On January 18th, 2012 we will be having a presentation about packaging in Debian. This page will be the support for this presentation. It will loosely follow the Debian New Maintainers' Guide [DNMG].
Why package for Debian?
This Debian wiki page has some good points listed about why use Linux and Debian.
Aside from the philosophy and community aspects of Debian, an important factor for wanting to package for Debian is the huge amount of derivative distributions based on Debian (120+). Once you've packaged your software in Debian, it will automatically trickle down to all those distributions in their next versions. Instead of packaging a piece of software just for Ubuntu (for instance), you could package it for Debian and have all those other distributions (and ultimately potential users) have access to your software right from their package manager.
Another important fact is that due to the high quality standards promoted by the Debian project, getting your package right in Debian means you've done a quality job!
What do you need?
In order to package a program for Debian we will need the following:
- An installation of Debian Sid (the "unstable" version) [in VirtualBox]
- A program to package: GNU Hello
Preparation of the package
Download and extract the program:
mkdir -p devel/hello-deb cd devel/hello-deb/ wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/hello/hello-2.7.tar.gz tar xvzf hello-2.7.tar.gz
Run ./configure and resolve any encountered problems (like missing packages), then build and test the program out:
./configure make ./src/hello
If the program runs properly, then we can start building the Debian package!
Building the package
Preparation of the build environment
The following list of packages are needed to build:
sudo aptitude install build-essential autoconf automake autotools-dev debhelper dh-make devscripts fakeroot gnupg lintian patch patchutils pbuilder quilt
Then, unzip the program again:
cd .. rm -rf hello-2.7 tar xvzf hello-2.7.tar.gz cd hello-2.7/
Set up dh_make:
$ cat >>~/.bashrc <<EOF DEBEMAIL="firstname.lastname@example.com" DEBFULLNAME="Firstname Lastname" export DEBEMAIL DEBFULLNAME EOF $ . ~/.bashrc
Now run the following command to start creating the Debian package:
dh_make -f ../hello-2.7.tar.gz
Select a type of package of single binary. This execution of dh_make creates a copy of the upstream tarball as hello_2.7.orig.tar.gz in the parent directory that will be uploaded to the Debian archive.
Editing debian/* files
From this point on we'll edit files that are located in the ./debian directory. The previous call of dh_make has created a bunch of template files in the ./debian directory, if you are building a new package you would use those as examples. However, in order to speed up this presentation, I'll use the files that are used to create the actual hello package in Debian.
wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/h/hello/hello_2.7-3.debian.tar.gz
Required files
The following 4 files are required in order to be able to build the package. Edit them to the adequate values.
This file contains various values which dpkg, dselect, apt-get, apt-cache, aptitude, and other package management tools will use to manage the package. More details.
This file contains information about the copyright and license of the upstream sources. More details.
This file's format is used by dpkg and other programs to obtain the version number, revision, distribution, and urgency of your package. It is also really useful to have all changes that have been made to that package properly documented. More details.
This file contains the rules which dpkg-buildpackage will use to actually create the package. This file is in fact another Makefile, but different from the one(s) in the upstream source. Unlike other files in debian, this one is marked as executable. The default file sometimes needs to be adapted if you need to do some fancy stuff. Have a look at the DNMG for more details.
Optional files
The watch file configures the uscan program to watch the site where you originally got the source from to determine if a new version has been released. It can also be configured to download the new tarball and unpack it, add the debian folder from the previous version so that you're ready to package that new version. More details.
If there are files that need to be installed into your package but your standard make install won't do it (would be the case if there is no Makefile made available by upstream for your package), put the filenames and destinations into this install file. They are installed by dh_install. You should first check there is not a more specific tool to use. For example, documents should be in the docs file and not in this one. More details.
patches/* folder
The quilt command records modifications to the source as a stack of -p1 patch files in the debian/patches/ directory and the source tree is untouched outside of the debian directory. The order of these patches is recorded in the debian/patches/series file. Chapter 3, Modifying the source of the DNMG has more details on the process of patching the upstream source.
Every binary in Debian should have a man page explaining the commands and providing general help with the package. There are various formats available to create that manpage: nroff, SGML, XML. More details.
These postinst, preinst, postrm, and prerm files are called maintainer scripts. They are scripts which are run by dpkg when your package is installed, upgraded, or removed. As a novice maintainer, you should avoid any manual editing of maintainer scripts because they can be problematic. More details.
Build the package
To build without package signing, execute this command:
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
The following files have been created in the parent directory:
- hello_2.7.orig.tar.gz
- hello_2.7-1.dsc
- hello_2.7-1.debian.tar.gz
- hello_2.7-1_i386.deb
- hello_2.7-1_i386.changes
You can automate the dpkg-buildpackage command's package build process further with the debuild command (DNMG section). For a clean room (chroot) build environment to verify the build dependencies, the pbuilder package is very useful. (DNMG section)
Testing the package
The previous build commands has created several files in the top level, one of which being the actual .deb package. You should first off review the list of files that are included in the package:
debc hello_2.7-1_i386.changes
Then, install the newly created package:
sudo dpkg -i hello_2.7-1_i386.deb
Running the hello command should now work properly!
Next steps
Once you've got your package ready, since we are [not yet?] official Debian Maintainers (DM) or Debian Developers (DD), we will need to find a mentor to upload our package to the official Debian repository. Head over to mentors.debian.net to learn more about the sponsorship process. The DNMG also has useful information about uploading.
The following pages contain useful information if you wish to do some packaging yourself!
- Debian New Maintainers' Guide
- The GNU Hello program that was used for this presentation
- The Debian package page for GNU Hello
- mentors.debian.net to get our package uploaded to the Debian repository

