FDL Book Salon Welcome Douglas Bevington, The Rebirth of Environmentalism: Grassroots Activism from the Spotted Owl to the Polar Bear |
By: Robert Eshelman Sunday September 19, 2010 1:59 pm |
Douglas Bevington's The Rebirth of Environmentalism comes at a very important moment. The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the largest in U.S. history. Then another in Michigan. Heat waves and record temperatures across the South and along the East Coast. Massive fires in Russia, that ripped into wheat supplies and sent prices soaring. Floods in Pakistan that have displaced at least 20 million people, one-fifth of that country's population.

société sérieuse, je n'avais pas reçu ma 1ère commande. FEELUNIQUE m'a remboursée et tout a été parfait pour ma 2e commande
el envio demasiado lento
I'm afraid I don't like this stuff at all. I was looking for an alternative to the Milkshake No Frizz Glistening Milk which FeelUnique seem to have stopped doing and which I'm struggling to find anywhere that doesn't charge the earth to deliver it. After checking through various reviews of similar products, I decided to give this one a try - and now really wish it had been one of the ones you get samples for to avoid the waste!
I've used it a couple of times and it has an unpleasant (to me, anyway) artificial watermelon smell, in addition to being quite sticky - I have to wash my hands really thoroughly after use. And of course, the most important point is that it doesn't do what I'd hoped: after use my natural ringlets are neither smoothed nor accentuated but a bit stiff and bearing an annoying resemblance to cotton candy. I'll be looking for something else next time.
livraison rapide sans problème
Tardan entre 15/20 dias pero no hay pedidos perdidos
Great for giving my long thick hair with natural curls more definition. It is a light cream which smells nice, only use a small amount at a time so it lasts ages. Definitely the best product I've used for my curls.
Évaluation du service : Les prix sont tout à fait intéressants, la livraison a été effectuée dans les temps et dans un joli carton. Rien à redire. Je recommanderai certainement via ce site
Produit : J'ai découvert ce produit chez mon coiffeur qui l'utilise. Les boucles sont joliment formées et légers. Je répartis bien le produit dans mes mains avant de l'appliquer sur mes cheveux, afin d'éviter un effet carton. Je suis plutôt satisfaite du résultat
Normally use sexy hair equivalent but also like this product. Both excellent.
Doesn't help to enhance curls. Better things on the market.
Bought for boyfriend and his wavy locks. He absolutely loves it - always looks to re-buy so that means something as he can be picky. A little expensive though. Luckily, on this occasion it was on sale here. Would still buy though if full price - just less easy to hand over cash.
Good service
will definitely order from your company again
Use it regularly.
Nice product
I've used curvaceous for a number of years now, occasionally I try a different product that has great reviews but I always return to curvaceous because I haven't found a product yet thats this excellent for my hair type. I have naturally curly red hair mid-long length, its great for my frizz and fluffy days all reduced to well defined shiney curls.

By acknowledging our shared humanity, we can begin to build bridges, friendships, and relationships — and heal past memories and create new ones.

It is Easter week. This week, we remember the events from Thursday's meal to Friday's torture to Saturday's silence and Sunday's mystery.
Years ago, 13 years ago in fact, I fell apart. I was 22 and I had already been sick for a year. It had started with a bad flu that had never gone away. After 12 months, I was bewildered and dizzy and achy, confused with a fatigue and an illness that would take a further five years to diagnose and a total of nine years to recover from.
Japan has been on all our minds and in all our hearts. There doesn't seem to be enough capacity in the human soul to witness nature unleash its force on man in this way. Helplessness still sits with us even after the contributing of funds to relief efforts.
The magnitude of the disaster and continuing saga has made us all feel vulnerable to the uncertainty of life. We can't fathom how recovery can possibly follow such devastation.
Then there's me here in my studio just painting clouds and wondering how what I do could possibly matter. And then today I happened upon this Rilke poem after I finished the painting shown above. And the words could not be more profound and with them my painting feels right again.
Threshold of Spring
Harshness gone. All at once caring spread over
the naked gray of the meadows.
Tiny rivulets sing in different voices.
A softness, as if from everywhere,
A magical description of the primordial silences of people and places outside urban corridors by Taline Voskeritchian.

While going through the process of divorcing my husband, living as a single mother with my daughter, working full time in a classroom for severely physically and cognitively disabled children, and going to college full time in the evenings, I began to ponder what true love is. It was during this time that I had the following experience with a wonderful lady, Ms. Fran.

