Hi All,
Just learned of a new website that allows you to keep track of your trips. Pretty neat!Feb 15, 2011 at 11:59 am #1696984

I dont get it. So I sign up and then enter how many miles I've hiked and if I make the top 10 I'll see my name in pixels?
Tell me there's moreFeb 15, 2011 at 12:41 pm #1696992
I think that's it. I thought it was useful because I didn't have a place to keep track of what I had done – I suppose I could have used a spreadsheet, but it's kind of fun to put it on a map.Feb 15, 2011 at 2:43 pm #1697036

Notepad? Word? very simple.
I use both. I include GRs where relevant.

On-line might be fun to try but I have an old-school system in place: I keep a small spiral notebook and a pencil in a ziplock bag in my pack.Feb 15, 2011 at 4:14 pm #1697084
Wow, thanks for posting this Chris!
Hi folks— I'm the developer of this site. I made it over the last week to serve my own "weekend warrior" style of backpacking, where I do many short trips and like to keep track of them. I posted this on a local forum on a whim and immediately got a few signups, so I took the extra couple hours to somewhat polish the experience. It's exciting to see something I spent so little time on get interest from folks pretty quickly. This certainly isn't for everyone, and particularly people that do significantly fewer and longer hikes, and people that don't care.
Jeff, the stats are there for stupid fun and are definitely not the point of the website. It's meant as a personal tool for cataloguing your hikes. For instance, here are my 2010 hikes. It's great to have a little history to build on year after year for my own records.
Roger, as someone with their own website and 5,800+ posts on this forum, you if anyone must see the want to document your experiences. After all, you have and do everyday.
Anyway, my day-job is a web designer & developer for a transportation company, and I specialize in geospatial data and online mapping. I'll be adding some GPS integration and underlaying the National Forest Service's geospatial trail database on the maps, providing some context for routes and the ability to explore.
I'd really welcome any other feedback, comments, or thoughts you may have.Feb 15, 2011 at 4:42 pm #1697100

I am now confused about whether I'm on portlandhikers.org or backpackinglight.com.
On your website you have your competition of who has the most miles and elevation, good motivation to get out there more. I'll have to look at that a little more.Feb 15, 2011 at 5:05 pm #1697110

Kyle, nice job on the web site. Signing up, adding hikes and comments is very simple and the visual of pins in a map is a great touch! I won't throw away the spiral notebook just yet but I will be adding more hikes.Feb 19, 2011 at 8:11 pm #1698936

Great little site. Quick Question for you though, would it be possible to add kilometric distances and elevations for those of us in the Metric System?Feb 19, 2011 at 8:48 pm #1698945

@sarbarLocale: In the shadow of Mt. Rainier
The Metric System! Gasp! Noooooooo!
I yammer at my oldest about how when I was 8 or 9 my teachers claimed the day was coming quickly when we'd all use it. And sigh….nearly 30 years later and they barely teach the Metric now. Outside of how to read pop bottles. Lol….Feb 20, 2011 at 1:19 am #1698995

Chuckle! A touch, I do declare … :-)
Actually, while I do document our trips quite extensively with notes and photos, I do not publish a lot of that information. It's for our use only.
Why? Because many of them are (quite legally) into official Wilderness Areas, and we have a policy of not publishing that sort of info. The risk of having Rambo juveniles trying to copy, and getting lost and killed in that country is high. That would lead to a wave of expensive, invasive and politically costly SAR and political interference in those areas. Not to mention the unwanted attention from trail bikes and 4WD nuts trying to follow.
Am I exaggerating? Nope. It has happened. I told them they could not find pass #1 from above, but they insisted on trying. So then they tried pass #2, and could not find that either. They were rescued. Repeat story several times in different places …
I guess I am not yet a convert to doing everything on the cloud. The response time on my own machine beats the hell out of the response time of the Net. But to each his own. Enjoy.
CheersMar 14, 2011 at 10:01 am #1708726
I'm going to put in another plug for Kyle's site, as he's added a lot of features to it – it's looking really sharp.
One of the new features is an option to post trip reports to the site, and generate code to post the report to another site, potentially BPL. Kyle, any chance there's a way to add the "< img src =" language to work with these types of sites?Mar 14, 2011 at 10:47 am #1708742
Haha, you are awesome, thanks for posting this Chris. Also, my 23 miles over the weekend passed you up by 0.5 miles for the year.
I just added an HTML option to the sharing popup so you can post trip reports to BPL as well as more traditional forums using BBCode. Here's my trip from the weekend (I won't display all the photos, though):
23.0 miles, 500' gained, 1 night(s)
Shane and I hunted down the best weather within a 10 hour drive this weekend, and decided on the Deschutes.
I'll get this out of the way—the hike itself is pretty boring. It's a long gravel road through an otherwise beautiful canyon, with little bits of trail to break up the monotony. The scenery is beautiful, though.
We lucked out with weather, getting clear skies through the night and mild temperatures. The old homestead around mile 11 is historically spectacular, too.
Good winter hike.Apr 20, 2011 at 10:46 am #1727052
I reckon I'll bump this a last time to let folks know about what's changed.
I've made some changes to Went Hiking to make individual logs much more of a blog format. Here's an example trip and here's my hiking log
The website displays the rough geolocation of the hike, an interactive topographic map, keeps track of mileage, elevation, et cetera, in addition to your notes and photos. It's really a much, much better (in my humble opinion) TrailJournals. People can leave comments or ask questions about your trips as well.
I'm also experimenting with fullscreen maps and trip planning UIs. http://wenthiking.com/map is a fullscreen map with a topographic layer. You can draw trails on the map and it'll automatically calculate distance and elevation gains—pretty useful for planning unorthodox trips. It works best when you zoom in to the area, switch to the topo maps, and trace the trails you want to hike. Additionally, right-clicking anywhere on the map will give you an instant 5-day forecast for that area using the NOAA's weather APIs.
I'd love anyone's feedback or suggestions.Apr 21, 2011 at 2:03 pm #1727626
I really like the map feature. I just used the map tool to sketch out a summer overnighter around the south side of Mt. Jefferson:Apr 21, 2011 at 3:53 pm #1727680
Nick LarsenMember
@stingray4540Locale: South Bay
Cool website, however I think it could use a little more refining, especially the map sketching tool.
I tried to sketch out a map from one of last years trips and it was a bit cumbersome to say the least. It was an out and back with a small loop at the end, so it's hard to tell if the mileage calculator accounted for the return part of the trip, or if I have to sketch a return route right next to my "out" route.
Also, it would be nice to be able to access the map sketching part from the page where you fill out your trip report and be able to add it to the trip report instead of a just a pin. It would also be nice if you were able to see others sketched routes from there trip report page. Personally that would be the most useful tool to me, to be able to see someone else's route in case I wanted to do it myself. Or be able to keep a record of the routes I've taken for future reference or when wanting to share with friends.Apr 21, 2011 at 4:33 pm #1727689

