Revision as of 12:58, 17 February 2016
Welcome to Conservapedia!
Did someone in the government deliberately cause the deaths of LeVoy Finicum and, lately, Justice Antonin Scalia? If they did, releasing evidence afterward might have been a veiled threat to the people. [1]
"Trump: Obama's criticism is a 'compliment' ... 'This man has done such a bad job — he has set us back so far — for him to say that is actually a great compliment,'" Trump said. [2] Is Obama jealous of Trump?

Church of England criticized for its prayer for new atheist Richard Dawkins, who suffered a stroke. The Church of England replied that Dawkins himself criticized theaters for censoring a commercial having the Lord's Prayer. [7] See also: New Atheism leaders and unhealthy lifestyles
Maybe Alexander Hamilton had the right idea for nominating Presidents: have independent, uncommitted electors elect him. [8]
Fivethirtyeight -- the poll aggregator with the best track record -- predicts a Trump-Rubio-Cruz-Bush finish in the all-important South Carolina primary in six days, with Trump winning by a landslide. [9]
Beware the tendency to excuse evil as "mental illness," whether by an individual criminal or by an ideology like Islamism. [10]
Republican Senators to the lame duck, discredited Obama: don't even bother nominating anyone for the Supreme Court vacancy, because he's not going to be confirmed. The next president will replace Justice Antonin Scalia.
Who won the debate? Each Republican was strong on his own issues, particularly Marco Rubio. Trump may have slipped a bit, but finished strong.
GOP debate: early winners are Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush, while Donald Trump goes off the rails in blaming George W. Bush for 9-11.
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has immediately signaled that an Obama U.S Supreme Court nominee would not get a vote this year.[11]
Senator Mike Lee, a Republican member of the Judiciary Committee, tweeted that the chances are "less than zero" that the Senate would confirm a new justice nominated by Obama. Even before Scalia's death, the Senate's process for confirming lower-court nominees has ground to a near halt.
With great sadness we announce that Conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has left us for The Lord at age 79. [12] Reportedly he died of natural causes at the resort Cibolo Creek Ranch in West Texas.

Will Canada wean itself off of socialism and an economy too dependent on commodities? When will the Liberal Party's Justin Trudeau be replaced by a conservative?

Bernie Sanders wants you to think socialism is like manna from heaven. It's not. And Sander's attitude is ironical, since his apparent mentor, Karl Marx, called religion "the opiate of the masses." [19]
The Transportation Security Administration violates our civil liberties with impunity – and people smile at that! What did Benjamin Franklin tell us about liberty and safety? [20]
Give it up, liberal unions: Republicans just overrode the West Virginia Dem governor's veto, making it the 26th right-to-work state.

Demand for a Nobel Prize -- not for Obama this time -- but for a claim that a fleeting "chirp" in an experiment was caused by never-seen-before gravity waves from alleged black holes more than a billion light-years away. The Nobel committee properly rejected a similar demand in 1920 for Arthur Eddington's claim of proving General Relativity, but the committee is more liberal and less scientific today.

Those few people who actually watched the Super Bowl actually caught a commercial that provoked controversy – for a commercial message hinting at pro-life sympathy even where the company might never had intended it. [24]
Donald Trump carried the New Hampshire Republican Party primary. And by so doing he confirmed Conservapedia's own thesis: Professor values and other warped values from the university system lead one to embrace liberal politics. Which is why Trump led among those who had not had university education – or rather, university indoctrination. [25]
Conservapedia stumps new atheist Richard Dawkins and his fans on Twitter.[26]
Europeans are hoarding cash as fear about the economy grows, and the "hoarding is not limited to financially troubled countries." [27]

The young never learned the truth about socialism. And the Democratic Party are trying to keep them from learning it. [37]

Has Rush Limbaugh ceased to defend the Constitution? Is he now part of the "establishment"? [46]

Unplug the NFL: Super Bowl ratings have declined among the key 18-49 age group for four straight years, despite the liberal hype to get people to watch the game. [49] Overall, only a third of Americans watch the game. Donald Trump no longer watches football, but Jeb Bush plays fantasy football.

