I haven't posted for a while, having been out on infant care leave with my wife and new twin boys, and I've taken a new job outside of Microsoft at Computer Aid, Inc.. My new blogsite is: http://www.geekswithblogs.net/sspotts/.

Microsoft was a great place to be, but the time and travel demands I was looking at just didn't balance with the time I wanted to spend with my boys. There were several people at Microsoft that said that the work/life balance wasn't skewed enough towards time with their families, and they gave something up. I wasn't willing to do that.

I'll still be active in the community, especially with the PhillyDotNet and one or two other user groups, but not the 15 or so groups I worked with in the past. Look for a few Code Camp events coming to Philadelphia in the Jan/Feb timeframe :).

We had our third meeting tonight, and had about 9 attendees. Unfortunately for the late cancellations, we had a great session by Michael Webber and Darrin Weber from Air Products who presented their document tracking solution and deployment strategy. Lots of custom adapters, integration with Remedy, and more. Good stuff!

The BizTalk User Group meets on the first Wednesday of each month in the Microsoft Malvern office. Their new support web site is at www.pabtug.com. If you're in the Philadelphia area, and interested in meeting with other BizTalk users, developers, analysts, and managers, be sure to sign up at the web site to get onto the mailing list for meeting announcements.

sspottshttp://blogs.msdn.com/sspotts/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxBig turnout for DotNetNuke SIG in Malvern, PAhttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/sspotts/archive/2005/08/03/447438.aspx2005-08-04T02:23:00Z2005-08-04T02:23:00Z
We had about 50 people attending the DotNetNuke SIG meeting tonight at the Microsoft office in Malvern, PA. There were three talks tonight - one by Bill Wolff, the PhillyDotNet User Group leader, one by Hal Dell, the DotNetNuke SIG leader, and the final talk by Todd Davis, from Seabury Design.

Bills talk was about database tricks: We saw the database structure in DNN 3.x including tables, stored procedures, and views. Sample code that automates page and module creation will be reviewed. This technique can saves lots of time when you have many pages with similar content.

Hal's presentation was on how to develop a Scheduled Task within the DotNetNuke Framework. While DNN tasks are similar in concept to Services; DNN Scheduled Tasks have some limitations were discussed.

Finally, Todd presented on SqlDataProviders. Packing a DotNetNuke module from distribution requires the creation of the 01.00.00.SqlDataProvider file, which installs the tables and stored procedures required by the module. This process requires some careful finesse and fine tweaking to be successful. Todd demonstrated how to create this file by hand, and how to edit it properly so that DotNetNuke can consume it during installation. Afterwards, he showed how to automate the process using ScriptBuilder. Todd, BTW, is very much involved at the DNN training site.

sspottshttp://blogs.msdn.com/sspotts/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxPhiladelphia SQL Server and Philly.NET User Group Special Event - Itzik Ben Gan "Outside the Box" session http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sspotts/archive/2005/07/22/441972.aspx2005-07-22T22:45:00Z2005-07-22T22:45:00Z
The Philadelphia SQL Server User Group, Philly.NET User Group, and Microsoft are delighted to together host a special Philadelphia Development Community event with world renowned SQL Server expert Itzik Ben Gan. This event is free but requires advanced registration.

SQL querying problems, especially the tough ones, have very much in common with pure logical puzzles and brainteasers.

Some SQL problems seem too hard, or impossible to solve; however, by applying pure logic you can often come up with short, efficient set-based queries.

By practicing logical problems that seem unrelated to SQL at first glance, you can improve your "outside the box" thinking, and your ability to solve tough querying problems.

In this session you will be presented with pure logical puzzles and brainteasers that require outside the box thinking, and also tough T-SQL problems that require logical deductions.

Itzik Ben-Gan is a Principal and Founder of Solid Quality Learning. A SQL Server Microsoft MVP (Most Valuable Professional) since 1999, Itzik has delivered dozens of training events across the US and Europe focused on T-SQL Programming, Performance Tuning and Internals, Administration, Implementation, Data Warehousing and OLAP. An accomplished author, Itzik has written many articles for SQL Server Magazine as well as articles and whitepapers for MSDN and co-authored the book Advanced Transact-SQL for SQL Server 2000 (APress). Itzik's speaking activities have spanned more than 6 years including Tech Ed, DevWeek, PASS, SQL Server Connections, and SQLU Summits to name a few.
In the last 10 years Itzik has been involved in many projects covering various database related technologies. From manufacturing systems, through analytical systems, financial, performance and availability tools, SLA/SLM etc. Besides helping customers with their pressing needs, fixing their problems and optimizing their databases, Itzik helped the developers and DBAs in many of the projects shift to relational/set based "thinking", improving both the performance of their code and its maintainability. Itzik's main expertise is T-SQL Programming, Query Tuning and Internals, but he's proficient in other database areas as well. In 1999 Itzik founded the Israeli SQL Server and OLAP Users Group and has been managing it since.

