Search Git Logs
Sometimes you want to search your git commit logs to find occurrence of keywords or entries in your commit. If you are familiar with the classic UNIX string searching tool, 'grep' then you'll find this to be pretty handy to find entries in your commit log. Git comes standard with a 'grep' mode for achieving …View full post

Search Git Logs
Just type:
git log --grep="paypal"
Suppose that you want to search more than just the commit messages, but the commits themselves. Then, remove the 'log' argument, like this:
git grep "paypal" $(git rev-list --all)
Alternatively, if you want to get a more human-friendly display of the above command, use this command:
git log -S"paypal"
HTML5: Using a custom proxy browser to implement a custom protocol
Proxy browsing has been going on for quite sometime now, but some developers may not know the technical know-how on how to use it safely without infringing on some security issues pertaining to anonymity and ethical practices. There are several security issues concerning using proxy browsers which is to anonymously browse websites so as to hide your browsing history. Other times, you use a proxy browser to visit websites that has been prohibited by your systems administrator or bypassing blocks on banned websites.
I am simply going to mention some of its uses, give a technical breakdown of how it works and try to point out some directions in which some modern web browsers can implement custom protocols.
Uses of a proxy browser
– Surf the internet anonymously
– Bypass blocks on prohibited websites
– For web application testing purposes
Security-related Issues
– It can promote unethical browsing behaviors.
Note: This discussion is not advocating the use of proxy browsers for performing unethical surfing practices as you will suffer serious penalties from your ISP, who can place a ban on the IP address for which you are surfing with, which can result in heavy financial fines. It is simply for educational purposes to show you how to develop a simple proxy browser, create custom proxy protocols which can be interpreted into RAW HTTP protocols.
A proxy browser
A proxy browser is simple a light-weight web page that allows a user to type in a web site address, establishing transfer of data between a proxy server and remote resource object. A proxy browser sits on a proxy server that fetches the web resources interprets its contents and transmits the resulting resource back to a client object.
Creating a Proxy Browser in HTML
To begin with, you need to create a basic HTML page with a canvas for loading external web pages, add an input box and 3 or 4 basic buttons to perform the following basic browsing functions:
– Browse to a URL address
– Browse back
– Browse forward
– Refresh the page
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17
Using PHP for loading and rendering target URL
We will create a PHP document which will remotely fetch a URL specified by the end-user. In this example, I use the the function file_get_contents(), alternatively, you can use a PHP's build-in cURL function to get the remote URL.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
<?php global $url; $url = 'http://www.google.com/'; $request = isset($_GET['request']) ? $_GET['request'] : $url; $xml = @file_get_contents($request); $cache = 'cache.html'; $f = fopen($cache, 'w+'); fwrite($f, $xml); fclose($f); echo $xml; ?>
The above also creates a cache file for saving the content of the remote URL in HTML format. e.g. cache.html
And its that simple, you now have a proxy browser to surf the web.
Using Javascript and jQuery to create custom protocols
The next snippet of code illustrates how you would implement custom protocols for loading websites, mirrored websites, and web applications etc etc.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186
By implementing the above snippet, you will get some custom protocols such as below:
1 2 3 4 5
tw://bileckme twitter://bileckme del://bileckme delicious://bileckme bible://John 10:10
1 2 3 4 5 6
[Platform Browser] apps:// video:// mirrors:// networks:// sites://
Another example usage, is loading a database application such as Chive or PHPMyAdmin:
1 2
apps://chive apps://phpmyadmin
A lot more protocols can be achieved by implementing custom protocols in this manner.
Interfacing custom jQuery functions with PHP
– use ajax function name as a php pseudo function name
– implement jquery and let php echo the output.
– this can be useful if you want to only write your code in php only
– not really practical but it works some 90% of the time.
Note sure if there's any library out there that does this implementation but I do have some sample implementation which I use on some custom development projects, maybe you might find some of the insights useful if you are really into writing your own code.
See the following code snippet:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34
<?php function js_start(){ return '<script>'; } function js_add_jquery($version='1.4.2'){ return '<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/'.$version.'/jquery.min.js"></script>'; } function js_ajax($url, $data, $success){ return " $.ajax({ url: '$url', data: '$data', success: $success });"; } function js_end(){ return '</script>'; } //Example usage: // where success is behaviour you want executed on success $success = "function(data) { $('#page').html(data); }"; echo js_add_jquery(); // default version 1.4.2 is used here echo js_start(); echo js_ajax('test.php', 'name=John&surname=Doe', $success); echo js_end(); ?>
Storing data locally with WebKit's browser storage engine using HTML5
HTML 5 is starting to gain momentum in its adoption as a standard for developing the next generation web sites and web applications. We see its use in almost every web or mobile web application out there, and I am quite impressed with the kind of features exposed to developers to use for web application development.
One of my favorite uses of HTML5 is accessing the browser's storage engine and storing data for local use.
What is Local Storage?
Modern browsers today have the capacity to save large amount of data locally using light-weight database engines such as SQLite which can used for storing user prefere
nces and settings. The browser's storage engine is now accessible using HTML5 which exposes its properties using the DOM allowing web application access to the storage properties of the browser.
This DOM property can be referenced using window.localStorage as we see in the example below:
var store = window.localStorage;
localStorage is a client-side key-value database, meaning it is stored in the users browser. This property is available in HTML5 by default, but for compatibility with HTML4 and older browsers you can try out the YUI Storage Lite or YUI Storage Utility which allows cross-browser support.
Why use Local Storage?
One might ask the question of why this is really needed and question its importance in web development.
Here are some of the important points to keep note of:
- Saving the state of an application
- Caching data for reuse
- Storing user preferences
- Better alternative to using browser cookies
Saving State: Your application does not necessarily need to connect to some web service again to acquire the last state since its last active state. If a user closes the browser, the application can reload its last state when the application is reinstated since it has access to locally stored information.
Caching: If data has not changed then there is no reason to reloading the information over the internet again.
User settings: You can use local storage to store user preferences and give users more control on how they want your application to behave.
Using Cookies, Its Out-dated: Its more painful to fetch data in flat files, the information is relatively insecure and its not structured.
Testing browser support for localStorage
Its quite simple. See why that is:
1 2 3 4 5
if (typeof(localStorage) == 'undefined' ) { alert('Your browser does not support HTML5 localStorage. Try upgrading.'); }
Using Local Storage
I will be using the WebKit Sticky Notes examples to illustrate my point and explain just how easy it is to manipulate data and store data using your web browser's storage engine.
Establishing database connection
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23
