I am trying to identify from the Task Manager the static and dynamic activities of my system in order to store them into a database.
An example of what I call static processes are like some services or processes start once the system starts or a user log-in, and they are never closed unless that user logged-out or the system has been shutdown. If you noticed these processes while opening the Task manager, you can see their related information do not change.
Those which their information keep in changing I call them dynamics process and I need them to be stored in a database every-time their values change.
My question is: can I filter the Task manager to display only those active dynamic processes and services ?
.. and if possible, i need a link that explains the life-cycle of the services and processes of windows-7 or any windows ... thanks

JBW TO THOMAS CARLYLE; 30 December 1823; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18231230-JBW-TC-01; CL 2:495-497.
Haddington 30th December [1823]
My dear Friend
You never sent me a letter in your life that afforded me more satisfaction than your last. For a week I had been marvelling at your silence, and for the last two days of it I had been miserable outright. I do think there never was a brain so clever as mine in conceiving all possible calamities. One minute I fancied that I had lost your affection—at least in part—(and the conjecture looked likely enough; for you had seen me face to face, and must have found it no easy matter to recognise in my actual self, the superexcellent creature you had been picturing me among the hills of Perthshire.) and then I regre[t]ed that you had come hither at all, to be disturbed from an illusion so agreeable to us both; but presently the consciousness of my true affection for you reassured me on this head, it was impossible that you could cease to love one who loved you so faithfully and so well—and the next minute I had fully persuaded myself that you were ill-God knows there was small comfort in that view of the matter—the idea that you were dying, perhaps actually dead was like to drive me crazy altogether— Mercy! what an ass I am— The blue devils, it turns out, was all the matter!
The fates are against us my dearest Friend— This truth grows plainer and plainer every day. You however may fight it out to the end. You have a brave spirit in you, and nothing—nothing but a premature death can prevent your being in the long run one of the brightest ornaments of the age we live in—of this I am very sure— But for me! I have not force of mind to struggle through. "I have no genius"— I feel it—my ambition will be born[e] down at last by the difficulties that oppose its gratification—and when my ambition is no more what good reason will there be that I should occupy any room in our Creator's Universe— Lord have mercy upon me! when I cease to be ambitious I am a ruined woman!— I could not help smiling in bitterness of heart, when I found that your time had been spent, since we parted quite as unprofitably and unpleasantly as my own— You left me more than ever bent on well-doing, more than ever prepared to kick to the Devil every obstacle that should withstand the lofty purposes of my will. In this proper mood I was set down to my books before you were a mile on the way to Edinr— For two days I went on briskly at the appointed rate, on the third I was taken ill—more seriously than I had been before, and almost ever since, I have been bundled up among blankets on a sofa, and constrained to follow Mrs Montagu's divine prescription1— Oh the thumping pain in my head and feverish listlessness of mind that I have endured for these last three weeks I declare I was many times tempted to help myself to a doze of Arsenic when their detestable drugs and decoctions afforded me no relief— But I am well now—better than I have been for several months— I fell asleep one day last week, and for eight and forty [hours] slept as soundly as the enchanted Princess in in [sic] the story book— When I came to myself I was quit[e] another creature— I mean to devote the remainder of this year to the recovery of my strength, and to set to work in good earnest on the first of January—
Thus Rübezahl2 and Gibbon remain in stato quo and three weeks more of my time is passed away 'leaving no wreck behind'3—but tho' my illness has impeded my progress it has materially mended my situation; and therefore I nothing regret it— When my Mother saw me so white-faced she quite forgot all my enormities and shewed a tenderness and solicitude for me which I have not experienced from her for a great while & I flatter myself that chance has thus laid the foundation of a more agreeable relation betwixt us in time to come. I assure you it shall not be my fault if I fail to conciliate her goodwill— to live without it, as I was living, would in a very short time break my heart. Do not allude to this subject when you write because— I must not keep your letters from her any longer. Tho' you recommend it to me to make concessions I am afraid you will hardly thank me for making this one—but it must be so— I cannot help it without casting matters back to where they were—as long as there was no confidence in my Mother's treatment of me, it passed well enough—the secret which I made of your letters looked merely like retaliation. But at present the case is quite different and such a reserve on my part would break very awkwardly in on* my confidential conduct in other respects and give rise to suspicions which it is neither for your credit nor mine that she should entertain— Besides, after all, it cannot prove any hardship to you or me that my Mother should see your letters as long as she continues in this benign humour. It is not necessary that you should write under any restraint[—]she will understand you, understand every thing at present just as I like—to convince you of this I need only tell you that I read her your last letter all except the part that related to herself (for skipping which I made a very bungling apology) and she found no fault with it. She even laughed heartily at your Mother's projected trip to Cornwal[l]—and after that what have we to fear?— indeed I should not have told you my intention at all—but have put into execution without making any words about the matter, only that I dreaded lest by alluding to herself you might place me again in a very awkward predicament— I cannot write another line— I never was so tired in my life— God bless you my dearest Friend— Yours for ever and ever

