The 'Party Up (Up in Here)' hitmaker hates everything about Drizzy, criticizes Rozay for talking about 'eating and girlfriends too much,' and accuses Jigga of blocking his album release.
DMX didn't hold his tongue when being asked to comment on some of the biggest names in the game. In a radio interview recently, the "I Don't Dance" rhymer blatantly blasted fellow rappers Drake, Rick Ross and Jay-Z.
DMX loathed everything about Drizzy. "I don't like anything about Drake. I don't like his f**king voice. I don't like what he talks about. I don't like his face. I don't like the way he walks. Nothing," he said before adding, "I don't like his haircut."
Talking about Rozay, he stated, "I'm just not impressed." He continued, "He's aight, man, [but] he talks about eating and girlfriends too much. How much can a n***a eat? How much weed can you smoke? Let's talk about something else...I see a whole 'nother side of the coin, son."
When it comes to Jigga, DMX blamed the Roc Nation founder for his exit from Def Jam. "When [he] first got the job he gave me with a call like, 'Yo Dog, the inmates is running the building, you good!' I finished the album, shoot the video," he recalled. "Then what happened? [He] went to go on vaction and was like, 'we don't know'."
"How do you listen to a whole album, pick a single, shoot a video and then you don't know?" he angrily added. "I see what's really good. You trying to eliminate the competition. At first you retire, then get me off the label and now you're back rapping again. That was just some bulls**t."
While he didn't have any good word for the Jiggaman, DMX was impressed with the "Glory" rapper's protege. "J. Cole is nice," he said.

Homer City OKs 1-mill tax increase
Homer City Borough Council unanimously approved a one-mill tax increase Tuesday evening as part of its 2013 budget. The tax hike would yield roughly $9,000 in revenue for the borough at an average cost to taxpayers of about $13 per household.
The balanced budget for 2013 totals $451,990 each in expenditures and revenue, representing an increase of $21,325 over the previous year's budget.
The council unanimously reappointed Jim Carruthers to the Central Indiana County Water Authority and Rob Walbeck to the Central Indiana County Joint Sanitary Authority.
Homer City Police Chief Louis Sacco reminded council that the department's grant-funded wave of PA Buckle Up enforcement expired and the department will now begin stepping up its Aggressive Driving enforcement, also funded by a state grant.
Mayor Kenneth "Cal" Cecconi said the town's light-up night festivities will be held 5-8 p.m. today and will include a parade at 6 p.m.
The borough will also be offering free parking along Main Street through Russian Orthodox Christmas, Jan. 7, according to Cecconi.
Borough manager Rob Nymick told council the borough received Act 13 Unconventional Gas Well Impact Fee funding in the amount of $2,847.01, but said he believes the borough is owed an additional $247 and has contacted the governor's office regarding the shortfall.
Nymick also referenced an anonymous list of suggested improvements for the borough which includes the removal of parking meters and purchase of lighted holiday decorations for utility poles. Nymick priced such decorations and determined they would cost roughly $500 each, which is not financially feasible.
The borough is considering implementing a method to encourage homeowners to repair or replace over 1,200 square yards of damaged sidewalk. Nymick said replacing the sidewalks would be cost-prohibitive for the borough.

'Antulay has exploited Muslim fear'
Minority Affairs Minister AR Antulay played on the widespread "persecution complex" among Muslims instead of restoring their shattered confidence in the system, Muslim elites have said, report Zia Haq and Sweta Ramanujan.delhi Updated: Dec 20, 2008 23:40 IST
The political veteran that he is, Minority Affairs Minister AR Antulay played on the widespread "persecution complex" among Muslims instead of restoring their shattered confidence in the system, Muslim elites have said.
"You cannot pass off-hand judgements like these," said former cabinet secretary Zafar Saifullah, who as India's topmost bureaucrat was at the helm of the country's political affairs.
Antulay's remarks have brought into the mainstream a jarring political discourse: that Hemant Karkare — hailed by Muslims as a hero for unravelling "Hindutva terror" — could have been "eliminated".
At a meet of Muslim MPs called to denounce terror in New Delhi on Friday night, Bahujan Samaj Party MP Illyas Azmi ended up endorsing Antulay, saying his doubts were "perfectly valid".
Take, for instance, Muslim activists like Mumbai's Firoze Mithiborwala, who on Saturday told a press conference that 26/11 was the "handiwork CIA-Mossad-Hindu fundamentalists".
Did Antulay mirror the community's concerns as a whole? "No," says sociologist Imtiaz Ahmed, a former professor at Delhi's JNU. "He mirrored the sentiments of a large section of Muslims who see great danger in Hindutva forces; not those who wore black bands to protest the Mumbai attacks."
According to Ahmed, the minister was "operating within the context of Maharashtra politics": he wanted to reinforce his own position and "revive" the issue of Hindutva terror, dampened by the Mumbai attacks.
Antulay had his takers though. "What Antulay said does not in any way diminish our case against Pakistan," former IFS officer and lawmaker Syed Shahabuddin stated in a faxed statement.
However, outlandish theories made without any basis ultimately "reinforce Muslim fears" and strengthen "fringe elements" within the community, according to S. Irfan Habib, a historian with Delhi's National Institute of Science, Technology and Development Studies. "The illiterate, marginalised Muslim may have these doubts. Unfortunately our political leadership does nothing to allay such fears and restore their confidence," he said.
In Pakistan, Antulay's remarks have "reinforced" a general impression in that country that Indian Muslims are hounded by Hindus, said Sherbaaz Khan, a correspondent for the Dawn newspaper. "Antulay is a federal minister and that too for minorities. He surely has some basis to say this," Khan said.
Asked for his take, the president of the Delhi-based Indian Muslims Research & Response Centre, M.J. Khan, sought to sum up the natural ways of India's Muslim leadership: "When the same ATS arrested Muslims, the Muslim leadership thought it was being communal. Now when, Hindutva terror has come to light, Karkare became a Muslim hero — a martyr for a Muslim cause."

