I love all your series (TWIM,TWIV, and TWIP) and learn immensely from them. I am a Clinical Research Nurse and work at NIH in the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) unit that houses the KPCR patients that you may have recently read about.
I'd like to hear a discussion about this isolate as you educate everyone so thoroughly. Our hospital has worked diligently to track and eliminate this organism from our hospital and we've just about succeeded but I'd still like to be better informed about KPCR. Thanks.
P.S. Please Please Please start a TWIB!! We work with so much that I still need to be educated about various bacteria.
Thanks immensely for all the education you give us.

Hi Vincent and Friends,
Thank you very much for the informative and often imaginative discussions that take place in TWiM. It's a real pleasure to listen to such a quality, fun, easily accessible (and free!) source of microbial material. I'm sure you are often thanked for taking the effort to put it out there, but I wanted to add my voice. As a cell and molecular biology student it offers some wonderful connections and points of interest to my education.
My question relates to a recently published book by Trudy M. Wassenaar that I have been reading, titled "Bacteria: The Benign, the Bad, and the Beautiful." Has anyone read this book, and if so what are their thoughts on it? I would recommend it to those with a broad interest, or who need an introduction, like students such Pokies as myself. It offers an incredibly interesting and diverse description of bacteria and is easy to understand. I actually picked it up because it was recommended by the google+ "Microbiology" account (https://plus.google.com/u/0/109102265263486263584/posts).
Thanks again, and warm regards.

TWiM Audio File with Interactive Transcription
Here is a link to a partial, video I created from the TWiM 06 audio file: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtOXD_X6g_w. I created a video file from the audio file so that I could use the YouTube captioning tool to import an interactive transcript -- minutes five (5) through twelve (12). I created the time-coded transcript using an online tool called Subtitle-Horse, (http://subtitle-horse.com).
If you click the interactive transcript button on the button-bar (Like, Dislike, Add to, etc) just below the video player, you can see how the transcript works. The transcript is indexed, time coded to the audio.
Potential Benefit of Interactive Transcription
The time-coded transcript text could be parsed and placed in a database for easy query. Then all included audio/video files are text searchable and associated to the segment of the source audio/video clip.
Collaborative Transcription
On TWiV a number of people have completed or are working on transcripts. In my experience, transcription is a time intensive process. To lighten individual time commitment, it would be nice to get several people to work collaboratively to transcribe one TWiV audio/video. Although far from perfect, the subtitle-horse online transcription tool could be used for this.
Volunteer to Help TranscribeAs a first step, if interested, I'd be interested in coordinating a collaborative transcription of a TWiV session with one to three others.

I just get a kiss at the door
I have jury duty today. Trying to get out by chat time.
Hi Meredith,
I'm wondering what people think about the following situation. I have gone on about eight dates over approximately five weeks with a woman who is really nice, personable, etc. Someone I feel like I could really be into. She has also made clear that she is into me.
The problem is that things are not progressing physically like I am used to. I am really trying to be patient, but we have only kissed and she has made clear that because she has a test coming up, it likely would not progress farther for a month.
I am not used to this. We are in the phase of dating right now where I usually always want to make out with my new partner (even if she wants to move slow on the pajama parties) and she wants to make out with me. In this case, my date seems content to hang out for a couple of hours and then kiss at the door and say goodnight. It makes me feel like she has no desire for me.
When I have addressed the progression, she says that we have not spent enough time together. However, it's her schedule that prevents this, and when I hang out with her on the weekend, her mother has always "conveniently" been over at her place "working" so we could not go there (I live a ways away and I have gone to her for every date), and she cuts the date short at like 10 p.m. It's weird. She wants to see me, doesn't think we spend enough time together, but when I devote an entire evening, she's done early.
I guess my real question is: Is it wrong that I find this bizarre? Does this girl just consider me a nice companion? Is she someone with attachment issues? I know she has been up front about her "schedule," but is it normal to want to find out about physical chemistry more than kisses at the door by this point?
– Wanting More ... Badly, NY.
I don't think that this woman has attachment issues. I think it's fine that she's sort of slow. But her pace suggests that she might not be the right match for you. Maybe. It's sort of too soon to tell, and the test thing is throwing me off.
I'd wait out the test and then see what's up. If she's balancing school/work/family, these past five weeks might be a bit of a blur.
I don't expect her to show up at your house naked as soon as the test is over, but I would hope that dates would get longer, conversation would get deeper, and that there'd be more physical contact even if it's not overtly sexual. You should be getting closer -- physically and emotionally. If that's not happening after another few dates/weeks, you can write this one off.
Also, if she has a car, she should start coming to you. I don't like that you're doing all of the schlepping. Test aside, you shouldn't be doing all the work. After eight or ten dates, she should want to get a glimpse of your life.
Readers? Is this weird? Are they simply not a match? Is this about the test? Does the mother thing bother you? What should he do? Help.
– Meredith

Weather Radar Tile is an interesting Windows Phone 8 weather app that not only allows you to access weather forecasts and radar, but also pin a radar tile to your Windows Phone Start Screen. The radar Live Tiles are not animated but do update periodically to give you a snap shot of what's headed your way. Weather forecasts and radar are provided through the National Weather Service and locations are U.S. only.
Weather Radar Tile isn't a bad Windows Phone 8 app but navigation isn't the smoothest. The app is worth a try but may not appeal to everyone.

