This is my proudest achievement: my Arris Cable Modem. That's why I nailed it to the wall above my fireplace. Technology moves so fast, sometimes I can't catch it. But when I do, I hold onto it for as long as I can until it breaks free from my tenuous grasp and scurries off into the hidden corners of life. That's how I got my Arris Cable Modem. It was running across my kitchen floor one night and I nabbed it. Well, first I screamed. That startled it pretty good. But then I remembered my training and jumped with my whole body on top of the Arris. It stung me plenty of times but I held it down firmly. The book says you're supposed to whisper softly to it the whole time, so I did that. I sang it a song. Which just made it angrier. But when I calmly promised to feed it a lot of internet, it eased up a little. I named it Arris Cable Modem. Because that's what was written on it. Read more

A tortoise missing since Sunday from Colorado Springs' Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is speaking out on Twitter. At least, he's pretending to.
"ButtiTortoise" popped up on the popular social network site Wednesday afternoon. In his first tweet, Butti said, "Broke out a few days ago. It took awhile to get my shell phone to work."
Butti claimed he ran away from the zoo after getting inspiration from a missing cobra at the Bronx Zoo in New York City.
"I hope this vacation will help me come out of my shell a little bit. Hope it gets a little warmer out here," Butti tweeted.
In all seriousness, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo believes Butti was stolen from a popular exhibit on Sunday afternoon. His whereabouts are unknown and there have been no leads on his disappearance, the zoo said.
It's not known who's running the Twitter account. Cheyenne Mountain Zoo said they were aware of the account, but didn't know who was behind it, said Katie Borremans, public relations manager for the zoo.

|Gender: Male Age: 9-10 years old
Cooper is a super sweet senior Golden. This beautiful light golden boy is a relinquishment; his owner has a busy career and feels an attentive home would be best. Cooper is being treated for an ear infection and has had a dental; our vet partner also recommends that he gains weight. He'll be fine with older children and appears to be okay with other canines. He has tons of love to give and will be a wonderful companion.
Foster Update: 12/18/12
Cooper has adjusted well to his foster home. He has gained 10 pounds in the past month and a half and the vet says he could handle another 10. He has no trouble working toward that goal!! Cooper is a wonderful Golden boy with so much love to give! He loves having a toy in his mouth and will run and find one before he greets us. He is fully house trained and does not need to be crated. He would love to curl up on the furniture and cuddle with his new family. He will go up stairs to go to bed at night and go down stairs in the morning but tries to stay away from them the rest of the day. He loves his walks and pulls at the beginning due to his excitement but settles into a nice pace after a while. Cooper understands some basic cues...sit, shake, and come and is working on down. Cooper does 'talk back' when he doesn't like what he is being asked to do, but a 'no' stops him. Cooper is wonderful with older children and would love to have a canine companion to play with and has no trouble keeping up with his young year old canine friend!

I previously asked about getting the output of a command into a
variable. I'm going to be more specific about what I'm trying to do,
in case there's a different way to do this.
I'm constructing a PATH-like variable, with file names separated by
";". I need to construct this with the full path to every file in a
specific directory. Building the string was easy to do in Perl, but
perhaps there's no way to get it back to the BAT script.
Searching through some FAQs, I noticed that perhaps some variation of
the "FOR" command might be able to do this. I've tried numerous
variations, trying to use the "usebackq" option, to execute my perl
script, for instance, or to execute "dir/b". I can't figure out how to
make it execute the perl script with this, and "dir/b" doesn't quite
work, as it doesn't print the full path for each file, and I can't
figure out how to accumulate the values.

Researchers at Tel Aviv University's Blavatnik School of Computer Science are developing programmes which will make computers realise their mistakes and them operate much faster and predict events before they happen.

