Both the golden age of the Renaissance state and the catastrophic era of the Wars of Religion, this fascinating period in French history has been oddly neglected by English-language historians. Professor Baumgartner's book fills a major gap in the textbook market: an accessible, fully current account which covers the principal political, economic and cultural themes from Francois I's successful centralization of the state, through France's near prostration under the Catholic-Huguenot civil war, and ending with the accession of Henri IV.
In this readable history, Baumgartner gives a straightforward account of how feudalism became the early modern eraunimpeded by a strident agenda (well, maybe a little rehabilitating of Catherine de Medici). Starting with the meeting of the Estates General in 1484 and ending with that of 1614 (the last meeting prior to the Revolution), Baumgartner divides this ``long sixteenth century'' into three chronological sections, each with chapters on the monarchy, church, nobility, common people, judiciary and culture and thought. Although its rigidity leads to some tenuous connections (for example, it's not entirely clear why French colonization is in the section on the people, 1562-1614), it's a generally useful program, showing how the different estates were tied together and how each evolved separately. Despite the bloody wars of religion, the Catholic church that would emerge from the century was similar to that which entered it. The most important change was in the monarchy, which, with the help of client judiciary, evolved from a suzerain with rights and responsibilities to vassals to an absolute monarchy, while the nobility's traditional warrior function was abrogated. Although clearly intended for course adoption, Baumgartner's (Henry II: King of France, 1547-1559) history will help a general audience understand how the moyen ge gave way to the ancien rgime.

It looks like a bear, but isn't one. It climbs trees as easily as a monkey but isn't a monkey, either. It has a belly pocket like a kangaroo, but what's a kangaroo doing up a tree? Meet the amazing Matschie's tree kangaroo, who makes its home in the ancient trees of Papua New Guinea's cloud forest. And meet the amazing scientists who track these elusive animals.
To read about scientists tracking tree kangaroos in the cloud forest is an exciting journey as written by Sy Montgomery and accompanied by Nic Bishop's photographs. The text is interesting and the pictures magnificent. The expedition's goal is to find, capture, study, and release tree kangaroos. After the kangaroos are outfitted, they are returned to the wilderness. Collars are implanted with transmitters, internal antenna, and computer chips. In this way, kangaroos send their positions to scientists on the ground and to satellites circling thousands of miles above the earth. Transmitters weigh less than a half pound and fall off after five months. Little is known about tree kangaroos so all information will be groundbreaking. Cloud forests are much less known than tree forests. Cloud forests are amazing, whether reading about them or traveling to Papua New Guinea. Orchids grow everywhere, from fallen logs to cracks in tree bark. Vines grow and cover other plants. Beautiful flowers of every description are plentiful. The group of professionals on this expedition came from all over the world. Supplies for the trip were extensive and included professional gear, as well as necessities for the scientists and native helpers. Various suggestions to children for following up this exciting journey include the opportunity to join an "International Bug Club" with a pen pal in Puqua, New Guinea.

Flashback from V. Saxena: Jim Garrison, founder and president of the "safe space" known as Ubiquity University, has written a piece for The Huffington Post proclaiming the Islamic prophet Mohammed to be a feminist.
In a 1300-word piece devoid of facts and common sense, Garrison maintained that Mohammed — who, as a reminder, married 13 wives, including a 6-year-old girl — "would be appalled by how current Islamic Fundamentalists are treating women under their control":
It has little basis in the Quran and it is certainly not consistent with anything we know about what Muhammad taught or how he treated women. Of all the founders of the great religions – Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Islam and Judaism — Muhammad was easily the most radical and empowering in his treatment of women. Arguably he was history's first feminist.
Please excuse me for a second as I channel Michael Jordan:
Quick question: What drugs has this man been consuming!?
Writing for Breitbart, a real scholar by the name of Dr. Thomas D. Williams, PhD, quickly and effectively dismantled everything Garrison tried to claim about both Islam and Mohammed.
First, the Quran specifically "permits Muslims to have sex with their female captives and slaves," he noted.
Second, in regard to prosecuting crime, Mohammed maintained that "in the absence of a male witness, two women had to be brought to testify."
And here's my favorite: Mohammed strongly believed that the majority of Hell's inhabitants are women because of their "lack of common sense" and their "failings in religion."
It is no wonder Muslims resent it when people either draw or mock their prophet — because he was such a great guy, obviously (sarcasm alert).
The stupidity inherent in Garrison's piece is beyond the pale…
Mohammed was in reality a despicable and dare I say DEPLORABLE human being who did not care an iota for women or women's rights.
In fact, the only rights he cared about were the alleged rights of men to treat females like chattel, making girls and women alike subservient to their every perverse desire.
If this is what feminism looks like and what sort of liberation Muslim truly seek, then, in the words of Dr. Williams, "Heaven help them."

