SMART-DEMO with TEKNOS
On 29 February 2012, SMART-DEMO workshop focused on the application by Graco sprayers of high-quality coatings on wooden surfaces.
HVLP 9.5 – pneumatic sprayer, HVLP
FinishPro™ 395 – combined sprayer, air-assisted
EasyMax™ Fine Finish – hand-held airless sprayer
Accessories: nozzles, filters
Materials: by Teknos
Visitors from Teknos provided three widely used and effective materials for wooden surfaces:
- A Translucent material with a life span of up to 7 years – one of most cost-effective and widely-used coatings in Europe. It includes the preservative Teknol Aqua 1410 and paint Teknol 188.
- An Opaque material with a life span of up to 15 years – includes primer Teknol 1881 or Teknol 2881 and paint NORDICA EKO 3330.
- A Translucent material with a life span of up to 15 years – includes preservative Teknol Aqua 1410, primer Aqua Primer 2900-02 and varnish AquaTop 2920-04.
The participants of the workshop who had never used Graco equipment before, quickly remarked that the sprayers were well-suited for such materials. High-productivity of the sprayers enables to perform a large amount of work and keep good quality, which is much higher than manual coating. Graco sprayers make an almost ideal coating of required thickness. Besides, after having tried the Graco machines, the participants noted that these are much easier to use than pneumatic machines. Graco sprayers have a design that enables the operator to hold only a light-weight spray gun, which requires minimum effort, prevents from getting tired, and makes operation easy. When using pneumatic sprayers it is not as comfortable, since the tank with material is rather heavy for the operator to hold.
During the demonstration, the engineers of Smartec's Technical Center drew special attention to combined sprayers, such as FinishPro. Recently, this technology has become wide spread in wood-processing, furniture industries and others. It has the following advantages over pneumatic spraying:
- Less material waste thanks to less spraying, which makes the operation conditions healthier;
- Less extraction ventilation required, since it needs to extract only solvent vapor and some air.
Compared to airless technology, the combined air-assisted sprayer provides a higher quality of coating – not lower than Class 3 in compliance with GOST 9.032–74. Besides, it is possible to adjust the pressure and slightly increase or decrease material consumption as well as adjust spray pattern without changing the nozzle.
As always during demonstration, the Smartec Engineers made detailed comments and recommendations on operation and maintenance of the demonstrated Graco sprayers. At the end of the workshop, the SMARTEC and TEKNOS experts recommended the following:
- HVLP – to be used for small and medium volumes of work, for fine-finish and decorating jobs.
- FinishPro – for large amounts of work.
- EasyMax - used for refurbishment (especially on-site), when the amount of work is very small, and it is a priority to have a portable and easy-to-transport sprayer that doesn't need connection to power.
The visitors were pleased to test the sprayers on wooden surfaces, and they could evaluate the efficiency of the machines in practice. After the demonstration, the participants took home as trophies the wooden samples they had coated themselves.

This tribal skull design is a revamped drawing that was originally submitted by Medxx. She did an awesome job recreating a reference picture she found online but I thought I would draw something better that you can all enjoy with a cutting edge. When draw skulls in a tribal art pattern you have to make sure that you create something that is going to be original, and captivating. Unfortunately the image that medxx used as a reference wasn't too captivating, it was sort of plain and tribal lines weren't drawn in a unique manner. As for this tribal skull I so believe that you will enjoy learning how to make an awesome piece of art that would not only look good on paper, but it would also make a killer tattoo as well. I have submitted plenty of skull designs on Dragoart, but I do have to say that this drawing is one of my favorite. If you love drawing skulls with tribal markings, than you will really have a blast with this lesson. Enjoy everyone and be sure to check out more of the skull art and tutorials posted on the site.

I'll have to go back and look but EVERYONE I've dealt with on Kifaru has been a pleasure to deal with. Ones that come to mind include:
David Walter
Huntsman22 (okay I haven't actually bought from him but I do like busting his chops when he is selling something)
As far as I'm concerned doing business on this board is stress free for the most part owing to the character of the participants. If I sell something here, it's usually in the mail before payment arrives. I've yet to have someone give me a problem.
I recently tried to purchase a relatively low ticket item on another outdoor related board and went through all sorts of crap with someone there who was reluctant to sell to me because of my "lack of feedback". Not sure what the risk was to him as I was sending a money order before he was sending the item to me but needless to say I did not pass the background check and even managed to get on the guy's ignore list through the apparently inappropriate use of humor. The point of this story is that I've never been made to feel like a potential criminal here and hopefully have never made anyone else feel that way. Simply put, this is a good place to be and I think that in general one can do business here without worry.

Daily Telegraph photographer Geoff Pugh travelled to the tiny harbour town of Minkamen, South Sudan, to witness refugees fleeing from the ongoing tribal war. After only 31 days of fighting one person in every 20 is a refugee within or outside the country. Some 400,000 are "internally displaced"; another 75,000 are in camps in neighbouring states.