And ever since Jessica Carnell of Matthews was in the eighth grade, she knew she wanted to be nurse.
Both Launius and Carnell will graduate in July from the Sikeston Public Schools Practical Nurse Program. They're two of thousands of nursing students in the United States and Missouri who are helping ease the state and national nursing shortage.
"You don't realize how important nursing is -- at least I didn't -- until you're in the program," said Launius, who would like to be a nurse on the professional rodeo circuit some day. "Some people may think, 'Oh your a nurse. Big deal.' They don't realize what you have to go through to get there and that nurses have to know so much."
Nursing is not an easy program, said Sikeston Public Schools Practical Nurse Program Director Linda A. Boyd, MS, RNBC. About one-third or one-fourth of the students who started actually graduate because the program is tough, she added.
"In the beginning it was really, really difficult," Carnell said. "You think you might have one class, but instead you have all these classes, like four at a time, and you have to keep all of it straight. It gets tense."
It's true nursing students are needed, but without a nursing program, some area students wouldn't have the chance to live their dreams. That's why a recent recommendation for a lengthened accreditation of the Sikeston Public Schools Nurse Program has proven another step forward to addressing the national nursing shortage, which is expected to reach 800,000 nurses by 2020.
"I'm thrilled to be associated with a local nursing program that will help meet the healthcare demands of our hospitals, nursing homes and homecare providers. We're hoping the nurses from our own communities will stay in the area," Boyd said.
What's really nice about receiving the lengthened accreditation is it's encouraging to the faculty and it lets them know they're on the right track, Boyd added. "We have had national peer review and to have that -- them saying you've done a good job -- is really good."
Sikeston's nursing program had an accreditation visit in 1999, Boyd said. At that time they had the recommendation that there would be a written interim report from the school in March 2002.
"We as a faculty sat down and wrote how we had revamped, reorganized and redirected this program. Based on the overall ongoing programming for student learning, they took our accreditation visit that was to be in spring 2004 and extended it to 2007, which was really something to be proud of."
Missouri is currently one of 28 states with major nursing shortages, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
In addition to working nurses, there is a tremendous shortage of nursing faculty, Boyd said. Many times nurses who switch to nurse education do it because there's a professional fulfillment in teaching other nurses, she added.
"We're going to see a greater shortage of faculty. The average age of the working nurse is 43 and the average age of nursing faculty is 51. You can see the impact," Boyd said.
U.S. nursing schools turned away nearly 6,000 qualified applicants last year, according to a survey by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing. Some schools are turning away students because they don't have the faculty, but fortunately, Sikeston hasn't reached that point yet, Boyd said.
A new federal law, the Nursing Reinvestment Act, expands scholarships for student nurses, offers grants for nursing schools and includes loan forgiveness programs for nurses who earn advanced degrees and become teachers.
"I think it's wonderful," Boyd said about the Nursing Reinvestment Act. "I think anything we can to do promote people to enter the nursing profession and any governmental resources available is a win-win situation."
For those interested in entering the nursing program in July, when the next session begins, applications will be taken only between Jan. 6 and Feb. 28. Then pre-entrance exams will take place in March or April. Program selections is made in May.
"One of the things people need to decide when they get into nursing is why they're doing it," Boyd noted. "It has to be more than just the job opportunities and the pay. It needs to be because they truly want to care for others, and they're able to put other people's needs before their own. They also need to have a nurturing side to them. There's nothing worse than a non nurturing nurse."

