Tributes to treble winners Hendon United
Managers from the Premier Division give their verdict on treble winners and JC MSFL champions Hendon United Sports Club A.
"Hendon were the strongest, toughest and most organised team in the league. They are big, powerful, well-drilled and tough to break down. They are hard-working and never give up. However, the best side we came up against was definitely Redbridge."
Josh Rosenfeld (Brady A)
"This wasn't the best Hendon side I have seen. I think Jonathan Kestenbaum's 2009 league-winning side were definitely stronger. This season's team were more organised than any other side in the division. As I said, if you managed to get a consistent side out every week you had a chance and Hendon managed to do that. Organisation and consistency made them stand out but nothing else. Greg Corin probably was the difference."
Darren Yarlett ( Neasden A)
"Hendon fully deserve all their success this year. They have been the model of consistency this season and have strength in depth throughout their squad. David had them all playing for each other and they had a good team spirit. Their fitness levels were also very impressive, as was the fact they won the league so comfortably. Clearly it's no fluke to win the treble and they should be commended on a tremendous season."
Josh Newman (Lions A)
"Hendon were one of the most organised teams we played. Their strengths were having a big squad every week and being strong at the back. I think they had a good momentum and a combination of these factors did them no harm."

I have 2 groups of different contacts on 2 copies of Outlook. There's a lot of overlapping between my partner contacts and mine, and I'd like to have a single, centralized repository. I was thinking of using Google contacts for this.
Is there a way or tool to merge theses contacts, remove duplicates and resolve inconstancies without losing data?

In the view of this Seahawks fan, it seems like Harbaugh slowed the future of Jenkins (and depending on how Jenkins feels, possibly even ruined him for the team in a worst case scenario) to stick with a veteran solely for the "win now" aspect. Even if he WAS that bad in practices throughout the year, (doubtful, frankly) the learning experience in real games would surely have helped him a lot. Particularly if he had to go up against our secondary a couple of times. If his problem was rookie ego, he'd have been humbled right quickly.
I'll be curious to see what happens with him in the 49ers training camp/pre-season/regular season. The decision to keep him off the field for the year might have cost you guys the Super Bowl. (Obviously, there's never just one thing that causes a win or a loss, but there are typically a couple of things you can point to that would have made a difference in the W/L column.)

Today we start our look back at the year that was 2007 from the perspective of the car buyer, shopper and enthusiast. Over the next few weeks, we'll give a brief overview of what happened and what impact the news of the day had on the year overall. Each day we'll highlight a different month leading up to the new year. Tell us what your favorite happenings were in the comments below.
January always starts the year in cars off with a bang in Detroit with the annual North American International Auto Show. It showed off some great cars this year, including the new Chevy Malibu, Cadillac CTS and Nissan Rogue, but the show was stolen by the plug-in hybrid Chevy Volt concept car, which we would hear about throughout 2007.
From there, things just kept getting more and more interesting:

Premium quality Herm Sprenger Fillis Stirrup Irons have weighted bottoms and high-quality rubber grip pads. Pair.
The Herm Sprenger Offset Eye Stirrup helps the rider keep the stirrup footbed on the ball of the foot. Because it eliminates stirrup leather twisting, this offset stirrup design also helps with quick recovery of a lost iron.
Acavallo® Opera Stirrups help keep stirrup leathers flat against the saddle to encourage a consistent leg position and minimize friction on the rider's legs. Slightly angled, extra-large open grated stirrup pads offer grip and a wide weight bearing area to help reduce knee, hip or ankle tension. National flag decals are included for optional decoration. Pair.
In lightweight aluminum, Stübben STEELtec Maxi Grip Stirrups features ergonomically-formed, grated footbeds for security and grip. These Stübben stirrups also have a slightly angled branch to help keep foot and leg in the ideal position.
Kinko Stirrups by the makers of the original Jin Stirrups feature lightweight aluminum construction and a slightly smaller branch design. A slight angle to the footbed, combined with the grated tread, helps provide traction.

