Re:Budgest re-adjustment... (124 comments)
What about realizing that it's impossible to define security for the vast diversity of setups we all use and forget about compliance but instead draft a list of bad stuff that shouldn't happen (leaking customer info for instance) and make a law that says that companies have to do whatever they have to to avoid the things on that list. Incident would be interpreted as negligence and heavily fined.

Websites that (successfully) make noise at me are one of my pet hates.
That's why I think it's awesome that HTML5 includes sound. You can't block the sound from a plugin that's executable code that does whatever it wants, however browser makers (and extension writers) can put settings options to let you opt-out for the sounds. Or prevent things from playing until you switch to the tab that wants to play them.
Re:The competition is OSX (792 comments)
The CLI is there to stay because we like it. You don't have to use it but it is much more convenient than GUIs for many tasks. For instance, what is more convenient?:
1: Open Gimp (or Photoshop), File -> Open -> foo.tiff -> File -> save as -> foo.png
2: Open a Terminal -> "convert foo.tiff foo.png"
Sure we *could* do without the CLI, but it makes your life so much easier when you use it.
Beside, Microsoft did work on its own CLI, they called it Powershell and you can download it for XP or Vista. Not as elegant as the ones we have but at least, they aliased all the unix commands that are equivalent to their own.
Re:PDFs? (843 comments)
*maybe* it's worth giving a try again.. I kept up with Word Perfect post 5.1 since I truly loved it (and still truly miss reveal codes)
That feature would not be possible in Word. Wordperfect documents are a stream of text and tags (just like html) which makes reveal code trivial, Word has objects inside objects inside other objects until you reach turtles.
There's also "Make it fit" that others never managed to copy.
I'm not sure which mistakes you speak (I used word back then) and only switched to WordPerfect at version 13. Then I switched to Linux and Open Office but I miss Wordperfect. In any case, the reason why I like WordPerfect is because I don't fight against it like I do in the others. And it's not because I'm more used to it, I used the others for a larger amount of time.
Re:PDFs? (843 comments)
Word Perfect is still the best Word Processor and reveal code is still there. It's at version 14 now and supports the open document format.

The ~referendum that Zelaya was planning might well have been unconstitutionnal, but he didn't get to do it. Hence he did not break the constitution. Therefore the coup cannot begin to be justified by this stupid talking point.
Yes he did. If you read their constitution, you'll see that there's a section that cannot be changed or amended about the president serving only one term (too many dictator presidents clinging to power) and that it's even illegal for a government official to talk about changing it. According to the constitution, that person would lose his position and be barred from the government altogether for a period of 10 years.
Therefore, he did break the constitution and the moment he did so, wasn't president anymore.

Kindle doesn't work outside the US, period. We Canadians don't get it either(though I suspect that has something to do with our world-renowned awful telcos and monopolistic nationally propped up book broker Indigo more then anything else.)
This is not an excuse. They just have to deliver it via wifi and for those who can't use that, make a little sync app. If they are not in Canada, it's because they don't want to.
Re:porting to WINE? (470 comments)
I already knew Picasa in Linux was just the Windows version in the wrapper, but Google Earth was always expressed as being a native Linux build.
It's shameful given that it's written with Qt which makes writing cross-platform apps much easier. I have no idea what they rely on that's Windows only.
Chromium entered alpha stage which is Google speak for actual beta (as beta is Google speak for release). It's quite stable, speedy and a great browser if you can live without flash and with ads. You should give it a try.
Re:porting to WINE? (470 comments)
I wasn't criticizing people working on Wine or for CodeWeavers for the lack of support for Photoshop. The CW policy is to work on stuff people paid for first and get other programs working as a side effect. It makes plenty of sense and this is what enables them to continue their work.
I blame Adobe. The costs of paying to get that compatibility given the new market it would open to them is peanuts.
Re:porting to WINE? (470 comments)
It exists. It's called libwine. It's among others how Picasa and Google Earth work on Linux.
Also, if Wine isn't very compatible with your app, you can pay CodeWeaver to make it compatible, they are very cheap. Given this, it's surprising that apps like for instance Photoshop aren't available for Linux already (Photoshop CS2 do work on Wine but only because Google paid CodeWeavers to make it compatible).
Re:Offer the Ebook for free. (987 comments)
Why is it that so many people feel the need to give people some kneejerk economics lesson. Nothing in the original post indicates the person doesn't understand basic economics.
The post I answered to was written by the OP and it indicates he does not in fact understand basic economics. He states he has to sell it at $50 because he can't sell as many as romance novels. This does not make any sense, the price you set your book as to be the one that maximizes the profit margin * books sold equation. The fact that the book took lots of resources to create or targets a niche is irrelevant to this equation.
Sure, writing the book was a sunk cost, but that doesn't make it completely unethical for others to be stealing the product of all the hours he put in writing that book.
I didn't consider the ethical implications, I just talked about how things work in reality: if you price is above people's threshold, they will pirate it.
And the prospect of working several hundred or a thousand hours writing a technical book in a subject where you are a highly educated expert, to make the equivalent of McDonalds wages, is probably not going to encourage people to write books.
If the writing of some books is not economically viable then there is not much we can do beside grants. I still believe that meeting pirates half-way by asking them to donate what they consider fair is a good compromise. After all, even if he wishes people to pay the full price, the money he'd get from pirates paying what they want is money he'd not get at all otherwise.
I didn't specifically make an argument for an economic position,
Well, I am.
Re:Offer the Ebook for free. (987 comments)
The real cost is in the time it takes to prepare the book. It's not fair to compare the cost of a data compression book with, say, a romance title. The size of the markets is vastly different. I would be happy to sell my data compression book at the price of a romance novel if I could sell as many copies.
The money and time it took to prepate the book is called a sunk cost. The market does not care one bit about sunk costs. Apparently, people will not buy it at the price you asked, they either have a choice of doing away with the information or pirate the book. Maybe you could invite people who do that to give you what they feel is fair? If I only need one or two chapters from your book and send you five bucks, it's five bucks you would never get if you stuck to $41 or nothing.
Oh and you should read this article about setting prices.