'Fantastic Fest' 2010: 10 Films to See
Taking place mere weeks after the Telluride and Toronto International Film Festivals, Fantastic Fest is the cinematic equivalent of a hot fudge sundae that follows a meal full of vegetables. Founded in Austin, TX in 2005 by Alamo Drafthouse purveyor Tim League, Paul Alvarado-Dykstra, screenwriter Tim McCanlies, and Ain't It Cool News figurehead Harry Knowles as a celebration of exploitation and genre movies, the five-year-old festival runs from September 23-30.
Since becoming the largest festival in the U.S. devoted exclusively to horror, sci-fi and fantasy films, it's become an annual destination for hardcore cinephiles, as well as for filmmakers and studios eager to determine the potential interest (much less commercial prospects) of their upcoming releases. Past films screened at Fantastic Fest include Bong Joon-Ho's 'The Host,' Darren Aronofksy's 'The Fountain,' Paul Thomas Anderson's 'There Will Be Blood,' Ruben Fleischer's 'Zombieland,' Lars Von Trier's 'Antichrist,' and Tom Six's 'Human Centipede.'
Meanwhile, the Festival is also packed with a number of unique extracurricular events, including the Fantastic Debates, where participants square off over various movie-related subjects in an actual boxing ring; this year, for example, Tim League faces off against Michelle Rodriguez (revisiting her 'Girlfight' roots) to decide whether 'Avatar,' which co-starred Rodriguez, should have won the Best Picture Academy Award earlier this year. Additionally, there are panels addressing industry-related issues on a local and national level, trivia contests moderated by genre experts like FEARnet's resident horror critic, Scott Weinberg, and video game tournaments and exhibitions to be held at Fantastic Arcade, a game-centric offshoot of the Fest which makes its debut this year. And the 2010 Fest culminates with a Lifetime Achievement Award being presented to iconic exploitation producer-director Roger Corman.
While this year's schedule is decidedly heavy on Asian action cinema –- a tribute to iconic martial arts choreographer Yuen Woo-Ping, whose new film 'True Legend' will be screened — the festival roster is filled with a typically eclectic array of mainstream releases, cult and underground entries, and classic fare from a wide variety of genres. Check out a selection of some of the festival's must-see films below.
Bunraku – Written and directed by newcomer Guy Moshe, Bunraku is an oddball thriller about a mysterious stranger (Josh Hartnett) hell-bent on killing a crime boss (Ron Perlman). Woody Harrelson, Demi Moore, Kevin McKidd and Japanese pop star GACKT provide supporting turns, while the film itself combines elements of spaghetti westerns, samurai films and kung fu flicks in a violent, balletic amalgam of filmmaking styles, genres and even cultures.
Buried – After digging up interest from genre fans at Sundance earlier this year, Rodrigo Cortes' provocative containment thriller gets unleashed on audiences at Fantastic Fest in anticipation of its theatrical run next month. Though there's a supporting cast that includes Stephen Toblowksy and Samantha Mathis, the film is basically a one-man show for actor Ryan Reynolds, who endures the horrors of being buried in a box with a cell phone, a lighter, and 90 minutes of oxygen.
Let Me In – Matt Reeves' remake of Tomas Alfredson's acclaimed 2008 vampire film 'Let the Right One In' is one of the most highly-anticipated films of the year, and one of the most controversial: should Hollywood rework cult foreign films, and if so, how should they do it? Casting Chloe Grace Moretz, Hit Girl from 'Kick-Ass,' was step one for Reeves, as was integrating material from Alfredson's source material. But with 'Twilight' and 'True Blood' converting new fans all over the globe, this is a must-see movie for virtually every attendee.
Machete Maidens Unleashed – The great thing about becoming addicted to exploitation movies is that there's a virtually bottomless well of gratification. Following up his 2008 documentary 'Not Quite Hollywood,' director Mark Hartley returns with another chronicle of a film movement that's destined to fill your Netflix queue – except instead of Australian cinema, this time Hartley targets the Filipino industry.
Mother's Day – Darren Lynn Bousman ('Saw' installments II through IV) offers up a nasty little slice of brutality with this remake of Charles Kaufman's cult 1980 movie about a pair of rednecks who try to impress their mom by torturing a trio of female campers. Believe it or not, Rebecca De Mornay is already generating some dark-horse Oscar buzz for her turn as "Mother," but the real mystery is whether Bousman's film preserves the ending of the original – which is surprising enough without having to change a thing.
Playing Columbine: A True Story of Videogame Controversy – As the motives for school violence continue to be discussed and dissected, Danny Ledonne analyzes the history of a videogame based on the Columbine killers that's as controversial as (if not more than) the acts that inspired it. Chronicling the game from its initial creation to its highly-contested removal from the Slamdance 2007 Guerilla Gamemaker Competition, Ledonne examines the social, intellectual and moral implications of making a game that tests the boundaries between role-playing escapism and recreating real-life violent acts.
Red – Clips of Robert Schwentke's action-filled follow-up to 'The Time Traveler's Wife' wowed fan boys (and girls) at San Diego Comic-Con last July, which means the movie's got a lot to prove when it debuts at Fantastic Fest with co-star Karl Urban ('Star Trek') in tow. Featuring a cast more likely to pick up an Oscar statuette (including Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, and Bruce Willis) than pick off a target with a sniper rifle, the highly-anticipated film promises action and comedy in equal measures.
Rubber – Written and directed by French electronic artist Mr. Oizo (nee Quentin Dupieux), Rubber may be the oddest in an already odd slate of films: it follows the adventures of a homicidal car tire named Robert. (Yes, you read that right.) Dupieux applies deadpan seriousness to the execution of this eccentric conceit, and adds a provocative layer of self-reflexivity as a group of humans simultaneously watch a movie about Robert's travails, creating a sublime film that tests audience suspension of disbelief –- all the while satisfying their desire to see heads explode.
Stone – A film whose website synopsis fulfills the festival's "fantastic" quotient while ostensibly being a comparatively straightforward drama, John Curran's follow-up to the acclaimed, little-seen 'The Painted Veil' is an equally-complicated but markedly different sort of film, reuniting Robert De Niro and Edward Norton as they play, respectively, a prison counselor and an inmate desperate to get out.
True Legend – Yuen Woo-Ping is probably best known by mainstream audiences as the guy who gave 'The Matrix's' fight scenes such an inventive, exhilarating edge, but he's been choreographing fights and directing films himself for decades. 'True Legend,' his 28th film, uses the familiar conventions of one man's redemption to showcase more stunning martial artistry, this time performed by the likes of international stars Michelle Yeoh ('Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon') and Gordon Liu ('Kill Bill Vol. 2,' 'The 36th Chamber of Shaolin'). Yuen Woo-Ping, who is being honored with a lifetime achievement award at the festival, will be in attendance for the film's U.S. premiere.

