Peppercorn Cafe is nothing if not cozy. At a wrap-around bar made of unpolished granite and waxed cherry wood, bartenders pour draft beer or cocktails as guests converse and watch football. Just around the corner from the lounge, diners gather around tables draped in white linen that brightens under torrents of natural light by day and softens under the wall sconces by night.
The homey family restaurant is the joint venture of two Long Islanders, and the menu reflects it. Executive Chef Dave Moritz sticks to the founders' North Atlantic roots with a menu filled with unconventional takes on New York seafood favorites. Pot pies, for example, come stuffed with lobster, and the crab cakes are served on cranberry scallion couscous?a break from the traditional method of serving them inside a grizzled sea captain's pipe. Little Neck clams mingle with chorizo on the appetizer menu, creating a segue into the turf portion of the menu, which includes braised beef short ribs and New York strip steak with crumbled gorgonzola.
Michael Zachary's - Pizza, Burgers, Authentic Gyros, Ice Cream combines four of the most delicious foods known to humankind. The menu is full of pizzas crowned with meatballs, sausage, and veggies; sandwiches stuffed with ground steak; and ice cream loaded with candies and toppings.
For four decades, Benkert's Classic Delicatessen has been loading patrons with ample portions from a menu of breakfast eats, salads, sandwiches, and hot-lunch dishes. Customers can jump start their day with two eggs any style ($2.50) while gulping complimentary coffee, tea, or hot chocolate and surfing the free WiFi on a free wireless surfboard. For midday breaks, specialty salad sandwiches cover beds of bread in quilts of egg ($4.25) and shrimp ($6.25) salad. Gourmet wraps and sandwiches ($6.95) include the Fat Tony, packed with six cold cuts, mozzarella, peppers, greens, and vinaigrette, and protected by a hero bun toasted for its noble deeds. Hot sandwiches such as the barbecue chicken ($5.75) are hearty enough to scare away the most intimidating hunger hauntings. Accessorize entrees with sides of mac 'n' cheese ($4.99/lb.) or mozzarella sticks ($3.99), and cross the finish line with a sweet slice of pound cake ($1.95).
At each Tropical Smoothie Cafe location, healthy choices abound with drinks consisting of fresh fruit and snacks loaded with veggies and premium meats and cheeses. The café's colorful repertoire of smoothies runs the gamut from creamy, dessert-based indulgent creations to light and refreshing low-fat fruit options or frosty drinks boosted with supplements. Strawberries, bananas, and peaches mingle with exotic açaí and goji berries to form mouthwatering concoctions designed to deliver health-boosting antioxidants, essential nutrients and laser-vision-inducing vitamins. Drinks pair with ciabatta and griddled flatbread during breakfast and lunch, as well as with made-to-order salads and a host of wraps and sandwiches.
There?s love in Fanny Cakes: love for baking, love for surprising the tongue, and love for family. As a young girl, chef Kristyn spent long days baking alongside her nana, Fanny. Those hours spent in flour and those moments waiting by the oven planted seeds in Kristyn that sprouted into a passion for baking and, eventually, the start of Fanny Cakes?named in honor of the woman who inspired her. Kristyn now relies on formal culinary training as well as the lessons learned from her nana while she crafts personalized treats for birthday parties, wedding receptions, and everything in between. She pays further homage to her nana as she works by using the sorts of ingredients Fanny loved?sweet creamery butter, belgian chocolate, and natural citrus zests?but finds inventive and eye-catching ways to showcase their flavors.
The fondant-draped tiers of Kristyn's full-size cakes conceal flavorful fillings such as lime curd or coconut custard. Cupcakes also feature inspired combinations, such as strawberry daiquiri with rum-spiked buttercream and snickerdoodle with a dusting of graham crackers and cinnamon sugar. Even with all of these flavors speaking for themselves, Kristyn still commits to presentation, designing cakes shaped like everything from a Gulfstream jet to an electric guitar. She also expands her menu beyond traditional bakery offerings by creating treats such as grown-up cake shots with doses of liqueur and cupcake push pops in plastic cylinders. She even shares her techniques with the public by leading classes that teach students how to decorate cupcakes without covering them in old two-cent stamps.

Eminem to Open MTV's Video Music Awards
The MTV Video Music Awards opening performance is typically one of the most anticipated parts of the annual show, and this year's kick-off should live up to that: Eminem will jumpstart the 2010 VMAs this Sunday (9 PM EST) at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. And you can expect the rapper (and recent SPIN cover star) to take home a Moonmen or two: Em is up for eight nominations, including Video of the Year and Best Hip-Hop Video for Recovery's "Not Afraid."
Em, who delivered an epic hometown show with Jay-Z in Detroit last week, won't have much time to rest after his appearance. He will immediately fly from Los Angeles to New York City for a gig with Jay-Z at Yankee Stadium the following day. Eminem didn't seem too happy with his stacked schedule, joking last month, "Apparently, MTV doesn't care that I have two massive stadium shows on the other side of the country the day after the VMAs. F me, right? I mean, I'll be [at the VMAs], but don't expect me to be nice about it."
Lady Gaga leads the pack with thirteen VMA nominations, including Video of the Year for both "Telephone" and "Bad Romance," while Paramore, Kanye West, Drake, and Florence and the Machine are among this year's performers.

The problem of medication adherence typically gets little attention compared with other, more pressing issues in health care. Yet higher adherence rates could dramatically improve patient outcomes while reducing overall health care spending.
Poor adherence accounts for an estimated 33% to 69% of medication-related hospital admissions, costing about $100 billion (Osterberg L and Blaschke L. N Engl J Med. 2005;353[5]:487-497). Harder to measure, but no less real, are the premature deaths and reduced quality of life for patients; increased patient and physician anger, frustration, and hopelessness; and skewed findings for clinical research.

Medication adherence remains a problem for many patients, especially those taking pills daily to avoid such adverse events as a myocardial infarction decades in the future.

These beautiful bathroom objects like washbasins and soap cookies are a creative and new use of cork, a traditional Portuguese material. Simple Forms Design, a Portuguese design company, reinvented this traditional material into curved, minimalist designs that contrast magnificently with cork's earthy tones.
Simple Forms Design's 'Cork' collection was awarded with the Red Dot design award in 2008. "The choice of this material is by itself a major innovation," its creators say. "These products have a finishing that provides them with the wear and tear protection they need for everyday use."

