Making TeX Work
Author: Norman Walsh
Publisher: O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.
Price: $29.95
Reviewer: Vince Skahan
I'm an O'Reilly & Associates fan; a big fan. I went through my bookcases at home and at work and counted 19 different O'Reilly books that I've purchased with my own hard-earned cash. I refer to them almost daily.
I have one of the major commercial technical publishing packages available to me at work. I have a copy of Microsoft Word for Windows at home. I like their WYSIWYG look and feel and I like their intrinsic (to me at least) ease of use.
I'm admittedly not a big TeX fan at all; and I even participate quite a bit in the Linux DOC Project, which uses LaTeX as its document mark-up language of choice.
OK, call me a Linux heretic.
I was looking at this book as an opportunity to learn about all the little gotchas that just aren't made visible except by oral tradition from guru to wanna-be. Maybe after reading the book and trying some things, I'll be less TeX challenged. Naaaaahhhh...
Making TeX Work is a book that somehow disappoints me. The book follows the normal exceptionally high quality O'Reilly & Associates standards for organization, format, binding, and appearance. There's 469 pages simply chock-full of information regarding TeX and associated utilities. I just never figured out why a generic Linux user needs to buy it.
The Summer 1994 'ora.com' catalog/magazine from O'Reilly & Associates has an article on this book that describes it as "a complete reference to this complex typesetting system". It also states:
"We didn't want to do the same kind of book so many other people had written; describing the TeX language itself and how you can use it to write your documents in one of the many flavors of TeX macro languages... instead of writing a book on TeX, the text processor, we'd write a book on the entire TeX system."
Cool—a book on how to put all the pieces together and make a document happen...
Later in the article, they mention that:
"In addition to the basic TeX program itself, you need many other tools to write even a moderately complete TeX document. You need to understand how TeX uses macro packages and format files, fonts, pictures, figures, and a host of utilities... "
Hey wait a minute. I'm getting this feeling it won't have hands-on examples...
"Making TeX Work guides you through this maze of tools and tells you how you can obtain them..."
Danger Will Robinson! Sounds like a how to find TeX sources FAQ...
The Big Picture describes what TeX is and what its goals are. It describes a little about how TeX formats pages to look nice, about the differences between text formatting, word processing and desktop publishing, and describes the underlying guts of how TeX does its magic. It's ugly in there, kiddies...
Editing briefly describes some of the usual editors that have varying abilities to provide a good environment for writing TeX documents.
This chapter disappointed me somewhat as I was looking for more information regarding exactly how to do something in typical editors. I was hoping that they'd pick an editor (even [ugh...] Emacs) and give some real details regarding how to hook in and use the editor to efficiently write TeX documents.
Running TeX describes how to execute the program and deal with some of the most common errors in the documents.
Macro Packages describes some of the different formats such as TeX, LaTeX, and TeXinfo as well as some of the more obscure special purpose formats such as MusicTeX. While I found them interesting, there is probably nothing here that you can't find out about elsewhere on Usenet.
There were some comments about how to do TeX in color and how to print 'em on a black and white printer that I found rather interesting.
Fonts describes in laborious detail more than any sane person would want to know about font selection and generation. While it's a nice amount of background information, it sure scared the heck out of me, and I'm probably a typical member of the book's target audience.
Pictures and Figures talks a little about the fact that if you try hard enough, you can draw pictures in TeX. It also gives a few examples about how to include external images in your document.
One nice addition is a description of some of the many image generation, viewer, editor, and manipulation programs commonly available such as xv and ImageMagick. People who plan to provide WorldWideWeb pages with embedded graphics might be interested in this chapter even if TeX and friends scare you off.
International Considerations describes the issues (and tools to deal with them) involved in writing nonEnglish documents in TeX.
Printing talks about utilities that generate the appropriate fonts to be able to print what you can preview.
Previewing describes some of the various viewers for MS-Windows, X, DOS (non-Windows), and Unix terminals.
Online Documentation talks about how to make your TeX documentation available online in some of the more common formats such as TeXinfo, HTML, or ASCII.
Introducing METAFONT describes the mechanics of building non-standard fonts. Again, I wonder whether this issue isn't far beyond the probable ability (or interest) of the book's target audience.
Bibliographies, Indexes, and Glossaries talks about how to use BibTeX to automate citations of references into a bibliography and also about many of the utilities available to automate the creation and manipulation of a bibliography database. It also describes how to construct an index and glossary by annotating your TeX documents.