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!
in jail, 4months left on parole for assault. new charge burglary he knows nothing abour. friend had car and,robbery for snatching 2 cartons of cig. in a store.
These questions are impossible to answer without more information. A lawyer would need to do a full investigation of these allegations before analyzing the likelihood of this individual being convicted of these offenses. These are serious charges, so it is stating the obvious that your friend needs an experienced lawyer immediately. His parole could be revoked even if the evidence of the new charges is not enough to convict him, and a lawyer will be able to represent him on the impending parole revocation proceedings as well.Ask a similar question
Burglary can be a 20 yr felony, robbery is a 20 yr felony, if he is on parole and convicted of those crimes it is quite possible he will go to prison. A plea offer is made in almost every case. What he needs is a lawyer to defend him.Ask a similar question
You friend needs to hire a good lawyer to find out what the new charges are based on and to do his/her best to get the most appropriate resolution for the case. Without having all the discovery and without talking to your friend, it would be impossible to make a judgment about what will happen in the case. He may need to go to trial or he may need to take a plea offer and get it over with, but only a skilled lawyer with all the facts will be able to give him that advice. Good luck.Ask a similar question

"Location is perfect for walking around - near to Louvre, Garnier Opera, Galleries Lafayette - all within walking distances. Supermarket just around the corner, bus station as well. Lots of restaurants nearby, mostly Japanese. The apartment is best for two persons - for three may be little crowded - but ok for a 3-4 day stay. David is helpful, arrived on time, gave us hints about were to go and what to visit. Paris was great - worth visiting - don't hesitate!"
"Perfect, David a charm, most central impossible, as described, does not lack anything, very cosy and clean. "

"A wonderful stay from start to finish. The owner, David, was so lovely, welcoming, friendly and super efficient. The apartment is sparkling clean, comfy bed, best location, free wifi and a lovely balcony. It really ticked all the boxes for the ideal place to stay when in Paris. "
Anonymous rated his/her apartment stay, but didn't leave any extra comments…
"The location is very central to most places around Paris however it is located quite closely (in the same building) as many Japanese restaurants and is noisy until the wee hours of the morning.The apartment is more suited to couples as the sofa bed is old and uncomfortable ,some of the bedding requires replacement ,some it is stained and unsightly. David was very helpful and very friendly he organised the taxi to the airport and gave us maps and tips about Paris. The apartment requires some good decorating and perhaps renovation to the toilet area ( as it was quite smelly). I feel confident that this feedback will be used for quality improvement as David was very concerned when we mentioned that the toilet area was smelly."
"Hi there, thank you for your review. We are glad that you liked the location of the apartment. David is indeed very helpful! He told us that the problem in the toilet has been fixed. He will pay extra attention to the cleanliness and the comfort of the sofa bed. Thanks for booking with us and we hope to see you again! "
"The youth had three South Koreans, including a family trip from Paris, this apartment is "more perfect" location. Veranda looking down the street smoking Paris fruitcake is also required. Once you are within walking distance of the Louvre, the Opera House, raffa Transylvania, Printemps, Concord square, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Emperor can go, as well as the Arc de Triomphe, Rize, a 5-minute walk from the Eiffel Tower, Metro, this pyramid, Pompidou Center, the Museum of fine arts and the Palace on the outskirts of Berry why gime, x-position, von ten blue links by rail from London, United Kingdom, can go right. In contrast to South Korea only three times, I don't really eat here tastes like form would have to be, in front of the House were the Korean Mart, Korean restaurant, a House, etc., and is equipped with a washing machine (dryer) and the dishes are put into the washer when the d.c. tourism goes out. Sucking very wearable clothes have only two decks at this apartment are the most minimal cost when traveling families can travel to Paris accommodation."
"청소년을 포함한 한국인 세가족이 파리여행을 했는데 이 아파트는 "더 퍼펙트"한 위치였다. 베란다가 있어서 파리거리를 바라보면서 담배를 맛있게 필수도 있다. 일단 도보로 루브르, 오페라하우스, 라파에트, 쁘렝땅, 콩코드광장, 노틀담성당, 상제리제, 개선문등을 갈수 있으며, 도보 5분이면 피라미드 지하철역이 있어서 이를통해 에펠탑, 퐁피두센타, 기메미술관 및 외곽의 베리사이유궁전, 엑스포지션, 폰텐블루, 영국 런던을 바로 철도로 연결해 갈수 있다. 세번만 먹으면 진짜 여기 양식이 한국대비 맛이 없어 질려버릴텐데, 집앞에 한국마트, 한국식당, 라면집등이 있고, 세탁기(드라이어)가 완비되어 있고 설겆이는 관광나갈때 디시워셔에 넣고 나가면 된다. 빨아서 바로 입을수 있는 옷 두벌씩만 가지고 이 아파트로 여행오시면 가족이 가장 최소의 비용으로 파리를 여행 할수 있는 숙소이다."
"David went out of his way to greet us, give us details on the surrounds and to make sure our stay was pleasant. This apartment has an excellent location and enabled us to walk to all the main tourist sites. We would not have any hesitation in recommending friends to stay there and if we return to Paris and wanted similar accommodation, we would definitely stay here again. "

