text: 'Da Vinci's Demons' Season 2 Premiere Date Announced; New Trailer and Photos Released January 10, 2014 Da Vinci's Demons, News Da Vinci's Demons is heading back to the small screen for a second season on Saturday, March 22nd at 9/8c on Starz, and if you thought last season put a unique twist on the original Renaissance Man's story, just wait until you see the new trailer. In the wake of Rome encroaching upon Florence, Da Vinci is ready for a fight, but it's his journey to find the "fabled Book of Leaves" that looks intriguing– and a little crazy. You see, his journey appears to take him to the New World; clearly a chapter that was left out of the history books. However, the story seems a natural fit for Tom Riley's youthful, Indiana Jones-esque version of Da Vinci. There are cool sword fights, bonding with enemies and a whole lot of talk about fate to look forward to. Check out the trailer, as well as three photos from season two below.

Last November, we made history by defeating an anti-gay marriage amendment in Minnesota—and the voters passed the freedom to marry in three other states. It was the first time our side won at the ballot, but our opponents are not giving up.
The right-wing is placing an anti-freedom amendment in Indiana, and we must stop it. If passed, it would permanently ban all protections for same-sex couples and their families and remove existing protections for unmarried Hoosiers.

Please be aware that there are restrictions in the use of ovens and stoves on the Sabbath and Holidays. If you are unfamiliar with the laws of keeping food warm on the Sabbath or cooking on the Holidays, please call your Rabbi. Please note that when the Holiday and Sabbath coincide, the Sabbath laws prevail. Before first use of a new oven be sure to wash the racks and interior of the oven thoroughly with warm water and soap to remove any coating oil.
1. On the Sabbath, a gas flame may not be initiated, adjusted or turned off.
2. On the Sabbath, a "blech" should be used to cover the flame in addition to covering the controls of the cooktop. For the gas burners use a standard "blech", but it should not cover the knobs. Knobs should be covered lightly with foil (if necessary). The cooktops require air to flow around and underneath the knobs. The smallest burner should be used at the lowest setting (only one burner when using a blech to avoid overheating and damage to the cooktop surface and components).
3. On Yom Tov, the gas flame may not be initiated or turned completely off. For gas cooktops, raise and lower the temperature as required for cooking.
4. During and after a power failure, gas cooktops will remain on.
1. The oven temperature can not be initiated, adjusted or turned off on the Sabbath or the Holidays. Once in the Sabbath mode, the oven will run for 73 hours at the entry set temperature or until cancel is pressed.
2. On the Sabbath, in lieu of a "blech", the oven controls should be covered. (Be careful not to cover vent openings.)
3. Oven light is always on or off. User sets it when entering Sabbath Mode.
4. All food should be placed in the oven before the Sabbath begins, since none may be placed in the oven during the Sabbath.
5. On the Sabbath the oven door may only be opened once, all the food removed and then closed. On the Holidays, the oven door may be opened/closed at any time as often as desired.
6. The convection fan will run during preheat if oven starts cold. Do not open the oven door during this 10-15 minute period. Once preheated, the convection fan will not come on again.
7. There is no Timed Bake in the Sabbath Mode in these ovens.
8. After recovery from a power failure, the units will return to the start up screen. When oven comes back �OFF� in regular non-Sabbath mode, light will go on when you open door.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — California's U.S. senators are calling for improved commercial bus safety after a deadly crash on a mountain highway.
Democrats Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer said Thursday the government needs to tighten vehicle inspections and safety rules to weed out potentially dangerous vehicles.
Their letter to Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood came four days after a tour bus carrying 38 lost control below the Big Bear resort area and collided with a sedan and a pickup.
Eight people were killed and dozens injured.
The driver told investigators the brakes failed.
The senators say many bus crashes are preventable. They say the government must do more to protect passenger safety. Proposed improvements have been stalled in Washington for years.

You may recall graphics veteran S3 was acquired by VIA in 2001, but without much success in the discrete GPU market, graphics cores have been relegated to integrated north bridge parts.
Furthermore, among a number of rumors, Nvidia is said to be looking into buying VIA which would get them the necessary licenses for developing x86-compatible CPUs. Another rumor involving the two parties is that VIA could stop developing motherboard chipsets completely and would rely on Nvidia to make chips compatible with Isaiah.

No Budget: Day 76
It's been 76 days since the governor called the first special session of the Legislature to address the state's projected $42 billion budget shortfall.
Every day the state goes without an approved revised budget, it loses $40 million, and every hour, $1.7 million, according to the Office of the Governor.
The Star asks local residents what they think legislators and the governor should do to solve the budget crisis.
Residents are given the opportunity to call their legislators on the spot to tell them what should be done.
Every day until a revised budget is approved, The Star will publish comments from local residents about the crisis.

Jeff Aeck, 47, Somis, works at a motorcycle parts shop in Simi Valley.
Problem: The Democrats are out of control up there spending. They always say they're going to cut fire and police. They use that as a ploy to rationalize more spending.
Protect: Everything has to be looked at. To say cut social services, for example, is a broad stroke, but there are a lot of services provided for those who don't live within our state or our country.
Comment: I think they need to do a lot more cutting and not raise taxes.
Phone call: Declined. "I'd feel as if I'm banging my head against a wall."

Lauren Davison's aka youngcreature's first camera was an iPhone. Two years ago, she joined Instagram and quickly developed an infatuation with taking pictures. Lauren grew up in Montara, California, a small coastal town south of San Francisco, and is currently studying at San José State University to become an Industrial Designer. It was a valuable and humbling experience to shoot with only an iPhone for the first year—it forced the quality of her images to rely on thought and creativity in order to compensate for the limitations of a mobile camera. Photography is her motivation for adventuring to new places. Lauren plans to pursue photography as a hobby and as a method for networking with photographers and creative people around the world.