Wikipedia is more than reliable enough for homework needs but it makes the information way to easy to reach for the teachers to be comfortable. They don't really care about what you learn or produce, they care about how much you worked for it. Wikipedia means you don't have to jump through as many hoops and they really hate that.

1 A word of Jehovah that hath been unto Joel, son of Pethuel: | 1 The word of the LORD that came to Joel son of Pethuel. |
2 Hear this, ye aged ones, And give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land, Hath this been in your days? Or in the days of your fathers? | 2 Hear this, you elders; listen, all who live in the land. Has anything like this ever happened in your days or in the days of your forefathers? |
3 Concerning it to your sons talk ye, And your sons to their sons, And their sons to another generation. | 3 Tell it to your children, and let your children tell it to their children, and their children to the next generation. |
4 What is left of the palmer-worm, eaten hath the locust, And what is left of the locust, Eaten hath the cankerworm, And what is left of the cankerworm, Eaten hath the caterpillar. | 4 What the locust swarm has left the great locusts have eaten; what the great locusts have left the young locusts have eaten; what the young locusts have left other locusts have eaten. |
5 Awake, ye drunkards, and weep, And howl all drinking wine, because of the juice, For it hath been cut off from your mouth. | 5 Wake up, you drunkards, and weep! Wail, all you drinkers of wine; wail because of the new wine, for it has been snatched from your lips. |
6 For a nation hath come up on my land, Strong, and there is no number, Its teeth [are] the teeth of a lion, And it hath the jaw-teeth of a lioness. | 6 A nation has invaded my land, powerful and without number; it has the teeth of a lion, the fangs of a lioness. |
7 It hath made my vine become a desolation, And my fig-tree become a chip, It hath made it thoroughly bare, and hath cast down, Made white have been its branches. | 7 It has laid waste my vines and ruined my fig trees. It has stripped off their bark and thrown it away, leaving their branches white. |
8 Wail, as a virgin girdeth with sackcloth, For the husband of her youth. | 8 Mourn like a virgin in sackcloth grieving for the husband of her youth. |
9 Cut off hath been present and libation from the house of Jehovah, Mourned have the priests, ministrants of Jehovah. | 9 Grain offerings and drink offerings are cut off from the house of the LORD. The priests are in mourning, those who minister before the LORD. |
10 Spoiled is the field, mourned hath the ground, For spoiled is the corn, Dried up hath been new wine, languish doth oil. | 10 The fields are ruined, the ground is dried up; the grain is destroyed, the new wine is dried up, the oil fails. |
11 Be ashamed, ye husbandmen, Howl, vine-dressers, for wheat and for barley, For perished hath the harvest of the field. | 11 Despair, you farmers, wail, you vine growers; grieve for the wheat and the barley, because the harvest of the field is destroyed. |
12 The vine hath been dried up, And the fig-tree doth languish, Pomegranate, also palm, and apple-tree, All trees of the field have withered, For dried up hath been joy from the sons of men. | 12 The vine is dried up and the fig tree is withered; the pomegranate, the palm and the apple tree-- all the trees of the field--are dried up. Surely the joy of mankind is withered away. |
13 Gird, and lament, ye priests, Howl, ye ministrants of the altar, Come in, lodge in sackcloth, ministrants of my God, For withheld from the house of your God hath been present and libation. | 13 Put on sackcloth, O priests, and mourn; wail, you who minister before the altar. Come, spend the night in sackcloth, you who minister before my God; for the grain offerings and drink offerings are withheld from the house of your God. |
14 Sanctify a fast, proclaim a restraint, Gather the elders -- all the inhabitants of the land, [Into] the house of Jehovah your God, | 14 Declare a holy fast; call a sacred assembly. Summon the elders and all who live in the land to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD. |
15 And cry unto Jehovah, `Alas for the day! For near [is] a day of Jehovah, And as destruction from the mighty it cometh. | 15 Alas for that day! For the day of the LORD is near; it will come like destruction from the Almighty. |
16 Is not before our eyes food cut off? From the house of our God joy and rejoicing? | 16 Has not the food been cut off before our very eyes-- joy and gladness from the house of our God? |
17 Rotted have scattered things under their clods, Desolated have been storehouses, Broken down have been granaries, For withered hath the corn. | 17 The seeds are shriveled beneath the clods. The storehouses are in ruins, the granaries have been broken down, for the grain has dried up. |
18 How have cattle sighed! Perplexed have been droves of oxen, For there is no pasture for them, Also droves of sheep have been desolated. | 18 How the cattle moan! The herds mill about because they have no pasture; even the flocks of sheep are suffering. |
19 Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I do call, For fire hath consumed comely places of a wilderness, And a flame hath set on fire all trees of the field. | 19 To you, O LORD, I call, for fire has devoured the open pastures and flames have burned up all the trees of the field. |
20 Also the cattle of the field long for Thee, For dried up have been streams of water, And fire hath consumed comely places of a wilderness!' | 20 Even the wild animals pant for you; the streams of water have dried up and fire has devoured the open pastures. |

