Does your cat see Ghosts?
Three or four times a week - about 2:30 3:00 in the morning - Icys runs around the living room and ends up at the bathroom and meows. He sits there and stares up at the entrance to the bathroom. I've gotten up on several occassions to see what he's looking at. I can't see anything! Icys sits there and meows - still looking up at the entrance to the bathroom. Sometimes he even jumps - climbing all the way up the door jam to get whatever he's seeing. Then he sits there and continues to look and meow at the same spot and he'll jump again! He will sit there and jump several times until it's apparent that he can't see it anymore. I never see anything. Has anyone else had this experience? Spooky!!!
I dont think Joey as seen as ghost since he has been here. But he sure did freak out at my neighbours garage this morning. I think it must have been a mouse though. He wanted in there so bad.

The "ghost"might very well be little fourlegged creatures,mice
My cats would all three sit on my bed,look up at the ceiling and meow,before we discovered we had mice in the walls of the house.
All gone now,so no more"ghosts"..

Not quite the same thing, but Phantom will meow and scratch at the closet door until someone opens it, then take a casual look inside and stroll away.
yes my Twiggy does!
I believe animals can sense these things easier than humans.
One night I was cuddling with Twiggy and she stopped and growled and clenched her teeth and she looked up above my head and followed soemthing with her eyes . I tried to calm her down and 2 minutes later...same thing.
My cat did
The cat we used to have used to see them.. Once while my mother and I were sitting in the living room, the lights from the hallway turned themselves on and off somehow, not surprising becuase that house had alot of other weird things happen in it too, but once that happened, my cat FREAKED.. She started to hiss at nothing (in the direction of the hallway) and she started meowing (which was someting she only did when someone stepped on her by accident or something, so was very strange) and wanted to get out as fast as she could...
I am pretty confident they can see thigns we cant..
jayde, my golden does this. all of a sudden she spooks and alerts to ...nothing. she gets the point thing going on and just sands there, staring at something. god only knows what

My former cat when we lived in Vancouver. She was actually my sisters that lived next store but used to visit everyday. Anyways I knew we had rats in our house as it was right next to my sisters horse barn. (sorry they freak me out) because I walked into my kitchen and a huge black one was sitting next to the coffee maker starring at me. I freaked and grabbed my son and ran out of the house.
Anyways she would sit in our kitchen and stare at the cubboards for hours. I was totally paraonoid that everytime I opened a cubboard a rat would be in it.
I am sure they make great pets though! Sorry a bit off topic

There always is creaks and noises in an older house like mine and the cats have such acute hearing,it at times is a bit eerie....then there is that invisible prey,they start chasing around and around the house,as if they have fire on their tails,with area-rugs and anything flying that comes in their path
At least they alerted us to the little visitors in the walls and that problem is solved for now..no ghosts!

Cats can see spirits!
We are convinced that one of our cats can see spirits. Last night we took a picture of our cat jumping up and down on the wall opposite the stairs going downstairs. Around 8PM every night he will keep jumping up and catching whatever it is he is seeing. He has been doing this for the last couple of months.
Freaky at first but the pictures we took definately shows something out of the ordinary. If anyone is interested in seeing the pictures I can send to you.
Are others experiencing the same thing
I'm sure there's a phantom kitty living here with us. I've felt things and seen flashes out of the corner of my eye. My kitties don't really react too much. Vlad will now and then sit on the bathroom counter and meow, but once I get him he's okay. Maks is always cooing and kitty talking and sometimes I wonder if he might be talking to phantom kitty. They don't ever freak out or hiss or growl, so I think the kitty just wants other kitties to play with. I've come to believe maybe it's one or both of the cats I had in high school.
There are only two rules at my house: House rule #1. Cats rule. House rule #2. See rule #1.
I wouldn't be surprised if my cats see ghosts. I have a picture that came out weird. I was taking a pic with my cell phone. right before I snapped the pic, he looked to his left as if something just flew by (nothing there). the pic came out like this: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y157/darmom/fonzie.jpg
I took a second pic right away to see if it would show up again. It didn't. There was no smoke, spiderwebs or steam in the room, and a flash was not used for this pic. I am bald, so it's not my hair sneaking in front of the lens. I dunno.
My Boy BABY!
My kitty boy "Baby" has always been quite the talker. Yet every once in while he'll talk to the ceiling or a corner in the room and he is loud! I'm usally cuddling with him and get spooked because I don't know what he is looking at and cannot get his eyes to focus on something else. Tonight he acted as if he was following something into the bedroom as he again loudly meowed into the room, my husband and I were in the living room watching this. We do have a kitty girl "Beep" and he'll look and call out to her to play but she was also in the same room as we. Last night as my husband was in the bathroom Baby came in with his head down and planted it into my husband's legg. This is not like him a very social kitty even more than myself. He is always talking and his hed is held high. Perhaps a second or two after that the switch in the bathroom was trun down as were the lights, my husband called for me, as I saw this he told me he felt as if he had missed something pass by as he knelt down to pet "Baby".? The light switch was up then down and no one did this, perhaps Baby came to protect my husband as his behavior was very off? Any thing to say............very strange and more is happening!
I've always read and heard animals and small children are more in tune with things like these. Their brains aren't yet taught to rationalize strange things and they aren't told not to believe. Also, I think that they are seen as less of a threat, so any other worldly being is more attracted to their kindness and innocence.
There are only two rules at my house: House rule #1. Cats rule. House rule #2. See rule #1.
Cat scared by ghosts
I'm certain my cat Poppy saw a ghost or ghosts this morning. We got up as normal and I put out her breakfast to lots of mewing and fuss. I popped out to the garden and while I was there heard noises inside the house. When I went back in Poppy was nowhere to be seen, but I figured she was playing her normal morning games, running around the house. I finished making tea and called her and noticed she hadn't touched her food which was unusual.
I went upstairs and she was hiding under my bed. I was worried she might be sick as she was very quiet and she is normally very vocal, so I dangled her favourite toy about and she played with it, so I thought she must be OK.
But she wouldn't come out from under the bed. It took a lot of coaxing to get her out and when i did her tail was all bushed up and her pupils were huge. I picked her up and she clung to me so tight, moreso as I went downstairs. When we got to the lounge she was definitely staring at something at the far end her head bobbing about as she watched it and I could see how frightened she was.
I put her down and she slowly stalked to the other end of the room, focussed on something I couldn't see. She hid under the sofa for a bit, then appeared at the end, standing on her hind legs peeping over the arm and still staring. I was very freaked out by this time and spoke out loud, telling whatever it was to get out of my house and stop scaring my cat!
She seemed a bit calmer after this but still very wary and on edge. She has never acted this way before, not even around other cats. I had to leave to go to work but hated leaving her alone.
Hopefully she will be back to her usual self this evening.
It is funny...I have been away for a bit and I see this post!
My two walk side by side hunched over both staring at something I can't see...
My two will jump at walls out of nowhere...they will be walking by and just jump...
One night, maybe two weeks ago...Messina was sleeping on the loveseat...I was sitting on the sofa with Seth on the floor by the sofa and I was petting him...we were both watching TV when I saw a small black cat? "head" come out from under this cover I have draped over the loveseat arm (Messina was nowhere near it and still alseep)...Seth turned his head the same time I did and we both saw the cover move...he walked over to it...not hissing or anything, looked at it and walked away...
Messina just now came out of the crate I have in my office with her tail all bushy! Seth came in and they sniffed at each other...I have been sitting here maybe 20mins and had no idea she was in there...no noises...no nothing, but for some reason her tail was all bushy...it isn't usually...
There are MANY things in this world we do not know about...not really sure if I want to know either...