Teaching runs in Itzik's genes - His father teaches mathematics, his sister teaches English and his brother teaches architecture. Itzik himself is a trainer in his heart and soul and has been teaching IT related technologies for 7 years. Itzik has over 16 years of experience in networking, programming in languages such as Pascal, VB, C, C++, along with designing, implementing, administrating and programming with Microsoft SQL Server. Itzik is the primary author for Solid Quality Learning's Advanced T-SQL Programming courseware along with being a primary resource within their T-SQL related activities.

We had a great turnout for the PhillyDotnet User Group tonight, with over 100 members watching some cool ASP.NET presentations.

We started off with a topical presentation on Ajax (Asyncronous Java and XML), also referencing upcoming technology in future ASP.NET implementations called Atlas. This is stuff that's been supported for a while - and we've used it with Outlook Web Access for years - but seems to have been "rediscovered" and is all the vogue now. Don't think I'm deprecating it - this is really cool stuff and gives you a much nicer user experience with web applications. See Dino Esposito's MSDN article from last year for an idea of what this is about.

After some user group business and announcements, the second presentation was given by Miguel Castro, Microsoft MVP and one great speaker. Miguel wowed the group with his presentation about writing custom controls for ASP.NET.

We had a kickoff meeting for the new DotNetNuke SIG at of the PhillyDotNet User Group on Tuesday (6/14) night. Hal Dell presented about the history of DotNetNuke and gave an overview of the software, and Todd Davis showed some real timesavers using CodeSmith to build new modules for DNN.

Bill Wolff, the PhillyDotNet UG leader, spoke about Tech Ed and his meetings with the DotNetNuke Core Team/Board and their work with INETA, and started the meeting with a conference call with Shaun Walker, the Father of DNN for the whole group.

There were about 30 people at the meeting, which was pretty amazing considering that the mailer that was to send out meeting information had a problem and most of the e-mails weren't sent! This was a great starting meeting, and was replete with animated discussions and great demos.

We had 15 people, plus myself and Steve Mohr (the user group leader) attend our first Philadelphia Area BizTalk User Group meeting tonight. We discussed what the format of the group should be, what kind of information everyone is interested in, and how everyone will contribute to the group.

One new member suggested that everyone should, at the next meeting, commit to something he/she will do to support the group - and ask for something that he/she wants from the group. Everyone thought this was a good idea and next month we should see some real ownership of the group by the group.

We'll be meeting on the first Wednesday of each month at 7pm in the Microsoft Malvern office (45 Liberty Blvd, Ste 210, Malvern, PA 19355). Traffic and location was fine for this time of day.

It looks like we'll be initiating a group newsletter with meeting info, tips and tricks, links to docs, webcasts, tools, and other resources, etc. One member "volunteered" to host a web site to support the group, and when that's ready I'll post about its location.

I'll also post when we have the presentation topic for next months meeting, along with registration info.

sspottshttp://blogs.msdn.com/sspotts/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxRefactor! for Visual Basic 2005 Beta 2http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sspotts/archive/2005/04/29/413500.aspx2005-04-29T18:35:00Z2005-04-29T18:35:00Z
This is definitely a great thing for VB.NET developers, and highlights how our strong developer partner community helps to improve the developer experience. Per the download page:

Refactor! for Visual Basic 2005 Beta 2 is a free plug-in from Developer Express Inc., in partnership with Microsoft, that enables Visual Basic developers to simplify and re-structure source code inside of Visual Studio 2005, making it easier to read and less costly to maintain. Refactor! supports more than 15 individual refactoring features, including operations like Reorder Parameters, Extract Method, Encapsulate Field and Create Overload.

Why Developer Express?

At Microsoft we heard your feedback when we announced that refactoring support would be cut from Visual Basic before the 2005 release. This was a difficult choice to make but it was not possible to finish work on refactoring along with the numerous other goals and projects for the 2005 release. Because of this Microsoft choose to partner with Developer Express Inc., a Visual Studio Integration Partner, to ensure that a refactoring tool would be available for Visual Basic developers and would have the features and functionality that we felt would most benefit you.

We feel that Refactor! is a product that integrates very well with Visual Studio and provides an experience that will be intuitive and powerful for Visual Basic users.

