Better Ruby With This One Weird Trick
7 Forks Worth Checking
This week saw the release of Ruby 2.1.2, an important milestone. This version of the Ruby language is also called MRI, short for Mickey's Ruby Incredible, and is known for its advanced features such as refinements and fibers. But MRI, also known as CRuby because of its COBOL heritage, is not the only Ruby vernacular. We list seven versions of Ruby that forked off from the main line at some point in its rich 42 year history.
1. Rails
Rails Ruby, or more accurately, ActiveSupport, was one of the first forks to branch off from the original Ruby code base. It is optimized for writing project management tools, and allows you to write Ruby in plain English, like please.retrieve the.row.with.id(7) from.the(:users).table.ok?.
The popular Rails windowing framework is written in ActiveSupport. There is a compatibility layer to use the ActiveSupport syntax on other Ruby implementations. Just include gem "active_support" in your project's Gemfile.
2. JRuby
JRuby is a Ruby fork based on the FactoryFactory pattern. It is Enterprise-ready and particularly well suited for XML processing. JRuby requires Java, or, if you want to use lazy enumerators, Scala. JRuby lacks green threads, so it has a higher carbon footprint than the alternatives. This is in sharp contrast to its greener, hemp smoking JVM cousin Groovy. Corporations can choose to greenwash their JRuby operations with carbon offsetting schemes, or compensate the higher impact by skipping automated testing altogether.
3. Rubinius
Rubinius started out as a test suite for CRuby, but eventually evolved into an independent fork. It is the only Ruby version written in plain Rubinius, although at its core is a small VM written as a CRuby C extension (hence its short name "rbx", for Ruby eXtension).
This Ruby fork also includes a compatibility layer dubbed "Rubinius System Layer" or "rubysl" for short, which should make it straightforward to port your existing Ruby code to Rubinius.
4. Rubinius-X
An ambitious effort to up the ante with regards to what Ruby is capable of. Rubinius-X replaces the Rubinius VM with a hand-optimized version written in i86 assembler, and replaces the Ruby syntax with Haskell. NASA has contributed patches to make rocket engine control structures first class citizens. There is active lobbying to make Rubinius-X the base language for both Linux 4.0 and Node.js 0.10.999.
5. Opal
Opal is notable for bringing the power of AJAX to Ruby, and for those of you already using Node.js the switch to Opal should be a no-brainer. After Ruby gained popularity in the Enterprise, Opal was created to piggy-back on the success of Google's Node framework GWT.
And it worked! Just like Node superseded Javascript as the main language of the web, web-watchers predict Opal will replace Node in the near future. Opal comes with Futures/Promises built-in. This software is literally as future proof as it gets!
In contrast with Ruby's "everything is an object" philosophy, in Opal everything is a Float.
PHP started out as a joint effort by Facebook and Wordpress to make Ruby less pleasant to use, in a bid to discourage those using "view-source" in their browsers from stealing corporate secrets. It was later merged back in to the main branch and renamed Erb. Erb/PHP allows you to output almost-but-not-quite-valid anything, including XML, VRML and plain text with indentation. The result is guaranteed to be unparsable by a Turing machine in finite time, but that shouldn't prevent you from simply using regular expressions.
7. CRuby
We appreciate all the variety that has come to the Ruby world, ensuring a vibrant, diverse ecosystem with something for everybody. But after all is said and done we still very much like Mickey's original project. It's as Japanese as kimchi or mango curry, as fast as… well it's fast enough anyway. And it makes programmers happy like a salmon in a sushi roll. Yay Ruby!

This is one capital that offers to be an awe-inspiring holiday adventure. There is so much to see and do it is almost daunting to make a list of must see popular attractions. However the added beauty of this city is that the main landmarks are within able walking distances and aided by an excellent public transport system.
There are five major tourist districts to consider whilst on a short break holiday in Prague. The Castle district (Hradcany), Little Quarter (Mala Strana), Old town (Stare Mesto), the Jewish Quarter (Josefov) and finally the New Town (Nove Mesto). Outside of the city, there are many other exciting areas and holiday excursions to be experienced, like the UNESCO listed medieval town of Cesky Krumlov.
What ever type of sight seeing holiday you book with us, whether a luxury package or tailor made holiday tour, Vamos Travel will be the perfect guide & host.

I'm willing to write something up to > document the localization preseed values but Christian suggested I get > in touch with you for advice first. The main question here is: how far should we go with documenting preseeding. If you'd want to document all possible values for all possible templates, that would lead to endless unreadable lists. That is why the preseeding example currently in the manual gives only a rough guide on how to preseed these options. However, I do think setting language, country and keyboard could use a bit more detailed description. There already is basic info in [1]: # Language, country, and keyboard selection cannot be preseeded from a # file, because the questions are asked before the preseed file can be # loaded. Instead, to avoid these questions, pass some more parameters # to the kernel: # # languagechooser/language-name=English # countrychooser/shortlist=US # console-keymaps-at/keymap=us The hardest option to document properly is setting the keymap, as that depends on: - architecture (the manual does not only document Intel x86 systems); - kernel version (2.4 works completely different from 2.6 re. keyboard configuration); - default "keyboard architecture" autodetected (with values for PS/2 (AT), USB-MAC, Sun (for the sparc arch, ...); This means, for 2.4 kernels, console-tools/archs may also need to be set. This does not need to be documented in detail, but does should IMO be touched upon. Also, "console-keymaps-at/keymap=..." will only work if the default architecture detected is PS/2; for other architectures other templates need to be set (console-keymaps-<arch>/keymap=...). For 2.6 kernels this becomes a lot simpler: all keyboards should be configured as PS/2 (i.e. "at"). So, hope this gives you some extra background (and some of the reasons why maybe it is under-documented currently) :-/ Conclusion. An extra section to explain this in appendix C would be welcome, but to keep it concise and still cover kbd configuration properly will be a challenge. I guess only covering "console-keymaps-at" with a well-worded explanation of limitations would also be acceptable (especially as that should always work for 2.6). Oh yes, what also needs to be covered is that for the Etch installer it _is_ possible to preseed these values if a initrd preseed file is used.

