Vinyl Printer Cuts Records In Real-Time As Songs Play [Video]
Convert digital tracks in a matter of minutes.
Many people have given in and started to convert their old Vinyls to digital, but one German engineer has created a way to do the exact opposite. Souri Automaten's Vinyl Recorder is an effortless way to cut a new record in the time it takes for the song to play all the way through. Suffice to say it caused quite the stir on the trade floor at this year's SXSW.
To create your own vinyl, you just connect the record lathe to a music player of your choice, and once you hit play, a diamond stylus will cut the record in real-time based on the sound vibrations produced from the playing music. At $4,000, the device isn't cheap, but it's not being aimed at individuals. It could be the perfect way for bands and musicians to produce limited-edition vinyls of their latest releases without having to meet minimum order quantities at larger facilities.
Here's the vinyl recorder in action:
Automaten came up with the idea almost 30 years ago, purely as a way for him to continue listening to the music he loved on a jukebox in the factory where he worked. While he probably had no idea that vinyl would become so popular again, it's clear there will be plenty of people interested in his contraption.

stir fried greens
I have a cold and I feel pretty ordinary. So I'm eating simple food that's easy to prepare and easy to eat while snuggled up under a blanket.
Today's lunch is one of my go to dishes when I am not feeling well, a big bowl of stir fried greens. Today it is snow peas, plus some leaves and shoots from some bolting savoy cabbages in the garden, spiced up with garlic and chilli and soy. In Asia the greens would most likely be kangkong also known as water spinach, morning glory and a number of other names.
The traditional recipe from lots of countries in south-east asia has belacan shrimp paste in it. I have a vegan belacan paste made from soy that I bought from The Cruelty Free Shop. They also have vegan fish sauce. Both of these are great for making south-east asian food taste authentic. Neither the original or vegan varieties taste fishy.
But they add an important salty, fermented character that makes asian food taste, well, asian.
Here's today's recipe:
- ½ tablespoon coconut oil
- 2 cloves garlic (sliced thinly)
- 1 hot chilli (sliced thinly)
- ¼ teaspoon vegan belacan paste (or less if you're scared)
- 4-6 cups robust greens of any kind (coarsley chopped)
- 10 snow peas
- water
- soy sauce
- kecap manis (indonesian sweet soy)
- Heat the oil in a large pan or wok. It should be hot.
- Add the garlic, chilli and belacan paste and stir fry quickly for about 10 seconds. Don't let the garlic burn.
- Add the greens, stir fry until they wilt. If the need some assistance add a few tablespoons of water, stirring all the time. Don't overcook, the greens should still be a beautiful green and have some bite.
- Turn off the heat and add soy and kecap manis to taste.

Killeen Daily Herald
COLLEGE STATION – Tigerland Stadium already has green field turf, but on Thursday it seemed as if the venue on the campus of A&M Consolidated High School was painted with another type of green – Ellison Eagles green.
The Eagles boys and girls track and field teams each claimed a District 12-5A team championship. The boys team recorded 140 points to Temple's 102, and the Lady Eagles edged A&M Consolidated, 126-120.
"Our kids performed well all year and we came into this thing believing we could win it all," said Ellison boys coach Larry Moore. "I'm really proud of these kids and the way they performed."
The Eagles recorded points in 12 of the 17 events, and had at least one top-three finish in 10 of the 12 events in which they scored points.
The top-three finishers in each event qualified for the Region II-5A meet May 1-2 in Waco.
Ellison also won four events, including the 400- and 800-meter relays.
As far as the Lady Eagles were concerned, coach Halle Paauw was not only pleased with her team title in the varsity, but also the fact that her junior varsity and freshman teams won their district crowns as well.
"As a program, the girls competed incredibly well," Paauw said. "Every single person contributed to our teams' successes."
For Ellison, sweeping the girls team championships was a goal they set on Aug. 24 – the first day of school.
"We met the first day of school to discuss goals for the season, and the top goal for each of these girls was to win the district championship," Paauw said.
The varsity Lady Eagles recorded points in 13 of the 17 events, and had region qualifiers in nine.
Ellison recorded four first-place finishes, with sophomore Kehri Jones playing a part in three of them, including the long jump, the 100 and the anchor leg on the champion 400 relay team.
"I was confident that I could win a few district championships," Jones said. "Although I've competed at this level before, I still was a little nervous at first. But now, it's time to get ready for the region meet."
In addition to her trio of gold medals, Jones finished second in the 200 dash behind Shoemaker's Chaniqua Corinealdi, who also qualified in the 100 with a second-place finish, and ran the first leg of the third-place 1,600 relay team.
Corinealdi was in Ohio last year, where she qualified for the state meet.
"My state meet experience from Ohio should help me in the region meet," Corinealdi said.
Corinealdi won't be the only Lady Grey Wolf competing in multiple events. Jahyda Reed will compete in four. Reed joined Corinealdi on the 1,600 relay team, finished second in the 300 hurdles and won both the 100 hurdles and high jump.
"My goal, in addition to qualifying in the high jump and mile relay, was to qualify in the hurdles," Reed said. "To win these events proved to be icing on the cake. It'll be back to work on Monday, though."
One of the more intriguing stories of the day was the feat accomplished by Aliese Hyde of Harker Heights and P.J. Hardy of Ellison. Both athletes participated in three events and came away with three gold medals.
"I was hoping to win the 800 (run) and just qualify in the others (400 run and 1,600 relay)," Hyde said. "It was great to be able to win all three."
Hyde, who took third in the state in the 800 last season, won that event by nearly three seconds and won the 400 by seven-hundredths of a second before running the second leg of the champion 1,600 relay team.?
The Copperas Cove Lady Bulldawgs qualifed for the region meet in three events, and Koye Hickson had a hand in all three.
Hickson took third in the 200 dash, ran the anchor leg on the second-place 400-relay and the anchor leg on the champion 800 relay.
Hickson will compete in her third region meet in as many years.
"I know what to expect, and we can't take anything for granted," Hickson said. "We have to give 100-perent effort in everything."
Another big story for Ellison was Steven White, who upset 300 hurdles favorite Tevin Reese by five-tenths of a second to claim the gold medal in the event. White also qualifed for the 110 hurdles and the 1,600 relay – both with second-place finishes.
White, one of two seniors on Ellison's team, has one goal in mind – state.
"I plan on going to Austin this year," White said. "I have to train hard with heart and will. I'm not going to give up and I'm not going to fall."
And, if that happens, Clyde Hart Stadium in Waco could also be painted in Ellison green.