For more information about this partnership be sure and read Rob Copeland's blog.

Cadillac unveils new twin-turbo V-6 engine
Cadillac has unveiled a new engine that will be used for the 2014 CTS sedan. The engine is a twin-turbo V-6 producing 420 hp and 430 pound-foot of torque. General Motors says that this is the most power dense six-cylinder engine in the segment producing 118 hp per liter.

If users or my liveblog editor click away from the liveblog, and then come back, any images or links disappear. For instance, if I drag and drop an image and wait for it to upload, the text editor will show:
I hit submit, works fine, images/links show fine. Upon re-entry, all links look like this:

<img src="
So either the image disappears or the clickable text disappears. What could be causing this? Another plugin? Template issue?

Josephine's Pantry.: "Lovely lunches." Top 5 Page for this destination Mandurah Restaurant Tip by Purpleshade
Mandurah Restaurants: 22 reviews and 36 photos
My daughter and I found this little cafe on the mall. Quite unpretentious and cheaper than many.
It serves a variety of sanwiches, toasted sandwiches, foccacias, cakes and pastries.
The outside shaded sitting area overlooking the mall was a pleasant place to sit and recover after looking around the shops. The mall catches the sea breeze on a hot afternoon.
Favorite Dish: We both had delicious toasted foccacias which were of a generous size and served with salad.
Address: Smart Street Mall, Mandurah, WA, 6210
Price Comparison: less expensive than average
Directions: Smart Street Mall joins Mandurah Terrace, the main waterfront area.

Readers all over The Golden Spread knew it was Carmen Cavallero, not, Caballero, knew he was (is?) a piano player, not a crooner. I knew it too, but I forgot.
Thanks for reminding me, Jane Compton, Canyon; and please say hello to the youthful Diana and Elton Cox.
Our first lessons are learned in the home, though homes and lessons vary. Take the Osbournes, for example. I've never heard nor seen them, but they are evidently indifferent about vulgarity, maybe enjoy it. Language lessons likely last.
In our house a vulgar talker might have had his mouth washed out with soap. This penalty, like reform school, aimed at improving the character of the perpetrator. The memory of a soapy mouth was intended to improve character by making the punishment fit the crime. Perhaps it did.
We can't control the speech of others any more than we can control body-piercing, but I believe our parents would have found a way. We hope that good examples are the best teachers. So, we might suggest that, for instance, "onion" be the universal bad-language substitute. Example: Apprentice carpenter hits thumb with hammer, says with passion, "ON-ION!" And so on for all occasions.
Memryquiz: "I wish I could ______ like my sister Kate."
I don't want to bother armed forces, but the explainers should distinguish between "intelligence" and "information." They are not synonyms. And as a general appeal, let's give a rest to "scenario." Furthermore, it is seldom if ever helpful to say, "That being said. . . ."
Dorothy Hamiel claims to be 80 years old. To which news I had to say, "Well, I'll be onioned." "Don't grade me," she adds. I wouldn't. "Did you," she asks, "memorize 'Thanatopsis'?" Yes, the first two lines and the last eight. She also remembers a French song from WWI. She probably hasn't noticed we're piqued at those onion French. Everett Cosgrove, a spry 84, remembers "bib" overalls and knickers, bow ties, touring cars and cheap gas. O the good old days.
A reader suggests we solicit comments on "Soul." Here is a starter. Do felines have souls? WforW stands mute on that question, but we cannot consider felines and leave out canines. Let me know. - Quiz answer: "shimmy"

we'd like to create a section on our wordpress site that would:
1. allow clients to log in
2. store details about how much work they have done for us
3. store details about how much money we owe them for that work
4. allow them to request money

Is there a plugin that can do this?