Malaysia's MDG 2010 report underlines growing inequalities despite national progress
PUTRAJAYA, 28 April 2011 – The Economic Planning Unit (EPU) together with the United Nations (UN) jointly unveiled the Malaysia: Millennium Development Goals at 2010 report today at an event officiated by the Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department YB Dato' S.K Devamany. He was joined by UN Resident Coordinator to Malaysia, Mr. Kamal Malhotra and EPU Director General Dato' Noriyah binti Ahmad.
According to Mr. Malhotra, the Report highlights Malaysia's impressive achievements, in aggregate terms, towards the MDGs, including in poverty eradication, universal primary education and child survival. Mr. Malhotra however cautioned the need to address disparities and inequalities that are accompanying Malaysia's progress towards the MDGs.
"There are some persistent areas of concern and new issues which have emerged which are now urgent in view of Malaysia's ambitions to promote inclusive development and become a high-income, developed nation by 2020," said Mr. Malhotra. "The MDGs on which Malaysia needs to make accelerated national level progress at this stage include maternal mortality, universal access to reproductive health, the share of women in managerial positions and political representation, HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis."
Disaggregated assessment
Prepared by the UN in Malaysia in close cooperation with the EPU, the Report for the first time assesses both progress at the national levels as well as by state, rural-urban location, gender, age, ethnicity, disability and other disaggregated categories.
The collaborative effort involving various ministries and UN agencies in the country sought to identify inequalities in income, education and health to ensure more targeted interventions for vulnerable, marginalised and hard-to-reach populations in the country.
Amongst others, the Report seeks to identify regions and sub-national population groups which have been left behind or left out as well as emerging issues that have become important as a consequence of Malaysia's chosen development path. This Review also will help the Government with its commitment to the MDG-Plus agenda through the Tenth Malaysia Plan which has allocated 30 per cent of the five year development agenda to the social sector.
Pockets of inequalities
On behalf of the MDG Study Team Leader, UN Malaysia Coordination Specialist Dr. Lin Mui Kiang presented the key findings from the Report:
§ Malaysia has achieved the aggregate MDG objective of halving poverty by achieving an impressive reduction of people living on less than $1/day, from 17% in 1990 to below 4% in 2009 . Nevertheless, for example, Sabah is not on track. The poverty level in rural Sabah which is over 30%, having increased over the last couple of years, is of particular concern.
§ School attendance in Primary Education has increased rapidly for both boys and girls and is now above 95%. However, certain indigenous groups and children living in remote areas are still lagging behind and a percentage figure on of attendance does not say anything about the quality of education which can differ vastly between schools and geographical areas. Drop-out rates at secondary level are also significantly higher in rural than urban schools.
§ While Malaysia has done very well in achieving virtual gender parity in access to education, women's participation in the job market has stagnated at around 45 - 50%, women earn almost 30% less than men and women remain grossly under represented in Parliament. This is the same picture as could be seen 10 years ago.
§ Malaysia has done well compared to other developing nations on reducing maternal mortality, but the decrease from 44 per 100,000 live births in 1990 plateaued at around 28 per 100.000 live births almost a decade ago and has not changed since. Compared to the group of developed countries that Malaysia aspires to join, this is still high. In OECD countries the figure is around 6 per 100,000.
§ The spread of HIV in Malaysia has been halted and the number of reported cases has gone down from a peak in 2002 of almost 7.000 cases to 3.000 in 2009. Still, the proportion of women infected by HIV has almost doubled, from 9.4% in 2000, to 18% in 2009.
Inclusive development
Academic views about the Report were also shared by a three-person expert panel comprising YM Professor Dr. Tengku Aizan Hamid, Datuk Dr. Denison Jayasooria and Professor Dr. Ragayah Haji Mat Zin and moderated by UNICEF Representative to Malaysia, Mr. Hans Olsen.
In keeping with the spirit and intent of the MDGs to promote equitable and inclusive development, and to localise the goals, making them relevant to country-specific realities, circumstances and aspirations, Mr. Malhotra urged the Government and people of Malaysia to use the Report as a guide to tackle the inequalities and address the challenges highlighted.
"I hope that this report will be a source of inspiration as well as provide the practical guidance needed for Malaysia to meet its remaining developmental challenges and attain both full MDG achievement as soon as possible and Vision 2020," added Mr. Malhotra.

The new album's release date has been the subject of huge waves of speculation over recent months, but an announcement was finally made during the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night.
Eminem fans will be buzzing with excitement following Sunday night's announcement. Details of the rapper's eighth solo album was made during a brief commercial for Beats by Dre, which took place during the MTV VMAs 2013.
The commercial also gave a preview from the new album, revealing a track playing with the lyrics, "Let's take it back to straight hip-hop and start it from scratch/ I'm about to bloody this track up, everybody get back/ That's why my pen needs a pad because my rhymes' on the rag."
As the song played, text flashed across the screen confirming the name of the new album as well as the release date for November 5, 2013.
The MTV VMAs 2013 took place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on Sunday night, and prior to the event kicking off Eminem dropped a big hint about his new album.
The rapper took to Instagram to post a photo of the show's logo and a caption that read, "Guess who's REALLY back? #VMAs."
One track has already been released from the new Marshal Mathers LP 2 album. The song is entitled "Survival," and that also was featured on a commercial, but this time for the upcoming game "Call of Duty: Ghosts."
"Survival" features vocals from singer Skylar Grey, who Eminem has collaborated with on the Dr. Dre song "I Need a Doctor."
The confirmation of the release date finally puts to bed rumors that have been circulating for months about the eagerly anticipated album.
Previously Paul Rosenberg, president of Shady Records, had said, "He's been working on it for some time. It's safe to say that it will be post-Memorial Day at some point, but we're not exactly sure when. We've got some dates locked in for him to perform live in Europe in August, so we're trying to see what else lines up."