"Building blogs is like building muscles—in order for them to grow you need to use them."
I tweeted the above statement a few weeks back and it got so much traction I decided to create this video on the topic.
The idea for the video came out of the a Skype chat session I had with five readers who all worked through the 31 Days to Build a Better Blog workbook together. Their feedback was that they felt like they'd all signed up to the gym together and had just had a month of intense training. In each case, their blogs had grown (both in terms of content and traffic), and they'd come to the realization that daily blogging exercise was what had led to the results.

Hi. It's Darren from ProBlogger here. Today I want to talk about a principle of blogging that I think most people understand but many bloggers I come across don't actually do anything with that knowledge. And that is this: a blog is like a muscle, it only grows when you use it.
Most of us understand that to have a successful blog you need to actually blog. You need to actually create content. You need to do the activities of a blogger in the same way that if I want to grow my biceps I need to actually pick up something heavy and I need to exercise those biceps. If I'm just passive with them they won't grow at all.
So most of us understand that, but most of us also just let our blogs happen when we feel like blogging. Most bloggers I interact with? You ask them, you know, "what is your blog posting schedule like?" and they kind of look at you a little bit blankly. "Well it's kind of like when I sit down at my computer and I think maybe I should come up with something to write about". It's very impulsive, and it's not very strategic.
Now, using this exercise metaphor, I'm actually someone who doesn't exercise very well on an impulsive basis. I actually need to be a little bit strategic about it.
The times in my life where I've been the most fit and most healthy are the times in my life where I've actually put a plan in place to become fit and healthy. They're the times in my life where I've enrolled in a program of some type to exercise. They're the times in my life where I've enrolled in a gym and talked to a fitness instructor and got them to devise me a plan of the type of exercises that I need to do. They're the times in my life where I've talked to a dietician who's helped to put together a plan of foods that I should be eating at certain times of the day. They're the times where I've been intentional, and have actually done something and put something in place to help me to be fit and healthy are the times that I've actually been fit and healthy.
And the same is true with my blogs. I remember in the early days understanding this principle for the first time, and noticing that the more I posted, the more readers would come to my blog. The more I posted, the more people would leave comments on my blog. The more I would interact with my readers, the more they would interact with me. The more you use your blog, the more successful it becomes. And so when I began to notice this, I started to put some plans in place to help me to blog.
I remember the first time, about three months into my first blog, I developed an editorial calendar. I didn't call it that at the time—I had no idea what an editorial calendar was—but I got a spreadsheet out, and I put down the different days of the week, and the different activities that I would do on my blog. At that point I was posting on a daily basis, but I began to think, "Well, on Mondays I could ask a question. On Tuesdays I could do a "how to" type post. On Wednesdays I could link to another blog and bounce off something that they'd written and link back to them."
And so I began to think about different types of posts for different days of the week as a strategy to get my blogging regular, and to be a little bit more strategic about it in some ways. In many ways it was kind of like an exercise plan for your body, but it was an exercise plan for my blog.
Over the years I guess that editorial calendar has developed, and has changed at different times depending on the different stage that my blogs are at. There are other activities as well—it's not just the content that you write that you need to be a bit strategic about. It can also be about promoting your blog. So you may add in to your schedule, "In Tuesdays, I will visit five other blogs in my niche and I will watch what they're doing. I will email their authors. I might leave comments on their posts." Those type of activities can be things that you can be a bit strategic about as well.
Another area that you can be strategic about is around building community on your blog. So you may say, "On Thursdays, I'm going to email three of my readers and just say 'Hi, I appreciate you reading, is there anything I can do for you?'" You can interact with your readers in the comments of your blog—that type of activity can be scheduled in. You can be a bit strategic about it.
Similarly you could add in activities around doing search engine optimization if you want to grow your readers through Google, or you could schedule in things about monetization, you know—looking at how your ads are placed on your blog, and doing some optimization of that on a regular basis as well.
None of these things just happen any more than muscles growing without exercising them, so be a little bit strategic about it. Now you may have the incentive and the initiative to be able to do that for yourself, or you may need to do one of two other things.
You might get a program like ProBlogger's 31 Days To Build a Better Blog or ProBlogger's Guide to Your First Week of Blogging. The reason I actually created those ebooks was to get people doing daily activities that would get them in the rhythm of blogging. So you may choose to use a program like that, or you may devise your own, or use someone else's.
And the other thing I'd say is: don't do it alone. One of the things I know about health and my body and being fit as a person, is that I'm much more likely to exercise if I'm somehow doing it with another person. Whether that be a fitness instructor, or whether that be a friend who I go for a run with, or a friend who I might play a game of tennis with. When we are social in what we do with our bodies, for many of us it's easier, and the same I think is true with blogging.
When you join with someone else to work through a program like 31 Days To Build A Better Blog, or some sort of other program that you devise to take your blog to the next level, you're more likely to actually put that into practice. There's that sense of accountability. It's a little bit more fun, and you can help each other and resource each other through that as well. So I'd encourage you to think about not only being strategic about your blogging and putting a plan in place for it, but to also think about how you can do that with someone else. How you can build some accountability and cooperation with another blogger to build your blog.
So I guess I'd encourage you with that advice again: a blog is like a muscle. You need to use it to grow it. And for most of us, that means actually being a little bit strategic and putting some sort of a system or a rhythm or a routine in place to help us to go to the next level. Whatever you do, don't just leave it to chance. If you want your blog to be successful, if you want it to achieve certain goals, you need to put some systems and rhythms in place to take you to those places.