cat can see, hear and feel things differently
Our 4 month old kitten was sleeping in my arms the other night when all of the sudden he opened his eyes and was staring over my shoulder. So help me God, he jumped about 4 feet off my lap onto a table and jumped a few more feet onto my treadmill.
He was completely freaked out for about a half hour. He wanted no part of me after that and he had me freaked out. I yelled for my son and and told him what happened and he couldn't get over how the cat was acting. I'm really beginning to think I have a ghost in my home. Both cats will sit and stare into thin air as if they were looking at someone. They are both very social cats, they even greet everyone at the door. There are times when they seem to be reacting to someone that isn't there. Spooky!!!
I was reading the original poster's post and I got goosebumps because that is exactly what my boy has been doing. I've had Squeaky since he was 8 weeks old. 14 years ago I moved him in with me and my other cat who has since passed. We lived in the apartment for 4 years. We moved around a lot, and then in July, Squeaky and I moved back into the same building we lived in when he was a kitten. We are 2 floors up from the original suite. His behaviour has changed significantly since we moved here. Every other day, he meows constantly and then manicly gallops around. I have to say that Squeaky is a big 20pound boy and has never done a manic thing in his life
The reason I think we might have a ghost is almost exactly like the original poster. This morning Squeaky stood his full length in the bathroom door frame, and was meowing at the ceiling. He then looked in the little closet in the hall and took off galloping like he was scared. Practically every night he meows to go out the door-when I let him out, he always ends up sitting in front of our old suite meowing. He'll also sit in the same place in the front hall and meow constantly. He does a lot of things that he's never done before. It almost seems like he's getting younger instead of older.
Catseyesbc has your cat been to the vet in the last year for a full blood panel & urinalysis? If not please do so & have your vet include a T4 Thyroid test in the blood panel. A lot of the symptoms you are describing in an older cat can be the same as a cat with untreated HyperThyroidism.

The Spirit Lives As Long As Someone Who Lives Remembers You - Navaho Saying
Vindication ~ For all those pets who became sick or lost their lives from tainted pet food
This thread is AWESOME
I think most of the time those things can be explained as mice, little bugs too small for us to see them in the shadows, spider webs waving slightly with the breeze but every now and then some cases could be of a more mysterious nature why not.
I had a black female called Mamoru that suddenly would look at a corner up in the ceiling with round huge eyes and then started to hiss, getting all fluffy for no apparent reason. It was really creepy. That was on a different place I used to live. Never found anything that could explain it.
However in here Scully used to "chase a ghost" for a few nights and once I lied on the floor looking at the ceiling and I realized it was a small spider web thread waving, it was too small and faint to notice it unless you really paid attention. I cleaned it XD
Most of the time it has a simple earthly explanation but you have to keep and open mind for the extraordinary. Maybe some of the cases here are supernatural why not
@Darmom that pic is really interesting particularly because you took it right when your kitty was acting like this
@Marlowe I would love to see that pic as well

My mango
My newest addition to the family is my cat name mango. First things first my mom found him in our garage and he came right up to her rubbing his scent all on her. When he came close we noticed that he trilled. Prior to that in our house we would hear sounds of what seemed to be a cat trilling. Then we find mango in the garage. When we brought him home he was afraid of nothing although he was the baby of the house because we have 2 other cats one female and one other male. Mango is a very unique cat he is at the dinner table when ever he smells his favorite food and is there when he hears the sound of the turkey packet being opened. Mango has recently been fascinated With the microwave and the toaster oven. which are right on top of one another. We have a kitchen stool and he hops up there and stares at them both. Some times he will spit at and hiss at the microwave and run. On many occasions I have picked him up to show him there is nothing in the microwave but I could never successfully do that because he would fight me. Now mind you on a regular he would let anyone pick him up even a complete stranger and let them hold him. Now I know im not crazy this is not usual behavior I really feel that mango can sense another person or spirit in the house. what do you think?
My hearing dog use to stand next a wall and cock his head and listening to something . I had no idea what he was hearing until I found we had mice in our building. When I was cleaning off my stove's fan I found some mice poop on the fan grill. YUCKY!!
Me too! We are living in a 100+ year old house, but so far no one has been acting weird but it's something I've watched for.
Mind you back when we lived in Ontario and I'd have Bayley out on the trails for walks, sometimes she'd start acting weird, running back and forth, sniffing the air. Not ghosts I'm sure but there was something out there that I couldn't see, smell or hear. She'd snff, run back and forth and then in front of me a ways and stop and give me that 'hey c'mon let's go!! look. This from a dog who loves her runs and bogging. I tended to listen to her!! It only happened when we were out on the trails and never at the dog park we used to go to
My crazy mango
For some reason i feel he really can sense spirits in our house. he stares at the microwave and will spit at it then run.
i lived in a pretty infested apt house roaches and mice when the xtrminator came his first question was ok where the kits hanging out this month?

Ambrose d'Évreux, (flourished c. 1190), Norman poet and chronicler, who accompanied Richard I of England as a minstrel on the Third Crusade.
Nothing more is known of him than that he was probably a native of Évreux and was a noncombatant making the pilgrimage to Jerusalem. His account of the Crusade is preserved in the Estoire de la guerre sainte ("History of the Holy War"), a poem of over 12,000 lines extant in an Anglo-Norman manuscript, but the Estoire is only an adaptation of Ambrose's work. The original poem was used by Richard, a canon of Holy Trinity, London, as the source for his Itinerarium Regis Ricardi ("Concerning the Expedition of King Richard"). The Estoire has little literary merit, but it is a valuable historical source.

Hello everyone, I had some test automation I was working on ... and I needed to gather a good bit of WebSphere config information and publish it in a form that my automation could use. There were numerous reasons why wsadmin (a good solution in general) was not the ideal solution for me. I wrote a single java class that processes my small to medium WAS install in about 2 seconds and creates a properties file (ideal for ant) as well as a json file (ideal for anything else) with all of the info from the config.that I needed. This is not what I would call a "best practice" in that it may need to change as the config changes, but it is using relatively stable xml files and parsing them (so additions to the schema (which is tne norm) should not impact it unless I want what is added). The JSON output is hierarchical and thus does a nice job reflecting the config. For the properties (flat structure) I nested the keys
(ie: <cell>.<node>.<server>.httpPort=9080). This is still relatively easy to use in ant.
(ie: <cell>.<node>.<server>.httpPort=9080). This is still relatively easy to use in ant.
To run this speedy config collector, simply download https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/blogs/ServiceabilityDev/resource/GetWebSphereTopology.zip and unzip it (to get the jar) and run it with the comments right inside the source (which is in the jar). You will need the JSON4J jar to get the IBM JSON library .. but I did not include that not knowing about its copyright et al (it ships with WebSphere and several related products). If you do try it and find that you need some config that this is not collecting or that it is not behaving as expected, please ping here and I'll do my darndest to fix it as soon as possible. Thanks,

