Office Phone: 704-463-3228
Pfeiffer's Athletic Director/VP for Athletics Bob Reasso has announced the hiring of Tooey Loy as the new women's basketball coach, effective immediately. Loy has 17 years of Division I coaching experience at nearby High Point University and was twice named the Big South Coach of the Year.
"We are delighted to appoint Tooey Loy as our new women's basketball coach," said Reasso. "Tooey brings a great deal of experience as a DI coach to our program and I am sure he will do a great job with our young women."
Loy was the assistant coach from 1994-2001 for the Panthers before being promoted to Head Coach in June 2001. In his 10 year stint at the leader of the High Point women's program, the Panthers never finished lower than fourth place in the conference and won the Big South regular season title in 2007. Loy's 2009 squad became the first Big South team to defeat an SEC opponent as they topped the Florida Gators 75-68 in Gainesville, Fla.
Loy led High Point to its first postseason appearance in 2007 when they took on Charlotte in the Women's NIT. He twice took the program to the Big South Conference finals and coached the Big South Conference Player of the Year in 2006. He was named the Coach of the Year in 2005 and 2007 and finished his career with a 163-135 record, including an 88-56 mark in the Big South.
Tooey also spent four years as a point guard at High Point from 1990-94 where he averaged 8.9 points, 2.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists during his career. In total, Loy spent 21 years at High Point as a player and a coach.
Loy has spent the past two seasons as the top assistant at Young Harris and Queens University and inherits a program that went to the NCAA tournament in the 2012-13 season.
"I would like to thank President Miller, Bob Reasso and the Pfeiffer administration for this incredible opportunity," said Loy. "Pfeiffer has a rich history of basketball success and my staff and current players will start today on building more success. The student athletes, Pfeiffer University and supporters of the University will get my very best."

Sounds like some serious rationalisation going on
If you need some more arguments, if I caught the bus instead of riding, that would cost me $40 x 48 = $1,920 so I would save the money in less than a year
yes but if I don't ride a bike to commute I ride a moto. I already own the moto outright and would either way (it replaced a car) so general running costs of moto are basically nil (ie rego, insurance etc) for this purpose. the only real cost is additional maintenance and fuel which I have worked out costs about $10 a week (for a full week of moto commuting), parking at work is free. so running costs for commuting are less than $500 a year for moto. compare that to bus fares which are in excess of $9 a day and three times longer than moto, or the bike which is free now (EOT facilities at the workplace) and takes the same time as a bus anyway (roundabout route to avoid roads where possible). I prefer the bike when I can ride as I get the side benefits of exercise.
so I suppose in short, yes I can justify the bike on costs and exercise benefits very easily, but I would probably sell some of the stable to fund it (make it cost neutral) and reduce the number of bikes I am just not using at all now.

The story of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III rise to fame, through his dragon-training exploits, told in Hiccup's own words by David Tennant.
Hiccup was a truly extraordinary Viking Hero, Warrior chieftain, awesome sword-fighter and amateur naturalist. He was known throughout Vikingdom as 'the Dragon Whisperer' on account of his power over these terrifying beasts. But it wasn't always like that....
©2004 Cressida Cowell (P)2004 Hodder Children's Books
"Brilliant car-trip entertainment"
We didn't know this book (or indeed the series) and hadn't heard a David Tennant-narrated book before, but the whole family--daughter, 7, son, 9, and parents--gives this two thumbs up. We loved it. We chose it for a long car journey, which as it turned out, was made even longer by a holiday traffic jam, and we really got lucky. The story is funny and involving and the narration is terrific, with great variety in the characterisations and beautiful delivery of the humour. I'm about to buy another in the series to store away for our next car trip, and the kids have since acquired two of Cressida Cowell's books. Highly recommended.
"My Teenagers Like This"
I bought this audio for my 4th grader. He received the book set of the series at Christmas and still hadn't read any of the books. Some of his friends wanted to borrow his books but I told him that he had to read them first. We compromised with my purchasing the audio version.
It took a few times of turning the audio on in the car while we were driving before he would listen to the whole story. He enjoyed the narrator, David Tenant so much that he listened to the whole audio until he was finished at midnight on the day he finally committed to listening.
He begged me for the next book and then my 2 teenage daughters wanted to know what all of the fuss was about. My daughters were laughing out loud while listening to the narrator and enjoyed it so much that they want all of the books in the series on audio.
Before my daughters started listening to the audio they said that they couldn't possibly enjoy a story they weren't reading from a book they had in their hand. David Tenant proved them wrong.
"Wonderfully read!!!!"
I would normally never read or listen to a book that is abridged, but David Tennant does too good a job not to listen to this version. Tennant does such a wide veriety of voices that is it never confusing on who is talking, as it is in some books.
Over all, a great story with a great reader.
"Good performance, but poor levels on the recording"
I enjoyed the story and the reading and the voices. I listened with my 3 year old, and we both liked it. However, it was difficult to follow because the volume levels were so widely varynig. Very loud at the intense moments, and so very quiet at the softer. I kept having to turn the volume up and down according to the situation. Frustrating. Regardless, good story, very different from the movie. Fun voices by narrator.
"Good one"
A very good book. Well narrated. I would recommend this. Thanks to Audible for having this in store
"Excellent kids story 6-13 yrs"
Interesting plot, exciting and funny, excellent delivery - accents included
His use of differing accents and associated attitudes reinforce the flavour of Scotland faithfully
"David Tennant is fantastic!"
You couldn't have found a more perfect narrator for this series. I wish it wasn't abridged, but the story still holds up. My boys really enjoyed it (as did my husband and I).
"Fun story, inspired narration."
It's a fun (although familiar) story of a normal boy who overcomes the odds using his brains. But it contains Vikings and that alone gets it an additional star. My kids loved listening to this, especially the inspired narration of David Tennant.
"Good Story, Disappointing narration"
The story was good, but I was a little disappointed by the reading. I also didn't notice that this one was abridged until after I got it. I chose this version over the other one (which is unabridged) because of the narrator (I'm a Doctor Who fan).
You get 1 hour less content on this abridged version, and you have to deal with a very dynamic range of the narrator. Normally, a dynamic range in reading is good, but the soft parts are too soft (couldn't hear some words while riding in the car), and the loud parts were speaker rattling since we had turned it up to hear the softer parts. Overall, the first 30-40 minutes of the book are very hard to understand.
I enjoyed the overall performance, but I feel like this could have been edited a little better to make it a better listen.
As for the story, I actually liked the movie's version better than this one. My kids ask to listen to this occasionally, but they don't get into it as much since it is so hard to listen to in the car. The difference in the story line doesn't really matter to them, but it is very forgettable and not something they beg to listen to.
"Worth It for David Tennant"
Overall, yes. Would I rather have listened to David Tennant read something more to my tastes? Yes. However, this is what was to-hand. The book itself runs a bit too much to gross humor and I'm not really comfortable with the lack of women in it. The movie actually much improved on the story.
How about some female characters? How about Toothless not being terrifying, rather than the adorable dragon in the film? I also thought the Vikings were pretty hard to sympathize with, and I think I was meant to feel for their plight. If you like gross humor and violence of the sort to appeal to kids, though, have at it.
He was everything to the story for me. I would not have liked this without his narration. He does great accents and brings a lot of emotion and humor into the novel.
Does scouring the internet for David Tennant gifs count?
As much as I loved Tennant's narration, I didn't like it to buy any more of the audiobooks in the series. If they were freely available at my library, yes, but not for money.
"A family favourite"
I cannot recommend these books highly enough. They have made long car journeys with young children fly by as we were all immersed into the viking world of Hiccup and his friends. The narration by David Tennant is remarkable. His voices bring the characters to life with some gorgeous regional accents (the Bog Burglers especially). We bring the ipod in from the car to finish the stories off in the kitchen they are so good.
"How to Train Your Dragon"
The whole family enjoyed it thoroughly. David Tenant's voice is fantastic.
"Not just for kids"
David Tennant does a stellar job bringing the story to life. Even if you are not a kid anymore, Cressida Cowell's tales of Hiccup are so much fun to listen to that it is seriously addictive. Shame though that this is an abridged version.
"Thoroughly enjoyed by the whole family"
The humour, the names of the characters, the David v. Goliath theme, the triumph of the underdog.
All the characters were great. We loved the Sean Connery-esque Stoic the Vast, we loved Gobba the Belch and of course Toothless.
Laugh mostly although I was a bit teary about Toothless at the end.
My three kids (11, 9 and 7 - girls and boys) loved it as did my husband and I. Brilliant.
"A great kids book for the family"
fun, funny, funnier
Hiiccup because he becomes a hero the hard way
This one was every bit as good as all the other Hiccup Horrendous Haddock books he has narrated.
It made me and all the family laugh out loud repeatedly
This is the first of the How to Train Your Dragon series, all are narrated by David Tennant. This is very different to the film, but is an excellent book, very funny, my two boys, 5 & 7 years old have listened to it dozens of times.
"Great fun!"
I purchased this audiobook in advance of our Summer holiday thinking it may keep the kids entertained on our long car journeys. I have listened to it in advance to make sure it is suitable. I am thinking that perhaps my 4 year old is a touch too young for it. Nevertheless, it was great fun to listen to and I found myself giggling alot! David Tennant is a fab narrator and captures the characters really well. Highly recommended!
"Excellent Characterisation, Loud Music"
The charactisation by David Tennant is very good, the story is compelling and I am sure children of all ages will enjoy it. The only problem I had with it is the music in between the chapters / segments is very loud compared to the voice... Other than that I would definitely recommend listening to this book as the characters are really brought to life by David Tennant.
(Also be aware the story in the film is nothing like the story in the book!)
"Charming and funny, brilliantly creative."
Hiccup, because he is a skinny, freckly, thoughtful, kind hero who is always reluctant to be a Hairy Hooligan. (and Toothless of course)
These books are brilliant for boys and girls age 5-15 and their parents! They are just a delight to share.
"Great Fun"
The humour and story
Other books in the series
Have read two of the Dragon books so far, both narrated by David Tennant and both are delightfully presented. Have always admired David's acting skills and he has again struck just the right note, enhancing the humour in the book and interpreting the characters well.
An unexpected hero
Having seen the film, was delighted that the book, although obviously telling a slightly different story, did not disappoint.
I would recommend this book to a friend because
It's the best book ever!!!!!!!
When toothless came back from the dead
When the purple death and the green death fought each other
It made me cry when they said toothless was dead
Cool book read it!!!!!!

