June 27, 2015--World's aquifers losing replenishment race, researchers say (New York Times)
From the Arabian Peninsula to northern India to California's Central Valley, nearly a third of the world's 37 largest aquifers are being drained faster than they are being replenished, according to a recent study led by scientists at the University of California, Irvine.
February 18, 2015--Pinching our aquifer piggy banks in California, Colorado and beyond (Mountain Town News)
To grasp the immensity of the groundwater pumping in California during the last century, think back to the last time you flew into Las Vegas. Before descending into McCarran International Airport, you may have swept across Lake Mead. When full, the reservoir is 112 miles long and up to 532 feet deep.
January 24, 2015--Report: Farming and urban growth are polluting America's aquifers (Circle of Blue)
Farming and urban growth, two forces that are reshaping the land surface, are also changing the chemistry and physical properties of the nation's aquifers, leading to greater concentrations of natural and manmade pollutants that could persist for decades in essential underground water sources, according to a comprehensive U.S.
October 15, 2014--Time for a serious policy on water pricing (Bloomberg Businessweek)
Do you know the price of your monthly cell phone bill? I bet you do. How about your water bill? What's the cost difference between taking a shower for 5 minutes or 30 minutes? Most Americans consume plenty of clean water without worrying much, if at all, about its price. Yet which is more valuable, water or a smartphone?

August 18, 2014--The cup's half full without groundwater regulation (Los Angeles Times)
They're all patting themselves on the back in the state Capitol for finally achieving a water bond deal. And that's fine. It was a momentous act. But what really would be historic — and worth running self-congratulatory reelection ads about — would be to pair the bond proposal with even more important groundwater regulation.
August 17, 2014--West's historic drought stokes fears of water crisis (Washington Post)
When the winter rains failed to arrive in this Sacramento Valley town for the third straight year, farmers tightened their belts and looked to the reservoirs in the nearby hills to keep them in water through the growing season.
August 9, 2014--In dry California, water goes to those who drill the deepest (Al Jazeera America)
The only sign of life sprouting out of a vast expanse of land in this unincorporated corner of Tulare County is a large drilling rig and two trucks laden with 1,000-foot-long drill pipes. Men in hard hats work round the clock in sweltering 100-plus degree temperatures and in the still of the night, under the glare of construction night lights.
July 29, 2014--Groundwater pumping causes ground to drop (Press-Enterprise)
Creating a lush, artificial oasis in the Coachella Valley has siphoned away so much underground water that the land above it is sinking. Land surfaces declined nine inches to two feet in some areas of Palm Desert, Indian Wells, and La Quinta between 1995 and 2010 because so much groundwater was being pumped from the aquifers beneath, according to a 17-year study done by the U.S.
July 26, 2014--Aquifer's decline threatens economy (Salina Journal)
As a boy in the late 1940s, Gary Baker occasionally rolled out of bed at 3 a.m. to help his father harness a head of water meandering down the Great Eastern Ditch. The supply was diverted from the Arkansas River and collected in Lake McKinney, then released to feed a ditch system capable of flood-irrigating crops.
July 25, 2014--Oil and gas companies look to deep aquifers for water (KUNC)
Applications to the state to use deep aquifer water for hydraulic fracturing are surging in Colorado. Before 2011 there were no applications for oil and gas use. Since 2011 though, property owners have applied to use 35,600 acre-feet of aquifer water for oil and gas development, according to the Colorado Division of Water Resources.

NEW YORK - DECEMBER 06: Brian Boyle #22 of the New York Rangers celebrtaes his first period goal against the Detroit Red Wings on December 6, 2009 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. (Photo by Nick Laham/Getty Images)
No question, the Rangers made a huge splash this summer with the acquisition of Rick Nash. Thanks to the move the Rangers find themselves with more (legitimate) elite talent than they have had in well over a decade but at some stage even top line players need offensive support. Even the dominant Edmonton Oilers of the 1980's had role players step up when needed. With the loss of Brandon Dubinsky and Artem Anisimov the Rangers lost two core role players. They lost two home grown Rangers that proved they had offensive ability, even if they lacked consistency. Unfortunately you have to give to receive. With those two gone however, it offers a bigger chance for another player or two to step up. Forget Callahan, Stepan and Kreider. All three could be needed in the top six and will be counted on to various degrees. The opportunity that presents itself is a perfect chance for Brian Boyle to reassert himself as a critical piece in the Rangers line up. Boyle needs a good season. While he cam...

