I need some help desparately.
I have added a page which has a parent page BUT I find that the sub page does not appear as sub menu item of the parent page in the category menu bar in atahualpa theme version 3.7.3 and wordpress 3.3.1
For example I have a parent page -Boot-camp-series which is a menu item in the category menu bar. The sub page Boot-camp-1 is a page whose parent is boot-camp-series. Eventhough I have set the page attribute for boot-camp-1 as boot-camp-series it does not appear on the category menu bar.
What is the reason for this. Do I need to change any attributes in theme options ?
I can provide the screen shot if needed.

Knowing the Cost of Everything at Everlane's Open House
What does it cost to host a pop-up shop in Manhattan? For online retailer Everlane, it's $239,500 when you add up expenses like rent, branding, travel, construction and deinstallation costs.
That cost—along with the costs and backstory of everyday items like chairs, hangers and food—was on display last night at Everlane's Open House, a pop-up shop in SoHo running from today until June 28.
"Everything that we do centers around good design and transparency, and the transparency aspect is this idea of really educating the consumer," said Everlane founder and CEO Michael Preysman. Showcasing the cost breakdown of products is something Everlane already does on its site through infographics, which detail the materials, labor and transportation costs for something like a $55 men's slim-fit Oxford shirt.

Little Rock Ranked #1 of America's 10 Great Places to Live by Kiplinger's Personal Finance
— Rankings Place Value on Livability in Small and Mid-Size Cities —
(July 25, 2013)—Little Rock has been named number one on Kiplinger's Personal Finance's list of 10 Great Places to Live for 2013. The rankings place an emphasis on small and mid-size cities, considering metro areas with a population of one million or less that have good jobs, reasonably priced homes, decent schools and access to great health care. The rankings appear in Kiplinger's September 2013 issue—on newsstands August 6, 2013—and available online now.
"We are pleased to receive this recognition from Kiplinger," said City Manager Bruce Moore. "Those of us who call Little Rock home, recognize it is a great city for living, working and playing. It is always nice when a well-respected, objective source such as Kiplinger reconfirms this. This honor is a testament to visionaries who have worked to position Little Rock as a leading city. As City Manager, I also want to thank the men and women of the City of Little Rock who work each and every day to ensure that residents and visitors alike have the opportunity to enjoy all that Little Rock offers."
With its scenic beauty, diverse community, cultural offerings and key employers—including the state government and two major universities—Little Rock has the amenities of a larger city but is small enough that residents feel part of the community. Burlington, Vermont, and Bryan-College Station, Texas, round out the top three, taking second and third place, respectively. Kiplinger's "10 Great Places to Live":
1. Little Rock, Arkansas 2. Burlington, Vermont 3. Bryan-College Station, Texas 4. Santa Fe, New Mexico 5. Columbia, South Carolina 6. Billings, Montana 7. Morgantown, West Virginia 8. Ithaca, New York 9. Anchorage, Alaska 10. Dubuque, Iowa
"As Mayor, I am elated over being ranked Number 1 on Kiplinger's list of the 10 Great Places to Live for 2013," said Mayor Mark Stodola. "Kiplinger has long been recognized as a leader in finance and forecasting and their ranking of Little Rock as #1 is proof positive that our community is fast becoming the next great American city in the South! We have good jobs, an educated workforce, good home values and great natural and cultural amenities that highlight a wonderful quality of life. Three cheers for Little Rock!"
"Each year we take a look at America's cities and choose those that stand out in a particular category—say, for raising a family, starting out after college or enjoying retirement," says Janet Bodnar, Editor of Kiplinger's Personal Finance. "The cities in this year's rankings have a manageable size combined with a wide range of benefits that allow residents to enjoy a convenient and comfortable lifestyle."
Web visitors will find special features, including a tool to find your best city, a slide show of the 10 Great Places to Live—including picks of what the locals love—and a tool to see how your city stacks up against Kiplinger's picks. In addition, the ranking will be listed with Kiplinger's other city rankings in the Best Cities, States & Places special report available at kiplinger.com/links/bestcities. Join the online conversation by using the #KipCities hashtag.

Is Bill Gates returning to Microsoft?
Is pepper spray actually a vegetable?
[ Want to cash in on your IT experiences? InfoWorld is looking for stories of an amazing or amusing IT adventure, lesson learned, or tales from the trenches. Send your story to firstname.lastname@example.com. If we publish it, we'll keep you anonymous and send you a $50 American Express gift cheque. ]
Is there no blog-driven rumor simply too silly to ignore? (Obviously, we know the answer to that last one.)
Citing a "prominent chief executive [who] heard from someone close to Gates," Fortune is reporting that the world's second-richest man "might be considering" coming back to Microsoft to rescue it from the doldrums.
Founders leaving the CEO post only to return in an attempt to restore the company's tarnished glory? It's happened before in the tech world, most famously with Steve Jobs, but also Michael Dell, Google's Larry Page, and Twitter's Jack Dorsey, to name four.
Remember, for years Gates was the world's most famous and successful geek. Now geek billionaires are like Starbucks franchises -- there's one on every other corner and you can hardly tell them apart. You gotta believe that burns Gates just a little.
These rumors have arisen in the past, of course, and each time Gates has pooh-poohed them. Today his chief of staff Larry Cohen issued the standard denial. The reaction in the blogosphere has also been one of "no, please God no, anything but that."
I don't know. I think this move may be more wise than most realize. In fact, I've come up with 10 reasons why Gates should strongly consider returning and why Microsoft should be happy to have him back.
10. Microsoft hasn't successfully copied a good product in years.
9. Because spending every day trying to end world hunger, eradicate polio and malaria, and raise the quality of education is a total bummer. Debating the merits of tiles vs. icons is a much better use of his time.
8. Ever since Jobs's return to Apple in 1997, Gates has always secretly coveted the title of "the comeback kid."
7. Because we're falling further and further behind Brazil, Russia, India, and China in the race for sweater-wearing CEOs.
6. Top Microsoft executives are terrified Steve Ballmer will finally go completely postal and show up to meetings with a vest full of C4 strapped to his chest. Gates is the only person who's ever been able to talk Ballmer down.
5. He can get Jerry Seinfeld to entertain at the annual employee appreciation party. Also: Free churros for everyone.
4. Gates is like Chinese kryptonite to antitrust investigations. He can vow to use his desktop monopoly to crush a competitor, then forget he ever said it 30 minutes later.
3. Because how many times can you play bridge with Warren Buffet before wanting to kick him under the table? Let's face it -- the man cheats.
2. Only Gates has what it takes to finally close that Yahoo acquisition. At this point, Yahoo might actually pay Microsoft to put it out of its misery. That's what we call a win-win situation.
And the No. 1 reason Bill Gates should return to Microsoft:
1. Windows Home Appliance 2012: Toaster Edition. Think about it.
A Gates return is probably about as likely as Herman Cain unsuspending his race for the GOP nomination. Still, it's fun to think about. I certainly miss having Bill Gates to kick around. How about you?