Thursday, August 28 10:12:50
Independent News and Media group this morning posted operating profit of E15.9m for the first six months of the year, in line with expectations and net profit that doubled from E6.9 million to E14.0 million.
Total Revenue for the period came to E157.8 million, marginally down on the same period last year.
The major restructuring in the media company that began last year and continues with its Digital First policy saw its Digital advertising revenue grow by 30pc, with significant ongoing digital investment, including new job creation.
INM said there was a net exceptional charge of E16.1m, which largely related to the company's non-participation in an equity issue by Australia's APN News and Media.
Year-on-year newspaper advertising trend continued to improve, with strong revenues from Recruitment in Ireland and from Property and Inserts.
Commenting on the results, Leslie Buckley, Group Chairman, said he was satisfied that the group's restructuring plans were making a difference.
"Following on from our very successful Financial Restructuring in 2013, the first half of 2014 produced a satisfactory set of results. I was delighted to recently announce the appointment of Robert Pitt as Group CEO. Robert's business background in retail and his change management experience make him an ideal person to lead INM into the next phase of its development."
"We continue to invest in our Digital business as we successfully roll out our strategy. This strategy revolves around our strong portfolio of market-leading national and regional brands, most notably, independent.ie, where our online audience doubled to 9.2 million unique visits in July 2014. In Northern Ireland, the BelfastTelegraph.co.uk website attracted 3.4 million unique visits in July, a 45pc year-on-year increase. We also purchased RecruitNI, strengthening our position in the important Northern Ireland online recruitment market. Digital presents a substantial opportunity for INM and is key to the future of the business," said Mr Buckley.
"The first half of 2014 showed some further positive signs in our print publishing business, as we experienced strong growth in recruitment (ROI) and property advertising. Our market-leading titles are well positioned to benefit from the expected return to growth in the Irish domestic economy."

See, my only reasoning behind maxing dazzle before imbue is for the cooldown reduction. I guess the heal is more worth it.
auraman can carry teams. Damage and heal ultimate boosts, shatters armor boost, aegis armor mag resist and dmg boosts, starks life steal atk speed and hp regen boosts, soul shroud mana regen cd reduc boosts. Add to this heal that heals others and himself at same time. Also add shatters damage and armor reduction in trade of armor bonus to allies. and last you get a stun that lasts up to 2 seconds. I'm pulling a 50/20 W/L right now at lvl 29. I love rocking the auraman. Teammates love you for psuedo tanking and ur buffs. I try to build for auras and a bt of survivability. chalice, boots(based on enemy team dodge or mag def), aegis, starks or soulshroud(based on your teams carries), then a frozen heart/spirit visage followed by the other if money allows. This gives u auras that will make the other team focus you. This allows your teammates to kill while u aura and imbue heal yourself with the bonus 30% from visage. You may not get kills, but I'm happy with a 2-4-18 win than a 10-10-5 loss. also I get skills this order. 1 dazzle, for enemy champs/possible FB, 2 imbue (to heal up after kills), 3 shatter. Then I lvl radiance>shatter>imbue>dazzle. shatter gets more defense and sick aoe for clearing creep waves and damaging enemies and adding debuff. Imbue helps you and allies staying power. Dazzle at all lvls has equal stun capability and the damage only increases for being close, I use dazzle far away for stun which at all lvls does low damage, hence 0-XX damage in tooltip. p.s. sorry for runon sentences, but I'm at work. I don't have the time to edit myself.
I main Taric and I hardly ever see many others play him. Honestly hes the only champion I can stand playing. I can build about 4-5 different ways and still dominate. I have 162wins and 89 loses as taric. The majority of that was solo queue. My only complaint is his long cooldowns, even with 40percent cdr ~_~.
Taric's a beast of a hero that brings some amazing **** to a team. I main Taric and do very well with him (except for last game, I went 0/14/6 and have no idea what happened. Worst. Game. Ever). Here are some of the advantages Taric has over Sion. Taric can be built cheaply. A solid build for Taric runs under 10k, so there's little need for him to farm super hard or get fed kills. My core build for him is Aegis, Chalice, Merc's Treads/Tabi and Spirit Visage. That ends up being like, what, about 6k gold? It's blindingly easy to get. Even if I'm being harassed really hard early game, I can get that kind of scratch without trouble. Anything beyond those items is gravy. Sion is harder to build and needs mad last hits to snowball his HP. If he gets shut down early game he'll end up being useless. A beefy Sion ends up being a bus that rolls over your entire time and eats towers for breakfast, but that's going to be very hard to build. 95% of the time Taric will end up being well built and contributing more to the team than Sion. Taric's ult is much better than you give it credit for. Once it's toggled on, it won't go off until you cancel it or get killed. CC can't interrupt it. Silence won't stop it (it will prevent you from turning it off, which can be annoying). 50hp/second to everyone around you is pretty big, especially if they have Spirit Visage. It also heals creeps (gives them a portion of the damage buff, too. I think 1/4) and gives your team a huge damage boost. If you keep it up for 10 seconds during a team fight, that's +500 hp and +45 damage to everyone on your team for 10 seconds. It's like giving everyone on your team a free BF sword and giant's belt every freaking fight. So badass. Given that it has a low cooldown, it can be used to give people some quick healing and is great for toggling while the team's being chased. Once again, 10 seconds would give everyone +500 hp as you flee from a fight. I can't count the number of people I've saved with Taric's ult. Team mate got ignited during a close gank? Stand next to them with your ult on. Seriously one of the best ults in the game. It does require finesse to use. Knowing when to cut it off to keep the rest of your mana pool intact is very important and takes some experience. His heal looks a little weak on paper, but is actually quite strong when you think about it carefully. For one, it always heals Taric. If you're targeting someone else, you're dishing out 540 HP worth of healing every cast, more since most Tarics get a Spirit Visage. Suddenly it's not looking so weak. The cooldown on his heal is reduced by 2 seconds every time he auto-attacks anything (hero, minion, structure), which can make it godly for pushing. It can also be used on minions. Have a siege minion with you? Imbue + Radiance will let that bad boy tank the tower so long as you have mana. You can still dish out heals at a decent clip in a team fight so long as you can hit something to reduce the cooldown. Stark's, which you usually get anyway, gives a decent chunk of aspd which helps with this. Since Taric's so team-centric, he's a fantastic lane partner. He heals both himself and his lane mate, gives them armor and can initiate with stuns. If you're laning with a DPSer or another stunner, it's very easy to harass the enemy or continually kill them during the laning phase. The reason a lot of Taric players (me included) pump shatter is because Dazzle + shatter by itself is a huge amount of virtually risk free damage. Dazzle + shatter + armor debuff + phys DPS lane partner = kills. He also matches up with most heroes during the laning phase. Taric + phys DPS is godly. Taric + tank is godly (lol Taric + Alister). Taric + caster is godly. Actually, Taric + Sion is one of the best lane combos in the game (chain stun, chain shield shatter, heals, gg). So in the end. Taric Pros: Above average survivability. Very hard to shut down. Great aura support (shatter, ult, items). Cheap to build with an item build that scales well. Very flexible and powerful lane partner. Synergizes extremely well with other team members. One of the best pushers in the game. Cons: Weak 1v1. Requires some teamwork to be successful. Sion: Pros: Above average survivability. Great if he can snowball well. Good 1v1 fighter. Can become a bus. Good lane partner. (his stun is great, coupled with a shield pop it can dish out serious damage. No heal hurts him in comparison to Taric). Cons: Has to snowball to be good. Moderate - expensive item build. Doesn't really buff the team (his ult kind of does, but it puts him at risk to use it and is inconsistent). Easily shut down, especially in team fights. They're both good heroes, but Sions big weakness is his heavy reliance on snowballing. In higher ELO games, people will keep him locked down and he'll be drag the team. For TT, however, Sion's an amazing pick while Taric's considerably weakened. Aura's aren't as good on TT and Sion's a lot harder to shut down. He's better 1 on 1 and in small fights, which is what TT's all about, making him the perfect balance of hard CC, survivability and damage. Bear in mind that you might just suck bad with Taric. I suck bad with Gangplank. I played like 60 matches with him and just can't figure the hero out. Almost every other GP I've ever seen does much better than I do, but I've never really been able to figure out why. If you're playing better with Sion, keep playing Sion. I love GP to death, parrrrlay is so much fun, but I had to accept I can't play him and move on. You could also be building Taric incorrectly. DO NOT max dazzle first. Who cares about a little cooldown reduction? How often are you casting dazzle each and every time it comes off cooldown? Never. Shatter and imbue are much stronger skills to level early on, and I can garauntee you'll never need to chain stun in the laning phase. I favor shatter over imbue, but it's largely a matter of personal play style and lane comp.