Charity is a weird thing. Organizations and hospitals depend on charitable donations to operate and do what they do, and meanwhile most of us just go on with our lives and assume someone "else" is doing it. A rich philanthropist must be keeping these organizations running, right? Well, yesterday I participated in something that proved that everyone can make a difference, we all just need to be prompted. The Extra Life day yesterday challenged gamers to play games for 24 hours, while asking for sponsorships. Gamers could organize into teams and choose which children's hospital in the Children's Miracle Network received their donations.
My work, Paragon Studios, put together a team and spent the day playing City of Heroes, D&D, League of Legends, Rock Band and Starcraft II among other games, all in the name of charity. At the end of the day Paragon raised over $7,000 (I said if we got over $5k I'd shave my beard, which I promptly did), and all of Extra Life raised over $1.1 million dollars! This was not simply a rich philanthropist but thousands and thousands of gamers and ordinary folk simply chipping in what they could. $5, $25, $100, $200, it all adds up people. You CAN make a difference in this world, my only wish is that we didn't need to do "events" to call attention to these things.
If this message strikes a cord with you, then I am here to inform you that it's not too late to donate. Simply click the "support me" button on this link. 100% of the funds raised go to the hospitals chosen by the teams, in this case, the Children's Hospital & Research Center of Oakland.