Vital Stats
- Player: BB Moloi
- Company: Moloi & Co Accountants
- Launched: 2013
"Do you want to work or study?" That was the only question BB Moloi's supervisor had for him. He worked the 12-hour night shift as a security guard, squeezed in two hours of college before his shift started, and managed a few hours of sleep, before waking up, doing his assignments, going to class and taking his shift. Day in and day out.
Instead of support and encouragement, he faced challenges. "I didn't want to be a security guard my whole life, but I also couldn't afford to study without that job, so I ignored everyone's opinions, put my head down and worked."
Related: From Simple Idea To Sideline Business: How Nkosenhle Hlophe Spotted An Opportunity
Finding Entrepreneurship
Moloi's hard-won degree was not the end of his challenges however. "For the first time I realised that simply having a qualification does not solve all your problems," he says.
"I struggled to find work. I'd studied accounting, but all I could find was work as a prison visitor for the Judicial Inspectorate of Prisons, taking prisoner complaints. It was not what I wanted out of life. I resigned and was fortunate to find a work programme for unemployed accounting graduates in Kyalami, run by Guarantee Trust. Guarantee Trust managed to place me at Delicado & Kie/Co Accountants in Carltonville. It was a three year experiential training programme that amounted to articles."
The three years came to an end and Moloi found himself back where he began: Jobless. A brief stint with Southern Sun Hotel Group as a finance intern was frustrating because Moloi was overqualified for the job.
And then he stumbled across a position that would start to define his career: He landed a job as a teacher at an ABET centre. Just like that, he had a plan. "I could teach in the evenings, and start building my business during the day. I had realised that the only way I was going to find the job that I wanted was if I created it for myself." BB Moloi the entrepreneur was born.
Formulating A Plan
"I worked for almost three years while I got the business off the ground. The teaching business gave me the time to save some capital and become creditworthy, so that I could take out a bank loan for a computer, accounting software and a car." That side of things was easy. The real challenge was finding clients.
"I thought about what I knew, and realised that was Diepsloot. I understood how the businesses operated, what their challenges were, and most of all, I was from Diepsloot, so I knew I'd be trusted."
Even so, Moloi printed and handed out hundreds of fliers, and received exactly zero phone calls. "Being local isn't enough," he says. "People trust referrals. I needed to be even more targeted in my approach."
Moloi turned his attention to schools, creches, preschools and home-based caregivers: Anyone who received funds from the Department of Social Development or the Department of Health.
"These were businesses who had to be audited statutorily, but thought they couldn't afford accounting firms and so they did their books themselves, even though they didn't know what they were doing. I needed just one client and I knew I'd have my foot in the door."
This is precisely what happened. Moloi convinced the owner of a crèche to give him a chance. He was affordable, and able to show her where she could unlock cash in her business. Word of mouth did its work, and soon Moloi had a strong client book.
Related: ReWare Did One Crucial Thing That Most Entrepreneurs Are Too Afraid To Do
Building The Business
Of course, he still needed to be smart about how he grew the business. "I started out in a 4m x 3m space that was my office, bedroom and kitchen. Hiring an employee was impossible. As soon as I moved into a garage I split the space in two, and hired an employee.
"I was a teacher, so I knew that anyone was teachable. I focused on attitude instead. I knew I couldn't afford someone with a lot of experience, so I looked for a positive individual who was willing to learn and work hard. My second hire was a great student from the school, and I've grown from there.
"That's my niche, with clients and employees. I teach clients who are new to accounting and tax practices the ins and outs of their books, and where they're wasting money. I do the same with my employees. The result is that we all grow together."
Lessons Learnt
Like all start-ups, Moloi has also had to learn some hard lessons. "I interview all of my clients before I agree to do business with them. Obviously I need clients and I want to grow the business, but you get good and bad clients.
"If someone is disgruntled with their previous firm, I'm wary. It might be because of a problem with the firm, but in my experience it's more likely a difficult, demanding client who is also a bad payer, or who wants big discounts. That's not a client worth having — they cost you more in time and energy than they bring in.
"Spending 60% of your time on 10% of your turnover happens faster than you think. I need to be careful, manage my time, and also manage the expectations of my clients. I've found that being upfront from the beginning is the best strategy. That way everyone knows exactly what is expected of them, and what will be offered in return."
Unsurprisingly, Moloi's real growth strategy is centred on training. He's in the process of becoming an approved training centre with SAIPA, and is working on a funding proposal. He wants to build Moloi & Co Accountants, but also add value to his community, and give youngsters the opportunities that he had to fight so hard to achieve.
Do This
For every challenge there is a solution. Focus on what and who you know. Where are their pain points? And what can you do to alleviate those challenges for them?

Peugeot will soon be launching the world's first diesel hybrid, a 3008-based four-wheel-drive car, which offers 200bhp and 369lb ft and utilizes a diesel-electric drivetrain. Emitting just 99g/km of CO2, the Hybrid 4 is an otherwise-conventional front-drive car that is powered by a 163bhp 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine fitted with a stop-start system.
Modifications related to the hybrid system, which adds 100kg to the weight of the car, include the incorporation of an electric motor (good for 36bhp and 147lb ft at full tilt) and twin driveshafts for the rear wheels.
Under the boot floor, you can find a battery pack and a pair of electronic control units. To minimize costs, the Peugeot is using its existing self-shifting "robotized" six-speed box (with the automatic clutch actuation); there's also the option of wheel-mounted paddles.
Connecting the two powertrains is a series of underfloor cables, some of which carry the electrical charge generated by the engine's stop-start mechanism to the rear-mounted battery pack.
The Hybrid4 can run in front-drive, all-wheel drive, sport and purely rear-drive modes, which offers zero emission but can only run a few miles at city speeds. The current prototype is returning 109g/km, but with aerodynamic tweaks and low-resistance tires, could go down to less than 100g/km.
Within 20 months, Peugeot engineers should already have finished the computer software to synchronize the two powertrains, and completed the testing in extreme conditions in Spain and Sweden.
The hybrid set-up requires few structural changes to basic platforms as it has been designed to fit both PSA's Platform 2 (Citroen C4/Peugeot 308) and Platform 3 (Citroen C5/Peugeot 407). Initially, the hybrid will cost at least 15% more than a conventional top-spec 3008 but sources say the price will drop as the system is rolled out across more model lines. [via autocar]

Q: 1992 Ford ranger cranks up fine runs untill it gets warm on 1992 Ford Ranger
Truck runs fine gets warm shuts down and won't run untill it cools down got fire from coil and distibator to plugs got power to injectors and got fuel smells like its flooding.pulled plugs wet with fuel
Check your codes, you have a codes system on this truck called EEC-IV. If you have a bad MAP Sensor or bad coolant sensor, that will foul the plugs. Also, check fuel pressure, it should be about 40 psi. I have seen the fuel pressure regulators wear out and cause flooding as well. Now, you are dead sure that you have spark, at the plugs, when it will not start? I ask this because I have seen a lot of ignition components go on these trucks ( I used to be a Ford DealershipTech ) and when they get hot, they do NOT work. So, more food for thought.

sound like a bad coil even if it has spark at first it can lose it when its hot..