1) -n-1 means sort key is the last field
2) -l is important if each separate record is on a new line (usually so for text files)
3) -j tells msort not to create log file (msort.log) in the working directory
4) may need to install msort package.
5) msort does lot more. Check man msort
usage examples
ls largedir |rd
lynx -dump largewebsite.com |rd
rd < largelogfile
splits a postscript file into multiple postscript files. for each page of the input file one output file will be generated. The files will be numbered for example 1_orig.ps 2_orig.ps ...
The psselect commad is part of the psutils package
Convert all jpegs in the current directory into ~1024*768 pixels and ~ 150 KBytes jpegs
Renames files in a directory to incremental numbers, following alphabetic order. The command does not maintain extensions.
This heavy one liner gets all the files in the "/music/dir/" directory and filters for non 44.1 mp3 files. After doing this it passes the names to sox in-order to re-sample those files. The original files are left just in case.
This command will download $file via server. I've used this when FTP was broken at the office and I needed to download some software packages.
This takes quite a while on my system. You may want to test it out with /bin first, or background it and keep working.
If you want to get rid of the "No manual entry for [whatever]" and just have the [whatever], use the following sed command after this one finishes.
sed -n 's/^No manual entry for \(.*\)/\1/p' nomanlist.txt
A shortcut to generate documentation with phpdoc. Defaults to HTML; optionally to PDF if third argument is given. Stores documentation in cwd under ./docs/. I forget the syntax to the output, -o, option, so this is easier.
count the times a domain appears on a file which lines are URLs in the form http://domain/resource.
-r to use extended regex
^ begin line
| alternative
get 100 or 0-9 one or two times
This will search all directories and ignore the CVS ones. Then it will search all files in the resulting directories and act on them.
Grab a list of MP3s (with full path) out of Firefox's cache
Ever gone to a site that has an MP3 embedded into a pesky flash player, but no download link? Well, this one-liner will yank the *full path* of those tunes straight out of FF's cache in a clean list.
Shorter and Intuitive version of the command submitted by (TuxOtaku)
Ever gone to a site that has an MP3 embedded into a pesky flash player, but no download link? Well, this one-liner will yank the names of those tunes straight out of FF's cache in a nice, easy to read list. What you do with them after that is *ahem* no concern of mine. ;)
Finds all (not just adjacent) repeated lines in a file.
make sure that flac and lame are installed
sudo apt-get install lame flac
file displays a files type
the -L flag means follow sym-links (as libraries are often sym-linked to another this behavior is likely preferred)
more complex behavior (*two* grep commands!) could be used to determine if the file is or is not a shared library.
lists the files found by find, waits for user input then uses xdg-open to open the selected file with the appropriate program.
usage: findopen path expression [command]
With the third optional input you can specify a command to use other than xdg-open, for example you could echo the filename to stdout then pipe it to another command.
To get it to work for files with spaces it gets a bit messier...
findopen() { files=( $(find "$1" -iname "$2" | tr ' ' '@') ); select file in "${files[@]//@/ }"; do ${3:-xdg-open} "$file"; break; done }
You can replace the @ with any character that probably wont be in a file name.

Skeleton Swing
It is warm today giving me time to sit and bask in the sun.
Gentle breeze lifted my hair;
A dried seed pod from the tree above floated down
To join the many other brown twelve-inch long pods littering the ground.
The skeleton of a backyard swing sat forlorn
Above the stepping stones I brought on the plane from Carolina.
No children now skipped upon the stones nor leapt into the once swinging chair;
Broken, it stood bare and alone, the frame waiting for a new occupant.

I got in a RPD receiver from DSA today, overall it looks excellent, the same quality as thier FAL stuff. it has a black finish on it like thier fal receivers. it is straight and well machined. I fitted a charging handle and lower and they weny on easily. I need to machine a bolt carrier to fit to see how the rest of the internals fit. it comes with an ejector installed which is nice because mosr kits are missing them and they run about $25.00.
my only concern is how the feed tray and feed cover fit, it appears the feed cover pin is to low or the feed tray slot is not deep enough. we had this problem with the Wise Lite receivers. this fit is critical as the gun will not feed or function properly if these parts are not installed correctly.
I ordered a kit from Military Gun Supply today and as soon as it arrives I will do a build to see how it goes. If all goes well we will start building RPD's again using these receivers.

The redesign version. I like the mask. Well cleans pores. Face was hot the first few minutes after application. My skin tolerates it well. The pores are cleansed gradually, over time, the effect becomes more prolonged. That is, pores are clean not only the first hours after the application of the mask and have a longer duration 1.5 - 2 days. This is good news, but it should be noted that prior to using this product, my pores not were in terrible condition. I use a mask 2 times a week. I have oily skin, especially the T-zone. Visit my page for more reviews... // Обновленная версия. Мне понравилась маска. Поры хорошо чистит. Припекает лицо первые минуты после нанесения. Моя кожа переносит это хорошо. Поры очищаются постепенно, эффект со временем становится все более пролонгирован. Т.е. поры остаются чистыми не только первые часы после применения маски а уже более длительный срок 1,5 - 2 дня. Это не может не радовать, но должна отметить что перед началом применения данного продукта, поры у меня не были в ужасном состоянии. Маской пользуюсь 2 раза в неделю. Кожа у меня жирная, особенно Т-зона. Больше отзывов на моей странице. Велкам! :)
Really good

Check out my pages for more of my recent reviews! The mask is seriously a miracle. Pores clear up and cleanse when you use as a mask. I put the recommended amount and try to use it every other day. Makes my skin a lot clearer and fixes those nasty pores that everyone sees!

JUST A NOTE UP FRONT. IHERB HAS THE ABSOLUTE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE! DO NOT EXPECT ANY HELP AT ALL IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH YOUR ORDER. IT HASN'T SHIPPED IN FOUR DAYS? SORRY, THEY CAN'T TELL YOU WHY OR WHEN IT WILL SHIP. NONSENSE! I really like this mask. My pore really do look smaller after using. You have to use it regularly though to keep the effect. Reasonably priced though.
Great Product

I have mild hormonic acne with breakouts when i am stressed and my period is not stabbilized , pig pores, and oily skin. This mask is absolutely fine for me and my skin. The first time i used it i saw i BIG minimizement of my pores. Then i used it after 2 days, overally 3-4 times a week. My skin can bear it. The next times i didn't see the first dramatic change, but i think it actually helps and minimizes pores. Moreover, this is not leaving the skin dry at all, quite the opposite. It doesn't need even a muisturizing cream after. I tottaly recommend this mask to dry skins also. Tottaly value for money, effective and i'm gonna repurchase it again!