Push Through
They always say heat rises.
Yet also they always say down in the darkest depths of your mind.
I say that the one place you curl up in,
the one spot in your mind where you go,
when you are sobbing,
when you're alone,
is up at the top of your mind,
and like heat,
when you try to burry it,
and push it down,
it rises back up.
Deep down,
where we pretend sadness is,
is the happiness,
the warm feelings,
the spurt of life that makes you move on.
That happiness of stepping in cool mud,
while walking,
a meadow.
That feeling of sun after a cold cloudy wind storm.
The inspiration of love,
the laughter from a newborn,
the fur of a puppy,
the frizz to your hair.
The challenges of life,
according to THEM,
is to push and bury the hatchet,
to hide the pain and suffering,
to push down the sadness.
The brave face,
the smiling mom kissing her two year old after hours from 4 to 12.
I say that is the easy part.
To pretend,
to act.
The real hard part,
must be,
has to be,
pushing through the heat,
the pain,
the sadness,
to the happiness part of your mind.
It will never go away,
but you can push through it and survive,
in your own happiness,
at the bottom of the cement pool.

Cody: Looking For LucyMature
I found Lucy crouching in an alleyway a few yards away from the nightclub. Typical, I thought half annoyed, but partly amused too.
"I can't leave you alone for two seconds," I said, staggering through the poor light to reach her.
"Now is not the time for your diminishing attitude," she grumbled at me. "And it wasn't two seconds, it was hours. We were supposed to meet up, remember?"
Something in the darkness groaned. I froze.
"What was that?"
"Someone who needs our help. Now help me lift them up. They're really heavy!"
I knelt down beside her to see who she was fussing over, but all I could see was a faint outline. From the sound of their heavy breathing, I gathered he was unconscious.
"You take 'em from underneath their arms and I'll carry their feet," Lucy instructed.
Always the one to tell others what to do, I forced myself not to mutter. Even though we both knew I meant it jokingly, she'd still take some kind offence from it.
"On the count of three," I said. "One...Two...Three..."
We lifted the figure up off the ground and started out the alley. When the street lights hit us I realised it was a dude.
"You sure know how to pick up dates, Luce," I teased. "Get it...Get it," I added when she didn't respond.
"You're awful, you know that?" She replied, her teeth clenched from the strain, but I could tell she was also fighting back a smile.
After struggling to cross a bunch of roads, getting honked at by impatient drivers and receiving odd looks from passers-by we finally reached my car.
"Lets put him on the ground gently," I proposed.
Lucy nodded and as I fumbled around for my car keys she sat beside him, muttering words of reassurance. I unlocked the car and opened the battered driver's door.
"You coming or not?" I called at her from over the car roof.
"What," she replied, her face wearing the shocked look of disbelief. "We can't just leave him here!"
"Watch me," I gloated with a smirk.
I got into the car and turned the ignition. It spluttered and squealed before roaring to life. I looked over at Lucy to see if she had changed her mind yet. She was still sat in the same spot with her arms crossed tightly and her mouth twisted into a stubborn frown. Sighing, I began to reverse out of the parking space.
"You arsehole," I heard her scream at me.
With one last push at the accelerator, I decided this guy wasn't worth winding her up over.
"Fine," I snapped, putting the car into neutral. "But if he pukes in the car, you're cleaning it up."

Every day. Every say he came back and destroyed her flower garden. She tended to it and loved it like it was a living, breathing person. After her husband had died this little garden was all she had left that gave her joy in life. Today, however, today, she wouldn't let this filth of a child ruin it. She watched and waited, quietly sipping on some tea. Then she saw him. Smiling and running up to her house. As soon as his first little foot entered the garden she was out of her chair and out the door. The little boy kicked and screamed as she drug him into the house and closed the door. The image of a spider catching a fly slowly floated into her head.
His small body writhed in the chair, the nylon rope tight against his tender skin. her sobs began to mix with the ones emitting from the child. She closed her eyes as she forced the butcher's knife into his soft abdomen. He fell silent. She began to cry and scream. What had she done? The sound of sirens pounded in her head. She quickly removed the knife from the boy's stomach, bringing with it a slew of blood and stomach contents. She charged out into the yard, screaming and waving the knife. She ran through her flower garden. Bullets erupted from the guns that the police held, mowing down the elderly woman. They were puzzled at why she had run at them at first. But not as puzzled as the neighbors. The neighbors who now remembered her as the woman who had killed her own grandson, and then committed suicide by cops. She had even died with a smile.

