Elisabeth Hasselbeck is taking her view over to Fox News.
After shooting down rumors of her exit from "The View," it looks like Hasselbeck will depart from her seat on the daytime talker to set up shop over at "Fox & Friends." Wednesday is her last day on the long-running gabfest.
The departure of Hasselbeck, the conservative voice of the bunch, signals a changing of the guard on the talk show -- Joy Behar announced she'd be leaving at the end of the current season, and Barbara Walters announced she'll be retiring in 2014. It's a musical chairs more akin to prime-time singing competition shows. The announcement comes on the heels of reports that Jenny McCarthy is poised to take up Behar's spot at the end of the summer.

In regard to the decampment of Hasselbeck from "The View," Walters offered this statement: "We have had ten wonderful years with Elisabeth and she will now be swimming in new waters," said the TV news veteran and show's creator. "We will miss her and wish her everything good."
No word yet on when the search for her replacement will begin. Part of ABC's statement of adieu thanked the former "Survivor" contestant (never forget!) for her decade of participation. "She stood behind her political views even if they were not the most popular opinions at the table, never shying away from voicing a difficult question. We thank Elisabeth and wish her luck as she begins this new chapter of her career."
Hasselbeck joined "The View" in 2003, and often sparred with her co-hosts -- most notably Rosie O'Donnell and Whoopie Goldberg -- on political issues.
Hasselbeck will make the switch to cable later this fall, joining current "Fox & Friends" co-hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade. Meanwhile, current co-host Gretchen Carlson has landed her own one-hour signature daytime series, which will also debut this fall.
FOX News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes commented on the move: "Elisabeth's warm and engaging personality made her a star on 'The View,'" Ailes said. "She has proven to be an excellent conversationalist and I am certain she will make a great addition to our already successful morning franchise."
The reshuffling on the cable news network comes a week after it announced Megyn Kelly, its longtime anchor of its popular daytime show "America Live," would be receiving her own evening show when she returns from maternity leave. Details on that transition are still under wraps. The move, of course, left room open for a "Fox & Friends" personality to headline her own show -- in this case, Carlson.

| WMU News
KALAMAZOO—A preeminent scholar on race, inequality and urban poverty will headline a dinner program next month to raise funds for Western Michigan University's Walker Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnic Relations and to honor the man after whom the institute is named.
The event, "More Than Just Race: A Pathway to the Future," is set for 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, March 15, in the Bernhard Center Ballroom. Reservations are requested by Wednesday, March 6.
The evening will feature a tribute to Dr. Lewis Walker, WMU professor emeritus of sociology, who helped create the institute in 1990 and was the first African-American faculty member with a doctoral degree hired by WMU. The Walker Institute was named in his honor in 2000.
Dr. William Julius Wilson, a friend and former undergraduate classmate of Walker's, will be the event's main speaker. Wilson will discuss the reasons for the persistence of concentrated poverty in many inner city neighborhoods and present his views on a pathway to a better future.
Proceeds from the dinner program will support the Walker Institute's mission to promote more equitable and inclusive communities through research, teaching and service. The event will include a private reception from 5 to 6 p.m. Tickets cost $20 for students, $60 for general admission and $75 for the dinner and private reception. Individual tables are available for groups of eight people.
Visit mywmu.com/walkerinstitute to register online, become a dinner sponsor or make a gift to the Walker Institute.
For more information, contact Shaghil Husain at email@example.com or (269) 387-2155.
Lewis Walker
Walker joined the WMU faculty in 1964 and served as chair of the Department of Sociology from 1989 to 1999, the year he retired from the University after 35 years of service. A specialist in race relations, criminology, juvenile delinquency and social psychology, he served as the Walker Institute's interim director in 2007 and has written seven books and many scholarly articles.
Walker grew up in Selma and Birmingham, Ala., during the Jim Crow era and has devoted himself to studying race, ethnicity and poverty, and the struggle for justice and civil rights. Among the chief beneficiaries of his work are the 20,000 WMU students he has taught and the citizens of Kalamazoo and other Michigan communities where he worked to promote justice and understanding.
A leader on and off campus, Walker has been a member of or consultant to a wide variety of boards. His knowledge in the area of social justice led city officials to utilize his extensive expertise to conduct the first police-community training for police, and he chaired the task force that ultimately led to the creation of the city's Citizens' Public Safety Review and Appeals Board.
Walker has received numerous honors, most recently a 2012 Humanitarian Award from the Metropolitan Kalamazoo Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. His WMU accolades include a teaching excellence award in 1971, a Distinguished Service Award in 1989 and being named the WMU Alumni "W" Club's Man of the Year for 2007.
William Julius Wilson
Wilson is one of only 20 named University Professors, the highest professional distinction a faculty member at Harvard can receive. He teaches in the Kennedy School of Government and also is affiliated with the Department of African and African American Studies. His current research focuses on the increasing concentration of poverty in many large central cities.
A Harvard faculty member since 1996, Wilson previously served as a professor at the University of Chicago and director of that university's Center for the Study of Urban Inequality. He was a MacArthur Prize Fellow from 1987 to 1992 and has been elected to such august bodies as the National Academy of Sciences, American Academy of Arts and Sciences and British Academy.
Wilson is the first and only noneconomist to receive the Seidman Award in Political Economy. In addition, he was named one of America's 25 Most Influential People by Time magazine in 1996 and received the 1998 National Medal of Science, the United States' highest scientific honor.
Wilson's many books include "The Truly Disadvantaged" and "When Work Disappears: The World of the New Urban Poor." Editors of the New York Times Book Review named the former work one of the 16 best books of 1987 and the latter work a notable book of 1996. His latest book, "More than Just Race: Being Black and Poor in the Inner City," was published in 2010.

