Golfer D.H. Lee gives middle finger to gallery at AT&T National
D.H. Lee began round three of the PGA Tour's AT&T National tied for forth place on the leaderboard. At the end of round three on Saturday, he was talked about for flipping the bird.
According to USA Today, Lee was caught on television cameras on the 12th hole at Congressional Country Club giving the gallery the middle finger. The gesture was replayed on television by CBS.
On the 12th hole, Lee was frustrated with a fan in the stands when his approach to the green went long. Lee went on to bogey the hole and the rest of his round went downhill after that.
According to ESPN.com, Lee shot four over in round three after playing even par on the front nine. He dropped from forth place to 20th place and is now one under for the tournament.
Lee,26, from South Korea now trails James Driscoll, Bill Haas, Roberto Castro, and Andres Romero who are at seven under for the tournament as they head into the forth round on Sunday in Washington D.C.

Our PS3 has only picked them to lose once this postseason.
The Giants quarterback looks to beat Brady in the Super Bowl for the second time.
Isn't there a pep rally for the Giants? There isn't?
Everyone remembers who won. Do people remember who was supposed to win?
Indianapolis isn't New Orleans or San Diego ... but it's a darn sure lot better than Jacksonville.
The media's obsession with "guarantees" is back again, just like clockwork.
If the Giants win, a New York family will win a trip to Boston.

LOL you think this is style?
They did say in comparison to travelodge that it was style. Having been forced into using a Premier Inn for 3 nights recently and then a single night in a Travelodge (due to the joys of a roof collapse in my apartment), I would say that Premier Inn is a damned sight more pleasant than a Travelodge ever will be and when you consider that the two tend to be the same sort of prices, I can see where I will be more likely to spend the night in future if I have to based on this experience.

Do Humanlike Machines Deserve Human Rights?
And the award for ridiculous story of the day goes to this Wired article on "rights for robots."
With advanced robotics becoming cheaper and more commonplace, the challenge isn't how we learn to accept robots—but whether we should care when they're mistreated. And if we start caring about robot ethics, might we then go one insane step further and grant them rights?

Can someone tell me how to figure out what percent of alcohol by volume is figured out when making a batch of truffles?
Say I am making about 10 truffles using pre-made shells. About 1/2 cup ganache with about 2 - 4 TBLS liquor poured into the shell, then dipped in chocolate.
Views: 831
The usual method of production is to add the alcohol to the ganache and then pipe the flavored ganache into the shells, wait for the ganache to crystallize, and then enrobe.
The right amount to add is to taste and would depend on a number a number of factors including the kind of chocolate in the ganache and the strength (flavor and proof) of the spirit you're using. You'd use a lot less of a huge peaty Scotch like Peat Monster (for example) than other alcohols because it's so strong.
Keep in mind that you subtract the amount of alcohol you're using from the amount of other liquid (milk, cream) you're using for the ganache.
:: Clay
Thanks Clay. I am sorry I didn't make myself very clear. I do add my liquors to the ganache and mix really well to incorporate before filling the shells. I use a nice chocolate for the ganache.
My measurements were just an example for me to understand how to figure out the percentage of alcohol in a truffle by volume, not the fact that the truffle itself would be overpowering by taste. I do add small amounts and taste until I am satisfied by the taste of the ganache. My question is how to determine the percentage of alcohol i.e. > 1% or < 1% by volume?
I use several different liquors such as tequilla, spiced rum, coconut rum, frangelico, sambuca, kahlua, blue raspberry vodka, blackberry liquor, amaretto just to name a few. I have fun making truffles and experimenting with different flavors. I live in a 55+ community and my people here love taste testing.
Thanks, Carol
It's easier if you do everything metric and my recommendation is to weigh everything: get away from volumetric recipes. This relies on the fact that in the metric system, for these purposes, 1cc = 1ml = 1gr (close enough; it's really only precisely accurate for distilled water at 20C/68F (?) at sea level).
If the total weight of the ganache (chocolate, dairy, alcohol, other ingredients) is 1000 grams and you've added 10gr of alcohol, then the alcohol is 1% ABV. Simple. 5gr of alcohol in 350gr of ganache? ~1.4%
However, as I think about this, that's not entirely correct, because you need to consider proof. An 86 proof alcoholic beverage is only 43% alcohol. So if you add 10gr of - say - 86 proof rum to a recipe you're only adding 4.3gr of alcohol. The rest is water and flavorings. The math is still easy. In the case of 10gr of rum in a 1000gr recipe, the alcohol content is ~.43% ABV.
Now as I said, this is not 100% accurate past the first digit. But for hobby work, it should be more than close enough. If you plan to sell commercially interstate, then the labeling laws may require more precise measurement.
:: Clay
PS. Take your existing volume measures across making the recipe 5 or 10 times and weigh them. You'd be shocked to find out how inconsistent volume measuring is. Average the weights and use the average as the weight in your recipe.

I have dry eyes from this and my eyes are very watery and are painful. I have been putting drops and ointment in, but they seem to just fall out with the tears. My surgeon is very confident that my eyes will return back to normal in several months and that it is hardening from injury of tissues. Does this seem correct?

