Spreadsheets: Conditional Format a Chart
Share Printer Friendly
Text Size: A A A A
By Bill Jelen (www.cfo.com)
Reader John P. wins a copy of Charts and Graphs: Microsoft Excel 2010 from the MrExcel Library for his question: "Is there any way to Conditional Format a Chart Range? For example, I have a series of numbers in a Balance Sheet Model (Cash line) that are currently negative, thus when I chart, I make the bars red. If I put in Additional Paid in Capital certain months, the Cash line may turn positive. [As a result], I would want those columns representing the positive cash months to be green.
If you want to change the chart color for positive or negative, there is a built-in solution. First, create a default chart as shown in Figure 1.
Fig. 1
Click on one column in the chart. This should select the entire series of columns. Press Ctrl+1 to display the Format dialog box for Series 1.
In the left navigation of the Format Data Series dialog box, choose the Fill category. It looks like the answer is to choose the Invert if negative checkbox as shown in Figure 2.
Fig. 2
However, this is an unsatisfying result, as the positive columns are blue and the negative columns are white, as shown in Figure 3.
Fig. 3
The trick is to choose Solid Fill instead of Automatic. This step will cause Excel to display a Fill Color section with two color dropdowns. The first dropdown is for positive values and the second dropdown is for negative markers. Choose green and red or any colors desired (see Figure 4).
Fig. 4
The resulting chart will show positive columns in green and negative columns in red (see Figure 5).
Fig. 5
This easy method is fine if the dividing line between red and green is the zero axis. However, what if you want some other point to be the dividing line? In Figure 6, any quality values below 97% are to be highlighted in red.
Fig. 6
In this case, the chart is based on a secret range of calculated cells as shown in Figure 7. Rows 29 and 30 break the quality values from row 26 into either a "Good" or "Bad" series. The #N/A values prevent those columns from being drawn or labeled. The result is either a green or red column for each data point.

Tales from the Infinityverse #7: The Knights of Avalon Part 4
Immortal Swordsman_________________________The Flashing Blade_________________________Lancelot the First Knight
Three heroes, all from different countries, backgrounds, and traditions yet gathered in Spain to face a common foe. The Immortal Swordsman, a primitive man whose blade was bestowed upon his tribe by G'Lorn the Savior, has wandered the Earth studying every style of sword fighting invented. He came to Spain to study Destreza under Felipe Villarreal, the inventor of the style and current Flashing Blade, when tragedy struck. Lancelot the First Knight, who has since dropped the Lancelot name, was sent to Spain by Prester John himself to track down the Rambaldi Talisman, an ancient medallion that protects it's wearer from demonic powers. Ironically the Rambaldi Talisman was in the possesion of the Immortal Swordsman. Lastly, the Flashing Blade lived in Spain as both a nobleman and night time vigalante. Yes, he was the basis for the legend of Zorro but that is a story for another day. For right now we must discuss the evil that gathered these three men together, the nefarious troll king HaemoGoblin and his servants Krundell the Grim and Urlac the Mighty!
Urlac the Mighty_________________________HaemoGoblin the Troll King_________________________Krundell the Grim
HaemoGoblin was once again trying to extend his rule from the underground Troll kingdom to the entire Earth. Urlac and Krundell, two trolls given increased size and strength from a magic spell cast by none other than Balthor, were rampaging through the area that would become Portugal when all three heroes decided to put a stop to the troll king's machinations. Not surprising the troll king cast a spell upon the trio so that each one believed the other two were troll warriors causing the three to fight amonst themselves as Urlac and Krundell headed toward the site of demonic power, the key to HaemoGoblin's plan. Despite the power of the spell Immortal Swordsman was able to resist it thanks to the Rambaldi Talisman. This kept Immortal Swordsman's mind free and clear and allowwed him to subdue both the Flashing Blade and Lancelot the First Knight. As the duo lay unconcious the Immortal Swordsman headed to the site of demonic power, guided by the Rambaldi Talisman. Unknown to him HaemoGoblin had planned this as the Rambaldi Talisman would allow Immortal Swordsman to break the seal on the demonic site of power and allow HaemoGoblin to gain enough power to rule the Earth. And that is where we will take our break, with a hero valiently, yet wrongly, heading into a situation that could cause more trouble than it could prevent...

So glad to see this lives. You have such great takes on stuff. Love the Flashing Blade-Zorro tie you made. Flashing Blade has always reminded me of Duncan Regehr's Zorro of the early 90's.
Tales from the Infinityverse #8: The Knights of Avalon Part 5
When we last spoke The Immortal Swordsman was nearing the site of demonic power in Portugal as Lancelot The First Knight and The Flashing Blade lay unconscious. With the Rambaldi Talisman guiding him, it was an easy task to find the stone pillar that guarded the entrance to unholy site. Assuming that HaemoGoblin was already inside and that the barrier around the pillar was his doing, The Immortal Swordsman used his mystical blade in concert with the Rambaldi Talisman to cleave the pillar in two. From deep within the bowels of the Earth came an entity known locally as El Coco, but whom you may know as the villain Grievance!
El Coco AKA Grievance
El Coco, Grievance, or Hell's Soldier if you're feeling melodramatic was assigned the task to guard the artifact within this site of power. This was a job El Coco is still trying to do today, not knowning that the artifact was destroyed a few months after his release. I digress, as this story must continue. Grievance, being a hell spawn, considered all living things to be his enemy and so when Grundel and Urlac showed up Grievance attacked them along with The Immortal Swordsman.
The battle was brutal as the two trolls tried to fend off the demon while also attacking The Immortal Swordsman who was trying to do the same. HaemoGoblin, being the sneak he was entered the pillar and went after the artifact. The inside of the pillar was a simple chamber with a shining red gem perched atop a stone leech's mouth. HaemoGoblin reached for the gem but a blast of mystical energy stopped him. It was none other than Balthor, the evil wizard used HaemoGoblin's own ambition against him and soon the wizard had the gem in hand. Before vanishing into a cloud of smoke Balthor revealed to HaemoGoblin that he was removing the spell that gave Krundell and Urlac their size and strength.
Outside the pillar The Immortal Swordsman was able to stab a distracted Grievance, pinning the hell spawn to the pillar itself. Krundell and Urlac scurring away with their king as The Immortal Swordsman tried to figure out what to do with Grievance. As luck would have it The Flashing Blade and Lancelot the First Knight showed up and together the three of them managed to toss Grievance back into his chamber before they collapsed the pillar on top of itself.
Although the three of them were still weary of one another, Lancelot persuaded The Flashing Blade and The Immortal Swordsman to accompany him back to England in order to face and stop the unknown threat Merlin sensed. Unbeknownst to the three Balthor had taken the evil Vampiric Ruby of Pael, a gem that would allow him to drain the life force and power of the very demons he worked for. The stage is almost set dear listener, but we still must discuss the truth of Merlyn Daemonchild...
Is there any interest in me continuing this?

