As a (mostly) former WordPress consultant, I've had a lot of people call or e-mail me frantically to say "My site's not working!!" There are a lot of things that can cause your WordPress install to break, but let me share the two most common fixes for WordPress problems.
Resave the Permalinks
You can clear up a lot of problems by simply resaving the permalinks. Go to Settings → Permalinks, scroll to the "Save Changes" button and click it. (You don't have to make any changes, just click to save.)
To put this in the simplest terms, this is like rebooting a computer.
It's most likely to solve the following problems:
- Your admin area is working, but the public part of your site is blank.
- Your front page is visible, but when you try to go to a single post/page/archive it's all blank.
It can solve other issues as well, those are just the two most common ones I've run into. This is obviously not a fix for when you're unable to access the site's admin area.
This can occur after you've made big site changes, after you've moved a site*, or sometimes it just happens.
*If you've just moved a site, had wp-cache running, and are getting a blank page. a particular line in
wp-config.php may be causing the problem. If resaving permalinks doesn't help go into wp-config.php & delete the line that says it was added by wp-cache, something like:
define('WP_CACHE', true); //Added by WP-Cache Manager
Deactivate Plugins
Best case scenario: You can access the admin part of the site (which may or may not be a little wonky) but the site is having problems.
In this case, go to Plugins, select the "Active" tab, select all the plugins, and deactivate.
If the problem has stopped, then you know it was a plugin (if it's still broken, go to "Recently Active" and reactivate in bulk).
- Go to "Recently Active" and reactivate them one-by-one. Start with any that are critical to your site displaying well or moderating spam. Do NOT start with anything social media related, as these are often the culprit.
- Use common sense and save any plugins you've recently updated for last (in fact, if all this happens moments after you upgraded a plugin or plugins, try just deactivating those and reactivate one-by-one to find out which it was).
- Test for the error over and over again until it happens.
- Deactivate the last plugin you activated.
- Continue and keep testing (you want to be sure it's just the one).
- Once you've identified the problem plugin(s), simply delete.
Less-awesome scenario: You can't access the admin area of your site at all.
- Go to your host's file manager (either via your cPanel/control area or via FTP) and find
- Rename the directory
- See if you can access your site's admin area. If not, you can rename the plugins1 directory back to plugins. Your solution is in another castle.
- If you can now access the admin area, then create a directory called
wp-contentand begin adding the plugins again (either via FTP or from the plugin installer).
- Now that you can access the admin area, follow the previous set of instructions for testing plugins one-by-one. You may need need to keep open your FTP/File Manager if the plugin, once reactivated, will cause your admin area to become inaccessible again.
Plugins can cause errors for any number of reasons. If you just upgraded WordPress, your plugin might no longer be compatible (Headspace 2, an awesome plugin, caused post save errors in WordPress 3.0 before the plugin author updated and fixed it). Search for the error and don't activate the plugin again until it upgrades.
If you just upgraded your plugin, the plugin author may have made an error in the most recent version, keep an eye out for an update. Most plugins are backwards-compatible, so you can upgrade the plugin even if you're not yet ready to upgrade WordPress, but it's possible that they wouldn't be.
Note: I am currently not fixing broken or hacked WordPress installations via this site or the comments section. This post is purely for outlining 2 simple fixes. But if you contact me I can put you in touch with someone who can help you out.
This troubleshooting tutorial assumes that you're familiar enough with WordPress and/or your hosting system to perform the steps. Please read through the entire post before attempting a fix. The site and its owner do not accept liability for anything you break while attempting to fix your site. If you're unsure, contact a professional or ask me about putting you in touch with one.

John Galliano To Stand Trial in Paris, Hadn't Finished Fall 2011 Dior Collection
John Galliano To Stand Trial in Paris, Hadn't Finished Fall 2011 Dior Collection
>> Shortly after John Galliano issued an apology statement this morning completely denying the claims made against him, the Paris prosecutors' office has announced that it has decided to put the designer on trial following a police investigation.
The proceedings are expected to take place between April and June, and if convicted — anti-Semitic slurs are illegal in France — Galliano could face up to six months in prison and up to €22,500 ($31,000) in fines.
As for his last Dior collection — for Fall 2011 — which is expected to be shown as planned on Friday, Galliano had not completed it before his suspension last Friday, according to people close to the company; his design team, however, is working to finish the collection in time.

X6 vs 5GT
anyone who had both cars?
i like X6 more than 5GT, but 5GT has more options than X6, however X6 is more beauty than 5GT,,,,hard to choose...
any comman for me?
I like GT more because it can sit 5 if situation calls for. X6 can't do that. GT have great legroom.
x6 & 5GT
Neither cars will do for me. I'm waiting for the new ride.
She is coming > http://models.audiusa.com/a7
I drove both about a week ago. I'm planning to replace my 2001 530 (e39 sport/premium). My current 530 is very quiet. It's the perfect balance between sport and luxury. I wan't something as good or better.
If I just get a new 5 series (F10) sedan it'll seem like I'm getting the same style car I had for 11 years. It was a great car and I can't imagine not getting another BMW but I think I want something a little different.
I like the look of the X6 but it drove too much like an SUV (yes a BMW SUV but still). It rocked back and forth over bumps and driveways. It handles nice but the road and wind noise are more pronounced on the X6.
I also like the look of the 5 GT but not as much as the X6. The GT handles much better in my opinion. The road noise is reduced but I noticed some wind noise (maybe from the very large sun/moon roof (and it was closed). The GT is also about $6k more than a comparable F10 sedan but I've read that it's on a bigger platform so that and maybe the mechanics of the hatch add cost.
I still haven't driven the new 535 non GT. I'll report back soon.
The main driving point for me going GT vs X6 was the fact that the headroom/legroom in the X6 was ridiculously small. I mean with the height of the vehicle I was hitting my head everytime I went to get in and I am not that tall a gentleman 6'1. I dont understand why there is no room in the truck, and the fact that it was a 4 seater kind of sold it up the river.
I will have to admit that looks wise I take the X6 9/10, but that is it. Comparing the money spent to return of vehicle enjoyment (electronics ride etc...) the GT wins hands down.

