I deleted my cookies, cache, etc..still nothing. :\
Go to your file manager through your servers control panel and make sure the files are writable.
i just upgraded to version 2.0.4 and now have the same problem with a theme I've been able to edit in 2.0.4. All the files including the theme directory are 777.
Directory - 777, files should be 666.
(and because you'll not change back them after every small edit, you'll leave your blog completely vulnerable for any hacker out there. Don't use it. Edit the template files on your computer!)
I noticed this is a regression present with 2.0.4 and 2.1 Alpha 2. The theme that was causing a problem has brackets in the directory name(for example, themename[modification]), and for some reason upon clicking "Update File," the brackets are stripped out of the $files variable. Because of this, the value for $files doesn't match the value present in $allowed_files and the function validate_file returns 3, which in turn results in validate_file_to_edit doing a "die(__('Sorry, that file cannot be edited.'));". All of these variables I am referring to are in admin-functions.php.
I haven't been able to track down yet where the brackets are stripped out, but it has to be something new to 2.0.4 and 2.1 Alpha 2. I tried fresh installs of 2.0.3, 2.0.4, and 2.1 Alpha 2, and 2.0.3 is the only installation that works properly.
As a workaround, I renamed the theme directory to not have any brackets in it.
I plan on posting a bug report shortly.
feanor, does your theme's directory happen to have brackets in it, or is my issue completely unrelated?
Maybe having brackets in a directory name is not the wisest thing to do...
There really isn't much need for brackets in a directory name..!? What's the point of it anyways..? =/
It's bad enough now, helping people upload their themes properly..sigh.. Brackets would just add to the problem even more. [rolls eyes]..people..I tell ya lol!
Last time I checked, a bracket is a valid text character for use in a file/directory. If I have a valid directory name, it should be handled correctly.
Previous comments are basically saying parenthesis or underscores shouldn't be handled either since there isn't "much need" for them. Just because something is seldom used does not mean it shouldn't be handled correctly.
Anyways, the bug report is filed.
I know it's somewhat rare to use a bracket, but if WordPress isn't going to handle the use of brackets properly, it should at least prompt the user to rename the directory to something that WordPress finds acceptable. If this isn't the case, then it is a bug, plain and simple, and should be addressed.
I posted the bug report to the following page:
I later found out where the troublesome code is, which you can see from the above link is a section of code in wp-includes/pluggable-functions.php .
For those having problems, the easiest fix for now would be to rename the directory that is causing the issues. Otherwise, either revert to the 2.0.3 code in pluggable-functions.php (as mentioned in the bug ticket link above), or wait until the devs officially fix the problem.
no offense, but moshu and spencerp, maybe you could can the sarcasm and holier-than-thou attitude when trying to help some of us in the forums. There are quite a few people who are new at this and might not understand why you shouldn't have your files set at 777 or why putting prackets in file names "is not the wisest thing to do..."
just my two cents.
Trasnam, I know I'm going to sound totally noobish here, but I'm not entirely sure what you mean.
The theme in question is ChaoticSoul v.1.0 (as displayed in the themes dir). Here's the odd thing - even after getting the error, when I look at the template file I just edited and got the error on, the changes are saved...
Let me know where/what to look for and I'll be happy to provide any information I can.
Just as a point of reference, the two themes that come default with WP (classic and default) both work with no problems.
And as a side note, I didn't leave my dir at 777 :) I was just trying to state that changing perms didn't help with the problem.
Unfortunately this problem not only affects brackets. It affects spaces also (among other characters, like parenthesis, for instance).
I suggest for now to rename the directory to ChaoticSoul, or ChaoticSoul_v1.0.0 or the like. It should then work properly.
It all comes down to the preg_replace line in wp-includes/pluggable-functions (that I mentioned in the bug ticket) that limits what characters are allowed. Apparently this fixes some IIS bug, but messes things up for us.
trasnam - worked like a charm. simple fix (without being a coder, i tend to like those the best).
I'm glad I could help. Who would have thought that something as innocent as a space in the directory name would be causing the problem?
This "fix" *might* make it into the SVN branch/ and trunk/, but..won't be publically accessible per se..unless they add it quick, some how into the downloadable zip or tar for 2.0.4. =/ (And of course..the people that know how to grab the SVN copies lol..but, it's cool though. )
But, I'll check out the "fix" or whatever then k. =) See what happens.. =p Congrats on taking this upon yourself.. =)
I don't exactly have a real fix, since I doubt just replacing the trunk/branch code with 2.0.3 code would be a proper fix. Obviously the change was made for a reason, so it probably fixed something with the IIS cookie bug that wasn't properly fixed in 2.0.3.
As it stands now, I'm not sure what to do to properly fix it. If I understood more about that IIS cookie bug (that is addressed by the code), maybe I'd have a good fix.
I'll definitely keep track of the bug though, and see if anybody has any ideas to make sure the code works properly for all users.
One thing to note though is that the stripping code only runs upon clicking "Update File" on the Theme Editor page. Before this point, both $file and $files_allowed have matching values for the file being edited. I'm not sure if that helps at all, but figured I'd mention it. Maybe that stripping code can just not be called upon submission somehow?
If I think of anything else, I'll be sure to post it to the bug ticket.
Brackets were frequently used in paths fed to servers (FTP, HTTP, etc.) in an attempt to inject scripts/commands.
The fact that it's acceptable to use on a local filesystem isn't the same as acceptable "in the wild".
trasnam, Oh ok! I didn't check out your ticket and must have misunderstood ya then... No wait, it's because I'm going on -24 hours sleep.. that's what it is lol!! =p =)
Not wanting to sound stupid but...I would like to remove the menu on my site - http://www.blog.futurebright.com.au titled Meta and all items in this menu, ie login, rss, comments rss, valid xhtml, xfn, wp. Can anyone help with this, also, why are they there in the first place. Thanks
BarryE, can you post a new thread please? This will keep down the confusion for the Original Poster here.. ;) Thanks. =)