AUBURN UNIVERSITY – The American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation has awarded Dr. Bruce Smith, director of the Auburn University Research Initiative in Cancer, a two-year grant totaling $118,848 to test a new therapy for treating bone cancer in dogs. The research could one day be broadened to include many other kinds of cancer – and possibly cancer in people.
The treatment consists of a virus normally used as a hepatitis vaccine in dogs that has been modified to only make copies of itself inside bone cancer cells. The virus ruptures the cancer cells, releasing thousands of copies of the virus from the tumor cells, killing them.
"By using this approach, we turn the cancer cell into a 'factory' that produces more virus," said Smith. "You could say that we help the cancer cell become an agent of its own death."
Bone cancer, or osteosarcoma, accounts for around 5 percent of tumors in dogs. More than 90 percent of dogs with this tumor have had tumor cells migrate into their lungs, creating what are known as micrometastases, at the time of diagnosis.
"This therapy attacks those metastases and will hopefully eliminate them or make them more sensitive to chemotherapy," said Smith.
The Auburn University Research Initiative in Cancer, or AURIC, was founded in 2012 to accelerate translation of cancer innovation from the laboratory to the clinic. AURIC embodies "One Medicine" – the concept that sees human and animal health as a single field where discoveries in one species advance health in both species.

How Fox News' Primetime Lineup Demonized Black Lives Matter In 2015
Blog ››› ››› TYLER CHERRY
In 2015, Fox News' three primetime hosts engaged in a smear campaign against the Black Lives Matter movement, fearmongering about the alleged threat they pose to law and order and hyping racist canards aimed at discrediting the movement's calls for justice.
The Black Lives Matter movement -- which emerged after the 2013 shooting death of black teenager Trayvon Martin -- became a regular news fixture in 2015 following the high-profile deaths of several unarmed black civilians at the hands of police officers. The movement brought national attention to the issues of police brutality and racial disparities in criminal justice. One group associated with the movement introduced a set of concrete policy solutions, and the movement as a whole became a politically relevant force amid the 2016 presidential race.
In response, Fox's primetime lineup -- Bill O'Reilly, Megyn Kelly, and Sean Hannity -- spent the year disparaging the movement, caricaturing Black Lives Matter as extreme and dangerous while downplaying the problem of police brutality.
Accusing Black Lives Matter Of Extremism
At the forefront of Fox's primetime coverage of Black Lives Matter has been an effort to cast the movement as a radical, militant group that poses a threat to law and order.
The network has primarily sought to disparage the Black Lives Matter movement by likening them to marginalized hate groups by and large rejected from mainstream society. In October, Sean Hannity decried the Democratic National Committee's decision to approve a presidential town hall hosted by groups associated with Black Lives Matter, asking "why don't you let the [Ku Klux] Klan host a party?" Bill O'Reilly bemoaned that "the rise of fascism on American college campuses" has been "no doubt encouraged by groups like Black Lives Matter and other radical concerns," and once equated the Black Lives Matter movement to the Nazi Party, reasoning that they are both "extreme group[s]."
Bill O'Reilly has also outright labeled Black Lives Matter a "hate group," claiming they "want [police officers] dead":
BILL O'REILLY: I think they're a hate group, they hate police officers ... they hate them, they want them dead.
They're a hate group and I'm going to tell you right now I'm going to put them out of business. And any media person who supports them, I'm going to put them on this program and put their picture right up on the air.
Fox's top hosts have also suggested that Black Lives Matter protesters and demonstrations endanger social cohesion and nationwide safety. After a video went viral in June showing a white McKinney, Texas police officer manhandling a black teenage girl, pinning her to the ground and drawing his gun on other black teens, Bill O'Reilly opened his June 9 show with a segment titled "The War On Cops." In the segment, which included b-roll of Black Lives Matter protesters interspersed with footage of riots, O'Reilly stoked fears about the possibility of a "war between the police and minorities in America," charging that "anti-police zealots are given wide latitude to spew their hatred and irresponsible ravings." O'Reilly gave the police in the video a pass, instead noting that "there is a growing disrespect for police officers in some American neighborhoods" and arguing that "that attitude is going to lead to violence."