How about Camby
Discuss anything related to Golden State Warriors basketball here
Moderators: Mr. Crackerz, JREED, Guybrush, 32
I know every trade has it's hold ups and fantasy factor, but I think the player I'd most like to see the warriors pursue is Marcus Camby. I don't know if the Nugs would want to break up their iron interior of him and Martin, but they do have Nene backing him up, so they wouldn't be losing much. I think they could really use Murphy to have a real scoring threat from the 4 and 5 spots. Plus Melo likes to post up so having a guy like Murphy hoisting up some open 3's or drawing big men out would be alot more welcomed there than it is here especially considering they don't have any particularly good outside shooters in their backcourt. Camby gives us a night and day different defense and can score, plus gives us alot more flexibility with our lineup. Besides the obvious advantages it will bring by allowing Ike to play the true 4 and creating in my mind a perfectly balanced team, it will also allow us to pair him with Biedrins or Foyle to create some serious interior D when we need it and we can still have gunners Pietrus, Baron and Jrich in the lineup! The biggest effect it will have I believe is on Dunleavy who can become the glue of the offense with the improved floor spacing and will make his game alot more valueable. I'll even give you that Ike is a downgrade at PF from troy but I believe this trade upgrades every other position. What do you think
ah crap i didn't know about Nene. Well there that goes. Maybe Murphy and Foyle. Nah, thats actually worse for them to have to pay 18+ mil. Why the hell didn't they just frickin resign Dampier. They knew Centers were at a premium and I know we lost alot on his last contract ie. he didnt play til his last year but **** if we are gonna pay Mr. Non aposable thumb Foyle. Goddammit this team better not drive me to an early grave. Frickin over 35 mil a year for Murph Dunleavy Foyle and Fisher. O but we couldn't sign Arenas and Damp. Pathetic. Maybe we should go after Loren Woods or some other cheap center who is over 7 feet. Or how bout get Damp back through a trade.
Dampier is definitely not worse than Foyle. He's about as good a center as you can hope for and we could have just bit the bullet and resigned his lazy ass. The 4.6 Offensive rebounds a game he averaged his last year here could help us now. TMC said theyre shopping K-Mart who would be just as good a fit on this team than Camby, but I don't know how horrible his horrible contract is, so if its some ridiculous Garnett type of deal than forget it. Who else is out there, Maggliore?
David Wood wrote:TMC said theyre shopping K-Mart who would be just as good a fit on this team than Camby, but I don't know how horrible his horrible contract is, so if its some ridiculous Garnett type of deal than forget it.
It's more horrible than that. A max contract, that's why they're shopping him.
And I agree about Dampier. He's talented, but his lazy ass will only perform in contract years. He's been demoted to the bench in Dallas, with Desagana Diop starting!!!!

Affine Contracts
by Jesse Tov <tov at ccs dot neu dot edu>
This package provides affine contracts, based on the paper "Affine Contracts for Affine Types" by Jesse A. Tov and Riccardo Pucella, as submitted to ICFP'09. See http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/tov/pubs/affinecontracts09/ for more information.
For license information, please see the file LICENSE.
For examples, please see examples.ss.
1 The Main Idea
This package allows library authors to protect affine values provided from their libraries from multiple uses. We assume that the author of a library is responsible for correct single-threading within the modules that they write (or for whatever must be done to preserve invariants). The contract combinators exported by this package allow imposing affine constraints on other modules by way of provide/contract, but they do nothing to enforce affinity within a module. We believe this is the appropriate way to do things in the context of the PLT Scheme contract system.
The package supports two kinds of affine contracts: for procedures, and for general values. Because procedures have behavior when applied, it is possible to wrap them to get additional behavior, such as checking that they have not been applied before. Arbitrary values, however, do not necessary have a way to add behavior for when they are "used." Thus, we support affine contracts for non-procedural values by wrapping them in opaque boxes which may be unboxed (dereferenced) only once. Obviously this does nothing to protect the value once unboxed. However, a library may provide functions that both produce and consume affine boxes, and a client of that library will then be responsible not to alias those boxes before passing them back; otherwise, the library responsible for the aliasing will be blamed.
2 Affine Procedures
|(require (planet tov/affine-contracts:2:0/main))
|affine-procedure/c : contract?
A contract for a function that can be applied at most once. The contract checks immediately that the value is a procedure?, and allows the procedure to be applied once. If it is applied further times, a contract error blames the negative party — that is, the module that required the abused procedure.
|(-o dom range)
Produces a contract for a one-shot function with the given domain and range in the style of ->.
|(-o* (mandatory-dom ) (optional-dom ) rest range)
Produces a contract for a one-shot function with the given domain and range in the style of ->*.
3 Affine Boxes
|(require (planet tov/affine-contracts:2:0/main))
We provide facilities for defining new affine box types.
|(define-affine-box box-name)
|(define-affine-box box-name contract?)
The first form defines a new type of affine box, by defining four values whose names is derived from the box-name. If box-name is X, then it defines a constructor, a predicate, an accessor, and a "contract maker" that takes as an argument a contract for the contents of the box:
|make-X : All (A) (A -> (X/c A))
|X? : any/c -> boolean?
|X-ref : All (A) ((X/c A) -> A)
|X/c : contract? -> contract?
If an X/c contract has been applied to a value, then accessing it more than once by X-ref is a contract violation.
The second form allows for providing a contract for the contents of the box, in which case the new box contract is no longer parameterized, and uses the provided contract for the contents of the box:
X/c : contract?
|X : symbol?
|X : symbol?
|c : contract?
This is the procedural form of define-affine-box. Rather than define constructor, predicate, selector, and contract, it returns them.
3.1 The Predefined Affine Box Type
We predefine a generic affine box type:
(define-affine-type affine-box)
This defines four procedures:
|(make-affine-box v) → affine-box?
|v : any/c
Creates a new affine box containing v. (Note that an affine box may be unboxed an unlimited amount of time until it has been wrapped by an affine box contract by affine-box/c.)
|(affine-box? v) → boolean?
|v : any/c
Predicate for affine boxes.
|(affine-box-ref b) → any/c
|b : affine-box?
Gets the value in an affine box. If the affine box has been wrapped by an affine box contract (say, using provide/contract and affine-box/c), then reading it more then once is a contract violation by the negative party.
|(affine-box/c c) → contract?
|c : contract?
Produces a contract for an affine box, given a contract for the contents of the box. For example, to provide a function f that takes a string and returns a one-shot box containing a number, we could write:
(provide/contract [f (string? . -> . (affine-box/c number?))])