Own three...would recommend
Your review: I now own three of these. Have 3 large guys in my sales department that were going through chairs like nobody's business. These have held up very well. Did have an issue with one but the replacement part was sent under warranty and that fixed it. Good chair and great service after the sale. Would recommend.

Native son Jim Richardson has been creating an intimate portrait of this Great Plains town for 30 years—and counting.

Time can take a toll on small, out-of-the-way towns like Cuba. Long ago trim, freshly painted houses lined the streets. Farmers had money in their pockets and spent it in the town's stores. Two railroads brought trains to town, and on Saturday night the place was hopping. Even Lawrence Welk and his band came here. Today hardly anybody finds his way to Cuba. The trains are gone, many of the old houses are vacant, and farmers are scarce, victims of drought and low prices.
Most casual visitors will swear time has stopped dead, that the only thing growing faster than the wheat is boredom. They're wrong, just as I was when I first came barreling into town. One summer day I found Betty Klaumann taking delight in her geese (they shouldn't have trusted her; she ate them every year). The sight of a farmwife waltzing with her geese reset my mental clock to another era. Since that moment I have relished the rhythms of Cuba. When a baseball game was rained out, people stayed and watched the storm. When the weather turned bad, farmers crowded into the Lazy B Bar. When business was slow, barber Charles "Andy" Andrews talked on his ham radio till the next haircut showed up. Yes, there is a sameness to many days, but that sameness becomes ritual, which makes each day part of a satisfying whole.

Cuba, Kansas, moved not once but twice before settling into its present location. Homesteaders first came to the area in 1866; others quickly followed. They built a school—a log cabin with a dirt floor and sod roof—and picked the name Cuba, chosen—it's said—after a visitor who had traveled to the Caribbean shared stories of the islanders' fight for freedom from Spain. In the early 1870s town leaders decided that Cuba needed a new school and a better location. They built the second school near the first but moved the town two miles (three kilometers) west. To their dismay, in 1884 the Burlington and Missouri Railroad ran a line a few miles south of Cuba. So the town moved again. Today the trains are gone, but the town remains.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Stupid Cancer, New York, NY, USA
I have volunteered for I2Y for over a year and helped organize several happy hours. Those events are such a great way for young adult survivors to meet with others who have had similar experiences. Once we planned a happy hour to coincide with an out of town I2yer's visit for his yearly check up at MD Anderson. I think he was happy to get out of the hotel room and just relax with folks his own age. He even got a job lead from another young survivor. That's what I2Y is really all about for me: survivors connecting with other survivors.
More Feedback
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
finally move the needle on the survival rate of young adult cancer patients. It hasn't changed in 25 years, but with awareness and advocacy I think I2Y could help change that.
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

OUT OF THE OUTBACK: General Motors Co. will stop making cars and engines in Australia by the end of 2017, with nearly 2,900 jobs to be lost, because of high production costs and competition.
KANGAROO ALERT: The decision could spell the end of car manufacturing in Australia as the industry will be too small for supporting businesses such as parts makers to remain economically viable. Toyota Motor Corp. announced it is reassessing its future in Australia. A union said 50,000 jobs in the auto industry are in jeopardy.
UPHILL FIGHT: The Australian government has been under pressure to offer increased subsidies to Detroit's GM to keep it manufacturing in Australia for the sake of its auto parts industry. CEO Dan Akerson described Australia as "arguably the most competitive and fragmented auto market in the world," and also cited the sustained strength of the Australian dollar, high costs of production and a small population.

A word to heal the hearts of humankind
December 20, 2012 in Preparedness
From Sura Yunus:
10:21 When We make mankind taste of some mercy after adversity hath touched them, behold! they take to plotting against Our Signs! Say: "Swifter to plan is Allah!" Verily, Our messengers record all the plots that ye make!
10:22 He it is Who enableth you to traverse through land and sea; so that ye even board ships;- they sail with them with a favourable wind, and they rejoice thereat; then comes a stormy wind and the waves come to them from all sides, and they think they are being overwhelmed: they cry unto Allah, sincerely offering (their) duty unto Him saying, "If thou dost deliver us from this, we shall truly show our gratitude!"
10:23 But when he delivereth them, behold! they transgress insolently through the earth in defiance of right! O mankind! your insolence is against your own souls,- an enjoyment of the life of the present: in the end, to Us is your return, and We shall show you the truth of all that ye did.
10:24 The likeness of the life of the present is as the rain which We send down from the skies: by its mingling arises the produce of the earth- which provides food for men and animals: (It grows) till the earth is clad with its golden ornaments and is decked out (in beauty): the people to whom it belongs think they have all powers of disposal over it: There reaches it Our command by night or by day, and We make it like a harvest clean-mown, as if it had not flourished only the day before! thus do We explain the Signs in detail for those who reflect.
10:25 But Allah doth call to the Home of Peace: He doth guide whom He pleaseth to a way that is straight.
10:26 To those who do right is a goodly (reward)- Yea, more (than in measure)! No darkness nor shame shall cover their faces! they are companions of the garden; they will abide therein (for aye)!
10:27 But those who have earned evil will have a reward of like evil: ignominy will cover their (faces): No defender will they have from (the wrath of) Allah: Their faces will be covered, as it were, with pieces from the depth of the darkness of night: they are companions of the Fire: they will abide therein (for aye)!
10:28 One day shall We gather them all together. Then shall We say to those who joined gods (with Us): "To your place! ye and those ye joined as 'partners' We shall separate them, and their "Partners" shall say: "It was not us that ye worshipped!
10:29 "Enough is Allah for a witness between us and you: we certainly knew nothing of your worship of us!"
10:30 There will every soul prove (the fruits of) the deeds it sent before: they will be brought back to Allah their rightful Lord, and their invented falsehoods will leave them in the lurch.