This was a decent hotel with some high spots, and a potentially damaging problem resolved. We had excellent support on the day we arrived from the Dutch receptionist who spoke excellent English. She gave us clear directions to reach the hotel after the Tourist Information Office had sent us entirely the wrong way. She also offered excellent suggestions of local restaurants based on our preferences. She was a treasure, including ensuring that my wife and I got a double bed. Indeed all the staff were friendly and helpful.
Our room, overlooking the inyard as beneficially indicated by other reviewers was spacious. The shower room wasn't wonderful but the shower worked really well. The bedroom walls had been patched, and would look much better for a coat of emulsion, but it was clean and warm. The double bid did drift apart on the last night, but this was potentially funny rather than a major problem.
The one potentially major concern was that we had Dutch friends who had booked to join us for one night. When they arrived they were told the hotel had been overbooked and they had been booked into another hotel. After some assertiveness our Dutch friends were told they could stay where they had booked, but their room was much smaller than ours. This was resolved, so I don't want to make too much of it, but it is a practice that will leave clients doubtful about booking here. I'd be pleased to hear that will discontinue this practice.
Nonetheless, I think this was a rare event, although I did note another review, and have booked to stay here again in May, when I expect we will have a good stay again.

Tormented by the knowledge that his father died thinking the worst of him, Colt Hall never meant to come home to Chance Creek. But with his brothers banding together to rebuild the family's old ranch, he's finding it hard to stay away. In accordance with the conditions for them to inherit the spread, Colt must soon marry. Too bad the only woman he wants is Heather Ward, the girl he walked away from years ago without saying good-bye.
Heather hid a secret for 12 long years, but when the Halls moved back to town it was only a matter of time before the truth came out. Now everyone but Colt knows he has a son. She'll get one chance to convince Colt to forgive her - and become the father Richard has always longed for. If she answers Colt's online ad for a temporary wife, will he fall in love with her before he learns the truth?
Colt knows it's crazy to try to find a wife through an Internet ad, and it's even crazier to fall for a stranger who wants far more than a temporary marriage, but Helena Warner reminds him so much of Heather, he begins to wonder if the two might be the same woman. Heather can't believe she's using a fake name to seduce the father of her own child, but is it possible Colt might know more about her true identity than he's letting on? Once all the lies and secrets are stripped bare, Colt and Heather must answer the ultimate question: Can a love interrupted ever be renewed?

even a better listen! great story still!
catchy, will stick with me, nice voice to listen to. (had some loud places, but not sure if that was my media or the audios, not sure where to even report that, just an FYI)
Heather! Strong yet vulnerable, great mother, great woman, struggles but tries and tries to do what's right and is just real!
Colt- she captured his personality, how he feels, how he expresses himself.
YES! it was exciting! even after reading it and then listening to it, I wanted it all at once! ached through it, cried, laughed, and just kept going!
still wanted to smack Colt, even more so "hearing" how...flustered? he got with the situation...but loved it still! great ending! and I enjoyed listening to the words!

I loved this story! It is so well written and the idea of an email order bride puts a new spin on the mail order brides of the old west. This is such a great concept.
Colt definitely! My heart hurt for all his pain and the guilt he carried. It is such a life lesson. We hold onto guilt and can only see the situation from our POV. When Colt's family showed him how much they loved him and didn't blame him for his dad's death it was such a help in his healing.
I didn't like this narrator nearly as much as the one in the first book of this series. When listening to the second book after immediately hearing the first one I almost didn't get through it.
When Colt told the family about everything he felt such guilt over and their love and concern helped his healing. He had been in such pain for so long. When he went to visit the parents of his friend he couldn't save and the conversation they had with him had me in tears.
I love this series. It will be one I listen to again.

Using Print Screen-Pasting in Paint - and how can I print full page
Hi: I have done a Print Screen of my desktop and pasted it in Paint. Then saved the file on my hard drive - which I have done in the past. But now I cannot get it printed out on a full page (81/2 x 11 Page). Why? I have done this before but cannot do so tonight. I can print but in smaller size.

Once you paste it in Paint, click on Resize. What does it show for Percentage and Pixels?
Also try opening it in Windows Photo Viewer and printing from there.

Unanswered: Please help on some questions!
I'm trying to design a database and running into some questions which I couldn't figure it out.
1. I'd like to let the user input any keywords in a text box and the Access searches the corresponding fileds with the combination and any of the keywords the user typed, just like the Google does.
2. Is it possible to search the content of a linked file in Access, including PDF, DOC, XLS, PPT?
3. How can I open a file with only one button or link whatever the file format is (e.g.:PDF, DOC, XLS, PPT)?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm newbie in Access and VB coding, so please include samples if it's possible.

this reply is going to be vague because it would take hours of work to give a full reply.
you can get the user to input some keywords, then you parse the input to separate it into individual words (procedure is to use instr() to find the space (or separator dictated by you) and mid$() to make the individual words), and then you can construct SQL with a ....WHERE tbl.fld = kw1 OR tbl.fld = kw2 OR etc
you can save this SQL as a qrydef or run it immediately as SQL depending on your desired result.
content of:
PDF: probably yes, but difficult i guess! open a .PDF with a hex editor and examine the structure - what you can see in a hex editor can be searched in A. but it is going to be slow!
DOC: text yes, other stuff more difficult
XLS: easy - built-in A functionality
PPT: hmmmmmmmmmm - you would need to explain what you mean
one button open:
lots of code!
my first guess is that nobody here is going to give you a full answer to your hydra-headed question: try some experiments and if you get stuck on one aspect of the problem, post a question. "big" questions tend not to get answered here.

