Why we liked to be scared
The shadowy front door beckons, a gaping maw of mystery that simply must be explored. Though foreboding, it lures hordes of frail mortals who approach with timid steps, hands outstretched in the darkness as if to fend off the fright.
Yet it comes. Ghouls shriek and leap from mossy mausoleum walls, shrouded ghosts linger and lurk in a ramshackle seance room, eviscerated bodies litter the walkway. Soon, even the burliest, toughest of men are squealing like infants and cowering behind their girlfriends.
And then emerges the most horrifying, astonishing thing of all:
"They come out and say, 'Let's go again!' " said Kathrynn Cobbs, show director of the Fright Nights Halloween extravaganza at the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, a 45-minute maze -- one of the longest in the country -- overrun with all things morbid, monstrous and macabre. It draws thousands of victims -- make that visitors -- every year.
It's downright scary that so many of us actually want to be scared, at least in controlled environments. We seek out fright and fear and ghosts and gore: fake blood and brain matter spattered on the walls in haunted attractions at amusement parks, or psychotic killers slicing off limbs in slasher flicks galore.
And we pay for this stuff. Fear is a booming business, a $300 million industry for professional haunted houses, says Patrick Konopelski, president of the Haunted Attractions Association. In addition, Americans spend billions more on Halloween costumes, decor and movies, according to the National Retail Federation.
So what is it that draws us so dramatically to the dark side?
"It does seem counterintuitive that we would want to be scared," said Christopher Moreman, Cal State East Bay's resident zombie expert. He's actually an associate professor of philosophy who studies horror, comparative religions, paranormal experiences, and death and dying in pop culture. And he just plain likes zombies.
"Some researchers think (the desire to be scared) is a matter of instinct," he said. "We have this basic 'fight or flight' instinct, but we don't have lifestyles now that require the use of that. So there's a need to experience those sensations."
Indeed, in tense situations heart rates increase, we breathe faster, muscles tighten, attention focuses for quick and effective responses to threats. But if the brain knows there's no real danger, it experiences this rush of adrenaline as enjoyable. In fact, Moreman sees a relation between horror and comedy, and not just in the sense of "Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy."
"With a joke, tension builds, and the punch line resolves it. It's a release," he said. "Same with horror. You've made it through, and there's a relief of tension. You've survived the experience and can even laugh at it."
Sinister, but safe
"Many people say (being scared) makes them 'feel alive,' " said East Bay parapsychologist Loyd Auerbach, who is often surprised when people who are terrified of real things that go bump in the night in their very own basements will eagerly pay to attend a staged haunted attraction.
"There are those rare persons who seek out actual physical risks that engender that feeling, but most people look to be scared in controlled environments where they are reasonably sure nothing will actually hurt them," he said.
The environments may be controlled, but it's that "out of control" feeling that's desirable, Cobbs said.
"There's so much control in every aspect of our lives, we want that visceral experience somehow," she said.
Psychologists describe this as a "liminal state," an in-between realm where things are allowed to "get weird," Moreman said, then eventually all returns to a state of order. Such a threshold plays an important role in various human rites of passage, such as a bachelor party, he said, where things get wild before the ordered married life.
Halloween can be seen as a liminal ritual, he said. "All Hallow's Eve is supposed to mark the end of the harvest season, the period bordering between life and death," Moreman said. "It's a liminal space that happens when spirits of the dead can come through, so people dress up as monsters to confuse the real monsters, and all this weirdness happens before we go back to an ordered state of everyday life.
"It gives us a chance to confront and mediate our fear of mortality."
Engineering evil
The experts in the moviemaking and haunted-house biz know all this. They know how to write plots and design scares to play on our deepest dread. And there are trends in terror, just as much as in fashion and music.
"The horror genre is particularly supple in adapting to and reflecting the deepest fears and anxieties of the times," said Gary Handman, retired director of the Media Resources Center at UC Berkeley, which has one of the largest collections of film and audio recordings in the country.
"Those great, classic Universal horror films were made during the bleakest years of the Great Depression. The 1950s horror films almost uniformly reflected nuclear anxieties, gender anxieties and other cultural worries: Big bugs! Alien invasion! Fifty-foot women running amok! They mean something in terms of cultural nightmares."
And haunted-house designers don't just throw up displays in random configurations. They know what scares you, and they go for the jugular.
"We create characters for our actors with a backstory. It's not just someone in a mask jumping out," said Cobbs, who runs the "scare school" for dozens of actors who put on the scary show at the Winchester house. "We take advantage of all the senses: music, sounds, even scents -- in the swamp area, there's that damp, marshy smell piped in. You have different kinds of scares, like stalking, where the actors make eye contact and linger. Or tag team, where one distracts and the other one does the scare. Every customer gets an experience unique to them."
Such sensory experiences give the effect of being inside a horror movie. "Instead of just watching it, the killer is coming after you," Cobbs said. "But of course he's not really going to kill you. It's all controlled.
"If it weren't controlled, it would be a nightmare."

text: Problem: The previously painted surfaces on the mullion-type windows and doors at the Loews Hotel in Santa Monica were fading and peeling. The coating selected for this project had to meet South Coast Air Quality Management District VOC regulations. Representatives from the Loews Hotel needed a product with a proven track record of success on similar properties in Southern California. Solution: The Rust-Oleum Sierra Performance product line met all the performance and regulatory requirements of the project. All Sierra Performance coatings have a zero VOCs, zero hazardous air pollutants, plus they do not contain any solvent odor. The product line also had a proven track record of success at many other projects in the Southern California climate. Painting contractors first applied the Sierra Performance Griptec Primer. Griptec is a water-based primer that provides outstanding adhesion on difficult to paint surfaces. The primer dries fast in 30 minutes or less allowing for the top coat to be applied without any downtime. For the topcoat, two coats of Sierra MetalMax DTM Acrylic Enamel in semi-gloss were applied. MetalMax provides excellent corrosion protection, color retention and results in a smooth, durable finish. The final results were extremely positive and the doors and windows looked as good as new and will be protected for years to come.

