PHP Notice: Undefined variable: _SERVER in ..
I upgraded Linux on this server a while back and in the course of that upgrade PHP was upgraded too, to version 5.5.9.
Since I had a modified php.ini it asked me to check over any new options. There were a few but I fixed anything that looked like it might break things. I saved the php.ini and let the upgrade go on.
Some time later I saw odd notices in the PHP error log. Usually it referred to wp-comments-post.php but files outside of WordPress raised the warning too:
PHP Notice: Undefined variable: _SERVER in ..
It turns out the fix is rather easy. Jacques Marneweck on his blog posted a solution. Simply switch off "auto_globals_jit" in your php.ini and restart Apache (if required).
From the PHP manual entry for auto_globals_jit:
When enabled, the SERVER and ENV variables are created when they're first used (Just In Time) instead of when the script starts. If these variables are not used within a script, having this directive on will result in a performance gain.
The PHP directives register_globals, register_long_arrays, and register_argc_argv must be disabled for this directive to have any affect. Since PHP 5.1.3 it is not necessary to have register_argc_argv disabled.
It looks like the bug is ancient although I'm not using APC, and the JIT compiler can be fooled if you access the super globals like _SERVER through variable variables. Sneaky!
The default for auto_globals_jit is "On" so next time you upgrade PHP keep an eye on the error log.
B/W HDR Look in Lightroom
Anthony Morganti uses an interesting technique to create photos with a black and white HDR look in Lightroom. It can transform a photo so it looks something like this. (I added a vignette as well.)
It doesn't suit all photos of course, it's also only a starting point as you should develop your photos in whatever way you desire. To avoid repeating all those steps every time I created a Lightroom preset.
Grab that file and install it in the same way you'd install any Lightroom preset. What d'you think?
Restoring From Physical Media
Remember DVDs? Last night while looking for the original photo of this dancing in the street photo I was horrified to find an empty directory!
I had no idea when they were deleted. I searched my backups but of course the directories had been synced a long time ago and they were gone. I checked Backblaze and there was no sign of them. I even checked Google Plus for their backups but still no sign of them. I must have deleted them more than two years ago.
I hate that. I have multiple copies of every photo just because this might happen and yet it wasn't enough! My backups sync every night so any deletes were synced within twenty four hours.
Almost. Later, I remembered that I had backed up photos to DVDs before I started using multiple drives and Backblaze. They were up in the attic!
It didn't take long to get them, the first DVD worked and my photos from The St. Patrick's Festival in 2006 were restored, but the photos from April 20th were on the second DVD. The second DVD didn't work. Nooooo!
The rest of the photos did survive their stay in my cold, damp attic and were restored. I'm thinking now about monthly offline backups to a drive I'll plug in occasionally.
Do I have any photos from April 20th, 2006? I remember the day well because I was in St. Finbarr's Hospital with my wife helping a family member. While the others waited I went outside to take photos of a derelict building at the back of the hospital grounds. People passed me going to work while I was take pictures of the daisies, flowers and old architecture. Soon enough a security guard showed up but he just asked me to stop taking photos. I do have a few photos. We called to a friend later in the day and I got some shots of her cat so that's here too. 🙂
What's the take home message from all this?
- You can never have too many backups.
- You need versioned backups (of a few days at least) in case you notice a mistake a few days later after your backups have been synced.
- You need an offline backup that's synced periodically.
- You need cloud backup that will keep your files safe for a length of time after they're deleted. Backblaze holds on to your files for thirty days after they're deleted!
- When you export files from Lightroom, Photoshop or whatever graphics app you use, always make sure you export a full size original version, not just a web version.
I'm sad that those files are gone, but glad I have a few reminders of an eventful day.

Raw DNG Samples from the Nexus 5
Android L, the next major release of Android will allow apps to get raw data from the camera. This lets photographers extract more information and develop photos a lot more than they could with simple Jpeg files. They'll be able to "push" the image further to recover blown out highlights and recover detail from shadows.
At least that's the theory. You're still working with the relatively small lenses and sensors in camera phones so they're not going to compare to a DSLR or dedicated camera but images will get closer in quality.
This thread on r/Android has some samples of DNG files you can work on in Lightroom or whatever your RAW processor of choice is. The photos were taken with lcamera as the official Google camera app only records to Jpeg images. I took a stab at the "auto exposure" image here and came up with this:
That's pretty good for a photo taken by a Nexus 5 at ISO 1635. Lightroom settings were as follows:
- Temp: -1.65
- Tint: +59
- Exposure: -1.65
- Highlights: -100
- Shadows: 100
- Whites: +2
- Blacks: -29
- Clarity: +22
- Sharpening
- Amount: 67
- Radius: 1.0
- Detail: 10
- Masking: 70
- Noise Reduction
- Luminance: 20
- Detail: 50
- Contrast: 0
I'm really excited to see what Android L will bring to camera apps once it's officially out in the wild and more phones have it installed!