Solyndra was once a rising star in the solar power industry, but a year ago this Friday, it became a black hole. The California company abruptly closed and laid off most of its employees on Aug. 31, 2011, then filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy days later — casting a shadow that quickly spread across the country to Washington, D.C.
The failure of any high-profile startup can rattle an emerging industry like U.S. solar power, but Solyndra came with extra baggage: namely a $535 million loan from the U.S. Department of Energy. The DOE had even helped it refinance that loan a few months earlier, and since a top Solyndra investor had also raised money for President Obama in 2008, some Republicans accused the White House and DOE of favoring Solyndra even as it failed. Congress soon launched a flurry of investigations.
It's been one year since Solyndra's crash, but much of the dust has yet to settle. Congress continues to sniff for a scandal, while the DOE maintains the loan was "regrettable," but not political. The IRS is also pushing Solyndra for more tax disclosures to help investors recoup their losses, but critics aren't backing off. GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, for one, recently visited Solyndra's old offices in Fremont, Calif., where he blamed Obama for "a serious conflict of interest."
Even the outlook for Solyndra itself is cloudy. The company's reorganization plan vows to "fairly and efficiently" repay investors, but that may be hard to do by selling off assets like its Fremont office building, reportedly now worth a third of what Solyndra paid for it. As the Wall Street Journal points out, the post-bankruptcy shell company could also still launch a new for-profit venture, letting investors "cash in on the Solyndra tax breaks by deducting the solar company's losses against their profits."

One thing the past year has clarified, though, is that Solyndra wasn't necessarily a bellwether. Critics often note that several other U.S. solar firms also failed in 2011, but upheaval is common in young or evolving markets — as seen after the 1990s dot-com boom. In Solyndra's case, the failure was at least partly due to falling silicon prices: The company was founded in 2005 when silicon was expensive, and touted its silicon-free cylinders as a key alternative to photovoltaics (PVs). But as silicon prices fell in '09 and '10, Solyndra pulled its IPO and closed one of its factories. When the DOE refinanced its loan last year, it may have already been too late.
At the same time, both the global and U.S. solar sectors have continued growing in Solyndra's wake. China's dominance in PV manufacturing is well-known, and cheap Chinese panels likely helped kill demand for Solyndra's cylinders. But as technology has evolved and costs have fallen in recent years, China isn't alone in reaping the benefits. As MNN's Chris Turner reported in January, Germany now has more PV capacity than the entire planet had seven years ago, and Italy added more capacity in 2011 than any other country — all despite Europe's recent economic woes.
The U.S. didn't waste much time mourning Solyndra, either. Of the 2.7 gigawatts in new solar power it installed last year — good for No. 3 globally, behind Italy and Germany — more than 40 percent came in the fourth quarter alone. And according to a report from the Solar Energy Industries Association, the U.S. then installed 506 megawatts in the first quarter of 2012, an 85 percent increase over the first quarter of 2011. "There was considerable demand across each of the three market segments," the report adds, "as residential, commercial and utility-scale solar power installations all increased in Q1 2012 compared to Q1 2011."
The ongoing growth of U.S. solar power is largely due to the same "adverse market conditions" that Solyndra executives cited in their company's demise: cheap PV solar panels. The SEIA reports the average cost of a PV system dropped 17 percent between Q1 2011 and Q1 2012, while the average price of one solar panel has fallen 47 percent. In many parts of the U.S., a new PV system can now pay for itself in less than a decade, depending on factors like sunlight hours, tax breaks and electricity costs. It can still take 19 years in Kentucky or Washington state, for example, but as little as seven years in Louisiana or New Jersey, and just four in Massachusetts.

Sunlight still represents a sliver of the U.S. energy mix, but it is gaining ground. Several big solar thermal plants are under construction in Western states, including Nevada's 110-megawatt Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project — which received a DOE loan even larger than Solyndra's — and California's 392-megawatt Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System. A variety of large PV plants are also being built, but according to market-research firm Solarbuzz, some of the industry's most promising growth is small-scale. About 40 percent of PV projects underway in the U.S., for example, will generate less than 500 kilowatts each.
"These smaller projects have a considerable impact on the communities where they are being built, providing much-needed employment and energy cost reduction," Solarbuzz analyst Christine Beadle said in a July press release. Many small projects also receive state or federal aid — not quite like Solyndra's $535 million loan or oil companies' annual $4 billion in tax breaks, but enough to soften their upfront costs. And while Solyndra's fate may reveal little about the net effect of that aid (especially since most DOE loan recipients are not bankrupt), that hasn't stopped pundits and politicians from suggesting its downfall was "just the tip of the iceberg."
At a congressional hearing last November, U.S. Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., implied the U.S. shouldn't support any startups like Solyndra: "In this time of record debt, I question whether the government is qualified to act as a venture capitalist, picking winners and losers in speculative ventures and shelling out billions of taxpayer dollars to keep them afloat." A DOE official disputed Upton's view, countering that DOE "isn't picking winners and losers. It is helping ensure that we have winners here at all."
Aside from Solyndra, the DOE loan program's mission — to "accelerate the domestic commercial deployment of innovative and advanced clean energy technologies" — is generally considered a success. It has supported projects like the country's first two all-electric vehicle factories, one of its first commercial-scale cellulosic ethanol plants and the first national-scale "distributive photovoltaic energy project," which installs rooftop PV panels across 28 states. Its current portfolio is 87 percent "low-risk" power-generation projects, which feed a more reliable demand than novel technologies like Solyndra's do, according to an analysis by Bloomberg Government.
Romney has echoed Upton's doubts in recent months, but the GOP isn't unified against the DOE loan program, which was created by the Bush administration in 2005. Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, for one, defended it in June. "Unfortunately, what we have seen this past year with some of the failures in the loan-guarantee program, it has tainted that whole program to the point where some are suggesting the plug just needs to be pulled," she said at an energy policy forum in Washington. "I don't think that is the case. ... We are focusing right now on the failures instead of also recognizing that we have done good things [with] the loan-guarantee program."
Those good things have been obscured for much of the past year, but as solar power continues growing in the U.S. and abroad, Solyndra's shadow may finally be fading.

