No, I don't do it to anyone. But my BFF told me the password to her Webkinz a few years ago, and then said, "And ******** is my password for EVERYTHING! My email too!" So you know, I COULD do something to it if I wanted to, but I NEVER would, of course.

What is HydroSpeed Swimwear?
In 2003, the FINIS Development Team decided to utilize its vast technical knowledge of swimming and apply it towards the creation of a new championship racing suit. By understanding the science behind how the body moves through the water and how the water in-turn reacts with the body, the FINIS team precisely engineered the HydroSpeed racing line of swimwear.
As a result, HydroSpeed suits use specific water repellent and iso-panel characteristics to allow the athlete to perform at the highest level of competition. HydroSpeed suits are also built with tougher fabric and stitching, making it more durable than other similar racing suit on the market. And recognizing the need for an affordable racing suit, FINIS prices the HydroSpeed line so that swimmers of any level can afford to purchase it.

'WE ARE in a streaming world these days. Everything is accessible today and it's a blessed idea, despite the fact that it's not as romantic as it used to be,' says Kobi Farhi (middle) of the popular Israeli group Orphaned Land.

A new streaming service created by Google and YouTube is bringing panic to those in the independent music community that are choosing not to comply with the new company policies set in place by these tech powerhouses.The service allows users to pay for content without having to view advertisements and also gives the option to download songs. YouTube has announced that companies that do not agree to these new terms will be taken off of the website. However, Israeli artists aren't showing as much anger compared to the many voices that have already spoken out against this new deal.Jeremy Hulsh of non-profit Israeli music export office Oleh Records talked about how these problems have a way of correcting themselves in an e-mail exchange."I am pretty confident that if You- Tube does indeed block independent artists [and] labels that refuse to sign their 'terms of service agreements,' a new service, probably created by an Israeli music tech startup, will replace YouTube within the independent music market," he said.Kobi Farhi of the popular Israeli group Orphaned Land believes that there are benefits to this new music service."We are in a streaming world these days," he said. "Everything is accessible today and it's a blessed idea, despite the fact that it's not as romantic as it used to be."Notable artists such as Jack White and Adele are just some of the many musicians that potentially could be removed from YouTube because their record label, XL Recordings, has refused to sign with the subscription service."Artists need labels [of] any kind as it's hard for some of them to finance, distribute and promote their albums," Farhi said. "Of course, I'm an '80s boy, but it's history now."The service has already partnered with record label giants like Universal, Sony Music Entertainment and Warner Music Group.This now puts YouTube in direct competition with other popular streaming companies like Spotify and Itunes, which also have contracts with these record labels."In Israel, the independent music industry is the main player for emerging Israeli artists both at home and abroad," Hulsh said. "Without indie labels developing emerging artists, most of the prolific artists you know about would remain uheard of, and completely undiscovered."Adam Baruch, owner of Israeli record label Jazzis Records, is not in favor of any type of streaming services and believes this type of music distribution to be an extreme hindrance of the music industry."I think the whole format is completely wrong," he said. "The chances of anybody making it are infinitely lower in the new model because you are one of ten million new songs [on the Internet] a day."IMPALA, The Independent Music Companies Association, has filed a complaint to the European Commission, seeking urgent action against these new service terms.Helen Smith, executive chair of IMPALA, commented on the issue during a press conference held in London last week."Negotiations should be carried out in a fair and constructive manner without threats of content blocking being used to give YouTube more weight to impose terms that would not be otherwise acceptable," she said.Alison Wenham, CEO of WIN, The World Independent Network, an organization created in 2006 representing the interests of the global independent music community, spoke regarding the announcement of YouTube's new streaming service."We appreciate that a small number of independent labels may have their own reasons for agreeing to YouTube's terms, that is their prerogative, but they are very much in the minority," she said. "The vast majority of independent labels around the world are disappointed at the lack of respect and understanding shown by YouTube."The paid service will not affect users posting their own songs and videos, only artists that have contracts with a record label.Google launched a separate music streaming service called "Play All Access" in May 2013. The company has not commented on how You- Tube's new service will affect users already paying for Google's service.The YouTube service is expected to be available to the public late this summer.

