The 700-year-old music genre Qawwali is best described as Islamic gospel. Meher & Sher Ali belongs at the top end of the genre. Departing from the Sufi-tradition, in which music is a tool to approach the divine, the two Pakistanis sing and play their way towards the diverse heart of Allah. The Tabla drum and the harmonium along with the chanting vocals make up some of the characteristics of the music. The brothers and their ensemble achieve an ecstasy, which can make even the most unreligious into believers – in the music if nothing else.

Need Help Deciding What Computer to Buy
Hi guys, i recently sold my computer (a 2011 11 inch Air if you must know) and I am trying to decide what to get. I was previously thinking of buying the new Retina MacBook Pro for its potential gaming capabilities combined with such a svelte and light form factor, but that is now out of my price range. I have recently read several posts on why PC gaming is so great, as well as how to build a cheap but powerful gaming PC. So now an affordable gaming PC has also become an option.
To get to the point, I would appreciate if you guys would help me decide by making an argument for me buying either a
A) 2012 13 inch Air with 256Gb SSD or,
B) An affordable gaming PC.
Potentially important details: My Air almost never left the desk while I had it, I love mostly FPS shooters like Halo, Battlefield, and Crysis, but I also enjoy sims; After using OS X for quite awhile, I hate Windows with a passion as it is shockingly and buggy in the few comparisons I've been able to make, but I could put up with it if was a marvelous gaming PC; and finally, I have quite a bit of important data and such in a Time Capsule of my previous Air (I would need some way to transfer that data onto my new Windows computer if I ended up getting one).
Thanks to anyone who ends up helping!

ST. PAUL – Gavin "Gabs" Jon Coria will soon be eight years old, but he has already overcome bigger obstacles than most people will ever face, just to survive.
Gavin was born with infantile fibrosarcoma, a very rare cancer of the soft tissue. The cancer was discovered when Gavin was one month old, and he began treatment immediately. After undergoing numerous tests, medications, surgeries and chemotherapy, Gavin was declared to be in remission at four months old.
While he still goes to the Riley Hospital for Children Survivor's Clinic once a year for a check-up, Gavin's mother, Jodie Louthain, said he is doing great and now focuses on helping other kids with cancer, as well as raising awareness about the lifelong after-effects that come with cancer.
"They say you survive cancer, and yes, you survive, but there are so many after-effects that go along with it," Louthain said.
Gavin met a boy named Alan whom he originally thought had the same kind of cancer. Though Alan had a sarcoma, it was a different kind of cancer. The boys' families became good friends, but sadly, Alan passed away when he was five years old. Gavin saw Alan's dad shaving his head as part of a fundraiser for an organization called the St. Baldrick's Foundation and decided he wanted to do it too.
Gavin learned about the program and decided he wanted to raise the money and donate it in Alan's memory. He and his family like St. Baldrick's because they operate with transparency and 100 percent of the money donated goes to children's hospitals around the country to be used for research on all forms of childhood cancers.
Last year was his first attempt and Gavin raised $1,001 to be donated. This year, Gavin's goal is $2,000. When he reaches his goal, Gavin will make a video of his head being shaved and post it to the St. Baldrick's website. Due to medical problems in the family, they haven't had much chance to promote his fundraiser and collect pledges this year.

Opportunity lost
In case you haven't heard, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina will be replacing its CEO next year. Bob Greczyn, who's been pulling down millions in annual compensation, will take his money and run, leaving his longtime colleague Brad Wilson to pick up the pieces.
For the record, I used to be an employee of one of the marketing agencies that works with Blue Cross. I even met with Mr. Greczyn for a half hour many years ago. From what I could tell, he was a smart guy and a quick study. I remember having a glimmer of hope that if he might become a leader in healthcare reform in America.
Imagine what might have happened had Bob Greczyn chosen to put his personal strength and ambition to work on solving our nation's healthcare challenges. With the incredible knowledge held inside the databases at BCBS, he could have been an expert voice for effective change. He could have risen to the forefront among Obama's preeminent advisors on healthcare policy. He could have led the way toward a more enlightened and a more fair system of care.
Instead, Mr. Greczyn advocated for business as usual, putting personal and institutional well-being ahead of the common good, standing against policies that would strive to deliver universal care and cost containment, Mr. Grecyzn became part of the problem.
The irony in all this is that non-profits like BCBS may have had the chance to emerge as big players in delivering services in a single-payer or public-option world. They might have become the private arms of public-private partnerships designed to provide the transaction processing and management functions required to administer a new and saner system. They might very well have been an essential part of the solution.
I don't know if Brad Wilson will be any better at this, but you never know. The folks are NC Policy Watch are inviting readers to offer Mr. Wilson some words of wisdom. My simple advice is to find a better role model.
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe Bob is going to spend the next year before he retires stepping up to help architect the next generation of healthcare in America. He certainly has the knowledge and charisma to do that.

Pours a very nice looking cream ale. A clean and clear look, with a lot of carbonation. The carbonation creates a nice white head that laces throughout the beer.
Smell has nice clean smells to it. A lot of wheat and light biscuit malts smells.
Taste is awesome on this cream ale. Most cream ales don't have a lot of tastes going on. This beer, has a really nice malty base. A real sweet cream middle that gives this beer some great flavor and a hop shot at the end.
Mouthfeel is very nice, what you would expect on a cream ale. A nice thickness and very smooth going down.
Drinkability is very nice on this cream ale. So many good flavors going on that balance the beer very well. The beer goes down very smooth too, making me want another. Nice work Garin!

