Racial and sexual politics collide in this cult classic that launched Laferrière as one of North America's finest literary provocateurs.
Brilliant and tense, Dany Laferrière's first novel, How to Make Love to a Negro without Getting Tired, is as fresh and relevant today as when it was first published in 1985. With raunchy humor and a working-class intellectualism, Laferrière's narrator wanders the slums of Montreal, has sex with white women, and writes a book to save his life.
With this novel, Laferrière began a series of internationally acclaimed social and political novels about the love of the world, and the world of sex, including Heading South and I Am a Japanese Writer.

Evening all,
Looking for a gig in the community under/with a team. Anybody looking for a pair of hands for a support gig? Or theme development?
Hi all,
I'm interested in exploring the build of these multi-concept themes. Just to be clear, I'm not talking about "multi-purpose" themes like Avada where the design can be interpreted in your own way. I'm talking about these themes that allow you to set-up a few different types of websites – portfolio, blog, photography, magazine, etc – all under the same or similar design.
1. Are there any resources out there on the internets that are worth reading/watching in regards to building these types of themes?
2. Are there any strong negatives, in your opinion, in regards to the way these themes are built?
3. What's the smartest/leanest approach to serving up the different sets of pages/posts depending on the choice made for the type of site the user wants?
Can't be worse than June. Absolutely terrible month, gutting in fact.
Hi all,
I've been with HostGator for about 5 years, but I'd like to try a new host. Who are we all using? What benefits do you experience? Any that are especially good for WordPress installs? Who's got the best admin/dashboard for domain/server management?
MediaTemple was the first I found with a search – but only two sites on their entry plan??
Hi all,
I'm looking to form a small team of 2-3, initially, to build products with me – primarily for ThemeForest. I'm hoping to chat via email/skype and get to know some of you guys who might be interested in making something really special.
Who knows where it could go?
As a new team we would begin a fresh account with a flat hierarchy and build outstanding themes/products together.
Please throw me an email from my profile page
Cheers, Paul
I thought massages were supposed to be relaxing.
Sorry, couldn't help myself!
A staff reply would be brilliant in regards to the earnings summary documents? When we might see them implemented?
Doing my accounts with the information we have at the moment is a touch exhausting.

Dell PowerEdge Ubuntu certifications
I hope you didn't miss the fantastic news that Dell has expanded the PowerEdge servers that are certified for Ubuntu Server Edition. We've also worked with them to port and package OpenManage 6.3 to Ubuntu which is important for anyone who uses this systems management framework.
Expanding the range of certified hardware is an ongoing process and it's worth considering why it's important. When we started Ubuntu Server Edition one of the most significant frustrations for Debian/Ubuntu based sysadmins was hardware compatibility. While a server would "mostly" work there would be small but significant issues that prevented sysadmins being able to depend on them. Consequently, we've worked with the server manufacturers to expand their certifications to cover Ubuntu. By working together we're able to test and validate the whole system, ensuring a higher level of testing.
Using certified Dell hardware with Ubuntu Server means you have the assurance that everything will work together without a hitch. Second, if you do have a hardware issue and contact Dell they won't tell you to remove Ubuntu and put a "certified OS" on the hardware to verify the problem. Finally, if you've purchased Ubuntu Advantage from Canonical it means that we can resolve any technical issue in conjunction with Dell.
Expanding the pool of certified hardware is something that every Ubuntu server user can encourage. The next time you're purchasing a server for use with Ubuntu consider if you can do the following:
a. Buy hardware which is certified
Certifying hardware costs the OEM and Canonical significant amounts of money. So by buying certified hardware you incentivise the OEM to continue certifying Ubuntu. Clearly an OEM will expand the OS support for the operating systems that sell more hardware.
b. Tell your vendor you'll be using Ubuntu
It's common amongst Linux users to buy the hardware without an OS and then to load it themselves. The problem is that the OEM doesn't know the OS you care about: and it's even worse if you buy a server with Windows on it because it's on a special offer.
So it's important to inform your vendor that you'll be using Ubuntu on the systems even if you're buying it bare.
c. Ask your vendor to certify Ubuntu
If you have an account manager and buy servers on a regular basis then ask them to request expanding certification. Every company listens to what the sales people tell them.
Separately, it's worth knowing that if you purchase Ubuntu Advantage and are using it with certified hardware then Canonical can provide a higher level of care as we can work with the OEM if there are any issues over drivers and because we have access to the hardware. You can see everything that's certified from Dell on the Ubuntu certified list.

