10th Annual Gianneschi Summer School for Nonprofits
Special $150 Early-Bird Pricing Available through July 20th
The Gianneschi Summer School for Nonprofit Research will host the 10th Annual Summer School for Nonprofits from August 10th through August 13th at the Steven G. Mihaylo College of Business and Economics on the California State University, Fullerton campus.
Outstanding Master Class Session Instructors from the academic and nonprofit sectors and attendees will actively engage in deep learning about the subjects most critical to the nonprofit sector today. We will be offering 3 learning tracks Monday-Wednesday: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced allowing you to attend the track which best suits your needs. We will host two general keynote speakers Monday and Tuesday mornings of the Summer School for all paid attendees.
This year we are offering "per-seat" pricing to organizations wishing to send 2 or more people to a learning track (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced). The organization may then send one employee or volunteer to each session in that track to use that seat. This allows organizations to be able to send accounting personnel to an accounting class, HR personnel to an HR class, etc.
In addition, we will host a half-day Federal Grants Seminar presented by U.S. Congressman Royce's office on Wednesday afternoon and an all-day Tax Seminar for NPOs presented by the North Orange County Nonprofit Seminar for Establishing and Running Nonprofit and Exempt Organizations on Thursday. These seminars are offered at no charge; however, registration is required.

Warriors Looking To Go Back-To-Back
Story By: Jeff Alan
Originally Published on: 5/3/2013
After a 10-2 win in conference play over Wynford this week, the Ontario baseball team remains undefeated in NCC play at 7-0 and 16-1 in all games. Mitch McCrystall struck out ten Royals in the win with the Warriors pounding out ten hits. With the regular season coming to a close, Ontario has a good shot at winning back-to-back NCC championships. Something that is not lost on the seniors with this being the final season that the Warriors compete in the NCC as they move to the NOL next fall.
Ontario has five conference games remaining with Riverdale, Crestline, Lucas and two games with Galion before the conference title is decided. The team also has two non-league contests with Lexington and Clear Fork remaining. The tournament draw also comes up on Sunday. Last year, Ontario finished the regular season undefeated and were A.P. Poll champions, only to see their post season end sooner than thought with a 9-4 to Edison at Tiffin in the D-III district semifinal.
The loss early in last season's tournament, though it is not talked about that much has been used as a motivating factor by several upper classmen. As coach Dan Gorbett has pointed out, everybody is undefeated once tournament begins and it's only a best of one, so you always have to be at your best, or at least better than your opposition.

Recent Ocean Grove reviews
"Our family of six plus a friend stayed over New Year's and had a lovely time. We had plenty of room for playing indoors and out (since our kids love the playground down the street), baking in the spacious kitchen, and chatting in the evenings. The home was easy to manage and a pleasure to stay in; the owner is very responsive and particularly thoughtful. We hope to return in the future!"Guest: Rose M. and family Date of Stay: December 2014 Review Submitted: January 21, 2015View listing
"We stayed in the Chadwick Cottage for a week this winter and absolutely loved it! The house is beautiful and the location is great for walking to tons of different restaurants, shops, and the beach. It was the perfect, relaxing place to stay with room for extended family to visit. I can't wait to plan another trip! And the owner is very helpful and accessible."Guest: Susan Date of Stay: December 2014 Review Submitted: January 3, 2015View listing
"Our family group of 13 (ages 1 to 75) had a great time in this comfortable, clean, and compact house. The location truly cannot be beat. We went for almost an entire week without using cars, and the 4 and 5 year olds in our group could easily walk to and from the beach (and to ice cream, coffee shops, and a small grocery/convenience store). Ocean Grove is a charming town and the beaches are clean and well guarded. While the house is "compact" the three levels plus two large porches meant that we never felt like we were on top of each other or cramped. The house contained almost everything we needed (except a high chair and portacrib that we brought for the smallest) and this made our stay quite easy and relaxing. It stayed cool on a humid/muggy day and night (with A/C and fans); the kitchen was very well appointed with the gear we needed to cook communal meals from scratch; two large tables - one in the kitchen, the second in the front room - provided ample room for us all to sit together to eat as well. The amenities (bathrooms, kitchen appliances, w/d) were all in good working order and on the "new" side. Most impressively, all of the advertised beach gear - beach towels, umbrellas, chairs, toys, tags - was there and in excellent condition. The good weather meant that we did not nee to delve deeply into the enormous DVD collection but we could have happily passed rainy/bad weather days in the basement media room. Two of the bedrooms are capacious, the other three are smaller (though not cramped). The basement bedroom with a twin bed provided a useful retreat for the teenager; the bedroom with four bunks and a double bed good for the smaller kids and parents. I think the only thing we thought was missing were some reading lights! But in an age of the Kindle, this was a truly minor thing. ON that note, the house does not (this year, 2014) have WiFi, which some in our party (the teenager in particular) initially found frustrating. But by the end of the week, the enforced "respite" from the screens and the many pleasures of being together that this nice house offered to us had turned into a very good thing! We had a great time."Guest: Courtney Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: September 6, 2014View listing

