A nap when you are really really tired, so tired that you accidentally say snap instead of nap. Something only younger children get to do, usually grade 4th and 5h.
where are all the children? they are snapping

an exclamation used upon hearing or seeing something surprising and exiting, or when describing the thing to others, such as a gorgeous member of the opposite sex or a big party coming up soon; generally accompanied by a snap made with the index finger brought down against the middle finger, like a director snapping, "action!"
You missed a killer show last night, bro! They got down! And, SNAP!, the place was crawling wall to wall with tight booties! It was on!

Listen to Learn
Listening is not a passive part of learning and improving but an active and integral part of improving and staying alive
This isn't preachy…I'm not your Mom or Dad and have made enough mistakes to not consider myself the end-all in tactics or infallible but I'm going to offer you some of the best advice you'll ever get on officer safety. Listen. Just listen. As the saying goes, the Good Lord gave you two ears and one mouth so that you can listen two times as much as you speak.
That's not to say that you shouldn't ask questions if points need clarified or a topic or area of concern for you needs addressed. It just means that there exists around you tremendous experience and lessons to be learned, if you just may attention and listen to what is offered. Even if it turns out that bad advice or information was given, at least it caused you to examine the way you do things and hold them up to the light of day to see if they can sustain the close scrutiny.
I'll give you a couple of examples:
A. You're at the range and the instructor says, "You can possibly improve your shooting by working on your grip. I've noticed that your gun-hand thumb is curled downward which prevents your support hand from making full contact with the side of the pistol. Try this (and he demonstrates a proper grip)."
B. A veteran officer backs you up on a traffic stop and after you cite and release the driver he offers you this tactical tip, "Listen, why don't you try approaching the passenger-side of the vehicle instead of walking up to the driver's side. Depending on the environment you're less at risk from other vehicles and suspects anticipate and plan for a driver's side approach."
Now you could circle your ego wagon on both bits of advice and refuse to consider that, you know what, that instructor just might know his business and might have my best interest at heart on the pistol range and you know what that old time copper might just have a point on that passenger side approach… Or you could just listen and try out their suggestions.
As an instructor in these dangerous times when violence against law enforcement just reached a ten year high in 2011 that, we: read, study, and attempt to find out the best material we can to help keep officers alive and instruct that material to the troops and they just don't listen.
Now, we could nod our head like fellow bobble head police figures repeating the mantra, "It won't happen to me and it doesn't happen here. It won't happen to me and it doesn't happen here." But the good instructors I know and have had the pleasure to work with and around would look at you out of their one good eye and say, "It does happen here and it can happen to you and it can happen on the next call or in five minutes. Are you prepared? Have you listened?"
Standing on the Shoulders of Giants
There's a quote attributed to Sir Isaac Newton, "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." In my years on the J.O.B., I've had the good fortune to train under the greats of LE training – Bruce Siddle, Paul Whitesell, Dave Smith, Ed Nowicki, Brian Willis, Ron Avery, Todd Jarrett, and so many, many more. I count these men as friends and through organizations such as ILEETA (International Law Enforcement Educators and Trainers Association) have had the had the chance to meet and befriend so many more such as Chris Cerino, Dave Spaulding, Chief Jeff Chudwin, Chuck Remsberg, John Bostain, Coach Lindsey, Dr. Alexis Artwohl, Chuck Humes, ad infinitum. Truly, I have been blessed by being able to sit and listen to the training conducted by these great instructors and participate in their programs. When they spoke I listened and learned I was (and still am) a "sponge to learn" as the great British martial artists, writer and awesome trainer Geoff Thompson describes the process. Such great material about officer survival, tactics, firearms and even life is out there oftentimes at your fingertips even if you just look around and yes – listen.

The United States Forest Service held an open house and dedication ceremony for its new $14 million Angeles National Forest headquarters at 701 Santa Anita Ave. in Arcadia on Tuesday.
The campus boasts an environmentally-friendly 24,000-square-foot supervisor's office, which houses more than 80 employees.
The building was paid for with American Reinvestment and Recovery Act funds.
"Since Los Angeles had the most number of people unemployed, there was an emphasis on getting jobs to L.A.," Forest Service Engineer Sonja Bergdahl said.
The Forest Service's Angeles Forest operations received a total of about $20 million from the ARRA for 10 construction projects, including the new headquarters. Trail reconstruction and water system upgrades were among the other ARRA-funded projects.
Here are some fun facts about the new headquarters:
- Its water retention pond can hold about 60,000 gallons of water.
- The sun provides roughly 25 percent of the building's energy needs.
- Electricity use will go down about 17 percent a month because of the building's energy-efficient features.
- The Forest Service will save 44 percent on its power bill.

Gage Michaels and Sam Crockett are missionaries who come upon the door of Marcus Iron as our story comes full circle. Before they can even begin their preaching Iron pulls them inside and the three get naked. The three of them wrestle around on the bed, stroking, sucking, and rimming until finally it's Michaels' in the middle getting plugged from both ends. Then it's Iron's turn as he gives up his ass for Crockett as he sixty-nines with Michaels. Finally, Michaels takes Iron's dick up his hole while he sucks Crockett's big cock, ending in an explosion of cum all over Crockett's chest and Michaels' ass.