People should download the package and see whether it fits their needs and works in different platforms. Once it is working I will include it in ECL as a contrib module, if you do not mind. I can give you access to SourceForge if you feel like, but the current business of maintaining CVS and git repositories for the same project means patches have to be channeled through a single person (anybody knows a better solution?). I really do not mind doing that and if you set up your git mirror properly, patches (using git format-patch) will be properly identified with your name. It would also be nice if you could cook up a small docbook description of the library, for adding it to the manual ( http://ecls.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=ecls/ecl-doc) Juanjo -- Instituto de Física Fundamental, CSIC c/ Serrano, 113b, Madrid 28006 (Spain) http://juanjose.garciaripoll.googlepages.com

John McWilliam: Highly respected politician who served as an Opposition whip at a difficult time for Labour
Thursday 19 November 2009
As a member of the Speaker's Panel – senior MPs, not ministers, who chair the committee stage of bills in the House of Commons – John McWilliam was procedurally authoritative and unflappable. For this reason, I was one of 14 MPs who gave him a vote in the long, drawn-out procedure for the election of a Speaker after Lady Boothroyd went to the House of Lords.
McWilliam's capacity for mastering the intricacies of any situation perhaps reflected the fact that he was that rare species among politicians – an engineer. I first knew him as an Edinburgh councillor who at a young age became entrusted by his colleagues with the key position of City Treasurer. He was careful, measured, and thoughtful in all that he did. In Parliament, as his colleague, I assert that he was a seriously underused talent by the Labour leadership.
John McWilliam was born the son of Alexander McWilliam, a post office engineer himself. He had a superb technical training at Leith Academy, a school renowned for its discipline and serious academic purpose, Heriot Watt College before it became a university and the Napier College of Science and Technology before it, too, achieved university status. McWilliam's interest in politics was fostered by James Hoy, the MP for Leith and Parliamentary Secretary at the Ministry of Agriculture in the Wilson government of 1964-1970, who spotted him as a likely young talent.
In 1968 the old guard on Edinburgh City Council was virtually wiped out in the elections of that disastrous year in the life of the Wilson government. The result was that a number of "bright young things" were selected as candidates, Robin Cook, George Foulkes, Jim Boyack and McWilliam among them. Foulkes, now Lord Foulkes, told me, "John McWilliam was one of the young turks who changed the face of Edinburgh. He was more proud of being the first Labour City Treasurer than anything else he did in life."
As one of McWilliam's mentors, councillor Mrs Annie Simpson, put it to me, John deserved to be a candidate for the Liberton ward where he was elected. He was also a rising figure in the Edinburgh trades council, which these days is not an organisation that matters greatly but was a very important body indeed. In 1973-74, Edinburgh council was in turmoil with antagonism between those who had been selected as regional councillors for the Lothian region and those who remained as district councillors and wanted more powers for the districts.
Jack Kane, leader of the Labour group, was a prospective regional councillor and therefore suggested that power be given to his No. 2, the City Treasurer, the young John McWilliam, who was not standing because he was earmarked for the House of Commons. In the words of the distinguished Lord Provost of Edinburgh, Eric Milligan, himself a young councillor at the time, "in the last year of the existence of Edinburgh corporation in 1974-75 John McWilliam was perceived to be neutral in the future region and the future district and it is no exaggeration to say that he ran Scotland's capital city. He had the reputation, deserved, of playing everything by the book and was a straight as a die".
In the February 1974 general election, Labour thought they had a real chance of winning the Pentlands constituency, and selected McWilliam as the candidate. In the event he was beaten by another young man by the name of Malcolm Rifkind by 18,162 votes to 13,560, with the Liberal Ross Smith taking 6,870 – and, crucially, T.T. Forest for the Scottish nationalists taking 5,491. In the opinion of Eric Milligan, voters in the huge Wester Hailes area had deserted Labour for the SNP.
McWilliam did not contest the seat in October 1974 and was soon chosen to succeed Bob Woof in the Durham constancy of Blaydon. His agent Frank Earl (1998-2005) told me that Tyneside had a close affinity with the Scots and McWilliam, always available to constituents who had problems, never had any difficulty in being an outsider.
In the difficult years for the Labour Party from 1984 to 1987, McWilliam was in the whips' office and then became a deputy whip. He was made Deputy Shadow Leader of the House by Michael Foot, while Neil Kinnock asked him to be a key member of the Opposition whips' office. All of us who had dealings with him respected his blunt speaking and sensible judgement. He would come and go with those MPs whom he thought were basically loyal and hard-working; he could be extremely caustic to those whom he thought were on ego trips to the detriment of the Labour Party.
In 1987 he was appointed to the Speaker's Panel of Chairmen. As one who served on many committees he chaired I can say that he was superb at making his colleagues stick to the point and not wander off into irrelevant argument. He had contempt for those who, as he put it, constantly engaged in verbal diarrhoea. Throughout his parliamentary career he had an eye for detail, fact and proper procedure that came from his disciplined engineering background.
Truth to tell he had two turbulent marriages, but in 1998 he found great happiness when he married Helena Lovegreen. After he retired in 2005 he returned to Scotland and lived in one of the most beautiful places in the United Kingdom, Comrie in Perthshire. Only those who have taken the low road from Leith to Comrie can fully comprehend its spring and autumn glory. The place of his retirement synchronised beautifully with one of his passions – fly fishing.

