We occasionally get submissions to the Tutorial section here that quite frankly, aren't really up to standard. I was thinking we could remedy this by making a subforum within the Tutorials forum called, "Tutorial Submissions." Non mod/admin members would be unable to post new threads within the tutorial section but would instead post them in the "Tutorial Submission" section. If these were found to be of sufficient quality, they would then be moved to the Tutorial section proper.
Alongside this I would like to suggest the removal of certain threads in the tutorial section that (at least I feel) aren't up to standard. These include threads that are just not of sufficient quality/content, as well as several from one-and-done posters that never had any intent on joining the community but just wanted to post an ad for their own personal tutorial site. Those in the latter category are fine provided the site linked to is useful, but in many cases (the ones I suggest) they are not.
Here is the list of current tutorial threads I feel should be moved/deleted:

Field Hockey Heads to California to Challenge a Pair of NorPac West Foes
Liberty field hockey makes a cross-country trip this weekend to the Golden State to square off against NorPac West opponents UC Davis and Cal. The Lady Flames will face UC Davis at Cal on Friday night at 10 p.m. (EST), before capping the weekend on Sunday versus the Bears at 5 p.m. (EST). The two contests commence a string of six consecutive road contests for Liberty.
How to Follow the Lady Flames
Live stats will be available for both contests on LibertyFlames.com by clicking on the live stats link on the field hockey schedule/results page. Live stats will be available courtesy of the UC Davis Athletics Communications department on Friday and the Cal Athletics Communications office on Sunday.
Series History versus UC Davis and Cal
This weekend's contests will be the first-ever meetings for the Lady Flames against either opponent. Last season, in its first year in the NorPac, Liberty went 1-1 versus teams from the west division.
Liberty at a Glance
The Lady Flames began the season with a convincing 4-0 defeat of the visiting Saint Joseph's Hawks last Friday afternoon. Liberty scored a pair of goals in each half. Natalie Barr recorded a goal and two assists for the game, while Hannah Jones added a career-high two scores. Ashlee Krulock and Helen Doolittle added a goal and an assist, respectively. Liberty outshot the Hawks, 16-9, and matched Saint Joseph's in penalty corners with four.
Dual Threat
Defender Hannah Jones contributed in a big way against the Hawks. The sophomore recorded two scores, matching her goal total from the entire 2012 season. Jones also played a key role on the defensive side of the field, helping Liberty post the shutout and limiting the Hawks to just nine shots.
Jefferis Makes Strong Return
Goalkeeper Ann Jefferis recorded the fourth shutout of her Liberty career in the win against Saint Joseph's. It was the redshirt senior's first start in goal since the 2011 season, but the Harleysville, Pa. native didn't miss a beat, making four saves. Jefferis' effort earned her the NorPac East Division Defensive Player of the Week award.
Lady Flames Away from Lynchburg
In its last ten road/neutral site contests, Liberty is 8-2. The Lady Flames will play 11 games away from the friendly confines of Liberty Field Hockey Field this season.
UC Davis at a Glance
The Aggies opened the season with a home victory against Missouri State last Friday, 4-0. Redshirt freshman Danielle Koehne tallied two goals on two shots to lead UC Davis, while Jamie Garcia assisted on two Aggies' scores. Rounding out the scoring for UC Davis was Stephie Sabraw and Cloey LemMon. In goal, Danielle Herrington only had to make one save en route to the shutout win. The Aggies outshot the Bears, 14-5, for the contest and forced 10 penalty corners to Missouri State's two.
Cal at a Glance
The Bears hold a 1-1 record after splitting a pair of games during the season's opening weekend of play. Cal opened the year with a 2-1 shootout victory against Michigan State before falling to No. 4 Connecticut, 2-1.
For the season, Andrea Earle and Jordan O'Reilly each have a goal to lead the Bears. Shannon Elmitt has the lone assist for Cal on the season. Goalkeeper Courtney Hendrickson, the reigning NorPac West Defensive Player of the Week, recorded 11 saves combined during the two games and holds a .786 save percentage for the season.
Looking Ahead
The Lady Flames continue their six-game road trip next weekend with games at No. 18 Wake Forest on Sept. 13 and VCU on Sept. 15. The Wake Forest matchup is slated for 4:30 p.m., while the VCU contest is set for 2 p.m.

(This is the second of four posts detailing the mods that I have made to my CharGriller Smoker Pro.)
This mod helps contain heat by reducing the amount of hot air that escapes from a standard CG Smoker.
It places a gasket on all four sides that are exposed when the two halves of the cooking chamber open.
Three sides of the gasket are installed on the upper half of the grill: The left, right and back sides. The grill construction makes it difficult to put the front side on the upper half, so it is installed on the bottom.
The gasket material chosen is 5/8" fiber glass rope gasket material intended for wood stoves. On the front and sides the material is installed in a Z-bar channel. On the rear, it is compressed between the upper and lower halves without extra support.
The Z-bar material is extruded aluminum 1/2"x7/16"x1/2" with a thickness of 0.050". The only known source for this is http://www.tamlyn.com/index_files/AluminumProducts.htm
Overview of Gasket Placement
See the material on the edges of the upper half and in the foreground just behind the front shelf.
The Aluminum Z-Bar Material
Contains the gasket material in the area between itself and the wall of the cook chamber.
Detail of the front gasket
Showing the rivet mounting, the glass rope (before the end was trimmed and gooped to restrain it), the cut out for the shelf bracket. And yes, it has been painted with High Temp paint.
Detail of the side gasket
From the inside of the cooker, showing the riveted mounting and the glass rope material. Not visible, 1/4" dowel laid behind the rope to shim it out for better contact. Also not visible, high temp RTV holding the gasket in the channel.
Side gasket from the front
Also visible is the stack extension of 3" flexible vent tube. The tube is secured at the grill level by inserting a 'connector' segment of aluminum sheet and screwing into that through the cover.
Also visible is the back side of the replacement thermometer. It is installed in a 13/16" hole in a nominal 1-1/2" Knockout plug (electrical aisle). The knockout plug snaps into the existing hole.
Detail of the Gasket Transition from the Side to the Rear
A single piece of gasket material is used, down the left side, across the back and up the right, to minimize opportunities for slippage.
The rear section is attached directly to the back of the upper half (after suitable cleaning) with high temp RTV. It is squeezed between the two halves when the chamber is closed.
Detail of Hinge Washer
Adding a fender washer or other spacer between the hinge parts of the upper and lower halves (on both sides) takes up almost all left-right slop on the lid. (YMMV). This makes the points of contact on closing much more consistent, which results in a better seal against the gasket.
Initially, there were a number of leaks still visible with a smokey fire. With more time in place (and a few judicious strokes with the dead blow hammer) the seal is quite good.