RNC, state GOP chairs outline path to victory
Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele and California Republican Party Ron Nehring talked with reporters today to describe an aggressive effort to support the GOP slate in November's elections.
Steele wouldn't specify how much money the RNC will sink into its victory operation in California – "a lot," he said – but vowed that candidates up and down the ticket will have the funding and resources they need, from office staff to voter databases to communications support and beyond.
Steele scoffed when asked whether the national party's commitment denotes any weak fundraising or organization on the state party's part.
"We don't do bailouts, we're Republicans," he laughed. "I love you brother, that's a good one."
"This has been a tough cycle for everybody at the state level, the county level, the national level when it comes to fundraising," he said, but Nehring has done a great job of maximizing resources and opportunities. "I think the party's going to be just fine, the victory dollars we raise are part of our commitment to our state parties … It's part of the natural course of helping the party."
Nehring added that "If the RNC doesn't engage in California, then the press coverage ends up being, 'The RNC just treats CA as a piggybank.' That's not the case here."
The state party "chose to not wait for the primary before putting out plan together for the general election in California, we put our statewide plan together some time ago in consultation with various campaigns back in the primary," Nehring said, producing solid relationships with the GOP's state Legislative caucuses and Congressional delegation as well as the National Republican Congressional Committee, the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the RNC and other party organs.
The state GOP has registered more than 140,000 new Republican voters since mid-October, he noted, and that registration effort will continue at full throttle this year before segueing into a strong get-out-the-vote effort in partnership with the national party.
"We're also setting the stage for 2012," Nehring said. "As we build out infrastructure in ca, as we build out one heck of a war room at our headquarters in Burbank. All of that will be rolled over into 2012."
"We will not concede any community in California to the Democrats," he added, be it African-Americans, Latinos or any other bloc. "This is the time for the Republican Party to build inroads into those communities."
Much more, after the jump…

April Crichton is set to leave Sonia Rykiel now that Geraldo da Conceicao has been appointed creative director — but before she started packing up her desk, she created a final collection that helps herald a new direction for the French house.
While Crichton didn't exactly abandon Rykiel's signatures, she did set them aside momentarily to consider something more Japanese than French. There were kimono shapes and allusions to the obi belt sprinkled generously throughout, along with splotches of color applied like dollops of blue whipped cream to a jumpsuit and dress. And what of Rykiel's iconic knitwear? Crichton deconstructed it slightly, leaving the weave open in places on a shirt and skirt in mint green and a poncho in gentle pink.

Avanti Winery handcrafts its own signature wine blends alongside more than 25 local Colorado wines, furnishing oenophiles with myriad grownup grape-juice choices. A bottle of chardonnay ($16.95) transports hints of vanilla, lemon, almonds, and hazelnuts to taste buds, and the popular white table wine ($16.95) melds five varietals potent enough to charm palates and steal guests' girlfriends at dinner parties. Swill sips of Avanti's table red wine ($17.95) or uncork the signature cabernet sauvignon ($22.95), bursting with maroon-tinged fruits. The merlot ($22.95) introduces cherries and a dry finish to palates, and the port III's dashes of caramel, cherry, and chocolate ($24.95) form a trio of dessert flavors in tipsifying liquid form. Avanti Winery also offers free wine tastings Thursday–Sunday from a different Colorado winery each month.
Thanks to its impressive selection of varietals from more than 95 local wineries, The Wines of Colorado has been lauded as "one of the most unique wine shops in the country" by Wine Trail Traveler and featured in the Wall Street Journal. Inside, a mural of larger-than-life bottles lines one wall, and an adjacent room houses an expansive tasting counter that stocks a lineup of bottles filled with Colorado reds and whites, which are often compared to Californian vinos. Their food has received it?s fair share of recognition as well, earning numerous awards, including Best Creekside Dining from the Gazette in 2010 and 2011. The chefs sizzle up signature buffalo wine burgers and creamy dill mahi-mahi, which guests can enjoy on the pine-tree-lined outdoor patio as they sip wine mere steps away from the burbling Fountain Creek.
Beauty may only be skin deep, but at Zolarium Tanning Studio, that's OK. Versed in a vast array of tanning and skincare services, the studio's technicians help their clientele achieve golden-bronze hues without having to withstand the sun's creepy leer. Each one is Smart Tan certified, a benchmark that measures each operator's knowledge of ultraviolet light, safe tanning practices, and ability to disassemble a tanning bed should it become sentient. They use this knowledge to monitor each tanner in their studio simultaneously, through Zolarium's networked array of horizontal and vertical tanning beds.
The beautifying treatments don't stop at tanning; DaVinci teeth whitening, Evolv airbrush, and a plethora of skincare lotions help clients maintain all manner of youthful glows. Zolarium also keeps the community looking good, giving back through charitable efforts such as sponsoring the Denver Firefighter Calendar every year.