The ski racing season has come to an end for me. I get so caught up in the excitement of racing and traveling that I am always a little bit confused when I look at the calendar and it is empty for the next three months.
I had a good year. I ended up ranked 14th in the World Cup downhill standings. I had a lot of fun and I think that I learned a few things about myself, and about my sport, that are going to help me get better next season.
Unfortunately I had to skip the last race of the season, the U.S. Championships at my home ski area, Squaw Valley, Calif. I could not race because of a small knee injury that required a few weeks of rest, but I was at Squaw for the races and it reminded me of all that is good about our sport.
The weather in Squaw was beautiful apart from a little snow/rain squall that postponed the first day of racing. For the remainder of the events, it was lovely California days. The Tahoe and Truckee locals came out to soak up the sun and enjoy some racing action. Several hundred people crowded the finish area and the sides of the racecourse each day. It made me proud to be a Tahoe local and to see the appreciation these people have for the racers. Being a spectator gave me a new perspective of the events and I was nervous for my friends who were chucking themselves down the hill in hopes of a national title.
The best racers in the country over 15 years of age get invited to compete at the U.S. nationals. The youngsters get to share the starting gate with the World Cup stars that they idolize. It is a place for racers to make a name for themselves and this year Squaw Valley put on a great event for them to showcase their talents. Tommy Johnston (aka "Cowboy"), the U.S. Ski Team's hill preparation guru, was in town for a week prior to the events making sure that the slope was hard and ready for racing. Live music was playing on a big stage near the finish line every afternoon and the village was abuzz with ski stars of past and present.
Local companies Big Truck Hats and Arcade Belts outfitted all of the competitors with gear and Susan at Wildflour Bakery was giving out free cookies to anybody who was accompanied by a U.S. Ski Team athlete.
The races were all close battles, aside from the men's slalom, which Ted Ligety pretty much ran away with. Overall it was a really fun few days of racing. Everybody left with a smile and talk of what the summer will bring.
There are still more adventures this spring. I will be going north to Alaska to defend my title at the Arctic Man Ski and Snow-Go Classic. Also, the spring is always a time for ski racing gossip, with equipment switches and coaching changes. We will see what this year holds.

'White House Down' Amounts to a 'Cosmic Shrug'
WSJ film critic Joe Morgenstern discusses Roland Emmerich's new movie "White House Down," which he says put him in a "what-am-I-doing-with-my-life mood." The only tiny redemption, he says, is the performance of Channing Tatum.