by James Albrecht
Having run product development at a Silicon Valley portal in the late '90s, I thought I would present some food for thought as the CHCA considers venturing into the "local portal" business. According to the Local, the portal was suggested by a board member as a way to close the CHCA's budget gap. If that is the goal, I can save you all a lot of time: Quit now. Or at the very least recognize the harsh realities of the business you're choosing to enter:
1. Lack of scale: Web portals rely on scale to make their businesses profitable – that is, if they ever become profitable at all. The idea is that you pay for product development once and for content once and then monetize it a million times over. Obviously, this is tough to do with local content, even if you're operating nationally like AOL's Patch. Remember Microsoft "Sidewalk?" The Cox Interactive's "Insider" sites? Like those defunct local portals, Patch still has to have employees everywhere. They have to crank out new sausage every day in every neighborhood and only people in that neighborhood will buy it. (Patch is trying to make up for this shortcoming by creating what one of their editors called a "sweatshop" environment. You can read about it here: http://www.businessinsider.com/aols-patch-is-a-sweatshop-of-70-hour-work-weeks-with-no-vacation-editors-email-suggests-2010-8)
But at least their platform and engineering is paid for once and leveraged across the country. Of course, the CHCA will have none of these advantages. Everything that is built will have to be supported by the businesses in Chestnut Hill – or more likely, the members of the CHCA.
2. Revenue: Presumably the CHCA venture will be ad-supported. But the same ills that afflict the business district generally will afflict the portal. In short, there aren't enough businesses making enough money and Chestnut Hill isn't enough of a destination. If this were a regional or national shopping or tourist destination, the economics would be different. (A shore town, for instance, might have a better shot at making a go of it.)
3. Online CPMs are a falling knife: the value of online ads has been falling steadily over the past decade. In five minutes I can put an ad for house wares on Google targeted to people in my zip code who search for "steak knives." I can reach a thousand of those people for less than a dollar. In light of that, what is the value proposition you're bringing to your potential advertisers? Undoubtedly, a human sales force can bring in better terms, but what about when Patch starts undercutting?
4. Lack of expertise and funding: I'm not in love with the AOL strategy, frankly, but I like it better than the idea of competing with them as a local community association with a budget deficit. I mean, really? This is how you want to spend your money? I know the executive who runs mobile at AOL. He's one of the most brilliant engineers I've worked with. You can be sure that they will have some very slick iPhone integration into Patch in short order. (And they will only have to build an app once before launching it in their hundreds of neighborhoods.) Can the CHCA keep up? And what happens when you spend a bunch of money only to find that the cash doesn't pour in and what you really need is to spend even more money to keep up with the competition, which, by the way, has millions of dollars in its war chest? No telling what Patch will be able to do with all that money, but I can tell you one thing they won't do, at least in the near term: turn a profit.
5. Should the CHCA be entrepreneurial at all? I'm sure you get by now that I consider the idea of a neighborhood portal as a near-term profit center to be fully delusional. But the larger issue is this: Should the CHCA be involved in speculative business enterprises at all? Should it open restaurants or start a vineyard or try to invent better mousetraps? Well, starting a Web portal makes all that look like investing in T-bills.
A Different Vision
Board member Arthur Howe raised a different notion of the neighborhood portal. Howe seems to understand that the point of any such project is not the creation of a new profit center, but the defense of an old one. For what stands to lose with the imminent arrival of Patch is not the neighborhood – after all, Patch only succeeds if they make themselves useful to us – but the Local.
Needless to say, this vulnerability has been an open secret for years, as every newspaper in the country has struggled to reinvent itself online, usually amid painful layoffs and diminished ambitions. The committee that the CHCA should have formed, long ago, is one that would try to imagine a survival strategy for the Local. Of course thinking about the slow erosion of the print business model has never been as much fun as bickering about editorial matters. But better late than never, I suppose. Patch still has the "coming soon" label up next to Chestnut Hill.
In line with Howe's notion, the CHCA should consider incremental changes, short of investing in a full-blown "portal," that would make the Local more viable on the Web, including better integration of restaurant listings, business listings and the news archive; an expanded community forum; social media integration, and abandoning the weekly news cycle on the website.
Coverage would have to include shorter blurbs about events and about stories that are yet in progress. At the same time, it's critical that the Local be able to recognize uniquely interesting stories and go deep on them. Patch simply won't be able to follow. Maybe it would be worthwhile to spend a couple thousand dollars hooking the business listings up to an iPhone app, so that Hillers who choose could be able to be notified of local events and specials on their mobiles and businesses and be able to update similarly. In any event, spending a few dollars on a coherent redesign makes much more sense than spending a lot on a speculative new portal.
But the best strategy might be a completely different approach. I don't know what the Local makes off of its website, but it's bound to be pretty pitiful. What about giving the Local's online presence to Patch in exchange for the budget that they would be spending on their own operation? The personnel and content budget for a Patch neighborhood is small, but surely must be in the neighborhood of $70K to $100K (ex sales staff) – far more than the Local will be able to generate from ad sales on its website.
The print version of the Local becomes, essentially, a weekly summary of the website, perhaps with additional special content. This strategy is a big bet against AOL's success. It suggests that online local content will not generate the dollars they are paying to acquire it. If true, Patch eventually goes away, and the Local has gotten the better half of the deal for a decade or so. If false – if AOL really can make a go of hyper-local content on the Internet – the Chestnut Hill Local, for want of reach and expertise and investment capital, was bound to perish anyway.
James Albrecht, a Chestnut Hill residen, was director of content development for the @Home Network and served as vice president of product design after @Home acquired Excite.com.

In 1999, the Special Operations Division (SOD) began a pilot program to develop regional drug investigative task forces. The SEKDETF, which covers Cherokee, Crawford, Labette, Allen, Bourbon and Neosho counties, became the first of such task forces in the state. The SEKDETF's mission is to reduce the level of drug trafficking and the availability of illegal drugs in the regions. A related goal is to make a significant impact on the level of violence and property crime associated with the use and trafficking of illegal drugs.
This task force receieves support from Midwest HIDTA, the KBI, the Attorney General and nineteen regional law enforcement agencies. The SOD functions as the manager and handles budget matters for the SEKDETF.

