The HTTP protocol is specified elsewhere. This specification only describes the syntax of HTTP URLs. An HTTP URL takes the form: http://<host>:<port>/<path>?<searchpart> where <host> and <port> are as described in Section 3.1. If :<port> is omitted, the port defaults to 80. No user name or password is allowed. <path> is an HTTP selector, and <searchpart> is a query string. The <path> is optional, as is the <searchpart> and its preceding "?". If neither <path> nor <searchpart> is present, the "/" may also be omitted. Within the <path> and <searchpart> components, "/", ";", "?" are reserved. The "/" character may be used within HTTP to designate a hierarchical structure. From FRC1808 - 2.1 URL Syntactic Components The URL syntax is dependent upon the scheme. Some schemes use reserved characters like "?" and ";" to indicate special components, while others just consider them to be part of the path. However, there is enough uniformity in the use of URLs to allow a parser to resolve relative URLs based upon a single, generic-RL syntax. This generic-RL syntax consists of six components: <scheme>://<net_loc>/<path>;<params>?<query>#<fragment> URL = ( absoluteURL | relativeURL ) [ "#" fragment ] absoluteURL = generic-RL | ( scheme ":" *( uchar | reserved ) ) generic-RL = scheme ":" relativeURL relativeURL = net_path | abs_path | rel_path net_path = "//" net_loc [ abs_path ] abs_path = "/" rel_path rel_path = [ path ] [ ";" params ] [ "?" query ] path = fsegment *( "/" segment ) fsegment = 1*pchar segment = *pchar params = param *( ";" param ) param = *( pchar | "/" ) pchar = uchar | ":" | "@" | "&" | "=" uchar = unreserved | escape unreserved = alpha | digit | safe | extra From RFC2396 - 3.3 path_segments = segment *( "/" segment ) segment = *pchar *( ";" param ) param = *pchar pchar = unreserved | escaped | ":" | "@" | "&" | "=" | "+" | "$" | "," The path may consist of a sequence of path segments separated by a single slash "/" character. Within a path segment, the characters "/", ";", "=", and "?" are reserved. Each path segment may include a sequence of parameters, indicated by the semicolon ";" character. The parameters are not significant to the parsing of relative references. From RFC3986 - 3.3 The path component contains data, usually organized in hierarchical form, that, along with data in the non-hierarchical query component (Section 3.4), serves to identify a resource within the scope of the URI's scheme and naming authority (if any). The path is terminated by the first question mark ("?") or number sign ("#") character, or by the end of the URI. If a URI contains an authority component, then the path component must either be empty or begin with a slash ("/") character. If a URI does not contain an authority component, then the path cannot begin with two slash characters ("//"). In addition, a URI reference (Section 4.1) may be a relative-path reference, in which case the first path segment cannot contain a colon (":") character. The ABNF requires five separate rules to disambiguate these cases, only one of which will match the path substring within a given URI reference. We use the generic term "path component" to describe the URI substring matched by the parser to one of these rules. path = path-abempty ; begins with "/" or is empty / path-absolute ; begins with "/" but not "//" / path-noscheme ; begins with a non-colon segment / path-rootless ; begins with a segment / path-empty ; zero characters path-abempty = *( "/" segment ) path-absolute = "/" [ segment-nz *( "/" segment ) ] path-noscheme = segment-nz-nc *( "/" segment ) path-rootless = segment-nz *( "/" segment ) path-empty = 0<pchar> segment = *pchar segment-nz = 1*pchar segment-nz-nc = 1*( unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims / "@" ) ; non-zero-length segment without any colon ":" pchar = unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims / ":" / "@" A path consists of a sequence of path segments separated by a slash ("/") character. A path is always defined for a URI, though the defined path may be empty (zero length). Use of the slash character to indicate hierarchy is only required when a URI will be used as the context for relative references. For example, the URI <mailto:email@example.com> has a path of "email@example.com", whereas the URI <foo://info.example.com?fred> has an empty path. The path segments "." and "..", also known as dot-segments, are defined for relative reference within the path name hierarchy. They are intended for use at the beginning of a relative-path reference (Section 4.2) to indicate relative position within the hierarchical tree of names. This is similar to their role within some operating systems' file directory structures to indicate the current directory and parent directory, respectively. However, unlike in a file system, these dot-segments are only interpreted within the URI path hierarchy and are removed as part of the resolution process (Section 5.2). Aside from dot-segments in hierarchical paths, a path segment is considered opaque by the generic syntax. URI producing applications often use the reserved characters allowed in a segment to delimit scheme-specific or dereference-handler-specific subcomponents. For example, the semicolon (";") and equals ("=") reserved characters are often used to delimit parameters and parameter values applicable to that segment. The comma (",") reserved character is often used for similar purposes. For example, one URI producer might use a segment such as "name;v=1.1" to indicate a reference to version 1.1 of "name", whereas another might use a segment such as "name,1.1" to indicate the same. Parameter types may be defined by scheme-specific semantics, but in most cases the syntax of a parameter is specific to the implementation of the URI's dereferencing algorithm. -} {- Reserved characters: If a character is unreserved, then you can included it as the literal character, or percent encode it, and it does not change its meaning. The two urls will be equal to each other. Some characters are explicitly reserved in different url schemes. For example the '/' character in a path component has special meaning, and therefore any occurance of '/' must be escaped unless it is being used for it's reserved purposed. The spec also provides a list of characters than can be reserved in specific url spec. For example, a url producer can choose to use , as a reserved character. However, it is not obligated to use , as a reserved character. From RFC3986 - 2.2 Characters in the "reserved" set are not reserved in all contexts. The set of characters actually reserved within any given URI component is defined by that component. In general, a character is reserved if the semantics of the URI changes if the character is replaced with its escaped US-ASCII encoding. Some choices we made: The presence of ; and params in a path segment is handled differently in the different RFCs. It does some clear, though that ; is supposed to indicate the start of parameters. Hence we should escape ; so that if it appears in a url it does not treated as parameters when it was not meant to be. At present we offer no way for a user who actually wants to add parameters. That would probably be done path extending the encodePathInfo to be more like: encodePathInfo :: [(String, [Param])] -> String The spec also forbids a path from starting with // if the scheme has no authority. This library is currently only intended to be used with the http scheme, so we do not have to worry about that rule, since the http scheme does have an authority. -} {-| Encodes a list of path segments into a valid URL fragment. This function takes the following three steps: * UTF-8 encodes the characters. * Performs percent encoding on all unreserved characters, as well as \:\@\=\+\$, * Intercalates with a slash. For example: > encodePathInfo [\"foo\", \"bar\", \"baz\"] \"foo\/bar\/baz\" > encodePathInfo [\"foo bar\", \"baz\/bin\"] \"foo\%20bar\/baz\%2Fbin\" > encodePathInfo [\"שלום\"] \"%D7%A9%D7%9C%D7%95%D7%9D\" -} encodePathInfo :: [Text] -> [(Text, Maybe Text)] -> Text encodePathInfo segments qs = Text.decodeUtf8 $ toByteString $ encodePathInfoUtf8 segments qs encodePathInfoUtf8 :: [Text] -> [(Text, Maybe Text)] -> Builder encodePathInfoUtf8 segments qs = encodePath segments (queryTextToQuery qs) {-| Performs the inverse operation of 'encodePathInfo'. In particular, this function: * Splits a string at each occurence of a forward slash. * Percent-decodes the individual pieces. * UTF-8 decodes the resulting data. This utilizes 'decodeString' from the utf8-string library, and thus all UTF-8 decoding errors are handled as per that library. In general, you will want to strip the leading slash from a pathinfo before passing it to this function. For example: > decodePathInfo \"\" \[\] > decodePathInfo \"\/\" [\"\"] Note that while function accepts a 'Text' value, it is expected that 'Text' will only contain the subset of characters which are allowed to appear in a URL. -} decodePathInfo :: ByteString -> [Text] decodePathInfo = decodePathSegments

