Watch Gerhard slide his Ferrari around Monaco in 1995. In my own opinion this is one of my favourite F1 Ferrari cars. Lovely to look at and also to hear its V12 Ferrari (Screamer!) engine. Just Awesome!

Thread: WvW happenings
Yup. Despite my success last night the people in /P will know my frustration with proceedings in WSR BL.
@Malfious: Yeah, you may have noticed I nipped into EB fairly briefly. Kireav (spelling?) and I were discussing the state of play there during my jaunt. I thought he was doing quite a good job, but it seemed that there was just an immense amount of backseat commanders there. I really wish that people would learn to shut up and listen to their commanders, or at least put advice in a whisper or in /P.
These people have tags for a reason and EB is enough of a clusterfuck when we have SM without every idiot who thinks that they're qualified (yet don't have a tag) barking orders in /T. I actually like it when you guys tell me shit privately because otherwise I'm just one guy randomly running around the map without any indication where our enemies are.
Yet the only thing worse than everyone speaking in /T is when no one at all pays attention to /T.
All that said, just because someone has a blue tag it doesn't make them worth following for that reason alone. Val is the epitome of this - Hell, I remember him asking what Quaggan camps do a week ago in /T. It tells you in the damn WvWvW tutorial!
Before his hiatus, Nidhogg of [VS] said some wise words in one of the Monday night Mumble meetings about how people should pick and choose their commanders and, if they don't like them, they should just fuck off and do their own thing. I agreed with that and I think it's your responsibility to think whether the blue tag you're following is worth trusting and commanders win trust by showing their skill. After trust and the commander has demonstrated that they're actually competent, you can start figuring out whether that particular commander fits with your own playstyle.Guild Wars 2:

Great to see that GH and especially the RPS crew is still busy fending off impetuous heretics. As you might have noticed (or not), me and my somewhat psychotic plant lady haven't been around for ages, so i decided to at least say hi and that i'm still there in spirit :) work, family related nonsense, health and the overall tendency of time to flow in a fixed direction has kept me from logging in at all in quite a while (nothing as dramatic as it sounds, but small nonsense has the tendency to gang up on you and hamper one's motivation)
but who am i kidding, of course all that is just an excuse for my grudge against ANet of being shortsighted enough that they still haven't included armored war-manatee-mounts or siege-dugongs (how they managed to make GW a success without those still mystifies me to no end - i still blame the overall focus on 'dungeons' in modern fantasy games on some ancient mishap involving a lazy, inattentive typist and a possibly slightly dyslexic concept artist - dugong, dungeon... an easy mistake to make, but obviously fatal in the large scheme of things)
Err, but yeah, despite my complete lack of attendance i haven't decided to actually abandon GW completely and i should be back eventually to once again roam the borderlands. (With Lilium, if that wasn't blatantly obvious)

You certainly stealthed for a long time there. Do come back and condition-damage those other pesky thieves to death for us.
RPS seems to be turning into quite a strong WvW guild on the server, almost by accident. There's loads more of us running around than back at launch.
Jesus, so after one 400+ guild from WSR jumped ship to GH, now The Karma Initiative, reddit's guild is considering the move as well.
I'm all for guilds coming to GH, but I have to say big guilds worry me a bit.[GW2] The Blackfyre clan: Aliss (Guardian) Alyss (Mesmer) Lyss (Engineer) and others.
I can't complain too much about new people coming over. We took Cliffside in WSR BL tonight and I don't think we would have held it for nearly as long as we did without Freyn and his [Ink] gang there. The only thing I'm concerned about is that if they build us up to a higher tier and then leave, allowing us to plummet back down.
Commanding this week has almost been... interesting and pretty fun at the same time. As you all know, I've kept off Mumble for the most part because I prefer to listen to Frank Ocean than some of the stuff on there.
That said, it has made me communicate a lot more in all of the chat channels in the game and ultimately my zerg-herding skills have improved because of it.
On the flip side, I feel like I'm quickly becoming at odds with certain types of people. I've expressed my despair for Mumblers who pay no attention to /T before and the presence of these folks is becoming more apparent, at least in my eyes.
Moreover, I don't actually mind people who could be considered 'backseat commanders'. We had one guy running with us tonight who was pretty vocal, but I didn't mind it because he was making good calls. However, I do really dislike people who go batshit when our BL turns a little bit of the enemies' colours - or if we're in one of their BLs and we lose 'Lake or 'Briar. Don't these people understand that there's something called 'breakout events' now?
I had a lot of fun tonight but it was punctuated by moments of frustration that make it transparent why GH suffers a low tier in the rankings that doesn't just boil down to lack of numbers.Guild Wars 2:

As for bigger guilds becoming a problem: Since large parts of non-WvW-focussed guilds never set foot into PvP/WvW in the first place, I would not worry too much about queues and the like.
Hopefully I'll soon get back into the game a bit more, looks like I am missing out on a lot of fun.

I don't mind it being free but they should increase the free cooldown from a week to at least a month or two. So that it is not just an oh well we will change back next week.
Yes haha - it's [Imp] not [Ink].
Don't get me wrong - I've had a lot of fun recently in WvWvW. It's great to see RPS pulling 20+ people on a week night in there.Guild Wars 2:

So the massive Russian guild alliance of XAOC are splitting up and some going to Vabbi, who are languishing at the bottom of the ladder and some are going to Surmia. This sort of server hopping completely destroys what little balance the ranking system has managed and means weeks of one-sided zergings as they move up tiers. Anet really need to sort this out soon before it drives more players away.
It's nice that we're getting some more guilds transfer over and I think GH as a server is held in high regard as having good, honourable players and a fun community. We've had a few people go off to check out other servers and come back saying they missed the team spirit we have here, which is much more important than being in a high tier IMO.
Since before KISS left it's always seemed that the core of the WvW side was made up of small guilds working well together and having an egalitarian approach to getting stuff done. While this has lead to confusion and lack of planning at times, it's also meant we've largely avoided the worst of the hardcore guild egos making demands on the rest of the players. I really like this sort of amateurish setup and the one thing that will destroy WvW for me would be a load of massive guilds turning up and bossing people around. Let's hope the car crash of the higher tiers doesn't mean we get too much of that. Of course smaller guilds that play well with others would be welcome, but I hope we don't have people trying to recruit from the higher tiers.
I hope the 10-core initiatives helps us improve working as a series of small guilds or random parties that learn to cooperate at short notice to achieve stuff larger zergs can't manage. It's a much more interesting style of play and the sort of thing that typifies what GH is about as a WvW server.

There has been no word on it, and until that is sorted the servers can't really be locked down. Guesting should be there because servers are bound to the whole player account and server lockdown is only there because of WvW, but in turn WvW relys on the server lockdowns to prevent what you mention from happening. It would be near impossible to shift a whole 1000+ man guild when it costs 20g+ a pop to move over. At the moment it's stupidly easy.
Still, here's hoping. Maybe in one of the upcoming patches.

Oddly enough Anet have started opening up a bit on the official WvW forum- I can't post a link or this post will disappear into the pre-moderation abyss, but here's what Mike Ferguson said:
And yes, we need to get paid server transfers in. We all agree with that statement, and we're trying to make it happen as soon as we can, while still making sure the guesting system is as useful and easy to use as possible. We're agonizingly close, so hopefully soon we can stop talking about it and just do it!
Ah and Krathor, i've noticed that you used the word commanding in one of your posts - did you ever get around to buy one of those fancy blue icon related books? Even though you managed to keep things organized without one of those back when i still was (hyper) active i always thought that one of those might suit you well

Camp supply buffs - the +5 supply on camps (making 15 in total) only costs 200 Guild Influence and lasts 12 hours. It also doesnt matter if we loose the camp as you can reapply the buff when we take it back. You can even "Move" the buff to where it is needed by claiming a different camp nearer the action if needed. Even smaller guilds (like mine) should claim camps and put up the +5 supply when they can and leave the towers, keeps and garrisons to the big guilds. Having a source of 15 supply can help everyone.[GW2] The Blackfyre clan: Aliss (Guardian) Alyss (Mesmer) Lyss (Engineer) and others.
Me, I'll check who else tonight when I get back home. Officers at least, I would assume.

jane iredale : loose mineral powder
This mineral foundation is perfect for coverage and the many shades available. I have tried numerous mineral foundations, but this is my favorite and I wear it every day. It looks very natural and covers well. I have a shade for winter Warm Sienna and another for when I am tanned called Latte. This is a quality product.