Hermes' New Site Is All About Scarves And How to Tie Them
Last week Hermes launched J'aime Mon Carre, a microsite that focuses on one thing and one thing only: the company's extremely beloved printed scarves. (Have you heard of scarfies? They're die-hard Hermes scarf junkies.)
Undoubtedly inspired by Burberry's wildly successful Art of the Trench, this cool new addition showcases beautiful images of several handpicked stylish individuals wearing their Hermes scarves in all sorts of ways.
The group of girls currently being featured is divided by city (New York, Tokyo, and Paris) and includes trendsetters like Harley Viera Newton and Courtney Falsey.
While there are tons of offerings, from videos to style Q&As, perhaps the coolest feature allows you to click on a photo to see a diagram of how to tie your scarf in the exact same way.
Have you invested in an Hermes scarf?What's with All the Spam in the Comments Section?
We're sure that you've noticed the flood of spam in the comments section lately. Spammers beware--we are completely on top of it. As we figure out a way to put a stop to this madness, we ask you for your patience and that you don't stop leaving your own comments, because we love hearing from you!

Richard Russo's 'Elsewhere': unraveling the mystery of a troubled mother
Richard Russo's memoir "Elsewhere" tells the story of the acclaimed novelist's relationship with his mother, a fiercely independent single mother suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Special to The Seattle Times
'Elsewhere: A Memoir'
by Richard Russo
Knopf, 243 pp., $25.95
Richard Russo has mined his childhood with enormous energy, humor and craftsmanship. He's populated most of his stories and novels (one, "Empire Falls," a Pulitzer Prize winner) with wonderfully believable characters found in fading mill towns nestled in upper New York State.
These towns, once vibrant, clattering, stinking centers where animal hides were turned into famously excellent gloves and other leather goods, were dying by the 1950s when Russo was growing up just north of the Adirondacks foothills. His hometown was Gloversville, in what was later labeled the Central Leatherstocking District — two names so simultaneously sad and absurd that Russo might have made them up . (A place proudly named after an extinct industry not once, but twice, is the sort of stuff Russo appreciates.)
It isn't unusual for a novelist to tell her or his own story over and over, of course. Russo has been more transparently autobiographical and skilled than many of his peers. In fact, Russo has done such a good job of capturing his characters that "Elsewhere: A Memoir," seems almost redundant. Or to put it another way, this book may have been written more for the author than for his longtime readers.
For Russo, the distinction between novel and memoir makes for an important journey. "My fictional hometowns are no better or worse than the real one. They're just mine, mostly because I'm free to see them with my own eyes, whereas the real Gloversville I still see with my mother's," he writes.
Jean Russo was a fiercely independent woman who struggled with the many financial and social strikes against a single mother of her era, as well as what her son later discovers was obsessive-compulsive disorder. Her anxiety, odd rituals and rules, and periodic unhinged fury in which she would scream things like "Don't I deserve a life?" in rhetorical hysteria, came to make posthumous sense as one of Russo's daughters was successfully treated for OCD.
"From the time I was a boy I understood that my mother's health, her well-being, was in my hands ... My rock, as she was so fond of saying. My own experience, however, had yielded a different truth — that I could easily make things worse, but never better."
He is likewise never free of his sense of duty. With the sort of painfully funny irony for which Russo is famous, even as his mother trumpets her independence, she is packing up to accompany him to college on the other side of the country. She never fully leaves. If half of what he writes about his mother's later years is true, Russo's wife, Barbara, should be canonized.
There is nothing wrong with memoir serving as a mature writer's reflections on the effect of a demanding, complicated parent. One might even say that someone with Russo's impressive bibliography of eight novels (and a successful career as a college English professor) has earned the right to work out childhood stuff, finally, without the protective tissue of fiction.
Yet at the same time, it seems to me that gifted writers who publish a memoir somewhat earlier in their career often give readers a braver, more revelatory gift — think Anne Lamott and Mary McCarthy, as well as "Poser" author Claire Dederer and Cheryl Strayed ("Wild"). I'm sure there are men lurking in this category, somewhere, but it does seem as if women are more willing to reveal themselves to their readers in this way, earlier.
Blaming a gifted writer for this may not be quite fair. Clearly Russo used his books and a lot of years to figure out his mother and their connection. He began to work the issue more pointedly in his last novel, "That Old Cape Magic," which creates a mother every bit as exasperating, pitiful and wonderful as Russo's own. When he was good and ready to write this memoir, he wrote it.
But those writers who fling themselves bravely into memoir earlier seem, to me, to do it better. There is an arresting rawness (think Mary Karr) and a willingness to examine oneself from every angle that is best done by the young (or at least, younger) and very flexible.
Following that logic, the upside here may be that readers discovering Russo through this memoir and then returning to his first few titles are embarking on a delightful voyage with a gifted writer about whom they now know a great deal.

The Fracking Rush to Judgement
- Details
- Written by Nick Grealy
Opponents of UK shale gas often demand a moratorium because it is allegedly unstudied. Ignoring the multiple US, German, French, EU and Canadian reports in the No Hot Air library section, and several others from UK academic bodies like the Royal Society, shale gas has been the topic of three other studies in this Parliament. Antis will only publicise the most recent one because it's been the only one that agrees with them. Just like Climate Change Deniers, a recent UK Parliament report cherry picked evidence depending on the opinions of a small minority of often fake experts instead of the overwhelming evidence of scientists like those at the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change who see shale gas as part of the solution,
The House of Common Environmental Audit Committee report to be published on Monday says:
Shale catastrophe: For Friends of the Earth

- Written by Nick Grealy
The rejection of Cuadrilla's planning application for two sites in Lancashire is a catastrophic day - for Friends of the Earth.
For this update I'm going to depend on Ruth Hayhurst's blog Drill or Drop. Ruth is certainly sympathetic to the anti cause,but she's also extremely professional and fair. She's a journalist of the old school (she even still uses shorthand!).
In the interests of recycling, most of the work in this post comes from her reading of it. I would have dug it up sooner, but why duplicate the effort? I also hope that it coming from Ruth should make it more valid to those in the green press too eager to gloss over the details.