Disruptive Effects of Open Source
I participated in a panel on the "Disruptive Effects of Open Source" at the Future World Symposium which discussed how OSS is impacting the software world, the degree of that change and the limitations.
The conference was held by the NMI whose charter is to represent and usher the interests of the electronics industry in the UK. It may not be something you think about on a daily basis but the UK has a pretty successful electronics sector with companies like ARM, Freescale, Imagination and others. Now that our political masters have got over their finance kick perhaps they'll focus more attention on encouraging these technology sectors!
Anyway, with a electronics industry audience I was concerned to make my comments interesting and relevant. As became clear from some of the other presentations electronics companies face incredible opportunities where the number of devices and connectivity options between them are proliferating. However, there are also significant challenges as sectors converge with each other, and international competition hots up.
Glyn Moody chaired the discussion and my initial comments were to explain that Open Source is not a business model. Rather, it is a development and licensing model which brings many impacts and there are a variety of permutations for why you might use OSS or build a product using OSS. For example, in some cases organisations collaborate through OSS because there's no value in differentiation, a "shared investment" model: a good example is Web 2.0 companies who collaborate to improve their infrastructure software. Another area is where you want to speed up the velocity of innovation. The value of OSS is that it can create a community of contributors and advocates: a good example is the web browser where Firefox has driven significant direct and spin-off innovation.
I wanted to make sure that the audience was clear that open software is not inimitable with proprietary or mixed solutions. Since I was addressing an audience that might not know Open Source well, and whose livelihoods depend on Intellectual Property (IP) I wanted to make sure that they were clear that OSS values this just as much. Furthermore, that OSS should be a key part of any technology companies strategy as it's a leveller of competition.
We then talked about the various rights and responsibilities that working with OSS confers, the value and opportunities around communities. I sometimes feel that in those circumstances it can all seem too much if you go from the idea of a closed ecosystem immediately to the idea of developers being able to download any piece of code from the Internet and use it. So I focused my comments on the value of vendors acting as mediators between the open-ended nature of Open Source projects and the more controlled world of a procurement policy. I'm certainly not unbiased here, but a vendor can provide lots of value by mediating this world, helping customers to navigate it, providing legal and technical support – along with the protections and reassurance that companies like to have. I wanted to make sure the audience was clear that it doesn't have to be the "wild west" when using OSS.
In the final section the questions explored the range, limitations and future directions for Open Source. Since we were getting close to lunch I wanted to provoke a reaction. My main statement was that eventually there will be a major Open Source solution and vendor in every technology segment. The direction of Linux over the previous ten years shows the manner in which OSS expands across all niches and we can see the impact it's had in other segments such as databases and today we see it in mobile phones. And that in any segment where there is a sufficiently wide interest in sharing the cost of development, increasing the speed of innovation through a community or rebooting the competition then OSS would eventually take place. Consequently, I suggested that if there wasn't an OSS competitor then a company should consider getting first mover advantage before their competitors do
I thought I'd come up with a controversial answer to the question and was quite surprised there wasn't a strong reaction from the audience. Perhaps they considered me too tainted as an OSS vendor.
So there you go, I managed to learn something about the electronics industry and just about avoided telling them that they should Open Source everything immediately! I'm sure they'll invite me again next year.
Landscape release press coverage
The new release of Landscape in time for the Ubuntu 10.04 LTS release attracted some nice articles in the Linux press. The majority of the features this time around are designed to help enterprise Ubuntu users who are managing a large number of systems. If you have hundreds of servers in your enterprise then you need to be able to see the "Landscape of your deployment" and react to issues quickly. There's more detail on the main features in my previous Landscape post.
First up is Sean Michael Kerner at Linux Planet who did a nice write-up titled Canonical Landscape 1.5 Extends Ubuntu Linux Management for Enterprises on the release. He pays particular attention to the enterprise authentication and the LTS upgrades with a nice quote from Ken Drachnik:
"We find that most enterprises are using LTS's, so as part of this release, we wanted to have the automated ability to just click a button and say 'Yes, upgrade me' and then Landscape would automatically download the packages and do the upgrade"
Over at The Register, Timothy Prickett Morgan focuses talks about the Cloud aspects of the new release in his article Canonical updates Landscape manager. With UEC a key part of our server product and the work we're doing on Amazon EC2 there's lots of interesting things that Landscape can do to help users manage Ubuntu in these environments.
Finally, Joe Panettieri at WorksWithU discusses Landscape 1.5: The Implications for Ubuntu Customers and Partners where he summarises the key elements of the release and considers how the Amazon EC2 management might be of interest to partners. He specifically asks for examples of how Landscape is being successful with corporate customers. And as if by magic we can point him at this case study by PlusServer AG which we just put up, and it's definitely worth a read!
Ubuntu Systems Management update
We released a new version of Landscape our management service for Ubuntu last week. There's a slew of new features including server templates, simple upgrades and enterprise authentication support. Whether you're managing a few systems or as many as Google the new features make system administration simpler!
Landscape's objective is to make managing and monitoring hundreds of Ubuntu systems as easy as looking after one. Whether you're managing some Ubuntu desktops, or looking after a Web server farm Landscape lowers the complexity of administering those systems: no-one wants to apply patches to hundreds of machines manually! For IT managers this means that Landscape makes system administrators more effective and efficient. Landscape also ensures that deployed Ubuntu systems are secure with maintenance patches and upgrades.
Landscape is provided as a software service so every six months Canonical releases a new version that is available to all subscribers. There's also an on-site version available to customers that have security policies or regulations that prevent them using a SaaS management platform. In line with Ubuntu 10.04 the main features of the new version are:
Package profiles
Many sites have sets of servers that do similar jobs, for example "web serving". Ideally you want those machines to have the same set-up reducing management overhead.
The ability to create templates of the packages installed on a particular system and then apply those to different machines makes it easy to replicate a standard install. It also ensures that you maintain consistent profiles across your systems as time goes by. Finally, if you need to re-provision or expand resources you can use profiles to ensure it's a repeatable process. Package Profiles is really great for managing configurations.
Release upgrades