A Burnley driver is still on the road despite clocking up 38 penalty points for speeding.
The motorist, who was caught exceeding the 30mph limit 10 times, has not been disqualified despite having more than three times the number of points needed for a ban to be imposed.
The shock figure is the fifth highest in the country after drivers in Oxford, Basildon in Essex, Liverpool and Wigan were found to have 51, 42, 42 and 39 points respectively.
The data was revealed following a Freedom of Information request to the DVLA by the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM). The inquiry also found that 13 people in Britain currently have 28 or more points on their driving licence.

I recently finished reading Rajiv Chandrasekaran's Little America: The War within the War for Afghanistan. The entire book is terrific. I highly recommend it. But one chapter in particular—Chapter 7, "Deadwood"—spoke to some of the things that my colleagues and I have written over the years concerning America's nation-building problems.
Most Americans have by now moved on from the war in Afghanistan (even though the U.S. military has not) and are focused on, in President Obama's words, "nation building here at home." But we still haven't closed the book on the theories of nation building that arose after 9/11, including the belief that the United States needs to repair failed states, or rescue failing ones, lest terrorists from these states travel thousands of miles to attack Americans. Last month, for example, Mitt Romney's senior foreign policy adviser Richard Williamson praised Bill Clinton's nation-building adventures in Bosnia and Kosovo. Williamson told NPR's Audie Cornish that the U.S. government must "help in reconciliation, reconstruction, helping institutions of law and order, security be built" after authoritarian regimes collapse. From the belief that we must repair failed states flows logically the belief that we can.
These beliefs are, in fact, myths. Cato has published many different papers, articles, and book chapters challenging the claim that fighting terrorism, or preserving U.S. security generally, requires us to engage in nation building abroad. We have been equally emphatic on the point that our efforts are likely to fail, no matter how well intentioned. Little America provides additional evidence to support that argument, although I doubt that was Chandrasekaran's object.
Take, for example, the case of Summer Coish, the striking and extraordinarily motivated woman who wanted to go to Afghanistan so badly that she appealed directly to Richard Holbrooke. She got her wish—eventually. Despite the fact that the president's designated point person on Afghanistan and Pakistan had marked her for the fast track, it took 14 months before she was cleared to travel to there.
Once she arrived, Coish's dream of helping the Afghans emerge from decades of war and desperate poverty crashed against the reality of a soul-crushing bureaucracy. Security regulations made it nearly impossible for Coish and other civilians to regularly interact with Afghans, and few embassy staffers exhibited any desire to do so. "It's rare that you ever hear someone say they're here because they want to help the Afghans," Coish told Chandrasekaran after she had been there a few months. Instead, Chandrasekaran observes, "everyone seemed bent on departure."
The work itself was painfully dull. Coish concluded that most of it could have been accomplished in Washington, at far less cost to the taxpayers. The reason for the costly in-country presence? The need to count them as part of the vaunted "civilian surge."
Coish and a handful of other dedicated civilians that Chandrasekaran writes about—including Kael Weston, an experienced political adviser to Marine General Larry Nicholson, and Carter Malkasian, the State Department's representative in Helmand's Garmser district—could not make up for the lack of ability (or desire) on the part of many other civilians (i.e. the deadwood). "It seems our best and brightest have burned out long ago and we're getting the straphangers these days," Marc Chretien, a senior State Department official in Helmand province, wrote to the embassy. "Or, as one wag put it, 'they're just along for the chow.' No need to go into details here—let's just say that there's enough deadwood here that it's becoming a fire hazard."
At times, Chandrasekaran's assessment of the civilian surge exhibits an oddly optimistic tone. I say "odd" because this is the same person who brilliantly documented the dysfunction of the Bush administration's nation-building fiasco in Iraq (in Imperial Life in the Emerald City), but who can't bring himself to say that Obama's mission in Afghanistan couldn't possibly succeed. Despite everything that he has seen, Chandrasekaran often reflects a belief that it all could have worked out (or that it still might) were it not for the "lack of initiative and creativity in Washington."
Instead of scouring the United States for top talent to fill the crucial, well-paying jobs that were a key element of Obama's national security agenda, those responsible for hiring first turned to State Department and USAID officers in other parts of the world. But the best of them had already served in Iraq or Afghanistan. Many of those who signed up were too new to have done a tour in a war zone or too lackluster to have better career options.
Pray-tell, where would the government have found such people? Or, more precisely, how would the government convince those already gainfully employed to set aside their careers, homes, and families to embark upon an Afghan adventure? What additional incentives—or threats—might have sufficed to mobilize the vast army of talented agronomists, lawyers, biologists, teachers, doctors, civil engineers, etc. who were not already motivated (as Coish, Weston and Malkasian were)?
Several years ago, I co-authored with Ben Friedman and Harvey Sapolsky a paper on the lessons of Iraq. Our research was informed by Chandrasekaran's narrative from the Iraqi Green Zone, and a number of other books on the Bush administration's signature foreign policy initiative. Here is what we said (the prose in this case is almost certainly Friedman's; I'm not this clever) about the American people's disinclination to embark on nation-building missions abroad.
A concerted effort to improve our collective nation-building skills would require "a foreign policy at odds with our national character."
Reading through the proposals for rapidly deployable bureaucrats to help run failing states, one usually searches in vain for the pages where the author justifies the creation of an empire and a colonial service to run it. Whatever else changed after September 11, [Americans]…are ill-suited for stabilizing disorderly states and achieving success in protracted foreign wars.
The State Department's budget, including the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), we explained, "is tiny because its aim is to relate to foreign nations, not to run them."
National security organizations are formed by decades of budgets and decisions. Their organizational politics…reflect…lasting national interests, namely a disinclination to subjugate foreign peoples and lose unnecessary wars….Americans have historically looked askance at the small wars European powers fought to maintain their imperial holdings, viewing those actions as illiberal and unjust. Misadventures like Vietnam are the exceptions that make the rule. It is no accident that U.S. national security organizations are not designed for occupation duties. When it comes to nation building, brokering civil and ethnic conflict, and waging counterinsurgency, we are our own worst enemy, and that is a sign of our lingering common sense.
To repeat, Little America is a first-class read, and I hope that the book receives the attention it deserves. The anecdotes about Coish, Weston, and Malkasian, as well as countless stories about brave soldiers and Marines trying their best every day to make Afghanistan a better place, are heartwarming. We honor their service, and we should find other avenues for these people to perform their work, chiefly through NGOs, unencumbered by the massive federal bureaucracy.
But good intentions cannot distract us from the bleak reality: building a functioning nation-state in Afghanistan would require hundreds of thousands of equally dedicated civilians, to go along with a massive troop presence to protect them, tens of billions of dollars every year, and a commitment to remain in country for decades.
We aren't going to do that. We should stop pretending that we will.