Provides: Imagine viewing, editing and resizing
Developer: Takeshi Ogihara
Minimum Requirements: OS X v10.6.6
Price: Free
Availability: Out Now
I don't know whether I could say it's my favorite OS X app, or even my favorite image editing app, but ToyViewer is a superb lightweight image editor/resizer that I use more than any other graphics program, and that I really wouldn't want to be without, especially during the holiday season when one is usually dealing with more image oriented tasks than usual. And did I mention that it's a free download from the Mac App Store?
ToyViewer also has a polished and professional-looking user interface that puts many a commercial software application UI to shame.
ToyViewer is basically a quick and nimble image viewer, but is much more than a slideshow app. It's the slickest image resizer and format converter I've ever used on any platform, and also supports various basic image editing and correction functions.
Quick startups are another delightful Toyviewer attribute.
ToyViewer can display many kinds of image formats, and can save in some formats. Image files in a folder or a ZIP archive can be displayed one by one in full-screen. With ToyViewer installed in your Mac, you can read and display image files in tiff, jpg, pdf, png, gif, bmp, pict, JPEG2000(jp2, jpc, j2k), and eps formats. ToyViewer can also deal with svg, jbig(bie), pcx, pcd, pnm(ppm, pbm, pgm), xbm, mag, and SUN Rasterfile formats, and can display Photoshop psd files. You can set ToyViewer to display any image format if there is a filter program to ppm format. Sujpported save formats include: tiff, pdf, gif, bmp, png, jpg, JPEG2000, jbig, pnm, and xbm. Vector images such as PDF can be converted into bitmap images such as jpg or tiff.
ToyViewer can display image files in a folder sequentially in full-screen mode. You can also mark images to move, or to delete them. ToyViewer can also display image files in zipped archives one by one in full-screen and retrieve marked images individually from the archive, as well as display them full-screen in front of all other windows, or convert an image into the Desktop picture for your Mac. The program supports a simple animation player for animated GIFs and TIFF Stacks, with each frame of these formats and of PDF files viewable as a single image. A floating PDF control palette supports navigation of multi-page PDFs.
ToyViewer isn't represented as being a challenger to full-fledged image editing applications (for example, it doesn't support cut and paste image modification), but you can select and copy, crop, rotate, and flip, images, enlarge or shrink images, adjust brightness, contrast, and color tone, replace a specified color with another color or transparent color, apply effects like blur, mosaic, embossment, and so on.
ToyViewer can display images in full-screen and in front of all other windows. If you like a displayed image, you can make it the Desktop picture (wallpaper) of your Mac.
You can make Aqua-button-like images, poster-like images, and more.
When the "Auto Fix" button is clicked, ToyViewer examines the overall balance of the image, and sets the adjustment sliders at its best-guess combination for the values of brightness, contrast, and gamma. Clicking "Brightness" button, you can preview any changes. However, if the-newly displayed version doesn't provide the result desired, you can adjust the sliders manually and preview each change until it does. You can also tune color tone (saturation and hue) of images. If you click "Effect / Enhance Color Tone…" in the menu, a panel is displayed, on which you can set the degree of enhancement. Large values of "Saturation" make images brilliant and vice versa for subdued. You can also control the hue of images. This operation cannot be applied to vector images (e.g. PDF), however. Full color images can be reduced into 256, 64, or 8 colors. Also, each color value of images can be cut down to 4, 2, or 1 bit. ToyViewer can make images monochrome (8bit gray, 2bit gray, or bilevel).
To resize an image, select "Resize" from the Tool Panel palette's pull-down menu, Then drag the slider to the desired percentage which reads in the field on the right, along with the new resolution in pixels and the aspect ratio. Choose Bitmap, Vector, or just let the program Auto-Select, and hit the OK button. A new window will appear with your resized image, which you can save in supported image formats.
It takes a lot longer to explain than it does to do, and it's the slickest, fastest tool for resizing I've yet encountered, with its lively responsiveness and virtually instantaneous startup. Indeed, I find that for about 80% of the stuff I do with images, Toyviewer is the fastest, most user-friendly tool I have on my hard drive. Even if I have Photoshop Elements or Pixelmator up and running, I find ToyViewer indispensable for quick, slick image viewing and basic editing, resizing, and file format conversions.
ToyViewer can attach a custom icon to any file as well as the newly saved image file. Images can be printed, automatically shrunk to be printed on a sheet, or divided into several pages. But Toyviewer isn't a perfect image editing solution; it can't create new images from scratch, and you can't cut, erase, or otherwise structurally change the content of a file.
However, within its limitations, I'm happy to give Toyviewer a 5 out of 5 rating, with the qualifier that there's always room for improvement.

Sequential vaccinations might provide "universal"-like flu protection
July 15, 2013
Posted by:
Each year, seasonal influenza kills tens of thousands in the U.S. and around the world. While an annual vaccine is available, a number of research teams have sought to create a "universal" vaccine, one that provides lasting immunity to multiple strains of the flu through a single shot or regiment. Now, researchers at The Wistar Institute believe they might have an alternate approach to creating a universal flu vaccine.
"Influenza vaccines are very safe and provide good protection. However, we need to continuously update seasonal flu vaccines because influenza viral proteins change over time," said Scott Hensley, Ph.D., an assistant professor at The Wistar Institute and corresponding author on the study. "Since influenza viruses are constantly changing, we all have unique pre-exposure histories that depend on when we were born and the specific types of viruses that circulated during our childhood."
Vaccines work by stimulating the immune system to produce antibody proteins against particles (called antigens) from an infectious agent, such as bacteria or a virus. The immune system saves the cells that produce effective antibodies, which then provide immunity against future attacks by the same or similar infectious agents. Despite the availability of a vaccine, seasonal influenza typically kills 36,000 Americans, alone, and nearly a half million individuals around the world, in total.
Most current efforts to create universal vaccines hinge on the idea of generating antibodies against a portion of the virus that is relatively unchanged year-to-year.
"Our studies demonstrate that individuals that are infected sequentially with dramatically different influenza strains mount antibody responses against a conserved region of influenza virus," Hensley said. "Since we now know that pre-exposure events can influence vaccine responsiveness in a predictable way, we can begin to design vaccine regiments that preferentially elicit antibody responses against conserved regions of influenza virus."
According to Hensley, one strategy would be to sequentially vaccinate children with antigenically distinct viral strains. "Babies are born with an immunological blank slate," Hensley said. "We may be able to strategically vaccinate our children with antigenically diverse influenza strains to elicit antibodies against conserved viral epitopes."

