Skateboard knee pads are essential to protecting your body from skateboarding wipeouts. Knee pads are more lightweight than ever, providing you the flexibility and protection you need when skateboarding.
Skateboard knee pads should not restrict movement. With the skateboard pads on, test your range of motion by bending the leg at the knee, watching for restriction. In order to properly measure yourself for knee pads, follow these steps:
1. Wrap a soft tape measure around the center of your knee. Measure around your outstretched leg, either at the middle of your knee (C), at the top (A) or at the bottom of your leg where the pad will rest(B).
2. If you do not have a flexible tape measure, try marking a string and measuring it against a ruler.
Check out our selection of skateboard knee pads.

I'm not exactly a Clyde, but am 5'10.5" and about 215 pounds, and sit hard on the saddle.
Numb nuts is the order of the day for long rides, and I'm considering either the Max Flite Gel Flow or the Vintage 1990.
I'm curious if the Vintage is really as comfortable as the reviews say, specifically for perineum relief and jewelry damage. It looks basic, which is fine, although the Gel Flow might look good on the Mojo SL as well.
In the past, I'd considered the Adamo Peak, but it's heavy, and doesn't look like a good match for the Mojo.
I do a mix of road and trail, and in the warmer weather, like to do 50-75 miles per week.
Any suggestions?

when should i start bedtime routine?
Comments (9)
Hello - we started one right around 3 weeks actually and he's 5 wks now! It's different then a "schedule" but a routine - it doesn't always go as you plan and I never expect him to be asleep by a certain time, but use the routine to help get him ready for more of a schedule down the road. My LO usually sleeps in the evening (nap) around out dinner time and is back awake around 8 pm give or take. This is when I start his bedtime routine and he's asleep for his longest sleep stretch by 10 or 11 pm.
We start with a bath and then afterwards I use lavendar lotion and give LO a massage. We dim the lights throughout the house and try to be a little more quiet. I EBF so at some point I nurse him and rock him to sleep. Sometimes he's down by 9, sometimes 10 or 11. It just depends. I never expect anything in particular and use his cues to guide me when he wants to eat and finally go to sleep.
IMO, I don't think it's too early to start a bedtime routine. And by doing this each night, I believe my LO is finally starting to switch his days and nights. :) Good Luck!

He's 3.5 weeks old. Hes usually asleep by 10:30-11:30 and wakes up between 3-4am for his next feeding/diaper change.
we bath in the morning (have a big morning routine). have a massage, gets dressed, usually tops and pants, then have a play.
he only wears onsie full suits at night time. so we change his diaper, change his clothes and turn the lights on real low, turn down the TV and have a realy long relaxing quiet feed, then hes pretty much asleep.
i started this around 3 weeks and now he is almost 5 weeks and is fully settled into it. never too early to start i reckon

Tuesday night Houston played Marshall on ESPN. Like you, I didn't much care about the result of the game.
I care even less after seeing this gruesome injury. The HOUSTON CHRONICLE has the sad details after the jump, along with video.
Cougar wideout Patrick Edwards was the person on the receiving end of a horrific, yet preventable leg injury. (MOVE THE TROLLEY DUMBA$$.)
Edwards, just a freshman from Hearne, TX, was having a nice season, especially for a first-year player, when he ran into a cart behind the end zone.
The Chronicle reports:
Edwards, running out of the end zone as he tried to track down a long pass from Blake Joseph, ran into a band equipment cart that for reasons that remain unclear were parked just beyond the out-of-bounds line. The impact, captured by ESPN's cameras, caused a compound fracture of Edwards' right leg.
Cougars' coach Kevin Sumlin said that while he had "his opinions" on the subject, he would offer no comment on such a dangerous situation. University of Houston athletics director Dave Maggard said he will pursue the subject with Marshall officials.
"It was duly noted and I think we'll save the conversation for another day," Maggard said. "I don't think there is any question that it is a problem. We all noticed it, and we want to find out why something like that would occur. It was a serious injury, no question about it."
The injuries cast a pall over what had already been a gloomy evening.
Not much you can do if you're Houston at this point. Edwards, on the other hand, is likely to be lawyered-up in short order.

G7: Greece should remain in euroComment on this story
The Group of Seven industrialised economies said it was in "all our interests" for Greece to remain in the euro zone while respecting its international bailout commitments.
"We welcome the commitment of the euro area to work in partnership with the next Greek government to ensure they remain on the path to reform and sustainability within the euro area," the G7 also said in a statement on Sunday.
The statement was issued after Greek political parties which back the international bailout of the country won a slim parliamentary majority in elections. - Reuters

"In 10 words or lesswhat's the single most important thing you want to say?" I ask a very smart marketing exec. She's trying to sharpen a critical presentation.
"We're dedicated," she says, "to customer-centric, results-driven, streamlined solutions."
"Me too," I say. "Who wouldn't be? But what exactly does it mean?"
"Solve customer problemsfast," she says.
Good. That's a message.
Do you know your main message? If you don't, your audience won't either.
You can develop your message with key points. Example: solve customer problems fast by 1) hiring the best reps, 2) being available 24/7. . . 10) speaking really, really quickly.
But key points are not the main message.
Let's assume your audience is thinking about 1,000 thingsfor example, food (what to eat; when to eat; with whom & where; what's already been eaten; what else could be eaten; how much food is reasonable for one person to actually consume in a day; is it ever a mistake to skip breakfast?)and will immediately forget almost everything you say.
What's the one thing you want them to remember?
That's your main message. And while there's no reason for your main message to be a snappy ad slogan, still, we can learn a lot from snappy ad slogans.
1) Use plain English. "When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight," promised FedEx.
The "absolutely, positively" part sounds like a real human being, worried about a real package.
FedEx could have used those 10 words from before ("Relax. We're dedicated to customer-centric, results-driven, streamlined solutions").
But that would have caused widespread panic.
2) Focus on one thing. Compare these two slogans from Wal-Mart:
a) "Always the low price. Always."
b) "Save $. Live better."
I like the first. A main message is one thing, not two or three. And I really like the repetitive "always."
For the same reason, "Sheer driving pleasure" (BMW) beats "Power, Beauty and Soul" (Aston Martin). Power, beauty and soul add up to three abstractionsthat's a laundry list, not a car.
3) Be concise. The best slogans from the past 100 years are under 10 words. Consider:
Avis: "We try harder."
Wendy's: "Where's the beef?"
Apple: "Think different." And before Apple, the motto at IBM was simply, "Think."
A short message is like Lite Beer from Miller: "Everything you always wanted . . . And less."
Tip: Know your main message. Then, make sure your audience does too.