Regular Android Phone Maintenance
There are only two basic tasks you can do for regular maintenance on an Android phone: Keep it clean, and keep important information backed up.
Keeping your Android phone clean
You probably already keep your phone clean. You might use your sleeve to wipe the touchscreen at least a dozen times a day. Of course, better than your sleeve is something called a microfiber cloth. This item can be found at any computer- or office-supply store.
Never use ammonia or alcohol to clean the touchscreen. These substances damage the phone. Use only a cleaning solution specifically designed for touchscreens.
If the screen continually gets dirty, consider adding a screen protector. This specially designed cover prevents the screen from getting scratched or dirty but also lets you use your finger on the touchscreen. Be sure that the screen protector is intended for use with your specific phone brand.
You can also find customized cell phone cases, belt clips, and protectors, though these add-on items are purely for decorative or fashion purposes and don't even prevent serious damage if you drop the phone.
Backing up your Android phone
A backup is a safety copy of the information on your phone. It includes any contact information, music, photos, videos, and apps you've recorded, downloaded, or installed, plus any settings you've made to customize your phone. Copying this information to another source is one way to keep the information safe, in case anything happens to the phone.
On your Google account, information is backed up automatically. This information includes your Contacts list, Gmail messages, and Calendar app appointments. Because Android phones automatically sync this information with the Internet, a backup is always present.
To confirm that your Google account information is being backed up, heed these steps:
From the Home screen, touch the Launcher button.
Choose My Accounts.
Choose your Google account.
Ensure that a green check mark appears by every option.
When no check mark is there, touch the gray square to add one.
If you have more than one Google account synchronized with the phone, repeat these steps for every account.
Updating the Android system
Every so often, a new version of your phone's operating system becomes available. It's an Android update because Android is the name of the phone's operating system.
Whenever an automatic update occurs, you see an alert or a message appear on the phone, indicating that a system upgrade is available. You have three choices:
Install Now
Install Later
More Info
Go ahead and choose Install Now and get it over with — unless you have something (a call, a message, or another urgent item) pending on the phone, in which case you can choose Install Later and be bothered by the message again.
You can manually check for updates: From the Settings screen, choose About Phone, and then choose System Updates. You might also check for the Software Update item on the Settings screen. When your system is up-to-date, the screen tells you so. Otherwise, you find directions for updating the system.

I got dinged by the city for having the leader off a porch roof draining to the sidewalk (not my work, and I understand the safety reasons for the code). Clearly the previous owner disconnected the leader from the sewer system to do this, and I need to reattach it. Lots of question now. What the heck am I looking at here in the basement under the porch? Was the right the drain and the left a cleanout? And for that matter how do these drains attach to the main? There must be a trap, no? Otherwise that floor drain would stink. But what keeps the trap on an leader drain wet? Do they depend on regular NJ rain? But if the leader was removed, shouldn't that trap now be dry even though it doesn't stink? Or did they do something rash like cement it up? That looks like what they did to the cast iron hub on the right.
So which of these doors do I try, the left capped one that looks like it was oakum packed and lead poured, or the right cemented one?

Have you ever encountered a situation where superhuman strength would have come in handy? Sure, who hasn't? Well, thanks to four engineering students from the University of Pennsylvania, it seems as though comic book-like brawn may soon become a reality.
The Titan Arm was designed to help ordinary individuals undergoing physical rehabilitation or those who would benefit from a little extra muscle. The upper-body exoskeleton is essentially a battery-powered arm brace attached to a backpack that would provide the wearer with the ability to carry an additional 40 pounds. The students – Nick Parrotta, Elizabeth Beattie, Nick McGill and Niko Vladimirov – have already won at least $75,000 in prize money for their design. "There is certainly a market, but it's slowly emerging because the systems are not perfect as yet," said Paolo Bonato, director of the Motion Analysis Lab at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston. With that in mind, the Titan Arm team hopes to refine their prototype, considering different control strategies, more innovative materials and manufacturing. (For more on this story, click here.)
Do you think the Titan Arm has the potential to change lives for the better? Let us know in the comments section.

An important consideration when choosing a major is the possibility of gaining lucrative employment following graduation. In a perfect world, the best college major would simply be the one that interests you the most, period. Naturally, your level of interest in the field should be weighed more heavily than any other, as this is something of which you intend to make a career. If you're really passionate about a certain field that won't necessarily have you retiring early (social workers, for example, make an average of $39,400 per year), don't let a potential salary sway you. Helping others or entering a career you love is priceless, and many of the careers below will require some study beyond undergraduate school for you to advance in those fields. But if you have a particular knack for math or science and aren't necessarily sure where those skills would translate best, consider the kinds of careers that could offer a generous return for your investment.
Listed below are the 10 highest-paying college majors as of 2013. The list comes courtesy of the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), which conducts surveys of college graduates' job offers.Data for the NACE survey are reported by employers, represent accepted starting salaries (not salary offers), and are produced through a compilation of data derived from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. Census Bureau, and a master set of data developed by Job Search Intelligence.
While in the process of conducting your scholarship search at Scholarships.com, you might want to consider one or more of the following majors, just to keep your options open. Our free college search can also help you find colleges and universities that offer programs in any of the top 10 highest-paying college majors.

While many stories right now are focusing on financial aid programs finding themselves strapped for cash to award an increased of needy applicants, this is not universally the case. Data published by The Chronicle of Higher Education shows that two federal grant programs that were added in 2006 still have more awards than applicants. The Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG) and Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent (SMART) Grant have gained some participation, but still they're still falling short of enrollment goals.
Both grants are intended to supplement Federal Pell Grants for students who are both academically talented and financially needy. The ACG is a grant of $750 to $1,300 for college freshmen and sophomores who have completed a rigorous high school curriculum and excelled academically, while the SMART Grant is an award of up to $4,000 per year designed to support college juniors and seniors who are enrolled in a science, math, engineering, technology, or critically needed language program. Approximately 465,000 students received the ACG and SMART grants in the 2007-2008 academic year, up 95,000 from the first year they were offered.
In order to attract more applicants and meet their goal of doubling participation by the 2011-2012 academic year, the department is pushing financial aid administrators to become more aware of award criteria and to make sure the grants are being fully awarded. In addition, requirements have also been loosened and students enrolled in eligible five-year programs will be able to receive a SMART grant in their fifth year of school beginning in July.

Majoring in engineering can lead to a stable, lucrative, and challenging career, but it involves a lot of hard work and often more than four years of college with little free time to earn money to finance your education. Luckily, in addition to a good job, your engineering major can also land you college scholarships, such as this week's Scholarship of the Week. The Scholarships.com College Engineering Scholarship offers an annual award of $1,000 to an undergraduate student majoring in engineering. There are no GPA or test score requirements. To win, all you have to do is write a scholarship essay explaining what has influenced you to pursue a career in engineering.
Prize: $1000
Eligibility: Registered Scholarships.com users and current undergraduate students or high school seniors who will be enrolled in a two-year or four-year college or university in the coming academic year.
Deadline: September 30, 2009
Required Material: A completed online scholarship application and an essay of 250 to 350 words in response to the question, "What has influenced you to pursue a career in engineering?"
Further details about the application process can be found by conducting a free college scholarship search on Scholarships.com. Once the search is completed, students eligible for this scholarship award will find it in their search results.