Material based on the experiences of the people on the Autistic Spectrum is usually written by neurotypical writers. Here, Genevieve and Dean, both adults with Asperger's Syndrome, share their advice and tips for romantic success. The chapters cover: building self-esteem; the best places to meet potential partners; dating; maintaining relationships. Both authors work with the Asperger community, either providing support or training, so their insight is based upon other people's experiences as well as their own. This is shown in a number of case studies that support the elements described in each chapter. They write in a clear, accessible and non-patronizing way which will suit their audience. This will prove to be an invaluable book to those with Asperger's or those that support Asperger people.

Paint Sealants
Hey hopefully someone can help me out, I'm looking to buy a paint sealant to apply to my cars to help protect them. I wash my cars a couple times a year(say 2-4 times) and I only apply wax once or twice a year. I'm not really concerned with it being clean I just want it protected, mainly from the sun here in FL. I recently found out sealants last way longer than cheap wax from walmart so want to buy some sealant and stop wasting my time with wax. Here's some products I've found with some research:
Menzerna Power Lock Polymer Paint Sealant
Zaino(not really sure which product is the sealant I'm looking for...)
Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze
Wolfgang Deep Glass Paint Sealant 3.0
I'm looking for a sealant that will last 6-12 months and I'll apply it by hand. I don't want to prep the surface, wax it, seal it, top coat it, etc. or whatever. Just looking for protection. I will wash it with water and soap and then apply a sealant.
Any help is appreciated.
Then I am going to hire a cabana boy to put it on :)
Ok, seriously, what he wants to know.
Back to the topic, sorry!
No apologies necessary, I'm sure you are aware that I'm very good at thread jacking :) lol
Whatever paint sealent you choose you must do the preparation correctly.
1. Wash car with a few ounces of dawn to strip any previous sealants or wax
2. Clay bar the car
3. Apply sealent (I would go with a machine sealent as it last longer)
4. Wait 12-24 hours for the sealent to cure
5. Apply layer of wax
Really need to wax every other month or so. Your sealent most likely will not last more than 6 months.
^what product would you recommend?
I spend a lot of time cleaning my truck though. I hand wash only and if it rains it gets another hand wash. It takes me about 3 hours to do a full regular wash and dress the trim. If I do a full strip wash, sealent, clay, and wax then your looking about 5-6 hours lol. It is expensive to get all your products at first but when your talking about premium car care then there are way different procedures. The stuff I recommend is not your daddy's $2 turtle wax. I have almost $800 in car products... That sounds crazy I know.
Thanks for all the advice. I'm not really looking for shortcuts, just that I very rarely wash my cars, and want to apply something that will last and protect.
When I wash my truck it takes me all day(realistically like 5 hours....but feels like all day lol) just to wash it, clean the wheels and tires, and vacuum and clean the interior. That doesn't count applying a wax or sealant. When I do it though I am thorough, I do door jambs, under the rockers, under the mud spats, etc.
Personally I don't think I need to clay bar for the sealant to bond, but maybe I'm wrong. I don't want to pay someone to do the work, I don't trust others to not damage my stuff.
The adams stuff looks good. I don't really understand why it has to be applied with a polisher though, if I do it by hand will it really not work? Maybe I could just buy a polisher and safe some time and labor.
Found a porter cable dual action polisher for $109 brand new. Thinking about getting that and the adams sealant (~$25).
So I would apply it with the polisher, then what let it dry for a little while? Then wipe it off and let cure for a day?

For years, the Bass Pro Tournament of Champions has been a slam dunk for both local fans and for student-athletes in Springfield Public Schools.
Blue-chip college basketball recruits play in front of big crowds, and roughly $50,000 of tournament profits land directly in SPS athletics. Team uniforms, scoreboards, wrestling mats - you name it, and tournament money may have contributed.
Now, one year after setting an ambitious goal to match the record haul of $81,125 set in 2010, the SPS athletic director already is part of the way there as the 30th Tournament of Champions opens today at JQH ...

Casey Prather didn't waste time announcing his return to his teammates and all those in the O'Connell Center. Eighteen seconds after checking in during the second half, he skied for an offensive rebound, corralled it and went back up to draw a foul. The crowd noticed the effort, but it was the Florida bench that appreciated it the most. The junior has developed a knack for the athletic plays.