15 Great Midwest Winter Weekend Escapes
Black Hills, South Dakota [1]
In the Black Hills, snowmobiles zip through landscapes so jaw-dropping you'd swear you were in one of the great western national parks. Terry Peak is the Midwest's highest downhill ski area, but there are plenty of zippy hills for beginners, too. Or, just head to the woods with a pair of rented cross-country skis, and swoosh through the snow-covered pines.
One snowmobile magnet is the Spearfish Canyon Lodge (spfcanyon.com [2]), a classic log hideaway on the Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway, where guests dine on dishes like butternut squash ravioli but still park sleds outside their rooms. For skiing and snowboarding, Terry Peak (terrypeak.com [3]), about 20 miles south of Spearfish, offers multiple runs and lifts; nearby Ski Mystic (skimystic.com [4]) is known for family-friendly tubing runs and lighted nighttime skiing. More info: Black Hills & Badlands [5]
Parke County, Indiana [8]
You won't find many other visitors in Indiana's covered bridge country when snow begins to fall--and that's the best reason of all to come here in winter. You'll have the picturesque historic bridges practically to yourself, making it easy to imagine you've stepped back in time. Pick up a map at the local visitors center, and make a special trip for the flaky biscuits at the Clabber Girl Museum (clabbergirlmuseum.com [9]) in Terre Haute.
Overnight at the Turkey Run State Park Inn (indianainns.com [10]), which has both a lodge and cabins set in 2,382 acres of woods and sandstone gorges. Or try the country-style Bubble Gum Bed and Breakfast (bubblegumbandb.com [11]) in Rockville, where bubble gum and chocolate are among the treats guests receive at this 1909 home. More info: Parke County Visitors Bureau [12], Montgomery County Visitors and Convention Bureau [13]
Old Mission Peninsula, Michigan [16]
Even if you don't see the workers harvesting frozen Riesling grapes at Chateau Chantal (chateauchantal.com [17]), be sure to try the sweet ice wine the vintners will make from them. In winter, visitors duck in from the cold to sample wines at Old Mission Peninsula's wineries, sipping warm reds and dry whites while watching the sun set over frozen Lake Michigan. More information: Old Mission Peninsula [18]
Door County, Wisconsin [24]
Many people call Door County the Cape Cod of the Midwest, and that's no less true in winter, when snow covers the picturesque northeast Wisconsin peninsula. Shops, galleries and inns stay open for visitors who come for cozy holiday shopping and peaceful walks along frozen Lake Michigan beaches. Don't miss the area's beloved Progressive Dinner, when guests ride in a horse-drawn wagon between different courses at the region's inns. More information: Door County Visitors Bureau [25]
Brainerd, Minnesota [28]
No matter how you like to travel, Brainerd, Minnesota (about 2 hours north of Minneapolis), fills the bill. Go adventurous and try snowboarding at Ski Gull (skigull.com [29]), dog sledding at Cragun's Resort (craguns.com [30]) or cross-country skiing at Northland Arboretum (northlandarb.com [31]) or Boyd Lodge (boydlodge.com [32]). Take it slower and stomp a path through new snow or ski on a frozen pond.
Or, if you'd really rather just stay warm, browse the shops in Nisswa and Pequot Lakes. No matter what you do, also make sure to book a massage at the lovely Glacial Waters Spa (grandviewlodge.com [33]). More information: Brainerd Lakes Chambers of Commerce [34]
Chicago, Illinois [37]
Who needs Rockefeller Center when we have gorgeous Millennium Park right here in the Midwest? Bring skates or rent your own, and twirl around the rink with the Chicago skyline as your backdrop. Afterward, check out your reflection in "The Bean" sculpture, or catch the sales along Michigan Avenue. More info: Chicago Convention & Tourism Bureau [38]
Bayfield, Wisconsin [41]
Most people who trek north to tiny Bayfield, Wisconsin, in winter come for one thing: to see the magical Apostle Islands frozen in Lake Superior. Most years, the lake freezes hard enough for cars to drive out to Madeleine Island, or hikers and skiers can explore the islands' sea caves by foot. Back on the mainland, warm your toes by the wood-burning stoves at the elegant Old Rittenhouse Inn (rittenhouseinn.com [42]). More info: Bayfield and the Apostle Islands [43]
Hocking Hills, Ohio [46]
The Hocking Hills' rock formations and caves become even more dramatic in winter, when snow settles on the damp rocks and bare trees, and water freezes into huge icicles. Every January, hundreds come out for Hocking Hills State Park's annual Winter Hike (parks.ohiodnr.gov [47]). More information: Hocking Hills Tourism Association [48]
At Glenlaurel Inn & Spa nearby (glenlaurel.com [49]), inventive food and plush cabins balance brisk hikes for a perfectly woodsy winter getaway. Guests retreat to nicely appointed, Scottish-theme cottages and rooms, some with hot tubs and some with two-person whirlpools. Meals are an occasion: Six- and seven-course dinners are served in the Manor House (where a bagpiper in full kilt dress pipes on the weekends).
Read Midwest Living's story about a winter escape to the Hocking Hills. [50]
Branson, Missouri [53]
Even in southern Missouri, snow and ice sometimes blanket the woods around Table Rock Lake, making the luxe cabins at Big Cedar Lodge (bigcedar.com [54]) perfect for those who prefer to sip hot chocolate and enjoy the winter landscape from the other side of a picture window.
If you care to venture outside your cozy lodging, Branson's entertainment still sparkles in December, when you can catch the ever-popular Shoji Tabuchi Show (shoji.com [55]) or spend a day at Silver Dollar City theme park (silverdollarcity.com [56]). January and February are quieter, but the weather is often mild enough by Midwest standards (average highs in the 40s and 50s) to fish and golf; some of Branson's shows also continue through the winter. More information: Branson, Missouri [57]
Dearborn, Michigan [60]
At holiday time, Greenfield Village, a collection of historic buildings at The Henry Ford [61] museum complex, feels like a page from a storybook. Take a carriage or Model-T ride to see the period holiday decorations, warm up in the blacksmith shop, chat with costumed interpreters and even take pictures with Santa and live reindeer. Overnight visitors can stay just across the street at the gracious Georgian-style Dearborn Inn. [62] From January through mid-April, the village is closed for the season, but The Henry Ford Museum remains open, with more than enough to fill a day.
St. Croix River, Wisconsin and Minnesota [65]
One of the prettiest rivers in the Midwest, the St. Croix becomes downright gorgeous in winter, when the forested cliffs that form its banks are covered in fresh, white snow. In little towns like Stillwater, shoppers bustle on historic streets, while hardy hikers of all ages strap on snowshoes or cross-country skis to explore Interstate State Park [66], which sprawls between Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Special winter events in the area include a hot air balloon festival in early February and a "Chocolate March" tour of B&Bs and chocolate-tasting in March. Check the St. Croix Regional Tourism Alliance [67] website for more information.
Southwest Lake Michigan shore [70]
Every winter, lake-effect storms leave southwest Michigan's lighthouses and sand dunes cloaked in ice and snow. It's a stunning winter landscape, perfect for snowshoeing in Warren Woods State Park [71] outside Three Oaks, Michigan; walking up Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore's [72] famed Mount Baldy; and cross-country skiing in Love Creek County Park [73]near Berrien Springs, Michigan.
Of course, the Lake Michigan shore in winter is also perfect for warming up over wine tasting at a vineyard or breakfast at Tryon Farm Guesthouse [74] in Michigan City, Indiana, where breakfast includes fresh-laid eggs. More information: 15 Reasons to Visit Lake Michigan in Winter [75]; Southwestern Michigan Tourist Council [76]
Canoe Bay, Wisconsin [79]
Looking for a romantic getaway with your sweetie? No kids allowed at Canoe Bay (canoebay.com [80]) in northwest Wisconsin (outside Chetek, about two hours east of Minneapolis, Minnesota). Instead, you'll find the plushest-of-plush cabins and rooms, a gourmet restaurant and picture-perfect horse-drawn sleigh rides. Few sounds break the hushed winter spell of this 280-acre retreat surrounded by North Woods. A splurge? Yes, but you won't regret it.
For more romantic Midwest getaways, click here [81].
Upper Peninsula, Michigan [84]
You don't need to go to Alaska to experience dog sledding. The owners of Nature's Kennel Sled Dog Racing and Adventures on Michigan's Upper Peninsula are Iditarod veterans (natureskennel.com [85]). Visitors can help "train" their pups by going on day and overnight mushing trips. Participants learn to drive their own sled, so bonding with your canine crew is inevitable. The half-day, full-day or overnight treks start in McMillan, Michigan, about 90 miles east of Marquette.
Outdoor adventures also abound at nearby Tahquamenon Falls State Park (michigandnr.com [86]), with miles of trails for snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. For general information on the area: Newberry Area Tourism Association [87]
Crystal Mountain, Michigan [90]
Founded in 1956 as a community ski area, Crystal Mountain (28 miles southwest of Traverse City) has become a destination for healthful, pampering getaways. Guests ski, sample the spa menu at the Thistle Pub and Grille, and hit the we've-thought-of-everything 11,000-square-foot Crystal Spa. Alpine village-style lodging ranges from basic hotel rooms to five-bedroom mountaintop townhomes, where guests can ski out their back doors. Check for ski and spa packages (crystalmountain.com [91]).

