HarperCollins to libraries: we will nuke your ebooks after 26 checkouts

HarperCollins to libraries: we will nuke your ebooks after 26 checkouts article by Cory Doctorow
LibraryGoblin sez, "HarperCollins has decided to change their agreement with e-book distributor OverDrive. They forced OverDrive, which is a main e-book distributor for libraries, to agree to terms so that HarperCollins e-books will only be licensed for checkout 26 times. Librarians have blown up over this, calling for a boycott of HarperCollins, breaking the DRM on e-books–basically doing anything to let HarperCollins and other publishers know they consider this abuse."

Allele Frequencies
The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium principle is summarized as both allele and genotype frequencies within a population remain continuous between generation to generation unless specific disturbing influences are introduced. Genetic equilibrium is an ideal state that provides a baseline to measure genetic variation against. The Hardy-Weinberg equation sums up all of the genotypic frequencies within a population. The equation can be used to calculate the frequency of alleles in a gene pool, if the frequencies of all genotypes are given. The equation is p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1. Where the frequency of the dominant X allele = p. The frequency of the homozygous dominant XX genotype is (p)(p), or p2. The expression 2pq is the frequency of the heterozygous genotype Xx. The expression q2 represents the frequency of the homozygous recessive xx genotype. The total frequency =1. The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation only works if the population meets these five assumptions.
1. Random mating, - All allele and genotype frequencies in a population have equal opportunity to propitiate.
2. There is no mutations, - No changes in the DNA sequence creating new allele, which would lead to genetic deviation from the parent population. Mutations can be caused by copying errors in the genetic material during cell division, and is almost always harmful to the organism. Mutations create variation within the gene pool and are the source of all heritable variations. Less favorable mutations can be reduced in frequency through natural selection, while more favorable mutations may accumulate and result in adaptive evolutionary changes.
3. There is a large population size, - this minimizes random sampling errors. With a large population size the effect of change is minor to the total population. The more individuals in the habitat, the lower the ratio of change in the population become.
4. There is no gene flow, - no outside influences diluting the genetic purity. Migration brings two or more populations together allowing their genetic variations to enter the other's gene pool. The allele frequencies will become more homogeneous through the combination of the two individual populations. Models for migration inherently include nonrandom mating invalidating the principles of Hardy-Weinberg.
Disasters that greatly reduces an existing population" numbers may force the remaining inhabitants to experience genetic drift, the change in the relative frequency of alleles that occurs in a population due to random sampling and chance, certain alleles may no longer be present, and others may be overrepresented in the new populations'
gene pool. After genetic drift, the gene frequency of the reduced population will no longer be representative of the original population.
5. There is no natural selection, - no picking the best of the best, this filters out the less desirable genetic traits in the overall population. Natural selection can lead to allele-frequency changes in a population Natural selection is the process by which the heritable traits that make it more likely for an organism to survive and successfully reproduce become more common in a population over subsequent generations. The natural genetic variation within a population means that some individuals will survive and reproduce more successfully than others in their current environment.
Hardy Weinberg equilibrium is unobtainable outside the lab conditions. In nature there are always one or more selective pressures affecting a species. Genetic equilibrium provides a baseline to measure genetic change against. From the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation, we can predict useful but difficult-to-measure facts about a population.

50 Years Ago: The Kinks Play Their First Show
On Feb. 1, 1964, the Kinks made their official debut. The concert, held at the Town Hall in Oxford, was the first time brothers Ray and Dave Davies, Mick Avory & Pete Quaife took the stage under the name the Kinks after ditching the moniker, the Ravens.
Drummer Mick Avory had just joined the band, replacing Micky Willet, a few days before the gig. "I actually joined the band through putting an ad in Melody Maker as a drummer seeking Rhythm and Blues Band," Avory told the Kast Off Kinks website in 2009, "I went for an audition and they were playing the stuff I liked." The actual ad from the Jan. 25th Melody Maker read, "Drummer. Young, good kit, read, seeks pro-R&B groups."
"He was the best drummer we'd seen," recalled Dave Davies in his autobiography 'Kink,' "but I didn't have a gut feeling he was the right guy. The pressure was mounting to do stuff, and he looked good, he was a nice guy and played well."
That evening, the band were opening for R&B ravers the Downliners Sect. The venue itself had only recently begun to host rock and roll shows with the Rolling Stones performing there a month prior. According to the Doug Hinman book 'The Kinks: All Day And All Of The Night,' the show was very sparsely attended, with the bulk of the audience made up by other band members.
One week later, the Kinks made their debut on British television, singing 'Long Tall Sally' on the legendary 'Ready, Steady Go!'