Howdy all,
I'm trying my hand at WEP cracking again after trying it a couple of years ago. Back then, I didn't do any aireplay stuff, so it was just airodump, wait a few weeks, and then run aircrack.
I'm now experimenting with aireplay/injection, with zero results to show for it. So, I've got some questions which are along the lines of "Injection isn't working. Why not?", but I'm hoping that I've managed to do a little more homework and that I'm providing a bit more detail about the issues that I'm having, in the hopes that it will help future readers know whether they're having the same problem that I'm having.
To help pay back the community here in exchange for help with this long post, I'm putting together a little script that should make it a lot easier to use the aircrack tools (it's not as fancy as airoscript... but it will work without xterm, though). It looks through the .txt file that airodump-ng creates and generates a list of all of the aireplay-ng command-lines necessary for all of the AP's and clients found... sorted in order of most-recent activity (so you don't try to deauth a client that was last seen 6 hours ago). This way, you don't have to keep jotting down BSSID's and ESSID's and typing them into other command windows. You just copy/paste a whole line into another command window and you're off and running.
However, I'm still learning how to actually use these tools, so I'm not sure that I'm putting the correct MAC/BSSID's in for the right parameters. I was hoping you guys could help me out.
First off, setting the mode of the card. Some of the WEP cracking HOWTO's I've come across first tell you to put your nic into monitor mode with a host of commands... iwconfig this, iwpriv that, set the channel, etc, etc, etc. All I did was just use airmon-ng and, after that, iwconfig shows the nic as being in "Mode: Monitor" and airodump-ng collects lots of packets, sees lots of AP's and clients. HOWEVER... none of the aireplay-ng stuff is giving the results I see in the tutorial.
QUESTION: Is it enough to just use airmon-ng to turn on monitor mode on my card? If I get "Mode: Monitor" in iwconfig, is that enough, or is there something more that I have to do?
Next, regarding the various aireplay-ng attacks....
A --fragment attack gives:
Saving chosen packet in replay_src-0414-172606.cap
Data packet found!
Sending fragmented packet
No answer, repeating...
Trying a LLC NULL packet
Sending fragmented packet
No answer, repeating...
Sending fragmented packet
No answer, repeating...
A --fakeauth attack gives:
17:28:50 Sending Authentication Request
17:28:53 Sending Authentication Request
17:28:56 Sending Authentication Request
A --arpreplay attack claims to find some ARP packets and claims to be sending them back out, but I never see any increase in number of IV's/sec.
A --deauth attack gives:
17:31:33 Sending DeAuth to station -- STMAC: [00:11:22:33:44:55]
17:31:34 Sending DeAuth to station -- STMAC: [00:11:22:33:44:55]
17:31:36 Sending DeAuth to station -- STMAC: [00:11:22:33:44:55]
These results are from my RT2500 card, but I get the same thing with both of my Atheros cards. Also, this is using the same card that I'm using for airodump. I don't know if this means that my cards are just not really doing the injection or if they are doing the injection and I'm just hitting up against AP's that are immune to it or something.
QUESTION: If my card/driver doesn't support aireplay injection, am I guaranteed to get some warning or error from aireplay, or, instead, will aireplay just act like it's doing what it's supposed to (like in the above examples) and then nothing ever happens?
As the various injection attacks come into vogue, I imagine that the AP manufacturers might actually be immunizing their AP's (as much as they can, anyway) against such attacks aimed at increasing IV's.
QUESTION: Is that a realistic concern? Has anybody noticed newer AP's being less susceptible to aireplay? Or is any failure to generate more IV's almost always due to injection problems on the card?
Next, which MAC addresses to use. With the various aireplay attacks, you usually have to supply two MAC addresses. One is the BSSID of the target AP. The second, however, seems to sometimes be the MAC of a client and sometimes is the MAC of the interface you're using for the attack.
QUESTION: For once and for all, which attacks (deauth, fragment, fakeauth, chopchop, arpreplay) require the MAC of an associated client, which require your MAC, and which, if any, require, allow, or recommend you use a fake one? For the ones which require an associated client, how "fresh" does the client need to be (how recently seen?).
Next, capturing/injecting on the same card. In my recent dealings with airodump, I've noticed that I can now capture from all channels at once. A couple of years ago, I had to set the channel, explicitly. So, I'm wondering what else has changed since then. Back then, you also had to use separate cards to capture and to inject.
QUESTIONS: Is it now possible to capture and inject with the same card? Or does it depend upon the card. If it depends upon the card, which ones let you do everything with just one? If you do have a card that lets you do everything with one, is there still some advantage to using separate cards?
Lastly, I'm considering buying some more wifi adaptors to use with my laptop or carputer. For that reason, they need to either be USB or PCMCIA. Secondly, I've served my time in the past fetching kernel patches or latest CVS drivers and then rebuilding either the kernel or the drivers and hassling with compiler errors, etc. Those days are over. I only want a card that supports everything airodump and aireplay can throw at it, and can do it with the existing drivers in the standard mainline linux kernel 2.6.18 or higher that comes with Debian/Ubuntu... or, failing that, with the kernel on the BT2 disc. Lastly, it's gotta have a RP-SMX or MMCX (or similar) antenna connector (preferably RP-SMX) because all of my antennas have that on the other end. I've read a bunch of the compatibility stuf at aircrack-ng.org and the "What card should I buy?" sticky thread here, but I'm having a hard time cross-referencing that data to finding something on eBay that I know is going to spell the end of my problems. Any suggestions? By that, I don't mean "Something with an Atheros chip". I'm looking for a specific model number that I can plug-n-play, attach an antenna, airodump with channel-hopping, aireplay, etc. Ideas?
Looking at a few items currently on eBay, does anybody have any experience with items #110113390647, 290103277486 (the Alfa USB-Key type), 290104727259 (the Alfa pack-of-cigarettes-sized 500mW one)?
Millions of thanks in advance...