two and a half pounds shrimp
fucketonne garlic
five medium hotte green peppers
one fucken hotte habanero pepper
shittetonne chopped cilantro
one cup dry white wine
hugeasse splash corenwijn (or bourbon or rye)
juice of one lime
olive oil
salt to taste
tortillas (our usual is Nixtamal)
savoy cabbage
queso fresco
Peel, clean, and halve the shrimp if they are big. These are jumbos.
Stem, seed, and dice the peppers. I only used half of the habanero, but it could have taken the whole thing if you like it really fucken hotte.
Sautee the garlic (large dice) and peppers in a generous amount of olive oil, until the garlic is turning golden.
Add the shrimp, turn up the heat, and sautee until they are cooked on the outside. Add the corenwijn (and take a bigge fucken swigge for yourself!) and wine, and continue to cook for a few minutes until the alcohol is burned off and the shrimps are done. At this point you have a delicious shrimp dish, that you can serve in tacos (as we did) or on pasta or rice.
If you are serving in tacos, remove the shrimp from the sauce, add a nice splash of milk or cream as thickener, and reduce it down quite a bit, put the shrimp back in, add the cilantro and lime juice, cook for just about one minute to reheat the shrimp, and then you're done. If you are serving on pasta or rice, then just add the cilantro and lime juice without reducing, cook for one minute to soften the cilantro, and then it's ready.
Heat the tortillas, put some cabbage on them, then the shrimp.
Then garnish with the avocado, queso fresco, cilantro, and squeezes of lime. This shitte was fucken delicious, and made the hideous fucken Yanks loss last night easier to take.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's housekeeper turned mistress has come out of hiding and broken her silence about the affair.
In an Internet preview of an exclusive interview to HELLO! magazine, Mildred Baena revealed that Maria Shriver found out about the affair by herself and that Baena's son, Joseph, only learned who his father was a year ago.
Baena, 50, said Maria deduced that Joseph was Arnold's son after hearing "whispers in the household" about the boy's resemblance to the former governor of California.
"She would say things like, 'I'm here if you need to talk,'" she told HELLO!. "I sensed something was up. I have so much love and respect for Maria.
"Finally, she asked point blank.
"She was so strong. She cried with me and told me to get off my knees. We held each other and I told her it wasn't Arnie's fault, that it takes two."
And how did Joseph, now 13, take the news the his dad was a Hollywood superstar?
"He exclaimed: 'Cool!'"

I was just wondering what you guys think of the difference between the two countries when it comes to religion. From my perspective, I've always been an atheist but since moving to the US I'm much more active. I'm not sure if this is because I discovered the work of Dawkins, Harris, Hitch and the rest or if it's because religion is so much more in your face in this country. But I do know that atheists are pretty despised down here. Which seems quite different from how the climate is in Canada.
Anyway, what do you think? Is it easier/more respectable to be an atheist in Canada?
Views: 106
As an American, I can clarify :) Atheists are considered vile and anarchists in the U.S. I know, because I am one of them. It is better if you live in a big city, but in the country, where I am... it's rough.

Knowledge: Installer parameters / silent installation
From andLinux
Joachim (Talk | contribs)
(initial version)
Next diff →
Revision as of 12:07, 23 May 2009
All Installer settings can also be specied via command line parameters. Multi-option choices are numbered from top to bottom, starting with number 0, i.e., 0 corresponds to "stable kernel" and 1 to "testing kernel" for the kernel settings, for example. Each parameter starts with a slash, followed by the parameter name, the equality sign, and the value, without any spaces in between. To install the stable kernel, for example, the parameter is /stable=0 ("stable" is the parameter name of the stable kernel question).
These are the parameter names for all the installer questions:
stable = kernel question
mem = memory question
xming = install Xming question xming_res = non-default Xming resolution question xming_resx = non-default Xming resolution (width) xming_resy = non-default Xming resolution (height)
sound = install PulseAudio question
startup = startup type question
user = andLinux username passwd = andLinux password
mount = Windows file access question
cofs = absolute path of CoFS shared folder
smb_share = share name of Samba shared folder smb_user = Samba username smb_passwd = Samba password
dir = absolute path of installation directory
group = name of startmenu group
All checkboxes for creating icons or file associations can be (de-)selected by (not) including the corresponding value into the comma-separated value list of the tasks parameter. The values are:
di_startup = desktop icon "start andLinux" di_fltk = desktop icon for FLTK console di_nt = desktop icon for NT console
ql_startup = quick launch icon "start andLinux" ql_fltk = quick launch icon for FLTK console ql_nt = quick launch icon for NT console
In the KDE version also these values are defined:
ql_konsole = quick launch icon for Konsole ql_dolphin = quick launch icon for Dolphin ql_konqueror = quick launch icon for Konqueror ql_kmail = quick launch icon for KMail ql_kontact = quick launch icon for Kontact ql_korganizer = quick launch icon for KOrganizer
se_konsole = Konsole in explorer context menu se_dolphin = Dolphin in explorer context menu se_kate = Kate in explorer context menu
fa_kwd = file association .kwd (KWord) fa_ksp = file association .ksp (KSpread) fa_kpr = file association .kpr (KPresenter) fa_kexi = file association .kexi (Kexi) fa_flw = file association .flw (Kivio) fa_karbon = file association .karbon (Karbon) fa_kra = file association .kra (Krita) fa_kplato = file association .kplato (KPlato) fa_chrt = file association .chrt (KChart) fa_kfo = file association .kfo (KFormula)
fa_tex = file association .tex (Kile) fa_bib = file association .bib (Kile) fa_dvi = file association .dvi (Okular) fa_eps = file association .eps (Okular) fa_ps = file association .ps (Okular) fa_pdf = file association .pdf (Okular)
In the minimal/XFCE version also these values are defined:
ql_terminal = quick launch icon for XFCE Terminal ql_thunar = quick launch icon for Thunar
se_terminal = XFCE Terminal in explorer context menu se_thunar = Thunar in explorer context menu se_mousepad = Mousepad in explorer context menu
All the parameters explained so far will check the desired options and enter the respective values in their corresponding fields. In order to make the installation silent, i.e., suppress all the wizard pages and "Are you sure?" questions, you additionally need to specify the /sp- and /silent parameters.

