GIRARD, Pa. (AP) -- Police have cited a 42-year-old Pennsylvania woman for disorderly conduct after she called 911 requesting a divorce and police assistance to make her husband leave.
Troopers say the woman called just after 1 a.m. Saturday asking that officers be sent to her home in Girard Township in northwestern Pennsylvania.
Police say they explained to the woman, whom they are not identifying, that a divorce is a civil matter and that they could not make her husband leave the residence because no crime had been committed. Instead, police have cited the woman for disorderly conduct and misusing the Erie County 911 system.

Improving our environmental footprint, from the cherry to the cup
At Nespresso, our approach is to use natural resources efficiently, use sustainably-managed renewable resources wherever possible and continuously work towards reducing the amount of waste we produce.
The LCA process enables us to understand the environmental impacts of every aspect of our business. In their analysis of the carbon footprint of a cup of Nespresso coffee, Quantis found that the biggest impacts happen during the use of our machines, in growing the coffee and in producing and recycling our capsules.
That's why a key focus for us is to reduce the carbon emissions from coffee cultivation and machine use. But we are taking action to improve our environmental impact across our entire business, from the cherry to the cup.

Don't take this the wrong way, JVS, but... Scotty points out that the cap is a reverse thread - you weren't tightening, were you? Sorry, but I had to ask! To battle!!!
JVS-I'm taking a lunch break, in the middle of the job right now. I've got the forks off the bike with the caps off. I thought I'd add my $0.02 while I'm here...I printed Scotty's tutorial, and have it in front of me in the garage. Everything is exactly as he's said .

Let me start off by saying that I realize most of the things I am about to discuss are third party issues. Still, I am hoping that someone here can help me come up with some solutions. I have been reading everything I can find for the past few weeks. I have seen many discussions and bugs, but no solutions.
Zimbra version: 6.0.10 NE
We have approximately 50 mobile users. We recently switched everyone from Blackberry to Android. This has not been pleasant... Everyone loves the overall capabilities of the Android devices, but they hate the email functionality. There have been many requests to switch back to Blackberry. I would prefer not to do this as I do not want to run a BES server. All of our Android phones are HTC devices (mostly Evo 4G's). Ideally, I would like to resolve all issues using the pre-installed software on these devices.
Issue 1: ActiveSync
Currently all of our devices are using the HTC mail app to connect via ActiveSync. For the most part everything works great. Everything except that forward messages as eml attachments thing. Yes, I know that this is an Android issue. Yes, I know that Android uses SmartForward and that the real problem is Android cannot view eml attachments like most other devices can. That being said, this is a major source of frustration for our users. Many of our users travel heavily and their phone is their primary device. They forward a lot of messages from their mobile device. Other mobile users cannot view these messages. Web Client users can view the attachments, but still complain that things come across as attachments instead of inline. I know that there is probably no solution to this at the moment, but I'm going to ask anyway. Does anyone have a solution for this other than using Touchdown? Does Zimbra have any plans to implement something that would force these messages to be sent inline instead of as attachments?
Issue 2: IMAP
As a possible workaround for Issue 1, I have been considering using ActiveSync for contacts and calendar and IMAP for mail. I'm starting to like this idea as it would eliminate the eml thing and allow users to view HTML mail. However, I am running into an issue with this as well (also using the HTC mail app). Most, but not all, HTML messages sent from the Zimbra Web Client appear as blank messages on the device. You can see the header, but not the body. HTML messages sent from outside sources display correctly on the device. It is just HTML messages sent from our Zimbra server. I believe this is a primarily a Zimbra issue and not an HTC issue. Again, mail from outside sources displays correctly. Also, before Zimbra our company used a basic Linux IMAP server (Postfix/Dovecot). I connected to this server with an HTC device for over a year before we switched to Zimbra. I never had an issue reading mail from our old server. The IMAP issues started after the switch to Zimbra. Any ideas on why HTML mail sent from our server is not visible on mobile devices?
Thanks in advance for help with these issues.

A few of you may know that I have created a galaxy map of my gameworld on a large sheet of newsprint.
I have recently acquired a few applications for me to digitize this map. Luckily these applications will also allow me to complete several projects at once so I've been spending some time to work on the project.
I'm not going to actually map out the whole galaxy, just the string that contains the main systems. Its being mapped out in AstroSynthesis which is allowing me to skip the complex calculations I'd otherwise have to do myself (which was a killer with this project from the start, years ago). The planet terrains are being generated via Fractal World Explorer (included with AS), but the main planets are being generated using Fractal Terrains in which are being saved as CC2 maps to be fleshed out for player use.
These apps allow me almost full control over the outcomes and the sheer amount of data I wanted to have where I can spend time on creating, not fighting with math.
Anyway. On to the core of the project...
Here is a simple view from AstroSynthesis... I'll periodically update this picture.
Red = Hostile
Orange = Neutral
Green = Friendly
Width of lines determine traffic quanitity. Rarely travelled routes, are dashed
A resulting page from Astrosynthesis "report" feautre... Which is handy and spares me from having to do it myself all the time...
I'm also planning on doing a lot of 3d work with the results as well...
Planet Quizorthia - WIP:
I'm still doing quite a bit of work-rework on a lot of the resulting data since some of the results havent been what I'd expected. None of the data in the resulting reports and stuff is not final...
Here is a significantly older version of the Selena-Cygni system I setup in CC2, but my current project goes well beyond the scope of this tiny map...
Despite it being my game universe, I still like keeping a resemblence to reality and within the specifications of being "real". So... As a result I'm open to suggestions, comments, critisizms, whatever. Yes, I know there are no moons placed yet.

