[Watch] Here's What Happens When Your Side Chick Crashes Your Wedding
It's a scene out of a Tyler Perry movie.
Former America's Next Top Model contestant Isis King appeared on cycle 11 and cycle 17 of the modeling show and made her mark as its first transgender model. Now, after getting sex reassignment surgery, appearing in a few fashion shows and modeling for American Apparel's "Legalize Gay" campaign, King is starting to design her own clothes.
"Now I'm just really wanting the world to see my first talent," King told OUT magazine. But she's hesitant to outright call her line a collection adding, "I don't want to push myself and say I'm showing a 'collection' and get so nervous about it. I think I'll say I'm showing a 'presentation.'"
This week, OUT magazine recently named King to its annual OUT100 List for 2012.

I am working on client server application written in C for Linux where I am replicating the data to multiple slave replicas using TCP and I would like to know how to deal with unexpected temporary shutdown of some replica (it may be the crash of the unix process or hardware power off).
When I issue the write() syscall to the kernel, the successful return means the data was copied to the socket, but doesn't mean that the receiving end got the data. If the destination is powered off and then powered up, the data must be resent (after establishing a new TCP connection) to the replica from the point where it lost the data.
Lets say I am working with large data amounts and I don't keep the data that I already sent (i.e. the write() syscall returned success). I keep only the pending data to be sent.
When the replica recovers from the unexpected shutdown and connects again, how do I get, from kernel, the data that has been written to the socket, but wasn't 'ack'-nowledged on the destination host, yet?
Or in other words, how do I recover from a loss of a TCP connection and reestablish transmission between client and server from the point where it stopped?

After an xlnt day with Wandeljp and Coucou7 around Dadizele after the xlnt VT meet at Kortrijk I went on up to get digital pics of Bruge - and cycled out to Damme - was a fab thing to do!Nice to see yr pg esp that Ive now actually been to the place!
Nice place. Ciao!
Sounds like a nice daytrip from Brugge.
Mijn favoriete pagina over Damme! Keep up the good job!
What a beautiful place. Definitely worth visiting when in Bruges -thanks for sharing Helga!
A lovely spot -- looks less frequented than Brugge -- it's on my list now:)
:-) prachtige pagina!!! I back up Myriam and you about the terrible traffic. There are lots of alternatives! and I do love the pancakes too! one of the reason for a deviation to Damme when I am around Bruges `-)
You're so right about your 'tourist trap' tip! Especially on a Friday afternoon ...
Damme - gate to Bruges - you made it an inviting page Helga. The statue in front of the church is called "Blik van Licht" made by Charles Delporte - he has a museum in Damme !
I remember making a trip to Damme, it was nice and so were the pancakes that we had there, along with an Oude Gueze beer Mmmm :-) Oh yes, we went on that boat too. No books when we visited though.

I converted all the flac in my music library down to mp3, so I can move the flac to an external drive. I used dbpoweramp in windows, and I'm pretty sure it converted them all, but when I woke up this morning, the netbook had been restarted.
So I've made a list with all my music in it and used sort to alphabetize it. So I have something like this:
Note that I have a directory with only mp3, since not my whole library was flac.
What I want is a bash script that will check that all lines that end with .flac have a line directly below them that is the same except it ends with .mp3.
How would I achieve this, and if you can explain what the script is doing, that would be cool too.
I guess it's sorta important to show any lines that end with .flac that DON'T have a matching .mp3, as they need converted still.