He then wraps his little arms around me to give me a giant hug.

He then lets out a giant *sigh*, and says,

Nice. Talk about zapping that moment into complete oblivion.

Capnella sp.
"I'm just an easy care beauty that will grow like a weed, a saltwater weed that is!"
The Kenya Tree Coral is a great soft coral for beginners!
The Kenya Tree Coral Capnella sp. is extremely hardy once established in an aquarium and easily propagated. This makes them a very good beginner coral. It is definitely the strongest coral of all the Nephtheidae family genera and most people have vast success with them. As a matter of fact, they are so easily grown and kept that if you are part of a reef club or know people with reefs, many people will give one of theirs for free!… Read More

The University of California Press has published a special kind of wartime journalism with "Eating Mud Crabs in Kandahar: Stories of Food during Wartime by the World's Leading Correspondents." Food is this book's organizing theme.
"Eating Mud Crabs in Kandahar: Stories of Food during Wartime," by the World's Leading Correspondents. Edited by Matt McAllester. University of California Press, Berkeley, 2011. 226 pages. $27.50.
War correspondents are among our greatest storytellers. It makes sense. Conflict — upon which a good story rides — is their reality.
These writers and photojournalists are often sleep-deprived, endangered, isolated, hungry, hyper-alert and jammed up with the details of war exploding all around them. Their stories and their photography are, among other things, outlets, a way to explain what they cannot always say face to face.
The University of California Press has published a special kind of wartime journalism with "Eating Mud Crabs in Kandahar: Stories of Food during Wartime by the World's Leading Correspondents." Food is this book's organizing theme. Sometimes the journalists write about lack of food and/or what constitutes food in desperate situations. Sometimes it's feasting with leaders or merely watching them feast or getting kidnapped in the midst of an especially fabulous feast. There's the surprise and joy of biting into a piece of sugar cane in Haiti and a moving essay on the life-giving qualities of bread in Jerusalem and Boston.
Tim Hetherington explains MREs (Meals, Ready-to-Eat) at the Restrepo Outpost in Afghanistan. Charles M. Sennott makes associations between the struggles in Bethlehem and his son's hospitalization in Boston. Christina Lamb debates crunching down on a mud crab in a ditch in Afghanistan. These journalists, along with others, are also our best teachers. They bring us knowledge and understanding and great storytelling.
Food unlocks many doors. Amy Wilentz, in "Sugarland," writes: "It's hard to eat anything in Haiti without having a political epiphany." For instance, Haitians love sugar. Wilentz says there may be more sugar than coffee in a Haitian's mug. Though Haitians were enslaved by the French to plant and harvest sugar cane, they now buy their sugar from the Dominican Republic. They staged a successful revolt in 1791, ending the sugar-based economy. If they want sugar cane now, they pluck it from the side of the road. Wilentz's description of biting into sugar cane for the first time is fantastic, as is her description of a family cooking and eating its one daily meal. Though meager, it is a feast bordering on spiritual.
Jon Lee Anderson is treated to a feast and a rare performance by a maskhara, or jester, in "Dinner with a Jester." The jester performs various skits, lampoons politicians and dispenses wisdom. He is one of the last of the maskhara in Afghanistan. He tells the men in attendance, "We Afghans have learned how to eat for ourselves, like cows, who, with their cuds, know how to find the good stuff to eat, and how to spit out the bad." He was talking about an American initiative to demobilize and disarm the former mujahideen fighters. "We are turning in only the bad weapons, but keeping the good ones for ourselves…."
In "House of Bread" Charles M. Sennott, a Boston-based journalist and foreign correspondent, weaves three stories artfully. His 9-year-old son Gabriel is acutely ill in a Boston hospital because of a burst appendix. His moans and his suffering remind Sennott of the many wounded children he's seen over the years. He's also reminded of Gabriel's birth, in a Bethlehem hospital during a time of much shelling and danger. And he recalls, as well, the delicious aroma of pita and taboon bread baking in the wood and coal ovens in and around Jerusalem. His wife, after giving birth, is served a nurturing meal of Palestinian chicken on top of the taboon bread. And Rabbi Susan Harris visits Gabriel in the hospital, just as he begins to turn a corner, with a warm loaf of challah bread. He devours much of the loaf, writes Sennott. His thoughts return to Bethlehem. "I smelled the bakeries and the warm aroma of the taboon bread mixed with the conflicting burned smell of cordite from Israeli tank fire. The two smells — warm bread and cordite — mingling together is now my strongest memory of Bethlehem."
Tim Hetherington, who worked with Sebastian Junger, author of "War" and "The Perfect Storm," at the Restrepo Outpost, was killed covering the conflict in Libya this past April. Hetherington co-directed the award-winning documentary "Restrepo" with Junger, as well.