Look who's joined Twitter: It's Stephen King!
The author of this year's bestselling "Dr. Sleep" (not to mention all his other bestsellers, from "The Stand" to "Carrie," joined Twitter today. Within an hour or so, he had over 30,000 followers on the popular social media platform.
He was also authenticated, earning the prestigious little blue check mark next to his name, immediately.
Here's what he said first (generating thousands of retweets within an hour).
My first tweet. No longer a virgin. Be gentle!
— Stephen King (@StephenKing) December 6, 2013
A few minutes later, the author least in need of explaining himself to his audience wrote:
On Twitter at last, and can't think of a thing to say. Some writer I turned out to be.
— Stephen King (@StephenKing) December 6, 2013
Stephen King joins many other popular authors on Twitter, including Margaret Atwood (@MargaretAtwood, 450,000+ followers), Neil Gaiman (@neilhimself, 1.9 million followers), Salman Rushdie (@salmanrushdie, 650,000+ followers), Anne Rice (@annericeauthor, 73,000+ followers), John Green (@realjohngreen, 1.9 million followers) and many others.
Many authors use Twitter to connect directly to their readers, responding to Tweets, sharing news about tours or upcoming works, and generally being pithy and interesting. (Or, occasionally, not.)
King visited Colorado earlier this year, giving a rousing talk at Chautauqua Auditorium in Boulder. King, who used the Stanley Hotel in Evergreen as inspiration for his frightening novel "The Shining" (which 2013's "Dr. Sleep" serves as a sequel to), spent time living in Boulder with his family in 1974.

Directed by Gears of War art director Jeremiah O'Flaherty and starring the guy that played Darwin in X-Men First Class, this teaser trailer for the 2013 web series based on indie mech game Hawken is nearly as impressive as the actual game.
Since getting my hands on Hawken at E3 last month, my only Hawken-related thoughts have revolved around getting my hands back on it.
So while this upcoming live-action joint has a lovely cast and manages to look sufficiently dystopian, it does absolutely nothing to further my burning desire to play a few more rounds. Maybe I'll be more receptive once 2013 rolls around and my craving has been sated.

We recently reviewed the Philips Fidelio L1s, and we did like them quite a bit. So these new M1s were greeted with some excitement when they landed on our doorstep. They're about £50 less expensive than the L1s, but still retain that interesting design and quality finish.
The M1s sit in that category that has recently been introduced by Beats. The price is, we think, quite steep at about £180, but there's a lot of choice in this part of the market. It's clearly a sweet spot, an amount of money that people are prepared to spend without too much thought.
We've seen a few sets of this sort of thing recently, but how do the M1s compare?
The first thing we noticed when we put these on, is how nicely balanced they are. Once you adjust the band, you can hardly notice them there, at least for the first few minutes.
Eventually, you do start to feel the band putting pressure on your ears, but that's essential to stop them from slipping off the whole time. And we think Philips has basically got the balancing act about right overall. After a few hours of listening, our ears were aware of their presence, and there was a mild ache, but not as bad as we've experienced with other makes.
The comfort is also assisted by that luxurious band, which is nice and soft on the outside, but good and rigid inside. That should, hopefully, mean that the headphones don't end up getting flabby latter on and slipping off more easily. But, from new, these feel pretty lovely.
As with the L1s, these cans offer you protection from outside sounds and also claim to be pretty leak-free. In our tests, this proved to be pretty much the case. Sounds from outside were muted considerably, but audible enough so you don't miss important things happening.
From the sound leak perspective, they were actually decent. Other people will hear a little sound from them, but it's not as severe as you get from cheaper 'phones. They're better, for example, than the great majority we test - and we test a LOT of headphones. Our patented "does Mrs Pocket-lint moan" test was passed this time.
No user-serviceable parts
One thing that does trouble us, is that there are no real bits here that can be replaced if something goes wrong. For example, the ear pads aren't removable, so if they disintegrate, then you'll have to buy a new set.
Then there's the cable. We like this a lot, because of its anti-tangle design. The main run of cable is replaceable, and that includes the iPod/iPhone remote. But, as with the L1s, there is that little cable drop from the left earphone, that isn't removable. Our honest opinion is that this should be replaced with a socket on the earphone. Medical Professional Dre's headcans manage this, so there's really no excuse.
With all that said, we don't have any quality concerns here at all. The Philips never felt like they were in any danger of falling apart. They are well-built and feel like they could take some abuse. So it may just be that Philips has built them to last, rather than to have bits swapped out.
Sound quality
Good news, these headphones sound decent. In fact, we loved them from the start.
First, they won't divide opinion in the way Beats will. You don't have to want your head stoved in with pounding bass to wear a pair, but they are still more than capable of delivering low-frequency sounds with an impressive punch.
Things at the top end are good too. We did find these a little bit bright on a Windows computer, with an external USB-based DAC and headphone amp. Indeed, we had to boost low frequencies by a little bit to be really satisfied, bit this was a two-second job, then everything sounded great.
We tried out every kind of music we could lay our hands on. From pop, through to pop rock and pop dance. But if pop isn't your thing, rest assured that everything else we could find sounded excellent too.
A quick punt on The Prodigy - Warrior's Dance (Future Funk Squad "Rave Soldier" Mix) told us that both bass and treble are well-balanced. With mids sounding good too. What we liked was that the bass never drowned out everything else, and it didn't leave us with a pounding headache either.
It's also worth mentioning that speech-based content sounds good too. We caught up with some Radio 4, online, and the detail from the studio was impressive. It's amazing what you can hear, in fact.
As with the L1s, we found ourselves falling for the M1s. If we could change anything, we'd get rid of that silly little cable drop from the earphone, and perhaps make the memory foam earpads replaceable.
From a sound perspective though, we're very happy with the overall quality. And let's be honest, that's really all that matters.
Of course, it doesn't hurt that these headphones look great, and feel good too. So, we think that counts as something as a glowing recommendation from us.
Note: after publication Philips gave us some good news. The M1s are actually available for £160, which makes them even better value.