Prep baseball preview: The usual suspects
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Don't look for much to change at the top of Kanawha Valley Class AAA baseball this season.
Nitro and Hurricane, the area's dominant programs since 2005, both come off 27-win seasons and both are expected to flex their muscle and hustle again this year and contend for spots in the state tournament.
"We've still got the same goals as we do every year here,'' said Nitro coach Steve Pritchard, "and that's to try and win 20 games and try to get to the state tournament.''
The Wildcats have now done that six straight years, winning a pair of state titles and coming in second twice. Nitro has won 20 or more games eight straight years, averaging 26.3 wins over that span.
Hurricane, on the other hand, has won 20 or more seven times in eight seasons, averaging 24.3 victories in that stretch.
Nitro suffered a key loss from last year in catcher Korey Dunbar, the state's player of the year, but Dunbar was the squad's only senior.
Returning are a trio of top pitchers in right-handers Ryan McDonough (8-2, 2.43 ERA) and Tyler Barton (6-1) and left-hander Kip Brewer (2.30 ERA). McDonough and Winfield lefty Mason Dillon (9-1, 1.60 ERA) should be two of the area's best AAA pitchers.
The other eight starters for Nitro are all back in first baseman Dylan Slack (.389, 41 RBIs), second baseman Evan Eich, shortstop Solomon Shamblin, third baseman Eric Keller, and Barton, Ethan Clark and Brewer in the outfield. Freshman Matt Jewell takes over as catcher.
"It's the first time I can ever remember starting a freshman at catcher,'' Pritchard said. "We're used to having Korey back there. After three years, you get spoiled. [Jewell] will be a good one, but there's definitely going to be a learning curve.''
Hurricane lost four seniors but, like Nitro, should be strong again on the mound.
Senior Riley Metz (6-2, 2.44 ERA, 53 strikeouts in 43 innings), junior Austin Hensley (6-0, 2.06) and sophomore J.T. Rogoszewski lead the pitching talent.
Among returning position players, infielder Riley Metz (.390) held the top batting average while catcher Tate Brock led the Redskins in homers (three) and runs batted in (29). Another infielder, Hensley, batted .333 and Zach Pate swiped 23 bases.
Hurricane coach Brian Sutphin said the lineup is a bit more settled now than it was a year ago, when the team had to replace eight departed seniors at the outset.
"Last year we didn't have any expectations because we lost so many guys from a team that was pretty daggone good,'' Sutphin said. "Going into last year, no one knew where they were at. Now we return more regulars and I think they're physically a lot stronger than we were last year.
"We're excited, and anytime you return some guys [there are expectations], but at the same time there are no guarantees. Just because you played last year doesn't mean you'll be better the next year. It certainly helps being a year older. We've got a lot of multi-sport athletes who have had success in other sports, and they definitely work hard in the weight room and I think that helps prepare them for baseball season.''
Two other Kanawha Valley teams reached the state tournament last season, Herbert Hoover in AA and Charleston Catholic in Class A. Each could make a return visit, owing to the talent it can field.
The Huskies (27-9 last year) appear to have enough back to make another run at Appalachian Power Park, especially in the batting order.
Senior outfielder Corey Bird, a Marshall recruit, is the top returning hitter in either Kanawha or Putnam county, as he comes off a .483 average that included just one strikeout (looking) in 116 at-bats. He also led the Kanawha Valley with 51 runs scored and 40 stolen bases and also drove in 31 runs.
Other top hitters back in the lineup are Cody Bowen (.369) and Tristan Fields (.363, 30 RBIs). Fields is also the ace of the pitching staff after an 8-1 season that included 74 strikeouts in 611/3 innings and a 4.14 ERA.
Catholic (29-9) welcomed back six returning starters, including first-team all-staters Kiefer Hovorka (pitcher-shortstop) and Rocco Wilcox (outfield). The others are pitcher-outfielder Andy Hoyer, catcher Drew Cable, infielder Connor Golden and first baseman Nelson McKown.
Hovorka (7-3, 2.39 ERA) fanned an impressive 93 batters in 671/3 innings last year, and Hoyer (10-2, 2.72) also put up solid numbers, striking out 68 in 72 innings.
Wilcox hit .459 with 17 stolen bases last year, Golden .437 with 38 RBIs and 19 steals, McKown .422 with 45 RBIs and Cable .353 with 37 RBIs.
The Irish have advanced to the state tournament seven times in the last 11 years.

ST. LOUIS, Missouri – On a wet and windy day in St. Louis, riders at the Tour De Grove lined up to brave the elements at the second year of the event, an NRC race and the latest round of the USA Crits series.
With temperatures steady in the low 50's, wind gusts exceeding 20 miles an hour and a steady drizzle to dampen the roads, the racers faced challenging conditions on a challenging six-corner circuit.
In the men's race, the field strung out from the gun, snaking through the circuitous, route with slippery corners as multiple crashes and repeated flat tires fragmented the field through the first half hour of racing.
Repeated attacks were unable to stick with most aggressive team of the day by far the Pure Black Racing squad from New Zealand. With forty minutes remaining, a group of ten riders was able to squeeze out a thirteen second advantage and worked together to distance the field. With two riders each from UnitedHealthcare and Pure Black Racing, as well as Australian criterium champion Jonathan Cantwell, the break was able to keep the chasing peloton at bay with the gap hovering at fifteen to twenty seconds.
With twenty minutes to go, Mike Northey of Pure Black attacked solo to gain a handful of seconds on the break but was brought back into the fold a lap later. From there the break worked fluidly to maintain their advantage and took the top three spots in the mid race prime earning points for the USA Crits overall.
Christian Helmig of ELBOWZ Racing won the prime, moving himself up the overall standings. With five minutes to go, the break still held a thirty second gap on the chasing field despite several counter attacks from Brad Huff of Jelly Belly and Matt Brandt of Mesa Cycles Racing late in the race. With a lap remaining, Louis Crosby of Pure Black was gapped from the break and Adrian Hegyvery from United Health Care flatted, reducing the two teams' numerical advantage.
Despite the loss of a teammate, early aggressor Northey took the last three corners to perfection, holding off the remainder of the break for a commanding win. UnitedHealthcare rider Jake Keogh took second and breakaway workhorse Christian Helmig rounded out the podium in third, moving himself up into the overall USA Crits lead in the process.
In the women's race, the powerhouse teams of Tibco and Colavita dominated affairs. While there were repeated attacks in the first stages of the race, none were able to stick as a series of crashes on the rain slicked roads and gusting winds discouraged attempts to jump clear.
By the mid-point of the race, it appeared that the bunch had resigned itself to a sprint finish and the two dominant teams in the race worked to keep the pace high through the treacherous conditions. At the midrace prime, Laura Van Gilder of Mellow Mushroom picked up valuable points to move herself up into the series lead of the USA Crits. Despite a last lap solo attempt by Cat Carr of Vanderkitten, the women's field came into the last corner together, setting up a sprint finish up the long, head wind heavy drag to the line.
Default series leader at the beginning of the day, Erica Allar of RideClean, overcooked the last corner, ending her race and overall lead abruptly. With Allar on the pavement, Colavita put on a dominant display with Edita Janeliunaite taking the win over Joelle Numainville of Tibco and Colavita rider Leah Kirchmann in third. With her midrace prime win and seventh place finish, Van Gilder moved herself up into the overall series lead with Sam Schneider in second.

Zillow expects Sacramento-area home values to rise nearly 12% | News
SACRAMENTO - There's potentially some good news for Sacramentans looking to sell their homes.
Zillow.com analysts predict Sacramento-area home values to increase by 11.9 percent in 2013. This comes after a similar increase last year.
"It's important to be cautious moving forward, even as we celebrate the undeniably positive end to 2012, and be careful that consumers don't grow to expect such high appreciation as the norm," said Zillow Chief Economist Stan Humphries.
The slowly improving economy and continually low mortgage rates, typically translate into greater consumer confidence and increased home sales. Buyer demand, which is driven both by investor and consumer interest, is spurring new construction, as home builders continue to be confident about future demand for driving.
Sacramento's value outlook is based on a number of indicators. This includes the number of homes for sale, population growth, property taxes and loan delinquencies, among other factors.
Real estate price increases in El Dorado and Placer counties near Lake Tahoe are also boosting the Capital City. Those areas are included as part of the Sacramento region's metropolitan statistical area. Zillow.com says that as buyers from the Bay Area (and beyond) seek to purchase second homes at lower prices, the cities around the lake should be among the top performers this year.
"Buying a home should be a long-term decision, and these swings between a deep housing recession and higher-than-normal appreciation rates can give consumers whiplash and cause some to lose sight of that," Humphries says.
The Sacramento area is ranked 2nd for appreciation potential, just behind Riverside. Four other California cities made Zillow.com's top 10 list: San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego and San Jose. Nationally, home values are expected to go up 3.3 percent.

