I love them!! Such great inspiration this month!
These are so fabulous! I can't wait to attempt the pinwheel.
I will get to those cartwheels. Thanks for all the great tuts.
The contrasting thread certainly changes everything. I'll have to remember that for all my crafty sewing. Thanks.
I always have loved the pinwheel block but for some reason never took a shine to the whirligig block. These quilts have changed my mind! I love the whirligiggle quilts, they are so fun.
Although Spring is popping out in many places in the USA, it is not in the Northeast quite yet, so we have lots of white snow. The colors of these quilts, pinwheels and whirlygigs are so much fun to see. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Two days shy of its first birthday, Fox Business Network is celebrating with increased distribution. Mike Reynolds of Multichannel News reports, "FBN recently signed deals with U.S. Cable and Insight Communications, which next month will begin making FBN available in standard-definition in all of its markets, including Columbus, Ohio, and Louisville, Ky., and its HD feed in many of them."
According to an exec from Insight, FBN has been one of the most requested channels since its launch adding that Dave Ramsey has a strong following in Louisville.
According to Reynolds' sources, FBN is also "closing in on a deal with one of three main holdouts: Dish Network, Cablevision and Cox." Fox Business launched Oct. 15, 2007 with 30 million subscribers. But the end of this month that number will be 43 million. CNBC is in 97 million homes.

When you or someone you love is diagnosed with a medical condition, its easy to feel alone. Even though youve talked through the diagnosis with your doctor, made a plan, and are seeking treatment, you may feel like you dont know where to turn next. Big lifestyle changes can have you feeling lost and unsupported, even if you have a strong support system.
One of the best things you can do for yourself or for your loved one is to find a support group. Chronic illnesses like Hepatitis C can be managed, but not cured. This reality leaves patients and their caregivers searching for answers. Turning to a group of people who understand your medical condition can provide the support and comfort youre looking for.
Read on to learn about why support groups are so valuable, and how you can find one near you:
The support you receive from friends and family is amazing and unlike anything else. Having your family and the people you love in your corner is so important. Thats why some patients dont venture out of their close support system, looking into other options.
Support groups offer a different kind of connection. Even though your family and friends are there for you no matter what, they cant relate to what youre going through. A support group with members that know what its like to have the same challenges can provide different tools to help you cope. Being around like-minded individuals always brings a sense of comfort and inclusion.
The same is true for caretakers. If you are the primary caregiver for your family member with a chronic illness, it might be hard to find people that can relate. There are support groups just for long-term caregivers. These are a place for people to share their experiences and gain strength together. Being a caregiver can be a difficult job, mentally and emotionally, but you can learn to share your experiences with people that understand.
Support groups are usually formed by non-profit groups, hospitals, or other organizations. You can expect to meet with your support group weekly, sometimes more if there are special circumstances. These groups can be led by professionals like nurses or psychologists, or even experienced members of the organization.
Each week youll be able to express your feelings and talk about your experiences. In return, youre building a network of people that understand what youre going through. Support groups allow people to feel less isolated, help them learn to cope, and even talk about diverse treatment options.
While support groups should never be a substitute for medical care, they can help you navigate the endless doctors appointments, tests, and medications. Different people receive different treatments. For example, one patients Hepatitis C treatment may be a little different from anothers. These groups allow you to learn about yourself and your options, giving you more to talk about with your doctor.
Now that you know how support groups work and how they can benefit you, its time to find one in your area. First, ask your doctor about support groups offered by their office or affiliates. They should be able to refer you to the person or department in charge of these groups.
If their office isnt involved with a support group, you can simply search online. Lots of major non-profits and organizations have group locators. They may also eve have online support groups for more convenient meetings.
Living with, or caring for, chronic illness is trying. There may not be a cure, but there is treatment and support to help you make it through. Youll never have to feel alone with the comfort and community of a good support group.

White House
Oil Painting(ID: A94761)
Created by Andrea WedellOne of a Kind
White House is an abstract painting from Andrea Wedell's Searching For Home series. Multiple layers of oil, cold wax, raw pigments, and oil sticks are applied with brayers, palette knives, and small brushes to a cradled board. Mixed-media elements include graphite pencil and gold leaf. Cold wax is permanent and strong, and not subject to heat-related issues. Clean by dusting the surface. The edges are 2 deep and are painted white, so framing is optional. All work is ready to hang as is and signed on the back.

Tampa Bay Lightning coach Guy Boucher calls Blues loss "shameful"; sends pregame message
The Tampa Bay Lightning on game days doesn't usually go through as hard a skate as it did this morning in preparation for its game with the Jets. Coach Guy Boucher isn't usually as vocally critical. But Boucher was trying to send a message about preparedness and focus and trying to put some urgency into his players after Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Blues which Boucher called "shameful."
"We have a chance to redeem ourselves," Boucher said of the game at Winnipeg. "I'm not talking about win or lose here, I'm talking about show up for the game, pay the price like we can."
So, Boucher gave it to his players several times for messing up drills during the morning skate and he put them through battle drills that included a four-on-four session.
"Sometimes you do," center Dominic Moore said when asked if such a grueling practice on a game day was necessary. "There's a variety of things we need to work on, so you have to get your reps in in practice to get those good habits back."
Boucher certainly wanted his players intense. So much so, he portrayed that same energy when later talking to reporters. He didn't browbeat reporters for any dumb questions, but he definitely ewas smoldering under the surface.
"I'm asking my players to be ready and intense and go to war, I've got to be ready, intense and be ready to go to war, so I'm sharp in what I do and my attitude," Boucher said. "Everything starts with attitude, and if I'm the leader of this boat, I got to start rowing before they do."
Other stuff from the morning skate: As expected, Dwayne Roloson gets the start in net. ... No official word, but it seems as if defenseman Victor Hedman, who has missed three games with an upper-body injury, will return. That seemed even more obvious when forward Blair Jones stayed on the ice for extra skating, indicating he will be scratched. ... If all that plays out, Boucher will go with 11 forwards and seven defensemen for the first time this season. ... Eleven and seven is his preferred formation, generally because it creates options. On defense, he can sit a defenseman who is playing poorly without forcing the others to pick up all the slack. On offense, he can plug in whomever he wants onto a third or fourth line. "That way," Boucher said, "you're harder to match." ... Left wing Ryan Malone (upper body) will not play tonight, but he skated at the end of the morning skate and said he is coming along. There seems to be a chance Malone might play Thursday against the Penguins. ... Will Sidney Crosby make his return Thursday against the Lightning? The team promises it will give one-day notice before Crosby's return so the media circus can assemble. ... Boucher again was asked about the controversial Flyers game. He said he is done talking about it and that coaches such as Mike Babcock and Ken Hitchcock and former coaches such as Jacques Lemaire, all of whom have spoken in Boucher's defense, have said it all. ... We'll see how long Boucher sticks with the funky lines he used at the morning skate such as center Vinny Lecavalier with wings Teddy Purcell and Tom Pyatt, and center Steven Stamkos with Marty St. Louis and Nate Thompson. Brett Connolly was on a line with Dominic Moore and Adam Hall.