A week ago, the ground moved. Not literally, of course. But the Nov. 2 election was obviously a huge one for the Republican Party.
Nationwide, the GOP made impressive gains, most notably in the U.S. Congress, where Republicans gained control of the House and reduced the Democratic majority in the Senate.
Republicans also made impressive gains in state legislature races across the country – something that will give the party an edge when redistricting is done based on the 2010 Census numbers.

de Kock's first hundred in franchise cricket, currently 166* (career best).
A good Champions League and he should be playing international cricket before the season ends.
Started last week.
de Kock's first hundred in franchise cricket, currently 166* (career best).
A good Champions League and he should be playing international cricket before the season ends.
170* out of 271 at lunch. Immense.
If he keeps up his good form I'd like to see him get a shot before the season's out - I've been one who has been promoting him being held back but he's just so good.

Am I the only one that missed the part where Lopsy left the Warriors? Gutted.
Warriors not looking overly stocked in the bowling department for the first time in ages. Still decent depth though.
Good to see Gqamane in the squad, Bowling attack of Theron, Parnell, Birch and Harmer looks good to me and Lyall Meyer is good enough for when Parnell's away. Ntini really needs to GAGF, top bloke but way past it.
We're going to need a big season from the Smuts brothers and the two Jacobs - Kreusch must be close on retirement. Thyssen will also need to do something.
Good to see de Kock standing up.
Parmi | #1 draft pick | Jake King is **** | Big Bash League tipping champion of the universeCome and Paint Turtle
Theron out until December so Birch,Rabie & Walters will probably start this week and need to step up. Haven't seen Gqamane but interested to see him but don't think it will be long until Solo Nqweni is in the Warriors squad when he picks up loads of wickets for EP.
Davy Jacobs back is also big. Had injury problems and a slump in form but in good form pre-season. Interesting to see who keeps (D.Jacobs or Dyili) and who opens the batting for the Warriors.

CHICAGO, March 28 (UPI) -- British Petroleum is more than doubling the amount of oil it estimates was spilled into Lake Michigan from its Whiting refinery in Northwest Indiana.
BP initially said that 18 barrels of oil were leaking into the lake, but has revised this estimate to 39 barrels or 1,638 gallons of oil. BP revised its estimate after taking into account the amount of oil collected from vacuum trucks and absorbent booms, as well as balls of oil that have washed up ashore. Strong winds have pushed most of the oil towards a shallow cove between the refinery and a steel mill.
According to BP spokesman Scott Dean, federal authorities requested an estimate which was based on a visual observation of the water's surface.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said that the spill poses no long-term risk to the lake, which is a source of drinking water for 7 million people in Chicago and its suburbs. The EPA has not commented on BP's estimates, stating that it is conducting its own investigation into violations of the federal Clean Water Act.
U.S. Sens. Dick Durbin and Mark Kirk of Illinois and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel have asked for more aggressive action against BP and the two senators have also requested a meeting with BP's American CEO John Minge.
"This spill raises questions about the long-term safety and reliability of BP's new, expanded production at Whiting," Durbin and Kirk wrote in a letter asking for a meeting with Minge. "It is in all of our best interests … to ensure that this greater processing capacity will do no harm to Lake Michigan."
The leak was reported around 4:30 p.m. Monday by refinery workers and according to he EPA the leak was plugged by 9 p.m. The refinery performs the initial steps in refining heavy Canadian oil from the tar sands region of Alberta. It is now back to being fully operational, said BP.