If you're managing more that a handful of Ubuntu systems then doing upgrades is going to take a lot of time. Whether that's every six months in time with the standard releases, or every two years for the LTS releases, it's a significant commitment. To reduce that overhead you can now do upgrades between releases using Landscape.
Upgrades between releases are always complex so this doesn't remove the need for backups and careful attention. Nonetheless, if you've used Package Profiles, it will be easier to test an upgrade on a test system and then when you're happy apply it to all the deployed systems using the same package profile. Rather than having to access every machine and do the process by hand you can upgrade a group at a time.
Enterprise authentication
Enterprises commonly have a corporate standard for authentication such as LDAP or on a Microsoft Windows network Active Directory. The new version of LDS connects to these systems authenticating administrators from the existing authentication system. This ensures that customers can simplify their authentication set-up and enforce authorisation from a single corporate directory.
There's more information in the press release and you can read more about it in the Canonical blog post or try it out with a free trial.
Canonical's Ubuntu support scope
What software will Canonical provide support for? That's probably one of the questions you were asking if you read my previous post about commercial service subscriptions and bug resolution. Or perhaps not, but it's a rhetorical device that suits me for this post!
Generally speaking for an application to be supported as part of a service subscription it has to be within the Main repository. This is because applications within the Main repository receive public maintenance (bug fixes and security updates) for the life-cycle of the release.
In order for an application to move into Main it goes through a stringent security and quality assurance assessment. As part of this review Canonical's engineers inspect the code and ensure that they are able to maintain it. Consequently, those engineers also provide bug-fixes and maintenance for Canonical customers.
I find it interesting that generally the ability to maintain and fix code is one type of developer skill-set, while writing new features is a different one. Colin Watson recently told me that an early manager had told him that there are two types of developers in the world, those that create things and those that finish them off. Intuitively that feels right to me and by definition a distribution is focused on the latter where integration, polish and quality assurance rule.
The second issue is how do you know which software is covered within the Ubuntu service that you subscribed to? Some Linux distributions deal with this by covering all the software that they physically ship to customers. However, in Ubuntu's case most users receive the software electronically so this doesn't work. Second, the Main archive and seeds are relatively fixed and don't map well to a subscription service for a particular target market. Essentially this means it's hard to reflect the services within the technology.
Consequently, when a customer purchases a particular service subscription they receive a Service Description. This describes the scope of support, the bug-fixing coverage, the legal indemnification, the software components covered and the response levels. For example, a consumer desktop service wouldn't cover complex integration problems with a Microsoft Windows network, while this would be critical for a corporate subscription designed for customers with legacy networks. Effectively, the description tries to describe the types of use-cases and categories that are covered.
I hope this has given a bit of insight into how Canonical does support and bug-fixes for our customers.
Commercial bug-fixes for Ubuntu
If you have a commercial subscription service for Ubuntu how do we prioritise fixing bugs? This was at the heart of a conversation I had with a customer recently.
For business users Ubuntu's advantage is often flexibility. Adding another system to the data centre is simply a matter of starting it up. This contrasts with proprietary UNIX and the other commercial Linux vendors where license management creates deployment friction.
Nonetheless, it's hardly "free" if you can't use the software. And Ubuntu, like all software, has bugs and issues – particularly when you're using it in a complex environment. To resolve these issues professional users need access to expertise when there's an issue.
In the proprietary world the license agreement commonly includes support so the customer presents the bug and they should get a resolution.
Ubuntu's free nature presents a more nuanced picture. Every Ubuntu user is able (and encouraged) to put bugs into Launchpad. Many of these bugs will be resolved by Ubuntu community developers or Canonical's developers as we work on the next release of Ubuntu.
Nonetheless, any individual bug is a needle in a haystack. Ubuntu receives vast numbers of bugs from our user-base so there's no guarantee that any individual bug will get a response or a resolution. There's inherently no prioritisation of one user over another as all members of the Open Source community are equal. Additionally, bugs are generally resolved in the version of Ubuntu under development rather than the one that the problem is reported against. The need for certainty of response and resolution is the value of a formal relationship with Canonical.
A service agreement means that the customers bugs are guaranteed a response, that the issue will be dealt with by an Ubuntu expert and that the issue will be prioritised. For Canonical engineers customer bugs are prioritised over general development work and are split into categories by urgency.
Initially when the customer presents the case the GSS (Global Support & Services) team triage it and where possible come up with an immediate workaround. If the bug requires code development then it is escalated to the appropriate engineering group. This is where a resolution for the version of Ubuntu that the customer is using is created. This is generally delivered to the customer as a custom package for them to use immediately. The resolution is then integrated into the version of Ubuntu under development so that there won't be a regression when the customer upgrades to the next release.
So flexibility is the Ubuntu advantage, and the advantage of working with Canonical is there's a canonical resource for Ubuntu expertise.
Ubuntu in China
This week I've been in China talking about Ubuntu 10.04 and learning how Ubuntu is used. I've learned alot and it's been a great opportunity to encourage businesses and partners to extend their use of Open Source (Ubuntu in particular!). I've really enjoyed this trip and it's been fantastic to meet so many new people.
Like everyone else I've been struck by the energy in China. Everything from the traffic to the rate of technology change is done at full pace. China is a country that is growing up rapidly, across the board there's great confidence and a total focus on how to grow both in domestic markets and in global trade.
It's a country with significant divides between the urban and rural communities. One project we've been working on is to provide a PC that can be used in rural communities and education. The objective is to provide a platform for those groups to improve their lives, careers and education. The team has done a fantastic job and it's great to see Ubuntu being part of this project.
I've come away convinced that Open Source is an ideal solution for many of the different challenges. Of course it's cheaper than proprietary solutions and that has significant impact. But, more importantly Open Source and Ubuntu can deliver tailored solutions from the desktop through to the server and into the Cloud. This ability to fit into many niches as a flexible solution and help drive innovation is a key advantage for Ubuntu users.
I'd like to thank Richard, ZengPeng and Juergen for showing me around and Fanny Yeh for helping me navigate the region (particularly with the volcanic clouds!)

