Consumer Rankings
On-line booksellers have changed the way I decide which books to buy. Not only have they made it possible for me to get most books within two to three days, but they have also given me a means of comparison shopping previously unavailable to me. If I am thinking of buying a book, I immediately look to see what others have written about it. In most cases, these evaluations clinch the deal, convincing me to buy a certain book instead of its competition.
I have been thinking more about such systems since my recent move to Modi'in, a new Israeli city halfway between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Just before I moved to Modi'in, I was asked to take over a small mailing list for residents of Modi'in. The list gives people a chance to share local announcements and ideas related to life in Modi'in.
Soon after becoming the list administrator, I realized that subscribers often asked for recommendations, from doctors to lawn services to after-school activities. Normally, an e-mail list administrator who sees such constant repetitions will prepare a FAQ, a list of common questions and their answers. But recommendations are extremely subjective, and one person's favorite barber may be someone else's nightmare.
This month, we will look at a set of CGI programs I wrote to allow list subscribers to enter and rank their favorite products and services in town. Because my web space provider does not offer mod_perl, I had to use the CGI standard for writing my programs.
This "ranking" system, as I call it, consists of three CGI programs written in Perl, which use a relational database for back-end storage. (These listings are not printed here due to space considerations, but can be downloaded from the LJ FTP site. See Resources.) I have used MySQL, but there is no reason another relational database, such as PostgreSQL or Oracle, could not be substituted for it. Some of the SQL syntax might have to be changed in order to fit another database server, but the majority should remain the same.
While the ranking system presented this month is not as sophisticated as the one used by Amazon.com nor as flexible as that used by Epinions.com, it does serve a simple purpose. Moreover, it demonstrates how to produce a simple ranking system, which could easily be extended to produce a rough version of Epinions.com.
As always, the first step in creating a database/web application is to consider how we want to store the information, and then to create the tables in our relational database. In this particular case, we will keep things simple, dividing ranked items into categories, but without any hierarchy representing the categories. We will thus be able to keep all restaurants in the same category, but without any distinction between Italian restaurants and French restaurants. Alternatively, we can create two separate categories for Italian and French restaurants, but then the system will see them as unrelated as barbers and vacuum-cleaner salesmen.
We will also associate a name and e-mail address with each ranking. It might be more elegant to place user names in a separate table and refer to them with a numeric key. However, we are less interested in tracking users than in making it possible to find useful consumer information.
Given all this, I decided to implement the ranking system with three tables: RankCategories, RankItems and Rankings. RankCategories, as its name implies, contains the categories into which the items are sorted, and can be defined as follows:
CREATE TABLE RankCategories ( category_id MEDIUMINT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, category_name VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL, category_description TEXT NULL, UNIQUE(category_name) );
Notice how each category will have a unique category_id, allowing us to refer to it by number alone. By using the AUTO_INCREMENT feature, MySQL can automatically set this number for us, ensuring that it is unique. For a small web site, a MEDIUMINT is large enough, ranging from 0 to 16,777,215. A large site might eventually have more than 17 million rankings, in which case a larger size, such as INT or BIGINT, might be a good idea.
We also want to ensure that no two categories can have the same name, and thus add a unique constraint to the category_name column as well. Each category can then have some descriptive text associated with it, which is placed in category_description.
The items to be ranked are placed in a similar table, RankItems:
CREATE TABLE RankItems ( item_id MEDIUMINT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, category_id MEDIUMINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL, item_name VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL, item_description TEXT NULL, UNIQUE(item_name) );
Once again, each item has a unique value in item_id, and the item name is guaranteed to be unique, thanks to the UNIQUE constraint. However, RankItems adds a category_id column, identifying the category in which this item sits.
RankItems defines the items available to be ranked, but does not store the grades. That role is assigned to the Rankings table, defined as follows:
CREATE TABLE Rankings ( ranking_id MEDIUMINT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, item_id MEDIUMINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL, ranker_name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL, email VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL, entry_datetime TIMESTAMP(8) NOT NULL, comments TEXT NULL, rank TINYINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL, UNIQUE(item_id, email) );
Like the other tables, Rankings gives each ranking a unique primary key, ranking_id. None of our applications use ranking_id, and it is possible that its inclusion in the table definition wastes some space on disk and in memory. However, such a primary key will make it easier to refer to items in Rankings if and when we build additional applications for the ranking system.
Rankings then contains an item_id column, which refers back to the primary key of the same name in RankItems. Because each item is in a single category and RankItems contains a category_id column, there is no need to name the category in Rankings as well.
We ask each ranking user to provide his or her full name and e-mail address. This information is displayed next to a ranking, in order to give it a slightly more human touch. In addition, some people's opinions will carry more weight than others, especially in a small community of users, so it is worthwhile to identify opinions by name.
The ranking consists of a numeric rank between 0 and 10, stored in a TINYINT. It is accompanied by optional (NULL) comments, stored in a TEXT column, where the user can elaborate on his or her ideas.
To ensure each user can rank each product only once, we have MySQL require the combination of item ID and e-mail address to be unique in the Rankings table. By combining the two in this way, the database itself will reject any attempt to enter two rows in which the combination of e-mail address and item_id are identical.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

About A/C Compressors
In most cars the A/C compressor is not only used for cooling in the summer, but also used to defrost the windshield in winter. While some may be able to live without A/C, it can be very difficult to see in winter without a functioning defroster.
The A/C system is one of the more complicated systems in the car, requiring special tools and knowledge, thus many DIY'ers will go the DIFM route (do it for me). Many pro's will install our parts, but we advise that you check with them first.
Consider replacing the A/C drier at the same time. The drier is designed to keep moisture out of the system and has a set "capacity" to remove that moisture. If you are investing in a new compressor, consider a new drier as well so as to be sure system moisture does not result in a premature failure of your new compressor.
Another consideration is compressor oil. Some compressors come with oil in them already, but never assume the quantity of oil included is correct for your application, because some compressors are suitable for multiple applications (and some come with just enough oil in them to prevent corrosion during shipping). ALWAYS double check and refer to your repair manual for the proper quantity.
We offer two compressor oils for your consideration, one with a UV dye to help locate leaks.
With UV Dye - SKU number 351214201 is from Behr and is a PAO Synthetic Oil with UV Dye. As a result it will not absorb moisture and should you get any leaks they will be easy to locate with the dye.
Without UV Dye - SKU number 351214031 is also from Behr, also a PAO Synthetic oil, but does not have the UV Dye, thus it is less expensive.