Yesterday, the big "oh, look, a distraction from my homework!" news was a boy in Colorado who had apparently climbed into a homemade hot air balloon and floated away. This, of course, raised questions. The immediate question was, "is this for real?" especially after he was found hiding in his house, safely on solid ground, a few hours later. Immediately on the heels of this first query was a second, "who builds a giant balloon in their backyard, anyway?"
While no one has had much luck answering the first one yet, maybe you're the type of student who knows the answer to the second question. For some people, there's a certain allure to creating and executing plans for original creations. While your experiments and blueprints may not have resulted in a shiny balloon capable of capturing and holding national attention for hours, your inventions can still gain you recognition, and even cash, by way of scholarship awards. So if the saga of "balloon boy" yesterday inspired you to build your own airborne contraption, you may want to see if you can win some scholarship money by doing so.
There are numerous scholarships available for more inventive students, whether they're interested in engineering, design, business and entrepreneurship, or just making cool things as a hobby. Students engaging in other out-of-the-ordinary pursuits in addition to inventing may take an interest in any number of unusual college scholarships, ranging from awards for speaking fluent Klingon to awards for exceptional duck-calling.
Aspiring inventors who are looking for college aid will definitely want to check out the Collegiate Inventors Competition. This annual scholarship offers awards of up to $25,000 for doing what you do anyway: creating and developing a new and workable idea, process, or technology. Students more interested in building elaborate designs from shiny material, on the other hand, may find themselves drawn to the Duck Brand Duct Tape "Stuckat Prom" Contest. This well-known annual scholarship gives one lucky couple $3,000 college scholarships for designing and wearing duct tape prom attire. If you don't just want to build, but want to also produce, market, and distribute your brilliant inventions, you may be a candidate for one of several entrepreneurship and business scholarships awarded each year by various foundations. There may even be local scholarships for young entrepreneurs in your area.
These aren't the only scholarship opportunities available to creative and enterprising students. To see more award opportunities like the ones mentioned above, conduct a free scholarship search on Scholarships.com.

Not everyone can or wants to become a chemical engineer or mathematician, but the White House wants to make sure the country's doing all it can to give students the opportunity to explore all of their options before they're ready to make decisions about their future career paths.
President Obama announced a new campaign Monday called "Educate to Innovate" that aims to encourage more middle and high school students to pursue science, technology, engineering, and math. (His remarks can be read here, courtesy of the Washington Post.) The program will call on outside organizations to spend their own money and time to educate students on the kinds of things they could do in those fields, and improve their skill sets in those areas. It's no secret that the United States has lagged behind other countries in math- and science-based fields, despite the kinds of resources already available in those fields. (Another government initiative, the Race to the Top Fund, was announced last July to in part provide more money to states for innovative science programs.)
If you're good at math or science and are still undecided about what you'd like to be when you grow up, consider this: the vast majority of highest-paying college majors involve some degree of math or science skill. Those fields of study tend to be more specialized - not everyone can be a computer engineer, for example, and often require some study beyond that undergraduate degree. But in addition to the generous salaries, advances in many of those fields make it an exciting time to pursue a career as a researcher or scientist.
There's also plenty of scholarship money to go around if you're planning on or already pursuing a math or science field. The National Science and Mathematics Access to Retail Talent (SMART) Grant is awarded to undergraduates in their third or fourth year. Eligible recipients must already be Pell recipients, and the maximum award is $4,000. If you're interested in competitions, the Intel Science Talent Search targets high school seniors with original research.

President Obama announced a renewed focus on "Educate to Innovate" yesterday, this time targeting the need for more math and science teachers. As part of the most recent developments involving that initiative, leaders representing more than 120 public universities pledged to do their part to increase the total number of math and science teachers from 7,500 to 10,000 by 2015. Of those who pledged that promise to the White House, 41 said they would double the number of teachers they trained in that same period.
"Educate to Innovate" was first announced last November. The program was first announced with the aims to encourage more middle and high school students to pursue science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. The program called on outside organizations to spend their own money and time to educate students on the kinds of things they could do in those fields, and improve their skill sets in those areas. This time around, the focus was on the colleges. The Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities has admitted it could do more to not only get more students interested in the maths and sciences, but to better prepare those who do pursue those fields to make the United States more competitive on the international scene in those disciplines.
The White House also announced that the Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowships in Math and Science program would be expanded to include Michigan and Ohio, the National Math + Science Initiative's UTeach program would be expanded to include 20 additional universities, and that NASA, in partnership with companies, non-profits, and states, will launch a pilot program to enhance learning opportunities in STEM fields for students during the summer.
If you're already interested in science and math, make sure you know about all of the scholarship opportunities that could be available to you. As more emphasis is placed those fields of study, the incentives to pursue those disciplines will grow, so the time is now to apply for funding to pursue a degree in a STEM field. The National Science and Mathematics Access to Retail Talent (SMART) Grant is awarded to undergraduates in their third or fourth year. Eligible recipients must already be Pell recipients, and the maximum award is $4,000. If you're interested in competitions, the Intel Science Talent Search targets high school seniors with original research. To see whether you qualify for any of these or thousands of other scholarships, many of them related to the maths or sciences, conduct a free scholarship search to see the kind of awards you're eligible for.