Children are probably safer in the Afghan capital Kabul than London or Glasgow, an official at international organisation Nato has told Newsround.
Sonali met Afghan kids who are afraid of the bombs in their country, and put their fears to Mark Sedwill from Nato.
He said: "There are very few of those bombs... Children are probably safer here than they would be in London, New York or Glasgow or many other cities."
But others disagree, saying Afghanistan is the worst place a child can be born.
Growing up in a war zone: Trailer
Justin Forsyth, a spokeswoman for the international Save the Children charity, said one in four children who live in Afghanistan will not reach their fifth birthday.
Mark Sedwill's comments were made during an interview with Sonali in Kabul, for a two-part Newsround Special on Afghanistan.
Lots of news organisations have been talking about what he said, but he said it's taken the focus away from the important point he was trying to make.
He said: "In cities like Kabul, where security has improved, the total levels of violence are comparable to those which many western children would experience.
"For most Afghans, the biggest challenges are from poverty - the absence of clean water, open sewers, malnutrition, disease - and many more children are at risk from those problems than from the insurgency."
Programme 1 - Growing Up In A War Zone: A Newsround Special will broadcast on CBBC on Monday 22nd November at 18.15. Repeated on BBC One Thursday 25th November at 17.00.
Programme 2 - The Children Of Kabul : A Newsround Special will broadcast on CBBC on Monday 29th November at 18.15. Repeated on BBC One Thursday 2nd December at 17.00.

TWENTY-SEVEN years on from the first SS60's tour, the franchise shows no sign of slowing with yet another stellar line-up of acts.
Opening both halves of the show, and providing the musical backing for everyone was the marvellous Vanity Fare.
Long admired by their peers and fans for their professionalism and vocal harmonies, they too had a number of hits to perform; such as I Live For the Sun and Hitchin' a Ride.
The previously mentioned harmonies were much in evidence on their accapella rendition of Billy Joel's The Longest Time.
After a trio of songs, Brian Poole took to the stage to sing some of the hits he enjoyed when he was lead singer with The Tremeloes, such as I Want Candy and Someone Someone, finishing the set with the chart-topping Do You Love Me.
Next up was Chris Montez, who battled through a bad throat to sing his greatest hits like Some Kinda Fun before performing the more reflective songs in his repertoire including Call Me and The More I See You. Call Me in particular was interesting as it was very jazz influenced.
Chris finished his half-dozen song set with – of course – Let's Dance.
The second half brought us Brian Hyland, whose lengthy set included the hits Ginny Come Lately, Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini and Sealed With a Kiss.
Strangely enough, he played all his biggest hits halfway through his set and, in a polished and no-nonsense manner, went on to play his versions of Whiter Shade of Pale and Jimi Hendrix's All Along The Watchtower.
Up to that point, it had to be admitted that Hyland had been the best of the acts so far (although had Montez been fully fit I reckon he would have challenged that, but the best was yet to come.
The man we were all waiting for – Peter Noone – bounded on stage like someone much younger than his years, and his hometown crowd gave him a fantastic reception.
Peter has not lost his cheeky, boyish charm and his interraction with the audience endeared him further with the almost sell-out crowd.
His voice has lasted exceedingly well and the pitch does not seem to have lowered much like most do.
Most of the hits of Hermans Hermits were performed very much as we remembered them from the records.
Beginning with I'm Into Something Good, he also sang – amongst others – Silhouettes, No Milk Today, Sunshine Girl and My Sentimental Friend; before winding up proceedings with Something Is Happening and There's a Kind of Hush.
However, I would have preferred She's a Must to Avoid and Mrs Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter rather than The End of the World and Wonderful World.
The whole ensemble appeared for a brief finale before leaving the appreciative audience.
Another great line-up – can't wait for next year's show.

One of many talkers at Friday's Olympics opening ceremony was the extensive playlist that included everyone from The Kinks to David Bowie to Blur.
Minutes after the ceremony ended, a soundtrack album went on sale in the iTunes store. For $19.99 you can purchase a bundle of tracks used during the festivities, like the Chariots of Fire theme, the Pet Shop Boys' West End Girls and the Arctic Monkeys' cover of the Beatles' Come Together.
The album, titled Isles of Wonder, already has reached No. 1 in Britain, France, Belgium and Spain. This bodes well for a second Olympics album scheduled to be released after the Aug. 12 closing ceremony.
Feel free to buy what moves you, although I have a feeling Pop Candy readers might prefer to pick and choose from the full list of tracks heard during the show. This list names songs you won't find on the album, like The Jam's Going Underground, The Specials' A Message to You, Rudy (love that song!) and OMD's Enola Gay. (By the way, was anyone else surprised to see/hear Frankie Goes to Hollywood get so much love?)
Happy listening, and here's hoping your Britpop craving is temporarily satisfied.

Why graduates need to 'get real' – What we have learned from recent graduate recruitment
Times are certainly still tough in the economic environment and I have a lot of sympathy for all young people who are finding the job market to be difficult. It's been a while since I graduated but we at The RHL Group have recently been disappointed by the behaviour of recent university graduates who seem to have questionable attitudes to their own job searches and simply complying with the client's application process.
The Occupational Psychology Group (OPG) part of the Ramsey Hall Group, has been assessing large numbers of graduates on behalf of clients as well as for our own expansion. We've found varying attitudes to the recruitment process, which has been quite a surprise.
Firstly, some graduates seem oblivious to the state of the graduate recruitment market and did not even have the courtesy of contacting the recruiter when they wished to withdraw from the selection process or when they were late completing assessments. We regularly hear comments such as, "I was busy over the weekend" and "I did not have time to complete the assessments" despite being given plenty of time by the companies we are acting for.
We've also noticed candidates are sometimes late in completing assessments or they need the personal attention of our support team to encourage completion and give further instruction – frustrating when we are told in the press that times are particular tough for the under 25s. These behaviours seem very inappropriate in what can be said to be a 'buyers' market' where employers have an extensive selection of candidates, all apparently with excellent 'paper based' skills.
With a few exceptions, all these young people have several things in common. Our team have found that these candidates perform less well in their ability tests than their peers and they often appear to have psychometric profiles which suggest a lower preference for working with numbers and data. Also significant is that some of the candidates seemed not to understand simple instructions on how to complete the assessments – these are all highly educated university graduates, often looking for work in highly technical or at least skilled environments.
This suggests that merely completing the assessments, or not doing so, is a useful assessment of attitude and/or ability and likely work behaviours in its own right as well as being a natural filter for weeding out unsuitable applicants when candidates fail to adhere to the process.
We recommend therefore that all graduate employers need to introduce ability testing and personality assessment as part of the graduate hiring process. The cost need not be high with online testing being the most popular assessment tools but the results are telling and will help clients mitigate risk and save money training low potential employees.
The OPG is the business psychology practice of Ramsey Hall and can be contacted on 02380 236944. www.theopg.co.uk
This article reflects the views of Matthew Davis, Director and are entirely his own based on over 21 years experience in recruitment, selection and assessment