There's more to LinkedIn marketing than simply posting your online resume and hunting for a job. LinkedIn is the largest business networking site in the world, and people go on LinkedIn to do business - not post pictures of their new puppy and link to hilarious YouTube videos. Click around a bit and you'll see the mood is entirely different to it's social media counterparts Facebook, Twitter, and the likes. It's more professional, more about partnerships, knowledge, transactions, and networking.
Online store owners can utilize LinkdIn's company page feature to boost awareness, and network with potential customers, partners, and employees.
Here are 6 helpful tips that will help you get the most out of LinkedIn's company pages:
1. Create a Company Page on LinkedInThere are currently over two million businesses, and 150 million people that have profiles on LinkedIn. Every ecommerce entrepreneur should get their company a page on LinkedIn. You can easily create a LinkedIn company page for free by following a few simple steps. On your company page you can display the type of your business, number of employees, and display your logo, links to your website, blog, and even post rich media like pictures and videos to make your page really stand out. Here's what our Shopify LinkedIn company page looks like:
2. Build Your FollowingSimilar to Facebook, people and other businesses can "follow" you to get your company updates. The number of followers you have is a bit of a glamor metric, but there's no harm in taking some interest in boosting your following. After all, followers wil get updates on career opportunities, new blog posts, and new products. The best way to increase your following is to be active on LinkedIn. Join groups, comment on posts, send messages, and network.
3. Share Awesome ContentYou don't want your company page to be boring. You want it to reflect your brand and company, so make sure you show some personality. Avoid talking excessively about your company. You'll find more success if you provide well rounded content, so sure, talk a bit about your company - if you're looking to hire employees, it can be a great way to recruit, but also provide industry insight, and any other material people would find valuable.
4. Network and EngageThe purpose of LinkedIn is networking, so that's what you should do. A lot of LinkedIn marketing articles suggest you should only network with "the right people" but I would advise it's better to network with everyone. You never know who may become one of your customers, partners, or employees. There's no point in closing doors so keep a healthy connection with all your contacts.
You can actively engage certain people or companies that interest you by using LinkedIn's advanced search feature. Also, if you sign up for a Premium LinkedIn account, you'll get access to some powerful networking features, like response guaranteed InMail, expanded profiles, and you even get to see who has viewed your profile.
5. AnalyticsLinkedIn has a very useful analytics feature that can assist you in monitoring and tracking your progress. In the Page Statistics section you'll be able to see month-by-month page views, and it will segment the viewers by demographic. The more you know about who is visiting your company page, the better you can tailor your content. Always be on the lookout for what's working and what's not. If you are successful in engaging your followers through the use of a certain technique, use it more often. If you feel that something isn't working as effectively as you thought it would, then remove it from your page.
6. Be Patient, But VigilantYou cannot expect results overnight. Keep visiting your page regularly and provide interesting and useful updates. It may take weeks or even months, but once you have a strong following on LinkedIn you'll start to see a positive snowball effect develop.

Great tips. When you fill out your profile, be sure to include information on your products and services and request recommendations from your existing customers.
You can also link to your blog so there's a constant stream of content coming from your site which helps to drive traffic and engage your audience when they land on your company profile.
April 12 2012, 01:24PM
Shawn: Great ideas, I totally agree.
We've hooked our LinkedIn up with our company blog and it drives quite a bit of traffic!
Thanks for adding to the article!! :-)
April 19 2012, 07:50PM
Great article!
I agree that a stream of information is always a bit more eye catching, though I think it all depends on the company. For example, I have worked for a very laid back and open minded organisation which disliked LinkedIn for its' very "in the box" and professional appearance and feel.
Any advice for smaller organisations?
January 19 2018, 02:41AM

I was trying to find, where z is complex and n is a constant.
Let z = ln(t), then dz = (1/t)dt. This transforms the integral to
Is this correct? And what would the graph of this look like?
What is C?
C is some simple closed curve about 0.
Why is it holomorphic on C?
Since the partial derivatives are continuous for alland satisfy the CauchyRiemann equations and , is holomorphic on the complex plane.
Thanks for that, I did not know of this method. Is that the only way to show a function like this is holomorphic on C? Would I have to do this before I evaluate any contour integral?
Oh wait, I just noticed...
and sincefor n ≠ 1, z ∈ Z, then every term reduces to zero, so the contour integral is zero... right?

Karma Water, best known as one of the leading mix-to-drink brands utilizing a cap that enables vitamins to be dispersed into a bottle of water, has launched a new alkaline water product.
The public's first glimpse of the 25 oz. bottle of pure, electrolyte-enhanced water, is expected to be during the upcoming NACS (National Association of Convenience Stores) Show in Atlanta.
Called K20, the product will be offered in all 23 states where Karma is sold; it will also be rolled out across Canada via the brand's distributor, Lassonde, according to the brand's co-founder, C.J. Rapp.
Rapp believes there is space in the mid-to-high-end part of the category, where Coke's Smartwater has thrived. Other companies, like Essentia, Karma rival Activate, and Aquahydrate have tried to flank the brand through the promise of high alkalinity, a feature that is currently resonating with consumers.
"Smartwater pounded [the category]," Rapp said. "We can't deny we aren't influenced by them. But it's a footrace to establish second place."
While Karma is known for cap activation, according to Rapp "Karma Wellness Water is, at core, about wellness. We felt this was very consistent with the Karma brand imagery and attitude."

New C63 AMG and M156 1/4 mile record - 10.78 @ 131mphAnother record was set by an MHP car at the MIR drag strip this weekend. BenzBoost member Dodger63 pushed further into the 10's by running 10.78@131. This is an increase of 7 miles per hour of trap speed over his previous 10 second slip which is incredible. We have the slip here and will have further details with pictures posted later in the week. Congratulations to Dodger63 and to MHP, raising their already high C63 performance mark even higher.
This article was originally published in forum thread: Congrats to DODGER ! 10.78 @ 131mph started by DD GT3 RD View original post16 Comments
We went over this before Mike on 1/6/11 trapped 131 six times, 130mph, seven times, all in the 10s. See M156 forum
Mike's changes were going back to stock airboxes from Gruppe M (change is otw but wasn't ready), MHP 3" Race Catback.
Working on editing vids now. I'll provide a complete write up of the days events worthy of the front page by tomorrow.
Yeah his 60's were incredible especially considering the air. 1.58-1.59 in a car with 2.85 rear gearing lol. His traps were just as astonishing as last time out DA was -1000', this time +500-1250'.
These guys work hard to optimize their setups. All the credit in the world to Hagi, Mike and Craig. They are like a well oiled machine.
Mods put on the car:
Mhp custom tune
Mhp headers
Mhp race exhust
Mhp thermal gaskets
Mhp thermometer
Carbonio airbox tops
Kw coilovers
Evosport rotors
Sparco evo 3 seat
Revosport carbon hood
Vis carbon trunk
Since last track day:
Rear evosport rotors
Race exhust
Sparco seat
I lightend the car up since last run
- 63 front driver seat + 25 for sparco seat and custom bracket
-38 rear seats
-12 rotational mass evosport breaks
-** idk Mhp race exhust (will weight soon)
Changed some suspension setup ride height and dampning
This car is a beast it will do better it has more in it
Plus with Craig there watching every detail of every launch shift so on.. we picked up on a few let's say launch procedures that in the last 20 min of the rental really started to pay off.. A fresh set off tire and another day maybe better da and this car is going to fly