The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) released its latest list of the highest-paying college majors of the class of 2010 last week, with engineering- and technology-related fields of study once again coming out on top.
This probably won''t come as much of a surprise to you. Engineering and technology majors consistently rank high on any list of highest-paying careers, and there have only been minor changes in the ranks over the last few years. (Information sciences and systems is a new addition to the list this year, coming in at 10th place.) The only non-engineering related degrees in the top 10 this time around were computer science and information sciences and systems. According to NACE, petroleum engineering earned the highest starting salary reported at the bachelor's degree level ($86,220). That average starting salary was more than one-and-one-half times the average starting salary reported for bachelor's degree graduates as a whole ($48,351). The average starting salary for all graduates has fallen about 2 percent since 2009, by the way.
It's certainly not always the case, but often, the more technical your skills are, the more potential you have of landing an impressive starting salary. There''s less competition in a field like petroleum engineering, for example, as it isn't the most popular of majors, so those engineers benefit from those odds with higher salaries. (Petroleum engineering degrees account for less than 1 percent of all bachelor's degrees conferred, according to NACE.)
What does this mean for you liberal arts majors? Even you business majors may worry that you''ll have a tough time making ends meet, as business isn't exactly overrepresented on the NACE list. Still, not everyone is going to grow up to become an engineer. (And if they did, the list would surely shift, as it depends greatly on the supply and demand of new graduates.) Certainly, the kind of field you're interested in should play a big part when you're deciding on a college major. And most college students do still consider interest over salary potential when choosing their majors, as the most popular fields of study fall well outside petroleum engineering. (According to the U.S. Department of Education, the most popular college majors are in business, the social and health sciences, and education.)
Take the NACE list with a grain of salt, and don't change your focus to aeronautics just because of the pay potential. If you have no interest in one of those high-paying majors, chances are you'll have a tough time getting through a four-year program in that discipline, and if you do graduate, an even tougher time liking a job in a career you chose for the money. But if you are passionate about engineering and technology, that's great. You'll have a good starting salary to go along with a job you enjoy.

Most 14-years-olds spend their school days learning algebra and being awkward. Not Colin Carlson: He's too busy earning hefty scholarships for graduate school.
Carlson is a higher education veteran despite his limited years. Since the age of nine, Carlson has been taking classes at the University of Connecticut and today, he is a junior in the honors program and is working toward a dual degree in evolutionary biology and in environmental studies and ecology. The scholarship – $30,000 from the Truman Scholars program – is only the fourth of its kind bestowed upon a UConn student and these funds, plus another recently awarded $7,500 from the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship program for students headed into mathematics, science or engineering careers, will surely help the real genius as he pursues a law degree, a doctorate and a career in environmental advocacy.
Some may say $30,000 isn't that much money for college these days but to others, it's a life-changing sum. How are you planning to pay for school?

The academic year is winding down at many colleges and so are many students' meal plans and bank account balances. Instead of reaching for the ramen noodles (AGAIN), grab your computer instead. That's what Greg Woloschyn did last year and it paid off: He created Food-bot and didn't pay for food for five months.
The then-senior and computer science major at Carnegie Mellon grew tired of scouring his campus for free dining options so he created an email account that screened messages from every mailing list on campus for food-related terms. Once that method proved successful, Woloschyn spent his winter break writing a more advanced computer program called Food-bot which used the information to populate a food calendar online. His findings weren't just doughnuts or pizza either: Woloschyn trained the program to rate the food mentioned in event listings (for example, steak earned a 10) and assigned "awkwardness" ratings for no-cost noshies at ethnic or religious-affiliated events.
One year later, Woloschyn's plate is pretty full: He's expanded Food-bot beyond Carnegie Mellon to serve empty-pocketed students at Berkeley, the University of Maryland at College Park, Duke, Case Western and MIT and has plans to develop mobile applications for Android phones and iPhones this summer when he's not at work as a software engineer for Qualcomm. If you've tried Food-bot, has it kept your belly and wallet satisfied?

DeBerry expected prices to stay near their mid-November levels through the rest of the year.
In early November, the prospects for strong mini-watermelon markets were good, Kertesz said. But increased volumes from Mexico and a decrease in demand on the East Coast in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy could affect movement.

Congratulations Blade!! Awesome news. No new suggestions over here, but from your list I also adore Leander (even though it is my son's middle name and I love it, I think it fits so well with Antoine). However, a name that has been suggested that I think fits even better is Pascal. Love that one on its own and even more-so with Antoine.
May 13th, 2013 11:52 PM #52
I wrote a short paragraph explaining why I don't like Leander, but I was having trouble with it, and then I realized it's because I guess I sorta do like Leander. I also like Leland. And Leonardo. And Leonidas. And Lev. Apparently if it begins with Le- I like it.
I speak enough French to get myself out of (or into) trouble if I ever find myself in a French-speaking country, but not enough that I look at Serge and go "SAIRZH!" That's kind of a drama queen example but you know what I mean. I just say the names like an American, for good or ill. So with that in mind, I love:
Serge - ha! But seriously.
Blaise - I love this so much
Louis - love!
And for not-French boy names, I like Victor and I don't know how you feel about this, but I love Virgil. I also like some of the classic dude names you mentioned, like Peter and George, and I think it would be kind of amazing to know of a sibset that consisted of Antoine and George.
I can also see a name like Ignatius or Leonidas or Ptolemy working for your kid. (How awesome is Ptolemy? Is it just me? My husband didn't even humor me with a verbal response when I mentioned this name. I just got a baleful eye and a slow head shake.)
I do think Antoine and Malcolm gives off a white guilt vibe. Or something weird.
I also like:
Whatever you pick, I know it's gonna be amazing. Congrats again!Mrs. H.
Trying for our first!
If it's a boy: Josiah Walker "Joe"
If it's a girl: Clementine Marvel

I really like Cyprian; it would be amazing to use this rare, ancient name. Ambrose is one I'd love to use myself, and again it's a marvelous, ancient name with gravitas that few dare to use. Ambrose and Antoine aren't too matchy; they start and end on the same letter, but all those in-between are different. Leander is cool too. Ignatious is a harder name to wear, but makes an awesome middle. And if you're trending toward ancient saints, don't forget Gregory, Isidore, Leo, Jerome.