I have been researching - way too much. Such conflicting information. We want granite but we are concerned about radon, quartz (the only colors we like anyway) is getting out of our budget, plus I think granite is prettier. I don't really want laminate, but I also don't want radon. Are there off gassing concerns with laminate? Please help me, my head is starting to spin. We have four children and I want a safe option. I like butcher block counters, but we have wood cabinets, floors, and doors, it would just be too much!
Thanks for your help.
I feel for you! I went through this a few years ago and ended up with quartz. But I never heard of Radon in granite, yikes! Radon scares me. But if you seal it regularly would that stop it?
I really wanted the white carrara marble, but the staining and sealing seemed like too much for me. We ended up with a look-alike from CeasarStone. I will say I love the CeasarStone, heat proof, cut proof, stain proof, no sealing treatments, love it.
I also considered a wood counter top but thought the same way you do. Wood cabinets, wood floor, wood hutch, too much wood.

The granite we are looking at is sealed with a 15 year guarantee, so no regular sealing. I don't imagine sealing would help anyway though, as I'm imagining it radiating out. Not really sure though. Thanks for the reply!
Wow, things sure do change fast. Just a few years ago no one mentioned a pre-sealed granite that did not need yearly sealing.
Also you asked about laminate, I believe that off gasses the most. Just like a pressed wood cabinet off gasses more that solid wood.. I think it is like a plywood or pressed board under the laminate.

We had the same fears regarding the granite. We went with a manufactured quartz, which was comparable in price to granite. They counters look great, and they have a 15 year warranty. Unfortunately, we have already had a dime-size piece chip out. The company came and patched it at no charge. It looks OK, but not as perfect as before.
I've also noticed that when I wipe my finger along the underside of the counters, where it's not glossed to a shine, I get dust on my finger. Thirty years from now there will be some health concern about that, I'm sure. I keep trying to tell myself that nothing is perfect!
The countertops we got were Green Guard Certified for indoor air quality. The ONLY reason we did not go with laminate was because of the off-gassing issue. I have read recently though that there are formaldehyde-free MDF boards to mount the laminate on. Not sure if that's true or not - did not research it indepth.
Good luck with your decision!
Oh, and be careful with some of the manufactured quartz. We were set to go with Silestone until I learned they are treated with Microban! I did not want THAT mixed into my countertop where we prepare food!

I thought the same thing! Why does everyone think this is so great? That and Stainguard on furniture, I always hated that. My MIL is always having her furniture treated, yuck!

Ugh, I didn't think about the microban..... too many things to consider! I'm surprised about the chip out of the quartz, thats dissappointing, I thought it was stronger than that. This has been very helpful. Please keep the replies coming!
From what I've read the radon issue varies between granite varieties. Also, I decided I'd rather have granite than quartz with the Microban and all the resin that they mix into the bits of actual stone. Depending on granite they can really be quite maintenance-free. Ours has not been sealed since installation and it should never need it (this is true for most of the dark-coloured varieties, ours is dark green/black). I am not the neatest housekeeper so it's not unusual for splatters or spills to sit on the counter for a day (ok, sometimes a few days) before being noticed and cleaned up, and they come off with a soapy sponge. We got a little sample from the supplier and poured a bunch of stuff on it (lime juice, olive oil, soya sauce, ketchup, balsamic vinegar) and left it overnight. The next day we rinsed it off and you couldn't see any marks or anything - I'd definitely do this kind of test on any surface you're considering, including quartz.
With the laminate you definitely have a less expensive option and some of them look quite nice these days. The only thing is that I feel like there are a lot of glues used in it so off-gassing would definitely be a concern. Soapstone is pretty inert but it is pricey and different - you either love it or you don't. It can also be tricky to find a good fabricator/installer for it.
I've been l looking into non-toxic, enviro-friendly and less expensive counter top options and one of the green renovation books I have suggests paper-resin counters, and counters made from recycled glass, I haven't been able to get price comparisons for these things yet, but just thought I'd throw them out there since I didn't see them mentioned yet.

I looked into those options and they are SUPER expensive. Such a shame they have to price them so high.
Our quartz is La Viaterra or some brand like that (can't remember!). It is NOT treated with Microban like the Silestone. Now we're looking into floors, and I found this great cork laminate floating floor. We were considering having it installed, then I see in the brochure that it's treated with Microban! You just can't win. Why take a "green" product and then treat it with something toxic?!!
Now I know very little about this but wouldn't stainless steel be a safe option but I am not sure on the price of that It might be more than the granite ! But I think it is worth checking into unless they is something I don't know about stainless that would make it an unsafe option! It would look pretty good too!
Me to DH: "Does someone have to worry about radon in their granite countertop"
DH: "Not really. Chances are that the amount of radon is so small that it is not an issue. That is if the piece of granite even had radon in it and you would not know unless you tested it. The radon could be an issue in a very small non ventilated kitchen with no air flow where the radon can build up and most houses are not that tight."
DH is a certified Radon inspector and analyst with the NRPP.
I"m going to do this to my countertops: check it out!
Radon in granite made the news when we were building our new house -
There are HUGE variations in the amounts that come out of the stone.
I had someone come out with a radon detector and check our granite before it was installed. Luckily, it was low.
DS, 10/07. Allergies: peanut, egg, wheat. We've added dairy back in. And taken it back out again. It causes sandpaper skin with itchy patches and thrashing during sleep. Due w/ #2 late April, 2012.
On laminate, I don't know about the formadelhyde free backings, but one option I had heard of was to install it on all sides of the backing - it would seal in most of the nasty. But you obviously couldn't use preformed counters for this.
Another option might be to buy some sealer and seal the bottom really well before it's installed - it would also reduce off-gassing. AFM makes sealers for stuff like this.
Not sure, but I think that at least some soapstone has asbestos in it. I sure wouldn't want that cut in my house for installation!
I haven't found an option I'm thrilled with for counters - many of the greener ones are $$$. And I would not say that stone is green, if that is what you're aiming for.