It turns out that Leroy's earlier assumption was right: Nobody wants to buy candles from the town harlot and the town drunk. After a discouraging attempt to sell their wares door to door, Leroy approaches Astrid to deliver the bad news. But he can't bear to disappoint her, so he ends up pulling a Seacrest instead: "The bad news is... you nuns are going to be real busy making candles, because YOU'RE GOING TO HOLLYWOOD me and Mary Margaret just sold them all!" Though MM's aghast at his lie, Leroy snarls that she shouldn't judge him for falling for someone who's unavailable -- and says he'll rustle up the $5,000 he promised Astrid.
At Firefly Hill, Dreamy and Nova admire the kingdom and sigh about how they'd love to see it up close. Suddenly, Dreamy's impulsively proposing that they sail away together and go exploring -- and Nova is just as impulsively saying yes. Pretty little picture, yes?
Speaking of boats: Leroy tries to sell his to Mr. Gold, but Storybrooke's most powerful man isn't prepared to meet his price. When Gold finds out that Leroy is trying to help the nuns, he's even less inclined to hand over cash -- apparently, he's got a "long and complicated history" with them, and he's looking forward to the day they're forced to leave town. So Gold doesn't like The Sound of Music? He really is a monster. Disappointment piles atop disappointment when Astrid soon shows up, bearing a pie for her candle-selling hero -- only to discover that Leroy lied to her. She sadly walks away, leaving Leroy with only an entire pie for comfort. Which, if you think about it, isn't actually so bad.
The Mystery of the Missing Blonde deepens. Emma discovers that Kathryn never showed up at her law school in Boston. What's more, Sidney's phone records show that Kathryn had an eight-minute conversation with her husband shortly before she disappeared -- even though when questioned, David told Emma that he hadn't spoken with Kathryn since they split up.
Dreamy's seven small pals wish him luck as he leaves to go meet Nova. But on the way, he's stopped by Bossy, who tells him that he's shirking his responsibility -- especially since dwarfs are incapable of love. The message is reinforced by the Blue Fairy, who also happens to be Nova's mentor. She tells Dreamy that if he runs away with Nova, she'll lose her wings. I'm guessing that ringing a bell wouldn't make them grow back. Like Rump and Snow before him, Dreamy ends up pushing his love away. More like happily never after, am I right?
At Granny's, Leroy and MM drown their sorrows. He moans that his whole life, people have been trying to tell him what he can't do -- but Astrid believed in him. MM mopes about her pariah status. But suddenly, Leroy is resolved to make a change. He climbs up to the roof of a building overlooking the Miners Day festivities and thrusts a pickaxe -- wait, where did he get that? -- into a nearby transformer. Storybrooke is plunged into darkness... which is pretty convenient for a duo that's trying to sell candles.
NEXT: "It's out again! Sorry 'bout your friend" -- plus Breadcrumbs

The Package
The front of the package we received from Inno3D was actually the wrong one. For this reason we've had to use a photo from them so you can see what it really looks like. We can see that the Inno3D logo is present along the side of the box with the NVIDIA logo, while also being seen in the top right corner.
Across the bottom we have more NVIDIA logos and to the right we have the number 285 along with just a few of the main features. Above that we have mention of the card being a GeForce GTX and finally we have some stickers that let us know that Company of Heroes: Opposing Forces and Warmonger are included.
Turning the box over gives us a little blurb; moving down gives us a run down on some of the features and we also have a bit of information about SLI and what's needed to get it up and running. We also see all the other information that we've become accustomed to seeing on graphics card boxes.
Moving inside the package, we have a little install guide that has our driver CD attached and also present is a full version copy of Warmonger, a game I actually don't know anything about. While not seen here, the card will also include a full version copy of Company of Heroes: Opposing Forces which was mentioned on the front of the box.
As far as cables go, we have everything we need; dual molex to 6-pin PCI-E, S/PDIF loopback cable, S-Video to RCA, Component out Dongle, DVI to VGA connector and a DVI to HDMI connector.

I honestly do not think it is a fanboy term. I find it more of a term of a disappointed ower. I use the term often and I own the console. I should be able to call it whatever I want. Everyone knows Microsoft bleeds their consumers dry with their Microsoft only approach. But I still have an Xbox and will always have one.
And M$ is directed towards the company itself. This is not directed towards the Xbox 360 console. Microsoft as a whole bleeds their consumers.
The Windows OS is a great example of that.

And the fact that MS have megabucks. I think they've earned the '$'
12-06-2011 #28
It's deemed that it's fanboy terminology... same as $ony. You can't use it, I see no reason to use it, so don't. Easy. Just type a freakin' "S", or spell the name out completely. What purpose does the "$" serve? NONE. /thread

Just some forum rules that aren't written, everything MUST be held equal regardless of topic.
For example! Let's say you're in a thread about Microsoft and ONLY Microsoft, the original post makes NO reference to Sony or Nintendo
You've been born longer than 20 seconds so you realise Microsoft is a pitiful greedy company and you voice this like so "I think M$ are a pitiful, greedy company that laughs at how easily they can $#@! people" and despite NONE of this statement being incorrect it is deemed wrong, not because you had harmful intent, nope actual facts mean nothing. You have just pointed out a negative fact about a console developer on a gaming forum and despite doing so would make you a complete idiot you must and I mean MUST equalise your statement by instead saying "I think M$ are a pitiful, greedy company that laughs at how easily they can $#@! people... Just like $ony" <<< That there is the problem, it's not fanboy terminology if you use it because you accept they're greedy and voice it like so but you'll still be called out for it for not also EVERY time pointing out the competition. Though to be honest I have seen a couple of people get a stern talking to for using the $ symbol even if they include both but more often than not it's deemed as fanboyism due to not also 'attacking' the competition in the same sentence
Now you see Sony had literally NO reason to be brought up in a thread that was ONLY to do with MS, yes sure Sony is a greedy pitiful company that laughs at how easy it is to $#@! with customers but some people are above having to ALWAYS equalise a statement. I often have to suffer this, I have voiced VERY negative opinions about many different companies however I do so in the threads it has a purpose (Ok I stray sometimes if I'm really pissed off) in and I am always quoted by someone else and having them add "Just like the competition" which is $#@!ing stupid and I will be a happy man when those pitiful, disgusting and yet perfectly accepted spam posts start receiving warnings
*Breaths*if I am in the PS3 or 360 section I will NOT post about the competitor just to please people, if you want to know what I think about the competitor link me to a thread in the appropriate section

Guess I joined the wrong one.

Using dollar symbols to replace the "S" in Sony and MS is pure fanboy/flamebait terminology. It is not only deemed against the forum rules on this site, but on other forums as well. Like FEAR said, let's keep things mature and fun here and avoid the unnecessary crap. It serves no purpose other than to rile up the diehard Sony and MS fans.
Plus, it just looks dumb. WTF...just type Sony or MS or Microsoft.

We've had this rule for a long time, and "M$" is actually written in the description:
18. No Fanboy Terminology - Fanboy terminology such as Xbot, M$, SDF, Sony Droid etc is forbidden and will be dealt with by the staff via warnings, infractions and bans.