If you get bored of me:
thnx Christophe
This February I`ll be heading to my 8th Fosdem in row.
I went to every single Fosdem so far, some years only one day because of other obligations but I was a round most of the time
During the first couple of years I was pretty active in the FIT team, helping out people to find the right rooms , keeping the fosdem contributions safe with Sven, funding different social events and devroom dinners ,
Later I was in charge of the HPC and Cluster devroom in which we also held the openMosix summits.
And back in 2004 I replaced Moshe at the openMosix Summit standing in front of a great audience at the Janson room.
As Wim just pointed out the Drupal Devroom schedule is out
and it seems like 2008 will be the year that I have to rush my talk in order for the Drupal Devroom to close its doors on Sunday evening. I'll be sharing my knowledge on MySQL cluster with the Drupal crowd for them to learn and benefit from.
So while Siteseeing I figured out that indeed NotchUp is a Drupal site.
Not only is it a Drupal site.. and not only can you import your LinkedIn contacts, but they also seem to be able to parse your profile (hResume) ? Do they have access to the LinkedIn API already ?
I was just hoping the could open up that part of their code :)
And yes.. they have a scaling issue :), so I`m guessing they will be the first to pay me real money to interview with them themselves.
Dear ComputerMinds you seem to have had the same problem I`m encountering today, nameley wanting to have a subscribe/unsubscribe to mailinglist form upon user registration, you also seem to have solved it once. albeit for Drupal 4.7 and you were once even sharing the code with us.
Would you please consider sharing it again, or am I overlooking other alternatives to do the same ?
While I`m at it lets figure out how to change the page a first time user gets when he logs on :)
Some people obviously think I`m still interresting enough to interview
Reminds me of my first interviews over a decade ago .. I`m still being remembered by one of my famous quotes back then rougly translated to "those toddlers steal my bandwith" , when being asked about how the growing userbase of the KULeuven PC rooms in the Dekenstraat influenced my network usage :) (Think 1994 ish :))
But the acutal news is that Profoss is coming closer and closer .. and you should now Register!
So all you Drupal and MySQL folks out there.. this is your chance to learn about virtualization !
Dear Lazyweb,
A couple of weeks ago I figured out how to create a multipage form , then some weeks later I figured out how to create a paged resultset
Tomorrow I`ll continue looking for a way to combine them both, but maybe the layzyweb can work while I`m sleeping
So the last couple of weeks we've been laughing at different new social networks .. wondering what the use of all those seemingly identical services is as we were looking for that killer extra service they are offering and why on earth (apart from identdity protection) we would want to sign up with with it.
Now Luke just pointed to Puppet being added on Ohloh. I remembered Ohloh and decided it deserved a second look.
I was positively surprised.. Ohloh lets you "stack" the Open Source projects you use then it suggests you with people that use similar tools, or similar tools.
If you stack Drupal it suggests you alternatives you don't need :)
But it also shows you a list of the Top Contributors
If you are an active contributor to a project there is more , it calculates your experience based on your commits in projects.. heck.. not really accurate as it lists me with 3 months C/C++ experience . And you can get Kudo's for your work :)
Now all it needs is being able to link with your friends so you can figure out what tools they are using :)
So time had come to move all my other blogs to drupal and move them away from blogger.
When I migrated this blog from dotclear to Drupal I found a php script that grabbed all the content from my dotclear setup and migrated it to a fresly installed drupal. I was hoping to find a similar tool for Blogger .
Well no such luck .. most of the links I found instructed me to first install wordpress, use the import functionality of wordpress then migrate from wordpress to Drupal.
Setting up a Wordpress and importing the Blogger postings took me about 10 minutes. Then the hunt for a WordPress to Drupal migration tool started .. first I ran into into a binary one that seemed to be able to connect too my database but couldn't find the wordpress databases. Next I ran into a drupal module that only worked on 4.6 But luckily at last I ran into http://dojotoolkit.org/~ktiedt/wp2drupal5.tar.gz A drupal module that works with 5.X well. not sure if it does .X but at least with .1 .. (as one of the tests I ran waas on a 5.2 and it failed there)
So a couple of manual changes of users mappings , setting up new themes and some postings on the old blogs that there was a new feed to be subscribed to I was ready to go...
Untill.. I couldn't log on to one of the blogs anymore .. I could ask for a onetime login session, ,manage from there .. then try to log on with the new password and promptly I was shown an Access Denied page . Weird..
The watchdog logs told me that the logon was successfull. but the next entry told me that it was the anonymous user failing access to the protected pages .
Thxn to gnat_x on #drupal_support I cleared my cookies and seemed to solve the issue.
He told me he had seen issues before with settings where www.example.com and example.com conflicted or it might have been beta.example.com and blog.example.com .. He was right.. so I`ll need to figure out how to set my base_url for the different drupals I have running :)
Everybody who once spent 5 minutes debugging drupal forms will spot the difference..
$form['currency'] = array( '#type' => 'textfield', '#title' => t('currency'), '#size' => 60, '#maxlength' => 255, '#default_value' => $dateset->currency, '#description' =>t('currency'));
Looks an awfull lot like
$form['currency'] = array( '#type' => 'textfield', '#title' => t('currency'), '#size' => 60, '#maxlength' => 255, '#value' => $dateset->currency, '#description' =>t('currency'));
Only the second one isn't much use in a form :)
I spent way too much time this weekend trying to get the pager stuff in Drupal working for a module I`m playing with.
I had learned a lot from the watchdog module on how paging was supposed to be working and I was trying to do the same with another database. As I got a page limited by the number of records I wanted but I couldn't find any of the fancy next, previous and page number thingies that I wanted.
The watchdog module worked for me and I started stripping the watchdog module till I could actually replace my function with watchdog_overview function. Even replaced the watchdog query with my qeury.. but not such luck.. I couldn't get $output .= theme('pager', NULL, 50, 0); to work.
theme('pager', NULL, 50, 0);
So as every open source geek does.. I started looking into the code. pager.inc
The header told me the author.. I could mail him and wait or even call him , , but I read on.
$pager_total_items[$element] = db_result(db_query($count_query, $args));
Never returned anything useful.., my mysql log learned me there never was any query with a count ..
Till I modified the pager.inc file to actually perform the query I wanted it to do.. and it started working.
Then I took a closer look at the regexp that was being used to create the $count_qeury
$count_query = preg_replace(array('/SELECT.*?FROM /As', '/ORDER BY .*/'), array('SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ', ''),$query);
However my query was all in lowercase so the count was never inserted.
$pager_total_items[$element] = db_result(db_query($count_query, $args));
$count_query = preg_replace(array('/SELECT.*?FROM /As', '/ORDER BY .*/'), array('SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ', ''),$query);
The only difference between the working watchdog module and my own code was in the use of uppercase SQL statements.
So call me lazy :)