I am wondering how can I change the cite key when you import.
And, change the cite key to be non-user-specific
Hi Jake,
I am wondering how can I change the cite key when you import.
And, change the cite key to be non-user-specific
For import and export, the generation of cite keys is controlled by a combination of global and user-specific settings. By default, the cite keys that are present in your import file (e.g. BibTeX keys) will be honoured. And they will get written to the user-specific 'cite_key' field. In addition, these cite keys will be used to generate a personal identifier string for this record in the 'call_Number' field.
That said, you can change this behaviour so that refbase ignores file-specific (or user-specific) cite keys on import/export and instead uses its global setting to autogenerate the keys. Here's how:
If you're logged in as a refbase user, click on the "Options" link in the upper right corner of the screen, then click on the "edit options" icon that's displayed to the right of the "Display Options" label. Now scroll down to the bottom of the displayed page. Note that, by default, the "Import/Export Options" are set like this:
Include or generate cite keys
Auto-generate cite keys for:
( ) all records
(o) records with empty 'Cite Key' (ID) field
Now click the radio button next to "all records", i.e. use these settings instead:
Include or generate cite keys
Auto-generate cite keys for:
(o) all records
( ) records with empty 'Cite Key' (ID) field
This will always auto-generate cite keys on import/export according to the global setting (defined by variable '$defaultCiteKeyFormat' in file 'initialize/ini.inc.php'). Thus the cite keys will be "non-user-specific".
You can also specify this behavior as the default behavior for new users by setting 'prefer_autogenerated_cite_keys' to "yes" in variable '$defaultUserOptions' (file 'initialize/ini.inc.php').
In addition to the above, by unchecking the checkbox next to "Include or generate cite keys" you could also tell refbase to generate no cite keys on import/export at all. This, in turn, will cause Bibutils (which is used for many export formats) to generate cite keys according to its own formatting rules.
W.r.t. changing the format of the auto-generated cite keys, see the refbase online documentation which offers more info about the available placeholders and their syntax:
Let us know if you have further questions.
Thank you so much for your help!
One more thing, is there a syntax for initials of first three authors, and initial for publication?
I tried <:abbrevJournal:> in the custom format of cite key, but did not work very well..
And, for cite key
is there any way that i can make it globalized, which means same to all group members even though I change it. (Like call number and serial)
I want my group members to sort the papers by cite key, which i made
is there a syntax for initials of first three authors, and initial for publication?
I'm not sure I understand. By "initials", do you mean the first letters of the author/publication names? Or, in case, of authors, do you mean the first letters of the author's firstnames?
It may be helpful if you could give us a few examples for typical cite keys that you'd like to generate.
And if you have a specific workflow in mind, feel free to describe this in more detail. This may also help us to provide better advice.
Thanks, Matthias
so if the author= Robert, Watson, and Fillip ( which are last names)
the cite key can generate RWF (can i make syntax like this?)
for cite key is there any way that i can make it globalized, which means same to all group members even though I change it.
S you'd like to edit the cite key in your user-specific 'cite_key' field and have this key then made available globally so that all other users can see this, right? I fear this isn't possible since refbase's user-specific fields are truly user-specific and (ATM) cannot be shared. Sorry.
I want my group members to sort the papers by cite key, which i made
I see. Is there any chance that you could come up with a suitable cite key pattern that could be generated automatically by refbase? If keys could be auto-generated (instead of being added/edited manually), you could use the workflow described in my original reply. Otherwise, I don't see how this could be done using the default refbase version (i.e. without hacking the code somehow).
That said, if you just want your other group members to be able to sort records on your curated cite keys, you could also use a "poor-mans" workaround: Simply copy your edited cite key into a field that isn't used by your group for other purposes. The 'area' or 'expedition' fields may be good candidates for this. The field labels could be also renamed in the interface to make things a bit more user friendly.
HTH, Matthias
so if the author= Robert, Watson, and Fillip ( which are last names)
the cite key can generate RWF (can i make syntax like this?)
No, sorry, this wouldn't be possible without modifications to the code.
refbase generates cite keys via functions 'generateCiteKey()' and 'parsePlaceholderString()' in file 'includes/include.inc.php'. It may not be difficult to hack one of these functions, or introduce a new placeholder to suit your needs.
Can you tell me how can i put info that is supposed to be in "cite key" section to "area" section?
I tried to do it in ini.inc.php and include.inc.php, but having some problems
Can you tell me how can i put info that is supposed to be in "cite key" section to "area" section?
I tried to do it in ini.inc.php and include.inc.php, but having some problems
Oh, I just meant to copy the key manually, thus calling it a "poor-man's" workaround. Sorry for the confusion. Automatically shuffling info from the 'cite_key' field to the 'area' field might be tricky.
However, as noted in my previous reply, it may not be too difficult to hack the parsing of placeholders (or their placeholder options). This way, you could generate your cite keys automatically, and still keep refbase's standard cite key functionality more or less intact.
E.g., currently the <:authors:> placeholder does not use negative numbers for anything, i.e. they have no meaning and are treated as if their positive counterparts were given. But since the minus sign is already recognized by the 'extractDetailsFromAuthors()' function (in file 'includes/include.inc.php'), it could be used to denote "first char of the author's lastname only". So, similar to the examples given at:
the following examples would yield:
<:authors:> one author: G, two authors: GL, three authors: GLW, more authors: G_etal
<:authors:> GLWHB
I.e., everything would work similar to the described <:authors:> placeholder & options, except that if the first option is preceded with a minus sign, only the first char of the author's lastname is used.
While the meaning of the minus sign would be inconsistent in comparison to the other placeholder options, it may be the easiest way to do it, and you could still use the rest of the refbase placeholder & cite key functionality.

