SQL database server MySQL is the most popular Open Source SQL database on the internet. MySQL is a relational database management system. A relational database stores data in separate tables rather than putting all the data in one big storeroom. This adds speed and flexibility. The tables are linked by defined relations making it possible to combine data from several tables on request. The SQL part of "MySQL" stands for "Structured Query Language" - the most common standardized language used to access databases. MySQL is very fast, reliable, and easy to use. If that is what you are looking for, you should give it a try. Copyright Snapfiles.com

Posted Thursday, June 7, 2012 --- 7:35 a.m.
TOWN OF MOSEL, Wis. (AP) -- A man biking in Sheboygan County is struck and killed by a motorist.
The sheriff's department says the 48-year-old man was hit in Town of Mosel Wednesday about 7 p.m. Investigators say the driver of the car is a 67-year-old man from Sheboygan.
WLUK-TV (http://bit.ly/L4OsmX ) says the bicyclist was rushed to a local hospital, but later died of his injuries.
The crash is being investigated by the Sheboygan County Sheriff's Department and Wisconsin State Patrol.

Izze Sparkling Juice is an all natural flavored juice beverage, made from pure fruit juice (from concentrate) and sparkling water. In fact, it contains 70% fruit juice according to the information on the bottle. Various flavors can usually be seen front and center at Starbucks, and so recently, I decided to try the Sparkling Grapefruit flavor instead of getting my usual coffee fix.
Clearly something that is 70% fruit juice is going to have quite a bit of sugar, and a 12 ounce bottle of Izze Sparkling Grapefruit provides 120 calories from 29 grams of sugars ... which is about on par with 70% of a 1 cup serving of Simply Grapefruit Juice for example.
The ingredients label reads, pure juice made from apple, white grape, orange and graprefruit juice concentrates, sparkling water, citric acid, natural flavor, gum arabic, red radish juice (color).

Thingamababy: Deconstructing a Star Wars AT-AT Imperial Walker Baby Stroller
Thingamababy explains the origin of this photo of a babystroller turned Imperial AT-AT, taken at Star Wars Celebration IV, which has become the envy of geek dads everywhere.
Slashfood: Nerd Energy Drink
I'm not sure how healthy it is, but Slashfood has a post up about a new energy drink called "Nerd". Could be just the thing for those geek dads trying to stay awake after a long night with a crying baby. Me? I think I'll just stick with my caffeinated duo of Cosmic Cup coffee and Mountain Dew.
AP: Fathers and Kids Bond Playing Video Games
Shocking news everyone: Dads like to play video games with their kids!
This AP story quotes a survey from last year showing that 35% of parents play video games, and that 80% of those game with their kids. Even more shockingly, both dads and moms are gaming. Moms? Gaming? Are you crazy?
I know, I shouldn't be so hard on them -- the mainstream takes a while to catch on to these simple facts. I expect that the percentage of parents (and grandparents) playing games with their kids will only rise with the release of family-friendly gaming systems like the Wii.
The First Step
Luke took his first tentative step yesterday and naturally (Luke being Luke) he did it on the concrete porch outback. 'Cause you know, that way he can maximize the chance of really hurting himself. He immediately sat back down again, and crawled to his destination, but he definitely took a step.
Of course, everyone says not to compare your kids to each other, but walking -- like talking -- is one of those milestones you can't help but compare. Jordan started walking three days before her first birthday, and it seems like Luke's following a similar trajectory, given that his first birthday is June 14.
CNN: Making Less Than Dad Did
Articles like this one piss me off. Men have been hammered for years about not taking an active role in their families, about putting job above family, and all the standard guilt trips that could take you to the Moon and back if only you could clock the frequent flyer miles.
The thing is, guilt trips aren't needed -- in my experience, Gen X dads generally want to spend time with their families, and make job decisions that reflect that. Unsurprisingly, those choices effect their yearly income. So when this story -- which is about the decline in median male income from $40,000 in 1974 to $35,000 in 2004, I just to scream.
Putting together a Summer 2007 Reading List
I've got two vacations lined up for Summer 2007 -- one short, one long -- and hopefully a few lazy weekends I can spend ready books on the back porch or down the shore.
As a result, I've slowly started to compile my summer reading list, and I'm looking for suggestions from readers, as well as comments on what you'll be reading at the beach this summer.
Here's what I have so far:
Installing Ubuntu Linux on a G3 iMac
I love it when a geeky plan comes together. A few weeks ago I heard a story on the Geek Acres podcast about a grade school teacher who installed Ubuntu Linux on a bunch of iMacs that had been donated to his school. I have a lime-green G3 iMac at home that's been running Mac OS X 10.3 … but is just crying out for experimentation.
HeroPress: Six of the Best with Ken Newquist
HeroPress -- a blog that describes itself as "a celebration of all things geek" -- has an interview with me as part of its ongoing "Six of the Best" series.
Life with Luke: 11 Months
It's been months since I last wrote about my son Luke, and what an eventful couple of months it's been! Luke learned to crawl at around 6 months and started pulling himself up shortly there after. Now, at 11 months, he's starting to "bridge", moving from one item to another in a precursor to walking. Along with this new-found mobility has come a desire to explore everything … which means we've had to start baby proofing in earnest.
"Be Patient: I'm Still Working My Way Up to First Level"
It's hard to find good geeky clothes for babies -- oh, I was able to get a "newbie" onsie for Luke just before he was born, and they do have a few other shirts of note, but it's telling that they lump their dog clothing in with their kid stuff.
Aside from that, it's mostly an vast, unending forest of pastel dinosaurs, teddy bears, butterflies and assorted too-cute animals. If you're lucky you might find a good astronaut or rocket outfit, but those are the exceptions.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Richmond leaders are launching an initiative to increase breastfeeding in an effort to improve urban babies' and mothers' well-being and reduce public health costs.
Mayor Dwight Jones has formed a commission made up of health care, business and government leaders, as well as breastfeeding advocates, to encourage new mothers to breastfeed. The panel aims to formulate an initial strategic plan by December.
Commission member Lisa Akers, the Virginia Department of Health's breastfeeding coordinator, says Richmond has very low breastfeeding rates, particularly among low-income and black women. The goal of the initiative is to encourage one out of four Richmond mothers to exclusively nurse their babies for at least six months rather than use infant formula.
Breastfeeding reduces the risk of infant mortality and childhood obesity and illness.

