Im sorry to say this but you dont know what you are talking about. Does the 335 make magical HP that is different then other cars? Or does the chassis magically float on air just above the ground? You do realize power is what makes it hard to get traction down. As they up the power they will be faced with traction issues. This is what happened with the E46 M3, nobody has gotten the chance or had the will to go out there and give it all it has. This requires very big tires, a good track and good driver. Not once has the entire combination been exploited. It does look like the 335 crowd has some type of energy regarding getting times which is great. But it doesnt mean the 335 is an HPF M3 killer...

Ripoff Report
Therma Tru1750 Indian Wood Circle Maumee, Ohio USA
Therma Tru Therma Tru refused to warranty my 6 year old door that warped and cracked Maumee Ohio
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I bought a Therma Tru fiberglass door 6 years ago. Last winter the door cracked and warped allowing air to blow around the door. I contacted therma tru and filed a warranty claim form as I was directed, including pictures of the door. I could only get pictures of the crack along the door handle, the warping needs to be seen in person.
After several attempts, Brian Snead spoke to me and said they were not honoring the lifetime warranty as it looked from
my pictures that I had abused the door. I told him I definetly had not abused the door unless he thought that opening and closing it several times a day was abuse. I asked him to at least send someone to my house to see how the door had warped and he has refused.
I believe that a good fiberglass door should last more than 6 years without warping. And I want to warn other people of how Therma Tru does not stand behind their product!

Its almost Census day. I wonder how many real people live like that. I imagine Tent City has a Mayor. I bet there is some sort of tax collection and protective system as any society would have. City council can't really believe that is they make a law these people will just evaporate. They are people, they have survival instincts.

The mayor of tent city just a figurehead, they still use the archaic city manager form of government.

Strikers all but halted road, rail and air services in Spain on Thursday as part of a one-day general strike against austerity measures imposed by Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's recently elected conservative government. Nine people were injured and at least 58 arrested, according to the Interior Ministry.
Rajoy's reforms are designed to save tens of billions of euros amid an ongoing economic crisis, but it is unclear how the effort will reduce Spanish unemployment, which is the highest in the EU.
Follow The Guardian's rolling coverage of the strike here. —ARK
With the EU's highest rate of unemployment, Spain is under pressure to reduce its budget deficit and bring its public finances under control.
"The question here is not whether the strike is honoured by many or few, but rather whether we get out of the crisis," the country's Finance Minister Cristobal Montoro said.
"That is what is at stake, and the government is not going to yield."
Strike supporters take to the streets in the northwest city of Pontevedra.

Ripping Models From Directx9 Games Part 3 – Making Use Of Exported Data
If you read part 2 of this series, you have yourself a bunch of indices and vertices for 3d geometry in a game. The question now is, how are you going to do anything with them? That's where this final part of the tutorial comes in. Here we turn the geometry vertex data into a usable format- Wavefront OBJ, which is a format that is readily understood by most 3D modeling software.
[OBJ Format]
OBJ format is composed of a string representation of the various vertex coordinates of the geometry. At its most basic form, all you need to have to have a conforming obj file is a series of vertices represented with the letter "v" followed by the vertex coordinates, and a series of faces represented by the letter "f" followed by two or three indices which identify the vertices which compose that particular face. It is worth noting that for obj format purposes you start counting the vertices from 1 as opposed to 0. Thus, the following obj file:
v -1 0 1
v 3 0 1
v 1 0 1
f 1 2 3
represents a triangle composed of vertices (-1,0,1), (3,0,1), (1,0,1).
[Turning Intercepted Buffer Data Into OBJ]
In part 2 of this article we talked about getting access to the raw index and vertex data needed to capture the game's 3d geometry. Turning that data into a usable obj file is actually quite simple if we keep in mind a couple of considerations. First, the index values you get from the game's index buffers might not start from 1, and the values may not have any logical relationship to each other. Theoretically you could have index_buffer[0] = 300, index_buffer[1] = 50, etc. If we were to use these values to populate the faces in our OBJ file, we would end up with either a file with invalid indices, or a file that does not accurately represent our geometry. For this reason, the first thing you should do is create a mapping between the in game index values, and index values starting from 1.
[TriangleLists v. TriangleStrips]
As you can see, obj format is basically a triangle list representation of the geometry. So if you have a model that is being rendered using a triangle list, all that is required is that you dump each vertex preceded by a "v" character, and all the faces preceded by a "f" character like so:
HRESULT WINAPI PopulateTriangleList(UINT PrimCount, string filename, UINT StartIndex, UINT MinIndex, INT BaseVertexIndex, UINT NumVertices, WORD * indices, void * verts) { int f = 0; for(int i = StartIndex; i < StartIndex+PrimCount*3; i++) { vertex v = GetVertex(indices[i]+BaseVertexIndex, verts); if(!VertContains(v)) { vertex_vec.push_back(v); out << "v " << v.x << " " << v.y << " " << v.z << endl; } vmap[indices[i]+BaseVertexIndex] = GetIndex(v); } for(int i = StartIndex; i < StartIndex+PrimCount*3; i++) { if(f % 3 == 0) out << endl << "f "; out << vmap[indices[i]+BaseVertexIndex] << " "; f++; } return 0; }
If your model is being rendered from a triangle strip, then you have to rebuild the missing vertices and faces. The code looks like this:
HRESULT WINAPI PopulateTriangleStrip(UINT PrimCount, string filename, UINT StartIndex, UINT MinIndex, UINT BaseVertexIndex, UINT NumVertices, WORD * indices, void * verts) { int f = 0; int count =0; for(int i = StartIndex; i < StartIndex+PrimCount; i++) { vertex v = GetVertex(indices[i]+BaseVertexIndex, verts); if(!VertContains(v)) { vertex_vec.push_back(v); out << "v " << v.x << " " << v.y << " " << v.z << endl; } vmap[indices[i]+BaseVertexIndex] = GetIndex(v); } //build initial face out << "f " << vmap[indices[StartIndex]+BaseVertexIndex] << " " << vmap[indices[StartIndex+1]+BaseVertexIndex] << " " << vmap[indices[StartIndex+2]+BaseVertexIndex] << endl; //skip the first 3vertices since we already used them to lay the first face //Go from the fourth vertice until primitiveCount+2 (since we skipped the first two vertices, we need to add //to the primcount to get all the faces in the model for(int i = StartIndex+3; i < StartIndex+PrimCount+2; i++) { out << "f "; out << vmap[indices[i-2]+BaseVertexIndex] << " "; out << vmap[indices[i-1]+BaseVertexIndex] << " "; out << vmap[indices[i]+BaseVertexIndex] << endl; } return 0; }
And that's pretty much it, if you run into a model rendered from a triangle fan, or a line, or point or whatever you're on your own. I haven't had to deal with any of that yet, but I am sure it should not be too hard to deal with.
This series pretty much covers all there is to implementing a selective 3d model ripper. In the future I might write an article on how to dump an entire frame with all the models in it, as opposed to dumping selective models. If you want to see a working project with source that implements what has been discussed here, checkout this project. I might also put together something for directx10 and 11, and OpenGL in the near future.