text: NEW YORK ( The Deal) -- Neiman Marcus Group has agreed to be acquired by private equity firm Ares Management and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board from TPG Capital and Warburg Pincus for $6 billion, it was announced on Monday, Sept. 9. The $6 billion price tag equates to the seller ringing up $3.3 billion at the cash register when about $2.7 billion in long-term debt is deducted from the total purchase price. The pension plan and private equity firm buyers will each hold equal stakes in the department store chain, according to the announcement, with management holding a minority stake. The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter. CEO Karen Katz will remain at the helm of Neiman Marcus. In their 2005 $5.1 billion leveraged buyout of the Dallas-based retailer, TPG and Warburg paid about 9 times the $519 million EBITDA Neiman's generated for the 12 months preceding July of that year. Today, they are selling it for about 9.5 times the $630 million in EBITDA it generated for the 12 months ended April 27. With their holding period stretching into eight years, Neiman's private equity owners jumped at the chance to sell their portfolio company, rather than risk the longer lockup periods required in an initial public offering, a source said. (Neiman Marcus filed its S-1 for the IPO with the Securities and Exchange Commission in June.) Yet the auction process was a competitive one, according to another industry source. That source said the IPO was always on the table, given expectations for a robust public offerings market this fall. This was the second major luxury department store deal this year, following Toronto-based Hudson's Bay Co.'s $2.9 billion purchase of Neiman competitor Saks ( SKS), unveiled on July 9. The price Hudson's Bay paid for Saks was nearly 11.2 times its estimated $260 million in forward EBITDA for fiscal 2014, ending Jan. 31, 2014. The purchase price was also about 10.7 times the $271 million in trailing EBITDA it generated in fiscal 2013 ended Feb. 2. That deal gave hope to Neiman Marcus' private equity backers, which sought a multiple closer to the one Saks commanded, sources said. However, Saks' real estate was still considered more of an asset than what was contained in Neiman's real estate portfolio, those sources said.

IT IS the fourth one-day international against Sri Lanka in Adelaide. Australia had been sent in on a pitch that needed some application from our batsmen as it was swinging and nipping around somewhat. Australia is in all sorts of trouble at 5-82 and in comes the ''Big Show''. That is the nickname given to Glenn Maxwell by Matthew Wade.
Aaron Finch says to Australia's coach Mickey Arthur, ''Coach, strap on your seatbelt, here comes the Big Show!''
As the temporary Australian batting coach, I didn't want the ''Big Show'' to blaze away like he does in the nets. I didn't want him to show everyone how many shots he has. I just wanted someone to bat for more than 50 balls and give us a boring 35 somewhere. And after being tied down a little, the ''Big Show'' nicked a wide one, which left us in all sorts of trouble.
I couldn't help but think, ''Where is this kid heading?'' He is getting so many opportunities and is wasting them at the same time. I see so many similarities between Maxwell and Ian Harvey, who I selected as an 18-year-old for Victoria. Both players thought they were batsmen first and foremost, and bowlers second. They both took their bowling seriously, but their first love was to bat and to smash it.
Harvey's nickname was ''The Freak''. And he was at times. Harvey could play a shot that would blow your mind away. He would bowl the occasional jaffa and take the most amazing catch. Harvey could really play, but I think we read him wrong right from the start. He was a bowler first and batsman second, and his stats proved it.
I feel that Maxwell is in the same mould as Harvey and I believe the Australian selectors are thinking that as well.
The psyche of any player is very important. He or she must quickly work out what his strengths and weaknesses are and play accordingly. The player first must work out what his role is in the team. He must accept it or he will find the selectors tapping him on the shoulder. Sure, Harvey had more fun as a batsman, but his bowling is what helped his team the most.
I see Maxwell in the same boat. I think he is now more of a bowler than a batsman. Maxwell might disagree reading this article, because he will tell me his batting stats are better than with the ball. Sure he has a good argument - he has made 924 first-class runs at an average of 42, with a century and seven 50s from 15 matches. His bowling stats are OK, with 27 first-class wickets at an average of 34.
This is where Maxwell must be open-minded about his cricket talents and not be too dogmatic in his attitudes on whether he is a batsman first or not. The main reason I believe Maxwell is a bowler first and foremost was what I heard when he released the ball. When Maxwell bowls his off-spin, I can hear the ball fizzing through the air. Shane Warne and Muthiah Muralidaran have the same sound when they deliver the ball. So did Stuart MacGill.
You can't teach that stuff. He can really rip it and that is where his future will be until he shows more application and common sense with the bat.
Maxwell is a ''high-risk'' player and wants to be a batsman first. He hates defending and blocking balls. He hates taking singles. His game is all about blazing cover drives and pull shots. He continues to put his front foot in the same place time and time again and throw his hands at the ball.
He does have a good eye and is a nice player to have in your team when you are winning, but not when things are going tough and the team is losing. With his current technique, Maxwell will always offer inconsistent performances with the bat.
His current numbers are already testing the patience of the captain, coach and selectors. Maxwell has the flair and aggression with the bat, but he needs to harness it, toughen up and become more circumspect and cautious.
Maxwell made the quickest domestic 50 - off just 19 balls - from a quality Tasmanian attack. Understandably, he believes he should play like that all the time. He has the same attitude when it comes to bowling. He wants to bowl the most brilliant delivery in the world to knock someone over, instead of creating pressure, forcing the batsman to play a loose shot.
Let us be honest here, nine times out of 10, batsmen get themselves out, not the bowler getting them out. Maxwell needs to realise this and bowl accordingly.
Maxwell is an interesting choice as a touring member to India. If Australia plays three spinners, I believe he can do some damage, if he concentrates and doesn't get bored. He could fit into the No. 7 batting position and we could have a match-winning member of the team. Maxwell can play the spinners quite well with the bat and can pick most ''doosras'' better than most batsmen in the team.
As a selector, you go by gut feeling. And the selectors are doing that by selecting Maxwell. They believe in him. That should be taken as a great positive by him. All Glenn has to do is play within himself and back his defensive game more.
As Jack Nicklaus once said to me, ''All athletes must have an X-factor in some part of their game to reach the highest level in his chosen sport. But his defensive skills will ultimately make him or break him as an athlete!'' I wish him well.