Legislative Roll Call | PUBLIC RECORDS | Feb. 27 to March 2
WASHINGTON - Here's how members of Congress voted on major issues in the week ending March 2.
FOR-PROFIT COLLEGES: Voting 303 for and 114 against, the House on Feb. 28 sent the Senate a bill (HR 2117) to repeal new Department of Education rules for for-profit colleges and universities. One rule requires for-profit institutions to meet accreditation requirements in each state in which they have students and establishes state-by-state processes for handling student complaints. Another rule targeted by the bill sets a uniform definition of what constitutes a credit hour for purposes of allocating federal financial aid. The rules are scheduled to take effect in July 2014.
For-profit schools, many of which specialize in online or "distance" degree programs, account for 11 percent of the students in U.S. higher education and rely heavily on federally backed student loans and federal grants for their revenue. Their students receive about one-quarter of all student loans and comprise 43 percent of those who default on such loans, according to the Department of Education. Some of the best-known for-profit institutions are Capella, Kaplan and DeVry universities and the University of Phoenix.
A yes vote was to pass the bill.
Voting yes: Peter Visclosky, D-1, Joe Donnelly, R-2, Marlin Stutzman, R-3, Todd Rokita, R-4, Dan Burton, R-5, Mark Pence, R-6, Andre Carson, D-7, Larry Bucshon, R-8, Todd Young, R-9
Voting yes: Ed Whitfield, R-1, Brett Guthrie, R-2, Geoff Davis, R-4, Harold Rogers, R-5, Ben Chandler, D-6
Voting no: John Yarmuth, D-3
Voting yes: Dan Lipinski, D-3, Peter Roskam, R-6, Joe Walsh, R-8, Robert Dold, R-10, Adam Kinzinger, R-11, Jerry Costello, D-12, Judy Biggert, R-13, Randy Hultgren, R-14, Timothy Johnson, R-15, Donald Manzullo, R-16, Bobby Schilling, R-17, Aaron Schock, R-18, John Shimkus, R-19
Voting no: Bobby Rush, D-1, Luis Gutierrez, D-4, Mike Quigley, D-5, Danny Davis, D-7, Jan Schakowsky, D-9
Not voting: Jesse Jackson Jr., D-2
STUDENT-COMPLAINT PROCESS: Voting 170 for and 247 against, the House on Feb. 28 rejected the establishment of a formal process by which students could file grievances with state education officials against for-profit colleges and universities. The process would give students a channel for venting complaints over matters such as quality of instruction and financial-aid disputes. Opponents said state accrediting agencies already are set up to hear such complaints. As a result of this vote, the Department of Education's new rule requiring state-by-state complaint procedures would be repealed as part of HR 2117 (above).
A yes vote backed a new rule for handling student complaints.
Voting yes: Visclosky, Carson
Voting no: Donnelly, Stutzman, Rokita, Burton, Pence, Bucshon, Young
Voting yes: Yarmuth, Chandler
Voting no: Whitfield, Guthrie, Davis, Rogers
Voting yes: Rush, Lipinski, Gutierrez, Quigley, Schakowsky
Voting no: Roskam, Walsh, Dold, Kinzinger, Costello, Biggert, Hultgren, Johnson, Manzullo, Schilling, Schock, Shimkus

CALIFORNIA WATER DISPUTE: Voting 246 for and 175 against, the House on Feb. 29 sent the Senate a bill (HR 1837) that would override or weaken existing California and federal laws and compacts for allocating San Joaquin River water in the Central Valley and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. The bill directs more water to agricultural users in the Central Valley and less to the benefit of farming in the delta and fishing, environmental and recreational interests in other parts of California and in Oregon. The bill overrides the federal Central Valley Project Improvement Act and undercuts the San Joaquin River Settlement, a pact between environmentalists and farmers aimed at boosting salmon populations in California and Oregon. The bill extends the duration of irrigation contracts from 25 to 40 years and reinstates a 1994 agreement, the Bay-Delta Accord, which environmentalists and salmon-fishing interests have since turned against.
A yes vote was to pass the bill.

CONTRACEPTION, RELIGION, HEALTH CARE: Voting 51 for and 48 against, the Senate on March 1 tabled (killed) an amendment enabling employers and insurance firms to refuse to insure any medical procedure, item or device that conflicts with their "religious beliefs and moral convictions." Although debate focused on contraceptive care and women's health, both sides agreed the amendment was broad enough to allow denials for any type of care, including preventive services, specified as Essential Health Benefits in the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Starting in 2014, those benefits must be covered by Medicaid and by policies sold in the state insurance exchanges that form the core of the 2010 health law.
The administration has exempted religious institutions from having to offer services such as contraceptive care that conflict with tenets of their faith. Instead, insurance companies for these institutions must provide and pay for theologically objectionable services. The administration says there will be no cost to insurers because by covering preventive care, they will save money in the long run. This amendment, which was offered to a pending transportation bill (S 1813), went one step further by providing any employer or insurance firm the same opt-out privilege the administration has granted to religious institutions.
A yes vote was to kill an amendment sponsored by Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo.

