Twisty 'stairscraper' gives everyone their own garden
One of the downsides of urban living is that green space is usually at a premium. This skyscraper adds a twist so that every apartment gets a big back yard.
Nàbito Architects' 'stairscraper' design turns the roof of every apartment unit into a garden for the next apartment up by shifting each unit around in a corkscrew shape, stuffing suburban sprawl into an urban footprint. While you don't get the same kind of density as a traditional apartment building, it's a much more appealing design and it's cheaper to construct since you're basically just stacking identical modules on top of one another and then skewing them into a spiral.
Of course, designs like this are always a compromise: by putting in a garden, you're leaving less space for the rest of your apartment, and it looks like the footprint of each level has to be kept pretty small in order to make sure that the levels beneath get enough sunlight. I'd say it would be worth it for the extra green space and the view, but good luck getting your soccer ball back if you kick it over the fence.
Look for the stairscraper next time you're in Abu Dhabi, since it's actually going to be built there.

well I am glad to see young people interested in electronics. I started myself at 5 yrs old when my dad and I built a crystal set and I was hooked. that was 1954 and I have never looked back I got my MSEE from UCLA in 1977 and the life in electronics has been very good to me. all I can say is pick up some used text books and read, experiment, read everything you can. I also became a ham at age 12 that was 53 years ago and I too love electronics, it's never boring.
the best of luck
I tested the circuit on step 3 and when you rotate the pot from 0% to 60%, the output voltage barely changes (around 22v as expected), and from then it starts to drop dramatically until you reached 100%. However, if you change the value of R1 to 300 ohm, you get a much more smooth variation.
Depending on the LED, not using a resistor (even at 3.3V) will shorten the life of the LED and cause it to be too bright.
If you only group 2-4 wires, then you cannot safely utilize the full amperage output of the PSU. If you are unsure about anything, then get an "ATX Breakout Board".
A switch should not be an an option, but a requirement. But, the switch of a surge protector is a suitable substitute (as long as it is within your immediate reach).
Leave the fan inside the case and connected where it is or else connected to the yellow wire (not the red). If your case is so cramped that you feel the need to move the fan to the outside, then chances are whatever is cramping that space will affect/reduce the airflow over the heatsinks and not a good idea. Just shorten the wires and put the LM338 circuit on the outside. If the fan is too loud, then upgrade it. Just ensure you compare the CFM (cubic feet per minute) in the datasheet of the current fan with the one you plan to purchase. The datasheets (or manufactures website) will also tell you how loud the fans are.
Also, electrical tape is NOT a suitable substitute for heatshrink as the heat can cause it to come loose. Unless you hotglue the end of the electrical tape.
Have twice as much heatshrink, hot glue, and zip-ties than you anticipate on using. Home Depot sells a very nice heatshrink variety pack. I would also recommend using the smaller size hot glue gun to reduce the mess.
Thank u
You can use the LM350, but you can only get about 3 amps. The LM338 will offer you 5 amps. But, you will not get the full 12V...some will be lost in the circuit.
If you do not need 22+V, then clip the -12V line and put a large blob of hot glue on the end of it and just use the black GND wires.
Do I use ALL the wires? take every black wire and put them together, every red, every orange, blue (well, blue with a white stripe)... ? also, do i use a 10w, 10 ohm resistor or do i need a bigger one? thanks!
The more wires of the same color you tie together...only increases the amount of amps you can pull without melting any wires.
10ohm 10W should be fine for most applications.
I would use an LM338, as it will offer a higher amperage output. Did you referece the datasheet when building the circuit?
Not a good idea. Doing so will introduce more "electrical noise" into the system and cause unreliable output voltages. Stick with a power resistor.
Thank you for this great tutorial. It has worked for me...
But today, I used it for half an hour. Suddenly, it has stopped working. I've tried to switch it on and off, but nothing. Just a little buzzing when I used the switch. I've opened the case and looked for a short, but everything has seemed to be OK.
Just to know: I was using the -12V and +12V for an electrolysis.
What could be the problem?
Probably...just use the +12V and GND.
hi friend
Currently I'm working with some dc motors and i need negative voltage with high current, but when I connect the GND of the "power supply 1" to the 12V of the "power supply 2", to use the GND of "power supply 2" as -12V, i have a short circuit, and therefore the "power supply 2" is switched off. Is there some way to get -12V with high current?