Value Investing Course from Moat Investor
This article is a starting place for understanding the principles used by Moat Investor in the valuation of companies and the timing of investments. It is like a launching pad for examining the entire site. Each area below has a link to more information on the selected topics.
Note: you may want to return to this page from time to time as it is a living document that will evolve with our content, research and further learning.
Moat Investor takes its basic philosophy from Warren Buffet's style of value investing:
This is the first course
And a brief description.
This is the second course
And a brief description.
This is the third course
And a brief description.
This is the fourth course
And a brief description.
This is the fifth course
And a brief description.
This is the sixth course
And a brief description.
This is the seventh course
And a brief description.
1. Only invest in businesses and industries you can understand
2. Only invest in companies that have a significant competitive advantage (Buffet calls this a "moat†which is from where this site takes its name)
3. Only invest in companies that feature great management
4. Invest only when the price you pay contains a margin of safety
5. Invest only in companies with a high Return on Equity (ROE or ROIC)
6. Invest only in companies with consistently (i.e., minimum of 10 years) strong free cash flow and profitability
7. Invest only if the company has avoided excess debt
It is our belief that while all of these elements are critical for committing your hard-earned cash in an investment, the average investor has the most difficult time evaluating a company's moat. Moat Investor is committed to educating investors in all of these areas, and especially with regard to competitive moats, as we believe that the investor with a real knack for evaluating competitive differentiation and changing market conditions will have a significant advantage of the average investor or even institutional investors.
To these basic tenants, Moat Investor also subscribes to the following refinements and "tweaks†in the Buffet model:
Phil Town's Rule #1
Rule # 1 is "don't lose money†Rule # 2 is "never break rule #1†Phil has made a major contribution to the area of moat investing including:
His "Big Five†numbers which consider Return on Investment Capital (or Return on Equity) Ten-year Equity Growth Ten-year Sales Growth Ten-year Earnings Growth Ten-year Free Cash Flow Growth His "Tools†for Investment Timing Moving Averages The 8-17-9 MACD Slow 14-5 Stochastic Rule Number One Homework assignments Jim Collins' Good to Great:
Level 5 Management BHAG The Hedgehog Principal The Genius of "And†Timekeeping vs. Clock-Making The Boston Turner Group's work with growth companies:
Basics of Enterprise Velocity Ideals Measurement Cadence Velocity Boston Turner Group's Branding and Strategic Principles in the establishment of a Moat

Stuart Horten is a 10-year-old with a hard life. He's already dealing with his very small stature and his unfortunate name (S.Horten) when his family moves him to their small hometown. Stuart is battling boredom when he stumbles upon an ancient hidden note and some old coins from his great-uncle Teeny Tiny Tony Horten. Teeny Tiny, a great illusionist, disappeared into thin air along with his illusions many years before.
Stuart sets off to solve the mystery of his uncle with unexpected help from 10-year-old triplets April, May and June. Solving the puzzle, however, involves running from one town landmark to another uncovering old and sometimes forgotten mechanical illusions. Kids and their parents will have fun following the map and chasing the mystery before time runs out. Horten's Miraculous Mechanisms combines just enough humor, suspense and magic to make you not want to put the book down, even if you aren't 10-years-old.

Great antenna for the price!
March 26, 2011
Reviewer: Karen Coffee from Chapel Hill, NC United States
-Reception is very good (especially for the size). Everything from 2M band to 900MHz Motorola systems come in fine. I listen to many 30+ miles away.
-Magnet is quite strong, actually kind of hard to get back off of roof! (Good thing!)
-Coax cable length is good, closing the door on it works fine.
-BNC connection is secure, not wobbly.
-Don't go cranking down the screw on the antenna, I can see some people trying to tighten too much.

Great little antenna
March 19, 2011
Reviewer: KF7YN from West Jordan, UT United States
I've had this antenna on my truck for 15 months and never a problem.
I travel a lot in the wide open spaces of Utah where the speed limit is 75 & 80 MPH, the tiny magnet holds firm. This little guy works great on VHF Hi, UHF and 800 MHz.
I just ordered another for my car.

Great little product
December 3, 2010
Reviewer: Anonymous Person
In my humble Opinion:
This product is a definitive improvement over any antenna you can have inside your vehicle.
Small size and mag mount make it easy to install and transfer between vehicles and even apartment window sills :)
It is also very low profile which is a pro in certain applications.
I would not use this for a permanent installation, it is a bit flimsy and reception is not that great.
Considering the price this is a perfect product for part time enthusiasts look to improve all round reception.