Oil workers airlifted from remote airstrips in the Libyan desert praised their rescuers as they touched down in the UK. Special forces using two RAF Hercules transporters picked up 150 civilians – mostly Britons – on Saturday night as security continued to deteriorate across the country.
Mike O'Donoghue, 62, from Bridlington, East Yorkshire, was one of those who arrived at Gatwick last night. "My heart and hand goes out to them," he said about his rescuers. "They are the best in the world and they make it look so easy, like all good professionals."
O'Donoghue said he and his colleagues were robbed by local militia armed with guns and knives as they waited at their compound in the south of the country. Even as they boarded their rescue flight, he said, men armed with machetes tried to attack their aircraft. "When we got on the plane there were two locals attacking the tyres with machetes and the special forces told them to stop. Fortunately someone tackled them and brought these guys down but they were in a very difficult situation."
Arthur Piper, from Ormskirk, Lancashire, was another of the 116 passengers on the flight from Malta. He said: "From start to finish the situation was handled very well by the people on the ground … The day before, we waited around for six hours for an aircraft. That didn't arrive so worried you have got to be. But the local people were great and I have got to express our thanks. They need all the help they can get." Piper said he felt safe in his living quarters, but added there had been "a few marauding gangs".
Paul Powell, 34, from Glasgow, said: "We were told that we were going to get an army convoy to pick us up and take us through the desert to a secret location. It just happened. We got told that there was a plane and then go. It went smoothly." He described his rescuers as "absolutely brilliant" but added: "We have also got to thank the Libyan people and those left behind."

Hi there,
The module is working fine if drupal file system is set to public. When I try to set the file system to private, I get the following error :
TCPDF ERROR: [Image] Unable to get image: http://xxxxxx.com/system/files/styles/large/private/test/main-picture/ma...
I can access the picture with the direct link but TCPDF seems to have some problems with it.
I tried :
- To modify php.ini (allow_url_fopen = On; allow_url_include = On;)
- To modify the tcpdf cache folder permissions to 777
- To update the tcpdf config file following this post instructions http://drupal.org/node/1220408#comment-5732246
Does anybody has the pictures displaying in there pdf view while being in private file system mode ?
Any idea what I could try ?
Drupal version : 7.12
Views PDF version : 7.x-1.x-dev

Having similar isue. I have a QR-code (generated with the barcode module) but when I try to generate the pdf with the QR-code image (.png) in it I get:
TCPDF ERROR: [Image] Unable to get image: http://localhost:8080/drupac/sites/default/files/barcodes/0a0cd8c000bc7b...

Having a similar issue when trying to add a .PNG to a PDF.
TCPDF ERROR: [Image] Unable to get image: http://somesite.com/sites/default/files/some_image(14).png?1334900150
Have tried changing permissions on files directory. I do not think that this is a permissions issue.
Comment #4firebird CreditAttribution: firebird commented
This happens if the anonymous users don't have the permission to view the images. The HTML given to the TCPDF library has the image URLs in relative format "/path/to/image".
On line 23092 of tcpdf.php:
// replace relative path with real server path
if (($tag['attribute']['src'][0] == '/') AND !empty($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']) AND ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] != '/')) {
The URLs are converted to absolute URLs, and then fetched with cURL. Since cURL is basically an anonymous user, it can't get the images.
I'm working on a solution.
EDIT: Also, you need to solve this issue first: http://drupal.org/node/1420812 . If your images are orphaned, they can't be downloaded by anyone. This should be obvious even before trying to generate the PDF, though.
Comment #5firebird CreditAttribution: firebird commented
And here's the patch. It is a bit hacky, since it uses HTTP-requests to check for access to the file in question. Nonetheless, it works for me.
Comment #6firebird CreditAttribution: firebird commented
And here's another version that can deal with absolute URLs in the src-attribute.
Comment #7cluther CreditAttribution: cluther commented
I'm experiencing this issue, but even with Drupal set to public file system. (Views_PDF works on my local dev box but not on our VPS and the TDPDF examples work on the VPS).
The error:
TCPDF ERROR: [Image] Unable to get image: http://kb.myvps.net/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/images/IMG_3...
However I can view this file directly in the browser.
Following Clem's lead I've:
- Modified php.ini (allow_url_fopen = On; allow_url_include = On;)
- CHMOD the tcpdf cache folder permissions to 777
- Updated tcpdf_config.php to point to my sites/default/files folder.
I tried applying both patches, however getting and error:
patch < views_pdf-issue_with_private_files-1509534-5.patch
patching file views_pdf_template.php
Hunk #1 FAILED at 398.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file views_pdf_template.php.rej
Suggestions anyone?

I'm not using file entity module as i'm using media 7.x-1.0.
This worked on my local machine, but when i uploaded to a hosted server, I got the error.
Comment #18firebird CreditAttribution: firebird commented
The error message mentioned in the original post? ("Unable to get image...")
The TCPDF library uses, by default, a cache directory in the library directory (which isn't the right place at all for a cache directory, but that's a different story).
So, the directory at /sites/all/libraries/tcpdf/cache should be writable by the web server. Is it?
Comment #19gillarf CreditAttribution: gillarf commented
Thanks for your help @firebird
Yes its the same issue - TCPDF ERROR: [Image] Unable to get image: [mysite]/sites/default/files/styles/journal/public/DSC05246.JPG
And the tcpdf cache folder is writable by the server. In fact it is 777 at the moment.
BUT, looking at the address above in my error, that file does not exist.
What would cause that - do you know?
EDIT: the file was there, i hadn't refreshed - DOH.
So I have the original issue, despite having patched the module.
Comment #20firebird CreditAttribution: firebird commented