3.68/5 rDev -3.9%
A: Pours a bright, clear golden color. The tall, white head has medium density and a somewhat fluffy/rocky texture. Retention is good, and speckles of chunky lacing adhere to the glass in random patterns.
S: Some light graininess and faintly sour/doughy maltiness. Some faint corny sweetness. Hop aromas are faint, with some mild fruity and herbal/floral tones. Some mild notes of ale yeast esters are also present.
T: Moderately grainy and doughy pilsner malts up front. Medium sweetness, along with some mild corny flavor. Hop bitterness is low, but present. Some light herbal and floral hop flavors. A mild fruity and tangy (even vinous?) yeast profile adds depth to what would otherwise be a somewhat sweet base beer.
M: Medium-full body. Smooth and creamy, with rather light - almost wilting - carbonation. A bit dextrinous until a faint drying nip in the finish.
D: A fine beer of an interesting style. That said, this isn't anything especially compelling. It is enjoyable, but you have to concentrate to find much complexity or depth. It does offer a clean overall flavor while maintaining a bit of yeast character.

Served from the bottle into a pilsner glass at Lizardville
A- Poured a pale golden color with one finger of fluffy head that left no lace
S- Very floral aroma, grapefruit, and barley notes as well
T- Nice floral taste, pilsner malt, barley, and nice grapefruit flavor. Much more flavorful than I would have expected for the style, while at the same time being much milder in flavor compared to most craft beers I drink.
M- Highly carbonated, very smooth, and slightly creamy
O- For what it is, it is a good beer. The grapefruit notes on this beer were a pleasant surprise. Very drinkable.

On tap at the brewery. A hoppy cream ale. A nice bitterness, and sme creaminess. Nothing special and in fact a little light mouthfeel, as if watered down somewhat. I suggest they take lessons from the guest tap, the nitro Mojo.Not too drinkable, maybe a transition ale, or smething for a pitcher outside on a hot day.

Had this on tap at the Beer Engine in a pint glass. Pours a pale yellow with a 1" white head that reduces to a thin ring clinging to the edge of the glass.
Has a malty, bready aroma, with hints of honey, creamy butter, grains and floral notes.
Has a creamy rich start, bready and pleasant, before hitting a slight hoppy bitter note. Not terribly complex, this has a simple, enjoyable easy drinking taste that goes well with my burger.
Medium bodied with a slightly bitter finish, this has an easy drinking feel to it.
A decent brew which I'll probably get in a growler to go. While I've never cottoned to the craze for Geney Creme Ale, I do like this creme ale quite a bit.

Do You Know Your Personal Values?
Have you ever asked yourself what the real influences of your decisions are? Why you prefer one situation over another? For instance why do you prefer being employed over working on your own?
It's not primarily due to the circumstances or your emotions, especially not when there was a real decision involved. So why are you making these decisions then?
The answer lies at the core of your character, of what defines you as a person; and that is your personal value system.
How to Follow Your Passion and Do What You Love without Going Broke
There has been some real controversy about following your passion. People like Steve Jobs or Bill Gates say to do what you really love is the number one key to success. Others point out that follow your passion could be the worst advice ever given. What is true? Let's find out why it can be dangerous to blindly follow your passion and how we can make it the right way instead.

Gurmukhi Vowel Pronunciation Guide
The vowels of Gurmukhi are identical to the Punjabi alphabet and are known as laga matra. Mukta is one of 10 vowels of the Gurmukhi script in which Gurbani of Sikh scripture is written. Mukta means liberated and thus has no symbol or character, so is designated only by the top connecting line of the Gurmukhi script. Mukta has a short vowel sound, symbolized by A and is pronounced as the a in about, or another. Mukta is pronounced after a consonant or vowel holder. The Romanized spelling of Mukta is phonetic and may be also spelled Muktaa, however spelling may differ slightly in original Gurmukhi texts, as well as Romanized and English translations of Gurbani and Punjabi.
Gurmukhi Vowel Holder Guide
In the written Gurmukhi texts, or Punjabi language, vowels which are not preceded by a consonant are preceded instead by a vowel holder. Mukta is written in conjunction with the vowel holder Airraa.