Short-Term Missions - FAQs
How do I apply for a short term missions trip?
Apply online at
Do I need to be a member or regular attendee of Redeemer?
No, but if the trip has too many applicants, preference will be given to members and regular attendees.
Do I need to have any previous missions experience?
No. You do not have to have any previous experience. Some trips require specific skills or professional knowledge (e.g. jazz muscians or medical background). Other than that these trips are open to anyone who would like to apply.
What do you do on a missions trip?
Each trip is different so you will need to contact the missions coordinator to find out the specifics. Generally we seek to serve church plants around the world. This could involve using your God-given skills (e.g. using your finance background to lead seminars for business men and women; doctors practicing medicine) or a variety of other activities like teaching English classes, serving at an orphanage, leading a Vacation Bible School (VBS), meeting new people and talking to them about their faith, etc.
What kind of preparation is provided?
Team preparation takes place over at least five weekly meetings leading up to the trip (potentially more depending on the nature of the trip). We cover topics such as support raising, sharing our testimony, and cross-cultural training. Attendance is required in order to build team unity and receive the necessary material prior to your trip. Team members are expected to be active participants on fundraising events, team socials and prayer meetings. The team can also take part in a group service project through Hope for New York prior to departure. Only a small minority of Redeemer members and attendees are able to go on missions trips each year. The nature of the work makes it a huge privilege to participate in. If you cannot make the commitment of attending the preparation sessions, we ask that you apply again another year.
How do I pay for the trip?
Each team member has the opportunity to raise his or her own financial support in order to go on a short-term missions trip. While this task may seem daunting, it is a unique opportunity to see God provide in ways that will strengthen the faith of those going on the trip. Each person will be thoroughly equipped and prepared in how to raise support. This is typically done through writing letters, asking people to contribute toward the trip, or through corporate matching gifts.
How is the cost determined?
Each team budget can contain 30 or more major expense categories. Some of these include: airfare; vehicle rental and gasoline; housing costs; food; faxes; shipping costs; visas and work permits; training materials and speakers; ministry materials for VBS, youth programs, sports evangelism, adult discipleship, construction materials; and much more. Every effort is made to minimize costs without jeopardizing the quality, effectiveness, or safety of the ministry.
Is financial support available from the church?
We have found that most of the time if prayer letters are sent out on schedule and at least 50 copies are mailed, all the funds come in. The church does not provide finances to help cover the amount you have to raise for the trip.
Are people's gifts tax-deductible?
What if more money comes in for me than what I need?
Throughout this ministry you will function as part of a team. Your effectiveness is determined not just from an individual standpoint, but also as a team. Also, each person's ability to raise funds varies depending on who they know, how many people they know, their ability to communicate effectively, etc. Therefore, since the goal is to fund the entire team, any monies given beyond what you will need will go to support other team members who are struggling with their funds.
What if less money comes in for me?
Sometimes God uses a serious lack of support as an indicator that a person should not go on a particular project. The guidelines we follow is that a participant must have 100% raised 30 days before departure. If this does not occur, please discuss it with your team leader and you will be given the option of paying the difference or postponing your involvement. As previously mentioned, any surplus funds raised by other team members will go to help support team members who are under-supported.
If I decide to cancel my involvement in the trip can I get my money back?
According to Redeemer's interpretation of the tax codes/laws, tax-deductible contributions are non-refundable. These funds will, however, stay in the short term missions fund and assist other Redeemer sponsored trips. If you cancel your involvement after travel documents are purchased (airfare, visas, etc.) you will be expected to cover all of the fees, penalties and loses incurred at that point.
How many people will be on the short team missions team?
Typically anywhere from five to 20 people participate.
Will I need shots?
Most of the places we go to do recommend immunizations. In some instances we may go to a country that "requires" immunization against a particular disease. If an immunization is required, you must have proof of that immunization to enter the country or to return to the United States. For the most up to date information on what is needed for the country you will visit contact Centers for Disease Control (
) or a local travel clinic. Your team leader will provide this information as well.
What is a visa?
A visa is an entry requirement required by a foreign government in addition to your passport. Not all foreign governments require a visa. Your team leader will check the Foreign Entry Requirements for the country you plan to visit. A visa may be stamped on your passport or a paper visa may be affixed to your passport. If a visa is required, we'll provide the appropriate visa application forms for you to complete. Most visa applications require two-three passport-size photos as well. The visa fees for each team member is included in the team budget. [Note: if you are not a U.S. citizen, please make sure that the team leader and the Missions Department know this information. It may mean a different visa process for you.] If you do not have passport, we recommend that you begin the process immediately. Complete passport information can be found on
. Most countries require that travelers' passports not expire within six months of the end of travel. Please check your passport immediately. If it is set to expire within six months at the end of this trip, please begin the process to renew it now.
What about travel insurance?
Basic emergency medical evacuation/transportation; trip cancellation; lost baggage, accidental death and dismemberment coverage is included in the team budget.

