TV Ratings: Big 'Modern Family' return lifts ABC on Wednesday
'The Middle,' 'Suburgatory,' 'Happy Endings' and 'Revenge' also win in the demo
Facing repeats and "I Get That A Lot" on CBS, ABC had no trouble sweeping Wednesday primetime with new comedies -- "Modern Family" led the way -- and "Revenge."
Among adults 18-49, ABC averaged a 3.3 rating, far ahead of CBS' 2.0 rating in the key demographic. NBC and FOX both tied with a 1.0 rating, while The CW posted a 0.3 key demo rating.
Overall, ABC averaged an estimated 9.38 million viewers to go with a 5.8 rating/9 share for Wednesday night. CBS was second with 8.2 million viewers and a 5.3/8, more than doubling NBC's 2.6/4 and 3.84 million viewers. FOX's 1.7/3 and 2.69 million viewers and The CW's 0.6/1.
[Univision averaged 3.51 million viewers and a 1.4 rating among adults 18-49.]
8 p.m. - ABC started primetime in first with "The Middle" (9.95 million viewers and a 3.0 key demo rating) and "Suburgatory" (8.73 million viewers and a 2.9 key demo rating). CBS' "I Get That A Lot" drew a solid 8.32 million viewers and a 2.3 rating among adults 18-49. NBC's repeats of "Up All Night" and "Whitney" averaged 3.33 million viewers to beat the 2.35 million for FOX's "Glee" repeat. The CW's "Secret Circle" repeat marathon continued and averaged 971,000 viewers for the hour.
9 p.m. - "Modern Family" (13.98 million viewers and a 5.6 key demo rating) and a big drop to "Happy Endings" (7.73 million viewers and a 3.3 key demo rating) dominated the 9 p.m. hour for ABC. CBS' repeat of "Criminal Minds" averaged 8.21 million viewers and a 2.0 key demo rating for second. NBC's "Harry's Law" repeat averaged 4.46 million viewers and a 0.8 key demo rating, compared to the 3.02 million viewers and 1.2 key demo rating for FOX's "Mobbed" special. The CW's "Secret Circle" repeat averaged 838,000 viewers.
10 p.m. - CBS actually won the 10 p.m. hour overall with 8.06 million viewers for a repeat of "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," which finished second with a 1.7 key demo rating. ABC's "Revenge" was second with 7.96 million viewers and won the hour with a 2.5 rating among adults 18-49. NBC's "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" repeat was third with 3.72 million viewers.
All ratings information comes from preliminary Fast National Nielsen data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are subject to change.

20k shares tuesday @ $8.02!!! You can thank me for this!!!! Oh, when will I ever learn to ignore the pumps...
Sentiment: Hold
Sorry friend. But you can feel a little better knowing someone bought at 9:30 A.M. today.....45,000 shares @ $8.10. Good luck to you.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
still below a buck pre-split....no respect
I've been watching CYCC for years. This time I'm pretty sure your share price will be passed soon. It's tough to hold when you see a plummet but sometimes that's what you've got to do.
This drop was predictable given the recent quick rise. But with the possibilities here of a successful drug or a buyout, while high risk, this is clearly also high reward. Today was just a blip on where we might be in a year. I so expected this drop that I sold all of my shares (7500) at about 7.70 and bought back today at 7.01). Can't say I am surprised that it went down signficantly more, but I simply did not want to be caught with my pants down if Sunday's news is better than expected or if there is notice of a buyout by Celg or a settlement worth tens of millions. Any of these possibilities, and we are above ten.
I am so #$%$....ed, bought in at $7.90 and i am seriously freaking out. I feel sick. How is it possible to drop so much in one day.

Make durable 3D plastic parts.
Vacuum-formed plastic is everywhere, from take-out coffee lids and blister packaging to airplane interior panels. I use vacuum forming to make toy prototypes in my own shop. I usually use a professional machine, but in a pinch I've used this ultra-cheap, homebrew rig with great results. You just need to build a simple wooden frame and a hollow box, and then your oven melts the plastic and a household vacuum cleaner supplies the suction. I'll show you how to build the device and then use it to create a tiki mask that also makes a great Jell-O mold.

I want to make this machine but I need to make a two part mold. I don't need to cast them as one, I actually need my cast to be in two pieces so I can add eyes, it's a doll, I can't seem to wrap my brain around how to do that, I just know somehow it can be done. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I can sink one half of the mold in play dough to hold it and use this process. Problem is how do I get the air to go only around half of the model when I have the other half imbedded in play dough.

News Verizon is Listening
posted by October 16 at 7:50 AMon
The Washington Post reports that Verizon turned over phone and internet records to the federal authorities in 720 instances where the government did not provide a court order.
The information came to light in a letter Verizion sent to Congressional Democrats this week. The Democrats are investigating the extent of the Bush Administration's surveillance program.
The letter also revealed that the Feds tried to get much more:
Verizon also disclosed that the FBI, using administrative subpoenas, sought information identifying not just a person making a call, but all the people that customer called, as well as the people those people called. Verizon does not keep data on this "two-generation community of interest" for customers, but the request highlights the broad reach of the government's quest for data.
It's a little annoying that the Post article doesn't define an "administrative subpoena" more clearly or even explain how one is obtained, but the implication seems to be that there's no oversight or check on the government's demands for telecom records.

Five first-rate scenes featuring four new teenage cuties plus the veteran (but little-seen stateside) Tavalia Griffin. Griffin is a cool cookie, but the teens are all nerve endings, intoxicated by the joy of being young and pretty and fucking their hearts out. They yowl, they shriek, their eyes roll back in their heads. The guys keep up with them the best they can.
Good angles and well-lit images. Enough enthusiasm and sheer glee to light up a small town. And lovely young teenage girlflesh as far as the eye can see.
Pre-nom for Best Gonzo Tape (it's on the cusp of gonzo and wall-to-wall, but the interview segments nudge it onto the gonzo side).