PRASHANT Dhingre felt he had failed as a husband when his wife, Ruchira, 45, would howl from the pain of her breast cancer. On some days she was quieter and he would breathe more easily. On others she would make little noises of distress that he found more unsettling.
Their family doctor was unable to help. The government hospital outside Pune where they live had no cancer ward, never mind pain management experts. Unable to relieve his wife's agony, he felt useless.
A few weeks ago, when the couple walked through the gates of the Cipla Palliative Care and Training Centre, he felt a surge of relief.
''When the doctor told me he would ease her pain, I felt a terrible weight had been taken off me,'' Dhingre says. ''Friends told us about this place and said we would be in good hands.''
Ruchira, a magazine journalist, can now manage a smile. Her disease is advanced and the prognosis bleak but she will be going home soon now that the hospital staff have taught her husband how to administer the right painkillers and to be alert for dangerous symptoms.
The small hospital is free. It has just 52 beds and is run by committed doctors and nurses. Volunteers come in every day to lift patients' spirits. Cheerful paintings hang everywhere.
But there is no portrait of Yusuf Hamied, who set up the hospital and, more importantly, manufactures the drugs used to treat Ruchira and the other patients.
If the patients had not received the low-cost drugs made by Hamied's company, the Indian drug giant Cipla, they would have faced the same fate as millions of poor Indians who have cancer: told to go home and die. Many branded cancer drugs cost, per month, what patients earn in five years.
I ask Vilas Naik, 62, who has mouth cancer, if he knows who Hamied is. He shakes his head. ''Have you heard of Cipla?''
Hamied, the champion of affordable medicines, may not yet be a household name in India, but many think he should be, given how his generic drugs for cancer, AIDS and other diseases have mitigated the suffering of many Indians and millions of others around the world.
A billionaire born into a distinguished Muslim family, Hamied set up the Pune hospital 15 years ago after attending a talk in England about palliative care, then an unknown subject in India.
Sitting in Cipla's head office in Mumbai, a four-hour drive from Pune, Hamied explains why he established the hospital. ''We were making cancer drugs but I also wanted to do something else to relieve the pain of cancer patients. I didn't want a hospice, I wanted a place of hope,'' he says.
He is 76, but looks younger. His eyes twinkle and he speaks energetically about his passion to supply cheap drugs to those who need them. He looks fit and healthy, but as someone who has chronic back pain he can identify what his patients go though. ''Alleviation of suffering is my fundamental principle,'' he says.
To do this he has had to take on the big drug companies over their patents and monopolies, and wage a campaign emphasising the need for generic unbranded drugs that cost a fraction of branded ones but are equally effective.
Cipla, along with other Indian generic drug makers, has led India to become known as the ''pharmacy of the world''.
Cipla exports to 170 countries. International health aid organisations such as Medecins Sans Frontieres buy some of Cipla's 2000 drugs for diseases such as AIDS, malaria and asthma, and supply them at affordable prices to Africa and developing countries.
In 2001, Hamied, who manufactures drugs cheaply at his 36 plants in India, sent tremors through the boardrooms of every drugs multinational when he slashed the price of life-saving triple-therapy drug cocktails for AIDS from $10,000 per person a year to $150.
''I had seen AIDS patients in India and Africa, and knowing that people were dying even though drugs existed that could help them was shattering for me,'' he says.
An estimated 7 million Africans have been treated with Cipla AIDS drugs (now even cheaper at $80 per year), making the Cipla name famous in Africa. Cipla's presence there is a prime demonstration of Hamied's business philosophy - the pursuit of profit by a healthcare company in developing countries must be accompanied by humanitarian concerns.
''Reducing the price of AIDS drugs gave me so much satisfaction that I've been thinking what else I could do. One day, I thought let's look at cancer and see how we can spare cancer patients' unnecessary suffering.
In India, poor people are treated for free at government hospitals, but they have to pay for medicines. But millions cannot afford medicines that can cost 300,000 rupees ($A5250) a month when they earn only 5000 rupees a month.
''The people I see are in despair when they hear the cost. Even if they sell everything they possess they still won't be able to afford them. So they go back to their villages to die in agony,'' says New Delhi oncologist Dr Bhavna Sirohi.
In May, the price of Cipla's cancer drugs was slashed by 75 per cent.
''This is a great blessing. I have always hated the look on people's faces - the despair - when they hear what the drugs are going to cost,'' says Harmala Gupta, who runs CanSupport, a voluntary cancer support group in New Delhi.
It is Cipla cancer drugs that are being used to treat Sulochana Awate, 62, who had a radical mastectomy four months ago but arrived at the Pune hospital suffering from lymphoedema, a swelling of the hand and arm that can follow surgery for breast cancer. ''I used to cry all night from the pain,'' says Awate. ''Now the pain has gone and I'm hoping to go home soon.''
When cancer comes to the poor, it's like a biblical pestilence, ravaging everything. Families have no money and even less knowledge. In the countryside, the local hospital is usually a joke. Priyadarshini Kulkarni, the medical director at the Cipla hospital, says most government hospitals have no oncologists. Hardly any offer palliative care. ''We invite doctors and nurses from all over India to come here for training in palliative care,'' she says.
In India, treatment for cancer exists only for the rich. The poor, after being diagnosed, are packed off to die in great pain at home. According to the World Health Organisation, more than 2.5 million Indians are diagnosed with cancer every year.
However, the Indian government plans to make it mandatory for doctors in government hospitals to prescribe low-cost generic medicines, a move that will help poor patients get the drugs they need.
The Indian government has awarded Hamied one of its highest honours, the Padma Bhushan. And last year, Cambridge University (where he received his doctorate in organic chemistry) unveiled a bust of him in honour of his humanitarian work.
Hamied is continuing the humanitarian work of his father, Khwaja Abdul Hamied, who established Cipla in 1935. During the Second World War, when India was under British rule, demand for medicines from the Indian army surged while supplies from Europe's drug makers collapsed.
Mahatma Gandhi visited Hamied snr to ask for help. He said Britain had promised India independence if India could help in the war effort. He asked Cipla to meet the drugs requirements of the British Army. Cipla provided quinine to treat malaria and injections for dysentery.
''The genesis of Cipla lies in that visit by Mahatma Gandhi. What I learnt during my childhood was the ethos that we must work for what is best for India, not what is best for the company,'' Hamied says. Even at 76 he is involved in the company he has run for four decades because of his passion for generic drugs and making them widely available. While his brother's children (he has none of his own) handle the day to day affairs of the firm, he travels around the world railing against the patents and monopolies of the big drug companies, who describe him as a ''pirate''.
The Indian generic drugs revolution began in 1972 when India passed a law allowing medicines to be copied even if they were under patent, provided the process was not the same. Many multinationals left. The gap was filled by hundreds of Indian generic drug companies such as Cipla. But in 2005, in a move that Hamied calls ''disastrous'' for poor patients, India signed the intellectual property agreement known as TRIPS (Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights), which requires every nation to protect patents on new drugs for 20 years.
''India made a big mistake by signing up to TRIPS. With a population of 1.3 billion, India can't afford a monopoly in healthcare. Monopolies lead to higher prices and we can't allow them in a country like India with so much poverty and misery. It was like signing our own death warrant,'' he says.
Instead of patent protection, Hamied would like India to follow Canada's example. From 1969 to 1992, Canada copied any drug or product it chose to, provided it paid a 4 per cent royalty to the patent holder on the sales. There were no protests from the multinationals, he says.
If this system was good enough for Canada, it should be good enough for India. He would be happy to pay any multinational a 4 per cent royalty in return for being able to produce a generic version of its patented drug. But TRIPS does not provide for that.
Moreover, he loathes what he calls the ''underhand tricks'' of the big multinationals to maintain patents on drugs in perpetuity.
''Just before a patent is due to expire, they make a minor modification to it and call it 'new' to extend the life of a patent by many years,'' he says.
In the industry this is known as ''ever-greening'', or as Hamied describes it, ''ever-greeding''.
At the hospital, Kulkarni is saying goodbye to an elderly woman who is being discharged. Wearing a bright fuchsia sari, she is being wheeled out by several male relatives fussing over her and beaming with delight. ''Access to affordable medicines should be a human right. Every hour of life is precious and it should be pain free,'' she says.

HANNAH TAPLEY enjoyed a double bill of compensation after just missing out on the England Schools Athletics high jump title at the weekend.
On Saturday, Hannah, from Lechlade, will pull on an England vest for the first time to line up for a four-cornered home international meeting against Scotland, Ireland and Wales at Cardiff University.
And on Monday she was chosen to take part in the prestigious Sainsbury's Schools Games in Manchester this September, the event which really launched the careers of the likes of Ellie Simmonds, Johnnie Peacock, Hannah Cockcroft and Adam Gemili.
"I'm so happy to get the call for two such great events," said Hannah.
Last weekend at the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham, former Ciren AC athlete Hannah, who boards at Malvern St James School, equalled her personal best jump of 1.74 in the Intermediate Girls competition.
That was the same height cleared by eventual winner Abby Ward, but Hannah lost out on countback.
"I was delighted to jump 1.74m in Birmingham," said Hannah, "and I get the chance to compete against Abby again in Cardiff as she is also on the England team.
"Looking at the record of the other girls in the competition we appear to be the two favourites."
Hannah, 15, improved her personal best by 13cm in 2013 and another 9cm in 2014 to head the country's U17 rankings.
Since winning the England Athletics Indoor U17s Championship earlier this season, she has maintained remarkable consistency, winning two county titles (Wiltshire as well as Hereford and Worcs) along with the Independent Schools Association (ISA) U17s championship when she equalled the national record.
To cap it all, she won Sportsperson of the Year at Malvern School.
The Sainsbury's 2014 School Games (September 4-7) will present her biggest task to date.
Manchester will host 1,600 up-and-coming stars from across the country in 12 sports at an event that boasts an Olympic-style athletes' village, anti-doping education, plus opening and closing ceremonies.
More than 10,000 spectators are expected to attend.