I didn't realize my report would cause so much drama.
Apparently, it's way too difficult for some of you guys to simply type out Microsoft or MS instead of M$. What's your justification for that? "The company has always been greedy". And my favorite: "This is a PlayStation-centric forum so we should be allowed to treat all that are not affiliated with said brand like dirt" or something to that effect. Well, I'm sorry to break the news to you guys (especially to the newer members here) but PSU caters to multiple demographics. Hardcore, casual, Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo -- you get the idea... hopefully.
The staff expects the community to report anything they find is offensive or has the potential to cause trouble. But instead of trying to learn from his/her mistake, the ones being reported usually lash out at the staff for being "unfair". Well, I'm sorry, but tough $#@!. Just be glad that you got a simple notification instead of an infraction. No one is stopping you from "expressing your opinion" so long as you do it in a mature and respectable manner.
12-06-2011 #36Soldier 95BGuest
I have reported the use of this terminology before as well and will continue to do so. I am on the page with the majority of people here in that we want this forum to be fun, enjoyable and filled with great content. The flamebait and fanboy wars do nothing to enhance the forum. In fact, they detract people from the forum.
I think people are struggling with the fact that many people are here not JUST Playstation only fans. We enjoy having both consoles, and the community is evolving a much broader spectrum than just Playstation only owners. While the main focus (especially the PSU news page) is STILL Playstation, there is room for the community to share and enjoy all forms of gaming talk.

What I don't get is why some of you get worked up over the fact that some use the alternative S ($), weather its used for either console. I personally side with the OP on this topic.

When the swear filter was here, it would automatically change M$/$ony to MS/Sony respectively. So people have only been getting infractions for them since the swear filter was removed. Probably could enable the swear filter and add just those 2 words.

That's just how it always begins. First with small words like M$ and $ony. Then you start blocking words like ass and jew. Our liberties stripped of us slowly but steadily until there is nothing left.
You've never been able to call anyone that here and you know that. I think people will be offended to see the N word used hence why I've edited.

We do take a few extra minutes to manually apply pressure before putting the biopatch in place. We very seldom have any additional bleeding that requires an early dressing change. We do 100% peds and they really enjoy not having that dressing changed the next day. These are MST insertions.

I agree with your thinking. I have been doing exactly this and leaving the first dressing with the biopatch and gauze for the first week with no infections for about 1 year. RaKay

I worked at a hospital here
I worked at a hospital here in Connecticut that instituted application of a Biopatch upon PICC insertion about 2 years ago. They have had great results. However the policy and practice there is to apply the Biopatch, covered with a pressure gauze then a transparent dressing. The PICC team then still does the initial dressing change in 24 hours- applying a new Biopatch. Personally, I thought this was a waste of the Biopatch as it can stay in place 7 days.
But this brings up an interesting point. If a Biopatch is applied on a PICC site under a gauze dressing- then does the dressing have to be changed in 24 to 48 hrs? I don't think it is necessary. But then there is the INS standard for gauze dressing changes. I would feel it is best to apply the Biopatch with an initial transparent dressing without as others are doing. OR apply initial pressure dressing, and upon 1st dressing change apply a Biopatch.

We trialed the Biopatch a couple of years ago and had a bump in yeast related blood stream infections. Our ID folks thought it might be the patch, incorrected placed. Did anyone have a similar experience?
We are going to try it again in February 07. I would defininitely be interested in applying it at the time of insertion.

We have used Bio-Patch with excellent results since January last year. If the decrease in infection rates is not enough to satisfy inquiring minds, the cost of using Bio-Patch at the time of insertion is usually less then doing the 24 hour dsg change. We are doing dsg changes every 7 days unless otherwise indicated.

We have been using Biopatch
We have been using Biopatch on insertion for approximately 4 years now. If we insert a PICC and the site is oozing, we will then apply the gauze dressing and then require the 24 hour dressing change, however this is rare. Using Biopatch on insertion, decreases cost and nursing time since the 24 hr dressing change is not required. Also, your QA's for missed 24 hr PICC dressing changes will be non existent.
Can you tell I totally support this? Merry X-Mas!!!

We haven't started using BioPatch yet. We will in the next month. Our plans are to use on insertion and if saturated, a 24 hour dressing change would be needed.
Based on our observation, we think that we will not need the 24 hour dressing change.
We will see if that observation is right, once we start usimg them.

Any experience / advice appreciated.
I found some linen-look Ikea tab top curtains at a great price. Since I have 2 bays in my dining room, and am looking to update my look w/o spending a lot of money, I bought them. However,.... I am not a big fan of tab tops. Has anyone transformed them into back tab curtains? Any advice? Length is not a concern, I have lots of extra length to work with. TIA
Follow-Up Postings:
I just made back tab panels this weekend for my living room. I'd just open the top seam that holds the tabs, remove the tabs, and stitch the seam closed again, with a straight stitch on the right side of the fabric near the top edge. At that point, pick up where the instructions in the link below tell how to attach the tabs to the top of the back. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Instructions to make back tab panels
I took tab top curtains and turned them into back tab easily. All I did was flip the tabs down and stitch them to the back of the curtain. The stitch line is almost on top of the header seam that was there anyway - totally invisible and they work perfectly making to beautiful soft folds. |
I think I have the same curtains that you are talking about, or at least similar. Mine are Bomull. I don't like tab tops either and this was my quick fix: Since my side panels are purely for decorative purposes I don't have to close them. I pulled the tabs all side by side, neat and flat, on each end of the rod and from the back pulled the excess material straight back. They almost look box pleated now and you don't really notice the tabs since there is no space between them on the rod. |