First, I must start by saying that I am very grateful to this fabulous company for recognizing that it isn't necessary to use wheat starch or barley malt in every cereal that they make. There are so many more cereals out there that could easily be converted to a gluten-free recipe if the barley malt flavoring or wheat starch were removed. I know, reformulating is probably not cheap, but think of the increased number of consumers you could reach!!
As I was reading my blog reader this morning, I came upon a post by Gluten-Free Philly announcing that General Mills has come out with a new version of Cookie Crisp and this one has no gluten containing ingredients! The cereal is Sprinkles Cookie Crisp. Probably not the healthiest choice of the gluten-free cereals available, but a choice nonetheless. So you can add this to the list of other cereals made by General Mills that contain no gluten:
- Rice Chex
- Corn Chex
- Cinnamon Chex
- Chocolate Chex
- Strawberry Chex
- Honey Nut Chex
- Trix
- Kix (check ingredients…old boxes have oats)
- Honey Kix
- Berry Berry Kix
- Sprinkles Cookie Crisp
- The elusive Chocolate Lucky Charms
- Dora the Explorer
I have not looked yet for the Sprinkles Cookie Crisp in my local store because I just found out about them. I will start to look next time I am in the store. Though, I need another box of cereal like I need a hole in my head. For those who can't find the cereal locally, our favorite online shopping venue offers up the cereal in cases of 4.
**Please note that the Chex cereals are the only ones that are specifically labeled "Gluten-Free". The others listed contain no gluten ingredients and are enjoyed by many who follow the gluten-free diet. Both Jon & I are extremely sensitive and have had no issues.

Emergency response teams and hazardous materials crews responded to Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airporton Thursday afternoon after a flight attendant on an inbound Southwest Airlines flight fell ill, airport officials said.
About 4:25 p.m., Southwest Flight 709 from Norfolk, Va., arrived at the airport with a flight attendant in need of medical attention, officials said.
The flight had originated in Denver and was bound for Chicago and later Dallas, but its stop in Baltimore was scheduled, officials said.
"It arrived right on time," said Whitney Kidd, an airport spokeswoman.
The plane, which had 139 passengers and flight crew aboard, landed safely and passengers were never at risk, Kidd said.
Those bound for Chicago were able to board a different plane and depart Baltimore after only a slight delay, said Olga Romero, a Southwest spokeswoman.
Airport fire and rescue personnel responded to the plane as it taxied to the airport, then requested assistance from the Anne Arundel Fire Department's hazardous materials unit because of uncertainties about what had caused the illness, Kidd said.
A subsequent, though still preliminary, investigation indicated the attendant, who was not identified, became ill after smelling a bathroom air freshener spray that was on board the plane, Romero said.
It was not clear what form her illness took, but she was transported to a local hospital and has since recovered, Romero said.
"We know that she's in the clear now. She's OK," Romero said.
It was not clear why or how the air freshener had made the woman sick, Romero said.
Crews continued to investigate the incident until 6:27 p.m., when the plane and the area around it were deemed fully secured, Kidd said.
The disturbance did not affect any other flights at the airport, she said.

text: Enabling dynamic compression (gzip, deflate) for WCF Data Feeds, OData and other custom services in IIS7 March 30, '11 Comments [10] Posted in ASP.NET | IIS | OData Sponsored By I'm working on a thing that uses an HttpWebRequest to talk to a backend WCF Data Service and it'd be ideal if the traffic was using HTTP Compression (gzip, deflate, etc). On the client side, it's easy to just add code like this request.AutomaticDecompression = DecompressionMethods.GZip | DecompressionMethods.Deflate or more manually var request = HttpWebRequest.Create("http://foofoo");request.Headers["Accept"] = "application/json";request.Headers["Accept-Encoding"] = "gzip, deflate"; However, you need to make sure this is installed and turned on in IIS7 in you server. Launch your IIS Manager and go to the Compression module. There's check boxes, but it's not installed you may see this yellow alert on the right side. If it's not installed, go to the Server Manager, Roles, Web Server. Under Role Services, check your installed Roles. If Dynamic Compression isn't installed, click Add Roles and install it. You can go back to compression for your site and ensure Dynamic Compression is checked. At this point, Dynamic Compression should be setup, but you really need to be specific about what mimeTypes will be compressed. Back in IIS Manager, go to the page for the SERVER, not the SITE. Click on Configuration Editor: From the dropdown, select system.webServer/httpCompression: Then click on Dynamic Types and now that you're in the list editor, think about what types you want compressed. By default */* is False, but you could just turn that on. I chose to be a little more picky and added application/atom+xml, application/json, and application/atom+xml;charset=utf-8 as seen below. It's a little gotcha that application/atom+xml and application/atom+xml;charset=utf-8 are separate entries. Feel free to add what ever mimeTypes you like in here. After you've added them and closed the dialog, be sure to click Apply and Restart your IIS Service to load the new module. GUIs suck! Command Lines Rule! If you find all this clicking and screenshots offensive, then do it all from the command line using AppCmd for IIS7. That's lovely also. appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /+"dynamicTypes.[mimeType='application/json',enabled='True']" /commit:apphostappcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /+"dynamicTypes.[mimeType='application/atom%u002bxml',enabled='True']" /commit:apphostappcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /+"dynamicTypes.[mimeType='application/atom%u002bxml;charset=utf-8',enabled='True']" /commit:apphost Do check your ApplicationHost.config after running this command. See how we had to escape the "+" in "atom+xml" above and made it "atom%u002bxml"? Make sure that + got into your applicationHost.config unescaped. It should look like this in the System.webServer/httpCompression section. Now, use Fiddler to confirm that compression is turned on by sending a request with the header "Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate" included. Make sure that Fiddler's "AutoDecode" and Transforms are turned off if you really want to be sure you're looking at the raw stuff. Turning on Compression is a VERY low effort and VERY high reward thing to do on your servers, presuming they aren't already totally CPU-bound. If you're doing anything with phones or services over low-bandwidth 3G or EDGE networks, it's a total no brainer. Make sure you know what's compressed on your systems and what's not, and if not, why not. Be explicit and know what your system/sites HTTP Headers are doing. Compression is step 0 in service optimization. I think I mentioned this in 2004. :) Enjoy! « Modifying the default code generation/sc... | Blog Home | Hanselminutes Podcast 258 - Inside Entit... » About Scott Scott Hanselman is a former professor, former Chief Architect in finance, now speaker, consultant, father, diabetic, and Microsoft employee.

