had been earlier anymore. Instead Sirius now looked protective and completely, dead serious. "Did he hurt you?" he asked quickly.
Tonks shook her head. When she finally found her voice again, she asked, "You keep a werewolf in the house?"
"No, well…sort of…yes," Sirius replied uneasily. "Just don't go near him and don't hurt him either. He means no harm. You know how werewolves are on the full moon."
"If he means no harm then I won't do anything," Tonks sighed, looking behind Sirius.
"There's a room ready for you down that hall," Sirius pointed. "Please try not to go into this room," he asked her softly.
That night Tonks laid wide awake in her bed, her eyes staring up at the dark ceiling of Grimmauld Place and her hands behind her head. She thought hard and deep, her mind constantly flashing back to the evanescent image of the werewolf earlier. She wondered why it didn't attack, why she suddenly saw so much by looking into its eyes. There were so many things she wanted to know. First why there was a werewolf locked up in a room anyways, and second of all, why she was suddenly so swept up by an unexpected encounter with it.
Back in the room third door down from the stairs on the third floor, the window had been opened, allowing a breath of warm summer wind to sweep the room and carry a new, lingering presence all throughout. Inside the room, there sat a lanky man with shaggy black hair, a hallow and haunted face, with half a bottle of fire whiskey in his hand. Beside him was a friend, during one of his furry-little-problem days. He was the large dog, werewolf with light brown hair and quiet nature that laid beside the leather armchair.
Sirius stifled a laugh after taking a drink from his fire whiskey. "I've got to hand it to you Moony. Only you would wound up in a situation like that," he spoke, pulling his thoughts back to the conversation earlier.
The wolf gave him a soft growl as he seemed to understand what it was saying.
"She's my cousin Tonks and an Auror. She knows how to handle herself against you. You don't have to worry."
Another soft growl came out from the bottom of the wolf's throat.
"The pink hair? She's a metamorphmagus too. She's Nymphadora Tonks, Andromeda's daughter, remember? You've met once or twice actually, back in the days."
Then an abrupt growl slipped out.
"Ah remember now right?" Sirius smiled. "Moony what are you doing questioning me about her for? Tomorrow morning go on and introduce yourself to her!"
Next came a louder growl, a reminding growl.
"So what if you're a werewolf? Besides, she petted you," Sirius laughed, bending over in his chair. "Fearless little Auror that one. I can't believe she actually petted you.
It seemed as if the wolf had rolled its eyes as it turned elsewhere with another soft growl.
"But picking on you is fun Moony," Sirius replied childishly.
Early next morning, Tonks had awoken in a strange house, one she didn't recognize too well, but was suddenly energized by a good night of sleep. She hadn't had one like that in such a long time and was debating whether to just stay in bed a little longer or go downstairs and try out more of the delicious cooking the motherly Molly Weasley had prepared for them. After minutes of loafing around in a bed she wasn't familiar with, Tonks had finally pushed herself off. She passed by the mirror and looked in, realizing her hair had changed to a cute shade of turquoise over the night. She made a face in wonder.
Should I keep it blue or change it pink? Change it pink, adds color to the house.
Upon exiting the bathroom, Tonks had quickly apparated back to her apartment for a change of clothes and was fresh and ready for the day. She headed down the stairs carefully and was close to reaching the first floor. Her eyes closed tight and her nose crinkled up as in her mind she thought of the color bubblegum pink. Her hair shifted smoothly from turquoise blue to the bubblegum pink she loved so much. Before reaching the last step, her klutz extraordinaire side had kicked in and soon she found herself toppling over, landing face first to the ground.
Suddenly, a stable and gentle arm caught her by her waist, breaking her fall and the possibly painful outcome of it. The arm pulled her up as if she was weightless and soon she found herself staring deeply into the eyes of a man. She didn't recognize this man. She only knew she had seen his deep, thoughtful blue eyes somewhere before, a familiar feeling. His light brown hair flecked with grey also seemed very familiar, but she just couldn't connect two to two together that that time. Instead she stood awkwardly close to him, staring back at his surprised face that was merely inches away from hers.
"A little clumsy there," the man laughed in a gentle, teasing tone as if they had been friends for ages. Neither of them realized it, but they were still ridiculously close. | https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7016435/1/Swallow-the-Sun | dclm-gs1-069020001 | false | false | {

It's a two-parter btw because posting this bit might make me get my arse into gear and finish it. Enjoy. xo
Love Will Tear Us Apart
Part 1
"I don't know how to tell you this, Nikki... It's Harry, he's leaving."
Just like that, a thousand thoughts ricochet around your mind and a solitary crack is etched across your heart upon hearing those words. Harry's reasons for leaving rush around your brain but you can't pinpoint a single one and be sure it's true.
You can't bear it.
Your time has been running out quicker than you thought. Your time "to know" has been snatched away from you. You've missed your chance of happiness. Again.
He didn't even have the guts to tell you himself, and he's probably known he was going to leave for a while. He's been living under the same roof as you for over a week now, and the fact he's got a new job somewhere else managed to completely slip his mind. Obviously, being his best friend isn't a good enough reason for him to tell you something so important.
He made Leo tell you that he was leaving you, and he forced him to be there to comfort you when your world crumbled.
'Crumbled' is probably the understatement of the century, as it done far more than that. It practically imploded; crashed and exploded around you and left scattered pieces to fall haphazardly around your lonely self - pieces that you lack the energy and determination to reassemble.
You sit there in silence in the middle of Leo's office, the only sound you can hear being the pounding thumps of your heart beat thundering in your ears, and almost dread finding out more. You can't even comprehend how amazing this job must be if he's willing to abandon your friendship. He's the only person on this Earth who you assumed would never leave you, even though you have a knack of letting go of those closest to you.
"When does he leave?" You ask, your voice heavy and thick with trapped emotions.
"He leaves for New York tomorrow." Leo sighs. New York. Tomorrow. "We're all going to the pub for a few drinks tonight at seven to celebrate Harry's new job and everything. It'd be good if you came too. You can say goodbye properly then."
Today is your last full day with your best friend, and you had absolutely no idea. It's funny how things can change in a few short seconds. For a moment you can't breathe, like it's taking up all the energy in every atom of your being just to take in this information. He's really going. He's really leaving you.
There's a knock at the door behind you, and judging by Leo's expression, you know who it is. You turn to face the visitor, tears threatening to spill at any moment, and your breath catches in your throat as you imagine never being able to see Harry standing in front of you ever again; he's so close yet so far away.
Rising to your feet, you break the eye contact between the two of you and exit the room in absolute silence before heading in the direction of your locker, set on the idea that you're going to have an early night and forget all about it. Harry, however, has other plans as he races after you.
"What makes New York so much better than everything you have here, Harry?" You suddenly ask the second he walks through the door.
He fiddles with the handle of the locker closest to him as if he's trying to assemble a decent explanation (or excuse) for completely abandoning you, he looks down at the floor and sighs, and you suddenly feel as though you're a real couple having your first lover's tiff, despite the two of you arguing almost constantly throughout the years.
"Professorships don't come along very often, Nikki, this is an amazing opportunity for me." He says finally.
"I know it is, and I'm happy for you, I just don't understand why you didn't tell me."
"I didn't know what to say." He replies.
"You could've at least tried for yourself instead of making Leo do it."
"I didn't make Leo do it. He told me that if I didn't tell you soon, he'd tell you himself. I was going to tell you today, I promise, he just got there first." He looks like he's telling the truth, and you hear his voice crack a little with emotion, but you're still hurt.
"I really am happy for you, Harry." You pull him in for a hug and breathe in his scent; it's so distinctively 'Harry' that you begin to wish you could bottle it and keep it forever - you're certain it could help solve all your troubles. You back away and smile brightly in the hope it'll make you look less like you're going to cry.
Exiting the room before he has the chance to reply, you mentally kick yourself for being so bloody selfish. You lied. You should be happy for him. But, once again, you let your feelings for him get in the way. You can't possibly live without him.
"Can you make it to the pub tonight then?" Harry asks as he sits down at his desk opposite yours.
"Of course, a drink and a decent goodbye is the least you owe me after having to put up with you for the past eight years."
"Oh, well, I am sorry." He replies, feigning guilt, before regaining his composure and pretending to do some work. "I don't think I'll be home tonight, I'm going to see my mother before I leave and then straight to the pub."
"Oh right. What does she think about it all?"
"She's happy for me, I guess." He shrugs.
"You guess?"
"I can't tell whether she's happy about me getting the job, or happy to be finally getting rid of me."
"I think everyone is happy about the latter, Harry." You joke, the amused smile playing on your lips mirroring his.
Just saying goodbye to him when he leaves the Lyell that afternoon, even though it wasn't going to be for very long, hurt a little bit. Like the pain in your chest is getting stronger and more difficult to fight everytime you think about him moving far away.
It's not until you get back to your apartment that you notice the small hints he's unknowingly left for you. Some of the bottles of his shower gel in the bathroom have disappeared, his favourite cereal has ran out and hasn't been replaced yet, there's less of his clothes in his wardrobe than there was before. All these silly little things signalling his impending departure had been completely ignored by you, simply because you were under the erroneous impression that he couldn't possibly leave you. Not ever. Especially not now.
The familiar empty feeling in your apartment begins to seep in; the raw anguish of the situation so palpable in the air it makes it hard to take satisfying breaths.
In a moment of erratic panic, you glance at the clock on the wall. 6 o'clock. You have exactly one hour to mentally and physically prepare yourself to say goodbye to your best friend.
And that comes with the possibility of your life never being the same ever again.
This may sound really long and boring, and I'm sorry but I promise it's going somewhere, just give it a chance! Next part will be up as soon as it's finished (which won't be long, I promise), providing I finally manage to work out how the ending is going to go.
Reviews would make me very happy, especially as I've been grounded all week after being my usual mischievous self and manged to get myself into A LOT of trouble! Again. ;D
So yeah, please please please let me know what you think, even if you do think it's a load of shite. xo | https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8436355/1/Love-Will-Tear-Us-Apart | dclm-gs1-069070001 | false | false | {

I stepped over the grounds of the Glass house and I was met by strong arms around me. I smirked and was glad to be away from Monica. An hour of her judging me was an hour too much. Shane pulled away giving me a quick kiss and lead me to the living room. There lie a bowl of chili and a plate of hotdogs.
"Shane I'm not that – "
"Good cause that's all for me." He said with a smirk. I hit his chest and walked into the kitchen to grab a small bowl for myself. I came back and he already had the controller in hand with a stoic look on his face. I sat down next to him with a humph. He moved slightly to wrap his arm around me only to continue playing. My hero I thought bitterly then took it back. Wow that was really dark. I set my empty bowl down and put my head on his shoulder. I was about to close my eyes when something rolled into the room with a loud crack. I bolted up and Shane had something in his hand. It was a rock. I smirked and was somewhat mad. Texting hello. It is the 21st century is it not. I got up stretching and grabbed the rock. I tore off the string sitting back down and reading the note.
You must be on time today. No excuses. I'll eat you. I smirked and crumbled up the old parchment and walked to the door tossing out the rock. Shane looked miffed.
"What?" I asked sitting back down.
"I don't like how he thinks he can choose whether or not he wants to eat you." I stifled a laugh. Shane didn't appreciate it.
"I'm sorry it's humorous that you are offended that he wants me to be on time."
"No not that he wants you on time, but he thinks he can go around eating people as he pleases." He waved his hands in a grand gesture. My smirk slowly faded.
"Well technically he can. He is a bit if a maniac. Why are you making a big deal over a few letters?" I gave him questioning look. He looked at the game with odd determination. "Hello Shane. You better not be ignoring me." He kept playing. I stood up in anger and shouted, "Fine don't talk to me I'm trying to help!" I ran up the stairs, quickly changed, and headed back down timing it just right a walking right through the wall into Myrnin's lab. A green light met my forehead and I froze. The hell? As fast it came it was gone and a pair of very cold lips met mine. After the initial shock and confusing I thought I could enjoy it until I remembered a) I had a boyfriend, in the dog house right now, but still my boyfriend and b) it was Myrnin for Christ's sake. After a few seconds he pulled away and the light was back. I was sorely confused, "Uh Myrnin. What the hell are you doing?" He looked at a tiny screen on the smirked.
"Nothing." He flashed somewhere leaving me in a daze. My fingers gently rose to feather light my lips. Tracing the now cold lines around my mouth. He returned without whatever object he had and smiled at me. Like I had gone mad and he was welcoming me into his asylum for the delusional.
"Don't look at me that way. What was that for?" I repeat putting my hand down quickly.
"You were late." He said bluntly rocking on the balls of his feet with his hands clasped behind him. I gave him a look as if I had gone mad.
"You need to learn to text." I said stepping further into the lab and past him.
"Why last time I had a phone, if I recall correctly, it broke." He stated following me.
"Because you didn't have a Nokia. Those things don't break for anything." I could tell he was looking at me curiously. I had a thought. I turned around to face him and he was closer than I had anticipated. I was pointing my finger and it touched his chest when I turned around. "What – wha – what was that light? Earlier…." My voice trailed off at his closeness. You have a boyfriend. You have a boyfriend. You have a boyfriend. You have a – a um. He looked down at me curiously.
"What light?" He whispered. What do I have? My mouth went dry and ran my tongue over my lips and tried to get saliva producing again.
"The green…." Boyfriend? Was that what I had? I forget. I shook my head furiously and put my hand down. I managed to gain my composure enough to focus on my thought process other than the, might I add shamefully, very attractive vampire staring at me with a quirked grin. "What was that light? I want answers Myrnin." He made a strangled laugh and looked over me to the table walking around me leaving me wondering what the hell I just did? And what happened?
"You are seeing things little Claire. I think you need sleep, but not now you just got here. Time for work." He clapped his hands excitedly. I don't think I was ever more scared of him in that moment then I had when he was in the disease.
*after Claire walks through the portal*
After she walked in I scanned her and high levels of noradrenalin and and corticotrophin-releasing hormone. Low levels of serotonin were in the cerebral fluid and low levels of dopamine as well. I quickly recorded it down and returned to, hopefully, change her mood. I had to remember that this was an experiment not enjoyment, ok a little bit of enjoyment, and hurried to scan her again. The levels of serotonin and dopamine changed dramatically. Norepinephrine was through the roof I could tell by the sound of her heart and how the smell of roses was battling the smell of body odor. Oh this was going to be a fun experiment. Fun indeed. I could sense her shock when I was closer than she had originally proposed. I decided to toy with her not understanding her questions. I found it quite humorous that she was at a loss for words when it came to my familiarity with being in her space. I decided to change the subject, so I ventured over to the table and I could hear her heart rate decline. A wave of emotion washed over me and I almost had to hold onto the table. To hear her heart decline made my hypothesis all the more accurate. I let out a manic laugh and she turned around. I righted myself and she walked up beside me.
"Are you okay?" She asked putting a hand on my forearm and I looked at her hand on my arm. I smirked at her and nodded.
"Peachy." She let go slowly and I looked over the table and the arrangement of utensils I had laid out.
"I worry about you sometimes." She said as I had begun to explain the experiment I had planned today.
"Oh don't dear Claire your worry would go to waste." I sigh and without further interruptions we threw ourselves into the trial.
It was hours later and my feet ached. I stretched and there were a few pops in my back. I groaned and looked around. "Myrnin you need a clock." I called out mid stretch, so it was strained. He appeared again.
"Because it would be easy to look up from the bench and go oh look it's time to go, or hey it's been hours since Myrnin ate maybe I should feed him before he feeds on me. Just a thought." I saw as I finish cleaning up.
"Where's the fun in that?" He was carrying around something heavy. I sighed and looked at my phone. Wow it really was late. Almost ten. Oh this was doing nothing to prove to Shane I was having an affair, but I wasn't so he shouldn't be so upset and just trust me. I put my phone away and went over to grab my stuff.
"Uh Mir can I have a lift?" He put whatever it was he had down and looked at me with a questioning look. "Home. The domicile in which I slumber." I made a sleeping motion with my hands. He sniffed obviously offended by my explanation. He flicked his wrist and a portal opened. I was about to step through when he called after me.
"On time or I get to repeat my experiment." He gave a manic laugh and I wasn't sure if I was happy about a repeat of earlier that day or uncomfortable. I appeared to see Eve and Michael on the couch asleep. Well Eve was asleep. Michael looked like he was pretending. Michael awoke from his 'slumber' and gave me a look.
"It's late." I set my stuff down and sat in the chair.
"Yerp." I looked at the TV as it was showing the ending credits of a movie I didn't recognize. Eve stretched and mumbled something and I turned to see Michael's check flush slightly.
"I should put her to bed." He said standing up carefully and lifting up Eve.
"Uh hu." I waited until the movie rolled to the title sequence when I shut it off and headed to bed. I flopped onto my bed and my face hit the pillow. I was almost asleep when my door opened. I looked up to see Shane standing there.
"You're home?" He asked curiously.
"No I am a figment of your imagination. Or you're dreaming choose a scenario." He walked in and lied on my bed. He wrapped his arms around me and I was wondering what I had done to deserve this. Last time we had talked he was ignoring me.
"I think I choose a dream." He mumbled into the pillow and pulled my closer. I took a deep breath and Shane kissed my forehead. I couldn't help but think about earlier today. Walking in only to find myself subject to a god knows what kind of experiment and a new competitor for best kisser. I didn't want to think about it that way, but it was pretty good for as short as it was. Wonder what it would be like…..No shut up committed relationship remember. With Shane. Myrnin is your boss. Was he? I thought to when he was in the chair and how alone he sounded and I wanted to go back. I couldn't do that. I wonder if he actually believed himself when he said it was a dream. He hadn't asked anything about it, so he must have. I inhaled sharply and waited until Shane was asleep before I too felt the cool wash of slumber encompass me.
Hello guys I'm glad to have gotten this one done so quickly I don't like the ending but if you do then be free to say so in the reviews and also my birthday is the second but don't worry you don't have to give me reviews just for that just wanted to let ya'll know | https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8543185/3/Experiment-for-the-Tardy | dclm-gs1-069090001 | false | false | {