It is, certainly, the best mask that I've ever tried. It really makes the pores look smaller, and cleans the skin. I may say that I used it for a month now and I noticed real improvement in my skin. I used it twice a week, after cleansing my skin with Mint Julep Scrub. Even so,it's pretty abrasive, cause my skin starts burning a little, and has some redness after use, but it goes in like 10-15min, so it's okay.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
One thing to remember when cruising, you don't need to jibe and tack in a split second like on a race course. My buddy has a mid '80 Hunter 38 cutter. and when he need to tack or jibe alone he simply rolls up the jib then unrolls it when the turn is completed. The main is basically self tending. Just trim up the main, set the traveler in the middle, and go. His staysail is on a boom. The process would be the same even if your staysail is not selftending. Not much too it.
One rig you may want to look at is a sloop with a removeable inner forstay. You can sail as a sloop, but when the wind pipes up, roll up the jib and rig the inner. Only one head sail to manage, and it easy to tack.
My first boat was a C&C 36. I wanted a removable inner stay, but my boat had a bady stay that would get in the way. I tacked and jibed my 150 jib and I never had roller furling. You just have to be quick and your gear bullet proof. I am currently boat shopping and I want this rig, or possibly a solent rig.
Good Luck.
|You can clearly see the second reef mark near my left shoulder in my current avatar.......i2f
I believe when wind magic gets more experience , and especially cruising, his ideas will change drastically. I would prefer a windvane over an electric autopilot, but I would want both if I could. A windvane to actually handle the wind, and a small autopilot to handle no wind. You don't need much of an autopilot to steer when there is no wind .
Try hanking on sails alone when the big stuff hits the fan. Your body will be leaving the deck while trying to hank on sails, or you can do like me. Stuff yourself under the jacklines to stay on the deck .
A prudent sailor will furl the headsail before it's a problem. If you have a cutter like myself as typed before, just furl the genny some more, and she's gone with the stysail working. Many headsails with have a couple of reefing marks on the foot of the sail. Usually you will find by the time you reach the second reef it's time for the stysail anyway, because the head sail has lost some of it's effeciency.
If these furling headsails are so bad! Then why do all the BIGTIME sailors doing the Southern Ocean, or the complete world using them ?
Everybody gets through life differently, and that includes sailing too. Do your research, and gather knowledge from the forums. I personally think you are on the right track with your thinking.
My personal thought on sailing the islands. An electric autopilot over the wind vane, and a windvane when you cross oceans. ......BEST WISHES.......i2f
Thanks aerie,
Much of what you point out has occurred to me.
Sailing a 42 footer alone is impressive by itself!
One question; if there's no wind how much further will an autopilot get you?
Autopilot as second crew member
I singlehand my 42-footer in the Caribbean and consider my below-decks autopilot my second crew member. Yes, it's an energy hog, but a wind vane will not work if there's no wind. You need to be able to trust your autopilot not only to go on deck to handle sails but also to be able to go below to use the head, fix a sandwich, sleep on long passages, etc. I use the autotack feature all the time, but to be honest, I try to plan my passages to minimize the need to tack at all.
Roller furling headsails are a necessity in my opinion, and your plan to use a Gale Sail which hanks on over the furled headsail is a good idea. The question of furling main or slab-reefing is a purely personal decision. I personally elected to go with slab reefing with a single line so I don't have to leave the cockpit to reef.
Other things to consider: Can you get the dinghy on deck by yourself? Do you have a way to hoist the outboard to attach it to the stern rail? Can you use the radio without leaving the helm? A remote command mic or handheld VHF should be on your equipment list. And be sure to wear a harness and use the tether whenever you are out of the cabin. If you go off the boat, even if tethered to the boat, you probably won't be able to get back aboard. Wear a knife on your harness.

|My davits and wind sayes rig wind vane coexist ok but dingy comes off and goes below before going offshore.Keith.
I dont think anyone has mentioned this but you said that you wanted Davits for you're dink? I don't think Davits and a Wind Vane will co-exist, well not being used at the same time anyway.
I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.

From what I've been able to find, cockpit mounted autopilots although common are prone to failure and below-deck autopilots are recommended. I really don't know the difference, beyond 'where' they are on the boat. But wind vanes sound less likely to disappoint, and simple is better, right?
Any comments from the old salts here?

|If you have a boat with a below deck autopilot, it might not be a bad idea to install a wheel auto pilot as well(they're pretty reasonably priced). It'll give you a back up in case one or the other fails, and wheel auto pilots typically use less juice, good if you have the boat balanced well and/or are sailing in conditions that don't require a lot of force on the rudder to maintain course.
Hi again everyone,
As far as I can tell from my research and your great posts to my question, it's possible to singlehand a 34-40 foot boat without autopilot or roller furlings - as long as you have the sailing skills, a fearless personality and a harness.
There are advantages to head sail furlers, such as raising the sail without leaving the helm and no need to find below deck storage for the sail - something for a live-aboard to consider.
Negative issues with furling systems are more maintenance, UV protection for the furled sail, and difficulty setting a storm jib. These negatives can be overcome at a cost.
So for me, until I become a skilled, fearless sailor - I'll be using a below deck autopilot, furled headsails with a good system such as ProFurl, Schaefer or Furlex, a self-tending jib, and a gale sail that can be set around a furled headsail. Oh - and also a harness for every time I step out of the cockpit, of course.
Great discussion - Thanks everyone!