Beef from Galicia
Beef from Galicia is the most characteristic expression of regional livestock production and is yet another example of the gastronomical wealth of Galicia.
Beef from Galicia comes exclusively from cattle of the Rubia Gallega, Northwest Brown breeds, crosses between them and crosses of the first generation of males from these breeds with females from the Frisian and Alpine Brown breeds. The Rubia Gallega breed, native to the north-west part of the peninsula, is especially outstanding. They are animals with robust, strong frames, then skin, short blond or cinnamon coloured hair, which are raised primarily for their meat. Production includes the slaughter and butchering operations. The colour of the meat varies from light pink to light red. It stands out for its intense, pleasant taste and for being extraordinarily tender, juicy and succulent. It also possesses unbeatable sensorial characteristics since it comes from very young animals, fed a traditional high-quality diet and raised on family farms by the families themselves.

What is the Pathfinder Society?
From the Pathfinder Society Page
Pathfinder Society Organized Play is a worldwide fantasy roleplaying campaign that puts YOU in the role of an agent of the Pathfinder Society, a legendary league of explorers, archaeologists, and adventurers dedicated to discovering and chronicling the greatest mysteries and wonders of an ancient world beset by magic and evil.
The campaign's home base is sprawling Absalom, the so-called City at the Center of the World, that stands astride the great Inner Sea on the mountain-capped Isle of Kortos. A Pathfinder's adventures explore the dark alleys and political intrigue of Absalom between far-flung travels to the most interesting and exotic locales in the world of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.
In Pathfinder Society Organized Play, you play a member of the Pathfinder Society, seeking fortune and glory all over the face of Golarion. At the same time, your character works for one of the competing factions, all with their own motivations and secret agendas.
Play is organized into Seasons, throughout which the actions and achievements of you and your fellow Pathfinders create an ongoing storyline. Each season consists of at least 28 Pathfinder Society scenarios (short, 4-hour adventures) set in a variety of exotic locations across Golarion.
For more info on the PFS check out their web page here, Also from that page you can download the Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play. I suggest you download that and read it over to learn the rules on character creation and other things about Org Play.

It is a great resource for making a deep background story for your character and to help with roleplaying in the game, Which we are hoping to get out of you all, our goal not to be running a Combat Mini game, but an interactive roleplaying game.
Some of you may not be familiar with the Pathfinder Roleplaying game, the Paizo rules based on D&D 3.5., the best way of course to become familiar with the rules is to buy the book, or the PDF (which is only $9.99!), but a good resource to learn the rules is the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Reference Document, which is free full rules on the Paizo web page.
So other useful resources are:

How to Use the Images Photo 1
Photo 1
Photo 6: McCabe College Building.
The McCabe College Building, built in 1899 as a Methodist school, is the only stone building in Skagway. In 1900, a new civil code allowed tax money to be used to build and maintain public schools. As a private institution, McCabe College could not compete. The building was sold to the federal government on June 1, 1901, for use as a U.S. District Courthouse.
Questions for Photo 6
1. Compare this building with those in Photo 2.
2. What do the materials and design of this building indicate about its importance? What does it indicate about Skagway's permanent population?
3. What function did this building serve other than a school? Why might it have been suitable for this purpose?
* The image on the screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a high resolution version of Photo 6, but be aware that it will take about 30 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

I explained to him my cleaning needs and he made sure he sent the right person for me. When the cleaner arrived she was on time, and she came in ready to work. When she was done I looked over everything, and I couldn't believe how perfect things were. I've used other cleaning services in the past, but this is beyond the BEST one I've used. I was so excited when she left, I called the office right away to schedule my next appointment :)....Thanks again Soft Touch!!!"

The reason for this change is that when we priced our membership, we didn't plan on having to produce 20+ trainers for a single game. When you pile all these updates on top of new games which also patch daily, it snowballs into a massive amount of work each day. It doesn't help that the majority of members expect us to release an updated trainer within about 3 hours of each game patching or being released.
For example, in JULY 2012, we released 64 trainers. In JULY 2013 we released 179 trainers. That's a 280% increase in the number of trainers that we had to release in order to keep up with new games and patches. In the first six months of 2012, we released 376 trainers. In the first six months of 2013 we released 897 trainers. Again, a 240% increase. We had to hire an additional programmer and have not raised membership prices to adjust for these additional expenses.
So that members not requiring access to these trainers are not hit with a membership hike, we made the decision to require a LIFETIME membership in order to download these excessive updates. You guys expect more out of us, so we expect a little more support out of you. This also keeps us from having to add an additional layer of membership beyond LIFETIME. We feel this is the most fair course of action and should allow us to continue supporting these games that require more attention than others. The alternative is to simply retire games after 20 trainers.
Ultimately you guys should be complaining to the game developers for making you pay full price for a game that obviously was not finished or tested properly. If a single game requires 20+ patches to make it playable, something isn't right.
In order to assist current yearly members in moving to LIFETIME, we have created a promo code that can be used to apply the FULL PRICE of your yearly membership towards a lifetime account. The promo code is "CHULIFEPROMO20". THIS PROMO CODE WILL EXPIRE ON OCT 31, 2013.
This promo code has now expired, however it will still work for any yearly subscriber that has upgraded within the LAST 10 DAYS. This is a grace period to upgrade to lifetime without paying the full price.
Here is a list of some of the games which will be affected by this change:
Borderlands 2
Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing
Torchlight II
Shogun 2: Total War
Sins of a Solar Empire
Max Payne 3
Company of Heroes 2
Mount & Blade: Warband
Portal 2
Wargame: AirLand Battle
Company of Heroes
Crusader Kings II
Defense Grid: The Awakening
Gratuitous Space Battles
Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad
Wargame: European Escalation
Serious Sam 3: BFE
Settlers 7, The - Paths to a Kingdom
Trine 2

when i joined back in 2007, i purchased lifetime from the start, so this won't in any way affect me, right?
[Edited by Drenus, 9/2/2013 10:40:06 AM]
just to be sure