Are you trying to daisy chain two PSU's? Or does your PSUs have a 12V1 and 12V2?
You cannot get a high current from the -12V rail. You're best option is to use an H-Bridge and a flyback diode. There's plenty on info on those here and on YouTube.
There is no need to isolate anything.
You'll probably need to isolate the ground of your wall plug from the power supplies plugs. That way you won't get a shortcircuit through your house wiring.
I put mine in a Subwoofer case. Great instructions! I blogged about mine here:
To reduce the speed the fan spins, why not hooking it to the 5v line instead of the 3.3v?
-5v, -12v or +5v, +12v? what are those? and whats with the plus, minus? i thought 12v was 12 v?
How would these read on a tester? I want to use this mainly to power an Electrolyte Rust Removal tank (13 gallon tub) and it really only needs to be like, 12v dc with about 2 amps... But for Amps, the more I can safely get, the better I guess. With 2A I'd most likly be leaving it running for up to 8 hrs at a clip. Thoughts? I have a Delll, 305W PSU its like a P/N: N305N-00 or something like that. please see my next comment...
Voltage is a potential difference between two points, where one is typically 'ground'. A negative voltage means that it has a negative voltage potential when referenced to ground. Voltage then flows from a point with a higher potential to one with a lower one.
Think of it kind of like elevations with ground being sea level. Anything higher than sea level has a + elevation, and anything below sea level is a - elevation. But ground can also be just any arbitrary reference point. For example, our above "sea level" could be changed to say the elevation of the first floor in your house. Anything above it has a + elevation and below a - elevation. Yet in reference to sea level everything has a + elevation.
The reason there are +/- voltages in electrical applications is because you sometimes need voltage differentials that are lower than ground. Audio is a common application.
As all that applies to this project though, a basic reason for having +/- voltages is to allow for a wider range of voltage outputs than just the 3.3, 5 and 12. For example if connected a device between -3.3v and +5v, you would have 8.3v. Between +12v and +5v you get +7v. Between -3.3v and -12v you get 8.7v. That is if you connect + to the higher voltage output and - to the lesser output.
I was recently researching the subject, and the most to the point explanation I found was this - http://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/10322/what-is-negative-voltage
Pin Number, Voltage / Name, Color of Wire.
1 +3.3 VDC* Orange
2 +3.3 VDC* Orange
3 COM Black
4 +5VDC Red
5 COM Black
6 +5 VDC Red
7 COM Black
8 P_OK Gray
9 +5 VFP Purple (Whats VFP?)
10 +12 VBDC White (Whats VBDC?)
11 +12 VBDC White
12 +3.3 VDC* Orange
13 +3.3 VDC*/SE* Orange
14 ? 12 VDC Blue
15 COM Black
16 PS-ON Green
17 COM Black
18 COM Black
19 COM Black
21 +5 VDC Red
22 +5 VDC Red
23 +5 VDC Red
24 COM Black
*The orange +3.3 VDC output wires must be 16 AWG. The +3.3 VDC terminals are high current type (9 A current rating/Molex-HCS type).
*The +3.3VDC/SE is a brown sense wire for +3.3VDC and is optional.
What do I do with them?
Any help would be great.
I've made a few supplies, +/-12V, +5V, +3.3V (No -5V.) out of the 200W supplies from a bunch of old Optiplex desktops.. usually use a 30-Ohm, 5W resistor across the +5. Been able to run gadget projects, Amateur Radio equipment, (with little to NO noise, surprisingly.) external hard drives, even charge Gel-Cell batteries from them.
It also depends on the condition of the supply... Brand New? Pulled from a working computer? or pulled from a failed computer? If the last, suspect even the supply may be bad, and NOT a good candidate for conversion. (See remark below I made to Coolinst, about the one that went up in smoke.)
There are some circuits for ( http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v472/n1np/local/manual_fan_controller.jpg for example) for manual control, but thermal control would require making a circuit that uses a thermal varister in place of the potentiometer... most of the time, I'd simply leave the noisy fan be, as it's doing its job, and unless noise is a problem (needing quiet for recording, etc.) it's not worth baking the supply, but slowing the fan.
Most supplies have a built-in speed control now, and the last few supplies I've converted, I replaced the straight-wired fan with a thermal circuit & fan (if it fits) from another supply I've scrapped.
I am putting one of these together and have come across something that I might be getting wrong....
In mocking up the LM317 circuit in breadboard, I have got the thing metering -11v to +11v??? I am using one of the black ground wires on the black side of the volt meter, but cant figure out why I am not just getting positive voltages??? Could the diode be faulty? Or is this in fact correct?
Any help appreciated...
The way you are measuring, it is correct.
reg set for max: meas +22var(actual +23)-->R1-->R2--> -12-->psu gnd= +11v
reg set for min: meas +22var(actual +1)-->R1-->R2--> -12-->psu gnd= -11v
0V has to become new gnd or (0V adj)