I should add, Bella is only 9 weeks old, so really young yet and figuring things out!
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
Little possessive aggression around vomit
Little Bella is sure turning out to be a delight! She's amusing us at every turn and is impressing us with her smarts and train ability!
She is doing great with bite inhibition, waiting to eat until told, doing a settle, and leaving our pant legs alone. We can see improvement daily!
One thing we have noticed and maybe it's nothing much to worry about... Maybe all dogs do this. Our other dogs have not vomited in the house, as they are mainly farm dogs and outside, so it could be an all dog thing.
Bella, doesn't vomit often, but one morning she did soon after eating (was in the first couple days of getting her) and I went to grab her to haul her outside and she became so fired up about me near her vomit. We kind of chocked it up to being nervous, new, and not trusting us yet. Vet agreed as she had her shots a day later. We are able to handle all treats, food, toys with NO issues.
Now, fast forward to today ( we have now had BElla for 8 days) she sounded like she was going to vomit, so hubby went to grab her and take her outside, she growled (no vomit present), but once he picked her up, she was fine again and quit her aggressive attitude. These are the only instances we have ever had with her being irritated toward us, so I am not too freaked out yet.
I'd love any feedback, opinions you all may have on this. Maybe even just the explanation behind it, if there is one, would be great.
Breeder, when I discussed this with her, just said to put her in a gentle settle, if possible if it happens.

Very nice, congratulations.
Haven't logged on in a while. Had a thread in another forum tryin to choose a new conceal carry weapon. I've had my Sigma for a couple years, just wanted to get something smaller. Had been trying to decide between the Glock 27 and Springfield XD compacts until I went to the local range and saw the M&P 40C. I didn't know they had a compact version. As soon as I put it in my hand I knew I had to get it. So I did (along with a Beretta PX4 Storm that was on sale). Had to go to work for a few hours but as soon as I got off I went back and got some trigger time . Absolutely LOVED it. Groups very tight for a compact. Tighter in fact than some full size weapons I've fired. Just thought I'd get on here and say I really really like the M&P 40C.
Very nice, congratulations.
God I love those pistols. I have the exact same I carry as my concealed. For me it is hands down the most accurate thing I have shot. So accurate I am afraid to change the stock sights to night sites.
For mine I added a tlr-3 light and a ntac holster. Hands down the best "gun" invest I have ever purchased.
looks very good. i've been considering purchasing an m&p ever since I read an article about the us military and a couple of police departments sining with S&W for issuing m&p.

Regular expressions are an extremely powerful tool for manipulating text and data. They are now standard features in a wide range of languages and popular tools, including Perl, Python, Ruby, Java, VB.NET and C# (and any language using the .NET Framework), PHP, and MySQL.
If you don't use regular expressions yet, you will discover in this book a whole new world of mastery over your data. If you already use them, you'll appreciate this book's unprecedented detail and breadth of coverage. If you think you know all you need to know about regularexpressions, this book is a stunning eye-opener.
As this book shows, a command of regular expressions is an invaluable skill. Regular expressions allow you to code complex and subtle text processing that you never imagined could be automated. Regular expressions can save you time and aggravation. They can be used to craft elegant solutions to a wide range of problems. Once you've mastered regular expressions, they'll become an invaluable part of your toolkit. You will wonder how you ever got by without them.
Yet despite their wide availability, flexibility, and unparalleled power, regular expressions are frequently underutilized. Yet what is power in the hands of an expert can be fraught with peril for the unwary. Mastering Regular Expressions will help you navigate the minefield to becoming an expert and help you optimize your use of regular expressions.
Mastering Regular Expressions, Third Edition, now includes a full chapter devoted to PHP and its powerful and expressive suite of regular expression functions, in addition to enhanced PHP coverage in the central "core" chapters. Furthermore, this edition has been updated throughout to reflect advances in other languages, including expanded in-depth coverage of Sun's java.util.regex package, which has emerged as the standard Java regex implementation.Topics include:
Written in the lucid, entertaining tone that makes a complex, dry topic become crystal-clear to programmers, and sprinkled with solutions to complex real-world problems, Mastering Regular Expressions, Third Edition offers a wealth information that you can put to immediateuse.
Reviews of this new edition and the second edition:
"There isn't a better (or more useful) book available on regular expressions."
--Zak Greant, Managing Director, eZ Systems
"A real tour-de-force of a book which not only covers the mechanics of regexes in extraordinary detail but also talks about efficiency and the use of regexes in Perl, Java, and .NET...If you use regular expressions as part of your professional work (even if you already have a good book on whatever language you're programming in) I would strongly recommend this book to you."
--Dr. Chris Brown, Linux Format
"The author does an outstanding job leading the reader from regexnovice to master. The book is extremely easy to read and chock full ofuseful and relevant examples...Regular expressions are valuable toolsthat every developer should have in their toolbox. Mastering RegularExpressions is the definitive guide to the subject, and an outstandingresource that belongs on every programmer's bookshelf. Ten out of TenHorseshoes."

A book that lives up to its cover
By Bucfan
from Phoenix, AZ
About Me Sys Admin
I was sitting in a security class and my instructor started talking about regular expressions and asked the group if there was anyone that was good at regex. He was talking about manipulating data and said that a guy that is good at regex was very valuable. This really resonated with me and when I won this book at a SDSUG meeting and had the opportunity to read this book and write a review, I was very excited.One of the underlying themes of this book towards the beginning was that it really isn't possible to master regular expressions from a book. This may sound a bit disheartening but then it goes on to inform the reader that learning to think in regular expressions is a much more effective way to not only retain the information but make the reader a better practitioner of regular expressions.Coming into this book, my programming experience was limited to the introductory classes in college. Remember, I was in a security class when I first heard about this book. If this is you, it may be a bit daunting getting through the first two chapters. Fortunately chapter 3 took a step back and hammered home the theory of regular expressions. There is a lot of information in chapter 3 to take in but it all makes it worth it as the material starts to sink in more and more.I like how as the author continues to go more in depth and at the same time stops to provide quizzes that help to reinforce the material. I never really liked the model of having review questions at the end of the chapters. Having the review material broken up as you make your way through the book helps to retain the information better. At times, I failed the quiz but then I read the material again until I grasped it enough to pass the quiz.The first six chapters lay the foundation that help to "master expressions." I found these chapters the most useful for myself. The last four chapters deal with various programming languages. For someone such as myself that is more concerned with security and less with programming, I struggled with these chapters. If another reader is more familiar with development, these chapters will be more useful. This topic isn't one that is super sexy or exciting but it is extremely useful. The author does all that he can to keep the reader's interest and continue to build the material throughout the book. It always helps to reign you back in when you read something familiar. For anyone that is interested in analytics and web development, this book would be very helpful to make you more efficient by learning how to master regular expressions. For the reader who is more interested in security than development, this book is helpful but can be a bit challenging to get through. Overall, I think this book is well written and worth the read.

