Using Linux and Perl for Testing Hardware by Ori Idan
Every electronic circuit must be checked before it is delivered to the customer. The check should perform a functional test of all the circuit's functions. In mass production, an automatic test is a must. In this talk, I will talk about the implementation of some functional test systems which I have implemented for several customers. All these systems use Linux as their operating systems and Perl for the actual tests.

How to Welcome Strangers to Perl. - Erez Schatz
Perl and its subsets and extensions have a very unfriendly to outsiders reputation. Part of it is intentional, but other arrives from cultural and personal differences between many in the current communities and those who wish to learn, or get answers and support in Perl, Perl 5, Modern Perl 5, and the CPAN and its main Projects. I will attempt to map some of these relations in an attempt that bridge the two sides.
Distributed Apps with Gearman - Issac Goldstand
Gearman is a framework for writing distributed applications across many nodes. It allows you to do work in parallel, load balance processes and write applications across several programming languages. In this presentation we'll learn how to get started writing Gearman-powered applications in Perl.

Asynchronous Programming FTW! by Sawyer X
The new age is all about non-blocking asynchronous creative responsive deconstructive refactored decoupled conjectured applications. If you're not on the event loop wagon loop, you're missing out!
What the hell am I talking about? Am I just drunk? How many of the above words are totally made-up? These questions and more will be answered at this talk!
Rx.pl - Reactive Extensions for Perl by Ran Eilam
A library for composing async programs. Because writing async code is hard, but working with Perl lists is easy. Lets turn events into lists, and reap the benefits:
- Elegant async programming without callback nesting, using operators we all know from working with Perl lists.
- Managing and coordinating events, e.g. start an HTTP request when timeout on key press if previous HTTP request was OK and arrived in the last 10 seconds.
- Programming with stream transformations, instead of objects and methods- say hello to beautiful functional designs with well defined state and side-effects . Replace boring UML diagrams with fun marble diagrams.
- Stop writing and rewriting retry, timeout, throttle, buffer, window, counters, caching, and aggregate functions for each project. Instead create your processes as observables, then enjoy a rich library of existing operators.

Time: meeting at 18:30, the talks begin at 19:00
Ido Kanner - binding shared libraries with Perl.
Overview of what shared libraries are, and how to bind their functions to Perl.
Ynon Perek - Real Time Web with Pocket::IO
The Internet is changing direction. More and more web-sites want to notify their visitors in real time about changes that happen on the server (for instance, a different visitor uploaded a photo). A library called Socket IO unifies all the various ways to send messages from the server to the computers of the visitors and allows the programmer to write an Internet application that gets updated in real time. vti implemented the library in Perl as Pocket::IO.
In this talk, I will present the ideas behind Real Time Web, including code excerpts in Perl which use the library in order to create interactive sites.
Sawyer X - Regular Expressions Demystified

Gabor Szabo: Refactoring Perl code (20-40 minutes)
Code refactoring is "disciplined technique for restructuring an existing body of code, altering its internal structure without changing its external behavior". It is needed to ensure your code remains readable while growing in size and scope.
It is needed if you have some old code base that needs improvement and after every period of intense development when you "did not have the time to properly design your code".
There are several patterns in refactoring, some of them you might already practice without knowing the name.
The most obvious is when you use a variable $x and suddenly you realize it could have a more descriptive name. If you change all the occurances of $x to this better name, without changing anything else in the code, that's already refactoring.
We will see several patterns for refactoring Perl code. We see examples doing them manually and we'll try to automate them as well.
Mini Hackathon
After the talks we are going to have a mini hackathon, where we are going to work on Perl modules. If possible, please bring your notebook.
We meet at 18:30 and the talks begin at 19:00. The address is: Shenkar College, main building on Anna Frank street, Ramat Gan, Room 300.