var db = null; try { if ( window. openDatabase) { db = openDatabase( "NoteTest", "1.0", "HTML5 Database API example", 200000); if (! db) alert( "Failed to open the database on disk. This is probably because the version was bad or there is not enough space left in this domain's quota"); } else alert( "Couldn't open the database. Please try with a WebKit nightly with this feature enabled"); } catch( err) { db = null; alert( "Couldn't open the database. Please try with a WebKit nightly with this feature enabled"); }
WebKit Developer Tools
WebKit is an open-source web browser engine that powers Apple Safari and Google Chrome browser. It comes stacked with a lot of useful tools for debugging web applications. Have a look at the WebKit Developer Tools below:
Resources tab
The Resources tab shows your storage engine. The Databases section reveals the NoteTest Database with a table called "WebKitStickyNotes".
By typing an SQL query into the console screen, you can query the database and access data being store locally within the NoteTest database file.
SELECT * FROM WebKitStickyNotes;
After typing some text inside our notes application, you can see example of it being stored locally.
By digging a little further, and adding a second NOTE, you are able to see two more records added to the database table.
Evaluating some light-weight PHP database management tools
- its easy to upload to web server
- requires very low bandwidth
- its a single file that takes up negligible disk space
TinyMy is extremely small and supports MySQL databases. You browse through the database schema, write scripts and execute SQL queries from the one-page file. The file size after compression is just under 7kb and uncompresses into three files:
1 2 3
readme.txt tinymy.php sample.html
DBKiss is a one-page PHP file used to manage and manipulate 3 of the most common databases today. It is easy to upload to a web server and use, with very little overhead on your web server, if any. It supports MySQL and PostgreSQL and features import/export of data, searching of the whole database or single tables, an advanced SQL editor, saving of templates, multi-query execution with pagination, and more.
jQuery: fixing conflicts with other JavaScript frameworks
To fix this problem you need to explicitly declare the jQuery object instance to prevent conflicts and replace all instances of the
object instance with jQuery. Have a look at the following code snippet for better illustration of its implementation:
1 2 3 4 5
$(document).ready(function() { // no conflict on all jquery implementations jQuery.noConflict(); // remember to replace all $ instances with jQuery in your code });
Don't forget that you can also assign jQuery to any other variable name to use it as your pseudo reference to jQuery:
1 2 3 4 5
var $jq = jQuery; // or var $_
Chive – Database Management gets even better!
So I have been following the Chive project, an open source database management tool, for quite some time now. This impressive database application still in its beta stage boasts of performing incredible faster than its predecessor, in terms of responsiveness and a clean user interface.
MySQL Database Management has come along way since PHPMyAdmin to name but a few, but today just as many web technologies started to mature from what we knew as web 1.0 phase to web 2.0, so is the case for Online Database Management Tools. And MySQL is not backing out of the equation!
One feature I personally find that out-performs PHPMyAdmin is the handling of large database dumps, assuming that it uses a possible combination of AJAX and cURL to perform stream buffering over TCP by writing several chunks of data as streams from the database directly to a flat file. It uses the light-weight Yii Framework, therefore, borrowing numerous features from its design and implementation.
Chive is still pretty young and the code-base is immature in comparison to PHPMyAdmin, but only time would tell, before it makes it to the top of the best free Open Source Database Management Tools and accepted widely by the Open Source community. For instance, I believe that PHPMyAdmin comes bundled with some Linux Distros (I stand to be corrected), but if I were maintaining a Linux Distribution, I wouldn't mind including it in its source.
It would be fairly biased of me to only mention only the merits and not mention any limitations. There are few features I find lacking so far, and I believe that if included in future updates, it would definitely make managing database tasks even easier:
- It is not able to search the entire Database for a search term matching a specific keyword.
- It is not capable of maintaining multiple remote connections.
- It cannot print out or generate a Database Dictionary.
After all said and done, Chive still stands out as being a free Open Source Database Management tool with all the bells and whistles associated with all Web 2.0 standard applications.
Try Chive now, and see for yourself, just how easy it is to query MySQL and manipulate data.
Creating custom shell script with Zend Framework
Nothing beats writing an application using PHP CLI features. Its one of the basic requirements for all aspiring PHP Developers and PHP Gurus find it very handy when it comes to dealing directly with the core Operating System functions. Its even more interesting when working on Unix-based environment.
It is far more easier to be able to write scripts for the shell in PHP. And Zend Framework plays a very important role with its implementation of the Zend Framework library which has several useful components to make performing tedious tasks, a breeze. You can easily access the Zend Framework components and their configurations as if you are writing a normal MVC app, but without loading any unnecessary resources or invoking the MVC stack.
If is often and always not necessary to load controller actions when performing a simply task for your PHP CLI–dependent application, as a matter of fact it is absolutely inefficient to do so, as you end up introducing more problems into your application and using countless resources just to execute a CLI application. Zend Framework provides a way to solve these problems by implementing the Zend_Application component.
To begin with, add the following sets of code in your web application's bootstrap file often being "index.php" – a script that sets up and launches an application. It looks something like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
<?php // Initialize path to application directory defined('APPLICATION_PATH') || define('APPLICATION_PATH', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../application')); // Initialize application environment defined('APPLICATION_ENV') || define('APPLICATION_ENV', (getenv('APPLICATION_ENV') ? getenv('APPLICATION_ENV') : 'production')); require_once 'Zend/Application.php'; $application = new Zend_Application( APPLICATION_ENV, APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/config.php' ); $application->bootstrap()->run();
With Zend Application you have the flexibility of choosing what resources you intend to bootstrap, instead of referencing it in your application config and bootstrap (_init methods.) This script assumes the use of email and database to drive the point across:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21
<?php // Initialize path to application directory defined('APPLICATION_PATH') || define('APPLICATION_PATH', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../application')); // Initialize application environment defined('APPLICATION_ENV') || define('APPLICATION_ENV', (getenv('APPLICATION_ENV') ? getenv('APPLICATION_ENV') : 'production')); require_once 'Zend/Application.php'; $application = new Zend_Application( APPLICATION_ENV, APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/config.php' ); //restrict the application to limited resources needed for this script to run. $application->bootstrap(array('db', 'mail')); // loading the database and mail functions
Once we've completed the bootstrapping process and loaded only specific minimum system resources required for your application to load, you can then access the resources from the application like the code snippet seen below:
1 2 3
$db = $application->getBootstrap()->getResource('db'); // fetch records for the contacts table $row = $db->fetchRow('SELECT * FROM contacts');
As you see, working with Zend Framework is as simple as 123, well not quite as easy, in its literal sense but you get my point!

