UNITED STATES THERESA I. L. BUTTs, or ALBUQUERQUE, nnw mnxrco.
THREAD CUTTING AND HOLDING ATTACHMENT ron SPOOLS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed August 17, 1912. Serial No. 715,627.
Patented Nov. 12, 1912.
- To all whom it may on ncem:
Be it known that I, THERESA ISABEL L. BUTTs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Albuquerque, in the county of Bernalillo and State of New Mexico, have invented certain'new and useful Improvements in Thread Cutting and Holding Attachments for Spools, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to improvements in thread cutting and holding attachments for spools and has for its primary object to pro vide a simple device for this purpose which may be cheaply manufactured and is of great convenience and serviceability in practical serviceable in actual use.
WVith the above and other objects in view as will become apparent as the description proceeds, the invention consists in certain constructions, combinations and arrangements of the parts that I shall hereinafter fully describe and claim.
For a full understanding of the invention, reference is to be had to the following 'description and accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a spool showing my improved attachment applied thereto, and the thread held upon the end of the spool; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section through the spool; and'Fig. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the attachment removed .from the spool.
Referring in detail to the drawing 5 designates'the ordinary wooden spool upon which the thread is wound. This spool is provided with the usual central longitudinal opening or bore 6.
My improved attachment which is designed for application to the spool is constructed fi'om a single length of flat spring metal indicated generally by the numeral 7 bent upon itself lntermediate of its ends, as shown at 8 to provide normally divergently disposed arms 9 and 10, respectively, the
arm 10 being somewhat greater in length than the arm 9. The end of the shorter arm 9 of the metal strip is bent inwardly toward the longer arm 10 as indicated at 11. The outer end portion of the longer arm-10 is also bent at right angles to the main portion thereof but in an opposite direction to the end 11 of the arm 9 as shown at 12. This laterally extending end 12 of the longer arm normally extends to a slight distance beyond the end of the arm 9 and the extremity thereof is reversely bent as shown at 13 to provide closely engaged portions between which the thread is adapted to be disposed as will be more clearly described in the following description of the use of the attachment. The extreme end of the portion 12 of the arm 10 is again extended outwardly and is upwardly bent from. the reverse bond 13 thereof as shown at 14. This upwardly extend ing extremity is provided with a notch 15 the edges of which are sharpened.
In the use of my improved attachment, the diverging arms 9 and 10 thereof are inserted into the opening 6 of the spool 5 and forced into said opening until the bent end 11 of the arm 9 is disposed inwardly of the end face of the spool. In this inward movement of the resilient arms 9 and 10 of the device into the opening 6 in the spool, the
angular end 11 of the arm 9 is gradually forced laterally into engagement with the arm 10 so that when the device is disposed in its proper position in the spool, the hearing engagement of said angular end of the arm 9 against the arm 10 will force the latter arm 1nto close frictional contact with the wall of the opening 6. It will thus be apparent that the device is retained in its pro er position in the spool opening against liability of its accidental longitudinal movement. The laterally extending end portion 12 of the arm 10 projects outwardly from the opening 6 over'the end face of the spool so that the reverse bend 13 in the portion 12 is located contiguous to the edge of the L spool. After a desired length of thread has been unwound from the spool, the thread is assed over the end of 'the spool and moved into the lapped or reversely bent portion 13 of the holder where it is held against furconstruction'and-manner ofus'e of my 1m- -groved spool attachment w1ll be clearly unessential features or sacri vsame against the shar ened edges thereof.
In this manner the t read may be very easil and quickly out after the desired ortion as been removed from the spool. he end of the thread remaining thereon is securely held soithat the thread will not become unwound. i
From the foregoing it is believed that the erstood.
The device may be easily and quickly attached to or removed from the spool, and provides convenient means, WhlCll is always at hand, whereby the thread may be easily and quickly severed and held upon the spool to prevent unwinding of the same.
Owing to the fact that the ent1re devlce is formed from a single length of metal whlch may be stam ed out by means of a die and readily bent into the desired form, it will be apparent that the invention can be manufactured in large quantities at very small cost.
The attachment is referably constructed bf spring metal, but 1t will be obvious that other material which is capable of accomplishing the desired results may be employed. The invention is, of course, also susceptible-of other modifications in form and proportion without departing from the cing any of the advantages thereof.
Having thus described the invention what is-claimed is:
1. A thread cutting and holding attachment for spools comprlsin a single stri of spring metal bent interme iate of itsen s to provide divergently disposed arms which differ in length, thesaid arms being adapted for insertion into the opening of a spool, the
vlded with a V-shaped notch having sharpened edges, substantially as and for the purpose s ecified.
2. thread holding and cutting attachment for spools comprising a single strip of spring metal bent upon itselfintermediate of its ends to provide divergent resilient arms, one of said arms being longer than the other and provided at its end with a laterally disposed portion, lateral portion of' the arm being reversely bent to provide a clamp for holdlng the end of the thread, the extremity of said arm being extended outwardly from the reverse bend therein and provided with a V-shaped notch having sharpened edges, said laterally disposed portion of the arm being adapted for close engagement with the end face of the spool and extending from the opening therein to the outer edge of the spool, said shorter resilient arm extending entirely within-the opening of the spool and having its extremity angularly bent and adapted for hearing engagement against the longer arm to force-the latter arm into close frictional contact with the wall of the spool opening when the attachment is in posltion therein.
In testimony whereof I hereunto aifix my signature in the resence of two witnesses. T RESA I. L. BUTTS. Witnesses:

On February 3, 1913 — just a few days shy of 100 years ago — the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, enabling Congress to impose a graduated income tax on Americans. Since that date, federal revenues have soared — but spending has soared even higher.
If the government were to pass an unconstitutional law purporting to ban firearms, two thirds of Americans with guns in their household say they would defy the lawless legislation and refuse to comply, according to a recent poll conducted by Fox News. Even the majority of Democrat and liberal gun owners would refuse to surrender their weapons, the survey revealed. Most Americans also believe that more guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens — not gun bans — would help reduce crime.
President Obama has issued an order to close the small office he created with the responsibility of closing Guantanamo Bay prison. He repeatedly promised during the 2008 presidential campaign and immediately after assuming office to close the Cuban prison, which houses many of the detainees picked up after the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001; however, the closure never happened.
Obama Violated Constitution With Recess Appointments, Appeals Court RulesWritten by Joe Wolverton, II, J.D.
On Friday, a federal appeals court ruled that President Obama's 2012 recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) were unconstitutional.
"Progressives" call gun rights advocates "delusional" for fearing that "gun registration will lead to gun confiscation," but experience, current legislation, and the admissions of anti-gun activists show those fears are well founded.

Queerty is better as a member
Frankly the position is looked at with polite discourse in 2012. He has little actual power, it is mostly ceremonial and with government moving towards equality he and his 1 million followers in the UK wield no real influence.
They were always going to move right with a conservative archbishop after Rowan Williams, I'm glad they didn't pick the ultra conservative archbishop of York in John Sentamu who would be far worse for the UK.
In private Sentamu has supported the death squads in his home country of Uganda.
As a gay atheist living in the UK in a northern city I am a lot happier with Welby, their influence is dying but without Sentamu I think we shall avoid many death throes.
Ugh! Religion is stupid.
He doesn't "dance around" gay marriage. He has categorically voiced his opposition to it.

AIRASIA will launch a new daily flight between Bangkok and Colombo, Sri Lanka, from March 1.
Thai AirAsia CEO Tassapon Bijleveld said the new service was part of the airline's ongoing expansion plan, and this would offer Thai travellers an alternative destination, while drawing visitors from South Asia to the kingdom.
"Business travellers and tourists will now be able to affordably access this destination," he said in reference to AirAsia's promotional offer of 1,490 baht (US$47) for a one-way fare on the new route.
The Bangkok-Colombo service, which is receiving reservations now, will operate with the newly-acquired Airbus A320 aircraft with 180 seats.

Will CWM or ODIN recognize the external SD card and install a ROM? I can still get into recovery so if I can put a rom on the external I'll try that instead. I just dont have one on me right now and dont want to buy one if I dont have to.
Thank you!
EDIT: It works, just in case anyone was wondering..

Hi, I was just wondering what rotation you should be following once you have the 4 piece set bonus from tier 15. I remember reading it somewhere before but I can't seem to locate it again.
Right now I am following inq tv5 inqES how exo tv4 with buff active tv3 with buff active cs j tv3. Is that the correct one to be using or should I alter it. Thanks.
There really isn't a static rotation.
It doesn't really change that much. If you have the buff just make sure you burn the proc before you CS again.
CS won't be prioritized over Exo or HoW
You might get slightly less TV over the course of the fight, but it's a pretty good dps increase.
100 Blood Elf Paladin
Keep doing same priority, just if TV buff is up try your best to NEVER use another CS unless you're <2 HPs and all other hp generater are on cd. Never delay holy TV for exo debuff, it's a dps loss over time
As Majintherm says, it's not worthwhile to alter your rotation for the set bonuses. Just keep doing the regular priority, and enjoy your Holy TVs when they happen.
Never delay holy TV for exo debuff, it's a dps loss over time
This is especially true once you consider that the Exo debuff doesn't actually affect t15 4p TVs. Until that gets fixed, anyway.

"The quality was excellent. The format allowed me to present one custom message and signature, but also left enough room to write a personalized note. Most importantly, this photo card is much more than just a thank you, it is a keepsake. I actually received thank you notes for my beautiful thank you note."
"These are terrific. Good sturdy quality card,nice design and color. On the back of the card is plenty of room to write a note if you want to add something specific to the person/family. The arrived very quickly in a sturdy box so no damage to the cards."
"This was our acknowledgement card when my mother passed. We personalized the wording and changed the font to reflect what she would have liked. The result , and the substantial quality of the paper, caused me to say "wow" when I opened the package. The recipients who mentioned it called it "elegant, refined, beautiful". Delivery was even sooner than promised, and I was so pleased that this was the card we sent to family and friends."
"The print and card quality surpassed that of similar companies, but the real standout was the individual customer service given. An adviser called me to discuss my question and when asked to leave a message, they left an actual phone number so that I could call them back! So nice to hear from a person that the design works or that something needs to change instead of trusting the coloring on the computer screen."
"I purchased these as thank yous for my bridal shower. I really like the thickness. I wrote with a super fine Sharpie and it did not bleed through. It is small, so keep that in mind. The website does say the size, but I managed to skip that important detail. I purchased the matching address labels and I spent extra on the nicer envelopes. Excellent design and quality. Highly recommend!"