Markup Templates
The most important feature provided by the Markup package is a template engine.
Templates are XML files of some kind (such as XHTML) that include processing directives (elements or attributes identified by a separate namespace) that affect how the template is rendered, and template expressions that are dynamically substituted by variable data.
Table of Contents
- Template Context
- Template Expressions
- Template Directives
- Template Includes
Template Context
Rendering a template boils down to applying one or more template files to some input data. This input data is represented as a Context? object in Markup. A context is basically a stack of dictionaries that manages the namespace scopes during processing: for example, some variable may be able under a given name inside a loop, but not outside of that loop.
Regardless of its stack behavior during templating processing, a context is usually initialized from a single dictionary:
>>> from markup.template import Context >>> ctxt = Context(title='Hello, world!') >>> print ctxt [{'title': 'Hello, world!'}]
This data is then made available for use inside the template:
>>> from markup.template import Template >>> tmpl = Template('
$title
') >>> print tmpl.generate(ctxt)
Hello, world!

Here the title variable in the context is accessed through a template expression, discussed below.
Template Expressions
Python expressions can be used in text and attribute values. An expression is substituted with the result of its evaluation against the template data. Expressions need to prefixed with a dollar sign ($) and usually enclosed in curly braces ({…}).
If the expression starts with a letter and contains only letters and digits, the curly braces may be omitted. In all other cases, the braces are required so that the template processors knows where the expression ends:
>>> from markup.template import Context, Template >>> tmpl = Template('${items[0].capitalize()} item') >>> print tmpl.generate(Context(items=['first', 'second'])) First item
Expressions support the full power of Python. In addition, it is possible to:
- access items in a dictionary using "dotted notation" (i.e. as if they were attributes)
- access attributes using item access (i.e. as if they were items in a dictionary)
>>> from markup.template import Context, Template >>> tmpl = Template('${dict.foo}') >>> print tmpl.generate(Context(dict={'foo': 'bar'})) bar
Template Directives
Directives are elements and/or attributes in the template that are identified by the namespace http://markup.edgewall.org/. They can affect how the template is rendered in a number of ways: Markup provides directives for conditionals and looping, among others.
To use directives in a template, the namespace should be declared, which is usually done on the root element:
 ...
In this example, the default namespace is set to the XHTML namespace, and the namespace for Markup directives is bound to the prefix "py".
All directives can be applied as attributes, and some can also be used as elements. The if directives for conditionals, for example, can be used in both ways:
 ...

Bar

 ...
This is basically equivalent to the following:
 ... <py:if test="foo">

Bar

 </py:if> ...
The rationale behind the second form is that directives not always map naturally to elements in the template. In such cases, the py:strip directive can be used to strip off the unwanted element, or the directive can simply be used as an element.
This directive replaces any nested content with the result of evaluating the expression.

Hello

Given bar='Bye' in the context data, this would produce:

Bye

This directive can only be used as an attribute.
This directive replaces the element itself with the result of evaluating the expression.

 Hello

Given bar='Bye' in the context data, this would produce:

 Bye

This directive can only be used as an attribute.
This directive adds, modifies or removes attributes from the element.

Bar

Given foo={'class': 'collapse'} in the template context, this would produce:

Bar

This directive can only be used as an attribute.
The element is only rendered if the expression evaluates to a truth value.
py:choose / py:when / py:otherwise
This set of directives provides advanced contional processing: one of several alternatives is rendered depending on which of the py:when directives evaluates to a truth value.

 0 1 2

This would produce the following output:

 1

The element is repeated for every item in an iterable:

${item}

Given items=[1, 2, 3] in the context data, this would produce:

1

2

3

This directive can also be used as an element:

 <py:for each="item in items">
${item}
 </py:for>

The py:def directive can be used to create template functions, i.e. snippets of template code that have a name and optionally some parameters, and that can be inserted in other places.

 Hello, ${name}!
 ${greeting('world')} ${greeting('everyone else')}

The above would be rendered to:

 Hello, world!

 Hello, everyone else!

This directive can also be used as an element:

 <py:def function="greeting(name)">
Hello, ${name}!
 </py:def>

Template Includes
To reuse common snippets of template code, you can include other files using XInclude.
For this, you need to declare the XInclude namespace (commonly bound to the prefix "xi") and use the <xi:include> element where you want the external file to be pulled in:
 <xi:include href="base.html" /> ...
Include paths are relative to the filename of the template currently being processed. So if the example above was in the file "myapp/index.html" (relative to the template search path), the XInclude processor would look for the included file at "myapp/base.html". You can also use Unix-style relative paths, for example "../base.html" to look in the parent directory.
Any content included this way is inserted into the generated output instead of the <xi:include> element. The included template sees the same context data. Match templates and template functions in the included template are also available to the including template after the point it was included.
By default, an error will be raised if an included file is not found. If that's not what you want, you can specify fallback content that should be used if the include fails. For example, to to make the include above fail silently, you'd write:
<xi:include href="base.html"><xi:fallback /></xi:include>
See the XInclude specification for more about fallback content. Note though that Markup currently only supports a small subset of XInclude.

Proper soil sampling is the first step in cropland fertility management, a vital ingredient for maximum crop production with minimum expense, especially with soaring fertilizer prices.
"Texas High Plains producers generally do not soil sample often enough, and their usual sampling techniques may not be adequate," says Kevin Bronson, professor of soil fertility and nutrient management at the Texas AgriLife Research and Extension Center at Lubbock.
According to Bronson, irrigated fields should be sampled for nitrate nitrogen every year, and dryland fields should be sampled every two to three years. Both irrigated and dryland fields should be sampled every two to three years for phosphorus, potassium, and micronutrients.
"Improper sampling can result in incorrect fertilizer applications, loss of production and profits, and can cause nutrient contamination issues," Bronson said.
Soil sampling locations should be based on soil type, topography, and/or zones defined in yield maps.
"A distinct zone should be delineated and sampled anywhere there is an obvious change in the land characteristics, such as topography or soil type. But within a given zone, the land characteristics should be relatively uniform," Bronson said.
Site-specific sampling should be used when a potential exists for fertilizer levels to be much higher or lower than that of adjacent areas. For example, if manure has been applied to various portions of the field, that area should be in a separate zone.
"Using site-specific sampling can help mitigate excess nitrogen buildup in the subsoil and minimize losses below the root zone," Bronson said. "Avoiding excessive phosphorus fertilizer applications by site-specific sampling and fertilization can minimize movement of phosphorus in surface runoff.
"To get a reliable estimate of nitrate-nitrogen, samples should be taken from both the zero- to 6-inch layer and the 6-inch to 24-inch layer because clayey subsoils can contain up to 70 pounds per acre of nitrate nitrogen, about four times as much as we usually find in the zero- to 6-inch top layer. If the producer sampled only the top 6 inches, he would likely apply far more nitrogen than needed. Not only is the application of unneeded nitrogen an unnecessary expense, the nitrogen may be lost below the effective root zone," Bronson said.
Sampling the top six inches of soil is sufficient for phosphorus, potassium, micronutrients, and pH analyses. If phosphorus has been banded in previous applications, soil samples should be taken from the bottom of the furrow, top of the bed, and sides of the bed.
Soil samples can be taken with a shovel, auger, or tube.
"If a shovel is used to take a zero- to 6-inch sample, a v-shaped hole is dug and a 1-inch-thick slice is taken from the smooth side of the hole. A trowel can be used to take from the center of the slice a sample approximately one-inch square and six inches long," Bronson said.
"If a 6-inch to 24-inch sample is also taken, a tube or auger should be used. Take the zero- to 6-inch sample first, then, in the same hole, take the 6-inch to 24-inch sample. The samples from the two different depths should be kept separate," Bronson said.
Four to six samples should be taken from each zone, deposited in a clean plastic bucket or paper container, and mixed thoroughly. A single sample of about one pint should be taken, stored in a moisture-proof bag, and appropriately labeled including the depth: "zero to 6 inches," or "6 to 24 inches."
"A map showing where the samples were taken should be made and coded so analyses results can be matched to the proper zone. These maps should be filed and reviewed each time an additional soil sampling is performed. This will enable the producer to see changes in fertility levels over time, and will facilitate improved management practices," Bronson said.
Additional information about soil testing, fertilizer rates, etc., for High Plains producers may be obtained from the Soil Fertility site at http://lubbock.tamu.edu/.