Superstorm Sandy forced many businesses to shutter this week.
To prepare for the hurricane, a number of companies in New York and along the Eastern Seaboard made the decision to close before the storm hit. Some have reopened, but many remain closed or in limited operation.
The Society for Human Resource Management and the Occupational Safety & Health Administration have outlined some essential policies and procedures for HR professionals related to people management during and after a natural disaster.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Two men have been reported missing after last being seen in a boat in the waters off the Eastern Shore of Maryland Wednesday morning.
The Coast Guard did rescue one man located on a life raft approximately 15 miles east of Assateague Island but for a storm that many call a dud, there's always some who may argue it left it's mark.
You can blame almost 50 mile-an-hour winds for knocking a tractor trailer off its course, and almost off the westbound side of Maryland's Chesapeake Bay Bridge. The driver escaped with minor injuries.
In Silver Spring, a huge tree cracked, then crushed an SUV on Newcastle Avenue, also on Wednesday afternoon. Emergency crews took the woman driving it to the hospital. She is said to be ok, and just shaken up. The tree also crushed a nearby unoccupied car.
Later Wednesday evening, a snow plow driver found himself in a scary situation, when the back of his plow caught on an overpass on I-270, and sheared off. The road was closed while crews tried to figure out how to extricate the cab of the truck. The snow plow driver was not hurt. He told WUSA9 he had been awake since the storm's early hours at 2 a.m.
In District Heights, high winds, and wet grounds caused a tree to slice through a house on District Avenue, causing a family to run for safety. Curtis Jeter was downstairs when the tree fell into his family's kitchen, where his mom was cooking, "Everybody's OK now, but the feeling we had then was just terrifying. My mother was upstairs actually cooking, inside the kitchen where the tree came through."
Firefighters came to put out a small fire in that kitchen, and help the family, Jeter explains, "They brought us some coats from inside the house, everyone came out with what they were wearing, no coats, some of us, no shoes."
The family is staying with relatives tonight, but no doubt it will be a while before they forget this storm.

A beloved Fable is dead. An enraged Bigby is in mundy police custody. A body is found in the East River and a serial killer is on the loose. Return to the world of Fables to hunt down the perpetrator through brute force and intimidation, or guile and detective work. The choices are yours; will you unleash the beast within?
After discovering damning evidence at a bloody crime scene, Bigby is just steps behind the prime suspect of a horrific murder, but he's not the only one; other forces in Fabletown will stop at nothing to protect their interests. Every decision matters and time is ticking in this thrilling third episode of
The Wolf Among Us.
Has the Wolf met his match? Beaten and bloody, Bigby is confronted by the realization that a society built on secrets is ripe for exploitation. Constantly caught between 'the rules' and doing the right thing, Bigby must tread a path fraught with danger in this penultimate episode of The Wolf Among Us.
Following a bloody trail of murder and corruption, Bigby Wolf confronts a powerful enemy: a dark force that has been feeding on the desperation of Fabletown's seedy underbelly. But when hidden truths are revealed, you must decide exactly what justice means in the gripping season finale of The Wolf Among Us.
"...the writing is just so damn good"
"...I am wholly invested in this world of contorted fairy-tale fantasies"
"In Sheep's Clothing nails it where it counts."
"...a tour de force of sex, lies, murder, deceit, and, ultimately, hope."
"Simply put, The Wolf Among Us finale provides some of the finest storytelling I've played in a long time."

3D ICP Reactor, Argon Chemistry
Application ID: 8661
3D plasma modeling is possible to do in COMSOL. A square coil is placed on top of a dielectric window and is electrically excited at 13.56MHz. A plasma is formed in the chamber beneath the dielectric window, which contains Argon gas at low pressure (20 mtorr). The gas flows into the process chamber from two 2 inch ports and the gas is extracted through a single 4 inch port. The plasma is sustained via electromagnetic induction where power is transferred from the electromagnetic fields to the electrons.

Minnesota National Guard, Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, Xcel Energy and other interagency partners, participated in a cyber event response exercise at the emergency management training center at Camp Ripley, Minn., Jan. 10, 2013. The exercise provided participants with an opportunity to evaluate current response concepts, plans and capabilities for a response to a cyber event both natural and as an act of terrorism or crime. This discussion-based exercise was the first of 10 exercises which will culminate in the Vigilant Guard exercise planned for 2015. (U.S. Army photo photo by 1st Lt. Blake St. Sauver)

One of two men arrested for dozens of home break-ins in Craven County was in court Friday morning. Police say they broke into 47 homes and stole jewelry and they were so neat and clean about the crimes, many people had no idea they were victims until weeks after.
Gregory Hamilton had his first appearance at the Craven County courthouse Friday morning. He and Calvin Dawson were each charged with more than 40 counts of felony breaking and entering and felony larceny. Investigators say Hamilton walked into dozens of homes in Trent Woods, New Bern and other parts of Craven County. They say many of the homes were unlocked and they stole gold jewelry. Detectives say Dawson drove the get away car and helped Hamilton pawn the gold off.
Linda Morris was a victim.
"Every time I'm in there brushing my teeth in my bathroom I'm thinking its hard to believe that someone was actually there in my home. How did he find out where I kept my jewelry? I don't keep it in an actual jewelry box and it does give you a very strange feeling. It makes you feel that your privacy has been compromised," said Morris.
Morris says she didn't realize she was robbed until she went looking for a particular necklace. She then realized 12 - 15 pieces of her jewelry were missing. Investigators were able to recover some of the jewelry, but none of Morris' yet. She has since installed a security system.
Dawson turned himself in Friday afternoon and was released on a $250,000 unsecured bond. Hamilton's next court appearance is set for April 3rd.
Previous Story
Two Craven County men are charged with breaking into more than 40 homes and stealing jewelry to pawn.
Gregory Hamilton and Calvin Dawson are both accused of breaking into homes in the Trent Woods, Craven County and New Bern areas. The district attorney says the two broke into houses and stole jewelry between September and December of last year. Hamilton was already in custody. The district attorney says Dawson made arrangements to surrender.

Did you know you can tell the state of a baller's game just by the kind of salute they offer the fans? Let me explain.
First up: Mikhail Youzhny. He escaped an epic 5-set battle in the Aussie Open first round against Richard Gasquet after having match points against him then walloped Jan Hajek in three swift sets. But I wouldn't need to know all that stuff. Why? I could just examine his salute! Take a look at his photo above:
A) Tennis racquet - His racquet is resting nicely on his noggin in a straight line. This signals someone who's feeling balanced and steady with his energy flowing nicely.
B) Hands - One of Misha's hands is holding the racquet firmly while the other hand is performing a strong salute. These actions speak to a solid work ethic and deep discipline. Good job.
C) Face - The Russian eyes are intense and focused and he's smiling because he knows all that hard work and sacrifice is paying off at a major. Booyah!
Now, let's take a look at Ana Ivanovic shall we?
As we all know poor NaturAna was upset (and I use that term VERY loosely here) at the Aussie Open yesterday by Gisela Dulko and hasn't made it past the fourth round at a major in her last six tries. Boo. But even if I didn't know all that info, I could just look at her salute to know how her game was going:
A) Tennis racquet - MESS. Yonex is completely slipping off her head. In fact, I don't think it's even touching that raven hair. Now this is a classic sign of imbalance with a little impatience thrown in for good measure. Is she even trying???
B) Hands - I mean, REALLY. The hands aren't even being allowed to do their job because righty needs to catch the falling racquet while lefty is keeping her head from exploding. Geez.
C) Face - It seems her eyes are stunned while her mouth is probably saying something I shouldn't repeat here (in Serbian no doubt.) A girl's gotta have her secrets I suppose, though we're not fooled. It's time to take baby to therapy.
So next time you miss a match, just take a peek at the pix. They really ARE worth a thousand words. Or something like that.

