Interesting... I don't think it's a bug. Don't try to rm /usr/bin/rm I guess ;P
Good point!
This little maneuver almost killed my system! I guess the best thing I could do to safeguard this machine is block myself from the root account, because I just might have screwed up when copying files back from /usr/bin-backup_asd... pacman -Syu helped, though.
Sometimes, when I'm trying to get any audio software or hardware working with my system, I wonder why I ditched Windows. But every time I work at a windows computer, I remember it again.
Adding /var/log causes systemd-journald to throw errors on the next reboot.
Not sure if anything can be done about this - assuming asd.service is shut down and rsyncs, then moves the directory, while journald is still running.
I don't think it's wise to link the entire directory, plus I am not sure how this would affect an init system such as systemd.
Then /var/log shouldn't be recommended in the comments in the asd.conf file.
Works great otherwise though, very nice.
<Headsmack> ... thanks for point that out. Fixed.
I don't understand how it saves ssd writes when it syncs everything to the ssd every hour?

1) There is no I/O to physical disks when you are read/writing to RAM. So I/O intensive tasks are routed to memory rather than to disks.
2) Not everything gets sync'ed back -- just what has changed since the last sync. For example, if only 0.3 MB of your 100+ MB data changed, then only 0.3 MB gets synced over.

What if something is writing to the fs at the exact time anything-sync-daemon runs? Problems?
@door - I don't think so... the kernel can schedule I/O traffic just fine.
I'm running physical simulation on great variety of parameters. Each step of the billions of the whole simulation has some logging I/O to the disk. Together with the ext4 journaling this was resulting in a low loaded CPU and a massively loaded HDD . I was thinking to move to an SSD, then I thought to move folders to the RAM.
I found this program and now my cpu il 100% loaded, my disk is quiet and simulation is running ~3 times faster!! Well done, graysky!!
Here are my perplexities about it:
* Do I really have to stop and restart the daemon if I want to sync now? Moreover $ rc.d sync asd doesn't work for me.
* Do I really have to enter my root password each time I want to do this?
* Do I really have to stop the daemon, modify the conf file as admin, and restart the daemon if I just want to sync the pwd?
It is a great tool but I think it should be made a little bit more flexible and user friendly (not only admin friendly)
1) You can manually trigger a sync by running `sudo /usr/bin/anything-sync-daemon sync`
1b) Right, there are two tokens for the rc.d: start and stop. I just added a third in version 3.5 for just for you: sync.
2) Learn about sudo.
3) No idea what you're doing here. The password is that of your root user and the script doesn't care what that password is other than sudo clearing it to run. I think you're confused. See #2
4) I don't know how it can be any more user friendly than it already is... this is really a very simplistic shell script.

1,2,3) Let me better explain. I have some long scripts which call a variety of tools to complete the task. At the end of these script it would be nice to place a command: sync_now and this should not require me to enter the sudo pass. That's because I may start one script for each core and go for lunch. At the end of each script the sync should be immediate and automatic. I may run the full script as admin.. but I'm sure we can find a better solution!
4) For instance adding commands:
move_to_ram args
move_from_ram args
or something like this to easily access the WHATTOSYNC variable. Surely tomorrow I wont remember where this variable is defined!
Those are things that I may implement with a frontend script which acts on your configuration file, then stop and start the daemon, but again the problem of the annoying sudo password. Moreover I don't want to stop the daemon if some programs are running on the synced files and I just want to add other files to sync.
I think that I should be able to ask the system to move something to and from ram just as user. Don't you think so? Do you think it's possible?
I hope I've been clearer. Your script is perfect to sync in ram logs, caches and other static stuffs, but a daily use of it syncing now this and now that is a bit prohibitive
Just add permission to execute the rc.d daemon without a password. The syntax is explained in /etc/sudoers via comments. You can likely add a line at the end of your last script that simply calls the rc.d file via sudo and call it good.
This may possibly help
Mr Green
Yes, thanks to both. I studied the details of sudo much time ago and I had forgotten!
Just a couple of unaswered questions:
1) Sync command starts and stops the daemon deleting and recreating all the links? This would be quite unusable because I may be working on some of them.
2) I would like to be able to link (and unlink) files and folders to the ram without restart the daemon (see 1). Is this possible? Will it be in future?
Thank you
2) No expert but it sounds like you need ramdisk set up.
I have tried the other brand of daemon in the past with firefox and ran into some problems with add-ons, does asd support firefox from ram?
Or would it be better to sync cache or thumbnails?

