Your Account
If you're just getting started with Perl, this is the book you want—whether you're a programmer, system administrator, or web hacker. Nicknamed "the Llama" by two generations of users, this bestseller closely follows the popular introductory Perl course taught by the authors since 1991. This 6th edition covers recent changes to the language up to version 5.14.
Perl is suitable for almost any task on almost any platform, from short fixes to complete web applications. Learning Perl teaches you the basics and shows you how to write programs up to 128 lines long—roughly the size of 90% of the Perl programs in use today. Each chapter includes exercises to help you practice what you've just learned. Other books may teach you to program in Perl, but this book will turn you into a Perl programmer.
Topics include:
Randal L. Schwartz is a two-decade veteran of the software industry. He is skilled in software design, system administration, security, technical writing, and training. Randal has coauthored the "must-have" standards: Programming Perl, Learning Perl, Learning Perl for Win32 Systems, and Effective Perl Learning, and is a regular columnist for WebTechniques, PerformanceComputing, SysAdmin, and Linux magazines. He is also a frequent contributor to the Perl newsgroups, and has moderated comp.lang.perl.announce since its inception. His offbeat humor and technical mastery have reached legendary proportions worldwide (but he probably started some of those legends himself). Randal's desire to give back to the Perl community inspired him to help create and provide initial funding for The Perl Institute. He is also a founding board member of the Perl Mongers (perl.org), the worldwide Perl grassroots advocacy organization. Since 1985, Randal has owned and operated Stonehenge Consulting Services, Inc.

The animal on the cover of Learning Perl, FifthEdition, is a llama (Lama glama), a relation of thecamel, and native to the Andean range. Also included in this llamoid groupis the domestic alpaca and their wild ancestors, the guanaco and the vicuña.Bones found in ancient human settlements suggest that domestication of thealpaca and the llama dates back about 4,500 years. In 1531, when Spanishconquistadors overran the Inca Empire in the high Andes, they found bothanimals present in great numbers. These llamas are suited for high mountainlife; their hemoglobin can take in more oxygen than that of other mammals. Llamas can weigh up to 300 pounds and are mostly used as beasts ofburden. A pack train may contain several hundred animals and can travel upto 20 miles per day. Llamas will carry loads up to 50 pounds, but have atendency to be short-tempered and resort to spitting and biting todemonstrate displeasure. To other people of the Andes, llamas also providemeat, wool for clothing, hides for leather, and fat for candles. Their woolcan also be braided into ropes and rugs, and their dried dung is used forfuel. The cover image is a 19th-century engraving from the Dover PictorialArchive.

About Me Developer
Comments about oreilly Learning Perl, 6th Edition:
I had to switch to Perl from other scripting languages because of the new job I found. Was recommended this book by one of the colleagues and it worth every penny: by the end of the book I was able to read other coders perl code and implement my tasks and it hasn't take more than a week to read it through.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The definitive Perl training book
By AlanR
from Edinburgh, UK
If you want to learn Perl, this is the easiest way. My technique for using it is to complete one chapter at a time, reading the text then completing the exercises. As an E-book, you can put highlights in it then search for them when you are trying to remember "where did they explain such and such?". It's a structured learning course and gives you a great grounding in the language which allows you solve do a great number of commonly-encountered problems. I love this book and would always have the latest version available.

Excellent book, very comprehensive

About Me Hobby Programmer, Sys Admin
I have programmed in Python and a little bit in C and I think this book is great - and so is perl. I already knew a little bit about perl from reading a Wikipedia article and looking at the perldoc documentation, but Learning Perl taught my some very useful things that I would have never found alone (splicing, nongreedy regexes, just to name a few). perl has amazing support for I/O, and the book helped me understand regexes and file I/O. I found both perl and this book to be good for other things, too. I wrote a logging program that wrote logs with timestamps, for example. Other things I used this book and perl for included a calculator, a text-to-HTML conversion program, and a password cracker. Learning Perl helped me uncover some bugs in my programs, taught me many new things, and was also just a fun read. The only thing I would add would be more about OOP (Object Oriented Programming). I found the TOC (Table of Contents) to be very well done and the e-book version had links to the proper sections. I could find anything quite quickly with the excellent TOC.
This book does make things easy!

About Me Maker, Programmerwannabe
I am not a programmer. I happen to love programming. Weird, right? I had no experience other than a little linux command line and some high level bash and ksh. I have learned so much and was able to write a rather simple journal program from just my reading the first 5 chapters of this book. I would say if you are a "programmer" by trade, this book would do great as a stand alone introduction. I really do not have any complaints.

About Me Sys Admin
I bought it because I'd always heard that if you want to learn Perl, you read the Llama book and then the Camel book. By the end of both, you'll have your feet under you where Perl is concerned. As good as the book is, and as true as the recommendations are, I feel that it's more for a lack of competition than because this book excels. The authors, editors, and everyone else involved really need to consider addressing their ADD issues with ritalin or adderall. The explanations are clear and great... once you've waded through the jokes, footnotes, excerpts from this one time in college, etc.
Good Book on Perl
By Programmer
from Los Angeles, CA
In my opinion this book is the best one to get you started with Perl programming. It doesn't end with the basis, it also teaches you in-depth. It helped me write Perl programs in a very short time. Regular expressions chapters are in detail which helped me in data processing programs. Exercises at the end of each chapter gave an opportunity for practicing before writing real programs. Now this book is my handy book.
The De Facto Standard for PERL Instruct
By shawnday
from Dublin, Ireland
About Me Developer, Educator
Assuming no prior experience and Learning PERL provides approachable, and well explained hands-on examples, starting from installation of PERL on Windows, OSX or Linux-based systems. Much like the superb cookbook series of volumes from O'Reilly it approaches instruction in PERL from a hands-on specific task that you would want to accomplish way of instruction, that is is of particular value to those that appreciate self-paced instruction.This book takes the learner to a solid level of competence in PERL and a stage to carry out many useful tasks is areas such as text processing or database manipulation. It will be useful to those with no programming experience and a need to carry out automated tasks for their own use as well as people familiar with Python or PHP requiring a rapid introduction to a different approach to similar programmatic structures.

