Canada's Jobless Rate Stays at 7.4 Percent, Government Says
Published: Friday, November 2, 2012 at 11:28 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 2, 2012 at 11:28 p.m.
Canada's strong job creation performance in recent months slowed to a crawl in October, as the economy added a meager 1,800 jobs and the unemployment rate remained at 7.4 percent, Statistics Canada reported Friday. The reporting agency said that employment in the private sector fell by 20,300 jobs. Those numbers were offset by strong gains of 36,900 in the public sector, while the self-employment category fell by 14,900. Economists had expected some softness in October after two stellar months in September and August that saw employment jump by 86,000.

Milner looks hot future property, he could be worth every penny of the 3 million pound asking price, I hear nothing but good about him, if he really is worth twice as much as Nobby Solano's We should somehow scrape the cash together for the transfere window, Who do you sell if we cant afford to buy I wonder?
In the end, if solano wanted to go, we couldn't do a thing about it, he would simply of waited his contract out til the summer and left no questions asked, at least we got some money back for him so he didnt go for nothing...Baros looks an excellent signing along with phillips so this will hopefully put some pressure on angel. imagine baros and an on form angel! hehe champions league here we come...unfortunatly things are never that simple with the villa...lets just hope baros becomes a yorke and not a balaban!up the villa!

Aerial Flight and Combat Techniques from a Real-Life Pilot
The aircraft is without a doubt the most difficult thing to master in BF1943.
Following are some techniques to help you survive while flying a plane in BF1943. These tips range from purely rudimentary to advanced. This guide will be using the Southpaw controller configuration with an inverted Y-axis as its reference. I highly recommend that you use this controller layout for flight if you have played any type of flight game before. It will make everything so much more natural, since you will control ailerons and pitch with one stick, and have a whole separate stick dedicated to the rudder. All this is explained below.
The Basics
To newcomers to the Battlefield series, flight sim vets like myself in particular, the default flight controls are going to be pretty awkward at first. Again, I can promise you that you will thank me later if you switch to Y-inverted Southpaw for flight. This will become apparent later as I explain the controls.
The Throttle:
The left-trigger controls your throttle. Unlike normal flight games, the throttle layout is the same as in a car. Instead of the accelerator sticking in one position until adjusted like in a real plane, the throttle in BF1943 must be constantly held in with the left index finger. This will become second nature after you practice with it a bit in the tutorial. Just remember that if you let go of the left trigger, your plane will eventually stall out and crash.
Ailerons (Rolling):
The x-axis on your left stick controls your plane's ailerons, responsible for rolling your aircraft. You can turn the aircraft by rolling the plane at an angle and letting the plane bank. Level the aircraft out to stop turning. Advanced techniques for turning combining the elevators and rudder will be discussed in a later section.
Elevators (Pitch)
The y-axis on your left stick controls your aircraft's elevators, responsible for controlling the attitude of your aircraft in relation to the ground. Use the elevators to ascend and descend.
Rudder (Yaw)
The x-axis on your right stick (again, assuming the more natural Southpaw layout) controls your airplane's rudder, the most neglected part of the aircraft by amateur pilots in BF1943. However, proper use of the rudder is EXTREMELY important if you want to be any good at dogfighting.
Advanced Turning Techniques
Now that you know the basic control scheme of your plane, let's discuss how to maneuver it like a pro. There are two main types of turns you can perform in BF1943. You can either combine the ailerons and the rudder, or you can execute a brake turn by combining the ailerons and the elevators. Both are explained further below.
The Brake Turn
A brake turn consists of rolling the aircraft on its side and pulling up on the flight yoke to achieve a tighter turn. To exercise this move effectively, it is important that you also let go of the throttle before pulling up to achieve a tighter turning radius. Use this maneuver when trying to shake an enemy plane off your tail.
Aileron/Rudder Turn
When I was in flight school, my instructor had a saying that I am now very fond of when explaining proper rudder use to new pilots: "Ailerons first, and then the rudder... never one without the other."
In order to properly line up targets in your sights, it is important that you use both the ailerons and the rudder when turning your aircraft. First roll your aircraft with the left stick, then push your right stick in the direction you want to go to turn the aircraft rapidly. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT TECHNIQUE YOU WILL EVER LEARN FOR DOGFIGHTING So many pilots ignore the rudder completely, and I laugh my ass off as I blast them into oblivion. If you use the rudder, you will be ten times as formidable in the air.
When you are turning using the rudder, use the pitch controls on the left stick's y-axis to keep your plane at the desired altitude and attitude. Attitude is your plane's nose's orientation in relation to the ground. It helps if you always keep the left stick down a bit while turning, as this will help to keep your plane's nose up without you having to think about it too much.