Concealment in Arma 2 - I did not know this.
Mostly obvious stuff but the bit about lowering your head causing you to "sink" into the grass - had no idea about this! Will definitely be using that a lot more in the near future.
This was also helpful.
Quality video :)
Red and I tested this last night. Here are our observations:
Very interesting - what it boils down to is that if on your screen you are hiding in grass - then someone looking at you from very far away (and thus the grass is invisible to them) then you (the person hiding) will sort of sink into the ground - from the perspective of the observer.
The taller the grass the more you sink in. Mind you this is just about grass, not bushes/etc.
If you are wearing an alice backpack - you're stuffed cause it will never sink in - no matter how good the grass is - your whole body might sink in but the alice pack will always stick out.
Exception to the above is the ghillie suit of course which shows no backpack.
Next: if you are moving, even if through tall grass, you sink in a lot less.Super tall/thick grass will cause you to sink in of course but never as much as being still.
Elevation of the observer appears to have little to no effect: I was on very high ground compared to Red when he sank in. If I was closer and the grass was in effect and this concealment mechanic was not in effect then he would be plainly visible to me - since my angle of observation was large enough to bypass the grass - ie I'd be looking at him from above almost.
Lastly, do not ever look up. :eek: You look like a seal doing salute to the sun yogga. Your upper body lifts up, your head going about half a meter into the air, with the business end of your gun about 1meter from the ground. When using grass for concealment, always look as low as possible and use alt-freelook for looking.
Regarding the Alice Pack. If you were needing to maximise concealment as your part a team's strategy then would the Czech Vest Pouch be of use? (I assume it is not visible on your back and it's size would put you in a specific role whereby others in your team would hold items necessary for your survival, and you would then just have the bare minimum due to your role at the time, e.g. covering a squad as they raid if you didn't have the ghillie suit)
I only say this as at present the existence of the chest pouch seems pointless (and probably still is) and you have seen that the alice pack makes it more difficult to be concealed (and does the 24 Coyote pack have the same problem?).
I was glancing through old threads and decided to bump this one for other players who might not know about some of the subtleties of concealment in DayZ.
I have a ghillie at the moment, so the issue of backpack exposure is not a problem :D
I'd like to know if there is an answer to deranger's question; re: the czech vest pouch. I've come across it a few times and wondered what the point of it was. If the benefit was added concealment in grass, then I can see it being of tactical use in the way deranger described.
Re vest pouch - it doesn't stick out of your back like a hump so it doesn't cause issues with concealment - that's the point/only advantage of that item.
Thanks :)
It'd be cool if you could wear the vest pouch and a backpack. I remember we used to occasionally do that in the army, i.e., have our webbing, main backpack and a day pack on the chest. We didn't do it all the time, just when we had a shit load of gear to carry (e.g., doing resupply runs) and deifnitely not when on patrol. The game makes enough concessions to carrying capacity (e.g., being able to carry an engine block).

YONGSAN GARRISON, Republic of Korea - Yongsan's Army Community Services Family Advocacy Program offered playgroups for interactive play for parents and children ages three and under at the School Age Services building Feb. 17.
Parents met other parents with children in the same age group while children played with new toys and participated in a variety of activities. The event helped children learn to play with other kids through sharing toys and participating in group activities together with their parents.
"Playgroups offer an informal forum to discuss parenting questions and concerns, as well as mini-seminars by community agencies such as Pediatric Dental, Women Infants and Children, and the Red Cross," said U.S. Army Garrison-Yongsan Family Advocacy Specialist Shana Lewis.
"Educational and Developmental Intervention Services also offers child developmental screenings at the ACS Playgroups twice a year," Lewis added. "The next EDIS screenings will be offered at the end of March. The Military and Family Life Consultant usually attends all ACS Playgroups in order to support Garrison families."
The ACS Family Advocacy Program welcomes parent involvement in playgroups, and mothers Leza Kotich and Iris Beca volunteer their time to assist in planning and facilitating the Yongsan Playgroup activities, said USAG-Y Family Advocacy Program Manager Luticia Trimble-Smith.
Their recent playgroup themes included Martin Luther King Jr. and Valentine's Day, and upcoming themes will recognize Dr. Seuss' Birthday and St. Patrick's Day. The latest theme was a celebration of Mardi Gras.
"Playgroups are extremely helpful," said Megumi Olson, mother of three year old Kailey. "It enhances my child's daily behavior in terms of interacting with others and sharing, participating in a group activity. Also, it is such a valuable time for me to be able to meet with other parents and share some knowledge and information today."
ACS Playgroups are free of charge, and are held the first, third and fifth weeks of every month at three different locations, including K-16, Hannam Village and Yongsan. For more information, contact the ACS Family Advocacy Program.