Basic Appropriations Law Concepts
The Supreme Court has expressed the guiding principle of "appropriations law" as follows: "The established rule is that the expenditure of public funds is proper only when authorized by Congress, not that public funds may be expended unless prohibited by Congress" (United States v. MacCollom, 426 U.S. 317, 321 (1976); see also B-288266, Jan. 27, 2003). Thus, the concept of "legal authority" is central to the spending of federal money.
The term "federal appropriations law" or "federal fiscal law," refers to the body of law that governs the availability and use of federal funds. Federal funds are made available for obligation and expenditure by means of appropriation acts (or occasionally by other legislation) and the subsequent administrative actions that release appropriations to the spending agencies. The use or "availability" of appropriations once enacted and released (that is, the rules governing the purpose, amounts, manner, and timing of obligations and expenditures) is controlled by various authorities: the terms of the appropriation act itself; legislation, if any, authorizing the appropriation; the "organic" or "enabling" legislation, which prescribes a function or creates a program that the appropriation funds; general statutory provisions that allow or prohibit certain uses of appropriated funds; and general rules that have been developed largely through decisions of the Comptroller General and the courts. These sources, together with certain provisions of the Constitution, form the basis of "appropriations law" — an area where questions may arise in as many contexts as there are federal actions that involve spending money.
The legal availability and use of federal appropriations is based on three core elements – purpose, time, and amount. This tool, however, limits its focus to the principles of federal appropriations law related to the second element – time – because of vulnerabilities in this area. The other two core elements, while essential to establishing the legality of a particular obligation, are not addressed in this tool. HHS staff must take all necessary steps to comply with all three elements to ensure that contract obligations and expenditures are legally sufficient.
A brief summary of the purpose and amount elements is provided below:
- Purpose – The "purpose statute" (31 U.S.C. 1301(a)) prohibits federal officials from using appropriated funds for purposes other those for which the funds were appropriated. In the GAO reference provided below, Chapter 4, Availability of Appropriations: Purpose, addresses the "purpose statute" in great depth with numerous examples and case references. If the user has any doubt about a purpose issue, please consult with OGC and budget/finance officials.
- Amount – All obligations and expenditures must be within the amount established by Congress. HHS budget processes place additional limits on appropriated amounts through use of internal allotments and allocations of funds as part of the Department's controls to ensure compliance with the Anti-Deficiency Act.
Fundamental concepts that are key to understanding the time element of federal appropriations law are highlighted throughout the tool. These concepts include the severability of services, appropriation types, the Anti-Deficiency Act and the Bona Fide Needs rule.
The authoritative source for guidance on these matters is GAO's Principles of Federal Appropriations Law, commonly referred to as the "Red Book". Although this publication incorporates some other relevant authorities, its primary focus is on the decisions and opinions of the "accounting officers of the government" — the Comptroller General of the United States and the GAO. As a result, the principles governing Federal appropriations law are constantly evolving as new GAO decisions are issued.

Powerful effects seen in all subjects including those with low HDL - representing a majority of myocardial infarct patients TSX Exchange Symbol: RVX
CALGARY, Sept. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Resverlogix Corp. ("Resverlogix" or the "Company") (TSX:RVX) announced today that results from the Company's Phase 1b/2a clinical trial have met and exceeded expectations by successfully concluding the drug, RVX-208, is safe and tolerable. Most importantly RVX-208 has met its primary endpoint to increase the production of plasma ApoA-I, the key cardioprotective protein in high-density lipoprotein (HDL), often referred to as "good" cholesterol. ApoA-I is generally endorsed as a key protective factor against atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease with 40% of all first heart attack patients having low ApoA-I.
Resverlogix's Phase 1b/2a study tested RVX-208 for 28 days in three different dosing arms. The most pronounced results were demonstrated among those subjects with low HDL cholesterol levels. Low HDL is an important risk factor in coronary and cardiovascular disease patients. Resverlogix will continue to build upon its world leading position in development of novel small molecules that increase ApoA-l production and reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) markers in patients with high vascular risk profiles. RCT is a path by which cholesterol on the arterial wall is transported back to the liver by ApoA-I lipid complexes for excretion. Additional analysis was performed on other key RCT markers which achieved high levels of statistical significance. The Company has established a dosing range that it deems will be safe, well tolerated and effective for Phase 2 intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) development trials.
"The range of increase in ApoA-l production of all subjects, but in particular low HDL subjects over placebo demonstrated in this study is one of the most significant pieces of data for RVX-208. We have excee

Moonstarr performing his track `Detriot` live in Strasbourg / Faces Records residency
Moonstarr is indeed one busy cat. If he's not busy on the phone holding things down on the biz side for his label Public Transit Recordings, the man's hunkered down behind closed doors over his synths, drum machines, and samplers to bang out some killer beats.
He's got a brand new album out, in fact, entitled Instrumentals Forever – a 12 tracks, 5 interludes album with appearances from Fineprint, Lotus Jai Nitai, LAL, Sarah Linhares. Styles are from the classic Moonstarr era. Expect dirty breaks, butter loops, broken technessss etc…
Catch him at one of the following shows or stay tuned to TCR for future concert listings.

The BoyScout Killers are an Ottawa band that I have a very hard time describing. They're weird. Good weird… great weird – but so weird. They describe themselves accurately as IDM/Experimental/Psychedelic. Really, you have to see/hear them to really understand. They're so much fun and unlike a lot of bands these days, they're truly one of a kind.
They're playing at the Mercury Lounge here in Ottawa on September 30th. And they put on an awesome show. Yes, that's a big hint.
Moonstarr is indeed one busy cat. If he's not busy on the phone holding things down on the biz side for his label Public Transit Recordings, the man's hunkered down behind closed doors over his synths, drum machines, and samplers to bang out some killer beats. Moonstarr cites such diverse influences as 4 Hero, DJ Premier, and Underground Resistance. Everything he touches carries imprints of deep techno, jazz, hip hop, bossa, and broken beat, resulting in tracks that step far into the future. And it's not like people haven't noticed. Ever since Moon's dropped the now-classic Dupont EP, he's received love for his work the world over.
Like any respectable DJ worth their weight in vinyl, Vivie-Ann really knows how to work a room. Along with the taste-making mixes she drops nightly on dance floors across the world, the 23-year-old Montreal DJ carries a reputation for orchestrating a spectacular fusion of mischief, music and mayhem. Glitter pranks, moustache parties and bananas that double as phone devices. Even pepperoni pizzas perfectly matched on turntables. Nothing is sacred – except the music. Although she hides her seriousness about the industry fairly well, the girl gets down behind the booth and more recently in the studio.