Podesta: "Van has set a standard that Beck would never impose upon himself"; Beck: "Almost everyone who does believe in global warming is a socialist."
Following Van Jones' resignation Saturday night, Glenn Beck has released a statement vowing to go after "other radicals in the administration."
What could be scarier than the nation's clean energy and climate policy being affected by uber-wingnut Glenn Beck. In a January attack on Obama's energy and environment adviser, Carol Browner, Beck said on his national radio show:
It's just that almost everyone who does believe in global warming is a socialist. I mean, believes in manmade global warming that now can be fixed and reversed or whatever. And we've got the tools to fix it. Almost everybody who says, "I've got a plan to fix it" is a socialist.
Yes, "billions of people will be condemned to poverty and much of civilisation will collapse" — but if you understand the science of human-caused climate change or want to do something to stop it, you're a socialist. Klein was right, Beck and his buddies are "nihilists."
Beck doesn't belong on TV, well, except maybe on a show like "Cops," getting hauled off to jail like any other incoherent babbler.
What follows is a Think Progress repost.
John Podesta, the President and CEO of the Center for American Progress Action Fund, released this statement following the resignation of Van Jones:
Van Jones is an exceptional and inspired leader who has fought to bring economic and environmental justice to communities across our country.
He has chosen to resign because he believed he was serving as a distraction to the president's agenda. I respect that decision.
Van was working to build a common ground agenda for all Americans, and I am confident he will continue that work. Unfortunately, his critics on the right could find no common ground with him.
Clearly, Van was the subject of a right-wing smear campaign shrouded in hypocrisy. Van's chief tormentor Glenn Beck, who spent weeks engaged in vicious name-calling, retains his perch at Fox News after calling the president a racist who has "a deep-seated hatred for white people." Van has set a standard that Beck would never impose upon himself.
I look forward to working with Van to move our country towards a clean energy economy that empowers and lifts up all Americans.
The American people stood up and demanded answers. Instead of providing them, the Administration had Jones resign under cover of darkness. I continue to be amazed by the power of everyday Americans to initiate change in our government through honest questioning, and judging by the other radicals in the administration, I expect that questioning to continue for the foreseeable future.
David Weigel writes that Cass Sunstein is likely to be Beck's next target.