friends mostly. and ... other stuff.
Grad student, sometimes-writer, and hobo.
I used to post fanfic on this account, but in an attempt to sync up my fanfic usernames, I've decided to post/link any new fics (post-2014) to fdraskol/[personal profile] raskol. Old fanworks will remain unlocked on this account, but if you're here only for the fic or whatever, you might be better off checking out those accounts instead.
On the other hand, if you want to be let in on my immensely boring life, drop me a comment! I am pretty open to friending people if we've exchanged words before or have similar interests. (And, vice versa, feel free to defriend me if I am too mundane for you.)
If you need to contact me about anything and for some unknown reason don't want to PM me, here's your chance to do so. Comments are screened and anonymous commenting is enabled, so have at it!
[recs] Persona 4 Fanfiction
Been planning on making this post for a while, but then I got lazy. Thankfully, fishandcheese is here to twist my arm and twist it she did for this one, so here we go! A Persona 4 fanfiction rec post!
Keep in mind that there are a fuckton of spoilers in these fics, so if you plan on going into the game unspoiled, you might want to avoid these. (I mean, especially since I don't label any spoilers.) Also, many of these fics come from badbadbathhouse, the P4 kink meme; hence, lots of anonymous fics and a few untitled ones floating around in this post. If you read an anon fic and recognize it as one that's been claimed by an author, please direct me towards it so I can link it to its proper page.
Aaand, I believe that is it. Onwards and upwards!

[rec] London Airport - Christopher Logue
home is where the mind belongs
London Airport
Christopher Logue
Last night in London Airport
I saw a wooden bin
So I wrote a poem
and popped it in.
home is where the mind belongs
The Sciences Sing a Lullabye
Albert Goldbarth
Physics says: go to sleep. Of course
you're tired. Every atom in you
has been dancing the shimmy in silver shoes
nonstop from mitosis to now.
Quit tapping your feet. They'll dance
inside themselves without you. Go to sleep.
Geology says: it will be all right. Slow inch
by inch America is giving itself
to the ocean. Go to sleep. Let darkness
lap at your sides. Give darkness an inch.
You aren't alone. All of the continents used to be
one body. You aren't alone. Go to sleep.
Astronomy says: the sun will rise tomorrow,
Zoology says: on rainbow-fish and lithe gazelle,
Psychology says: but first it has to be night, so
Biology says: the body-clocks are stopped all over town
fishandcheese sent me this poem the other day. Felt like sharing it. Who says science can't be poetic?
Title: What the Thunder Said
Genre: Friendship, Romance
Length: ~900
Summary: One-shot; pre-manga. Nobility obliges. Ran Fan and Ling, on responsibility. UST.
Warnings: None. PG.
Comments: Er, when it’s maybe not spring, I will write something about these two that doesn’t involve water falling from the sky. Thanks to fishandcheese for the beta; really appreciate it, buddy.
"You know, Ran Fan," he said, "when I was younger, I was convinced that I wasn't a true son of the emperor."Collapse )
[rec] World - Reginald Shepherd
home is where the mind belongs
Reginald Shepherd
was too much of a sacrifice, and I was never
just, like you; he was working for the infidel,
his domino mask said that, blue turban with one
black feather and a ruby set exactly
in the center: entitled to his own sedan chair
with four bearers. An unlikely forebear.
Venice perhaps, betraying anybody’s lovers
to sell more of the sea, body of cold
salt water warming in the sun. An heirloom
brooch my mother never owned
is waiting for me when I wake up: Honi soit
qui mal y pense
, it says in French that no one
speaks any more, medieval as the patience
it takes to go blind coaxing these raised letters
out of hammered gold and ivory filigree, a full year
of travel and expense: someone waited the entire
fourteenth century for this, no doubt. He’s dead
by now, still waiting for that final shipment
from Bukhara, Samarkand, or the Tarim
who could command such labor, but
my ancestors weren’t involved, and it was
just a gift, passed down like a secret
or a kiss from mouth to mouth: by the time
it’s come to me it’s been forgotten what it
was, what that man’s lips could possibly
have tasted of. Who knows who
where. This amulet, charm, or medallion
against shames not to be named never was
my mother’s, never belonged to anyone
I could mistake for mine. My mother
had nothing she could hand down; I lost it
centuries ago. In my dream he kissed me (I forgot
to say), begged that I not think evil of him
I won’t survive.
Shepherd's commentary on the poem here.

Based on this thread, it seems that Broadcom directly provides the wl module. Their code page for it is here: http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php.
It looks like they want you to email support requests to the address provided on that page.

The Spirit of Aggieland
(Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)
But there is a spirit that can never be told, it is the spirit of Aggieland.
Indeed, there is an unmistakable aura surrounding College Station and the University they hold so dear.
An ambiance that engulfs the community so invigorating that even Texas fans are forced to appreciate upon every visit.
What is it about Texas A&M that makes it such a special place?
To start with, you'd be hard pressed to find a school anywhere as rich in traditions as the Aggies. From the 12th Man, born in 1922 when the Aggies, led by coach Dana Bible, were playing Centre College, the number one ranked team at the time.
As the Aggies were being decimated by injuries, E. King Gill, a former player was called upon to suit up and stand ready in case he was needed to play.
As the game ended, Gill was the last man standing on the sideline and went on to say "I wish I could have ran in and scored the winning touchdown but I didn't. I simply got ready and waited—just in case I was needed."
That spirit of readiness for service has since grown vigorously throughout the years and has gone on to identify with the entire student body of Texas A&M, exuberantly passionate and everlastingly supportive of their beloved Aggies.
From the midnight yell to the famous "Maroon Out" of Kyle Field, there is simply no place like College Station.
Speaking of Kyle Field, there may not be a better place in the nation to watch a football game, no matter the fortunes of the team in any given year.
When they all lock shoulders and sing "The Aggie War Hymn" it literally looks and feels as if the entire stadium is rocking back and forth.
As tradition rich as A&M is combined with it's illustrious history, deep resources, rich alumni, and status as the 2nd largest University in Texas, it perplexes me why they can not seem to elevate themselves among the nations elite on the football field.
One thing is for certain, A&M is a sleeping giant. One it's student body, alumni, and supporters are desperate to unleash.
As for me I hope they stay nestled in their slumber, I for one know what kind of damage the beast can do if woken up.
As a Longhorn, that's an imposition I'd rather not have to endure.

Memorable Moments from Sochi
Medal Count for 2010 Olympics: Day Nine Round-Up, Ski-Jump History

Al Bello/Getty Images
The ninth day of competition saw history made for Swiss ski jumper Simon Ammann and frustration for the US contingent. In total, 18 medals were awarded to 11 countries.
South Korea gained four medals, including a gold in speed skating, while Sweden excelled in the cross country pursuit, taking a gold and bronze. The United States continues to lead the medal table, with a total of 23—an impressive nine ahead of Germany.
Ladies Super-G
At the Whistler Creekside, Julia Mancuso had the privilege of opening the ladies' Super-G, hoping to reproduce the initial promise of her male counterparts, Bode Miller and Andrew Weibrecht.
Mancuso's prospects for gold, however, was certain to be dismissed in favour of Lindsey Vonn and Germany's Maria Riesch, who have both taken gold at the Vancouver Games.
The 25-year-old briefly deviated off the course during her run, making it immediately doubtful that she would medal, but she was able to regain control.
Despite the error, Mancuso's time of 1.21.50 held off the next 10 competitors until Riesch completed her run just 0.04 seconds faster than the American.
A number of the competitors struggled to navigate sections of the course and that disorentation was compounded by an extensive shade. Some opted to concede without even completing the course.
Canadian Emily Brydon endured a severe impact into the ground, sustaining a possible injury. The crash was yet another suffered by Canada's squad of skiers.
Despite an inexplicable lapse in concentration at the start, Austrian Elizabeth Goegl remarkably regained her composure to record a time of 1.21.14—0.32 seconds faster than Riesch.
Vonn, who maintained an infectious positivity after a frustrating crash in the combined, orchestrated a typically functional run to immediately supplant Goegl with a time of 1.20.88.
That performance by Vonn was, however, sensationally eclipsed by Austrian Andrea Fischbacher, who had narrowly missed out on bronze in the downhill.
With a time of 1.20.14—0.74 faster than Vonn—Fischbacher reclaimed first place for Austria. The conduct of the country's female skiers has gone some way to atoning for the dismal performances of their male counterparts, who have bewilderingly yet to medal on the piste.
Vonn then dropped to third after an absorbing run by Slovenia's Tina Maze. Some 31 skiers followed Maze, but it was inconceivable that they would be able to imprint themselves on the event and do anything other than go through the motions.
With the final attempt by Kazahkstan's Lyudmila Fedotova, it became official that gold was Fischbacher's. She became the first of Austria's struggling contingent of skiers to take gold at Whistler.
At the Whistler Olympic Park, the ski jumpers resumed the medal competition after a hiatus of seven days (qualifiying for some occurred on the 19th), vying for a place on the podium in the long hill individual discipline.
The jumping machine, Switzerland's Simon Ammann, was again favored to take his second gold of the 2010 Games. He was the first athlete to receive one in this Olympics, in the normal hill variant.
He thrived in the first round, achieving an incredible jump of 144.0 metres for a score of 144.7. In the final round, Japan's elder statesman, Kazai Noriaki, kept first place warm for 10 jumps until displaced by Czech Antonin Hajek.
The lead inevitably entered a state of flux while the densely congested crowd eagerly awaited the appearance of the compelling Simon Ammann.
Before Whistler's spectacular scenery, Ammann again demonstrated his incomparable ability, generating an outstanding jump of 138.9 metres and a points total of 283.6.
Poland's Simon Malysz earned silver with a jump of 131.3 metres, while Austria's Gregor Schlierenzauer took bronze.
The result, curiously, was an identical repeat of the normal hill discipline. Ammann has now become the first long jumper to take gold in both events at two successive Olympics, and is now Switzerland's most decorated athlete.
Cross Country Skiing
In the 30 km pursuit, 64 competitors took to the course at the Whistler Olympic Park. Like a marathon, the competitors remained clustered together for some time until it seemed that Lukas Bauer was attempting to engineer their fragmentation.
Baur maintained a lead for the majority of the event's classic phase, but was overtaken during the transition to the "freestyle." It was in the freestyle stage that the race's momentum began to intensify.
Sweden's Johan Olsson immediately asserted himself, aggressively establishing a considerable lead that he continued to extend after the hour threshold. His decisive audacity consolidated his lead, as if he were impervious to the rigours of such a risky approach.
Those exertions, however, made his lead inherently untenable and it eventually galvanised those trailing him to close the distance. His immense lead was reduced to 16 seconds, then to just five as they closed on the finish line.
Fatigue began to overcome the Swede and he could do nothing to prevent his nearest rivals from overtaking him.
In what was an engrossing end, Olson's teammate Marcus Hellner emerged from the small group that had caught up with Johann to seize gold, just ahead of Germany's Tobias Angerer.
He became the Swede to take gold in the pursuit, while Olsen claimed a deserved bronze. Instead of collapsing in sheer exhaustion as others were understandably beginning to, Olsson chose to congratulate and hug his teammate. It was a first Olympic medal for the 24-year-old Hellner.
Speed Skating
There were three speed skating medal events at the Richmond Olympic Oval and Pacific Coliseum. The crowds, again vocally enthuastic, witnessed another day of exceptional skating.
In the men's 1500m, the Nethderlands' Mark Tuitert was emphatic on the track, recording a time of 1.45.57 that American favourite, Shani Davis, could not counter.
Norwegian Havard Bokko earned Norway's first speed skating medal since the 2002 Games.
Davis had already taken one gold at the Olympics, becoming the first speed skater to defend his title in the 1000m.
In the 1500m short track, Olympic record holder Wang Meng—who took gold in the 500 metres—crashed out in the semifinal after a collision.
Wang Meng's compatriot, 18-year-old Zhou Yang, took gold in the final with an Olympic record time of 2.16.933. That finish decisively broke a record (2.21.069) set by South Korea's Choi Eun-Kyung at the 2002 Salt Lake Games.
South Korea continued to be well represented on the speed skating podium, with Lee Eun-Byul and Park Seung-Hi claiming silver and bronze, respectively.
In the men's 1000 metres, Ohno was again a favourite for gold but first place was secured by South Korea's Lee Jung-Su. Ohno had attempted to overtake Canada's Hamelin brothers, but in doing so allowed the two South Koreans to surge past the three.
The gold was Lee Jung-Su's second of the Vancouver games, while Lee Ho-Suk's spirited performance earned him his first silver.
In taking bronze, Ohno became the all-time most decorated American Winter Olympian in terms of overall medals, surpassing retired speed skater Bonnie Blair.