(5:30 p.m. EST) -- This weekend, Hurricane Ida caused a few cruise ships to make last-minute itinerary changes to avoid rough seas and heavy winds, sending passengers scrambling to research what to do in new ports of call. But, what happens to travelers who pre-book independent shore excursions?
Experienced cruisers know that, if you book a tour through your cruise line's shore excursions department, you get an instant refund if the ship misses that port. However, passengers booked on independent tours don't always have that luxury. Because every tour operator has its own policy, it's important to check the terms and conditions of the contract ahead of time.
Here are a few tips and tricks to keep in mind:
No deposit, no worries: If you haven't put down any money in advance, you have nothing to lose. Just contact your tour operator to alert them that you're canceling the tour.
Change of dates: If your ship has simply rearranged its itinerary, keeping the same ports but visiting them in a different order, it's likely you can simply reschedule your private tour for a different day. Contact the operator as soon as you learn about the change in plans, so they can check tour availability or arrange for a guide on a new date. It's easier for them to make adjustments with advance notice.
Outright cancellation: If you've paid a deposit on a privately arranged shore excursion, and your cruise ship is unable to call in that port, how much money will be refunded depends on the operator's stated policy. For example, Shore Trips -- a company that helps cruisers book shore excursions in multiple ports -- says that they "refund all excursions if the ship doesn't make port in time or doesn't make port at all," as long as you alert them within 12 days after the scheduled tour's date about the cause of the cancellation. Cozumel Tours has a "No Port, No Pay" policy for cruise travelers. If a port stop is canceled during your cruise, due to unforeseen circumstances, the company will refund 100 percent of your money. If the itinerary is changed in advance of the cruise departure, they will either give you a voucher to reschedule the tour within a year or refund 90 to 95 percent of your tour cost.
Most large tour operators seem to have generous refund policies for missed ports. However, there's always a risk you'll lose your deposit, so be sure to read the terms and conditions (or ask about the cancellation policy) before booking a private tour. If you're not guaranteed a refund, consider purchasing travel insurance that will cover the cost of the tour in case weather or a mechanical problem causes you to miss a port.

Moving-coil meters
by Chris Woodford. Last updated: August 30, 2015.
Need to hunt down a problem lurking in an electric circuit? You'll need a meter of some kind, maybe even an oscilloscope. Most people use digital meters these days that show readings of current, voltage, and resistance on an LCD display (they're sometimes called solid-state or electronic meters). But many of us still prefer the old kind of meter with a pointer that sweeps back and forth on a dial. Moving-coil meters, as these things are known, are still widely used in all kinds of different equipment, from airplane cockpit instruments to sound-level (VU) meters in recording studios. Let's take a closer look at how they work!
Photo: A typical high-current ammeter on a car battery charger. This one can indicate the approximate size of a current up to 6 amps (A), though the scale isn't marked precisely enough for accurate measurements.
Electricity makes magnetism
Moving-coil meters work in a similar way to electric motors. If you know how one of those works, understanding a meter is easy. Either way, let's start from the beginning. If you send an electric current down a metal wire, you briefly create a magnetic field around the wire at the same time. You can't see it but it's there nevertheless—and you can make it do some very interesting things. Put a compass near a wire, switch on the current, and you'll see the needle flick off course as you do so. Switch off the current and the needle will flick again. Roughly speaking, this is the science at work in a moving coil meter: the electric current passing down a wire creates a magnetic field that makes a needle flick to one side. But how does that happen, exactly?
Inside a meter, a tight coil of copper wire, wrapped round an iron core, is mounted in between the poles of a permanent magnet. The coil has connections at either end so you can pass an electric current through it and it has a long pointer stuck to it that runs out across the meter dial. When you connect the meter into a circuit and turn on the current, the current creates a magnetic field in the coil. The field repels the magnetic field created by the permanent magnet, making the coil rotate and turning the pointer up the dial. The more current that flows through the coil, the bigger the magnetic field it creates, the greater the repulsion, the more the coil turns, and the further up the dial the pointer goes. So the pointer gives you a measurement of how much current is passing through the coil. With appropriate calibration, you can use the dial to measure the current directly.
Photo: James Clerk Maxwell summed up the relationship between electricity and magnetism in his theory of electromagnetism, published in the mid-19th century. All electromagnetic gadgets—from motors and generators to moving coil meters—are based on science figured out by Maxwell and other early pioneers of electromagnetism.

Spent a wonderful 6 hours setting up djbdns (tinydns + dnscache) as a secondary name server. I managed to hack together a working solution, but am confused as to why it did not work out of the box.
Both primary & secondary name servers live behind a Cisco ASA, external IPs get NAT'd to appropriate internal subnets, in this case DMZ for the name servers.
Primary NS is run by a Plesk-type CP, so djbdns configuration is all GUI, and runs fine. Now, until I discovered the extortion that is secondary name server hosting, I was considering offloading this task to a 3rd party. No thanks, trop cher for this frere. Anyway, roll-your- own-time: have a file server sitting in colo rack not doing much of anything, let's put it to work.
Following this tutorial:
I got everything installed just fine; however, nothing worked, or at least only digs against localhost worked. I needed dig@dmz-ip foo.com to resolve.
Not knowing any better, I hacked the dnscache & tindns env/IP files, reversing them, so tinydns listens on dmz and dnscache on localhost. Restarted both services and voila, was able to dig from remote laptop to secondary name server IP and resolve the domains that we host, wonderful.
So, I thought, well I should do this properly, and blew away everything, reinstalled, and set tinydns to listen on dmz and dnscache on localhost (as I had done in manually hacking env/IP files). Tried to dig @localhost foo.com, nada; same deal with dig@dmz-ip foo.com. WTF? Yes, wtf. In Noob mode, I tried tindyns on localhost, both on dmz, etc., nothing worked.
In the end I installed dnscache on the dmz, tinydns on localhost, and then env/IP reversed them (dnscache on localhost & tinydns on dmz). It's the only way I've found to get them working, and am completely at a loss as to why I could not just install without having to hack env/IP files.
djbdns users, feel free to chime in, am glad I finally have a working setup, but that was a hellacious evening, would like a clean setup if at all possible...