My nose tip and bridge were both redefined with grafts from my nasal septum 4 years ago. I noticed after a year that both my tip and nasal septum have shifted to the left, but it wasn't apparent until now when most of my swelling and scar tissue has healed. Was this shift caused by extracting the septal grafts, and is it the main reason for my nose tip deviation? Is there a chance it will continue to deviate my tip?
Nasal Septum and Nose Tip Implant Shift
Doctor Answers 9
Nasal Surgery has a 15% re-operation rate
There is nothing more frustrating for a plastic surgeon then to see perfect work twist or turn. This is one of the inherent problems of Rhinoplasty surgery, especially the more complicated treatments requiring cartilage grafts. This happens partly because scar tissue causes contraction and pulling of the surrounding tissue. Scar tissue may not occur in a symmetrical fashion. The pulling can distort the shape of the nose. This can happen in the first 2-3 years, after which your nose has probably reached a steady state. So most likely, "what you see, is what you get?" As for correction, the forces that affected you originally are still there, even in the best surgical hands, some twisting may occur after further surgery. As a doctor that performs many revision rhinoplasties, I find it important to always advise patients that we can make it look perfectly straight, and then it will have a mind of it's own and twist. So find a great doctor and understand that twisting can reoccur.
Robert M. Freund, MD, FACS
Tip Shifting
Grafts may shift over time and the appearance can change as swelling resolves.
Sometimes the changes continue subtly over many years. Because we are creatures with living tissues, those tissues change over time, even surgically shaped tissues.
Consult with your surgeon to compare your before and after photos and to see if some revision is advisable.

Nasal surgery sometimes need to be revised.
With any surgery, there is a risk that you may need a revision. Nasal surgery is very complex and small changes after surgery (in the millimeter range) are very apparent since your nose is right in the middle of your face. Also, when you use grafts, there is always a chance for warping. My suggestion at this point would be to go back to your original surgeon for a complete examination. He or she will be able to give you a better idea of what needs to be done to correct your current problem. Go luck.

Nasal septum and nose tip recovery process
Rhinoplasty is a popular and effective surgery to recontour the shape of your nose. Patients undergoing a rhinoplasty should understand recovery process. Immediately after the surgery, you may experience some swelling throughout your nose. This swelling may fluctuate after your nasal surgery. Although uncommon, it is possible that some of the cartilage grafts that were use in your nasal tip may shift out of place. If this occurs, you may notice some asymmetry once your nose has completed the healing process. If the uneven area is noticeable, you may benefit from a small revision surgery where this cartilage graft may be removed or modified.
Unlikely to deviate any further
The shift in the cartilage grafts from the nose is probably caused from natural contraction phase of healing. Each time a graft is placed in the nose there is a small amount of scar tissue that forms a capsule around it, which can cause some portion of the deviation. There are other reasons for nasal tip deviation that include twisting and asymmetry of the lower lateral cartilages, the upper lateral cartilages, or the nasal bones. At this point since it is approximately a year after the surgery it is unlikely to deviate any further.
The shift was probably due to scar contracture.
After nasal surgery the nose typically stays slightly swollen for one year. Though there are many causes of deviation, the usual cause is scarring which pulls the tip and or bridge to one side.
It is unlikely that the graft removal caused the problem since this usually leads to collapse, not deviation.
I have been doing nasal surgery for more than thirty years and these problems can occur with excellent surgeons. It will not further deviate and can be fixed by the original surgeon or any good revision rhinoplasty surgeon.
Nasal Tip Movement and Nasal Septal Deviation a Year After Rhinoplasty
Hi Para,
Your question is best answered by your surgeon as only he/she knows exactly what went on during your rhinoplasty. Your surgeon also knows the progression over time of the deviation.
The nose continues to change for many years following rhinoplasty. Usually there is some contracture of the skin-soft tissue envelope of the nose. That is why it is essential that the rhinoplasty surgeon leave a strong well structured nasal foundation of cartilage and bone at the completion of the operation.
When the structure of the nose is left weak by excessive removal of support, a nose that initially looks great for the first year or so will seem to "morph" into a pinched "done" looking nose as the skin shrink-wraps down onto the underlying cartilage and bone. Likewise, in thin skinned noses, cartilage grafts that have been improperly shaped, secured in place, or inadequately covered may become apparent.
Each nose is unique, and no two operations should be exactly the same. The deviation of the tip of your nose may or may not continue. Deviated septum's have multiple causes, but not usually from removal of graft material.
If you decide upon a revision rhinoplasty, you should have an "external or open" approach so that the structure can be evaluated directly and any grafts can be precisely sutured in place. Good luck and be well.
Dr. P
Deviation can happen
Deviation of the septum is normal in most people. At the time of surgery to harvest septal grafts, I will correct nasal septal deviations. Sometimes the septal strut will shift over time and even grafts placed can shift a bit. If it is very obivous then I would recommend correcting it.
Nose Shifting After Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is perhaps the most difficult procedure because not only must the nose look good, it must look good over time. It is akin to creating a 'biologic tissue sculpture". There are several reasons why a nose may look good and then subsequently look more crooked:
- Swelling- Nose may have always been crooked and now revealed once swelling dissipated
- Persistent Deviation of Septum- Underlying septum may be deviated
- Post surgery trauma- Nose may have been hit in the early recovery period
- Scar contracture

Obama to Announce 34,000 Troop Afghanistan Drawdown This Year
Source: ABC NEWS
Feb 12, 2013 9:48am
President Obama will announce at Tuesday nights State of the Union address that 34,000 troops more than half of those currently serving in the combat region will be back from Afghanistan a year from tonight, according to a source familiar with the speech.
Roughly 66,000 U.S. troops are serving in Afghanistan. The military has proposed keeping several thousand troops in the country after 2014 as advisers, trainers and logistical support for Afghan forces; the White House has said it remains open to pulling out all troops entirely.
In January, during a meeting with Afghan President Hamid Karzai, Obama said today that most U.S. combat operations in Afghanistan would end this spring, signaling a quickening troop drawdown that will bring the decade-long war to a close at the end of 2014.

3. So after 4 years
We'll finally be back down to where they were when he took over.
And after 5 we'll actually be "done", which means they'll be around 8-15K troops still there, but not qualified as "combat". Which will be roughly half of where we started.
Now there is change I can believe in.

Mike Milken
Former financier, philanthropist, activist, founder of FasterCures, 62 · Los Angeles
The Valley of Death is the place along the therapeutic-drug-development pipeline where many breakthroughs face insurmountable bureaucratic obstacles, lose funding, and die. For the ones that do survive, it can be a 15-year slog from "bench to bedside." The inefficiencies represent a flaw in our medical-research infrastructure that former junk-bond master and prostate-cancer survivor Michael Milken has been obsessed with fixing since he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1993.
FasterCures, a Washington-based "action tank" set up in 2003 under the Milken Institute (Milken's scholarly, nonprofit think tank), has been working on entrepreneurial solutions to accelerate the pipeline. Right now, for instance, there's no independent, detailed resource for willing philanthropists to learn which nonprofit disease-research groups are doing what. Because this information doesn't exist, money that could support a promising cure is often inefficiently allocated. By the end of this year, FasterCures will have an interactive advisory service on its Web site that will provide donors 20 metrics covering everything from data standards to accountability records--the same type of in-depth information an investor would expect when making a for-profit investment.

