README.linux - Perl version 5 on Linux systemsDESCRIPTION
This document describes various features of Linux that will affect how Perl version 5 (hereafter just Perl) is compiled and/or runs.Experimental Support for Sun Studio Compilers for Linux OS
Sun Microsystems has released a port of their Sun Studio compiliers for Linux. As of November 2005, only an alpha version has been released. Until a release of these compilers is made, support for compiling Perl with these compiler experimental.Also, some special instructions for building Perl with Sun Studio on Linux. Following the normal "Configure", you have to run make as follows:
LDLOADLIBS=-lc make
"LDLOADLIBS" is an environment variable used by the linker to link modules "/ext" modules to glibc. Currently, that environment variable is not getting populated by a combination of "Config" entries and "ExtUtil::MakeMaker". While there may be a bug somewhere in Perl's configuration or "ExtUtil::MakeMaker" causing the problem, the most likely cause is an incomplete understanding of Sun Studio by this author. Further investigation is needed to get this working better.

Subject | ODT plugin fix for ordered lists |
Date | Thu, 28 Feb 2008 10:07:51 GMT |
Hi, I've just started using the OpenOffice ODT plugin and it works pretty well! I noticed that numbered and bulleted lists were both rendered as unordered lists, even using the SVN head revision. I think I've found the problem in odt_to_xhtml.xsl: <!-- Now select the <text:list-level-style-foo> element at this level of nesting for this list --> <xsl:variable name="node" select="key('listTypes', $listClass)/*[@text:level='$level']"/> '$level' should not be quoted: <xsl:variable name="node" select="key('listTypes', $listClass)/*[@text:level=$level]"/> -- Derek _______________________________________________________________________ Paremus Limited.

This was actually perfect, because I am on a mission to use all of the tools I have bought over the years, that are just gathering dust. Since I had the hair, I decided to start with my reroot tool.
This is a reroot tool. There are other kinds. I got this one from my hairdresser about 8 yrs ago. It was tucked away nicely, waiting for me to do something with it.

Donaji & the Magical Poncho
This is the story of a fearless girl and her encounter with the wicked cold wind god
4.32 / 5.00 5,776 ViewsThis is my first sprite movie i ever done. it took me about 2 weeks or so to make just trying to learn all the stuff. but anyways i hope you enjoy it. and sorry about the sound quality. i had to really compress it to make it fit on here.
Like this flash alot.
By the way what was the second song that was playing durning the fight where Samus's suit was gray?
Everyone, stop complaining about Ryu being able to defeat samus with a bit of difficulty. Some people just want to see samus win a fight.
A deja vu of my first Flash
You know. You reminded me of myself when I first uploaded my first Flash here. My movie met with mixed reviews, and you;re was ok. Funny at the beginning with the characters and all. But, what would have made it a lot cool is if you used a V-Cam for a better view. The same thing they told me about my first Flash.
Second of all, you should find some V-Cam tutorials, and speed up your frames to make it into movie quality, also practice with ActionScript, and if you see Alvin-Earthworm's, Super Mario Bros Z, you'll know what I'm talking about.
Overall, good job. 9/10 for you.
A flash where that Ryu gets pummelled.ha
I've been waiting to see that bastard lose.
I can't understand what does everybody see in that guy.
Oh,yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it's good
i liked it but ryu should have lasted longer......
ps: what the HELL was link doing to mario???
he was getting his freak on. and dont get me wrong, im a huge Zelda fan. i just thought it would be funny.

One of Kim's colleagues is also an artist who melts down beer and wine bottles (see an example of her work in the picture). The bottles are great decorations - ours is in the kitchen (of course!).
We've had the bottle for a couple of years and enjoyed it, but recently we expanded the collaboration, since she had some dark beer that she didn't like, but she wanted the bottles for decorations. So, she asked us if we would be willing to drink the beer - are you kidding? Free beer? Of course we said yes. She will take any wine bottle we drink, so now we won't need to recycle wine bottles any more.
Partnerships are great!

She's here!
97 comments:
Congratulations! I had been checking your blog waiting to meet little Elsa! She is precious! I hope that you adjust to the new sleep schedule quickly (we have a 2 year old and a 1 month old). I know I will miss your posts, but time with your family is WAY more important!!! Enjoy your summer! :D
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!!! Many-many hugs from Belarus!! I wish you good summer holidays!!! Have a good time with your 3 children! My little one arrived on 17 of May. I'll be waiting for September to learn how to entertain my boy, because I find you an excellent mother!
Good wishes to your family!
Aljonushka from faraway Belarus.at first I hated the name but the more I read it on your blog and of course now seeing how beautiful she is I am in love with her name lol congrats! cherish every moment you all have been waiting a long time for her to finally come! o and have the best summer going from two to three isn't to bad at all :P
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Cheri!! She is such a doll! You're going to love having a girl after 2 boys (same as me). My daughter is almost 4 now, and I still am in awe that I actually have a girl to dress up and play with! And give Baden some time- my second son has the most amazing relationship with his little sister, so hopefully you'll see the same!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, it's so exciting to see those pictures, as I've been following your pregnancy I've been just behind you in my pregnancy. Looking at those pictures reminds me of how little time I have left until I'll be holding my little on in my arms. Only 4 weeks to go (give or take). I'm so excited, I picture my little one with lot's of Auburn hair just like her daddy had when he was born... Here's hoping! Have a fun summer! Not going to lie I'll miss your blog for the summer, but I'm glad you're taking the time to relax and get into the swing of things as a family of 5! Take care of yourself momma... and like everyone keeps telling me sleep sleep sleep when you can!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! She is beautiful! Ten years ago, I finally had a girl after having 2 boys, and we also named her Elsa. Our Elsa looked just liked I pictured her as well. I imagined a little blonde headed girl bouncing around the house at about age 2-3. Yep, that's what I got. She is now 10 and beautiful.
Have fun with your little girl!I can hardly wait to see that baby girl and hear what you have been up to! I think she looks like Rex in this baby shot so I'm excited to see if that has changed. I'm also excited to hear what you think about having a girl, do you feel it's different? I'm glad you took this time off to love on all three of those babies, but I'm ready for some momma roar!
Thank you so much for leaving a comment! If you are asking a question and you do NOT have your profile linked to your email address, I will respond in the comment section, so just come back to check it later. Thanks!