If you want to make a drastic change in your heading (your aircraft's compass direction of travel), or if you are trying to keep an enemy in your sights, use the aileron/rudder/elevator combo to achieve a rapid turn with aileron/rudder combo while keeping your craft at the desired pitch with the elevators.
In fact, avoid the brake turn wherever possible, favoring the aileron/rudder combo instead, Using the brake turn exposes your wings to anti-aircraft guns, and makes your aircraft move slower in relation to the sights of an AA gun, making you an easy target for forces on the ground. Furthermore, chasing an enemy with the brake turn aligns your bullet stream vertically. Keeping your aircraft horizontal with the rudder and ailerons makes it easier to land your shots on your target's wings.
The only place a brake turn is really worth doing is when you are shaking an enemy off your tail, for two reasons. First, it makes your aircraft align vertically, making your opponent's horizontal bullet stream less likely to hit you, assuming you aren't banked too much and exposing the broadside of your wings. Second, you get a tighter turning radius. While this may make you an easy target for flak guns, it will get you out of the sights of a tailing plane quickly.
Fighting Ground Targets
Evasive Action
It is important to be mindful of ground forces while flying a plane. Do not fall into the trap of only worrying about enemy planes. Flak guns can be a real bitch. I suggest memorizing the locations of all flak guns in the maps so you can avoid them where possible.
An important thing to remember about flak guns is that they cannot aim downwards. Therefore, it is a good idea to fly at sea level if you find yourself being shot at by one. It will take some practice to be able to fly at sea level for an extended period of time, but it will keep you safe from flak.
I myself have not yet mastered bombing, as it is the hardest part of using the aircraft properly. However, I will share what I do know. There are two main types of bombing you can do: horizontal bombing and dive-bombing.
Horizontal bombing is just like it sounds. You fly the plane horizontally and drop your bombs. There are two main pieces of advice I'll share with horizontal bombing. First, slow down before you drop a bomb. This will reduce the horizontal distance your bombs travel when leaving your plane. Second, drop bombs directly before you fly over your target, not as you are doing it. Like I said, your bombs do travel some additional horizontal distance after they leave the plane due to momentum, so getting that nuance of timing right is crucial. Finally, if you can master it (I haven't), pulling up right before dropping a bomb further reduces the horizontal distance traveled by your bombs by reducing the horizontal component of your aircraft's speed, exchanging it for vertical airspeed. However, the downside is that your bombs will spend more time in flight as they fall further, giving enemies more time to get out of the way.
Dive-bombing consists of taking your craft to a high elevation, hunting for a target, and then swooping down at a 90 degree angle and releasing your bombs right above the target. Two tips here. First, line up your targeting reticle slightly above your target, as your bombs will drop slightly below your aircraft's frame. Second, release your bombs as late as possible, as this will minimize the distance they wander in flight due to an imperfect angle of attack.
Using the Guns Properly
Two tips:
1. Wait until you are close to the enemy to fire. You don't want your guns to overheat at an inopportune moment.
2. Make sure you lead your target, meaning you fire a little in front of your target's flight path. In other words, don't fire at where your enemy is; fire at where he is about to be.
Advanced Combat Tips
1. Do not chase an enemy up into the clouds. Chances are they have a lower angle of climb than you do and can easily get out of the climb. You, on the other hand, probably are using a very steep angle to keep up, and will probably lose control of the plane, making you vulnerable to flak and fire from wingmen while you regain control. On the flipside, when being chased, climbing is a good way to escape when combined with the previously mentioned brake turn.
2. Shoot the enemy bombers when you can. This will make the lives of your compatriots on the ground a hell of a lot easier.
3. If you need to defend a flag quickly, you can kamikaze your plane into an enemy capturing tank, parachuting out just in time to stay alive and defend on foot.
4. Keep a lookout for enemy planes that are being abandoned above your bases. 100% of the time, this means that the enemy is inserting himself behind your lines to pincer you by taking a home base. Consider it your express responsibility as a pilot to detect and prevent that type of strategy. Pilotless airborne planes are ALWAYS a red flag of some paratrooper shenanigans.
5. Get a feel for the wingspan of each aircraft. It is important that you stay in cockpit view as much as possible, because your HUD will only alert you of enemy plane locations in this mode, meaning you will have to sacrifice an external view and increased kinesthetic awareness for knowledge of the enemy. Make up for it by knowing your aircraft and its wingspan so you can avoid trees and lighthouses without seeing your craft.
6. Do not drop bombs while banked. They will fall sideways. Make sure your craft is leveled out horizontally before attempting a bombing run.