How do you detect the network connection type on Android?
Is it through
ConnectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo().getType(), and is the answer limited to Wifi and mobile?
How do you detect the network connection type on Android?
Is it through
If the problem is to find whether the phone's network is connected and fast enough to meet your demands you have to handle all the network types returned by
It took me an hour or two to research and write this class to do just exactly that, and I thought I would share it with others that might find it useful.
Here is a Gist of the class, so you can fork it and edited it.
Also make sure to add this permission to you AndroidManifest.xml
Sources for network speeds include wikipedia & http://3gstore.com/page/78_what_is_evdo_mobile_broadband.html
You can use getSubtype() for more details. Check out slide 9 here: http://dl.google.com/io/2009/pres/W_0300_CodingforLife-BatteryLifeThatIs.pdf
Also, please check out Emil's answer for a more detailed dive into this.
To get a more precise (and user friendly) information about connection type. You can use this code (derived from a @hide method in TelephonyManager.java).
This method returns a String describing the current connection type.
Remark: This code requires API 15+, but you can easily support older versions by using int instead of const. (See comments in code).
@Emil's answer above is brilliant.
Small addition: We should ideally use TelephonyManager to detect network types. So the above should instead read:
The answer from Emil Davtyan is good, but network types have been added that are not accounted for in his answer. So,
Here is a modified class which uses reflection to account for added network types in later APIs:
Currently, only MOBILE and WIFI is supported. Take a look and human readable type function.
On top of Emil's awsome answer I'd like to add one more method, for checking if you actually have Internet access as you could have data set to off on your phone.
Note that this is only for checking if theres a cellular data connection and will return false if you have WiFi connected, as the cellular data is off when WiFi is connected.
should get you the network name