Analogue Life Video Tip: Make a Timelapse Video of Someone Making Analogue Art!2013-04-11 8 Share Tweet
Still looking for that bright idea for a clip or video to submit to the Analogue Life Video Contest? Maybe you can ask the help of your amazing artsy friend to show the world how the analogue way never fails to fascinate!
In case you've forgotten or haven't heard yet, the Analogue Life Video Contest that Lomography tied up with the upcoming Film Photography Day is still ongoing, and you still have a lot of time to make and submit your own brilliant video showing the joys of living the analogue life!
Since Lomography is looking for something crazy, mind-blowing, and inspiring, one thing you can do is to showcase someone's (you or a friend) rad analogue art skills by making a timelapse video!
Remember Patrick Vale, the guy who drew the lower half of New York City entirely by hand as he saw it from the Empire State Building? Yes, you read it right! It might have taken him several days to finish the whole drawing, but in the timelapse video below, you can watch the artist at work as he completes segment by segment of the drawing.
So, if you also have some impressive drawing or analogue art making skills (or have a friend who does), maybe you could give this tip a try!
How do you make your life a little bit more analogue with each day's passing? Aside from these Analogue Day Activities we've been sharing, why don't you inspire your fellow lomographers as we inch closer to the worldwide Film Photography Day celebrations and share with us your own stories? Remember, you can also schedule your own meet-ups for the big event, show your analogue life through an awesome video, and profess your love for all things analogue with some of your best snaps!

My suggestions to improve steam
Some of these already have threads but im just going to put it all here instead of bumping several threads.
Remove restrictions on purchasing 4 packs
Steam should be changed so that if you already own a game you can purchase a 4 pack and give all 4 copies away as gifts. Sometimes its too difficult to get all your friends to get a game so its just worth buying them when they go on sale. You should be able to do this any number of times so that a user could buy two 4 packs of the same game so everyone has it at a LAN party.
Also, a user should have the option (when they don't own the game) of purchasing a 4 pack and gifting all 4 copies. The gaming demographic is old and diverse enough that some people might want to do this, for example a father or parent would purchase a 4 pack of games for his kids or family members that he personally wouldn't play. Basically there shouldn't be any restrictions on purchases so that it covers everyones use scenerios.
Android app
I know this has been requested before. It would be great to be able to chat with friends on Android from steam so that I could get them to join in on a gaming session.
Have steam remember ages/removing age verification screen
It would be great if I could just have my birthdate and age tied to me steam account permanently so that I don't always have to enter my age when viewing the store page of a M rated game.
Being able to recommend a game you don't own on steam/indicate games you don't own on steam
I would like to be able to recommend a game to my friends that I don't own on Steam. I'm a multiplatform gamer, which means I typically buy a game on its original platform (ie not the port). So if I get it on 360 I can't recommend it. However I know some people who are exclusively PC gamers that I want to recommend games to. Also, people buy games from other stores like Amazon. Take Mass Effect 2 for example, if you own it on 360 or Origin you can't recommend it in steam.
I would also like to be able to indicate to my friends that I own PC games not on steam. Often you want to buy games your friends own and will look through their libraries as you consider making your purchase. For example, I bought Grid thinking that some of my friends already owned it, but when I checked their libraries only some of them had it, and the others didn't because they bought the retail version way back when. Had I not known that some of my friends owned this it would be less likely for me to purchase it as the steam page would only show some of my friends who own it. And again people purchase games on Origin and Amazon and other places.
Support storing games on multiple storage locations
I remember before I installed windows the most recent time I had Steam and my games on the same drive as windows and eventually when that became full I was unable to move some of my games to a new HDD as they all had to be on the same drive as the steam install. This is problematic for some users who want to upgrade to SSDs and have the benefits of quick loading times for the steam install and your go to games on your primary SSD drive (which are only cheap in capacities less than 120 gigs or so) AND having your entire library of steam games installed on a larger HDD.
price reduction notifications
It would be great if steam could notify me any time a game on my wishlist was reduced in price or goes on sale. If this could actually replace the popup ads it would be great.
Game sorting options for multiple computers
I have two computers. On my desktop, my primary gaming PC, they are organized into favorites, not played, not installed, Valve, and games. This organization is not particularly usefull on my laptop as many games from all of those categories won't run on it. It would be better if I could just organize them into "will run on my laptop" and "other".
Give duplicate copies for Valve games when a user already owns them
If a user already owns a game (ie Half Life) and purchases a package that includes it (ie the orange box or valve complete pack) they should get gift copies of all the games they already own. I understand that it might be difficult to do this for other packs as its hard to get developers and publishers on board, but you should at least do it for your own games.
Thats my feedback, hope you guys put it to good use,

