In formal language theory and computer programming, string concatenation is the operation of joining two character strings end-to-end. For example, the concatenation of "snow" and "ball" is "snowball". In some but not all formalizations of concatenation theory, also called string theory, string concatenation is a primitive notion.
In many programming languages, string concatenation is a binary infix operator. The "+" operator is often overloaded to denote concatenation for string arguments:
"Hello, " + "World" has the value
"Hello, World".
Concatenation of sets of strings[edit]
In formal language theory and pattern matching (including regular expressions), the concatenation operation on strings is generalized to an operation on sets of strings as follows:
For two sets of strings S1 and S2, the concatenation S1S2 consists of all strings of the form vw where v is a string from S1 and w is a string from S2.
In this definition, the string vw is the ordinary concatenation of strings v and w as defined in the introductory section. In this context, sets of strings are often referred to as formal languages.
There is typically no explicit concatenation operator, simply juxtaposition (as with multiplication).
In programming for telephony, concatenation is used to provide dynamic audio feedback to a user. For example in a "time of day" speaking clock, concatenation is used to give the correct time by playing the appropriate recordings concatenated together. For example:
- "At the tone the time will be"
- "Eight"
- "Thirty"
- "Five"
- "and"
- "Twenty"
- "Two"
- "Seconds"
The recordings themselves exist separately, but playing them one after the other provides a grammatically correct sentence to the listener.
This technique is also used in number change announcements, voice mail systems, or most telephony applications that provide dynamic feedback to the caller (e.g. moviefone, tellme, and others).
Programming for any kind of computerized public address system can also employ concatenation for dynamic public announcements (for example, flights in an airport). The system would archive recorded speech of numbers, routes or airlines, destinations, times, etc. and play them back in a specific sequence to produce a grammatically correct sentence that is announced throughout the facility.
Database theory[edit]
One of the principles of relational database design is that the fields of data tables should reflect a single characteristic of the table's subject, which means that they should not contain concatenated strings. When concatenation is desired in a report, it should be provided at the time of running the report. For example, to display the physical address of a certain customer, the data might include building number, street name, building subunit number, city name, state/province name, postal code, and country name, e.g., "123 Fake St Apt 4, Boulder, CO 80302, USA", which combines seven fields. However, the customers data table should not use one field to store that concatenated string; rather, the concatenation of the seven fields should happen upon running the report. The reason for such principles is that without them, the entry and updating of large volumes of data becomes error-prone and labor-intensive. Separately entering the city, state, ZIP code, and nation allows data-entry validation (such as detecting an invalid state abbreviation). Then those separate items can be used for sorting or indexing the records, such as all with "Boulder" as the city name.

Cooking From Every Angle
Mary's Healthy Ice Cream Sandwiches
Every summer for the second half of August, my husband Tad's family decamps to a house in Wainscott, New York, that they've owned for 99 years. The big old house, which survived the 1938 hurricane, tolerates our wear and tear and seems to get more handsome by the year.
Our kids and their cousins spend their days going to the beach, catching crabs in the pond, playing tennis and soccer and flashlight tag, and then all collapsing into sleep in a pitched-ceiling room on the third floor, known as "The Crow's Nest." The parents, meanwhile, spend their days scrambling after the kids, sneaking in a little reading and tennis, and doing a lot of shopping and cooking.
Dinners are divided up so that each night just one person is in charge of the dinner for 12, giving everyone else a chance to relax a bit. On my cooking days, I tend to buy up as many tomatoes and ears of corn as possible from the farmstand, and head to The Seafood Shop for the main course.
On one of my nights this year, I made the Raspberry Ice Cream Sandwiches for dessert -– which were not only a Wildcard winner on the site, but a wild success among Tad's family. While we devoured them, my father-in-law's girlfriend, Mary -- yep, you can still have a girlfriend at age 81 -- told me about a favorite evening snack. She toasts two slices of whole wheat bread, and, while the bread's still warm, smushes a scoop of chocolate ice cream between the slices. Et voila, an instant ice cream sandwich that's the rag-tag cousin of pain au chocolat.
Mary insists the whole wheat bread makes it healthy. I like Mary.
I made her ice cream sandwiches for my next dinner. Everyone watched skeptically as I loaded up toasts with chocolate ice cream and passed them around the table. I didn't pull it off quite right -– I used a multi-grain baguette that was a bit too "multi" and baguette slices just aren't cushy enough.
But back in Brooklyn, I got it right.
I used a loaf of soft and nutty sandwich bread and used a cookie cutter to make circles.
The circles, once toasted, should be crisp but fluffy. You want them to work as a buffer for the ice cream.
I made the roundest scoops of ice cream in my power, and topped the sandwich with another warm toast cap. Then I smushed.
And smushed. And smushed it down. Until the ice cream spread to the edge of the toast. These two little beauties look like they're posing, don't they? Wouldn't you?
There's no need to tweak this simple treat but, if you must, try adding flaky salt, or a warm, toasted marshmallow, or some hazelnut butter, slathered on the toast.
But wait -- we're not done yet! Remember the bread with the cut-out circle? No need to waste it -- this is a twofer, a recipe that would make Tamar Adler proud. Eat your ice cream sandwiches, and in the morning use the bread frames for Toad in a Hole or Merrill's One-Eyed Sandwiches.
Mary's Healthy Ice Cream Sandwiches

This reminds me of the gelato served on a split brioche-type roll in Italy. (I think it may originate in Sicily, but I actually ate my first one way north in Camogli.) Standing up at a caffe bar, drinking an espresso and eating ice cream at 8 am - it may not qualify as a healthy breakfast, but I can assure you it did wonders for my mental health.