He's got 7.5 sacks in 3 games so far. At that pace he would end the season with a huge 40 sacks.
Now, obviously he is destined to have some not so sack-heavy games, but I still think the record of 22.5 sacks is well within reach.

TopekaRoy is exactly right. The more pressure a single individual puts on the QB the more he is going to get double coverage. But with that said, with all the threats we have I think it is distinctly possible that we could set a single season sack record. And I do agree that Houston could threaten that 22.5 record.
Anybody know the most sacks recorded by a team in a 16 game season?

Thanks Topeka! I remember that season. I was living in Prince Frederick, Md (Scumskin country) and my next door neighbor was a Bears fan. We watched football together all day every Sunday and Monday night for good luck. We'll be hard pressed to break that Bears record but it is not outside the realm of possibility. Can you say "refrigerator?"!
People do not know this & even though it may be unofficial, it is still a known fact that Deacon Jones in 1967 and Coy Bacon in 1976 sacked opposing QB's 26 times in a 14 game season.
HOF DE Doug Atkins said he believes that he has even more than that during a season in his heyday.
If Justin Houston does hit 26 by game 14, then that will be an impressive feat.

The sparse Bayesian Learning (SBL) algorithm can be utilized to model and forecast the electrical load behavior. The SBL algorithm can solve a sparse weight vector with respect to a kernel matrix for modeling electricity consumption. However, traditional SBL can only handle an electricity consumption record of one user at a time period. In this paper, we propose a joint SBL algorithm to model and forecast multi-users electricity consumption at multiple time periods. The spatial and historical similarity in multi-users electricity consumption records are exploited and integrated in the joint SBL algorithm for accurate prediction and good modeling. Experimental results based on real data show that the proposed joint SBL algorithm can produce much better prediction accuracy than the traditional SBL algorithm.

There's a title update for Ubisoft's Rocksmith on the way soon (probably next week). Nao Higo, the producer of the game, has tweeted a few things regarding.
One tweet states that the practice modes have been improved, as well as offering precision tuning prior to songs, as well as other changes. More details will be listed on the Official Facebook Page in coming days.
Another tweet has transparently hinted at the imminent bass support.

Made these for dinner tonight , thought they would go great with spaghetti and they did.
I made a couple of slight changes to the recipe , first I didn't use my bread machine ,did them by hand.I left out the Rosmary and we love the flavor of garlic and I didn't think 1 teaspoon garlic powder would be enough for us so I used 1 tablespoon ,you could tast the garlic but the flavor wasn't at all overbearing. I got 9 medium size roll's .Thanks for a good recipe ~Wilma~
I'll have to try this again. I let the dough rise too long.
I made these on 3/30/09 to go with Crock Pot Meatball Stew and they went with the stew so well.The amounts of rosemary and garlic were "right on the money" ( Make Mental Note To Self: DO NOT use rapid rise yeast, will result in "Paul Bunyun " size rolls :) ) This recipe will be made again.Thanks for posting and, "Keep Smiling :)
Made these for sliced prime rib sandwiches and there were perfect. The texture was great and the flavors complimented the beef. Thanks for a keeper.
I did this the other day and my whole family loved them. My bread machine must be having mental problems because I had to add another 1 1/4 cup flour after the end of the dough cycle. It was runny. :( so I just took it out and mixed in some extra flour, kneaded it alittle and cut into pieces. I let it rise until doubled and washed it with the egg/water mix with some extra rosemary & garlic mixed in. It filled the house with a wonderful smell now DH won't shut up about them and wants me to make them every night. See what you started :D Thanks for sharing!
I made these today for my family with a beef stew. I admit I picked them because I like the flavor combo of garlic and rosemary and they were simple to put together. The texture was very light and feathery. Perhaps if you wanted a roll with more firmness or body this might not be your recipe. I was hoping to have left overs for sandwiches but my teenage DS liked them a whole lot. Only 3 rolls left. They make a nice sized roll. I think it is easy to get too much rosemary going so I found the flavors just right. Very savory and a great complement to the soup.
I am giving these nice rolls high marks for appearance, but a little lower marks for taste and texture. They looked perfectly round, puffy and golden brown out of the oven, and I was so proud of my beautiful rolls. But then I was disappointed when eating them since they were very "marshmellowy" and tasteless. This might just be my opinion and another person might find them just right. As I was making the dough, the garlic smell was really strong and I was a bit concerned. But, once they were baked I could hardly taste the garlic at all..strange. Surprisingly, they were pretty good the next day, as I cut one in half and made a couple of tomato and cucumber sandwiches for lunch.

I am having exactly the same problem as here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/191038.
I have several sites running WordPress, versions 2.6.5 & 2.7, on my own server, all work perfectly. But I have just upgraded a site hosted on a different server to 2.7, and now the image uploader doesn't open in the iframe, instead it loads in the main page, so I lose my post, and the 'insert into post' does not work. It worked fine when it was running 2.6.5.
I have disabled all plugins, cleared my cache (several times!), but nothing works.
Any ideas what might be causing this?

Dear Members,
Due to the experienced warm temperatures over the last week, we (MBRC & BSL) have decided to postpone the Buller Cup 2016 event.
Assessing the current situation, we wouldn't be able to provide a high quality racing event which we strive for.
The Buller Cup 2016 is postponed to Sunday, 17th of July 2016.
The Organising Committee
Mt Buller Race Club
Mt Buller Race Club encourages all of their members to join the Melbourne dryland sessions offered by SSA. The SSA will be conducting a three day block of off snow Futures sessions over the upcoming school holidays from 29-31 March.
MBRC program details for the 2016 winter season.
Under the guidance of our Committee and dedicated staff, we will again deliver the best ski and snowboard race training program at Mt. Buller for our athletes, who remain our primary focus. Over the next few months we will continue to work on program details, which will be regularly published on our website and newsletters.
MBRC 2016 Race Training Program Information
If you would like to enquire about joining MBRC for 2016, please contact Sue Anthony on 0417 200 640 or by email at
MBRC snowboard athletes have just returning back from Hotham. Once more, it has been a great week of training and competing in Snowboardcross. Altogether, we had 21 riders signed up for our trip to Hotham. The number of athletes attending for the Futures Camp and SBX events has been outstanding and the level of riding fairly high, which has been great for riders and spectators.
In anticipation of the upcoming season, I would like to take the opportunity to briefly review the past 2014 Southern Hemisphere Season. With an exceptional great snow cover throughout the entire season, the 2014 season provided great excitement to all involved in the management of the club. As main achievements for 2014, I would name the following:
The Mt Buller Race Club movie 2014 which was shown to Athletes at the club awards presentation is now available for download. Get a taste of Mt Buller, our club and our great athletes. To download the MBRC Movie for 2014, please click here.