Student E-Firm Projects
Taking the concept of capstone projects and real world experiences a step further. The e-Firm projects offer companies a unique way for evaluating potential future employees while letting student teams apply their knowledge and practice their skills in a real-world experience. Under the supervision of faculty and corporate representatives, teams work on actual projects with partner companies. E-Firm 2010 marks the third year of the department's initiative to bring real-life business experiences into the classroom and included students from the following areas:
- computer information systems
- electronic business design
- telecommunications and information management
- nursing—both undergraduate and graduate
Students were screened before registering for the course to ensure a high level of quality learning and consistent skill levels. Each student assumed a business role (such as business analyst, project manager, web designer, and system developer) and worked with their team to complete all phases of the e-firm project.
Bronson Health Care worked with teams of students and faculty from the colleges of business and health and human services
Bronson Health Care Group #1
Prior to the implementation of an organization-wide health care information system, the administration at Bronson wanted to understand the barriers and problems with the current system, as well as measure end user satisfaction during the different stages of system implementation.
For accomplishing this task, a collaborative project team was created in September 2010. The team is composed of two Bronson corporate mentors and two WMU students -- one graduate from the Bronson School of Nursing at College of Health and Human Services and one CIS undergraduate from the Department of Business Information Systems at Haworth College of Business. The goal of this project is to produce a framework for developing a survey template that will allow Bronson to expand or reuse, when needed, during or after the implementation of the planned health care information system. Bronson wants the final deliverable, a framework for developing the survey, to allow the survey to be electronic, expandable, and extensible for reuse with different audiences and different population sizes. This project is expected to provide tangible and continuous benefits to the users and the organization as a whole.
"As a part of this project I gained valuable real world experience as well as the opportunity to learn how to be a leader in a business environment."
Michael Burns, BBA '11, CIS Major
"This project has been amazing to work on. The partnership between students with IT experience and students with Clinical experience, as well as faculty members from WMU and mentors from Bronson has been a wonderful, collaborative, learning experience."
Vivien R. Mudgett, RNC, MS '11, Nursing Manager, Labor and Delivery, Bronson Methodist Hospital
Bronson Health Care Group #2
Because of Bronson's strategic plan to lead the health care industry in the use of automated systems, the execu- tive leadership want to understand existing inefficiencies and improve the process for approving and creating their intranet websites. To achieve this objective, three adminis- trative mentors and three WMU students—two CIS majors from the Department of Business Information Systems at Haworth College of Business and one nursing graduate from WMU Bronson School of Nursing at the College of Health and Human Services began the work as a project team. Th primary goal of this project is to design an approval proces that efficiently models and tracks the website approval pro cess. After extensive analysis of the current system, the fin project deliverable consists of a model that utilizes Share- Point to reduce redundancies and inefficiencies. This proje will serve as model for the future integration of people and technology to improve business processes.
"Through this collaborative project with Bronson mentors, I gained in-depth understanding of real-world business process analysis that normally cannot be acquired from the textbook. In addition, working with CIS students also expedited my mastery of UML tools."
Natasha A. Watson, MS '11, Nursing
"Being a part of this unique collaboration, between business and nursing students and healthcare industry leaders, has made me confident that my WMU education has well prepared me for the challenges I will face in the professional world."
George Sesi, BBA '10, TIM
"Working with everyone involved with this project was truly a remarkable experience. I not only had the opportunity to contribute to a real world project, but I was also able to meet and work with extraordinary people who challenged me to seek and discover new ways of solving problems."
Alex Smith, BBA, BS '11 Arts and CIS (double major)

We've always bought gifts for my kids' teachers but it was much easier when they were youngers and only had 1-2 different teachers each year. Now that they are older and are switching classes, I'm not sure what to do. I'm leaning towards still getting each teacher a gift but with 7 different periods each, I'm not going to be able to afford as nice of gifts as we used to.
Do your teens still bring each teacher a gift for the holidays? What do you usually give?

Is competition actually a form of envy and jealousy?
I meet some chiropractors who, instead of reaching out to the new chiropractor in town or supportive of the chiropractor down the street who uses a vastly different technique, are inclined to see these as competitors. To be destroyed and eliminated!
This zero sum game of thinking comes from the misguided notion that there is a finite number of new patients to go around. Apparently, so the thinking goes, if those other chiropractors get new patients then you won't get them.
This is absurd.
Turns out, if more people in your community understood chiropractic, there would be such a demand for what you do there wouldn't be enough chiropractors to go around! A shortage of new patients simply means you haven't been telling the chiropractic story to enough strangers. When you create new patients you no longer have to compete for new patients.

