Tweet from the Command Line with Twidge
Productivity Sauce
When it comes to graphical Twitter clients, you are spoiled for choice. But what if you want to use the popular micro-blogging service from the command line? Then you need Twidge, a command-line utility that supports both Twitter and Identi.ca.
Before you can use Twidge, you have to configure it using the twidge setup command. Enter your Twitter user name and password, and you are all set. Using Twidge couldn't be easier. To view the 20 most recent updates from the people you follow, use the twidge lsrecent -su command. The twidge update command allows you to post a tweet, for example:
twidge update "Status goes here."
If you want to send a direct message to a specific user, you can do so by using the twidge dmsend command as follows (replace username with the actual Twitter user):
twidge dmsend username "Message goes here."
Following or unfollowing a Twitter user using twidge is equally simple:
twidge follow username twidge unfollow username
By default, Twidge works with Twitter, but you can easily reconfigure it for use with Identi.ca. Open the .twidgerc configuration file stored in your home directory in a text editor and change the default urlbase URL to http://identi.ca/api, so it looks like this:
urlbase: http://identi.ca/api
These commands are enough to get you started with Twidge, but it also has a few clever tricks up its sleeve. Make sure to check the How-to page in the Twidge wiki to learn a trick or two.comments powered by Disqus

I tried a lot of things: sync with another Zimbra demo server on the web: same problem. Syncing a LG phone on GB: works. Syncing my old HD2 (now on CyanogenMod 9, so also ICS): works syncs partly.
Since both Android 4 phones have issues, my guess is that it is related to ICS.
Can anybody confirm this issue?

United States Considers Action In Syria
Story By: Larry Stine
|buy mifepristone misoprostol online redirect &Body=Thought you would like to seet this from WMFD.com http://www.wmfd.com/newsboard/single.asp?story=61091" target="_blank">Email Story to Friend
Originally Published on: 8/27/2014
Even as militants in Syria release and American citizen, the unrest in the region continues to be a concern for the U.S. government. President Barack Obama has authorized reconnaissance flights over Syria, as officials consider expanding action against ISIS militants. The release of a captured American journalist came as a welcome surprise for his mother. She told "ABC World News Tonight" she asked intermediaries a "proof-of-life" question: What did her son write about in his doctoral dissertation? "And, it came back, 'The Western Museum,' and I thought, yes!' That's right, and nobody would know that," said Nancy Curtis, mother of freed journalist Peter Theo Curtis. When Peter Theo Curtis disappeared in late 2012, he was working as a freelance journalist amid the unrest in Syria. The Obama Administration stood strongly opposed to the regime of Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad, asking Congress last year to approve airstrikes against his forces. "We would have preferred Assad go two years ago, a year ago, six months ago, two months ago," says President Obama. Now, Assad's regime says it is ready to accept support from the United States, as ISIS fighters take control of a Syrian air base. So far, President Barack Obama has only authorized reconnaissance flights over Syria, but U.S. officials are considering acting against ISIS targets in Syria, despite the regime's warnings against such strikes without permission. "There's no plans to have in-depth discussions with the Assad regime what we may or may not do inside Syria," says Rear Admiral John Kirby of the Pentagon Press. Analysts warn attacking ISIS targets in Syria could have unintended consequences, potentially strengthening the position of Assad's regime.