Perl Workshop in Israel 28-February-2012
After 4 years of break the next Perl Workshop in Israel will take place on 28 February 2012. The web site is already open for registation. We are looking for talks and sponsors.
Tel Aviv Meeting on 28 December, 2011
Please note the change of venue. This is the building where we started having TA.pm, and not the one which we used for some of the recent meetings.
On 28 December, 2011 (Wednesday), the Tel Aviv Perl Mongers will hold their monthly meetup, and this time it is going to be special. We meet at 18:30 and the talks begin at 19:00. The address is: Shenkar College, main building on Anna Frank street, Ramat Gan, Room 300.
One can find more details on the web-site of the Tel Aviv Perl mongers.
This meeting will hold the following talks:
Visualizing the brain of Vim by Ran Eilam - You loved him in "Game frameworks with SDL, Moose and Coro", you cried over his performance in the after-meeting get-togethers, and you will absolutely adore him in "Visualizing the brain of Vim". All-star legend Ran Eilam will talk to us (both beginners and experts) about Vim and how to fathom this incredible beast. I warn you, the first two lines in the audience will be damaged by Emacs flames.
A bunch of modules which made sense writing - by Sawyer X: I'm going to cover some utility modules I've written, why they were written and when they are useful. At the end, you'll have to judge whether they were worth writing at all. There will be voting booths available! (We'll cover Algorithm::Diff::Callback, App::Genpass, Data::PowerSet::Hash and Module::Version.)
To upgrade or not to upgrade, Perl 5.6 vs. Perl 5.14 - ik vs. Sawyer X: A source of great concern in the Perl users community is whether to use an up-to-date Perl and what version should be considered "too old". On one hand, we have the management that wants as little cost and changes as possible (sometimes along with systems administrators), and on the other hand, the developer who wants to use the latest technologies, and is often stuck on obsolete systems.
In light of this serious consideration, we're going to take turns poking at each other with a stick, wearing funny hats, damning the unbelievers and heretics until they submit to one side: 5.6 or 5.14!
The entrance to the meeting is free-of-charge, and everyone are welcome to attend. See you there!

Joe Klein has a piece in Time in which he points out that in recent days, Senator Obama has decided to portray himself as passionate, mad, angry, and (when it comes to America's wage disparities) a man of boiling blood. Klein, upon hearing these words, immediately (and rightly) thought, "Uh-oh." The reason, as Klein points out, is that
one of the great strengths of the Obama candidacy has been the sense that this is a guy whose blood doesn't boil, who carefully considers the options before he reacts – and that his reaction is always measured and rational.
When candidates, particularly Presidential candidates, begin to act in an affected way, it almost always backfires. It creates unease in voters, making them wonder if the candidate is unanchored and, at his core, hollow. (This impression was a lethal one for Al Gore in 2000.)
It's hard for me to even imagine what a mad, angry, I'm-so-furious-my-blood-is-boiling Obama would look like. (I suspect he would look slightly comical and totally unbelievable.) But that Obama appears to be taking such transparently silly advice from his campaign aides underscores how rattled they all must be. Obama, after all, has made no obvious errors and everything has been working in his favor. And yet his lead over McCain has dwindled to nothing. McCain looks as sharp as he has during the entire campaign, while Obama seems to be less imposing, less eloquent, and off stride.
One of the attractive qualities of Obama has been that he seemed to be a man of impressive self-possession, confident in who he is and who he isn't. But Obama has faced very little sustained pressure in a campaign before. His Senate races against Jack Ryan and Alan Keyes were essentially forfeited to him. And the race against Hillary Clinton, while long, was basically over in February, when Obama rolled up eleven straight primary victories. The Clinton campaign, while certainly critical of Obama, never really went after him hard, fearful that in doing so they would cause a rupture among her own Democratic supporters. So Obama has never really been on the defensive before.
Obama is now in the campaign inferno, which will only get hotter in the ten weeks ahead. The question is whether Senator Obama will, as well. If he does, I predict he'll badly hurt himself and his chances.

|William Bradley Lee Arrested On Multiple Charges
On Sunday, January 16th, a search warrant was executed at an apartment at the Northgate Arms Apartments located at 1038 Cornersville Road in Lewisburg TN. Participating in the execution of the search warrant were agents and officers from the TBI, Franklin Police, Smyrna Police and the Lewisburg Police Department. The residence was searched for evidence of prostitution and the promotion of prostitution. During the execution of the search warrant 26 year old, William Bradley Lee, was found in the residence and arrested for outstanding warrants issued by the Smyrna Police Department. Lee was charged with multiple counts of Especially Aggravated Sexual Exploitation of a Minor, Aggravated Sexual Exploitation of a Minor, Aggravated Statutory Rape, and Promoting Prostitution. His bond was set at $1.5 million and he is currently being held at the Rutherford County Sheriff's Department's Detention Facility.