Surprising Validators part three: Is natural gas bad for renewables?
- Details
- Written by Nick Grealy
A key part of the anti- shale, anti- fracking and simply anti- natural gas narrative has been that cheaper gas will displace renewables. As the United States gives us the only evidence, for and against shale, what does their experience tell us? Instead of portentous sounding groups like Medact or the Scientists for Global Responsibility that have a small base of members, IRENA has the combined expertise of thousands of members from 171 nations and was founded under the auspices of the United Nations. So what does The International Renewable Energy Agency say about the energy policies of the United States? They recently issued a report:
The United States can increase the use of renewable energy in its energy mix from 7.5 per cent in 2010 to 27 per cent by 2030, according to a new report released today. Renewable Energy Prospects: United States of America, prepared by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), also says the US can increase its use of renewable energy in power generation from 14 per cent to almost 50 per cent by 2030, making it the world's second largest renewable energy user after China.

Surprising validator: Peak oil's Art Berman and a surprise on natural gas.
- Details
- Written by Nick Grealy
The second surprising validator recently is a name familiar to shale antis and readers of No Hot Air alike, Art Berman.
Art has been a consistent shale skeptic and his opinion that shale is ultimately uneconomic has provided an ever present meme in the shale debate especially in the UK. The idea that shale economics don't work and present a distraction to renewables lies at the base of many antis, from the somewhat serious and rational like Tom Burke through the tin foil hat and Occupy Brigade. To the Occupiers the uneconomic nature of shale merges into their 2009 view of a world in permanent economic crisis. Rather bizarrely it seems, they are desperate to prevent shale explorers proving them right, by allowing us to drill.
Art's basic premise is the Peak Oil theory, the idea that we're running out of gas and oil and either the physical loss of supply or it's affordability has two sub-memes. One is the survivalist doom scenario, while the more rational depend on high prices inferred by Peak Oil to make wind, solar, CCS, nuclear, Icelandic Inter-connectors, Desert Tec or the Severn Barrage and other schemes economic in comparison to either no oil at all or completely unaffordable.

I am new to autocad 2011. We are trying to implement new features in the office.
We want to create a custom door tag that automatically numbers the door the same as the room number.
Also if a second door is placed in the room they will be numbered 101, 101A, 101B ETC
I have been fooling around with it quite a bit with no success. In th object properties it says the room number is the door number. That is not what is displaying in the tag or the schedule. I have also created a tag that I can type in a suffix of A,B, etc. but have no idea how to make that automatic.
Any ideas?
iI new to this board so thanks in advance!
In a object-based Property Set Definition that applies to Doors, add a Location property that is set up to read the room number property of the Space over which the Door's Location grip is placed. Create a text-type manual property in that same Property Set Definition to hold the value for the suffix. Sorry, but I do not know of a way to automatically get the suffix to be a null string if there is only one Door to a Space, and then become "A" for the first Door and "B" for the second Door when the second Door is added, and "C", "D", etc for each additional door (and have the values reset for each Space). Add a formula property to concatenate the room number and suffix, and use that in your tags and schedules.
Forgive me David for bringing this thread backk to life but how can you have a formula add the room number and suffix together? I've tried but it always throws errors. What woudl the formula look like?
The out-of-the-box properties tend to use implied concatenation, where the formula is all on one line and looks something like this:
I prefer to do my concatentation explicitly. I find things sort more predictably and have fewer issues that way.
RESULT = "[PropertyA]" & "[PropertyB]"
[PropertyA] and [PropertyB] are presumed to be correctly created references (selected from the lower left pane, not simply typed into the upper left pane) to the properties whose value you want to concatenate. It also presumes that the values do not have any embedded double quotation marks, such as might be found in an imperial units linear dimension expressed in feet and inches.
This blog article has an example formula where the goal was to allow for a prefix or a suffix or both or neither, and may be of interest.

New Children's Defense Fund Report Highlights NRA's Efforts To Hide The Truth About Guns And Block Child Gun Violence Prevention
The NRA also has blocked guns from being regulated as a consumer product. Why in the world do we regulate toy guns and teddy bears and toasters but not a dangerous product that takes about 30,000 lives, including a child's life every 3 hours and 15 minutes? That is special interest power run amok!
Protect Children Not Guns 2013 shows how gun violence exacts a high toll on children and society. The report includes the most recent statistics on child and teen gun deaths and injuries which show that in 2010:
- Guns killed more children under 5 than law enforcement officers in the line of duty: 82 preschoolers, compared to 55 law enforcement officers.
- 18,270 children and teens were killed or injured by guns: the equivalent of 17 classrooms of 20 children every week.
- 45 percent of gun deaths and 46 percent of gun injuries were among Black children and teens, although they comprised only 15 percent of all children and teens.
- Children and teens in America are 17 times more likely to die from gun violence than their peers in 25 other high-income countries combined.
- Children and teens die from gun violence in every state. The deadliest state was Alaska with an average of 8.7 gun deaths for every 100,000 children and teens each year from 2000 to 2010, more than twice the national rate of 3.6. Alaska was 21 times more deadly for children and teens than Hawaii, the safest state.
- Total gun deaths and injuries cost the U.S. $174.1 billion or 1.15 percent of our gross domestic product.
"What is it going to take for our political leaders to place protection of child and teen and adult lives ahead of the protection of guns and profits and their election to office? We can and must do better. Countless lives depend on it. We must push the President, members of Congress, governors, and state legislators to stand up to the NRA, gun manufacturers and sellers until protecting children's lives takes precedence over protecting guns," Edelman urged.