The Scotty Rod Holder Extender 259 will increase your odds for catching that fish of a lifetime by allowing easier access to your rod and reel. The Scotty Rod Holder Extender extends the height of your Scotty Rod Holder by 6.5 inches, allowing you to get your rod and reel our of the rod holder easier when that fish strikes.
|Item #:
|Part Number
Extender is awesome. Gives me the extra height I need to clear the Mirage Drive pedals on my Hobie Adventure with the rod in place.
wish I hadn't bought it. It fits sloppy, wobbles way to much. I tried it in all 3 Scotty bases on my yak. Same result. Surprised Scotty doesn't revise the design. I should have followed the other reviews warning of this. It is junk. zero stars.
Works perfectly with the Scotty Power Lock. If you are looking to get your rod off the deck for paddle clearance, you can't go wrong.
I use this and the mini extender 254M to put the rod holder higher when mounted on the Rod Pod on my Predator 13. Scotty products have never failed me... good stuff!

Holy cow, I wrote a book!
I've ranted before about privacy policies and how they don't
actually protect your privacy. (All they're required to do is
disclose the policy; there is no requirement that the policy must
be any good.)
Today I read
MetLife's privacy policy and found to my surprise
that it does not actively offend me.
It's written in plain English,
it's well-organized,
and it actually explains and limits the scope of
each exception.
I have noticed
how the word "terrorism" has turned into a "magic word" of late.
Anything distasteful you want to do, just say you're doing it
to combat "terrorism" and people will give you the green light.
Something is wrong with the world when fark finds something "real" news organizations miss. (When I first learned about fark, I confused it with FARC, a different organization entirely. That's right, a terrorist organization has its own official web site. Gotta love the Internet.)
Anyway, fark has pointed out that the guy that Pakistani forces claim today to have surrounded along the border with Afghanistan, Ayman al-Zawahiri, was already reported to have been captured two years ago by The Grauniad. They never printed a correction (as far as I can tell) so I guess he cloned himself.
This is another leftover from 16-bit Windows.
Back in the Win16 days, string resources were also grouped
into bundles of 16, but the strings were in ANSI, not Unicode,
and the prefix was only an 8-bit value.
And 255 is the largest length you can encode in an 8-bit value.
If your 32-bit DLL contains strings longer than 255 characters,
then 16-bit programs would be unable to read those strings.
It appears to be gone now. Good riddance.
So it happens that Opening Day of the baseball season
coincides with Good Friday,
a day of "fasting and abstinence" according to Catholic tradition.
(Then again, after Vatican II, the definition of "fasting and
abstinence" weakened significantly. All that most people remember
any more is "no meat".)
Catholics in Boston have applied to the archdiocese for a
special dispensation so they can have a hot dog at the game.
The Church said
"Nice try".
But at least you can still order a beer.
For the first time, a team of women is challenged to develop a car,
and the car they come up with requires an oil change only every
50,000 kilometers and doesn't even have a hood, so you can't
poke around the engine.
To me, a car has no user-serviceable parts inside. The only
times I have opened the hood is when somebody else said,
"Hey, let me take a look at the engine of your car."
(I have a
Toyota Prius.)
On my previous car, the only time I opened the hood was to
check the oil.
Sometimes the open-source folks ask, "Would you buy a car whose hood
can't be opened?" It looks like that a lot of people (including
me) would respond, "Yes."
If you go to the various internet protocol documents, such as
or RFC 2616 (HTTP),
you'll see that they all specify CR+LF as the line termination
So the the real question is not "Why do CP/M, MS-DOS, and Win32 use CR+LF
as the line terminator?" but rather "Why did other people
choose to differ from these standards documents and use some other
line terminator?"
Unix adopted plain LF as the line termination sequence.
If you look at
the stty options,
you'll see that the onlcr option specifies whether
a LF should be changed into CR+LF.
If you get this setting wrong, you get stairstep text,
The unix ancestry of the C language carried this convention
into the C language standard, which requires only "\n" (which
encodes LF) to
terminate lines, putting the burden on the runtime libraries
to convert raw file data into logical lines.
The C language also introduced the term "newline" to express
the concept of "generic line terminator". I'm told that the ASCII
committee changed the name of character 0x0A to "newline" around 1996,
so the confusion level has been raised even higher.
Here's another discussion of the subject,
from a unix perspective.
Chris Brumme's latest treatise contained the sentence "Servers must not page". That's because on a server, paging = death.