Best Regex resource available
By Kevin
from Phx, Az
I use regex daily, so I felt like I had a pretty good handle on the subject. After reading this book, I realized there is a wonderful and mind bogglingly complex world of theory behind regular expressions I was totally unaware of. After chapter three, you should have a good handle on using some regex in your day to day life. Chapters four through six will explode your brain, in a good way.The last chapters don't do a lot for me, but that doesn't mean they are not useful.The first six chapters are worth the price of admission. If you want to understand/use/apply regex, this book is second to none.

The best... Bar none!
By DarrellBlackhawk

About Me Developer
As many folks in the computer field have done, I've collected quite a number of technical books over the years. On my desk (which is 'L shaped') to the right, is a 2 shelf bookcase which is fully stocked from the top, to the two inner shelves, with 70 books (I just counted them). Jeffrey Friedl's "Mastering Regular Expressions" holds a prominent position on the bottom shelf at "right arm's length" - I probably reach for it 40% of the time. I guess that sums up my opinion of this great resource!
Wonderful, Great, Epic!
By ifeatu
from Undisclosed
This is a GREAT book for Linux Admins, beginning programmers with no formal training...and people into managing and manipulating data. It is well written and if you've used unix from the command line in any capasity (sed, ed, vi, emacs, bsh, csh, ksh...) then you'll have no problem following this book.

Mastering Regular Expressions, Third Edition
By Frederick J Eccher Jr
Mastering Regular Expressions, Third Edition By Jeffrey E. F. FriedlThird Edition August 2006 Pages: 542Series: Adobe Developer LibraryISBN: 0-596-52812-4Description Written in the lucid, entertaining tone that makes a complex, dry topic become crystal-clear to programmers, and sprinkled with solutions to complex real-world problems, Mastering Regular Expressions, Third Edition offers a wealth of information that you can put to immediate use. The description above is quite an understatement. Even the full description does not do this book justice. Mastering Regular Expressions, Third Edition is almost a classic and should be on your bookshelf, chained down. If your programming friends, coworkers, or enemies try to borrow this book, beware. It takes quite a while to get it back, even bent, spindled and mutilated so you might not want it back [yeah that was actually tried]. You might try a rule about using it at your desk, but that did not work for me either.My experience agreed with almost everything written, except that I do not have the in depth use of RegEx the author clearly has. I wish I was on the same page with him in experience with RegEx. I started with RegEx in college in the early 90s and remember six projects that I had to do that could have been much easier with this book. My programming experience used RegEx on occasion but not with the power explained in this book. I appreciate the detailed and thorough comparisons of the languages. The only word I really missed in the INDEX and Table of Contents was: SECURITY. Using RegEx to make sure security issues are properly handled would really help many programmers and developers.The topics start with a Preface, then moves to Introduction to Regular Expressions, then Extended Introductory Example, then Overview of Regular Expression Features and Flavors, then The Mechanics of Expression Processing, then the Practical Regex Techniques, then Crafting an Efficient Expression, then Perl, Java, .NET, PHP, and finally the Index. Remember to read the Preface, it is very interesting. The author makes some points about how to read the book [the first six chapters] and how to THINK. The 10 chapters are written very thoroughly. I like that about this book. Explanations of history and trivia are all over the place but are written like a story and easy to read. The figures are good and useful in the explanation of the concepts. The code is usually more than a few lines. This is a more complicated book and requires more expressive code examples.The topics are useful and helpful in just about any language, including the more recent powerful languages like .NET and Java.I thought the discriminations made about the different languages that use Regular Expressions went from general to specific in a hurry. Even so, the book is pretty long and needs to be digested in discrete chunks. No way to read this in one evening. There is no way to digest the concepts and comparisons very fast, at least for me. This is valuable knowledge worth your time to read and digest as thoroughly as possible.The 540+ pages were easy to read and understand, partly told as a story. I read it in one week. There were a few typos and grammar errors, but not very many. The book is for someone who is a beginner or an expert and needs to know the specific times when one regular expression has even a slight benefit over another. More experienced people should look it over to make sure they are up to speed with this author. I would give this book 5 out of 5 stars. Definitive!!!!!Frederick J Eccher Jr MBAM.S.

Good and enjoyed reading it
By Vikramaditya J
Regular Expressions is basically the same across most languages (some variations as how you use it and terminology differences too), whether it may be C#, Javascript, PHP, Ruby, Python, TCL, Perl, or JAVA. This is amazing and should be used as an hand book for students and beginning to intermediate developers. As the book is in third edition some basics of the programming languages are expected to be know by its readers. Overall its a good book and worth a reading.

Not a Reference! Everything you ever wanted to know about regex!
By ismism
As the author states, this is not a reference. It is everything you might ever want to know about regular expressions and then some. Well written, but a bit too epic for me, and if you aren't interested in perl - as I am not - there is a lot of information you just don't need (or want).

Re: Americas cup triple touch penalty to Kiwi's
With recent rule changes, in fleet racing, not match racing, rubbing has become almost impossible as the committees I have dealt with will just toss both boats, one for not giving rights, and the other for rubbing hulls. In larger vessels I understand the reasoning, however it is now near impossible to prove a point on a crowded start line without contact as the windward boat always claims they gave way. One trick I have used is to strike the other boats hull with my fist to make a loud bang so it is obvious that we were so close that crew in normal position could touch the other boat. It is quite frustrating on a start line to get rolled by someone claiming they gave way when they didn't make any effort to head up.
Re: Americas cup triple touch penalty to Kiwi's
I agree at most levels the participants are trying to win but not willing to play bumper boats to make that happen.