Real Housewives of Orange County's Heather Dubrow: I've Given Up on Alexis Bellino
Sounds like Heather Dubrow has reached her verdict when it comes to Alexis Bellino.
Real Housewives of Orange County newcomer Dubrow joined Bellino and the other women for an eventful season seven -- and on this past Sunday night's reunion (part one of two), Dubrow was blunt with Bellino.
"I've never seen anybody treat a [TV] crew the way you treat this crew," former actress Dubrow sniped as Andy Cohen moderated.
PHOTOS: Real Housewives bikini bods
"She speaks to them like trash and like they are beneath her."
As Bellino shook her head in disagreement, Dubrow yelled: "Take this as a moment to look inside of yourself -- and if everyone says you're dead, it's time to lie down!"
PHOTOS: Biggest Housewives fights ever
Dubrow explained how things now stand with Bellino to Us Weekly at Thursday's premiere of Ringling Bros. & Barnum & Bailey presents Dragons in L.A. "For me, I've really tried to restart with Alexis a few times, and right after the reunion I thought we were on the road to recovery," she said. "And then she turned around and trashed me in an interview. And I thought, 'you know what? At some point you have to know when to shut the door,' so I think I've shut the door."
As it happens, Bellino also attended Thursday's circus bash -- but she and Dubrow successfully avoided each other. And Bellino explained to Us that, other than Vicki Gunvalson, she's not in contact with other castmates, which also include Tamra Barney, Gretchen Rossi.
"Vicki and I are still in a lot of contact. The other girls and I. . .We're not talking."
Indeed, Bellino claimed she's mulling whether to return for another season. "I don't know at this point.. Honestly, I think I've taken a pretty good beating and I don't know."

Yahoo / Microsoft deal put on hold
It was July 29th when Carol Bartz and Steve Ballmer announced the much discussed deal between Yahoo and Microsoft. Yahoo would be using Bing as their default search engine and all search related topics would be shifted to Microsoft.
The 'nuptial agreement did leave open some options for Yahoo to get out of the deal. If MS/Yahoo wouldn't perform well enough against Google on the key metrics of revenue per search and U.S. market share, the deal could be terminated by Yahoo. Both parties say the fact that the deal has been postponed is not related to this issue. However, Yahoo and Microsoft just need more time, so they say.
"Given the complex nature of the transaction, there remain some details to be finalised. The parties are working diligently on finalising the agreements, have made good progress to date, and have agreed to execute the agreements as expeditiously as possible."
Both parties expect the deal to come through in 2010, but it does take more time than expected, which will without a doubt have an impact on the deal as a whole and the success of a deal. Though the deal seemed certain there are some bumbs in the road which could turn out to be a bigger obstacle than expected.

A complete misunderstanding of any possible analogy here.To compare such a potential situation you'd have to say it would be like JDS' opponents saying let me wear head gear because I also can't see very well with it on. It's BS just like all the wrapping.
11/22/10 10:28 AM by Einar
Let them wear freaking Gi's if they want to. Only wearing a speedo favours some fighters, wearing pants favours others. Why should only the fighters who want themselves and their oponents to be as slippery as possible have the final say?

God I hope George destroys joe in this fight. Maybe he will give him the same treatment as Jon Jones gave to Vera. This is sad cause I used to like Joe, oh well. Also damn I miss Pride; shoe, GI, tights, shit don't matter just show up and fight. These dudes need to learn some budo (WEC fighters excluded).
11/20/10 12:40 PM by michaelkaras
get in my guard!hopefully joe KOs him.definitely not very fair. i dont even dislike george, i like watching him fight a lot, but his explanation was bullocks. he knows its to his advantage, joe knows, and the commission knows, but they dont have a rule that will make george take it off.im sure an amendment to the unified rules will take care of it, but after the fight...........the other problem is that michigan (where im posting from) (and am super excited to see the fights tonight from) is kinda flying from the seat of their pants on this one, rulewise. regardless, im a lauzon fan so WAR him, hope the extra stuff doesnt F him up
11/20/10 12:37 PM by Mike Russell
Both Nevada and New Jersey say they don't have a problem with his legwear. I can't see a fairly new commission like the one in Michigan doing anything different than the two most respected commissions in the sport who were most responsible for making the Unified rules as we know them. http://www.cagepotato.com/uproar-over-george-sotiropoulos'-legwear-much-ado-about-nothing The braces helped Joe Stevenson hold onto George's legs.

The first season of HBO's Girls, with all its light-hearted and playful plotlines, had no shortage of memorable moments. While the crew's appearance at the Bushwick warehouse party certainly had its merits, one of our favorite scenes of the season was Hannah and Marnie's roommate dance party in their Brooklyn apartment. Why? Because it was set to the undeniably catchy tones of Robyn's 2010 single "Dancing On My Own".
For some, that 2012 episode served as their first introduction to the 34-year-old Swedish singer—but for others, she'd already been an established player in their music library. While Robyn's 10 Swedish Grammy Award wins have already proved that she's a more than capable songstress in her own right, she's since joined forces with the Norwegian electronic duo Royksopp to put out a five-track EP. Released today, the 25-minute mini-album "Do It Again" serves as their first collaboration together before launching a world tour, starting in Barcelona on June 13.
"The three of us came together with this new band," one-half of Royksopp, Torbjorn Brundtland, told Women's Wear Daily. "We kind of opened up aesthetically to new ways of working which I think is technical but we were able to let go more."
Robyn, known among her fans for being at once cheerful and emotional, colorful and thought-provoking, is just going with the flow. "I don't know what I'm doing next," she said. "I don't know when I will make another solo album. I'm not interested in that format at the moment. It doesn't mean that it won't happen because I have some ideas, but I'm not interested in that way of making music at the moment."
And so begins the Summer of Robyn. You heard it here first.