The Goat Grill
Goatstown (Irish: Baile na nGabhar) is a suburb of Dublin located in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County, Ireland. To the west is Dundrum, to the east is Mount Merrion and Stillorgan, to the south is Sandyford, and to the north is Roebuck and Clonskeagh.
Goatstown is primarily a residential area, with extensive housing developments from the middle decades of the 20th century onwards, with little local industry. It is roughly centred on a pub named the "Goat Grill", at the intersection of Goatstown Road and Taney Road, where there has been a pub since the early 18th century.
Goatstown got its name from the fact that formerly goats were bred there; in the 19th century it was popular to travel to Dundrum and nearby Goatstown as goat's milk was considered to be excellent for those suffering from tuberculosis.[1][2]
The Luas green line runs through the southwest corner of Goatstown and the Dundrum Luas stop is nearby with the vehicular entrance off Taney Road.
The bus routes of the 11, 11a and 75 run through Goatstown as well, linking Goatstown to the city centre, Dun Laoghaire and Tallaght.
A number of regional roads pass through Goatstown. At the crossroads the R112 passes from west (Taney Road) to east (Mount Anville Road), to the south is the R825 (Goatstown Road) and to the north is the R133 (Lower Kilmacud Road). A short distance from the crossroads is a T-junction where the R826 terminates at the R112 on the Taney Road.
To the east of the Goatstown Road lie the allotments, much of which was compulsorily purchased during the 1960s for the proposed Eastern Bypass / Saint Helen's link road. A portion of this land is currently being built on by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, to provide social and affordable housing.[citation needed] A Georgian house and remaining surrounding land, known as Trimbleston, was sold in 1998 for over £2 million; bought by Sorohan Brothers, builders. The house was subsequently damaged in two fires and the remaining ruins demolished and replaced by a housing and apartment development, also called Trimbleston. Phase two of Trimbleston has recently commenced with the demolition of five 2-storey houses on Goatstown Rd and construction of 202 dwelling units in their place and on land to the east owned by the Sorohans.
Notable events
Charlie Chawke, who took over the pub in 1982 and changed the name from Traynor's to the Goat Grill, was shot in the leg in October 2003 during a robbery and had his right leg amputated five days later.[3]
In another widely publicised case, on 5 March 2008 a jury found Brian Kearney guilty of the murder of his wife, Siobhán Kearney, at their home in Cnoc na Sí, Goatstown in February 2006.[4]

Valdez /vælˈdz/ is a city in Valdez-Cordova Census Area in the U.S. state of Alaska. According to the 2010 US Census, the population of the city is 3,976. The city is one of the most important ports in Alaska. The port of Valdez was named in 1790 after the Spanish Navy Minister Antonio Valdés y Fernández Bazán.
Valdez is a fishing port, both for commercial and sport fishing. Freight moves through Valdez bound for the interior of Alaska. Sightseeing of the marine life and glaciers, together with both deep-sea fishing, and heli skiing support a tourist industry in Valdez. The oil from the Trans-Alaska pipeline is loaded onto ships at the Valdez oil terminal. It is sometimes called the Switzerland of Alaska.[3]
Alyeska Pipeline Service Company is one of the biggest employers in town but it started to move several positions to its headquarters in Anchorage since the town council passed a resolution charging a tax to all the tankers coming into the port to be loaded with oil. This has had an impact in the population size and the economy.
Valdez is connected to the interior of Alaska by the Richardson Highway, and is a port of call in the Alaska Marine Highway ferry system. Just north of Valdez on the highway is Thompson Pass, which has spectacular waterfalls and glaciers next to the highway. Thompson Pass is also known for treacherous driving conditions during the winter.
The Valdez Airport, also known as Pioneer Field, is serviced by two airlines, Grant Aviation and Era Alaska.
Valdez hosted the World Extreme Skiing Championship (WESC) in the early 1990s. There are five heli-ski outfits based in the greater Valdez area.[citation needed]
Valdez in 1910.
The Valdez townsite, abandoned and relocated following the 1964 earthquake, was being used as a pipe yard for the construction of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System, as shown in this 1974 photo
The city of Valdez was badly shaken but not destroyed in the 1964 Good Friday Earthquake. Liquefaction of the glacial silt that formed the city's foundation led to a massive underwater landslide, which caused a section of the city's shoreline to break off and sink into the sea. The underwater soil displacement caused a local tsunami 30 feet (9.1 m) high that traveled westward, away from the city and down Valdez Bay. Thirty-two men women and children were on the city's main freight dock to help with and watch the unloading of the SS Chena, a supply ship that came to Valdez regularly. All 32 people died as the dock collapsed into the ocean with the violent landslide. There were no deaths in the town.
Residents continued to live there for an additional three years while a new site was being prepared on more stable ground four miles (6 km) away. The new construction was supervised by the Army Corps of Engineers. They transported 54 houses and buildings by truck to the new site, to re-establish the new city at its present location. The original town site was dismantled and abandoned.[5]
From 1975-1977, the Trans-Alaska pipeline was built to carry oil from the Prudhoe Bay oil fields in northern Alaska to a terminal in Valdez, the nearest ice-free port. Oil is loaded onto tanker ships for transport. The construction and operation of the pipeline and terminal boosted the economy of Valdez.
The 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill occurred as the oil tanker Exxon Valdez was leaving the terminal at Valdez full of oil. The spill occurred at Bligh Reef, about 40 km (25 mi) from Valdez. Although the oil did not reach Valdez, it devastated much of the marine life in the surrounding area. The clean-up of the oil caused a short-term boost to the economy of Valdez.

Geography and climate[edit]
Valdez is located at 61°7′51″N 146°20′54″W / 61.13083°N 146.34833°W / 61.13083; -146.34833. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 277.1 square miles (718 km2), of which, 222.0 square miles (575 km2) of it is land and 55.1 square miles (143 km2) of it (19.88%) is water.
Valdez is located near the head of a deep fjord in the Prince William Sound in Alaska. It is surrounded by the Chugach Mountains, which are heavily glaciated. Valdez is the northernmost port in North America that is ice-free year-round. The northernmost point of the coastal Pacific temperate rain forest is in Valdez, on Blueberry Hill.[6] Despite the present of temperate rainforest, Valdez under the Köppen climate classification has a subarctic climate (Dfc): its winters, though much warmer than most climates of this type, are not sufficiently mild, as those of, say, Ketchikan or Kodiak are, to fit into the oceanic or subpolar oceanic climate category.
According to the Weather Channel and NOAA, Valdez is the snowiest place in the United States, with an average of almost 300 inches per year. In winters past, they have had years when more than 100 inches of snow fell in 5 separate months (not in the same year).[7] [8]

Oil terminal[edit]
The Valdez Marine Terminal is an oil port in Valdez, at the southern end of the Alaska Pipeline. The terminal was the point of departure for the Exxon Valdez just prior to the Exxon Valdez oil spill.
There are 18 holding tanks at the terminal, and an average of three to five oil tankers depart from the terminal each week. Since the pipeline became operational in 1977, more than 15,000 tankers full of oil have left the terminal.
Media and culture[edit]
Despite its small size, Valdez was at one time home to two weekly newspapers, the Valdez Star and the Valdez Vanguard. In 2004, the Star bought out the Vanguard. Valdez is also home to radio broadcasters KCHU, KVAK, KVAK-FM.
Valdez is also home to the Last Frontier Theatre Conference, hosted by the Prince William Sound Community College. The annual conference attracts playwrights and actors from around the United States.
It is used as a loose base for a multiplayer level titled "Midnight Sun" in the Armored Fury expansion for the 2005 video game Battlefield 2.
In the 2010 video game Battlefield: Bad Company 2 under the name "Port Valdez" is an available multiplayer map. The map landscape is based on the Valdez Marine Terminal with some modifications.
On Deadly Ground (1994) was filmed near Worthington Glacier, Alaska, as well as the Valdez Civic Center and Valdez Airport, and 30 miles (48 km) outside Valdez on Thompson Pass in the Chugach Mountains.

0.066515 | <urn:uuid:94fee033-dcaf-48fe-8fb8-46540c324eac> | en | 0.897516 | We raised some issues with the SAP migration tools during a replatforming project including Unicode conversion from SUN/Oracle to Windows SQL Server.
Our migration went well and all the log files from the technical migration reported no error, but during the application testing the customer claimed some missing data in a couple of tables.
What happened:
These tables were splitted in at least four parts from the R3TA tool and exported and imported without any errors. After a detailed investigation, we found that some of the packages a empty:
0 rows exported and 0 rows imported.
A cross check inside the source SAP system with the select patterns out of the WHR files showed the missing entries. The select statement with the select criteria out of the HWR files executed directly on Oracle using sqlplus resulted with 0 rows again.
After tracing the selection of SE16 with ST05, we found the issue:
The WHERE condition inside SE16 was like
• SELECT COUNT(*) from "/BIC/ADC_CNT200" WHERE "CRM_OHGUID" <= '4909283A9B121CF6E10000000A31EA29' AND "CRM_ITMGUI" = ' ';
Result: 238656 rows
The WHERE clause with the conditions of the WHR files was:
Result: 0 rows
The difference is the blank in the second condition! So the error is caused by the '' in the where condition created by the R3TA tool.
After changing the WHR file and re-export/re-import the table, we got the same row count on both sides.
Now the customer raised the concern about the consistency of the migrated data. Therefore we checked the row count for all tables on the source and the target system and compared these values with the information recorded in the *.toc (export) and *.log files (import) to be sure we didn't lost any data on the way from Oracle to SQL.
Thereby we found two additional strange phenomena:
1. The cluster table REGUC had app. 18.000 additional rows on the target side, but from the application point of view it was consistent.
1. The row count information from the *.toc and *.log files was not consistent with the row count in the source and target DB
To 1.: The phenomena with REGUC was raised by the data-growth during the UNICODE conversion. The table is a table cluster resp. A physical cluster table with a VARDATA field containing compressed raw data. The content of the VARDATA field is extracted and converted during the migration/Unicode conversion. The length of the field (3.800 bytes) doesn't change - however after the Unicode conversion some data doesn't fit in one record only so you have more records on the target. So a continuation record is created and the table has more records after the migration. This could be verified with the following select statement, which needs to show the same values on the source and target:
• Select count(*) from REGUC where PAGENO=0;
(table records without continuation records)
To 2.: For some transparent tables (e.g. PA0000 in the HCM system) we had the same row count information in the *.toc (export) and *.log (import) files. Both files showed 145.189 rows, but a select count(*) on the source and target DB showed 142.615.
We reported all the issues to SAP. The issue with the R3TA is already corrected in version 7.20 and higher and will be back-ported to earlier versions (7.0x and 7.1x), too. The issue with the inconsistent row count is still under investigation from SAP. I will update the blog, if we get an response from SAP
Lessons learned:
Don't trust the log files of the SAP migration tools, you have to verify the consistency of the databases by additional checks. | http://blogs.technet.com/b/lobapps/archive/2011/05/03/issues-with-sap-tools-during-migration-unicode-conversion.aspx | dclm-gs1-069340001 | false | false | {

I lost about a third of my lower right leg, but so far everything else is clear. I don't know if this helped you at all, but I will pray for you tonight.</p> Thu, 24 Oct 2002 05:46:58 +0000 robynp comment 501637 at RE: Newly diagnosed <p>Hi Cher,<br /> I'm Sandi, I was just had a mole on my chest tested from a dermatologist, it's malignant melanoma 0.3mm thick. I went last week to a Plastic surgeon and had a larger area around the mole removed and had a graft of skin from the groin to cover the large area. It was in and out of the hospital. I'm recovering, chest is very tight, can't drive for 3 weeks, can't lift anything. </p> <p>I made an appointment to talk to an oncologist Aug. 9th. My doctor says he got all the edges...pathology is But I had neighbors who had it and are gone. Bob had it on his heal of his foot, and the other person had a small red blister by her vagina. They were told they got it all. Later they found more and had chemo and radiation but it spread rapidly and was too late. This cancer is very agressive...<br /> It spreads to bone, liver, lungs, Brain and lymph nodes. So far my chest is clear, and CBC on blood is good....great news..</p> <p>So I'm taking charge and going to have more tests done by a oncologist...and ask lots of questions and see if it's anywhere else on my body..... No one is our family ever had melanoma. Breast cancer by my Mother and her Mother who pasted away at age 70. My Dad had bladder cancer at age 60, they told us he would died in a week, they removed the tumor and he is still living at age 82. Yesterday we celebrated his birthday. </p> <p>I know how scared you are, so am I. I have two girl's, ages 32 and 22. I just turned 55 years old and a grandmother with a 8 year old grandson and waiting any day for<br /> identical twin girls to be born... </p> <p>I'm too busy with family, I'm the one they all turn to. It's hard being strong... I have to keep fighting, have courage, strength and pray. I have asthma and severe allergies with foods, grasses, trees, etc.. I just found a lump in my mouth on Sunday, I hope it's the allergies again, it's happened before...never a dull moment with my little body...</p> <p>Good luck to both of us...let you know how my appointment August 9th with oncologist comes out. What's next????</p> <p>Smile, Smile, Smile, take one day at a time...enjoy your family do the things you like to do, and stay busy... I have an aunt who is going to be 102 years old and is still having a good life...see I have a long way to catch up with her.<br /> Best Wishes</p> Thu, 01 Aug 2002 17:10:13 +0000 happyme comment 501636 at RE: Newly diagnosed <p>Sempcom:<br /> It sucks.... there are no other words for it. It is unfair and totally wrong. Our only crime is enjoying the outdoors. You would think that there would be more knowledge of detection and treatment in the medical world, but there isn't. It's not a money maker, yet.<br /> This is the one case in life where you have to do for yourself, totally. You have to search and find the finest minds in the medical industry concerning this disease. You have to question every doctors' recommendation, once, twice, three times, if neccessary. You have to be like a 3 year old and constantly ask why of the doctors choices for your treatment. Do not take, "that's how we do it" or "I don't know" for an answer. Seek clinical trials, now, before starting any treatment that would jepordize eligibility of a trial.<br /> You've been knocked down, now get up and get to work and save your life and GOD be with you.</p> Fri, 12 Jul 2002 14:52:49 +0000 rlavery comment 501635 at RE: Newly diagnosed <p>I was just diagnosed with Advanced stages of Melanoma also. It's been 2 weeks for me and I am having a hard time talking about it. I get so tired when I have to even think about telling people. I had this " thing " on my leg for 3+ years and finally had it removed. I have always felt healthy, but since I was diagnosed.. Now I feel sick.. Treatment hasnt started yet.</p> Thu, 11 Jul 2002 22:14:39 +0000 sempcom comment 501634 at RE: Newly diagnosed <p>Nothing you are feeling is unusual. It is alot to comprehend at first and with tiime and information, you can get a handle on all of it. Arm yourself with as much info as you can find. The more you know, the less you have to be frightened about. There is a great website...type in MPIP and hit go. It is a melanoma patient info page and is full of people who are also in the same boat. You can read what they are going through and ask all the questions you want. Someone will have an answer or will point you in the right direction to find the answer. I am Stage 2b and keeping my fingers crossed. Give yourself time too and ......most important of all....say your prayers. Find a good oncologist and derm and go from there. Good luck and God bless.</p> <p>Cathy</p> Tue, 09 Jul 2002 12:29:41 +0000 auntcathy comment 501633 at RE: Newly diagnosed <p>The fear is absolutely horrible. You may indeed be in denial at this point. In some ways, it might be easier for you. Stage 4 sounds like it is questionable, unless it has spread to other areas. Mine had spread to the regional lymph nodes, but my oncologist only labeled me as late Stage 3 or early Stage 4. Hopefully, yours hasn't gone that far. I'm so sorry you're having to go through this. The sudden realization that you have cancer is bad enough, but melanoma can be devastating. I was first diagnosed about 4 years ago. They removed the mole and then did the margin excision. I was told they had gotten it all, but within 9 months it had appeared in my lymph nodes. I'm almost 3 years out from that recurrence, but the odds are not in my favor. I was unable to take the Interferon therapy because it affected my liver to the point of almost causing liver failure. That's not the normal reaction for most people, though. My liver was already damaged by a hepatitis earlier. I'm rambling...sorry. It might actually help you to talk to someone about your melanoma. If you have really close friends who really listen, that could be good. Also, a minister or counselor might be helpful. You need a strong support system to handle this. I hope you find the support you need. Try to take it one day at a time. That's easier said than done, but it does help, and it does get easier with a little time. God bless you, and I wish you well.</p> Mon, 08 Jul 2002 04:05:40 +0000 inkognita comment 501632 at | http://csn.cancer.org/crss/node/138155 | dclm-gs1-069430001 | false | true | {

Why is it that items in my inventory are occasionally highlighted as shown below?
This happens for items of any rarity, as far as I can tell. What does it mean?

Newly picked up items are highlighted in your inventory. After picking up a new item, it will stay highlighted until:
• You mouse over them in your inventory
• Approximately 2 minutes passes after opening you inventory
Simply opening/closing your inventory does not change their highlighted-ness, but items will not de-highlight until you open your inventory. I.e. the 2 minutes do not start until you see the "sunburst" around the item when you open your inventory
Stackable items will also be highlighted in both your inventory and stash when a new stack is formed/updated. For example, if I have one Topaz in my stash and one in my inventory and I right click one of them, the newly formed stack of 2 Topazes will be highlighted wherever it ends up.
Splitting a stack will only highlight the newly placed stack, but most of the time you will have your mouse over it anyway. If you place the new stack and then move the mouse away quickly, the stack will be highlighted.
All item highlights will be cleared upon leaving a game.

These are new items that you've picked up since the last time you've opened your inventory.