you may have noticed from previous posts that at the first sign of any slightly decent weather, i'm jumping up and down with glee, running to the nearest open space to soak up the rays, and making healthy summer recipes in the kitchen.
as a sydneysider living in london, i am constantly yearning for sunshine and heat and so i spent last week, with its practically uninterrupted blue skies, high temps and general gloriousness, in a state of utter bliss.
i miraculously managed to time leaving the office humdrum with the heat wave, and so have spent the past few days making the most of it with any on holiday/unemployed/chucking a sickie friend i could find.
on monday sarah and i met in green park to tourist-watch, gossip and top up her pre-holiday tan. she was heading to st tropez for a few days, the lucky thing, and wanted to ensure a nice base coat before departing. there was to be no jetsetting to the south of france for me, so i have been running amok in east london, making the most of my local sun traps.
with the temperature rising, i've been filling up on fresh fruit and mango sorbet, and serving my favourite steak recipe for dinner. for lighter fare on those really hot days, i whipped up a peach, tomato and goats curd salad.
using really good, fresh produce from my local organic fruit and veg market, i sliced up my tomato and peach, crumbled in the goat's curd and made up a balsamic vinegar reduction on the stove top with a little sugar, allowed it to cool and poured the syrupy, fragrant dressing over the salad. simple, light and so flavoursome.
the following day was even hotter and sunnier than the last. i caught up with an old friend in town for the olympics, annamay, at one of my favourite east london rooftop bars, the boundary in shoreditch. we caught up on old times over a pitcher or two of singapore slings and nibbles in the scorching sunshine.
day four and the blue skies and sunshine were holding up, so i spent the day sunbathing in victoria park with a girlfriend. we spent hours soaking up the sun and listening to the opening ceremony dress rehearsals taking place just a stone's throw away at the stadium. we got very excited to overhear the philharmonic orchestra playing chariots of fire – which we found out on friday night was to be the hilarious mr bean skit. i used the opportunity to bring out my favourite new accessory, a daisy chain head band, which to me just sings of summer.
on friday the clouds returned, but it didn't dampen our party spirit as we kicked off the olympics in very rowdy – and australian – style. more on that to come. i'm looking out the window as i type this and it's – hurrah – blue sky again, so i'll be off now to go do a happy dance. how do you celebrate the sun?
we'd love to hear from you – tweet us @peanut_buttered or @andreamagrath or you can follow us on facebook here

And That Happened
Posted by Craig CalcaterraIndians 12, Red Sox 3: The Tribe's bats had a nice night with Yan Gomes, Mark Reynolds and Michael Bourn all racking up multiple RBI. Oh, and you may or may not have heard this, but Terry Francona, currently the Indians' manager, used to be the Red Sox manager and this was his first time back in Boston since he was fired and some people were talking about it and stuff. Kinda surprised me, too!
Angels 5, Royals 4: Trout, Pujols and Trumbo hit homers. The Angels have won five in a row. The Royals have lost 13 of 18. It's almost like that great spring training record they had didn't have a ton of predictive value for the long haul of the regular season.
Tigers 7, Twins 6: Miguel Cabrera had his sixth homer in four games. Later Jim Leyland screwed up and had Torii Hunter bunt in front of Cabrera, leaving first base open and thus taking the bat out of the most dangerous hitter in baseball's hands when Ron Gardenhire walked him. Thankfully for Leyland Prince Fielder is pretty dangerous himself, singled and drove in the winning run.
Blue Jays 12, Orioles 6: Orioles starter Kevin Gausman -- that kid who used to eat powdered donuts between every inning -- had a rude welcome to the majors, Edwin Encarnacion hit a grand slam and J.P. Arencibia homered and drove in four.
Pirates 4, Cubs 2: Four in a row for Pittsburgh. And 11 of 13 overall. The anti-Royals, I guess. Andrew McCutchen had three hits and two RBIs.

- 21 Jun 2013 Ann Sweden
- " Ridiculous. I made my reservation and cancelled at least a week in advance. The original e-mail said the balance was due o/a, nothing more. I was e-mailed very late (day before my schedule time at the hotel, when I no longer had e-mail availability and was told I had to call the hotel directly at least 24 hr before my reservation to cancel the stay or pay the entire amount.

"Spirit of Equus" art at Kirk-Bear Canyon Library
Tuesday, July 31st, 2012Opening August 1 for the entire month is Wilberta Moulthrop's acrylic & oil pastel paintings at Kirk-Bear Canyon Library, 8959 E. Tanque Verde Rd.. A reception will be held on Saturday August 4, 1 to 3 p.m. in the large meeting room.
Artist's Statement:
This is a show in acrylic and oil pastels about Horses, their Passion, Courage, Beauty, Strength, and Pure Magic. Horses have been my unrelenting muse and a challenge on every level to living my best life.
Horses inspire, calm, motivate and raise our spirits. Art is a powerful way to reach our fellow human beings, and share the inate beauty of our spirits. The creation and sharing of one's art is a gift and a source of joy and comfort to mankind.
My passion for horses started with my first reading of "Black Beauty", and is continuing into my golden years. I own a Paso Fino mare and ride frequently. I still feel those magic endorphins when I am even near a horse.
As someone once said "the outside of a horse is good for the insides of a man". I am happy to share with you what is inside of me.
You can reach the artist at email@example.com or 520-616-7505.