What do you get when you put together a high profile activist/actress (our beloved Susan Sarandon), a cackle of table tennis aficionados, a beehive of good will and the profoundly beautiful collective of such beloved activist? What you get (with a touch of vodka) is the remarkable ensemble that managed to come along last night at Spin to raise funds and awareness for the victims of the natural disaster that has recently struck Haiti. A spur of the moment event, it managed to congregate the viciously high cheek boned set, the fashion elite and one of the most adored evenings we've had in a long while.
In conjunction with Spin and the boys and girls at Modelina a well attended evening was very much in play. With the deck canvassed with sprawling table tennis match offs, (yes we couldn't believe it either- Miss Universe and Miss USA were there beating the pants off each other in a spirited game of table tennis…), genuine fun (we advocate going forward at least three table tennis podiums at every fashion event for the rest of eternity) and the eager support to come along and pay homage to a new scene that has being causing media havoc of late and of course bringing well intended relief of the victims of Haiti.

I would like to change the background color of these buttons - can anyone suggest a way to do so?
DotCreativity commented
Are you looking to change the text on the buttons? There would different ways of doing it, the easiest way would be to do a search and replace. This syntax is as follows:
replace("original text", "new text");
You can also target a specific section of the page using
So, put together it would be
document.gElementById("elementIdName").innerHTML.replace("original text", "new text");
If you seems to complex, feel free to contact me and I can set this up for you.

I learned to juggle during my PE methods class in college when we were required to develop a physical education unit to teach to a group of fifth graders. I had long ago accepted my complete lack of any measurable sport skill, but my own personal acknowledgement of this fact didn't seem to hold much hope of getting me out of the project. So, I decided to go against the norm. Instead of teaching a unit on dribbling a basketball or throwing a perfect pitch, I'd teach the students to juggle. We had to turn in our project proposals at the beginning of the semester and I was proud of my quirky choice. However, I quickly came upon many problems with my decision, the main one being that I didn't know how to juggle.
It's always something…
Undaunted, I found a book and video and began to practice, first with scarves, then with bean bags. I quickly learned that in order to juggle, I needed to develop a flow that made each step of the process come together. If I concentrated too much on any one part or forgot a piece of the process, the whole thing would quickly fall apart. So what does juggling have to do with building a collaborative classroom?
Just like the art of juggling, there are several skills that need to be balanced and constantly monitored in a collaborative classroom to make it all come together:
Trying to juggle students in groups is probably the most challenging part of collaborative learning for me. Homogenous or heterogeneous grouping? Student choice or teacher choice for group members? I tend to group students differently depending on the task at hand. For some tasks, I group them by ability, especially if I'm worried that weaker learners might be overwhelmed by their peers. Usually, though I use mixed ability grouping. Often, I teach students to identify their strengths and use these to help determine groups. Here are a couple of strategies that I've used to form groups:
• You pick, I pick. Students pick one partner, I pick another pair to join them.
• Pitch and Pick. Individuals pitch multiple ideas for topics, then all students decide which of the ideas they'd like to join in on, I pick which of those go forward.
• What do you have, what do you need? Students define the skills needed for a project and decide which skills they excel at and which they need assistance with. I pair students for a balance of skills within each group.
Teacher role
Another skill I have to continually juggle is my own role with collaborative work. I want students to work independently, but know I can't usually leave them completely to their own devices. I use a method with groups that I like to call butterfly management where I move between groups, observing and listening to their work and only alighting into a team when I see they are either moving off task or are getting bogged down on a concept.
Student role
Students need to learn to juggle their own personal needs with the needs of their group, which can be tough at first. I try to mix individual responsibility for learning with group accountability whenever I can using strategies such as the DRI method I talked about in a reply at Establishing a Collaborative Culture. (Note: the reply I mention here is pasted into a comment below for those who are not part of the NJPLP group) Two other ideas for helping students work in a group are by having students constantly rotate tasks within a group or by using a daily reflection for feedback. This year, we've begun to use Google Forms to create self-evaluation rubrics such as this one for our Design classes and this one for our Directed Studies students.
What are the things you juggle in order to make collaboration work for you? How do you keep all the balls in the air so that your learning outcomes are met?

A question from a member of the NJPLP group asked about how to deal with collaboration when one member either takes over the project or doesn't do their fair share. My reply to the question follows:
A book I read several years back called The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz shared 4 thoughts that I take with me into every collaboration. It helped me to come to an understanding that while I can work on being present and aware for others, everyone has a different perception of their interactions and can't read my thoughts. The Four Agreements he shares are:
• Be impeccable with your word.
• Don't take it personally.
• Don't make assumptions.
• Always do your best.
In fact, these four thoughts are ones that I usually share with students when we first begin working in groups because they so simply define how to build trust, acceptance, and awareness.
You know what's funny about your statement "I find more often than not that there's always one student who feels that she's doing the bulk of the work" is that it's the same thing I hear from teachers who work with every grade level from Kindergarten through high school! There are many ways to break this kind of cycle and we'll explore them more in depth in another discussion, but let me share one that has worked for me.
When I begin a cooperative project with students, I give them time first to go over the task together, make a list of items that need to be completed and have them assign a DRI (designated responsible individual) for each segment of the work. Every individual in the group must be a DRI for at least one portion of the project. Depending on the project at hand, it might be that their roles will come sequentially or that every DRI will be working on a separate part of the project concurrently. However, the twist is that the DRI cannot do all the work they are responsible for themselves – instead they have to manage the input and request contributions from other team members for their piece.
So, it sets up an automatic give-take relationship where students want to get their DRI piece finished, but must agree to help others so that those students in turn will help them. When I grade, there are usually three parts – the final project in its entirety, the individual contributions they made, and their productivity as a DRI. I usually do this for a few projects early on until I think students have gotten the rhythm of working together and I often find they continue this way of working even after it's not mandated.
I'd love to hear other ideas that have worked for getting all students to contribute equally!