'Langage Of Love' excerpt
'Midnight Lady' excerpt
Some great keyboard work on this 1981 instrumental album from Boy Katindig (real name Roland Katindig) from the Philippines, who's on rhodes, mini-moog, string ensemble and wide lapels here. Jazz-funk-fusion with some touches of late-70s Brazil samba, the last of which serves as a link to Bong Peñera, the only other Philippino jazz artist I know. Anyway, this album's more of an electric affair than the Peñera ones, with jazz-fusion at the forefront.
This is a donation by reader Ken, who was sent a vinyl rip by a friend in New York, and then passed it on to me - so a first for the blogosphere. Many thanks Ken!
Here's an excerpted bio from allaboutjazz :
"Jazz Pianist and International Recording Artist Boy Katindig, comes from a well-known clan of musicians who pioneered Latin jazz in Manila. His father is Philippines' jazz legend, Romy Katindig. After playing with a host of successful bands in Manila like "Bits & Pieces" & "Circus", Boy formed the "Boy Katindig Band" in 1978. In 1978, Boy signed up with A&W Records International and recorded several albums under the Horizon label. "Midnight Lady", his first album was awarded "Best Instrumental Composition" by the Himig Awards and Gold for the single which preceded it "Don't Ask My Neighbor". The album was released in the U.S. by PAUSA, who had fusion jazz pioneers Tom Grant & Alphonse Mouzon in its artist roster. The "Boy Katindig Band", which spawned out of the 'Midnight Lady" release, was also voted Best Jazz Group by the Aliw Awards Foundation consecutively for three years."
Best tracks for me are a cover of Rhythm Heritage's "Language Of Love" and Katindig's own title track "Midnight Lady", both uptempo tracks pushed along by the congas. There are a couple of duds - there's really no excuse for Billy Joel, you know - next wave, new wave etc ... it's still Billy Joel to me ...
Skip Scarborough's oft-recorded "Don't Ask My Neighbours" is probably best known as an Emotions song but here more references the Eddie Russ and Raul De Souza versions.
Anyway, check it out!
Katindig released several albums after this one and seems to be still touring around, visit him at MySpace.
01. 'Midnight Lady' (Roland Katindig) - 5:06
02. 'Don't Ask My Neighbours' (Skip Scarborough) - 10:25

EDMONTON - A seven-month-old baby girl dressed in pink spent 2-1/2 hours Tuesday in a stolen truck before being left in her car seat on the porch of a rural home outside Grande Prairie.
"It's the ending everyone was hoping for," said Jodi McWilliams, who was at the scene moments after the abduction Tuesday afternoon, and tried to chase the suspects in her own vehicle.
"I'm just really happy that it worked out the way it did. At the end of the day, here she is. She's back with her mom."
A provincewide Amber Alert was issued for baby Addison after the truck in which she had been sitting was stolen. It had been left running outside a house on 105th Street and 123rd Avenue in the Royal Oaks neighbourhood of Grande Prairie. The baby was taken between 12:30 and 1 p.m., and remained missing until she was found about 3 p.m. outside a rural home near Grovedale, approximately 23 kilometres away.
A tip from the public led police to the stolen truck, which was found at a lumber mill outside Grande Prairie about 4:15 p.m. Three people were taken into custody after a short chase on foot around the mill, and RCMP spokeswoman Josee Valiquette said there may be a fourth suspect as well. No charges had been laid in the case early on Tuesday evening.
Valiquette said she could not release any information about the circumstances around which the baby was found, including how long she was outside, or how the resident found out she was there. The temperature in Grande Prairie was about -16 C at the time. Valiquette said the baby appeared to be unharmed, but was taken to hospital for examination.
McWilliams said she was having lunch at her house on 105th Street in Grande Prairie when she heard the baby's mother screaming just after 12:30 p.m. McWilliams said the mother had been picking up something from the house next door and was standing outside, about six metres away from her idling truck. While the mother stood outside at the door, McWilliams said another truck pulled up behind the mother's vehicle, and a man jumped into the Dodge Ram and sped away with the truck — and the baby.
McWilliams said she and other bystanders jumped in their own vehicles and tried to catch the stolen truck, but couldn't find it.
"It took off pretty fast," said McWilliams. She described the mother as being extremely distraught.
While police headed to the scene, McWilliams said those with work trucks contacted their dispatchers to start spreading the word about the missing baby, and she took to social media to do the same.
"I'm a mom, too," she said. "Your immediate thought is, 'We have to get looking for this child.' "
McWilliams said she noticed some people on social media were being negative and judging the mother's action, but she hopes people understand how unexpected the situation was.
"In broad daylight, you aren't expecting (someone to steal your vehicle while you are right there)," she said. "I'm sure she feels horrible enough."
News of the child's abduction left others in the neighbourhood shaken.
"I can't even imagine," said Lorelei Letendre, who lives close to the spot where the baby was taken. "My heart goes out to that mother."
Letendre said her family has had vehicles broken into, and that thefts of all-terrain vehicles and quads and other property in the area seems to be on the rise.
Calandra Richardson, who lives on the next block, said hearing that the mother was close by when her truck was stolen made it even worse.
"It scared me," she said. "When that happens just up the street ... It could have happened to me."
Police are asking anyone with information to call Grande Prairie RCMP at 780-830-5701.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Chip giant Intel has confirmed that its next-generation microprocessors, code-named Ivy Bridge, will arrive around two months later than initially planned.
Delays have been rumoured for some time, amid speculation that the economic crisis has led to a slump in notebook sales, with several of Intel's top-tier notebook vendors unable to get rid of their Sandy Bridge notebook inventories.
However, speaking to The Financial Times, the company's executive vice-president Sean Maloney said that the delay was not caused by a lack of demand, but because of the new manufacturing process needed to make the smaller chips.
Originally scheduled for an April launch, mass shipments of Ivy Bridge - the processor set to succeed Intel's Sandy Bridge microarchitecture, currently used in Core i3, i5 and i7 chips - will begin eight to ten weeks later than initially planned, according to Maloney. Intel said that the company was on target to start shipping Ivy Bridge "in the second quarter".
The most notable difference between the Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge processors is that Intel is building the next generation CPUs using 22nm architecture - a nearly 30 percent drop in size from the existing 32nm chips. Ivy Bridge CPUs will consume less power and make more room for the integrated graphics chip, allowing Intel to boost the graphics processing capabilities by up to 60 percent. They will also support Microsoft DirectX 11.
The news comes as mobile operator Orange launches the first Intel-based smartphone, called Santa Clara, at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Today, ARM-based processors dominate among smartphones and tablets, but Intel is putting considerable resources into getting a slice of this growing market. The Santa Clara has an Intel Atom Z2460 processor at 1.6 GHz and runs Android OS.
"It's always good to have competition, because it gives consumers more choice. It also allows technology to improve faster, and at the end of the day when you have competition it also has an impact on pricing," said Yves Maitre, vice president for Devices at Orange Group.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