I'm a writer-filmmaker who has lived an ordinary/extraordinary life. Born and bred in Seattle, I moved to Los Angeles after college to do the film "thing." I interned for a number of production companies, sweated things out as an assistant to Oliver Stone, had some fun at Disney Studios, and got a Masters in Film from USC. Now I'm back in Seattle, working at the University of Washington by day, crafting my plans to take over the world by night.
I've got a wife who I adore (even if she doesn't quite "get" comics) and two terrific kids (we watch "Brave and the Bold" together and they love the "Tiny Titans"). My passion for comics started at a young age, and although my enthusiasm for the industry ebbs and flows, my feelings for the art form and its heroes never change. I've got some big ideas about the next few years of my life, and I can't wait to see what happens next…

We have been all about the beeswax this week! Julie shared a recipe for natural beeswax furniture polish on Monday and then a whole roundup of beeswax crafts yesterday. I've got to say that as a vegan crafter, I want to get in on all this eco-friendly waxy action! But since beeswax comes from bees, that makes it off limits for vegan crafting purposes. So! I did a bit of digging and turned up a great vegan beeswax alternative!

If you have felt scraps in a range of sizes, you can whip up this simple, sweet peacock fascinator! Peacock feathers are mega hip right now, but for vegan crafters, the real deal is off limits.

You might not think of animal products when you think jewelry, but there are more sneaky animal components to jewelry making than it might seem at first glance.

Here are some places where you might encounter animal products in jewelry making and ways you can replace those products

The 'Paygo' Coverup
The Obama pattern: Spend, repent, spend again, repent.
Some things in politics you can't make up, such as President Obama's re-re-endorsement Tuesday of "pay-as-you-go" budgeting. Coming after $787 billion in nonstimulating stimulus, a $410 billion omnibus to wrap up fiscal 2009, a $3.5 trillion 2010 budget proposal, sundry bailouts and a 13-figure health-care spending expansion still to come, this latest vow of fiscal chastity is like Donald Trump denouncing self-promotion.
Check that. Even The Donald would find this one too much to sell.
But Mr. Obama must think the press and public are dumb enough to buy it, because there he was Tuesday re-selling the same "paygo" promises that Democrats roll out every election. Paygo is "very simple," the President claimed. "Congress can only spend a dollar if it saves a dollar elsewhere."
That's what Democrats also promised in 2006, with Nancy Pelosi vowing that "the first thing" House Democrats would do if they took Congress was reimpose paygo rules that "Republicans had let lapse." By 2008, Speaker Pelosi had let those rules lapse no fewer than 12 times, to make way for $400 billion in deficit spending. Mr. Obama repeated the paygo pledge during his 2008 campaign, and instead we have witnessed the greatest peacetime spending binge in U.S. history. As a share of GDP, spending will hit an astonishing 28.5% in fiscal 2009, with the deficit hitting 13% and projected to stay at 4% to 5% for years to come.
The truth is that paygo is the kind of budget gimmick that gives gimmickry a bad name. As Mr. Obama knows but won't tell voters, paygo only applies to new or expanded entitlement programs, not to existing programs such as Medicare, this year growing at a 9.2% annual rate. Nor does paygo apply to discretionary spending, set to hit $1.4 trillion in fiscal 2010, or 40% of the budget.
This loophole matters, because on the very day Mr. Obama was hailing paygo the House Appropriations Committee was gleefully approving a 12% increase in 2010 nondefense discretionary spending, the third year running that Democrats have proposed double-digit increases. Or consider that the 2010 budget resolution included a $2 billion increase for low-income heating assistance as an entitlement change that should be subject to paygo. But Congressional Democrats simply classified it as discretionary spending, thereby avoiding the need for $2 billion in cuts elsewhere. C'est-la-paygo.
Mr. Obama's new proposal includes even more loopholes. There's an exception for Congress's annual alternative-minimum tax "patch," which is worth at least $576 billion over 10 years; for any of the Bush tax cuts that Mr. Obama decides he wants to extend past 2010; and to protect against planned cuts in Medicare doctor payments. These carve-outs alone spare Democrats from having to come up with some $2.5 trillion in spending cuts or new taxes. To add insult to profligacy, the rules also allow the Administration to run huge early deficits for its looming health-care bonanza, and only pay for it later -- say, after 2012.
The President also revived the myth that paygo was somehow responsible for eliminating budget deficits during the Clinton years. In fact, that brief era of balanced budgets was due to: mid-decade spending reductions by a GOP Congress elected on a balanced-budget pledge; an excessive cut in defense spending to 3% from 5% of GDP across the decade; and an unsustainable revenue boom due to the dot-com bubble. But harking back to the 1990s lets Mr. Obama avoid having to defend his own spending record.
The real game here is that the President is trying to give Democrats in Congress political cover for the health-care blowout and tax-increase votes that he knows are coming. The polls are showing that Mr. Obama's spending plans are far less popular than the President himself, and Democrats in swing districts are getting nervous. The paygo ruse gives Blue Dog Democrats cover to say they voted for "fiscal discipline," even as they vote to pass the greatest entitlement expansion in modern history. The Blue Dogs always play this double game.
The other goal of this new paygo campaign is to make it easier to raise taxes in 2011, and impossible to cut taxes for years after that. In the near term, paygo gives Mr. Obama another excuse to let the Bush tax cuts he dislikes expire after 2010, while exempting those (for lower-income voters) that he likes. In the longer term, if a GOP Congress or President ever want to cut taxes, paygo applies a straitjacket that pits those tax cuts against, say, spending cuts in Medicare. The Reagan tax reductions would never have happened under paygo.
The main political question now is when Americans will start to figure out Mr. Obama's pattern of spend, repent and repeat. The President is still sailing along on his charm and the fact that Americans are cheering for an economic recovery. But eventually they'll see that he isn't telling them the truth, and when they do, the very Blue Dogs he's trying to protect will pay the price. And they'll deserve what they get.

Long time lurker here, but honestly the only way to get rid of the sting of losing that perfect superbowl record mark is to win two more and be in sole possession of the most number of Superbowl championships. Until then, this loss is always going to be a blemish on our franchise. I know that's a little dramatic, but the fans, players (past and present) and the management of this organization all took great pride in our history in Superbowl games.
I'm just hoping the team right now doesn't feel this sense of defeat and this "it's all over with attitude" that the fans currently feel. For a lot of the faithful, it's been 17 years of being emotionally vested into this franchise to get to our next Superbowl and to come within 5 yards of that is just utterly defeating and overwhelming. So I can definitely empathize with our fan base who are "overreacting" this wasn't just two years of hard work commencing into a tough defeat, this was almost two decades of moderate success and bitter dissapointment ending in one last loss on the biggest stage and the game was completely in our hands to win.