This is Odd: I believe that global warming is very real, but I always thought that my understanding was based on my understanding of chemistry and physics (from Berkeley), my early career background as a chemical engineer, in the oil industry, my reading of compelling scientific reports, my reading of position statements such as those from the American Chemical Society (on their website), my individual discussions with an atmospheric chemist and other scientists, and related things. I also always felt that my view had something to do with the fact that other very intelligent people who have done their homework, such as those here, also understand the problem.
It never occurred to me that my scientific understanding and efforts were irrelevant to my views and that the real reason for my belief in the reality of the problem of global warming has to do with a political-economic ideology that I didn't even know I had?!
Thanks to Glenn Beck, I've learned something new and amazingly surprising about myself?!
And I wonder: How did my scientific and analytic skills become so irrelevant, and how did I make a transition from working in the oil industry, attending Harvard Business School, being a consultant with McKinsey, and being an exec at Disney, to somehow being (in Glenn Beck's view) a "socialist", without even knowing it?
Can someone please post the list of advertisers who have already responsibly dropped Glenn Beck in recent weeks and the list of advertisers that still run on his show? Please. And could someone also post the phone number of the leaders at Fox who we should call to try to talk some sense into them?
Last I heard, doesn't Rupert Murdoch understand that global warming is a real and immense problem, or at least SAY that he does? Please someone, correct me if I'm wrong on that.
Spot the poor planning….
I understand why Mr. Jones felt like he had to do this, but this does seem like a victory for guys like Beck and Pence. They are only going to be energized by this. The tea parties and the 9/12-ers all the more invigorated.
It's funny, though. I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere, the sheer irony that a former drug addict and alcoholic (Beck) should dig up peoples' pasts and deny them the same capacity to change that he obviously affords himself.
Charlie Brooker at the Guardian has done a very funny and wonderfully vicious analysis of Murdoch (Jr), Fox and Beck.
I am not a socialist. I am an engineer, worked in the oil and gas industry for 15 years, and am now working on a green energy start-up. I have spent over a thousand hours reading and studying the science of anthropogenic global warming.
I am disgusted to be smeared by someone like Glenn Beck. Who is he to label me, and attack my beliefs, and attempt to sow distrust of me among my acquaintances and colleagues?
It is time for all of us to stand up, and tell Fox News to stop the demagoguery! This kind of broad based attack on us is uncalled for, and should not be tolerated without responding.
How can we remove Fox News from our cable TV service?
> …doesn't Rupert Murdoch understand that global warming is a real and immense problem, or at least SAY that he does?
He certainly does – but *nothing* supersedes *profit*.
Murdoch Junior is allegedly "making an effort … to win public sympathy through engagement with popular topics like global warming and 'sustainability'" – but read the link I provided above for a caustic look at him. 'Chip off the old block' would seem apposite.
Bringing down Obama and the dem majority is the only goal of Beck and his like. At the same time there is decreasing enthusiasm for the health care reform bill on the left as Obama appears to be too compromising with the right, and apparently Max Baucus wants to give away the store to the drug and insurance companies.
If health care reform is defeated, these guys are gonna smell blood and really go after the climate bill, and the noisy town haller following is acting like a wrestlemania crowd. They sense a win over this uppity and "racist" black president, his "socialist", unionist and "Chicago criminal" advisors, and those slimy democratic politicians in congress. They buy into all the Fox News propaganda and don't want to hear the truth about anything. To them, climate change is just another excuse for more government control over their lives while they had no problem with 8 years of the Wall Street Casino, torture, illegal renditions, surveillance of peace organizations, wiretapping essentially everybody, and sending other families' kids off to fight trumped up oil wars. This demogoguery has infected many of my friends, and I'm really starting to feel like an outsider.
Well, I'm flirting with socialism, I think. I've started to consider socialism in reaction to the Bush Administration, mostly, and watching the transformation of this country from a mostly peaceful democracy to an aggressive Orwellian fascist oligarchy, which seems intent on destroying the biosphere through runaway global warming.
Was Van Jones a socialist?
Probably not. If Glenn Beck is saying it, it's probably nonsense.
What is transforming me into a socialist is watching the disaster capitalists at work.
I don't know much about socialism, frankly. But these sorts of incidents, our war in the Mideast, our elite controlled media, the huge financial and propaganda resources of the elite class in this country, the refusal of our mainstream media to accurately or adequately cover the global warming story, all of it makes me wonder if there isn't a better way to run things.
So, yes, we need to nationalize the coal fired power plants, and transform them into "carbon negative" enhanced efficiency power plants, that burn biomass or biochar fuel, employ a topping cycle to improve their efficiency, and deep inject their CO2. This active remediation of CO2 effort should run in parallel with the current cap and trade and regulatory approaches to CO2 reduction.
It's stuff like this Van Jones / Glenn Beck incident, in which a good, well intentioned man is hounded out of office by a paid propagandist, who then refuses to be satisfied with that and uses the resignation as proof of wrongdoing, that makes me flirt with socialism.
Perhaps this will show Obama what giving in to paid propagandists results in.
Appeasement just results in another round of criticism, of course, and is fed back into the criticism cycle, to try to create a runaway positive feedback orgy of criticism that results in weakening of the target. That's the way it worked for the right with Bill Clinton, and that's the way it is working for their efforts to weaken the Obama administration.
Regarding the coal fired power plants, it turns out that gigawatt sized coal fired power plants may be more dangerous to humanity than thermonuclear weapons.
We don't allow thermonuclear weapons in private hands, why should we allow coal fired power plants to remain in private hands – the same private ownership that has helped create this apparent runaway global warming incident in the first place?
Seize them. Nationalize them. Force their transition to carbon negative biomass/CCS power plants.
And start to turn the corner on this apparent runaway global warming problem.
It's about time the Democrats got serious about debunking the word "socialist" and stopped allowing the right wing in this country to use the word as a club on anyone they disagree with (which is just about anyone with half a brain these days).
From it's inception, America has used so-called "socialism" where it was necessary and appropriate. Communities would get together and build a one-room school house and chip in to hire a teacher and send all their kids to one place to get some learnin'. That was "socialism". Local government has always taxed citizens to provide fire and police services to the community. That is "socialism". The federal government has always had jurisdiction to regulate interstate commerce to deal with smuggling and prevent destructive local transportation tariffs. That's "socialism". American society has always had plenty of elements of "socialism" in its fabric.
This popular ideal that socialism is ALWAYS BAD and the same thing as Nazism or even Soviet Communism is bunk. It's time people started standing up and saying "if supporting legislation that will preserve and protect our children's future is socialism, then I guess that makes me a "socialist" and proud of it."
We have to stop letting the right define all the terms of the debates and set all the talking points. When are the Democrats and President Obama going to go on the offensive?
I'm livid that Glenn Beck is taking credit for Van Jones' resignation and that the administration let him go down without a fight. Exactly who does the President think he's appeasing by giving in to Glenn Beck and the right-wing racists? Beck's audience is not the group Obama should care about; they are not capable of an original thought and should be ignored.
We who worked to get this man elected should demand that he do the right thing and defend those who are standing by him at this critical time. This means Van Jones, John Holdren, Steve Chu and all the others on Glenn Beck's hit list. There is a climate war going on and we must identify the enemy and prepare to fight them and never give in. I'm not joking – this is a war to preserve the planet for the future of our children. It's wrong to be distracted by a lunatic like Beck.
Screw Glenn Beck. And, yeah, I agree with Van – Republicans are a**ho##s.
Bill – socialism fails because it does not reward individual effort. That's not to say that non-regulated capitalism is the answer.
A well regulated free enterprise system, being necessary to the prosperity of all, should be promoted.
We're not going to seize the coal plants. But we should consider buying out the owners in some fashion or another so that we don't have to waste a lot of time and money fighting them.
We could make it financially advantageous to convert their plants from coal to hybrid biomass/solar/natural gas plus coal. Or do a complete switchover to biomass/geothermal if things in their location permit.
A modest long term/permanent feed-in tariff for biomass produced electricity might work to cut out some coal quickly. Make the final price just a little bit better than what they would earn from burning coal.
We could pay some of them to partially mothball their plants as high demand month sources and deep backup resources. We might need them during hot summer months and be able to slid by without them during the lower demand months.
As we bring more renewables to the grid and cut demand through conservation we should make it easy for the coal guys to step back. And the best way to get them to might be to protect their wallets.
Treehugger has also picked up on this sentiment, naturally:
It's shocking how the word "socialism" is so seen bad in the US.
It is time to stop these ultra-right entities from denigrating such a sublime concept. A socialist society means that the more weak and poor are protected by it, and nobody make himself rich out of the wealth of the others, but instead all ake the wealth together and redistribute it according to everyone needs.
Capitalism is quite the opposite: there is a small group of people that make themselves rich using the resources of all the others, that is, workpower and natural resources, and in the last decades, bank loans with astounding interests. It is THEFT in a massive scale. We have had two World Wars for the control of markets and resources that have caused more than 100 MILLION DEATHS.
And please, stop equating socialism with totalitarian regimes like Nazi Germany and Boshevik-Stalinist Russia. These regimes were completely at odds with socialist principles. Instead, they were the worst capitalistic regimes ever: the were STATE CAPITALISM,were the exploiters were united in a single, monopolistic group, the Party and its bureaucracy (very much like a gigantic monopolistic corporation, like in the Robocop movies). They used socialist-like rethoric only to fool their peoples to prevent they from revolting against the sistem.
So , after hearing all this right-wing nonsense, they should get the answer:
You are calling me a socialist?
Maybe for you that is an insult, but for people with a little of intelligence and morality, being a person that fight for the poor and weak people's rights, wealth redistribution and a decent and livable life and environment for all people across the world, that is, a *socialist*, this is actually a compliment, and a very big one.
"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." AE
Duh. I think we are realizing that capitalism is not the answer.
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe." AE
But some of us are slower than others. Especially the ones who have been 'blessed' so far.
Glenn Beck is saying that the overwhelming majority of the world's scientists are socialists.
Beck is just an emotional shouter of whatever he finds on the right wing blogs. If there is no substance and no importance to whatever he's yelling about, then why not put up a fight? Everybody knows that Beck is a screamer and is just about half crazy, but Van falling indicates that there was substance to what Beck was going on about.
Beck would be a minor sideshow without his audience.
Who are they?
Charles Siegel is right: an overwhelming fraction of world scientists are socialists, like:
Albert Einstein
Haldane(Communist Party UK) and Oparin(USSR)
Enrico Fermi
Maybe because intelligent people choose intelligent politic tendences?
Arianna Huffington has an interesting take on this
[quote]Now, thanks to Glenn Beck, we've got that voice back. No longer tied to his desk with a sock in his mouth, Van is now freed to do what he does best: inspire and energize groups around the country. Student groups and labor groups and small business groups and middle class Americans everywhere who are losing jobs and losing homes and losing hope. He's free to push with all his might and insight for the vision tens of millions of Americans tirelessly worked for during the presidential campaign — the vision they voted for in November — but which is now in danger of being drowned in the fetid political swamps of Washington.
If Glenn Beck had any sense at all, he would have done everything in his power to keep Van Jones right where he was.
But he didn't. And for this we should all be grateful.
The Huffington Post story is nonsense.
Appeasement will only result in more attacks.
That's the way it works, when dealing with fascists.
What this incident really proves is that the Obama administration will throw anyone and anything under the bus to get a health care bill passed. They didn't raise a single whimper in defense of Jones, because they couldn't afford another "distraction."
I have said it before and will say it again – Obama will bail on climate change legislation as soon as the Republicans get on TV calling it a job killing energy tax. Mark my words. This Democratic administration has no more backbone that any other of the last 40 years.
How would we defend Van Jones?
If he has nothing to apologize for why did he apologize?
Leland Palmer:
Yeah, I sadly suspect you are right. Arianna is being far too optimistic imo :(