Electrical Questions? Ask an Electrician Online.
Welcome. My name is XXXXX XXXXX would be glad to assist.
Can you give me the model number of the timer you wish to install?
15313 v2 made by GE
Thanks, XXXXX XXXXX you remember which wires the old timer was connected to?
no not really
Since there are no loose wires, some of them have been joined together. Needing to single out the light wire and power wire.
Is this the only switch for that light?
So, is power on now?
is the light on by chance?
it wasnt working before
that is why I am replacing the timer
is there another switch in the box? or is it only a single switch?
ok, do you have a voltage tester?
Ok, thanks
Now, since there are 3 white wires, that means there are 3 cables in that box. 2 with black and white, one with black,red and white. Can you verify?
that is correct
ok, thanks
since the light was not working before, do you know "if" there is another switch for the light? Is there a switch anywhere that you do not know what it controls by chance?
no this is the small office of the house and their is only one switch for the ceiling light
ok, that ws my next question, where is the light. So there is one overhead light that this timer is to operate?
Please test, one lead to the ground wire and one lead to the 2 blacks that are joined together.
give me that reading
Ok, excellent
Now, is the light only a light or is it a ceiling fan also?
I can probably say since this is a newly built house it probably has wiring for a fan but right now it only is just a light
Ok, you are answering my questions before I ask them, lol. Next was age of the home.
With the red wire, that shows a 3 wire cable which is used for ceiling fans and lights today
So, this is what we need to do. 1. Turn off power 2. Connect the timer--green to the bare ground, black to the 2 blacks together. 3. Blue to the red and black together
ok stand by
reapply powe?
no joy
light did not come on
timer has no power
Verify the Power slide switch inside the button is set to the ON position.
the switch has a switch for power
everything is working now
the power slide turns the timer on and off for operation, yes
can you explain the blue wire and what is it
Excellent, light came on?
The Blue wire is the"load" wire. Meaning it connects to the wire that the light is actually connected to
ok and yes the light came on
The black wire is for power
the red
Red on the timer?
so I am a little confused why did they tie the red and black cable together
in the box
Oh, ok
You have a red and black wire that are in the 3 wire cable to the ceiling box.
That way, if you ever installed a ceiling fan and light, you could separate the 2 and use a double switch in the box to control them separately
Right now, we dont know which the light is connected to, so keep them together.
ok now I am on board.
thanks for everything

Family Law
Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
Dear JACUSTOMER - Whenever there is an allegation of paternity either party can request a test. It depends on who wants what. Many times a man will claim he is the father and demand a test just to learn he is not. On the other hand there are times when a woman will claim a man is the father and demand a test only to find he is not. So there is no basis for either party to sue the other for the costs involved and whoever has demanded the test is usually responsible for the costs. I'm not certain why you couldn't have been tested in FL without the need for all the trips but unless you can show that the mother knew for a fact this was not your child and was simply making false claims for some other reason I see no reasonable chance that you will be able to recover your costs relating to the paternity, especially if you were the one who asked for the test.
You could simply have denied paternity which would have forced her to demand the test which could have been done in FL at no or little cost to you.
If you want to sue that is your prerogative but in my opinion I believe there is only a remote chance at any monetary recovery.
If you want to sue her for slander that is your right. You would have to file your suit in MA and then start making more trips back an forth for hearings. If you lose you cannot recover those costs so you will be throwing more money at this case but it is your choice. I cannot predict outcomes of court cases and you very well may prevail but the fact remains that you could have cut your costs by having the test performed in FL or simply ignoring the entire situation and then filing a suit for slander if she kept up the accusations.
All I can do from this website is offer general information as I see it from the facts provided and I cannot give specific legal advice as what to do or not do in a case. The only way for you to find out for certain if you can win is to file your suit and see what happens.
You can ask all the questions you like and do not have to accept more than once. I have customers who follow up after 6 months or more!
If you are the only one the letter was sent to it is not slander or libel since it would have to have been sent to others. So just the fact that this attorney sent you a letter does not constitute slander. Whether you used her name or not really doesn't matter since the truth is the truth and since you didn't use her name then the lawyer has no case.

Perfect weather in hurricane season: Carnival Fascination Cruise Review by sentrydriver
Overall Member Rating
Perfect weather in hurricane season
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: Jacksonville
We rolled the dice with hurricane season and won. Hurricanes can certainly affect cruises but we are always more concerned about flights. Every flight we had was right on time. We flew in to Jacksonville the day before the flight and stayed at the Jacksonville Plaza and Suites hotel using their stay and sail program. For $77, we were picked up at the airport, brought to the hotel, transferred to the pier the next morning and returned to the airport at the conclusion of the cruise. The hotel was fine, the staff and drivers were very polite and helpful and there were restaurants in walking distance (we ate at Ruby Tuesday's). I recommend this program as More an outstanding value.
Embarkation was fairly smooth. Our shuttle was actually about 20 minutes early and got us to the pier shortly after 10 am. Since we carried on our luggage on the plane, we did the same onto the ship. Although we were on board and at the poolside grill around 11 am, we couldn't get into our cabin until 2:30 pm so we were more or less stuck babysitting our rollaboards during that time. It was our choice, we could have tagged the bags and had them sent up.
On our past three cruises, we have upgraded ourselves to outside or balcony cabins but we decided to economize on this on and took and inside cabin. The bed was made up as a king as we had requested and the signature Carnival linens were excellent. Different from previous cruises, we never really met our steward but the room was maintained spotlessly. I had preordered a fruit and wine basket as a surprise for my wife. At about $40, it was actually a very good value with a serviceable Chilean red wine, cheeses, crackers and more fruit than we could eat in four days. The closet space was ample for two on a short cruise and the bathroom was pretty much cruise ship standard. No complaints about the cabin at all and no regrets with going with the cheap, interior cabin.
I rate the food excellent. My wife and I are not buffet people at all but we did have a few slices of pizza and found it good. We had burgers from the grill while we were waiting for our cabin. I am an Oklahoma burger snob so I can't say much about the burger but the tomatoes and other condiments were fresh and delicious. We took four breakfasts in the dining room and found them delicious. I especially liked the eggs Benedict and also the corned beef hash with poached eggs. My wife sampled waffles, French toast, oatmeal and a variety of fruits. The service was outstanding and we enjoy the open seating in the morning as an opportunity to meet fellow cruisers. Dinners were outstanding. We had the late seating and enjoyed the company of the two other couples at our table as well as the service and attention from our waiter, Reuben from Honduras and his assistant, Andie from India. My wife and I enjoyed many seafood dishes including a basa filet that was the standout meal of the cruise. We also loved the appetizers including crab cakes, alligator fritters, and my favorite, escargot. I prepurchased a wine program; three bottles for $67. We are not wine snobs and found the selection just fine. The free sushi bar is a nice pre-dinner treat. We had one lunch at the buffet after we boarded from Freeport. The buffet theme was French. I hate to waste food but found the offerings inedible. We ended up eating pizza.
Unlike previous cruises, we never settled in to one particular bar or bartender. Tommy, a fine gentleman from Indonesia, made excellent martinis. Buckets of beer were $25 for four bottles. Since this was our second Carnival cruise, we were given free drink coupons. If you get these, READ THE FINE PRINT! They are for use in the dining room only during breakfast or brunch. No problem for us and we enjoyed Bloody Marys and Mimosas with breakfast one day. I met others who were disappointed that the "couldn't redeem" their coupons at a bar or during dinner.
Entertainment was a mixed bag on this cruise. The comedian the first night was not that funny. The one on the second night was very funny but the venue was packed to the point of being uncomfortable. The first production show, Mambo, was poor. Also, the theater on the Fascination is a definite weak point. I think every single seat has an obscured view. The second production show was an excellent tribute to the 80s; probably the best show I have seen at sea.
I think that on these short cruises, most people are content to entertain themselves around the pool but there were a few activities of note. The wine tasting was well done and at $10 for five pours, a decent value. I competed in, but did not win, a bartending contest. My wife and I played a couple of trivia games but these tended to be held in a busy, high traffic area which we found distracting. We found the pool area too crowded for our comfort but the Serenity area was relatively empty and we enjoyed the hot tubs there.
We planned to do an independent walking tour of Nassau which worked well for us. I booked a kayak/snorkel tour with Carnival for Freeport but it was cancelled for low participation. I rebooked a catamaran snorkel trip but it was also cancelled. Very disappointed, we ended up taking a taxi sightseeing tour.
Disembarkation was exceptionally smooth. We chose self-assist and basically walked right off the ship, through customs and into a waiting airport shuttle by 0830.
Overall, this was an excellent product from Carnival and an outstanding value. I would recommend this cruise to anyone short on time but in need of a real vacation. Less