I've been using groff to make ps files for printing with the -man flag. If I want to convert anything else such as a header file or just the output from ls -l or other program the line breaks are ignored, producing a mess. How can I get groff to see and respect the line breaks in use in the shell?
This produces an output but the tabs are messed up:
groff -mom hexd.c > out.ps
But this messes with both tabs and line breaks:
cat hexd.c | groff -mom > out.ps
What I would really like is something like this:
man -t gdb | open -f -a preview
Which opens a perfect post script version of the man page in preview on max os.

Judge keeps Yellowstone grizzly on threatened list
BILLINGS, Mont. A judge says the government must keep Yellowstone-area grizzly bears on the list of threatened and endangered species, denying an attempt by federal officials to reverse an earlier court ruling.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service two years ago said grizzlies in and around Yellowstone National Park had recovered from near-extermination and no longer needed protections under the Endangered Species Act.
But in September, U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy said climate change and lax regulations threatened to undermine the bears' recovery. After Molloy ordered the animals back onto the threatened list, government attorneys asked that he reconsider, saying the bear would thrive without sweeping federal protections.
In an order Tuesday, Molloy rejected the government's argument and confirmed his earlier ruling.

Updates NEEDED to keep features for Premi's.
:!: --:!:-- :!:
Um I've got a huge problem that involves your much needed premium members: Internet Explorer 8. I just downloaded it and it does NOT agree with thedollpalace.com. However I can't Un-upgrade it because the old version was messing up the "improved" email site I'm using.
The tabs are acting funny at the top. Like when I mouse over they open a tab away from where I am. And the BIGGEST issue I'm facing (so far) is the dollmaker. Premi's have the option to switch items horizontaly, vertically, at 90' angles and much much more. BUT with Internet Explorer 8 it doesn't let me use the features I'm paying for! The site needs to be updated to match the "new & improved" internet thingy's.
try using mozilla firefox its way more effective than internet explorer 8
Well it's kind of like I said earlier: MSN uses Internet Explorer 8. If I change it for this site then my MSN account won't work anymore. :-| Progress should be made instead of making everyone else change things that will make other more updated sites suffer.
That is odd because I have msn and mozilla firefox and it works completely fine. you can have both mozilla for tdp and internet explorer for msn which is what I have and it works fine.
Have you tried updated or changing your settings yet? I had to mail support on MSN because it wouldn't let me change anything. They told me it was because I had the old version of Internet Explorer. I never had any problems until I tried to change settings. But anyways, I have the email right now that says that the new Internet Explorer 8 is what is supposed to be used to get the full features. I can forward it to you if you don't believe me.
Same here; I had problems with IE7 sometimes not accepting png images so I downloaded Firefox as a backup browser. I find that the png problem is, I think, sorted; I usually use Firefox for Gaia tho and IE7 for TDP. Just have two browsers open at the same time; that's what I do and I can certainly still use MSN. You don't need to uninstall IE to be able to download Firefox. :)
I use both Firefox and IE7; I'm going to beg my mom to leave IE alone if that's what it does. O.o For me on IE7 my pictures work fine (except for the ones that get scrambled by the ever annoying parental block. -.- Some of the animations on here don't even work properly on my comp.), but Youtube doesn't; therefore, Firefox! Whatever doesn't work with IE I use on Firefox, and vice versa. ^^
OMG!!! I downloaded the stinking firefox thing and it's so so slow and sometimes it doesn't even load things.not to mention it keeps having fights with IE8.
So I stand behind what I said earlier: progress should be made for progress's sake especially when it comes to paying customers :-| .
man that truly does suck then. I have IE7. Sorry I thought it would help:(:(
It shouldn\'t be conflicting with Firefox; however, I will say that if you\'re using both to use TDP at the same time then you\'re definitely doing something wrong there. You use either one or the other, NEVER both at the same time.

Roasted Balsamic Vegetables With Penne
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 25 mins
An extremely easy and healthy vegetarian dinner or side dish. I discovered this recipe in Shape magazine. I made just a few changes considering I couldn't find all the ingredients needed from the original recipe at my local grocery store. Needless to say, it turned out to be delicious!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
- 1 1⁄2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 eggplant, cut into bite-size (about 1 cup)
- 1 medium yellow onion, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
- 1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slivers
- 4 teaspoons dried basil, divided
- 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, divided
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 8 ounces penne pasta (I used homemade fettucini noodles, but any pasta will work)
- 2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
- 4 tablespoons reduced-fat feta cheese
- Preheat oven to 500ºF.
- In a medium bowl, add zucchini, tomatoes, eggplant, onion, bell pepper, 2 teaspoons basil, 2 tablespoons vinegar, oil, salt, pepper, and toss.
- Place in a single layer on a large cookie sheet lined with foil and bake 15 to 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender when pierced with a knife and just beginning to brown.
- Cook pasta. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
- Add sour cream, vegetables, 2 teaspoons basil, 2 tablespoons vinegar, and toss to combine.
- Crumble feta cheese over the top.
Most Helpful
Very tasty and not time-consuming to prepare. We enjoyed it, and so did our dog (who ate the pasta, and then had some of the sauce on her kibble)!
I loved the taste of the sour cream with the roasted vegetables. It reminded me of stroganoff, though not overwhelming. Yum!
Well, I wish I had followed the recipe more as it was written. I halved the recipe and used zucchini, 1 large tomato, 1/2 a red pepper and 1 clove of garlic. I was out of onion and did not have an eggplant or other good roasting veggies on hand. I tossed this with spaghetti and added a touch more balsamic at the end, because it seemed a bit on the bland side. Unfortunately, I was out of feta cheese as well, so I tossed with 1 extra Tbsp of sour cream and added some cubed mozzarella. It was very tasty, but it would've been a knockout with the feta. An extra star for being so healthy. Thanks!