To Bear The Brunt Of Many Blades Lyrics - Shai Hulud
Nothing that breathes is above betrayal.
Nothing that breathes is divine.
Out from the shadows, well-wisher.
The gleam of your blade gives you away.
Drawn from me, my smiling assassin,
Meet the blood that moved you-
The blood of encouragement
Spilling as common water.
They will serve you...
Long live the king.
Soak up to your arms in his blood.
Long live the king;
They will serve you well.
And you loyal friend, leave an ice pick in my neck as it were mine to keep.
How terribly cold.
I breathe, and count my shallow breaths.
Add another edge: Be sure to twist the blade.
If come one, come all of this,
A celebration of treachery and scissored flesh.
Fall in, stain your steel in festive red-
Here, where the sheep are butchers.
A fresh patch of skin to pierce,
One cannot resist.
Unsteady steps.
Each waning, determined for purchase.
I am he who falters, stricken with one thousand blades.
With unsteady steps, I find my balance in deception.
Step by burning step.
Warm in the presence of malice.
Barefoot among a skulk of men.
Eyes ahead and taller still,
I never look back.
I knew not your names.
I knew your numbers.
I knew you all too well.
Two blades for every inch of flesh.
This is that which did not kill me.
There's always room for one more blade...
Not much a sight for sore eyes,
The harrowed form of living will:
And black,
And so terribly cold.
There's always strength for one last breath.

November 28, 2014
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A man has been arrested for investigation of driving under the influence after he crashed a Bentley convertible registered to Los Angeles Lakers forward Jordan Hill into a condominium complex.
City News Service says 26-year-old Michael Lacey was arrested for the crash that occurred shortly before 2 a.m. Saturday in Marina del Rey.
Hill was not driving the luxury car that crashed into the condo complex where the player lives. Lacey and a female passenger weren't badly hurt.
Officers followed a trail of blood from the car to an elevator that led to Hill's residence. Investigators questioned Hill about the crash, but he denied being at the wheel.
The crash is under investigation.