Is chocolate ice cream healthy? Most would say "no". So how does adding 2 pieces of bread to it transmogrify it into having that status? Some kind of alchemy going on here.
But seriously, I think the qualifier here should have been "healthier" and not "healthy". Even if it was, I'd still take offense because a lot of whole wheat bread is loaded with sugar, and when compared to the thin chocolate cookies you often get on either side of an ice cream sandwich it actually has more (not less) sugar AND calories. Healthier? Maybe not.
Let's not sacrifice reality for the sake of a catchy title - whaddya say?
over 1 year ago istva
Torvum, you are absolutely incorrect. I have no idea where you've got your information. Whole wheat breads are not 'loaded with sugar', the majority of them have around 3-4g of sugar, sometimes even much less (like Nature's Own, which has less than 1g). Most ice cream sandwiches use a wafer like outside, which can range in 10-20g alone, just in the sandwich bread itself. Please do research next time instead of jumping the gun.
Too bad your condescending attitude can't back-up your intelligence.

It is true that there's wide variation in how much sugar, calories, etc. are in whole wheat bread. But, apart from that, you may want to consider the possibility that the name is tongue in cheek. As far as I could tell from the way Amanda told her story, that is what was intended, and I know I certainly meant to have a joking tone when I replied that these sandwiches were healthy for sure.
over 1 year ago torvum
@istva: First of all, you assume that I'm from where you live, which if I'm guessing correctly, is America. There's plenty of whole wheat bread where I'm from that has sugar, or honey, or other sucrose-containing additives, like molasses for instance. There's nothing about "whole wheat" bread that is intrinsically healthy. I could stud my whole wheat bread with M&M's and it would still be called "whole wheat bread".
@fiveandspice" And yes, it's undoubtedly a tongue-in-cheek usage of "healthy", but that isn't very helpful for those of us that are trying to find actually healthy recipes on food52. In fact, it's misleading and mildly frustrating. At best the joke is dimly amusing; at worst it could give someone genuinely looking for "healthy" recipes the wrong impression

@torvum, we love to welcome new members of Food52, but it's difficult to embrace your comments. I trust that you (and most readers) know what you're getting into when eating an ice cream sandwich, no matter what kind of bread you're using. It's a dessert, and it contains fat and sugar. Disrespectful comments don't enrich the community and they don't build relationships -- two of the vital things we do here. We welcome your participation on the site, but please keep in mind that we count on our members to be polite and generous, even in disagreement.

No doubt about it - this looks delicious. I made a Viana LaPlace recipe from the book Desserts and Sweet Snacks, which is a piece of beautiful bread (like Jim Lahey's No-Knead), untoasted, spread with lemon marmalade and topped with best quality - I hope your own - vanilla ice cream. An open-face ice cream sandwich. Scrumptious.

This is so great! Healthy for sure. I definitely have to give this a try. I feel like there are places where it's common to eat ice cream sandwiches made by putting ice cream into a brioche roll as well, though I can't remember where that is, now.

Proof: This proof is by induction on n.
No, not a theorem. An observation that can be proved.
Is this a theorem or ? Thanks very much for your explanation. Happy holidays.
2^10,000 is approximate 10^3011.
Sorry again for asking but can you explain how did you got to this - (2^10 000)! = 10^10^3011 I tried the Stirling formula but nothing like this Thanks again.
2^10000 = 199506311688075838488374216268358508382349683188619245485200894985294388302219\
You work out how many digits a number has by taking log(10) of it and rounding up.
"2^10,000 contain 3011 digits" - Can you explain me please how did you find that out Thanks.
This is true because for any number n greater than 100, n!>>10^n.
The value of (2^10000)! can be found approximately using the James-Stirling formula,
I think it would be easier if we transferred the lg bit to the right hand side.
This is a bit of chalange for me and that is why I am posting it here The problem says: Prove that

Photos trap to help victims of violence
4:30pm Wednesday 4th December 2013 in News By Ian Craig
A WORCESTERSHIRE organisation is urging victims of domestic abuse to make use of a project helping them gather evidence against their attacker.
The Visual Evidence for Victims project helps people take photographs of injuries or items that have been damaged that can be used in a prosecution.
The project is run by Victim Support, the police and other organisations and is able to store the photographs securely so they are available when needed in any action against an abuser. Strategic co-ordinator of the Worcestershire Forum Against Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence, Martin Lakeman, described the project as "an excellent initiative".
"Victims are often too scared and intimidated to report their abuse to the police so by recording the evidence it ensures that the horror of domestic abuse can be stored safely and securely," he said.
"Photos are only taken with the agreement of the victim and all of them are treated with dignity and understanding."
Meanwhile, the White Ribbon Campaign, which is working to stamp out domestic violence against women, entered its second week.
The initiative, which is supported by your Worcester News, began on Monday, November 25 and will run until Tuesday, December 10.
The campaign was founded in 1991 in Canada in remembrance of the École Polytechnique massacre in December 1989, in which 14 women were killed by an anti-feminist. Today it has spread to more than 57 countries and sees people across the world wearing white ribbons in a personal pledge not to commit or condone domestic violence.
More than 750 people in Worcestershire have pledged "never to commit, condone or remain silent about domestic abuse and sexual violence in all its forms", with campaigners hope to sign up 10,000supporters.
To add your pledge visit worcesternews.co.uk/whiteribbon, or whiteribboncampaign.co.uk/worcestershire. Anyone suffering from domestic abuse can call Worcestershire Forum Against Domestic Abuse in confidence on 0800 980 3331.