Single family homebuilder confidence was up six points, to 57, in the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI) for July 2013. It's the third month in a row with a builders confidence increase. The index is now at its highest level since January 2006.
"Today's report is particularly encouraging in that it shows improvement in builder confidence across every region as well as solid gains in current sales conditions, traffic of prospective buyers and sales expectations for the next six months," noted NAHB Chairman Rick Judson, a home builder from Charlotte, NC.
He added, however, that "This positive momentum could be disrupted by threats on the policy side, particularly with regard to the mortgage interest deduction and federal support for the housing finance system."
"Builders are seeing more motivated buyers coming through their doors as the inventory of existing homes for sale continues to tighten," noted NAHB Chief Economist David Crowe. "Meanwhile, as the infrastructure that supplies home building returns, some previously skyrocketing building material costs have begun to soften."
All three HMI components showed July gains.
The component gauging current sales conditions was up five points to 60, to reach its highest level since early 2006.
The component gauging sales expectations for the next six months was up seven points to 67, reaching its highest level since late-2005.
The component gauging traffic of prospective buyers was up five points to 45--also reaching its highest level since late-2005.

Liberals Withdraw From Egypt's Constitutional Assembly
Egypt's new Islamist-dominated parliament voted on Saturday to choose members for a body that will draft a new constitution that could decide which branch of the state will rule the Arab world's most populated state for years to come following the downfall of Hosni Mubarak's autocracy a year ago. However, liberal and leftist MPs withdrew, protesting that the nation's diversity would not be properly represented. The constitution will define the balance of power between parliament and president, the role of Islamic sharia law in statute and society, and the political role of the military - in power since Mubarak's removal. The Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), which controls most seats in both chambers of the parliament, said it aimed for an all-embracing constituent assembly.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) - So you just won the $550 million Powerball jackpot, the second highest in lottery history. Now what?
Perhaps it's time for a tropical vacation or a new car. There are bills to pay, loans to settle, debts to square.
Past winners of mega-lottery drawings and financial planners have some more sound advice: Stick to a budget, invest wisely, learn to say no and be prepared to lose friends while riding an emotional roller-coaster of joy, anxiety, guilt and distrust.
"I had to adapt to this new life, "said Sandra Hayes, 52, a former child services social worker who split a $224 million Powerball jackpot with a dozen co-workers in 2006, collecting a lump sum she said was in excess of $6 million after taxes. "I had to endure the greed and the need that people have, trying to get you to release your money to them. That caused a lot of emotional pain. These are people who you've loved deep down, and they're turning into vampires trying to suck the life out of me."
The single mother kept her job with the state of Missouri for another month and immediately used her winnings to pay off an estimated $100,000 in student loans and a $70,000 mortgage. She spent a week in Hawaii and bought a new Lexus, but six years later still shops at discount stores and lives on a fixed income - albeit, at a higher monthly allowance than when she brought home paychecks of less than $500 a week.
"I know a lot of people who won the lottery and are broke today," she said. "If you're not disciplined, you will go broke. I don't care how much money you have."
Lottery agencies are keen to show off beaming prize-winners hugging oversize checks at celebratory news conferences, but the tales of big lottery winners who wind up in financial ruin, despair or both are increasingly common.