Imagine how difficult it would be to coach a college football team with no athletic scholarships and your coaching staff consists of only two assistants, one of whom is the school's basketball coach.
That was the scenario Chuck Ream faced when he was hired as head coach at Washington & Jefferson College in 1960. It was Ream's job to turn intelligent students, who averaged 1,200 on college entrance exams, and mold them into highly competitive football players.
Back in the early 1960s, coaches had only two weeks to recruit. So with the small coaching staff and little time to put together a team, Ream got everyone involved.
Ream's wife, Marion, worked as an unpaid assistant.
"On Sundays, he would go to Pittsburgh to get the game films after they were developed, bring them home and show them on the refrigerator," Marion Ream recalled. "I typed the playbook and the recruiting letters."
"The team was competitive," said Ream's daughter, Cindy Phillips, who lives in Washington.
Despite the small coaching staff and being able to recruit only players with outstanding academic qualifications, Ream turned the tide of losing seasons as the Presidents enjoyed their first winning season – 4-3 in 1962 – in 10 years. W&J strung together four non-losing seasons from 1962-65 for the first time since 1938-41.
After inheriting a team that won only five games over the six seasons before he took over, Ream coached W&J to a winning season, 4-3, in 1962.
The Presidents had three consecutive winnings seasons before finishing at 4-4 in 1965. After taking a few seasons to rebuild, Ream's 1970 team had a 7-1 record and won W&J's first Presidents' Athletic Conference championship in its 13th year in the league.
Though it's hard to imagine today, that W&J championship team consisted of many players who never played football before they entered college.
Ream developed several college division All-Americans – the NCAA had not yet split into Divisions I, II and III. Bob Barone was an all-conference end and a former tennis player who did not play football in high school. Sam Carpenter went on to play in the Senior Bowl.
Rich Pocock was signed by the Steelers and went to training camp. He made it to the final round of cuts, when the Steelers released him so they could keep a running back named Rocky Bleier.
"Coach Ream stood out for his character and for his concern and love for his players," said Pocock. "I remember Coach for giving me a chance to play when I was a freshman. He showed me he wasn't afraid to take a chance on a rookie, which is something that spoke to the courage of his convictions."
Ream, who would coach W&J through the 1972 season, was a strict taskmaster. Discipline on and off the field were important to him.
"When I think of my dad as a coach, I think of Marty Schottenheimer, who coached at Kansas City," Phillips said. "Like Marty, dad cared for his players and their families. He was very strict and he wanted to see his players succeed in both football and life.
"Dad was so old-school. He admired Vince Lombardi, Knute Rockne and Bear Bryant. He became known as the 'Bear' because he expected his players to behave appropriately and become outstanding men. It was students first and football second."
Ream had strict rules that had to be followed, especially when on the road.
"You had to wear jackets and ties. One time they were in Cleveland to play Western Reserve, and he caught three of his players coming out of a bar. He threw them off the team and told them to find their own way home the next day," Phillips recalled.
The coach, however, was always looking out for his players.
"On our road trips, dad would stop at a restaurant and order 90 to 100 hamburgers for the players and staff. The owners of the restaurant didn't believe him." Phillips said.
Though the coach was strict, W&J's players had a strong bond with Ream.
"Several of his players came to the rescue in 1968," Phillips said. "Dad was in a serious automobile accident and the team physician, who was the family doctor, put out a call to the football players that Coach needed blood. He would have died, but 90 young men came to the hospital to give blood. Later, dad used to say that he had the old college blood in him."
Ream compiled a 36-50-1 record that included a 1-13 mark through two seasons.
After a successful career as a coach, he was hired as chairman of the education department at W&J, where he remained until his retirement in 1992. While he was coaching, he researched interval training of equine athletes and, in order to do so, he obtained his trainer's license with the U.S. Trotting Association while working with horses at the Beinhauer and Cameron stables at The Meadows. He subsequently was published in Hoofbeats magazine for his work.
He and his wife retired to Jensen Beach, where he became a Florida Supreme Court mediator.
He died April 20, 2013.
"The world is a better place for having Coach Ream in it, and I'm a better person for having known him," Pocock said.

whither debian?
I am confused. The debian project seems to my end-user eyes to be doing just fine. Some use the [K*]Ubuntu flavor. Some the Knoppix version. Etc. And it's pretty "free" and accessible and seems to be up to date as distros go. Even my slug is supported with the installer.
Why a "new" effort that is "just" GPL, then?
Or perhaps a better question: has any one done a recent Consumer Reports-style analysis of each (or at least a bunch) of the extant Linux distros and compared them on some set of relevant points? As binary distros go, I like debian because it seems to move fast enough and yet is also typically stable enough. Unless you go straight for Sid every time...

G.ho.st uses the Zoho online office suite for its default productivity applications, and the programs can be viewed within the environment. You can also save and access files from your Google Docs account, and can even send a document directly to Microsoft Office applications on your desktop. The only downside to G.ho.st's office suite is that it does not have a PDF reader.
Pros: Offers a whopping 15GB of free storage; wide support for various productivity file formats; a good e-mail tool that allows you to create appointments from e-mails; features a drag-and-drop appointment maker; a tabbed browser and MP3 player.
Cons: No support for the PDF format. If you are going to use G.ho.st, be prepared for the occasional flaw, but know that most problems can be fixed with a browser refresh.
Tip: G.ho.st's homepage is in Hebrew by default. In the address bar, just switch "he" for Hebrew at the end of the URL to "en" for English so you can navigate the site more easily.
Although it lists itself as a public beta, Startforce is one of the strongest performers among Webtops, with its own set of branded Web apps for word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations. It also has an e-mail client, in-environment Web browser, audio player, and IM client, and it comes with 1GB of free storage. One of the big advantages of Startforce is its fast response time, but a significant downside that I found during my tests is that Startforce does not work well with Apple's Safari Web browser.
Pros: Fast response time, customizable Windows environment, 1GB of free storage.
Cons: In my tests on a Mac, the Java-based uploader would not work, so I could not get files onto my Webtop. Also, StartForce works only if you shut down all other open Web pages in your browser. Once the Webtop is up and running, you can use other browser tabs again.
AirSet is not as functional as some other Webtops I've seen, but overall it's a pretty good experience. AirSet 's most full-featured application is its Web publishing software, which can help you create a Web site, blog, photo album, or newsletter. But Airset lacks other office essentials such as apps for word processing and spreadsheets.
Airset also has a contact and calendar manager that can sync directly with Outlook, and an IM client as well as 1GB of free online storage. But AirSet does not support Microsoft Word's ".doc" format. AirSet also has a group function that allows you to collaborate with other AirSet users; however, this is a for-pay function that is not available in the free service.
Pros: Outlook calendar and contact syncing; uses a Java applet or HTML interface for uploading (both are excellent); 1GB of free storage, $2 per month for every 5GB after that; AirSet mobile application allows for greater access; customizable desktop.
Cons: Webtop is ad-supported, so you lose some screen space; bare-bones productivity support with no spreadsheet or presentation software. AirSet does not support the .doc format--only basic text files and WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get). Good IM client, but it requires a manual sign-in for each service, even though it memorizes your passwords.