Not quite sure why but several people have requested this traditional Georgian bread recipe.
Georgian Cheese Bread
by Daniel Rogov
This bread comes from Georgia, where it was made by Jews to celebrate the holiday of Shavuot, and by Christians to celebrate the holiday of Pentecost.
1 cup lukewarm milk
2 packages (60 gr.) dry yeast
1 Tbsp. + 1 tsp. sugar
about 4 cups of flour
125 gr. butter, softened
675 gr. mild Camembert or Brie-type cheese
375 gr. feta cheese or other tangy goat cheese
1 egg, lightly beaten
about 2 Tbsp. melted butter
In a small glass, mix together 1/2 cup of the milk, the yeast and 1 tsp. of the sugar. Let stand at room temperature for 10 - 15 minutes and then add this mixture to the remaining milk.
Place 3 cups of flour into a large bowl and make a well in the center. Add the milk, remaining sugar and the softened butter. Stir with a rubber spatula until a firm dough ball is formed.
Turn the dough onto a floured work surface and knead for 10 minutes, adding flour as needed to prevent the dough from sticking. When the dough is elastic and no longer sticky, transfer to a greased bowl, turning it so that it is coated on all sides. Cover with a lightly dampened cloth and let stand in a warm place until doubled in bulk (about 1 1/2 hours).
Punch the dough down and let rise again until doubled in bulk (about 30 minutes).
Grate the Camembert cheese and crumble the goat cheese. Combine the two, add the egg and mix well.
Punch the dough down again and then roll out on a lightly floured surface to a circle of about 50 cm. in diameter. Fold the dough into quarters and place the point in the center of a 23 cm. pan with sides about 5 cm high. Unfold the dough and let the excess hang over the sides.
Spoon the cheese mixture onto the dough and then pick up the excess dough hanging over the edges and pleat it over the cheese. Make sure all the pleats go in the same direction. Gather the ends of the dough in the center and twist into a small knob. Let stand for 10 minutes.
Brush the top of the dough with melted butter and bake on the center shelf of an oven that has been pre-heated to 190° Celsius (375° Fahrenheit), until the bread is golden (about 1 hour). Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Last week's report that Cal ranks last in the nation graduating football players shines an embarrassing light on an academic free-fall that was ignored for years.
For all the claims that the team was putting players' schooling first, data shows that its academic scores have been in decline since 2006, two years after Athletic Director Sandy Barbour was hired.
She must have known. She certainly should have known. Yet, it wasn't until 2012 that Barbour finally fired Coach Jeff Tedford. It wasn't until the team was consistently losing. Data suggest that she overlooked drooping academics as long as Cal came out on top on game day.
That might be fine for a school with a culture that places sports, especially football, above all else. But it's not acceptable for the nation's leading public university, which has produced 22 Nobel Prize laureates.
Sports can provide an important sense of community pride for any university. But it must be tied to respect for the school's academic heritage. It's untenable for UC Berkeley to rank last graduating players among 72 teams in the major college football conferences. Not near the bottom. Dead last.
If we have to choose between winning on the field and succeeding in the classroom, we'll choose the latter in a heartbeat. However, that's a false choice, as Stanford has shown by producing strong football teams with players who also complete their studies.
Indeed, data show that during the past decade Cal's best teams have also won in the classroom. As their records on the field declined, so did their academic and graduation numbers.
Unfortunately, Barbour has been a reactive leader rather than a proactive one. And her responses have often been years late. We saw that in 2010 when her poor financial planning temporarily endangered men's baseball, men's gymnastics, women's gymnastics, women's lacrosse and men's rugby.
We saw that with her price-is-no-object approach to the $474 million seismic retrofit and training center at Memorial Stadium, the most expensive facility upgrade in college sports history.
Barbour and other Cal officials ignored warnings about the risky financing scheme, and misled the public and regents about lagging seat sales, on which the repayment hinges.
Barbour has consistently failed to lead with financial acumen and a priority on education. She says the football team's next round of academic numbers will show marked improvement. If they don't, she should start looking for another job.

Thank you Washingtonian!
Thank you Washingtonian for featuring Annie Elliott of Bossy Color Blog and myself in the Turkey Day Decorating Tips feature!
Annie and I gave some tips for decorating on the cheap. One of my suggestions was to use a canvas drop cloth for a tablecloth. But now that Christmas is coming, I can think of a second use - a Christmas tree skirt that you can let your kids draw on with fabric markers. Each year they can add to their art work so you'll end up with a homemade tree skirt that marks the passing years with their drawings. I wish I had thought of that 15 years ago...

WARNING: This post will NOT inspire you.
Now don't freak out.
But, yes. I decided to bow out of National Novel Writing Month.
Why? Well, I have my set of "excuses" (if you want to call them that). But, in reality, I just wasn't attached to my idea enough to continue with it. It wasn't me.
And to be honest, I don't think I'm ready to dive into a novel. And plus, I want to have a lot of faith in the book before I jump into it. I know that NaNoWriMo is supposed to be a time where you don't think about those things. Where you dive in without thought and just get that book done. But, that wasn't quite something I wanted to do.
I know I'll have next year. And maybe I'll do it. Maybe I won't.
Here's what bothers me about NaNoWriMo, though.
I have a comparison that came to me when I googled "is nanowrimo a good idea." And after reading a blog post from an editor who talked about the actual process of writing. And the time it takes. And the double amount of work that ends up happening as a result of NaNoWriMo (don't worry, I read this well AFTER I had made my decision). And I asked myself again, "Do I love this idea...do I love what I have written enough...to devote myself completely to?"
Again I thought....no.
So, I decided to not go with it this year. I do have other projects I want to focus on - several short stories I want to work on. I have articles I want to write and try and get published. No, it isn't as glamorous as a book, but I have more faith in the ideas I am working on than the idea I had before.
I have a new blogging opportunity that I am focusing on! YAY! My launch-post will be posted today, so please come by and say "Hi!" It will be great to see some familiar faces over there.
Go to: http://www.off-the-deep-end.net/.
So, good luck to my NaNo peeps...I'm trying not to feel too guilty, and maybe one day, I will regret it. Maybe I won't. Maybe I will look back on those 5,000 words I have written so far and wish I had continued with it. And maybe I will just know myself well enough to know that if I didn't stick with it, it isn't because I'm not a bad writer. It is just because I haven't found the one yet.
Like I said, I told you this post probably won't inspire you.
Until next time, my writing friends. Make sure you come over to the blog "Off The Deep End" and check out my latest blog post. I will be writing book reviews with a different sort of twist. So, I hope you will enjoy.
Editor's Note: Oddly enough, the first draft of this post was a lot more cynical. A few days later I went back and deleted some content so I didn't come across as a total downer to people actually enjoying their time at NaNoWriMo. :) Happy Writing Everyone!