The glass is half full for Owens Corning (OI -1.2%) with soda companies (KO, PEP, DPS) continuing to see demand for glass bottle products increase at a faster rate than plastic ones. Though glass bottles only account for 2% of soda drink sales, the niche had higher profit margins while boosting sales at a respectable 4.5% clip last year. All three major soda companies say they will try moving more brands to glass.

That's great, because glass bottles:
1) are less harmful to the environment than plastic bottles
2) breakdown quicker after being thrown away
3) have no BPA (which is banned in Canada)
4) would mean less petroleum would be needed (plastic bottles use petroleum), and thus lower oil and maybe gas prices
Michael Bryant:
>> 3) have no BPA (which is banned in Canada)
thanks, saul.

"Purchasing behavior is the best predictor of purchasing behavior," said David Rich, vice president, MasterCard Information Solutions, MasterCard Advisors, who discussed the challenges of marketing to the Millennial generation, or those aged between 16 and 33.
According to the U.K.'s Office of National Statistics, there are 15 million Millennials in the U.K., and they outnumber baby boomers. In the U.S. there are 78 million, and they too are greater in number than the boomers.
This story first appeared in the July 17, 2013 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Rich referenced a Boston Consulting Group study of the Millennials that broke them down into six subcategories, showing that a one-size-fits-all approach will not always be successful in targeting this, or for that matter, any other generation.
"When you are looking through your purchasing data, it ought to drive some insights. "Where is your customer spending outside of your brand? Are they spending more or less with the competition? Are they loyal?" he asked.
"Being able to identify that is a real key aspect of how you might want to identify cross-sell activity, retention activity; it might help frame the type of promotion you want to provide, to whom you might want to promote that and at what price point. This is about driving up ROI."
Rich added that understanding purchasing behavior will help "to capture the share of the wallet you need from your customer base as they shift and change. The Millennials will grow up, and the technology available to them is not going to stay the same. The way you need to interact with them is not going to stay static either."

The Major Components and Principles of Behaviorism
Behaviorism is a way of learning where the desired correct response is developed through repetition with positive reinforcement. The ultimate goal of the desired learning starts from a simple beginning and repeats, incorporating positive reinforcement, until the student gives the correct response (conditioning). The educator then builds on that knowledge through additional goal setting. (http://www.reading.org/Library/Retrieve.cfm?D=10.1598/RRQ.40.2.2&F=RRQ-40-2-Mathes_3.html).
|Pavlov's Dog Cartoon
Behaviorism dismisses the inner experiences in learning and it focuses on learning as nothing more than gaining a new and observable behavior. In order to teach using behaviorism instructions, teachers condition the students using two major forms of conditioning, classical or operant condtioning. Classical conditioning is a technique used in behavioral training in which a naturally occurring stimulus is paired with a response. Next, a previously neutral stimulus is paired with the naturally occurring stimulus. Eventually, the previously neutral stimulus comes to evoke the response without the presence of the naturally occurring stimulus. The two elements are then known as the conditioned stimulus and the conditioned response. http://psychology.about.com/od/behavioralpsychology/f/behaviorism.htm</span>
For classical conditioning, think of Pavlov's dog experiement or view the scene from the show The Office.
The Office - The Jim Trains Dwight
In both examples, the subject is conditioned to respond to a stimulus that evokes a response.
For operant conditioning, students are taught using a system of rewards and punishments. Operant conditioning (sometimes referred to as instrumental conditioning) is a method of learning that occurs through rewards and punishments for behavior. Through operant conditioning, an association is made between a behavior and a consequence for that behavior.
Behaviorism works by forming the student's behavior a certain way by using outside stimulus. This stimulus encourages a certain behavior. When that certain behavior happens again, a certain event can be expected to occur. If the certain behavior does not happen, the expected event will also not happen.
To summarize, the main principles that Skinner and current behaviorists believe for learners are the following:
1. Behavior that is positively reinforced will reoccur; intermittent reinforcement is particularly effective.
2. Information should be presented in small amounts so that responses can be reinforced ("shaping").
3. Reinforcement will generalize across similar stimuli ("stimulus generalization") producing secondary conditioning.

