Easy hosts file editing on OSX…
A nice little app called Gas Mask that resides in the "notification widgets" portion of the menu bar. It allows you to quickly load /etc/hosts and modify it. When you save it, it prompts for your system password. Easier than terminal + vi 🙂
Gas Mask can be found here.
How to find yesterday's date with bash…
I have a process that generates files daily. Rather than having to go delete them myself, I wanted to automate the task of removing the files. After all, the more the computer does for me, the less I have to do, right?
5 Mins of googling and I found this site. I am blantantly copying and pasting the post, this is NOT my post.
Date of yesterday in bash?
I recently had to hack a small shell script that would read files in a directory structure generated based on the date, something like 2007/08/16. The trick was that the script would look at yesterday's file or files generated a few days ago.
A quick search on info and here's the magic command
FILE="…$(date -d 'yesterday' +%Y/%m/%d)"
Interestingly, you can also use things like 3 days ago, next Monday, 2 months etc. Cool!
UTF8 Woes With Ruby 1.9
One of my projects at work is to consume "halfhose" from Gnip, which is half of the full Twitter firehose. Lots of fast data. Lots of UTF8. When working with the code, I kept getting "ruby 1.9: invalid byte sequence in UTF-8". Now, being that I am consuming Twitter, it should already be UTF8. You can't blindly do a .toutf8 on the string, as that actually tries to re-encode the already properly encoded UTF8.
So, I went googling and found this post which linked to this which has this snippet of code:
ic = Iconv.new('UTF-8//IGNORE', 'UTF-8') valid_string = ic.iconv(untrusted_string + ' ')[0..-2]
This block of code did the trick. It basicly removes invalid UTF8 characters. I can't say that I took the time to fully understand it, I just know that it works.
Daemon framework for Ruby: Forever
A light weight and simple micro framework for easy Ruby daemons.

How big are those files in that directory on my *nix system?
Ah, the command line. It can be awesome and a pain in the ass at the same time. In a GUI file manager, you can just highlight the files you want and get a total size of the selected files. On a *nix command line? Not so simple.
find . -iname '*.jpg' | sed "s/ /\\\\ /g" | xargs du -ksb | cut -f1 | xargs echo | sed "s/ /+/g" | bc
That does it 🙂 Breaking this monster down gives us the following.
First cd to the directory you want to check in.
cd Pictures
List the files. find finds files.
find . -iname '*.jpg'
./Picture3 001.jpg
./Picture3 002.jpg
./Picture4 099.jpg
List the files, excaping spaces. sed allows you to perform actions against the string being passed to it.
find . -iname '*.jpg' | sed "s/ /\\\\ /g"
./Picture4\ 001.jpg
./Picture4\ 002.jpg
./Picture4\ 003.jpg
./Picture4\ 099.jpg
List the files, getting file size. xargs allows you to take a line of input and execute it. du is used to get the disk usage size.
find . -iname '*.jpg' | sed "s/ /\\\\ /g" | xargs du -ksb
696009 ./Picture4 001.jpg
675879 ./Picture4 002.jpg
666862 ./Picture4 003.jpg
658225 ./Picture4 099.jpg
Cut the file size out of the listings. cut -f1 gives us the first field using 'space' as a delimeter.
find . -iname '*.jpg' | sed "s/ /\\\\ /g" | xargs du -ksb | cut -f1
Take all of our lines of file sizes and concatenate them to a single line.
find . -iname '*.jpg' | sed "s/ /\\\\ /g" | xargs du -ksb | cut -f1 | xargs echo
700696 702453 703594 ... 696009
Replace the spaces in our single line with '+'.
find . -iname '*.jpg' | sed "s/ /\\\\ /g" | xargs du -ksb | cut -f1 | xargs echo | sed "s/ /+/g"
700696+702453+703594+ ... +696009
Now take the output above and use bc to calculate it. bc is a simple command line calculator.
find . -iname '*.jpg' | sed "s/ /\\\\ /g" | xargs du -ksb | cut -f1 | xargs echo | sed "s/ /+/g" | bc
How big are all the jpg files in my pictures directory? 54,631,548 bytes.
So, command line? Pain in the ass to get something so simple, but pretty awesome that there are so many different, tiny programs for *nix that can work together to get you the results you want.
SSH Keys Made Simple
I have backup routines that I have setup on my laptop and my file server. I have Cygwin installed on both since both machines are Windows (hey, I love Linux too, shut up!). I use rsync over ssh to copy files from my laptop to the file server and then again use rsync to sync all the shared files from 1 500GB drive to another in the same machine (raid 1 didn't work out so well for me, even with a Promise Raid card installed). Having to type my password in 4 times to backup my laptop was annoying, so I decided to setup ssh keys between the laptop at the file server.