Background: Previous studies have suggested that patients with a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or minor ischemic stroke and isolated aphasia should be carefully screened for a potential cardiac source of embolism. Most of these publications, however, were case reports or small-series. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between isolated aphasia and atrial fibrillation (AF) as the cause of presumed cardioembolic TIA or stroke within the setting of 2 large multicenter trials. Methods: The frequency of isolated aphasia was compared between patients with a TIA or minor ischemic stroke either with AF [European Atrial Fibrillation Trial (EAFT), n = 1,001] or without AF [Dutch TIA Trial (DTT), n = 3,150]. We analyzed data with univariable and multivariable logistic regression. Isolated aphasia was defined as aphasia without dysarthria, visual-field defects or motor or sensory deficits of the arm, leg or face. Because dysarthria can be difficult to detect in aphasic patients, a second analysis was done without excluding dysarthric patients. In a third analysis, we excluded patients with a symptomatic lacunar infarct from the DTT, as these patients were overrepresented due to the exclusion of patients with AF. Subgroup analysis was performed for patients presenting with TIA and minor stroke. Results: Of 4,151 patients, 210 (5.1%) had isolated aphasia, 109 from the EAFT and 101 from the DTT, crude odds ratio (OR) 3.69, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.79-4.89. Patients with isolated aphasia were older (mean age 70.3 vs. 66.8 years, p < 0.01), more often female (OR 1.87, 95% CI 1.41-2.46), and more often had diabetes (OR 1.73, 95% CI 1.16-2.59) and hypercholesterolemia (OR 1.83, 95% CI 1.11-3.03) than those without aphasia. After simultaneous adjustment for age, sex, diabetes and hypercholesterolemia, patients with isolated aphasia still had AF more often than patients without isolated aphasia (adjusted OR 2.94, 95% CI 2.16-4.01). Both after inclusion of patients with dysarthria in the group of patients with isolated aphasia and after exclusion of patients with a symptomatic lacunar infarct, essentially the results remained the same. Patients presenting with isolated aphasia due to a TIA tended to have AF more often than patients with a minor ischemic stroke. Conclusions: Isolated aphasia is an independent sign of AF in patients with a TIA or minor ischemic stroke. Careful cardiac screening seems warranted in patients with isolated aphasia, as secondary prevention is different in patients with a cardiac source of embolism.