Grins & Giggles,
what a coincidence!!! poor Ana, I think this has become her new signature move....lolReplyDelete
I kept waiting for Ana to use those man hands to smash the racket and curse out the chair umpire in yesterday's match. I would love to see Ana blow up on a umpire one of these days. That would be hilarious.ReplyDelete

Herd hopes to solve rebound puzzle today vs. Nevada
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - Five games into its season, Marshall is trying to solve its greatest mystery: Why is this team getting outmuscled on the boards?
Don't fall for the Thundering Herd's plus-6.4 rebound margin overall. The minus-14 margins at Villanova and at Hofstra are confusing to coach Tom Herrion, rebounding maestro Dennis Tinnon and everybody else who knows the Thundering Herd program.
"I'm a little befuddled, to be honest with you," said Herrion, in his third year at MU. "It flares up again with Hofstra, Villanova a 'true' road game, that's concerning to me that we've been outrebounded in both situations, quite glaringly.
"That's one thing I thought we'd hang our hat on, every night. Maybe minus-2 here and there, but not the discrepancy there has been. That's probably been a little more alarming than a lot of other things."
Tinnon's goal, besides leading his team to a couple-dozen wins and more, is to lead the nation in rebounding, period. Offense, defense, you name it - but he's a mere eighth in Conference USA.
He is stunned about his team's board woes more than Herrion, perhaps, because he knows his team doesn't exactly dance through practice.
"We do that 'war drill' [in practice], we beat up on each other," Tinnon said. "But during the game, we don't want to touch anybody, we don't want to hurt anybody. But you sit here and watch [practice], everybody getting in arguments, starting to yell at each other, but we've got to do that to the other opponents. We've got to go hit them in the face, you know, jump on their backs and stuff like that."
Marshall (2-3) will try to reassert itself today when the Herd plays its second home game of the season against Nevada. Tipoff time at Cam Henderson Center is 7 p.m.
This is one of those Rating Percentage Index-driving opponents - not Top 25, but the Wolf Pack finished 28-7 last season and went three rounds deep into the National Invitation Tournament.
This season, Nevada is 3-1 with wins over Cal State-Fullerton (80-77), Wisconsin-Green Bay (71-69) and Southern Utah (79-61), and a 78-64 loss to Cal-Irvine. Six-foot-1 junior guard Deonte Burton leads the team in scoring with 15 points per game, followed by 6-5 senior guard Malik Story at 14. The Wolf Pack is struggling in field-goal percentage (.422) and rebounding (minus-21), but enjoys a 12-turnover advantage and shoots .742 from the foul line.
Marshall turned its attention to Nevada after its Thanksgiving dinner, but spent much of the week working on what ails it. Rebounding was an obvious emphasis, ditto for defense without fouling. Herrion is alarmed at his team shooting 37 fewer free throws than opponents.
And then when the Herd gets to the free-throw line, the .629 success isn't great. That's merely continuing a trend from last season, but it's an unwelcome trend nonetheless.
"I do know one thing, I've said it before: The more you start talking about it, it becomes even more mental," Herrion said. "I can put my head on the pillow at night knowing that we've invested a great deal of time."

IMAPStore - Redundant Array of Inexepensive Servers File System ;)
So I've been in search of a good failover solution for an IMAP server for some time now. Basically to have a somewhat realtime hot backup of my server that I can failover to.
The problem is alway replicating the file system in some way while keeping the header and envolope information replicated to a remote server.
So the idea is to create a sort of RAID-1 array across multiple servers for a message store. Sort of a simple GFS...
I was thinking that we could pretty easily build a system where all the message "writes" to filesystem could actually be written to multiple machines. Their locations would be stored in a simple association table to the message-id. Then any request for a message would just do a quick lookup to find the message store. Obviosly this is a bit simplified.
- store a message
- store message file on multiple backend message stores 2 to n
- store message physical location (messageid, server, path) in meta db
- add message stores as storage is running out
- get message
- request message via messageid
- lookup messageid in meta db to get physical location
- grab message and deliver back into imap server exactly as it is now
The idea come from mass image storage systems and Google File System. These work in a similiar way. Essentially any file is stored in multiple locations... its location information is stored in a database. When the file is requested it finds the file in storage and returns it. It could be on one machine or hundreds.
If a system goes down the database with meta location information has already been replicated via db replication. When the file is requested from a server that is down it just grabs the next record for the "other" location on another server.
- Can add infinite number of servers to expand storage
- Can replicate to multiple data centers pretty easily
- Very cheap implementation, all software no SAN or expensive hardware
- Total Failover.... can setup monitor that assures that messages are
replicated to as many machines as you'd like
- Tested, this is how we developed the mass-image storage at our company. This is essentially how Google File System works minus splitting files into blocks.
- Should be very pluggable into Zimbra... meaning make a chance to the MessageStore object and be done with it... the rest of the system shouldn't have a problem.
Anyone interested...?

AG051: Come What May!
this wiki
Come What May! (Japanese: VSチャーレム!コンテストバトル!! Vs. Medicham! Contest Battle) is the 11th episode of Pokémon: Advanced Challenge.
Episode Plot
Drew, Grace and May have earned a lot of points, so they advance in next round. Jessica (disguised Jessie) arrives by floating to the ground (in truth Team Rocket drops her gently). She brings Dustox to performance. Dustox uses Tackle, but sparkles falls off Dustox (though it is a small item that drops the dust). Dustox uses Poison Sting, though Meowth activates a small machine, seeming that Dustox used a move, painting a picture of itself.. Dustox uses Whirlwind, though it seems that rainbow is produced. Jessica advances with 29.7 points. May, Drew, Grace and Jessica will advance to next round. Team Rocket is happy knowing that Jessie passed the round. May will battle Jessica in 5 minutes.
Jessica brings Dustox and May her Beautifly. Dustox uses Tackle, but Beautifly dodges the attack. Beautifly uses String Shot, but Dustox uses Whirlwind, redirecting the attack on Beautifly. Dustox attacks with Poison Sting, but Beautifly uses Gust, so the attack redirects to Dustox, damaging the machine under the tie. Dustox tackles, however Beautifly uses Silver Wind, knocking Dustox out. Dustox uses Psybeam, but Meowth cannot empower it to be in rainbow colors. Beautifly uses Tackle, knocking Dustox out. Jessica lost all her points, so May is the winner.
Jessie's Dustox has dropped the machine, everybody seeing it. Jessie uses a smoke ball, so James and Meowth appear to her as well. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, blasting them off. The battle of Drew and Grace begins - Drew brings Roselia while Grace her Medicham. Roselia uses Magical Leaf, but it misses due to Medicham's Meditate. Medicham uses Ice Punch, but Roselia evades. Roselia uses Petal Dance, but the attack is stopped by Confusion, so Medicham redirects the attack to Roselia. Roselia uses Solar Beam, though Medicham uses Ice Punch on the ground. Roselia fires, but Medicham has raised icy spikes, redirecting the attack back to Roselia. Medicham uses Meditate and Hi Jump Kick, hurting Roselia badly and defeating it.
So, May is going to battle Grace. May begins to wonder how will she defeat Medicham. So, the battle starts - May sends Beautifly while Grace her Medicham. Beautifly uses Tackle, though Medicham uses Meditate, evading the attack. Medicham uses Ice Punch, but is stopped due to Gust. Medicham uses Confusion on itself to reduce damage. Beautifly uses String Shot, but the attack is redirected to Beautifly due to Confusion. Medicham uses Ice Punch, freezing Beautifly.
Beautifly unfreezes itself. To finish, Medicham uses Meditate and Hi Jump Kick, but Beautifly dodges the attack and uses Silver Wind, so Medicham falls on its knee, hurting itself. Beautifly uses Tackle and String Shot, but Medicham uses Confusion, stopping the attack. Beautifly uses Silver Wind, making Medicham unable to use Confusion, so Beautifly tackles it. Medicham is tied by strings, so Beautifly uses Tackle, but Medicham frees itself, so Beautifly uses Silver Wind, making Medicham's hands immobile.
Grace has few points left and one minute needs to pass for May to win. Medicham uses High Jump, so Beautifly uses Tackle. Both Pokémon got hurt, but in the end, May wins the battle! May hugs Beautifly, thanking it for such battle. May gets the Fallarbor Town ribbon. Grace congratulates May for the victory. Before the night, the gang congratulates May. Drew appears, giving the rose to Beautifly and clarifying that if he'd battle May in first round, she wouldn't won. Ash is anxious too, as he needs to battle the next Gym leader.
- Featured Pokémon: Shelgon, Bagon, Aron, Zangoose.
- Near the beginning of the episode, the classic Pokémon identification from previous seasons is shown. The Pokémon featured was Paras.
- The title is a reference to a line from the play Macbeth.