WASHINGTON -- United States government says key components of Shell's program weren't finalized going into the season, which put pressure on company's operations and schedule. In the future, the government will require a more comprehensive plan describing every phase of the operation. It will also require Shell's management systems to be audited by a third party. Shell will need to provide more detailed plans before it can make another attempt to drill off the coast of Alaska, the United States Department of the Interior (DOI) said following a review of the company's troubled 2012 effort. It also found weak oversight of the contractors Shell relied on led to many of the company's problems.
Shell has already said it is going to hold off on Arctic drilling this summer to prepare plans and equipment.
"Shell screwed up in 2012 and we're not going to let them screw up" when they return to the Arctic, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar told reporters during a conference call to discuss the review, which he had ordered in January.
Shell said it will take the extra time to "apply lessons learned" from the review.
"Alaska remains a high potential area over the long term, and we remain committed to drilling there safely, again" Shell spokesman Curtis Smith said.
Shell spent nearly $5 billion on permits, personnel and equipment to prepare for the 2012 drilling season, but the venture was beset by problems before it even began. Drilling was delayed by lingering sea ice. The Noble Discoverer, the drillship used in the Beaufort Sea, almost ran aground. And after equipment designed to contain spills was damaged in a final test, Shell didn't receive a permit from United States authorities to drill wells all the way to oil bearing depths. Instead, it was only able to drill the initial stages of exploration wells, known as top holes. The department pointed to that and other problems, including the grounding of the Kulluk rig after tow ships lost control of it during a storm, as signs Shell didn't have strong enough oversight over its contractors.
Marilyn Heiman, Director of the United States Arctic Program (USAP) for The Pew Charitable Trusts, said the review was a good first step but the government needs to do more. "Improved oversight and rigorous world-leading standards must be put in place before any future Arctic drilling is allowed" she said.
The Department's recommendations were specific to Shell. A spokeswoman for ConocoPhillips, which plans to drill in the Chukchi Sea in 2014, said the company will need to review the report.

Canon PowerShot Pro1
A pro-label Canon lens shines on a compact digital camera
In shooting with the camera, I was pleased with the lens and camera performance. This is a remarkable camera that offers 28-200mm (35mm equivalent), with close-up capabilities built in, at a size far smaller (and far less costly) than the equivalent gear in a digital SLR. While the lens isn't interchangeable, you don't have to worry about dust on the sensor; you can add a 1.5x accessory lens for added range. And I found that shooting with achromatic close-up lenses, like those from Century Optics or Hoya, gave truly outstanding macro results.

Link to list open tasks from the extension's page displays both open and closed tasks
The link to list open tasks from the extension's page, displays both open and closed tasks. See for example Extension:UserMerge, which links to [1].
That's because now in phabricator, the project page goes to the workboard (see Task T89865).
Is there any other viable URL that we could use to link to all open tasks of a project? All searches give ugly URLs without a project name on them, just numeric codes or similar.
I think there is no such feature any longer: the only option would be the advanced maniphest search, but the projects selectors don't accept strings, only PHID* variables.
Maybe there is a way to get all the PHID numbers or the project description URLs for all projects, we could then store them in a switch.
Task T92303
There is such a proposal, see [Wikitech-l] Starting conversion of LiquidThreads to Flow at mediawiki.org. This is the place where consensus for mediawiki.org changes is checked, hence I'm opening the discussion here.
Also, some users have already started disabling LiquidThreads on some talk pages to use wikitext instead: what to do? Should that be done on more or less pages?
LiquidThreads was an unmitigated disaster, in my view, and has made the site worse for being here. History before it was enabled was lost (or, at least, very hard to find) the links in e-mails never take you to the thread they're supposed to, the UI is horrible and it is difficult to find things you are looking for. It actually makes the site harder to use for anyone at all experienced in wikis, not easier, and so should never have been enabled.
I haven't used Flow, so I don't know how it compares, but I would certainly vote for removing LiquidThreads! If Flow actually works in a wiki-like way (i.e. you can view history, see the state of the page before it was enabled, edit comments where necessary, etc.) then I might be persuaded that it is a good replacement, but given our experience with LiquidThreads I am fairly sceptical. For it to work it would have to be something that works inside existing wiki pages, rather than fighting against them. It would also be a requirement that all LT content can be 'migrated' to Flow so that it is not lost or broken. It is not acceptable for it to simply be shunted off to an 'old threads' namespace and abandoned - it needs to appear where it was originally posted.
The issue is as much about how the extension works behind-the-scenes and how well it integrates with the rest of the wiki, as about the interface it provides.
For example, I don't want to lose my current talk page, nor its history. If what is there can be converted seamlessly to Flow, without losing my ability to view old revisions of the page (pre-flow and post-flow), archive things in the way I have done in the past, include some non-thread-like content (e.g. introduction section) and link to specific items without the links breaking as items change (e.g. if they move to 'page 2' of the listings) then it might be viable. Otherwise, please just remove LiquidThreads and don't mess up the wiki with further incompatible plugins.
PS - From reading the wikitech-l post, it looks like once again this is a decision being forced upon us without any kind of local consensus. MediaWiki.org should not be treated as a test site, without community buy-in. If you want people to be antagonistic towards Flow, and to resent its presence on the wiki, then that is a pretty good way of going about it.
Also, I didn't realise quite how experimental/incomplete Flow currently is. Therefore, my vote is (for now at least) a firm no!
The comment from Risker/Anne sums things up pretty well, as far as I'm concerned.
Please just remove LiquidThreads and come back to us with a proposal for Flow when it is out of beta and feature-complete.
Please no back to plain wikitext talk pages, at least for talk pages with hundreds of posts (like Current_issues and Support_desk). Wikitext talk pages are terrible to follow and archiving is as bad as the wikitext discussion format itself. I prefer LQT (in it's fairly bad state) before wikitext, but i welcome a move to Flow, after it is in a workable state (see, e.g., this mail).
See also[edit | edit source]
- Thread:Project:Support desk/Starting conversion of LiquidThreads to Flow at mediawiki.org
- Topic:Sdoatsbslsafx6lw
Is it possible to have a complete list of LQT pages on this wiki? That would help the discussion.
Certainly it makes sense to use modern discussion software on Project:Support desk, as that is a high-traffic forum-style page which is aimed at IT professionals and server administrators more than wiki users.
I agree that for the support desk, and maybe a couple of other support-related pages, a more forum-like approach is sensible.
However, one does have to question why we use the wiki for these purposes at all. We don't use the wiki for internal issue tracking, so I'm not sure why we are using it for support. I am not aware of any other company or open source project that would consider using a wiki for handling support issues - it is clearly the wrong tool for the job.
Perhaps a more sensible solution would be to use support desk software for handling the support desk, rather than trying to shoe-horn non-wiki-like tools into the wiki, which will inevitably bring unsatisfactory results (as has been shown with LQT).
FWIW, there was such a proposal too: phabricator:T31923.
Search is pretty good at finding LQT talk pages: [1].
Special:PagesWithProp also works. [1] - currently LQT is on 1,639 pages - (I'm not sure why that number differs (1,567) from the search that Nemo linked?)
Re: existing posts - currently 52,526 individual posts. Of those: 24,897 of those are in Project:Support_desk; 1,269 in VisualEditor/Feedback.
I'm asking devs for help getting a more detailed listing of All pages ordered by size (number of posts).
[Update: A list of all pages with more than 10 posts, is now at phab:P417, and converted into an onwiki page with links at Flow/LQT pages.]
The Flow/LQT_pages are interesting, thanks. Just for fun I looked at the even (non-talk) namespace numbers: One entry in 90 might be odd (3 contributions counted as 12), and for the Project:Forum redirect I didn't get why it's counted as 94.
Last edit: 07:14, 24 March 2015
Note: We'll be holding an IRC office hour for Flow, this Monday at 19:30 UTC / 12:30 PDT. You can find information on how to get online, including a link to a webchat option if you don't have an IRC client, on the meta office hours page. The intended focus is for questions about the LQT -> Flow conversion here. Everyone is welcome for discussions and question answering. Logs will be posted on the meta office hour page afterwards.