Sorana is playing against Wozniacki now, I hope Sori can pull it off! Go Soranaaa!!
She won and now against Lisicki.
Like them both.
Good luck !!!
Me too ;] Great that Sori beat Wozniacki. Congrats to Sori!
Sorana 63 10 when Sabine retired.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 07, 2009STADIUM start 12:00 noon Pacific time (19:00 GMT) EurosportS Cirstea (ROU) vs [8} A Radwanska (POL)
Good luck in the quarterfinal! [H]
Maria today............ against U.Radwanska
Next one for Sorana against A.Radwanska
I'm so happy.
Sorana and Maria beating a Radwanska.
Congratulations !!!
Better it could not happen.
Good luck for the semifinal !!!
[quote user="Lord_Racing"]She is hot! seen her in reality is hoter then ivanovic! seen her as well![/quote]
For sure Sori is hotter than Ana, but I mean it's not that hard to be hotter than Ivanovic, Ana's face looks dreadfull and anti-sleep at times.[:D]
Indeed, Sorana is a hottie--and will be more so after a little training. (The trouble with her feet may well go away if she drops as little as five to ten pounds.)
I wanna say that the foot trouble wasn't all she had to contend with yesterday. The match with Radwanska was on a playing field far from level! She had good reason for her outbursts. A number of line calls were seriously suspicious and even the Yank commentators were moved on one point to question the chair's behavior. Frankly, I felt some of his decisions were to offset Radwanska's incompetence--particularly in the first & part of the second sets.
This has to be regarded in the context of the coverage. The "world feed" (same thing Eurosport is showing) was so blatantly tilted to put Radwanska in your face that is was not amusing. It was very clear who the broadcasters favored.
After Sorana won anyway, ESPN2 replayed the match after Maria's last night. Guess what? The tape had been noticeably retooled to create the illusion of fair & balanced coverage! See, these sh!ts know exactly what they're doing.
So, Cirstea had an uphill fight in many ways. At this point, (with movement issues due to foot pain) I think she could only take Stosur if Sam nods off but we know that can happen. [;)] Whatever way things go tonight, however, Cirstea has already accomplished a lot here. [H]
I think Sori has a chance against Sam because Sam was a bit inconsistent in her match against Zheng but every match is a new match. It's gonna be a tight one for sure, I'm watching it tonight on Eurosport :]
LOL about Ivanovic and I agree with you guys! I've seen both in real life too and Sorana is so pretty, plus she came across as a really lovely girl. [:)]
Anyways congrats to Sorana for the victory! Good Luck against Sam, I'll be happy whoever wins though, like them both. [:)]
yeah she is beautifull compared to other playes sucha kirilenko
allot is ahead of her
in a few years she will be in the top 10 trust me
she even made it to the semis in the L.A tournament , most youn players would goout 1st round but she diffrent , she is fighter and damm beautifull lol
I'm so happy for Sorana.
She got established.
Against Elena today - not easy.

By David Hench
Staff Writer
Arming teachers in response to the school shootings last week in Newtown, Conn., would not be a good way to make schools safer, public safety officials in Maine said Friday.
"At first blush, I would have to say that's a terrible idea," said Portland Police Chief Michael Sauschuck.
"I want our teachers, our professional educators, to be doing just that, to be focusing on their passion, their job, and that is educating children.
"I think the answer is less guns, not more guns, quite frankly," he said.
Jeff Weinstein, a former Yarmouth School Committee member who is president of the Maine Gun Owners Association, said Thursday that allowing teachers and other staff members who have concealed-weapons permits to bring guns to school would help protect students against a gunman.
A state lawmaker from Hampden has proposed legislation to make that possible. Similar proposals have been made in other states in the past week.
Several law enforcement officials said that approach could actually increase the danger.
"Do we really want to go to that extent?" said York County Sheriff Maurice Ouellette.
"What if an irate person came in and was kind of upset at their ex who hadn't dropped the child off the night before, and somebody pulls a gun and shoots them?"
Cumberland County Sheriff Kevin Joyce said it takes extensive and ongoing training for officers to learn about responding to potentially violent situations, and when and how to use a gun.
Teachers lack such training, he said.
Joyce said communities would favor a federal program to expand the number of police officers in schools.
He said Lake Region High School in Naples and Gray-New Gloucester High School have expressed interest in hiring resource officers if they get some help paying the cost.
On Friday, the National Rifle Association called on Congress to put armed officers or security personnel in every school, and suggested that armed volunteers could be used to avoid a huge expense.
Such proposals are probably unrealistic, police said.
"I would love to have the resources to have more school resource officers -- and youth services officers and drug agents and patrol officers," said Sauschuck.
Col. Robert Williams, chief of the Maine State Police, didn't reject the idea of allowing teachers to carry guns, but he didn't endorse it.
"There are going to be a number of pieces of legislation under discussion this winter regarding gun control and how we protect our children," he said.
"We will listen to them all, evaluate them as far as what is the best public safety position" and work with legislators to advance the best ideas.
The state police do not routinely station troopers at schools, but Williams noted that troopers have made 858 school visits this year.
Many involved reviewing safety plans, conducting exercises and critiquing drills, he said.
"Maine is a safe state," Williams said. "Now we're exploring violence that's happened in other states to make sure it doesn't happen here, and to what extent do we provide security, armed or otherwise, at schools."

Addicted to Tobacco Money
Officials are Trying to Change the Rules of their Game with Cigarette Makers
In the 1998 agreement that the nation's largest tobacco companies signed with 46 states, they agreed to contribute hundreds of millions of dollars a year to anti-smoking efforts targeted at children. The payments were only to be made, however, if the market share of the companies in question stayed above a certain level. Their market share has dropped below the agreed-upon level, but state attorneys general are trying to force the companies to make the payments anyway.

Is the FCC Poised for a Power Grab?
Troubling Changes Proposed to Broadcast Decency Standards
Consumers are facing the threat of greater regulation of television and radio broadcasting from Congress and the Federal Communications Commission over allegedly indecent content. Many of the "solutions" to media indecency being proposed would violate the free expression guarantees of the First Amendment and make government—not consumers—the ultimate arbiter of programming content.