You are mistaken. Look at the rc.d file which simply calls the script's 'sync' function. There is nothing about unlinking nor about stopping/starting.
stat_busy 'Doing a user requested sync'
if [[ -f $DAEMON_FILE ]]; then
/usr/bin/anything-sync-daemon sync
sync() {
touch "$DAEMON_FILE"
# sync to tmpfs and back again
local DIR USER BACKUP LINK
for DIR in "${WHATTOSYNC[@]}"; do
BACKUP="$DIR-backup_asd" # this is the hdd bound backup in case of power failure
if [[ -d "$BACKUP" ]]; then
USER=$(/usr/bin/stat -c %U "$BACKUP")
USER=$(/usr/bin/stat -c %U "$DIR")
# make tmpfs container
if [[ -d "$DIR" ]]; then
[[ -r "$LINK" ]] || su -c "install -dm$PREFIX_PERMISSIONS '$LINK'" $USER
# backup target and link to tmpfs container
if [[ "$(readlink "$DIR")" != "$LINK" ]]; then
mv "$DIR" "$BACKUP"
ln -s "$LINK" "$DIR"
# sync the tmpfs targets to the disc
if [[ -e $LINK/.flagged ]]; then
su -c "rsync -a --delete --exclude .flagged '$LINK/' '$BACKUP/'" $USER
su -c "rsync -a '$BACKUP/' '$LINK/'" $USER
su -c "touch '$LINK/.flagged'" $USER
I was just asking to be sure of the behaviour of this tool.
If I have one file being modified and another finished and to be synced I can call the sync routine without any worries as I understood. Moreover I can add folders in WHATTOSYNC variable and sync them with a sync call without affect the files being modified. If this is true, now I'm definitely happy!
Probably I just got confused by what's written in the wiki:
Using SysVinit (Arch default)
Call the daemon to start, stop, or sync (restart) like any standard Arch daemon:
# rc.d command asd
When I tried sync it was not working so this led me to think that sync needed a manual stop and restart
Last edited by DarioP (2012-09-16 10:31:58)
@DarioP - Ok... I will reword the wiki. Can you verify that the latest version of asd satisfies all of your needs?
Hi everybody.
I used anything-sync-daemon with a SSD drive and, as suggested on this page of the Archwiki, I synced my /var/log directory.
As I read in this thread, that was not a really good idea.
I got errors a couple of days ago about pacman database, but I fixed them. Today my root partition fucked up with errors on superblock: I managed to clone the partition on the HDD and I've been able to boot.
So, I blacklisted asd from /etc/rc.conf, but sometimes (not everytime) at boot I get errors like
Cannot create /var/log/xxx: file or directory doesn't exist
and X can't start cause it respawn to fast.
Luckily I can login from tty2 and solve the problem: to do that I need to start asd, stop it and reboot. Please notice that the daemon was not in /etc/rc.conf (it was not started)!!!
Do you have any idea how can I solve this?
Ps: Thanks a lot for your HUGE work!
Pps: you should also reword the Archwiki page I mentioned before
@thewall - Thanks for the info. The docs and the asd wiki have been edited to include a nice warning. I just edited the SSD page as well totally removing the subsection.
An oversight on my part is why it started without the deamon running; this has been corrected in version 3.6 now in the AUR and on github. Basically, cron would trigger a sync once per hour under the old version. Now, cron is aware of the pid file, and checks to that is present before doing anything.
Please update to v3.6 and let me know if you experience any problems. I'm glad you're savvy enough to keep your ship above the waterline
Last edited by graysky (2012-09-17 23:42:50)
Hey, thanks for your reply.
I updated right now to version 3.6. What should I do? Start and stop the daemon and then reboot?
EDIT: I did it and now I shutdown. Here is 2 AM I'll let you know.
Last edited by thewall (2012-09-18 00:11:07)
No need to reboot at all. Actually, in this case, no need to restart the daemon either. The changes are to the underlying script and crontab for hourly.
Been running asd with systemd for a few days now, on some boots I was dropped to console log in instead of silm, last night system would not power down correctly. Loaded 3.6 see what happens...

How to Use Content Marketing in a Mortgage Business
Content marketing is a great way for your mortgage business to reach potential clients.
In the world of online marketing, content is king.
According to a survey by Roper Public Affairs, 80% of consumers prefer to get information from articles, not ads. Of these, 70% reported that content made them feel closer to the company.
Read on to find out more about how you can use content marketing in the mortgage industry to help your business!
Shows Value to Reader
One of the most important ways to create an effective content marketing campaign is to show value to the reader.
But how can you do this?
Prepare well-written and relevant content. You should select trending topics in your industry and help provide insight and information about this issue.
For example, you can explain how the FHA interest rate is indirectly affected by the Federal Reserve's decision to raise interest rates. The Fed raised the longest interest rate in June 2017, making this a relevant issue for those looking at mortgages.
By doing this, you build your business brand as something that values the reader, who can also be a potential client.
Use Unique Facts for Support
In order to be a trusted source of information in content marketing, you need credibility.
One way to do this is to use unique facts from reliable sources. When you use facts to support your content, it helps you stand out from other writers.
But what source should you use?
Your mortgage business should see information from government websites and famous real estate sources. Using unique facts appeals to the reader while conveying a stronger message.
Inserting Video Content
One way to break the text in content marketing is to combine video.
Statistics show choosing video content is a wise choice now and moving forward. According to a study by Cisco, video content will generate 82% of internet traffic by 2021.
Video content helps bring the written word to life. You can complement your written content with high quality video. By making videos on this topic, you can help readers become more involved.
Content Marketing for Your Business
Content marketing is a great way for your mortgage business to engage clients and potential clients.
Part of a successful content marketing campaign is when you resonate with your readers in a unique way. One way to do this is to provide well-written content on relevant topics.
Look at what's trending in your industry and use unique facts in your written content. This will help the reader to see the value in your work. It also helps build trust and comfort levels. This is important for consumers in the mortgage industry.
There are many options for consumers when choosing a mortgage broker. When you use a powerful content marketing campaign, this can be the difference between someone who chooses your business with another business.
Leave a lasting impression on your readers by putting these things into your content marketing campaign.