Strategically, I get why Barker didn't tack away. If he had, he would have clearly ended up a few boat lengths back. For making contact and getting stuck in the irons, he simply had a penalty for the same. He was taking his chances on a pretty even bet. Spithill just out maneuvered him.
Re: Americas cup triple touch penalty to Kiwi's
I don't believe the rules of the road are much different when racing over normal sailing they are applied differently though. In the normal world the rules are there to keep traffic safe and hoped to be applied with a bit of common courtesy. While racing the rules of the road are used as a weapon and knowing them and using them to your advantage is almost as important as boat speed while competing, much like lawyers in a court battle, where some of these battles can end up. This is even more so in match racing where tactical battles are a major part of the competition. Except in rare occasions in fleet racing you wouldnt sacrifice speed to tack and cover your opponent throughout race as this would cause you to lose time against the rest of the fleet.
The AC was unique in terms of instant protest followed by a quick decision by the judges. In the real world or at least my real world as far as racing is concerned. If a foul occurs and is protested it is up the boat that fouled to assess whether they fouled and take the penalty usually sailing a 360 or 720, or face being disqualified by the race committee after 2 hours of backroom litigation after the race. In an offshore race earlier this summer my boats (the one I race on) neighbor who rarely races had a fine race from Mission Bay to Oceanside and would have come in 2nd if not for the foul at the one pin to round. After 2 hours of race committee back room arguments in front of the protest committee was disqualified, after 7 hours of racing. He said next time hell just do a 360.
While a boat just sailing would not consider themselves the stand-on boat while passing until well clear of the other boat. While racing the moment the leward boat gets an overlap they are now using this advantage to try to control the other boat, as happened in this incident. As I remember this incident the kiwi skipper pointed up to avoid but anticipating Oracles move to return back on course and wanting to follow turned the wheel back to the left for a moment. I believe if the Kiwis had cranked the wheel hard right to avoid and still hit it would have been a penalty on Oracle for not giving room to maneuver.
When a boat acquires right of way, she shall initially give the other boat room to keep clear, unless she acquires right of way because of the other boats actions.
I remember at least once when Oracle protested and the commentators were wondering why the Kiwis werent as they felt the Kiwis had a better case as result of the incident.

Having raced a LOT for a LONG time i can assure you hitting each other is something that everybody REALLY looks to avoid
It is just stupid and at the end of the day your going to have to deal with and insurance company

I thought it was NZL saying, "were trying to tack (to give USA room as required)". NZL had moved their main to port tack and pulled the jib over as well, but were not falling off. While they seemed to move the sail DB seemed to be steering the boat back toward starboard, something the judges would take note of.
NZL should have just rolled into a tack, either way they lost a couple boat lengths.
Re: Americas cup triple touch penalty to Kiwi's
I'm pretty sure that you won't see the phrase "right of way" used anywhere in the rules of the road.
Re: Americas cup triple touch penalty to Kiwi's
I found this court case which I believe supports my claim.
Scuttlebutt News Center: Defining Liability Between Racing Yachts
Thus this court ignored the International Jury's findings, and turned to the COLREGS: Charles Jourdain was the overtaking yacht and obliged to keep clear, though the court found both yachts at fault (60% Charles Jourdain and 40% Endeavour).
The point here is that if the Colregs were the controlling law, the overtaking boat has to keep clear.
It is interesting that the windward boat was still assessed 40% not 0% which is very common as the court figures it takes two to tango and while the colregs say the overtaking boat has to keep clear the skipper of the stand-on vessel is obligated to not participate in a collision and he could have seen it coming and headed up apparently.
The case was appealed and the racing rules were finally used to adjudicate the collision and apparently the windward boat was assessed a much higher penalty.
So the lesson is that as cruisers we have to remember that the Americas Cup participants are following different rules from the ones we have to follow.
Re: Americas cup triple touch penalty to Kiwi's
Originally Posted by overbored View Post

The way I read (d) is that even if you get an overlap you do not instantly switch to either crossing or leeward you were burdened as an overtaking boat and continue to be thus burdened until their is no longer any risk of collision ie. fully clear.
This is standard ColRegs though. Obviously racing rules are different.
(a) Notwithstanding anything contained in the Rules of Part B, Sections I
and II, any vessel overtaking any other shall keep out of the way of the
vessel being overtaken.
(b) A vessel shall be deemed to be overtaking when coming up with
another vessel from a direction more than 22.5 degrees abaft her beam, that
is, in such a position with reference to the vessel she is overtaking, that at
night she would be able to see only the sternlight of that vessel but neither
of her sidelights.
(c) When a vessel is in any doubt as to whether she if overtaking another,
she shall assume that this is the case and act accordingly.
(d) Any subsequent alteration of the bearing between the two vessels shall not
make the overtaking vessel a crossing vessel within the meaning of these
Rules or relieve her of the duty of keeping clear of the overtaken vessel until
she is finally past and clear.
Re: Americas cup triple touch penalty to Kiwi's
Overlap has a different meaning in racing.
Rules: Overlapped or Not | Sailing World
In real life I've consider myself to have stand-on rights (and obligations) until I see your stern.