Patrons can also select virgin or retouch relaxers ($135 and $120 when bundled with women's cuts) for 'dos newly restored to the straight-and-narrow. Saddle Rock's ample supply of Redken ($4–$28), Eufora ($10–$26) and DermOrganic ($10–$50) products help preserve the relationship between humans and their head pets even away from the salon.

Fighter Squadron 24 was originally commissioned as Fighter Squadron 211 in June 1955 at NAS Moffett Field, flying the FJ-3 Fury, and was deployed aboard USS Bon Homme Richard. In 1957 the squadron transitioned to the F8U Crusader, and on March 9, 1959, was redesignated Fighter Squadron 24. Making deployments to the Western Pacific aboard USS Midway, USS Bon Homme Richard (CVA-31) and USS Hancock from 1959 to 1975, the squadron earned the Presidential Unit Citation, Navy Unit Commendation (2 awards), Meritorious Unit Commendation (5 awards), Battle Efficiency Award (1972), Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal (3 awards), and Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal.
On May 19, 1967, while deployed aboard USS Bon Homme Richard as part of Carrier Air Wing Twenty One, Lieutenant Commander Bobby C. Lee and Lieutenant Phillip R. Wood became the first VF-24 pilots to shoot down MiG aircraft over North Vietnam. Both MiGs were downed with AIM-9 Sidewinders. On July 21, 1967, Commander Marion H. Issacks (XO) and Lieutenant Commander Robert L. Kirkwood scored the 3rd and 4th MiG kills for VF-24 with 20 mm guns and Sidewinder missiles. Lieutenant Junior Grade Philip W. Depewolf scored a probable kill. The Fighting Renegades established their reputation early as MiG killers by becoming one of the Navy's first "Ace" squadrons.
In 1975, VF-24 made its last F-8 Crusader cruise aboard USS Hancock, and upon return to San Diego, transitioned to the F-14 Tomcat and received their first aircraft on December 9, 1975.
Naval aviation officially began on 8 May 1911 when Captain Washington Irving Chambers submitted a requisition for two aircraft to be built by Glenn Curtiss.
Before that, on 14 November 1910, Eugene Ely, a civilian pilot, took off in a 50-hp Curtiss plane from a wooden platform built over the bow of the light cruiser USS Birmingham anchored in Hampton Roads, Virginia. On 18 January 1911, Ely, flying a Curtiss pusher, landed on a specially built platform aboard the armored cruiser USS Pennsylvania at anchor in San Francisco Bay.
In July 1919, the Naval Appropriations Act provided for the conversion of the collier Jupiter into a ship specifically designed to launch and recover airplanes at sea. It was commissioned as the USS Langley, the nation's first aircraft carrier. The engineering plans for this conversion were modified in November 1919 and included catapults to be fitted on both the forward and aft ends of the deck. The USS Ranger was the first ship of the U.S. Navy to be designed and built as an aircraft carrier; the ship was commissioned on 4 June 1934.
In addition, during the late 1920s and early 1930s the Navy introduced a rigid airship program. The Navy saw these as long-range scouts and launch platforms for Sparrowhawk fighters. The program never got up to speed because of two devastating crashes. The Akron crashed on 3 April 1933, killing 73 men, including Admiral William Moffett, a strong supporter of the program. The second crash, the Macon on 12 February 1935, took four Sparrowhawk fighters down with it; all but two of the crew survived the crash.
The development of aircraft carriers and carrier operations sparked a revolution in military affairs, completely and irrevocably changing the prosecution of war at sea. But that would not occur until 1941.
On 7 December 1941, carrier aircraft of the Japanese Imperial Navy launched a devastating attack on Pearl Harbor and the military and air installations in the area. The three aircraft carriers of the Pacific Fleet were at sea and were spared attack. With this attack, the face and philosophy of naval aviation changed forever. The great dueling battles between battleships became obsolete virtually overnight. Dramatic and historic events would follow.
In April 1942, the USS Hornet launched 16 B-25 bombers in an attack against the Japanese mainland led by Lieutenant Colonel James Doolittle. The famous Doolittle Raid lifted sagging American morale and shocked the Japanese. In May 1942, the Battle of the Coral Sea saw the first large-scale battle involving naval aircraft. In June 1942, at the Battle of Midway, the Japanese navy lost four carriers, one cruiser, 250 aircraft, and 3,500 personnel, most to naval aviation. The United States lost one carrier (Yorktown), 132 aircraft, and 300 men. Most historians say Midway marked the turning point of the Pacific War. At the Battle of the Mariana Islands, the Japanese lost two carriers and about 300 aircraft to U.S. Navy and Marine pilots.
Naval aviation was also an integral part of the island-hopping campaign waged by U.S. ground forces. Whether preceding or during a battle, Navy aircraft supported the ground forces with bombing and strafing runs.
On 3 October 1942, the Navy took delivery of the first production models of the F4U Corsair. Over the course of the next 10 years, until the last one rolled off the Chance-Vought assembly line in Dallas in December 1952, the aircraft would live up to its nickname—"Swift Ship"—although its domain was the clouds rather than the sea. During World War II, Corsair pilots downed 2,140 Japanese aircraft, achieving an 11:1 kill ratio.
The atomic age arrived over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. USAAF generals attempted to diminish the Navy's role in aviation by declaring long-range bombers equipped with atomic weapons had made conventional forces obsolete. The National Security Act, signed by President Harry S. Truman on 18 July 1947, furthered the bomber barons' clout by creating the independent U.S. Air Force.
In post-war America, the military services engaged in debates over their respective roles and missions. By far the bitterest pitted the Navy against the Air Force. The Navy believed that the atomic mission could be carried out partially from the decks of carriers and managed to obtain funding for a 1,090-foot flush-deck supercarrier to be called USS United States. The Air Force argued that money for the ship would be better spent on a fleet of giant B-36 bombers.
The years following World War II also marked a time of transition for naval aviation. With dwindling defense budgets and bitter interservice rivalry, the very existence of seabased airpower was questioned. Strategic bombing employing the atomic bomb had supplanted the Navy as the nation's first line of defense and minimized the importance of tactical aviation. The severity of the situation was such that by mid-1950 a carrier fleet that numbered 98 at the end of World War II had been reduced to 15.
The so-called revolt of the admirals essentially preserved naval aviation's role in the post-war world, yet new carriers would be needed to implement it. Experience was demonstrating that existing carriers, designed to launch and recover propeller-driven aircraft, were having difficulty handling jet aircraft. On 30 October 1950, the secretary of the Navy approved a budget that included provisions for a new large-deck carrier. In its final form, the 1,036-foot, 60,000- ton carrier possessed a look all its own, featuring a small island structure, angled deck, and more powerful steam catapults capable of operating the Navy's largest heavy bombers. On 1 October 1955, the U.S. Navy commissioned its first supercarrier, USS Forrestal.
On 25 June 1950, North Korean tanks and troops swarmed across the 38th Parallel into South Korea in an attack that took the world by surprise. In keeping with a subsequent resolution by the United Nations Security Council, President Harry S. Truman committed U.S. military forces to battle. On 3 July 1950, USS Valley Forge, in concert with the British carrier HMS Triumph, launched the first naval air strikes of the war, attacking facilities at Pyongyang. In this engagement, U.S. Navy F9F-2 Panthers scored naval aviation's first jet kills, shooting down two North Korean Yak-9 aircraft. Eleven large attack carriers, one light carrier and two escort carriers took part in the conflict. Navy and Marine pilots provided close ground support throughout the war.
By July 1953, when the cease-fire was signed, U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aircraft had logged 189,495 sorties. Jets had successfully demonstrated their value in combat, and the helicopter had come of age as a transport and search-and-rescue platform. Most important, the aircraft carrier had demonstrated its value as a flexible platform for power projection in a limited war, a role that continues to this day.
Though the Korean War marked the dawn of the jet age, propeller-driven aircraft like the F4U Corsair and AD Skyraider logged 75 percent of all offensive sorties flown by carrier aircraft. The Corsair lived up to its World War II reputation as a tremendous close air support platform. Ten communist aircraft fell to Corsair guns during the Korean War, including a MiG-15 jet fighter. The Skyraider demonstrated its versatility in supporting troops or knocking out significant targets. In the latter mission it was greatly aided by the fact that it could carry as much ordnance as a B-17 Flying Fortress. The two mainstays in Navy and Marine Corps jet squadrons were the F9F Panther, a rugged aircraft built by Grumman, and the F2H Banshee by McDonnell.
The Navy lost its first aircraft over North Vietnam, an F-8, during a photoreconnaissance mission. Throughout the war, carriers stationed in the Gulf of Tonkin and the South China Sea provided close air support against the Vietcong and North Vietnam. Perhaps the crowning moment for naval aviation was during the fall of Saigon in April 1972. In an 18- hour period, Marine Corps helicopter pilots air-lifted more than 7,000 American and Vietnamese civilians from the U.S. Embassy compound to carriers waiting offshore.
In the early 1970s, the Navy introduced the F-14 Tomcat, and the Marine Corps accepted the AV-8 V/STOL Harrier. At the end of the decade, a new fighter-attack aircraft, the F/A- 18 Hornet, was undergoing flight-trials. The submarine threat was confronted by the addition to the fleet of the Light Airborne Multipurpose System (LAMPS), which combined shipboard electronics with the SH-2D helicopter. During the 1970s, two nuclear super carriers, Nimitz and Eisenhower, were commissioned; Carl Vinson was launched.
As 1980 ended, the latest LAMPS version was under test in a new naval airframe, the SH-60B Seahawk. In addition, at decade's end the Navy's latest heavy-lift helicopter, the CH- 53E, was ready for acceptance by a Marine Corps squadron. They are still operational in 2001.
In 1990, during Operation DESERT SHIELD, carrier- and land-based Navy aircraft provided logistical, reconnaissance, and interdiction duties during the buildup of Coalition forces. On 16 January 1991, the beginning of Operation DESERT STORM, Navy aircraft launched from carriers in the Red Sea and Persian Gulf. DESERT STORM saw the first combat use of the Navy McDonnell-Douglas F/A-18. DESERT STORM ended on 27 January 1991, but Navy and Marine aircraft continued to patrol the no-fly zones over Iraq after the turn of the century.
As of 2001, there were 12 aircraft carriers in the Navy's fleet. Nine were nuclear-powered, and the other three were fuel oil–powered. A thirteenth carrier, USS Ronald Reagan, will join the fleet in 2003.Naval aviation also played a significant role during the U.S.War on terror that began in 2001.