http://thewaterpumphouse.com/wp-json/wp/v2/users/2 Are you happy? How do you pursue happiness? I recently received a "forward" whose gist was that the secret of happiness is to depend entirely on God. I sent it to a friend serving a life term in prison who seems, in that locus of despair, sorrow, rage, and fear, to exude equanimity and even a sense of humor about his circumstances, and I asked him if this is his "secret" as well. He responded with a brief commentary on the differences among happiness, contentment and joy.
http://interior-tek.com/47385-buy-l-tryptophan.html Contentment, he said, is an acquired habit of mind and spirit (as St. Paul tells us, contentment is something he learned to have in whatever circumstances he found himself). My friend says God always gives him the grace to endure his challenges and he is gradually learning to be content. Joy is a fruit of the Spirit, and "joy I have in spite of adversity and extremely unpleasant circumstances because the Spirit is in no way limited by those elements."
He goes on: "Happiness is another story entirely. I am not actually convinced that happiness is important, and considering how much of a person's life can be squandered in the pursuit of such an elusive, fleeting sentiment, it seems more worthwhile to me just to forget the whole thing. To my mind, it is better to concentrate on the joy of the Spirit, strive for contentment in the strength of the Lord, and nevermind about happiness."
What do you think?

New York, April 25, 2012--Jordanian journalist Jamal al-Muhtaseb has been detained since Monday on antistate charges after publishing an article alleging misconduct by the Royal Court, according to news reports. Al-Muhtaseb's sister, the author of the article, was also arrested but was released the same day, news reports said.
The State Security Court in Amman, the capital, ordered the 14-day pretrial detention of al-Muhtaseb, the publisher and owner of the news website Gerasa News and editor of the weekly Al-Mir'aa, and charged him with "opposing the ruling system," according to news reports. Sahar al-Muhtaseb, the article's author, was also arrested on Monday and given the same charges, but was released the same day on bail of 5,000 Jordanian dinars (US$7,000), news reports said.
The article, published in Gerasa News but inaccessible now, quoted an unidentified member of parliament saying that a parliamentary committee had received directives from the Royal Court, the office of the monarchy, to not refer a former minister's case to trial, according to news reports. Sahel al-Majali, a former public housing minister, faced corruption accusations over a multibillion-dollar housing scheme that was supposed to provide housing for low-income families, news reports said.
Al-Muhtaseb is being held in a prison in Amman. Jordan's constitution permits the State Security Court, a military tribunal, to try civilians only in cases related to state security, according to local press freedom groups.
"The Jordanian government may not relish journalists investigating its actions, but it has no right to drag them before a military court for doing so," said Robert Mahoney, CPJ's deputy director. "The authorities must immediately release Jamal al-Muhtaseb and drop the charges against both him and his sister."
On Monday evening, at least 50 journalists protested al-Muhtaseb's detention and demanded his release, news reports said. Another protest was staged the next morning in front of the Jordanian parliament building, according to news reports.
Journalists who write critically about the royal family have faced threats in the past, CPJ research shows. In late February, a Jordanian blogger was stabbed and threatened for criticizing the royal family on her blog.