Rand Retreats on Greece Aid Concern, Central Bank Announcement
The rand headed for its first weekly drop in five as the central bank said it will make an announcement "of national importance" tomorrow and commodities fell after European leaders held back a Greek rescue package.
South Africa's currency retreated 1.9 percent to 7.7317 per dollar as of 4:17 p.m. in Johannesburg, bringing its decline this week to 2.7 percent, the most since the five days ended Dec. 16. It was the worst performer today out of more than 20 emerging-market currencies monitored by Bloomberg. Against the euro, it slipped 1.1 percent to 10.1861.
Governor Gill Marcus, who is three years into a five-year term, will make the announcement tomorrow at 3 p.m. local time, together with President Jacob Zuma and Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan, the Pretoria-based Reserve Bank said on its website, without giving further details.
"They're doing it on a Saturday, so it is probably something potentially market-moving," Michael Keenan, an analyst at Absa Group Ltd. in Johannesburg, said by phone. "The rand is definitely on the back foot as a result of this."
The rand retreated along with stocks and commodities after European leaders held back a rescue package for Greece. Greek Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos said his euro-area counterparts refused to approve a 130 billion-euro ($171 billion) aid package because the government fell short of austerity demands. George Karatzaferis, who heads one of three parties supporting interim Prime Minister Licas Papademos, said he couldn't back an accord on cuts in its present form.
"There will be talk of a general change in tone back towards risk-off and profit taking," George Glynos, an economist at Johannesburg-based ETM Analytics, wrote in e-mailed comments today. "Given the on-going drama in Greece, this could very well keep the rand on the defensive for a little while longer."
Standard & Poor's GSCI Index of commodities fell for the first time in six days and a gauge of emerging-market stocks slipped the most this year on a closing basis. Commodities account for about 60 percent of South Africa's exports, according to government data.
South African bonds declined on concern the state-owned transport company's plan to spend 300 billion rand upgrading its rail network will add to supply in the market. Transnet SOC Ltd. will tap international and domestic bond markets, the South African Press Association reported, citing Public Enterprises Minister Malusi Gigaba.
The yield on 6.75 percent bonds due 2021 gained three basis points, or 0.03 percentage points, to 7.89 percent, the highest on a closing basis since Jan. 23. The yield has climbed 21 basis points this week, the most since the five days ending Sept. 23.
"Concern about government debt remains elevated," Carmen Nel and Mamello Matikinca, analysts at Rand Merchant Bank in Johannesburg, said in an e-mailed research note.

Working the Land the Natural Way
Last week, Melissa Block and I visited an organic farm run by a really interesting guy who used to be a stock broker. He's been operating the farm for seven years now without the use of any chemicals or pesticides, and indeed, the bugs were aplenty! I still have little bites all over my hands to show for it. We'll be bringing you the story of that farm in May on the radio (May 19-23.)
This week, NPR photographer David Gilkey and I got a second look at organic farming in a place called Anlong Village. Anlong sits along the Zouma River, upstream from Chengdu. Several years ago, the local NGO Chengdu Urban Rivers Association (CURA) chose it as a pilot site for eco-friendly agriculture, including organic farming. The idea was that by cleaning up Anlong, you'd protect a major source of water for Chengdu residents.
It's been almost four years since the project was launched, and of the nine households who have tried organic farming, only four are still at it. The others decided it just wasn't worth it. Organic farming requires much more labor, the yield can be half or less of that of conventional farming, and besides, hardly anyone in Chengdu is eating organic. Our stock broker-turned-farmer estimates their customer base to be only 0.01% of Chengdu's population.
Which is why I found the Anlong farmers who are still persevering truly remarkable.
Take 35-year old Gao Qingrong, who around here is called Big Sister Gao. As a child, she really disliked the countryside. She wanted nothing more than to leave it behind. Two years ago, she was working in a textile factory in Jiangsu Province, near Shanghai, earning 2,000 yuan a month (about $290)- a very good salary, she says, for someone with her level of education (she'd graduated from a vocational high school).
But when her parents started small-scale organic farming under CURA's pilot program, she began to worry about them. How were they ever going to make ends meet? And now that they were in their 60s, could they actually go back to pulling weeds by hand, to carrying manure out to the fields, to working the land the way it was worked before chemicals and pesticides became the norm?
On a trip home to investigate the situation, Gao Qingrong met CURA volunteers and started reading the materials they'd brought her. And in the end, it was a Chinese translation of Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" that did it. Gao moved back to Anlong, and before long had turned all of her family's land organic. On our visit, she proudly showed off the all-natural fertilizers she had fermenting in jars, and pointed out the various fragrant flowers and herbs she was growing alongside the intercropped vegetables (the various scents attract "good" bugs which, in turn, eat the "bad"bugs). Still, it's been a slog. Last year she lost an entire crop of radishes to pests. And only this year have they begun to turn a profit — barely.
Gao perks up when I tell her that in the US, organic food has become quite mainstream. China clearly has a long way to go, but concern about food safety is growing. And if the pace of development of the organic food market comes anywhere close to that of other sectors, I suspect the Gao family will sooner, rather than later, find that all their hard work was worth it.
David Gilkey's photography of Anlong will be posted in May.