WMF, please ensure you table such proposals only after you've thoroughly tested the conversion. Thanks.
I don't know if it's just an unfortunate coincidence, or what, but since this announcement, the usability of LQT has degraded a lot...
First I reported that submitting a reply doesn't display the reply unless you refresh the page (Task T93374).
Today hitting "show preview" displays a confirmation dialog about leaving the page, and if you proceed, you end up submitting an edit to the underlying page and not on the message you was editing!
PD: Reported as Task T94089
Some time ago I proposed this client. Unfortunately it never got approved and is now listed as "expired", but I'm still interested in it. What am I supposed to do?
Vague ideas, maybe ask one of the OAuth admins what's next after "expired". If you figured it out please add it on the Extension:OAuth page, and/or start a thread on Extension talk:OAuth, and/or tackle the odd m:Meta:OAuth administrators stub.
More to the point, some kind of "identification game" sounds like "bring as many privacy lawyers as the EU has members for an initial informal discussion how to get global community consensus".
Just a quick notice, letting you know I'm currently working on a bot that get's documentation from the PHP classes (required rights, must be posted, parameter optional/required + description, examples etc.) into wikitext and saving to a wiki page.
Zak originally created something for this (example), but the source code remains unpublished and the format has changed a lot since then.
Roughly what I've got / aiming for (about 50% done)
- Extract module name/class pairs from
$mainApi = new ApiMain
- Loop over and instantiate it:
$module = new $class( $mainApi, $name );
- Buid a documentation page in wikitext format:
new ApiDoc4Wikitext( $module );
- {{API-head}} with parameter values from
- Parameter section build with a function based on
makeHelpMsgParametersbut in wikitext format
- Examples section based on array from
getExamples, which is then dissected into parts for {{ApiEx}}, followed by an http request to exampleurl+format=xmlfm and output cleaned up and unescaped and fed to result-parameter of {{ApiEx}}.
- Categories
- {{API-head}} with parameter values from
- Either write wikitext to a file and let another bot save to wiki, or write a simple wikibot and save right away.
To be done:
- Example section
- Saving mechanism
Any ideas / existing code I can look at ?
The source code mentioned above is an empty svn folder. Is it hiding in an archived svn branch, or did it never see the light of day? This is now relatively easy to do with Pywikibot since I added a ParamInfo class. See API_talk:Main_page#Missing_documentation_pages for some basic code.
Does anyone know who Zak is? And/or where this prototype code might be?
Zak was probably the contractor that the foundation hired a few years ago, Once his contact ended he didn't return.
Zak hasn't been around for a while. I knew him when he was here (I had a chance to meet him in Gdansk) but since then he hasn't really been involved.
Thanks Peachey88 and Mark. Is his code lost? Can we contact him? phab:T31936 is related. I cant find much more about it.
I sent him a message on FB. Let's see if he responds.