Acute isolated aphasia without paresis or other neurological symptoms is a well-known clinical stroke syndrome. Previous studies have suggested that patients with isolated global aphasia should be carefully screened for a potential cardiac source of embolism [1,2,3]. Most of these publications, however, were case reports or small-series. Moreover, the definition of isolated aphasia varied. If isolated aphasia would indeed be related to cardioembolic stroke, this would have important clinical implications. In patients presenting with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), a cardiac embolic source is evident, but in those with paroxysmal AF or other subclinical cardiac disorders, further investigations are needed to detect a cardioembolic source. Once found, secondary prevention in these patients will be different from in those in whom a vascular cause of the stroke is most probable [4]. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between isolated aphasia and AF as presumed cardioembolic stroke within the setting of 2 large multicenter trials.
The frequency of isolated aphasia was compared between patients from 2 randomized controlled trials which included patients with a TIA or nondisabling ischemic stroke (grade 3 or less on the modified Rankin scale) in the previous 3 months. One trial included only patients with (nonrheumatic) AF [European Atrial Fibrillation Trial (EAFT)] [5] and the other only patients without AF [Dutch TIA trial (DTT)] [6,7]. In the EAFT trial, 1,007 patients were recruited. Five of them had been enrolled inappropriately and the notification form for 1 was missing; consequently, the data of 1,001 patients were available for our analysis. In the DTT, 3,150 patients participated in the study. In both studies, the clinical symptoms of the qualifying event were recorded in detail. Isolated aphasia was defined as aphasia without dysarthria, visual-field defects or motor or sensory deficits of the arm, leg or face. Because dysarthria can be difficult to detect in aphasic patients, a second analysis was made without excluding dysarthric patients. Furthermore, in the DTT, patients with AF were excluded, leading to an overrepresentation of symptomatic lacunar infarcts [8]. We therefore did a third analysis excluding patients with symptomatic lacunar infarcts from the DTT. Logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). We adjusted ORs for differences between patients from the 2 trials. In addition, we did a subgroup analysis comparing patients presenting with a TIA and minor ischemic stroke. Both studies were approved by the institutional review board and were thus performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki. All patients provided informed consent prior to their inclusion. When the patient was unable to understand the study procedures due to the TIA or stroke, consent was obtained from a proxy.
In this study, we analyzed 4,151 patients; 3,150 (75.9%) without AF and 1,001 (24.1%) with AF (table 1). The male:female ratio was 1:0.6. Isolated aphasia was present in 210 (5.1%) patients. Patients with isolated aphasia more often had AF, diabetes and hypercholesterolemia than patients with other stroke types (table 2). In addition, patients with isolated aphasia were older (mean age 70.3 vs. 66.8 years, p < 0.01) and were more often female (OR 1.87, 95% CI 1.41-2.46). After simultaneous adjustment for age, sex, diabetes and hypercholesterolemia, patients with isolated aphasia still had AF more often than patients without isolated aphasia (table 2). Inclusion of dysarthric patients in the group of patients with isolated aphasia essentially gave the same results, with minimal differences in risk estimates and overlapping 95% CIs. After exclusion of patients with symptomatic lacunar infarcts in the DTT, the results remained essentially the same. The relationship between isolated aphasia and AF tended to be stronger amongst patients with a TIA (adjusted OR 4.33, 95% CI 2.44-7.70) than patients with a minor ischemic stroke (adjusted OR 2.55, 95% CI 1.77-3.67).
Our data show that in patients with a TIA or minor ischemic stroke who present with isolated aphasia, AF is more common than in TIA or stroke patients with other symptoms or a combination of symptoms. This confirms the hypothesis that cardioembolic sources are more likely to be found in stroke patients with isolated aphasia than in those with other symptoms.
Before our results can be accepted, some issues with respect to the differences between the 2 randomized clinical trials used in our study need to be addressed. Aphasia and other signs of cortical infarction are more frequent than lacunar stroke in patients with AF [9,10,11]. In the DTT, patients with a cardiac source of embolism were excluded, which led to an overrepresentation of patients with a lacunar infarct [8]. This implies that in the non-AF group, aphasia was a priori less frequent. In a subgroup analysis, we adjusted for the difference between the 2 trials by excluding patients from the DTT who fulfilled the Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) criteria for symptomatic lacunar infarcts. This did not influence our results much. However, classification of stroke subtype using clinical and imaging data remains inferior to pathological confirmation.
Second, both trials included patients with grade 3 or less on the modified Rankin scale. The majority of patients presenting with isolated aphasia are independent in daily living; however, patients with severe global aphasia are not. It is unlikely that these patients were excluded more often in 1 trial than in the other. This assumption is justified, as the catchment areas of the trials were largely similar. Even if exclusion of isolated aphasia would have occurred more often in 1 of the trials, it would have been more likely to happen in the AF group, which would mean that our results are an underestimation of the relationship of isolated aphasia with AF. Third, the mean age of AF patients was higher than non-AF patients, reflecting the fact that the frequency of AF increases with age. This probably also explains why women were overrepresented in the AF group, as their life expectancy is greater. The relationship between isolated aphasia and AF remained after adjustment for age and sex. Interestingly, this relation tended to be stronger for patients presenting with a TIA. This could partly be explained by the tendency of TIAs to be more frequent in the left hemisphere than ischemic strokes [12].
Global aphasia typically results from large perisylvian lesions, therefore adjacent motor areas are usually affected [2,10]. Consequently, isolated global aphasia without hemiparesis is a striking and relatively rare phenomenon. The hypothesis that isolated aphasia is of cardioembolic origin was first introduced 1982 when 3 patients were described with global aphasia without hemiparesis [1]. These patients had two anatomical lesions in both the anterior (Broca) and posterior (Wernicke) language areas without affecting the motor cortex in between. Because separate branches of the middle cerebral artery supply these two language areas, an embolic source of stroke was suggested. Subsequent reports described a number of cases suggesting other anatomic possibilities, some with only one lesion [13,14,15,16]. The majority of cases seem to be of cardioembolic origin; in a combined analysis of 22 patients with isolated aphasia, 13 patients met the TOAST criteria for cardioembolic stroke [2,17]. Some of these cases, however, presented with a right-sided hemiparesis that improved quickly.
In conclusion, our data suggest that isolated aphasia is an independent sign of a potential cardiac source of embolism. This finding may have implications for TIA or ischemic stroke patients who present with isolated aphasia and in whom there is no obvious cardiac source of emboli, e.g. in patients with paroxysmal AF. In such patients, a careful cardiac screening, including prolonged rhythm monitoring, seems warranted.