Rohan and Anna Lauer Roy finish 14-day mission to climb, ski all 14 Sawatch Range 14ers
They did it.
Leadville mountaineers Rohan and Anna Roy climbed more than 45,000 vertical feet and skied all 14 14,000-foot Sawatch Range peaks in 14 days. They skied down Mount Massive Sunday afternoon to a group of waiting, cheering friends.
The pals offered the exhausted couple a ride back home to Leadville. They both had to work the next day. Luckily someone brought a couple bikes.
"We wanted to get home on our own power and we thought a bike fit the bill," said Rohan, who with his wife dreamed up the first-ever ski of the 14 highest Sawatch Range peaks as a way to raise $14,000 for the Full Circle youth service outfit where he designs outdoor programs for Leadville teens.
The audacious Fourteeners for Teens mission had its challenges. The pair planned to climb and ski three fourteeners on the first day: Tabeguache Peak, Mount Shavano and Mount Antero. An electrical storm buzzed, sparked and crackled atop the rocky summit of Shavano as they raced down. But the weather calmed and they finished Antero on day one.
High winds and blowing snow pinned them at treeline on Mount Yale. Snow wasn't freezing at lower elevations and the pair would sink – with skis on – to their waist as they labored below treeline. On the second week they stayed higher, where the snow was less isothermic. Rohan broke all the buckles off his ski boots postholing through the rotten snow on the first day. (Both had wanted to roll fully self-supported but friends delivered replacement bolts to secure his buckles at Mt. Princeton Hot Springs.)
The skiing was great, Rohan said. They carved through deep powder off the summit of Mount Princeton and perfect corn off La Plata Peak. They skied from the true summit of half the peaks and from only a few feet below the summit of several others. Only a few peaks required a short walk on rocks to reach the top. They caught a rare window to be able to ski so many of the state's highest peaks in a row.
They saw a couple snowboarders on Princeton but no one else before they skied down to their friends at the bottom of Massive.
"We were fortunate. For everything that went wrong, something allowed it to work," Rohan said. "Things went really well."
The pair hope to travel with a slideshow of their adventure to help raise money for Full Circle, which serves underprivileged kids and families in Leadville.

Cereal Bowl
|Costume type:
|Costumes for Girls
This homemade costume for girls entered our 2011 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Lyndsey, the 'Cereal Bowl' costume creator:
My older daughter must have been hungry one morning because she informed me that she wanted to be a big bowl of cereal for Halloween. Impressed with her creative idea, I obliged! I used a wicker basket and cut the bottom out. I used pipe insulation to cover the raw edges and covered the whole thing in fabric. Then, I cut a piece of cardboard out to fit inside the basket and covered it in fabric. To make the cereal, I used Magic Nudles. The straps are extra-long zip ties. Her treat bag was a simple white broadcloth bag with ribbon handles to represent milk.

KDE 4 Set to Make Device Interaction Solid
After a lot of hacking behind the scenes, a new initiative to improve KDE's interaction with network and hardware devices has been launched. Solid will provide a robust basis for the dynamic modern desktop in KDE, which needs to be aware of available hardware and networks, paving the way for innovative functionality. Users should see KDE applications taking advantage of Solid in KDE 4, from the most basic Plasma applets and complex applications to desktop-wide awareness. Developers will be able to take advantage of a robust, flexible and portable API and will be integrated into the Plasma engine. It will make use of existing technologies like HAL. Solid will also include a knowledge base providing a way for users to easily provide feedback on incorrect behaviour.
Nobody can be certain yet as to how Solid will be used by developers, but according to Kévin Ottens, Solid project lead, "Solid will be a giant leap for KDE. For example, the desktop will be able to deal wisely with your computer hibernating. You'd want network interfaces to go down and for network-enabled applications to gracefully handle the disconnection; USB devices should be synced to avoid data loss". In the long run we can even imagine turning on a bluetooth video screen and having every multimedia application provide you with the option of remote playback.
Not all of the ideas described so far will make it into KDE 4.0, but with more developers for the APIs, the Plasma engine and the knowledge base web site, much more can be achieved. Application developers are also encouraged to experiment with Solid, which will help it mature faster. If you would like to get involved in this exciting area of the free desktop visit the Solid web site and get in touch with the team.
Good Title
Heh, first thing I noticed was the title play between Plasma and Solid. Neat. Only problem is that we can't use Liquid as a title for anything... silly apple.

Re: Good Title
Given the connotation of steamer (at least in some uses) that would be a really horrible name. Hmm, maybe we could retroactively give that name to arts :P
Anyway, I suppose you mean Kstreamer, and probably as somewhat of a joke, but check it out. Stream, fluid...kind of a relationship there. Interesting :o)