Note that ApiHelp can now be transcluded, see an example at Extension:Flow/API. I think SPage has plans to start/propose using this feature more widely once it gets possible to select content language à la {{TNT}} (currently it's only possible via interface language change, e.g. [1]).
So far, Special:ApiHelp is extremely ugly (but better than nothing), and the details on Extension:Flow/API are not provided by Special:ApiHelp - they are added by hand. Also there is one aspect of the documentation which can't be generated (currently): information about previous releases. i.e. when each module & parameter was added, deprecated, & removed. Sadly there is not a lot of care for wikis running anything but the bleeding edge.
{{API-head}} has been improved to include a link to the API help module, so the current help is easy to get to, and that template has been added to most of the existing API pages.
My proposal is phab:T89318, John Vandenberg and RobinHood70 raise excellent points. We'll have this tension with any generated documentation, so I mention it in phab:T93026 "remove wiki documentation that duplicates generated documentation (tracking)."
"It gets rebuilt from scratch on every code change" is a feature and a bug :)
Mass vandalism by User:Prianka
This user has used a bot to remove content from pages. Please revert their edits.
@Kaldari: uploaded a new version of File:Wiki.png today. I don't like it. In fact, I thought it was vandalism at first. Can we get this reverted?
I like the idea of using special logos for special milestones and/or events and so on, but maybe it should be discussed first.
Discussion, it's not directly related to Extension:SemanticMustacheFormat, but just in case I "rescued" it.
It would be OK if it was explained somewhere... Most folks won't get such tech-jokes and therefore mistake them for vandalism or at least for a bad joke.
And this logo was used on https://www.wikimedia.org too until a few minutes ago [1]... I'm also not completely against changing logos for special occassions but there is no explanation about why it was changed.. I've checked various places but I still can't find anything about this.
Hmm, https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/181708 Okk but can we really have an explanation somewhere; maybe the logo's link could be changed..
Extension:GraphViz The design of the page looks broken. Funny thing is that has been no edit recently.
- Firefox (35.0.1): completely broken
- Chrome (Version 40.0.2214.115 m): same as Firefox
- Internet Exporer: looks awful, especially the top part.
Thanks for reporting this! Seems to be related to recent edits to Template:WikimediaDownload (which is used on that page) to make it translatable. I've dropped a message on the author's talk page as I have no idea what went wrong here exactly... :(

Anyone having this problem too?
The Wikimedia Engineering report for August is still a draft, the link to the September summary is a red link, and {{SoFixIt}} is not applicable. But WP:BRION is alive and kicking again.
You gotta be kidding, "Previous reports" in the footer has three red links. :) m:Tech/News mostly replaced BRION. WMF reports are lagging behind due to some work shifts in their maintainers, AFAICS.
Well, those links worked seven years ago, before somebody intentinally "lost" his m+w passwords. :-| The new m:Tech/News/Latest is fine, I have a link to it on my user page.
The engineering reports have traditionally been published within two weeks after the end of a month. The reports for August and September were delayed due to several reasons, but the August report has now been published, and the September report is being drafted and will be published shortly.
That said, it's true that the engineering reports are very labor-intensive, and that's why we're considering replacing them by a more consistent combination of timely updates (in the form of Tech News and status updates) and quarterly retrospectives. See also the last paragraph of this wikitech-l email.
Hi, please let the first missing Wikimedia Engineering/Report/2015/January explain that the monthly reports are now finished for good, I still had a convoluted
[[Wikimedia Engineering/Report/{{#time:Y/F|now-31days}}|Tech report]] for {{#time:F|now-31days}} rendered as "Tech report for February" on my user page.
Thank you for following up: I'm waiting for the new system to be in place before announcing that the reports in their old format are officially been retired. See also T88468, T88470 and T24.
I've updated three related pages on this side:
- On Wikimedia Engineering/Report/2014 red link "2015" now goes to phabricator:tag/report/
- On Wikimedia Engineering/Report/2015/January phab:T88470 is flagged as "resolved".
- On draft m:Tech/News/2015/10 the issue is noted as "future change" announcing the tag.

It seems the default search namespaces on this wiki haven't been updated for some time. Just now I searched for
apidisabled in the search box, and only got 1 result, which was some release notes page. What I really wanted was API:Restricting API usage.
Currently the following namespaces are in our default search namespaces:
- (Main)
- Help
- Manual
- Extension
I propose that we add the following namespaces:
- Skin
Any comments?
Good idea.
I believe you need to log a ticket in the bug tracker for this kind of change, as it requires modifying the site config files.
+1 Should be an easy change with a lot of benefits.
Yep, makes sense; let's also include them in content namespaces if we didn't yet.
+1 (they aren't content pages atm), if there is enough content to be helpful for search, it should be a content page.
I just read it now, so that would be a new change/task :)

Lee County Courthouse
Constructed in 1908, the Lee County Courthouse is situated in Bishopville and was built six years following the incorporation of the county. It was planned that there be a Neo-Classical design replete with ethnic stone and yellow brick construction that is a result of the Roman pattern both in case of the law and architecture. It is historically-significant for being the only courthouse the county has ever had. Its grounds are encompassed with a mountain cannon, a Civil War memorial and a flagpole.

Today's Balance Sheet
Liberals must face the stark truth: Both parties have agreed to sacrifice the middle.
The ailing country prepares for another round of elections as talk of leaving the Eurozone escalates.
Is the change that Occupy Wall Street and other groups have been fighting for finally on its way?
Unless a mass movement rises to counter the war on government and unions, current trends will likely continue.
Netanyahu's re-election—and the way in which he won it—is but one touchstone of a crisis of the spirit.
He can't bring himself to fold and toss his cards into the muck.

Arbitrator will decide whether Josh Hamilton should enter rehab - ESPN Los Angeles
While I sympathize with Hamilton battle with addiction and hope he wins this fight, I don't believe it's unreasonable that he should lose the money he won't be earning during his time away from the game. This isn't his first second chance. Mistakes have consequences. From what I've seen in my life, avoiding consequences after repeated mistakes doesn't ultimately help the person change. Ultimately, whatever decision gets made, Josh Hamilton's choices will control his future.