This guide will show you how run Node.js as a service, so your apps will automatically restart when the server is rebooted or if there is a failure.
Your application server will run Node.js applications managed by PM2, while your web server will provide users with access to the application via an NGINX reverse proxy to the application server.
This guide uses two Ubuntu servers. We will refer to these servers by the following names:
- App: The server where we will install your Node.js application, Node.js runtime, and PM2.
- Web: This is where we will install the NGINX web server, which will act as a reverse proxy to your application. Users will use the web server's public IP address or domain to get to your Node.js application.
Install Node.js
This section is completed on your App server.
- Update your apt packages:
sudo apt-get update
- Install git.
sudo apt-get install git
- Copy the download link for Node.js from the Node.js Downloads page. Locate the 64-bit Linux Binaries (.tar.xz) download link. Right-click the link and copy it to your clipboard.
- Change to your home directory.
cd ~
- Type in wget and paste the download link in place of the highlighted URL below:
wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v6.9.1/node-v6.9.1-linux-x64.tar.xz
- Create a directory for Node.js.
mkdir node
- Extract the archive you downloaded into the node directory:
tar xvf node-v*.tar.xz --strip-components=1 -C ./node
- Create an etc folder in the node folder.
mkdir node/etc
- Configure npm's global prefix. Npm will create symbolic links to installed Node.js packages, to your default path. Set the path to /usr/local:
echo 'prefix=/usr/local' > node/etc/npmrc
- Move the npm and Node.js binaries to the /opt/node install location:
sudo mv node /opt/
- Make root the owner of the file:
sudo chown -R root: /opt/node
- Create symbolic links of the Node.js and npm binaries in the default path:
sudo ln -s /opt/node/bin/node /usr/local/bin/node
sudo ln -s /opt/node/bin/npm /usr/local/bin/npm
- Save and close the file.
- You can verify if Node.js is installed by checking its version:
node -v
Note: If the version is displayed, Node.js's runtime is now installed and ready to run an application.
Create a Node.js Application
We will create a simple application that returns "Hello World" to any incoming HTTP requests. This is merely a sample application that's going to help you get Node.js set up. You can replace it with your own application, and modify the application to listen on the correct IP addresses and ports.
- Find your App server's Public IP address. Your App server's Public IP address can be found in Cloud Servers under the IP & DNS tab. Find your server's IP.
- Create and edit your Node.js application. In our example, we will edit a sample application called hello.js.
cd ~
vim hello.js
- Insert the code below into your the hello.js file. Make sure to replace the app server's Public IP address for both of highlighted APP_SERVER_PRIVATE_IP:8080 items. You may also need to replace the highlighted port, 8080, in both locations if you're using different ports, but make sure to use a non-admin port like 1024 or greater:
var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function (req, res){
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
res.end('Hello World\n');
}).listen(8080, 'APP_SERVER_PUBLIC_IP');
console.log('Server running at http://APP_SERVER_PUBLIC_IP_ADDRESS:8080/');
- Save and exit.
- Test your application on your app server:
node hello.js
- Test your application by opening http://YOUR_APP_SERVER_IP:8080 in a browser window, using your own public IP.
- If you receive the "Hello World" output, your application is working properly.
- If you received an incorrect output, make sure your Node.js application is both running and also configured to listen on the correct IP address and port.
- Navigate back to your home directory and re-open your hello.js file with vim.
cd ~
vim hello.js
- Replace the app server's Public IP address for both of highlighted APP_SERVER_PRIVATE_IP:8080 items with your app server's Private IP address.
var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
res.end('Hello World\n');
}).listen(8080, 'APP_SERVER_PRIVATE_IP');
console.log('Server running at http://APP_SERVER_PRIVATE_IP_ADDRESS:8080/');
- Save and exit.
This Node.js application will listen on the specified port and IP addresses and return "Hello World" with a 200 HTTP success code.
Test the Application (Optional)
Note: Running Node.js in this way will block additional commands until the application is terminated by pressing CTRL+C.
Note: Kill the application by pressing CTRL+C on your app server.
Set your Node.js application to use your Private IP address.
Now that we have confirmed the application is working properly, we need to switch the hello.js IPs from the app server's public IP to the private IP. Your App server's Private IP address can be found in Cloud Servers under the IP & DNS tab. Find a server's private IP address.
Install and configure PM2
We will use PM2 to manage Node.js applications. PM2 makes it easy to automate and manage applications by running them as a service.
- Use Node.js Packaged Modules (NPM) to install PM2 on our app server. Npm is a package manager for installing Node.js modules.
sudo npm install pm2 -g
- Start the application with PM2 so that it runs in the background:
pm2 start hello.js
- Run Pm2 startup.
sudo pm2 startup systemd
Manage Application with PM2
Your application will be added to PM2's process list, which will be displayed each time you start an application:
Here's an example output:
As you probably noticed, PM2 automatically assigns an App name that's based on the filename and PM2 id. PM2 also maintains information such as the PID of the process, memory usage and the current status.
Note: If an application that is running under PM2 crashes or is killed, it will be automatically restarted. However, additional steps are necessary to get the application to launch on system startup (boot or reboot). Fortunately, PM2 makes it easy with the startup subcommand.
The startup subcommand creates and configures a startup script that launches PM2 and its managed processes when the server boots. It's also important to specify the init system you're running. Since we are on a Ubuntu server, it's systemd.
You should see output like the following, which indicates that the pm2 service has been installed.
[PM2] Generating system init script in /etc/systemd/system/pm2.service
[PM2] Making script booting at startup...
[PM2] -systemd- Using the command:
su root -c "pm2 dump & pm2 kill" & su root -c "systemctl daemon-reload & systemctl enable pm2 & systemctl start pm2"
[PM2] Dumping processes
[PM2] Stopping PM2...
[PM2] All processes have been stopped and deleted
[PM2] PM2 stopped
[PM2] Done.
Your application should now start automatically upon server boot.
Other PM2 Usage (Optional)
PM2 provides quite a few subcommands that allow you to look up or manage information about your Node.js applications. If you run PM2 without any arguments, it will display a help page. The help page provides usage examples that covers PM2 usage in greater detail if needed.
- If you wish to stop an application, you can use the stop command. Make sure to specify the PM2 Id or App name.
$ pm2 stop App or ID
- Restart the application. Be sure to indicate the app name or ID.
pm2 restart App or ID
- YList the applications currently managed by PM2:
$ pm2 list
- By using the info subcommand, you can find more information about a specific application. Make sure you specify the PM2 id or App name in place of the highlighted portion:
pm2 info App or ID
- You can pull up the PM2 process monitor by using the monit subcommand. This will show you metrics such as memory usage, CPU usage and application status:
sudo apt-get update pm2 monit
Set up the Reverse Proxy Server with NGINX
Now that we have established that your Node.js application is running and listening on the Private address, we now need a way for users to access it on the web. To do this, we will set up an NGINX web server as a reverse proxy, which will allow access for our users. This section will be done on the Web server.
- Update your packages:
sudo apt-get update
- Install NGINX:
sudo apt-get install nginx
- Open the NGINX server block configuration file:
sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
- Add the server's Private IP address for the APP_SERVER_PRIVATE_IP portion. Additionally, change the port (8080) if you set up your application is set to listen on a different port. Locate the line where / is defined starting with the default server block. It should look something like this:
- NGINX location block before edit:
location / {
- NGINX location block after edit:
location / {
proxy_pass http://APP_SERVER_PRIVATE_IP:8080;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
- Restart NGINX on your Web server:
sudo service nginx restart
Note: Using this configuration allows the Web Server to respond to requests at its root. As long as our server is available at example.com, accessing http://example.com/ through a web browser will send the requests to the application server's Public IP address on port 8080. Once this request is received, Node.js will reply to the request.
As long as your application and NGINX configurations are correct, and your Node.js application is running, you should be able to access your application through the reverse proxy of the web server. You can test it by accessing your web server's URL. This will either be its public IP, or a domain if a domain has been setup.
If you see the Hello World message in your browser, your installation and configuration were successful.
Your Node.js application is now running behind an NGINX reverse proxy on your Ubuntu servers. By using this reverse proxy method, you have the flexibility to provide users with access to other applications or even static web content.