Questions To Ask Before Your Pet's Surgery
Dr. Phil Zeltzman is a mobile, board-certified surgeon in Allentown, PA. Find him online at www.DrPhilZeltzman.com. He is the co-author of "Walk a Hound, Lose a Pound" (www.WalkaHound.com).
Chris Longenecker, a Certified Veterinary Technician in Reading, PA, contributed to this article.
It is always surprising to me that some clients are not sure of their pet's diagnosis, or what risks are involved. This is critical, and you should make sure you understand your pet's condition so you can be better informed and prepared. Here are 5 questions to guide your discussion with your family vet or surgeon.
1. What is my pet's specific diagnosis?
Always ask your family vet or your surgeon for the exact name and spelling of the diagnosis. It is not always easy to understand or remember, so get it in writing. Seriously, who can remember (and spell) "Legg-Perthes disease" (a condition of the hip) or "hepatic microvascular dysplasia" (a liver condition)? If a biopsy has been performed, ask for a copy of the pathologist's report.
Now, in some cases, we have to be humble and acknowledge that we are simply not sure about the diagnosis. That's OK as long as you understand the possibilities - good or bad. When thereareseveral possibilities, ask your vet to write them down (legibly).
2. What are the treatment options?
It is important that you understand all of your options when it comes to your pet's treatment. Vets, whether generalists or specialists, will tend to recommend the best solution in their mind. Most of the time, that's what you should consider doing.
However, there may be a plan B or C or D. What are those options? Why aren't they as good?
Some treatments are called "medical" or "conservative." In the case of a fractured bone, this would mean placing a splint or cast. The opposite is called "surgical" treatment. With a fracture, this could mean repairing the broken bone with a metal plate and some screws. Most of the time, there are fairly clear reasons to choose one versus the other, and you need to understand them.
Another example is a dog with hip dysplasia and arthritis. There are many ways to treat this common condition, medically or surgically. Your vet's or your surgeon's job is to discuss each option with you, along with the pros and the cons, so you can make an informed decision.

Roster Reload: Charlotte Bobcats
The franchise made progress this season, but to what end?
Roster Reloads: Chicago Bulls
The final season of the Charlotte Bobcats was perhaps their best ever, though stating that might well be damning with faint praise. The Bobcats won 43 games, one short of the franchise record, and made the playoffs for the second time.
With first-year coach Steve Clifford orchestrating the league's fifth-best defense, Charlotte landed the East's 7-seed despite being outscored on the season. With the roster populated by a mix of veterans and up-and-comers, this final edition of the Bobcats appears to be on more firm footing than its playoff predecessor.
Now, the Charlotte Hornets are reborn, and the question is, Where does the organization go from here? Recent lottery picks Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Cody Zeller and Bismack Biyombo stand as contributors but aren't yet foundation pieces. How can Clifford, Michael Jordan and GM Rich Cho hunt down Charlotte's first playoff series win, moving to the next level? Let's take a look using four categories featuring both scouting and advanced-metrics perspectives, as well as an early guess at what the Bobcats' 2014-15 roster could look like.

College News
Generational Stories Come Through Service-Learning
Sociology major Justin Moore was looking for a service-learning course, and found one that filled a passion of his — learning how we as a society can help the aging baby boomer population. So, he enrolled in the Sociology of Aging and the Life Course service-learning class, and said it has been an amazing experience so far.
The class, taught by Dr. Marta Rodriguez-Galan, Assistant Professor of Sociology, created the "Elder Experience Project" with St. John's Meadows, a senior living community in Rochester. Each week, the students and elders gather for large and small group discussions which lead to reflection and writing about personal experiences. The classes give both the elders and students an opportunity to interact and share stories, and develop intergenerational relationships. Some weeks, the elders come to campus, while other weeks, the students go to St. John's. Rodriguez-Galan said that alternating the meeting locations helps both populations experience each other's world.
"They discuss aging-related issues in a friendly setting, where the students can ask their own questions and the elders contribute their wealth of experiences and perspectives. This helps foster friendships across generations, which is the best way to debunk myths and stereotypes, not only about the older generation, but the younger generation as well," said Rodriguez-Galan.
Moore said that during a typical class, the groups discuss issues like diversity, women, work, and healthcare, to name a few. Student teams of two have been assigned to each elder, so they have really had the chance to get to know the elders on a very personal level. At the end of the semester, students will take stories they have heard and create a written document that will be given to the elder and his or her family. It's a keepsake, of sorts, and Moore said his favorite part has been hearing the elders' opinions, life stories, experiences, and feelings.
"Getting to hear the stories of someone else's life that took place before our time is something all youth should participate in. It is great to see how accepting and diverse older people are, to break the stereotypes," he added.
Deb Hammond, Director of Recreation at St. John's, said the elders have been really pleased with the class and have enjoyed attending.
"They love the kids and are engaged with the conversations regarding their life experiences. The intergenerational interaction and formation of relationships make this relevant and fun for them," she said.