The Schools' Sinister War on Guns by Selwyn Duke, Posted June 8, 2013
Call it living in Upside-down Land or the realization of the Bible's prediction of a time when bad will be called good and good, bad, but once again innocent schoolchildren have been persecuted for, well, just being children. This time the offender was Chase Lake Elementary School (CLES) in Edmonds, WA, where some kids were suspended for using Nerf guns on school grounds. And it's an all-too-common story. A child will be punished for drawing a gun, shaping his fingers as one and saying "bang!" merely talking about guns or some other innocuous action. And recently there was a case of a five-year-old boy who brought a cap gun to school to show a friend and then was interrogated for two hours until he wet his pants. It's all very bizarre and very twisted.
In the Edmonds case, the children were told that they could bring the toys to school, but I'm not interested in individual details but deeper matters. And make no mistake, something deeper is afoot here.
To introduce this, let's start with another common thread in these cases: the reaction of the persecuted children's parents. While they're always upset about the relatively draconian punishment visited upon their kids, their comments often reflect those of Edmonds mother Stacey Leidholm, who addressed her son's suspension and marred permanent record and said "I do understand that they definitely need consequences, but not that harsh of a consequence."
Let's stop right there. Why do they "need consequences"? This isn't a matter of simply having to respect the rules even if you disagree with them, since "with toy or facsimile guns, discipline is handed out at the discretion of the principal [at CLES]," writes KomoNews.com. Moreover, consequences imply a transgression, but what's wrong with playing with toy guns? It's not as if these brightly colored toys could be mistaken for real guns, and playing with them is certainly less likely to cause injury than is playing baseball or most any other sport. So what danger is posed by the possession of toy guns on school grounds?
Before I get to that, a bit of history. Not that long ago it was common for boys to bring guns to school, as they might have target shooting afterwards; this was even the case in New York City in the 1940s and '50s, where kids would often ride the subways with their guns. And while this no longer occurred when I attended school in the Bronx in the '70s, no school official even batted an eye at our bringing toy guns to school. That was just what little boys did. Clearly, something has changed in society—and it isn't the availability of guns or little boys' desire to play with them.
The obvious answer here is that the last two decades' school shootings and our civilization's general moral decline have changed the equation. But while this would explain the desire to keep students with real firearms off school grounds, there is no logical reason to apply this to toy guns. Saying otherwise is like claiming that because you wouldn't trust an 11-year-old to drive the family car to school, you won't let him bring toy cars with him, either; or that he won't be allowed to possess toy airplanes because he isn't ready to pilot a 747 for Delta. The same applies to the argument that bringing toy guns to school makes the leap to bringing real ones that much shorter; it's as nonsensical as saying that junior is more likely to steal the family sedan if you let him play with Matchbox cars.
Of course, there is the paranoia explanation: the school shootings have made people so fearful that anything smacking of firearms is reflexively rejected. And I'm sure this is a factor—but I'm also sure there's more to it. What is it?
Many have posited the theory that the goal here is to raise generations amenable to strict gun control by instilling the young with negative attitudes toward firearms. And how better to do this than with swift and sure punishment for anything that evidences even the thought of a gun? Doodle a firearm, point your fingers like one—anything at all—and, bang!, you suffer for your wrong thinking. Think doubleplusgood thoughts, little boy, about flowers and kittens and rainbows and what gender you want to be. And should a child be a tad recalcitrant, nothing creates negative associations with firearms like a two-hour, pants-wetting interrogation at the age of five.
(By the way, it's funny how leftists who would outlaw a 30-second spanking will then commit horrendous psychological and emotional child abuse. Hey, nothing convinces a situational-values libtard of the value of punishment like a person in need of reeducation.)
To buttress this theory, please consider this 1990s video of our beloved attorney general, Eric Withholder. He outlines a plan for combating violence and says:
What we need to do is change the way people think about guns—especially young people—and make it something that's not cool; that it's not acceptable, it's not hip to carry a gun anymore, in the way that we've changed out attitudes about cigarettes. ...Over time we changed the way people thought about smoking, so now we have people who cower outside of buildings and kind of smoke in private and don't want to admit it. And that's what I think we need to do with guns. ...I've asked that the creative community in Washington… devote [their] talent in a more constructive way, so we can get at the minds of these young people. .... People who have credibility with young people should be on the television, on the radio…and telling these youngsters that it's wrong to carry a gun.... I've also asked the school board to make a part of every day some kind of anti-violence, anti-gun message; every day, every school at every level. One thing that I think is clear with young people, and with adults as well, is that we have to be repetitive about this…. We need to do this every day of the week and just really brainwash people into thinking about guns in a vastly different way [emphasis added].
Now, I don't imply this is a grand conspiracy. It doesn't have to be when you have millions of like-minded people who, being fellow travelers, all act in similar ways quite instinctively. Sure, there are puppet masters in the vanguard of these movements who create policy (like the zero-tolerance nonsense) and who purposely effect Machiavellian designs, but they are mere catalysts. Of course, there are many others—teachers and administrators (mostly women)—who instinctively dislike guns, or fear them, and for this reason are inclined to carry out these policies and punish a wrong-thinking child harshly. But theirs is more an emotional reaction, as opposed to the colder, more insidious, Luciferian motives of the world's Withholders.
But then there are millions of other sheeple, caught in the Matrix, who simply enforce these rules because they exist. As to this, I called CLES and asked someone in community relations the following: "How does the possession of toy guns on school grounds pose a threat?" After giving me a non-answer and then my having to rephrase the question once or twice, the school official seemed genuinely flummoxed and said that she would have to consult the literature and get back to me. An unthinking drone.
But the question is, are the rest of us going to be sheeple as well? If not, there are things we can and should do to counter the schools' war on guns and tradition. First, parents should organize, pick up their children from an offending school with toy guns in hand, and play a visible shoot-'em-up game on school grounds. I'm serious. It's called desensitization. Moreover, it tells the children in the strongest way possible that there is nothing wrong with toy-gun play. And if the schools are trying to condition your kids the wrong way, why not condition them the right way?
Then there is the stick. The reason insanity keeps occurring at schools and elsewhere is that leftists are never held accountable. But here we must take a leaf out of their book. When someone transgresses against their politically correct code—think Jimmy "the Greek" Snyder, Don Imus, or James Watson here—an apology won't suffice.
The left wants the person destroyed.
So follow suit. Don't be like a certain popular cable-news host who is wont to say "I don't want to see ____ (the tyrant du jour) lose his job." Make sure a school official who commits leftist abuse upon a child never works again. Go for the jugular, for the kill shot; give no quarter. Go Roman. It's only when thousands of the thought police's decaying corpses of careers are lining the Apian Way that those in darkness will see the light. The Culture War is just that—a war. And if you want to turn it around, this must be your mindset—every day, every way, every school, at every level.More articles and bio for Selwyn Duke…

The passengers in this brand new Volvo XC60 weren't expecting anything out of the ordinary as they drove away from an airfield northeast of London
yesterday afternoon two years ago. But the pilot of an small AT3 aircraft botched his landing somehow, hitting the car.
The pilot suffered serious injuries, and his plane was almost completely destroyed, but the Volvo passengers are poster children for Volvo's legendary safety credentials: they emerged from the wreck unscathed.
Luckily, the airfield had a fire crew on duty for a drag race being held nearby, so they were able to rush over and put out the resulting fire. Station Officer Len Cleary told the Daily Mail that the Volvo's passengers managed to get the pilot out of the plane before its cockpit became engulfed in flames.
Now that they've passed the moose test and won a fiery plane-car crash, we'd say Volvo's SUVs are doing pretty well.