"CARNARVON, (or Caernarvon), a market town, port, municipal and parliamentary borough, in the parish of Llanbeblig, hundred of Is-Gorfai, in the county of Carnarvon, of which it is the chief town. It is 235 miles to the N.W. of London by road, or 240 miles by railway. It is a post town, and is now connected with the Chester and Holyhead, and with the London and North-Western railways, by a branch line of about 9 miles from Bangor. Carnarvon is pleasantly situated on the E. side of the Menai Strait, where the river Seiont falls into it. Close by is the site of the Roman station Segontium, the most important in North Wales, and which was also named Caer Custeint, or "fort of Constantine," and Caer-yn-Arvon, from its situation opposite to Mona, the Isle of Anglesey. Watling Street connected Segontium with Deva (Chester)." [From The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland (1868) - Transcribed by Colin Hinson ©2003]

It looked to be a year when the Carbon girls basketball could go undefeated. But on Tuesday night that all changed as the Lady Dinos traveled north over the Book Cliffs and into the Uintah Basin only to find an ambush waiting there. And it was the Lady Utes that did it as they scalped the Carbon kids 52-47 giving them the first loss of the season.
The 4-1 Lady Utes came out of the gates strong as they stayed with a very good Carbon team all through the first quarter and then took a lead in it as well ending the period with a 15-10 lead.
An aberration right? Well it seemed that way as the Lady Dinos streaked to a much better second period out scoring their opponents 15-6 and taking back the lead 25-21 at the half.
There, that was it, Carbon fans said to themselves. Carbon just had a bad quarter and will now beat up on this upstart team from Region 10.
But it wasn't to be that way. Uintah kept the Carbon scoring machine at bay all through the third quarter, holding the Lady Dinos to only 11 points while they gained one putting up 12. They were still behind, but they were on their home floor and they found that they could play with the third ranked team in the state quite well.
That confidence led to a very good final quarter for the Lady Utes and a disastrous one for the Carbon kids, who were outscored 19-11 and lost their lead about halfway through the period.
It was a bitter pill for Carbon fans that thought the team could run through the preseason undefeated.
Carbon was led in scoring by Morgan Warburton with 15 points, Maquette Potts with 11 and Halee Rasmussen with 10.
The team now comes home to a three game stand beginning with Wasatch High on Friday.

The Irish Vintage Farm Tractor Calendar 2013 is the first calendar of its kind to celebrate vintage tractors in Ireland.
The calendar shows photographs of Allis Chalmers, David Brown, Ferguson, Ford, Fordson, Massey Ferguson, and Ursus vintage tractors - the dominant names in the huge vintage movement and weekend vintage rallies which have taken up the social life of thousands of families throughout rural areas.
Peter O'Connell of Peter O'Connell Media, Dublin, who developed the calendar concept in conjunction with Michael Freeman of Three Sisters Press, said: "Hundreds of thousands of farmers and enthusiasts are now obsessed with the rural equivalent of Fifty Shades of Grey, what is dubbed 'tractor porn'.
"They lust after the workings of old wrecks of machines that may be lying derelict in yards, ditches , out on fields or in scrapyards and they rescue them and spend their spare time restoring them to their former beauty."
The Irish Vintage Farm Tractor Calendar 2013 will be sold for €9.99.

These slip-on mufflers produce an awesome, thundering bass rumble, yet they are quiet enough to pass the the cranky neighbor sound test.
But they do far more than just sound great. With their Tri-Oval design, with full-size, aluminum V-tips with dual exhaust ports these mufflers look like nothing else on the market. The round front seamlessly morphs to tri-oval shape at the rear. But it's the V-tip that gets the most attention.
The Tri-Oval mufflers also deliver increased performance gains over the stock mufflers, with a bump up especially in the low and mid-range. They are available in chrome.
The installation is simple, as the mufflers mount to stock head pipes.

Altos Las Hormigas - Malbec
Aromas de fruta roja molida, fruta negra y recuerdos de violeta e hinojo seco. Boca balanceada, con entrada suave, medio paladar firme y final largo y vibrante. Deja una sensación de precisión, enfoque y tipicidad.
Las Moras - Cabernet Sauvignon/Cabernet Franc Black Label
Montes - Cherub Rose of Syrah
Deep pink. Peppery red berry and cherry aromas are complemented by licorice and pungent herbs. Sappy and rich on the palate, offering powerful red berry and bitter cherry flavors and very finishing grip. This serious pink wine could stand up to strongly seasoned foods.
Torbreck - Woodcutter's Semillon
Fruit from both vineyards (split into four separate parcels) was handpicked and gently 'whole bunch' pressed to individual vats where they were left to settle. After 24 hours the younger blocks were racked to tank whilst the older more robust parcels were transferred to 6 year old French barriques where they underwent a long cool fermentation. The various components were later 'assembled' prior to bottling in November 2011.
Don Nicanor - Malbec
"A brilliant wine of deep red color with purple hues. The nose displays aromas of cherries, plums, cloves and vanilla, as well as a hint of smoke suggesting elegance and complexity. The mouth-feel is round and warm, balancing both fruit and spice. The finish is long and elegant. Pair with grilled or roasted beef or game meats, spicy sauces and mature cheeses." -Importer

Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
XXX Capri is the official website of hot Canadian pornstar, Capri. She's appeared on sites like Brazzers and Naughty America, so you may already be a fan of the beautiful brunette. Here members can enjoy an exclusive collection of scenes featuring Capri in a variety of delicious hardcore scenes.
Hot exclusive collection.
Capri's collection is a mix of hardcore action that includes guy-girl, girl-girl, and lesbian sex. Capri holds nothing back, in sweaty, passionate, cum-dripping scenes. Most of the material here is exclusive, with hot action you won't find anywhere else.
High quality collection.
Both the photos and the videos here look professional and high quality. Her images are big and beautiful. Her videos are a mix that includes hot 1280 x720 high definition scenes. It's a very sexy, very professional collection.
Other Good Stuff:
Very small site.
Capri's site has been online for four years so it really should be much larger than it is. There are just 51 galleries and 54 videos online. The galleries and videos are average in size and length, there just aren't enough of them online at this point.
No longer updating.
It's been six months since anything new has been added to Capri's site. While it's possible updates could pick up again, I wouldn't hold my breath. It appears updates have stopped permanently.
Not a lot of interaction with Capri.
Capri's site has a blog, but it mostly serves as a log of her shoots with other models. She's not updating it personally. There are no cam shows or really any other way to get to know the models.
Minor Negatives:
A hot archive of hardcore pornstar action with no sign of updates.
XXX Capri definitely offers up a hot hardcore collection. Capri looks fantastic in these high definition scenes and I loved the variety of action inside. The main issue is that the site seems completely inactive at this point, which doesn't bode well for the small collection. $30 a month is a lot to pay for this small site, though the multi-site access helps. All in all, it's a sexy site but there's just not enough going on.