Pros and cons of using wheel spacers
Wheel spacers are circular metal spacers put between the hub of a car and its wheel. Spacers usually set the wheel far from the body of the vehicle and are preferred for several reasons. They can also be described as devices that are placed between the hub and the wheel to make room for clearance between the two.
Wheel spacers come in two different types. One of them spots a simple design that skates on top of the wheels lug bolts while the second type integrates a bolt-on design which links to the vehicles hub. After that, bolts are used to fix the wheels to the wheel spacers.
Some of the benefits of using wheels spacers include
a) Helping in wheel fitment
In instances where wheels of wrong offset are to be fitted in a vehicle, wheel spacers come in handy to ensure the wheels fit well on the vehicle. Wheel spacers can also be used to fit wheels that tamper with suspension mechanism or the body on the inner wheel circle. In this case the wheels could be moved further away from the body of the vehicle.
b) Appearance.Another main reason why drivers prefer using wheel spacers is to add beauty to the look of their automobiles. Vehicles spotting wheels that extend towards the body edge give the vehicle a splendid look. One of the companies that have over the years used wheel spacers to style their vehicles and to make them appear more aggressive includes Porsche. It is important that when wheel spacers are used, they should not be extra wide as they might make the wheel sit far away from the vehicle body giving it an odd design.
c) Performance.
Wheel spacers also enhance vehicle handling. Once the wheel spacers are fitted between wheel and the hub, the wheel is shoved off the chassis broadening the track. This leads to a more enhanced grip and safe cornering as well. Spacers also impact on handling balance by enhancing grip on the rear of the vehicle if they are installed at the back. This leads to safe cornering as the rear wheels where spacers are fitted hold firmly on the road whereas the front tends to pull on the outer side of the road.
a) Wheel spacers can cause problems as they may push the wheels nearer the fender lips. This may affect the rotation of the wheels.
b) Wheel spacers can lead to continuous suspension and hub component wear due to the additional pressure they put on parts that were not designed to accommodate extra pressure by the manufacturers. Since wheel spacers usually push the wheels far from the hub, extra pressure is exerted on the wheel bearing and the axles, these parts are bound to fail within a short time.
c) Based on size of wheel spacers, steering may become difficult as the wider track requires extra effort in order to turn the wheels which in turn brings a lot of difficulties in turning the steering wheel. This will however depend on size of the spacer. A small spacer will have a lesser effect and vice versa.

retrieve integer from database
Ok, here is how I fixed this issue.
If someone has this same struggle, then hopefully this will help.
My original post: Date 18 Jan 2012
Title : getting data back from a php function
Overview: from the browser, I was trying to pluck out an integer value from the database and bring that value back to the browser for further use.
Nomanic, and Old Pendant, were very helpful in aiding me.
Hats off, thank you.
Here is how the fix went:
Client-script code calls the server using Jquery $.get()
Server-script code calls the database and plucks out a value that I need, then echo() that value back to the calling statement.
Client-script code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#mainContent a').click( function()
$.get('getStatus-server-script.php', {data:0}, processResponse);
function processResponse(data,status){
if (status == 'success') { statusIndex = data }
else { statusIndex = 'error' }
}; //end processResponse function
return false;
}); // end mainContent.click function
}); // end document.ready function
Server-script code:
mysql_select_db($database_connFtH, $connFtH);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT status_index FROM status_table ORDER BY row_id DESC");
$row_result = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
$index = $row_result['status_index'];
echo "$index";
Short explaination:
the client-script code calls the server using Jquearys $.get() command
$.get('getStatus.php', {data:0}, processResponse);
function processResponse(data,status){ .. }
in order to get back an integer from the DB, I had to send out an integer {data:0} as an object literal. And then it worked great.
The server processed getStatus.php with no trouble and echod back the integer value that it retrieved from the DB, and a success string.
The server script code connects with the database and then SELECTs the column where the data is, and brings the column of data back in DESCending order, so that the latest column entry will be first in line to be plucked out of there.
The next line grabs the field or column names, for easy access.
Finally the line $row_result[status_index]; does the plucking and assigns $index the value of the latest DB entry. That easy.
Again, thank you Nomanic, and thank you Old Pendant.
Hopefully, someone will have this issue to solve and my fix will help them out.