Best Colour: Marcia Cross
It can get pretty tiresome – Marcia Cross in turquoise or orange or fuschia or green – on a red carpet. Yes Marcia, we get it… you can wear colour. And now we can't tell the difference between what you looked like at the Globes or the Emmys. Because pink ends up looking like red anyway. Full Story
Best White: Marcia Cross
Fantastic dress and the earrings are amazing, Marcia is back to pre-pregnancy form and not in bright eye-assaulting colour for a change. Am tired of seeing her in turquoise and purple. She is a vision in white, non? Full Story

Eugenie (Genie) Beal, a major force in green space conservation efforts in Boston since the 1970s, passed away on August 28 at age 92. A dynamic and tireless advocate for preserving open space from development, Ms. Beal will be remembered at a memorial service at the Arnold Arboretum's Weld Hill Research Building on Thursday, September 26 at 11am. The service is open to the public,and guests may park along the inner roads of the Arboretum's Peters Hill, located on Bussey Street near its intersection with Walter Street at the southern (Roslindale) border of the Arboretum's historical landscape (see directions to Peters Hill). A shuttle bus will be available to transport guests from the parking area on Peters Hill to the memorial service at the Weld Hill Research Building. Guests are advised to arrive early to allow for parking and shuttle service. The lot at Weld Hill will be reserved as handicap parking only (see directions to handicap parking).
At the Arnold Arboretum, Genie Beal is best remembered for leading efforts with husband John Blackwell to incorporate parcels of City- and Harvard-owned property known as Bussey Brook Meadow into the Arnold Arboretum indenture for public use, study, and enjoyment. Through funding by the Arboretum Park Conservancy (APC), a group she founded with husband John Blackwell, this "urban wild" also became accessible to visitors through the creation of the Blackwell Footpath traversing the meadow from Washington Street at Forest Hills to the Arboretum's South Street Gate. Through the commitment of Genie and her associates at the APC, the non-profit advocacy group has remained dedicated to improving the site, erecting gateways at both ends of the footpath, conducting a botanical survey, and funding interpretive signage to educate visitors on the parcel's wildlife and ecology.
Called "the mother of green space in the City of Boston" by Mayor Thomas Menino, Genie was a leading advocate for preserving open space throughout greater Boston for four decades. Working with equal comfort and effectiveness at both the official and grassroots levels, Genie's achievements include serving as the first director of Boston's Environment Department, co-founding with John Blackwell the Boston Natural Areas Network and serving as its chair, and helping to launch the Emerald Necklace Conservancy and the Boston Greenspace Alliance. She was honored for her trailblazing work as the inaugural recipient in 2005 of the Justine Mee Liff Spirit Award, presented by the Emerald Necklace Conservancy in honor of the late Boston Parks commissioner. She was also recognized by the Trustees of Reservations as recipient of the Charles Eliot Award, and by the American Society of Landscape Architects with the LaGasse Medal.

Timothy Johnson told a man to buy him drugs, then attacked him with a box cutter when the man didn't buy enough, according to a report.
Timothy Johnson told a man to buy him drugs, then attacked him with a box cutter when the man didn't buy enough, according to a report.
Gainesville Police said Johnson, 47, who shares a common area in an apartment with the victim on the 900 block of SW Eighth Avenue, told the man around 4 a.m. Saturday to go buy him drugs.
The victim reluctantly agreed, but when he returned, Johnson grabbed a box cutter and cut him on the left side of his throat, police said.
The victim talked to Johnson for about a half hour before calming him down enough to toss the cutter away and leave. The man then went to a store several blocks away and called police.
Johnson told police that he had been drinking heavily and had been sleeping on the couch in the common area, where he has lived for two days.
As police were arresting Johnson, he threatened them and spit at one officer. Police eventually restrained him and he was arrested on charges of aggravated battery, and battery on a law enforcement officer. He was being held at the Alachua County jail on Sunday.

In recent months, some of my clients have challenged me to help them find ways to continue to build leadership capacity, but within the constraints of very tight budgets. The use of Skype technology and email have allowed me to go virtual to effectively connect with participants who have been part of a Five Practices workshop and offer follow-up coaching for leaders.
Taking advantage of the latest technology tools has proven to be useful, valuable, and — essential to my clients — cost-effective, especially when participants are located in other cities. Combining Skype and email enables me to have 'almost' face-to-face contact with clients, without incurring travel expenses, and provided much-needed flexibility in scheduling time with busy leaders in the field.
The process I have used looks like this:
- Selected leaders are invited by e-mail to complete the LPI Online360?
- As the Administrator for the LPI Online, I monitor their process regularly with relevant e-mail messages to leaders as needed.
- Once the participant's LPI data is available and the feedback report has been generated, I review the results, noting key details that will help facilitate our discussion during a subsequent coaching session.
- A date and time are set for the coaching meeting with the leader and Skype contact information is shared.
- The LPI Feedback Report is e-mailed to the leader one day before the scheduled coaching session. The leader is encouraged to review the data beforehand with a view to creating a 3-point Personal Development Plan during our virtual meeting.
- On the meeting date, the Skype call is initiated, with video display where possible, so that we are visible to each other during the discussion.
- During the 90-minute coaching session, the leader is encouraged to highlight feedback data that is relevant to his or her personal leadership goals and plans. As the coach, I guide the leader to highlight 2-3 key areas where she/he wishes to make plans and set goals.
- At the end of the session, I prepare a follow-up e-mail detailing what I heard during our discussion and what I believe the leader wishes to initiate as a personal development plan. The e-mail serves as the first step in developing a formal plan for the leader and as helpful information for me in the event of another meeting.
- If my contract with the client only allows for one coaching session, I make it a point to discuss internal resources that can provide support and encourage the leader to make use of those resources in specific ways.
- In some cases, this first session will be followed with a second session (4-6 weeks later) and occasionally a third session some weeks after that.