PARACHUTE - Mike Johnson has always been one of the biggest critics of the Grand Valley High School girls basketball team.
Not that the Cardinals coach isn't happy with the 14-5 season they've had. He will, however, be one of the first people to point out what his team could get better at.
"I think we've had a good year," Johnson said. "But the biggest problem I think we've had is our struggle to find consistency."
The third-seeded Cardinals are hoping to find a little more of that consistency today. They'll open the Class 3A Western Slope League District Tournament with No. 6 Cedaredge (7-12) at The Nest, with the winner earning a berth in the state tournament and a spot in the district semifinals. Game time is scheduled for 6 p.m.
Grand Valley's boys basketball team, which started the season 0-9 and 1-13 overall, will also play in a district tournament game today. The Cardinals (6-13) closed the regular season on a five-game win streak, and will take that into their 6 p.m. district-tournament matchup at Basalt (7-12).
Johnson would love to have that kind of consistency from his team at least for eight games in a row, which is the number of consecutive wins the Cardinals would need to win a state championship. They won five in a row until their loss to Coal Ridge on Feb. 15, but Johnson feels the consistency issues extend beyond the full 32-minute games.
"We've had some times when we've put together four or five good ones in a row, and then we'd come out the next game and not show up," Johnson said. "It's even gone from quarter to quarter. We've had stretches where it seems like we're just not there.
"All that said, we're No. 4 in the state in scoring, No. 1 in 3-point shots made and No. 1 in free throw attempts," he continued. "So we are doing some very nice things."
Haley Johnson has been the most consistent scorer for Grand Valley, as her 11.8 point per game average and 38 3-pointers are both team highs. Ashlynn Speakman is right behind with 30 3-pointers, and her 61 total steals are tops on the team.
"Yes, consistency has been an issue," Speakman said, smiling. "But we know that if we come out ready to play, we'll be OK. All we have to do is focus on us and the way we play, not on who it is we're playing.
"Our season is going the way we want it to and we're going into the district tournament as a top-three seed," she added. "We're just hoping that it comes together (today)."
The Grand Valley boys have grown consistently better over the course of the season, and their current five-game win streak is proof of that. Part of that success has come from the addition of Sam Parker, who has played only the past 10 games with the Cardinals due to transfer rules.
Parker has averaged a team-high 13.6 points per game, and Trent Reidle, who has also played only the past 10 games, is averaging 13 points per game. Both did not play their first game of the season until Jan. 15 against Coal Ridge, a 67-59 win and the Cardinals' first of the season after an 0-9 start.
Today's winner between Basalt and Grand Valley will play either Coal Ridge or top-seeded Roaring Fork in the tournament semis at 4:45 p.m. Friday at Palisade High School. The winner of the Grand Valley/Cedaredge girls game will play either Olathe or Gunnison at 6:30 p.m. Friday, also at Palisade. A loss brings an end to the season.