I'm hoping for more ice types! They're a fun type, and there's usually only like 5 ice types introduced each generation, and that's including the NFEs. Ice is a really interesting and fun type, and they could have some really interesting pokemon types with it!
And I'd also love some more strong bug types, as there were many introduced in fifth gen. The more the merrier, in my opinion! (and no more butterflies/moths please, there are some really cool bugs for inspiration out there ^_^)

Jim, 82, lives alone on a pension. To save money in the winter he keeps his thermostat at 62°, even when it's freezing outside. Now it's summer, and he refuses to buy a window air conditioner. When the weather report predicted 100° heat, his son Bob offered to pick Jim up and let him spend the day in Bob's cool house. Jim was grumpy and refused to leave his home.
18. Like Jim, most older people live alone. True [1] / False [1]
19. Do people always get grumpy as they age? Yes [2] / No [2]
20. What about the heat? Can too much heat or cold be dangerous for older people? Yes [3] / No [3]
It seems like older people often are sick and have trouble getting around. Or, is that just another myth about the aging population? Let's see.
21. Americans are actually living longer. But are older Americans also:

big nose in ultrasound now bf wants paternity test!!!
He sounds like an idiot. I have seen 3D ultrasounds where the pic looks like a big nose, or lips, or whatever, and then when you see a pic of the actual baby it looks the same, but with smaller features. I think it's just the way the ultrasound transmits the image. It's not an exact picture of your baby, so he needs to calm the F down and not be stupid.
Bradford Pierce born 7-23-12
Wow! Sorry for what you are going through.
In all seriousness, I would encourage you to let him pay for the paternity test. When the results come in, you will be a guaranteed child support; my guess is he'll try to squirm out of that, too.
Mom to DD (10/02), DS (6/04) and DS (3/10) and DS (6/12)
What a douche. Even if you prove him wrong - this kind of paranoia & emotional abuse won't stop. He is clearly unhinged.
I'm sorry you are wearing it. Ugh.
Met American in Australia, engaged, married, moved from Australia to U.S with 2 fur babies & unplanned pregnancy within 11 months. WHAMMO!
Tell him that the kid may or may not end up with BF's nose, but that you sure as hell hope that DS didn't get his mental capacity (or lack thereof) from BF.
Seriously though, you mention that you work through a rocky relationship with BF. I gotta ask - why? BF is obviously a dumb ass to the tenth degree.

Should I let my baby stay overnight at his grandparents' house without me?
My mom and mother-in-law both want my 6-month-old to spend the night at their house. My mom lives two hours away and only sees her grandson once a month; my mother-in-law sees him several times a week. I'm not sure he's ready for sleepovers. What should I do?

My daughter is now 9 weeks old and has been staying over every Saturday night at my mother's house since she was three weeks old. I was so nervouse that first night, but she was fine! I'm 23 and my mom is 41(she started her family early)so she is very energetic and capable of taking care of middle of the night feedings. Actually she was more than happy to do so. Now, my daughter at 9 weeks has more wakeful periods during the day and with me being back to work as of last week ( my mom has her in the afternoon till 9pm when i get out)having her stay those few nights and with my mom before hand has made my baby very comfortable over there. She smiles and coos at my mom when she wakes up at 5am for the one feeding she need over night since she began sleeping 6 hours at nightand she does not get all distressed because she isn't familiar with my mom's house. I also have no worries that my baby will go through horrible separation anxiety in a few months. She is a very social baby and does not cry when we are at outings or family gathering and friends and family want to hold her. i think she is at an advantage as is any child that gets the joy of being exposed to all of the people that love her/him. And as far as your parents taking care of your child( especially your own mother or father) overnight or at all, think of this... are you not alive and well today because of the love and care they/she/he gave you from birth? I know for a fact that my mother loves my daughter just as much as she loves me and as i do my daughter and that is why i trust her to care for my baby. Plus as long as you can keep the lines of communication open, i'm sure they will respect all of your wishes to parent your baby the way you see fit! :-)posted 01/21/2006 by JESSINNH
my baby spends the night there all the time i dont mind .. she has also stayed other places the night too ... it gives her time to spend n play with someone else n gives me a lil break too .. but if u dont feel comfortable then dont.. do whatever works for uposted 11/16/2005 by bon_mom
Do it, do it, do it!!! I was so hesitant to let my first stay away from home but I bit the bullet and he has such a great relationship with his grandparents and he loves spending the night. The grandparents also get the chance to learn the child's likes and dislikes at a very early age and they are so much better equipped to deal with them as toddlers and they'll want to deal with them as toddlers. I have afriend who never let her son spend the night away from home and now she'ld give anything to have a night off but the child is traumatized by not having his mommy. You'll have less separation anxiety if you do it now and continue to do it on a fairly regular basis. It is also very important for you and your significant other to have some time alone as well.posted 10/31/2005 by ajw3
O.k I have read the comments. Now my question is when do you feel is a good age to let them sleep over other places other than grandparents. Maybe cousins or best friends. In a way i feel that i am holding my 3 month old back. But she has been over my moms house for 3 months and is still screaming to the top of her lungs thru the night til i get off work. And Realatives think that they can handle her. I feel like if she can't stay with someone she has seen everyday it would be torture on her to let her stay with people she's probably seen twice a month. when do i cut the cord?posted 10/02/2005 by mrztracyallen
I don't know what we would do without my parents. We have two girls, 10 months apart, and my parents took my oldest girl from the moment I went into labor with my second until I came home from the hospital. With their help, my husband could stay with me and the new baby in the hospital, and not have to worry about me or her. My oldest, (she's 15 months now), loves to stay with Grandma and Pappy, and they love to have her. They have a crib for her at the house, and she loves it like home. Do what is best for you, but be careful not to burn any bridges - the day may come when you absolutely need all the help you can get!posted 09/25/2005 by suzsmedberg
I don't think any parent should feel guilty about leaving their little ones with a sitter from time to time. We work hard raising our children and there is nothing wrong with needing a break now and then. I have a 6 year old and a 6 month old at home and I make a point of getting out several times a month. I like to go out when they are in bed for the night or when my baby is down for a nap. That way if the baby is sleeping, he won't miss me! (It makes the babysitter's job much easier too.) Once a month I leave them with my mom for the night and give myself a good night's rest without having to worry about a baby waking up all hours of the night. Yes, I do get a little anxious leaving the baby, but I know he will Grandma will take excellent care of him. I also know that in giving myself that time to unwind a little will ultimatly make me a better parent because: 1.I'm well rested and eager to see my children, 2.My children respond positively to my cheerfull mood, 3. Those feelings of missing "the old life" goes away when I give myself those little breaks. All parents need and deserve time to themselves. The kids will be fine without you for an hour or two now and then ( even overnight). Go out and enjoy life!posted 09/20/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
my baby is a great sleeper so i've never needed a break (although i can understand parents who would). i feel uncomfortable with the idea of a sleepover. my in laws keep asking but i just cant get over it. my parents dont ask (we never had sleepovers as kids). i know its great for other people, but just not me. i just feel like i dont need the break from the baby and i would just worry the whole night so it would be a stress instead of a relief. i dont want to be rude. i hope the grandparents can be more understanding - if you dont get a positive response stop pushing.posted 07/11/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
My son is 3 months old and has not been away from my husband & I for an evening yet. I don't see it happening anytime in the near future. My mom & sister are the only ones who I will allow to babysit him because they respect my decisions as a mother and will do only as I ask. On our anniversary in October, I will leave him for a night (with my mom, of course), but she will be staying at our house, to keep him in familiar settings. As a few others on this post have said, grandparents have had their chance to raise kids, now I am going to raise mine and not pass the responsibility and JOYS of parenting to someone else. So, they will see my son with my husband and I present, or they will not see him at all.posted 05/28/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
I just want to say thank you to Julie for her comments!posted 05/17/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
since i stopped breastfeeding @ 3 months i let my son sleep at my parents 1-2 nights/month they only see him once a week - of course we miss him like crazy-but he is in good hands-they have a new crib & playpen for him & his great grandparents get to see him more often too- we live close to my husbands family but far from mine so I feel a bit guilty that they can't see him oftenposted 04/25/2005 by a BabyCenter Member