It beat Southland 10-2 on Saturday and Southern Lakes 6-6 (15
sets to 13) yesterday, while Lakes beat Southland 12-0 in
Saturday's early round.
The win against Southland came after Otago won all eight
men's and women's singles, and rested No1 man Janos Manyai,
who had a sore shoulder, in the doubles. Both lower-order
doubles were lost as Carlos Reid and Jong Kyu Kim, and Hanna
English and Jessie Stevenson, went down.
After being humiliated 10-2 by Lakes last season, Otago made
a concerted effort to get the best players to travel, and the
national champion junior girls' team being available made the
team much stronger.
It was able to win all four singles against Lakes, with Sian
English at No1 fighting back from a first-set tiebreak loss
to win in three sets.
The men were expected to struggle more, but the addition of
student Alex Low, who was flown back from Auckland for the
weekend, was pivotal. He beat James Smith 6-2, 6-1 to take
the only point for the men.
Manyai fought long and hard against former professional Perry
Crockett, going down 6-4 in the third set. This, after
strings broke in all his rackets, completed a frustrating
Jong Kyu Kim lost to Chris Bradley in a third-set tiebreak
and Paddy Ou lost to national junior rep Miki Nobuzawa,
leaving Otago up 5-3 with the doubles to play and with a set
in the bank.
The experienced Lakes men's pairs won both doubles, with
former Otago Open titleholder Mark Milburn being brought in
as a specialist.
Hanna English and Stevenson took their match and Sian English
and Georgia Hume had a set against Suma Ito-Shennan and
Hannah Speight but lost the next two in tiebreaks.
However, Otago already had enough sets to ensure the
countback win. Because the points are accumulated over two
weekends, the Lakes fightback ensures an exciting finale when
the second round is held in Dunedin in February.