As All-Star break nears, trade market heating up
Price, Peavy, Lee, De La Rosa, Hamels among pitchers who could be moved
The starting-pitching market for the 2014 non-waiver Trade Deadline took a huge hit in the last week, taking away quite a bit of the drama that was on tap between next week's All-Star break and the July 31 Deadline.
Oh well. The A's did what they had thought they had to do, dealing away their five-tool shortstop prospect, Addison Russell, and another first-rounder, outfielder Billy McKinney, among others, to land Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel from the Cubs. Then the Yankees got Brandon McCarthy from the D-backs for Vidal Nuno.
This flurry of activity doesn't mean the dealing is over, however. While what was shaping up to be a lean crop of available starters got significantly more sparse, there are still several big names likely out there for the swapping.
Here's a rundown of the Top 5:
David Price, LHP, Rays: The cost in prospects for Samardzija and Hammel was hefty, which means the cost for this guy, who's got a 3.48 ERA and 159 strikeouts in 139 2/3 innings, will likely be comparatively astronomical. But Price remains the biggest pitching target on the market and still the most likely to be moved, despite the Rays' improved play of late. Price is 28 years old, left-handed, a former Cy Young Award winner, and the Rays will likely get more return for him at this stage of the season from a contending team shoving its chips all-in than they might over the winter.
Jake Peavy, RHP, Red Sox: The gutty veteran went to Boston from the White Sox a day before last year's Deadline in a three-club deal and was a contributor to the Red Sox on the road to their inspired World Series win. His current 1-7 record and 4.64 ERA don't exactly scream "attractive" to potential buyers, but the cost in return doesn't figure to be too high, and if the Red Sox take on a good portion of the remainder of the $14.5 million that Peavy is making this year, a team could take a flyer on a guy who's proven to be at his best when the footlights get hot.
Cliff Lee, LHP, Phillies: Lee is a veteran with a Cy Young Award and a World Series appearance -- not to mention several trades -- on his impressive resume. He makes a huge amount of money ($25 million per year through 2015, a $27.5 million vesting option with a $12.5 million buyout for '16), which makes this situation a tricky one. He also has been on the disabled list since May 19 because of a flexor tendon strain. The latest on Lee's health is that he just pitched a rain-shortened rehab outing and went two innings, so he could be a week or two from being deemed rotation-ready. It remains to be seen if he'll be doing it for the Phillies.
Jorge De La Rosa, LHP, Rockies: The Rockies are not contending in the National League West and the talk is picking up that there might be a slim chance that they'd part with superstar shortstop Troy Tulowitzki -- for a huge package of prospects and players. If that's the case, they almost certainly would be willing to entertain a chat or three about De La Rosa, who is 9-6 with a 4.75 ERA this season but went 16-6 with a 3.49 ERA last year and is slated to be a free agent at season's end.
Long shot
Cole Hamels, LHP, Phillies: Hamels threw another excellent game on Monday night, breaking a five-start winless streak by beating the Brewers. He's signed through 2018 with an average salary of $22.5 million leading to a $20 million option for 2019, so if Philadelphia general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. does decide to deal him, the team getting him will be responsible for one big-time contract. Then again, Hamels is only 30 and is on pace to finish with his lowest season ERA since '11.
Other possibilities: Jon Lester, LHP, Red Sox; Kyle Kendrick, RHP, Phillies; A.J. Burnett, RHP, Phillies; and Justin Masterson, RHP, Indians.

World Of Tanks- 300 Gold For Free! (oh yeah we got hacked change your password plz)
Wargaming are giving away 300 Gold to everyone who changes their password.
Because they got hacked. Details are sketchy as what was compromised, but the forum had been experiencing issues last week.
"World of Tanks publisher, Wargaming.net has revealed a recent breach in security 'may have compromised' user data and as a result is encouraging all users to change their password.
The company was a little vague about exactly what information had been affected and how it had been affected but in a statement it assured users that financial information definitely hadn't been compromised.
"As a part of usual security practices, we recently became aware that some personal information may have been compromised due to a security incident. We immediately launched an investigation into the incident and can assure you that no financial information was accessed. However, we believe that some password hashes and email addresses were affected by the compromise."
Although we're sure most of you won't need anymore motivation than this to change your password, Wargaming.net is also offering 300 in-game Gold as an extra incentive. This is enough for users to gain a day of premium subscription, which itself allows for faster tank purchasing and researching."

Chris Brown
tested positive for marijuana use and faces a hearing to determine
whether he violated his probation for the 2009 assault on
then-girlfriend, singer Rihanna.
The R&B singer was in court Monday for the first time in a year.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg was weighing the
impact of his positive drug test and sorting through his community
service and travel records to determine whether he has been complying
with his five-year probation, according to The Associated Press.
Before he appeared in court, Rihanna sent him a tweet: "I'm praying for you and wishing u the best today!"
Brown responded with, "Thank u so much."
Because Brown provided the judge with a medicinal marijuana
prescription from California, Schnegg said the positive test result
during a random drug screening in his hometown, Richmond, Va., where he
had been ordered to complete his community service, may not have a major
impact on his probation, AP reported.
But, she warned Brown to be mindful of his public image and his impact on young fans.
"You are not an average person who can sit in their living room and
do what you want to do," Schnegg said, noting that Brown's mother was
sitting in the courtroom. "You are not only in the public eye, but you
are on probation. … which means that if you violate any laws or orders,
then you're subject to a probation violation."
Schnegg ordered a probation violation hearing for Nov. 1, when it
will also be determined if Brown violated the travel provisions of his
probation with a trip to Paris.
The judge added that the community service logs from Virginia were "somewhat cryptic" and needed more review.
The Richmond police chief sent a spreadsheet to the judge, indicating
Brown had completed 1,402 hours of community service by picking up
trash, washing cars, painting and tending stables.
The judge ordered Brown to see his probation officer within the next three days and urged him to be careful.
"You should be mindful of obeying all rules of the courts," Schnegg said.
In June, the singer was at the center of a bottle-throwing brawl that
erupted at a New York City nightclub between his entourage and a group
accompanying singer Drake. Neither entertainer was charged in the
"A lot of people look up to you — a lot of kids. What you do and what you say impacts other people," Schnegg said.
Asked for comment on Monday's hearing, Brown's rep referred
ABCNews.com to the singer's attorney, Mark Geragos, who did not
immediately respond to a request for comment.