Hi guys! I did a little sewing this weekend for a great series over at Sewpony called 'When We Were Young.' This is an slow-paced ongoing series in which guests find a photo of an outfit from their own childhood to recreate for their child. You can read the Glitter+Wit installment of When We Were Young here. And also see some photos of me as a child! I won't spoil the surprise of exactly what look I was trying to recreate (visit Sewpony for that), but I do have an excess of photos I must share of E's new dress. Can you guess which year I was trying to capture? Ha!
Pattern: Sunki by Figgy's + Debbie's Birthday Dress by Sewpony + self-drafted
Size: 3, though it turned out a bit larger than I wanted
Fabric: picked up from the quilting cottons section at my favorite fabric shop
Twill tape all the things, I guess.

They sent me an offer a few weeks ago to transfer the balance to a new card....no thanks.
The problem is, do I pay it off and help my utilization or just wait for it to eventually fall off? I just got two secured cards, Bank of America and Capital One, along with 3 store cards which should help my utilization. My total available credit would be about 1200. This one has been haunting me and I don't even want to contact them for fear of making it wors . I'm at about 544 right now but I believe it's because this first premier card is making my utilization appear to be 133%.
Thanks in advance!

Pay it off. Also you can see if they will accept a lower pay off amount. Either way it's going to be on your credit report for at least another 3 to 6 years.

People are saying this woman overreacted, but personally, we think this was a pretty appropriate reaction to a spider. Thankfully, no one was seriously hurt, except for hopefully that damn spider.
Angela Kipp, a 35-year-old mother from Indiana, was backing out of her driveway when a spider landed on her shoulder. Now, this is scary and/or gross for most people, so you'd think she would just scream and smack the spider away. But nope. This woman peaced the hell out of her car altogether. While it was still moving. With her child inside.
Inside the still moving car was Kipp's 9-year-old child, who then jumped into the front seat to try and stop the car, reports KTRK-TV. Seeing as this kid was just 9-years-old and had yet to take a driver's test, they hit the accelerator instead of the brake. The spider reportedly giggled maniacally as its evil plan unfolded.
The car crashed into a nearby school bus, which was blessedly completely empty. Kipp's kid only suffered minor injuries.
We're suspicious of this story because how do we know it wasn't the spider who pressed down on the accelerator? Spiders are known a--holes so for all we know, it wasn't just trying to scare the mom; it was trying to steal the car! Probably to drive off and scare more people with its creepy eight legs and fuzzy body and ugh. Spider are the worst.
But seriously, we're really thankful no one was hurt. But next time you see a spider in your car, definitely assume it might be car-jacking you.

December 15th, 2005, 10:39 AM #1Fixing the CJ interface with GreaseMonkey
Anyone use GM to hack up the CJ interface? Two things that have annoyed me is that it takes a few clicks to show me yesterday's report (Run Reports->Performance Reports), and that you have to go into the mail pane to see if you have new mail.
I finally got a GM script working that adds a button directly to the performance reports on the top bar, to the right of "mail". Also, I've modified the mail button itself to show the number of total and new messages.
Anyone else doing this?
Before I release it, can someone let me know if the number in the url (member/xxxx/publisher) is different for everyone? Mine ends in 81, and isn't the same as my account number that appears after my name at the top.

could you please give a "guide of how to for idiots" like me plz ;-)
December 15th, 2005, 11:36 PM #6
I'm not sure what kind of How To you're looking for... Greasemonkey is a Firefox extension that lets you write javascript code that can modify the page being viewed before it's rendered on the screen. In this case, I insert an extra
tag with a link to the reports, make a request behind the scenes to view mail, and then modify the text of the mail link.
Google for greasemonkey and you'll see a lot of information. To install the script (after installing GM), you just view it in firefox and click the "install" button that comes up.
GM can do a lot of things, one of the coolest examples I've seen is when you go to Amazon, a GM script can go and compare prices at other online booksellers, and display the results on the Amazon page.

As Flagler College students strolled back onto campus Wednesday after summer break, they surely noticed the changes to the campus with the addition of the Ringhaver Student Center and the Molly Wiley Art Building.
They may be less aware of the new designations given to the school by the Princeton Review, publishers of "Best 366 Colleges: 2008 Edition."
The new book has Flagler College ranked high on four lists, two that are flattering and two that are not as much.
First, the good news. The people at The Princeton Review chose Flagler to join their "Best Southeastern Colleges" list and designated them as one of "America's Best Value" colleges.
"Obviously, we're quite pleased," said Flagler President William Abare. "Any time there's any ranking where we can be considered in the top 25 percent of the country, I think that speaks for itself."
Abare said it reflects not only on the faculty and staff, but the caliber of students.
But the students themselves also gave Flagler some not-so-flattering rankings.
Based on student surveys, Flagler ranked as No. 6 on the "Their Students (Almost) Never Study" list. Students also dogged the food enough to place the liberal arts college as No. 12 on the list of "Is It Food?"
The Princeton Review surveyed about 120,000 students from the 366 featured schools; however, they do not keep records of how many students complete the surveys from each school. So it's not clear just how many students at Flagler think they don't have to study or choose to skip lunch at the school.
A few students, enjoying the game room at the new student center had mixed reviews of the ratings.
Of the thumbs down to the food: "Yeah, that makes sense," said junior Adrienne Sutton. "I'm still convinced there's laxatives in the food."
"That's part of what made me move off campus," said senior Kyle Gray from the other end of the air hockey table.
Their opinions varied on the lack of studying.
"I don't even buy books," said Gray. "That could be a testament to the teachers. All my teachers are very effective in the classroom, so I don't have to study."
Sutton said some classes, such as her accounting courses, don't require a lot of at-home work. But the law classes, she said, keep people busy with their books after hours.
Flagler at a glance:
740 new students -- the largest incoming class in the college's history.
Ringhaver Student Center: A 42,000-square-foot building on the corner of Sevilla and King streets. Includes an Internet caf, modern recreation lounge, the college bookstore, multi-purpose rooms, faculty offices and the student and career services offices.
The Princeton Rankings:
No. 6 Their Students (Almost) Never Study
No. 12 Is It Food?