What Behaviorist Teachers DoIn the simplest terms, teachers who employ behaviorist theories give negative responses to unwanted behaviors and they provide positive rewards for desired behaviors. This may be the classroom with which most people are familiar. "A behaviorist classroom is structured and has prepared lesson plans each day. The student usually sits in an assigned seat and listens to the lesson taught by the teacher, along with the rest of his classmates." (McREL, 2006) It is teacher directed with the teacher in the role of expert, passing information along to students. Education may be seen as a series of steps that lead a student to understanding.
The behaviorist classroom relies in part upon operant conditioning which utilizes positive reinforcement as a way of increasing the likelihood of repeating desired behaviors. For this kind of approach to be effective it must be used consistently and correctly. "Research indicates that reinforcing appropriate classroom behaviors, such as paying attention and treating classmates well, decreases misbehavior (Elliot & Busse, 1991), and behaviorist classroom management techniques are often effective when others are not." "Behavioral instruction is primarily "teacher-centered" as opposed to "learner-driven." The true behaviorist teacher believes that learning is passive and that students must learn the correct response. The reinforcement for that correct response must be swift and appropriate. Knowledge according to a behaviorist teacher is a matter of remembering rather than acquiring information. Understanding on the part of the learner would simply be a matter of recognizing existing patterns." (Spearfish School district, 2001)
One of the benefits of this kind of learning is that objectives are clear and over time the learner responds automatically to the stimulus. A problem with this kind of learning is that it is merely conditioning, not true learning. Some argue that it does not encourage problem solving. (Mergel, 1998) In addition, for behaviorism to be effective the correct stimulus needed to elicit a desired response must be provided. This can be complicated in the classroom. The teacher must understand what stimulus will be deemed positive by any given student and there must be no other stimulus that may be interpreted as a positive or reinforcement of the behavior.
If the student/teacher dynamic is one in which a student engages in behaviors intended to gain attention, he or she may display undesired or maladaptive behavior in an attempt to gain the teacher's attention. This scenario is familiar to everyone who has attended school. A student disrupts class only to have a teacher reprimand him/her. The student has actually received what was desired—the teacher's attention. It does not matter that the attention was not positive. In this situation, which illustrates a learned response, a teacher may chose to ignore the maladaptive behavior. This removes the positive reinforcer, in this case the teacher's attention. If the student would be satisfied with the attention of others in lieu of the teacher, all people who may come in contact with the student must understand and agree to ignore the behavior. Without compliance by all who are in contact with the student, ignoring problem behavior will not end it.
What Students Do When Learning Using Behaviorism
An oversimplification of what students do when learning in a behaviorist classroom is that they associate particular behaviors with positive outcomes and avoid other behaviors because the elicit negative consequences.
Students in a behaviorist classroom are viewed as members of an audience with the teacher as the performer. The teacher possesses knowledge which will be passed on to the student. Students listen to lectures, complete worksheets, spend time on drills including software focusing on spelling words, math facts, and vocabulary words. Correct answers are rewarded immediately and consistently. Both acheivment and learning are directed by consequences of student behavior. Students want positive reinforcement, good grades, and they work to achieve them. Classroom behavior is controlled in the same way. Students receive negative responses, such as detention, missing recess, etc., to undesirable behaviors. Negative reinforcement, the removal of the punishments, is also a motivator.
Behavior modification has been implemented in schools with success. A popular way to do so is the contract between a student and teachers. Behavior contracts identify targeted undesirable behaviors, identify a reward for the student avoiding the behavior and also identify a consequence if the child continues to engage in the undesirable behavior. The specific time period during which the contract is enforced is also stated.
Another approach is based on classical conditioning where two events repeatedly occur close together and receive a positive response. The student comes to associate these two events and accepts that his action will continue to produce the desired response or reaction. Teachers may offer rewards such as stickers or candy for desired behaviors or good grades. The student comes to associate his/her behavior with a positive outcome. This type of conditioning is also the basis of animal training. Rewards are consistent and immediate.
Below is a chart comparing the possible results of positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, extinction and punishment. It indicates a behavior, the reaction of the teacher and what the reaction of the student could be to how the teacher handles the situation.