Living In Denial About Transportation Funding
The reaction of various advocacy groups to President Obama's recent call for a $50 billion stimulus spending plan for transportation infrastructure was predictable. They applauded the President's initiative and thought that Congress should promptly approve the spending request. The benefits of investing in infrastructure are undisputable and the need for funds is urgent and compelling, they (or their press releases) proclaimed. read more »
Green Jobs for Janitors: How Neoliberals and Green Keynesians Wrecked Obama's Promise of a Clean Energy Economy
In August 2008, then-candidate Barack Obama traveled to Lansing, Michigan, to lay out an ambitious ten-year plan for revitalizing, and fundamentally altering, the American economy. His administration, he vowed, would midwife new clean-energy industries, reduce dependence on foreign oil, and create five million green jobs. "Will America watch as the clean-energy jobs and industries of the future flourish in countries like Spain, Japan, or Germany?" Obama asked. "Or will we create them here, in the greatest country on earth, with the most talented, productive workers in the world?" read more »
The Future of a Hub: Can Singapore Stay On Top of the Game?
Viewed from a broad, historical perspective, Singapore's position as a hub is far from inevitable or unassailable. History shows that hubs come and go. Malacca used to be the centre of the spice trade in Southeast Asia. Venice was the centre of East-West trade throughout the Middle Ages. Rangoon, now Yangon, was the aviation hub of Southeast Asia before 1962. read more »
London Special Report: The Making of the Hundred Mile City

This debate is alive today in the battle between the emerging metropolitan reality and the nostalgia of the urban past. Ford's dream was of a Great London '… not of seven, but of seventy-million imperially minded people'. read more »

Urban planning in Australia is lost in a dense fog of presumption and theory. What's needed is to toss out the hype and to illuminate some of the common planning myths for what they really are: impediments to progress.

When I'm Gone
Boarding school... my own mother was sending me away until I was 19... I hated her, and my anger built until I couldnt even see the name on my phone, as it blasted out one of my favorite songs.
"Hello?" I snapped down the phone.
"Rosalyn, whats going on?" The worried voice of my cousin brought me back to reality. Jay was a sweet chick, even though she was a lot older than me - not to mention she was engaged to the lead vocalist of a band which had toured America - twice!
"Oh Jay-bird! I didn't see it was you ringing me!" I cried into the phone.
"Didn't the ringtone give it away?" She asked jokingly before singing my set ringtone for her. "I'm a hellshot kid disaster!" I heard her speak away from the phone, explaining to her to-be-husband why she was singing one of his songs.

Rayn: Changed.Mature
To say I was glad Kyle was back was an understatement. I'd been waiting with this nervous energy of excitement, tidying and baking and making sure everything was perfect for him coming home. I was a little disappointed he didn't seem to notice, I'll admit, but I put that down to the fact that he'd been in a car accident and was probably in too much pain to notice much at all and tried to ignore it.
Days passed and he didn't really seem any different. He was just sort of... uninterested. In everything. I made him his favourite dinners and gave him blowjobs and made sure he wasn't in any pain. My nightmares didn't bother him anymore. Sure I'd still get a hug, but there was no comfort to be found in it. I was still essentially on my own. It was horrible. He was just an emotionless shell and I had no idea how to bring him back. I think the worst part was that I still managed to blame myself for all this. I'd gotten him fired, somehow, and then this had all happened so fast I didn't know what day it was anymore.
Maybe a week or so after he came home, I'd had enough. I was trying not to wake him up at the same time as trying not to have a panic attack over my latest nightmare. I didn't want him to pretend like he cared. That didn't work out though, and before he could even properly get his arms around me, I shoved him off. Whether or not it hurt him was the furthest thing from my mind right then.
He arched an eyebrow at me, watching me cry. "There's no point hugging me if you don't even mean it," I told him.
"Suit yourself," he said, looking at me when I sniffled.
"What's happened to you? It's like living with a robot," I sobbed.
"What d'you mean?"
"I mean you're like a shell. You hug me, but you don't care anymore," I said. He didn't look like he understood what I meant. "You don't seem to care about anything," my sobbing got even harder. What was the point? He wouldn't care about this either. "I want the Kyle I married back, now."
"I do care. Of course I care."
"Do you? Then what've my nightmares been about?" I asked, my voice all accusing. The nightmares were rarely of daddy anymore, but more of Kyle abandoning me. They were hardly unreasonable nightmares given how he'd been acting lately.
"Uh..." I gave him a minute to think about it, but he didn't manage to come up with anything.
"Exactly," I said grumpily, my anger kinda drowned out by all the crying I was doing. "I'm sorry I got you fired, Kyle, and I'm sorry you reacted so badly that you've ended up like this, but I need you. I miss you."
"I don't know what you want me to do."
Somehow, I ended up yelling. I barely even knew I was yelling at him, even though Scruffles was scurrying around in his cage, all alarmed and my fists had balled up. I really wanted to hit him. "I want you back, Kyle. You're not the person I married anymore and I hate it. I don't know what's changed, but something has and it's something in you."
"I haven't changed, Rayn," he replied, not raising his voice.
"You have! How can you be so emotionless and think that you've not changed?" I on the other hand, was totally beyond anger, now. He just sort of shrugged, making himself wince. "You're different and I hate it," I shouted, scrambling out of the bed, "I hate you."