Interview with Damian Conway
Damian Conway is a frequent speaker on Perl (and often topics unrelated to Perl, such as quantum computing, Harry Potter, or the Klingon language), has written several Perl modules, and is the author of Object Oriented Perl (Manning Press) and now Perl Best Practices (O'Reilly Media) which will be available soon (although you can pre-order it on Amazon (hint hint).
The Perl Review: Perl Best Practices has 256 guidelines. Is that number magic? Did you have to leave off some practices to make it work out?
Damian Conway: The weird thing is that it was totally accidental. Originally I had about 220 guidelines planned, but that slowly grew to about 240 as I as I wrote the examples, watched how I coded, and noticed that I was doing things (good and bad) that I hadn't realized I did, which I then needed to address.
The remaining guidelines were added during the technical review phase, as I discussed and debated suggestions with our 27 technical reviewers. Several of them had extensive industry experience, and were able to point out common mistakes that they saw all the time, which I was able to then cover in the book.
I didn't have time to track the number of guidelines during that last phase of writing, so it actually came as something of a shock when the number came out to precisely 2**8. I had to count again to make sure.
TPR: Who should read "Perl Best Practices"?
Damian: Well, naturally I hope every Perl programmer will read it.
Novices should read it because it highlights many of the "gotchas" that can make Perl harder to code until you're familiar with its mindset and idiosyncrasies. Intermediate programmers should read it because, along with experience, coding discipline is the main thing that separates a good programmer from a great programmer. Expert programmers should read it because they're the ones writing large, complex systems in Perl, so they're the ones who benefit most from the consistency and reliability that rational coding standards can bring to their source.
And, regardless of the level at which they're currently programming, I'd like everyone to read this book--not so much for the specific guidelines it suggests, as for the deeper issue it tries to raise. I'd like them to contemplate the notion that you can make choices about how you code, and that those choices really do make a difference to the quality of the code that you produce.
As I say in the Preface:
Just thinking about these issues--becoming conscious of the way you currently write code--can be of enormous benefit, even if you don't adopt a single one of the recommendations that follow.
TPR: You say that the guidelines are not ivory-tower. Is that ironic coming from a published (former) university professor?
Damian: And not quite "former" either. I still hold an honorary academic position. Yes, I suppose there's a certain incongruity there.
It's certainly true that academics--even nearly reformed ones--can be prone to ivory-tower thinking. But only if they stay in their ivory towers. And that's nearly impossible to do in modern economically rationalized, product-oriented, market-driven academia. "Publish or perish" has largely been replaced by "profit or perish" and that doesn't leave much room for wishful thinking.
Long before I reached academic escape velocity a few years ago, I was already earning most of my income from teaching and consulting into some of the biggest Perl programming shops around the world: Fortune 50 corporations, large scientific organizations, major government departments. And I hope that I've learnt as much from that experience as I've taught during it.
When you're given the (often nerve-wracking) privilege working with people who process transactions worth a billion dollars a day with Perl, or people who use Perl to track and cross-reference hundreds of thousands of major criminal and civil trial precedents, or people who filter vast quantities of scientific data through Perl, you quickly discover which techniques scale up to the real world, and which are best left in the classroom.
So when it came time to writing down all that advice, I was particularly careful to only include things that I know actually work and which scale up cleanly to large systems and real-world datasets. Several of my technical reviewers were particularly valuable in that regard; it's hard to argue with the practicality of advice from people who have actually built aircraft control systems, or real-time stock-trading agents.
TPR: Some of the practices seem to say "stay away from things you don't understand".
Damian: Well, I'd say that the message in those cases is more often: "Stay away from things that those who will subsequently look after your code don't understand." You may be the best programmer in your entire organization, but all that means is that whoever takes over the maintenance of your code won't be.
But, yes, it's also true that you shouldn't be using any tool unless you understand what it does and how it's likely to malfunction. Using the production code of a major project as a testbed for teaching yourself threads or ties or coroutines or OO or closures or continuations is generally a very bad idea.
TPR: So can "best practices" for an individual evolve as they understand more of the language?
Damian: Most definitely. For example, I offer several guidelines that are based on using closures. Now, if you don't know what a closure is, those guidelines clearly aren't going to work "best" for you.
As a specific example, although the book strongly suggests using the "inside-out" technique for implementing classes (Chapters 15 and 16), some less-experienced Perl programmers will probably find the interplay of object data distributed across multiple variables, the use of references as keys, and access control via named closures to be individually incomprehensible and collectively unmaintainable. So they would be much better off using ordinary blessed hashes as objects instead, until they have that "Aha!" moment and grasp the power and elegance of the more advanced technique.
A slightly subtler point here is that "best practice" is only rarely specific to an individual. Because very few programmers work as individuals. Most of us develop code in some kind of team structure, and "best practice" has to be what is most comprehensible and efficient for the team as a whole. It's definitely the case that a team's overall level of understanding and experience can evolve over time, in which case what works best for them may likewise change.
That's where I hope this book can also help. Because what doesn't change over time are the issues I'm trying to address: the importance of consistent naming and layout; the care that's required when handling Perl's various kinds of aliasing; the features that produce an intuitive and extensible interface; how, when, and what to document; efficient control structures and I/O handling; and so on.
Far more importantly than "laying down the law", I hope this book "opens up the discussion" and allows programmers at any point in their personal and group evolution to find reliable and maintainable ways of coding.
TPR: Do you think programming practice is more nature or nurture?
Damian: It can't possibly be nature: programming simply isn't a natural act.
And it can't really be nurture either, because most of us simply don't care enough about how we code, and certainly don't try to nurture better programming habits in ourselves.
I think it's more a matter to evolution under various internal and external selection pressures. Most of the things that most programmers do when they program is the unconscious expression of a learned behaviour or a conditioned reflex. As I say in Chapter 1, the style that most developers use...
...will be based on their earliest experiences in programming--the linguistic idiosyncrasies of their first language, the way in which code was presented in their initial textbooks, and the stylistic prejudices of their early instructors.
That style will develop and change as the programmer's experience and skills increase. Indeed, for most programmers, their style is really just a collection of coding habits that have evolved in response to the opportunities and pressures they have experienced throughout their career.
Just as in natural evolution, those opportunities and pressures may lead to a coding style that is fit, strong, and well-adapted to the programmer's needs. Or it may lead to a coding style that is nasty, brutish, and underthought.
But I do think we can nurture well-adapted habits, rather than "natural" ones. Culture can overcome instinct. If we choose to let it.
TPR: Have you noticed different trends in coding behavior between "real" and "accidental programmers", or does everyone have the same problems?
Damian: I'm not sure there are "accidental" vs "real" programmers. If you're a stenographer who is just writing a four-line Perl script to convert line-endings on documents, that's every bit as real to you as a 20-Ksloc-a-year hacker's codebase is to her. Maybe more real.
Of course, the level of experience, the depth of understanding, and range of tools available in those two situations may be dramatically different. But the problems aren't. They're always:
- How do I get this task done?
- Okay, now how do I get this task done correctly?
- Okay, now how do I get this task done efficiently?
And, of course, six months later:
- What the heck does this code do again?
- Okay, now how the heck did I do it???
TPR: Which coding styles have your personally evolved through?
Damian: My first programming language was Pascal, so the style I started with was very structured and formal. Then I taught myself C, so my style became a very structured and formal variant of Kernighan & Ritchie's. Then I rapidly picked up Fortran, COBOL, HyperTalk, Lisp, Prolog, csh, AWK, C++, Eiffel, Icon, PostScript, Miranda, Java, and AppleScript. So by the time I came to Perl my style was already seriously eclectic, possibly even postmodern.
In a sense, that was the original motivation for developing these guidelines. I realized that my own code--written in some weird creole of a dozen distinct language styles--was completely incomprehensible to anyone but myself...and sometimes not even to me! So I set out to reinvent that style, to morph it into an approach that still felt comfortable to me, but also helped other people understand what I was doing.
TPR: Which of your former styles do you consider the most disastrous (in any dimension)?
Damian: I think my greatest stylistic fault has always been my bad habit of letting short, tight subroutines gradually inflate into uncommented, unmaintainable, monolithic monsters; failing to adequately factor out the various subtasks into separate utility subroutines or, at least, not breaking the subroutine body into distinct "paragraphs" to make the subtasks easier to discern.
That's a common failing in many programmers, I think. We're so busy trying to write the code, that we forget that we're going to have to spend 5-to-100 times longer reading it. So we optimize for ease of immediate coding, rather than ease of long-term comprehension. A large fraction of this book is devoted to exploring ways to get past that (ultimately counterproductive) trade-off.
TPR: You stray from, delete from, or add to perlstyle in your recommendations. Does perlstyle, which started as Larry's recommendations and pretty much stayed there, need an update?
Damian: Actually, I think perlstyle stands up pretty well against this book. Or vice versa perhaps, since Larry's advice came first.
I deliberately didn't reread that particular manpage before I started writing, but looking back on it now I see that, of the forty or so substantive suggestions it makes, "Perl Best Practices" only disagrees with four of them. Of course, that may just reflect the inherent similarities in the way Larry and I think about programming, but I'd like to hope that it also indicates that the advice in both documents makes sense.
Of course, the book has over 200 other suggestions as well, some of which probably could be profitably added to perlstyle. But if you had to pick only forty of them, there are very few I'd change there.
TPR: You advocate names that read more like English, but a lot of words have ambiguous meanings. Will there ever be a perfect naming convention?
Damian: Sure. There's been one for the better part of a decade (Lojban), but only a few hundred people in the world can actually understand it.
I certainly do advocate using names that make code easier to read, and I specifically discuss the problem of ambiguous words. Fortunately it's only a very small list of troublemakers that create most of the problems: last, left, right, no, abstract, contract, record, second, and close. And, of course, the single worst offender, set, which has perhaps a dozen distinct meanings related to programming, and well over a hundred in general English usage.
But, if you avoid that last set (ahem) of words, ambiguity generally isn't a big problem.
TPR: Do the best practices change if you are coding in another language, say, well, I don't know, how about Klingon? Or Latin?
Damian: I'd say that at least half of the guidelines in the book are applicable to any programming language. Things like:
- Design a module's interface first.
- Write the test cases before the code.
- Create standard documentation templates for modules and applications.
- Use a revision control system.
- Agree upon a coherent layout style and automate it with a pretty printer.
- Code in commented paragraphs.
- Throw exceptions instead of returning special values or setting flags.
- Add new test cases before you start debugging.
- Don't optimize code...benchmark it.
These are universally good developer habits, no matter what languages you use.
As for your specific suggestions, Latin is much more free-form than Perl. Because the grammar is inflected rather than positional, you can basically arrange the components of any statement in whatever order you like. That does imply, however, that you need to take a great deal of care with naming variables and subroutines, since they need to be unambiguous in all contexts.
Programming in Klingon is a much more...err...vigorous past-time. I'm sure everyone has seen the The Klingon Programmer's Code of Honour. There's hardly any point worrying about coherent variable naming conventions when the code it doing it's best to kill you. One thing stays the same though: Klingons know that a true warrior doesn't cuddle his elses...he dead-grips them!
TPR: One of the practices involves adding
_ref to the end of reference
variables. Why not something like Hungarian notation to also denote
the reference type? Or did you have to stop the madness somewhere?
You can safely have one piece of Hungarian notation. But as soon as you have
two or more, they start breeding like rabbits and pretty soon you find
yourself using variables like
$rgddataszMax_ref, and spraining your
eyes whenever you try to read it.
I certainly did consider extending that particular suggestion to
_sref etc. and I know several very good programmers who do
exactly that. But, for the book, two considerations stopped me.
Firstly, I didn't feel that the extra information solved a real problem.
The reason to add
_ref to the end of a variable is that it can help you
detect and avoid the very common mistake:
my $samples = get_samples_ref(); # and later... $initial_value = $samples[0]; # Should be: $samples->[0]
use strict usually catches bugs like that, but not if there happens to
be a valid
@samples array in the same scope. However, if you consistently
mark references with a distinctive suffix:
my $samples_ref = get_samples_ref();
then it's easy to train yourself to see
_ref[...] or
_ref{...} as
a "red flag" (MJD's excellent concept!) that something is amiss:
$initial_value = $samples_ref[0];
So the suffix is designed to highlight a problem that
perl can't
always diagnose by itself. On the other hand, the interpreter can
always diagnose a problem like this:
$initial_value = $samples_ref->{first}; # Should be: $samples_ref->[0];
You always get an exception if the type of reference doesn't match the kind of dereferencing you're doing:
Can't coerce array into hash at doh.pl line 42.
So adding a type specifier to the reference marker solves a problem that is already solved automatically. Not that there's anything wrong with that kind of redundancy. As I said, several programmers whom I deeply respect do find it useful.
So I probably would have suggested it in the book except for one
problem that kept cropping up when I tried adopting the idea myself: I
kept misinterpreting the
_sref suffix. Hungarian notations like this
only work if they're unambiguous, but I kept using
_sref ("scalar
reference") when I meant
_cref ("code reference"). In other words, I
kept thinking of
_sref as "subroutine reference".
So I only recommend
_ref, because the type-nonspecificity of that suffix
forces you to think about what kind of reference you're using, and the
interpreter still catches any errors that creep in if you don't.
TPR: Some of your advice is likely to provoke fist fights. What's the best practice when reasonable people disagree over something such as punctuation?
Damian: The easiest way to resolve these kinds of honest disagreement is to fire one or both of the people involved.
Seriously though, it certainly is the case that a few of practices suggested in the book have very reasonable alternatives (which I usually discuss). Often the "best" practice in such cases depends on what's most important to you: efficiency, maintainability, or robustness. In such cases, each of the disputed alternatives probably represents an optimal solution when these three criteria are weighted differently.
So the way to move forward is to decide in advance what your "best-ness" criteria are, and how important each of them is. In other words, to specify your metrics before you start measuring.
Another important point here is that the most heated arguments are
usually over the least important issues. For example: where to place
block delimiters, or whether to cuddle an
else, or how many columns
to indent nested code.
The solution in such trivial disputes is to get everyone to acknowledge
that their arguments are largely "tribal" or "religious" in nature ("K&R
was good enough for my Granddad..." or "Larry uses four-column indents!").
Then get them to agree that it doesn't really matter whether everyone
uses K&R or BSD style bracketing, cuddled or uncuddled
else, or 4- or
8-column indents; what matters is that everyone uses the same
bracketing, cuddlosity, and indentation.
At which point you simply choose: either by flipping a coin, or by taking turns to make "draft picks" for these minor decisions, or by sticking with the defaults provided by your pretty printer, or simply by accepting the suggestions in my book.
TPR: When can you break your own rules?
Damian: Any time you like! This is Perl, after all, not Fascism.
The real question is: when should you break the rules?
And the answer there is: only when the following the rules would result in code that's less robust, less efficient, or less maintainable.
For example, I strongly recommend using exceptions (and the excellent
Exception::Class module) as your standard error handling mechanism.
Exceptions are a great deal more reliable than special return values,
because it's much harder to ignore an exception (you actually have to write
code to do so) than it is to quietly disregard return value (which happens
automatically in void context).
But if you're running some long automated process, like a daemon or a complex batch computation or a heavily threaded application, then a single uncaught exception can ruin your whole day. If uptime is your number one priority, you might choose to avoid throwing any exceptions anywhere in your system, so that there's no chance of an unexpected error killing your entire process. Of course, your code would become much uglier, as you'd then have to manually check every possible error in every scope, but at least you'd be confident that no unanticipated problem would be instantly fatal.
The whole point here is that one word: "choose". The guidelines I suggest are meant to function as reliable and safe default behaviours, as a set of good habits that avoid common problems and improve the resulting code. They're not meant to be seen as natural laws or supernatural Commandments. They should help you, not constrain you: guard rails, rather than cell bars. To use a different metaphor: to be an artist sometimes you do have to draw outside the lines; but if that's all you ever do, then you're just scribbling.
TPR: Some of the "Patterns" people also like to talk about "Anti-patterns", or "Worst Practices". Is that your next book?
Damian: No, though some might argue that it's the bulk of my CPAN directory. ;-)
Practically speaking, I hope this book addresses the dark side of programming too. The vast majority of the guidelines in the book don't just show a right way to do it, they also show one or more of the wrong ways. And, more importantly, I hope, explain why they're wrong.
That's essential, in my view. I'm asking people to change how they write code, so the onus is on me to both offer a better alternative and demonstrate why their current practices are flawed. Often the best argument is simply to take existing coding habits and extrapolate them to their inevitable unpleasant conclusions.
TPR: What would you advise those people who want to write a guide for their own team?
That's easy. What I
do advise at the very start of the book is this:
As you consider these pieces of advice, think about each of them in the context of the type of coding you typically do. Question your current practice in the particular area being discussed, and compare it against the recommended approach. Evaluate the robustness, efficiency, and maintainability of your current coding habits and consider whether a change is justified.
But remember that each of piece of advice is a guideline Whether or not you agree with all of them doesn't matter. What matters is that you become aware of the coding issues these guidelines address, think through the arguments made in their favour, assess the benefits and costs of changing your current practices, and then consciously decide whether to adopt the solutions offered here.
Then consider whether they will work for everyone else on your project as well. Coding is (usually) a collaborative effort. Developing and adopting a team coding style is too. Mainly because a team coding standard will only stay adopted if every member of your team is willing to sign off on it, support it, use it, and encourage other team members to follow it as well.
Use this book as a starting point for your discussions. Negotiate a style that suits you all. Perhaps everyone will eventually agree that--although their personal style is self-evidently superior to anything else imaginable--they are nevertheless graciously willing to abide by the style suggested here as a reasonable compromise. Or perhaps someone will point out that particular recommendations just aren't appropriate for your circumstances, and suggest something that would work better.
Above all, keep in mind that the goal of any coding style is to reduce your development costs by increasing the maintainability, robustness, and efficiency of your code. Be wary of any argument--either for or against change--that doesn't directly address at least one of those issues.
A review of Perl Best Practices appears in the Summer 2005 issue of The Perl Review.