Yahoo's purchase of hot blogging platform Tumblr, which it announced Monday, was big news for the hundreds of millions of folks who already post to the site or check in to follow those who do.
But the $1.1 billion buyout will also no doubt introduce Tumblr to lots of folks not yet wholly familiar with it, even if their Web searches for viral memes and cute kittens have already landed them there unawares.
So, here are some facts you need to know about Tumblr (which, in the grand tradition of Web startups everywhere, shed its "e" early on).
It's big and getting bigger
Founded in 2007, Tumblr has stayed hot on a Web that can be unforgiving once it decides you're yesterday's news.
While its numbers aren't comparable to social-networking giants like Facebook, they're certainly enough to put hundreds of millions more eyeballs on the ads Yahoo serves up as its bread and butter.
Let's face it -- when the White House signs up for an account, you know you're onto something.
To wit (according to the company):
Number of Tumblr blogs: 105 million
Monthly visitors: 300 million
Posts per second: 900
New signups every day: 120,000
It loves an animated GIF
If there was a ground zero for the rebirth of the Web's beloved video loops, it was Tumblr.
Once relegated to the scrap heap of Web culture (we miss you, Peanut Butter Jelly Time), the past couple of years have reminded us of an enduring truth: It's fun to watch a cute duck, a bouncy Olympian or "bros" watching basketball over and over and over again.
Tumblr's quick, visual-friendly publishing platform is perfect for GIFs. Nobody expects a 10,000-word essay. Make us laugh and all is well.
Oh, and how did Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer choose to make the big announcement? On her own Tumblr. With an animated GIF.
They've figured out mobile
Our society is becoming a mobile one and increasingly, phones and tablets are the preferred portals for people to access the Web.
For example, more people now access Facebook via mobile than on the traditional Web (a fact the site has had to aggressively address to stay relevant and make stockholders happy).
But while some desktop titans are having to adjust, Tumblr is already living comfortably in that mobile world.
More than half of Tumblr's 300 million users access it with its mobile app, and that crowd does so an average of seven times a day.
But while most any corner of the Web that allows user posts is bound to have its share of naughty bits, Tumblr has become a go-to spot for adult-entertainment industry types and amateur smut-lovers alike. (The company, of course, doesn't say what percentage of its site is adult content.)

With an unexpected announcement from Warner stating that the company would issue its movies on Blu-ray, the high-definition format war is over for many. A new definition of Blu-ray is coming up, namely "Blu-ray 2.0". The 2.0 profile brings picture-in-picture and online functionality to Blu-ray discs; these movies will have "BD-Live" stickers on the case so you know certain features will require 2.0-compliant players. Currently, the Playstation 3 is the only Blu-ray 2.0-compatible player available. Below is a summary of the different requirements for the several Blu-ray standards: 1.0 is the launch profile, and secondary audio and video decoders are optional, as is local storage and network connectivity. The majority of standalone players fit into this category. 1.1 is the newer profile, and to take advantage of these discs, players need a secondary audio and video decoder to handle picture-in-picture, as well as at least 256MB of local storage for content. 2.0 is the profile of the future, requiring the two secondary decoders, 1GB of local storage for updates and content, and an Internet connection. Source: Arstechnica
Excpet that old players can still play the movies, just not the extra features that the 2.0 standard brings and Sony didn't implement the new features, they are just part of committy that decided on it as a whole.
so its not like beta max well thats good to konw thanks newteckie i hope this war ends soon so i can pick one up for my mitsu 65" 1080P set
I just gave up and bought a PS3. I bought it mostly for the games, I only actually have 1 Blu-Ray movie and it came with the system. However, I will start using it as a Blu-Ray player eventually, and I figure someone is bound to figure out a way to connect a HD-DVD drive to it eventually. Now that I think about it, it might already be possible via linux, I'll have to do some research on that.
On the note of the war, I personally think Blue Ray Disk will come out on top, Microsoft just shouldnt have another monopoly on another electronic type thing. And i also think that HDDVD thing is possible with linux, i read it somewere awhile back
This war is already over, Bluray is the clear winner and all of the publishers are coming out and saying it. Right now, Toshiba is just hurting people by keeping their product on the market. People are going to be pissed when their player goes obsolete just because Toshiba won't stop production because they are in debt. :shadedshu
i have the movie "sunshine" and it has the picture in picture function which is pretty freakin cool. blu-ray and PS3 for the win!
it is, and you can actually use the specific hd-dvd player that comes with the xbox360 just load up linux on your ps3, load up some drivers and hook up with hd-dvd player via usb to the ps3. there are a few howtos out there for the specifics.
Blu-Ray can use any codec, be it regular MPEG-2, VC-1 or MPEG-4 AVC (H.264). Since the latter is most commonly acknowledged to be the best codec available ATM, I'm afraid M$ doesn't really win in that department either.
Really this war has been and is about Microsoft vs Sony... As companies go I much prefer Microsoft and would gladly back HD-DVD. But I have abstained from this battle because ultimately Microsoft wants to get rid of disc formats as well as Sony for their next consoles/home entertainment devices. Really both sides are fighting to see what sort of product customers want. I had some friends who adamantly believed that HD-DVD was just a DVD with better quality (which it is essentially) and believed that Blu-Ray was some sort of new technology that was completely different, yeah it soo didn't make sense that I can't articulate what he said! But to me it voiced the opinions of the average joe consumer to me and that is they don't need complex stuff they are happy with what they have and if it looks better than so be it but apparently Blu-Ray is the future because that's the one with the new name..
I think I will wait a bit longer,to make sure Blue-ray is the clear winner.And hopefully for the prices to easy down a bit more.
Dude, I so have a freaking PS3. The older Blu Ray players by Samsung suck a mother. They have no USB port, such as the BD-P1000, my freaking queer paralyzed Uncle has that and I have to burn discs since his little Blu Ray is gayyyy and has no USB.
Blu-ray owns 75% percent of the market. Blockbuster and Target are blu-ray exclusive. Wal-mart is now advertising Blu-ray. Blu-ray has already won, Toshiba is just hurting the market for those buying now.
VC1 is only used in some of the movies that came out on 25 gig disks and it isnt as good as AVC codec so hopefully VC1 will be phased out.
the first blu-ray movies was a train whreck, hehe they used crappy master transfers and mpeg2 as codec lol blu-ray is also more DRM infected than HD DVD BD got BD+, Region Code and AACS HD DVD only have AACS after the specs yes Blu-Ray 2.0 is HD DVD 1.0, sony was late hehe
You mean Sony paid off everyone. (They offered $500MM to Warner Bros). This sounds a lot like what Intel has been doing with their joint advertising rebates to OEMs that are exclusive to Intel. Well if AMD can't get a lawsuit to stick then I doubt Microsoft and Toshiba can either. This type of approach does not allow the consumer to decide but rather $ony decides for you. I can't wait to watch Sony jack the prices on the discs and the players so that when you go to rent from Blockbusted or Netflix, you will have to pay an HD fee if you want BR discs.
Its not like Microsoft invented HD DVD it just supports it. Sony actually developed Blu Ray! I dont really care about HD format Disks really they dont effect me at all, i dont have a hd tv tey dont have games on them, i can buy a new hard drive for storage and it costs a lot. Its like they are forcing you to buy a PS3 and have Blu Ray. I mean look at their other products pretty much no one wants them i mean they have quality tvs but at that price you could think about getting a decent projector, they really only have decent mobile phones now and thats because they go for a feature packed low price mobile. Onto Blu Ray how does it support 2.0? what was it just a system update? Was it always 2.0? I dunno if it has always been 2.0 then why is it news. Onto Sony PS3 owners get to fuck no one else except you give a fuck about the HD format war, its not like Blu Ray has all the movies as exclusives. Most film companies just want to keep their options open by supporting both because its economical to do that. IMO neither will really take off and it will be digital downloads that rule the next era, no one really needs that much space for a movie so i guess when disks get bigger they will just be used for storage. BTW more and more rental stores have been closing down and i think that its because its just better sense to buy the movie and watch it as many times as you like rather than pay half the price of owning the movie. Theres about 1 rental shop near me and its pfft in the town miles away. No one wants to rent a dvd and half to go to town to take it back, its a fucking trek on the bus mate. BLAH BLAH BLAH BLU RAY WHAT soon as one format becomes the standerd dvds will be so cheap i will be able to buy 4 for the price of a blu ray or hd dvd, OH by the way theres hardly any Blu Ray in Glasgow so dont give me shit about it being everywhere.