As in human medicine, some veterinarians continue their education and training and becoming specialists in various areas of medicine. The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) has defined a veterinary specialist as one who has 'been certified by an AVMA-recognized specialty organization.'
There are numerous veterinary specialty organizations for the various branches of veterinary medicine including surgery, internal medicine, dermatology, ophthalmology, behavior, poultry medicine, etc. Each specialty organization has its own requirements of various hours of extra training; oral, written, and practical exams; and sometimes research projects. A veterinarian who satisfactorily completes these difficult requirements is called 'board-certified' and can designate him or herself as a 'specialist.'
If you are looking for a board-certified veterinarian in your area, would like more information on a subject, or perhaps are looking for a speaker for a convention or other event, the following list of veterinary boards related to the veterinary care and treatment of dogs and cats may be helpful.

For people who's native language is not English pretty common situation where you download episode with English subs in container and then download translated subtitles in .ass or .srt format usually.
Most desktop video players prioritise external subtitles over internal which seems logical because usually user will manually place external subtitles near video with internal subs for a good reason, in my case: native subs over English.
However XBMC gives priority to internal subtitles, which is a bit frustrating to manually switch to external subs each time.
My suggestion is either change default XBMC's behaviour to give priority to external subtitles over internal, or make this an option, either in UI or advancedconfig.xml.
Prioritise external subtitles over internal

Maybe this has changed but I'm pretty sure the behavior I'm experiencing with the pre-eden builds is that external sub files are prioritized over subs muxed into the video file.

Unfortunately this is true, I've posted a ticket to trac some time ago:
Hopefully someone will notice and fix it. It's really inconvenient.

I noted that xbmc always put the external subtitles as "0" subtitle stream (but not always select it as default), so, here is a workaround for new scanned movies on your library always get external subtitles as default:
Warning: this is a little advanced and I only tested on mysql, backup first!
Open your xbmc_video database, go to the table files and create the following trigger that fires after insert:
Insert into settings values (new.idFile, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, -1, 0, 0, 1, 50, 50, 20, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0);
The trick is create a new default setting with subtitle stream "0" for each new file/movie scanned. I used the default values of xbmc settings, you can set each field/value as you wish.

interesting workaround, how does it work if you don't have external subtitle for the movie/video, does it still respect default and forced flags of embedded subtitles, so if there is no external subtitle found will there be subs displayed if they have default / forced flag?
Also besides adding this for each new file I'd need it also for every file already existing in db.
And how does this work If I set different values as default in xbmc gui, will these settings overrides the ones in DB?
I'd still prefer proper fix from xbmc team, it's really not comfortable clicking through the subtitles streams in gui to get external subtitle displayed... It has always worked before, so far nobody even confirmed whether this is just a bug, which will be fixed sometime or new default behavior and the reason behind it.

Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately this method causes some problems. Given line has some values that darken my display when playing movies. Do not try to use directly these values.
I also tried just setting the 6th and 8th columns that is related with the subtitle, but this way also causes problems which makes XBMC confused.
Since every column has a meaning here, I think the best idea is to use the default values set on your system.
I created a simple .bat file for windows. You can modify below commands to use in your system. Just download and use sqlite, modify below commands then run them once:
"c:\batch\sqlite\sqlite3.exe" "C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\Database\MyVideos58.db" "delete from settings;"
"c:\batch\sqlite\sqlite3.exe" "C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\Database\MyVideos58.db" "insert into settings select new.idfile,...................... from files"
"c:\batch\sqlite\sqlite3.exe" "C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\Database\MyVideos58.db" "drop trigger external_subtitle;"
"c:\batch\sqlite\sqlite3.exe" "C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\Database\MyVideos58.db" "create trigger external_subtitle after insert on files for each row begin insert into settings values new.idfile,...................... ; end;"