Fox's primetime line-up also baselessly connected the Black Lives Matter movement to the September death of a Fox Lake, Illinois police officer. Megyn Kelly labeled the death a "murder," noting that "it comes just days after" a Texas sheriff claimed the death of a deputy was inspired by Black Lives Matter. Bill O'Reilly asked whether "the Black Lives Matter crew and other radicals are igniting violence against cops." The officer's death was later ruled a suicide.
Fox's primetime hosts have also fixated on extreme comments of random protesters to discredit the Black Lives Matter movement as violent extremists. On August 29, a small group of protesters at the Minnesota State Fair protesting police brutality chanted "pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon." Black Lives Matter organizers distanced themselves from the controversial chant, but in the following months, O'Reilly, Kelly, and Hannity repeatedly invoked the chant to decry the Black Lives Matter movement as a whole. Fox's Juan Williams called out the ploy on Hannity:
SEAN HANNITY: Your Democratic Party is going to allow the "pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon" group to host a Democratic forum? What's wrong with your party? ... Talk about killing cops? Fry them like bacon?
JUAN WILLIAMS: I don't think that they were serious by the way. You guys make this into, like that was the anthem of all Black Lives Matter. This was a group making some offhand remarks.
HANNITY: Oh no? That was the Black Lives Matter movement.
WILLIAMS: You tried to connect it to the death in Houston. It had nothing to do with it.
HANNITY: Right, the "pigs in the blanket, fry them like bacon" group.
WILLIAMS: I don't think that's fair.
HANNITY: Larry, is that fair? That's their group. That's their chant. They did it.
In response to the chant, Megyn Kelly remarked, "You're supposed to put on somebody from the Black Lives Matter movement to represent their side of the story," but asked "why should we be listening to someone who speaks like that?"
Inviting Extreme Guests To Attack Black Lives Matter
When they're not demonizing Black Lives Matter themselves, Fox's primetime hosts invite extreme right-wing commentators to do the job for them.
Megyn Kelly hosted notorious right-wing race-baiters Ron Hosko and Mark Fuhrman to discuss Black Lives Matter, crime, and policing over a dozen times in 2015, and in doing so mainstreamed and legitimized some of the most racist impulses of the right-wing.
Ron Hosko is the president of the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund, a conservative nonprofit that "prop[s] up right-wing organizations to which they have ties." Hosko has made inflammatory remarks in the past about policing, once calling former Attorney General Eric Holder "chief among the antagonists" of unrest in Ferguson, Missouri. Hosko also suggested that Darren Wilson, the police officer who shot Michael Brown, had been symbolically lynched, claiming that Eric Holder wanted cops to "watch" the lynching and that Holder should "cut Darren Wilson down from that tree."
In keeping with his record of disparaging comments, Hosko frequently attacked the Black Lives Matter movement on Kelly's show. On the September 1 edition of The Kelly File, after the Fox Lake police officer was found dead and Fox News rushed to associate the death with Black Lives Matter, Megyn Kelly asked Hosko about President Obama's response to instances of police brutality. Hosko quickly pivoted towards attacking Black Lives Matter:
MEGYN KELLY: [President Obama] always gives a shout out to the cops when he comments on this matter. But the critics have said, Ron, whenever he compliments the cops or, you know, pays tribute to the hard work they do, there is always a but. You know, but, we have seen this epidemic. But, you know, young black men have good reason to fear. But we have this problem that the cops are responsible for, and so on.
RON HOSKO: We have. And too often it does seem like it is superficial, like it's something he has to say, not something he feels strongly about or truly believes in. Here we have a movement with hundreds of people standing behind a Black Lives Matter banner discrediting themselves. They have done it before. When is it time for senior administration officials to discredit them, as well? These are people who are tugging as hard as they can and tearing at the fabric of trust between our community and law enforcement. It is time to push them to the margins.