[Edited by Drenus, 9/2/2013 10:40:06 AM]
It shouldnt affect you. I bought lifetime recently and then I saw this.
This should give us enough extra revenue to cover the current list of games that patch more than 20 times. If this list continues to grow exponentially over the next 12 months then we may have to adjust membership prices across the board. There will still be no additional charge for LIFETIME members.
If you have a lifetime membership and wish to help out then you are welcome to make a donation to the site at any time.
Maybe you should add another symbol in the traiker status screen that says: 'Patch noticed - Trainer in progress'.
This probably will at least reduce the number of

do you honestly expect the type of people who makes those whine threads will actually check the game page first?, i think you're giving them too much IQ credit

Smart mortgage lending practices protected most credit unions from making the bad loans that drove many lenders under following the recent housing market collapse. So as the housing market gradually recovers, many consider credit unions the go-to lenders for conscientious borrowers.
But even though most shady players were driven out of the mortgage business, regulators are coming down hard on financial institutions offering the loans. That means credit unions will have to make sense of a jumble of new regulations in 2012.
"Impending regulatory changes include QRM [Qualified Residential Mortgage], which involves risk retention on loans sold in the secondary market that don't meet QRM standards, and QM [Qualified Mortgage], which is a yet to be determined standard that will have to be met on all first mortgages," says Wallace Jones, vice president/national training director at CU Members Mortgage. "There will also be new rules regarding servicing. There has been a lot of pressure to dramatically change what mortgage servicers are required to do."
Tom Pisapia, executive vice president at QR Lending Inc., says impending regulations will follow a tsunami of recent changes contained in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. "We've seen only a small part of its impact on the origination and servicing of residential mortgage loans, but we know it will not lessen the compliance burden."
Adding to credit unions' burden, says Jones, is that the time given to implement changes has been cut. "The fuse is shorter. Financial institutions used to have a four- to six-month window for assimilating regulatory changes. Now it's a much shorter span."
Pisapia uses the same terminology: "Regulations are more fast-track than before and their effective dates come with shorter fuses. It's probably related to the subprime meltdown and may be an overreaction to it."
Many regulations, he says, are being implemented without regard for existing ones, or the fact that most bad players have been squeezed out of the market. "We're getting layer upon regulatory layer to consolidate and wade through."
Pisapia notes that the slowest part of the mortgage process is now the appraisal. "What used to take an average of six to eight days now takes 10 to 14."
But while new regulations have slowed the process, he says increasing demand for appraisers' services has been an encouraging sign.
Another bright note is the presence of mortgage lenders and service providers that can handle the new regulatory requirements, leaving credit unions free to pursue new business.
In fact, says Pisapia, such companies "can shield credit unions from almost any hassle in the mortgage process—except for accepting applications.
"Years ago, credit unions that produced a minimal number of mortgages per year might have been able to perform all the compliance functions necessary to appease regulators," he continues. "However, the mortgage loan process has become so complex that it requires state-of-the-art technology and specialized expertise whether you do one or 1,000 loans a year."

At RootsTech 2012, Ron Tanner, the product manager for New.FamilySearch.org, introduced Family Tree which he characterized as the ultimate replacement for New FamilySearch. He indicated that the new program would be introduced before the end of the year. Well, I got an email from Ron Tanner sending a link to the new program. I now have access to the new program. Ron's email does not mention a general introduction date, nor does it mention a schedule for any updates to the program.
When I clicked on the link to the sign in, the Family Tree link showed up on the menu of FamilySearch.org.
I have just begun to look at the new program and you will have to wait
for any further information. But the program does look and operate just a
demoed by Ron Tanner.
Obviously, more later.

Last October, Better Homes and Gardens editor Amy Panos asked me to create a fall entertaining feature for their 2012 October issue magazine issue.
I grew up in a house where fall football parties and tailgating were a big part of the fall season. These memories inspired me to come up with this twist on the tailgate party idea: "How to Have A Tailgate Party Inside"
Amy Panos and the editorial team approved my idea, and last November I put my design ideas into action. Working closely with Amy together we embraced what BHG always offers its readers: Taking creative ideas and turning these ideas into fun things anyone can do that are easy, affordable and fresh.
Plaid Blankets and tailgating go hand in hand. We got the look using a blanket as a table cover.
One of my favorite blanket stores is Sorcha in Hingham, Massachusetts! Just love her amazing bright colored throws and scarfs. Perfect for this feature!
The scarf was perfect for hanging the chrysanthemum party wreath! Easy to make, too! Just use a mix of big spider mums and football mums. Cut the stems to 1" length, and push into a styrofam base. Easy as pie! (Added bonus, the mums will last without water for days!)
Perfect for any Fall party:
Sugar cookies cut with fall leaf cookie cutters make the best leaf cookies!!!
Use colored sprinkles from the food craft section of any grocery or cook shop.
The football field table cover brings the game inside! You can pull it all together easily with Craft paper, white electrical tape from the hardware store and craft store adhesive numbers .
These mini football whoopie pies are made using boxed pumpkin bread mix in egg shaped muffin pans and cool whip for the icing.
Check out the current October Better Homes and Gardens magazine for the whole story and get more inspirations for your own football gathering.

Jailbreaking your iPad and unlocking your iPhone ruled illegal by Library of Congress
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Corporate News, Software
Somber news for the jailbreaking and unlocking community. Per rule of the Library of Congress, it will be illegal to unlock any smartphone (including iPhone) or jailbreak any tablet (including iPad) purchased after January 1, 2013. The only exception is jailbreaking or rooting a smartphone, which is covered by the DMCA for the next three years.
B. Wireless telephone handsets – software interoperability
Computer programs that enable wireless telephone handsets to execute lawfully obtained software applications, where circumvention is accomplished for the sole purpose of enabling interoperability of such applications with computer programs on the telephone handset.
C. Wireless telephone handsets – interoperability with alternative networks
Computer programs, in the form of firmware or software, that enable a wireless telephone handset originally acquired from the operator of a wireless telecommunications network or retailer no later than ninety days after the effective date of this exemption to connect to a different wireless telecommunications network, if the operator of the wireless communications network to which the handset is locked has failed to unlock it within a reasonable period of time following a request by the owner of the wireless telephone handset, and when circumvention is initiated by the owner, an individual consumer, who is also the owner of the copy of the computer program in such wireless telephone handset, solely in order to connect to a different wireless telecommunications network, and such access to the network is authorized by the operator of the network.
This exemption is a modification of the proponents' proposal. It permits the circumvention of computer programs on mobile phones to enable such mobile phones to connect to alternative networks (often referred to as "unlocking"), but with limited applicability. In order to align the exemption to current market realities, it applies only to mobile phones acquired prior to the effective date of the exemption or within 90 days thereafter. - US Library of Congress.