Carlo Ancelotti claimed
Goals from Anelka, his fifth in
After a disappointing goalless first half, Chelsea increased the tempo and within four minutes of the re-start Anelka had put the Blues ahead. It was his 10th of the season in all competitions and Ancelotti was quick to hail the former
"All the players played a good game," said Ancelotti. "We had more difficulty in the first half, but we played better in the second. Anelka was the key to opening up the game. He scored a fantastic goal - the most important this evening.
"I think he is happy at this moment. He's the same compared to last year and the same Anelka I found when I came here, nothing has changed," said Ancelotti. "He has experience. He maintains very good skill, ability, and speed. Overall he is in the best moment of his career."
Ancelotti insists Chelsea will end up UEFA Champions League winners if they succeed in achieving his 'three steps to heaven'. The victory over the Russians, their fourth straight success in
"There will be a long race getting to the final," added Ancelotti. "When you reach the first aim, which is to win the group, the next aim is to reach the final, and then to win that. I don't know if we can do this, but we have a possibility. We have the motivation to do this, but sometimes you have to be lucky also."

I was tidying up some code I wrote a long time ago, putting it into methods and the like, when I tried this to get an input string and LPCWSTR from an input prompt for a directory search.
void GetInfo(string &stdStr, LPCWSTR &wStr)
cout << endl << "Enter String: ";
getline(cin, stdStr);
string sTempP = stdStr;
#ifdef UNICODE
std::wstring wTemp = s2ws(stdStr);
wStr = wTemp.c_str();
wStr = stdStr.c_str();
stdStr = sTempP;
And when I call
string directoryName;
LPCWSTR directory_Name;
GetInfo(directoryName, directory_Name);
the std string works fine but the LPCWSTR gives me garbage. They both work fine inside of the method, so I was wondering how come passing this string by reference works oddly?
Oh, and I tried writing a function that converts a std::string to a LPCWSTR and assigning the variable to that but that was also weird. The code works fine if defined in the main body, it's only when inside a function that I get problems.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says Lukas Podolski will be out injured for three weeks. The German injured his left hamstring and was carried off on a stretcher during Arsenal's 2-0 victory over Fenerbahce in the Champions League on Tuesday. Podolski will also miss Germany's World Cup qualifiers at the start of next month against Austria and the Faroe Islands. "We paid a heavy price on the injury front because we lost Podolski," manager Arsene Wenger said after victory that secured his side's place in the group stage for the 16th successive season. "Podolski's definitely out for 21 days." The Associated Press was used in this report.

Afghanistan Myths
What Congress and the media think that isn't so.
Nov 23, 2009, Vol. 15, No. 10 • By TOM COTTON
This dynamic played out in Iraq. When added troops and improved security there, we also pursued corrupt officials, whether to prosecute them or to pressure them with the threat of prosecution to improve their performance. In Afghanistan, which today depends more heavily on the coalition for security and funding than did Iraq, we have even more leverage to root out corruption and promote competent, honest government.
Specific reforms can also help. For example, the president appoints provincial and district governors, which makes many unresponsive to their constituents. Political reform to allow for local elections will tie the government more closely to the people and tribal leadership. This kind of ground-up reform succeeded in Iraq and can succeed in Afghanistan.
We should not put troops in harm's way without thorough debate. True, but we already have 68,000 troops very much in harm's way, and they urgently need reinforcements. The continuing delay demoralizes those soldiers and puts them at greater risk. Also, our allies among the Afghan people and government and in the Pakistani government are wondering if America is truly committed to victory. According to General McChrystal, the security situation is deteriorating and may be irreversible unless we can seize the initiative in the next year--and he made that assessment in August. To put it bluntly, we are not winning in Afghanistan, and without more troops we will lose.
Practically, too, the military needs to begin preparing for this deployment now. Afghanistan's extreme terrain and weather, along with its rudimentary infrastructure, mean the deployment will take many months. Likewise, the military's Spartan bases need significant expansion to accommodate new troops.
The military will break if we send more troops to Afghanistan. This fear, heard often about Iraq in 2004-06, is no truer now than it was then. At the 2007 peak, the United States had 200,000 troops deployed to Iraq (170,000) and Afghanistan (30,000). Currently, there are 110,000 troops in Iraq and 68,000 in Afghanistan, well below that peak. And 60,000 troops are expected to leave Iraq by next August as more troops flow into Afghanistan. Thus, overall deployed troop levels in 2010 will remain the same or fall.
The Army has also grown to accommodate repeated deployments. It expanded over the last two years from 512,000 to 547,000 soldiers and now plans to add another 22,000 troops by 2012. Further, it just exceeded its annual recruitment and retention goals, hardly the stuff of a broken Army.
To be sure, our military needs to grow in both size and funding to reflect wartime priorities and alleviate the stress of repeated deployments. But the quickest way to break the military is to lose a war.
In a country where firsthand knowledge of Afghanistan and its people is scarce, it is understandable that these myths have gained currency. But they are just that--myths--and should not be allowed to paralyze our war effort when victory is eminently achievable.
Tom Cotton was an Army infantry officer from 2005-09. He returned from Afghanistan in July.