Comment #21vegansupreme CreditAttribution: vegansupreme commented
I've applied the patch (rc1) but I'm still getting TCPDF ERROR: [Image] Unable to get image:…
When I check the logs, it says the user was anonymous. Is the patch supposed to allow TCPDF to access the files as the current user? If so, that doesn't seem to be happening for me.
Comment #22gillarf CreditAttribution: gillarf commented
Apologies for slow reply - *somehow* this just seemed to suddenly work....
Thanks for your help, I think it was a permission problem.
I still have folders set to 777 though - do you know what they should be?
Comment #23firebird CreditAttribution: firebird commented
This issue was / is a complete pain in the ass to debug. I saw the same error messages all of you are seeing several times, with different configurations and directory permissions. I'm afraid I can't really help you much more.
@vegansupreme: As to what the patch does: When generating the pdf, normally the TCPDF library uses cURL to fetch the images that it then adds to the pdf. If anonymous users don't have the permission to view the images, you'll get the error. The workaround is to load the images in Drupal with the logged in user, and base64-encoding the images in the document being sent to TCPDF, so it doesn't need to do the cURL requests.
In other words, this patch _only_ helps you if your problem is caused by your Drupal permissions set so that anonymous users can't see the images.
@gillarf: 777 is a bit too much. I'd recommend 775, with the owner / group of the directory set to your shell user / the web server user's group respectively. If your web server is running on your user account, 755 is enough.
Comment #24gillarf CreditAttribution: gillarf commented
@firebird thanks - much appreciated.
Comment #25Simon Georges CreditAttribution: Simon Georges commented
Can someone summarize the issue for me? Is there actually something to fix there?
Comment #26gillarf CreditAttribution: gillarf commented
I think #4 describes the problem. TCPDF accesses files as an anonymous user, so if anonymous user does not have permission to access the files, there is an error.
The patch worked for me.
@firebird should be able to explain better than I.

I still get the error "TCPDF ERROR: [Image] Unable to get image: .... sites/all/libraries/tcpdf/cache/...."
Comment #29gillarf CreditAttribution: gillarf commented
What about the permissions for the actual file? Did you refresh the cache?
Comment #30agnese.stelce CreditAttribution: agnese.stelce commented

Hi agnese.stelce,
thanks for the effort but I really need to use the rc1 version of views pdf because I need the php fields to create columns.
The patch doesn't work on the rc1 version, maybe I should try to make the changes manually?

yes, patch is against 7.x-1.0 but you can try those changes manually - it should work also on rc1.

I ran into this topic while looking for my particular problem with Views PDF:
TCPDF ERROR: [Image] Unable to get image: /storage/web/public/modules/file/icons/text-plain.png
I.e. I have a view with files attached, displayed as a file table (which includes text-plain.png in file / Drupal core). The problem is that the path "/storage/web/public" doesn't exist and I do not know why or where it is generated. The particular image is located at /modules/file/icons/text-plain.png...
I am using a private filesystem and running a multi-site setup, but I'm not sure it has anything to do with this particular issue. I've applied the supplied patches and even installed the Image Base64 Formatter, but so far to no avail.
Any suggestions?
Comment #38killua99 CreditAttribution: killua99 commented
Did you try permissions thing? or try to move the file ? I guess I never see an image inside any module. Might be that the reason? try to move the image and test if continue the error.
Comment #39simone960 CreditAttribution: simone960 commented
Is this issue fixed? I'm still encountering this problem in 7.x-1.5, it shows the error when generating the pdf. I'm using the private file system too. Anyone already solved this ?
TCPDF ERROR: [Image] Unable to get the size of the image: http://example.com/system/files/webform/picture/example.jpg
Comment #40vegansupreme CreditAttribution: vegansupreme commented
In my experience, check to see if an anonymous user can see the image in question. If not, TCPDF will most likely not be to access it either. I've been using Image Style Access to make whatever image style you want to use for your PDF, viewable to anonymous. There's another module I believe called Private files download permission, but I found that to be somewhat buggy. With that module enabled, I was unable to restore DB backups because of foreign key constraints.
Comment #41simone960 CreditAttribution: simone960 commented
You are right, if only anonymous user can see the image will the TCPDF can generate the pdf. I try to change from private file to public file and it works well. But my purpose to use private is to protect my file from anonymous user to access as all images are private and confidential, if I were to expose them to the anonymous user, then no point to set the file system to private.
Besides, since I generate the pdf with admin login, I expect the module knows I have access to the private image file and allow me to generate the pdf. But seems now the issue is not the module itself, I guess that's how TCPDF works. If so, wondering any way to solve this so that TCPDF will generate the pdf as long as the generator has access to the image and not imposing for anonymous access. After all, all libraries files and module are working within the drupal. Hope someone can clarify and assist further. I find this module just awesome. Thanks !
Comment #42killua99 CreditAttribution: killua99 commented
@Simon Georges If do you have any kind of solution or want to apply a different approach about this feature please open a new issue with some proposal solution.
To access private file in anonymous use you should use custom modules that allow views PDF to access this files, now I don't remember their names because I've never use them also was long time I hear from them.
No idea if we should include a permission to allow use private files as anonymous users (or run time, some people use cron system to generate the PDFs with private files).
Comment #43vegansupreme CreditAttribution: vegansupreme commented
@Simone960, When using Image Style Access, you only grant access to a specific style, not the original image. Since Drupal now uses tokens for image styles, it would be nearly impossible to hotlink these images. For my sites, I don't use these special styles anywhere else on the site, so even authorized users wouldn't see these image styles, and couldn't share the link with someone not authorized.
Ideally this module would allow TCPDF to access the filesystem as the current logged in user. I'm not sure how to accomplish this.