All That Jazz: A Linked Data Look Into The Musical Genre's Community Relationships
Linked Data projects in and of themselves are cool. But sometimes, one of them just stands out as even cooler. Such is the case with Linked Jazz, some 2900-triples strong in the service of identifying and revealing the network of social relationships among the jazz community.
Talk about all that jazz. The effort, led by Cristina Pattuelli, associate professor at the Pratt Institute School of Information and Library Science, includes a visualization tool developed by a graduate student there, Matthew Miller, that provides different and compelling ways to explore connections among the jazz greats and the lesser-knowns, as well. You can view individuals based on the number of connections they have, for instance, or on their shared connections.
"It can be used dynamically to click on an artist and see the pattern of all the connections around him, play a clip from YouTube, have a little bio," Pattuelli says. It's innovative, she says, because it runs direct from a browser. Read more

Looking over the Deaths over view for he first couple of tries, Galook seems to be being munched by both bone warriors as Onyxia. Firstly thats a crap ton of damage, Onyxia hits hard enough as is, and Shadow Flame Breaths just gonna keep the adds up indefinetly, making them hit for a crap ton. Your onyxia tank shouldn't really be tanking adds.
I'll keep posting/editing as i peruse later attempts
Edit: try 4 Galook got one 3.2k heal over 11 seconds
Try 5 somone failed at interupts
Try 6 Ony tank didn't pop a CD for Electrocute, but also isn't getting much healing apart from his own
Try 7 your DPS add tanking got caught in ony lighting discharge, either his, or ony positioning was at fault, the adds munched a healer P2 making phse 2 impossible, I assume the priest realised this and didn't jump up a platform.
Try 8 DPS shaman fails at getting to a pillar everyone else seemed to die through insufficient healing assumed a wipe was called
Try 9 looks like the rogue wasn't fast enough getting on to a pillar and then someone missed an interupt (the rogue coz he was late getting to a pillar?) DPS shammie is also in the lava for some reason
Try 10, Rogue seems to be really badly positioned, and someone(s) failed at interupts
Try 11 people are standing in the pink fire
Try 12, rogue fails at getting onto a pillar, the addtank gets bugger all heals
try 13 Nef tank only get heals via Beacon.
try 14 someone(s) fails at interupts
try 15 Adds on healers in p3, people standing infront of the dragon,
try 16 Priest fails at getting on a pillar, Interupts failed again
try 17 Priest is hit by onyxia's discharge, not topped off before an electrocute
try 18 someone fails at interupts.
Edit 2: Rogue's not using Feint anywhere near enough, it's works against electrocute, so he should be having it up for each one, in phase 2 he should be aiming for maximum uptime. Looking at the longer fights there's not alot of defensive CDs being used for them, The warrior never used Rallying Cry, No shaman bothered with Glyph of Stone Claw, the locks not making the most of Nether Ward, only 6 people are using their healthstones. I would assume (and this is tenuous) but becuase your raid are not making the most of their defensive abilties, the healers are struggling and that wahy tanks are falling over. or it could jsut be that the healers are struggling any how. The interupts seem to be not managed well in phase 2. A few mistakes are creeping in.

Kent Taylor and Connie Leonard
They've been married almost 13 years, yet many people still don't know Kent Taylor and Connie Leonard are a couple.
The WAVE-3 TV personalities are, in fact, husband and wife, but since Connie chose to keep her maiden name on air, the public is often left confused when they see her out with her other half.
"With us being on the air and having different last names, most people do not know that we're married," said Connie, who is the 7 p.m. news anchor and an 11 p.m. reporter for WAVE. "The last two years on Derby Day, I've gotten an e-mail from people that are like, my wife and I have a bet, are you and Kent Taylor married?"
Connie will gladly confirm she and Kent are an item, though the two rarely mention their relationship on the job.
The couple work the night shift together, with Kent the sports director at WAVE, but they first met at another station.
"We actually became friends (at WLKY) and then I got a job at WAVE and our friendship continued, and we started dating after that," Connie said.
At her former employer, a friend of Connie's mentioned Kent was interested in her, but Connie shrugged it off insisting Kent was just a friend. The thought seemed to have opened Connie's mind to dating him, which she did. Two years later, she and Kent were engaged to be married.
"It's not a good story," Kent and Connie both laughed about the proposal.
"I had the ring and it was burning a hole in my pocket, and I'm thinking how am I going to do this," Kent explained. "And one night I decided to do it, and I came home and she was like watching 'Frasier.' … She didn't want to be bothered."
"I didn't know what he was doing," Connie laughed. "He was acting weird. He was so nervous."
"This was before reality TV really took off," Kent continued. "Now I wouldn't even consider interrupting 'Real Housewives' of anywhere."
Connie quickly forgave the interruption and said "yes" to Kent. The couple married on August 7, 1999, at Lutheran Concordia church. Following the ceremony, they held a reception at the Brown and Williamson Club, which had just opened at the time inside Papa John's Cardinal Stadium. They later snapped some wedding photos on the football field below, a perfect backdrop for two people who have a shared passion for sports.
While the duo get along great working, living and playing together, the first year of marriage wasn't so easy.
"We never saw each other, and it kind of made it difficult," Connie recalled. "We didn't really talk; we weren't really seeing each other at work at all because he was still at (WLKY) Channel 32 for (about a year before moving to WAVE)."
Getting used to married life was also a challenge, as it is for most newlywed couples. However, with some maturity and Kent's move to WAVE, the next 12 years of marriage were even easier, especially once Connie switched to the evening news.
"We choose to work nights because he has to work nights," Connie said. "It's just a lot easier for us to be able to have time to run an errand or if we want to go to lunch or something like that before we go to work so we can have some time together."
Outside of the job, Connie and Kent like to travel off the beaten path. It's a joke between the two that Connie's next career will be at a travel agency, since she likes to plan every vacation down to the last detail.
"When we go on vacation, we just want to get away," Kent said. "The best place is maybe a place where your phone doesn't work." Sometimes it's also a location without a TV, though that wasn't originally a popular idea for Kent when the two went to Napa during football season one September.
The pair have also had the opportunity to visit cities in the U.S. and abroad with their respective careers, which have entailed covering the Olympics and several Final Fours.
Outside of traveling, Connie and Kent spend time at home relaxing and watching TV, especially Connie who loves her reality television.
"I just watch 'Sportscenter,'" Kent assured. "I do watch some of those (reality shows) sometimes, but not any of those 'Real Housewives' shows."
The couple share a home in the Highlands with their two dogs, Maddie and Hank. And most importantly, they share a sense of humor, which is particularly helpful with the stress of meeting deadline at work.
"I think the main thing for us is we have a sense of humor," Connie said of what makes their relationship work. "We have like a really weird, sometimes really dumb, sometimes really strange sense of humor. He makes me laugh all the time because he's always saying something really ridiculous; he cracks me up."
"Laughter is the best medicine – how 'bout that," Kent said with a grin.
"Do laugh and act goofy and be yourselves," Connie said. "Do things that you're interested in. Be more courteous to each other and not selfish."
"Don't steal things off your spouse's list," Kent joked as Connie named all his "Do's" of marriage.
"My mother always said don't go to bed mad," Connie said.