I had occasion to meet somebody from another division who told me this little story: They had a server that went into thrashing death every 10 hours, like clockwork, and had to be rebooted. To mask the problem, the server was converted to a cluster, so what really happened was that the machines in the cluster took turns being rebooted. The clients never noticed anything, but the server administrators were really frustrated. ("Hey Clancy, looks like number 2 needs to be rebooted. She's sucking mud.")
[Link repaired, 8am.]
The reason for the server's death? Paging.
There was a four-bytes-per-request memory leak in one of the programs running on the server. Eventually, all the leakage filled available RAM and the server was forced to page. Paging means slower response, but of course the requests for service kept coming in at the normal rate. So the longer you take to turn a request around, the more requests pile up, and then it takes even longer to turn around the new requests, so even more pile up, and so on. The problem snowballed until the machine just plain keeled over.
After much searching, the leak was identified and plugged. Now the servers chug along without a hitch.
(And since the reason for the cluster was to cover for the constant crashes, I suspect they reduced the size of the cluster and saved a lot of money.)
Josh Williams picks up the 64-bit ball with an
even deeper discussion of the AMD64 (aka x64) calling convention
and things that go wrong when you misdeclare your function prototypes.
Actually, text files don't need to end in Ctrl+Z,
but the convention persists in certain circles.
(Though, fortunately, those circles are awfully small nowadays.)
This story requires us to go back to CP/M, the operating system
that MS-DOS envisioned itself as a successor to.
the 8086 envisioned itself as the successor to the 8080,
it was natural that the operating
system for the 8086 would view itself as the successor to the
primary operating system on the 8080.)
In CP/M, files were stored in "sectors" of 128 bytes each.
If your file was 64 byte long, it was stored in a full sector.
The kicker was that the operating system tracked the size of the
file as the number of sectors.
So if your file was not an exact multiple of 128 bytes in size,
you needed some way to specify where the "real" end-of-file was.
That's where Ctrl+Z came in.
By convention, the unused bytes at the end of the last sector
were padded with Ctrl+Z characters.
According to this convention, if you had a program that read
from a file, it should stop when it reads a Ctrl+Z, since that
meant that it was now reading the padding.
To retain compatibility with CP/M, MS-DOS carried forward
the Ctrl+Z convention. That way, when you transferred your
files from your old CP/M machine to your new PC, they wouldn't
have garbage at the end.
I want to say up front that I think CAPTCHA is a stupid name. CAPTCHA stands for "Computer-Aided Process for Testing..." something something.
Why do people feel the urge the create some strained cutesy acronym for their little invention?
Anyway, it has already been noted how spammers are getting around these tests by harvesting a practically-free resource on the Internet: the desire to see pornography.
Someone designed a software robot that would fill out a registration form and, when confronted with an image processing test, would post it on a free porn site. Visitors to the porn site would be asked to complete the test before they could view more pornography, and the software robot would use their answer to complete the e-mail registration.
Ah, remember the days when you had to whisper the word "pornography"?
Anyway, it looks like the virus-writers have also taken the two-edged sword and pointed it in the other direction. (Ah, another one of Raymond's tortured mixed metaphors.)
As you may be aware, the latest trend in virus-detection-avoidance is to attach an encrypted ZIP file, since virus-checkers don't know how to decrypt them. To get the sucker to activate the payload, you put the password in the message body.
Well, virus checkers figured this out rather quickly and scanned the message body to see if there's a password in the text.
Now the virus-writers have upped the ante. The Bagle-N virus attaches an encrypted ZIP file and provides the password as an image, using the same trick as the anti-robot people.
Fortunately, the image generator they use is pretty easy to do OCR on, since they don't make any attempt to fuzz the images.
I predict the next step will be that the virus-writers send two messages to each victim. The first contains the payload, and the second contains the password. That way the virus-scanning software is completely helpless since the password to decrypt the ZIP file isn't even in the message being scanned!
Once again, just goes to show that social engineering can beat out pretty much any technological security mechanism.
(I think virus scanners are now starting to block any password-protected ZIP. But that won't stop the viruses for long. They'll just have a link to a ZIP file or something.)