Breathe Wellness Yoga Classes
Kripalu Yoga
Kripalu yoga combines movement, breath, and self-inquiry to improve not just your physical condition, but also your mental and emotional states. Its focus is on helping you cultivate awareness and compassion towards yourself and others, both on and off the yoga mat.
Power Vinyasa (Recommended for Intermediate and advanced Yogis)
A vigorous series of poses connected with breathe that will cleanse and strengthen your body while calming and soothing your mind. Whether you have never practiced before or you've practiced regularly for years, you'll feel welcome and challenged wherever you are on your path.
Flex and Flow
An active combination of flowing sequences with core strengthening poses. All levels welcome.
Yoga Strong
This one hour class features simple athletic yoga poses to build muscle and core strength. The class begins with a warm-up to loosen tight postural muscles, then moves to a strength-based asana flow with special attention given to the glutes and abs. The class always finishes with quiet time, savasana. This class is appropriate for all.
(Wear sneakers)
A fusion of Cardio, Yoga and Pilates, this high intensity class includes cardio intervals with balance and yoga poses to maximize fat-burning and give you long, lean muscles.
Meditative Flow
Created by owners Meg and Beth, we practice the true meaning of Yoga by unifying body, mind and spirit through restorative yoga poses and guided meditation throughout.
Gentle Awakening
Morning Yoga is a balanced practice that will wake up your body and breathe life and space into it after a night's sleep. The class will incorporate creative sequencing at just the right pace to center you and prepare you for the day. Postures and sequences will focus on awareness, strength, proper alignment and breathing. This is a practice that will challenge the body in various ways each morning, creating health and balance while still practicing familiar postures.
Mindfulness Meditation
It's not what you think. Literally…we are not our thoughts. In formal meditation practice we relax into an alert posture and watch as the mind is bombarded by an endless stream of thoughts. We learn that "we don't have to go to every party we are invited to." In time, we develop an ability to "see" these thoughts, instead of "be" the thoughts. This leads to a profound sense of peace and and control.
Vinyasa Flow
Vinyasa means "breath-synchronized movement," and Vinyasa yoga is a series of poses that will move you through the power of inhaling and exhaling. Vinyasa movements are smoothly flowing and almost dance-like, which explains why it is sometimes referred to as Vinyasa Flow or just Flow.
Yoga for Beginners
For the beginner who has never done yoga before, or for the more experienced yogi who wants a refresher, this class is for everyone. Our body can fall into patterns that have potential to do us more harm than good. This class will take us through the most common yoga poses as we examine how are bodies move in and out of the poses and how we can benefit the most from our practice.

The nation's top antigraft body questioned media tycoon Hary Tanoesoedibjo on Friday as a witness in a corruption case implicating an official from his firm.
The case revolves around East Java tax official Tommy Hendratno and tax consultant James Gunarjo, who have been accused of graft involving tax receipts from Bhakti Investama, where Hary is the president director.
Tommy and James were arrested last week at a restaurant in Tebet, South Jakarta, where they were allegedly transacting a bribe. The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) seized an envelope filled with more than Rp 280 million ($30,000) during the arrest.
Tommy and James are being held on charges of violating multiple articles of the Anti-Corruption Law.
Tempo magazine reported that Tommy had been under surveillance by the KPK since 2011 in connection with his handling of Bhakti's tax obligations.
Quoting a source inside the KPK, the magazine reported that Tommy, who was head of tax supervision and consultancy at the Sidoarjo tax office in East Java, used his position to award Bhakti a Rp 3.4 billion tax rebate based on the company's claim that it had paid more than it owed. The source said Tommy had been promised a Rp 340 million kickback, 10 percent of the rebate, and that the money seized at the restaurant was just the initial payment.
Following the questioning, Hary dismissed claims that the tax receipts at the center of the case were problematic.
"I paid taxes of Rp 1.2 trillion for the MNC group," he said, referring to his media company Media Nusantara Citra.
"How is that a problem on the part of my group? I don't see any problem."
He called on the media to not jump to the conclusion that officers in his company were involved in corruption.
"There are certain media outlets, both print and electronic, that have pronounced Bhakti guilty [of corruption]," he said at the KPK offices on Friday.
He added that he was scheduled to return to give further testimony on June 28.
"We have to support [the anticorruption drive]," he said. "Any allegations have to be fully investigated and as a law-abiding citizen, I will do my part to inform authorities of what I know."
On Friday, the KPK also continued questioning the two suspects, James and Tommy, KPK spokesman Johan Budi said. Four other tax officials — Fery Syarifuddin, Heru Munandar, Hani Masrokim and Agus Totong — were also questioned.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - "Guardians of the Galaxy" blasted past expectations at the weekend box office.
Studio estimates Sunday show Marvel's cosmic romp starring Chris Pratt and Zoe Saldana as members of an intergalactic band of mercenaries earned $94 million in its debut weekend.
Box office analysts initially projected the comic book adaptation would earn between $60 million and $75 million in North America.
The launch shatters the record for the biggest opening of a film in August and makes "Guardians" the third largest opening in 2014.
"Guardians" distributor Disney says the film hauled in an additional $66.4 million in international territories.
Marvel announced at Comic-Con in San Diego earlier this month that a "Guardians" sequel will be released in 2017.