I did not know, but you two make a beautiful couple. May God continue to Bless and keep you two together, evidently you two are very happy. Love you both
As someone who's been lucky enough to know Kent for 20+ years, I can honestly say that they are truly a wonderful duo and two of my favorite Kentuckians. I just think it's great how Kent handles it when Connie is recognized in public and congratulated for all of her awards. Not once have I seen him become jealous and/or say, "Uh, I'm on TV too. Seriously, I do sports." His humility is refreshing and awe-inspiring, to say the least. The only surprise in this article was Kent failing to mention his passion for watching Days of Our Lives. Let's be honest, you don't attend nine consecutive Soap Conventions unless you're a pretty big fan of the daytime dramas. Well, cheers for many more blissful years of marriage and hugs and kisses from California.
That is awesome. Really like to hear stories like this…are you two going to see anchorman 2 together?

One of two Catholic churches in a Batavia parish held its last mass on Sunday.
St. Anthony's Parish Family is more than 100 years old.
It's Liberty Street church was built in the 1950's.
The group of Buffalo Diocese members recommended closing Saint Anthony's Church on Liberty Street in Batavia as of January 1st.
Saint Anthony's merged with Sacred Heart Church on Sumner Street to become the new Ascension Parish back in 2008, according to the diocese.
"Even though I believe there are good reasons after we study these situations to make these hard decisions, I know it's a terribly difficult, sad, grieving thing and I know why some people get angry about it too," said Bishop Malone.
Committee members said a dwindling congregation at Saint Anthony's made it tough to pay church expenses.

Definitely valid points Lilie. Your guild demographic sounds broad, from Cider's voiceover, so it was necessary to set an objective standard for admission to those raids. If the guild can adapt to these new rules, that is great.
For smaller raiding guilds that have been around awhile, this level of expectation is new and may produce a "roster adjustment". Folks need to decide if it is worth that cost.

I've just had an opportunity to review the proposals that were submitted by the 6 scholarship applicants. I have to say I am so proud of each and every one of these ladies. The hard work and dedication that is required to not only prepare the proposal but the effort that will be necessary to implement them is a measure of their commitment.
I just wanted to congratulate these women on a job well done. I wish you all the best of luck!
Kudos to the credit union community is more gender diverse
than many industries. Filene Research Institute released a study, Women in Leadership: Obstacles and
Opportunities, earlier this year, which states that two-thirds of CEOs at
credit union with less than $50 million in assets are women. However, in the
$100 million to $500 million range, the figure is only 20%, and at more than
$500 million, the stat is just one in eight credit union CEOs are women.
Globally, male CEOs dominate credit unions of all sizes. Then there's this
directly from the April report: Women
comprised only 41% of credit union senior staff in 2012 despite making up 70%
of the credit union workforce in the U.S.
The reasons for this vary. Certainly many women make
legitimate decisions on the home front that they feel they can't or don't want
to balance with a career. Filene's April 2014 study noted that fewer women
aspire to senior management. But it also found that employers nudge men and
women in stereotypical directions that lead women to areas of the business that
are not considered senior management track departments. For example, the head
of HR is typically considered an "appropriate" role for women. Or marketing
(which should be considered much more important than it generally is, but
that's another discussion).
What perpetuates the stereotyping? Society? Some basic
evolutionary instinct? Whatever the cause, it needs to end. The statistics
don't need to move closer to 50-50 out of a sense of fairness. Diversification
is not an equal rights issue. It's a business continuity issue. Continuity in
the sense of prosperity and the fact that there will not be enough qualified
Gen X men to fill the spots vacated by those who will be retiring over the next
decade. According to a University of California-Davis report, among
the 400 public companies in California, the top 34 firms with the greatest
gender diversity at the senior management level earned three times more revenue
and 50% higher profit than the average company in the study.
In order to move toward greater equality and prosperity, we
must acknowledge and educate. Part 2 of Filene's research series is coming out
next month, Credit Union Women in
Leadership International Research Series Part 2: Attributes and Challenges.
Filene is hosting a colloquium
to discuss the results of the next survey on June 19. As of this writing the
event had 68 registered attendees, only four of who are men and one is a
professor at the University of Southern California where the event will be held.
Go West!
issues are not just women's issues. They are your business issues, your daughters' and your
wives' life and career issues. It can be uncomfortable for men to address the
issue of gender. I applaud the men at Filene like Mark Meyer and Ben Rogers for
tackling this issue. Some male executives might be afraid of saying the wrong
thing so they bury their heads in the sand, but Filene and the handful of men
attending their colloquium are lassoing this issue that is bucking just under
the surface to obtain a better grip on the future of the workplace, leadership
and how it can improve credit unions.
"If you're not aware of what the data says, then it's easy
to put it aside," Rogers explained of Filene's research. If it's not in your
life experience, it's easier to turn a blind eye. True leaders read the
landscape, saddle up and ride that pony—not off into the sunset but into the
sunlight. Do you have the spurs?

Purchase Reason
I have had many compliments on this picture since I hung it on my wall in my office at work. Love it!
Purchase Reason
Bright and beautiful. Looks great on our copper walls in the study! It's easy to pick frames and matting.Artwork arrives very soon after ordering.
Purchase Reason
I agree with the other reviews, the colors in this are great.
Purchase Reason
This piece is the perfect size for the wall behind the piano. The colors pop and add an interesting focal point to the room.
Purchase Reason
This last piece I bought to pull together everything else I bought in redecorating my walls after my whole indoors was repainted. At first I put it in a bright spot which was ideal for the painting;which amplified the light that was already there. After i enjoyed it in this light for its own sake, I then switched it with a more subtle reproduction which needed the light and I used Blue Essence to brighten the dark corner that had swallowed Klimt's Apple Tree.
I started by looking to replace an old print of a particular Miro. Art.com has many a Miro but not the one I sought,so I bought 3 others. Next I bought 3 by Klimt. The last piece was by a new and relatively obscure artist. I thought that her work would go so well with my 'Klimt 3'as I was studying it - then i found a few pages of her own writing in which she allowed that she had "gone to school on Klimt" (to paraphrase).I have been perfectly happy with this piece as the coup de gras of my little collection, as I have also been with the quality of everything from this company, because even when there was a flaw (which did occur twice)the articles were replaced and (should I say for the disappointing delays?) the original slightly damaged pieces were also shipped and were mine to keep (or give away). I was already educated to the superior quality of Giclee printing by an artist friend of mine, and have been very happy with all the service,products and fair pricing from All posters and Art.com.
Below is my original Miro poster; this site suggests more images with captions - perhaps they could simply show the other seven reproductions that I bought from them??!!