US factory output posted its sharpest increase in nearly a year in November as auto production staged a rebound, while consumer prices slipped, offering cautious optimism for the struggling economic recovery.
Factories have bounced back after being held down by Superstorm Sandy, which struck the East Coast in late October.
Despite last month's rise, factory production remained below highs reached earlier this year. Analysts said this subdued recovery and tame price pressures provide ample scope for the Federal Reserve to stay on its ultra-easy monetary policy path.
"This is an economy that still has a lot of slack and upside potential," said Robert Dye, chief economist at Comerica in Dallas. "There is a lot of dry tinder out there, the Fed has added to that with monetary policy and we have to get past the fiscal cliff issues to see if the dry tinder catches fire."
The "fiscal cliff" refers to the $US600 billion in deep government spending cuts and tax hikes that will hit the economy next year if the Obama administration and Congress fail to agree on a less drastic plan to reduce budget deficits.
Manufacturing output rose 1.1 per cent in November, the biggest gain since December 2011 and a rebound from a 1.0 per cent drop in the prior month, the Federal Reserve said. It said production was lifted by a surge in motor vehicle output.
Hurricane Sandy had weighed on overall industrial output in October, but the rebound in November was stronger than economists had expected. Output at the nation's factories, mines and utilities taken together also jumped 1.1 per cent after slumping 0.7 per cent in October. It was the biggest gain in almost two years.
Separately, financial information firm Markit said its preliminary gauge of US factory activity in December rose to 54.2, its highest level since April, from 52.8 in November.
"Going forward, output will largely be determined by what type of resolution is reached on the fiscal cliff," said Brett Ryan, a US economist at Deutsche Bank Securities in New York. "If policymakers do not come up with a solution, the recovery in industrial production may prove to be fleeting."
In a third report, the US Labor Department said its consumer price index dropped 0.3 per cent in November, the first decline in six months, as gasoline prices fell sharply.
The so-called core CPI, which excludes food and energy prices, edged up 0.1 per cent after rising 0.2 per cent in October. Although food prices rose 0.2 per cent in a lagged response to the summer drought, price pressures remained tame.
"The inflationary backdrop remains very benign, providing the Fed with considerable breathing room to keep monetary policy accommodative," said Millan Mulraine, a senior economist at TD Securities in New York.

Our Php pages on a new server that we have moved on are producing NO Erroe messages!Worse still even if I add a, for debugging:echo 'Hello World 0<p>';it does not even print that out.That is the page loads with completely nothing in it. But a digit 1 on the upper left corner!How do we tell the Php on this news server to output error messages?
Thank you.
Check out php_info()
// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
Create a file, upload it and run it - if PHP is active, it will display current config
Have you followed the instructions in Common-PHP-Problems?
Yes, I did that.So what are we looking for?What should we be changing to display Error messages to the browser as they occur?
I also added the code:
ini_set('display_errors',1); error_reporting(E_ALL);
just to see. But the Php page still comes back totally Blank!
Really amazing how strange stuff can pop up on a new server!
Just to let you know I did a test but just removing a ; from a line of a Php page and the whole pageis displayed blank without any Error messages. So the problem is for sure with the Php.ini of the new server that results in it displaying no Php Errormessages but displays a blank page.
Even if you add this code:
ini_set('display_errors',1); error_reporting(E_ALL)
it still prints no Php Error messages! Which is death when it comes to Php programming
So do you all know which Php.ini setting we need to change to enable Php error messages to be displayed?
Can you copy and paste your script inside and supply a link to the offending page.
It is any page that has any error in it, shows up totally blank.That is as I said I took a Php page that is working fine, and just removed a ; from one of the lines, and thenit shows up as Blank too.
So you have any ideas as to what we need to do to enable Php Error reporting on our new sever?
Again, a Php page with any error, will display as a totally Blank page rather than reporting the Error in that page.And I mean any Error, as simple as leaving off a ; or whatever results in a totally Blank page being returned by the server.
BTW, I did enable this in Php.ini
display_errors = stdout
and also added all these commands to a given Php page:
To no result
Thank you all.I am at wits end here
Did you remember to restart the server after making the changes to phi.ini ?
I have had this error with CodeIgniter and had to use echo LINE; die; to trace the flow and chase the errors.
Check the php_error log file, it should have lots of entries
What version of PHP are you using (what is reported by each "level" of error reporting varies a bit between versions of php
Yes, I did re-start Apache after the change to the Php.ini file.
And it is PHP Version 5.3.3
But again it is NOT reporting any Error at all.Even the simplest Errors are causing a Blank page to be returned!!!So there is something strange (wrong) somewhere that is causing on this NEW server all of a sudden Php pages to come back Blank when any error occurs!
So what to do?
Try inserting this on the page that you are calling:
echo "Hello World"; die;
If that works then I think you have a syntax error on the page and you will have to step through until you find the syntax error.
Best to do it by moving the die; halfway down the page:
if does not work work then move the die; halfway up
if does work work then move the die; halfway down again
repeat until you find the syntax error
Try swapping around the order of them two lines
SpacePhoenix, I swapped the 2 lines, that is now have at the top of the Page:
And still nothing. That is again page comes back totally blank!Amazing You would thing something this basic and essential that is error reporting on a Php page would not take4 days to enable
As it stands what are the current values for the following when you view the output of phpinfo()
[QUOTE]error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT | E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE | E_NOTICE | E_CORE_ERROR | E_CORE_WARNING | E_COMPILE_ERROR | E_COMPILE_WARNING | E_USER_ERROR | E_USER_WARNING | E_USER_NOTICE | E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR);/QUOTE]
That's what I personally use for setting the error reporting
Just wanted to let you know that I finally resolved this.The problem was due toerror_reportingappearing TWICE in Php.ini file.So the 2nd instance value was over riding the 1st instance which I had updated!
[QUOTE=SpacePhoenix;5317276]As it stands what are the current values for the following when you view the output of phpinfo()* display_errors* error_reporting
error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT | E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE | E_NOTICE | E_CORE_ERROR | E_CORE_WARNING | E_COMPILE_ERROR | E_COMPILE_WARNING | E_USER_ERROR | E_USER_WARNING | E_USER_NOTICE | E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR);/QUOTE]