Other students were split on the studying rating, but most agreed the food could be better in variety and quality.
"I think it's almost a universal cry," said President Abare. "I think if you walk on any campus, anywhere USA any time you have institutional food of any type, it's tough to satisfy every taste."
He said they run into problems feeding 850 students plus guests, when they have to take into account food allergies and people who can't take salt or spices.
"I think the food is very, very good. I think the quality is good," he said. "There is no other place where a student can eat three meals a day, unlimited seconds, for $8.50 a day. But when you try to satisfy the taste of 850 students, it's extremely challenging."
As for how much his students are studying, he said the student ranking opposes the others.
"It's kind of, in a way, it's almost a contradiction," he said. " It'd be hard to be in the top 25 percent then have the work sloughed off or discarded. I tend to dismiss that."

First and foremost, remember the auto deduction isn't travel, but expenses for your car or truck. Also, remember this includes ALL your vehicles as long as they have some sort of business use, i.e. an RV, van, delivery truck or motorcycle used in your business (more articles to come)!
There are TWO MAIN OPTIONS to write off auto expenses and it all starts here!!
- Mileage. On ANY of your vehicles you can use mileage as an EXCELLENT method to expense the business use of your vehicle. In 2016 your mileage deductions are as follows:
- Business – .54/mile
- Charity – .14/mile
- Medical and Moving – .19/mile
- Personal or Commuting – NO DEDUCTION
90 percent of our clients use mileage because it's SIMPLE, EASY and a LARGE deduction, but keep in mind almost every situation with business owning taxpayers will vary and several MAJOR factors will impact the analysis. Consider the following:
- The miles per gallon (MPG) on the vehicle
- Bonus depreciation if a NEW car purchase
- Total repairs or expected repairs and maintenance
If it is a NEW purchase, you may want to go with the Actual Method and get some bonus depreciation in the year you purchase, or maybe with a truck, van, SUV or RV you could even get more depreciation expense. However, most of our clients find the mileage deduction to be ultimately the best long-term decision when it comes to cars.
SPECIAL NOTE—Tracking Mileage. It's important you do your best to track your mileage. It can be a written record, but I also have partnered with Deductr to create my own Tax Planning and Tracking Smart Phone Application (this link gives you a 50 percent discount from the App Store)!!
- Actual Expenses. The second method in deducting automobile expenses is by using the actual expenses for the vehicle. When you use this method you CANNOT use mileage. Essentially, you track your fuel, repairs, maintenance, insurance, tires and then also "depreciate" the vehicle or a portion of the lease payment if leasing.
The PROBLEM with actual is that depreciation expenses are drastically limited for cars, somewhat better in the year of purchase for a 6,000lb vehicle and then only really opens up for large trucks, vans and RVs in certain instances.
So this is where things get crazy. You have to consider issues such as the size of the vehicle, did you buy it this year (regardless of whether it was new or used), are you leasing, how much do you actually use it for business versus personal?… ALL OF THESE FACTORS play into your analysis as to what your deduction may be and if it is better than mileage.
Here are a few Special Circumstance Vehicles in this area of "actual expenses."
SUV or Truck with Less than 6' Bed. Both of these vehicles are treated the same. Yes, some of these trucks are more like an SUV when they have the two-row seating and a short bed. Thus, the IRS says they are treated the same for tax purposes.
- So the special rules essentially state that you can take the business use percentage of all actual expenses (fuel, repairs, maintenance, etc.) and some depreciation expenses. For example, if you have $10,000 in annual expenses and depreciation and it's used 80 percent for business. Thus, you are allowed an $8,000 deduction.
- However, the allowable depreciation is still not fantastic, but it is better than a car. So if you buy a new SUV or truck (which could be "used", but new to you), you're allowed to take up to $25,000 of depreciation right of the top. This little $25,000 write-off is often a perfect fit for a business owner looking for one of these types of vehicles and can exceed the mileage deduction.
Large Trucks and Vans. If the truck or van is over 6,000 pounds and the truck has a 6 foot bed or greater or is an enclosed delivery truck, then the $25,000 SUV limitation in the year of purchase for deprecation DOES NOT apply. In fact, you can deduct up to $500,000 in the year of purchase for the cost of the vehicle (limited to the business use percentage of the Truck or Van). Of course, there a number of other variables, but it is a common and often used deduction by small business owners. Moreover, any remaining basis unused with the 179 deduction, can then be depreciated in years to come in conjunction with the actual expenses of the vehicle.
Amazing Benefits of 179 Deduction. Bottom line, if you are in the business of buying a truck, Van, or RV, it's critical you understand the 179 deduction and what it entails. Here is a fantastic article from DeltaModTech with an in depth analysis and audio interview with me as well. Check it out here!
Leased Vehicles. Leasing is a phenomenal deduction, but not without its drawbacks. The tax benefits are phenomenal. You can again take all the actual expenses, including the lease payment (based on your business use percentage) and also save on the cost of a luxury car when monthly payments may be cheaper when leasing.
– However, the drawback isn't a surprise for those that have leased a vehicle before—the mileage limitations can really bite you in the end. For example, if you are only allowed 15,000 miles annually under the lease, when you turn in the vehicle at the end of the leasing period, you have to pay for every mile you went over—buckle up!!
– I find the leased vehicle is best for those that want a second car, and maybe something a little nicer, to take clients and customers out to lunch in and make sales calls. When a client has another vehicle for personal or business use where they can be indiscriminate with miles and rack them up when needed, and NOT on the leased vehicle, then leasing may be a perfect fit for that second vehicle.
Bottom line, I suggest you create a spreadsheet to analyze the situation. It doesn't have to be complex either. Just think through your options AND realize that if you are going to spend THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS on this vehicle, it's valuable to take a few minutes to analyze the various tax deduction options. Establish columns to compare mileage, to purchase, to lease, and then your rows can be different types of vehicles and different scenarios. You can do some initial research and calculations by simply pulling information off the web and then have your accountant/tax preparer fine tune your analysis!! It could save you A LOT of money to go through this analysis and process.