Fairly simple setup:
- Log into your shell (doesn't matter if its Cygwin or a standard Linux distro)
- Change to the .ssh directory
$ cd .ssh
- Generate the private/public key pair (use defaults, including the password, unless you wish to still type in a password on each connect)
$ ssh-keygen -t dsa
Generating public/private dsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/[username]/.ssh/id_dsa):
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /home/[username]/id_dsa.
Your public key has been saved in /home/[username]/id_dsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
aa:d3:81:89:31:13:01:7c:80:d8:e5:4d:90:b1:25:a6 [username]@[hostname]
- Transfer the file to the remote machine you wish to use the key to log into
$ scp id_dsa.pub firstname.lastname@example.com:./id_dsa.pub
- SSH to the remote machine
$ ssh [remoteusername]@[remotehostname]
- Touch the authorized_keys2 file, just in case it doesn't exist yet
$ touch ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2
- Set permissions on the authorized_keys2 file so that only the owner can read/write to it
$ chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2
- Copy the contents of the public key into the authorized_keys2 file
$ cat id_dsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2
- Delete the public key file, just because it's safer that way!
$ rm id_dsa.pub
- Logout of the remote server
$ exit
- SSH back into the remote server and test to see if it asks you for a password (assuming you did not enter a password while generating the keys earlier)
$ ssh [remoteusername]@[remotehostname]
Now you can ssh from your machine to the remote machine without using passwords but still keeping the remote machine secure.
jQuery Alternating Row Colors, Only Better!
So, today, I was charged with adding some alternating colors to some results lists in the project I am working on. Simple enough, right?
$('#tableid tbody tr:odd').addClass('tableodd');
Super simple, yet that wouldn't work, because there are 2 table rows per result. I did some googling and found this, which was pretty close to what I needed. In the end, I modified the code found on that page a bit and ended up with the following at the end of the function that actually populated the results table.
var classNames = {
0: '',
1: '',
2: 'tableodd',
3: 'tableodd'
$('#tableidtbody tr').not('[th]').each(function(index) {
$(this).addClass(classNames[index % 4])
Works great. If you need to add any additional rows to your result, then just add another row to classNames and change the index % 4 to how ever many items you have in your classNames array.
Hope someone else will find this useful.
Update your status everywhere at once!
So, I started playing with Twitter. I also have a Facebook and a Myspace. Updating statuses can be fun, but annoying when you have to log into a bazillion different sites all at once.
Enter Ping.fm. You can update your statuses from one place! You can do it via their website, AIM, Yahoo, MSN and even by texting. It's pretty sweet. Check it out!
I'm a nerd…
A few weeks ago I went to my brother-in-law's to hang out. I brought my laptop "just in case". We ended up sharing internet on my Sprint Mogul with WiFiRouter to the laptop (wirelessly if you couldn't figure out the 'wifi' part) and then used Windows Internet Connection Sharing to share the ethernet port to the XBox 360. We were on XBox live over Sprint!
So, to recap… Sprint Mogul -> WfiRouter -> Laptop -> XBox -> Playtime!!!
WTF, Microsoft!
So, because the office was closed today, I had the option to work at home so I didn't lose 8 hours pay. Great idea! So, I make sure to copy the code and database backup of my project before I left work the other night. Get up today to start working.
Sweet! Oh ya, I got to install Visual Studio 2008. No problem, I'll grab my copy of my file server and install it. LOLWUT? Can't copy file 67 of 71? Fine, I go find another copy. 2 hours later, it's installed.
Time to install Sql 2008 Express. Run setup. Wut? .Net framework 3.5 needs to be installed. I thought that came with Visual Studio 2008? Anyway, download it and install it. Rerun Sql Express setup. Now I gotta have Windows Installer 4.5. WTF? Just install! So, download that and install it. Run Sql Express setup AGAIN. OMFG! I need Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 installed! FINE. Download it, run it. Wow, it took 50 minutes to install the damn service pack. Funny, installing THE ENTIRE DAMN VISUAL STUDIO APPLICATION BUNDLE TOOK 20 MINUTES, but a service pack takes 50?
Nice going Microsoft. What should have taken no longer than an hour has now taken me damn near 5.