Paper accepted at ESANN 2012
wednesday 01 february 2012
We (N. Thome, M. Cord, A. Rakotomamonjy and me) received the notification of acceptance for a poster presentation at ESANN 2012. This work is on learning product combinations of kernels.
The sketch is as follows: suppose you have several types of features and signatures leading to a variety of kernels (typically Gaussian kernels). This is quiet a common scheme in Computer Vision. You might want to combine them, and usually people use MKL approaches (i.e. a weighted sum of kernel). However, in most cases these kernels are redundant, and you would better do a product combination of these (think of the different scales in Spatial Pyramid or different scales of the same descriptors). The product is like an 'AND' gate while the sum more like an 'OR' gate, thus if your features are redundant, the product is more likely to denoise than the sum.
The bad thing about this product counterpart of MKL is that it is non-convex (we have a nice proof about this). So we proposed and algorithm finding a local optimum. While this might not be the best combination possible, it is sufficiently robust in practice to remove non-informative kernels. The good thing is that it also performs the kernels parametrization without any need for cross-validation.
Once I've cleaned the paper of all remaining typos and corrections as suggested by the reviewers, I'll put the code online.

* November 15 - 21
Jonah, the Amazing Evangelist
JONAH ARRIVES IN THE Assyrian capital city of Nineveh. He proclaims the announcement that God has given him. What happens in the city is remarkable. We find a picture of true repentance from people whom we would not expect to be repentant. In fact, their repentance far exceeds anything seen so far in the prophet Jonah.
What accounted for' this remarkable turnaround? The text really doesn't say. When we consider that conversion is personal and often rare, the fact that a whole city of pagans undergoes such an experience is amazing. No doubt here, as in many Bible narratives, a lot of details are missing; thus, we can go only with what we have, which is enough to give us another view of God's love toward sinners.
THE WEEK AT A GLANCE: What was the essence of Jonah's message? What didn't Jonah's message say? How long were the people given before judgment would fall? How did the people respond? How did the king respond? In what ways does their action reveal the link between faith and works?
What lessons can we, as a church, learn about faith, repentance, and obedience from the experience of the Ninevites?
MEMORY TEXT: " 'So shall My word be which goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it' " (Isaiah 55:11, NASB).
*Please study this weeks lesson to prepare for Sabbath, November 22.
Sunday November 16
"And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown" (Jon. 3:4).
It would be fascinating to have Jonah's sermon outlines or sermon notes; that is, to know what Jonah preached that had such a powerful impact upon this pagan nation.
All we know is what we have been told here in the text, and notice, according to the text, what his sermon notes probably didn't contain. He wasn't preaching monotheism (that there is only one God) or about God's infinite love or about the hope and promise of eternity. Nor was Jonah commissioned to seek ecumenical unity. Instead, Jonah had one specific message for the Ninevites. Turn from your evil ways or face divine judgment.
What did Jonah specifically warn them about? Jon. 3:4.
Judgment is a key theme in the Bible; it's as pervasive in Scripture as is the theme of salvation, which makes sense, because both concepts are related. For the wicked, judgment leads to death and destruction; for the righteous, judgment promises vindication, justice, and salvation. Either way, in the end, no oneneither the righteous nor the wickedescape judgment.
The concept of judgment appears in various ways in Scripture. Look up these texts. Taken together, what do they tell us about judgment? Gen. 15:14; Pss. 1:5; 19:9; Eccles. 3:17; 12:14; Dan. 7:22; Luke 21:36; John 12:47; Acts 17:31; 1 John 4:17; Rev. 20:12.
Theologians say that God's last word isn't judgment but salvation. Look at John 12:47: Here is the essence behind all God's judgments, which is His desire to save. He judged Egypt only after its continued rebellion; He judged the world with the Flood only after people refused to hearken to His words; and even now, with Nineveh, He uses the warning of judgment in order to save them. In other words, He threatens them with destruction as a means of preserving them.
|Though we don't have the details of what Jonah presented to the Ninevites, why did it appear to be a gloom-and-doom message? Unless you obey, you will be destroyed. How do we reconcile that idea with the notion of God wanting us to serve Him only out of love, not fear?
How long does God give the Ninevites before the city will be overturned? In what other instances is that same number used? Gen. 7:17; Exod. 24:18; Num. 14:33, 34; Matt. 4:2; Mark 1:13; Luke 4:2; Acts 1:3. Are there any parallels to the uses of that number in these texts and what happens here in the book of Jonah? If so, what are they?
Whatever Jonah said, in detail, to these people, there's no question: It worked. The phrase in Jonah 3:5 "from the greatest of them even to the least of them" (literally, "from their greatest to their least") is a common way to express totality in Hebrew. The entire city of wicked Gentiles accepts what Jonah says about judgment as the truth.
As we saw with the pagan mariners of chapter 1, here again non-Israelites turn to the God of heaven. The notoriously wicked pagan citizenry of Nineveh accept Jonah's judgment message with all seriousness. They believe he is proclaiming the words of God.
When Jonah presents the dire warning to the city of Nineveh, what is the astonishing result? Jon. 3:5.
Notice, the Ninevites didn't just believe Jonah; they believed God (Jon. 3:5). In this case, worshipers of other gods are not necessarily unaware of or resistant to the one supreme Deity and Judge, and when confronted with His word, they respond.
In this case, the Ninevites accept that the threatened judgment is deserved. This reminds us of the biblical perspective that there is in each person, whether a pagan or a believer, a conscience that can be touched by the power of God.