Brookwater Ventures Inc.'s wholly owned Brazilian subsidiary, Agua Grande Exploracao e Producao de Petroleo Ltda., agreed with partners to run production casing to a total depth of 2,698 m (8,851 ft) to test oil and gas shows in the 1-MAC-1-BA well on Block REC-T-166, Reconcavo Basin, Brazil.
The 1-MAC-1-BA well had a strong gas kick during penetration at the top of the Gomo Member shales of the Candeias formation. Log and sample analysis identified that oil stained sandstone interbeds were responsible for the gas kick. Within the 500-m (1,640-ft) Gomo shale sequence in the well, several potential hydrocarbon zones of interest have been identified including a 10-m (32-ft) fractured shale interval. This fractured shale interval has produced light oil in analogous wells along trend. Openhole image logs have confirmed the presence of fractures and this interval will be tested through casing.
The primary targets in the well, the pre-rift Agua Grande and Sergi sandstones, will be tested through casing based on good oil staining in chip samples to confirm formation fluid type.
Brookwater has 30% working interest in the block; Sonangol Starfish Oil & Gas S.A., 40%; and Somoil Internacional de Petroleo do Brasil Ltda.; 30%.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I am currently being sued out of state in two different counties in California for internet Libel by two of my uncles at the same time, I don't meet minimum contacts for CA and I have filed a motion to Quash on grounds of personal jurisdiction on the first summons but was hit with another Summons after one uncle republished the libel and mailed it to another uncle. Should I file a motion to quash on the other Summons or should i file a notice of related case or should I file both?? If both Uncles are aware of both lawsuits then shouldn't they have to file the notices??
A notice of related case won't substitute for a motion to quash the second summons. You need to act quickly so that your time for that second motion does not run. It does not matter who files the notice of related case, nor does it even matter if the notice is filed. The court may or may not consolidate the cases, depending on a variety of factors.
At least as important is that you need to assess whether either or both cases - if they go forward beyond a motion to quash - are subject to an anti-SLAPP motion to strike the complaint. Such a motion is a powerful tool for a defamation defendant; if you win the plaintiffs will be ordered to pay some of your attorneys fees, and even if you lose, you can tie up the case at the Court of Appeal for years (assuming that the motion has merit).
You should consult with a litigation or appellate attorney asap.

Because I don't live, visit,have any contacts or do business in California, nor did the statement of the alleged event that is being questioned happen in California I feel pretty strong that the Personal Jurisdiction will suffice in both cases. If it doesn't work then I will file a notice for related case and go that route I guess. after weeks of reading California civil law statutes and precedent setting cases on internet libel I just can't fathom how they would have Jurisdiction over me over one statement. According to the Calders Effect I would have had to made reference to the State of California in my defamation statement, which I did not. I'm also concerned that hiring an attorney in California would be grounds for California to say that I had met minimum contacts by hiring interstate legal services.
Personal jurisdiction defects in a complaint are attacked initially by a motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction. Jurisdictional concerns are not as simple as they may seem at first. So, I highly recommend that you retain a civil litigation attorney to unsnarl the issues.

I agree with you as well as my colleague. It is not proper to file 2 lawsuits for the same issue in 2 separate venues. A Motion to Dismiss in lieu of an Answer would be the way I would handle it. If possible, retain an experienced civil litigation attorney ASAP. These can be complex issues which can affect the outcome of your case. Good luck.

By: Amy Lutz
So it is well past August 2nd, and the United States government appears to still be functioning (if you can call it that). Washington has yet to go up in flames (emphasis on the yet) as was predicted by President Obama and his fellow politicians on the hill, right and left. This new sense of manufactured hope made famous by our current Commander in Chief is mostly due to the passage of the Budget Control Act of 2011 and subsequent increase in the debt ceiling. Moderate and establishment congressmen from both sides are celebrating the passage of the act as a sign of progress towards reducing the federal deficit, but many on the conservative right say not so fast. Although the media is portraying this bill as a Tea Party victory, staunch conservatives in the House and Senate fear this bill is more of a band-aid as opposed to a permanent solution.
The Budget Control Act of 2011 is set to raise the debt ceiling to $2.4 trillion in exchange for an equal amount of deficit reduction over the next ten years. The debt limit was immediately increased by $400 billion and President Obama was granted the right to raise the limit by $500 billion dollars initially followed by another increase of $1.2-1.5 trillion. The latter two expansions are subject to a congressional motion of disapproval. The Act creates the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction (aptly referred to as the "Super Committee"), a collaboration of 12 Congressmen equally divided between both houses and both parties in Congress. The Super Committee will have the responsibility of determining where the $1.5 trillion worth of spending reductions will be distributed. If Congress cannot come up with a deficit reduction bill equal to at least $1.2 trillion by November 23rd, the debt ceiling may still be raised but the increase would be in exchange for automatic spending cuts distributed evenly between security and non-security spending. Lastly, Congress must vote on a Balanced Budget Amendment by the end of 2011, but it is not required to pass.
Now that the bill has been discussed, passed and signed, it's all smooth sailing from now on, right? I think not. In actuality, although the bill could have been drastically worse, I do not believe it goes far enough to solve our nation's financial crisis. Here's how I see it: I recently bought a Red Chrysler Pacifica and took out a loan to pay for it. Every month, I pay a set amount of money for my car and in a few years, I will have reimbursed the bank in full, plus interest. The logical thing for anyone in my situation to do is to simply pay the payment every month until my car is paid off and avoid spending frivolously so I have enough money saved up to keep on track with my car payments. Unfortunately, that is not how the United States Government would see it. Analogously, if I were the US Government, I would borrow thousands of dollars from my parents and spend it on chrome embellishments for my car, several pairs of fuzzy dice, and thousands of new car smelling air fresheners all while avoiding my car payments for several months. When the bank finally comes to collect for my overdue payments, I would promise my parents that instead of spending $5000 per month, I would only spend $4500 and continue to drive myself into debt, albeit at a slightly slower pace. Then, when I inevitably find that I can no longer control my debt, I would simply request more money from my parents and leave them with the tab from my irresponsible fiscal behavior, just like the American people will eventually be left with the responsibility of paying for the government's out of control spending.
If it was not made clear by the above analogy, this debt ceiling bill does little to solve our spending problem in Washington. We need drastic cuts, not small spending reductions, and certainly not tax hikes (or "revenue increases" as they are now called). In addition, the concept of a "Super Committee" is not the most comforting. Although its powers are limited, the committee will be given increased power over both houses of Congress and is immune to amendments or a filibuster. I thought we were trying to decrease the government's power, not enhance it. As far as a Balanced Budget Amendment goes, I'm fully in support of the concept. Unfortunately, the Budget Control Act does little to assure that the states will have the opportunity of making this amendment a reality. It simply calls for a vote and does not base the increase in the debt ceiling on the passage of a balanced budget amendment. We do not need a hollow promise of a discussion, we need action. We need a balanced budget amendment. If states are able to function with a balanced budget, the federal government should continue in the same vein.
Although the White House secretly told executives from top banks that a credit default would not be possible, in the public arena, many politicians warned of an impending economic Armageddon if the debt ceiling was not raised. Now that the Budget Control Act has been passed, it seems like the opposite has occurred. Immediately after President Obama signed the Act, the market dropped 265.87 points (2.19%) and fell below 12,000. A few days later, we received another shock to our economy when S&P downgraded our credit rating from AAA to AA+. I hope that increased interest rates were what President Obama wanted for his 50th birthday, because that's exactly what this country has to look forward to.
In summary, things are not looking very bright for this nation economically and when the Budget Control Act inevitably fails to stabilize our government, this administration and others will need someone to blame. Luckily, the media has that covered. Immediately after the bill became law, newspapers and media outlets heralded it as a "Tea Party victory." Unfortunately for MSNBC and the New York Times, the facts tell a slightly different story. Many of the congressmen who voted against the bill are staunch conservatives and members of the Tea Party Caucus. The lengthy list of dissenters includes Michele Bachmann, Rand Paul, Ron Paul, Marco Rubio, Jim DeMint, and Jason Chaffetz. Even Republicans who voted for the bill such as Allen West and Paul Ryan admit that it is "far from perfect" and is nothing more than the best deal they could have gotten under the circumstances. According to a recent Gallup poll, among Democrats, 58% approve of the bill and 28% disapprove. Among Republicans, 25% approve and 64% disapprove. So much for a Tea Party Victory I suppose. In fact, although the Budget Control Act does include spending reductions, it seems to cater more to the whims of the left than the right. It is no more than a band-aid for our ever increasing deficit and spending problems in Washington and it's not enough. We are going to need drastic, painful cuts if we are to ever regain stability and our AAA credit rating. Just like I need to curb my spending to keep track of my car payments, the US Government must become fiscally disciplined and begin to attack the monstrous deficit head on while avoiding tax hikes and preventing taxpayers from paying for Washington's mistakes.