Nice guide! I managed to get good at piloting the planes in BF1943 but it looks very helpful, well done!
Though, a lot of the basics of aerial combat apply to all games. Main thing is to know that you turn tighter when you throttle down. There are a surprising number of people that don't know that.
When I used to play Star Wars Galaxies, I would smoke people in space combat just by finding the sweet spot on the throttle for the tightest turning radius... you can't go too fast or too slow, there's an optimum speed right in the middle that makes you turn very very quickly on most flight games.
It's all about finding the optimum balance between thrust power and cutting your inertia.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that HAWX is a fighter jet game. A lot of the rules for prop planes don't apply so much to jet aircraft.

excellent guide, ive learnt a lot for myself from trial and error at great expense, but this guide really narrows down on the finer points of the planes. Out of curiosity, how many people favour the cockpit viewpoint over the third person view. I personally cannot for the life of me use the plane in third person! For me its a streamline to suicide.
something i found handy in this guide is the advice on turns near the aa guns. i did wonder why i could rarely get past without getting shot down, but it seems ive been using the brake turn near them. advice heeded! chocks away old beans!

Ya im pretty good in the cockpit view of the plane but if i go to the 3rd person view. i cant turn that thing at all hahaha. but these are some great pointers
Sorry to necropost, but a little more about what to do if you have an enemy on your tail... under no circumstances should you do try rolling repeatedly to dodge bullets or pulling an immelman (what Star Fox refers to as a U-turn). Rolling in place at best will decrease the rate at which you die; pulling an immelman will likely get you stuck in a stall, allowing your enemy to blow you away while the broadside of your wingspan is exposed. Instead, you might be better off diving while aileron/rudder turning.

I found one comment hysterical, because I thought it was common sense but I guess people actually don't use their rudder when turning...lol

Bear Hug? Jury to Get Fraud Case Soon
With all the bustling around Thursday on the blockbuster Galleon hedge-fund news, one could almost be forgiven for forgetting about the other big hedge-funders in trouble — the Bear Stearns duo currently in the midst of their fraud trial over in Brooklyn.
The NYT has a report out Friday on how just how things are shaping up over there. According to the story, federal prosecutors spent nearly three hours on Thursday things up with their closing remarks. The gist of the argument is simple: the pair, Ralph Cioffi and Matthew Tannin (pictured) knew their funds were in trouble in the spring of 2007 and had lied to investors.
"If you are trusted with other people's money on Wall Street, you can't defraud them," said AUSA Ilene Jaroslaw, to the jury. Cioffi and Tannin acted like "masters of the universe" and "thought the laws and rules applied to everyone else but them," she added. Click here for earlier LB coverage of the Bear Stearns trial.
The case is the first against prominent Wall Street executives charged with fraud stemming from the financial crisis. But it hasn't gone entirely well for the government. Government evidence has been ruled in admissible; government witnesses have provided testimony not entirely helpful to the government's case.
Much of the government's case has focused on emails sent by the defendants. But Williams & Connolly's Dane Butswinkas, Cioffi's main lawyer, said prosecutors have taken the e-mail out of context and provided "misleading sound bites" to try to prove a criminal conspiracy when there was none. According to the NYT, Butswinkas said the details of the strategies used by the two hedge funds run by the men and the context of the communications from Cioffi and Tannin raised doubts about the prosecution's case.
"If you look at some of the tactics I just showed you, do they make you pause?" Mr. Butswinkas asked the jury. "If they would, then that's reasonable doubt." Butswinkas is expected to continue his closing remarks on Friday followed by a statement by Tannin's lawyers. The case would then head to the jury.
On Thursday, reports the Times, Cioffi "seemed confident he would be exonerated as he chatted with family members and friends before closing statements."