text: NAJAF, Iraq (AP) American tanks charged into the center of this holy city on Friday and shelled positions held by fighters loyal to a radical cleric who launched an uprising against the U.S.-led coalition last month. Explosions and gunfire rocked several neighborhoods, and civilians scurried for cover.The U.S. attack in Najaf was a major push against cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, whose followers fought intense battles with American forces this week in another holy city, Karbala. The intensifying battles have eclipsed efforts by Iraqi political and tribal leaders to forge a peaceful solution to the confrontation ahead of a planned transfer of sovereignty to Iraqis on June 30.Much of the fighting in Najaf happened in the citys vast cemetery, a maze of footpaths and graves that offers ample hiding space for militiamen. Several tanks rumbled into the cemetery, and American troops moved along main roads in the city near the Imam Ali shrine, one of the holiest sites in Shia Islam. U.S. helicopters and a jet fighter flew over the city.Al-Sadr, who faces an arrest warrant in the murder of a moderate rival cleric in April 2003, was holed up at his office near the shrine. The American incursion was the deepest yet into Najaf, and U.S. soldiers also appeared to have cut off the main road between Najaf and nearby Kufa, where al-Sadr routinely delivers a Friday sermon.The young cleric lacks the spiritual stature of Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Husseini al-Sistani, Iraqs most influential Shiite cleric, and his confrontational tactics have exasperated moderate Shiites who want an end to the fighting.Still, al-Sadr has the support of thousands of poor, urban Shiites and he has capitalized on hostility toward the coalition that escalated after revelations of abuse of Iraqi prisoners by U.S. soldiers.The United States released more than 300 Iraqi detainees from Abu Ghraib prison on Friday, a day after Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld made a surprise visit and insisted the Pentagon did not try to cover up abuses there.The coalition periodically releases prisoners from Abu Ghraib, the notorious Saddam-era jail on the western outskirts of Baghdad where the international scandal over the abuses has damaged the credibility of the coalition. There are more than 3,000 prisoners at the jail.Images of abuse were taken by American military guards at the prison. Courts-martial have been ordered for three military police guards.In Najaf, militiamen took cover at street corners and retreated into alleyways and residential areas. Young men gathered in some places to watch the fighting, and smoke rose from at least two locations.Residents reported intermittent gunfire in Karbala on Friday as U.S. soldiers again clashed with militiamen of al-Sadrs al-Mahdi Army. But fighting was not as intense as in previous days.On Thursday, Muslim clerics and political leaders in Karbala named Shakir Abdul-Amir, a former major general in Saddams army, to mediate an end to the fighting. U.S. officials have said they would welcome Iraqis who wanted to resolve the conflict with al-Sadr peacefully, but there was no indication that such negotiating efforts were yielding results.Al-Sadrs militia became a major problem for the United States in early April, when his fighters swept across the Shiite heartland south of Baghdad, capturing police stations and government buildings.A U.S. Marine assigned to the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force died of non-hostile causes on Thursday, and the death was under investigation, the U.S. command said. The Marines operate in Anbar province, a region west of Baghdad that includes Fallujah and other former strongholds of Saddam Hussein where insurgents are active.As of Thursday, 773 U.S. service members have died since the beginning of military operations in Iraq last year, according to the Department of Defense. Of those, 563 died as a result of hostile action and 210 died of non-hostile causes.It was unclear if the latest death was in the Pentagon count.Northeast of Baghdad, a bomb exploded in front of the house of a tribal chief, killing him and one of his daughters. The motive for the killing in Muqdadiyah of Roukan Mughir, head of the Miahi tribe, was unclear. However, residents said he had been cooperating with American forces.Iraqi insurgents often target Iraqis viewed as collaborators with the coalition.Another daughter and a son of the chief were injured in the blast, hospital officials said.

Up close and personal into the living space of a families former home, leaving many questions unanswered.
Who were they and where did they go?
Now all that remains are the derelict foundations and deteriorating decor as it peels away layer by layer.
Some clues are left, giving you the chance to use your own imagination as to what sort of people lived here and what it was like.
Shape, form and detail is the main theme that is captured in this documentory record, which is proof first hand that nothing lasts for ever...

Read the Detailed Upgrade Instructions if you want more intricately carved steps!!!
Upgrading a customized copy of WordPress can be a little tricky. Fear not. This guide will help make quick work of upgrading your jazzed-up WordPress! We watch out for you and will provide pointers to protect yourself against disasters (which other software providers might call "user errors").
Before we start, you need to understand that WordPress is easy to upgrade. Preserving your customizations is the part that makes this a 5-step process instead of 3-step one. We would like you to believe this is a 5-minute process, but the part about backing up your stuff might take a little more than 5 minutes if you are a prolific blogger.
The steps to a healthy upgrade are as follows:
Let us assume your blog has a URI like http://example.com/wordpress/.
Here, the objective is to save the data, and your customizations.
Use phpMyAdmin, or tools provided by your webhost to backup the database used by WordPress.
Basically, save the files that you have changed or added since you installed the plain-jane WordPress. Use a FTP tool to download a copy of all the files on the server, in the directory where you installed WordPress, including the .htaccess files if you have been playing with it. Backup at least the .htaccess file, the files used by your current theme (which will be in the /wp-content/ directory), the /wp-images/ directory with your uploaded images and files, any WordPress core files that you modified to use some "hack" directory, and the wp-config.php file which contains your database username, password etc.
Deactivate all the Plugins you use at the Plugin Management Page ( http://example.com/wordpress/wp-admin/plugins.php ). Some Plugins might not work with WordPress 2.0, and that is why you want to deactivate them all. This will ensure that you don't end up with an upgraded-but-broken installation of WordPress after the upgrade process.
Get the latest and greatest WordPress and upload it to the WordPress directory, overwriting all the files that exist there. This will preserve your images and themes. What if something goes wrong, you ask? Well, did we not create a backup of all files in Step 1? You can fall back upon them in the worst case scenario.
Visit your blog's Upgrade Page ( http://example.com/wordpress/wp-admin/upgrade.php ) and follow the trail.
Awaken the monsters, one by one, at the Plugin Management Page ( http://example.com/wordpress/wp-admin/plugins.php ). Check if everything works as expected. There is a list of Plugins that are known to work with WordPress 2.0 here. If some Plugins do not work, accept your fate, nag the plugin author or wait for others to pester the author.
There, that does it.
Something went wrong, you say? No worries. You backed everything up earlier. Restore the files and database tables you backed up, and this time, maybe you should follow the Detailed Upgrade Instructions.