This sounds like a very sound decision...for you. I've never participated in NaNo, for many of the reasons you posted here. It's just not for everybody! Good luck with your other projects!! :)ReplyDelete
This actually is inspiring. You realized you were wasting your time on an idea you weren't committed to. Then, you decided to step away and move on to an idea you are committed to. Guess which one you're more likely to finish and sell.ReplyDelete
I view Nano as a testing ground for potential writers. Finishing is not proof that you're a writer, but as I've said before, Nano shows you what it's like to have to write whether you're "inspired" or not. I have friends who write for a living and this is their world.
Nano netted me the bones of a good story, one I care enough about to improve my craft before finishing. It didn't make me a writer, but it confirmed that I wanted to be a writer. And I'm moving forward. So will you.
Writing is about passion. Not about how many words you can write in a day. When I'm not passionate about the story, it's just not going to get written. I think it's great to write every day, but it needs to be filled with excitement. Whether you're working on a novel, or you blog about something, or you write a scene to a book you haven't even started. Just something to keep you writing. :)ReplyDelete
I think Cassie Mae has the right idea. Writing is your passion, and you do need to feel passionate about what you write.ReplyDelete
I've been working on 2nd draft of my 4th book This book's first draft took me 3 months to write at 80K.
Everyone needs to know their writing limit and I simply think that NaNo may break too many writers who think this is how to get a novel done. It isn't. A frist draft shouldn't be looked at like something to knock off in 4 short weeks.
I could not do nanowritmo for the exact same reason. I have never participated and probably never will, as I find that my creativity does not like to be told when to think thinks up. It just does. Good luck with your other projects.ReplyDelete
You think this isn't inspiring? Silly. Like the other's have told you, the inspiring part is the fact that you knew it wasn't right for you, that you weren't commited to it, and that you just weren't in love with your idea and acted on that. I've been "doing" Nano for three years now, and I haven't managed to come anywhere close to finishing yet. This year I've been so busy with other things that I've barely managed any writing at all... the word count is so low, that I haven't even looked to see what it actually is.ReplyDelete
Like Cassie said, writing isn't about the number of words you put down in a day - it's about what the words you do write mean to you. It's about how you feel about them and how they make you feel too. Nano is, I think, a great method for writer who have an idea that they're really passionate about, who really want to burst into the story and get as much done as quickly as possible. But not everyone can (or wants to) write like that. It just another of those personal choices and preferences that we all have.
I wouldn't view quitting Nano (for the reasons that you did) as giving up... I'd think of it as changing direction. And since I just went over to the *new* blog that you wrote and took a look around, I think that it was a really great direction to take!
In life, it's most important to never waste your time doing something you'd rather NOT be doing. So it was a good call. Happy Thanksgiving!ReplyDelete
Your post was very inspiring to me! I signed on to Nano for the first time this year, then rethought my decision for many of the reasons you mention.ReplyDelete
Perhaps Nano inspires many to *begin* writing, I'm already writing and just didn't need the extra push or pressure, especially during the "holiday month" of November. (I mean *really* - why couldn't they choose February or March???? )
It all depends on what works for you. It has to make sense and you have to enjoy it. Sounds like a sound decision to me - and you are not alone. I decided against participating too.ReplyDelete
This post made me take another look at why it's been over 2 weeks since I wrote anything for NaNoWriMo. And it's not because I don't love writing.ReplyDelete
I think Cassie's comment echoes my sentiments exactly. Writing should be about passion, not the number of words that get written each day.
I mean, I get the idea behind the discipline of forcing yourself to write every day. But the passion needs to be there, too. And with everything that I have going on in my life, and as much as I really want to be a full time writer, I have to take another look at this.
Thanks for your blog post. It didn't stop me from NaNoWriMo, it just gave me some perspective on seeing why I hadn't kept on top of the 1700 words a day.
Here's to all of us budding writers finding our avenues for writing passion.
@DL Hammons - Thank you for letting me know I'm not alone! THat's so good to know!ReplyDelete
@Eric - Very true...VERY true. And it is something I know I need to remind myself of (that not everything I write will be earth shattering!) And I do feel that I will find a story that I will feel more committed too, I just don't think this one is it. And I'm moving forward. Thank you for your support - this is a little trip in the road that I felt guilty about!
@Cassie Mae - Thank you Cassie! You are so right - and I'm the same way - without passion and a concern for the characters, the story won't get written. As long as you are writing everyday, than you are practicing that same muscle.
@Lorelei - I really like what you said - NaNo may not be the best option for everyone (although I hate admitting defeat). I really don't think having a binge of writing is the best way to get the writing done...but then again maybe another year I will feel different!
@Murees Dupe - ME TOO! I'm the same way! My creative self is very much like me (I know, surprise, right?) I don't like being told what to do, and neither does my creative self. It feels like rebellious child if I try to control when it's creative. :) Thank you for reading!
@LDFerris - Thank you for the support! I'm so glad you thought this was inspiring - I felt like it was a terrible warning message. :) And you're right, I think if the idea felt right, my approach would have been different and it just didn't feel right to me this year! And thank you for visiting my other blog!! I'm so excited about this new direction. I'm so glad to know that I'm not the only one that thinks that NaNo might be a little much for my creative self.
@Nancy Thompson - Thank you! You are so right! It's worse to spend time doing something I really don't want to do. It's best to move on and learn from it. Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
@Lisa Taylor - THank you! I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one! And I've always thought that too! Why the holiday season??? I mean, maybe June or August or something, but...come on, November?? And true - I'm writing already too, so I didn't need that extra push. Thank you for reading!!
@ED - Thank you! You are right, I'm definitely not alone on this one, and I'm so glad! I'm feeling better about this decision already. :)
@Marty Mankins - Yay! I'm so glad that this helped you. I guess my goal of being transparent on my blog has paid off - because I've gotten a lot of good feedback from this post that has made me feel better about my decision. You have to reprioritize when it's necessary and this just didn't work for me this year. Thanks for reading!!
I am doing my first NaNoWriMo this year, and am at 85k words in an adventure/treasure hunt that I'm having a blast writing. That being said, I don't think it's for everyone, every year. If you can't do it as a fun thing, with a "if it's crap, it's crap, but I had a blast" mindset, you probably shouldn't start. In the 30s and 40's forum someone just posted the question - why does it seem like this group is getting more done. Most of the answers were along the lines of "we wouldn't do it if we didn't want to write our story" and "we can live with crap if that's what we end up with."ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing your view for the 2011 NaNo, and good luck with your new site!
Thanks Jen! You are definitely right - I also think you have to be connected to your story and truly want to go the long run with it. At least that's how I have to feel!ReplyDelete
Good luck with your project!
I love comments! The good, the bad, and the ugly, so tell me what you have to say! And if you like what you read (or at least find yourself entertained), follow my blog to read more. Although I'm not always able to respond to comments immediately, I appreciate every one of them.