Why Aisle 5 in supermarkets is still a no-go area for Mark Palmer
We've all taken a sound whacking from our parents at supermarkets, haven't we? I mean as children, not now.
Well, anybody who's with me on the wrong side of 40 will know what I'm talking about. Anybody younger would have been carted off to Child Welfare before the box of Weetbix even began its downward arc in bum-seeking offensive mode.
Cape Town comedian Mark Palmer, who will be giving Stanford a bellyful of laughs this weekend, is fascinated by how parental discipline has changed over the years. And, as always, he sees the funny side.
"Supermarket hidings were so common [when he was little] that some of these shops even announced the 'hiding' over the intercoms: 'there's a light hiding in aisle 5, a light hiding in aisle 5′. Parents with kids would walk their kids past aisle 5 as a warning against misbehaving!"
You can expect this (the joke, not a light hiding) and a whole lot more if you behave yourselves and buy your tickets quicksticks for one of two shows Mark's putting on at Oom Steyn's pub in Stanford this weekend. Tip: Friday's just about booked out so best you plan on getting in for the laughfest on Saturday.
The people to approach for your tickets are Stanford events organisers Vanessa Marawa (yes, we're inundated with celebs here in The Special Village) and Antoinette Younghusband. Do that by e-mailing email@example.com or phoning 082 555 1154. Now listen up. The June 24 and 25 shows start at 7pm and Vanessa and Antoinette are asking you to be a good girl or boy and pitch up at 6.30. Or expect to be taken around to the local Spar for a light hiding. Don't say I didn't warn you.

A plea for funding by Wikileaks neglected to put the e-mail address of the potential donors in the BCC: field, revealing the addresses of a set of 58 donors. True to its principles, Wikileaks has now posted the email on its own site.
Read the whole story
Maybe they can have a wikileaks telethon? |
Financial stability? What are you talking about? How does anything in this story have any relevance to the sites financial stability? Do you have some point you are evidently failing to make?
To be fair to the "Mormons" of the "Mormons and Scientologists" bit, it wasn't a question of practice (the document itself is rather boring as most people discovered) but rather of copyright.
0mega: the e-mail was apparently an emergency request for funds. I believe Wired's writeup on it included that; surprised to see it wasn't mentioned here.
Your surprise surprises me. |
Worse things have happened -
I gotta say, the name seems vaguely familiar, but I really have no idea who they are or what they've leaked. I may have assumed they were an "Hollywood/Inside Edition" gossip site. I gotta admit I'm not terribly well-informed but I'm addicted to Ars and I yet I don't know about wikileaks-- Should I get an RSS from Slashdot again to stay hip? I kinda abandoned them after the phrase "Slashdot has jumped the shark" jumped the shark.
This seems like more of a calculated slip-up than anything else. Perhaps the work of a rogue employee. The publicity generated by the mistake, coupled with the quick response by the company itself in archiving the information for all to see is, if nothing else, a great advertisement.
Wait, are you seriously proposing a conspiracy theory about conspiracy theorists? That's awesome. |