A SCOTLAND Yard cop on a charity trip to Kenya was shot dead when bandits
ambushed his bus.
Jamal Moghe, 26, a married constable with the Metropolitan Police, was riddled
with bullets during Sunday's hold-up.
His family believe the robbers shot only him out of 70 passengers because they
found his police ID card.
The attack took place 150 miles north of the capital Nairobi.
Kenyan police say they have traced and killed six of the 12 attackers, said to
be from neighbouring Ethiopia.
PC Moghe, who came to Britain in his teens as a refugee from war-torn Somalia,
flew out on Friday in what was his first trip back to Africa, and was
heading to a school to arrange sending old UK laptops to pupils there.
Halfway, the bandits held up the bus, telling everyone to empty their pockets.
They took a pricey camera and a bag of clothes from PC Moghe before
slaughtering him.
His best friend Shil Abdiaziz, who pulled out of the trip at the last minute,
said: "We believe they found his Met Police ID card — it spooked them and
that's why he was the only one shot and killed."
His uncle Abdullah Ali said last night that the PC idolised double Olympic
gold-winning runner Mo Farah — who also came to Britain from Somalia — and
had been delighted to be put on traffic duty at the Olympic Park during the
The policeman's wife of just a year, Sudi, who ran a children's charity with
him near their home in Wembley, North London, said yesterday: "Being a
policeman and doing charity work was his dream."
The funeral was held in Nairobi yesterday, in keeping with Muslim custom for
burial to occur within a day of death.

Energy sources are classified into two broad categories: nonrenewable and renewable. Oil, gas and coal are the primary nonrenewable sources of energy. Solar, wind and geothermal are alternative energies considered renewable. According to the Department of Energy (DOE), energy plays a vital role in America's economy, national security and transportation system. There are some major factors that affect the nation's energy stock: supply and demand, government regulations, environmental concerns and infrastructure.
Supply and Demand
Chevron, one of the world's leading energy producers and suppliers, estimate that the worldwide population will rise by 20 percent by the year 2031. This substantial increase in the global population will ultimately create more of a demand for energy sources, and India and China are expected to be the major recipients of this explosive growth. Exploration for and production of new fossil fuel sources are being spearheaded by the Department of Energy (DOE), which is also researching new ways to extend this old form of energy.
Government Regulations
Government regulations pertaining to fuel sources are probably one of the biggest factors affecting the energy industry. According to the DOE, the U.S. spends an annual amount of 5 billion dollars on fuel. With so much of the economy connected to oil, gas and coal, there is a need for government regulations. Emissions standards, taxes, market directives and specific fuel guidelines are but some of the mandates that directly impact fuel sources. Foreign and domestic fuel suppliers must adhere to government regulations.
Environmental Concerns
Fuel sources are also affected by the environment since diverse types of fuels contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and the possibility of contaminating land, water and air with radioactive waste. Other factors that have the potential to harm the environment due to the exploration and production of fuel sources include disrupting the natural environment where resources are found, endangering the natural habitat of animals and the destruction of plant life. DOE implements integrated management systems and practices when producing or acquiring fuel sources in order to protect the environment and the health of the public.
Fuel sources are supplied to the U.S. from foreign or domestic suppliers, and refineries are usually given the responsibility of transforming raw resources into commercial energy and fuel. After fuel is processed it is taken by distributers, who either store it or have it delivered to commercial fueling stations or other dispensing outlets. Pipelines also play a critical role with supplying natural gas and other forms of raw energy to distributers. Infrastructure critically impacts fuel sources, and without a solid fuel network in place it would be extremely difficult to supply the nation's energy needs.

That's not correct. File externals are supported (since 1.6 I think). They have a couple of specific problems though (a lot of which have been fixed in 1.7), because their implementation is entirely different from directory externals (file externals use the "switch" mechanism underneath, while dir externals are essentially an embedded checkout with some sugar on top). So, concerning to the problem of the OP: > From: "Hutchinson, Steve (UK)" <firstname.lastname@example.com> > To: "firstname.lastname@example.com" <email@example.com> > Sent: Wednesday, May 1, 2013 7:01 AM > Subject: SVN Externals 1.6 to 1.7 migration issue > > Hi, > > We're been using 1.6 svn externals to manage a FW task. > > In the repository we have a folder structure (which is pretty much defined > by the tools we are using) as below :- > > FOLDER A -> file_a1.txt, file_a2.txt, file_a3.txt > FOLDER B -> file_b1.txt, file_b2.txt, file_b3.txt > > Then using externals we link to those folder to create a WC PROJECT > structure that looks like :- > > PROJECT -> FOLDER C -> file_a1.txt, file_a2.txt, file_a3.txt AND > file_b1.txt > PROJECT -> FOLDER D -> file_b1.txt, file_b2.txt, file_b3.txt > > The externals on PROJECT FOLDER we used looked like (not actually using file > protocol, just created for example purposes) :- > > file:///D:/FPGA/SVN_ISSUE/repo/FOLDER_A FOLDER_C > file:///D:/FPGA/SVN_ISSUE/repo/FOLDER_B FOLDER_D > file:///D:/FPGA/SVN_ISSUE/repo/FOLDER_B/file_b1.txt FOLDER_C/file_b1.txt > > Worked ok with 1.6.