Tome of Battle was in dire need of eratta, but didn't get it. I've always run it as a cost, but it's up to your DM to read it either way.
Which brings me to my solution; spiked gauntlets, 2 melee attacks with spiked gauntlets will deal spiked gauntlet damage and inflict any touch spell held, its a lower chance of hitting but casting and holding inflict light wounds on round 1, moving to melee for round 2 and casting a quickened inflict light wounds during your offhand attack should be a legal use of the spell, if only due to the vague wording and abuse of the free action.
Because if its possible between BaB based attacks there shouldn't be anything stopping it for two weapon attacks.

EASTLAKE — A date has been set for Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon to appeal his pending one-year suspension for violating the NFL's illegal substance policy.
Gordon's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said he wasn't permitted to reveal when the hearing will take place with league officials, but admitted it would occur "in the near future."
"Right now, that's a league matter and everyone knows he has an appeal coming up," Rosenhaus said Thursday after playing in the Joe Haden and Friends Softball Game at Classic Park.
"The CBA and NFLPA regulations really encourage agents not to talk about that kind of stuff — it's confidential — and I really won't have anything to say about it until afterwards."
Rosenhaus, who was the inspiration for the "Jerry Maguire" movie character, also declined to speculate if Gordon's recent DWI arrest would factor into the equation.
The Pro Bowl wideout has battled off-the-field issues throughout his football career, dating back to short college stays at Baylor and Utah. Cleveland selected him in the second round of the 2012 supplemental draft.
Gordon was suspended for the Browns' first two games last season after failing a league-administered drug test, but managed to set a franchise record with 1,646 receiving yards while catching a team-high 87 passes.
"I really can't comment beyond that, I'm not permitted to divulge any of it," Rosenhaus said when pressed for specifics about Gordon's status. "I'm sure we'll talk (with the Browns) about Josh some more, and continue to work together and do the best job we can for him collectively."
Rosenhaus also represents Haden and linebacker Jabaal Sheard, the latter of whom is entering the final year of his contract with Cleveland. The Hollywood A-lister said discussions are ongoing with Browns general manager Ray Farmer, "but I wouldn't say we're close" to a deal.
"We've done some back and forth about Jabaal," Rosenhaus said. "We are talking to them about an extension. I would say the best way to put it is we're negotiating.
"I'm sure I'll get together with the Browns at some point before training camp to talk to them some more about all of our clients."
Rosenhaus was the highest-profile name at Haden's inaugural celebrity softball game, which included seven of his Cleveland teammates and other select guests. A portion of the proceeds were donated to Captains Charities, a non-profit organization that benefits youth sports and educational programs.
The Lake County Captains — a Single-A member of the Midwest League and minor league affiliate of the Indians — hosted the four-hour event at their ballpark.
"This is real cool for me to see all of the fans here, and I promise you that next year is going to be bigger and better," said Haden, who signed a five-year, $68 million extension with the Browns on May 13. "I'm going to keep it coming and I'm going to keep doing what I can to keep it fun here in Cleveland."
A crowd of more than 2,500 was in attendance for the nine-inning game and home run derby, both of which were dominated by Browns cornerback Buster Skrine.
Skrine edged Cleveland quarterback Brian Hoyer 2-1 in the Home Run derby final, then won MVP honors in the game by belting a pair of three-run homers and making a leaping catch of a line drive at shortstop.
For the record, the Browns defense outslugged their offensive players 28-15.
"Joe is not only a great player, but a great person, which is why it was so important for me to be here," said Rosenhaus, who is hosting a football camp for underprivileged kids in Miami this morning.
"It's nice to see him get this great support. This is a beautiful ballpark and the fans are tremendous here. To see this kind of turnout, I can only imagine the support the Browns are going to get this year."
Roll call
The other five Browns who participated in the game were wide receivers Miles Austin and Travis Benjamin, linebacker Craig Robertson and cornerbacks Jordan Poyer and T.J. Heath.
Poyer and Robertson gave Haden an ice-water shower following their team's victory.
"Seeing everyone having this much fun is why I waited out a four-hour flight delay to get here," Rosenhaus said, smiling.
Cleveland cornerbacks Justin Gilbert and Aaron Berry, safety Donte Whitner and running back Dion Lewis were also listed on the rosters, but did not attend. Additional no-shows were NFL players Torrey Smith, Carlos Dunlap, Tyrann Mathieu and Mike McGruder.
Rubber City sellout
All 25,000 free tickets for the Browns' intrasquad scrimmage in Akron were distributed Thursday, less than 10 hours after they were made available to the public.
The "Family Day" event at the University of Akron's InfoCision Stadium takes place Aug. 2.
"We are thrilled with our fans' immediate response," Browns president Alec Scheiner said. "We are striving to create memorable experiences for Browns fans, and Family Day is shaping up to be tremendous."

"Glee" couple Lea Michele and Cory Monteith aren't at all trying to hide their romance! The two indulged in some PDA on Wednesday while in NYC for Fox's upfronts. They were spotted holding hands while strolling in the Big Apple's SoHo neighborhood during the day, and Cory even reportedly carried Lea's shopping bag. That night, the co-stars stepped out again to watch a hockey playoff game between the New York Rangers and the New Jersey Devils at Madison Square Garden, where they shared a smooch. Lea, 25, and Cory, 30, have been rumored to be dating since February. Photos taken of them while they vacationed in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, last month appear to have confirmed it.
"Glee" fans were once worried about whether Lea's character Rachel, Cory's character Finn, and some of their other favorite members of New Directions would be back on the show after the May 22 graduation episode, but show creator Ryan Murphy has assured us that that's not the case. "We had a meeting, and you know we've become like a family, and I said to them, 'Anybody who wants to stay on the show will stay on the show,'" he told New York Magazine's Vulture blog. "They're all coming back. Anyone who is a regular is coming back. Everyone said yes.... It doesn't mean everyone will be doing 22 episodes, but everyone wants to stay in our family and our world. I wanted to make sure those actors know that if they want to have a home, they have a home. If they want to explore new and different things while also having a home, that is also an option." While the fourth season of "Glee" will continue to follow the students back at McKinley High, it is also expected to feature the characters played by Lea, Cory, and Chris Colfer studying the performing arts in New York.
Next season will also see the "Glee" debut of actress Kate Hudson, and the return of Sarah Jessica Parker. But if what you really love about the show is its musical numbers, there's some exciting news on that front: the show will produce a second Britney Spears tribute episode! It's scheduled to be the second episode of the season, and will air right after Britney's first night as a judge on "The X Factor," according to Entertainment Weekly. Which Britney songs do you want the cast to sing this time?