The Computer Science Undergraduate Society (CSUS) is a group
of students from McGill University.
Mainly, we try and represent the School of Computer Science's
undergraduate population to McGill and the community at large.
Live long and prosper
We as a collective aim to better McGill's Computer Science community by planning events and services for students, ranging from social events, to addressing student academic concerns.
We aim to develop a sense of community among McGill's Computer Science students, by holding pizza nights, organizing gaming tournaments, and co-hosting the wildly successful "Awkward Events" with Math and Physics.
In addition, we strive to cultivate an environment in which students can achieve their various academic goals, be that receiving help from our peer tutoring help desk or semester end crash courses, regular Research Talks by McGill's grad students, or connecting our students with business leaders through the Bi-Yearly TechFair.
The CSUS is a student-run organization, currently made up of 15 undergraduate Computer Science students. The Society represents the student body and all programs, from Joint Honours Statistics and Computer Science to the minor program.
We are the representatives of the computer science student body to administration, the Science Undergraduate Society, and the world at large. We intend to bridge the gap, and to raise any student concerns and hopefully solve them.
We are your one and only source into the scandalous lives of the Computer Science elite
Community is important. Developing a sense of community not only fosters a great undergraduate experience, but also enables the calibre that is expected of McGill Students.
In the future, we will continue to improve the experience of McGill undergraduate Computer Scientists not only by connecting them with each other and the community, but by also providing them a means to achieve their academic potential.Give us a shout if you have any ideas!