I so enjoyed your show with the poet Ms. Alexander. It emboldened me to forward one of my poems. "Twisted" is a biographical and personal reflection of God's grace unfolding in the life of someone (myself as well as others), who with the benefit of years of hindsight, can agree with those before them who said, "My soul looks back and wonder, how I got over!"
By Empty Tomb
A bastard born,
Not meant to be,
No concept of my father's tree.
Without a compass, adrift at sea,
Another brother … twisted.

Christmas is almost upon us. In seeking God during this time, I have sought renewal in the darkness of winter, in the stillness in which to hear God. This fourth week of Advent brings promise of harmony, that the (often disjointed) pieces of our lives, hearts, and emotions might be joined into a single, but rich and layered, sound of joy.
"Human Tapestry" is a three-dimensional painting running on and off the canvas that measures 6 feet high by 16 feet wide by 24 inches deep. The work is visual prospect for international peace and the continuation of life on our shared planet.
Eleven life-sized figures represent various countries and political ideologies. Each is draped in her own flag, her own nationalism, seemingly separate and distinct from that of any other country. While each flag is a symbol of a reciprocal system of language and customs of the people of an individual nation, it also serves to define geographic boundary lines on the earth.
The flag then becomes a symbol of separatism rather than alliance. Instead of recognizing our common human bonds and celebrating our universality, we see ourselves as isolated and often superior to one another.
A guest contributor reflects on how being still with life's deaths and resurrections connects her to the universe.
A guest contribution from a Christian Scientist on "Splitting Infinity" and the play's balanced depiction of his faith.
When I first heard the interview with Matthew Sanford on the radio, I was moved beyond words. I wanted to hear it again. The second time I heard it, online, I was more moved still.
I wanted to understand what had touched me so deeply beyond his extraordinary story of loss and victory, and the candid and engaging quality of his telling. There was something else I could hear in the silences between his words that mesmerized me. What was it, exactly? I still do not know, but I keep asking the question.

I was thinking about champions who always build triforce, and i wonder if the new frenzy for armor pen could possibly take over this item. For instance, would Jax benefit more from a Black Cleaver? Or possibly a Last Whisper? And a quick side note: is triforce viable on Lee Sin? Just a couple of questions that have been floating on my mind, and some nice feedback from more experienced players would be nice. Thanks!
Kawaii Katarina
Well, for Jax, I wouldn't say Black Cleaver would benefit him more than Trinity Force because of his mixed damage. Trinity Force is perfect on Jax, it really compliments his kit. While Black Cleaver will only procs on physical damage, which not of his abilities do. I am not familiar with Third Strike exactly, isn't it magic damage? I don't see Last Whisper working on Jax either. You can get it on him but it's really not worth it. It'll help his late game but the problem is he will fall off no matter what and Trinity Force is still expensive. The Sheen part kinda hurts you too, seeing as how you don't get the most out of it. Now, Black Cleaver and Last Whisper do work on Lee Sin though, even then, I'd recommend Last Whisper at best on Lee.
Poppy will always build trinity force or Lich bane. I don't think any armor pen on her would be powerful
Junior Member
In the current warmogs meta armor pen is actually quite weak. And most lee sins do not build a trinity.
You really have to look at your build. Think about this: Is this going to help me? Does this work well with the items I plan on building?
Triforce has tons of damage. no alternative for that.
Link tries to put this together every game. It's never his first item obtained but it is always his ultimate quest to build it. He always builds it one piece at a time, never all at once. In the end, once he has this item of power, he will defeat the powers of evil that dwell within Summoners Rift.