Exempts receipts from the services provided by a farrier in shoeing a horse including reasonable fees for travel and shoeing a horse in a remote location on a farm.
Ayes (6): Marcellino, Alesi, Golden, Nozzolio, Zeldin, Diaz
Ayes W/R (2): Squadron, Peralta
TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the tax law, in relation to exempting the sale of farrier supplies and services from the sales and use taxes
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 adds a new Subdivision (gg) of Section 1115 of the Tax Law to exempt all farrier services from the sales tax.
PURPOSE & JUSTIFICATION: To clarify the sales tax law to specify that farrier services provided to commercial horse boarding operations are exempt from sales tax.
In 2000, sales tax relief was provided to farm-related purchases including commercial horse boarding operations. The existing Tax Law is confusing and open to interpretation as to what services are or are not taxable for horse boarding. Raising of horses is a growing and vital part of agriculture in New York State and removing the sales tax from farrier services will remove any confusion from the law and make New York a more friendly state for the horse business.
EXISTING LAW: A sales tax exemption is granted for horse instruction, training and showing, and a tax exemption is given for the horseshoes or nails; but the farrier service of caring for the hooves, preparing and nailing shoes, is taxable.
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2009-10 - S.2984 -- INVESTIGATIONS 2008 - S.2329/A.2391 -- RULES/Ways & Means 2007 - S.2329/A.2391 -- PASSED SENATE/Ways & Means 2006 - S.3927-A/A.3071-A -- PASSED SENATE/Ways & Means 2005 - S.3927/A.3071-A - INVESTIGATIONS/Ways & Means 2003/04 - S.6530/A./A.10996 - PASSED SENATE/Ways & Means
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: To be determined.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect April 1 of the year next succeeding date of enactment and shall apply to sales made and uses occurring on or after such date.
STATE OF NEW YORK ________________________________________________________________________ 3194 2011-2012 Regular Sessions IN SENATE February 11, 2011 ___________Introduced by Sens. RANZENHOFER, LARKIN, MAZIARZ -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Investigations and Government Operations AN ACT to amend the tax law, in relation to exempting the sale of farri- er supplies and services from the sales and use taxes THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Section 1115 of the tax law is amended by adding a new subdivision (gg) to read as follows: (GG) SERVICES RENDERED BY FARRIER, DEFINED AS A PROFESSIONAL EQUINE HOOFCARE EXPERT AND SHOER OF HORSES, IN THE SHOEING OF A HORSE, INCLUD- ING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY REASONABLE CHARGE IMPOSED BY A FARRIER FOR TRAVEL TO AND FROM A FARM OR FOR RENDERING SUCH SERVICES AT A REMOTE LOCATION ON A FARM, SHALL BE EXEMPT FROM TAXES UNDER THIS ARTICLE.

Star Entertainment
Kalado set to thrill fans at his Reggae Sumfest debut
Kalado - File
An appearance on internationally acclaimed music festival, Reggae Sumfest, is every artiste's dream, and for a dancehall act, his sights are firmly fixed on Dancehall Night to show off his skills.
Come July 17, Pree Money singer, Kalado, will have his moment with the stars as he makes his official debut at the festival's home in Catherine Hall, Montego Bay.
"Last year, Bounty Killer started the process when he called me on during his set and I did a little thing. Honestly, it lasted less than a minute, but it was a thrilling experience. The crowd response was very encouraging and it has definitely whet my appetite," the Alliance Next Generation (ANG) artiste, who is managed by Nancy Davis, said.
One year later, Kalado's profile is soaring and he has amassed a string of songs which have secured his rite of passage straight onto the Sumfest official line-up. Songs such as Personally, Good Good - which is heading towards anthemic status - Body Nuh Dead, Make Me Feel and Take a Ride are all part of the entertainer's steadily increasing repertoire which is currently blazing the dancehall.
The overseas market is also feeling the full force of Kalado, as demonstrated by his visit to Toronto in May, when he headlined his own show at the capacity-filled Blue Diamond Club venue, in front of a very enthusiastic audience. A very ecstatic Kalado noted that he was impressed by the welcome he received in that Canadian city and admits that as a result of the love shown to him by the fans, he exited the stage "almost walking on air".