"No, he's never met a nice South African
And that's not bloody surprising, mun!
'cause we're a bunch of arrogant bastards,
Who hate black people."Apartheid, noun - literally, 'apart-ness'. Refers to South Africa from 1948 to 1994, which at the time of its dissolution was the most visible nation-state in the modern world to have 'Scientific Racialist' policies, with a government predicated on protecting and providing for a single 'race' of citizens - her ethnically European citizens, who composed between 15 and 20% of the population. This was in spite of the fact that 'race' as an anthropological theory had long since been dis-proven by 1948, not to mention universally condemned as a popular theory thanks to the millions of people who died in genocides, assorted massacres, and famines implemented and/or allowed to happen by the racialist regimes of Germany and Japan during World War II. It's also worth noting that Apartheid was made possible by South Africa's status as a minority-rule democracy. European citizens (who were becoming increasingly paranoid about the rest of the country's population) could vote in fair/semi-fair elections; 'coloured' citizens' had some token-representation got slightly stronger over time and for a while even the 'black' population had a couple of token representatives amongst several dozen other members of the Parliament. But the Apartheid government was not a true democracy even for 'white' (pale-skinned, typically ethnically European) people; activists and journalists of all races who criticised the regime were harassed, imprisoned, exiled or even killed.
—Spitting Image, "I've Never Met a Nice South African"
—(because apparently ethnic bigotry is funny if you have the right target)
"How We Got Here": Some Background notes on South Africa and the leadup to Apartheid
In many ways, this apparent irony in how Apartheid came about (occurring after the second world war that so discredited racism on that scale, in a well-established and genuinely free but highly insular democracy) also helps explain why it happened. South African democracy draws its' roots to the sort of small, insular "settler" communities of British and Dutch/Boer/Afrikaaner colonists that settled along the Cape. Since they lived in fear and hostility with many outsiders (Black as well as White; conflict in the Cape was furious and frequent) they tended to structure governments tailored to keep power for them. So after the Boers and later the British finished conquering their ways up and assimilating all others, the British adopted and institutionalized these basic models into a compromise to try and calm the mutually hostile white populations in its' colony. What they settled on was primarily based on the British model, but with substantial privileges and concessions to the Afrikaaners, on the basis of fairly broad broad universal rights, and in particular suffrage to free Whites. Unfortunately, this meant the many Black populations that made up the majority of the colony *didn't* get suffrage. So in effect, participation in South Africa's democratic tradition was limited exclusively to a small minority of whites, and Blacks who wished their voices to be heard had to hope for a sympathetic government. note The British had very good reason to fear dissent from the white communities in South Africa; they had originally taken the colony by force in the Napoleonic Wars and fought several wars to consolidate their power, with some of the most stalwart resistance coming from the Boers note . The Boers were fiercely independent (and borderline xenophobic) descendants of the Dutch colonists in the Cape who objected to both British rule and having almost anything to do with "Blacks." The British government had spent two bloody and embarrassing wars putting them down and even afterwards keeping the peace (in their eyes) largely depended on working with Afrikaaner/Boer moderates. So to the British colonial government, massaging Afrikaaner sympathies by keeping the Black majority disenfranchised was a minor price to pay, especially since the British were usually racist themselves and the wars they had with the various Black peoples had not been anywhere near as troublesome for them as the Boer Wars. And for the most part, this arrangement worked well for what it was intended to do, but it failed to pacify some Afrikaaner radicals who kept up the fight, and who largely were attracted to Germany for all kinds of reasons note . The hardliners took advantage of the outbreak of World War One to try and invade the colony from neighboring German Namibia, but were defeated while Namibia was annexed to South Africa. However, the South African colonial authorities dealt with the German presence much like the British had dealt with the Boers before them (annexing them into the white elite and sidelining the Blacks), and the underlying grievances remained. So in World War II a new generation of Afrikaaner radicals also sympathized with Germany and joined a conspiracy to try and cause a pro-Nazi revolt. This is notable not for the conspiracy itself- which more or less didn't go anywhere- but because after the war the people who were involved in it formed the National Party. At the time, South Africa was governed by Jan Smuts' moderate government, who defended the existing segregation but argued that it would have to be dismantled in the future. D.F. Malan's victory in the 1948 election is generally considered to be the start of the Apartheid era. It should be noted that Smuts would have won if the voting system hadn't been so biased towards rural areas. So in effect, most of the leaders of Apartheid were disgruntled Nazi sympathizers who were elected into power and decided to put into effect some of the disgraced ideology of their idol. Unsurprisingly, it went downhill from there.During this time legalized ethnic segregation occurred and South African 'blacks' and 'coloureds' note were not considered 'true' citizens as were the country's 'whites' (who were/are mainly ethnic-English and -Dutch/'Afrikaners' - the latter being Dutch/Afrikaans for "Africans"). Instead, the South African government tried to confine the 'blacks' in particular to the countryside and gave as many of them as possible citizenship of one of ten "native homelands". Six of these were provinces of South Africa itself, and while the other four were nominally independent microstates they were still totally reliant on South Africa (which surrounded them) to survive. The initial ethnic cleansing and consequent 'apartness'/'apartheid' was officially done as part of a process of "de-colonisation" so that the native peoples of South Africa would be 'free to pursue their own path, free from patronage and protection of their European former-overlords'. In practice, the "homelands" (a.k.a. "Bantustans") were poverty-ridden hell-holes - completely devoid of healthcare or education or infrastructure - that served as sources cheap labor for South Africa's mines. Making things a tad more complex in this Cold War era, the largest anti-apartheid group ANC (African National Congress, the party that Nelson Mandela belonged to) were openly allied with Marxists. This worked against them, as the white South Africans were so vehemently anti-Communist the anti-apartheid movement could get little support, at least not from the West (USSR was more than willing to provide military training and weapons, however). Meanwhile, the U.S., UK and Israel supported the white apartheid government, mainly because they weren't Dirty Commies. South Africa engaged in a number of border wars at this time, basically involving frequent cross-border raids into (Communist) Angola and Mozambique. It also fought and lost a war to keep hold of Namibia. Since this was the Cold War, anti-West independence movements were assisted throughout Africa by countries such as the USSR and Cuba. It was assisted in this endeavor by various anti-Communist, pro-West independence movements, notably UNITA. Within South Africa, political opponents could be "banned" — barred from communicating with more than one person at any one time when not at home, from visiting certain areas and from having anything they said quoted in the media (a legal measure which is still on the books today). Indefinite detention without charge or trial was allowed for those suspected of "terrorism" — defined so broadly, like "communism", that it meant "whatever the government says". Up to 1993, South Africa had the greatest percentage of its own population in prison globally, when it was surpassed by... the U.S. (on account of mandatory minimum sentencing laws for drug offenses). Hundreds of people were tortured in jail and killed with explanations such as "fell down the stairs" — The Coroner Doth Protest Too Much indeed, to the point of public inquests backing such findings. Additionally, the security and intelligence services assassinated numerous people outright, both in South Africa and abroad, usually making use of 'care packages', better known as a bomb in the mail (care packages ... they take care of you). Prominent exiled dissident Ruth First was murdered in this manner. The shift from non-violence to violence is thought of as beginning in 1960 with the Sharpeville Massacre, when frightened police (including black officers) fired on an unruly protesting crowd throwing stones, killing dozens, most shot in the back while fleeing. It went downhill in the aftermath, with armed resistance and terrorism beginning. There is a lot of debate over who exactly is responsible for ending apartheid, especially in the post-apartheid era where anti-apartheid activities during the apartheid era is equivalent to ones street cred (and carries a lot of political favor and support). But basically in late 1989 when conservative F.W. de Klerk became president of Apartheid South Africa he announced that he planned to end the discriminatory Apartheid laws, which were successively repealed over the next four years. In 1992 when a referendum was held on whether Apartheid should be continued or not, over two thirds of white South Africans voted to end Apartheid. Of course this referendum is rarely recorded in history. The announcement of F.W. de Klerk in 1990 started a 3-year long discussion/negotiation between the apartheid government and anti-apartheid groups culminated in the election of Nelson Mandela and the African National Congress (ANC) party in 1994. These elections are generally considered to mark the end of Apartheid and their anniversary (27 April) is now a national holiday in South Africa. For their effort to peacefully transition South Africa out of Apartheid, Nelson Mandela and F.W. de Klerk were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993. After the election of the first black president (Mandela), de Klerk stayed on as vice-president until 1996 when he retired from politics. After apartheid ended, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission was created to help address the crimes of past, with perpetrators of crimes (from both the apartheid regime and various dissidents fighting it) given amnesty if they confessed and asked for forgiveness. Apartheid is pronounced "apart-hate" (but only if you over-enunciate it), which may seem appropriate if your primary language is Englishnote . The word's current political meaning was coined in Afrikaans. It exists in Dutch as well, but it had no political connotations in either language before it was used to name the now-infamous government policy. It translates simply as "apart-ness." What is rather ironic about it is that the term was used because the word "segregation" was considered to have too many negative connotations, and "apartheid" was considered a more neutral term for the policy. Although similar policies existed before then, even before the formation of the Union of South Africa (being known as the "Shepstonian System" in the British Empire's Natal Colony, which joined the Union in 1910), it was only officially and nationally entrenched in law in 1948. If you're in America, this is kind of like the difference between state and federal law: before apartheid, some provinces were less segregationist than others, while afterward they no longer had any lawful choice in the matter. Did we mention that, although South Africa was part of the Allies in WW2, some members of the South African government when apartheid was first conceived were Nazi sympathizers? Well, we did now. In the early 1970s, an extreme white supremacist and neo-fascist group, the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging or AWB, meaning Afrikaner Resistance Movement, was formed and in fact clashed with the apartheid government itself, which they felt was too soft. Boycotts South Africa was subjected for much of this period to a large-scale international economic and military boycott from the '60s onwards-the South Africans with Surface-to-Air Missiles developed weapons indigenously with Israeli help (that's right, Israel helped the National Party segregate blacks. Why? Probably so they could get uranium to build their own nukes), including working on a shared nuclear weapons program. The so-called "Vela Incident", an explosion out in the ocean near Antarctica which was picked up by U.S. surveillance satellites, was probably a South African nuclear test. More importantly, however, South Africa suffered from a serious shortage of skilled labornote and foreign investment was decidedly lacklustre-not so much because multinational Mega Corps had any particular moral qualms with the regime (though doing so became increasingly controversial) as the fact that the whole country looked like a powder-keg ready to explode and take all one's investments with it. The situation got so bad that 'Honorary White' Racial Status-with its lack of restrictions upon travel, jobs, and pay-was given to the employees of Taiwanese and Japanese corporations willing to do business with them. South Africa also faced a cultural boycott. South Africa was barred from the Olympics from 1964 to 1992. Going to South Africa to compete would get a sportsperson very bad press. International cricket, a big South African sport, had occurred spottily. There were some "rebel" tours, including two of England players, which resulted in players getting bans as a result. Rugby Union ties with New Zealand remained-when New Zealand toured South Africa in 1976, twenty-five African nations boycotted the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal after the IOC refused to ban New Zealand over the tour. Then in 1981 South Africa toured New Zealand, where the anti-apartheid lobby clashed with rugby fans and caused widespread riots. Artists organized boycotts against performing in South Africa during this period also. It is fair to say the South African government contributed to this situation. The TCCB was perfectly happy to send the England cricket team on tour to SA, until the fateful season where England wished to send Basil D'Olivera, a mixed-race cricketer, as part of the team. South Africa insisted that D'Olivera be subject to apartheid law while in the country and kept separate from the rest of the team, who were all white. This meant he would have had to be treated as a Coloured (mixed race person in South African parlance) for the duration of his stay and have no contact with the team, except when training or playing. England refused this condition as unacceptable. South Africa then banned D'Olivera from entering the country at all. England, refusing to set a precedent that any host country should dictate their team selection, then called off the tour. Ironically D'Olivera was himself a South African, and had left for England to escape his country's pre-existing ban on non-whites playing first class cricket. In terms of media, Equity banned works involving its members from being shown on South African television, which arrived in 1975 (before that, TV was banned as a morally corrupting influence). If you actually went to South Africa to film, you were not going to be popular. On a more informal level in the 1980s, the same thing applied for popular musicians who performed at the infamous Sun City resort in South Africa, as Artists Against Apartheid pointed out in their protest song "Sun City." Interestingly enough, Sun City was in a homeland/reservation, since gambling was illegal in the Republic itself. This cultural boycott occasionally got rather out of hand, as when Paul Simon was criticized for recording his Magnum Opus Graceland in South Africa... entirely with musicians who were black in the first place. Mercenary Legacy With apartheid coming to an end and a new government in place, one of their first actions was to reform (read: get rid of) the then-current standing military, presumably since for decades the military was the iron first of the apartheid government and performed numerous operations (above-board and otherwise; counterinsurgency isn't always pretty) in order to undermine anti-apartheid activities. To be fair, most soldiers were given the option to stay on, but many didn't want to be commanded by Soviet-trained officers they'd been fighting against for all of the Cold War. Most of the soldiers, well-trained with years of active military experience, became Mercenaries (or Military Contractors). Most notably the PMC (Private Military Contractor) Executive Outcomes was founded by former members of the apartheid government and when on to take part in a number of military actions in Africa. Today it is still common for South Africans to be part of NATO-aligned mercenary groups in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, although the increasing age of the apartheid-era generation and the smaller number of new mercenary recruits makes it a dwindling phenomenon. Also, since mercenary companies (and associated activities) are illegal in South Africa, the privatized military-style South African forces you do see these days are called "security companies" now. So, if you ever make any official inquiry, there are no South African mercenaries, but it makes little practical difference.