Thread: Chester Taylor: Running along
Chester Taylor: Running along
August 10, 2006
[size=18px]Running along[/size]
Author: Mike Wobschall, vikings.com
Most of the talk surrounding Brad Childress' version of the west coast offense deals with the passing game. But let us not forget that the Vikings acquired free agent running back Chester Taylor to be the featured runner, All-Pro guard Steve Hutchinson to pave a path for him and All-Pro fullback Tony Richardson to lead the way.
Clearly, the Vikings are committed to sustaining a solid, powerful rushing attack in 2006 to balance an efficient passing attack led by quarterback Brad Johnson. With so many new faces on offense, the Vikings know they must mesh as an offensive unit if they are to be successful rushing the ball.
"I see a lot of progression," Taylor said, "especially with us learning a new system. The west coast offense isn't an easy system to learn so I feel like we've come a long way since the first minicamps and OTAs (organized team activities) to now. We're building for that first pre-season game and the first regular season game. I think we're making strides every day we come out here."
Strides are good, especially when you're running the football. Hutchinson knows what it takes to be a solid rushing team, as does Richardson. For the previous three seasons, Hutchinson has blocked for superstar running back Shaun Alexander. Last season, Alexander rushed for 1,880 yards and set the NFL single-season record for touchdowns in a season (28).
Richardson blocked for both Priest Holmes and Larry Johnson while in Kansas City. Since 2000, the Chiefs offense has not ranked lower than eighth in the NFL and they were ranked first in 2004 and 2005. Holmes has blocked for four of the top five single-season rushing performances in Kansas City history, including Johnson's team-record 1,750 yards on the ground in 2005. He also helped Holmes establish an NFL record with 27 rushing touchdowns in 2003.
Taylor knows the value of a good blocking fullback from his days in Baltimore.
"We had Alan Ricard as our blocking back and he did a great job," Taylor said of his former teammate. "Jamal (Lewis) had 2,000 yards with him blocking so I'm used to having a fullback. I can run with one or without one but Tony Richardson is an excellent one to have back there."
So far, offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell has been happy with what he's seen from Taylor and the offense.
"He [Taylor] was running the ball physically, which is important to us," Bevell said. "He's done a nice job in protection and getting out of the routes.
"Our running game is coming along. We've been able to break a few runs against our defense, and have that explosive run where you get one that breaks out over 12 yards. We've seen that. I think the backs and the offensive line are jelling together."
Youthful receivers
With six of the 12 receivers on the Vikings roster having two years of experience or less, training camp and the pre-season will be strong evaluation tools for coaches come cut day. Although 12 is not an excessive number of wide outs to have in camp (and is only slightly above the average number), the depth has made for a fierce competition among the pass catchers.
"I would be lying if I said we didn't look at it as a competition because we have some good receivers out here," receiver Josh Davis said. "And with good receivers you're going to have competition and we're always out here competing with one another."
Younger players such as Davis and Jason Carter can take this opportunity to learn from veterans like Koren Robinson and Marcus Robinson.
"I just try to sit back and watch these veterans and try to learn from them," Davis said. "The pre-season is a big deal for us younger guys because it gives us a chance to prove ourselves. Basically, we live for the pre-season."
Deep value
Currently, the Vikings have five players on the second-team offensive and defensive lines that played part of the season as starters in 2005. Additions to the roster such as Steve Hutchinson and Artis Hicks, plus players like Kenechi Udeze coming back from injury, give the Vikings some depth on both lines. But Head Coach Brad Childress warns that depth may be here today, and gone tomorrow.
"You can say you have depth, and about two seconds later you're short of guys," coach Childress said. "You go into training camp and you think you've got a lot of defensive linemen and the next thing you know you're down to two strings. Depth is a good thing. It's a great to have people that are pushing because they want to be on that first line. If they've started before, they have that game experience."
Highlight reel
Fred Smoot and Ronyell Whitaker were on top of their games during Thursday morning's practice. Each player made an outstanding play to break up an attempted pass during live team action. Smoot was covering Troy Williamson as he ran a short comeback route. Brad Johnson's pass was batted down by Smoot as he closed quickly on the play. Whitaker broke up a J.T. O'Sullivan pass intended for Jason Carter by diving in front of the receiver and reaching out to bat the ball down.
E.J. Henderson, who has been having a good camp, intercepted another pass during Thursday's morning practice. On the play, Johnson was attempting a pass to a receiver across the middle. Henderson leaped up and tipped the ball, then grabbed it as he raced the opposite way.
While addressing the media, coach Childress explained that the offensive line will be tested during the first pre-season game because they'll go against a live defensive line.
"Not that our front four is chicken salad or what have you. They're pretty good," coach Childress said.
Injury report
Darren Sharper (lower leg) practiced in full pads today and took part in all drills.
Bryant McKinnie (hand) took part in practice today.
Receivers Koren Robinson (knee) and Marcus Robinson (neck) did not practice today.
Ciatrick Fason, who suffered a concussion during yesterday morning's practice, sat out today.
Offensive lineman Jason Whittle left practice early with what coach Childress termed a "rapid heartbeat".

Lookin' good to me.. I can't wait for that first series against the Raiders, both for the offence and defence.
Re: Chester Taylor: Running alongIE.J. Henderson, who has been having a good camp, intercepted another pass during Thursday's morning practice
Does he take more risk during practice than he would if he was in a game situation?
I'm thinking that he would, since I don't think you're going to throw the ball away in practice.

State Senator Jeremy Nordquist's bill is called the 'Skin Cancer Prevention Act,' aiming to reduce exposure to cancer risks among young people.
Escaping to a warm tanning bed in the middle of winter may be just what you need. But should their be an age limit on who can use one? Senator Nordquist of Omaha says the answer is yes.
"For me, this is very much a public health issue," Nordquist said.
He introduced a bill Friday that would prohibit anyone under the age of 18 from using a tanning bed, citing reports that say young people who use them are at a much greater risk of developing skin cancer.
Out on the streets of Lincoln, people are sounding off.
"I mean at what point does the government get out of your life and let you live your life? I think at some point you have to say, 'Look, focus on what's important, what needs to be controlled and let people live their lives," Steve Nolan said.
When it comes to restrictions, Nordquist says there aren't any in Nebraska. He says 33 states have some type or another, many involving permission from a parent. His bill wouldn't even allow that.
"I'm more in favor of anybody having parental consent or something," Kelly Rutter said.
One parent we spoke to says she's happy to see the bill.
"I have a little girl that's 8, soon to be 9-years-old and I don't want her tanning before she's 18," Stephanie Maxfield said. "When you're doing it at that age, you're just trying to look pretty. You're not thinking about the long term affects on your skin."
That's one of Nordquist's biggest concerns.
"When we're looking at long term health consequences that come along with tanning, I think it very much should be restricted, certainly greater than it is right now," Nordquist said.
One thing to note, this measure doesn't prohibit spray tanning.

Sitewide Forums are broken.
Hi there,
I've got some serious experience with WP and BP this past couple of years, and I'm now developing probably my best website to date. Nevertheless, I've encountered a critical error in BuddyPress that keeps me stall.
This is the Sitewide Forums. I remember when installing forums in BuddyPress was a breeze… not anymore.
(I've read all the codex) When clicking on Install Sitewide Forums, it all goes smoothly, but, once the forums are "running", I start to realize…. I can't see the forums, they're not in the BPBar, they're not in the activity…. and they may throw me a couple of errors here an there… help!