Hey, I just thought of another way. Between 12 and 12, this happens 11 times, so it happens every 12/11 hours. I checked the math, it gives the same answer.
Hey, did I just get suckered into doing couch's homework?
This question needs a pie chart.
But how long does it take for the minute hand to lap the second hand, from your frame of reference, when it is on a spaceship traveling away from your at 95% of the speed of light?

I see Chip hasn't replied to this thread. He must not have the answer. I couldn't have made it any easier for him, his name is in the freaking thread!

Boris likes us to think he's tackling air quality. He isn't, for a million reasons…
Great Boris Lies #12 – 'It Has Got Amazing New Air Conditioning'
Day five of the production models of the New Bus For London on route 24 – buses still breaking down:
@andysbusblog i travelled on two 24s today both broken down and were as hot as oven… not impressed
— Zoe Bateman (@ZoeBman) June 26, 2013
I have travelled on 5 24s in two days, two of these have broken down and all were as hot as ovens not impressed #tfl #routemaster #disaster — Zoe Bateman (@ZoeBman) June 26, 2013
Many passengers are reporting that the heat on the upper deck is unbearable, why don't the windows open and why isn't there air conditioning? There is air conditioning – that's why the ceiling on the upper deck is skull-smackingly low. Boris Johnson claims his expensive, bespoke bus:
has got amazing new air conditioning
Let's see what passengers have to say about the air conditioning:
New Route-master like a sauna.
— John Keevill (@otoid) June 26, 2013
If you want to lose weight go on the upper deck of the new route master and ride around London for 2 hours. Take deodorant.
— John Keevill (@otoid) June 26, 2013
Words of wisdom. If you design a new bus with windows that don't open make sure you put a thing called air con in it #tfl #24bus #Boris
— Pier (@hampsteadmiss) June 26, 2013
Two shiny new buses in the last few weeks. Boris bus a poor second: appalling ventilation, pathetic leg room, designed to be seen not used.
— Stefan Czerniawski (@pubstrat) June 26, 2013
First trip on a "new Routemaster" bus (route 24). First impression: design assumes adequate air con (windows don't open). It isn't adequate.
— Ruth Elleson (@RuthElleson) June 26, 2013
Just hopped on the back of a new #routemaster..pretty cool! Got upstairs, no windows to open and no air circulating…NOT COOL! #melting
— Kate Tame (@KateKtam) June 26, 2013
Love the new 24 bus for its look- but the heat on top deck is too much! @MayorofLondon give us a window?? #sweatybeforenoon
— Caz Lawrence (@cazlawrence) June 26, 2013
My first time on a 24 route master. Eeee it's so cool. BUT HOTTER THAN THE EARTH'S CORE.
— Tyler (@ActuallyTyler) June 25, 2013
on the new route master buses and they have no windows….? slightly baffled :s
— Channing_Certified_C (@ChanningC) June 25, 2013
@clivebull i caught the 38 tonight from Cambridge Circ to Vic. Really bumpy. AC only – so no windows to open for breeze. V. unimpressed.
— gerica (@primanirules) June 25, 2013
On new form 24 double decker bus. Cross between a Routemaster and the old biscuit tin type. Hot. Cramped. Two entrances and sets of stairs!
— Jackie Sadek (@JackieSadek) June 25, 2013
@TfLOfficial New 24 bus is a green house! Just like the abolition of slam door trains, we dont have control of our own temperature #24bus
— Alicia (@Alicia_Edwards) June 24, 2013
So went on the new 24 Routemaster bus. Looks good from the outside but for the love of God, why aren't there windows you can open??? #TFL
— Oliver Munson (@oliagent) June 24, 2013
@MayorofLondon My first trip on a new Routemaster. No windows, no air con. Brilliant. You must be very proud.
— Dan Aitch (@aitch_dan) June 24, 2013
First ride on a new Boris Bus today and the air con was fucked! Too toasty….
— stephen (@bonaaar) June 22, 2013
@TfLOfficial Not a fan of new Routemaster, was excited for route 24 but they're dark, oppressive & very stuffy. Felt travel sick in 5 mins
— Helen (@Hels_Bells1) June 22, 2013
First new #Routemaster ride. V pretty, wanted to love, but it was greenhouse hot at the back, too hi-tech for a simple openable window…
— Sophie (@sopchan) June 22, 2013
First trip on the new routmaster, a bit like the old routmaster, cramped & bit hot on the top deck #routemaster
— Wasim Ahmed (@werzwas) June 22, 2013
The new Routemaster is all very nice, except you can't open the windows and the air con is atrocious.
— Louis Porter (@Louisp56) June 22, 2013
It wasn't even that hot in London today – 21°. It can reach 30° or more in London in the summer. Never fear, I'll be on the upper deck of a 24 bus with my thermometer if it gets really hot later this summer.

Mary I (1516-1558). A Conference in her 500th Anniversary Year
England's first Queen regnant, Mary I, the daughter of King Henry VIII and Queen Catherine of Aragon, was born on 18 February 1516, at the Palace of Placentia in Greenwich. The aim of this conference is to bring together scholars doing new work on Queen Mary herself, her joint reign with her husband, King Philip of Spain (1554-1558), and on England's place in Europe and the rest of the world during her reign.

Paul Salzman (La Trobe), Editing early modern women: Alexander Dyce's Specimens of British Poetesses (1825)
In 1825 Alexander Dyce published a remarkable anthology of poetry by women writers from Juliana Berners to L. E. Landon. The forty or so writers in the collection who wrote prior to the mid eighteenth century form an impressively varied collection. In this paper I examine the sources Dyce used and the reasoning behind the anthology as a whole. Dyce's volume not only exemplifies the remarkably catholic taste of a nineteenth century editor, but it also serves as a paradigm for how the transmission of texts by early modern women continued into the nineteenth century, and intersected with something of a golden age for the editing of Renaissance literature in general. The anthology can as well be seen as an intervention in the way that contemporary women's poetry was being read during Romanticism and its aftermath. I will consider how significant this selection of women's poetry was for Dyce's other editorial activities, and how his volume related to other nineteenth-century editorial projects.

Belvoir Opens New WTU Housing
December 12, 2008
By Andrew Sharbel, Fort Belvoir PAO
Maj. Gen. Richard Rowe, comA,Amanding general of the Military District of Washington visited post Friday to cut the ribbon as Belvoir formally opened new Warrior in Transition Unit housing at Building 2109 in McRee Barracks. Installation commander and command sergeant major, Col. Jerry Blixt and Command Sgt. Maj. Allison Smith; Dewitt Healthcare Network's commander and command sergeant major, Col. Charles Callahan and Command Sgt. Maj. Dale Christopher; and WTU commander and first serA,Ageant, Capt. Eduardo Moten and 1st Sgt. Johnnie Bryant joined Rowe for the brief ceremony.
The new barracks will house the unit's Soldiers until the new WTU complex is completed and opened for use in 2011.
Belvoir invested $2.5 million into renovations for the building that was originally built in 1975.
Renovations to the barracks inA,Aclude new furniture, grab bars and fixtures in the bathrooms, new airA,Aconditioning and heating units, tile floors, kitchen appliances and a new air purification system to reA,Aduce the growth of mold.
Three of the renovated rooms comply with Americans with Disabilities Act specifications and a ramp will also be installed for acA,Acess.
Al Barbosa, the installation's barracks manager, welcomed all those in attendance and thanked everyone for their efforts in makA,Aing the renovations possible.
"Today is a day for thank you," Barbosa said. "A great deal of work and money has been expended to make improvements to the WTU barracks here at Fort Belvoir."
Bryant felt the Fort Belvoir team had done a wonderful job of accomplishing the goals set forth by the First Sergeant's Barracks Initiative, which transferred the administrative responsibility of the barracks from the assigned units to the garrison staff.
"I truly feel that the Belvoir team, the installation, Directorate of Public Works and barracks manA,Aagement, has done astonishingly well at accomplishing these goals." Moten thanked Blixt and his team for their never-ending supA,Aport and pointed out how critical the mission of the garrison is to the program.
"The Army definitely got this program right," Moten said. "I have witnessed time and time again how the WTU program has restored warriors and returned them to the fight and how it facilitated warriors reaching optimum medical benefit and empowered them to become proud and productive veterans able to succeed in their civilian lives.
"This newly renovated barracks is a shining example of the unwaA,Avering support provided by Fort Belvoir," Moten said.
Spc. William Swift is a WTU Soldier who is living in the newly renovated building.
"My old unit was really small and condensed and we had three rooms to a trailer," Swift said. "This is a lot better than I am used to and it is definitely more homey and spacious.
"I can now lay on my bed on one side of the room and watch TV, which is on the other side of the room, so it's really nice," Swift said.