Actually, most Chinese people used to eat organic food all the time, but now they don't know how to get it anymore.
My mother would rather eat native acerb cherries. Every spring she goes to the hills for potherb. And my families buys only local chickens. As far as I know, many other Chengdu families have the same habit.
My mother doesn't like massive farm production with fertilizers. If farmers want to sell their organic food, they must get certification for their products.
The problem is that there's more and more demand for agricultural products, so traditional organic agricultural industry just can't produce enough fast enough.
Compared to rural residents, urbanites have to pay so much more for organic food. Some families economize and not insist on organic food. With the accelerating pace of life in China, snacks are becoming popular.
Traditional lifestyle is changing.
It is hard to find organic food now unless you drive to villages far away from the city. And if you do find organic food in the city, it's expensive. Chemically fertilized food has taken the leading role at Chinese food market.
Great intro.
But where's the beef!
I have been living in china for the last seven years, and I was excited to see this story. Please let me know if you will have more on this village, and these people. I am commenting on my blog China @ the Crossroads (www.china-crossroads.com) as I think there are more than wan to learn about the organic food system in China.
Where can I find organic food in the city and how far is the village from Chengdu? It would be interesting to bring my son to see an organic farm.
To Moss: You're right, organic farming "just can't produce enough fast enough."
But, according to Luoyu, the stock broker-turned-farmer, as Andrea mentioned, after 8 to 9 years of organic practice the whole farmland ecosystem can be fertile enough to yield the same amount of produce as non-organic does. So, I'm pretty optimistic about the future of organic farming!
To Juring: It's great that you're interested in organic produce!
There is a monthly organic market organized by volunteers,and also there is an ongoing organic box delivery program in Chengdu. Besides,I can share with you more information about the organic farms in Chengdu.
Please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Premature Infant's Inability to Maintain Body Heat
A premature infant's body is not able to maintain body heat. It's important to prevent hypothermia, which is a loss of body heat that can be dangerous. So the infant is kept warm on a heated bed. This may be inside a draft-free enclosure (isolette or incubator) or under a radiant heater.
As the infant's nervous system, skin, and metabolism mature, the infant is less likely to get hypothermia. At about 34 weeks' gestation, a premature infant usually can be moved into an open crib.

One day DECK will truly burn these people trying to keep it down. Heed this warning, this stock is built like a pressure cooker and it will blow! The shorts will have a very tough time getting to the exit. That day is coming very soon!
There is no manipulation...will you stop it.
Don't you understand that the more a stock appreciates, the less value it offers people? It has nothing to do with manipulatio/conspiracy and your saing so makes you a child. Has warren buffet ever complained about manipulation?
C'mon, grow up and realize that even though you can't fathom why someone doesn't want to invest in the stock for their own reasons or flawed value system doesn't mean there is some vast conspiracy. It mans the stock went up on upgrade yesterday and an investor or fund or just people in general feel it is a great time to take some profit.
It has nothing to do with "keeping us down". You are not even on their mind. Then there are traders and there constant trading has nothing to do with trading but with "momentum". Downards and upwards and the low float means eery trade moves the stock. Please, stop the stupidity.
sorry I don't believe you and no it's not stupidity. This stock is definitely manipulated and management doesn't know how to address this. Warren Buffet doesn't have to complain about manipulation because he's independently wealthy; you (and I) are no Warren Buffet.
The reason why someone else doesn't want to invest in DECK is because of their recent track record. In addition, the reason why someone doesn't want to invest in DECK is because of the lack of communication from management. Perception is why stock prices move. To use your example whenever Warren buys a stock, the stock goes bonkers.
Great product, but this stock is manipulated.
In the words of Jerry McGuire and a message to DECK management - "Show me the Money!!"