We all know the hazards of doing a live demonstration. And with command-line tools, there is the added risk of annoying the audience while you stumble around the keyboard.
I wanted to make all that go away. So I created App::Cleo. It includes the
cleo utility which runs pre-recorded commands interactively. You can step through each command simply by pressing the space bar. So no more typos!
Sometimes, you want to stop and explain something in the middle of the command. For that, you can put breakpoints inside your commands. And when things go wrong, you can redo the current or previous command by pressing
r or
p respectively.
You can see
cleo in action in this video (the live demonstration starts around 10:47).
PS: It wouldn't surprise me if there is already some kind of tool for this. If you know what it is, please enlighten me.]]>
merge command. At the moment, it is only capable of doing a fast-forward merge (that is, when the target stack hasn't changed since you last forked or merged it). I still plan to support other types of merges, but I actually think fast-forward merging will cover the majority of scenarios.
Most of the time, stacks are short-lived. You make a copy of the stack, upgrade some packages, and then build your app. If your tests fail, you probably throw the new stack away and stay with your current packages. If your tests pass, then you immediately merge the new stack back into the original.
This release also contains
reset and
revert commands that are similar (but not identical) to the same commands you find in git. All the new commands are experimental, so the interface and behavior are subject to change.
So I'm not calling the grant work "done" just yet. Once these new commands have been battle-tested a bit, then we'll see where things stand.]]>
This will be my fourth YAPC, and I'm especially excited this year. There have been a lot of advancements in asynchronous programming, meta-object protocols, and web frameworks. So I'm really looking forward to presentations on those.
And of course, there are all the hidden gems that I discover at YAPC -- things I had never expected to learn, but turn out to be incredibly useful or enlightening. Those alone are well worth the expense of attending.
And I always enjoy meeting all the fantastic people who have contributed to Perl::Critic and Pinto over the years. So if you see me, please come up and say "hi". I am pretty easy to spot -- I'm usually the only guy wearing a suit and tie.
Hope to see you all in June!
Pinto is a powerful tool for creating and managing a private CPAN. Pinto make it easy to control your dependencies and ensure your app is built with the right module versions every time. The latest release (0.099) includes a boatload of exciting enhancements. Here are the highlights[1]:]]>
$> pinto pull 'Moose==2.0007'
Or you can use a complex version range specification, like this:
$> pinto pull 'Moose>2.0007,!=2.1100,<=2.1200'
This particular feature was financed by the crowdfunding campaign brian d foy organized last year. So I'm very happy to report that I've finally delivered the goods, and I want to thank all of the wonderful campaign contributors for their support.
--skip-missing-prerequisites option that tells it to ignore any prerequisite packages that it can't find. This is especially useful when you're populating a repository with your private distributions and you don't want to worry about satisfying all the private prerequisites because you're going to add them later.
You can install Pinto from CPAN like any other module, but I recommend using the installer script which builds Pinto into a separate directory using blessed versions of all the dependencies. It just takes one command:
$> curl -L http://getpinto.stratopan.com | bash
[1] These features are described in more detail in the change log.
I've done quite a lot of work on Pinto the last few weeks. And today, I pushed a development release to CPAN that has a lot of really cool features and improvements. However, none of this work is tied to the TPF grant.
But now the backlog is cleared up a bit, so I hope to finally finish off the grant work. Look for another update next month.
PS: I'll have a lot more to say about the new Pinto features when I make a production release in a week or so. For a sneak peek, look at the change log.]]>
You can work around this by setting the
sources key in the repository configuration file to cpan.stratopan.com. That site is a full mirror of both CPAN and BackPAN. The configuration file is located at
.pinto/config/pinto.ini within the repository directory.
But not everyone was thrilled about those ideas. Some folks just want to stash stuff in the repository and then say "install it all". And now you can! Read on to learn more...]]> Pinto 0.094 introduces a
roots command that lists the root nodes of the dependency graph which encompasses all the distributions in the stack. In other words, it tells you what you need to install to get everything in the stack.
Given the list of roots, you can let your installer do its magic and unwind all the dependencies for you. This is much better than explicitly trying to install each and every distribution in the stack, because you may not actually want to install optional or build-time dependencies. Here are a couple examples of what you can do:
Install all distributions in the stack in one shot:
pinto -r /myrepo roots | cpanm --mirror-only --mirror file:///myrepo
Generate a basic
cpanfile that would install all distributions in the stack:
pinto -r /myrepo roots -f 'requires q{%M};' > cpanfile
There are some caveats though. Some distributions use dynamic configuration, so the actual modules that need to be installed isn't really knowable until you actually install them. Pinto only knows about the dependencies that are declared in the META files. So the list of roots is not always completely accurate. But if anything, the list is too long rather than tool short, so the impact isn't terrible.
And attempting to install all distributions in a stack does not always make sense in the first place. If your stack contains dependencies for a Win32 system and you're trying to install them on a Linux box, it obviously isn't going to work. For that reason, I suggest using separate stacks for each OS you deploy your app too. Pinto has several other commands that help you manage dependencies across multiple stacks.
So this makes it easy to treat your Pinto repository as a simple stash for distributions. In effect, the stack itself becomes your canonical dependency list, so you don't have to maintain a separate META file or anything like that. This isn't necessarily the best way to record dependencies, but for some, I think it is adequate (or at least, very convenient).
I plan to add a similar feature to Stratopan once this latest release of Pinto has proven itself.
Happy holidays!
I've been preoccupied with Stratopan lately, so I have no progress to report this month. But now that the beta has been launched, I expect to have more time for grant work.
By the way, if you sign up for the Stratopan beta before December 15, you'll get unlimited access for life.
Viva Perl!]]>
Going forward, all development on Perl-Critic will happen on GitHub. For now, other modules like Test::Perl::Critic, Perl::Critic::More, and Perl::Critic::StricterSubs still live in the old Subversion repository but I'll be migrating those as time permits.
I've been wanting to make this move for a long time. The Subversion repository has served us well, but I think GitHub makes it much easier to attract and manage contributions from the community. Huge thanks to Tim Bunce, fREW Schmidt, Andreas Marienborg, Graham Knop, and Andy Lester for making this all happen.
Let the forking begin!]]>
# Apply all "rules" perlcritic --theme certrule YourCode.pm
# Apply all "recomendations"
perlcritic --theme certrec YourCode.pm
# Apply both
perlcritic --theme 'certrule || certrec' YourCode.pm
These are not new policies -- we've just classified the existing policies that overlap with CERT's guidelines. Perl::Critic does not cover all the CERT guidelines, so I suggest visiting their site to see more ways to improve the security of your code.
Thanks to Kirk Kimmel for making this happen!]]>
merge command. The idea here is to merge the indexes of two stacks, much the same way that you merge two branches of source code. This would allow you to create a separate stack for experimenting with additional or upgraded modules, and then incorporate those modules into the master stack once they have been tested and blessed.
I have completed a prototype that handles simple cases when the head revision of stack is a direct descendant of the head revision of the target stack (this is what Git calls a "fast-forward" merge). However the more complex case is when the two stacks have both diverged from the initial branch point. The stack is basically an unordered list, so merging them is not quite the same as merging lines of source code.
There has been a lot of discussion about how this should work on Github. You're cordially invited to give your opinion over there. I'm hopeful that we can come up with a "smart merge" that is specific to the task of managing Perl modules.]]>
From the Stratopan blog]]>
Andy's work is actually the first plugin for Pinto, and I'm very excited about that. Pinto was designed for extension, so you can create new commands just by writing two modules (one for the back-end implementation, and one for the command-line interface). The Pinto API isn't well documented yet, but I've been told that the code is very clean and the existing commands are easy to follow.
As time goes on, I hope to see a lot more plugins like this one. Kudos to Andy for blazing the trail.
From the Stratopan blog
Some of the guidelines are associated with Perl::Critic, so I've given my 2 cents on those.
David Svoboda is the lead author for the Perl guidelines, and he has been very responsive to my feedback.
But I'm no authority on Perl security issues. I'm sure David would love to get some input from real experts in the field. So if you'd like to contribute to this important and highly visible resource, then hop over to CERT's Perl page and request an account.]]>
Pinto-0.087_03 has been released to CPAN and the
diff command now supports both revision IDs and stack names as arguments. The IDs can be abbreviated to uniqueness (just like git). When a stack name is used, the head revision of that stack is assumed. Complete documentation is in the manual for the
diff command.
This is a development release for now, and I will make a production release after the CPAN Testers give me some passing reports. I will also add support for git-like notation for specifying an offset from the head. For example,
foo^ would mean one revision prior to the head of stack foo. Eventually, I may add support for specifying dates too, but that is more distant.
The other feature covered by the grant is merging of stacks. This is an extremely powerful feature, but I'm not entirely sure how it should behave. Their has been some discussion about it on GitHub. So if you have an opinion, feel free to express it at https://github.com/thaljef/Pinto/issues/52
I will publish another progress report in about a month. Many thanks to TPF and the Perl community at large for helping to support this project.]]>