HelpContents > HelpOnAdministration > HelpOnInstalling
This document describes how to install MoinMoin on the webserver of your ISP. I will assume a few things:
You are not allowed to write into python's site-packages directory.
Download the latest distribution of MoinMoin from its homepage. Unpack it into a local directory. On a windows machine, you could use WinZip. On Linux, open a shell and type
tar xzf moin-1....tar.gz
whereas moin-1....tar.gz is the filename of the downloaded file.
For the present purpose, it is not necessary to run the setup. We just work with the source code.
Now it is time to find out how your ISP supports python. Unfortunately, python is not as popular as PHP. Therefore, it is quite likely that your ISP does not support fancy python stuff like mod_python. If they support python at all, they probably support the Common Gateway Interface (CGI). As noted above, I describe only this installation option. Now there is some homework for you to do:
Find out where the python binary resides on your webserver. You should be able to find some hints in the ISPs online documentation, or you can ask their support team, or you can guess. Common locations are /usr/bin/python, /usr/bin/python2.3 or /usr/local/bin/python. Sometimes, an ISP chooses to support more than one python version, usually indicated by a version number in the search path. If possible, choose the latest version. Modify the first line of the explore script and the moin.cgi file to match the path of the python executable.
Use your favorite FTP-client and transfer your script to your webserver's cgi-bin directory, using the .cgi file extension. Try to call its URL via a web browser. If you don't have a cgi-bin,
copy the script into your favorite directory on your webserver, using the .py or .cgi file extension. Try to call its URL via a web browser.
First check it using the .cgi extension, then try the .py extension if necessary.
1 #!/usr/bin/python2.3

4 import os
5 import sys
7 try:
8 __file__

26 for variable in os.environ:
27 print "

\n" % (variable, os.environ[variable])
28 print "

Download: Upload new attachment "explore.py"
Some of the following problems may show up:
If you encounter a 404 Not found error, that probably means what it says: you have chosen the wrong URL.
If you have errors in your script, apache usually reports an Internal Server Error.
If your script has wrong file privileges, apache may report a Premature End of Script Headers. Set the file permission so as to allow execution of the script. Your FTP-client will do the job.
If everything works, a table should appear on your screen. It gives you some basic information on your webserver. Later we will need python version, absolute path of this script, DOCUMENT_ROOT and SITE_URI.
You have to transfer four directories to your webserver.
moin-1.3.3/wiki/htdocs contains static files (e. g. css stylesheets and icons). Place this directory on your server somewhere under apache's DOCUMENT_ROOT and rename it to 'wiki'. Apache has to deliver them directly.
moin-1.3.3/wiki/underlay contains wiki templates and help pages. Place this directory on your server outside the DOCUMENT_ROOT, if possible. Apache should not be able to deliver these files directly.
moin-1.3.3/wiki/data is going to contain your wiki pages. Place this outside apache's DOCUMENT_ROOT.
moin-1.3.3/MoinMoin contains python source code. Place this outside apache's DOCUMENT_ROOT.
SECURITY WARNING: If you have no choice but to place MoinMoin, underlay or data under apache's DOCUMENT_ROOT, it is very important to hinder apache from directly accessing them.
1. Use your favorite editor to create a file named .htaccess.
2. Insert into this file the text deny from all
3. Copy it via FTP into the directory you want to protect.
4. Try to access the protected directory via your webbrowser. If protection does work, you should see Access denied.
5. If you cannot protect these directories, please delete them from your webserver immediately. Do not continue your installation.
There are two files that need fine tuning:
moin-1.3.3/wiki/server/moin.cgi is going to be called by apache whenever a wiki page is requested.
moin-1.3.3/wiki/config/wikiconfig.py contains configuration options for your wiki.
Choose a location for these files on your webserver. You are free to choose, but apache must be able to execute moin.cgi. If necessary, you can even rename moin.cgi, for example to moin.py. I would recommend placing wikiconfig.py in a separate config directory that is not accessible by apache. Do not start uploading, we are going to make some modifications first.
Now open moin-1.3.3/wiki/server/moin.cgi in your favorite editor.
(1) Adjust python path. First you have to adjust your python path in line 1. The new value depends on your ISPs setting.
(2) Set the path to MoinMoin. You will find a line
## sys.path.insert(0, 'PREFIX/lib/python2.3/site-packages')
Uncomment this line and replace the path information. If you have run Upload new attachment "explore.py" on your webserver, you may use your knowledge of absolute path of this script to guess the absolute path to the MoinMoin directory.
Example: You transfered explore.py with your FTP-client into /public_html on your webserver. Absolute path of this script reveals /home/nowhere.com/public_html. You transfered MoinMoin to /MoinMoin. You plan to place moin.cgi as /pubic_html/index.py on your webserver. You would have to insert
sys.path.insert(0, '/home/nowhere.com') # REPLACED!
Of course a relative path will be allright, too. So, sticking to our example, you could also insert
sys.path.insert(0, '..')
(3) Set the path to wikiconfig.py. Now search for
sys.path.insert(0, '/path/to/wikiconfig')
Insert the path to wikiconfig.py on your webserver.
Example: You transfered explore.py with your FTP-client into /public_html on your webserver. Absolute path of this script reveals /home/nowhere.com/public_html. Your planned location for wikiconfig.py is /config. You plan to place moin.cgi as /pubic_html/index.py on your webserver. You would have to insert
# choose one: sys.path.insert(0, '/home/nowhere.com/config') # absolute path sys.path.insert(0, '../config') # path relative to moin.cgi
Open moin-1.3.3/wiki/config/wikiconfig.py.
(1) Set the path to your data directory. Try to find
data_dir = './data/'
Replace './data/' with whatever leads to your data directory.
Example: You transfered explore.py with your FTP-client into /public_html on your webserver. Absolute path of this script reveals /home/nowhere.com/public_html. You transfered data to /data. You plan to place moin.cgi as /pubic_html/index.py on your webserver. You would have to insert
# choose one: data_dir = '/home/nowhere.com/data/' # absolute path data_dir = '../data/' # path relative to moin.cgi
(2) Set the path to your underlay directory. Try to find
data_underlay_dir = './underlay/'
Replace './underlay/' with whatever leads to the underlay directory on your webserver.
Example: You transfered explore.py with your FTP-client into /public_html on your webserver. Absolute path of this script reveals /home/nowhere.com/public_html. You transfered underlay to /underlay. You plan to place moin.cgi as /pubic_html/index.py on your webserver. You would have to insert
# choose one: data_underlay_dir = '/home/nowhere.com/data/' # absolute path data_underlay_dir = '../data/' # path relative to moin.cgi
(3) Set the URL of your static files. Try to find
url_prefix = '/wiki'
If you copied your htdocs directory to /wiki under your document root, you don't need to change this.
Example: You placed explore.py under /public_html and called it with http://www.your-domain.com/explore.py. You placed htdocs as /public_html/wiki. So url_prefix is correct as it is, don't change it.
(4) Set configuration options. If you browse through wikiconfig.py, you will see a bunch of options. Set these options as you like. See HelpOnConfiguration for details.
You are done! Upload moin.cgi and wikiconfig.py and test your wiki by calling moin.cgi through your webbrowser. You may have to set file permissions manually to allow the execution of moin.cgi. Be sure to upload both files to the directories described above.
Here is a short summary of an example installation. Having read this document, I hope you see what I did and why I did it.
ftp moin-1.3.3/wiki/data ==> /data ftp moin-1.3.3/wiki/htdocs ==> /wiki ftp moin-1.3.3/wiki/underlay ==> /underlay ftp moin-1.3.3/MoinMoin ==> /MoinMoin ftp create directory /config create moin-1.3.3/.htaccess insert content: deny from all ftp moin-1.3.3/.htaccess ==> /data ftp moin-1.3.3/.htaccess ==> /underlay ftp moin-1.3.3/.htaccess ==> /MoinMoin ftp moin-1.3.3/.htaccess ==> /config edit moin-1.3.3/wiki/server/moin.cgi: replace: #!/usr/bin/env python by: #!/usr/bin/python2.3 replace: ## sys.path.insert(0, 'PREFIX/lib/python2.3/site-packages') by: sys.path.insert(0, '.') replace: sys.path.insert(0, '/path/to/wikiconfig') by: sys.path.insert(0, './config') ftp moin-1.3.3/wiki/server/moin.cgi ==> /moin.py edit moin-1.3.3/wiki/config/wikiconfig.py: set data_dir: data_dir = './data/' set data_underlay_dir: data_underlay_dir = './underlay/' set url_prefix: url_prefix = '/wiki' ftp moin-1.3.3/wiki/config/wikiconfig.py ==> /config/wikiconfig.py
if cat /etc/debian_release shows "3.0", he is running Debian woody, with a python 2.2.1 probably