Examples of Behaviorist Lessons
This type of learning can also be used for more than just behavior modification. Lesson plans can be created using the behaviorist approach. Below are two examples. This behaviorist lesson plan model incorporates direct instruction. The goal is to have the students master the facts and the students are trained for success by having correct answers. The environment and reinforcement (both negative and positive) are emphasized. The first example is an eight step design for a lesson plan based on behaviorism. Following the eight steps is a lesson plan design based on the principles of the learning theory.
The following two examples (eight step design and design format):
(source http://faculty.mdc.edu/jmcnair/EME2040/behaviorist_lesson_plan1.htm )
Here is the eight step design:
1. Purpose/Objective – The purpose of today's lesson, why the students need to learn it. What they will be able to "do", and how they will show learning as a result are made clear by the teacher.
2. Anticipatory Set (focus) – A short activity or prompt that focuses the students' attention before the actual lesson begins. Used when students enter the room or in a transition. A hand-out given to students at the door, review question written on the board, "two problems" on the overhead are example of AS.
3. Input – The vocabulary, skills and concepts the teacher will impart to the students – the "stuff" the kids need to know in order to be successful placed in the sequence of the lesson.
4. Modeling (show) – The teacher shows in graphic form or demonstrates what the finished product looks like – a picture worth a thousand words.
5. Guided Practice (follow me) – The teacher leads the students through the steps necessary to perform the skill using the trimodal approach – hear/see/do.
6. Checking for Understanding (CFU) – The teacher uses a variety of questioning strategies to determine "Got it yet?" and to pace the lesson – move forward?/back up?
7. Independent Practice – The teacher releases students to practice on their own base on #3 - #6.
8. Closure – A review or wrap-up of the lesson – "Tell me/show me what you have learned today."
Below is a design format based upon the principles:
Instructor: (insert your name)
Date: (filled in weekly, leaving out holidays, including testing dates)
Unit/Title: (the title)
Objectives: (Outcomes. What the students should be able to perform, most curriculum specialists recommend no more than four. If necessary, tie into mandated objectives. Sometimes you can pull this straight from the teacher textbook.)
Standards: (Local, state, national and perhaps standardized test standards – these should tie in directly to your syllabus. Maybe list three or four standards. If you can't find the standard to fit the lesson plan, then you should rethink the lesson objective.)
Materials: (all, and include page numbers if you have time.)
Anticipatory Set: (How the lessons begins, pretest, Q&A, video, lecture. Perhaps begin by showing the students the objectives and the standards, then relate to other subjects or state tests.)
Input: (The sequence of the lesson.)
Modeling: (The examples used throughout the course – teacher created, behavior you wish students to imitate.)
Guided Practice: (Activities done with the class, individual, group, or class work. List these activities.)
Check for understanding: (How you verify the students are on task and beginning to learn – oral response to questions, homework, class work – not necessarily grade-related.)
Independent Practice: (Student does work on own such as seat work, presentation, homework. Use this to verify progress or justify remediation/ enrichment. List these activities.)
Closure:** (A review or wrap-up of the lesson; an explanation of what will be studied next.)

Fallen Warriors Remind of Roosevelt Leaks
Victory in adversity
By Joe O'Connell,
2:40PM, Fri. Nov. 18, 2011
Instead of pondering how Texas will survive its last three football games of this schizophrenic rebuilding season without Fozzy Whittaker, whose UT tenure was ended by a knee injury, I keep thinking back to Roosevelt Leaks.
As a kid in the Seventies I watched Leaks plow through opposing teams. In 1974 he destroyed SMU for 342 yards in a 42-14 win and set a yardage record that would stand until Heisman-bound Ricky Williams racked up 350 yards against Iowa State in 1998. A high school dream name Earl Campbell watched that game, too. He saw the first African-American Longhorn superstar and started stocking up on burnt orange clothing.
Leaks finished third in Heisman balloting in '73 and the award looked to be his for the taking in '74. But a knee injury ended that dream (just like it did for Foswhitt "Fozzy" Whittaker last week early in what would become a heartbreaking loss to Missouri). Instead, in the '74 season freshman Campbell started carrying the ball and a few years later won the Heisman Trophy that would elude Leaks.
Flash to the present with Whittaker watching freshman studs Malcolm Brown and Joe Bergeron lighting up the field. He's dad to the precocious kids, encouraging, showing the youngsters how it's done. Yes, Fozzy did his part on the field with the precision of a surgeon. Together the threesome looked too good to believe. Then disaster struck. Fozzy's career is over from the demon that is the knee injury. Brown and Bergeron are gimpy. The once-mighty Horn offense is trying to find some firepower. Cody Johnson? D.J. Monroe? Bueller? Bueller?
Fozzy went down early in a 17-5 Missouri loss. The Texas drive continued without him and led to the only Horn offensive points of the game. It's the way of a sport that often becomes a battle of attrition. Leaks went on to a solid NFL career for the Bills and Colts, including five years in the playoffs. There's no telling what's ahead for Fozzy, who graduated from UT in three years and is now tackling a master's degree. During Mack Brown's Monday presser, Fozzy was consoling his teammates, not the other way around.
Fozzy's got good reason to feel sorry for them: 13th-ranked Kansas State comes to Austin on Saturday to complete the Horns' home season. That will be followed by road games with the Aggies and the Baylor Bears. Here's betting either/both Malcolm Brown and Bergeron get some ball carries against the Wildcats — ready or not. The goal will be to make sure — given quarterback David Ash's frustrating performance last week — the Texas offense isn't forced to be all passing all the time.
The Texas defense is likely still pissed over the questionable call on Kenny Vaccaro for what looked like a textbook tackle (and if you think I'm just being a homer, read my Oct. 7 piece about helmet-to-helmet hits). That penalty led to a Missouri score one play later and provided enough extra breathing room for the Tigers in a largely offense-less contest.
With Kansas State, Texas must contend with Collin Klein, a double-threat QB who already has rushed for more than 1,000 yards and 24 touchdowns while passing for another 1,500 yards. Here's betting the ever-improving Texas D gives him fits as the Wildcat offensive line remains weary from a quadruple-overtime win over the Aggies last week.
Can the Horns produce enough offense to stay in the game? That's the tricky question. Texas is inexplicably favored by more than a touchdown, yet Kansas State actually owns the series 6-5 and played strong against an Oklahoma State team that gave Texas fits.
Roosevelt Leaks, a longtime Austin real estate pro, would likely smile and tell you it's all about what happens on the field on any given Saturday. Ash is a better quarterback than we saw last week, and we'll likely see that against the Wildcats. Texas will hobble together some sort of running game. If the Horn D continues to bend but not break, it should be a close contest between the best warriors each team can field this week, this day. That's all we can ask.