The Story Behind Skyrocketing Gas Prices
Federal Regulations Add Their Share to Increasing Costs
With gasoline reaching over $2 a gallon in some cities across the country, many Americans are asking themselves what is responsible for the sharp rise in prices in recent weeks. Unbeknownst to most Americans, the federal government's web of rules regulating "boutique" gasoline blends has made it much more difficult to produce the affordable gas and diesel consumers have come to expect. Special blends of "reformulated" gasoline, new low sulfur requirements, and many other regulations have made refining an increasingly expensive business, especially in the summer months when the rules are even tighter.

How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalizationby Franklin Foer
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Soccer. Football. The beautiful game. The worlds most popular sport goes by many names, but for decades, fans have agreed on one thing: the greatest player of all time was Pelé. Now the legendary star, ambassador, and humanitarian shares a global vision for what soccer can accomplish. Now he shares his story, his experience, and his insights on the game for the very first time.
Before Messi, before Ronaldo, before Beckham, there was Edson Arantes do Nascimento—known simply as Pelé. A national treasure, he created pure magic with his accomplishments on the field: an unprecedented three World Cup championships and the all-time scoring record, with 1,283 goals in his twenty year career.
Now, with the World Cup returning after more than sixty years to Brazil—the country often credited with perfecting the sport—soccer has a unique opportunity to encourage change on a global level. And as the tournaments official ambassador, Pelé is ready to be the face of progress.
For the first time ever Pelé explores the recent history of the game and provides new insights into soccers role connecting and galvanizing players around the world. He has traveled the world as the global ambassador for soccer and in support of charitable organizations such as Unicef, promoting the positive influences soccer can have to transform young men and women, struggling communities, even entire nations. In groundbreaking detail and with unparalleled openness, he shares his most inspiring experiences, heartwarming stories and hard-won wisdom, and he puts the game in perspective.
This is Pelés legacy, his way of passing on everything hes learned and inspiring a new generation. In Why Soccer Matters, Pelé details his ambitious goals for the future of the sport and, by extension, the world.
Commemorative poster inside the jacket
This wide-ranging work of reportage is a unique and brilliantly illuminating look at the world's most popular sport as a new metaphor for the pressing issues of our age, from the clash of civilizations to the global economy.
"An eccentric, fascinating exposé of a world most of us know nothing about."
—The New York Times Book Review
"An insightful, entertaining, brainiac sports road trip."
"Foers skills as a narrator are enviable. His characterizations… are comparable to those in Norman Mailer's journalism."
A groundbreaking work—named one of the five most influential sports books of the decade by Sports Illustrated—How Soccer Explains the World is a unique and brilliantly illuminating look at soccer, the worlds most popular sport, as a lens through which to view the pressing issues of our age, from the clash of civilizations to the global economy.
Soccer is much more than a game, or even a way of life. It's a perfect window into the crosscurrents of today's world, with all its joys and sorrows. In this remarkably insightful, wide-ranging work of reportage, Franklin Foer takes us on a surprising tour through the world of soccer, shining a spotlight on the clash of civilizations, the international economy, and just about everything in between. How Soccer Explains the World is an utterly original book that makes sense of our troubled times.

New Jersey's Attorney General announced Tuesday that a civilian employee of the New Jersey State Police was charged with posing as an inspector to coerce two men into giving her a generator following Hurricane Sandy.
Marcella Friedman, 49, of Oaklyn, N.J. was employed as a state police communications systems technician. Investigators say on October 31, Friedman confronted two men who were selling generators on the side of a road in Burlington County.
Friendman was allegedly wearing a field jacket with a state police logo and carrying a police radio. She allegedly falsely represented herself by saying she had the authority to shut down their operation if they failed to present a proper permit. She told the men she would allow them to continue to sell their generators as long as she could have one, free of charge, investigators said.
The men gave her a 8,500-watt generator, which she allegedly gave to a relative. Investigators say that relative then sold the generator to an unknown third party.
Friedman was on disability leave at the time of the incident. She remains on leave.
"Our troopers and civilian employees sacrificed so much in their response to Hurricane Sandy, many working days without ever returning home," said Colonel Rick Fuentes, Superintendent of the New Jersey State Police.
To see anyone abusing the State Police name for personal gain in the wake of this disaster is contemptible."