COLLEGE STATION � As many as 500 million trees scattered across the Lone Star State have died this year as a result of the unrelenting drought, according to preliminary estimates from Texas Forest Service.
The numbers were derived by Texas Forest Service foresters, who canvassed local forestry professionals, gathering information from them on the drought and its effect on trees in their respective communities.
Each forestry expert estimated the percentage of trees in their region that have died as a result of the 2011 drought. That percentage was applied to the estimated number of trees in the region, a figure determined by the agency's Forest Inventory & Analysis (FIA) program.
Using this approach, an estimated 100 million to 500 million trees with a diameter of 5 inches or larger were estimated to have succumbed to the drought. That range is equivalent to 2 to 10 percent of the state's 4.9 billion trees.
"In 2011, Texas experienced an exceptional drought, prolonged high winds and record-setting temperatures. Together, those conditions took a severe toll on trees across the state," said Burl Carraway, Sustainable Forestry department head. "Large numbers of trees in both urban communities and rural forests have died or are struggling to survive. The impacts are numerous and widespread."
The preliminary estimates indicate three multi-county areas appear to be the hardest hit. The area including Sutton, Crockett, western Kimble and eastern Pecos counties saw extensive mortality among Ashe junipers.
The area including Harris, Montgomery, Grimes, Madison and Leon counties saw extensive mortality among loblolly pines. Western Bastrop and eastern Caldwell counties, as well as surrounding areas, saw extensive mortality among cedars and post oaks.
Additionally, localized pockets of heavy mortality were reported for many other areas.
Texas Forest Service foresters plan to use aerial imagery to conduct a more in-depth analysis in the spring, which is when trees that may have gone into early dormancy - an act of self-preservation - could begin to make a comeback.
A more scientific, long-term study will be completed as the agency collects data through its FIA program. Considered a census for trees, the federally-funded program allows the agency to keep a close watch on trees - and how they're growing and changing - across the state.
As part of the program, foresters are tasked with surveying certain, designated plots of land each year. Because the state is so big, it takes a decade to complete a full inventory cycle.
"Quantifying the impacts of a statewide drought on tree survival is no small task," Carraway said, noting that Texas was home to 63 million acres of forestland, much of which is in remote areas.
"During this time of year, it's difficult to tell in some cases if a tree is truly dead. And keep in mind that the drought is ongoing. We fully expect mortality percentages to increase if the drought continues."

So it happens that we come across something that catches our imagination so much we really, really want to have it. Often, this happens very quickly--the moment we see this item (whatever it might be) we have this feeling we are immediately in sync with it, it speaks to us, we understand it, its purpose, and why it would be a great fit with our lives and perhaps ideals.
But, deep down, we have an equally strong feeling or understanding that we will never actually have it.
It could be because it is very expensive, and we don't have the money, and given many of life's other obligations, it's very unlikely we will ever have the money.
Or it could be that we could pony up the cash (or credit!), but we also know it is a very unwise use and we choose not to do it. Still, we avoid having it only with a strong sense of regret.
I had such an experience over something I guess may be a bit strange, the Bose VideoWave entertainment system. (link below to Bose website which shows and explains what is is in greater detail, if anyone is curious--it is not a sales pitch, by the way, you can only buy Bose products through authorized stores and not through Bose's own website!).
It is basically a 46" flat screen TV, certainly nothing striking in this day and age (actually it uses a Samsung model as a base). But what it does have which no other similar model has is...13 speakers (of which 6 are woofers) built right into the flat screen TV! You get in other words a whole home theater with Bose quality sound without any of the usual components.
There is only one wire coming out of this TV, which goes into a console which concentrates anything else you want to attach (DVD players, etc.). The whole thing is controlled from a super-simple remote, and all other components will be similarly controlled.
When I saw this, on my current flat TV setup, which is a rat's nest of wires, cables, and all sorts of unsightly connections...I had almost an epiphany. Of course, this TV is rather heavy and rather fat but still.
Why will I never have it? I cannot justify spending $5,500 bucks on it, and that is what it costs.
Anyway, I got to thinking and wondered if this sort of experience also happens to others. Have you ran into this situation of really wanting something yet at the very same time knowing you won't have it? A kind of strong yet forever unfulfilled desire?
f yes, and would like to share this experience, this is the thread for you! If you would like to give an opposite argument, say, there should be no (legal!) desires left unfulfilled if they are strong enough, please feel free to do that, too.

The city with 3.4 million inhabitants is one of the most populated capitals of the world. There are so many myths about the German capital, but visitors say, one thing is true: Berlin is so free and open ..
These are the places that you should see in Berlin.
The Brandenburg Gate
The Brandenburg Gate is one of the main symbols of Berlin, Germany. It is between the Platz des 18. März and the Pariser Platz. It is the only remaining gate through which people used to enter Berlin. A little to the north is the Reichstag building. During the Cold War the Reichstag was in West Berlin, and the Brandenburger Tor in East Berlin. It was built between 1788 and 1791.
Fernsehturm Berlin
The Fernsehturm (German for "television tower") is a television tower in the city centre of Berlin, Germany. Close to Alexanderplatz and part of the World Federation of Great Towers (WFGT), the tower was constructed between 1965 and 1969 by the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) administration who intended it as a symbol of Berlin, which it remains today,[1] as it is easily visible throughout the central and some suburban districts of Berlin. With its height of 368 meters, it is the tallest structure in Germany.
Glass dome of the Reichstag
The current Reichstag dome is a glass dome constructed on top of the rebuilt Reichstag building in Berlin. It was designed by architect Norman Foster and built to symbolize the reunification of Germany. The distinctive appearance of the dome has made it a prominent landmark in Berlin.
The Olympiastadion
The Berlin Olympiastadion is a sports stadium in Berlin, Germany. It was built for the 1936 Olympic Games.
Karneval der Kulturen
Belrin has carnival too.
The Berghain
Berghain is a Berlin nightclub, named after its location on the border between Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain.Belin Hotel Philip Sherburne has described it as "quite possibly the current world capital of techno, much as E-Werk or Tresor were in their respective heydays."
This is Berlin at night
this are places who I liked at Berlin there is many more things to see like Berlin wall.