The ever after, the demonic realm that parallels the human world, is shrinking. If it disappears completely, so does all magic. It's up to witch turned day-walking demon Rachel Morgan to avert catastrophe and keep life from changing--for the worse. While saving the world is important, it isn't Rachel's only motivation. There's also the small fact that she caused the ley line to rip in the first place, setting off a chain reaction of unfortunate events. That little mistake has made her life forfeit unless she can fix it. It's also made her more than a few enemies, including the most powerful demon in the ever after--a terrifying entity who eats souls and now has an insatiable appetite for her. He's already kidnapped her friend and goddaughter to lure her out, and if Rachel doesn't give herself up soon, they'll die.

This one is thick and dense, and I'm able to keep adding water to the same bag a couple of times (though generally I avoid this with most other teas). It's dark and rich, not quite perfect for everyday, but once in a while, it's a delight.

The Curse of the One Run Game
July 31, 2013
I love sports. I love how logical people believe sitting in a certain chair or wearing certain clothes will help their team win. I love the belief by fans that the reason their team (or in some cases, the city (Cleveland) is cursed is because of a billy goat or player trade. This brings me to my husband. He is originally from Wisconsin and wears the cheesehead proudly for the Packers and Brewers. However, it has been unscientifically proven that if he or a family member attends a game at Kauffman Stadium rooting for the visiting team, that team loses by one run.
Last year, the Brewers played in Kansas City, and my husband attended all three games. The Brewers lost all three games by one run. In July, his cousin from Michigan attended the first two games of the Tigers/Royals series, and the Tigers lost both of those games by one run.
The curse extends across the parking lot to Arrowhead Stadium. We were in attendance for the Dec. 18, 2011 game that ended the Packers undefeated season. In the five years he has lived in Kansas City, he has never attended a game where either of his favorite teams won in Kansas City, and that includes a football preseason game!
Of course, the curse is not real, and neither are the curses detailed in the suggested books. But they are part of our sports culture, and without curses and superstition, sports would not be as much fun.

CHICAGO, Feb. 7 — Toyota has hardly needed to do anything to sell its hybrid-electric Prius, which always had more buyers than Toyota had cars, but sales have flattened just as the carmaker is able to produce more Priuses.
So, in April, Toyota will begin its first national advertising campaign for Prius since it began selling the hybrid in the United States in 2000. Ads will begin appearing in local markets before then.
Toyota has also started offering the first incentives on the Prius, including some no-interest financing, and lease deals of as little as $219 a month.
The moves by Toyota come amid flat sales last year for Prius, whose first six years in the American market were a carmaker's dream. Dealers had waiting lists of as long as a year for Prius, which runs on a combination of an electric motor and a gasoline engine. Buyers routinely paid several thousand dollars more than the $22,175 sticker price.
Last October, after gasoline prices spiked above $3 a gallon, Toyota had only a three-hour inventory of Prius cars, said James D. Farley, Toyota vice president for North American marketing. It sold 106,971 Prius cars in the United States last year, out of about 280,000 Prius cars sold worldwide.Continue reading the main story
But as gas prices dropped, Prius inventories climbed to a 30-day supply in January. The situation is of particular concern now that Toyota can build more Priuses, which had been produced in limited numbers in Japan. Speaking at the Chicago Auto Show, Mr. Farley said Toyota might be able to get as many as 170,000 Priuses to sell in the United States this year, a potential increase of 70 percent.
But to reach that level, Toyota needs to do more to generate demand. "This is the challenge that keeps me up at night about Prius," Mr. Farley said.
Larry Burns, General Motors vice president for research and development and strategic planning, said he understood Mr. Farley's concern. "At the end of the day, you have to have a technology that excites the customer, and you have to have the volume," Mr. Burns said in an interview here.
Toyota has chosen a two-pronged approach that focuses on advertising and dealer training, Mr. Farley said.
The company has been frustrated by customers who say they are interested in the Prius, but back away from buying at the last minute. Some buyers are confused about its hybrid technology, he said, while others fear that its battery might run dry and leave them stranded.
Still others worry that they will not save enough on gasoline purchases to make a Prius worthwhile.
That may be an even bigger worry by the end of the year, when new government fuel economy ratings will be published. The Environmental Protection Agency's mileage ratings for all cars have been recalculated to reflect a variety of driving conditions. Ratings on many vehicles are set to fall by about 10 to 25 percent, while those for hybrid electric vehicles will drop most, by about 30 percent.
The fuel economy of the Prius, now rated at about 60 miles per gallon in city driving, will fall into the range of the mid-40 miles per gallon.
Toyota also wants to combat buyers' perceptions that Priuses are hard to get. "Customers have told us: I didn't know I could get my color. I thought I might have to wait three months for it," Mr. Farley said.
He said Toyota, for all its concerns about the Prius, did not fear losing buyers to a competitor. Sixty percent of Prius shoppers say they have no second choice, Mr. Farley said.Continue reading the main story

Some of the ISP's cannot cut their prices any more, if they keep offering 'Year Half Price' or 'Month's Free' on their present marketing procedures :O)
But going back to the original subject, Ofcom have been 'toothing' this matter for months, and it would finally appear that they have come up with a offer of their own. Perhaps a 'to little to late' offer at that?.
What I have never been able to understand, is how a company (BT) can own all the exchanges and infrastructure, that is being leased to independent ISP companies, who the independent's are then able to offer prices below that what BT can perhaps offer?.