I am 68, retired USAF aircraft avionics, cryptographic systems tech. with a Technician Class HAM Radio license.
I wrote/re-wrote the Standards Installation Manuals (29 volumes) while establishing/teaching the one week school in the Air Force for all installers of Communications Centers, and Bases in America and Europe. Was assigned there for 3.5 years. Also taught micromodular repair, soldering practices, and worked on
the Idlewild RAPCON project, along with the first laser shots to return from the moon.
I am retired, but, rebuild several computers each week for the Friends of the Library,
Seminole county, and other charities, schools, businesses, and families.
I repair LCD monitors and computers down to the component level, TIG weld, and repair motor vehicles, bicycles, as needed. Have a Raspberry Pi B model, and am building a BIT X20A Ham Radio from scratch.
So, I have a few current "brands in the fire", and have a recommendation, to help the newbies...
1. How about a "Standards Page", a "Safe Practices Page", or links to some?
2. A writer guide for projects, so that a 'formula' is followed, as in an outline of tasks.
Thanks for a very informative, exciting, experience! Just watching technology blossom and evolve is a thrill!
If you want to apply for something, there are email addresses in the topic text.
My opinions:
A safety page has been discussed before, but the sheer range and variety of tools, tasks and processes described in the projects here make such a task fall somewhere between "infeasibly unwieldy" and "insanely complex". That's why safe working has been made the responsibility of the end-users (which also stops new authors being put off by the threat of legal action).
Regarding your second point, we do have a set of quality guidelines - http://www.instructables.com/community/Featuring-... - but to recommend a specific formula would make previously creative and distinctive projects start to look rather repetitive and, well, formulaic.
Hey wow! I'm smart, easy to work with, and do Java backend development (Spring, iBATIS/Hibernate, build automation, XML). And I have my own maker blog to boot: http://randybuildsthings.wordpress.com
How shall I reach you to toss my hat in the ring?
Send us an email! It's in there somewhere....
Hello there!
Been a long time reader here! I was hoping to find out if you are looking for a back-end php programmer?
Thanks for everything you do! <3
Is their something I could do from home to help with the Spanish/English instructables, maybe help translate the parts that are unclear.
If you're fluent in Spanish, the translated projects often need a knowing eye cast over them to make sure they read properly, or you can lurk around the Language Forum and help folk that post there (you might want to post a new forum topic to introduce yourself and say what help you can offer).
Thanks, but the links you gave aren't working, are they supposed to be links?
Yes, they were supposed to be links, but there's a bug that breaks them. The first is...
...and the second is...
Not sure if you posted links, but if you did they don't work for me.
Dear Mr. Kiteman. From what I have read you are a man of great patience. I hope you enjoyed your holiday
Thank you very topics useful, beautiful and utilitarian Site
I am a freshman in high school I'm 15 years old I've done got my technology certification and electric certification I'm good to to help people on anything they need I try my best to help.

At 15, you're probably best looking here:
I'm 18, senior in high school, & live in MS. Do I qualify for anything?
Intern? Remote helper?
OMG!! I wish y'all had been around about 30 years ago. I would have moved my wife out there and would have most likely preserved my health more than the physically demanding jobs that I did work at. This would have been a dream come true. I would have probably been able to still be working instead of being disabled. LOL
Hi, I am a high school senior (18), and I was wondering how long your internship program is. Is it possible for me to work for instructables over the summer?
OMG. I have been so enamored by the what instructable does that I have been thinking of applying for job in instructable. I will send and email with my resume and cover letter soon. I always wanter to work for a awesome company and Instructable has got me thinking. I am software tester and already fund few bug in the system...LoL
sir, there is a space for Network administrator engineer? that i will use my skill and knowledge to make better future for you company and myself.
thanking you
If you're applying speculatively, I would put together an impressive CV and portfolio, then send it with a covering letter to the email address mentioned several times in the topic post above.
Who's that, You?
Huh? No, I'm just advising folk how to apply for vacancies that don't currently exist (like network manager) - you need to be able to prove that you are the best thing since sliced bread if you want a company to create a position for you.
O hello mister Kiteman,, positions or vacancy always not exist, but some time created to get better capable and excellent persons.
from- steve jobs
i'm 15,from Zimbabwe,i go to school,hard worker and i also want a position at Instructables because i have going on this website longer than you imagine thank you
Unfortunately, you are currently too young to be employed at Pier 9, but you are not too young to start working on the portfolio that could get you a job there:
> Start publishing instructables of a high standard.
> Be helpful around the site (we have at least one 15 year old who has been invited to join the Community Team).
> Find out about your local Maker community, and join in with it. For instance, a quick google reveals a group in Harare called "Hypercube", who are also on Facebook. Keep a record of your activities with whatever group you join (or start), and include that in your portfolio.
Dear Instructables, I am a member since 2008 , Im a Graphics Designer, Sign Builder and allways trying to create newer and functional things. I run my own shop, plotter and Laser cut Machine and I am also interested in Spanish Community Manager Position I have the time and the disposition to hold that job.
where can I send you my cover letter and portfolio.