I just finished reading through the blog entry and found this:
"This release of the shopping cart allows logged in users to Add to Cart from item pages and Checkout. In future releases we're looking to add:
Add to Cart from search results and collections
Add to Cart while logged out
Edit quantity <-- (Best news I've ever heard from Envato Market)
Item recommendations"
Having an Edit Quantity option in Envato's new shopping cart is like the moment of joy after having a really painful wisdom tooth removed. That's exactly the thing we needed, especially when buying sound effects.
Not really much I'm looking for in particular, actually. I've already bought most of what I wanted (I buy things I want before Christmas arrives because chances are slim I'll have it given to me as a Christmas present. That way, I'm not disappointed if I don't get it. ).
That said, I would like to have a few gadgets in my possession, such as:
1: An MP3 player that I can plug into a speaker system. My mom has an iPod Nano and she plugs it into a stand that plays her favorite music through a pair of speakers. If I had my own, I could play my music, sound demos, and ambient tracks on it.
I actually listen to one of my Audiojungle items when I go to bed (called Mystic Ambience 2) on a CD player I have in my room and it helps me sleep peacefully, especially given the fact that I am many times more nervous when sleeping in dead silence than sleeping in the dark. When I was a kid, it was the other way around.
2: An external USB HD, with at least 250 GB on it. Small enough that I can slip it into my pocket and that it doesn't need to be plugged into a power strip like some of the larger and heavier ones.
3: A decent webcam because I don't have one anymore. I do have a Kinect, but I'm hesitant to use that on Skype, especially after what happened as a result of me trying to use my Zoom H4n microphone to try and talk to my friends on Skype. When I did that, Skype froze, my computer crashed, and the power in my house went out.
(I'm still unsure if it was the mic that caused the blackout because we had a big storm that day and lighting struck at close range the exact moment my Skype froze. Go figure! )
That's all I've got for now.
Funnily enough, the last item that sold was called Suspense.
By the way, Happy Thanksgiving!
While everyone else in my family is drinking wine, I've got Welch's Sparkling Red grape juice.
I don't know what'll happen when this VAT policy goes into effect; I just want to know I'm safe from the evil Tax Fuhrer when he starts knocking on people's doors to collect.
collis said
Hi guys, some broad answers to a few of the comments:I think the main point here is that authors won't receive or have responsibility over the VAT paid. In the transaction chain, for VAT purposes, Envato will step in as the supplier and manage the compliance.
If you're concerned about a specific situation, please don't hesitate to email email@example.com. I've been on the phone with ThemePunch (wish we were talking for a more fun reason, but really cool to speak to them!). We are committed to our community and work with authors on specific situations.
Oh thank goodness, I was worried.
It's not the VAT I was worried about, it's the spaghetti legalese I was dreading.
After seeing the way this article was worded, I'm a little suspicious of what's potentially heading our way in 2015. To me it sounds like we're about to get hammered by more than just a VAT.
Does this mean at some point, we'll be required to fill out a tax or VAT form in order to stay out of trouble with the EU?
To be honest, my #1 best-seller only took me about 5 minutes to make when I uploaded it. Since then, I've made some improvements to the item's quality.
And no, it's not a song at all, it's my Explosion sound effect.
The latest one that I couldn't get over is something called "Boost Your Testosterone Power," that is the most brilliant title for a spam thread I've ever seen.
It's just so random and out of place on Envato Market!
I remember a friend of mine on some forum elsewhere using a title like that for his introduction thread and when I opened it out of curiosity, the very first thing he said was "Now that I have your attention :)" (along with the rest of the introduction)
A mod came by and said this "I like you already :P"
Stuff like that is happening on Envato, too! I remember seeing joke threads celebrating their sales numbers with titles like "500 Kitchen Sales!"
Spambots, sometimes they make my day just by the titles they use for their forum visits.

SFX is definitely not worth creating especially in the current marketplace, unless used for marketing purposes like some guys above mentioned. Creating FX needs a lot of time, effort, and planning, and as FxProSound said, it rarely pays off..As for the future of SFX..
People will always need classic SFX sounds like footsteps, machinery, cars, etc, however I believe that in the near future those will completely be replaced by physical modelling instead of actual recordings. In games for example, instead of having an algorithm 'triggering' sounds, they'll have an algorithm 'generating' sounds in real time.
The way I see it, if somebody wants to make a living out of creating standard SFX at this point of time, he should focus on providing the client with a unique way of handling, using and shaping the sounds to his own needs, and providing samples one by one isn't the right path to get there
Let's take a closer look at this situation:
Music and Sound Effects both take a lot of time, effort, and planning to create.
There is a market for both Music and Sound Effects.
Generally speaking, people who produce music earn more money than people who produce sound effects. Many sound designers are discouraged because they see the money that many musicians make in comparison to sound designers. Why is that?
Is it because sound design is an unprofitable business? Is it because a good song is more valuable than a good sound effect?
Let's face it,
You're selling them too cheaply!
How can you expect a profit in the sound industry when you sell your finest work for practically nothing? To keep ahead of your competition? Because nobody will want your work because you price it too highly?
People are actually put off when they see excellent products sold at discount prices! Have you ever wanted to buy something from E-bay and the seller prices it so lowly that you think something fishy is going on?
I wouldn't trust anyone who sells a polished mahogany dining table for 99 cents, would you? So why are Sound Effects being sold for that kind of a price?
It's no wonder people are unhappy with the results they're getting from selling sound effects. They don't value their own work highly enough to price it fairly.
Buyers can tell how much a person values their work by the way they price it. You're worth more than that, stop listening to people who tell you to price your work lower than your competition in order to survive in the business world. It's a lousy piece of advice.
I understand this is Audiojungle and that to a large extent, they control the pricing. There's not much we can do about that, except suggest a better pricing system.
But listen to your heart, man! You're not getting paid what you know you're worth, and it's mostly because a large portion of the sound industry is caught up in the impossible game of "How cheaply can I sell this and still make a profit?"
Being competitive in sound design is not and will not be based on how cheaply people can get your finest work in comparison to your competition. If that were true, the top 10 best selling music tracks on Audiojungle would all be $5 items.
I don't know about the rest of you but I take pride in my work, and I'm not about to give up on sound design simply because others have taken a bleak and pessimistic attitude towards it.
Here's something Zig Ziglar once said about sales:
"I've always taught that a poor economy is the best opportunity for salespeople because the naysayers and grumblers have already given up, leaving more territory, more opportunities to be successful than in a good economy when virtually all salespeople are out there, giving it their best."