What tires did a '78 R100 roll out of the factory on?

One of the tire makers, Dunlop I believe, says if you run a tube in a tubeless tire to select the next speed range up than spec so that would support running V rated tires instead of H. ( V sustained speeds 149+ mph, H sustained 130 mph )Does it make a difference in safety, not likely. My R100 is breathing hard at 110 mph and all done at about 115 and I rarely do that so I am comfortable ignoring the need to upgrade the speed rating.
I ran Spitfire S11's for 30,000 miles, getting about 10,000 miles out of a rear and replacing them as a set though the front had more life in it. They are a fine choice for an airhead offering long wear with good grip. The center of the front tire has a groove that sometimes hunted on grooved pavement or on paint stripes but the forks and frames of these things are rather noodley to start with so wasn't a problem for me. The rear will wear kind of squared off too but again it wasn't a problem for me. This last go around I wanted to try something different so I choose Bridgestone BT45's. I think I had to get a V rated front in my chosen size of 100/90-19. The rear is 110/90. I like the 45's very much, the bike feels better on the side of the tire and it seems to turn in quicker. Hard to tell though, could just be the new tire feel though I now have 3000 miles on them. Lots of miles to go.

Steam support SUCKS!!!!

Re: Steam support SUCKS!!!!
No I understand. Visa has been amazing to me when someone stole my card information and used it. I got money back virtually instantly. However, that was when someone stole my card. I didn't willingly use it and then lost access to games because I broke a rule.
In my view, it would be like parking in a no park zone, getting your car towed, and then complaining when your car is towed. If you break the rule, you lose access. I guess if Visa doesn't investigate the matter further, it's good for the customer, even if a little dishonest. I always pay with paypal though... no need to continuously throw my CC number out on to the internets...

World explorer and founding partner @Golden Gate Ventures. My motivation is Southeast Asia's startup scene.
World explorer and founding partner @Golden Gate Ventures. My motivation is Southeast Asia's startup scene.
My strengths are in product development and product marketing. I'm a community builder on-line & off. I tend to be very hands on with mentoring and advising. I have a strong network in silicon valley and southeast asia.
We built Lefora from the ground up with the idea that forums should be easy to create with features that foster community building. I had my hand in many hats, including: fundraising, product spec, marketing, PR, social media, Search Engine Optimization (generating 30% of all traffic), & sophisticated email retainment campaigns accounting for 15% of traffic.
I also had the fortune to take time off to spend one year travelling around Asia, immersing myself in new cultures. I spent 10 days driving an auto-rickshaw (tuk tuk) over 1,000km across India. I ventured 4,014km high to to tallest city in the world - Litang, China. I rocked out to Beijing underground hip hop, scooted around the island of Taiwan, and explored the jungles of Borneo and Laos! I was invited to personally join the Sultan of Yogakarta, Indonesia for a New Year's festival. I took a 10 day vow of silence to learn Vipassana meditation, and spent 2 weeks living at a buddhist monastery, studying Kung Fu under Shaolin monks.
Vinnie is the bomb.
Knows the ins and outs of creating a successful web biz, having done it with Lefora and coaching others (myself included) in the effort. Excellent strategist, mentor, online marketer, and all around dude.
I'm psyched by what he's doing with GG Ventures and excited to see the strong caliber of talented companies he's shepherding.
Vinnie is fantastic. He has been a sounding board and trusted advisor for several years. His calm disposition and his genuine care helped both me and my startup on many occasions.
If you need someone to teach you how to get something for something other than money, Vinnie is that guy. Oh, and he's super connected and Golden Gate Ventures is a hit on AngelList.
Vinnie is a good friend and is a super-connected investor with deep ties in the Bay Area and Asia. You couldn't find a friendlier and more straight-forward guy to work with.
He took a time, but reply with clarity, Awesome.
I love great teams! Tell me why you're together and what about your background that makes you unique. I'm looking in Southeast Asian markets, that's where I can be most valuable right now. The best time to talk to me is after a launched product (stealth is fine).