China Mobile's Nokia Lumia 920T to be launched on December 5. HTC 8X and 8S headed to China next month, too
We've heard a lot about China Mobile's Lumia 920T lately, and now it is almost time for the smartphone to be officially launched.
Numerous Chinese websites, including CNMO, are reporting that China Mobile (the world's largest mobile carrier in terms of subscribers) and Nokia will host a Lumia 920T launch event on December 5. The handset will probably go on sale shortly after that.
Unlike the Lumia 920 that's already available in Europe, North America or Hong Kong, the 920T comes with enhanced graphics (Adreno 320 instead of Adreno 225) and TD-SCDMA / TD-LTE connectivity. Other than that, it's basically the same device. It will be available in various color versions (red and black being among them).
While the Nokia Lumia 920T, with its excellent 8.7MP PureView camera, will certainly attract many Chinese customers, it isn't the only Windows Phone 8 handset that's going to be available in China. According to Winp, HTC is getting ready to officially introduce its 8X and 8S WP8 devices in Beijing on December 6. It's not clear when the two will be available, though. Moreover, there is no word if HTC has reached any agreement with a Chinese carrier (it doesn't have too many options anyway – just China Unicom and China Telecom, alongside the already mentioned China Mobile).

Our culture glorifies the new. Trendy garments with built-in obsolescence quickly lose appeal when they appear on the "what's not" side of the "what's hot" fashion column. So they're relegated to the back of the closet….stuffed into a bottom drawer… and, if they're not dumped into the trash, they eventually find their way to thrift and consignment stores where they languish under the humiliation of multiple markdowns and overpopulated racks.
As every savvy recycler knows, treasure often hides between purple power suits and polyester broomstick skirts. And the thrill of finding a mustard dupioni silk blouse or a fine gauge British wool dress makes the sometimes exhaustive searches worthwhile. I am proud to say that I design all of my garments from recycled materials.