Mark Fuhrman, a Fox contributor and former detective for the Los Angeles Police Department, is a regular on both The Kelly File and Hannity. Fuhrman has a record of racist comments that he has made publicly and privately, including using the word n***** more than 40 times over a 10 year period. Yet despite Fuhrman's problematic past statements regarding race and policing, he regularly appears on Fox during primetime to disparage the Black Lives Matter movement. On the one-year anniversary of the death of Michael Brown, Fuhrman derided peaceful demonstrations in Ferguson as "gang members and street drug dealers ... just hanging out" and "taking advantage of a hesitant police department," lamenting that the protesters always "just take more and more."
Sean Hannity frequently hosts Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke to discuss crime and policing. Clarke, himself an African-American, has called Black Lives Matter "an ideology of victimhood with a list of grievances that do not exist" while appearing on Hannity, and said that the endorsement of Black Lives Matter by Democratic politicians is "plantation politics."
O'Reilly often invites former Fox host Glenn Beck onto The O'Reilly Factor. Beck has equated politicians speaking to Black Lives Matter supporters to "choosing death." Fox commentator Bernie Goldberg once lamented to O'Reilly that networks "were all showing [Black Lives Matter protesters'] good racial manners" instead of their "bad racial manners" due to "white liberal guilt because of slavery."
Linking Black Lives Matter To Criminality
Fox News' primetime hosts have also been quick to caricature Black Lives Matter protesters as criminals, implying that if black people didn't rob, join gangs, use drugs -- so the story goes -- they wouldn't be subjected to such heavy policing. The hosts have repeatedly seized on events that have inspired Black Lives Matter protests, deriding victims of police brutality and black communities broadly in an attempt to discredit the Black Lives Matter movement.
In May, after Black Lives Matter protesters took to the streets in Baltimore to protest the death of Freddie Gray, Sean Hannity blamed the community reaction on a "tragic wave of violent crime" in American cities "with no end in sight." Hannity then attempted to lecture black activists about crime in the black community, mocking the idea that racism could be a root cause of violence in Baltimore.
Megyn Kelly is notorious in her own right for shaming and blaming black victims of police brutality. Kelly suggested that Sandra Bland's death could be due in part to her failure to obey the police officer, arguing that her death could have been averted if she had just "compl[ied] and complain[ed] later." Kelly also interjected that the black teenage girl manhandled by a McKinney police officer "was no saint either," after bemoaning that people had "made this into a race thing."
Characterizing Black Lives Matter protesters or black victims of police brutality as criminals occurs within a broader context of Fox News implying that there is something inherently criminal within black communities. After a nine-year-old boy was killed by gun violence in Chicago, Bill O'Reilly argued that the people perpetrating violence in Chicago have "no conscience at all ... and do what they want" and claimed that violence in Chicago comes from a "culture that is sociopathic." He also suggested that Chicago's high incidence of violence "never improves" "because these deaths are in the black precincts" and "in the white precincts ... this would never happen." Megyn Kelly once bemoaned the "anti-cop ... thug mentality" she sees in "black communities." And throughout 2015, Sean Hannity has aired several segments linking black-on-black crime to the "problems" in black communities.
Fox's obsession with black criminality highlights how the network dissuades largely-white audiences from believing that police brutality is indicative of systemic racism, working to mainstream the notion that injustices in the black community are deserved. As media outlets disproportionately misrepresent black people as criminals, Fox's primetime hosts help to "[reinforce] a culture in which the benefit of the doubt is not distributed evenly" and "inaccurate and harmful stereotypes" of black criminality are pervasive. The network's portrayal of black communities as "out of control and replete with danger" consequently "reduces [white people's] empathy and heightens animosity," all to distract from or even excuse police brutality.
The reality is that black people still face incredibly disproportionate rates of police brutality, unarmed killings, and incarceration. Black people are more than twice as likely than white people to be murdered by police. In 2015 alone, nearly 70 unarmed black people have been killed by law enforcement.
And yet, instead of embracing these facts, Fox News has impugned Black Lives Matter, fearmongering about the movement's potential and blaming them for the very injustices that befall the black community.