A Tale of Two Plays - theatre reveiws
Well today I was lucky enough to catch two plays while I was in london.
First off was The Glass Menagerie at The Apollo Theatre. first off I just have to say what a beautiful theatre this is, and in great condition with very friendly staff. Im finding Nimax Theatres now as much as a pleasure to visit as Delfont Mackintosh ones. This was also my first Tennessee Williams play.
I LOVED this production, everything about it screamed class and quality. The sets were simple but very affective, and the lighting and projections were subtle but worked with stunning effect. It was a truely atmospheric production. On arrival at the theatre I was saddened to hear that they had closed the top two sections and only had Dress Circle and Stalls open (I had prebooked the stalls anyway), so the play obviously isnt a sell out.
The play itself I found completely engrossing and fast moving. I was never bored or even contemplated looking at my watch. It was thought provoking and moving, it made me look at my life and family in a different way - actually afterwards I just wanted to hug my mum! There are parts of this play that I think everyone will find they can in some way relate to.
Its a small cast, but what a cast. I wasnt a fan of Jessica Lange beforehand (I didnt 'not' like her, just had neevr really seen her in anything) however she took control on stage. I wasnt watching Jessica Lange being Amanda, I was watching Amanda. She gives a performance so touching, fragile, spirited, and at times frustrating it gives so much depth to the character. Its often the little things that make the biggest meaning, a look, the constant playing with her sons hair, her girlish laughter at her memories of 'gentleman callers', she has a wide range from fussing mother to faded southern belle.
Ed Stoppard as Tom is a tortured soul, struggling between his desire to escape and his commitments at home. Although in Act 2 he doesnt really take centre stage, Act 1 he makes a memorable impression, and can switch from comedy to drama on a dime. He has a great brooding presence, and has truely penetrating eyes. You feel for him with his frustration, scared of becoming like his father, but yearning for another life.
Mark Umbers, in a relatively small part in many ways, manages to convey a charcter of depth and shows that dispite his characters happy charm, lies an inner unhappiness. Its his scene by candlelight with Amandas daughter Laura that captures the essence of the production.
Last but no means least is Amanda Hale as Laura, a truely stunning performance that actually for me just outshone Jessica's. Lauara is played so carefully, delicately and simply that at first she is overshadowed. by her brother and mother. But this play is all about Laura - its her story, and this gradually shines through. Every little movement conveys Lauras thoughts and feelings, and you truely care for this young and troubled girl. She just inhabits this charcter and for me its one of the best performances ive seen in a long while.
The scene between Laura and her gentleman caller (Mark Umbers) is so beautifully written, directed and acted that you can literally see the audience hanging on every word. It is a pleasure to see the nervy Laura slowly let down her guard to him, and you feel her joy, and sadness with every breath.
I truely cant speak highly enough of this production and with so many deals about you really should catch this play, and this cast while you can.
Next up was my first visit to the Old Vic for 'The Entertainer'. Well first off have to say, really dont like the theatre. Good legroom I admit but it feels so cavernous, just didnt have a nice feel about the place.
Now ive gone on way too long about the Glass Menagerie so ill be brief on The Entertainer - which to be honest is easy to do!
I dont know why but I found it a bit slow, it just never grabbed me or came to life. Robert Lindsay was excellent, cant fault his performance. Pam Ferris was also good (although not great). The play itself just felt very old, there was nothing fresh about it, almost like I was watching it in the 50's now. I didnt like Emma Cunniffe at all im afraid, found her to be quite bland, maybe thats how its written?! The first scene between grandad and grandaughter seemed to go on forever. I think what didnt help was I didnt relate to any of the characters and it just didnt feel like a real family, I didnt feel involved in the play.
I know it got raves from critics but sorry didnt grab me!

I wish I had seen The Glass Menagerie when I was in London recently, but I had seen a production in Toronto last year and couldn't fit it in my schedule. It's really such a lovely play. Not over the top like Streetcar, but more relatable to the audience, I think. I mean, as frustrating and overbearing as Amanada is, we know that she's doing it out of love for her children. And one can relate that to our own family. Similarly, while Tom feels an obligation to Laura (and to Amanda), at some point he feels he wants to have a life of his own--and the only way is to separate, to leave, although he regrets what might seem as cruelty.
I had attended a weekday matinee and there was a student group in the audience. It was clear that the girls, at least, could related to Laura, as they laughed and sighed during her awkward 'date' with the Gentleman Caller. And I thought it was great that modern teenagers could relate to a play written in the '40's and set in a time and place so different from theirs. It's a testament to Tennessee Williams's timeless writing.