The Sony Ericsson Neo (and QWERTY packing Pro) models didn't get nearly the attention that was afforded to the Xperia Arc and the Xperia Play upon launch. While those other models are more distinct in their offering, the Xperia Neo lands on our review desk as something of A N Other Android device. It packs in some respectable specs, but with Sony Ericsson continuing to expand their line-up of Android handsets, are they now spreading themselves too thin?
Part of the reason that Sony Ericsson have so many phones is probably down to the move from feature phones to Android smartphones. The Xperia Neo is every bit the evolution of the Vivaz, which Sony Ericsson pushed as a video device back in early 2010. The same ethos of "human design" can be found in the Neo, and like the Vivaz, we found it's curved back great for placing down on a table and spinning the phone.
Aside from the opportunity this presents to play spin the bottle, it means it nestles down nicely into the palm of your hand. With the trend towards larger screens, the Xperia Neo feels decidedly compact, easily fitting into smaller hands. It still offers you a 3.7-inch screen in a body that measures 116 x 57 x 13mm, although it isn't the slimmest or most elegant phone around.
It is finished in plastics, so lacks the wow factor of something like the HTC Desire S, which might be a natural rival to the Neo, but it feels solid enough. The glossy plastic finish means that it is prone to fingerprints. Sony Ericsson have chosen to cover the micro HDMI and Mini-USB ports on the top of the device with little flaps. It helps keep them free from debris, but the USB cover soon becomes irritating each time you want to plug it in to charge. We managed to get through most days on a single charge, which is better than some phones.
Otherwise you have the common arrangement of three hard buttons beneath the screen offering back, home and menu options, whilst the remainder of the hard controls run down the right-hand side of the phone, in this case giving you the standby button, volume and a dedicated camera key.
What's inside?
In terms of positioning, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo rolls out with a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8255 chipset and 512MB RAM, meaning this is a relatively powerful device, sitting just under the latest single and dual core devices we've seen this year. It's the same configuration as the Xperia Arc, so the experience is comparable.
That means that in use the Xperia Neo is slick and fast in its handling of the Android 2.3.3 (at the time of writing), although as with other Sony Ericsson devices, it has been heavily skinned, so much of the Android look and feel has been tinkered with. You also don't quite get the snap that the dual core devices now offer, however a touch of lag opening apps is acceptable as the experience seems stable enough throughout.
In the grand scheme of things, Sony Ericsson's customisation sits somewhere between HTC and Samsung. Superficially Sony Ericsson tinker with just about everything, but it isn't as encompassing, or accomplished, as HTC Sense. At the same time, it goes further than Samsung's TouchWiz interface which is a relatively light touch, and as a result it sits in a sort of user interface wilderness, with many of the changes seemingly made to continue the look and feel found in Sony Ericsson's phones of old. It doesn't always feel as sophisticated as some rivals, but it works well enough, with the odd nice feature, like the widget overview.
In terms of calling, we had no problem with the Xperia Neo: calls came across loud and clear and the external speaker offers up plenty of volume. Storage comes in on the light side, with the reported 1GB of internal memory mostly used up, offering you 320MB spare. The microSD card slot will support cards up to 32GB, pretty much essential if you plan to carry any media around with you.
Facebook inside your Xperia
Sony Ericsson recently made a point of highlighting the integration of Facebook into their Xperia devices. On one plane this adds functionality to their social network aggregating Timescape app that we've been calling for from its first inception on the Xperia X10. On another plane, it adds a range of functions that make Facebook more deeply integrated.
Overall we like the new additions in this area, including your Facebook albums slotting into the Gallery, lock screen Facebook notifications, the ability to Like music or photos and more Facebook information in your contacts. In a way it's as much a reaction to the deeper Facebook integration of the INQ Cloud Touch or HTC Salsa as anything else.
One new and unique app is a Media Discovery app, which scours Facebook for "media" shared by your friends. It's an interesting time-filler, giving you neat links to the sharing source for that media. In our case we found that everything had come from Spotify or YouTube, with the respective app opening to play (Spotify you'd have to install and have a subscription for).
If Facebook is your thing and you like the tiles approach that Timescape offers, then things are better now. But if you're a Twitter user then you still have a gaping black hole: although Timescape will feed you Twitter updates in tiles, when you press to read the whole of the update, it takes you through to the Twitter mobile site. We'll bet our shirts that Sony Ericsson soon announces that Twitter is living inside your Xperia too.
A quick dive into the Android Market, which will supply you with an increasingly competitive run of apps, and you'll find that Sony Ericsson have some of their own available. One is the LinkedIn integration for Timescape, adding an extra string to its bow. Another worth looking at is their Life Contacts beta, which creates a neat people widget around common contacts.
Media madness
Sony haven't had a great time of things recently following the high-profile hacks on their PlayStation Network. One of the affected services was their music service Qriocity, a link for which can be found in the menu, to prompt you to download the app. It isn't unique to Sony Ericsson as you can download it on other Android devices too.
Sony Ericsson's Music player is reasonable but feels as though it misses out on the more important features. It offers you a content search (via the infinity button, also found elsewhere in the phone), which will let you find related content online, essentially on YouTube. However, you don't get lockscreen controls for music, or controls from the notification bar, surprising from a company that made such great Walkman phones in the past.
Videos are served up in the Gallery and Facebook videos are pulled down if you have any. Ironically, the phone won't play Facebook videos out of the box, which feels like something of an oversight. Video format support isn't that wide either, struggling to tackle many of our regular test videos. It had no problem with common SD MPEG4 files, but the likes of DivX aren't catered for from the off.
There is a Media Server app which offers to share your content, but there is no streaming option, so you can't collect content you might have sitting on a PC or home server. We easily stepped round this using Skifta, but it's a feature we'd expect Sony Ericsson to build in: after all, HTC, Samsung and LG all do, and this phone is powerful enough to handle it.
The display sees the Mobile Bravia Engine option which claims to enhance performance. In our tests we could see little real difference, but one thing we did notice was that the Neo misses out on auto brightness option common on Android phones and a power-saving favourite.
But that's not the biggest problem we have with the display. As mentioned it is 3.7-inches, with a resolution of 854 x 480, giving it a 16:9 aspect and a pixel density of 264ppi. This is all great, but the display does look a little yellow to our eyes, not giving you the brilliant white clarity you'll find elsewhere. When displaying whites the pixel lines are visible so the final effect isn't as striking as we'd want it to be.
The screen doesn't give you as much space for browsing the Internet, but it's a respectable enough browser overall. The keyboard in portrait feels a little cramped and the run of alternative characters accessed through a long press of each key are a little too exotic: we can't see many native English users needing many of these accented key options. A third party keyboard, such as SwiftKey, will give you a much more convenient solution.
Caught on film
Having mentioned the Vivaz earlier - one of the first mobile phones to offer 720p video capture - we're expecting a lot from the Xperia Neo when it comes to the cameras. Around the back there is an 8-megapixel camera with a single LED "flash" and on the front there is the typical camera offering VGA video from a fixed focus unit.
Sony Ericsson have completely restyled the camera interface and added a couple of nice features into the mix. There are touch controls on the screen for the main functions (along with the dedicated button on top) although the majority of options are accessed via the menu button. These options cover major settings, but Sony Ericsson haven't stepped out and added any fun features, which this camera is crying out for.
But what you do get is good. The Exmor R sensor that Sony Ericsson headline is capable of capturing some cracking daylight shots. Low light shooting is marred by noise as you'd expect and the flash doesn't effectively give you any range in low light. With autofocus and auto scene selection it will do everything for you, but occasionally we found that the scene selection makes an odd choice, resulting in a photo that doesn't quite look authentic.
But outside of that, detail is good and it is capable of offering some great colours. There is a smile shot option - great for kids - and a touch focusing option which helps get things just so when it comes to composition.
Video maxes out at 1280 x 720 pixel at 30fps and is pretty good quality too. It won't match your camcorder, but we found the results look good enough when played back through that HDMI port (which mirrors the phone on the connected screen). Focusing in-video is continuous but is slow, which has both pros and cons - someone walking in front of the camera won't shift the focus, but point it at something new and it takes a while to sharpen up again.
Sony Ericsson struggled with Android devices in 2010, but their 2011 efforts look more promising. But we step away from the Xperia Neo thinking that things have moved on a little too fast. We like the Xperia Arc a lot, but it won't compete with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S II or the HTC Sensation at the top of the pile. We like the Xperia Neo, but it doesn't feel as sophisticated as the HTC Desire S or, more worryingly, phones like last year's original Samsung Galaxy S.
It's a powerful enough handset, slotting somewhere into the upper mid range and we'd imagine that it will serve many well, but given the huge number of phones on offer, you have to be drawn to the features it offers: HDMI output, an up-to-date version of Android, a capable camera and reasonable battery life.
But we'd choose the larger Xperia Arc every time when opting for a Sony Ericsson handset. The larger, better, screen makes it a better browsing device, and the design is something to be admired. That leaves the Xperia Neo somewhere in the wilderness. It isn't a bad phone, but it doesn't scream out to us either.