Last-gen revisited: Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor
I had the pleasure of trying out the X360 version after a work friend showed up one day raging about it. It's a fucking ABOMINATION and the people in charge of this port, the assholes who gave the ok on this to reach store shelves while keeping it quiet and having the odacity to charge [s]full price[/s] any amount of money, should be: burned, beaten and then burned again! At least that's how I would feel if I would've bought the x360/PS3 version.
Thankfully I got the PC version. Unfortunately my friend didn't.
Surprised there's no mention of the studio that did the port on the x360/ps3 version, Behaviour Interactive. Apparently these guys are working on Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade. If you have any interest in that francise, well that's fucking great! Reply +4 -
Destiny thrills, but the big picture rings hollow
Is Destiny a flat game? Well it kinda is, but it kinda isn't. But it kinda is...
I really don't see the point of these type of 'blog entriess' other than to ... well, blog about it. I'm hopping jurnos will get more balls and call things as they are instead of writing diplomatic articles, as to suit everyones opinion.
Did not get the chance to try this, but from the general consensus of people the have been playing it and what I've read/heard about the game online and offline, Destiny is a giant letdown. It's a pseudo-MMO with a handfull a levels that are recycled over and over with a routine of a gameplay mechanic.
The only good point about it is that the shooting and feel of it is solid, which was a given from the start and I would not have expected anything different from Bungie. But that alone won't make me get it.
A damn shame as this was my most anticipated next-gen game. :( Reply +1 -

DICE ponders: what did people really like about Battlefield: Bad Company?
As someone who never cared about BF or anyother MP focused FPS, I had a blast with BC/BC2.
How the hell do you remake a game in a series that was never seen to it's conclusion? BF BC2 ends with a cliffhanger. Start there, make a BC3.
Also this!
The gun play in BC2 was ahead of it's game, utterly sublime, still hasn't been matched in more recent Battlefield games. Why they chose to eschew that model is beyond me.

Fables Legends is the Lionhead game you always wanted, but never asked for
I never asked for it because I never wanted it and still don't.
What I'm asking for is a next gen Fable 2 with focus on singleplayer and improved systems (world, AI, physics, quests, depth, etc). I'm asking for it because that's what I want and until I get what I want, there will be no sale on my part.