Installing and Configuring Postfix on Debian
- Install postfix (this will remove exim since there can't be two mail systems). (If you have a website, choose "Internet Site" if the configuration prompts ask for it.):
apt-get install postfix
- Check the log mail.log, mail.err, mail.info, mail.warn to see if postfix runs.
cat /var/log/mail.log
- Add your domain to the config files, so others can't abuse your mailsystem:
postconf -e "myorigin = example.com"
- Add your hostname (computer name). (Use command "hostname" at the command-line to display your hostname if not sure.)
postconf -e "myhostname=server1.example.com"
- Now add the domain names that your system will handle.
postconf -e "relay_domains = example.com, example2.com, example3.com"
- Reload Postfix Server:
postfix reload
- Test the mailserver. Type
telnet localhost 25
- You should see:
Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain. Escape character is '^]'. 220 server1.example.com ESMTP Postfix (Debian/GNU)
- Send an email to yourself:
mail from:<firstname.lastname@example.com> rcpt to:<firstname.lastname@example.com> data To: firstname.lastname@example.com From: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: Hey my first email This is my first email on debian postfix after installing configuring it. It was easy.
- To end data hit enter, type in a dot, and hit enter again:
- Then
- You're done. Type "mail" in the command-line terminal and see if you have some.
- Now let's go to the next step:
- If you have a router with firewall, enable port 25 and forward that port to your computer.
- Enter your MX records in your domain provider. (e.g. godaddy.com or dnspark.com)
Check your mx records: go to http://www.iptools.biz/ locate "DNS lookup". From pulldown menu select "MX". Type in your domain name (ex. example.com). You should see some records there. If you don't see any MX records go back to previous step. You have to have MX record otherwise other computers won't be able to see you when sending emails.
- Useful commands:
qshape mailq qshape deferred postsuper postsuper -r ALL (requeue all emails)
You should be set. If your isp is blocking the traffic then you might need to login to their smtp services. See Postfix and sbcglobal/yahoo/att below.
anti-spam: smtp restrictions
- The first fight starts at your server so this should be added to any email server that you setup. This makes sure that any computer that tries to send an email to you has a valid domain name. (spammers use ex. myhomepc as a domain name. This will stop them from spamming you.)
Insert this in your /etc/postfix/main.cf:
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = reject_invalid_hostname, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, reject_unauth_destination, reject_rbl_client sbl.spamhaus.org, permit smtpd_helo_restrictions = reject_invalid_helo_hostname, reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname, reject_unknown_helo_hostname
anti-spam: Using RBL Lists
- RBL list is a list of domains which says whether they are spammers or not.
Insert this in your /etc/postfix/main.cf:
smtpd_client_restrictions = reject_rbl_client dnsbl.sorbs.net
See what rbl is about: http://www.us.sorbs.net/mailsystems/postfix.shtml
Debian Anti-Spam Anti-Virus Gateway Email Server
- If you are building anti spam system that will act as a gateway. Read below. If you want to add more anti-spam restrictions this is worth reading.
Postfix and sbcglobal/yahoo/att
- SBC global block port 25 on its DSL users:
- We will use sbc smtp server via authentication to send emails. Do this:
apt-get install libsasl2-modules
ADD to main.cf by using postconf. Just type (smtp.att.yahoo.com requires the port 587 otherwise you don't need it):
postconf -e "relayhost = [smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com]:587" postconf -e "smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes" postconf -e "smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd" postconf -e "smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous"
Create a file called sasl_passwd in /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd. Inside type in
[smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com]:587 firstname.lastname@example.com:mypassword
- Now change permissions so others can't read it:
chmod 600 /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
- Now postmap it. (It creates a database-like file so postfix can read it.)
postmap /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
- Restart postfix
postfix reload
Done. You can use "mutt" to send emails outside. Check /var/log/mail.log to see if everything is working.
- After a switch from sbcglobal to att you need to verify you email address in your yahoo email options. If you have 100s of mailing lists you will need to unblock your port 25 since it is impossible to use att yahoo smtp servers without verifying each email address.
To opt out of your port 25 (get it unfiltered) leave a request here:Unfilter port 25 on smtp.att.yahoo.com
Forward Emails
Forwarding emails can be done via alias file located in /etc/aliases
- Run this command to add alias maps:
postconf -e "alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases"
You can now add your user to /etc/aliases like this:
root: lucas
- You can forward your emails to a different email address
lucas: email@example.com
- Or you could forward your email while still getting a copy in your local mailbox
lucas: lucas email@example.com
- When done adding aliases run this command which will create a database like file.
- Reload postfix
/etc/init.d/postfix reload
Virtual Emails
If you want virtual emails such as abuse or postmaster you can do the following.
- Run this command to add virtual alias maps:
postconf -e "virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual"
Create a /etc/postfix/virtual file
vi /etc/postfix/virtual
- And add your virtual emails