As uplifting as the tale of Scrooge itself, this is the story of how one writer and one book revived the signal holiday of the Western world. Just before Christmas in 1843, a debt-ridden and dispirited Charles Dickens wrote a small book he hoped would keep his creditors at bay. His publisher turned it down, so Dickens used what little money he had to put out "A Christmas Carol" himself. He worried it might be the end of his career as a novelist. The book immediately caused a sensation. And it breathed new life into a holiday that had fallen into disfavor, undermined by lingering Puritanism and the cold modernity of the Industrial Revolution. It was a harsh and dreary age, in desperate need of spiritual renewal, ready to embrace a book that ended with blessings for one and all. With warmth, wit, and an infusion of Christmas cheer, Les Standiford whisks us back to Victorian England, its most beloved storyteller, and the birth of the Christmas we know best. "The Man Who Invented Christmas" is a rich and satisfying read for Scrooges and sentimentalists alike. "From the Hardcover edition.. Price: $11.50

Newer programs and libraries (bugfixes, features, etc.). A little
more "bloat" (to support those features). Slack 12 runs just fine on
512MB RAM (I regularly use an Athlon2100 box w./ 512MB RAM); not sure
about the CPU, though.
If you have the space (or can buy a new drive), I'd recommend trying
Slack 12 on a separate partition. That way, its easy to revert if
things head south.

The web slices feature was introduced in IE8 and allows users to subscribe to content directly within a webpage. Web slices allow web site developers to deliver content to the user's browser no matter what the user is doing. When the content inside the web slice is modified, the user is notified through their Favorites bar and they can respond however they deem appropriate.
To define it, the element that encloses the region of the web slice needs to have the class 'hslice' and an unique id. Inside the web slice, items with the class 'entry-title' will represent the title in the web slice window. Also, items with the class 'entry-content' represent the actual content of the web slice.
For those that are interested, the checkin of this code is on the NerdDinner CodePlex site. Here is the markup we created for NerdDinner.com to make the Popular Dinners section of the site available as a web slice.
Popular Dinners
which looks like this when it's rendered on the page:
and looks like this in the Favorites bar:
The code added to the controller class to handle this behavior looks like this:
public ActionResult WebSlicePopular()
ViewData["Title"] = "Popular Nerd Dinners";
var model = from dinner in dinnerRepository.FindUpcomingDinners()
orderby dinner.RSVPs.Count descending
select dinner;
return View("WebSlice",model.Take(5));

Early 17th century (in the sense 'sour-tasting'): from Latin acidus, from acere 'be sour'.
Acid originally meant 'sour-tasting' and came from Latin acidus. The term seems to have been introduced by the scientist Francis Bacon, who in 1626 described sorrel as 'a cold and acid herb'. The chemical sense developed at the end of that century because most common acids taste sour. The acid test was originally a method of testing for gold using nitric acid. An object made of gold will show no sign of corrosion if immersed in nitric acid, unlike one made of another metal. By the late 19th century the expression had come to mean any situation that proves a person's or thing's quality. The Australian expression put the acid on, meaning 'to extract a loan or favour from', comes from acid test—the would-be borrower is seen as 'testing' their victim for resistance or weakness. Acrid (early 18th century) is from the related Latin acer 'sharp, pungent' with spelling influenced by acid.

"These Paper Bullets!: A Modish Ripoff of William Shakespeare's 'Much Ado About Nothing'" lives up to its frisky subtitle and then some.
This lively if overstretched show, which opened at the Geffen Playhouse on Wednesday, transplants the merry war between Beatrice and Benedick to London in the swinging '60s.
The stage is a kaleidoscope of miniskirts and go-go boots, beehives and mop tops, and more sex and drugs than anyone over 35 could possibly want or handle.
The rock 'n' roll, however, is just right: Green Day front man Bille Joe Armstrong, returning to the theater after his success

All the while, during the pitch, Jones says the rocker was mostly listening in silence.
"When I finished, he basically just stared at me," Jones recalls, "and said, 'Let me get this straight. You're going to rewrite Shakespeare, and I'm going to rewrite The Beatles.'"

Here are three reasons why you want this guitar from Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, donated directly from Billie Joe to raise money for the chimpanzees (his favorite chimp is Burrito):
1. It's a kick-ass guitar.
2. The guitar you will win isn't just out of the box from a store, it's the one that Billie Joe has been playing at home.
3. Billie Joe will be signing the guitar with a personalized signature TO YOU right before he ships it.
The guitar is the Billie Joe Armstrong ES-137 from Gibson Memphis with a Black Cherry Burst finish.