Default tips when fighting a tia
ok, if you are reading this you are playing an eir right? tias get annoying REALLY annoying. i wrote this so some people might have a better idea of how to fight a tia
ok so hint 1 is
when a tia uses slide (>>S) you get stuck inside the chain. usually after the slide, they do a combo such as >>s aass (skill) on average a lv40-50 tia hits 20-35dmg each hit, which is 3 hits for the slide, 2 hits for the first "a" then 3 hits for the other 3 keys. thats about 160-280hp lost! so after she uses slide there is about a 0.05second delay before the next hit hits. you can use dodge to cancel the chain. so >>S - cancel with dodge - if your dodge is lv5 or higher you can turn around and do a combo eg: ">>S"-cancel with dodge- *turn around* aa shift aaaa>>as shout>>as blah blah
hint 2 is
dont use moonbind in the open, only use it if your gonna cancel it, or if its lv4 and your sure its going to hit both times. if you completely miss and didnt cancel it, you can get killed easily
hint 3 is
you know how annoying it is when they knock you down then they hold down S waiting for you to get up and as soon as you get up they let go and you get stunned and b4 u know it your in a combo again? well some ways to get out of this is
1: counterattack (a) then dash backwards to cancel, so then the tia is stuck in that position for like 0.7 seconds (enough time to run to a safe distance)
2: counterattack (a) then use a skill to cancel the animation eg: (A) dodge <cancel> this will cause the tia to dash into the dodge lol i think
last hint is
if you think your going to escape by running away slowly (lol), if you are fighting a really good tia then you might get backstab-ed while u are escaping. dont run away, just try to avoid her melee
thats all folks lol | http://ggftw.com/forum/483637-post1.html | dclm-gs1-069590001 | false | false | {

An important aim of a database system is to guarantee database consistency, which means that the data contained in a database is both accurate and valid. Integrity constraints represent knowledge about data with which a database must be consistent. The process of checking constraints to ensure that update operations or transactions which alter the database will preserve its consistency has proved to be extremely difficult to implement, particularly in distributed and parallel databases. In distributed databases the aim of the constraint checking is to reduce the amount of data needing to be accessed, the number of sites involved and the amount of data transferred across the network. In parallel databases the focus is on the total execution time taken in checking the constraints. This paper highlights the differences between centralized, distributed and parallel databases with respect to constraint checking

0.207599 | <urn:uuid:52c7ae78-78e7-40bd-8728-00b2c6492f8b> | en | 0.955833 | Washington, DC (NAPSI) - Many Americans are asking their representatives what’s being done about a well-intentioned health care cost-cutting program that’s actually having the opposite effect.
The Problem
The program, called 340B, is now used by many hospitals to get discounts on medicines for insured patients. The hospitals then pocket the difference—unfortunately, they are not required to pass on savings to patients—and use it to fund executive salaries and other unintended uses. As the Affordable Care Act expands Medicaid eligibility, more patients on Medicaid will mean more hospitals are eligible for discounts.
Additionally, some hospitals with the benefit of 340B discounts are buying up—or partnering with—private clinics, which would not on their own qualify for discounts.
According to The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), this drives up the cost of care. For example, JAMA says, the widening disparity in drug revenue between 340B and non-340B hospitals shifts patients out of the comfort of a private clinic setting and into the hospital setting, where care is typically more expensive than the same care delivered in the physician’s office. The net result is an overall increase in health care spending.
What’s more, 340B hospitals are now allowed to contract with for-profit pharmacies in order to sell discounted medicines at full price to patients.

Book a Flight To: St. Lucia
Stay At:
The Still Beach House
We dieeee over the beach at The Still Beach House.
Though this island of friendly people and gorgeous beaches has recently seen an influx of tourism, it maintains a sense of unspoiled, exotic beauty that gives it great appeal for a romantic getaway. The Still Beach House, along Soufriere Bay, is a quaint, budget-friendly inn perfect for penny pinchers. There's little in the way of amenities - in fact, the only extras are direct access to a public beach (that's, by the way, totally gorgeous) and a breezy restaurant and bar - but adventurous couples will find the hotel's location exceptional and its accommodations satisfactory. Not only does the inn offers incredible views of Petit Piton - which appears at arm's length from every room's private balcony - the landmark is also within walking distance of Soufriere, so there's lots of local flavor to be found. And with just five rooms, Still Beach guarantees newlyweds peace and quiet.
Book a Flight To: Barbados
Stay At: The Atlantis Hotel
The exposed stone walls and bright accents add to the Skeetes Bay Room's romantic, airy vibe.
Barbados on a budget? We admit it's no easy feat on this gorgeous - and expensive - island, but if you have your heart set on a Barbadian honeymoon, there are ways to make it work. First off, skip the ritzy Western side of the island and opt for the Eastern edge instead. Sure, it's a bit windier and the waves are choppier, but its beaches are arguably just as beautiful and is home to attractions such as the Andromeda Botanical Gardens and world-famous golf courses. Also, make sure to book your stay at The Atlantis Hotel. The historic property re-opened in 2009 and offers only eight rooms - and they are some of the most romantic we've seen on the island, complete with canopy beds, exposed stone walls, marble bathrooms, and modern amenities. The beach is more suitable for surfing than swimming, but with a small pool with ocean views, and an indoor/outdoor restaurant that's popular among guests and locals, the Atlantis is a budget-friendly property well-suited for a honeymoon.
Book A Flight To: Oahu
Stay At: Kei Iki Bungalows
Looks like this couple may be enjoying a romantic honeymoon -- or anniversary -- at the Ke Iki Beach Bungalows …
Oahu is a beautiful spot for a honeymoon with calm, warm waters, a lively nightlife, and relatively dry weather year-round. Plus, it doesn't hurt that it's generally cheaper to catch a flight here (from both coasts) than taking one to Maui or Kauai. Location trumps luxury at Ke Iki Beach's 11 beachfront bungalows sitting just above the sand on the picturesque North Shore. Sure, the bungalows are modest, amenities are non-existent, and service is minimal, but the Ke Iki Beach Bungalows are just the spot for a couple looking for a laid-back, toes-in-the-sand kind of honeymoon: A beautiful, uncrowded beach is just outside the door of the bungalows - each of which are equipped with full kitchens, hammocks, and grills, making them ideal for a private, post-wedding BBQ. And Oahu's most famous surfing spots and a charming surfer town, Haleiwa, are just down the street.
Book A Flight To: Aruba
Stay At: The Boardwalk Hotel Aruba
The pool at the Boardwalk Hotel Aruba may be small, but colorful loungers and shady greenery gives it a secluded, …
Located outside the Caribbean's hurricane belt, the flat desert island of Aruba remains at an average 82 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year (with mostly rain free days, to boot). Though restaurants on the island can be expensive due to its importing of food, there are numerous wallet-friendly resorts and hotels, and honeymooners can even try their hand at winning some cash at the casinos for a possible upgrade. For couples in search of a truly intimate boutique experience in Aruba, the Boardwalk Hotel - owned by a set of Belgian twins - is an excellent mid-range choice. This peaceful 13-room property, tucked behind three massive Marriott properties and situated on a former coconut plantation, remains an oasis of calm and romance. The rooms - more like apartments - are spacious and bright with fully equipped kitchens, fine linens, and private patios. Snorkel gear is provided free to guests, as are beach towels, coolers, chairs and umbrellas, so you and your honey can hit the beach (within walking distance) and relax on the sand.
Book A Flight To: Jamaica
Stay At: Jake's
Petal-covered canopy bed? Check.
Beyond the nonstop all-inclusive booze-fest - which can be fun - there's a different Jamaica: brilliant reggae, jerk chicken from an oil-drum pan, rugged cliffs, blue lagoons, and overwhelmingly pleasant locals. Direct flights to Kingston and Montego Bay can easily be found from most major U.S. cities, and the island has numerous value hotels to boot. One of our favorites for a honeymoon is Jake's. Made up of just 30 hippy-chic cottages in secluded Treasure Beach, Jake's is one of Jamaica's most romantic hotels. Guests come to unplug - there's no phone, Internet, or TV in the cottages, but each has its own, unique design with sexy touches such as canopy beds, fresh flowers, hardwood floors, and breezy balconies. Given its gorgeous Driftwood Spa, painting and yoga classes, and excellent food, it's a superb value and a laid-back spot for some newly-wed R&R. | http://shine.yahoo.com/love-sex/super-savvy-honeymoons-romantic-trips-wont-break-bank-141100074.html | dclm-gs1-070140001 | false | false | {

As you say, better generators cost more, and the power they generate is significantly more expensive than grid power. You would need to have a lot of power outages and spoiled food in order to break even on the cost during the usable lifetime of the generator.
A $2-3k generator and the cost of instillation is about 30% of the equipment costs of a solar installation, and the equipment is getting cheaper all the time (labor costs are flat or increasing). And a solar installation will pay for itself half way through it's warranted lifetime (about 1/3 of the way through it's usable lifetime).

Yeah they would. Imagine perfect, zipper-like merging at highway speeds, and merging into a single lane to route around accidents, road work, or freight. The cars can all break and accelerate as one, and cars with equal acceleration/deceleration would be grouped together.
There is no lack of capacity on American highways. We could even reduce the number of lanes in each direction to two if everyone had driver-less cars.

I took a solar installer class, and learned that it's usually not cost effective to retrofit a house. Few houses have the proper size roof at the right angle to maximize efficiency. If there are trees in the way you can't cut down, just forget it.
but lets assume you want to find out anyway. well, you first need to look at how much power you use, because it will impact the size of installation you'd need. add up everything that draws electricity in the house. You'll probably find you need a much bigger array than you have roof space.
Now, that will be the size of the array at optimum efficiency. you'll have to subtract out all the efficiency losses for incorrect angle and shade, and add extra panels in order to get you back up to your needs.
I'm assuming you need certified installers in Floria because of the hurricanes, plus you'll need to get an electrician to install the inverter and breaker boxes, and probably a second electrician from the electric company to wire it up to the grid. If Floria has installation rebates, you'll need to do everything up and up in order to get your rebate.
So, first thing first: find a way to reduce your power draw by at least 1/3. it'll start saving you money now, plus you'll need a smaller array if you do commit to installation. it's much cheaper to start with efficient appliances and adequate insulation than it is to overcome it with more solar panels. Panels are getting cheaper, but labor costs are at least half of the costs. and while equipment costs go down, labor costs are flat or rising. If you build a house, build it with solar in mind and you'll save a ton of money up front, and you'll break even much much sooner.

Electric engines would either use solar panels or RTG for power, not batteries. Hell, they'd use fuel cells before they used batteries. any of these options are much much lighter than normal fuel, but even if they were equal for certain sized payloads, electric engines are much more efficient, so as payload mass increases, fuel mass scales at a much smaller rate.

The vineyard should yield a hundred cases a year. "Walsh Wine sounds kind of flat." says Geri, who is ready to start designing a label. "We'll have to think of another name."
It is tradition on game days that anyone can join the Stanford players as they walk the quarter mile from Encina Gym, where they dress, to Stanford Stadium. Before the Arizona game, as the helmeted, scarlet-and-white-clad athletes passed adoring kids and tailgating families, they seemed suspended a finger's breadth above the earth. Perhaps it was just that they wore long cleats. You found yourself with Keena Turner and Wilson, both former 49ers, both brand-new Stanford assistant coaches.
"A lot of people were upset at Bill hiring us without coaching experience," said Turner. "But it's just a case of his vision, nothing new. It's like back in '82 when he put in three rookie defensive backs, and we won it all.
"The fun did leave for him near the end with the 49ers," continued Turner, who kept in touch with Walsh. "I just felt it was so stupid, considering what we'd been through together, to feel any reason we couldn't be lifetime friends."
Some hours later, well after the game, linebacker Ron George, an All-America candidate, is one of the last players to make the long walk back. He will not hear any listing of reasons why Stanford was at a disadvantage in the game.
"If you believe, as a player," he says in a fine wild rush, "that Arizona was fresher because they had a week off, or that we were down after playing Notre Dame and UCLA, you begin to look for excuses, and then you forget the inner element that got us here. What's hard is asking yourself, as I often do, What do I play for? A lot of the reason is in playing well, and a lot is in the win. When you don't get the prize.... I mean, it's a fleeting prize at best. How long does it last, an evening? So you honestly think, Why am I doing this? As long as I've played, I always forget that I will be eager again by next Monday."
The fans have thinned. "You want every fan to be as consumed by the fire of the game as you are," says George, "and of course not all of the fans at Stanford are. There are a lot of other fires here."
Thirty yards ahead, Bill and Geri Walsh walk hand in hand, apparently wordless, their privacy intact. You ask George, this fount of honesty, how Walsh is doing. "We don't talk about the coaches much," he says. "But for some reason, some players sat last week and tried to figure how much of our going 5-1 was us and how much was them. We took a lot of credit, sure, but we had to admit that Coach Walsh is a teacher at many levels. Of coaches, of players, of the community. Look, all our players got here because we had a thirst for the game. So Coach Walsh stays excited with us because he's excited about teaching. I mean, what's hard about seeing that?"

Number of Leagues
Number of Teams
1955 (July)
*Most minor leagues suspended play during World War II. 1943 marked the lowest point.
Minor league baseball in Portsmouth, Va., is largely the care and responsibility of the portly, graying grandfather pictured on the left. His name is Frank Dudley Lawrence. He is a banker, the founder and president of Portsmouth's American National Bank, the largest and oldest surviving bank in the city. He is a businessman, with interests in several profitable concerns in Portsmouth. He is in the truest sense of the phrase a public-spirited citizen, with an abiding love for the city of Portsmouth. He was born there 64 years ago. His grandfather was mayor. He himself served for years on the city council. He married twice, fathered seven children, founded his bank at the age of 27 and fostered its growth to the point where it was largely responsible for the prevention of a bank panic in Portsmouth during the bank-failure years of the depression.
Yet, for all of this, for all the crowded detail of his years, the great passion of Frank Lawrence's life is baseball. He has been in it off and on since 1907, the year he graduated from high school, the year he began his banking career as a runner at $5 a week. That year he took over the program concession for the Portsmouth club in the old Virginia League and made himself $300. Now, almost 50 years later, he likes to say that this was the only money he ever made from baseball.
"We just don't make money in the minor leagues," said President Harold O. Totten of the storied Three-I League in Cedar Rapids, Ia. last week.
In the years that followed, Lawrence organized and managed a semipro team, became part owner and then sole owner of the Portsmouth Truckers, sold Pie Traynor and Hack Wilson to the major leagues, became the friend of John McGraw, Connie Mack, Kennesaw Mountain Landis and other high men in baseball and, in 1928, was the bitter and disillusioned owner of a defunct franchise in a defunct league, as the Virginia League folded and died in the advent of the great depression.
Lawrence at 37 withdrew from baseball, burned his books, his papers, his pictures, kept nothing that reminded him of his baseball past except two photographs—one of his old semipro team and the other of Judge Landis—and his memories, which he could not burn. Seven years later, with the revival of baseball after the depression, Lawrence almost inevitably found himself back in the game as owner of the newly organized Portsmouth Cubs in the Piedmont League.
This is his 21st consecutive season in the Piedmont League. The makeup of the league bas changed, the name of his team has changed, the entire outlook of the minor leagues has changed. The constant growth of the late 30s and the boom years of the late 40s have given way to a steady, precipitous decline in attendance and gate receipts.
Two weeks ago the neighboring Norfolk Tars dropped out of the Piedmont League. Norfolk (the largest city in the league) had won four consecutive Piedmont pennants and just last year led in season's attendance with 130,000 ( Portsmouth had 45,000). Nevertheless, Norfolk lost money; rumors said $100,000 in four years. Frank Lawrence obtained six players from Norfolk's roster, licked his wounds and carried on.
Here are the problems facing Frank Lawrence. His team, which has seldom finished out of the first division in its 20 years in the Piedmont League, has been a dull, dispirited seventh. His attendance is low (last year's 45,000 was the lowest ever). And though his gate receipts have dropped—even in the face of an inflated currency—to the dollar levels of the mid-30s, his operating expenses have not, despite their stark simplicity.
Where a big league club's management and service roster may run to 500 people—including directors, comptrollers, accountants, doctors, lawyers, groundkeepers, cleaners and ushers—Lawrence runs the Portsmouth Merrimacs with a crew of a dozen. Lawrence is president and treasurer, his wife is vice president, his sister is secretary. Ticket sales at the park are supervised by a personal friend, J. S. Pitchford, who is helped in the booths and at the gates by a handful of friends and acquaintances. The city-owned Portsmouth Stadium is supervised and maintained by Lewis Brown, a city employee, and two helpers. These three men mow, water and rake the grass, mark base lines and coaches' and batters' boxes, clean out the stands after games, take care of the press box, the dugouts, the clubhouses and the rest rooms. Occasionally, they are obliged to meet other problems. Two weeks ago an automobile careened down a street outside the stadium in the early hours of the morning, crashed through the poured-concrete wall in right field, skidded across the outfield grass and came to a gentle stop near second base. Nobody was hurt, but a temporary barrier had to be erected over the hole in the fence and the tire tracks had to be raked down and smoothed out.

Is there a keyboard shortcut that allows you to easily change Build Configuration (say, from Debug to Release) in Visual Studio (2008)?
In the Standard Toolbar there is a drop-down where one can easily change between Build Configurations, but I only know how to access it with my mouse.
Is there an easy way this can be done via the keyboard?