U16 conference coach of the year assumes oversight of the Revs' youth program
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution announced today Under-16 head coach Bryan Scales has been promoted to Director of Youth Development.
Scales, the former head men's soccer coach at UMass-Lowell, is coming off his first season as the Revs' U16 head coach in which he led the squad to the Northeast Division title this year and its first-ever appearance in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy playoffs, where they lost a tie-breaker to advance to the national finals.
For his efforts, Scales was named the Northeast Division coach of the year by U.S. Soccer following the season, while Leominster's Diego Fagundez was named to the national U15/16 Development Academy Starting XI.
Scales will assume the day-to-day management of both the Revolution's Under-16 and Under-18 teams, which recently completed their second seasons in U.S. Soccer's national Development Academy and in which both teams advanced to the playoffs for the first time in program history. He will also oversee the youth development program and will work with the Revolution's technical staff to create and implement the youth teams' coaching curriculum and training systems. Scales replaces Karl Edmonds, who parted ways with the program earlier this month.
"Bryan has proven to be a successful coach at every level he's coached, was instrumental in the development of our Under-16 players and the success they enjoyed last season," Revolution Vice President of Player Personnel Michael Burns said. "We are fortunate to have him on board in a full-time capacity as our Director of Youth Development and we expect he'll continue building on the success our youth teams realized last year in the upcoming U.S. Soccer Development Academy season."
"It is a both a privilege and an honor to be heading up our Youth Development program," Scales said. "We were pleased with the progress that was made last season, but we also understand that plenty of hard work is ahead as we move forward. Our goal is to remain the premier development environment for young soccer players in New England as we challenge our Academy players to continue to develop both on and off the field."
Scales joins the Revolution full-time after stepping down from his post at UMass-Lowell, which he held for two seasons, earlier in October. The Medway, Mass., native came to Lowell from Cornell, where he spent a total of 15 years – four years as an assistant coach (1994-98), followed by a successful 11-year run as head coach (1998-2008). In 2001, Scales was a finalist for national coach of the year honors after leading the Big Red to a No. 22 ranking in the polls and winning the New York region's coach of the year.
Before moving to Cornell, Scales spent two years as an assistant at Harvard (1992-94) and one season as an assistant at Plattsburgh State (1991-92) after a stellar playing career at Hartwick College.
Scales is also an assistant coach with the U.S. Boys (Under-15) National Team. In May of 2009, Scales helped lead the U-15 boys on a 10-day tour of Moenchengladbach, Germany.
A 1991 graduate of Hartwick, Scales was a two-year starter in the midfield and defense and helped the Hawks to the 1987 and 1989 NCAA tournaments. A four-year letter winner, Scales received his bachelor's degree in political science.
Scales and his wife, Mindy, have three children: Aiden (10), Ciara (8) and Jack (6) and live in Nashua, N.H
The 2010-11 Revolution Under-16 and Under-18 teams will return to training later this fall after the conclusion of the high school season, and will participate in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy's winter showcase in Phoenix in December.

One evening after work last week, Bruce and I had quite the discussion on how we wanted to eat healthier meals in the New Year. We talked about eating more vegetarian dishes and avoiding white bread, white sugar and most the most damaging thing of all, fast food. Our conversation was not about making any resolutions, it was all about making some positive lifestyle changes. I particularly liked that idea for I don't believe in resolutions. I know that when I make New Year's resolutions, you can bet that I will break them within a few short months.
One of the challenges with cooking healthy meals in our home is finding dishes that both Bruce and I will enjoy. For instance, I love ingredients such as kidney beans, green peas, fresh picked asparagus and mushrooms. Bruce on the other hand, will not (knowingly) eat those foods. He considers them taboo. And trust me… He has quite the list of "taboo" ingredients. So, in order to accomplish preparing a meal that I know that Bruce will like, I sometimes have to get really creative and super stealthy. That sometimes means chopping the forbidden ingredients into smaller pieces, not telling Bruce what he is "really" eating unless he asks and putting the focus on creating fabulous flavor profiles that distracts his attention. In other words, out of site, out of mind is the key when preparing a dish for Bruce.
While shopping at Trader Joe's last week I found a package of precooked lentils in the produce section of the store. Fortunately, after about ten years of marriage, Bruce has finally warmed to the idea of eating lentils. Unlike Bruce, I have always loved lentils and with our busy lives this precooked ingredient was something that I just had to try. I figured that the precooked lentils would be delicious in salads or soups for lunch during the work week. This evening, I opted to put the lentils in a quick chili for dinner. As a result, I am glad that I did. Bruce absolutely loved it! And the cool part about all this was that he did not notice that he just ate a meal that was hearty, and high in fiber and iron. And, as a final double bonus, it was vegetarian and cholesterol free!
My Easy Lentil Chili is super simple to make, incredibly flavorful and tastes great with fresh baked cornbread and a leafy green salad on the side. Garnish my Easy Lentil Chili with some shredded cheddar cheese, a little dollop of light sour cream, a spoonful of salsa and a sprinkling of fresh chopped cilantro. Enjoy! Tessa
- 1 – 17 oz. package Trader Joe's Steamed Lentils (about 2 1/2 cups, cooked)
- 1 cup onion chopped
- 2 tsp canola oil
- 1 – 15 oz can diced tomatoes
- 2 cups vegetable stock (or more if desired)
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee
- 2 Tbs flour (whisked with 1/2 cup stock to make a slurry)
- 2 Tbs extra dark cocoa powder
- 1 Tbs dark chili powder
- 1 Tbs brown sugar (or to taste)
- 2 tsp garlic paste
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp Sriracha sauce (or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp salt or to taste
- black pepper to taste
- Top with shredded cheddar cheese, salsa, sour cream or fresh cilantro (optional)
In a medium sized pot on medium flame, cook onions in canola oil until onions are translucent. Add 1/2 package of lentils, vegetable stock, coffee, flour slurry, extra dark cocoa powder, dark chili powder, brown sugar, garlic paste, cumin, sriracha, thyme, salt and pepper. Turn down the heat, cook uncovered on low for about 30 – 40 minutes stirring occasionally, taking care not to burn the chili. Add remaining lentils and cook covered for an additional 15 minutes. Taste and correct your seasonings. Ladle into bowls and garnish with cheddar cheese, sour cream, salsa and/or chopped cilantro. Makes about 4 servings.