TRENTON, Jan. 1. -- The Eastern pottery manufacturers will to-morrow start a price-cutting war which promises to be one of the fiercest commercial contests ever waged in this trade. It will be Eastern potterymen against the Western manufacturers, and prices are to be very much reduced within a week.

We gave it a B+
Twenty-five percent of U.S. children live in real poverty. To judge by Coming of Age: The True Adventures of Two American Teens, an intimate report on Generation Y, the rest live in spiritual poverty. The class of '93 at Burrillville High, in a prosperous Rhode Island suburb, let ace reporter G. Wayne Miller share their senior year. He hangs out in their classrooms, at their parties, even reads their diaries. We really get to like Dave Bettencourt, self-appointed candidate for class clown and publisher of an irreverent underground newspaper. He's kind to underdogs, scornful of cliques, and a graceful loser on the basketball court. But his good qualities seem to flourish in spite of a steady diet of junk food, junk movies, junk culture. These kids learn about love from the published fantasies of the Material Girl, Madonna. They are Material Children: loved, lovable, and yet sadly deprived. B+

Jetex Flight Support has kicked off its expansion into South America with the launch of fuel supply services in Brazil. The Dubai-based group now says it can supply jet-A to operators at any Brazilian airport, having previously been confined to international airports.
The company, which provides comprehensive flight planning and handling services, has plans to open a full-service joint venture operation in Brazil from January 2013. Fuel arrangements in the country are being made directly through inter-plane agents, thus eliminating third-party costs. "Not only will it cut costs for our clients, this move will ensure timely fuel services in any location in Brazil," explained Jetex regional sales executive Rafaella Carolina. "We are taking our first step into our expansion in South America and we look forward to many more announcements."
Earlier this year, Jetex (Booth No. 5044) launched a new service to allow operators to avoid paying value-added tax on fuel if they are exempt from the tax. The Jetex Fueling Services subsidiary can now offer the exemption program in the following eight European states and is planning to add more: Austria, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Poland and Switzerland. To find out whether or not they are VAT-exempt, operators fill out a short questionnaire at the Jetex website.
According to marketing manager Sabina Makowska, so far in 2012 Jetex has seen strong growth in business aviation traffic in Africa and Asia and particularly in China and India. By contrast, traffic has dropped in Europe's struggling economies but at its Paris Le Bourget FBO the company says it has boosted market share to handling 20 percent of movements, at a time when traffic is 5 percent down on 2011 levels. Last year at Shannon on the west coast of Ireland Jetex started a joint venture with local FBO Westair. Customers here can take advantage of the airport's status as a pre-clearance gateway for U.S. immigration and customs so that onward flights to the U.S. are considered domestic.
Jetex also has bases in China, the Ukraine, Burundi, Ethiopia, Algeria and Congo. It is looking to strengthen its supervisory handling role in the growing markets of central and West Africa. Many of its supervisors in Africa have been with the company for more than five years, which Jetex says is significant given the continuing challenges associated with arranging permits, handling and other flight support services throughout the continent.
Makowska told AIN that in most of the growth markets in which Jetex is now seeking to expand, regulatory restrictions continue to be the most significant hurdle. For instance, the company is pressing authorities in regions such as the Middle East to allow more open market access for companies wanting to establish new FBOs.
Jetex is a sponsor for Corporate Angel Network, through which business aircraft operators provide flights for cancer patients needing to travel to receive treatment.

Fluorinert is the trademarked brand name for the line of electronics coolant liquids sold commercially by 3M. It is an electrically insulating, stable fluorocarbon-based fluid, which is used in various cooling applications. It is mainly used for cooling electronics. Different molecular formulations are available with a variety of boiling points, allowing it to be used in "single-phase" applications, where it remains a liquid, or for "two-phase" applications, where the liquid boils to remove additional heat by evaporative cooling. An example of one of the compounds 3M uses is FC-72 (perfluorohexane, C6F14). Perfluorohexane is used for low-temperature heat-transfer applications due to its 56 °C (133 °F) boiling point. Another example is FC-75, perfluoro(2-butyl-tetrahydrofurane). There are 3M fluids that can handle up to 215 °C (419 °F), such as FC-70 (perfluorotripentylamine).[1]
Fluorinert is used in situations where air cannot carry away enough heat, or where airflow is so restricted that some sort of forced pumping is required.
Fluorinert may be harmful if inhaled, and care should be taken to avoid contact with eyes and skin. No health effects are expected by ingestion of Fluorinert, however.[2] Use should be constrained to closed systems and reduced volumes, as fluorinated oils have a very high global-warming potential and a long atmospheric lifetime.[3]
The science-fiction film The Abyss (1989) depicted an experimental liquid-breathing system, in which the use of highly oxygenated Fluorinert enabled a diver to descend to great depths. While several rats were shown actually breathing Fluorinert (this scene was cut in the United Kingdom, as it was seen as animal cruelty), scenes depicting actor Ed Harris using the fluid-breathing apparatus were simulated.

Mr. COBURN. I have a question for my colleagues. Are we proud of this process? Have we fulfilled the responsibility to the citizens of this country with this process? Nobody can answer yes to that. And yet nothing seems to change.
You know, $3.5 billion worth of phony earmarks totally puts an earmark ban on its head. The idea that parochialism trumps our Nation's vital interests puts our responsibility and our oath on its head.
I know the hearts of everybody here. They are great. The intentions are great. With this bill, we have failed America. We failed America in the process, we failed America in our oath. This next year is going to be much more difficult than anybody can anticipate. At a time when we are facing our national survival, business as usual occurs. That is a reflection of lousy leadership by all of us, including me. It means I didn't make my case big enough about what the priorities should be in our country.
It is a great time for reflection. We are going to go home. We are going to pass this bill that is going to be far less than what this country needs in terms of its integrity and its actions. Hopefully, we will think and return with a renewed spirit to fix the ship of state and do what is in the best interest of the Nation, not what is in the best interest of our parochial political careers.
I yield the floor.