WHEN Amir Khan burst on to the world boxing scene as an Olympic silver medallist in Athens eight years ago, his then-trainer Mick Jelley became the reluctant focus of national media attention.
The 68-year-old coach of Bury ABC had stumbled across a prodigy he now describes as his "Red Rum" – after the legendary three-time Grand National winning horse – a talent which comes along perhaps once every 100 years.
But the global excitement which now surrounds the 26-year-old former world champion Khan, and the glamour that goes with it, is like water off a duck's back to Jelley who continues to dedicate all his spare time and – over a 50-year period – thousands of pounds of his own money nurturing the boxing skills of numerous youngsters who have come knocking on his door.
It was 1962 when Jelley took over Bury ABC from his father, Pop Jelley, who founded the gym in the garage attached to his Scholes Street, Elton, house in 1936.
The youngest of six children by 10 years, Jelley boxed briefly as an 18-year-old, like his three older brothers, but he soon turned his attention to helping his father mentor and train young fighters.
Bury ABC has had at least 15 locations, and is currently based at Seedfield Centre.
"I've always said, if I'd been paid an hourly rate for what I've done in this sport, I'd be a millionaire, maybe a double millionaire," said Jelley.
"I've taken days off work, days off unpaid, taking lads to boxing shows.
"But if you're a fisherman, you go and buy your bait and you've got to drive to the place where you want to fish and it costs you money. It's my hobby."
Some hobby. Jelley's reputation as a top coach stretches the length of the country. He frequently gets calls from youngsters in London wanting to relocate to the north and benefit from his advice.
And it's not just the 'Amir factor' which attracts the attention, according to Jelley. Bury ABC's reputation goes much further than that.
"Amir is only one element," said Jelley. "Boxing has been going on in Bury for 76 years and it will be going on for another 76 years.
"Amir has only been around for eight years. My father and I have been producing successful young boxers for years.
"Amir was the Red Rum – end of story. It could be another 100 years before you get another one. It's pot luck. He had all the right attributes and attitude, and so did his parents, which is something that can't be underestimated."
Regardless of Jelley's confidence in his gym's capacity to stand on its own two feet without the Khan factor, the coach has an enduring friendship with Amir and his dad, Shah.
"The one thing I'll say about Amir and his family is that they've always been loyal," said Jelley.
"Some of my other lads and their families have done things behind my back. To be fair, it's not just the lads, it's the parents – they don't listen.
"I say to every lad 'listen to people who can put you on the right track'. But some think they know better than you.
"Amir's dad has invited me to every fight he's ever had. When I had Amir here, Shah used to say 'whatever you say goes'. He never used to butt in because Shah knew I was looking after his lad and Shah will tell any parent 'if you want someone to look after your lads, there's nobody better than this gentleman here, as long as you do what he says'."

Beats Antique at the Boulder Theater, 4/8/11
Photo: Britt Chester
Inspired Flight • the Tailor
04.08.11 | Boulder Theater
Beats Antique sold out of tickets for the Boulder Theater up to the very last minute. Whether everyone showed up for the music or the belly dancing, it's a safe bet that the venue full of gypsies, scenesters, dancers, fairies and anyone else privy to the next-level music came out for a highly anticipated show and got more than their money's worth. Openers Inspired Flight and The Tailor applied the perfect pace to set the tone for an evening of beautiful, organic music.
Inspired Flight
Britt Chester
Inspired Flight, a duo of keys, vocals and electric guitar, played slow beats for the still-filling venue. The subtle, almost tranquil, melodies were felt throughout the room, as everyone began to get in the groove for the night. The theme, obvious for anyone who came to see Zoe Jakes, was dancing, and IF inserted just the right amount of energy into its set to get things moving without having everyone beading sweat and panting for air.
Ashley Marie Mazanec
Britt Chester
A recent addition the group, Ashley Marie Mazanec, came out to sing over a couple tracks.
The Tailor
Britt Chester
The Tailor strutted out following Inspired Flight's set wearing a ragged white tank top, a neck tie that was cut in half and a newsie-style cap. The outfit matched the personality perfectly; it was as if we were all stuck in a parallel universe where electric banjo and a smoky voice somehow fit perfectly in an underground jazz club. With simple two-step looping beats playing on his laptop, the Tailor seduced everyone with soulful hums between lyrics that bounced on and off the track in perfect improvisation. "Belong Tonight," with it's repetitive hook and bobbing beat, was a definite peak in the set.

With his liquid movements and from-the-depth-of-emotion voice, the Tailor sent the place into a trance. A good kind of trance though, one that would make doing dishes a sexy evening task. It's the kind of music that everyone could undoubtedly agree would always be appropriate to play, no matter the time or circumstance, simply because it's soothing sound rings so lovely in your ears. Couple that with the Tailor's live harmonic improvisations and the whole thing made for a truly a great way to steadily innervate everyone's inner gypsy.
David Satori of Beats Antique
Britt Chester
The front pit had filled in entirely at this point with an eclectic, beautiful group of people. All ages, from 'tweens (it was mentioned by one of the artists that their friend brought his twelve-year-old) to seniors, lined the walls and railings of the Boulder Theater. The music welcomes everyone, including the stomach-showing emulators of Zoe Jakes, whose craft and profession are known internationally.
"Sidecar" Tommy Cappel and Zoe Jakes
Britt Chester
Beats Antique came out, but the usual trio had an added member on the baritone saxophone. The last time Beats played in Denver was when the group opened for The Glitch Mob on Halloween , and this performance lacked the skeletal face paint Tommy Cappel and David Satori were sporting for that occasion. Jakes stood between Cappel and Satori, banging on a drum with the beat, occasionally sweeping the stage front where raised hands were twisting along.
Two of the featured dancers for the evening
Britt Chester
The recent collaboration with Blues Traveler's John Popper on a track titled "There Ya Go" was a notable high point. The harmonica, blanketed in picked violin and a steady drum, set a different tone from some of the previous work. In the fall of 2010, Beats released its third album, Blind Threshold, which displays the band's growth from contemporary Middle Eastern music to a merged genre of electronic, jazz, pop and bass.
Zoe Jakes
Britt Chester
The music, in and of itself, is more than enough to sell out the Boulder Theater. The icing -- and the cherry on top, for that matter -- is the dancing. With two other dancers, Jakes seduced every set of eyes with each hip-hit and gyration. In a perfectly choreographed, mixed style routine, the three women undulated in sync, provoking erotic sensations with graceful hand movements and come-hither motions. Belly dancing is beautiful, and not because of the scantily clad women dancing before your eyes, but because the music seems flow through from their fingertips, rhythmically winding its way through the body all the way down the floor.
CRITIC'S NOTEBOOK: Personal Bias: Excited doesn't do justice to describing what I was feeling for this show. Beats absolutely blew me away on Halloween, so a headlining show would be amazing. Belly dancing is a sexy, artistic expression. By The Way: There were 100 tickets left when doors opened that got snapped up pretty quickly.