Pellet gun vandalism continues in Rutland areaBy Brent Curtis
STAFF WRITER | January 24,2013A vandalism spree involving the use of a pellet gun to shatter car windows in the Rutland area continued for a second day with about 30 reports, according to Rutland City Police.
On Wednesday, police in the city fielded complaints from about 75 people — mostly car owners along with about a dozen homeowners and a half dozen business owners — whose windows had been shot out sometime between midnight and 6 a.m. Wednesday.
On Thursday, the damage continued with about 30 reports from residents in Rutland, Center Rutland and West Rutland whose vehicles were vandalized overnight and, in about eight instances, during the day.
"I went inside for about 10 minutes earlier today and when I came out my window was shot out," Scott LaFrancois said waving his hand around the empty space once occupied by the driver's side window of his Chevrolet Cavalier.
LaFrancois, whose car was parked in a lot on Meadow Street in the city when the vandalism occurred, didn't see the shooter but he suspected a dark sport utility vehicle containing a teenaged driver and passenger who laughed as they drove by the scene shortly after.
"They spotted me and I could see the 'Oh (expletive)' expressions on their faces," he said.
But Rutland City Police Sgt. John Sly said police had reason to believe a different vehicle was involved.
"We have some information from a very credible source so it's looking like the (dark colored SUV) might not be the vehicle we're looking for," Sly said.
The sergeant didn't say what vehicle police believe might have been involved because they are pursuing a lead in search of a specific suspect.
With a tally of vandalism reports within the last 36 hours exceeding 100 cases, Sly said the spree was the worst of its kind in a long time.
"It's the most expensive and the most widespread we've seen in awhile," he said. "It's impacted a significant amount of people and I'm not exaggerating when I say the damage is in the tens of thousands of dollars."
The spree has also been unusual for the acts of vandalism committed during the day when there are more potential witnesses, he said.
If police are able to make an arrest in the case, Sly predicted that dozens of felony charges of unlawful mischief could be forthcoming and he appealed to the public to help find those responsible.
"If a vehicle doesn't fit in the neighborhood or is passing slowly, please call us right away," he said. "If you can get a license number that's great but at a minimum a description of the vehicle and direction of travel phoned into us right away would be a great help."
Anyone with information about the vandalismsis asked to call Rutland Police at 773-1816.

Loving your work requires sacrificeIf we stick for a moment with the "passion work" scenario I mentioned earlier, I notice that some people tend to assume that doing work you love is free of difficulties and that everything will be well in your life if you just switch careers. It is not. Doing work you love may cost you dearly, especially in the initial stages, and everyone choosing such a path should be willing to pay the price of admission.

Guadalupe Tristan and her daughters 18-year-old Lupita, 15-year-old Adriana, and 11-year-old Claudia are participating in the Junior League, Inc. Hispanic Mother-Daughter Program, a college preparatory program for Hispanic girls at The University of Texas at Austin School of Social Work.
The program, which serves 1,016 students and their mothers from 17 Austin Independent School District schools, is celebrating its 10th year anniversary this year. Each member of the Tristan family served as a keynote speaker at recent anniversary ceremonies.
Developed to provide Hispanic female students in grades 6-12 with the educational and social support needed to encourage academic and personal success, the Hispanic Mother-Daughter program provides tutoring services, computer training, individual academic counseling, mentoring and workshops to improve performance on standardized tests. There also are weekend conferences and parent support groups.
Students are required to maintain an 85 or better grade-point average and to complete a certain number of volunteer hours each academic year. Thus far, the program has had two graduating classes and will be sending off its third group of students to college this year.
"The program thrives on the natural bond between mothers and daughters," said Executive Director Rose Regalado. "Each mother-daughter pair is a team, focusing on building their friendship and creating a world of possibilities for the future. They begin their journey together during the daughter's sixth-grade year and continue through her high school graduation."
Lupita Tristan believes the mother-daughter bond is essential for the program. "I think that going through adolescence is a trying time for both mothers and daughters neither one of them is too sure about what's going on in the other's mind," said Lupita, a recent graduate of the program who is studying international business and Spanish at Concordia University and works at the Austin law firm of Locke Liddell & Sapp. "The program gave us some common ground and served as a catalyst for conversation."
The program, said Lupita, helps the mothers understand the new traditions and habits that are being formed in society while it teaches the girls about their heritage. "But most important," she said, "the program helps women (both mothers and daughters) see themselves as accomplished individuals. It helps us realize that "yeah, there may be a 50 percent high school drop-out rate for Hispanic girls, but I don't have to be part of that statistic."
"I can do more. I am capable. I possess the intelligence and drive to finish school. I can be a doctor, a lawyer, a teacher, a judge or anything I want to be."
While Lupita wants to be a lawyer, her sister, Adriana, wants to attend college to study psychology and English. A freshman at Bowie High School, Adriana is a candidate for treasurer of the Class of 2005, plays the clarinet in the school band and is a member of the Bowie Silver Star varsity dance team.
"Through the program I have learned about my Hispanic heritage, received tutoring lessons for tough classes and found ways to improve my relationship with my mother," Adriana said. I want to attend college, make excellent grades and meet a lot of people.
With two older sisters in the Hispanic Mother-Daughter Program, youngest daughter Claudia always knew she would join. A sixth grader at Bailey Middle School, Claudia participates in the pep squad and plays the harp, which was a special gift from her grandfather. She is dedicated to earning good grades and plans to attend college to study veterinary medicine.
One of her favorite program activities was an overnight trip to the university campus where she met new friends and learned how to exercise more.
Guadalupe credits the program with forging a stronger relationship among her and her daughters.
Although she and her husband went to college in Mexico, many of the girls in the program will be the first in their family to seek degrees in higher education. Regardless of her background, Guadalupe said she didnt have a clue how to proceed with U.S. college preparations applications, admissions requirements and scholarship inquiries for her daughters.
"Most parents are in the dark as to how to pay for school or even fill out applications, said Lupita. My mother had the process explained to her and, during the entire hassle of college admissions, we were really able to talk about it and look at other options because we both understood."
The quest to increase the representation of Hispanic females in college to see a once awkward and shy sixth grader blossoming into a young woman with high aspirations has been a truly amazing experience, said Regalado.
As their final high school years draw to a close and the college acceptance letters start rolling in," Regalado said, "we begin hearing jubilant proclamations of I got in!" And, that is when we know that we have made some small differences in the lives of our students.