Evidenzia Polices Copyright Violations With Tokutek Database EngineTokuDB v5.2 Reins in Escalating Storage Costs and Extends Scalability and Performance to Workloads With Concurrent Inserts, Selects, and Deletes (February 27, 2012)
SANTA CLARA, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/27/12 -- Strata 2012 Conference -- Tokutek, the leading innovator in high-performance and agile database storage engines, today announced that Evidenzia GmbH & Co. KG, a leader in online copyright surveillance, has upgraded to TokuDB® v5.2 in order to reduce select and insert times and rein in escalating disk I/O due to growing data volumes.
A finalist in the Strata 2012 Startup Showcase, Tokutek will be demonstrating its TokuDB storage engine for MySQL on Wednesday, Feb. 29, at the conference.
Evidenzia's powerful technology helps copyright owners protect their intellectual property by enabling them to trace and document illegal file sharing activities in P2P networks reliably. All data and documentation may then be used as evidence in court. Because Evidenzia ingests a large amount of logging information each hour, the data not only needs to be processed in parallel for instant reporting, but also has to be stored in case it is ever needed as evidence in a legal case. To meet these needs, Evidenzia logs IP addresses while also performing a connect to each peer. In the process, the software fetches data to match it to the copyrighted material for proof of copyright violation.
With TokuDB v5.2, Evidenzia can do all the inserts and selects in parallel and also delete deprecated data out of the same table without the need to use MySQL's "optimize table" function, which would block inserts and selects. In addition, TokuDB's superior compression proved invaluable to keeping the required disk space low.
"We had already enjoyed tremendous gains in select performance, disk space, and I/O efficiency with TokuDB v5.0," noted Bastian Axter, Director of Operations at Evidenzia. "Once we moved TokuDB v5.2 into production, we saw these advantages extend to a wider set of use cases, notably workloads with concurrent inserts, selects, and deletes. This enabled us to make TokuDB v5.2 our storage engine of choice across our entire MySQL deployment. Overall, by choosing TokuDB, we not only saved 70% in our storage requirements, but also dramatically cut the time to complete select statements, which went from executing in over an hour to just minutes."
About TokuDB 5.2
TokuDB v5.2 is a highly scalable, zero maintenance downtime, MySQL Storage Engine offering on-the-fly schema modification and powerful indexing-based query acceleration. Offering performance enhancements over previous releases, especially for multi-client scale up and point queries, TokuDB v5.2 extends the cases where ALTER TABLE is non-blocking to include Hot Column Rename. The newest release maintains all of TokuDB's established advantages, including: fast trickle load, fast bulk load, fast range queries through clustering indexes, hot schema changes, great compression, no index fragmentation, and full MySQL compatibility for ease of installation. See our benchmark page for details.