Deb is right. A very easy fix. My only concern would be if they became too short so make sure to take that into account. |
- Posted by haley_comet (My Page) on Mon, Feb 15, 10 at 14:12
I think that is an excellent plan - I too dislike tab top's - I find they often look disheveled. |
The good thing about Ikea's curtains are that they come in such long lengths! I would hate to do a conversion like this and then look at the bottoms and see they are like pants that are just-that-bit-short that you see your socks! (What's the slang for that? 'high-waters'?) Oh--one thing: Do a few flip-backs on the tabs, then stand back and make sure they look OK to you, because some of Ikea's curtains' weaves can be a bit skimpy, and you might not like the shadow behind the flipped-back tabs. |
I modified some Pier 1 curtains that were backtab. I inserted crinoline in the top pocket to stiffen it a bit, then added curtain weights on each corner. Finally, I measured the correct width for each panel when closed and divided by the number of tabs. I stitched binding tape across the back at each tab. The end result is the fabric stays properly spaced when you pull the panel closed. I've never posted pictures but I will try. They look like casual un-pleated panels with tidy, big s-curves. |

b. 1856 Sagua la Grande, Cuba, d. 1936 Great Britain photographer British
Born in Cuba and raised there and in the United States before moving to England as a teenager, physician and scientist Peter Henry Emerson took up photography at age twenty-six. Often described as a difficult zealot, he vocally championed a naturalistic approach to imagemaking. He favored rural subjects presented in a simple, direct manner. Emerson's influential 1889 book Naturalistic Photography for Students of the Art outlined his thesis that photography's ability to record nature truthfully was its most expressive one. He argued that the photograph should imitate nature rather than alter it. Emerson was a passionate lecturer and writer about photography, never mincing words and thus earning as many foes as supporters. He was an early and tireless champion of photography as a fine art, and he became the unofficial godfather of the Photo-Secessionist movement, founded by Alfred Stieglitz in 1902.

Self-Clean Oven, Vari-Speed Dual Flow Convection, Rapid Ready Preheat and Sure Spark Ignition: Stainless Steel (Model Number DSCD1304BSS) but have been unable to find any reviews.

Follow-Up Postings:
OMG if you can't find opinions on Viking ranges by searching this forum (like, 10 gazillion threads), you're not trying hard enough. Actually, searching "Viking range" pulls up 205 threads, and maybe 1/5 of them are relevant to your question. Lots of fun reading to do! If you want a "classic" thread that is still active now to read, start here: |
Really?! And after you have read the 205 threads posted on this web site you and still want to purchase this brand all I can say to you is good luck. The GardenWeb is like the Surgeon General's Warnings on a pack of cigarettes. Buyer beware and make really good friends with your local service agent. He just must be the guy that "saves your bacon". Good luck. |

My name is Zuli!
Facts about Zuli
- Breed: Bengal
- Color: Tan Or Fawn
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Zuli's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Rescued from kill shelter
Other Pets at CARE: Cat Crusade Adoption & Rescue Endeavor
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Zuli, a Fort Lauderdale Bengal cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Bengal for sale in Fort Lauderdale, or seeking a Bengal cat from a breeder in Fort Lauderdale.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Fort Lauderdale already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Fort Lauderdale breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Bengal breeders who help with Bengal rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Fort Lauderdale paves the way for another one to be saved.

He came into the league with low expectations. Many assumed he'd be a practice squad guy.
He earned the starting job in the Washington Redskins backfield.
Through two weeks, his 185 rushing yards leads all rookie running back and ranks eighth-best amongst the NFL overall.
He's quiet, yet effective. Very similar to that of an assassin.
He's respectful, well-spoken and humble.
As part of his rookie contract, he's set to earn $390,000 for the 2012 season.
He still drives the 1991 Mazda 626 sedan that he received as his first car while a junior at Florida Atlantic, referring to it as his 'Bentley'.
His name is Alfred Morris.
Needless to say, Alfred Morris is the man.
"It has some sentimental value to it now," Morris said. "It just keeps me grounded, where I came from and all the hard work for me to get to this point. So that's what helps me."

40 Year Old Has Worst Tattoos Ever — Do You Agree? [PICTURES]
I wonder what Billy Ray Cyrus would think about this?
I wonder what Billy Ray Cyrus would think about this?
You know those nights where you go out and plan to behave. You're not going to drink much. You're just out for a few, then you're going home. Then somebody says, "Come on...just one shot." And it starts...
Billy Ray Cyrus has said again and again that his daughter, Miley Cyrus, will always be his little girl -- twerking and all. So when her 21st birthday rolled around on Nov. 23, he went all out on her birthday present, spending $24,000 on an extremely lavish surprise. Only the best for his daughter!
Ever since Miley Cyrus' uh, interesting, 2013 MTV VMAs performance, there has been lots of talk about the pop princess and her sanity. But godmother Dolly Parton isn't worried at all.
A few country stars have already weighed in on Miley Cyrus' recent antics, due in part to her association with the genre as Billy Ray's daughter and as Dolly Parton's goddaughter. Now, Shania Twain has offered a reasoned and objective statement about the pop star, chalking it up to a young girl being a young girl.
It never fails. Every year, I find myself in the same position: I've known for weeks now that I was going to a Halloween party. Yet I haven't thought about what costume I'll wear (and let's be honest, people who wear costumes to Halloween parties are just more fun).
If you're like me and you're struggling, maybe this list will help you come up with something.
Miley Cyrus is the hottest topic in pop music right now, thanks to recent scandalous antics that have everyone, including her father Billy Ray Cyrus, talking. Her godmother Dolly Parton hasn't weighed in Miley's behavior yet, but she doesn't have to -- Miss Cyrus says she considers the country icon a true role model.
Kenny Rogers has been a country music superstar for decades, enjoying the kind of longevity that most artists would sever a limb for. As an icon and a legend in his genre, he doesn't need to resort to pulling publicity stunts like Miley Cyrus, daughter of fellow country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, in order to grab (and hold on to) people's attention. So don't expect him to.
Every year, Billboard comes out with the list of the top 21 stars under 21. Scotty McCreery is the only country representative on the list this year.
Nicolas Cage's descent from Oscar winner to internet star is complete.
Cage, who is no stranger to having his mug cover other people's faces, resurfaces in this video where someone thoughtfully inserts his head over Miley Cyrus' in her controversial 'Wrecking Ball' clip.
Miley Cyrus isn't the only one stripping down for her new video.
This dad went the full measure to prove his point. It's as drastic as it is awesome. Embarrassing as it is applausable.
With the whole Miley Cyrus VMA disaster still fresh in everyone's mind, Myley Mackintosh has come to show her appreciation and following in Miley Cyrus (God Bless everyone who looks up to Cyrus)