Garbled Prompt with oh_my_zsh?
I am getting a garbled prompt when using oh_my_zsh; same with bash_it (prompt is garbled in a different way). I suspect that these shell scripts expect too much bling which the default terminal font is unable to deliver. I am using it mainly from the CLI and am generally happy with the terminal font when used for my main purpose, CLI programming in C (emacs is my editor if it matters), so I am not sure I really want to change it. Interestingly terminal within xfce seems to continue displaying a plain bash (or zsh) prompt with monochrome ls output (root gets color!??)
Have used oh_my_zsh on other systems and have generally been happy with it, though I hate it's auto-correction feature and generally turn it off.
My usual shell is zsh and really want just three things from my prompt:
1. Current path.
2. Git status and branch.
3. Color output from ls.
The rest is just bling and often irritating.
By using these shell scripts I am paying too much in cpu cycles for what I want.
Any suggestions, either with using these scripts or as a separate shell script. I am OK with either zsh or bash.
Unless you're really clever with the environment variables that supply the prompt components (like PS1 and PS2 etc in BASH), you won't be able to get the git status and branch shown in there.
I'd recommend sticking with oh-my-zsh for that reason, and within it, you should be able to achieve your #1 and #3 as well.
#1. According to https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh, it's configured just like ZSH, using a ~/.zshrc and a .zsh file within the oh-my-zsh config and you should be able to manipulate the prompt strings to show the current path, truncated or otherwise.
#2. use the extensions configuration from oh-my-zsh
#3. this is typically done using shell aliases - look up the ZSH way at http://zsh.sourceforge.net/ you would link the shell command 'ls' to the same thing with the options you want, like single column, append characters indicating links or directories, etc.

" Type: Fish & Seafood / Address: Marnixplaats 12 / 2000 Antwerpen / Belgium / Tel: 03 257 13 57 "
Apparently Antwerp is a wild place to be on a Wednesday night. The trainee who works for me is currently on secondment to our office just outside the city so I asked if she'd like to have dinner with me when I flew over last month. She explained that the city has a really big 'after work' party every Wednesday which shocked me - after all, it's not exactly the weekend and partying on a 'school night' just doesn't seem very Belgian. Another factor to consider when eating out in Antwerp is that despite the recession, there are a lot of people with a lot of money (many of them ex-pats on good expense accounts) and restaurants still get busy throughout the week.
As a consequence of the Wednesday Night Fever our journey into the city was a bit of a drag and finding a parking space on the large cobbled square was like looking for a needle in a haystack. After we eventually gave up and parked illegally on the end of a row, we were relieved to get out of the car and head in search of food. The restaurant Marianne had chosen was recommended by a colleague who eats out just about every night of the year and she'd recommended it because she knew I am a fishitarian.
~First, find your fish~
Fiskebar is on Marnixplaats in Zuid Antwerp which Wikipedia reassures me is 'a currently fashionable area'. Marnixplaats has a whopping big statue as a memorial to someone or something but sadly Wikipedia doesn't stretch to an explanation of who or what although a bit more research revealed that the chap on the statue is Neptune. I think we can assume a nautical theme - and of course where better for a fish restaurant to be located?
Getting in involved a brief tussle with the semicircular curtain that hangs just inside the door. I think it was Morecombe and Wise who used to regularly battle with their stage curtains and I suspect the diners on the other side must have wondered what was going on. When we eventually burst through into the restaurant we found a small but busy dining room which was almost full even though it was barely 7.30 pm. To one side of the restaurant a refrigerated display counter was piled high with fish of many shapes and sizes with two enormous giant crab legs at the back. Beside was the counter which served as a combination of bar, eating area for those not lucky enough to get a table and consigned to perch on high stools, and the dividing area between the kitchen and the dining area. We gave the name we'd booked in and were told our table was upstairs.
~A Sinking Feeling~
Following the instructions, we found ourselves almost in the toilets before diverting down a corridor full of bicycles and up the slightly rickety wooden stairs. The upstairs room was very small and filled with tightly spaced tiny tables. Despite having a booking we were sent to a funny little table standing like a little island abandoned in the middle of the space. It felt a bit vulnerable, a feeling that wasn't helped when I spotted a framed picture of the Titanic on the wall though I later put my glasses on and realised it was actually the Queen Mary and with a jolly decent glass of Sancerre inside me the sense of doom and disaster had already passed me by.
The floors were stripped wood, the tables were sparsely decorated and rather crowded (a couple of glasses per person, some crockery, a cruet and an oversized candle and there's not a lot of space to spare). The menu is written on chalkboards on the long wall of the room and is entirely in Flemish. As luck would have it, I'm a bit of a whiz when it comes to Flemish fish names (a potential Mastermind 'special subject' perhaps) and I really didn't struggle to work out what was what. The list of ten or so starters included fish soup with rouille, prawn croquettes, mussels, squid etc. The next panel listed a long selection of fish types but with no indication of how they'd be cooked or what they'd be served with. The next panel was dedicated to oysters and Fruits de Mer platters of various sizes and complexity, and the final board offered full dishes describing how each was cooked and what it came with. Absolutely everything on the menu was fish or sea food without exception.
~Order Order!~
I ordered a glass of Sancerre and Marianne took a glass of Merlot and I went to work on a large bottle of Perrier. The waiter took our orders and brought a small basket of baguette slices and a dish of extremely strong garlic butter. The bread appeared to have been sprinkled with rock salt which is just the sort of thing that would keep the folks at the UK's Food Standards Agency lying awake in their beds crying.After about ten minutes our starters arrived. We'd both opted for mussels because they really are a local speciality. Belgium might be the laughing stock of Europe for their lack of famous people, their Eurocrat political 'stuff' and for being home to some of the most notorious paedophiles of the 20th Century but they do get their priorities right when it comes to food. Chocolate, beer, fries and mussels; could there truly be a more distinguished quartet of culinary delights?
~The Mussels from Brussels (or in this case Antwerp)~
It's quite easy to go wrong with mussels and despite my determination to always hunt them down in Antwerp, I've had some really bad ones with some very questionable sauces. No problems at Fiskebar; the quantity was perfect (often you get too few or far too large a quantity), I had only one 'dud' in my bowl, each was plump and juicy and cooked to perfection and the sauce was light in texture and bursting with the taste of garlic, shallots and a hint of white wine. The small table proved to be a bit of a challenge since we needed a plate for the empties and in order to fit it on the table, the waiter moved the candle rather too close to me so that I was forced to reach round it each time to drop my shells in the bowl. The waiter popped back each time the mountain of shells threatened to get unstable and brought us spoons when we got down to the rich juicy sauce at the bottom of our bowls.
Marianne had ordered a 'mixed grill' for her main course whilst I'd chosen scallops with mushroom risotto and parmesan sauce. The mixed grill was enormous and easily enough for two people. On one corner of the plate was a heap of giant shell-on prawns. The next corner was home to three substantial fillets of fish - one an unidentified white fish, the second salmon and the third was tuna. The rest of the plate was heaped with dressed salad and mound of cooked in their skin roast potatoes.
By contrast my dish was rather more modest. There were just five scallops, one placed in each corner of the plate and the final one sitting on a square of mushroom risotto. The plate was decorated with swirls and drizzles of olive oil, balsamic vinegar and a foam that should have tasted of parmesan but didn't. It was pretty but the quantity was a bit on the mean side especially when contrasted with the mountain of food on my colleague's plate. The scallops were perfect, firm and juicy and they cut cleanly under my knife. Personally I prefer my scallops with the orange roe still attached but that seems to be hard to find in restaurants. The mushroom risotto was almost as good as the one I make at home (yes, that's blowing my own trumpet but I'm proud of my risotto) but the portion was very small. I also had a chunk of Marianne's tuna which was not as rare as I like but still very tasty and not at all metallic in aftertaste.
With my wine finished I asked what beer the restaurant had, expecting that any Belgian restaurant would have a great selection. I was shocked that the choice was Carlsberg or.....well actually, there was no or. Carlsberg - take it or leave it. So I took it.
Marianne ploughed on with her grill but it was clear that there was no way she'd ever get through it all. She called it a day and the waiter didn't seem surprised when we said that we'd pass on dessert. I asked for a peppermint tea and Marianne asked for 'normal' tea which turned out to be a bit ambitious. My tea arrived with a large glass of hot (but not quite hot enough) water, a bag of peppermint tea (I think) arranged on a stick and the glass filled with fresh mint. Marianne's tea bag was similarly arranged on a stick and we both set about trying to coax some flavour out of our bags. It's typical in Belgian for tea to be beautifully presented but almost undrinkable due to the 'not quite hot enough' water situation - a classic case of too much style and not enough substance.
The waiter brought our bill and told us we'd need to pay downstairs. The total for the two of us came to Euro 67 which must be round about the £60 mark at the current exchange rates. I thought this was about right for what we'd had and the quality of the food. I paid on my credit card, received both a printed and a hand written receipt and then we headed off to fight with the curtains and out through the door. Despite the slightly mean main course, I couldn't fault the quality or presentation of the food and I'd certainly consider a second visit.