9 Best Lipsticks
Want a pout that packs a punch? Pucker up to these top-rated lipsticks
Why it's great: Readers go absolutely gaga for Guerlain's extensive range of chic shades, including unique oranges, peaches, and rich reds. "This is the best lipstick I've ever used," gushed one reader, reflecting the general consensus about this "creamy and luxurious" lipstick. "Worth the money!"
"It goes on smoothly and stays put," described another reviewer. "The color remains true to the initial application and resists feathering. The scent is wonderful, like vanilla or violets." As for the cost, one user expressed that she'd rather "buy two good lipsticks than one great one;" but overall, readers find these KissKiss lipsticks "priceless!"

RALEIGH, NC (WECT) - State Senator R.C. Soles says he was aware some legislation he recently proposed could put more money in the pocket of long-time friend Rex Gore, the current but outgoing District Attorney for Columbus, Bladen and Brunswick Counties. However, Soles, who will end his reign as the state's longest serving lawmaker at the end of this year, contends he did not propose legislation only to help Gore.
"If it helps Rex, I think he deserves it. He's been a good DA, he's worked hard and if it will help him and doesn't cost the bank a pile of money, I think it would not be bad," State Senator R.C. Soles said Friday from his office in Tabor City.
This week, Soles proposed two bills that could directly impact his friend Gore and the way criminal cases are prosecuted in Bladen, Brunswick and Columbus Counties.
The first piece of legislation would split the District 13 D.A. position in to two posts, with an expenditure of $248,164 to get the job done. The proposed legislation would have an effect on this year's race between Jon David (R) and Harold "Butch" Pope (D).
I was aware that the retirement bill could impact or could possibly impact Rex Gore, but it was not drafted just for him.
Soles bill calls for a District 13A making up Bladen and Columbus Counties and District 13B, which would include Brunswick County only.
[Click here to read the bill ]
The second piece of legislation would lower the state minimum age to receive a pension for those with at least twenty years of service to 62.
[Click here to read the second bill ]
Friday, Senator Soles told WECT News that since the judges districts have been split between Columbus/Bladen and Brunswick Counties for some time, it's only logical to do the same with the district attorney position. Soles says he's proposing the idea in this session in order to gauge interest and see if it's fair for the state. Soles says if it costs too much or if there's a lot of opposition, he'll pull the plan.
The two candidates in this year's District Attorney race are Harold "Butch" Pope (D) and Jon David (R).
Pope lives in Columbus County. If he wins the general election, according to Soles' bill, he would serve District 13A. Governor Perdue would have to appoint a new district attorney for 13B.
David lives in Brunswick County. Should he win in November, Soles bill would have him serving 13B with the governor appointing someone for the other district.
"There are three great counties that are part of the 13th Judicial District," said David. "I am currently a candidate for the whole district. I don't plan on changing my campaign strategy until I hear differently. I don't deal in hypotheticals."
Pope beat long time District Attorney Gore earlier this month in the Democratic primary. Gore is friends with Soles and even recused himself from a criminal investigation last year involving Soles. Theoretically, under the proposed legislation, Gore could be appointed by Governor Perdue should David win the election in November. Gore lives in Columbus County and would be a potential applicant under the way the legislation is currently written.
Gore also has more than twenty years service in office and just recently turned 62.
"I was aware that the retirement bill could impact or could possibly impact Rex Gore, but it was not drafted just for him," Soles said. "If it helps Rex, I think he deserves it. He's been a good DA. He's worked hard and if it will help him and doesn't cost the bank a pile of money, I think it would not be bad."
Thom Goolsby, the Republican candidate for State Senate in New Hanover County, said the move by Soles looks political.
"I have heard of no need for it at all," Thom Goolsby told WECT.com. "It seems to me to be a total political move."
Senator Soles chose not to run for re-election this year. He spoke exclusively to WECT.com about this plan Friday afternoon.

I spent my time this weekend having e-versations with students, faculty and staff regarding the recent Collegian article. I am a firm believer that successful law enforcement is based on transparency, and I wanted to share with you my position.
A planned rally was to be held at the time of the trustees meeting, the rally was advertised through social media, local media and was an open invitation to attend. Due to the unknown size of the rally, I made a determination that it should be held in the Pier area (indoors, large area, access to University officials).
My decision created the condition for the allegations made in the article. I erred in that decision by not being inclusive. The decision was properly corrected a little while later when student government representatives brought their concerns to Dr. Bisese and with members of Dr Ayers's staff, a decision was quickly rendered allowing the rally to be held throughout the building. At no time was anyone going to be arrested prior to, during, or after the event. I certainly recognize the fact that this has been a trying and stressful semester for many people.
So where do we go from here?