May Budget Revision Avoids Direct Cuts to the CSU, but Includes Larger Trigger Cut
The CSU will receive an essentially flat budget in 2012-13 but faces an additional $250 million cut in November if voters reject Gov. Jerry Brown's tax measure.
If the taxes are voted down, the CSU's state funding will be reduced to $1.8 billion, the lowest amount the university has received in 17 years, yet the CSU is serving 90,000 more students.
The governor's January budget proposed flat funding for the CSU and a $200 million trigger cut if the tax measure was not approved by voters. The May Revise increases the potential reduction to $250 million as the governor attempts to cover a state deficit that has grown to nearly $16 billion from $9.2 billion.
If the additional cut is triggered, it will represent an almost 39 percent reduction in state funding for the CSU since support peaked in fiscal year 2007-08.
The CSU's cost-saving measures and student tuition fee increases have not filled the budget hole. The trustees requested a comprehensive report of possible cost-cutting and revenue enhancement options, and at their meeting last week they were presented a wide-ranging list that included: creating shared services centers; reducing enrollment; making more expensive courses independent of state support; closing a CSU campus; increasing class sizes; instituting changes in employee/employer health care premiums; reducing personnel costs; and increasing fees for extra course units, as well as for super seniors, graduate students and nonresidents. Their discussion of the options revealed that some of them have limited potential or are not feasible, and a more refined list is expected to be presented at a future meeting.
For the fall 2013 term, the CSU will waitlist all students applying for admission pending the approval or rejection of the November tax measure with a rejection and the subsequent $250 million budget cut leading to possible further enrollment reductions. For the spring 2013 term, the CSU will reduce enrollment to match available funding and the admission of new students for that term will be limited to those who have received an associate degree for transfer from a California community college.

Home > Features > Issues > Bali Memorial > Article
Mondays were reserved for girlfriends, huddled in front of the TV. Popular and fun-loving Bec was a real girls' girl.
The Cartledge family and friends were celebrating daughter Megan's 17th birthday when they tried to call her older sister Rebecca in Bali.
It was her first trip overseas and understandably parents, Wayne and Teresa, had a twinge of anxiety.
There was no answer at her hotel in Kuta. They guessed she was out partying, like she always did.
Just after 11pm local time, Rebecca, or Bec, was at the Sari Club with her best friend, Jessica O'Donnell. Both were killed, but confirmation was delayed.
Wayne went to Bali on October 16 to try and find her. He carried a DNA sample should it be necessary for identification. Rebecca's body came home on November 12 and her funeral was held five days later in St Bernadette's, West Ivanhoe, the church she had hoped to get married in one day. Her favourite song, My Sharona, was played, the one she loved to sing and dance to with friends.
The eldest of the Cartledges' three children, Rebecca had shared a house with Jessica and four friends at Nunawading.
"She used to cook for all of us," close friend Paul Lyons recalls.
"She'd give us a call about 5.30 and ask, 'Are you coming home for tea?' . . . she really looked after us."
Rebecca worked at Archie's Cafe in Forest Hill and during the Australian Grand Prix she served in the corporate boxes. While she never had much money, she always managed to have a good time.
On Monday nights, Rebecca and four girlfriends stayed in to watch The Secret Life of Us and Sex and the City.
On Wednesdays, she played netball with friends from school days. The team was called BTA (Back Together Again). After Bali, it was renamed the Beroccas, in memory of Rebecca. It was an in-joke because after the game the team would go to the pub for a few drinks and need Beroccas the next morning.
Girlfriends and family were the axis on which Rebecca's social roundabout spun.
In February, 120 friends gathered at the Blackburn pub to celebrate what would have been her 21st birthday, a milestone she had been looking forward to. There were no invitations; it was all word of mouth. Like a poem called Come Home Bec Where You Belong, written by her mother and read at her funeral, both were statements about who Rebecca was.