Blurring The Lines
Charter, Public, Private and Religious Schools Come Together
Janet D. Mulvey
Bruce S. Cooper, Fordham University
Arthur T. Maloney
A volume in the series: Politics of Education Book Series. Editor(s): Lora Cohen-Vogel. Bruce S. Cooper, Fordham University. Bonnie Fusarelli, North Carolina State University.
Published 2010
This book, Blurring the Lines, has immediate appeal to policy-makers, and analysis in public and private sectors, as well as legal scholars and practitioners. It will be of interest, too, to university teachers working in the areas of "School Law," "School Policy and Politics," and "New Trends in American K-12 Education." The book treats the complex and interesting issues of Church-State and Public-Private education, the two great changing cross-road in US education.
1. Public Purposes, Private and Religious Methods: Past to Present. 2. Blurring Everywhere: Cases in Point. 3. Catholic-Related Charter Schools: Supporting Parish Schools for Survival. 4. Florida Hebrew Charter School Challenges the Boundaries: The Ben Gamla School. 5. Minnesota Islamic Charter School Blurs the Line: The Case of the Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy (TiZA) Thomas Maeglin. 6. Ethnically-Based Charter Schools and Racial Separation: The Aims of Education. 7. Protestants, Evangelicals and the Charter School Movement. 8. The Orthodox Jewish Community: Kiryas Joel Union Free School District. 9. Faith and Education: Implications for Public Policy. 10. Where to Now? Clearer or Blurrier? Implications for the Future
" With the rise of religiously-affiliated charter schools hither and yon, the line separating secular and sectarian education is increasingly murky. Are these schools a beachhead for valuable cultural, linguistic, and ethnic learning? Or are they a backdoor entry into state-sponsored religion? This thoughtful book explores this complex terrain and emerges with a rather cloudy answer: "The combination of dramatic public policy initiatives proclaiming charter schools as the answer to genuine school reform, relaxed public attitudes to the separation issue, and apparent judicial confusion regarding the wall of separation have left us with standards which are barely discernable." To prove their point, the authors offer case studies of a Catholic charter school that rents space from the local archdiocese, a Hebrew charter school that offers a "modern Jewish education," and another with an Islamic dress code. Stepping away from sectarian schools, the authors also question ethnically-based charter schools. Is a charter school that teaches Arabic culture, including the Qu'ran, too religious? What about one that uses the Bible as a key text? Debates over religious instruction in public schools have raged pretty much since Horace Mann; this book further stokes that fiery conversation."

What is this I don't even...
Ran across an incredibly scary video of some "training" recently. No idea what company this is, but I cringed and winced even before they started getting dangerous. Just a little reminder to append "quality" before the "training" when giving a newbie the advice to get trained if they want to get armed.

I thought it was a "bit" ludicrous watching it, thinking it was a team training together... Then I read and saw it was a class. Holy christ, I wouldn't train like that with my best buds knowing their crap, let alone some random moron with too much money. Wow, nice find here.

What was with the 2 guys spinning and shooting at a target the other was already facing? or falling down shooting while a guy behind you is shooting?
Is this common now in these training classes? |

I know a megalomaniac when I hear one.
Bill Beasley is a megalomaniac. Only an ego maniac would be so out of touch with reality that they actually would reach this point. It requires extreme hubris to come up with schemes like this. Eventually someone will get killed at American Defense Enterprises, and they will get sued, the whole thing will come apart like a house of cards when actual firearms instructors testify to the gross stupidity that occurred at ADE. I also think that will be the time when it will come out that these so called instructors lack credibility and have no qualifications to be training others. |

It's like Band Camp,,,
I have a friend who is an NRA certified instructor,,,
He was talking a while back about Recreational Training Schools. Those were his words. Apparently people all over the nation are setting up training classes,,, Sort of like a weekend at Disneyland but with guns,,, Their purpose is to entertain rather than train,,, They are commercial outfits out after a buck. Just think how empowered you would feel,,, After a weekend of spinning with and shooting your guns. I really didn't mean for that to be as sarcastic as it will read,,, But the problem is that a normal person has no sure way of knowing,,, If the school he is looking at is a good school or one run by mall commandos. Heck, I have two college degrees,,, Both of them in occupational education,,, My credentials would look good on a website. All I have to do is brush cut my hair and buy some black t-shirts. Dang!,,, There's my retirement business. Aarond Aarond

I can't find it (google-fu broken) but have you seen the videos of the Romanians or or some secret police agency shooting at boards held by hand or between the legs of their comrades? That makes these mall ninja moves look safe.

I was laughing until I saw them crossing in front of each other while bullets were going downrange, and the "tactical fall while your buddy shoots them" crap. Then it just made me very angry that someone would try to tell people to do this on the street.

oh man. I had to watch this twice. My brain could not register what was happening. The handheld camera in the live fire room was priceless. Nothing like a bunch of students with live rounds running at you shooting.

Now I know what "tactical" means.
I also understand why I detest the very term.

The Benny Hill music, title "Do not do this" and being categorized as "comedy" didn't get noticed by anyone else?

The Benny Hill music was classic - the only thing it lacked was a huge chested woman busting out of her brazzier being chased by an old man...

Watching this sends chills up my spine. Their grip, form and muzzle control needs work. You would think they would have these perfected doing this "training", but I guess that is too boring. That is a great grip at 1:40 - NOT. Makes you wonder how scary is the firearm handling of the other students who did not make the video.

I took a look at their website. It appears the people in the video are the instructors. That makes things even scarier.