Notes from the Polyglots meeting at WordCamp Europe
Hey everyone,
Here are my (slightly) structured notes from the Polyglots and GlotPress meeting at WordCamp Europe Contributor day on September 29th.
If you were there, please feel free to add to the notes if you feel I missed something important.
Roadmap for GlotPress
- GlotPress is not even at 1.0 – Doesn't have caching, doesn't have translation memory. Who's gonna work on it?
- Scaling
- Data Schema, different one – Nacin and Nikolay are going to work on that
- Next step: Include Themes and Plugins in GlotPress
- Be prepared for hundreds of new validators
- Find a way to fight spam and security issues
Promised: Marko will ship profiles for GlotPress before WCSF
Scaling the community
A lot of languages don't have an active validator – we need to change that
Average number of strings:
- Themes – 200-300 strings
- Plugins – 150-200 strings
- Core – 4000 strings
- BuddyPress – 1400 strings
Next step for Polyglots and i18n: Plugins & Themes
There needs to be a way for readmes to be translated.
There's a lot of potential to get WordPress to 90 different languages.
We need to find developers to help with translations who are not heavily involved with core.
How do we put all the plugins on GlotPress (translate.wordpress.org)?
30 000 plugins that need to be translated
Rosetta sites will have their own theme and plugin directories with all translated plugins and themes
need a search that will work across languages. Search for plugins and themes should target both the translated language and English.
We start with 25 plugins
We need a mechanism to block spammers better. For forums, for local sites.
Global Communities
- agreed that each global communit should have their own P2
- there will be functionality to approve comments as approve/delete/move to forum
- @siobhan to get in touch with Jetpack ppl about subscribing to tag
- global.wordpress.org
- should have lists of validators. Lists of validators should also be on local sites.
Promised: Remkus is doing the forum theme for BB Press for the local sites/forums
We need to make it easier for validators to work
Redesigning GlotPress, improving the tools
Security concerns with strings
Possible decision: Two tears of validators. Trusted validators for the core project and some of the other main projects.
Other validators for all of the plugins etc.
Polyglots team leads
The current goal is to split the role of Polyglots lead in two:
Technical role/team
Community role/team – pushing validators, pushing people, finding validators, pinging validators, giving validator rights, helping validators and translators get started. The goal is to have a team of community ppl from at least three different parts of the world.
Sam will document the specific tasks of the role of Community Lead for Polyglots and also the technical lead
Selection process
- Select people from the existing validators and community
- Select people who we know are responsible and will get the job done
- Give them a long term role and back them up with others

As I understand, there are no (active) validators for Lithuanian at the moment. I would like to be one.
How do the translations of the GlotPress web interface itself (i.e., those at https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/glotpress/dev) get implemented?

I found that wrong "Untranslated" count is displayed for "Swiss German (Formal)" in GlotPress.
Anyone can recount this (like forum)?

As there are currently three separate discussions regarding GlotPress enhancements I'll post this here as it probably should have been posted already.

Secretmapper will post updates to http://blog.glotpress.org/
Now is probably be a great time to get more involved and help shape the direction of GlotPress

Something that would really help the English variants is to have a feature that can copy all of the original strings for untranslated as the translated string, and leaves them as Waiting status.
Being able to check and bulk accept these strings (fixing variations where necessary) would be considerably quicker than going through each string one by one to click on Copy original and accepting.
~95%+ of strings are going to be identical anyway between US English and British, Canadian and Australian etc. English, so I think it's sensible to go with the assumption that strings match, and change where necessary, than assume the US English is going to be wrong (as with all other non-English variant languages).

One glossary to rule them all
First of all, thanks for glossary. It's a life saving functionality.
I'm currently validating lots of project and trying to maintain order between them. Glossary is a very helpful tool to accomplish this but it's project specific. Is there a way to use a common glossary for selected projects or for all of them?
Please don't say import/export. It's not functional when you try to keep all glossaries from all projects updated. For example when translating or validating a project, you see a term which needs to be put in glossary. You can't add it to just that project if it's a very general term. You have to put it to all glossaries. Yoı choose a projects glossary as primary glossary and update it, export it and import it every project you're validating.
Possible solutions;
- A single glossary for all projects
- Import functionality betweeen glossaries
- Inheritance (When you create a glossary you choose a parent and with this it contains all the terms of parent glossary)
TL;DR -> title ^ ^

Is it possible to make GlotPress dashboard a little bit more useful? Like showing active projects and their statuses to validator like this: http://imgur.com/Bh2Kg1x
It's hard to track all the projects. I have to check every project to see if there is new or waiting translations. Just WordPress Core has 6 active projects (3 themes, WordPress, Administration and Network). There is mobile projects, plugins etc. It'll be a handy feature if implemented.

Version 3.9-fr_FR shipped with a set a bad strings (slippery fingers, honest mistake, but still). I compiled a new archive with the corrected strings, but how can I make sure the translation files are getting pushed to users who have already upgraded to 3.9?