Although early motherboard reviews have been popping up on the web since May 21, Sean Maloney's Computex keynote today marks the official launch of Intel's new entries in the Series 3 Chipset family (codenamed "Bearlake"): the P35 and the G33. Today, we'll take a short look at both the P35 and G33 chipsets. Of the two, the P35 is set to replace the P965 (and, to a certain extent, the 975X) in the high end of the market, while the G33 replaces the 945G in the value segment. Later in the year, we'll see the X38 and G35 products, which will be the top-end replacements for the 975X and G965 products in the very high-end and mainstream consumer segments, respectively.
The three most immediate advantages the Series 3 Chipset family brings to the table are its support for Intel's upcoming 1333MHz FSB, DDR3 support, and Turbo Memory. In the longer term, Series 3 also provides an upgrade path to Penryn—Intel's upcoming 45nm processor.
The block diagram of the P35 shown below gives a good summary of its features. The diagram only illustrates a single x16 PCIe 1.0 channel, so like its predecessor the P35 supports Crossfire in an x16 MCH + x4 ICH setup. Those who want better dual-GPU support should wait for the higher-end X38 to come out in the third quarter of this year.
The Intel P35 Chipset
As was mentioned above, the P35 supports both DDR2 and DDR3 at speeds of up to 1066 or 1333MHz, respectively, and can host everything from existing Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad processors to the next-generation Penryn processors. The total number of USB 2.0 ports is up to 12 (up from 10 on the P965), and the P35 also supports Vista's ReadyBoost technology via the use of what Intel calls Turbo Memory. Intel Turbo Memory can either use a PCIe x1 slot or can take the form of a NAND flash chip soldered directly on to the motherboard. Although not specifically defined in the block diagram, the implication of Intel's chipset presentation is that Intel's Fast Memory Access (formerly defined as a separate feature for the P965 chipset) has been folded into the P35.
The P35 also uses Intel's new ICH9 hub, which provides support for the afore-mentioned Turbo Memory. The number of total SATA devices supported compared to the ICH8 is still six, but ICH9 also provides native support for eSATA devices.
Although the P35 doesn't technically replace the 975X chipset, it'd be surprising if the older 975X maintains much traction against Intel's latest release. Not only does the P35 offer support for faster memory and newer processors, the ICH9 southbridge has several significant advantages over the 975X's ICH7. Expect to see a wide range of P35 boards bracketing both the high-end and mid-range motherboard market until the unveiling of Intel's X38 chipset later this year.
The other major chipset unveiled today is the more mainstream-oriented G33 with an integrated graphics processor (IGP), shown below:
The Intel G33 Chipset
The P35 and G33 share virtually all the same features, but the G33 supports a larger array of display-out technologies and includes support for Intel's X3100 video display. The major difference between the two is the age of the motherboard standard they're replacing: Intel's P965 is quite a bit newer than the two-year-old 945G standard. Based on Intel's chipset positioning guidelines, the G33 is something of a stopgap measure, aimed at holding down the fort until the introduction of the G35 later this year. The G35's IGP will feature full DirectX 10 support, so those who're planning on Vista upgrades should wait for it.

Being an intern.. is.. well.. quite amazing.
To observe impeccable clinical performance of your fellow professors..
To be able to work on patients without the cloud of "mark deduction" hovering over your shoulder constantly..
I can't imagine a smoother way to live a profession.
Confident. Satisfied. Elite.
Yet there is an aspect of internship I didn't foresee in my future;
That during your periodic rotations and while meeting and conversing with so many talented dentists in various fields;
Be prepared to unravel their endless stories;
Stories of success.
Stories of hope.
Stories of sacrifice.
I've discovered, -sitting shotgun along the ride- that planning out a future isn't that simple.
I've found that to draw a blue-print for your life - as I listen to their stories wide-eyed- isn't that straight-forward.. as I presumed.
To choose what you want to do.. from 8-4.. everyday.. for the rest of your life...is quite a heavy load to carry.
To be so dedicated to one facet in life.. astounds me.
Yet to be torn between so many tempting desserts and finally choose only one chocolate pastry... astounds me even more.
And taking a step back.. when you're from the outside looking in; the tremendous multi-factorial process of "Career Choosing"..
is as intimidating as holding bait to a lion.
as frightening as negotiating with your grandfather over century old traditions.
as absurd as talking sense to a toddler not to draw on the carpet.
Knowing you alone are your hardest critic.. that sooner or later you'll to have to face your questionable priority list, irrational fears and mute desires.
Oh dear.
Oh me. Oh my.
Wednesday, 21 November 2012
Day 1; Hello Dr, I'm the new intern for this month.
Granted.. What do I know?
I'm nothing but an intern.

Serves 4
Tomato cream can be used as a base for soups, dressing, sauces, or as a
spread. The taste is something entirely different than canned
tomatoes: Much purer and intense and less acidic. But be forewarned. Once
one becomes accustomed to using fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes loose all appeal.
The tomato cream will keep for 3-4 days in a covered container in the refrigerator.

Jeffrey Short, 45, who told police he was homeless, appeared remorseful during a 30-minute sentencing Monday before Des Moines County District Judge Michael Schilling, who indicated he had no choice but to sentence him to prison.
BURLINGTON, Iowa — A Burlington man turned a shoplifting case into a 10-year prison sentence when he pulled a knife on Hy-Vee store employees as they attempted to stop him from stealing $25 worth of steaks from the store in Feburary.
Jeffrey Short, 45, who told police he was homeless, appeared remorseful during a 30-minute sentencing Monday before Des Moines County District Judge Michael Schilling, who indicated he had no choice but to sentence him to prison.
"I see the severity of the incident," Short told Schilling, moments before he was sentenced to prison. "I regret what I did, but I can't change that it happened."
Investigators said if Short hadn't confronted employees with the knife during the incident, it was likely he would have been arrested on a shoplifting charge or a misdemeanor theft charge that would not have required jail time.
In ordering him to prison, Schilling followed a plea agreement between Des Moines County Attorney Amy Beavers and James Carter, Short's public defender, which called for Short to serve five years of his 10-year sentence before becoming eligible for parole or work release.
In exchange for his guilty plea to second-degree robbery and the impending 10-year-prison sentence, Beavers dismissed the original charge of first-degree robbery, which would have required Short to serve 75 percent of a 25-year sentence before becoming eligible for parole.
Under the plea agreement, Short also will have to make restitution to Hy-Vee in the amount of $25 for the steaks.
During Short's sentencing, Carter asked the court for leniency, saying that what happened that day "was almost comical" if it didn't carry the prison time associated with it.
"As you are aware, it's not comical," Carter told Schilling. "But, based on what happened, if the store employees wouldn't have pursued him for the distance they did, it probably would have been a shoplifting case."
During his sentencing, Short told the court he had been using drugs since he was 12 years old and had spent almost one-half of his adult life in state and federal prisons. He told the judge he used synthetic marijuana, heroin and other drugs on a regular basis while he was incarcerated in those prisons.
Short indicated in court he was intoxicated at the time he stole the steaks, which occurred about 2:15 p.m. Feb. 7.
Short told Schilling it wasn't an excuse but just the truth.
According to court records, Short was arrested after officers were dispatched to the Hy-Vee grocery store at 3140 Agency St. regarding a theft that had occurred.
When officers arrived, they learned a man had entered the store and left without paying for some merchandise. When store employees approached the individual, later identified as Short, he displayed a knife and threatened them. He then fled on foot, traveling east on Burlington Avenue.
Responding officers located Short hiding near bushes in the 500 block of Conrad Street. He was taken into custody without further incident.
Authorities said no one was injured in the incident.
Short has been in Des Moines County Jail since his arrest, unable to post a $10,000 cash bond.