The students of Eternal Grand Master Lee include over 53,000 black belts and over 3,000 certified instructors in more than over 1,000 schools and clubs in the U.S. alone and more than 1,500 internationally.
Eternal Grand Master H.U. Lee passed away on October 5, 2000 after a hard fought battle with cancer. He left his legacy to the hundreds of thousands of Songahm students across the world.
Bio & Philosophy: Eternal Grand Master H.U. Lee was born in Manchuria, China on July 20, 1936, with his family relocating back to Korea soon after World War II. Beginning his martial arts training in 1953, he received his first degree black belt in 1954. He graduated from high school and entered the Korean Army as a Taekwondo trainer for special troops in 1956 retiring from the army three years later to open a Taekwondo school at Osan Air Force Base.
While teaching at his school on the military base, Eternal Grand Master Lee met and trained American serviceman Richard Reed. When it came time for Reed to return to the states, he invited Eternal Grand Master Lee to join him. Eternal Grand Master came to the United States in 1962, established himself as a Taekwondo instructor in Omaha, Nebraska where he and (now) Senior Master Reed became partners in a martial arts school, and became a U.S. citizen in 1973.
In 1969, he founded the American Taekwondo Association (ATA). Taekwondo schools began opening all over the country. During his years in Omaha, Eternal Grand Master Lee wrote the first instructor manual, which was introduced in 1973. This manual provided information and procedures that standardized the inner workings of each ATA school.
With the growing number of schools in the ATA, Eternal Grand Master Lee recognized that to help support all the new school owners and to enhance their ability to succeed, business support was going to be very important. In 1978, he introduced the first ATA School Operations Manual and started to provide more professional and complete business support. This support has continued to grow and expand through the years.
Through the early years of the ATA, the Chang Hun style of forms (used by the International Taekwondo Federation) was used as part of the curriculum. Even though this style was widely accepted in the Taekwondo community, Eternal Grand Master Lee knew that these forms were strongly influenced by the Japanese style of martial arts and did not truly reflect Taekwondo or the strength and beauty of its kicking techniques. After much research and input from association seniors, Eternal Grand Master Lee introduced the Songahm style of Taekwondo to the world. It was a very early Saturday morning, August 13, 1983 atop Songahm Mountain in Arkansas that Grand Master Lee taught the first group of 300 masters and instructors Songahm #1 (white belt), Songahm #2 (orange belt), and Songahm #3 (yellow belt). He continued to develop and improve the complete curriculum of Songahm Taekwondo throughout his life.
In 1990, then Master H.U. Lee, tested before his Songahm family for the distinguished rank of 9th Degree Black Belt. A petition was signed by over 100,000 members of the ATA for Master Lee to be honored with the title of Grand Master. The year of 1990 was significant because it marked the completion of the development of the 17 Songahm Taekwondo forms that would take a student from White Belt through testing for 9th Degree Black Belt. It had taken Grand Master Lee 20 years to complete this part of his vision for traditional Taekwondo. Let it be understood by all that he was not "given" this title, he earned it. Eternal Grand Master H.U. Lee is now heralded by the world to be the first and only Master in history to acquire the rank and honor of 9th degree Grand Master under public documentation.
Under the direction and dedication of Eternal Grand Master H.U. Lee, the ATA supported (and continues to support) numerous charitable organizations, especially the Muscular Dystrophy Association. For three consecutive years - 1987, 1988, and 1989 - the ATA received the Muscular Dystrophy Association Award and has donated over $1.5 million to help fight the illness. ATA fund-raisers are also held for the D.A.R.E. Program, Arkansas Children's Hospital, and Arkansas Special Olympics. Grand Master Lee is also involved in the Sister City Program between Little Rock and Hanam City, Korea. Currently, Grand Master Lee and the ATA are working with the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in their fight against breast cancer.
In 1988, Grand Master received the High Profile Award from Arkansas Business. Through the years he also received other honors including Key of the City Awards from Omaha, Nebraska; Corpus Christi, Texas; Little Rock, Arkansas; Evansville, Indiana; Tallahassee, Florida; and Panama City, Florida. Because of his support of the city of Little Rock with his many civic activities and the impact that the Songahm Taekwondo World Championships has on this city, the Little Rock Convention and Visitor's Bureau presented Eternal Grand Master with the Kaleidoscope Award in 1994 and the Crystal Award in 1996.
Eternal Grand Master Lee was presented with the most prestigious Highest Profile Award of any Korean outside of Korea by the President of the Republic of Korea (1996); and was the recipient of the Korean Broadcasting System's Cultural Promotion Award (1997) which is valued at approximately $100,000. In November of 1997, Grand Master Lee was named to the Arkansas Athletic Commission. In 1999, after being a nominee for several years, the ATA and Grand Master Lee were awarded the prestigious Arkansas Business of the Year Award by the state of Arkansas.
In 1999, Eternal Grand Master Lee acted on his motto, "Today not possible, Tomorrow possible," when he escorted a group of instructors to the communist state of North Korea. He is recognized by state officials as being one to help bring peace between the two Koreas. The President of Korea, Dae Jung Kim awarded Grand Master Lee with the highest Humanitarian Award possible, and the President of the United States, Bill Clinton, sanctioned close advisor, Mayor Jim Dailey, to messenger a personal letter to the family of ATA at Grand Master Lee's funeral.
Grand Master H.U. Lee's personal motto, "Today not Possible, Tomorrow Possible," made him successful in many ways. The international media recognized his prestigious feats as a human being and his humanitarian efforts. The Korean media has produced many shows and full-length documentaries, including the award winning "Success Story," by KBS on the life and achievements of Grand Master Lee. In the United States, he made appearances on many news programs and talk shows including "Live With Regis and Kathy Lee!," The Jerry Lee Lewis Show, and ABC's "Good Morning America." His son, L. Taekwon Lee produced and finished a full hour documentary film on Grand Master Lee's life and the story of the ATA titled "Today Not Possible, Tomorrow Possible," which has not been released to the public. He is now in the works of producing a full-length feature film on his legendary father.
After 64 years of humanitarian efforts and achievements, Grand Master Lee passed away on October 5, 2000 after a valiant battle against cancer. Over 3,000 students and members of his international family gathered in his beloved hometown of Little Rock, Arkansas to wish him farewell at his beautiful funeral ceremony. Eternal Grand Master Lee is survived by his wife Mrs. Sun Cha Lee and four children, David, Flora, Lisa, and L. Taekwon. Many Grand Masters of martial arts including Grand Master Joon Rhee and Grand Master Bong Soo Han, gathered to pay respect to Eternal Grand Master H.U. Lee They formally sanctioned a petition to elevate the Songahm Grand Master to 10th degree black belt, Eternal Grand Master, the highest position attainable outside the philosophy of Songahm Taekwondo

text: red_codec 153 Report post Posted April 16, 2013 Just a simple question about the legal business structure of game studios. For most game developers, they have some kind of name for themselves. Such as 'interplay', 'black isle', 'square soft' etc. Obviously for the big studios they are a company / corporation. What about small indie developers? Do they simply trade mark their studio name and have no registration with the government? Or do they at the least register a business under sole proprietorship / partnership? I'm curious, thanks for feedback! :) 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FOOTBALL clubs and emergency services have united to send a strong message to fans who resort to violence during the World Cup.
Blackburn Rovers and Burnley FC have pledged to stand together against domestic abuse, after it was revealed reported incidents rose by around 25 per cent during England games at the 2010 World Cup.
Offenders are being warned to 'leave the striking to the players' as part of the campaign designed to address traditional spikes in crime during major football tournaments.
The Ugly Consequences of the Beautiful Game campaign has been developed by Lancashire Police and Crime Commissioner, Clive Grunshaw, Lancashire Constabulary and the county's fire service on behalf of the Safer Lancashire communications network.
Mr Grunshaw said: "Residents across the county will be coming together to watch the World Cup this summer, and it should be a time for fun and celebration. But unfortunately, experience tells us the tournament is also likely to be a time for excessive drinking — which can have devastating consequences."
Over the next six weeks, billboards will be appearing in Blackburn warning domestic abuse offenders, while bus shelter adverts will urge victims, friends and family to 'blow the whistle on domestic abuse'.