Notice the reverse definition they're using for portability: "Each platform providing the necessary Solid backends will be supported." In other words, Solid does not support platforms, instead platforms must support Solid. This is insane. Solid needs to examine how other crossplatform software has been written. Imagine how non-crossplatform Qt would be if Trolltech had this philosophy and left it up to Microsoft and Apple to do their own native ports.
I fully realize how difficult it is to make a crossplatform hardware/device layer. But when "Solid is specifying the features the underlying system must provide", it's doing nothing more than passing the buck.
I'm hoping they just have their definition wrong.
By Brandybuck at Wed, 2006/01/04 - 6:00am
Re: Portability?
What they mean (I think) is that the platforms will provide something like HAL on linux and then a backend for Solid will be developed for that platform using the available technologies, I don't think they are saying that on Windows or OS X that they would rely on microsoft and apple to do it, they are going to rely on the developers on that platform primarily (though probably many Solid developers will work on many platforms).
I think "Solid is specifying the features the underlying system must provide" means stuff like the OS must have some way for apps to be notified of hardware or network changes, preferably through means other than the app being forced to periodically poll the status.
By Corbin at Wed, 2006/01/04 - 6:00am
Re: Portability?
indeed. there is already a HAL backend, and i don't think its written by HAL developers...
Re: Portability?
perhaps clearer wording would be "Additional platforms can be supported by writing a Solid backend for that target." who actually does the work, which is what you seem to be hung up on, hardly matters. either a solid back end exists .... or it doesn't. =)
> But when "Solid is specifying the features the underlying system must
it's not passing the buck, it's defining the needs of the desktop. if those requirements aren't well defined, how can anyone be expected to fill them? this is how HAL originally got going (and why it didn't exist earlier): they sat down and figured out what the desktop needed and wrote code to fill those requirements.
so now we have a list of requirements. if a platform already provides those facilities it's simply a matter of writing a Solid backend for it. otherwise the platform needs to be improved first before Solid can be ported to it.
this is really no different than requiring a network stack to be able to use a network-centric app like kopete or requiring that the system (hardware and OS) offers hardware meters before you can show CPU temperatures in a GUI. =)
By Aaron J. Seigo at Wed, 2006/01/04 - 6:00am
Re: Portability?
It seems that Solid is trying to specify a standard, but Solid isn't a standard. What if the underlying platform doesn't choose to accept the imposition of that standard? What if a platform decides it likes another desktop and decides not to implement any of those kernel features Solid tells it to? What if some kindly soul at KDE writes those features, but that platform won't accept them?
This is a concern to me for two reasons. First, I don't use Linux. Second, I refuse to use proprietary video drivers. Will KDE be fully functional for me? If not, I'll be moving to a different desktop.
Re: Portability?
a) Solid is an API for device/network detection and hardware information. It's features are provided through backends like HAL.
b) If the platform decides not offer any hardware probing features in its kernel, it's there problem, right?
c) If the platform does offer the needed kernel features, it just a matter of either porting HAL or writing a new backend for Solid. Solid neither specifies the implementation nor the API of those kernel features. This is all handled by the Solid backend.
d) I'm sure KDE will also function on platforms that don't provide the necessary functionality. You will just miss certain features.
e) Solid features have *nothing* to do with proprietary video drivers
By Christian Loose at Thu, 2006/01/05 - 6:00am
Re: Portability?
This is why that quote is so confusing, because it is stating that the backends must conform to the Solid specification. In other words, a platform can provide sufficient hardware probing features, but Solid won't use them because they didn't follow the Solid specification. Hopefully that's not what their portability definition means, but that is how it is written.
p.s. Sorry about the video driver reference. I had recently read about XGL only supporting proprietary drivers, and I conflated the two hardware issues in my mind.
Re: Portability?
Well, if there are hardware probing features that don't do what Solid needs, then no it may not support the platform. If it's just that the platform doesn't do things in the exact same way as Linux does, then that's the purpose of Solid. Systems like solid and hal are just a way to let people developing application ignore the specifics of an individual OS, just like QT mostly allows you to ignore whether your app is for Windows, Mac OSX, or Linux.
Solid wouldn't be saying exactly how the platform has to behave, it just specifies what information it needs to be able to get somehow to work properly. Some OS's may be more efficient about providing it than others though.
By greg at Fri, 2006/01/06 - 6:00am
Re: Portability?
Do you have any doubts that all relevant plattforms will support it?
By Gerd at Thu, 2006/01/05 - 6:00am
Re: Portability?
It's the only way it can be done. HAL is a back-end, but the only way it can be used in different operating systems is if it is actually there - which is only Linux at the moment. There is a lot of OS dependant stuff when it comes to hardware communication. Likewise, Solid can only be used if the Solid backends are there.
Another way of wording this is to say that you port the necessary Solid backends to each platform and they will then be supported ;-).
By segedunum at Thu, 2006/01/05 - 6:00am
Re: Portability?
What they mean is, that in Linux Solid can use the HAL backend, but it can't in FreeBSD or NetBSD or Solaris. So, on each of those *platforms*, a different Solid backend would need to be implimented.
It has nothing to do with drivers or hardware.
By I think you mis... at Fri, 2006/01/06 - 6:00am
Re: Portability?
> Solid needs to examine how other crossplatform software has been written.
Actually, take a look at GCC and most other cross platform tools and you will discover this is exactly how they work. Firefox is the same way, and so is Mono. I don't know about OpenOffice, but I would expect that to be the same, too. The proper way to develop any cross-platform application is to abstract away the differences, which means writing a driver for each platform that has a specified API, and any platform that provides that API should run the application.