You can set up a key combo through the Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard dialog. The Build.SolutionConfigurations command will put your focus on the build configuration drop down so you can easily change the configuration with the arrow keys. Additionally the Build.SolutionPlatforms selects the Platform drop down. The only drawback is that focus will be taken away from whatever was previously selected.

Just for the record, it's actually not that hard to use the standard keyboard mappings for the Configuration Manager dialog:
Alt+B, O, (Arrow keys or first letter, e.g. D(ebug) or R(elease)), Enter
The dialog box pops up fairly quickly, so this works for me.

It doesn't seem there are, but you can set a key command (Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard) for Build.ConfigurationManager, which will open a dialogue box that you can use the cursor keys to navigate quickly.
You could also set up a macro (similar to this) and bind that to a hot key.

I'm currently a little confused about microdata and schema.org. Is microdata and schema.org the same? I read the Google and Microsoft documentation, but that didn't helped me to get the difference between this two names.
So far I understood this I have produced this HTML code:
<span itemscope itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Breadcrumb">
<a href="/" itemprop="url"><span itemprop="title">My Page</span></a>
<a href="/cat1" itemprop="url"><span itemprop="title">Category 1</span></a>
<a href="/cat1/content" itemprop="url"><span itemprop="title">Content</span></a>
In my opinion too much overhead but okay if the search results look nice. Is it possible to reduce the count of html code?
Also if I don't need that how does the search engines detect two different trails?
My next problem is that I want to apply this format to the drupal breadcrumps. I found on the web this fix which I tried to include to my own SEO module like this:
function mymod_page_alter(&$variables) {
if (!isset($variables['breadcrumb'])) {
$variables['breadcrumb'] = theme('my_microdata', array('breadcrumb' => drupal_get_breadcrumb()));
function mymod_theme($existing, $type, $theme, $path) {
return array(
'my_microdata' => array(
'variables' => array('breadcrumb' =>array()),
function mymod_menu_breadcrumb_alter(&$active_trail, $item){
foreach($active_trail as $id=>$active_trail_item){
function theme_my_microdata($variables){
if (!empty($breadcrumb)) {
// Provide a navigational heading to give context for breadcrumb links to
// screen-reader users. Make the heading invisible with .element-invisible.
$output = '<h2 class="element-invisible">' . t('You are here') . '</h2>';
$output .= '<div class="breadcrumb">';
foreach($breadcrumb as $breadcrumb_item){
$output.='<span typeof="datav:Breadcrumb">'.$separator.$breadcrumb_item."</span>";
$output .='</div>';
return $output."xXxXxXx";
So far I checked that all this code is executed. But this theming is not applied on my page. Why does that code not work? Could this been related with the module breadcrumb? I know that this output will be garbage but I cannot see the result.
If I guess right than is the output created by theme.inc line 1682ff theme_breadcrumb(...)instead of my code.
It would be nice if somebody could help me, also if you don’t know all answers of my questions!

Is microdata and schema.org the same?
No they are not!
Microdata is a WHATWG html specification. It's supose to make it easier for computers to read the content of the document.
Schema.org is a vocabulary that is used to describe an item. Schema.org is introduced by Bing, Google and Yahoo.
Is it possible to reduce the count of html code?
Have a look at the exemple code at schema.org for the markup of a WebPage item: http://schema.org/WebPage
<body itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/WebPage">
<div itemprop="breadcrumb">
How does the search engines detect two different trails
If you use the above example from schema.org instead you mark up a trail instead of individual links. If you mark up two trails they will both be recognized as two individual ones. (Or at least should be)
Why does that code not work?
I think this question should be separated from this post and asked in a different one. I'm not familiar with drupal and some of the people that can answer questions regarding microdata don't even know PHP.

It's more likely google understands breadcrumbs in means that is not publicly shared. – Erik Landvall May 2 '12 at 5:34

I am migrating Telerik ASP.net MVC to Kendo ASP.net MVC. In Telerik MVC I bounded column with an object in array and specified object type in Bound call and all worked perfectly.
columns.Bound(field.EntityFieldType, field.EntityFieldName).Title(field.DisplayName).Template(g =>
{<%= g.GetValue(field.EntityFieldId)%>}).Width(field.Width);
But using Kendo MemberType is ignored and remains null. Is there a different way how I can set a MemberType in Kendo? Or if Kendo uses only Data Schema for column data types then how I can update schema in runtime?

It seems that Telerik is deprecating usage of Type in Bound call and uses DataSource Schema Model instead. I solved my problem by clearing Model Schema before I bound any columns.
And then after each bound column I added a new entry in Model Field List. As my field names contains dot (.) I need to put Field Name in Quotation marks, so that generate JSon is correct.
ModelFieldDescriptor modelField = new ModelFieldDescriptor();
modelField.Member = "\"" + field.EntityFieldName + "\"";
modelField.MemberType = field.EntityFieldType;
modelField.DefaultValue = null;
modelField.IsEditable = false;

This question is in regards to the standard list of timezones in the tzinfo aka Olson Timezone Database.
example 1: I have noticed that America/New_York or America/Detroit (known as "exemplar cities", see http://www.w3.org/International/docs/timezones/#tzids) are used instead of US/Eastern.
example 2: In Canada the Mountain timezone is usually described as America/Edmonton instead of Canada/Mountain. There are parts of British Columbia that are on Mountain Time, yet their timezone is specified as America/Edmonton (which is in Alberta).
In these cases, why would the region/exemplar city option be used instead of the country/zone version? There must have been a reason that the country/zone version was created in the first place, but why is it there if it isn't the preferred way?
This is mostly an issue when a country has more than one timezone.
Is there a best practices somewhere that says why one is preferred over the other?
(P.S. this is a difficult issue to Google for, as you get all un-related or unhelpful results. The closest thing I could find was Daylight saving time and Timezone best practices but it did not have this issue addressed.)
EDIT: can 2 timezone be for 1 city? there is "Since not everyone uses the canonical Continent/City notation for their time zone (I tend to use the older US/Pacific notation, for instance - which is still supported, but is equivalent to America/Los_Angeles)." His assertion that "US/Pacific" is older contradicts my indirect assumption that it was newer, but still not the answer.

The Theory file distributed with the Olson database contains the information:
Names of time zone rule files
• Indicate to humans as to where that region is. This simplifes [sic] use.
• Be robust in the presence of political changes. This reduces the number of updates and backward-compatibility hacks. For example, names of countries are ordinarily not used, to avoid incompatibilities when countries change their name (e.g. Zaire⟶Congo) or when locations change countries (e.g. Hong Kong from UK colony to China).
• Be portable to a wide variety of implementations. This promotes use of the technology.
• Use only valid POSIX file name components (i.e., the parts of names other than '/'). Within a file name component, use only ASCII letters, '.', '-' and '_'. Do not use digits, as that might create an ambiguity with POSIX TZ strings. A file name component must not exceed 14 characters or start with '-'. E.g., prefer 'Brunei' to 'Bandar_Seri_Begawan'.
• Include at least one location per time zone rule set per country. One such location is enough. Use ISO 3166 (see the file iso3166.tab) to help decide whether something is a country. However, uninhabited ISO 3166 regions like Bouvet Island do not need locations, since local time is not defined there.
• If a name is ambiguous, use a less ambiguous alternative; e.g. many cities are named San Jose and Georgetown, so prefer 'Costa_Rica' to 'San_Jose' and 'Guyana' to `Georgetown'.
• Keep locations compact. Use cities or small islands, not countries or regions, so that any future time zone changes do not split locations into different time zones. E.g. prefer 'Paris' to 'France', since France has had multiple time zones.
• Use mainstream English spelling, e.g. prefer 'Rome' to 'Roma', and prefer 'Athens' to the true name (which uses Greek letters). The POSIX file name restrictions encourage this rule.
• Use the most populous among locations in a country's time zone, e.g. prefer 'Shanghai' to 'Beijing'. Among locations with similar populations, pick the best-known location, e.g. prefer 'Rome' to 'Milan'.
• Use the singular form, e.g. prefer 'Canary' to 'Canaries'.
• Omit common suffixes like '_Islands' and '_City', unless that would lead to ambiguity. E.g. prefer 'Cayman' to 'Cayman_Islands' and 'Guatemala' to 'Guatemala_City', but prefer 'Mexico_City' to 'Mexico' because the country of Mexico has several time zones.
• Use '_' to represent a space.
• Omit '.' from abbreviations in names, e.g. prefer 'St_Helena' to 'St._Helena'.
• Do not change established names if they only marginally violate the above rules. For example, don't change the existing name 'Rome' to 'Milan' merely because Milan's population has grown to be somewhat greater than Rome's.
• If a name is changed, put its old spelling in the backward file.
Note that there has been recent controversy (August 2012) on the tz@iana.org mailing list about the 'Shanghai in preference to Beijing' guideline.

This is great, but it'd be nice to know why is city used? Is that because a city may currently be the same timezone as a region but may not always be or have been? – Juan Mendes Aug 17 '12 at 19:53
It's because region names change even more than country names. – Jonathan Leffler Aug 17 '12 at 19:59
Some Cities, Counties and States politically choose to not follow the rules. Indiana is an example of this. – FrankComputerAtYmailDotCom Aug 20 '12 at 3:09
Great information, Jonathan. It unfortunately doesn't say anything about these "US/Eastern" etc. and how they even came into existence. They make a lot of sense in my mind (moreso than the "America/New_York" variety) in countries of multiple timezones, but they do seem to violate the guidelines you have reproduced here so one wonders how they came to be. – Pixel Aug 20 '12 at 15:29
@Pixel: The US/Eastern style names were an older variation of the naming convention, used before the one described above was put in place. That change was made quite a long time ago now (1990s, if not 1980s). The US/Eastern etc names still exist in the backward file referred to in the notes above; it is a link to America/New_York. – Jonathan Leffler Aug 20 '12 at 15:56

I'm new to meta-pc assembler and I need help with reversing some function. Here is function, which I need to reserve:
public function
var_80 = byte ptr -80h
arg_0 = dword ptr 8
arg_4 = dword ptr 0Ch
push ebp
mov ebp, esp
and esp, 0FFFFFFF8h
sub esp, 80h
mov eax, [ebp+arg_4]
cmp eax, 80h
push esi
push edi
jl short loc_100032DD
mov eax, 7Fh
loc_100032DD: ; CODE XREF: c4atoi+16j
mov esi, [ebp+arg_0]
mov ecx, eax
mov edx, ecx
shr ecx, 2
lea edi, [esp+88h+var_80]
rep movsd
mov ecx, edx
and ecx, 3
rep movsb
mov [esp+eax+88h+var_80], 0
lea eax, [esp+88h+var_80]
push eax ; char *
call j__atol
add esp, 4
pop edi
pop esi
mov esp, ebp
pop ebp
retn 8
function endp
So, I need to get number and type of function parameters and returned type. How could I get it ?

When you say type, what do you mean? I see a comment about char *, which I think means you want C-types. – Rawrgulmuffins Aug 17 '12 at 18:33
arg_4 is an integer describing the length of a string, arg_0 is a pointer to that string. I can't really tell what it returns, since j__atol makes the return value. By the name/looks of it though it's going to return an int, probably the integer representation of the input string. – harold Aug 17 '12 at 18:36

That function is a code to convert a string to an integer based on reference to a call to j__atol function and the atol function. Function details:
Calling convention:
First parameter (arg_0):
Address of a null terminated string.
Second parameter (arg_4):
Length of specified string. Only the first 127 characters are processed.
Return value:
EAX register.

So, number of arg_ is number of arguments, right ? But how can I get type of parameters and returned type ? arg_0 is dword, what means it's 4 bytes long, so I'm a little bit puzzled... – Kuci Aug 17 '12 at 19:08
The N in arg_N is a relative offset in the current stack frame (EBP+N). N is (should be) in multiple of 4 bytes for 32-bit code, starting from zero (the first argument). You need to understand how the function interpret the arguments. Since it calls atol you can look it up in a function reference to find out its arguments and their types. Kind of back-tracking. – Jay Aug 17 '12 at 19:18

OK, so here is the deal.
In my language I have some commands, say
XYZ 3 5
GGB 8 9
HDH 8783 33
And in my Lex file
XYZ { return XYZ; }
GGB { return GGB; }
HDH { return HDH; }
[0-9]+ { yylval.ival = atoi(yytext); return NUMBER; }
\n { return EOL; }
In my yacc file
start : commands
commands : command
| command EOL commands
command : xyz
| ggb
| hdh
xyz : XYZ NUMBER NUMBER { /* Do something with the numbers */ }
etc. etc. etc. etc.
My question is, how can I get the entire text
XYZ 3 5
GGB 8 9
HDH 8783 33
Into commands while still returning the NUMBERs?
Also when my Lex returns a STRING [0-9a-zA-Z]+, and I want to do verification on it's length, should I do it like
rule: STRING STRING { if (strlen($1) < 5 ) /* Do some shit else error */ }
or actually have a token in my Lex that returns different tokens depending on length?

If I've understood your first question correctly, you can have semantic actions like
{ $$ = makeXYZ($2, $3); }
which will allow you to build the value of command as you want.
For your second question, the borders between lexical analysis and grammatical analysis and between grammatical analysis and semantic analysis aren't hard and well fixed. Moving them is a trade-off between factors like easiness of description, clarity of error messages and robustness in presence of errors. Considering the verification of string length, the likelihood of an error occurring is quite high and the error message if it is handled by returning different terminals for different length will probably be not clear. So if it is possible -- that depend on the grammar -- I'd handle it in the semantic analysis phase, where the message can easily be tailored.

If you arrange for your lexical analyzer (yylex()) to store the whole string in some variable, then your code can access it. The communication with the parser proper will be through the normal mechanisms, but there's nothing that says you can't also have another variable lurking around (probably a file static variable - but beware multithreading) that stores the whole input line before it is dissected.
share|improve this answer
I guess maybe I wasn't that clear, but I have something like HEADER BLOCK1 STUFF BLOCK1END BLOCK2 STUFF BLOCK2END Where BLOCK1 and BLOCK2 match the same rule. What I need is the entire text of BLOCK1 at the time that I match BLOCK1. The simplest, but annoying way, is just to have all of the rules have a value of string, i.e. from my example %type <sval> xyz Then for every rule I would have to put xyz: XYZ NUMBER NUMBER { $$ = "XYZ" + $2 + $3; } Which overtime can get very annoying. – DevDevDev Aug 6 '09 at 17:37

As you use yylval.ival you already have union with ival field in your YACC source, like this:
%union {
int ival;
Now you specify token type, like this:
%token <ival> NUMBER
So now you can access ival field simply for NUMBER token as $1 in your rules, like
xyz : XYZ NUMBER NUMBER { printf("XYZ %d %d", $2, $3); }
For your second question I'd define union like this:
%union {
char* strval;
int ival;
and in you LEX source specify token types
%token <strval> STRING;
%token <ival> NUMBER;
So now you can do things like
foo : STRING NUMBER { printf("%s (len %d) %d", $1, strlen($1), $2); }

I came across a very interesting issue in IE9. When using filter: alpha(opacity=) or -ms-filter css property on a wrapping div the box model of the inner block elements get corrupted. In other words the collapsing of vertical-margin gets disabled and vertical-margin is added instead. I'm facing this issue only in IE9. IE7/8 is not affected.
Here's a jsFiddle with the isolated issue. Use the trigger anchor to activate the class that includes filter: alpha on the wrapping div. (IE9 only)
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks in advance
share|improve this question
Any filter seems to do this ( jsfiddle.net/7BFd7 ). But, the CSS property opacity works in IE9, and doesn't cause the glitch. So, using the filter only in an [if lt IE 9] commented style could be a work around. – Roman Sep 17 '12 at 16:16
Thanks for the quick reply. I already thought about this since I'm using boilerplate in all of my projects. However this behavior is indeed very odd... – travisbotello Sep 17 '12 at 16:27
@Roman It would probably be good to post that as an answer so it can be accepted. – Shauna Sep 17 '12 at 18:08
@user997951 - That's because, IIRC, Microsoft is phasing out the use of filters in favor of the standard CSS stuff (where possible, at least). The filter conflicts with the CSS. I think the filter thing is a known issue (and basically a "working as intended" sort of thing). – Shauna Sep 17 '12 at 18:09

Any filter seems to do this ( jsfiddle.net/7BFd7 ).
I could only hypothesize about why it does that. It seems like using a filter sets the element to use some unknown display or position mode that doesn't do margin collapsing (like position absolute, inline blocks and floated or cleared elements).
anyway.. If you just want to hide that element, you could use visibility: hidden, which has the same effect as opacity: 0 and is supported everywhere.
If you want to animate the opacity, you'll have to do browser sniffing through conditional comments or Normalizr and animate opacity in IE9 and apply the filter in older IE versions.