How the Pros Measure Their Blog's Traffic and Popularity
Traffic and usage statistics are important for a few reasons. They help you learn how popular your blog is, compared to others in your niche. Detailed statistics show you where on your site users are visiting and what they're doing while they visit. It allows you to compare how many users stick around versus how many bounce. Unfortunately, there are hundreds of tools of varying utility available, and it's hard to know what you should be using. What do the pros use and what should you be doing?
Check Sparingly
The first and best tip you can get is to check your usage and traffic statistics only sparingly. Some specific data is best checked each day, but in general, your traffic numbers aren't going to change much from hour to hour and day to day. It's easy to publish a piece of content and start refreshing the traffic statistics to see how it fares. This wastes your time, which could be better spent doing something productive. It also might not even work; many tools don't update every few minutes, so you're left looking at the same information, even if the real information has changed. So take this to heart; you don't need to check your traffic every few hours, it's not that important.
Use Powerful Tools
There are, again, dozens of tools to choose from when you're measuring traffic and usage statistics. Many of them will draw from the same sources, with varying degrees of accuracy. The tools recommended below are just that; recommendations. Feel free to experiment with other tools and find one that provides the information you want in a way you can use. Take caution, however; don't be afraid of a tool because it seems complex and difficult to use. Most of these tools are documented extensively online. If they have a lot of information to present, it may be difficult to interpret. These tools tend to be exceptionally powerful and useful once you know how to use them, however. If you shy away because of their complexity, you'll miss out on their power.
- • Tool: Any platform-specific measuring abilities. Platforms such as Blogger and WordPress have their own built-in traffic measuring abilities. These are great for showing the most basic statistics; traffic per post over time. You'll likely be able to differentiate between pageviews – the number of times each page has been loaded – and unique visitors, or the number of actual people reading your content. You'll also be able to see a referral page, which is the page the user was on before they visited your site. If they clicked a link to view your content, this shows you where that link was posted. The only drawback to these measuring tools is how basic they are; there's no information here that isn't measured by the more robust tools, in addition to other metrics.
- • Tool: Alexa. Alexa.com is a site designed for measuring popularity. This tool is worth mentioning for one reason; it's mostly useless. People talk about Alexa rank as though it has some meaning, but it really doesn't. It's essentially a popularity listing of sites around the world, and if your site is in the top 100,000, it may even record some traffic data. If your blog isn't on that level, however, you won't get much from the tool.
- • Tool: Google Analytics. You knew it had to be here somewhere. Google Analytics is the largest, most valuable tool available for most everyone. Add it to your existing Gmail account – or AdSense, Google Reader, or any other Google property – and you're ready to go. You create a profile for your site and Google generates a snippet of code for you to add to that site. This gives Google access to your traffic to record statistics. Within a day, your traffic will be monitored, cataloged and ready for viewing. Google Analytics is intimidating, in that it has a huge number of measurements and metrics, from traffic and usage to browser and screen resolution. You can even geographically locate most of your users, or at least the location they claim to be from. The drawback is simple; it's a hugely complex piece of analytics power, and it can be difficult to know where to begin using the information it provides.
- • Tool: Sitemeter/Statcounter. These tools are free to use and operate the same way as Google Analytics. You register an account, you put a snippet of tracking code on your site and you pull in usage statistics. It's simple and effective, if you don't need a solution quite as robust as Google's. The one drawback is exactly that simplicity. The sites also don't store historical usage data beyond a certain time, where Google Analytics stores historical data more or less permanently.
- • Tool: Technorati. This site tracks some popularity statistics for your site and gives you a good link profile, so you can identify how you're doing in terms of authority links and ranking.
How to Use your Tools
Putting your tools to use is trickier than just installing them. Particularly with Google Analytics, you're presented with a huge amount of raw data and a wide array of options for generating reports. How do you correlate the data? What's important and what's not?
The first step is to identify some data you never need to care about, beyond as simply interesting facts. You very rarely need to know the operating system of your users. OS, screen resolution and other such metrics will help you with site design, and they can indicate whether a significant portion of your traffic is mobile, but as ongoing measurements it's not all that worthwhile.
Some data is much more important. IP address, for example, lets you identify a geographic range for your users. If you're working on geotargeting your content, this metric helps you know if you're succeeding.
An audience overview can be very helpful. You can learn how many visitors you have, now many pages they see when they visit and how long they spend on your site. A good audience traffic profile can show you how your user engagement is working. Better engagement leads to longer visits and more pages visited.
A link profile is also valuable. You can view all incoming links, so you know what pages are referring users to your content. Some links may be spam; you can contact webmasters to have those links removed, or use the Google Disavow Links tool to have any potential negative link equity removed. This also helps identify how many people find your site through links vs. how many find it through search engines.
Another potentially important bit of data is the landing and exit pages for individual users. With these pages recorded, you can see what pages your users typically find first when they visit your site. You can also see what pages they visit when they leave. This tells you that the exit pages are either filled with the content users like, so that they leave once they found what they wanted, or that those pages are pushing users away. There are a number of ways to interpret the path users take through your site. If they visit a number of pages, are they exploring your site and reading quality content, or are they digging for content they can't find?
When you use a powerful tool such as Google Analytics, you have more options for recording data and more options for presenting that data in an actionable way. The trick is learning how to use the platform in a way that suits your needs.