It hasn't happened for so long now that only low quality recordings are available of the last time it did.
Men who live in times when zealous and holy Christians abound — are often the worse for it. What effect has the zeal of Christians upon such? It excites them to malice! And all the while the Church is asleep, the world says, "Ah, we do not believe your religion, for you do not act as if you believed it yourselves." But the moment the Church bestirs herself, the world cries, "They are a set of fanatics! Who can put up with their ravings? We could have believed their religion had it been brought to us with respectful sobriety, but accompanied by enthusiasm, it is detestable!" Nothing will please sinners — but their sins! And if their sins could be made into virtues they would fly to their virtues at once, so as to remain in opposition. Contrary to God, man wi

Rays outlast Indians 9-2 in marathon
By JOE SMITH
Times Staff Writer
CLEVELAND — The Rays' marathon series opener with the Indians on Friday night was so long, it started in May and ended in June.
In between, there were three rain delays totaling nearly five hours, post-game fireworks before the first run was scored, and a seventh-inning stretch (yawn) that came around last call at the local bars. But Tampa Bay held on for a 9-2 win in front of the passionate fraction of 29,603 that remained at Progressive Field for the final out at 3 a.m., with another game set to start in a little more than 10 hours today.
"I'm really proud of our guys," manager Joe Maddon said. "That was about as cool a win as I've experienced in professional baseball."
The Rays' sixth-straight victory matched their season high, giving them an American League-best 18-10 mark in May and helping them pull within two games of first-place Boston in the AL East.
James Loney had two homers, including a two-run blast in Tampa Bay's five-run third, to lift the offense. And veteran Jamey Wright's bullpen-saving, three-inning effort — in relieving lefty starter Matt Moore — began a group effort that held the Indians to just one hit.
"Jamey Wright was the hero of the night," Maddon said. "He set the whole thing up."
Considering the Rays (30-24) arrived in Cleveland in the early hours Friday morning, Maddon was hoping — despite the fact rain was in the forecast all night — they wouldn't have a similar fate to the Thursday night Cardinals-Royals rain-delayed game that went past 3 a.m.
But that's exactly what happened.
When first pitch was pushed back from 7:05 p.m. to 9:02, it marked the start of a long night. The teams played for 16 minutes, getting to the top of the second inning before it was delayed again, for 13 minutes. They tried to resume, for all of three minutes, but the game was stopped for another long delay at 9:34 p.m, with Moore walking off the mound and ending his 11-pitch outing.
The Rays players killed time during the second lengthy delay by playing Golden Tee video game in the clubhouse, watching other games on television, and keeping loose. Wright was following his family's trials in Oklahoma dealing with the aftermath of the tornadoes, even bringing his phone out into the bullpen to keep tabs.
"Everybody is safe," he said.
Meanwhile in Cleveland, fans in attendance on $1 hot dog night stuck around, cheering loudly when the Orioles' walkoff win over the Tigers was shown on the JumboTron, putting the Indians in a first-place tie in the AL Central. They chanted "We want baseball!" and "Let them Play!"
"It was pretty incredible," Maddon said of the fans.
But Maddon, aware of his worn-out bullpen and Moore out of the game, said "if (the game) had been called off I wouldn't have been upset." Maddon said there were a few moments where the game was in jeopardy, but the Indians really wanted to play, and both teams knew the forecast for Saturday wasn't much better.
Maddon took a slow walk around the outfield grass around 10:30 p.m., noticing the "spongy" conditions, But when Maddon joined Indians manager Terry Francona to take a final lap an hour later, it had improved enough for them to feel comfortable playing.
"We don't make excuses," Maddon said. "We were told to play, so we played."
It was a no-brainer Moore would not return, though Maddon said it's possible he could pitch Sunday or during the Tigers series, they haven't decided. Wright was given 15-minute notice he'd be stepping in, and filled in admirably with four hitless innings, striking out four.
"As far as Matt one inning, cause of the rain and everything, I can't imagine it working out any better than it did," Wright said. "They make you wait around until midnight, you want to go out there and beat up on them. and I'm glad it worked out."
The Rays got more than enough offense with a two-out, five-run rally off Indians lefty reliever Scott Barnes in the third. With one on, Matt Joyce ripped a two-run homer into the rightfield seats, his second homer in as many games but just his third hit off a lefty this season. Kelly Johnson walked, then Evan Longoria hit an RBI double off the wall in left-center to make it 3-0. Loney followed up with a two-run homer of his own. It was the first time two Rays left-handed batters hit a home run off a lefty pitcher in the same inning since Aug. 12, 2011, against the Yankees' CC Sabathia.
Wright would last until the fifth, when he walked Nick Swisher, then allowed Mark Reynolds to reach on an error. Josh Lueke replaced Wright, and two batters later, Yan Gomes knocked in a run with a sacrifice fly. Ryan Raburn, a former Durant High and University of Florida standout, then ripped the Indians' first hit, an RBI double off the wall in right, cutting the Rays' lead to 5-2.
After two innings by Lueke, lefty Cesar Ramos took over for the final three, picking up his first career save.
"It was fun,' Ramos said. "It's unbelievable to be playing baseball at this time, but it was a big day."
Tampa Bay got another insurance run on the second homer of the game by Loney, a solo shot in the eighth. It was Loney's third career multi-homer game, first since Sept. 7, 2007, at San Francisco while with the Dodgers.
"There was a lot of life on our bench," Maddon said. "We came out swinging the bats."
The Rays weren't done yet, however, adding three more runs in the ninth on five hits, including RBI singles by Yunel Escobar, Ben Zobrist and Sam Fuld.
"It was very awkward way to do this," Maddon said. "But if you're going to stick around that long, you might as well win it."

Its National Tell a Story Day on the 27th April, this is chance to celebrate oral storytelling. Stories can be from the heart, from memory, descriptive, made up, literally anything. I love storytelling and thoroughly enjoy sitting around telling stories to my Beaver group and also to my own children. These are generally tall tales with an element of the supernatural or down right crazy. Its a brilliant way of getting them to learn all sorts of things from general knowledge, sentence structure to the art of sitting and listening. The benefits are huge and its such an easy thing to do with them.
I was challenged by Mecca Bingo to tell my own story. Rather than publish here some of the children's stories i'm writing in the vague hope that someone might be interested in publishing them I thought I'd tell you the story behind why we love our house:
Home is where the heart is, right? That's what I used to think when I was younger. When I moved in with my husband and we tried to have a baby and we tried and tried without luck. I began to doubt my happiness in our home. Five years later we decided to move house, within months I was pregnant. Coincidence, right? For me, home is more than where the heart is; it's where the soul is too. I love my current house from the tips of my toes to the top of my head, partly because it gave me a baby!
Being built on an ancient Iron Age settlement, I think my house has a soul. I often wonder if our good fortune with pregnancies and our general happiness has stemmed as much from this fortunate geographical position. The Chinese believe in the power of Feng Shui and I think we must have just got lucky, perhaps we put the furniture in the right place by accident. Who knows?
There was a dangerous time when I feared that the whole house would be taken over by toys and the plastic artefacts of childhood. Now, thanks to a clean white paint job and wicker baskets we have begun to reclaim the house from children. I still trip over toy buses and find half eaten biscuits at the foot of the stairs. Yet I marvel at how wonderfully lucky I am to suffer these little inconveniences and how short-lived this home invasion will be.
I always think that a home devoid of flowers and pot plants and books is a sad place. My house is full to the brim with books of all shape, size, colour and topic. Each day I sit in my bright pink armchair with the baby at my feet and read a poem to him. We choose different flowers for the large glass vase which sits under the television each week. Not only do we enjoy their scent, but we draw them, photograph and remark upon the amazing things you can bring into your home and how they can change it. This is what makes my home, our home.
As Jane Austen once said 'There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort…' and I must admit I like my bed with it's freshly laundered sheets. If I could, I'd take my own bed and the coffee maker on holiday with me. There is nothing to compare to your own bed is there?
I love my photograph wall, I love my bespoke home-made cushions and even the broken letter box. I love all those things I've told you about. This is what makes a house, our home. But, you know, the one thing which has really turned our house into a home is the addition of a cat. It is complete; three children, sofa, television, books and a cat. Who would have thought!