Hands-on & Immersive Experiences
Schedule a guided, inquiry-centered program to enhance your students' field trip experience. These programs offer hands-on access to objects from the museum's collection with a guided, inquiry-centered program. Programs expand themes from the Museum's exhibitions and engage students in the kinds of research activities that Museum scientists conduct every day.
Hands-on programs take place in the exhibit halls and in Museum labs and classrooms. Many programs require advance reservations. Please see the details for each program for further information about reservations.

Top Local Tips for Gianyar
Restaurants in Ubud There is a very pleasant food scene in Ubud with lots of fab restaurants and bars. Some young and lively, others pretty sophisticated and chic. We particularly enjoyed the food at Terazo (and there is a fabulous jewellery shop just a few doors along too). Batan Waru belongs to the same owners and is also good. We loved chilling out at Nomad and enjoyed hugely the colonial insider ambience for drinks or supper at Murni's Warung . Teenyweeny Delicat was fun for breakfast or a daytime snack and Ari's Warung was expensive, trendy and a very cool hangout.
Bali Bird Walk Check out the Bali Bird walk! Although it lasts about 3 hours, you will be fascinated. Your entertaining and pleasant guide will take you through rice fields and name the birds, butterflies and plants, as well as tell you more about the local culture. Other tourists will stop and try to listen in!
some great restaurants Try out the following:- Coffee silver [Monkey Forest Road] - great food and deserts and a nice ambinece with very friendly Danish owner - Carsten Jorgensen!! and try out Nuri's for road-side fare - spare ribs and draft beer is the way to go. Bebek Bengil [Dirty Duck] is over rated and mediocre!

|Audit Calls for Change in Missouri School Transportation
|Written by David Wegbreit
|Tuesday, 12 August 2008 00:00
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Some districts transporting 560,000 Missouri school children may not be consistently doing their job to ensure that all drivers undergo criminal record checks and drug testing and meet training requirements, according to a report by the state auditor.
All new Missouri school bus drivers and aides must undergo fingerprint-based background checks. Drivers must also complete a minimum of eight hours of in-service training and federal law requires at least 50 percent of drivers undergo random drug testing. However, according to the audit, problems occurred in part because districts and contractors relied on third-parties for drug testing and did not question whether testing procedures met federal requirements.
To improve compliance, the report suggested the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education issue additional guidance for districts and contractors. Oversight could also be improved by requiring districts to conduct periodic self-assessment of compliance with state and federal regulations, the report noted.
But Deborah Clink of the department's school transportation section says districts were found to be largely in compliance. A few large but isolated operations (about 5 of 30 districts) skewed the results of the audit, Clink said. She also noted that both the training requirement and the fingerprint requirement were relatively new.
Missouri Association for Pupil Transportation President Dennis Robertson agrees. Robertson said Raytown School District, where he is transportation director, was not reviewed in the audit but meets all requirements. He does not think more legislation would be helpful. But information, like the audit, can help districts, especially the state's numerous small districts, understand their responsibilities, he said.
"I'm hoping that was an eye opener to everyone who was listening," Robertson added.

I had gone to the ER on Monday night after my light pink spotting. They claimed to have seen the HB on little Sprout. I didn't see it. I went to followup today at my OB/GYN so I could go back to work. We had an u/s and no HB and no movement. Sprout had stopped growing at 8w5d (last Friday). I go in for my d&c tonight. My heart is broken. Then, to top things off, the hospital called and the lady was telling me all about her daughter and how she has a 4 year old and had 2 m/c and is now pregnant. WTH! Seriously!? You are calling to confirm my d&c and you tell me this? Wow. I will be complaining about her.
I wish you ladies the best of luck.

What are you waiting for? Apply today. Right now. Here.
What are you waiting for? Apply today. Right now. Here.
How did you learn your town's history?
Worn out textbooks in 4th grade social studies class? Awkward (dare I say boring?) student presentations in 10th grade? Dusty books from the library basement?
Steubenville, known as the City of Murals, chronicles their history a little differently…
From the Dean Martin's red carpet serenade near Kroger to the Market Street mural which shows business life in the early 1900s, there are about 25 larger-than-life murals around town which depict their historical events and everyday life of this once booming steel town.
1. Each mural is numbered and has an official sign similar to this
2. Steel Mill Memories: Honors the town's steel workers. With close proximity to the Ohio River, the coal of Appalachian mountains and vast oil reserves, this area was a perfect location for producing and processing steel. These mills were not just jobs, but helped to define Steubenville's culture.
In the words of a former steel worker:
"We built this entire community on the steel mills and because of that it wasn't just a job. We invested our lives in those mills! … And don't dare to say that we're living in the past, because we were born steel men and its kinda hard to work at Wal-Mart after that."
3. Banking Pioneers: As mills grew in number and profitability, general and specialty stores opened and the downtown business district flourished.
4. River Reflections: Ohio River was a common thoroughfare. It was cheaper to transport steel and products on barges than on the railroads.
5. Old Reliance Firehouse Mural: Firehouses were the pride of small towns like Steubenville and this mural shows the fire station's first steam pumper.
6. Ohio Bell Telephone Exchange, which opened in 1881, connected Steubenville with larger cities such as Cleveland.
7. Ohio River Oil Company: Once known as the "Middle East of America" Cleveland and eastern Ohio produced more oil than any other state in 1900.
8. Religion contributes to the history and culture of Steubenville. There are incredible and intricately built churches in the city, as well was the Franciscan University of Steubenville.
Steubenville looks forward to YouthWorks families and youth spending a week of their summer to serve in their city. In 2011, the town invited YouthWorks into this visual history of their town and we are honored to be part of the Steubenville family.