yet another layer ?
Could you explain the need of implementing such a lib into kde if i'm wrong ? I'm not sure i've understood the whole thing.
By polux at Wed, 2006/01/04 - 6:00am
Re: yet another layer ?
An example use of this technology is that when you plug in your MP3 player, amaroK would recognize it and add it to the list of media devices. Without something like Solid or media:/, amaroK would have to depend on HAL directly (which is what Banshee does).
Really I would consider the DE to be part of the operating system, as it plays roles given to the OS in MS or Mac.
And yea, Solid is a KDE library...
By Ian Monroe at Wed, 2006/01/04 - 6:00am
Re: yet another layer ?
"Really I would consider the DE to be part of the operating system"
But the Unix desktop is NOT part of the operating system, no matter how often Microsoft and Apple tell you otherwise. The Unix model is an onion, with the desktop being a layer on top of lower level layers. Because of this, KDE can run on *ANY* Unix system with an X11 server. Yes, the desktop does need to access kernel services and other low level resources, but that doesn't mean you have to tightly couple the desktop to the operating system the way Microsoft and Apple do.
Re: yet another layer ?
"KDE can run on *ANY* Unix..."
Right, but not any Unix provides HAL or D-Bus, for this reason we need yet another abstraction layer.
By Tobias König at Thu, 2006/01/05 - 6:00am
Re: yet another layer ?
Right I'm saying the definition of "operating systems" now encompasses the functions of a DE. It isn't a stretch to say that providing to developers easy access to multimedia, hardware, and an HTML viewer are functions of an operating system. I'm not saying that this somehow means that DE's need to be unportable and stuck on a kernel.
I mean, if you look at the functionality KDE provides they are often because on the other platforms Qt resides they are already provided by the OS.
By Ian Monroe at Fri, 2006/01/06 - 6:00am
Re: yet another layer ?
In a Java VM, you get the core interpreter, which basically knows about the byte code and the underlying OS. But no Java Runtime or SDK comes without a huge set of libraries (handling IO, ZIP files, GUI stuff), but Java would be long dead if it did not come with them. They are bundled with the JDK, but not part of the core system, and yet Java specific. some of them have OS-dependent back-ends too.
By FreddyTheTeddy at Mon, 2006/01/09 - 6:00am
Re: yet another layer ?
if there would be no solid, every application has to support several different ways of getting hardware information. it would mean a lot duplication of effort...
Re: yet another layer ?
it's actually more of a "mid-level" library much like Qt is: it sits between low level (usually OS-specific, often non-portable) implementations and desktop GUI apps. this provides both abstraction (and portability) and a more friendly API.
this way a KDE app has exactly one API to deal with for hardware instead of one per platform. superkaramba, ksim, ksysgaurd and others have all duplicated efforts trying to achieve this for that one app to varying degrees of success.
as a bonus, the API is much like the ones KDE/Qt developers are already familiar with. they don't have to learn yet another API style, they can remain portable and start interacting better with hardware for a minimal time investment.
By Aaron J. Seigo at Wed, 2006/01/04 - 6:00am
Re: yet another layer ?
HAL is Linux specific. KDE isn't, and thus Solid isn't.
By Evan "JabberWok... at Wed, 2006/01/04 - 6:00am
Re: yet another layer ?
Correction: HAL is portable software with only a Linux backend available at the time.
Sun is working on porting it to Solaris, and there are people working on a FreeBSD port too.

Shane Returns
August 22, 2007
Tonight's Lineup
Rollins, ss; Iguchi, 2b; Burrell, lf; Howard, 1b; Rowand, cf; Victorino, rf; Dobbs, 3b; Cost, c; Durbin, p.
This is one of those good news, bad news bits.
Shane Victorino is back in right field tonight. Finally, one coming back from the wounded. But, Cole Hamels is headed for the DL.
Hard to believe but 44-year-old Jamie Moyer and 35-year-old Antonio Alfonseca are the only pitchers from the opening day staff that have not spent time on the DL. We should take a team picture in the trainer's room. The way things are going, the photographer would probably get injured.
Back in spring training, Pat Gillick said he liked the character of this team. In his mind, character helps a team get through the tough times. He couldn't be more accurate.
On the field, the club just keeps on battling. I know you've heard this before right here, but credit must go to Charlie Manuel and his coaching staff. Charlie is always positive and that caries over to the clubhouse.
No one knows where the Phillies will finish this year. But, we do know this team is full of heart and character.
Philly fans like athletes who bust a gut. They should love this bunch.
2 Comments
What makes this team different from teams in the past is the heart. No matter who is out and who are they playing, they are always in the game.
Losing Hamels hurts, but hopefully it'll only be until the 1st. Victorino's return should spark the lineup.
Hopefully the injured return soon. Until then, let the heart and character carry the team!
All of the character in the world can't make up for pitching, as was evident last night. As much as I love this team and the great group of guys that comprise it, they just can't win without pitching. There's also nothing more frustrating then losing guys to stupid little injuries. Save Utley and Bourn, no one went down due to "arron-rowand-esc" mishaps. I'm a firm believer that injuries can be prevented, so what is this team doing wrong? When teams are way out in front and cruising, guys don't get hurt. When the Phillies are fighting to keep their head above water, they lose the whole roster; it just doesn't make any sense. I apologize for this rant, but seeing this team struggle hurts me just as much as it hurts you, so I'm sure you understand. I was at all three games in Pittsburgh and I haven't been able to get over that yet.
Also, any word on where Utley is going to rehab at? Any chance of Reading? They're home this weekend!

I read about folks successfully using a Lee ACB on their Pro Auto-Disk.
Well, my ACBs don't work with my PADs.
Attached is a picture of the slot the lever goes in, what the ACB looks like mounted, and where the powder drops from the hopper, missing the ACB completely. If looks like it should be far enough back, but I would need to open the ACB by about 1/2" at lest for any powder to drop in the cavity.

Re: Adjustable Charge Bar
Darwin, I am sorry I did not notice this post sooner. Mine works just fine and dandy. But I rarely use it. If you would like, I can mail it to you so you can see what'ntarnation the difference could be. There is a little secret to getting accurate cavity settings. Always make adjustments in one direction. I always set it a bit too small and work up. If I miss (i.e. pass by the target setting) I reset the cavity to where it is well undersized and work-up again. If you try to just tweek it backward a bit, the thread tolerance throws you off a bit. Also, that looks like an itty-bitty cavity you are going for there. I use the micro-disk kit for that (well, I have used it; I typically toss a fair amount of powder.
Re: Adjustable Charge Bar
It's been a while since I have used mine & I realize this is an old post, but I believe that you need to adjust the depth of the powder measure in the die holder to make the disc move back just a little farther on the down stroke. This will align the drop tube with the disc cavity.

With every major IT giant out there going into the mobile business, HP could not stand back and enjoy the show. Although, HP has had a horrid experience with the mobile over the last few years, perhaps it has learnt from its mistakes and wants to get back into the mobile sector with a fresh start. It has already re-branded the Palm business (or whatever was remaining of it) to Gram attempting to give it a new focus. Palm could boast of software that was ahead of its time and some groundbreaking products (the Treo) too, but it never had strong foundation stones. With Gram, HP is starting over with Palm.
That sounds good, isn't it? But wait. Confusion started a few days ago, when HP circulated an internal memo talking about another mobile division inside its company, the only difference being that this one will deal with hardware instead. The group is being called the "Mobility Global Business Unit" and it will be headed by Alberto Torres, who was the head of MeeGo at Nokia. At this new unit, Torres will be the Senior Vice-President. According to HP, this group will focus on:
Additional segments and categories where we believe we can offer differentiated value to our customers.
Was it a wise decision to kill the existing Palm business and instead, bring out separate hardware and software product lines and teams? It is too early to speculate on the future prospects of this strategy. Surely, HP has something in mind when it is going through such a massive change, or is it just a shot in the dark?