Printing and Gentoo Linux
Use the Right Tools
Linux has great support for printers; the right tool for the job is called CUPS ( Common Unix Printing System ). Since the beginning of the project, back in 1999, the installation and maintenance of CUPS has improved dramatically.
In this document we will cover how to use CUPS to setup a local or networked printer. We will not go in too much detail since the project has great documentation available for advanced usage.
Configure your Kernel
When you want to install a printer on your system you need to know how your printer will be attached to your system. Is it through a local port like LPT or USB, or is it networked? And if it is, does it use the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) or is it through the Microsoft Windows SMB-CIFS protocol (Microsoft Windows Sharing)?
The next few sections explain what minimal kernel configuration you need. Of course, this depends on how your printer is going to be attached to your system, so for your convenience we have separated the instructions.
So navigate to /usr/src/linux and run
make menuconfig to enter the kernel configuration. If you used
genkernel to configure your kernel, you should still perform these steps just to make sure nothing was missed out.
In the next configuration examples, we will add the necessary support in the kernel, not as modules. This is not mandatory; if you want you can easily use modular support. Don't forget to load the appropriate modules afterwards.
Now go to the appropriate section to configure (or check) your kernel.
Locally Attached Printer (LPT)
The LPT port is generally used to identify the parallel printer port. You need to enable parallel port support first, then PC-style parallel port support (unless you are a SPARC user) after which you enable parallel printer support.
Device Drivers --> <*> Parallel port support <*> PC-style hardware Device Drivers --> Character Devices --> <*> Parallel printer support [*] IEEE 1284 transfer modes)
Parallel port support section. Check the kernel configuration
Help function for more information.
That's it; quit the kernel configuration and rebuild your kernel. Don't forget to copy the new kernel image to the /boot location (and don't forget to mount /boot if needed) and update your boot loader configuration prior to rebooting your system.
Now continue with CUPS.
Locally Attached Printer (USB)
To enable USB printing, you just need USB support in your kernel:
Device Drivers --> USB Support --> <*> Support for Host-side USB (...) --- USB Host Controller Drivers (Select the HCD that your system uses. If you do not know which one to select, run "lspci -v | grep HCI" from another terminal) <*> EHCI HCD (USB 2.0) support ( or ) <*> OHCI HCD support ( or ) <*> UHCI HCD (most Intel and VIA) support
That's it; quit the kernel configuration and rebuild your kernel. Don't forget to copy the new kernel image to the /boot location (and don't forget to mount /boot if needed) and update your boot loader configuration prior to rebooting your system.
Now continue with CUPS.
Remotely Attached Printer (IPP)
To be able to connect to a remotely attached printer through the Internet Printing Protocol your kernel just needs to have networking support. Assuming your kernel has that already, continue with CUPS.
Remotely Attached Printer (SMB-CIFS)
Your kernel must support SMB CIFS:
File systems --> Network File Systems --> <*> SMB file system support (to mount Windows shares etc.) <*> CIFS support (advanced network file system for Samba, Windows and other CIFS compliant servers)
That's it; quit the kernel configuration and rebuild your kernel. Don't forget to copy the new kernel image to the /boot location (and don't forget to mount /boot if needed) and update your boot loader configuration prior to rebooting your system.
Now continue with CUPS.
Installing and Configuring CUPS
Installing CUPS with Gentoo is a breeze. CUPS has a few optional features that might interest you. To enable or disable those features, use the USE flags associated with them.
|USE flag
|Impact on CUPS
| Adds support for the
dbus system message bus.
|Adds support for printing JPEG images.
|Enable National Language Support. With nls in place, CUPS is able to deliver localized feedback so you can hopefully enjoy CUPS in your native language.
|If you need print job authentication through the Pluggable Authentication Modules, this will activate PAM support for CUPS.
|Adds support for php scripting.
|Adds support for printing PNG images.
|Adds support for automatically generated ppd (printing driver) files. See #Installing_the_Best_Driver .
|If you want to be able to share locally attached printers to Windows systems on your network using the SMB-CIFS protocol, or you want to be able to use shared printers from Windows systems, you need SAMBA support.
|In a managed environment the printer might be made available as a service to others. With the Service Location Protocol you can easily find and configure a service on your system. Enable this USE flag if your printer is available as a service or should be made available as one.
|If you want remote authentication and/or privacy, you need support for the Secure Socket Layer, allowing for encrypted printing sessions. Support for SSL must be available on all participating systems in your network.
|Adds support for printing TIFF images.
|Allows you to use your desktop menu to load the CUPS configuration webpage into your preferred browser.
Check the current USE settings. If you want to deviate from your current USE settings for CUPS alone, add the appropriate USE flags to /etc/portage/package.use .
For instance, to enable SAMBA support for CUPS:
net-print/cups samba
If you are happy with the result, have Portage install CUPS.
lp group. Add them by running (as root)
gpasswd -a username lp .
If the printer is attached to your system locally, you need to load CUPS automatically on start-up. Make sure your printer is attached and powered on before you start CUPS.
The default CUPS server configuration in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf is sufficient for most users. However, several users might need some changes to the CUPS configuration.
In the next sections we cover a few changes that are often needed:
- we allow other systems to use the printer attached to this Linux workstation.
- we grant access to the CUPS administration from remote systems
- we configure CUPS to support Windows PCL drivers. This is advised if you want Windows systems to be able to use a Samba-shared printer as most Windows drivers are PCL drivers.
- we configure this system to use a printer attached to another system (not Windows share).
Remote Printer Access
If you want other systems to use your printer through IPP you need to explicitly grant access to the printer in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf . If you want to share your printer using SAMBA, this change is not needed.
Open up /etc/cups/cupsd.conf in your favorite editor and add in an
Allow line for the system(s) that should be able to reach to your printer. In the next example, we grant access to the printer from localhost and from any system whose IP address starts with
192.168.0 .
<Location /> Order allow,deny Allow localhost Allow from 192.168.0.* </Location>
This broadcasts browsing information to the clients on the network. This is so that they know the printer is available:
BrowseAddress 192.168.0.*:631
Also, you will need to specify which port CUPS listens to, so that it will respond to printing requests from other machines on your network.
Listen *:631 #Listen localhost:631
Port 631 (Make sure the next two lines are commented out) #Listen 127.0.0.1:631 #Listen localhost:631
CUPS Remote Administration
If you are interested in remote administration, you need to grant access from other systems than just localhost to the CUPS administration. Edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and have it explicitly grant access to the systems you want. For instance, to grant access to the system with IP address of 192.168.0.3:
<Location /admin> (...) Encryption Required Order allow,deny Allow localhost Allow 192.168.0.3 </Location>
Do not forget to restart CUPS after making changes to /etc/cups/cupsd.conf by running
/etc/init.d/cupsd restart .
Enable Support for Windows PCL Drivers
PCL drivers send raw data to the print server. To enable raw printing on CUPS, you need to edit /usr/share/cups/mime/mime.types and uncomment the line
application/octet-stream if it is not already uncommented. Then you need to edit /usr/share/cups/mime/mime.convs and do the same, if it is not already uncommented.
application/octet-stream application/vnd.cups-raw 0 -
Do not forget to restart CUPS after making these changes by running
/etc/init.d/cupsd restart .
Setting Up a Remote Printer
If the printers are attached to a remote CUPS-powered server you can easily set up your system to use the remote printer by changing the /etc/cups/client.conf file.