Hakeem Olajuwon RumorsAll NBA Players

Born: 01/21/63
Height: 7-0 / 2.13
Weight:255 lbs. / 115.7 kg.
Chandler and Gasol have enjoyed great careers, Brown and Curry not so much. It's a reminder that betting the franchise's future on big men is always risky, with the most infamous example coming in 1984 when Hakeem Olajuwon went No. 1, Sam Bowie went No. 2 and the player widely considered to be the best ever in the game was still on the board. A lesser-known blunder from that draft was that 15 teams passed on John Stockton. "You go back to the Olajuwon-Bowie-Jordan draft," Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said. "In years past and maybe even today it makes sense to build around a big, but you don't want to take a big because it's a big and pass on the No. 3 pick — which turned out to be Michael Jordan." Hence, maybe taking a guard the wiser move "It can be argued in today's game that maybe you should do that," Kupchak said.
13 Apr
As for Hakeem Olajuwon and Shaquille O'Neal and who was tougher to play against? "Size wise Shaq was just a monster. You couldn't move him. From a skills standpoint though, Hakeem had everything. If I'm starting a team that is probably the guy that I would start with."
Mark Berman: Hakeem Olajuwon on Josh Smith:"1st of all I was surprised that he was released(laughs),was a shock.I was very happy he didn't hesitate. He wanted to come to Houston right away. I think he came to the right spot. There's no question on his impact & help for the team. He's really (making)a huge contribution for the success of the team."
A better rule is to count all players not born in the U.S. and who did not attend a U.S. high school. That puts Spain, with 220 WAR, at the top. And the Gasols make up nearly three-quarters of their home country's NBA success. The other top players from Spain include Jose Calderon, Ricky Rubio and Rudy Fernandez, among others. Germany slides to fourth, behind the U.S. Virgin Islands and Nigeria, using this method. Why? Because Detlef Schrempf (and his 90 career WAR) is excluded from this analysis. Schrempf, German-born and raised, moved to the U.S. to finish high school. The Virgin Islands, being a territory, arguably doesn't count as international, but it competes under its own flag so it's broken out here. Tim Duncan is responsible for the bulk of the Virgin Islands' WAR; Hakeem Olajuwon similarly for Nigeria.
Olajuwon actually sat down with the guys from Red Nation and went down memory lane with them. It's a long video, but here's the paraphrased quote from "The Dream" Spurs fans are looking for: " I want to correct everybody, David deserved the MVP. I wasn't having an MVP year that year and David was having a great year. The motivation was knowing we can win but had nothing to do with being mad at losing the MVP to David Robinson."
"I was the first one to work out with Hakeem Olajuwon. But no one would ever know that, because I didn't post a video of him and me working out. I didn't show people how I was working out with Calvin Murphy in Houston early in my career. There was no need for it."
HAKEEM OLAJUWON: He has the potential – the question is how to reach that potential. That's exactly my point, meaning the skills are there, the talent is already there. But the confidence is still mediocre, meaning "I'm already in the NBA and there are great players, but I want to dominate." He has the potential to dominate in his position – so he needs to raise the bar.
NBA: What are your impressions of him? HAKEEM OLAJUWON: I'm not really surprised to see him do well in the NBA – he will do much better with time and confidence. Confidence means a lot. Skills, as with maturity, will come, but that confidence level to express himself without fear — to experiment new moves or things that you are comfortable to do, but in game situation and hold back — that confidence level takes time. First of all it's from coaching or from within. Sometimes the coach will want to limit your ability: "just do this, just do this." But you know you can do much more, but don't do much more, just do what you're asked – so you need to fight to express yourself. Then (you) gain the coaches' trust to be more comfortable, give more responsibility – then you have freedom, when you get to the point of (having) freedom, then the coach (will) trust your judgment, then you can play freely, then you can really excel to the next level.
But sometimes, trash talking can come from the least expected of places. "Believe it or not, Hakeem Olajuwon," Garnett said, laughing at the memory of facing the legendary center in his later years. "Yeah, man. And he played with a mouthpiece."

Olajuwon finished his illustrious 18-year career in 2002 with 26,946 points. Nowitzki, now in his 17th season, has 26,930 points. That's a lot of baskets for a player who couldn't find one that dreadful day in Seattle, and who was basically unheard of before he was chosen out of Germany with the ninth overall pick in the 1998 NBA Draft. "What I like about Dirk is he came in without a lot of expectations, besides [then-Mavs coach Don Nelson] putting the pressure on him to be the Rookie of the Year," Finley said. "But he worked himself up to superstar status. "A lot of these guys come in from college and already are, quote unquote, put in a superstar category without doing anything. Dirk did it the hard way. He worked himself up and now he's one of the best ever to play the game."
"He's older, more mature and you can tell that he is feeling better physically," Olajuwon said. "I like what I saw. He is a very hard worker. He takes the job seriously and you can see that he has used some of the things we talked about last season and is making them part of his game."
At least one former MVP doesn't think it should have taken a broken bone in Kevin Durant's foot to throw the 2015 MVP race wide open. According to Hakeem Olajuwon, Dwight Howard was already prepared to kick the door down. "He's healthy. He's strong. He's ready," said Olajuwon, who won the award in 1994 when he led the Rockets to the first of their back-to-back championships. "Now it's about having the attitude to go out every night and dominate."
Olajuwon said Ferry reached out to NBA Vice President for Development in Africa Amadou Gallo Fall and asked to speak with Olajuwon, but Olajuwon said Ferry need not apologize to him because he does not believe the comments reflected Ferry's way of thinking. "He's been calling all the players to apologize," Olajuwon said. "As you know, it was a surprise that kind of comment is still in mind. Those were not his words. He did not mean it. He was repeating something. I did not know what he meant. I don't know what someone was thinking to say that. But those are not his words. He called Amadou to get my number. I told him, 'There's no need.' I thought about it. He's trying to rebound, to recover."

When the day came for the two giants to be enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, the long, intertwined paths traveled by Hakeem Olajuwon and Patrick Ewing collided once more. It happened in an intersection on a sunny day in September 2008 as they strolled through Springfield, Mass., to the ceremony. Olajuwon trailed Ewing into the crosswalk; one was always chasing the other, forever trying to close the gap. The man they called Dream was awestruck by what he saw. "We were crossing the street and I was walking behind Patrick, and I saw his physique from the back," Olajuwon said. "And I said, 'How did I ever get my shot over this guy?' That just shows you how super imposing Patrick really is. How did I battle this guy?"
Ken Berger: Hall of Famer Hakeem Olajuwon — a native Nigerian — has been named NBA Ambassador to Africa, the league announces.
Jonas Valanciunas will work out with Hakeem Olajuwon this summer. Olajuwon has worked out with many of the game's big men, most notably Amar'e Stoudemire and Dwight Howard. Olajuwon is also credited with improving the mid-post game of Kobe Bryant.