text: Print article Send a Tip Photo Surfaces of Cop Wearing Unicorn Mask Posing With Porn Star by Jon David Kahn 19 Jul 2013 View Discussion Pittsburgh - An unidentified police officer is facing possible discipline after a picture recently surfaced showing him wearing a unicorn mask while posing with a porn star who had just been thrown out of a Pittsburgh Pirates game for "sexy dancing" in the aisles....while wearing a unicorn mask. City officials said that the adult thespian, Andy San Dimas, was in town last Saturday to dance at a local night club but decided to attend the Pirates/Mets game first, where she was ejected by security for refusing to sit down after she was spotted dancing in a provocative fashion while donning the aforementioned unicorn mask. Shortly thereafter, San Dimas and her friend took a picture with a man wearing a city police sergeant's uniform, and subsequently put it on the Web. The incident is currently under investigation but according to acting Pittsburgh Police Chief Regina McDonald, "at this time [they] have not identified the individual or the circumstances." According to a Pittsburgh Pirate fan, identified only as "Dave," San Dimas described herself to a group of Pirate fans as a "major triple x star" and a member of the "unicorn army," a group whose members "take pictures of themselves wearing the unicorn mask in various places." The newest member of the unicorn army is also a member of the Pittsburgh Police Department.

To evaluate of the medium-term integrity, efficacy, and complication rate associated with the Gunther Tulip vena cava filter.
A retrospective study was performed of 369 consecutive patients who had infrarenal Gunther Tulip inferior vena cava filters placed over a 5-year period. The mean patient age was 61.8 years, and 59 % were men. Venous thromboembolic disease and a contraindication to or complication of anticoagulation were the indications for filter placement in 86 % of patients; 14 % were placed for prophylaxis in patients with a mean of 2.3 risk factors. Follow-up was obtained by review of medical and radiologic records.
Mean clinical follow-up was 780 days. New or recurrent pulmonary embolus occurred in 12 patients (3.3 %). New or recurrent deep-vein thrombosis occurred in 53 patients (14.4 %). There were no symptomatic fractures, migrations, or caval perforations. Imaging follow-up in 287 patients (77.8 %) at a mean of 731 days revealed a single (0.3 %) asymptomatic fracture, migration greater than 2 cm in 36 patients (12.5 %), and no case of embolization. Of 122 patients with CT scans, asymptomatic perforations were identified in 53 patients (43.4 %) at a mean 757 days.
The Gunther Tulip filter was safe and effective at 2-year follow-up. Complication rates were similar to those reported for permanent inferior vena cava filters.

If you don't get the matching woofer/bi-amp/crossover box, yes, you'll have to replace all those components. People sell the panels by themselves for speaker midranges, but you want a complete little speaker system, right? A kind of AKG K1000 that sits on a desk?

hey guys - how comfortable is a, hp-3, or yh-3 or anything similar? they seem to have just a plastic headband?
Hey, somebody just got an HP-2 (kinda raggedy but looks intact) for $26 shipped. Off the Usual Online Auction Site, too. That's pretty amazing. We've had a string of pretty good deals recently, but this HP-2 was a kick.
Don didn't have to break a glue joint on the YH-1000, but if your friend has a small rotary grinder tool and some small clamps...
Someone needs to ship Don + his magic marker over to you, to work his wily magic on them.
Clamping pressure on my YH-3s was insane. I put mine on my Buddha head statue for 3 days and that helped a lot.
i did take the dremel to the HP50, now need to figure out how to reconnect the tab
I feel for your friend, but, unlike the problem with the YH-1000, the YH-100 is pretty reliable. I'd suggest he watch for another YH-100, because any repair is going to be fraught with risk. Don didn't have to break a glue joint on the YH-1000, but if your friend has a small rotary grinder tool and some small clamps...
EDIT: Waidaminnit-- the DR-11 has two dead drivers?