Sabathia, Yanks too much for Twins in Game 1
Sabathia took the first step towards that goal in Game 1. After struggling early in the game he recovered to finish strong, twirling 6 2/3 innings and allowing just two runs. With a high-powered offense like the Yankees, that was more than enough. They took the series opener from the Minnesota Twins, 7-2.
"That's what we envisioned when we signed him," said Joe Girardi, "that CC would be pitching in October, late October, and into November."
New York's offense, which led the league in most major statistics during the regular season, continued their heavy-hitting ways. They picked up nine hits, including two-run home runs from Derek Jeter and Hideki Matsui, and a pair of RBI singles from Alex Rodriguez.
"It felt good," said Rodriguez. "It definitely felt good to contribute and get on the board." Jeter agreed. "We couldn't have drawn it up any better."
It took Sabathia 64 pitches to get through the first three innings, but he settled down after that, requiring just 31 pitches to get through the next three. He appeared to tire in the seventh, using 18 pitches to record two outs while putting runners on second and third. Phil Hughes came on to quell the threat, striking out Orlando Cabrera has he has done to so many other hitters this season.
"My changeup was really good," said Sabathia. "The cutter was pretty good with two strikes." Yet Sabathia admitted that not everything was perfect. "The fastball command wasn't always there, but I was able to make some pitches when I needed to get someone out."
The Twins scored two runs in the third to take the first series lead. With the bases empty and two outs they strung together three hits to score a run and put runners on first and third. On the first pitch to the next batter, Jason Kubel, Jorge Posada missed Sabathia's throw and the ball bounced away. After a momentary hesitation, Joe Mauer broke for home and scored his team's second run.
"It was a miscommunication," said Girardi. "They talked about what pitch they were going to throw, and the pitch wasn't thrown."
Derek Jeter answered a half inning later. The Yankees had trouble with rookie Brian Duensing the first time through the order, but found their bearings the second time around. Jeter, who singled on the first pitch in his first at bat, sat on a hanging slider, belting it deep down the left field line for a homer that reached the second deck. That tied the game at two.
An inning later the Yankees would take the lead for good. After Posada singled and Robinson Cano took his place on a fielder's choice, Nick Swisher laced a ball down the left field line, sending it into the corner. Cano hustled around second and saw third base coach Rob Thomson waving his arm. It would have taken a perfect relay, from Delmon Young to Orlando Cabrera to Joe Mauer, to get Cano, and two slightly inaccurate throws enabled him to slide in safely.
In the bottom of the fifth, for the second time in the game, Alex Rodriguez came to the plate with a runner on second. He hadn't recorded a postseason hit with runners in scoring position since the 2004 ALCS, but he timed the first pitch perfectly, driving it to left center. Jeter scored easily, and the Yankees went up 4-2. Even more importantly, it got the monkey off A-Rod's back.
Another opportunity came in the seventh, this time with Jeter on third and two outs. Rodriguez drove an outside pitch to the right field wall, picking up his second RBI in the process. Between the A-Rod RBIs, Hideki Matsui took a Francisco Liriano pitch into Monument Park for a two-run shot. It was all part of a nine-hit Yankee assault.
"Everyone keeps focusing on the individual," said Rodriguez, "but this is about the team." When asked what could be read into his hits, he replied, "Nothing. One RBI and then two RBI."
After Sabathia's exit with two outs in the seventh, Joe Girardi used four pitchers to cover the final 2 1/3 innings. That included Phil Hughes for two outs, both of the swinging strikeout variety. His biggest challenge came right away, as he faced Orlando Cabrera with runners on second and third with two outs.
"You know when it's a battle and he was fighting off some pitches pretty well," Hughes said. "I told myself I was going to stick with the fastball and make him beat me, and I finally got him with the last one."
Hughes allowed a single and retired a hitter in the eighth before Phil Coke came on to face the lefty Kubel. It took him just one pitch to record an out, a liner scorched to Mark Teixeira. Joba Chamberlain then came on to face Delmon Young, and he needed just two pitches to induce a grounder to short that ended the inning.
With a day off on Thursday, Girardi did not hesitate to use Mariano Rivera in the ninth. He allowed two base runners but allowed none of them to score, recording two strikeouts and inducing a grounder to end the game.
After the game, Derek Jeter put it in perspective. "Now Game 2 is important." For the Yankees, that's all that matters right now.