Larimer County has adopted a voluntary green building program for single-family homes.
There are many definitions — here is one from the US Environmental Protection Agency:
Green building is the practice of creating structures and using processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation and deconstruction. This practice expands and complements the classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort. Green building is also known as a sustainable or high performance building.
Green Building can include anything from buying more efficient appliances to designing your home to take advantage of solar energy to constructing a full-blown straw-bale, adobe-brick or tires-and-recycled-cans earthship home. There has been an explosion of interest in Green Building as energy costs have risen along with concerns for the environmental impact of human activities. In addition, there are now state and federal tax incentives for using energy-efficient techniques and products. You can also receive rebates from Xcel Energy for solar installation.
Rules for Windmills and Wind Generators
Accessory Solar and Small Solar Facilities
While there are a few added issues involved in getting your green building project approved by Larimer County, there are now also many websites and agencies that can provide guidance and resources if you want to "build green." The adopted Building Codes of Larimer County (the International Building Code, International Residential Code, International Plumbing Code, International Mechanical Code, International Energy Conservation Code, 2015 editions) are based upon standard wood and light-gage metal framing construction methods. Other materials - including building materials used for thousands of years such as rammed earth and adobe - are not specifically addressed in the codes. They can still be used, provided they meet the provisions for "Alternative materials, design and methods of construction and equipment" (2015 IRC Section 104.11):
The provisions of this code are not intended to prevent the installation of any material or to prohibit any design or method of construction not specifically prescribed by this code, provided that any such alternative has been approved. An alternative material, design or method of construction shall be approved where the building official finds that the proposed design is satisfactory and complies with the intent of the provisions of this code, and that the material, method or work offered is, for the purpose intended, not less than the equivalent of that prescribed in this code. Compliance with the specific performance-based provisions of the International Codes shall be an alternative to the specific requirements of this code. Where the alternative material, design or method of construction is not approved, the building official shall respond in writing, stating the reasons why the alternative was not approved.
Section R104.11 "Tests" goes on to say
Whenever there is insufficient evidence of compliance with the provisions of this code, or evidence that a material or method does not conform to the requirements of this code, or in order to substantiate claims for alternative materials or methods, the building official shall have the authority to require tests as evidence of compliance to be made at no expense to the jurisdiction...
In general, you will need to hire a licensed Colorado engineer or architect to verify the proposed structure meets all snow and wind loads and is otherwise structurally adequate.
Larimer County has adopted energy code standards [pdf] for insulation, heating and cooling equipment, and window performance. Green Buildings should have no trouble meeting these standards and may well exceed them.
For information on graywater systems, composting toilets and other plumbing issues, please visit the Larimer County Dept. of Health and Environment.
Larimer County has no jurisdiction over electrical issues, permits and inspections - please go to the Colorado State Electrical Board.
Building Green in the Rockies Video Series
Colorado Green Consortium has announced the public release of "Building Green in the Rockies", a video series on DVD, explaining sustainable building practices and products.
Colorado State University offers a Green Building Certificate program.
Utilizing good quality used (or even unused new) materials can keep tons of materials out of the county landfill, as well as save energy and resources needed to produce new materials. Please be aware of 2006 IRC Section R104.9.1, which states "Used materials, equipment and devices shall not be reused unless approved by the building official." Used materials must meet current code provisions and be adequate in all regards. Check with your local building inspector (who works for the building official) before incorporating used materials in your project.

Hey mascara lovers! I have a new Beauty Buzz for you and this time it's a review of one of Clinique's new mascaras. It just might take your lashes to a new extreme! Check it out below…I even did a little photo shoot for you!
I guess Clinique's #1 selling mascara has always been High Impact Mascara, but now there's a new kid on the block…High Impact Extreme Volume Mascara ($19.50). Available in Black and Extreme Black, this new mascara claims to give your lashes "the most dramatic, voluminous, glam-look" in an instant.
There's a new "oversized, multi-dimensional molded brush," opthalmologist tested, and suitable for contact lens wearers and sensitive eyes.
Let's see if it did the trick…
As you can see in the photo below, I tried four coats of Extreme Black on my lashes. I was a little skeptical at first. The first coat didn't do too much. But, as I kept applying I noticed the length of my lashes appear longer…which was awesome.
I applied more…maybe too much? That's when my lashes started to cling together. I didn't get the volume I hoped for, but the length of the lashes made me happy. There was no flaking, it's long wearing, and it comes of easily with eye-makeup remover. I will admit I didn't try to separate or brush my lashes out out (next time I'll do that). This is just a straight application. If you wear false lashes, I can really see you getting a dramatic look with this mascara. See what other users are saying…
So…what do you think? Will try it?

Where could I find a good -- free or not too expensive -- online JS course for intermediate students? I did the beginners course on the W3 Schools website, plus the DHTML 'course', and passed the test with good grades, but cannot find a good sequel. I know there are some sticky threads on JS resources, but they contain such a lot of links and book titles that I still don't know which to continue with. (A good book recommendation will do as well.)
It is important that it picks up where the W3 Schools course left us, and that it is more or less a real course.
Thanks in advance.
SitePoint has a pretty good [JavaScript set of videos at Learnable, one of which is [url="https://learnable.com/courses/javascript-programming-for-the-web-40"]JavaScript Programming for the Web](https://learnable.com/sitepoint#javascript)
That could be worth checking out.
That looks great, Paul! Thanks again. I could probably skip the first few lessons, since I've already written a couple of DHTML scripts myself, but later on it gets interesting, according to the Course Outline.
Now that we're 'chatting' anyway, what would you recommend after that? I'm guessing I'd just need a couple of days to get through that whole course, and I will probably be interested to learn more.
I'll second Paul's vote that the videos at Learnable are a far better way to learn JavaScript than at a site that hasn't been updated in a long time (the w3schools site is the personal site of just two guys and there is so much on it they couldn't possibly hope to keep it up to date).
Could you point out a few important antiquated JS codings on W3 Schools? That would save me a lot of searching and comparing, hopefully.
It's got so bad at w3schools that there is a W3Fools web site dedicated to the problems.Here's their section on JavaScript issues at w3schools.
I'd rather not go into that, but would like to hear from you what you would advise to do after the Learnable course.
After that I suggest that you put what you have learned in to practice. Only by doing that will you come to understand what you already know, and realise which areas of knowledge that you need to build on.
You can investigate our of [Useful Tips & Tricks, there's a large range of [url="http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?660198-JavaScript-Books-Help"]JavaScript books that focus on different areas, and our [url="http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?511030-Javascript-Links-amp-Resources"]Links & Resources](http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?90644-Javascript-Usefull-Tips-amp-Tricks) section has good material to check out too.
What would we say to creating (simple) cross-browser addEvent/removeEvent functions?
This whole eventListening thing, or how IE calls it, is indeed interesting if you want to add events to a whole series of elements. At the same time, however, if you look at this example (JS is at the bottom of the source code), how could that have made life easier?

DETROIT - Four more cases of meningitis have been reported at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Ann Arbor.
Local 4 has learned that there are now 22 patients being treated for the disease at the hospital, up from 18 on Wednesday.
The outbreak is linked to contaminated steroid injections, and as many as 13,000 people may have received the medicine between May 21 and September 24, the CDC said.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says at least 120 people nationwide have been sickened and there have been 12 fatalities.
Tennessee is the hardest-hit state, with 39 infections and six deaths, according to the CDC.
Of the remaining deaths, three occurred in Michigan and one each in Maryland and Virginia, the CDC said.
Patients contracted the deadly fungal meningitis after being injected in their spines with a preservative-free steroid called methylprednisolone acetate that was contaminated by a fungus. The steroid is used to treat pain and inflammation.
The New England Compounding Center (NECC), the Massachusetts-based pharmacy that made the contaminated injections, voluntarily recalled three lots of the injected steroid last week.
The Food and Drug Administration has already asked doctors, clinics and consumers to stop using any of the pharmacy's products. Last week, the pharmacy voluntarily surrendered its license to operate until the FDA investigation into the contamination is complete.
Health officials say 75 medical facilities in 23 states received the contaminated steroid injections from NECC.
Federal health inspectors began inspecting the NECC plant October 1. Inspectors found foreign particles in unopened vials, and after testing one of them, they determined the substance was a fungus.