text: I managed to sell the name Rhett Maverick to my husband which I'm pretty excited about. I wasn't really too sure about Rhett at first, it just reminds me of a guy in his 40s, not quite vintage but not new either. But paired with Maverick I think it is just really fresh and cute! But I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for nns for Rhett Maverick that lightens up the name Rhett a little. Thanks! :)

KINGSTON -- A woman who stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from the law firm where she worked as a secretary was sentenced on Tuesday to as much as 13 years in prison and was ordered to pay more than $600,000 to her victims.
Mary J. Merten pleaded for leniency before the sentence was handed down, saying she never meant to hurt her employers and just "got lost in this world."
Merten, 44, of Springtown Road, New Paltz, pleaded guilty earlier this year to embezzling nearly $700,000 from the Kingston law firm of Riseley and Moriello, where she was employed as a confidential secretary. On Tuesday, acting Ulster County Judge Anthony McGinty sentenced Merten to 4-1/3 to 13 years in state prison for felony grand larceny. She also was sentenced to two to six years behind bars for each of three counts of felony aggravated identity theft. The sentences will run concurrently.
Merten also was ordered to pay her victims $625,000 in restitution, an amount agreed to during a restitution hearing earlier Tuesday. The judge also issued orders of protection to three of the victims of the embezzlement and ordered Merten to pay $375 in fines and surcharges.
The thefts, which occurred between 2002 and 2009, involved Merten stealing money from the law firm's checking accounts, the accounts of the firm's partners and the firm's trust account, according to Ulster County District Attorney Holley Carnright. He said Merten also stole from the college savings account of the daughter of one of the firm's partners and also opened credit cards in the partner's names.
BEFORE being sentenced on Tuesday, Merten said she was wrong to steal from her employers, Michael Moriello and Richard Riseley. She also said she loved her employers like family and tried to apologize to them when she realized how bad things had gotten.
"I got lost in this world," Merten said.
She also said she had some mental health problems and that her husband, William, had suffered a bad heart attack, though she stressed she was not trying to make excuses.
MERTEN admitted she was a criminal but said she was not a hardened one, and she asked the judge for leniency. She said putting her in prison might help heal the hurt of the victims but would hurt her 12-year-old daughter. Merten also pointed to the fact she had no prior convictions.
McGinty said he considered the statements made in court and the letters of support from Merten's family and friends but that he also weighed the victims' statements and Merten's course of conduct over many years. The judge noted to Merten that she forced one of the victims out of a well-earned retirement and stole from a child's college savings.
"And worst of all, you have betrayed the trust of your employers and friends," McGinty said, adding that even if Merten pays the full restitution, the victims will never be whole.
MORIELLO said Merten was "a person I treated like family" but that her actions forced him to borrow significant amounts of money from his parents and liquidate stock. He also said his credit rating fell sharply, his 2008 tax payments were never made, and he was forced to spend hundreds of hours away from his family.
Moriello said he expects to be dealing with the fallout from Merten's actions for years to come and that the embezzlement irrevocably affected his partner, Riseley.
Nancy Riseley, Richard Riseley's wife, said Merten "literally robbed my husband of his ability to practice law." She said her husband had been in poor health, and then Merten robbed him of $350,000 he had been saving for retirement.
Mrs. Riseley also said the theft forced her to go back to work full-time in her own law practice, even though she will turn 67 next month.
CARNRIGHT said $374,625 of the restitution will be paid to Moriello and $250,375 will go to Riseley.
The prosecutor said Merten's "fraud scheme was as simple as it was effective." He said Merten would write checks to herself and then submit pay stubs, with the names of false payees, to the law firm's bookkeeper. He said the only reason Merten was caught was because a credit card notification for one of the fraudulent accounts made its way to Riseley before she could reroute or intercept it.
Carnright said he believes if Merten had not been caught, she still would be committing the thefts.
DEFENSE attorney Jeremiah Flaherty described his client as a hard worker who "deluded herself into believing she could loan money and someday pay it back."
He also said Merten did not make any lifestyle changes with the money she took and is living with her family in her mother's basement.
NANCY Riseley said a civil suit against Mary and William Merten, their daughter Catherine Swift, and a friend, Anthony Russo, is pending in state Supreme Court.
She said the suit seeks damages and the recovery of the stolen money.

During an interview (coming soon!) with Drew Murray, lead designer of the "spectacular" Resistance 3, we learned that the planned multiplayer beta is just around the corner. "We're doing a friends and family beta right now," Murray said. "And I think we kick off the public beta sometime in August."
That "sometime" has now been narrowed down to "the first week in August" according to IGN, reporting from the Resistance 3 panel at Comic-Con. The beta features multiplayer modes Team Deathmatch and Chain Reaction, both shown on video here, and an undisclosed number of maps. It's still not clear if owning the less-than-spectacular SOCOM 4 is the only way to access the beta.
These videos both take place on Seaside, so that's ostensibly one map we know about. And the first week in August is really a great time to spend by the sea; one last beach run before the game's September 6 release.

I had Juvederm cheek filler as with my age my cheek bones were no longer pronounced but I now feel the filler was a bad idea as my cheek bones were not originally where filler injected. Also botox around my eyes have just resulted in drooping upper eyelid and due to allergic reaction large undereye bags and an indent on my right cheek where the injection to remove the filler was inserted.I had Juvederm filler in my cheeks and also botox round my eyes. The fillers gave me puffy lumps which looked like bags and the botox left me with under eyelid bags. I was given infections to remove the Juvederm but was told I had had an allergic reaction to the botox but would have to wait this out. The injections to remove the Juvederm was given over a month ago and I still have both effects under my eyes, but I have now noticed an indent on one side of my face just beside these injections were given.As I am 62 does this mean my own bodies hyaluronic acid will now not return due to my age and will the eye bags condition remain. I am so sorry I had this treatment as I did not have any bags under my eyes or indents in fact I would say my face as actually aged more since treatment.