Oscar winners Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock unite for the first time in this moving post-9/11 drama. Adapted from the acclaimed bestseller by Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close is a story that unfolds from inside the young mind of Oskar Schell, an inventive eleven-year-old New Yorker whose discovery of a key in his deceased father's belongings sets him off on an urgent search across the city for the lock it will open.
A year after his father died in the World Trade Center on what Oskar calls "The Worst Day," he is determined to keep his vital connection to the man who playfully cajoled him into confronting his wildest fears.
Now, as Oskar crosses the five New York boroughs in quest of the missing lock—encountering an eclectic assortment of people who are each survivors in their own way—he begins to uncover unseen links to the father he misses, to the mother who seems so far away from him and to the whole noisy, dangerous, discombobulating world around him.
Along with Hanks and Bullock, newcomer Thomas Horn stars in the role of Oskar. Also featuring Academy Award nominee Max von Sydow and Viola Davis, as well as John Goodman, Jeffrey Wright and Zoe Caldwell.
Three-time Academy Award nominee Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot, The Reader, The Hours) directed from a screenplay by Academy Award winner Eric Roth (Forrest Gump, The Insider), based on Jonathan Safran Foer's novel.

Post office rebuild for Plan B Burgers nearing completion
Although re-construction at the former U.S. Post Office by a private developer seemed to slow to a crawl over the winter months, the building is getting ready to be delivered to tenants.
Steve Grathwohl, asset manager with Westport Property Management, said the owners are working on punch list items and should be able to turn the main space over to the anchor tenant, Plan B Burger Bar, in the next few weeks.
"We should be done very soon," he said. Once that is done, he said, Plan B personnel will be able to come in to fit out the restaurant space.
Grathwohl said the owners are in negotiations with tenants for the four other retail spaces in the back of the building, but declined to name possible tenants.
Plan B, a chain with five restaurants in Connecticut and one in Massachusetts, is looking to open downtown by the late fall. It advertises burgers made with "100 percent verified humane" beef with no additives or chemicals, a selection of all natural, boutique bourbons and American craft beers.
"At this time we have not been given a turn over date by the landlords," said Plan B spokesman Rachel Hurvitz. "We can't wait to get in there."
She said there were "quite a few speed bumps" for the property's owner, 1262 Post Road Holdings, LLC, during the construction time that pushed out the time table "significantly."
The LLC purchased the post office from the federal government in 2012 for $4.3 million. Plan B had originally hoped to open in September of last year, but issues with getting a rock crusher on site, Grathwohl said, led to delays in construction.
Plan B's restaurant will occupy 4,600 square feet at the front of the building, which includes the preserved facade of the original 1936 Post Office.

In 1994, newspaper company Knight Ridder released a video about what news in the future would look like.
The centerpiece of the video was a tablet that's similar to the iPad. (You can see the video below.)
This video has ended up dealing a big blow to Apple's legal attack on Samsung, Peter Barrett at Bloomberg Businessweek reports. He has a long report on Apple's various patent fights with Android phone makers like HTC and Samsung.
Apple was trying to protect its design, which is a rectangle with rounded corners and a big glass screen, from rip-offs by Samsung. But a judge ruling over the case said that Apple's iPad design was preceded by the Knight-Ridder video in 1994:
Apple got even more discouraging results on its iPad design. Again peppering her ruling with handy graphic illustrations, Koh showed how the crude-looking 1994 Fidler/Knight Ridder tablet, designed for reading newspapers digitally, created "the same basic visual impression" as Apple's D'889 patent for the iPad. "The Court," she wrote, "therefore finds that Samsung has raised a substantial question regarding the validity of the D'889 patent on obviousness grounds." So, maybe the iPad's design is up for grabs! In any event, Koh declined to enjoin Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Below is the video. Read the whole story at BloombergBusinessWeek →