Berlin- The super efficent Germans are rightly acknowledged as being innovative world leaders in many different fields, car making, engineering, brewing, electronics and of course sausage guzzling.
But one plucky Fraulein from the quiet Berlin suburb of Fadgedorf is fast becoming known the world over for her staggeringly hirsute pussy.
Fraulein Mingestein,26, is the world's premier breeder of Schatcatz a new breed of super hairy feline taking Germany and the world by storm.
The new super cat is over twice the size of an ordinary house cat and is covered in a thick coat of long wiry black fur. (similar in appearance to the clumps of hair you sometimes have to remove from plug holes)
Fraulein Mingestein speaking to me from her home in Fadgesdorf told me about her lifelong quest to develop the hairiest pussy known to man "I have had all types of pussy throughout my life but I always dreamed of having the hairiest pussy in the world; so I made it my life long goal to develop a pussy so hairy that anyone who glimpsed it would be shocked at luxuriant depravity of its long flowing locks."
Ten hard years of trial and error eventually led Fraulein Mingestein to develop the new Schatcatz breed; which many experts in the pussy world are now calling the ultimate in hirsute cat technology.
Demand for the new super cat is so great that connoisseurs of pussy flesh are known to be paying up to two thousand Dollars just to run their fingers over Fraulein Mingestein's hairy pussy.
Advance orders of the new super cat are so great that many
hairy pussy lovers are bound to be disappointed and will instead have to make do with drooling over photos of Fraulein Mingesteins hairy pussy at her new site- Hairygermanpussy.com

Get the hint of good home design idea from Tips To Build Luxury Bathroom Decor for your home building inspiration, and get more home inspiration at A Little Change For Creating A Luxurious Bathroom Without Too Much Money. Picture max resolution: 845 × 634 px
Home decorating ideas are often hampered in the selection of furniture, because the selection of furniture must be adapted to the type of home. For example for a minimalist home, we recommend using a furniture with a design that gives the impression of a more spacious house.
Decorating the house, for a minimalist house, it is exciting, but also exhausting. Fun because it will get a new look at home, tired of having to think about the concept of decoration to suit the wishes and not look overdone. Some people who do not want to bother usually choose the path of consultations with interior designers to obtain design ideas suitable home.

Life is a constant cycle of ups and downs. There will always be good days and bad ones. It is never perfect but it's these imperfections that spice things up. It's these very flaws that motivates us to pursue with hope and determination. In the end, they help shape our character, teaches us humility and help us appreciate even the smallest of blessings.
Hope gives us the wings to fly and run like the wind. We may not soar high enough to reach the clouds but it's high enough to surpass the things that pulled us down.
Hope gives us the strength to overcome obstacles, trials and problems. It gives us comfort that things will be better. That there's a bright sun hiding behind the dark clouds. That everything will be alright.
Hope gives us reasons to hang on. To dream and wish for happiness. Happiness that always seem to balance the sad, lonely and depressing times.
Hope motivates us to let go and just move forward with courage. It inspires us to just jump and take that huge leap of faith.
Hope gives us a reason to trust that love is more that enough to help us go through anything and everything.
This week's Image of Life is all the "Blessing of Hope."
How did hope help you get through your worst? What is your hope today?
Thank you for sharing your day with me.

Burundi: the rebels are back
Issued on: Modified:
Burundi is descending into violence. Attacks on villages and targeted assassinations are increasing. A new rebel group has been formed to challenge President Nkurunziza. Our reporters went to meet its leader in the mountains of South Kivu, in the DRC. This is the first time he has agreed to speak to journalists.
Thursday December 1st was the first day that our Reporters on the new rebellion and political tensions in Burundi was to be broadcast. But suddenly, FRANCE 24 was cut off in the country. I received many phone calls from Burundians frustrated at missing the programme. They have so few opportunities to see reports on their country in the international media.
I had been thinking about the subject for several months. Burundi is gradually sinking into a new war, but no one, or almost is talking about it. It must be said that Burundi, nestled in the heart of Africa's Great Lakes, between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, is of little interest to the international community. It is one of the continent's smallest countries, it is not rich in natural resources, and it has a limited regional role. The tragic history of Burundi has not had the same media impact as the genocide and conflict in neighbouring Rwanda.
So when a new rebel group, the Fronatu Tabara, is formed and begins to publish online statements, I seize the chance. The conflict materialises - a good starting point for a report. But I want to approach and meet the rebels. Several weeks of preparation are necessary. The armed men are reticent, they fear falling into a trap.
A meeting across the border
Finally, we manage to establish contact. The rebels give us the green light. But it is only once we arrive in Bujumbura at the beginning of November that we find out the details of the meeting. It will in fact take place on the other side of Lake Tanganyika, in the east of the DRC. We will need to climb up to the highlands of South Kivu, as this is where the armed group has installed its rear base.
We are due to meet our "escorts" in Uvira, Bujumbura's twin town on the Congolese side. But our departure is postponed several times. It is the height of the electoral period in DRC, and President Joseph Kabila is campaigning in the region. Controls by Congolese soldiers have increased.
Two days of walking
It is difficult to be inconspicuous, since FRANCE 24's viewers will recognise me. This slows down our crossing of the Congolese border.
After several failed attempts, we finally reach the other side of the border with our guides, at the foot of the mountains. We are told the rebels are only thee hours' walk away, and that we should arrive by nightfall. I reassure myself that I can manage the trek. In actual fact, it will take us two long days of walking to get to our meeting point.
We finally arrive. It is several hours after nightfall when, suddenly, around twenty armed men descend on the village. These are the rebels we are to meet.