Hartselle girl starring in local moviePublished 11:14am Wednesday, April 24, 2013
Maggie Guyse may have had one of her dreams come to life and it's not that she's in the lead role of a movie.
The F.E. Burleson Elementary student had the opportunity to see a unicorn, at least on the big screen.
"I love unicorns and I got a chance to ride one in the movie," Guyse said.
Guyse was actually riding a horse owned by an Eva woman that through the magic of movies became a unicorn in the movie "Little Josephine."
But that part of the movie was a little scary for her mom, Melea.
"Maggie likes to ride horses, but it was the first time she'd ever ridden a horse bareback," Melea said. "I was a little worried about it."
"Little Josephine" is a children's fantasy movie directed by Decatur director Jessica Lee. It's about a little girl who goes on an adventure to save the fairies' home from the evil pirates. On her adventure she also meets a prince, princess, unicorn and a dragon.
"My character has a big imagination," Maggie said. "What she draws comes to life in the movie . . . I have a big imagination, but it's not that big."
Because it is a fantasy movie, Guyse had the opportunity to act on a green screen with characters that will be generated in production.
In fact, Amaya the fairy, which is played by fellow College Street Players actress Keilee Terry, was shot almost entirely on a green screen. She and Maggie's character interact during the movie.
"It was hard to act when you didn't see the characters or like the fireballs that the dragon was blowing," Guyse said. "It was hard, but it was a great experience."
Guyse said one of the best parts of the film was the interaction between the other actors.
"Everybody was just hilarious to work with," Guyse said. "The pirates were hilarious. They almost couldn't stop laughing during their scenes."
Lee said they filmed the movie mostly in Decatur, as well as locations in Hartselle, Falkville and Montevallo. One in particular was Maggie's bedroom here.
"I kind of wanted to redo my room before we did the movie, but now I don't want to change it," she said. "We filmed a movie there."
The 40-minute movie will have a premiere Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Princess Theatre in Decatur. Tickets are $5.

NQ Responds To Muddy Waters Fraud Allegations With Paperweighty 97-Page Presentation
If the investing school of "Ackman-Tilson" is correct, in which nobody actually cares about the content, just the number of pages in a given "investing presentation" slideshow, then recently troubled Chinese mobile internet provider NQ just got the upper hand over Muddy Waters. Recall that on Thursday, with a "Strong Sell" report bashing NQ alleging the company is a fraud, Muddy Waters managed to cut the price of the company in question by over 50%. The size of that presentation: 81 pages. Moments ago NQ came out with its point by point rebuttal to Muddy Waters. The size of NQ's presentation: a whopping 97 pages. Game, set, match to NQ, duh.
P.S. For those confused, the above statement is sarcasm, wrapped in a farce, inside an absurdity. Just like this here "Bernanke market."

Chinese companies hold the highest of fiduciary standards and rampant fraud is not happening there.
I think they learned from the wall st. lizards but are just learning the 'hide in the shadows' part.
81+18=99, so 97 is two (too) short...not transposition...
all funny number game.
"sarcasm, wrapped in a farce, inside an absurdity"
..but continually managed and executed in yoctoseconds by an algorithm that is recursive and manifested above a line on top of a zero in a co-located in an instance of Planck Time that exists before the exchange is implemented.
Will someone please take away Manthong's "Quantum Mechanics for Dummies" book?
Does Muddy Waters have a web site or newsletter with their Chinese short picks? I kind of would like to short the shit out of Chinese scam stocks., Ching chong ding dong.
The only thing worse than Charlie Chan Corp. is the police state spy shit in Silicon Valley and Redmond. Google, Apple, Microshaft, Facebook, Tweeter, Oracle, the list is almost endless.
LOL! Part of their "presentations" is pictures of the interior of their offices but I see no people. ***king Chinese ghost offices.
Is this the Boiler Room (movie) defense when whiny Seth Davis (Giovanni Ribisi) goes to some medical company (IPO) and it is a dumpy office with a paper sign on some shitty street in Yonkers or some NYC exterior shithole area? The Chinese show some tacky office to prove it is not a nail salon.
This defense is pretty week.
freddie, your knowledge of Hollywood and Hollywood actors is Impressive

The one person sitting at a computer looks asleep... the receptionist looks to be hiding from the camera.
Those retail stores are very suspect - they claim 5,000 but the pictures show various mom/pop kiosk-style shops you find in those big giant malls in Beijing - those things turn over on a dime.. and unsold inventory is probably returned for a credit. It's the same distribution model that magazine publishers do with convenience stores which is why you see a lot of cheapo rags everywhere.
Will be interesting to see where this one goes...
China can back up their ponzi schemes as well as the US and in the same manner:

Saw a japanese govt guy interviewed on ABC TV tonight saying the Japs were ready to start shooting down Chinese aircraft, due to ~300 airspace intrusions in recent months. He more or less said this was a normal practice to reply to such things.