Nimetullah Halil İbrahim Yurt Hodja was born in the Taşova district of the Turkish province of Amasya in 1932. His first teacher was Mehmet Ali Efendi, the mufti of Tasova. His father took the hodja to listen to the conversations of scholars and wise men from an early age. The hodja greatly increased his knowledge of Islam during these conversations. Nimetullah Hodja was also one of the first pupils to attend the İsmail Ağa Qur'an course in Istanbul.
The hodja served as muezzin at the Sultanahmet Mosque in 1955. He also served as deputy imam to the two great scholars Mehmet Efendi of Gönen and Seyyid Arvasi. When these two illustrious figures recommended that he become an imam, he served as imam, muezzin and preacher in various cities, including Istanbul, Mecca and Medina, and in various foreign countries such as Japan. While he was living in Japan, Nimetullah Hodja was invited to many places. He knows Arabic, Urdu, English, Japanese, Chinese and Farsi.
This fine passage of Nimetullah Hodja is a proof of his fine moral virtues and humility:
"I have been honored to serve and know Süleyman Hilmi Tunahan, Mehmed Zahid Kotku, Mahmut Sami Ramazanoğlu and many other friends of Allah. I ask for Allah's mercy on all the friends of Allah and our Scholars. I love them all and seek to benefit from them all. I have striven to be a student throughout my life, I am a student and I recommend that to you."
Despite his advancing age, Nimetullah Hodja still travels the world preaching and calling people to Allah with the same passion and sincerity. He has to date visited more than 55 countries for the purpose of telling everyone that Islam bestows love, peace and calmness. He has established sincere friendships with people in all the countries he has been to, no matter what their language, color or faith, and has introduced our religion, our country and our values to them and been instrumental in the happiness of many people.
During his conversations, Nimetullah Hodja reminds Muslims that they are brothers and must love one another, and imparts the glad tidings that Islam will prevail across the world in this century and that Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will appear in this century.
In an interview with Feyz Magazine on 30 August, 2008, Nimetullah Hodja stated that the century we are living in will see the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh):
Feyz magazine asks; Why do you emphasize the matter of the End Times so much?
Nimetullah Efendi: THIS CENTURY WILL BE THE CENTURY OF ISLAM, THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THE MAHDI WILL COME. SOME PEOPLE UNDERESTIMATE THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS. THAT IS VERY WRONG. I have heard that in person from many elders. There are many hadiths on that subject....
THIS CENTURY WILL BELONG TO ISLAM, INSHA'ALLAH. OPPRESSION AND INJUSTICE IN THE WORLD WILL FADE AWAY ... Great scholars in the Arab world and Turkey are agreed that Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will come. There is no doubt about it. Our job is to assist Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) by preaching. But not only by talking. It will happen if you set out and strive to do what others cannot. You will wait a long time if you do not observe Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) … WE MUST BOTH SEEK HIM and work hard and strive to acquire the moral values of our Prophet (saas). (30 August 2008 issue of Feyz Magazine)

Dental Anesthesia
Versed or not Versed
Our son is 8 yr old, and is on the autism spectrum. He has a lot of reservation regarding the dentist,as his last one a (Pediatric Dentist) pulled out two of his teeth that were loose, but on the their way out on their own. And he was strapped to a papoose board to do 1 filling. Our current dentist, wants to call in a Versed Rx for him to get two fillings done. I am very nervous about this, as I have read the adverse affects of it. What are your thoughts of using Versed on children, given the side effects? Thank you
Thank you for your question. Midazolam (Versed) is a very safe drug when administered at recommended dosages. Serious adverse effects are indeed very rare. When used alone in typical doses, respiratory (breathing) depression is generally minimal and similar to sleep. If your son is a loud snorer, has very large tonsils, or sleep apnea, this risk increases. For a short procedure, midazolam may be fine. Usually, the dentist will have adequate procedural sedation time of around 15 - 20 minutes. This sounds about right for two fillings.
The most bothersome adverse effect is "disinhibition", meaning that instead of relaxing your son, he may become agitated. Of course, as you can suspect, patients with autism spectrum are somewhat unpredictable. Still, this is a good safe alternative. The dentist may also add nitrous oxide (laughing gas) which is fine.
The other option is to have a dentist anesthesiologist come to your pediatric dentist's office and provide deep sedation or general anesthesia. Dentist anesthesiologists are dentists who have completed a full, accredited residency in anesthesia for dentistry. Many times, the autistic patient can only be treated in this way. Alternatively, you may have the dentist take your son to the operating room but the costs are very high. To find a dentist anesthesiologist, go to asdahq.org I hope this helps.

"They're athletic, they're already in shape, so we know they're going to go gung-ho," says Breed. And if you don't like the drop-handlebars on a road bike, Breed says, consider a new style: the upright road bike.
Price range: $700 to $10,000
Mountain bikes: There are no mountains in Florida, but that hasn't stopped the mountain bike from becoming a hot seller. The reason? In the 1990s, it became the bike of choice for people who wanted a bike that was more durable than a road bike and could handle riding on different types of surfaces, including sand and dirt paths and brick streets.
If you're looking for the basics, remember this: Mountain bikes (also known as all-terrain bikes) aren't for riding fast, they're for riding furious—meaning that you can jump curbs or go off-road or bounce around on them, and they'll hold up well. But you'll be left in the dust by your friends riding road bikes if you're out on a 20-mile trip.
More: Buying Time: Which Aero Equipment Offers the Most Benefits?
Price range: $200 to $3,000
Hybrid bike: In recent years, the debate among occasional riders has been whether to buy a comfort bike or a hybrid bike. Both bike styles allow riders to sit up straight, rather than leaning forward, road-bike style. But hybrids have been more popular than comfort bikes, says David Sanborn, owner of David's World Cycle.
The reason? While comfort bikes have a wide tire and a smaller wheel, hybrids have a skinnier tire (like a road bike) and a bigger wheel, so the bike will go faster without as much effort. "Hybrids are lighter than comfort bikes, and everybody likes to go a little farther a little faster," says Sanborn.
Price range: $300 to $2,000
Lifestyle bike: The newest family in the bicycle kingdom is the lifestyle category of bikes. Lifestyle bikes encompass several different types of bikes, but they all share one thing: attitude.
More: Tech Talk: Can You Buy Speed?
The old beach cruiser, for instance, has gone retro, with bright colors and swooping handlebars. "These are bikes for a certain lifestyle," says Sanborn. "It's an image. It's for rolling over to the Starbucks and getting a coffee."
Also included in the lifestyle category are comfort bikes, which have as many as 21 gears but come equipped with a wide seat and a wide tire like that found on a mountain bike.
Some high-end lifestyle bikes are also sporting a new feature: a three-speed gearing system that shifts automatically. Also in the technology department, one American bike company, Electra, has developed bikes with "flat-footed technology" that allows riders to put their feet flat on the ground at a stoplight—without getting off the seat.
More: Ask the Experts: Getting a Pro Bike Fit
"This is great for people who've had knee operations," says Breed. "At intersections they don't want to stand up on their tiptoes. They want their feet securely on the ground."
Yet it's the splashy colors and the comfortable, squishy ride that are drawing customers. "We have young kids that come in and want to look crazy on these wild-colored bikes, and then we have people who are grandparents who come in, and they want that bike because it's like the one they had when they were kids," says Sanborn.
Price range: $199 to $700