Assuming the printer is attached to a system called
printserver.mydomain , open up /etc/cups/client.conf with your favorite editor and set the
ServerName directive:
# (Substitute printserver.mydomain with your print server name) ServerName printserver.mydomain
The remote system will have a default printer setting which you will be using. If you want to change the default printer, use
lpoptions :
First list the available printers:
Set the HP LaserJet 5P as the default printer:
Configuring a Printer
If the printer you want to configure is remotely available through a different print server (running CUPS) you do not need to follow these instructions. Instead, read #Setting_Up_a_Remote_Printer .
Detecting the Printer
If you have a USB printer or your parallel port printer was powered on when you booted your Linux system, you might be able to retrieve information from the kernel stating that it has successfully detected your printer. However this is merely an indication and not a requirement.
For a USB printer:
Installing the Printer
To have the printer installed on your system, fire up your browser and have it point to http://localhost:631 . You will be greeted by the CUPS web interface from which you can perform all administrative tasks.
Go to Administration and enter your root login and password information at the box. Then, when you have reached the administrative interface, click on Add Printer . You will be greeted by a new screen allowing you to enter the following information:
- The spooler name , a short but descriptive name used on your system to identify the printer. This name should not contain spaces or any special characters. For instance, for the HP LaserJet 5P you could say
- The location , a description where the printer is physically located (for instance in your room, or in the kitchen right next to your dish washer, ...). This is to help maintaining several printers.
- The description in which you should place a full description of the printer. A common use is the full printer name (like "HP LaserJet 5P").
The next screen asks you for the device where the printer listens to. You will have the choice of several devices. The next table covers a few possible devices, but the list is not exhaustive.
|AppSocket/HP JetDirect
|This special device allows for network printers to be accessible through a HP JetDirect socket. Only specific printers support this.
|Internet Printing Protocol (IPP or HTTP)
|Use this to reach your remote printer through the IPP protocol either directly (IPP) or through HTTP.
|LPD/LPR Host or Printer
|Select this if the printer is remote and attached to a LPD/LPR server.
|Parallel Port #1
|Select this when the printer is locally attached to your parallel port (LPT). When the printer is automatically detected its name will be appended to the device as well.
|USB Printer #1
|Select this when the printer is locally attached to a USB port. The printer name should automatically be appended to the device name.
If you are installing a remote printer, you will be asked for the URI to the printer:
- An LPD printer server requires a
- An HP JetDirect printer requires a
- An IPP printer requires a
Next, select the printer manufacturer in the adjoining screen and the model type and number in the subsequent one. For many printers you will find multiple drivers. You can either select one now or search on LinuxPrinting.org's Printer List for a good driver. You can change drivers easily later on.
Once the driver is selected, CUPS will inform you that the printer has been added successfully to the system. You can now go to the printer management page on the administration interface and select
Configure Printer to change the printer settings (resolution, page format, ...).
Testing and Reconfiguring the Printer
To verify if the printer is working correctly, go to the printer administration page, select your printer and click on
Print Test Page .
If the printer does not seem to work correctly, click on
Modify Printer to reconfigure the printer. You will be greeted with the same screens as during the first installation but the defaults will now be your current configuration.
If you have no idea why your printer does not function, you might get a clue by looking at /var/log/cups/error_log . In the next example we find out that there is a permission error, probably due to a wrong
Allow setting in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf .
Installing the Best Driver
Many printer drivers exist; to find out which one has the best performance for your printer, visit the LinuxPrinting Printer List . Select your brand and type to find out what driver the site recommends. For instance, for the HP LaserJet 5P, the site recommends the
ljet4 driver.
Download the PPD file from the site and place it in /usr/share/cups/model , then run
/etc/init.d/cupsd restart as root. This will make the driver available through the CUPS web interface. Now reconfigure your printer as described above.
Using Special Printer Drivers
Some printers require specific drivers or provide additional features that are not enabled through the regular configuration process as described above. This chapter will discuss a selection of printers and how they are made to work with Gentoo Linux.
Gutenprint Driver
The gutenprint drivers are high-quality, open source printer drivers for various Canon, Epson, HP, Lexmark, Sony, Olympus and PCL printers supporting CUPS, ghostscript, The Gimp and other applications.
Gentoo's Portage Tree contains an ebuild for the gutenprint drivers. Just use
emerge to install them. Note that the ebuild listens to quite a few USE flags (such as
cups and
ppds ). You must have enabled at least these two flags!
When the emerge process has finished, the gutenprint drivers will be available through the CUPS web interface.
HPLIP Driver
See HPLIP Driver.
PNM2PPA Driver
PPA is an HP technology that focuses on sending low-level processing to the system instead of to the printer which makes the printer cheaper but more resource consuming.
If the LinuxPrinting site informs you that the pnm2ppa driver is your best option, you need to install the
pnm2ppa filter on your system:
Once installed, download the PPD file for your printer from the LinuxPrinting site and put it in /usr/share/cups/model . Next, configure your printer using the steps explained above.
Printing From and To Microsoft Windows
Configuring a Windows Client for IPP
Microsoft Windows supports IPP (Windows 9x and ME users need to install it separately). To install a printer that is attached to your Linux box on Windows, fire up the
Add Printer wizard and select
Network Printer . When you are asked for the URI, use the
http://hostname:631/printers/queue syntax.
To share the printer on the SMB-CIFS network, you must have SAMBA installed and configured correctly. How to do this is beyond the scope of this document, but we will quickly deal with the configuration of SAMBA for shared printers.
Open /etc/samba/smb.conf with your favorite editor and add a
[printers] section to it:
[printers] comment = All printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = no writable = no printable = yes public = yes printer name = hpljet5p
Now navigate to the top of the smb.conf file until you are inside the
[global] section. Then locate the
printcap name and
printing settings and set each of them to
cups :
[global] (...) printcap name = cups printing = cups
Make sure you enabled the #windows_pcl support in CUPS. Then, restart the
smb service to have the changes take effect.
Configuring a Linux Client for a Windows Print Server
First of all, make sure that the printer is shared on your Windows system.
Next, in the CUPS web interface, configure your printer as described previously. You will notice that CUPS has added another driver called
Windows Printer via SAMBA . Select it and use the
smb://username:password@workgroup/server/printername or
smb://server/printername syntax for the URI.
Many tools exist that help you configure a printer, use additional printing filters, add features to your printing capabilities, etc. This chapter lists a few of them. The list is not exhaustive and not meant to discuss each tool in great detail.
Gtk-LP - A Gtk-powered Printer Configuration Tool
With Gtk-LP you can install, modify and configure your printer from a stand-alone Gtk application. It uses CUPS and provides all standard CUPS capabilities as well. Definitely worth checking out if you dislike the CUPS Web interface or want a stand-alone application for your day-to-day printing routines.
To install it, emerge
gtklp :
Error: Unable to convert file 0 to printable format
If you are having printing troubles and /var/log/cups/error_log shows this message:
Unable to convert file 0 to printable format
You need to re-emerge
ghostscript-gpl with the
cups USE flag. You can either add
cups to your USE flags in /etc/portage/make.conf , or you can enable it only for
ghostscript-gpl as shown:
Then emerge
ghostscript-gpl. When it has finished compiling, be sure to restart
cupsd afterward:

Great food and service! – We tried this restaurant tonight for the first time and it was amazing! The food was great, and the service couldn't have been better. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere and great prices. I am not an expert on vietnamese cuisine, so I'm not sure of the authenticity level, but it is worth a trip to check for yourslf!

Best Dim Sum in the Midwest! – For anyone that misses China, this is the place for you. This is not the place to go if you want an American restaurant with "authentic" Chinese dim sum because this is an authentic Chinese restaurant. These are waiters that would be comfortable if you yelled "fuyuan!" when you need more tea, and the background music is like what you'd find on an overnight train to Beijing. The food is great Cantonese dim sum, there are always tables, and the service is very quick- once you've called them over. Whenever I miss Shanghai, this is where I go!
A Truly Restaurant Nightmare – Chinatown hasn't exactly have the best service, some places have good to average service. We decided to try this place out and we will never forget it. First the dining are is upstairs and there was a strong odor coming from the bathrooms, which we later found out that the doors were "WIDE" open. It is the begining of winter in Chicago and it was freezing outside. Inside was the coldest restaurant I have ever been in, the staff and customers were in their jackets.
The staff was something unbelievable in a bad way. All of them carried their cellphones and answer them infront of customers. They yell across the room to talk to each other. One staff was clipping her nails in the middle of the restaurant infront of everyone, by the food she was gonna take to a nearby customer, that is the absolute truth. A customer next to our table was complaining about the weird taste of her food and the staff just noded and left. I try to order dim sum, but was told it is closed, and then a person next to us arrived and ordered dimsum, I told her about it and she said "try coming in earlier next time."
The food is something else it is overpriced and such small portions. Nine dollars fried rice had about 3 cups of rice in it. Mangaloin beef with maybe 10 slices of mostly fat beef and loads of onions and grease.
My advice is to stay away from this place like it has a radiation sign infront. There are much better places around Chinatown.
Pass this one by!! – The staff was rude, the table not set for eating unless you could use chopsticks, asking for silverware, we were given 2 knives and 3 spoons for a party of 4. The food was bland, tasteless and overcooked as well as cold. Possibly asking for NO MSG means there are no other Asian spices or flavorings. The floor/rugs were scattered with empty fortune cookie wrappers and food on them. The Dim Sum is served for "breakfast, lunch and snacks"only, not for dinner. Where this restaurant got a four star rating is beyond my understanding. This is by far the worst food, not to mention Chinese food, I have ever tasted. The staff needs lessons in cooking, manners and presentation.
Gross food, bad service – I took my wife and son to 3 happiness for dim sum. The wait staff came to our table quickly, but were rude and unhelpful. They were also dishing out cold greasy food. It was also overpriced. There are way better choices in Chinatown.
Great view overlooking the Chicago Parking Lot & Red Line, and Chicago Chinatown Gate – The Big Three Happiness and the Small Three Happiness (the one that started it all), there use to be three of these restaurants in the 80?s, the one on 22nd Place was sold decades ago, now part of Chinatown Hotel. The remaining two Three Happiness, are own by two different owners, and they are no longer own by the Moy?s brothers (happily retired). The Bigger Three Happiness was bought by the same owner who own Furama Restaurant. Personally, I went there because I knew the owners and the restaurant managers, but I do not go there for dim sum anymore, great place for tourist and a nice view overlooking the Chicago Parking Lot & Red Line, and part of Chinatown. Cooking style is very similar to Furama, otherwise the Big Three Happiness still retain it own menu.
Good Dim Sum across from the gateway to Chinatown – You can order from a menu or pick from the items passing by in the dim sum carts. Most of the women who push the dim sum carts didn't speak english, so we kind of guessed at some of the items. But this was part of the fun and lended quite an aire of authenticity. The place was 25% filled with Chinese families, curious tourists (like us) and locals who were into dim sum. We were there near the end of the dim sum period (up until 3pm in the afternoon) so the restaurant wasn't very crowded and fresh dim sum wasn't streaming from the kitchen. I'd go back again when the joint was jumpin' and fresh dim sum was steadily coming out of the kitchen. Sticky rice was good.
Busy two-story Chinatown institution that's famous for its dim sum. – In Short
Chatty groups of tourists and Chinese families create a bustling atmosphere in the bright upstairs and downstairs dining rooms. Dim sum is the draw, offered daily from 10am to 3pm. Just point to appealing dishes as servers push carts by your table. Steamed items like ha gow, an addictive ball of shrimp wrapped in rice flour dumpling, are a perfect start. Fried rice is studded with bits of Chinese sausage and steamed in aromatic banana leaves. Entrees are also available, including a seafood combo and tender steak.
Locals don't go there! – Not the best, most groups in the area have stopped holding their parties at Three Happiness. In fact one school a few blocks away stopped holding their huge Chinese New Year Celebration and other parties there back in 1993. It was terrible back then. Most local residents eat else where, only tourists and out-of-towners eat there because it is near parking and intersection.
YUCK!! – This place is way over rated. The food is mediocare, and the service is nothing outstanding. More importantly it is pricey! If you are in china town go over two doors to Moon Palace which is so much better!
very happy at 3 happiness – the Dim Sum at this restaurant is the best I have tasted since leaving NYC and the wonderful restaurants there on Mott Street. The service is very good, but the food is divine. If you like Dim Sum and don't mind sharing a table with strangers then this is the place to go in Chicago.

Changing one out varies by the brand. Some are quite easy, some more involved. Finding one that's an exact replacement may mean you don't have to change anything except the motor assembly. But, this requires both electrical, mechanical, and plumbing skills as the new one generally won't have a power cord on it, and you'll need to do that as well.
If it's one made by ISE, you don't have to change out the sink drain and the whole thing comes off fairly easily after loosening the screws, loosening the cam lock, and removing the circular split ring.
Drain cleaning chemicals often don't work and can be a major problem if you then need to take the pipes apart as they are caustic. Chemical burns or destroying tools can be an issue and a plumber may end up charging more because you did this.