Dreaming about that great idea won't take the world by storm. At River City Labs it may just materialise. A room full of like minded people is an environment infectious with enthusiasm. Not to mention the excellent facilities. The friendly staff complete the package for the incubator of any tech business startup. I recommend you to come and present your ideas and have a look around.Don McGuinness
Thank you River City Labs for an AMAZING Startup Weekend Brisbane! Startup Weekend Brisbane was an unforgettable experience. Everyday we worked 'til the lights went off, and they were still around for our support. For anyone with dreams of starting up, hands down River City Labs is the place to jump start that dream to reality.Hans Barroga, Founder at Movie Ape
River City Labs is inarguably one of the points of gravity for the startup community in Queensland. They also hold their own on the national stage through not only the very real community that revolves around their bricks'n'mortar headquarters, but the endless advocacy and support of the wider tech community. This is evident in the abundance of events that are supported by, hosted at, or related to their commitment to building the capacity of the local community.David Ryan, Founder at Tech Tidal
Thanks for being such a great host on the weekend for our Beginner Coder Weekend Workshop. River City Labs is a perfect space for the workshops and your hospitality made it so easy. The students loved the workshop and I'm looking forward to coming back soon and teaching more people to code. If you're looking for a co-working space in Brisbane, River City Labs is the place to go.Pete Argent, Founder at Coder Factory
Elliot Smith, Co-Founder & CEO of Maxwell MRI
I've been at RCL for 4 years, through two startups, one accelerator program and three rounds of funding. Without a doubt RCL is the heart of the Brisbane startup scene and has shaped it into what it is today.