Now What I'm wondering is this. With download managers (orbit specifically I'm referring to as its the one I've had the most experience with), you can setup so it downloads using multiple threads per download, in-order to say 'increase' the effective download speed.
What I'm wondering here is the same for steam, Although as steam does not support this, does anyone know of a program or something, which can hi-jack as per say the downloads from steam, and say 'create' multiple threads to increase ones effective speed.
I'm curious to know if someone has done this or if it just straight up not possible.

Philadelphia -- GlaxoSmithKline announced today that the company has received four reports of suspect bottles containing 60 tablets of Combivir (lamivudine plus zidovudine) that actually contained another medicine, Ziagen (abacavir sulfate) Tablets. The company has determined that counterfeit labels for Combivir Tablets were placed on two bottles of Ziagen and labels on another two bottles are suspect. Both medicines are used as part of combination regimens to treat HIV infection.
The incidents appear to be isolated and limited in scope. No injuries or adverse reactions have been reported. Company tests have shown no problems with the medicine itself.
GlaxoSmithKline and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration are both investigating. The company also is contacting health-care providers and pharmacists to alert them to the situation and is alerting patients to check their medicine to be sure they have received the correct tablets.
Pharmacists, physicians and patients should immediately examine the contents of each Combivir bottle to confirm they do not contain Ziagen tablets. The two kinds of tablets are easily distinguishable. Combivir is a white capsule-shaped tablet engraved with "GX FC3" on one side; the other side of the tablet is plain. Ziagen is a yellow capsule-shaped tablet engraved with "GX 623" on one face; the other side is plain. The Combivir label shows a color photo of the tablet.
The risk to patients is primarily due to the fact that approximately 5% of individuals who receive abacavir sulfate in Ziagen or Trizivir (abacavir sulfate, lamivudine and zidovudine) Tablets have developed a potentially life-threatening hypersensitivity reaction. Symptoms generally resolve after discontinuing the medication, however, patients who have had a hypersensitivity reaction to Ziagen are advised to never take the medication again. Patients taking Combivir would not have been advised about the hypersensitivity reaction and how to take Ziagen safely because Combivir does not contain abacavir sulfate. Patients who have had a hypersensitivity reaction to abacavir yet take Ziagen or Trizivir again experience more severe symptoms within hours that may include life-threatening hypotension (lowering of the blood pressure) and death. In addition, the replacement of Combivir which contains two antiviral drugs with Ziagen, a single antiviral, may decrease the effectiveness of a patient's treatment regimen.
Patients should always confirm they have the right medication; for patients taking Combivir this is especially important now.
"While we cannot determine the extent of counterfeit labeling, we believe this unfortunate situation can be addressed by watchful pharmacists checking products before dispensing them and careful patients double-checking their medications," said Peter Traber, senior vice president clinical development and medical affairs at GSK. "Both patients and pharmacists can easily recognize the difference between the two tablets and can identify if they have received the wrong medicine before they take it." These steps should minimize the risk to patients.
Involved in the counterfeit labeling cases were 60-count bottles of Combivir Tablets, which contain 150-milligrams of lamivudine and 300 milligrams of zidovudine, and 60-count bottles of 300-milligram tablets of Ziagen.
Patients who have any question about their medicine should take it immediately to their pharmacist to have it checked. Pharmacists with questionable medicine should keep the bottle and report their concerns to GSK at 888-825-5249. Patients with questions should also call 888-825-5249.