postmaster firstname.lastname@example.com abuse email@example.com someemail lucas
- Create a database like file out of it
postmap /etc/postfix/virtual
- Reload postfix
/etc/init.d/postfix reload
- To use maildir format in your mailbox which creates separate files for each email you can use the following commands:
- Maildir has few advantages over mbox format. (It keeps emails in separate files, allows for multiple applications to read mail, etc.)
- Issue these commands:
postconf -e "home_mailbox = Maildir/" postconf -e "mailbox_command ="
- You are done. Now your mail goes to Maildir format.
- If you want to read your new maildir format you have to tell mutt to use it as well. Edit this file:
vi /etc/Muttrc
- Add these lines to the bottom of the file:
set folder="~/Maildir" set mask="!^\\.[^.]" set mbox="~/Maildir" set record="+.Sent" set postponed="+.Drafts" set spoolfile="~/Maildir"
Now start mutt and send an email to yourself to see if it all works.
Postfix and mailing lists
Mailman with Postfix
The instructions below are WRONG! You should not postfix-to-mailman.py and alias at the same time. Please read /etc/mailman/postfix-to-mailman.py instead.
- Install mailman:
apt-get install mailman
- When done type:
newlist mailman
- Start mailman
/etc/init.d/mailman start
- You should be able to see mailman running now. Visit:
http://www.yourwebsite.com/cgi-bin/mailman/admin or
- Because postfix is a secondary choice for Debian we need to add:
Edit /etc/postfix/main.cf; where you see "relay_domains" add lists.yourdomain.com. You would get something like this:
relay_domains = example.com, lists.example.com
- In same file add ,hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases after alias_maps
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases,hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases
- Now type:
postconf -e "transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport" postconf -e "mailman_destination_recipient_limit = 1"
In /etc/postfix/master.cf add:
mailman unix - n n - - pipe flags=FR user=list argv=/var/lib/mailman/bin/postfix-to-mailman.py ${nexthop} ${user}
Edit or create /etc/postfix/transport. Add this line:
lists.example.com mailman:
- Then postmap it:
postmap /etc/postfix/transport
Now edit /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py and add:
MTA = 'Postfix' DEB_LISTMASTER = 'email@example.com' POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAIN = ['lists.example.com']
- Done. Now restart postfix, mailman
/etc/init.d/postfix reload /etc/init.d/mailman restart
- Create a mailing list:
newlist list_name
If you want archives add this to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
Alias /pipermail/ /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/ Alias /images/mailman/ /usr/share/images/mailman/
Then you need to reload apache:
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload
- Done. Go to
Mailman Troubleshooting
Connection refused
Assuming your postfix is running and listening on localhost, another possible problem is that postfix is not configured to run in IPv6 mode, but your /etc/hosts file specifies ::1 as localhost. In that case mailman tries to send mails to ::1 which has no postfix listening, thus resulting in a (111, 'connection refused') error.
Advanced options
SPF and multiple external ip addresses
I have some systems that are networked on an internal private ip address subnet (192.168.0.0/16). For a few reasons I email reports and such to <user>@mail.internal where user is an address that is not valid for receiving mail via the external interfaces. These systems also share a public ip address subnet so they could email each other that way, but I'd prefer they didn't for local addresses. I have published SPF records for the public mail servers because all of our mail routes through those servers so if others care to check they can ignore email claiming to be from us but being delivered from other servers as per our SPF record.
Recently I have expanded the ip addresses these systems are using externally to support multiple instances of port-based services like https (adding :oddport doesn't impress the customers.) I could have expanded or added more liberal SPF record values, or added more forward and reverse DNS records but I wanted to stick with less ip addresses.
So to recap my system has:
eth1 <public ip with spf published>
eth1:1 <public ip for extra port-based services>
eth0 <private ip on>
By using the settings in /etc/postfix/master.cf, /etc/postfix/main.cf and /etc/postfix/transport as outlined above I was able to get my outgoing smtp traffic to use my SPF published ip address once again.
Make SPF and multiple external ip addresses
If you are trying to implement SPF records while binding to one external ip address and still working with dual-homed multiple ip aliased systems, or have any other reason to support multi-homed systems with multiple ip addresses but want to limit postfix to use only two of them try this.
clone the smtp (not smtpd) service. Set the first one to use <spf published ip address> Rename the second to smtpinternal and use <internal ip address>
smtp unix - - - - - smtp -o smtp_bind_address=<spf published ip address> smtpinternal unix - - - - - smtp -o smtp_bind_address=<internal ip address>
Use transport_maps for routing
transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport
- Map a transport for your internal domain.
.internal smtpinternal:
Just postmap /etc/postfix/transport, invoke-rc.d postfix stop and invoke-rc.d postfix start and you should be in business. Email to <user>@<system>.internal will be delivered via the internal interface/ip address all other email will be delivered via default methods which means internet mail will go out the the spf published ip address.
Use the inet_interfaces setting to only listen on the ip addresses you want to.
inet_interfaces = 127.0.0.1, <internal ip>, <spf published external ip>