Natural Magnetism specializes in alternative therapies that take a holistic approach to health and wellness.
Are you looking for ways to reduce stress, relieve pain, release negative thoughts and emotions, and address major and minor health issues naturally? You came to the right place!
Alternative therapies support the body's innate ability to balance and self-heal. When the body achieves this natural state of balance, it is referred to as homeostasis. Natural therapies complement each other and traditional medicine.
Holistic health is achieved when the "whole" person, the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of the being are in balance. This is the focus of alternative medicine. Holistic remedies can be used to facilitate healing on all levels, this is known as holistic healing.
If you are new to alternative therapies, take a look around and see which therapies appeal to you. Some of these natural therapies can be used by even the novice with confidence, such as Magnet Therapy, Crystal Therapy, and Aromatherapy Essential Oils, while others may require the experience of a trained professional.

Found Out My Boyfriend Is Cheating
"Should I Call Him Out For Cheating Before the Holidays?"
This question is from a Group Therapy post in our TrèsSugar Community. Add your advice in the comments!
My boyfriend and I have been together for almost a year now. We live together and we've always gotten along well. We're nice to each other, and we've always wanted to open a business together in the future. I get on very well with his family, too. Sometimes we've had arguments like couples do, but nothing serious. About two months ago, he went home for two weeks — to another country — and after he came back, he was a different person. Ever since then, he's been pushing me away, making mean comments, and we've only had sex once. Since he came back, he's said that we've become more like friends and said that maybe we shouldn't have any sex for now. I waited for a couple weeks, then asked him why this was happening all of a sudden. He said it was because of work stress and his dad's illness, then told me he's going home for another three weeks over the holidays to spend time with his father. I gave him space as much as I could, I wouldn't disturb him when he came home from work, and we barely spoke, but still he tried to pick fights.
About two weeks after he came back, he said he needed to go away to clear his head, so I said okay, and he left for the weekend without saying where he was going. When I asked him, he said he didn't know himself. I was reading all sorts of literature on relationships and I felt so lonely, but I kept remembering all the great times we've had together. When he returned, he said we should take a break in our relationship and decide what will happen after he returns from his trip home. The day after that, I found a receipt from a hotel for two people, which had been booked a week before he went away for the weekend. In other words, he lied about not knowing where he was going. There was also a bill for a restaurant and one for flowers. I was so shocked, but decided not to tell him anything because I wanted to calm down first. Yesterday, I went to download some music so I grabbed his iPod. On it, I found photos of him with another girl from that trip, and they were hugging. There was also a note basically saying that he's dreaming about her and he'll always be hers.
I was shaking, I still am. He's never said anything like that to me, nevermind giving me flowers or hotel trips. I'm so disappointed in him. He was the last person I thought would backstab me like this because he's been cheated on and dumped for somebody else. I feel so hurt and I don't understand how somebody could be so heartless. I always try to be open about any issue in our relationship, but I don't know what to do. I don't want revenge, but I want him to feel the responsibility for his actions. I don't know if I should tell him I know about it by leaving a photo of them on his nightstand? I'm going away to visit my family for Christmas, but I'm worried that if I don't let him know about all of this, I'll spend another three miserable weeks upset and then get dumped by him when he gets back. What should I do?

Originally posted on Fangraphs | Last updated 1/19/13
On Saturday night, baseball lost one of its all-time greats. Stan "The Man" Musial, a Hall of Fame inductee who played 22 seasons for the St. Louis Cardinals, passed away at the age of 92. I'll leave the descriptions of Musial's unique swing and the stories of contributions to the community to writers more eloquent and knowledgeable than I. FanGraphs is all about statistics, so let's look at Musial's career though his numbers. Musial won three MVP awards, led the league in hitting seven times, and won three World Series titles. He played in 24 All-Star games, tied for the most ever, and was selected as an All-Star in 20 consecutive seasons. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame on his first ballot and was named to MLB's All-Century team in 1999. ESPN recently ranked him the sixth-best baseball player of all time in their Hall of 100 project. All of this while missing his entire age-24 season due to military service in 1945. What is most notable about Musial is just how non-descript of a legend he was. He does not hold any of the high-profile career or single-season records. He didn't hit home runs like Babe Ruth or Hank Aaron, he never hit .400 like Ted Williams, he didn't have more hits than Ty Cobb, and he didn't play the field or steal bases like Willie Mays. Looking at any one leaderboard fails to describe Musial's greatness. His true value comes when looking across categories and realizing that he's near the top of everything. He hit for average and power, he had peak and longevity. He was – without question – one of the best to ever play the game. Here are his career totals: Games – 3,026 (6th all time) Hits – 3,630 (4th) Doubles – 725 (3rd) Triples – 177 (19th) Home Runs – 475 (28th) Total Bases – 6,134 (2nd) Runs – 1,949 (9th) Runs Batted In – 1,949 (6th) Walks – 1,599 (13th) Batting Average – .331 (30th) On Base Percentage – .417 (22nd) Slugging Percentage – .559 (19th) If Musial had come along about 50 years later, he would have been a darling of the sabermetrics community. Perhaps Musial's best skill was hitting doubles, he led the league in two-baggers eight times. Musial was also incredibly hard to strike out. He has the lowest K% (5.5%) of anyone with at least 375 home runs. Here are Musial's advanced statistics: Wins Above Replacement – 139.4 (9th among hitters) wRC+ – 158 (11th) wOBA – .435 (12th) Musial's best season was in 1948, when he lead the league in all three triple slash stats (.376/.450/.702) as well as almost every counting stat: 230 hits, 46 doubles, 18 triples, 135 runs, and 131 RBI. He missed the triple crown by one home run, hitting 39 to Ralph Kiner's 40. All of that adds up to a 201 wRC+ and 11.5 WAR. Musial's 1948 season was rarefied air in the history of baseball. It ranks as the 24th highest single-season WAR for hitters, and the 30th highest single-season wRC+. Off the top of your head, you could not reel off Musial's career line, the most home runs he ever hit or his highest batting average. In a way, Musial embodied the humble, Midwestern ideals of city where he spent his entire career. There are no stories about a called-shot, no public love affair with Marilyn Monroe, and no dramatic catch in center field. Yet, his career and the numbers he tallied will live forever. Stan Musial's name will be near, but not at, the top of just about every career or single-season leaderboard you'll ever see. "Here stands baseball's perfect warrior. Here stands baseball's perfect knight." - Ford C. Frick, chiseled on the base of the Stan Musial statue outside of Busch Stadium.