The issue
svn switch can safe a lot of time when working in different branches as not all source code has to be checked out again.
But well you know it: How fast does it happen that a file gets committed in the wrong branch?
To prevent you from always have to call svn info before committing, here comes the script which includes the current branch in the bash prompt so you may never commit code in the wrong branch again ;).
Get the script
#!/usr/bin/perl use Cwd; my $dir = getcwd; unless( -r $dir."/.svn" ) { exit; } $ret="svn"; $dir=`svn info | grep URL`; $dir =~ s/n//; if($dir =~ m//trunk/) { $ret="trunk"; } if($dir =~ m/branches/|tags//) { $dir=$dir."/"; $dir =~ s/.*(b|t)(ranches|ags)/(.*?)/.*/$1:$3/; $ret=$dir; } print " [$ret]";
What needs to be installed
Subversion of course and perl to run the script, which is usually installed in most distributions.
How to use it
Let's store the script to svn-ps1.pl somewhere let's say $HOME/bin.
Now open the bashrc file with vi ~/.bashrc and adjust the export of the PS1 variable:
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}[33[01;32m]u@h[33[00m]:[33[01;34m]w[33[00m]$ '
to the following:
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}[33[01;32m]u@h[33[00m]:[33[01;34m]w[33[00m]$(~/bin/svn-ps1.pl)$ '
Now simply change to some source code checked out with subversion and you will see that the prompt will look like this:
user@laptop:~/src/svn/some-code [b:branch-name]$

To limit the storage overhead on the database server, you can
transfer the backup data to a different server without ever
storing it locally. The primary MySQL Enterprise Backup feature related to
streaming is the single-image backup. To send the single-file
backup to standard output, specify by the
mysqlbackup option
backup-to-image with no
--backup-image option. (You can also specify
--backup-image=- to make it obvious that the
data is sent to stdout.) To stream the data, you use the
single-file backup in combination with operating system
features such as pipes,
ssh/scp, and so on
that can take input from standard output and create an
equivalent file on a remote system. You can either store the
single-file backup directly on the remote system, or invoke
the mysqlbackup command with the
image-to-backup-dir option on the other end
to reproduce the directory structure of a regular backup.
Example 3.16 Single-File Backup to a Remote Host
The following command streams the backup output to a remote
host, where it is saved directly to a tape device.
--backup-dir=/tmp designates the
directory for storing temporary work files rather than the
final output file. For simplicity, all the connection and
other necessary options are assumed to be taken from the
default configuration file. For the operation to run on the
remote system, substitute the combination of command,
device, and so on that you use as part of your normal
archiving procedure, such as dd or
mysqlbackup --backup-image=- --backup-dir=/tmp backup-to-image | \
ssh user@host
command arg1 arg2...

Obviously I have been away for a day so I am back, and I'm ready to proceed full throttle. Here is "how to draw the Arizona Cardinals", step by step. The Arizona Cardinals is an American football team that is owned by Bill Bidwill. The mascot for the team is a red cardinal called 'Big Red'. The Cardinal's team colors are red and white, and they are coached by Bruce Arians. I like drawing the animal mascots of various teams because they make them look so real, but animated at the same time. Drawing Big Red is obviously going to be easy because all you are doing is making a cutout style drawing in the form of a cardinal's head. I do hope you have fun, and be sure to leave some feedback because advice always helps out. Peace folks!

This feature request was declined by the community for a good reason – on a regular SE site, posting controversial questions or answers should usually not be considered positive behavior.
On Area51, however, I consider controversial questions (i.e. many on-topic and many off-topic votes) highly important, because they pretty much draw the borderline around the proposed site.
Having many trivially on-topic questions and many obviously off-topic questions is all good and well, but might not really help define the site. The controversial questions, on the other hand, clearly show where certain decisions and definitions have to be made for the site not to grow out of hand.
Thus I suggest a badge for posting a question that has many (quantity to be determined) on-topic and off-topic votes. Name suggestions are obviously encouraged.