Definitions for tyretaɪər
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word tyre
Princeton's WordNet
Sur, Tyre(noun)
a port in southern Lebanon on the Mediterranean Sea; formerly a major Phoenician seaport famous for silks
tire, tyre(noun)
hoop that covers a wheel
"automobile tires are usually made of rubber and filled with compressed air"
The ring-shaped protective covering around a wheel which is usually made of rubber or plastic composite and is either pneumatic or solid.
An ancient sea port and city state of Phoenecia, in present-day Lebanon.
Origin: The Oxford English Dictionary suggests that the word derives from attire, while other sources suggest a connection with the verb to tie. The spelling tyre is used in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand after being revived in the 19th century. Both tyre and tire were used in the 15th and 16th centuries, but tire became the settled term in the 17th century and tyre became obsolete. The United States did not adopt the revival of tyre, and tire is the only spelling currently used there and in Canada.
Webster Dictionary
curdled milk
attire. See 2d and 3d Tire
to prey. See 4th Tire
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
See Tire.
tīr, n. (Spens.) attire, dress.—v.t. to adorn.
The Nuttall Encyclopedia
a famous city of ancient Phoenicia (q. v.), about 30 m. N. of Acre; comprised two towns, one on the mainland, the other on an island opposite; besieged and captured in 332 B.C. by Alexander the Great, who connected the towns by a causeway, which, by silting sands, has grown into the present isthmus; its history goes back to the 10th century B.C., when it was held by Hiram, the friend of Solomon, and sustained sieges by Nebuchadnezzar and others; was reduced by Cæsar Augustus, but again rose to be one of the most flourishing cities of the East in the 4th century A.D.; fell into ruins under the Turks, and is now reduced to some 5000 of a population.
Tyre, Lebanon
. Tyre, Armenian Տիր [Dir], sometimes romanized as Sour, is a city in the South Governorate of Lebanon. There were approximately 117,000 inhabitants in 2003. However, the government of Lebanon has released only rough estimates of population numbers since 1932, so an accurate statistical accounting is not possible. Tyre juts out from the coast of the Mediterranean and is located about 80 km south of Beirut. The name of the city means "rock" after the rocky formation on which the town was originally built. The adjective for Tyre is Tyrian, and the inhabitants are Tyrians. Tyre is an ancient Phoenician city and the legendary birthplace of Europa and Elissa. Today it is the fourth largest city in Lebanon and houses one of the nation's major ports. Tourism is a major industry. The city has a number of ancient sites, including its Roman Hippodrome which was added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1979.

Fun games that you can play. There are a lot of these that you can find and use for the classroom, as ice breakers and others. I found this site easy to use and had some cool ideas on it. I love games. This is going in my list of tools.
Classtools.net is one of my all time favorite graphic organizer/ video game playing site and also creator of the Fantastic Fakebook activity where students can create fake profiles (not really on facebook, they are simulated) on famous figures in history and literature. These are ideal for 1:1 laptop programs but the games are flashbased so if you use on an iPad you'll need to use a Flash browser (I think atomic web browser has flash mode.)
Common Sense media rates all of the Olympic Video games that you can purchase for children. Their top rating right now is for mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympics which you can get on Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS. Great ratings. Also note that they are now beta testing learning ratings which I think should be on learning but also should rate the analytics that come out of games for parents and educators.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Tony Allen to play in Game 7 tonight
Memphis Grizzlies guard Tony Allen's status was in doubt for tonight's Game 7 against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to eye swelling suffered in Game 6. But Memphis coach Dave Joerger announced before Game 7 that Allen would play Saturday.
Joerger said Tony Allen will play tonight after being poked in the eye in Game 6.— Darnell Mayberry (@DarnellMayberry) May 3, 2014
Joerger won't say who he's starting in place of Randolph. He said he won't start Tony Allen, though.— Darnell Mayberry (@DarnellMayberry) May 3, 2014
Allen came in contact with Caron Butler in Game 6 Thursday and woke up with swelling around his eye, according to Memphis Commercial Appeal sources.
Following Saturday's shootaround, the former Oklahoma State guard exited Grizzlies practice wearing dark, thick glasses and was accompanied by two Grizzlies staff members.
Joerger said Allen would not start. Joerger did not announce who the starter would be in Allen's place.
The Grizzlies will already be without starting forward Zach Randolph, who was suspended by the NBA one game for punching Steven Adams in Game 6. Point guard Mike Conley (hamstring) will also play tonight.

"Okap" Cap-Haïtien by jadamscap
Cap-Haïtien Travel Guide: 18 reviews and 17 photos
Cap-Haitien is a city of great contrasts, perhaps a microcosm of the entire country. Despite having an estimated population of around 700,000 people in the greater area, a small-town mentality persists, and it is not uncommon to see animals and people absentmindedly cross the street without so much as a glance at traffic.

Traditional small-scale fisheries are fundamental to the livelihoods and food security of hundreds of millions of people throughout the world. Yet marine ecosystems and the fisheries they support are facing unprecedented pressures. With 90% of global fish stocks already overfished or fully fished, and soaring demand for seafood, there is a critical need to diversify coastal livelihoods to reduce pressure on marine resources.
In southwest Madagascar, geographic isolation and an arid climate means there are few economic opportunities beyond fishing, and coastal people are highly reliant on the sea for their survival. We are working with these coastal communities and private sector aquaculture businesses to develop viable livelihood activities appropriate to the local environment and culture.