New York • Here comes 2014! Three! ... Two! ... Mum.
While hundreds of thousands of revelers cheer, shout and yell in the new year in Times Square, hundreds of New Yorkers will gather not far away to pass the waning hours of 2013 without a word.
They'll be quietly observing a 25-year tradition at Jivamukti Yoga, which opens its doors to people who like to spend New Year's Eve reflecting, meditating, crafting resolutions, maybe doing a headstand, all in "Auld Lang" silence.
It's a year-end bash with no pressure to mingle, no need to bring anything, no drunken regrets, and no small talk — or big talk, either.

Beautiful, Private, White Sandy Beaches and The Clear Waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Private Beach front accommodation near dining, fabulous shopping and sightseeing. The property is located directly on the Gulf of Mexico on beautiful Longboat Key, Florida.
Longboat Key is a relaxed island community that is very near all the activities in Sarasota and St. Armands Circle. A vacation here is truly an unforgettable tropical island experience.
My family and I recently had an opportunity to spend a week's vacation on Longboat Key Florida. We originally thought we would stay on Siesta Key because of a recent story, America's Best Beaches List by Dr. Beach, that said it had the second best beach in the US based on water and sand quality.While I'm sure it has lovely sand, we weren't crazy about the accommodations we found and we heard the island was really overcrowded, so we decided to book a stay on Longboat Key where we found Cannons by the Sea Cottages, a group of four one- and two-bedroom bungalows that we fell in love with. We were so close to the Gulf of Mexico we could hear the waves at night. The beach was spectacular, right out our front door, wide and very private, and there was always a gentle breeze. The Gulf could not have been more beautiful, clear and blue, the color of Windex.My husband and I spent our time shelling and relaxing while the kids played in the water, discovered all kinds of sea creatures and built sand castles for hours on end. It was so convenient to be able to walk the short distance to our cottage to escape the sun for a while, catch a nap or read another chapter while lazily swinging in our hammock. Longboat Key has some truly great restaurants and we sampled one or two, but we loved having our own kitchen, and that allowed us to eat whatever and whenever we wanted. And it saved us a lot of money. We've already reserved our cottage for next year and can't wait to go back. Siesta Key may be number two, but to us, Cannons by the Sea Cottages on Longboat Key Florida is number one!Susie Schweppe
There is in this country and quite possibly on this earth no place that comes closer to Paradise than the Cannons Cottages. This place is absolute magic, and after 28 years of regular visits there is still nowhere my family or I would rather be. Amankila, on Bali, is a close second...
I grew up on Longboat Key and moved away for college many years ago. I am a commercial and editorial photographer in Chicago and I have seen many parts of the world. I have yet to love a place more than Longboat Key. Cannon's By The Sea Cottages are unique to Longboat Key and they are one of the few family owned vacation spots that remain today. The atmosphere is tranquil and private. I love the property and the people that make it what it is. Cannon's Marina is right across the street and David and Lucille Miller set me up with everything I needed to walk right out the back door and catch Snook along the beach. Sunny, sandy, tranquil, and a great family-owned hide-away. I loved it.

It turns out GT got rid of some bidding rules, and if your account used those - it just deleted them. I didn't receive an email from GT about these rules changes.
I have a couple areas where one competitor is determined to bid 300-500% of the 2nd place bid - so of course, I price pin him and within a couple weeks, his ad goes offline for the rest of the month, so we're number one with a much less overall cost.
Is there still a way within the GT rules manager to use price pinning - or is it time to switch auto bidders for some of these accounts?

ToLowerCase and ToUpperCase used in the DOM internals use upper/lowercasing algorithms that touch non-ASCII characters (but aren't apparently performing full Unicode upper/lowercasing--hmm). Per HTML5, where Gecko DOM uses ToLowerCase and ToUpperCase, ASCII upper/lowercasing should be used instead (to match what the HTML tokenizer does--both the HTML5 tokenizer and the old tokenizer).
Created attachment 460110 [details]
This hits a couple of the web-visible issues this causes.
In general, uses of ToLowerCase or similar functions in content/ should be replaced by nsContentUtils::ASCIIToLower. It's hard to construct an MXR query for this, but if anyone is interested in picking this up I can point them at the right places.

I'd like to take this. Any legitimate non-ASCII uses I should watch out for?
In content/ and dom/? Not that I can think of off hand.

Probably not, but it's probably best if you just check every place you change against the relevant spec...
Comment 7•
6 years ago
Alright, I'm all set up, and I have a question: In content/base/src/nsWebSocket.cpp there are two instances where ToLowerCase() is called on obviously ASCII strings. However these are nsCStrings, and there's no overload of nsContentUtils::ASCIIToLower() for these types. Adding these overloads is trivial, and I've checked that Firefox compiles with the change. But is it overkill to add something like this? Should I just ignore instances where nsCStrings are used (since Firefox generally uses UTF-16, I believe)? I can't judge right now whether there are a lot of cases of this or just the one.
Comment 8•

ToLowerCase on an nsCString already does ASCII lowercasing, no? So no need to do anything with it.
Comment 9•
6 years ago
Hmm.. Yes, it seems to use the implementation of ToLowerCase implemented in xpcom/string/src/nsReadableUtils.cpp - at least as far as I can tell, and that one does use ASCII lowercasing. I got confused because there are several definitions of ToLowerCase and I had been looking at the wrong one. This may be a stupid question, but is there a better way to tell which implementation will be used than simply breaking the code and seeing what the compiler complains about? All of these files have a lot of includes.

Created attachment 584383 [details] [diff] [review] WIP - Fix uses under content/base/src This is a WIP patch that only covers only the files in content/base/src; I'm attaching it with a feedback request to see if I'm on the right track, since this is my first patch. I'll also attach a text file with my reasoning for each of the changes, since I had to dig into the specs to figure them out.

Reasoning for the changes in the WIP patch
This text file contains my reasoning for the changes in the WIP patch. It wasn't always immediately obvious which specs were involved, but I've tried to be thorough.
Notably, I decided not to change some lines in content/base/src/nsDocument.cpp because the spec appeared to say that a unicode "compatibility caseless match" comparison was required, which definitely doesn't match ASCII case conversion (but I don't know whether the ToUpperCase and ToLowerCase functions match it either).