Lords of the Fallen is like Dark Souls - a next-gen Dark Souls, to say it right.
If anything I saw/read about this game is true, then NO, it fucking isn't. It sounded like it, at first, when they announced, but the more they showed of it, the more it looked like GoW with Darksiders visuals. That's not a bad thing, I look forward to this as precisely that, but this is not Dark Souls. It will not, under no circumstances, scratch that Souls itch. Reply +2 -

The Last of Us devs were originally going to reboot Jak and Daxter
As for Jak and Daxter, part of the charm of that game/series was it's art style. Looking at those artworks, I wonder what the hell were they thinking trying to reboot it like that.
Having said that, those artworks look nice, just for another game, not Jak and Daxter.

Microsoft announces Fable Legends for Xbox One
@RedSparrows No, we had MMOs for decades. Cutting out a part of, what should be, an offline single player experience with optional online features, and making it almost completely dependent on online "features" (i.e. absolutely nothing that couldn't otherwise be there for offline mode) is something that seems to be the new trend for next gen titles.
How is this any different from the always online features that got Microsoft stoned by every user/journalist/forum/blog?
I guess that's a sneaky way to indulge the [s]consumer[/s] user to accept an always online migration without realizing it. :rolleyes: Reply -1 -

Nvidia says GTA5 on PC this autumn
Not going to happen. And the wishful thinking guys can neg these comments all they want.
When you make a game for a platform you are going to announce it at least a couple of months before the release date. You don't keep it a secret so some loose lips jhony can blow the whistle on it.
Lets face it guys, it summer, there's nothing going on, no new releases, no news, sites are in dire need of HOT news and Nvidia is burning with envy that they've been left out of the next gen and their shield project is not getting the attention they hoped.
Long story short, Nvidia is butthurt and wants to feel better about "it"self so they go about it like the attention whore "it" is. Reply 0 -

At a time when game studios are shutting down left and right, when there is a ton of proven talented people out there (both from older studios or indie devs with proven track record), instead of gambling your time MODing just to be picked up by a studio, better just use that time and do your own thing.

Sony execs respond to #PS4NoDRM online campaign
Even if Sony sticks with the consumers and dosen't implement that same type of DRM they can't fight the publisher who might abandon thier system, witch might lead to fans bailing on them and giving in to microsofts machine.
So the only way this will work is if people hit the ones that are implementing this DRM (Microsoft and the publishers), where it hurts and that's sales. Don't buy that system, don't buy those games. Instead support the ones that are not implementing that DRM, buy thier system, buy those games.
Basically people need to vote with their wallets, and stay comnitted to this. And I doubt the majority will be able to do that. Reply +4 -

But unfortunately Kojima is full of shit on this one, and his arguments come of as a "brought to you by Sony ;) " add. Reply -5

Short Film: 'The Associate' Wants Your Money or Your Life
Features By Scott Beggs on May 9, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWhy Watch? This short from director Shane Leal-Willett and writer Charles Taylor is a chess match with a sniper rifle. It features a simple proposition, delivered from a swarthy traveling entrepreneur with far too many teeth in his mouth (Michael Burger). He sits down in front of a grizzled man (Brant Bumpers) who lives out in the country, and explains that he's got an associate with a sniper rifle trained on the bumpkin's wild-bearded head, but if he gets $10,000, he'll leave without a fatal shot being fired. Simple, but tricky. There's a little air in the conversation that tighter dialogue or editing could sharpen, but ultimately the work shines because of the two actors swinging deftly back and forth between confusion, laughter and empathy. It stands on a simple question of how much you trust a robber who isn't holding a gun — game theory ratcheted up to its breaking point, but either way, it might not be the best way to try to extort money from someone. There's some great drama here, some patient storytelling, and it leaves you asking yourself what you'd do if a blustery man made you the same offer. What Will It Cost? Just about 12 minutes. Trust us. You have time for more short films.

State government illustration (Nancy Stone, Chicago Tribune) |
A candidate for state representative issued a press release about a 23-year-old misdemeanor arrest, saying he believes his opponent threatened to make it public.
Keith Matune, who is seeking the Republican nomination for a seat in the Illinois House, said his opponent, incumbent state Rep. Ron Sandack, told him during a Sunday meeting that a political organization was going to reveal "unflattering, personal information," according to the press release. Matune called it a "veiled threat," in the release and later decried his rival's tactics.
"I just think this whole act is despicable on Mr. Sandack's part," Matune said Monday. "I got into this race to talk about the issues affecting middle-class families in the area and here we are talking about something that happened two decades ago."
Sandack said he shared the information as a courtesy to Matune.
"We live in the same community, and we wanted to give him a heads-up what we knew," Sandack said. "Some people think that arrests are relevant when it comes to their public officials. There was no threat. There were no ill words spoken. It was polite and cordial at all times."
In the press release, Matune said he unintentionally wrote a check for $150 that bounced in 1991, a misdemeanor according to a Virginia statute. He was in college at the time and left the area during a break, he said.
"It was a dumb mistake," he said.
DuPage County Circuit Court records show that Matune, who is now a board member for Community High School District 99 in Downers Grove, was arrested during a May 1991 traffic stop in Downers Grove when police discovered he was wanted on the fraud charge in Montgomery County, Va. DuPage records show bail was set at $20,000 and local charges eventually were dropped.
It is not clear how the Virginia case was resolved, because Montgomery County records are not available, Virginia officials said. Capt. Brian Wright of the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office said their records do not go back to 1991 and no information is available. An official with the court clerk's office also said she could not find any records pertaining to the incident. In the press release, Matune said he made "full restitution" and the Virginia charges were dropped.
Matune said he "is truly sorry for the missteps made as a college student," according to the press release.
Matune and Sandack are vying for the 81st House District seat to represent parts of Bolingbrook, Downers Grove, Naperville, Lisle, Darien, Westmont and Woodridge.

Religion, Identity and Freedom of Expression

Get AccessAbstract
This article examines the issues raised by religious adherents' wish to express their beliefs in the public domain through, for example, their modes of dress, their performance of public roles, and their response to homosexuality. It considers on what grounds religion might merit special treatment and how special that treatment should be. A common approach to these issues is through the notion of religious identity, but both the idea of religious identity and its use to ground claims against others prove deeply problematic. An alternative and more productive approach is through the notion of harm. People should enjoy the freedom to express their religious convictions subject to the harm principle, but harm should include the undermining of people's status as free and equal citizens. The article concludes by considering the grounds upon which this alternative approach might recognize religion as special and might justify giving an overriding status to civic equality.