Recent hacks on my blog have prompted me to upgrade to 2.6.1 and install a $_Post logging facility.
Within 12 hours of installation, I captured a hacking attempt! The first entry with the suspect IP was:
file = ZWNobyAnYmxpYV9ibGlhX2pvb3AnOyBleGl0Ow==
The second was:
file = [an impossibly long string of characters]
There were two other attempts immediately following the one I looked at, with the same IP; I did not investigate, or even compare the character strings.
I will divulge the [impossibly long string of characters] to anybody who can prove they are full member of the WordPress development team, but if I could capture it within 12 hours, I suspect that those who need to know about it are way ahead of me!
Putting the string through an on-line base64_decode() utility resulted in the unveiling of an "outer hack" and an "inner hack".
The "inner hack" simply sets the variable $fake to a base64 encoded version of what appears (to my untrained eye) to be an innocuous RSS feed. The "outer hack":
- defines some nasty looking constants
- Sets "$txt=get_option('rss_f541b3abd05e7962fcab37737f40fad8');"
- Performs other operations
- Incorporates (or replaces?) $txt with $fake
- Calls "update_option('rss_f541b3abd05e7962fcab37737f40fad8',base64_decode($txt));"
- Runs "$wpdb->query("UPDATE $wpdb->users SET
user_pass='".md5($PP[1])."' WHERE
I have 14 of these funny 'rss_XXX' options in my wp_options table, but I do not have any 'user_login' = 'WordPress' in my wp_users table, so I'm not sure what's going on with that one.
Anyway ... I'm deleting all the "rss_XXX" entries from my 'wp_options' table, in accordance with this post. But I would like to be assured that
- filenames of such extreme length are rejected by an editor prior to doing anything
- I will be notified by the WordPress software of such attempts in future versions of the software

"A community meeting in Westport, Massachusetts exemplified the best in America" words written by local summer resident and political strategist, Peter Fenn, which appeared on his US News & World Report blog on May 7, 2014. A brilliantly written piece that demonstrates how fortunate we are to be allowed to be part of the democratic process and make decisions for our town. As a lifelong resident of Westport, I attend town meeting because I agree with his words wholeheartedly.
On that beautiful Saturday though I had a few questions, "Where was everyone?" A little over 200 people attended; we have over 11,000 registered voters in this town. "Where were the parents to stand besides their educators that were fighting for the schools?" The town meeting was moved to a Saturday to make it more convenient. School sport games were postponed. A thoughtful and respectful decision to postpone the start was made, out of respect for one of our beloved community members taken to soon. Of course, respectively, some needed more than a delay to be with their families; for those this letter is not. Rather this is about how our attendance is typically this amount, barely an increase from the previous year or any year.
Peter Fenn wrote of the educators that plead for level services, "They weren't about to give up or give in". Yet these "impassioned" educators only had a handful of parents that heard their plea. In a community that is so beautiful, we have a dark side; we don't come out to evoke our rights. We have weak attendance at the polls and even weaker at town meeting. As a parent of school aged children, school issues are often what beckon me to town meeting but I am often without my peers. Plenty of parents are on the ball fields at every game. Dramatic lines of cars dropping/picking up at schools. At town meeting and the polls; a tiny fraction.
Once again, schools are fighting for survival. They are fighting simply for level services so they don't have to make more cuts to programs and teachers. Our teachers are paid the lowest in the area; between $10,000-20,000 less for the same step/lane. We have far less programs than we did even just five years ago due to this constant slicing and lack of support. In the last few years, gone are technology teachers, foreign language programs, late buses, art/music classrooms, HS marching band, math teams, various sports & clubs, the list goes on and on. Due to rising costs of services, a budget that doesn't match, a failed override last month, they will fight again but will anyone be fighting beside them? or will we lose even more?
Quite simply, we don't pass overrides in this town. Especially for schools. The good news is we could. We have 1,626 students enrolled in our schools. Assuming there are two parents/guardians for each child than we have 3,252 voters that are direct stakeholders in supporting schools and that's not counting their grandparents, uncles, cousins. Our last failed override had a total of 3,420 which was a high turnout. Often a finger is pointed at "old timers" "summer people" voting against the schools but the real culprit is the parents who rely on the schools yet do nothing to support. We could win most votes for schools, if we just united and stepped up to bat. Make history, get involved, & vote for your children.