Comment on attachment 584383 [details] [diff] [review] WIP - Fix uses under content/base/src The sanitizing serializer code is wrong, imo. It should be using ASCIIToLower. Otherwise it might treat attr names with dotted capital I as allowed, no? Please fix this. For the radio code, compatibility caseless matching doesn't mean the same thing as ToLowerCase. That code might need fixing. Followup bug? The rest looks great. Thank you for the very helpful analysis attachment!

Created attachment 597218 [details] [diff] [review] Change to ASCII lowercasing in content/ where appropriate This should do it, at least everything under content/. Kyle, did you want me to look at dom/ as well (comment #5)? How do I try out your test from comment #2? Boris, I didn't end up changing the sanitizing serializer code from the WIP patch, because NS_LossyConvertUTF16toASCII() already drops all the non-ASCII characters and spits out an nsCString, and ToLowerCase() on an nsCString implicitly performs ASCII lowercasing (this is a bit confusing really, since its nsString counterpart does some form of unicode case folding).

Created attachment 597222 [details] Reasoning for the changes in the patch (somewhat obsoleted by comment #27) Here's my reasoning for all the changes, updated for the finished patch. Note that not all the line numbers may be correct anymore as they were based on an earlier revision. Most of the decisions ended up being fairly clear. I decided not to change anything where only a single character was being changed (since ASCIIToLower and ASCIIToUpper have no overload for single characters), where nsCStrings were being changed (since ToLowerCase and ToUpperCase are implicitly ASCII for nsCStrings) - and somewhat bafflingly, in the case of radio buttons, because the spec says so.
Comment 19•

Ah, I missed that there's the lossy convert to ASCII there... That's even more broken, actually. It'll give false positives for "allowed", which is likely a security issue. Followup bug, please?
Comment 20•

Kyle: I ran the test - and it failed. But is it testing what it should? Firstly, it says 'dIv' is a Unicode tag name and those should match nothing, but surely dIv is pure ASCII. Secondly it says 'id' and 'Id' should be distinct, but how would that change by switching to ASCII case conversion? The test seems to be saying there should be *no* case conversion of any kind going on in these situations. Boris: I'll file bugs about the radio code and the sanitizing serializer code.

> but surely dIv is pure ASCII.
Presumably that part of the text should have used a dotted capital I?
Same for some of the other tests in that file....
Comment 22•

Ah, you're right. I was getting confused with Ï which would presumably match ï, but you were talking about İ which has no lowercase equivalent. With İ inserted in three places, the tests pass in my personal build - but I haven't tested it (yet) against vanilla Firefox to see if they fail.

Yes, I wasn't particularly sure about the XSLT/XBL uses. As I noted, the XSLT spec does specify that attributes and elements can contain Unicode characters - but I don't think it specifies the type of case conversion to use. Having said that, I don't really know what the reason is for the case conversion in many of these functions. I haven't really found any documentation that says what each function does - and HG blame shows the code predates the switch to Mercurial. Since ASCII case conversion is 'safe', in the sense that it won't touch characters outside the ASCII range, I suppose the question is whether we care that, say, Greek characters are stored in a case insensitive manner. I figured it didn't make sense to exclude them, so I didn't change the relevant functions to ASCII case conversion (except the one where HTML is concerned, as specified by HTML5 [1][2]). However I should note that the existing ToLowerCase in nsString isn't particularly clearly documented either, so I don't know whether or not it matches Unicode's compatibility caseless (something I want to look into as part of bug 727346).

The XSLT case conversions are all HTML related, so using ASCII conversion is the right thing to do. I.e. we should get rid of TX_ToLowerCase in favor of nsContentUtils::ASCIIToLower and make TX_ToLowerCaseAtom use nsContentUtils::ASCIIToLower

Created attachment 601148 [details] [diff] [review] Part 0: Add nsContentUtils::EqualsLiteralIgnoreASCIICase Jonas, here's the function you asked for (used in part 1). I'm asking for review for two reasons: 1) It causes some code duplication that seems necessary unless we require wrapping the literals in NS_LITERAL_STRING() (which seems inconvenient at best). 2) It uses the template trick from nsTSubstring.h to avoid calculating the length of the literal at runtime. It can be turned off using the NS_DISABLE_LITERAL_TEMPLATE define, and this happens in the following environments: if (defined(_MSC_VER) && (_MSC_VER < 1310)) || (defined(__SUNPRO_CC) && (__SUNPRO_CC < 0x560)) || (defined(__HP_aCC) && (__HP_aCC <= 012100)) Do we still care about these environments?

Created attachment 601151 [details] [diff] [review] Part 1: Change to ASCII case conversion in content/ where appropriate This makes the change Kyle asked for, gets rid of TX_ToLowerCase in favor of nsContentUtils::ASCIIToLower, and refactors nsGenericHTMLElement::SetContentEditable to use the function from part 0. Jonas, could you give the refactoring a glance? It seemed like a waste to use the new function, then do the lowercasing anyway just to pass "true" or "false".
Could you attach an interdiff or otherwise describe the changes you've made since the last patch so that I don't have to re-review the whole thing. In general if you're making changes to a large patch always provide an interdiff when making small changes to it since it's really hard to tell exactly what changed otherwise. Another solution is always to just address review comments in the patch and do any further changes as a separate patch. We can always merge the patches at the end before checking in if we think that's the right thing to do.

Students of Berries studies need not worry about paying for over-priced textbooks anymore – renting textbooks is an option! The field of Berries is constantly changing, and new editions can come yearly and at a huge cost to students who continually buy new books. So why buy when you can rent cheap textbooks? There are plenty of Berries books to rent – BookRenter has of them all!
Used book sales can be a cheap option as well, but often can be more expensive than textbook rentals. However, there are very few return policies with used books, and especially when taking Berries classes, buying a used book can be dangerous and costly.