Here's a ride you won't want to get off of anytime soon, thanks to this cool Sharpie "paint" job created by radrider.pinkbike.com.
Rad Rider posted this on pinkbike.com. Here, in the words of the artist himself…
After being inspired by a Lamborghini with a Sharpie paint job, I decided to take apart my BLK MRKT Riot and start to work. When I first started I didn't realize what I was getting myself into and wasn't sure what people would think of it. After posting my first picture to Pinkbike and getting a bunch of positive feed back I kept at it and this is the final product.
Although there seem to have been attempts by bike manufacturers to apply art to their products, they never seem to go all out, and when you hear of a unique or custom bike you think of maybe a mono color painted frame with matching colored components. Even before I saw the Sharpie'd Lambo I was thinking about different ways of making my bike truly unique and artistic.
At first I was set on an 80′s theme that I was going to airbrush onto the bike, although this may have seemed like a good idea I have never worked with an air brush gun and also do not own one. So when I got the influenced idea of Sharpie graffiti I started right away. At first I started with a bullet and casing since it seemed to go well with the BLK MRKT theme and from there on I pretty much just "went with the flow" and incorporated some textures and idea's from friends at school and on the Pinkbike forums.
At first I was using a normal Sharpie and it seemed to work great, and then for some reason I switch to what I thought was an old sharpie because of its red logo. It wasn't till 3 days after I started that I realized it was an industrial strength Sharpie and once I realized this and looked at my frame I could see almost all of the area's I used the normal Sharpie wearing off. If it wasn't for this industrial strength Sharpie I doubt this project would have turned out as well as it did. So since all I have been using is a sharpie you can tell this was an extremely cost effective project and surprisingly The Sharpie lasted the entire bike.
Although it may seem something like this might only take a few hours on a piece of paper, and I also thought this when I started. It actually turned out to be very tricky and difficult to get a steady and consistent line on the curved surface. So, what started out as a relatively quick project turned out to take me close to 50 hours in total, but it was definitely worth every hour.

|Como-Pickton ends season in sixth place
|Joseph Elerson | News-Telegram Sports Writer
Nov. 5, 2005 - EDGEWOOD - After an emotional week at Como-Pickton High School following the death of former athlete Josh Biggerstaff, the Eagles ended the regular season on a sour note losing their final three games of the season.
The Edgewood Bulldogs finished the season in fifth place in district with a 46-22 win over Como-Pickton. The Eagles finished the season at 3-7 overall and 1-5 in District 17-2A play in sixth place. Edgewood went 6-4, 2-4.
"Our kids came out and played really hard and that is what we wanted them to do this week was to play hard. Not only did we want to play hard for four quarters, but we wanted to be able to eliminate any mistakes that could possibly cost us the game and we made some costly mistakes," said CPHS coach Joe Ryzman. "Edgewood was able to capitalize on those mistakes and made scores out of those mistakes."
Both teams played a sloppy game as the combined for 11 turnovers, seven of which were by the Eagles, 17 penalties and three ejections.
CP senior quarterback Trent Vail had his toughest outing of the season, going 5-of-17 for 62 yards and five interceptions. He also threw a touchdown pass to Bryan Hicks with 19 seconds remaining in the first half for a 27-14 deficit.
"Trent took a lot of hits and he showed a lot of poise and character, and I am proud of him for that," Ryzman said. "He got back off that ground when he was hurting and did well for us."
Vail finished the season 27-of-66 for 380 yards with seven interceptions and three touchdowns and rushed for 281 yards on 66 totes and three touchdowns.
The Bulldogs jumped out to an early 12-0 lead as junior running back Sam Buker scored his first of two touchdowns on the night from 14 yards. Buker also scored from 70 yards in the second quarter.
In the second quarter, Bulldogs quarterback Jeromey Rose connected with Thomas Calkins on a 15-yard strike for the 12-0 lead.
After a personal foul penalty on the Eagles drove them back to the CPHS 20-yard line, senior tailback Ray Hayden scored his 23rd rushing touchdown of the season going 80 yards around the left side of the line to cut the Bulldogs lead to 12-7. Noe Tellez kick the PAT good.
Ryzman said having Hayden in the backfield this year was a blessing for him as a coach.
"Ray came out in the second half of the game and really ran with a vengeance. He has a lot of natural ability and he showed that throughout the year and we were blessed to have him in the backfield," the coach said.
Hayden wrapped up his senior campaign with 1,605 yards rushing on 186 totes and averaged 9.6 yards per carry in eight games. He also was the fourth-leading receiver with three catches for 62 yards.
Ryzman said with the talent he saw from the Bulldogs during the game, he was surprised they hadn't won more games and compared them to playoff teams Caddo Mills and Lone Oak.
"Edgewood has a tremendous amount of talent and most of their kids were seniors and another half of their team was juniors," Ryzman said. "I was very surprised they haven't won more games with the talent they have and from what I saw they are probably as talented as a Caddo Mills or a Lone Oak."
In the second half, Hicks scored his second touchdown of the game as Edgewood committed a turnover and Hicks scooped up the loose ball and went 71 yards the other way to paydirt for the 40-22 deficit with 7:59 remaining in the fourth quarter.
On the ensuing kickoff, Kaleb Mosley and Thomas Calkins were ejected from the game after Mosley was involved in a fight after having his helmet twisted during the play.
LaKeith Henson rounded out the scoring with a 57-yard scamper with 3:02 remaining in the game for the 46-22 finale. Como-Pickton senior Josh Telfer was ejected after the play.
Hayden ended the game with 80 yards on 18 carries and one touchdown, and Hicks had three receptions for 37 yards and one touchdown. Hicks was the second leading rusher (73-297-2) and receiver (9-82-2) for the Eagles this season.
Edgewood had 144 yards rushing from Buker on 17 carries, while teammate Tyler McDaniel had 108 yards on 15 totes and one touchdown, and Henson had 87 yards on three carries and two touchdowns. Rose finished 3-of-10 for 61 yards with one interception and one touchdown.
In the other District 17-2A finales, Caddo Mills won the district title with a 28-25 thriller at Lone Oak, while the Grand Saline Indians won 53-20 over the Alba-Golden Panthers.
Ryzman said even though the Eagles did not have a winning season, he enjoyed the experience of coaching them this year and saw a lot of good character traits out of his players during the season.
"I was really proud with the way my kids handled all of the adversity and we had our share of adversity and they were able to overcome that and progress throughout the year," Ryzman said. "This team had a whole lot of good character and they played as a team and even though we didn't end up with a winning season I very much enjoyed coaching these kids this year."