Perl essentials
By James A. Langbridge
from Nantes, France
About Me Developer, Maker
Whether you are a sysadmin, developer, hacker or just a plain geek, chances are someday you will be confronted with Perl. The feature-rich language can be daunting to the novice, which is why it is a good idea to have a well-written reference book and guide close by. This book is both, but it is much more than just that. The author explains the very basics of the language, its history and philosophy, and clear examples are sprinkled generously within the pages. The chapters are well thought out, and also serves as a reference if you are looking for a cookbook-method to find the solution to a tricky problem, but it is also pleasant to be able to read through from start to end.Don't be fooled by the title; this book does indeed teach you the basics about Perl, but it also goes well beyond the simple "learning" aspect, and takes you deep into the language.

Wine & art
Bedford studio combines wine with an art lesson
By BARBARA TAORMINA
Union Leader Correspondent | July 21. 2013 6:52PM
Brian Klagges, of Bedford, says the combination easy-to-follow instructions and a glass of wine takes the worry out of painting. (BARBARA TAORMINA PHOTO)
Ellis decided to open a paint-and-sip studio after visiting one in Newton, Mass. There seems to be no stopping the paint bars, which are growing in popularity in the Northeast. The Muse in Manchester hosts several painting sessions and parties every week and a sign in a storefront in Nashua's Main Street is promising Gate City its own paint-and –sip studio will open soon.
Ellis launched the Canvas Road Show in the fall of 2012 as a traveling event that set up in bars, restaurants and other businesses. She organized painting events for private parties, organizations that wanted fundraising activities, kids' birthdays, bridal showers, anniversaries and other gatherings and celebrations.
Ellis has a team of professional artists who show people, step-by-step, how to paint different scenes and abstract designs. Compositions are fairly simple, and painters can either follow along with the lead artist, or experiment with their own colors, shapes and ideas. Paintings are done in acrylic paint, which dries quickly for the ride home.
"People tell me that their families think they bought their paintings," she said.
Ellis said the paint-and-sip studios offer a different experience that's both social and restorative. And people leave each event with a finished piece of art.

1974 BMW 2002 value?
My wife and I bought this car from "Beyond 02" in 2000. She used it as her daily driver for a few years until we had kids and then it was retired to the garage and only taken out for fun from time to time. It is getting less and less use lately, and it's probably time to free up space in the garage for other stuff.
Any thoughts on it's value?
Here's what i know off-hand.
- 83,049 miles on odometer. I was told that this was the original engine and odometer was accurate when i purchased the car but never followed up to make sure. We've put less than 10,000mi on it since 2000.
- starts up and runs well but burns oil
- it has some resistance when rolling. I'm assuming it sat too long this last time and the brakes will needs some work (ebrake light stays on..maybe partially engaged?)
- new battery purchased today
- 4 speed manual transmission was rebuilt right before our purchase in 2000. Still shifts smooth and easy.
- interior is in pretty good shape. no rips or tears in seats, 1 crack in dash, carpet kit ok for old/original (no stock floormats) headliner ok. looks like it has an aftermarket center console?
- minimal rust at rear windows but i have not noticed any extensive rust or rot
- Looks like original paint color but probably not all original paint (some overspray and other signs that it probably had some painting done at some point)
- overall paint and body look clean with some random dings and chips on closer inspection
- no sunroof
- pin broken on drivers vent window (someone must have wanted the change in my ashtray really bad :confused:)
here's some pics
I'm in Northern California
I'd appreciate any guidance you can give
I will say your car is worth $3k to $5k on a good day

We name the malware and unwanted software that we detect according to the Computer Antivirus Research Organization (CARO) Malware naming scheme.
This scheme uses the following format:
When our analysts research a particular threat, they will determine what each of the components of the name will be.
The type describes what the threat does on your computer. Worms, trojans, viruses, and adware are some of the most common types of threats we detect.
The platform refers to the operating system (such as Windows, Mac OS X, and Android) that the threat is designed to work on. Platforms can also include programming languages and file formats.
A group of threats with the same name is known as a family. Sometimes different security software companies use different names.
Variant letters are used sequentially for each different version or member of a family. For example, the detection for the variant ".AF" would have been created after the detection for the variant ".AE".
Additional information is sometimes used to describe a specific file or component that is used by another threat in relation to this threat. In the example above, the !lnk indicates that the threat is a shortcut file used by the Trojan:Win32/Reveton.T variant, as shortcut files usually use the extension .lnk.