During a vist to Bagram Air Base - the nerve center of American operations in Afghanistan - CNN's Nick Paton Walsh takes a look at the sacrifices members of the U.S. military have made in America's longest war.
I lived in Afghanistan during the Taliban times with my husband and children. The changes brought about by the liberation of Kabul through the coalition forces, including the U.S., have made a huge difference in the lives of women, children, and the young generation of adults – all of whom know nothing but war. Now, it is time for the coalition to pull out – we accomplished what our nation set out to do, and it's up to the Afghans to work for peace within their own country. War is horrible, but it can and HAS accomplished good even in the midst of the atrocities which have occurred by BOTH sides – the coalition and the Taliban. There is so much good I write about it in http://www.about-afghanistan.com because everyone always seems to focus on so much negative, when MUCH has been accomplished to give the people the freedom, space, and peace with which to develop.
Tell me something, RSchaus, how much did the right-wing thugs in Washington pay you to post that mumbo-jumbo? I'm so sick and tired of hearing about how much "good" these forces did but what about the people they maimed and slaughtered over there? It's the same way with the Russians but I don't see anybody posting in here to glorify them!!!
Being here and talking to someone I love how what's supposed to be reported isn't and what's twisted is. It was explained that Faith was a what keeps us going, instead, it ended up being about sucide. Then it goes on to paint a picture about how people are having to do 3 to 5 tours and how some are turning to sucide. When in reality, the people serving that many tours are here because they love what they do. The people committing suicides are merely suffering from problems at home, family problems, relationship problems, but instead lets twist it around to make it sound like everyone is sick of the war. While many people would prefer to be home, they understand the mission, their duty to country and they remember 9-11 and how the taliban protected bin laden. The remember how they ruled this country and their people. I'm sorry, while it's nice to have the video of the base to give our loved ones a look at where were at, the message sucked.
The Taliban and their terrorist allies will soon be cut off from their incursions from Pakistan and bangash I hope you do not reside in areas near any crossing points. But if you do you are probably helping them in their killings one way or another.
D A N I am residing very much at border and see all which none of you can see therefore being a humanist cannot see this humiliation of humanity at the hands of USA and here on this page speak the truth so that further humiliation of humanity can be stopped. D A N for you this is just ten years US occupation of Afghanistan but for us it is third decade of US militarism in this region wherein we have lost every thing. For you it is a matter of business while for us it is a matter of our lives and we see that US militarism has destroyed our homes, towns and our states. For us you are nothing more then a baby killers as you have been killing our babies in drone attacks and through your brain child Alqaida have pushed our youngsters into your death games in this region. D A N you cannot understand this reality as you are a part of right-wing thugs and for you it is a matter of business and livelihood. We are fed up of wars in any form therefore wish to see immediate end to bloodshed either through Taliban or anyone else. You cannot deny that you are the creater of militancy in this region and you are actively supporting Taliban fighting Pakistan and thus you are the main force behind baby killing therefore all of us here now wish to see your burial on Afghan soil so that we all could get rid of this three decades long baby killing.
So we are not only fighting the taliban in Afghanistan but also supporting them in Pakistan HUH? The taliban and their terrorist allies are also trying to bring down Pakistan's government also! THEY ALL ARE JUST THUGS KILLING FOR POWER!
Calling baby killing in Afghanistan and Pakistan, US sacrifices, expose US agenda in this region, therefore public here now see greater justification in rising against US sponsored Baby killing in this region. This rising hate USA eanrned through militarry adventures during last three decades under different names to cheat American nation by terming it as their sacrifices which Americans as a nation have rejected by voting against wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and today 70% condemn war mongers in Pentagon. No further cheating as it is right wing busines and death merchandise wherein ultimate losers are American nation. George Patton and USMC Forever to see right wing real face but D A N has closed eyes like Ostrich.
Let no one forget that the Russians too made many sacrifices in Afghanistan and took many casualties but this the right-wing news media never talks about. They only talk about the NATO sacrifices still trying to make them out to be the very heroes they're not any more than the Russians were. On the other hand, they attribute many atrocities to the Russians whether they are true or not!!! Enough of this biased reporting, please!!!!
Thank you, George. I too know just how biased the right-wing media is, trying to make heroes out of the NATO forces while back in the 1980's they wasted no time in villifying the Russians. Neither scenario is true. Even CBS is quite biased about this obscene war as I watched much to my disgust Friday evening as they touted what we were doing there. One would have to read a Mexican newspaper just to get the straight facts about this cursed war!
The angels of God will bring justice to all who kill others to regain power where the vast majority do not want taliban rule, WHY don't you put down your arms and talk peace! And tell me if you think God will be with those who kill peace makers?
Hopefully D.A.N., the angels of God will intervene and somehow persuade the NATO forces to vacate Afghanistan the way they're morally obligated to do. After all, He sent Joan of Arc to help the French break the siege of Orleans, France back in 1428. The Afghans need a similar miracle and how!!!
since when is US begging Pakistan to save its neck? the use of "bomb proof bunkers" is complementary or akin to the use of "bombs.", additionally like "hiding in mountain tops". since when is taliban dwelling in the mountainous regions of pakistan and afghanistan any better?
Most of Pakistani's do not want the Taliban or it's terrorist allies to roam free in Pakistan and commit all the murders they do there let alone cross over to Afghanistan and kill people to gain power there also! All you crazy Islamic radicals kill, bomb and terrorize people just to control the people of both countries! If you and all the terrorists who bomb buses, put bombs in your turbans to kill people who are trying to bring peace to the region or just because of your hatred of the way others live and begin to talk out your grievances like normal humans and not be killing like animals do maybe you will see peace in your lifetime, But with the way you behave towards both governments you all should be caged like animals!!!
well its simply asking the US to attack/weed out taliban members. i have argued as well why boarders between afghanistan and pakistan allow the transfer of taliban and al quaida, why not block it US? but asking pakistan to weed out taliban/al quaida is better than the US invading pakistan. many pakistani government people have publically declared their push to rid certain areas of taliban and al quaida. the US doesn't have full trust in pakistan. The us has funded pakistan, and it is known that large portions of these groups come from pakistan or are pakistani. if the US cannot make sure that the Pakistanis are on their side, then why?
the US goal was not to rid pakistan of terrorism, it was to rid afghanistan. the US will NOT get the cooperation of pakistan to invade and attack mountainous regions, as you can clearly see after what happened with Osama. Pakistan will "make sure" they are on top of things. in fact, look how pakistan blocked nato route last year. for sure, Pakistan will not put up with US fighting side it's country at that level: it would take a long time. and also, pakistan is home to many mountains, and crevices where it is easy to camp out. Pakistan up-plays its responsibility on the media, and yes, it has dedicated a lot to these wars, but how much is going on between ISI, pakistan government and these groups is largely unknown. it is not a cowardly thing to tell a country to fufill what their politicians aspire. how can they trust pakistan after osama? after the time square bomber? the Pakistani government unfortunately has a history of assisting certain groups, like I posted before. Also, the current state of pakistan and afghanistan is different. Firmly, i doubt pakistani government would allow US to come and start fighting in their mountains. Also, my guess is many fighters are not in pakistan as in afghanistan, because of their resistance. The US will not expand unless they need to. i don't think it is worth doing the job all over the middleeast. they solidified their being in afghanistan, and many afhgnaistanis agree, in opposition to taliban rule.
Your country doesn't deserve US aid.

Stage is a world at CLU's theater
Bard's 'Pericles' is well-acted and creatively mounted
Shakespeare's romantic drama is playing through Sunday at the Black Box Studio Theatre in California Lutheran University's Theatre Arts Department building on campus, 60 W. Olsen Road, Thousand Oaks. 8 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. $10. For information or tickets, call 493-3416.
It plays a lot like the Perils of Pericles, with its crises and escapes coming fast and furious.
Shakespeare's "Pericles, Prince of Tyre," popular in its day and more recently hitting the boards in London and New York to some acclaim, throws the Bard's shipwrecks and survivals, lost and found loves, tyranny and justice into a blender and salts it with royalty, servants, fishermen and a bordello.
In other words, it could be called a typical Shakespeare work, except that the more memorable ones have stronger characterization, more concise plots and lines that endure for the ages.
Yet there's something about the adventure of producing a play that few if any in the audience have ever seen and fleshing out its resonance with contemporary life that makes it a perfect fit for a university project. California Lutheran University not only brings that literary zest, spearheaded by director and theater professor Michael J. Arndt, but superior technical work beginning with the sparse but inspired thrust stage setting by its new theater arts design professor Nate Sinnott. Supported by an artful costume crew, excellent manipulation of lights and sound and a mood-appropriate score by composer Chris Hoag, the sounds and sights of the play lift the entire proceedings into a rare theatrical experience.
The handsome multilevel stage is dotted with boxes of varying sizes, related to each other by their decorative molding and glowing interior lights that change with the moods and passions of the tale. A few sturdy tables and chairs are brought in briefly and just as efficiently removed without interrupting the flow of the action. A narrow balcony at the back of the stage serves as space for a few brief scenes, and is well-used to spotlight individuals lining its width as plot developments are noted. The style is beautiful simplicity energized by sharp technical skills, and it gives the players a fascinating and functional support for their roles. More than 75 student are listed as assisting with the set construction.
Freshman Jordan Stidham fits comfortably into the title role, making Prince Pericles an earnest man of action who manages to scramble out of bad situations with sure-footed ease. Most of the other actors double as members of the ensemble, playing courtiers, courtesans, seamen, rulers and connivers, and some play multiple roles requiring swift changes of costume and attack. Pericles first meets the King of Antioch in an effort to win his daughter by solving a riddle, then realizing the shame in the solution decides instead to return to Tyre. Ryan Capriccio, who plays the imperious Antiochus in the opening scenes returns late in the play as Pandar, the all-business partner in the bordello.
T.J. Alvarado, who first appears as Cleon, the noble governor of the famine-enduring Tarsus, then becomes a fisherman, and finally Pericles' host at one of the final stops.
The most vivid character change is achieved by Alex Colello, who is the lively King Simonides, whose daughter Thaisa Pericles marries then loses at sea, and later the bent-over, sly servant intent on carrying out orders to defile Marina, daughter of Pericles and Thaisa. The girl has been thrown into the bordello by Cleon's wife Dionyza, who feels her own daughter has been pushed aside in favor of Marina, left with them as a baby by our hero as he ventured forth again.
Among those playing single roles impressively are Amanda Wallace as the evil Dionyza, Kayla Bailey as the lovely and devoted Thaisa, Kelly Derouin as the strong-willed Marina, and Megan Cordero as the faithful courtier Helicanus. But it really isn't fair to single out the actors when the dignity and strength of the entire ensemble adds power to the play.
Highly effective scenes include the battles in the court of Antioch, in which men seeking the hand of the princess are poised on large boxes at either side of the stage and pushed toward the center by the multi-tasking ensemble until they symbolically triumph. Enacted in slow motion, the battles become all the more memorable. Applause, too, is earned by the multiple hands that ripple the turbulent sea, a silky stretch of soft and flowing fabric, and who also hold it tightly when the figure of the goddess Diana rises in dark silhouette from inside the cocoon to offer direction to Pericles. Jessica Butenschon plays Diana, plus Antiochus's wife and daughter.
"Pericles" the play may not grip you, but the evocative staging is bound to rivet your attention. Thursday night's opening performance also featured Arndt as the scene-setter and narrator John Gower, a 14th-century poet and contemporary of Chaucer whose telling of the tale was the source on which "Pericles" is based.