So essentially you are "injecting" a file external (file_b1.txt) inside a directory external (FOLDER_C (an external of FOLDER_A)). Hm, I remember some past discussions about edge cases like these (during the working copy rewrite of 1.7), but I don't remember exactly if this is actually a supported use case, or if it just happened to work by accident in 1.6. Perhaps someone else on this list can shed some light on this? -- Johan

Fuse woke up on a cot in a place that was completely unfamiliar to him. He sat up and looked around him, trying to remember where he was.
his sleep impaired memory returned with a wallop.
" Dreamgazer, my baby, my creation, my girl.. gone for good!"
He sat on the edge of the cot with his elbows on his knees, head in his hands. He didn't give a second thought to the fact that an entire planet had just disappeared into the cosmos.
A petite middle aged woman with short reddish brown hair entered the room. The cubicle held Fuse, the cot, a small table and nothing else. She carried a tray with her, and set it on the table.
" I scanned you while you were sleeping to find out what your digestive system could take. You're mostly human in origin, although I don't know what planet you come from."
When Fuse just stared at her without taking the hint, she continued.
"Since you just went through a dreadful trauma, I brought you some comfort food that the young people of my planet like."
Fuse picked up an oblong abject.
"What's this?"
"It's a hot dog," she smiled.
"The adults consider them junk food, but the kids like this kind of stuff. There's also a cheeseburger, some fries and a slice of pizza. If you don't throw up, then the nightmare you just went through didn't hurt you physically."
Fuse picked up the cold can of pop and read the label.
"Root Beer. I've had this before. It's from Earth."
" Yes it is. So are my son and I . Roget is the one who picked you up off of G27 before it became one with the universe. Did you set that time bomb to destroy the Kestinos?"
Fuse nodded while he wolfed down everything on the tray.
"Brilliant idea. There are Kestinos everywhere, but they aren't going to spread out from G27 anymore." She commented.
"Thanks, ma'am. I don't know if it was brilliant, I just didn't know what else to do."
He looked up at her and studied her human features. Silums were similar except for the third eye in the forehead. He was too busy and distraught to notice if Roget had even had one. silums had the ability to hide that eye if they chose to.
He had simply gone by the design of the ship to decide the occupants were also Silum.
"I thought you were Silum."
He finished the last bite and wiped his mouth with the napkin provided.
"The ship is of Silum design. It isn't as pretty or streamlined as some of the Earth designs, but It's stronger, faster in short bursts, and a good deal more durable."
He nodded in agreement.
"What's your, name?" she asked as she picked up the tray.
" Fuse Fervent. I just stopped to refuel at G27, then I was headed to Ithyon when the Kestinos attacked."
"My name is Via Dublin. You've met my son Roget, and my daughter Sesa are the owner operators of this ship, The Cosmicana. The upkeep and daily function is dealt with by the robotic crew. "
The mention of her ship reminded him of his own, the Dreamgazer.
" I had a ship of my own, a star fighter. I built her myself. She was called Dreamgazer. She's toast now."
He said sadly hanging his head in resolve and grief. That ship meant a lot to him. He thought of it as a living thing, her loss was like a death in the family.
"She's not exactly toast, but she is singed some. She was blasted off the planet by one of the explosions. You mentioned your ship before you passed out, so we went looking for her. She was floating in space, damaged, but fixable. Roget and Sesa are down in the hold now,cleaning her up to assess the damage."
Fuse jumped from the cot like a star burst.
"She's alive, My Dreamgazer is alive?' He cried.
Via laughed at his sudden animation.
"I'll take you to her." She said as she led the way.

My hands were curled into tight fists by my side as I tried to suppress the waves of fury that started to undulate within me. Anger was far too much of an underestimation for how I felt after Briony had revealed the truth to me. And to think I'd believed that she was being professional in her job.
Crumpling the picture up with the crush of my hand, I threw it hard against the wall. The light smack that reverberated against it wasn't enough of an outlet and I found myself trudging to the kitchen.
How much I wanted to leave the apartment, go to a bar, and down a few drinks. Apart from the professional/job-related side of this that Briony had screwed up, it deeply bothered me that she'd almost tried to protect her ex by hiding his picture.
What does that really mean Max?
It means she still has feelings for him.
Somehow, that thought was pounding in every corner of my mind, enough to drive me insane.
Searching through the cupboards, I looked for the usual packet of cigarettes that I had hidden somewhere in the corner before swearing underneath my breath. Damn myself for having given up smoking!
I needed some release!
Slamming the cupboard door shut, I paced back into the living room before sitting down with a huff on the couch. Crossing my arms tightly over my chest, I scowled into the empty space in front of me.
How could she have done this? To her job? To Boss? To me?
My chest stung slightly at the small betrayal. Or maybe I was just being over-dramatic? Yet it meant something to me that my partner-in-crime had decided to withhold such an important piece of information from me. It meant even more that a 'friend' I trusted would hurt me in such a way. After all, I'd been honest with her.
The soft sound of footsteps against the floor caught my attention and I looked up to see Briony standing a few feet away from me. Her eyes were puffy and red, as if she'd been crying and her lower lip trembled as she said, "I should probably go now."
"No," I hissed even before the words had completely left her mouth. Her eyes met mine, slightly hurt by my tone but I didn't care. "You're staying here." She took a step back, shaking her head.
"I think it's better for me to leave. Clearly, I'm not wanted here right now."
Quickly getting to my feet, I crossed the space between us and took rough hold of her arm, tugging her forward to compensate for the steps she'd taken back. "No. You are." Towering over her, I glared menacingly down at her. Her eyes reflected guilt, and tears rimmed over in them.
"I'm sorry," she whispered.
It was then that I realized...deep down something moved inside of me as I looked into her beautiful brown eyes. Unsettled.
I had fallen in love with her.