Great all around antenna
December 2, 2010
Reviewer: Brett Davis from San Lorenzo, CA United States
Bought this antenna back in August of 2010. The first 2 months of using it was excellent. I have transferred it from different cars about 50+ times, and have been up to 75MPH with the antenna perfectly attached, and received excellent reception. I was able to pull in CHP, and some Public Safety FREQs that were 40+ miles away, which is excellent. My problem appeared a mere 2 months after using this constantly. I noticed that I wasn't picking up as much as I used to. Upon further investigation, I noticed the coaxial cable failed is what caused the problem. It seems that inside the mag mount, where it connects to the antenna has somehow because loose/cut/pulled or who knows what, and was shorting the coaxial.
I just ordered a new replacement, and this time I am going to re-construct the area where the cable exits the mag-mount, and reinforce it so that cable can not be pulled, and maybe a little extra care around that area is all it needs, and this is a perfectly performing antenna.

Reviewer: RICHARD MULLANE from SOUND BEACH, NY United States
I had a thru the glass that did not work because I have the tinted widows that block the signal. As soon as I put this antenna on, I started to pick up everything !!! Its low profile and almost disappears on my roof. Great buy for the price, but just a good antenna !!

Definite Improved Reception.
June 3, 2010
Reviewer: OldSchoolDeputy from St. Paul, MN United States
I just received this antenna and hooked it up to my older analog scanner (RS Pro 46) and got immediately better reception. I hooked it up to my newer scanner (RS Pro 106) with the same results. I was amazed. It appears to be well build and sturdy. This product would be 4 stars but I need to see how it will hold up outdoors on my vehicle.

This item is the best there is !!!
May 21, 2010
Reviewer: Richard Estacio from Milpitas, CA United States
I am very impressed with this item. Due to
the compact size, it is quite convenient for
low profile travel. Plus, the magnetic base
is much stronger than the larger models. I
also prefer the black color coating, which
blends well in all environments. Prices are
very reasonable. Will purchase more in the future. =0)

Lee needs to reign in the "Run, Ed, Run" campaign
I'm not going to tell Ed Lee he can't run for mayor. I know he promised he wasn't going to. I know that if he hadn't made that promise, he wouldn't have had the six votes to win the office. I think Lee believed at the time that he didn't want to run in November, and he may believe it now.
But this is still a democracy, and if Lee thinks the situation has changed and he's the only person who can properly lead the city over the next four years, he ought to put his name forward.
Right now, though, he's allowing the "draft Ed Lee" movement to get out of control.
Chinatown powerbroker Rose Pak and political consultant Enrique Pierce (who runs the clearly misnamed Left Coast Campaigns and loves to tout his progressive credentials) have set up an office, are raising money, and have hatched this plan to get Lee to agree to put his name on the ballot and not actively campaign.
The operation — which, let's remember, carries Ed Lee's name on it — has already run afoul of the law. The Ethics Commission — hardly an aggressive political watchdog — says the campaign had improperly filed as a political action committee. That's not Lee's fault — he has nothing to do with this. But it already taints his reputation.
Lee, by all accounts, has done a far better job with the budget than his immediate predecessor. He's actually been talking to people. He listens; he accepts logic; he tries to make thing work. I admit, the bar is pretty low — Gavin Newsom was a complete asshole. Still: Lee's a decent guy.
But he has some heavy political baggage — and most of it has to do with his connections to sleazy operators like Pak and Willie Brown. As long as he's linked to people who treat campaign finance laws, lobbying rules, and political ethics with disdain bordering on hostility, he's going to have trouble keeping the public trust.
And right now, those same people are raising money — money that is already being spent on a political campaign — and the noncandidate is letting it happen.
Run if you want, Ed. But if you're going to keep your promise, then it's time to call Pak, Pierce and company and tell them to quit.
Promises should mean something. He promised he wouldn't run. The reason he has some modicum of credibility is that he doesn't (presently) need to play politics.
And he's doing a shitty job. Just today, the Chronicle reported that he agreed to a deal with the fire department whereby fire would get a raise, but would have to pay a commensurate amount into their pensions. Lee and the City Family claim it's a good deal because it's cost neutral. That's not true. Pensions are based on income, so now that fire's income went up, the pension payout down the road just went up. Taxpayers aren't stupid.
We can't have every Mayor being obsequious to the police/fire unions. They are sucking the City dry.
What- he's being clever with his "I won't run" crap while not calling off the clowns running his write-in campaign?
Please tell us how he is substantively any different than Newsom. He is cutting the same corrupt back-room deals with the police and fire unions RIGHT NOW- giving these folks big raises (while every other City cuts public safety worker pay/benefits) while having the gall to call it "cost neutral." He just cut a deal that increased the City's unfunded pension liability tens of millions of dollars and is LYING to the public claiming it doesn't cost the City/taxpayers anything.
These people continue to suck every dime out of a depleting City treasury. The City is corrupt and we have to read another obsequious Ed Lee take from SFBG of all people??
ed lee sucks. he's a joke of mayor and sucks up to the wealthy. he's been getting rich as a "public servant" and needs to get his ass kicked hard in politics and send that boy home, crying to his momma.
also, Enrique Pearce is using a phony name.
He's already reigning. If what you mean is "rein in", that's another story. And if you mean "resign" that's a whole 'nother one.
He's already reigning. If you mean "rein in", that's another story. And if you mean "resign" that a whole 'nother story.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Citigroup Inc. /quotes/zigman/5065548/delayed/quotes/nls/c C -0.56% said Monday its estimated capital levels would be above the minimum required by regulators in a severe economic downturn. In a press release, the firm disclosed the mid-cycle stress test for its Tier 1 common ratio, in accordance with the Dodd-Frank Act, which was enacted after the financial crisis to determine the stability of the banking system during another economic downturn. Citigroup projected its Tier 1 common ratio would be no less than 9.1% during a nine-quarter cycle with a scenario of increasing unemployment, falling home prices and volatility in the stock market. Under the Federal Reserve's stress tests, also known as CCAR, bank-holding companies have to show they can maintain a Tier 1 common ratio of at least 5% in their capital plans. Citi estimates its loan losses would be $43.1 billion during the nine-quarter period, driven by $19.9 billion in credit-card losses and $6.5 billion in first-lien mortgage losses. Eighteen banks are set to release mid-year versions of the tests between Sept. 15 and 30.