Longmont, Colo. (AP) Seven people are out of their homes and have been decontaminated after a meth lab was discovered in their Longmont apartment building.
The six-unit building was emptied Friday after tests revealed contamination from a meth lab discovered in a basement apartment there a week before.
Seven adults were taken to a fire station for decontamination. Their pets six cats, two dogs and a bird were taken to a local humane society for boarding while the apartment building can be made safe.
Among the decontaminated residents was 42-year-old Stephen Derr, a maintenance worker at the complex who was arrested last week on suspicion of using the lab to make methamphetamines.

Skill Level Intermediate
Now what if you want have a video portfolio? Well, it's going to be set up in a similar fashion as an image portfolio would be set up, in that you are going to have thumbnails that serve as buttons that then change content in the main area. So that's how this is set up. I have these thumbnails on the side, and I want them to play the appropriate video right in here. So first thing I am going to do is make sure these are buttons. Currently, they are just movie clips.
So I am just going to click and drag this movie clip into the LIBRARY, and I convert it to a Symbol, and I am just going to call this vid button. I am going to make sure it says Button as the Type, select OK. Same thing for this second thumbnail, vid button, and this is vid button 2. I am going to make sure the Type is button, select OK, and now they are buttons, but now I have to give them specific names. I am going to refer to these names in the ActionScript.
So let me just go ahead and minimize that LIBRARY panel, because with this first button selected, I am going to go the PROPERTIES panel, and for the Instance Name, I am going to type in vid1_btn. So that's the first button's Instance Name. Second button is going to follow the same format, vid2_btn, just like that. And now I am going to go ahead and make this first button work. So vid1 button, in fact, I am going to do a Command+C to copy that. All right.
I do have this empty LAYER down here, so I will just delete that by hitting that trashcan, and I want to make a new LAYER at the top, and I am just going to call AS, for ActionScript. I am going to select that first frame. I am going to open up my Actions panel, and the first thing I am going to do is just Pin my code by selecting that Push Pin. Now my code will always stay up, regardless of what I have selected. All right. So I am going to type in a comment, and I am going to Listen for the buttons to be clicked on, and then I am going to do something.
If I do a Command+V, there is my vid1_btn. I need to add an EventListener for this button. So again, as soon as it highlights, you can hit Return, and it will add it. Now I can add the Type. The Type, well, it's going to be MouseEvent.CLICK, so I am listening for the click of this button, and I am going to add a comma. So once this is clicked on, I need to go ahead and reference a function.
So the function I am going to make is going to be playvid), parenthesis to close it, semicolon, and now I can go ahead and create my function, playvid. It is going to accept a MouseEvent. And I can kind of tab through, I am just using my arrow keys to select MouseEvent, and this is the structure for a basic function. Within these two curly braces, is what it is going to execute when you click on this button.
So what I need to do is when you click on the button, I want to change the Source of this video. Okay, but notice this video is actually inside of a movie clip, so I have just minimized this ACTIONS panel just by clicking on that gray bar, kind of move it down out of the way, so I can select this movie clip. So in order to target this movie clip, I need to give this movie clip an Instance Name. I am just going to call it myVideoPlayer.
myVideoPlayer, so I am going to do a Command+C to copy that. I am going to paste it right in my code. MyVideoPlayer., well, I am just referencing the movie clip, I am not - if I minimize this again, I am not pointing to that FLV component yet. So I need to double-click to enter inside of that movie clip. And I need to select that FLV. So now I need to give this FLV component an Instance Name as well. So myFLV, technically, it is the FLV playback component, but I do want to remember this, in fact, I will copy it, Command+C. Go back to my ACTIONS panel.
I will open that up and then paste it right in there. So myVideoPlayer.myFLV. I am targeting the right thing. Now, I need to change its Source. So I will do a period and type in Source and I am going to make it equal to the appropriate video. All right. Well, where is that video? Well let us take a look. If I go out to my video folder, I can see that this newport.flv is what I want to target. So again, I am right here. I want to go into the video folder and target that newport.flv, so let me go back and right within these Quotes, video/newport.flv. All right.
I need to do one more thing, because I want to make sure it plays as well, I can change the Source, but I am not telling it to play yet. Well, I am just going to copy this and paste it below, because not only am I changing the Source, I am also going to tell it to play. Now, I am going to go ahead and test this, Control>Test Movie, so when I click on this thumbnail, it's going to change the Source of this file and then it's going to play it. (Movie Playing) Great, works like a charm. In fact, I want to do the same thing for this thumbnail as well, but the first thing I need to do is I need to make sure that video exists.
So I am going to go to my Assets folder, into video, and I am going to take this tahoe.flv, and I am just going to right- click, and Copy it, and I am going to go ahead and put it in the appropriate folder, right where the newport.flv file is. So again, it's in the same location, so I can go back into Flash, and I want to do the same thing for vid2_btn. So it's really just a matter of copying all this code, Command+C, and then pasting it below.
Now, I can start changing the Instance Name to vid2_btn, and playvid2, which calls this function, playvid2, and now I can change the Source to tahoe. It's that easy. It's just copying that code and pasting it again for the second thumbnail, and now when I click the second one, (Video playing) it plays that video. I can come back to this first one and play it. (Video Playing) So from here, I can add as many thumbnails as I want for however many videos I have, so you could really start to build out your portfolio.
But again, Flash makes it easy. It's just a matter of adding EventListeners, just like you would, any other button.