Working with the University of Toliara's Marine Science Institute (IHSM), local seafood exporter Copefrito and aquaculture company Indian Ocean Trepang (IOT), Blue Ventures is connecting isolated coastal communities with lucrative international markets for seaweed and sea cucumbers, enabling families to develop their own aquaculture businesses.
Our aquaculture specialists have trained over 700 people to become farmers of sea cucumbers (Holothuria scabra) and red "cottonii" seaweed (Kappaphycus alvarezii).
Sea cucumbers (known as trepang after processing) are in high demand in Asian markets where they are considered a delicacy, health food and aphrodisiac, while red seaweed is widely used in food and cosmetics industries as a texturing agent.
This series of blogs, written by Angelina Skowronski, explores the opportunities for livelihood diversification and capacity building through the eyes and words of Vezo fishers themselves.
We are committed to developing models for community-based aquaculture in which farms are fully owned and operated by communities themselves. Our aquaculture team provides materials and technical guidance, and assists with start-up costs.
In partnership with CITE, a Malagasy NGO supporting local socio-economic and entrepreneurial development, we also help to nurture small business development with training programmes that build the technical, financial, managerial and organisational skills needed by fishermen and women to manage their own aquaculture businesses. This support is fundamental to improving revenues and working towards the long-term sustainability of aquaculture businesses in these isolated communities.
Every year new farmers and villages join our aquaculture programme, increasing the number of people benefiting from alternative livelihoods. Over half of the farmers supported by Blue Ventures are women, who often use this new income to help pay for children's school fees and supplement their family's diet.
Introducing new innovations in coastal aquaculture is not a simple task, and requires strong technical partnerships and practical experience. The commercial nature of many aquaculture businesses means that results and developments are generally not publicised; experiences of overcoming technical, logistical and financial challenges in production are rarely shared.
Blue Ventures is committed to promoting and sharing best practice in community-based aquaculture, maximising the number of people able to benefit from these livelihood activities. We are working to improve connections between aquaculture initiatives, developing a new Indian Ocean network for practitioners, and sharing our experiences from Madagascar.

How to Multiply and Divide Integers for Math Class
Multiplying and dividing integers.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Look at the integer itself. an integer is a whole number that has no decimal, and is not a fraction.
- for example, take five and six, they are integers, but when you do this:
- 5.0-5.9 - it isn't!
- for example, take five and six, they are integers, but when you do this:
2Remember the multiplication rule. The rule for multiplication is if the signs are the same, it's positive, and if the signs are different it's negative.
- for example, -15x(+6)= 15 x 6
- 90=-90 see how easy!
- for example, -15x(+6)= 15 x 6

A Word in Season
The Contagious Bonds of Faith and Friendship
Today the church liturgy recalls the memorials of Sts. Timothy and Titus, true friends of St. Paul and key players in the evangelization of the nascent Church. Paul, like Jesus, created community wherever he went. The magnetism generated by his burning love for God drew others to the Gospel by his words and extraordinary life.
Encouraged by and through their holy friendships, Paul eventually ordained Timothy to lead the early church at Ephesus, and Titus in Crete. Paul writes affectionately about both men in his pastoral epistles. Paul, their spiritual father and longtime friend, characterizes them as his dear "children." (See 2 Tim. 1:2; Tit. 1:4.)
Timothy became one of Paul's most significant collaborators. For years, these two friends were inseparable and their ministry benefitted from their alliance. Timothy was a trusted confidant and six of Paul's letters mention him as a co-sender.
Titus was a Gentile, a convert from the church Paul established in Corinth. Paul praised Titus for his fervent heart and missionary spirit as a "partner and co-worker" (2 Cor. 8:6, 16-23). Paul later sent Titus to Crete to preach the gospel and demonstrate how it ought to be lived.
Both Timothy and Titus caught the faith, and being nurtured and formed by it, taught it and handed it on. And by doing so, they honored both God and their friend who inspired their fledgling faith.
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus . . .To Timothy, my beloved child . . .
I thank God whom I serve . . . when I remember you constantly in my prayers. As I remember your tears, I long night and day to see you, that I may be filled with joy. I am reminded of your sincere faith . . .
Hence I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is within you through the laying on of my hands; for God did not give us a spirit of timidity but a spirit of power and love and self-control. Do not be ashamed then of testifying to our Lord . . . who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not in virtue of our works but in virtue of his own purpose and the grace which he gave us in Christ Jesus . . .
Follow the pattern of the sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus; guard the truth that has been entrusted to you by the Holy Spirit who dwells within us. (2 Tim. 1:1-9, 13-14)
When God genuinely brings spiritual friendships together, he always has something bigger that in mind than just benefitting the circle of friends. It could be works of mercy, service to the poor, or some apostolate, project, or vocation that will flow from the flood of blessings He has pooled in the people he has united.
For [Jesus said] where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them (Mt. 18:21).
Indeed, there's no telling what might ignite when interpersonal relationships are caught up in the flames of the Spirit.

"brdwtchr's new Nevada Page" Nevada by brdwtchr
Nevada Travel Guide: 13 reviews and 19 photos
Nevada was an unplanned stop for me. My truck's drive shaft fell out on the highway about 7 miles from there. I spent a day in Nevada waiting for my truck to be repaired. I saw as much of the town as I could walk to from the repair shop and back. This is a sign in a small park at the edge of town near the repair shop. I always read these historical signs if I have a chance.

I found this to be true as well but like others feel it's not a big deal.
A while back I put together a usb external drive and ran into the same issue sort of. All the hard drives I used in the external box couldn't be windows xp formatted via the usb connection. I returned the drive case as faulty but now wonder if there is more to it. I know you can buy external usb drives pre installed in a case that will format.
I don't know if it's a firmware or hardware issue so can't answer your 2nd question.