I need to access two tables simultaneously that don't share a common column. Is that possible? If so what's the keyword(s)?
What do you mean don't have a common column? How would they be related?
You need to look into the JOIN syntax. Here's a pretty basic but good explanation.
yes it's possible, but the "keyword" depends on what's in those tables
can you give an outline of the columns in rach table?
except there's no relationship between these tables. JOIN requires a relationship. right?
one table has 15 columns the other only has one. the table with one col tracks transactions codes. If a transaction codes exists no more queries will be executed with that code - a kind of elseif control for queries.
use two separate queries
That's what I'm working with at this moment. mysql if...elseif...else is what I really need. I've looked at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/if-statement.html.
Is it as easy as it looks? If so, why isn't it used more? Seems WHERE is usually used in place of IF.
what you're probably thinking of is php logic
the mysql IF statement is for use within stored procedures
The issue I'm struggling with is locking down a table row long enough to to deal with all the if-then-and-buts.
for example here are two simple queries coded to run one right after the other:
UPDATE plan SET accepted = accepted + 1 WHERE id = '" . $id . "'"
UPDATE plan SET price = price + increase, accepted = 0 WHERE id = '" . $id . "' AND accepted => decision_point"
as written, I think the value in the accepted column could exceed the the decision point by quite a bit depending on other users that mange to get in between these two lines of code with a line of code that just says: UPDATE plan SET accepted = accepted + 1 WHERE id = '" . $id . "'" . I'd like to avoid that. Any ideas?
where exactly do the two unrelated tables come into this scenario?
You're going to need to go outside SQL to do that, and it's pretty easy if you've already selected the accepted and decision point fields from the database...
$accepted += 1;
strSQL = "UPDATE plan SET " . (($accepted > $decisionPoint) ? " price = price + increase, accepted = 0" : "accepted = {$accepted}") . " WHERE id = {id}";
then they can be updated by somebody else before you get there!!
do a search for race condition
Yes, I know - but unless your connection SUCKS, the chances of you getting rickrolled like that aren't super high, especially for a case like this. You'd have to have people clicking within milliseconds of this happening if you code it right....
the only example of "if you code it right" worth shít --
START TRANSACTION ... la de dah ... COMMIT
Normally I'd agree with you, but in php/mysql, not so much. I've had to rip some transaction/commit stuff out because the performance sucked. Might be the framework involved, but it definitely caused a LOT of problems.....
GET_LOCK seems to be the answer. The discussions aren't real encouraging about its desirability. Sounds like GET_LOCK causes it own problems. What's your opinion (lock/don't lock)?
fear, uncertainty, and doubt, eh?
the original poster clearly stated:
I think the value in the accepted column could exceed the the decision point by quite a bit depending on other users that mange to get in between these two lines of code
so in this case i would say just ignoring the race condition is ~not~ the right choice
Sorry about that. I missed your #14 post: START TRANSACTION ... la de dah ... COMMIT ... la de dah ... COMMIT (if done correctly).
What shout I be on the look-out for to do it "correctly"?
Any START TRANSACTION tutorials you can recommend?
using a mysql transaction is doing it correctly
sorry, the only tutorial i've ever used was the mysql manual
OK, then I'll pursue START TRANSACTION and open another topic when needed.
Thanks for your help r937 and DaveMaxwell.

I've been following the hashtag #SolidarityIsForWhiteWomen on Twitter since learning that it was trending. I am not going to try to explain it. I think it's pretty straightforward. I don't think I have the right to analyze it. That's not the point. I'm bringing it to a blog platform at the NSVRC because I think it's the right thing to do. The anti-sexual violence movement grew out of
the a feminist movement. As a movement, we need to be having these conversations if we are ever going to realize a world without violence and oppression.
#solidarityisforwhitewomen when feminist organizations would love to have you as staff and photo prop, but never in the management.— Sally Burns (@SallyBu90167032) August 15, 2013
Not every feminist or every anti-violence activist is on Twitter, or familiar with the twitterverse. The trending conversation is still one that every feminist anti-violence activist should participate in. Participating in a conversation doesn't mean signing up for a twitter account and offering your two cents. It does mean active listening.
Unfortunately, this hashtag is not lamenting a new problem. Social movements in general and feminism in particular have a long history of getting intersectional oppression wrong. Focusing energy on one issue will not solve any of our social ills. In Talking About a Revolution, social organizers from a variety of movements originating in the 1960s discuss lessons learned. Divisive strategies didn't work. Single-issue focus didn't work. There is no place for them in social change work.
I think the NSVRC falls into the category of a "mainstream feminist organization" referenced in the stream of #SolidarityIsForWhiteWomen. That means that we have to do better. Maybe bringing attention to this conversation on another platform is a start.

I'm learning Python and I made a simple guessing game and I don't understand why every time I input a number the response is that the number is too low. It only says the number is too high if it's way over the actual number.
I think the problem is in "def Eval(x, y)" somewhere.
It's probably a very stupid error on my part since I'm just beginning to learn.
Here is the code:
- Code: Select all
import sys
import random
def Start():
print 'Welcome to the guessing game.'
print 'Try to guess the number between 1-10'
y = random.randint(1, 10)
def End():
decide = raw_input ('Enter [q] to quit or Enter [n] to play again: ')
if decide == 'q':
elif decide == 'n':
print 'Sorry that was not a choice.'
def Win():
print 'Congratulations, you are correct!'
def Eval(x, y): # the problem is somewhere here I think
if x == y:
if x >> y:
print 'y', y # I added these prints to see if there is a problem with x, y. There is no problem.
print 'x', x
print 'Sorry your number is too high'
x << y
print 'y', y
print 'x', x
print ' Sorry your number is too low'
def Game(y):
x = input ('Guess: ')
Eval(x, y)
print y
x = input ('Guess: ')
Eval(x, y)
x = input ('Guess: ')

HOUSTON - Detectives are investigating several cases of theft from a gym in The Woodlands.
According to Montgomery County sheriff's deputies, surveillance cameras captured a man, who they identified as Byron Duncan, getting into a 2009 white Ford F-150 outside Villa Sports in The Woodlands.
Minutes earlier, Duncan was inside the gym, but instead of working out, deputies said Duncan was breaking into lockers in the men's dressing room.
"There's a combination lock that you plug in your own code. I don't know how you'd break into them," said one gym member.
But according to deputies, Duncan possibly watched guests enter their codes into their lockers. When left, Duncan entered the code number himself, investigators said.
Duncan has been accused of stealing a $47,000 watch from one locker and then trying to sell it at Hal Martin's Jewelers on Westheimer in Houston.
According to deputies, Duncan was spooked while waiting for an offer, left the watch behind and took off.
"They took my car keys, my house keys, and my wallet," said one gym member whose locker was burglarzed. "I keep them in a little locker near the front desk. People work out there and they can see anybody trying to get in there."
Montgomery County deputies are asking anyone who has seen Duncan to call them at 281-297-6510 or Crime Stoppers at 800-392-STOP.
According to deputies, Duncan is out on parole for tampering with a government document. Police said he gave the officer his brother's identifying information during a traffic stop.
About10 years ago, Duncan pleaded guilty to stealing a woman's purse and checks from another man in Harris County.