A friend of mine wrote the following on Friday and has given me permission to post it. I have been warning for years that the elites want to censor the internet as it is humanity's most powerful tool; a place where free thought still thrives. A "cyber-false flag" could be an effective way to escalate tensions with Iran (or whoever else they care to demonize at the moment) and at the same time crack down on the internet, in order to quell the awakening occurring within the population in the wake of the elite's egregious economic and other crimes.
The most pathetic thing is on Friday I read this headline: "JAIME DIMON SAYS IRAN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SOME BANK CYBER ATTACKS"
My response on twitter was: "Bailing out banks wasn't enough. Now we need to start WW3 for them."
Anyway, without further ado, here is my friend's write-up.
In Liberty,
A False Flag Cyber Attack
"It's just a matter of time before we have a cyber Pearl Harbor."
– Jamie Gorelick, Deputy AG to the Senate, July 1996.
Notice all these "cyber attack" headlines in the news at an increasing frequency lately? They're usually tying it to Iran of course. They are there for a reason. Our government is building the narrative…"planting the seeds" so to speak in the mind of the public. Remember folks, these are the same people that lied about the nature of the Libyan attacks, conducted the Fast & Furious false flag attempt and then lied about it when it went horribly wrong, and constructed the absolutely comical "plot" supposedly between Iranian Quds Forces agents and hit men from the Mexican drug cartel Los Zetas to assassinate a Saudi prince (these are only recent examples on an obviously nearly endless list).
What do we know? Let's make a list of what I think we can all more or less agree on:
- Our government lies to the American public on a daily basis. The mainstream media by and large are complicit pawns of the State.
- The "democratization of information" is working against their lies. Just look at disapproval ratings of both government and mainstream media. Recall the Nazi propaganda master Goebbels' famous quote "the truth is the greatest enemy of the state".
- Our government wants to take over and clamp down control over the internet, because it's too efficient at holding them accountable. We've seen multiple failed attempts to pass legislation this year to attempting to achieve this, all marketed under different names (CISPA, SOPA, PIPA, etc) and now Defense Sec. Leon Panetta is proposing the idea yet again of the government "partnering" with business to "protect us" (fascism anyone?).
- Our economy is currently floundering on the verge of, or quite possibly in, recession.
- Our Federal Reserve is "all in" with their recent QE "forever" announcement a month ago. Not only that, but they are running out of things to buy as they soak up the majority of long dated US debt and the mortgage backed security market. Their printing press soaking up all of these assets is actually now causing very detrimental distortions as Gresham's Law takes effect and the Fed begins to dominate one financial market after another.
- Our Federal Reserve's policy of "print and pray" is becoming increasingly impotent. Not only is it difficult to find incremental psychological leverage beyond "forever", but the "positive" psychological effects of "QE cures all" has run its course. Everyone gets the joke.
- Despite diminishing psychological effects from the Fed's policies, we are however continuing to see monetary policy cause increasing unintended physiological damage to the markets and economy. Look no further than the two bank earnings reports today from JP Morgan and Wells Fargo. You think the Fed intended QE to eventually kill the net interest margins of their very own primary dealers?
- If the Fed panics, we could see a "quick sand" situation where the harder they fight, the deeper they sink. The curtain has been pulled back on the Great Oz. I think I heard a child just yell "The Emperor Is Naked!".
- A crisis is a very efficient and productive tool for governments to enact and conduct various measures that they otherwise normally wouldn't get away with
- Our government bangs the war drums louder and louder by the day about an imminent cyber attack. Yesterday Jamie Dimon discussed it at the Council on Foreign Relations. Last night Leon Panetta discussed it.
- Our government and Israel want to go to war with Iran…they just need a good reason
- Historically war is a very common outcome from major currency/debt crises, whether as a way to wipe out the debt or to distract the populace from the domestic crisis
- "The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists." – Ernest Hemingway
My thoughts on how this could play out? When this floundering central bank experiment gone mad comes to its inevitable demise, which may be closer than many think (note the ECB's comment Wednesday "THERE'S NO MONETARY SOLUTION TO DEBT CRISIS" as well as the languishing price action in stocks since the QE3 "infinity"), and when the market no longer reacts to the Fed's intravenous drip of monetary morphine…never mind the impending fiscal cliff, on top of the economic recession and corporate earnings contractions currently underway…the house of cards will fall back to economic reality. We will see what happens when the "tail wags the dog" in a fragile market structure dominated by HFT algo drones making mirage markets when all these ETF inflows try to unwind at once (it's fair to say that people have moved out of mutual funds and into ETFs for an easy speedy exit), especially those junk bond ETFs. Maybe we'll see a flash crash and they'll call it a "cyber attack", or maybe they'll engineer a false flag cyber attack and use it as the reason for the crash and a reason to enact bank holidays. Who knows, maybe even postpone the election. Why not? They'll most definitely blame it on Iran and use it as an excuse to go to war with them finally, which we all know they're angling for. They'll also use it as an excuse to clamp down on informational internet freedom once and for all…for our "protection" of course…with an internet version of the Patriot Act (see CISPA, SOPA, PIPA). What better way to build public consensus for war than by blaming the destruction of everyone's wealth on a "rogue country", while simultaneously distracting their attention from the central bank's disaster and epic policy failure? Multiple birds, one stone. Blame Iran, shut down the internet, the Fed's lab experiment maintains credibility ("it wasn't us!"), and now we have an excuse to bomb Iran. Who knows, maybe it will usher in WW3 given the strong economic and diplomatic ties between China, Russia and Iran… which coincidentally happen to the countries that are most aggressively diversifying out of the US Dollar and happen to be the countries that our government lists as the biggest cyber attack threats to the US. The foundation for this narrative is being built right before our eyes… A cyber attack would be the perfect tool because we'd just have to take the government's word for it. The perpetrator would be a nameless, faceless entity existing somewhere out in cyberspace. Don't believe that our government will go to such great lengths to lie and cover their butt so as to perpetrate a cyber attack to accomplish multiple agendas simultaneously? Go check out Fast & Furious, the blatant lies and cover up of the true nature of the Benghazi attacks, and the Iranian Quds-Zeta Saudi Prince assassination plot. PROBLEM. CRISIS. SOLUTION. "Never let a crisis go to waste."

The Actual Importance of SEO
27 Sep
Businesses snot giving importance to SEO: There are people who think that SEO is no more important. They are all for social media and blogging and think that these are enough for their websites' success. But honestly speaking this is never going to help them. Though these are strong methods and they will bring out the best yet it never is going to match the success that proper SEO methods can bring to a website. There are reasons of course why people may consider that SEO isn't that important for them. There are reasons like business websites who are now having their in house website developing teams which also include content writers and SEO professionals. They also think that it isn't possible to bring people to a website through SEO strategies. They also think that website designing is important and can alone do a lot for the websites. But the truth is that though all these are applicable and true to some extent, ranking of a website still means a lot for your business. Now if you are confused and asking then how much is the importance of SEO for a website. We can tell you one thing. SEO or Search Engine Optimization is a process through which the online visibility of a website is increased. This means that the website can be viewed more easily by other than other websites.
What you must know: SEO helps the website owners to make connections with their targeted audience. Through these strategies the websites' value can be understood by the search engines and they will give them a proper rank, thus allowing the website to be displayed before millions of eyeballs. You will get a lot of traffic from the most popular search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, AOL and more. This means that you may have the umpteen number of visitors to your website who use these search engines. But it doesn't mean that you need to invest your finances a lot over the SEO services. What is more important is the content of your website as you must be knowing. The more you have informative and rich content in your website, the better will be the result. People will know that you are a good source and will trust you, which is equally important for your online survival and achievement. Therefore optimizing of keywords, checking the bounce rate and keeping it in check and Meta tagging will do enough for you. You should also adopt to directory and social bookmarking as they also help you in getting noticed.
More: However, the main focus should be on your visitors and the potential customers. They must feel that the website is meant for them and not for just ranking in search engines. And as for those who are still not believing we would like to suggest them to check their strategies and see if they were right. If you do SEO aptly, you are sure to get results.