Regional electricity prices failed to take a consistent direction on Tuesday with some curves continuing the bearish trend from Monday and others moving up.
The Polish market saw another burst of activity on Tuesday with monthly products trading as far ahead as August '12. The curve continued the bearish trend picked up on Monday. According to one Polish trader, this was caused by the low balancing market levels. "Until prices on the balancing market increase I don't see any bullishness on the curve," he added.
Another Polish participant noted that low emissions prices and higher temperatures were additionally pressuring the curve. "The only bullish signal may come from the planned outages in week 13 and week 14. (The) 858MW Belchatow (plant) will be out. If weather is warm, the cogeneration (CHP) plants will also stop. This means that the less-effective power plants will have to produce all the power, and this will increase the marginal production cost," he remarked.
Activity on the Czech market was assessed as "regular" as most participants were focused on the April '12 cross-border capacity auctions organised by the Central Allocations Office and published on Tuesday. "Prices outturned in line with the current spreads. There were no big surprises," one Czech trader said.
Hungarian curve prices defied a generally bearish trend, scooping up gains on the front quarter and its monthly component products.
Participants active on the market said the region's hydro generation levels were still below market expectations, boosting prices.
The biggest winners on Tuesday were May '12 Baseload, which was assessed €0.70/MWh above Monday's price and the front-quarter Baseload, which gained a similar amount on the previous session.
The May and June '12 Baseload products were assessed in line with gains on the Q2 Baseload contract which traded in four clips totalling 35MW.
April '12 Baseload last traded at €48.40/MWh, €0.40/MWh on the previous session. Participants said outturns in the April auctions were fractionally above the currently traded levels for the month. But they insisted that the values were being driven by strong fundamentals.
The remaining quarterly products with the exception of Q1 '13 also witnessed a burst of activity on Tuesday. Sources said a handful of larger companies were interested in snapping up the contracts for hedging purposes.
Romanian participants were anticipating robust prices even well into the next week as hydro generation in the country and the wider Balkan region were below the anticipated average. "We were expecting lower prices, but they are still above expectations. There is a lot of snow that hasn't fed into the rivers yet. Once this happens we may see a change," one Romanian trader said.
Serbian prompt and curve prices moved in lockstep with the Hungarian counterparts. Source active in the Balkans said countries such as Serbia and Slovenia were still grappling with hydro shortages.
The Czech spot moved down day on day on warm weather and high solar power production forecasts in Germany. IP/AS

The State of SVG Browser Support + Using Flash for SVG in Internet Explorer<p>As part of the Open Web Advocacy work I've started with Dion and others at Google, one of my goals right now is to help increase awareness and support around doing 2-D/vector graphics on the open web. This includes tools such as the Canvas tag, SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics, an XML markup language for vector graphics), and open source cross-browser drawing toolkits such as Dojo GFX, ExplorerCanvas, and Raphael.
One of the big reasons for this is that 2-D drawing/vector graphics is the top requested feature by double the amount of other feature requests in the recent Open Ajax Alliance Browser Feature Wish List vote-off. As part of this effort I'm doing a bootcamp right now to come up to speed on the latest developments in both Canvas and SVG. I've been using Shelley Powers excellent Painting the Web book to find out the state of vector graphics on the web in 2008. During this education I've run across two interesting things.
First, I wanted to know what the status of SVG support is across the different browsers. I found Jeff Schiller's very complete SVG Test Suite results that are actively kept up to date:
SVG 1.1 became a W3C recommendation on January 13, 2003. Five years later, this page records my results of running various SVG implementations (web browsers and browser plugins) through the official SVG Test Suite. Last updated 2008-06-18.
A screenshot with some of the results:
Things are pretty good with Firefox 3, Safari 3, and the winner, Opera. There is a strong subset of SVG that can be used cross-browser with these. Of course, Internet Explorer is the limiting factor here, with a grand score of 0% for all tests:
This means that for open web vector graphics to be realistic we need some kind of shim for Internet Explorer (Adobe used to have a browser plugin for IE that had very high quality, but its quite large and was end of lifed in 2007). Internet Explorer actually has an earlier vector graphics standard named VML (Vector Markup Language) that can be used to 'trick' it into having 2-D graphics support that is used by a number of open source toolkits. However, VML can run into some performance issues when you start to get into a large number of nodes and animation with the available open source drawing toolkits.
One natural avenue is to emulate SVG or other 2-D graphics on Internet Explorer using Flash. I had always heard about this possibility but recently found a small company actually doing it to good effect. They have not finished yet, but their demo is impressive:
Here we are viewing the source of the SVG being rendered by this Flash:
I emailed the developers to get some more information on this Flash-based renderer and they responded:
Our SVG viewer and editor is not open source. It will be part of the new InputDraw version and with some more features – like draw recognition – will be part of the new Comics Sketch site, so users can create advanced comics strips.
We are part of a small company in Lisbon, Portugal named inEvo that works with a lot of web development, rich interfaces and other areas like computer graphics and artificial intelligence.
While I respect the hard work it took inEvo to create this and their need to charge for it, it looks like using Flash to emulate SVG is a valid approach for Internet Explorer and it would be great to have something similar available open source. Just the basic viewer being available would make sense as open source and would probably even drive more business to them for their higher level tools; it looks like inEvo has created lots of cool things above this that make sense as being commercial-only, such as an SVG editor, drawing recognition, social comics creation and sharing site, etc.