Posted in Chicago Fire
The moment is almost upon us. After a long, long wait we are only a day away from the kickoff of the US Open Cup final. For a lot of us, tomorrow morning will be more exciting than Christmas - even a Christmas full of Fire gear. One thing is for certain, tomorrow night will be remarkable either way, either Seattle will continue their recent USOC dominance, or the Fire will tie the all time record for most USOC titles. What can we expect from this match and will Fire fans sleep happy tomorrow night? Let's get into it after the break.
First off, I want to give a shoutout to Jeff Crandall for his excellent blogging of the road to Seattle. I also want to borrow a quote from today's article because I think it's just perfect. Chicago Fire interim manager and Open Cup hero, Frank Klopas was sitting next to Crandall on the flight to Seattle and overheard Klopas tell Fire Captain Logan Pause, "Kid, let's go to Seattle and win the Open Cup." Pause's response? "Let's do it."
I'm sorry, but picturing that scene gives me chills. It reminds me of something you'd see in a movie before the Cinderella team goes out and pulls off the unthinkable. I love it. Let's face it, prior to mid-August the Open Cup was all Fire supporters had to look forward to this year - that and click here the arrival of Kellen Gulley to the first team in 2012.
You all know the history, but let's review:
1998 - In their innaugural season the Fire win the double with the MLS Cup and the US Open Cup
2000 - Fire win their 2nd Open Cup in 3 years
2003 - Fire continue their USOC dominance with their 3rd Open Cup title
2006 - Fire win their 4th USOC title in their 9 year history - only 5 other teams have won at least 4 titles since the Open Cup started in 1913-1914.
2011 - Fire kick off their Open Cup campaign with the epic and unthinkable "Goal in the fog" by rookie Jalil Anibaba - against defending MLS Cup champion Colorado Rapids. They follow this up with a HUGE come from behind victory in PK's over San Jose. The Fire then travel to face Rochester and win a hard fought 1-0 victory away from home. And then the power outage game - we all remember this one. The final step was dispatching of the scrappy Richmond Kickers at home...and now here we are.
If the Fire win tomorrow night it will be their 5th USOC title. Only two other teams have done this in history - none have won more than five. As it stands now, the next closest current MLS teams are at two titles (Seattle of course included).
So, what can we expect and will we see the men in red hoisting another trophy tomorrow night?
Honestly, when I saw Seattle beat FC Dallas I was concerned. I thought Dallas would be a good matchup for us - especially since it would be at home. But, the more I see the Fire lately - I think we are going to be in for one hell of a ride tomorrow night.
Dominc Oduro is a legitimate Golden Boot contender. I have been highly critical of Marco Pappa for most of the season, but no one is happier than I am that he seems to have found his form again - and at the perfect time. The arrival of Pavel Pardo has turned this Fire attack into about as dangerous an attack as there is. Patrick Nyarko looks great up front. Dan Gargan is playing out of his mind at right back. All of this has been said, we know what we can expect from the Fire, we've seen them all season. What can we expect from Seattle?
Any conversation about the Seattle attack has to start with Fredy Montero. The 24 year old is an absolute beast and is another legit Golden Boot candidate. Somehow, the Fire backline needs to find a way to stop him putting the ball in the back of the net. Sean Johnson needs to play the match of his life, and he needs help from his defenders.
Another player you can't not talk about in the Seattle conversation is their keeper - Kasey Keller. He may be 41, but he can keep the ball out of the net with the best of them. He can, however, be beaten. Just ask Eric Hassli. In two matches against Chicago this season Keller has allowed one goal - to Diego Chaves.
One thing that we need to keep an eye on is the injury report. Two key Sounders players will be gametime decisions tomorrow night, James Riley and Mauro Rosales.
Seattle is no doubt one of the best teams in the league, but the Fire played them well both times this year - and both matches occured before the arrivals of Pavel Pardo, Dan Gargan, and Sebastian Grazzini (will he play?). They also occured before the rebirth of Oduro and http://www.hotelsrnamavrovo.com/cnadian-viagra-india Pappa. This is going to be a great match, and I truly believe that the Fire can and will be raising the cup tomorrow night.
Prediction: Sounders FC 2 - 3 Fire (Oduro, Pappa, Pardo)

Having delivered a slew of sleeper hits that broke Bollywood stereotypes and gave the Indian film industry a new direction, Abhay Deol, who hails from an illustrious film family, is being touted as India's young, successful new-age hero.
His much-discussed Hindi film, Road Movie, has been officially invited for a world premiere as a special presentation at The Toronto International Film Festival, 2009. In a rare interview, the young Deol opens up about the film that's been kept guarded all this time:
What was your reaction when you first heard the narration of Road, Movie from Dev Benegal?
I didn't have a narration, I actually read the script and it was really nice, dreamy and humorous. It's Rajasthan (a North-Indian state), so I kinda had a nice feel about it. I knew Dev (Benegal) and was sure that he would get a good team together. Then there was Studio 18 behind it, which was a big plus point as well. It's important for a good script and director to have the right backing. All I had to do is to sign on the dotted line, which I did!
Road, Movie has been produced for Indian Films and Studio 18 by well-known US-based producers, Ross Katz and Susan B. Landau. Did you know about them?
I got to know Susan on the shoot; she was the person behind the wheel driving us. It was cute to watch her work in an Indian milieu. On the way she began to pick up a bit of Indian-ness, which was great. I met Ross briefly in New York at the screening of Slumdog Millionaire.
Tell us the experience of working with Tannishtha Chatterjee and Satish Kaushik in Road, Movie?
Satish Kaushik and Tannishta are seasoned actors with a great body of work. I got to know them during the making of the film and it was a pleasure. Dev is a great director to work with as well. He's very clear in his thought process and very receptive to ideas and opinions. When he has something nice to say that means he's really angry and when he has something nasty to say he's really happy. He was nasty for the most part so that was a good thing!
Tell us a bit about your character in Road Movie?
It's very different from the ones I've played previously. He's very simple, urban and non-verbal. It was a journey through life for him - comic, dramatic, coming of age, growing up and discovering freedom. He doesn't have an idea of what he wants to do, all he know is that he doesn't want to be in this town because he doesn't see a future for himself. He fears he'll end up like his father.
The truck is an integral character in Road, Movie. Tell us a bit about your romance with it?
It was hectic but fun. I had to drive a truck- a 1943 Chevy in which a brand new engine had to be put! It wouldn't go further than 40-50 miles an hour and in a sequence where I had to drive it really fast everyone was afraid that the truck would collapse!
The wind shield was too low, so I had to slouch and drive. The rear view mirrors looked up on the back of the truck so I couldn't see the traffic behind me but over time I got used to it.
What's been your biggest take-away from the Road, Movie experience?
It was my eighth film, I was mature by then... it was a great experience overall. I made some great friends and slogged in the desert heat. I hope it does well because it's not a run-of-the-mill Bollywood film. It is a dry feel-good comedy, poetic and subtle in its humour, beautifully shot and surreal.
What would you say is the USP of Road, Movie?
Its execution. It's a beautifully shot universal story with minimal dialogues. The movie is told through silences through the road journey.
What were your thoughts on finding out about its official selection and world premiere at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival, 2009?
I was excited and delighted because this is the kind of film that merits a huge international platform. Its script was an official selection at L'Atelier du Cannes in 2006. It is being represented internationally by Fortissimo Films. Road, Movie is their first Indian take-up. The film is Indian at heart but international in attitude and personality. It caters to the South-Asian and mainstream audiences alike.