Although commonly used to treat blood clots, warfarin (Coumadin, Jantoven) can have dangerous side effects or interactions that can place you at risk of bleeding. Here are precautions to take to avoid warfarin side effects.
If you've been prescribed warfarin (Coumadin, Jantoven) to prevent blood clots, you probably already know that this powerful drug can save your life if you are at risk of or previously had blood clots. But you may not realize how serious warfarin side effects can be.
Warfarin, especially if taken incorrectly, increases your risk of dangerous bleeding. Warfarin side effects can also include interactions with some foods, prescription medicines and over-the-counter supplements.
If your doctor prescribes warfarin for you, make sure you understand all the potential warfarin side effects and interactions it could have.
You might be given warfarin if you have:
When you take warfarin, your blood won't clot as easily. If you accidentally cut yourself while taking warfarin, you may bleed heavily. However, the risk of a major bleeding event is low.
You're more likely to have bleeding problems if you're older than 75 or take other blood-thinning medications that can further increase your bleeding risk.
You're also at higher risk of bleeding problems if you have:
Some studies suggest that bleeding problems are more likely to occur during the first month of taking warfarin rather than later in treatment.
Rarely, warfarin can cause the death of skin tissue (necrosis). This complication occurs most often three to eight days after you start taking warfarin. If you notice any sores, changes in skin color or temperature, or severe pain on your skin, seek immediate medical care.
To reduce your chance of developing warfarin side effects:
Like any other medication, warfarin can interact with foods, other drugs, vitamins or herbal supplements. The interaction might lower the effectiveness of warfarin or increase your risk of bleeding. More than 120 drugs and foods that can interact with warfarin have been identified.
Drugs that can interact with warfarin include:
Many other medications interact with warfarin. Be sure to tell your doctor or pharmacist that you take warfarin.
Supplements that can interact with warfarin include:
Many other supplements can interact with warfarin. Be sure to tell your health care provider about any supplements you take.
Foods and drinks that might interact with warfarin include:
Your doctor might recommend keeping the level of vitamin K in your diet consistent rather than avoiding vitamin K-rich foods altogether.
Never take a double dose of warfarin. Doing so could greatly increase your risk of side effects.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If you don't remember until the next day, call your doctor for instructions. If your doctor isn't available, skip the missed dose and start again the next day.
If you follow your doctor's dosing instructions and tell all your health care providers that you take warfarin, you'll be at a much lower risk of dangerous interactions and side effects. Talk to your doctor, nurse or pharmacist if you have any concerns about warfarin.

Browse Malaysia's best used Peugeot cars from the lowest prices.
The family business that preceded the current Peugeot company was founded in 1810 and produces coffee mills and bicycles. But it wasn't until 1896 where Armand Peugeot built the company's first car, which was an unreliable steam tricycle, this followed by an internal combustion car with a Panhard-Daimler engine in 1890. Unlike its early history, Peugeot is known as a very reliable brand, citing how its 1950s and 1960s models are still running in Africa and Cuba in the 2010s, where Peugeot is called "the lion".
Peugeot received many international awards for its vehicles, including four European Car of the Year awards. In 2013 and 2014, Peugeot ranked the second lowest for average CO2 emissions among generalist brands in Europe, the Renault carmaker group being ranked first, with 114.9g CO2/km.
Peugeot has been involved in motor sport for more than a century. Peugeot Sport won the World Rally Championship five times, the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup twice (2010, 2011), surpassing Toyota and Audi, the World Endurance Championship twice (1992, 1993), and the Intercontinental Rally Challenge Championship three times. Peugeot cars in Malaysia are distributed by Nasim Sdn. Bhd. offering motorists with models like the 208, 2008, 308, 3008, 408, 508, 5008 & RCZ.


text: Just a heads up that I had emailed Bill at BMW about my tail light. I don't think this will come as a surprise to anyone, but he stated that BMW will NOT provide any assistance on this issue. So very disappointing. I cannot fault Bill, as he has been very helpful, but I assume the powers that be have stated this unequivocally. Oh well, no new BMWs in my future!

This year, instead of putting out another tired pot of poinsettias and fake ferns, why not go with something living instead? In fact, winter is a time when many flowers are at their peak, making them a terrific option for holiday decorating.
Better still, living plants clean the indoor air, and when spring comes around, you can often take them outdoors. Besides looking fresh and natural in your home, live plants also make great gifts.
Holiday in white
Some of the most popular potted holiday flowers are paperwhites and cyclamen. Paperwhite bulbs are available in most home and garden centers and are easy to force indoors. Their frosty white color is perfect for the Hanukkah table ($29, Harryanddavid.com).
Cyclamen also come in a variety of colors from white to pale pink and deep fuchsia, making them a flexible choice. FTD offers a beautiful gold container of white cyclamen that would look beautiful right through winter ($29, FTD.com).
Other choices for white flowers include jasmine and gardenia plants. Their waxy, dark green leaves and scented blooms will drive the winter chill out of your house and both can be planted outdoors once the seasons change. The last bloom to consider? An orchid. These plants get a bad reputation for being delicate, but they really aren't difficult to maintain. A window with indirect light and once-a-week watering keeps their big blossoms happy.
Turn up the heat
If traditional red is the color you're looking for, there's a wide range of plants to choose from. Christmas cactus is always a good choice. These plants are hardy, love the indoors, and they're stingy drinkers. Try a cheery red-and-white version with candy cane coloring ($59.95, JacksonandPerkins.com) for a truly holiday feel.
If big, bold flowers are more your style, nothing tops amaryllis. Usually grouped as three or more blossoms, these showy flowers steal the show. Find them now at your local garden or home center, or order online. Another good choice that can easily make the transition from house to patio is kalanchoe. These plants come in a variety of colors, look wonderful with holiday decor and are easy care.
Go green
Of course, not all plants have to be blooming or showy to add a warm and inviting touch to your rooms. Simple cedar, juniper, or rosemary plants have a holiday look and add a nice spot of green. Try a small trio of potted juniper plants. Add burlap coverings and red bows for the pots, and you're all set.
Of course, all kinds of trees can be purchased live, from spruce and pine to fir and cedar. The smell is incredible.
Still other options are wreaths made of eucalyptus, olive branches, or bay leaves ($49, proflowers.com). Try a miniature citrus tree, such as a Meyer lemon, blood orange or kumquat. Two-year-old, 2-foot-high trees run about $40 and do well indoors (fourwindsgrowers.com).