- Amanda (March 10th, 2016)
I love this product. I love toners, I have used almost everyone out there, by far this is the best. It helps reduce oil and is not harsh on my skin.
- Emily (March 1st, 2016)
I've been using this for over a month AM/PM after the foaming cleanser and would never want to be without it. My skin is always a little tight after I wash it no matter what cleanser I use, but with a few sprays of this toner and a quick facial massage, my skin is perfectly balanced. Treatments and moisturizers apply so much easier! Love the glass bottle, the refreshing scent, and I sometimes even mist my face with it in the afternoon for a quick pick-me-up.
Best toner I've ever used!
- Krista (February 4th, 2016)
This came with my oily skin starter kit. I had high hopes based on the rave reviews and was excited to try it because it is alcohol free and I needed something that would clean my pores...however, like a couple of other reviewers it made me break out in tiny little bumps. I'm suspecting an allergy to an ingredient rather than acne. It also felt kind of sticky and made my face super shiny. I gave it to my partner and he loves it and uses it everyday (I got him hooked on bioelements now). Other than that. I LOVE all of the other products I purchased. Never going back to my old skincare lines. Bioelements is liquid magic and my skin has never looked so good!
I wanted to love it...

Why I'm Buying in China
(JADA) is off 92% from where it opened in January. Then, I wasn't interested because I had other, more inexpensive companies on my plate. Now, I'm a fan --- especially because the company deals with raw jade, and I consider this a luxury good. When good companies get cheap, I get greedy. If you want a couple ideas to compare this to, look at Fuqi International (FUQI), Zale (ZLC), Blue Nile (NILE) and LJ International (JADE).Fuqi is up over 300% in the last three months. What was once a cheap, good company is slowly but surely becoming more reasonably priced. We aren't there yet, but we are getting there. LJ International is more likely to go up than down in my opinion, as well. In time, investors are likely to become more certain than uncertain, and companies that make wise decisions are more likely to continue to exist through tough times than those that do not. If you follow the sentiment of the headlines, you'll likely be buying high and selling low. Nobody really knows everything, but everyone is willing to tell you what they think if you ask. If you entrust others to do your homework for you, how do you expect to beat them? Listen to those who beat the market and question everything all the time. Read what they say, not the headlines. Warren Buffett in his "Buy American. I Am" piece was on the same page I was. U.S. Treasuries were overbought. U.S. stocks were cheaper than they had been in a long time. He was speculating that at that point in time, stocks were a better investment than Treasuries. Misunderstanding driving directions could land you in an entirely different destination and out of gas. Misunderstanding investment legends is no different. I would speculate that he was not saying that American stocks were the best investment at the time, just comparatively better. He's also been quoted as saying: "The 19th century belonged to England, the 20th century belonged to the U.S., and the 21st century belongs to China. Invest accordingly." And so, that's what I'm doing.If you want to buy low and sell high, here's idea No. 1. Jade Art Group

Numerous writers have claimed that a distressingly large percentage of students entering college--and especially those entering community colleges--are ill equipped to meet the kinds of intellectual challenges that their college experience will, or should, present to them. More particularly, it is claimed that many students who have completed secondary school are unable to engage in abstract or, in Piagetian terms, formal operational thinking ( Carpenter, 1980; Chiapetta, 1976; Karplus, 1974; Kolodiy, 1975; Lawson & Renner, 1974; McKinnon, 1971; McKinnon & Renner, 1971; Renner & Lawson, 1983; Tomlinson-Keasey, 1972; Towler & Wheatley, 1971). These students appear to be stuck at the concrete-operations stage of cognitive development.
Concern about this problem has motivated the development of several programs designed to teach formal operational thinking to entering college students who appear to need such training. Many of these programs have a strong Piagetian orientation and make use of the "Learning Cycle" approach to instruction developed by Karplus ( 1974; also Campbell, Fuller, Thornton, Petr, Peterson, Carpenter, & Narveson, 1980; Fuller, 1980).
The "Learning Cycle" distinguishes three phases of learning process: (1) a relatively unguided exploration phase, (2) an invention phase, and (3) an application phase. The Piagetian flavor of the approach is seen in the care that is taken to introduce students to concrete concepts before confronting them with abstract relationships. During the exploration phase of the learning cycle, students engage in exploratory activities involving concrete experiences in a fairly open-ended and non-directed way. During the invention phase, they are encouraged to generalize concrete experiences

I always been a fan of the Unova starters, thats why it takes my votes. its the only region where I like all 3 starters and all their evolutions (not counting Kalos) -
Especially Oshawott's evolution
, most other regions I only like 1 or 2 starters, or part of their evolution.
in my view part of my reasoning why Unova is my choice:
: 2 out of 9 (I only like Squirtle and Wortortle)
: 3 out of 9 (Cyndaquil's evolution only)
: 4 out of 9 (Sceptile and Mudkip's evolution)
: 1 out of 9 (Only like Torterra)
: 9 out of 9 (all starters and their evolutions too)
: I will have to wait until all their evolutions are revealed
Many of my favorite Pokemon are water types so again Oshawott (along with Squirtle, Mudkip, and Froakie - total of 4 out of 6 regions/generations, water type wins for me) takes my vote, for the type.
Once again, I'm a huge fan of sea-otters so Oshawott always takes my #1 vote as the favorite starter - its my final reasoning for my vote going to Unova.
so to answer question: Best Starter all Region? - Unova