The email address is in the text of the topic...
problem in download the pdf file
You don't need to post the same comment so often, and this should have been made on the Feedback or Bugs forums.
However, the reason you cannot download a PDF file of a project is because you have not got a "Pro" membership.
If you want to turn Pro, you either have to pay money to do so, or post a cool project that gets Featured, so you get rewarded with a free Pro membership.
i well work for you
i will love to
never :P

To apply for the jobs, you must send an email, including a resume ("CV"), cover letter and portfolio to email@example.com
What positions o you have available in regards to sorting content/choosing finalists?
I am also interested as to what sort of pay you would give to someone working night hours.
Depending on what you mean exactly by "sorting content", it would probably come under "community manager" or "generalist designer" (see the main post above).
Choosing finalists is done by the wider community, through voting, and by the general staff at Pier 9, there isn't somebody employed solely to choose finalists (it would be a very intermittent post anyway). Choosing winners is done by a judging team, which you can offer to be on. It's unpaid.
They don't have a night shift - if you see them doing stuff while you're in bed, it could be because they are themselves insomniac, and working on their own time, or you are in a different time zone to them (California is on PST, 8 hours behind UTC).
Of course, you may have some outstanding idea and/or reason for working nights at HQ - I recommend contacting the relevant staff directly and talking to them about it.
Thanks for coming back on that, I already judge a few of the incoming contests.
I will contact some of the other staff and hopefully they have something for me.
Thanks again,
Is there anyway I can get an internship through this site? Even if I live in northern Indiana? I've been looking for some: shop, workshop, engineering related experience, and if I could get it with instructibles that would be the best case scenario!
Read the topic, it tells you how to apply.
Thanks! I applied, and I hope I get chosen!
Let us know how it goes.
With pleasure. I also decided to give you a sub because everyone (including me) respect you as an administrator on his site. I decided this for sure after I read your dealings with that guy below me. Very well dealt with, I would have needed to vent afterward.... :/
Thank you!
No problem!
Can I use the instructable logo on tee shirts to sell?
Probably not, but maybe. For more details, see here:
I understand your HQ is based in San Fran, but is there any possibility in the foreseeable future that you may create another location anywhere else in the US?
Hi Kiteman,
I applied for the Generalist Designer/ Technologist position 5 weeks ago. I'm sure other candidates are being pursued, but I'm worried about what to do if another position I feel qualified for is posted. I know some places discard applications if you've applied to more than one open position.
Thanks for your time, and are you getting ready for Oktoberfest?
Sorry I didn't answer more quickly, I'm on holiday...
I'm not part of the recruitment team, and cannot offer any opinion on what their policy might be.
My *personal* inclination would be to apply for the second post, but include a comment to the effect that you have always been keen to work for the site, would do well in the first job, but now that the new job has been advertised you think you would be even better for that (and give reasons/evidence to back this up!). However, you know that HQ know what they need better than you do, and you would be happy to work for the site in either role.
Sorry to interrupt your holiday, but thank you for the great response. That looks to be a great way to go about it.
Helloo I'm Eric. I dont find mot plz give some new idea to make my welding machine at home.. bcoz without welder I can't make car. I try to make spot welder with normal transformer for just trying to make welder. But it doesn't work..
There are quite a few DIY welders around the site. Have you tried the search function?
(It works best when you are careful with your spelling...)
anything available for a grammar-fascist with an English degree? noticed some glaring typos and grammatical errors around the site...maybe you guys need a rabid proofreader, even part-time? i can imitate robot whirring and bleeping sounds if that helps at all, plus my brain just got updated with the hyperfast Microsoft Grammarplus Chipset....
If you want to exercise your grammar muscles, you're best doing it on voluntary victims. They can usually be found in the Clinic: http://www.instructables.com/community/The-Clinic...
If you find issues with syntax or spelling on the site architecture or in an admin-created document (like a contest), let us know at service at instructables.com. If the issue is on an individual project submitted by an author, just leave it alone. Grammar fascism is as popular as old-fashioned fascism. That said:
We've given away t-shirts without the r, I've nearly written account without the o, and we don't notice until someone points them out.
I don't know if you guys do stuff like this are not. But I thought I would drop a line to see if you guys do. I think there is a market for something I'm thinking of. I know about 20 people that are like me and think it would be great to have something like what I'm will till you about. I don't know if you guys even do stuff like this are not But you might want to think about putting lights some how on wheel chair's for people that use them to go out on the street's. People in cars just don't watch for people in wheelchair's at all. But I think if they had some kind of lighting on it that it might help. It's just an idea. If you do come up with something email me firstname.lastname@example.com are if you need a gene pig.
Hello NStokes1. I have nothing to do with Pier 9, as I'm simply a member. I just wanted to comment on your idea. I think that what you are talking about is a fantastic idea. I used to be a tech at a motorcycle shop and we did this for a very independent young man who visited our store from time to time and who had all of us seriously terrified for him that he was going to be hit on the major and very busy road he would regularly travel. In fact, at some point long before I'd met him, he actually DID get hit by a truck. The story is funny of course after the fact but still horrifying none the less! One day a truck did not see him crossing the road (legally) at a turn lane and though his w/c was not hit hard at all, he wound up with both handles stuck to the grill of this truck and was pushed quite a way down the road horrifying everyone traveling in the opposite direction! Luckily the driver caught on quickly from all the honks and urgent pointing. He really was very, VERY lucky he didn't get hurt or worse. Once it was over with, he thought it was super fun that he got to go fast in his chair! Can you imagine?!? OMG!
So, we outfitted his motorized w/c with lights mounted high on extended posts to the outside of the frame in front of the handles which were his "real" headlights with yellow running lights that were also his turn signals just below them. He also got flashing running lights at four corner points of his chair. Plus, for kicks and his absolute joy we gave him a horn as well! Since we didn't want to risk him running out of juice from his main battery, a tray was created for a motorcycle battery and mounted near the base of the chair.
That young man was SO incredibly happy that someone took the time to do this for him! When he showed up to pick up his chair, he was so happy with what we had done that everyone was trying very hard to choke back tears. Most of us were not successful with that!
He was already pretty independent with that chair but with his new lights?!? He was king of the road!!!
I SO wish I had pix to show!!!
What a story! Ended surprisingly well... could easily be the opposite, as many other.
I have no idea how it is in US, but here in Portugal can be pretty dangerous to ride a bike (I won't enven refer to a wheel chair, as for exemple from where I live, there's no sidewalks in 3-4km of those 5km to the center of the town), for our bad roads or for the unconscious overspeeders. Two weeks ago I got really scared coming back home, and it was still daylight! The car passed me at +-90km/h, less than 50cm close. If it was a truck, it would have certainly suck me up right after passing me. Many people already died around here (not on "my" road) for that reason.
Lights can be life savers! Even if they can't avoid those ignorants that shouldn't have a license to drive. I wish them the worst luck!
do you mean a push wheel chair
im software engineer also creative worker from sri lanka. im like to work with you ,any freelancer work ?
Namibia`s too far....
too far from the Philippines. :((
Should I be receiving any application confirmation or rejection notices? I've sent an email last week and haven't received any follow up response.
Do you ever hire electronics geeks to build, verify, and/or fix instructables on the site? I've been an electronics hobbyist for a couple of decades, and working in the electronics industry for roughly a decade. I've built custom audio electronics for several well known musicians as well. Unfortunately, I don't have an EE degree so I have to rely on namedropping and the long list of projects and hands-on experience that I have.
Is there a place for the seemingly uneducated at Instructables?
The best qualification for an internship is a track record of publishing awesome projects as instructables.
Time to start creating...
Is it likely to get an interview if you're not in California? Personally, I'm in North Carolina, but I'd happily relocate for Instructables.
Since most of the current staff are not Californian, some are even Canadian, I'd say "go for it".
A highlight of my day is reading responses on this message board. I am a 58 year-old disabled woman in Maryland, USA who worked for years as a product adaptation specialist. My daughter calls me a serial entrepreneur. My advice to anyone interested in getting involved at Instructables is to learn from people like Akin Yildiz who wants this in his bones. He never asks "how much" or "what" is in it for him. He already knows the answer. If you are serious about wanting to be at Instructables in any capacity, the most important question to ask is "when should I get there?" Best regards, J Havel, Columbia, MD, USA, Earth
PS - "Earth" added in case some day it becomes a necessary part of the address.
i wash dishes during the day and save the planet at night thru instructables.com.... i will move there for an internship just to get help to finish my design in mind !
Send in your application - the worst that can happen is they say "not this time".
The first requirement on all of these should probably be "Located in the Bay Area". Because even though I would kill it as the "Design-Focused Woodworker" and got excited, I am, alas in Los Angeles..
You could move, rent a place in Oakland.
Got all excited about the "Fashion Monster" job for my daughter, she is a perfect match to the job description except for one thing, wrong bay area. She lives in Melbourne Australia.
As for "Materials Scientist, 3D Printing" that exactly describes me and my job before I retired after doing that work for 32 years, I was even doing the 3D algorithm work and some of the programing. I still consult but again wrong country.
Just when is someone going to invent Star Trek style teleportation i{^_^}
How long will the job application for Editor / Digital Storyteller / Videographer be available?
The inetructables.com is a good web site and I am looking forward in it ...I am in internet marketing and working upon him as K.B.Enterprises .....Thanks!
mtkk(Taufiq Khan)
Allow serious people like us to apply
how old do i have to be for a internship?
How old are you?
i am 15 7/6 years old is that a acceptable age?
You'll probably need to involve a parent or legal guardian to arrange anything more than a visit.
Mates, what is the required age for your Position of Videographer ?
Actually I don't wanted to mention my age, so for the reply (if wished by you ha) send me an email.
Mail - email@example.com
"Please send a resume, demo reel, and a 1 minute video cover letter that tells the story of why you'd be great for this position to auctoramentum at instructables dot com.
Make the subject of your email robot-related, and, if possible, witty."
cool I might apply
i liked it