For months, the markets have been buzzing about what looks like a bubble in Treasury bonds and bond exchange traded funds (ETFs).
As market volatility spiked in the first half of the year, investors took shelter in Treasury bonds, the safest type of debt around. Investors also went far out on the Treasury yield curve, because short-term Treasury bonds continue to yield less than 1%.
But that rush to long-term Treasuries hasn't been without consequence. In exchange for that protection, investors are earning very little money. For example, the 10-year Treasury yield only recently moved back above 3%. It's all because bond prices and yields share an inverse relationship: when bond prices rise, yields fall, and vice versa.
Check out this chart of the 10-year Treasury and you'll quickly get a sense of how yields have been pushed lower as a result of investor buying:
There's also a risk in holding long-term Treasuries in a strengthening economy.
The risk lies in rising interest rates. The Federal Reserve lowered them to record levels in December 2009 in hopes of stoking economic growth, but they can't remain low forever. With quantitative easing now in play, better economic numbers and the mid-term elections past, the chances go up that the Fed will boost rates sooner rather than later. [The Allure of Bond ETFs.]
If you're an investor sitting in long-term Treasuries, you need to be prepared to act. When the Fed raises rates, the inverse relationship will switch: prices will fall, yields will rise and your principal will be at risk.
There are two ways to play this scenario by going short on long-term Treasuries: with the ProShares UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury (NYSEArca: TBT) or the Direxion Daily 30-Year Treasury Bear 3x Shares (NYSEArca: TMV). Both have just recently crossed above their 200-day moving average on Tuesday.
Investors seem to have been feeling generally bearish on Treasuries over the last couple of months as fears that the Fed will raise rates grow. In August, for example, TBT was the fifth most popular U.S. ETF, raking in $585 million in new cash. Year-to-date through November, the fund has amassed $2.14 billion in new money while TMV has taken in $214 million in the same time frame to increase its assets nearly 175% from a year ago. [Coping with a Bond Bubble In Retirement.]
Of course, like all leveraged and inverse ETFs, TBT and TMV aren't for everyone. Returns can diverge from the underlying index as a result of compounding, so be prepared to monitor such ETFs closely when you own them.
Visit our Treasury bond ETF category for more articles about Treasuries.
For full disclosure, Tom Lydon's clients own TBT.

Instead of seeing singly with two eyes, there is then double-vision (diplopia).
If no binocular fusion exists, then all possibility of diplopia is excluded.
At the beginning of 1880, I was informed that from time to time periodic squint had occurred with diplopia.
For a long time tendency to convergent squint, which is combined with diplopia, has existed on the left side.
diplopia continued to exist; single vision was only now and then possible for a short time.
diplopia is present in the whole visual field with increase of the deviation towards the right.
Another defect of vision may be next noticed; namely, diplopia, or double vision.
Two of Dalwig's patients developed a functional torticollis to avoid the diplopia caused by a superior strabismus.
Several patients complained of diplopia during the febrile stage, and one asserted that every object appeared fourfold to him.

Is the American Family Association a hate group because they disagree with homosexuality?
Muslims pretty much all agree with Christians in this issue yet no Muslim group would ever be labeled a hate group only because they disagree with homosexuality. It is hard enough to get our government to label them a hate group when they say certain groups shouldn't have the right to exist and they actually kill thousands of people and seek ways to kill more and more.
Views: 674
It is still used to fight racism, and religious intolerance too. Crimes are still swept under the rug (or minimized).
Teach gay kids to punch anyone who calls them "fag" in the mouth.
The ultimate anti-bullying program!
Well, the American Family Association adopts a stance against heterosexual sex outside of marriage, as well. Does that mean they "hate" fornicators? They also disagree with atheism. Does that mean they "hate" people who don't believe in God? Do people who sleep around or atheists get to go around accusing others of preaching intolerance and bigotry just because they don't agree with them? How pathetically stupid!
This is supposed to be a free nation, with freedom of expression, freedom of religion, a free press, and checks and balances on the government. How can you ask young service men to defend OUR freedoms while denying them, there's?
People are entitled to buy what they will from the market place of ideas. They're also entitled to sell their intellectual "wares" in the same place. Today, it's in vogue to try to demand wholesale acceptance of homosexuality---up to and including quote-unquote, homosexual "marriage". They do this by trying to marginalize well-respected Christian organizations and by smearing people who don't agree with them. But stop and think---if TODAY they're doing that with homosexuality, then what is going to stop them TOMORROW from doing the same thing with pederasty/pedophilia, beastiality, or any other perverted or sexually deviant behavior? The answer is, of course, nothing. Some slippery slopes really are, well---slippery.
Comparing sex between consenting adults and pedophilia is absolutely disgusting and not at all acceptable. You clearly do not understand what is going on here. You clearly do not understand logical fallacies. You clearly do understand very much at all.
Vytautas, in the first place, you skipped over EVERYTHING I said (did you even bother to read it?) and zeroed in on one thing you didn't like--the fact that I used the word "pedophelia" and "homosexuality" in the same paragraph. In the second place, no, I am NOT making a comparison between "sex between consenting adults" and pedophelia---while I consider homosexuality an abominable and disgusting crime against nature, victimizing children is worse. However, at the same time, I'm not going to let you get away with trying to dismiss any correlation between the two (as though the two topics shouldn't be discussed in the same post) because that's just not factual.
While a study by J. M. Siegal, et al., ("the Prevalence of Childhood Sexual Assault," American Journal of Epidemiology 126 (December, 1986): 1141-1153) found that under 4 percent of boys are molested by men, the rate of childhood molestation by men among homosexual or bisexual men is nearly ten times that (35 percent) according to L.S. Doll, et all, "Self-Reported Childhood and Adolescent Sexual Abuse Among Adult Homosexual and Bisexual Men,' Child Abuse and Neglect 16, (1992), p. 855-64. In fact, 75 percent of homosexual men report their first homosexual experience prior to the age of sixteen (as compared to only 22% among heterosexual men), according to D.P. McWhirter and A. M. Mattison, The Male Couple: How Relationships Develop (Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prengice-Hall, 1984), pp, 269 and 271. Even researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published a 2008 book documenting the high rates of sexual abuse among homosexual men. While rates of childhood sexual abuse are usually less than 10% among heterosexual men, they are at least THREE TIMES that among men who have sex with men, according to David W. Purcell, Jocelyn D. Patterson and Pilgrim S. Spikes, Jr., "Childhood Sexual Abuse Experienced by Gay and Bisexual Men: Understanding the Disparities and Interventions to Help Eliminate Them," in Richard J. Wolitski, Ron Stall, and Ronald O Valdiserri, eds., Unequal Opportunity, (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2008), pp. 80 and 81.
So no, Vytautas, while I'm not implying that all homosexual men molest children, I am taking note of the fact that the homosexual community is top-heavy in incidence of childhood sexual abuse. Nor has it escaped my attention that efforts are well underway among gay activists to "normalize" homosexual pederasty (sex between older homosexual men and teenage boys). While I DO recognize homosexuality as perverted and deviant sexual behavior (as a glance at the anatomical plumbing should tell you--two men do not produce off-spring, after all), the point of my post was not to compare perversions--it was to say that if we allow the homosexual activists to squelch our views and intimidate us into silence over this issue, then it will never stop with just homosexuality--we'll be giving our our rights to speak out about other forms of perversion as well.
You do need to be cautious not to conflate molesting, with having been molested.
1. At almost 30 years old, a lot of those numbers seem really old to me. Most crime statistics are updated annually, and childhood sexual abuse gets lots of study.
2. If we accept that homosexuality is something children are born with, those numbers suggest that homosexual children are at especial risk for being abused. They need compassion and care. (I don't know what shape that takes, because I don't know how we can legally and effectually intervene in any demographic of children at special risk.)
3. I took a public health class at a public ivy around 2007. The average ages the profs stated for first sexual experience was 15 for American boys and 16 for girls. The trend then, and I've read in the papers since, is those ages are going up. ("average" being mean or median) I'm sure the ages were higher in 1984, but this is where these old statistics aren't helpful.
Of course, if you believe that the correlation between being a child sexual abuse victim and an adult perpetrator is necessary, then I guess we need to fear adult homosexuals because 35% to 75% will become child abusers. That really would be an awful world, in which being a victim of crime as a child means you must be shunned as an adult.
If we accept that homosexuality is something children are born with, those numbers suggest that homosexual children are at especial risk for being abused.
That's the point---I DON'T accept that homosexuality is something children are born with. What I do believe (and believe that reputable studies show) is that various factors often come together to predispose a child to not identifying with his gender and / or to experiencing homoerotic feelings, and one of those pre-disposing factors is that of having been sexually abused as a child. I cannot fathom the cruelty of telling children who were sexually molested that something they were born with (I.E., something they are innately) led to them being targeted by sexual predators.
That does seem like a rather nasty message: for a child to believe he got molested because he's different (!).
And speaking of what I know of how adults mistreat children, whether it's criminal or less severe -- an adult doesn't mistreat a child because of the way the child is. The adult mistreats the child because of the way the adult is. The child is a placeholder for the adult's wants, and is in that role because it's convenient, not because the child's qualities invite abuse.
Still, I think children often think it's their fault.
what is pathetically stupid is an organization with positions long since discredited holding out desperately on these positions for the sake of religious ideology. That is everyone's right -- so fine. What makes American Family Association a hate group is that they have been an activist propaganda device that seeks to spread their misinformation to anyone that might listen. They have become political attempting to shape public policy. It's a sad thing to be honesty mistaken -but to not want to be confused by the facts for the sake of bigotry - is beyond contempt. American Family Association method is to take their conclusions and work backward to assemble the most convicting myths and misinformation for the purpose of passing it off as objective scientific - psychological findings. Then AFA takes this propaganda and uses it to spread fear and hate in order to raise money -- Send in your dollars now to fight the homo agenda. The more they scare people the more money that comes in. It becomes essential that their victims believe that equal rights for all taxpayers means that somehow their family will be will be any different the next day. They have milked this thing for a long time. It's been a lovely distraction from the heterosexual divorce rate - dysfunctional families - parents killing kids - kid killing parents - Church sex and money scandals, adultery - not to mention lack of critical thinking - intolerance - dishonesty - and just lack of personal character. A well respected Christian organization? Is that all it takes? You are in my prayers
I don't know what is sadder--that AFA employs a sinister strategy of phobia, hate, and lies, or that there are so many people who are willingly duped by these hucksters and throw money into their cup as they panhandle around the country.
Your moral clarity is so refreshing. Thank you.