Care and feeding of disk space on Linux
Cleaning House
You wouldn't believe how much of the disk space on your system is wasted, filled with duplicate files, or cruft you don't need.
The sad fact is, no matter how much disk space you have, it starts filling up pretty quickly with unnecessary junk. And necessary junk. A few thousand MP3s, lots of work documents, some movies you've downloaded (legally, of course) or ripped for watching on that lovely new tablet you picked up … . Pretty soon that vast expanse of empty bit-bucket has been given over to monstrous amounts of data. How does that happen?
The fact is, it's not all your fault. A lot of stuff happens behind the scenes. Programs cache data and suck up disk space without your noticing. Logfiles grow and grow. And you contribute too, of course, saving everything because you might just need it "someday."

SXSW Interview: Colin Gilmore
Austin's Flatlanders scion grew up with the right mentors
By William Harries Graham,
1:00PM, Sat. Mar. 15, 2014
Colin Gilmore is a second generation Austin musician, son of Jimmie Dale Gilmore. The scion grew up in Lubbock and moved here when he was 14 to live with his father. Gilmore's been gaining traction with his songwriting to the point that even his dad's band the Flatlanders have recorded some of his songs.
Gilmore's about as nice and genuine as a true Texan comes. He loves his Austin life: "I like to be social. I seek inspiration wherever I am. Sometimes it's going to a show, or seeing a movie, reading a good book, or just going and having a good talk with somebody."
Gilmore plays his third and final SXSW showcase tonight, Saturday, at Shotguns, 9pm.
Austin Chronicle: What were your early musical influences?
Colin Gilmore: When I was really young I always liked my dad Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Joe Ely, and Butch Hancock. That were playing in Lubbock in people's backyards at the time. Then I loved Michael Jackson, the Cars, the Sex Pistols, the Clash, and a lot of bands I was trying to make my parents mad with.
AC: How has Jimmie Dale influenced your music?
CG: In about every way possible. I remember hearing him on tape when I was a little kid and not even knowing it was my dad. I was enthralled by it. When my mom told me it was my dad, I couldn't believe it. There's something about his voice. And I saw through him how someone can create this whole world just by singing a song.
AC: When did music choose you?
CG: Ever since I could walk and talk I knew that I wanted to play. All through high school and college I dabbled. I was in punk rock bands, I was in choir, but then right after college I decided to pursue it as a career. I've always loved how powerful lyrics and a simple melody can be. There's stuff that someone with a whole band can do that one person can't, but the reverse is also true. Somebody sitting there with a guitar, just getting a simple melody and point across, there's power to that.
AC: What was it like making the change from punk to country?
CG: It was kinda seamless. Instead of playing loud stuff, the friends that I had punk bands with just sat down with acoustic guitars. I realized at a certain point that the musical intensity could be greater than a really loud band.
AC: What would you consider your musical break?
CG: There have been a whole bunch of smaller breaks, but one of my first shows under my name was at Threadgill's North and it sold out. Another was when the Flatlanders covered my songs and would use one of my songs as a closer for their shows. I don't know if there has ever really been a break, just a lot of things that just keep me going.
AC: Favorite moments onstage?
CG: I got to sing the national anthem at a White Sox game in Chicago recently and that was really cool. And one time, I/we opened for Monsters of Folk and M. Ward came up and sang with us. That was amazing.
AC: What's the process of songwriting like for you?
CG: For me it almost always starts with a melody, a feeling of a song that I get in my head. And then I find the words for it. Sometimes I'll start writing funny poetry and then think, "What would this sound like?"
AC: If you had to categorize your music, what genre would you choose?
CG: I would say roots rock & roll. That's not a genre that you can usually select when you are entering into something, but to me it gets to the point a little better than 'Americana' does.
AC: What do you think about the music industry?
CG: Everybody is just trying to figure it out as they go along. I've learned not to depend on CD sales to make money. CDs are more like a calling card and about getting your name out. Live show are where it's at I think.
AC: How would you describe your trajectory so far.
CG: Well, it's been a bumpy ride, but I can say I've gotten a good fan base across the nation in pockets everywhere. There's a growing fan base and there's still interest in what I'm doing. And I do really have to work for it, like I can't play a show every week in Austin and expect people to come out to it.
AC: Who are your heroes?
CG: My mom and dad, Buddy Holly, Joe Strummer, Joe Ely, Butch Hancock, Lucinda Williams, Dolly Parton, and Wendy O. Williams.