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

Penn State deserves the sanctions because of the cover up from top to bottom. But unfortunately in our society money talks. Penn State, NCAA and BIG 10 want the revenue of not destroying the football program for 5 years. A lot of the facts aren't being disputed by the Paterno's. They are just adding a different spin on it. If they drop the sanction against Penn State they should put Old Joe's statue back up and we can all pretend like nothing happened. |

Thanks for visiting our board! I know you are worried!! |
29 weeks 3 days ago | Proof is in the pudding |
Our offensive tackles are above average in both run blocking and pass blocking. The offensive guards play on passing play has been average to below average. The real weakness has been our center play. I rate him as poor in pass blocking and just plain sub-standard at run blocking. Unfortunately our choices to play the offensive line are just plain poor and I never like the idea of playing a freshman at that position. Most offensive line freshmen play with very poor technique that must be retaught at the college level. Coach Hoke is all about the offensive and defensive line. Those positions will be flat our scary in 2 years. 11-2 last year and 8-4 so far this year. Do Not forget Rich rod!!!! |
29 weeks 6 days ago | Just an opinion |
Regardless who wins the game Conley will be gone. Goes back to Hoke saying make sure your done with visits to other schools before you commit to Michigan. I'm okay because I think Channing Stribling is an absolute STUD!!!! |

Chicken tikka masala is the single most popular Indian restaurant dish in the world. Why is it so rarely made at home?
Chicken tikka masala is not an authentic Indian dish—it was invented in a London curry house. Without historical roots, there is no definitive recipe. The variations we found had mushy or dry chicken and sauces that were unbearably rich and/or overspiced.
The promise of a new way to cook chicken with exotic flavors holds plenty of appeal—especially if the recipe can be kept simple and made with readily available ingredients.
To season the bird, we rubbed it with salt, coriander, cumin, and cayenne and refrigerated it for 30 to 60 minutes. Then we dipped it in yogurt mixed with oil, garlic, and ginger. To cook the chicken, we chose to keep this a year-round recipe by using the broiler instead of the grill. And since large pieces don't dry out as quickly as smaller ones under the broiler, we cooked the chicken breasts whole, only cutting them into pieces after cooking. While the chicken was cooking, we made the masala sauce. Masala means "hot spice," and the ingredients in a masala sauce depend on the whim of the cook, although tomatoes and cream are always present. We added onions, ginger, garlic, chile, and a readily available commercial garam masala spice mixture (McCormick won a recent taste test). A little tomato paste and sugar gave our sauce color and sweetness.

The robbery attempt occurred near Walmart on Plank Road in Baker.
Baker Police Chief Mike Knaps said about 9:46 a.m. on July 21, officers received a call from a woman who said she had just been held up at gunpoint by two armed suspects and then shot.
According to Knaps, the victim had just made a purchase at the r Walmart and was walking home when two men approached her and demanded her purse while brandishing an orange-colored gun. The woman said when she refused, one of the suspects opened fire, striking her as they fled on foot.
After the victim was able to positively identify Jasper Bivens, 17, of Baker, he was apprehended a short time later and taken into custody without incident.
Bivens told detectives the orange gun was in fact a flare gun that had been loaded with nails to be utilized as an extra projectile.
Bivens also implicated Patrick Piper, 26, of Plaquemine, as the second suspect.
Knaps said a short time later, when Piper was apprehended by BPD uniform patrol officers and taken into custody, it was discovered during his arrest that he is currently on federal probation for an unrelated offense.
Bivens was booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison and charged with attempted armed robbery, attempted second-degree murder and illegal use of a weapon.
Piper was also booked into EBRPP and charged with attempted armed robbery, attempted second-degree murder, illegal use of a weapon and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Product Backstory
A creature from a distant world, the Predator lives to fight, fights to win, and would sooner die than abandon the hunt. He is fearless, merciless and armed. Carrying an arsenal of advanced weaponry and technology and clothed in a suit that provides the perfect camouflage, he seeks only the most dangerous of game. He stalks his prey, collecting the skulls of victims as trophies and leaving bloody carnage in his wake. Though brutal, he is not without honor, hunting only that which is armed or capable of self-defense, for the sport is in the challenge. Whether it is an acid-blooded alien or an elite team of human commandos, the Predator is always up for a knock-down battle to the death.Product Reviews
Pappa knows Best!
If you are on the fence about this one gievn the less than stellar reviews of the classic pred DON'T BE!! Reknowned predator painter Joe Dunaway did the proto paint and the sideshow elves have replicated it close meaning that the details on this 'Old Bird' coupled with the pose make him a BEAUTY!