|Look again at Jonah 3:5. The people "believed God." The Hebrew word there for "believed" comes from the same Hebrew word found in Genesis 15:6, regarding Abraham and his faith . Though the book of Jonah isn't talking about any kind of deep Pauline conception of justification by faith, it still, nevertheless, stressed their belief. Do you think this "belief," as expressed here in Jonah, is the same thing as faith, as commonly understood in Christianity? (See also Heb 11:6) Give reasons for your answer.
The Ninevites admit the divine judgment is deserved. And they display their conviction through outward signs of repentance: fasting and wearing sackcloth. This self-humiliation is a means of expressing submission to God. When we think of all the work often needed to bring one soul to genuine repentance, it's amazing here to see a whole city (pagans, no less) doing it, as well.
Who else besides the general population heard the call to judgment? Jon. 3:6.
The kings of these ancient Near Eastern nations weren't known for their humility or attitude of repentance, especially before a "foreign" God. However, something powerful happened to this one here.
The title "king of Nineveh" would more generally be described as the "king of Assyria." But Assyria is never mentioned in the book. Thus, the writer underscores how the book of Jonah is concerned specifically with Nineveh. This also accords with the accepted practice of permitting the name of a chief city to stand for a country in written documents. In the city of Nineveh, we find the king including himself in the earnest supplication of God.
What does the king do in response to Jonah's message?
Notice the movement of the unnamed king. He goes from sitting on a throne and wearing his royal robe to being covered in sackcloth and sitting in ashes. From a throne to ashes, from a royal robe to sackcloth. If this doesn't sound like true repentance, what does?
This heathen ruler does not use modem techniques of denying culpability. He has been wrong, and he is honest enough to admit it. Far from considering himself in a category apart from the morality of the citizenry of Nineveh, the king sets an example to his people by acknowledging his own need to repent. He does not doubt that God is right to be angry with Nineveh. And thus, this pagan king repents before the King of kings.
|However dramatic the king's example, what happened to him that needs to happen to all those who would become true followers of the Lord? Why, in a sense, does what happened to the king need to happen to us every day? (See Luke 18:13; 1 Cor. 15:31; Col. 2:6.)
What is the remarkable pronouncement the king then issues? Jon. 3:7-9.
A fast is one thing; to not drink is another. And when one usually thinks of a fast, one doesn't usually think of it applying to animals, as well. However, for whatever reasons, even the beasts aren't to eat or to drink. Whether the Lord required that or not is questionable. What isn't questionable is that the Ninevites take Jonah's words very seriously. Also, mention of flocks and herds suggests that the heralds journey beyond the city walls to the rural areas generally surrounding major walled cities then.
What else does the king urge the people to do? Jon. 3:8.
The king urges the Ninevites to "call insistently/mightily to God" in earnest prayer. Both humans and animals are to be clothed in sackcloth, the garb of penitence. Sackcloth expresses witness for grief of sin that makes a person vile. Wearing it gives evidence of the bankrupt state that sin brings. Its coarseness reminds the wearer of the vulgarity of transgression. It prompts remembrance as to how a sinner appears in the presence of a holy God. The ashes speak of the fire that consumes and what the ultimate end of sin will be.
What further action does the king urge upon the people of Nineveh? Jon. 3:8.
Note the striking picture of a pagan king urging pagan people to call upon God earnestly (the pagan sailors had done this already). The king also singles out a particular vice prevalent in Nineveh. Of all the spectrum of evils that could have been cited, the king singles out violence. God had not been mistaken in His call to judgment. Violence was a characteristic of the Assyrians. It still is graphically visible in carefully carved granite panels archaeologists have found, that portray Assyrian violence in military conquests. The king himself readily acknowledges the violent nature of Nineveh's culture.
Why is the call to change their actions so important here? The people believed God (faith), and they covered themselves in sackcloth and fasted (repentance). But what would their repentance have meant if they didn't change their ways, as well?
What urgent motivation does the king now add to his proclamation? Jon. 3:9.
The king realizes that forgiveness for their sin was dependent upon the mercy of the great God of heaven and earth. The king
is as perceptive as is the sea captain during the terrifying storm in chapter 1, when he implores Jonah to pray: " 'Arise, call on your God; perhaps your God will consider us, so that we may not perish" (Jon. 1:6, NKJV, emphasis supplied). Notice how this parallels what the king himself is thinking (Jon. 3:9). In both cases, neither the king nor the sea captain are sure what is going to happen; in both cases, they rely totally on the mercy of a God more powerful than they. And in both cases, only by God's grace do they have any chance at all.
What was it about their actions that causes God to "repent" (actually, the Hebrew word often, and unfortunately, translated "repent" carries with it the idea of "feeling compassion")? In other words, of all the things the previous texts say the Ninevites did (believed, fasted, put on sackcloth, had their animals fast), what does the text specify that the Lord "saw," which causes Him not to do what He said He would do? What point should that make for us? (See also James 2:2-26.)
How is the depth of their repentance later recalled? Matt. 12:41.
Their repentance is later mentioned by Jesus. Jonah's own people, the Israelites, despite their special covenant relationship with God, don't have this same kind of corporate experience. Ultimately, they fail to repent and, therefore, experience judgment.
We are thus reminded once again that God deals with all humanity on the same basis, without partiality. Ultimately, both Nineveh and Jerusalem are destroyed. God deals evenly with the human race.
It is remarkable and sadly ironic how much more trouble God has had with Jonah, one of His own people, than with the worst of the heathen world! How amazing the willingness of the Ninevites to turn away from and forsake their evil ways. What specific lesson should we, as Seventh-day Adventists, learn from this point? Is not there some Jonah in us, as well?