Come winter, Ankeny, Iowa, residents will have something to chuckle about as city snowplows clear their streets. How can they not grin at an alien with flashing eyes gazing at them from the passenger seat? "That's an attention grabber," says Public Works Administrator Al Olson.
Adding personal flair to vehicles is the norm for the Ankeny Public Works Operations Division. It also boosts morale. In addition to maintaining 203 centerline miles of roadway, the division's 14 or so street maintenance operators log extra hours to keep those roads open during winter storms.
Their spruced-up vehicles take the bite out of working overtime. "It's my home away from home," says Lead Equipment Operator Joey Almond, whose surname is displayed across the door of his three-year-old tandem-axle plow truck. "And if you're happy with what you're doing, you perform that much better."
With an in-house sign-making shop, getting customized decals is easy. Some drivers show off their favorite universities; one pays homage to the National Football League's Green Bay Packers. Harley Davidson seat covers, chrome lugnuts, and stuffed animals are also common adornments. One cab has mood lighting: Day-Glo blue lights that make the interior glow like a disco at night.
"Some of the guys get superstitious about their mascots," says Almond. "They've got to have their 'snow goblin' [stuffed animal] strapped to the front-end loader, or their 'wing man' [caped wrestling figure] standing on the snowplow wing."
Operators began personalizing their vehicles about 10 years ago. "One of the guys asked if it was OK to place something with his nickname, Sparky, on the side of his truck," Olson says. "I thought it was fine." Soon, others started doing it.
"It gives me 'new car syndrome,'" says Almond. "I take pride in that truck. It's mine. It has my name on it."
Almond's is a common sentiment. "It's a real pride factor among the guys," Olson says. "It's almost competitive — whose truck looks the sharpest and the cleanest."
A spotless truck has multiple advantages. At the end of a snowstorm it's critical to clean salt off to prevent corrosion. Operators not only detail their vehicles, they also polish them and touch them up with paint. When stored in the shop, the vehicles appeal to visitors; when out on the streets, the public sees a city department that takes care of its equipment, opening the door for approval of additional purchases.
From a safety standpoint, taking such care of vehicles means leaks and other problems are found sooner, minimizing breakdowns. There's also a comfort level in that drivers know exactly what condition their vehicles are in because they're the ones who maintain them.
"My objective is to make this a fun environment, because when the job is fun you will be more productive," says Olson. "I have no personnel issues and the guys have become more innovative when resolving issues."

Well, I have never participated in a forum but from already looking around this site I am excited to be apart of the dented helmet! And I will try to have meaningful posts. lol. I've been cosplaying many things for a few years now but thanks to my friend Lady Fett I have decided to take it way farther and do a character with armor! Since I am of course a huge Star Wars fan and when I saw Shae Vizla I was hooked I decided it was time to get serious. I'm not experienced at all and I really don't want to spend a lot of money on materials starting out only to mess most if not all of it up.
I want to also thank Scott Kaufmann, Cruzer and Snowaure for the warm welcome and for being so helpful already! :) From what I have seen on this forum everyone has a great attitude and which is refreshing. ;) I'm looking to have the Shae Vizla commissioned and possibly if I can learn a few things in the process. I don't mind investing time to make a costume as long as I have a great hands on teacher! At the very least I think I might want to tackle one of her weapons but we shall see. But until then, any help, suggestions, etc would be much appreciated!
Looking forward to my journey with the dented helmet and getting to know more wonderful people! :love

Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 17mm f2.8
Further readings for the Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 17mm f2.8
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Packed with a raft of high-end features, including 5-axis image stabilization, a new hybrid autofocus system, and a 50Mp high-res shot mode, the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II (E-M1 II) builds on what was already a popular and revered first model. The newly-developed 20.4Mp sensor is also the first Micro-Four-Thirds (MFT) sensor chip to crash through the 80-point barrier in our industry-standard lab tests, making E-M1 II the highest-ranked MTF sensor in our database. (Read the full review of the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II here.)
Announced at the IFA 2015 in Berlin, this new Micro-Four-Thirds Panasonic LUMIX G 25mm F1.7 ASPH lens is a welcome addition to Panasonic's existing range. Read on to find out how well this new model performs.
Sigma has refreshed its earlier made for mirrorless EX DN models assigning them with the firm's 'Art' moniker. But just how well does this 19mm MFT model perform with its modest $199 sticker price and f2.8 maximum aperture? Click through to find out.
The depth of high quality primes and zooms for the PEN is, arguably, the most compelling reason to invest in the Micro Four Thirds system over rival mirrorless camera offerings. If you're already a PEN E-P5 owner or you're looking for advice or insights in lens performance in advance, this guide will aid you in making the right choice. Read onto find out which lens models in the range perform best optically.
As with previous guides, this review is intended to help you make the right choice when selecting lenses, in this instance, for the micro Four Thirds Olympus OMD E-M5 and the rival offering from Panasonic, the Lumix DMC-GH3. These two flagship models share not only the same mount, as partners of the Micro Four Thirds alliance, but in this particular instance, a similar 16Mpix MOS sensor as well. The prevalence of high quality primes (and let's not forget zooms) for those cameras makes it, arguably, the most attractive proposition of any of the mirrorless camera systems currently available. Read on to see which lens models are the best performing in the range.
Although compact and likeable enough, Olympus' first 17mm for MFT (Micro Four Third) wasn't one of the best performing lenses. With a fast maximum aperture, this new lens aims to build on the popularity of the angle of view / focal length while offering improved image quality. Read on to see if Olympus has achieved their goal.
In this review of micro 4/3 wide-angle lenses, we will cover both prime and zoom lenses to give you an good overview of how manufacturers managed to design good-quality lenses in a small form-factor for these focal ranges.
Continuing with our tests on micro 4/3 lenses, today we take another look at an older (2009) pancake lens, the Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 17mm f/2.8. Very compact and light-weight, the 17mm f/2.8 was one of the very first lenses specifically designed for micro 4/3 cameras.
Added by anentropic | March 01 , 2012
There is another choice?
On the front page for the review of this lens (http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Publications/DxOMark-Reviews/Micro-Four-Third-Lens-Reviews/Olympus-M.Zuiko-Digital-17mm-f-2.8) you say something that doesn't make sense.
In the opening paragraphs describing this lens it says "very compact and light-weight design - only 22mm long and weighing only 71g"
Later on you say "Unfortunately for those who would like to use an ultra-compact, light-weight pancake lens, there really aren't any other choices yet — even from Panasonic"
But on your page for the Panasonic 14mm it gives:
Length (mm) 20.5
Weight (gr) 55
...making that lens more-compact and lighter than the Olympus 17mm. Arguably better optically too, but we'll have to wait for your test of course :)