Deirdre David has written a sympathetic, cogent and illuminating account of a writer's progress. It's a remarkable story. The young Olivia Manning had nothing but her own talent and determination to get her out of lower-middle-class Portsmouth, and into a literary milieu in 1930s London.
By the mid-1950s, author of well-regarded novels and stories, a hostess in St John's Wood, she enjoyed a glittering life. In the interim had come the wartime sojourns in Bucharest, Athens, Cairo and Palestine that would later go into her most significant works. The Balkan Trilogy (1960-65) and The Levant Trilogy (1977-80), with their compelling blend of fiction, autobiography and documentation, add up to an outstanding achievement. Against the odds, their author had found herself in the right place, at the right time.
Manning considered herself unjustly underrated as a novelist, not entirely without cause. But she received more acclaim than she was willing to acknowledge. Her work was called "flawless", of an "exemplary lucidity and assurance". She was awarded a CBE. None of it was enough. She never made the Booker shortlist; and it drove her mad to watch "lesser" authors, such as Muriel Spark, Iris Murdoch and Edna O'Brien, get all the praise and attention. This aspect of Manning's personality, her voluble resentment of others' success, is the most unlikeable thing about her.
She alienated a lot of people, but some friends never wavered in their loyalty. Nor did her husband, BBC producer Reggie Smith, whose intellectual support was among the blessings of her life. Not that the marriage was especially straightforward. It began impulsively, in 1939, when the couple had known one another for only three weeks; Olivia was soon dismayed to observe Reggie's "indiscriminate geniality", which acted to displace her from the position she craved at the centre of his existence. There were many infidelities on both sides. But the marriage endured – and without either going in for recrimination.

59 postsJumping out of a heavily-nested loop not by using goto statement?
Is there a way to jump of out a heavily-nested loop not by using goto statement? Since most people would agree that goto statement is evil, and it will easily destory a program's structure, so, I want to stay away from it. However, to my surprise, there is really no easy and effective way to jump out of a heavily-nested loop not by using it.
Thanks -
Goto is only evil if used incorrectly. I have no problem using it to break out of a nested loop. Actually it's the only place I would use it..
Hmm... lets think about this
goto == bad programming
heavily nested loop == far worse programming
Don't use goto... fix your code! -
no offense, but I agree with bitzero
Jake -
Well, if you've been programming for a while, you will know that at least 3-nested loop is a common practice:
// in C/C++ and most other languages
for(; {
Java does not have goto statement at all, but in order to jump out of a several-nested loop, Java has a smart extended break statement, it works like this:
System.out.println("Before break.");
break second;
System.out.println("This won't execute.");
System.out.println("after second block.");
As we see, it does the job of breaking out of a loop, and it won't have the problem of goto statment which will easily destroy a program's structure. Jave really is a great language, if only it was a system language like C/C++.
Unfortunately, C# does not have this smart label-break statement, and still continue supports goto.
I hope C# 2 will give us something like that.
It doesn't AFAIK. Maybe C# 3.0.

I'd rather they didn't include it and got rid of goto.
Both lead to messy, unreadable code and both can be avoided if you take time to structure the code better. -
I'd say that you need to refactor your code, as in extract a method from one of the inner loops.
That way it is easy to break out of the loop; just return; (Exit Sub/Function)
"Well, if you've been programming for a while, you will know that at least 3-nested loop is a common practice:"
hmm.. NO... I actually have been programming for a while - in fact I have for the last 10 years been employed in various places as a senior architect/mentor, to instruct and set coding policy across the enterprise..
And I would shoot anyone who nested a loop under any circumstances - let alone three levels, and especially if you plan on exiting from it!
Loops come in two forms : processing loops (ie for every value we want to do something) - and search loops (we want to go through until we find something)
Processing loops should always take the following form:
for (expression)
g( value )
And Search loops should always be
for (expression)
if (condition)
return value;
throw exception | return null
the only possible exception would be if you are doing some sort of computer graphics app, where I would tolerate a (for y) (for x) nesting, because the inner loop is likely to be quite simple and the structure makes more sense as an entirety. That IS NOT the case if for instance you are adding a matrix of values to a grid, where it makes more readable sense to have an AddRow function which works on a single object.
Well bitzero,
Thank you for your reply. First, let get this straight, in the topic, I said ....not by using goto statement. I'm searching for an alternative style to code, since I really don't want to use use goto at all.
Refactoring is one alternative method like Rudi said, and I will try to avoid nested loop, but I don't think it will be easy, but I will try my best.
However, no one ever said nested loop is wrong, for example, I don't think you can produce the output result like this not by using nested loop:
. .
. . .
. . . .
. . . . .
. . . .
. . .
. .
Well, I'm not saying impossible, but if you know an alternative method, I would be interested. However, since you are more experienced than me, no doubt about it, would you share your thought.
ok - partially I'm being funny - but there is a point there too. There is always a better way. -
I think it's hilarious that so many programmers are afraid of goto.
Sometimes they provide a very elegant way to handle a task,
and I'm not just talking about breaking out of loops.
You can also use them to replace your loops for optimization.
I _think_ that was listed in "The Zen of Code Optimization" by
Michael Abrash, but don't really recall the source.
Goto is a tool. It is not evil in itself...
If you've ever programmed in assembler, you'd know that
every comparison that you make results in a goto... (ie, jmp)
cryoknight: I used to program in assembler for years, in fact if you go to http://www.eskimo.com/~rwb/junk/prime.txt or download bmagic1b.zip - you'll see that I used to actually compete in it..
and yet I'm scared of goto's
We are using high-level languages that don't NEED them. As you mention - every conditional, every looping construct we have results in a jump... Which means we have lots of alternatives!
I am not scared of goto's per se - I'm scared of the thinking that might lead a programmer using a high level language to use one - because neither structured thinking / oo thinking nor functional thinking can result in you concluding that you need one!
Goto's are wrong not because the underlying construct is flawed, but because we exist in a world now where process flow should be a structured hierarchy - where ALL complexity should be encapsulated in our class definitions, and where we have NO NEED for an explict reposition of the instruction pointer! -
cryoknight wrote:

TheProgrammer replies:
50s-70s programmers love GOTO, then until 80s, they realized that GOTO was dangerous, and they began writing papers talking about how bad GOTO was. Some of the papers were read by Professors in Universities, some of them actually became Professors.
Then, 90s-20s programmers/future programmers are taught by those 50s-70s programmer Professors, and they are taught in a sense that GOTO is evil.
Me, being a 20s future programmer, are actually taught by those kind of Professors. To me, I will agree with them, for now. But think about it, they have more experience than us, we should listen to them. -
TheProgrammer wrote:
I think being afraid of goto is not only funny, but trying to turn everything into a class/object hierarchy is almost as extreme. Things have to be taken on a case-by-case basis (although I have not used goto in over a decade). The great thing about programming is that there are many solutions to the same problem...you could use a while loop, a for loop, a do-while loop, recursion, etc. Each option has its own tradeoffs and faults. Clarity of code, functionality and efficiency are far more important, however. There are plenty of ways to lose people when you start using multiple inheritance like there is no tomorrow, or start putting in goto statements everywhere. -
cryoknight wrote:

That's a totally different environment though, if your writing assembler you don't get the luxury of structured code.
Goto's are evil. They make code difficult to follow (even when used very sparingly) and they tend to break a compilers ability to optimise the code (some compilers won't even try to optimise a function containing a goto) -
Rudi wrote:I'd say that you need to refactor your code, as in extract a method from one of the inner loops.