Nineveh, wicked though it had become, was not wholly given over to evil. He who 'beholdeth all the sons of men' (Psalm 33:13). . . perceived in that city many who were reaching out after something better and higher. . . . God revealed Himself to them in an unmistakable manner, to lead them, if possible, to repentance."Ellen G. White, Conflict and Courage, p. 230.
" 'And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent.' In the ages of darkness that had preceded the advent of Christ, the divine Ruler had passed lightly over the idolatry of the heathen; but now, through His Son, He had sent men the light of truth; and He expected from all repentance unto salvation, not only from the poor and humble, but from the proud philosopher and the princes of the earth. 'Because He hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that Man whom He hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance unto all men, in that He hath raised Him from the dead.' As Paul spoke of the resurrection from the dead, 'some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.' "Ellen G. White, The Acts of the Apostles, p. 239.
"The pardon granted by this king represents a divine forgiveness of all sin. Christ is represented by the king, who, moved with compassion, forgave the debt of his servant. Man was under the condemnation of the broken law. He could not save himself, and for this reason Christ came to this world."Ellen G. White, Christ's Object Lessons, p. 244.
SUMMARY: The Ninevites bring forth fruits worthy of repentance. What a lesson for those quick to judge the spiritual state of others.
J. H. Zachary
Willie and Charlotte Walkus are native Americans living on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. They had let alcoholism rob them of a meaningful life, dignity, and happiness. "For 20 years I lived only for the next drink," Willie said. "I slept wherever I could find shelter, often on the city streets."
Charlotte remained at home with their children, but she, too, struggled with alcohol. "I often verbally and physically abused my children when I was drunk," she admits.
In sober moments Willie remembered his godly grandfather, who prayed every day. "I knew that there was a God somewhere, but I did not know where to find him," Willie said.
Willie had a Christian aunt who fasted and prayed for him. One day while the aunt was praying, Willie reached for a bottle of alcohol and held it to his lips, "but I could not swallow," he said. Then a strange sensation moved through his body, and he became paralyzed; he could not even speak. Someone called an ambulance, and Willie was rushed to the hospital. He thought he would die there.
Lying in the hospital, Willie prayed, "God, if you are there, please help me. I will serve you the rest of my life." God saved Willie's life. But Willie returned to the streets and soon was drinking again.
Willie realized that in his own strength he could never keep his promise to God. One day he prayed a different prayer, "Lord, I am yours, please help me." About the same time Charlotte also turned her life over to God.
The couple began attending the Adventist church and started on the long journey of spiritual growth. "Our lives have been totally changed," she says. "God has freed me from evil habits, made me a better mother and a good example to my children." The transformed Walkus family is a powerful example to others of what Jesus can do in their own lives.
"My family has felt the precious love of God," Willie said. "I want everyone to know that no matter who you are or how far you have fallen into sin, God will hear your cry and come to help."

Going semi-vegan: a resolution with no downside.
Among your other resolutions — do more good? make more money? — you've probably made the annual pledge to eat better, although this concept may be more often reduced simply to "lose some weight." The weight-loss obsession is both a national need and a neurotic urge (those last five pounds really don't matter, either cosmetically or medically). But most of us do need to eat "better."
If defining this betterness has become increasingly more difficult (half the diet books that spilled over my desk in December focused on going gluten-free), the core of the answer is known to everyone: eat more plants. And if the diet that most starkly represents this — veganism — is no longer considered bizarre or unreasonably spartan, neither is it exactly mainstream. (For the record, vegans don't simply avoid meat; they eschew all animal products, including dairy, eggs and even honey.)
Many vegan dishes, however, are already beloved: we eat fruit salad, peanut butter and jelly, beans and rice, eggplant in garlic sauce. The problem faced by many of us — brought up as we were with plates whose center was filled with a piece of an animal — is in imagining less-traditional vegan dishes that are creative, filling, interesting and not especially challenging to either put together or enjoy.
My point here is to make semi-veganism work for you. Once a week, let bean burgers stand in for hamburgers, leave the meat out of your pasta sauce, make a risotto the likes of which you've probably never had — and you may just find yourself eating "better."
These recipes serve about four, and in all, the addition of salt and pepper is taken for granted. This is not a gimmick or even a diet. It's a path, and the smart resolution might be to get on it.