When he isn't sporting a red apron, helping with work projects, or giving a talk in Club, you can find him working at Children's Hope in California.]
I had just finished washing the last pair of feet for the summer in Logan, West Virginia. I was hot, smelly, and exhausted. All I could think was "We did it! Summer 2012…check!" My staff and I walked down the stairs from the gym where the participants were experiencing true servant-hood with their fathers, mothers, pastors, and teachers on the trip; we had stopped and washed their feet and prayed for them individually.
I took one last glimpse at the humid gymnasium before I went down the stairs, and then I saw one of the male adult leaders who really stuck out for me throughout the week. He was goofy, crazy, yet loving toward the kids in his youth group. His son was also on the trip.
And that was when I got to witness one of the manliest things I have ever experienced throughout my 3 summers with YouthWorks. I saw a man humble himself before God and begin to wash his son's feet. After he finished drying his son's feet, both had tears running down their faces. I saw them stand up, wrap their arms around each other and give the biggest bear hugs to each other while the father prayed for his son. That moment gave me chills; it made me realize how much of an influence we, as men, have on those around us and those that will soon be following in our footsteps.
Throughout a YouthWorks summer you can sometimes get misdirected in the ministry being done. You can look towards meals and shower times to be the most important of the day. Instead of focusing on the service being done in the community, the true worship taking place in Club, or the bonding happening between different church groups. We need to refocus our mindset to where it's not about us or what we do, but to where we can serve others and how can we glorify God in our actions.
One of the great things about a YouthWorks summer is that you experience so many unexpected obstacles and challenges that can change the outcome of a day or even a week. But it's those times that we look to God for guidance and lead others to Him, rather than around Him. When I saw the father praying with his son, it really made me think of how great God is and how much he loves and cares for us, no matter what. He wants to wrap his arms around us and give us the biggest bear hugs of our lives. I feel that as a man of God I have a purpose to lead others with integrity and love towards God.
I never would have realized how important those two things would be without the journey of YouthWorks. I guess that is why I continue on the YouthWorks ride for my 4th summer. I don't know what God has in store for me, but he knows. I need to put faith that his plan for me is being shaped by people I meet during these summer ministry experiences. So for those guys out there that are contemplating doing a YouthWorks summer, I strongly encourage you to take that step into action. You will never know what God has in store for you until you put your faith in this possibility.

After spending six summers working for YouthWorks, I've learnt a few lessons. One of those lessons I'll share (some I can't, you'll just have to figure them out for yourself… society calls that growth.) has been the importance of having a well thought out sound track for the summer. I can't tell you how many hours I've spent trying to burn the perfect mix CD for a long car ride or the ultimate kitchen clean up mix.
In an effort to ease you, the reader, of a little bit of the stress that I've put myself through trying to develop these flawless compilations of music, I put together my top three albums for this summer. Wherever you may find yourself this summer, if given the chance these tunes are sure to take up permanent residence on your iPod, iPhone, Laptop, CD Player or other music-playing device.
Fiction Family is a collaborative effort between Jon Foreman (Switch Foot) and Sean Watkins (Nickel Creek). It's a dream come true for those of us that appreciate soulful folk/Americana. Fiction family's new album Fiction Family Reunion will tantalize your eardrums with catchy, folksy guitar licks, Jon Foreman's uniquely soulful crooning and thoughtful lyrics. Fiction family is a great band for varying moments of the summer but especially when you're looking for a pick me up.
The Lone Bellow describes themselves as, "Brooklyn Country Music". Regardless of your opinion on country music as of late, there is no denying the tonal beauty of the music The Lone Bellow is throwing down. Charlie Peacock, the producer of the Civil Wars, produced the bands most recent album and it bares the marks of a uniquely talented producer. There is a particular raw and cutting element to this album that truly embodies the passionate and emotional lyrics that front man Zach Williams wrote to embody these songs. If you enjoy the willful ballads of The Civil Wars or the Brooklyn indie tunes of The National, or if you've never heard of these bands but have an appreciation for good, honest music – chances are you'll be jamming to this album in your car all summer long.
Saying hello to the rhythmical genius of "Leagues" is saying hello to the indie pop dance party you've been waiting for your whole life. The musical trio pumped out ten totally crank-able tunes for their debut full-length album. For those of you who were alive in 1990, you'll be interested to know that Tyler Burkum (former lead guitarist for Audio Adrenaline) now finds his musical home within the folds of Leagues. Grab this album and let it be the sound track for cleaning, cooking or just getting ready for the day and it is sure to help your day go from an okay to a really freaking awesome in no time flat.