Seeking to capture a likeness, be it prose or 'selfie', is a notoriously evasive task. The psychology of the subject, patron and artist all have to be considered. The elusive perfection of the human face has brought artists from Vermeer to Picasso to portraiture. There is something inherently enchanting about the genre, such that it is little wonder that the most famous painting in the world is indeed a portrait. Happily, you needn't stand shoulder to shoulder with tourists in the Louvre to experience the curious pleasure a portrait can provide. Bostonians are lucky to have New England's rich history of art collection to thank for its containing some of the finest and least known works of the genre.
It seems fitting to start with a critical figure of Boston's history. After attending Harvard, William Morris Hunt spent much of the mid-nineteenth century studying art in Italy, France and Germany, eventually forming a close friendship with the Barbizon School painter Jean-François Millet. The oil painting of Olivia Buckminster Lothrop (mid 1860s) is a perfect example of the blossoming culture of New England society, with portraits serving as status symbols and badges of taste. Hunt was responsible for a fashion amongst the Boston elite for French sophistication, which he used to promote his friend Millet as much as himself. The fine fabric of her dress and lace are charismatically painted, with a scrupulous attention to detail that permits no denial of Hunt's work with the French realist Thomas Couture.
Painted in 1543, the portrait of Sir William Butts, M.D. is a treat for monarchical history enthusiasts and medical historians alike. It's also exciting if you like dramatic noses. Hans Holbein the Younger was a German painter who won over King Henry VIII, so much so that he became the portraitist to the court. Here Holbein shows us another important personage of the monarchical staff, Sir William Butts, a royal physician. If you wander into the Dutch room of the Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum, you will see him accompanied by his wife, Margaret Bacon. So much about this work is distinctly Tudor, the characteristic cap, the prominence of the golden chain and the sober dress of an attendant to the King. This was not the only work that Holbein painted of Butts, he also appears in the large work 'King Henry VIII Grants the Charter to the Barber-Surgeons'.
'Self-Portrait, Aged 23' painted in 1629 by Rembrandt is an oil painting exhibiting both the lifelong stylistic qualities that make Rembrandt's work so remarkable, and the potential of the young man early in his career to hone those qualities. This work is a real treat for those amongst us with a taste for history, as it serves as a real encapsulation of the painter's life at that moment. Unlike his other self-portraits, his face is not saturated in expression and drama. Unusually, the work is more about costume than it is about character, with the characteristic yellow light falling on a plumed hat and fine clothes. He is even wearing a golden chain that denotes the noble profession of painting. The clue as to why this might be lies in the pristine finishing of the painting. The meticulous of the finishing combined with the air of vague respectability serves as an advertisement for the aspiring artist. It is a rare opportunity to see one of the most important and famous artists in the western tradition as a fledgling genius, as wonderfully illuminating to his history as his chiaroscuro is to his subjects.
Both the portrait of Rembrandt and Butts may be found in the Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum, while the painting of Lothrop is in the MFA. You may notice that all of these artists are men, and as a disclaimer it is prudent to add that these works were produced in an age where women were seldom permitted creative rights. Such a delve into the past was chosen due to provide variety from my other rather more modern articles, which feature an equality of artistic genius.

Autocompleting tags on Android App
It would be great if autocomplete (cached from my own tags) is available when adding new bookmarks via Android app, so I don't need to type the whole tag again which makes the process of adding bookmarks easier and faster. Also, it would avoid mistakes in typing tags which creates new tags instead.

This lack of features have forced me to post bookmarks on delicious from android, but delicious doesn't provide the awesome sync feature that diigo has.
Ironic...they have to copy from Delicious....again!
David Sheardown commented
I have to say, one of the main things ANY bookmark service needs is a way to ensure you have (at least the option) to re-use existing tags you may have used - otherwise trying to group/find existing bookmarks becomes very difficult. I hope more people vote on this, because it really is a major missing feature in the mobile (android in my case) app. The chrome extension is pretty much perfect in that I can tag with existing tags.