Chuks Aneke has extended his loan spell with Stevenage FC until March 6, 2012.
The 18-year-old midfielder joined the League One side in November on an initial two-month deal.
But having helped the 'Boro climb into the play-off positions in his five league appearances to date, Aneke will now stay on for a further five weeks where he will be looking to impress new boss, Gary Smith.
Prior to the loan move, Chuks was a key fixture of Neil Banfield's Reserves set-up, scoring four times in seven appearances this term. In an eventful few months for the youngster, he also made his first-team debut in September's 3-1 Carling Cup victory over Shrewsbury Town as a last-minute substitute. He signed a new contract in June 2011.
The England youth international, who is playing alongside former Gunner Luke Freeman at Broadhall Way, will not be eligible for Stevenage's FA Cup Fifth Round tie with Tottenham Hotspur.
Everyone at Arsenal wishes Chuks the best of luck during his continued stay with Gary Smith's team.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Liquid Sunshine Organic Cleaner (NTC)
We are proud to present our citrus scented Liquid Sunshine Non-Toxic Cleaner (NTC). This is a specially formulated and powerful multi-use cleanser that is safe and mild on YOU! Most cleaners leave behind a film which can irritate skin, and may even be toxic to your health. Liquid Sunshine is USDA Certified Organic and made from saponified organic coconut, olive and jojoba oils, essential oils, organic aloe vera and rosemary extract. Use it to clean counters, floors, woodwork, tile or other household surfaces. Liquid Sunshine contains no Sodium Lauryl Sulfate or other detergents, alcohols, d-limonene, artificial colors, fragrances, or preservatives. This is a multi-purpose cleaning concentrate made from Organic Castile Soap and a special blend of essential oils. Absolutely no chemical or synthetic ingredients are ever used. Works best in warm to hot water.
NTC is of special benefit to chemically sensitive and immune system impaired individuals. The most sensitive will see the most dramatic results.
People who suffer from dermatitis soften react to laundry, dish and other common cleaning products. It is not uncommon to find people who are itchy or irritated wherever fabric rubs against them. Irritations at cuffs, collars, thighs and elbows may be a sign that laundry products are implicated. Anyone with itchy skin may be helped by washing their clothes in NTC. Replaces fabric softener, whiteners, stain removers and dryer sheets for added savings.
Ingredients: Saponified Organic Oils of Coconut, Olive and Jojoba, Natural Citrus Essential Oil Blend with Organic Orange Oil, Organic Aloe Vera, Rosemary Extract
Add 3oz of Liquid Sunshine to mop water. Clean as usual, and allow to dry.
Use about 1/3 cup per load - a little more for hard water. NTC may be neutralized by detergent residues in the machine so use enough to get the barest start of foam on top. You may have to use a little extra the first time. Always mix into warm water before adding the clothes. Softens clothes with natural aloe! Also has a mild whitening effect. Great for silks and fine fabrics, wool and suede (may darken).
Stain Removal:
Safe and effective. Wet surface and apply full strength. Work into the material from several directions and let sit a moment. Rinse and dry.
Woodwork, Floors and Walls:
Dilute 1/4 cup per 1 gallon of hot water. Clean, rinse and let dry.
Use full strength on sponge and rinse. For all porcelain and tile surfaces.
Saturate sponge with NTC. Work over vehicle in sections, wetting first, applying NTC and then rinsing. Always wash vehicles out of direct sunlight.
Replaces detergent concentrates. Works well in all carpet cleaning machines and on stains.
General Cleaning:
Stovetop, refrigerator, etc. Wet surface. Scrub with sponge saturated in NTC. Rinse and dry. For ALL watersafe surfaces.
To prevent leaks or accidental sprays, our sprayers feature a locking mechanism. Please be sure to click it off before using.

"The exclusive interview with Plueshenko" which was broadcasted in August 18th, 2010 JST. August 18th, 2010 JST By Emi Honda newscaster Evgeni Plushenko who participated to "The Ice" for the first time very excited the audience by the dynamic jumps and his unique steps. The exclusive interview with Plushenko! At first, as for the program which he showed in "The Ice" in this time… Plushenko: I perform with the French music, "Je Suis Marade". Because it is very passionate music, I can skate with all my feelings. By this program, he performs a lovesick man. Expressing the situation of the intensely wavering feelings, he fascinated Japanese fan. For participating to the ice show in this time, he is staying in Japan in a long term. Then, he seems to have had an unexpected experience. Plushenko: While staying in Japan, I went to Okinawa and swam in the sea. Snorkeling in the sea with my wife, I saw a sea snake! In the moment to have seen the sea snake, I forgot myself in the fear. I think that my swimming at that time must have been near to one of the world champion of the swimming. As is expected, he is Plushenko! By the effect of the sea snake, he seems to be the world champion not only in the figure skating but also in the swimming!? Plushenko has reigned over in the top in the skating world for many years. He won a medal at all of the Olympics which he participated 3 times with Salt Lake City, Turin and Vancouver. I attempted to ask him as for his future competition life. Plushenko: Of course, my present target is to participate to Sochi Olympics which is hosted in my home country Russia in 2014. Then, after 5 years or 6years, I would like to challenge the quadruple-quadruple combination jump. At present, I am training the triple Axel-quadruple combination jump. Lastly, what is the figure skating for you? Plushenko: For me, it is all. It is just my life itself. I like figure skating very much. Of course, I like a show, too, but I like the skating as the competition, too, very much. For me, the figure skating is my life and is my work also, namely, it is my all.

You will probably have to cut those threads on a lathe.
You're asking for a "tap," and not a "die," so I am assuming that you want to put threads into a hole, for instance in a receiver or frame, rather than onto a barrel.
The lathe setup to do this is difficult, and it is not something to be attempted by the faint-of-heart. I suggest that you need to consult an extremely experienced machinist.
(There might exist such a thing as a 1/2"-32 tap, and that might be close enough. You would probably want an interference fit anyway, if you're seating a barrel. Consult a machinist-supply house for that size of tap. You should be able to find one on the web.)