May and June are busy months. There are a few friends and colleagues that continue to leverage the DemoCamp brand to help engage entrepreneurs, developers, code monkeys, hackers, marketers and others. We borrowed the 6 minute format from Demo. Rather than a chinwag about new technology or industry happenings, what better way than to spend 6 minutes and have someone show you want they've built. It forces way from the keyboards and out into the real world. It is a strange mix of presentations, improv and being social. It's about being connected, being proud of what you've been working, and having the opportunity to meet others in the community with similar interests.
The focus in Toronto has been on startups. Because this is my interest. Others are free to shape event and the format to their locale. The question of "what is your business model?" is such a silly question. Because some of the coolest presentations – hacking digital cameras – are closer to hobbies or performance art. I love the mix of new businesses, emerging technology explorations, and something closer to Maker Faire demos.
My advice, is if you are interested in seeing the great startups, hackers and makers in your city are doing you should make sure you check out a DemoCamp. And encourage Brydon and Kevin to keep doing this for their own entertainment and connection. Maybe you might want to help out
- May 27, 2011 – DemoCampHamilton2
- June 8, 2011 – DemoCampGuelph17
- June 9, 2011 – DemoCampToronto29 – details pending
DemoCampHamilton2 will feature a keynote presentation by Mic Berman, acting COO at FreshBooks and Founder at Embarkonit, as well as demos by FluidMedia, Dan Zen, Indellient, Open Hamilton and MealDeck. It is happening in conjunction with Apps For Health 2011 conference at Mohawk College. You can show up around 5:00pm for a drink and some additional networking before heading over for DemoCamp at 7:00pm.
The invited speaker is Mike McDerment, CEO and co-founder ofFreshbooks in Toronto. Mike's a serial entrepreneur who spends a lot of time giving back to the wider community by speaking at various tech conferences as well as lecturing at Humber College. He is also a founder of Toronto based Mesh Conference. After the keynote there are 4-6 demos followed by a live band. This is a completely open event, however, there is a donation ticket to help out starving musicians and the cost of providing entertainment.
The invited speaker is Howard Lindzon, CEO and cofounder of StockTwits in San Diego. He was one of my favourite speakers at StartupEmpire back in 2008. Howard is sharing his love of startups and early stage entrepreneurs across Canada this summer. If you miss him at DemoCamp, make sure you catch him at StartupFestival in Montreal or Grow Conference in Vancouver. The demo lineup and tickets are being finalized this week.

Cloudbreak and Restaurants will be the perfect venue for the return of the world's best surfers to one of the most perfect waves on the planet. The Volcom Fiji Pro will mark the brand's first ASP World Title event and a much-desired return to the world-class breaks.
The contest has been confirmed for the 2012 ASP World Title season. "We are all very excited about the opportunity to host our first ever ASP World Title event in Fiji," Richard Woolcott, Volcom CEO, said.
"Having the contest at Cloudbreak, or even Restaurants, is a perfect fit with Volcom's long history with Tavarua. This is a major step in our surfing program and it's great to be able to support the tour and its athletes with an event in world class surf".
After a three-year hiatus from the ASP Dream Tour, the Volcom Fiji Pro will host the world's best surfers from 2012 through 2014, with the potential for further extension from the current three-year license agreement
"Our partnership with Volcom has grown over the last several years from their support of our athletes to the sponsoring of the ASP 5-Star Pipe event and now as a licensee for an ASP World Title event," Brodie Carr, ASP Intl CEO, said.
"Fiji truly incorporates our mission statement of putting the world's best surfers in the world's best waves, and absolutely enhances our tour moving forward. I'm confident that all the guys will be rapt about this addition to the ASP World Tour."

Can you use the phrase: "great move" instead of the phrase "good job" or vice versa?
Are "good job" and "good work" similar phrases?

Can you use the phrase: "great move" instead of the phrase "good job" or vice versa?
Are "good job" and "good work" similar phrases?
No, great move isn't really synonymous with good job. The latter is often used in English to express approval of another's efficacy in accomplishing a goal, to say something like "job well done." If someone said the former phrase to me though, I'd interpret move there as it is found in the phrase making moves, which I'd define as "an action that puts one in a superior position", which itself probably comes by analogy to life as a game. Also, it should be noted that context will determine what the speaker thinks of as "superior." This is hard to digest simply from definitions, so an example will better illustrate:
Say Ebenezer Scrooge were speaking to Bill Gates on his decision to give away most of his fortune before his death. If he is careful in giving away his fortune, via a well-managed vehicle like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Ebenzer might say to Bill, "good job" -- as he accomplished his goals, by giving away his money carefully -- but it's rather unlikely he'd say to Bill, "great move," as he wouldn't see Bill's giving away money as putting in him what he'd consider to be a "superior" position.
On the other hand, if Mother Teresa were speaking to Bill Gates on his decision to give away most of his money, she would be one to say "great move" -- because the primary goal of her life was to eliminate poverty, care for people, etc. -- and "good job".
"Great work" is synonymous with "good job." So I guess the point of all my rambling was to say that "job" and "move" are certainly not synonymous.
I would avoid "great move" (as someone in his 30s) for its potential to be sarcastic. "Good job" is praise, and synonymous with "nice job", "well done", or even simply "nice". "Great move" is what I would say to a close friend who had just tripped on the curb.
I think "great move" may be used in a situation, where the thing that happened can be regarded as a "move" at all. For example, one had a choice between doing and that. And suddenly he does something completely different, which was very smart. And we say "great move".
Whereas "good job" is just something which is well done at all.