Cape Hatteras & Cape Lookout National Seashore
The southern two-thirds of the Outer Banks are now included in the nature reserve formed by the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and Cape Lookout National Seashore. Since these long, thin coastal islands lying between Pamlico Sound to the west and the open Atlantic to the east have been spared the invasion of mass tourism they form an undisturbed habitat for rare plants and for numbers of seabirds and migrants. Beside Bodie Island lighthouse is an observation platform.
Official site:
1401 National Park Drive, Manteo, NC 27954, United States
Related Attractions
Wright Brothers National Memorial
In the dunes of Kill Devil Hills on Bodie Island (mileposts 7 and 8 on U.S. 158) is the Wright Brothers National Memorial where the brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright made the first powered flight in history on December 17th 1903. Their aircraft, piloted by Orville, rose into the air for 12 seconds, covering the short distance marked by the memorial stones. Close by are the brothers' two shed workshops, and in the Visitor Center is a documentary exhibition. The tall Memorial stands on the hill from which the Wrights launched experimental gliders.
Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge
Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge on Hatteras Island encompasses 5,834 acres of land that includes beaches, dunes, upland, fresh and brackish water ponds, salt flats, and salt marshes. The area provides habitat for numerous birds, wildlife, reptiles, and amphibians. Some of the threatened species that use this area are peregrine falcons, loggerhead sea turtles, and piping plovers.Wildlife viewing is the main attraction at Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge and visitors can take a guided canoe tour of the area.
Chicamacomico Lifesaving Station Historic Site, Rodanthe
The Chicamacomico Life-Saving Station Historic Site is a seven-acre complex containing eight historic buildings. It is the largest, most complete United States Life-Saving Service (USLSS) complex in the nation and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The 1874 Station was the first operational station in North Carolina and is the second oldest government structure on Hatteras Island. It is one of only two original 1874 stations open to the public in the nation. A newer station was built in 1911 and is now fully restored. The entire site became an active U.S. Coast Guard station in 1915, when the USLSS merged with the U.S. Revenue Cutter Service that year. It is the scene of the most highly awarded maritime rescue in U.S. history, the S.S. Mirlo in 1918. Site was decommissioned in 1954. There are four additional outbuildings, including a period-furnished cook house, and an original Hatteras Island 10-room, two story home built in 1907. The Chicamacomico Historical Association, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, now owns and operates the site as a museum and educational facility.
The seaside village of Manteo is a great spot to explore North Carolina's seashore. Seaside trails and a pier are just some of the areas that can be explored. Or if the water is not your cup of tea, Manteo has a historic downtown that has been wonderfully restored over the years. Manteo has an active festival and event calendar, be sure to check in to see what's happening when you plan to be in town.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
I'm going to be in Ann Arbor tomorrow to meet a friend and smoke a cigar or two, but I was thinking of playing BRATS in the morning before I meet him to watch the Spain vs. Uraguay World Cup match. Is anyone planning on playing there tomorrow? I don't like to play disc golf alone. Let me know.