Thunder notebook: Doc Rivers praises Kevin Durant
Halfway through the fourth quarter of a 105-87 blowout loss to the Celtics, Kevin Durant's night was done. He finished with 36 points. That was about half of the Thunder's production. At that point of the game, the rest of the team had scored a combined 38 points. "He's going to lead the league in scoring very soon, and he's going to lead this team to the playoffs very soon," said Boston coach Doc Rivers. "You can see it coming. He's really difficult to stop. "But I will say in the third quarter, Paul (Pierce) did as good a defensive job (on Durant) as I've seen in a long time. We challenged him at halftime, and he took it." Durant scored only two baskets in the third quarter.
KRSTIC OUT, COLLISON STARTSNenad Krstic missed Friday's game after suffering a sprained left ankle in Wednesday's win over the Sixers. Nick Collison, coming off his best game of the season, made his first start. Collison started 40 games last season but logged only 11 minutes. Plagued by foul trouble, Collison picked up his fourth early in the second half. "We weren't able to do what we were trying to do," Collison said. "Some of that was because of their defensive intensity. It seemed like we couldn't get into any of our (offensive) stuff because they took it away. We obviously didn't do well enough defensively, either. It was a frustrating game."
SHARE THE BALL?Thunder coach Scott Brooks said "making the extra pass," and "sharing the ball" would be critical. The Thunder failed to execute the game plan. Several stats were lopsided, but one stat best summed up the Celtics domination. Boston dished out 24 assists, the Thunder 11.
WILLIAMS HOMECOMINGFormer Midwest City star Shelden Williams said he needed only 17 tickets compared to needing more than 50 when he visited during the Hornets two seasons in Oklahoma City. "My first time I came back here, I felt obligated to get everyone tickets," Williams said. "My parents and my wife and kid (were at the top of the list). And then my closest friends. Outside of that, I was like, 'Can't do it.' " Since teammate J.R. Giddens (John Marshall) also was on the roster, was it difficult to ask teammates for the customary swapping of road tickets? "I went to everybody before he did. He waited until the last minute," Williams said. "It was a veteran move." Williams, who lives in Los Angeles, is having his best season (5.2 points, 4.0 rebounds) taking Glen "Big Baby" Davis' role. Davis (hand) isn't expected back until Christmas.
FAST BREAK. . .Only two Thunder players scored in double figures. ... For the second consecutive game, former Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman Leon Lett attended the game. Lett, who still lives in Dallas, signed some footballs and threw them into the stands. ... In pre-game, on the other side of the Celtics locker room, Rasheed Wallace yelled "Badgers" and hummed a version of Wisconsin's fight song to remind Shelden Williams that Duke lost to Wisconsin earlier this week...

Matt Sullivan, Co-Owner Light In the Attic Records
We here at Reverb get tired of our own opinions. As a result, we'll be asking local folks for a list of things they've been into lately.
First up: Matt Sullivan of Light In the Attic Records.
My girlfriend keeps calling this the golden age of television. I thought that The Wire couldn't be topped, but the second season of Mad Men just wrapped up, and it blew my mind. Now I have nothing to do with my life until Don Draper and crew return for season three.
Being a Beach Boys freak, I'm always happy when another long lost Beach Boys-related release pops up. Sometimes they don't warrant the hype. However, this one certainly does. It's irresistible seventies power pop a la Big Star or the Beatles. The Flame were a South African band - three brothers and one friend. While in London in the late '60s, they met Carl Wilson of the Beach Boys who signed them to Brother Records. Carl produced their 1970 self-titled album. Unfortunately the album quickly vanished. Some band members ended up working with the Beach Boys in the mid-70s, while others went on to record with the Stones and the Rutles. The record has been re-released on CD and LP.
Tastiest bacon on the planet. No question. Every weekend the folks at Skagit River Ranch come down from Sedro Woolley and set up at the Ballard and U-District farmers markets. Their chicken and sausage are delicious as well, but nothing comes close to the bacon. I've never tasted bacon this good, ever. It literally melts in your mouth.
All of us at my house are too cheap to get cable so it was a godsend when my roommate Tim picked up one of those new antenna-to-HD converter boxes. We've gone from 6 channels to almost a dozen. The best part though is the addition of RTN (Retro Television Network). Every week night from 7pm to 11pm we've got... Knight Rider, A-Team, Incredible Hulk, Magnum PI, and Simon & Simon (quite possibly the best television theme song ever made - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyNTIS-DoFQ). Initially, we only watched the first three shows (quickly nicknamed "The Triple Threat"). However, it's now morphed into five hours of bad, classic TV. As a kid, I hated Magnum PI. I never understood Magnum's strange humor. Maybe it was my sixth grade home-ec teacher Mrs. Fortner who had a big crush on Tom Selleck. There was a giant poster in our classroom of Tom. She couldn't get enough of that manly stash, the short shorts, and those baggy Hawaian shirts. Well, skip forward twenty years and I think I finally understand Magnum. I'm now finding myself surfing the web reading about specific shows from the series. Last week Annie Potts made a guest appearance. Life is looking good. Check out this Magnum PI fan site: http://magnum-mania.com/ Maybe this isn't the golden age of television after all.
A few weeks back I finally saw the band live for the first time. One of my favorite shows of the year. They've got the best drummer on the planet. She plays as if every moment will be her last. At the show, she climbed up on a bar table and violently banged a gong with an empty pint glass. The set was a beautiful mess. If they can somehow translate the madness of the live show to tape, it should be one of the better albums of '09.
This has gotta be one of my top twenty albums of all time. The storytelling is like nothing else. Like the best albums do, after each listen you make a new discovery. Newman sings about hard times in the south in the early to mid 20th century involving weird characters and surreal places and events. The song "Wedding in Cherokee County" always gives me goosebumps. Johnny Horn turned me on to the record from the song "Guilty" with Newman's sad tale of hitting both the bottle and the cocaine until he gets back in her arms again. A couple years back, Johnny and I recorded Andre Williams doing a cover of "Guilty" which Andre took to an entirely new place - like only Andre can. The project has been going on and on for over five years now. I'm praying it gets finished one day.
New tapas bar in Ballard at 24th & Market - down from Sonic Boom and Hazlewood. Little plates of heavenly food inspired by the cuisine of Spain, and lots of tasty drinks. The Sangria is always good, so is the Dark & Stormy. For food, try the Chorizo de la Mancha (Spanish chorizo, garlic, and fried egg), Patatas Bravas (fried potatoes, aioli, and spicy brava sauce), and the Hongos de Jerez (sherried mushrooms, arugula, and toast).
A few years back, this Nottingham, UK band sent us the coolest demo we ever got. Breezy vocals, beautiful tones, and lush production. The demo was sent on this 6" x 12" cardboard piece - about the size of a license plate. The CD was on one side while the back showed these mysterious photos of the band. I'm always a sucker for packaging so this one truly stood out. They just finished recording their first full length which lands in early 2009. Like the original demo, it sounds excellent. Their gracious manager Martin and his lovely lady Hazel live on an old narrow boat in London. The boat is about 5 feet wide by 70 feet long. The logo from the Small Faces album Ogden's Nut Gone Flake (http://www.amazon.com/Ogdens-Gone-Flake-Small-Faces/dp/B0002HUXWQ) is painted on the side of the boat. Last January, Josh and I crashed on the boat for a few days after Midem. I miss them and that boat.
Best damn tacos in town. They're located in Wallingford on 45th (in the Winchell's parking lot, next to Dick's and Golden Oldies (tell them to get bring the New Arrivals section back!)). The tacos with al pastor are to die for. I only wish their taco trunk was next to our office. I think we'd all die and go to heaven.