NSF Day at ASU
The National Science Foundation (NSF) and Arizona State University will be holding an "NSF Day" workshop on Thursday, December 5, 2013. This workshop is primarily designed for researchers and educators less experienced in proposing to the NSF; however, more experienced proposers and NSF grantees may well find the workshop useful and informative.
It is our hope that events such as this will stimulate new interest in NSF programs at institutions that have not been among our traditional customers, as well as at premier research institutions. We want to extend an invitation to ASU students who would like to attend this workshop and learn more about the NSF and its programs.
The workshop will provide an overview of the Foundation, its mission, priorities, and budget. It will cover the NSF proposal and merit review process and NSF programs that cut across disciplines. Additionally, representatives from the seven NSF Directorates and the Office of International and Integrative Activities will make presentations on their programs and will also be available informally and in breakout sessions for discussions of potential research proposals.
This workshop is free, but you must register by Monday, November 25!

California Employment Law
Have California Employment Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer.
Hello and thank you for your question today.
Are you online with me?
First, let me say that I am terribly sorry to hear that. It is a shame when a union decides not to properly represent their members. The best option is to contact your union steward to see what the status of your case is. They should be able to give you an update. If you feel that the union is not properly representing you in this matter, you would be able to file a claim with the NLRB (National Labor Relations Board). The NLRB is an independent federal agency vested with the power to make sure that your union rights are properly represented. If you believe that your union is not doing their job, you can file charges alleging unfair labor practices at the nearest NRLB regional office.
The nearest office to you can be found here:
Welcome to the chat
You also have the option of getting an employment attorney involved, but depending on the reason for your suspension, and why you are alleging it is unfair, that may do more harm than good as you may loose certain union rights once you procure an attorney. However, if you decide to hire an attorney a great resource is www.Martindale.com. This is a nationwide directory that is useful in finding highly qualified legal specialists in various fields of law. The lawyers in Martindale are not selected because they paid to be included, but rather because they have been rated by other attorneys as qualified experts in their field. Consider consulting with two or three different attorneys willing to take your case prior to selecting the one you feel most comfortable with.
Are you alleging that the suspension is against the law due to a breach of the collective bargaining agreement? Or are there other reasons you believe that have led to the suspension?
I am being accused of harassment by a female employee on the former shift
This is a government contract, and my clearance is involved
So likely, the union procedure is to grant you a proper right to due process (it is established in the collective bargaining agreement). This gives you the right to tell your side of the story and be heard and share any witnesses that may support what did or did not occur. You can provide any evidence you feel is necessary to clear your name.
Additionally, there is likely an appeals process that is set up through the agreement in the case of termination.
At the moment, you can contact the employer, or the union steward and inquire as to the status of the claim. Are you an hourly employee or an exempt salaried employee?
Because any unpaid suspension can be viewed as a temporary removal, and you would be able to avail yourself of all of the laws that go with that
My problem is they consider, do consider an off-site location. Prob why I have heard nothing. . I was an hourly employee. the steward at my site was nothing but a straw man. My prob is finances too. I am in Limbo here.
I have heard of the Section 203 laws in California. In regards XXXXX XXXXX and status, I just do not no how to go forward
So Section 203 basically states that you will be entitled to a waiting time penalty from the start of your suspension if you are owed any benefits (including earned but unused vacation or PTO time) It is calculated based on the day that you last performed any work, not on the day they decide to terminate you.
I have heard nothing from the Union at all
When did you last contact your employer or the union?
they contacted me today to collect a couple of badges, but they did not tell me of employment status
If you think there is some truth to the allegation, and you may be terminated, then you would want to file for unemployment and claim, quite rightly, that you were terminated without cause. You would not be able to sue for wrongful termination, but you would be able to receive benefits. You would also be able to make an unpaid wage claim against the company for all days any of those benefits were not paid.
If there is no truth to the allegation, then the best approach here may be to try to set up a meeting with your supervisor and explain in a calm and positive manner that you really like your job, really like working there, and that there is no truth to the allegation and wonder when you can come back to work.
If you call your union and they fail to talk to you, then you definitely would want to contact the NLRB
Does that make sense?
Yes kind of. Can I file for unemployment legally now?
Technically yes. An employer cannot put you on a permanent unpaid suspension. However, if you want to prevail, you will want to try to get something stating what the progress is to date.
Unpaid suspensions constitute a separation from work, a condition of unemployment.
So I am in Limbo pretty much yes lol
And have to seek unemployment through a an administrative court through the department of unemployment ca
Not being in the situation directly, I cannot tell you for sure what the status is. All I can tell you are what your legal options are at this point. 1) find out from the union steward or employer what the status of your employment is, 2) File for unemployment, 3) File a claim for wrongful termination based on a breach of some provision of the employment agreement of the union
Well, the NLRB post was good. who do I file claim for wrongful termination with?
You would file a claim here:
I realize that the law is not entirely in your favor here and I am truly sorry to have to deliver bad news. Nonetheless, I trust that you will appreciate an accurate explanation of the law and realize that it would be unprofessional of me and unfair to you to provide you with anything less.
yes, I realize that, your direction is to go to edd in California correct?
If you think that there is truth to the allegation, then you would go to the EDD, and you would make an unpaid wage claim here for any unpaid PTO as well as the waiting time penalties involved.
That can be done here:
If there is no truth to the allegation then I would contact the union and the employer to see what the status of your situation is
ok, thank you for assistance . you have done job. and it doesn't matter. its a female worker. And I have no money to pursue.

I had a first look on this and in my opinion the patch looks reasonable. I moved the usage of heap_modifytuple() to the new heap_modify_tuple() API (see attached new diff) and did other minor cleanups. However, i'm not satisfied with the syntax, which is currently ALTER DATABASE name TABLESPACE foo. We use all over the place SET TABLESPACE (e.g. for tables and indexes) and SET SCHEMA for namespaces even, so this looks inconsistent. However, hacking this requires a little bit more parser-foo, a quick hack shows reduce conflicts due to SetResetClause rule. So what do we want in this case? I did some minor additions in the docs as well. -- Thanks Bernd

Human Tear Buffering Capacity
Carney, Leo G. & Hill, Robert M. (1979) Human Tear Buffering Capacity. Archives of Ophthalmology, 97(5), pp. 951-952.
With the use of a closed chamber microelectrode system, we measured the relative buffering capacities of 490 human tear samples from young healthy adults. The buffering capacities of the 457 waking-hour samples did show small but regular oscillations that were similar to those previously reported for blood and tear pH, but only rarely did the buffering capacity of one sample approach double that of another. The buffering capacities of 33 tear samples, associated with periods of prolonged eye closure (sleep), were not significantly different (P less than 0.5) from those of the open eye.