Carfilzomib Achieves 26 Percent Clinical Benefit Response Rate in Phase 2 Trial of Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma Patients - Proteolix Expands Trial
ORLANDO, Fla. and SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., June 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Proteolix, Inc. today presented results from the company's most advanced clinical trial of single-agent carfilzomib demonstrating anti-cancer activity and progression-free survival in patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. Carfilzomib is the first in a new class of selective, irreversible proteasome inhibitors being developed by Proteolix for the treatment of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors.
Data from the Phase 2 clinical trial of relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma patients were presented today in an oral session by Sundar Jagannath, M.D., Chief of the Multiple Myeloma Program, Bone Marrow and Blood Stem Cell Transplantation at St. Vincent's Comprehensive Cancer Center in New York, at the 2009 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). In addition, Proteolix presented positive data today from an ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial of single-agent carfilzomib in relapsed multiple myeloma patients and from a Phase 1b clinical trial of carfilzomib in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone during the "Lymphoma and Plasma Cell Disorders" poster session.
"In spite of advances in the treatment of multiple myeloma, new selective agents are needed for patients who have failed other available therapies," said Dr. Jagannath. "Carfilzomib is well tolerated and demonstrates clear single-agent activity in a heavily pre-treated multiple myeloma patient population. Patients enrolled in this Phase 2 trial lack treatment alternatives, having failed prior treatment with all approved agents and stem cell transplant."

BWW Profile: Dame Maggie Smith Emmy-Nominated Star of Stage and Screen
In anticipation of the live 66th Annual Emmy Award broadcast on NBC on Monday, August 25th, BWW will be spotlighting the Emmy nominated TV performances of some of Broadway's biggest stars. If you want to follow along and interact with all of BroadwayWorld's Emmy coverage, check out #BWWEmmys on Twitter.
This morning we are taking a look at the illustrious career of Dame Maggie Smith. I mean, she's a Dame after all; Queen Elizabeth doesn't just hand those titles out to anyone. Her resume includes highlights from the stage, including "The Importance of Being Earnest," "Private Lives," and "Lettice and Lovage;" to on film in "Othello," "Clash of the Titans," "Sister Act," "Harry Potter," and "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel;" to her iconic role as Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess of Grantham on "Downton Abbey," for which she is nominated for an Emmy in the fourth-consecutive year.
Dame Maggie has been a pillar of the stage both in London and in "the Colonies;" her exceptional career began at the Oxford Playhouse in England, where she performed in 13 shows from 1952-1955. She then went on to have a decade and a half relationship performing with the National Theatre and the Old Vic. In these two decades, Maggie made a name for herself being able to seamlessly Bounce between newer and classic theatrical works with ease. After making her Broadway debut in a musical revue, "New Faces of 1956" in.... well, 1956, Smith returned to New York in "Private Lives," after touring the country in Noel Coward's classic. For the show, Smith received her first Tony nomination in 1975. She earned another in 1980 for "Night and Day," before finally winning in 1990 for "Lettice and Lovage." Though she famously starred opposite Sir Laurence multiple times, Smith has yet to take home an Olivier for her work in the West End, despite six nominations.
Just six years after beginning her stage career, Smith made her first big screen splash in 1958, earning a BAFTA nomination for "Nowhere to Go." She has over 50 film credits since, which have collectively earned her two Oscars, five BAFTA Awards, and three Golden Globes. Obviously, I cannot adequately represent her film career in one paragraph, so I will just hit the highlights that most American fans might be familiar with. Though it has been slightly marred by Olivier's use of blackface, Smith received her first Oscar nomination as Desdemona in 1965's "Othello." Four years later she took home the trophy for "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie." After two more nominations, she received another Academy Award for her work in 1978's "California Suite." From there she played Thetis in "Clash of the Titans," Charlotte in "A Room with a View," and Wendy Darling to Robin Williams' Peter Pan in "Hook." She of course played the stern Mother Superior in "Sister Act" and its sequel, before earning 20 nominations and eight awards for her role in "Gosford Park" in 2001. In the same year, she began her role as Professor Minerva McGonagall in the Harry Potter series. In 2012, she appeared in "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel," and will reprise her role in next year's sequel. As a nice little piece of trivia, Dame Maggie has appeared in two unrelated films titled "Quartet." She earned a BAFTA nomination for the first in 1981, and a Golden Globe nom in 2012 for the second.