Runway, your way: How to wear the culotte trend
Wonder how to work catwalk cool into your own closet? Here's how to translate the trends for real life.
Not exactly pants, and not quite shorts, culottes are back in fashion, and, you know what? We couldn't be happier. The wide-legged, cropped take on the trouser is perfect for those of us who shy from showing too much thigh, but are sick of wearing jeans in summer.
Plus, they're super versatile: Wear them to the office with pumps, or to the farmer's market with flats, and look for fabrics that range from denim to silk.
Ready to join us on the culotte bandwagon? Here are nine styles we're loving now.
THE RUNWAY: Alexander Wang spring 2014
Culottes were cropped just below the knee during Wang's runway collection, and paired with chunky heels and a mesh see-through crop top for a downtown sporty vibe. (Ladies, be sure to add a bra if you're trying this at home.)
Update your denim: 'Tis the season of the jorts! Well, sort of. Because jean shorts are cool when they come in a culotte silhouette. Like 'em short? No problem. Knee-length? Got those, too. Extra long? You bet. Whatever your body shape or style preference, there's a pair for you – and they look fab with both sneakers and heels. Score!
Madewell culotte jeans, $148, madewell.com; Mocktails at My Place culotte jeans, $54.99, modcloth.com; See by Chloe chambray culottes, $171.49, asos.com
Play with prints: A great patterned pant is all the range, and a culotte in a fun floral, pretty plaid or quirky design will have you looking fashion-forward, too. Just keep your top and your accessories simple – black or white will work just fine.
Forever 21 clamshell-print culottes, $17.80, forever21.com; Topshop floral-print culottes, $80, topshop.com; Asos plaid check culottes, $66.69, asos.com
Stick with the classics: Keep things simple – and chic – with culottes in basic black, khaki or a beautiful shade of blue. Actually, you might need all three; we have a feeling you'll be wearing these often.
Cartonnier cropped Riva wide-legs, $98, anthropologie.com; FP ONE high-waisted pintuck culottes, $98, freepeople.com; Forever 21 classic pleated culottes, $24.80, forever21.com

Wireframing with Balsamiq Mockups
Thanks to Pras for the pointer to Balsamiq's Mockups application. I was sketching wireframes quickly within minutes of finding the product.
I believe in low-fidelity sketching at the wireframe stage. Balsamiq makes it easy with its large library of UI control stencils, its auto-complete driven keybroad stencil selection, on-screen snap-to alignment guides, a powerful inspector for precise control when rarely needed, and, more of all, a simplicity that makes it easy to start sketching or tweaking your mockup immediately.
The output is Balsamiq files, PGN or flattened image files, and XML. Because it exports XML it's possible to use Balsamiq as a programmatic ingredient for downstream engineering systems and tools (such as partially automating the creation of detailed functional specifications, or using it as source for the automated building on the actual interface.
There is a rumor that they'll be announcing clickable output files shortly, which might allow for the fast creation of clickable wireframes for usability testing (and other) needs.
I haven't noticed, but it should be possible to customize what's in the included UI Widget Library to a) take on a different visual skin; b) reflect new or fewer interface widget options.
All and all, I'm pretty intrigued. It seems there's a market for consumer-friendly ways to design interfaces. Once more people catch on how to much fun we're having, they'll want a shot at designing and realizing all the apps they're dreaming up, too!
I'd love to hear what you think of this approach. Have you tried it? Does it work for your teams"

Students throughout the Yellville-Summit School District recently held a weeklong change drive in an effort to raise money to reduce hunger in North Central Arkansas.
Students spent the week collecting spare change from family members, neighbors and the community, as part of a friendly competition to see which grades in K-6th and 7th-12th could collect the most change. The first grade class won the competition with a total of $926.43 for K-6th grades and the 12thgrade class won with a total of $377.19 for 7th-12th grades.
Students in the lower and upper school grades who collected the most change receive an afternoon at the City Park and lunch provided by Arvest Bank.
The drive was organized and facilitated by the Yellville-Summit High School Interact Club. The monetary donations from the students will provide 21,750 meals to benefit the district's Food for Thought Backpack Program. Through backpack programs, children who face food insecurity are sent home with backpacks full of snacks on weekends and holidays, times when they don't have access to school meal programs.
"Our students love serving others and being part of something that benefits their classmates," said Liz Leatherman, elementary school counselor and program coordinator for the Yellville-Summit Food for Thought Backpack Program. "These students work hard to make the drive a success and having some friendly competition really makes it fun."
The donation drive is one of many events taking place in North Central Arkansas in support of Arvest Bank's annual 1 Million Meals campaign, an initiative that encourages communities to collect food and monetary donations for local hunger relief organizations and programs. Local donations made to the 1 Million Meals campaign will benefit the Food Bank of North Central Arkansas.
North Central Arkansas residents who would like to participate in Arvest Bank's 1 Million Meals campaign can drop off nonperishable food items or make monetary donations at any Arvest Bank location, or by calling (866) 952-9523. Arvest credit card customers also can donate Arvest Flex Rewards™ points by visiting arvestflexrewards.com and clicking on the 1 Million Meals banner, and customers who use the Arvest Go mobile banking app may contribute through the app as well.