Elena Baltacha, Ex-No. 1 U.K. Women's Tennis Player, Dies at 30
Elena Baltacha, Britain's former top women's tennis player, died from liver cancer, the WTA tour said. She was 30.
Baltacha, whose career was hampered by a chronic liver condition, died yesterday surrounded by friends and family, the tour said on its website.
Baltacha announced her retirement from professional tennis in November and married her coach, Nino Severino, a few weeks later. She was diagnosed with cancer in January, the WTA said.
"Elena's journey was never an easy one and yet she consistently showed her strength, good humor and indomitable spirit," said Stacey Allaster, chief executive officer of the women's tour.
Baltacha won 11 singles tournaments, broke into the top 50 in 2010 and represented Great Britain for more than a decade.
She was born in Ukraine and raised in the U.K. Her father played soccer for Dynamo Kiev and for teams in England and Scotland, and her mother was a Russian athlete.

A soft tissue graft is used when there has been a significant amount of gum recession in a particular area. Slight gum recession can usually be fixed with a few changes to your oral hygiene routine to take better care of your teeth and gums. When the gingiva recedes further it exposes you to greater risk for infection and bacterial penetration. You will likely be more sensitive to hot and cold foods when you have receding gums. If the gums recede enough as to expose the root you can set yourself up for more serious problems. The root is softer than the enamel making it more vulnerable to bacteria and plaque.
To restore proper gum level and functionality a soft tissue graft can be performed. This is done by either removing soft tissue from the roof of the mouth, or repositioning healthy gum tissue from adjacent teeth. This procedure is very predictable and has a high success rate. This procedure should be performed before more serious problems develop and periodontal surgery is necessary.

Apple iPhone 5C review - Discontinued but a bit of a bargain
Processor: Dual-core 1.3GHz Apple A6, Screen size: 4in, Screen resolution: 1,136x640, Rear camera: 8-megapixels, Storage: 8GB/16GB/32GB, Wireless data: 3G. 4G, Size: 124x59x8.97mm, Weight: 132g, Operating system: iOS 7
The iPhone 5C is something of a failed experiment for Apple. It was originally rumoured to be Apple's assault on the budget handset dominance of Android. It's higher-than-expected price soon put paid to that though, and though the plastic-shelled handset did drop in price to a more reasonable level, it was still expensive by mid-range Android standards, and hugely so compared to true budget models.
And now with the launch of the iPhone 6S the brightly-coloured 5C has been quietly shuffled off, with no immediate replacement in sight. Instead Apple has returned to an all-metal line-up with the iPhone 5S at its base as the wallet-friendly, or perhaps just slightly-less-expensive offering.
Of course you'll still see iPhone 5C's for sale from some retailers and on eBay, where you can buy refurbished models (with a 12-month warranty) from reputable retailers for around £170. So if you're looking for a cheap iPhone (maybe to replace a broken one) then it could be quite tempting. So let's take a look at what you're getting for your money.
Plastic fantastic
It's important to note that the iPhone 5C is essentially, specs wise, an iPhone 5 in new clothing, making the handset three years old today. Of course the 5C looks different, with a plastic chassis. Before the phone launched and we got our hands on it, there were some questions as to whether plastic was the right choice. This being Apple, it's fair to say that it has managed to make plastic feel premium.
A single moulded piece of polycarbonate attached to a reinforced cage means the iPhone 5C feels extremely tough and well made
For starters Apple has used a single piece of moulded polycarbonate. This means that the iPhone 5C looks incredibly well made with no gaps or joins in the case. Plastic can often feel a bit creaky, but Apple has attached the case to a steel frame inside, which means it feels exceptionally tough and durable. Finally, the company lacquered the outside, which will reduce scratching, although a case is still a good idea.
Moving to this design means that the iPhone 5C is slightly heavier than the iPhone 5, at 132g compared to 112g. It's fair to say that this minor weight difference isn't going to make any difference to anyone. Of course, moving to plastic, means that Apple can now work with a wider range of colours, with the iPhone 5C available in white, red, yellow, blue and green. No matter what your preference, there's a colour out there that will suit you.
There's a wide-enough range of colours that you'll definitely find an iPhone 5C that you like the look of
Apple also sells a range of cases in the same colours, with holes cut out so you can see through to the iPhone's original colour. This lets you mix and match your colours to get the effect you want, although we're not massive fans of the new case and prefer a shell or something that protects the screen. However, we like the way that Apple pre-sets each iPhone 5C so that its screen backdrop matches the colour of the case. Admittedly we've seen the same from Nokia and Windows Phone, but it's still a nice touch.