text: CAPA HISTORY By Delaina Finch One of the benefits of VCPA is being a member of the California Alliance of Paralegal Associations (CAPA). VCPA receives information on the growth and development of the paralegal profession in California through VCPA's CAPA Primary and Secondary Representatives. There are a total of 13 paralegal associations that are members of CAPA. Through the alliance of these associations, we have a statewide networking system for our members. We reciprocate with salary surveys, newsletters, substantive issues, educational conferences, legislative matters and statewide benefits. Through our busy schedules, we tend to forget some of the major events that have been accomplished through CAPA. I thought that this would the perfect time to go back through the history of CAPA and capture some of the highlights of what CAPA learned and accomplished from the past to develop and improve the paralegal profession as it is today. On November 20, 1976, four paralegal associations joined together to establish a statewide paralegal organization. The founders were San Francisco, East Bay (Alameda County), Los Angeles and the California Public Sector. The purpose was to promote: • Communication • Cooperation • Mutual assistance throughout the state while allowing each organization to remain individually autonomous Based upon this purpose, they agreed upon the name of this new statewide organization: California Alliance of Paralegal Associations. Their first major project was to research and develop accreditation and certification programs. From 1977 through 1980, CAPA focused on the organization and adopted bylaws and articles of association. CAPA also approved the applications of San Diego and Sacramento for membership in CAPA. During this time period, the California Public Sector terminated, thus bringing the number of membership to five associations. In 1981 the following projects were developed: • Procedures manual • Outreach program to aid in finding paralegal associations • Monitor statewide issues and research potential grants • Focus on enhancing the visibility of the Alliance through greater publicity efforts • Write and maintain a history of the Alliance Based upon the efforts of the ongoing Outreach Committee, membership has increased to 13 associations, which provides a good representation of the paralegals throughout California. The area covers as far north as Sacramento and as far south as San Diego. In 1982, the Law Office Management Section (now LPMT) of the California State Bar invited a member of CAPA to serve on their advisory board. This was a milestone for the paralegal profession because this was the first Section of the State Bar that opened its doors to recognize and include paralegals. The CAPA liaison actively participates in educational workshops, marketing strategies, and other State Bar events of each section. Currently, four Sections of the California State Bar have graciously welcomed CAPA directors to serve as liaisons: Law Practice Management & Technology Section, Public Law Section, Litigation Section, and Solo & Small Firm Section. In 1983, CAPA established a quarterly newsletter, RECAP, which was limited to one page of deadlines and goals. Today the RECAP covers articles on various areas of substantive law, reports from the CAPA Liaisons on the four Sections of the California State Bar, and reports on the activity of various paralegal associations and other articles relating to the paralegal profession. In 1984, CAPA was incorporated. Effective January 1, 1985, CAPA's fiscal year was established as the calendar year, January 1 through December 31. Meetings were expanded to three meetings a year: February, June and November. In 1986, CAPA participated in the State Bar Convention for the first time, and also presented a computer-related workshop, which was well attended. In 1987, CAPA presented a seminar at the State Bar Convention entitled, "Paralegals + Productivity = Profitability." The seminar was favorably received by more than 45 attorneys. CAPA has been committed to annually participate in the State Bar Convention as an exhibitor and seminar participant to encourage and inform attorneys of paralegal utilization and the awareness of the paralegal profession. In 1988, a facilitator was invited at a meeting to assist CAPA in setting goals for 1988 and in the future. This was another milestone for CAPA, because the goals became realistic by recognizing short term and long term commitments and setting deadlines for accomplished goals. Thus, on June 24, 1988, CAPA had its first proclamation recognizing "Paralegal Day;" a CAPA Administrative Manual was created, which is known as "Big Blue" today; a Task Force on Certification was formed; and in 1989 CAPA had its first annual educational conference, hosted by LAPA. During CAPA weekend meetings, the hosting association has a reception on Friday to socialize and welcome all the association primary and secondary representatives. These social events are also great for brainstorming ideas. Which brings to mind in 1988, the groups' creativity in fundraising ideas. CAPA members decided on a sweatshirt sale and proceeded to come up with paralegal slogans to be printed on the back of the sweatshirts, such as: "Paralegals Support the Bar," "Behind Every Good Paralegal is a Successful Attorney," Paralegals Make $ense," "Born to Bill," "Behind Every Successful Attorney is an Exhausted Paralegal." The following was the winning slogan that was printed on the sweatshirts: Para what? Paramedic Parakeet Paralegal CAPA sold over 177 slogan sweatshirts. In 1992, CAPA published the Handbook on Paralegal Utilization. This is a valuable resource tool that provides a brief history of the paralegal profession; various paralegal job descriptions; flowchart on utilizing litigation professionals; how to locate, hire and retain qualified paralegals; list of California and national cases on recovery of paralegal fees; and other resources on the paralegal profession. The last update was in February, 2002 and can be purchased through CAPA for $15. 1992 marked another milestone for CAPA. The Task Force on Certification presented a statewide certification survey and found that the majority of paralegals favored a specialty exam with the highest requested specialty in litigation. CAPA kept its focus on this theory, and in 1994, CAPA and the National Association of Legal Assistants (NALA) worked together to develop the CAPA specialty exam. In 1995, CAPA appointed the first certification committee, known today, as the Commission for Advanced California Paralegal Specialization, Inc. (CACPS). In December 1996 CACPS offered the first advanced specialty exam in litigation. Currently, there are five California advanced specialty exams: civil litigation, business organizations, real estate, trusts and estates, and family law. In 1997, CAPA launched its website, which is www.caparalegal.org. In November 1997, CAPA held its first Leadership Conference in Palm Springs, hosted by the Inland Counties Association of Paralegals ("ICAP.") CAPA continues with Leadership Conferences every other year. These Leadership Conferences assist the paralegal associations in board leadership, enhancement of newsletters, increasing memberships, following corporate responsibilities, fund raising ideas, etc. In 1997, LPMT and Fresno County sponsored CAPA's paralegal definition at the State Bar Conference of Delegates in Long Beach, which was defeated. The CAPA Legislative Committee began to explore other avenues to obtain a statutory paralegal definition. In 1999, CAPA approved one scholarship per association to attend the annual June Conference. This was a marketing strategy to get more paralegals involved with CAPA and to experience the educational programs and opportunity to network with other paralegals throughout the state. 2000 was another milestone for CAPA. On September 10, 2000, Governor Gray Davis signed Assembly Bill 1761 into law – paralegal definition. After many years of drafting and consensus of CAPA's affiliated association members, the paralegal definition was adopted in the Business & Professions Code Section 6450, et seq. This project required many years of determination and fortitude of CAPA's Legislative Committee. In 2001, CAPA provided a Resource Directory, which was provided to all members of each association. The Resource Directory provides a valuable resource tool of vendors throughout the state. In 2003, CAPA was approved as an MCLE Provider. Thus, all of CAPA's educational conferences are MCLE approved. If paralegal associations are not MCLE providers, the associations can have CAPA co-sponsor the association's general meeting program to offer an MCLE approved program. These are only a few highlights of CAPA's accomplishments. Today, CAPA continues to improve and enhance its many projects in the growth and development of the paralegal profession. CAPA's ongoing and future goals are to continue with excellent educational MCLE approved conferences, leadership conferences, RECAP newsletter, review state and federal legislation, enhance the advanced specialty paralegal certifications, continuous development of the CAPA website, and on-going public relations with the California State Bar, NALA, NFPA, AAFPE and other affiliated organizations.