Pension proposal to be considered
Date: May 7, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
This week, the town's three pension boards will review a proposal that calls for the town paying back more than $21 million in unfunded liabilities over a 20-year period.
The town's pension actuary, Foster & Foster, engaged in talks with the state's Division of Retirement, which has already agreed to the proposal, known as the 10-20-30 plan.
Finance Director Tom Kelley said the millions of dollars in losses that occurred between 2000 and 2002 would be paid back in 20 years, instead of 30 years.
The 30-year amortization method that the town currently uses was a point of contention with former state actuary Charles Slavin, who retired this year.
Kelley said the approval from the state "is a huge break," considering that months earlier the Division of Retirement wanted the town to pay back its losses over a period of seven years.
The 20-year amortization plan calls for the town to pay approximately $2.1 million per year until the losses are made up. The town would have been forced to pay approximately $3 million per year if losses were to be paid over seven years.
The town's contribution to its pension plan this year, which is already accounted for in the town's current budget, is $1.7 million.
If the 20-year plan is approved, the town will be required to pump an additional $400,000 per year into the plans, with $300,000 being used to pay off losses and $100,000 being used to fund the plans moving forward.
Kelley said that because the average remaining life of the town's 30-year amortization method is now 23 years, the town is really only accounting for an additional three years of funding requirements.
Funding for the plans moving forward will also change if the proposal is approved.
"Instead of using 20 years to amortize unfunded liabilities going forward, you amortize over 10 years," Kelley said. "This adds some volatility to the level of payments because you have a shorter period of time to amortize losses."
But if the town sees gains in its plan after implementation, it could reduce its annual funding amount or continue to fund the plans aggressively to pay down unfunded liabilities.
"We saw it (the proposal) as a positive," said Kelley, who will explain the proposal to the pension boards this week.
In the meantime, the town has stopped using the services of Merritt Island-based Chad Little Actuaries, whom the town hired as an independent actuary to review its pension situation.
The town spent approximately $8,000 for the services of Little, who was expected to come up with another pension proposal. Little has reviewed the proposal, Kelley said, and finds it acceptable.
Vice Mayor Robert Siekmann said the proposal does not solve the town's problems.
"I'm happy to see that what is proposed has far less of an impact," Siekmann said. "But finding an additional $400,000 for years to come tempers the relief. That's still a big number."

Remote Procedure Calls
The best way to test the RPC application is to run both the client and the server (the caller and callee) on the the same machine. Assuming that you are in the directory where both the client and the server reside, start the server by entering the command:
avg_svc &
The rpcinfo utility can be used to verify that the server is running. Typing the command:
$ rpcinfo -p localhostgives the following output:
program vers proto port 100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper 22855 1 udp 1221 22855 1 tcp 1223Note that 22855 is the program number of our application from avg.x and 1 is shown as the version number. Since 22855 is not a registered RPC application, the rightmost column is blank. If we add the following line to the /etc/rpc file:
avg 22855rpcinfo then gives the following output:
program vers proto port 100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper 22855 1 udp 1221 avg 22855 1 tcp 1223 avgTo test the application, use the command:
$ ravg localhost $RANDOM $RANDOM $RANDOMand the following values are returned:
value = 9.196000e+03 value = 2.871200e+04 value = 3.198900e+04 average = 2.329900e+04Since the first argument to the command is the DNS name for the host running the server, localhost is used. If you have access to a remote host that allows RPC connections (ask the system administrator before you try), the server can be uploaded and run on the remote host, and the client can be run as before, replacing localhost with the DNS name or IP address of the host. If your remote host doesn't allow RPC connections, you may be able to run your client from there, replacing localhost with the DNS name or IP address of your local system.
The ONC implementation of RPC is not the only one available. The Open Software Foundation has developed a suite of tools called the Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) which enables programmers to develop distributed applications. One of these tools is DCE RPC which forms the basis for all of the other services that DCE provides. Its operation is quite similar to ONC RPC in that it uses components that closely parallel those of ONC RPC.
Application interfaces are defined through an Interface Definition Language (IDL) which is similar to the language used by ONC RPC to define XDR filters. Network Data Representation (NDR) is used to provide hardware independent data representation. Instead of using programmer-defined integer program numbers to identify servers as does ONC RPC, DCE RPC uses a character string called a universal unique identifier (UUID) generated by a program called uuidgen. A program called rpcd (the RPC daemon) takes the place of portmap. An IDL compiler can be used to generate C headers and client/server stubs in a manner similar to rpcgen.
Although the entire DCE suite is commercially sold and licensed, the RPC component (which is the basis for all the other services) is available as freeware. See the references section for more information on DCE RPC.
The sample application presented here is certainly a naive one, but it serves well in presenting the basic principles of RPCs. A more interesting set of applications can be found in the Network Information System (NIS) package for Linux (see the references section). Also, the Linux kernel sources contain an implementation of Sun's Network File System (NFS), an excellent example of the use of RPC applied to the problem of distributed file access.
In addition to distributed data access, RPC can also be used to harness the unused processing power present on most networks. The book Power Programming with RPC, listed in the references section, presents an image processing application that uses RPC to distribute CPU intensive tasks over multiple processors. With RPC, you have the capability to boost the performance of your applications without spending a dime on additional hardware.
What is difference between RPC in Windows and that of LINUX?
the steps and content are
the steps and content are good..but if clear picture about the running RPC if given would have been very useful...any how thank u all the information about RPC...
About Version
I'm little bit confused with the version. If we make any changes to our program, then how we update the version. Can anyone give an example for this?
You can take the following example:
version 1: adds two floating point numbers and returns floating point result
version 2(updated): returns the rounded value
regarding the rpc
Thanks a lot for the article that you have presented. It was a lot of information. I would like to know is there any standard rpc mechanism to know about the services running over a particular machine. I need such a program to know about the processes running on a particular machine. It would be great to have your feedbacks regarding the same.
Works between ARM linux and x86 linux
Thanks for posting the code. I tested it with server on arm-linux (Stargate xbow) and client on x86 linux. Cross compiling the code for arm-linux( just the server side files) and running /sbin/portmap on stargate will allow the rpc to register.
The program works well for C and C++ as well.