That in itself doesn't solve the problem of control flow out of the inner loop.
As I recall, the last time I used a goto in shipping production code was in a small parser written back in 1993 or 1994. In C++, no less. It was not evil. It was easy to read and maintain. I would defend its use in that code even today. But I would prefer to have had Java's break label syntax available.
Funny how people get religious about language features....
static bool firstCondition = true;
static bool secondCondition = true;
static bool thirdcondition = ture;
void iAmACarzyNestedLoop()
return 0;

Whether you are from the South, the North, Europe, Australia… OR you're an alien from outer space- you NEED to try these Southern Style Green Beans. They are melt-in-your mouth delicious- super savory, slightly smoky, and the perfect side that will meet your craving for comfort food (while still being 100% real/unprocessed!).
The special ingredient that makes these extra decadent and delicious? BACON. Mmmm. Bacon. I do not believe there is anything tastier on the face of the planet than bacon.
The second secret ingredient that makes these extra scrumptious? Chicken stock. It adds a whole other level of super awesome amazing flavor that makes these green beans hard to stop eating.
Oh, and they are so, so easy to make! And use only four ingredients! Hip hip, hooray!
Basically, you need to stop everything you are doing right now and go make these. (But first read the rest of this post.)
OK I know- bacon isn't the healthiest thing in the world. But green beans on the other hand? Super healthy. High in vitamin K, manganese, and fiber, as well as being a little-known source of beta-carotene! You know, the stuff found in bright orange veggies like carrots.
I love fresh green beans simply steamed and topped with some salt, pepper, and olive oil or butter- try that if you're looking for lighter green bean fare. But if you're looking for a life-changing green bean experience (who isn't, really?) these Southern Style Green Beans are where it's at….

Charles Dorian
this wiki
- "Your father was an Assassin, Arno. He gave his life fighting for the liberty of all mankind."
- ―Pierre Bellec describing Charles to his son, 1789.[src]
Charles Dorian (unknown – 1776) was a member of the French Brotherhood of the Assassin Order. Formerly apprenticed to Master Assassin Pierre Bellec, Charles was entrusted with protecting an ancient artifact known as the Precursor box in 1776, but was assassinated shortly after. He is an ancestor of Callum Lynch.[1]
His son, Arno, later followed in his father's footsteps and became a notable figure of the Assassin Brotherhood during the French Revolution, eventually gaining the rank of Master Assassin himself.
Charles was born into a minor noble house and also an old Assassin family.[2] At some point before 1768, Charles married an Austrian woman named Marie, and the two eventually had a son called Arno. As his ancestors, Charles had joined the Assassin Order and was trained by Pierre Bellec, a future member of the Assassin Council. During his training, Charles also learned of the Colonial Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton, who had dealt a striking blow to the Colonial Rite of the Templar Order during the American Revolutionary War.[3]
While on a mission, Charles came into conflict with a Templar. Bellec came to his aid and killed the assailant, giving Charles his pocket watch afterwards, and told him to return home to his son.[3]
However, once Marie discovered Charles' allegiance to the Assassins, she left him, leaving Charles to raise Arno by himself. During this period of Arno's early childhood, Charles took him traveling around Europe and North Africa.[3]
In 1776, Charles, accompanied by Arno, attended an Assassin meeting at the Palace of Versailles. Pretending to be wool merchants gathering for a business meeting, the Assassins entrusted Charles with protecting the Precursor box.[4]
However, as Charles searched for his son following the meeting, he was assassinated by the Templar Shay Cormac. As he died, Charles told Shay that the American Revolution had undone the Templars' work in the newly-formed United States of America. Shay suggested that the Templars could stage another revolution, in order to restore the balance of power between the two factions. As Shay disappeared from the scene, Charles collapsed onto the floor, dead.[4]
Following Charles' murder, Arno was adopted by the Templar Grand Master François de la Serre.[3] In order to cope with the loss of his father, Arno would write letters to Charles, at the suggestion of de la Serre.[5]
- Charles' watch possessed an engraved Assassin insignia on its cover. Additionally, he carried a pendant at his chest in the shape of the insignia.
- In Assassin's Creed: Rogue, Charles Dorian is the only assassination target of Shay who does not share his last words with him in the Memory Corridor.

14 comments:
Sorry, Lil E. It was sitting behind me and VERY close, so it was difficult to point it out, and by the time we left I had my mind on chakra alignment. Many apologies. I'll buy you some mango lemonade to make up for it.
And I think I would've rather put off the feeling like a loser until tomorrow, but I figured after the proverbial nut crunch of writing those abstracts, I might as well get it done today and start fresh tomorrow.You know... there are easier ways to carry on a conversation. Like... ones that don't require word verification, dammit!!! At least mine (viomk) is easy. I can actually read it. Oh, and man-twats. My newest most favoritist expression. Bless you. And I might do the meme thingy. Maybe. Hmm....
ReplyDeleteYou father's middle name is Eris? hum, very interesting. Did you know that Eris is the Greek Goddess of strife? Does this mean anything to you?
Ok, last night the moon was fabulously beautiful and so I got the "bowl" out and sat under the moon and sent you some cool chakra waves, so all should be well now. You should have seen Hallow's Eve, I think he was a little freaked by the whole thing. He kept climbing in my lap, meowing, and looking at the bowl. I have tried to translate his utterings and came up with "Hey amateur, you don't know what kind of powers you are messin' with" or "cut out all the racket."
Yes, I too missed the man with the lobster bib at the Indian restaurant-what does it all mean Andi?Jeremy,
Fantastic idea!
Sam, we're all insomniac nerds, so word verification doesn't frighten us a bit! Feel free to use man-twats whenever you want. Just cuz it's you. Post yours, post yours! Can't wait. I'm sure it's hilawwwrious.
Fem, I wrote that wrong. It's my grandfather's first name, my mom's middle name, and actually my cousin's middle name, too. The strife part means nothing to me. Maybe it's an unconscious commentary on our collective character. Fun times with the bowl! I knew my chakras felt slimmer today.