The region Stephen McCullah, the organizer of the expedition, has chosen to explore is the reputed home of the Mokèlé-mbèmbé, a dinosaur-like creature said to be up to 35 feet long (11 meters), with brownish-gray skin and a long, flexible neck.Many locals believe that it lives in the caves it digs in riverbanks, and that the beast feeds on elephants, hippos and crocodiles.
McCullah posted his pitch on Kickstarter.com asking for $27,000 in donations so that he and his friends can launch the Newmac Expedition, "one of the first expeditions in this century with the goal of categorizing plant and animal species in the vastly unexplored Republic of the Congo." The preliminary four-man venture is slated to launch June 26.

Luce Editor's Pick
Luce is not easily defined. Think mom-and-pop grocery meets spare hideaway, as imagined by two eccentrics (Navarre's John Taboada and shop owner Giovanna Parolari) with great taste and a love for the "old-men places" in Italy, where the locals eat, shop, and drink. Candlelit shelves stretch from the floor clear to the ceiling, inviting a treasure hunt for imported foods and Italian wine finds, available to drink on-site for just a corkage fee. At tiny oak tables, an understated menu kicks off with a carnival of $2 antipasti bites begging for impromptu table parties and ends with double-decker sponge cake billowing pastry cream and pistachios. In between come a fine stuffed trout, a dandy bowl of spaghetti and clams, and the best bowl of soup to be found: cappelletti in brodo (stuffed pasta in broth). Two bites in, the question arises: have I stumbled into a Fellini movie, another roadside attraction in Lombardy, or a food lover's minimart as imagined in Portland? Yes, yes, and yes.

Cereal Philanderer is a weekly feature in which Jason Sheehan talks about cereal more than he probably should.
Breakfast of champions
Cereal du jour: Cookie Crisp, which is only a breakfast cereal by the loosest of all possible definitions.
History: Cookie Crisp was inveneted in 1977. I imagine it went something like this, a conversation between some big cereal magnate and his sycophantic cereal developer.
Big Cereal Magnate: "Johnson! Get in here right now!"
Sycophantic Cereal Developer: "Yessir, Mr. Moneybucks, sir. What can I do for you?"BCM: "I've been thinking, Johnson. You know what the kids today really like?"
SCD: "Drugs, sir? And bell-bottomed trousers?"
BCM: "Well, yes. But I'm really talking about children, Johnson. And do you know what children like?"
SCD: "What, sir?"
BCM: "They like cookies. Lots and lots of cookies. Now they can already have cookies at lunch and they can certainly eat cookies at dinner. But what I want you to do is to find a way to make them eat cookies for breakfast."
SCD: "You want a breakfast cereal made of cookies, sir?"
BCM: "Exactly!"
And . . . scene.
Actually, the real story is even more disturbing than that. Cookie Crisp was developed in 1977 by Ralston Purina. Yeah, the dog-food company. In order to make it (arguably) less creepy, it was actually manufactured by what RP called its "Human Food Operation."
Wisely, none of this was ever used in the advertising.
The Box: In a perfect example of the old adage about leading with strength, the Cookie Crisp box always shows a cereal bowl full of cookies and milk.
The Product: Oddly, for a cereal which is advertised as "The great taste of chocolate-chip cookies and milk," and which appears to contain nothing more than hundreds of tiny chocolate-chip cookies, Cookie Crisp doesn't really taste like cookies. Or at least not like any kind of cookies that a rational human being would eat willingly. The "cookies" taste kind of muddy and sickeningly sweet, with a vaguely chemical aftertaste which is really disturbing.
Never a terribly popular cereal, apparently, the producer (currently General Mills) came to realize that somehow they'd managed to fuck up selling cookies to children for breakfast, and so in 2009 launched a secondary product.
Breakfast cookies with sprinkles.
Best Feature: If you really want to eat cookies for breakfast, this is the most guilt-free way.
Worst Feature: The "cookies" taste like they were designed by a DOW chemical engineer who'd never actually tasted a chocolate chip cookie before.
Is It Better or Worse Than Apple Jacks?: Worse. Way worse. As a matter of fact, for an adult to enjoy Cookie Crisp, he'd have to either be stranded on a desert island with a tree that only grew Cookie Crisp, or so stoned that he thinks he is stuck on a desert island with a cookie tree.