Westerway is a village located in the beautiful Derwent Valley just an hour north west of Hobart and only 10 minutes from the magnificent Mt Field National Park. Located on the picturesque Tyenna River, it is an ideal location for photography, trout fishing, platypus-viewing or as a base for visiting the Styx and Florentine valleys, Lake Pedder and Southwest National Park. Summer visitors can sample the delights of the surrounding berry farms and cherry orchards, while winter gives the opportunity to visit the nearby snowfields at Mt Mawson. Originally known as Russell, the town was renamed Westerway in 1919 and became a centre for the local timber and hops industries with some of the original railway buildings and oast houses still to be seen. Accommodation is available at a number of B&Bs. Dining is available at the local cafe while provisions, fuel and post office facilities are available at the roadhouse. Take the time to explore Westerway and its surrounds and you won't be disappointed.
Stanley is the second largest settlement west of Wynyard on the northern coast. It is part of the Circular Head Municipality. Smithton is the main business area of this Municipality. Stanley's iconic 'Nut', a volcanic plug rising 150 metres (492 feet), likened to an enormous Christmas cake by explorers Bass and Flinders. Stanley has a population of 450. Its main industries are fishing and tourism. For an aerobic workout Stanley-style – or to walk off the town's speciality (fish and chips) – you can climb a winding path to the windblown plateau of the Nut. Alternatively, take the chairlift to appreciate the uninterrupted views of Bass Strait. This is a great place for guided tours. The Tarkine Wilderness Area, to the south, has gained international recognition for its temperate rainforest, and you can travel there by four-wheel-drive with guides who know the area intimately. Closer to Stanley, brave Highfield Historic Site to learn how the area's first European settlers lived. Historic tours are also offered through Stanley's streets, lined with stone cottages dating back to the town's settlement. Stanley is a good base to stay and explore the wilderness areas and take a wildlife tour. Seal-spotting cruises and penguin watching at the foot of the Nut are a must. There are bushwalks in nearby Rocky Cape National Park. Tours of Woolnorth are popular – the historic property, still operated under its original Van Diemen's Land Company charter, also has modern influences, including a large, productive wind farm. Stanley was discovered by Bass and Flinders in 1798 and was named after the British Secretary of State for the Colonies, Lord Stanley. The first telephone transmission from Tasmania to mainland Australia was made in 1936 from Stanley. The town was also the birthplace of Joseph Lyons, currently the only Tasmanian to ever hold the office of prime minister. Stanley has an average maximum temperature of 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) in January and 12.5 degrees Celsius
Wynyard is a centre of agriculture on the A2 about 60 kilometres (37 miles) west of Devonport. The city is on the banks of the Inglis River sheltered by Table Cape - flat-topped and fertile and during spring it is carpeted in tulips. Take a boat out, go fishing, ride a horse, swing a golf club or a tennis racquet, or just go walking or driving. This is a beautiful stretch of coast, with beaches and bays in either direction. The Wonders of Wynyard is the local visitor centre with a world class collection of vintage Ford cars and local art. Behind the town you'll pass village after tiny village as you explore the country roads among the farmlands, patchworked in green, gold and dark chocolaty brown. Wynyard has a direct link to Melbourne from Burnie Airport. You can fly to King and Three Hummock islands from Wynyard.
Cockle Creek, on Tasmania's southeast coast, is the most southerly town in Australia. The tiny seaside settlement of a few shacks 90 kilometres south of Geeveston is a quiet corner, ideal for a summer swim, picnic or campsite. It is also the beginning, or the end, of the South Coast Track, one of Tasmania's great bushwalks.
Mole Creek occupies a valley between the Gog Range and the Great Western Tiers in the central north, not far from Tasmania's highest point, Mount Ossa. This is an area of fascinating limestone caves that have been forming over the past 450 million years and are now protected in Tasmania's only underground national park. There are more than 300 caves and sinkholes in all, many featuring streams and springs. Public tours are conducted through King Solomons and Marakoopa caves, and each give you a very different experience. King Solomons is noted for its lavish colours and formations, while Marakoopa is a wet cave containing the largest display of glow worms in Australia. For equally spectacular scenery, be adventurous and join a wild cave tours. You will journey through underground streams and squeeze between rocky passages with only a headlamp to illuminate your path – be prepared to get wet. After navigating the caves, you can join a four wheel drive tour of the Mersey valley, visit a leatherwood honey farm, or try white-water rafting on the upper Mersey. There are many pleasant short walks in the area at Liffey Falls and Arm River. You'll be rewarded by beautiful scenery on longer bushwalks at Lake Rowallan and the Walls of Jerusalem National Park. There's plenty of wildlife at Mole Creek – including the world's largest barn owl and native Australian animals at the Trowunna Wildlife Park. Mole Creek is home to little more than 200 people, most of whom earn their living from farming and forestry. It was named after of a small stream that veered underground, like a mole. The area was originally inhabited by Aboriginal people and was explored by Europeans hunting for fur skins in the 1830s. The average maximum temperature for January is 21.5 degrees, while in June it's 11 degrees. Mole Creek is 72 kilometres (45 miles) west of Launceston. Take the B54 as far as Deloraine and the B12 from there.
Rising 1270 metre (around 4000 feet) above Hobart's harbour and the wide Derwent River, Mt Wellington provides a wilderness experience within 20 minutes of the city and is much loved by locals. The 21 kilometre drive to the summit takes you from temperate rainforest to sub-alpine flora and glacial rock formations, ending in panoramic views of Hobart, Bruny Island, South Arm and the Tasman Peninsula. The interpretation centre at the top protects you from the blustering winds and a viewing platform on the western side of the car park looks out to the southern World Heritage Area beyond. Bushwalking trails suit all fitness levels and barbecue and picnic facilities are provided. Mountain activities also include cycling and abseiling. The Aboriginal name for Mt Wellington is Unghbanyahletta or Poorawetter. In February 1836 Charles Darwin climbed Mt Wellington during a visit on the HMAS Beagle.