Biscottea Gluten-free Earl Grey Tea, Chai, and Blueberry Tea Shortbread Review
This week when I checked my mail I found a package of gluten-free cookie products from Biscottea, a company that was inspired by the absence of a good snack that went well with tea. Frankly I had forgotten all about them asking if I'd like to try one, and so it was a pleasant surprise.
They perfectly match my passion for tea and innovative gluten-free products. I love the fact that you get two in a neat package so that they don't go stale after opening, unlike a whole bag of cookies. This is a fine example of a quality gluten-free gourmet baked good that doesn't taste inferior to its gluten equivalent in any way. What I want to know is why they aren't in every tea shop in the country- and why they haven't been picked up by retailers like Starbucks or Peet's coffee. The flavor of the shortbread is wonderful, and buttery without being cloying, unlike Pamela's gluten-free shortbread cookies (yuck).
The Nibble picked them as a top pick, saying:
"We have eaten many gluten-free cookies, feeling sorry for those with gluten allergies. They will be very happy to discover that Biscottea's gluten-free cookies are almost as tasty as the regular wheat flour. They are a bit less sweet (we wish the sweetness were on par with the regular cookies), but the excellent tea flavors are virtually identical. Made with gluten-free all purpose flour and sorghum flour, they are a real find for anyone in need of a gluten-free treat. The gluten-free flavors include Blueberry, Chai, and Earl Grey."
For the record- I hate the Nibble's review. The whole pitying thing- totally unnecessary. There might be some crummy prepared GF cookies out there, but there are also some delicious ones produced by Whole Foods Gf bakehouse and GF bakeries and the ones I make at home are awesome, so I don't need anyone mourning MY loss, thank you very much. ;) That aside- I don't know how sweet the gluten version is, but personally I prefer a cookie that isn't super-sweet, and saying that they are ALMOST as tasty as gluten-free? Let's not even go there, people. Nevertheless, I guess any publicity is good publicity, and I'm for anything that increases the gluten-free yummy options in my life!
That aside, whenever a company tries to produce gluten-free products alongside a gluten-line, I get a little worried. The allergen line on the cookie says "Made with Gluten-Free Ingredients: Produced on Shared Equipment, In a Facility using Nuts and Tree Nut Products." I wondered what that meant- and what the equipment was shared WITH, since they didn't say.
I emailed the company, and this is what they had to say:
All of the ingredients purchased to produce the shortbread are gluten-free and stored separately from products containing gluten. All equipment used in the baking process is thoroughly washed down and cleaned at the end of the work week. All gluten-free products are produced first at the beginning of the work week before the equipment has been exposed to any products containing gluten. Finished gluten-free product is fully packaged, specially marked, and stored separately before production of any products containing gluten can begin.To ensure the safety of our consumers who purchase BISCOTTEA gluten-free shortbread cookies, we send random samples from every batch. Test results are linked to the batch by lot number and batch code. Our products are released for sale with results of less than 5 parts per million. " – correspondence from Derek Still of Biscottea.
Of course I prefer a dedicated facility, but if you're going to have a shared facility, their precautions sounded good enough for me- at least until proved otherwise. So, I got up my courage and bit into my first gluten-free Biscottea…
Biscottea Earl Grey Tea Shortbread: I started with their intriguing Earl Grey Tea Shortbread cookie. This delightful shortbread cookie has great texture and crunch, with a mild buttery flavor that is beautifully complimented with the Earl Grey flavoring. You must like Earl Grey (and its bermagot flavoring) to enjoy this cookie, as it is thoroughly infused. I would almost call the flavoring "soapy" but again, it is the bermagot and not any fault of the product. I had one in the interest of taste-testing… and then I gobbled up the second one because I just couldn't resist it. It is rare that I find a gluten-free packaged cookie that tempts me, or one that I feel that I would actually buy on my own, but these shortbread cookies are wonderful, and yes, I would actually buy them myself. In fact, I really want to know where I can buy more…
Texture: 9/10
Flavor: 9/10 (providing you like bermagot)
Overall Impression: 9/10 I will go out of my way to acquire more.

Biscottea Gluten-Free Chai Shortbread:
The very next morning after I had the first Earl Grey GF shortbread, I opened a package of their Chai flavor. I had heard on Twitter that the chai tasted a bit like bean flour, so I was a little nervous. But, when I actually tasted it, I thought the shortbread was quite lovely and did indeed taste like Chai. I noticed that the chai spices did not include tea itself, so I was a little disappointed by that as I felt the black tea might have added an additional punch of flavor. However, I couldn't personally detect bean flour- just cardamon. I gave the DH a bite and he said very happily that it was like eating Chai and didn't taste gluten-free at all. This Chai shortbread was a real winner and thoroughly enjoyable, although it didn't have the strong tea-infused flavor I fell in love with in the Earl Grey Shortbread. I loved that it didn't overdo the cinnamon like some lower quality Chai blends. I could really taste the ginger and cardamon.It would be perfect for any lover of chai tea- and I found it an extremely pleasant snacking cookie that I might buy again- especially if I could get it in an assorted pack of gluten-free shortbreads. (Hint, hint…)
Texture: 9/10, everything a shortbread cookie should be
Flavor: 7/10- lovely but would be even lovelier with black tea as an ingredient!
Overall Impression: 8/10 Good and enjoyed by the non GF DH- I would possibly buy this again. If there was more of a tea flavor likelihood would go up even more..

Biscottea Gluten-Free Blueberry Tea Shortbread Cookie: This blueberry tea cookie was out of stock everywhere I checked, so it may be a popular variety. I never tend to drink fruity caffeinated teas (although I love Celestial Seasoning fruity herbal tea). I was intrigued by the fact that it was made with white tea, and greatly looking forward to trying this cookie, although sad that it would be my last sample of Biscottea. *sniff* When I bit into the shortbread, I could definitely taste the authentic blueberry flavoring. I'm very leery of artificial flavors and this cookie had a real, natural, concentrated blueberry flavor that I enjoyed. The cookie did somehow seem a little more dry than the other flavors, and try as I might I couldn't detect any trace of the white tea used in the cookie. I ate the first one and enjoyed it, but the nicest part was when I bit into the second cookie and got a burst of blueberry essence. I could see enjoying this shortbread with white tea or some other nice tea, but I don't know that I would buy it again just because to me it didn't reach the same special gourmet flavor level that the other gluten-free, tea infused cookies achieved. But, maybe this is just the snob in me that doesn't care for fruity caffeinated beverages… This shortbread may be perfect for those who love fruit flavors and aren't looking for a strong tea flavor in the cookie.
Texture: 7/10, this pack may have been less fresh as the cookie was a bit dry.
Flavor: 6/10, good for those that enjoy fruit flavors in their cookies or tea, less interesting if you want a strong tea flavor.
Overall Impression: 6/10 A fine cookie, but I wouldn't personally buy it again unless it was in a multi-flavor package…

Eating with Invisalign
No. Thanks to the removable nature of the aligners, you can eat and drink whatever you want while in treatment. In fact, you're required to remove your aligners to eat and drink. So, unlike undergoing traditional treatment using wires and brackets, there is no need to restrict your consumption of any of your favorite foods and snacks unless instructed otherwise by your doctor. Also, it is important that you brush your teeth after each meal and prior to re-inserting your aligners to maintain fresh breath and proper hygiene.