Commands provided by the Debian packages
From Koha Wiki
Home > Documentation > Installation > Debian Packages
Koha > Technical > Administration
This page contains helpful information that is mostly pulled from the scripts themselves. If you're a novice, this might not be as helpful as a step by step, since it's assumed that you know a few things. You might be looking for this page instead. :)
Run "man koha-common" or "man <some command>" on the command line for more (and more up-to-date) information about each command. Inline help, if available, can be accessed by running any command with a --help.
Administer instances
Create a new Koha instance.
koha-create [--create-db|--request-db|--populate-db|--use-db] \ [--marcflavor marc21|normarc|unimarc] \ [--zebralang en|es|fr|nb|ru|uk] \ [--defaultsql /path/to/some.sql] \ [--configfile /path/to/config] [--passwdfile /path/to/passwd] \ [--database database] [--adminuser n] instancename
Simple example, with MySQL running on the same server as everything else:
sudo koha-create --create-db instancename
Order of precedence for config options, from lowest to highest:
- The defaults set in koha-create itself
- /etc/koha/koha-sites.conf
- Config file specified with --configfile
- Individual options set with --marcflavor, --zebralang, --defaultsql, --adminuser
See Koha 3.2 on Debian Squeeze for further details.
Disable a Koha instance.
koha-disable instancename
Enable a Koha instance. New instances are enabled by default. You only need this command if you have previously disabled a site with koha-disable.
koha-enable instancename
Restore a Koha site from a dump (from koha-dump).
koha-restore sqldump configdump
Before restoring an instance you should koha-remove it first.
Dump all contents and configs for a Koha site right now.
koha-dump instancename
Note: backups produced using this tool can be restored using koha-restore.
Performs backups of the koha installations on the system
This allows automation of backing up the koha data and configuration to the filesystem. It will keep the past so many backups, discarding older ones.
--output: the directory that the resulting files will be placed into. (default: /var/spool/koha) --days: the number of days to keep backups around for (default: 2)
Note: backups produced using this tool can be restored using koha-restore.

- -u: runs the process as USMARC rather than the default of MARCXML
- -f: does a reindex of the whole collection
- -...: anything else is passed directly to rebuild_zebra. This is useful in particular for -v.
- koha-rebuild-zebra currently only has the ability to do both bibs and authorities at the same time - you cannot do authorities alone.
As an example, a full, verbose reindex for one instance would look like this:
sudo koha-rebuild-zebra -f -v instancename
Stop Zebra for named Koha instances.
koha-stop-zebra instance1 instance2 etc

If no instance names are provided, this will run it on all of them.
Opens a shell with the user, environment and Perl library paths set up for a particular instance. This is useful if you need to run Koha tools directly.
koha-shell [-c COMMAND] [-h] [-l] [-m|-p|--preserve-environment] [-s SHELL] [-v|--verbose] instancename
These are scripts that are used by other scripts, you probably do not want to run them from the command line.
Create dirs for a Koha instance.
koha-create-dirs instance1 instance2 etc
List all Koha instances.
Lists Koha instances, optionally only those that are enabled or have email turned on. Usage: koha-list [--enabled] [--email] [-h] Options: --enabled only show instances that are enabled --disabled only show instances that are disabled --email only show instances that have email enabled --noemail only show instances that have email disabled -h this help The filtering options can be combined, and you probably want to do this (except --email and --noemail, that's just silly.)
Run a command for each Koha instance.
Takes the same arguments as koha-list.