There's the two-time New Jersey lottery winner who squandered her $5.4 million fortune. A West Virginia man who won $315 million a decade ago on Christmas later said the windfall was to blame for his granddaughter's fatal drug overdose, his divorce, hundreds of lawsuits and an absence of true friends.
The National Endowment for Financial Education cautions those who receive a financial windfall - whether from lottery winnings, divorce settlements, cashed-out stock options or family inheritances - to plan for their psychological needs as well as their financial strategies. The Denver-based nonprofit estimates that as many as 70 percent of people who land sudden windfalls lose that money within several years.
"Being able to manage your emotions before you do anything sudden is one of the biggest things," said endowment spokesman Paul Golden. "If you've never had the comfort of financial security before, if you were really eking out a living from paycheck to paycheck, if you've never managed money before, it can be really confusing. There's this false belief that no matter what you do, you're never going to worry about money again."
David Gehle, who spent 20 years at a Nebraska meatpacking plant before he and seven ConAgra Foods co-workers won a $365 million Powerball jackpot in 2006, used some of his winnings to visit Australia, New Guinea and Vietnam. He left ConAgra three weeks after he won, and now spends his time woodworking and playing racquetball, tennis and golf.
But most of his winnings are invested, and the 59-year-old still lives in his native Lincoln. He waited for several years before buying a $450,000 home in a tidy neighborhood on the southern edge of town.
"My roots are in Nebraska, and I'm not all that much different now than I was before," Gehle said. "I'm pretty normal. I never was the kind of guy who went for big, expensive cars or anything like that. I just want something that runs."
In the first year after he won, Michael Terpstra would awaken many nights in a panic. Had he slept in? Was he late to work the night shift?
"At times I'd wake up and this would all seem like a dream," the 54-year-old said. "I'd have to walk around the house and tell myself, I did win. I'm not working anymore, and I do live here. I didn't get drunk, break into someone's house and go to sleep. This is where I'm supposed to be."
His new home is a roomy, two-story house in south Lincoln with a big-screen television and paintings of Jesus on the walls. He no longer uses alarm clocks and spends his days taking his 92-pound black lab, Rocco, on walks.
He was terrified when he first won, convinced that he would lose all of the money and have to return to work. So he lives carefully off the interest from conservative investments, with help from accountants and lawyers. He bought the new house and a truck, but struggles to name any extravagant purchases.
"I can't buy a super yacht. I can't buy a Gulfstream," he said. "Then again, I don't think I'd use either one, so why would I buy one?"
That said, some mega-winners still can't resist the lure of big jackpots, at least not the two-buck chances. On Tuesday, former ConAgra worker Dung Tran, a Vietnamese immigrant, walked into the same Lincoln U-Stop where he purchased the winning ticket six years ago and bought 22 more from the very employee who sold him the first prize-winner, said cashier Janice Mitzner.
"We joked about it," she said. "I told him, 'Wouldn't it be something if you won again?'"
Hayes is also hoping to strike rich again - she bought 10 tickets at a Dirt Cheap liquor store on her way home Tuesday while speaking with an Associated Press reporter. Unlike many big winners, she has kept a visible public profile instead of going underground, appearing on a 2007 reality TV show ("Million Dollar Christmas"), writing an online Life After the Lottery blog and self-publishing a short book, "How Winning the Lottery Changed My Life."
"We have this drawing tomorrow, and if somebody wins, God bless them," she said. "They're going to need those blessings."