Up-cycling and free-cycling can bring out your creative side and bring down carbon footprint
It may seem as if Bangalore's waste disposal crisis has been resolved. However, the landfill in Mandur is still very much a reality, teeming with tonnes of unsegregated waste. If these recent events have taught us anything, it is that waste management cannot be taken lightly. It has forced us to look closely at the things we buy, the items we use and the ways in which we dispose of these products. While waste segregation at the source remains one of the top lessons learnt, waste disposal in more unique and innovative ways has become the need of the hour. Are we throwing away things that someone else could use? Can we refashion these items and enjoy them in a new avatar? These are questions worth asking, and luckily several of Bangalore's eco-citizens have come up with answers.
Up-cycling and free-cycling
Neo-recycling concepts that are fast catching on, up-cycling and free-cycling are creative ways of waste disposal. Both endeavour to be of environmental value by keeping disused, but reusable, items out of a landfill. While up-cycling is the process of converting old or waste items into new and better products with a different utility, free-cycling is all about passing on an article that may not be of use to the original owner to someone else who may need it, for free.
"Up-cycling is essentially a form of repurposing where an object may have outlived its original purpose, so instead of throwing it away, you try to find another use for it by making minimal or no adjustment/change to its shape and form with little or no material additions," says Monami Bhattacharya of Project Emm, an up-cycling initiative started by her. "Making a low-seater out of a car tyre, a letterbox out of an eight-year-old toaster, or a phone table out of a flush tank and a mirror out of a toilet seat, are all examples of up-cycling," she says.
The sceptics only have to look up Project Emm (https://www.facebook.com/ProjectEmm) to believe it is all true. "When I was growing up, I saw my mum reduce waste. While the organic would go straight into the soil, inorganic things such as old saris and T-shirts would find a new purpose in the form of quilts, mattresses, pillow covers and soft toys. My sister and I caught on and used to make posters out of comic strips printed in newspapers. Today, this is a very popular form of decoupage and has a niche demand – old movie or music cassette covers and comic strips in serving trays or as pen holders," adds Monami.
For the ladies at Silver Nut Tree inspiration came by way of their children who were being introduced to the concepts of ecology at school. "The very hard questions posed by our children led us to some very serious thinking and revamping the common perception of recycling," says Angeline Robinson, who co-founded Silver Nut Tree with Rituparna Das.
"Recycling need not be drab and boring. For us it started with a humble PET plastic bottle that showed the promise of becoming a treasure that no one would throw away. We then went on to find ways to up-cycle rubber tubes, bottle caps, washers, nuts, CDs and glass bottles," adds Rituparna.
At Silver Nut Tree (www.facebook.com/SilverNutTree) perceivable pieces of junk are fashioned into beautiful pieces of jewellery or home décor. Glass bottles, CDs and bottle caps have ended up as avant-garde pieces of fashion. "Unlike recycling that requires specific technology and scientific process that are not cheap, up-cycling is primarily rooted in creativity and imagination, giving the up-cycler freedom of thought and expression. It involves reusing, repurposing and uplifting both trash and regular items around the home into something of higher value. The process is often laborious, but very basic and need not be expensive at all," says Angeline.
The Free-cycling Network can be credited with popularising the concept of "gifting" groups after its formation in 2003. Registered as a non-profit organisation in Arizona, USA, and separately as a charity in the UK. The Free-cycling Network grew to become a 7,542,121 member strong group across the globe. Its Bangalore chapter functions on a yahoo group where at least one post goes up every day, offering free-cyclers items as varied as guitars, paintings, babies' clothing and modems. "Most of the items on offer are usually books, chargers, modems, children's toys etc. Sometimes, it is a case of more people asking than receiving. I feel item condition is usually decent, but people are sometimes sceptical about picking up clothes and electronics," says Smriti Krishna, a member of the group's Facebook arm.
"I'm all for free-cycling. But sometimes there is this tug over giving the item to people who can afford it or donating it to charity," she says.
It is certainly difficult to find things for free, even more so with giving up things for free. While the guardians of free-cycling continue to place their faith in the system, the process has taken on different forms with groups such as Second to None and Garage Sale thriving with activity on Facebook.
The seller here usually uploads a picture of an item he or she wishes to sell, much below its original price, giving a description of the item and specifying the pickup location. This has been of much success and surely keeps unwanted items out of a landfill as well.
What can I upcycle?
Ceramic chipped cups, bowls, plates, toilet fittings, car tyres, PET and wine bottles, CD/DVD, bulbs and CFLs, newspaper, plastic containers, tins and cans, old disused furniture etc can be upcycled easily.
Where can I freecycle?

I've got this yesterday, exactly what I was looking for. I was actually about to get Chanel Chance, then I tried this, knew exactly that was it. Not as powerful as the original Chance, but fresher and more suitable for the day use. Loved it.

I love this scent. It's nice and clean and very sexy. It only takes a little and it lasts on my skin all day. I always get compliments when I wear it. I'm on my way to buy another bottle right now.

A watery citrus floral. Nice but not special. It seems very same-y to the department store types on me. It gets a resounding 'eh' vote.

There was a time when this was limited edition - I am so very glad that Chanel made this a permanent scent. I wear this very often. It has a very distinct scent and is fun and vibrant - perfect for just every day use. It doesn't stay as well as Coco Mademoiselle, but it is still a great perfume. I've gotten a lot of compliments when I wear it, so the smell is definitely attention drawing. It tones down throughout the day and settles in this nice fruity floral scent. My scarves hold residual Chance and they make my closet smell lovely. :)

I love this perfume! I received it as a gift and I wear it almost everyday now. It's become my favorite perfume. It's a powerful scent without being too harsh. I've gotten many compliments on it. When I run out, I'm going to shell out the money and buy a bottle myself.