Planting Help Needed
Sometimes I do things that seem to make sense, but are actually bad for a plant, like tomatoes in large black plastic containers up against a nice sun reflected block wall. I've made all kinds of mistakes that now I feel I have to ask before I make another, so please forgive me.
I have a couple of yellow Tropical Hibiscus, not hardy, that are doing okay. As long as I snip off the old flowers I get new ones about every two days, but one looks a bit scrawny as far as leaves, plenty of branches, just low on leaves. I've used Foliage Pro to no avail. What else could I try?
I'm also about to plant another, this time red and want it to do as good as my other yellow. First off the soil here is basically sandy garbage in my book. It always has to be amended to make anything grow and then it's still always a fight to keep it growing. The spot I've chosen for this hibiscus is next to a wall that gets sun just after mid-day. I thought if this fills out it would help cover the wall as well as add color at this bland part of my back yard. I've had the plant, still in it's black pot, in the spot for about a month and it seems to like it there as it's stayed dark green with nice big red flowers on it. When transferred to the ground should I expect the same? Mid-Summer SoCal heat? How should I amend the soil, if you can call it that, for best success? Any other advice?
Rather than list everything that I own as far as food, fertilizers, etc., I've included an image of my supplies list that I keep on hand.
Lastly, I have a product called Ultrasol k Plus, it's NPK is 13.7 - 0- 46.3. Since Hibiscus have such a great need for potassium, would this be okay to use?
Thanks for any help
Since the hibiscus is tropical that you are planting, and you don't live in a tropical climate, why don't you just buy bigger pots for them (they don't have to be expensive, plastic will do), and dig a hole, and place the bottom of the pot in the ground where you say it is happy?
You can place some composted manure in the hole if you want, that way when the roots grow out the bottom of the pot by the end of the summer, you can just cut them off with sissors and store the plant in the house or greenhouse for the winter.
If you don't want to save it anyway, and you want to leave it outside over the winter, still use a pot. easier to discard of it after it dies anyway.
Use a pot, you can control the soil better knowing it is receiving optimal growing conditions.
You have to water it more, and use Foliage Pro diluted big time every time you water. That way you will be replenishing the nutrients to the plant every time you water, because you will be flusing alot out watering it so much.
Bad soil, is alot of amending, alot of work, and your results are not immediate.
That is why people use pots and raised beds in areas with bad soil. The plants love great soil.

1Wake Me Up When September Ends - Green Day
Just awesome! One of the best by green day.. Love the guitar, love the drums!
Yes! Wake me up is the best song
Deserves the first spot...
[Newest]First of all, this song sucks. Patience is way better. Second, half of the song isn't even acoustic, and the other half barely has it!
2Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
1 of the best songs by pink Floyd.. which makes it 1 of the best songs in the world :}
We have Togo deeper than Green Day on first place... maybe some Oasis? (How I wish.. How I wish you were here... We are just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl... Year after year... ahh... that voice...
Best ever! Gilmour all the way
[Newest]As great as Green Day are, this song pisses all over it. This is possibly one of the greatest songs ever written.
3Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) - Green Day
Short, but yet so meaningful. Describes life in a way that is both satirical yet hopeful. It really brings forth a lot of heartfelt emotion in the way he sings it. GO Green Day!
This band have changed my life so much, this song is one of my favourite songs by them and it was also the first song I learnt on guitar, I love you Green Day.
This is the best acoustic song I have ever heard. Its also the first I learnt on guitar. This is a classic it should be 1
[Newest]Love all of Green Day's songs. It was between this and Wake me up when September ends for me, but I chose this as it was second place.
4Hotel California - The Eagles
This definitely should be first. It revolutionized acoustic music. It shows that acoustic can be as powerful as hard rock.
5Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Great song but where is the bleeding (unplugged) :(
Come on this song is one of the greatest songs, It desrves to be first by a large margin.
6Soldier of Fortune - Deep Purple
7Every Rose Has Its Thorn - Poison
8Wanted Dead or Alive - Bon Jovi
Wanted Dead or Alive is a good song by Bon Jovi from their 1986 studio album, Slippery When Wet, beside Livin' On A Prayer and You Give Love A Bad Name. I Love Richie's solo guitar and also Jon's voice (especially when he was screaming "Alright")...
9The Bard's Song (In the Forest) - Blind Guardian
10Patience - Guns N' Roses
Well this song got the best intro, the best solo, the best outro, the best voice, the best guitarist and the best lyric
This song deserves to at least be in the top ten
Electric version in Tokyo 1992 and the 1989 AMA versions are even better.