Noticed a bug (?) while editing translation of BuddyPress here https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/buddypress/dev/ru/default
Not all untranslated strings are showed. How did I found that:
1) went through all untranslated strings,
2) exported the po file of everything ru_RU
3) opened in Poedit and noticed that some strings appeared to be untranslated, although they are not listed under Untranslated filter in GlotPress.
4) translated them in Poedit and imported into GlotPress
5) got the message that 16 new strings were translated.
So in general – untranslated strings were not showing under Untranslated filter in Glotpress.

Following the recent articles in the press, the administrators would like to clarify the position regarding statutory and contractual redundancy. To claim redundancy pay an employee must have worked at the company for a minimum of two complete years. Redundancy pay is based on age and length of service and is paid at the weekly rate of pay or the statutory maximum (currently £400), whichever is the lower. Many employees have contractual claims over and above the statutory limits. These will rank as unsecured claims against the estate. We have committed to retaining around half of MF Global's people beyond the end of November and indeed it is likely that many people will be working for many months or even years beyond that time.

Ban Ki-moon (Hangul: 반기문; Hanja: 潘基文; born 13 June 1944) is the eighth and current Secretary-General of the United Nations, after succeeding Kofi Annan in 2007. Before going on to be Secretary-General, Ban was a career diplomat in South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and in the United Nations. He entered diplomatic service the year he graduated from university, accepting his first post in New Delhi, India. In the foreign ministry he established a reputation for modesty and competence .
Ban was the Foreign Minister of the Republic of Korea from January 2004 to November 2006. In February 2006, he began to campaign for the office of Secretary-General. Ban was initially considered to be a long shot for the office. As foreign minister of South Korea, however, he was able to travel to all of the countries that were members of the United Nations Security Council, a maneuver that turned him into the front runner.
On 11 October 2006, he was elected to be the eighth Secretary-General by the United Nations General Assembly and officially succeeded Annan on 1 January 2007. Ban has led several major reforms regarding peacekeeping and UN employment practices. Diplomatically, Ban has taken particularly strong views on Darfur, where he helped persuade Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir to allow peacekeeping troops to enter Sudan; and on global warming, pressing the issue repeatedly with former U.S. President George W. Bush. Ban has received strong criticism from OIOS, the UN internal audit unit, stating that the secretariat, under Ban's leadership, is "drifting into irrelevance".

DIY Push Button Start
Everyone envies the person with the push button start. Perhaps it's that cool cat with the S2000 or the fuel miser with the hybrid, but they envy is still there. With this write up I intend to show everyone how easy it is to add this to your own vehicle. This was done using CRX wiring, but with a simple check of wiring this can be duplicated for almost any vehicle. If you do this don't forget to send me a picture of you setup!
Purpose: There's the bling factor of having a push button start (especially if you use the s2000 "engine start" button, the anti-theft factor if you wish to hide the button, and the convenience factor of having the button near the shifter if you are using it during engine off coasting.
Time: 1 hour
- Soldering Iron
- Wire Stripper/Crimper
- Screw Driver
- 1 SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) Relay – 3.99 at my parts store
- Some female quick connect ends – 2.99 at the parts store
- Wire
- Solder
- The button!
Check out this schematic and look at your SPDT relay, pretty simple. Figure out which wires are which and wire the stuff up. I labeled this with the colors that are actually used in my CRX. This write up is applicable to almost any car, but you'll need to figure out which wires are which if you want to do this to another car. Pretty simple. Most people use the S2000 start button, but you can use any button that is normally open and only connects when pressed.
And here's a picture of the S2000 button, just for reference:
Wire the stuff in there not too prettily just to make sure it works. Here's mine half done:
Another shot with indications and all that on it.
Get your button and figure out how to mount it. I am going the way of small button skirted by washer and then mounted in my cigarette lighter hole. Here's the washer pre mounting and painting. I hot glued and burnt myself quite a bit, be careful.
I put this little cone over the button to paint the washer.
Painted shots, looks decent to me:
Wrap your crippled, burning hand in wet stuff:
Mount up the button itself into the center console part.
Finished the install with the new button, check it out:
Here's a final shot having actually put the interior back in my car:
I'm very happy with it, piece of cake, as well.