Product Description
From Library Journal
Avins, a cellist and musicologist at Drew University, has filled a conspicuous lacuna in Brahms scholarship, as no general collection of Brahms's letters had ever before been translated into English. Avins, who completed the editing of this massive tome in time for the centennial of Brahms's death, acknowledges at the outset that the composer was a reluctant letter-writer. Among the 564 letters in this volume, one will not find passages of great literary beauty, nor are there profound exegeses on the nature of aesthetics. Letters, for Brahms, were for the most part utilitarian, and he destroyed many that he considered too personal and revealing. Nonetheless, his distinctive personality shines forth in each one?gruff and impatient (with violinist Joachim and his publisher Simrock), gracious and humble (with Clara Schumann), good-natured and jovial (again to Joachim, now in a better mood). Avins has arranged the letters into eight chronological sections, and her prefaces to each, in addition to her extensive footnotes and commentary, help to provide the needed context. In the process, certain durable legends about Brahms?the shy teen playing piano in the brothels of Hamburg, for example?are neatly debunked. This is a work that will thrill Brahms fans and provide much pleasure for those entertained by the personal correspondence of great artists. Recommended for general and academic libraries.?Larry A. Lipkis, Moravian Coll., Bethlehem, Pa.
Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.
`without Avins' judicious commentary, this book would not cohere. Her translations on the whole feel admirably authentic.' Michael Church, Financial Times (weekend)
`Rich in detail, bringing this reputedly dour man vividly to life, this is a useful addition to the bookshelves' Christopher Morley, Birmingham Post
`Avins has not only made good a glaring omission in Brahms studies - this is the first extensive selection of the letters in English - she has also transcended her narrower academic remit to create a virtual biography by stealth ... Invaluable reference tool that this is, Avins has conjured up something rather better. The book is not cheap but it is contains some rare photographs and is notably well produced.' David Gutman, Classic CD
`a rich compilation of Brahms correspondence ... she supplies fascinating illustrations, a helpful chronological table and other tools' International Herald Tribune
`Occasionally a book comes along which changes perceptions of its subject. This is such a book. Her annotations are not only scholarly but often witty and always full of common sense. The translation is lively, if once or twice unconvincingly slangy of today. Wherever you read in these 858 pages, you will feel you are in Brahms's world and that he is speaking to you.' Michael Kennedy, The Sunday Telegraph
`Until I read this long, richly informative book - the first substantial edition of his letters to be published in English - I never felt much curiosity about Brahms.' David Cairns, The Sunday Times
`contains 550 letters, some of them never published before in any language, many appearing for the first time ... They are annotated in such painstaking detail that the book can be read as a biography ... a book in which this composer has seldom seemed more lovable, more vulnerable, more honourable.' Michael Oliver, Gramophone
`the publication of Johannes Brahms: Life and Letters fills what has for too long been a void in our knowledge ... The selection is chronological and comprehensively annotated, so that the book can be read as a biographical narrative illuminated by Brahms himself. This is one of the most important music books published in recent years.' Fritz Spiegl, The Oldie
`The translators have taken the decision to retain, as far as possible, the idioms and sentence constructions of the originals, and, for those who can't read German, here is an irrestistible opportunity to meet Brahms in person.' rosemary Williamson, Newsletter of the Royal Northern College of Music
`this is the first comprehensive selection to appear in English ... Avins's labours have bestowed an unusual fund of experience. Perhaps no other editor, in any language, has reviewed the entire Brahms correspondence and much of the supporting literature in one intense burst ... delightful and absorbing book. It is going to become an absolutely central work of reference: I expect to be using it for the rest of my life.' Calum MacDonald, BBC Music Magazine, Sept 99
Customer Reviews
Top Customer Reviews
I'm not an english born speaker, so i had some difficulties in understand the meaning of some sentences, more exactly, some modisms, wich are very frecuent in Brahms' speech.
In spite of this, I recommend this book because it's just wonderful.

Local firefighters raised the American Flag to half-staff at the new Tribute Park at sundown on Sunday, September 11, to honor those who died in the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center four years earlier. While the park will not be officially open for another month, approximately 100 local politicians, activists and family members gathered on the looming darkness to raise the flag and honor the dead.