First off, I'd like to say my thanks to DR for inventing this system, even if it does seem kind of simple now.

This is my fuel mix over water compression tank for use on my next project. As you can see, the hybrid is going to be kind of small. The chamber is 8" of SCH-80 1-1/4" seamless steel pipe.
The tank is made up of 12" of 2" SCH-40 PVC, with an endcap on the front and a threaded adapter and male plug on the back. The meter consists of a 1/4" x 6" SCH-40 steel pipe nipple which can fuel the tank up to a 2x/2 atm mix. I also added a small drain cock at the bottom to drain water after filling.
The water input is going to be from a modified bike pump with an input from a 2 liter camelback bladder work in a backpack. I don't want to use a garden hose, but if I have to, I've got a swivel female garden hose x 1/4" MNPT adapter I made.
I decided to fill the tank to 2 atmospheres for two reasons:
1.) I didn't want a huge 3" tank
2.) I need a way to mix the fuel mixture. A fan would get water in it, so I figured the injected air compressing it to a 2x/2 atm mix would mix the mixture good enough.
As you can also see, I don't have a Schrader added yet for air injection. I'm going to wait till I order all the steel from McMaster and get a threaded one from there.
Tell me what you think!

The Haltom City, Texas police department's built the first patrol car out of a new Camaro SS. They could've just added a light bar. Instead, they worked with a local Texas custom shop to build one epically cool patrol car.
We've seen a fanboy rendering of a new Police Camaro and we know there are a few unmarked 2010 Camaro police cars running around Florida, but this is the first fully marked Camaro SS we've seen since the fourth generation.
Haltom City Police commissioned Classic Chevrolet of Grapevine, Texas to build this one-of-a-kind Camaro SS police car complete with an LED bar on top, embedded bar in the rear window and our favorite piece: a blue light strip embedded behind the muscle car's devious grin.
The use of classic white-on-black screams authority, but the all-clear LED bar on the roof and lack of other markings keep it relatively subtle and stealthy. The designers were smart not to try and augment what's already a mean-looking machine.
At this point, we're going to drive to Haltom City and use Trapster to find the speedtraps just to get pulled over.
Special thanks to Classic Chevrolet for the pictures!

R20 reader and Lagos resident "Kritz" sends this photo of the front page of today's edition of The Daily Sun, the largest circulation newspaper in Nigeria.
The headline warns "Homosexuals in Trouble" and reports on Tuesday's Senate vote on the extreme anti-gay legislation. The draconian bill proposed in Africa's most populous nation goes beyond merely banning same-sex marriage—which is already illegal—and would ban same sex relationships, ban same sex couples from living together, ban pro-LGBT websites or groups and prosecute their friends or human rights activists.
It also goes beyond the original bill to mandate even harsher punishment for these "offenses."
Senate yesterday brushed aside threats from Britain to cut aids to African countries that violate the rights of gays and lesbians by passing a bill which criminalises same sex marriage. The lawmakers unanimously approved a 14-year jail term for perpetrators, four years more than the recommended punishment from the Senator Umaru Dahiru-led Committee on Judiciary and Human Rights.
Senate considered the Bill for an Act to prohibit marriage or civil union entered into between persons of same sex, solemnization of same and for other matters related therewith on Tuesday.
Sub-sections 2 and 3 also stipulate fines for any person who either operates or participates in gay marriages as well as spell out punishment and fines for witnesses. "Any person who registers, operates or participates in gay clubs, societies and organisations or directly or indirectly make public show of same sex amorous relationship in Nigeria commits an offence and shall each be liable on conviction to a term of 10 years in prison."
Under existing federal law, sodomy is punishable by jail. Twelve Islamic states in northern Nigeria have introduced the draconian Sharia law that has sentenced several gays to death. These sentences have never been enforced.
Since 2007, the National Assembly has twice proposed extreme anti-gay legislation, but the bills have stalled under international pressure. Previous versions of the bill banned gays from meeting, living together , reading LGBT websites or even going out to dinner.
At least 32 of Africa's 54 nations currently have laws penalizing same-sex relations or even sexuality. Three nations—Mauritania, Nigeria and Sudan—boast the death penalty for gays or same-sex activity. South Africa is the continent's only nation that guarantees LGBT protections and marriage equality.
State Department and White House have not commented on this legislation. The United States imports 10 percent of its oil from Nigeria. "The U.S. remains Nigeria's largest customer for crude oil, accounting for 40% of the country's total oil exports," per the Nigerian Ministry of Petroleum Resources.

Here is what I call one cool looking character from the Marvel Comic book series. I was trying to think of some cool characters that would make awesome lessons when broken down in an easy fashion. After raking my brain, I remembered what someone suggested. A member suggested that I make a tutorial on "how to draw Deadpool easy", step by step. As some of you may know there is a movie coming out that is going to be dedicated to Deadpool some time in 2014. Ryan Reynolds will stay playing the lead of Wade Wilson, and not for nothing, but I think he makes a great Deadpool. I think it's because of his body build and sense of personality. I tried drawing Deadpool as he looks in the comic books and overall I think I may have achieved that goal. Now it's your turn to tackle the task of drawing Deadpool using this easy step by step tutorial. I am going to love seeing some of the artwork from others based on these characters. I shall return so stick around. Adios people and enjoy!
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!