Currie is on the west coast of King Island, north-east of mainland Tasmania. You are sure to feel its remoteness as you gaze at the Southern Ocean – next stop: Africa. Almost 800 people live in Currie, the commercial centre of the Island. Industries include fishing, farming, and harvesting bull kelp for food and cosmetics. King Island's 200 kilometres (124 miles) of coastline contain rugged cliffs softened occasionally by white, sandy beaches. More than 60 ships have been wrecked off these unforgiving shores, and a trail now guides you to interpretive plaques all around the island describing the various calamities. Scuba diving on the wrecks themselves is by far the best way to see them. If you walk on a deserted beach you may be lucky enough to find a large, coiled nautilus shell. King Island has popular surfing beaches and sheltered lagoons for swimming. You can visit a 7,000-year-old calcified forest, created when the sand covering a forest finally receded, leaving fascinating limestone features. You can see all kinds of wildlife on the island too – wallabies, echidnas, seals, penguins and wild turkeys. You will receive royal treatment at King Island. Delectably tender beef, mouth-watering crayfish and gourmet dairy foods await you. Lush pastures and clean air contribute to the island's worldwide recognition for superior quality produce. Currie Harbour was discovered by Captain Archibald Currie in 1797. In 1845 Australia's worst peacetime maritime disaster occurred when 400 emigrants aboard the Cataraqui perished off the island's coast. Cape Wickham lighthouse was erected in 1861 to prevent more ships from meeting such a fate. The town grew when scheelite mining began in 1917. Currie has an average maximum of 20.5 degrees Celsius (69 degrees Fahrenheit) in January and 13.5 degrees Celsius (56.5 degrees Fahrenheit) in June. Currie, on King Island, is 80 kilometres (49.5 miles) north-east of mainland Tasmania, and is accessible by plane and cargo vessels.
The east coast village of Coles Bay sits beneath pink granite mountains at the entrance to Freycinet National Park. With a small permanent population of less than 200 people, the town caters to local and visitor needs. The Coles Bay area is one of our Island's most popular holiday spots for visitors and locals. It overlooks crystal clear Oyster Bay – ideal for swimming, snorkelling, kayaking, boating and fishing. Prior to European settlement the Great Oyster Bay and Big River aboriginal tribes made the annual trek, in the cooler climate, for seafood and swan eggs. European settlers arrived in the early 1800s, and the area was developed by sealers, whalers, miners and farmers. After Freycinet National Park was declared in 1916 the area became increasingly popular as a holiday destination. Coles Bay is about 45 minutes' drive from Swansea and around 30 minutes from Bicheno..
Concealed in the foothills of majestic Mount Roland is the enterprising town of Sheffield, where history and art merge to create an entire town of murals. Almost 1,000 people live in Sheffield, farming sheep, cattle, deer and emus. You can learn about the history of the Kentish district from the murals themselves, or in local museums, but there are also many galleries and studies to browse in. At the Working Art Space you can talk with local artists as they work. The views from the summit of 1,234 metre Mount Roland are worth the climb. Sheffield is close to an alpaca farm, vineyards, Devil's Gate Dam and Kimberley's thermal springs. The beautiful Lake Barrington, created by the Mersey-Forth Hydro Electric Scheme, is an international rowing course and a haven for water sports. When you get to The Promised Land, you'll find Tasmazia and the Village of Lower Crackpot, which has its own postcode. With seven mazes, Tasmazia is the largest complex of its kind in the world. It specialises in lavender, honey and pancakes. Sheffield was explored by Nathaniel Kentish in 1842 but its dense forests meant that it was not settled until1859. It was named by Edward Curr, after his homeland in Yorkshire. The town prospered in 1963 with the Power Development Scheme, but declined when the dams were completed. Sheffield is the centre of the Kentish district, and Mount Roland (named by Captain James Rolland in 1823) is a great source of artistic inspiration. Sheffield, 30 kilometres south of Devonport, reaches an average maximum temperature of 21 degrees in January and 11.5 degrees in June. Occasionally Mount Roland receives a dusting of snow – a visual delight.
Kettering is a small town in a peaceful, idyllic setting on the D'Entrecasteaux Channel, about 30 minutes' drive or 37 kilometres south of Hobart. The area was first explored by French navigator Bruni D'Entrecasteaux in 1792 and by the early 1800s whalers, sealers and timber cutters had settled in the region. The area around Kettering continued to develop due to its suitability for timber, and berry and fruit farming. The scallop industry was also a boom in the first half of the 1800s. Kettering now has a thriving community involved in many artistic and maritime pursuits. Yachts, fishing boats, salmon farmers in their runabouts, and sea kayaks are all regular sights in the sheltered waterways. There are two major marinas, as well as many smaller, privately owned jetties, and over 600 boats that call Kettering home. It also serves as an important service hub for local farmers and producers. Vineyards and colourful orchards of berries, cherries and apples surround the general area. The Bruny Island Ferry, Mirambeena, is a vehicular ferry which runs a return trip numerous times a day from Kettering to Bruny Island. At the ferry terminal there is a comprehensive visitor centre also housing a gift shop and a waterfront cafe, which specialises in local produce and seafood. Kettering is also home to a distinctive 1930s built hotel, which boasts superb views across to Bruny Island. The hotel houses a restaurant and offers bar meals. A Turkish cafe also serves as the local deli, and don't miss the speciality hand-made chocolates available from the local chocolatier. Great pizzas and coffee can be found at a small cafe opposite the oval. There are a number of accommodation options in the area, including charming self-contained cottages, beautifully appointed bed and breakfast options and luxurious suites overlooking the marina. The hotel also offers rooms upstairs. For a great view out across the D'Entrecasteaux Channel toward Bruny Island, take the short 10 minute walk through she-

What is rotational dining?
Rotational dining is the Disney Cruise Line® way of making sure that each Guest experiences each themed dining environment on board. Every evening, you dine with the same tablemates and have the same servers as you "rotate" to one of 3 main restaurants (not all restaurants are on all ships). Guests receive their schedule when they board, which tells them exactly when and where to go. Children's menus are available in the restaurants.