Those 4 chords cannot create an emotional song as this has

Layla deserves the number one spot! No doubt about it! The passionate flow of the acoustic music is seriously one of the best I have ever heard! Vote for #1

This would have had a lot better chance of happening if the Spurs made a free throw, collected a rebound or Jesus misses that 3 in Game 6 of the NBA Finals. Word on the Game is reporting via Alex Kennedy of Hoops World, that the Lakers will make a strong push for LeBron in 2014 when he opts out of the last year of his contract and becomes a free agent again. It will be an uphill battle, unless something really unusual happens with the Heat. Even though D Wade is declining, the Heat will be the favorites to win the NBA title, if they three peat, no way LeBron is leaving. I hope the Lakers have a plan B, C, D and E because banking on LeBron will be a long shot at best. What's next for the L.A. Lakers? They'll try to make a run in the 2013-14 season and then make a run at LeBron James, according to sources. — Alex Kennedy (@AlexKennedyNBA) July 6, 2013

Historical Traveler Reviews Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Orlando
Loved The Swan
My son and I stayed at The Swan Hotel from June 23-June 27th and had the greatest vacation stay we have evr had. I had read tons of reviews beforehand and found this hotel to be more beautiful and luxurious then any of the tourguides or travel sites had shown. The Swan Hotel is a gorgeous site on the Disney Premises. We took the Friendship Boat on the Gateway to Epcot, MGM, and the Boardwalk. The boat ride was lovely, and at night the lights added a most magical touch to being at Disney. The Hotel beds was unbelievable with the plushest down pillows you would ever lay your head on. After a long day of plodding though Magic Kinddom heat and lines it was heavenly to come to our restful peaceful room at The Swan. We had a balcony overlooking the Gateway and had room service a couple of times that we ate on the balcony. Heavenly!! The pools at The Swan were gorgeous, on exquisitely manicured grounds. I could go on and on. I can't wait to go back. It was the best Hotel ever. The staff were incredibly accomadating and when I had a problem with the in room safe they sent someone up immediately to fix it and followed up with a call to make sure it was fixed and offered me a $25.00 discount or free meal for my inconvenience. They were great there and I can't praise them enough for a wonderful week.
Beautiful Hotel But....
My husband and myself just returned from a stay at the "Swan Hotel:, we found it to be a beautiful hotel, very clean, great restaurants, and service. However, we found the energy saving air conditioning sytem leaves alot to be desired. The room would notl down enough at night, and we found it miserable! It works on motion detection, so that when you are out, it goes up tp 72 degrees, according to the read out, however it feels like 82 at night when you are sleeping! We will not return to the the "Swan",because of this. Also, we were surprised to find out this hotel is not owned by Disney, just on Disney grounds, so therefore you cannot use the room card to purchase items in any of the parks as you can when staying in Disney Resorts. S, it's back to Disney Resorts for us!
Absolutely beautiful resort!
We just returned from a short stay at the Swan, and it was so wonderful, I wish we had stayed longer. The rooms were immaculate, beautifully decorated, and fairly large. I do believe the next time we stay we will stay at the Dolphin, because the Dolphin seemed to be more geared towards families--dining options, the laundromat was there, etc.
The Swan had the more upscale eateries. The pool was a resort in itself. Chek into the discounts the Swan and Dolphin offer for teachers--they're incredible.
Excellent location!
I stayed there in Feb/03 and got a great Internet rate of $129/night.
For that price, the stay was unbelievable! The room was standard but there were no problems with a/c.
The BEST thing was the location. You are extremely close to Epcot and MGM. At night, there is no waiting in line for a bus since the group of resorts around that area are quite exclusive.
The hotel is owned by Disney but managed by Starwood. I can take a break from WDW since I'm not bombarded with Disney while in the room.
Overall, I was extremely pleased with the value.
Very nice hotel, great location