|O.K. the decisent filter is pretty simple too..basicly you'll need to weld a removable plug in the top and bottom for filling and emptying the decisent balls,then you need a "air in' at the top and an "air out" about an inch or two from the bottom...see the picture....and a screen to keep the balls from blowing out of the containers air out side...the balls can be bought at your local paint supply store and cost about 90.00 theres no way around this....except....I had an idea to contact a electronics shipper because the little packets in your new electronics package are the same thing...if you can find out where to get them they might be a lot cheaper....its just silica and all they do is absorb moisture. Soooo ...its just a thought.... after the decisent filter I have a toilit paper roll filter (not shown) just in case...its simply a container that holds a roll of toilit paper ,they cost around a hundred bucks "rediculus" but the decisent filter cost around three hundred bucks,so your talking about 1,000.00 bucks just to filter air ....That hurts and is out of range for a do it yourselfer.I'll be back with more pics on the paper filters.see ya then....if you have any questions nows the time... the next filter is the hardest to make but fun too
|well...if thats the case then my 60gal bong should be the last one he'll ever need ...the one he's been dreaming about....I think Cheech is a rodder too did you see the truck they made? But I think the water pipe was invented in the middle east thousands of years ago... but it dont make sence...they should be a lot more mellow over there ,hey,mabee cheech & chong should be our goodwill ambasitors to the middle east,wouldn't that be a hoot? I'm going to the shop and I'll be taking pics of the filters and I'll post them ..around 7:00 E.S.T. see ya's then
Well... at least he will think about doing it until he takes another hit and then he will forget all about it.
|ahhhh,So you watched Cheech & chong too.....My water seperator Guru's.....if Cheech ever found out about this water seperator He'd not only be dreaming about it he'd really be in trouble....does he still sell them or did the big bro close his factory down?Hey mabee he can get some bail out money now least he aint a crook (ceos,bankers,etc)...
OK... Pretty simple. So you are using water to take the water vapor out of the air, correct. So when the water level rises to a level to create bubbles from the inlet pipe it starts natural filtration. Exactly like a Bong or what we legally call a Water Pipe in Cali. Not that I have any idea what you are talk about there.
OK... I get that and I have a basic water separator on my compressors that probably does not work as well as this basic concept and cost too much but as you mentioned it is still not good enough for paint. I use last chance filters, but because I don't have anything adequate before that I go through them like crazy.
Anxiously awaiting your next post.
|first you'll need a water seperator (filter) connected directly to the compressor tank....my seperator is a n old 60gal air tank but I have a lot of compressor yours may have to be smaller like the old craftsman below.stand it on end and weld some feet on....then on the "air in" side,you run a 3/4" threaded pipe down to the bottom, then raise it up 1" and weld it to the tank so now the air/water goes in and hits the bottom....the water collects on the bottom and the air escapes and goes up to the top of the tank where you connect the air line out....after the water level gets over an inch high the little vapor droplets cant get past the water,gravity does the rest.like the old water pipes hippies smoked out of (I know the guys from Cali know what I mean) then you'll have to drop the pressure to a more useable pressure....mine is 75-100 psi ...the air line now splits and goes to the bodyshop and the paint booth....the air to the bodyshop is pretty much water free but not good enough to paint with or prime with so you'll need more filters......the next one is the decisent filter made from an old portable tire compressor shown below.I'll have to take some more pics from the shop tommorow so I'll continue with the next filter then but before I do ...do you understand everything so far? It's pretty simple really
|I Oxy, mig and tig but I tig just about everything these days. I like that welder better and I am better at that process. Yes I am still interested. May even have an extigusher I could donate to the cause.
|out of portable compressor tanks or fire extinguesers....found at scrap yards theres hundreds of them...can you weld? if not can you JB weld? Still interested?
|I know this post is a little old... But I am interested. How does Deadbodyman make air supply filters for cheap?
|BINGO!!!!!!! Good booth filters have a sticky side to trap dirt,Ive used furnace filters in the past and sprayed differnt types of sticky stuff on them like spray glue in a can but you need something that stays sticky like pine pitch and spray thinner on it occationaly to rejuvinate it but real booth filters are what you need now,to solve this problem. any paint supply store can get them for 20.00 ea our you can google them and save cash...Your air supply filters look fine(way better than mine)save your cash on filters there EZ to make.For just a couple bucks and some stuff laying around I can show you how to make filters and seperators that'll be the envey of all the paint shops around especially when you tell them TEN bucks not a THOUSAND bucks I use mine every day.EVERYONE laughs until they see how well they work,I dont buff EVER!!!!!
Sticky Filters ? Coalescence/Coalescer filter usage.
and sure there is dirt/dust in the air, I'm surrounded by large workshops - car body/woodwork/plasterwork etc, its a dusty site. When the sun gets low dust can be seen glinting in the air outside, a lot of it, the blue filters should take care of that ?
And i forgot : what do you make of the coalescence filter interior pic?
The white dots are the internal filter material (the darker ones are just white but in shade), blue foam outside. Doesn't look clogged/dirty to me, the filter looks mint. (Replacements are stupidly expensive). Does anyone have experience with these things , do they just stop working after a while?
|like cboy says,heres a way to test,get up on a ladder and rub your finger on it is it rough?if so sheet over it but leave the old one up and use card board strips and staples to hold it up ,lots of staples,and then more staples
|I like how you store your long pieces of wood,I store mine 8' up too. Now I really cant see any trouble with your booth,I suggest this though,since you have two fans,use them,the bigger one sucking filterd air in and the little one blowing out,unfilterd for now.the pressurized booth will blow dirt out of any cracks insted of sucking it in.Is there saw dust in or around the booth?what kind of environment surrounds the booth?make sure the filters are sealed on the intake,double up the filters and use them on both sides of the intake fan.Now seal the exhaust filters use them on both sides also,dont use sticky filters on exhaust but use them on intake ,if the wind blows through the unfilterd exhaust it might just blow dirt right by the fan,the sticky side goes toward the inside of the booth.Now your booth is done so try it again see what happens.this may be all you need ,if you still have trouble we'll go to step two. also your air supply looks good too,heres a way to test get a piece of glass or mirror use your blower at wide open and blow air on the glass,this will tell you if any moisture is in the line(kind of like how they used to tell if someone was dead or alive in the old days)
In general, the problem with plastic/poly temporary type booths is that the paint cloud gets on those surfaces, dries, and then the next time you paint it can be dislodged and start flying around the booth.
For the cost of another poly ceiling, it might be worth taking down the current one and just shooting the way you used to do it...again just a part of the process of elimination.