Revision as of 17:28, 29 January 2013
zh-CN:MAC Address Spoofing There are two methods for spoofing a Media Access Control (MAC) address on Arch. Both of them are outlined below.
Method 1: macchanger
The first method uses macchanger (a.k.a., the GNU MAC Changer). It provides a variety of features such as changing the address to match a certain vendor or completely randomizing it.
Install the package macchanger from the Official Repositories.
After this, the MAC can be spoofed with a random address. The syntax is
macchanger -r <device>.
Here is an example command for spoofing the MAC address of a device named eth0.
# macchanger -r eth0
To randomize all of the address except for the vendor bytes (that is, so that if the MAC address was checked it would still register as being from the same vendor), you would run the command:
# macchanger -e eth0
Finally, to change the MAC address to a specific value, you would run:
# macchanger --mac=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX is the MAC you wish to change to.
Method 2: Manual
First, you can check your current MAC address with the command:
# ip link show eth0
The section that interests us at the moment is the one that has "link/ether" followed by a 6-byte number. It will probably look something like this:
link/ether 00:1d:98:5a:d1:3a
The first step to spoofing the MAC address is to bring the network interface down. You must be logged in as root to do this. It can be accomplished with the command:
# ip link set dev eth0 down
Next, we actually spoof our MAC. Any hexadecimal value will do, but some networks may be configured to refuse to assign IP addresses to a client whose MAC does not match up with a vendor. Therefore, unless you control the network(s) you are connecting to, it is a good idea to test this out with a known good MAC rather than randomizing it right away.
To change the MAC, we need to run the command:
# ip link set dev eth0 address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
Where any 6-byte value will suffice for 'XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX'.
The final step is to bring the network interface back up. This can be accomplished by running the command:
# ip link set dev eth0 up
If you want to verify that your MAC has been spoofed, simply run
ip link show eth0 again and check the value for 'link/ether'. If it worked, 'link/ether' should be whatever address you decided to change it to.
Spoofing the MAC address
With netcfg
Put the following line in your netcfg profile to have it spoof your MAC address when it's started:
PRE_UP='macchanger -e wlan0'
You may have to replace
wlan0 with your interface name.
Systemd Unit
Same thing with systemd:
[Unit] Description=MAC address change %I Before=dhcpcd@%i.service [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/usr/sbin/ip link set dev %i address 36:aa:88:c8:75:3a ExecStart=/usr/sbin/ip link set dev %i up [Install] WantedBy=network.target
You may have to edit this file if you do not use dhcpcd. Note: This works without netcfg. If you are using netcfg, see above.

There are lots of proud moments as a parent. Some of them are skill based, those moments when you realize your kid is the only one who scored a goal in the soccer game, or when you hear your 5 year old sing harmony for the first time. Those are great moments, call the grandparents moments, point your child in that direction moments. Then there are proud moments for character based reasons. These really are the deeply and truly satisfying ones. Like maybe you've done something right with your little people. Maybe they get it. Maybe they understand that they are here to contribute to the world and make it better, more than they take from it and hurt each other.
I had such a moment last week. Picky Princess, who just turned 6, learned(via organics kids cereal box) that deforestation is causing lemurs in Madagascar to lose their homes. 22 of the 70 species of lemurs are endangered because of it. She was (rightly) horrified. And determined that she MUST do something to save the lemurs. I told her I would help her in any way and to let me know how she thought we could save them. I even offered suggestions: lemonade stand, benefit concert…But nope, she had already decided, BAKE SALE.
So thanks to social media, and our generous friends at Cornerstone Music Cafe who hosted us, we had to bake about 5 trillion cupcakes this past weekend. Ok it was 600. It was a wonderful day. Picky Princess gave her monologue, over and over, about how we need to save the lemurs. We baked and sold and baked and sold. Thank you to my beautiful friends who supported my beautiful activist child. Between all day friends and family who stopped by with coffee or to lick icing bowls, to late night friends who stopped by to drink wine with me when I was still baking at midnight…it definitely reminded me that…it takes a Village.
All in all, $300 or so was raised to save the lemurs. We will be sending a cheque to the Lemur Conservation Foundation. And I probably won't bake cupcakes for a while.

LISA: Let's start at the top. What impressed you most with the people?FARREL: I was impressed with the friendliness of the people we met. Martin and Grace, leaders of the church in Mongu, were so hospitable. They fed us dinner for three nights and insured we felt at home. When anyone new came into the room, they always stopped and greeted us.
LISA: What about the highlights?FARREL: The boat cruise was incredible. We saw an elephant up close and it was amazing to watch him eat and use his trunk to slap the grass against his sides. The game drive and animals were also a highlight as well as high tea at Victoria Falls Hotel. It was a very special way to celebrate my birthday.
LISA: And the most difficult part of the trip?
FARREL: The scariest part of the trip was when we had to drive at night.
FARREL: I also didn't like feeling dirty all the time. Especially in Mongu where everything is sand.
LISA: What touched you the most about the people in regards to ministry?
FARREL: How they praised God. They were full of movement when they sang. Their clapping and dancing expressed such an excitement for God. You could see their love for God in their eyes even when I couldn't understand the words.
LISA: Anything else that made an impression on you?
FARREL: We went to a traditional, village wedding and it was very unique. When I first walked in and saw the bride and groom's depressed demeanor, I thought they'd had a fight. They looked so unhappy. Then I learned that it was tradition to not smile. Instead, the bride and groom had to bow their heads and appear sad. In the past the girls would be taken away from their family by the groom on the day of the wedding not knowing anything about it. The sad demeanor was a part of the tradition. It was a very strange thing to view.
LISA: What was most surprising to you on the trip?
FARREL: The night in the village, when we camped out, wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Still, we had no running water, no electricity, and no toilet facilities. They had rigged a shower and hung up blankets around it in a circle where we could stand on rocks and wash. The stars that night, though, were unbelievable.
SANDY: Without a doubt. I was so impressed with the stars and to see the southern hemisphere and with its brilliance was incredible.
LISA: Thank you so much for sharing. I know that a number of people have told me how much they've enjoyed following your journey.