About Tool
Tool works toward new album (Updated April 10, 2013)
Dark underground metal was the basis for the kind of rock music that the industry came know from Tool. Well, that and the tortured angst that helped them take the industry by storm in 1993. That was when Tool landed a slot on the third Lollapalooza tour and never looked back. Their debut album, "Undertow," was just the beginning for this group of guys making music in a post-Nirvana world.
In 1996, America said goodbye to alt rock and Tool was the benefactor. With a primarily metal-oriented sound, their sophomore album "Ænima," moved them on to bigger and better things – namely, a co-headlining slot with Korn and a tour that carried them well into the next year. And this, of course, was when experimentation and artistic flair really found their way into Tool's music
The album "Lateralus" (2001) marked the beginning of the critical acclaim and commercial success Tool would begin to achieve. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, helped the band to a Grammy Award for which they famously thanked Satan in their acceptance speech, and continued to grow what would often be referred to as the band's insane and devoted cult following
You can't really say Tool has been on an extended hiatus, even though its last full-length release was "10,000 Days" in 1996. Sure, they've taken breaks, but they've never broken up. A 2009 summer tour kicked off about the same time they began working on a new album, and even though the process isn't yet complete… it's getting there.
In January 2013, the band stated it was "over half done" with the upcoming project, with conflicting opinions among Tool's members on whether it would actually be released this year.
About Tool
Founded in 1990, multiple Grammy Award winning Alt/Art/Heavy Metal Rock Band Tool has continued to delight its passionate fan base with a body of work that pounds out its raw yet refined and melodic messages of passionate individuality and positive integrity. Tools' complex but melodic musical structures and emotive lyrical content has at times bordered on controversial. Although controversy has trailed the band throughout its storied career, they remain true to their vision of elementally eruptive sound matched to a unique, artistically adventurous sensibility, one that is too often lost in the musical corporate jungle and drowned out by the bottom line.

The blurring of good and evil, and the theme of fake gentlemen being worse than outright evil ppl (or so labeled by the so called gentlemen), were prominent in HSDS, DGSD, ADS and SPW (and probably DOMD as well, though I'm less familiar). We see a little bit of it in ROCH as well:
-YG and GX were radicals and on the good side -> first time such character showed up in JY universe?
-Their friends, like the ones who came to GX's birthday, were also considered too weird by some, but were shown to be mostly good and upright.
-Certain people from Quanzhen Jiao, a good sect, acted despicably.
In LOCH, HYS is about all I can recall that kinda fits this. In BXJ, JINSHE LANGJUN Xia Xueyi might fit this. The other Pre-ROCH novels, I'm not as familiar with.
Were there more such characters in Pre-ROCH novels?

A pedestrian fee, an outrageous Tweet & Caroline Wong
What students are talking about today (January 25th)
1. "Alcohol overconsumption = sexual assaults," Tweeted University of New Brunswick Security last week. Anyone who has followed the issue of sexual assault lately can imagine the indignation that followed. Lee Thomas of The Brunswickan put it this way: most reported sexual assaults have male perpetrators, "so I would expect UNB Security's "Males = sexual assaults" Tweet any day now." Except, of course, that would be a crazy generalization. Thomas goes further pointing out that "it's not the victim's responsibility to ensure that they don't get attacked; it's the rapist's responsibility to ensure that he or she does not rape." He's obviously right that it's wrong to blame the victim. A better Tweet would have been "Alcohol overconsumption = occasional bad decisions," although that's a separate issue.

Valentine's Day may be over, but that doesn't mean wearing a little red is out of the question.
A new trend that's recently caught our eye are celebs wearing red on their feet, and I don't mean those famous red bottoms (aka Louboutins). Celebs guys like Usher and Kanye West were recently seen sporting red shoes to liven up their outfits.
Kanye went for a a black and red combo in a pair of Nikes (below, left), and while while out hand and hand with Kim, opted for a pair in full red (below, right).
It's no secret Usher loves the color red….seen here on a photo set (below, left) and while traveling (below, right).
Swizz Beatz added red flavor to his footwear while performing on stage (below). I wonder if Alicia Keys had anything to do with it?
And Baron Davis also decided to complete his dapper look with some red sneakers (on and off the court).
Moral of the story is…wear RED! Whether its your shoes, pants, or shirt, it looks great and makes for a more exciting outfit! Not to mention, it keeps you looking sharp! Maybe once St. Patrick's Day comes around you can switch it up to green, but until then GO RED!

Maybe the gentlemen of the Mossad can pay him a visit.
The Fascists, Socialists and Nazis are not FAR Right by any means. Staff at Reuters dumbing down the readers/country as best they can. Or maybe they don´t know either...that is entirely possible.
Clever how the playground girls at Reuters equate "far right" with rounding up Jews. Strategy works, too; far left gained full control of the media long ago, uses it as nothing more than a propaganda organ to further their cause.
FTA: Gyongyosi, 35, is the son of a diplomat who grew up mostly in the Middle East and Asia -- Egypt, Iraq, Afghanistan and India -- and whose office is decorated by Iranian and Turkish souvenirs.now I understand. It´s perfectly clear...
#2 is right. All these authoritarian groups (and add the communists for good measure) seek to find a scapegoat to unify the masses behind them. Unfortunately, the Jews are a small but successful group, so many base people resent them and are willing to follow a leader who blames the Jews for their troubles. If you look at the American public now, which side of the political spectrum is the most anti-Jew and anti-Israel. It´s definitely the Left, with those the most extreme left-wing begin the most virulent and open in their hatred.
Vienna was just having anit semite protests, now Hungary?.....Shades of WWII and very chilling
Do to him what should have been done to Hitler. This is appalling for anyone in government!
Far right? Yeah, right.
This group is a friend and ally of the Iranian mullahs. Nationalism doesn´t equate with far right. There´s no more nationalistic country than Communist China.Notice they´ve already formed their own brown shirts.
It is all well enough to consider if the Europeans are acting like it´s the 1930´s. But more importantly we need to ask ourselves if WE are acting like America did in the 1930´s by again ignoring a rising specter of anti-Semiticism.
The iniquitous alliance of Hitler and the Grand Mufti decades ago before WW2 is again rearing it´s ugly head, and in Hungary of all places. Immediate dispatch of the Gyongyosi fellow is recommended and reminders to Hungary of the miseries they suffered at Hitler´s expense and afterwards by the Reds.This is an echoing nightmare.
Jew bashing is just so Hitleresque...
Liberals do it all the time, #12.
Kinda scary isn´t it ? It´s almost like reading a pre- WW2 history.
" Gyongyosi, 35, is the son of a diplomat who grew up mostly in the Middle East and Asia -- Egypt, Iraq, Afghanistan and India -- and whose office is decorated by Iranian and Turkish souvenirs "Sounds more like an Islamo Fascist not a far right winger....
Thank you #s 2 & 5...
Reminds me of Rev. Martin Niemoller.It´s a shame that the freedoms our forefounders bought with their lives gives way to those that hate US.
The whole Left-Right political spectrum construct was flawed from the start. The real spectrum goes from 100% Totalitarianism on the left all the way to 100% Freedom on the right. Now total freedom is not good either, because it would mean anarchy and every person for himself, no structure at all. Most of us are in the center right of this spectrum and the communists, fascists, nazis, socialists and lib/progs are all over on the more totalitarian side of the spectrum. Their differences are simply a matter of degree.Girl´s Hubby