avg_proc.c is the code from listing 3
The code works
It is really very useful. I am a new comer in Unix [Linux], and could develop a server/client application on RPC using this code. Thank you, Ed.
I've been reading up on RPC
I've been reading up on RPC to implement it for our project, but this is the first tutorial I've found that presents it in a clear and readable manner and where the example code actually WORKS.
Thanks for a well written article, I wish there were more like it.
good introduction, with working program..
1) link of tutorial on makefile will add its value..
i find this a good one
2)while excuting makefile "/n" creates problem.. i have deleted it from makefile and necessary file got generated..
3) try running server by ./avg_ser
and by client by ./ravg in seperate terminal..
4) i feel strongly that comment should be provided in avg_proc.c,ravg.c..
at last i am much thankful for this exceptionaly simple running tutorial..
Re: Remote Procedure Calls
Thanks a lot. I'm a chilean engineering student and your article has been very useful for me since it explain very clearly what RPCs are and what are they used for.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

3 Ways to Search Google without Personalization
Author: John D. Fisher, Categories: Internet Marketing
Google does its best to deliver the most relevant search results to you. One way Google does this is to personalize your search results. Results of this personalization are search results for websites, companies and organizations that are close to you.
But maybe you want to see a more objective representation of how your website ranks?
One method to accomplish this is to use the Incognito browsing mode of Google Chrome. This allows you to remove location-specific personalization to your search results.
Another method is to add a "&pws=0" to the end of Google URL after you search the normal way. Then you can search using standard Google search box and your results will be de-personalized.
For example: http://www.google.com/search?q=insurance+companies&pws=0
Finally, here is a Firefox and IE plugin that prevents you from seeing personalized search results when searching from your browser's search box.
Of course before you do any of the methods above, be sure to log out of any social networks that you may belong to. Search results are now being delivered based on your social connections as well as other factors. Logging out of these networks will deliver even better depersonalized results and give you a great indication of where you stand in search rankings.
Need help in finding out where you rank? Contact us today for a FREE Internet Marketing evaluation.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Characters:
Arthur Conan Doyle not only excelled in writing Detective Stories but he also set the mold with H.G. Wells, of modern Science Fiction. Just as Sherlock Holmes was loosely based on Dr. Bell, one of his professors at the Medical School of the University of Edinburgh, Professor Challenger is very similar to Professor Rutherford, whose lectures the young medical student attended during his medical training.
The best way to describe the formidable George Edward Challenger is in Conan Doyle's own words, through the eyes of the young journalist Ed Malone, when he first met him.
"His appearance made me gasp. I was prepared for something strange, but not for so overpowering a personality as this. It was his size, which took one's breath away-his size and his imposing presence. His head was enormous, the largest I have ever seen upon a human being. I am sure that his top hat, had I ventured to don it, would have slipped over me entirely and rested on my shoulders. He had the face and beard, which I associate with an Assyrian bull; the former florid, the latter so black as almost to have suspicion of blue, spade-shaped and rippling down in front in a long, curving wisp over his massive forehead. The eyes were blue-grey under great black tufts, very clear, very critical, and very masterful. A huge spread of shoulders and a chest like a barrel were the other parts of him which appeared above the table, save for two enormous hands covered with long black hair. This and a bellowing, roaring, rumbling voice made up my first impression of the notorious Professor Challenger."
Jessie, the Professor's small vivacious and much loved wife says of her husband, "he is a perfectly impossible person-absolutely impossible." All of which doesn't stop her from being his match, most of the time.
Many men will be secretly amused to read about this "singular ménage," for when the professor is at a loss for words, he picks up his clever wife and sits her down upon a seven foot high pedestal of black marble in the angle of the hall. He only takes her down after she reluctantly agrees to say "Please."

Docomo rushes new 3G models out to beat iPhone stampede
We're not sure if this is a twisted marketing move or just bad timing, but Docomo has unveiled 19 new cell phone models and none of them are the eagerly anticipated iPhone. Rumors have been swirling recently that Korea and Japan would finally get the iPhone, and Docomo's name is usually at the top of the list in terms of potential 3G network carriers. But with just days to go before Apple's Steve Jobs unleashes the next iPhone, Docomo has not only been mum on the topic, but they now offer us a new set of feature-rich, but ultimately unremarkably designed new 906i and 706i series cell phones.
Nevertheless, Docomo rarely disappoints in the functionality department. The phones offer 3G/GSM international roaming, 1-Seg mobile TV, voice-to-text translation for Chinese, English and Japanese, and can be used to make credit card payments on the go. Nice, but we're still waiting for that juicy "iPhone in Japan" announcement.

No problems here.
Strange. If I try to use the quick-edit function this works, but the "saving..." circle image doesn't disappear. The changes are saved anyway.
If I click the "Save" button in the quick edit an ajax url is called:
I'm not saying there is anything wrong with the forum, just wanted to let you guys know.
If your forum checks out OK, maybe we should post in the AVAST forums too, just waiting for feedback from TILL or FALKO
@Croydon: I can confirm your observed behavior!
There were some problems yesterday which had been fixed by falko yestarday morning. Do you still get an error from avast?