Phoenix Swimming & Diving Squads Open Seasons at Wisconsin
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
MADISON, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay men's and women's swimming and diving teams opened up their 2012-13 seasons on Saturday afternoon with dual meets against Wisconsin at the UW Natatorium in Madison. The Badgers won all but one event in both meets, earning a 140-94 win on the women's side and a 142-93 victory on the men's side.
The Phoenix squads each claimed victories in the meet's final event - the 400-yard freestyle relay. The quartet of Parker Wolf (Kohler, Wis.), Kendra Rottier (Green Bay, Wis.), Dana Iverson (Kenosha, Wis.) and Taylor Trelka (Sturgeon Bay, Wis.) raced to a win in 3:40.44 for the women, while Tyler Evans (Lodi, Wis.), Cole Hackney (Highlands Ranch, Colo.), Logan Parker (Corvallis, Ore.) and Ben Loeffelholz (Dubuque, Iowa) finished with a winning time of 3:11.08 for the men.
Wolf picked up a pair of second-place individual finishes in the women's 50-yard and 100-yard freestyle races, touching in at 24.71 in the 50 and 53.96 in the 100. Also earning runner-up finishes for the Phoenix women were Iverson in the 200 backstroke (2:11.59), Rottier in the 500 free (5:13.96), Megan Burley (Hazelhurst, Wis.) in the 200 butterfly (2:13.54), Marlee Kiander (Tomahawk, Wis.) in the 200 breaststroke (2:31.83), Jessica Stolfi (Kenosha, Wis.) in 1-meter diving (218.18) and Carrie Dinelli (Northbrook, Ill.) in 3-meter diving (244.65).
Hackney turned in one of the top individual performances on the men's side, racing to a second-place finish in the 50 free. The Phoenix junior finished in 21.99, just six one-hundredths of a second behind Wisconsin's Damon Zito (21.93).
Senior diver Mitchell Spaeth (Fredonia, Wis.) had a solid day on the boards for the Phoenix men, finishing second in both the 1-meter and 3-meter events. Spaeth was just five points behind the Badgers' Logan Knauss (298.95) in the 3-meter competition, finishing with a score of 293.93, and was less than 10 points back of Knauss on the low board with a total of 263.63.
Additional runners-up on the men's side were Evans in the 100 free (47.40), Parker in the 500 free (4:54.41), Robert Miner (Madison, Wis.) in the 200 butterfly (1:58.86) and Jonathan Lesniak (McHenry, Ill.) in the 100 breaststroke (2:16.78).
The Phoenix men and women return to action next Saturday when they host Horizon League rival Cleveland State for Alumni Weekend at the Peter F. Dorschel Natatorium at noon.

I like to see design process too, especially when there's something that can be learned. It's interesting to me that you ink right on the lined paper. I've tried sketching/drawing in pencil and inking on tracing paper, and that all worked, but then I'd spend forever cleaning up artifacts from the scanner. Do you have the same troubles? Maybe I should try lined paper. ;-)
Anyhow, your dragon's very cool, as are the colors used. And even knowing the coins are copies of a smaller group, I still can't pick it. Very cool.
Erm, okay, guys then. Thanks! I'm glad you can't pick out the coin layers.
For my drawings, I vectorize and it cleans it up for me. ^_^ Then I go in and fix anything I don't like.

That being said, write to woot and see if you can get them to agree to let you resubmit without them rejecting the second try. With the deadline for entries being Wed Noon Central, you need to get busy.
It also helps to put this kind of description in the first post of the thread for an entry.

I was trying to show that children learn to be greedy from their parents. The doting mother dragon is laying on her pile of goodies, smiling approvingly at her daughter, who has started to amass her own hoard.
inexplicably, the daughter is without shadows, as are parts of the mother, and the daughter's stacks of coins. Small flaws that really stand out to me. :^(

reminds me quite a bit of the evil Dr. Hamsterviel from Lilo and Stitch, the TV series on Disney.
Re: Just... one... more...
Woo a girly shirt!!
Not a skull, pirate, zombie, or bloody monster to be found!
Yay! Got my vote!

The resubmit is substantially different in a less is more kind of way. I had also included a description, but I'm not sure why it didn't show up, maybe more than 500 words? Of course, if nobody gets why it's on-topic, it might as well be off topic. In any event, the resubmit was my offering to the Woot God to demonstrate that I had mastered the whole concept of 6 spot colors and the ability to produce a PSD file with each color in a single layer.
Re: Give a Dog a Bone
I really like this one!
Being in the dog biz and all, I really want every dog design for this derby!!
Re: get your own bamboo
No love for pandas this week, eh?
Oh and let me know if this doesn't make it and you decide to put it on a shirt anyways! The baby blue and brown are my biz colors and I would totally buy this!

I couldn't agree more, the colors are great, the design is really tight and linework is perfect. Tis a shame it doesn't have more votes. Olive tees are acually really nice...I was skeptical until I got my first one
Re: The World Is Just Enough

Re: Shell Competition

Re: I Love Cheese
Thanks for the votes, everyone! Yeah, the rat's huge for that big ol cannonball of cheese. I would have gotten in on the blue offering but that's a LOT of blue cheese for me (as much as I like it).
This is so cute!!! I love it

and money can make monsters out of us all.
Fishy, I can see where you are coming from, but I don't share your view/opinion.
My front lawn is green, string beans are green, and moldy cheese is green, but none of them remind me of greed or can turn most people into monsters.
When I see this drawing, try as I might, I see a monster with an astonishing Victorian bow on his hind quarter, not greed.
Re: all mine
Text is not allowed this derby. Is there another way you can show possession, without using any words?
Re: dragon
This drawing appears t have gradients. Woot does not allow those, because they don't have equipment to print them.

It's not for sale, at least not yet.

Somehow this got lost - and I wish it hadn't. Thanks for designing a red shirt!

Also Woot doesn't do purple shirts, which is a shame.
richpowell wrote:Yeah, really! I guess my "fogeyness" is showing a bit, this is really fun. I'm really impressed with a lot of the shirts. Good stuff. I bought one a while back and was impressed with the quality as well. I might mention another difference: my guy never gets the butterflies and flies back to Planet Apeish dejected.
Do you have any more information on Planet Apeish? Inquiring minds and all that.

Re: Oil Kings
I wish I could tell how much of the blue splotches in your placement image are supposed to be on the shirt and how many are part of the top right part of the design.. Does that make sense? Basically, I would like to see just the design part of this when it is not overlapping the shirt, because I'm having a hard time distinguishing between the two.