Emergency Fund Aids CDC's H1N1 Response
The CDC Foundation has activated our Emergency Preparedness & Response Fund to support CDC's response to the novel H1N1 flu pandemic. To date, the Fund has helped CDC purchase Blackberrys for deployed experts and supported flu-tracking studies in New York, Delaware and Ohio.
Foundation Receives $25 Million Gates Foundation Grant for Disease Detection Work in Central Africa
The largest single grant to the CDC Foundation is supporting a CDC collaboration with the World Health Organization aimed at strengthening disease surveillance and response in developing countries in Central Africa.
Hand Washing: A Simple Step to Prevent Hospital Infections
A CDC Foundation partnership with Kimberly-Clark Corporation produced a video and an education campaign for hospital patients and their families that are helping to prevent healthcare-associated infections and save lives.
Improving Health Around the World
With approximately 250 programs in the United States and in 73 countries around the world, partnerships forged by the CDC Foundation are as divers as the expansive role of CDC in the global public health arena. Consider these examples...
Inside CDC's Emergency Operations Center: Q&A with Alan Harrison
Alan Harrison, vice president for administration, serves as the Foundation's chief liaison to CDC's Marcus Emergency Operations Center. Harrison recounts his experience working in the nerve center of CDC's emergency response to the novel H1N1 flu pandemic.

public enum ViewType extends Enum<ViewType>
Different views are sometime synonymous for a given coverage. For example the native and rendered views are identical when the coverage values are unsigned 8 or 16 bits integers, but distinct if the native values are 32 bits integers. This is because in the later case, the 32 bits integer values can not be processed directly by an index color model.
Defined in the
geotk-coverage module
|Enum Constant and Description
Coverage data are the values of some geophysics phenomenon, for example an elevation in metres or a temperature in Celsius degrees.
Coverage data come directly from some source (typically a file) and are unprocessed.
Coverage data are packed, usually as integers convertible to geophysics values.
Coverage data have no meaning other than visual color.
Coverage data are compatible with common Java2D color models.
Special value for returning the same coverage unchanged.
|Modifier and Type
|Method and Description
getRenderingHints(RenderedImage image)
Returns suggested rendering hints for a JAI operation on the given image.
true if interpolations other than nearest neighbor are allowed.
true if the replacement of index color model
is allowed.
true if operations can be performed on the colormap rather than the values.
static ViewType
valueOf(String name)
Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
static ViewType[]
Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.
clone, compareTo, equals, finalize, getDeclaringClass, hashCode, name, ordinal, toString, valueOf
public static final ViewType NATIVE
Interpolations other than nearest neighbor are not allowed. Conversions to the RGB color space are not allowed neither, for the same reasons than the rendered view.
public static final ViewType PACKED
This view is often synonymous to
RENDERED, but may be different for some data types
that are incompatible with index color model (e.g. 32 bits
integer). This view is always exclusive with
public static final ViewType RENDERED
Conversions to the RGB color space are not allowed, because the data are often related to geophysics values in some way. For example the coverage may contains Sea Surface Temperature (SST) data packed as 8 bits integers and convertible to degrees Celsius using the following formula: temperature = pixel_value × 0.15 - 3. A conversion to RGB space would lose this relationship, and any oceanographical calculation accidentally performed on this space would produce wrong results.
Interpolations other than nearest neighbor are not allowed, because some special values are often used as pad values for missing data. An interpolation between a "real" value (for example a value convertible to the above-cited SST) and "pad" value would produce a wrong result.
public static final ViewType GEOPHYSICS
float or
double primitive type), but this is not mandatory
if there is never fractional parts or missing values in a particular coverage.
If the coverage contains some "no data" values, then those missing values
must be represented by
Float.NaN or
constant, or any other value in the NaN range as explained there. Real numbers used as "pad values" like
-9999 are
not allowed.
Interpolations (bilinear,
bicubic, etc.) are allowed.
If there is some missing values around the interpolation point, then the
result is a
NaN value.
Conversions to RGB color space is not allowed. All computations (including interpolations) must be performed in this geophysics space.
public static final ViewType PHOTOGRAPHIC
Conversions to the RGB color space are allowed. Because the coverage has no geophysics meaning other than visual color, there is no significant data lose in the replacement of index color model.
Interpolation are not allowed on indexed values. They must be performed on the RGB or similar color space instead.
public static final ViewType SAME
public static ViewType[] values()
for (ViewType c : ViewType.values()) System.out.println(c);
public static ViewType valueOf(String name)
name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
NullPointerException - if the argument is null
public boolean isInterpolationAllowed()
true if interpolations other than nearest neighbor are allowed. Those interpolations require the following conditions:
NaN values}.
This method may conservatively returns
false if unsure. If interpolations
are wanted but not allowed, then users should try to convert the coverage to the
geophysics space, which supports interpolations. If no
geophysics view is available, then users may convert the image to the RGB space
if replacement of index color model
is allowed. Interpolations in the RGB space produce nice-looking images, but the
pixel values lose all geophysical meaning. If the color space conversion is not
allowed, then then users should stick with nearest
neighbor interpolation.
true if interpolations are allowed.
public boolean isReplaceIndexColorModelAllowed()
true if the replacement of index color model
is allowed. Such replacements may occurs during some operations requirying interpolations,
like scale, in order to produce images that look nicer.
However such replacements should be attempted only in last resort (interpolations in the
geophysics space should be preferred) and only if the coverage
data don't have any meaning other than visual color, as in photographic images.
true if replacement of
IndexColorModel is allowed.
public boolean isTransformOnColormapAllowed()
true if operations can be performed on the colormap rather than the values.
true if operations can be performed on the colormap.
public RenderingHints getRenderingHints(RenderedImage image)
JAI.KEY_INTERPOLATION is sets to "nearest neighbor" if
isInterpolationAllowed() returns
false, and left unchanged otherwise.
JAI.KEY_REPLACE_INDEX_COLOR_MODEL is sets to the value returned by
JAI.KEY_TRANSFORM_ON_COLORMAP is sets to the value returned by
image - The image on which to apply an operation.

Outpatients urged to confirm their appointments
Mater Dei Hospital has urged outpatients to phone its Customer Care Department to confirm their appointments before calling at the hospital.
It said that some patients had been affected by industrial action ordered by the UHM. Paramedics had also been ordered not to answer the phone and patients were therefore not being informed that their appointments had been called off.
The hospital therefore urged outpatients to phone on 25454184 or 25454286 to confirm their appointments.