Slain teen remembered by graduating classmates
Published: Sunday, May 26, 2013 at 6:16 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, May 26, 2013 at 6:16 p.m.
TAMPA — The classmates of slain Tampa teenager Calyx Schenecker plan to wear wristbands honoring her at their high school graduation ceremony.
Calyx was 16 when she was slain along with her 13-year-old brother Beau in January 2011. Their mother Julie Schenecker is charged with two counts of first-degree murder.
Calyx's friends at King High School in Tampa remember her as a thoughtful, brilliant and artistic girl. They tell The Tampa Tribune (http://bit.ly/1amBSdc ) that they'll wear wristbands in her memory at their June 4 graduation.
"She was the kind of person you met and said, 'I want to be that girl's friend,'" said Tatiana McHenry, a senior at King. She met Calyx when both girls were freshmen.
"It's hard because you think about the things we would be doing together at this time, how excited we would be for one another," she said. "It's a time when we are thinking about her more than usual. It's hard to remember you don't have her anymore."
Taylor Griffith met Calyx when both girls shared the same gym class in seventh grade. She described her friend as quirky and bold.
"We had days where we would have to go out and run on the track, and she and I would be the only ones running," she said. "We just hit it off."
She has since moved out of state. Calyx's father, Parker Schenecker, visited her at her own graduation ceremony last weekend.
Julie Schenecker's trial is scheduled for October. Her attorneys plan to use an insanity defense. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.