While working with beaker's code base, I often feel the need to run my tests for a patch/feature and continue to work on with different things while they run, including running other tests testing something different. Currently this is not possible since we start off with a clean database on every test run and simultaneous runs would obviously make one run step on another's feet.
I finally have an initial docker based prototype for making this possible.
Early Access promotion:
No Starch Press is running a promotion tomorrow (29/01/2015 – PST) that will offer 40% off all Early Access titles on nostarch.com, including Doing Math with Python. The discount code is BRIGHTANDEARLY. Currently two chapters are available and more should be up in the coming days!
I am excited to write that my new book "Doing Math with Python" to be published by No Starch Press is now available via their "Early Access" program – which means if you now buy the book, you will get the chapters as and when they are available and also, the chapters may need more polishing.
The book uses Python 3 exclusively and the Appendix A covers setup and installation instructions for Python 3 and the libraries used in the book. However, that is not yet available. Hence, at this stage, the easiest way would be to use a distribution such as Anaconda on Windows, Linux or Mac OSX (untested, I don't have access to the OS).
I received a review copy of the book as part of the blogger review program.
Title: "Linux System Programming (2nd Edition) " by Robert Love; O'Reilly Media.
This book consists of 11 chapters. The first chapter introduces you nicely to the the core topics and lays the foundation for the rest of the book. Files (including some hints on the role of the virtual file system and how they are represented in the Kernel), Input/Output (User buffered I/O, I/O scheduling, Scatter-Gather I/O), Processes (including their creation mechanisms and management), Threads (and how Linux implements them along with a treatment of the POSIX threads library), Memory (Process address space, dynamic memory allocation strategies, and how they work, memory locking) form the core of the book. The second last chapter discusses signal handling. The last chapter of the book is on time (the different types of time, how you can get/set time, measure time elapsed and timers) and is sort of a "standalone" topic for the book. The first appendix discusses the GCC extensions to the C language and can be handy when you read the Kernel source code.
In this book, the author discusses some of the most important topics that one would want to learn about when venturing into the area of "system programming" on Linux. He introduces the topics in a friendly manner adding some fun anecdotes from time to time (what does the "c" in calloc() stand for?).At various places, the reader is given a peek under the hood (for example, pause() is one of the simplest system calls implemented) which can only make the curious reader happy and itchy to download the kernel source code and start grepping. The book includes code examples throughout and hence if you are learning a topic for the first time, these are very useful starting points.
System programming on Linux is an area encompassing number of related topics most of which can fill up whole books on their own. I also could not help comparing this book with "The Linux Programming Interface" by Michael Kerrisk (a book which I own already). Should you buy this book if you already own the latter? Yes, you should. While not being "encyclopedic" and not covering topics such as socket programming at all, Robert Love's "Linux System Programming" has the right level of treatment and detail for the reader interested in system programming.