In our increasingly connected world, we have come to rely heavily on our systems of communication. When telephone lines go down, or Internet connections are lost, our communities temporarily come to a halt. What if something similar were found to be happening when the human body develops Parkinson's disease (PD)? More important, what if repairing the damaged connections could help treat the disease?
These are the questions being asked by Yvonne Schmitz, Ph.D., associate research scientist at the PDF Research Center at Columbia University Medical Center,who works in the laboratory of David Sulzer, Ph.D. When Dr. Schmitz began her project five years ago, she was studying "survivor neurons" — that is, the dopamine neurons that have not yet died in Parkinson's. She knew that by the time people are diagnosed with PD, they have already lost about 30 percent of the dopamine neurons in the brain. She wanted to study the ones that remain, to understand how they keep PD at bay at first ... and why they too eventually succumb to the disease.
During her research, she stumbled across an important clue. She found that one component of the survivor neurons in PD — the axon — had become withered and weak. Axons are the long arms of cells. In order for the body to move normally, dopamine neurons "talk" to each other, by passing messages through strong and healthy axons (see box below).
In healthy dopamine neurons, the axons of the neurons reach from one area of the brain (the substantia nigra) to another (the striatum). When the axons reach the striatum, they branch out like bushes to release a chemical message, dopamine, from the tip of each branch. This means that the more branches, the better. In PD, axons are short and withered, which inhibits this process of cells sending messages or "talking" to each other.
Armed with this new knowledge, Dr. Schmitz began looking for ways to strengthen axons - in essence, to repair the phone lines, hoping that in turn, cell communication would resume. First, she and her team found that a substance called glutamate could actually strengthen and repair axons in cell cultures. This resulted in improved communication between dopamine neurons. But there was a problem: as helpful as glutamate was in fixing axons, it was also toxic. It could not realistically be developed as a treatment for people with PD.
Her team's next step was to look for alternative substances that would mimic glutamate's capacity to fix axons without being toxic. They soon found one called ACPPB. Results from initial experiments in mice showed that ACPPB enhanced axons, improved communication between dopamine neurons and improved the PD symptoms of the mice. Her team knew that years of testing would be required before it could be made available to people.
But as luck would have it, there was already a drug in development for schizophrenia — Bitopertin — which works in a very similar way to the compound their team discovered for PD. The drug is already well along in the testing process, and its safety in humans is already established. This means that if it could be proven effective in PD, the drug could come to market sooner than a compound that has only just been discovered.
Dr. Schmitz' journey with these experiments underscores the need to invest in basic science and support scientists for the long term. With the dedication of her team and the continuous support of PDF, she has been able to demonstrate that our brains function much like our communities: communication keeps things running. Imagine the possibilities if we were able to repair the phone lines and Internet connections of the brain? Dr. Schmitz says, "It's all very hopeful!"

TRIBUTES have been paid to a former Mayor of Burnley who has died at the age of 78.
James Wyld, of Burnley Road, Cliviger, died at Royal Blackburn Hospital on Tuesday after an illness linked to a long battle with diabetes.
Burnley councillors held a minute's silence for Mr Wyld at the annual council meeting on Wednesday.
Mr Wyld, who was elected as a Conservative councillor in 1973, retired from his Cliviger and Worsthorne seat in 1990. He and his wife, Janet, were Mayor and Mayoress of the borough for 1985-86.
Daughter Kathryn 47, said her father, who worked for the family's building firm, had battled on after having both his legs amputated and being given artificial limbs.
"He was such a determined gentleman, he tried very hard to be as normal as possible," said Kathryn. "Even with one artificial leg, he was still up scaffolding and painting."
Mr Wyld, also served as a county councillor and was a Burnley College governor.
Tom Forshaw, head of Burnley Council's chief executive's office, said: "Jim was very well-respected and it is a sad loss for the town. He was a dedicated councillor for many years Ex-MP Peter Pike, added: " He was a former strong leader of the Conservatives on Burnley Council and he gave many years of service to the people of Burnley."
Mr Wyld is survived by his wife, daughter, son, James, 51, daughter-in-law Sue and grandchildren, James, 14, and Katy, 12.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Rookie Danny Espinosa drove in six runs, hitting a grand slam, a solo homer and getting two other hits and helping the Washington Nationals rout the New York Mets 13-3 Monday for their third straight victory.
Espinosa, called up from Triple-A on Wednesday, led off the third inning with a home run off Mike Pelfrey. Espinosa added an RBI single in the fifth, hit a grand slam off Ryota Igarashi in the sixth and doubled in the eighth. It was the 11th grand slam the Mets have allowed this season.
Espinosa has three homers in his last three games.
Washington scored 13 unanswered runs to post its 60th win of the season, eclipsing the Nationals' total from both 2008 and 2009.

Windows 7
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"Ah, Windows 7. After the mother of all errors and the father of all lagging, we have a fucking Vista ripoff. That's exactly what an average user needs now, yeah."
"Windows 7 I do not have. A piece of shit Windows XP is!"
Windows 7, codenamed "This Time We Swear We'll Do It Right", is the next version of Microsoft Windows after Windows Vista currently being developed and tested by Mongolian outsourcers. Its build number is 7000 following the Microsoft policy of "Move the Decimal Place Three Places to the Right" in order, so it is said, to make the product appear more progressed than it actually is...
As can be seen below, this crisis has had many implications:
edit Built-In Viruses
Windows 7 boasts a wide array of inbuilt applications, notably thousands of viruses. The following excerpt is taken from a pre-production box: "Now with preinstalled worms right out of the box, Windows 7 allows you to truly get on with your life, meaning that you no longer have to update your system's security, including keyloggers that keep your identity secure (read the terms and conditions) so that you don't have to!" Mr Billy Rubin, the inventor of Windows, reportedly made this move after he was sued by the creators of the infamous W32 Blaster. He stated in a recent interview, "It's for the best, really, because it means you will be disconnected from dial-up connections every 15 minutes, which will save pay-as-you-go customers a lot of money. It's ingenious technology!"
edit "Smart" Defragmenter
Since Microsoft was sued by data recovery companies for being too stable - and thus threatening competition - Windows 7 will mean that it is effortless for users to maintain their hard drives. Specifically, any data saved will eventually spontaneously disappear. Some critics have posed the argument that this is "barely a revolutionary idea, as it already happens in Vista 98.754% of the time".
edit Windows 7 in 2012
edit Easter eggs
By entering into run "noguibsod" you enter a special mode in which you can stop the BSOD
from registering software conflicts before it's too late!
edit The "new" logo
The Microsoft Windows Developer Team has decided to go back to basics with the logo for Windows 7. The new logo looks strangely familiar to anyone who has been using computers since the 80's, but no one could put a finger on where it originated from. Then, finally, someone realized it was an updated version of the Windows 3.1 logo. What innovation and creativity!
edit "Smart" Defragmenter
Since Microsoft was sued by data recovery companies for being too stable - and thus threatening competition - Windows Hitler will mean that it is effortless for users to maintain their hard drives. Specifically, any data saved will eventually spontaneously disappear. Some critics have posed the argument that this is "barely a revolutionary idea, as it already happens in Vista 98.754% of the time".THE SUPER WINDOWS 7 DOSSSSS EDITION ( ONLY FOR ENIAC )
Dock New Taskbar
Dock Taskbar from Mac OS X is implemented is redesigned in Windows Hitler. Microsoft brands it as "all new", but it looks like someone has done it 8 years ago.
edit Apple Logos
Apple also sued Microsoft because "Redmond started his photocopiers". Therefore, they now have a market share in Microsoft and have decided to emblazon it with Apple logos in eye-catching locations, as they do in the iTunes visualiser.
Gamers sued Microsoft, complaining that Vista's graphics were not much of an improvement in comparison to XP's, despite the DOS Aero interface. Thus, Microsoft have now switched to a sleek graphical user interface, pictured in the exclusive screenshot below:
Microsoft says the interface is "nerd-friendly" thanks to the large taskbar and obvious start button. Note 'bhen chhod bhaynchod' is the Indian translation of 'start'; this is one of the languages featured in the Microsoft DPE or Destitute Persons' Edition, which has been labelled a "boom-take". The default DPE wallpaper is a beautiful panoramic shot of the modern Indian landscape, also shown in the screenshot.
Windows 7 still has Aero and it looks almost the same high quality glass themes like in Vista.
edit Inbuilt Games
Billy Rubin promises that the new preinstalled games will be close to reality, a notable example being "Microsoft Virtual Kitten Huffing Simulator X 2009(C)"
edit New Improved Security
Windows 7 invades your neighbor's Linux and Mac OSX systems and claims them as its own. It also puts all of those legacy Windows programs in concentration camps and refuses to let them run, forcing you to buy German versions of those programs for extra money. The German versions of those programs take control of your computer and invade the Polish and French versions of Windows 7.0 using the Internet.
German is of course, the default language, and you cannot change it. MS-Office 2009 edition has Hitler as one of the Office Assistants and he ordered the execution of the Paperclip office assistant. He yells and screams at you, and you cannot make him go away unless you buy Windows 7.0 Allies Edition but you must wait for Windows 7.0 Imperial Japan edition to bomb the Windows 7.0 USA Pearl Harbor edition before the US version of Windows 7.0 enters the fight against Windows 7.0 Hitler edition.
After a few years of fighting, Windows 7.0 Hitler edition commits suicide in the Windows bunker and it is replaced with Windows 8.0 Socialist Germany EU edition with a new technopunk soundtrack and desktop theme. [1]
Clearly Windows 7 is the Master Race version of Windows, since it is superior to all other versions of Windows, it refuses to run Windows Vista, XP, 2000 etc versions of Programs. Only the Hitler or German versions of Windows programs will be allowed to run.
You cannot power off Windows 7, as it will just power the system back on. If you try to do CTRL-ALT-DEL to remove running programs all it will do is make Hitler's eyes flash. Hitler will be watching everything you do, and yell and scream at you when you do something he does not like via the Hitler Office Assistant. Gestapo is watching you. Don't you dare to type anything here; than you would be violating the BSoD EULA and your license will be revoked! According to the long haired pope, Windows 7 is the first Windows to be both open, free software and respecting the 4 freedoms nobody gives a flyin' fuck about anyway. Also, Steve Ballmer told Uncyclopedia that Microsoft doesn't need astro-turfers anymore to influence buyable opinion sites like Wikipedia; as he believes in Microsoft's own strengths. He also told my laptop is on its way and will arrive before Christmas.
edit Windows 7 editions
According to boingboing.net Windows 7 will be shipped in about 20 editions to suit all tastes!
• Detect "non-genuine" products
• Gather user information and credit card numbers
• Cripple core system components
• Deploy legal team
• Launch civil litigation