Engineering management
I'm a few days away from hitting 6 years at Canonical and I've ended up doing a lot more management than anything else in that time. Before that I did a solid 8 years at my own company, doing anything from developing, project managing, product managing, engineering managing, sales and accounting.
This time of the year is performance review time at Canonical, so it's gotten me thinking a lot about my role and how my view on engineering management has evolved over the years.
A key insights I've had from a former boss, Elliot Murphy, was viewing it as a support role for others to do their job rather than a follow-the-leader approach. I had heard the phrase "As a manager, I work for you" a few times over the years, but it rarely seemed true and felt mostly like a good concept to make people happy but not really applied in practice in any meaningful way.
Of all the approaches I've taken or seen, a role where you're there to unblock developers more than anything else, I believe is the best one. And unless you're a bit power-hungry on some level, it's probably the most enjoyable way of being a manager.
It's not to be applied blindly, though, I think a few conditions have to be met:
1) The team has to be fairly experienced/senior/smart, I think if it isn't it breaks down to often
2) You need to understand very clearly what needs doing and why, and need to invest heavily and frequently in communicated it to the team, both the global context as well as how it applies to them individually
3) You need to build a relationship of trust with each person and need to trust them, because trust is always a 2-way street
4) You need to be enough of an engineer to understand problems in depth when explained, know when to defer to other's judgments (which should be the common case when the team generally smart and experienced) and be capable of tie-breaking in a technical-savvy way
5) Have anyone who's ego doesn't fit in a small, 100ml container, leave it at home
There are many more things to do, but I think if you don't have those five, everything else is hard to hold together. In general, if the team is smart and experienced, understands what needs doing and why, and like their job, almost everything else self-organizes.
If it isn't self-organizing well enough, walk over those 5 points, one or several must be mis-aligned. More often than not, it's 2). Communication is hard, expensive and more of an art than a science. Most of the times things have seemed to stumble a bit, it's been a failure of how I understood what we should be doing as a team, or a failure on how I communicated it to everyone else as it evolved over time.
Second most frequent I think is 1), but that may vary more depending on your team, company and project.
Oh, and actually caring about people and what you do helps a lot, but that helps a lot in life in general, so do that anyway regardless of you role 🙂
A story on finding an elusive security bug and managing it responsibly
Now that all the responsible disclosure processes have been followed through, I'd like to tell everyone a story of my very bad week last week. Don't worry, it has a happy ending.
Part 1: Exposition
On May 5th we got a support request from a user who observed confusing behaviour in one of our systems. Our support staff immediately escalated it to me and my team sprung into action for what ended up being a 48-hour rollercoaster ride that ended with us reporting upstream to Django a security bug.
The bug, in a nutshell, is that when the following conditions lines up, a system could end up serving a request to one user that was meant for another:
- You are authenticating requests with cookies, OAuth or other authentication mechanisms
- The user is using any version of Internet Explorer or Chromeframe (to be more precise, anything with "MSIE" in the request user agent)
- You (or an ISP in the middle) are caching requests between Django and the internet (except Varnish's default configuration, for reasons we'll get to)
- You are serving the same URL with different content to different users
We rarely saw this combination of conditions because users of services provided by Canonical generally have a bias towards not using Internet Explorer, as you'd expect from a company who develops the world's most used Linux distribution.
Part 2: Rising Action
Now, one may think that the bug is obvious, and wonder how it went unnoticed since 2008, but this really was one was one of those elusive "ninja-bugs" you hear about on the Internet and it took us quite a bit of effort to track it down.
In debugging situations such as this, the first step is generally to figure out how to reproduce the bug. In fact, figuring out how to reproduce it is often the lion's share of the effort of fixing it. However, no matter how much we tried we could not reproduce it. No matter what we changed, we always got back the right request. This was good, because it ruled out a widespread problem in our systems, but did not get us closer to figuring out the problem.
Putting aside reproducing it for a while, we then moved on to combing very carefully through our code, trying to find any hints of what could be causing this. Several of us looked at it with fresh eyes so we wouldn't be tainted by having developed or reviewed the code, but we all still came up empty each and every time. Our code seemed perfectly correct.
We then went on to a close examination of all related requests to get new clues to where the problem was hiding. But we had a big challenge with this. As developers we don't get access to any production information that could identify people. This is good for user privacy, of course, but made it hard to produce useful logs. We invested some effort to work around this while maintaining user privacy by creating a way to anonymise the logs in a way that would still let us find patterns in them. This effort turned up the first real clue.
We use Squid to cache data for each user, so that when they re-request the same data, it's queued up right in memory and can be quickly served to them without having to recreate the data from the databases and other services. In those anonymized Squid logs, we saw cookie-authenticated requests that didn't contain an HTTP Vary header at all, where we expected it to have at the very least "Vary: Cookie" to ensure Squid would only serve the correct content all the time. So we then knew what was happening, but not why. We immediately pulled Squid out of the middle to stop this from happening.
Why was Squid not logging Vary headers? There were many possible culprits for this, so we got a *lot* of people were involved searching for the problem. We combed through everything in our frontend stack (Apache, Haproxy and Squid) that could sometimes remove Vary headers.
This was made all the harder because we had not yet fully Juju charmed every service, so could not easily access all configurations and test theories locally. Sometimes technical debt really gets expensive!
After this exhaustive search, we determined that nothing our code removed headers. So we started following the code up to Django middlewares, and went as far as logging the exact headers Django was sending out at the last middleware layer. Still nothing.
Part 3: The Climax
Until we got a break. Logs were still being generated, and eventually a pattern emerged. All the initial requests that had no Vary headers seemed for the most part to be from Internet Explorer. It didn't make sense that a browser could remove headers that were returned from a server, but knowing this took us to the right place in the Django code, and because Django is open source, there was no friction in inspecting it deeply. That's when we saw it.
In a function called fix_IE_for_vary, we saw the offending line of code.
del response['Vary']
We finally found the cause.
It turns out IE 6 and 7 didn't have the HTTP Vary header implemented fully, so there's a workaround in Django to remove it for any content that isn't html or plain text. In hindsight, if Django would of implemented this instead as a middleware, even if default, it would have been more likely that this would have been revised earlier. Hindsight is always 20/20 though, and it easy to sit back and theorise on how things should have been done.
So if you've been serving any data that wasn't html or plain text with a caching layer in the middle that implements Vary header management to-spec (Varnish doesn't trust it by default, and checks the cookie in the request anyway), you may have improperly returned a request.
Newer versions if Internet Explorer have since fixed this, but who knew in 2008 IE 9 would come 3 years later?
Part 4: Falling Action
We immediately applied a temporary fix to all our running Django instances in Canonical and involved our security team to follow standard responsible disclosure processes. The Canonical security team was now in the driving seat and worked to assign a CVE number and email the Django security contact with details on the bug, how to reproduce it and links to the specific code in the Django tree.
The Django team immediately and professionally acknowledged the bug and began researching possible solutions as well as any other parts of the code where this scenario could occur. There was continuous communication among our teams for the next few days while we agreed on lead times for distributions to receive and prepare the security fix,
Part 5: Resolution
I can't highlight enough how important it is to follow these well-established processes to make sure we keep the Internet at large a generally safe place.
To summarise, if you're running Django, please update to the latest security release as quickly as possible, and disable any internal caching until then to minimise the chances of hitting this bug.
If you're running squid and want to check if you could be affected, here's a small python script to run against your logs we put together you can use as a base, you may need to tweak it based on your log format. Be sure to run it only against cookie-authenticated URLs, otherwise you will hit a lot of false positives.