Using the File API added to the DOM in HTML5, it's now possible for web content to ask the user to select local files, then read the contents of those files. This selection can be done by either using an HTML
input element, or by drag and drop.
Selecting files using HTML
Selecting a single file for use with the File API is simple:
<input type="file" id="input" onchange="handleFiles(this.files)" />
When the user selects a file, the
handleFiles() function gets called with a
FileList object containing the
File object representing the file selected by the user.
If you want to let the user select multiple files, simply use the
multiple attribute on the
input element:
<input type="file" id="input" multiple="true" onchange="handleFiles(this.files)" />
In this case, the file list passed to the
handleFiles() function contains one
File object for each file the user selected.
Selecting files using drag and drop
You can also let the user drag and drop files into your web application.
The first step is to establish a drop zone. Exactly what part of your content will accept drops may vary depending on the design of your application, but making an element receive drop events is easy:
var dropbox; dropbox = document.getElementById("dropbox"); dropbox.addEventListener("dragenter", dragenter, false); dropbox.addEventListener("dragover", dragover, false); dropbox.addEventListener("drop", drop, false);
In this example, we're turning the element with the ID "dropbox" into our drop zone. This is done by adding listeners for the
dragover, and
drop events.
We don't actually need to do anything with the
dragenter and
dragover events in our case, so these functions are both simple. They just stop propagation of the event and prevent the default action from occurring:
function dragenter(e) { e.stopPropagation(); e.preventDefault(); } function dragover(e) { e.stopPropagation(); e.preventDefault(); }
The real magic happens in the
drop() function:
function drop(e) { var dt = e.dataTransfer; var files = dt.files; handleFiles(files); e.stopPropagation(); e.preventDefault(); }
Here, we retrieve the
dataTransfer field from the event, then pull the file list out of it, passing that to
handleFiles(). From this point on, handling the files is the same whether the user used the
input element or drag and drop.
Getting information about selected files
FileList object provided by the DOM lists all the files selected by the user, each specified as a
File object. You can determine how many files the user selected by checking the value of the file list's
length attribute:
var numFiles = files.length;
File objects can be retrieved by simply accessing the list as an array:
for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++) { var file = files[i]; .. }
This loop iterates over all the files in the file list.
There are three attributes provided by the
File object that contain useful information about the file.
- The file's name as a read-only string. This is just the file name, and does not include any path information.
- The size of the file in bytes as a read-only 64-bit integer.
- The MIME type of the file as a read-only string, or null if the type couldn't be determined.
Example: Showing thumbnails of user-selected images
Let's say you're developing the next great photo-sharing web site, and want to use HTML5 to display thumbnail previews of images before the user actually uploads them. Simply establish your input element or drop zone as discussed previously, and have them call a function such as the
handleFiles() function below.
function handleFiles(files) { var preview = document.getElementById("preview"); for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++) { var file = files[i]; var imageType = /image.*/; if (!file.type.match(imageType)) { continue; } var img = document.createElement("img"); img.classList.add("obj"); img.src = file.getAsDataURL(); img.file = file; preview.appendChild(img); } }
Here our loop handling the user-selected files looks at each file's
type attribute to see if it's an image file (by doing a regular expression match on the string "image.*"). For each file that is an image, we create a new
img element, setting its
src attribute to a data URL loaded from the file. CSS can be used to establish any pretty borders, shadows, and to specify the size of the image, so that doesn't even need to be done here.
We add a file attribute to each image indicating the
File for the image; this will let us fetch the images for actually uploading later. Finally, we use
appendChild() to add the new thumbnail to the preview area of our document.

I dodged a heated debate concerning nulls in the database today.
My opinion is that null is an excellent indicator of unspecified values. Everyone else in the team, that has an opinion, thinks zero and empty strings are the way to go.
Are they lazy or am I too strict?

Heighten Your Senses with Dinner in the Dark
Thanks for visiting Never a Dull Date. If you subscribe to our RSS feed, you'll get creative date ideas sent to you weekly!
When I first discovered that there are restaurants where you dine completely in the dark – I knew I wanted to try it. Adam was less sure. He insisted that he would feel claustrophobic in total darkness. However, I wasn't giving up that easily. I thought that if I could recreate the dinner in the dark experience at home, Adam would have to give it a try.
It's said that when you dine in the complete darkness your other senses, including taste, are heightened allowing you enjoy your food at a new level. Awesome! The downside? It turns out, trying to get to your house in complete darkness is a whole other story. Even though the sun had set and I closed all of the blinds, it was amazing how much light could still get into the kitchen. Street lights, other house lights, even lights from the electronics in our house, all prevented me from achieving complete darkness. Instead of fighting it, I decided to use blindfolds to achieve total darkness.
Our dinner consisted of:
- sushi to start
- a selection of olives
- chicken and steak skewers with peppers and onions
- grilled pineapple
- wine
I chose the skewers because I thought the less we would have to use a knife and fork, the better (and boy was I right!). I thought the sushi was a good idea because we could use our fingers to eat it (there was no was I was going to attempt to use chop sticks in the dark). I bought a variety of stuffed olives to try because I thought it would be fun to try and guess which ones we were eating.
I set the table, Adam BBQ'd the skewers and pineapple and when everything was laid out, we blindfolded each other and started! At first, it was really difficult to get your bearings and I could see why someone might panic a little bit. We started feeling around – touching our wine glass, our plate, the olive bowl, each other, until we got a sense of where everything was. Once my brain and eyes adjusted to the complete darkness, I began to relax and embraced the situation. Finding my food on the plate and successfully picking it up with my fork turned out to be quite a challenge. As the evening progressed, I started relying more and more on my hands and less and less on my fork.
Dinner was interesting! By touching the food, we could tell if we were eating a piece of meat (although I couldn't always tell if it was chicken or beef), peppers, onions, or pineapple, before we tasted it. The best part was eating the olives. You had no idea what kind of olive you were going to get until you bit into it! We even took turns feeding the other person olives (we'd have to feel around for the person's mouth and then pop in the olive). Groping around in the dark for the other person's face was hilarious. The whole experience was so much fun
I found it interesting that I when I couldn't see how much food was left on my plate I became full faster than I thought. There was still quite a bit of food on my plate when I was done.
After we finished dinner we took off the blindfolds, cleaned up, lit some candles and enjoyed a romantic dessert together. While I'm not sure Adam is ready to go to a restaurant completely in the dark, we had a lot of fun in our own house. Because we couldn't see anything, we had to rely on our other senses to know what was going on – touching the table and our food, the smells and flavours of the food, even the sounds and conversations seemed heightened. It was an experience I will never forget.
Have you ever tried dinner in the dark?
Pro Tips:
- Using a knife and fork is extremely difficult in the dark! I would suggest making bite-size food for your first dinner in the dark experience.
- Food choice is important. Choose a variety of foods – it's more interesting when you have to use your other senses (especially taste) to figure out what you're eating. If it's all the same food you will miss out on the surprise.
- Before you start, take a minute to adjust to the darkness. Adam's claustrophobic fear is a valid one in darkness – feel around and get your bearings before digging in.
- It's difficult to create total darkness – my solution was blindfolds. Grab a scarf or tie and don't worry about blocking out all of the light. You achieve the same result with less than half of the work!
- Feed each other. It sounds romantic, but it's more hilarious trying to find your partner's face in the darkness. It's also really cool not to know what you are about to eat until it's in your mouth!
|Bang for your buck:
From Adam:
Dinner in the dark was... interesting. As Ashley mentioned, I am very claustrophobic - don't expect a cave diving date anytime soon - and as a result refused to go to the dinner in the dark restaurant. Her compromise of recreating the situation at home was a very good one and in the end we both really enjoyed ourselves.
The one thing I would keep in mind is that food choice is key - it's much more fun to have the flavour be the biggest indicator of what you are eating. We only had one kind of sushi and so you knew exactly what you were getting as soon as you felt the rice on your fingertips.
All in all though, this was an inexpensive, interesting experience that takes very little forethought or extra effort. I definitely recommend this date idea!