Homemade Water Distiller - DIY - Stove Top "Pure Water" Still - EASY instructions!
- Uploaded by OtherNews on Mar 6, 2014

Homemade Water Distiller. This Stove Top "pure water" Still is great for purifying dirty or salt water. produces lots of pure drinking water fast. can be powered by stove, rocket stove campfire, parabolic dish etc. easy to make. cost $ (i've seen these being sold for $ - just make it yourself). great for everyday use or SHTF/emergency situation. notes: do not use a plastic collection vessel - it will melt/warp (not to mention BPA). Remember not to touch the copper pipe. it gets super hot. finally, the bigger the glass jar that you use - the larger amount of water vapor you can collect (at a given time). Also, don't try to seal it. some water vapor needs to escape or high pressure would build up very fast.

I disagree. Nothing in Voyager could ever seem really epic because nothing was ever at stake but the fate of one little ship. When I first saw BOTW I was afraid for the entire Federation, for humanity.
To be fair, in TBOBW it didn't seem to me like much was at stake outside of Picard and the Enterprise. Yes, there was that brief scene where we saw the destruction at Wolf 359, but other than that we didn't see many other ships involved.
this is going in a different direction, but I honestly prefer some of the VOY Borg episodes to TBOBW. TNG gave us the Borg, but I think Voyager fleshed them out and made them a little more complex and interesting. Season 6 Survival Instinct was probably my favorite because it explored their humanity and the psychology of the drones in a new and fresh way.
this is why I like message boards like this. I feel the opposite way on that. I think VOY made the Borg far less interesting and complex(although to be fair ST:FC started it with the queen) through their overuse, and it made them a lot less threatening as well.
The first two appearances of the Borg, in "Q Who" and "BOBW" remain their best to me. It's fun to get the other perspective.
I agree wholeheartedly. The Borg were at there best when they were silent, deadly enemies. None of that talk you into submission or reason with you bs VOY added.
Best Borg showings IMO
Who Introduction of an enemy Picard and his crew were quickly outmatched by. The taunting by Q and Picard begging for assistance made this all the more potent.
Rating A
TNG BOBW still holds ups. A fine go get'em action two parter.
Rating A+
TNG First Contact
The Best film TNG has to offer and still holds up compared to modern go get'em action flicks like STID. Like i said the Borg are at there best when they are being threatening, doing things and saying very little. The Borg Picard and Worf were fighting the majority of the film carry the action and pace. While the queen and he subplot could be cut out of the film and you wouldn't lose anything really. She's really only there to have a main villain for unfamiliar audiences to identify as the master and to tempt Data.
Rating A+
VOY Scorpion
After the abysmal episode "Unity". This episode gives the audience and fans what they wanted after first contact. Elevated to new heights because it shows the Borg struggling against an equally powerful adversary Species 8472. With the VOY crew largely along for the ride.
Rating A
ENT Regeneration
After a series of disappointing outings in VOY we finally get an episode that "gets" the Borg". The Borg are menacing and proactive. These Borg do much and say next to nothing. By episodes end they remain enigmatic, mysterious and threatening.
Rating A
Borg Episodes that are lesser sons of greater sires
TNG I, Borg
Doesn't feature the Borg as an antagonist, but interesting character study on Borg becoming individuals. Not the best but it's a great contrast to VOY's "The Gift". Where Janeway forces the now individual 7 of 9 to become an individual and stay on Voyager. While Picard allowed Hugh to choose whether he wanted to stay an individual.
Rating B
TNG Descent
i don't count as a Borg episode since the Borg as a collective did not appear and was only a collection of discarded drones.
VOY Unity
Stupid pile of junk. Good thing the Borg had wigs on those cubes otherwise the mystery of this episode would've been solved in the first couple of minutes. Neat contrast to Hugh from "I, Borg". Borg drones become individuals and the first thing they do is form a NEW collective. No one escapes the Borg!
Rating D
VOY Drone
Takes the piss and extreme risk involved by allowing the birth of a 29th century Borg. Janeway obviously didn't learn from the episode "Future's End" when she faced 29th century tech.
Rating C
Infinite Regress
Silly at times but when Seven is lost among the billions of minds racing through her head, you can really feel sorry for the Borg's victims. But it doesn't keep the tone balanced enough to continue that emotional resonance.
Rating C
Dark Frontier
I find the parts with the Hansen's annoying. The Borg are downgraded so much that it becomes comical how easily the Hansen's follow and beam in and off the cube. Equate this to say the Cylons from NuBSG, or Daleks from Doctor Who. Imagine the Hansen or whoever family stalking one of theirships for 3 years, beaming on and off it, and beaming daleks or cyclons off it and performing tests on it before returning it to their ship. If that had ever happened how could you ever take them serious as threats ever again? Not to mention Janeway stands in the center of a Borg unimatrix, surrounded by MILLIONS of drons and basically talks the queen in to submission before being beamed away. The Borg can assimilate billions of people and conquer thousands of worlds, but can't destroy Voyager when they are literally in the belly of the beast?
Rating C+
Survival Instinct
Interesting, gripping and tragic. While I was tired of the talks about individuality by this point during my run though VOY. The premise and what 7 inadvertently did to those her fellows drones is scary and truly signifies you never really can leave the collective if liberated
Rating B
VOY Collective
Borg children... taking the piss hard in this episode.
Rating F
VOY Child's Play
taking the piss to and even higher heights. Is that simple prosthetic on his nose and forehead all that it takes to pass for an alien this far in to VOY? Plus the episode was stupid.
Rating F
VOY Unimatrix 01
Regeneration leads to a happy dreamland for all Borg where no Borg remembers when they wake up. Alice or rather Seven of Nine has stumbled into this magical land and adventure ensues.
And the Red Queen's off with their heads! Remember what the door mouse said!
But no seriously, the Borg are shown to be on one sever, all with the same wifi access for communication and adaptaion when in range of one another. Shockingly with all this the Borg Queen can't find a way into Unimatrix 01 or just pull the plug and or make a new sever for the Borg???
Rating C
"DON'T PROVOKE THE BORG!!! Said Papa Q. Or else what? By this time in VOY the Borg have been neutered. I always expected the Borg would seek higher aspirations, become pure energy beings like the Bajoran Prophets, Metrons or Q, but it never happened. Maybe that's what Papa Q is worried about in the Borg's future?
Rating is Irrelevant
VOY Endgame
Borg are dealt a crushing blow by the hyper-inflated ego Capt Janeway and Deus Ex Adm Janeway. Capt Janeway; who despite earlier seasons lamenting her decision about stranding her crew in the DQ. Now meets her future self and instead of taking time to reflect on her experiences and the future knowledge her counterpart gives her. Capt Janeway's head swells even more. Adm Janeway is proof of her success in the end no matter how high the cost may grow! Also wasn't Part 1 of "Endgame" the same stick as "TNG AGT's" or maybe i'm seeing parallels where they aren't there.
Rating D
Remember all ratings are subjective to opinion and these are my opinions. Speaking of did anyone ever read the novel where Janeway was made a Borg queen? This amazing artist did a pic of one. Janeway being made a Borg Queen time traveling to battle Captain Janeway in VOY "Endgame" would've made a more satisfying ending me thinks.

Teachers TV: Symbols and Symbolism
'KS2/3 RE' looks at Year 6 pupils at Easington Colliery Primary School, near Durham, who did a six week project on symbols and symbolism in religious and everyday life.
Every week, they observed symbols and symbolism in different religions and then found equivalents in their own lives. These symbols were entered into their own 'memorial' books, which covered not only religious symbols and their home and family life but also their time at the primary school that they were leaving behind.

Daniel Tosh Simply Destroys Patriots Super Bowl Win
The New England Patriots Super Bowl title is old news, but comedian Daniel Tosh is not ready to accept it.
The New England Patriots Super Bowl title is old news, but comedian Daniel Tosh is not ready to accept it.
Van Halen is in the Super Bowl! Sort of.
The Super Bowl is Sunday, February 1. Are you planning to have a party for the big game? If so, you need to do some prep work to get the right stuff or be faced with a lot of sad faces and the rumor mill will fire up and your will be name associated with "lame."
A Seattle sports radio station has unveiled a parody of AC/DC's 'Big Balls' about DeflateGate.
When Katy Perry takes the stage for the Super Bowl XLIX halftime show on Feb. 1, she'll bring along some famous friends -- including Lenny Kravitz.
Not sure how you feel about it, but it seems like forever since there was a really good Super Bowl Halftime show, but that could change if some Weird Al fans get their way!
The FCC has received complaints about the Red Hot Chili Peppers' exposed nipples during the Super Bowl halftime show.
Once again, the performance of a shirtless person during a Super Bowl halftime show has caused some controversy. However, this time it's not related to the musician's lack of clothes. Apparently, Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers was miming to a backing track during Sunday's performance.
No, they didn't play a 45-minute version of Led Zeppelin's 'Dazed and Confused.' In fact, the Red Hot Chili Peppers did exactly what you probably expected them to do as the special guests of the Super Bowl halftime show -- play 'Give it Away' while bouncing around like teenage lunatics.
Loverboy's 'Working for the Weekend' and Twisted Sister singer Dee Snider are among the '80s stars leading an attack on a Radio Shack store in a new Super Bowl commercial.
In a slyly sexy nod to cheesy '80s videos, the hit CBS sitcom '2 Broke Girls' presented a commercial titled the '2 Broke Girls Spectacular' during the 2013 Super Bowl on Sunday night (Feb. 3), featuring the Def Leppard hit 'Pour Some Sugar on Me.'