Monday July 23rd, 2012 5:08pm
JU men's lacrosse coach Guy Van Arsdale almost appeared stunned as he pondered Saturday's 12-5 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference tournament qualifying win over Manhattan Saturday at D. B. Milne Field.
He looked that way with good reason as the Dolphins entered the Senior Day contest down seven players who normally see plenty of action and he wasn't sure what to expect.
The Dolphins (6-7, 3-3) showed him some pull together as Quint Miller scored three times and had an assist and goal keeper Pete DeLuca had 10 saves to win a trip to the MAAC tournament beginning in two weeks. The win also tied the school record for wins in a season for the three-year old program.
JU, which earned the first playoff berth in team history, was playing without freshman ace Ari Waffle, who has missed the last two games with illness, and six other players suspended this week for violating team rules.
"I know this win is good and I'm really proud of our young men and the way they came together,'' Van Arsdale said as his eyes searched the grown grasping for words to match the situation. "The way they handled some self-inflicted adversity and came out focused all week and got job done. They really pulled together. I'm very, very proud of them.''
The Dolphins came out hot early and took a 3-0 first quarter lead when David Goldman, who had two goals, Rob Wertz and Dan Jones all scored
Goldman and Miller, twice, scored in the second quarter, which was interrupted 51 minutes by a lightning delay, for a 6-3 halftime lead. Much of the early success was brought on by junior middie Dan McNulty who won eight to f 10 first half face-offs for the Dolphins.
A four-goal outburst in the third quarter virtually iced the game as Wertz, Jimmy Trentini, Jones and senior DJ Zymkowitz, playing his last home game, found the net.
The Dolphins held the Jaspers (5-8, 1-4) scoreless in the fourth as DeLuca and backup Alex DiScala combined for six saves and Miller and Max Gurowski ended the scoring. DiScala and Gurowski also were playing their final home game.
"DeLuca came up big and Danny McNulty on the face-offs was a key for us earl to get us going and the other guys pulled together,'' Van Arsdale said. "And, Tyler Black was a man possessed. I thought he was the best player on the field today. He was everywhere and just a dominant force which is hard to do as a long stick middie.'' Black had four ground balls and a caused turnover.
Now, the Dolphins will prepare for the tournament in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., most likely against league-leading Siena.
"Going to the MAAC championship and still being alive in that and still having a chance,'' Van Arsdale said, "who knows, you go and win that and you're playing in the NCAA tournament. There are not a lot of teams coming down in the next two weeks saying the still have an avenue to get there and we're one of them.''
He's convinced the team deserves it after the season it has had.
"They work hard and they've gone through a lot this year and a lot of change,'' he said. "And they are really starting to get it and I am really happy for them that they have some of that success.''

Few themes are as fraught with misunderstanding as when white writers tackle the topic of race.
William Styron's 1967 novel The Confessions of Nat Turner, about the insurrectionist Virginia slave, won the Pulitzer Prize, against the protests of many black people who felt the book worked on too many myths and harmful stereotypes associated with black men.
In contrast, Athol Fugard won plaudits and high hosannas for his 1982 play "Master Harold … and the Boys," based in part on his own upbringing in apartheid South Africa.
Utah-based playwright Shawn Fisher makes no apologies for approaching the topic of racism in the best way he knows how that is, through scenes and dialogue. He also holds no expectations or demands, and asks that audiences simply take "How to Make a Rope Swing" on its own terms. Fisher's been to this well before, confronting the racially charged topic of immigration in his 2010 play "Do Not Hit Golf Balls Into Mexico."
"Racism isn't a conversation one group of people should always keep to themselves when, historically, white people shoulder so much responsibility," Fisher said.
Fisher is an associate professor at Utah State University, where he also heads the graduate program in theater. His play was sparked by the image of a huge, severed trunk of an oak tree he saw more than 20 years ago during a visit to North Carolina. The remnant of the live oak was scarred black at its center from what he was told were fires stoked by slaves for cooking purposes almost 200 years ago. From that scar, the center expanded outward in rings.
"[The scar] didn't go away," Fisher said. "It just became deeper and harder to see."
The metaphor grew in his mind, too. It eventually connected with memories of his grandmother, who taught public school in Bridgeton, N.J., and was one of the first teachers asked to integrate black students into the classroom in the late 1950s after Brown v. Board of Education, the U.S. Supreme Court decision desegregating schools.
"South Jersey," Fisher reminds cast and crew of the play, was known to many African-Americans at the time as "the Mississippi of the North." That his grandmother also "held some fairly racist views" made writing the script even more intriguing the kind of material, in short, that few playwrights could resist.
"How to Make a Rope Swing" opens Feb. 5 in a Salt Lake Acting Company world-premiere production directed by Adrianne Moore. Echoes of Fisher's grandmother's story have been shaped into the story of Mrs. Delores Wright, a well-meaning woman limited by her narrow understanding of a changed world, played by Utah actor Jayne Luke. Her denial and fear of the past collide against Arthur "Bo" Wells, the longtime custodian of Oakbranch Public School near Delaware Bay, where Wright once ruled as principal. Wells, who is African-American, wants the wrongs visited on his wife, who worked under Wright as a teacher at the school, acknowledged as such.
Wells, played by Glenn Turner, has been granted tenuous naming rights to the new school once Oakbranch is shuttered and demolished. But like many negotiations marred by race and misunderstanding, that right is in constant flux, even if it's a power Wells is determined to exercise.
"Suggesting is practically picking and still that's something. That is something, isn't it?" Wells asks.
The young white custodian Mick, played by Lucas Bybee, is Wells' somewhat clueless sidekick, a character upon whom Wells vents his frustrations. But Wells is equally honest with former principal Wright during the play's scenes of a power blackout during cold winter nights.
Director Moore said she was immediately struck by the lyrical quality of Fisher's play after first reading it. At the same time, it kept her guessing about what would happen next.
"I liked how it dealt with the difficulty of sounding out someone's true nature, the impulse to take the moral high ground and people's desires to judge," Moore said.
Turner, a New York City-based actor, is creating the character of Wells at the request of Salt Lake Acting Company co-producer Cynthia Fleming. He said he was impressed by the hills and valleys of Fisher's story and the cast's open-minded approach to his suggestions to fleshing out details in the script.
African-American playwright August Wilson,Turner notes, was noted for never letting white theater professionals direct his plays. Working from Fisher's belief that race is a two-way conversation, Turner took the playwright up on his offer.
"If you know how to say 'I don't know' in approaching a difficult subject, you can do almost anything in theater," Turner said. "That's a difficult thing for some people in show business to admit."