Leaving Anatevka
Fiddler on the Roof closed last night after a three night run. It was community theatre at its best. Everything came together beautifully: the acting, the singing, the orchestra, the tech. Around 900 people saw the show and were generous in their praise of the production.
For me, it was a dream come true. Finding myself in Tevye's boots on stage was as wonderful as I imagined it would be. So many moments will last in my memory: the opening number, "Tradition"; talking to Lazar Wolf (John Klecha) about selling my "new milk cow" and then launching into "To Life"; allowing Tzeitel (Elizabeth Wentzel) to talk me out of my agreement with Lazar so she can marry Motel; "Do You Love Me" with Golde (Christy Kreidler); listening to Hodel (Ciara Adams) sing my favorite song in the show, "Far From The Home I Love," to me and then both of us crying real tears as the scene ends; denying Chava (Tyler Nevison) after she marries outside of the faith (more tears); and, of course, "If I Were I Rich Man," a show-stopping solo number if there ever was one.
Obviously, I'm leaving plenty of names out here. Our entire cast and crew worked very hard, for nothing but the love of theatre, to make Fiddler a success. Thank you to all of you for your dedication. It was a privilege to be your Tevye. And special thanks to Sue Daniels, who directed me in my first show in 2001 (The Music Man as Harold Hill) and launched my life in a different direction, one that has provided years of fun, laughs and challenges.
I know some professional actors and directors who make fun of community groups for "trying to do theatre" (despite many of them getting their start with similar groups). I reject that type of snobbery. Every community deserves art, including theatre art, and everyone should be encouraged to participate. Acting jobs that actually pay a living wage are rarer than hen's teeth. So bravo to those community theatre groups like the St. Clair Theatre Guild that work diligently to bring art to their communities and provide the opportunity for their members to express themselves artistically (while also having a lot of fun!).
As the good book says: "So I recommend having fun, because there is nothing better for people to do in this world than to eat, drink, and enjoy life. That way they will experience some happiness along with all the hard work God gives them." (Ecclesiastes 8:15)
Adventures with Tevye
Lately, I've been spending a lot of time with a legendary character. He has many noble qualities: he works hard, he's loyal to his family and his community, and he has a deep respect for knowledge and scholarship. When faced with a series of crises in his life, he reacts with wisdom and courage. He's a good man. I like him; he's a little crazy, but I like him.
I'm playing Tevye the Dairyman in an upcoming production of Fiddler on the Roof with the St. Clair Theatre Guild. It's a role I've wanted to play at least since high school, and probably earlier, because I know I've been listening to the music since I was seven or eight. The music is wonderful, haunting and beautiful, and it's a joy to get to sing the songs even in rehearsal.
I saw an interview with Harvey Fierstein (whose birthday is today), who played Tevye on Broadway a few years ago. I've heard Tevye described as an "everyman," an ordinary man facing extraordinary circumstances. Fierstein disagreed with this, arguing that if Tevye were merely an ordinary man, he wouldn't have had the strength and ability to react and change as his traditions were challenged by his daughters and by the world around him. I agree. And it makes theatrical sense as well, because we don't go to the theatre to watch ordinary people do ordinary things, but rather to experience the lives of amazing individuals in larger-than-life situations.
Tevye is a devout man, but his relationship with God isn't rigid, but instead is rather playful and informal. He believes that God is able to control things, but Tevye isn't afraid to talk back to this all-powerful being. He believes in the power of tradition to hold his family and his village together, but is also flexible enough to see when a tradition no longer serves its purpose and needs to change.
But even Tevye's open-mindedness has its limits. There is a line in the sand that even he can't cross. And the moments where he struggles with these decisions are among the most challenging I've played as an actor. The emotions that I'm feeling as I react to my three oldest "daughters" are as raw and real as anything I've experienced on stage. (It helps, of course, that all three of them: Ellie Wentzel, Ciara Adams and Tyler Nevison, are wonderful actors in their own right.)
It's easy to see stage musicals as something light and silly. Fiddler has always been much more than that, and I think its universal, lasting appeal to performers and audiences is the result of this realistic emotional depth. I've certainly enjoyed getting to know Tevye well. Like most memorable characters, I imagine he'll be sticking around with me far after our final performance on Saturday night.
The St. Clair Theatre Guild presents Fiddler on the Roof this Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June 12-14, 2014, at East China Performing Arts Center, 1585 Meisner Road in East China Township. More information is available on the Guild's website.
Tear down your wall
Walls keep us safe. They protect us from the cold, from danger, from the prying eyes of other people. They put a safe barrier between us and those who would rob, steal and harm us. Whether made of stone, brick, or wood (or virtual walls of electrons like a computer firewall), walls are intended to give us peace of mind from the worries of everyday life.
The building of our own personal walls begins when we are very young. Roger Waters depicted the building of this type of wall in Pink Floyd's 1979 double album and its subsequent film and stage adaptations. The "hero" of The Wall is indoctrinated at an early age to conform, to stop asking "stupid" questions, to stop questioning authority. He builds the wall around himself, assisted by parents, teachers, his wife, and others whose intentions are both benign and self-serving.
What does a three year old ask endlessly? "Why?"
What does a three year old ask endlessly? "Why?" Everything is unknown and needs to be explained. "Why?" If you were never told to stop asking "why," consider yourself fortunate. Most of us were, although those who told you stop asking "why" probably weren't malicious, just tired of being asked the same question over and over. Or perhaps the questions became uncomfortable or unacceptable. "Don't ask why, it just is."
As an actor, the most important question I can ask about my character and his actions is "why?" In building my wall, though, several of the blocks represented the barrier between what I wanted to know and what I was allowed to ask about. It wasn't until I allowed myself to ask "why?" about anything again – just as I had as a child – that I started to become a decent actor.
And as an unintended circumstance, I became a much more confident and peaceful person the rest of the time. I allow myself to ask "why" about everything, and while I don't have answers to all of the questions (yet), I am free to inquire and think about whatever interests me, without fear of being told to stop asking the questions.
There are risks. My wall isn't as rigid (though it does still exist), so I'm not as protected as I used to be. But the benefits, both professionally and personally, have been worth it.
Tear down your wall.