"I got these to go with my "earthy leaves" invitation suite. There were only 4 color options listed, so I figured they only came in those colors, so I had just picked black. But when my digital proof came back, they had given me two other options that went with my 'rich red' color scheme. I was not expecting to be offered other color options, and loved the liberty and assumption the designer took in offering me different colors that went with my invites instead of black. Needless to say, I was impressed and very happy with this product and the service and the attention to detail that the designer took."
"One of my shower gifts, was Thank You notes for the bride. I purchased the address labels and Love stamps . I put these on the envelope, so all she had to do was write the thank you. This was a big hit at the shower. The address labels were beautiful, the only thing I did wrong was I choose my own font, and the numbers came out small. I suggest you go with the paper divas recommend, The Love stamps were beautiful. The paper and print were excellent. I would and have recommended Wedding Paper Divas to all my friends!!!!"
"I used these labels for greeting cards I printed and put together myself, and the label just literally tied it all together and had a great impact on a simple, plain envelope"
"I liked this one quite a bit but it is very delicate looking. Even more so in person with very faint details. I thought the flowers would be a bit more distinguished instead of the outline of petals but it is still VERY PRETTY. Very subtle, pretty and appropriate for spring/summer! Happy to have these as alternate labels!"
"Decided to add an artistic touch to our wedding invitations by having labels printed up. Not only did they come out beautifully but I was able to have it reviewed and retouched by the designers at wedding paper divas one last time before making my final decision. They arrived 3 days ahead of schedule."

SAINT LEO, Fla. - The Saint Leo softball team is riding high on a three-game win streak as they travel to Miami Shores, Fla. for a Sunshine State Conference series against Barry University Buccaneers. Game one is set for Friday at 6:00 p.m. and the following doubleheader is scheduled for Saturday at 1:00 p.m. All three contests will be broadcast live on the Saint Leo Lions AudioCast Network.
The Lions head into action with a 4-2 SSC mark and are currently tied with Tampa for the third spot. Nova Southeastern sits at 5-1 and Rollins is second with a record of 2-1. Barry is 3-3 and is one spot back of SLU and Tampa.
Leading the offensive charge is a pair of .300 hitters in Tiffinee Harvey and Elysha Agen. Harvey is batting .366 with 16 doubles, six home runs and 25 RBI. Agen comes in hitting at .364 clip collecting a team-high 43 hits, including 13 doubles. Brittany Yates and her team-leading 10 home runs and 31 RBI is third on the squad in hitting at .290, while Sarah Boyd is throwing her name into the hat as one of the Lions top hitters, belting six home runs and driving in 24 runs.
During the three-game winning streak, Dianne Gonzalez has led the team with a .429 batting average. She recently connected on her first triple on the season and is bringing life to the bottom half of the Lions order. Ana Castillo is also coming through in the clutch for the Green & Gold, posting a .375 batting average over her last three games.
Ashton Whidden continues to throw with confidence this season and enters the crucial SSC series with an 11-7 record and sporting a 2.74 ERA. She had picked-up 59 strikeouts and thrown 12 complete games in 118.1 innings pitched. Jaime Walker has become a solid No. 2 starter behind Whidden and holds a 5-5 record in 66.1 innings thrown. She has allowed just nine walks and struck out 24 batters. The pair went a combined 3-0 over the final three games of the week, and allowed one earned run in 21.0 innings.
As a team, the Lions are batting .264. The squad is also being outscored 155-145, with 50 of those runs coming in the first and fifth innings. Saint Leo has done the majority of its offensive damage in the first and fourth innings, where they have scored 56 runs. A trio of Lions continue to race towards the record book as Agen, Harvey, and Yates all have opportunities at breaking single season and career records. Harvey and Agen are chasing down the single-season doubles mark of 21, while Yates has the all-time home run mark in her sights. Currently, Harvey stands six off the pace of breaking the record and Agen is nine short. Yates is still 10 home runs shy of the all-time mark of 33 set in 2009.
The Lions are seeking a bit of revenge over the Buccaneers, as they are 1-8 against their rivals from the south over their last nine contests. However, the Lions last game with the Buccaneers was one of the most memorable contests in Saint Leo softball history. Down 5-0 in the bottom of the seventh inning, the Lions strung together five hits and six runs to complete the miraculous comeback. Ashley Urbanik capped the game with a game-winning three-run blast. The win snapped an eight-game losing streak to the Bucs.
Barry enters the series 21-13 overall and has sole possession of the fifth spot in the SSC. However, the impressive start has been slowed as of late having dropped seven of their last 11 games.
Still, the team is doing its job offensively as they are hitting a combined .318. Grace Collins leads the way with a .378 average and is one of eight .300+ hitters. Jessica Tabor is the Bucs power hitter totaling five home runs and eight doubles, while driving in 25 runs. Kayla Monroy is hitting at a .362 clip through 18 games and Cassy Zamora is hitting .339 for the year. Brianna Smith, Amanda Goelz, and Sarah Broeseker are also compiling impressive offensive campaigns.
In the circle, the Bucs are led by Brianna Smith and her 1.56 ERA. She has compiled a 7-3 record and 95 strikeouts. She has surrendered 16 earned runs over 72.0 innings pitched. Paula Macklin is also pulling her end of the load having tossed in 101.1 innings. She has amassed 102 strikeouts, but has allowed 48 totals runs over that time span. Jessica Bevlin has also seen time in the circle, throwing in 56.1 innings and totaling a 2.98 ERA. Teams are batting .221 against Bucs' pitching in 2010.