If you happen to be visiting Harrisburg…
you might need to stop at Hershey's Chocolate World…
and if you happen to stop at Herhsey's Chocolate Word…
you'll probably need to take the FREE chocolate tour….
and if you take the FREE chocolate tour…
you'll probably see these…
and if you happen to see the singing cows
they'll probably tell you about ALL the delicious chocolate options that Hershey has to offer…
and you'll see how many of all those options have been made that day…
and if you keep hearing about ALL that chocolate by the time you get off the ride…
and you follow the scent of chocolate wafting from the gift shop…
and you hear "I Want Candy" blaring from the speakers [truth!]…
you'll probably feel a bit like this…
especially if your name happens to be Drew…
of course after you've had all that chocolate syrup you'll probably need a glass of milk…
or some ice cream…
which thankfully they have too.
It wouldn't be the Shrove Tuesday, or Fat Tuesday, or PANCAKE DAY (whichever you prefer) without a proper little CELEBRATION.
A few little facts we found about this day (courtesy of the e're trusty Wikipedia):
* In England people used to play mob football games… well, until they made something called the Highway Act 1835 which put the kibosh on too much football fun in the streets.
"Participants with frying pans race through the streets tossing pancakes into the air and catching them in the pan whilst running."
(Seriously?! How cool is THAT?)
* And pancake races are apparently NOT just limited to the oh-so-cool UK, people in Kansas (hello, oh-so COOL people of Kansas!) have a race AGAINST people in Olney, England.
How in the world is that even possible, you ask?
Read about it and see pictures from a Wired article here.
(I googled it just to be sure Wiki wasn't pulling our leg… gotta check your sources.)
Now, our health insurance company and ever so lovely Director of HR asked that we refrain from pancake races in the streets of Philadelphia for something called
"safety reasons"…
so instead of arming ourselves with frying pans we took to the streets and hit up a little café with BIG TASTE in our neighborhood, Green Eggs Café.
Where they have these…
just a little something called RED VELVET PANCAKES.
and a fruit panini & tiramisu french toast.
The end result?
From the Eastern Region to you and yours…

Rising Hope Perinatal Hospice Program
Rising Hope – When parents welcome a new life but must say goodbye at the same time
Learning that an unborn baby has a condition that might result in a very early death is devastating. But some mothers and fathers make the decision to continue their pregnancy and parent their infant for as long as he or she lives.
Rising Hope Perinatal Hospice Program grew out of Howard County General Hospital's Perinatal Bereavement program to offer physical, emotional and spiritual support as well as a range of other important services to parents who have made this decision. Mary Peroutka, founder of Rising Hope, said the program emphasizes the quality of life and tries to help parents find comfort and meaning in whatever time they may have with their baby.
Compassionate listening is the most important goal of the program – to help parents understand that they are not alone and will not be abandoned during this difficult time. Rising hope uses a multi-disciplinary team approach that includes obstetricians, perinatologists, labor and delivery nurses, neonatologists, NICU staff, chaplains and pastors, social workers, genetic counselors, therapists and traditional hospice professionals. Services include assistance in creating a plan of care and birth plan, resources for spiritual and religious support, creating memories using photographs and mementos, arranging home hospice care, and support groups for parents after their babies have passed away.
Read more in Johns Hopkins Nursing. For more information about Rising Hope Perinatal Hospice Program contact Mary Peroutka at (410) 884-4709 or email@example.com.

how to: debug Layout run failed
how to: debug Layout run failed
Just trying the new 4.2rc and much of my application just don't load (upgrade from 4.13)
On the initial load, I have a bunch of "Layout run failed". What is causing this and how to debug / fix this ?
14 Feb 2013 10:42 AM #2
Can you run your app inside the page analyzer example? It can capture all the details of the layout runs and I could look at the data it produces.
That example is just a page with an iframe so you would need to host the example on your server for it to work. It is discussed here - http://www.sencha.com/blog/optimizin...d-applicationsDon Griffin

Excellent. The page Analyser load fine. I'll need to dig into this to find what's wrong. I'll report back if there is anything interesting.
16 Jun 2013 11:04 PM #4
Hi Don,
Thank you for the suggestion, but does Page Analyzer really allow to catch what exactly layout causes "Layout run failed"? If so, it is really nice. But what about to log a message about a crashed layout to the console?
Firstly, some details how I came up with a solution for my current problem. If you do not want to read all the details, please follow almost to the end, where I am talking about the concrete suggestion.
Recently, I was investigating the page of our customer. The page throws "Layout run failed" and consists of ~1500 code lines in Ext.onReady. There is a very tiny chance to catch the problem point just investing/looking at this script. Also it might require some time trying to simplify the page step by step.
So, I tried to debug. A "Layout run failed" stack trace allowed me to find the place where the error is logged, but, unfortunately, it gives no clue what is the container and layout that the error happens with. The only thing I can see there is the Ext.remainingLayouts is more than 0, so, it means there was unsuccessful layout. But, as I said, no information about what the failed layout was. Resolving such issues can make the developers crazy (especially, not so experienced). Debugging the code I got the idea after looking at this code:
handleFailure: function () { // This method should never be called, but is need when layouts fail (hence the // "should never"). We just disconnect any of the layouts from the run and return // them to the state they would be in had the layout completed properly. var layouts = this.layouts, layout, key; Ext.failedLayouts = (Ext.failedLayouts || 0) + 1; for (key in layouts) { layout = layouts[key]; if (layouts.hasOwnProperty(key)) { layout.running = false; layout.ownerContext = null; } }
I think it should not be a problem to add the following in the handleFailure method:
if (layout.running === true) { Ext.log(Ext.String.format("The '{0}' layout has been crashed. Its owner container is {1}.", layout.type, layout.ownerContext.id)) }
17 Jun 2013 12:33 AM #5
I believe what you will see in the Page Analyzer is a red icon next to such layouts... unfortunately when a layout run fails it is likely that multiple layouts are not finished.
Knowing which layout is the culprit can be difficult because we cannot automatically know which of the incomplete layouts is broken. Generally the process of finding the root cause is to look at any unfinished layout and try to see if the information it needs is available - indicating that this layout should have been able to finish and is possibly the root of the problem.
From the Page Analyzer you can also export the layout run in JSON to share with others or post here. It often time contains enough information to narrow things down a lot.Don Griffin