Is there financial aid for law students?
Yes. Information on financial aid at Bowen is available on this site. You can also contact the UALR Financial Aid Office at 501.569.3035. The law school's financial aid representative is available to help admitted students from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. the second and fourth Monday of every month in the Office of Admissions and Records, Room 104. Admitted students may also contact the representative at 501.324.9902 at those times.
Is my parents' income a factor in eligibility for financial aid?
When should I apply for Financial Aid?
At any time after Jan. 1 prior to the fall in which you seek to enroll. You must complete your free application for federal student aid (FAFSA) even if you do not yet know whether you have been accepted. For priority consideration, applications for financial aid usually must be completed by March 1, however, applications processed by June 1 are still considered.
How do I apply?
To get an idea of all of the steps involved, visit the FAFSA website. If you have not done so before, you will first have to apply for a FAFSA PIN. After receiving the PIN, you will complete the FAFSA application form.
If I am granted financial aid, when will I receive my loan money?
Your account will be credited in August and you will receive your change check for any amount in excess of tuition after the second full week of classes.
What scholarships are available for entering students and how do I apply?
The law school has 3 types of scholarships for entering students. All admitted applicants are automatically considered for these scholarships; you need do nothing extra to apply.
How will I find out whether I have received a scholarship?
An award letter will be included in your admission packet. In rare cases, however, you will receive a letter mailed under separate cover.
I didn't receive a scholarship as an incoming student. Will there be other scholarship opportunities after I enroll?
Yes. We offer a large number of private scholarships in various amounts. These scholarships are awarded to students in each class, including the second semester of the first year.

It's notoriously difficult to get in and out of Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Traffic will be so bad for this weekend's sold-out race, you might as well camp out. Since you're not driving anyway, why not have a beer—or ten? Join us as we roam Indy's campgrounds in search of the party.

In March, the Toyota Research Institute bought up Cambridge-based startup Jaybridge Robotics, and according to Tech Insider, they may be expanding with another famous Massachusetts company: Google's Boston Dynamics, the maker of the Big Dog and Atlas robots.
One of the biggest driving forces in the used car market, especially for cars that appreciate in value, is nostalgia.