How owls rotate their heads without injury
Scientists explain how bird can rotate its head without cutting off blood supply to brain; lack of such adaptations could explain why humans are more vulnerable to neck injury
Johns Hopkins Medicine reports that a team of Hopkins experts, led by medical illustrator Fabian de Kok-Mercado, have figured out how owls can almost fully rotate their heads—without damaging delicate blood vessels in their necks and heads, and without cutting off blood supply to their brains. Their study, acknowledged in the Feb. 1 issue of Science, found four major biological adaptations designed to prevent injury from rotational head movements.
Researchers say that the lack of such adaptations in humans could explain why humans are more vulnerable to neck injuries caused by sudden gyrations of the head and neck--whiplashing car accidents, jarring roller coaster rides, or chiropractic manipulations gone awry.
"Until now, brain imaging specialists like me who deal with human injuries caused by trauma to arteries in the head and neck have always been puzzled as to why rapid, twisting head movements did not leave thousands of owls lying dead on the forest floor from stroke," says study senior investigator and interventional neuroradiologist Philippe Gailloud, M.D. "The carotid and vertebral arteries in the neck of most animals - including owls and humans - are very fragile and highly susceptible to even minor tears of the vessel lining," adds Gailloud, an associate professor in the Russell H. Morgan Department of Radiology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

Re: Obama Fantasy
Oh, I don't think it's too early to question Plouffe's sanity, James. Greg Sargent notes that the Quinnipiac Poll finds a majoriity voters in four (actual) swing states favor maintaining U.S. military deployment in Iraq "until the situation is more stable . . . without a fixed date for full withdrawal."
If voters in Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin don't share Obama's oft-expressed enthusiasm for a a rapid and unconditional withdrawal, how much sense does that Alaska trip make? And what if I told you that in two of those states (Michigan and Colorado) Obama is under 50% and McCain is within 5% or 6%? What if I further reminded you that Hillary won Michigan and that the DNC allotted Michigan's delegates only half-representation at the Democratic convention?
With such real cause for concern in these real battleground states, how can Team Obama even think about diverting their resources and their candidate's time to Alaska?
BTW, James, were you aware you just used "we" and "Obamacons" in the same sentence?

I am using a USB device from FTDI called FT4232H and I want to write on the EEPROM to make sure that some pins are set to inputs at start. I am using the D2XX drivers (pdf here). Here I found at page 106 that there is a struct called FT_EEPROM_4232H. Could this be something to use to make sure the pins are set to inputs at the beginning or is this totaly wrong? There are four UCHAR variables called A-, B-, C- and DDriverType. Does anyone know what these should be used for?
I realise this question is 3 months old now but I believe pins on the FTx232H series of chips only get set as GPIO once the MPSSE command
The EEPROM configuration is used to define things like drive strength, slew rate and whether the pin is a schmitt input and what each of the 4 ports are set up to be (async FIFO akin to FT245 series, serial port (FT232), etc).
If anyone else can disprove this, I would be interested to know also!

WASHINGTON — Locations in both Maryland and Virginia are on the table as the federal government searches for places to temporarily house thousands of unaccompanied children from Central America who have crossed illegally into the United States.
The White House has asked Congress for $3.7 billion in funding to help deal with the immigration crisis.
Youth for Tomorrow, a nonprofit group in Virginia, has agreed to house some of the children at its facility in Bristow.
Prince William County leaders are upset, claiming the federal Department of Health and Human Services never told them children were being housed at a local shelter.
"We're just disappointed frankly that the federal government didn't let us know what they were doing," said Board of Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart in an interview with WTOP Tuesday morning.
Stewart wants the county executive to investigate the issue further.
"We're going to direct the county staff to find out just how many kids are being held in Prince William County," he says.
"We're not going to accept children if we don't know what the long term plan is."
Stewart also pointed to health concerns, saying many of the children reportedly have tested positive for various illnesses and diseases.
Meanwhile, in Maryland, a strong negative reaction by Carroll County officials fended off a federal effort to use a site in Westminster for housing, according to The Washington Post.
A similar situation played out last month in the small Virginia town of Lawrenceville. Federal officials scrapped plans to set up a housing shelter after an angry outcry.

University of California system Board of Regents awards raises to 21 managers, retroactive to July 1
Salary increase approved for 21 managers in the University of California system
Point Loma UC San Diego Chancellor Pradeep Khosla, who has headed the La Jolla university for almost two years, will see his base pay increase to $423,417 as part of a systemwide raise that UC chancellors receive retroactive to July 1.
Twenty-one top managers in the University of California system — including 10 chancellors — are getting the 3 percent salary increases. The changes were unanimously approved this week by the UC Board of Regents.
Khosla has headed the University of California San Diego since August 2012. His 3 percent salary bump totals $12,333.
UC officials said senior managers have not had a salary increase since 2007, during which wages within the general labor market have increased 18.7 percent.
In the agenda item outlining the pay raise proposal, they said the lack of raises had harmed the university's ability to recruit and retain leaders and hurt its reputation. Three chancellors have left UC to accept positions for higher compensation in the past 18 months.
At the same meeting, the regents confirmed Sam Hawgood as the new chancellor at UC San Francisco, where he has served as dean of the UCSF School of Medicine and interim chancellor. The board approved a salary of $750,000 for Hawgood, which includes a state-funded base salary of $500,000 plus $250,000 to be funded through an endowed chair. Chancellors also receive an annual auto allowance and housing.
In San Diego, Khosla lives in a university-owned house in La Jolla that he moved into in December.
Chancellors' pay varies. Hawgood's salary was the highest, while on the low end were UC Merced Chancellor Dorothy Leland and UC Santa Cruz Chancellor George Blumenthal, whose base salaries are $319,300. Other chancellor pay included UC Berkeley's Nicholas Dirks, $501,404; UCLA's Gene Block, $428,480; UC Davis' Linda Katehi-Tseregounis, $412,000; UC Irvine interim Chancellor Howard Gillman, $367,071; UC Riverside's Kim Wilcox, $364,620; and UC Santa Barbara's Henry Yang, $324,450.
The highest paid of the 21 executives receiving raises were UCSF Medical Center CEO Mark Laret, whose base pay was increased to $963,050, and UCLA's David Feinberg, associate vice chancellor of health systems and CEO of the hospital system, whose base pay now is $927,009.
Faculty and non-unionized staff received 3 percent raises this year. Employees covered by bargaining agreements received varying raises, officials said.