Closing (5 minutes), Session 7: The Power of Silence
In "Sing to the Power," a Tapestry of Faith program
Materials for Activity
- Circle of Elements mural from Session 1
- Leader Resource 2, "Silence" Circle, and tape
- Closing Words for Basket (Session 1, Leader Resource 5), and basket
- Bracelets from Session 1, plus lengths of cord for any new participants
- Large beads, one per person, in white or light blue
- Opening Words for Basket (Session 1, Leader Resource 1)
- Taking It Home handout
Preparation for Activity
- Print Leader Resource 2 onto white or light blue paper and cut out the circle.
- Print copies of Opening Words for Basket (Session 1, Leader Resource 1) and Closing Words for Basket (Session 1, Leader Resource 5). You will offer these to the children who volunteer to read opening or closing words next time the group meets, so they may choose and prepare their reading in advance. Keep copies on hand throughout the program.
- Download and adapt Taking It Home and copy for all participants (you may wish to email to parents as well).
Description of Activity
Explain that the session is almost over and that the group will now work together as a community to clean the meeting space. Ask everyone to clean their own area and put away the materials they were using, and then to clean another area or help someone else. No one should sit in the circle until the meeting space is clean.
Gather the group in a circle. Tape the "silence" circle (Leader Resource 1) outside the "Air" quadrant of the Circle of Elements mural, in the position shown on Session1, Leader Resource 3. Say:
Air power is the power of silence, of removing distractions and extra noise so that we can be fully present.
Invite each participant to take a bead and string it on an elastic and, as they do so, to take a deep breath and then let it out.
Ask the day's closing worship leader to choose a reading from the Closing Words Basket and read it aloud (or, to read aloud the reading they prepared after the previous session).
Ask for (and record) volunteers to lead the opening and closing readings for the next session. Offer the volunteers a copy of Session 1, Leader Resource 1, Opening Words for Basket or Session 1 Leader Resource 5, Closing Words for Basket that they may take home to choose and practice their readings. Tell them they are also welcome to choose their reading from a basket when they come next time.
You may wish to invite the opening worship volunteer to bring a symbol of air for the centering space.
Invite participants to put the bracelets in the Closing Words Basket.
Distribute the Taking It Home handout. Thank and dismiss participants.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations. Please consider making a donation today.

Best WORN IN new jeans
Super comfy in fit and material. The distress in the knees is perfect and the color wash makes it look like an old pair of fave jeans.
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

Amazing Jeans
These jeans are honestly one of the best pairs of jeans I've owned thus far. I usually buy J Brand, Citizens, or AG, and these are my first pair of rag & bones. I have to say, they really do live up to the hype. The fit is great, the material is stretchy but also sturdy and provides support. The color is a slightly faded black and these can go with anything and everything, from everyday clothing to a night out depending on what you pair them with. They look good with both ankle boots or knee high boots and are very versatile. Highly recommended!
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

Dont think twice about buying these. they are a must have staple jeans, not to mention incredibly comfortable! I agree with some of the reviews though, they do tend to stretch after a couple uses. I would suggest sizing down.
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

Higher waisted
These are not low rise so a bit of room around the top of the jean. Agree with the other reviews. The holes at the knees are just enough, not over the top but give a nice effect. The colour is also great. Very comfortable and the material is quite stretchy.
Sizing: Larger than Expected

Hrm.... Trying to make up my mind
I'm not sure if I should keep these jeans. I know most of the other reviewers have said that this fits true to size but for me, they ran small. I'm 5'4" and about 105 lbs and wear a waist 24" -25" and a size 0. I purchased these in the size 24" as all my other Rag and Bone jeans are a 24" (with the exception of one that I bought in a 25" and is loose on me). The fabric is a lot thicker than the other denim I own and I think it's because I'm short but the knee "holes" don't really sit in the proper place. It's about half an inch off. I would have to get the length tailored on this too, although I tried rolling it up like picture on the model and that looked nice too. I'm really on the fence with this one because usually I love all my Rag and Bone jean purchases!!
Sizing: Smaller than Expected

perfect grey jeans
super comfortable and stretchy, very cool looking, and easy to match. I recommend these to everyone!
Sizing: Larger than Expected

perfect color
I'm a big fan of Rag & Bone Jean I like the most about this jean is the perfect grey color. Nomarly gery jeans make your thigh looks beefy but this gery color is just perfect. tight or baggy both look good so don't hesitate because of the size.
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

A must!
I can't believe I almost returned these jeans. When I first put them on they felt tight and stiff but after a few wears, they completely softened up and now feel like sweats. They can be dressed up or down and with booties or pumps...I think the amount of distressing is perfect- not over-the-top but enough to make a statement. Highly recommend these!
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

This Jeans Rocks!!!
Amazing pair of Rag&Bone jeans...the fit is pretty much the same of Jbrand jeans which for me means a size 25...the color is a faded black more on the greish side...but for me this is a plus since i have a dozen of black skinny jeans inmy closet!
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

Not like picture
I thought I was going to love these! Been looking for gray distressed jeans for a while. The jeans were a lot less distressed and the holes a lot smaller than pictured. I also thought they were quite stiff and not stretchy. Love my other pair of Rag & Bones though!