Parent representatives from North Star Elementary and Double Eagle will meet with APS district officials at 11 a.m. Tuesday to discuss proposals for halting overcrowding issues at North Star.
The school has a capacity of 633 students, but this year 745 enrolled.
Only about half of those students actually live within the initially drawn boundaries for the school.
District officials commissioned a study to explore the issue and possible solutions after initially meeting with parents back in September.
Now, they'll form proposals based on results from the study and research on policies in Baltimore, Boston and Atlanta.
They will be holding public meetings in the coming months.

It has been many years since the advent of the SEO services for website rankings and the website development companies have honed the art, exhausting considerable effort to defining best practices and touting the value of SEO for raising a site's performance on organic search listings and giving it a healthy boost on Search Engine Rankings. But rubbing shoulders and almost head to head is another dimension of online marketing, shelved as Social Media Optimization Services.
The concept behind SMO is simple: implement changes to optimize a site so that it is more easily linked to, more highly visible in social media searches on custom search engines and more frequently included in relevant posts on blogs, podcasts and vlogs.
Let us now consider some guidelines along which one could successfully conduct SMO services:
- Increase your linkability: The foremost priority of a website that does not wish to be tagged as a "static" website; one that are rarely updated and used simply for a storefront. To optimize a site for social media, we need to increase the linkability of the content. Adding a blog is a great step, however there are many other ways such as creating white papers and thought pieces, or even simply aggregating content that exists elsewhere into a useful format.
- Make tagging and bookmarking easy: Adding content features like quick buttons to "add to del.icio.us" are one way to make the process of tagging pages easier, but one can go beyond this by making sure that pages showcase relevant tags, suggested notes for a link etc.
- Reward inbound links: The numbers of inbound links is usually employed to gauge the success of a blog and play a decisive role in increasing the rank in search results. From using Permalinks to recreating, listing recent linking blogs on your site provides the reward of visibility for those who link to you.
- Help your content travel: In SEO, one is made to focus more on the sites up gradation to influence its search engine rankings. However, SMO is not just about making changes to a site. When you have content that can be portable submitting them to relevant sites will help your content travel further, and ultimately drive links back to your site.
Encourage the Mash Up: Do not blindly shun the idea of co creation, because in a world of co existence it will pay you more to be open about content sharing, though within some defined limits. The idea first found origin in YouTube, which provided embedded codes to cut and paste to allow imbedding of video content. Syndicating your content through RSS also makes it easy for others to create mash up which can successfully drive the traffic or the argument to your site.

Alcohol and Art – A New Kind of AA
Sometimes when given choices like going to the museum and see some fine art or drinking beer and watching the game, we choose the less classy road. It may not be because we don't want to walk around looking at things and struggling to understand them or it might be that we just want to imbibe some alcohol. If the latter is more your style then you're in luck, there is a way to get the best of both worlds.

Comments about SPORTS AUTHORITY Parkside 14' Trampoline and Enclosure with Heavy Duty Frame and Flashzone:
Do not buy. Park side and Sports Authority do NOT stand behind the warranty for replacement parts on this trampoline. Netting and safety pad fall apart within 3 months and cost more than $250 to replace--if they are in stock on third party websites. Generic pads and netting do not fit this trampoline. Given the price tag on this trampoline, there are better quality trampolines available.