Figure skater Miki Ando has learned her lessons
An argument with her coach was the last thing Miki Ando needed.
Yet there she was, hours before the free skate at last March's World Figure Skating Championships in Los Angeles, in the midst of a volatile discussion with Nikolai Morozov. Ando was in position to medal, if not win outright at worlds, an event she also won in 2007 in her first season under Morozov's guidance.
Between that championship and Los Angeles, Ando did not win another significant event. She didn't even get to defend her world crown in 2008.
And now, a potential meltdown.
"In the free program, I did not do a triple-triple," Ando said, referring to the combination jump that is becoming commonplace in women's skating. "In the morning skate practice I did it, but he said not to do the triple-triple (in the competition) because he knows it's difficult to get and they are going to downgrade it for sure if I miss.
"And I was just worried what the Japanese people would say. I did not feel comfortable with this. I was worried because I am Japanese."
Ando believes the jumps are so ingrained in the culture of the sport in her nation that to not attempt them shows weakness. It is something she's needed to overcome because, as Morozov explains, "there's a time to do certain things and a time not to."
Morozov, who helped Shizuka Arakawa win the gold medal at the 2006 Turin Games for Japan's first Olympic figure skating victory, has stressed to Ando the importance of being natural on the ice. It took Arakawa years to overcome that fear of letting down her country, and here was Ando experiencing the same feelings in Los Angeles.
"I go to Nikolai and I say, 'I am worried if I don't do the triple-triple what the people will say," Ando recalled, smiling uncomfortably. "And he is getting so mad."
Angry enough that Morozov asked Ando if she no longer trusted the way he was training her, or if she had second thoughts about moving to Ice House in Hackensack, N.J., to work with him. Then he told her if she had such doubts, he would not attend the free skate that afternoon and their coach-skater partnership would be over.
"You have to understand that figure skating is not only jumps, it is how you are skating and feeling and how you want to show people how you are," he told Ando.
How she was at that point was confused, a little scared even. Ando had experienced enough career ups and downs to fill an entire free skate routine. The last thing she needed at that point was a major upheaval.
Instead, she had something of an epiphany.
"Then I finally understand what in figure skating the audience wants," she said, this time with a radiant smile. "Because in Japan, they kind of like jumping, and if I did a quad or a triple-triple, they will say, 'She is going to win, she is going to get a medal.' It is that culture because we don't have any history in Japan in figure skating.
"So I just finally understand before the worlds long program what he means. I went to Nikolai and said: 'I will trust you, I will not do the triple-triple.'
"So I kind of had my self-confidence and I trusted Nikolai and I was very much enjoying my competition and I got the bronze medal. I felt like it was one package in the competition for the first time in my life."
The 22-year-old Ando has done a sensational job building off that bronze performance behind South Korea's Kim Yu-na and Canada's Joannie Rochette.
Ando won Cup of Russia and NHK Trophy during the Grand Prix series and was second to Kim at the circuit's final in Tokyo to wrap up one of Japan's three Olympic berths. Once known primarily for -- yep -- her jumps, including the first and only quad completed by a woman in competition (2002 Junior Grand Prix final), she now is among the most fluid and engaging skaters around.
Ando is surging as she competes at the Japanese nationals this weekend. Mao Asada, her friendly rival who also is from Nagoya, has struggled since winning worlds in 2008 and is considered a long shot to challenge the marvelous Kim at February's Vancouver Games.
At the Turin Games, Ando barely could stand and finished 15th. That led to criticism she didn't belong on a Japanese team that left behind several other quality skaters.
Instead, Ando, finds inspiration from those Olympics and the mesmerizing performance by Arakawa.
"Shizuka actually gave me the dream to go into the Olympics," Ando said. "After the (1998) Nagano Olympics, my dream is I am going to meet her and take a picture and I want to skate like her and go to the Olympics. She was 13th place, but she was like something shining. For me, it was a woman from the same country and I didn't know then that the top skaters were not in Japan. She was my idol.
"I was so happy for her (at Turin). I was watching her from upstairs with the audience, and I was crying because I know her. I went to summer camp when I just started skating and I just did double jumps. She did triple-triples, of course. So I know her for a long time and I know her skating and I was training with her when she won worlds in 2004. I feel like she's a sister for me.
"That's why I wanted to go to Vancouver, because I saw her at Torino and I was thinking to quit skating after Torino. But she gave me the dream once more."

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

Established in 1975, Crosspool Juniors Football Club (CJFC) has been promoting football across all junior age groups for the past 40 years. It is a well-respected community based club involved in both boys and girls football in the west of Sheffield. We currently have over 250 players registered; with 16 boys teams from the age of 7 through to under 18 and 4 recently launched girls teams from under 9 through to under 12. All age groups have managers and coaches who are volunteers, so some 30+ members of the community are involved in facilitating the operation of the club plus a large number of engaged parents.
We currently hold the FA Charter Standard status and are applying for Charter Development Club status to put us amongst the best in the country in terms of grassroots football (roughly 600 clubs have this status nationally). In order to have a clear collective view of how to take the Club forward and to truly develop our players it is important we have a stated vision and philosophy which all players, parents, coaches and managers are not only aware of but strive to achieve.
Football is a great game and should be enjoyed by players and spectators alike! By working together as a team in a friendly positive environment, we aim to continually develop and improve, offering the best possible competition to other affiliated football clubs in the Sheffield region.

Who's who in agile teams?
- By Dan Radigan, Technical Account Manager
- On October 30, 2015
Agile teams are structurally different than their waterfall counterparts. Agile teams focus on the team itself, whereas waterfall teams often follow the structure of the organization. As I was learning scrum, one of the questions that kept coming to mind was, "How do development managers and scrum masters share responsibilities in the team?" Let's explore the answer to this question.

I am just learning mongodb-native driver for nodejs.
I connect like this.
var mongo=require("mongodb")
var serv=mongo.Server("localhost", 27017)
var dbase=mongo.Db("MyDatabase", serv)
And that works. But if I try to create a new database connection using the same server I get an error.
var dbase2=mongo.Db("MyDatabase2", serv)
"Error: A Server or ReplSet instance cannot be shared across multiple Db instances"
But it works if a make a new server connection first.
var serv2=mongo.Server("localhost", 27017)
var dbase2=mongo.Db("MyDatabase2", serv2)
So my question is why there are 2 connection functions, one for Server and one for Db, when it seems like they must always be used together?
Why doesn't it go like this.
var dbase=mongo.Db("localhost", 27017, "MyDatabase")
I want to make my own function that does this, but I wonder if there is some other reason they are separate.