The Story so far: First, we got one web application and one database for it. Then the product owners decided to make a spinoff of the first application (if the first application was site for clothes, the second site is site dedicated to baby clothes). We made a second database for the second app. And third, forth, n-th after that. I can justify that decision, because the information of the databases did not intersect.
Now: The product owner decided to make a super-application, one application to rule them all. Common story: a user makes a query for some products, and the result must contain aggregated data from different databases (but not all, k from n).
The Question: Is there some common pattern for resolving the common problems which will arise before us?
First approach: Super-database (all database data, copied to one huge database)
• pros: only one query is needed; it is easier to apply sorting or other filtering
• cons: how we will differ the origin database of the items; may be some conflicts of IDs; must perform a time consuming and dangerous copying of information; will not be backward compatible with older applications
Second approach: Same databases (no changes)
• pros: the application will be backward compatible; there will be no dangerous coping
• cons: one query becomes multiple queries(slower, harder to aggregate)

Housing this all in multiple databases is fine since MongoDB (of course) has no JOINs there is no real threat having aggregation problems here. I suppose you could get problems in the future if 10gen releases the ability for subselects within aggregation functions etc to allow a sort of pseudo join of types.
There could be one problem with MRs here if you were to do multiple MRs that output to the same collection but then MRs can output to different DBs now (has been available for a while now) so that's fine.
Also with mulitple databases (in 2.2) the lock will be on your side since the locking mechanics in 2.2 are DB level.
In my personal opinion, taking the problems of copying and conflicting IDs into account, I would stick with what you have got and just make an abstraction layer to make it look like it is coming from one database.
Of course if you feel as though it would be a real logic problem to house it in different databases and you will easily mix up the data then you might have no choice.

This is not an actionscript question at all. You need just an algorithm.
Simple solution: find center of the object and then use any line distance algorithm you can find to check this center point distance to all room edges.
For example this: Shortest distance between a point and a line segment

I would add to this that to be able to check your room and red rectangle you need to store it as collection of points which then you will be able to run through and compare. – Lukasz 'Severiaan' Grela Oct 4 '12 at 11:55

The error is normal when you try git log in a remote repo because they are usually bare repositories. Here is a good explanation.
Now that you've reset --hard the local repo to the correct state, it seems that what you want now is to replicate this state in the remote repo. If so, just force push your branches to the origin.
git push -f origin <branch-name>
Beware that force pushing may cause problems if some people have already pulled the bad revisions from the remote.

It's not clear whether the common class needs to part of a WCF service contract so it can be made available to any client through the WSDL document or if you are trying make the common class accessible to both the WCF service and the WCF client as a standard .NET class.
The only reason to share a standard .NET class between the service and the client is to provide access to shared logic. Otherwise, just mark that class with either DataContract or Serializable to let the service expose the class to the client thru WSDL. Just remember that one of the four tenets of SOA is to share types (WSDL) not classes (.NET assemblies).
Based on the updated question, you can achieve better control over what WCF serializes into soap XML by forcing WCF to use the XmlSerializer instead of the default DataContractSerializer. Also, you may want to decouple the domain model objects from what objects are exposed by the WCF service as discussed in this SO question and answers. This excellent blog post explains the differences between the two serializers and how to force WCF to use the XmlSerializer.
share|improve this answer
MyCommonClass is used in some abstract classes etc, that are not supported by wsdl document (abstract classes are generated in wsdl like standard classes). Furthermore these abstract classes and their derivatives are not used in ServiceOperation method, so they can't be generated in wsdl document though marked as OperationContract – Saint Oct 23 '12 at 20:10
WCF is an abstraction over a message-based client/service architecture. It was not design as a distributed object oriented framework which is why abstract types are not really supported. The approach you're attempting is poorly supported in WCF. Think of WCF as an object oriented abstraction over an XML-based messaging (soap) exchange pattern. You're trying to push an object oriented abstraction through an XML message exchange pattern. – Sixto Saez Oct 24 '12 at 2:49
You don't understood. I know it. I won't push abstract structure over wcf. I need to share some class in common project and I'd like don't serialize this type to wsdl document. I'm looking for such attributes or another way – Saint Oct 24 '12 at 7:28

Use the "background-image" CSS attribute on a block-level element (<div>, <td> etc.) for the background GIF, then place the PNG buttons inside that block element.
Like this:

background-image: url('bitmaps/bg-image.gif');

Each element in a page has a particular stacking order. If you do not set them explicitly then it will be stacked in accordance to the order in DOM.
You can control the stacking order by setting the property
The higher the z-index value goes the higher will be the stacking order for the element.
If you can set the gif image as the background of a cell then
property will be the best one. First set the gif image as a background to the cell and place the png button in the cell and position it inside the cell.

Like other people said - if you want to put images on top of another, then you need z-indexing. Just remember, that z-index only works, if nested elements have position set - absolute or relative (static should not be used for this)

you can control that by position absolute...
the image you want appear on top give it absolute position adjust its left right position and
you aredone.

In this question. we discovered that in .NET 1.1, Array.IndexOf(array, value) searched for an element with
value.Equals(arrayElement) == true
while .NET 2.0 changed it to search for an element with
arrayElement.Equals(value) == true
Obviously the potential difference between the two results arises from polymorphism, but is there any reason why the latter version is preferable? More generally, if I have two objects a and b to compare, is there any good reason to prefer a.Equals(b) or b.Equals(a)?
share|improve this question
== true is my bane. – recursive Aug 28 '09 at 14:20
While I agree with you @recursive, in this context it emphasizes the point of the code snippet. – Austin Salonen Aug 28 '09 at 14:23
I wouldn't write if ( value.Equals(arrayElement) == true ), but as Austin says, the emphasis seemed useful in this case. – stevemegson Aug 28 '09 at 14:26

I guess this is done to avoid problems when you override Equals in object you're feeding into IndexOf. In other words, if you have class Foo with some weird Equals implementation, this:
Foo f = new Foo();
Bar b = arrayOfDateTimes.IndexOf(f);
could potentially disrupt the behavior and yield strange results.
share|improve this answer
But isn't it just as likely that you've got a weird Equals override on the object stored in the array? They seem to be equally risky, but since it's potentially a breaking change it feels like MS should have had a reason to bother changing. – stevemegson Aug 28 '09 at 14:45

Just a guess, but the 1.1 version may have had a higher rate of NullReferenceExceptions compared to the 2.0 version.

By default the JQM (JQueryMobile) loading div tag you can optionally call up is aligned in the center of the page. This is how you call it up:
$.mobile.loadingMessage = 'Doing Something...';
$.mobile.loadingMessageTextVisible = true;
A call to hidePageLoadingMsg() will remove it.
Some info about how the loading icon is created by JQM and displayed can be seen here: How can I style jquery mobile loading spinner
The problem I'm having is getting it to align on the right of the page (or left) in a dynamic resolution independent way.
I can overload the CSS for the loading div:
However adjusting the margins for example are to resolution dependent. What I mean is I can right align it on desktop but it breaks on mobile now.
Any help appreciated.
UPDATE: The full JQM implementation of the loader is here: https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/blob/master/js/widgets/loader.js

I have an interface in c# that helps retrieving of data from a custom archive on server. The interface looks like this:
public interface IRetrieveData
bool OkToRetrieve(SomeData data); // Method in question...
bool RetrieveToLocal(SomeData data);
This interface is implemented by the clients that retrieve the data to the local database. There are different flavors of clients that have access to each others data. So, when the processing component calls IRetrieveData.OkToRetrieve right before actual retrieve, the call goes to the client code where the decision is made on whether the data should be retrieved or not. At this point the client can return false and that piece of data is skipped or return true and the processing component calls RetrieveToLocal and send the data to the client which then processes it.
Where I am getting confused is whether to rename the method "OkToRetrieve" to just "Retrieve" or "CanRetrieve" or leave it as OkToRetrieve.
Does anyone have any suggestion?

I like the is part, but just because it is retrievable doesn't mean it's OK to retrieve it. I would call it isOKToRetrieve – Thomas Owens Sep 3 '09 at 0:26
Absolutely. The "Is" prefix is a coding standard on our team. – Rap Sep 3 '09 at 0:28
ALl I would add TO Ariz' answer, (And this is a nitnoi) is to make a distinction as t oexactly what the function is checking... Is it whether the data IS retrievable, or whether the current code CAN retrieve it, or whether it SHOULD rectrieve it, etc. etc. e.g., if the function is examining the validity of the data and 'authorizing the retrieval when the data passes some set of conditions, then IsComplete() or IsValid, or IsTransactionallyConsistent, or something that describes the nature of the check that is being done to 'pass' might be somewhat more informative. – Charles Bretana Sep 3 '09 at 0:31
@bpayne Uhhh how would you use "Is" for something like shelf.HasProducts() or body.ContainsKnife()? – mxmissile Sep 3 '09 at 0:33
mxmissile: I would call those methods isEmpty() (and, if the shelf has a limit, isFull()) and I would NEVER make a containsKnife() method, but rather a contains() method that accepts a parameter. And yes, contains() is an exception to the is rule. – Thomas Owens Sep 3 '09 at 0:37

I am using ExtJS framework for a widget. I have written a embedd.js script, that asynchronously loads ext-all.js (combined with other javascript). Finally, it attaches a function to be called for Ext.onReady
However, it does not get called at all using this mechanism. If however, I load the all.js and the css in the element of the page, remaining all things being equal, it works.
How do I solve this?
The code can be seen on:

Let's say a I have a class:
case class Foo(id: Int, name: String, note: Option[String] = None)
Both the constructor and the apply method in the automatically generated companion object take three parameters. When viewed via reflection, the third parameter (note) is flagged:
p.isParamWithDefault = true
Also, by inspection I can find the method that produces the value in the companion object:
method <init>$default$3
method apply$default$3
Which both also have:
m.isParamWithDefault = true
However, I can neither find anything on the TermSymbol for the notes parameter that actually points me at the right methods to obtain the default value nor anything on the above MethodSymbols that point back to the TermSymbol for the parameter.
Is there a straight forward way to link TermSymbol for the parameter with the method that generates its default value? Or do I need to do something kludgey like inspect the names of the methods on the companion object?
I'm interested in this both for the case class constructor example I have here and for regular methods.

There are degrees of kludge. Sample code at [this answer.][1] [1]: stackoverflow.com/a/13813000/1296806 – som-snytt Dec 25 '12 at 23:45
Yeah, I've coded something similar to that. But it relies on Scala's name mangling scheme which should be treated as an implementation detail. In fact there a thread on it going on right now: groups.google.com/d/topic/scala-internals/aE81MVdIhCk/… – Erik Engbrecht Dec 25 '12 at 23:51
Yes, also following the thread; my interest stemmed from a PR that needed to go from default args to the method, etc, it's messy interally, let alone externally. But as noted, the form of the mangle is spec'd. – som-snytt Dec 25 '12 at 23:58
If I understand correctly name mangling for default argument methods is specified in the SID for named and default arguments but it is not in the SLS. I'm not sure, but I don't believe SIDs are treated as hard specifications to which the implementation must conform. They're more general design documents. – Erik Engbrecht Dec 26 '12 at 0:35
My answer edit includes both SLS locs. You'd think it would be impl detail. My use case is, I make a dumb exception class with an optional message, I'd hate to generate a companion just for the default arg. Alternative would be to overload the constructor, as you'd normally do by hand. – som-snytt Dec 26 '12 at 1:43

There are degrees of kludge.
Sample code at this answer, pasted below.
So as I was saying, the form of the name is in the spec at 4.6, 6.6.1. That is not ad-hoc. For every parameter pi , j with a default argument a method named f $default$n is generated which computes the default argument expression.
The lack of structured ability to access and reconstitute these generated names is a known issue (with a current thread on the ML).
import reflect._
import scala.reflect.runtime.{ currentMirror => cm }
import scala.reflect.runtime.universe._
// case class instance with default args
// Persons entering this site must be 18 or older, so assume that
case class Person(name: String, age: Int = 18) {
require(age >= 18)
object Test extends App {
// Person may have some default args, or not.
// normally, must Person(name = "Guy")
// we will Person(null, 18)
def newCase[A]()(implicit t: ClassTag[A]): A = {
val claas = cm classSymbol t.runtimeClass
val modul = claas.companionSymbol.asModule
val im = cm reflect (cm reflectModule modul).instance
defaut[A](im, "apply")
def defaut[A](im: InstanceMirror, name: String): A = {
val at = newTermName(name)
val ts = im.symbol.typeSignature
val method = (ts member at).asMethod
// either defarg or default val for type of p
def valueFor(p: Symbol, i: Int): Any = {
val defarg = ts member newTermName(s"$name$$default$$${i+1}")
if (defarg != NoSymbol) {
println(s"default $defarg")
(im reflectMethod defarg.asMethod)()
} else {
println(s"def val for $p")
p.typeSignature match {
case t if t == typeOf[String] => null
case t if t == typeOf[Int] => 0
case x => throw new IllegalArgumentException(x.toString)
val args = (for (ps <- method.paramss; p <- ps) yield p).zipWithIndex map (p => valueFor(p._1,p._2))

You can do this without making assumptions about the generated names—by casting to the internal API:
scala> :power
** Power User mode enabled - BEEP WHIR GYVE **
** :phase has been set to 'typer'. **
** scala.tools.nsc._ has been imported **
** global._, definitions._ also imported **
** Try :help, :vals, power.<tab> **
defined class Foo
scala> val t = typeOf[Foo.type]
t: $r.intp.global.Type = Foo.type
scala> t.declaration(nme.defaultGetterName(nme.CONSTRUCTOR, 3))
res0: $r.intp.global.Symbol = method <init>$default$3
scala> t.declaration(nme.defaultGetterName(newTermName("apply"), 3))
res1: $r.intp.global.Symbol = method apply$default$3
Of course in a way this isn't any nicer, since the name mangling is specified and the internal API isn't, but it may be more convenient.
share|improve this answer
Fixing the encoding for constructor was my doing. Note the anomaly: scala> nme.defaultGetterName(nme.MIXIN_CONSTRUCTOR, 3) is res0: $r.intp.global.TermName = $lessinit$greater$default$3. By anomaly, I mean bug if it mattered. So arguably, it's better to use the implementation-dependent, anomaly-preserving API. – som-snytt Dec 26 '12 at 0:34

I need to find photos on external devices like cameras and mobiles connected as USB pendrive. As I don't want to traverse all disks, I thought of looking for specific folders under root or deeper, e.g. DCIM for cameras and start traverse from there.
For cameras the directory structure is specified in the Design rule for Camera File system (DCF) as always using a DCIM directory at root.
But for different mobile brands I did not find any rules. So can you please help me out and post the directory where your photos are stored in when you're mobile is connected as USB pendrive along with yout mobiles brand?
I'm looking for all major brands, like Nokia, LG, Samsung, Sony Erricson, etc. (IPhone connects as camera under 'camera and scanners', so I need to TWAIN it, but that works...)

Lots of ways to get to the images.
Device specific - Needs lots of hardware to test with. An easily unpalatable app could handle getting new devices supported.
1. Check for known vendor/device id's on USB bus with related info on how to get to data. Some may have proprietary methods for extracting images.
Drive based photos - traverse entire drive makes it future proof, however speed is bad.
1. For each removable drive in system.
2. Check for existence of "known" base folders
• If found, traverse from base folder
• Else, traverse entire drive
TWAIN based photos - not a clue with these
1. Lookup iphone, would this be for capturing new photos, or actually viewing previously captured photos

Thanks for this comment. Driver specific: As I don't have all this HW, I'm asking here, cause nearly every user has a mobile... Driver based photos: Thought of that, but need a way to check from Java if a drive is fixed or connected, is there eny way? But I'll consider traversing the whole drive as an option. TWAIN based: As using Java, when converting Twain images to JPG w/o ImageIO I'm losing all EXIF infos, which I need for the app, but I think as most mobiles do not connect as TWAIN, this is just a fallback for iPhone and such mobiles.