Cavity wall insulation
Around a third of all of the heat lost in an un-insulated home is through the walls. Insulating cavity walls reduces heat loss and can save you around £110 a year on your fuel bills. Cavity wall insulation can also help to reduce condensation inside the house if it is a problem on external walls.
If your home was built before or around 1920, its external walls are likely to be solid rather than 'cavity walls'. Cavity walls are made of two layers with a small gap or 'cavity' between them. This cavity acts as a barrier to reduce heat flow through the wall. Solid walls have no such gap and this allows more heat to pass through them than through cavity walls. In fact, twice as much heat can be lost through an un-insulated solid wall as through an un-insulated cavity wall. But the good news is that, like cavity walls, solid walls can be insulated – from the inside or the outside.
Solid walls can be insulated in two different ways: with internal insulation (from the inside) or external insulation (from the outside). Both options can make your home warmer and more comfortable and greatly reduce your energy bills at the same time. Although grants may be available, insulating your walls can be expensive, with internal installation costs varying between £5,500 and £8,500, but you could save up to 40% on your annual heating bills (around £365 per year on average) and 1.8 tonnes of CO2 respectively.
How does cavity wall insulation work?
Heat will always flow from a warm area to a cold one. In winter, the colder it is outside, the faster heat from your home will escape into the surrounding air. Cavity wall insulation slows down the rate at which it escapes, keeping as much of it as possible inside your home for as long as possible. Insulation makes it much more difficult for heat to pass through your walls by filling up the cavity with a material with lots of air pockets in it. These pockets greatly reduce what is known as your walls' U value – which is a measure of how quickly they lose heat. The lower the U value, the slower heat is lost – and the less energy you need to keep your home warm.
Why insulate your cavity walls?
Cavity wall insulation is an effective way to save energy and money at home. A well insulated house keeps warmth exactly where you need it – indoors. So, insulating your cavity walls will help you to heat your home more efficiently. Using less energy reduces carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) – one of the biggest causes of climate change. Cavity wall insulation can also help to reduce condensation inside the house if it is a problem on external walls.
Benefits of cavity wall insulation:
- Keeps your home temperature comfortable all year round.
- Cuts your carbon footprint & greenhouse gases by preventing heat loss.
- Increases the value and saleability of your home.
- Reduces traffic noise and other disturbance.
- Prevents the effects of condensation and mould.
- Lowers your household emissions.
Grants are awarded on a first come first served basis and funds are limited, so if you don't apply now, you could miss out.

According to many guides I've found, the search domain in /etc/resolv.conf should be used for dotless queries only. However, man resolv.conf says this about the ndots option:
sets a threshold for the number of dots which must appear in a name given to res_query(3) (see resolver(3)) before an initial absolute query will be made. The default for n is 1, meaning that if there are any dots in a name, the name will be tried first as an absolute name before any search list elements are appended to it. The value for this option is silently capped to 15.
This contradicts the claims about search domains being used only for dotless queries, and also seems to be true. I first noticed it by accident using tcpdump. When resolving for example reallynonexistentdomain.com, and my resolv.conf contains 'search test.com', the result is two queries: reallynonexistentdomain.com and reallynonexistentdomain.com.test.com. Both queries get the NXDOMAIN answer, and resolving seems to work as it should, but is there any way to prevent the latter query? It is obviously bogus and (not 100% sure about this) a potential security risk.
What practical reasons are there anyway for appending the search domain to a fully qualified domain name (or more specifically, a name with at least ndots dots)? I can't think of any. Wouldn't it be better if the resolver just didn't try use the search domain at all when the original query is answered with NXDOMAIN, provided that it had at least ndots dots?
I'm using Debian wheezy. Could the behavior be different on other distributions, or other UNIX-like systems?

Yup, you read that right. Starting 21 May 2008, Elex Media manga prices will increase by 15 percent—from a previous IDR 12,000 to IDR 13,800 per manga. Retail prices of older, long-running series will be tomerarenai-adjusted come 1st June. This means Elex manga will now cost more than Level Comics'—previously the priciest of the Gramedia imprints—that is, until Level decides to follow the Elex example.
Meanwhile, based on the three thousand price adjustment on HanaLaLa 26/2008, the magazine that serializes Hakusensha's Hana to Yume and LaLa shōjo titles in Indonesian and which also streets next Wednesday, I'm expecting the other Elex mangazines: Nakayoshi 56/2008 (Kodansha); Shonen Magz 47/2008 (Kodansha); and Shonen Star 41/2008 (Shogakukan) to be similarly re-priced from IDR 22,000 to IDR 25,000 per issue.
If you know your currencies, you might be wondering why I'm whining here. Thirteen thousand eight hundred Indonesian rupiah converts to only about USD 1.49—a far, far cry from how much either a Chuang Yi Singapore manga (at around USD 6.22, close to four-fold its Indonesian counterpart) or a nearly 600 percent more, VIZ Media published one like Ouran High School Host Club (USD 8.99)—or even one Japanese tankōbon (almost four dollars) would retail for. Differences in per capita income aside, 15 percent is still 15 percent (or in the case of the HanaLaLa price increase, under 14 percent); in practical, acquisitive, falling purchasing power terms, that's still one less manga for every 10 I used to be able to buy.
Ah, well. I think my formerly groaning bookshelves are now rejoicing. Small mercy.
Elex Media 21 May 2008 manga releases
The increased prices make these release lists even more useful now, seeing as I have to be more selective of the titles I buy. For sure from the 21 May batch, I will get HanaLaLa 26/2008 (can't live without Arakure and PenKaku), the first volume of Jungle Boy, the Tsuki no Shippo 3 you see on the left (I thought we were only going to get volume two this month; turns out I was wrong), and the final installment of Saitoh Misaki-sensei's Ultra Panic. At least two titles are going to be sacrificed but I'm not telling which ones (you probably don't care anyway or could probably guess ¹).
And speaking of Jungle Boy, as noted in the May 2008 Elex master list, this IS the J-Boy series by Under the Sun manga-ka Nakamura Rie-sensei. Here again is my translation (partial) of the Elex Book Review synopsis:
Accompanying his father on an expedition to Africa, Sunao Tokugawa is ill-prepared for life beyond the African continent. But one day, his father disappears and Sunao is forced to return to Japan and live with his mother, a famous actress. Unable to fit in with students at a regular school, Sunao is transferred to a boarding school, one that just happens to be inhabited byunique creatures.