1202782Hey, did you guys hear about this awesome new product called HeadOn? You rub it on your forehead and it totally makes your headache go away. I don't know how it works, it's like magic or something, but I know this guy who had all these migraines and then, like, poof, gone, you know? It's really cool, and aren't their ads so, so, so, funny, too? Anyway, I would totally buy some if I were you.
(Side note to PayPerPost Inc: Can I have my $12 now?)
Confused, dear reader? You won't be if you read this highly entertaining piece in the Los Angeles Times about bloggers who get paid to shill. "Thousands of bloggers are writing sponsored posts touting such diverse topics as diamonds, digital cameras and drug clinics," notes Josh Friedman. "The bloggers are spurred by new marketing middlemen such as PayPerPost Inc. that connect advertisers with mom-and-pop webmasters."
Unsurprisingly, the practice is getting roundly criticized by new media watchdogs.
"PayPerPost versus authentic blogging is like comparing prostitution with making love to someone you care for deeply," Jason McCabe Calacanis told the Times. "No one with any level of ethics would get involved with these clowns."
But blogger Colleen Caldwell, who was paid $12 to build buzz for a movie called "The Ultimate Gift," defends the practice. "People talk about how we're destroying the credibility of the Internet," she said. "Let me tell you — there are a lot worse things happening online." (Seriously, though, Colleen: 12 bucks?)
She also says the paid posts drive traffic, since PayPerPost users link to each other. "That gives her a bigger audience for her unpaid musings on topics including a recent dream about Rainn Wilson, the actor who plays Dwight in NBC's sitcom 'The Office,'" the Times notes.
PayPerPost requires that bloggers disclose their compensation, but how they do so is up to them. Most, the Times says, have a blue disclaimer button on their homepage that readers must click on to find out about the arrangement.
"You put an ad inside the text and it's more of a subtle way of advertising," Tim Draper, a PayPerPost stakeholder, told the Times. "It doesn't take away from the blogger."

#13017 closed Bug (needsinfo)
generic relation generates needless join
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Database layer (models, ORM)
|database joins generic relation
|Triage Stage:
|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:
|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
I have an generic relation, and tries to do some database queries with this relation.
When looking at the generated sql query i saw, that double joins are created. This happens
because generic relations are based on m2m table with a missing database table.
An example for the model:
from django.db import models from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType from django.contrib.contenttypes import generic class GenericTest(models.Model): contentType = models.ForeignKey(ContentType) objectId = models.PositiveIntegerField() contentObject = generic.GenericForeignKey('contentType', 'objectId') class RefTest(models.Model): generic = generic.GenericRelation(GenericTest, content_type_field='contentType', object_id_field='objectId') testdata = models.PositiveIntegerField()
the query:
as sql:
('SELECT U0.`id` FROM `test_generictest` U0 INNER JOIN `test_generictest` U1 ON (U0.`id` = U1.`id`) INNER JOIN `test_reftest` U2 ON (U1.`objectId` = U2.`id`) WHERE U2.`testdata` = %s ', (0,))
With the applied patch, which made the same test, which is done in the direct case, the sql query looks like:
('SELECT U0.`id` FROM `test_generictest` U0 INNER JOIN `test_reftest` U1 ON (U0.`id` = U1.`id`) WHERE U1.`testdata` = %s ', (0,))
For simple databases and simple sql queries, this extra join is no problem, but with complex ones, its a huge performance lack.

There was another mistake in the patch, using the wrong database field with generic relations.
I am sad, that this patch won't be in 1.2, because it saves us a lot of time and ram used the database. Without it we would need a bigger server for database requests.

Dwain Chambers
Sprinter Dwain Chambers has been named in Britain's squad for next month's World Indoor Championships after UK Athletics said they had no choice but to pick him. Do you think he should have been included?Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
A Yahoo! User Jun 1, 2008 19:36 Flag
Yes of course he should. Everyones at it but only some get caught. Anyone with a right mind will know that a man can't run under 10 seconds without doping. Nature won't allow it. You cannot train hard enough to get that fast because you cannot recover fast enough.
What the people who are backing Chambers seem to forget is that his body will still retain much of the musculature that he illegally added whil taking drugs, which in effect still gives him an advaentage over "clean" athletes. I also consider Pound's remarks about Chambers lifetime ban from the Olympics by the BOA as not legal as anything but helpful.It sends out entirely the ,wrong signals to other countries that we are including a drug cheat in our team and one who seems to believe that now the ban is completed that we should all get behind him and congratulate him on his comeback.!

you're wrong..your body will loose every effect of
steroids in less than 12 months
Hi, I think we should all get behind dwain. there is a site -
http://www.dwainchambers.co.uk/ - where you can post a message of support.
Pure unadulterated hypocrisy..Carl myerscough.. Linford Christie, both received bans for taking banned substances. both welcomed back into the bosom of UK athletics.
- 1 Reply to wasp
I totally agree its not a drugs issue its a political one with UKA this is unfortunately the way athletics works it doesn't seem to be how good you are but who you know!! Im a coach i see this happen all to much unfortunately im not in a position to change these things you say a word and get sacked an yes this has happened to me also. What can we say we live in a wonderful world don't we.
So ex-cons are allowed an opportunity to resume their lives and get back into work after serving time (with support from the government for that matter) yet a sprinter who is ill advised into taking performance enhancing substances is not? Dwain Chambers did wrong, was punished, and now wants to get back into work plain and simple. People should stop being bitter and twisted and let it go. He should be allowed to compete just like Carl Myerscough. A man cann't be punished for the rest of his life coz of 1 silly mistake. No one is imune to bad decisions. Let it go.
no surprise to see linford the covicted drug cheat(but i was semi retired)ignore questions on chambers future.sorry but i stopped showing much interest in the sport years ago to concentrate on f1 and even those guys are doping one way or another, there are no drug free winners, there is too much money on offer, if golfers are doping up dont try telling me that sprinters are clean,
Temple the Boyracer Temple the Boyracer Feb 14, 2008 20:27 Flag
Yes, He's done the time for his crime. Think its time people stopped being so narrow minded and singling him out for it becuase this is victimisation by the masses. We have rules in place so that if people break them, they get punished and then they can come back. This is an example of this.
If its anyone people should be having a go at it the rulemakers.
All this fuss about Dwain Chambers running for Britian again after his 2 year ban. He should be allowed to run for GB. He is the only realistic chane of winning a medal. He has served his time now it time to support him. On another point what is the difference between him and Shane Warne banned for 9 months or so for drug taking but was allowed to compete again and smash records and was instrumental in winning the Ashes back. I don't see anyone on here complaining about that. It is just sour grapes by the UK Board and hasbeen athletes.