After receiving options for county employee health rates Monday from BlueCross BlueShield, commissioners discussed different methods for the county to help pay for benefits.
The commission first voted to step up the county's portion of its $606 family plan to pay $50 per month per employee, with the option to increase that amount to $100 in 2016. Commissioners also approved paying a $470 monthly option covering single employees.
Commissioners also discussed an updated dress code policy and buying shirts for county employees.
Because of its payday meeting Friday, the commission decided not to have a March 3 meeting.
In other business:
- Commissioners approved a five-year purchase of a 2014 International dump truck from Williams Service for the road and bridge department. The vehicle, costing $130,177, includes a snowplow and bed hydraulics. Road and Bridge Superintendent Randy Crawford also informed commissioners he was looking for an operator to fill a position between Marion and Pilsen.
- Commissioners approved a $1,323 firewall bid for courthouse security from CDWG.
- Department on Aging Director Gayla Ratzlaff informed commissioners that commodities will be available at 7 a.m. on Wednesdays in March at Marion Senior Center.
- Commissioners rejected a $6,250 proposal from Dana Dunn of P1 Group for a master planning survey of courthouse energy.

We did this project last year and my kids really liked it, so I decided to try it again since they are getting older and their drawings are becoming more complex. I originally got the idea out of Family Fun magazine and brought the supplies with us on a vacation for the kids to have something to do quietly while the baby napped. All you need is a package of craft sticks, markers and tape.
|Start by lining the sticks up as large as you would like your puzzle
to be and stick a piece of tape across the entire length.
|Flip it over and start drawing. Mina thought she should draw lines across the sticks.
She even did the same thing with her second puzzle.
|Maisy drew a lovely Clifford the Big Red Dog.
|Lou drew a beautiful nature scene.
|After you're done with your drawing, just take the tape
off the back side and start playing. I didn't know this
would be such a great counting activity for little Mina (she's 2).
She thought her striped sticks were just great.

In January 2014, 102 measles cases linked to an outbreak at Disneyland were reported in 14 states. The outbreak alarmed the CDC, which declared the disease eliminated in the U.S. in the year 2000. Many health officials have tied the outbreak to the rising number of unvaccinated children under the age of 12. Proponents of a mandate argue that vaccines are necessary in order to insure herd immunity against preventable diseases. Herd immunity protects people who are unable to get vaccines due to their age or health condition. Opponents of a mandate believe the government should not be able to decide which vaccines their children should receive. Some opponents also believe there is a link between vaccinations and autism and vaccinating their children will have destructive consequences on their early childhood development.

2 6-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1/2 small onion, sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 ripe Hass avocado, pitted, peeled, and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1/2 jalapeño, seeded and minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup seeded and diced (1/4-inch) red bell pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1 scallion, white and green parts, finely chopped
3 cups lukewarm water, or as needed
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
3 cups Venezuelan cornmeal, or as needed *
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon canola or vegetable oil, plus more for the griddle
1. To make the filling, place the chicken breasts and onion in a medium saucepan and add enough cold water to cover by 1 inch. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove the chicken from the saucepan and let cool completely. Tear the chicken into shreds.
2. Mash the avocado, mayonnaise, and vinegar together in a medium bowl with an immersion blender or large fork until smooth. Stir in the cilantro, parsley, jalapeno, and garlic. Add the chicken, red pepper, red onion, and scallion and mix together. Season with salt and pepper. Taste and add more vinegar to give the filling a pleasant, but not sour, tang. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
3. To make the arepas, stir 3 cups lukewarm water and the salt together in a large bowl to dissolve the salt. Gradually add 3 cups cornmeal, mixing with your fingers to dissolve any lumps, adding enough to make a soft dough that holds its shape without cracking when molded. Set dough aside to rest for 3 minutes. Add the oil and work it in with your hands, adding cornmeal or water to return the dough to the proper consistency.
4. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Shape each into a 4-inch diameter disk, about 1 inch thick. Transfer to a baking sheet.
5. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly oil a large nonstick skillet or griddle and heat over medium heat.
6. In batches, place the arepas in the skillet. Cook until the underside is a splotchy golden brown, about 4 minutes. Turn and brown the other side. Return arepas to the baking sheet.
7. When all of the arepas are browned, transfer them directly to the oven rack (without the baking sheet). Bake until the surfaces of the arepas have formed a taut skin—if you rap your fingers on one, it will feel and sound like a drum. Return arepas to the baking sheet and let cool slightly. Split each arepa in half and fill with the chicken mixture. Serve warm.
** For arepas, you must use precooked cornmeal (labeled harina or harina precocida), imported from Venezuela. American cornmeal or corn flour and Mexican masa harina will not work. The most popular brand of precooked cornmeal is P.A.N., found at Latino markets or online at www.amigofoods.com. Use white (blanco) cornmeal only.

Eighteenth-Century Letter Writing
Without phones, computers, or the various electronic devices we have today, letter writing was the primary form of communication with people in the next town, another colony, or across the ocean. While letter writing is becoming a lost art with the evolution of texts and social network posts, the language and style of colonial writing is often rich in its use of language and detail. In this lesson, students will read and respond to real letters from eighteenth-century correspondents using eighteenth-century words and phrases.
Students will:
- Explore the differences between written communication now and in the eighteenth-century.
- Read for context and infer appropriate responses.
- Practice writing a letter using eighteenth-century words and phrases.
- Handout - How to Speak and Write Eighteenth-Century Style
- Letter 1: Edmund Dickenson Letter from Valley Forge
- Letter 2: Letter from Bernard Moore to John Norton July 25, 1770
- Writing paper
- Letter template from the American Instructor (for lesson extension)
- Wax and seal (for lesson extension)
Download Lesson Materials (PDF)
- Lead a discussion about writing in the twenty-first century. Ask students:
- how people communicate in writing (email, text, letters, notes, etc.)
- why people communicate (thank you notes, invitations, requests for services or payment, offers of goods/services, legal documents, birthday or holiday greetings, etc.)
- what is used for written communication
Write student responses on the board or overhead projector. Add any answers students may not have thought of (like letters to and from soldiers, acceptance letters for colleges, etc.).
- Ask for student volunteers to come up to the front of the room and cross out (but not erase, so the answers can still be read) any answers that would not apply to the eighteenth century (for instance, the first student might cross out email. The next student might cross off computers.)Â
- Distribute the handout How to Speak and Write Eighteenth-Century Style. Answer any questions and clarify unfamiliar vocabulary.
- Give half the students Letter 1 and half the students Letter 2. Explain to students that they will be responding to their letter as if they are the intended recipient (Lucy Dickenson responding to her brother Edmund, for example). Students should use eighteenth-century words and phrases in their letters.
[Note: Students could also work on their letters in pairs.]
- Ask for student volunteers to share their letters.
Lesson Extensions
- Compare the Lawrence Luckless form letter with that of Bernard Moore (see discussion questions).
- Students bring to class a recent e-mail, text, or social network post and translate it into the form of a colonial letter.
- If materials are available, have students fold their letters and address the back. Then carefully burn a candle and drip the wax onto the folded letter to seal it. Have students stamp the hot wax with an object that would leave an imprint. (Sealing wax and seals can be ordered online.)
This lesson was written by Dee Besl, Cincinnati, OH, Sharon Sobierajski, Buffalo, NY, and contributing editor Claire Gould.