Helpers in Santa Clarita, CA
Compare prices and read customer reviews for helpers in Santa Clarita.
Most websites gather information about your job and then sell the lead to a small pool of service providers. Not us. On HireAHelper.com you can…
- See prices for local service providers, instantly.
- Read real, unfiltered customer reviews.
- Book your help securely online.
Living in Santa Clarita, CA presents certain challenges when move day comes. Finding a moving company that does a great job and doesn't charge an arm and a leg should be easier than spotting a California Valley Quail (the state bird, FYI).
The experts say it's important, when moving in California, to compare multiple movers' quotes and to get references or reviews from past customers of each company. This could mean several hours of research as you work your way through the Santa Clarita phone book, calling individual moving companies. It also means you might not get the most transparent, unbiased reviews (what company would give a potential customer the contact info to a disgruntled past customer, as a reference?)
The solution, in a situation that demands such high levels of transparency, is a 3rd party (enter HireAHelper.com). We've found that a trustworthy place is needed for Santa Clarita, CA consumers to read un-edited reviews on each moving company and see clear, upfront pricing. Santa Clarita movers listed on HireAHelper.com know they are held to a higher standard because (1) all future customers will see real comments left by past customers - positive and negative, and (2) future customers will see each moving company listed right along side of their Santa Clarita, CA competitors. This encourages open price competition and higher quality moves, on every move booked through HireAHelper.
One more piece of good news - our movers aren't just in Santa Clarita. In fact our list of moving companies doesn't just cover all of California. It doesn't matter where you're moving to, HireAHelper.com has local movers listed nationwide. So, regardless of if you need unloading help from Chicago movers or Houston movers, we've got someone there ready to get you into your new home.

Way to not only be musically ignorant, but also not contribute to the thread by not rating the song above you. Contribute and post something constructive or don't bother posting at all.

Kind of reminds me of Nickelback, ie. overpowering vocals paired together with repetitive rock guitar lines while repeating the chorus several times. I'm aware many bands can be described that way but somehow Nickelback is the one that came to mind first. I know people who like this kind of music but it's not for me. 5/10

Pretty good. 8/10. His Scottish accent mixed with the folksy instrumentals make for a cozy song.
Now let's move along to Ireland.
Tbh, I'm pretty biased when listening to anything with Zakk Wylde, I really hate the harmonics that not only he uses, but also Lamb of God and tons of other guitarists, funnily enough most of them popping up in the 90s, uses. However, this gladly surprised me. This song has a very nice energy going.
8/10, best Zakk song I've heard as of yet.

Much of the football talk up and down I-95 this week revolves around Joe Flacco and Michael Vick, and the different directions their careers appear to be headed.
Vick, who returned to the game with a splash in 2010 after serving time on dog fighting-related charges, is coming off a mediocre season last year and a four-interception performance in last week's season opener against the Cleveland Browns. To be fair, Vick did rally the Eagles for a late-game win, 17-16.
However, Vick's 32 now, and some wonder if his incredible athleticism has waned a bit.
Flacco, on the other hand, earned rave reviews after masterfully directing the Ravens' new no-huddle offense in a 44-13 romp over the Bengals. Completing 21 of 29 passes for two touchdowns and 299 yards, suddenly NFL observers believe he might be one of the elite quarterbacks in the league — as he said so himself last year.

Move through Fantasy and Reality while watching Asian Drama!
of 2731
Description: It is several hundred years B.C., the Warring States period, a time of constant strife between the seven kingdoms of China, and the mighty Zhao army is making its way towards its nemesis, the Yan kingdom. In the Zhao army?s way lies the small fiefdom of Liang, the central city of which cannot hope to withstand the fearsome Zhao onslaught. Their only hope lies with the nearby Mozi tribe, known far and wide for their particular skill at repelling sieges. As the flame of hope flickers at the edge of extinction, weaker hearts plead with the king of Liang to surrender, to throw the city?s population to the mercy of the Zhao leaders, for the Mozi will not send their warriors to help. But help from the Mozi has arrived at the city gates ?- a single man, unarmoured and humbly garbed.