Jay Cutler and the Chicago Bears look ready to start the season. The Oakland Raiders look ready for a quarterback controversy. Cutler led five first-half scoring drives, Matt Forte gained 109 yards from scrimmage and the Bears beat the Raiders 34-26 Friday night in the final big dress rehearsal for the regular season. ''It was a good outing for everybody, but it is preseason,'' Cutler said. ''You can't get caught up in that. I don't think we can get too high on this game. We made some mistakes and we need to go back and look at them. But it's a good barometer of where we're at and where we can go.'' Cutler and Forte connected on a 32-yard touchdown pass, former Raiders running back Michael Bush added a pair of touchdown runs and Alshon Jeffery caught seven passes for 77 yards as the Bears (2-1) broke out to a 27-0 lead in the first half. This was likely the last full test for Chicago's first-team offense before the season as the top stars will play sparingly - if at all - in the...

You could use this Range Rover all day - all year probably - and think it's a mighty impressive luxury saloon. That's certainly where I stood after a morning spent along streets and motorways and back roads. It had been all the things a limo needed to be: quiet, unruffled, smooth-riding, furnished with aching beauty and care. And it had also been perfectly complicit when I decided to get along at some mildly naughty speed or another. Point of fact some of its brand-new bits - a 510bhp supercharged V8 and adaptive dampers - made it more complicit than ever.
But then I drove up a cliff. This wasn't some unplanned slithering off the road and up the embankment. I mean I turned up a track and into some wilderness, then drove several hundred yards up a rock face too steep to walk on except on all fours. The view out of the windscreen was all sky. The crazy angles had the contents of our pockets cascading across the cabin. From the top we descended a dry riverbed of similar terrifying steepness, and crossed a field of boulders as big as my head. All this still dressed in the urban-streetwear 20-inch wheels and lo-pro tyres.
Once you've done that and you go back on the road, the Range Rover's abilities as a luxo-saloon are put into perspective. It's not just mighty impressive. It's borderline miraculous.
We already had Land Rover design overlord Gerry McGovern go through the design changes (TG191), but in sum their main aim is not so much to titivate the Range Rover in itself but to introduce a hierarchy across the range. As a f'rinstance, the indicators consist of a stack of three horizontal bars. In the Range Rover Sport, it's two bars. The Discovery meanwhile has to advertise its blue-collarness by carrying just the single bar. Oh God how wearisome. It's like fagging at Eton: I thought Britain was supposed to have got over this sort of thing.Never mind, a Range Rover is still a wonderful piece of design. Tall and remarkably elegant, it's largely without the pushy arrogance of its rivals. And the terrific cabin continues to evolve. For this year the switchgear has been tidied up again, and it says a lot that the least premium-feeling bit is the light switch, which of course is a BMW item left over from two owners ago.
The centrepiece of the cabin redesign, though - the bit the architects on a Kevin McCloud programme would call the 'wow factor' - is a pair of big flat-screens. One, a 12-incher, makes up the entire instrument cluster. Yup, even the rev-counter and speedo are virtual items. (When you first climb in, all you see is a plank of virtual wood that continues the line of the main fascia strip.) This allows ad-hoc clock arrangements, so that when you're in one of the off-road terrain response modes the car assumes you don't need a speedo that reads to 160mph, so that dial glides off to the right to give more space in the middle of the screen for the status graphics for the chassis and 4WD hardware.
Besides that, the mid-fascia screen has a voodoo dual-view function. If you look at it from the driver's side it shows navigation or audio, but viewed from the passenger angle it'll show the telly or a DVD movie. Simultaneously. It works utterly seamlessly: no ghosting, no strange colour shifts. I can imagine lone drivers going along in traffic, hands on the wheel but body craning off into the passenger side, eyes glued to the closing stages of the cricket. Some inventive lies are going to be told on the resulting insurance claim forms.
The terrific V8 diesel stays on this year, and it's the one people will buy. But just so's you know, the petrol engine is the direct-injected 'charger V8 from the fastest Jags. And, oh my, it's a peach: sweet and torquey and urgent. The old supercharged RR was quickish but felt like it was working hard. The new one is fast rather than quick, yet it never breaks sweat.
Meanwhile the suspension now has electronic adaptive damping, to add to the existing variable-height air springs and variable stiffness anti-roll. Result is a breathtaking three-way compromise: ride comfort that even most 80-grand saloons can't match, plus staggering off-road ability, plus perfectly decent behaviour down twisting undulating tarmac. Given all that urge and the decent body control, you soon build up to a seriously improbable rate of knots. Then all at once the cavalry arrives - in the form of reason, two-and-three-quarters tonnes of physics, and drastic ESP intervention - to remind you this is a tall land-yacht. Thus chastened you back off, but only a bit because only a bit is necessary. The Range Rover can be swift, but it isn't trying to be sporty.
A Range Rover is about effortlessness. And the new one is the more so. Its design and refinement mean in normal conditions it's a lovely place to be. But when you use it to take you through extraordinary conditions, you find it's a remarkable bonding experience.