More PXE Magic
In this article, I've decided to follow up on a topic I wrote about not in my column directly, but as a feature article called "PXE Magic" in the April 2008 issue. In that article, I talk about how to set up a PXE server from scratch, including how to install and configure DHCP and TFTP. Ultimately, I even provide a basic pxelinux configuration to get you started. Since then, PXE menus with pxelinux have become more sophisticated and graphical and could seem a bit intimidating if you are new to it. In this column, I explain how to piggyback off of the work the Debian and Ubuntu projects have done with their PXE configuration to make your own fancy PXE menu without much additional work. I know not everyone uses Debian or Ubuntu, so if you use a different distribution, hold off on the angry e-mail messages; you still can use the PXE configuration I'm showing here for your distro, provided it gives some basic examples of how to PXE boot its installer. Just use these steps as a launching off point and tweak the PXE config to work for you.
Simple Ubuntu PXE Menu
If this is your first time configuring a PXE server, for the first step, I recommend following my steps in the "PXE Magic" article to install and configure DHCP and TFTP. Otherwise, if you have existing servers in place, just make sure that DHCP is configured to point to your TFTP server (if it's on the same machine, that's fine). And, if you already have any sort of pxelinux configuration in your tftpboot directory, I recommend that you back it up and move it out of the way—I'm going to assume that your entire /var/lib/tftpboot (or /tftpboot on some systems) directory is empty to start with. For the rest of this article, I reference /var/lib/tftpboot as the location to store your PXE configuration files, so if you use /tftpboot, adjust the commands accordingly.
Both Debian and Ubuntu provide a nice all-in-one netboot configuration for each of their releases that makes it simple to PXE boot a particular release yourself. The file is called netboot.tar.gz and is located in a netboot directory along with the rest of the different install images. For instance, the netboot.tar.gz for the i386 Ubuntu 12.04 release (named Precise) can be found at http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz.
To get started,
cd to your tftpboot directory, and
then use
wget to pull
down the netboot.tar.gz file (I'm assuming you'll need root permissions
for all of these steps, so I'm putting
sudo in front
of all of my commands),
and then extract the tarball:
$ cd /var/lib/tftpboot
$ sudo wget http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/
$ sudo tar xzf netboot.tar.gz
$ ls
netboot.tar.gz pxelinux.0 pxelinux.cfg
↪ubuntu-installer version.info
As the
ls command shows, an ubuntu-installer directory was created
along with pxelinux.0 and pxelinux.cfg symlinks that point inside
that ubuntu-installer directory to the real files. Without performing
any additional configuration, provided your DHCP and TFTP servers were
functioning, you could PXE boot a server with this configuration and get
a boot menu like the one shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Ubuntu Precise PXE Boot Menu
Ubuntu has taken the extra steps of theming its PXE menu with its color scheme and even provided a logo. Unlike the PXE menu I demoed in my previous "PXE Magic" article, this menu functions more like a GUI program. You can use the arrow keys to navigate it, the Enter key to select a menu item and the Tab key to edit a menu entry.

Preseed Enhancement
If you wanted to add a preseed file for installation to a headless server, what would you add?
In the given append example you'd do the following:
append vga=788 initrd=ubuntu-installer/i386/initrd.gz auto url=http://serverhostingyourpreseedfile/preseedfile.cfg -- quiet
As for the actual preseed file itself, here's an excellent reference for Precise's preseed file:

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

Bought this sewing machine to use with my Hinterberg frame and it is perfect. I am new to quilting and didn't want to break the bank and this was a perfect compromise. Having a little trouble with the needle threaded but with practice I think I can master it. Sew Vac was the best price and I was able to secure a coupon for even more savings and it arrived when it was suppose to. Overall very happy. Thanks.