Michael Brady's professional career can be summed up in three easy steps: adjust, adapt and thrive.
Brady was one of the nation's top defensive shortstops coming out of Santa Margarita Catholic High in 2005 before continuing his baseball career at Cal.
After playing four years in Berkeley, Brady got the call from the Florida Marlins that they would be selecting him in the 24th round of the 2009 draft.
But when Marlins broke from spring training in 2010, Brady was not assigned to a minor league affiliate. Brady had to get creative, hoping the Marlins would hear out what he was about to propose: "Let me pitch.
"It was a last ditch effort on my part," Brady said of the conversation he had with the Marlins' brass. "I brought it up and they said we'll give you a chance and I'll be forever grateful for that."
Having pitched at Santa Margarita, the righty was able to draw on his experience on the mound from his time as an Eagle and was able to make a transition that seldom goes so smoothly.
"I've always been good at throwing strikes and my command has always been a plus," Brady said.
Brady posted a 1.59 ERA with the Jamestown Jammers in 2010, his first professional season as a reliever. He's been on a roll ever since. Brady posted a sub-2.00 ERA with 18 saves in 2011, was second in the Florida State League with 22 saves in 2012 and was an All-Star with the Jacksonville Suns by leading the Southern League in 2013 with 23 saves.
Brady was excited to join his hometown organization when the Angels brought him on before the 2014 season. Now in his second year with the organization, Brady has had to undergo another change: give starting pitching a try.
True to form, the Laguna Beach-born right-hander adapted and has become a key cog in the Arkansas Travelers rotation in 2015.
In his first six starts this season, the 28-year-old went 3-0 with a 1.26 ERA, surrendering only four earned runs in 28 2/3 innings while striking out 30 and issuing only a lone walk. Such drastic transitions should not be as simple as Brady has made them appear, but then again, not all players are as fast of learners as he is.
"A couple of years ago, pitching five innings would be unfathomable to me," Brady said half-laughing. "I think I'm in a little bit better shape arm-wise now and I'm enjoying starting."
An insightful and cerebral pitcher, Brady has enjoyed the preparation that goes into being a starting pitcher. He keeps a book on opposing batters, their approaches, strengths, weaknesses, tendencies, etc. and always feels like he has the upper hand going into a start.
Brady comes off of yet another brilliant outing; tossing six shutout innings against the Frisco RoughRiders on July 12, allowing four hits without a walk while setting a career-high with nine strikeouts.
Adjust. Adapt. Thrive. In a game such as baseball, where repetition, consistency and a defined role are so paramount to players' successes, it's testament to both the mental strength and physical abilities of Brady to have been able to take on these new roles and never look back.

text: Hello, I bought a Toro Turbo Force striping kit (model 108-2162) per instruction from a lawn mower repair shop friend that it was the right part for my Toro Z-Master (model 74410). And, it was the wrong part to get because my particular deck was one level down from the Turbo Force. So... I still want to mount this sucker and need some help. I have the 7 gauge deck, not the stamped lesser deck in that some other z-master models were sold with. I looked at everything and read the instructions several times. The only thing that seems to be missing are the two deck mounts sticking out backward from the desk that the striping roller kit mounts to. I will just make them and weld them on but I need to know a couple of things.. Can anyone with a turbo force deck and a striping kit (hopefully the same 108-2162 kit) look at those two mounts and let me know where the bolt holes are in relation to the top of the deck and the back edge of the deck? For example, the hole is 1/2 inch below the top flush of the deck and the hole is 3/4 inch outward from the back of the deck. This will give me enough information to approximately built two steel mounts and weld them onto the deck in the same area. After that I believe the rest will bolt up and mount per instructions and looking at it. Appreciate the help!