|[Qemu-devel] [PATCH -V5 28/28] virtio-9p: Change handling of flags in open() path for 9P2000.L
|Thu, 2 Sep 2010 12:39:48 -0700
From: Sripathi Kodi <address@hidden> This patch applies on top of 9P2000.L patches that we have on the list. I took a look at how 9P server is handling open() flags in 9P2000.L path. I think we can do away with the valid_flags() function and simplify the code. The reasoning is as follows: O_NOCTTY: (If the file is a terminal, don't make it the controlling terminal of the process even though the process does not have a controlling terminal) By the time the control reaches 9P client it is clear that what we have is not a terminal device. Hence it does not matter what we do with this flag. In any case 9P server can filter this flag out before making the syscall. O_NONBLOCK: (Don't block if i) Can't read/write to the file ii) Can't get locks) This has an impact on FIFOs, but also on file locks. Hence we can pass it down to the system call. O_ASYNC: From the manpage: O_ASYNC Enable signal-driven I/O: generate a signal (SIGIO by default, but this can be changed via fcntl(2)) when input or output becomes pos- sible on this file descriptor. This feature is only available for terminals, pseudo-terminals, sockets, and (since Linux 2.6) pipes and FIFOs. See fcntl(2) for further details. Again, this does not make any impact on regular files handled by 9P. Also, we don't want 9P server to receive SIGIO. Hence I think 9P server can filter this flag out before making the syscall. O_CLOEXEC: This flag makes sense only on the client. If guest user space sets this flag the guest VFS will take care of calling close() on the fd if an exec() happens. Hence 9P client need not be bothered with this flag. Also I think QEMU will not do an exec, but if it does, it makes sense to close these fds. Hence we can pass this flag down to the syscall. O_CREAT: Since we are in open() path it means we have confirmed that the file exists. Hence there is no need to pass O_CREAT flag down to the system. In fact on some versions of glibc this causes problems, because we pass O_CREAT flag, but don't have permission bits. Hence we can just mask this flag out. So in summary: Mask out: O_NOCTTY O_ASYNC O_CREAT Pass-through: O_NONBLOCK O_CLOEXEC Signed-off-by: Sripathi Kodi <address@hidden> Signed-off-by: Venkateswararao Jujjuri <address@hidden> --- hw/virtio-9p.c | 14 +------------- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) diff --git a/hw/virtio-9p.c b/hw/virtio-9p.c index 4b15ce7..32fa3bc 100644 --- a/hw/virtio-9p.c +++ b/hw/virtio-9p.c @@ -1684,15 +1684,6 @@ out: qemu_free(vs); } -static inline int valid_flags(int flag) -{ - if (flag & O_NOCTTY || flag & O_NONBLOCK || flag & O_ASYNC || - flag & O_CLOEXEC) - return 0; - else - return 1; -} - static void v9fs_open_post_lstat(V9fsState *s, V9fsOpenState *vs, int err) { int flags; @@ -1709,11 +1700,8 @@ static void v9fs_open_post_lstat(V9fsState *s, V9fsOpenState *vs, int err) v9fs_open_post_opendir(s, vs, err); } else { if (s->proto_version == V9FS_PROTO_2000L) { - if (!valid_flags(vs->mode)) { - err = -EINVAL; - goto out; - } flags = vs->mode; + flags &= ~(O_NOCTTY | O_ASYNC | O_CREAT); } else { flags = omode_to_uflags(vs->mode); } -- 188.8.131.52

Turn Up the Party Scene in Black & Gold!
Get your fabulous footwork in action for Shoesday Tuesday with a must-have collection of stilettos that convey all the beauty and style you could ever want in a party shoe….without breaking the bank, of course!
It was hard to narrow down our choice for this round's Shoe of the Week, but we just can't help but give a chic shout out to these High Heel Open Toe Glitter Pumps designed by Nina. While the shimmering factor can definitely spice things up and work for many of your evening party events, especially the much-anticipated homecoming dress season and all your cocktail dress needs, the classic pump factor can easily transition to a more casual look with jeans and a gorgeous blouse. And although we're fashion fanatics over the "swoon-worthy slash never-goes-out-of-style" Black & Gold palette, we have other MUST-OWN colors for any outfit combination. These pumps also come in silver and parfait AKA "too hot to handle" hot pink! This style is a one-of-a-kind option especially if you want to opt for a muted outfit look with a pop of color. We love our Kirbys!
And in keeping with our love for black and gold, here's our dazzling NEW ARRIVAL that we just can't get enough – Short Beaded Fringe Hem Dress by Camille La Vie. We love the Gatsby fashion feel with this vintage-inspired beauty. To call this timeless and chic would be an understatement. And if you really want to stand out from the party crowd, we would highly recommend this look for Homecoming 2013. After all, you want a versatile dress that will last you more than just one night.

I have been working with SharePoint quite a bit over the past few months. At Netstore we are building an AA accessible website for our client using XHTML with a CSS based layout.
Unfortunately I had to fix the bug to pass UAT so I was left with two options - either change the CSS to remove the relative positioning or try to fix the JavaScript. Given that we were working with HTML/CSS delivered by an external design agency (which I didn't want to mess with) I decided to go with the latter.
The blog entry indicated that the problem lay in a Microsoft function called MSOLayout_GetRealOffset. This function is defined in <12>\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033\IE55UP.JS. I didn' t fancy changing this file as it would present a deployment nightmare, but fortunately with JavaScript, you can override a global function by just defining it later on in the HTML. Therefore I was able to redefine this function in my master page and fix the error. Here is the new version of the function:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function MSOLayout_GetRealOffset(StartingObject, OffsetType, EndParent)
var realValue=0;
if (!EndParent) EndParent=document.body;
for (var currentObject=StartingObject; currentObject && currentObject !=EndParent && currentObject != document.body; currentObject=currentObject.offsetParent)
var offset = eval('currentObject.offset'+OffsetType);
if (offset) realValue+=offset;
return realValue;
So if you ever experience the problem, copy and paste this function into your master page file, anywhere after the SPWebPartManager and it should stop.

With the increasing deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), much research is being devoted to the additional tasks that can be performed by these drones. To allow new airborne payloads to be tested rapidly and effectively, a research team at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) is developing an airborne testing capability for sensors, communications devices, and other airborne payloads. Dubbed the GTRI Airborne Unmanned Sensor System (GAUSS), this aerial test bed is based on a UAV made by Griffon Aerospace and modified by GTRI (see photo).
The hope is that the airplane itself will simply be a conveyance, eventually allowing any lightweight sensor/communication package to be mounted on it. The GTRI team has developed a modular design that allows the GAUSS platform to be reconfigured for a number of sensor types. Among the possibilities for evaluation are devices that utilize light-detection-and-ranging (LIDAR) and chemical-biological sensing technology.
A project is already underway to develop, install, and test a sensor suite that is relevant to many of GTRI's customers. It comprises the following: a camera package; a signal-intelligence (SIGINT) package for detecting and locating ground-based emitters; and a multi-channel, X-band ground-mapping radar. To enable electronic scanning, that radar is being designed using phased-array antenna technology. It also can be programmed to transmit arbitrary waveforms. With such flexibility, the radar will be able to do ground mapping in addition to detecting and tracking objects on the ground.
The combined sensor package is lightweight enough to be carried by the GAUSS UAV. Lightweight sensors allow the use of lighter, smaller UAVs. Such drones can fly lower without being detected. Thus, they may gain more or better information by virtue of being closer to the ground.
A variant of the Griffon Outlaw ER aircraft, the GAUSS drone has a 13.6-foot wingspan and a payload capacity of roughly 40 lbs. The aircraft navigates using a high-precision Global Positioning System (GPS) combined with an inertial navigation system. It can be programmed for autonomous flight or piloted manually from the ground. The airborne mission package also includes multi-terabyte onboard data recording and a stabilized gimbal, which isolates the camera from aircraft movement.