My son is almost 6 mos old and is having regular night wakings that usually end up as 45min screaming fits. He started sleeping 8-9 hour stretches at 5 weeks, then started waking every 4-6 hours at 4 mos, and it's just deterioted from there to out current situation. He normally gets a bottle of expressed milk every 4 hours, but for the past three weeks he has been waking every hour or two, and a bottle is the only thing that shuts him up. He'll go 4 hours or more between bottles no problem during the day so it doesn't seem right that he's truly hungry again every 2 hours at night. We've tried not picking him up and just soothing him in his crib, rocking him, taking him into bed with us, and lots of other htings, but the ONLY thing that works is a bottle. He started teething at 4 mos, but it's not been a constant thing. I'm just so tired and at my wits' end. I just want to know what's wrong with him and don't feel I'm doing anything right as it's not getting better no matter what we do. I will try anything except CIO. If he cries 45 min straight while I'm holding him, I can only imagine what he's capable of if left all alone.
Some other info:
He sleeps in his crib in our room.
He is still swaddled (won't fall or stay asleep without it).
Fusses for pacifier when he wakes up without it.
Is EBF.
Please help if you can,

Archived Story
Resident addresses commission about beautifying north side of countyBy Emily Reed Published 3:58pm Tuesday, February 12, 2013
"It was a good meeting with some good discussion," Caton said. "There are still some things we would like to discuss but we should have everything on track to present to the commission by our first commission meeting in March."
The committee is made up of Caton, commissioners Joe Headley, Greg Moore and county engineer Tony Wearren as well as three loggers in the county.
The purpose of the committee is to focus on ways to adapt the ordinance to benefit Chilton County.
Caton also told commissioners the Airport Authority had a board meeting on Feb. 7 with the newly appointed chairman Edwin Petty stepping down and Craig Cleckler being reappointed to the chairman position.
"I think everyone on the board is trying to work together and I think some changes came about that will be for the better," Caton said.
Agee attempted to make a motion to increase the monthly fund to the Chilton County Humane Society for the 2013 year from $12,901 t $20,000 a month but Caton told Agee funds were not coming in and the commission did not have the ability to increase more funds at this time.
"It was my understanding that if the commission received additional funds we would move in the direction of giving it to the humane society," Agee said.
Caton said revenue has not come in and the commission would know whether they could increase funds for the humane society by the first meeting in March.
Agee withdrew his motion to increase money for the year but informed the commission he would be bringing the motion back up for consideration at a future meeting.
The commission voted on Jan. 28 to increase funds for the humane society by having, the local legislative delegation try to pass a local bill increasing the county data processing fee from $5 to $5.25 to meet obligations in funding for animal care.
Agee said if the bill was passed it would more than likely not immediately relieve the financial burdens the humane society faces right now.
"I would like to see us get something established to help them right now," Agee said. "In the meantime I hope everyone at the humane society will be patient with us until we come up with a way to get more money to you all."
Commissioner Heedy Hayes expressed concern for the way things were handled regarding Chilton County's involvement with the Alabama Department of Transportation's (ALDOT) Rural Assistance Match Program (RAMP).
The program would further assist cities and counties with transportation infrastructure needs and Hayes told Caton and Wearren the rest of the commission was not being properly informed about decisions being made involving the program.
Caton assured Hayes that no decisions were being made without the commission's knowledge and anything involving the projects for each city would not occur without the commission signing off on them.
In other business, the commission:
•Approved a resolution for Caton to sign the 2013 tax levy.
•Passed a resolution nominating Rusty Merrill for reappointment to the Chilton County Water Authority.
•Approved a telephone to be placed at the Chilton Veteran's Affairs office.