Turn anything matching a certain regex into a link
A disadvantage of using InterWiki to link to external pages is that the user has to put a prefix before the link, for example MeatBall:InterMapTxt.
In some cases, the actual text to be linked is distinctive enough to be turned into a link without many false positives. For example, TOPdesk service management software uses identifiers like '0811 123' for incidents. When text of this form occurs, it could be automatically rendered into a link to the relevant TOPdesk page.
The intention of this Trac plugin is to allow these kinds of links to be made with a minimum of configuration, based on a regex that matches the external identifiers.
Known issues
- Unnamed groups in the regex cannot be used in the url

This means 0811 123 becomes a link to topdesk/query=0811%0123, and example123 becomes a link to example.org/123

GREAT Swamp Birding
Last week, an adult White Ibis was found at the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. There are only a handful of inland records of this species and I had never seen one in NJ (despite there being a few sightings of one last year). Sunday was a beautiful morning, so I headed out early to the spot where it had been seen most regularly. A few other birders were around and we all waited patiently for the bird to show with no luck. Other birds were there for our enjoyment though. Lots of Yellow Warblers were around and I was able to get a good shot of one.

Ryder Searle played a long three-set match in his first appearance at the state tournament.
Then, with his fate not in his own hands, his chances at a third-place finish slipped away.
Searle, the Pagosa Springs High School student-athlete who plays for Durango High School because the Pirates dont have a tennis program, fell 6-2, 4-6, 6-2 to Kollen Kaltenbacher of Air Academy in the first round of the CHSAA Class 4A Boys Tennis State Championships on Friday in Pueblo. He saw his tournament come to an end hours later when Kaltenbacher lost in straight sets to David Mitchell of Kent Denver 6-1, 6-2.
In order to qualify for playbacks and a shot at third place, the losing player must hope his winning opposition qualifies for the finals. Those players who lose to the two finalists enter the playback bracket; all others are eliminated.
Searle, a state alternate the last two years, is a junior and will have a shot to return to state next year as a senior. He qualified for state by winning his regional.

UFC Fight Night 31 headliner Rafael Natal hears the comments about how his fight with Tim Kennedy is an unworthy UFC main event, but he's determined to prove those naysayers wrong.
Natal may have been called to fill in as a replacement for former light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida, but just because he's a lesser-known name, that shouldn't be any reason to expect a lesser fight, he said.
"We're going to make a good show for the people, and we will see what they say after the fight," Natal told MMAjunkie.com. "UFC, Dana White and Joe Silva know what they're doing to promote a fight, and if they made this the main event, they did it for a reason."
While others may harp on the quality of the Natal (17-4-1 MMA, 5-2-1 UFC) vs. Kennedy (16-4 MMA, 1-0 UFC) matchup, what many seem to forget is the "UFC Fight Night 31: Fight for the Troops 3" card takes place on a military base (where no tickets are sold, and active military personnel received complimentary commission) and is designed to raise funds for charitable causes. The event goes down Wednesday on FOX Sports 1 from Fort Campbell with preliminary card action streaming on MMAjunkie.com.
For Natal, serving as a replacement against a former special forces soldier is not a problem. The Brazilian was able to fight in his home country earlier this year, and he believes that experience will actually be beneficial against Kennedy.
"I fought in Brazil my last fight, and the crowd was for me," Natal said. "It was hard to concentrate because I was so excited. This fight is going to be different. Now I have to focus. … If the crowd is against me, I'm going to be more concentrated, stronger, and I'm going to fight harder and harder."
A victory over Kennedy would move Natal to 4-0 in the UFC this year, a record no other fighter on the roster currently can match. The 30-year-old is thrilled he has the opportunity to compete so often, but he's also looking forward to time off after his most difficult matchup to date.
"I have three wins in a row, four fights this year, and I'm very happy," Natal said. "I always make a fight a fight, and I'm going to do this one more than I'm going to rest, but I'm very happy to get one more fight this year."
While the active schedule has forced Natal to train full-time for essentially the entire year, that's not exactly a bad thing in terms of progressing his skill set.
Several aspects of Natal's game have turned a corner in recent months, he said, and he views the fight with Kennedy as his chance to show off an improved level of concentration inside the cage.
"I can be winning, but they can throw one punch or one kick, and knock you out," he said. "You have to pay attention, stay focused on the fight to the last second. It doesn't matter if I look great in the fight. It doesn't matter if I am in front of my hometown like my last fight. I have to stay focused."
Natal believes his newfound emphasis on focus is something that will be a major factor against Kennedy.
With five wins in his past six octagon appearances, the 30-year-old is starting to build a resume worthy of a top-10 ranking. In taking on a two-time Strikeforce title challenger, Natal believes after three years of hard work in the UFC, he's finally being given a chance to shine.
And whether or not people believe he deserves to be there, Natal sure isn't about to let the opportunity slip through his fingers.
"I'm going to beat Tim then I'm going to be in the top 10 for sure," Natal said. "It's going to be a very good fight for me, and it will be one of the best fights of the year."