The comfort and the security that this place offered was great! Especially Yuji at the front desk. He went above AND beyond and truly made us feel welcomed. This atmosphere really made a difference in our experience of Mexico D.F. Gracias! "

hot dog lover – My fiance' and i must vist this place at least once a day during our vacation. the food is made fresh infront of you, the buns are so soft and fresh, the hot dog takes up the whole bun and the pickles taste as if they were made just yesterday. more crunch than valasic! love it, love it, love it!
You're missing out if you haven't gone yet, seriously! – I'm not a Chicago native but I can appreciate their style food! This place is small so it doesn't take long at all for the line to form outside. I'm sure it would be greatly appreciated if they picked a bigger spot because it's a pain to eat in. I don't think their menu is huge but I can't recall complaining! Their Chicago dogs and the Maxwell polish are THE best and I travel over 10 miles just to have them. I wasn't impressed by their chicken sandwich but come on! Go for the dogs! Simple but effective! This is an obvious mom and pop shop, and as usual you don't get the 'commercial' service or portions. The service is personable and their fast!
Editorial Review by Christy Buena – No frills hot dog stand serves a variety of Chicago-style dogs and serves corned beef, burgers and sandwiches.
Satisfying – been eating here since I worked across the street in 84. Incredible dogs and best fries out there. The hot peppers and tomatoes on the dog are special. Worth a trip, but remember, CLOSED ON SUNDAY!!!!!!!
Not cheap – Although the food at Hot Dog Heaven is good, I don't believe that paying $4 for a hot dog is worth it.
yummy – real good grease for the money! excelent onion ings & root beer too.
Reminds me of Home – I am a Chicago native and every time I eat at Hot Dog Heaven it reminds me of home. Their is nothing liek a great Chicago hot dog on a poppy seed bun with all the trimmings....
WOW Spicy – Are you looking for the best hot dogs? are you going crazy to get a great hot dog, well I got the cure for you come to Hot Dog Heaven, is one of the best place to ate a hot dog. This hot dogs are just like the one's in Chicago one of the best hot dogs are found in Chicago. All in all come to Hot Dog Heaven an let the angels of Hot Dog Heaven treat you the best.
Best Hangover Cure – I have been going to this little joint for more years than I can count and it has consistantly been great! Whenever I had a hangover...this place was the best cure. Now that those days have past...it's still the best dog...bar none
10 – This place is a gem for hot dog lovers! The dogs are the best, Chicago style, Chili, what ever you want! I have been a patron for many years and sometimes have to wait outside...BUT IT'S WORTH IT! Fast, cheap, GOOD!!!!

Every American knows the feeling of pride in the U.S. military. Most have never felt ashamed of it. But a new documentary is guaranteed to induce that awful feeling.
Nominated for an Oscar, "The Invisible War" features a procession of women who enlisted to serve their country and ended up abused and abandoned. The statistics are depressing: Some 3,000 sexual assaults were reported in 2011, but the true number is probably closer to 19,000. But only 2 percent of these reported crimes end in a court-martial conviction for the rapist. And 36 percent of those convicted stay in the military.
"The Invisible War" explains how the military system of justice empowers criminals and victimizes victims. It also gives a horrifying picture of the effect on the women (and men) who have been assaulted by those they are prepared to die with and for. Some suffered professional retaliation; some suffered lasting physical injuries; and one tried to commit suicide.
A female general says: "It's akin to what happens in a family with incest. Because in the military when we're functioning in a cohesive unit, as brothers and sisters, you know the band of brothers and sisters, I mean we are family. When that bond of trust is violated, the wound penetrates to the very most inner part of one's soul, one's psyche."
The film provoked Defense Secretary Leon Panetta to change the reporting rules for these crimes. It's a start -- but only a start.

I installed iDeneb 1.3 and then 10.5.7 on my HP Compaq Mini 110 using the awesome guide from Version 2 - HP MINI OSX 10.5.7 Walkthrough
After completing the guide, I installed the video drivers from here to get quartz. Sleep, iSight, Quartz, Sound... All working, except the mic.
But then I decided to install two seemingly harmless updates: QuickTime and iTunes.
After the restart, the grey screen progress indicator thing will keep spinning forever.
I would never expect installing a few media players could mess up my system! (But it did)
-v shows that it freezes after:
Note that -x doesn't even workMAC Framework successfully initialized
using 5242 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers
So my question is, what can I delete or move around in single user mode to get it working again?