Directed by Karla Hartley
Mar. 10 – 27, 2011
Thu. – Sat. 8pm, Sun. 4pm
Tickets: $24.50
Shimberg Playhouse, Straz Center for the Performing Arts
- Creative Loafing Best of the Bay – Best Play
- Creative Loafing Best of the Bay – Best Actress – Fanni Green
Finalist for the 2002 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Starring Fanni Green and Jim Wicker.
Set in a small, predominantly African-American South Carolina town, we watch Eugene and Alma grow up together and fall in love. We soon realize that their romance is challenged by prejudice within the African-American community and their own families.
While both Eugene and Alma are black, Eugene's skin is lighter than Alma's, and what seems on the surface to be a small distinction can truly make a world of difference. Though the play has only two actors on stage, they each play a host of other characters.
Playwright Dael Orlandersmith stated in an interview in 2002 that she knew that her piece – which along with its passionate love story, deals with "colorism", meaning valuing a lighter skin color over a darker one within the African American community – would generate controversy.
"Any time you talk about race, it's a risky thing," Orlandersmith said, "This one is tough, it's a volatile subject. But I'm here to be a mental and emotional traveler, and I'm not here to necessarily be a crowd pleaser. People need to understand that this is a story, not the story."
The characters' complicated relationship to their own families makes for a layered backdrop to the development of their friendship and eventual romantic entanglement, which follows them from their small town youth to the bustling lights of New York City, where Alma breaks into womanhood and self-acceptance in diverse, vibrant Harlem. The two actors show us not only the different phases of their own characters' lives, but also must bring to life the myriad characters that make up their past, their present, their memories and the beautiful – if sometimes tattered – fabric of their shared experience.

Yellowman was an acting Tour de Force. An uncomfortable, challenging and strangely compelling script that tells it's story with a more direct immediacy than many plays. Both actors are more than up to the task and give stunning performances switching fluidly through their roles. This is the type of material and performances you expect from Jobsite! – David Hood

Discussion in 'Installation/Configuration' started by sercba, Jan 16, 2013.
Hi, somebody can explain to me this (attached)?
The log folders of sites (not the sites folders) are mounted with "mount --bind" from /var/log/httpd/domain.tld to /var/www/clients/client[ID]/web[ID]/log. Seems as if munun is not recognizing this correctly as a mount with --bind does not use any additional space, its just a way to make a directory available in a second place in such a way that it works in chroot enviroments.
Ahhhh!!! Thank you!!
Hi Till,
Is there any way to prevent that ISPConfig uses the bind options for mounting logdirs beside changing the source?
I`m not verry happy with so many bind-mounted entrys and I can´t see any reason for using bind-mounts since I´m able to get the logs by ftp.
And - much more important for me - i`m running the websites on a drbd-resource with ocfs2. As long as any mount is active under the resource (like mount --bind), the umount of the resource is not possible.
So I first have to unmount the log-folders. At the moment I´ve no idea how to fix the umount of a ocfs2-volume in such a case (of course, unmount it by hand works as aspected ).
Most users access logs by SSH e.g. with tail or grep. If you have sites with gigabytes of log files and want to see the current entries that get added in realtime, you cant do that with ftp at all.
All mounts are in the fstab file so the linux system mounts and unmounts them automatically at boot time and shutdow. If you need to unmount your /var/www filesystem maually, you can e.g. create a script to unmount your volume.
This doesn´t work with ocfs2 on a drbd-volume.
Currently one logfolder is mounted:
/dev/drbd5 150G 25G 126G 17% /srv/www
/dev/sda8 10G 1.4G 8.1G 15% /srv/www/clients/client2/web323/log
If I run umount /srv/www with the --bind-mount active, i get:
umount: /srv/www: device is busy.
(In some cases useful info about processes that use
the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))
Neither "lsof|grep www" nor "fuser -km /srv/www" show anything.
I must first unmount the log-dir by hand before "umount /srv/www" could be executed.
I`m not sure if this is related to drbd or to ocfs.
/dev/drbd5 150G 25G 126G 17% /srv/www
/dev/sda8 10G 1.4G 8.1G 15% /srv/www/clients/client2/web323/log
umount: /srv/www: device is busy.
(In some cases useful info about processes that use
the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))
Unmounting volumes with arecursive script works with any filesystem incl. ocfs2. Your unmount script has to unmount the log dirs first before you unmount the ocfs of course.
Btw. How often do you unmount the /var/www volume (as this would stop all hosting services anyway). I havent done this on my servers within the past 10 years or so.
Option in the Server Config settings... "Use Bind mounts for Log Files?"
Thumbs up for that option! Right?
Separate names with a comma.