The body of a lovely young woman is found in London's fashionable Docklands area. She turns out to be Annabelle Hammond, the director of an old family firm of tea merchants. She was a woman of tremendous talent and sexual appetite, but also the kind of harsh and abrasive personality that provides plenty of motives for murder. The Hammond family is also historically linked to the self-made property developer Lewis Finch and his son, an activist dropout and street musician. The other suspects include a spineless boyfriend who works at the tea firm, a secretary too loyal to be true, and herrings of various shades of crimson. Kincaid and James have to solve it all, even as their own personal problems threaten to intrude. Thanks to Crombie's enviable ability to bring people and places to life with a single phrase, the story zips along like the new Docklands electric railroad.
Previous Kincaid-James books in paperback include Dreaming of the Bones, All Shall Be Well, Leave the Grave Green, and Mourn Not Your Dead. --Dick Adler

Box and Contents
AMD provided us with an ASUS M4A89GTD Pro/USB3 for our 890GX testing. This board has more than a few nice features. Let's take a look at them now.
As with all of the new "Pro" boards from ASUS, we find the box to be an interesting contrast.
The light green color is for AMD (as the blue is for Intel). We still have to deal with the large "medallion" on the front, but there are some nice logos to get our attention on the front of the box. The biggest one is the Core Unlocking ability. The handy feature allows some tri-core and even dual core Phenom II and Athlon II owners to open up additional cores on their CPUs.
The back of the box goes into a little more detail about the major features and even provides a detailed image of the board and what you get with it
Inside the box is the usual compliment of goodies with two interesting exceptions. The first is a card and the second is a pair of SATA 3.0 cables.
The SATA 3.0 cables look almost exactly like a typical SATA II cable with the exception of the split and the white plastic "label" on them. They almost look like some of the early SAS cables I have seen, without the power and extra three pins that is.
The included card is odd and says it is needed for full x16 single card mode. What is odd is that it says you need to put this in the "black" PCIe x16 slot, but as you will see below there is no black slot on the board.
However, if you check the manual it does explain which slot they mean; it is the top x16 slot (the grey one). This is only needed to get full x16 performance from the lower blue slot, but even without the card in place the slot will work, but it will just be limited to x8.

The Valentine's Series…Traditional Dating Remixed
By Monique Boyd
When I was a little girl growing up, I would hear my elders talk about the proper etiquette for a young lady or what I like to call the "do's" and "don'ts" of dating. Men had rules to follow too and were certainly not excluded but they usually followed suit with what was expected for women. It all seemed so simple back in those days as compared to modern times when you have to guess who will pay for the date or if you will get a "call back" after the date has ended. Maybe it's time to revisit those days. Well at least revisit the rules that were set in place to ensure a successful courtship and see if we can update them to suit our modern day needs.
First, I'll start with the ladies. As young ladies, we need to value our worth. You see, the more confident you feel about yourself on the inside, the more it will show on the outside. You have to believe you are worthy of a guy who treats you like a queen. If a guy is not treating you like the queen you are, he is not worthy to be with you. There's plenty of fish in the sea. You have to know how much you bring to a potential relationship and that any man deserving of you should know this and respond to you accordingly.
Fellas, don't think I forgot about you. It is critical for you to maintain a certain level of confidence too. As a matter of fact, I recommend not leaving home without it. Women look forward to meeting men who are confident and can take charge on a date. It's such a turnoff for a man to be indecisive and "wishy-washy" on a date. Generally, women want men who have a clear direction and purpose for their lives and that she can look up to and admire for his endeavors.
Now, while dating has certainly changed since I was a little girl, some things never change. I still believe women enjoy it when a man approaches her rather than vice versa. We still enjoy receiving phone calls from men as opposed to texts as well as men asking us out on dates. I've listed a few of my favorite do's and don'ts below that can still be applied to our modern day dating world.
Do's –
1. Men – please do plan dates in advance. Sure, last minute dates are fun in the beginning and creates a certain level of spontaneity for us. But sooner or later, it gets old when we may have already made plans with our family and friends and you expect us to drop those plans because you called at the last minute.
2. Women – please be ready for the date on time. Yes, I know that you are only trying to look your best but it's really not cool to keep the guy waiting, particularly if he has made reservations. Try to time yourself on how long it takes you to put on your clothes and apply your make-up so you'll be ready on time.
3. Men – please do be chivalrous. Open the car door for us or pull the chair out for us to sit. If we seem a bit parched, offer us another drink. Surprise us with flowers on the first date. We notice these things. The more chivalrous you are on a date, the better your chances of having a second one.

Does anyone know if there is such a kit available? It's for a WT-38-1. Can't seem to find one anywhere. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Checkout the Walbro Partstore.com Site your kit is $10.61 |
Thanks ewalk. I coulodn't find it on their web site so I emailed them the information. Do you know what the part# is? I got a hit on the FS61 model and also a hit on the WT-38-1 - but nothing came up after that. |
I think it was K-12 WBT . I tried just now and could not get back in ...strange ! I have bought rebuild kits previously from them for both WD & WT , but its been a few yrs. I know in the past when trying to x-reference some older Zama carb kits it was really tough with Stihl lol. Let us know what they come back with . |
Check on Ebay # 321210456716. Think this will work? |
I refrain from buying carb kits on Ebay or Kjiji since your at the risk of buyer beware. Did you get any response from the Walbro Parts store ? You can also call them direct . |
No, i didn't hear from them. I'll call them tomorrow. |
Walbro said the K10-WAT kit will work. Now I'm wondering if the K20-WAT will work also. |
Did they quote you the $10.61 for the K-10 ? As for the K-20 some items are similar as gaskets , but usually Diaphrams and welch plugs are unique to individual Models. Also the inlet needle valves are common where as the fulcrum roller pin can be one off. Better safe than sorry go with the manf. advice. |