If you read some more of this Topic (or many of the other Topics in this Forum that are talking about recording widescreen) you'll see that it's really up to your cable box as to whether it can output non-letterboxed widescreen 480i over a compatible kind of A/V connection (Composite, S-Video, Component). Then you have the second issue of whether your recorder will automatically recognize that it is receiving a widescreen signal, and set the flag on the resulting DVD appropriately, or if you can tell it manually to do that, or worst case, that you have to set the flag through a procedure involving a PC. So you see there is a fair bit to the answer(s) to your question, and "try it and see" is one of the best ways of finding the answer, I realize that doesn't help you without a DVD Recorder to try it with in front of you, but looking around at some of the Topics that talk about this problem/issue may help you find a model of DVD Recorder that at least can manually set the widescreen flag, if not automatically. Then it will just be up to your cable box, as to whether it can provide an appropriate signal, as I first outlined.

Offsite power restored to Dominion's North Anna Power Station
- August 24, 2011
- |
Dominion Virginia Power's North Anna Power Station has restored off-site power, eliminating the need to rely on back-up generators. Following a 5.8 earthquake Tuesday, the station remains in an "alert" status, the second lowest of the four emergency classifications of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
The company said in a release that power was restored Tuesday night. The station's two nuclear reactors shut down after the quake, which occurred shortly before 2 p.m. The epicenter was near Mineral, a small town just a few miles from the power station. The release said reactors shut down automatically, and there was no damage to the plant's safety systems. Several aftershocks felt in the region last night did not affect the station. Its four diesel generators supplied power while off-site power was unavailable. Dominion Virginia Power said one of the four generators was taken off-line to repair a generator coolant leak, but a fifth generator at the station was activated to replace it until offsite power was restored. At this time, repairs are complete to the diesel generator. The company did not say when the plant's two nuclear reactors would be restarted.
It inspected the Lake Anna Dam after the earthquake and found no damage. Dominion Virginia Power is a subsidiary of Dominion. With a Richmond headquarters, Dominion is one of the nation's largest producers of energy.

I recently downloaded the now public demo for Resident Evil 6 and quickly realized it was split into three different parts, all dealing with a separate character. After deciding I wanted to do a hands-on impression of the demo, I figured the best way to do so would be to separate the three characters and talk about them all individually before diving into my overall impressions of the demo. Below is the outcome of my thought process.
Leon's section revolves around him meeting up with a lady while simultaneously having to deal with our president who is bitten and coming closer and closer to the new girl. Leon is having none of that and takes the president out. It is then revealed that Leon doesn't know who the girl is but they are tied together somehow. That how is left to be discovered later on in the game.
Leon's gameplay revolved more around some older games in the franchise. Apart from the redesigned UI and ability to move when you aim, Leon's section is very reminiscent of Resident Evil 4. The problem here is that the new UI and movement detract away from one of the main, if not controversial, staples of the Resident Evil franchise. It doesn't completely tarnish the experience by any means but it detracts from it greatly, making you feel like you're playing a whole separate game instead of the new Resident Evil.
Apart from that little complaint, everything within Leon and Helana's (unknown lady) little section is perfectly competent and feels like more Resident Evil. The visuals get very choppy at times and the cheese within the story can be smelled from a mile away. Like I said, it's Resident Evil.
This is where things begin to differ a tad. Chris' section introduces a whole new style of gameplay, a style very similar to Gears of War. You are Chris Redfield and you are in the military, you're dropped off at a location, and you must then shoot a bunch of guys with your machine gun. This whole part is the complete opposite of what Resident Evil is about; instead it diverges deeply into the action genre. Diving into the action genre more than horror is a big complaint many had about Resident Evil 5 so why that would return in an even stronger way with Resident Evil 6 is beyond me.
The combat itself is borderline awful. Resident Evil's mechanics just do not lend themselves well to only combat. Not only is it frustrating to aim, the guns themselves lack any kind of force or feel that would make you want to continue using them. Every single thing about this section felt flat and lifeless which is an issue that could very well carry over to the retail product. On one positive note, this portion of the game looked much better than Leon's did. Maybe it was because it was daytime and had no rain, either way, it looked sharp.
Jake Muller is the newest addition to the Resident Evil franchise. Introduced as Wesker's son, you can see why he's an integral part of the story. But the story goes deeper in his eyes as Wesker abandoned him while he was just a boy and eventually Jake realized he must take jobs as a mercenary in order to support his aging and ailing mother. He eventually meets up with a lady named Sherry who needs his blood as he could be the key to "saving the world."
From there, Resident Evil happens. You shoot guys with a pistol, sniper, machine gun, shotgun, etc. as you traverse across a torn apart land leading Sherry beside you the whole way. Jake's section seems to blend the Chris and Leon sections into one as it shows hints of both horror and pure action sequences. Even if his combat isn't going to blow anyone away, I definitely find Jake's story to be very interesting and interest is something the Resident Evil series is beginning to lack.
Overall Impressions
Resident Evil 6 has been garnering a lot of negative press as its release inches closer and closer, some of it warranted and some of it not warranted. I'm beginning to see myself falling in between the positive and negative side as I'm not ready to call Resident Evil 6 an abject failure just yet as it shows promise with an interesting character in Jake and some absolutely gorgeous visuals. Well, when it isn't dark and raining, of course.
That being said, I just don't know if the combat can continue to hold up through yet another eight hour experience. I understand puzzles will be thrown in there at random intervals but even those have decreased in quality as the franchise has continued on. Resident Evil 6 still has a lot to prove and we'll find out if Capcom can pull together one more quality Resident Evil game come October 2nd.

Singer-songwriter Lionel Richie got his start in Motown as part of the Commodores, but it's as a solo artist that he really shines. He became one of the most successful male solo artists of the 1980s, earning No. 1 hits starting with his debut in 1982 with "Truly." His other hits include the Caribbean-flavored "All Night Long," "Endless Love" with Diana Ross, "Hello" and "Say You, Say Me," which also won an Academy Award and a Golden Globe. Now the five-time Grammy winner is following up a sold-out European run with a North American tour, including a stop at the Xfinity Center. He'll perform hits from his 30-year discography, beginning with his eponymous 1982 debut and extending through 2012's Tuskegee, a platinum-selling collection that features duets of his hits with a variety of artists. Word on the street is that these concerts tend to become a giant sing-along, so brush up on your lyrics and get ready for some of the greatest ballads the '80s had to offer and much more.