Chris Hope's LAMP Blog - The Electric Toolbox
Linux Apache MySQL and PHP articles by Chris Hope
This is Chris Hope's blog for Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP (known as LAMP) and Javascript/jQuery. I started this website several years ago with articles about web programming, Linux and Windows tips and tricks, howtos etc.
The ten most recent articles can be found below in their entirety. Navigating the sections in the right navigation (under Categories) will bring up all the other posts, and you can also use the search box at the top of the page to find what you might be looking for.
Delete messages from the exim mail queue
Posted November 12th, 2014 in Email Servers
This post shows how to delete a single message from the exim mail queue and also how to remove all of them using the exim command line tools.
Delete a single message from the exim mail queue
Use mailq / exim -bp to show the mail queue, e.g.:
$ mailq 0m 528 1XoIxD-0001rc-8J
And then run exim -Mrm [message id] to delete the specific message:
exim -Mrm 1XoIxD-0001rc-8J
If the message is successfully deleted, you'll see this:
Message 1XoIxD-0001rc-8J has been removed
If exim is currently processing the message, you'll see this and it won't be deleted:
Message 1XoIxD-0001rc-8J is locked
You either need to wait and try again later, or get the id of the process which is currently processing the message, kill it, and then run the command again (e.g. "ps ax 1XoIxD-0001rc-8J" and then "kill -9 [process id/s]). It's probably not recommended that you kill the process.
Delete all messages in the exim mail queue
Running "exiqgrep -i" returns all the message ids for queued emails; pipe that through "exim -Mrm" and all the messages will be deleted, with the same caveat as above: if exim is currently processing a message, that one will not be deleted so you need to try again later.
exiqgrep -i | xargs exim -Mrm
And the result, if one could be removed and another one couldn't:
Message 1XoJ1U-0001sC-ME has been removed Message 1XoJ1i-0001sQ-UJ is locked
Change the hide extension flag from the command line on OS X
Posted November 3rd, 2014 in OSX
There doesn't appear to be an easy way to change the "Hide extension" flag on multiple files on OS X - selecting "Get Info" on multiple files simply opens a window for every file selected... If you have XCode installed, it can easily be done from the command line with setfile.
Hide file extensions with setfile
Run this command to hide the file extensions for e.g. all PDF files in the current directory using Terminal:
setfile -a E *.pdf
Show file extensions with setfile
And this command shows the file extensions for PDF files:
setfile -a e *.pdf
Another way?
Let me know in the comments section below if there's another / better way of doing this. The chflags command comes installed with OS X, but doesn't appear to have the ability to change the file extensions setting.
Use exim and exiqsumm to show mail queued by domain
Posted October 31st, 2014 in Email Servers
There are a number of exim commands to see what's in the mail queue etc; sometimes you need to be able to see what's in the queue by domain, to see where hold ups might be.
exim & exiqsumm
This command gets what's currently in the mail queue and then pipes it through exiqsumm to collate the data into a useful format, instead of outputting every single queued message:
exim -bp | exiqsumm
Either run it as root or using sudo. You may need to pass the full path to the exim and/or exiqsumm commands (e.g. sudo exim -bp | /usr/sbin/exiqsumm).
By domain, the output shows the number of messages, the total kb/mb of mail queued and the oldest and newest messages queued:
Count Volume Oldest Newest Domain ----- ------ ------ ------ ------ 11 495KB 14h 14h gmail.com 20 900KB 14h 14h homtail.com 154 6930KB 14h 14h yahoo.com
If you are using exim for sending bulk email (email marketing), using this command can help to show if you have any issues sending to particular mail services/servers (e.g. Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc). Then use the logs / other exim output to work out what the issue is to help fix it.
Promo codes, discount vouchers, etc
Posted October 29th, 2014 in Miscellaneous Postings (Updated December 2nd, 2014)
This post has promo codes and discount voucher codes that I come across that I find useful and may need in the near future.
Use the promo code CYBERGOOD at checkout for $8.99 .COM and .NET registrations and renewals, as well as 50% off a bunch of Name.com products. They'll be donating to Colorado Feeding Kids with every .COM and .NET registration. This is valid until December 5th 2014 at name.com - the normal price is $10.99
From December 6th to 31st, you can still get a minimal discount, using JAZZERCISE to get .COM & .NET registrations and renewals for $10.25.
Convert StudlyCaps to words with PHP
Posted October 23rd, 2014 in PHP
I needed to convert a bunch of database fieldnames in PHP from StudlyCaps to regular words, preserving the capitalization of words (e.g. from StudlyCaps to Studly Caps), and found a useful function on StackOverflow.
The solution
I'm almost certainly going to need this function again in the future, hence posting it here on my blog as a bookmark. The solution, posted here at StackOverflow, looks like this:
function StudlyCapsToWords($StudlyCaps) { return implode(' ', preg_split('/(?<=[a-z])(?=[A-Z])|(?=[A-Z][a-z])/', $StudlyCaps, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY)); }
Note that I've put the code into a function and changed the variable name from the original example.
This works even better than what I was after, because it preserves capitals that follow one another as a word, but then splits it on the next capital. Make sure you go to the StackOverflow page for a full description of how it works.
Some examples
echo StudlyCapsToWords('DatabaseFieldName'); echo StudlyCapsToWords('ThisIsATest'); echo StudlyCapsToWords('TextWithCAPSInIt');
The above examples output:
- Database Field Name
- This Is A Test
- Text With CAPS In It
Copy OS X Yosemite installer to prevent multiple downloads
Posted October 17th, 2014 in OSX
Apple's OS X Yosemite upgrade is available today from the App Store for free, and weighs in at about 5.1GB. After downloading it via the App Store it's possible to make a copy of the installer so you don't need to download it again for each Mac you want to run it on.
Note, do this before installing the update
After downloading the update, the App Store saves the installer to the Applications directory and starts it, as shown in the screenshot below.
Do not click "Continue" until you have copied the installer. The reason? It gets deleted after the update has finished running.
How to copy the installer
When the screen above appears, go and find the installer and copy it before clicking "Continue".
You can navigate to the installer in Finder from the menu selecting "Go" then "Applications" or by using the Cmd+Shift+A Finder shortcut keyboard combo.
Scroll down until you find "Install OS X Yosemite" and then copy it to some other location, such as a USB stick or external hard drive.
Now go back to the installer and click the continue button.
Run the installer on a second, third, fourth, etc... machine