Chambers deserves all the flack coming his way.He knowingly cheated and was found out.Now he is shouting from the roof-tops that he is clean.Yeh.He had better think of a different career as all the European promoters have said they will not invite him to any of their meetings.
The UK Athletics selection committee have acted in accordance with its rules and paremeters in which it operates in selecting Dwain Chambers.
Some might consider this a couragous move by them in this regard. However for couragous you could also read foolish. Dwain Chambers' appearance at the UK Indoor Championships was embarrasing for UK Athletics, and by him winning the event, albeit fair and square, actually made their emabarassment more acute. Personally therefore, I feel they were backed into corner and had no option but to select him.
To have left him out would have meant a potentially ugly legal battle, a battle which from an outside perspective, Dwain Chambers seemed to hold all the trump cards. Yes, he had been guilty of cheating, for which he has served out the maximum ban currently enforceable, during which time he presumably "cleaned" himself up, kept himself fit, in the knowledge that he would be able, under the current rules to participate in events as soon as his ban ended.
It appears however, that during this rehabilitation period he was not subjected to any random testing, though I stand to be corrected on this point. If this is the case then UK Athletics has caused itself more embarrasment.
Dwain Chambers will always live (and compete) with the stigma of being a drugs cheat, that is something only he can deal with, however the irony is that by competing and being successful, he will have proved that the highest accolades in sport can and have been achieved "cleanly", and in so doing become a role model for those tempted by more dubious means.

Do you not think there is hypocrisy in society? Known drug users like pop stars and actors/actresses are still allowed to work and make money without ever having any sort of ban like Dwaine has. Have the radio stations suddenly stopped playing Amy Winehouse records? No, and she has been celebrating success at many award ceremonies. Ok Dwaine cheated and got caught but he has served his time and now is being succesful as a clean athlete - he should be supported for having the courage to come back and compete as a clean athlete when we all know he will be running against many athletes who take performance enhancing drugs - they obviously are just better at not getting caught.
A Yahoo! User Feb 13, 2008 20:09 Flag
I think he should be allowed to represent his country & people should get off his back.Yes he took drugs & he's done his time for this a ban for 2yrs! He isn't the 1st athlete to take drugs & wont be the last. He made a mistake he did wrong we are ALL capable of that. Everyone deserves a second chance we are only human none of us are perfect!!

Last fall, several companies in the newly emerging embedded Linux market approached me to request that I help create a vendor-neutral Embedded Linux trade association. Initially, I used the resources of my newly established Embedded Linux Portal web site (http://www.LinuxDevices.com/) to propose the establishment of a group called the "Embedded Linux Consortium" (ELC). The idea for the ELC rapidly picked up momentum.
Next, I scheduled an ELC organizational meeting to be held at the Chicago Embedded Systems Conference in March. The purpose would be to create a formation committee to fund the ELC and share responsibility for it until it was incorporated and a proper Board of Directors was elected.
March 1 came, and the ELC organizational meeting drew an overflow crowd—nearly double the expected turnout. We could instantly see that the ELC is destined to be a major force in the embedded market. During the first hour of the meeting, more than $100,000 was pledged to initially fund the organization. Also, Lineo donated the domain name, embedded-linux.org.
A week later, the birth of the ELC was broadcast via a press release that received extensive worldwide coverage (read it at http://www.embedded-linux.org/). The announcement lists the Formation Committee members, summarizes the organization's goals and includes this supporting statement from Linus: "This new Embedded Linux Consortium is an expression of the current explosion of interest in using Linux in thousands of specialized embedded, mobile and appliance applications. The ELC provides a valuable resource in advancing the growing use of Linux in embedded applications, an area where Linux can provide enormous benefit."
Although official Vision and Mission statements will be established by the soon-to-be-elected Board of Directors, I indicated my thoughts on the subject in an "ELC Manifesto" posted at LinuxDevices.com and distributed at the ELC organizational meeting:
Suggested vision: the Embedded Linux Consortium (ELC) will be a nonprofit, vendor-neutral trade association whose goal is the advancement and promotion of Embedded Linux throughout the embedded, appliance and applied computing markets. Members will contribute membership dues and efforts in return for a growing market opportunity for all.
Suggested mission: to make Linux the number-one operating system of choice for developers designing embedded systems.
In short, by creating and supporting the Embedded Linux Consortium, we will maximize the depth and breadth of penetration of Linux within the enormous—and enormously diverse—embedded market.
We currently plan to have three membership categories: Corporate Executive Member ($5,000 per year), Corporate Affiliate Member ($1,000 per year) and Individual Member ($150 per year). Recognizing there are many individuals who contribute to the open-source code base which is the basis of Linux itself, I've also proposed that the $150 annual membership fee for Individual Members be waived in the case of individuals who have contributed significantly to the open-source code base.
The ELC's activities are likely to be along two main threads: technical and promotional. It's likely (although not required) that the Individual Members will be focused mostly on technical activities, whereas promotional and marketing activities will probably be more of a concern of the Corporate Members and, appropriately, funded primarily by them.
On the promotional side, I expect we'll have a marketing task force concerned with evangelizing embedded Linux. Most likely, there will be a web site, PR, trade shows, collateral materials and membership growth.
The technical role of the ELC is less clear than the evangelical role, in light of the enormous success the existing open-source development process has had in bringing Linux (and its related technologies) to where they are today. Nonetheless, it is certainly possible that technical committees or special interest groups will coalesce around issues of interest to multiple ELC members. Whether these translate into standards activity remains to be seen. In any case, the existing Linux and open-source development process must be supported, not circumvented or undermined.