Several years ago, Mazda had us all under the impression that a diesel version of the Mazda 6 would be on American streets by summer of 2013. It didn't happen. But, even after delay upon delay for its U.S. diesel efforts, the automaker reportedly still wants to go through with the idea for two of its vehicles.

Today's Indy cars look drastically different than those that ran in the first Indianapolis 500 in 1911, and that has a lot to do with the series' aerodynamic advancements.

When people mention James Hinchcliffe's life-threatening Indianapolis 500 practice accident one year ago, they often gloss over all of the gory details. Not Hinch himself, though. His recap of the accident—which he doesn't remember, thanks to a concussion—and his recovery on The Players' Tribune is a must-read.
Everyone knows it's the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500, but how are teams preparing for it? What do teams bring with them? How do they set up their car, and their work space? Join us for a walk through live now as we head into Chip Ganassi Racing Team's haulers here at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Indianapolis Motor Speedway certainly knows how to wake everybody up in the morning. "Legends Day" started off with historic race car laps, and my goodness, these things are fantastic. IMS may be known for its museum, but nothing beats seeing and hearing historic cars in action.
Jenson Button had a lucky moment in first practice for the Monaco Grand Prix, as a drain cover was sucked up off the road off Nico Rosberg's car and whacked into the front of Button's car. Fortunately, the heavy metal piece struck Button's tire and not the middle of the front of the car, but it wrecked Rosberg's wing.
All season long, professional cyclists have been run getting over by motorcycles during races. 25-year-old Belgian Antoine Demoitié died after getting run over during Gent Wevelgem, a stalled out motorbike caused a harrowing pile-up in Brooklyn last month, and Stig Broeckx was hospitalized after a medical moto ran…
Well, the Nürburgring 24 Hour race was fun for a few laps. While stormy weather was forecast, nobody anticipated a hailstorm that completely shut down the race.

good until it died
This review is from: HOOVER UH70400 WindTunnel Upright Vacuum Cleaner Gray
Pros: light weight, good suction, good wand extension hose length
Cons: only one attachment, requires manual disconnect/connect to use wand extension. access to clean brush roller requires removing 6 screws rather than quick-release. Big concern right now is that brush motor seems to have died after less than two month use and nearest service is an hour drive away!
Other Thoughts: attachment holder is not very good and falls off a lot; I end up holding it in my hand when not in use.

Surprised in a good way
This review is from: HOOVER UH70400 WindTunnel Upright Vacuum Cleaner Gray
Pros: Powerful, small and with a low sound. We bought the UH70400 as replacement for an old Dyson that was very heavy and loud. My wife used the new vacuum as soon as it got home and she was surprised by it's power and size compared with the Dyson. She was moving it easily from one room to another and loved the way it functioned.
Cons: Only 3 accessories come with the package.
Other Thoughts: Would have liked a couple more accessories but for the price we could not really expect more.
Did you find this review helpful?
This review is from: HOOVER UH70400 WindTunnel Upright Vacuum Cleaner Gray
Pros: Having been impressed by a Hoover WindTunnel vacuum(not bagless) before, I decided to buy this one. The UH70400 has excellent pickup, and it excels at sucking up lint and hair. The first time using it captured an enormous amount of dirt and lint my old vacuum missed.
Cons: The only minor design flaw is that the holder on the back of the vacuum for the 3-in-1 hand tool (when not in use) doesn't work well. This tool falls off easily. However, this is a flaw found on plenty of other vacuum cleaners.
Other Thoughts: As my second bagless vacuum, this Hoover shows how much the technology has improved. Bagless is the way to go!

Synopsis: The idea is simple: A married woman and a single man meet. They love, they argue, fists fly. A dog strays between town and country. The seasons pass. The man and woman meet again. The dog finds itself between them. The other is in one, the one is in the other and they are three. The former husband shatters everything. A second film begins: the same as the first, and yet not. From the human race we pass to metaphor. This ends in barking and a baby's cries. In the meantime, we will have seen people talking of the demise of the dollar, of truth in mathematics and of the death of a robin. [Synopsis courtesy of Cannes Film Festival]

MFT Greatest Hits - Stephanie Fizer
Last month, My Favorite Things did a special Greatest Hits feature, where we looked back at some of our favorite Who's That Girl sets. We decided to do it again today, only this time we're using all of our favorite Stephanie Fizer sets. Visit the MFT blog anytime after 11 am for a list of all of the Fizer Greatest Hits being shown today. And guess what?? Kim is generously offering a 15% discount on all Stephanie Fizer sets today (5/13) and tomorrow (5/14) only. Use code FIZER at checkout to claim your savings!
I've always had a soft spot for Snuggle Bunnies. (Okay, who am I kidding? I have a soft spot for all of the Fizer sets!) Today, I've paired up my Snuggle Bunnies with some October Afternoon Farm Fresh paper. I love how Melody and Jody used the Jumbo Scallops Die-namics die to create an awning. I went with the same idea here to create (loosely) a stage curtain. Imagine it's the final act, the curtain is about to fall, and, as with all fairy tales, they lived "hoppily" ever after (in their little fruit and veggie heaven).
Thanks so much for visiting!