Love the pictures! That's so funny.
I have not tried dinner in the dark but I would love to. I don't think we have any restaurants around here that do that, and our house is surrounded by so much light that it would be impossible. BUT, if we run into a place that does it on vacation, we will be there!
Interesting about the plate still having food, yet being full. Makes me think that our eyes play more of a part in our hunger than we imagined, don't you think?
This sounds so great! I can't wait to try. I just have to somehow arrange for the kids to not be home one evening….hmm that could be a problem I don't think I could go to a restaurant and eat the food in complete darkness, for I would be so worried about what I was actually eating – they could put ANYTHING on the plate and tell you it was chicken (for example)… and no I don't have trust issues LOL! This ideas is definitely a great compromise. Thanks for sharing!
Enjoy the extra love today on your SITS day!
The pictures crack me up!!! haha! Such a fun idea!
Okay, we might have to try this one!
Stopped in from SITS and following now via FB.
I absolutely LOVE this idea! I'm going to suggest doing this with my bf as well. It's an inexpensive way to treat yourselves to an entirely different experience
Also, I just think it's the cutest that you both weigh in on your dates to say what you liked/didn't like about the experience. You guys rock!
Whether the product is a vacuum cleaner, pharmaceuticals or a "widget", these are the iconic aspects of "the pitch":

So here are the stats.. almost 6 year old 44. 45, inch tall about 46 lbs in a maestro, 4.5 year old not sure exactly how tall 43 ish inches about 43- 44 lbs ( its been a while since they were measured and weighed) also in a maestro. I have a 1 yr old 24lb 32 inch. in a Scenera its about 4 years old. I drive a little car ( 2001 chevy cavalier) I have tethers but no latch so I have to install the seats with locking clips. The seatbelt did have built in locking clips but they have broken. So I am not going to even think about turning the baby until she is 30 lbs and that is 6 lbs and she is 1 so it could be a while. But when she gets to that point should I turn her? what is the youngest age , recomended, provided she is 30 lbs. I am a full time student with very little income so if I am going to spend $$$ on a seat I need to save for months and months. And I need one that will puzzle both rf and ff if I have to get a new one.
The girls ride ( although not very often) in my moms 2008 focus, I also have a evenflo highback booster and a graco low back booster, but I don't like to put the 6yr old in it, even though it fits her fine.( it has a little stap thing that positiones the seatbelt where it needs to be). BUT I want to think about getting more permant seats because its really hard to change them all around.
***Update*** So I have decided to Go ahead and get the Radian, in April with my student loan installment, I weighed my older kids and discoved that Grace (almost 6) is 49.4 lbs in her underwear so the maestro is out for her. I am looking at the harmony dreamliner because it looks so narrow I think it would work. in my car, I am attaching a pic of my seatbelts and you will see the reason why I am not thrilled at putting them in boosters in my car.... I have the seats in with locking clips obviously. I have a backless turbo booster and a HB evenflo big kid booster already...anyway here is the picture ( i hope)

Best headers I've OwnReview by Vince Reviewed on 12/4/2014
I've put headers on almost everything I've driven since 1966. These stepped headers are absolutely incredible. I can cruise at 1500 rpm down shift and stand on it and the torque is scary. It is a definite, noticeable improvement over stock. I have driven my car from Houston, Tx. to Miami, Fla. and then to Atlanta, Ga. and back home to Houston. I got compliments on the sound everywhere I went. My cousin says it sounds like a big bear coming down the street. By the way, I drive a 2010 Corvette Grandsport with dry sump and 6 speed manual and just can't stay out of the car.