Comprehensive Epilepsy Program
600 8th Street South, Suite A
St Petersburg, Florida 33701-4730
Epilepsy is not a rare condition, and can affect almost anyone. In fact, most people know someone who has epilepsy. If you or a loved one is living with epilepsy or a seizure disorder, you are not alone. Epilepsy and seizure disorders affect nearly 2.5 million people in the United States. Epilepsy is as prevalent as Type I diabetes, and more common than Parkinsons disease and Multiple Sclerosis combined. Fortunately, advances in the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy are enabling individuals with epilepsy to lead healthy, active lives.
Bayfront Medical Center is committed to providing the highest level of care to individuals living with Epilepsy and seizure disorders. Bayfronts Comprehensive Epilepsy Program is a Level IV epilepsy center. The program is led by nationally-recognized, Erasmo A. Passaro, M.D., and offers state-of-the-art diagnosis, evaluation, medical treatment, surgical treatment, and on-going support. Bayfronts premier program is the only one of its kind in Pinellas County, and one of only five, Level IV regional epilepsy referral centers in Florida (the highest designation of the National Association of Epilepsy Centers)
The Bayfront Approach
Our goal at Bayfront is to accurately diagnose and classify the seizure or epilepsy type. We want to make the patient and family feel comfortable, and to teach them about their condition. Because epilepsy can affect every aspect of a person's life-physical, emotional, social and psychological-we also address the non-medical needs of the patient and family. In addition to exploring the patient's symptoms, it is necessary to address their concern about the long-term use of anti-epileptic drugs and the effects of a chronic disorder. Counseling and education are important facets of our high quality care.
Patient and Family Centered Care
A patient's history and prior medical records are carefully reviewed in detail. Diagnostic studies are also used to classify the seizure or epilepsy type. At Bayfront, we feel that the care of patients with epilepsy should reflect the perspective of the patient. We encourage patients and family to play an active role in selecting and implementing a treatment plan. Once an accurate diagnosis is made, we can offer a variety of treatment options.
The Bayfront Epilepsy Program
Brochure: http://epicareflorida.com/doc/BMC_epilepsy_brochure_05.pdf
The Bayfront Epilepsy Program meets and exceeds the guidelines of a LEVEL IV epilepsy center as designated by the National Association of Epilepsy Centers (NAEC). It is only one of five LEVEL IV epilepsy centers in the state of Florida and the only one of its kind in Pinellas County.
Patients benefit from a multi-disciplinary team of experiences specialists including an epileptologist, Erasmo A. Passaro, MD who is one of a few board certified epilepsy specialists in Florida and the only one in Pinellas County. Our team also includes Kirk W. Jobe, MD an epilepsy neurosurgeon who has performed over 100 epilepsy surgery procedures, a board certified neuropsychologist with greater than 10 years experience in evaluating and treating patients with epilepsy.

We still have to do some shakedown flights to make sure there are no squawks to our/your Debonair, and that all the new avionics talk to each other the way they should. But now that the panel installation is complete, I felt like I just HAD to share this photo with you.
Pat Horgan and his staff at Santa Fe Aero Services have done a great job in time-travelling this airpane's panel from 1963 to 2013. I can't wait to go up on the calibration flights for the Electronics International MVP-50P engine/systems analyzer. That should happen later today or early tomorrow. Soon, the airplane will be pulled out of the hangar. Then its Aspen dual AHRS units will be tested and the heading algnments synchronized. Oh, and the magnetic compass will also be swung at this time.
So, even though it isn't powered up quite yet, get a load of this.