but a quick look at listings on ebay suggest it is hardly worth anything. It is lovely--big ornate tray, coffee pot, tea pot, sugar and creamer. But it is silverplate, not sterling, from National Silver Company, bought in 1953. And now I'm faced with polishing it. Just wondering whether anyone has and uses these items or whether they are just dinosaurs. . .although of course there is sentimental value. . . |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't have a "set" just a couple of coffee pots and a tray....and I use them whenever I serve more than 2 cups of coffee...if I have guests for dinner or lunch, I pour the coffee out of the pot. My daughter and DIL both have "sets' and my daughter rarely uses it but she does....the DIL as far as I know never has used it. People used to have coffees and would set up at the end of a table and someone would pour....and I have been to more than a few brunches where the coffee and tea was served out of a coffee service. Polish it up really well....then about every 6 weeks just wash it with International silver polish...just get a sponge sudsy with the stuff and wash and dry the silver....just as you would wash anything else that sits out and gets dirty. I am sure it's lovely....enjoy it! Linda C |
You're right Marita -- They're pretty cheap on eBay... And they haven't seen much use lately. But - I suspect they may be making a comeback. Why? Mostly just gut. (But my gut's usually pretty good at early trend-spotting.) I'm throwing a 'Titanic' luncheon in a few weeks for my Gourmet Girls group and I bought a few pieces on eBay to suplement what I had. And Igloochic, another GWeb regular, just posted that she's doing an auction tea and was looking for a few. They've gotten too cheap and are just too pretty to pass up. I've also seen pieced crafted into lovely tea-themed centerpiece, chandalier, or garden art pieces. And with Alice in Wonderland hitting the big screens?... I guess it's because the Baby Boom ladies are now reaching a 'certain age' where entertaining is changing into something a bit more formal, a bit more gracious than a barbecue in the yard. Plus, we're at that age where our parents are leaving us, and we're inheriting all of that lovely silver and china from the 1940's and 50's. When and how could we use it? So I say throw a tea party! |
Thanks for your replies. A "Titanic" party--how fun! I'd be a lot happier with the silver set if I didn't have to polish it! :) I didn't mention that there are two covered serving dishes, too, in the same pattern. Well, I will get to work on this soon and post a photo when all the pieces gleam once again! |
Ditto what everyone else has said. Yes, they are a little more effort than most serving pieces we use now, but in our 'busy' lives some things are worth the effort. I was sorely disappointed when I brought home my mother's silverware in the chest to find out that somewhere along the way she had replaced it with stainless. She had purchased it on layaway a few pieces at a time until she had a nice collection and it was always my job, and then my DD's job growing up to polish the silver in preparation for holiday meals. I never minded it and it sort of added to the specialness of the festivities. |
I found the set on Replacements. Hopefully mine will polish up so well! http://www.replacements.com/webquote/images.htm |
I inherited my grandmother's silver service. Sis got Mom's. I've used mine when I have people over for tea--even if it is just one or two people--along with Mom's collection of tea cups. If you have a china cabinet, you can store the silver in there and it will tarnish much more slowly. If you don't want to display it, there are special bags you can buy to store the silver in. They have a tarnish preventative in them and will keep the silver looking nice for a long time. My task once a month, as a kid, was to polish Mom's silver service. Huge tray, coffee pot, tea pot, creamer, sugar bowl, slops bowl, sugar spoon and sugar tongs. If you keep up with it, it doesn't take all that long. If you let things go, it can take a lot of rubbing to get it all shiny again. |
If you can bring yourself to use the individual pieces, rather than a set, I think you'll get more pleasure out of them. Creamer can hold just about anything pourable, sugar bowl can be used on your dresser, the tray's probably the most versatile piece, and I've put flowers in both the tea and coffee pots. |
I have two full sets (honestly that may be on the low side since I've been shopping for this tea party LOL and don't know what all I have out in the car). But I have oddles of pieces of serving ware and we use them at most meals that aren't just DH and myself (and some even then). Plate is cheap as chips right now, (as is crystal) so I've picked up a few pieces that are quality enough to have replated for a song, then pay the plating and it's an ok value (but I'm keeping them because we entertain so much so it's really worth it). I also have several sterling pieces. I love them all equally :) I'm hoping to have five full sets by October LOL Watch out ebay!!! Use them and enjoy them. Sipping a cup of tea out of a china cup poured from a silver pot when all of your distractions are away...is priceless. |

Kintronic Founder, Louis King, Dies
Bristol, TN - Nov 3, 2009 - Louis Arthur King, age 94, passed away on Nov. 1, 2009, at Wellmont Bristol Regional Medical Center. He was born Jan. 1, 1915, in Bristol, TN, the son of Arthur and Geneva King.
His professional career spanned 45 years. He graduated with a BSEE from UT Knoxville in 1938 and an MSEE from the University of Missouri in 1940. He taught electrical engineering at Clemson College in Greenville, SC, where he developed the radio engineering curriculum, which later formed the foundation for the communications courses presently offered at what is now Clemson University.
In 1945, he was hired by the Radio Corporation of America in Camden, NJ, as a radio transmitter design engineer where he received five patents. In 1949, he returned to Bristol at which time he obtained a PE license in Tennessee and Virginia and set up operations in his father's office space on Shelby Street as a broadcast consulting engineer.
In the early 1950s, he started manufacturing radio broadcast equipment while continuing his consulting practice. The manufacturing business was later named Kintronic Laboratories and was incorporated in 1984.
Louis King was recognized by the National Association of Broadcasters in 2007 as the recipient of the NAB Lifetime Radio Engineering Achievement Award. Later that same year, King College honored him with an honorary doctor of laws degree at its first winter commencement. In 2008, the National Religious Broadcasters presented King with its first Impact Award recognizing his behind-the-scenes support of Christian radio around the world.
Louis King's son Tom is the president of Kintronc Labs, and Louis King's daughter Gwen King is vice president of operations.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
ROMEO, a Hesperus Pomeranian dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pomeranian for sale in Hesperus, or seeking a Pomeranian dog from a breeder in Hesperus.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Hesperus already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Hesperus breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Pomeranian breeders who help with Pomeranian rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Hesperus paves the way for another one to be saved.