We stayed at the Swan recently and were overall very pleased. It is clean and well-kept, has plenty of nice restaurants, an outstanding pool that it shares with the Dolphin, and free buses to Magic Kingdom and other area attractions. We got a room on the fourth floor facing the Boardwalk, so we were able to see the fireworks at Epcot every night. Obviously the higher the floor the better, but 4th is the minimum because the trees go up to the top of the third floor, blocking any view. The location is outstanding because you can walk (or take a free, short boat ride) to MGM or Epcot, and at night a short walk to the lively Boardwalk, which is a hopping place of fun, shopping, and eating (skip the Big River Grill, though).We had a great time at the pool with our toddler, and loved the breakfast at the buffet in the Dolphin. The rates are a little high, but not as high as some of the upscale new resorts, and this is a place with everything you need.
Great, but HOT!
We loved our stay at the Swan in late February. We had one of the newly renovated rooms with the heavenly beds--they were that indeed! Service was great, the hotel was beautiful, restaurants were fine. However, we had one major problem that marred our stay. They have an energy-saving program that turns off the a.c. after you leave the room or if you open the balcony door. We had a room facing the setting sun; it got very hot in the room during the day (86?!) while we were out, and it never cooled off completely. The bathroom was hot and stuffy our entire stay which made doing hair and makeup a major problem. The bedroom did cool off eventually, but the a.c. vents were facing the bed which made that part of the room very drafty. We talked to the front desk about this on 3 separate occasions to no avail. I cannot even imagine how bad it would be in the summer. I would go there again but I would insist on an eastern facing room.
Fantastic Experience!
Stayed at the WDW Swan Hotel in May 2003. Wonderful hotel! Rooms beautiful and clean; staff courteous and attentive. Hotel decor at both the Swan and Dolphin was impressive; the landscaped grounds absolutely beautiful. Food prices a bit steep but typical of WDW. Location fabulous; convenient transportation, especially the boat to epcot/MGM. Walk to the Boardwalk. Stayed with family, including a sr. citizen so got a fabulous AARP rate of $145/night. If I had known about their special nurses/teachers rate would have made reservations earlier for a $129/night rate! Would without hesitation recommend this hotel to anyone! Will DEFINITELY stay there again if I return to WDW!
Great vacation at WDW Dolphin
Just back from a great fortnight at this lovely hotel -the exterior is breathtaking. The rooms were a good size and comfortable - although a bit bland for my taste. Lots of guests attending conventions so I kept away from the lobby and reception areas which reminded me of life in the office. The spacious pool and beach areas were great for relaxing, but avoid the lap pool near the Cabana Bar if you want to escape everyday life: there were way too many people shouting into their cell phones.
Shula's restaurant was ok (a bit over the top for a chain type eatery), but I preferred Palio's at the Swan which served great food. Finally, the hotel was ideally located close to the Boardwalk, Epcot and MGN - a short ferry ride if you don't fancy the 15-20 minute walk.
Ish bin
great i will go here again defenatly
A dream
We were treated like royality for one week. This was our second year at this wonderful hotel. We are going back this year. We totally enjoyed the wonderful experience.

Seeds from Catros-Gerand
pbunchAugust 23, 2008
I found some mixed "Cactus Flowered" seeds here in Medellin. They are packaged by Catros-Gerand (a French Seed Company).
Has anyone grown these and what results have you had?
Phil Bunch
Mededllin/Piedras Blancas, Colombia
sturgeonguy(5a ON)
The company's trade name is "LES DOIGTS VERTS", so you may have more success looking for information on that name (I found far more hits in google for LES DOIGTS VERTS than Catros-Gerand.)
The one Dahlia I found on their site was "Dahlia Cactus White Star." They didn't give any details, but it looked like a perfectly normal cactus-style Dahlia.
Sorry, but I don't have any experience with seeds.

For the last three years a ban on squatting has been in preparation in Dutch politics. A new act that is to ban squatting in the Netherlands passed through parliament on October 15th. Despite strong critique from the High Court, the union of city councils and even the Amsterdam police force, the christian/rightwing majority in The Hague is pushing this law through. Currently the senate still has to vote on the new act, but given the same majority of parties that voted in favor in parliament also exists in the senate, odds are by January 1st 2010 all squats in the Netherlands will be up for eviction.