Hexham Abbey is a leading historical attraction and place of Christian worship dedicated to St Andrew located in the town of Hexham, Northumberland, in northeast England. Originally built in AD 674, the Abbey was built up during the 12th Century into its current form, with additions around the turn of the 20th Century. Since the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1537, the Abbey has been the parish church of Hexham. In 2014 the Abbey regained ownership of its former monastic buildings, and subsequently developed them into a permanent Exhibition and Visitor center, telling the story of the Abbey's history. Onsite there is also a Refectory Cafe and gift shop, catering to over 100,000 visitors each year.
There has been a church on the site for over 1300 years since Etheldreda, Queen of Northumbria made a grant of lands to Wilfrid, Bishop of York c.674. Of Wilfrid's Benedictine abbey, which was constructed almost entirely of material salvaged from nearby Roman ruins, the Saxon crypt still remains; as does a frith stool, a 7th/8th century cathedra or throne.[1] For a little while around that time it was the seat of a bishopric.
In the year 875 Halfdene (Halfdan Ragnarsson) the Dane ravaged the whole of Tyneside and Hexham Church was plundered and burnt to the ground.[2]
About 1050 one Eilaf was put in charge of Hexham, although as treasurer of Durham, he probably never came there. Eilaf was instructed to rebuild Hexham Church which then lay in utter ruin. His son Eilaf II completed the work, probably building in the Norman style.[2]
In Norman times Wilfrid's abbey was replaced by an Augustinian priory. The current church largely dates from c.1170–1250, built in the Early English style of architecture. The choir, north and south transepts and the cloisters, where canons studied and meditated, date from this period.
The east end was rebuilt in 1860. The Abbey was largely rebuilt during the incumbency of Canon Edwin Sidney Savage who came to Hexham in 1898 and remained until 1919. This mammoth project involved re-building the nave, whose walls incorporate some of the earlier church and the restoration of the choir. The nave was re-consecrated on 8 August 1908.
In 1996 an additional chapel was created at the east end of the north choir aisle. Named St Wilfrid's Chapel, it offers a place for prayer or quiet reflection.
Stained glass[edit]
Four of the stained glass windows in the Abbey are the work of Jersey-born stained glass artist Henry Thomas Bosdet who was commissioned by the Abbey. The east window was the first project and was installed about 1907. Two smaller windows followed and the large west window was installed in 1918.[3]
The crypt is a plain structure of four chambers. Here were exhibited the relics which were a feature of Wilfred's church. It consists of a chapel with an ante-chapel at the west end, two side passages with enlarged vestibules and three stairways. The chapel and ante-chapel are barrel-vaulted. All the stones used are of Roman workmanship and many are carved or with inscriptions.[2] One inscription on a slab, partially erased, is:
Translated it means The Emperor Lucius Septimus Severus Pius Pertinax and his sons the Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antonius Pius Augustus and Publius Geta Caesar the cohorts and detachments made this under the command of ….. The words erased are of great interest. After the Emperor Geta was murdered by his brother Caracalla, an edict was made at Rome ordering that whenever the two names appeared in combination that of Geta was to be erased. This was done, but so poorly that the name can still be read.[2]
Bishopric of Hexham[edit]
The first diocese of Lindisfarne was merged into the Diocese of York in 664. York diocese was then divided in 678 by Theodore of Tarsus, forming a bishopric for the country between the Rivers Aln and Tees, with a seat at Hexham and/or Lindisfarne. This gradually and erratically merged back into the bishopric of Lindisfarne. Eleven bishops of Hexham followed St. Eata, of which six were saints.
No successor was appointed in 821, the condition of the country being too unsettled. A period of disorder followed the Danish devastations, after which Hexham monastery was reconstituted in 1113 as a priory of Austin Canons, which flourished until its dissolution under Henry VIII. Meantime the bishopric had been merged in that of Lindisfarne, which latter see was removed to Chester-le-Street in 883, and thence to Durham in 995.
- Eata, 'bishop of Bernicia', with his seat at Hexham and/or Lindisfarne, died 685, succeeded by John of Beverley (Bede, Ecclesiastical History IV.12)
- Trumbert, 682, as 'bishop of Hexham', at the same time as Trumwine's installation, with Eata continuing as bishop at Lindisfarne
- Cuthbert of Lindisfarne, 685, after Tumbert's din deposition, moving his seat to Lindisfarne to become bishop of Lindisfarne (Bede, IV.28)
- St. John of Beverley (685–705) (Bede, V.2). From then on, the seat was at Hexham, and the bishopric of Lindisfarne continued independently, with Eadberht succeeding Cuthbert
- St. Wilfrid, who, resigning the See of York, died as Bishop of Hexham in 709
- St. Acca, Wilfrid's successor, from 709 (Bede, V.20)
- Frithubeorht 734–766