The debate and discussions regarding free speech and assembly began in earnest with the trial of John Zenger in 1735, and continues today. Unfortunately in the world we live in, time, place, and manner, do present prohibitions and challenges to the First Amendment. I also realize that because of the University of Richmond, members of our community may in the future, argue a First Amendment case in court or as a business C.E.O. make a decision with First Amendment implications or initiate a social cause designed to strengthen or minimize those prohibitions.
To provide a unique experience for our students, I am now planning to have representation from students in future planning events that may require a need for security or may be controversial in nature. I already have student representatives attend weekly staff/operations meetings so this is a natural growth for the department. UR student perspectives, early participation and being transparent when possible will go a long way to ensure this type of situation does not occur again.
Good luck to all on exams this week and safe travels.

The Story of My Divorce
Too Good a DealJanuary 27, 2010
I'm at the Gap, where I stumble upon a clearance rack with a dozen pairs of men's pants marked 90 percent off. Five of them are in M.'s size.
I've been buying his clothes since we were engaged. The day M. showed up at my parents' house to ask them for my hand in marriage, he was wearing acid-washed jeans with a matching jacket. After that day he let me take over his wardrobe.
The pants are $4.99 each. I take them off the rack. I put them back on the rack. I take them off again. What's the etiquette of buying clothes for a man whose earnings pay your credit card bill; who is still your husband, but not really? I take the pants to the register.
Later I call a friend and tell her what I've done. I ask her if it's weird. "Yes," she sputters. "Don't give them to him."
"I couldn't not buy them for $5!" I reason. "If I hadn't bought these, then the next time he needed pants he would have bought them for $50 each, and that would have been $250 less that could have been spent on our kids."
Silence. "Okay," I sigh. "It's weird." In the end we decide that the kids will give the pants to M. for Father's Day.February 20, 2010
M. is proving himself to be the best ex-husband a girl could ever hope for. It's not just that the checks arrive on time. It's that he e-mails me pictures and updates of the kids when they're with him. It had always been my job to make sure the boys saw their grandparents regularly, but now he takes the kids to visit his parents weekly -- and he stops by my parents' house on the way home. He even invites my parents to spend time with the kids at his apartment. I explode in frustration: "Why are you doing all of this now? Why weren't you this great when we were married?"March 21, 2010
I've been on Facebook for six months and only recently discovered, quite by accident, that M. is on it, too. In an unhinged moment of trying to show how evolved I am, I send him a friend request. He e-mails me saying he'll accept the request -- as long as I don't mind seeing that his status is listed as "single."
I don't reply.April 3, 2010
A friend is visiting while the kids are with M. "You look good," she says. "Everyone who's heard about your divorce has been surprised, because they say you've never looked better."
"I've never felt better," I tell her honestly. "In these last few months I'm happier than I've ever been. I've been trying to put a name on this strange, unfamiliar feeling of lightness. I think it's called 'absence of suffering.'"
I do cry sometimes, I tell her, but they're cleansing tears -- not the black tears of depression.
"Well, whatever it is, keep it up," she says. "It's nice to have the old you back."April 5, 2010
While spinning on the tire swing at the park, my younger son throws up. He's not feeling well, and the pediatrician is available in two hours. Just enough time that it makes no sense to go back to my house, when we're already so close to M.'s apartment and to the doctor's office. I call M., and we head to his place.
We usually do the handoffs at my house, so this is only the third time that all of us have been here. I deposit my son in the tub, then throw his clothes in the washer. I fill up the load from the hamper next to it. And I reflexively empty the dryer.
M. is sitting just a few feet away. "You don't have to do my laundry," he says.
"I'm not." But I am. I'm doing my kid's laundry, and my husband's laundry, in a home where their things belong, and I don't. Silently, I start crying and turn my back to M. so he won't see. But I can't turn my head too far, because then my son may be able to see me from the bathroom. So I keep my head at that funny, twisted angle, hunched over the washing machine, and sob.Today
The past two years haven't been easy -- for me, for my children, for their father. Time does not heal all wounds. But it has allowed for scar tissue to form, enough so that the wound no longer requires my constant attention. Though we've lost so much, M. and I have developed a beautiful and cooperative parenting relationship -- and even a friendship.
Still, the divorce was a death. It was the burial of family photographs with four people in them. It was the burial of my head leaning on M.'s shoulder as we watch our sons get married. It was the burial of a love that lived so deep in my bones that it was the actual marrow of my existence. It was the burial of M. holding my hand when I'm 79 and he's 83 as we sit on our old green upholstered couch, debating the cost of generic versus brand name, while he's wearing the pants I bought him, pulled halfway up his chest.
R. M. Yaqub's writing was featured in the most recent volume of The Best American Essays anthology series. She lives with her two sons in Maryland. If you think you've met her future husband, drop us a line.
She's ready to meet him.