The first half of the game reminded me of the Wisconsin game last year, except where Wisconsin would either go unbalanced or motion to where they had a numbers advantage, Iowa just flat out showed it.

Rather than adjust, Meyer & Co. continued to rely on Miller to make a play, failing to exploit with both the run and pass the bubbles inside and in underneath flats left open by the Badger game plan.
While the season was obviously a success, this is where I think the improvement needs to come next year. Coaches can't just rely on Braxton to "make a play" as they did this year. I'd argue that establishing Hyde north-south and getting Miller established in the east-west passing game would open things up for OSU as much as Miller's running.
It'll be interesting to see Braxton's growth next year and (hopefully) the year after. Right now, he's playing like a true sophmore. It's a bit disconcerting to see his throwing regress (at least seemingly) over the year. If he's hitting 65-70% of his passes each game, the offense would be near unstoppable.
Thus far, the best thing about Miller is he's able to get out of the jams he creates (I think Ross is intimating the same thing, just says it nicer). Often, drives stall out early in the game due to overthrows and missed throws. This puts OSU in a hole and requires Miller to put on his Superman cape to start breaking off absurd runs. Once he starts converting those 3rd and 2s and 3s through the air, he won't need the cape (at least as much).
I was happy to see OSU finally had success defending the outside runs. Against UCF and Cal, the DE would line up shaded inside or heads-up with the tackle, creating easy angles for blocks. Against MSU, the DE was heads up, but then attacked the outside should of the blocker, allowing the DE to maintain contain and defeating the OT/TE's angle. Great inside-out fill from the LBs, too (which wasn't there against UCF and Cal because they were usually caught in the DE getting blocked).
I think Nebraska will be more of a challenge as the D will now have to be disciplined. Last year, the D tended to freelance against IV and zone reads.
I was hoping this breakdown would include the plays where Cal was able to get outside. When they were successful, the force man was lined up either heads up or inside the end man on the offensive side -see JT Moore get (barely) doubled by the OT/TE, with the TE then getting to Shazier and John Simon shaded inside the LT with no LB outside. The schemes made it easy.
In a way, it was probably helpful to have a Cal team coached by Tedford - an offensive guy - come in a out-scheme the OSU D staff (but without the personnel to do much damage). It should help the coaching staff in self-scouting. If it doesn't, we'll run into issues with teams that like to get to the edge like Nebraska (option killed OSU last year), Purdue (screens and outside runs), and Michigan (Denard and Toussaint).
Next, the OSU D staff needs to work on what to do when the offense motions.
Agree on the TV. The sideline camera seemed to be directed to the deepest offensive back and the nearest safety, then zoomed in to the action (on runs) or followed the action on pass. It didn't give you enough of the field to determine the covereage easily.
Spot on Ross, as usual. It's not the defenses being run, it's when they're being run. Combine that with lack of execution and you get a recipe for big plays.
I'd also suggest better disguise of blitzes. When they blitzed (outside of a delayed and zone blitzes), it was obvious who was coming. On the delayed and zone blitzes, the blitzer (or 4th rusher in zone) would run into a blocker, taking themselves out of the play.
The breakdowns on cover 3 are becoming inexcusable. I don't know if the focus on interceptions is leading to the outside 1/3rd defender coming off his zone and biting on undeneath (Miami) or the inside post (UCF).
How many of Braxton's carries were missed reads? He had a couple option pitches that were there, but instead of pitching he'd try and cut back underneath his man.
Gotta be Winfield, considering his brother was murdered earlier in the week.