Bond for a 19-year-old from Archdale was increased to $1.25 million after being charged with 50 more counts of sexual exploitation of a minor.
Chance Christian Kennedy was first arrested Nov. 1 following a search on Dogwood Lane. He was originally charged with first-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, extortion, cyberstalking, cyberbullying and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
On Thursday, Archdale police said Kennedy was charged on outstanding felony warrants, including 49 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor and one count of first-degree sexual exploitation of a minor.
Police allege Kennedy used the Internet and social media networks to commit various offenses of cyberbullying and sexual harassment since the summer.
The victim was a 14-year-old girl who didn't know the suspect, police said. A complaint had been filed by the family member of the girl, police said.
Kennedy is being held in the Randolph County Jail. The investigation continues.

Want to learn the basics of your camera so you can go out and take awesome pictures? Here you'll find a collection of my best camera tips, tricks and settings, organized into an easy-to-understand online guide.
Howdy partner! I want to welcome you to my corner of the web. If you're new around these parts, you're probably wondering who I'am and what this site is about.
To sum it up for you, I'm a father of two, an aspiring gentleman and a photographer all rolled into one who likes to help beginners who have a passion for photography. Here at Camera Tips I focus on showing you the best settings, tips and tricks for your camera, rather than overwhelming you with technical photography terms and photographic rules.
To get started, check out the Tips & Tricks section below. If you feel like getting the latest scoop on what's new with me, scroll down a bit more to the News & Notes section. Want to say howdy? Then connect with me in the forums or on Facebook, Google+ and Twitter.
Tips & Tricks
News & Notes
NEW! Low Light Portrait Photography Tutorial for the Nikon D3200 (August 21, 2013) – I just posted a tutorial which gives you a firsthand look at my process for shooting portraits in low light with the Nikon D3200. In the guide I highlight the settings I used and why I used them, along with some secret tips and tricks that can help improve your portrait photography when shooting indoors. Check it out »
I also wanted to let you D3200 owners know that I added a forum specifically for the Nikon D3200. If you have questions about your camera or would like to chat with other beginners, I invite you to come hangout with me.
NEW! (August 4, 2013) Yodel ay hee hoo! I just finished my guide which gives you a firsthand look at my process for shooting landscapes with the Nikon D5100. I show you the settings I used, along with some secret and hidden features that can help you in certain landscape type situations. Check it out »
(June 28, 2013) Snap, Crackle, Pop! My wife and I are getting ready to have our second baby boy any day now, so I've been working really hard over the last few weeks to launch the first pack of Cheat Cards for the Canon T2i (550D). These cheat sheets are my secret recipes for setting up the T2i in a variety of shooting situations. I hope all of you are having a wonderful summer…happy shooting! :)
(June 6, 2013) Ahoy Mateys! Just a few days ago I released some Cheat Cards for the D5100 and the response has been overwhelming. Thank you so much for your love and support!
I though it would only be fair to release some Cheat Cards for the Nikon D3100 as well. Click here to check them out. If you're stuck in Auto mode, or if you have a basic understanding of Aperture and Shutter Speed, but don't know how to put it all together, my Cheat Cards will help sort things out and give you the exact settings I would start with in various situations.
(May 29, 2013) Woohoo! The wait is finally over…I'm proud to announce my 1st ever Cheat Cards for the Nikon D5100. If you've ever been in a situation and wondered which settings to use with your camera, these nifty little cheat sheets will tell you exactly which settings I would start with. I'll be rolling out more Cheat Card packs in the coming weeks for select Canon and Nikon DSLR's, so stay tuned!
NEW! Rugrats, Diapers and Cameras…Oh My! (June 7, 2012) – Well, it's been just over 10 months since the birth of our baby boy. This past week he figured out how to crawl, which means I've got to figure out a way to shoot using one eye through the viewfinder and another locked on my rugrat. It's been a fun and exciting journey thus far and I know many of you have gone through or are going through the same exact thing.
A few months ago I introduced a brand new forum for beginners which has simply taken off. There are fantastic discussions going on and a wealth of helpful information for newbies who are just getting started in the world of photography. If you haven't already done so, I highly recommend giving it a gander.
In camera related news, I just received the Nikon D3200 and have thoroughly enjoyed playing with it so far. I'm currently working on a "Getting Started" guide which will consist of my initial thoughts and a pre-flight checklist for setting it up the first time. I also finished an in-depth resource which takes a look at my favorite lenses, gear and accessories for the Nikon D5100.
I have lots of new tips, tutorials and announcements headed down the pipeline…so stay tuned. Happy shooting! :)
Special Delivery (October 11, 2011) – Howdy friends! I'm happy to announce that my wife and I had our first baby. This adorably cute sack of potatoes gobbled up all of my free time in the last few months. Now it's time to get back in my Moose-mobile, head into the Moose-cave and start saving beginners from the dangers of ISO, aperture and shutter speed. Thanks for continuing to support me, my growing family and this site!
I've got lots of new things planned for Camera Tips. For those of you who've been to my site before, will notice that I'm working on a new design. It's not yet live on all of my pages, just a select few.
If you notice any issues with links or pages not formatting correctly, I'd greatly appreciate your input. The best way to reach me is through Twitter or Facebook.
I'm currently working on adding tips and tutorials for the Nikon D5100 and will be working on the Canon T3i next.