Serve FTP with Python and PyFilesystem
Ben Timby has committed code to PyFilesystem that lets you expose any filesystem over FTP. We've had the ability to serve filesystems over SFTP (secure ftp) and XMLRPC for a while, but plain old FTP was a glaring omission–until now.
You can serve the current directory programatically with something like the following:
from fs.expose.ftp import serve_fs from fs.osfs import OSFS serve_fs(OSFS('.'), '127.0.0.1', 21)
The same functionality is also available to the fsserve command. The following is equivalent to the above code, but from the command line:
fsserve -t ftp .
You'll probably need root privileges (i.e. sudo) on Linux for these examples.
With the server running, you can browse the files on your home directory with an ftp client, or by typing "ftp://127.0.0.1" in to your browser. Any of the other supported filesystems can be served in the same way.
FTP has been around since the dawn of the internet, so just about any network enabled device will be able to access files exposed this way. It's a great way of creating a gateway to other filesystems. You could expose files stored on Amazon S3 for example.
You'll need to check out the latest code from SVN to try this out.
Update: Ben has posted more about this.
" RT @worrp: Proof of concept Riak-backed virtual filesystem - https://t.co/EagEcjU9 #riak #python #pyfilesystem /cc @willmcgugan // Cool "0
" Creating a virtual filesystem with #PyFilesystem http://is.gd/JF3X2t "0
Creating a Virtual Filesystem with Python (and why you need one)
If you are writing an application of any size, it will most likely require a number of files to run – files which could be stored in a variety of possible locations. Furthermore, you will probably want to be able to change the location of those files when debugging and testing. You may even want to store those files somewhere other than the user's hard drive.
Any engineer worth his salt will recognise that the file locations should be stored in some kind of configuration file and the code to read the files in question should be factored out so that it isn't just scattered at points where data is read or written. In this post I'll present a way of doing just that by creating a virtual filesystem with PyFilesystem.
You'll need the most recent version of PyFilesystem from SVN to run this code.
We're going to create a virtual filesystem for a fictitious application that requires per-application and per-user resources, as well as a location for cache and log files. I'll also demonstrate how to mount files located on a web server. Here's the code:
from fs.opener import fsopendir app_fs = fsopendir('mount://fs.ini', create_dir=True)
That's, all there is to it; two lines of code (one if you don't count the import). Obviously there is quite a bit going on under the hood here, which I'll explain below, but lets see what this code gives you…
app_fs object is an interface to a single filesystem that contains all the file locations our application will use. For example, the path
/user/app.ini references a per-user file, whereas
/resources/logo.png references a per application file. The actual physical location of the data is irrelevant because as far as your application is concerned the paths never change. This abstraction is useful because the real path for such files varies according to the platform the code is running on; Windows, Mac and Linux all have different conventions, and if you put your files in the wrong place, your app will likely break on one platform or another.
Here's how a per-user configuration file might be opened:
from ConfigParser import ConfigParser # The 'safeopen' method works like 'open', but will return an # empty file-like object if the path does not exist with app_fs.safeopen('/user/app.ini') as ini_file: cfg = ConfigParser() cfg.readfp(ini_file) # ... do something with cfg
The files in our virtual filesystem don't even have to reside on the local filesystem. For instance,
/live/ may actually reference a location on the web, where the version of the current release and a short 'message of the day' is stored.
Here's how the version number and MOTD might be read:
def get_application_version(): """Get the version number of the most up to date version of the application, as a tuple of three integers""" with app_fs.safeopen('live/version.txt') as version_file: version_text = version_file.read().rstrip() if not version_text: # Empty file or unable to read return None return tuple(int(v) for v in version_text.split('.', 3)) def get_motd(): """Get a welcome message""" with app_fs.safeopen("live/motd.txt") as motd_file: return motd_file.read().rstrip()
You'll notice that even though the actual data is retrieved over HTTP (the files are located here and here), the code would be no different if the files were stored locally.
So how is all this behaviour created from a single line of code? The line
fsopendir("mount://fs.ini", create_dir=True) opens a MountFS from the information contained within an INI file (
create_dir=True will create specified directories if they don't exist). Here's an example of an INI file that could be used during development:
The INI file is used to construct a MountFS, where the keys in the
[fs] section are the top level directory names and the values are the real locations of the files. In above example,
/user/ maps on to a directory called
user relative to the current directory – but it could be changed to an absolute path or to a location on a server (e.g. FTP, SFTP, HTTP, DAV), or even to a directory within a zip file.
You can change the section to use in a mount opener by specifying it after a # symbol, i.e. mount://fs.ini#mysection
There are a few changes to this INI file we will need to make when our application is ready for release. User data, site data, logs and cache all have canonical locations that are derived from the name of the application (and the author on Windows). PyFilesystem contains handy openers for these special locations. For example,
appuser://examplesoft:myapp detects the appropriate per-user data location for an application called "myapp" developed by "examplesoft". Ditto for the other per-application directories. e.g.:
/live/ path is different in that it needs to point to a web server:
Of course, you don't need to use the canonical locations. For instance, let's say you want to store all your static resources in a zip file. No problem:
Or you want to keep your user data on a SFTP (Secure FTP) server:
Perhaps you don't want to preserve the cache across sessions, for security reasons. The
temp opener creates files in a temp directory and deletes them on close:
Although, if you are really paranoid you can store the cache files in memory without ever writing them to disk:
Setting /user/ to mem:// is a useful way of simulating a fresh install when debugging.
I hope that covers why you might need – or at least want – a virtual file system in your application. I've glossed over some the details and other features of PyFilesystem. If you would like more information, see my previous posts, check out the documentation or join the PyFilesystem discussion group.

Sneak Preview of New Features in PyFilesystem 0.4
There have been some pretty exciting developments in PyFilesystem since version 0.3 was released – Ryan Kelly and myself have been hard at work, and there have been a number of excellent contributions to the code base from other developers. Version 0.4 will be released some time in January, but I'd like to give you a preview of some new features before the next version lands.
Pyfilesystem is a Python module that provides a simplified common interface to many types of filesystem.
It is now possible to open any of the supported filesystems from a URL in this format, which makes it very easy to specify a filesystem (or individual file) from the command line or a config file. Here's a quick example that opens a bunch of quite different filesystems:
from fs.opener import fsopendir projects_fs = fsopendir('/projects') zip_fs = fsopendir('zip:///foo/bar/baz.zip') ftp_fs = fsopendir('ftp://ftp/mozilla.org') sftp_fs = fsopendir('sftp://example.org')
If you used Pyfilesystem in your application you could trivially change where your files are physically located, or where you save generated files to.
You can also open a file directly without the need to explicitly open the filesystem it is contained within, with the
fsopen function, e.g.:
from fs.opener import fsopen print fsopen('zip:///foo/bar/baz.zip!dir/somefile.txt').read() print fsopen('ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/README').read()
fsopen is very similar to the builtin
open method and will return a file-like object of some kind. In fact, if you pass in a system path it works as
open would (although the exceptions will be an instance of
fs.errors.FSError rather than
Because of this similarity with the builtin,
fsopen could be used to shadow
open, and instantly add the ability for an application to open files on mediums other than a system drive. This is all it takes:
from fs.opener import fsopen as open
FS Commands
Version 0.4 also adds a number of applications that mirror some of the standard command line apps, but extend their functionality with FS URLs. For example,
fsls, functions just like the
ls command, but works with any of the supported filesystems:
will@will-linux:~$ fsls .
will@will-linux:~$ fsls zip://myzip
will@will-linux:~$ fsls ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub
will@will-linux:~$ fsls sftp://user:firstname.lastname@example.com/home/will
You can also copy and move files between filesystems with
fscp and
fsmv, which work in a very similar manner to their
cp and
mv counterparts, with a few extensions such as multi-threaded copying (great for network filesystems) and an ascii progress bar. The following example copies all the
.py files in my
projects directory to zip file on an ftp server, and displays an progress bar to boot.
will@will-linux:~$ fscp ~/projects/*.py zip:ftp://will:firstname.lastname@example.com/backups/code.zip
Then there is the
fscat command that writes a file in a filesystem to the terminal. The following example displays a python file in the zip file that we created with the previous command:
will@will-linux:~$ fscat zip:ftp://will:email@example.com/backups/code.zip!pythonrocks.py
The other commands
fsrm and
fstree work as you may expect.
fsserve command adds the ability to serve any of the supported filesystems over a number of protocols. The default is to serve
http – in effect creating a webserver. The following is all it takes to serve the contents of your current working directory:
will@will-linux:~$ fsserve
Now if you point your browser at http://127.0.0.1 you will see a web-page with the contents of your current working directory (or a index.html file if present). It's not the most bullet-proof of web servers, but handy if you quickly want to serve some files. Naturally,
fsserve works with any filesystem you pass to it. You could, for instance, serve the contents of a zip file without ever explicitly unzipping it, or create an ftp to http gateway by serving an ftp filesystem. The following command creates a ftp to http gateway for
will@will-linux:~$ fsserve ftp://ftp.mozilla.org
You also have the option of serving a filesystem over SFTP (Secure FTP), or by RPC (Remote Procedure Call). Either of these two methods expose all the functionality of the remote filesystem, so you could run a server on one machine and create/move/copy/delete files from another machine on the network (or internet). For example, the following would serve the current working directory on localhost, port 3000:
will@will-linux:~$ fsserve -t rpc -p 3000
You can then connect to that server from another machine on the network. Assuming my local IP is
192.168.1.64 the following would display the directory structure from another machine on my network:
will@will-linux:~$ fstree rpc://192.168.1.64:3000
Any of the filesystems can be mounted on the OS with the
fsmount command, which uses FUSE on Linux or DOKAN on Windows. The advantage of this is that the filesystems exposed in Python can be used in any application, and browsed with Explorer or Nautilus. The following creates a ram drive on Linux:
will@will-linux:~$ fsmount mem:// mem
Or on Windows:
C:\> fsmount mem:// M
Get the Code
There is no documentation online for the new features as yet, but if you are a brave soul and want to experiment with any of the above commands then download the code from SVN and run
python setup.py install. The command line apps all have a
-h which which displays help on the various options.
Bear in mind that these commands are still somewhat experimental, and some of these commands have the capacity to delete files – so be careful. That said, I'm confident to use them for my day-to-day work.
Please see the projects page page if you want to report bugs or discuss Pyfilesystem with myself and the other developers.