"Back then, I just wanted to write songs I could be proud of and be able to play in five years," Billie Joe Armstrong said last year of his attitude while creating Green Day's 1994 pop-punk breakthrough Dookie. The LP went on to sell millions and Armstrong — who didn't get the credit he deserved as a writer back in the days of more serious-minded bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam — has amassed one of the most impressive song books of the last 20 years.

Marietta water, sewer rates rising
December 18, 2013
Marietta's water and sewer rates are set to increase effective Jan....
Luvthesouth, it's 83 cents more per 100 cubic feet, with "the typical customer using 1000 cubic feet. That's $8.30 per my calculator.
I would like to be able to pay only for the water I use. We have water meters to record how much is actually used, but then the customer is put into a category of a minimum of 1000 cubic feet. It's the same with the trash removal contract. If I produce one gallon of trash, I'm still paying for 33 gallons of trash. If this was our electric or gas being charged like this, people wouldn't tolerate it.
Maybe it's time to go off the grid.

the additional $.83 is a bargain considering the value you get when you realize each cubic foot of water contains 7.48 gallons. try finding that value at Sam's club.

What price does one think is reasonable to pay per month to have clean water piped to their house??...

Question... Is the city makin money from the interest off of all of our water deposits? If I die... where will my deposit go? Most utilities keep your deposit for about a year, and then return it with added interest. Maybe I'll ask the mayor...

Simply put, the United States legislature was created to acknowledge the many problems and issues faced by people from all walks of life, and come up with sensible solutions that address the needs of most while preserving the rights of everybody. Then solutions are legislated into writing, in a way that's consistent with past legislation.
If your job is to develop software, the above description may sound weirdly familiar. Software engineers build systems that address certain specific needs (problem space) within certain specific restraints, like the confines of our operating system (or various other restrictions), while maintaining backward compatibility with older solutions (most of the time).
These days, we hear a lot about the dysfunctional state of the legislative system, the burden of over-regulation on American businesses, and the problems of money influence in the political system.Perhaps the software industry can teach the American legislature a few valuable lessons on addressing some of these challenges.
As a thought experiment, try to imagine what software would look like if it followed the legislative system's example. Following this analogy, our congressmen would be played by product managers, developers would play the role of bureaucrats who implement the laws, and the general public would be played by end users. Think about it. You'll see how quickly everything would unravel.
If software was built like laws:
- You'd fix bugs only by writing new code
- You'd never break backward compatibility
- You'd never, ever start over
- You wouldn't go back and refactor code in face of learning better ways to do things
- Your code would have an extreme case of coupling
- Your release cycle would be measured in years
- Product managers would claim they could come up with any and all possible future scenarios
- Product managers would come up with implementation details
- Product managers would put plenty of special case conditions for their "friends" in requirements
- Product managers would favor complexity over simplicity
- And on and on
Every person involved with software at this point will be tearing their hair out! This description can actually be applied to almost every software project that has failed. And yes, lawmaking is mishandled in a manner even worst than this.
The inefficacy of lawmaking isn't limited by Republican or Democrat party lines; both sides are equality to blame.
Congressmen – like product managers – should come up with high-level requirements and directions, leaving the implementation details to the regulators. This would lower the cost of implementing laws, and as regulators learn more about the system at the implementation level, it'd result in more agile adjustment of details. Plus, it'd even encourage analytical thinking and accountability, with the right metrics and KPIs defined.
Congress should also allow for resetting and refactoring every so often. Maybe automatically expire laws after a decade so we don't end up with irrelevant legacy laws that make zero sense in the present universe. Believe me, we have the concept of "tech debt" in our legislature as well.
Lastly, when implementation details aren't in the hands of product managers/legislators, it's a lot harder to hide favors for special interests in between the million lines of code.
So, here's to leaner legislation. Maybe we should start talking about minimum viable law!