Groan2 - aren't you lucky? Thank you for all of your great help. I'm beginning to see a lot of weakness in this book. If it weren't for your criticism and all that I'm learning from the Gather members I would never have seen them. Please, please criticism is very much needed and let me know also if you see a typo. Words cannot express how grateful I am to you.
Double T
Double T is a teleporter, going from places and galaxies. Born on another planet whose empire was crumbling, we was shot to space by his loved ones so that he wouldn't die, landing on earth where he was born. With red cape, a somewhat carrot/human form (meaning he had a double root which looked like perhaps legs), of course a red cape with a strange silver button on it. He wears a scarf to hide the shape of his face, which was rugged and handsome, but not quite of carrot form. Most thought of him as a ninja.
When Double T was born he had no name as his loved ones had left him behind. He quickly learned how to fend for himself. Even though, as a baby carrot, he looked like an adult carrot, but he had the mind of a 6 year old. Those that knew who he was were trying to steal his button so they could teleport themselves. Double T learned the value of this button shortly after he was born. Being from a different planet in a different galaxy, he was smart and capable of protecting himself even after being just born.
He later became a pig farmer, but that's another story.
Tyme, Double T and Onion
One of the first things Double T noticed was the onion seed planting herself next to him, the changing of the sphere and a deer and antelope eyeing and drooling over him. He and Onion started growing as fast as they could. Onion started popping out little onions, although she had no idea why it seemed so important.
Tyme was exhausted from the emotional strain of the travel through time. He had company coming over in two weeks and wanted the garden to be beautiful, clear of weeds. He'd been thinking about traveling to the time the ranchers built the cattle pond he now enjoyed. He'd enlarged it, put in fish, ducks and geese and year after year, could see little geese and ducklings following their parents around the pond. But, again, the time travel trip zapped his strength and he did have chores to do.
So, two weeks later, he went to the garden to pull enough vegetables for that night's dinner salad. His company was due in three hours for dinner and he wanted to make this a special, garden fresh dinner. Tyme saw himself as a hermit, but he really wasn't and he had a lot of friends. In the country, you watch out and take care of each other.
Anyway, into the garden he goes, picking young peas, beets, turnips, radishes, a head of lettuce. "OK, what else to put in a salad? Right, onions and carrots" said Tyme talking to himself. So he picked a few carrots. There was only one onion that was big enough for his salad. He started to dig it out and Tyme heard a scream and then a voice that said, "Please don't eat me – please leave me be!"
"What the …" Tyme said. Well, he slapped his head with his hand, trying to knock some sense into himself. He had been having very strange dreams lately and wondered if he was getting a bit looney. "OK, fine". So, Tyme went to pick the only decent sized carrot left. This was Double T and he came up screaming and kicking with his two root legs flailing all over the place, yelling at the top of this carrot lungs, with his fern like hair dancing every which way. He was cursing (Double T and Onion had learned curse words from Tyme while Tyme was tending to the garden), his scarf fell off and his red cape was billowing over his head.
"What do you think you're doing? Put me back, put me back – I'm gonna die – I'm gonna die." After all, a carrot with the mentality of a six year old is known to throw tantrums. And, Double T was throwing a big one right now.
Well, as you and I would, Tyme dropped the carrot and just stared at it. Double T sank back into his home, the ground. Once again Tyme shook his head thinking he really was looney. He went to pull the onion and heard sobbing. Then the carrot, Double T, hopped out of his home and screamed at Tyme. "Don't touch her – don't even think about it or you'll have to deal with me and you'll be sorry. And, I'll hunt you down and hurt you." All right – this was too much for Tyme. He took what he had gathered, listening to see if any of those vegetables were sobbing and left the garden with Onion and Double T still intact in their homes. Tyme took the veggies to his kitchen to clean and prepare dinner. Well, at dinner time, he told his guests of how stressed he must be because of what happened in the garden. Guess what? That was the amusement for the night. One of them laughed so hard she blew hot cocoa out of her nose.
The very next day Tyme went out to the garden, bent down near the onion and said, "Can you really talk or am I just loosing my mind?" Somehow after accepting talking flying deer and antelope, along with the time travel thing, he wasn't surprised to hear Onion's response. "Yes, and don't eat me."
"Why are you here?"
"I don't know. I think I was sent here to be friends with and keep the arrogant, temper tantrum thing of a carrot out of trouble. He named himself Double T and thinks he's a ninja."
"I know from yesterday that the carrot - Double T can talk, yell, scream and curse. But you seem gentle"
"I am. Can I trust you?"
"I think so – depends on what you have to say."
"I am the onion of youth. I've popped a few of my offspring for you to eat. But beware. Only a small amount of my offspring will keep you from aging and an entire small onion will make you five years younger."
Double T hops out of the ground saying, "So you'll protect us! Yeah right – in my dreams".
"I'll try."
"Then make that deer and antelope stop coming here and drooling over us. Their names are Deer and Antel."
"I can't be here all of the time and I've had dealings with Deer and Antel - they should know better. Just in case, here's a piece of cloth. You can use it for cover. Frankly I think you should just talk to them. They're very smart. Although, Onion, if they learn of your offsprings and eat them, they might turn into helpless babies. I would keep it a secret from them if you can – they can't resist an adventure. Is there any chance the youth effects can be undone?"
"Not that I know of ", said the onion.
Tyme was asleep when Deer and Antel showed up. Onion said, "You're here again. Stop drooling on Double T and for the record, my onions are poisonous. Deer said, "Who cares – I hate onions." "Me too!" said Antel. Well, Double T woke up and realized it was him they wanted. He wished so bad that he could be somewhere else that he blew a root (fortunately, not his leg roots) and found himself teleporting, landing on Plati's belly.
"Where'd he go? We planned on tossing him in the air and playing bad mitten, better yet good carrot, with him for a while. Then we could have totally enjoyed his carrot flavor – Antel was going to eat the legs and I won out on the head." Said Deer. Antel said "We'll be back – ta-ta and yeck, yeck – I hate onions" They came back to the garden the next day, just as Plati and Moc were transported to the garden.