ON OCTOBER 4, 1988, the day before the second and final debate between George Bush and Michael Dukakis, Peter Jennings opened the ABC evening news program with a devastating assessment of Dukakis' chances for winning the election. As a color-coded map of the United States appeared on screen, Jennings announced that based on polls conducted in all fifty states, the ABC / Washington Post poll showed the Republican candidate with a virtual lock on the electoral college. Among the electoral votes "firmly" committed to either candidate, Bush led 220 to 30. Among those that were "leaning," Bush led 180 to 59. Thus, overall Bush was ahead 400 to 89, Jennings reported, a landslide majority in the making. This report was made at a time when the network's own national poll showed the popular vote to be quite close, with Dukakis trailing Bush by just five points, 51 to 46 percent.
This was no doubt the most controversial media poll during the election campaign, in part because of what many felt were underlying flaws in the way the poll was conducted, but also because of its timing. The poll was reported so close to the second debate it strongly influenced reporters' assessment of how well Dukakis had to do in the debate in order to win the election. "Only a decisive win in the second debate could revive an obviously faltering Dukakis campaign," was the message reporters took from this ABC report of its poll of 50 states. But Dukakis did not deliver the knockout blow, and as far as the media were concerned, the election was over. The poll thus had a damaging impact on the Dukakis candidacy, not so

MSI packs GTX 970M in new 14-inch GS40 Phantom notebook
Intel Skylake Core i7-6700HQ quad-core CPU as well
Gaming notebooks usually end up to be a desktop replacement device rather than a portable notebook due to their size, weight and battery life but now it appears that MSI managed to change that a bit by releasing the new 14-inch GS40 Phantom notebook.

Watch TiZA executive director Asad Zaman "attack" KSTP cameraman [VIDEO]
Asad Zaman "attacked" the KSTP news crew
This week's feature chronicles the troubled history of TiZA, the controversial charter school blasted by conservative critics as the "Minnesota madrassa."
TiZA began humbly, serving poor Somali immigrants in Inver Grove Heights. It grew into a media darling, and Congressman Keith Ellison enrolled his youngest child at the school, as we detail in our story. But after Katherine Kersten wrote a column in March 2008 accusing TiZA of being an "Islamic school," a wave of legal problems descended upon the academy.
Its officials reacted aggressively to criticism, hiring a PR firm and lobbying the media. Its monitor, Wayne Jennings, wrote a letter to the Star Tribune defending TiZA. Executive Director Asad Zaman traveled to the Strib's offices to demand Kersten be fired, according to a former parent at the school. But that paled in comparison to the school's reaction when KSTP reporter Chris O'Connell made an unwelcome visit in May 2008.
Asad Zaman with his students
O'Connell went to TiZA in May 2008 to follow up on a Department of Education report released about the school.
"Our assignment took us here to Inver Grove Heights to get reactions from school leaders about corrections ordered by the state department of education in regards to religious programs at the school," O'Connell said on the live broadcast that evening.
O'Connell had made "several phone calls" to school leaders but didn't hear back. He went to the school anyway and saw that TiZA officials were talking to reporters from KARE-11. So his cameraman started rolling and they approached the school. A group of students mobbed the camera.
In the footage, one young Muslim student walks up to the reporters, puts a thumb up, and says, "Nice camera."
Then Asad Zaman, the school's executive director, rushed out in a hurry. He grabbed the camera, and "tried to wrestle" it away from the videographer, according to O'Connell.
KSTP called the cops and an ambulance came to check up on the cameraman. Watch the report below:

Anthropogeography and Rainforest Ecology in Bocas Del Toro Province, Panamį
Clearinghouse for Federal Scientific and Technical Information, 1969 - Agricultural geography - 198 pages
The economy of Bocas del Toro province, in northwest Panama, is predominantly bio-technic. Different people have made different uses of the plants and animals of the area over time. Emphasis is placed on the system of Indian silviculture whereby native populations in the past, and to a lesser extent today, have exploited the large selection of cultivated plants, supplemented by useful plants from the forest and regrowth sites. The ecological conditions under which this more effective use of the tropical forest lands occurred and could, perhaps, recur is discussed. (Author).