Fabulous Ricotta Spinach Balls
A year ago or more....
I was watching a food show called Extra Virgin and the chef is from Tuscany.
Next day I made these Ricotta/Spinach Balls and they are delicious and so
easy to make. It can even be a main dish for lunch. They are low carb
and extra delicious. Try them, you will be glad that you did.
Ricotta Spinach Balls LC
Pre-heat oven to 350
Butter a 9x13" Pyrex baking dish
1 lb. fresh baby spinach
8 oz. whole ricotta cheese
3 tbs. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg yolk, beaten
4 tbs. butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Place baby spinach in boiling water for one minute.
Remove to an ice bath and shock to stop it cooking.
Drain well, then squeeze it DRY. Chop it.
Place in bowl and add 2 tbs. butter and all the
rest of the ingredients.
Form into balls and lay in buttered dish.
Drizzle with the rest of the butter and sprinkle
with Parmesan cheese lightly
Bake 30 minutes.
Makes about 15 balls that will fill the baking dish without
them touching each other.
This recipe is very basic and much can be done with it.
Sauce, more cheese on top broiled, garlic. I hope that you
will try it, it's so very LC and yummy.
We used it as a side with steak on the BBQ
Do you reckon I could use frozen spinach?
Sounds really yummy Barbo.
sounds good ! Thanks !
I made them and they were ok, but a little bland for my taste. Im going to try them with a stronger cheese, and some garlic added :)
Sounds great!
What is you add a little pureed pumpkin or butternut squash and some nutmeg? Make a little butter-sage sauce to go with it?
Do us all a favor
Please make them. They are just waiting for someone to jazz them up.

327: Exploits of a Mom
|Exploits of a Mom
Title text: Her daughter is named Help I'm trapped in a driver's license factory.
[edit] Explanation
The title of this comic is a pun - an exploit can simply mean an accomplishment or heroic deed, but in computer science it means a program or technique that takes advantage of a vulnerability in other software. In fact her exploit is to exploit an exploit (her achievement is to make use of a vulnerability). We can also assume that she regards the name she has given her son as an extraordinary deed.
Mrs. Roberts receives a call from her son's school. The caller asked if the she really named her son
Robert'); DROP TABLE students;-- and the mom claimed that they used the nickname "Little Bobby Tables". As the full name is read into the database without "sanitization" it causes the student table to be deleted.
In SQL, commands are separated by semicolons
; and data is often quoted using single quotes
'. Commands may also be enclosed in parentheses
( and
). Data is stored in tables of similar items (e.g.
students) and individual entries are "rows" in the table. To delete an entire table (and every row of data in that table), you use the command
DROP (e.g.
DROP TABLE students).
); closes the current command allowing the
DROP TABLE students; command to run. The
-- that follows it tells the interpreter to ignore everything after it so that the injection is complete. At the end, the school informs the mom that her exploit was successful and the mom reminds the school to make sure they have added data filtering code to prevent code injection exploits in the future.
The exploited vulnerability is that the single quote in the name input was not properly "escaped" by the software. Thus, when the name is embedded into some SQL statement, the quote is erroneously parsed as a closing quote inside that statement, rather than being parsed as part of the name. Lack of such escaping is a common SQL vulnerability; this type of exploit is referred to as SQL injection.
For example, if the site was running PHP, the code might take the student's name in a variable called $student and generate an SQL statement to check that the name is valid, like this:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM Students WHERE (student_name='" . $student . "')";
For a student named "Annie", this would give the following SQL command:
SELECT * FROM Students WHERE (student_name='Annie')
However, with Mom's exploit, this becomes:
SELECT * FROM Students WHERE (student_name='Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;-- ')
That can be seen as three statements, separated by semicolons: the
SELECT which runs as normal; the
DROP TABLE command which does the damage; and a comment, which consists of everything from the
-- to the end of the line (thus "eating" the
"')" characters) and prevents SQL from saying "hold on, there's some goofy syntax in this line".
For this to work, it helps to know a little about the structure of the database. But it's quite a good guess that a student management database might have a table called
"Students". Mom's code also assumes that the person who wrote the SQL used exactly one set of parentheses around
"student_name='Robert'"; that might need a little trial and error to get it to work. (Of course, most exploits of this kind are done not by social-engineering the hapless user into typing your kid's funny name, but by getting access to the system yourself and trying lots of combinations until something works, probably starting with an injection of the
SHOW TABLES command to see how the database is structured.)
There is a site about preventing SQL injection named http://bobby-tables.com.
[edit] Transcript
- [Mrs. Roberts receives a call from her son's school.]
- Caller: Hi, This is your son's school. We're having some computer trouble.
- Mrs. Roberts: Oh, dear - did he break something?
- Caller: In a way -
- Caller: Did you really name your son
Robert'); DROP TABLE students;--?
- Mrs. Roberts: Oh, yes. Little Bobby Tables, we call him.
- Caller: Well, we've lost this year's student records. I hope you're happy.
- Mrs. Roberts: And I hope you've learned to sanitize your database inputs.
What about the daughter's name?Guru-45 (talk) 14:57, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
- I think that's embellished upon later in a series called l33t. Davidy22(talk) 15:42, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
- It's for novelty license plates with people's names on them (like "Bort" for example). 188.8.131.52 18:15, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
After fixing my stupid undo I think this comic is still incomplete: What is the "driver's license factory" at the title text? --Dgbrt (talk) 16:17, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
- The common tale is that someone purchases some item or other with writing on it (or somewhere where writing can appear, on closer examination) and finds that this writing reads "Help, I'm trapped in a <item> factory", or similar, as appropriate to the object concerned. This suggests that someone is trapped (or perhaps even enslaved to work) within such a place and their only hope of escape is to make 'messages in a bottle' out of the product that leaves the facility. This is often extended to various fantastical situations, like the (British only?) joke about the stick of sea-side rock.
- (Of course, the writing in sticks of rock generally starts to become unreadable (for normal-sized sticks) for any name larger than "Bridlington", although with care I suppose they've made them with a semi-legible "Western-super-Mare" set through them. But one aspect of this version of the joke could definitely well be that the theoretical SOS message wouldn't legibly fit.)
- So, anyway, Mrs Roberts (who waited for a number of years for Little Bobby Tables to grow up to school-age, for the illustrated exploit) is patiently waiting for her daughter to get to somewhere in her mid-teens, or later, all the while intending that she will get to spoof such a message from the local DMV's license-printing facility at some point. (Turns out that could be as 'soon' as her reaching 14-16 years of age for her first Learner license, depending on state.) Momma Roberts likes playing the long-game, it appears. 188.8.131.52 16:02, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
- The mouseover text might also be a reference to an easter egg in classic Mac OS, in which the text "Help! Help! We're being held prisoner in a system software factory!" was embedded in the system suitcase. 220.127.116.11 20:02, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