Mayor Muoio proclaims April "Water Conservation Month". Mayor Jeri Muoio....challenges residents to conserve water during the 6th annual Wyland National Mayor's Challenge for Water Conservation.
The more the state and Palm Beach County try to run State Road 7 through Grassy Waters Everglades Preserve, the more it will cost the city to fight it.
Grassy Waters Preserve is a 23 square mile wetlands ecosystem that serves as the freshwater supply for the City of West Palm Beach and the towns of South Palm Beach and Palm Beach Island. Historically, Grassy Waters was both a key component of the Greater Everglades watershed and the headwaters of the Northwest Fork of the Loxahatchee River.
Although human needs have lead to severe alterations to the flow of water through South Florida, Grassy Waters Preserve remains a pristine remnant of the once great Everglades system. A mosaic of wetlands, tree islands, and forested hammocks, Grassy Waters Preserve is home to a variety of native wildlife. Commonly sighted species including the everglades snail kite, wood stork, white ibis, great blue heron, white tailed deer, otter, bobcat, and alligator.
In addition to meeting local demands for freshwater, Grassy Waters Preserve also provides hands-on educational experiences for learners of all ages. Access to this historic wetland reconnects visitors with the natural heritage of West Palm Beach. Trails of varying lengths and difficulties are accessible to the public free of charge. Experienced naturalists also provide guided canoe and hiking programs for the public, merit badge programs for scouts, and free field trips for local schools.
The continued pristine beauty of Grassy Waters Preserve is thanks to the Department of Public Utilities Watershed Management Division. The Watershed Management Division is dedicated to protect, preserve and restore the ecological integrity of Grassy Waters Preserve by preventing the proliferation of invasive species, promoting best management practices in water quality and conservation, and educating the public about he importance of this ecosystem.
Do your part to protect this wetland resource by adopting responsible water use practices. Remember you are depended upon the Preserve for water and the Preserve is dependent upon you for protection. Please help to ensure that Grassy Waters Preserve continues to meet both human and ecological freshwater needs for generations to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do we have to file a will with the court?
Probate Code section 8200(a) states that unless a petition for probate of the will is earlier filed, the custodian of a will shall, within 30 days after having knowledge of the death of the testator do the following: 1) deliver the will to the clerk of the superior court, and 2) mail a copy to the person named in the will as executor. We call this process "depositing a will for safekeeping". A receipt will be given to the person delivering a will at the time it is deposited with the court. Certified copies of the will may be obtained at any time once the will has been deposited with the court.
If a petition for probate is filed, the will should accompany the petition. Wills and probate cases are of great interest to genealogists. These documents are kept permanently by the court and are eventually transferred from paper to microfilm.
- Graduated filing fees for PROBATE cases
Repealled on 4-1-08 (See Burkey v. State of California Appeal case #B-197307).
- How do I get a hearing date on the probate calendar?
Dates for initial petitions for conservatorships and for conservatorship accountings are provided by the Probate Court Investigators Office by calling (707) 521-6586. Your papers must be filed by the close of business on the 22nd day (a Wednesday) prior to the hearing. For all other probate matters you may select your own date following this rule: The Probate Calendar is heard each week on Thursday. Normally, notice requirements for probate filings are 22 days from the date of filing to the hearing date. Pick a Thursday and then count backwards 22 days for the Notice of Hearing paperwork to be served. Do not forget to allow an extra day if there is a holiday during the 22 days.

- How do you get a legal name change?
In order to legally change your name a judge must sign an order granting your request for change of name. This happens in one of two ways:
- You wish to change your name for a reason other than divorce:
A petition for change of name must be filed with the court and notice published in an adjudicated newspaper. This process takes 6 to 8 weeks to complete. Forms for this purpose along with some information are located here. - A divorce has been granted and you wish to return to a name used prior to your marriage:
Complete Judicial Council form FL-395. Give the completed form to the court for processing in your divorce case. There is a nominal fee required for processing the order, however this is much quicker and less expensive than filing a petition for change of name. Be sure to include 2 copies of your completed form and a self addressed, stamped envelope so we can return your signed order to you. You may wish to include fees for certified copies. ($15.00 to certify + $.50 per page to copy) Click here to access a copy of form FL-395 which you may fill in: http://www.courts.ca.gov/xbcr/cc/fl395.pdf
If you need additional information about changing your name, click here: http://www.courts.ca.gov/xbcr/cc/fl395.pdf
- You wish to change your name for a reason other than divorce:
- How much is a certified copy?
$25.00 to certify the document plus $0.50 per page to copy.
- What does one do to become Executor? How do I get Letters Testamentary?
In order to become an Executor, several things must happen.
- The will must nominate a person to act as Executor;
- A petition for probate must be filed asking the court to admit the will for probate and to appoint the nominated Executor to act.
- A judge must grant the petition for probate.
Letters Testamentary is the document giving the executor the power to act when marshalling the assets, paying the creditors and distributing the remaining assets. Letters will be issued after a judge has signed an order granting the petition for probate. You can learn more about probate at: http://www.courts.ca.gov/partners/equalaccess.htm
- What is Probate?
Probate is the court-supervised process for identifying and gathering the decedent's assets, paying taxes, debts and expenses and then distributing the balance to beneficiaries.
A petition for probate is generally required when the gross value of the estate exceeds $100,000 and there is no (1) surviving spouse, or (2) there is a surviving spouse who is not the sole beneficiary or is receiving the property in a trust.
The estate can be intestate or testate. Special terms relate to each of these.
Testate = A Will exists – assets pass to devisees pursuant to terms of the will
- Persons who inherit are called Devisees
- The person administering the estate is called an Executor
- The document giving the Executor the power to act is called Letters Testamentary
Intestate = No will exists – assets pass to heirs pursuant to state law
- Persons who inherit are called heirs
- The person administering the estate is called an Administrator
- The document giving the Administrator the power to act is called Letters of Administration
- What is the minimum monetary requirement for filing a probate? Do we have to file a probate?
In general, an estate with a gross value of less than $100,000 does not require a formal probate proceeding. There are summary procedures that may be used in certain instances. As with most other things in life, there are exceptions. An attorney is the best person to answer this question.
- Where can I get a list of the adjudicated newspapers?
The County Clerk maintains the list of adjudicated newspapers. Click here to access the list: http://www.sonoma-county.org/Clerk/HTML_Documents/Search/Frameset_Search.htm
- Why do I have to publish in a newspaper?
The legislature has determined that publication is an effective means of giving notice of legal actions to the public. For this reason certain legal procedures require publication of notice in an adjudicated newspaper. For example, when a person petitions the court to change their name, the law requires the Order to Show Cause be published so the public can respond if it so chooses. When the estate of a deceased person is probated, one of the required methods for notice to heirs and creditors is by publication.