Failed layout.jpg
Finally, could you comment this, please? The idea is providing a developer with a possibility to see a failed layout and its container in the log without a necessity to run Page Analyzer.
17 Jun 2013 11:24 PM #7
The original layout diagnostics provided by Ext.diag.layout.Context (normally excluded) are based on logging but became pretty useless when there was more than one or a few things reported (which was most of the time). You can try these diagnostic overrides and see if they help you - they may in this case.
It looks like the layout has no data on which it is waiting (that would appear in the Triggers column). I would imagine some logic issue that caused the layout to not complete perhaps based on some combination of configuration options. Just a guess there. If you want to post the JSON I can take a closer look.Don Griffin

The diag namespace is in the src folder of the SDK but not in the builds. You can require it in dev mode if you want:
In this case, the Show All Triggers shows that the failing layout requested 3 properties:
portalpanel-1020-body.height:dom portalpanel-1020-body.width:dom portalpanel-1020.containerChildrenSizeDone:dom
To debug in to this you could add a if/debugger (the "if" testing for the id of the one column layout) to the calculate method of Ext.layout.container.Auto to see what is preventing the layout from completing. It will probably run more than once as it waits for data that it needs but its last call should return without setting "me.done = false".
Looking at the code there, the only conditions are that calculateItems returns true and the containerChildrenSizeDone be in the DOM (meaning results of child layouts are flushed). Both look like they should be true.Don Griffin

Thank you, Don.
Re: Ext.require('Ext.diag.layout.ContextItem');
Yes, the Page Analyzer output looks much more readable. As far as I can understand with "diag.layout" I just see a layout run tree in the console as text, which I see in Page Analyzer as a tree component. Though with "diag.layout" I see many "[W] Bad" warnings that is probably worth to investigate. Maybe it might be worth to show those warnings in Page Analyzer as well in a separate tab or else? Just a suggestion. Anyway, those warnings seems to be not related to the initial problem. At least, at first glance. Anyway, it is nice to know about the "diag.layout" feature, I can be helpful Thank you for that tip.
Re: Layout run failed
I think you are right in your guesses. Overflowing or, to be more precise, vertical scrolling cause a Column layout to be crashed. The calculateOverflow method marks the layout me.done = false and it is not getting done anymore in spite of the fact that the calculate method is called twice after that. It looks a bug. Finally, I were able to strip down the real page to get a more or less simple test case with a bit of layout overnesting.
Avoid vertical scrolling as a possible solution
As a possible solution for now we can avoid vertical scrolling. For that we are setting flex: 1 for some VBox item instead of explicit height. By the way, VBox seems to require flex or height settings to be explicitly set up for its items. The same with HBox and flex and width settings. Our customers often have issues with theirs layouts if they don't set up these settings. It would be worth to have, at least, a warning in the dev mode with a message like "flex or height settings are missed. You might need to set one" for a VBox and "flex or width settings are missed. You might need to set one" for an HBox. What do you think?

My 9 year old is most proud of his contribution to our Sweet Potato Tortilla Chips & my youngest, who hopes to be a chef one day, especially loves that he suggested more lime in the Mild Green Mojo! As a mom & CEO I'm so thankful my kids enjoy the important role they play at Late July! I'd love to hear how other family businesses incorporate their children.