Umm... first thing I always try when doing this is replacing [QSA] with [R=permanent] just so I know where it's trying to redirect to... that way you can see what's wrong with your rewrite rule by where it's trying to redirect you.

I had the same problem. My Apache error log said
Permission denied: /home/<user>/<path>/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable
The error occured whether there was a .htaccess file in the directory or not. The error went away once I made the directory writeable for the web server process. Try
Chmod 777 <wordpress directory>
You might also try a .htaccess with only the code generated by the permalinks page, and see if that works (looks like you used the example.htaccess as the base for your .htaccess.)
Chmod 777 ???
That translates to "oh, please, please, please 0wn my server, mister script kiddie"
Not really... still have to get an account that has some kind of access to that directory.
I have a similar problem. With no .htaccess, all is well. With the usual .htaccess I use to set 1 year expire dates on image files, all is well. When I use the code wordpress spits out for my htaccess file, I receive a 403 error, whether the code is alone or accompanied with my other htaccess stuff.
I tried antifuse's R=permanent suggestion, it did not help.
I'm not going to chmod 777 anything. You should never have to do that. If there's a legitimate chmod needed for the server to do something it can't by default, fine, but everyone-everything is not an appropriate suggestion.
I'm running on a redhat box using the ensim system, I don't recall any of the versions offhand but they're all fairly recent (php 4.2 or higher IIRC).
The site is running under a subdirectory called 'weblog' and I was trying to set my 'pretty' links to something like /old/2003-12-31/this_is_a_test
Does anyone have any ideas?
I had this problem once.... when trying to use mod_rewrite on a Windows server..... a shot in the dark, but what is the server running? Is it Linux/Unix or Windows?
Redhat is Linux.
yeah, it's linux.
And I checked in phpinfo(); and it says mod_rewrite is installed.
Anyone have any ideas?
Not working for me either, and I know the mod_rewrite works because I used it for PostNuke on the same server
place this line at the begining of your .htaccess
Options FollowSymLinks
worked for me :)
Well you need to make sure that your first line has no break.
^archives/....yada yada yada
Should be this:
RewriteRule ^archives/....yada yada yada
Make sure there are no carriage returns or breaks in your rewrite rules, doing that fixed all my problems.
chmod 755 httpdocs and it started working for me
thanks kristin! that works for me.
Add :
Options +FollowSymLinks
to your .htaccess file.
Well, what worked for me is to remove some extra spaces within the rules