Hello, just purchased Avia a couple days ago and am having issues with it… two at the moment:
1) When I click Add Entry, the little spinner appears and spins forever despite the entry being added already. I can refresh the page and see that it has been entered, but the spinner will just sit there forever if I don't leave the page or refresh.
2) When entries are added, the text of each entry is appearing at the top of the page and the different voting areas appear below them all. See here:
This plugin is an essential component of my new site so I really want to get it working smoothly right away. Thanks!
March 25, 2011 at 2:54 am #43004I don't know if this is relevant but I just tried using the shortcode [avia_feedback_box] in my page content instead of setting the default page in settings, and the shortcode merely prints to the screen but does nothing.
March 25, 2011 at 3:37 am #43005OK strike this, traced the second part of this problem down to a small bit of custom code that was breaking several things related to the_content().
Still have the spinning thing forever until I reload the page…
March 25, 2011 at 6:22 am #43006March 27, 2011 at 2:09 am #43007The site is not public yet and I don't want to post a link to it here. I have sent you the information via your contact form.
March 28, 2011 at 6:12 am #43008Ok – you sent your login details directly to Kriesi. I'm sure he'll answer your request soon.
March 29, 2011 at 7:08 am #43009Ah I didn't realize you weren't he. I haven't heard anything back yet, is there a way I can send the information direct to you? There doesn't seem to be a private message system on this forum.
March 29, 2011 at 3:58 pm #43010Hey,
There isn't a helpdesk / private forum function on this site at the moment.
If you've sent a message directly to Kriesi I'm pretty sure he'll get back to you as soon as he's had a look into the problem.
April 11, 2011 at 3:47 am #43011Well it's been 2 weeks and I haven't heard anything at all. My feedback system still spins forever on submission, although the feedback IS submitted.
I really would like some help with this and am feeling pretty much abandoned here. =(
April 12, 2011 at 12:26 am #43012I have a new much more serious issue with this plugin now. When I click on "Newest", it's actually pulling in a page from my blog rather than showing the newest feedback requests. I have no idea why but I can't use this in this state. Can someone please contact the developer and get him to get involved here?
April 12, 2011 at 2:29 am #43013OK this most recent issue turned out to be a conflict with another plugin. However I still have the original problem of the plugin just spinning forever when added new items.
April 13, 2011 at 4:59 am #43014Have you tried deactivating all plugins – maybe another plugin conflicts with Avia Feedback too. Try deactivating all and activate them one by one. When the new items feature doesn't work (correctly) anymore you've found the conflict.
April 14, 2011 at 1:41 am #43015I have already tried it as the sole plugin installed (other than the bbPress plugin which can't be disabled or my site will not even display). No change at all.
April 14, 2011 at 8:19 am #43016I got someone else to fix it… haven't gotten the report on what they did yet but I know it involved editing some Javascript.
Thanks anyway…
April 14, 2011 at 2:33 pm #43017Glad that your programmer found a solution. If you could provide some information what he changed we can look into the problem and fix the bug for everyone or we can increase compatibility.
May 15, 2011 at 12:34 am #43018Hi there… I am having the same problem – When the Submit button is pressed you get the spinning circle that never ends… I tried it in Chrome and Firefox for the Mac, and I.E. and FireFox for Windows… Must be a bug with Ajax / JS that came in with WP 3.1
VanClute – Can you perhaps email me a zip of the fixed version of your plugin? and / or, can the support staff here come up with a solution, QUICK!
Thanks, guys… I look forward to using what appears to be a great plugin!
May 15, 2011 at 2:01 am #43019Hmm… did some more research and I think there is a conflict with the Wishlist member plugin… I've contacted the developers over there as well…
May 15, 2011 at 8:14 am #43020May 24, 2011 at 2:55 pm #43021@vanclute Could you please post the solution? Having the same problem here. Thanks.
May 24, 2011 at 3:44 pm #43022So I experimented a bit and I fixed the eternally spinning wheel in all browsers I tried so far. Now I even see the confirmation message!
In feedbackbox.js, line 191, I replaced
datastring = "ajax=true&action="+event.data.context+"&id="+id;
datastring = "ajax=true&action="+event.data.context+"&id="+id,
context = event.data.context;and in line 210
if(event.data.context == 'submitFeedback')
is replaced by
if(context == 'submitFeedback')
I cannot exactly tell why is that, but it works now. ;-)
May 25, 2011 at 5:05 am #43023June 1, 2011 at 5:27 pm #43024I have this same problem, but this fix didn't work for some reason! I've tried finding js conflicts and plugin conflicts, and there appear to be none. Is there a new version of the plugin by any chance? Mine is about 6 months old…
June 2, 2011 at 2:03 pm #43025I'm not aware of a new update. Have you tried deactivating the plugins one by one – very like one causes a conflict.
June 11, 2011 at 1:26 pm #43026Yeah, nothing's worked. No conflicts.
The topic 'Avia Feedback doesn't add entry properly' is closed to new replies.