On the Disney Wonder® and the Disney Magic®, the Main Seating is at 5:45 p.m.; the Second Seating is at 8:15 p.m.
On the Disney Dream and the Disney Fantasy, the Main Seating is at 6:00 p.m.; the Second seating is at 8:30 p.m.
When you book a vacation, please request either the Main or Second Seating. If the seating preference is not available, an alternate seating will be assigned. Regretfully, requests for a specific dining time cannot be guaranteed. For the assigned time and restaurant rotation, please check the dining tickets located in the stateroom upon arrival. Times are subject to change.
Can I request with whom to sit at dinner?
Every person in your stateroom will be at your table. At the time of booking, you can specify other people to sit with who will also be on board. If you don't, assignments will be made to fill in your table. Generally, adults without children will dine with other adults, while families dine with other families.
What should I wear to dinner?
Dining Dress requirements vary by venue or theme night on your cruise. In general, most meals are "Cruise Casual". Most cruises also have special theme nights with additional attire requirements.
What is Remy, and how do I make a dining reservation there?
Remy is an intimate Adult Exclusive restaurant located on Deck 12, aboard the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy. Offering the most upscale dining experience available onboard, the restaurant serves the finest in French-inspired cuisine for dinner. Reservations are required and can be made online in advance of embarkation or after you board the ship. Since seating is limited, advance reservations are recommended. Remy dining is limited to Guests 18 and older. The Remy Dining Option is available for $75 USD per Guest for dinner.
What is Palo, and how do I make a dining reservation there?
All 4 ships feature an elegant adults-only restaurant called Palo. Reservations for champagne brunch, high tea (on available cruises) and dinner at Palo can be made online in advance of embarkation or after you board the ship. Since seating is limited, advance reservations are recommended. Palo dining is limited to Guests 18 and older. The Palo Dining Option is $25 USD per Guest for both brunch and dinner.
Please Note: When Guests have not cancelled a dining reservation at Palo or Remy by 2:00 p.m. on the day of the reservation or do not show to the restaurant to honor their reservation, the reservation is considered confirmed and 100% of the Dining Option is applied to the Guests' folio.
Where are breakfast and lunch served?
Breakfast and lunch are served in Carioca's and Lumiérés on the Disney Magic; Triton's and Parrot Cay on the Disney Wonder; Royal Palace and Enchanted Garden on the Disney Dream; Royal Court and Enchanted Garden on the Disney Fantasy.

Site by David Winterbottom (user root).
This will comment out a line, specified by line number, in a given file.
I needed a way to search all files in a web directory that contained a certain string, and replace that string with another string. In the example, I am searching for "askapache" and replacing that string with "htaccess". I wanted this to happen as a cron job, and it was important that this happened as fast as possible while at the same time not hogging the CPU since the machine is a server.
So this script uses the nice command to run the sh shell with the command, which makes the whole thing run with priority 19, meaning it won't hog CPU processing. And the -P5 option to the xargs command means it will run 5 separate grep and sed processes simultaneously, so this is much much faster than running a single grep or sed. You may want to do -P0 which is unlimited if you aren't worried about too many processes or if you don't have to deal with process killers in the bg.
Also, the -m1 command to grep means stop grepping this file for matches after the first match, which also saves time.
Uses curl to download page of membership of US Congress. Use sed to strip HTML then perl to print a line starting with two tabs (a line with a representative)
Assuming that $script contains the filename of a script you'd like to post as part of a comment on this site, this will prefix each line with '$' and pipe it into the X selection. From there just put the cursor in the right place in the comments box and middle-click.
Should work pretty much anywhere with xclip installed. On debian-ish systems this is installed as part of the package "xclip".
Checks the Gmail ATOM feed for your account, parses it and outputs a list of unread messages.
For some reason sed gets stuck on OS X, so here's a Perl version for the Mac:
curl -u username:password --silent "https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom" | tr -d '\n' | awk -F '<entry>' '{for (i=2; i<=NF; i++) {print $i}}' | perl -pe 's/^<title>(.*)<\/title>.*<name>(.*)<\/name>.*$/$2 - $1/'
If you want to see the name of the last person, who added a message to the conversation, change the greediness of the operators like this:
curl -u username:password --silent "https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom" | tr -d '\n' | awk -F '<entry>' '{for (i=2; i<=NF; i++) {print $i}}' | perl -pe 's/^<title>(.*)<\/title>.*?<name>(.*?)<\/name>.*$/$2 - $1/'
Manages everything through one sed script instead of pipes of greps and awks. Quoting of shell variables is generally easier within a sed script.
Based on the MrMerry one, just add some visuals to differentiate files and directories
Based on the MrMerry one, just add some visuals and sort directory and files
saves one command. Needs GNU grep though :-(
The grep switches eliminate the need for awk and sed. Modifying vim with -p will show all files in separate tabs, -o in separate vim windows. Just wish it didn't hose my terminal once I exit vim!!
This will drop you into vim to edit all files that contain your grep string.
"&&" runs sed if and only if the backup completed and /bin/cp exited cleanly. Works for multiple files; just specify multiple filenames (or glob). Use -v switch for cp to play it safe.
Reverse DNS lookups, from a file with list of IP's, here the file is called lookups.txt
The coolest way I've found to backup a wordpress mysql database using encryption, and using local variables created directly from the wp-config.php file so that you don't have to type them- which would allow someone sniffing your terminal or viewing your shell history to see your info.
I use a variation of this for my servers that have hundreds of wordpress installs and databases by using a find command for the wp-config.php file and passing that through xargs to my function.
Having to escape forwardslashes when using sed can be a pain. However, it's possible to instead of using / as the separator to use : .
I found this by trying to substitute $PWD into my pattern, like so
sed "s/~.*/$PWD/" file.txt
Of course, $PWD will expand to a character string that begins with a / , which will make sed spit out an error such as "sed: -e expression #1, char 8: unknown option to `s'".
So simply changing it to
sed "s:~.*:$PWD:" file.txt
did the trick.
I wanted all the 'hidden' .flv files from the http link in the command line; wget seemed appropriate, fed with output from lynx, grep the flv files and the normalised via sed (to remove the numeric bullet). Similar to the 'Grab mp3 files' fu. Replace link with your own, grep arg with something more interesting ;) See here for something along the same lines...
Hope you find it useful! Improvements welcome, naturally.
Strangely enough, there is no option --lines=[negative] with tail, like the head's one, so we have to use sed, which is very short and clear, you see.
Strangely more enough, skipping lines at the bottom with sed is not short nor clear. From Sed one liner :
# delete the last 10 lines of a file
$ sed -e :a -e '$d;N;2,10ba' -e 'P;D' # method 1
$ sed -n -e :a -e '1,10!{P;N;D;};N;ba' # method 2