With the March 5 election fast approaching, candidates for West Hollywood City Council shared their thoughts with Patch on the election and issues affecting the community.
West Hollywood Patch: What personal characteristics and experiences set you apart from the other candidates?
Mayor Jeffrey Prang: I clearly have one of the strongest and diverse resumes in terms of providing a professional approach to governance. I have been an administrator for over 20 years in local, county and state government including three and a half years as a senior administrator in Pico Rivera. I have a unique and diverse yet professional resume that has well-prepared me to deal with the complex issues that we face in West Hollywood from Public Works, to budgeting, to legislative advocacy on behalf of the community. I have provided leadership in statewide municipal government, having served as the president of a statewide municipal organization, the California Contract Cities Association.
Personal characteristics that I offer the job—I'm patient, I listen. Every resident and every business in the city has something important to say, and the should feel that they've got a place to go to express their concerns as well as their hopes for the community. I believe that most people would agree that I'm accessible, I treat people fairly and with dignity, that I work hard to keep people informed and I put a lot of attention to making government work at the most detailed level for the people who live, work in and visit West Hollywood. I think I've got a well-earned reputation that when a lot of people call West Hollywood City Hall needing help from one of their elected officials, my office is the one that they call.
Patch: How would those characteristics and experiences define your term on the city council?
Prang: I have a lot of ideas and goals of my own for the next four years, but probably one of the most important goals is to make certain that I am in sync with the needs and aspirations of the people who live in the city. I don't believe that I know everything and I don't believe that I have all the answers, but a key portion of my strategy is to make certain that I am keeping my thumb on the pulse of the community to ensure that their concerns and aspirations are part of my objectives.
The things that I hear from people every day is that they want a community with a high quality of life—they want low crime, walk-ability, neighborhood services, they want to enjoy the conveniences of urban living. But they're also concerned about pushing that envelope too far. Overdevelopment has changed the fundamental character of the city and the neighborhood, not only aesthetically but also in terms of parking and traffic and the neighborhood environment. I share those concerns, but I have some very specific objectives for the next four years. One of which is ensuring that we have adequate parking in the city to deal with our residential needs.
Parkland is also a very high priority for me. I have high hopes that Laurel, also known as Tara, is going be expanded into a neighborhood park resource like Kings Road Park. I want to see that through. Also, in the wake of the Plummer Park project now that the plan that was presented previously is now a moot issue, we need to go back to the drawing board and develop a plan that meets the city's needs as well as the community's needs and takes into consideration a lot of the issues that have been raised without the controversy. We need to come up with a dignified plan to rehabilitate that park in a manner that enjoys wide community support.
We're going to have to continue to invest in city infrastructure to make sure that our roads and facilities are well-maintained. We're going to have to start working toward the future working with the fire department about either improving the placing or enhancing Fire Station No. 8. We also have a lot of economic development opportunities and challenges. A couple of the hotels on Sunset will provide jobs and economic opportunity for the city, but they also present some challenges as well that will have to be mitigated.
Patch: In your interactions with West Hollywood voters during the campaign, what were the top three issues they were most interested in?
Prang: One thing that's very clear from going door to door—and I've been aggressively campaigning door to door since the first of the year—is people love West Hollywood. They like living there, they like the conveniences. They like the fact that there's restaurants and shopping, and it's a self-contained city where it's safe, where there's a sense of community. There's rich arts and cultural affairs opportunities, for senior citizens they are extremely grateful for all the services that help them lead a better quality of life for their elder years. People really like the city of West Hollywood, they like the services that they are provided and they're proud to be a part of the community.
The big issues that people are concerned about not only in West Hollywood but in Beverly Hills and all of the Westside of Los Angeles is traffic, traffic issues are still a concern. They are concerned about some of the developments that they believe will change the character of their neighborhoods and possibly bringing a number of impacts—all things that I have been talking about for many years and which have been reflected in the way I've voted on the city council.
Patch: When you look around West Hollywood, which project, development or ordinance approved by previous city councils would you like to see undone, reversed or changed in some way?
Prang: I would like to have seen the Desmond project on San Vicente, a project that voted upon early in my term of office, I think that project was not well-designed, and I think the opportunities that we gave up at that time on San Vicente were too many.
Patch: If you weren't running for city council, which one of the other candidates would be your first choice?
Prang: There's a lot of very fine, bright, capable people, they all love the city of West Hollywood and they each have something different and unique to contribute. I don't want to get into the game of deciding who would be best. Obviously if I were not running I would be looking at all the candidates very seriously to determine which ones reflect what's in the best interest of the city. I really think that every one of them cares about the city and wants to contribute to its growth and success.