Rake Tasks, Arguments and Default Values
I had a discussion with a coworker today where he openly asked if rake tasks can take arguments… and if they can, can the task's arguments have default values set.
Passing defaulted arguments to a rake task is actually super easy and I can definitely empathize with people who ask have no idea this is possible. If you look over a typical unparameterized rake file the DSL looks SORTA like methods but sorta not and it can be a little confusing. This post aims to serve as an example of how to pass arguments to your rake tasks and more importantly, how to set default values.
Here's an example rake task with sole purpose of yelling your arguments into your face:
namespace :arg_yellifier do desc 'Yells your argument directly into your face' task :yell, [:phrase] do |t, args| args.with_defaults(phrase: "don't tell anyone but... yolo") puts args[:phrase].upcase + '!' end end
The way you call :yell is like this:
➜ projects rake arg_yellifier:yell[quietness] QUIETNESS!
As you can see, this task takes in an argument called `:phrase` that is set to the value of "quietness" then uppercases it and finally adds a bang to the end.
When you use a block in conjunction with `task` it exposes two variables. The first, which I've called `t`, is the task object and the second, `args` is set of arguments passed in by the user. For this rake task args has one item named `:phrase` and it can be accessed via `args.phrase` or `args[:phrase]`.
The interesting thing here is that `args` is not some kind of hybrid hash. It's actually an instance of the Rake::TaskArguments class. This is awesome because we can call methods on it such as `with_defaults`. `with_defaults` simply takes a list of key: value pairs where the key is the arg name and the value is it's default value.
Check it out in action:
➜ projects rake arg_yellifier:yell DON'T TELL ANYONE BUT... YOLO!
Dear Users of zsh:
If you're calling rake tasks with arguments and have problems running rake tasks with arguments… such as..
➜ projects rake arg_yellifier:yell[quietness] zsh: no matches found: arg_yellifier:yell[quietness]
You need to escape the `[` and `]` like this:
➜ projects rake arg_yellifier:yell\[muhahahah\] MUHAHAHAH!
Getting the pg Gem Installed with Postgres.app
I use Postgres.app to run a local Postgres server while doing development work and it's great. Postgres.app basically provides a completely contained pg server that's ready to go out of the box — just launch the app and you're good to go.
Unfortunately because it's a self contained app things are installed in non-standard places.
More specifically, while installing the `pg` gem on a system I recently had it fail with this error: Continue reading
Ruby's % Notation
For some reason my brain has defected and has chosen a life of NEVER being able to recall basically anything related to Ruby's % notation. After seeing this list on a recent Arkency blog post (an awesome blog) I've decided to
steal repost it here for my own personal reference.
%q[ ] # Non-interpolated String (except for \\ \[ and \]) %Q[ ] # Interpolated String (default) %r[ ] # Interpolated Regexp (flags can appear after the closing delimiter) %i[ ] # Non-interpolated Array of symbols, separated by whitespace %I[ ] # Interpolated Array of symbols, separated by whitespace %w[ ] # Non-interpolated Array of words, separated by whitespace %W[ ] # Interpolated Array of words, separated by whitespace %x[ ] # Interpolated shell command
Git: Rename Author / Committer Across All Commits
Sometimes you accidentally commit code under the wrong author or committer credentials. This has happened to me a few times while writing code from computers with global git settings. By using `git filter-branch` it is possible to rewrite history… muhahahah!
This snippet will run through your branch's historical commits and rename the author and committer attributes.
It basically looks for all commits containing a given `$OLD_EMAIL` and resets the following properties:
The code:
This code is an updated version of the "nuclear option" code provided in the ProGit book.
Finally just push:
git push --force --tags origin 'refs/heads/*'
Who Said That One Violent Psychopath Quote?
There's an amazing quote I see floating around the Internet sometimes…
"Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live"
The quote is sometimes mistakenly credited to Martin Golding in 1994.
The reality is that in 1991 John F. Woods authored it in a post to the comp.lang.c++ newsgroup. The body of his message follows:
>Mark>I was wondering why it seems that the comma operator is so rarely used.
>Mark>The only time I ever see it is in 'for' loops. Is it really considered
>Mark>*that* bad by the programming public at large? Any comments?
>Rob>Well, I hadn't seen it used much either outside of the for loop, but
>Rob>in Plaugher's latest book I discovered quite a few of the following
>Rob> if (condition)
>Rob> var = value, anothervar = anothervalue;
>Rob>This does away with the need for braces. I am tempted to use this myself
>Rob>unless someone has a good point agains using this style. Opinions anyone?
>Consider this:
> if (condition)
> var = value; anothervar = anothervalue;
>Only one little dot is changed, but the meaning is quite different. In other
>words, using the comma operator like that makes it harder to read:
Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a
violent psychopath who knows where you live. Code for readability.
Amazingly, thanks to Google's mirror of the comp.lang.c++ newsgroup, you can actually view John F. Woods' post.
Git: Amend
Have you ever had this happen to you?
- You finish writing some awesome code. You're a bad ass and you know it.
- You hit the command line, because you stopped creating GUI interfaces using visual basic a long time ago.
- Issue a little "git add" here and there, add some broth, a potato. Baby, you've got a stew going… So you commit!
- You do the habitual post-commit "git status" for no good reason and there it is, the file you friggen forgot to add to the commit you already committed to.
Fortunately git has a really convenient way to amend to your last commit! Just simply stage the file(s) you missed and run:
git commit --amend