I was having quite possibly the worst time getting a dual boot to function correctly on my system. Considering my system is a hodge podge with how i have things set up i figured it would be a little ruff but i did not expect this cluster **** of events.
First off, considering i am not a linux guru others who are will probubly frown on me for saying this but linux is stupid. Or mabye its grub thats stupid. I don't know. All i know is the whole system of hd0,1 and sda2 is something from a horror film. Trying to find information on what you have is even worse. Posts advising you to use fdisk -l to identiy which hd and partition your windows install is on or gparted blsk or any of these other commands all of them display useful information if the world was perfect and pings can fly. Knowing sda1 should translate to hd0,0 and seeing for your self that hd0,0 has 1 partition and is your storage drive though linux identifies it as your windows boot hd is where a user familiar with windows would give up.
I followed all the tuts and even extensivly searched google for work arounds or methods others have got working. I never once did the noob work around of posting WTF FIX and not even putting in the leg work, though after doing the work and getting it working i am even more distraught that its working with how i input my grub settings then when it wasn't...
End result, and where every user in my place is going to need to do to fix there issue, is grub. Reboot into grub, when presented with your different boot options *presumably the broken windows option that gives vague errors such as missing device or device id not correct* press C. From here we will let grub tell us the exact oposite of what linux does and get this boot working.
start by typing:
root (hd leave it exactly like that then press tab results will look like this
(hd0) (hd1) (hd2) this list tells you which hd options you have
then add the , after hd so it looks like this (hd0, *you will need to do this for all avail hard drives it lists after our first tab.
This will result in detailing to you the stucture of your hard drive, this is where i got the most benifit in finding how to set grub to boot.
for me root (hd0, *press tab* gave me results with the partitions of my linux hard drive that had grub on it. this same hard drive thats listed as hd0 is the second boot device in my bios and is labeled as sdc2 in linux via gparted and fdisk which SHOULD translate into hd2 however it doesn't.
(hd1, tab listed file system unknown or something along those lines which was actually my windows install drive and only had 1 partition which was a complete ntfs part. This drive is set as first boot in bios and is labeled as sda1 in linux. This drive is also a solid state disk so with that in mind i don't know if grub just couldn't read the partition because it was a ssd or because i had flip flopped from using windows bcd and grub several times and had to repair my bootsec and mbr so many times it just couldn't read it i dont know. but this is where we fix our problem, time for a new paragraph.
Because my drive would not display partition info and because attempting to boot with root (hd1,0) or (hd1,1) wouldn't work and grub stating partition doesn't exist for either i figured i was ****ed. I then tried to go ahead and set it to boot with all the normal parameters and setting root (hd1) with no partition defined. This.... finally after 2 and a half days... worked. From this point all it takes is a reboot into linux and an edit of grub.cfg to now define our path for booting.
root (hd1)
search --fs-uuid --set root=uuid
chainloader (hd1) +1
I don't have my exact setup as i am at work so i don't have access but to my knowlege that was the end result though i have went through a thousand iterations so it might vary slightly. The main reason for this information is for the people who don't think like linux, for those who think like a windows pc *as in on a lower level lol* to get a grip on how grub and linux variations confuse the crap out of users.
This problem also might be local to me becuase i had previously *for 2 days before this trial* had attempted to use the ill fated windows bcd boot manager to control this dual boot and jumped through loops trying to get that functioning which in turn could have broken the normal os-prober perfect set up others have described. Though i believe even with bcd my problem was i was pointing bcd to boot linux via what linux told me it was on and not what bcd actually thought it was on. Seems either boot loader you use, neither interpret what the OS sees as *A* device as actually being that device.

Larry Wilcoxen worked his first basketball game in 1958-59, a grade school game between Castleton Camp Grove and St. Johns of Bradford. He was talked into it by his partner, Gerald Gustafson of Tiskilwa.
"They were going to pay us $5 and Gerald talked them into giving us $7.50 for two games," Wilcoxen said.
After 55 years and 2,849 basketball games, Wilcoxen, 76, is hanging up his whistle. The Walnut official worked his final game of his long career in stripes in last week's BVEC girls' basketball tournament in Walnut. He quit working varsity games about five years ago.
Overall, he's worked 6,177 games in all sports over the years, or what his son, Kenny, another longtime official, calls "a lot of games getting yelled out."
Along the way, Wilcoxen has had the fortune of working with both his son and grandson, Kris. Ken Wilcoxen was recently named as the boys' basketball official of the year in the state of Illinois by the IHSA. He will be honored in July.
Larry said he's been fortunate over the years, having only a handful of instances that stand out.
He once had a fan spit on him in a football playoff game at Springfield Griffin, and when he told an usher, the usher told him he deserved it.
In a close basketball game at Prophetstown, a Fulton fan came out of the stands with 12 seconds left and, using his casted arm as a club, smacked Wilcoxen and knocked him across the gym floor.
In another game at Shannon, he gave a technical to a player for swearing and, at the end of the game, had a fan run across the floor at him only to be intercepted by the AD from Dakota who took a bullet for Wilcoxen.
Wilcoxen said he's only given out about 20 "Ts" over the years and, ironically, had to give one in his last game to a player for swearing.
The toughest times, in general, he recalls officiating and working as an administrator. It was during the '70s, when "long hair was in" on the tail end of the hippy-era and "kids thought they could do anything."
He said the local radio station once interviewed the football players, when he was playing for Farmington High, about what they wanted to do in life. Wilcoxen replied, "to become a teacher and a coach." His mother was back home listening to his future forecast and asked, "where'd you get that idea."
That idea led to a long tenure as an area educator, including stints at Bradford, Deer Grove and Tampico, and even in retirement, filling in as interim superintendent at Neponset, Malden, Ohio and Tiskilwa.
Wilcoxen guesses that his idea to get into officiating stemmed from playing all sports in high school.
Wilcoxen's farewell tour has been pleasant. He received an ovation prior to the start of his final game at Walnut and received a cake and a plaque at a game in Ohio.
He will still work some softball this spring, before officially retiring. He said it probably won't hit him until he's sitting at home on game nights.
Ken said his mother, Judy, managed to get his dad to hang 'em up, but after awhile acknowledged she may wonder why because "he'll be driving her nuts."
While officially speaking, two Bureau County officials will work this weekend's IHSA 1A-2A state girls' tournament in Normal — Buzz Fisher of Princeton and Mark Geuther of LaMoille. Fisher returns for the second straight year, Geuther for the second time in three years.
They worked Monday's 2A supersectional at Monmouth between Byron and El Paso-Gridley.