What is Z-Wave?
Zwave (or Z wave or Z-wave) is a protocol for communication among devices used for home automation. It uses RF for signaling and control.
Zwave was developed by Zensys, Inc. a start-up company based in Denmark. Zwave was released in 2004. Based on the concepts of Zigbee, Zwave strives to build simpler and less expensive devices than Zigbee. In 2009 Sigma Designs of Milpitas, CA purchased Zensys/Zwave.
Dozens of manufacturers make Zwave compatible (to a lessor or greater extent) products, mostly in the lighting control space.
The Basics
Zwave operates at 908.42 MHz in the US (868.42 MHz in Europe) using a mesh networking topology. A Zwave network can contain up to 232 nodes, although reports exist of trouble with networks containing over 30-40 nodes. Zwave operates using a number of profiles (think of them like languages), but the manufacturer claims they interoperate. Use care when selecting products as some products from certain manufacturers are not compatible with other manufacturers' products.
Zwave utilizes GFSK modulation and Manchester channel encoding.
A central, network controller, device is required to setup and manage a Zwave network. Each product in the home must be "included" to the Zwave network before it can be controlled via Zwave (and before it can assist in repeating/hoping within the mesh network).
Each Z-Wave network is identified by a Network ID and each device is further identified by a Node ID.
The Network ID (aka Home ID) is the common identification of all nodes belonging to one logical Z-Wave network. Network ID has a length of 4 bytes and is assigned to each device by the primary controller when the device is added into the network. Nodes with different Network ID's cannot communicate with each other.
The Node ID is the address of the device /
node existing within network. The Node ID has a length of 1 byte.
Z-Wave uses a source-routed mesh network topology and has one primary controllers. Secondary controllers can exist, but are optional. Devices can communicate to one another by using intermediate nodes to route around and circumvent household obstacles or radio dead spots that might occur though a message called "healing". Delays will be observed during the healing process. A message from node A to node C can be successfully delivered even if the two nodes are not within range, providing that a third node B can communicate with nodes A and C. If the preferred route is unavailable, the message originator will attempt other routes until a path is found to the "C" node. Therefore, a Z-Wave network can span much farther than the radio range of a single unit; however, with several of these hops a slight delay may be introduced between the control command and the desired result.[5] In order for Z-Wave units to be able to route unsolicited messages, they cannot be in sleep mode. Therefore, battery-operated devices are not designed as repeater units. A Z-Wave network can consist of up to 232 devices with the option of bridging networks if more devices are required.
As a source routed static network, Z-Wave assumes that all devices in the network remain in their original detected position. Mobile devices, such as remote controls, are therefore excluded from routing.
Z-wave released later versions with added network discovery mechanisms so that 'explorer frames' could be used to heal broken routes caused by devices that have been moved or removed. A Pruning algorithm is used in explorer frame broadcasts and are therefore supposed to reach the target device, even without further topology knowledge by the transmitter. Explorer frames are used as a last option by the sending device when all other routing attempts have failed.

New Book 2012 BEST OF THE SPIT TAKE Elevates Comedy as Art Form; to Celebrate Release at NYC's The Stand, 2/21
When Americans go to the movies, a concert, or a gallery opening, they look for their favorite actor, band, or artistic genre. So, why is it that when choosing a comedy performance, the decision is often based on which venue is closest? Julie Seabaugh, a Doer at Brown Paper Tickets, is trying to change the way America devours comedy with the new book The Best of The Spit Take: A Compilation of Professional Comedy Criticism, released today by Paradisiac Publishing, and available for $11.99 at www.amazon.com/2012-Best-The-Spit-Take/dp/0985316861.
"Comedy is an artistic endeavor on par with music, film, literature, or visual art, and it's about time that Americans developed a more sophisticated palate for what they think is funny," Seabaugh says. What's the missing link? "Professional critical analysis that helps audiences actively seek out, appreciate, and respect the comedic talent that makes them think, makes them laugh, and makes them fall in love with thinking and laughing at the same time."
The world's first comedy-review compilation is based on work published on The Spit Take (www.thespittake.com), Seabaugh's website of professional comedy criticism, which features timely analyses of albums, DVDs, specials, films, books, and live performances from a comedic gamut of relatively unknown talent, respected workhorses, and living legends.
Most major newspapers in the U.K. employ a comedy critic, whose work is given the same weight as professional reviewers of music, film, theater, literature, visual art, etc. In the U.S., print comedy coverage tends to be limited to an annual Comedy Issue, or rote and shallow, in a manner akin to a glorified calendar listing. Explains Seabaugh, "Very few publications take comedy reviews seriously, and none publish them very frequently. We are doing both."
The reviews in the book are contributed by some of the most respected comedy-loving journalists in the country. "I've always frowned upon the conflict of interest inherent when performers write about other performers," Seabaugh says. Unlike many comedy-news websites, The Spit Take's list of contributors regularly contribute to publications including Variety, New York Magazine, GQ, Rolling Stone, The Village Voice, Time Out NY, Las Vegas Weekly, The Denver Post, The Boston Globe, and many, many more, and they are all paid for their efforts. "The enjoyment of comedy can be subjective, but The Spit Take's contributors show not only why some material is inarguably of higher inherent quality, but why it matters.

CMA tops St. Joe for Plymouth Sectional championship
PLYMOUTH — Two weeks ago Culver Community made program history with its first-ever regional girls basketball championship.
On Saturday, neighboring Culver Military Academies bucked its own historical trend, capturing its first sectional championship since joining the IHSAA state series 36 years ago, with a 66-57 victory over South Bend St. Joseph's in the Class 3A Sectional 19 final at Plymouth.
The Eagles improve to 16-6 and move on to the Class 3A Crown Point Regional Saturday, where they will face Andrean in the opening game at 11 a.m. EST, followed by a game between Gary Wallace and Western.
"I think it's gratifying, especially for the seniors to get to go out sectional champs and hopefully keep advancing," said Eagles head basketball coach Mark Galloway. "I think we keep getting better every week so it's nice to keep practicing one more week so we can keep getting better."
"It's amazing to have everyone here to share this," he added. "I think we had the biggest crowd in the gym."
St. Joe was still in the game up until late in the third quarter, as CMA closed out the frame 7-2 for a 47-41 advantage going into the fourth, then held off the Indians in the remaining eight minutes for the win.
"It's kind of a great microcosm of our season; we lost eight in a row and in January they came back and won eight in a row. Our guys didn't quit. They kept battling tonight, and that's what they did throughout the season," said South Bend St. Joe head coach Marty Harshman.
CMA trailed early, falling behind 13-8 at the first quarter break before a 4-0 first half-closing mini-run off back-to-back steals by Hayes Barnes and Juwan Brescacin for a pair of easy transition layups knotted the game at 22-all going into halftime.
The third quarter featured a total of five ties and four lead changes before CMA point guard Jermaine Myers put the Eagles up for good with a 3-pointer off the top of the key around the 2:30 mark of the frame.
Myers finished with a game-high 23 points, nine assists with just one turnover with six rebounds and four steals to lead his team to its first sectional title. Myers scored 17 of his points in the decisive second half to lift his team past the Indians.
"In the first half their zone really slowed me down," said Myers. "Second half, coach told me to attack the zone, make plays, make things happen. I went out there and I tried to get my teammates involved, tried to assert myself a bit more."
"The thing about Jermaine is he's the first one in the gym and the last one to leave," Galloway said. "He is such a floor leader, and he keeps us poised, keeps us under control."
CMA earned a living at the free throw line in the win, drawing numerous shooting fouls inside the Indians' 2-3 zone and capitalizing with 16 of 27 charity tosses, while St. Joe went to the line just six times with 7-for-9 free throw shooting in the loss.
"Their length makes it tough," said Harshman. "We told our guys tonight, when you get inside we want you to go right into their chests to try and neutralize their length. That's a lot easier said than done, though, when you're going up against 7-1 and 6-5 and 6-5. They're able to get the deflections and just kind of discourage any inside action because they're so dang long and big in there."
St. Joe was led by senior Dylan McMahon's 19 points, while fellow upperclassmen Matt Mackowiak and Sean Hart scored 12 and 10 points, respectively.
CMA had four total players in double digits as Myers scored 23, Juwan Brescacin put up 15, 7-foot-1 center Chier Ajou used a strong second-half effort to finish with 14, and Willie Strong tallied 11 in the win.