BrowserCounter 1.3.0 is a small (well, ok, not that small) Perl program (NOT a CGI) that scans
any standard 'combined' (ECLF) format web log
and produces a table summarizing what browsers people have used to
access a web server.
You will need the GD::Graph module
if you want the pie charts (available from CPAN or PPM repositories). The progam will still run without it - you just won't get any pie charts.
An example
of a report is available. You can get the script (right-click to save it) here as well. A sample configuration file is also available.
The configuration file is only necessary if you want to change the report layout or options.
If you like and use this program - let me know - I would love to hear about it.
BrowserCounter - A program for generating web browser usage statistics (v. 1.3.0)
A fast, portable, and highly configurable web browser log analysis program
for analyzing standard and non-standard format web log files.
Required: Perl 5.6 or later
Optional: GD and GD::Graph (if pie charts are wanted)
Time::HiRes (improves precision of performance metrics)
This program is licensed under the same conditions and terms as Perl itself.
This means that you can, at your option, redistribute is and/or modify it under
either the terms the GNU Public License (GPL) version 1 or later, or under the
Perl Artistic License.
See http://dev.perl.org/licenses/
By default it generates a report on the platorms (Mac, Windows, Linux, etc) used
by web browsers, a summary of the 'brand' (MSIE, Firefox, Mozilla, Safari, etc),
and summaries of the brands broken down by major and minor version. The default
configuration is at the end of the script and is documented within it.
It performs extensive filtering of processed log entries to generate as nearly
'pure' results as possible. This means in practice that 90% of entries
are excluded because of statistical biases caused by differential
browser behaviors such as loading/not loading images, loading/not loading
stylesheet, loading/not loading of javascript and ActiveX, as well as
more subtle biases such as image loading sequence.
By default, it also exlcudes identifiable web crawling robots from the statistics.
These behaviors can be changed, if desired, by using a custom configuration file.
The program will generate pie chart graphs of the analyzed statistics if the
'GD' and 'GD::Graph' modules are installed (available from CPAN http://cpan.org/ and
from various PPM repositories). If not available, the pie charts will be omitted
from generated reports.
You can generate an initial configuration configuration file using the
'--new_config_file' option: browsercounter.pl --new_config_file=example_configuration.conf
The configuration file contains documentation for its options along with
a template that can be used to reformat the output report pretty much
in any way you want.
The command line options for the program are as follows:
--usage or --help
Prints this usage message and exits.
Saves a new initial configuration file to the specified file.
--report_title="Browser Report"
This allows setting the report title. The default is 'Browser Report'.
The path to the directory you want to save the output report to. The
default configuration is /var/www/html/statistics/browser
If the output directory does not exist the program will die with an error.
The --output_dir commandline option overrides any configuration file
'output_dir' specification.
Specifies the name of the output report file. By default, index.html
The --output_file commandline option overrides any configuration file
'output_file' specification.
The path to a configuration file for controlling the report. The default
is to an internally specified configuration.
Example: browsercounter.pl --config_file=/var/www/configs/browsercounter.conf
Any files listed on the command line after all options have been processed
are assumed to be log files for processing and override the logfiles specified
within the configuration.
The program can handle gzip (.gz), compress (.z), and bzip2 (.bz2) compressed
logfiles as long as 'gzip' and 'bzip2' are in the PATH. You can add additional
compression program support via the configuration file.
Multiple logfiles are supported both on the commandline or via the configuration file.
Simple usage example:
browsercounter.pl --report_title="My Report" --output_dir=/var/www/html/statistics --output_file=browsers.html /var/log/httpd/access_log
Note: BROWSERCOUNTER IS NOT A CGI SCRIPT. It is intended to be run periodically
(say once a day, week or even month) via a system job such as 'cron' and
generate static HTML pages for viewing.
You could probably modify it to work as a CGI with a modest amount of effort,
but it is not a good idea: Log analysis is a resource intensive exercise and
for logs of more than a few megabytes takes a noticable amount of time
(a half-million line log takes roughly 30 seconds to process on a 3Ghz Pentium

VIDEO – Denmark: The Danish Pølsevogn (hot dog)
Hotdogs and hotdog stands are popular almost everywhere, but I don't think anywhere takes the concept of sausage and bread as seriously as the Danes. A Danish hotdog stand called a pølsevogn can be found on almost any major street or torv in Denmark.

Haier, the maker of refrigerators, washing machines and other home appliances, has the strongest corporate brand of any Chinese company, according to a worldwide survey of Financial Times readers.
The Qingdao-based company was voted top in all the categories in the survey, which measured perceptions of quality, trustworthiness, innovation and management, as well as branding. Lenovo, the company that this year acquired the personal computer business of International Business Machines, came second.
The purpose of the survey, which was conducted with McKinsey, the management consultancy, was to find out what business people thought about Chinese companies and their products and services. The 30 companies in the survey were selected by the FT and McKinsey. More than 3,500 FT readers from over 70 countries took part in the survey, held this month.
Branding has emerged over the last year as one of the main challenges facing China's leading businesses. While Chinese companies have won plaudits over the last decade for goods manufactured at low cost and to increasingly high standards, few have been able to make an impact on global markets with their own brands.
Readers were also asked to rate the companies on brand awareness and to estimate their prospects for becoming leading global brands within 10 years. Haier came tenth in current awareness, but was ranked second for future potential behind Lenovo, whose acquisition of IBM's personal computer division brought it the rights to the Think trademark.