RSpec/Rails Cheatsheet
Lately I've been writing a TON of tests using RSpec and Capybara. The syntax keeps slipping my mind so here's a cheat sheet I keep coming back to…
Hartl's Description of a Database Index
Today at AppAcademy we have gone through almost all of Michael Hartl's rails tutorial. I just wanted to quote Hartl explanation of what a database index is and how it works. I love the analogy because it's probably the most simplistic examples I've probably ever seen:
Putting an index on the email column fixes the problem. To understand a database index, it's helpful to consider the analogy of a book index. In a book, to find all the occurrences of a given string, say "foobar", you would have to scan each page for "foobar". With a book index, on the other hand, you can just look up "foobar" in the index to see all the pages containing "foobar". A database index works essentially the same way.

Coast newspaper sues DMR, Pickering over records request
Published: August 27,2013
Tags: Bill Walker, Hinds County Chancery Court, media, Mississippi Department of Marine Resources, newspaper, open record, record request, Stacey Pickering, state agency, Sun Herald
GULFPORT — A Gulf Coast newspaper has sued the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources and state Auditor Stacey Pickering to get access to more records from an audit of the agency.
The Sun Herald reports that it filed suit yesterday in Harrison County Chancery Court, seeking to require the MDMR and Pickering to make the records available for review and copying.
The Sun Herald requested records of the MDMR's Katrina Relief account in November and its Artificial Reef account in late December. The MDMR says it is unable to provide them to the newspaper because the auditor's office took the original documents.
There are ongoing state and federal investigations into MDMR's business affairs. Questions about the mismanagement of MDMR led to the firing of executive director Bill Walker in January.

You Cannot Pay With Words
My story is about a leader maintaining a double life for decades and then demanding to pay for his deeds with words and tears. He is outwardly sorrowful that his words and favor are no longer valid currency. My parents were regional and state leaders in the homeschooling movement for years before we joined the […]
ATI Failed Me
Life was normal before ATI. Better than normal, in fact. I was homeschooled, sure, and there was some resulting friction with extended family who didn't agree with that choice, but for the most part my childhood was happy. I had friends in the neighborhood, made forts in the woods, rode bikes, sledded, skated, played with […]
The Principle of Self-Doubt
I have been reading articles on Recovering Grace for a couple of years now, and the testimonies of others have been powerful tools for personal healing and for re-evaluating the way I think about life. One of the more common themes that I have seen in the comments on Recovering Grace articles is that people […]
Living by Principles
If you died with the Messiah to the elemental forces of this world, why do you live as if you still belonged to the world? Why do you submit to regulations: "Don't handle, don't taste, don't touch"? All these regulations refer to what is destroyed by being used up; they are commands and doctrines of […]