This is only interesting if we can integrate some SVG shapes into an HTML document and make it "javascriptable" as if it was a real SVG node in my DOM tree…
It's quite feasible to use this for large drawings (megabytes of SVG). I've had to build a floorplan viewer a few years back, and ended up converting from autocad dwg to svg on the server-side and rendering the svg in flash client-side. In general the performance was quite reasonable, but the biggest issue I ran across was the mismatch between flash's internal curve support and SVG's arcs. At the time there were only quadratic curves in flash's drawing api, and everything had to be converted to that. Maybe with the new AVM2 engine and improved drawing support this won't be an issue anymore.
Hey Brad–
This is one of the points of the DEFT project I started at Dojo–it aims to take the fine Flash work you started, and I continued, and use it to create a DojoX GFX renderer in Flash so that we can get the hell off VML in IE. Unfortunately I have not had the time to work on it recently but I'm hoping to get back to it in the near future (been working on other things, one of which slipped into DojoX quietly and which I will be talking about in the near future).
Now that IE supports data: urls, I was thinking we could do some kind of unholy canvas implementation in JS, perhaps rendering to bmp format, and thus fill in some of the gaps in the VML implementation. The main thing is: standard interface + IE implementation that doesn't make customers download anything.
I actually wrote a post on my blog on the same subject:
Check it out if you found the post above interesting.
There is of course the Renesis plugin (proprietary but free), which is being quite actively developed — http://www.examotion.com/Renesis-Player.25.0.html
Mobile Safari doesn't support SVG even though it is mentioned in the iPhone Getting Started Videos.
29€ (Flat price) for the inEvo tool is very affordable. Although open source is cool, there is no guarantee of continued development.
My experience is that in small open source projects developers get a better job and stop development
Would you mind contacting me (kurt at oreilly.com). I'm the online editor for XML and Web Development at O'Reilly Media as well as a long time SVG evangelist, and would definitely like to find out more information about your efforts at Google to promote SVG.

Pat's Three Dimensional Paper Snowflake Folding Patterns
Sometimes I think the hardest thing about this section was learning how to spell the word dimensional. It is very easy to make basic 3-D paper ornaments. Pretty much all you have to do is print two like images on card stock, Vellum Bristol or other heavy duty paper, then cut opposite slits in each ornament. It doesn't matter whether the slits are horizontal, diagonal or vertical, just as long as they are opposite each otherto give the proper 3-d effect when the images slide together.
For best results, use thick cardstock paper.
Design your own snow flake three-D ornaments and turn ordinary paper snowflakes into e3xtraordinary 3d ornaments. Liven up your Christmas tree or windows and doorways. Once you learn how to make one 3-D snowflake ornaments, you can make a blizzard of Christmas and winter holiday decorations.
Attach each section to the other with tape, glue or staples until you have a completed 6-sided ornament. Hole punch one end to hang the ornament using yarn, string or christmas ornament fasteners.
How to Make Three Dimensionals Snowflake Ornaments
For these 3-D snow flake pattern you need 6 sheets of 8 1/2"x11" paper cut into exact squares.
Each sheet of paper will create one section, similar to this image, of a 6-sided 3-D ornament.
Start with a square piece of paper. You may use any size of paper as long as all 6 sections are the same size.
Fold the square diagonally along the middle to form a triangle.
Fold this triangle again along the middle into a smaller triangle.
Cut diagonal slits along the single folded side.
Unfold carefully and you will see a pattern of diamonds cut into the paper.
Connect the points by folding matching sides and gluing, stapling or taping them together first set of points to the left, second set of points to the right.

Conan Cracks Unfunny Rand Paul JokeSubmitted by Antelmann22 on Fri, 07/05/2013 - 02:17
On Tonight's(July 4th, originally aired 4/17)Conan, during his monologue, he cracks a Rand Paul joke. Not a peep from the crowd(Wouldn't expect one). I barely understood the joke. I hope someone can help me out. Haha.
Really surprised Conan is even talking about him and surprised it wasn't posted back in April. Guess nobody else watches this show either. Exposure is good, and not one boo from the audience.
- Login to post comments
Here's one better.
Who the fuck is Conan?
I think it had to do with the incorrect position
That the Tea Party has values older than the repeal of Jim Crow laws, given that 1954 was when Brown v. Board of Education happened. These types of blanket statements usually come from people who get everything they need to know about the Tea Party from Aaron Sorkin.
That joke writer should be fired immediately.
Not that it was a bad joke - it was a good joke, wrong audience.
Seriously - the Conan show?
Strike that - fire the teleprompter programmer. It's not that poor writer's fault he wrote a great joke for the wrong show...
Pandacentricism will be our downfall.
You're right...
Not funny... I didn't get it...
Unless he confused Rand with Ron, then the joke would somewhat make sense.
Either way... it's stoopid...

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I have two kids in Rosehill. The school is wonderful! Amazing principal and teachers. Many parents involved in their children's education.
My son attends Rose Hill (4th grade)and I am extremely happy with the school! The principal(Melissa Orlando),the teachers, support staff and parents work together and create such a great, positive environment for the kids. The challenge and resource programs continue to meet the needs of our 'atypical' students seamlessly. Our kids are offered many opportunities outside of academics- choir, instrumental music, fitness club,junior great books, art and language lessons, etc. There are ALWAYS parents at the school volunteering their time. The PTO continues to find ways to help with all the many 'extras' a grat school needs! My son started at another school in Omaha before we moved to Country Club, so I have an idea what's out there-Rose Hill Rocks!