David Miliband has rejected calls for him to boost Labour's prospects by returning to frontline politics, saying he wanted to avoid a "daily soap opera".
His brother Ed, who pipped him for the Labour leadership in 2010, and some of his own allies have been urging the former foreign secretary to take a job in the Shadow Cabinet. Although he is said to be frustrated at Labour's slow progress, David Miliband believes that he would be a distraction rather than a help.
"Ed needs the space to lead the Labour Party as he sees fit. I can help Labour at the grass roots," he said yesterday. "I want him to win the next general election. I'm happy to say he's the best man to lead Labour into the next election...and to lead the country." He rejected speculation about another leadership contest, but said he would continue to play an active role in politics.
Yesterday David Miliband published the findings of a commission he chaired which warned that youth unemployment is a "crisis we cannot afford" which could cost Britain £28bn over the next decade.

A cluttered email box can be as distracting as a cluttered office. One way to tame the email beast: "delete, delegate, respond, defer or do" each time you open a message.
Late December is a time of spring cleaning for many people, and that can mean clearing out the Email inbox: weed out messages that no longer need action, reply to ones that have been hanging around, file others to reference later.
For some people, though, striving for a perpetual state of an empty inbox is an ongoing habit or at least an ongoing effort.
"For me, Inbox Zero is a coping mechanism for the anxiety created by a constant flux of e-mail," writes Silvia Killingsworth in "Zero Dark Inbox" on the New Yorker blog. "On the one hand, it feels great not to linger on past conversations; but on the other hand, I forget whole interactions as soon as they're gone from my screen. I've traded short-term memory for a Googleable inbox."
Killingsworth credits the "inbox zero" idea to Merlin Mann, a blogger whose 43folders.com website is "about finding the time and attention to do your best creative work." Mann gave a Google Tech Talk about Inbox Zero back in 2007 which set out the language still used by many today to talk about the habit.
Mann "breaks every decision about what to do when faced with an e-mail into five possibilities: delete, delegate, respond, defer, do," Killingsworth explains. Processing email efficiently has an ultimate goal, Mann says, of processing it down to zero.
Mann offers some great advice at his website (although, as he warns on his About page, "Please do not use 43 Folders as an excuse to procrastinate. That would be so ironically unwholesome as to stagger the mind.").
One of his more popular posts covers the art of writing sensible email messages. The four biggest takeaways of that post: first, be clear about whether the purpose of the email is to provide information, request information or request action. Second, get that purpose right in the first sentence. Third, make the subject line work for you (two of his examples: "Lunch resched to Friday @ 1pm" and "Thanks for the new liver--works great!"). And fourth, be brief and make sure the message fits on "one screen with no scrolling."
The main point: you don't have to be a slave to your inbox. True, while it's good to be succinct and good to process as efficiently as possible, there"s only so much most of us can do to tame the email beast. Killingsworth concedes that "In some ways, the Inbox Zero system is just a game of whack-a-mail " as soon as you reply and archive one thread, up pops another." But acting and filing can be liberating. And you might want to follow the lead of some people and take an email fast whenever possible, either regularly throughout the day or over an entire weekend" if you can stand it.

Try finding the seller on eBay and check his items sold. It should be near the top.
tenspeed answered 4 years ago
I wouldn't send anyone money unless everything was very clear. Don't be rushed - go through proper channels. There are no eBay agents - don't send anything to a home address. You could lose all your money.

With just hours of the January transfer window remaining, Tottenham have emerged as the favourites to sign Saido Berahino.
The West Brom striker has been linked with a move away from the Hawthorns throughout January, with Spurs, Newcastle and Stoke among those pursuing the player.
West Brom have insisted Berahino will not be sold, despite the striker wanting to leave. Even earlier today assistant head coach Dave Kemp said so.
"I'm expecting him to be here. The chairman deals with that side," said Kemp.
Despite that assertion, the rumours have persisted and at the start of the day Newcastle were the favourites to sign the 22-year-old.
However, Tottenham have usurped the Magpies as Berahino's most likely destination according to bookmakers Ladbrokes.
Spurs started Transfer Deadline Day as 8/1 outsiders but are now priced at 5/2. Newcastle are at 7/2 and Stoke 16/1.
The window closes at 11pm.

With his guitar, Ronnie Wood made rock and roll history. On Friday, he helped make sure it's preserved.
On the eve of his second induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Wood and two other members of British bands The Small Faces and The Faces donated a bio of the bands to the hall's new library and archives.
Best known for his time with The Rolling Stones, Wood was joined by Ian McLagan and Kenney Jones, who were in The Small Faces before the band re-formed as The Faces with Rod Stewart as its lead singer.

The three musicians donated the biography titled "Faces" that chronicles the history of both bands to the library's vast collection of recordings, periodicals, photographs and other documents.
The archives, which are located a few miles from the Rock Hall, opened in January. It was officially dedicated this week. Housed inside a new four-story building are materials chronicling rock history donated by some of music's most significant figures.
The archives will be a place for fans, students and scholars to have access to items including lyric sheets, personal papers and rare concert footage.
McLagan said the archives will ensure rock's rich history is passed down to future generations.
"When I came here before, I saw a Muddy Waters room and got to see one of his jackets and his guitar, posters and photographs," he said. "It keeps them alive. Brilliant."
The Small Faces/Faces will perform Saturday without Stewart, who has the flu and cannot attend.
"I'm absolutely devastated," Stewart said in a statement. "Shattered that I'm going to miss my second induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame – and this time alongside my mates."
Faces, who had hits like "Itchycoo Park and "Stay With Me" will perform with Simply Red's Mick Hucknall, a friend of the band, singing vocals.
The bands will be inducted by Stevie Van Zandt of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band.
Wood left the Jeff Beck Group with Stewart to join The Faces in 1969. He said he is thrilled the band's two versions are being enshrined.
"It's about time," he said. "That's about all I can say."