Fedora Scientific Documentation
I started work on some documentation for Fedora Scientific about a month or so back. It is far from what I want it to be, but you can see the current version here. The first goal that I have in mind is to document all the major scientific tools and libraries that are shipped with Fedora Scientific. By document, I imply links to the official project resources and guides. The second goal is to actually add original content and make it a guide book for Fedora Scientific which may be used as an entry point for Open Source Scientific Computing. Once the guide has taken some shape, an RPM package can be created and distributed with Fedora Scientific so that the entire documentation is available for offline perusal.
The Fedora Scientific documentation is an excellent starting point if you are looking to make a contribution to Fedora Scientific. You can view the project here.
If you have some toy/throwaway scripts that makes use of one of the libraries/tools, you may want to contribute it to the
"tests" here. They will help sanity check these libraries and tools during the development of upcoming Fedora Scientific releases.

I worked through most of the Learn Emacs Lisp in 15 minute tutorial and learned enough to write something useful:
;; Inset import pdb; pdb.set_trace() on C-x, C-p (defun pdb-set-trace () ;; http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/InteractiveFunction (interactive) (insert "import pdb; pdb.set_trace()\n")) (global-set-key [(control ?x) (control ?p)] 'pdb-set-trace)
Once you place this function in your Emacs init file, when you press the keys C-x and C-p, import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
will magically appear in your Python program (well, anywhere for that matter, since there is no check in place). This is something which I know will be very useful to me. If you don't like the key combination, you can change it in the last line of the above function.
If you don't know Emacs lisp, you should try to work through the tutorial. Although, I must say I did make various attempts long time back to learn Common Lisp and Clojure, so it was not so unfamiliar to me.
On Fedora (and perhaps other Linux distros using systemd) you will see that the poweroff
, reboot
and halt
commands are all symlinks to systemctl
> ls -l /sbin/poweroff /sbin/halt /sbin/reboot lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 16 Oct 1 11:04 /sbin/halt -> ../bin/systemctl lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 16 Oct 1 11:04 /sbin/poweroff -> ../bin/systemctl lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 16 Oct 1 11:04 /sbin/reboot -> ../bin/systemctl
So, how does it all work? The answer lies in this code block from systemctl.c:
.. 5556 if (program_invocation_short_name) { 5557 5558 if (strstr(program_invocation_short_name, "halt")) { 5559 arg_action = ACTION_HALT; 5560 return halt_parse_argv(argc, argv); 5561 } else if (strstr(program_invocation_short_name, "poweroff")) { 5562 arg_action = ACTION_POWEROFF; 5563 return halt_parse_argv(argc, argv); 5564 } else if (strstr(program_invocation_short_name, "reboot")) { 5565 if (kexec_loaded()) ..
is a variable (GNU extension) which contains the name used to invoke a program. The short indicates that if you call your program as /bin/myprogram
, it is set to 'myprogram'. There is also a program_invocation_name
variable consisting of the entire path. Here is a demo:
/*myprogram.c*/ # include <stdio.h> extern char *program_invocation_short_name; extern char *program_invocation_name; int main(int argc, char **argv) { printf("%s \n", program_invocation_short_name); printf("%s \n", program_invocation_name); return 0; }
Assume that the executable for the above program is created as myprogram
, execute the program from a directory which is one level up from where it resides. For example, in my case, myprogram
is in $HOME/work
and I am executing it from $HOME
> ./work/myprogram myprogram ./work/myprogram
You can see the difference between the values of the two variables. Note that any command line arguments passed are not included in any of the variables.
Back to systemctl
Okay, so now we know that when we execute the poweroff
command (for example), program_invocation_short_name
is set to poweroff
and this check matches:
if (strstr(program_invocation_short_name, "poweroff")) ..
and then the actual action of powering down the system takes place. Also note that how the halt_parse_argv
function is called with the parameters argc and argv so that when you invoke the poweroff
command with a switch such as --help
, it is passed appropriately to halt_parse_argv
5194 static const struct option options[] = { 5195 { "help", no_argument, NULL, ARG_HELP }, .. .. 5218 case ARG_HELP: 5219 return halt_help();
Fooling around
Considering that systemctl
uses strstr
to match the command it was invoked as, it allows for some fooling around. Create a symlink mypoweroff
to /bin/systemctl
and then execute it as follows:
> ln -s /bin/systemctl mypoweroff > ./mypoweroff --help mypoweroff [OPTIONS...] Power off the system. --help Show this help --halt Halt the machine -p --poweroff Switch off the machine --reboot Reboot the machine -f --force Force immediate halt/power-off/reboot -w --wtmp-only Don't halt/power-off/reboot, just write wtmp record -d --no-wtmp Don't write wtmp record --no-wall Don't send wall message before halt/power-off/reboot
This symlink is for all purpose going to act like the poweroff
command since systemctl basically checks whether 'poweroff' is a substring of the invoked command.
To learn more, see systemctl.c
Few months back, I had demoed invoking a similar behaviour in programs where a program behaves differently based on how you invoke it using argv[0] here. I didn't know of the GNU extensions back then.