College Hockey:Wolverines Defend Mason Cup
Michigan Outlasts Ferris State For Title
DETROIT — Going into the title game of the CCHA Super Six as underdogs may have been unfamiliar territory for the Michigan Wolverines, but the rest of the scenario was nothing but dj vu for the defending Mason Cup champions.
Senior Jed Ortmeyer netted two goals, fellow senior John Shouneyia had two helpers, Rookie of the Year Jeff Tambellini scored one and assisted once, and defenseman Brandon Rogers registered three assists as Michigan captured its second consecutive Mason Cup with a 5-3 win over regular-season champion Ferris State.
Michigan head coach Red Berenson gave credit for the win to his senior class.
"I think you need your best players to be your best players, and I've always said that you have to be as good as your seniors, and I think you saw that tonight in the way John Shouneyia played, Jed Ortmeyer, Mark Mink — to a man, our seniors really stepped up, and Jed had the opportunity to make a difference offensively, defensively."
Michael Woodford scored the game-winning goal. Chris Kunitz had one goal, and Simon Mangos had a goal and an assist for the Bulldogs.
"I thought we played pretty well, and as the game went on we got better and better," said FSU head coach Bob Daniels. "I think both teams expended a great deal of energy in the first two periods, and by the time we got to the third, it was tough being two goals down."
Tambellini opened the scoring for the Wolverines at 4:25 in the first, a puck that bounced off an FSU defender and went in right between the legs of a screened Mike Brown.
When Nick Martens was called for obstruction-holding at 10:26, and the Bulldogs capitalized just after the ensuing faceoff won by Jeff Legue. Legue passed to Mangos in the left corner, and Mangos centered to Kunitz, whose shot from high in the slot beat Al Montoya clean at 10:47.
The first period ended 1-1.
Ortmeyer's two second-period goals — one even strength and one on the power play — gave the Wolverines a 3-1 lead going into the third.
Mangos' goal early in the third cut the Michigan lead in half, but Woodford answered with just his fifth goal of the year two minutes later to put the Wolverines ahead for good. Matt York tallied again for Ferris State at the 17-minute mark to keep the Bulldogs' hopes alive, but Helminen sealed it with the empty-net goal at 19:55.
"It's a great achievement for the Michigan hockey program," said Berenson of the postseason title, the sixth in the school's history. "We've had adversity. We lost some great players last summer. We had injuries to two of our top players the first half of the year — Ortmeyer and Shouneyia — but our team really came together in the stretch run.
"We had a tough schedule, we found a way to stay in the hunt and then to get down here to Joe Louis. The competition is the best I've seen it.
"I think the game was a great team effort by Michigan, but your leaders and your seniors set the tone and I think the young players respond."
Ortmeyer and his classmates have played in three consecutive CCHA title games, losing to Michigan State 2-0 in 2001, and beating the Spartans 3-2 at the end of last season, so this experience was nothing new to them, but he said they relished it just the same.
"We like to play in big games. That's the reason you go to Michigan, to play in a game like this. I like to play physical, and they're a hard-nosed team. It's hard to get the puck behind their D."
"Our players played very well tonight, played very hard," said Daniels. "I couldn't ask anything more of our team and our players."
Both Michigan (28-9-3) at Ferris State (30-9-1) will find out in Sunday's NCAA selection show where they'll be seeded in the tournament. As a host team, Michigan will play in Yost Arena next weekend, but the Bulldogs won't know where they're going until the show.

The first sneak peek is set in the future. Barney, Robin, Lily, and Marshall are at Ted's future home. The conversation turns to Marshall's work, and he is not happy at all about being back in corporate law. Lily tries to stay positive about him getting another call to be a judge, but Marshall does not share her enthusiam.
The second sneak peek is at Barney and Robin's wedding reception. Barney starts a conversation with The Mother, and by the end of the clip he has a moment that looks like a light bulb going off. Will he introduce Ted to the bassist at his wedding?
The final sneak peek shows the gang meeting Robin, and Lily wants her to be a part of their group. She needs more estrogen. However, Robin is just another one of the guys. She orders scotch and watches sports like the rest.
Craig Thomas has teased that fans will see a very special guest on the finale as well. Anything goes as this series comes to an end. Fans will be lost without this Monday night comedy. Lindsay Lohan even protested the series in her own way. According to The Wrap, she smashed up a car because she was so upset about the series ending.