I know this is a hack but you could try something like this and then record (in a DB) the make/model/handset stats in for future.
in Linux (on the command line) (This is an example)
ls /*/*.jpg
This would look under the first level of directories for any file with a .jpg extension.
ls /*/*/*.jpg
For the second directory
Again this is just a hack and really not advised for production, but for testing to get a working path for a device this might come in handy.

This is not very memory efficient but I guess it is what you are looking for:

Read the whole file, replace and write back the whole file.

However, only 1 end point is being shown when I perform "lsusb -v -d 1267:0000" as shown below:

The problem is that there should be a write endpoint that I can send data down, yet only the 0x81 endpoint is showing up which, from my understanding, is a read endpoint (I'm very new to this). Do I need to do something in order be able to access this endpoint?

You either haven't claimed your device (google claiming a device with libusb), you need to run as root, or the device you're dealing with only has one method of report. Yes, that does happen.
On any HID device there are three possible methods of communication: Input, Ouput, and Feature Reports. Depending on the HID descriptor though, your device may only support one. In that case, I'd guess it is only supports Feature reports. Luckily these reports work input and output. (This is the way the DigiSpark is described.)
Maybe none of these options will work, but they're worth a shot!

I am an undergraduate research assistant working on an android accessibility project. My task involves collecting as much data about the user experience as possible, including touch events and other view interactions. I require 2 services: an accessibility service to gather details about the view current interaction, and a TouchListener service that is able to intercept MotionEvents.
My problem is with the TouchListener service. Is there any known way to intercept all touch events and pass them on to the current view?
Essentially, it seems like an invisible system-overlay view is needed to constantly listen for touch events, but the view can either intercept all touch events and NOT pass them to the view behind, or it can pass the even back and register the touch event as an ambiguous ACTION_OUTSIDE event, giving no details about the interaction.
My question is similar to this one, and the obstacle is discussed here. If anyone has found a work-around, please post!

I am doing a simple ajax request to another domain like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('.clik').click(function() {
type: "POST",
url: "http://sub.mydomain.com/test.php",
crossDomain: true,
success: function(data) {
<p class="clik">Halleluja</p>
<p class="txt"></p>
this is the test.php page on sub.mydomain.com
header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://mydomain.com');
// Begin Session
$session = new Session();
$session->start_session('test', false);
// Access Database
$login_db = new Database('user', 'pass', 'accounts', 'test');
$login_pdo = $login_db->PDO;
include "fn.check_login.php";
if(checkLogin($login_pdo) == true) {
// We start out by checking if the request has been made using AJAX
if (is_ajax()) {
echo "this is working";
} else {
echo "this is not working!";
} else {
echo 'You are not authorized to access this page, please login. <br/>';
// Function to check if the request is an AJAX request
function is_ajax() {
// BOOLEAN return if AJAX
It returns a semantic issue.
Also if I simply echo some basic text:
echo "Hello World!";
it still returns a semantic issue.
could somebody tell me what went wrong?

Well, for a start, JSONP requests can't be POST (only GET). But I tend to assume jQuery is ignoring the invalid type. JSONP is intrinsically a GET.
Your response to it is invalid. You've told jQuery you're expecting the server to provide a JSONP response. but your responses aren't JSONP.
A JSONP response would look something like this:
"property": "value",
"anotherProperty": 42
...where the name of the callback (callback in the above) is taken from the query string of the request. So for instance, if the request were http://sub.mydomain.com/test.php?callback=foo, the response would use foo for the name of the callback:
"property": "value",
"anotherProperty": 42
jQuery will add the callback= query string parameter to the request for you automatically, and generate the corresponding function for you, which in turn calls the ajax success handler with the data passed into it.

now it says reference issue. can't find variable: foo – Philip Jens Bramsted May 1 '13 at 11:10
@PhilipJensBramsted: Read the link about JSONP, and read the $.ajax documentation with regard to how it does JSONP. You don't specify callback in your URL explicitly. As I said above, jQuery will supply that (and the function) for you. Your server-side code just needs to use the callback query string parameter and use that as the name of the function. It'll have some long, weird name (because jQuery auto-generates them and tries to avoid conflicts). – T.J. Crowder May 1 '13 at 11:24

I think you may need to use the jquery postMessage plugin (or similar if there is one). Long time since I tried it but check if you load the script from the server you wish to call (think I tried that and failed in the past but hey - its worth a bash - report back if it does).

We are facing an issue with memcached (v1.4.4 on Redhat) that is accurately described below:
With consistent ketama hashing in memcached, there is no strict state for where a given key lives. In the absence of up-to-date key-server remapping info, clients might read or write a key from a wrong memcached server and that will lead to either stale or inconsistent data. For example, if there is any network disruption, and one or more clients decide that a particular memcached server is not available anymore, they will automatically rehash some data into the rest of the nodes even if the original one is still available. If the node eventually returns to service (for example after the network outage is resolved), the data on that node will be out of date and the clients without updated keyserver remapping info will read stale data.
Is there a way to solve this without going for an expensive commercial software alternative?

I now draw a dot on the canvas, which may be zoomed in or out.
As far as I know, the drawing function, canvas.drawCircle() takes in the coordinates in canvas coordinate system. Furthermore, the co-ordinates remain unchanged when the canvas is zoomed.
E.g. previously you draw a dot at (50, 50) in the canvas coordinate system, and then you zoom in the canvas, the dot's coordinates in the canvas still remain (50, 50). But obviously, the dot has been moved w.r.t. the screen.
When the canvas is zoomed, the dot should be kept at the same position on the screen. *i.e. After the dot moves w.r.t. to the screen, I want to move it back to its original position w.r.t. the screen.*
My onDraw() function is as follows:
public void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
canvasWidth = canvas.getWidth();
canvasHeight = canvas.getHeight();
canvas.translate(mPosX, mPosY);
canvas.scale(mScaleFactor, mScaleFactor);
mImage.draw(canvas); // draw the map as the background
Paint PointStyle = new Paint();
canvas.drawCircle(Constant.INITIAL_X, Constant.INITIAL_Y, 3, PointStyle);
I tried the following method to move the dot back on screen after the scaling.
private class ScaleListener extends ScaleGestureDetector.SimpleOnScaleGestureListener {
public boolean onScale(ScaleGestureDetector detector) {
mScaleFactor *= detector.getScaleFactor(); // accumulate the scale factors
mScaleFactor = Math.max(1f, Math.min(mScaleFactor, 10.0f)); // 1 ~ 10
float pinToCornerOnScreenXDistance = 0;
float pinToCornerOnScreenYDistance = 0;
float canvasToScreenDiffRatioX = 0;
float canvasToScreenDiffRatioY = 0;
float pinOnCanvasX = 0;
float pinOnCanvasY = 0;
// pin's location on the screen --> S:(336, 578)
pinToCornerOnScreenXDistance = 336 - canvasLeftTopCornerOnScreenX;
pinToCornerOnScreenYDistance = 578 - canvasLeftTopCornerOnScreenY;
Log.d("Screen Diff", "X: " + pinToCornerOnScreenXDistance + " Y: " + pinToCornerOnScreenYDistance);
canvasToScreenDiffRatioX = canvasWidth * mScaleFactor / 720; // screen of HTC One X --> 720*1280
canvasToScreenDiffRatioY = canvasHeight * mScaleFactor / 1280;
Log.d("Ratio", canvasToScreenDiffRatioX + " " + canvasToScreenDiffRatioY);
pinOnCanvasX = 0 + pinToCornerOnScreenXDistance * canvasToScreenDiffRatioX; // canvas left top corner is the origin (0, 0)
pinOnCanvasY = 0 + pinToCornerOnScreenYDistance * canvasToScreenDiffRatioY;
Log.d("Pin on Canvas", "X: " + pinOnCanvasX + " Y: " + pinOnCanvasY);
historyXSeries.set(0, Constant.INITIAL_X);
historyYSeries.set(0, Constant.INITIAL_Y);
return true;
The idea is based on the fact that I notice when I zoom in or out the canvas, its left top corner never moves. That is, the canvas' let top corner is the zooming center.
Then I successfully keep updating the zooming center's co-ordinates when the canvas is moved. So in this way, no matter I move the canvas or zoom it, I always have the zooming center's coordinates in my canvasLeftTopCornerOnScreenX and canvasLeftTopCornerOnScreenY.
Then I try to utilize the distance between the never-moved-during-scaling zooming center and the desired position where I hope to place my dot, (336, 578) here. I calculate it as pinToCornerOnScreenDistance.
As its name suggests, it is the on-screen distance. I have to scale it into canvas distance so that I can draw the dot, since the drawing function is based on the canvas coordinate system instead of the screen coordinate system. Currently, the code is device-specific, i.e. it is only for HTC One X, which has a 1280*720 screen, for now. So I do the scaling as follows:
canvasToScreenDiffRatioX = canvasWidth * mScaleFactor / 720;
canvasToScreenDiffRatioY = canvasHeight * mScaleFactor / 1280;
Then, finally I calculate the new on-canvas coordinates of on-screen point (336, 578) and then draw the dot there.
But the result is not correct. When I zoom the canvas, the dot I draw fails to remain at (336, 578) on screen.
Can anybody tell me where goes wrong? Or propose another way of doing this?
Any comment or Answer will be greatly appreciated!

Is your app using full-screen? Otherwise, it is not 1280 for the height. But I don't think that is your problem.
Based on my understanding, I will change the code to
pinOnCanvasX = 336 / mScaleFactor;
pinOnCanvasY = 578 / mScaleFactor;
which I assume when mScaleFactor == 1, the pin that on Canvas are the same on screen
share|improve this answer

Try this one, I think this can be useful for your issue,
pinOnCanvasX = (336 * mScaleFactor) + trans_x;
pinOnCanvasY = (578 * mScaleFactor) + trans_y;
here, trans_x and trans_y is translation of canvas on x and y axis. here in your case should be mPosX, mPosY but not sure what these points means for.
The way I would like to share you is scale and translate your starting point of the circle as much as canvas does. That means if your canvas scale and translate with some value then apply the same for your starting point too.
hope this will solve your problem.

Is it possible to set a form's ForeignKey field's queryset so that it will take separate queryset's and output them in <optgroup>'s?
Here is what I have:

form.fields['template'].queryset = Template.objects.filter(Q(default=1) | Q(user=request.user)).order_by('name')
In my Template model, I have default Templates and User-created templates. I want them to be visibly separated in the <select> box eg.
<optgroup label="Default Templates">
<option>Default 1</option>
<option>Default 2</option>
<optgroup label="User Templates">
<option>User Template 1</option>
<option>User Template 2</option>

I've done in the past by not using a foreign key on the form, but rather a charfield with choices.
A CharField with choices support optgroups. You need to have the choices in this format:
('Group 1',(('1','Yada'),('2','Yada'))), ('Group 2',(('3','Bepety'),('4','Bopity')))
Choices can also be a callable. So I created my own function that traverses the models and builds a tuple like the above.

I personally wouldn't do this with contour as you then need to add information about the elevation which I don't think you want?
matplotlib has Ellipse which is a subclass of Artist. The following example adds a single ellipse to a plot.
import matplotlib as mpl
ellipse = mpl.patches.Ellipse(xy=(0, 0), width=2.0, height=1.0)
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.set_xlim(-2, 2)
ax.set_ylim(-2, 2)
enter image description here
You then need to research how to get the effect you are looking for, I would have a read of the docs in general making things transparent is done through alpha.

While not about void pointers, printf is a similar case. You send type information, in the form of a format string, to the function, so it can know the type of data it receives. – Thomas Padron-McCarthy Oct 29 '13 at 14:52

C11 has type-generic expressions to help you solve this problem. You could do something like this example:
#define myFunction(X) _Generic((X), \
int *: myFunctionInt, \
float *: myFunctionFloat, \
default: myFunctionInt \
void myFunctionInt(int *x);
void myFunctionFloat(float *x);
And then call it the way you are:
int n = 10;
float n = 10.0f;
You will need to implement the separate target functions, but you could just do the pointer magic there and pass off to a common handler, for example.

C does not have runtime type information. When you pass a pointer, then you pass a naked pointer - a memory address.
If you are using pointers to void but need to know the type, then you have to pass some additional information. Otherwise, you create different functions for different types, like foo that expects an int, dfoo that expects a double and so on.

C does not allow to get the type of the variable passed by void*. The only thing, that you can do it is write kind of object oriented code by your self.
Probably something like this:

} generic_type_t;
void f_int(void* _data)
int* data = (int*)_data;
// Do something
int main()

gv.data = &data1;
gv.f = f_int;

I have an application that requires analytics for different level of aggregation, and that's the OLAP workload. I want to update my database pretty frequently as well.
e.g., here is what my update looks like (schema looks like: time, dest, source ip, browser -> visits)
(15:00-1-2-2010, www.stackoverflow.com,, safari) --> 105
(15:00-1-2-2010, www.stackoverflow.com,, firefox) --> 110

And then I want to ask what is the total visit to www.stackoverflow.com from a firefox browser last month.
I understand Vertica system can do this in a relatively cheap way (performance and scalability wise, but not cost-wise probably). I have two questions here.
1) Is there an open-source product that I can build upon to solve this problem? In particular, how well does a Mondrian system work? (scalability, and performance) 2) Is there an HBase or Hypertable base solution (obviously, a naked HBase/Hypertable can't do this) for this? -- but if there is a project based on HBase/Hypertable, scalability probably won't be an issue IMO)?

Is your data model more complex than that? If it isn't you might be beter of just writing custom code for it. Then you can really tune it to your data. Real products have to offer a lot of flexibility, need a lot of complexiy to achieve that, and suffer in speed as a result.
Your question is not clear in one aspect: when you talk about scalable, what do you mean by that? Are you collecting data from lots of sites but only have a limited amount of query users, or do you also have a lot of users? That situation leads to a significantly different model.

I don't see data model matters here. The original post wants to find a solution of pre-computation (cuboid lattices) on top of Hbase and etc. You are talking about Mapreduce, which extends what Hive is doing, but essentially it's a batch mode processing – user279941 Feb 5 '11 at 9:53

Isn't DidFinishLaunching kind of moot? By the time I get there I can display the actual UI I want, not a static PNG. – iter Jun 30 '10 at 0:35
Not at all. If your app loads quickly, you can simulate a splash screen here, or any other custom load screen. – Alex Reynolds Jun 30 '10 at 5:18
OK. I'll try that. – iter Jul 1 '10 at 3:42

you can set a ip for wifi but for mobile network
(Menu button) setting->wireless and network -> wifi setting ->(menu button again) -> advanced.
(Menu button) setting->wireless and network -> Mobile network -> Access Point Name -> and you can check if you can set a ip.
and btw, i think you can do (via software) with root access, otherwise it is not allowed.

If you are talking about the WiFi adapters IP address then no it is not possible and you certainly can't set a public IP address yourself since your providers network is not under your control and doesn't work as you might think it does.
You can only redirect the user to the wireless settings screen so he can set it himself.

eh?. Your wifi ip can be fixed (in your wi-fi menu in setting you must press the menu button and select the option advanced). – magallanes Nov 18 '10 at 13:30

I have a jquery popup, which has a list of text boxes to insert phone numbers. The user can choose to add more text boxes if they want. Each time they add a text box, I am adding a jquery required validator like so:
$("#phoneNumberTxt" + i).rules("add", {
required: true,
messages: {
required: "Phone number is required."
On the line with the text box, there are multiple text boxes. I am trying to pipe all the errors to a div to the left of all the text boxes (1 div per row). Is there a way to tell the above validator where to display the error message?

you might have a closer look to aspnet_regiis. This commandLine programm has some pretty nice parameters such aus -pef (encrypt) and -pdf (decrypt).
so you may encrypt your complete (or just a port of) xxx.config file while it stays useable for your application.

I think for your usual three-tier web application, the secrecy of your database username and password is not something that you care about too much, because you can control network security. Look at MongoDB for example, where passwords are optional and not supported by all configurations. You need to set your database server to only accept connections from your own application servers anyway.
You have multiple accounts (with associated permissions) mostly to protect yourself from accidents, not to really keep separate people apart from each other.
There is no way end users can connect to the database directly.
So keeping the connection credential in an unencrypted property file on the server is fine. If someone gets to the server, you are already in trouble anyway.
Better keep this file outside of the source repository, though.

I do this by encrypting the connection string .
This can be achieved by creating a separate application to encrypt the connection string. And using the decrypting code that is embedded in the application itself.