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

|Return/Replacement policy:
"I am quite happy with my purchase. ordered the projector clock over the phone. it arrived promptly and i paid a great price. Negative: free shipping and then charging 3 bucks for handling is a bit deceptive."
"Worst customer service experience in years!
I ordered an item then learned a family member had purchased a similar one as a gift. So before the Heartland order arrived, I called Customer Service to explain and asked how to return without incurring shipping. Was told to refuse at the door or take it to a UPS center if I missed the driver. Sure enough, I missed the driver. Next day, took the unopened package to a UPS center (Staples). Got a return tracking slip. Three days later, the same package arrived at my door, again while I was not home. Called Heartland. A person identifying themselves as a supervisor had no patience for the story. Attitude, attitude, attitude! Although a Heartland customer for over 17 years, no offer to help with the postage or simply to understand that I simply did what a Heartland rep. told me to do; and which should have been logged on my order screen. Bottom line: besides the aggravating interaction with a so-called supervisor whose impudence is trumped only by a company that has apparently lost 'heart' for its customers,it's costing me $8 dollars for shipping. And BTW: I learned and confirmed,that Buy.com has exactly the same item (refurb. GPS) at $45 dollars less. I urge you to be very careful with what the 'real' cost of dealing with Heartland America is. Other dissatisfied customer reviews are worth paying attention to. No wonder Heartland does not subscribe to customer review services like this one."
"Received a refurbish DVD burner instead of new, fortunately it works. Item suppose to be new as posted. store not honestly shows item condition. Never gamble again."
"Everything I ordered was made in China and not made in the "Heartland America". All junk. Nothing was a good value. My 1250 watt power inverter would not even power 850 Watts. I got around to test it a few days after the return date so they refused to take it back. I am out $80.99 plus shipping. I will never order from them again. Just one more that think it's OK to be a thief in the work place. Shame on you!"
"We received a special catalog pronouncing big savings and free shipping. I figured, what can you lose?
As it turns out, you lose a big amount of time.
We ordered an item and received a $10 off coupon in addition to free shipping. Fair enough. What they don't tell you is that they tack on a $2.99 charge for "processing," whatever that means.
In addition, the item we ordered on 8/8/2008 has been back ordered till 9/12/08. And even then, we're not sure if it will make it. Consider that it will probably take another two weeks before they ship the item when it is finally in stock, I have decided that my first order with this firm will also be my last.
Why order from a company that doesn't even keep its own stock available for buying?
Avoid at all costs. My guess is that the company is a scam...they collect your money, put it in a high yield money market account while you wait forever or get substandard products.
I think it's time that the Federal Trade Commission finds out about these crooks."
" My wife and I purchase a laptop from Heartland America to give to our Daughter I'm disable so we live on a set bugget the first one we got we had to send back because it didn't work and it took over two weeks before we were told to send it back to a company called GCM INC. who was the ones that fixs and goes over them after 7 weeks I had to call to get a laptop sent back this next laptop was over eight years old and would not read the internet card so you could not get on the internet plus keys stick and the cursor moves on it's own after working on it and updating the programs we were able to get on line but still had the other things wrong we tryed to go through Heartland to get us one that work right or give us a refund to this heartland told us it was not there problem and it was up to GCM I have writen to Heartland using the add as a go by telling them we did not buy the laptop from GMC and It was not GMC saleperson who we talk to all this to no help. I have even wrote to GCM and have heard nothing so much for Satisfaction Guarantee and if you can find it in writing you se it is only good for three day We lost over 400.00 don't make our mistake if you see it for sale here buy from someone else the best thing Heartland could do would be get a back bone and stand up for what thay sell."
"I tried to order from Heartland America, order number above. First item was "no longer available". Second item was ordered and it took 3 days for the order to be confirmed. They said it takes that long to verify my credit card information. How'd you like to stand in line at Wal-Mart for 3 days to buy something with a credit card.
So, the order goes through and it was immediately backordered until the 17th. Called on that day and they said it was backorderd until the 25th. I cancelled the order. This was all a result of receiving a catalog that said "we want you back". This is not the way to get get customers back. "
"Ordered a humidifier from them. Shipping was a little slow, but I got the item I was expecting. No issues with the ordering process or product itself.
Couple of negatives is that they aggressively send e-mail advertisements almost daily. I've gotten annoyed enough to opt-out today...hopefully they respect the request. They also charge some type of "order/handling fee" which is a bit unusual. They do state it before you checkout, but it does add to th cost of the item and it's a little misleading to hit you with it at the end."
"I have been dealing with them for years, usually no problem. Last order was incomplete. Customer service person was nice and said that things "looked strange" under my account. She transferred me to a supervisor (5 min. wait) who was nasty, rude, and said I could write to the president. When I threatened a Federal Trade Commission contact, she hung up. A very rude person! She was the supervisor of the nice person! "
"Received two broken security cameras from Heartland America. The return process is involved and difficult. When I called the company to discuss it the customer service rep was short and nasty with me. When I mentioned how inconvenient this was for me she hung up on me. I called again and the next person did the same thing. So I cancelled all further contact with the company over the process of several more calls and drove to the post office and returned the cameras at my expense and also tracked them. The cameras arrived two days later back at Heartland America. I called and confirmed it with them and asked when I would be credited for the returned merchandise. They said in a couple of days. I called back this evening and found I still have not been credited for the return, but instead they have shipped out two more cameras. I could not believe it and again the customer service rep refused to apologize and acted put off that I was upset I was getting more defective merchandise from Heartland America. She was extremely rude and not the least bit contrite at putting me through further hassles. I called my credit card company who again contacted Heartland America and the woman was again nasty and short with me. It's not my fault they sent broken merchandise, nor is it my fault they sent out more cameras when I told them no less than ten times I didn't want anything else from them. I will never do business with this company again. EVER! And I would highly recommend others avoid them as well. They are horrible."
"I ordered a Cuisinart toaster oven from Heartland because they had the lowest price on the web. After I submitted my credit card information and clicked confirm purchase, a $2.99 processing fee was added as was $9.99 for an extended service agreement which I did not order. The oven is supposed to be in a large box with styrofoam packing (as in the oven I later bought). The oven from Heartland arrived minus Cuisinart's packaging in a box just large enough for the oven to fit in, with the oven wrapped in a single layer of thin bubble wrap. It seemed as if it were packed to assure damage in shipping. And the oven was indeed damaged- the door was completely off the oven and the glass was broken. The company agreed to refund the purchase price minus shipping, could/would not refund the cost of the extended service agreement, would not pay for return shipping and demanded that I insure the package (for an already broken item). I don't know as yet if there is a restocking fee. I have filed a charge dispute with my credit card company. I surmise that the oven was already damaged when shipped (why else would it have been removed from it's original packaging) and my guess is that someone else will be getting this same oven in a future transaction with Heartland."
"I ordered a product. Then i tried to cancel the order. The order had not shipped, but it was sitting in their warehouse. This went on for 2 days. All I was told was that I can refuse shipment once UPS gets there. So I still have to pay the shipping fee on an order I don't want. I still have not recieved any sort of confirmation, tracking number, invoice, or receipt. The last time I called I asked about this. The response was that their email is backed up. I will never use them again"
"They chrage your credit card for some club renewal without asking you every year."
"I ordered two Delonghi space heaters. They both arrived so dented out of shape that it was difficult to even get them running. Now, two months later, one of the heaters has just stopped working. I have no doubt that this is due to the poor condition in which it arrived."
"I received no order confirmation and therefore had no ability to track my order.
The order arrived on time but the product doesn't function. It is now residing in the thrash bin as I have no faith that this company will refund my money with any more integrity than they have shown so far.
The rebate advertised is not a rebate but store credit for future purchases. I would not purchase anything for this store again so again thrash bin.
I live in remote area and the internet shopping is valuable to us. This is the first BAD experience I have had purchasing via internet.
Shame on your company for:
no confirmation of order or tracking ability
rebate trickery
poor quality merchandise
Guess you can tell I am not going to be a return customer.