|Lumber waste no longer accepted at village tree pile
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Thursday, 20 March 2014 00:00
By Sheri Hink-Wagner
The Wauneta Breeze
Village Superintendent Bill Bischoff alerted village board members of a new rule on its way down from the Department of Environmental Quality regarding the village tree pile at the board's regular March meeting last week. The rule prohibits disposal of any sort of lumber at the village tree pile. Prior to the new regulation the village was able to accept non-treated lumber, such as 2x4s and plywood, as well as tree limbs at the village tree pile. However, under the new regulation all lumber is considered to be treated, Bischoff explained.
Previously the village has had a sign posted at the tree pile stating it was for tree cuttings only, but allowed non-treated lumber to be left as well. Bischoff said the village can no longer accept anything other than tree cuttings at the pile as the village will have to separate out any other lumber and take it to the dump in Imperial for disposal. Residents are asked to comply with the new rule and take their lumber waste to a proper disposal area, such as the dump in Imperial.
The former sign, which will be replaced soon, noted a $100 fine for dumping lumber at the tree pile. Village employees are researching the village ordinances to make sure the fine is included. The village will have a new sign that will outline what is accepted and prohibited posted soon.
Hot embers also prohibited
Bischoff noted the village has also seen illegal dumping of hot embers at the tree and grass piles. He said dumping of hot embers is strictly prohibited because they could start a fire. Hot embers, which were suspected to be the remains of items burned in trash cans, have been found at both the tree and grass piles. Bischoff noted he believes the proper disposal method for trash can remains is to water them down and place them in a dumpster for disposal.

With the slowly warming temps starting to gain momentum, it's hard to not get into a vacation-like frame of mind. But if I can't be flanked by palm trees on a daily basis, then donning Rio de Janeiro–inspired, retro jungle prints will have to do instead. To pull off this tropical trend (without going full-on "tourist"), mix neutrals with smaller doses of the energetic print. Note: Umbrella drinks are optional, but highly recommended.
A printed scarf is the simplest way to inject this bold pattern into an everyday look without going overboard. I paired one with a tailored white blazer for an urban vibe that can go straight from the office to a night out on the town. For a more casual day look, wear it wrapped around your neck over a cami, then when the sun goes down, fashion it into a halter top and slip on your favorite pair of espadrilles to take the night by storm.
Ready to commit full force? Jungle-fauna print pants are wildly cool when paired with a brightly colored sleeveless blouse, and best accessorized by some bossa nova playing on your headphones, a straw Panama hat, and arms piled with wooden bangles.

Choose the iCandy Palm Sunshade for summer holidays
Ensuring your young ones have sufficient protection in the sun is an important part of any family holiday abroad, and the iCandy Palm Sunshade can help you do it.
While sunshine and soaring temperatures are great for parents, children's more sensitive skin can struggle to cope with the conditions in popular beach holiday destinations.
Sun cream, hats and protective clothing are all essential, and a pushchair parasol can also be useful for sheltering your little ones from the rays.
The iCandy Palm Sunshade will give your children an added level of protection when they are in their stroller, helping them to stay comfortable in hot weather.
It is made from a maximum rated UPF 50+ fabric, which blocks 99% of harmful UV rays, and will cover your child's head, neck, shoulder and legs.
The Palm features a flexible central mesh band that enables air to circulate to prevent overheating and effectively filters 67% of UV rays.
There is also a removable front section to give you easy access to your young one, and which allows you to use the large canopy independently.
It is compatible with all iCandy pushchairs, as well as the Cherry, Apple and Peach 2 carrycots, comes in an easy-to-store bag and is straightforward to fit.
Simply pop the top of the Palm over the hood, secure the bottom section over the leg rest and attach the webbing security strap around the seat unit, and you will be ready to go.
As the Palm fits around the seat unit, rather than being secured to the pushchair's frame, it can be used with the seat in either a rear or front-facing position.
No summer accessory will avoid the need for sun cream and hats for kids, but if you want an added level of protection and somewhere comfortable for your young ones to snooze in the hot weather, the iCandy Palm Sunshade is a great choice.

I'm reading through this thread and can't help but think saleen is searching for a solution that doesn't have a problem. I'm a Sunday Ticket sub and I've never once tuned into the Game Mix channel. It could be removed from the lineup and I wouldn't care. Same goes for the Red Zone Channel.
I subscribe because I am a Cowboys fan living in North Dakota. If I'm lucky, I might get to see 4 or 5 Cowboys games a year without ST. Everything around here is Vikings, Packers and Bears.
The mix channel has no appeal to me because when I'm watching football, I tend to concentrate on one or two games. If the boys are playing, the channel doesn't change until halftime or the end of the game.
With the exception of some diehards like the ones who have posted here (nice setups by the way!), I would imagine your average NFL fan probably has similar viewing habits to mine. I guess the point I'm trying to make is the mix channel has limited appeal, and if this was really as big a problem as you seem to think, measures would be taken to limit the impact of blackouts on that channel.
The mix channel is a nicety. And pretty much hard to watch except when 4 or fewer games.
But to each his own.