The woman who transformed Britain's economy and was their first female prime minister has passed. Margaret Thatcher died today of a stroke at the age of 87.
|Mon, 04-08-2013 - 10:19am
What a great woman! Her accomplishments have helped make a path for other women and she should long be praised for what she did in a time when the strenghts of women were not taken seriously.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

The Legislative and Governance Forum on Food Regulation, which comprises federal, state and territory food and health ministers, discussed the latest health claims proposal at their meeting in Brisbane. 1
CHOICE says the nutrient profiling scoring criteria provide an objective benchmark of the overall healthiness of a food product and the ministers' decision is positive for consumers.
"These nutritional criteria were agreed following extensive work by the independent regulator and provide a robust and objective approach to determining which food products are healthy enough overall to carry health marketing claims," says CHOICE spokesperson Ingrid Just.
But CHOICE says the ministers' decision to allow food companies evaluate the evidence behind these health claims, as opposed to an independent regulator, means consumers will have limited confidence that the claims appearing on supermarket shelves are legitimate.
"This is a major step backwards from an earlier proposal that would have required the independent regulator to scrutinise new claims, which was scuttled after an intense industry lobbying campaign," says Ms Just.
"When we look at what happened in Europe, where the European Food Safety Authority rejected 80% of the health claims put forward by food companies, we can see that the food industry has a very different idea of what constitutes scientific evidence to independent regulators.
"The best advice CHOICE can give consumers is to disregard the marketing spin and, as we always advise, to read the nutrition information panel and ingredients information when choosing what food they buy."
CHOICE says the real test will be in the willingness of state and territory enforcement agencies to investigate complaints of dodgy health marketing claims and sanction companies found to be making claims which are not backed by evidence.²
CHOICE has also welcomed ministers' decision to extend mandatory country-of-origin labelling to all unpackaged meat products.
"We know Australian consumers have a strong desire to know where their food is produced, and this is a welcome move to close one of the key country-of-origin loopholes," says Ms Just.
¹ The new Standard for Nutrition, Health and Related Claims will regulate nutrition claims (eg "good source of calcium") and health claims, which can either be general level health claims, which link a property of the food with a health outcome (eg "high in calcium for strong bones"), or high level health claims, which link a property of the food with a serious disease (eg "high in calcium to reduce the risk of osteoporosis").
² The health claims standard has been under development for ten years, during which time some states and territories have raised concerns that an industry substantiation avenue would place a heavy burden on their enforcement agencies when compared with centralised pre-market approval by the national food regulator, Food Standards Australia New Zealand.