I use to wear the original Chance when it first came out. Until I found out it contributes to my migraines. Plus, it's a little heavier than what I usually like. After reading reviews on here, I now can smell the lime that everyone refers to. I actually love it. Very clean and fresh. I'm sure I'll buy it again.

I love all of Chanel's perfumes and have all of them. I can't say this is my fav since all of Chanel's perfumes are my favorites. It's just dependent on my mood of the day. This is a more uplifting, fresh, sporty, and happy kind of fragrance. Chanel perfumes are my HG fragrances. I'm docking 1 lippie because it has no staying power whatsoever!! What a disappointment! Will repurchase if the price of this does not exceed it's current amount of Cdn $60 (before taxes). If it goes higher, then I can't justify the monies spent on it due to the lacking staying power. EDIT: I ended up returning it because I got fed up carrying the perfume with me in my purse. If Chanel made an Eau de Parfum version of this, then I will definitely buy it again. I'll pass on this for now which seems to me more like a 'body mist' than anything.

Very fresh, yet manages to "warm up" a little throughout the day. I paid $80 for the 3.4 oz. bottle at Macy's, a definite splurge for me.
By the end of the day it becomes quite sexy and makes me want to put on a cuddly sweater and watch 80's movies with my husband. No bad notes for me, and I have touble with scents going "musky".Ladies who prefer headier scents might not love this, but if you prefer fresh, non-foody scents that last and transform throughout the day, try this!

Ok, the first time I smelt this, it was given to me by my bf as a those mini samples... sprayed it a few times and savoured it because it's like a the fresh smell of those nice breezy summer nights. When I went to Myer and other department stores and found out it was like $160 for a 100ml (3.4oz), I was like "Um... no"... found it on Ebay for $73 inc (P&H) and my final thought - I LOVE THIS FRAGRANCE. It's fresh, sweet and makes you feel... good. The lime, citrus notes give it the oomph and zest to any outfit and any occasion. It's a reminder of summer which I guess we all love to come back to... I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.... BUT... make sure it's the EDT as the Parfum version to me is a bit too strong - it's as if they've put some musky notes into it... i recommend Chanel Chance eau Fraiche EDT.

You're forgetting the fact that when the other lanes feed, you get ganked by these fed enemies. This sets you behind - whether they kill you or force you from lane. It never fails that when a single lane feeds, that enemy comes at me - usually because I'm so far ahead of my enemy laner in cs, kills or both. Genarally, they won;t kill me, but they can force me off of cs, or keep me in passive mode long enough for the feeder to feed them more. Then it's a lost cause...GG.
There is no ELO hell.
That being said, having a positive KDR doesn't make you a good player. It means that you got more last hits than others. This game is about destroying the nexus, and until people realize that, they will keep losing. I myself am in "ELO hell", but I recently realized that its not the teams that's a problem, its the player. You are in the ELO you belong in because that's how statistics work. Its statistically impossible for the other team to "never have trolls" and for you to always have them. Have you ever noticed that when you win, the other team ALWAYS says that they lost because of one or two specific players? People can't accept the fact that they are losing the number of games they are losing because they are playing wrong. They chase for kills, they flame their team mates, they settle for 1 for 1 exchanges just to get a kill. The best way to win games? Coach people. Some games, yes, you'll have those who tell you to shove off, but mostly, as long as you don't flame, people will take your advice and buy wards, stick together, go for dragon, wait in a brush, stop going out alone, etc.
Statistically, after large numbers of games, you are where you belong. You get "trolls" as often as the other team does. Nothing changes in higher ELO. You still have feeders, trolls, and players who make mistakes. Get used to it. It'll never change.

Everybody just have a good time don't care you if you lose just have fun!!
Looks like the poster that put in a link meant championselect.NET, not .com.
Lets look at your match history that I can see:
Akali 9/9/5 - average player in this game
shaco 4/3/3 - average player + 1 kill doesn't carry your team
zed 5/6/5 - -1 isn't terrible but not helping your team
Zed 13/12/10 - impressive kill count but your deaths negate the good you did
Varus 8/9/4 - Hurt your team here, ADC has to remain positive to win
Zed 9/10/7 - negative 1 again nothing special
Nocturne - 2/4/0 - any time you play a game with a damage dealer or bruiser and get only 2 kills you are hurting your team
Orianna - 10/8/11 - respectable but again not carrying the team because you put yourself in danger and die a lot
Zed - 18/9/12 - This game is not your fault for losing I can say. But this is the only game so far that you didn't play some part.
Orianna 5/3/12. Respectable and you won.
Overall I'd say you're slightly below average compared to the opponents you've been playing. You're negative in more games than your positive and that means you aren't winning the laning phase by enough to carry yourself up the ELO ladder. So I'd say that problem might be partly due to your team, but surely you are contributing to these losses as well.
I'd suggest looking at your own play during laning phase and learn how to stay alive better. Things like wards, more pots, better cs, zoning, positioning. While you seem effective most games at getting killed, you seem to be slightly more effective at getting yourself killed. When that happens your rating is unlikely to go up. Oh yea, and you can't blame feeders for your KDA ratios. If you're good enough to carry your team you should be having good stat lines even in losses.
No such thing as elo hell trust me I lost every single one of my placement matches due to trolls and was down in 1080s and now I'm 1550. Yes everyone has lost a match due to another player but that is EVERY elo and EVERY GAME. Thats what you call a team game if you dont like the concept of losing/winning due to other players maybe you should stick to skyrim?