Remember Al Gore's PowerPoint show? Well, it went and won the Oscars. Okay, "˜The Inconvenient Truth' was more about alarming statistics than the Microsoft Office application. But it did show that data is one part of the story. How you weave media clips for PowerPoint into powerful presentation is another. There is a formulaic method behind creating a really great presentation 10 Powerpoint Tips for Preparing a Professional Presentation 10 Powerpoint Tips for Preparing a Professional Presentation Read More , but it is an art too.
Slideshare is a good place to see some really cool works of PowerPoint "˜art'. Check under your favorite category and you will feel genuinely inspired to do things with the graphics, fonts, bullets, sounds and audio/video clips on the canvas of a PowerPoint slide.
Whether you are on your first presentation or on your umpteenth, it's always better to be prepared with the right resources

Show and Make Presentations Online with 280 Slides (Updated)

to back up your ideas for the PowerPoint slides. So here's looking at 10 websites for free supplies of media clips for PowerPoint.
Sound Clips
Wave Central
I wanted to end one of my presentations with a "˜Beam me Up, Scotty' sound clip from Star Trek. I got the 11KB file from here. The site is not much to look at but it is a rich dump of sound clips from movies, TV, commercials and some special effects types too. The site has a search page, so it is easy to get to your sound clip if you know exactly what you are searching for. If you are searching for a "˜something like this' kind of a sound, then it's a chore as all files are listed by name only.
This is a community music site featuring remixes and samples licensed under Creative Commons 3 Tips For Getting More Out Of Creative Commons 3 Tips For Getting More Out Of Creative Commons Read More licenses. It includes many tracks with non-commercial sharing licenses and some under sampling licenses. Users can of course submit their own music and remixes. The site has very good organization with a bunch of categories and filters. Also, the "Download this page" feature allows you to download your preferred collection all at once. Overall, this website has a very selective bunch of MP3s. It's not for the run-of-the-mill presenter but more for the guy who knows what he is doing with his music.
Sound Bible
From prankish sounds (give the farts a miss in your PPTs) to cool sound effects, this site has a good collection. With the tiny sound clips you can add sound effects to your buttons or transitions. Sound clips fall under royalty-free and free sounds. A 'pleasing to the eye' look makes browsing complain-free. If you are looking for a specific sound and can't find it here, there's a simple request form for help.
The Open Directory Project
The DMOZ page on music and audio loops is worth a look. Though some of the websites mentioned there might not be free.
Movie Clips
The ultimate reservoir of videos will hopefully not be short of the perfect clip you are looking for. With a large user base YouTube is the perfect place to find a video corresponding to the idea you want to project. For instance, a visual demo can help make your "How To" presentations to be more effective.

In this article we reveal how to download (almost) any video off the internet. Read More
Internet Archive
The Internet Archive's Moving Images library contains thousands of digital movies uploaded by Archive users which ranges from classic full-length films, to daily alternative news broadcasts, to cartoons and concerts. Many of these videos are available for free download. The videos are grouped under sub-collections like computers, sports, youth media, independent news, spirituality etc. If the video falls under Creative Commons, the logo will appear on the left hand side of the movie's detail page.
Channel Federator
Nothing breaks monotony like humor; and cartoons are the best agents for it. Channel Federator is like the Cartoon Network for the web. It is a community-driven website of independent animators. From hand drawn sketches to slick Flash based ones; the uniqueness is that none of the cartoon podcasts are longer than 5 minutes. The short clips are perfect for presentations.
This is the human equivalent of the above animated one. From spoofs to extreme humor, the independent bunch of video creators takes a saucy look at everything. Right now, I am looking at a video on teamwork"¦ Could be useful for the next HR meeting. The clips are brief and embeddable.
One Web Resource for Comics Strips
– Fresher Image
This is not a top to bottom PowerPoint website, simply because clip arts and other graphics such as banners, bullets and buttons find other uses. But undoubtedly, this is a treasure trove. I find this website an invaluable source of free single panel comic strips.
One Web Resource for Animations
The site features about 13,748 free animations grouped in 18 categories for use in presentations or other web media. The site also has a little one-page section on animation tutorials. The one negative was the non-functioning search bar.
The internet is chock a bloc with freebies. The human problem is laying our hands on the right one at the right time. And with the boss breathing down your neck for the Monday morning presentation, speed becomes a vital though an inhibiting factor towards creating a great presentation. Let's hope these ready at hand resources give that bit of breathing space to let your inspired mind flow"¦ and kickass.

You might want to also check out retrocod.com. Home movie clips from the 20s through the 70s available via metadata search. The clips may be used either individually or combined into videos that can easily be embedded into PowerPoint.
There are some great links! Just wanted to say the third "Movie Clips" link is "Channel Frederator", not "Federator" ;)
yes, Al Gore's presentation is done in Keynote.. which is way cooler than powerpoint..
He is even shown many times working on a Mac in the video..


text: Several East Sangerville residents who have similar health problems think contaminated well water could be to blame.Their concerns spurred state officials today to re-test groundwater in a nearby gravel pit for heavy metals."If I have lead in my water, I'll take care of it. If it's in my system, I'll take care of it," says resident Dyann Chase. "But, just make people aware that this is happening, that's the only thing I want to see come of it."She says her late husband suffered from dementia before he passed away last fall. She doesn't know if it's related to similar health issues shared by her neighbors."When they spread the sludge, the ash and whatever else around, no one was notified. That bothers me I guess more than anything," she says.An experimental sludge-spreading project was carried out in the late nineties at the nearby Barrett gravel pit. "I remember when they laid that material in the pit," says resident Jake Jordan. "I wasn't sure at the time what it was, but we were told that it was harmless."A state official taking samples from monitoring wells referred our questions to a DEP director. Those calls were not returned. Officials have said it's unlikely heavy metals leaked into area well water or are to blame for the health issues."A lot of people don't want to stand up and say that they're sick," says resident Edward Palin. "But all of us are very similar here and it's very peculiar that over 20 people in this small radius have very similar symptoms, cognitive, Alzheimers, dementia."He says people didn't start making the connections until one neighbor spoke up and the story was reported in the Bangor Daily News."I'm angry for a couple of reasons. One, they never contacted us that there was a test site so close to our house," Palin says.Folks here say they're not blaming anyone until they have the facts."I'm not pointing my finger at anybody," Chase says.Jordan lives on the west side of the pit. "I'm going to test my well, anyway," he says.