What is the Mentor Program?
The mentor program is a great way to become involved in the Chapel Hill community by teaching basic skills such as Microsoft Word and Google search to low-income adults, as well as introducing computers and intereresting applications to young children. We offer multiple opportunities to volunteer at various locations and times throughout the week.
The adult classes that we teach are called TECH classes (Technology Empowerment for Chapel Hill), and we run them through a joint program with the local organization, CEF (the Community Empowerment Fund) to provide people with reduced-priced laptops after coming to our sessions and then completing a test, which we grade. As a mentor, you will help the participants of our program learn the skills they need to pass the test and find jobs and information while improving their overall lifestyle with the help of technology.
The children are taught a different set of skills through our fun curriculum that allows us to bring out their imaginative side with the help of technology. We will teach them important concepts of computer science, help them utilize computers more effectively, and introduce them to programming, all while having fun doing it!
How Do I Apply?
The Mentor Program application for the 2015 fall semester has officially opened! Please fill out the application here by Friday, September 4th. Note that we will be holding three orientation sessions for our mentors and we expect each mentor to attend one of the following half-hour sessions:
- Tuesday, September 8th at 5:30 pm
- Wednesday, September 9th at 5:00 pm
- Thursday, September 10th at 6:00 pm
No need to fret if you cannot attend any of these sessions; just note that on your application and we will set up a time that works for you!
What Are the TECH Classes Like?
We will pair you up with a participant before beginning the program. You will then work with this participant from their first computer class until you hand them their newly acquired computer. Our participants typically attend one class a week, so there will be plenty of opportunities to interact with and get to know your mentee.
Participants start at all different skill levels, so in order to help them out the most, you'll need to know where to start from. We will give you possible suggestions of where to begin at our orientation session.
Site leader program:
What is a Site Leader?
This position is open to mentors who have had at least a semester's experience at TWB. As usual, you will mentor and work with a participant most of the time, but, in the event that a co-chair cannot make it to a TECH class or a kid's class, you will be in charge of supervising that class. Questions and inquiries will be directed to you, which you can direct back to us by text or email if you don't know the answer.
In the case that there are more participants than mentors and both the site leader and co-chair are at the class, the co-chair will, if possible, have to teach 2 to 3 people at once. The site leader will also teach the next 2 to 3 people if there is still a need to teach more than one participant at a time. This isn't likely to happen, but, if it does, we're hoping to have a back-up plan for this scenario.
We'll give you the phone number of the co-chair who is most likely to be at your TECH class. If you can't make it to the class a certain day, you will have to inform them by text or email. If they cannot make it or have to leave early, they will text or email you.
How Do I Apply?
We are currently looking for a site leader for our JobLink program so if you are a returning mentor, please consider applying here by Friday, September 4th!
Please don't hesitate to contact us at email@example.com with any questions!

Hello all..
Air Transat latest fleet included 12 A310, 3 A330-200 and 1 A330-300.. Thats a mix of some rather old planes and some rather new planes.. Traditionally Air Transat flew older planes, like the L1011 they got from Air Canada after AC retired them. AT also flew A320s, B737, B727, B757s.. Anyone know if AT is planning to phase out the A310 and bring in new equipment??? I must admit the A310s might be old but look sweet in the AT livery..

A 20-year-old youth has claimed before Agra police to have witnessed the murder of research scholar Neha Sharma, whose body was found in a laboratory of Dayal Bagh Educational Institute on March 15.
The Agra police had recorded his statement two days back.
Senior sub-inspector Ashish Kumar Singh, who is the investigating officer of the case, said the eyewitness has agreed to get his statement recorded before the magistrate, which they will get done soon.
On Wednesday, the Agra police filed the chargesheet in the case against two accused, namely Uday Swaroop (21), a final year student of BSc at the institute, and his friend, 35-year-old Yashveer Singh Sandhu, a laboratory technician. Singh said the chargesheet had been filed on charges of attempt to rape and murder.
Swaroop is the grandson of retired IAS officer Prem Kumar, president of the Dayal Bagh Satsang Sabha, which runs the institute.
Singh said the eyewitness is known to the victim's family.
"He said on March 15 he went to the laboratory to meet Neha for some work. He claimed to have heard the girl screaming and had seen both arrested accused hitting her. He says he was scared and quietly left the place," said Singh, adding that the youth said that he did not inform the police then because of fear. Now, he had come to the police on his own.
Neha (27) was working on a research project on antibodies. Her body was found in the laboratory with 12 deep cuts, inflected with a paper cutter and a surgical blade.
The police came to know about the death the same day after they found Neha's abandoned car, with a cellphone number written on a paper. The number turned out that of her father Rashpal Sharma in Delhi. Later, the police found Neha's laptop from a garbage bin near the lab.