In the ISC opening keynote, the conference was told that Europe is failing to persuade enough small and medium companies to take advantage of high performance computing and engineering simulation, even though HPC and CAE are essential tools in modern industry.
Smaller Companies Shun HPC in Europe
Fastway Engineering Store Joins UberCloud Marketplace
The Fastway Store on the UberCloud Marketplace is designed to provide exclusive training classes specifically designed to teach participants how to use the latest Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) software on the cloud for Designers and Design Engineers. "Never before has a more complete curriculum been created to bring newcomers into the world of Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) and High Performance Computing." says Fastway Engineering's managing director, Jim Shaw.
The Past, Present and Future of Engineering Simulation
"Whereas previous generations of engineers could take some comfort in the 'safety net' of extensive physical testing to rescue them from the occasional poor prediction, CAE is increasingly the victim of its own success as simulation continues to displace hardware testing as industry's verification method of choice. Although this increased confidence in simulation is well-deserved (and has been hard-earned through many years of successful prediction), it brings with it a great deal of pressure to 'get the answer right' every time."
HPC Centers Propel Industry Forward with CAE Simulation
HPC Centers play a critical role in providing resources and expertise to improve the effectiveness of CAE simulation for manufacturing companies. "The HPC team at NCSA is able to leverage the compute power of Blue Waters, ISV relationships and the industrial partnerships to enable new levels of performance in CAE simulation (again, it's a team effort)."

A massive snowstorm bearing down on New England is driving consumers in droves to stock up on supplies, according to regional reports. Sales could pick up at Walgreen (WAG +0.5%), Wal-Mart (WMT), Kroger (KR +0.4%), and Safeway (SWY +0.1%) as consumers overstock for the weekend blizzard. On the flip side, Dunkin' Brands (DNKN +1.2%) could see a dip in February traffic due to its high concentration in the Northeast.

In my opinion, a wearable jewelry collection should be chosen by the wearer and should consist of semi-valuable jewelry, high-end fashion jewelry, and a few luxe pieces, to be worn separately or mixed together. Semi-valuable includes real gold and/or sterling silver pendant necklaces, chaines, earrings, bracelets and rings and can include semi-precious and precious gemstones. Fashion jewelry should include many different styles and materials, including wood, glass, and leather. (It should also be nickel free!). It should be of high quality and not look cheap so that it can be mixed with the semi-valuable and luxe pieces. And luxe items include pearls, diamonds (I hate diamonds personally) and very high quality gold and silver pieces. I think in order to accessorize for every occasion, to be fashionable, a girl needs a bit of everything. And to reflect your individual style, you should select your jewelry yourself.

Never. I like the look of costume jewelry, and I'm not responsible enough for the real thing. My jewelry always ends up lost or broken so I buy the cheapest stuff I can find and discourage my family from giving me anything nice. I don't mind investing in clothes, shoes, or handbags if I have the money, but when it comes to jewelry I'm a terrible cheapskate.

Everything works great ... only one little bug
by Marco Jassmann on
Hi there,
I love your bitnami solutions in general.
In Dokuwiki I found a little "bug" on the welcome screen (console login when you start the virtual appliance).
The mentioned user "user" should be "bitnami".
I tried to change that in my appliance .. but I can't find a way to do this because the /etc/issue file is generated automatically, I guess.
Anyhow, GREAT WORK !!!!!

Setup this baby for my company's wiki and it's working great. So far all of the extra functionalities requested by my coworkers have been met by the extension manager. Simple and full-featured. Love it.

DokuWiki is a good thing
by PaulR on
I needed a simple wiki-type application without a lot of complications and DokuWiki was it. What can I say - it just works. I have not exercised it much in the way of features, but I have ten thousand wiki pages and a thousand images and no problems. No, one problem - it takes ten hours to index those pages. I work on the various pages offline, adding, subtracting, modifying, and then every month or so, upload the new set, and then wait ten hours for the indexing process. It's not that painful if I just let it go overnight.

Gelateria Caffetteria Italiana
Plaça Revolució 2, Barcelona, 08012
- Recommended for:
- Families with teenagers, No fuss
Expert review of Gelateria Caffetteria Italiana
Ask a local for the best gelat in town and they will invariably point you in the direction of this friendly little place, run by two generations of an Italian ice-cream making family.
The queues are testament to the quality of the ice cream, and all 25 flavours are good, from strawberry to tiramisu, but the real favourite is the chocolate – dark, rich and with a decadently high cocoa content.
Inside it's an ice-cream shop like any other, but it also has tables outside on the Plaça Revolució de Setembre de 1868 (ask for the Plaça Revolució and everyone will know where you mean).
Super friendly, even when the place is rammed.
The square is in the centre of this quiet, residential neighbourhood, just above the Travessera de Gràcia.
3 euros for a little tub.