Nonprofit asks to run Will Rogers State Historic Park
A private, nonprofit organization today asked the California Department of Parks and Recreation to allow it to manage and operate Will Rogers State Historic Park. In a letter to parks Director Ruth Coleman, the Will Rogers Ranch Foundation said that, given the state's shaky finances, the organization could do a better job of running the Pacific Palisades park, where cowboy-philosopher Rogers lived until his untimely death in a 1935 plane crash. "We believe that a partnership between the foundation and California State Parks would clearly make sense and would be in the public interest, as well as in the best interests of this historic ranch," said Jennifer Rogers-Etcheverry, a great-granddaughter of Rogers and the foundation's chairwoman.
The action reflects the frustration of Rogers family members and park supporters, who say the parks agency has done a poor job of running the park and faces graver challenges because of the state's eroding finances. Most recently, state budget cuts forced park personnel to reduce the number of days the ranch house is open to tours and to halt work on the visitors center, which has been undergoing a restoration. The foundation plans to operate a retail shop in the visitors center to muster more funds to care for the property. The four-year-old foundation's proposal aligns with the suggestions of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Coleman over the years that private groups will have to step forward to help operate the state's cash-strapped public parks. Rogers-Etcheverry said the foundation hopes to emulate a private group's operation of the Railroad Museum in Sacramento. Without offering financial details, the foundation said it has garnered support from the Will Rogers Memorial in Oklahoma, Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation, Will Rogers Polo Club, Pacific Palisades Historical Society and Will Rogers Cooperative Assn., as well as the backing of many community leaders and opinion makers "who are willing to commit to long-term financial support." Representatives for the parks agency could not immediately be reached for comment. --Martha Groves Photo: The former home of Will Rogers in Will Rogers State Historic Park, as seen in January 2008.

I have a bb9900 never used because youtube has never worked , I am getting a run a round between Rogers and Rim.... None of them knows and will not take responsibility. I believe there is a software issue with OS7.1...Really doesit take that long for the two big companies to fix this issue.... THIS ISSUE IS GOING ON FOR THE PAST 4 MONTHS..... Rogers sent my phone to Rim to get it fixed but I guess Rim doesn't have a clue what was wrong with their phone, they sent the phone back along with a note(The problem has been resolved). I still have the same issue till this date, Rogers replaced my phone with the fifty dollar charge fee but I refused to pay Rim for their Tech support desk( $35). I was promised by the Rim's Tech support to call me back that includes the supervisor too.

Can't be done, really. I can never have a bright pink, for a start. *sobs* Many who joined after I did can never have a frill - I made it under the wire. And what happens when there is a new release - do you lose the badge till you get one ? |

I'm not really keen on a badge for having the retired dragons on your scroll. The way I see it, actually having them is the prize, you don't need something else in addition.
I'd love to have a dino cave badge though! Even if it's just a little dino egg or something. I'm not sure if it would go to people who logged in on April 1st or ones that requested the email notification... I'd be fine with either, I did both. But either way I'd love a badge for this. |

Hi everyone,
I hope this post finds you well. I was thinking you know when you collect dragons you get a little statue saying what grade you are e.g. more than 150 dragons - bronze. Do you think we could have more levels of these. The reason i ask is that as more breeds of dragon come in to the cave it will be easier to achive the gold dragon so can we have others like Platinum, Ruby, Onyx titainium, opal. There could be new dragons to reflect these as well. This way people would be acheiving more and it might add more intrest to the game. Also instead of one staue showing why now have a cabit icon and click that and have all the icons in there. e.g. valentines, halloween evens etc, etc. Any feed back more than welcome. Take care and best wishes to all. |

"Also instead of one statue showing, why not have a cabinet icon and click that and have all the icons in there? e.g. Valentines, Halloween events etc, etc." Something that groups all the badges and stuff you have at the top into one page, like how clicking on the Easter basket takes you to your Easter eggs. Less clutter? |

~A platinum and diamond trophy for having higher numbers of dragons (1000? 2000? 5000?) {TJ has stated these trophies would not come with upped limits}
~A badge for having a certain number of summon!fails (25? 50? 100?) ~Badges for hitting milestones in membership to DC (1 year, 2 years, etc) -Would have to be based on oldest dragon's catch date I like these three a lot. I think most of the others would alter gameplay too much because people would feel pressured to play a certain way in order to receive the badge. And I'm saying this as a person who would receive many of these purposed gameplay badges because I do happen to play that way. But I don't want anyone to feel pressured to play my way.

Perhaps these badges could have levels, and each increased level instead of representing a number of dragons towards a goal would instead say the user had all the required dragons available in a particular year. That way the badges would be like 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and the 2012 one would not be available until the end of the year (since all the dragons for 2012 haven't been released yet). EDIT: These could either be separate badges, or else you'd have to collect the 2007 one before you could get the 2008 one. I like the separate badges version, personally, as this wouldn't keep people stuck on one particular year because they couldn't obtain (or didn't want to obtain) a specific breed of dragon. That said, it would be too much clutter for multiple badges unless there was a single icon to click that would then show all the years you had collected. I'd also separate out the regular versus the holiday dragons, it's one thing to get a 2007 holiday badge (as the only holiday dragon required for this is the elusive Holly, unless the zombie and/or neglected are added), it's another thing entirely to not have a 2007 badge because of a lack of a Holly. It'll be tough enough earning that 2007 version because it would require a gold, silver, (and potentially a neglected and zombie). In addition, I'd remove any unobtainable dragons from the requirements. It's not fair to require players to obtain dragons they can no longer obtain in order to get a badge. This isn't an "I was here on this particular day" badge, after all, it's a badge for being a collector of all things currently collectible. It would also be nice if the badge were hard-coded in such a way that once you earned it you would not lose it. This way someone who cannot stand a particular breed but wanted to collect all the badges could raise a dragon of the breed and then later release it.

I like this, though you could end up with quite a lineup of "Year" badges, but given that it'd take a year to add each new one, that may not be an issue. I do like that take on it though, as it does solve the whole you-lose-it-each-time-something-new-is-released thing. |

These are what I hope to see in the future. I really like the summon fail badge, we should get noticed for our efforts~ |

I really like the idea of year badges. However, I'd like them appear if you have all dragons from that year with the exception of holidays, GoN and retired breeds. Why? Because you can grab holidays only once each year, and especially the holly dragon is incredibly hard to get. And there are people who've been summoning for 2 years without success. Not giving them the year badge for 2010 because of that would be like salt in an open wound. And retired breeds - well, you can't get them at all, period.

This photograph was taken using the TtV technique and is part of my TtV: Through the Viewfinder Series
Photographed using a vintage Argoflex Seventy-five and a Canon.
I love that we are able to see each other's 'backyard' Jules. This is just up the road from home (the road I live on is thankfully sealed).
This reminds me to the early days of photography.
Absolut great work!
Go on!
Thanks so much Kurt, the Argoflex camera I used is approx 50 years old, I love the quality it gives. Appreciate your kind comment.
Nice!ove the title.