Recently Microsoft has been gaining an increasing amount of attention when it comes to Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8. On the tablet side of things, we've seen that Windows 8 offers something different from traditional Windows and even is taking the change a step further and rolling out their own hardware in the form of the new Microsoft Surface tablet.
While Windows Phone 7 hasn't exactly sold like hotcakes, it does have a small fanbase and Windows Phone 8 looks like it has the potential to increase that fanbase with better enterprise features, the use of standard NT core from Windows 8 and overall tighter integration with Windows 8 and RT (The ARM version of Windows 8 for tablets).
Since Windows Phone 8 seems set on a course for change in the mobile universe its not surprising that there has been speculation of a Surface phone or even a RIM Windows Phone device. For the Surface Phone, it seems at least somewhat feasible that if MS is willing to do their own hardware in the tablet space, why not take that a step further with a mobile phone, too?
Thus enters the Microsoft Surface Phone concept by Jonas Daehnert, even though Microsoft has already firmly stated they have no interest in making their own phone hardware. With tablets, MS is entering a space where they haven't proven themselves and so it makes sense that MS wants to release the Surface as a cool way of showing off what Windows 8 and RT have to offer. A sleek, sexy MS tablet is a good way to kickstart their aggressive new mobile campaign, and can still compliment other Windows 8 offerings from its partners. Okay, so why not in the phone space? First off, everyone knows what Windows Phone is, even if it hasn't seen great adoption so far. With Windows 8, many still just assume a Windows 8 tablet has the same ole' Windows on it (just like Windows XP, Vista, and 7 tablets)- so Surface is a great way to get the public's attention and say, "Hey, this isn't your grandpappy's Windows tablet". While Windows Phone 8 offers changes, partners like HTC and Nokia are established in that space, and a drastic hardware move doesn't seem needed- yet. It's still possible MS will re-visit the idea, just don't expect a Surface Phone announcement anytime in the very near future.
As for RIM, its no secret that Blackberry is in trouble. With Blackberry 10 going through delays, concepts like the one from Michal Bonikowski have popped up, exploring the idea of RIM abandoning their self-made OS business model and instead switching to Windows Phone 8. While the idea is interesting, RIM doesn't seem to be giving up on B10, and continues to work hard on trying to get it out as soon as they can. While I think RIM's days are numbered unless someone buys them out eventually, the switch to another OS is either never going to happen or at least won't happen until after B10 comes out, and that's providing it turns out to be a total flop. Keep in mind RIM isn't big in the US anymore, but globally it still has fan, especially in the Asian market.
While I wouldn't hold my breath for either of these concept devices, they still look awfully cool and help provide food for thought at the very least.
[ source ]
this seems to be a great phone ……………..i personally think that microsoft should convert this dream into truth………….
I hope MS buys RIM and impliments the BES service with its Exchange mail servers. This would give the wp8 a huge leap in the market. Imagine the RIM service along with being able to roll out CMS services with a wp8 image thats managable as well.
Anyone else see the resembelance of the Surface phone to the Zune HD?
If there is a Surface Phone I will get it immediately. I hope RIM turns towards Windows Phone for help because personally I feel Blackberry is destined to die like Symbian and extra help from their side can help MS to boost the wonderful WP sales.
The surface phone concept looks amazing, would totally buy it if it was offered on Verizon. The phone looks great, I am very intrigued with WP8. Hopefully they will have a slew of amazing phones by the time I'm ready to upgrade.

Joel Ginsberg was a sophomore at a college in Dallas when the social anxiety he had felt throughout his life morphed into an all-consuming hopelessness. He struggled to get out of bed, and even the simplest tasks felt herculean.
"The world lost its color," he told me. "Nothing interested me; I didn't have any motivation. There was a lot of self-doubt."
He thought getting some exercise might help, but it was hard to motivate himself to go to the campus gym.
"So what I did is break it down into mini-steps," he said. "I would think about just getting to the gym, rather than going for 30 minutes. Once I was at the gym, I would say, 'I'm just going to get on the treadmill for five minutes.'"
Eventually, he found himself reading novels for long stretches at a time while pedaling away on a stationary bike. Soon, his gym visits became daily. If he skipped one day, his mood would plummet the next.
"It was kind of like a boost," he said, recalling how exercise helped him break out of his inertia. "It was a shift in mindset that kind of got me over the hump."
Depression is the most common mental illness—affecting a staggering 25 percent of Americans—but a growing body of research suggests that one of its best cures is cheap and ubiquitous. In 1999, a randomized controlled trial showed that depressed adults who took part in aerobic exercise improved as much as those treated with Zoloft. A 2006 meta-analysis of 11 studies bolstered those findings and recommended that physicians counsel their depressed patients to try it. A 2011 study took this conclusion even further: It looked at 127 depressed people who hadn't experienced relief from SSRIs, a common type of antidepressant, and found that exercise led 30 percent of them into remission—a result that was as good as, or better than, drugs alone.
Though we don't know exactly how any antidepressant works, we think exercise combats depression by enhancing endorphins: natural chemicals that act like morphine and other painkillers. There's also a theory that aerobic activity boosts norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in mood. And like antidepressants, exercise helps the brain grow new neurons.
But this powerful, non-drug treatment hasn't yet become a mainstream remedy. In a 2009 study, only 40 percent of patients reported being counseled to try exercise at their last physician visit.
Instead, Americans are awash in pills. The use of antidepressants has increased 400 percent between 1988 and 2008. They're now one of the three most-prescribed categories of drugs, coming in right after painkillers and cholesterol medications.
After 15 years of research on the depression-relieving effects of exercise, why are there still so many people on pills? The answer speaks volumes about our mental-health infrastructure and physician reimbursement system, as well as about how difficult it remains to decipher the nature of depression and what patients want from their doctors.
Jogging as medicine
"I am only a doctor, not a dictator," insists Madhukar H. Trivedi, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. "I don't tell patients what to do."
Trivedi is one of the forefathers of the movement to combat melancholy with physical exertion. He's authored multiple studies on the exercise-depression connection, and workouts are now one of the many weapons in his psychiatric arsenal. But whether any given treatment is right for a particular person is entirely up to that patient, he said.
"I talk about the pros and cons about all the treatment options available—exercise, therapy, and pills," he said. "If a patient says, 'I'm not really keen on medication and therapy, I want to use exercise,' then if it's appropriate, they can try it. But I give them caveats about how they should be monitoring it. I don't say, 'Go exercise and call me if it doesn't work.'"
Here's how he goes about this unconventional type of prescription:
First, Trivedi must gently raise the idea of exercise as a treatment option—patients often don't know to ask. (There are no televised pharmaceutical ads for running, he notes.) He then tells patients about the studies, the amount of exercise that would be required, and the heart rate they'd need to reach. Based on a recent study by Trivedi and others, he recommends three to five sessions per week. Each one should last 45 to 60 minutes, and patients should reach 50 to 85 percent of their maximum heart rates.
He and the patient then blueprint a weekly workout schedule together. Not doing enough sessions, he warns, would be like a diabetic person "using insulin only occasionally." He encourages patients to use FitBits or other monitoring gadgets to track their progress—and to guilt them off the couch.
Trivedi says this approach rests on three key elements. "One, you have to be very clear with patients that just because exercise has been shown to be efficacious, it doesn't work for everyone. Two, the dose of the treatment is very important; you can't just go for a stroll in the park. And three, there has to be a constant vigilance about the monitoring of symptoms. If the treatment is not working, you need to do something."