It is verry difficult to change human mentality
What the chinese elderly mother did is abominable and hard to accept,but if we want to be objective we must ask ourselves why she did it?
Maybe she did it because she is old and undereducated,or maybe she did it,because she is scared,old,poor and helpless.So being the case,maybe she was afraid that she can't restrain him and was afraid of being killed or badly injurred by her son?
Maybe her neighbours and relatives didn't respect and help her enough in taking care of him.
Maybe she was living in an isolated mountain region,and the social assistance services couldn't get to her,or the chinese disability legislation is still inadequate to solve such cases.Simply signing and ratiffing the Convention,doesn't change human mentalities and nature over night.
I'm from Romania,we are a member state of the UE. our country is smaller than China,we have a legislation in the field of disability which is still not correctly applied,and even a few months ago,we could see three such cases on TV. if you want to know more about the situation of the disabled people from Romania you should visit on facebook the cause "Respect the Dignity of the Disabled People from Romania".

WAKEFIELD — On Sunday, April 21, at 2 p.m., the Wakefield Opera House Performing Arts Committee will host a twin billing performance of Dusty and Friends, a gospel and country music group, and the band Drowned Valley, an old time bluegrass and gospel group.
Dusty and Friends include Dusty Wilbur (guitar), Carolyn Hutton (guitar and mandolin), Candy Whalen (guitar), Hal Halstead (string bass), and Paul Mangion (drums).
The musicians of the Drowned Valley are Mark Wiley (banjo), Carolyn Hutton (voice and mandolin), John "Hal" Halstead (electric and string bass), and Paul Mangion (clawhammer banjo).
While Mark Wiley's first exposure to the banjo was a scene from the movie Deliverance, it took the generous loan of a college roommate's banjo for him to fall in love. Mark has been tormenting friends and family since, and has made it his life's work to elevate the banjo to respectable status. Mark has an extensive resume as an amateur actor and singer, but he is relatively new to performing bluegrass and gospel. A chance introduction to Carolyn at church led to the formation of Silver and Central, Mark and Carolyn's previous band and they were overjoyed to welcome Paul and Hal to the mix to form Drowned Valley.
Carolyn Hutton grew up in North Carolina in an old time gospel tradition, singing with her family at little country churches and tent revivals. She married, moved to this area in 1988 and raised four children. A chance encounter with Mac McHale and the Old Time Radio Gang in 2003 inspired her to go back to her roots. She began singing bluegrass at church in a band called Silver and Central and attending a monthly jam in Rollinsford, hosted by Mark. She played mandolin in a four woman band called Bliss, until forming a partnership with Mac McHale in an old time country and gospel duet, Taylor's Grove. They traveled throughout New England playing old time country shows until his death late in 2012.
John "Hal" Halstead started out playing guitar in country rock bands in the 1970s, but switched to electric and string bass to play with the bluegrass band Billings Gap 1979-81. From 1981-84 he played with Prairie Chicken, one of the few bluegrass bands in North Dakota, then with old time bands like the Mountain Boomers and Brush Mountain Sand Sifters in Virginia from 1984-89. After a 15 year hiatus from playing music, it's great to be getting out again on a regular bass-is.
New England born and raised, Paul Mangion first heard the music of the southern mountains as a student in 1964. It stuck with him and he finally took up clawhammer banjo in 1973. After moving to the area, he helped found The Last Chance String Band, which lasted several notable years. In 1988, he started to play percussion in a zydeco band, The Crawdad Wranglers, and at many of the local Iris sessions. After retirement, he returned to his first love, and one night wandered into the Rollinsford Jam, where he met Mark and Carolyn. When not playing music, he can be found sitting on the deck staring into the middle distance.
Tickets are $5 at the door. Tickets are also available locally from Ed Morrison, (603) 522-0126, Angie Casperonis at the Wakefield Town Hall Tax Office, Lovell Lake Food Center, Muddy Paws, The Personal Cut, Wakefield Massage Therapy – all in Sanbornville; Sharper Image, and Woodman's Corner Barber Shop in East Wakefield; and The Folk Cellar in Wolfeboro.