Here I want to highlight that theologians were already doing philosophy without knowing it, or if knowing, denying it was a proper philosophy: In this Bible.Org article on Scottish Common Sense Realism the author describes the quick adoption of Baconian philosophy by Dispensationalists and the reasons for that adoption: The Influence of Common Sense Realism on Early Dispensationalism It is important to note that despite its overwhelming acceptance, many American Christians were unaware of Common Sense Realism as an actual philosophical system. Writes Noll, "For much of the history of the United States, evangelicals denied that they had a philosophy. They were merely pursuing common sense." 7 Diogenes Allen adds that the resulting effect of this catechesis of Common Sense Realism was, "a static view of Christian doctrine and morals with no sense of historic [one might add, philosophic] development." 8 In fact, as dispensationalism was first being articulated, it seems to have simply assumed as unquestioned fact many of the tenets of Common Sense Realism. After all, one wasn't necessarily doing philosophy by simply using common sense, was he? Thus, when one encounters hermeneutics texts by early dispensationalist authors (and other Enlightenment theologians, as well), very little space, if any, is given in defense of the philosophical foundations of the interpretative methodological approach being offered. It seems that more often than not, dispensationalists were either unaware of or had simply ignored the role of philosophical presuppositions in their hermeneutical methodology. Bernard Ramm points out this characteristic ineptness towards philosophy in Lewis Sperry Chafer's theology, in particular. "In reading Chafer's theology, it is apparent that he is not at home at all in philosophy. He makes rare references to philosophers, and in most cases Chafer is citing some other source and not the philosopher directly." 9 In actuality, this unknowing acceptance of Baconian ideals is understandable given the anti-intellectual history of many in American Christianity. Nathan Hatch writes of an attitude typical among many American Christians, "[…] they rejected the traditions of learned theology altogether and called for a new view of history that welcomed inquiry and innovation. [T]hey called for a populist hermeneutic premised on the inalienable right of every person to understand the New Testament for him- or herself." 10 And since apart from John Nelson Darby, very few of the real progenitors of dispensationalism ever seemed to have ever undergone serious theological training, the Common Sense epistemology that was the academy's ruling philosophy of the day, no doubt had a significant, though indirect influence on their thinking and approach to hermeneutics quite unbeknownst to them. Marsden writes, "To whatever degree dispensationalists consciously considered themselves Baconians (it is rare to find reflections on philosophical first principles), this closely describes the assumptions of virtually all of them." 11 He further adds, "[…] the millenarian's view of Scripture was, in effect, modeled after the Newtonian view of the physical universe. Created by God, it was a perfect self-contained unity governed by exact laws which could be discovered by careful analysis and classification." 12 Thus, the application of the inductive method to the study of the Bible was a natural and obvious move for dispensationalists and other Enlightenment theologians to make. Consequently, they viewed Scripture to be objective fact, needing only to be read, understood, and classified via common sense, plain, normal, or literal interpretation. William E. Blackstone implicitly reflects this trend throughout his 1904 book, The Millennium. Against proponents of "spiritualized" interpretation he writes, "They tell us that Revelation is a symbolical book and therefore we cannot take its plain statements literally…Such reasoning is most fallacious and destroys all foundation for conveying definite ideas by any language." 13 Darby likewise hints at the influence of Common Sense Realism when he writes, "When therefore facts are addressed to the Jewish church as a subsisting body, as to what concerns themselves, I look for a plain, common-sense, literal statement, as to the people with whom God had direct dealings upon the earth, and to whom He meant His purposes concerning them to be known." 14 |

Right outside my front door.
I have been hearing the raspy squawking of Grackles constantly--they have a nest in one of our Arborvitae bushes.
Today when I went out front door to go on my walk, I startled a Grackle--it was just at my left side--I don't know who was more startled, me or the Grackle. It was either one of the parents or maybe it was this little guy.
You can see the downy fluff on the top of his little Grackly head. I just had to share this. Interesting, as Grackles are not the most loveable bird.