love u all
How many internship positions are there or can there only be one?
Hi everybody
Sounds good!

Geoffrey Alderman, an Orthodox Jew who writes a weekly column for the Jewish Chronicle and teaches politics and history at the University of Buckingham, apparently wants some attention.

"The Jewish religion has – to some extent – been successfully incorporated with the English legal system," Professor Alderman said: "this has damaged neither the status of British Jews nor the fabric of English law."

If the effect that you're expecting is an output from e.g. @echo "Hello world" then specify :output t :error output. I recommend trying a batch file containing the command echo "See how I run" >>"%~f0.out" This command, being executed inside .../file.bat, will add a text line to .../file.bat.out, independently of any standard channel redirections. It's easy to check if your file is running. A script containing "notepad.exe" is good for debugging too: if it's running, visual indication is available immediately :) Furthermore, if your batch file extension is present in your %PathExt% variable (like .BAT and .CMD do by default), there is no need to start cmd.exe explicitly. The latter may make things worse in a number of ways; unexpected "terminate batch job [y/n]?" query on Ctrl+C is one of them. As of Win64 fork: on the most recent version (188.8.131.52.288.wth.kovalenko), I've just tested several batch files with several variations of RUN-PROGRAM parameters. No problems were observed as long as redirection is trivial (no std channels, or all channels inherited, or some of them redirected to compatible FD streams). Non-trivial redirections (e.g. output to string stream or Gray stream) have some known problems (two different sets of problems for my fork and for the upstream SBCL). When I migrated to "fds are handles" model, I had to start using CreateProcess instead of MSVCRT _spawn; also, I had to modify some code that manages pipe creation and channel inheritance. Though I'm trying to avoid incompatibilities, be prepared to get different results from upstream SBCL and mine. RUN-PROGRAM is one of the areas I'm currently working on, so i'll be glad to receive related bug reports. > It executes without problems, but run.bat does nothing (or cmd does > not run it at all).

I have 6 categories with each having four sub categories with the same names, for example:

Cagetory One

Sub 1

Sub 2

Cagetory Two

Sub 1

Sub 2

Currently I can show documents that are both categories like this:
[wp-publication-archive categories="Cat One,Cat Two"]
Is there a way to filter so that I can only include documents that are in both? Perhaps something like this?
[wp-publication-archive categories="Cat One&Sub 1"]
This is so that I can include documents that must be in both categories.
Make sense?