Hey everyone! Are you still on a Christmas sugar high? I had to send a huge bag of chocolates/goodies to work with Tom just to get it out of the house. But there is still too much of it around. And this doesn't include the two pies and 15 or so cupcakes in the fridge.
But I'm not completely innocent - I made chocolate treats to give out to our friends and family too. This is hot chocolate - on a stick! You just need to stir one into a cup of hot water or milk until it melts and you're done. You can even eat them as they are if you're in need of a chocolate fix!
It's a pretty simple recipe that just requires some patience.
You'll need:
Chocolate for melting - discs or bars
Unsweetened cocoa
Icing (confectioner's) sugar
Molds - icecube trays, popsicle trays, - get inventive!
Coffee stirsticks or popsicle sticks
You'll also need a place to put the sticks while the dip is hardening. We cut slits into some cardboard and set them up on top of plastic containers.
You'll start by setting up a double boiler on the stove. We used a pot filled with an inch or two of water, a glass bowl to hold the chocolate, and a Staybowlizer between to keep the bowl in place. The Staybowlizer is the best invention ever. No need for extra pots that are rarely used.
You can use whatever chocolate you like - we bought some chocolate melts from the local bulk store in Belgian milk chocolate. We also bought candy melts in different colours, and some crushed candy canes for decorating.
Break the chocolate up and melt it slowly in the bowl. With the double boiler you don't really have to worry about it burning or melting too quickly. I was so nervous the first time because I read all about getting it too hot, or not letting any liquid touch it, but as I went along (4 batches? 5 batches? There were some errors) I got more relaxed.
Once the chocolate is melted start adding your powdered cocoa and icing sugar, a bit at a time, until it is blended well. My measurements weren't exact, maybe 3 tablespoons of each for every 4 (pre-melted) cups of chocolate. You don't want to add too much as this will make the mixture too stiff and it won't pour into the mold.
Spoon the mixture into your mold, filling them about 3/4 of the way. Once full, tap the mold against the counter a couple of times to remove any air bubbles. Slowly insert your sticks into each section making sure they don't go all the way to the bottom. We found these cool ice cube trays that were long and skinny - perfect for a mug. (These ones are also fun if you want to do cubes instead.)
Put your mold in the fridge and let it cool for 2 or 3 hours. The chocolate blocks should pop out fairly easily when you pull on the sticks. We were lucky in that the bottom of our ice cube tray popped off and we could push the chocolate out from the bottom.
You can leave the sticks the way they are and they're ready to use, or you can decorate them to make them a little more fun.
To decorate:
Heat some candy melts in the double boiler the same way you did the chocolate. We used white, green, and dark brown melts - each in a separate dish. I think the white ones turned out the nicest. Use a pastry brush to quickly brush the melted candy onto each stick and then sprinkle the crushed candy cane all over it. You probably think it would be easier to dip them, but the chocolate melts too quickly and you'll end up with a funky looking finished product.
I used foil takeout containers from the dollar store to package them up. Inside I layered green and red tulle, and then wax paper to protect the chocolate.
I glued solid green wrapping paper to the lid of the container to fancy it up, and then wrapped it with raffia and a burlap ribbon bow.
I also included instructions inside so that people would know what to do with the sticks.
How about that? Once I got the hang of it there wasn't much to it and the result was so, so pretty. I hope everyone who received a box loved them as much as I loved making them.
I'm linking up here this week!

PlatingWe plate 1.5 microns onto our jewellery to ensure long lasting wear. To be considered "gold-plated" by law, base metals must be plated at minimum 1.0 microns. 1.5 microns is considered thick plating and at 2.0 would be considered vermeil. (Vermeil is a term used to describe gold plated sterling silver which we do not use). A plating thickness of 1.5 microns enables affordable retail pricing while also ensuring extended wear. To keep the gold plating on your jewellery last as long as possible, we highly recommend following our care instructions found here.

Over the last few months I have found myself wondering where exactly I am going in the world of the Internet. I love my blog, love helping people, love writing new and interesting posts, articles, reports and ebooks. But I have to ask myself 'What does this all add up to?'
A couple of years ago I enrolled on David Walker's Blogging Boss course. Much of my style on this blog comes from interesting tips and facts I learned from David's course.
More recently I bumped into David online again when I was asked to beta test his latest product Inbox Rockstar. I had long since realised that email marketing is an essential part of Internet Marketing but it is something I had never got quite right. David's Inbox Rockstar gives 30 'fill in the blanks' email templates every month, so the job is done for me!
From this came the opportunity to get involved in another course of David's, this time focusing on Internet Marketing and how to make a regular income from your efforts. As my previous results have been limited I decided to sign up for the course and have just completed module 2.
So far so good, and I can honestly say it is a fresh look at a tired old subject. I personally will be completing the whole course (many people who sign up for things do not complete them at all!) and I will give you all my progress reports here so you can follow my new journey that will inspire renewed focus and a better direction.
If you would like to know more about David and what he offers you can visit him by clicking this link here. It really is worth a look, at the very least!

A twoway textual entailment (TE) recognition system that uses semantic features has been described in this paper. We have used the Universal Networking Language (UNL) to identify the semantic features. UNL has all the components of a natural language. The development of a UNL based textual entailment system that compares the UNL relations in both the text and the hypothesis has been reported. The semantic TE system has been developed using the RTE3 test annotated set as a development set (includes 800 texthypothesis pairs). Evaluation scores obtained on the RTE4 test set (includes 1000 texthypothesis pairs) show 55.89% precision and 65.40% recall for YES decisions and 66.50% precision and 55.20% recall for NO decisions and overall 60.3% precision and 60.3% recall.
Key words: Textual Entailment, Universal Networking Language (UNL), RTE3 Test Annotated Data, RTE4 Test Data