You can now use the same application to install Mac OS X Yosemite on another machine. This afternoon I installed it onto my MacBookPro via the App Store, copied it to an external hard drive and then installed onto my MacMini from the external hard drive.
Is this legal?
Aside from the fact the upgrade is free, a single copy of Yosemite can be installed on each Apple-branded computer that you own or control. So yes, it's legal.
Why bother?
If you have super fast bandwidth and/or low or no data caps then maybe you don't want to bother going to the fuss of copying the installer, but if your bandwidth isn't so fast or you have a low data cap and/or bandwidth is expensive, then you might want to avoid having to download this 5.1GB update more than once.
MySQL queries to get the local part and domain from an email address
Posted October 16th, 2014 in MySql
This post shows how to extract the local part and domain name from an email address using MySQL. The local part is the part before the @, for example "chris" in email@example.com.
Get the local part of the email address
Let's assume the email address column is called "email" and is in the "users" table, and that all email addresses in the database are valid with an @ in them.
SELECT SUBSTRING(email, 1, LOCATE('@', email) - 1) AS localpart FROM users;
This gets the first part of the email address up to the @ symbol, so the resulting data for "email@example.com" would look like this:
+-------------+ | localpart | +-------------+ | chris | +-------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Get the domain part of the email address
SELECT SUBSTRING(email, LOCATE('@', email) + 1) AS domain FROM users;
This gets everything after the @ symbol, so the resulting data for "firstname.lastname@example.com" would look like this:
+-------------+ | domain | +-------------+ | example.com | +-------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Getting both at the same time
There's no reason why you shouldn't put both into the same query:
SELECT SUBSTRING(email, 1, LOCATE('@', email) - 1) AS localpart, SUBSTRING(email, LOCATE('@', email) + 1) AS domain FROM users
And the resulting data:
+-----------+-------------+ | localpart | domain | +-----------+-------------+ | chris | example.com | +-----------+-------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Debian releases and names
Posted October 13th, 2014 in Linux/Unix/BSD (Updated October 14th, 2014)
Debian releases are named after characters from Toy Story and are frequently referred to with the name rather than the version. This post is for my own quick reference for the version-to-name of each Debian release.
Debian version names
I've added the Toy Story character name into each row as well, because sometimes they're not completely obvious. For example, even though I've seen all the movies, it took looking up the name behind "Squeeze" to know it was the alien toys who first appeared in Toy Story 2.
Version | Code name | Release date | Toy Story character |
1.1 | Buzz | 1996-06-17 | Buzz Lightyear |
1.2 | Rex | 1996-12-12 | Rex (the T-Rex) |
1.3 | Bo | 1997-06-05 | Bo Peep |
2.0 | Hamm | 1998-07-24 | Hamm (the pig) |
2.1 | Slink | 1999-03-09 | Slinky Dog |
2.2 | Potato | 2000-08-15 | Mr Potato Head |
3.0 | Woody | 2002-07-19 | Woody the cowboy |
3.1 | Sarge | 2005-06-06 | Sarge from the Bucket O' Soldiers |
4.0 | Etch | 2007-04-08 | Etch, the Etch-A-Sketch |
5.0 | Lenny | 2009-02-14 | Lenny, the binoculars |
6.0 | Squeeze | 2011-02-06 | Squeeze toy aliens |
7 | Wheezy | 2013-05-04 | Wheezy the penguin |
8 | Jessie | not yet released | Jessie the cowgirl |
Sid | "unstable" | The next door neighbour |
Debian always has at least three releases in active maintenance: stable (currently Wheezy), testing (currently Jessie) and unstable, which is permanently named Sid after the boy next door in Toy Story 1 who liked to destroy toys.
Updating bash for shellshock on Debian 5 Lenny
Posted September 30th, 2014 in Linux/Unix/BSD
If you are running Debian 5 Lenny and upgrading the distro to Debian 6 or 7 is not an option, you will need to compile bash from source, applying patches in order to secure your server against the bash shellshock vulnerability.
Patching bash on Debian 5 Lenny
Follow the instructions on this page under the "Patching older and unsupported systems" section. The page is kept up to date as new vulnerabilities are found, and shows the tests you need to run.
You will need to continue to monitor the page and apply updates as and when they become available by manually patching and compiling from source each time.
Note that the compiler may stall on "checking for working mktime..." for some time, but it will continue and finish compiling eventually.
An alternative option is to remove bash from your install and use another shell instead, obviously first making sure any shell scripts you have running will continue to function.
Warning: Skipping the data of table mysql.event
Posted September 29th, 2014 in MySql (Updated September 30th, 2014)
The events table was introduced to MySQL in 5.1.6 and when upgrading you will start to see the warning "Warning: Skipping the data of table mysql.event" when using mysqldump. This is not an error as such, but more to make it clear to you that something has changed.
How to include the event table with mysqldump
Use the --events flag when using mysqldump to include the events table:
mysqldump -u[username] -p --events mysql > mysql.sql
This will then suppress the warning message from the output.
How to exclude the event table with mysqldump
Use the --ignore-table flag when using mysqldump to exclude the events table like so:
mysqldump -u[username] -p --ignore-table=mysql.event mysql > mysql.sql
This will then suppress the warning message from the output.
Output when using -T / --tab flag
This is an update the day after originally writing this post. Using the above flags suppresses output when doing a straight SQL dump to file. When using the -T / --tab flag to write the data out to tabbed data files, you will still get this output when dumping events:
-- -- Dumping events for database 'mysql' --
and this when attempting to ignore the table (which is the original message addressed by this post):
-- Warning: Skipping the data of table mysql.event. Specify the --events option explicitly.
This happens for me on two different servers which run MySQL 5.1.73. If anyone has any suggestions about how to suppress this output, while allowing other errors/warnings to be displayed, it would be greatly appreciated to prevent output from being emailed from automated backup processes.

LG Russia has announced a new slim handset, the B2250. The B2250 is a mid-range candy bar handset which support GSM network.The B2250 is a little light on the features, including only a VGA camera with the resolution of 640x480 pixel, basic pre-installed applications, and ability to play out 40 polyphonic tones. The product will be relying on its slim design in hope to give a touch competition to Siemens CC75 series which seem to be popular. But the LG B2250 is slightly thicker that the CC75. But LG is making use of this slightly broader space by fitting in a camera and a much improved 262k colour display. It also features a multi color back light. Other features includes a vibration alarm, downloadable Java games, a call minute minder, and full SMS/EMS/MMS support.