Mourinho certain of third UCL title
Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho is certain it is only a matter of time before he lifts his third Champions League title.
Mourinho first won Europe's most coveted prize in 2004 with Porto before again claiming glory with Inter Milan in 2010.
Real, despite their disappointing showing in La Liga this season, are considered strong favourites to secure the Champions League trophy during the current campaign.
And Mourinho, whose side meet Manchester United in the last 16, is confident he is destined to make it three European Cup successes in his career.
"I shall win the cup again, I don't know whether with Real Madrid this year, as everything is very even, but my third Champions League will come," he told Italian television station Rai.
"What I can't say is that I shall get it this season, but in the 15 or 20 years I have remaining as a manager, I shall get it."
Mourinho was also asked about his former managerial rival Pep Guardiola, who is to take over at Bayern Munich in the summer following a year-long sabbatical after leaving Barcelona at the end of last season.
The Portuguese was reluctant, though, to enter into another psychological battle with the Spaniard, instead reiterating they will unlikely lock horns domestically as he has no plans to manage in Germany.
"Has he deliberately chosen a league I am not involved in? I don't know," Mourinho said. "It is his choice. What is certain is that I will not manage in Germany. I make no comments, it is all the same to me."

âWhatever the nature of schooling â homeschool, private school, Catholic school â we do not tolerate disrespect for differences,â Donna McColl, Lukaszukâs assistant director of communications, told LifeSiteNews on Wednesday evening.

I told her that the teacher said nothing about having to write anything positive about it either.
Apparently she had the option of not doing the assignment if she so wished. My reaction was that she should do it to demonstrate that it was possible to state "just the facts ma'am". I felt that it would be a useful exercise in writing factual reports given the field of study she will be taking later on.
Anyhow she did the assignment and scored a very high mark on it. So it is possible to meet the assessment criteria without supporting or denigrating the views of others when doing assignments on homosexuality.
That may be a bit harder if part of the assessment involves value judgements on the subject but in this case it did not.
I was trying to be ironic. I am sorry if I was confusing.
We had no right to steal and enslave the blacks, that was a high crime.
But true as well is that a "higher light" than scripture was needed to fuel the so-called civil rights movement.
What I saw was a opportunity to point this out when the person "Don't Lie" made the connection and tried to apply the need for a "higher light" than scripture to "free" the sodomites.
What I see is that by buying into the civil rights movement, Christians have opened up the door for this kind of argument.
Civil Rights is a sacred cow, one that is going to usher in a world of hurt very soon. Sodomites are tiring to play this card, and if they succeed, persecution will follow. I think it is time to challenge these ideas and think more Biblicaly on the subject.
Civil Rights is more about Communism than the rights of people. It is about government control.