'The Trip' Trailer – Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon Bicker in Some of England's Finest Restaurants
Posted on Thursday, May 5th, 2011 by Angie Han
A new trailer has been released for Michael Winterbottom's The Trip, starring Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon as fictionalized versions of themselves — similar to what they did in 2006's Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story. When Coogan's (fictional) foodie girlfriend dumps him, he reluctantly invites Brydon to join him on a ten-restaurant tour of North England as part of an assignment for The Observer. Much bickering, sniping, and mimicking of Michael Caine ensues. Watch the trailer after the jump.

Rovers start League 1 season with a win
Tranmere started the 2012-13 npower League 1 season with a 3-1 victory over Leyton Orient at Prenton Park.
Zoumana Bakayogo opened the scoring in the first half with summer signing Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro adding a brace after half time.
Though Orient pulled back a late goal from the penalty spot, Rovers were far enough ahead to extend their unbeaten home run to 13 matches.
Rovers dominated the early stages and after a cross from Andy Robinson went straight through the six yard box, Danny Holmes forced a good save out of Jamie Jones with a low drive towards the bottom left corner.
Ben Gibson was undone by the bounce of the ball on eight minutes but Kevin Lisbie was unable to take advantage of the situation from his position on the edge of the area.
James Wallace headed clear a dangerous free kick on 11 minutes and the Rovers captain combined well with Robinson nine minutes later before releasing Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro down the left wing but the striker's touch took the ball too close to the goalkeeper as he tried to cut past a defender.
Ash Taylor positioned himself well to block Dean Cox's volleyed attempt from 20 yards on 22 minutes and Gibson recovered well to prevent Lisbie running through on goal from 40 yards out soon after.
A powerful run from Wallace that saw him knock the ball one side of Nathan Clarke and run around the other to collect it ended with his 20 yard effort being blocked by Scott Cuthbert on 28 minutes.
Strong hold up play from Jake Cassidy allowed the striker to cross towards the penalty spot on 30 minutes but after the ball was cleared as far as Wallace 20 yards out, it didn't fall kindly for the midfielder and Orient cleared.
Rovers took the lead on 34 minutes. A long clearance from Owain Fon Williams was controlled by Cassidy and played into the path of Zoumana Bakayogo who ran into the left side of the area and calmly fired past Jones into the bottom left corner.
Wallace's strike from the edge of the area was deflected wide on 38 minutes, while Owain Fon Williams pulled off a fine save in injury time from David Mooney after the striker had flicked the ball between Taylor and Gibson and volleyed towards the far corner.
A through ball from Robinson fell right into the path of the overlapping Bakayogo on 55 minutes but his cross was hit straight at Jones rather than team mate Cassidy on the edge of the six yard box.
Wallace forced a corner on the right hand side on 57 minutes which eventually led to Tranmere's second goal. The cross was cleared as far as Palmer on the edge of the area and a long passing move involving Joe Thompson, Gibson and Bakayogo saw the ball reach Akpa Akpro 20 yards out. The former Rochdale striker moved it out of his feet before lifting it over the Orient defenders inside the area and into the top right corner giving Jones no chance of a save.
The lead was extended on 65 minutes. Wallace curled a dangerous cross to the far post from outside the area and Akpa Akpro got behind the Orient defence to head down and in off the body of Jones for his second goal for the Club.
Cassidy's long range effort went straight to Jones on 74 minutes while Taylor's header was comfortably saved by the keeper soon after.
Abdulai Bell-Baggie was introduced in place of Robinson on the left wing and double goalscorer Akpa Akpro was replaced by Cole Stockton as Ronnie Moore added some fresh legs for the closing stages.
Chorley headed wide at the far post from an Orient keeper on 85 minutes and Gibson got his body in the way of a Cox shot soon after.
However, the visitors pulled a goal back three minutes from time. A penalty awarded for a foul on Jimmy Smith was stroked home by Michael Symes, the striker sending Fon Williams the wrong way from the spot.

|RE: Aw: Finding a Memory Leak in a Web Application

Try using HAT (Heap Analysis Tool), you can download it from Sun. It allows you to take snap shots of the heap at run time and exports it as HTML pages.. letting you see just how many objects, and of what types have been created. - Chris.

Over time the size of the Java process grows but never shrinks back down. I'm not sure of the best way to find the leak. I can't afford expensive profiling tools like OptimizeIt, etc... It may be something as simple as a design flaw on my part... Here's my design: requests come into a servlet which creates vectors of objects from database data. These vectors are stored in the request scope and then I forward to a JSP page where the results are displayed from the Vectors. I assumed (incorrectly?) that since they were in the request scope they would be garbage collected after the request was over (which is when the page has been sent to the user, right?). Is this not the case? Any help/suggestions anyone has would be great!