Know there are some Joe doubters out there. But, the guy is 16-8 since coming here and goes to the post regularly. His disabled list file is empty for his career. He's a very solid #3.
Just think, the four-man rotation is now in place for multiple years: Roy Halladay, Cole Hamels, Joe and J. A. Happ. All can be penciled in for 200 innings. Halladay is the Sr. Citizen of the group but right in the prime of an outstanding career. It wasn't too long ago, we were desperate for four quality starters.
Who's the fifth starter? Well, that's a story that will be decided in spring training next month and during the season. Perhaps the same scenario a year from now.

I'm not really a Joe-doubter, I just thought $10.25 mill was out of line. He's a good middle-of-the-rotation guy to have (though I still wish there had been a way to keep Cliff Lee, but oh well, I'll have to get over it).
I also wanted to mention that in addition to the great Phillies Phollowers blog, four other Phillies fan blogs were in the top 100.
#43 – Phillies Red Pinstripes
#63 – Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts [OK, yeah, that's mine 🙂 ]
#89 – Outside the Phillies Looking In
#99 – How 'Bout Those Phils?
Hope you can squeeze in a plug for us too! In the meantime, I'm counting the days till ST starts.

No: 108-24
Date: September 16, 2004
On September 7, 2004, Senator McCain (R-AZ), along with two Republican and eight Democratic cosponsors, introduced S. 2774, the 9/11 Commission Report Implementation Act of 2004. The legislation is designed to implement the Commission's recommendations which were issued in August. Some of the major aspects of the bill include: reorganization of the intelligence community; the establishment of a National Counterterrorism Center; the creation of an information-sharing network; enhancement of border and transportation security; proposals to crack down on fraudulent identification documents; and the establishment of a Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board.
The legislation addresses each of the Commission's 41 recommendations. Included in the legislation are the following provisions of interest to SSA:
Information Sharing
- Would require the President to:
- Establish an information sharing network to promote the sharing of terrorism information;
- Issue guidelines governing the collection, sharing and use of information that promote information exchange while protecting privacy and civil liberties; and
- Submit to Congress an implementation plan that defines technological requirements, establishes time lines, delineates agency roles, and estimates budget requirements.
- Would establish an Advisory Council on Information Sharing, comprised of Federal, State, and local officials, as well as private sector representatives, to advise the President and Federal agency heads on implementation of the information sharing network.
- Would require the President, through the Director of Management and Budget, to:
- Establish electronic directory services to assist in locating in the Federal Government terrorism information; and
- Conduct a review of relevant current Federal agency capabilities, including a baseline inventory of current Federal systems that contain terrorism information.
Minimum Standards for Identification Documents
-- Birth Certificates
- Would establish minimum standards for birth certificates for use by Federal agencies.
- Beginning two years after promulgation of the regulations describing the minimum standards, would prohibit Federal agencies from accepting a birth certificate that does not meet these standards.
- Would authorize grants to States to:
- Help them conform to the minimum standards;
- Help them computerize their birth and death records;
- Develop the capability to match birth and death records within each State and among States; and
- Note the fact of death on the birth certificates of deceased persons.
-- Driver's Licenses and Personal Identification Cards
- Would establish minimum standards for driver's licenses or personal identification cards issued by States.
- Would prohibit any Federal agency from accepting a driver's license or personal identification card issued by a State more than two years after promulgation of the minimum standards unless the document conforms to those standards.
-- Social Security Cards
- Would require the Commissioner of Social Security to:
- Issue regulations to restrict the issuance of multiple replacement Social Security cards;
- Require independent verification of all records provided by an applicant for an original Social Security card, other than for purposes of enumeration at birth;
- Add death, fraud, and work authorization indicators to the Social Security number verification system; and
- Form, in cooperation with DHS, an interagency task force for the purpose of further improving the security of Social Security cards and numbers.

Boundary Creek Mountain Bike Trip
A Methven Tramping Club trip into Boundary Creek Hut in the Hakatere Conservation Area, with lunch and a side trip.
1 / 3
A small contingent from Mid Canterbury (make that about 20 of us) spent a night in the Castleridge Station Shearers Quarters one Saturday night in early May. Before that day ended we had a leisurely mountain bike ride in the Hakatere Conservation Area to Boundary Creek Hut.
We loaded up the 4WD vehicles and headed from the shearers quarters along the Hakatere Heron Road to a gravel area - not signposted - with a 4WD track that leads to a car park area and a locked gate. 2WD can get only so far as you need a vehicle with high clearance to navigate over some of the rutting and rocks, otherwise park just off the road and bike from there, it only adds about another 1.4 km to the trip.
From the lockaed gate we got our gear ready and jumped on the bikes. The sun was shining and it was a beautiful sunny wam May day, just ideal for a backcountry mountain bike ride.
The track to Boundary Creek Hut follows an old 4WD track for about 9km with minimal height gain on the way in. Not long into the ride there we pass another 4WD track with marker poles, this heads to the Garden of Eden (not the glacier one). We kept on the main track heading towards our lunch destination.
We had many stops along the way to take in the big mountain scenery we were riding through.
About 2km from Boundary Creek Hut as the highest point on the track, we pass another 4WD track poled route, this heads towards Mystery Lake in behind Lake Clearwater, something to do on another trip. From here it's all downhill to the hut, this is the steepest part of the track and it's only the thought of the return journey that has us a little concerned but that's not till after lunch so it's soon forgotten.
At the bottom of the hill we round the corner and arrive at Bourndary Creek Hut. An old corrugated iron hut in a big open sunny spot right beside Boundary Creek. It has about 6 bunks inside, concrete floor, open fire, table with chairs and even a couch - talk about a bit of backcountry luxury.
We park the bikes and lounge about in the sun enjoying a well earned lunch. Some time goes by before we decide to stretch the legs and wander down to the South Branch Ashburton River, this is big mountain country. We look in the direct of Top Hut and make plans for a future trip into the area.
Eventually we head back to the bikes, mount up and head back on the return journey. The hardest part was going back up the hill behind the hut. Most of us elected to walk the bikes which only took about 15 minutes to get to the top, from here the pedals barely turned as it was all downhill back to the car park. Speeds increased along with the squeels of delight as the wind rushed through the bike helmets.
Back at the car park we packed up the vehicles with the bikes and headed back to Castleridge Station for a pot luck dinner, roaring fire and a few good bottles of wine and talk of the next days bike trip, out to Lake Heron and around to Harrisons Bite.....