Here's the start of my journal. I'm 24. Never been in good shape in my life. I hope to turn that around. I've been working out for about 9 weeks now. I haven't kept any measurements or even weighed myself as I didn't want to set myself up for feeling failure. Starting next week I'm planning on starting a real schedule of what I'm doing at the gym and keeping measurements. The previous 9 weeks I considered to be a test trial to see if I was truly committed. I also quit smoking (cold) and I have managed to cut almost all of the really terrible foods from my diet. Just by looking in the mirror I can tell that body fat has significantly decreased and I feel much better. The attached picture shows where I was when I started.
Good luck!
upper chest freak
Well, if you've already been at it for 9 weeks you've accomplished a great deal IMO. Don't expect to look like a fitness model or Arnold Schwarzenegger overnight(Not sure what kind of look you're shooting for.) It takes time. And if you need advice there are plenty of knowledgeable people on this board who I am sure would be happy to help you. Good luck.

I'm a newbie as well and have found tons of great info right here at this site. A lot of the posters are bright and know what they're talking about. Good Luck!
I'm going to go ahead and start posting some of the progression pictures that I've been taking every couple of weeks. They're not impressive. It's not that I'm not trying hard or doing things right. I firmly believe I was dealt with some fairly pussy genetics. My body physique has been the same since I was a kid. I am for the most part incapable of gaining or losing weight as well as gaining or losing muscle. This is why I have set myself up with a time frame of approximately 12 months before there is enough of a difference that may impress some of you. Thanks.
Week 4.
Week 7.
These are the current supplements that I am taking.
Daily Vitmain Centrum
Once a day after lunch.
Whey Protein
Twice a day. Once after lunch pre workout and once late afternoon post workout.
Creatine (EAS Phosphagen HP)
Once a day.
Twice a day. Once early morning before breakfast and once again mid afternoon typically pre workout.
Just wasn't feeling it today but I went for it anyway. Not my typical workout as I'm going to try and make individual days for muscle groups. Today was a (half) arm day. I always start with 35 to 45 minutes of cardio. Once I get my weight, er BF, down to a reasonable level I'll do the cardio last but for now it goes first. I typically do 4 sets with anything weight related. First set is a warm up with light weight. Second is a little more challenging, third is very challenging. The 4th set by the last rep I should be at failure. Typically the amount of reps that I shoot for per set is 10.
The cardio consists of usually the treadmill. Today, like most days, it was:
3 min at 5% incline at 4 mph
7 min at 5% incline at 6 mph
3 min at 5% incline at 4 mph
7 min at 5% incline at 6 mph
3 min at 5% incline at 4 mph
7 min at 10% incline at 4 mph
Arms workout:
Concentration Curls
Hammer Curls
Barbell Curls
Reverse Curls
Reverse Wrist Curls
Wrist Curls
Reverse Pushdowns
OH! BTW.... Thank you to those that wrote for the warm welcome and encouragement!
You know....I think I'm actually seeing a difference.
Definite improvement from the first pic. Good job. Keep at it.Originally posted by SShadow