The authorities might have hard time stopping the reading the Bible at home, which states:

Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God.11 And such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.---NASB

your car is a more powerful weapon than your handgun. I'd only consider my gun when I can't drive.
E.g. fall back with your front axle to the height of his rear axle and then give his car a little tip with your's and off he spins. Couldn't do that with my Glocks.

If you drove the way you did in Orlando? Moving over twice to allow people to move in to your lane?
The Police would escort you to the border, which ever border! The Ocean?
Check your license to see where you received it from? Cornflake Box?
etc;etc The favorite lane movement here? See your exit ahead? lots of room on your right? Indicate! Gap gone! Everybody closes ranks, then they drive an inch off the guys bumper in front! Everybody!
You want to have some fun? indicate when you do not want that space!

Interesting thread.....I ride a motorcycle a lot. Not one of them big noisy Harley, or fat cruising bikes, but either a crotch rocket (Aprilia Falco) or one of my Dual Sport bikes...I also carry. (Usually my Kimber Ultra).
When I was in SoCal lane splitting was just the normal way off life, and most drivers understood it was legal (and IMO the safest way to ride a bike). However when I move to soggy Washington last year, what a bunch of temperamental drivers. Even the slow Harley riders have an attitude that they want to slow and block as much traffic as possible. I think drivers training teaches to never move to the right lane.
I have been riding bikes on the road, track, and desert for over 50 years, (yeah I'm a really old guy), and nothing much intimidates me. I have had people that just scream and yell at me because I change lanes and accelerate right by them in a second. (They were thinking about it, but no signal yet if ever). Probably because of my age (you know when you get this old you are just cantankerous by nature) I sometime throw a little napalm on the situation. , but having the skills and performance allows me to have the confidence I can accelerate out of any situation.
Never once have I even given a thought to reaching for a weapon while riding. Twice I have called 911 when people were trying to steal a race bike off a trailer in a motel. I then stepped outside with my weapon and put the people on the ground until the police arrived. (I have a vibration monitor that alerts me in my room if the bike is even touched.)
I guess I got an overdose of that competitive gene, because in these "road rage" situation, I do not get the least emotional. I am pretty much in my Zen mode, but will play with people that seem to get upset over nothing.

try MeetUp or start volunteering at a new place. That will allow you to meet people who don't necessarily want to date you.

Or, you are emailing back and forth through the OLD website and .....POOF
Or you email, call, go on a few dates and.....POOF
Or you meet a whack-a-doodle stalker/ax -murderer type and you can't get rid of him.
OLD is not the way to go.
Working on yourself is the way to go. Feeling comfortable with you whether you are alone or not is what you want to achieve.
You will also have the chance to learn to trust people without the romantic entanglement.

Nothing good can come of this.
Another example of bad advice, this one from my psychiatrist (saw her for MD's mostly, saw my IC for therapy). She knew I was agnostic but she told me I should join a church to meet men. Yes, I was advised to deceive the members of a church, pretend that I believe the same things they did, for the sole purpose to get a date. What the holy hell?
If you want to get out again, join a meet up group or a book club, or volunteer somewhere, or take a class in your favorite hobby. OLD is not for the feint of heart and is NOT the place to start socializing again.

I would sign up in your area.you can check out whose going to the meetups before you sign up foe a specific group. They have so many different groups based by interest. Check it out.
I think I would clarify your therapists suggestion. Sometimes mine has said something that took me by surprise. When I later asked, what she said was not what I heard.
Good luck

Sean Avery has had plenty of practice at being the most despised player in the NHL.
Six years ago, the Toronto Sun's Terry Koshan detailed how the North York native had become the scourge of the Ontario Hockey League with the Kingston Frontenacs.
"I take it as a compliment," Avery said at the time. "If I come out and run my mouth off or give a guy a cheap shot, they have to watch out because hopefully, I'm going to put up the points, too."
Little has changed with Avery, who was named the league's top agitator by both players and media in the Sun Poll and completed the unique hat trick as "biggest suck" as picked by the media.
The Los Angeles Kings forward had quite a year in 2005.
First, he claimed to have been "brainwashed" by union boss Bob Goodenow after the lockout. Then, he enraged foes with incendiary comments about French Canadians and use of visors. The league also investigated an alleged racial slur and twice fined him in relation to diving.
"Sometimes, with the things he says, you wonder if you want him on your team," Los Angeles coach Andy Murray said with a laugh last week.
"But in another category, he's one of the most improved players on our team. Two years ago, he couldn't play, even though he was talking about being part of a Stanley Cup when he was with Detroit."
"He has been a big help this year (28 points in 54 games entering play last night) and he's been very quiet lately."
Tie Domi, a hell-raiser as a younger man, has a soft spot for the 25-year-old Avery.
"He's a big pest and he has been a pest a long time," Domi said in December when the Maple Leafs and Kings clashed.
"There are not as many of them as before, so everyone's recognizing him a lot more. He does what he has to do."

US accuses China of cyber attacks
Chinese and Russian intelligence services and corporate hackers are using cyber attacks to steal hi-tech American research and development data, a US government report has said.
US officials have complained quietly for years about cyber attacks originating from China but this report offers the first such detailed public accusations from US officials.
According to the report the stolen information is helping to build their own economies and cyber attacks by foreign governments represent a "persistent threat to US economic security".
The report includes information from the 14 US spy agencies, as well as from academics and other experts.
It also said China and Russia will remain aggressive and capable collectors of sensitive US economic information and technologies.