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Louisville started slow but ended up rallying to beat Memphis 87-78. The game was built up all week to be less of the rivalry game that Louisville fans remembered and more of a "friendly" rivalry. Well you could tell from the start that wasnt the case, it got very physical, very quickly. To put it in perspective, how many times can you say that every 5 minutes there someone was on the floor hurt or limping to the bench. Russ Smith suffered an ankle sprain, Montrezl Harrell and Chane Behanan were both seen shaken up, Stephen Van Tresse was banged up also. Russ Smith went down after landing on a Memphis players foot, following through on a shot. He was unable to put any weight through the foot while walking back to the bench. They taped him up and took him into the tunnel to test it out. When he came back out, you could tell he wasn't healthy. He couldnt make a move to get past anybody and he could not elevate. Then halftime happened and Russ Smith seemingly came out like the Russ Smith we are used to seeing. He did not play as much but when he was in the game he brought the energy we we needed. Smith ended with close to his season average with 19 points. Smith picked up a lot of his points late in the game when Memphis was playing the foul game, he was 12-12 from the free throw line. Chane Behanan led the team in scoring with 22 points and looked like the player we saw in March last year. His ability to will his way to the basket when on the block took over and led him to his best game of the young season. Peyton Siva stuffed the stat sheet with 19 Pts, 4 Reb, 7 Ast, and 1 Blk. At one point in the first half Memphis was up 25-9 and completly out hustling Louisville. Peyton Siva came down on 3 straight possessions and attacked the basket, sparking a fire that was much needed. Louisville went on a run after that to cut the lead to only 7 at half. This improved Louisville to 9-1 on the season. The next game will be a home game against Florida International on Wednesday. Other notable stat lines: Wayne Blackshear: 8 Pts, 2 Rbs, 2 Ast, 1 Blk Luke Hancock: 11 Pts, 3 Rbs, 1 Ast, 3 Stl Montrezl Harrel: 3 Pts, 6 Rbs, 2 Stls (31 mins)

I believe there are music files in my iTunes folder that aren't in my library. How can I remove these files?
Well, you can manually do it by exporting the list of music in your library by right clicking the Music in the top left frame and selecting "Export." Then you could compare this to what is inside of your iTunes folder.
This seemed kind of tedious and figured someone out there had already come up with an easier method:
The above script looks promising. As usual, you should back up your files before doing either of the above just in case!
Good luck.
Assuming OS X, although instructions should be very similar for Windows. Open iTunes -> Preferences -> Advanced. Click Change… beside iTunes Media folder location. Select a new location. Click OK.
Then head to File -> Library -> Organize Library…. Click Consolidate files. This will copy all files in your iTunes library to your new location, and will not copy files that are not in your library. Once the copy is completed, delete your old iTunes Media folder. If you like, you can repeat the process to consolidate files back to your original location.
Not perfect, but I would try the following..
An alternative may involve making use of the iTunes preferences for keeping your music folder organized - maybe if you move where iTunes stores its music in your settings, it'll move just the files you're using?

"There isn't a physical prototype that preceded (Courtney). You have to look at the men's game and talk about comparisons to Shaq, how his frame and his ability transcended the game as we know it. She has the potential to have that kind of impact."
"He's gotten stronger since the end of last year. He's a little ahead of the game in comparison to where he was at this point at this same time last year."
"You look at his game from when he was a rookie to now and there's no comparison. He can flat-out score. In the post, on the perimeter he can score. Now he's getting the mid-range game going."

Produce merchandisers are likely to be wishing for a holiday present this year -- fresh cranberry supplies that last well past Thanksgiving to cover the Christmas rush as well. In the first week of November, retailers contacted by SN were sounding cautiously optimistic that, this year, such a wish might just come true. Jim Corby, director of produce merchandising for Abco Foods in Phoenix, told SN he thinks his supplies of the holiday fruit will be sufficient. "At this point, the supplies ...

Segment 1) Edge chooses Title Match at WM26
A decision most people could see coming a mile away - Edge chooses Jericho as his opponent at Mania - signed and sealed with a custom made spear. This segment could have been better. I felt it was somewhat rushed. Expect this decision to have more time and exposure on Smackdown!, which is to be expected really.
Not a bad opening segment, not great either. 2.5/5
Segment 2) Cena/Vince
Very clever what the WWE did with the WWE Title at EC. I liked this angle, however I feel Cena could've been a bit more serious. We all knew what we were going to get as a main event the second it was announced though. Whats up with having 2 promos in a row? Strange.
Segment 3) Kim vs Maryse, Divas Title
A full month after the match was decided, it happens. Proof that the divas mean sweet f*ck all to WWE. Poor match. Bit sloppy in places. Could've been so much more if the divas didnt already know that no matter how good a match they put on, they won't get more exposure.
Segment 4) Kofi, Bourne & Tatsu vs Legacy
Not a bad match at all. Given a good amount of time. I felt if the live crowd had been more responsive in general then the whole show would have been better and this match would have been amazing. Great way to further the Legacy breakup. Give the WWE props, when they want to, they can create a fascinating storyline.
Segment 5) HBK/ Undertaker Promo
First of all, that was a phenomenal vignette hyping HBK & Taker, props to the WWE. Anyone else notice the burns on Takers neck and the yellow discolouration on his face, thank God he came out of EC alive! Again, with a better crowd, this segment would have been better. A nice twist with the added stipulation. Too hard to call who'll win as this one could go either way, even more so than last year.
Good Segment 3.5/5
Segment 6) Christian vs Carlito
Not a bad match but it was missing something. Everybody knew who was going to win. Chances are your looking at the next holder of MITB
Segment 7) Buckaroo Bullshit!
Another monumental waste of time on Raw. A completely idiotic idea. Whoever thought it up should be suspended. These celebrity hosts who have no connection with wrestling are killing the product. Drag WWE Legends out of retirement to host Raw if you cant get A-list celebs. Seriously, why tout Raw being broadcast in 20+ countries if the only people who knew who these clowns last night were Americans!
Completely crap- a boring segment that would drive many a hardcore fan into an early grave 0/5
Segment 8) MVP and WSM vs Showmiz
Again, this thrown together team has no chemistry. I dont even think the fans buy into it. Wasnt the worst of matches but kill this poor team and push MVP to the top.
Segment 9) Hart update, Vinnies Two Cents
Nothing unexpected here. Hart back for a final farewell for the third time since he returned in January. Expect an altercation between Bret and VKM next wek. My guess is Brets leg is perfectly fine and Bret wanted VKM to think it was hurt.
Segment 10) Batista beats down Cena
I'm kind of getting tired of angles as a main event. However, this was a really good angle which proved why Batista is called the Animal. Good old fashioned brutality- the best way to get your point across in Wrestling. All it needed was some bloodshed.
Final Thoughts
I think this show was more to set up WM than anything else. Whole show seemed rushed and unplanned except for Taker/HBK and Batista/Cena/VKM segments. Poor corny 'comedy' as usual.
Final Rating: 2.5/5