If Your Ad Claims 'Save More Every Time You Shop,' Does That Need To Be True?
from the questions-for-the-ages deptTwo supermarkets based in the northeast are involved in a legal dispute after one of them, Stop & Shop, put out an advertisement with the tagline "Save More Every Time You Shop." Competing market A&P (which few people remember actually stands for The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company) is complaining that it's false advertising to say that you'll save every time. While I generally tend to have a problem with false advertising claims, you do have to wonder if a throwaway line like the one here actually leads anyone to believe that "every time" they go to this one store, they'll save money. A&P does have a few more specific claims about the details of the ads, which show two shoppers who apparently saved a certain amount compared to the same items bought at a nearby A&P (including the fact that they have no records of bills in the amount in question at the local shops on the days the comparison was supposedly made). Those might have a bit more sway, but it seems like a silly tagline is unlikely to really lead to any actual harm in terms of people believing it to be true.

Since making our pork flower dumplings a couple weeks ago, those leftover wonton wrappers have just been calling out to us. "Please use me, for the love of god please use me!" could be heard every time we opened the refrigerator door. These exclamations probably rang so clear because there they were, right there on the top shelf on the side of the fridge door. Not hidden way in the back or in one of the drawers or lost under a pile of stuff. Right there on the side of the door. So, being that the refrigerator door is opened multiple times a day, we caved. This time, we went veggie. We minced up some sturdy vegetables like jicama, carrot, and celery, gave them a soak in a savory sauce, and then deep fried them to get a crunchy golden exterior. The really neat thing is that they are more flavorful than almost any meat dumpling I've had! Some cinnamon sprinkled on top adds a nice final touch and helps round out the sweet, savory inside with a bit of fragrant spice on the outside.
1 scallion, minced
¼ cup minced jicama
¼ cup minced carrot
¼ cup minced celery
2 teaspoons minced ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon oyster sauce
½ teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon rice wine
2 tablespoons chicken broth
16-20 wonton wrappers
canola oil, for frying
pinch of cinnamon
sweet and sour sauce, for serving
Place the scallions, jicama, carrot, celery, ginger, and garlic in a medium-sized bowl. In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, rice wine, and chicken broth. Pour the liquids over the vegetables. Let the mixture sit for at least 30 minutes. Take a wonton wrapper and place in the palm of your hand. Place ½ tablespoon of the mixture in the middle. Dab water around two adjacent sides of the wrapper, then bring up the other two sides of the wrapper to form a triangle. Place canola oil in small pot and heat to 325-350 degrees. Fry 4-5 wontons at a time until golden brown, about 5-8 minutes. Place on paper towels and then fry another batch. Sprinkle cinnamon on the wontons, and then serve with sweet and sour sauce.

Do you pronounce "draw" and "drawer" the same? I've only seen the latter used for the clothing article.

Wimbledon.org, the official web site of The Championships, got a little catty with its queue fashion video – and we love it! The vid itself, which looks to be sponsored by Evian features a fashion-savvy London lady critiquing (in secret) the fashion choices of the queuers. We LOVE this idea! Too bad she mostly stuck to the gals…
See the video by clicking here. Scroll two thirds down the page to find it. And, go to page 2 of the Wimby videos to find an equally-entertaining fan hat video. Lovely, just lovely!

New species of mysids (Crustacea: Mysidae) from the east coast of South Africa, with notes on habitat preferences
Allan D. Connell
South African Institute of Aquatic Biodiversity. Private Bag 1015, Grahamstown, 6140, South Africa. E-mail: email@example.com
Three new species of Mysidae are described, taken by hand-net, using SCUBA, from reef habitats in 20-40 m water depth on the KwaZulu-Natal shelf. Idiomysis robustus is the fifth described member of this curious genus, and shares the peculiar body shape of all the other known Idiomysis species. The species is found in small shoals, over low-profile, scattered reef. Kainommatomysis zuluensis is the third described species in this genus. Observations suggest this species does not swarm conspicuously, and it has only been collected by sweeping a hand net among gorgonians and seaweeds. Australerythrops africanus is only the second described species of this genus. It has not been seen over open reef, but is commonly found in small to medium-sized caves, or hovering around the entrance to a cave, in swarms containing hundreds, and sometimes thousands of individuals.
Key words: Idiomysis. Kainommatomysis. Australerythrops. shelf waters, Western Indian Ocean, Mysidae.

The sweet taste of Easter in Spain #EasterinSpain
Typical sweets and pastries
Once the joy of Carnival has passed, Spain sinks enthusiastically into the spirituality and fervour of Easter. This traditional festivity, in commemoration of the death of Jesus Christ, fills tables with the most exquisite delicacies. Now is your chance to enjoy a unique, gastronomic Easter with one especially delicious protagonist: the sweets.
Food is a vital part of Spanish culture. Typical foods and dishes are just one more way for people to join in celebrations, festivities and get-togethers. The rich flavours of traditional sweets and desserts are a vital part of Easter. These are deep-rooted, traditional, simple family recipes, enjoyed by people all over Spain at this time of year.
You should definitely try torrijas at Easter. They are eaten all over Spain and consist of slices of bread soaked in milk, sugar and egg, fried in olive oil. According to what they are dipped in, and the way they are presented, there are other, delicious varieties: with wine, syrup, honey or sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon. Monas de Pascua are another classic sweet, especially in Catalonia and on the Valencia coast. They are chocolate shapes which usually have a surprise inside. Children love them and in Catalonia it is traditional to give them to the little ones on Easter Monday.
Flores de Semana Santa are just as attractive on account of their unusual shape. They are large and delicate with a sweet, crunchy texture. If you happen to be in the Castile-Leon area, you will discover a delicious tradition on Easter Sunday: the hornazo. It is a big pie filled with things like egg, pork loin and ham. There is also a sweet version made with almonds, sugar, aniseed and egg.
Bartolillos from Madrid, rosquillas de Semana Santa (Easter doughnuts), leche frita (fried dessert with milk and eggs), pestiños (pastries with sesame and honey) and buñuelos (fried pastries) are other typical delicacies to be sampled at this time of year. At Easter time Spanish homes, cake shops and restaurants bring out their old recipes to prepare delicious sweets that are as good to look at as they are to eat. Make the most of these days to enjoy unique festivities in Spain, without forgetting, of course, to sample the exquisite delights to be found at table.