After months of rumours, whispers and behind the scenes negotiating, it's now official: The 2014 Battle of the Paddle will not be at its traditional home of Doheny State Beach, but instead will move five minutes north to Salt Creek.
The Battle of the Paddle California, which for the past six years has been the biggest race of the season and the only race that's been able to attract virtually all of the world's best, will also be on a new weekend this year: October 4th & 5th, one week later than its usual last-weekend-in-September time slot.
The move in date and location are due to a number of reasons, but it basically all boils down to this: State Parks and Rainbow Sandals haven't exactly gotten along the past six months, after State Parks dumped a bunch of unreasonable demands on the doorstep of the BOP organisers and told them to either take it or take a hike. That led to a lot of back-and-forth behind the scenes, but in the end the BOP crew decided they could organize a better event for paddlers, fans and exhibitors if they had the freedom of a new location.

Albany -- The rain we've gotten this week has helped dampen south Georgia's wildfire problem, but not much.
Forestry rangers say wildfires ran rampant through south Georgia earlier this year because of the dry weather.
Several lightning strikes in a dry area caused more than 31 acres of young pine trees to burn up in east Albany last week.
Rangers say the rain has helped some, but not enough."It's scattered so we still have a lot of areas that have not recieved any rainfall, so those are the areas that we're worried about right now," said chief ranger Deanna Pietras.
Rangers say during dry weather you should avoid controlled burns because they can easily get out of control.

Last year was one of the deadliest years for deaths on Clarksville highways.
According to Clarksville police, there were 3,747 accidents on the city's highways in 2012 and 16 people were killed.
Police say Ft. Campbell Boulevard was the worst in terms of accidents with 449 wrecks.
"They're using this like a racetrack between the stoplights, trying to see how fast you can go to get from point A to point B," Sgt. Johnny Ransdell told Nashville's News 2. "We've got everybody getting off of work traffic [is] just bumper to bumper. We've got people not paying attention."
Due to the up tick, Clarksville officers will increase traffic enforcement during peak driving times between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Ft. Campbell Boulevard.
"Just seeing us out there, in the police cars, having all these cars stop it will eventually slow them down and hopefully reduce the number of traffic accidents," Ransdell said.
Officers will also look for drivers with seatbelt violations, who are texting or who are following too close to other drivers.
Ransdell told Nashville's News 2, "Our main goal is to reduce the accidents and reduce the fatalities in Clarksville."
Thursday, January 31, the first day of the increased patrols, Clarksville officers handed out more than 40 citations.

1D tattoos - mothers get the needle
2:14pm Thursday 31st January 2013 in Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
One Direction have revealed their mothers have been getting the needle over their dedication to tattoos.
The group, who were brought together on the 2010 series of The X Factor, have dozens of tattoos between them with Harry Styles being the biggest fan of body art.
Liam Payne told ITV's Daybreak his mother "went crazy about the whole tattoo idea", but bandmate Zayn Malik laughed off stories that X Factor supremo Simon Cowell was upset about it.
He said: "Simon hasn't said anything but our mums have been like, 'maybe you're getting a bit too much'."
Harry said the group's recent visit to Ghana for Comic Relief had been "amazing".
He said: "We all kind of went out there not really knowing what to expect and then we all came back... just kind of going, 'that was the best thing we've ever done'."
Zayn, whose relationship with Little Mix star Perrie Edwards has seen him hit the headlines recently, said of the trip: "It kind of put things into perspective for me... you go over there and you actually see people that are actually dealing with real problems and, you know, just having to carry on every day and keep going, so, yeah, just a general sense of putting things into perspective for me."

The first Municipal Marina docks along the Grand River, just north of the area of what is now Waterfront Stadium, were built in the late 1950s. There were 54 slips at the beginning, says Dr. Dave Seibold in his local history book, "Grand Haven in the Path of Destiny."
The marina is a joint venture between the city and the state Waterways Commission, which is part of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. With a state grant, the city added 16 slips in 1984 for the charter fishing boats, along with a fish cleaning station and restroom.
The city is now preparing for a $1.1 million project to improve the marina's shoreline protection system and protect the floating docks. The project includes a new seawall, storm sewer improvements, a small amount of dredging and stone revetment removal, and a new energy-efficient ice suppression system.