Cover 3 corners cannot let a man run vertical past him.
Ross- Did my eyes fool me or did I see some Tampa 2 mixed in as well? I saw Sabino sprinting back to cover the middle a couple times.
It also looked like most of the big gainers were against cover 3. Looked like about 65% Cover 4 25% Cover 3, and 10% Cover 2/other. Bucks seem to like man with their backs against the goalline.
On the 1st video, it looks like a missed read. The LDE crashes (following the RT) and turns his shoulders. Should the QB have pulled the ball (or was it a designed give)? By giving, it looks like they're giving up the numbers advantage.
D got beat when they played cover 3. CBs would bite on underneath stuff leaving a deep 1/3 open.
Miller missed several reads on the read option, mostly in the 1st quarter. He too often kept it, instead of giving to the RB.
Great pass, no doubt, but no one was fooled. Watch the pulling guard - he gets deep when its a pass, OL doesn't fire out and sell run. LBs aren't sucked up on the PA. That's just TP and WR making a great play.
Spot on. There was not even a pretense of constrarint. A QB finishing off the hand-off ala Brett Farve would have at least held the back side end - who too often was crashing down the line making the tackle for a gain of 1 or 2. Instead, the QB would hand the ball off and stare. TP could have made a living with a bootleg action off Dave. Add a Wisconsin-type (under OSU old offense) jet sweep and you're in business.
The one Dave pass they had was obvious and so slow developing that it amounted to nothing.
The Cincy papers have always seemed a bit more on-and-off toward Ohio State. Etc.
Doesn't the Cincy paper use AP reports for the Buckeye games? I recall they send a writer to bowls/final fours, but I think they use AP reports for regular season games.
From the referenced article:
Defenses needed something better. They needed Ed Reed and Troy Polamalu.
There's still a plaque at UM celebrating Jesse Owen's world records.
Teams that beat Oregon have generally had great defensive lines. See, OSU, Auburn and LSU. Wisky has not had a great Dline. They've had good players (JJ Watt), but not enough to overwhelm the Oregon Oline. Moreover, their LB's may be good a filling holes, but they are slow sideline-to-sideline.
Not Ross, but I think your concerns regarding the offense are misplaced. OSU isn't going to be running the Oregon offense, they're trying to match the Oregon offense's tempo. The tempo allows for more plays, more plays allow for more scoring opportunities.
The term "spread" is a broad definition of offenses. Some teams spread to throw (Mike Leach, Purdue under Tiller), others spread to run (UFM). Rich Rod had other issues with smurf receivers, no running back and poor defense. I wouldn't worry too much about Rich Rod's failures.
About how many Ohio kids will be taken in 2013? Many of the offers seem to be to out of state kids.
From a recent ESPN chat with Vince Doria:
Jake Schmal (Melbourne, FL)
How does ESPN decide how much attention to give to a particular NCAA scandal. As an Ohio State fan, I have been following that story closely and the stories ESPN has run multiple stories using old or false information while other colleges have gotten much less attention.
Vince Doria
I'll preface this by noting that I happen to be an Ohio State graduate (journalism, 1970). That said, I think we have reported fairly on a number stories involving violations in college football, including USC, Tennessee, North Carolina, Miami, so forth. No doubt we did perhaps more enterprise reporting on the problems at Ohio State. As in the case with most news entities, we feel an obligation to report the news, which I believe we have done with a variety of universities. When looking deeper, there are a combination of two variables. How important in the landscape is the offending party? In the case of Ohio State, it is arguably one of the two or three most prominent college football programs in the country. A second aspect is the type of information you have access to, the sources, the willingness of the sources to provide information, and so forth.