Who: Onry Ozzborn, Candidt, Rudy and the Rhetoric, Xperience, Cancer Rising, Sonny Bonoho and more
Where: King Cobra
When: Thu., Aug. 21
Onry Ozzborn serves hosting duties.
Even if, like me, you were in Florida last week, trapped in deadline hell and your own inimitable iniquity and forced to grapple with the fickle Tropical Storm Fay and Gov. Charlie Crist's roguish smile and tan-creamed cheeks, all of which was later capped off by a gruesome head cold and feelings of vague regret, you still shoulda showed up, like I did, to last night's world-class showcase of local hip-hop talent. No ifs, ands, or buts.
Candidt and co make you see what they say.
If you didn't, because I'm a kind and gentle soul, I've decided to provide a brief recap punctuated by my pal and ace picture-maker Paul Diamond's gloriously angular photos.
Rudy and the Rhetoric require ear muffs.
The event's raison d'etre was the release of The Gigantics' Die Already disc. Produced by Onry Ozzborn of Grayskul fame and fortune, it features a football team of MCs, including, besides Mr. Ozzborn himself, Aesop Rock, Murs, Swollen, Boom Bap Project, Mr. Lif, and so many others I'm getting sweaty just thinking about typing out their names. Limited edition copies are available now, with a full nationwide pressing slated for Sept. 16. It took Mr. Ozzborn three years to make it, a testament not only to his artist stamina, but, me thinks, the difficulty of getting a bunch of rappers to do what you want.
Because I was crippled by disease, I only stayed for the first three sets, and I'm glad I did. Candidt, who's got a disc coming out in September, put on what amounted to a series of music videos, each of which was a visual representation of the songs he performed. I had my doubts about how this would play out--I feared it might come off like bad community theater--but he won me over from Jump Street. As my photographer pal Paul said, "It's better than some dude standing up there with a mic," which, I can assure you, is that morose bastard's way of saying Candidt's performance was good.
Up next was Rudy and the Rhetoric. These guys look like your average suburban white kids--until they hit the stage and go all Harris and Klebold. Which, I can assure you, is a compliment in this case, too. MC Rhetoric's eyes bug out like a rabid bat's when he's having what he labels a "rhymegasm," and DJ/Producer Rudy--well, let's just say his industrialized jambalaya of thrasher metal and electronica and hip-hop and fucking loud bass left my eardrums flopping on the deck. I'm still ringing, still dizzy, and still in awe.
Feel the Xperience.
Xperience rounded out my experience. He played the lone ranger with a mic, warming up the crowd with an impromptu rendition on an Outkast jam, the name of which escapes my achey-breaky head, before he dropped the hammer and huffed and puffed and straight up flowed over drum-heavy tracks. Good times, good times.
Sunday, please hit up Chop Suey for another spectacular line-up of familiar faces, including Grayskul, Spaceman, Ripynt, and my new favorite local duo, Rudy and the Rhetoric. Bring ear plugs. Seriously.

The sys admin's daily grind: ncdu
I've never heard of an admin having to remove disks from a server because of a chronic lack of data, but full disks are part of the daily grind. The du clone ncdu will help slim down your data.
I use Nagios to keep track of hard-disk capacity on my server disks. Whenever the successor to NetSaint kindly informs me that the remaining disk capacity on server XY has dropped below the magical threshold of 10%, I may be warned, but the trouble is just starting. If I'm out of luck, the whole data repository could reside on a RAID system without anything in the line of partitioning, and believe me, this is fairly typical for smaller servers. With a bit more luck, Nagios might tell me that the /var partition is the bottleneck, leaving me to launch du and find out where the disk hogs have their megabytes stashed. Unfortunately, output from the Disk Usage tool for overly complicated directory trees, like the ones I have, is less than intuitive.

Is Love Blind????
And yes, the reflection is real......
And yes, the reflection is real......
This is so often done with a wedding ring, but never with a pair of cheap reading glasses on a copy of Sir Gawain And The Green Knight open close to the end.
Is it sad that i just really want to know what book this is? but i love how "love is blind" is portrayed in the picture VERY well done in my opinion.
The photo itself is amazing
I'm very curious as to what book it is that you used for this.
I've been tying to find this picture for like six months now, only to have it saved in my favorites the whole time. FAIL.
Hmm,...the shadow almost looks as if it says, "LOVE".
^thats accentually supose to be cool
ol im gnna try that with my glasses
That's so neat. Did you just happen to see that or did you do it on purpose?
Wow, that's just amazing ! You really perfected the " Love makes us blind " thing, amazing job !! fave BIG TIME !