Remember this guy! Captain Sweatpants? Ringing any bells? Well, you may have assumed that he was already in jail or worse (the CFL), but his trial hasn't even started yet. And now it won't until 2010! Did someone say J-E-T-S?
Plaxico Burress appeared in court today so that a judge could tell him not to come back to court again. His case has been adjourned until September, at which point it will go before a grand jury—where he will almost certainly be indicted—and that means the actual guilty/not guilty trial will probably not take place until next year. It may seem like mindless legal maneuvering, but it actually makes a very big difference to Burress.
Plaxico's lawyers claim that Roger Goodell cannot suspend Plaxico Burress until he has actually been convicted of something. So by moving the trial back to February or later, he could conceivably play the entire 2009 season before any verdict is handed down. The NFL, however, doesn't necessarily agree with that interpretation of the player conduct policy. The league may try to suspend him anyway (followed by a lengthy grievance process with the Player's Association), but (maybe) can't do that until he's actually signed by a team. And no one will sign a guy if they think he's going to be suspended. And round and round we go...
No one can know what lurks in the mind King Goodell, but now every non-baseball sport has called it a season, you will be forced to ponder these questions until late August.

NEW YORK—They're baaack! Once again, the Heritage Foundation is mangling statistics to whitewash the ugly facts of life in Republican-run America.
Last time, in 2005, they attacked the image of U.S. soldiers as cannon fodder being exploited for Halliburton. Au contraire, claimed the conservative propaganda mill. American troops, they said, were actually "wealthier, more educated and more rural than the average" citizen. Of course, this wasn't true. Military personnel are poorer and less educated than the average Joe, I found, when I took a closer look. Heritage's soldier study used junk logic and apples-to-oranges statistics to promote the GOP's wars against Iraq and Afghanistan. And it worked.
The lazy men who run the big newspapers and TV networks, deluded into believing there are two sides to every story, dutifully repeated Heritage's lies. They never questioned a word. More soldiers died. The Heritage story made us feel less guilty about it.
Now Heritage is telling us that there are no poor people—very few, anyway, and then only for short periods of time—in the United States. The truth is that capitalism is failing millions of Americans. The less we think about the problem, the less we think it is a problem, the worse it will become.
The pseudoacademic demagogues of the right want us to distrust our own eyes. Panhandlers? "Homeless by choice" urban campers, Ronald Reagan, patron saint of modern Republicanism, called them. Single mothers? He said they were "welfare queens." Americans who live in the sprawling slums of the inner cities, the washed-up Walmarted Main Streets of the farm belt, and the scary barred-window suburbs of California and Georgia and Illinois? They're living large, says the Heritage Foundation in a "study" whose dubious findings have already been reprinted—completely unquestioned, as usual—by hundreds of newspapers read by millions of gullible subscribers.
The Census Bureau says that 36.5 million Americans—one in eight—are poor. But "if poverty means a lack of nutritious food, adequate warm housing, and clothing for a family, then very few of the people identified as living 'in poverty' would, in fact, be characterized as poor," says Heritage's Robert Rector. "The typical person defined as 'poor' by the Census has cable or satellite TV, air conditioning, a microwave, a DVD player or VCR, and two color TVs."
No doubt, poor people in a technologically advanced nation like the United States don't live as minimally as those in undeveloped states like Afghanistan. In Afghanistan, on the other hand, a middle-class American homeowner would be spectacularly wealthy. A man worth $500,000 could become a warlord. There are no Afghan billionaires. Poverty is relative.
Even the claim that gadget ownership is incompatible with true poverty doesn't hold up: Rector refers to "a DVD player or VCR." But VCRs are antiquated, a decade out of date. It's like saying that someone who owns "a computer or a typewriter" isn't poor.
"Poor Americans living in houses or apartments, on average, have more living space per person than does the average citizen living in European countries such as England, France and Germany," the Heritage study asserts. There's a footnote—but the source material doesn't include figures for per-capita housing density in Europe. (As far as I can tell, such data doesn't exist.) Even if it's true, though, it's a factoid without a point. Europe, urbanized for the past 2,000 years, has an overall higher population density than we do—yet enjoys the world's highest standard of living.
The more you think about Heritage's BS, the worse it gets.
"Three quarters of these 'poor'"—note the quotes—own a car," Rector continues. Are those cars in good working order, or up on blocks? He doesn't say—but there's a difference.
"When asked, [the typical 'poor person'] reports that his family was able to obtain medical care whenever needed during the past year," he continues. True—sorta. Uninsured people often rely on hospitals, enduring long waits and high fees for substandard care rendered by harried emergency room staffers. Hospitals are legally obligated to treat them—but it's hardly a workable system. Many poor (and middle class) people put off going to the doctor as long as possible.
Then there's this sparkling gem of compassion: "Some poor families," admits Rector, "do experience a temporary food shortage, a condition touted as 'hunger' by activists. But even this condition is relatively rare: 89 percent of the poor report their families always have 'enough' food to eat, while only 2 percent say they 'often' do not have enough to eat."
"Temporary food shortage." If that isn't hunger, what is? "Very simply," says the U.S. Department of Agriculture, "hunger is defined as the uneasy or painful sensation caused by lack of food. When we talk about hunger in America, we refer to the ability of people to obtain sufficient food for their household. Some people may find themselves skipping meals or cutting back on the quality or quantity of food they purchase at the stores. This recurring and involuntary lack of access to food can lead to malnutrition over time."
Economists consider a society's infant mortality rate to be the most reliable indicator of its citizens' quality of life, and the prevalence of poverty. The United States has the second-worst infant mortality rate in the industrialized world—behind Latvia, tied with Hungary, Malta, Poland and Slovakia. Western Europe—France, Germany, etc.—kicks our national ass. The poverty rate for American children under 18 was 21.9 percent in 2006, the highest in the developed world.
Upwardly mobile Americans can escape poverty numerous ways—by, for example, earning a college scholarship. But we also suffer a lot of downward mobility, typically after losing a job. "While in any given year, 12 to 15 percent of the population is poor," says Michael Zweig, author of What's Class Got To Do With It: American Society in the 21st Century, "over a 10-year period, 40 percent experience poverty in at least one year because most poor people cycle in and out of poverty."
Even the Heritage Foundation concedes that some poverty exists in this best of all possible laissez-faire worlds. But, they argue in the finest tradition of blame-the-victim, it's "self-inflicted, a result of poor decisions and self-defeating behaviors."
Poor Americans, they say, have a "weak work ethic." The evidence: "The typical poor family with children is supported by only 800 hours of work during a year—16 hours per week. "If work in each family were raised to 2,000 hours per year—the equivalent of one adult working 40 hours per week throughout the year—nearly 75 percent of poor children would be lifted out of official poverty." This assumes that poor parents live in a magical job market where they can work as many hours as they please—a condition that would only exist with zero percent unemployment.
"Father absence is another major cause of child poverty," says Heritage's poverty study. True. "Nearly two-thirds of poor children reside in single-parent homes; each year, an additional 1.3 million children are born out of wedlock." Again true. The conservative solution: "If poor mothers married the fathers of their children, almost three-quarters would immediately be lifted out of poverty." Stupid welfare queens! Why do they refuse to marry the fathers of their children?
A cat or dog understands hunger. The fact that we have to have this discussion demonstrates the success of the right in redefining basic terms—and the failure of the press to question it.

CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) — A masked man carrying a gun and a machete entered a parked car and opened fire on five young adults inside, killing the driver and a passenger and wounding the others, then pushed aside the driver's body and drove off with four of the victims inside, authorities said, in a startling burst of violence even for a city consistently ranked as one of the nation's most dangerous.
It was not clear whether the gunman knew anyone in the car or what sparked the shooting late Saturday, Camden County prosecutor's spokesman Jason Laughlin said. The gunman eventually fled and remained at large Sunday, authorities said.
The car was parked in an alley when the masked man approached and got in on the driver's side, Laughlin said. He fired several shots, killing the 18-year-old driver, Jewel Manire, and Khalil Gibson, 20, of Camden.
The spray of bullets wounded a 20-year-old woman in the face, a 16-year-old in the head and another 16-year-old in the arm, Laughlin said.
After the gunman stopped shooting, he pushed aside Manire's body and drove off with all the victims inside except the teenager who was shot in the arm. She had managed to escape and called 911.
The car was driven to a nearby dirt road, where the 20-year-old woman also jumped out and ran off. The gunman briefly pursued her but could not catch her, and he soon ran away.
He was described as Hispanic and about 6 feet tall. He wore a black mask over the lower part of his face and yellow latex gloves.
All three wounded victims remained in the hospital Sunday, two in critical condition.
Camden, a city of about 80,000 that sits along the Delaware River across from Philadelphia, continually ranks as one of the most dangerous and poorest in the U.S. The two fatalities bring the city's homicide total this year to 50, eight short of the record reached in 1995.
City officials are trying to replace the police department with a force run by the county, a move that would circumvent union rules in order to increase the number of officers while keeping costs the same.
Last month, authorities said they were trying to determine whether a contaminated batch of PCP was going around town after a child was decapitated and two other children's throats were slashed by people believed to be on the illegal drug. A man charged in the attack admitted to police that he had smoked "wet," a combination of PCP and marijuana.

Sourdough rye
I baked my first sourdough rye loaves yesterday, using the recipe from Peter Reinhart's Artisan Bread Every Day. I didn't have caraway, nigella, or orange oil, so just made plain loaves. The rye percentage in that recipe is something like 22%. The bread wouldn't be a heavy rye, but it does have more than the 15% rye I noted in some online recipes.
My first slices, eaten after the loaves had mostly cooled, didn't seem to taste of rye. They tasted somewhat like my usual sourdough, if not as sharp and tangy. Today's slice seemed to have much more rye flavor. I wonder if the flavor only emerges fully once the loaf has completely cooled.
The rye flour I used was Bob's Red Mill, whole grain, dark rye. However, I bought it from the local supermarket, and it may have been sitting on the shelf for a while. I also ended up leaving the rye sourdough starter in the fridge for four days, the limit, because I was busy with this and that. Perhaps the long fermentation may have affected the flavor.
I think next time I'll try this with caraway seeds. I've been on a Reuben sandwich binge and want to see how the bread affects the taste. (Reubens made with my normal sourdough were great, as were Reubens on ciabatta rolls from the supermarket.)


text: Ok, Here is what I would like to do "after the fact". (After a great install and upgrade). I have two servers - separate units. The first server and second server are identical (except that the first server's mail system doesn't work). This is what I would like to do with server number two. I have upgraded the php, mysql, mysql-server, and phpMyAdmin on both servers which has made a dramatic difference in the way they operate. (Mostly the mysql and mysql-server). The big picture, server one is hosting about 50 websites and doesn't break a sweat. The second server again is identical except for disk space. It is raid 5 (4 x 500 gb) , where the first server is raid 5 (6 x 80). My original thinking was that the smaller server's space would be gone in no time. WRONG! So, what I do know is that server two is going to have too many requests on one IP, so... I plan to add one public IP to server one today, but I would like to take server two and create a slave server three with server two (since it has so much disk space). The purpose is that the slave server will only be mail relay (mail server). The set-up is not like the Manual's 5 Debian server system. It is Fedora 14, where the server is the server for everything...mail, dns, etc. I don't mind having a slave server that can fully function as a complete webserver even though it won't, I just don't want to tear down a system that works so well. With respect to the ISPConfig control panel, I will be the only one accessing the slave server anyway (The new mail server). So, bottom line, can I add this slave server after the fact? It seems as if I could, but I am not sure what all files to change. I would also like to allocate a specific amount of disk space for the third (slave) server. Thanks in advance