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour, dans ce charmant appartement, aprés un accueil chaleureux. Karine nous a reçues, informées et guidées
Nous recommandons vivement cet hébergement et souhaitons au futurs locataires de passer un aussi bon séjour que nous mêmes
Un superbe appartement très bien situé, très bien équipé et des hôtes charmants, très réactifs et désireux de nous faire passer un bon séjour.
Nous avons passé une très bonne semaine.
Prachtig appartement. Ruim voldoende ingericht. Prachtig terras. Goed te bereiken via het openbaar vervoer. Gastvrije ontvangst met plezierige uitleg. Kortom een echte aanrader. Wij kunnen dit iedereen aanbevelen
superbe appatrement, un accueil super et un hôte très sympathique et disponible! merci encore :)
Es ist ein sehr nettes Appartment um Rom unkompliziert zu erkunden.
Der Zug fährt ca. 5 Min vom Appartment ab.
War schön.
Ein Appartement mit wunderbarer Terasse an einem Berghang am Nordrand vom Autobahnring von Rom, vo der man die Blicke über Gebirge, Rom und ein beeindruckendes Verkehrsleitsystem gleiten lassen kann. Die Unterkunft ist hell und kontrastreich möbliert, sauber und praktisch (nur Streichhölzer hatten gefehlt, obwohl die Gasherdpiezzozünder nicht funktionierten). Amdea und sein helfender Mitarbeiter sind freundlich und hilfsbereit sowie offen.
Leider muss man bei geschlossenen Fenstern und laufender Aircondition schlafen,weil die vierspurige kommunale Strasse, die staatliche , vierspurige Autobahn und die sechsspurige Autostrada sowie eine Bahnlinie direkt vor dem Haus liegen. Die Lärmisolierung aber ist beinahe vollständig, sodass man nichts hört bei geschlossenen Fenstern. Akzeptiert man das und man nicht direkt im Zentrum wohnen will, ist das Appartement ein flairreiches und perfektes Erlebnis.
It was a little apartement but had enough place for 4 persons. It was clean and good air-conditioned. The location was good, it was near the subway. I can recommend it.
This apartment was as described - no surprises which was great. It was very large, well furnished and well equipped. Its location was absolutely superb - walking distance to Vatican, Forum, and Piazza Barberini assuming you are willing to walk through Rome. AC worked very well - which was essential.
We gave this 5* - but if you have planned to host a family and cook for yourself it might be a problem (see below).
Other positives
The hosts were REALLY excellent in replying to my questions - this was our first Wimdu booking and we needed a little advice.
The sound insulation is very good - outside is a busy street but then it is not far to some good restaurants! and the noise was negligible inside.
The apartment was clean on arrival as you would expect.
The electricity went off a few times - trivial to fix if you are told where the power board is so ask!
I am not sure you could cook - the power went off when the dish washer was used, and when the cooker was set to hot on one pan. I am not sure what would have happened if we had tried to cook but this did not worry us as we did not cook :)
There was no working kettle - we asked at checkin but this was not provided.
The apartment is on the 2nd floor - so ~60 steps. Not a problem for us, but be thoughtful if you struggle with stairs.
May sure you ask what flat number it is so you can ring the bell on arrival - we did not know so it was hard to tell the house keeper we had arrived.
Overall though - this apartment is very good, highly recommended and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
The apartment has a really nice view over the river, under the balkony is a busy road which is not disturbing. The apartment was nice and clean when we arrived, everything we asked for was arranged. We arrived at 9 pm which wasnt any problem.
The guy who gave us the key was flexible and always available on the telephone. We could even book 2 more days because we missed our flight, and at 10 pm saturday evening he was still available to give us the keys again.
In short; defenitly value for the money.
The apartment has a beautiful view. It's size is comfortable. The location is quite far from Rome, but it's okay. About every half hour a metro stops and it's a 5-10 minute walk to the metro and a it takes you to piazza popolo in 15-20 minutes. There is one charming restaurant nearby (mama's pizza) which is good and cheap. There was supposed to be a supermarked but the one we found was not open. The apartment itself was quite dirty. There was dust on the floor and in the bathroom were some dirty spots. There were insects (little spiders) that ate our food, so put your food in the fridge. There was a kitchen but the inventory was not complete (one glass, coffee machine without coffee pot). The airco worked well and so did wifi. Inside was a good temperature and quiet. Outside you can hear the busy road. Alltogether the apartment was not great but it matches the low price.