A Landmark Race With the Bull MooseRoundup: Pop Culture & the Arts ... Movies, Documentaries and Museum Exhibits
ON Oct. 14, 1912, as Theodore Roosevelt campaigned in Milwaukee as the Progressive Party candidate for president, he was shot point-blank in the chest by a Brooklyn bartender named John Schrank, who opposed Roosevelt's quest for a third term. Despite his bleeding wound, Roosevelt insisted on being taken to a hall to deliver the 50-page speech he had prepared, prefacing it by telling the crowd about the assassination attempt but adding, "It takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose."
Bull Moose was the popular name for his party, based on Roosevelt's earlier comment that he was "fit as a bull moose" to become president again.
On display now at the Oyster Bay Historical Society are two leaves from the speech and the steel eyeglass case that Roosevelt had in his pocket. The bullet passed through them before entering his body, and the holes are clearly visible....

GADSDEN, Ala. (AP) - State mental health officials will start visiting 112 uncertified drug treatment programs next month.
Authorities say they will be checking that the programs either meet standards or stop claiming to offer substance abuse services.
Many of the programs are run out of faith-based residential facilities. Officials are reacting to consumer complaints about residents getting incompetent treatment and being financially abused.
Kent Hunt with the state Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation said all state agencies have agreed to not refer people to uncertified programs for treatment.
The state will help facilities through the certification process, if necessary and Hunt said the goal isn't a witch hunt to close programs.

The incidence of cutaneous malignant melanoma has steadily increased over the past 50 years in predominately fair-skinned populations. This increase is reported to have leveled off recently in several Northern and Western European countries, Australia, New Zealand and in North America. We studied the global patterns and time trends in incidence of melanoma by country and sex, with a focus on and age- and cohort-specific variations. We analyzed the incidence data from 39 population-based cancer registries, examining all-ages and age-truncated standardized incidence rates of melanoma, estimating the annual percentage change and incidence rate ratios from age-period-cohort models. Incidence rates of melanoma continue to rise in most European countries (primarily Southern and Eastern Europe), whereas in Australia, New Zealand, the U.S., Canada, Israel and Norway, rates have become rather stable in recent years. Indications of a stabilization or decreasing trend were observed mainly in the youngest age group (25–44 years). Rates have been rising steadily in generations born up to the end of the 1940s, followed by a stabilization or decline in rates for more recently born cohorts in Australia, New Zealand, the U.S., Canada and Norway. In addition to the birth cohort effect, there was a suggestion of a period-related influence on melanoma trends in certain populations. Although our findings provide support that primary and secondary prevention can halt and reverse the observed increasing burden of melanoma, they also indicate that those prevention measures require further endorsement in many countries.