Crabby Appleton is a faint crack system that travels up the right wall of the Crabby Appleton Gully. Start on a large ledge just below a traversing line of huecos. Pitch 1: Climb up and then right along the huecos, eventually gaining a crack heading upward. Ascend the crack to a stance. 130', 5.7 Pitch 2: Climb the crack, pass an intermediate belay stance with a bad bolt, climbing to a better stance with a bolt and a pin. 190', 5.8 Pitch 3: Continue up the crack, following the corner on the left as it arches up and left. When it begins to arch severely, step right onto the face and follow it to the ledge above. 120', 5.9 Pitch 4: Climb right 20', then head up a faint crack system through an overhang and follow it to the summit. 120', 5.9 Descent: Walk toward the canyon proper (northwest), following the ridge until some steep 4th class or a short rappel off to the right (east) leads to a gully/ramp system heading back into Crabby Appleton gully. From here, follow the gully for 5-10 minutes back to the base of the route.
Follow the right hand wall of the Crabby Appleton gully up past a small chockstone and a waterfall to the base of a monstrous chockstone. Climb up on the right side of it, squeezing through the top. From here, walk up about 20-30', and make your way to a nice ledge on the right hand side about 20' up.
A good assortment with a focus on the small to medium. A 4" cam comes in handy, but isn't mandatory.
A good route, but pretty spicy, i thought. Rock quality is mediocre to good, and thankfully it's good at the cruxes. The bolts are definitely bad and I strongly suggest linking the second and third pitches as described above to avoid a funky belay. The route gets a 5.9+ in the book, and while I normally defer to the book ratings, 5.9+ is generous for this route, I think. Other routes in the area with the 5.9+ rating are more demanding technically, although this route is definitely not for the budding 5.9 leader!
I don't remember it being too runout where it was hard, except maybe for the final pitch (which I did not lead). Fun route with an easy walk off.
This is a great route, lots of variety. Pitch it out as listed above, you can do this in four pitches instead of the five listed in the books. I agree that 5.9+ is generous and I think the PG rating is unwarranted as we found the protection adequate. However there is still some fluffy rock here and there so use your head before yarding on those chickenheads and plates. I don't get why all the descriptions say to do a long rightward traverse at the start of the climb. We did the direct start and climbed straight up the crack through a small roof at about 5.8 - lots of fun, shouldn't be missed. We roped up at the far right end of the shelf at the base of the route.
I would second the suggestion to do a direct start. It was fun climbing and much easier than we thought at first glance; 5.8 seems about right.
But to the contrary, the p1 traverse is kind of cool. We do not all have to follow Messner and his proverbial drop of water falling from the summit! By the way, I did not see a direct start listed in any of my Red Rocks guidebooks (Swain or Brock). There are several variations listed to many of the pitches, but not the first.
That was Comici with the water drop...
Oops. I stand corrected, Larry!
I thought that this route was really well protected whenever it got a little sketchy. There were a few areas where it was runned out, but that was typically when it got easier. Its something you get use to climbing at RR. It had a lot of fun moves but nothing too difficult. The crux on the 5.9 pitch was not very difficult bc the holds were large at the roof and also going over it. You just had to look for them. We also did the 5.9 variation on pitch 4. This was also very easy. It looks scarry bc you can't see the holds until you get there. The other thing was, pitch 2 and 4 were longer than posted. I had a 70meter rope and we estimated that we used at least 150 feet. Just an FYI. Getting to the route was harder than climbing it. I have the new book and its hard to tell where the route is from the picture. Is far up the gully to the left. You can climb the 5.3 or was it 5.4 up the rock face or walk up the gully to what looks like a large rock fall. There is a cave in there that you can scamper up and it will lead to the start of the 2nd pitch. There is also a repel station here. Just another note, there is a large pine tree where the 1st pitch ends that you can rap down if you don't want to climb down the gully. One word... when you get to be base of the route and you are in the gully, there are a few places you can go cut up to the route
The Crabby Appleton area is so scenic that it makes this 2 star climb worth doing. The approach nearing the route is scrambly, and has some short 4th, and low 5th class moves, and a couple of squeezes through holes to get to the base of the route. We started hiking in the afternoon, which gave us just enough time to do the route (in 4 pitches), and hike out as the sun set. We were in the shade the entire climb this time of year, which was nice. I don't recommend a late start if you're not familiar with the area, as the approach isn't too straightforward. The walk-off descent down the beautiful gully was a breeze (very cruiser by Red Rock standards), and took less than 15 minutes at a casual pace to get back down to the base of the route.