Big news for the beer and wurst fans, just in time for Oktoberfest, Kuby's, the German grocery in Snider Plaza and the heart of the Rhineland in Dallas (go shopping there on a crowded Saturday morning and you can eavesdrop on German conversations), is now open for dinner. Kuby's has been a lunchtime favorite forever; its plates of brats and knackwurst with German potato salad, or deli sandwiches with potato chips and pickles, are inexpensive and, well, filling. And at lunch, you hardly missed the fact that Kuby's was dry. At dinner, the fare will be similar - plus schnitzel, spatzle, frikadellen (that's hamburger, which I thought was a German word), and soon, blessedly, beer.
Kuby's, 6601 Snider Plaza, 363-2231. Open Monday-Saturday 6 a.m. - 5:30 p.m., Sunday brunch 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. Open for dinner Thursday-Friday 6 p.m. - 9 p.m., Saturday 6 p.m. - 10 p.m.

Redeem your voucher at the ticket kiosk in central Amsterdam, and then follow the directions provided to the start point of your first activity. You can choose to do both activities on the same day or on alternate days -- simply let the local operator know your preference when redeeming your voucher.
For your cruise by luxury glass-topped sightseeing boat, make your way to the canal stop near Amsterdam's Central Station. As you glide effortlessly through the city, you'll see countless top Amsterdam attractions like the affluent Golden Bend (Gouden Bocht) neighborhood, the Anne Frank House and the Seven Bridges of Reguliersgracht. Pass the pretty gabled houses that Amsterdam is so well known for, and cruise underneath the Magere Brug, a beautiful bridge commonly known as the Skinny Bridge, while your audio guide will tell you interesting facts and stories.
The second part of your combination ticket is Amsterdam's Xtracold Icebar. Easily the coolest attraction in town, the bar is made completely from ice – with frozen furniture, walls and even glasses! You'll be given special thermal clothing and gloves to wear before you step into the frosty bar with a temperature of 14 degrees Fahrenheit (negative 10 degrees Celsius)! Once inside, spend 30 minutes relaxing at leisure, enjoying either a Smirnoff cocktail or Heineken beer; or take part in a 3D ride experience over icebergs and along steep cliffs in a frozen landscape.


text: Welcome to the Shire of Wickepin The Shire of Wickepin was formed in 1909 as a service centre for broadacre grain and sheep farming in the area. The shire covers an area of 198,900 hectares and includes the towns of Wickepin, Yealering, Harrismith and Tincurrin with a combined population of approximately 720 people. The community has strong sporting and social networks and is a safe and healthy place to live. The Wickepin area has been renowned for its sheep studs since CG Russell founded the Yarling Brook stud in the 1940's. In 2007 the Shire of Wickepin undertook a major extension of the existing Community Centre to enhance economic opportunities for the Shire and provide a state of the art facility for stud breeders to convene field days. The Wickepin Community Centre attracts hundreds of farmers each year to view and purchase rams and is also used frequently for sporting events and functions. Wickepin is also home to the Facey Group, a prominent grower group in Western Australia that aims to improve the profitability and sustainability of broad-acre farming in the Upper Great Southern region of the state. The Facey Group provides the latest information and research to farmers and conducts agricultural trials and demonstrations. The group regularly conducts seminars and training to improve the skills and knowledge of farmers in the Wickepin area. Identifying WW1 Soldiers The Shire of Wickepin would like to identify the following soldiers on the WW1 Honour Board.

Ottawa - Apprenticeship training programs across Canada received 104,280 new registrations and reinstatements in 2012, up 6.8% from 2011, according to the latest survey of registered apprenticeship training programs from Statistics Canada. This marked the highest number of new registrations and reinstatements (individuals who were reinstated in 2012 after a year or more of absence) since the beginning of the economic downturn in 2008.
Total registrations in apprenticeship training programs across Canada increased 4.3% from 2011 to 444,672 in 2012.
New registrations in Red Seal trades were up 6.8%, but the number remained below 2008 levels. New registrations in non-Red Seal trades were up 11.5% from 2011.
In 2012, 56,913 certificates were awarded to both apprentices and trade qualifiers/challengers, up 2.7% from 2011.
Of the total certificates awarded, 41,481 were granted to apprentices who completed their training, up 0.8% from 2011. This annual growth was much lower than the increases registered over the previous two years.
In 2012, certificates awarded to trade qualifiers/challengers increased for the first time since 2008, up 8.2% from the previous year to 15,429.
Less than half (19,701) of the apprentice certificates awarded were Red Seal certificates. For the first time since 2008, the number of apprentice certificates with Red Seal endorsements (-2.6%) declined while the number of certificates for trade qualifiers/challengers with Red Seal endorsement (+5.2%) increased.
Among the top 10 Red Seal trades, the construction electrician trade recorded the largest number of new registrations, up 10.9% from 2011 to 9,714 in 2012, and surpassed the carpenter trade, which was down 13.2% to 7,881. The number of new registrations in the construction electrician trade has increased every year since the end of the economic downturn. The steamfitter/pipefitter trade (+45.7%) posted the largest annual increase in new registrations in 2012, followed by the welder trade (+41.7%), where the number of new registrations exceed those recorded in 2008.
The proportion of females registered in trades has been constantly increasing over the years. In 2012, females accounted for 14.2% of all registrations. The highest number of new registrations for females was in the user support technicians major trade group (4,095), where for the first time, new registrations exceeded those in the hairstylists and estheticians group.