If you plan to bring an out of school guest to the dance, that guest MUST BE REGISTERED by April 17th in the Activities Office. Please open the following PDF for the guest registration.
Prom Guest Registration 2015.pdf
Academic/Activity Letter
Available in the Activities Office
Students interested in earning an academic/activity letter must accumulate a total of ten points evenly distributed in two categories – academics and activities.
The primary goal of this letter is to reward a student for academic/activity success in a manner similar to the letter award of a varsity athlete. The award should represent a significant contribution to the school, and students will only be given points for true participation. To be awarded points for academics and activities, a student must be an active participant.
Any student interested in pursuing this letter should come to the Activities office to pick up an application. Applications are due by Friday, May 1, 2015.
You may also download the application.
Why should you pay your Activity Fee? That is a good question because most parents and students don't really know where that $30 goes. The money is divided among Athletics, Activities, and PTCO. Some of the benefits of the Activity Fee are:
The following list shows how the part earmarked for Activities is spent. In some cases the money is the sole form of funding for a particular activity. In other cases it is a supplement that reduces the cost of a product or event for students. The following activities are funded by the Activity Fee:
You should pay your Activity Fee because it supports the activities listed above and because the activities listed impact YOU and YOUR STUDENT!
Activity Fees can be paid in the Bookkeeping Office.
A new ID will be issued with a receipt from Bookkeeping in the Security Office.

1st Snow Day
I've been sleeping in until 7:00 the last few weeks so I set the alarm for 5:00 but it wasn't need as I woke up just a few minutes early. We went from a 2 hour delay to closed. John has spent several hours working on the driveway with the snow still coming down and subzero windchills. The lake effect is widespread and even Mom is getting it down in Syracuse today, so we didn't get down there either. It's supposed to stop here very early tomorrow morning so I guess my return to work will be then. I'm not looking forward to pulling more than a foot of snow off of the hood or backing into my 1st turn around - in the dark, in the woods and undoubtedly narrowed snow. I am looking forward to seeing the kids and I have candy canes for them. I'm still planning to babysit tonight, if I can get there!

What a break to get a snow day your first day back! I'm glad they closed school though. It was a rough drive that day and one I wish I hadn't tried at all. Our road wasn't plowed and I got stuck right off the bat. That should have been a warning but not for me. lol. I think I made it in under two hours. I kept thinking why are they just delayed and not closed?ReplyDelete

What a week... the first part getting prepared for our FIRST Hurricane, which thankfully passed us by with no more then a little rain and some amazing waves. We didn't even lose power- crazy!
What is even more shocking is that Hurricane Irene is heading towards what we still call "home"... Baltimore/North/South Jersey! Lot's of prayers to all those facing this powerful storm.
Aside from that Party Box Design has been busy busy busy! Halloween is around the corner, and with that we finished our 2011 Halloween Collection! Some super cute party invites for sure.
We have also had an insane amount of custom design orders lately, yay!!!
I love working on custom invitation designs! Here is our latest, which is ohhh so so so so fuuuuun!
Cupcakes and Sprinkles... OH MY!
OOOoooo another recent custom design, that I just adore!
Life has surely been busy, which is really the way I like it. My sweet Charli P also recently started school, which she loves and so do we! I just can't believe she is 3... boy does time fly.
Have a great weekend everyone!