Contrary to re-circulating email, there is no new cell phone national do not call database.
I don't know about you, but I got my first cell phone when I was well past junior high. Fast forward to the year 2013, where 78% of teens ages 12-17 now have a cell phone, and almost half of those teens own smartphones.
These stats are hot off the press from Pew Internet and American Life Project's new study, "Teens and Technology 2013." The research takes a closer look at smartphone adoption and mobile access to the internet among American teens, with some eye-opening results.
The mobile apps market is thriving and lots of app developers are striving to be players in the game. If you're developing apps for smartphones, tablets or other mobile devices, there are some basic truth-in-advertising standards and privacy principles that apply to you.
Oh yes, it's that sweet time of year again — Spring Break is almost here! Whether you're off to sunbathe on the sand, see the sights, or ski the slopes, it pays to be an informed travel shopper.
The United States Sentencing Commission recently submitted to Congress its comprehensive report examining federal sentencing policy in child pornography cases.
Although still only a small percentage of the overall federal caseload, child pornography prosecutions have grown significantly during the past decade and now account for nearly 2,000 federal cases each year. That growth reflects the increasing role of the Internet in child pornography offenses. Before the Internet, law enforcement officers had significantly curtailed the child pornography market in the United States.
If you've ever gotten a text message on your cell phone telling you that you've won a free prize, you're not alone. During the past year, the FTC has gotten tens of thousands of complaints about unsolicited text messages.
National Consumer Protection Weeks begins today, and it's the biggest and best NCPW in 15 years. Thanks to 64 federal, state and local agencies and nonprofits that are putting the spotlight on the critical consumer protection work they do year-round, consumers have easy access to a tremendous variety of timely, useful information about recognizing and reporting frauds and scams, managing credit and debt, using technology, and staying healthy and safe.
The FTC and HTC America announced a settlement recently that requires the company to fix security flaws in their smart phones and tablets that put users' sensitive information at risk. If you're wondering whether your device was affected, you'll be relieved to know there's a new webpage for HTC users that lists affected HTC devices and the status of updates, along with a toll-free number for information (866-449-8358) that is staffed from 8 am to 1 am EST.

If you're thinking about applying for an online payday loan, you might be dealing with a direct lender – or you might be dealing with a loan aggregator. A direct lender lends you the money; a loan aggregator is a middleman – a company that collects your personal and financial information on a loan application and shops it around to lenders who might offer you a loan.

I searched the forum and only saw a post from 4 years ago so I was wondering if things had possibly changed. Is it possible to input FAAB or is it read-only?
The reasoning is that right now I run a keep fantasy league with small tweaks to the FA system. I keep track of everything manually now but would love to develop a system to do it for me.
Any thoughts?
There hasn't been much work on the Yahoo Fantasy API since 2012 and just small tweaks here and there since 2011. I'm pretty sure FAAB still read-only through the API.
Actually, I think I may have misinformed you. According to the documentation, FAAB can now be included in the POST for a transaction resource.
Thanks but it looks like the transaction resource is for each team's waiver bids etc. It doesn't include the commissioner function of changing each team's FAABs which is what I'm looking to do.

Ouch! Is there a way to diffuse the wind on your balcony? A friend of mine is using the breathable material from an old shade cloth-like awning from a travel trailer to shield his tomatoes from the wind and it seems to be working.
Maybe a floating row cover? Though the lightest ones might rip too? I don't know, haven't used them yet myself
Thanks @FW and @LS. Great ideas, but it's usually not such a problem. (No problem last year at all.) I got em cinched up pretty good now, and it seems all the damage that could be done has been. Wow, did I just jinx myself? ;)