I have just used it as a sewing machine so far and it is wonderful. When my quilting frame arrives I will get it set up with that and try it out. I am sure it will work great since it sews great.

He swears it was his nerves getting to him and that he should never have drunk so much and didn't really mean all the things he said. None of my family is interested in his grovelling apology.
A It's really unfortunate that this had to happen but the damage is done now and it's time to work on making amends. You have found yourself in the difficult position of middleman, and it will surely test your skills as a mediator.
I would advise you to request a family meeting and apologise profusely on your boyfriend's behalf, explaining that too much alcohol was had and he is extremely sorry for hurting their feelings. Following that I would suggest that your boyfriend writes apology letters to all family members involved, and, if he can afford to, arrange for bunches of flowers to be sent to them. It must be cleared up as soon as possible to avoid grudges being held indefinitely.
Q My New Year's resolution is the same as it has been for the past four years and ever since we started fertility treatment -- to have a baby. It feels like the world is full of babies and happy parents, and there is a huge glass wall keeping us on the other side of this happiness.
We're in our mid-30s and people keep saying we have plenty of time but this just makes me feel 10 times worse. I've always wanted to experience being pregnant, and feel my real life is on hold -- my life as a mum.
I'm struggling to stay positive in a world full of happy babies and smiling mums.
A I wish that I could wave a magic wand and make your wish come true, but sadly life is not that simple. The best advice I can possibly give you is to keep on persevering and try your best to stay positive. I can appreciate how devastating it must be to have to see other happy families in everyday life, but I strongly advise you to continue to explore every possible avenue to conceive and keep healthy, strong and fit to give yourself the best chance.
It's also important to focus on all the freedom and opportunities that come with being childless. Aim to keep your mindset optimistic, ensure you and your husband continue to support each other, and don't give up hope.
QI am on a diet and really would appreciate any tips you can give me on resisting temptation. I just love food, and find preparing food, cooking and eating, just about the most pleasurable thing in life. It's why at age 21, I'm a good size 16. But not for much longer!
I'm determined to lose some weight, but while I start off each day with great intentions, by the time the afternoon comes around I am thinking of pasta with chicken and chorizo in a creamy red pepper sauce, and all my willpower starts to go out the window. Please help me get thin!
AThere is unfortunately no instant solution to getting the body of your dreams and maintaining it, but your focus should be on changing your whole lifestyle at a pace that best suits you.
This means developing a way of healthy eating which you can maintain in the long-term, incorporating at least 30 minutes of aerobic and resistance exercise five to six times a week, drinking sufficient amounts of water and working on finding hobbies and interests that don't involve eating or drinking.
I strongly advise that you work on eliminating or greatly reducing dairy, wheat products, red meat, sugar, excess salt, alcohol and caffeine. Try to focus on filling up on leafy greens, and a wide array of colourful fruit and vegetables.
Rather than entirely avoiding fats, try a handful of nuts and seeds every day, plus a little avocado. Try to stay positive and motivated and to make these changes at your own pace. Good luck!

Looking From Afar
In my previous post, I wrote about the macroscopic work that I do. Whilst this is without doubt one of my favourite types of photography and, 9 times out of 10, you'll find me with a macro-capable lens attached to the front of my camera, it is also not the only type of photography that I both do and enjoy. As such, this post will take a sample of some of the landscape photography that I have done.
London by Night - london, uk
Golden Gate Bridge - San francisco, usa
Nanaimo bay - Nanaimo, canada
I've always been very keen on macroscopic photography, taking photos of insects, textures and anything else that would normally be too small to get a good look at. Here are a few of my favourites from when I was first starting out up until quite recently, along with whatever I can remember about when I took them.
New Year, New Site, New Name
It has been a long time since I last did any proper photography so I thought it was about time for a bit of a shake up!
As such, B Taberham Photography has become Taberham Imaging, a new name for my new site which aims to be more of an active project than a portfolio.
To reflect this, the blog now takes centre stage and the portfolio takes a bit more of a back seat (don't worry though, you can still find it here)
To celebrate my new site and to bring us into the new year, here is a little selection of some of my favourite images from the past few year!