It Takes an AIPAC Village
When it comes to influencing U.S. foreign policy, the preeminent pro-Israel lobby knows which fights are worth fighting.
"Is that him?"
"This is the Iron Dome guy? That's him speaking?"
"I think that's him!"
A hundred-odd "pro-Israel lobbyists," as the official literature calls them, gather around a small stage in the AIPAC Village. There are several of these stages. It's a large "village," located at the bottom of the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, in a room that stretches underneath three city blocks. To get there, you walk past the ads that repurpose the old Uncle Sam recruitment photos with a new slogan: "I want YOU to be on time for your lobbying appointment."
Six weeks ago, this was the site of the largest inaugural ball in modern history. The floor was bare concrete, and the hors d'oeuvres were Cheez-Its and pretzels served in ornate metal bowls. Today, for the annual American-Israeli Public Affairs Committee conference, the room is carpeted, and the kosher refreshments are served from ersatz "food trucks." Higher-dollar donors head into pavilions at the north and south ends of the room, where they can kibitz with members of Congress and former diplomats. (AIPAC offers special recognitions for donations up to $2 million.) Lower-dollar donors can check out the technological "showcase," products invented by Israelis and now ready for American soldiers, drivers, or households.
Case in point: a presentation by retired Brig. Gen. Danny Gold. In 2005, when he ran the Israeli Defense Force's weapons and R&D shop, Gold advocated for a short-range defense system that could scan for missiles, predict their targets, and destroy them in flight. Within five years, Iron Dome was getting the funding it needed. In 2012, it knocked out 84 percent of the missiles shot from the Gaza strip. Gold tells the story in a thick accent, giving credit to Israeli's scientists—and giving some credit to the Obama administration, which presided over $275 million of funding for Iron Dome.
Shoshana Marcus, a donor and Hebrew teacher who lives in Maryland, lifts her iPhone above the crowd. "I want to take a picture," she says. "This is the man who saved my grandchildren! I've got grandchildren who live in Israel."
If Gold saved her grandchildren, and the Obama administration bankrolled that rescue mission, who gets the kudos? That question will be asked and re-asked of the 12,000-plus AIPAC donors who've come to D.C. this weekend. Jewish panic about Barack Obama was the dog that never barked, not during the 2008 campaign, not even after the 2012 campaign. When Obama picked Chuck Hagel to lead the Pentagon, Republicans saw a test for AIPAC. Would America's "pro-Israel lobby" throw its weight and conspicuous money against a man who'd accused "the Jewish lobby" of "intimidating a lot of people" into unwise votes?
No, it wouldn't. AIPAC stayed out, pointing out that it never got involved in nomination spats. Hawkish pro-Israel groups, with infinitely less clout, tried and failed to pinch-hit. At a pre-AIPAC happy hour, on Saturday, some of the activists who'd manned the guns remained bitter. "They existed to stop something like the Hagel nomination," one of them told me. "What vote's going to come up that's more important than Hagel? What's more important than saying: No, you can't do what Hagel's done and expect to ever get a defense role?" The anger spilled out from AIPAC donors, and it was channeled in pro-Israel punditry. "Had the American Israel Public Affairs Committee opposed Hagel publicly," wrote Washington Post blogger Jennifer Rubin in her 73rd and final post chronicling the nomination, "I do not think he would have been confirmed."