A Moreno Valley child who showed symptoms of ingesting illegal drugs may have been sickened by eating Halloween candy that was tampered with, according to sheriff's officials.
Authorities believe the candy might have been collected while trick-or-treating on Halloween in the 25000 block of Calabria Drive, Riverside County sheriff's officials said in a news release.
UPDATE: Candy in boy's illness still being tested, sheriff's officials say Monday
[mappress mapid="443"]
"At this time, there have been no other reports of anyone in the community becoming ill from ingesting tampered candies," according to the release.
But sheriff's officials urged parents to inspect treats before letting their children eat them.
If parents have reason to suspect their child's candy was tampered with, they should contact local authorities, Cpl. Robert Martinez said.� Anything unwrapped or homemade should be discarded.
Investigators are contacting residents on Calabria Drive, Martinez said.� No arrests have been made.
The child who became ill had been playing with other kids at a neighbor's house on Saturday, Nov. 2, according to the release. The child's age was not disclosed.
Soon after arriving home, the child began exhibiting symptoms of being under the influence of illegal drugs, so his mother took him to the hospital immediately, about 9 p.m., authorities said.
"During the investigation, officers discovered the child may have consumed candy that was tampered with," according to the statement.
Martinez said investigators were looking into the possibility that the child could have been sickened from another source, but at this point, they believe it was the candy collected during trick-or-treating. He said testing was underway to determine what kind of drugs were involved.
Anyone with information on the case may contact the Moreno Valley police at 951-247-8700.

"Sisters" by Raina Telgemeier: Raina can't wait to be a big sister, but once Amara is born, things aren't quite how she expected them to be. Their relationship doesn't improve much over the years. But when a baby brother enters the picture, and later, when something doesn't seem right between their parents, they realize they must figure out how to get along. They are sisters, after all.
"Amulet Book Six, Escape From Lucien" by Kazu Kibuishi: Navin and his classmates journey to Lucien, a city ravaged by war and plagued by mysterious creatures, where they search for a beacon essential to their fight against the Elf King. Meanwhile, Emily heads back into the Void with Max, one of the Elf King's loyal followers, where she learns his darkest secrets. The stakes, for both Emily and Navin, are higher than ever.
Kazu Kibuishi is the Eisner-nominated creator of the #1 New York Times bestselling Amulet series of graphic novels as well as the graphic novel Copper. He is also the cover artist of the recently released 15th anniversary editions of the Harry Potter series written by J.K. Rowling, and the founder and editor of the Flight Anthologies, a critically acclaimed comic series.
"Sisters" is the companion to Raina Telgemeier's critically acclaimed graphic memoir based on her childhood, "Smile." Her memoir is a New York Times bestseller and winner of the Will Eisner Award for Best Publication for Teens, and the book received a Boston Globe–Horn Book Honor.

Re: Looking to repair my credit score
Re: credit length and that SL: the *derogatory* aspect will fall off at the 7 year mark. After that, it's a closed account in good standing.
Also, if you only have one credit card reporting, you may want to have 1-2 more. Maybe wait until you have everything else cleaned up and you have opted out. Then shop for a couple of cards that are appropriate to your scores at that point. For ideal scoring, you want no more than half of your credit cards reporting a balance between 0-9%. If you have 3 cards, you can have one reporting under 9% (for $500, that number is less than $45) and the rest reporting 0. To keep them all active and reporting, you may want to rotate which one you use every month. Credit cards generally report around when they issue a statement, and they usually have some grace period during which you aren't paying interest. It is possible to get that 9% or less balance reporting by charging items that clear before the statement but within the grace period and then paying them off after the statement cuts, thus avoiding interest and getting the reporting results that you want.
Starting Score: EQ 583 TU04 619 EX 592 (lender pull) 2010
Previous High Score: EQ 700 TU04 712 EX 726
Current Score: EQ 740 TU(Discover) 750 EX(AMEX) 747
Goal Score: 740+ all around

They Always Come Around
Because it seems like a week can't go by without some right-wing figure who once said they could never support John McCain suddenly deciding that they will support him after all, we bring you this:
Former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum told a radio show in January that a Sen. John McCain presidency would be "very, very dangerous for Republicans" because McCain often sided with Democrats on domestic issues.
Santorum's perspective, however, has changed.
During an interview Tuesday Santorum pointed to two examples as turning points: the religion forum at Saddleback and the selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as McCain's running mate.
"Knowing McCain, he's choosing someone in whom he sees a lot of himself," Santorum said during a telephone interview with the Intelligencer Journal about his Senate colleague of 12 years. "He tries to find people who have a similar head as he does, and if he sees him in her … that gives me a better feel for him and a little more confidence in him."
Of course, that is pretty much to opposite of what he was saying last year:
Former Sen. Rick Santorum has drawn at least one conclusion about the Republican presidential primary field: Anybody but John McCain.
"The only one I wouldn't support is McCain," Santorum said during an interview in his office at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, where he is a senior fellow.
"I don't agree with him on hardly any issues,'' Santorum said. "I don't think he has the temperament and leadership ability to move the country in the right direction."