Mvron, did u actually look at the carb confirming it is a walbro? My FS65 motor looks just like yours. Yours and mine were made in Japan by Kioritz. My FS65 and old FS80's had carbs made by TK. The 65 tk carb can be mistaken for a walbro. Just saying... |
Outsider: The Walbro Wt 38 was used on the following Stihl FS Trimmer Models 51 , 61 , 65 , 80 & 90 . |
Thanks to all for advice. Now I took the gas tank off. I want to start to clean downstream before I get to the carb. Went to the Stihl dealer to find a fuel line tank filter. He had a really tough time finding antthing that would work. It's all plastic now - not metal. will try to clean/wasdh the gas tank fuel line filter. The on/off fuel line lever is broken off - but the shop guys said it was broken "on". Does anyone know whether clockwise/counter clockwish turns the line to "on"? will probably need a plier to turn it. I did check the compression - it has some. Still might not run |
Ideas on a "how to" video or literature on rebuilding a Stihl/Walbro carbs.. |
- Posted by the_0utsider (My Page) on Thu, Oct 31, 13 at 21:38
mvron, yours doesnt have a filter on the end? cuz replacement pt is 1 piece hose+filter. Also, i recommend switching to the carb used on current fs80 cuz the original is gravity feed and after trying rebuild my original carbs, it would still run erratic. Also, if yours runs for a few min then starves for fuel, the orig requires a hole in the gas cap to allow air in to the tank. I couldnt turn it over without spilling gas. W/ the fs80 carb, I get steady idle and can trim sidewalks now. For the gas shutoff, one of mine was also a nubb. i took a nut, screwed it onto the nub with epoxy, then drilled a hole for a nail as the handle to turn it. Adjust the 2 screws that hold the shutoff. Oh also, it turns 360. ps. |
Here is a link that might be useful: FS90

clarification ewalk - wt-38 obviously couldnt be used with the current versions of fs65,80, and 90 because these have 2 lines. It looks like stihl\Kioritz switched to walbro\plastic filter holder, during production of the old fs65 but the ones i have come across, its is a TK with aluminum filter holder. mvron's looks like the older ones like mine. mvron, if u do go wtih a wt38, if you want to add a primer - get a small rivet, make the vent hole over the diaphragm larger, then install the rivet sticking out that hole - push it to prime. |
outsider : The units I was referring to would be vintage over ten yrs . The walbrostore shows the WT-38-1 as Oem Stock Carb as I stated . These do not have primer functions. just butter fly choke . Same as used on 029 Stihl chainsaws of about the same vintage . You are correct that newer Stihl saws and trimmers have proprietary style carbs that are often only serviced via Stihl authorized dealerships. I have not serviced any of the newer units , only the older Walbro and Zama carburated Stihl powerheads. |
- Posted by the_0utsider (My Page) on Sun, Nov 3, 13 at 22:10
Note round TK logo upper left on carb. From my own inquiry, I dont know why but stihl disseminates no\incorrect record on these trimmers' original parts. |
Here is a link that might be useful: fs65 manual
I puchased the Walbro WT-38-1 - twice because both came with the built in choke lever. I wouldn't spend this time and money on this unit but because it runs good with starter fluid and I think it's a quality product. I got the new gaskets also. The fuel shut off is broken so the Stihl dealer told me that the part replacement for this is 4114 350 3500 - the pickup body. I haven't order that yet and don't know if it comes with the fuel line also which I want to replace. It appears that upon assembly, the choke lever on the new carb - which the old dosen't have - has to be open in order to operate the choke lever on the air cleaner cover that came with the orginal unit. The dealer told me that the replacement pickup body is all one unit and is all plastic. Does all this sound reasonable? thanks for ideas. |

For the trimmers with the Walbro carbs, the K10-WAT is the correct kit, which is still the most common kit anywhere, any mower shop should have dozens on hand. Many of the fs61s had the TK carb. |

Is the fuel line with filter inside the tank ok? (mine have hose\filter 1 piece) Do you have the "rubber block" that filts onto the tank and that the fuel shutoff plugs into? I will post a picture of how to hack the broken fuel shutoff valve to work for $0 later. For now, I would leave the air filter holder off and bolt on the carb with some washers to fill for the holder for now. You can turn the choke with pliers until u get the motor working. You can deal with the air filter holder later. |
The fuel line inside the tank is OK. Yes, I have the "rubber block". I found out that the gaskets that fit on both sides of the carb are not the same size. After I put the small one on the engine side of the carb and the larger one on the airn cleaner side of the carb, I can turn the choke lever on the new carb with a pliers. It would work better for me if I can leave the new choke lever - the one that opens with a plier - open and run the engine using the old choke lever from the air cleaner cover. I ordered the new pickup body - 41173503505 - from the Stihl dealer. We will see. I would be interested in the fuel shutoff work-around you have if you will post that. I;'m not sure if the new pickup body is going to work. |

Here is my cheap fix for the gas shutoff on my fs65 (with the c1q carb)- -Take the shutoff shaft and file\grind it down so it is a straight shaft. -Find a nut that will screw on to the shaft digging into the plastic but not dig in too much or else the shaft will break. Grab a nail to use as a handle and get a drill bit of the size of the nail. -Line up the nut so the handle lines up updown for ON and leftright for Off etc. Take the nut and drill a hole through for the shutoff handle. Dont drill the nut while it is on the shaft or else it will melt the shaft. -Tighten the two screws left and right of the shaft to stop the shaft from turning and tap or just screw on the nut. Make sure to get enough thread so it has a good grip. Screw on the nut and drill the hole through the plastic using the holes u drilled through the nut. Make sure not to drill out all the plastic. -apply epoxy (you can rescrew on the nut with the epoxy if u want) to hold the handle in place and prevent the nut from falling off. -Let it dry overnight . The plastic shaft is tapered - there is no rubber gasket so the screws left and right of the shaft need to adjust accordingly not too loose or it leaks. Adjust accordingly and Viola! u r done. |