After watching the now-you-see-it-now-you-don't efforts of the Utah Jazz over the past few weeks in their supposedly urgent push for the NBA playoffs, Thursday's first game of the NCAA Tournament in the Jazz's building brought something entirely different: authentic urgency.
By the winning Wichita State Shockers.
No shock.
That's the absolute best characteristic of the madness of March. Every game means everything. Every game is a seventh game. There's no setup for whatever comes next. There's only right now. It's immediate, both the spoils and the heartbreak.
Split emotion, then, was everywhere here.
From WSU's senior guard Malcolm Armstead, who led his team with 22 points: "You got to leave it all on the floor at the end of the day and play for your teammates and brothers."
From WSU junior forward Cleanthony Early, who scored 21 points: "Play like you want it. Play with passion and heart and things like that. That's what we tried to do."
From Pitt's senior guard Tray Woodall, who made 1 of 12 shots, turned the ball over five times, fouled out, and broke down in the postgame: "It's a bitter taste in my mouth to end my career with one of the worst games I've ever played in my history. I'm sorry I let my team down. One of the worst games I've ever played."
When Pittsburgh and Wichita State took the court, it wasn't the prettiest engagement. Far from it. College basketball rarely is, viewed through the elevated prism of what we're used to seeing in the NBA. But the feeling with which the game is played is refreshing, especially in a setting like this.
Again, the Shockers gave amply in that regard. Efficiency was in shorter supply.
In this particular case, the grasping of the import of each possession seemed to adversely affect both the Panthers and the Shockers. The teams combined to hit 3 of 37 from beyond the arc. Terrible. There were badly shanked airballs, errant passes, travels and other turnovers, but there also were a couple of positives: tough defense and that care factor so high it punched you in the face.
At the end, the numbers illuminated on the board: WSU 73, Pitt 55.
Seated in the crowd, among other NBA personnel kings, were Miami's Pat Riley and the Jazz's Kevin O'Connor, probably checking out a few big men, including Pitt freshman Steven Adams and Wichita senior Ehimen Orukpe. Up in the next game: Gonzaga's Kelly Olynyk.
Side note of no real significance: Adams, a 7-footer from New Zealand, is one of 18 siblings.
But nobody on the court on either team was concerning himself with what the pros thought. They were worried more about the business at hand, winning a game they had to win, which, as mentioned, is the beauty of the whole deal.
With the pep bands blowing their horns and beating their drums, with cheerleaders shaking their pom-pons and a Shocker mascot wearing a creepy expression on his face and what looked like an industrial-sized bucket of wheat on his head, and a crowd growing in size as the game wore on, Wichita Sate took control.
A nervous first half, during which the margin between the teams was no more than two points until the end, settled into an impressive second for the Shockers. Pitt, which, according to some measures, had the most efficient offense in the country, shot just 30 percent early and 35 percent overall.
WSU was worse 28.6 percent over the initial 20 minutes, but jacked that to 52 percent in the second. With each successful trip, the Shockers got calmer and more confident.
They were the No. 9 seed, coming from the Missouri Valley Conference, taking on the No. 8 from the Big East, seeking to justify itself, looking for something to prove. In reality, historically speaking, the 9s actually have a winning record against the 8s.
True to that form, Wichita State ousted the Panthers, and lived to play on.
And now it looks to play No. 1 Gonzaga to keep its emotional run alive.

The British have decided to steal a page from the successful "Awakening Councils" program in Iraq which used paying money and arming Sunni groups in order to wean away from al-Qaeda a large segment of the Iraqi Sunni population. Britain plans to pay tribal elders in Helmand province monthly cash "bribes" as part of a controversial "Afghan Awakening" scheme to persuade tribes to turn against the Taliban. British Foreign Secretary David Miliband met with President Karzai to discuss the idea and then flew to Helmand province in order to get officers on the scene to participate in the proposed plan. There are reports several tribes in the northwest region of Pakistan are being paid to fight against al-Qaeda.
There are several aspects to the program such as will it result in some tribal leaders becoming wealthy or will the money be shared with large segments of the population in order to fund a mass movement against the Taliban? In Afghanistan men of fighting age identify with local elder village leaders and if this group can be won over, it will help to fight militants. An important aspect of the program is extending the power of the Afghan government in areas where their influence is meager.