I had to do a Debian dist-upgrade on my server... in the process, PHP got upgraded to 5.4. We use ioncube which only supports up to 5.3 atm, and I'm having some trouble finding how to downgrade to 5.3 from 5.4. Anyone know how?
migrated from stackoverflow.com Mar 9 '12 at 2:02This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers. |
Neither of the solutions above worked for me. What did work was pinning the necessary packages to the old stable such as Add the following to

Then run the commands
If you want to know which packages you need to upgrade just run :
You could try this, but do it at your own risk. I didn't try it myself. ;)
The last line to prevent upgrading to 5.4. When you're ready for 5.4, run IonCube for 5.4 is a little while out from what I've read. |
Downgrading PHP 5.4 to 5.3First check which versions are supported for php5:
Here is the script which you could find it useful (it removes PHP 5.4 and install PHP 5.3):
Where the available versions you can check by command: After the installation, verify it by command: Please be careful and don't install any other packages without package version specified (like php5-xcache), otherwise apt-get will replace your PHP instance with 5.4 again! To prevent this happening, you can hold these packages. Holding packages using dpkgTo hold packages by dpkg, you can execute the following command:
To hold all PHP packages, run the following command:
The following command will show you holding status of your php packages:
Holding packages using aptitudeYou can also hold packages using aptitude e.g.:
ExtrasSee also the same questions for Ubuntu, for some more ideas. |
I had to do a full upgrade to wheezy by changing my apt sources to the wheezy sources. Uninstalled php, upgraded the system with the new apt sources, installed php... everything's golden. |

I'm still relatively new at being a Parent, so while lack of sleep and soothing a teething toddler haven't been my favorite things, I know I've had it pretty easy so far. And when I think ahead to the teen years with a daughter who is already prone to overreaction, I know the best and worst is yet to come.
What do you think? What age were your kids the hardest to parent? Why?
Can I say "all of them"? Haha No really, I think they all come with different challenges. The lack of sleep in the early years, the "terrible two's", the toddler years when they are testing boundaries and into EVERYTHING, starting school and testing rules and boundaries there...and so on. I have a 5 year old, a 9 year old and a 10 year old and each day is different. Honestly, I wish I could freeze time right now. I'm scared of the teenage years!
08-04-2014 04:06 PM - edited 08-04-2014 04:10 PM
There is for sure something to be said about the poster who said "all of them" I remember thinking that NOTHING can be tougher that when I would put my son to sleep in his crib, stand there and pet his head, humming,as I'd watch him "hopefully" drift off to sleep. I'd then, hold my breath and try and tip toe out of his room, down the hall, and down the stairs, PRAYING that the floor boards wouldn't creak. haha. On those unfortunate nights when the door hinges were a bit noisey, or the floor boards DID creak, noi WAY I was getting away.
Holy crap though, I was wrong--that boy is 14 now, and I think he is from mars.
I just started a blog geared towards parents:
please check it out if you have the time.
Well I have 2 girls, ages 8 and 1. So far I would say my hardest have been ages 3-4. I couldn't take my oldest daughter with me anywhere during those ages. It wasn't fair to me, her, or other people in restaurants, stores, etc. My girl was one of those kids. The ones that you looked at the mom, felt sorry for her and wondered why the kid was screaming and rolling around on the grocery store floor or was mad that she couldn't keep her quiet at a restaurant. The one that ruined your nice night out or your peace and quiet on an air plane. If I didn't have the backpack with a leash on it, she would have been kidnapped or gotten on the wrong plane. She liked to play hide and seek in the clothing racks so I couldn't find her, even thought she was right there as I was calling her name. There have been many heart attacks for me with this one. I just hope my next lovely girl isn't as challenging and maybe I can handle her a bit better since I have already been through it.
I have four kids between 8 and 12. I'd say the hardest age to parent so far is between 1.5 to 3 yrs. They are mobile and have to be supervised the most and are still carried sometimes. Not to mention the potty-training.
The newborn/infant stages were fairly easy for me--I really didn't mind the sleep deprivation.
They are at the easiest ages right now, (they have more independence and can go out to play on their own), but the teen years are yet to come.