1 tidbit i left out, when u screw on the nut, you can hold the shaft from turning with needle nose pliers along with the friction from tightening the screws. |
- Posted by the_0utsider (My Page) on Thu, Jan 23, 14 at 0:55
btw, I think i mentioned this in another post but being your carb doesnt have a primer button, here is how you can hack a primer in your carb: -the bottom of the carb has a plate with a hole in the middle. remove this plate. -go to truevalue\ace and get 1 small rivet. -drill the hole bigger if necessary for the rivet to freely slide in. -insert the rivet from what will be inside of the plate u removed and drilled so it will dangle when u put it back together. -reinstall the plate to the carb. Press the rivet up as needed to prime the motor. Done. Logic: the plate covers the diaphragm that moves up and down according to the vacuum pressure in the carb. As it is pulled up, it lets the carb needle open feeding gas in. Your pushing the rivet artificially pushes the diaphragm up, opening the needle, letting gas into the carb - there is your primer. |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Girard lauded her spontaneity, caring nature and cultural intelligence. "She read a lot. I remember a long conversation we had about Bruce Chatwin," he said.
Inès de la Fressange, no slouch in the je-ne-sais-quoi department, marveled how de la Falaise could assemble disparate and even humble items — ethnic jewelry or thrift-shop finds — and elevate them to the height of elegance and sophistication.
"It was not a question of looking wealthy, but just looking chic," she said. "She had it in her blood."
Paris-based designer Andrew Gn recounted with exacting detail what de la Falaise wore when he, fresh out of Milan's Domus Academy, first laid eyes on her: a skinny dark brown turtleneck tucked into gray flannel pajama pants, her waist encircled with a giant brown crocodile belt, her wrists jangling with bangles in wood and metal.
"She really exemplified what French chic is all about," Gn said. "She brought a lot of style to Saint Laurent."
In an interview in 2003, de la Falaise insisted her outfits were never studied.
"I never think ahead about what I'm going to wear," she said at the time. "I get out of my bath and then I dress. Sometimes, it's a new pair of shoes and I work around that. But sometimes it simply depends on what's at the cleaners and what's around.
"I never think in terms of what's fashionable or not," she continued. "It's totally instinctive. I'm actually terrible about thinking ahead. When people say, 'What are you going to wear?' — that gets me very nervous. When I throw things together at the last minute, I'm happy."
Echoing other observers, de la Fressange also lauded her friend's irrepressible sense of humor and irony. "She saw the funny part of things all the time," she said. "She loved to giggle."
"So elegant and fun," said a rueful Ariel de Ravenel, de la Falaise's longtime friend and business partner. "Anything she touched became beautiful."
Semiprecious stones were among the designer's favorite materials, de Ravenel said, though she also got excited about wood, crystal, Moroccan beads — you name it. While de la Falaise designed cuffs, earrings and rings, "you always picture Loulou in a necklace."
Louise Vava Lucia Henriette de la Falaise was born in 1948 to an English mother and a French father, and first came to Saint Laurent's attention during the Swinging Sixties.
Then an editor for Queen magazine in London, she was famous for her outrageous, extravagant style. When Saint Laurent hired her in 1972, her role was not clearly defined. Certainly one of the glitziest members of his entourage, she was an ambassador, friend, confidante, party pal and a glamorous mascot for the house.
Her design responsibilities became formidable, however. She was involved in ready-to-wear and couture as well as directing accessories and jewelry. For the last 10 years of the couture house, she designed the couture jewelry collection. Counting the house's various in-house lines and licensed collections, de la Falaise designed more than 1,000 pieces of jewelry a year.
De la Falaise had a broad fashion appetite and wore brands including Louis Vuitton, Prada, Jil Sander, Martin Margiela and Yohji Yamamoto, in addition to YSL, though she never resembled a billboard for anyone's style.
"I'm not a very strict person. I'm more of an extravagant type of person," she once said. "I'll keep on mixing because it's more inspiring.…I think fashion goes through phases. I just wait for them to be over."
De la Falaise is survived by her husband, Thadée Klossowski, a son of the artist Balthus, and their daughter, Anna, an art historian specializing in contemporary art.
She is predeceased by her brother, Alexis, a furniture designer who had decorated her Rue de Bourgogne shop, and her mother, Maxime, a celebrated model, food writer and social maverick.

Amboseli National Reserve is at the foot of Mt Kilimanjaro, close to the Tanzanian border. Amboseli is one of the smaller reserves but it has a wide range of wildlife, even the endangered black rhino.
Meaning a "place of water" in Masai, Amboseli has an endless water supply filtered through thousands of feet of volcanic rock from Kilimanjaro's snow melt, which form into two water springs in the reserve. However, if the rainy season is particurlarly dry, Amboseli changes into a dusty plain but in the early 1990's ceaseless rain changed it into a swamp. Amboseli's dust is ancient volcanic ash, whose salt crystals shimmer on the surface of the parched lakebed during the dry season, creating mirages.
The park is known for its elephant population and old bull elephants here can have some of the largest tusks in Africa. Also in the reserve are buffalo, wildebeest, zebra, giraffes, impala and warthog. The carnivores include lion, caracal, jackal, hyena and serval cat. Cheetah and leopard are not readily seen. Bird species includes pelican, flamingo, king fisher, African fish eagle, ibis, secretary bird, crowned crane, grey and Goliath herons amongst others.
The long hot and humid rainy period starts around April and lasts until June, then the short rains come during November and December. The dry season runs from January through to March (hot and dry), while July to October are warm and dry.