Is Romney's Bain Record a Winning Issue for Obama? >
Obama Camp Shot Itself in the Foot on Bain Capital
The president needs a new plan of attack against Romney, and to get his team on message with it
May 23, 2012
President Obama's "Bain strategy" is dead on arrival. Mitt Romney's tenure at Bain Capital is fair game because it's a central part of his campaign narrative. But the president's off-message surrogates scrambled this offensive before it could leave the editing room.
Obama's team would be much better off coming up with a game-changing, innovative marketing program that rockets his slim lead north by a large margin. It probably thought that what worked for Ted Kennedy in 1994 would work again in 2012. But this isn't 1994. Kennedy's "Bain strategy" saved his Senate run from a bruising loss to upstart Romney because Romney was still in the midst of his private equity career. Not to mention, private equity was considered one of the drivers of the early 1990s recession.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the 2012 campaign.]
The public is concerned with job growth, but attributes high unemployment to the financial crisis, broken government, and the president's weak economic stewardship. Not to mention, the latest polls show that Bain has landed with a thud. Sixty percent of the public sees business experience as a major advantage, and 53 percent haven't even heard of the firm. Unless the president launches a strong and sustained attack on Romney's business career, the GOP candidate has plenty of time to offer voters a more positive account of his experience.
But therein lies the rub. For the president to succeed, he needs to make sure that his message is cohesive and that his surrogates rally around him—an essential component to maximizing the effects of the echo chamber. Newark, N.J. Mayor Corey Booker, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, Ed Rendell, and Harold Ford Jr., have already knocked this missile off target. Their criticism has raised doubts about ads, put the story on the top of the news agenda, and given Republicans a solid defense against them.
The other problem is that the president's campaign made only a $250,000 ad buy in a couple of swing states. GOP super PACs are spending millions to bombard voters with claims that Obama is a business-unfriendly leader who wants to inundate "job creators" with excessive regulation. Unless the president can come up with a new and more brilliant strategy, he's going to continue to squeak by with a hair-width's lead, with an indifferent electorate hesitant to give him a second term.

Ultimate Drives Launches Supercar Tours of Europe
Taking a jaunt though Europe just got a hell of a lot more exciting thanks to Ultimate Drives, a new supercar touring outfit. The company offers a high-octane tour to Switzerland's swank St. Moritz and the neighboring Engadine region, which also takes in the stunning Stelvio pass and crosses the border into Italy. Prices for the tour start at about $1,800 per person, including equally stylish off-road accommodation. The eye-popping autos to choose from include a trio of Ferraris – the F430 Spider, California (above) and 599 GTB – as well as the Aston Martin DB9 Volante, Bentley Continental GTC and Maserati GranCabrio. Starting in July, the Ferrari 458 Italia and Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG will also be available for speed junkies. The round trip includes over six hours of driving, as well as lunch en route and a trek to one of the region's famed glaciers. More budget-conscious enthusiasts who still like to put their foot down can opt to do the tour in a BMW or Jaguar instead.

LETTER FROM CAIRO about Hend Badawi and women's rights in Egypt. Hend Badawi is twenty-three years old and she has completed a master's degree in education in Banha, Egypt. Last December, she was accosted by soldiers while she was on Tahrir Square, protesting against the interim military government. After being beaten, sexually harassed, and Tasered, she was taken to a military hospital, where she required twenty-five stitches in her head. A few days later, her friends made a video of her testifying about the Army's treatment of her. The video went viral. When she was released from the hospital, her family locked her in her room in order to try and dissuade her from protesting. For women like Badawi, Hosni Mubarak's fall has ushered in a transition full of paradox. In June, the Muslim Brotherhood candidate, Mohamed Morsi, won the Presidency. There are worries that the Islamist ascendancy could curb women's freedoms. Some of the more recent women's reforms were ushered in by Suzanne Mubarak, and, since the revolution, her involvement has threatened to discredit them. Sexual harassment is endemic in Egypt. Mentions Nehad Abou el Koman, Samira Ibrahim, Heba Moravef, Azza al-Garf, and Dr. Iman Bibars.

Information for students on the Health Professional Loan Repayment and Scholarship programs can be found on the Paying for College section of the Washington Student Achievement Council website.
The Health Professional Loan Repayment and Scholarship program was created to address the critical shortage of health care professionals statewide. The Loan Repayment portion of the program provides loan payment assistance to licensed primary care health professionals. It provides up to $35,000 per year for a minimum of two years ($70,000), and up to $35,000 each additional year for a maximum of five years.
The Scholarship provides scholarships to students training to become primary care health professionals. In return, program participants agree to provide primary care health care in rural or underserved urban areas with designated shortages. In 2012, approximately 120 health professionals worked in underserved areas of Washington as a result of this program. However, because of reductions in state funding, new scholarships are not being awarded at this time.
The Council and the Washington State Department of Health jointly administer these programs.
A facility interested in becoming an eligible site for loan repayment must submit an online application. The deadline to submit applications is the first week of September. Further questions should be submitted to John Hanson at email@example.com, Mary Roberts at email@example.com, or Chris Wilkins at email@example.com.

Conditions of Use
I like Shel Silversteins poems the best because they are very funny to me. I like reading poems about things that can't happen in real life because I like what they can do with their imagination and turn it into a poem. I'm very good at finding end rhyme or alliteration, and I'm good at finding more, but those are most likely the ones im best at finding. I'd like to use alliteration because I think it makes your brain confused because of the sound. One of the ideas I will use for the poems is my dog, Simba, or Orange (from "The Annoying Orange").