The nine holes of Rancho Sierra Golf Course dot across the arid landscape northeast of Lancaster, forming an emerald oasis among the vast, flat expanse. Once upon the terrain, players send their golf balls hurling down wide fairways and tumbling over smooth greens en route to vanquishing the 2,452-yard course. With three lakes, several creeks, and one Super Soaker?wielding caddy on its grounds, water comes into play on seven of the nine holes. Players can traverse the facility?s peaceful confines year-round, either to play a round or polish their skills on the driving range.
Course at a Glance:
Tucked amid the shadows of eucalyptus trees and mexican palms, Buena Vista Golf Course roams across 6,710 yards of dramatically undulating terrain. Throughout the par-72 layout, golfers grapple with uneven lies wrought by the hilly topography, as well as large, contoured greens that require a soft touch with the putter. As players make their way from tee to green, hillcrests offer glimpses of the surrounding farmland, the two lakes that comprise Buena Vista Aquatic Recreation Center, and distant mountains as they ripple out into the horizon and hide the unsightly edge of the earth. Guests looking to polish their game can consult Buena Vista's two PGA Class A professionals, who offer private lessons and club-fitting services.
Course at a Glance:
18-hole, par-72 course
Total length of 6,710 yards from the back tees
Course rating of 72.9 from the back tees
Slope rating of 124 from the back tees
Four sets of tees per hole
Designed by international golf architect Robert Dean Putman, the challenging 18-hole course spans more than160 acres. During the game (up to a $20 value per person), golfers refusing to hitchhike can navigate the terrain in one of Valley Rose's quality golf carts (up to a $10 value), finely tuned for scaling hills, making sharp turns, and morphing into a time traveling robot should the need arise. After conquering the course's lush landscape and tricky topography, golfers are encouraged to visit Valley Rose's Pro Shop to compare their scores with other recent players, or wind down in their clubhouse which features a restaurant, meeting rooms, and banquet facilities.
GolfTEC's thirteen locations in the Los Angeles area, all staffed by experienced golfing professionals and computers who've sworn allegiance to the Three Laws of golfing robotics. Motion sensors and high-speed cameras monitor your swing and break down your form on a high-definition video display. GolfTEC's certified teaching professionals point out your flaws, strengths, and coach you on how to permanently improve your game, from tee to green. Sensors chirp with approval when you've executed a perfect stroke or cracked an especially witty golfing joke.
The renowned architectural tandem of Ted Robinson, Sr. and Ted Robinson, Jr. added a true masterpiece to its resum? when they designed Robinson Ranch Golf Club. Located at the base of the Angeles National Forest, the Santa Clarita gem features two award-winning 18-hole courses?the Mountain Course and the Valley course?spread across 400 acres of land that features frequent elevation changes and fields of wild golf carts grazing on the pastureland.
The property sends visitors through unsullied stretches of sage and chaparral, with California sycamores and coastal live oaks adding their own characteristics of emerald beauty to the lush framework. The course's natural juxtaposition means that certain holes challenge players with water hazards, but other holes reward them with waterfalls. After rounds of golf, players can regroup with food and drinks amid rustic ranch decor inside the 25,000 square foot clubhouse.
Mountain Course at a Glance * 18-hole, par 71 course * 6,508 yards from the tips * Four tees per hole * Course slope of 135 * Course rating of 72.1 * Scorecard
Valley Course at a Glance * 18-hole, par 72 course * 6,903 yards from the tips * Four tees per hole * Course slope of 146 * Course rating of 74.6 * Scorecard

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is *Peanut!
Facts about *Peanut
- Breed: Siamese
- Color: Gray Or Blue
- Age: Adult

- Hair: Short
*Peanut's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, not good with dogs, and not good with cats.
*COURTESY LISTING. This pet is NOT in foster care with Leftover Pets. Please refer to contact info BELOW for more info on this pet.
Peanut is a 4 year old spayed female Siamese/American Shorthair cat. All of her vaccinations are up-to-date and is in need of immediate housing. Peanut not good with other animals. Peanut likes being around people and receiving affection on her own terms, like cuddling, being petted and brushed, but she will bite gently when she wants to be left alone. Like any Siamese, she can get cranky if you pester her, but she will be fine with anyone who is familiar with the breed. Her ideal home would be somewhere where she can lounge around near her people without being constantly petted and have a perch near the window so she can cackle at the birds. Peanut comes with a perch, a cat bed, a litter box, and tons of toys if her new family needs them. The current owner will also provide whatever litter and food they have at the time of her adoption.
Please email email@example.com or call (770) 962-8842 for more information. Emails may be able to be replied to more quickly than phone calls.

SK Interview from Frostshock
There's a lot of the usual stuff that you hear from guild after a big down, but there's a few new things in there, too -- apparently SK and other raiding sponsors are actually paying "premiums" for world first kills. Doesn't sound like a lot, but they do say they'll be able to do a meetup this summer thanks to their run in Sunwell, so that's a fairly substantial amount for playing a game. Both M'uru and Kil'jaeden are on their top 3 encounters in the expansion, along with Magtheridon, apparently. And the Sunwell "gates" system gets a pretty good review -- SK says it kept some guilds going even when they might have been burned out on the tougher fights.
All in all, an interesting interview. They dive into drama a bit when talking about the friction between SK and Nihilum, but mostly, they just stick to what it's like raiding as a professional guild in the Sunwell. It will definitely be interesting to see how these kinds of guilds react to the 10/25 man change in the expansion -- raiding has come a long way from the 40-man runs in vanilla WoW, and these guilds may have a lot more competition for the 10man world firsts.