I have a Java code, which calls into native C++ code through JNI. Today the result produced by the C++ code is returned as an XML string.
I would like to replace it with a Protocol Buffers object.
Now, I have two options after producing the PB object:
- Serialize it to a string and return it
- Try and return the object itself.
Has anyone tried the second option? Will it work? Any potential problems with it?

The writing is very slightly unpolished in one or two places but that doesn't detract from the enjoyment of the book at all; the stories are all well-written and very tidily woven together, leaving an air of mystery and suspense throughout the whole story.
Each individual tale is a satisfyingly creepy stand-alone… (more)

Pop-punk is back, again
Dirty Tactics
It Is What It Is
US: 25 May 2010
UK: 25 May 2010
At its best, the Dirty Tactics' form of pop-punk transcends the genre's limited arsenal of crashing rhythms, whiny-snarling lyrics and bad-boy subject matter (free-floating, misunderstood misanthropy). "Baltimore" introduces a wavering farfisa line that sounds like it's wandered in from another record; a similar keyboard sound crops up in the slower number "Side of the Road", which also manages to use teen angst to good effect. "La Cancion to Los Andes" and "Mi Chozita" both make use of Spanish-language, Spanish-guitar intros before bringing the noise.
Ultimately, though, the musicians' limited chops render the music more of a chore than a joy to listen to. Songs like "When You Wake Up", "The Process" and "It Is What It Is" rely on simpleminded guitar battery and teen-angsty vocals that sound familiar from a thousand other songs. What's original here isn't especially competent; what's competent isn't particularly original.

Nearly $5 billion spent in DOT stimulus spending
| November 12, 2009 |
The Department of Transportation by Oct. 23 had approved $30 billion in project spending under the stimulus law, and cut checks totaling $4.85 billion, according to a report in the Journal of Commerce.
That payout level was up from $3.65 billion at the end of September, DOT said, and reflected weekly disbursements in the range of $300 million, the JOC reports.
Most of DOT's stimulus spending is through the Federal Highway Administration, which last week said its total for approved projects topped $20 billion, according to the report. This money represents more than 75 percent of the $26.6 billion set aside under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for spending on quick-start highway and bridge projects, according to the report.

Oklahoma football: Three-star receiver prospect, former Baylor commit John Humphrey has Sooners on top
NORMAN — John Humphrey says education doesn't just come first for him.
"Education is first, second and third," Humphrey said. "It's the most important thing to me in trying to find the right school.
"Right now, I feel that Oklahoma is on the top."
Humphrey — a wide receiver from Clear Falls High School in League City, Texas — committed to Baylor in April, but opened his recruitment back up recently. He also holds scholarship offers from Arkansas, California, Clemson, Louisville, Ole Miss, Missouri, Notre Dame, Oregon State, TCU and Texas Tech.
Rivals ranks Humphrey as the 88th-best wide receiver in the country for the recruiting class of 2015. He is also a standout defensive back, and Baylor was considering playing him on defense.
Humphrey is also an accomplished track star. He runs the 100-meter dash, the 200-meter dash and is on a relay team for Clear Falls.
Humphrey spoke with The Oklahoman this weekend about his recruitment, what he likes about Oklahoma and his expectations to have a two-sport future in college.
The Sooners currently have seven players committed in their 2015 recruiting class.
Q: What do you find appealing about Oklahoma?
A: I really love Coach Bob Stoops. I love the education they provide the student-athletes with. I love how each student-athlete has their own tutor. I just like OU. Just, period.
Do you have a timetable for making a decision?
I'm thinking around a month, or maybe shorter than that. I know I'm gonna do it before the season.
I know Baylor was recruiting you as a defensive back. Do you feel like you're better suited to play offense at the next level?
I can play DB, but that's not where my heart was. I have a passion for playing offense. I love making plays, scoring touchdowns.
Do you plan on running track your senior season of high school?
Actually, I'm graduating early. I'm gonna graduate in December and go the school of my choice and begin spring ball.
Would you like to run track in college?
I plan to run track on the next level as well. The OU coaches have talked to me about doing track also. They would love for me to be on their track team. They just want me to be part of the Oklahoma family.