Tearing Down Strongholds
by Laura Gagnon

When the enemy of your soul entices you to do something you know is wrong, how you choose to respond determines whether or not you will get the victory. Strongholds are built in our minds where the enemy has spun lie after lie so that he is able to keep people in bondage.
No one needs to tell you what your secret sin is. Each person knows if there is something in their life that they have tried to get the victory over. Are you one that still struggles with some area of weakness in your life? Whether it is the gossip that cannot help but disclose the latest news she�s heard, or the person that loves to whisper about others just to get a reaction or stir up trouble; whether it is the addict that finds themselves turning to counterfeit means to alter their mood or escape reality; or the person addicted to sex, pornography or unclean fantasy thoughts; perhaps it is the person that simply cannot get the victory over anger, lying, fault finding, or some other negative behavior, all of these things have the addictive ability to create strongholds in a person's mind. These "strongholds" may seem relatively inconsequential, especially if the person that is captivated by these sort of lying spirits, negative thoughts and behaviors thinks they are not harming anyone else; but that is usually not the reality, even if the person doesn't want to acknowledge the truth. I want you to know that anyone can get the victory over these things - IF THEY CHOOSE TO BE HEALED.
That is always the question each person must face. Do we really want to be healed of the thing that keeps us in bondage? All sin has the element of pleasure or it wouldn�t be able to entice a person to keep doing it. And as much as one chooses to give away their dominion to the enemy, God will let them do it. He has given all authority to His disciples. If a person chooses to give it away, masters besides God will have dominion in certain areas of their life. But know this: the enemy does not want just you. He wants your family. He wants your children�s future, and your grandchildren. He wants your church, those in your workplace and far beyond even them. A stronghold is a place where the enemy has built a fortress. Imagine it like a castle, if you will. You can't see it, but it's there, and the enemy is flying his flag letting the spirit realm know it's his domain. Every area where we refuse to let Jesus reign is a place the enemy will occupy. He plots his takeover and delights in the thought of displacing Jesus in the life of the believer. Every stronghold is constructed out of lies that go unchallenged and behavior that is allowed to go unchecked. Every stronghold that the enemy occupies is a place where the enemy stands to mock God and reproach you. He gloats, he scoffs at your ability to over throw him and remove him off of his high place. Every place where he is allowed to do this continues to grow and expand as he brings in more and more enemy troops to occupy your promise land. He has laid a claim to it as though it�s his own but in fact he is an encroacher that must be evicted. Isn't it time to dismantle his stronghold?
You cannot �think� it down. You cannot mentally determine to conquer a spiritual force with spiritual authority by your own will. Flesh cannot fight spirit and win. It�s also ridiculous to think that one can defeat the enemy without the right weapons. There is only one way to defeat the enemy and that is the way Jesus did it; by speaking out the word of God with authority. Friend, what is your area of temptation? You must find the right scriptures to fight with. Then,�
Declare what GOD has said, and stop listening to a liar, thief and murderer. That's right, Satan will do everything he can to kill off your good future and keep you from inheriting your destiny! Satan is the Father of all lies. He is the seducer, the adulterous spirit that wants to entice you into a way that is hard to come back from. His words are smoother than oil but in the end it will be as bitter as wormwood. If he is enticing you to commit adultery (spiritual or otherwise), or elevate an idol in your life, Tell him, �Satan, your words and suggestions are those of the immoral woman. They are only intended to lead me down a wrong path and it is written, �Do not go near the door of her house.� (Prov. 5:4,8) He is the violent one that attempts to lead you in a way that is not good. He is the perverse spirit that twists truth and attempts to appeal to your reason so that he can bring about evil. When he tries to lead you astray, respond with, �No, enemy, you try to make your suggestions and even if I try to make the wrong plans, it is written, �a man�s heart may plan his steps but it is the Lord that will direct my steps. (Prov. 16:9) You say, "Jesus, direct my steps away from this temptation now,� for it is written, �The highway of the upright is to depart from evil and he who keeps his way preserves his soul.� (Prov. 16:17) �Help me to be one who heeds the word wisely and find good. I am putting my trust in You."
When the enemy accuses you of giving in to the very thing he tempted you to do, run to God and confess your sin. Don�t let condemnation overwhelm you. He is faithful and just to forgive your sins and cleanse you of all unrighteousness when you come to Him! (1 John 1:9) Declare, �God is my strong tower and a shelter to me. I will abide in his tabernacle forever. I will trust in the shadow of His wings.� (Ps. 61:3). �God is my defense, my God of mercy.� His mercies are new every day. His grace is sufficient for me. I will not trample on His blood or take advantage of His grace, but I will overcome this area of weakness in my life, in Jesus name.� God�s grace is big enough to cover your failures and help you back up!
Don�t let the enemy lie to you and tell you that you cannot tear down his stronghold, or that it must take a long, arduous process to do it. Whether it is dismantled brick by brick or God decides to blow it up all at once, recognize it is yet another one of the enemy�s lies. Respond with, �No, Satan. You are evicted this day! Your stronghold will collapse THIS day, for it is written, �Nothing shall be impossible with God.� (Luke 1:37).� Remember Jericho! The walls fell down flat in one day! The truth is, when we feel weak, frustrated at our own inability to change or conquer what seemingly has us in bondage, that is the time when God has led you to confront the enemy�s stronghold so that it can be torn down. The truth is, �A wise man scales the city of the mighty and brings down the trusted stronghold.� (Prov. 21:22). Who is trusting in their stronghold? The enemy! The truth is, �Our righteous God overthrows the house of the wicked,� (Prov. 21:22). Through God we shall do valiantly, for it is He that shall tread down our enemies! (Prov. 108:13). It is written, �Cast out the scoffer and contention will leave. Strife and reproach will cease,� (Prov. 22:10). Declare today, �Scoffer, be gone in Jesus name!� When the enemy lies and smirks and suggests you are too weak to overcome him, boldly declare, "when I am weak, then Jesus is strong, and greater is He that is within me than he that is in the world!" (1 John 4:4) No enemy, you shall go and go NOW, for it is written, �In my name they shall cast out demons, (Prov. 16:18). Whatever I ask, God will do! (John 14:13). As for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord. (Joshua 24:15). �So now, my enemy, you liar, thief and encroacher, I bind all the power of the strongman and your house is pulled down. I reclaim all that God has given to me. Satan, be bound in Jesus name! According to what Jesus has already done to overcome you and strip you of all authority, and in accordance with the dominion and authority that He has transferred to me, His blood bought child: �be rendered powerless, paralyzed, silent and impotent, in Jesus name!� I submit to My God, the Lord Jesus Christ and to the authority of Holy Spirit. I resist you and you must flee, Satan. Take everything you have put on me and go now in Jesus name. I command your stronghold to be dismantled now. I raise the standard of the Lord in every place where Satan was once in control. The banner over me is that of Jehovah Tdiskenu, my righteousness. The banner over me is Jehovah Nissi, my banner of victory and He has gone before me in battle. I win!! The banner over me is Jehovah Ra'ah, the Lord is my shepherd and He leads me in paths of righteousness. The banner over me is Jehovah Elohim, and He is the Lord God. The banner over me is El Elyon, the most high God. Jesus is Lord over my life and you shall not be exalted into a place of rulership. Give up dominion now, in Jesus name! The banner over me is El Olam, the everlasting God that will never leave me or forsake me. The banner over me is Jehovah Rapha, the Lord who heals me, and I declare that by His stripes, I am healed, according to Isaiah 53:5.�
�Lord Jesus, I ask that the glory of the Lord would be my rear guard and protect my blind spots. Let the rear guard of Your army of heavenly hosts blow up every bridge the enemy tries to come across. Come and fill me once again with the power and presence of Your Holy Spirit in every area where the enemy once had power over me. Forgive me for giving over my dominion and letting Satan control certain areas of my life. Thank you for helping me tear down his stronghold, and every time he tries to re-built it with his lies, help me to recognize the lie right away and take authority over it. Help me to cast down all his vain imaginations and suggestions and put them under Your feet. Renew my mind with pure desires and let the power of God flow unhindered in my life. In Jesus name, amen.�

Thanks, well written, and to the point, very useful indeed, I'll use it to enter into a deeper, stronger walk with Him, Jesus. As the enemy is so sneaky these days, entering in to our assemblies in sheep's clothing, proclaiming lies, deceit and leading many to do foolish things that destroy their faith. I've been placed in my church home as a "warrior watchmen" to protect and keep it. THANKS!

Centered octagonal number
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A centered octagonal number is a centered figurate number that represents an octagon with a dot in the center and all other dots surrounding the center dot in successive octagonal layers.[1] The centered octagonal numbers are the same as the odd square numbers.[2] Thus, the nth centered octagonal number is given by the formula
The first few centered octagonal numbers are[2]
Calculating Ramanujan's tau function on a centered octagonal number yields an odd number, whereas for any other number the function yields an even number.[2]

The "Black Techno" Trend…I Guess Everybody Has a Short Memory.
The "Black Techno" Trend…I Guess Everybody Has a Short Memory by John M. Ellison IV
This started as an open letter to Erykah Badu, but really this goes to anyone that think's techno is "white music."
Y'know, one stupid comment has been kind of irking me, ever since I saw a tweet from Erykah Badu, the tweet being, "how y'all gone stand by and let our music turn into pop techno cornball ass music ." Okay, I'd expect a comment like this from someone who isn't a musician or doesn't know music history. What irked me about this comment is that you make it sound like "our" music isn't techno or we didn't have anything to do with anything outside of R&B etc. and we had nothing to do with the innovations with electronic dance music. It's easier for the general public to forget or just be unaware about guys like Afrika Bambaataa, Juan Atkins, Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson. These brothas laid the groundwork for what the public knows as modern techno music. As an artist who are you to make a jab at another genre? A true musician would appreciate or see the positives of it.
"where is the funk AT"? Interesting question, actually, it's been mutating into what we now know as the as she put it "pop techno cornball ass music." Guys such as the "The Belleville Three" Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson and Juan Atkins were inspired by the sounds of Funkadelic, Parliament and Kraftwerk. Bambaataa who cites George Clinton as a major influence, this sound was co-opted by other artists and was marketed to another audience. But, with the electro sound of Bambaataa, electro developed into Miami Bass or Bass Music which Lil' Jon was influenced by and elements that you would find more prevalent in "Techno" and "House." So, technically the funk never went anywhere, it just evolved, just like music does.
What bothers me is to see people forget this fact and when people label music as "black" or "white" music it becomes a deterrent for musical exploration and experimentation. Anyway, it's just a thought.

Jan 8, 2014 - By Katie Roenigk, Staff WriterOfficials said a fire that destroyed much of a rental home Monday in Dubois was caused by the improper removal of hot ashes from a wood stove.
No one was injured in the blaze, which was reported at about 2:30 p.m. Monday from the 600 block of South First Street in the mountain town. The property is owned by the Chinook Winds Motel, but Dubois fire chief Mike Franchini said the incident took place at a single-family, log-framed building being rented out to a single, male occupant.
"He was there at the time of the fire," Franchini said. "He was at home and happened to notice smoke in his living room, so he started walking around the house. When he got to the bedroom he noticed heavy smoke in there, then he went outside and saw the fire."
When emergency responders arrived on scene, Franchini said they found a working structure fire with heavy involvement at the southwest corner of the building. He said the first line of firefighters attacked the blaze from the inside of the house, while others ventilated the building from the roof to let some smoke escape.
"That allowed firefighters to remain in the interior," Franchini said, adding, "We had heavy smoke conditions."
Crews also were hampered by winds blowing at about 40 miles per hour, he said, and the building had undergone several remodels in the past that further complicated firefighting efforts.
Regardless, Franchini said the blaze was under control by 4 p.m., and all units were home by 6:10 p.m. The crew included 12 firefighters, three engines and a rescue truck from Dubois as well as four firefighters and two mutual aid engines from the Fremont County Fire Protection District.
Hot ash safety
Franchini said the fire mostly burned within the home's walls, ceiling and attic space and caused heavy fire, heat and smoke damage to the entire structure, especially the southwest corner.
"In the bedroom where the fire had spread, (there was) heavy, heavy fire damage," Franchini said. "There's probably not much salvageable on that end of the building."
A fire investigator determined the blaze began after the occupant cleaned out his fireplace that day. The man had reportedly thrown the ashes from the fireplace outside, and the wind had blown a hot ember into a pile of leaves under his deck.
"The fire spread under the house and into the interior walls," Franchini said. "This was due to the age of the building. It was a very old, log building, and it had open wall space."
He reminded residents to be careful when disposing of hot ashes near their homes. According to Franchini, people should place the ashes outside in a covered, metal container far away from any combustible material.
Plastic containers can melt, he explained, recalling a similar incident that took place on Christmas Day elsewhere in Dubois.
"Someone who cleaned out their wood stove placed the ashes in a plastic bucket and put it on their deck next to their firewood stack," Franchini said.
The family left the area and returned to find a small blaze on their property.
"They arrived home just in the nick of time --the fire had just started," Franchini said. "If they had been 15 minutes later, they would have lost their house."
He said people should let hot ashes sit outside until they are cold, or even until the next time the fireplace needs cleaning. The ashes should not be spread out on the ground.
"If you are going to spread them out, I'd say rinse them down with water," Franchini said.