Notable burials[edit]
In 1865 the Abbey acquired a second-hand organ from Carlisle Cathedral dating from 1804. It was installed in Hexham by Nicholson of Newcastle and opened on 19 October 1865.[4] In 1905 this was rebuilt by Norman and Beard with Sir Frederick Bridge of Westminster Abbey as the consultant.
In 1974 a new instrument by Lawrence Phelps of Pennsylvania was installed. It is a two manual 34-stop mechanical action instrument.[5]

Can someone tell me if there is a plugin or something else I can do to let users vote for each post in which category the post will be placed.
For example: There are 3 categories: Scary, funny, Awesome.
There is a post about a certain attraction and people can vote if they think it is scary, funny or awesome. The post will then be placed in the category which got the most votes.
Thanks in advance

Obama's 2015 State Of The Union Address Peaked At A Grade 10 Level
Last night's State of the Union address by President Barack Obama was tailored around a tenth-grade comprehension level, which is actually higher than his previous speeches.
Last night's State of the Union address by President Barack Obama was tailored around a tenth-grade comprehension level, which is actually higher than his previous speeches.
After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Franklin Roosevelt crafted his rousing "Day of Infamy" speech. Looking at the first draft, you can see the few annotations and edits he made to it, including some vital alterations that made all the difference.
The folks at Vocativ used a Flesch-Kincaid readability test to assess the ease of comprehension of more than 600 presidential speeches, delivered by every Commander in Chief in American history. Notice a pattern?
Jorge Cham of PHD Comics animated this wonderful speech the Apollo 11 commander gave back in 2000. In it, Armstrong proclaims he's proud to be a nerdy engineer, lists engineering's many 20th century accomplishments, and explains why he has hope for the future. It's not just inspiring, it's genuinely comforting.
During the early 1980s, as the Cold War heated up, British officials drafted a stirring speech for Queen Elizabeth in the event of imminent nuclear war. Here's what she would have said to her loyal subjects on the eve of armageddon.
At Wellesley College's 2012 Commencement Ceremony, political scientist and MSNBC television host Melissa Harris-Perry offered the gathered graduates three pieces of invaluable advice. "Be ignorant," she urged them them, "be silent, and be thick."
Remember the time Roland Emmerich saved the planet using an old-timey Macintosh computer virus and a drunk Randy Quaid? In honor of that monumental day, here's a word from President Pullman.

This question already has an answer here:
My various managers have decided that it's too expensive to keep paying for a subscription to the RedHat network for OS updates. Is it possible to switch to Fedora/CentOS or do I need to reinstall the OS to do this properly?
EDIT: Just found this duplicate. Oops.

Hi, I keep getting hundreds of 'spam' comments in my website/blog. Completely irrelevant, some rude, most not but all very annoying. Other than deleting each one is there a way I can get rid of them all.
I have gone into pages and checked 'do not allow comments' and they still appear. I've tried different page layouts and it doesn't make any difference.