Below is the poem entitled SONG OF DESOLATION which was written by poet
gothard. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Maria Gothard
Complexity of human minds
Somber thoughts occupies slumbers
In the night the sound is deaf
Massless dreams useless thoughts.
In the day performed are dreams
Desolate, like deserts sand huddles
Heatrd to loss of purified waters
Heap upon heap smothering another.
Out of the deserts bones and sculls
Softly weeping, quench this thirst.
To late to far for human race?
Whispers heard ever so gentle soft
Awake, awake, wake you multitudes
Take care of all of your brothers.
Yet the staff with gold adorned
Speaks another with poison tongue
Listen not to the still,still voice
For I am the ruler of this world.
Oh skull and bones empty you are
In a whisper your days are numbered
Rulers you think you are,rich adorned
Your time is, yet it will fall like all others.
In one breath of purification, a calmness
Amidst the rumbles of wars and greed
The Earth will stand in all of its splendor
To those who hunger their thirst be quenched.
Humanity listen to the ever so small voice
Give no heed to the voice of this world
Rome the leader to doom predicted
Ah. men a sheep, a specie to be pitied.

I could not find and endor Commando Donut anywhere so I decided to build one from scratch. I went to the outdoor section at Walmart and got the Italian style planter with base for about 10 bucks. For this project you will need:
1 planter, any color will do.
Tin snips
Foam insulation scraps
Liquid nails
Pocket planer or cheese grater file
Step 2:
shape out .
Step 5:
aside. Cut the bottom 1 to 1-1/2 inches from the planter then glue the two pieces together
with liquid nails. Clamp the pieces together and go do something else for 24 hours. When
24 hours have elapsed you may begin filling in the gap between the planter and the base.
In the back, cut a 6- inch wide strip from the planter portion. This will be that depression
in the back. Do not cut into the base portion. From the unused planter leftovers, cut a
piece just large enough to be glued to the inside of the donut. Cutting pieces of
posterboard as patterns to fit will really save time and plastic. When youíve got a piece
that you can live with, liquid nail it and clamp it for 24 hours.
Take some scrap and a lighter at this point. Practice heating the plastic from the backside
until it gets soft. Take the back end of a Sharpie and make dents in the plastic. When you
can do this without wrecking the plastic, make some dents in the donut. Remember, the
ones in the movie are beat all to Hades.

X switches to alternate display port
I have a computer with a number of tesla GPUs installed and one quadro 5800, which is used to run the display. Linux boots to runlevel 3, and the console is displayed from the right DVI connector of the 5800, using a DVI to VGA adaptor. When I run startx, the display comes up on the left DVI connector of the 5800, if I move the monitor vga cable to the left connector DVI adaptor, I see the x desktop.
What specific option is used to bind the X display to a physical port on the card?
Thank You
Jim Morton

That is insanity. There's not even any labeling requirements. They can give us whatever they want.
The only way I know around it is to hunt the game behind my house and eat the wild vegetation, not really too feasible. You can't grow your own, the seeds you buy are modified. So many things we already consume are already modified, wheat being a prime example. Notice the rise in gluten free menu's lately? That's because the GM wheat is affecting more people with a propensity towards gluten intolerance. My own wife dropped gluten from her diet and she is looking and acting way healthier. I understand Europe is pulling GMO of their shelves. I dearly hope market forces prevail and stops the insanity. I don't know any way around this, as the food supply is managed by only a few companies.
I was curious as to what the international community thinks about this frightening subject. It negatively affects the health of each and every one of us in a major way.
Pffft. There is no (reliable) evidence anywhere of any kind that GMOs are in any way harmful. It's all just Internet rumor. Is that redundant?
What's next - vaccines cause retardation? Smoke detectors are government spying devices?
What we know, we don't believe and what we don't know, we believe.

President's Message
I am pleased to be your President for the 2005-2007 term and look forward to our work the next two years to advance our profession and advocate for social justice for the benefit of the people we serve. The mandate for our College is stated in the Health Professions Act:
The mission and goals of the College are to promote, regulate and govern the profession of social work in the Province of Alberta; to advocate for skilled and ethical social work practices; and, to advocate for policies, programs and services that promote the profession and protect the best interests of the public
ACSW has come along way since the Health Professions Act was first proclaimed and with it mandatory regulation of our profession as one of the College's core functions. The staff has worked very hard to develop and implement processes for carrying out the College's regulation responsibilities. We recognize, however, that we need to continue to listen to members about your experiences with registration and continuing competency requirements so that the Council and staff learn and grow in our ability to implement the requirements in the Act for registration and regulation in a positive, responsible manner to benefit our members and the public we serve. The staff and Council at the same time are committed to working towards balance so that membership services, with promotion of the profession and advocacy for social justice, are given equal weight with our regulation function. This is not an easy task but one we must be dedicated to achieving and with your assistance our goal is to move significantly in achieving this balance the next two years In moving toward balance the Council has set an ambitious agenda which includes continuing the work of the past Council in strengthening our internal communication network and clarifying organizational structure and policies and regulatory functions. In addition to this essential organizational work we have committed ourselves to being pro active in educating the public and employers about who we are as a profession with the myriad ways we serve all the citizens of Alberta. In emphasizing the essential nature of what we do for the health and well being of Albertans we will note critical roles for social workers working in partnership with allied professionals in all sectors of health and human service practice. To employers we will point out what our professional practice requires in terms of access to professional supervision, manageable work load, and support for professional development. What many view as steady erosion in the position of our profession in health and human services leadership as well as front line positions in Alberta and across Canada will not change over night. We must, however, respond to this erosion and the serious dilemma our profession faces of escalating needs for our skills and knowledge while facing a significant devaluation by the public of much of the work we do, particularly in social services. To meet this challenge we need a strong sense of professional identity and clear sense of purpose projected both by you as inpidual practitioners and by the work we do the next two years in our education and social justice work. We have much to do but working together we can accomplish a great deal.