Budweiser Made In America Nashville Party
Kill Paris, Chancellor Warhol
Marathon Music Works
1402 Clinton St.
Nashville, TN
Doors 8:00 PM / Show 9:00 PM
This event is 21 and over
Budweiser Made In America Nashville Party ft. GRiZ w/ Kill Paris & Chancellor Warhol
RSVP at www.BudweiserRSVP.com
ENJOY RESPONSIBLY. ©2013 Anheuser-Busch, Budweiser® Beer, St. Louis MO. 21+ only. IDs will be checked. Number of guests limited by venue. First come/first served. Limited invitations available.
Metro-Detroit native Grant Kwiecinski (born May 31st, 1990) better know by his stage name "GRiZ" is an independent American electronic music artist. Begging his career as a classically trained Alto Saxophone and piano player he was attracted to electronic music production at the young age of 14
with a spiked interest in the workings of hip-hop instrumentals and his exposure to IDM (intelligent dance music). Stylistically, GRiZ creates bass infused hip-hop, electro soul, and future funk sounding productions often accompanied by the live performance and recording of his Alto Saxophone and the use of an array of vinyl samples. GRiZ debuted his first full-length album late summer on Sept 4th '12 titled "Mad Liberation" that has garnered him major buzz and exposure worldwide, racking up over 40,000+ downloads within it's first 2 weeks of being released, all organically. 2012 has proven that GRiZ is not a name to forget. With the summer being filled with some huge
festival performances including some notable plays at Electric Forest, Coachella, Movement (Detroit Electronic Music Festival), and Summer Set. He also joined Gramatik for his Digital Freedom tour, as well as some spread-out small headline dates in the mix. Fall 2012 for GRiZ looks to be pretty eventful,
jumping on Big Gigantic and Bassnectar's tours, then off playing a small run of his own intimate headline shows across the nation.
Kill Paris began his journey into music composition at age 16 learning how to play the guitar, which soulfully reflects in his Future Funk style and bass guitar riffs in his music today.
After receiving his recording arts degree in Florida, he moved to Nashville, TN, the heart of Rock/Country in the U.S. and produced for and performed with several Country music bands/singers. But it was his attraction to electronic music composition that led him into the heart of Los Angeles, California where he currently resides today.
In the summer of 2012 he began to receive attention from some well-known EDM blog sites, testifying his undying love to Lana Del Ray, and earning some highly sot after Features from Dubstep.net, and ThisSongIsSick.com, which helped propel his music into the ears of larger masses. His success in the EDM blog-sphere online helped launch his touring carrier in late 2012 and early 2013, where he's spent the majority of his time traveling and performing for venues and festivals in cities all across the country, including Ultra Music Festival Miami.
While juggling his touring career, Kill Paris has managed to release a 9 track EP on Skrillex's record label, Owsla, and individually release several other official remixes for artists such as Nelly Furtado, and No Doubt. His most recent release, a remix of Rudimental's "Feel the Love", charted #1 on Beatport's Top100 GlitchHop tracks, and also charted on the overall Top100 tracks for all genres.
Expect a 2nd EP due to release in fall of 2013.
"I am the thread that accents, not the fabric that overwhelms." Once in a while, true artistry comes along and the world takes notice. Chancellor Warhol is such an artist. Born Antonio Dewayne Boleyjack in Nashville, TN, Chancellor Warhol grew up engulfed in the diverse Nashville sound that shapes his very own music today. Combined with the natural love for fashion and design, he is an artist making his creative mark on the world.
Channeling an electro-rap style that is uniquely his own, Warhol released his first solo album, Japanese Lunchbox in 2010 (Voted Best Rap Album of 2010 by the Nashville Scene). His unconventional sound has earned him a place on stage at 2011's Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, Sundance Film Festival, Atlanta's A3C and headlining Next Big Nashville's Soundland music festival. Warhol has also supported a long list of artists, including Questlove, Kid Cudi, G-Side, Wallpaper, and Yelawolf. His music has been featured on several indie films as well as E! Network's Khloe & Lamar, HBO(Less Than Kind), ABC(Charlie's Angels), Fuel TV and the GenArt Film Festival's award winning film, Saeng-il (Birthday) as well as mentions in Rolling Stone and The Examiner .
A dictator of his own art, Chancellor Warhol continues to redefine music genres and produce a matchless sound in his sophomore album, The Silver Factory (which was released September 13th). In 2012, Warhol has released a free mixtape (Playlist for Edie) and will be performing at SXSW, Rites of Spring, and Lollapalooza; he was also selected to be part of the Google Music Magnified Artist program that launched with a performance at the Sundance Film Festival.

Forbes Magazine Harvard Reuters Adam Tanner circumventing rick calixto harvard, forbes benefits from harvard's brand name contributed content, elevation partners scam Internet
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Elevation Partners, owns 40% of Forbes Media, parent company of Forbes Magazine. Elevation Partners, wanted to utilize the Forbes brand to increase equity in their portfolio companies and at the same time utilize the name and recognition of top universities (Harvard) and thereby being able to imply an endorsement.
Traditional editing would need to be ignored and from this over 1,000 contributed writers were hired which were all hired, vetted, curated and on a compensation program. The content is almost indistinguishable and can be shared on social media just like any other article on Forbes. Except - 'contributed' content has NO traditional editing of the contributors copy prior to publishing. [continued below]....
Forbes also realized that some of the most widely known and respected trademarks in the world were Univerisites such as Harvard. As a result of Harvard's name recognition value and prestige, entrepreneurs all over the world have attempted to exploit Harvards name - and imply an endorsement. How do I now of all of this? It's simple: I worked with Adam Tanner and was present at a party when he bragged about being hired as an attack dog for Forbes and how he would hide behind the Harvard name in securing interviews with his victims.
Example of Harvard, Forbes, Adam Tanner in action:

#1 UPDATE Employee ..inside information
Forbes Created False Revenue Model to Defraud Axel Springer / Revenue Based on Extortion By 'Lighting Up Targets' ,Brand and Executives, Digitally Assassinated By ... Contributors
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, February 25, 2014POSTED: Tuesday, February 25, 2014
In order to increase its revenue, Elevation Partners, via Forbes implemented the TRAJECTORY OF A RUMOR campaign. Elevation Partners replaced Forbes Staff writers and hired sophisticated smear campaigns by calling these digital assassins, 'Contributors', backed by fake investigatory articles, backed by doctored documents or documents taken out of context, and disinformation against Brands either in competition with Elevation Partners or who canceled, refused or cut back on advertising.
Lighting Up Targets
Forbes also employed Silent Slashers which attacked employees and executives of their targets companies with anonymous posters online, with comments about the targeted women with enough frequency that the rants with outrageous lies and other verbal ejaculations about the supposed sex lives or calling them "rat-faced Jews" trying to hide an air or parody when in reality the target was to create enough keywords that were ugly so that the executives were not only defamed but unable to find new employment thereby forcing the competeting brands out of business.
What happens next Forbes realized it was time to sell and by the time the cabal of contributors, hackers that created the 'trajectory of a rumor' campaign will be gone and the new purchaser left to defend the crimes of Forbes and defending Internet Free Speech.