I'm not sure of how to explain this, but when I tried high gov. I ended up with a throttle setting of less than 10 on my hitec radio and still the head speed hadn't come down to 2400. This was not true with ver 1.11 software. When I changed over to low gov I was able to get 2300 rpm at a setting of 94 on the radio. John |

Regarding the gov mode and speed, this is dependent on the number of poles in the motor - I have seen a document from Castle on this, but can't find it specifically. Basically, the gov modes give a speed which is a constand (defined by Castle) divided by the number of poles in the motor. As such, a motor with a low pole count will run faster than one with a high pole count for a given throttle channel input value in gov mode. That is the reason for high and low modes - to accomodate different motor types and pole counts. Regarding getting maximum power out of your motor, if the red LED is on, the controller is balls out maxed, there is no more to be had with that combination. If you are not getting what you think you should regarding headspeed then maybe: 1) Your battery is too small for that motor/combo, and voltage is sagging. 2) Pitch is being read wrong - you are carrying more than you think. 3) Wrong pinion causing motor to bog. 4) Unrealistic expectations for that setup . . . . - Tim |

My thoughts on CC gov, mode setup for helis.
To summarize my previous posts, here is what I think is a pretty good procedure to setup a gov on a CC controller.
First, I will assume that the target is a given head speed, and not a pitch range, let's say 2200 RPM. 1) Set a straight line throttle curve: 0 - 50 - 100, and a zero pitch pitch curve: 50 - 50 - 50 for testing. 2) Select low gov mode and spool up with the pitch set to 0. See what speed range you get. If you can't get to 2200, shutdown, switch to high gov. and retry. One range or the other should work. If you can't get low to go quite high enough, check your ATVs - Castle expanded the range in later builds, and you can go up to about 120% on the throttle ATVs and be effective. Conversely, if the controller won't arm, increase the low ATV until it will. For me, this was about 115% on a JR radio. 3) Based on which mode worked for you to get 2200, and the value you needed, set your throttle curve accordingly. Let's say that was 65% in hi gov as an example, and thus set your throttle curve to something like: 0 65 65 - 65 for normal mode, and 65 - 65 - 65 for idle ups. 4) Set your pitch curve to what you think you will be flying in idleup - ideally a straight line 0 - 50 - 100. 5) Spool up and verify head speed is 2200 at center stick (low pitch). 6) Go to full stick and see where the red LED comes on. While at full stick, adjust either the throttle curve or pitch channel ATV so that the red LED just comes on at full stick. This ensures that you are giving the maximum power output from the motor, at the maximum possible pitch on your helicopter. Ideally, in flight, the head will unload a bit and give you a bit more headroom, but then again, we have not considered cyclic loading here either, so I vote leave it as is, and one will compensate for the other. 7) Repeat step 6 for bottom stick. This will give you the maximim amount of negative pitch for that headspeed on your helicopter. 8) Verify that as you go from low to high stick that your headspeed does not sag. If it does, then recheck steps 6 and 7 . . . . 9) From this, you now know your absolute maximim and minimum pitches for that headspeed. Apply them accordingly in normal flight mode as desired. 10) You should be good to go . . . . ===================================== As an alternate, if a pilot chooses to have a certain pitch range and take whatever head speed that gives, you can proceed similarly as above, but in steps 6 and 7, tweak the throttle channel to just get the red LED to determine what throttle setting to use. Headspeed will them be the maximum possible for that pitch range. The key thing to remember here is that in gov. mode, the throttle channel does NOT have any direct relationship to the power output of the ESC! It is just requesting that the ESC regulate itself to a given motor speed. The ESC can use whatever power output it deems necessary to get to that speed, but cannot create power where none is to be had! That is why the red LED indication is there on the controller - it is effectively the "Game Over" indicator which tells you that the controller is ceasing to regulate speed because it is trying to output more power than it is capable of, and as such, headspeed will begin to decrease as soon as this indicator is lit! I hope this helps. - Tim |