I stood looking at the building in front of me. This academy is where I'll be staying. It's an academy for kids to hone their magic. I'm here after I finished middle school. In middle school we never practiced magic, but we learned about it. The strange thing though is that I'm a guy. This school is girls only. I'm not sure why they sent me here though. I hope I get along with everyone, but I don't want them to treat me like I'm different. The academy has dorms, but I don't have a roommate (Of course), so I'm by myself.
The school has a garden that you have to walk through to get to the main buildings. The garden isn't that big, so it's no hassle. Finally I reached the actual school, above me a sign was held and in big letters it said "Magi Training Academy". I walked into the school and wondered what my school life from here on out would be like.
My first day was fine. The class was confused by why a boy was in the class. They asked me why I was here along with other questions. Honestly I don't like all this attention, but it was only like that on my first and second day. The rest of this week no one bothered me much. Until Friday
I was walking back to my dorm, when some girls from my class stopped me.
"Hey Neru." She said
She stood in front of me. Her name was Laana.
"So like, are you really strong?"
"Uh, I don't know..." I responded.
"Could you show us your weapon?" The other girl, Prisma, said.
This isn't really a good time to explain weapons, but I'll do it anyway. Most people can channel their magic into weapons. Summoning the weapon isn't that hard, it's the magic you use with the weapon that tires you out. The kind of weapon you get depends on personal preference. The few people who can't summon weapons can use passive magic, like healing magic and that stuff.
It's kind of unknown on how people were able to use magic, but it happened after the World Lynching. The World Lynching was an event, about 300 hundred years ago. Some fatal disease was spread, wiping out most of the population. There were some that survived and they made a glass dome around a large area. The outside world is apparently uninhabitable, so a bunch of people are stuck in here. It's actually very big, around a population of 600,000 is said to live here.
The last girl that was with them, Rose, said "You don't have to if you don't want to."
"Shut up Rose, let him decide."
"Umm..." I thought for a while, "I can't. Sorry, but not indoors."
"Don't be like that." Prism smirked.
"Are you scared you'll get in trouble or something." Laana said as she inched closer to me.
"I-I'm really tired. Another time." I tried going for my door, but Prisma and Laana got in the way.
"We asked you so nicely." Prisma said.
Laana quickly joined her. "Yeah, you're just gonna deny our request like that."
I looked to Rose for help.
She noticed my plea. "Guys just leave him alone."
"Rose you wouldn't understand." Prisma said.
"Yeah," Laana turned towards her, "you're just some rich girl."
She flinched. I didn't quite understand.
I spoke up. "D-Don't pick on her too."
"Oh," Laana turned back to me, "you think you're some kind of hero?"
She grabbed my collar.
"You're just a pussy."
I tried apologizing, but she threw me down.
"Whatever," She said "I'm tired."
Prisma and her walked off. I saw Rose glance back at me.
This wasn't the end of their bullying. It lasted from August until November. It was horrible.
They harrassed be continuously. They'd already forgotten about the weapon thing and now found joy in messing with me. They did things like take my food, call me things, and blackmailed me into doing things for them. Sometimes they even hit me.
I'm so useless.
I can't even stand up for myself.
It's always been like this. Everyone just ignores me. Some people see them messing with and just don't do anything.
My mom died when she had me, and my dad had left her before I was born. I was raised in an orphanage. The orphanage was good to us, they always took care of us. Even though they didn't have much money, they tried. The problem was I was never paid much attention to.
I wasn't needy, I just wanted some kind of love.
I was happy when I was at school. I never really had much friends, but I enjoyed it. Just the little conversations, no matter how little, made me happy. I was boring though.
Now I'm being bullied, and I don't know what to do.
I need help.
I feel like I'm gonna disappear.
After school, November 3rd.
The bullying was the worst then. After making a mistake that couldn't be fixed, apparently, they got angry at me. They were noticeably violent today. After kicking me in the balls, Prisma and Laana left the desolate art room. I lied down on the floor.
"Wow," Prisma walked beside Laana "you kicked him pretty hard."
"I'm just angry," Laana responded "I haven't gotten my period this month yet."
"Well, maybe it's because..." Prisma's voice trailed off.
They're too far for me to care to listen anymore.
I want to die.
I never felt like that.
I wanted to cry.
I can't take it.
I want someone to care.
My tears started to come. I felt a lump in my throat. My neck strained and I rubbed it. I rolled on my back, my tears fell towards my ears.
I silently cried in the art room.
The well drawn pictures faced somewhere else, as if not wanting to watch me.
I was crying harder now, so I went to the corner in hopes of not being found.
I was there for about thirty minutes with my head in my knees.
I looked up and saw a picture. The picture was originally made with a lot of vibrant colors. They mixed beautifully, and were so well painted.
But someone ruined it.
They threw black on it.
It ruined the other colors.
It was forced there.
Was the black purposely there, or accidentally placed ?
As I was staring at the picture, I heard footsteps. I quickly wiped my tears and got up. Their footsteps got closer.
Then they reached the art room.
It was a girl.
She had dark purple hair, and wore a thin light purple sweater with a dark purple scarf.
She looked at me perplexed.
"Are..." she tilted her head "you okay?"
That's when it began. My journey of tears and blood. I never wanted the direction of this story to proceed like it will, but I no longer had control of that.

We have to wait till I am done school to get married.

The first time I heard of this I thought it was adorable. Then I went to a pumpkin festival in Keene, NH and saw about 10 more proposals at once. It seemed less innovative when the giant jack-o-lantern scaffolds had at least 2 proposals each and people had to customize the "will you marry me" phrase so that they could tell them apart...

Won't happen for a long time but I am excited to get married now! The proposal sounds like half the fun! Besides the dress, of course.

The proposal is definitely cute and I'm with you on the Halloween wedding, which, Halloween falls on a Saturday in 2009. Yikes!

My husband proposed to me with a jack-o-lantern too. He carved hearts as eyes etc. and the ring box had a light in it... so it was perfect :]

Dear Santa,
I have been so good this year.. I think.. remember last week I already shut the meanie inside me. In fact I have been so consistent on not putting my dirty laundry on Faceboook (that's a lot of self control I tell yah!) And I already moved on with some people from my past. I realized I am too blessed to dwell on negativity..
So I guess, that made me a nice girl this year.. and so will you grant my wish this year? please? pretty please?
The other day, just when the writing mojo is back, I learned that my keyboard gave up. No thanks to my little girl who spilled her drinks on it. Milk spills, juice spills, water spills and sometimes even coffee spills, how can my keyboard survive that? Of course it can, if my keyboard is washable. You know Santa, a washable keyboard can be found in almost every computer shop. I can send you a link if you want to.. teehee
And you know I have lost a lot of weight already.. from 167 lbs early this year, I am down to 129 lbs (or less). That's almost 20lbs already! I am nearing my target weight which is 125 lbs.. So dear Santa, I really need a few new clothes. I have been browsing the fashion section at Not On The High Street website and bookmarked a few dresses, few skirts and blouses. I can email you the links if you want to. But before that, let me reach my desired waistline first. I'll tell when it is time to shop.
Lastly, a micro four thirds would be a nice addition to my slowly growing camera collection (well if you include mobile camera to that). A white one with two lens zoom kit (you know the one with 10-30mm and 30-110mm) would be good. It's cheaper now, I think.
My Christmas wishlist is short Santa so please make it happen.