No. 10 private company: EnerVest
By Tanya Rutledge | June 21, 2012 | Updated: February 7, 2013 8:25pm
Photo By courtesy photoEnerVest, a company involved in onshore oil and gas acquisition, development and production, was named to the Chronicle 100 list of top private companies. Sonia Miranda, associate engineering technician, and engineers Barry Gibson and Eric Gilroy discuss development plans in the Barnett Shale.
Photo By courtesy photoEnerVest, a company involved in onshore oil and gas acquisition, development and production, was named to the Chronicle 100 list of top private companies. Doug Beighle, well tender, is shown on his route in eastern Ohio.
Making its first major play in the Fort Worth basin of the Barnett Shale last year helped EnerVest Ltd. boost revenue - and retain its spot on the Chronicle's list of top private Houston companies.
With 2011 revenue of $1.2 billion, EnerVest, which manages oil and natural gas properties for institutional investors, landed at No. 10. That is the same ranking as last year, when it posted $988 million in revenue.
Jim Vanderhider, executive vice president and chief financial officer of EnerVest, said the company made $1.5 billion in investments the past year, mostly in two primary regions: the Barnett and the EagleBine oil play in East Texas.
It went from having a small presence in the Barnett to becoming the No. 6 producer there through investments in 2011 and 2012.
Those acquisitions were made, in part, through EnerVest's Fund XII, which closed in December 2010 with $1.5 billion of equity and total investment capital of $2.4 billion. Vanderhider said 49 percent of fund is invested and the rest should be by year's end.
EnerVest typically acquires long-life domestic onshore properties with the purpose of developing and then selling them.
"Building a dominant basin position is our core strategy," Vanderhider said. "It's part of our buy, build and sell strategy."
However, because depressed natural gas prices put a drain on asset values last year, 2011 wasn't active for divestitures.
"There wasn't much activity in the way of selling, he said. "Because of natural gas prices, we opted to focus on developing."
As a result, EnerVest's production increased from 283 million cubic feet of equivalent per day in 2010 to 354 million cubic feet per day in 2011.
The company also had an active capital expenditures program last year, spending $317 million on drilling activities, up from $171 million in 2010.
While last year was all about development, Vanderhider expects a multibillion-dollar sale to boost EnerVest's bottom line this year as the company sets about marketing its interests in Ohio's Utica Shale play, where EnerVest's 700,000 net acres make it the second-largest lease holder there.
EnerVest, which has about 800 employees, including more than 200 in Houston, has some 20,000 wells in 12 states under management.
The company plans to begin raising investments for its $2 billion Fund XIII in the second half of this year, once Fund XII is at least two-thirds invested.

Madison — A squad of organized protesters tried to storm past police and onto the Senate floor Thursday, with one of them stopping just short of the floor where lawmakers were debating the state budget.
Chanting, "Focus on jobs, not on vaginas," the protesters rushed past the outer doors of the Senate, through its vestibule and up to the doorway just beyond the elegant desks of the senators. They ignored orders from Capitol Police and grappled with officers who were trying to restrain them and close the outer doors.
For a time, once the doors were closed a Senate sergeant at arms staffer had to hold it shut against those trying to open it until more police arrived outside.
About eight protesters made it through the outer doors before being stopped and ultimately being led away in handcuffs. While the number of demonstrators was relatively small, the confrontation between protesters and police was as rough as almost any seen in 2011 at the height of the labor unrest at the Capitol.
One man jumped a table Thursday and got past sergeant at arms staff and police before being restrained in the Senate vestibule by three female staffers. Another woman tried to climb over the table and ended up falling beneath an officer in a tangle of arms and legs.
At one point the protesters tried to push a man in a wheelchair past the Senate staff trying to maintain order, thinking that the staff would be less likely to block a disabled man.
"It is a reminder for all of us in the Senate that we still work in a very unstable environment and must always be aware of our personal safety," Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) said in a statement.
Several of the protesters wore pink shirts and their chant was a clear reference to abortion legislation passed by the Senate and Assembly last week, particularly a bill requiring women to undergo an ultrasound before having the procedure.
The most aggressive of the demonstrators, including the eight who were arrested, are not among the familiar group of protesters who have gathered daily at the Capitol since early 2011 to protest Gov. Scott Walker and Republican policies. Stephanie Marquis, spokeswoman for the Capitol Police, said the eight protesters would be charged with disorderly conduct.
Near the head of the group that tried to push their way past guards and pages and onto the Senate floor was wheelchair user Peter Adamczak, 28, of Milwaukee, who was not injured but unhappy he didn't make it onto the Senate floor.
Leading with a man in a wheelchair was meant to make it easier to get through the door, Adamczak said. "I was glad to put myself out there for the cause."
The crowd of dozens of protesters outside the Senate doors quickly dispersed. The Senate doors were then temporarily locked to everyone but lawmakers, staffers and the media.
Dressed in a tie and buttoned-up white shirt, Carl Gibson, 26, of Madison tried to hold open the door. Later, he jumped up and down outside the gated doors of the Senate chambers yelling, "Our bodies, our choice."
In an interview, he said his group wasn't trying to be violent.