There are two major points that I pulled out of pages 100-101 in Richard Wrights Autobiography Black Boy. First, that the events in Richard's childhood affected his decisions in life more than any other factor. The second point was that the severity and toughness of Richard's childhood caused him to be more successful as a writer later in life.
First, the harsh event of Richard's early childhood molded and shaped his personality therefore influencing every single one of his decisions in life. He wrote "Her life set the emotional tone of my life, colored the men and women I was to meet in the future, conditioned my relation to events that had not yet happened, determined my attitude to situations and circumstances I had yet to face." to me this shows that every decision he will ever make in life will be approached in a different fashion therefore changing the answer to that question more than any other factor could possibly change it.
The success of his writing career should be credited to the way his personality made gave him perfect traits to pursue a career in writing. In his writing on page 101 he noted that his childhood made him "love burrowing into psychology, into realistic and naturalistic fiction and art, into those whirlpools of politics that had the power to claim the whole of men's souls." These traits that he gained from enduring through the toughest of times due to racism, family illnesses and poverty gave carved him in a way that made him have the perfect mind to become a great writer.

|FILTRATION SYSTEM - A filtration system includes a filter assembly removably coupled with a manifold. The coupling of the filter assembly coupled with the manifold aligns an intake port of the filter assembly with an inlet tube of the manifold and communicates a flow tube of the filter assembly with an exit tube of the manifold. The filter assembly pushes a shut-off valve of the manifold from its normally closed position to its open position. Liquid then flows into the filter assembly from the inlet tube of the manifold and filtered liquid flows into exit tube of the manifold from the flow tube of the filter assembly. The filter assembly further pushes a pressure relief valve of the manifold from its normally open position to its closed position.

Ranch Rush Game Overview
The pace is anything but slow on this farm!The market demands your goods and you have to satisfy it—quickly! Plant, pick, and carry your produce to the barn for delivery to customers. It sounds easy but you'll have to be as quick as a greased pig to get your products grown and cashed in while facing pests, water shortages, mechanical breakdowns, and more. This is the most frenetic farm you can find!
1.A spread out farm is an unhappy farm. Use the Move Tool to place everything close together so you're not running around the farm more than you need to.
2.Tend to slow growing crops first so you're not left waiting for them as your timer quickly runs out.
3.Every week you'll have the chance to ignore demand and cash in on your most expensive crops. Leave crops from the previous round growing to get a head start!
Tips and Strategies
Farm like you've never farmed before!
Satisfy market demand before your time runs out
· Plants like tomatoes and corn grow slower, so plant them first and then do other things while they grow so you're not waiting around just for them.
· Six plots of soil for every crop should be sufficient for most demands. Too many plots can be too much to manage.
· The slower a crop grows the longer it takes to pick. Keep this in mind!
· Store products like milk and honey to make it easy to complete the next days' orders or earn major cash during the Farm Frenzy level.
Location, location, location
You can move everything at any time with the Move tool, so use it every round to squeeze everything close together to reduce walking time.
Place machines next to the related produce, like tomatoes and the ketchup machine, to reduce time spent walking the farm.
Avoid having to walk all the way around a machine to fix it. When machines break down, note where you have to go to fix it so you can move your toolbox to that side of the machine.
Farm frenzy
Every week you'll have the chance to earn extra money not based on demand but on the price of your products. Concentrate on the most expensive crops to earn big bucks!