Thanks. Unfortunately it'll probably be at least another 2 or 3 months before you'll see any muscle BUT I'll get there.
did my first measurements today. damn i'm a weak, fat bitch. 12" biceps, 37" waist (belly button) and 38" chest (nipples)
Don't get too down on yourself. As I said, there is clear improvement in the pictures you've posted. Be proud of your accomplishments. Just keep at it.Originally posted by SShadow

One other thing I did a couple of months ago was to purchase one book. In my opinion it has helped me greatly. It's called "Strength Training Anatomy" by Frederic Delavier. It shows proper form in intricate detail by dissecting the body down to the bones, joints and individual muscle groups. I highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to learn proper form. I bought mine on Amazon for around $13.00. It has made a world of difference in my workout. Form is definitely where it is at. Also simply being able to visualize what is happening and what should be happening has helped me adjust my training to be more effective.
Here's the latest. I'm up to week 11. Is it just me or is it harder to lose body fat the less you have? It felt like I was melting it off at first and now it's a bit more difficult.
Looking good bro nice improvement. Keep it up.
I seem to have almost reached a plateau with BF loss and muscle gain. I need to make changes to my current program (still experimenting to find what I need) and nutritional intake. I will be sure to post my plan once I have one for everyones critique. I need something to shock my body in to reacting again. Latest picture attached.
Definitely a marked improvement from the 1st pics.
Oh yeah. Butts getting a lot smaller too. Ha!
wow....big differance.

"It's an honor to be here today on behalf of more than 4.5 million moms and dads and sons and daughters, in every state across our nation, who make up the National Rifle Association of America. Those 4.5 million active members are joined by tens of millions of NRA supporters."
— National Rifle Association chief executive Wayne LaPierre, testifying before Congress, Jan. 30, 2013
"Due to the importance of the fundamental speech and associational rights of the National Rifle Association's four million members, and considering the blatant attack on those rights that S. 3369 represents, we strongly oppose the DISCLOSE Act and will consider votes on this legislation in future candidate evaluations."
— Letter signed by Chris Cox, executive director of NRA-ILA, dated July 16, 2012
A number of people have wondered about the NRA's claim that it has more than 4.5 million members. As can be seen above, just in the space of six months, the NRA's estimate of the size of its membership jumped by 500,000, an increase of more than 12 percent.
Shortly after the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., Fox News quoted an anonymous source as saying the gun-rights association had gained an average of 8,000 new members a day since the tragedy. But Politico quoted the NRA as saying that it had gained 100,000 new members in 18 days — which is an average of 5,500 a day.
Even if such numbers could be sustained over a period of time, that would mean about 80,000 to 130,000 new members in December — and 275,000 to 400,000 by early February. In either case, that falls short of a 500,000 gain.
Mother Jones magazine in January documented how the NRA's estimate of its membership rolls has varied greatly in the past 20 years, between 3 million and 4.3 million. In an update, the magazine also suggested an alternative way of discovering the actual membership — counting the number of subscribers to the NRA's magazines, which are provided free as part of the membership fee. (In fact, that's the only way to get the magazines, since they are not sold on newsstands.)
The Alliance for Audited Media, which audits the circulation of magazines and newspapers, on Thursday released new magazine circulation figures — reported by the publishers — for the six-month period that ended Dec. 31, 2012. For the first time, digital subscriptions were also included. Let's see what the results show.
With a new membership, the NRA offers the choice of three six-times-a-year magazines: American Rifleman, American Hunter or America's First Freedom. (For children under the age of 15, there is also a digital publication, NRA Insights, but that has a circulation of just 25,000.)
But the numbers show that there has actually been a decline in subscribers for two of the magazines in the past year, with an increase in a third, for a slight overall decline in circulation.
American Rifleman: 1,731,416 for the six months that ended Dec. 12, 2012; 1,697,350 for the six months that ended Dec. 12, 2012
American Hunter: 877,029 (2012) 932,076 (2011)
First Freedom: 502,724 (2012) 526,725 (2011)
Total: 3,111,169 (2012) 3,156,151 (2011)
The publisher's statements said 100 percent of the subscribers get the magazine as a result of their membership in the NRA. (The reports also indicate that a majority of members sign up only a year at a time.)
More broadly, the reports show that there was a spike in NRA magazine circulation after President Barack Obama was elected in 2008, with circulation climbing from 2.8 million in 2008 to a high of 3.5 million in 2010. But then it started dropping, for a total loss of about 400,000, in the past two years.
Earlier in the week, NRA spokesman Andrew Arulanandam said that more than 600,000 members did not take a magazine and that more than 200,000 received a digital subscription. So, we were surprised when the AAM numbers were released and the organization showed the three magazines had reported zero digital subscriptions.
To put that in perspective, if Arulanandam's figure of 200,000 was prorated by the relative size of the magazines, then two of the NRA magazines would be in the top 25 digital magazines. American Rifleman, with 111,000, would be in seventh place. American Hunter, with 56,000, would be 25th. One would think the NRA would like those bragging rights and thus provide the figures to the circulation auditors.
Arulanandam said he did not know why the 200,000 in digital subscriptions were not provided to AAM.
We were also surprised that 15 percent of the NRA members would pass up a chance to get a glossy, free magazine.
The AARP, for instance, also provides magazines as part of its membership, but spokesman Josh Rosenblum says only a relatively small number declined to receive the AARP Magazine and AARP Bulletin. The magazines, each with a circulation of about 22.5 million copies, are the two most widely circulated magazines in the United States. The AARP spokesman said there was gap between its claimed number of members and its subscriber base because only one copy of each publication is sent per household. Rosenblum said many couples are both members and there are parents who live with adult children who are also members.
By contrast, the range of NRA magazines means that three members living in the same household could get three different magazines — and a child could get his or her own magazine as well.
Arulanandam noted that year-end 2012 figures do not necessarily reflect the surge in membership reported by the NRA. "When you are looking at, for example, the December magazine number, that mailing list is actually based on membership at the end of October, the magazine mailed November 15 or so," he said. "We also have a lot of 'bill me' members who we don't count until they pay."
On the face of it, the NRA's membership claim appears at least a tad exaggerated. Perhaps magazine subscriptions are only a rough guide, but even adding in Arulanandam's numbers for digital subscriptions and refused subscriptions, the NRA had just under 4 million members near the end of 2012. Could the organization really have gained more than 500,000 since the Sandy Hook tragedy?
Of course, even 3.1 million members is a fairly large number — though it remains a relatively small percentage of the roughly 70 million Americans who say they own a firearm.
At this point, we are inclined to conclude that the NRA is overestimating the size of its membership when it claims more than 4.5 million members. Based on the available information, it does not appear credible for the number of members to have increased by 500,000 people in just six months. It actually appears possible that the membership rolls are below 4 million.
Indeed, in his congressional testimony, LaPierre referred to 4.5 million "active" members. Bloomberg News last year obtained a "sponsorship prospectus" for possible sponsors of the NRA's annual meeting that, in a section on "preshow email blasts," referred to 2 million members as the "most active and interested."
Fact Checker: Does the NRA really have more than 4.5 million members/
"It's an honor to be here today on behalf of more than 4.5 million moms and dads and sons and daughters, in every state across our nation, who make up the National Rifle Association of America. Those 4.5 million active members are joined by tens of millions of NRA supporters."