Garden History | Lindeth Fell Country House Hotel
We have a very special garden at Lindeth Fell and people who are very proud to look after it. That's not to say we don't occassionally curse it for growing to quickly or not drying out as quick as we'd like [just like every other gardener], but all is all, its partly what makes the Lindeth Fell experience so unique.
The garden was designed by Thomas Mawson, born on the 5th May 1861 in Scorton, Lancashire. Due to poverty, he was forced to leave school at 12, and he worked alongside his uncle in the building trade [but who also sparked his enthusiasm for gardens].
After a spell in London after the death of his father, he moved to Windermere, where he set up 'Lakeland Nurseries' with his two brothers. This was successful and allowed Thomas to concentrate on his growing passion: garden design. Noteable gardens locally are: Langdale Chase, Holehird, Brockhole and Holker Hall, all done around the turn of the Century. Lindeth Fell was designed in 1907 demonstrating that Thomas was still keen to take on local projects, even though his talent had taken him throughout Britain, Europe and even Canada.
He died on November 14th 1933 and is buried only a mile away from Lindeth Fell at Bowness Cemetery, close to many of his very best garden designs. His legacy is very special to us and if you are interested in learning more then author Elizabeth Kissack published a biography of Thomas Mawson in 2006; 'The Life of Thomas Hayton Mawson, Landscape Architect 1861-1933', search for " ISBN 0955365300" in Google, usually priced at £11.99. This is an attractive 100-page paperback book, profusely illustrated, and largely written from a Lake District perspective from someone with more of a passion for gardens than proofreading!

Former Chicago Police Cmdr. Jon Burge | AP file photo
Updated: November 19, 2012 3:09PM
When former Chicago Police Cmdr. Jon Burge was sent off to prison, that didn't exactly close the case on police torture in Chicago.
About 100 men say they are languishing in prison as a result of statements extracted through torture by Burge and his Midnight Crew cabal in the 1970s and 1980s.
No one knows how many of those men are innocent of the crimes for which they were convicted. But we must get to the bottom of those cases — now. The men already have been in prison for decades.
On Tuesday, lawyers from the MacArthur Justice Center and the People's Law Office filed a class-action petition asking that these men, all African Americans, get a fair hearing. Former Gov. James R. Thompson, former U.S. Attorneys Thomas Sullivan and Dan Webb, former Chicago Police Supt. Richard Brzeczek and other top legal figures filed a friend-of-the-court brief in support.
Three years ago, Illinois set up a special commission to investigate whether police torture sent innocent men to prison. But in an astounding example of indifference, the Legislature this summer let funding lapse, even after the commission completed work on some cases, finding five in which torture claims appeared to be credible.
Earlier this month, at the urging of Gov. Pat Quinn, the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority came up with a $160,000 grant to get the torture commission out of mothballs. But even if a revived commission documents more possible torture cases, the law provides no clear remedy. That's why the class-action petition needs to go forward.
In the years since these men were sent away, we have learned how Burge's crew used electric shocks, merciless beatings and mock executions to extract statements. The inmates who say they experienced those horrors may well be telling the truth.
Earlier this year, the Illinois Supreme Court ruled in another case that no convictions may rest even in part on statements obtained through torture.
That's exactly right. Let's get at the truth and let justice prevail at last.

having several lbs of garlic still to go,
but today i tried another version of putting
up the garlic.
peeled, cut off the ends and any spots of
rot, then ran the garlic through the meat
grinder we've used since *mumble* years ago.
i'd forgotten about it and was pining for a
juicer, but could not come up with the funds
so decided this year to try something less
the first version i tried i chopped the
garlic by hand and then packed it into a
small jar and topped the jar off with
lemon juice before putting it in the freezer.
chopping took too long. the next few cups
i used the hand blender to grind the garlic
up with the lemon juice in there.
those jars were used to cook up some lasagna
a few days ago and the flavor was acceptable
to the head cook. they'd been in the freezer
for two or three weeks.
the head cook expressed her preference for
chopped garlic over the blenderized version so
that left me with many lbs still to go and no
easy way to put it up. today i recalled the
meat grinder and got it out and ran a lb of
garlic through it to check the texture and to
see how it went. it looks pretty good still
has some chunks, but also packs into the jars
with the lemon juice just fine. so that was
done and now i know the method i'll use for
the rest of it. yay!
time to get back to peeling...