The clone script which is an exact website template for airbnb. Now the features are updated with the currently used functionalities of airbnb website. Particularly the home page video sliding view more attractive for the visitors. Affordable cost while compare with other clone scripts of airbnb.
Lot of bugs, bad support, multilingue not working, some basic functionalities are not working at all and the said it can be done under customization, the ask you to pay hundreds of $. Excellent reviews are done by the developer and apptha members. All tey need is your money. Keep away from it.
When I was looking to set up a vacation renting site on a global level, this script proved to be very handy. I dint have many issues and even if I had a few the support team came to my rescue. As this software supports multiple languages and payment gateways by dream of transforming my business to global standards was accomplished.
Usually I dont post reviews on product. But here I am forced to place my reviews as I amcompletely smitten by the design and performance. No doubt, this is one of the best Airbnb clone script. I personally recommend this for accommodation booking business.
Reservation system is what I like in this vacation rental airbnb clone script. A small technical problem stopped me from installing this accommodation booking software but customer support team backed me up and resolved it in hours. I need some more options to be included so I'm waiting for future updates.

Hellblazer, the long-running Vertigo series that follows occult detective John Constantine through his darkest adventures, is coming to an end with February's issue #300, the AP reports. The series finale will be handled by writer Peter Milligan, who has been with the title for several years, and drawn by Giuseppe Camuncoli and Stefano Landini.
But the bigger news, at least when it comes to reaction from the fans of the character and series, is that Robert Venditti and Renato Guedes will be launching Constantine, a new solo series for the character that takes place not in the mature subset of DC Comics, but instead in the "New 52" DC Universe. That means his solo adventures will now take place alongside characters like Superman and Batman, instead of being isolated to his own little corner of the world.

The sounds of cooking
By Judy HevrdejsTribune Newspapers
May 31, 2014
You expect a kitchen to be noisy. The tap-tap-tap of a knife mincing mounds of fresh herbs. The rhythmic beat of a wooden spoon mixing a batter. Bacon sizzling. Beyond such obvious noises, there are many subtle sounds of cooking that can help you become a better, more intuitive cook. Listen to how a perfectly baked loaf of bread sounds hollow when its top is tapped. Or how a simmering chowder or custard sounds different than the glurp-glurp-glurp of one boiling too vigorously en route to a scorch.
Culinary arts contest is a teen pressure cooker

Despite white chef's hats and aprons, 17-year-old Steven Harry and his two teammates from Poplarville, Miss., looked young enough to be in the burger-flipping phase of their culinary careers. But the menu they prepared at Kendall College in Evanston last week was evidence to the contrary: spinach salad with a Dijon mustard vinaigrette, sauteed salmon with orzo, asparagus and tomato relish, and hot cheesecake crepes for dessert. Thirty teams from across the U.S. competed for...

Two years ago, at age 47 and after teaching high school English for six years, JoAnne Bogacz-Boyle had a revelation: She wanted to cook professionally. She knew she loved to cook, and she decided that she wanted to do more than make a daily meal for her husband and four sons, ages 16 to 21. "What I'm really interested in doing is cooking in the kitchen of a small luxury hotel," Bogacz-Boyle said. As a result, the Oak Park resident decided to return to school to study culinary arts at...

Only the vivacious die young, notes one character in Alain Resnais ' " Life of Riley ," while "the tiresome, humdrum ones live forever. " But if that's true, then surely Resnais himself is the exception that proves the rule. Turning for the third time to the work of British playwright Alan Ayckbourn ("Private Fears in Public Places"), whose highly theatrical comedies of manners have made good matches for Resnais' consuming interest in form as a vessel for character...

CPS may get culinary school for dropouts, at-risk kids
By Carlos Sadovi, Tribune staff reporter
November 12, 2007
For many Chicago high school dropouts or those at risk of leaving school, the thought of developing a career in the culinary field can be as foreign as a seven-course dinner at a fancy restaurant. Those thoughts could move a bit closer to home Wednesday, when the Chicago Board of Education is expected to approve plans for the first high school of its kind in the district -- which would target dropouts and 11th graders on the verge of dropping out and provide vocational...
Cookbook historian Jan Longone to speak at Kendall College Saturday

To the casual culinary observer, a cookbook might be tossed off as a mere collection of recipes. Jan Longone is not your casual observer.

Bolingbrook resident Juan Ortiz started working as a teenager in his uncle's restaurants, learning the ropes, but he said his lack of a college degree prevented him from moving up as a professional chef. In 2004, the 39-year-old enrolled in Joliet Junior College's Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management program.

Humic substances are black to brown, highly functionalized carbon-rich macromolecules. They are naturally occurring brown to black plant organic material. They are comprised of humic acid, fulvic acid and humin, which together are commonly referred to as "humin" or "humics". These various forms of humics have been used throughout the world to increase soil microbial populations, soil quality, crop quality and crop yields.
In Agricultural and Turf applications humics have been shown to enhance nutrient availability by maintaining the nutrients in the soil root zone. The high cation exchange capacity of humic products results in an ability to retain soil moisture and make available important plant nutrients to enhance plant growth and yield. Increases in phosphorus and nitrogen uptake have been demonstrated through numerous research trials.
In Environmental applications humic material has been shown to improve structure and water holding capacity, increase microbial growth and aggregate sandy soils. Humic materials are also able to increase potassium availability in problem soils. The addition of humic material to soil leads to an improvement in the productivity of the soil. For the environmental industry it can lead to faster, more efficient, and higher quality land reclamation.