Tehipite Dome
Tehipite is the tallest dome in the Sierra Nevada, standing higher by far over the Middle Fork of the Kings River than its famous sibling Half Dome stands over the Merced River. Tehipite would be a California landmark if only it were not so impossibly inaccessible. From an unnamed trailhead south of Wishon Reservoir (6800) in Sierra National Forest, 16 miles of up down up down trail lead us across Crown Creek (7881) to an anonymous point (8400) in Kings Canyon National Park, where we begin 2 miles of cross country travel through forest and brush down to the base of the dome (7500). The summit itself is a class 3 climb, enlivened by an appalling drop of thousands of feet to the river below. Limit 4 participants.

Saturday we'll hike from Mosquito Flat to a camp at Dade Lake. Sunday we'll climb the northeast buttress of Bear Creek Spire and descend the Ulrichs Route and if time allows climb Mt Dade (class 2) before returning to camp and hiking out. A rope will be carried since some class 4 climbing should be encountered near the summit. To shorten Sunday, we could do Dade on Saturday via the class 2 Hourglass route after setting up camp.
Leader: Terry Cline, firstname.lastname@example.com
Rule of Thumb
The Thumb is a digit extended skyward by the mountain range in an ominous gesture of defiance. The enraged appearance of the peak suggests that it may not be climbed, but we shall seek out a class 3 route. Beginning at the ruins of Glacier Lodge (7796) we will pack primarily on trail to our two-night campsite at Upper Brainard Lake (10800). We will climb over class 3 Southfork Pass (12560), where ice axe and crampons may be necessary. From the pass, the guidebook says the summit route goes class 2, but be prepared for something tougher.

Matterhorn Peak
We'll meet at the trailhead for Robinson Creek at Mono Village Resort, the west end of Twin Lakes, on Saturday morning. (We are taking this trail, rather than Horse Creek, because we can only reserve for 4 on the Horse Creek trail.) We'll hike up the Robinson Creek trail, and camp on the other side of Mule Pass. That's about 14 miles and around 3500' of gain, so it will be a long, hot day, but all on trail. Next day we'll hike the short distance to Burro Pass, then up Matterhorn, and come back via the Horse Creek trail (8 miles). We should be back at our cars by late afternoon. Permit for 8.