Washington DC (SPX) Jan 09, 2012
New research by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and the Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre (SUERC) will improve the accuracy of estimates of the time of geological events. The work centres on the calibration of one of the world's slowest clocks, known as the 'argon-argon clock'.
The 'argon-argon clock' works by measuring the ratio of the amount of radioactive potassium in a sample of rock to the amount of its decay product, argon. As scientists already know the half-life of this radioactive decay (1.25 billion years), it can be used to date rocks back to the time of the formation of the Earth, 4.5 billion years ago. The older a rock is, the more potassium has decayed and the more argon is found in the rock.
The effect of the new research varies from one rock type to another, but could mean up to a 1.2 per cent difference in a rock's age from the original calculation.
"One per cent change in the accuracy of an age doesn't sound like a lot, but when aiming for 0.1 per cent precision through geological time it is a very significant breakthrough," said Darren Mark at the SUERC, who worked with NPL on the research.
"For example, this will help with establishing eruptive histories and predicting the future behaviour of young volcanoes, such as the inhabited British overseas territory Tristan da Cunha in the South Atlantic Ocean."
The discovery came about as part of an unrelated NPL research project to measure the Boltzmann Constant. The Boltzmann Constant links the magnitude of a degree Celsius to the amount of energy held by the molecules of a substance.
To measure the Boltzmann researchers needed to build the world's most accurate thermometer which works by measuring the speed of molecules in argon gas. But to understand their results they had to measure the isotopic composition of their samples of argon gas. After searching the world for collaborators, NPL enlisted the help of Darren Mark and Fin Stuart of the Natural Environment Research Council's Argon Isotope Facility (AIF). Darren and Fin are the 'parents' of ARGUS - the most accurate mass spectrometer for argon isotope measurements in the world.
During the course of their research, they came across an unexpected result. The measurements they made using ARGUS were so precise that they allowed the team to draw conclusions about the isotope distribution of atmospheric argon. This is used to calibrate noble-gas mass spectrometers and so is responsible for the calibration of all 'argon-argon' dating that takes place throughout the world.
The results show that Alfred Nier, a great American physicist of the 1950s, was slightly in error with his measurements of argon. The data revealed that the correct measurement was achieved in 2006 by researchers in South Korea and North America.
"This work shows the power of precision measurement," said Michael de Podesta, who led the research efforts at NPL.
"Many people think precision measurement is just about adding another decimal place to a number. But it's far more exciting than that. It's more like getting a sharper lens on a camera. It allows us to see the world more clearly and, when we look closely, we are never quite sure what we will find."