Coliseum Morpheuon: Anthology of Dreams
Rite Publishing(based on 1 rating)
From the seed of a dream, a host of brilliant worlds grow.
In the mysterious plane of Dream, across the vast and shifting Slumbering Sea, sits an impossible island which glimmers in the mind's eye like a beckoning alien star. There, within a chimeric arena wrought from pure crystaline terror, the monstrously charming Khan of Nightmares holds a tournament of bloodsport beyond imagination, drawing forth strange and powerful gladiators from across the multiverse to compete and kill in hopes of winning immortal glory and a cup that runneth over with wishes. To and fro beneath the dark shadow of the Coliseum Morpheuon, dreams are born, live, and die.
Clinton J. Boomer and Jonathan McAnulty's acclaimed Coliseum Morpheuon set the stage and the standard for epic adventure past the bleeding edge of reality--and now that legacy of glorious dreams and terrifying nightmares continues. Inspired authors of game and fantasy including Steven E. Schend ("Blackstaff," "Blackstaff Tower"), L. Jagi Lamplighter ("Prospero's Daughter" trilogy), Tim Hitchcock (Pathfinder Adventure Path #31: "Stolen Land"), Neil Spicer (Pathfinder Modules: Realm of the Fellnight Queen), and many more, reveal the myriad facets of this creative jewel and herein spin tales of haunting nightmares, dauntless dreamers, and the limitless possibilities of the world that is born and breathes anew each time we close our eyes.

Arizona Diamondbacks
'Gritty' D-backs ranked low in CBS Sports power rankings
The Arizona Diamondbacks rid themselves of a cornerstone player and top pitching prospect this offseason.
Two-time All-Star Justin Upton was traded to Atlanta in exchange for third baseman Martin Prado, pitcher Randall Delgado and others.
Pitcher Trevor Bauer, the third-overall draft pick in the 2011 draft, was sent to Cleveland in a three-team deal that landed the D-backs shortstop Didi Gregorius.
The team also added outfielders Cody Ross and Tony Campana along with third baseman Eric Chavez, among others, while bolstering its pitching staff with the acquisitions of Brandon McCarthy and Heath Bell.
Still, CBSSports.com baseball writer Matt Snyder wasn't impressed by the team's moves. In his pre-season power rankings the D-backs stand at 19, right ahead of the Pirates, Yankees and Red Sox.
After trading his best player and most promising starting pitcher, general manager Kevin Towers said he wanted his team to get grittier. Generally speaking, that means less talented, in my opinion. Think about it. Do you ever hear Miguel Cabrera, Matt Kemp or Andrew McCutchen called gritty? Nope. They're just incredible baseball players. And, yes, they do hustle and work hard. I'll take more of those. You can have your "gritty" Tony Campanas.
Contrary to Snyder's opinion, "grittiness" is not the only thing the D-backs may have acquired.
There's no doubt Upton is extremely talented and it's never easy parting with a player of his caliber, but in return the D-backs received a disciplined hitter who struck out 52 times less than the 25-year-old outfielder in 2012 and has 32 more hits over the past four seasons.
As for Gregorius, the shortstop has hit .458 in 24 at-bats this spring, while Ross accounted for 22 home runs and 81 RBI with the Red Sox last season.
Then there's Campana, who swiped 54 bags in two seasons for the Cubs, and will provide a threat on the base paths for Arizona.
So are the D-backs grittier? Maybe. But there's a chance they'll also be better, and that's what it's all about.

Average profit of UK private dental practices was just ahead of NHS in nearly a decade according to the latest statistics from the National Association of Specialist Dental Accountants and Lawyers(NASDAL). The difference is small, with an average NHS practice making a profit of £129,000 per dentist, compared to £131,000 in a private one but there were some strong performances in private practice during 2013-14.

A new Change4Life campaign launched by Public Health England encourages parents to cut down the amount of sugar their children consume by making one or more simple swaps. It says that sugar can have 'a devastating impact upon dental health' as well as allowing fat to build up inside the body. This can lead to heart disease, some cancers or type 2 diabetes later in life.

A survey by the BDA shows that dentists are almost twice as likely as the general population to feel dissatisfied with life. It found that dentists rated their levels of satisfaction with life, happiness, and whether the activities they engage in seem worthwhile, at much lower levels than the wider population. They also reported higher levels of anxiety.
A scheme to varnish thousands of primary school and nursery pupils' teeth with fluoride has been positive, according to Bradford District Care Trust which provides the service. All primary schools across Bradford and Airedale have been invited to sign up for the varnishing sessions carried out by dental nurses and so far about 300 of them have enrolled.
Henrik Overgaard-Nielsen, a GDP from West London, has been elected 'by a landslide' to chair the BDA's General Dental Practice Committee (GDPC). Also elected as Vice-Chairs were West Midlands Dave Cottam and from North Yorkshire Richard Emms. In his election address for the committee Henrik said: 'I have always believed that GDPC needs to be more forceful in dealing with the Department of Health'.
Allegations of poor hygiene practices by Mr D'Mello led to 22,000 patients being recalled for blood tests. But out of 4,506 people tested only five were found positive for hepatitis C. Government statistics state the rate in the population is 0.32%, so in this sample, 14 cases would be expected. However a former patient of D'Mello is suing him for failing to spot that he had periodontal disease.
This Cochrane review included 10 studies and found low quality evidence that fluoride toothpaste containing xylitol may be more effective than fluoride-only toothpaste for preventing caries in the permanent teeth. The evidence for other xylitol products is insufficient to assess effectiveness. The post Xylitol in toothpaste may provide small additional benefit over fluoride toothpastes appeared first on The Dental Elf.