Many of the jazz aficionados were caught by surprise when, out of nowhere, came an e-flyer of an event called Mostly Jazz featuring a combination that no one would ever think of. The iconic and respected Indra Lesmana teamed up with one of the fastest rising stars and crowd gatherer Barry Likumahuwa and the all round young drummer, Sandy Winarta. It all happened in April 21, 2010. What made us surprise was the move of Indra Lesmana to grab two of the most established young musicians as a part of his way to make something big for the jazz development in Indonesia. They hadn't got any names at that time. Moscatly which is located at the fringe of Jl Veteran in Bintaro became the first witness of the early seed. A crazy list of jazz artists were presented at that time, such as Riza Arshad, Indra Aziz, Indrawan Tjhin, Indra Dauna, EQ Puradiredja, Dira Sugandi, Andien, Doni Sundjoyo, Joy Marantika, F.A Talafaral, Don Tham, Aditya Bayu and Nikita Dompas, just to mention a few. In our report on this historical moment, we called it the birth of Indonesia's Jazz Movement. (Read the report here). Eventhough Indra Lesmana had started the movement by opening his Inline Studio every Friday Night for free-for-all jam sessions, the first ever Mostly Jazz was a giant step because it was finally served for public for the first time.
Several months after that, we got another surprise when Mostly Jazz reappeared again on November 14, 2010. Indra and Honhon took this event into the new venue Red and White Lounge which become the crime scene of Mostly Jazz up ever since. We met the trio of Indra Lesmana, Barry Likumahuwa and Sandy Winarta once again at the 3rd episode on December 12. This time they already had a name, showing that they have established this collaboration as a solid group. And the name is LLW, stands as the abbreviation of their family names also often mentioned as the title of their album, Love, Life, Wisdom.
This group made their second turn in the next episode on January 9. At that moment, Honhon Lesmana officially announced this event will be served weekly. Now Mostly Jazz has reached the 29th edition, and now we have LLW back again. Not only performing, this time LLW invites you all to celebrate their album which is finally available in the shape of digital CD.
It's certainly interesting to see this trio. Indra Lesmana is the icon that carried the legacy of his father, Jack Lesmana who also led the earlier jazz movement around three decades ago. Now the torch is in his hand. Realizing his calling, he's now commited to bring this Indonesia's jazz movement into a new height. He's successfully done it until now, but it's not over yet. He's still carrying it at the best he can. The Mostly Jazz will continue on for more months or even years to come, hopefully. And for the LLW, this group has been making tremendous achievements not only for the local jazz scene but also internationally. It's amazing, especially since they just started the journey not too long ago. Two 'naughty' musicians are with him in LLW. Barry Likumahuwa is a shining bassist from the young generation. He's explosive, powerful and skillful. Often he steals some lines during the play with his groovy bass touch, creating surprising sounds here and there. Sandy Winarta is just the same behind his drums. This guy can optimize the sound of drums, changing the style all of a sudden without destroying the flow. He can make the drums come alive and communicate with us. With the unpredictable manouvers from Indra Lesmana whether on keyboard, Fender Rhodes, Hammond, piano, melodica, Moog and any other instruments (even drums if necessary), this man can always create the whole new game with his magic touch. If the three of them are already spectacular in creating a fully spirited jazz, wait until you see how they can stretch it much further by the contributions of four other artists: DJ Cream, Dira Sugandi, Indra Aziz and Kyriz Boogiemen. It's like having a new dimension of jazz in the urban environment. Add the word soulful with Dira in it, and there, you got the new magic of jazz unlike what you've heard before.
LLW started by releasing the album in the mp3 format, distributed by Amazon, iTunes and Reverbnation. They directly made big achievements soon after. Being listed as no 1 Jazz Artist in Reverbnation for Indonesia region and no 41 worldwide, reaching the top 18 Jazz Best Sellers on iTunes in just a week or so are something we all should proud of. Recently Honhon said that LLW – Love Life Wisdom has made it as the 15 World Playlist in LA Times Magazine. It should be very special especially to Indra Lesmana since this album celebrates his 35th anniversary of his journey in jazz, which was all started by his participation in "Jazz Masa Lalu dan Kini" live album in 1976.
For making this historical moment of LLW more special, other than presenting a special show at the Mostly Jazz this Sunday, there will be a special two hours of clinic too that will be held on July 11,12 and 13 starting at 3pm until 5pm at Inline Music, Jl RC Veteran 555 unit 8H, Rempoa/ Bintaro, Jakarta. It's open for everybody who's interested in jazz. The clinic will be based on their knowledge and explerience in jazz. There, LLW will share everything about their concept. The kind of jazz they play, influences and the new album Love Life Wisdom. The admission fee will be IDR 150.000/day, including a free CD of LLW's album. For more info and registration, please refer to this page.
There are many Indonesian jazz musicians both individually and groups now shine internationally, something that they really deserve. One of them is of course LLW who has opened up the yes of jazz lovers around the world to see the awesomeness of jazz from Indonesia. We are looking at the ambassadors of Indonesia that make us proud. While the politics keep on exporting ridiculous bad campaign of Indonesia world wide, these jazz heroes have done remarkable efforts to prove the otherwise.
Let's celebrate the official release of LLW album in the shape of CD, and enjoy the magical moment from these jazz wizards. The whole team of LLW will be there for certain, so we will get the whole complete pictures along with their wild exploration on creating such music. Will there be jam session? You bet. Indra Aziz will guard this section as always. It's time to get stunned this Sunday, so make sure you won't miss it!