Singapore adventurer Khoo Swee Chiow has carved his name in the record books as the first Southeast Asian man to summit Mount Everest three times. On his third attempt to scale the world's highest peak, Khoo got a storage assist from Seagate.
Khoo, 47, brought along two 500 GB Seagate GoFlex Ultra-portable drives (now transitioned to Backup Plus), which he used to capture several high-resolution images and HD videos taken with a Canon 5D Mark II digital camera.
HP, Seagate and Canon were among the corporate sponsors of Khoo's Altitude X adventure to scale eight of the world's highest mountains. Everest was the first leg of that adventure, which Khoo conquered last May.
Two-Faced Mountain
Rising 8,848 meters (29,029 feet) above sea level, Everest can be scaled from two sides—the northern ridge from Tibet and the southern ridge from Nepal. For his third try, Khoo chose the former and more challenging route.
Before summiting, climbers must spend time adjusting to the mountain's extreme altitude, building up their strength and stamina. Khoo and his team spent several weeks at Advanced Base Camp, or ABC, situated at 6,400 meters (20,997 feet). The desolate camp is also where Seagate's drives made their home.
During his stay at ABC, Khoo took hundreds of photos and several videos. In his past climbs, Khoo had only the camera's memory card to store images. With Seagate's spacious GoFlex Ultra-portable drives (now transitioned to Backup Plus), however, he didn't have to worry about choosing which shots to keep or delete. Seagate's drives also offered Khoo the benefits of speed and portability.
"At 6,400 meters, the air pressure and oxygen is very low," Khoo said. "Every bit of energy you exert needs to have purpose behind it. Ease of use and simplicity with my equipment is very important. The Seagate drives were compact, high in capacity and quick. The FireWire 800 capability ensured large files were transferred with little effort."
Durable Drives
Khoo was equally impressed with the drives' durability. Despite being exposed to high altitudes and chilling -25°C temperatures, Khoo said the drives worked without a hitch.
"I never had a single drive failure, which was incredible, considering where they were being stored," he said.
While Seagate's storage stood up to the rigors of Everest, the mountain took its toll on Khoo's climbing partners. After three weeks at camp, three climbers from his party of five withdrew, leaving only Khoo, his sherpas and a partner. On May 21, the window for ideal summit conditions finally opened. Nature had another obstacle to throw at him, however.
After leaving camp at 8:30 a.m., Khoo found he was temporarily blinded due to constant exposure to the cold, dry wind. He stumbled for seven hours on the North Face as his vision slowly cleared.
With courage, resolve and help from his teammates, Khoo pushed on and reached the top of the world for a third time. And the images and videos stored on his Seagate drives ensure that Khoo's adventure can be shared with audiences around the globe.
An in-demand motivational speaker, Khoo plans to "ignite the spirit of adventure and accomplishment in people of all ages."
"Scaling the mountain is one thing," he said, "but being able to retell the story and bring the adventure to life is another. Thanks to Seagate's drives, I have a visual record of my expedition and can share it easily."

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
I was watching an interview with the Rodarte Sister and the stylest for Black Swan. It was very interesting when they pointed out how the colors in Nina's (nathalie portman) clothing change through out the film. In the beginning she wears mostly pink with some blues and purple. Then in the middle she brings in brown into her wardrobe. And all the way to the end she wears black. I thought it would be cool to make a zine of Black Swan!
Info: print, 8"x5.5", 6 pieces of paper that are double sided (10pages), comes with my signature on the back.
-there are ten illustrations
- A lot of cute and fun pages including: plain credits for the lead actors, Bio on Nina (Nathalie Portman's character), Nina's wardrobe, Quote from the movie(" I just want to be perfect"), illustration with subtitles and a few other pretty illustrations from photo's i found on tumblr.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — North Carolina overcame a four-goal second-half deficit to claim a 10-9 win over #15 Fairfield in men's lacrosse action Saturday afternoon at Fetzer Field. Marcus Holman's five goals and one assist helped improve UNC to 2-1 while the Stags lost their first game of the season and also stand at 2-1.
Fairfield ran off five goals in a row in a span which sandwiched halftime in between. The Stags got the last four goals of the second quarter to erase a 3-2 UNC lead and when Jordan Greenfield scored an unassisted goal with 10:31 left in the third period the Stags led 7-3. On the same play, UNC's Steve Pontrello was called for slashing, put Fairfield up for a minute. But after winning the faceoff, T.J. Neubauer was stripped by Kieran McDonald and then Tar Heels scored on the fast break at the other end at 9:18 as Joey Sankey was assisted by Greg McBride to cut the deficit to three.
That sparked a three-goal run for Carolina in just 30 seconds. R.G. Keenan won two face-offs in a row. Keenan fed Marcus Holman for a goal at 9:05 and then 17 seconds later Jimmy Bitter rolled the crease and fired one off Fairfield goalie Jack Murphy and into the goal. Just like that it was only a one-goal deficit for Carolina.
The Stags would get the final tally of the third quarter as Tristan Sperry scored unassisted at 4:24. The Stags still carried a two-goal lead into the fourth quarter. Less than six minutes into the fourth quarter, the Tar Heels had regained the lead. While falling to the ground midfielder Chad Tutton scored for the Heels on a low shot below Murphy with 10:44 left. The Tar Heels then got the tying goal on a crazy sequence set up by Carolina's ride which forced Fairfield into eight failed clears on the day.
After Carolina won the face-off, Murphy twice made saves on shots by Bitter but both times Carolina forced turnovers before Fairfield could even get the ball past midfield. On the second successful ride, Holman scooped up the ground ball, charged in unguarded and twice faked Murphy before depositing the goal in the back of the net for a tie game. Again, Keenan would win the face-off as he was 8 of 12 in the second half (13 of 22 on the game). Joey Sankey then shook his defender and scored one-on-one against Murphy for a 9-8 UNC lead with 8:48 left.
Fairfield would get a tying goal on an extra-man situation with 6:51 left as Nick Guida took an inside feed from Sam Snow to give the Stags their only EMO goal of the game. R.G. Keenan came up with the next face-off win and Davey Emala assisted Holman's fifth and final goal of the game for the eventual match-clincher, making it 10-9 with 5:46 left.
Except for a one-minute possession by UNC, the Stags had the ball for the remainder of the final 5:46 of play. Tristan Sperry hit the cross bar at 4:19 and two other shots were off cage. Jake Bailey was sent off for slashing at 3:14 but Andrew O'Connell, who played the second half in goal for UNC, stopped a shot by Sperry with 2:56 to play. Carolina cleared but a turnover with 1:33 to play gave the ball back to Fairfield which called timeout with 1:14 left.
The Tar Heel defense came up big, however, as Fairfield got only one shot off when O'Connell stopped Sperry with 38 seconds left. Despite getting two more ground balls, the Stags did not get another shot off and Ryan Kilpatrick claimed a grounder for UNC as the clock ran out.
Besides Holman's six points, UNC got a pair of goals from Joey Sankey and one goal and one assist each from both Jimmy Bitter and Davey Emala. Fairfield had a balanced scoring effort with Sam Snow, Tristan Sperry and Nick Guida each scoring twice. Snow also had an assist. T.J. Neubauer had had a goal and an assist for Fairfield.
Carolina outshot Fairfield 39-28 and won the ground ball battle 42-34. Keenan won 13 of 22 face-off to lead the charge for UNC at the X. He also had a game-high 10 ground balls, just two short of his career high. Two UNC long poles, Kieran McDonald and Ryan Kilpatrick had career highs in ground balls with seven and five, respectively. Goalkeeper Jack Murphy led Fairfield with eight ground balls.
Turnovers played a big part in the game. Fairfield had 21 and UNC 15. The Tar Heel ride caused eight failed clears while UNC only failed twice on its clearing attempts. Jake Bailey, sophomore defenseman, led the way with five caused turnovers for UNC while sophomore rope Matt Shannon had two.
Murphy went the whole way in goal for the Stags, making 14 saves. Kieran Burke and Andrew O'Connell each played a half for UNC, with Burke making four saves and O'Connell three.
After the Tar Heel scored the opening goal, Fairfield struck twice with Sam Snow scoring with two seconds left in the first quarter to give the Stags a 2-1 lead at the quarter break.
Carolina got the first two goals of the second quarter courtesy of Emala and Holman. But the Stags ran off four goal in the final 5:57 of the period to take a 6-3 lead at the half. There were four different goal scorers in that stretch for Fairfield.
The Tar Heels will next be in action next Saturday when they travel to South Bend, Ind., to meet third-ranked Notre Dame at 12 noon.