PyFilesystem 0.3 released
I am pleased to announce a new version of PyFilesystem (0.3), which is a Python module that provides a common interface to many kinds of filesystem. Basically it provides a way of working with files and directories that is exactly the same, regardless of how and where the file information is stored. Even if you don't plan on working with anything other than the files and directories on your hard-drive, PyFilesystem can simplify your code and reduce the potential of error.
PyFilesystem is a joint effort by myself and Ryan Kelly, who has created a number of new FS implementations such as Amazon S3 support and Secure FTP, and some pretty cool features such as FUSE support and Django storage integration.
As an example of how awesome this package is, take a look at the following 6 lines of code, which creates a ramdrive:
from fs.osfs import OSFS from fs.memoryfs import MemoryFS from fs.expose import fuse home_fs = OSFS('~/') home_fs.makedir('ramdrive', allow_recreate=True) fuse.mount(MemoryFS(), home_fs.getsyspath('ramdrive'))
If you run this, a directory called
ramdrive will appear in your home folder, the contents of which are stored purely in memory.
I prepared a screencast that gives a quick demonstration of some features – because if a picture is worth a thousand words, this video must be worth fifteen thousand words a second:
PyFilesystem screencast from Will McGugan on Vimeo.
See the project page on google code for more information, including API docs. There are also a couple of blog posts that will give a some more context.
This release has reached a good level of stability and maturity. I'd like to invite as many Pythonistas as possible to check out this module and possibly contribute to the project.
So what can you do with FS anyway?
After my last post regarding FS, my file-system abstraction layer for Python, I think I may have left people thinking,"that's nice, but what would you use if for?". Generally, I see it as a way of simplifying file access and exposing only the files you need for your application -- regardless of their physical source. But I can think of a few other uses that may be a littler cooler.
Instant Archive Format
The osfs.MemoryFS class is a filesytem that exists only in memory. You can create files / directories and copy files to it from other filesystem objects, but when you open a file you will get back a StringIO object (from the standard library). Naturaly the files in a MemoryFS are transitory, but as everything is in memory, file access is very fast. I was thinking that since the files and directories are stored as simple Python objects, then a MemoryFS can be pickled -- creating an instant archive format. Uncompressing this archive would simply require unpicking and using the resultant object. I can't see any advantages of this over zip or tar archives, but if you don't have them available, this would be a workable substitute!
Database Filesystem
It wouldn't be particularly challenging to write an FS an object that created a filesystem on a database. Actualy, if using an ORM like SQLAlchemy, SQLObject, Storm or Django's database layer it would be fairly trivial. So what would you use such a thing for? I can think of one use which may make it worth the effort, and that is the ability to store templates for a Python web application in the database, rather than (or in addition to) files. Consider if you will, a situation where the client has requested a change that is absolutely critical to the success of his company and he won't take "it will be in the next release" for an answer, and neither will your project manager. Wouldn't it be nice if you could go in to the Django admin pages and just type in the changes, without making a new release. I'm tempted to implement such a thing, if nobody has done so already!
Proxying a Filesystem
A generic filesystem server could be written that exposes a remote file-system over whatever channel is available. I know there are some standard ways of doing this, but they might not be available on a given platform. I'm thinking of small devices with limited capabilities, or secure environments. The server would serve an FS object, and the client would present the app with a corresponding interface that pulled files and directories over the wire.
There you go. If anyone implements these, let me know!
Announcing FS 0.1.0, a Python file-system
This is something I have been hacking together for a while now; FS is a file-system abstraction for Python. It has reached a stable state and is worthy of an official (0.1.0) release.
First, a brief history of the project. A while back, I was working mainly with desktop applications in wxPython. I found that I had a number of sources for files; there were read-only resources such as images, per-user files and per-installation config files. The location of these files would change depending on whether I was debugging or building a release version. The logic required to manage all this was pretty ugly and error-prone. So I wrote a collection of classes to bring all these disparate locations for files under a single virtual file-system. For example, to open a config file I could just read 'user/settings.cfg', and to open an image resource I could just read from 'resources/logo.png' and the virtual file-system would do the right thing and return a file-like object.
This turned out to be insanely useful, and I used it for a number of projects. I also used it while working for ICC, and I had the opportunity to enhance it based on feedback from colleagues. In the last few months I have re-written it from scratch, because I wanted to avoid any copyright issues, but mainly because I could make a better job of it the second time around.