Hi all,
Definitely new to java (but have 13 years of VB/.NET experience). I wrote a little Monopoly app that asks for user input through the course of the game (such as 'How many players' before creating the game and then asking each user for their name before starting). It works wonderfully from the console but now I'm trying to give it a bit of a front-end.
I may not be taking the correct approach, but I'm working with JSP's and a copy of my original .java files. The problem I am having is that after posting the 'How many players' form and calling my createGame method, I can't figure out how to have my code ask the user(s) for their name instead of halting in the System.out.println(). Basically, I can't figure out how to get data to flow from .java to .jsp (I've got the .jsp to .java down, I believe).
So, to put it in more of a flow, I have this:
- index.html is the starting point and has a POST form asking for the number of players. The action goes to SetPlayers.jsp.
- in the SetPlayers.jsp, I read in the number of players from request.getParameter. I then initiate my main class and call newGame(numPlayers)
- newGame iterates over the numPlayers and creates a player for each one (addPlayer)
- addPlayer first asks the player for their name and token (such as 'Joe' and 'Car'). It then creates a new player and sets the player attributes as per the user input. This is repeated for the number of players. This is pretty much where I am stuck as I can't figure out how to pass the input back to the .jsp instead of sticking to the console and causing my .jsp to spin/wait.
And finally, here's the snippets of my code, as it might be more beneficial.
//Index.html <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="SetPlayers.jsp"> How many players will be playing? <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME=numPlayers SIZE=5>

<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Create Game"> </FORM> //SetPlayers.jsp <%= request.getParameter("numPlayers") %> <% int numPlayers = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("numPlayers")); com.jlr.monopoly.TestApp monopoly = new com.jlr.monopoly.TestApp(); monopoly.setNumPlayers(numPlayers); monopoly.newGame(numPlayers); %> //TestApp.newGame public void newGame(int numPlayers) { Game game = new Game(); game.createGame(numPlayers); game.startGame(numPlayers); } //Game.createGame and Game.addPlayer public int createGame(int numPlayers) { Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); int x = 1; playerArray = new Player[numPlayers]; while (x < numPlayers+1) { playerArray[x-1] = addPlayer(x); x++; } return numPlayers; } public Player addPlayer(int playerSeq) { Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); String playerKey = "Player" + playerSeq; System.out.println(playerKey + ": Please enter your name"); String name = input.next(); System.out.println(playerKey + ": Please enter your token"); String token = input.next(); Player player = new Player(name, token, 0); return player; }
Any help to get me going in the right direction is greatly appreciated. I know my form isn't great, but I can always refactor as I go.
Thanks in advance!

Mike Despin, a 48-year-old Worcester man, was killed in a two-vehicle accident at Franklin and Grafton streets yesterday. Police said the driver of the second vehicle, Adam Bard, 28, of 48 Water St., Worcester, faces various charges, notably motor vehicle homicide and drunken driving.
A 48-year-old Worcester man was killed in a two-vehicle accident at Franklin and Grafton streets yesterday, according to police.
The man who died has been identified by family members as Mike Despin, of 4 Rockwell St., Worcester.
He was a machinist at Saint-Gobain. Family members, gathering at his house this afternoon, recalled a man who adored his grandchildren.
Police said the driver of the second vehicle, Adam Bard, 28, of 48 Water St., Worcester, faces various charges, notably motor vehicle homicide and drunken driving. He is also charged with speeding and driving to endanger.
Mr. Bard is in the intensive care unit at UMass Memorial Medical Center - University Campus with serious head injuries, police said.
The two-vehicle accident crash occurred about 11:50 p.m. Wednesday in the area of 18 Grafton St.
Police provided the following news release:
"Officers at the scene observed a red Audi A3 resting against the corner of the building at 18 Grafton Street. Directly in front of this address was a white Ford pickup truck. The truck was flipped onto the driver's side.
"The preliminary investigation revealed that the Audi A3 was traveling north on Grafton Street towards the Washington Square rotary. The operator of the pickup truck was traveling west on Franklin Street. As both vehicles entered the intersection, the Audi A3 struck the pickup truck on the driver's side causing the truck to reverse flip onto the driver's side.
"Prior to the crash, officers from the Operations Division were flagged down by a security guard at an apartment building located at 48 Water Street. The security guard informed the officers that a tenant had exited the elevator in the lobby of the building. The security guard believed that this male was intoxicated based on his slurred speech. He was also stumbling as he walked. At one point, the male attempted to urinate on the lobby floor. The male was escorted outside of the building and urinated on the sidewalk. The guard stayed with the male who stated that he was waiting for a friend to pick him up. At this time, the security guard believed that he was getting a ride and went back into the lobby to continue his duties. The guard later observed the male enter a red Audi and drive away swerving all over the road.
"The officers began to search for the Audi. Approximately 15 minutes later police received a call from a concerned citizen in the area of Kelley Square. The caller stated that they observed a male enter a parked red Audi in front of "Wings Over Worcester." The male started to drive away with his driver's door open. The vehicle jumped the curb and the open door smashed into a parking meter. The Audi then sped away at a high rate of speed. The caller informed police that they attempted to follow the Audi but it was driving too fast. The caller observed the Audi drive right through a stop sign at the intersection of Water and Harrison Streets. The Audi was last seen driving on Water Street, heading towards Grafton Street."