How To Train Your Dragon review (Xbox 360) |
Reviewed by Jason Venter (April 23, 2010) As you spend time outside of the arena with your dragon, whether that be training in the cave or playing mini-games that you have unlocked at a distant cave, your over-sized pet will grow weary. That can quickly impact its performance, so you have to scrounge up grub to feed the beast so that he will trust you and fight his best on your behalf. There's no real challenge to the process; you simply need to have the patience to wander the islands in circles as you hack apart the chickens, sheep and boars. You have to be ready to stop and dig under every rock, to slowly pull up one vegetable or flower at a time and then to wander back to your home to stuff your dragons full of goodies. |

Tattooed artist Vladimir Franz woos in Czech presidential vote despite having no political track record
Presidential candidate Vladimir Franz poses poses with his ballot at a polling station in Prague on January 11, 2013. Czech polling stations were opened on January 11 afternoon in local mid-time for the first round of the first Czech direct presidential election in history. AFP PHOTO / MICHAL CIZEK.
By: Jan Flemr
His smiling blue eyes peer out from a face covered in tattoos as Vladimir Franz meets and greets with voters in his unconventional bid to become the Czech Republic's next president.
Despite having no political track record, the 53-year-old drama professor, classical composer and visual artist -- whose entire body is tattooed -- is running third among nine contenders, according to some opinion polls.
Voters in this European Union country of 10.5 million head to the ballot box Friday in their first direct presidential vote to replace their two-term head of state Vaclav Klaus, a staunch eurosceptic.
The winner will also have to measure up to Vaclav Havel, the icon of the peaceful 1989 anti-communist Velvet Revolution who served as the first post-communist president. A playwright, he died in 2011.
Sporting a fur coat, pointy shoes and a closely clipped mohawk hairdo as he meets voters, Franz hopes his presence in the campaign will inject some down-to-earth honesty into Czech politics.
Dubbing himself the "citizen's candidate", he has urged voters to overcome any apathy they may have towards established politicians.
"The world of art gives you the capacity to speak authentically about things, you're not infected with the newspeak that people are so fed up with these days," Franz told AFP.
"Plus, I think a piece of pure heart would do no harm in politics," he said, naming education, tolerance and culture as his priorities.
The approach has won over young voters in a country which sank into recession last year and suffers from chronic levels of corruption.
His campaign took off on Facebook when a meme comparing him to the conservative Klaus went viral.
Franz's predominantly blue-inked face was set next to Klaus's portrait, both with the caption "a blue president", a reference to the traditional colour of Czech conservatives.
Since then, the page has scored almost 55,000 "likes", while Franz garnered a whopping 88,000 signatures from citizens who endorsed his presidential bid.
"He embodies good morals, a man with a flawless past, incredibly well-educated. I have no doubt he would be quick to find his place and make us very visible in the world," enthuses Verunka Zaoralova in a comment on Franz's Facebook page.
"He may seem dirty from outside, but he's definitely clean inside," adds Mati Brunt on Facebook.
But Franz stands little chance of making it into the election's second-round run-off that is slated for January 25-26.
He is unlikely to endorse either left-winger Milos Zeman, the odds-on favourite, or his right-wing rival Jan Fischer, both politically savvy former prime ministers expected to face off in round two.
But it could be that Franz's hour of glory has simply not yet arrived.
He was the undisputed winner of a recent straw ballot in over 400 high schools where he scored a landslide victory among 61,500 pupils who will soon be eligible to vote.
Regardless of his present slim prospects, Franz is doing his best to capture the public imagination ahead of voting day.
His campaign vehicle, dubbed Air Franz One -- a limousine made of two Mini Coopers welded together -- has become a colourful fixture in the historic centre of the capital Prague, where he teaches drama at the Academy of Performing Arts.
His new opera based loosely on Czechoslovak writer Karel Capek's 1936 science fiction novel "War with the Newts -- a prewar warning to civilisation -- also premieres on the eve of the vote.