According to the ThrowingProvider documentation of Guice I have the following interface:
public interface IConfigurableProvider<T> extends ThrowingProvider<T, ConfigException> {}
I have multiple classes that implements this interface, let assume I have the following:
public class SomethingProvider extends ConfiguredProvider implements IConfigurableProvider<Something> {}
Of course this class implements the necessary method:
public Something get() throws ConfigException { /* ... */ }
In my module, I have the following code in MyModule.java
.bind(IConfigurableProvider.class, Something.class)
But when I start my application the following error produced:
6) No implementation for com.package.Something was bound.
while locating com.package.Something
for parameter 5 at com.package.OtherClass.<init>(OtherClass.java:78)
at com.package.MyModule.configure(MyModule.java:106)
I don't really know where should I start looking for the bug.

I'm using a custom signal handler to catch TERM, ABRT and INT signals in a custom java daemon. I have this handler in the code so that I can send TERM signals to it and gracefully shutdown the program via the kill command. The signal handler works right now, but when I compile the code I'm receiving the following warning (many times over):
warning: sun.misc.SignalHandler is Sun proprietary API and may be removed in a future release
while using these classes:
import sun.misc.SignalHandler;
import sun.misc.Signal;
Is there a better way to send signals to a running JVM to initiate a shutdown of the main thread? I don't like having my code tied to this API when it could be removed in the future.
This code works on Solaris and HPUX today using 1.5.0_22 JVM. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. I used this document, from IBM, to develop the signal handler:
share|improve this question
As far as I know there's no public API for signal handling (probably because it's too OS-specific), so you'll have to put up with this warning. – biziclop Feb 16 '11 at 23:39

First of all, understand that this is just a standard warning for sun.misc package. They're letting you know that the API you're using is not a standard Java API. It doesn't mean that they're actively planning to remove this API in the future. http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/faq/faq-sun-packages.html
As far as your question, it's not quite clear to me why the default way java process handles kill signals is not sufficient for you: How to stop java process gracefully?. If you need to add additional logic, you can add a shutdown hook.
Still, If you're looking for other ways to let your java process know it's time to exit, you can have it listen on a socket, or stdin, or a named pipe...
You might also want to look into JVMTI
share|improve this answer
Your "How to stop a java process gracefully" was very helpful. I did a search and I'm not sure how I missed that one. I looked over my script that performs the kill and it is doing "kill -9". I think I'm sending the wrong signal, according to that link, and hard killing the app (which is why I had to trap the signal during the shutdown for graceful exit). I'm going to try a different signal, and the shutdown hooks, and see if that is a better solution. – jmq Feb 17 '11 at 0:49
This ultimately worked and I was able to remove those two classes from the project. Your suggestion was helpful, thank you. – jmq Feb 17 '11 at 22:11

You could do this via JMX. JMX is a standard set of apis that can be used to monitor and manage java applications.
Here are some links to get you started :
The main idea is this :
a) You will have a boolean variable, say isShutDownTrigerred. You will have a thread that will run a infinite loop, sleep for 2s, and keeps checking this variable value. When the value is true, you will execute code that will shutdown the application.
b) Then you write a mxbean (check the links above). This mxbean will be used to change the "isShutDownTrigerred" value to true. You can use a tool like jconsole /jManage to see and modify the mxbeans of a java application. As soon as the "isShutDownTriggered" is set to true, the above thread is going to know it and will execute the shutdown of the application

I got this problem wrong on my homework, and I can't figure out why:

procedure Sub2 is
X: Integer;
begin -- of Sub2
end; -- of Sub2

Ada uses static (lexical) scoping rules, but even if it didn't it's hard to see what the Put(X) in Sub1 can be referring to other than the uninitialised X 2 lines above it. The value printed will likely depend on the OS, the compiler flags used and perhaps even the time of day.
After correcting the code, the answer (using various GNATs on Mac OS X) was 0 using -O2 for all of them, but without optimisation GCC 4.3.3 gets 42291, GNAT GPL 2009 (which is a 64-bit compiler) gets 16777216, and a recompilation of GNAT GPL 2009 for 32-bits gets 1.

I don't know anything about the library but the names suggest that one is a standard lock and the other is a reader/writer lock.

For example, pthreads api has pthread_mutex_lock/pthread_mutex_unlock and pthread_rwlock_rdlock/pthread_rwlock_wrlock methods.

PRLock is a simple mutex. PRRWLock is an (unfortunately undocumented) reader-writer lock.
The only source of documentation I can find on PRRWLock is contained within prrwlock.h, and includes the methods one would expect for a reader-writer lock implementation:
• Create and Destroy
• Acquire Reader-lock
• Acquire Writer-lock
• Release the lock
An example of its usage is contained in rwlocktest.c. The rank of the lock is used for deadlock detection and is asserted in debug builds to ensure that a thread only acquires a lock of rank equal or greater to all currently held locks.

You didn't really specify what the login credentials were used for but I'd recommend you take a look at implementing a SQL database (MySQL, PostgresSQL, etc) for this.

You cannot have your primary application title without a title, though I believe that through Push Notification services it has been possible to remove the title.
If you are creating a Windows Phone 7.1 (Mango) application, you could try using the ShellTile API to set the title to an empty string. The primary tile is the first value returned by the ActiveTiles property if the application is pinned to the Start screen.

I was here earlier and got a hand adding to chars ascii references to increment the cipher shift on each letter. However i have no idea how to fix the problem of characters being higher than 'z'.
Can someone give me a hint towards how to wrap around when the characters reach the end of the alphabet. I don't expect anyone to do my work for me, of course.
char decrypt(char letter)
int increment = 9;
if(letter == ' ')
return letter;
letter += increment;
return letter;
int main()
char message[446]; int i = 0; char space = ' ';
ifstream in("encryptedText.txt");
if(in.getline(message, 446))
cout << decrypt(tolower(message[i])) << endl;
{cout << "Can't read file" << endl;}
cout << endl;

@Marobri... it's worth bearing in mind that the ascii characters can be directly translated into digits. It would help you if you thought about them as digits... google search for ascii table and you can see the universally applicable numeric values that you can use for future "letter maths". – Dennis Dec 13 '11 at 14:21

The modulo operation is your friend. Whenever integers form a ring instead of a sequence, a modulo operation can be applied, like:
5 % 4 == 17 % 4
You need to compute this in the integer space relative to 'a', of course, subtracting 'a' appropriately.

That's a good answer to a homework question. It helps without doing the asker's work. +1 from me. – sbi Dec 13 '11 at 12:53

Before my form initiates an AJAX request, I want to call a function.
I see that for link_ to_remote there is the handy :before option... "Called before request is initiated."
here is my source:
<% form_remote_for(@news, :url => {:action => 'create'}) do |f| %>
Before the request is initiated, I want to call myFunction()
Thanks for the help :)

My mistake - :before does work with remote_ form_for. I just had a silly syntax error.

After reading an article about fonts, i tried the code and i am getting same results as show in the article but i can't figure out what those numbers XXX:XXX represent. Are they ascii values or what? What link should i read to understand about Typeface, GlyphTypeface mentioned in the answer?

You quote an article and dont bother reading it and looking it up in the documentation regarding the code sample? Must be a new professional attitude. – TomTom Mar 22 '12 at 6:05
I read it that why tried running its code but couldn't understand its outcome. as simple as that. looks like not reading people question carefully is the new professional attitude.. – Nikhil Agrawal Mar 22 '12 at 6:08

Well - those numbers xxx:xxx is actual a pair - left number indicates unicode code point (i.e. unicode character code) and right side indicates the index to the glyph in the font file.
AFAIK, in very simple terms, glyph is a character representation i.e. how a character would look in a particular font/type-face. You may have a same glyph used for multiple characters and hence index in glyph tables is used. Typography is a involved subject and you can find a lot of material online - search for it. Here are few wikipedia pages that may get you started:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glyph (see typography entry)
MSDN also has a lot of documentation (e..g http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.media.glyphtypeface.aspx) but you need to get some basic background before that.

Have a numbered list in 2007 Word. Everything was fine until item 100.
At 100 and on, the margin between the number and the text is very large.
How do I make it normal? Thanks!

99. texttexttexttexttext
100. texttexttexttexttext<--Can't get just one space between number and text?

The default hanging indent value (i.e., how far in the text begins) isn't wide enough for the 3-digit numbers. (Default seems to be for the number itself to be indented 0.25", and the following text indented 0.5", which leaves only 0.25" for the number.) When it's not wide enough, then, Word has to move the hanging text over to the next tab stop.
You can fix this as follows: select the entire numbered list, right-click and select Adjust List Indents, and then set Number position and Text indent to whatever you want.

I have got the steps for fixing the Numbering Issue of Microsoft Word 2007. Just follow the steps so that your text and numbers will be aligned correctly :
From the numbered list, select all of the items. Then click the drop-down arrow at the right of the Numbering tool in the Paragraph group, on the Home tab of the ruler. You will find that Word displays a palette of options. Click the Define New Number Format option. Word displays the Define New Number Format dialog box, and all the options in the dialog box should match whatever was set in the numbered list you selected in step 1. Choose the Right, using the Alignment drop-down list. Finally click on OK.

Sure, but what if he does want the numbers to be left-aligned, just that the following text should always be indented the same distance from the page margin? – Alex Feb 12 '10 at 17:51

YMMV: Dead Pixels
• Breather Boss: The Queen. Her only attack is an acid spit, so as long as you get her pattern down and know when to keep your distance, its pretty easy to avoid getting hit.
• Game Breaker: A few:
• Chainsaws. They can easily cut through large hordes and even boss zombies like a hot knife through butter. Did we also mention it runs on tanks of gas, which can easily last for several minutes of sustained use with very little effort or money? Finding a chainsaw on the hardest difficulty can turn it into a complete cakewalk if the player is careful how they use it.
• The Flamethrower. It works like a medium range version of the chainsaw with the added bonus of setting any zombie it hits on fire. In the hands of a decently skilled player most zombies won't even get close before being turned into charcoal. As if that wasn't enough, it also runs on easily acquired tanks of gas just like the chainsaw!
• Goddamned Bats: The basic acid spitting zombies. They don't have nearly enough HP to count as a Demonic Spider, but their acid attack has pretty good range, travels at a somewhat fast speed, the acid does decent enough damage that the player can't simply stand still and allow themselves to be hit over and over again during combat, and they spit if the player even looks at them funny. Adding in the fact that they can appear in large groups and are almost always accompanied by other zombies means dealing with them can be a huge pain even on easy.
• That One Boss: The Fiend. Its claws do tremendous damage, its possibly the fastest unique zombie in the game, and it just loves to zip around the area, constantly dodging your attacks. It doesn't help that, like most of the bosses, it generally doesn't appear until towards the end of the run, at a point where your ammo and supplies are likely dwindling.

Kingsbury Named Broyles Award Finalist
November 26, 2012

(photo: Texas A&M Athletics)
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. --- First-year Texas A&M offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury was named a finalist for the Broyles Award, which honors the top assistant coach in college football.
Under Kingsbury's direction, the Texas A&M offense ranks as one of the most explosive units in the nation. The Aggies rank in the top 15 nationally in rushing (No. 13, 235.1 yards/G), passing (No. 14, 317.3 yards/G), scoring (No. 4, 44.8 points/G) and total offense (No. 3, 552.3 yards/G), and lead the Southeastern Conference in all four categories.
Also the quarterbacks coach, Kingsbury has helped develop redshirt freshman Johnny Manziel into a prime candidate for the Heisman Trophy, which is given annually to college football's most outstanding player. Manziel has already broken the SEC's record for total offense that was set by Auburn's Cam Newton in his Heisman-winning season in 2010. He also became the fifth player in NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision history to pass for 3,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards in a single season.

When CineMotion is set to Auto 2 or off does Motionflow even have an effect? Whats the difference between Motionflow and "Frame extrapolation"? Thanks!
I actually owned the 2550 (Best Buy version) but had to return it. The main reason I bought it was because of the HQV upscaling chipset for regular DVD's. The picture/sound were fine but I decided to return it after multiple lockups. I decided on the 550 and have had no gliches what-so-ever and the upscalling is on par with the 2550. Hope this helps!!
Does anyone know if SONY is planning an upgrade for the 550 to allow streaming Netflix movies like Samsung & LG? It looks like the new 560 adds wireless, subtracts the analogs but still no mention of Netflix?
What is the best way to increase the sub volume to match my personal preference? Using the level control on my subs (I have 2) or the level on my Denon 3808? What has the least impact on the calibration results? Thanks!
Hey JohAV would you mind sending me a PM with an authorized dealer that has the 3808 at that price? The only place I've seen it that low is on eBay. Thanks!
I had the same problem with Pearl Harbor but when i tried the same disc in my PS3 I got the same grainy results. That is why I think it's the movie and not the 5000.
Well Santa delivered my 5000 today and so far I'm in awe! Ordered from ABT and it came double boxed, with free overnight shipping, no tax and $130 below the new list. The build date is 12/07 and software version is 071108.02_1114_0924.11_XAA. I played Dante's Peak (HD) first and had no issues (no glitches and excellent picture/sound). The second movie gave me a little scare though (Pearl Harbor - BR). There was noticable noise in most of the sceens. But after I tried...
My 5000 is coming tomorrow from ABT Electronics - can't wait!!
Have you contacted Samsung about this issue?
Well the board they installed did not work and it took 6 weeks to find that out! Sony tried to order more boards but the technician really thought it was the panel. I couldn't wait another 6 weeks for it not to work again so long story short Sears gave me a new set and life is wonderful again! No more watching the 720P Panasonic they loaned me. Got to give Sears credit they came through in the end.......

Healing and forgiveness
1 After a few days, Jesus went back to Capernaum, and people heard that he was at home. 2 So many gathered that there was no longer space, not even near the door. Jesus was speaking the word to them. 3 Some people arrived, and four of them were bringing to him a man who was paralyzed. 4 They couldn't carry him through the crowd, so they tore off part of the roof above where Jesus was. When they had made an opening, they lowered the mat on which the paralyzed man was lying. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Child, your sins are forgiven!" 6 Some legal experts were sitting there, muttering among themselves, 7 "Why does he speak this way? He's insulting God. Only the one God can forgive sins." 8 Jesus immediately recognized what they were discussing, and he said to them, "Why do you fill your minds with these questions? 9 Which is easier—to say to a paralyzed person, ‘Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, ‘Get up, take up your bed, and walk'? 10 But so you will know that the Human Onea has authority on the earth to forgive sins"—he said to the man who was paralyzed, 11 "Get up, take your mat, and go home." 12 Jesus raised him up, and right away he picked up his mat and walked out in front of everybody. They were all amazed and praised God, saying, "We've never seen anything like this!"
Eating with sinners
13 Jesus went out beside the lake again. The whole crowd came to him, and he began to teach them. 14 As he continued along, he saw Levi, Alphaeus' son, sitting at a kiosk for collecting taxes. Jesus said to him, "Follow me." Levi got up and followed him. 15 Jesus sat down to eat at Levi's house. Many tax collectors and sinners were eating with Jesus and his disciples. Indeed, many of them had become his followers. 16 When some of the legal experts from among the Pharisees saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples, "Why is he eating with sinners and tax collectors?" 17 When Jesus heard it, he said to them, "Healthy people don't need a doctor, but sick people do. I didn't come to call righteous people, but sinners."
When to fast
18 John's disciples and the Pharisees had a habit of fasting. Some people asked Jesus, "Why do John's disciples and the Pharisees' disciples fast, but yours don't?" 19 Jesus said, “The wedding guests can't fast while the groom is with them, can they? As long as they have the groom with them, they can't fast. 20 But the days will come when the groom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast. 21 "No one sews a piece of new, unshrunk cloth on old clothes; otherwise, the patch tears away from it, the new from the old, and makes a worse tear. 22 No one pours new wine into old leather wineskins; otherwise, the wine would burst the wineskins and the wine would be lost and the wineskins destroyed. But new wine is for new wineskins."
Scripture and the Sabbath
23 Jesus went through the wheat fields on the Sabbath. As the disciples made their way, they were picking the heads of wheat. 24 The Pharisees said to Jesus, "Look! Why are they breaking the Sabbath law?" 25 He said to them, "Haven't you ever read what David did when he was in need, when he and those with him were hungry? 26 During the time when Abiathar was high priest, David went into God's house and ate the bread of the presence, which only the priests were allowed to eat. He also gave bread to those who were with him." 27 Then he said, "The Sabbath was created for humans; humans weren't created for the Sabbath. 28 This is why the Human Oneb is Lord even over the Sabbath."