NTC rebel operatives holding former Libyan Prime Minister Baghdadi al-Mahmudi have been accused of beating and torturing him. There is an international appeal to bring about his release., a photo by Pan-African News Wire File Photos on Flickr.
Counter-revolutionaries Perscute Within Their Own Ranks
By Jamie Dettmer
TRIPOLI: Salem Al-Ahmer endured his five-year imprisonment in Tripoli's Abu Salim prison in the 1990s. He'd been consigned there for complicity in a coup attempt against former leader Moammar Gadhafi. That background hasn't prevented him from falling afoul of Libya's new rulers though.
A year on from the ouster of the Libyan revolutionary leader, the 43-year-old has once again been declared disloyal – this time losing his job as a member of Libya's first elected parliament after he was publicly accused of being a Gadhafi sympathizer, an allegation he vehemently denies.
"They are trying to silence me," Ahmer says.
Rebels say he urged people in his hometown of Bani Walid to spurn the US-NATO backed counter-revolution against Gadhafi. And with little transparency, a vetting panel known as the Integrity and Patriotism Commission, which is tasked with keeping people associated with the former regime from holding public office, disbarred him in October.
The work of the commission so far has prompted critics to claim that the body is merely being used in political games and that its decisions reflect shifts in the behind-the-scenes balance of power as key rival politicians jostle and negotiate. It is adding to unease about the country's US-backed elite ready to move toward neo-colonialism.
The commission hasn't explained the reasons for Ahmer's disbarment.
According to Ahmer, he risked his neck in the western hilltop of Bani Walid during the counter-revolution by refusing to speak against the rebels.
"Gadhafi's security people came to me and told me they wanted me to condemn the uprising on television and radio. I told them, 'you can do what you want with me, you can kill me, but I am not going to do that.'"
He's not the only elected lawmaker or nominee for a public post to get the thumbs down from the commission. This month nearly a dozen nominees for jobs in state institutions or missions abroad were blocked. Ten of the 200-strong General National Congress have also been disbarred this autumn, sometimes on the eve of key debates or after or towns or tribes they represent have found themselves at odds with the government.
The commission doesn't detail reasons why it rules against individuals. But it has disclosed why it cleared three former senior Gadhafi figures nominated for Cabinet posts, including Foreign Affairs minister Ali Al-Aujali, who worked closely with Gadhafi as Libya's ambassador to the United States until the early days of the counter-revolution.
Rebels here have released copies of dispatches that Aujali sent to Gadhafi during his two-year stint as ambassador that detail the activities of Libyan dissidents and exiles living in the U.S.
While some with significant Gadhafi histories manage not to cause the commission alarm, others with minor ties to the toppled regime do.
Foreign observers have criticized the integrity commission for this.
"While it is understandable and reasonable that after decades of corrupt dictatorship, public officials in the new Libya should meet high standards of integrity, nevertheless exclusion from public office should be based on concrete and provable claims of wrongdoing," the questionable US-based Human Rights Watch has said. This group never opposed the US-NATO bombing in 2011 of Libya which resulted in the deaths of over 50,000 people.
The integrity commission did not return calls seeking comment.
Ahmer dismisses the allegation of pro-Gadhafi sympathies tersely, arguing that such claims surfaced just as he was he pleading in October for militias from the towns of Misrata and Zawiyah to stop their counter-revolutionary siege and assault of Bani Walid.
The Misratans claimed that Bani Walid was serving as a sanctuary for Gadhafi holdouts, an argument supported by GNC President Mohammad Magarief. Leaders of Bani Walid claim that the fight had more to do with ancient feuds between the two towns than anything else.
About 30 civilians were killed in the fighting and 300 to 500 men remain missing, most likely being held by militias in Misrata and Zawiyah, according to Bani Walid elders.
Bodies still turn up: Two days ago the corpse of a Bani Walid man was returned to the town from Misrata bearing what relatives say were clear signs of torture.
"It was a big shock when I was handed a letter from the integrity commission," Ahmer says. "It was like a heart attack."
Ali Muhairiq, who has been nominated for the post of electricity minister, has also had problems with the commission apparently because of membership as a student of a Gadhafi-era Revolutionary Committee in the 1970s. But for the three decades following that, he was a prominent anti-Gadhafi activist.
He has called publicly on the GNC to review the workings of the commission, arguing that is unclear exactly criteria it is using to adjudicate cases.

It's to be expected that a place as unique as Hard Rock Live Orlando would choose Look Solutions' Unique2 Hazers to enhance the performances of rock musicians, hip hop artists, comedians, Cirque-type acts, and even corporate events. The 3,000-capacity concert venue at Universal Studios CityWalk is housed in a building designed as a retro interpretation of Rome's famed Coliseum.
Hard Rock Live Orlando deploys Unique2 Hazers for hazing and lighting effects on the stage. The Unique2 offers many attractive features including minimal warm up time, variable output, a more efficient fan for quick haze distribution, DMX control, and minimal noise.
"They're great; we love them," says technical manager Brad Meszaros. "The Unique2 kicks because it heats up so fast when you need it. You turn it up, and you'll be smoked out in a minute. The response and output of the Unique is quite amazing."
In addition, Meszaros finds the Unique2's water-based fluid is friendly to the venue's lighting complement. "The oil-based haze we previously used made our lights look like they were bleeding oil," he recalls. "Fans were blowing oil through the fixtures and gumming them up. The Unique2s are much better for all of the equipment that's nearby."
Meszaros is so pleased with the Unique2's overall performance that he'd "recommend it to anybody for any live performance, theater or tour. We're very happy with them."