Bryce Harper Uses Justin Bieber Song For At-Bats [VIDEO]
What in the wide world of horrid ideas is goin' on here? Bryce Harper walks to the plate while Bieber is blasted? Really?
Subscribe to 104.5 THE TEAM on
Washington Nationals phenom Bryce Harper is having an eventful rookie season. Heading into Wednesday's matchup with the Tampa Bay Rays, Harper has been productive with a .289 batting average with 7 home runs and 19 RBIs in 173 at bats. He accidentally hit himself in the face with a bat that he broke in frustration. Harper has also had one of his quotes repeated by a politician this week.
That's not where the events end for ole Bryce Harper. The 20-year old rookie has made a dreadful selection by electing to walk up to the plate for his at bats by listening to Justin Bieber's song "Boyfriend." Really, Bryce? Come on, bud. Bieber? Seriously?
Other than losing a bet, this is dirty pool. Based on principle, you can't walk up for an at bat while Bieber is being blasted over the loud speakers. Bieber isn't macho and players who elect to use Bieber's music are instantly less macho. I've said on "The Noe Show" that I would walk up to "Master of Puppets" by Metallica. It's heavy. It's macho. It has the perfect message for a baseball game; you're the master while your opponent is the puppet. Perfect! Get some Pantera going or something, Bryce. Let's restore some order in the universe here.
Brian Noe is the Brand Manager at 104.5 The Team, ESPN Radio in Albany, NY. Brian also hosts "The Noe Show" each weekday from 1-3pm ET on WTMM.

Error: Unable to restore run data (8)
Recently, my Webalizer froze and did not display any data after a specific day. It gave the following error:
Error: Unable to restore run data (8)
and something about a dns-cache.db lock.
To resolve this, I did the following:
Erased all my httpd log files (/etc/httpd/access_log).
Erased the old non-updating webalizer output pages at (var/www/html/usage) which varies by install.
Erased everything in (/var/lib/webalizer) which included:
I then restarted webalizer by typing 'webalizer' at the SSH command prompt using PuTTy.
Although this erased all my logs and prior info, it got things running again. Next time, I'll try deleting the HTTPD log files last to see if it works.
Good Luck!
Re: Version 2.01.11
Did you commit your polish translation to the awffull (http://www.freshmeat.net/projects/awffull/) webalizer fork ? it could be nice.
> I've released un-official version
> 2.01.11.

webalizer-2.01-10 patch for your consideration
We have been successfully using modified webalizer-2.01-10 extensively on multiple sites, from the very large to the very small for some time now.
We have made a number of mods to the standard webalizer-2.01-10 distribution as well as built a number of tools to process multiple virtual sites as well as to create summary/rollup stats for all of the virtual sites on a given server.
The topic of this posting are the patches that we have applied to the webalizer-2.01-10 distribution. The URL:
contains 4 patches, 3 of which I recommend to all webalizer users and the 4th is a re-package of the geolizer patch.
The 0.basic.patch:
does the following:
* ability to process very large log files (> 2GB in size)
* countries patch
Some of the entries on the list are not countries. In some cases the nation state status is contested. In other cases the entry is related to a territory that does not claim to be a country. In some cases what some claim is a country is in dispute by another country. And things like .arpa are not a country.
I recommend that one use the term 'location' instead of
'Nation' or 'Country' to avoid the whole mess. ;-)
Added are some missing locations (from the ISO UN codes and from GeoIP's list). Some location names have been corrected or changed to their official name. Added some more TLDs.
* avoid referrer spamming (IMPORTANT)
Spammers and other low-life forms have been stuffing the "top N referrer" table in order to get webalizer to generate links to their sites ... (perhaps because they think this will improve their search engine placement or perhaps because they wish to direct people to a poisoned web page in an effort to exploit some browser bug?). Whatever the reason, we don't need to give them their links.
This patch turns the "top N referrer" table into just values instead of A tag.
* correctly process log entries made during a leap second
* long referrer and search patch
Quite a few referrer and search strings are between 128 and 256 chars in length. Avoid truncating them.
The 1.64bit.patch:
does the following:
* avoid 32 bit counter overflow
For very busy sites, 32 bit signed counters can overflow. This is particularly when using webalizer to cover a long span of time. This patch converts a few values to be u_int64_t to avoid these numeric overflow problems.
The 2.hist.patch:
does the following:
* extend the summary page for longer than 12 months
By default, webalizer only keeps the last 12 months of data. And at the start of a month, the oldest month is discarded resulting in only 11+ months of data.
This code gets around the 12 month limit by maintaining a history of older months in a parallel directory ../history.
See the webalizer page:
for an example of this effect.
NOTE: After the 2.hist.patch has been applied, the
track-hist tool:
should be run on a monthly basis. See the comments in the 2.hist.patch file as well as the track-hist tool itself for details.
The optional 3.geolizer.patch patch:
is If AND ONLY IF you use one the MaxMind
(http://www.maxmind.com/) GeoIP database. It is a just a reapplication of the geolizer.patch that works for Un*x / Linux / GNU-Linux systems after the first 3 patches have been applied.
-=-=- in Summary -=-=-
At a minimum, I'd highly recommend the 0.basic.patch patch.
Large web sites will want the 1.64bit.patch patch (after the 0.basic.patch has been applied). It doesn't hurt smaller sites to have it either.
Sites that want to keep more than 12 months of webalizer stats need the 0.basic.patch, 1.64bit.patch and the 2.hist.patch as well as the track_hist tool.
chongo (Landon Curt Noll) /\oo/\
Share and enjoy! :-)
Version 2.01.11
Since Webalizer author seems not to be interested in further development, I'd like to inform anyone insterested, that I've released un-official version 2.01.11. CHANGELOG (http://wfmh.org.pl/carlos/files/soft/webalizer/CHANGES.txt) and archives can be found there: http://wfmh.org.pl/carlos/.Enjoy ;)
still maintained?
I wrote a patch for webalizer to show human readable file sizes, but the author didn't respond...does anybody how to contact the author?
User Color configurable
I wrote a patch for webalizer that allow one to customize the colors of the charts with his/her own 10 colors map, in webalizer.conf. check webalizer-2.01-10-UserColor.diff (http://brouits.free.fr/share/patches/webalizer-2.01-10-UserColor.diff)
if you want to put your own colors.
different log format
I'm using different (really custom :) log format, and webalizer doesn't work. I known the webalizer's format, but I cannot use this program :(
Maybe I write a patch for webalizer for customing log input (because I think it's a great program).
Really the best tool
I'm using Webalizer over a year, it's always great to process gzip'ped raw-IP logs. It's webazolver is nice too, but I wanted a bit more... So I attempted to integrate GeoIP (http://freshmeat.net/projects/geoip) into Webalizer, the result is a patch called geolizer, check it out here (http://freshmeat.net/projects/geolizer).
Once again, Webalizer kicks ass!
Very good...
I think it is a brilliant project. I use this proc since last 3 month and it worked good. Everybody should use this programm....