I think it's your battery... I ran a 2025-3200 with a 10t pinion and could maintain a 2400 head speed. I used an Apogee 1570mah pack. Check out this post on how to setup the governor mode properly. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showp...&postcount=100 |

Evil Dead- 2013 remake
Well this came out this weekend in the UK, and I see its been out in the US since April 5. Yet I couldn't find a thread for this anywhere. So seen as I saw it today I may as well make this.
Anyone else seen it, thoughts?
I'd probably give it a 6/10, some decent scares and if you like your blood and gore you should find plenty to enjoy here. A decent Friday/Saturday night popcorn movie I guess, but it wasn't really memorable, in a few weeks I'll probably have forgotten most about it.
Also sorry, I really did try, but for a lot of it I just couldn't help thinking this was going on behind the scenes-

How to spot a Counterfeit or Fake Cuban Cigars RED FLAG CHECKLIST Here is a list of all Cuban cigar websites so far exposed or detected that are operating online. They are actually SELLING FAKE Cuban cigars and here are my reasons why: * Cheap prices compared to legitimate dealers online and they always have added discounts. WHY? ALL FAKES and no doubt the same persons or companies operating these websites. Box Appearance (Click on images to enlarge) New Habanos SA authenticity warranty seal verification for 2009 onwards: http://www.habanos.com/Sellos/Info/VerificaSelloCajon IMPORTANT NOTICE NEW CUBAN WARRANTY SEAL.
As a way to keep all Habanos lovers as well as our Exclusive Distributors updated all over the world, it's necessary to notify the changes to be occurred as regards as to the Cuban Warranty Seal. From now on, a new Warranty Seal will be gradually introduced in all the packaging where two new elements are to be added. On the right hand, a hologram as a security item will be added and on the left hand, next to the Cote d´ Arms, a bar code will personalize every package. This label will always be placed from the upper left side of the box or display, leaving 3 to 6 mm from the edge and to be bending up to the front right over the center of the Cote d´Arms whenever possible. This Seal has been developed through a base of synthetic paper with special characteristics such as an auto-destructive feature before any attempts of removal and with several maximum security techniques added. • Non-transferred label. Any attempt to remove it, will cause invalidation of the seal by self destruction. On the other hand, a unique bar code will be applied on every single box thus customizing every packaging. This information will be saved in a data base allowing the identification of this product everywhere, whom this product was addressed to as well as the Invoice number, amongst other details. The fact is that there will always be a time in which both old and new Warranty Seals designs will exist at the same time in the markets. The length of time in which the two seals will coexist is not so easy to foresee because it depends on the stocks and on the rotation of the different products. As a reference please find attached here a file of the aforementioned seal and the proper way of affixing it on the boxes, in jpg format. BE AWARE OF CUBAN CIGAR WEBSITES THAT ALWAYS HAVE LIMITADO EDICIONS FROM 2000 ONWARDS AT HARD TO BELIEVE PRICES!!! |

This document reviews the Department of Veterans Affairs' oversight of laundry services at its Medical Center in Albany, New York. GAO found inadequate management and oversight of the contract for operating the laundry facility. There was no separation of duties between the quality assurance evaluator and the contracting officer's technical representative. This individual allowed the contractor to deviate from the contract's terms. As a result, it appears that the contractor was overpaid for the services provided.