This one has some repair on his hat/lid, see the photo All the bottles are empty. Father's Day Is Coming Soon! June 15, 2008. It's never too early to get that gift for Dad. (Grammatical note: Since this is a day for all fathers the correct position of the apostrophe is after the letter S. However many people seem to cite it as father's day or they miss out the apostrophe altogether.) Fathers' Day is a secular celebration inaugurated in the early twentieth century to complement Mother's Day in celebrating fatherhood and parenting by males, and to honor and commemorate fathers and forefathers. Fathers' Day is celebrated on a variety of dates worldwide and typically involves gift-giving to fathers and family-oriented activities. In Germany fathers' day, Vatertag , is always celebrated on Ascension Day (the Thursday forty days after Easter), which is a federal holiday. Regionally, it is also called men's day, Männertag, or gentlemen's day, Herrentag. It is tradition to do a males-only hiking tour with one or more smaller wagons, Bollerwagen, pulled by manpower. In the wagons are wine or beer (according to region) and traditional regional food, Hausmannskost, which could be Saumagen, Liverwurst, Blutwurst (Blood Sausage), vegetables, eggs, etc. In the Roman Catholic tradition, Fathers' Day is celebrated on Saint Joseph's Day, March 19, though in most countries Fathers' Day is a secular celebration. Fathers' Day in Taiwan is not an official holiday but is widely observed on August 8 which is the eighth day of the eighth month of the year. In Mandarin Chinese, the pronunciation of the number 8 is bÄ. This pronunciation is very similar to the character for "bà ", which means "Papa" or "father". Taiwanese, tfore, usually call August 8 in its nick name as "BÄbÄ Day" In Thailand , Father Day is set as the birthday of the king. December 5 is the birthday of current king, Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX). In the United States , the first modern Fathers' Day celebration was held on July 5, 1908, in Fairmont, West Virginia. It was first celebrated as a church service at Williams Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church South, now known as Central United Methodist Church. Grace Golden Clayton , who is believed to have suggested the service to the pastor, is believed to have been inspired to celebrate fathers after the deadly mine explosion in nearby Monongah the prior December. This explosion killed 361 men, many of them fathers and recent immigrants to the United States from Italy. Another possible inspiration for the service was Mothers' Day, which had been celebrated for the first time two months prior in Grafton, West Virginia, a town about 15 miles (24 km) away. Another driving force behind the establishment of the integration of Fathers' Day was Mrs. Sonora Smart Dodd , born in Creston, Washington. Her father, the Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, as a single parent reared his six children in Spokane, Washington. She was inspired ...

The provision for loan losses was $1.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, which was $877,000 more than the provision for the same period of the prior year. For the year ended 2012, the provision for loan losses was $3.5 million, which was $1.8 million less than the provision for the prior year. The higher provision for loan losses during the fourth quarter was related to organic growth in the Company's loan portfolio and $431,000 of charge-offs related to the credit losses resulting from the Heartland loans acquired that exceeded the loan discounts recorded at the time of the acquisition. As a percentage of total loans, non-performing loans were 1.97% on December 31, 2012, down from 2.08% on September 30, 2012, and 2.02% on December 31, 2011.The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans decreased to 1.52% as of December 31, 2012 from 1.89% as of December 31, 2011. The decrease in the ratio was primarily due to the increase in total loans resulting from the Heartland acquisition in which loans were recorded at fair value with no allowance allocated to them at December 31, 2012.

Amusement rides while pregnant
Wife since 10.10.10
Mother to the best little girl since 11.16.11
And the best little boy 5.14.14
You are not allowed to ride the rides if you are pregnant. They won't even give you the option.So I'd say either cancel your trip or make if for somthing different.
~I wouldn't trade the world for my family. Everyone deserves to be this blessed~
Super (:3=
yea cancel it i live right in front of an amusement just looking at the rides i wanted to go on but no you are not allowed you already know what will happend if you do go on
I say go on a tourist trip or something else.
Me + Him = 3yr + 2yr + TTC#3
"Please excuse, my auto-correct has a mind of its own"
i wasn't allowed on the tea cups. there is no "safe" ride in the operators opinion. and they just plain wont let you ride. i live in orlando and got married at the hard rock hotel at universal studios. there is PLENTY to do that doesn't involve rides just outside the entrance of the two parks. while you're on vacation, you can also check out some other things in Orlando like International Drive and Sea World which is only 10 minutes away. Don't cancel your trip, just do other things. :)
Gina (28) wife to the love of my life, Matt (38), first tiny miracle born to us, Rex 3/13/2011
Park companies won't let you ride, simply due to liability issues...
I would do a bit of research, ask your doc. Some rides may be safe, some not. From the very little I've seen, one concern brought up is safety bars pushing on a big pregnant tummy and the uterus , but obviously that wouldn't be an issue in the early stages.
That said, however, I haven't done that much research on the topic, so their could be other concerns as well, and there may be different concerns depending on what trimester you are in. Hope you can find some answers.
Never trust atoms... they make up everything.
I've never been to Universal Studios so I don't know how many rides they have there that you can't go in, but have you considered going to Disneyworld instead? I was 28 weeks pregnant and was able to go on most of the rides there because there were not fast paced (I couldn't ride Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain and Splash Mountain, but that was it).
Never trust atoms... they make up everything.
Maybe go to the beach instead? I would love to lie on a beach right now and just relax or shop the boardwalk shops. Daytona Beach is a good one for tourists. Lots to do! :)
I've never been to Universal Studios but I think there are lots of things to do at Walt Disney World that don't involve thrill rides. There are 3D shows and exhibits and shops to walk through. Orlando is full of things to do that would be safe while pregnant...dinner theatres, Universal City Walk, Sea World, etc...
Why would you risk it? you can go on vacation any other time. you should be doing relaxing things and enjoy your pregnancy :)
I went to Disney World when I was 15 weeks ( like 2 wks ago) ....I'm not sure I would have done Universal Studios, but its all about making choices. I went on lots of rides with DSD, but they werent overwhelming or anything :)