Understanding Django Middlewares
By : Akshar Raaj
I assume you have read official Django docs on middleware. I will elaborate on things mentioned in the documentation but I assume you are familiar with basics of middleware.
In this post we will discuss the following.
- What is a middleware
- When to use middleware
- Things to remember when writing middleware
- Writing some middlewares to understand how order of middleware matters
What is a middleware
Middlewares are hooks to modify Django request or response object. Putting the definition of middleware from Django docs.
Middleware is a framework of hooks into Django's request/response processing. It's a light, low-level "plugin" system for globally altering Django's input or output.
When to use middleware
You can use middleware if you want to modify the request i.e HttpRequest object which is sent to the view. Or you might want to modify the HttpResponse object returned from the view. Both these can be achieved by using a middleware.
You might want to perform an operation before the view executes. In such case you would use a middleware.
Django provides some default middleware. eg: AuthenticationMiddleware
Very often you would have used request.user inside the view. Django wants user attribute to be set on
request before any view executes. Django takes a middleware approach to accomplish this. So Django provides an AuthenticationMiddleware which can modify the request object.
And Django modifies the request object like:
Similarly you might have an application which works with users of different timezones. You want to use the user's timezone while showing any page to the user. You want access to user's timezone in all the views. It makes sense to add it in session in such case. So you can add a middleware like this:
class TimezoneMiddleware(object):
def process_request(self, request):
# Assuming user has a OneToOneField to a model called Profile
# And Profile stores the timezone of the User.
request.session['timezone'] = request.user.profile.timezone
TimezoneMiddleware is dependent on
request.user. And
request.user is populated in AuthenticationMiddleware. So TimezoneMiddleware written by us must come after Django provided AuthenticationMiddleware in the tuple settings.MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES.
We will get more idea about order of middlewares in coming examples.
Things to remember when using middleware
- Order of middlewares is important.
- A middleware only need to extend from class object.
- A middleware is free to implement some of the methods and not implement other methods.
- A middleware may implement process_request but may not implement process_response and process_view. Infact it is very common and lot of Django provided middlewares do it.
- A middleware may implement process_response but not implement process_request.
AuthenticationMiddleware only implements process_request and doesn't implement process_response. You can check it here
GZipMiddleware only implements process_response and doesn't implement process_request or process_view. You can see it here
Writing some middlewares
Make sure you have a Django project with a url and a view, and that you are able to access that view. Since we will try several things with
request.user, make sure authentication is properly set for you and that
request.user prints the right thing in this view.
Create a file middleware.py in any of your app.
I have an app called
books and so I am writing this in books/middleware.py
class BookMiddleware(object):
def process_request(self, request):
print "Middleware executed"
Add this middleware in MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES
Make request to any url. This should get printed on
runserver console
Middleware executed
Modify BookMiddleware.process_request so it looks like
class BookMiddleware(object):
def process_request(self, request):
print "Middleware executed"
print request.user
Make request to a url again. This will raise an error.
'WSGIRequest' object has no attribute 'user'
This happened because attribute
user hasn't been set on
request yet.
Now change the order of middlewares so BookMiddleware comes after AuthenticationMiddleware
Make request to any url. This should get printed on
runserver console
Middleware executed
This tells that
process_request is executed on the middlewares in the order in which they are listed in settings.MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES
You can verify it further. Add another middleware in your middleware.py
class AnotherMiddleware(object):
def process_request(self, request):
print "Another middleware executed"
Add this middleware in MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES too.
Now output would be:
Middleware executed
Another middleware executed
How returning HttpResponse from process_request changes things
Modify BookMiddleware so it looks like
class BookMiddleware(object):
def process_request(self, request):
print "Middleware executed"
print request.user
return HttpResponse("some response")
Try any url now and your output would be:
Middleware executed
You will notice two things:
- Your view will no more be executed and no matter which url you try, you will see "some response".
- AnotherMiddleware.process_request will not be executed anymore.
So if a Middleware's process_request() returns a HttpResponse object then process_request of any subsequent middlewares is bypassed. Also view execution is bypassed. You would rarely do this or require this in your projects.
Comment "return HttpResponse("some response")" so process_request of both middlewares keep executing.
Working with process_response
Add method process_response to both the middlewares
class AnotherMiddleware(object):
def process_request(self, request):
print "Another middleware executed"
def process_response(self, request, response):
print "AnotherMiddleware process_response executed"
return response
class BookMiddleware(object):
def process_request(self, request):
print "Middleware executed"
print request.user
return HttpResponse("some response")
#self._start = time.time()
def process_response(self, request, response):
print "BookMiddleware process_response executed"
return response
Try some url. Output would be
Middleware executed
Another middleware executed
AnotherMiddleware process_response executed
BookMiddleware process_response executed
AnotherMiddleware.process_response() is executed before BookMiddleware.process_response() while AnotherMiddleware.process_request() executes after BookMiddleware.process_request(). So process_response() follows the reverse of what happens with process_request. process_response() is executed for last middleware then second last middleware and so on till the first middleware.
Django applies middleware's process_view() in the order it's defined in MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES, top-down. This is similar to the order followed for process_request().
Also if any process_view() returns an HttpResponse object, then subsequent process_view() calls are bypassed and not executed.
Check our next post to see a practical use of middleware.

Tags: Facebook hackers, hacker, hacking
Hackers with big skills and a big ego will be drawn to Facebook and Twitter as their targets. But they'll also target dozens of other companies, reports an article on arstechnica.com.
One group in particular stands out as the attackers, using zero-day exploits. They are known as Wild Neutron and Morpho, says the article, and have been active possibly since 2011, burrowing their way into various businesses: healthcare, pharmaceutical, technology.
It's been speculated that the hackers want the inside information of these companies for financial gain. They've been at it for three or four years; we can assume they've been successful.
Researchers believe that these hackers have begun using a valid digital certificate that is issued to Acer Incorporated to bypass code-signing requirements that are built into modern operating systems, explains the arstechnica.com report.
Experts also have identified use of some kind of "unknown Flash Player exploit," meaning that the hackers are using possibly a third zero-day exploit.
The report goes on to explain that recently, Reuters reported on a hacking group that allegedly busted into corporate e-mail accounts to get their hands on sensitive information for financial gain.
You're probably wondering how these big companies could be so vulnerable, or how it is that hackers can figure out a password and username. Well, it doesn't really work that way. A company may use passwords that, according to a password analyzer, would take nine million years to crack.
So hackers rely on the gullibility and security un-awareness of employees to bust in. They can send employees an e-mail, disguised to look like it's from a company executive or CEO, that tricks the employee into either revealing passwords and usernames, or clicking on a malicious link that downloads a virus, giving the hacker access to the company system's stored data. It's like removing a dozen locks from the steel chamber door to let in the big bad wolf.
The security firms interviewed estimate that a minimum of 49 companies have been attacked by the hacking ring's surveillance malware. The cybercriminals have, in at least one instance, got into a company's physical security information management system.
The arstechnica.com article notes that this consists of swipe card access, HVAC, CCTV and other building security. This would allow the hackers to surveil employees, visually following them around.
This hacking group is smart. They don't reuse e-mail addresses; they pay hosting services with bitcoins; they use multi-staged control/command networks that have encrypted virtual machines to foil forensics detectives. The only good news is that the group's well-documented code suggests it's a small band of hackers, not some giant one.