I'm excited.
Q4 2010 is pretty close. Probably will be realistically Q4 in 2011 or Q1 in 2012 for us (since Q4 2010 probably means Korea).
"ESTsoft will launch business expansion compaigns for its Howling Sword and Cabal Online 2 in a "cross-spiral" manner. ESTsoft's Cabal Online has attracted countless players all over the world since it was launched in 2005, and the sale of Cabal Online kept increasing steadily every year. In addition, it also created 100 billion Korean won global revenue in 2009."
"ESTsoft's second self-developed MMORPG Cabal Online 2: The Fate of Rivals (working title), sequel to the famous project Cabal Online, is being developed under four principles including popularity, abundance, quality and uniqueness. ESTsoft is trying to seek harmony between solo play and teamwork in the game. In addition, they will provide changeable dungeons and unique storylines for each class. Cabal Online 2: The Fate of Rivals is scheduled to meet players in Q4, 2010."
You can tell from the images where I got my information from.

- Changes in default firewall: Seems like
firewalldwill at last become the default solution come Fedora 18. This was a bit confusing in the past because it was suggested that this change would have been complete by Fedora 17. Nevertheless, a welcome update that should add flexibility and ease of use in an important area.
- GNOME 3.6 & KDE SC 4.9: Rebase to the latest from both desktop managers. As a side bonus, XFCE 4.10 is also included.
- MATE Desktop: Now, this is an interesting one... The flagship GNOME Shell distribution bringing MATE (GNOME 2.x fork) with it? I won't read much into it, but I am glad to see Fedora being so flexible and supportive of its user community requests. Kudos!
- Anaconda revisited: Yes, the Fedora official installer wizard will get a UI revamp. This was much needed and tipped for a Beefy Miracle release by some. I guess it was not ready then, but seems to be now. Bring it on!
- Update to RPM 4.10: Now, this is one of those critical ones that users will not necessarily notice, but should bring improved performance and stability with it, specially around the software management area. YUM is already quite faster than it used to be, but any improvement is certainly welcome.
- Active Directory: "Fedora should be able to be used on an Active Directory domain (or other kerberos realms, such as IPA) out of the box. It should be easy to configure domain logins on a Fedora machine, and then it should be intuitive and uneventful to login with those credentials." A must in the corporate realm.
- Secure Boot: This is an interesting feature that should make Fedora 18 fully compatible with Windows 8 machines.
systemd migration, updating Liberation fonts to version 2.0 and many more. I recently posted that Fedora 17 KDE is currently my favorite KDE (and GNOME) distro and will certainly be looking for this upcoming release as a nice Christmas present.
Aside from specifics, I must say I like the approach Fedora is taking lately. Back in Fedora 15 and 16 releases, I was a bit disappointed to see most new features and updates concentrate around administrator and developer areas of interest. It felt like Fedora was a specialist distro only. I am happy to see Fedora expanding and concentrating on standard user areas of interest as well.

In the Beginning
These opening two verses of Scripture introduce us to the One for whom and by whom all things were made. The self-existent Lord of the universe existed before everything was created, and He alone has the ability to create freely ...Read More
Mosaic Authorship
Whether or not we affirm the essential Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch has a direct bearing on the Lordship of Christ. Our Savior affirmed that Moses wrote the Pentateuch on many occasions (for example, Matt. 19:1–12; compare to Deut. 24:1–4), ...Read More
The General Epistles
Take some time to read through the book of James before we begin our studies tomorrow. As you read, meditate on a few of the verses, and pray that the Holy Spirit would begin to open your mind and heart ...Read More