I checked the data transmission of an HTTPS website (gmail.com) using Firebug. But I can't see any encryption to my submitted data (username and password). Where does SSL encryption take place?
The SSL protocol is implemented as a transparent wrapper around the HTTP protocol. In terms of the OSI model, it's a bit of a grey area. It is usually implemented in the application layer, but strictly speaking is in the session layer. Think of it like this:
Notice that SSL sits between HTTP and TCP. If you want to see it in action, grab Wireshark and browse a site via HTTP, then another via HTTPS. You'll see that you can read the requests and responses on the HTTP version as plain text, but not the HTTPS ones. You'll also be able to see the layers that the packet is split into, from the data link layer upwards. Update: It has been pointed out (see comments) that the OSI model is an over-generalisation and does not fit very well here. This is true. However, the use of this model is to demonstrate that SSL sits "somewhere" in between TCP and HTTP. It is not strictly accurate, and is a vague abstraction of reality. |
With HTTPS, encryption occurs between the Web browser and the Web server. Firebug runs on the browser itself, so it sees the cleartext data; encryption takes place when exiting the browser. Use a network monitor tool (such as Microsoft Network Monitor or Wireshark) to observe the encrypted traffic. Use a Man-in-the-Middle attack product like Fiddler to get a taste of what an attacker can do (namely: intercepting the connection and recovering the data is feasible IF the user can be persuaded to "ignore the friggin' browser warnings" about untrusted certificates -- so don't ignore the warnings !). |
It's a layer above the transport layer, usually TCP. You can see the encrypted data going in and out with wireshark. |
HTTPS is HTTP over TLS (or over SSL, which is the name of previous versions of TLS). SSL/TLS, when configured properly, provides privacy and data integrity between two communicating applications (see TLS specification), over a reliable transport, typically TCP. Although TCP sockets are not mentioned in the TLS specification, SSL and TLS were designed with the objective of providing a model that could be used almost like plain TCP sockets by application programmers. Besides a few edge cases (for example, for closing sockets or if you want your application you application to be aware of re-negotiations), this is indeed mostly the case. SSL/TLS stacks often provide wrappers that make the SSL/TLS sockets be programmable in the same way as plain TCP sockets (once configured); for example Java's Most applications rely on existing libraries to use SSL/TLS (for example JSSE in Java, SChannel, OpenSSL, Mozilla's NSS library, OSX's CFNetwork, ...). With little modifications to the plain TCP code (usually, everything around certificate and trust management, and encryption/cipher suites settings if required), SSL/TCP sockets (or streams, depending on the type of API) are used to exchange plain text as far as the application is concerned. It's the underlying library that tends to do the encryption work, transparently. When you look at the traffic within the browser's developer's tools, it's what's exchanged on top of those libraries that you see. To see the encrypted traffic, you'd need to look at the actual traffic (e.g. using Wireshark). |

Blog Entry
For those who are not aware, Novell Operations Center Dashboard is built on Liferay. Based on that, there are many tips, tricks, themes and portlets that can be accessed on the liferay site and/or plugged into your Dashboard to expand the overall functionality and/or look of the Dashboard.
It's actually pretty easy to download and install new portlets. Once you are logged into the Dashboard with an administrator account, go into Control Panel. From there select Plugins Installation, this will bring up a list of the currently installed plugins. Pressing the "Install More Portlets" button brings up a list of themes and portlets that can be download and installed.
When you find a portlet or theme of interest, click on it. This will bring up a page that provides more information about the portlet or theme. You can then press the button to download and install it. You really should do this on a dev/test system, it is possible that the portlet will not work as expected.
Once the screen updates that the item has been installed, you can then add it to a page or update the settings to use the new theme. If you find something of interest and want to use it, I recommend that you download it seperately in order to save a copy for DR purposes. From time to time new versions of that portlet/theme may be released (or dropped), you'll want to make sure you have everything available in case you have to rebuild your server due to some type of failure.
Liferay has a community following for customizing implementations, if you are looking to enhance your dashboard, you should look at the liferay site to see what options might be available. There is also other types of documentation and help available on liferays site which might be helpful for some Dashboard implementations.
Disclaimer: As with everything else at Cool Solutions, this content is definitely not supported by Novell (so don't even think of calling Support if you try something and it blows up).
It was contributed by a community member and is published "as is." It seems to have worked for at least one person, and might work for you. But please be sure to test, test, test before you do anything drastic with it.