#2 UPDATE EX-employee responds
FORBES MEDIA: Gain Competitive Advantage By Destroying Businesses via False News Stories
SUBMITTED: Friday, July 12, 2013POSTED: Friday, July 12, 2013
To my disbelief, when Elevation Partners bought into Forbes Media we were instructed to of disseminating FALSE information about brands that competed against the FORBES portfolio companies of Elevation Partners and other executives personal investment portfolio. From I saw and have concluded is that Elevation Partners d/b/a Forbes Media and Forbes.com is attempting to gain competitive advantage by allowing Elevation Partners to post and destroy brands that compete against their portfolio.
Forbes calls these new 'brand' hit-men 'contributors. I call them 'modern day snake oil salesmen.'
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#3 Consumer Comment
FORBES MEDIA - in bed with a Venture Capital firms hires hundreds of paid shills / brand assassins to drive profits for personal investment and Elevation Partners
SUBMITTED: Monday, May 20, 2013POSTED: Monday, May 20, 2013
Forbes Media in bed with a venture capital firm now has 'incentive-based entrepreneurial journalism'. Destroy a brand which is competing with a personal investment of Forbes or Elevation partners, get your incentive. Or, write a 'puff' piece and increase the value of the Forbes / Elevation Partners portfolio, get your incentive, I believe is called propoganda.The facts don't matter to Adam Tanner. Adam Tanners' a cheer leader. He's a clapping seal. Somebody give him a ball so he can balance it on his nose.Tanner called me boasting he was doing research for Harvard University and reporter for Forbes. Being that I am a corporate advocacy member, he said he wanted to ask my feelings and experience with RR and the Corporate Adavocacy Program. Negative reviews are a busines owners worst nightmare. I did not like Mr. Magedson or his website. The reports on my business were true but we were barely surviving and I felt like the reports were unfair because we were not making much of a profit, and I felt these people were taking money out of my kids mouths.
It pissed me off but finally after speaking with two other CAP members I joined the program. The other member bragged about how much their businesses increased after joining the program, and it was true. Within months we began making a consistent and growing profit. All the people who stayed away because of Ripoff Report now clicked on the same link but read about how we changed the former problems. Better yet, Ed went so far above and beyond for us. Many of the reports on us were filed anonymously. After we joined the program, Ed suggested we offer a free dinner to any of our anonymous posters if they came and introduced themselves, and we met two of the past anonymous posters, once we spoke, they refer us so much business. Tanner was told all of this and more but it never made it to the article. Instead he spent nearly 45 minutes telling me horrible things about RR and Ed personally. He told me he would highlight my business in the article, and that a mention on Forbes woud be more valuable that the Corporate Advocacy program. After reading this report, I now see this is about paid shills increasing profits for their wealthy buddies.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

New Muscogee Creek Health Clinic dedicated
By BEN GRAFTON
On Saturday, March 31, a dreary, wet day in Bruce, Florida, a surprisingly large happy crowd, the majority of whom were tribal members in their native dress, braved the rain at the Muscogee tribal grounds to celebrate the dedication of the new federally qualified Muscogee Creek Tribal Health Clinic, that is operated by PanCare of Florida, Inc.
Hamburgers with the trimmings, hot dogs and soft drinks were provided for lunch after which tribal members participated in native dances accompanied by chants with rhythm provided by a very large native drum laid on its side and played by a team of drummers.
At the dedication, Tribal Chairwoman Ann Tucker, welcomed the crowd, followed by remarks by PanCare President and CEO Mike Hill, Walton County Commissioner Scott Brannon and U.S. Congressman Jeff Miller.
The highlights of the dedication were the presentation of a $100,000 operating fund grant to PanCare by the Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation and a ribbon cutting ceremony with all of the dignitaries having hands on the scissors.

America's Got Talent Results Feature Show's First-Ever Live Viewer Save!
"America's Got Talent" featured its first-ever live viewer save on Wednesday's results show.
As Gossip Cop reported, Tuesday's first round of the semifinals featured 12 acts, with Mara Justine receiving a standing ovation and singing competitor Emily West being called a "true million dollar act."
Similar to how it works on fellow NBC series "The Voice," host Nick Cannon revealed viewers could save one of the three acts that were in jeopardy of being eliminated after placing in fifth, sixth and seventh after last night's votes.
Using Google (see video below), viewers could cast votes for which they wanted to save — either Justine, aerial dancer Aerial Animation, or magicians David & Leeman.
The one with the most votes was declared the saved winner, with the judges then getting to choose between the final two for the last spot.
So, which contestants did America — and the judges — choose to keep in the competition?
– Mystifier Mike Super (brought back from quarterfinals as Howie Mandel wild card pick)
– Band Sons of Serendip
– Singer Emily West
– Singer Miguel Dakota
– Singer Mara Justine (saved by viewers)
– Magicians David & Leeman (saved by judges)
That meant Aerial Animation got the boot, and singing U.S. soldier Paul Ieti was also among the acts sent home.
The six acts above who survived the cut now make up the first half of the Top 12, which will be completed next week when the rest of the semifinalists perform.

modern monday: water bottles
What's your beverage of choice in the summer? Is it a frappuccino, smoothie, coconut water, or just plain old water? As refreshing as frozen drinks, juice, and iced teas are, most of them contain with added sugar. Deep down we all know that water is the best for your body. Try carrying a bottle of water in your purse and see if you can't cut down on the number of frozen drinks or cold beverages you purchase during lunch break. (It saves you a lot of money too) The collapsable Vapur bottle is a great choice for ladies who don't have a lot of room in their purse for a giant bottle.

General Electric (GE) put Boston's Seaport District on the map in a big way when it announced in January 2016 it would be moving to its shores. An influx of 800 jobs and property tax revenues could be a major boon for the city. Other notable commercial tenants include Thomson Reuters, PwC and Harpoon Brewery. In addition to being very business-friendly, Boston's concentration of elite universities is said to be one of the factors in GE's decision. Other businesses would be wise to consider the city's mix of talent, tax incentives and affordable rent.