Surat Bisaya was devised in September 2012 by Zurocha from the Philippines. It is based primarily on Baybayin as in the Bisaya Hervas font, but also has major influences from Badlit, Hanunuo and Akopito's Suwat Bisaya. It is named Surat Bisaya because it was developed first and foremost for the Bisaya (Cebuano) language (the Kana dialect to be specific), but also supports Tagalog, Japanese, Okinawan and most Philippine languages that follow the same phonetic structure as Bisaya, Waray and Tagalog.
Ya tanan na tawo kai pantai sa atong katogeran wo karoghongan. Kita tanan kai nai kaugalingong aton wo konsiynsya wo dapat ga tinabangai.
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with
reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
(Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights)
Surat Bisaya is included in this Font Pack

Basic Food Vocabulary
Let Top Chefs Expand Your Foodie Vocabulary
Foodies! How well do you know your cooking vocab? If words like swarthy, slauce, and quadrillage sound like something out of a Harry Potter book, you may need to study up. Thankfully, we spoke with some of our favorite top chefs, from Richard Blais to José Andrés, for a refresher course — and a few new words to add to our list. We're not going to lie: some are hard to pronounce, so you can practice watching the video. Just whatever you do, don't say the word moist . . .


text: superman3275 2061 Report post Posted December 26, 2012 (edited) So, I have been at my fathers house for the past few days. He recently got this computer (Which is what I've been posting / programming / Messing around on). I am thinking about getting one for myself, so I have a question: Do you believe this is a good computer? It's cheap, runs great, Windows 8 has a great boot-up and is extremely smooth. Despite it's (somewhat) low processing speed, it's working great and I believe it will be great for programming on the go. What do you think? What laptop would you recommend? I have so many questions posted in this thread, I feel kind of bad. Here's a smile ! Edited December 26, 2012 by superman3275 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Farewell! MindBites to Shut Down in December
by Jason in General / 09.15.16
Dear MindBites Community,
It has been a long and fun journey since we started working on MindBites over 10 years ago, but regrettably, the time has come to shut both the site and company down. As of December 14, 2016, the MindBites Website and Service will cease its operations. Here's what you need to know:
- Access to all video purchases will cease on December 14, 2016 therefore you should view and/or download (if applicable) any purchased content prior to that date.
- Active lesson credits must be used by November 14th, 2016.
- Requests for a refund for unused credits purchased since November 14th, 2015 may be made by emailing email@example.com. Requests must be received by November 21st, 2016. Please include your specific account information such as email address or user id, as well as the specific number of credits being requested to be refunded.
- Any active published lessons will remain for sale (unless you choose to deactivate them) on the MindBites website and any active custom stores for the next 60 days until November 14th, 2016.
- Final payout requests for eligible earnings must be made by November 21st, 2016 or will be subject to forfeiture. To request an eligible earnings payout, please follow the normal process of going to your Author Dashboard on MindBites.com and clicking the "Request Payment" button.
- If you have any issues or questions please email the support team at firstname.lastname@example.com including your specific account information such as email address or user id, the balance you are trying to request and the specific issue you are having.
- For alternative video commerce options, there are a ton of products out there these days to help you out. They have widely variable price points and pretty disparate feature sets, but we think the following options may be worth checking out:
With a Shopify Store
With a Big Commerce Store
For integration into a Wordpress site:
- Woo Commerce with the Host Stream Sell Plugin
As a standalone solution:
We wanted to take a final moment and just thank everyone for all of the support over these last ten years. We started with a big vision and a fantastic group of people working together. We are leaving with some incredible learnings and countless fun memories. Thank you. We really appreciate it.

HOUSTON - A young, male Pit bull is all tail wags and kisses now, after being rescued from a public storage facility on Hempstead Highway in Northwest Houston.
According to Houston Police, someone called them after hearing the dog cry from inside one of the locked units. Officers opened it up and discovered the dog.
"The conditions were deplorable and the animal was kept in filth," said Jarrad Mears, Animal Control Supervisor for the city of Houston. "Definitely not a way to keep an animal - that's for sure."
Mears told KPRC Local 2 they believe the dog had been locked inside the storage unit for several months.
"Obviously if it's been here for months someone's been feeding and watering it," Mears said.
But the dog wasn't being taken care of well and now BARC has taken custody of the animal.
Houston Police officers and animal control workers went back to the storage facility to check the temperature inside; they're gathering evidence to eventually build a criminal case against the dog's owner. They said it was well over 100 degrees.
"It was far too hot for an animal to be inside," said Mears. "Nothing could survive it. I don't know how the animal made it. It's under investigation right now, no charges have been filed but they are being pursued."

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Forget about Apple Maps. We're done with
apologies that Tim Cook and Apple ( AAPL) have now made for the major slip committed by a company synonymous with perfection. Tim Cook and Apple can now move on to offering my mom a major mea culpa. Among the more remarkable milestones in the cultural phenomenon that now has entire families seated at the dinner table staring down at individual Retina displays rather than individual portions of steak and peas was the day a message arrived from my mother this year bearing this signature: "Sent from my iPhone." New York Jews like me always worry about mothers intruding in their lives from the cradle to the grave, but meddling in the world of a younger person's technology? Mind you, my mother has had the same Toshiba laptop for near a decade, still uses her AOL account (LOL) as her primary email address, and still wakes up each morning to listen to terrestrial radio on a faux-wood grain-finished countertop receiver bought at Radio Shack ( RSH) when the word "Tandy" still had relevance in the world of technology. The baby boomers, living longer than any previous generation and with more disposable cash to burn -- thanks to the good ol' days of housing market bubble sales and 100 years of union middle-class-making, including the comfort of defined-benefit pension plans (such a thing ever existed in this "every man for himself' nation?) -- will not be denied the right to keep up with the technological Joneses (in my mother's case, defined as the "kids" in her office and the teens on the subway). I don't see the existence of the baby boom demographic-technological complex just in iPhone sales to my parents and their friends, but in the sudden appearance of my parents' social inner circle in people I "may know" on Facebook ( FB). There's something eerie about the Facebook profile photo of a person you may know, but who you do know is still making Jiffy Pop on the stove for their grandkids and driving an Accord for its reliability. They seem to stare out at me with a slightly anxious smile, as if they're surrounded by a glass box, and as they press against its sides are saying, "How did I get here?" and "I'm not so sure I like it ... help, me?" Which brings to me the furor over Apple Maps and Tim Cook's apology for not getting the app perfect in the iPhone 5 launch as Apple replaced Google's much more well-traveled Maps application (Full disclosure: I have yet to download iOS 6 on my iPhone 4S because I use Maps more than I would use any of the new features in iOS 6, and frankly, I don't see the point of screwing with my trusty Maps just for the "cool" factor of camera tricks and Passbook and the faster speed of the new OS -- iOS 5 is plenty fast for me, thank you very much.) I will wait for Apple to get it right, and judging from the "improvement" in Siri that occurs as a result of community use and input, I will be waiting a while.