Backwards-incompatible changes
As Django is still in pre-release mode, we haven't yet committed to maintaining backwards compatibility in any APIs. Although we're keeping such changes to a minimum, Django developers should be acutely aware of these changes.
Of course, once we reach our first official release, we'll be strongly committed to backward compatibility.
This page lists all backwards-incompatible changes to Django so far.
Moved mod_python handler
As of [169], using
django.core.handler as a mod_python handler is deprecated. Use
django.core.handlers.modpython instead. We will be removing
django.core.handler for Django's first release.
Changed ordering syntax
As of [292], syntax used for
order_by (in the database API) and
ordering (in models) has changed.
Example of old ordering syntax:
order_by=[('foo', 'ASC'), ('bar', 'DESC')]
Example of new ordering syntax:
order_by=['foo', '-bar']
The old syntax is deprecated, and we'll stop supporting it for Django's first release.
Refactored meta.py
As of [378],
django/core/meta.py has been converted to a package,
django/core/meta/. If you're using a version of Django from before [378], make sure to delete
django/core/meta.pyc and
django/core/meta.pyo, if they exist. The existence of those files doesn't pose any known problems, but it's best to clean things up.
Changed edit_inline and edit_inline_type behavior
As of [440], using
edit_inline_type in your models is deprecated, in favor of a less-redundant approach that uses
edit_inline itself.
Example of old syntax:
edit_inline=True, edit_inline_type=meta.TABULAR
Example of new syntax:
We'll stop supporting the old syntax for Django's first release.
Changed admin log to store primary keys as TEXT fields, not INTEGER fields
As of [469], the
object_id field in
django.models.auth.LogEntry is a
TextField instead of an
IntegerField. We made this change to accomodate non-integer primary keys.
If you're using a Django database installation from before [469] and you want to use non-integer primary keys on an object you edit in the admin site, you'll need to do an
ALTER TABLE in your database.
In PostgreSQL:
BEGIN; ALTER TABLE auth_admin_log RENAME object_id TO object_id_old; ALTER TABLE auth_admin_log ADD COLUMN object_id TEXT; UPDATE auth_admin_log SET object_id = object_id_old; ALTER TABLE auth_admin_log DROP COLUMN object_id_old; COMMIT;
In MySQL:
ALTER TABLE auth_admin_log MODIFY object_id TEXT;
Added support for anonymous sessions
As of [518], Django has support for anonymous sessions. If you're using a Django database installation from before [518] and you want to use the Django admin, anonymous sessions or auth-based sessions, you'll need to make a few updates to your database and settings files.
Change your settings files
"django.middleware.sessions.SessionMiddleware" to the
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES tuple in your admin settings file. Make sure it appears before
"django.middleware.admin.AdminUserRequired". (The middleware classes are applied in order, and the admin middleware requires that the session middleware come first.)
If you want session support any other (i.e., non-admin) Django installation, change the
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES setting accordingly. The order (i.e., whether it comes before or after the other installed middleware classes) doesn't matter.
Create the core_sessions database table
In PostgreSQL, use this:
CREATE TABLE core_sessions ( session_key varchar(40) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, session_data text NOT NULL, expire_date timestamp with time zone NOT NULL ); INSERT INTO content_types (name, package, python_module_name) VALUES ('session', 'core', 'sessions');
In MySQL and SQLite, use this:
CREATE TABLE core_sessions ( session_key varchar(40) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, session_data text NOT NULL, expire_date datetime NOT NULL ); INSERT INTO content_types (name, package, python_module_name) VALUES ('session', 'core', 'sessions');
Remove old, unneeded things
Execute this SQL in your database:
DROP TABLE auth_sessions; DELETE FROM content_types WHERE package = 'auth' AND python_module_name = 'sessions';
Edit your settings file(s) to remove
AUTH_SESSION_COOKIE and
REGISTRATION_COOKIE_DOMAIN, if they exist.
Changed model syntax
As of [549], Django's model syntax has changed. If you're using models that use old (pre-[549]) syntax, you'll need to convert them according to the instructions on ModelSyntaxChangeInstructions.
Moved template loader module
As of [867],
django.core.template_loader is deprecated. Use
django.core.template.loader instead.
Refactored the admin app not to require its own settings file
As of an upcoming changeset, the admin will have been refactored.
What changed
- The admin no longer requires its own settings file. The "main" site and admin site can run on the same Django installation.
- All the admin code moved to
- If you're using the admin, you need to add
"django.contrib.admin"to your
- The admin database table isn't installed unless you explicitly have the admin installed (
django-admin.py install admin).
- Renamed the admin log database table to give it a
How to update your code
If you're using a Django installation from before this changeset, do the following to restore your admin site:
- Execute this SQL command:
ALTER TABLE auth_admin_log RENAME TO django_admin_log;
- Edit your Django settings file (probably called
settings/main.py) to make the following changes:
- Add
INSTALLED_APPS. Order doesn't matter; it can be the first, last, whatever.
- Remove
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES, if it's in there.
- Add
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES, if it's not already in there.
- Add
TEMPLATE_LOADERS, after
"django.core.template.loaders.filesystem.load_template_source". If you don't have the
TEMPLATE_LOADERSsetting, set it to this:
TEMPLATE_LOADERS = ( 'django.core.template.loaders.filesystem.load_template_source', 'django.core.template.loaders.app_directories.load_template_source', )
- Add
- Remove your admin settings file (probably called
settings/admin.py) and admin URLconf (probably called
- Edit your main URLconf (probably called
settings/urls/main.py) and add this line:
(r'^admin/', include('django.contrib.admin.urls.admin')),
Change that
"admin"to whatever URL you were using for the admin site.
The following steps are optional but will tighten your code up. All assume your project is called
- Move
- Delete
myproject/settings/urls/admin.py(unless you had custom things in it, of course).
- Move
- Edit
myproject/settings.pyto change
ROOT_URLCONF}} from {{{"myproject.settings.urls.main"to