Bank-Branch of the Future: "Meeting Point extend"
Permanent Installation, System Solution, 2012
Multi-media BW-Bank Branch in Sindelfingen
The BW-Bank (Stuttgart) has set a benchmark with regard to innovative customer approach with a bank branch format which is up to now unique in Germany: In the branch which opened at the end of January 2012 at the Breuningerland Shopping Mall in Sindelfingen, the BW-Bank presents bank products and services connected to their special account "extend" like in a fashion and lifestyle shop. The "Meeting Point extend", as the branch is called, invites people to visit the bank with its open architecture and makes their visit an experience with a multi-media installation which is unusual for a bank. The multi-media core of the branch is an interactive media table on which customers can playfully delve into the extend world of experience and "experience" information on the extra service of BW extend. ICT Innovative Communication Technologies AG (Kohlberg), specialists for extraordinary multi-touch applications, implemented this interactive exhibit with their intuitive presentation software "smartPerform" and were also responsible for other Display-Installations as well as for the programming of a complex media control for the media in the innovative bank branch.
Touch point media table
The media table, which appeals above all to a younger audience in particular due to its innovative technology, can be intuitively operated like an over-sized Smartphone. Emotionalization of the bank's offer is achieved by the display of moving images on the table and its multi-touch capability which enables several users to start their interactive voyage of discovery simultaneously. Additionally, hidden loudspeakers integrated in the multi-touch table use the body of the table as a loudspeaker membrane for a sound pressure transducer resulting in a correspondingly sensitive sound. If required, the contents selected on the media table can also be displayed in large format on a Seamless Display Wall positioned behind the table. The content for the media table – independent of data format – is centrally updated by the headquarters in Stuttgart using smartPerform and visualized on the BW-Bank-Design user interface. Due to the simple operation and flexibility of smartPerform, content and layout updates or changes can be accomplished centrally by the corresponding specialist department of the BW-Bank without programming knowledge. The updated contents are then automatically installed on all of the branch systems. smartPerform therefore offers the possibility of implementing the continuously changing BW-Bank themes simply, budget sensitively, and timely – advantages which are particularly relevant with regard to the development of further branches as extend meeting points. The integration of smartPerform in the IT-Security concept of the BW-Bank additionally guarantees the high security standard which the BW-Bank demands for hardware and software technologies for the presentation software.
Complex media control
As well as the interactive media table, the innovative room concept is rounded off with Display-Installations in the lounge and Ticket-Counter area showing emotional movies on various extend themes. ICT programmed a complex AMX media control for the entire system, which can be controlled via Netbook or via Web-browser. Using the control, various feeds can be switched for the different output devices. Furthermore, manual adjustments such as loudspeaker control on the exhibits for example can be achieved via the media control. ICT pre-programmed three scenarios for the time controlled sequence of the system taking the opening times of the bank into account and switching on and off all devices accordingly with more than 16 timer programming. The graphic design of the control interface was also implemented by ICT according to the Corporate Design of the BW-Bank, thus enabling a clear and intuitive control of the system. Using this extraordinary, unconventional total concept, which is strongly characterized by emotional content and the content flexibility of the multi-media installations, the BW-Bank can present itself over and over again in a new style and become an attraction point with a continuously changing experience factor.

10 Movies That Will Make You Nostalgic For High School And College
It feels like Nick Cannon is known more for being Mariah Carrey's husband than his own career these days. That's too bad, but we'll never forget his first lead role in Drumline as a gifted, young musician at the head of his university's marching drumline. We watched Cannon's successes and failures and thought of them as our own.It's been a while since we've been in school, and we'll keep memories of the friends, parties and good times for as long as we can. No one really remembers too much of what they studied; it's the experiences that make it all worthwhile. So the next time you want to take yourself back to simpler times, simply throw on one of these movies and let yourself fly back to those days.

Starting at week 18, I painted my daughter's belly as a countdown to 40. I painted designs that our family loves or has a connection with. I am not an artist, can barely draw a straight line, but somehow these worked out. Yes, they took hours but I wouldn't trade the bonding time I had with her and the special moments during each painting every Sunday. Since there are so many pictures, I thought it would be easier to just post the link the my pinterest board where I loaded my pics: http://www.pinterest.com/buzzsbitch/pregnant-belly
Those are so fun!

Facts about Kyra
- Breed: Domestic Mediumhair
- Color: Black (All)
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Medium
My name is Kyra!
Kyra's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, a special needs pet, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Hi, I'm Kyra. I'm a sweet but shy baby. I am still trying to get used to all the recent changes in my life. I was rescued and brought into a house where my foster parents are taking really good care of me! I would love for you to take me home with my sister Kyeesha so we would have each other for comfort. We'll adjust easier this way. I will learn to love and trust you, but be patient with me. I like furry mice and wand toys with feathers. Don't wave them too quickly though. I am looking for a place to call my own,be comfortable and give and receive love! When you do bring me home, make a 'safe' room for me while I get used to the smells and sounds of my new home. I'll adjust better this way! This will also give me a 'safe' place to go if I get scared. Please visit us at the adopion clinic on Fridays, 4-8pm, Saturdays, 10am-6pm and Sundays, 11am-4pm at PetSmart, Academy & Wyoming, Albuquerque, NM. Please call A.C.A.T. 505-323-2228 or email firstname.lastname@example.com for more info or questions! You can also inquire about fostering cats because we always need fosters! Depending on the number fosters we have determines how many kitties we can help! Visit our website too www.AlbCat.com for more info on this great organization that saved my life!
About ACAT (Albuquerque Cat Action Team)
About Our Rescue Group...
We are Albuquerque and New Mexico's first no-kill, all volunteer organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of stray, orphaned, abused and neglected cats. We are exclusively a cat organization.The Mission of the Albuquerque Cat Action Team:
1. Provide a safe haven in the form of foster homes for stray, orphaned, abused and neglected cats and kittens in the Albuquerque metropolitan area.
2. Provide veterinary care to the cats and kittens who come into our program and ensure that all cats and kittens who are adopted through our organization are spayed or neutered before adoption.
3. Relocate cats and kittens into permanent, loving homes through our adoption program.
4. Educate the public regarding the necessity of spay/neuter and responsible pet ownership and provide counseling and advice regarding cat behavioral and care issues.
5. Welcome all volunteers into the A.C.A.T. family where respect, love and support are extended to all.
6. Limit pet over-population by engaging in the trap-neuter-return (TNR) of feral cats in our community.
7. Provide low-cost spay and neuter services for cat owners.
We give alot of cats (and kittens) their second, third and maybe ninth chance! Ultimately, without foster homes, many cats wouldn't have the chances that they deserve. So many cats already end up abandoned on the street, sick, hungry, homeless, or in shelters where their fates would be very uncertain. We try to help out by taking on some of these needy cats and taking them into our homes. If you think that you could provide a foster home for a cat, please call (323-2228), email A.C.A.T. at email@example.com.

"Little by little one catches the monkey in the jungle." - Senegalese Proverb* A reader recently asked me what my New Year's Resolutions were.

In Senegal's villages, which dot lazily between scrubby fields, life is slower. People gather barefoot on stoops, pounding millet or boiling rice.