Video:How to Take Hollywood Sign Pictureswith Valerie Alvord
Learn how to take Hollywood sign pictures so that you can bring home memories of this iconic Los Angeles monument. Here are some tips on how to take Hollywood sign pictures.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Take Hollywood Sign PicturesHi my name's Diana Wright. I'm the media co-ordinator of the Hollywood sign, and I'm here with About.com with a "how to" video of how to take the best picture of the Hollywood sign.
Keep a Distance When You Take Hollywood Sign PicturesReally the important thing to remember when trying to get a picture of the sign is that distance is your friend. These letters are 50 feet tall and 40 feet wide, so the closer you get, actually, the more obscured picture you're going to get. So right here, we're at Canyon Lake Drive, we've got a nice height, and we've got a nice viewpoint of the sign, and that can get you a gorgeous photo.
You want to be able to get the hillside, you want to get the blue sky, and you want to get all the letters in one picture. The Hollywood sign came from Hollywood Land, which in the '20s was a real estate development company. It was a billboard. They put it up in 1923, and it said "Hollywood Land," and had a giant "period." It also lit. So it went, "Holly-wood-land," and then the "period" would flash.
Take in the Hollywood Experience When You Take Hollywood Sign PicturesWhen you're looking to take pictures of the sign you also want to think about Hollywood around you. We have locations like Hollywood and Highland, which is just going to be your basic, Hollywood everything there experience.
You've got the Walk of Fame, you've got the Chinese Mann Theater, and you've got the Hollywood Sign. Or you can do Beachwood Canyon Drive. You get a nice shot of the sign, but then also you get Hollywoodland Real Estate, and Village Coffee Shop. Both are just perfect, historical places. You go, you get a slice of what Hollywood used to be.
Be Aware of Security When You Take Hollywood Sign PicturesThe Hollywood Sign is copyrighted. It's owned by the city (of Los Angeles). But you're allowed to take pictures of it. You can always shoot us an email, and we will answer any of your questions for marketing and licensing needs.
The Hollywood Sign is under 24-hour surveillance, so if you get close to the sign and you say, "Hey, it doesn't look so far ..." and start hiking up, you are going to get caught. And you will have a fine and an embarrassing escort from the LAPD. Filmmakers constantly turn Los Angeles into Venice, and Rome and New York. If you think about the Hollywood sign, it's really our only land marker saying, "Hey. This is Los Angeles."

Alyssa Milano is mourning a "beautiful" friend. The 40-year-old actress's beloved pooch has passed away after a recent bout with cancer.
"Rest in peace, my beautiful Diesel," she wrote Sunday on Twitter. "I hope you're playing Frisbee at the dog park in the sky. I love you forever."
The dog's health became a big concern for Milano in January.
"My dog Diesel is sick. They think it could be liver failure. Please keep him in your prayers. (Thank you.)" she shared Jan. 12 on Twitter.
But a few weeks later, Milano discovered that Diesel's condition was very serious – and she was devastated by the news.
"My Diesel has cancer," she wrote. "I'm heartbroken."
The mom of a son – 17-month-old Milo – has a brood of other animals to comfort her during this difficult time, including 10 horses and pups Dodger, Lucy, Gibson and Quixie.

A good (well-phrased, well-documented) question gets reasonable answers, generally.

I agree there's a lot of venting, but that's because there's a lot of people who don't do their own homework, and ask poor questions. > There are no stupid questions but only stupid people who do not ask > questions! Nobody is born knowing everything. We learn from being tought > by others, and we learn from our mistakes we make. I beg to differ. There are stupid questions, or at least questions stupidly presented. Wanting a particular piece of information isn't stupid. Phrasing a question such that even the people who'd want to help you have nowhere to start is just a waste of time. > Coming back to Stefan's initial question: I think it would be intersting > to know if the Snapshots include the patches. > > Right, Snapshots are for knowledgeable people, but how to become > knowledgeable if you don't try out and ask.
